(c) Interest. Subject to Section 2.4.3, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date of Borrowing of such Loan until the maturity or prepayment thereof at the following rates per annum: (i) With respect to the principal portion of such Loan which is, and during such periods as such Loan is, a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (such rate to change from time to time as the Base Rate shall change) plus 4.375%; provided that such 4.375% interest rate margin shall be increased by 0.50% on the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date. (ii) With respect to the principal portion of such Loan which is, and during such periods as such Loan is, a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum, at all times during each Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, equal to the greater of (A) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period and (B) 2.00%, in each case plus 5.125%; provided that such 5.125% interest rate margin shall be increased by 0.50% on the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date. (d) Principal Payments. Borrower shall repay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Bank, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan made by such Bank in installments payable on each Principal Repayment Date in accordance with the repayment schedule set forth on Exhibit I, with any remaining unpaid principal, interest, fees and costs due and payable on the Maturity Date. Borrower may not re-borrow the principal amount of any Loan so repaid. 2.1.2 Interest Provisions Relating to All Loans. (a) Applicable Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.4.3, the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan shall be selected by Borrower initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given pursuant to Section 2.1.1. The basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loan may be changed from time to time as specified in a Notice of Conversion of Loan Type delivered pursuant to Section 2.1.5. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Base Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Banks shall not be obligated to make any LIBOR Loans with an Interest Period greater than one month. (b) Interest Payment Dates. Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (i) in the case of each Base Rate Loan, on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, (ii) in the case of each LIBOR Loan, on the last Banking Day of the calendar month in which the three-month anniversary of the first day of the applicable Interest Period in which such LIBOR Loan is outstanding occurs, and (iii) in all cases, upon repayment or prepayment (to the extent thereof and including any optional prepayments or Mandatory Prepayments), upon conversion from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise); provided, however, that Borrower's first scheduled interest payment hereunder shall occur on March 31, 2004. 3

(c) LIBOR Loan Interest Periods. --------------------------- (i) Subject to Section 2.1.2(a), each Interest Period for LIBOR Loans shall be twelve months. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, (A) any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Banking Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Banking Day unless such next Banking Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Banking Day; (B) any Interest Period which begins on the last Banking Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Banking Day of a calendar month; and (C) any Interest Period which would otherwise end after the Maturity Date shall end on the Maturity Date. (ii) Borrower may contact Administrative Agent at any time prior to the end of an Interest Period for a quotation of Interest Rates in effect at such time for given Interest Periods and Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such quotation. Borrower may select an Interest Period telephonically or by electronic mail within the time periods specified in Section 2.1.5, which selection shall be irrevocable on and after commencement of the applicable Minimum Notice Period. Borrower shall confirm such telephonic or electronic mail notice to Administrative Agent by facsimile on the day such notice is given by delivery to Administrative Agent of a written notice in substantially the form of Exhibit C-2, appropriately completed (a "Confirmation of Interest Period Selection"). If Borrower fails to notify Administrative Agent of the next Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans in accordance with this Section 2.1.2(c)(ii) then, subject to Section 2.1.2(a), such Loans shall automatically be renewed as LIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of twelve months on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor. Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable (and, in any case, within two Banking Days after delivery of the Confirmation of Interest Period Selection) notify Borrower of each determination of the Interest Rate applicable to each Loan. (d) Interest Computations. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans shall be based upon a year of 365 days or, in the case of a leap year, 366 days, shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day), and shall be adjusted in accordance with any changes in the Base Rate to take effect on the beginning of the day of such change in the Base Rate. All computations of interest on LIBOR Loans shall be based upon a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Borrower agrees that all computations by Administrative Agent of interest shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. 2.1.3 Promissory Notes. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans made by a Bank and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall, upon the written request of such Bank, be evidenced by promissory notes in the form of Exhibit B-1 (individually, a "Note" and, collectively, the "Notes") payable to the order of such requesting Bank and in the principal amount of such Bank's Senior Loan Commitment or outstanding Loan balance, as the case may be. Borrower authorizes each such requesting Bank to record on the schedule annexed to such Bank's Note or Notes, the date and amount of each Loan made by such requesting Bank, and each payment or prepayment of principal thereunder and agrees that all such notations shall 4
EX-10.1.56th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
constitute prima facie evidence of the matters noted; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between the records or books of Administrative Agent and any Bank's records or Notes, the records of Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. Borrower further authorizes each such requesting Bank to attach to and make a part of such requesting Bank's Note or Notes continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. No failure to make any such notations, nor any errors in making any such notations, shall affect the validity of Borrower's obligations to repay the full unpaid principal amount of the Loans or the duties of Borrower hereunder or thereunder. Upon the payment in full in cash of the aggregate principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Loans, and upon the request of Borrower, the Banks holding such Notes shall promptly mark the applicable Notes cancelled and return such cancelled Notes to Borrower. 2.1.4 Loan Funding. (a) Notice. Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Conversion of Loan Type shall be delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.1.1(b) and 2.1.5, respectively. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents of each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Conversion of Loan Type. (b) Pro Rata Loans. All Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis by the Banks in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares of such Loans, with each Borrowing to consist of a Loan by each Bank equal to such Bank's Proportionate Share of such Loans. (c) Bank Funding. Each Bank shall, before noon (12:00 p.m.) on the date of each Borrowing, make available to Administrative Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars to the account of Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose, such Bank's Proportionate Share of the Loan to be made on such date. The failure of any Bank to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Loan. Except as provided in Section 9.12, no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank on the date of any Borrowing. (d) Failure of Bank to Fund. Without limiting the obligations of Beal Bank, S.S.B. under Section 9.12, unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the applicable date of a Borrowing that such Bank does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Bank's Proportionate Share of the Loan requested on such date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with the prior paragraph and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such date. If such amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Bank, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand (and, in any event, within two Banking Days from the applicable date of such Borrowing) from such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the applicable date of such Borrowing until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Banking Days after such date. If such Bank pays such amount to Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Bank's Proportionate Share of 5
EX-10.1.57th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
such Loan included in such Loan. Nothing in this Section 2.1.4(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to fulfill its obligations hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder. (e) Funding Account. No later than noon (12:00 p.m.) on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, if the applicable conditions precedent listed in Section 3.1 have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof and, subject to Section 2.1.4(d), to the extent Administrative Agent shall have received the appropriate funds from the Banks, Administrative Agent shall make available to Borrower the Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing in Dollars and in immediately available funds, at Administrative Agent's New York Branch, and shall deposit or cause to be deposited the proceeds of such Loans into the Funding Account. 2.1.5 Conversion of Loans. Borrower may convert Loans (or portions thereof) from one Type of Loans to another Type of Loans; provided, however, that (i) any conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on, the first day after the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans and (ii) Loans shall be converted only in amounts of $1,000,000 and increments of $500,000 in excess thereof. Borrower shall request such a conversion by delivering to Administrative Agent a written notice in the form of Exhibit C-3, appropriately completed (a "Notice of Conversion of Loan Type"), which contains or specifies, among other things: (a) the Loans, or portions thereof, which are to be converted; (b) the Type of Loans into which such Loans, or portions thereof, are to be converted; (c) if such Loans are to be converted into LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period selected by Borrower for such Loans (which Interest Period, subject to Section 2.1.2(a), shall be twelve months as provided in Section 2.1.2(c)); (d) the proposed date of the requested conversion (which shall be a Banking Day and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.1.5); and (e) a certification by Borrower that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Borrower shall so deliver each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type so as to provide at least the applicable Minimum Notice Period. Any Notice of Conversion of Loan Type may be modified or revoked by Borrower through the Banking Day immediately prior to the Minimum Notice Period, and shall thereafter be irrevocable. Each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type shall be delivered in any manner permitted by Section 10.1 to Administrative Agent at the office, to the facsimile number or to the electronic mail address and as otherwise specified in Section 10.1. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents of each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type. 6

2.1.6 Prepayments. (a) Terms of All Prepayments. ------------------------ (i) Upon the prepayment of any Loan (whether such prepayment is an optional prepayment under Section 2.1.6(b) or a Mandatory Prepayment), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Bank which made such Loan, (A) all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount of such Loan prepaid, (B) all accrued fees to the date of such prepayment relating to the amount of such Loan being prepaid, (C) any applicable Make-Whole Premiums, and (D) if such prepayment is the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, all Liquidation Costs incurred by such Bank as a result of such prepayment (pursuant to the terms of Section 2.6). (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but only in respect of any Mandatory Prepayment, Borrower shall have the right, by giving five Banking Days' notice to Administrative Agent, in lieu of prepaying a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, to deposit or cause Administrative Agent to deposit into an account to be held by Depositary Agent (which account shall be subjected to the Lien of the Collateral Documents in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) an amount equal to the LIBOR Loans to be prepaid. Such funds shall be held in such account until the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to the LIBOR Loan to be prepaid at which time the amount deposited in such account shall be used to prepay such LIBOR Loan and any interest accrued on such amount shall be deposited into the Revenue Account. The deposit of amounts into such account shall not constitute a prepayment of Loans and all Loans to be prepaid using the proceeds from such account shall continue to accrue interest at the then applicable interest rate for such Loans until actually prepaid. All amounts in such account shall only be invested in Permitted Investments as directed by and at the expense and risk of Borrower. (iii) Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, all prepayments of Loans shall be applied to reduce the remaining payments required under Section 2.1.1(d) in inverse order of maturity. Borrower may not re-borrow the principal amount of any Loan which is prepaid. (b) Optional Prepayments. -------------------- (i) On or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower may not prepay all or any part of the outstanding Loans. (ii) After the third anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower may prepay all or any part of the outstanding Loans, at any time, on giving at least 30-Banking Days' notice to Administrative Agent, provided that, (A) each such prepayment equals or exceeds $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and, (B) each such prepayment shall be made at a prepayment premium (the "Make-Whole Premium") equal to (I) after the third anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, 103% of the amount of such outstanding Loans, (II) after the fourth anniversary of the Closing 7

Date and on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, 102.5% of the amount of such outstanding Loans, (III) after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, 102% of the amount of such outstanding Loans, (IV) after the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, 101.5% of the amount of such outstanding Loans, (V) after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, 101% of the amount of such outstanding Loans, (VI) after the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the ninth anniversary of the Closing Date, 100.5% of the amount of such outstanding Loans, and (VII) thereafter, 100% of the amount of such outstanding Loans. (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 2.1.6(b)(i) and (ii), if the Banks do not provide the Lease Financing for reasons other than that Borrower is not in full compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of the Fee Letter, then Borrower may prepay, without premium or penalty, all (but not part) of the outstanding Loans, at any time, on giving at least 30-Banking Days' notice to Administrative Agent (provided that if Borrower shall have delivered the Release Notice pursuant to Section 3.3, the Borrower shall not have any such right to prepay such Loans under this clause (iii)). (c) Mandatory Prepayments. Borrower shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid) Loans (i) to the extent required by Sections 3.7.4(b) and (c) of the Depositary Agreement, Section 7.2 of this Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document which requires such prepayment or (ii) to the extent of (A) 100% of the cash proceeds of the issuance of any new equity securities of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any equity securities issued by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Sponsor Guaranty), (B) 100% of any debt (other than Permitted Debt) issued by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (C) 100% of proceeds of asset sales of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than sales permitted by Section 6.3 and exclusive of sales of electrical energy and renewable energy credits in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents) (any such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.1.6(c), a "Mandatory Prepayment"). If the Loans are accelerated (whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law) upon the occurrence or during the continuation of any Event of Default occurring under Section 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.1.9 or 7.1.11 or otherwise as a result of a willful breach by Borrower of any of its obligations under Section 5.2, 5.17, 5.18, 6.1, 6.3 or 6.8 that results in an Event of Default, Borrower shall repay all of the outstanding Loans at a price equal to (I) on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date, 105% of the amount of such outstanding Loans and (II) after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the applicable Make-Whole Premium. 2.1.7 Register.

The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record in the Register (i) the Commitments and the Loans from time to time of each Bank, (ii) the interest rates applicable to all Loans and the effective dates of all changes thereto, (iii) the Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan, (iv) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and 8
EX-10.1.510th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
payable from Borrower to each Bank hereunder, (v) each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Bank, (vi) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Banks and each Bank's share thereof, and (vii) such other information as Administrative Agent may determine is necessary or appropriate for the administering of the Loans and this Agreement. Any such recording shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error; provided that neither the failure to make any such recordation, nor any error in such recordation, shall affect any Bank's Commitment or Borrower's Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans or otherwise; and provided further that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Bank's records, the Register shall govern absent manifest error. 2.2 TOTAL SENIOR LOAN COMMITMENTS. Notwithstanding anything that may be construed to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by the Banks shall not exceed $154,500,000 (such amount, the "Total Senior Loan Commitment"). 2.3 FEES. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent solely for Administrative Agent's account the fees and other amounts described in the Fee Letter. 2.4 OTHER PAYMENT TERMS. 2.4.1 Place and Manner. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Fee Letter or any other provision contained in any of the Credit Documents, Borrower shall make all payments due to any Bank or Administrative Agent hereunder to Administrative Agent, for the account of such Bank or Administrative Agent (as the case may be), to the account in the name of OrCal Geothermal Inc., Account No. 01-20016024, at Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, ABA No. 111040195, or such other account as Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower in writing from time to time, in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date on which such payment is due. Any payment made after such time on any day shall be deemed received on the Banking Day immediately after the date such payment is received. Administrative Agent shall disburse to each Bank each such payment received by Administrative Agent for such Bank, such disbursement to occur on the day such payment is received if received by 12:00 noon or if otherwise reasonably possible, or otherwise on the next Banking Day. 2.4.2 Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be, without duplication of any interest or fees so paid in the next subsequent calculation of interest or fees payable. 2.4.3 Default Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 7.1.1, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any accrued but unpaid interest payments thereon and any accrued but unpaid fees and other amounts hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under applicable Bankruptcy Laws) payable upon demand at a rate that is (a) 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate then otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans or (b) in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate that is 2% per 9
EX-10.1.511th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
annum in excess of the interest rate then otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans (the "Default Rate"); provided that, in the case of LIBOR Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective, such LIBOR Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate then otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. 2.4.4 Net of Taxes, Etc. (a) Taxes. Subject to each Bank's compliance with Section 2.4.6, any and all payments to or for the benefit of Administrative Agent or any Bank by Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction, setoff or counterclaim of any kind whatsoever and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments, after deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (excluding income and franchise taxes, which include taxes imposed on or measured by the net income, net profits or capital of Administrative Agent or such Bank by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of a connection between such Bank and such jurisdiction or political subdivision, unless such connection results solely from such Bank's executing, delivering or performing its obligations or receiving a payment under, or enforcing, this Agreement or any Note) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"), shall be equal to the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. If Borrower shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document to Administrative Agent or any Bank, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4.4), Administrative Agent or such Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (not including income or franchise taxes) that arise under the laws of the United States of America, the State of New York or the State of California from any payment made hereunder or under any other Credit Document or from the execution or delivery or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes"). (b) Tax Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify each Bank for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.4.4) paid by any Bank, or any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided that 10
EX-10.1.512th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Bank for any penalties, interest or expenses relating to Taxes or Other Taxes arising from such Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Bank agrees to give written notice to Borrower of the assertion of any claim against such Bank relating to such Taxes or Other Taxes as promptly as is practicable after being notified of such assertion, and in no event later than 90 days after the principal officer of such Bank responsible for administering this Agreement obtains knowledge thereof; provided that any Bank's failure to notify Borrower of such assertion within such 90 day period shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 2.4.4 with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes, penalties, interest or expenses arising prior to the end of such period, but shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 2.4.4 with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes, penalties, interest or expenses between the end of such period and such time as Borrower receives notice from such Bank as provided herein. Payments by Borrower pursuant to this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank makes written demand therefor (submitted through Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof. (c) Notice. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes by Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or, if such receipt is not obtainable, other evidence of such payment by Borrower reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall compensate each Bank for all reasonable losses and expenses sustained by such Bank as a result of any failure by Borrower to so furnish such copy of such receipt. (d) Conduit Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4.4, if a Bank is a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement (as defined in Section 7701(l) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder) with respect to any payments made by Borrower under this Agreement and under any Credit Document, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay additional amounts to such Bank pursuant to this Section 2.4.4 to the extent that the amount of taxes in the United States exceeds the amount that would have otherwise been payable were such Bank not a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement. (e) Reimbursement by Banks. If any Bank receives an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 2.4.4(b) and if such Bank is able, in its sole opinion, to apply or otherwise take advantage of any refund or tax credit arising out of or in conjunction with any Taxes or Other Taxes which give rise to such indemnification, such Bank shall, to the extent that in its sole opinion it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund or credit and without any other adverse tax consequences for such Bank, reimburse to Borrower at such time as such tax refund or credit shall have actually been received or utilized by such Bank such amount as the Bank shall, in its sole opinion, have determined to be attributable to the relevant Taxes or Other Taxes and as will leave such Bank in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been required. Nothing in this Section 2.4.4(e) shall oblige any Bank to disclose to Borrower or any other person any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations, or shall interfere with Bank's absolute 11

discretion to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit. In particular, no Bank shall be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability in credits or deductions available to it and, if it does claim, the extent, order and manner in which it does so shall be at its absolute discretion. (f) Survival of Obligations. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 2.4.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. 2.4.5 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, payments made under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents and other amounts received by Administrative Agent, Depositary Agent or the Banks under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall first be applied to any fees, costs, charges or expenses payable to Administrative Agent, Depositary Agent or the Banks, next to any accrued but unpaid interest then due and owing, and then to outstanding principal then due and owing or otherwise to be prepaid, in each case hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (in each case, such application to be made on a pro rata basis among such applicable Persons). 2.4.6 Withholding Exemption Certificates. Each Bank upon becoming a Bank and each Person to which any Bank grants a participation (or otherwise transfers its interest in this Agreement) upon the granting of such participation (or the occurrence of such other transfer) will deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower either (a) if such Bank or Person is a corporation established under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, an executed copy of a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or (b) if such Bank or Person is not a corporation established under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, a duly completed and executed non-bank certificate in the form of Exhibit J hereto, if applicable, and two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be (certifying therein an entitlement to a reduction in, or an exemption from, United States withholding taxes). Each Bank or Person which delivers to Borrower and Administrative Agent a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to the preceding sentence shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent two copies of each Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification or procedure, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding (or at a reduced rate of withholding under any applicable tax treaty) of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such cases an event (including any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent a Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Bank advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding (or at a reduced rate of withholding) of United States federal income tax, and in the case of Form W-8BEN or W- 12

8ECI, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Borrower shall not be obligated, however, to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 2.4.4 (or make an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 2.4.4) to any Bank (including any entity to which any Bank sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, any Note or any other Credit Document) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts (or such indemnification) would not have arisen but for a failure of such Bank to comply with its obligations under this Section 2.4.6. 2.5 PRO RATA TREATMENT. 2.5.1 Borrowings, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) each Borrowing consisting of Loans shall be made or allocated among the Banks pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares of such Loans and (b) each payment of principal of and interest on Loans shall be made or shared among the Banks holding such Loans pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans held by such Banks. 2.5.2 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Loans owed to it, in excess of its Proportionate Share of payments on account of such Loans obtained by all Banks entitled to such payments, such Bank shall forthwith purchase from the other Banks such participation in the Loans, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from such Bank shall be rescinded and each other Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Bank's Proportionate Share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such other Bank's required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.5.2 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. 2.6 CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES. 2.6.1 Inability to Determine Rates. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans, (a) Administrative Agent determines that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined due to the unavailability of funds in or other circumstances affecting the London interbank market, or (b) Banks holding aggregate Proportionate Shares of 33-1/3% or more of the Loans shall advise Administrative Agent that (i) the rates of interest for such LIBOR Loans do not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of making or maintaining such Loans or (ii) deposits in Dollars in the London interbank market are not available to such Banks (as conclusively certified by each such Bank in good faith in writing to Administrative Agent and to Borrower) in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to make and/or maintain their LIBOR Loans, then Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice of such condition to Borrower. After 13
EX-10.1.515th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
the giving of any such notice and until Administrative Agent shall otherwise notify Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such condition no longer exist (which Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower promptly, and in any event within 2 Banking Days, after the cessation of such circumstances), Borrower's right to request from the applicable affected Banks the making of or conversion to, and the applicable affected Banks' obligations to make or convert to, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right in such event to request the making of or conversion to, and the applicable affected Banks shall be obligated to make or convert to, LIBOR Loans with an Interest Period that is 1, 3, 6 or 9 months (as selected by such Banks) if the circumstances giving rise to the conditions described in this Section 2.6.1 are not applicable to LIBOR Loans with such shorter Interest Period. Any LIBOR Loans outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Loans into Base Rate Loans unless such suspension has then ended. 2.6.2 Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a result of amendment, or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Instrumentality, or compliance by any Bank or Borrower with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, being of a type with which a Bank customarily complies) of any Governmental Instrumentality (a "Change of Law") shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then such Bank shall immediately notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of such Change of Law. Upon receipt of such notice, (a) Borrower's right to request the making of or conversion to, and such Bank's obligations to make or convert to, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended for so long as such condition shall exist, and (b) Borrower shall, at the request of such Bank, at Borrower's option either (i) pursuant to Section 2.1.5, convert any then outstanding LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods for such Loans, or (ii) immediately repay pursuant to Section 2.1.6 or convert LIBOR Loans of the affected Type into Base Rate Loans if such Bank shall notify Borrower that such Bank may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such Loans. Any conversion or prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Section 2.7 (but not for purposes of Section 2.1.6(b)). 2.6.3 Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, any Change of Law: (a) shall subject any Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan or Commitment in respect thereof, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments by Borrower to any Bank on such a Loan or with respect to any such Commitment (except for Taxes, Other Taxes or changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of any Bank); or (b) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (without duplication of any reserve requirement included within the applicable Interest Rate through the definition of "Reserve Requirement") against assets held by, 14
EX-10.1.516th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by any Bank for any LIBOR Loan; or (c) shall impose on any Bank any other condition directly related to any LIBOR Loan or Commitment in respect thereof; and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank of making, issuing, creating, renewing, participating in (subject to the limitations in Section 9.13) or maintaining any such LIBOR Loan or Commitment in respect thereof or to reduce any amount receivable by such Bank hereunder, then Borrower shall from time to time, within thirty days after demand by such Bank, pay to such Bank additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Bank for such increased costs or to compensate such Bank for such reduced amounts. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts and the basis for determination of such amount, submitted by such Bank to Borrower, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower for purposes of this Agreement. 2.6.4 Capital Requirements. If any Bank determines that (a) any Change of Law after the date of this Agreement increases the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank, or the Lending Office of such Bank or any Person controlling such Bank (a "Capital Adequacy Requirement"), and (b) the amount of capital maintained by such Bank or such Person which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Bank's or such Person's policies with respect to capital adequacy), then Borrower shall pay to such Bank or such Person, within thirty days after delivery of demand by such Bank or such Person, such amounts as such Bank or such Person shall reasonably determine are necessary to compensate such Bank or such Person for the increased costs to such Bank or such Person of such increased capital. A certificate of such Bank or such Person, setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any such increased costs, delivered to Borrower by such Bank or such Person shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower for purposes of this Agreement. 2.6.5 Notice; Participating Banks' Rights. Each Bank shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.6, as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than 90 days after the principal officer of such Bank responsible for administering this Agreement obtains knowledge thereof; provided that any Bank's failure to notify Borrower within such 90 day period shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 2.6 with respect to claims arising prior to the end of such period, but shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 2.6 with respect to the time between the end of such period and such time as Borrower receives notice from the indemnitee as provided herein. No Person purchasing from a Bank a participation in any Loan (as opposed to an assignment) shall be entitled to any payment from or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4.4, Section 2.6.3 or Section 2.6.4 which would be in excess of the applicable proportionate amount (based on the portion of the Loan in which such Person is participating) which would then be payable to such Bank if such Bank had not sold a participation in that portion of the Loan. 15

2.7 FUNDING LOSSES. If Borrower shall (a) repay or prepay any LIBOR Loans on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans (whether an optional prepayment or a Mandatory Prepayment), (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR Loans in accordance with a Notice of Borrowing delivered to Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise) after such Notice of Loan Borrowing has become irrevocable, (c) fail to convert any Loans into LIBOR Loans in accordance with a Notice of Conversion of Loan Type delivered to Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise) after such Notice of Conversion of Loan Type has become irrevocable, (d) fail to continue a LIBOR Loan in accordance with a Confirmation of Interest Period Selection delivered to Administrative Agent, or (e) fail to make any prepayment in accordance with any notice of prepayment delivered to Administrative Agent, then Borrower shall, within ten Banking Days after demand by any Bank, reimburse such Bank for all reasonable costs and losses incurred by such Bank as a result of such repayment, prepayment or failure ("Liquidation Costs"). Borrower understands that such costs and losses may include losses incurred by a Bank as a result of funding and other contracts entered into by such Bank to fund LIBOR Loans (other than non-receipt of the margin applicable to such LIBOR Loans). Each Bank demanding payment under this Section 2.7 shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the amount of costs and losses for which demand is made. Such a certificate so delivered to Borrower shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount of such loss for purposes of this Agreement. 2.8 ALTERNATE OFFICE. 2.8.1 To the extent reasonably possible, each Bank shall designate an alternative Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Loans and otherwise take any reasonable actions to reduce any liability of Borrower to any Bank under Section 2.4.4, 2.6.3, 2.6.4 or 2.7, or to avoid the unavailability of any Type of Loans under Section 2.6.1 or 2.6.2 so long as (in the case of the designation of an alternative Lending Office) such Bank, in its sole discretion, determines that (a) such designation is not disadvantageous to such Bank and (b) such actions would eliminate or reduce liability to such Bank. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or actions within ten Banking Days of demand thereof to Borrower. 2.8.2 Upon written notice to Administrative Agent, any Bank may designate a Lending Office other than the Lending Office most recently designated to Administrative Agent and may assign all of its interests under the Credit Documents and its Notes (if any) to such Lending Office; provided that such designation and assignment do not at the time of such designation and assignment increase the reasonably foreseeable liability of Borrower under Section 2.4.4, 2.6.3 or 2.6.4 or make an Interest Rate option unavailable pursuant to Section 2.6.1 or 2.6.2. 2.9 REPLACEMENT OF BANK IN RESPECT OF INCREASED COSTS. 2.9.1 Within fifteen days after receipt by Borrower of (a) written notice and demand from any Bank (an "Affected Bank") for payment of additional amounts or increased costs as provided in Section 2.4.4, 2.6.3 or 2.6.4, (b) notice that such Bank is suspending its 16
EX-10.1.518th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 18th
obligation to make or convert to LIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of twelve months as provided in Section 2.6.1, or (c) notice that it is unlawful for such Bank to make LIBOR Loans as provided in Section 2.6.2, Borrower may, at its option, notify Administrative Agent and such Affected Bank of its intention to replace the Affected Bank. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may obtain, at Borrower's expense, one or more replacement Banks (each, a "Replacement Bank") for the Affected Bank, which Replacement Banks shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. If Borrower obtains a Replacement Bank within 90 days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Bank must sell and assign its Loans to such Replacement Banks for an aggregate amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Affected Bank and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of such sale; provided, however, that Borrower shall have reimbursed such Affected Bank for the additional amounts, increased costs, and any other amounts that it is entitled to receive under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. 2.9.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not have the right to obtain a Replacement Bank if the Affected Bank rescinds its demand for increased costs or additional amounts within fifteen days following its receipt of Borrower's notice of intention to replace such Affected Bank. If Borrower gives a notice of intention to replace and does not so replace such Affected Bank within 90 days thereafter, Borrower's rights relating to any previously incurred increased costs or additional amounts under this Section 2.9 shall terminate and Borrower shall promptly pay all increased costs or additional amounts previously demanded by such Affected Bank pursuant to Sections 2.4.4, 2.6.1, 2.6.3 or 2.6.4.

If Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Potential Event of Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Banks. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Event of Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect as is provided in Article 3, Article 7 or the terms of the Credit Documents, or if not provided for in Article 3, Article 7 or such Credit Documents, as Administrative Agent shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Banks; provided, however, that unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Event of Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Banks. 9.5 INDEMNIFICATION. Without limiting the Obligations of Borrower hereunder, each Bank agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, shareholders, controlling Persons, employees, agents and servants, ratably in accordance with their Proportionate Shares for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent or such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents (to the extent Borrower has not paid any such amounts pursuant to Section 5.24); provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent's, or any such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent or any such Person shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limitation of the foregoing, 64
EX-10.1.566th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 66th
each Bank agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent or any such Person promptly upon demand for its Proportionate Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent or any such Person in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Operative Documents, to the extent that Administrative Agent or any such Person is not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrower. 9.6 SUCCESSOR AGENT. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving fifteen days' written notice thereof to the Secured Parties and Borrower, such resignation to become effective in the manner and at the time set forth below. Administrative Agent may be removed involuntarily at the request of Borrower or the Banks only for a material breach of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents or for gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents and then only upon the affirmative vote of the Required Banks (excluding Administrative Agent from such vote and Administrative Agent's Proportionate Share (if any) of the Commitments from the amounts used to determine the portion of the Commitments necessary to constitute the required Proportionate Share of the remaining Banks). Upon any such resignation or removal of Administrative Agent, the Required Banks shall have the right, with the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Banks' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, with the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder, which shall be a Bank, if any Bank shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under the Operative Documents by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent only under the Credit Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Operative Documents. 9.7 AUTHORIZATION. Each Secured Party hereby constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent, acting for and on behalf of itself and each of the Secured Parties and each successor or assign of Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Secured Party, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Secured Party and in the name of such Secured Party, Administrative Agent or otherwise to (a) to execute, deliver and perform each of the Credit Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party, and each Bank agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in the Credit Documents, and (b) to release Liens on property that Borrower is permitted to sell or transfer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other 65

Credit Documents and to enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of curing any formal defect, inconsistency, omission or ambiguity in this Agreement or any Credit Document to which it is a party. 9.8 OTHER ROLES. With respect to its Commitment, the Loans made by it and any Note issued to it, Administrative Agent in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers under the Operative Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent. The term "Bank" or "Banks" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity for so long as Administrative Agent has Loans or Commitments outstanding. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any other Person, without any duty to account therefor to the Banks. For the avoidance of doubt Administrative Agent may act as Depositary Agent notwithstanding any potential or actual conflict of interest presented by the foregoing and Borrower. Each of the Banks hereby waives any claim against Administrative Agent and any of its Affiliates based upon any conflict of interest that such Person may have with regard to acting as an agent, arranger or issuing bank hereunder and acting in such other roles. 9.9 AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.9, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or another Credit Document, the Required Banks (or Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.7, or otherwise with the consent in writing of the Majority Banks or Required Banks, as the case may be) and Borrower, Guarantors, Non-Guarantors or Sponsor may enter into agreements, waivers or supplements hereto for the purpose of adding, modifying or waiving any provisions to the Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Banks, Borrower, Guarantors, Non-Guarantors or Sponsor hereunder or thereunder or waiving any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Bank directly affected thereby: (a) modify, in any respect adverse to the Banks, Section 2.1.1(d), 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 6.12 (with respect to the assignment of Borrower's or any Guarantors' rights under any of the Credit Documents), 9.13, 9.14 or 10.21 hereof, Section 3.1.2(b) of the Depositary Agreement or Article 2 of the Sponsor Guaranty; or (b) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of "Majority Banks" or "Required Banks"; or (c) amend this Section 9.9; or (d) release any Collateral (other than immaterial portions thereof) from the Lien of any of the Collateral Documents or allow release of any funds from any Account, in each case other than in accordance with Section 3.3 and any other applicable terms of the Credit Documents (provided, however, that with the consent of Administrative Agent, HFC may terminate or quitclaim any of the Non-Material Real Property Interests); or 66

If the forms or other documentation required by Section 2.4.6 are not delivered to Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Bank not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. 9.10.1 If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Bank (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Bank failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), then such Bank shall indemnify Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs, and any out of pocket expenses. Borrower shall not be responsible for any amounts paid or required to be paid by a Bank under this Section 9.10.1. 9.10.2 If any Bank sells, assigns, grants participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee, participant or transferee, as applicable, shall comply and be bound by the terms of Section 2.4.6 and this Section 9.10 as though it were such Bank. 67

9.11 GENERAL PROVISIONS AS TO PAYMENTS. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Bank, subject to the terms of any separate agreement between Administrative Agent and such Bank, its pro rata share of each payment of principal and interest payable to the Banks on the Loans and of fees hereunder received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks and of any other amounts owing under the Loans. The payments made for the account of each Bank shall be made, and distributed to it, for the account of (a) its domestic lending office in the case of payments of principal of, and interest on, its Base Rate Loans, (b) its domestic or foreign lending office, as each Bank may designate in writing to Administrative Agent, in the case of LIBOR Loans, and (c) its domestic lending office, or such other lending office as it may designate for the purpose from time to time, in the case of payments of fees and other amounts payable hereunder. Subject to the requirement of Section 2.8.2, Banks shall have the right to alter designated lending offices upon five Banking Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower. Administrative Agent and each Bank acknowledge and agree that each payment made by or on behalf of any Loan Party to Administrative Agent under any Credit Document for the benefit of any Bank shall discharge the obligation of such Loan Party under such Credit Document to make such payment to Administrative Agent or such Bank irrespective of any designation made by such Bank, or any agreement or arrangement between Administrative Agent and such Bank, contemplated by this Section 9.11. 9.12 SUBSTITUTION OF BANK. Notwithstanding anything in any Credit Document to the contrary, should any Bank fail to make a Loan in violation of its obligations under this Agreement (a "Non-Advancing Bank"), Beal Bank, S.S.B. shall fund such Loan on the Closing Date and shall be deemed to have assumed each of the Non-Advancing Bank's obligations under this Agreement (including the obligation to make the Loan which the Non-Advancing Bank failed to make) and such Person automatically shall be substituted for the Non-Advancing Bank hereunder, and all interest and fees which would otherwise have been payable to the Non-Advancing Bank shall thereafter be payable to such Person. Nothing in (and no action taken pursuant to) this Section 9.12 shall relieve the Non-Advancing Bank from any liability it might have to Borrower or to the other Banks as a result of its failure to make any Loan. 9.13 PARTICIPATION. Nothing herein provided shall prevent any Bank from selling a participation in one or more of its Loans made hereunder; provided that (a) no such sale of a participation shall alter such Bank's or Borrower's obligations hereunder and (b) any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant a participation in its rights with respect to its Loans made hereunder shall provide that, with respect to such Loans, subject to the following proviso, such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to exercise the rights of such Bank, including any rights it has to enforce the obligations of Borrower relating to such Loans, to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and to take action to have the Obligations (or any portion thereof) declared due and payable pursuant to Article 7; provided, however, that such agreement may provide that the participant may exercise any rights that such Bank may have to approve or disapprove decreases in interest rates, lengthening of maturity of any Loans, extend the payment date for any principal or interest payments, release of any material portion of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents) or release any Loan Party (other than in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents) from its obligations under the Sponsor Guaranty or any 68

Subsidiary Guaranty. Recipients of a participation in any Loans of any Bank shall have rights under this Agreement with respect to increased costs or reserve requirements under Section 2.4 or 2.6, if such recipient complies with the requirements of Section 2.4.6, to the same extent as if they were Banks (except that any such participant shall be entitled to claim any such amount only to the extent that the Bank from which such participant acquired its participation is entitled to, and such Bank makes such claim on its own behalf because it would have otherwise incurred the same costs). For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall not be responsible for increased costs arising out of any sale of a participation of any Loans or Notes. 9.14 TRANSFER OF COMMITMENT. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, any Bank, after receiving Administrative Agent's prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), may from time to time, without the consent of Borrower or any other Person, at its option, sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or otherwise dispose of a portion of one or more of its Loans made hereunder (including the Bank's interest in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents) to its Affiliate, any Bank or to one or more banks or other Persons that constitute a "Bank"; provided, however, that no Bank (including any assignee of any Bank) may assign any portion of its Loans in an amount less than $1,000,000 (unless such lesser amount constitutes the assigning Bank's entire share of the Loans); and provided, further, that at all times Beal Bank, S.S.B. and its Affiliates shall collectively hold no less than 51% of the aggregate amount of the Loans and the Commitments; and provided, further, that Borrower shall not be responsible for increased costs arising out of any assignment of any Loans or Notes. In the event of any such assignment, (a) the assigning Bank's Proportionate Share shall be reduced and its obligations hereunder released by the amount of the Proportionate Share assigned to the new Bank, (b) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver an appropriate agreement evidencing such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Borrower, (c) the parties to the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, excluding Borrower, shall collectively pay to Administrative Agent an administrative fee of $3,500, (d) at the assigning Bank's option, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such assigning Bank a new Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, as requested, in a principal amount equal to such new Bank's Commitment, but only if it shall also be executing and exchanging with the assigning Bank a replacement note for any Note in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by the assigning Bank, if any; provided that Borrower shall have received for cancellation the existing Note held by such assigning Bank, and (v) Administrative Agent shall amend Exhibit H attached hereto to reflect the Proportionate Shares of the Banks following such assignment. Thereafter, such new Bank shall be deemed to be a Bank and shall have all of the rights and duties of a Bank (except as otherwise provided in this Article 9), in accordance with its Proportionate Share, under each of the Credit Documents. 9.15 LAWS. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 9, no sale, assignment, transfer, negotiation or other disposition of the interests of any Bank hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall be allowed if it would require registration under the federal Securities Act of 1933, as then amended, any other federal securities laws or regulations or the securities laws or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction. Borrower shall, from time to time at the request and expense of Administrative Agent, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, or to such party or parties as Administrative Agent may designate, any and all further 69
EX-10.1.571st Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 71st
instruments as may in the opinion of Administrative Agent be reasonably necessary or advisable to give full force and effect to such sale, assignment, transfer, negotiation or disposition which would not require any such registration. 9.16 ASSIGNABILITY AS COLLATERAL. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, any Bank may assign all or any portion of the Loans or Note held by it to the Federal Reserve Bank and the United States Treasury as collateral security; provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Loans or Note made by Borrower to or for the account of the assigning or pledging Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrower's obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Loans or Note to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the assigning Bank from its obligations hereunder. ARTICLE 10 MISCELLANEOUS 10.1 ADDRESSES.

2.3 Insurance; Application of Insurance Proceeds; Application of Eminent Domain Proceeds. 2.3.1 Trustor shall at its sole expense obtain for, deliver to, assign and maintain for the benefit of Beneficiary, during the term of this Deed of Trust, insurance policies insuring the Mortgaged Property (to the extent insurable) and liability insurance policies, all in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.14 of the Credit Agreement. Trustor shall pay promptly when due any premiums on such insurance policies and on any renewals thereof. In the event of the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or any other transfer of the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to all casualty insurance policies, and renewals thereof then in force, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee in connection therewith. 2.3.2 All Insurance Proceeds and Eminent Domain Proceeds shall be paid or shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents. 2.4 Assignment of Rents. Trustor unconditionally and absolutely assigns to Beneficiary all of Trustor's right, title and interest in and to: all leases, subleases, occupancy agreements, licenses, rental contracts and other similar agreements now or hereafter existing relating to the use or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property, together with all guarantees, modifications, extensions and renewals thereof (the "Leases"); and all rents, issues, profits, income and proceeds due or to become due from tenants of the Mortgaged Property, including rentals and all other payments of any kind under any leases now existing or hereafter entered into, together with all deposits (including security deposits) of tenants thereunder ("Rents"). This is an absolute assignment to Beneficiary and not an assignment as security for the performance of the obligations under the Credit Documents, or any other indebtedness. Subject to the provisions herein below, Beneficiary shall have the right, power and authority to: notify any person that the Leases have been assigned to Beneficiary and that all Rents and other obligations are to be paid directly to Beneficiary, whether or not Beneficiary has commenced or completed foreclosure or taken possession of the Mortgaged Property; settle compromise, release, extend the time of payment of, and make allowances, adjustments and discounts of any Rents or other obligations under the Leases; enforce payment of Rents and other rights under the Leases, prosecute any action or proceeding, and defend against any claim with respect to Rents and Leases; enter upon, take possession of and operate the Mortgaged Property; lease all or any part of the Mortgaged Property; perform any and all obligations of Trustor under the Leases and exercise any and all rights of Trustor therein contained to the full extent of Trustor's rights and obligations thereunder, with or without the bringing of any action or the appointment of a receiver; or while any Event of Default exists, exercise any or all remedies provided in Article 3 hereof, including the right to have a receiver appointed and any other rights and remedies under California Civil Code Section 2938; provided, however, that this assignment shall not impose upon Beneficiary any duty to produce Rents, nor shall it cause Beneficiary to be (i) a "mortgagee in possession" for any purpose; (ii) responsible for performing any obligations of the lessor, licensor or other counterparty under any Lease; or (iii) be responsible for waste committed by lessees or any other parties, for any dangerous or defective condition in the Mortgaged Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Mortgaged Property. At Beneficiary's request, Trustor shall deliver a copy of this Deed of Trust to each tenant under a Lease. Trustor irrevocably directs any tenant, without any requirement for notice to or consent by Trustor, to comply with all demands of Beneficiary under this Section 2.4 and to turn over to 6
EX-10.1.5142nd Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 142nd
Beneficiary on demand all Rents which it owes under a Lease. Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use and apply all Rents received hereunder in such order and such manner as Beneficiary may determine in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding that this is an absolute assignment of the Rents and Leases and not merely the collateral assignment of, or the grant of a lien or security interest in the Rents and Leases, Beneficiary grants to Trustor a revocable license to collect and receive the Rents and to retain, use and enjoy such Rents. Such license may be revoked by Beneficiary only upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, in which case Trustor shall immediately, without any further act or request on part of Beneficiary, turn over to Beneficiary all Rents which it receives. Trustor shall apply any Rents which it receives to the payment due under the Secured Obligations, taxes, assessments, water charges, sewer rents and other governmental charges levied, assessed or imposed against the Mortgaged Property, insurance premiums, and other obligations of lessor under the Leases before using such proceeds for any other purpose. 2.5 [Rejection of Surface and Geothermal Leases by Lessor. If the lessor under a Surface and Geothermal Lease rejects or disaffirms such Surface and Geothermal Lease or purports or seeks to disaffirm the Surface and Geothermal Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then: 2.5.1 To the extent permitted by law or Governmental Rule, Trustor shall remain in possession of the Real Property demised under such Surface and Geothermal Lease and shall perform all acts reasonably necessary for Trustor to remain in such possession for the unexpired term of such Surface and Geothermal Lease (including all renewals), whether the then existing terms and provisions of such Surface and Geothermal Lease require such acts or otherwise; and 2.5.2 All the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust and the lien created by this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect and shall extend automatically to all of Trustor's rights and remedies arising at any time under, or pursuant to, Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Law, including all of Trustor's rights to remain in possession of the Real Property.] 2.6 Indemnification. Trustor hereby indemnifies Beneficiary against, and holds harmless Beneficiary from, all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, causes of action, judgments, court costs, attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, costs of inspection and other expenses that either may suffer or incur: (i) by reason of this Deed of Trust; (ii) by reason of the execution of this trust or in performance of any act required or permitted hereunder or by a Governmental Rule, including the disclosure or non-disclosure of any facts relating to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, incidental to a judicial or non-judicial sale; or (iii) as a result of any failure of Trustor to perform its obligations. The above obligation of Trustor to indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary shall survive the release and cancellation of the Secured Obligations and the release and reconveyance or partial release and reconveyance of this Deed of Trust. 2.7 Beneficiary Assumes No Secured Obligations. It is expressly agreed that, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, except as may otherwise be provided in the Credit Documents, Trustor shall remain obligated under all agreements which are included in the definition of "Mortgaged Property" and shall perform all of its obligations thereunder in accordance with the provisions thereof, and neither Beneficiary nor any of the Banks shall have any obligation or liability with respect to such obligations of Trustor, nor shall Beneficiary or any of the Banks be 7
EX-10.1.5143rd Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 143rd
required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations or duties of Trustor under such agreements, or to make any payment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to present or file any claim or take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which have been assigned to Beneficiary hereunder or to which Beneficiary or the Banks may be entitled at any time or times. 2.8 Further Assurances. Trustor shall, from time to time, at its expense, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or that Trustee or Beneficiary may reasonably request, in order to perfect, continue and protect the lien and security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby and to enable Beneficiary to obtain the full benefits of the lien and security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby. Trustor shall keep the Mortgaged Property free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustor shall execute and record or file this Deed of Trust and each amendment hereto, and such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be necessary, or as Beneficiary or Trustee may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the lien and security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file one or more financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property necessary to preserve or protect the lien and security interest granted hereby without the signature of Trustor where permitted by law. 2.9 Acts of Trustor. Except as provided in or permitted by the Credit Documents, Trustor hereby represents and warrants that it has not mortgaged, hypothecated, assigned or pledged and hereby covenants that it will not mortgage, hypothecate, assign or pledge, so long as this Deed of Trust shall remain in effect, any of its right, title or interest in and to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, to anyone other than Beneficiary. 2.10 After-Acquired Property. Any and all of the Mortgaged Property which is hereafter acquired shall immediately, without any further conveyance, assignment or act on the part of Trustor or Beneficiary, become and be subject to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust as fully and completely as though specifically described herein, but nothing contained in this Section 2.10 shall be deemed to modify or change the obligations of Trustor under Section 2.8 hereof. If and whenever from time to time Trustor shall hereafter acquire any real property or interest therein which constitutes or is intended to constitute part of the Mortgaged Property hereunder, Trustor shall promptly give notice thereof to Beneficiary and Trustor shall forthwith execute, acknowledge and deliver to Beneficiary a supplement to this Deed of Trust in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary subjecting the property so acquired to the lien of this Deed of Trust. At the same time, if Beneficiary so requests, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary either (i) an endorsement to the lender's policy of title insurance issued to Beneficiary insuring the lien of this Deed of Trust, or (ii) a new lender's title policy (which shall include tie in coverage relating to the lender's policy described in (i), above), in each case which shall insure to Beneficiary in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary that the lien of this Deed of Trust as insured under such title insurance policy or policies encumbers such later acquired property and that Trustor's title to such property meets all of the applicable requirements of the Credit Documents with respect to title to Trustor's real property interests. 8

Trustor does hereby authorize and irrevocably appoint and constitute Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, in its name, place and stead, to take any and all actions deemed necessary or desirable by Beneficiary to perform and comply with all the obligations of Trustor under the Surface and Geothermal Leases, and to do and take upon the occurrence and during continuation of an Event of Default, but without any obligation so to do or take, any action which Beneficiary deems reasonably necessary to prevent or cure any default by Trustor under the Surface and Geothermal Leases, to enter into and upon the Real Property and Improvements or any part thereof as provided in the Credit Documents in order to prevent or cure any default of Trustor pursuant thereto, to the end that the rights of Trustor in and to the leasehold estates created by the Surface and Geothermal Leases shall be kept free from default.] 2.11.3 [Trustor shall not surrender its leasehold estates and interests under the Surface and Geothermal Leases or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Surface and Geothermal Leases or affirmatively waive any provisions thereof, either orally or in writing, except as permitted in the Credit Documents, and any attempt on the part of Trustor to do any of the foregoing without the written consent of Beneficiary shall be null and void.] 2.11.4 If any action or proceeding shall be instituted to evict Trustor or to recover possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein from Trustor or any action or proceeding otherwise affecting the Mortgaged Property or this Deed of Trust shall be instituted, then Trustor shall, immediately after receipt, deliver to Beneficiary a true and complete copy of each petition, summons, complaint, notice of motion, order to show cause and all other pleadings and papers, however designated, served in any such action or proceeding. 2.11.5 [Trustor covenants and agrees that the fee title to the Real Property and Improvements and the leasehold estates created under the Surface and Geothermal Leases shall not merge but shall always remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in Trustor or a third party by purchase or otherwise and, in case Trustor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in and to the Real Property and Improvements, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall, without further conveyance, simultaneously with such acquisition, be 9

spread to cover and attach to such acquired estate and as so spread and attached shall be prior to the lien of any mortgage placed on the acquired estate after the date of this Deed of Trust.] 2.11.6 [No release or forbearance of any of Trustor's obligations under the Surface and Geothermal Leases by the lessor thereunder, shall release Trustor from any of its obligations under this Deed of Trust.] 2.11.7 [Trustor shall, within ten (10) days after written demand from Beneficiary, deliver to Beneficiary proof of payment of all items that are required to be paid by Trustor under the Surface and Geothermal Leases, including rent, taxes, operating expenses and other charges.] 2.11.8 The lien of this Deed of Trust shall attach to all of Trustor's rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Law, including all of Trustor's rights to remain in possession of the Mortgaged Property. [Trustor shall not elect to treat any of the Surface and Geothermal Leases as terminated under section 365(h)(l) of the Bankruptcy Law, and any such election shall be void.] 2.11.8.1 [If pursuant to section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Law, Trustor shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in any of the Surface and Geothermal Leases the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the lessor or any other party of any of their respective obligations thereunder after the rejection by the lessor or such other party of such Surface and Geothermal Lease under the Bankruptcy Law, then Trustor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Beneficiary of its intent to do so, setting forth the amount proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. Beneficiary shall have the right to object to all or any part of such offset that, in the reasonable judgment of Beneficiary, would constitute a breach of such Surface and Geothermal Lease, and in the event of such objection, Trustor shall not effect any offset of the amounts found objectionable by Beneficiary. Neither Beneficiary's failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Beneficiary.] 2.11.8.2 [If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of the lessor under any of the Surface and Geothermal Leases or any other party or in respect of such Surface and Geothermal Leases in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Law, then Beneficiary shall have the option to intervene in any such litigation with counsel of Beneficiary's choice. Beneficiary may proceed in its own name in connection with any such litigation, and Trustor agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents or other documents required by Beneficiary in connection therewith.] 2.11.8.3 Trustor shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify Beneficiary of any filing by or against the lessor or other party with an interest in the Mortgaged Property of a petition under the Bankruptcy Law. Trustor shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary, following receipt, copies of any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Trustor in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto. 2.11.8.4 [If there shall be filed by or against Trustor a petition under the Bankruptcy Law, and Trustor, as lessee under the Surface and Geothermal Leases, shall 10

Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Trustor at any time prior to the date on which Trustor shall so apply to the bankruptcy court a notice stating that Beneficiary demands that Trustor assume and assign such Surface and Geothermal Lease to Beneficiary pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Law. If Beneficiary shall serve upon Trustor the notice described in the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted by law or Governmental Rule Trustor shall not seek to reject such Surface and Geothermal Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in the preceding sentence. In addition, effective upon the entry of an order for relief with respect to Trustor under the Bankruptcy Law, Trustor hereby assigns and transfers to Beneficiary a non-exclusive right to apply to the bankruptcy court under section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Law for an order extending the period during which such Surface and Geothermal Lease may be rejected or assumed; and shall (a) promptly notify Beneficiary of any default by Trustor in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Trustor to be performed or observed under such Surface and Geothermal Lease and of the giving of any written notice by the lessor thereunder to Trustor of any such default, and (b) promptly cause a copy of each written notice given to Trustor by the lessor under such Surface and Geothermal Lease to be delivered to Beneficiary. Beneficiary may rely on any notice received by it from any such lessor of any default by Trustor under such Surface and Geothermal Lease and may take such action as may be permitted by law or Governmental Rule to cure such default even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof shall be questioned or denied by Trustor or by any Person on its behalf.] 2.11.9 Trustor shall cause the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in accordance with Prudent Utility Practices and will not commit or suffer to be committed any waste of the Mortgaged Property. Except in accordance with the Credit Documents, the Real Property shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Equipment), without the consent of Beneficiary. Trustor will not, without obtaining the prior consent of Beneficiary, initiate, join in or consent to any private restrictive covenant, zoning ordinance, or other public or private restrictions, limiting or affecting the uses which may be made of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. 2.11.10 No part of the Mortgaged Property shall in any manner be further encumbered (other than with Permitted Liens), sold, transferred, assigned or conveyed, or permitted to be further encumbered, sold, transferred, assigned or conveyed, except in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, without the prior consent of Beneficiary, which consent in any and all circumstances may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Beneficiary. The provisions of the foregoing sentence of this paragraph shall apply to each and every such further encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance, regardless of whether or not Beneficiary has consented to, or waived by its action or inaction its rights hereunder with respect to, any such previous further encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance, and, irrespective of whether such further encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance is voluntary, by reason of operation of law or is otherwise made. 11

2.12 Power of Attorney. Trustor does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Beneficiary, its true and lawful attorney (which appointment is coupled with an interest), with full power of substitution, for Trustor and in the name, place and stead of Trustor or in Beneficiary's own name, for so long as any of the Secured Obligations are outstanding, to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for and sue for any and all rents, income and other sums which are assigned hereunder with full power to endorse the name of Trustor on all instruments given in payment or in part payment thereof, to settle, adjust or compromise any claims thereunder as fully as Trustor itself could do and in its discretion file any claim or take any action or proceeding, either in its own name or in the name of Trustor or otherwise, which Beneficiary may deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of Beneficiary in and to such rents, income and other sums and the security intended to be afforded hereby; provided that Beneficiary shall not exercise such rights unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 2.13 Covenant to Pay. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such Event of Default could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Beneficiary's interest hereunder in the Mortgaged Property or result in personal injury, then Beneficiary, among its other rights and remedies, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay, observe or perform the same, in whole or in part, and with such modifications as Beneficiary reasonably shall deem advisable. To the extent provided in the Credit Documents, all sums, including reasonable attorneys' fees, so expended or incurred by Beneficiary by reason of the default of Trustor, or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Trustor, as well as, without limitation, sums expended or incurred to sustain the lien or estate of this Deed of Trust or its priority, or to protect or enforce any rights of Beneficiary hereunder, or to recover any of the Secured Obligations, or to complete construction of the Project for which the Credit Documents are intended as financing, or for repairs, maintenance, alterations, replacements or improvements thereto or for the protection thereof, or for real estate taxes or other governmental assessments or charges against any part of the Mortgaged Property, or premiums for insurance of the Mortgaged Property, shall be entitled to the benefit of the lien on the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the recording of this Deed of Trust, shall be deemed to be added to and be part of the Secured Obligations secured hereby, and shall be repaid by Trustor as provided in the Credit Documents. 2.14 Security Agreement. 2.14.1 This Deed of Trust shall also be a security agreement between Trustor and Beneficiary covering the Mortgaged Property constituting personal property or fixtures (hereinafter collectively called "UCC Collateral") governed by the California Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") as the same may be more specifically set forth in any financing statement delivered in connection with this Deed of Trust, and as further security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, Trustor hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in such portion of the Mortgaged Property to the full extent that the Mortgaged Property may be subject to the UCC. In addition to Beneficiary's other rights hereunder, Beneficiary shall have all rights of a secured party under the UCC. Trustor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary all financing statements and such further assurances that may be reasonably required by Beneficiary to establish, create, perfect (to the extent the same can be achieved by the filing of a financing statement) and maintain the validity and priority of Beneficiary's security interests, and Trustor shall bear all reasonable costs thereof, including all UCC searches. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents, if Beneficiary should dispose of any of the 12
EX-10.1.5148th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 148th
Mortgaged Property comprising the UCC Collateral pursuant to the UCC, ten (10) days' prior written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor shall be deemed to be reasonable notice; provided, however, Beneficiary may dispose of such property in accordance with the foreclosure procedures of this Deed of Trust in lieu of proceeding under the UCC. Beneficiary may from time to time execute and deliver at Trustor's expense, all continuation statements, termination statements, amendments, partial releases, or other instruments relating to all financing statements by and between Trustor and Beneficiary. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents, if an Event of Default shall occur and is continuing, (a) Beneficiary, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, may exercise immediately and without demand to the extent permitted by law, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party under the UCC including the right to take possession of the UCC Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of such collateral and (b) upon request or demand of Beneficiary, Trustor shall at its expense, assemble the UCC Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary. Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand, any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred or paid by Beneficiary in protecting the interest in the UCC Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to such UCC Collateral. 2.14.2 Trustor and the Beneficiary agree, to the extent permitted by law, that: (i) this Deed of Trust upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office shall constitute a financing statement filed as a "fixture filing" within the meaning of Sections 9334 and 9502 of the UCC; (ii) all or a part of the Mortgaged Property are or are to become fixtures; and (iii) the addresses of Trustor and Beneficiary are as set forth in the preamble of this Deed of Trust. ARTICLE 3. REMEDIES 3.1 Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Beneficiary may, at the election of the Majority Banks (except that such acceleration shall be automatic if the Event of Default is occuring under Section 7.1.2 of the Credit Agreement), declare the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration such principal and interest and other sums shall immediately become due and payable without demand, presentment, notice or other requirements of any kind (all of which Trustor waives). 3.2 Due-On Clause. If (a) the Mortgaged Property is assigned in violation of Section 6.3 of the Credit Agreement, or (b) there is a change of control in violation of Section 7.1.11 of the Credit Agreement, then Beneficiary may, at the election of the Majority Banks, declare the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration such principal and interest and other sums shall immediately become due and payable without demand, presentment, notice or other requirements of any kind (all of which Trustor waives). Beneficiary's consent to any assignment or change of control shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Beneficiary's right to require its consent to any future assignment or change of control in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. 13

3.3 Protective Advances. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, then without thereby limiting Beneficiary's other rights or remedies, waiving or releasing any of Trustor's obligations, or imposing any obligation on Beneficiary, Beneficiary may, at the election of the Majority Banks, either advance any amount owing or perform any or all actions that Beneficiary considers necessary or appropriate to cure such default. No sums advanced or performance rendered by Beneficiary shall cure, or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default. 3.4 Institution of Equity Proceedings. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Beneficiary may, at the election of the Majority Banks, institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for specific performance of this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, all of which shall be specifically enforceable by injunction or other equitable remedy. 3.5 Beneficiary's Power of Enforcement. 3.5.1 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Beneficiary, at the election of the Majority Banks, shall be entitled to prepare and record on its own behalf, or to deliver to Trustee for recording, if appropriate, written declaration of default and demand for sale and written notice of breach and election to sell (or other statutory notice) to cause the Mortgaged Property to be sold to satisfy the obligations hereof, and in the case of delivery to Trustee, Trustee shall cause said notice to be filed for record. 3.5.2 After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said notice of breach and election to sell, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee without demand on Trustor, may sell the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof at the time and place fixed by it in said notice, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder, of cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee may, for any cause it deems expedient, postpone the sale of all or any portion of said property until it shall be completed and, in every case, notice of postponement shall be given by public announcement thereof at the time and place last appointed for the sale and from time to time thereafter Trustee may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement; provided that Trustee shall give Trustor notice of such postponement to the extent required by law. Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser its deed, bill of sale, or other instrument conveying said property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such instrument of conveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Beneficiary, may bid at the sale. 3.5.3 If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Beneficiary may, at the election of the Majority Banks, to the extent permitted by law, either with or without entry or taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, and without regard to whether or not the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby shall be due and without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to bring an action or proceeding to foreclose or any other action for any other Event of Default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced, proceed by any appropriate action or proceeding: (1) to enforce payment of the Secured Obligations, to the extent permitted by law, or the performance of any term hereof or any other right; (2) to foreclose this Deed of Trust in any manner provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages or 14
EX-10.1.5150th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 150th
deeds of trust on real property and to sell, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof pursuant to the laws of the State of California or under the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, and Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in any such proceeding all costs and expenses incident thereto, including reasonable attorneys' fees in such amount as shall be awarded by the court; (3) to exercise any or all of the rights and remedies available to it under the Credit Documents; and (4) to pursue any other remedy available to it. Beneficiary shall take action either by such proceedings or by the exercise of its powers with respect to entry or taking possession, or both, as Beneficiary may determine. 3.5.4 The remedies described in this Section 3.5 may be exercised with respect to all or any portion of the UCC Collateral, either simultaneously with the sale of any real property encumbered hereby or independent thereof. Beneficiary shall at any time be permitted to proceed with respect to all or any portion of the UCC Collateral in any manner permitted by the UCC. Trustor agrees that Beneficiary's inclusion of all or any portion of the UCC Collateral in a sale or other remedy exercised with respect to the real property encumbered hereby, as permitted by the UCC, is a commercially reasonable disposition of such property. 3.5.5 Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real property and personal property, any reinstatement of the Secured Obligations, following the occurrence of an Event of Default and an election by the Beneficiary, at the direction of the Required Banks, to accelerate the maturity of the Secured Obligations, which is made by Trustor or any other person or entity permitted to exercise the right of reinstatement under Section 2924c of the California Civil Code or any successor statute, shall, in accordance with the terms of UCC Section 9604, not prohibit the Beneficiary from conducting a sale or other disposition of any personal property or from otherwise proceeding against or continuing to proceed against any personal property in any manner permitted by the UCC; nor shall any such reinstatement invalidate, rescind or otherwise affect any sale, disposition or other proceeding held, conducted or instituted with respect to any personal property prior to such reinstatement. Any sums paid to Beneficiary, in effecting any reinstatement pursuant to Section 2924c of the California Civil Code shall be applied to the Secured Obligations and to Beneficiary's and Trustee's reasonable costs and expenses in the manner required by Section 2924c. 3.6 Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply Income. 3.6.1 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Trustor, upon demand of Beneficiary, at the election of the Majority Banks, shall forthwith surrender to Beneficiary the actual possession and, if and to the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all of the Mortgaged Property, including the Tangible Collateral, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and may exclude Trustor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom and may have joint access with Trustor to the books, papers and accounts of Trustor. 3.6.2 If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Trustor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof after Beneficiary's demand, Beneficiary may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on Beneficiary or Trustee the right to immediate possession or requiring Trustor to deliver immediate possession 15
EX-10.1.5151st Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 151st
of all or part of such property to Beneficiary or Trustee and Trustor hereby specifically consents to the entry of such judgment or decree. Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary or Trustee, upon demand, all costs and expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree and reasonable compensation to Beneficiary or Trustee, their attorneys and agents, and all such costs, expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust. 3.6.3 Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Beneficiary or Trustee may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereof, and, from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion and without being under any duty to so act: 3.6.3.1 make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals and replacements thereto and thereon, and all necessary additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire fixtures, personalty and other property in connection therewith; 3.6.3.2 insure or keep the Mortgaged Property insured; 3.6.3.3 manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Trustor in their name or otherwise with respect to the same; 3.6.3.4 enter into agreements with others to exercise the powers herein granted Beneficiary or Trustee, all as Beneficiary or Trustee from time to time may determine; and shall apply the monies so received by Beneficiary or Trustee in such priority as provided by the Credit Documents to (i) the payment of interest and principal due and payable to the Beneficiary, (ii) the deposits for taxes and assessments and insurance premiums due, (iii) the cost of insurance, taxes, assessments and other proper charges upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, (iv) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, attorneys and other representatives of Beneficiary or Trustee as allowed under this Deed of Trust, and (v) any other charges or costs required to be paid by Trustor under the terms of the Credit Documents; or 3.6.3.5 rent or sublet the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof for any purpose permitted by this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary or Trustee shall surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Trustor (x) as may be required by law or court order, or (y) when all amounts under any of the terms of the Credit Documents, including this Deed of Trust, shall have been paid current and all Events of Default have been cured or waived. The same right of taking possession, however, shall exist if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing. 3.7 Separate Sales. To the extent permitted by law or Governmental Rule, the Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Trustee, in his sole discretion, may elect, it being expressly understood and agreed that the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales. 3.8 Waiver of Appraisement, Moratorium, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws. Trustor agrees to the full extent permitted by law that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, neither Trustor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set 16
EX-10.1.5152nd Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 152nd
up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, moratorium, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the absolute sale of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and Trustor for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprising the Mortgaged Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that Trustee or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Mortgaged Property in part or as an entirety. 3.9 Receiver. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, and without regard to the value, adequacy or occupancy of the security for the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, shall be entitled as a matter of right if it so elects to the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and to collect all earnings, revenues and receipts and apply the same as the court may direct, and such receiver may be appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction upon application by Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by law or Governmental Rule, Beneficiary may have a receiver appointed without notice to Trustor or any third party, and Beneficiary may waive any requirement that the receiver post a bond. To the extent permitted by law or Governmental Rule, Beneficiary shall have the power to designate and select the Person who shall serve as the receiver and to negotiate all terms and conditions under which such receiver shall serve. To the extent permitted by law or Governmental Rule, any receiver appointed on Beneficiary's behalf may be an Affiliate of Beneficiary. The reasonable expenses, including receiver's fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and agents' compensation, incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. The right to enter and take possession of and to manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and to collect all earnings, revenues and receipts, whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy available to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, the other Credit Documents or otherwise available to Beneficiary and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof, but such rights shall be exercised in a manner which is otherwise in accordance with and consistent with the Credit Documents. Beneficiary shall be liable to account only for such earnings, revenues and receipts (including security deposits) actually received by Beneficiary, whether received pursuant to this section or any other provision hereof. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Beneficiary shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits, or instruments at the time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Deed of Trust to, Beneficiary. 3.10 Suits to Protect the Mortgaged Property. Beneficiary shall have the power and authority to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as Beneficiary, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem advisable (a) to prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Deed of Trust, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property, or (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other Legal Requirement that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to Beneficiary's interest. 3.11 Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, Bankruptcy Event, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceedings affecting 17
EX-10.1.5153rd Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 153rd
Trustor, any Affiliate or any guarantor, co-maker or endorser of any of Trustor's obligations, its creditors or its property, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim or other documents as it may deem be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Trustor under the Credit Documents, at the date of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by Trustor after such date. 3.12 Trustor to Pay Amounts Secured Hereby on Any Default in Payment; Application of Monies by Beneficiary. 3.12.1 In case of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and of the application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the sums secured hereby, to the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary shall be entitled to enforce payment from Trustor of any additional amounts then remaining due and unpaid and to recover judgment against Trustor for any portion thereof remaining unpaid, with interest at the interest rate on the Notes. The sale of a part of the Subject Property shall not exhaust the power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time until the Secured Obligations are paid and performed in full. 3.12.2 Trustor hereby agrees to the extent permitted by law, that no recovery of any such judgment by Beneficiary or other action by Beneficiary and no attachment or levy of any execution upon any of the Mortgaged Property or any other property shall in any way affect the Lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any Lien, rights, powers or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such Lien, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before. 3.12.3 The provisions of this Section 3.12 shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise modify the provisions of any guaranty of the Secured Obligations. 3.13 Delay or Omission; No Waiver. No delay or omission of Beneficiary or the Banks to exercise any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to waive any such Event of Default or to constitute acquiescence therein. Every right, power and remedy given to Beneficiary whether contained herein or in the other Credit Documents or otherwise available to Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Beneficiary. 3.14 No Waiver of One Default to Affect Another. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder shall extend to or affect any subsequent or any other Event of Default then existing, or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent thereon. If Beneficiary (a) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (b) takes other or additional security for the payment thereof; (c) waives or does not exercise any right granted in this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document; (d) releases any part of the Mortgaged Property from the lien or security interest of this Deed of Trust or any other instrument securing the Secured Obligations; (e) consents to the filing of any map, plat or replat of the Real Property or any part thereof; (f) consents to the granting of any easement on the Real Property; or (g) makes or consents to any agreement changing the terms of this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document subordinating the lien or any charge hereof, no such act or omission shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the liability under this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document or otherwise of Trustor, or any 18
EX-10.1.5154th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 154th
subsequent purchaser of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any maker, co-signer, surety or guarantor with respect to any other matters not addressed by such act or omission. No such act or omission shall preclude Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in case of any Event of Default then existing or of any subsequent Event of Default, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Beneficiary, shall the lien or security interest of this Deed of Trust be altered thereby, except to the extent expressly provided in such acts or omissions. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, Beneficiary, without notice to any person, firm or corporation, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Mortgaged Property or the indebtedness secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms or conditions hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any of the liabilities or undertakings hereunder, or waiving its right to declare such sale or transfer an Event of Default as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document, (i) in the case of any non-monetary Event of Default, Beneficiary may continue to accept payments due hereunder without thereby waiving the existence of such or any other Event of Default and (ii) in the case of any monetary Event of Default, Beneficiary may accept partial payments of any sums due hereunder without thereby waiving the existence of such Event of Default if the partial payment is not sufficient to completely cure such Event of Default. 3.15 Discontinuance of Proceedings; Position of Parties Restored. If Beneficiary shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Deed of Trust by foreclosure, entry of judgment or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or such proceedings shall have resulted in a final determination adverse to Beneficiary, then and in every such case Trustor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Beneficiary shall continue as if no such proceedings had occurred or had been taken. 3.16 Remedies Cumulative. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.14 hereof, no right, power or remedy, including remedies with respect to any security for the Secured Obligations, conferred upon or reserved to Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or under any other Credit Document, now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and Beneficiary shall be entitled to resort to such rights, powers, remedies or security as Beneficiary shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem advisable. 3.17 Interest After Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, all sums outstanding and unpaid under the Credit Documents, including this Deed of Trust, shall, at Beneficiary's option, bear interest at the interest rate on the Note until such Event of Default has been cured. Trustor's obligation to pay such interest shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. 3.18 Foreclosure; Expenses of Litigation. If Trustee forecloses, reasonable attorneys' fees for services in the supervision of said foreclosure proceeding shall be allowed to the Trustee and Beneficiary as part of the foreclosure costs. In the event of foreclosure of the lien hereof, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness all reasonable expenditures and expenses 19
EX-10.1.5155th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 155th
which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Beneficiary for attorneys' fees, appraisers' fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after foreclosure sale or entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies and guarantees, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Beneficiary may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to a bidder at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or the value of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof. All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this section mentioned, and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Mortgaged Property and the maintenance of the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust, including the reasonable fees of any attorney employed by Beneficiary in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document, the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, including civil, probate, appellate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable by Trustor, with interest thereon at the interest rate on the Note, and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. Trustee waives its right to any statutory fee in connection with any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees to accept a reasonable fee for such services. 3.19 Deficiency Judgments. Subject to Article 8 of the Credit Agreement, if after foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or Trustee's sale hereunder, there shall remain any deficiency with respect to any amounts payable under the Credit Documents, including hereunder, or any amounts secured hereby, and Beneficiary shall institute any proceedings to recover such deficiency or deficiencies, all such amounts shall continue to bear interest at the interest rate on the Notes. Subject to Article 8 of the Credit Agreement, Trustor waives any defense to Beneficiary's recovery against Trustor of any deficiency after any foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property. Subject to Article 8 of the Credit Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, Trustor expressly waives any defense or benefits that may be derived from any statute granting Trustor any defense to any such recovery by Beneficiary. Subject to Article 8 of the Credit Agreement, in addition, Beneficiary and Trustee shall be entitled to recovery of all of their reasonable costs and expenditures (including any court imposed costs) in connection with such proceedings, including their reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisal fees and the other costs, fees and expenditures referred to in Section 3.18 above. This provision shall survive any foreclosure or sale of the Mortgaged Property, any portion thereof or the extinguishment of the lien hereof. 3.20 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BENEFICIARY AND TRUSTOR EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS DEED OF TRUST, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT. ANY SUCH DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED IN A BENCH TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. 3.21 Exculpation of Beneficiary. The acceptance by Beneficiary of the assignment contained herein with all of the rights, powers, privileges and authority created hereby shall not, prior to entry upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property by Beneficiary, be deemed or construed to make Beneficiary a "mortgagee in possession"; nor thereafter or at any time or in any 20

event obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Mortgaged Property, nor shall Beneficiary, prior to such entry and taking, be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any Person in or about the Mortgaged Property. ARTICLE 4. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE; OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRUSTEE Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deed of Trust, Trustor and Beneficiary agree as follows: 4.1 Exercise of Remedies by Trustee. To the extent that this Deed of Trust and applicable law authorizes or empowers Beneficiary to exercise any remedies set forth in Article 3 hereof or otherwise, or perform any acts in connection therewith, Trustee (but not to the exclusion of Beneficiary unless so required under the law of the State of California) shall have the power to exercise any or all such remedies, and to perform any acts provided for in this Deed of Trust in connection therewith, all for the benefit of Beneficiary and on Beneficiary's behalf in accordance with applicable law of the State of California. In connection therewith, Trustee: (a) shall not exercise, or waive the exercise of, any Beneficiary's remedies (other than any rights of Trustee to any indemnity or reimbursement), except at Beneficiary's request, and (b) shall exercise, or waive the exercise of, any or all of Beneficiary's remedies at Beneficiary's request, and in accordance with Beneficiary's directions as to the manner of such exercise or waiver. Trustee may, however, decline to follow Beneficiary's request or direction if Trustee shall be advised by counsel that the action or proceeding, or manner thereof, so directed may not lawfully be taken or waived. 4.2 Rights and Privileges of Trustee. To the extent that this Deed of Trust requires Trustor to indemnify Beneficiary or reimburse Beneficiary for any expenditures Beneficiary may incur, Trustee shall be entitled to the same indemnity and the same rights to reimbursement of expenses as Beneficiary, subject to such limitations and conditions as would apply in the case of Beneficiary. To the extent that this Deed of Trust negates or limits Beneficiary's liability as to any matter, Trustee shall be entitled to the same negation or limitation of liability. To the extent that Trustor, pursuant to this Deed of Trust, appoints Beneficiary as Trustor's attorney in fact for any purpose, Beneficiary or (when so instructed by Beneficiary) Trustee shall be entitled to act on Trustor's behalf without joinder or confirmation by the other. 4.3 Resignation or Replacement of Trustee. Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to Beneficiary, and Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause (i.e., in Beneficiary's sole and absolute discretion) by an instrument in writing executed by Beneficiary. In case of the death, resignation, removal or disqualification of Trustee or if for any reason Beneficiary shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute, successor or replacement Trustee to act instead of Trustee originally named (or in place of any substitute, successor or replacement Trustee), then Beneficiary shall have the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, and, if preferred, several substitute trustees in succession, without any formality other than appointment and designation in writing executed by Beneficiary, which instrument shall be recorded if required by the law of the State of California. The law of the State of California shall govern the qualifications of any Trustee. The authority conferred upon Trustee by this Deed of Trust shall automatically extend to any and all other 21
EX-10.1.5157th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 157th
successor, substitute and replacement Trustee(s) successively until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full or the Mortgaged Property has been sold hereunder or released in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents. Beneficiary's written appointment and designation of any Trustee shall be full evidence of Beneficiary's right and authority to make the same and of all facts therein recited. No confirmation, authorization, approval or other action by Trustor shall be required in connection with any resignation or other replacement of Trustee. 4.4 Authority of Beneficiary. If Beneficiary is a banking corporation, state banking corporation or a national banking association and the instrument of appointment of any successor or replacement Trustee is executed on Beneficiary's behalf by an officer of such corporation, state banking corporation or national banking association, then such appointment may be executed by any authorized officer or agent of Beneficiary and such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of Beneficiary. 4.5 Effect of Appointment of Successor Trustee. Upon the appointment and designation of any successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, Trustee's entire estate and title in the Mortgaged Property shall vest in the designated successor, substitute or replacement Trustee. Such successor, substitute or replacement Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and shall hold, possess and execute all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee. All references herein to Trustee shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including any successor or substitute appointed and designated as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder. 4.6 Confirmation of Transfer and Succession. Any new Trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Beneficiary or of any successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, any former Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor, substitute or replacement Trustee all of the right, title, estate and interest in the Mortgaged Property of Trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all properties and monies held by said Trustee hereunder to said successor, substitute or replacement Trustee. 4.7 Exculpation. Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or otherwise be responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee's gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of law. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by it, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted it, upon the Mortgaged Property for debts contracted or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Mortgaged Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by it hereunder, believed by it in good faith to be genuine. All monies received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other monies (except to the extent required by law). Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any monies received by it hereunder. 22

4.8 Endorsement and Execution of Documents. Upon Beneficiary's written request, Trustee shall, without liability or notice to Trustor, execute, consent to, or join in any instrument or agreement in connection with or necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Credit Documents. Trustor hereby irrevocably designates Trustee as its attorney in fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver, on Trustor's behalf and in Trustor's name, all instruments or agreements necessary to implement any provision(s) of this Deed of Trust or to further perfect the lien created by this Deed of Trust on the Mortgaged Property. This power of attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall survive any disability of Trustor. 4.9 Multiple Trustees. If Beneficiary appoints multiple trustees, then any Trustee, individually, may exercise all powers granted to Trustee under this instrument, without the need for action by any other Trustee(s). 4.10 No Required Action. Trustee shall not be required to take any action under this Deed of Trust or to institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in connection therewith where in its opinion such action will be likely to involve it in expense or liability, unless requested so to do by a written instrument signed by Beneficiary and, if Trustee so requests, unless Trustee is tendered security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any and all costs, expense and liabilities arising therefrom. Trustee shall not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgment or validity of the Credit Documents, or for the proper authorization thereof, or for the sufficiency of the lien and security interest purported to be created hereby, and makes no representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights, remedies and recourses of Beneficiary. 4.11 Terms of Trustee's Acceptance. Trustee accepts the trust created by this Deed of Trust upon the following terms and conditions: (a) Trustee may exercise any of its powers through appointment of attorney(s) in fact or agents. (b) Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any action upon any Event of Default unless furnished security or indemnity, in form satisfactory to Trustee, against costs, expenses, and liabilities that Trustee may incur. (c) Trustor shall reimburse Trustee, as part of the Secured Obligations secured hereunder, for all reasonable disbursements and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by reason of or arising from an Event of Default and as provided for in this Deed of Trust, including any of the foregoing incurred in Trustee's administering and executing the trust created by this Deed of Trust and performing Trustee's duties and exercising Trustee's powers under this Deed of Trust. ARTICLE 5. GENERAL 5.1 Discharge. When all of the Secured Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, then this Deed of Trust and the lien and security interest created hereby shall be of no further force and effect, Trustor shall be released from the covenants, agreements and obligations of Trustor contained in this Deed of Trust and a11 right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property shall revert to Trustor. Beneficiary and Trustee, at the request and the expense of Trustor, 23
EX-10.1.5159th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 159th
shall promptly execute a deed of reconveyance and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by Trustor to evidence the discharge and satisfaction of this Deed of Trust and the release of Trustor from its obligations hereunder. 5.2 No Waiver. The exercise of the privileges granted in this Deed of Trust or in any other agreement to perform Trustor's obligations under the agreements which constitute the Mortgaged Property shall in no event be considered or constitute a waiver of any right which Beneficiary may have at any time, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to declare the Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable. No delay or omission to exercise any right, remedy or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence therein; and every such right, remedy and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. 5.3 Extension, Rearrangement or Renewal of Secured Obligations. It is expressly agreed that any of the Secured Obligations at any time secured hereby may be from time to time extended for any period, or with the consent of Trustor rearranged or renewed, and that any part of the security herein described, or any other security for the Secured Obligations, may be waived or released, without altering, varying or diminishing the force, effect or lien or security interest of this Deed of Trust; and the lien and security interest granted by this Deed of Trust shall continue as a prior lien and security interest on all of the Mortgaged Property not expressly so released, until the Secured Obligations are fully paid and this Deed of Trust is terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof; and no other security now existing or hereafter taken to secure the payment of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof or the performance of any obligation or liability of Trustor whatever shall in any manner impair or affect the security given by this Deed of Trust; and all security for the payment of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof and the performance of any obligation or liability shall be taken, considered and held as cumulative. 5.4 Forcible Detainer. Trustor agrees for itself and all Persons claiming by, through or under it, that subsequent to foreclosure hereunder in accordance with this Deed of Trust and applicable law if Trustor shall hold possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, Trustor or the Persons so holding possession shall be guilty of trespass; and any such Person (including Trustor) failing or refusing to surrender possession upon demand shall be guilty of forcible detainer and shall be liable to Beneficiary or any purchaser in foreclosure, as applicable, for reasonable rental on said premises, and shall be subject to eviction and removal in accordance with law. 5.5 Waiver of Stay or Extension. To the extent permitted to be waived by law, Trustor shall not at any time insist upon or plead or in any manner whatever claim the benefit or advantage of any stay, extension or moratorium law now or at any time hereafter in force in any locality where the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof may or shall be situated, nor shall Trustor claim any benefit or advantage from any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof prior to any sale thereof to be made pursuant to any provision of this Deed of Trust or to a decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, nor after any such sale shall Trustor claim or exercise any right conferred by any law now or at any time hereafter in force to redeem the Mortgaged Property so sold or any part thereof; and Trustor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws and the appraisement of 24
EX-10.1.5160th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 160th
the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and covenants that Trustor shall not hinder or delay the execution of any power herein granted and delegated to Beneficiary but that Trustor shall permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been made. 5.6 Notices. Except where certified or registered mail notice is required by applicable law, any notice to Trustor or Beneficiary required or permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be given when given in the manner prescribed in Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.

A11 rights, powers and remedies provided herein may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable law, and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Deed of Trust invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under any applicable law. In the event any term or provision contained in this Deed of Trust is in conflict, or may hereafter be held to be in conflict, with the laws of the State of California or of the United States of America, this Deed of Trust shall be affected only as to such particular term or provision, and shall in all other respects remain in full force and effect. 5.8 Application of Payments. In the event that any part of the Secured Obligations cannot lawfully be secured hereby, or in the event that the lien and security interest hereof cannot be lawfully enforced to pay any part of the Secured Obligations, or in the event that the lien or security interest created by this Deed of Trust shall be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Secured Obligations, then all payments on the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to have been first applied to the complete payment and liquidation of that part of the Secured Obligations which is not secured by this Deed of Trust and the unsecured portion of the Secured Obligations shall be completely paid and liquidated prior to the payment and liquidation of the remaining secured portion of the Secured Obligations. 5.9 Governing Law. THIS DEED OF TRUST IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. 5.10 Entire Agreement.

AS OF THE DATE HEREOF, THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. ---------------------------- ---------------------------- TRUSTOR BENEFICIARY 5.11 Amendments. This Deed of Trust may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified only by an instrument in writing signed by Trustor and Beneficiary. 5.12 Successors and Assigns. All terms of this Deed of Trust shall run with the land and bind each of Trustor and Beneficiary and their respective successors and assigns, and all Persons claiming under or through Trustor or Beneficiary, as the case may be, or any such successor or assign, and shall inure to the benefit of Beneficiary and Trustor, and their respective successors and assigns. 5.13 Renewal, Etc. Beneficiary may at any time and from time to time renew or extend this Deed of Trust, or alter or modify the same in any way, or waive any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof in whole or in part and may release any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any other security, and grant such extensions and indulgences in relation to the Secured Obligations as Beneficiary may determine, without the consent of any junior lienor or encumbrancer and without any obligation to give notice of any kind thereto and without in any manner affecting the priority of the lien and security interest hereof on any part of the Mortgaged Property; provided that nothing in this Section 5.13 shall grant Beneficiary the right to alter or modify the Deed of Trust without the consent of the Trustor unless otherwise specifically permitted in this Deed of Trust. 5.14 Liability. Notwithstanding any provision in this Deed of Trust to the contrary, recourse against the Trustor and its Affiliates, stockholders, officers, members, directors and employees under this Deed of Trust shall be limited to the extent provided in Article 8 of the Credit Agreement. 5.15 Severability. The Credit Documents are intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable Governmental Rules and Legal Requirements. If any provision of any of the Credit Documents or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remainder of the instrument in which such provision is contained, nor the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances, nor the other instruments referred to hereinabove, shall be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by law. 5.16 Waiver. To the extent permitted by law, Trustor waives and releases any rights or defenses which Trustor might otherwise have (i) under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 726, 725a, 580a, 580b, 580c and 580d and California Civil Code Section 2889, which statutes might otherwise limit or condition Beneficiary's exercise of certain of Beneficiary's rights and remedies in connection with the enforcement of obligations secured by a lien on real property or (ii) under any laws now existing or hereafter enacted providing for any appraisal before sale of a portion of the Mortgaged Property and (iii) to all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisal, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or to declare due the Secured Obligations and marshalling in the event 26
EX-10.1.5162nd Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 162nd
of the foreclosure of the liens created under this Deed of Trust or the exercise of the power of sale granted hereunder. To the extent, if any, which such laws may be applicable and to the extent permitted by law, Trustor waives and releases any right or defense which Trustor might otherwise have under such provisions and under any other law of any applicable jurisdiction which might limit or restrict the effectiveness or scope of any of Trustor's waivers or releases hereunder. 5.17 Additional Waivers. To the extent that Trustor is considered the guarantor of any obligations of any party under the Credit Documents (other than Trustor) or its successors and assigns (the "Counterparty"), then Trustor, to the extent permitted under applicable law, hereby waives the following: (a) any and all benefits, rights and defenses it may have to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Trustor by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive; (b) any and all benefits, rights and defenses it may have because the Counterparty's debt may be secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) Beneficiary may collect from Trustor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Counterparty, (ii) if Beneficiary forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Counterparty, then (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) Beneficiary may collect from Trustor even if Beneficiary, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Trustor may have to collect from the Counterparty. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Trustor may have because the Counterparty's debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure; and (c) any and all benefits, rights and defenses it may have arising out of an election of remedies by Beneficiary, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Trustor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. 5.18 Release of Collateral. 5.18.1 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall be released from the security interest created by this Deed of Trust at any time or from time to time upon the request of each of Beneficiary and Trustor; provided that the requirements of the Credit Documents have been satisfied. Upon satisfaction of such requirements, a Responsible Officer of Beneficiary shall instruct the Trustee to promptly execute, deliver and acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of any Mortgaged Property permitted to be released pursuant to this Deed of Trust. 27

5.18.2 Beneficiary may instruct the Trustee to release Mortgaged Property from the security interest created hereunder upon the sale or disposition of such Mortgaged Property pursuant to Beneficiary's powers, rights and duties with respect to remedies provided herein. 5.19 Credit Agreement Controls. In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Deed of Trust and those set forth in the Credit Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust. 5.20 Time of the Essence. Trustor acknowledges that time is of the essence in performing all of Trustor's obligations set forth herein. 5.21 Counterpart Execution.

EX-10.1.5176th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 176th
continuing, Grantor may exercise all rights, interests and benefits under the Assigned Agreements in any manner consistent with the terms of the Credit Documents. 2.3 Continuing Liability under Assigned Agreements and Permits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under any of the Credit Documents and except as permitted under the Credit Documents, Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Assigned Agreements and its Permits, to perform all of the obligations undertaken by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or liability under any of such Assigned Agreements or Permits by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or any other document related thereto (except as expressly provided for in any applicable Consent), nor shall Administrative Agent be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of Grantor thereunder or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or present or file any claim, or take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. 2.4 Defaults under Assigned Agreements.

Any curing by Administrative Agent of Grantor's default under any of the Assigned Agreements shall not be construed as an assumption by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any obligations, covenants or agreements of Grantor under such Assigned Agreements, and Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to Grantor or any other Person as a result of any actions undertaken by Administrative Agent in curing or attempting to cure any such default. This Agreement shall not be deemed to release or to affect in any way the obligations of Grantor under the Assigned Agreements. 2.5 Destruction of Collateral. No injury to, or loss or destruction of, the Collateral or any part thereof shall relieve Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or any of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document. ARTICLE III. OBLIGATIONS SECURED Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement and all of the Collateral secure the payment and performance when due of all Obligations. If, notwithstanding the representation and warranty set forth in Section 4(b)(ix)-(x) or anything to the contrary herein, enforcement of the liability of Grantor under this Agreement for the full amount of the Obligations would be an unlawful or voidable transfer under any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or any comparable law, then the liability of Grantor hereunder shall be reduced to the highest amount for which such liability may then be enforced without giving rise to an unlawful or voidable transfer under any such law. 6

ARTICLE IV. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES (a) The occurrence of an Event of Default under, and as defined in, the Credit Agreement, whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body, shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Any such Event of Default shall be considered cured or waived for the purposes of this Agreement when it has been cured or waived in accordance with the Credit Agreement. (b) Grantor represents and warrants to and in favor of Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, as of the [DATE HEREOF] [CLOSING DATE], as follows: (i) Grantor is [ORGANIZED] [FORMED] and validly existing under the laws of the State of [__________] and is qualified to do business in such jurisdiction and in each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification. (ii) Grantor has the full power and authority to conduct its business as contemplated by this Agreement and each other Operative Documents. This Agreement and the other Operative Documents to which Grantor is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Grantor. (iii) The execution, delivery and performance by Grantor of this Agreement and each other Operative Document to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the granting of security interests hereunder) or under any other Operative Document to which it is a party do not and will not (A) violate any provision of (I) any Legal Requirement applicable to Grantor, (II) the Governing Documents of Grantor, or (III) any order, judgment or decree of any court or agency or Governmental Instrumentality binding on Grantor, (B) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any material contractual obligation of Grantor, (C) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Grantor (other than any Liens created hereby or under any of the other Credit Documents in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties), or (D) require any approval of any Person, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the [CLOSING DATE] [DATE HEREOF] and disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent. (iv) Grantor has not executed and is not aware of any effective financing statement, security agreement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or permitted pursuant hereto or thereto. (v) This Agreement and each other Operative Document to which Grantor is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Grantor enforceable against Grantor in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may 7
EX-10.1.5178th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 178th
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights or by the effect of general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). (vi) Grantor is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, except noncompliance which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (vii) Grantor is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No provision of the FPA or PUHCA as to securities, rates or financial or organizational matters precludes Grantor from entering into and performing its obligations hereunder. (viii) The name of Grantor is "[________________]," as indicated in the public records of the State of [_____________________]. Grantor's federal employee identification number is [_____________________] and Grantor's [____________________] organizational number is [___________________]. (ix) After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the contingent obligations evidenced hereby (but excluding the effect of the provisions of Article III which limit the Obligations to an amount that would not render Grantor's indebtedness, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement subject to avoidance), Grantor is Solvent. (x) Grantor is not executing this Agreement with any intention to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor or creditors of Grantor. (xi) The security interest granted to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to this Agreement in the Collateral constitutes a valid lien, subject, with respect to any proceeds, to the limitations set forth in Section 9-315 of the UCC. The security interest granted to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to this Agreement in the Collateral will be perfected (A) with respect to any property that can solely be perfected by filing, to the extent Article 9 of the UCC applies thereto, upon the filing of financing statements in the filing offices identified on Exhibit D-6 to the Credit Agreement and (B) with respect to any property that can be perfected by possession, upon Administrative Agent receiving possession thereof, and in each case such security interest will be, as to Collateral perfected under the UCC, superior and prior to the rights of all third Persons now existing or hereafter arising whether by way of mortgage, Lien, security interests, encumbrance, assignment or otherwise, except (I) with respect to the Collateral described in clause (A) of this Section 4(b)(xi), the Permitted Liens described in clauses (a) and (e) of the definition of "Permitted Liens" and, to the extent required by Governmental Rule, those matters described in clauses (b), (c) and (g) of the definition of "Permitted Liens" and (II) with respect to the Collateral described in clause (B) of this Section 4(b)(xi), the Permitted Liens described in clause (a) of the definition of "Permitted Liens" and, to the 8
EX-10.1.5179th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 179th
extent required by Governmental Rule, those matters described in clause (b) of the definition of "Permitted Liens". Except to the extent possession of portions of such Collateral is required for perfection, all such action as is necessary has been taken to establish and perfect Administrative Agent's rights in and to such Collateral to the extent Administrative Agent's security interest can be perfected by filing, including any recording, filing, registration, giving of notice or other similar action. Subject to the requirements contained in the UCC with respect to the filing of continuation statements, as of [THE CLOSING DATE][THE DATE HEREOF], no filing, recordation, re-filing or re-recording other than [THOSE LISTED ON EXHIBIT D-6 TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT][INSERT REQUIRED FILINGS] is necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of the interest, title or Liens of this Agreement, and on [THE CLOSING DATE][THE DATE HEREOF] all such filings or recordings will have been made to the extent Administrative Agent's security interest can be perfected by filing. Grantor has properly delivered or caused to be delivered to Administrative Agent all such Collateral that requires perfection of the Lien and security interest described above by possession. ARTICLE V. REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT 5.1 Remedies Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do any of the following: (a) declare [(INCLUDING BY CALLING UPON THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY)] any amounts payable by Grantor under any of the Credit Documents to be due and payable immediately, and thereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Grantor, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding (provided that, if such Event of Default occurs under Section __________ of the Credit Agreement with respect to [BORROWER] [GRANTOR], all such amounts shall become automatically due and payable); (b) proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement and under the UCC; (c) cause all revenues hereby pledged as security and all other moneys and other property pledged hereunder to be paid and/or delivered directly to it, and demand, sue for, collect and receive any such moneys and property; (d) cause any action at law or suit in equity or other proceeding to be instituted and prosecuted to collect or enforce any of the Obligations, or rights hereunder or included in the Collateral, or for specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any of the Assigned Agreements, or in aid of the exercise of any power herein or therein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder and sale under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceeding, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in it by this Agreement or by law; 9

EX-10.1.5181st Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 181st
(l) transfer the Collateral or any part thereof to the name of Administrative Agent or to the name of Administrative Agent's nominee; (m) take possession of and endorse in the name of Grantor or in the name of Administrative Agent, for the account of Grantor, any bills of exchange, checks, drafts, money orders, notes or any other chattel paper, documents or instruments constituting all or any part of the Collateral or received as interest, rent or other payment on or on account of the Collateral or any part thereof or on account of its sale or lease; (n) appoint another (who may be an employee, officer or other representative of Administrative Agent) to do any of the foregoing, or take any other action permitted hereunder, on behalf of Administrative Agent; (o) execute (in the name, place and stead of Grantor) endorsements, assignments and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral; (p) take any other action which Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable to protect or realize upon its security interest in the Collateral or any part thereof; (q) require Grantor to assemble the Collateral or any part thereof and to make the same (to the extent the same is reasonably moveable) available to Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to Grantor and Administrative Agent; (r) make formal application for the transfer of all of Grantor's Permits to Administrative Agent or to any assignee of Administrative Agent or to any purchaser of any of the Collateral to the extent the same are assignable in accordance with their terms and applicable Legal Requirements; and/or (s) exercise any other or additional rights or remedies granted to Administrative Agent under any other provision of this Agreement or any related agreement, or exercisable by a secured party under the UCC or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. 5.2 Minimum Notice Period. If, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, prior notice of any action described in Section 5.1 is required to be given to Grantor, Grantor hereby acknowledges that the minimum time required by such applicable Legal Requirements, or, if no minimum time is specified, fifteen (15) Banking Days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period. 5.3 Sale of Collateral. In addition to exercising the foregoing rights, Administrative Agent may, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, arrange for and conduct the sale of the Collateral at a public or private Sale (as Administrative Agent may elect) which sale may be conducted by an employee or representative of Administrative Agent, and any such sale shall be considered or deemed to be a sale made in a commercially reasonable manner. Administrative Agent agrees to provide at least fifteen (15) Banking Days' prior written notice to Grantor specifying the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made and Grantor agrees that such fifteen (15) Banking Days' notice shall constitute 11
EX-10.1.5182nd Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 182nd
reasonable notification (unless a longer notice period shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements). Administrative Agent may release, temporarily or otherwise, to Grantor any item of Collateral of which Administrative Agent has taken possession pursuant to any right granted to Administrative Agent by this Agreement without waiving any rights granted to Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other agreement related hereto or thereto. Grantor, in dealing with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, hereby waives all rights, legal and equitable, it may now or hereafter have to require marshaling of assets or to require, upon foreclosure, sales of assets in a particular order. Each successor of Grantor under the Credit Documents agrees that it shall be bound by the above waiver, to the same extent as if such holder gave the waiver itself. Grantor also hereby waives, to the full extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all laws providing for rights of appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption after foreclosure now or hereafter in force. If Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by Administrative Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. In the event Administrative Agent shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by Legal Requirements or this Agreement or any other Credit Document, Administrative Agent may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations. 5.4 Sales of Private Securities. Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws (collectively, the "Securities Laws"), Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral constituting "securities", however defined in the Securities Laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale. 5.5 Registration of Securities. If Administrative Agent with the prior written consent of the other Secured Parties shall decide to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral, and if, in the opinion of counsel for Administrative Agent, it is necessary to have such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of any Securities Laws, Grantor shall execute and deliver, all at Grantor's expense, all such instruments and documents which, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, are necessary to register or qualify such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Laws and shall use best efforts to cause any registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of not less than six months from the date of the first public offering of such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and to make all amendments thereto and/or to any related prospectus or similar document which, are necessary, all in conformity with the Securities Laws applicable thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor agrees to comply with the applicable provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any jurisdiction(s) which Administrative Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available to 12
EX-10.1.5183rd Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 183rd
its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 1l(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. 5.6 Actions Taken by Administrative Agent. Any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement or any Assigned Agreement may be taken by Administrative Agent either in Grantor's name or in Administrative Agent's name, as Administrative Agent may deem necessary. 5.7 Private Sales. Administrative Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Article V conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with the requirements of applicable Legal Requirements. Grantor hereby waives any claims against Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that such private sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. 5.8 Waiver of Rights and Remedies Under Applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, Grantor hereby waives all rights and remedies of a debtor or grantor under the UCC or other applicable Legal Requirements, and all formalities prescribed by law relative to the sale or disposition of the Collateral (other than notice of sale and any other rights, remedies and formalities that are expressly contemplated by this Agreement) during the continuation of an Event of Default and all other rights and remedies of Grantor with respect thereto. To the extent that any such rights, remedies or formalities are not waivable under the UCC or other applicable Legal Requirements, Administrative Agent agrees to comply and observe such formalities and requirements in accordance with the UCC and applicable Legal Requirements. In exercising its right to take possession of the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, Administrative Agent, personally or by its agents or attorneys, and subject to the rights of any tenant under any lease or sublease of the Collateral, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements, may enter upon any land owned or leased by Grantor without being guilty of trespass or any wrongdoing, and without liability to Grantor for damages thereby occasioned. 5.9 Compliance With Limitations and Restrictions. Grantor hereby agrees that in respect of any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Legal Requirements, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall Administrative Agent be liable or accountable to Grantor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction. 13
EX-10.1.5184th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 184th
5.10 No Impairment of Remedies. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies hereunder, Administrative Agent shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including any right to enter a deficiency judgment against Grantor or any other Person, whether because of any applicable Legal Requirements pertaining to "election of remedies" or otherwise, Grantor hereby consents to such action by Administrative Agent and, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Administrative Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation, indemnification or reimbursement which Grantor might otherwise have had but for such action by Administrative Agent or the terms herein. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of Administrative Agent to seek a deficiency judgment against any of the parties to any of the Credit Documents shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, impair Grantor's obligation hereunder. ARTICLE VI. MISCELLANEOUS 6.1 Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver. 6.1.1 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Administrative Agent hereunder is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or under any other Credit Document now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial proceedings, or both. 6.1.2 Delay Not Waiver; Separate Causes of Action. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to Administrative Agent upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any other breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any other breach or default under this Agreement or any other Credit Document be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Administrative Agent of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of the Secured Parties or Administrative Agent of any provision or condition of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. Each and every default by Grantor in payment hereunder shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. 6.2 Attorney-In-Fact. Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent, acting for and on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties and each successor or permitted assign of Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Grantor, with full power and authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of 14

Grantor, Administrative Agent or otherwise to enforce all rights, interests and remedies of Grantor with respect to the Collateral or enforce all rights, interests and remedies of Administrative Agent under this Agreement (including the rights set forth in Section 5.1); provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not exercise any of the aforementioned rights unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and has not been waived or cured in accordance with the Credit Documents. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable; provided further, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Grantor from, prior to the exercise by Administrative Agent of any of the aforementioned rights, undertaking Grantor's operations in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Collateral and the Credit Documents. 6.3 Perfection: Further Assurances: Certain Waivers. 6.3.1 Perfection. Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Grantor, Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary, or that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect, to ensure the continued perfection of, and to protect the assignment and security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor shall: (a) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, deliver and pledge to Administrative Agent such note or instrument duly endorsed (without recourse) and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent; and (b) authorize, execute and file such financing statements or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, endorsements or notices, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or as Administrative Agent may reasonably request or as required by applicable Legal Requirements, in order to perfect and preserve the assignments and security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby. If Grantor shall at any time acquire a commercial tort claim, as defined in the UCC, with a fair market value in excess of $50,000 Grantor shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in a writing signed by Grantor of the brief details thereof and grant to Administrative Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. 6.3.2 Filing of Financing and Continuation Statements. Grantor hereby authorizes the filing of any financial statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, or any similar document in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of the Collateral that describes such property in any other manner as Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to Administrative Agent herein, including describing such property as "all assets" or "all personal property", whether now owned or hereafter acquired. 15

This Agreement shall create a continuing pledge and assignment of and security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash and performance in full of the Obligations (other than the Obligations that are intended to survive the termination of the Credit Documents); (b) be binding upon Grantor and its successors and assigns; and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent, to the benefit of Administrative Agent and its successors and permitted assigns for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any of the Secured Parties may assign or otherwise transfer the Notes or other evidence of indebtedness held by them to any other Person to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all or an appropriate part of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Secured Parties herein or otherwise. The release of the security interest in any or all of the Collateral, the taking or acceptance of additional security, or the resort by Administrative Agent to any security it may have in any order it may deem appropriate, shall not affect the liability of any Person on the indebtedness secured hereby, except for release of Collateral upon the payment in full in cash and performance in full of the Obligations. 6.5 Termination of Security Interest. Upon the payment in full in cash and performance in full of all Obligations (other than the Obligations that are intended to survive the termination of the Credit Documents), this Agreement and the security interest and all other rights granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantor. Upon 16

any such termination, Administrative Agent shall, at Grantor's expense and upon its written direction, execute and, subject to Section 6.10, deliver to Grantor such documents (including UCC-3 termination statements) as Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, to release all security interest on the Collateral and to return such Collateral to Grantor. 6.6 Limitation on Duty of Administrative Agent with Respect to the Collateral.

Except for (a) the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession, (b) the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder and (c) any duty expressly imposed on Administrative Agent by applicable Legal Requirements with respect to any Collateral that has not been waived by Grantor hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have no duty with respect to any Collateral and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment that is substantially equivalent to that which Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being expressly agreed, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, that Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral or (ii) taking any action to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral, but, in each case, Administrative Agent may do so and all expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith shall be part of the Obligations. 6.7 Liability.

EX-10.1.5205th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 205th
shall be due and payable upon demand therefor and thereafter shall bear interest at the Default Rate or the maximum rate permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, whichever is less; (h) exercise any other or additional rights or remedies granted to Administrative Agent under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or exercisable by a secured party under the UCC or under any other applicable Legal Requirement; (i) take any other action which Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable to protect or realize upon its security interest in the Collateral or any part thereof; and/or (j) appoint another Person (who may be an employee, officer or other representative of Administrative Agent) to do any of the foregoing, or take any other action permitted hereunder, on behalf of Administrative Agent. 7.2 Minimum Notice Period. If, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, prior notice of any action described in Section 7.1 is required to be given to Pledgor or Company, Pledgor and Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the minimum time required by such applicable Legal Requirements, or if no minimum is specified, fifteen (15) Banking Days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period. 7.3 Right to Cure. In addition to the foregoing remedies, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any Event of Default and incur reasonable fees, costs and expenses in doing so, in which event Pledgor and Company shall reimburse Administrative Agent for all such fees, costs and expenses as provided for in Section 7.4 below. 7.4 Expenses; Interest. (a) Each of Pledgor and Company jointly and severally agrees to pay on demand to Administrative Agent all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with exercising any actions taken under Section 7.1 or the enforcement, exercise, protection or preservation of any of its rights, remedies or claims (or the rights or claims of any other Secured Party) under this Agreement. (b) Any amount required to be paid by Pledgor or Company pursuant to the terms hereof that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, from the date due until paid in full in cash. 7.5 Sale of Collateral.

EX-10.1.5206th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 206th
reasonable notification (unless a longer notice period shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements). Administrative Agent may release, temporarily or otherwise, to Pledgor any item of Collateral of which Administrative Agent has taken possession pursuant to any right granted to Administrative Agent by this Agreement without waiving any rights granted to Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents. Pledgor, in dealing with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, hereby waives all rights, legal and equitable, it may now or hereafter have to require marshaling of assets or to require, upon foreclosure, sales of assets in a particular order. Pledgor also waives its right to challenge the reasonableness of any disclaimer of warranties, title and the like made by Administrative Agent in connection with a sale of the Collateral. Each successor of Pledgor under the Credit Documents agrees that it shall be bound by the above waiver, to the same extent as if such holder gave the waiver itself. Pledgor also hereby waives, to the full extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all laws providing for rights of appraisal, valuation, stay or extension or of redemption after foreclosure now or hereafter in force. If Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Pledgor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by Administrative Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and Pledgor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. In the event Administrative Agent shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by Legal Requirements or this Agreement or any other Credit Document, Administrative Agent may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations. 7.6 Compliance With Limitations and Restrictions. Pledgor hereby agrees that in respect of any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as Administrative Agent may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Legal Requirements, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and Pledgor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall Administrative Agent be liable or accountable to Pledgor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction. 7.7 Registration of Securities. If Administrative Agent shall decide to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral, and if, in the opinion of counsel to Administrative Agent, it is necessary to have such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or otherwise registered or qualified under any federal or state securities laws or regulations (collectively, the "Securities Laws"), Pledgor and Company will execute and deliver, all at Pledgor's and Company's expense, all such instruments and documents which, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, are necessary to register or qualify such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Laws. Pledgor and Company will execute and will use best efforts to cause any registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of not less than six months from the date of the first public offering of such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and to make all amendments thereto and/or to any related prospectus or similar document which, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent, are necessary, all in conformity with the Securities Laws applicable thereto. Without limiting the generality of the 11
EX-10.1.5207th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 207th
foregoing, Pledgor and Company agree to comply with the applicable provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any jurisdiction(s) which Administrative Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. 7.8 No Impairment of Remedies. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including any right to enter a deficiency judgment against Pledgor or any other Person, whether because of any applicable Legal Requirements pertaining to "election of remedies" or otherwise, Pledgor hereby consents to such action by Administrative Agent and, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Administrative Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation, indemnification or reimbursement which Pledgor might otherwise have had but for such action by Administrative Agent or the terms herein. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of Administrative Agent to seek a deficiency judgment against any of the parties to any of the Credit Documents shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, impair Pledgor's obligation hereunder. ARTICLE VIII. MISCELLANEOUS 8.1 Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver. 8.1.1 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Administrative Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken non-judicial proceedings, or both. 8.1.2 No Waiver; Separate Causes of Action. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default as aforesaid shall impair any such right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or of any similar breach or default thereafter occurring or an acquiescence therein, nor shall any waiver of any other breach or default under this Agreement or any other Credit Document be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Each and every default by Pledgor in payment hereunder shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises and every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Administrative Agent. 12

Pledgor further agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may elect to non-judicially or judicially foreclose against any real or personal property security it holds for the Obligations or any part thereof, or to exercise any other remedy against Company or any other Person, any security or any guarantor, even if the effect of that action is to deprive Pledgor of the right to collect reimbursement from Company or any other Person for any sums paid by Pledgor to Administrative Agent or any Lender. 8.1.6 Waiver of Rights of Subrogation. Until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, (a) Pledgor shall not exercise any right of subrogation and shall not enforce any remedy which the Secured Parties now have or may hereafter have against Company, and waives the benefit of, and all rights to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from Company and (b) Pledgor agrees not to exercise any claim, right or remedy which Pledgor may now have or hereafter acquire against Company that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by Pledgor hereunder, including any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of the Secured Parties against Company, or any security which the Secured Parties now have or hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise.

The Junior Claimant agrees that it will not ask, demand, sue for, take or receive from Borrower or any of its subsidiaries by set-off or in any other manner, or (subject to the last sentence of this paragraph) retain payment (in whole or in part) of, any of the Subordinated Costs or any security therefor. Borrower agrees that (subject to the last sentence of this paragraph) it will not make, nor permit to be made, any payment of any kind on account of, or provide any additional security or guarantee for, the Subordinated Costs (whether on behalf of Borrower or otherwise). Junior Claimant directs Borrower to make, and Borrower agrees to make, the payment of the Senior Claims in full in cash prior to the payment of the Subordinated Costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may pay to Junior Claimant Subordinated Costs due to Junior Claimant with funds available for distribution by Borrower pursuant to Waterfall Level 8 or Section 3.6.2(b) of the Depositary Agreement, in each case in accordance with the Depositary Agreement. 2. Definitions: The following terms have the following meanings: "Credit Agreement" means that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2003 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among Borrower, the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto (collectively, the "Banks"), and Beal Bank, S.S.B., as administrative agent (in such capacity, "Administrative Agent"). "Obligations" means and includes all loans, advances, debts, liabilities, and obligations, howsoever arising, owed by Borrower or any Affiliate thereof to Administrative Agent or any Bank of every kind and description (whether or not evidenced by any note or instrument and whether or not for the payment of money), direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other documents entered into in connection therewith, including all interest, reasonable fees, reasonable charges, reasonable expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees and consultant fees chargeable to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof and payable by Borrower or any Affiliate thereof hereunder or thereunder. "Proceeding" means any (a) insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar proceeding relating to Borrower or any subsidiary thereof or its property, (b) proceeding for any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of Borrower or any subsidiary thereof, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, (c) general assignment for the benefit of creditors of Borrower or any subsidiary thereof, or (d) other marshaling of the assets of 1

Payments in Error: Should any payment on account of, or any collateral for any part of, the Subordinated Costs be received by Junior Claimant in violation of the terms hereof, such payment or collateral shall be delivered by Junior Claimant forthwith to Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Claimants, for deposit into the Revenue Account referred to in the Credit Agreement, in the case of any such payment, or to secure the Senior Claims, in the case of any such collateral, in each case in the form received.

Authorizations to Senior Claimants: After the commencement of any Proceeding referred to above, Junior Claimant shall be entitled inquire of Administrative Agent in writing whether Administrative Agent, on behalf of Senior Claimants, intends to exercise the foregoing rights with respect to the Subordinated Costs.

(b) Guarantor agrees that if for any reason Borrower or any Project Participant shall fail to pay or perform, as the case may be, when due any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall promptly pay or perform, as the case may be, the same forthwith on the date such payment or performance of such Guaranteed Obligation is due or required, without regard to any exercise or non-exercise by Guarantor, Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents, and that in the case of any extension of time of the payment, performance or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid or performed, as the case may be, in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) is free and clear of such Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be, including any Taxes or Other Taxes on such additional amount, is equal to the amount that the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) would have received had there been no such deduction or withholding. 5.2 Subordination.

Any payment by Borrower or any subsidiary thereof in violation of this Guaranty shall be received by Guarantor in trust for Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, and Guarantor shall cause the same to be paid to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor shall not assign all or any portion of such indebtedness while the Guaranty remains in effect except upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent and pursuant to an agreement by which the assignee of any such indebtedness agrees that the assignment is made subject to the terms of this Guaranty, and that any attempted assignment of such indebtedness in violation of the provisions hereof shall be void. Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall apply to any repayment of existing or future indebtedness or obligation, distribution, withdrawal of capital or any other payment of any kind or nature whether in cash, in kind, or otherwise, that is permitted to be made to Guarantor or any of its Affiliates pursuant to and in accordance with the Credit Documents. 5.3 Waiver. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and relinquishes, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, all rights and remedies accorded to sureties or guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including: (a) any right to require Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties to proceed against Borrower, any Project Participant or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent's or any other Secured Party's power before proceeding against Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of power or authority, death, dissolution, merger, termination or disability of Guarantor, Borrower, any Project Participant or any other Person or the failure of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of Guarantor, Borrower, any Project Participant or any other Person; (c) promptness, diligence, demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind, including notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Borrower, any Project Participant, Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties, any endorser or creditor of the 8

foregoing or on the part of any other Person under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties as collateral or in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties, including an election to proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor, the right of Guarantor to proceed against Borrower, any Project Participant or another Person for reimbursement, or both; (e) any defense based on any offset against any amounts which may be owed by any Person to Guarantor for any reason whatsoever; (f) any defense based on any act, failure to act, delay or omission whatsoever on the part of Borrower, any Project Participant or any of Borrower's Affiliates or the failure by Borrower, any Project Participant or any of Borrower's Affiliates to do any act or thing or to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement to be observed or performed by it under the Credit Agreement or any other Operative Document; (g) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (h) any defense setoff or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or asserted by Borrower, any Project Participant or any of Borrower's Affiliates thereof against Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties or any other Person under the Credit Agreement or any other Operative Document; (i) any duty on the part of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to Guarantor any facts any Secured Party may now or hereafter know about Borrower, any Project Participant or the Projects, regardless of whether Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume, or have reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor, or have a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, since Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment or non-performance of any Guaranteed Obligation; (j) any defense based on any change in the time, manner or place of any payment or performance under, or in any other term of, the Credit Agreement or any other Operative Document, or any other amendment, renewal, extension, acceleration, compromise or waiver of or any consent or departure from the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Operative Document; (k) any right to assert the bankruptcy or insolvency of Borrower, any Project Participant or any other Person as a defense hereunder or as the basis for rescission hereof and any defense arising because of Administrative Agent's or any other Secured Party's 9

election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (l) any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; and (m) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations), any act or omission by Borrower, any Project Participant, or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Administrative Agent, Borrower, any Project Participant or any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, any guarantor or surety (other than, subject to Section 5.6, defense of payment or performance of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations). 5.4 Subrogation. Until this Guaranty is terminated in accordance with Section 6.15 below, (a) none of Guarantor, Borrower, and any Project Participant (or any Person on their respective behalf) shall exercise any right of subrogation or enforce any remedy which it now may have or may hereafter have against any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and will not claim the benefit of any rights to, or seek to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Guarantor, Borrower, any Project Participant or any other Person from any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (b) none of Guarantor, Borrower, and any Project Participant (or any Person on their respective behalf) shall enforce any claim, right or remedy which Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire against any Person that arises hereunder, from the existence or enforcement of this Guaranty or from the performance by Guarantor hereunder (including any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of Guarantor, Borrower, any Project Participant or any other Person against any Person, or any security which Guarantor, Borrower, any Project Participant or any other Person now may have or may hereafter acquire), whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise. 5.5 Bankruptcy. (a) The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be altered, limited or affected by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or arrangement of Borrower, any Project Participant or any Affiliate thereof, or by any defense which Borrower, any Project Participant or any Affiliate thereof may have by reason of any order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. (b) Guarantor shall file, in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or permitted by law, all claims which Guarantor may have against Borrower or any Project Participant relating to any indebtedness of Borrower or any Project Participant to Guarantor, and hereby assigns to Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) all rights of Guarantor thereunder. If Guarantor does not file any such claim, Administrative Agent, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Administrative Agent's discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proofs of claim to be filed in the name of Administrative Agent's nominee. The 10
EX-10.1.5242nd Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 242nd
foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Administrative Agent or its nominee shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan proposed in any such proceeding and to take any other action which a party filing a claim is entitled to take. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person authorized to pay such a claim shall pay the same to Administrative Agent to the extent of any Guaranteed Obligations which then remain unpaid or unperformed, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Administrative Agent all of Guarantor's rights to all such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; provided, however, that Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied except to the extent that Administrative Agent receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution. If Administrative Agent receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty. (c) Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent it may do so under applicable Legal Requirements, any protection to which it may be entitled under Sections 365(c)(l), 365(c)(2) and 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law or equivalent provisions of the laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction with respect to any proceedings, or any successor provision of law of similar import, in the event of any Bankruptcy Event with respect to Borrower or any Project Participant. Specifically, in the event that the trustee (or similar official) in a Bankruptcy Event with respect to Borrower or any Project Participant or the debtor-in-possession takes any action (including the institution of any action, suit or other proceeding for the purpose of enforcing the rights of Borrower, or any Project Participant under this Guaranty or any other Credit Document), Guarantor shall not assert any defense, claim or counterclaim denying liability hereunder on the basis that this Guaranty or any other Credit Document is an executory contract or a "financial accommodation" that cannot be assumed, assigned or enforced or on any other theory directly or indirectly based on Section 365(c)(l), 365(c)(2) or 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law, or equivalent provisions of the law or regulations of any other jurisdiction with respect to any proceedings or any successor provision of law of similar import. If a Bankruptcy Event with respect to Borrower or any Project Participant shall occur, Guarantor agrees, after the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event, to reconfirm in writing, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, its pre-petition waiver of any protection to which it may be entitled under Sections 365(c)(l), 365(c)(2) and 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law or equivalent provisions of the laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction with respect to proceedings and, to give effect to such waiver, Guarantor consents to the assumption and enforcement of each provision of this Guaranty and any other Credit Document by the debtor-in-possession or Borrower's or any Project Participant's trustee in bankruptcy, as the case may be. 5.6 Reinstatement. This Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or otherwise restored to Guarantor or Borrower, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made, and Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns in connection with any such rescission or restoration. 11

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Guaranty and all of the Collateral secure the payment and performance when due of all Guaranteed Obligations. If, notwithstanding the representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.1.5 or anything to the contrary herein, enforcement of the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty for the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations would be an unlawful or voidable transfer under any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or any comparable law, then the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be reduced to the highest amount for which such liability may then be enforced without giving rise to an unlawful or voidable transfer under any such law. 6.2 Successions or Assignments. (a) This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the successors or permitted assigns of the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement who shall have, to the extent of their interest, the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder. (b) This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns. Guarantor may not assign any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Banks (and any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void). 6.3 Other Waivers. (a) No delay or omission on the part of Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties in exercising any of their rights (including those hereunder) and no partial or single exercise thereof and no action or non-action by Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties, with or without notice to Guarantor, Borrower, any Project Participant or any other Person, shall constitute a waiver of any rights or shall affect or impair this Guaranty. (b) ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND GUARANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF THE SECURED PARTIES, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR GUARANTOR. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE SECURED PARTIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ACCEPT THIS GUARANTY, ENTER INTO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND MAKE LOANS THEREUNDER. 6.4 Headings.

Any provision of this Guaranty that may be determined by competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 6.7 Amendments.

F. It is a requirement under the Credit Agreement that Contracting Party and Project Owner execute and deliver this Consent. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree, notwithstanding anything in the Assigned Agreement to the contrary, as follows: 1. Assignment and Agreement. 1.1 Consent to Assignment. Contracting Party (a) is hereby notified that the Lenders have made the extensions of credit contemplated by the Credit Agreement, (b) consents to the collateral assignment under the Security Agreement of all of Project Owner's right, title and interest in, to and under the Assigned Agreement, including, without limitation, all of Project Owner's rights to receive payment and all payments due and to become due to Project Owner under or with respect to the Assigned Agreement (collectively, the "Assigned Interests") and (c) acknowledges the right of Administrative Agent, in the exercise of Administrative Agent's rights and remedies pursuant [AND SUBJECT(1)] to the Security Agreement, upon written notice to Contracting Party, to make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all rights of Project Owner under the Assigned Agreement. 1.2 Subsequent Owner. (a) Contracting Party agrees that, if Administrative Agent notifies Contracting Party in writing that, pursuant to and in accordance with the Security Agreement, it has assigned, foreclosed or sold the Assigned Interest, then (i) Administrative Agent or its successor, assignee and/or designee, or any purchaser of the Assigned Interests (a "Subsequent Owner") shall be substituted for Project Owner under the Assigned Agreement and (ii) Contracting Party shall (A) recognize Administrative Agent or the Subsequent Owner, as the case may be, as its counterparty under the Assigned Agreement and (B) continue to perform its obligations under the Assigned Agreement in favor of Administrative Agent or the Subsequent Owner, as the case may be; provided that Administrative Agent or such Subsequent Owner, as the case may be, has assumed in writing all of Project Owner's rights and obligations (including, without limitation, the obligation to cure any then existing payment and performance defaults, but excluding any obligation to cure any then existing performance defaults which by their nature are incapable of being cured) under the Assigned Agreement. (b) [INSERT THE FOLLOWING ONLY IF WARRANTIES ARE PROVIDED BY CONTRACTING PARTY UNDER THE RELEVANT ASSIGNED AGREEMENT: Without limiting anything herein, the warranties provided by Contracting Party under the Assigned Agreement shall continue in full force and effect (until the expiration of the applicable warranty periods set forth in the ---------- (1) Bracketed language to be included only in the Consents related to Project Documents to which an Affiliate of Project Company is a Contracting Party. 2

Assigned Agreement) in the event that Administrative Agent or a Subsequent Owner succeeds to Project Owner's right, title and interest in the Assigned Agreement.] 1.3 Right to Cure. If Project Owner defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under the Assigned Agreement, or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition under the Assigned Agreement which would immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, enable Contracting Party to terminate or suspend its performance under the Assigned Agreement (each hereinafter a "default"). Contracting Party shall not terminate or suspend its performance under the Assigned Agreement until it first gives written notice of such default to Administrative Agent and affords Administrative Agent a period of at least 30 days (or if such default is a nonmonetary default, such longer period (not to exceed 90 days) as may be required so long as Administrative Agent has commenced and is diligently pursuing appropriate action to cure such default within such longer period) from receipt of such notice to cure such default; provided, however, that (a) if possession of the Project is necessary to cure such nonmonetary default and Administrative Agent has commenced foreclosure proceedings, Administrative Agent shall be allowed a reasonable time to complete such proceedings within such longer period, and (b) if Administrative Agent is prohibited from curing any such nonmonetary default by any process, stay or injunction issued by any governmental authority or pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or other similar proceeding involving Project Owner, then the time periods specified herein for curing a nonmonetary default shall be extended for the period of such prohibition. In the event the Administrative Agent does not cure any such default within such applicable extended cure period, Contracting Party shall continue to have all rights and remedies afforded to it under the Assigned Agreement. 1.4 No Amendments. (a) Contracting Party agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, enter into any novation, material amendment or other material modification of the Assigned Agreement. (b) Contracting Party agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, (i) sell, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under the Assigned Agreement (other than (A) its right to receive payments under the Assigned Agreement and (B) its right to subcontract under the Assigned Agreement), (ii) terminate, cancel or suspend its performance under the Assigned Agreement (unless it has given Administrative Agent any notice and opportunity to cure that are required by Section 1.3 hereof), (iii) consent to any assignment or other transfer by Project Owner of its rights under the Assigned Agreement or (iv) consent to any voluntary termination, cancellation or suspension of performance by Project Owner under the Assigned Agreement. 1.5 Replacement Agreements. In the event the Assigned Agreement is rejected or terminated as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding affecting Project Owner, Contracting Party shall, at the option of Administrative Agent exercised within 45 days after such rejection or termination, enter into a new agreement with Administrative Agent having identical terms, conditions, agreements, provisions and limitations as the Assigned Agreement (subject to any conforming changes necessitated by the 3
EX-10.1.5256th Page of 308TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 256th
substitution of parties and other changes as the parties may mutually agree), provided that (a) the term under such new agreement shall be no longer than the remaining balance of the term specified in the Assigned Agreement, and (b) upon execution of such new agreement, Administrative Agent cures any outstanding payment and performance defaults under the Assigned Agreement, excluding any performance defaults which by their nature are incapable of being cured. 1.6 Limitations on Liability. Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent shall not have any liability or obligation under the Assigned Agreement as a result of this Consent, the Security Agreement or otherwise, nor shall Administrative Agent be obligated or required to (a) perform any of Project Owner's obligations under the Assigned Agreement, except during any period in which Administrative Agent has assumed Project Owner's rights and obligations under the Assigned Agreement pursuant to Section 1.2[(A)] above, or (b) take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned under the Security Agreement. If Administrative Agent has assumed Project Owner's rights and obligations under the Assigned Agreement pursuant to Section 1.2[(A)] above or has entered into a new agreement pursuant to Section 1.5 above, Administrative Agent's liability to Contracting Party under the Assigned Agreement or such new agreement, and the sole recourse of Contracting Party in seeking enforcement of the obligations under such agreements, shall be limited to the interest of Administrative Agent in the Project. 1.7 Delivery of Notices. Contracting Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent, concurrently with the delivery thereof to Project Owner, a copy of each notice, request or demand given by Contracting Party to Project Owner pursuant to the Assigned Agreement relating to (a) a default by Project Owner under the Assigned Agreement and (b) any matter that would require the consent of Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 1.4 of this Consent. Failure of Contracting Party to provide a copy of any such notice, request or demand or any other notice specified in Section 1.3 hereof to Administration Agent shall not constitute a breach of this Consent and Administrative Agent agrees that Contracting Party shall have no liability to Administrative Agent for such failure; provided, however, that no cancellation, suspension or termination of the Assigned Agreement by Contracting Party, or any other actions taken by Contracting Party under the Assigned Agreement, shall be binding upon Administrative Agent or Project Owner without such notice, request or demand (as applicable), if applicable under Section 1.3, the opportunity to cure during the applicable extended cure period specified in Section 1.3 and, if applicable under Section 1.4, consent of Administrative Agent. 1.8 Transfer. In the event Administrative Agent or its designee is substituted for Project Owner under the Assigned Agreement pursuant to Section 1.2 or a new agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1.5, then, subsequent to such substitution, Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign all of its interest in the Assigned Agreement or such new agreement to any entity; provided that such assignee assumes in writing the obligations of Administrative Agent under the Assigned Agreement or such new agreement. Upon such assignment, Administrative Agent shall be released from any further liability under the Assigned Agreement or such new agreement. 4

DRAFT Borrower shall take immediate steps to restore such aggregate limits or shall provide other equivalent insurance protection for such aggregate limits. g. Such other or additional insurance (as to risks covered, policy amounts, policy provisions or otherwise) as, under Prudent Utility Practices, are from time to time insured against for property and facilities similar in nature, use and location to each Project which Agent may reasonably require. 2. All insurance coverage shall be in such form (including the form of the loss payable clauses) as shall be acceptable to Agent (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld). 3. All policies wherein Agent has an insurable interest shall insure the interests of the Bank as well as Borrower and all policies, with the exception of workers compensation insurance, and shall name Agent as additional insured, unless Agent is named as an insured under the policy. All policies covering real or personal property or business interruption shall name Agent as loss payee in accordance with Lender's Loss Payable Endorsement 438 BFU or its equivalent and shall provide that any payment thereunder for any loss or damage with respect to the Projects shall be made to Agent, except that such policies may provide that any payments of less than $25,000 made in respect of any single casualty or other occurrence may be paid solely to Borrower, unless Agent shall have notified the insurer that an Event of Default has occurred thereunder and shall be continuing. Loss payments of $25,000 or more will be paid into the Loss Proceeds Account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.7 of the Depositary Agreement and any distributions made from such account shall be in accordance with the terms of the Depositary Agreement. Upon payment and satisfaction of all of Borrower's obligations under, and termination of, the Credit Documents, Agent will instruct the insurers to name Borrower or such successor credit provider or other Person as Borrower shall specify, as loss payee. All policies covering real or personal property or business interruption will be endorsed to provide that each policy shall expressly provide that all provisions thereof, except the limits of liability (which shall be applicable to all insureds as a group) and liability for premiums (which shall be solely a liability of Borrower) shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each such insured. Each policy (except workers compensation) shall waive subrogation against Agent, any of the Banks or Borrower and shall waive any right of the insurers to any setoff or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of Borrower or the Banks. Each such policy shall provide that if any premium or installment is not paid when due, or if such insurance is to be cancelled, terminated or materially changed for any reason whatsoever, the insurers (or their representatives) will promptly notify Borrower and Agent, and any such cancellation, termination or change shall not be effective until thirty (30) days (except for 10 days for non-payment of premium) after receipt of such notice by Agent, and that appropriate certification shall be made to Borrower by each insurer with respect thereto. Policies required in this Section 3 shall contain an agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder that would otherwise be payable to the Agent will be so payable notwithstanding any action, inaction or

DRAFT breach of representation or warranty by the Borrower or any foreclosure of any Project or any change in ownership of all or any portion of any Project. 4. In the event that Borrower fails to respond in a timely and appropriate manner (as reasonably determined by Agent) to take any steps necessary or reasonably requested by Agent to collect from any insurers for any loss covered by any insurance required to be maintained by this Exhibit K, Agent shall have the right to make all proofs of loss, adjust all claims and/or receive all or any part of the proceeds of the foregoing insurance policies, either in its own name or the name of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall, upon Agent's request and at Borrower's own cost and expense, make all proofs of loss and take all other steps necessary or reasonably requested by Agent to collect from insurers for any loss covered by any insurance required to be obtained by this Exhibit K. 5. In the event that at any time the insurance as herein provided shall be reduced or cease to be maintained, then (without limiting the rights of Agent hereunder in respect of the Event of Default which arises as a result of such failure) Agent may at its option maintain the insurance required hereby and, in such event, Borrower shall reimburse Agent upon demand for the cost thereof together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, but in no event shall the rate of interest exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. 6. In the event any insurance (including the limits or deductibles thereof) hereby required to be maintained, other than insurance required by law to be maintained and the property insurance described in paragraph 1(d) above shall not be available and commercially feasible in the commercial insurance market, Agent, with the validation of the Insurance Consultant, shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement to waive such requirement to the extent the maintenance thereof is not so available; provided, however, that (i) Borrower shall first request any such waiver in writing, which request shall be accompanied by written reports prepared by an independent insurance advisor of recognized national standing certifying that such insurance is not reasonably available and commercially feasible in the commercial insurance market for electric generating plants of similar type and capacity (and, in any case where the required amount is not so available, certifying as to the maximum amount which is so available) and explaining in detail the basis for such conclusions, such insurance advisers and the form and substance of such reports to be reasonably acceptable to Agent; (ii) at any time after the granting of any such waiver, Agent may request, and Borrower shall furnish to Agent within fifteen (15) days after such request, supplemental reports reasonably acceptable to Agent from such insurance advisers updating their prior reports and reaffirming such conclusion; and (iii) any such waiver shall be effective only so long as such insurance shall not be available and commercially feasible in the commercial insurance market, it being understood that the failure of Borrower to timely furnish any such supplemental report shall be conclusive evidence that such waiver is no longer effective because such condition no longer exists, but that such failure is not the only way to establish such non-existence.
