(b) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks ratably in proportion to their Participation Percentages a letter of credit commission computed at the Letter of Credit Commission Rate on the Maximum Credit Amount of the Letter of Credit from and including the Restatement Effective Date to, but excluding, the Termination Date, payable quarterly in arrears on each January 22, April 22, July 22 and October 22 until the Termination Date, and on the Termination Date.

(ii) If any Bank shall have determined that, after July 22, 2002, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the 14 interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction. (iii) Each Bank will notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after July 22, 2002 which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2(d) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 90 days after such Bank obtains knowledge thereof; provided that, if such Bank fails to give such notice within 90 days after it obtains knowledge of such an event, such Bank shall, with respect to compensation payable in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment for costs incurred on and after the date that such Bank does give such notice. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 2(d) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

"OTHER TAXES" means any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or similar charges or levies, which arise from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Letter of Credit. 15 (ii) Any and all payments by the Company to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Company shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions for any Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) the Company shall make such deductions, (C) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (D) the Company shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. (iii) The Company agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 30 days after such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor. Such demand shall be made as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 90 days after such Bank obtains actual knowledge of such event; provided, however, that if any Bank fails to make such demand within 90 days after such Bank obtains knowledge of such event, such Bank shall, with respect to compensation payable in respect of such event, not be entitled to compensation in respect of the costs and losses incurred between the 90th day after such Bank obtains actual knowledge of such event and the date such Bank makes such demand. (iv) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide the Company and the Administrative Agent with Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, or other type of W-8, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service: (i) on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, (ii) before the end of each third calendar year thereafter, and (iii) at any time that a change of circumstances occurs that makes any information on the form so provided incorrect, certifying that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts such Bank from United States withholding tax or reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments under this Agreement or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Further, each such Bank that is not an exempt recipient listed in Section 6049(b)(4) of the Code shall provide the Company and the Administrative Agent with Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or 16 W-9, as appropriate, or other successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that it is exempt from United States back-up withholding. (v) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Company or the Administrative Agent with the appropriate forms pursuant to Section 2(e)(iv) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2(e)(ii) or (iii) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Company shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes. (vi) If the Company is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Booking Office if, in the judgment of such Bank, such change (A) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (B) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. (f) If the payments claimed by any such Bank pursuant to Section 2(d) or Section 2(e) are substantially in excess, as reasonably determined by the Company, relative to the amount of such Bank's Participation, of the payments claimed by the other Banks pursuant to such Sections, the Company shall have the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek one or more mutually satisfactory substitute Eligible Institutions to assume all of the rights and obligations of such Bank in respect of its Participation pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that the aggregate amount of the Participation so assigned to each such Eligible Institution (together with any Participation then held by such Eligible Institution) shall not be less than $10,000,000. (g) The Company shall make each payment hereunder to the Administrative Agent at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due in lawful money of the United States of America and in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City. Whenever any payment under this Section 2 shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. (h) Computations of the letter of credit commission, the fee referred to in Section 2(c), and interest based on the Prime Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed. Computations of all other interest hereunder shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year 17 of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed.

The Administrative Agent and each Bank hereby waive any right to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and collateral at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of the Company if there shall be a drawing under the Letter of Credit at any time during the pendency of any proceeding by or against the Company seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, custodian, trustee or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property (collectively the "BANKRUPTCY EVENTS"), against any and all of the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing in respect of any reimbursement obligation of the Company set forth in Section 2(a), provided that any such waiver shall be deemed ineffective as and to the extent that the Administrative Agent and each Bank receive, after any of the bankruptcy events occur, an unqualified opinion of nationally-recognized counsel with bankruptcy law experience, (which counsel shall be mutually satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Equity Participant, each of which shall use its best efforts to agree on such counsel), that non-waiver would not, as a result of the application of bankruptcy or similar laws as then in effect, lead to the Administrative Agent or any Bank being refused, prevented, permanently enjoined or restrained from or delayed in fulfilling its obligation under the Letter of Credit. This Section 13 shall not constitute a waiver of any right of setoff if there shall be a drawing under the Letter of Credit at any time other than that described in this Section 13. SECTION 14. Participations of the Banks. (a) The Issuing Bank hereby sells to each other Bank, and each Bank hereby severally purchases from the Issuing Bank, as of the Restatement Effective Date, a Participation in an amount equal to such Bank's Participation Percentage of the Letter of Credit and in each drawing thereunder, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein. (b) If at any time on or after the Restatement Effective Date the Company shall fail to reimburse a drawing under the Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly (but in any event no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date payment is due from the Banks under this Section 14(b)) advise each Bank thereof and of the amount due from the Company and the amount of such Bank's Participation therein, and each Bank shall pay, no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date such Bank's Participation Percentage of such amount by transferring the same in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at the Administrative Agent's address specified in Section 11. With respect to any such drawing, each Bank agrees that the Issuing Bank shall have no responsibility to the Banks other than obtaining the draft and certificates referred to in 35 the Letter of Credit and notifying each Bank thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly credit each Bank's account with such Bank's Participation Percentage of (i) all amounts representing principal of, or interest on, any reimbursement obligations, in each case in respect of drawings under the Letter of Credit of which such Bank has funded its Participation Percentage in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 14(b) and (ii) letter of credit commissions payable to each Bank pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement and accruing on and after the Restatement Effective Date, but, in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii), only if, when and to the extent received by the Administrative Agent from the Company. All such payments shall be made if, when and to the extent the Administrative Agent receives payment from the Company in respect of reimbursement for drawings under the Letter of Credit and of the letter of credit commission pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement, and in the same funds in which such amounts are received, by credit to an account at a bank located in the United States of America as each Bank shall designate in writing to the Administrative Agent. (c) If the Administrative Agent should for any reason make any payment to any Bank in anticipation of the receipt of funds from the Company and such funds are not received by the Administrative Agent from the Company on the date payment is due, then such Bank shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent any such amounts transferred to such Bank by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Bank's Participation plus interest thereon from the day such amounts were transferred by the Administrative Agent to such Bank to but not including the day such amounts are returned by such Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If the Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to the Company or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official any portion of the payments made by the Company to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Bank, then such Bank shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent any such payments transferred to such Bank by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Bank's Participation, but without interest on such payments (unless the Administrative Agent is required to pay interest on such amounts to the Person recovering such payments). (d) Each Bank agrees that if it should receive any amount due to it under this Agreement in respect of its Participation other than from the Administrative Agent, such Bank will remit all of the same to the Administrative Agent to distribute to the Banks pursuant to this Agreement, and such Bank's Participation shall be adjusted to reflect such remittance. Each Bank further agrees to send the Administrative Agent a copy of any notice sent by such Bank to the Company hereunder. (e) Each Bank acknowledges and represents that it has made its own independent appraisal of the Company, and the business, affairs and financial condition of the Company, based on such documents and information as such Bank has deemed appropriate, and each Bank will continue to be responsible for making its own independent appraisal of such matters, based on such documents and information as such 36 Bank shall deem appropriate at the time, and has not relied upon and will not hereafter rely upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any information prepared, distributed or otherwise made available by the Administrative Agent for such appraisal or other assessment or review of the Company. Each Bank represents, and in granting a Participation to such Bank it is specifically understood and agreed, that such Bank is acquiring its Participation in the Letter of Credit for its own account in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. SECTION 15. Assignees; Participants. (a) Each Bank shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not be required if a Reimbursement Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to assign all or a pro rata portion of all of its rights and obligations under its Participation at any time and from time to time to one or more Eligible Institutions (each an "ASSIGNEE"); provided that (i) each such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations and agree, for the benefit of each other party hereto, to be bound by the provisions of, and perform the obligations of a Bank under, this Agreement, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Participation or Participations assigned to each such Assignee pursuant to this Section 15(a) shall not be less than $10,000,000. Each Bank shall give prompt notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company of each such assignment made by it. (b) (i) Each Bank shall also have the right, without the consent of the Company, to grant participating interests in its Participation at any time and from time to time to one or more other financial institutions or other entities (each a "PARTICIPANT"); provided that (A) such Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each such participation granted by a Bank shall be evidenced by a participation agreement in form acceptable to such Bank. Each such participation agreement shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to exercise its rights under this Agreement and to enforce the obligations owed to it hereunder pursuant to its Participation including, without limitation, the right to consent to any modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any assignment of the Company's obligations under any of the Transaction Documents or the Financing Documents, subject to Section 8(d); provided that any such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, consent to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement or the Letter of Credit that (w) increases the Maximum Credit Amount or Maximum Drawing Amount or subjects such Bank to any additional obligation under this Agreement or the Letter of Credit, (x) reduces the principal of or rate of interest on any reimbursement obligation or reduces the letter of credit commission payable under 37 Section 2(b), (y) postpones the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any reimbursement obligation or any payment of such letter of credit commission or (z) extends the Stated Termination Date or the Termination Date. (ii) Subject to clause (iii) below, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2(d) and 2(e) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 15(a). (iii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2(d) or 2(e) than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participating interest granted to such Participant, unless the granting of such interest to such Participant is made with the Company's prior written consent. A Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2(d) or 2(e) unless the Company is notified of the participating interest granted to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 2(d) or 2(e) as though it were a Bank. SECTION 16. Continuing Obligation; Binding Effect. (a) The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall continue until the later of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the date upon which all amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent or any Bank hereunder shall have been paid in full. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors. Except as contemplated by Section 16(b), the Company shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein to any Person without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank and each Bank. The Issuing Bank shall not have the right to assign its rights as the Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and each Bank. (b) In connection with the Nuclear Transfer, the Company may, with the consent of the Equity Participant and the Owner Trustee, cause PWEC to assume the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. No such assumption by PWEC shall release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder, and as between the Company, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Banks, on the other hand, the Company shall be directly, primarily and unconditionally obligated to perform those obligations, unless and until all the Banks consent in writing to such release; provided, however, that if less than all the Banks consent to such release, the Company may, with the consent of the Equity Participant, upon 10 days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate this Agreement, and this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, subject to (i) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks of all amounts representing principal of, or accrued interest on, any outstanding reimbursement obligation of the Company under Section 2(a) and all accrued fees and other amounts hereunder to (but not including) such date of termination, whether or not 38 such amounts are otherwise due or payable, and (ii) receipt by the Issuing Bank of the certificate specified in clause (vii) of the definition of "Termination Date". SECTION 17. Extension of the Letter of Credit. At least 105 days but not more than 180 days before the Stated Termination Date, the Company may request the Administrative Agent in writing (each such request being irrevocable and binding), with a copy to each Bank, to extend for not less than three years, nor more than eight years, the Stated Termination Date, specifying the terms and conditions, including fees, to be applicable to such extension. Within 45 days after receiving such extension request (or such later date as the Company may authorize in writing, but in no event later than 60 days before the Stated Termination Date), each Bank shall notify the Company of its consent or nonconsent to such extension request, and if any Bank shall give no such notice, it shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension request. No such requested extension shall be effective without the consent of all the Banks. The consent of any Bank shall be in its sole discretion and shall be conditional upon the preparation, execution and delivery of legal documentation in form and substance satisfactory to such Bank and its counsel, incorporating substantially the terms and conditions contained in the extension request as the same may be modified by agreement among the Company, and the Banks, and evidence satisfactory to it of the due authorization and validity thereof. SECTION 18. Limited Liability of the Banks. The Company assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of the Equity Participant and any beneficiary or transferee of the Letter of Credit with respect to its use of the Letter of Credit. None of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, nor their respective Affiliates nor any officer or director of any of the foregoing shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of the Equity Participant or any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents shall prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the Issuing Bank against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under the Letter of Credit, except that the Company shall have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuing Bank in determining whether a draft or certificate presented under the Letter of Credit complied with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) the Issuing Bank's willful failure to make lawful payment under the Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the Equity Participant of a draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of 39 any notice or information to the contrary unless the Equity Participant and the Company have notified the Issuing Bank in writing prior to a drawing under the Letter of Credit that such documents do not comply with the Letter of Credit. SECTION 19. Cost, Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees to pay not later than 30 days after demand therefor all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, filing, recording and administration of this Agreement and any other documents which may be delivered in connection with this Agreement and any waiver or consent under, or amendment of, this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or Financing Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, and local counsel who may be retained by said counsel, with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement; all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement and such other documents which may be delivered in connection with this Agreement or (ii) any action or proceeding relating to a court order, injunction or other process or decree restraining or seeking to restrain the Issuing Bank from paying any amount under the Letter of Credit; and all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) in connection with each transfer of the Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms. In addition, the Company shall pay any and all stamp, documentary, filing, recording or other similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement and such other documents, and agrees to save the Administrative Agent and each Bank harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees, provided that the Administrative Agent and each Bank agree promptly to notify the Company of any such taxes and fees which are incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Bank. SECTION 20. Administrative Agent; Issuing Bank. (a) Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. (b) The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Company, the Equity Participant and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates and receive payment on such loans or extensions of credit and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect. (c) The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent public accountants and other experts as it may 40 select and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. (d) It is understood that the Issuing Bank will exercise and give the same care and attention to the Letter of Credit as it gives to its other letters of credit and loans for its own account and that the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to the Company or any other Bank and no duty or responsibility with respect to this Agreement or the Letter of Credit, except as expressly provided herein and in the Letter of Credit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be required to take any action with respect to any Reimbursement Default, except as expressly provided in Section 9 hereof. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be liable for any action taken or not taken at the request or with the approval of the Required Banks (or all the Banks, as applicable) or for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement or any Transaction Document or Financing Document or any other document contemplated thereby. It is further understood that: (i) except as expressly limited by the provisions of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank retains the sole right to exercise its rights and enforce the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and the Issuing Bank may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which may be vested in it or which it may be entitled to take or assert under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or Financing Documents (including, without limitation, the giving of any notice to any Person of any Reimbursement Event of Default under this Agreement except as provided in Section 9); and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, be under any liability to any other Bank with respect to anything which the Issuing Bank may do or refrain from doing in the exercise of its best judgment or which it may deem to be necessary or desirable. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any written communication or any telephone conversation which it reasonably believes to be genuine and correct or to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to make any claim on, or assert any lien upon, or assert any setoff against, any property held by it and, if it elects to do so, it may in its discretion apply the same against indebtedness of the Company other than the Company's obligations under this Agreement; provided that, to the extent any funds received pursuant to any of the foregoing are applied to the obligations of the Company under Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, each Bank shall be entitled to receive its pro rata share thereof in accordance with Section 14(b) above. Any such setoff or other action in respect of any reimbursement obligation of the Company set forth in Section 2(a) will be subject to Section 13. SECTION 21. Indemnification. (a) The Company indemnifies and holds harmless the Administrative Agent, each Bank, and their respective officers and directors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses whatsoever 41 which the Administrative Agent or such Bank may incur (or which may be claimed against the Administrative Agent or such Bank by any Person whatsoever): (i) by reason of any inaccuracy in any material respect, or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any offering document distributed by or on behalf of the Company in connection with obtaining purchasers of the Company's undivided interest in Unit 2 of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, or in any supplement or amendment to either thereof, or by reason of the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make such statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they are or were made, not misleading; (ii) by reason of or in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and Financing Documents, or any transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the Financing Documents; or (iii) by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of, or payment or failure to make lawful payment under, the Letter of Credit; provided that the Company shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Bank pursuant to this Section 21 for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (A) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuing Bank in determining whether a draft or certificate presented under the Letter of Credit complied with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (B) the Issuing Bank's willful failure to make lawful payment under the Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the Equity Participant of a draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. Nothing in this Section 21(a) is intended to limit the Company's obligations contained in Section 2. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of the Company hereunder, the indemnities and obligations of the Company contained in this Section 21(a) shall survive the payment in full of all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2 and the termination of the Letter of Credit. (b) To the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Company under this Agreement, each Bank will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank on demand for and against such Bank's Participation Percentage of any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this 42 Agreement, the Letter of Credit, or any of the Transaction Documents or Financing Documents or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder or thereunder, or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof and thereof; provided that such Bank shall not be liable for any portion of such claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, out-of-pocket expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank or which are expressly excluded from the indemnification by the Company by the proviso to Section 21(a)(iii) of this Agreement. Each Bank's obligations under this Section 21(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Letter of Credit. If the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank is reimbursed by the Company for any amounts previously received from any Bank pursuant to this Section 21(b), it will promptly pay to such Bank its proportionate share of any amounts so received. SECTION 22. Confidentiality. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the consent of the Company, other than (a) to the Administrative Agent's or such Bank's respective Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, accountant and advisor of any of the foregoing, and to actual or prospective Assignees and Participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process and (c) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking or otherwise regulating the business of the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be.

Capitalized terms used herein and in Schedules II-A, II-B and III and Exhibits 1, 2, 3 and 4 hereto shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule I hereto. This Letter of Credit is issued in connection with the leasing of an undivided interest in Unit 2 of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station to the Company pursuant to a Facility Lease dated as of August 1, 1986 (the "FACILITY LEASE") as amended and in effect on the date hereof, between the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company (as successor to The First National Bank of Boston), as Owner Trustee under a trust agreement with you. We hereby irrevocably authorize you to draw on us, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, an amount not in excess of the amount shown opposite the period including the date of such drawing (the "DATE OF DRAWING") in the Table of Maximum Drawing Amounts attached hereto as Schedule II-B as such amounts are modified from time to time in accordance with the next paragraph. Such amounts, as modified in accordance with the next paragraph, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "MAXIMUM DRAWING AMOUNTS" and individually as the "MAXIMUM DRAWING Exhibit A-1 AMOUNT". A drawing in respect of a payment hereunder honored by us shall not exceed the lesser of the Maximum Drawing Amount applicable on the Date of Drawing and the Maximum Credit Amount applicable on the Date of Drawing. All payments hereunder shall be made from our own general funds. The Maximum Drawing Amounts shall be modified from time to time as follows: (a) upon payment by the Issuing Bank of each drawing under the Letter of Credit, the Maximum Drawing Amounts applicable to each Date of Drawing subsequent to such payment shall be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the amount of the drawing so paid and shall not be reinstated; and (b) if adjustments are made to Modified Special Casualty Values, corresponding adjustments shall be made to the Maximum Drawing Amounts shown in Schedule II-B, (as theretofore reduced pursuant to clause (a) above), provided that if any such adjustment of Modified Special Casualty Values would cause the Maximum Drawing Amount for any period to exceed the Maximum Credit Amount for such period, the Maximum Credit Amount shall apply for such period and provided further that adjustments pursuant to this clause (b) shall be effective automatically upon receipt by us of a notice from you in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto. Upon surrender of this Letter of Credit together with a notice in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto, we will promptly issue an irrevocable transferable letter of credit containing a revised Schedule II-B reflecting the adjustments contained in such notice and in all other respects identical to this Letter of Credit. Funds under this Letter of Credit are available to you against presentation on or prior to the Termination Date of (a) your draft in the form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto and (b) a completed certificate signed by you in the form of Exhibit 3 attached hereto.
