                                 FACILITY LEASE


                  FACILITY  LEASE,  dated as of December 16,  1985,  between THE
FIRST  NATIONAL  BANK OF BOSTON,  a  national  banking  association,  not in its
individual capacity, but solely as Owner Trustee under a Trust Agreement,  dated
as of December 16, 1985,  with Burnham  Leasing  Corporation  (the Lessor),  and
PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NEW MEXICO, a New Mexico, corporation (the Lessee).


                              W I T N E S S E T H :

                  WHEREAS,  the Lessor owns the Undivided  Interest and the Real
Property Interest;

                  WHEREAS,  the Lessee  desires to lease the Undivided  Interest
and the Real Property  Interest from the Lessor on the terms and  conditions set
forth herein; and

                  WHEREAS, the Lessor is willing to lease the Undivided Interest
and the Real  Property  Interest to the Lessee on the terms and  conditions  set
forth herein;

                  NOW THEREFORE,  in  consideration of the premises and of other
good and valuable  consideration,  receipt and  sufficiency  of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                  SECTION 1. Definitions.

                  For purposes hereof,  capitalized terms used herein shall have
the  meanings  assigned  to such  terms in  Appendix  A and  Schedule  1 hereto.
References in this  Facility  Lease to sections,  paragraphs  and clauses are to
sections,  paragraphs  and  clauses  in this  Facility  Lease  unless  otherwise
indicated.

                  SECTION  2.  Lease  of  Undivided  Interest;   Term;  Personal
Property.

                  (a) Lease of Undivided Interest. Upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of this Facility Lease,  the Lessor hereby agrees to lease to the
Lessee,  and the Lessee  hereby  agrees to lease from the Lessor,  the Undivided
Interest.


6091.20.2898.47:1
                                      - 1 -



                  (b) Term.  The term of this Facility  Lease shall begin on the
Closing Date and shall end on the last day of the Lease Term.

                  (c)  Personal  Property.  It is the express  intention  of the
Lessor and the Lessee that title to the  Undivided  Interest  and every  portion
thereof  is  severed,  and shall be and remain  severed,  from title to the real
estate  constituting  the Real Property  Interest and the PANGS Site. The Lessor
and the Lessee  intend that the Undivided  Interest  shall  constitute  personal
property to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

                  SECTION 3. Rent; Adjustments to Rent.

                  (a) Basic Rent.  The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor,  as basic
rent  (herein  referred  to as  Basic  Rent)  for the  Undivided  Interest,  the
following amounts:

                           (i) on January 15, 1986, an amount equal to the daily
                  equivalent  of Basic  Rent (set forth in  Schedule  1) payable
                  pursuant to clause (ii) below, from and including December 31,
                  1985 to but excluding  January 15, 1986 plus or minus the Rent
                  Differential, if any, referred to in Section 3(h);

                           (ii) on July 15, 1986 and on each Basic Rent  payment
                  Date  thereafter to and including  January 15, 2015, an amount
                  equal to the  percentage of facility  Cost set forth  opposite
                  such Basic Rent  Payment  Date on Schedule 2 plus or minus the
                  Rent Differential, if any, referred to in Section 3(h); and

                           (iii) if the Lessee shall elect the Renewal  Term, on
                  July 15, 2015 and on each Basic Rent Payment  Date  thereafter
                  during the  Renewal  Term,  an amount  equal to one-half of an
                  amount  determined  by dividing  the amount of all payments of
                  Basic  Rent  payable  with  respect  to the Basic  Lease  Term
                  pursuant  to clause (ii) of this  Section  3(a)  (taking  into
                  account any adjustments pursuant to Sections 3(d) and 3(e) and
                  any increases and decreases pursuant to Section 3(h)), by 58.

If an interest payment on the Initial Series Note (and the Releveraging Note, if
then  outstanding)  shall be due on a date other than a Basic Rent Payment Date,
the Lessee shall pay  additional  Basic Rent on such date equal to such interest


6091.20.2898.47:1
                                      - 2 -





payment and such payment of additional  Basic Rent shall be credited against the
Basic Rent due on the Basic Rent Payment Date next succeeding the date that such
additional Basic Rent shall have been paid.

                  (b)  Supplemental  Rent.  The Lessee  shall pay the  following
amounts (herein referred to as Supplemental Rent):

                           (i) when due or, where no due date is  specified,  on
                  demand,  any amount  (other than Basic Rent,  Casualty  Value,
                  Termination Value and Special Casualty Value) which the Lessee
                  assumes the  obligation to pay or agrees to pay to the Lessor,
                  the Owner Participant,  the Indenture Trustee,  the Collateral
                  Trust Trustee or any Indemnitee under this Facility Lease, any
                  other  Transaction  Document or the Collateral Trust Indenture
                  and any  amount  which the  Lessor is  obligated  to pay under
                  Section 6.9, 7.6 or 8.7 of the Indenture;

                           (ii)  when  due  any  amount  payable   hereunder  as
                  Casualty Value,  Termination  Value or Special Casualty Value,
                  and any  premium or  prepayment  penalty  with  respect to the
                  Notes;

                           (iii) on demand  and in any  event on the Basic  Rent
                  Payment Date next  succeeding  the date such amounts  shall be
                  due  and  payable  hereunder,   to  the  extent  permitted  by
                  Applicable  Law,  interest  (computed  on the  same  basis  as
                  interest on the Notes is  computed)  at a rate per annum equal
                  to (A) the  Overdue  Interest  Rate,  on that  portion  of the
                  payment  of  Basic  Rent or  Supplemental  Rent  distributable
                  pursuant to clause  "first" of Section 5.1 or clause  "second"
                  of  Section  5.3 of the  Indenture  (determined  prior  to the
                  computation  of  interest on overdue  payments  referred to in
                  such clauses), and (B) the Penalty Rate, on the balance of any
                  such payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent (including, in
                  the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii) above, but without
                  limitation,   to  the  extent  permitted  by  Applicable  Law,
                  interest  payable pursuant to this clause (iii)) not paid when
                  due (without regard to any period of grace) for any period for
                  which the same shall be overdue.

                                      - 3 -





The Lessor  shall have all  rights,  powers and  remedies  provided  for in this
Facility  Lease,  at law, in equity  orotherwise,  in the case of non-payment of
Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent.

                  (c) Form of Payment. Subject to Section 11(b), each payment of
Rent under this Facility Lease shall be made in immediately  available  funds no
later than 11:00 a.m., local time at the place of receipt, on the date each such
payment  shall be due and payable  hereunder and shall be paid either (A) in the
case of  payments  other than  Expected  Payments,  to the Lessor at its address
determined in accordance with Section 17, or at such other address as the Lessor
may direct by notice in writing to the  Lessee,  or (B) in the case of  Excepted
Payments,  to such Person as shall be entitled to receive  such  payment at such
address as such  Person may  direct by notice in writing to the  Lessee.  If the
date on which any payment of Rent is due hereunder  shall not be a Business Day,
the  payment  otherwise  due thereon  shall be due and payable on the  preceding
Business  Day,  with the same  force and  effect as if paid on the  normal  date
provided in this Facility Lease.

                  (d)  Adjustments  to Rent.  Basic  Rent and the  schedules  of
Casualty Values,  Termination Values and Special Casualty Values attached hereto
shall be adjusted  (upward or downward) to preserve Net Economic Return if there
is any change in the Code or successor  legislation  enacted by the Ninety-ninth
Congress  or if there is adopted,  promulgated,  issued or  published,  prior to
January 15, 1997, proposed,  temporary or final regulations  resulting therefrom
(regardless of the effective date of such  regulations)  herein referred to as a
Change in Tax Law).  Adjustments  under this paragraph (d) shall be (1) made not
more than once a year and (2) limited in the  aggregate  to the extent,  if any,
necessary such that aggregate  amount of Basic Rent  theretofore  and thereafter
payable  throughout the Basic Lease Term (computed for such purpose only without
regard to any  adjustments  theretofore  made  pursuant to Section  3(e) or 3(h)
shall not be more than 11% upward and 10% downward from the aggregate  amount of
Basic Rent payable throughout the Basic Lease Term (computed as aforesaid) prior
to any  adjustment  theretofore  made pursuant to this Section  3(d);  provided,
however,  that no downward  adjustment  shall be made hereunder unless and until
the aggregate amount of all such downward  adjustments  shall exceed 1% and then
only to the extent such  aggregate  exceeds 1% (resulting in a maximum  downward
adjustment of 10%).  The  foregoing  11% maximum,  10% minimum and 1% "deadband"
limitations  were  determined  on the basis of an assumed  interest  rate on the
Notes  set forth in  Schedule  1  hereunto  and are  subject  to  adjustment  in


6091.20.2898.47:1
                                      - 4 -





connection  with any  refunding  of the Initial  Series Note to provide the same
protection to the Owner  Participant  and the Lessee as provided in the original
calculations thereof by the Owner Participant.

                  The   provisions   of  this   Section  3(d)  to  the  contrary
notwithstanding,  if any  Change in Tax Law is, or  becomes,  applicable  to the
transaction  contemplated  by this Facility Lease in consequence of the transfer
of the Owner  Participant's  beneficial  interest  in the Trust  (whether or not
permitted by Section 15 of the Participation Agreement) or if such Change in Tax
Law would not have been  applicable  to such  transaction  had no such  transfer
occurred,  then no  adjustment  shall be, or be required to be, made pursuant to
this paragraph (d); provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to the
initial transfer of the Owner  Participants's  beneficial interest to one of its
Affiliates.

                  (e)  Further  Adjustments.  Basic  Rent and the  schedules  of
Casualty Values,  Special Casualty Values and Termination Values attached hereto
shall be adjusted  (upward or downward) to preserve Net Economic Return if there
is (i)  issuance  of the  Releveraging  Note or the Fixed  Rate  Note,  (ii) any
Supplemental  Financing,  (iii) the payment of Transaction Expenses in an amount
which is other than 1.1% of the Purchase Price or (iv) any change in the pricing
assumptions set forth in Schedule 2 to the Participation Agreement.

                  (f)  Computation  of  Adjustments.  Upon the  occurrence of an
event  requiring an adjustment to Basic Rent payable  pursuant to clause (ii) of
Section 3(a), and the schedules of Casualty Values,  Special Casualty Values and
Termination  Values  attached  hereto,  pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this
Section 3, the Owner  Participant  shall  make the  necessary  computations  and
furnish to the  Lessee,  the Loan  Participant,  the  Lessor  and the  Indenture
Trustee the revised amounts and percentages, which amounts and percentages shall
be implemented  upon delivery thereof and effective as of the date of occurrence
of the event requiring such adjustment (taking into account any payment of Basic
Rent already made) and shall remain  effective  until changed in  consequence of
any verification procedure set forth below. Such revised amounts and percentages
shall  be  subject  to  verification  (at the  Lessee's  request)  by the  Owner
Participant's  nationally  recognized  independent public accountants,  in which
case such  accountants  shall  either (i) confirm to the Lessee in writing  that
such  revised  amounts  were  computed on a basis  consistent  with the original


6091.20.2898.47:1
                                              - 5 -





calculations,  or (ii) compute and provide to the Lessee,  the Lessor, the Owner
Participant,  the Loan Participant and the Indenture Trustee revised amounts and
percentages  which are on such a basis. The revised amounts and percentages,  as
so confirmed or computed if applicable, shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Lessee,  the  Lessor,  the  Owner  Participant,  the  Loan  Participant  and the
Indenture  Trustee.  The  cost of any  such  verification  shall be borne by the
Lessee  unless  such  accountants  shall  require an  adjustment  to the revised
amounts  and  percentages  originally  provided by the Owner  Participant  which
greater than 10% of the adjustment so provided, in which case such cost shall be
divided and paid by the Lessee and the Owner Participant in equal amounts.  Each
adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 3 may, but need not,
be evidenced by the  execution  and  delivery of a supplement  to this  Facility
Lease  in  form  and  substance   satisfactory  to  the  Lessee  and  the  Owner
Participant,  but shall be effective as provided  herein  without  regard to the
date on  which  such  implement  to  this  Facility  Lease  is so  executed  and
delivered.  Any  adjustment  referred  to in this  Section 3 shall  satisfy  the
provisions of Revenue  Procedure  75-21,  Revenue  Procedure 75-28 and any other
applicable statute,  regulation,  revenue procedure, revenue ruling or technical
information release relating to the subject matter of Revenue Procedure 75-21 or
Revenue Procedure 75-28, but, in the case of any upward adjustment,  shall be no
less than the adjustment otherwise required pursuant to this Section 3.

                  (g)   Sufficiency  of  Basic  Rent  and   Supplemental   Rent.
Notwithstanding   any  other  provision  of  this  Facility  Lease,   any  other
Transaction  Document or any  Financing  Document,  (i) the amount of Basic Rent
payable on each Basic Rent Payment Date shall be at least equal to the aggregate
amount of principal,  premium,  if any, and accrued interest payable on al Notes
then Outstanding and (ii) each payment of Casualty Value, Special Casualty Value
and Termination Value shall in no event be less (when added to all other amounts
required to be paid by the Lessee  under this  Facility  Lease in respect of any
Event of Loss or Deemed Loss Event or termination  of this Facility  Lease) than
an amount  sufficient,  as of the date of payment,  to pay in full the principal
of, and premium, if any, and interest on all Notes Outstanding on and as of such
date of payment (taking into account any assumption of the Notes by the Lessee).

                  (h) Rent  Differential.  So long as the  Initial  Series  Note
shall be  outstanding,  each  installment  of Basic Rent shall be  increased  or
decreased, as the case may be, by the Rent Differential. For purposes hereof,

6091.20.2898.47:1
                                      - 6 -



Rent Differential  shall mean, as of any Basic Rent Payment Date, the difference
between (i) the aggregate  amount of interest due and payable on each Basic Rent
Payment  Date on the Initial  Series Note (and the  Releveraging  Note,  if then
outstanding), and (ii) the aggregate amount of interest that would have been due
and payable on such Basic Rent  Payment  Date on such Note or Notes if such Note
or Notes had at all times  during the relevant  period borne  interest at a rate
equal to 9.5% per  annum  (computed  on the  basis of a  360-day  year of twelve
30-day months). If, as of any Basic Rent Payment Date, (A) the amount determined
in accordance  with clause (i) of the  immediately  preceding  sentence shall be
greater  than the amount  determined  in  accordance  with  clause  (ii) of such
sentence,  the amount of Basic Rent due on such Basic Rent Payment Date shall be
increased by the Rent Differential,  and (B) the amount determined in accordance
with such clause (ii) shall exceed the amount determined in accordance with such
clause (i),  the amount of Basic Rent due on such Basic Rent  Payment Date shall
be decreased by the Rent Differential.

                  SECTION 4. Net Lease.

                  This Facility Lease (as  originally  executed and as modified,
supplemented and amended from time to time) is a net lease and the Lessee hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the Lessee's  obligation to pay all Rent hereunder,
and  the  rights  of  the  Lessor  in and  to  such  Rent,  shall  be  absolute,
unconditional  and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstances of
any  character,  including,  without  limitation,  (i) any  set-off,  abatement,
counterclaim, suspension, recoupment, reduction, defense or other right or claim
which the  Lessee  may have  against  the  Lessor,  the Owner  Participant,  the
Indenture  Trustee,  the Collateral  Trust Trustee,  the Loan  Participant,  the
Operating  Agent,  any ANPP  Participant,  any  vendor  or  manufacturer  of any
equipment  or assets  included in the  Undivided  Interest,  Unit 1, any Capital
Improvement,  the Real Property Interest,  the PANGS Site, PANGS, or any part of
any thereof,  or any other Person for any reason whatsoever,  (ii) any defect in
or failure of the title  merchantability,  condition,  design,  compliance  with
specifications, operation or fitness for use of all or any part of the Undivided
Interest, Unit 1, any Capital Improvement, the Real Property Interest, the PANGS
Site or PANGS, (iii) any damage to, or removal, abandonment,  shutdown, salvage,
scrapping, requisition, taking, loss, theft or destruction of all or any part of
the  Undivided  Interest,  Unit 1, any Capital  Improvement,  the Real  Property


6091.20.2898.47:1
                                      - 7 -





Interest,  the  PANGS  Site  or  PANGS,  or any  interference,  interruption  or
cessation in the use or possession  thereof or of the Undivided  Interest by the
Lessee or by any other Person (including,  but without limitation, the Operating
Agent or any other ANPP  Participant)  for any reason  whatsoever or of whatever
duration,  (iv) any  restriction,  prevention or curtailment of or  interference
with any use of all or any part of the Undivided  Interest,  Unit 1, any Capital
Improvement,  the Real  Property  Interest,  the PANGS  Site or  PANGS,  (v) any
insolvency,  bankruptcy,  reorganization or similar proceeding by or against the
Lessee, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral
Trust  Trustee,  the Loan  Participant,  the  Operating  Agent,  any other  ANPP
Participant   or  any  other  Person,   (vi)  the   invalidity,   illegality  or
unenforceabilty  of this Facility Lease,  any other  Transaction  Document,  any
Financing  Document,  the ANPP  Participation  Agreement or any other instrument
referred  to herein or therein or any other  infirmity  herein or therein or any
lack of  right,  power  or  authority  of the  Lessor,  the  Lessee,  the  Owner
Participant,  the Indenture  Trustee,  the Collateral  Trust  Trustee,  the Loan
Participant  or any other Person to enter into this  Facility  Lease,  any other
Transaction  Document  or any  Financing  Document,  or any  doctrine  of  force
majeure,  impossibility,  frustration,  failure of consideration, or any similar
legal or equitable doctrine that the Lessee's  obligation to pay Rent is excused
because  the Lessee has not  received  or will not receive the benefit for which
the Lessee bargained, it being the intent of the Lessee to assume all risks from
all causes  whatsoever that the Lessee does not receive such benefit,  (vii) the
breach or failure of any warranty or representation  made in this Facility Lease
or any other Transaction  Document or any Financing  Document by the Lessor, the
Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Trust Trustee, the Loan
Participant or any other Person, (viii) any amendment or other change of, or any
assignment of rights under, this Facility Lease, any other Transaction Document,
any Financing Document or any ANPP Project Agreement,  or any waiver,  action or

Document, any Financing Document or any ANPP Project Agreement,  or any exercise
or  non-exercise  of any right or remedy under this  Facility  Lease,  any other
Transaction  Document,  any  Financing  Document or any ANPP Project  Agreement,
including,  without limitation,  the exercise of any foreclosure or other remedy
under the Indenture,  the Collateral  Trust Indenture or this Facility Lease, or
the sale of Unit 1, any Capital  Improvement,  the Undivided Interest,  the Real
Property Interest,  the PANGS Site or PANGS, or any part thereof of any interest

                                      - 8 -





therein,  or (ix) any other circumstance or happening  whatsoever whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing.  The Lessee  acknowledges that by conveying the
leasehold estate created by this Facility Lease to the Lessee and by putting the
Lessee in possession of the Undivided  Interest and the Real Property  Interest,

this Facility Lease,  except the covenant that the Lessor and Persons acting for
the Lessor will not interfere with the Lessee's quiet enjoyment of the Undivided
Interest and the Real Property Interest. The Lessee hereby waives, to the extent
permitted by  Applicable  Law, any and all rights which it may now have or which
at any time  hereafter  may be conferred  upon it, by statute or  otherwise,  to
terminate,  cancel,  quit or surrender this Facility Lease or to effect or claim
any diminution or reduction of Rent payable by the Lessee  hereunder,  including

each  installment  of Basic  Rent  and all  Supplemental  Rent at the time  such
payment  would have become due and payable in  accordance  with the terms hereof

8(c) of the  Participation  Agreement  to the contrary  notwithstanding,  if the
Lessee  shall fail to make any  payment  of Rent to any  Person  when and as due
(taking into account applicable grace periods), such Person shall have the right
at all times, to the exclusion of the ANPP Participants, to demand, collect, sue
for,  enforce  obligations  relating to and otherwise  obtain all amounts due in
respect of such Rent.

efforts  to lease or  dispose  of the  Undivided  Interest  including  using the
Lessee's reasonable efforts to lease or dispose of the Undivided  Interest.  The
Lessor agrees to reimburse  the Lessee for  reasonable  out-of-pocket  costs and
expenses  of the  Lessee  incurred  at the  request  of the  Lessor or the Owner
Participant in connection with such cooperation and such efforts.

Facility  Lease,  and the Lessee  acknowledges  and agrees  that (i) NEITHER THE

ANY LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,  WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE,  NOR SHALL THE LESSOR
OR THE OWNER  PARTICIPANT  BE LIABLE FOR  INCIDENTAL  OR  CONSEQUENTIAL  DAMAGES
(INCLUDING  LIABILITY IN TORT,  STRICT OR  OTHERWISE),  it being agreed that all
such risks, as among the Owner Participant, the Loan Participant, the Collateral
Trust Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Lessor and the Lessee, are to be borne
by the Lessee.  The provisions of this Section 6(b) have been  negotiated,  and,

provisions  are  intended  to  be a  complete  exclusion  and  negation  of  any
representations  or warranties by the Lessor,  the Owner  Participant,  the Loan
Participant,  the Collateral Trust Trustee or the Indenture Trustee,  express or

Lessee's expense, to assert for the Lessor's account, during the Lease Term, all
of the  Lessor's  rights (if any) under any  applicable  warranty  and any other
claims (under this Facility  Lease or any Purchase  Document) that the Lessee or
the Lessor may have  against any vendor or  manufacturer  with respect to Unit 1
(including any Capital  Improvement) or the Undivided  Interest,  and the Lessor
agrees to cooperate,  at the Lessee's expense, with the Lessee and the Operating
Agent in asserting such rights.  Any amount  receivable  (without  regard to any
right of setoff or other similar right of any Person  against the Lessee) by the
Lessee as payment  under any such  warranty or other claim against any vendor or
manufacturer  (or, if such warranty or claim  relates to the Undivided  Interest
and the  Retained  Assets,  the portion of such  received  amount  appropriately
allocable  to the  Undivided  Interest)  shall be  applied  in  accordance  with
Sections 9(g), (h) and (i).

                  The Lessee will not  directly  or  indirectly  create,  incur,
assume or permit to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Undivided Interest,
the Real Property  Interest,  the Lessor's  title thereto or any interest of the
Lessor or Lessee therein (and the Lessee will promptly, at its own expense, take

Permitted Liens.

                  SECTION 8.  Operation and Maintenance; Capital Improvements.

commercial  operation,  the functions and substantially at the ratings for which
it was designed,  (B) operate,  service,  maintain and repair Unit 1 and replace
all necessary or useful parts and  components  thereof so that the condition and

relating to all Operating Funds (as defined in the ANPP Participation Agreement)
provided by it to the Operating Agent under the ANPP Participation Agreement and
(ii)  upon  receipt  of the  requisite  information  from the  Operating  Agent,
relating  to the  application  of such  Operating  Funds  to the  operation  and
maintenance of Unit 1 and the  acquisition,  construction  and  installation  of
Capital Improvements, all in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts. The
Lessor shall not be obliged in any way to maintain,  alter,  repair,  rebuild or
replace  Unit 1, any Capital  Improvement,  the  Undivided  Interest or the Real
Property Interest,  or any part thereof, or, except as provided in Section 8(f),
to pay the cost of alteration, rebuilding, replacement, repair or maintenance of
Unit 1, any Capital  Improvement,  the  Undivided  Interest or the Real Property
Interest,  or any part  thereof,  and the Lessee  expressly  waives the right to
perform any such action at the expense of the Lessor  pursuant to any law at any
time in effect.

                  (b)  Inspection.  The  Lessor,  the  Owner  Participant,   the
Indenture  Trustee  and the  Collateral  Trust  Trustee  shall have the right to
inspect PANGS  (subject,  in each event,  to the ANPP  Participation  Agreement,
Applicable  Law,   applicable   confidentiality   undertakings   and  procedures
established by the Operating  Agent) at their expense.  The Lessor and the Owner
Participant  shall have the right to inspect,  at their  expense,  the books and
records  of the  Lessee  relating  to PANGS,  and make  copies  of and  extracts
therefrom (subject as aforesaid) and may, at their expense, discuss the Lessee's
affairs,  finances and accounts with its executive  officers and its independent
public   accountants  (and  by  this  provision,   the  Lessee  authorizes  such
accountants,  in the presence of the Lessee,  to discuss with the Lessor and the
Owner Participant and their respective  authorized  representatives the affairs,
finances and  accounts of the Lessee),  all at such times and as often as may be

Trustee and the Collateral  Trust Trustee shall have any duty whatsoever to make
any  inspection or inquiry  referred to in this Section 8(b) and shall not incur
any  liability  or  obligation  by reason of not making any such  inspection  or
inquiry.

                  (c) Capital Improvements. If and to the extent required by the
ANPP Participation  Agreement,  the Lessee shall, at its sole expense,  promptly
participate  in the making of any Capital  Improvement  to Unit 1. The Undivided
Interest  Percentage  of the net  proceeds of any sale or other  disposition  of
property  removed from Unit 1 receivable  (without regard to any right of setoff


6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 14 -





or other similar right of any Person against  the  Lessee) by or credited to the
account of the Lessee in accordance  with the ANPP  Participation  Agreement and
any  insurance  proceeds  receivable  (without  regard to any right of setoff or
other  similar  right of any Person  against  the Lessee) for the account of the
Lessor or the  Lessee in  respect  of the loss or  destruction  of, or damage or
casualty to, any such property shall be applied as provided in Section 9(g), (h)
or (i),  as the case  may be.  An  undivided  interest  equal  to the  Undivided
Interest Percentage in property at any time removed from Unit 1 shall remain the
property of the Lessor,  no matter where  located,  until such time as a Capital
Investment constituting a replacement of such property shall have been installed
in Unit 1 or such removed  property has been disposed of by the Operating  Agent
in accordance with the ANPP Participation  Agreement.  Simultaneously  with such
disposition by the Operating Agent,  title to the Lessor's undivided interest in
the removed property shall vest in the Person designated by the Operating Agent,
free  and  clear  of  any  and  all  claims  or  rights  of the  Lessor.  Unless
subparagraph (3) of Section 8(e) shall be applicable,  upon the incorporation of
a Capital  Improvement in Unit 1, without further act, (i) title to an undivided
interest equal to the Undivided Interest  Percentage in such Capital Improvement
shall  vest in the  Lessor  and (ii) such  undivided  interest  in such  Capital
Improvement shall become subject to this Facility Lease and be deemed to be part
of the  Undivided  Interest for all purposes  hereof to the same extent that the
Lessor had an undivided  interest in the  property  originally  incorporated  or
installed in Unit 1. The Lessee  warrants and agrees that the Lessor's  interest
in all  Capital  Improvements  shall be free  and  clear  of all  Liens,  except
Permitted  Liens other than the type specified in clauses (ii),  (iii) and (xii)
of the definition thereof.

                  (d)  Reports.  To the extent  permissible,  the  Lessee  shall
prepare and file in timely  fashion,  or,  where the Lessor shall be required to
file,  the Lessee  shall  prepare and deliver to the Lessor  within a reasonable
time  prior to the date for  filing,  any  reports  with  respect to Unit 1, the
Undivided  Interest or the Real Property  Interest or the condition or operation
thereof that shall be required to be filed with any  governmental  or regulatory
authority.  On or before March 1 of each year and on the Lease Termination Date,
the Lessee  shall  furnish  the Lessor and the Owner  Participant  with a report
stating the total cost of all Capital Improvements and describing separately and
in  reasonable  detail each  Capital  Improvement  (or related  group of Capital

in the case of the first such  report or during  the period  from the end of the
period  covered by the last  previous  report to the  December  31 prior to such
report in the case of  subsequent  reports.  On or  before  March 1 in each year
(commencing  March 1, 1986) and at such  other  times as the Lessor or the Owner
Participant  shall reasonably  request in writing (which request shall provide a
reasonable period for response), the Lessee will report in writing to the Lessor
with respect to (i) the most recent annual capital  expenditure budget submitted
by the Operating Agent to the Lessee in accordance  with the ANPP  Participation
Agreement  and (ii) the then  plans (if any)  which the  Lessee may have for the
financing of the same under Section 8(f).

                  (e)  Title to  Capital  Improvements.  Title  to an  undivided
interest,   equal  to  the  Undivided  Interest  Percentage,   in  each  Capital
Improvement to Unit 1 shall vest as follows:

                (1)  in the  case  of  each  Nonseverable  Capital  Improvement,
whether or not the Lessor shall have financed or provided financing (in whole or
in  part)  for  such  undivided  interest  in  such  Capital  Improvement  by an
Additional Equity Investment or a Supplemental  Financing, or both, effective on
the date such Capital  Improvement  shall have been incorporated or installed in
Unit 1, the Lessor shall,  without further act,  acquire title to such undivided
interest in such Capital Improvement;

                (2) in the case of each Severable  Capital  Improvement,  if the
Lessor shall have financed (by an Additional Equity Investment or a Supplemental
Financing,  or  both)  the  Undivided  Interest  Percentage  of the cost of such
Capital  Improvement,  the Lessor shall,  without further act,  acquire title to
such undivided interest in such Capital Improvement; and

                (3) in the case of each Severable  Capital  Improvement,  if the
Lessor shall not have financed (by either an Additional  Equity  Investment or a
Supplemental  Financing,  or both) the Undivided Interest Percentage of the cost
of such Capital  Improvement,  the Lessee  shall retain title to such  undivided
interest.

                                     - 16 -



                  Immediately  upon  title  to such  undivided  interest  in any
Capital  Improvement  vesting in the Lessor  pursuant  to  sub-paragraph  (1) or
sub-paragraph (2) of this Section 8(e), such undivided  interest in such Capital
Improvement  shall,  without  further act, become subject to this Facility Lease
and be deemed part of the  Undivided  Interest  and Unit 1 and for all  purposes
hereof.

                  (f)  Funding  of the  Cost  of  Capital  Improvements.  Before
placing in service any Capital  Improvement  to Unit 1 the cost of which exceeds
$100,000,000  in respect of the interests of all ANPP  Participants,  the Lessee
shall  give the  Lessor  and the Owner  Participant  reasonable  advance  notice
thereof. The Owner Participant shall have the option, in its sole discretion, of
financing  through the Lessor the cost of any such Capital  Improvement,  or any
other Capital  Improvement  presented to the Owner  Participation for financing,
including or not including the making of an investment by the Owner  Participant
(an Additional  Equity  Investment)  and the issuance of one or more  Additional
Notes, all on terms acceptable to the Lessee and the Owner  Participant.  If the
Owner  Participant  does not finance,  or arrange the  financing of, the cost of
such Capital  Improvement,  the Lessee may cause the Lessor to issue,  if and to
the extent  permitted by the  Indenture,  to one or more Persons (other than any
Person affiliated with the Lessee within the meaning of Section 318 of the Code)
one or more Additional  Notes and to use the proceeds thereof to pay the cost of
such Capital Improvement, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

calendar  year  shall  equal or exceed  the  Undivided  Interest  Percentage  of
$5,000,000;

                (iii) the Lessee may include in any  request for a  Supplemental
Financing only Capital  Improvements not previously financed in any Supplemental
Financing  and which  have been  installed  or  affixed  no  earlier  than three
calendar  years  before  the  beginning  of the  calendar  year  in  which  such
Supplemental Financing occurs;



6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 17 -





                  (iv) the total amount of all Supplemental Financing during the
Basic  Lease  Term  shall  not  exceed  the  Undivided  Interest  Percentage  of
$100,000,000;

                (v) unless waived by the Owner Participant, the Bonds issued and
outstanding  under the Collateral  Trust  Indenture  shall be rated no less than
"investment  grade", as determined by Standard & Poor's  Corporation and Moody's
Investors Service, Inc.;

                (vi) the  Supplemental  Financing  Amount  shall not exceed that
portion  of  the  cost  of  Capital  Improvements  which,  when  financed,  will
constitute  an addition to the Owner  Participant's  basis under section 1012 of
the Code;

                (vii) in the  opinion of  independent  tax  counsel to the Owner
Participant,  such  Supplemental  Financing  shall  not  result in  adverse  tax
consequences  to the Owner  Participant  or adversely  affect the status of this
Facility  Lease as a "true  lease"  for  Federal  tax  purposes,  and the  Owner
Participant  and the  Lessor  shall  have  agreed  upon the amount and manner of
payment of any indemnity (if any) payable by the Lessee as a consequence of such
Supplemental Financing;

                  (viii) the  Additional  Notes shall have a final maturity date
no later than January 15, 2015;

                (if) the Lessee shall have made such representations, warranties
and covenants  regarding the tax  characteristics  of each undivided interest in
each  Capital  Improvement  as  the  Owner  Participant  requests  and  the  Tax
Indemnification Agreement shall have been appropriately modified;

                (x)  appropriate  adjustments to Basic Rent and the schedules of
Casualty Values,  Special Casualty Values and Termination Values shall have been
agreed to by the Owner Participant;

                                     - 18 -




                  (xi) The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to all
out-of-pocket  costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Lessor or the Owner
Participant not financed as a part of such  Supplemental  Financing or reflected
in adjustments to Basic Rent;

                  (xii) no Default or Event of Default  shall have  occurred and
be continuing; and

                (xiii) the Lessee  shall  enter into such  agreements  and shall
provide such tax indemnities, representations,  warranties, covenants, opinions,
certificates  and other  documents  as the Owner  Participant  shall  reasonably
request.

                  (g) Useful  Life.  If the Lessee  shall not  theretofore  have
exercised its option under Section 13 to purchase the Undivided Interest and the
Real  Property  Interest,  then (i) if the  Lessee  shall not  theretofore  have
exercised  its option to renew the Lease  pursuant to Section 12, on January 15,
2014,  the Lessee shall  initiate  the  Appraisal  Procedure  to  determine  the
remaining  economic  useful  life of Unit 1 as of July 15,  2014 and (ii) on the
Rent Payment Date  occurring  one year prior to the end of the Renewal  Term, if
any,  the Lessee  shall  initiate  the  Appraisal  Procedure  to  determine  the
remaining  economic useful life of Unit 1 as of the date six months prior to the
end of the  Renewal  Term.  The Lessee  and the  Lessor  agree to use their best
efforts to ensure that such  determination of remaining  economic useful life is
made no later than July 15,  2014 (in the case of the first such  determination)
and six months  prior to the end of the Renewal  Term (in the case of the second
such determination).

                  SECTION 9. Event of Loss; Deemed Loss Event.

                  (a) Damage or Loss. In the event that Section 16.2 of the ANPP
Participation  Agreement  (as  in  effect  on  the  date  hereof)  shall  become
applicable,  or an Event of Loss, a Requisition of Use or a Requisition of Title
shall occur, or Unit 1 or any substantial part thereof shall suffer destruction,
damage,  loss,  condemnation,  confiscation,  theft or  seizure  for any  reason
whatsoever,  such fact shall promptly, and in any case within five Business Days
of any such  event,  be  reported  by the  Lessee  to the  Lessor  and the Owner
Participant.

                  (b)  Repair.  The  Lessee  shall  promptly  make  any  and all
payments  required of the Lessee under the provisions of the ANPP  Participation
Agreement relating to damage or destruction or the like to Unit 1 or any portion
thereof; provided, however, that the Lessee shall

                                     - 19 -





in no event be obligated to make or join in any agreement  under Section 16.2 of
the ANPP  Participation  Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof)  concerning
repairs to or reconstruction of Unit 1.

                  (c) Payment of Casualty  Value. On the Basic Rent Payment Date
next  following the  occurrence of an Event of Loss, the Lessee shall pay to the
Lessor all Basic Rent due on such Basic Rent Payment Date,  plus an amount equal
to the excess of (i)  Casualty  Value  determined  as of such Basic Rent Payment
Date, plus an amount equal to the execww of (i) Casualty Value  determined as of
such Basic Rent Payment Date over (ii) the unpaid  principal amount of the Notes
Outstanding  on such date after  giving  effect to the  payment,  if any, of the
principal  installment  due and payable on such date. Upon compliance in full by
the Lessee with the foregoing  provisions of this Section 9(c) and assumption by
the Lessee of all the obligations and liabilities of the Owner Trustee under the
Indenture and the Notes pursuant to Section 3.9(b) of the Indenture,  the Lessor
shall (so long as no  Default or Event of Default  shall  have  occurred  and be
continuing),  and at any time  after  the  occurrence  of an Event of Loss,  the
Lessor may:

                (1) in the  case  of an  Event  of  Loss  arising  from a  Final
Shutdown,  if the Lessee shall have declined,  but one or more of the other ANPP
Participants shall have elected,  to reconstruct or restore Unit 1, as permitted
by the ANPP  Participation  Agreement,  Transfer the Undivided  Interest and the
Real Property Interest to such electing ANPP Participants, as required by and in
the proportions set forth in the ANPP Participation Agreement, in which case the
Lessee shall be entitled to receive the portion of the "salvage  value" purchase
price allocable to the Undivided Interest; or

                  (2) if  clause  (1)  shall  not be  applicable,  Transfer  the
Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest to the Lessee.

If the Lessee shall not have assumed all the  obligations and liabilities of the
Owner  Trustee  under the  Indenture  and the Notes in  accordance  with Section
3.9(b) of the  Indenture,  but  shall  have paid all  amounts  required  by this
Section  9(c),  the Lessor  shall  retain the  Undivided  Interest  and the Real
Property  Interest  subject to the terms of this Facility Lease and Section 7(b)
(4) of the Participation Agreement;  provided,  however, that (i) the obligation


6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 20 -





of the  Lessee to pay  further  Basic Rent shall be reduced to an amount on each
Basic Rent Payment Date equal to the aggregate amount of the principal, premium,
if any, and accrued interest then payable on all Notes then Outstanding and (ii)
this  Facility  Lease  shall  become a security  agreement  for all  purposes of
Applicable Law.

                  (d) Payment of Special  Casualty Value. If a Deemed Loss Event
occurs,  the party hereto having knowledge  thereof and, at the Lessor's option,
on the day of the month  (specified  in  Schedule  4) next  following  the month
during which the Deemed Loss Event occurs, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on
such day an amount equal to the excess of (i) Special  Casualty Value determined
as of the date such payment is due over (ii) the  principal  amount of the Notes
Outstanding  on such date after  giving  effect to the  payment,  if any, of the
principal instalment due and payable on such day. Upon compliance in full by the
Lessee with the foregoing  provisions of this Section 9(d) and assumption by the
Lessee of all the  obligations  and  liabilities  of the Owner Trustee under the
Indenture and the Notes pursuant to Section 3.9(b) of the Indenture,  the Lessor
shall (so long as no  Default or Event of Default  shall  have  occurred  and be
continuing),  and at any time after the  occurrence of a Deemed Loss Event,  the
Lessor may,  Transfer the Undivided  Interest and the Real Property  Interest to
the  Lessee.  If the  Lessee  shall not have  assumed  all the  liabilities  and
obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Indenture and the Notes in accordance
with Section 3.9(b) of the Indenture but shall have paid all amounts required by
this Section 9(d),  the Lessor shall retain the Undivided  Interest and the Real
Property  Interest  subject to the terms of this Facility Lease and Section 7(b)
(4) of the Participation Agreement;  provided,  however, that (i) the obligation
of the  Lessee to pay  further  Basic Rent shall be reduced to an amount on each
Basic Rent Payment Date equal to the aggregate amount of principal,  premium, if
any, and accrued  interest then payable on all Notes  Outstanding  and (ii) this
Facility Lease shall become a security  agreement for all purposes of Applicable
Law.

                  (e)  Requisition  of Use. In the case of a Requisition  of Use
not constituting an Event of Loss, this Facility Lease shall continue,  and each
and every obligation of the Lessee hereunder and under each Transaction Document
shall remain in full force and effect. So long as no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing,  the Lessee shall be entitled to all sums
received by reason of any such  Requisition  of Use for the period ending on the


6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 21 -





Lease Termination Date, and the Lessor shall be entitled to all sums received by
reason of any such Requisition of Use for the period after the Lease Termination
Date.

                  (f)  Termination  of  Obligation.  Until the Lessee shall have
made the payments  specified in Section 9(c) or 9(d),  the Lessee shall make all
payments of Rent when due; and the Lessee shall  thereafter  be required to make
all payments of Supplemental  Rent as and when due. In the event that the Lessee
shall assume all the  obligations and liabilities of the Owner Trustee under the
Indenture  and the Notes  pursuant  to  Section  3.9(b) of the  Indenture,  upon
payment by the Lessee of the payments  specified in Section 9(c) or 9(d) and all
Rent due and owing through and including  the date of payment  (including  Basic
Rent due on or accrued  through  such date,  as the case may be), the Lease Term
shall end and the Lessee's obligation to pay further Basic Rent shall cease.

                  (g)  Application of Payments on an Event of Loss. Any payments
receivable  (without regard to any right of setoff or other similar right of any
Person  against the Lessee) at any time by the Lessor or the Lessee  (other than
insurance  placed by the Owner  Trustee  or the Owner  Participant  pursuant  to
Section 10(b)) from any governmental authority,  insurer or other Person (except
the Lessee) as a result of the  occurrence  of an Event of Loss shall be applied
as follows:

                  (i) all such payments received at any time by the Lessee shall
be  promptly  paid to the  Lessor  for  application  pursuant  to the  following
provisions of this Section  9(g),  except that the Lessee may retain any amounts
that  would at the time be  payable  to the  Lessee as  reimbursement  under the
provisions of clause (ii) below;

                  (ii) so much of such  payments  as shall not exceed the amount
required to be paid by the Lessee pursuant to Section 9(c)  (ignoring,  for this
purpose,  clause  (ii) of the  first  sentence  thereof)  shall  be  applied  in
reduction of the Lessee's  obligation  to pay such amount if not already paid by
the Lessee or, if already paid by the Lessee,  shall be applied to reimburse the
Lessee for its payment of such amount; and

                  (iii)  the  balance,   if  any,  of  such  payments  remaining
thereafter shall be divided between the Lessor and the Lessee as their interests
may appear.



6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 22 -



                  (h)  Application of Payments Not Relating to an Event of Loss.
Payments  receivable  (without  regard to any  right of setoff or other  similar
right of any Person  against the  Lessee) at any time by the Lessor  (other than
insurance  placed by the Owner  Trustee  or the Owner  Participant  pursuant  to
Section 10(b)) or the Lessee from any Governmental  Authority,  insurer or other
Person  with   respect  to  any   destruction,   damage,   loss,   condemnation,
confiscation,  theft or seizure of or  Requisition of Title to or Requisition of
Use of Unit 1 or any part  thereof  not  constituting  an Event of Loss shall be
applied first to reimburse the Lessee for all amounts expended in respect of the
repair,  replacement or reconstruction of Unit 1 or any part thereof as provided
in Section  9(b),  and second the  balance,  if any, of such  payments  shall be
divided between the Lessor and the Lessee as their interests may appear.

                  (i)  Other   Dispositions.   Notwithstanding   the   foregoing
provisions  of this  Section 9, so long as a Default  or Event of Default  shall
have occurred and be continuing,  any amount that would  otherwise be payable to
or for the  account  of, or that  would  otherwise  be  retained  by, the Lessee
pursuant to Section 10 or this Section 9 shall be paid to the Lessor as security
for the  obligations  of the Lessee under this Facility  Lease and, at such time
thereafter  as no Default or Event of Default shall be  continuing,  such amount
shall be paid  promptly  to the Lessee  unless  this  Facility  Lease shall have
theretofore been declared to be in default,  in which event such amount shall be
disposed of in accordance  with the provisions  hereof,  of the Indenture and of
the Trust Agreement.

                  (j)  Assumption  of  Notes;  Creation  of  Lien  on  Undivided
Interest.  In  connection  with an  Event of Loss,  a Deemed  Loss  Event or the
exercise of the Cure  Option,  (i) the Lessee  agrees to use its best efforts to
comply with the conditions  respecting its assumption of all the obligations and
liabilities  of the Owner Trustee under the Indenture and the Notes set forth in
Section 3.9(b) of the Indenture,  and (ii) the Lessor agrees that, if the Lessee
fails to assume all the  obligations  and liabilities of the Owner Trustee under
the Indenture and the Notes in accordance  with Section 3.9(b) of the Indenture,
not later  than two  Business  Days  prior to the date on which the Lessee is to
acquire the Owner Participant's interest in the Trust Estate pursuant to Section


6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 23 -





7(b) (4) of the  Participation  Agreement,  the Lessor will cause the  Undivided
Interest  and the Real  Property  Interest  to be  subjected  to the Lien of the
Indenture by executing and  delivering  to the  Indenture  Trustee the Undivided
Interest Indenture Supplement.

                  SECTION 10.  Insurance.

                  (a) Required  Insurance.  The Lessee will use its best efforts
to cause the Operating Agent to carry and maintain  insurance required under the
ANPP  Participation  Agreement and will make all payments required of the Lessee
under the ANPP Participation Agreement in respect of such insurance.  The Lessee
will at all times maintain, directly or through the Operating Agent, policies of
casualty and liability  insurance with respect to the Undivided Interest and the
Real  Property  Interest  in such  amounts  and with such  coverage  as shall be
adequate in accordance with prudent utility practice.  Any policies of insurance
in  respect  of  destruction,  damage,  loss,  theft  or other  casualty  to the
Undivided Interest, the Real Property Interest, Unit 1 or any part thereof shall
name the Lessor  (and,  to the extent  practicable,  the Owner  Participant)  as
additional  insured,  as its interests may appear, and any policies with respect
to nuclear  liability  insurance  shall  include all  Indemnities  as additional
insureds;  provided,  however,  that if the Operating  Agent, as trustee,  shall
become  the loss  payee  under any  policy  of  insurance  constituting  Project
Insurance,  then  the  Lessor  and the  Owner  Participant  shall be and be made
beneficiaries of the trust  arrangement  under which the Operating Agent acts as
trustee.  The Lessee shall, on or before March 1 of each year,  commencing March
1,  1986,  furnish to the Lessor  and the Owner  Participant  (A) a  certificate
signed by an independent  insurance broker showing the insurance then maintained
under the ANPP Participation Agreement and hereunder,  stating that all premiums
then due have  been  paid  and  stating  that the  insurance  then  carried  and
maintained under the ANPP Participation Agreement and hereunder is in accordance
with the terms of the ANPP Participation  Agreement and this Section 10, and (B)
upon the request of the Lessor or the Owner  Participant,  copies (to the extent
permitted  by the  issuers of such  policies)  of policies  so  maintained.  All
insurance proceeds paid in respect of damage, destruction,  loss, theft or other
casualty  to the  Undivided  Interest  or the Real  Property  Interest  shall be
applied as provided in Section 9(g) (h) or (i), as the case may be.



6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 24 -




                  (b)  Permitted  Insurance.  Nothing  in this  Section 10 shall
prohibit the Lessee from placing,  at its expense,  insurance on or with respect
to the cost of purchasing replacement power, naming the Lessee as insured and/or
loss payee,  unless such insurance  would  conflict with or otherwise  limit the
availability  of  insurance  to be provided or  maintained  in  accordance  with
Section 10(a). Nothing in this Section 10 shall prohibit the Lessor or the Owner
Participant  from placing at its expense  other  insurance on or with respect to
Unit 1, the Undivided Interest or the Real Property Interest or the operation of
Unit 1, naming the Lessor or the Owner Participant as insured and/or loss payee,
unless such insurance would conflict with or otherwise limit the insurance to be
provided or maintained in accordance with Section 10(a).

                  SECTION 11. Rights to Assign or Sublease.

                  (a)  Assignment  or Sublease by the Lessee.  Without the prior
written consent of the Lessor, the Lessee shall not assign,  sublease,  transfer
or encumber (except for Permitted Liens) its leasehold interest in the Undivided
Interest or the Real Property  Interest  under this Facility  Lease.  The Lessee
shall  not,  without  the prior  written  consent  of the  Lessor  and the Owner
Participant,  part with the possession of, or suffer or allow to pass out of its
possession,  the Undivided Interest,  the Real Property Interest or any interest
therein,  except  to the  extent  required  pursuant  to the ANPP  Participation
Agreement or expressly permitted by the provisions of this Facility Lease or any
other Transaction Document.

                  (b) Assignment by Lessor as Security for Lessor's Obligations.
To secure the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, the Lessor will assign to the
Indenture  Trustee its right,  title and interest to receive certain payments of
Rent (not including, in any event, Excepted Payments), to the extent provided in
the  Indenture  and may assign to the  Indenture  Trustee  its right,  title and
interest  in  the  Undivided   Interest  and  the  Real  Property   Interest  as
contemplated  by Section 9(j). The Lessee hereby (a) consents to such assignment
pursuant  to the  terms of the  Indenture,  (b)  agrees to pay  directly  to the
Indenture Trustee at the Indenture  Trustee's Office (so long as the lien of the
Indenture  has not been  satisfied  and  discharged  and the Lessor is obligated
thereunder) all amounts of Rent (other than Excepted  Payments) due or to become
due to the Lessor  that shall be required  to be paid to the  Indenture  Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture, (c) agrees that the

6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 25 -





right of the  Indenture  Trustee  to any such  payments  shall be  absolute  and
unconditional  and  shall  not  be  affected  by  an  circumstances  whatsoever,
including,  without  limitation,  those circumstances set forth in Section 4 and
(d) agrees that, to the extent provided in the Indenture and until the Indenture
is discharged in accordance with its terms, the Indenture Trustee shall have all
the rights of the Lessor  hereunder with respect to Assigned  Payments as if the
Indenture Trustee had originally been named herein as the Lessor.

                  SECTION 12.  Lease Renewal.

                  Subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 13(a),
at the end of the Basic Lease Term provided  that no Default,  Event of Default,
event of Loss or Deemed Loss Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the
Notes shall have been paid in full, the Lessee shall have the right to renew the
term of this Facility Lease for a period commencing January 15, 2015, and ending
on the later of January 15, 2017 and the end of the Maximum  Option  Period (the
Renewal Term),  during which the Basic Rent payable shall be the rental provided
in Section 3(a) (iii) and Section 21.

                  SECTION 13.  Notices for Renewal or Purchase;
Purchase Options.

                  (a) Notice;  Determination of Values; Appraisal Procedure. Not
later than three years nor earlier than five years prior to the expiration  date
of the Basic  Lease Term,  and not later than three years nor earlier  than five
years prior to the expiration  date of the Renewal Term, as the case may be, the
Lessee shall give to the Lessor  written  notice of its  election  either to (A)
return the  Undivided  Interest  and the Real  Property  Interest  to the Lessor
pursuant to Section 5, or (B) exercise the renewal  option  permitted by Section
12 (in the case of the notice delivered in respect of the expiration date of the
Basic Lease Term) or the  purchase  option  permitted by Section  13(b).  If the
notice  specified in clause (B) of the  preceding  sentence is given three years
prior to the  expiration of the Basic Lease Term,  then not later than two years
prior to the  expiration  date of the Basic Lease Term, the Lessee will give the
Lessor  written  notice of its election  either to exercise  the renewal  option
permitted by Section 12 or the purchase option  permitted by Section 13(b).  Any
such election shall be irrevocable as to the Lessee,  but no such election shall
be  binding on the Lessor if, on the  effective  date  thereof,  a Default or an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or an Event of Loss

6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 26 -





or a Deemed Loss Event shall have occurred. Promptly after giving notice, (i) in
case the renewal  option has been  elected,  the Maximum  Option Period shall be
determined  by the  Appraisal  Procedure,  or (ii) in case the  purchase  option
permitted  by  Section  13(b)  has  been  elected,  the  Lessee  and  the  Owner
Participant shall agree upon the Fair Sales Value of the Undivided  Interest and
the Real  Property  Interest,  or, if within  three months after the date of the
Lessee's  notice  the  Lessee  and the Owner  Participant  shall be unable so to
agree, such value shall be determined by the Appraisal Procedure.

                  (b) Purchase  Option at Expiration of the Lease Term.  Subject
to the notice  requirements  set forth in Section 13(a),  unless a Default or an
Event of Default  shall have  occurred and be  continuing or an Event of Loss or
Deemed  Loss Event shall have  occurred,  on the date of the  expiration  of the
Basic Lease Term or the Renewal  Term (if  elected),  the Lessee  shall have the
right to purchase the Undivided  Interest and the Real  Property  Interest for a
purchase price equal to the Fair Market Sales Value thereof.

                  (c)  Special  Purchase  Option.  Upon 30 days'  prior  written
notice  to the  Lessor,  unless a  Default  or an Event of  Default  shall  have
occurred  or be  continuing  or an Event of Loss or Deemed Loss Event shall have
occurred,  if the Lessee  shall  determine  that upon a refunding of the Initial
Series Note (and the  Releveraging  Note, if theretofore  issued) such refunding
would violate any  limitation  then imposed by the NMPSC,  the Lessee shall have
the right to purchase the Undivided  Interest and the Real Property Interest for
a purchase price equal to the greater of (i) the Fair Market Sales Value thereof
and (ii)  Casualty  Value as of the Basic Rent Payment Date first  preceding the
date of such purchase (or as of the date of such purchase, if such date shall be
a Basic Rent Payment  Date) plus, if such date shall not be a Basic Rent Payment
Date, a pro ration of Basic Rent to the date of purchase.

                  (d) Purchase of the Undivided Interest;  Payment,  Etc. If the
Lessee shall have elected to purchase the Undivided pursuant to Section 13(b) or
Section  (c),  payment by the  Lessee of the  purchase  price for the  Undivided
Interest and the Real Property  Interest shall be made in immediately  available
funds,  whereupon the Lessor shall Transfer the Undivided  Interest and the Real
Property Interest to the Lessee.

                  SECTION 14.  Termination for Obsolescence.

                  (a) Termination  Notice.  Notwithstanding any provision herein
contained to the  contrary,  unless a Default or an Event of Default  shall have
occurred and be continuing or an Event of Loss or a Deemed Loss Event shall have
occurred,  the Lessee shall have the option (provided that the Lessee shall have
delivered to the Lessor an Officers' Certificate to the effect that the Lessee's
Board of Directors  has adopted and there is in effect a resolution  determining
that Unit 1 is (A) uneconomic to the Lessee or (B) economically obsolete for any
reason;  and provided that the Lessee shall be disposing of all its other leased
interests in Unit 1, on at least 360 days' prior written  notice (a  Termination
Notice) to the Lessor,  the Owner  Participant and the Indenture  Trustee (which
notice shall be irrevocable)) to terminate this Facility Lease on any Basic Rent
Payment  Date  after  January  15,  1998,  and prior to  January  15,  2012 (the
Termination Date). If the Lessee shall give the Lessor a Termination Notice, the
Lessee shall, as agent for the Lessor,  use its best efforts to obtain cash bids
for the  purchase of the  Undivided  Interest  and the Real  Property  Interest,
together with the interest of the Lessor under the  Assignment  and  Assumption.
The Lessor shall also have the right to obtain such cash bids,  either  directly
or through agents other than the Lessee.  The Lessee shall certify to the Lessor
within ten days after the Lessee's receipt of each bid (and, in any event, prior
to the  Termination  Date) the amount and terms thereof and the name and address
of the party  (which  shall not be the Lessee or any  Affiliate  of the  Lessee)
submitting such bid.

                  (b)  Right  of  Lessor  to  Retain  Undivided   Interest  upon
Termination.  The Lessor may elect to retain,  rather than sell,  the  Undivided
Interest and the Real  Property  Interest by giving  notice to the Lessee and to
the  Indenture  Trustee prior to the  Termination  Date. It shall be a condition
precedent to the Lessor's  right to retain the  Undivided  Interest and the Real
Property Interest that on or prior to the Termination Date the Lessor shall have
paid (or made  provision  for  payment)  to the  Indenture  Trustee,  the unpaid
principal amount of all Notes Outstanding on such date and all premium,  if any,
and interest accrued and unpaid on the date of payment.  If the Lessor elects to
retain the Undivided  Interest and the Real Property  Interest  pursuant to this
Section 14(b),  the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on the  Termination  Date the
Basic  Rent and any  other  Rent  due or  accrued,  as the  case may be,  to and
including the Termination Date, together with an amount equal to the

6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 28 -





excess,  if any, of the Termination  Value as of the  Termination  Date over the
highest bona fide offer received pursuant to Section 14(a).

                  (c)  Events on the  Termination  Date.  If the  Lessor has not
elected to retain the  Undivided  Interest  and the Real  Property  Interest  as
provided  in Section  14(b),  on the  Termination  Date the Lessor  shall  (upon
receipt  of the sale price and all  additional  payments  specified  in the next
sentence)  Transfer the Undivided  Interest and the Real  Property  Interest for
cash to the bidder (which shall not be the Lessee or an Affiliate of the Lessee)
that shall have submitted the highest bid on or before the Termination Date. The
total sale price realized at such sale shall be retained by the Lessor (subject,
however, to the terms of the Indenture and the requirement that there shall have
been paid, or provision  for payment  made, to the Indenture  Trustee the unpaid
principal of all Notes  Outstanding on the Termination Date and all premium,  if
any, and interest  accrued and unpaid on the date of payment)  and, in addition,
on the  Termination  Date the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor (A) the excess,  if
any, of the Termination Value as of the Termination Date over the net sale price
of the Undivided  Interest and the Real Property Interest and (B) any Basic Rent
due or accrued,  as the case may be, to and including the  Termination  Date and
shall pay to the Person or Persons entitled thereto all Supplemental Rent (other
than  Termination  Value).  Upon  compliance  by the Lessee with the  applicable
provisions  of this Section 14, the  obligation  of the Lessee to pay Basic Rent
due  hereunder  for any period  after the  Termination  Date shall cease and the
Basic Lease Term shall end on the Termination Date; provided,  however, that, in
the event of termination of this Facility Lease pursuant to this Section 14, the
obligations  of the Lessee  under the ANPP  Participation  Agreement  (except as
therein expressly  provided) and the Assignment and Assumption shall continue in
full  force  and  effect  and  shall  not be  impaired  by  reason  of any  such
termination.  If, other than as a result of the Lessor's  election to retain the
Undivided  Interest and the Real Property Interest as provided in Section 14(b),
on or as of the  Termination  Date no such sale shall occur or the Lessee  shall
not have  complied  in full with this  Section  14,  this  Facility  Lease shall
continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms without prejudice
to the Lessee's  right to exercise its rights under this Section 14  thereafter,
except  that the Lessee  shall not be entitled  to deliver  another  Termination
Notice during the 3-year period  following  such  Termination  Date.  The Lessor
shall be under no duty to  solicit  bids,  to  inquire  into the  efforts of the

                                     - 29 -

sale other than, if the Lessor has not elected to retain the Undivided  Interest
and the Real Property Interest,  to Transfer the Undivided Interest and the Real
Property  Interest to the  purchaser  named in the highest bid  certified by the
Lessee to the Lessor or obtained by the Lessor,  against receipt of the payments
provided for herein.

                  (d) Early  Termination  Notice.  In the event  that the Lessee
shall fail to exercise  its renewal  option or purchase  option  within the time
limit provided by Section 13(a), the Lessor shall have the option,  on any Basic
Rent  Payment Date  thereafter,  on at least 120 days prior  written  notice (an
Early Termination  Notice) to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee, to terminate
this Facility Lease on the Basic Rent Payment Date specified in such notice (the
Early  Termination  Date).  Any Early  Termination  Notice may be revoked by the
Lessor at any time on or prior to the Early Termination Date.

                  (e)  Events  on the  Early  Termination  Date.  On  the  Early
Termination  Date the Lessor  shall,  at its option,  (i) Transfer the Undivided
Interest and the Real Property  Interest to the bidder (other than the Lessee or
any Affiliate of the Lessee) selected by the Lessor or (ii) retain the Undivided
Interest and the Real Property  Interest.  It shall be a condition  precedent to
the  Lessor's  right  to sell or  retain  the  Undivided  Interest  and the Real
Property  Interest  that on or prior to the Early  Termination  Date the  Lessor
shall have paid (or made provision for payment) to the Indenture Trustee on such
date the unpaid principal  amount of all Notes  Outstanding on such date and all
premium,  if any,  and interest  accrued and unpaid on the date of payment.  The
total sale price  realized at any such sale shall be retained by the Lessor and,
in addition,  on the Early  Termination  Date the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor
any Basic Rent due or accrued,  as the case may be, to and  including  the Early
Termination  Date, and shall pay to the Person or Persons  entitled  thereto all
Supplemental  Rent (other than  Termination  Value).  Upon compliance the Lessee
with the applicable  provisions of this Section 14, the obligation of the Lessee
to pay Basic Rent due hereunder for any period after the Early  Termination Date


6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 30 -





shall  cease  and the  Lease  Term  shall  end on the  Early  Termination  Date;
provided,  however,  that in the event of the termination of this Facility Lease
pursuant  to this  Section  14, the  obligations  of the  Lessee  under the ANPP
Participation   Agreement  (except  as  therein  expressly   provided)  and  the
Assignment and Assumption  shall continue in full force and effect and shall not
be impaired by reason of any such termination.

Participant a notice specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied and
stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

                (vi) any  representation  or warranty made by the Lessee in this

the  giving  by any ANPP  Participant  of a notice  under  Section  23.2 (or any
comparable successor provision) of the ANPP Participation Agreement respecting a
default  thereunder  by the  Lessee and the lapse of 20  Business  Days from the
giving of such notice  without the Lessee having cured such  default;  provided,
however,  that for purposes of this clause (2) if the Lessee shall have disputed
the  existence  or nature of a default  and such  dispute  shall have become the
subject  of an  arbitration  under  Section  24  (or  any  comparable  successor

                                     - 34 -





such  failure;  or (2) any other  default  under  any  agreement  or  instrument
relating to any such Debt,  or any other event,  shall occur and shall  continue
after the  applicable  grace  period,  if any,  specified  in such  agreement or
instrument,  if the  effect of such  default  or event is to  accelerate,  or to
permit the  acceleration  of, the maturity of such Debt,  but only if the Lessee
shall  have  received  notice of such  default or a  Responsible  Officer of the
Lessee shall have actual knowledge of such default.

                  SECTION 16. Remedies.

                  (a) Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and
so long as the same shall be continuing,  the Lessor may, at its option, declare
this Facility  Lease to be in default by written  notice to such effect given to
the Lessee, and may exercise one more of the following remedies as the Lessor in

                (ii) the Lessor may (x) demand  that the Lessee,  and  thereupon
the Lessee  shall,  return  possession  of the  Undivided  Interest and the Real

by, and otherwise in accordance  with the  provisions of, this Facility Lease as
if they Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest were being returned at

                                     - 35 -





liability to the Lessee for or by reason of such entry or taking of  possession,
whether  for the  restoration  of damage to  property  caused by such  taking or
otherwise;

                (iii) the Lessor may sell the  Undivided  Interest  and the Real
Property Interest, or any part thereof, together with any interest of the Lessor
under the  Assignment and  Assumption,  at public or private sale, as the Lessor
may  determine,  free and  clear of any  rights of the  Lessee in the  Undivided
Interest and the Real  Property  Interest and without any duty to account to the
Lessee with  respect to such action or inaction  or any  proceeds  with  respect
thereto (except to the extent required by clause (v) or (vi) below if the Lessor
shall  elect to exercise  its rights  thereunder),  in which event the  Lessee's
obligation to pay Basic Rent hereunder for periods  commencing after the date of
such sale shall be terminated  or  proportionately  reduced,  as the case may be
(except to the extent that Basic Rent is to be included  in  computations  under
clause  (v) or (vi)  below if the  Lessor  shall  elect to  exercise  its rights
thereunder);

                (iv) the  Lessor  may hold,  keep idle or lease to others all or
any part of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest, as the Lessor
in its sole discretion may determine, free and clear of any rights of the Lessee
and  without  any duty to account to the Lessee  with  respect to such action or
inaction or for any proceeds  with  respect to such action or  inaction,  except
that the Lessee's  obligation to pay Basic Rent for periods commencing after the
Lessee shall have been  deprived of use of the  Undivided  Interest and the Real
Property  Interest  pursuant  to this  clause  (iv)  shall be reduced by the net
proceeds, if any, received by the Lessor from leasing the Undivided Interest and

6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 36 -





the Real  Property  Interest  to any  Person  other than the Lessee for the same
periods or any portion thereof;

                (v)  except  in the  case of an Event of  Default  specified  in
clause (iii) of Section 15, the Lessor may, whether or not the Lessor shall have
exercised or shall  thereafter at any time exercise its rights under clause (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) above,  demand, by written notice to the Lessee specifying a
payment  date which shall be a Basic Rent  Payment Date not earlier than 10 days
after the date of such notice, that the Lessee pay to the Lessor, and the Lessee
shall pay to the  Lessor,  on the Basic  Rent  Payment  Date  specified  in such
notice,  as  liquidated  damages  (in lieu of the Basic Rent due after the Basic
Rent Payment  specified in such  notice),  any unpaid Rent due through the Basic
Rent Payment  Date  specified  in such notice plus  whichever  of the  following
amounts  the  Lessor,  in its sole  discretion,  shall  specify  in such  notice
(together with interest on such amount at the interest rate specified in Section

of actual  payment) (and upon receipt of such payment the Lessor shall  Transfer
to the Lessee the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest):

                (A) an amount  equal to the excess,  if any, of Casualty  Value,

Fair  Market  Rental  Value of the  Undivided  Interest  and the  Real  Property
Interest  (determined on the basis of the then actual condition of Unit 1) until
the end of the remaining useful life of Unit 1, after discounting

6091.20.2898.47:1
                                - 37 -





such Fair Market  Rental Value  semi-annually  to present  value as of the Basic
Rent Payment Date specified in such notice at a rate of 12% per annum;

                (B) an amount  equal to the  excess,  if any,  of such  Casualty

Property Interest  (determined on the basis of the then actual condition of Unit
1) as of the Basic Rent Payment Date specified in such notice; or

                (C) an amount  equal to the  excess,  if any, of (1) the present
value  as of the  Basic  Rent  Payment  Date  specified  in such  notice  of all
installments  of Basic Rent until the end of the Basic Lease Term or the Renewal
Term, as the case may be,  discounted  semi-annually at a rate of 10% per annum,
over (2) the present value as of such Basic Rent Payment Date of the Fair Market
Rental  Value  of  the  Undivided   Interest  and  the  Real  Property  Interest
(determined  on the basis of the then actual  condition of Unit 1) until the end
of the Basic  Lease Term or the  Renewal  Term,  as the case may be,  discounted
semi-annually at a rate of 10% per annum;

                (vi) if the Lessor  shall have sold all the  Undivided  Interest
and the Real Property  Interest  pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Lessor,  in
lieu of  exercising  its  rights  under  clause  (v) above  with  respect to the
Undivided  Interest and the Real  Property  Interest  may, if it shall so elect,
demand that the Lessee pay to the Lessor and the Lessee  shall pay to the Lessor
on the date of such sale, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as
a penalty (in lieu of Basic Rent due for periods commencing after the next Basic


6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 38 -





Rent Payment Date  following  the date of such sale),  any unpaid Basic Rent due
through such Basic Rent Payment Date, plus the amount of any deficiency  between
the Sale  Proceeds  and Casualty  Value,  computed as of such Basic Rent Payment
Date, together with interest at the interest rate specified in Section 3(b)(iii)
on the amount of such Rent and such  deficiency from the date of such sale until
the date of actual payment;

                (vii) in the case of an Event of  Default  specified  in  clause
(iii) of Section  15, the Lessor  may  demand,  by written  notice of the Lessee
specifying a payment date which shall be the last Basic Rent Payment Date of the
Lease Term,  that the Lessee pay to the Lessor,  and the Lessee shall pay to the
Lessor,  on such Basic Rent Payment Date,  as  liquidated  damages for loss of a
bargain  and not as a  penalty,  any  unpaid  Rent due  through  such Basic Rent
Payment Date plus an amount equal to the Fair Market Sales Value (without regard
to the obligations of the Lessee under Section 10(b)(3)(xi) of the Participation
Agreement) of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest  (determined
on the basis of the then  actual  condition  of Unit 1)  deter-mined  as of such
Basic Rent Payment Date  (together  with interest on such amount at the interest
rate specified in Section  3(b)(iii) from such Basic Rent Payment Date specified
in such notice to the date of actual  payment) (and upon receipt of such payment
the Lessor  shall  transfer to the Lessee the  Undivided  Interest  and the Real
Property Interest); or

                (viii) the Lessor may  exercise  any other  right or remedy that
may be available to it under any Applicable Law or proceed by appropriate  court
action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof.



6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 39 -





                  (b) No Release. No restriction or termination of this Facility
Lease,  in whole or in part, or  repossession  of the Undivided  Interest or the
Real  Property  Interest or exercise of any remedy under  paragraph  (a) of this
Section 16 shall, except as specifically provided therein, relieve the Lessee of
any of its liabilities and obligations hereunder.  In addition, the Lessee shall
be liable,  except as otherwise  provided above, for any and all unpaid Rent due
hereunder before, after or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies,
including all reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by the
Lessor or the Owner  Participant  by  reason of the  occurrence  of any Event of
Default or the exercise of the Lessor's  remedies with respect  thereto.  At any
sale of the Undivided  Interest,  the Real Property Interest or any part thereof
pursuant to this Section 16, the Owner Participant,  the Lessor or the Indenture
Trustee may bid for and purchase such property.

                  (c) Remedies Cumulative. No remedy under paragraph (a) of this
Section 16 is  intended to be  exclusive,  but each shall be  cumulative  and in
addition to any other  remedy  provided  under such  paragraph  (a) or otherwise
available to the Lessor at law or in equity. No express or implied waiver by the
Lessor of any Default or Event of Default  hereunder  shall in any way be, or be
construed  to be, a waiver  of any  future  or  subsequent  Default  or Event of
Default.  The failure or delay of the Lessor in exercising  any right granted it
hereunder upon any occurrence of any of the contingencies set forth herein shall
not constitute a waiver of any such right upon the continuation or recurrence of
any such  contingencies  or  similar  contingencies  and any  single or  partial
exercise  of any  particular  right by the Lessor  shall not exhaust the same or
constitute a waiver of any other right provided herein.  To the extent permitted
by  Applicable  Law,  the Lessee  hereby  waives  any  rights  now or  hereafter
conferred by statute or otherwise which may require the Lessor to sell, lease or
otherwise  use the  Undivided  Interest or Unit 1 in  mitigation of the Lessor's
damages as set forth in paragraph  (a) of this Section 16 or which may otherwise
limit or modify any of the Lessor's rights and remedies provided in this
Section 16.

6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 40 -




                  (d) Exercise of Other  Rights or Remedies.  In addition to all
other rights and  remedies  provided in this Section 16, the Lessor may exercise
any other right or remedy that may be  available to it under  Applicable  Law or
proceed by  appropriate  court  action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover
damages for the breach hereof.

                  (e)  Special  Cure Right of Lessee.  In the event a "Notice of
Default"  is given  under  Section 15 (iv),  the Lessee  may, on or prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default  resulting  therefrom,  give written notice to
the Lessor  stating that the Lessee has elected to exercise the option (the Cure
Option)  provided in this Section 16(e),  which election shall be irrevocable as
to the  Lessee.  Promptly  after the giving of such  notice,  the Lessee and the
Owner  Participant shall agree upon the Fair Market Sales Value of the Undivided
Interest and the Real Property  Interest or, if they shall be unable so to agree
within one month  after the date of the  Lessee's  notice,  such value  shall be
determined  by the  Appraisal  Procedure.  On the Basic Rent  Payment  Date next
following the date that such Fair Market Sales Value shall have been determined,
the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Rent due on such Basic Rent Payment Date,
plus an amount  equal to the excess of (i) the greater of such Fair Market Sales
Value and the Casualty Value  determined as of such Basic Rent Payment Date over
(ii) the unpaid  principal  amount of the Notes  Outstanding  on such date after
giving effect to the payment,  if any, of the principal  installment and payable
on such  date.  Upon  compliance  in  full  by the  Lessee  with  the  foregoing
provisions  of  this  paragraph  (e) and  assumption  by the  Lessee  of all the
obligations  and  liabilities  of the Owner  Trustee under the Indenture and the
Notes pursuant to Section 3.9(b) of the Indenture, the Lessor shall Transfer the
Undivided  Interest and the Real Property  Interest to the Lessee. If the Lessee
shall not have assumed all the obligations and liabilities of the Owner

6091.20.2898.47:1
                                     - 41 -





Trustee under the Indenture and the Notes in accordance  with Section  3.9(b) of
the Indenture,  but shall have paid all amounts  required by this paragraph (e),
the Lessor shall retain the Undivided  Interest and the Real  Property  Interest
subject  to the  terms  of  this  Facility  Lease  and  Section  7(b)(4)  of the
Participation Agreement; provided, however, that the obligation of the Lessee to
pay further  Basic Rent shall be reduced to an amount on each Basic Rent Payment
Date equal to the aggregate  amount of principal,  premium,  if any, and accrued
interest  then payable on all Notes then  Outstanding  and this  Facility  Lease
shall become a security agreement for all purposes of Applicable Law. The Lessee

remaining   provisions   hereof  or  thereof,   and  any  such   prohibition  or
unenforceability   in  any   jurisdiction   shall  not   invalidate   or  render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  To the extent permitted
by  Applicable  Law, the Lessee hereby waives any provision of law which renders
any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

                  (d) True  Lease.  This  Facility  Lease  shall  constitute  an
agreement of lease and nothing herein or therein shall be construed as conveying

Real  Property  Interest  in such  amounts  and with such  coverage  as shall be
adequate in accordance with prudent utility practice.  Any policies of insurance
in  respect  of  destruction,  damage,  loss,  theft  or other  casualty  to the

name the Lessor  (and,  to the extent  practicable,  the Owner  Participant)  as
additional  insured,  as its interest (or their  interests) may appear,  and any
policies  with  respect  to  nuclear  liability  insurance  with  respect to the
Undivided  Interest,  the Real Property  Interest,  Unit 1, or any part thereof,
shall include all  Indemnities as "insureds" or through  endorsement;  provided,
however,  that if the Operating  Agent, as trustee,  shall become the loss payee
under any policy of insurance  constituting  Project Insurance,  then the Lessor
and the  Owner  Participant  shall  be and be made  beneficiaries  of the  trust
arrangement  under which the Operating Agent acts as trustee.  The Lessee shall,


                                     - 2 -





on or before  March 1 of each year,  commencing  March 1,  1987,  furnish to the
Lessor and the Owner  Participant  (A) a report  signed by the broker or brokers
for the PVNGS  insurance  (or if insurance is placed  directly by the  Operating
Agent,  a certificate  signed by the Operating  Agent) (i) showing the insurance
then  maintained by the ANPP  Participants  with respect to PVNGS,  (ii) stating
that no premiums  are then  delinquent,  and (iii)  stating  that the  insurance
maintained by the ANPP  Participants with respect to PVNGS is in accordance with
the terms of (1) the ANPP Participation Agreement and (2) this Section 10, (B) a
report  signed by the  broker  or  brokers  for the  Lessee's  insurance  (of if
insurance is placed directly by the Lessee, a certificate  signed by the Lessee)
showing the  separate  insurance,  if any,  then  maintained  by the Lessee with
respect  to its  interest  in PVNGS  and  stating  that no  premium  under  such
insurance are  delinquent;  (C) a certificate  signed by the Lessee stating that

Participation  Agreement  and this  Section  10; and (D) upon the request of the
Lessor or the Owner Participant,  copies (to the extent permitted by the issuers
of such policies) of policies so maintained.  Any report by an insurance  broker
with  respect  to clause  (A)(iii)(1)  may be made in  reliance  upon a schedule
provided  by the  Lessee (a copy of which  shall be  attached)  identifying  the
insurance (by coverage,  limits,  insureds and other pertinent details) required
to be maintained under the ANPP Participation Agreement. Any report with respect
to clause (A)(ii)(2) may be made in reliance upon a similar schedule provided by


                                     - 3 -





the  Lessee  (a copy of  which  shall be  attached)  identifying  the  insurance
required to be maintained under this Section 10. All insurance  proceeds paid in
respect of damage,  destruction,  loss, theft or other casualty to the Undivided
Interest or the Real Property  Interest  shall be applied as provided in Section
9(g),  (h) or  (i),  as the  case  may be,  subject,  however,  to any  priority
allocations of such proceeds to decontamination  and debris removal set forth in
the  insurance  policies or  required  under  Applicable  Law. In the event that
either the  Operating  Agent or the Lessee  delivers a  certificate  pursuant to
clause (A) or (B) of the foregoing,  the Owner  Participant shall be entitled to
receive (if it so requests and if the insurer will issue the same) a report from
any insurer listed in such certificate."

of such cessation or failure equals or exceeds twenty-four  consecutive calendar
months,  or  (B)  such  Nuclear  Incident  causes  the  radiation  level  in the
containment  building  of Unit 1, as  measured  by the average of two high range
radiation  monitors in such containment  building of Unit 1 (or if only one such
monitor is  operating  at such  time,  such  monitor)  over one hour to equal or

the average of two high range radiation  monitors in such  containment  building
(or if only one such monitor is operating at such time,  such  monitor) over one
hour to equal or exceed 500 rads per hour;  provided,  however,  this subsection
(B) shall not apply in respect of a Nuclear  Incident arising solely from a fuel
handling accident;

                  (5) the  occurrence  of a Nuclear  Incident  at Unit 1, 2 or 3

radiation  levels off the PVNGS Site such that, in the case of (B) above (x) the
NRC declares the occurrence of an Extraordinary  Nuclear  Occurrence or declares
any other event  connoting  an  equivalent  level of accident or (y) the surface
contamination  dose rate measured off the PVNGS Site by a radiation monitor at 1
meter  above  the  surface  level  equals  or is  greater  at any  time  than 10
millirads/hour (0.10  milligray/hour) or in the case of noble gas plume passage,
the radiation dose rate equals or is greater than 10 rads (0.10 gray) integrated
over 24 hours,  (or if the NRC  shall at any time  lower  the  radiation  levels
required for the occurrence of an Extraordinary  Nuclear Occurrence,  such lower
levels as shall be consistent with such change by the NRC); or

unless Lessee theretofore shall have exercised its purchase option under Section
13(b) of the Facility Lease, the failure of the Lessee, or of the Lessee and one
more other ANPP  Participants,  (A) to agree within eighteen  calendar months of
such damage or  destruction  (or prior to such  earlier  date as of which one or
more other ANPP  Participants  shall agree to restore or reconstruct any damaged
portion of Unit 1 in accordance with Section 16.2 of the ANPP Participation

6091.BURNHAMU1.DEBT.71:1





Agreement) to restore or reconstruct Unit 1 to completion prior to the day sixty
calendar  months after the date of such agreement and (B) thereafter to complete
the restoration and  reconstruction  of Unit 1 within a period of sixty calendar
months after the date of such  agreement,  provided that no Final Shutdown shall

or

                  (7) the  non-operation of Unit 1 or the operation of Unit 1 at
a net rated power level below 630 megawatts electric or any combination  thereof

Incident at any generating  facility located anywhere in the world) for a Period
of thirty-six  consecutive  calendar months (or a period through the penultimate
day of the Lease  Term if the Lessee  shall  have given  notice of its intent to
exercise the purchase  option  permitted by Section 13(b) of the Facility Lease)
other than as a result of damage to or destruction of Unit 1.

For purposes of this definition,  a Final Shutdown resulting from the occurrence
of an event  described  in  clause  (5) above  shall be deemed to have  occurred
immediately and automatically  upon the decline of the water coolant within Unit
1 to a level three feet above the nuclear fuel.

                  For purposes of the definition of "Final  Shutdown"  only, the
following  capitalized terms set forth therein shall have the following meanings
(other capitalized terms having the respective  meanings set forth in Appendix A
to the Facility Lease):

                  Extraordinary  Nuclear  Occurrence  shall have its  meaning as
defined in Section 11 of the Atomic Energy Act and the related NRC  regulations,
as amended to the date hereof, and as the meaning of such term shall be expanded
from time to time by future amendments thereof. The definition of "extraordinary
nuclear occurrence" contained in Section 11 of the Atomic Energy Act on the date
hereof is: "any event causing a discharge dispersal of source,  special nuclear,
or byproduct  material  from its place of  confinement  in amounts  offsite,  or
causing  radiation  levels  offsite,  which  the  Commission  determines  to  be


6091.BURNHAMU1.DEBT.71:1





substantial,  and which the Commission  determines has resulted or will probably
result in  substantial  damages to  persons  offsite or  property  offsite.  Any
determination  by the  Commission  that such an event has, or has not,  occurred
shall be final and  conclusive,  and no other  official  or any court shall have
power or jurisdiction  to review any such  determination.  The Commission  shall
establish   criteria  in  writing  setting  forth  the  basis  upon  which  such
determination  shall be made. As used in this  subsection,  'offsite' means away
from 'the  location' or 'the  contract  location'  as defined in the  applicable
Commission  indemnity  agreement,  entered into pursuant to section 2210 of this
title."

                  Nuclear  Incident shall have its meaning as defined in Section
11 of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended to the date hereof and as the meaning of
such term may be expanded from time to time by future  amendments  thereof.  The
definition of "nuclear incident"  contained in the Atomic Energy Act on the date
hereof is: "any  occurrence,  including  an  extraordinary  nuclear  occurrence,
within the United States  causing,  within or outside the United States,  bodily
injury,  sickness,  disease, or death, or loss of or damage to property, or loss
of use of property,  arising out of or resulting  from the  radioactive,  toxic,
explosive,  or  other  hazardous  properties  of  source,  special  nuclear,  or
byproduct  material:  Provided,  however,  that as the  term is used in  section
2210(1) of this title, it shall include any such  occurrence  outside the United
States:  And provided  further,  That as the term is used in section  2210(d) of
this title,  it shall include any such  occurrence  outside the United States if
such occurrence  involves source,  special nuclear,  or byproduct material owned
by, and used by or under contract with, the United States: And provided further,
That as the term is used in section  2210(c) of this title, it shall include any
such  occurrence  outside  both the United  States and any other  nation if such
occurrence arises out of or results from the radioactive,  toxic,  explosive, or
other hazardous  properties of source,  special nuclear,  or byproduct  material
licensed  pursuant to subchapters  V, VI, VII, and IX of this chapter,  which is
used in  connection  with the operation of a licensed  stationary  production or
utilization facility or which moves outside the territorial limits of the United
States in transit from one person  licensed by the  Commission to another person
licensed by the Commission."


6091.BURNHAMU1.DEBT.71:1




                  Period of a stated duration in respect of any event shall mean
an  indefinite  period which can  reasonably be expected to exceed the lesser of
such duration and the period remaining to the date which is three years prior to
the end of the  remaining  Basic Lease Term (or if such event  occurs  after the
date three years prior to the end of the remaining  Basic Lease Term, the lesser
of six months and the period  remaining to the day next preceding the end of the
Basic  Lease  Term) or a stated  period in excess of the  lesser  thereof  or an
actual period which continues in excess of the lesser thereof.

                  Source, Special Nuclear or Byproduct Material shall have their
respective defined meanings as defined in Section 11 of the Atomic Energy Act of
1954,  as amended to the date  hereof and as the  meanings  of such terms may be
expanded by future amendments thereof.

radiation  levels off the PVNGS Site such that,  in the case of this  clause (B)
(x) the NRC declares the occurrence of an  Extraordinary  Nuclear  Occurrence or
declares any other event  connoting an  equivalent  level of accident or (y) the
surface  contamination  dose rate  measured  off the PVNGS  Site by a  radiation
monitor at 1 meter above the surface level equals or is greater at any time than
10  millirads/hour  (0.10  milligray/hour)  or,  in the case of noble  gas plume
passage,  the radiation  dose rate equals or is greater than 10 rads (0.10 gray)
integrated  over 24 hours,  (or if the NRC shall at any time lower the radiation
levels required for the occurrence of an Extraordinary Nuclear Occurrence,  such
lower levels as shall be consistent with such change by the NRC); or

a net rated power level below 630 megawatts electric or any combination  thereof
for any reason  (including,  without  limitation,  the occurrence of any Nuclear
Incident at any generating  facility located anywhere in the world) for a Period
of thirty-six  consecutive  calendar months (or a period through the penultimate
day of the Lease  Term if the Lessee  shall  have given  notice of its intent to
exercise the purchase  option  permitted by Section 13(b) of the Facility Lease)
other than as a result of damage to or destruction of Unit 1; or

                  (9) the taking of any  Governmental  Action or the adoption or
making  of any  interpretations,  directives  or  requests  by any  Governmental
Authority (including,  without limitation, the staff thereof) or the concurrence
by any Governmental  Authority in the voluntary action of the operator  thereof,
in each such case whether  formal or  informal,  by reason of which Unit 1 shall
cease to operate,  or shall be unable under Applicable Law to resume  operation,
at a capacity level of at least 630 megawatts  electric for the Minimum  Period;
or

                  (10) the  cessation  of  operation  of Unit 1 as a  result  of
either (x) the occurrence of an Extraordinary Nuclear Occurrence or an Incipient
Extraordinary  Nuclear  Occurrence  relating to Unit 1 or (y) a Nuclear Incident
relating to Unit 1 and, in the case of this clause (y), the continuation of such
cessation for the Minimum Period; or


6091.CHRYSLER.DEBT.71:1




                  (11) damage to Unit 1, without  restoration or  reconstruction
having been completed by the expiration of the Minimum Period,  such that Unit 1
has a rated capacity of at least 630 megawatts electric; or

                  (12) destruction of Unit 1.

                  For purposes of clause  (iii) of part (1) of this  definition,
Final  Shutdown  will be deemed to have  occurred  upon the  earlier  of (x) the
written  declaration  of the  Lessee of its  intent  not so to agree and (y) the
expiration of such five-year period without written  agreement,  and pursuant to
the  foregoing  clause (iv) of part (1),  Final  Shutdown will be deemed to have
occurred on the day preceding the Lease  Termination  Date. For purposes of part
(6) of this  definition,  a Final  Shutdown  shall be  deemed  to have  occurred
immediately and automatically  upon the decline of the water coolant within Unit
1 to a level  three fee above the  nuclear  fuel and for  purposes of parts (9),
(10)(y) and (11) of this definition, on the last day of the Minimum Period.

                  For purposes of parts (9),  (10) and (11) of this  definition,
Minimum  Period shall have the same meaning  assigned to it in the definition of
"Event of Loss".

                  For  purposes  of part (6) of this  definition,  Extraordinary
Nuclear Occurrence shall have its meaning as defined in Section 11 of the Atomic
Energy Act and the related NRC regulations,  as amended to the date hereof,  and
as the  meaning  of such  term  shall be  expanded  from  time to time by future
amendments  thereof.  The  definition  of  "extraordinary   nuclear  occurrence"
contained  in Section 11 of the Atomic  Energy Act on the date  hereof is:  "any
event causing a discharge or dispersal of source,  special nuclear, or byproduct
material from its intended place of confinement in amounts  offsite,  or causing
radiation levels offsite, which the Commission determines to be substantial, and
which  the  Commission  determines  has  resulted  or will  probably  result  in
substantial damages to persons offsite or property offsite. Any determination by
the Commission  that such an event has, or has not,  occurred shall be final and
conclusive,  and no other official or any court shall have power or jurisdiction
to review any such  determination.  The Commission  shall establish  criteria in
writing setting forth the basis upon which such determination  shall be made. As


6091.CHRYSLER.DEBT.71:1





used in this  subsection,  'offsite'  means  away  from 'the  location'  or 'the
contract location' as defined in the applicable  Commission indemnity agreement,
entered into pursuant to section 2210 of this title."

                  For  purposes  of  part  (10)  of this  definition:  the  term
"Extraordinary  Nuclear Occurrence" shall have its meaning as defined in Section
11 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954,  as amended to the Closing  Date;  the term
"Incipient  Extraordinary  Nuclear  Occurrence"  shall  mean an event  causing a
discharge or dispersal of nuclear source,  special nuclear or nuclear by-product
material from its intended  place of  confinement in amounts off site or on site
or causing a radiation  level off site or on site which an  independent  nuclear
consultant agreed to by the Lessee and the Owner Participant (or, failing prompt
agreement,  appointed by the American Arbitration  Association) determines to be
substantial  and which such  consultant  determines  has resulted in substantial
injury to persons on or off the PVNGS Site or substantial damage to property off
the PVNGS  Site;  and the term  "Nuclear  Incident"  shall  mean any  occurrence
causing  bodily  injury,  sickness,  disease  or death,  or loss of or damage to
property,  or the loss of use of property,  arising out of or resulting from the
radioactive,  toxic,  explosive or other hazardous properties of nuclear source,
special nuclear or nuclear by-product material.

                  For  purposes  of  parts  (4),   (5),  (6)  and  (8)  of  this
definition,  Nuclear Incident shall have its meaning as defined in Section 11 of
the Atomic  Energy Act, as amended to the date hereof and as the meaning of such
term  may be  expanded  from  time to time by  future  amendments  thereof.  The
definition of "nuclear incident"  contained in the Atomic Energy Act on the date
hereof is: "any  occurrence,  including  an  extraordinary  nuclear  occurrence,
within the United States  causing,  within or outside the United States,  bodily
injury,  sickness,  disease, or death, or loss of or damage to property, or loss
of use of property,  arising out of or resulting  from the  radioactive,  toxic,
explosive,  or  other  hazardous  properties  of  source,  special  nuclear,  or
byproduct  material:  Provided,  however,  that as the  term is used in  section
2210(1) of this title, it shall include any such  occurrence  outside the United
States:  And provided  further,  That as the term is used in section  2210(d) of
this title,  it shall include any such  occurrence  outside the United States if


6091.CHRYSLER.DEBT.71:1




such occurrence  involves source,  special nuclear,  or byproduct material owned
by, and used by or under contract with, the United States: And provided further,
That as the term is used in section  2210(c) of this title, it shall include any
such  occurrence  outside  both the United  States and any other  nation if such
occurrence arises out of or results from the radioactive,  toxic,  explosive, or
other hazardous  properties of source,  special nuclear,  or byproduct  material
licensed  pursuant to subchapters  V, VI, VII, and IX of this chapter,  which is
used in  connection  with the operation of a licensed  stationary  production or
utilization facility or which moves outside the territorial limits of the United
States in transit from one person  licensed by the  Commission to another person
licensed by the Commission."

                  For  purposes  of parts (4),  (5) and (8) of this  definition,
Period of a stated  duration  in respect of any event  shall mean an  indefinite
period which can  reasonably  be expected to exceed the lesser of such  duration
and the period  remaining  to the date which is three  years prior to the end of
the  remaining  Basic Lease Term (or if such event  occurs  after the date three
years prior to the end of the  remaining  Basic  Lease  Term,  the lesser of six
months and the period  remaining to the day next  preceding the end of the Basic
Lease  Term) or a stated  period in excess of the  lesser  thereof  or an actual
period which continues in excess of the lesser thereof.

                  For purposes of part (6) of this definition,  Source,  Special
Nuclear or Byproduct  Material shall have their  respective  defined meanings as
defined in Section 11 of the Atomic  Energy Act of 1954,  as amended to the date
hereof and as the meanings of such terms may be
expanded by future amendments thereof.
