at such time as is required by the Lenders under the Credit
Agreement, and prior to any drawdowns under the subordinated debt
7
to be provided by Westinghouse. On, or prior to, the Financial
Closing Date, each Partner shall post one or more letters of
credit, corporate guarantees or other security, in each case
acceptable to the Lenders, to secure its obligation under this
paragraph.
3.05 (a) Following completion of the Project and
except as provided in subparagraph (b), any subsequent equity
contributions shall be subject to the unanimous approval of the
Partners, and unless otherwise agreed, shall be in accordance
with the Partner Percentage of each Partner.
(b) In the event that one or more Partners fail
to make part or all of any subsequent equity contributions
approved pursuant to subparagraph (a) or approved by the
Management Committee in order to avoid default under the Project
Documents, or which, in the reasonable judgment of the Management
Committee, may be necessary to avoid default under such Project
Documents, the interest of each such non-contributing Partner
shall be subject to the following restrictions until such time as
the default is cured:
(i) loss of all voting rights under this
Agreement, and
(ii) suspension of all distributions to which
such Partner would otherwise be entitled, with the stipulation
that such distributions shall be placed in escrow by the
Management Committee until such time as the default is either
cured or the interest of the non-contributing Partner is
purchased pursuant to the procedures set out below.
(c) A non-contributing Partner under this Section
3.05 shall have six (6) months from the date the Management
Committee sets for payment of the subsequent equity contribution
to cure any default. Cure shall consist of payment in full of
the subsequent equity contribution required of the Partner plus
interest on the unpaid amount at the Default Rate applicable to
late payments under the Credit Agreement. If any such Partner
has failed to cure the default within said six (6) month period,
the remaining Partners shall have the opportunity, pro rata to

buyout, a Partner shall have paid to the Partnership, pro rata
to its Partner Percentage, that part of the capital shortfall

created by the non-contributing Partner either through an
additional equity contribution to the Partnership (which shall be
added to the Partner's Capital Account) or, if approved by the
Management Committee, and permitted by the Credit Agreement,
through a loan to the Partnership. To the extent that a partner
fails to pay its pro rata share of the subsequent equity
contribution required of the non-contributing Partner, the
remaining Partners shall have the opportunity, pro rata to their
respective Partner Percentages, to make up the shortfall, and
thereby be eligible to participate in the purchase of the non-
contributing Partner's interest should a cure not be effected by
such non-contributing Partner within the six (6) months set out
herein. If none of the Partners make up the shortfall created by
the non-contributing Partner, the contributing Partners shall
take action as they deem appropriate.
(e) In addition to its other obligations under
subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, each Partner agrees to
contribute additional capital to the Partnership pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 3.05 to satisfy obligations owed third
parties if, as a result of such obligations, the Partnership's
liabilities exceed its assets.

existence or nonexistence of any fact or facts which constitute a
condition precedent to acts by the Partnership or which are in
any other manner germane to the affairs of the Partnership; the
Persons who are authorized to execute and deliver any instrument
or document of the Partnership; and any act or failure to act by
the Partnership or any other matter whatsoever involving the
Partnership; subject in each case to any requirements under
Section 7.02 that a Disinterested partner handle such activity.
(c) Subject to the Managing Partner's compliance
with Sections 7 and 17 herein, the signature of the Managing
Partner shall be sufficient to convey title to any assets or
property owned by the Partnership, or to lease, mortgage, lien or

Managing Partner shall be sufficient to execute any "statement of
partnership' or other documents necessary to effectuate this or
any other provision of this Agreement or to satisfy any
requirement of the Act or of other applicable law.

Partner until care, custody and control of the Project is turned
over to the Partnership by the turnkey Contractor, (or at such
earlier time as the Management Committee determines is necessary
to avoid ownership problems under PURPA), at which point O'Brien

until it resigns or is replaced pursuant to Section 6.03, or
until it ceases to be a Partner.
6.03 If an Event of Default by the Managing partner
occurs, the non-Managing Partners may elect to remove the

Managing Partner. If, at the time of removal, there is only one
other Partner, such Partner will become the Managing Partner. If

such position if fulfillment of such responsibilities will
jeopardize the Project's qualifying facility status under PURPA.
6.05 Any Partner (including the Managing Partner) may
appoint, employ, or contract with any Person to assist it in
fulfilling its duties hereunder, but may not delegate its powers,
rights or obligations hereunder to such Person, and only so long

is at no cost to the other Partners or to the Partnership.
6.06 Each Partner hereby makes, constitutes, and
appoints the Managing Partner its true and lawful attorney-in-
fact for the express purposes contained in this Section 6.06 (and
no others) and authorizes it to act in its name, place, and stead

as now or hereafter amended, which are required to admit any
substituted Partner in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement; and (iii) all certificates of cancellation and other
instruments which shall be required by applicable law to effect
the dissolution and termination of the Partnership; provided that
any such actions are taken in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement. The power of attorney granted
herein may be exercised by any such attorney-in-fact by listing
the Partners executing any agreement, certificate, instrument, or
other document with the single signature of any such attorney-in-
fact acting as attorney-in-fact for such Partners.

including legal and accounting costs, shall be payable by the

SECTION 7. PARTNERSHIP DECISION MAKING; MAJOR DECISIONS
7.01 (a) For those decisions requiring a vote of the
Partners (i.e., those decisions for which the Managing Partner
does not have sole authority under paragraph 6.01), the Partners
14
shall have a vote equal to their respective Partner Percentage.
The Partnership shall execute its decision making through a
Management Committee, established pursuant to sub-paragraph (b)
below.
(b) The Management Committee shall consist of one
non-voting General Manager appointed by the Managing Partner, and
one voting member from each of Adwin, O'Brien and Trigen. The
Management Committee shall be chaired by the General Manager, and
shall meet quarterly at the offices of the Managing Partner, or
at such other location as may be mutually agreeable. The agenda
for each meeting of the Management Committee will consist of an
Operations Report (which shall address Project availability,
efficiency, net projection, equipment runtime, PURPA
calculations, equipment condition, permit compliance, and
explanation of any downtime), a Financial Report (which shall
address net income, balance sheet, available cash, deviations
from approved budgets, loan balances, and recommendations for
distributions), a Third Party Relationships Report (which shall
address relations with lenders, customers, contractors/vendors,
permitting and regulatory bodies, neighbors and the press), and a
Major Decision Report, with recommendations on Major Decisions to
be made. Minutes of the meetings of the Management Committee
shall be maintained by the General Manager and a copy served on
each Partner within five (5) business days after any meeting of
the Committee. The General Manager shall ensure that (1)
unaudited annual financial statements are ready for review and
approval by the end of February of each year and that audited
financial statements are ready for approval by the end of March
of each year, (2) annual tax returns are ready for review and
approval by April 1 of each year, and (3) annual staffing plans
and proposed annual budgets are ready for review by October 1 of
each year. To the extent possible, the Management Committee will
seek to make "Major Decisions" (as defined in Section 7.04) by
consensus. In the absence of a consensus, the provisions of
Section 7 shall control.
(c) Special meetings of the Management Committee
may be called by Partners holding at least thirty-three and one-
third percent (33 1/3%) of the voting interests in the
Partnership upon reasonable written or telephonic notice to the
other Partners. Meeting of the Management Committee shall be
authorized if a quorum representing fifty0one percent (51%) or
more of the voting interests in the Partnership is represented
either in person or by proxy. Any meeting of the Management
Committee may be held by conference telephone or similar
telecommunications arrangement whereby all Partners in attendance
may hear one another. Any action that may betaken at a meeting
of the Partners may be taken, without a meeting, by the unanimous
written consent of those Partners holding voting interests
15
sufficient to approve such action pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.
7.02 To avoid the appearance of any conflict of
interest, the Management Committee shall assign primary
responsibility for the negotiation and monitoring of any
agreements, or amendments thereto, between the Partnership and a
Partner (or an Affiliate thereof) to a Disinterested Partner
unless there is no Disinterested Partner. For purposes of this
Agreement, a "Disinterested partner" as to a particular decision
is one which neither (1) is a contracting party or an Affiliate
of such contracting party with respect to said decisions, nor (2)
has a financial interest in the agreement that is the subject of
the decision which is materially different from the financial
interest of the remaining partners or the Partnership, due to a
separate agreement with the contracting party or its Affiliate.
The Disinterested Partner shall have no authority to make final
decisions with respect to said agreements, but shall have the
primary responsibility for negotiating or monitoring the terms of
such agreements or amendments, subject to approval by the
Partnership, as set out in Sections 7.03 and 7.04. If the
Managing Partner is not a Disinterested Partner and is,
therefore, not assigned to any such negotiation or monitoring
responsibility, it shall nevertheless assist and consult with the
assigned Disinterested Partner, including attendance at
negotiation sessions, if requested.
7.03 With the exception of those decisions set out in
Sections 7.04, any decisions which is supported by fifty-one
percent (51%) or more of the voting interests of the Partners
shall be deemed to be a decision or act of the Partnership.
Unless there is no Disinterested Partner, and notwithstanding any
provisions herein to the contrary, the vote of a majority of the
voting interests held by the Disinterested Partners (or the
unanimous consent of the voting interests held by the
Disinterested Partners for decisions covered by Section 7.04)
shall be required for those actions of the Partnership which
specially affect the interests of one Partner, either because
such Partner or an Affiliate thereof has a separate contract with
the Partnership involving such decision or has a financial
interest in the decision which is materially different from the
financial interests of the remaining Partners or the Partnership,
due to a separate agreement with the contracting party or its
Affiliate (such a decision is hereinafter referred to as
"Affiliated party Decision"). Without limiting the foregoing, an
Affiliated party Decision shall include waivers, elections,
default notices and the initiation of enforcement actions under,
and the execution, modification, or termination or, contracts
between the Partnership and a Partner or Affiliate of such
Partner.
16
7.04 Any of the actions specified below (each, a "Major
Decision") may be taken only if agreed upon by a unanimous vote
of the Disinterested Partners with respect to any such decision
if such decision involves an "Affiliated party Decision";
otherwise, the unanimous vote of all partners shall be required.
The following actions shall be covered by this paragraph:
(a) Any action which would change or materially
or adversely affect the purpose or business of the Partnership as
specified in Section 4;
(b) Any issuance of additional interests in the
Partnership or the admission of any Person as a Partner;
(c) Any material modification to the Project

(d) Any execution by the Partnership of any
unbudgeted agreement with a term greater than one year or
involving the expenditure or incurrence of liability, or a
potential liability, in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000), As Adjusted, in the aggregate;
(e) Any sale, assignment, or grant of mortgage or
other encumbrance involving all or substantially all of the
assets of the Partnership; provided, however, that this clause
shall not apply to the leasing or installment purchase of office
and related equipment and vehicles;
(f) The incurring of unbudgeted indebtedness, or
a potential indebtedness, by the Partnership in excess of One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), As Adjusted, per occurrence
or Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000), As Adjusted, in the
aggregate on an annual basis;
(g) The determination of compensation for
professionals and consultants retained by the Partnership;
(h) Any material modifications to an insurance
and indemnity program for the Partnership, including any
modification which involves an expenditure or the incurrence of
liability, or a potential liability, in excess of Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000), As Adjusted, in the aggregate;
(i) Approval of the annual operating budget for
any calendar year and approval of any action or actions, which
17
in the aggregate result is an increase than five percent (5%) in
the expenditures or a decrease of greater than five percent (5%)
in the revenues of or to the Partnership as set forth in the
approved annual operating budget;
(j) The dissolution of the Partnership, except
under Section 21.01(iv);
(k) Disposition of assets of the Partnership upon
dissolution or termination of the Partnership;
(l) The distribution of cash or other assets to
the Partners, the establishment of any reserves not required by
the Lenders or the determination of Disbursable Assets;
(m) The merger or consolidation of the
Partnership with or into any Person; and
(n) The decisions identified in Section 6.01(d).
7.05 Whenever any Partner is requested to evidence its
approval of or agreement to any decision or action of any nature
whatsoever that requires consent of the Partners, the Partner to
whom such request has been made shall respond to such request
with reasonable promptness. Commensurate with the nature of the
approval, action or agreement being sought, the partner to whom
the request is made shall advise the requesting Partner(s) of its
approval or its reasons for withholding the same. If the request
for approval, agreement or other action is in writing, the
response must also be in writing.
SECTION 8. TERM; TERMINATION
8.01 The Partnership shall continue in existence until
the first to occur of the following events: (a) the date
determined by unanimous decision of the Partners to dissolve the
Partnership; (b) the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Partnership; (c) the withdrawal by any Partner
resulting in less than two remaining Partners, unless, if there
is a sole remaining Partner, a second Partner is admitted within
the time required by applicable law; (d) the occurrence of an
event specified under applicable law resulting in a dissolution
of the Partnership unless, pursuant to applicable law, the
Partners elect to continue the business of the Partnership; (e)
December 31, k2035; or (f) the dissolution of the Partnership due
to an Event of Default or otherwise in accordance with this
Agreement.
18
8.02 Upon termination of this Agreement, none of the
Partners shall have any further liability to each other, except
any liability which expressly survives pursuant to Section 30.02
of this Agreement.
SECTION 9. SCOPE OF AUTHORITY
9.01 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, no Partner shall have any authority to bind or act
for, or in the name of, or assume any obligations or
responsibilities on behalf of, the other Partners or the
Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall be
responsible or liable for any indebtedness of a Partner, whether
incurred or arising before or after the execution of this
Agreement, except those responsibilities, liabilities,
indebtedness or obligations expressly assumed by such Partner or
the Partnership in writing. This Agreement shall not be deemed
to create a general partnership among the Partners with respect
to any activities whatsoever, other than activities within the
scope and purpose of the Partnership.
SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION
10.01 Each Partner hereby indemnifies and holds
harmless the partnership as well as the other Partners(s) and
their or its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and
agents from and against any and all claims, demands, losses,
damages, liabilities, lawsuits and other proceedings, judgments
and awards, and costs and expenses (including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys' fees) arising directly or indirectly, in
whole or in part, out of any breach of the provisions of this
Agreement by such Partner or its Affiliate, director, officer,
employee or agent.
10.02 Except as provided in non-waivable provisions
of applicable law:
(a) The Partnership hereby indemnifies each
Partner (and its officers, directors, employees and agents) from
and against any liability resulting from any act omitted or
performed by such Partner (or its officer, director, employee or
agent) in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and in a manner
reasonably believed by such Partner (or its officer, director,
employee, or agent) to be within the scope of the authority
conferred upon such Partner by this Agreement and in the best
interests of the Partnership.
19
(b) No Partner (and no officer, director,
employee or agent of a Partner) shall be liable, responsible or
accountable, in damages or otherwise, to the Partnership or the
partners for or as a result of any act, omission or error in
judgment which was taken, omitted or made by it in good faith on
behalf of the Partnership and in a manner reasonably believed by
it to be within the scope of the authority granted to it by this
Agreement and in the best interests of the Partnership. A
Partner may consult with such legal or other professional counsel
as it may select. Any action taken or omitted by it in good
faith reliance on, and in accordance with, the opinion or advice
of such counsel shall afford full protection and justification to
it with respect to the action taken or omitted.
(c) The Partnership may reimburse a partner for
all expenses, including reasonable legal fees, and losses in
connection with any suit or action involving Partnership business
(but no in connection with any action brought by one Partner
against another). Any such indemnification and advancement of
expenses agreed to by the Partnership shall not be exclusive of
any other right available to the Partners, unless otherwise
provided in extending the offer thereof. The Partnership shall
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Partners against
liability.
SECTION 11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES
11.01 No Partner, except as provided in Section
3.05, shall be liable to any third Person for losses, liabilities
or obligations of the Partnership (except as otherwise expressly
agreed to in writing by such Partner) unless the assets of the
Partnership shall first have been exhausted.
11.02 Unless otherwise decided by the Partnership,
the Partnership shall not enter into any contract, lease,
sublease, note, deed of trust, or other agreement unless there is
contained in such instrument an appropriate provision which (a)
limits the claims of all parties to, and beneficiaries under,
such instrument to the assets of the Partnership and (b)
expressly waives any rights of such parties and other
beneficiaries to proceed against the Partners individually. To
the extent the Partnership has entered into any contract, lease,
sublease, note or other agreement in violation of this
requirement prior to the date of this Agreement, the Partners
hereby waive any violation of the provisions of this Section.
11.03 Unless due to a Partner's willful misconduct,
gross negligence, actions taken in bad faith, or actions taken by
a Partner for which there was no basis for the Partner to form a
20
reasonable belief that such actions were in compliance with the
Affiliated Party Decision requirements of Section 7.03, in no
event shall any Partner be liable to any other Partner for
indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages including,
but not limited to loss of revenue, loss of profit, cost of
capital, or loss of opportunity, regardless of whether such
liability arises out of contract, tort (including negligence),
strict liability, or otherwise.
SECTION 12. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
12.01 A separate "Capital Account" shall be
maintained for each Partner in accordance with applicable United
States Treasury regulations. Upon execution of this Agreement,
the Capital Accounts of Adwin and O'Brien shall consist of the
Unreimbursed Development Costs set out in Exhibit A plus their
respective shares of the Project Equity Contribution set out in
Section 3.03. The Capital Account of Trigen shall consist of its
share of the Project Equity Contribution. The resulting initial
Capital Accounts of the Partners are set out in Exhibit A.
Following execution of this Agreement, the Capital Account of
each Partner shall be:
(a) increased by (i) the amount of cash and Fair
Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by the
Partnership and liabilities to which the property is subject)
contributed by such Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this
Agreement; (ii) the items of income and gain allocated to such
Partner in accordance with Section 13.01; and (iii) any positive
adjustment to such Capital Account by reason of an adjustment to
the Carrying Value of Partnership Assets;
(b) decreased by (i) the amount of case and Fair
Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by the Partner
and liabilities to which the property is subject) distributed to
such Partner by the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement; (ii)
the items of loss and deduction allocated to such Partner in
accordance with Section 13.01; and (iii) any negative adjustment
to such Capital Account by reason of an adjustment to the
Carrying Value of Partnership Assets.
12.02 Immediately prior to the distribution of any
property (other than cash) to a Partner, the Capital Account of
each Partner shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be,
to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss
and deduction inherent in such property (that has not previously
been reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners) would be
allocated among the Partners in accordance with GAAP as if there
21
had been a taxable disposition of such property for its Fair
Value.
SECTION 13. ALLOCATION
13.01 For purposes of making allocations to Capital
Accounts, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit
of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in
accordance with their respective Partner Percentages.
13.02 Any allocation pursuant to Section 13.01
will, however, be subject to any adjustment required to comply
with Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder including, without limitation, adjustments
with respect to any nonrecourse deduction or minimum gain
chargeback within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section
1.704-2. Any special allocations of items pursuant to this
Section 13.02 shall be taken into account, to the extent
permitted by the Treasury Regulations, in computing subsequent
allocations of income, gain, loss or deductions pursuant to
Section 13.01 or 13.03 so that the net amount of any items so
allocated and all other items allocated to each Partner over the
life of the Partnership shall, to the extent possible, be equal
to the amount that would have been allocated to each Partner
pursuant to Section 13.02 had such special allocation not
occurred.
13.03 For purposes of making allocations for
federal, state, and local income tax purposes, all items of
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit realized by the
Partnership shall, for each fiscal period, be allocated, among
the Partners in the same manner as the correlative items of
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit were allocated pursuant
to Section 13.01.
SECTION 14. DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS
14.01 Subject to Section 24, and as permitted by
the Partnership's Lenders, the Partnership shall distribute its
Disbursable Assets, if any, for each fiscal quarter to the
Partners simultaneously in accordance with the Partner Percentage
of each Partner.
SECTION 15. BOOKS, RECORDS AND ACCOUNTS
15.01 The Partnership shall maintain, at its
principal office, full and accurate accounts and financial
records which all Partners shall have the right to inspect and
examine during
22
reasonable business hours. In addition, each Partner may
designate a Person or Persons to inspect, examine and audit such
accounts and financial records and to make copies of documents
deemed appropriate during regular business hours at such
Partner's sole cost and expense. The Managing Partner shall keep
or cause such books to be kept and shall fully and accurately
enter all transactions of the Partnership in the books. Such
books and records of account shall be maintained on the accrual
basis and shall be adequate to provide each partner with all
financial information that may be needed buy such Partner or any
of its Affiliates for purposes of satisfying the financial and
tax reporting obligations of such Partner or Affiliate. Such
books shall be closed and balanced at the end of each fiscal
year. The Managing Partner will furnish financial statements,
prepared in accordance with GAAP, to each Partner within thirty
(30) days following the end of each quarter. On or before March
1 of each year, the partnership will furnish each Partner, for
the prior calendar year, audited financial statements of the
Partnership. At the request of any Partner, the Partnership
shall give specific answers to questions upon which information
is desired from time-to-time relative to the income, assets,
liabilities, contracts, operations, condition of the property,
status of any loans and any other data with respect to the
Partnership or its property.
15.02 The Partnership shall engage as independent
auditors for the Partnership the firm recommended by the Managing
Partner, and approved by the Management Committee. The
independent auditors shall at the end of each fiscal year (i)
audit the records and accounts of the Partnership and (ii) render
their opinion on the statements of financial condition of the
Partnership as of the end of each fiscal year and related
statements of income and changes in financial condition for each
fiscal year.
SECTION 16. TAX RETURNS; TAX ACCOUNTING; TAX ELECTIONS
16.01 It is the intention of the parties that the
relationship created by this Agreement will, for federal, state,
local and foreign purposes, be treated as a partnership. The
Partners agree to take all action, including the amendment of
this Agreement and the execution of other documents, as may be
required to qualify for and receive such tax treatment. Subject
to the provisions of Section 16.04, all of the Partnership's
elections for federal and state tax purposes, except those
specifically reserved by the Code to be made by the individual
Partners, shall be determined by the "Tax Matters Partner" (as
defined in Section 16.05) and approved by the other Partners.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 16.01, the
23
Partnership's federal and state tax returns of the Partnership
shall be reviewed and approved by each Partner. Any Partner who
objects to the presentation of any Partnership item on any such
return shall so notify the Managing partner in writing within
fifteen (15) days after the date on which the income tax return
in question was furnished to such Partner by the Partnership's
independent auditors. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable
detail the nature of, and basis for, each such objection. Copies
of such notice shall be provided to the other Partners and to the
independent auditors. If the Partners cannot agree upon a
mutually satisfactory resolution of any disputed item, any
Partner who objects to the majority decision of the Partners
shall be entitled to take an inconsistent position with respect
to any unresolved items on its own income tax return. In all
other respects each partner shall report the results of the
operation of the partnership on its own returns in a manner
consistent with the manner in which such results were reported by
the Partnership.
16.02 Income tax returns of the Partnership shall
be prepared by the independent auditors. Copies of all income
tax returns of the Partnership shall be furnished to each of the
Partners for review and approval by April 1 of each year for
filing such returns, including extensions, if any. If any
Partner shall fail to approve any such return, an application for
an extension of time to file shall be timely filed. If all
Partners fail to approve the return prior to the expiration of
the extension period, the Managing Partner shall file the return
as approved by a majority-in-interest of the Partners, subject to
the provisions of Section 16.01.
16.03 The fiscal year and the tax year of the
Partnership shall end on December 31 of each year.
16.04 The Partnership shall, if requested by any
Partner, make the election provided under Section 754 of the
Code.
16.05 The Managing Partner is hereby designated as
the "Tax Matters Partner," pursuant to Section 6231 of the Code
and the applicable regulations thereunder.
16.06 Prompt notice shall be given to the Partners
upon receipt of notice that the Internal Revenue Service or any
other taxing authority intends to examine partnership tax returns
for any period. The Tax Matters partner shall promptly supply to
the other Partners copies of any communications with any taxing
authority relating to any audit of any tax returns filed by or on
behalf of the Partnership which involve any material issue and
shall take such other steps as may be appropriate to keep the
24
other Partners fully informed about the course of the audit and
any other administrative or judicial proceeding relating thereto.
The Tax Matters partner shall not settle any material claim for
additional taxes, interest or penalties, or other adjustments to
the Partnership's tax returns without first obtaining the
approval of the Management Committee.
SECTION 17. BANK ACCOUNTS
17.01 Except as otherwise required by the Lenders,
all funds shall be deposited in the name of partnership in such
account or accounts as shall be designated by the Managing
Partner. Except as provided below or as otherwise required by
the Partnership's Lenders, all withdrawals therefrom shall be
made upon checks signed (i) by the chief executive officer, the
chief operations office, or the chief financial officer of the
Managing Partner and (ii) by such additional person or persons as
shall be designated by the Managing Partner from time-to-time.
Any withdrawal in excess of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000)
which is out of the ordinary course of business of the
Partnership or outside the scope of the approved annual budget,
shall be approved in writing by the Managing Partner and at least
one other Partner. The Managing Partner shall have no authority
to approve withdrawals to itself or its Affiliates that are
outside the scope of the approved annual budget, without the
approval of the Partnership, which decision shall not be
unreasonably delayed.
SECTION 18. TRANSFER OF A PARTNER'S INTEREST
18.01 No Partner may sell, assign or encumber all
or any part of its interest in the partnership unless each of the
conditions set forth herein are satisfied or waived by consent of
the partners; provided, however, that each partner may transfer
all or a portion of its interest in the Partnership to an
Affiliate without the consent of, but with notice to the other
Partner(s); provided, however, that such transfer does not cause
the Project to lose its status as a "qualifying cogeneration
facility" under PURPA. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this agreement, no partner may sell or assign all or any part of
its interest in the Partnership if such sale or assignment would
result in a total of more than three (3) Partners in the
Partnership, unless to remedy a failed capital call under Section
3.05, or to remedy a potential violation of the ownership
requirements under PURPA, pursuant to Section 18.02 below.
18.02 If it is determined that the ownership of
interests in the Partnership by any Partner would cause the
25
Project to cease being a "qualifying cogeneration facility" under
PURPA or would cause the Partnership to be regulated pursuant to
the Public Utility Holding Company Act, each Partner agrees,
consistent with the provisions of the Agreement, to reduce its
Partnership Interest, pro rata to its Partner Percentage, to a
level which avoids loss of "qualifying facility" status. Each
Partner agrees that it will not transfer any interest in the
Partnership, the result of which transfer would cause a loss of
"qualify facility" status. No transfer shall be allowed or be
effective unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Management Committee is obtained stating that such transfer would
not (i) cause the Partnership to be classified as an entity other
than a partnership for purposes of the Code or to be treated as a
publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of
the Code, (ii) require registration under the Securities Act of
1933 and would not violate or cause the Partnership to violate
any applicable law, and (iii) adversely affect the status of the
Project as a qualifying facility under PURPA.
18.3 As a condition to the transfer of any interest,
the transferee shall execute and deliver to each remaining
Partner an instrument pursuant to which it agrees to be bound by
the terms of this Agreement and such additional instruments and
documents as may be reasonably required by the remaining
Partners.
SECTION 19. FIRST RIGHT OF PURCHASE
19.01 If, at any time, any Partner desires to sell
all or any portion of its interest (other than a sale by a
Partner to any Affiliate), such Partner shall give the other
Partners notice of its intention to seek a purchaser for such
interest promptly after making the determination to do so. Such
Partner, upon securing a bona fide offer to purchase such
interest intended to be sold shall give the other Partners notice
of (a) the price (which shall be a dollar sum), (b) the identity
of the proposed purchaser (if then known to the seller) and (c)
all other terms of sale. The Remaining Partners shall have the
right pro rata to their Partner Percentage, during the forty-five
(45) day period after the giving of the notice of the proposed
sale and its terms to enter into agreement to purchase all of the
interest specified in the notice (which price shall be prorated
if the Remaining Partners want o purchase only a portion of the
interest being offered for sale) and upon the terms set forth in
the notice. In the event less than all of the Remaining Partners
determine to purchase the interest to be sold within the said
forty-five (45) day period, those Remaining Partners who elect to
purchase shall have the right within the ten (10) day period to
26
purchase the interest to be sold in the same proportion as the
Partner Percentage of each purchasing Remaining Partner bears to
the total Partner Percentage of all such purchasing Remaining
Partners. If none of the remaining Partners elect to purchase
the seller Partner's interest to be sold within the said time
periods, the selling Partner shall be free for a period of thirty
(30) days thereafter to sell the interest to be sold to the
proposed purchaser on the same terms and conditions contained in
the notice to the Remaining Partners of the proposed sale. If
the said sale is not effected within the said thirty (30) day
period, any subsequent sale must again comply with the
requirements of this Section. Settlement under any purchase
agreement entered into by one or more of the Remaining Partners
pursuant to this Section shall occur within ninety (90) days of
the execution of a written purchase agreement.
SECTION 20. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
20.01 Each of the following shall be considered to
be an "Event of Default" by a partner:
(a) such Partner shall be named a debtor in any
petition, whether voluntary or involuntary, in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding, whether state or federal, and such
petition is not stayed or dismissed within sixty days;
(b) such Partner shall enter into an assignment
for the benefit of creditors;
(c) such Partner shall have a receiver appointed
to administer its interest in the Partnership;
(d) such Partner shall have its Partnership
interest seized by a general creditor;
(e) it shall become unlawful for such Partner to
carry on the business of owning an interest in the Partnership;
(f) Except for a failure to make a capital call
pursuant to Section 3.05, such Partner defaults in the
performance of, or fails to comply with, any material obligation
or agreement set out in this Agreement, and has not cured such
default within thirty (30) days after notice from any of the
remaining Partners of such default;
(g) such Partner commits fraud, is convicted of a
crime, or violates the Affiliated Party provisions of Section
7.02; or
27
(h) such Partner is either dissolved or
liquidated.
20.02 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the nondefaulting Partner(s) may, in addition to all other
remedies at law or in equity to which such Partner(s) may be
entitled, elect to purchase the defaulting Partner's interest in
the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of Section 22.
SECTION 21. DISSOLUTION
21.01 The Partnership shall dissolve upon the first
to occur of (i) termination of the Partnership pursuant to
Section 8.01, (ii) such time as the last Project Document expires
by its terms and no longer requires, or prospectively could
require, administration by the Partnership, (iii) upon the
withdrawal of a Partner or upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default as to a Partner under Sections 20.01(a), (b), (c), (d),
or (e), unless all of the remaining, non-defaulting Partners
agree, in writing, to continue the business of the Partnership,
or (iv) upon an Event of Default as to Partner under Section
20.01(f) if the non-defaulting Partners elect to dissolve the
Partnership.
SECTION 22. PURCHASE OF DEFAULTING PARTNER'S INTEREST
22.01 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
by any Partner (the "Defaulting Partner"), the other Partner(s)
(the "Remaining Partner(s)") shall have the right to acquire the
Partnership interest of the Defaulting Partner for cash, in
proportion to the respective Partner Percentage of the Remaining
Partners, or if only one Partner remains, all of the Defaulting
Partner's interest, at a price determined pursuant to the
procedure set forth in Section 22.04. If any Remaining Partner
should elect not to purchase its pro rata share of the Defaulting
Partner's interest, the remaining Partner(s) may purchase the pro
rata share of the Defaulting Partner's interest to which the
Partner who chooses not to participate in the buy out of the
Defaulting Partner's interest would otherwise be entitled. The
Remaining Partner(s) may notify the Defaulting Partner at any
time within thirty (3) days of their knowledge of an Event of
Default of its or their election to institute the procedures set
forth in Section 22.04. Upon receipt of notice of the
determination of the Net Fair Market Value of the Defaulting
Partner's interest, the Remaining Partner(s) may notify the
Defaulting Partner of its or their election to purchase the
interest of the Defaulting Partner.
28
22.02 The closing of any purchase pursuant to this
Section 22 shall take place at the principal office of the
Partnership, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Remaining
Partner(s), on a date specified by the Remaining Partner(s) that
is not less than ten (10) days following receipt of notice of
determination of the Net Fair Market Value of the Defaulting
Partner's Partnership interest pursuant to Sections 22.04 or
22.05. Upon closing of such purchase, the Remaining Partner or
Partners may elect to offset against the purchase price the
amount of any loss, damage or injury, the amount of which has
been established by a final nonappealable judgment, suffered by
it or incurred as a result of the default of the Defaulting
Partner.
22.03 The right of a single Remaining Partner to
elect to acquire the entire interest of the Defaulting Partner as
set forth in this Section 22, is independent of the Remaining
Partner' s right to elect to dissolve and terminate the
Partnership pursuant to Section 21 of this Agreement by sixty
(60) days written notice to the Defaulting Partner.
22.04 The "Net Fair Market Value" of an interest in
the Partnership for purposes of a purchase pursuant to this
Section 22 shall be determined as follows:
(a) The Partners shall first attempt to agree
upon the "Net Fair Market Value" of the Partnership as a whole.
The "Net Fair Market Value" of the Partnership shall mean the
cash price at which a sophisticated purchaser would purchase, and
a sophisticated seller would sell, one hundred percent (100%) of
the interests in the Partnership, with neither party being under
any compulsion to effect such transaction and with both parties
being reasonably informed as to all material facts.
(b) In the event the Partners are unable to
mutually agree upon the Net Fair Market Value of the Partnership
for purposes of Section 22.04 within thirty (30) days of the date
the remaining Partners notify the Defaulting Partner to institute
the procedures set forth in Section 22.04, the Partners shall
then attempt to agree upon the appointment of two disinterested
appraisers who shall be members of the American Institute of
Appraisers. If the Partners are unable to agree upon the
selection of two appraisers within seventy five days, then each
partner shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, select a single
appraiser so qualified and such two appraisers shall select a
third appraiser so qualified. Each appraiser so selected shall
furnish the Partners with a written appraisal within ninety (90)
days of the selection, setting forth such appraiser's
determination of the Net Fair Market Value of the Partnership.
The average of the two closest valuation of such appraisers
29
shall be treated as the Net Fair Market Value of the Partnership,
and such amount shall be final and binding on the Partners. The
cost of such appraisal shall be an expense of the Defaulting
Partner.
(c) The Net Fair Market Value of the Defaulting
Partner's Interest to be purchased pursuant to this Section 22
shall equal the greater of the positive balance, if any, in the
defaulting Partner's "Adjusted Capital Account" or $100. For
this purpose, the Defaulting Partner's Adjusted Capital Account
shall equal such Partner's Capital Account on the date of the
valuation of the Net Fair Market Value plus or minus the net gain
or loss which would have been credited or debited to such account
if: (i) the Partnership's assets had been sold on such date at a
price equal to the Net Fair Market Value of the Partnership and
(ii) the net gain or net loss so determined were allocated among
the Partners in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.
SECTION 23. WINDING UP
23.01 Upon dissolution of the Partnership pursuant
to Section 21 the Partnership shall immediately commence to wind
up its affairs and the Managing Partner shall proceed with
reasonable promptness to liquidate the business of the
Partnership and take account of the assets and liabilities of the
Partnership as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the Fair
Value of such assets. During the period of the winding up of the
affairs of the Partnership, the rights and obligations of the
Partners set forth herein with respect to the management of the
Partnership shall continue to act as such subject to Section
7.02, unless Section 6.04 applies.
SECTION 24. DISTRIBUTIONS ON TERMINATION
24.01 The proceeds from a liquidation, together
with assets distributed in kind, shall be applied and distributed
in the following order:
(a) First, to the payment of debts and
liabilities of the third-party creditors of the Partnership, in
the order of priority provided by law and to the expenses of
liquidation;
(b) Second, to the establishment of any reserve
that the Partnership may deem reasonably necessary for any
contingent or unforeseen liabilities of the Partnership or of the
Partners arising out of or in connection with the Partnership.
Such reserves shall be paid to a trust to be held for the purpose
of disbursing such reserves in payment of any contingencies, and,
30
at the expiration of such period as the Partnership shall deem
advisable, to distribute the balance thereafter remaining in the
manner provided by this Section 25;
(c) Third, to the payment of any net indemnity
obligations owed Trigen by either Adwin and/or O'Brien under
Section 13 of the Acquisition Agreement, subject to the
requirement that any such indemnity payments be deducted from the
Unreimbursed Development Costs otherwise payable to Adwin and/or
O'Brien under subparagraph (d) below;
(d) Fourth, to the payment of any Unreimbursed
Development Costs as set out in Exhibit A (as adjusted pursuant
to subparagraph (c)), pro rata to the amounts owed to individual
Partners;
(e) Fifth, to the payment of any indebtedness
owed to the Partners by the Partnership, pro rata to the amounts
owed to individual Partners;
(f) Any balance then remaining shall be
distributed to the Partners (i) to the extent of the positive
balances of their Capital Accounts (after adjustments, if any,
for payments under (c) and (d) and any net indemnity payments
owed Adwin and O'Brien by Trigen pursuant to Section 14 of the
Acquisition Agreement, which amounts, if any, shall be deducted
from Trigen's Capital Account and credited to Adwin's and
O'Brien's Capital Accounts, as the case may be), as determined
after taking into account all adjustments to Capital Accounts for
the Partnership taxable year during which the liquidation occurs,
in the proportion of such positive balances and (ii) any excess
over Capital Account balances being distributed according to the
Partner Percentage of each Partner, by the end of such taxable
year or, if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such
liquidation. For purposes of determining Capital Accounts on
liquidation, all unrealized gains, losses and accrued income and
deductions are treated as realized and recognized immediately
before the date of distribution; and
(g) Every reasonable effort shall be made to
dispose of the assets of the Partnership so that all
distributions may be made to the Partners in cash. To the extent
such assets are not disposed of for cash, they will be offered
to each Partner and the Partner offering the highest cash price
for such assets shall have the right to purchase them, and the
proceeds from such sale(s) distributed to the Partners as
otherwise provided herein.
31
SECTION 25. DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS
25.01 All documents and records of the Partnership
including, without limitation, all financial records, vouchers,
canceled checks and bank statements shall be delivered to the
Managing Partner upon termination of the Partnership. Unless
otherwise approved by the Partnership, the Managing partner shall
retain such documents and records for a period of not less than
seven (7) years and shall make such documents and records
available during normal business hours to the other Partners for
inspection and copying at the other Partners' cost and expense;
provided, however, that if there is an audit or threat of audit,
such documents and records shall be retained until the audit is
completed and any tax liability finally determined.
SECTION 26. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
26.01 This Agreement, and the obligations and
rights of the Partners under this Agreement, shall be construed
and applied, so as to be in conformity with all environmental,
regulatory and other laws and rules and regulations of
governmental bodies applicable to the Partnership, or any
Partner, or any Affiliate of a Partner. In the event that this
Agreement, or the performance by any party of its obligations
hereunder, shall conflict with, or be contrary to, any such law,
rule or regulation, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith
to amend or modify this Agreement so as to comply with such law,
rule or regulation. In furtherance thereof, the Partners
acknowledge their intent to have the Project be and remain a
"qualifying cogeneration facility" under PURPA. Accordingly and
except for the provisions of Section 18.02 as to the transfer of
interests in the Partnership to maintain" qualifying cogeneration
facility" status, if the operation of any provision in this
Agreement results or, with the passage of time, will result in
the loss of such "qualifying cogeneration facility" status, the
Partners agree to negotiate in good faith to amend or modify this
Agreement so as to retain and continue such "qualifying
cogeneration facility" status.
SECTION 27. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

(10) days of notice of such a dispute in an effort to resolve the
matter.
(b) If the matter has not been resolved within
ten (10) days of the first meeting of the managers, or if the

arbitration under the commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association. Where no disclosed claim or
counterclaim exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), exclusive
of interest and arbitration costs, the arbitration shall be heard
and determined by one neutral arbitrator. Where any disclosed
claim or counterclaim exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000),

Complex Disputes then in effect.
(ii) Either party may initiate arbitration

the arbitrator(s) may be entered by any court having
jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator(s) shall have no authority
to award punitive or treble damages. The arbitration process

that it is initiated and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be
accompanied by a reasoned opinion if requested by either party.
The arbitration shall be conducted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
(d) (i) All deadlines specified in this Section
27 may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties.
(ii) The procedures specified in this Section
27 shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the
33

however, that a party may seek a preliminary injunction or other
preliminary judicial relief if, in its judgment, such action is
necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status
quo. Despite such action, the parties will continue to
participate in good faith in the procedures specified in this
Section 27.
(iii) All applicable statutes of
limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be
tolled while the procedures specified in this Section 27 are
pending. The parties will take such actions, if any, required to
effectuate such tolling.
(iv) All negotiations pursuant to this
Section 27 shall be confidential and shall be treated as
compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the
Federal Rules of Evidence and state rules of evidence.
(e) (i) Pending final resolution of any dispute,
the parties shall continue to fulfill their respective
obligations under this Agreement.
(ii) During any dispute concerning the
