acts which, from the character or use of the Trust Property, may be reasonably

in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture. Further, with respect to
the Navy Contract, the BLM North Leases, the BLM Rights-of-Way, the Navy II
Easement and Trustor's rights in and to the Steam Exchange Agreements
(collectively, the "Primary Rights"), Trustor hereby agrees as follows, except
as otherwise expressly permitted or required in the Indenture:
(a) not to amend, change, alter, cancel, surrender, release, waive,
supplement, terminate or modify, nor permit the amendment, change, alteration,
cancellation, surrender, release, waiver, supplement, termination, or
modification (each, an "Amendment") of any of the Primary Rights or the estate
or rights created thereby or any interest therein without the prior written
consent of Beneficiary. Consent to one Amendment shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of the right to require consent to other, future or successive
Amendments. Any Amendment, whether oral or in writing, made without the prior
written consent of Beneficiary, shall not be valid or effective;
(b) to make all payments and to keep and perform promptly each and
every covenant, obligation and agreement of the lessee, transferee, grantee,
licensee or holder (as the case may be) in the Primary Rights, not to commit,
suffer or permit any default thereunder and not to take any action or omit to
take any action which would effect or permit the termination or cancellation of
any of the Primary Rights. Trustor shall take all actions necessary to keep the
Primary Rights unimpaired. Trustor shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary copies
of all material notices, demands or complaints received by Trustor from the
United States Navy, the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land
Management (the "BLM"), CFP, CED or any other third party in connection with any
of the Primary Rights, and promptly notify Beneficiary in writing with respect
to any default or alleged default by any party thereto (whether or not a notice
of default has been issued under any of the Primary Rights) and deliver to
Beneficiary within ten (10) business days of Trustor's receipt of any notice of
default a certificate executed by Trustor describing the default, the actions
Trustor intends to take to cure such default, the length of time Trustor expects
to take to cure such default and the status of any actions taken to cure such
default. Trustor shall also furnish to Beneficiary such other information as
Beneficiary may reasonably request concerning Trustor's performance of its
covenants, obligations and agreements under or with respect to the Primary
Rights. Beneficiary shall have the option but not the obligation to cure any
such default and to perform any or all of Trustor's obligations thereunder;
(c) that any subordination of any of the Primary Rights to any fee
mortgage, to any lease, or to any other interest, either orally or in writing,
made without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, shall not be valid or
effective;
9
(d) that if any of the Primary Rights is terminated prior to the
natural termination of its term by reason of default of Trustor thereunder, and
if, pursuant to any provision of such Primary Rights, or otherwise, Beneficiary
or its designee shall acquire from the United States Navy, the BLM or any other
third party, as the case may be, a new contract, lease or right-of-way in
respect of the Site or any part thereof, then Trustor shall not have any right,
title or interest in or to such new contract, lease or right-of-way or the
estate created thereby; and
(e) that the provisions hereof shall be deemed to be obligations of
Trustor in addition to Trustor's obligations as lessee, grantee, transferee,
licensee or holder, as the case may be, with respect to any similar matters
contained in any of the Primary Rights, and the inclusion herein of any
covenants and agreements relating to similar matters as to which Trustor is
obligated under any of the Primary Rights shall not restrict or limit Trustor's
duties and obligations to keep and perform promptly all of its covenants,
agreements and obligations as lessee, grantee, transferee, licensee or holder,
as the case may be, under the Primary Rights; provided, however, that nothing in
this Deed of Trust shall be construed as requiring the taking of or the
committing to take any action by Trustor or Beneficiary which would cause a
default under any of the Primary Rights.
9. Further Transfer of Trust Property. Except as otherwise
----------------------------------
expressly permitted or required in the Indenture, without the prior written
consent of Beneficiary being first had and obtained, Trustor shall not (a)
execute or deliver any pledge, security agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or
other instrument of hypothecation covering all or any portion of the Trust
Property or any interest therein or (b) sell, contract to sell, lease with
option to purchase, convey, alienate, transfer, sublease or otherwise dispose of
all or any portion of the Trust Property or any interest therein, in each case
whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise. Consent
to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to
require consent to future or successive transactions. Beneficiary may grant or
deny such consent in its sole discretion and, if consent should be given, any
such transfer shall be subject to this Deed of Trust, and any such transferee
shall assume all obligations hereunder and agree to be bound by all provisions
contained herein and therein. Such assumption shall not, however, release
Trustor from any liability under this Deed of Trust without the written consent
of Beneficiary.
10. Eminent Domain. In the event that any proceeding or action be
--------------
commenced for the taking of the Trust Property, or any part thereof or interest
therein, for public or quasi-public use under the power of eminent domain,
condemnation or otherwise, or if the same be taken or damaged by reason of any
public improvement or condemnation proceedings, or in any other manner
(collectively, a "Condemnation"), or should Trustor receive any notice or other
information regarding such proceeding, action, taking or damage, Trustor shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall be
entitled to give or withhold its consent to any compromise or settlement in
connection with such taking or damage. All compensation, awards, damages,
rights of action and proceeds awarded to Trustor by reason of any such taking or
damage (the "Condemnation Proceeds") are hereby absolutely and unconditionally
assigned to Beneficiary, and Trustor agrees to execute such further assignments
of the Condemnation Proceeds as Beneficiary or Trustee may require. All such
Condemnation
10
Proceeds shall be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement of even date
herewith between Issuer and Trustor.
11. Assignment of Contracts. In addition to any other grant,
-----------------------
transfer or assignment effectuated hereby, and without in any manner limiting
the generality of the grants given above, Trustor shall assign to Beneficiary,
as security for the Obligations, Trustor's interest in all agreements,
contracts, leases, licenses and permits affecting the Site and Improvements in
any manner whatsoever, such assignments to be made, if so requested by
Beneficiary, by instruments in form satisfactory to Beneficiary; but no such
assignment shall be construed as a consent by Beneficiary to any agreement,
contract, license or permit so assigned, or to impose upon Beneficiary any
obligations with respect thereto.
12. Anti-Merger. There shall be no merger of any of the Primary
-----------
Rights or the estates or interests created thereby (collectively, the "Estate")
with the fee estate in the Site or any part thereof by reason of any of those
interests coming into common ownership, unless Beneficiary consents in writing
thereto. Further, if Trustor acquires any interest in the fee estate to the
Site or any part thereof, then the lien of this Deed of Trust will
simultaneously and without further action become extended to encumber Trustor's
interest in the fee estate in addition to remaining a lien on the Estate, and
Trustor agrees, upon request by Beneficiary and at no cost to Beneficiary, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Beneficiary all further instruments and
documents that Beneficiary believes to be appropriate to provide further
evidence of the lien of this Deed of Trust on such fee interest. Where the lien
of this Deed of Trust has been extended to cover any interest of Trustor in the
fee estate, then in the event of the exercise of any power of sale under this
Deed of Trust, Beneficiary will have the right to sell the Estate and the fee
interest of Trustor separately or together at the election of Beneficiary.
13. Documentary Stamps. If at any time the United States of America,
------------------
any state thereof or any governmental subdivision of any such state, shall
require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Financing Documents or this
Deed of Trust, or that any taxes be paid in connection with the Financing
Documents or this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall pay for the same, with interest
and penalties thereon, if any.
14. Right of Entry. Beneficiary, may at any reasonable time or times
--------------
make or cause to be made entry upon and inspection of the Trust Property or any
part thereof in person or by agent.
15. Event of Default. The term "Event of Default," whenever used in
----------------
this Deed of Trust, shall mean any one or more of the events of default listed
or otherwise provided in the Indenture or any other Financing Document, subject
to such cure rights as may be expressly set forth in the Indenture or such other
Financing Document (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or
come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance
with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation
of any administrative or governmental body).
16. Appointment of Receiver. Trustee or Beneficiary, in any action
-----------------------
(or multiple actions) to foreclose this Deed of Trust or exercise the power of
sale granted under this Deed of Trust or upon the actual or threatened waste to
any part of the Trust Property or upon the
11
occurrence of an Event of Default, shall be at liberty, without notice, to apply
for the appointment of a receiver, and shall be entitled to the appointment of
such receiver as a matter of right, without regard to the value of the Trust
Property as security for the Obligations, or the solvency or insolvency of any
Person then liable for the payment of the Obligations.
17. Non-Waiver. The failure of Beneficiary to insist upon strict
----------
performance of any term of this Deed of Trust shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of any term of this Deed of Trust. Trustor shall not be relieved of Trustor's
obligation to pay and perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner
provided for its payment in the Financing Documents and this Deed of Trust by
reason of (i) failure to comply with any request(s) of Trustor to take any
action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of the
provisions hereof or of the Financing Documents or any other mortgage, deed of
trust, instrument or document securing or guaranteeing the payment of the
Obligations or a portion thereof, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration,
of the whole or any part of the Trust Property or any other security for the
Obligations, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation between Beneficiary and any
subsequent owner or owners of the Trust Property or other Person extending the
time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of this Deed
of Trust or the Financing Documents evidencing, securing or guaranteeing payment
of the Obligations or any portion thereof, without first having obtained the
consent of Trustor (but without prejudice to the rights of Trustor under the
Financing Documents), and in the latter event, Trustor shall continue to be
obligated to pay and perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner
provided in the Financing Documents and this Deed of Trust, as so extended,
modified and supplemented, unless expressly released and discharged from such
obligation by Beneficiary in writing. Regardless of consideration, and without
the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate
lien, encumbrance, right, title or interest in or to the Trust Property,
Beneficiary may release any Person at any time liable for the payment of the
Obligations or any portion thereof or all or any part of the security held for
the Obligations and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms
of the Financing Documents or this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation,
a modification of the interest rate payable on the principal balance of the
Obligations, without in any manner impairing or affecting this Deed of Trust or
the lien thereof or the priority of this Deed of Trust, as so extended and
modified, as security for the Obligations over any such subordinate lien,
encumbrance, right, title or interest. Beneficiary may resort for the payment
of the Obligations to any other security held by Beneficiary in such order and
manner as Beneficiary in its discretion, may elect. Beneficiary may take action
to recover the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant
hereof without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to foreclose
this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary shall not be limited exclusively to the rights
and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every additional right and
remedy now or hereafter afforded by law or equity. The rights of Beneficiary
under this Deed of Trust shall be separate, distinct and cumulative, and none
shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Beneficiary
shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to
the exclusion of any other provision.
18. Power of Sale. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
-------------
an Event of Default, Beneficiary may at any time, at its option and in its sole
discretion, declare the Obligations to be due and payable and the same shall
thereupon become immediately due and payable, including any prepayment charge or
fee payable under the terms of the Financing Documents. Beneficiary may also do
any or all of the following; provided, however, that any of
12
the following actions shall be undertaken in a commercially reasonable manner
and in accordance with applicable law; and provided, further, that Beneficiary
shall have no obligation to do any of the following:
(a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action
or proceeding or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard to the
adequacy of Beneficiary's security, enter upon and take possession of the Trust
Property or any part hereof and do any acts which Beneficiary deems necessary or
desirable to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Trust
Property or to increase the income therefrom or to protect the security hereof
and with or without taking possession of any of the Trust Property, sue for or
otherwise collect all Rents and profits including those past due and unpaid, and
apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection including
attorneys' fees and expenses, upon the Obligations secured hereby with the
remainder, if any, to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto. The
collection of Rents and profits and the application thereof shall not cure or
waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done in
response thereto or pursuant to such notice.
(b) Bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to
foreclose this instrument or to enforce any of the covenants hereof.
(c) Exercise any or all of the remedies available to a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code.
(d) Beneficiary may elect to cause the Trust Property or any part
thereof to be sold under the power of sale herein granted in any manner
permitted by applicable law. In connection with any sale or sales hereunder,
Beneficiary may elect to treat any of the Trust Property which consists of a
right in action or which is property that can be severed from the real property
covered hereby or any improvements thereon without causing structural damage
thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in
accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of real
property. Any sale of any personal property hereunder shall be conducted in any
manner permitted by Section 9501 or any other applicable sections of the
California Uniform Commercial Code. Where the Trust Property consists of real
and personal property or fixtures, whether or not such personal property is
located on or within the real property, Beneficiary may elect in its discretion
to exercise its rights and remedies against any or all of the real property,
personal property, and fixtures in such order and manner as is now or hereafter
permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Beneficiary may at its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the
adequacy of its security elect to proceed against any or all of the real
property, personal property and fixtures in any manner permitted under Section
9501(4)(a) of the California Uniform Commercial Code; and if Beneficiary elects
to proceed in the manner permitted under Section 9501(4)(a)(ii) of the
California Uniform Commercial Code, the power of sale herein granted shall be
exercisable with respect to all or any of the real property and fixtures covered
hereby, as designated by Beneficiary, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered to conduct any such sale of any real property and fixtures in
accordance with the procedures applicable to real property. Where the Trust
Property consists of real property and personal property, any reinstatement of
the Obligations, following the occurrence of an Event of Default and an election
by Beneficiary to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations, which is made by
Trustor or any
13
other Person or entity permitted to exercise the right of reinstatement under
Section 2924c of the California Civil Code or any successor statute, shall, in
accordance with the terms of California Uniform Commercial Code Section
9501(4)(c)(iii), not prohibit Beneficiary from conducting a sale or other
disposition of any personal property or fixtures or from otherwise proceeding
against or continuing to proceed against any personal property or fixtures in
any manner permitted by the California Uniform Commercial Code; nor shall any
such reinstatement invalidate, rescind or otherwise affect any sale, disposition
or other proceeding held, conducted or instituted with respect to any personal
property or fixtures prior to such reinstatement. Any sums paid to Beneficiary
in effecting any reinstatement pursuant to Section 2924c of the California Civil
Code shall be applied to the Obligations and to Beneficiary's and Trustee's
reasonable costs and expenses in the manner required by such Section 2924c.
Should Beneficiary elect to sell any of the Trust Property which is real
property or which is personal property or fixtures that Beneficiary has elected
under Section 9501(4)(a)(ii) of the California Uniform Commercial Code to sell
together with real property in accordance with the laws governing a sale of real
property, such notice of default and election to sell shall be given as may then
be required by law. Thereafter, upon the expiration of such time and the giving
of such notice of sale as may then be required by law, at the time and place
specified in the notice of sale, Trustee shall sell such property, or any
portion thereof specified by Beneficiary, at public auction to the highest
bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States. Trustee may, and upon
request of Beneficiary shall, from time to time, postpone the sale by public
announcement thereof at the time and place noticed therefor. If the Trust
Property consists of several lots, parcels or interests, Beneficiary may
designate the order in which the same shall be offered for sale or sold. Should
Beneficiary desire that more than one such sale or other disposition be
conducted, Beneficiary may, at its option, cause the same to be conducted
simultaneously, or successively on the same day, or at such different days or
times and in such order as Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interest. Any
Person, including Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary may purchase at the sale. In
the event Beneficiary elects to dispose of the Trust Property through more than
one sale, Trustor agrees to pay the costs and expenses of each such sale and of
any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, including reasonable
compensation to Trustee and Beneficiary, their agents and counsel, and to pay
all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Trustee in connection
with such sale or sales, together with interest on all such advances made by
Trustee at the interest rate then applicable to the indebtedness to which the
Financing Documents apply. Upon any sale Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the purchaser or purchasers a deed or deeds conveying the property so sold but
without any covenant or warranty whatsoever express or implied, whereupon such
purchaser or purchasers shall be let into immediate possession, and the recitals
in any such deed or deeds of facts such as default, the giving of notice of
default and notice of sale, and other facts affecting the regularity or validity
of such sale or disposition, shall be conclusive proof of the truth of such
facts and any such deed or deeds shall be conclusive against all Persons as to
such facts recited therein.
(e) Exercise each of its other rights and remedies under this Deed of
Trust or the other Financing Documents, including, without limitation, any or
all of the following:
(i) exercise the rights of acceleration set forth in the Indenture,
and if the indebtedness is not paid on demand, at Beneficiary's option, (1)
bring suit therefor and demand payment thereof, (2) bring suit under the
Guarantee and/or the Indenture and/or
14
(3) take any and all steps and institute any and all other proceedings that
Beneficiary deems necessary to enforce the indebtedness and obligations
secured hereby and to protect the lien of this Deed of Trust;
(ii) without assuming liability for the performance of any of
Trustor's obligations hereunder, under the Guarantee or under any Financing
Document, enter and take possession of the Trust Property or any part
thereof, exclude Trustor and all Persons claiming under Trustor whose
claims are junior to this Deed of Trust, wholly or partly therefrom, and
use, operate, manage and control the same either in the name of Trustor or
otherwise as Beneficiary shall deem best, and upon such entry, from time to
time at the expense of Trustor and the Trust Property, make all such
repairs, replacements, alterations, additions or improvements to the Trust
Property or any part thereof as Beneficiary may deem proper and, whether or
not Beneficiary has so entered and taken possession of the Trust Property
or any part thereof, collect and receive all the Rents and apply the same,
to the extent permitted by law, to the payment of all expenses which
Beneficiary may be authorized to make under this Deed of Trust, the
remainder to be applied to the payment of the Obligations until the same
shall have been repaid in full; and if Beneficiary demands or attempts to
take possession of the Trust Property or any portion thereof in the proper
exercise of any rights hereunder, Trustor shall promptly turn over and
deliver complete possession thereto to Beneficiary; and
(iii) personally or by agents, with or without entry, if Beneficiary
shall deem it advisable, proceed to protect and enforce its rights under
this Deed of Trust, by suit for specific performance of any covenant
contained herein or in the Guarantee, in the Indenture or in any Financing
Document or in aid of the execution of any power granted herein or in the
Guarantee, in the Indenture or in any Financing Document, or for the
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust and the sale for cash of the Trust
Property under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction,
or for the exercise of the power of sale granted under this Deed of Trust
or for the enforcement of any other right as Beneficiary shall deem most
effectual for such purpose; provided that in the event of a sale, by
--------
foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Trust Property, this Deed
of Trust shall continue as a lien on, and security interest in, the
remaining portion of the Trust Property and Beneficiary shall not be
obligated to sell upon credit unless Beneficiary shall have expressly
consented in writing to a sale upon credit.
(f) Except as otherwise required by law, apply the net proceeds of any
foreclosure, collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale
of the Trust Property in the order of priority specified in the Indenture. If
all Obligations and any other amounts due under this Deed of Trust have been
indefeasibly paid, satisfied and discharged in full, any surplus then remaining
shall be paid to Trustor if Trustor is lawfully entitled to receive the same, or
shall be paid to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
(g) Upon any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this section,
whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of
a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Beneficiary may bid for and
acquire the Trust Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash for the
Trust Property, Beneficiary may make settlement for the purchase price by
crediting against the Obligations the sales price of the Trust Property, as
adjusted for
15
the expenses of sale and the costs of the action and any other sums for which
Trustor is obligated to reimburse Trustee or Beneficiary under this Deed of
Trust.
19. Concerning the Trustee. Trustee shall be under no duty to take
----------------------
any action hereunder except as expressly required hereunder or by law, or to
perform any act which would involve Trustee in any expense or liability or to
institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, unless properly indemnified to
Trustee's reasonable satisfaction. Trustee, by acceptance of this Deed of
Trust, covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable,
however, only for willful negligence or misconduct, and hereby waives any
statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for
any services rendered by Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof. Trustee
may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days' notice to Trustor and to
Beneficiary. Beneficiary may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time
and select a successor trustee. In the event of the death, removal,
resignation, refusal to act, or inability to act of Trustee, or in its sole
discretion for any reason whatsoever, Beneficiary may, without notice and
without specifying any reason therefor and without applying to any court, select
and appoint a successor trustee, by an instrument recorded wherever this Deed of
Trust is recorded, and all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as
aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in such successor. Such substitute
trustee shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of the
duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by Beneficiary.
20. Trustee's Fees. Trustor shall pay all reasonable costs, fees and
--------------
expenses incurred by Trustee and Trustee's agents and counsel in connection with
the performance by Trustee of Trustee's duties hereunder, and all such costs,
fees and expenses shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
21. Proceeds of Sale. Subject to the provisions of Section 49 of
----------------
this Deed of Trust, no sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Trust
Property shall be deemed to relieve Trustor of its obligations under this Deed
of Trust, the Guarantee or any other Financing Document except and only to the
extent the proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations or such other
obligations. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or
upon the Trust Property are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such
realization and the payment in full of the Obligations, Trustor shall remain
liable for any deficiency.
22. Trustor as Tenant Holding Over. In the event of any such
------------------------------
foreclosure or other sale by Beneficiary, Trustor shall be deemed a tenant
holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or
purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of
law applicable to tenants holding over.
23. Leases. Beneficiary is authorized to subordinate this Deed of
------
Trust to any Leases and to foreclose this Deed of Trust subject to the rights of
any tenants of the Trust Property, if any, and the failure to so subordinate or
to make any such tenants parties to any such foreclosure or other proceedings
and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted to be by Trustor, a
defense to any proceedings instituted by Beneficiary to collect the Obligations.
16
24. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Beneficiary shall have
-----------------------------
proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Deed of Trust by
foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been
withdrawn, discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been
determined adverse to Beneficiary, then in every such case, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, (a) Trustor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their
former positions and rights, (b) all rights, powers and remedies of Beneficiary
shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken, (c) each and every Event
of Default declared or occurring prior or subsequent to such withdrawal,
discontinuance or abandonment shall be or shall be deemed to be an independent
event of default and (d) neither the Obligations, this Deed of Trust nor the
Guarantee shall be or shall be deemed to have been not reinstated or otherwise
affected by such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment; and to the fullest
extent permitted by law, Trustor hereby expressly waives the benefit of any
statute or rule of law now provided or which may hereafter conflict with the
above.
25. No Reinstatement. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
----------------
be continuing and Beneficiary shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power
or remedy permitted hereunder, then a tender of payment by Trustor or by anyone
on behalf of Trustor of any amount less than the amount necessary to satisfy the
Obligations in full, or the acceptance by Beneficiary of any such payment so
tendered, shall not constitute a reinstatement of this Deed of Trust, the
Guarantee or any other document evidencing, securing or guaranteeing the
Obligations.
26. Trustor's Waiver of Rights. Trustor hereby waives and releases,
--------------------------
to the maximum extent permitted by law, any rights, remedies or defenses which
Trustor might otherwise have (i) under California Code of Civil Procedure
Sections 726, 725a, 580a, 580b and 580d, California Civil Code Sections 2809,
2810, 2819, 2822, 2839, 2845, 2850, 2855, 2899 and 3433, under any anti-
deficiency provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, and under any future
judicial decisions or legislation, which statutes, future judicial decisions
and/or legislation might otherwise limit or condition Beneficiary's exercise of
certain of Beneficiary's rights and remedies in connection with the enforcement
of obligations secured by a lien on real property, including, without
limitation, Beneficiary's lien on the Trust Property or on any property
encumbered by other deeds of trust given to Beneficiary to secure obligations
under the Financing Documents (each, an "Additional Deed of Trust"), (ii) under
any laws now existing or hereafter enacted providing for any appraisal before
sale of a portion of the Trust Property or of the real property security of any
Additional Deed of Trust (the "Additional Deed of Trust Property"), (iii) to all
rights of redemption, valuation, appraisal, stay of execution, notice of
election to mature or any so-called "Moratorium Laws", to declare due the
Obligations, to marshalling in the event of the foreclosure of the liens created
under this Deed of Trust or under any Additional Deed of Trust, or the exercise
of the power of sale granted hereunder or thereunder, (iv) pursuant to the
defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or in any action
for the collection or performance of any Obligations secured hereby or any
obligations secured by any Additional Deed of Trust, (v) pursuant to any defense
arising because of Beneficiary's election, in any proceeding instituted under
the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the
Federal Bankruptcy Code, (vi) pursuant to any defense based upon any borrowing
or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy
Code, (vii) under any law limiting remedies, including recovery of a deficiency,
under an obligation secured by a deed of trust on real property and/or a
security agreement on personal property (including,
17
without limitation, the Trust Property and the Additional Deed of Trust
Property) if the real property and/or personal property is sold under a power of
sale contained in the deed of trust, and all defenses based on any loss whether
as a result of any such sale or otherwise, of Trustor's right to recover any
amount from the Issuer, whether by right of subrogation or otherwise, (viii)
under any law to require Beneficiary to pursue the Issuer or any other Person,
any security which Beneficiary may hold, or any other remedy before proceeding
against Trustor, (ix) to all rights of reimbursement or subrogation, all rights
to enforce any remedy that Beneficiary, the Trustee, the Holders of the Senior
Secured Notes or the Permitted Additional Senior Lenders, if any, may have
against the Issuer, or against the Guarantors as obligors under the Partnership
Notes, and all rights to participate in any security held by Beneficiary until
the Obligations have been paid and the covenants of the Indenture have been
performed in full, (x) to all rights to assert the bankruptcy or insolvency of
Issuer as a defense hereunder or as the basis for rescission hereof, (xi) to all
rights under any law purporting to reduce Trustor's Obligations hereunder if
Issuer's obligations are reduced, (xii) all defenses based on the disability or
lack of authority of Issuer or any Person, the repudiation of the Guarantees or
any related Financing Documents by Issuer or any Person, the failure by
Beneficiary, the Trustee, the Holders of the Senior Secured Notes or any
Permitted Additional Senior Lender, if any, to enforce any claim against Issuer,
or the unenforceability in whole or in part of any Financing Document, (xiii) to
all suretyship and guarantor's defenses generally, (xiv) to all rights to insist
upon, plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling of assets, redemption or
similar law, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which
may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Trustor of its
obligations under, or the enforcement by Beneficiary of, this Deed of Trust or
any Additional Deed of Trust, (xv) to any requirement on the part of
Beneficiary, Trustee, the Holders of the Senior Secured Notes or any Permitted
Additional Senior Lender, if any, to mitigate the damages resulting from any
default (whether hereunder, under any other Financing Document, under any
Additional Deed of Trust or under any other document or instrument); and (xvi)
except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, all rights of notice and
hearing of any kind prior to the exercise of rights by Beneficiary upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to repossess with
judicial process or to replevy, attach or levy upon the Trust Property or any
Additional Deed of Trust Property. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
Trustor waives the posting of any bond otherwise required of Beneficiary in
connection with any judicial process or proceeding to obtain possession of,
replevy, attach or levy upon the Trust Property or any Additional Deed of Trust
Property, to enforce any judgment or other security for the Obligations, to
enforce any judgment or other court order entered in favor of Beneficiary, or to
enforce by specific performance, temporary restraining order, preliminary or
permanent injunction, this Deed of Trust, any Additional Deed of Trust or any
other agreement or document by which Trustor or any other Person is bound and
which is in whole or in part for the benefit of Beneficiary, Trustee, the
Holders of the Senior Secured Notes or any Permitted Additional Senior Lender,
if any. Trustor further agrees that upon the occurrence and continuance of any
Event of Default, Beneficiary may elect to nonjudicially or judicially foreclose
against any real or personal property security (including, without limitation,
under the Additional Deeds of Trust) it holds for the Obligations or any part
thereof, or to exercise any other remedy against Issuer, any security or any
guarantor, even if the effect of that action is to deprive Trustor or any other
Person of the right to collect reimbursement from Issuer or any other Person for
any sums paid to Beneficiary, Trustee, any Holder of the Senior Secured Notes or
any Permitted Additional Senior Lender, if any. To the
18
extent, if any, which such laws may be applicable, Trustor waives and releases
any right or defense which Trustor might otherwise have under such provisions
and under any other law of any applicable jurisdiction which might limit or
restrict the effectiveness or scope of any of Trustor's waivers or releases
hereunder. If any law referenced in this Section and now in force, of which
Trustor, Trustor's successors or assigns or any other Person might take
advantage despite this Section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in
force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of
this Section. Trustor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents
set forth in this Deed of Trust is made voluntarily and unconditionally after
consultation with outside legal counsel and with full knowledge of its
significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to
any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect
the rights which Trustor otherwise may have against Beneficiary or any other
Person or against any collateral. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties
that the terms of this Deed of Trust shall control in any and all circumstances,
any such waivers or consents are determined to be unenforceable under applicable
law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
27. Assignment of Rents. All of the Rents, whether now due, past due
-------------------
or to become due, and including all prepaid rents and security deposits, are
hereby absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigned, transferred, conveyed
and set over to Beneficiary to be applied by Beneficiary in payment of the
Obligations. It is understood and agreed that neither the foregoing assignment
of Rents to Beneficiary nor the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights or
remedies under this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to make Beneficiary a
"mortgagee-in-possession" or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with
respect to the Trust Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment, or operation of
all or any portion thereof, unless and until Beneficiary, in person or by agent,
assumes actual possession thereof. The appointment of a receiver for the Trust
Property by any court at the request of Beneficiary or by agreement with
Trustor, or the entering into possession of the Trust Property or any part
thereof by such receiver, also shall not be deemed to make Beneficiary a
mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with
respect to the Trust Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of
all or any portion thereof.
28. Security Agreement.
------------------
(a) This Deed of Trust is intended to be a security agreement
pursuant to the California Uniform Commercial Code for (i) any and all items of
personal property specified above as part of the Trust Property that, under
applicable law, may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the California
Uniform Commercial Code and that are not effectively made part of the Site, and
(ii) any and all items of property specified above as part of the Trust Property
that, under applicable law, constitute fixtures and may be subject to a security
interest under Section 9313 of the California Uniform Commercial Code. Trustor
hereby grants Beneficiary a security interest in said property, and in all
additions thereto, substitutions therefor, and proceeds thereof, for the purpose
of securing the Obligations. For purposes of treating this Deed of Trust as a
security agreement, Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the secured party and
Trustor shall be deemed to be the debtor. In the event of a conflict between
the provisions of this Deed of Trust and that certain Security Agreement dated
of even date herewith between Trustor and Beneficiary (the "Security
Agreement"), with respect to property of the type described
19
in clause (i) above, the provisions of the Security Agreement shall control.
(b) Trustor maintains places of business in the State of California,
and Trustor will immediately notify Beneficiary in writing of any change in such
places of business.
(c) At the request of Beneficiary, Trustor shall join Beneficiary in
executing one or more financing statements and continuations and amendments
thereof pursuant to the UCC in form reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary; and
Trustor will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever
filing is deemed by Beneficiary to be necessary. In the event Trustor fails to
execute such documents within five (5) business days after request by
Beneficiary, Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file such financing
statements and irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary, or any officer
of Beneficiary, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute the same on
behalf of Trustor.
(d) This Deed of Trust constitutes a financing statement filed as a
fixture filing under UCC (S) 9402(6) in the official records of Inyo County and
Kern County with respect to any and all fixtures included within the term "Trust
Property" and with respect to any goods or other personal property that may now
be or hereafter become such a fixture. This filing shall remain in effect as a
fixture filing until this Deed of Trust is released or satisfied of record or
its effectiveness otherwise terminates as to the Trust Property.
(e) Beneficiary has no responsibility for and does not assume any of,
Trustor's obligations or duties under any agreement or obligation which is part
of the Equipment or any obligation relating to the acquisition, preparation,
custody, use, enforcement or operation of any of the Trust Property.
(f) Trustor and Beneficiary agree that the filing of a financing
statement in the records normally having to do with personal property shall
never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Deed of Trust
or the intention of the parties that everything used in connection with the
production of income from the Trust Property or adapted for use therein or which
is described or reflected in this Deed of Trust is, and at all times and for all
purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable shall be regarded as
part of the real estate subject to the lien hereof, irrespective of whether (i)
any such item is physically attached to improvements located on such real
property or (ii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any financing
statement so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing
statement of (A) the rights in or to the proceeds of any casualty insurance
policy or (B) any award in eminent domain proceedings for taking or for loss of
value or for cause of action or proceeds thereof in connection with any damage
or injury to the Trust Property or any part thereof shall never be construed as
in any way altering any of the rights of Beneficiary as determined by this
instrument or impugning the priority of Beneficiary's lien granted hereby or by
any other recorded document, but such mention in such financing statement is
declared to be for the protection of Beneficiary in the event any court shall at
any time hold with respect to matters (A) and (B) above that notice of
Beneficiary's priority of interest, to be effective against a particular class
of persons, including, without limitation, the Federal government and any
subdivision or entity of the Federal government, must be filed in the personal
property records or other commercial code records.
20
29. Further Acts, etc. Trustor shall, at the cost of Trustor, and
-----------------
without expense to Beneficiary, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every
such further acts, deeds, conveyances, financing statements, mortgages, deeds of
trust, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as
Beneficiary shall from time to time require, for the better assuring, conveying,
assigning, transferring and confirming unto Beneficiary, the property and rights
hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which
Trustor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Beneficiary,
or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms
of this Deed of Trust or for filing, registering or recording this Deed of Trust
and, on demand, will execute and deliver and hereby authorizes Beneficiary to
execute in the name of Trustor to the extent they may lawfully do so, one or
more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments,
to evidence and perfect more effectively the lien hereof upon the Trust
Property.
30. Power of Attorney.

provisions hereof.

----------------------------
execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and thereafter, from time to time,
will cause this Deed of Trust, and any security instrument creating a lien or
evidencing or perfecting the lien hereof upon the Trust Property, or in the case
of personal property or fixtures, financing statements with respect thereto, and

acknowledgment of this Deed of Trust, any deed of trust or any mortgage or deed
of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Trust
Property, any financing statement with respect to the Trust Property, and any

----------
Financing Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall
Trustor be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due
under the Financing Documents or otherwise with respect to the Obligations at a
rate which could subject the creditor of the debt evidenced by such instruments
to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the
maximum interest rate which Trustor is permitted by law to contract or agree to
pay. If by the terms of this Deed of Trust or the Financing Documents, Trustor
is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance
due under any of the Financing Documents
22
at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, then such rate of interest shall be
deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable
shall be computed at such maximum rate.
34. Recovery of Sums Required to Be Paid. Beneficiary shall have the
------------------------------------
right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Obligations as the same become due, without regard to
whether or not the balance of the Obligations shall be due, and without
prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to bring an action of
foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Trustor existing
at the time such earlier action was commenced.
35. Authority. Trustor, and each of the undersigned acting on behalf
---------
of Trustor, hereby represents, warrants and covenants that it has full power,
authority and legal right to execute this Deed of Trust and to mortgage, give,
grant, bargain, sell, release, pledge, convey, confirm and assign the Trust
Property pursuant to the terms hereof and to keep and observe all of the terms
of this Deed of Trust on Trustor's part to be performed.
36. Invalidity of Certain Provisions. Every provision of this Deed
--------------------------------
of Trust is intended to be severable. In the event any term or provision hereof
is declared to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by
a court of competent jurisdiction, (i) such term or provision shall be construed
in such a manner as will allow such term or provision to be valid, provided that
such recasting shall be in accordance with the original intention of the
parties, and (ii) such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect the balance of the terms and provisions hereof, which terms and
provisions shall remain binding and enforceable. If the lien of this Deed of
Trust in invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the debt, or if the lien is
invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Trust Property, the unsecured or
partially unsecured portion of the debt shall be completely paid prior to the
payment of the remaining and secured or partially secured portion of the debt,
and all payments made on the debt, whether voluntary or under foreclosure or
other enforcement action or procedure, shall be considered to have been first
paid on and applied to the full payment of that portion of the debt which is not
secured or fully secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust.
37. Duplicate Originals. This Deed of Trust may be executed in any
-------------------
number of duplicate originals and each such duplicate original shall be deemed
to constitute but one and the same instrument.
38. Waiver of Notice. Trustor shall not be entitled to any notices
----------------
of any nature whatsoever from Beneficiary except with respect to matters for
which this Deed of Trust, the Guarantee or applicable law specifically and
expressly provides for the giving of notice to Trustor, and to the fullest

notice from Beneficiary with respect to any matter for which this Deed of Trust,
the Guarantee or applicable law does not specifically and expressly provide for
the giving of notice to Trustor.

--------------
or changed by an agreement in writing signed by Trustor and Beneficiary, and may
only be released, discharged or satisfied of record by an instrument in writing
signed by the Trustee or
23
its successors and assigns as directed by Beneficiary. No waiver of any term,
covenant or provision of this Deed of Trust shall be effective unless given in
writing by Beneficiary, and if so given by Beneficiary shall only be effective
in the specific instance in which given. Trustor acknowledges that this Deed of
Trust and the Financing Documents set forth the entire agreement and
understanding of Trustor and Beneficiary with respect to the matters set forth
therein and that no oral or other agreements, understanding, representations or
warranties exist with respect to those matters other than those set forth in
this Deed of Trust and the Financing Documents.
40. Absolute and Unconditional Obligation. Trustor acknowledges that
-------------------------------------
Trustor's obligation to perform and pay the Obligations in accordance with the
provision of this Deed of Trust and the Guarantee is and shall at all times
continue to be absolute and unconditional in all respects, and shall at all
times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreements or
circumstances of any nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a
defense to this Deed of Trust or the Guarantee or the obligations of Trustor
thereunder to perform and pay the Obligations or the obligations of any other
Person relating to this Deed of Trust or the Guarantee or the obligations of
Trustor under this Deed of Trust or the Guarantee, and to the fullest extent
permitted by law Trustor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any
and all right to assert any defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any
nature whatsoever with respect to the obligation of Trustor to perform and pay
the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust or the
Guarantee or the obligations of any other Person relating to this Deed of Trust
or the Guarantee or the obligations of Trustor under this Deed of Trust or the
Guarantee, or in any action or proceeding brought by Beneficiary to collect the
Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce, foreclose and realize upon
the lien and security interest created by this Deed of Trust or any other
document or instrument securing performance and repayment of the Obligations, in
whole or in part.
41. No Rights; No Set Off. All sums secured by this Deed of Trust
---------------------
shall be paid in accordance with the Indenture and the Guarantee, as applicable,
without counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense and without abatement,
suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction, and the obligations and
liabilities of Trustor hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged or
otherwise affected (except as expressly provided herein) by reason of (i) any
claim which Trustor has or might have against Beneficiary, (ii) any default or
failure on the part of Beneficiary to perform or comply with any of the terms
hereof or (iii) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar
to the foregoing and whether or not Trustor shall have notice or knowledge of
any of the foregoing.
42. Action Affecting the Trust Property.
-----------------------------------
(a) Trustor agrees to appear in and contest any action or proceeding
purporting to adversely affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of
Beneficiary, and to pay all costs and expenses of Beneficiary, including costs
of evidence of title and attorneys' fees and expenses, in any such action or
proceeding in which Beneficiary may appear.
(b) Beneficiary shall have the right to appear in and defend any
action or proceeding brought with respect to the Trust Property and to bring any
action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Trustor or Beneficiary, which
Beneficiary determines to be necessary
24
or reasonably advisable to be brought to protect its interest in the Trust
Property if (i) Trustor fails to defend or bring such action or proceeding, as
appropriate, in a prompt and diligent manner, or thereafter fails to proceed
with diligence in the defense or prosecution of the same, or (ii) an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
43. Other Actions by Beneficiary. Except as hereinbefore expressly
----------------------------
provided, should Trustor fail to make any payment or do any act as and in the
manner provided in the Guarantee or any Financing Document after the expiration
of any applicable cure or grace period and as a result an Event of Default,
Beneficiary, without obligation so to do and without notice to or demand upon
Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation, may make or do the
same in such manner and to such extent as Beneficiary may deem necessary to
protect the security hereof. In connection therewith (without limiting any
general powers of Beneficiary whether conferred herein or by law), Beneficiary
shall have and is hereby given the right, but not the obligation, (i) to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to make additions, alterations, repairs and
improvements to the Trust Property which it may consider necessary to keep the
Trust Property in good condition and repair and (ii) in exercising such powers,
to pay necessary expenses, including engagement of counsel or other necessary or
desirable consultants. Trustor shall, immediately upon demand therefor by
Beneficiary, pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in
connection with the exercise by Beneficiary of the foregoing rights, including
without limitation, costs of evidence of title, court costs, appraisals, surveys
and attorneys' fees and expenses.
44. Remedies Not Exclusive. Subject to the limitations set forth in
----------------------
Section 49 of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall be entitled to enforce
payment and performance of any indebtedness or obligations secured hereby and to
exercise all rights and powers granted under this Deed of Trust or any other
agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of
the said indebtedness and obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be
otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment
or otherwise. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 49 of this Deed
of Trust, neither the acceptance of this Deed of Trust nor its enforcement,
whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein
contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Beneficiary's right to
realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary,
it being agreed that Beneficiary shall be entitled to enforce this Deed of Trust
and any other security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary in such order and
manner as it may in its absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any
other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
45. Relationship. The relationship of Beneficiary to Trustor
------------
hereunder is strictly and solely that of lender and borrower, and nothing
contained in this Deed of Trust is intended to create, or shall in any event or
under any circumstance be construed as creating, a partnership, joint venture,
tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever
between or among Beneficiary and Trustor other than as lender and borrower.

Trust.

-----------
employee or shareholder of Trustor nor any Affiliate of any such party

agrees that its rights shall be limited to proceeding against Trustor and the
security provided or intended to be provided pursuant to the Security Documents,
and that it shall have no right to proceed against the Nonrecourse Parties for

monetary claim against, Trustor, (b) the performance of any obligation, covenant
or agreement arising under this Deed of Trust, or (c) any deficiency judgment
remaining after foreclosure of any property securing the obligations hereunder;
provided, however, that: (A) the foregoing provisions of this Section 49 shall
not constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any of the indebtedness, or of
any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this agreement or any
Financing Document, and the same shall continue until fully paid, discharged,
observed or performed; (B) the foregoing provisions of this Section 49 shall not
limit or restrict the right of Beneficiary or the holders of the Senior Secured
Notes to name Trustor or any other Person as a defendant in any action or suit

respect to this Deed of Trust or any Financing Document, or for injunction or
specific performance, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency
judgment shall be enforced against any Nonrecourse Party, except as set forth in

any way limit or restrict any right or remedy of Beneficiary, the holders of the
Senior Secured Notes or the Permitted Additional Senior Lenders, if any (or any

of the Nonrecourse Parties shall remain fully liable to the extent that they
would otherwise be liable for their own actions with respect to, any fraud,
negligence or willful misrepresentation, or misappropriation of any amounts to

the Permitted Additional Senior Lenders (or any assignee or beneficiary thereof
or successor thereto) towards any payment required under this Deed of Trust or
any Financing Document; (D) the foregoing provisions of this Section 49 shall
not affect or diminish or constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any
specific written obligation, covenant or agreement in respect of the Project
made by any of the Nonrecourse Parties or any security
26
granted by the Nonrecourse Parties as security for the obligations of Trustor or
Issuer; and (E) nothing contained herein shall limit the liability of (i) any
Person who is a party to any Project Document or has issued any certificate or
statement in connection therewith with respect to such liability as may arise by
reason of the terms and conditions of such Project Document, certificate or
statement, or (ii) any Person rendering a legal opinion, in each case under this
clause (E) relating solely to such liability of such Person as may arise under
such referenced instrument, agreement or opinion.

-------------
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

---------------------
irrevocably and unconditionally consents to: (a) Beneficiary (or its assignee or

cure) and (b) assignment to Beneficiary of all of its right, title and interest
in and under the BLM North Leases and the BLM Rights-of-Way in the event of a
default under this Deed of Trust, the Guarantee or any of the other Financing

the transfer to Beneficiary of Trustor's right, title and interest in the BLM
North Leases and/or the BLM Rights-of-Way or any thereof and (ii) the BLM may

60. Regarding Beneficiary.
---------------------
(a) Beneficiary shall be afforded all of the rights, powers,
protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in that certain Security
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Trustor and Beneficiary, as if
the same were specifically set forth herein.
(b) Trustor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary
and its directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all
claims, demands, losses, penalties, liabilities, costs, damages, injuries and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, suffered or sustained by Beneficiary, either directly or indirectly,
relating to or arising out of any Environmental Law (as hereinafter defined),
including, without limitation, any judgment, award, settlement, attorneys' fees
and expenses and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense
of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim. As used herein, the
term "Environmental Law" shall mean any and all federal, state, local and
foreign statutes, laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, judgments, orders,
decrees, permits, concessions, grants, franchises, licenses, agreements or other
governmental restrictions relating to the environment or health or to emissions,
discharges, releases or threatened releases of pollutants, contaminants,
chemicals or industrial, toxic or hazardous substances or wastes into the
environment, including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, ground
water, or land, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing,
distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport, or handling of
pollutants, contaminants, chemicals, or industrial, toxic or hazardous

(c) The obligations of Trustor hereunder shall survive the termination
and release of this Deed of Trust or the earlier resignation or removal of
Beneficiary as trustee under the Indenture.
61. No Waiver. By accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after
---------
its due date or in an amount less than the sum due, Beneficiary does not waive
its rights to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured.
62. The CLC Deed of Trust. Trustor acknowledges that concurrently
---------------------
herewith Beneficiary is receiving a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Fixture
Filing and Security Agreement from Coso Land Company, a California general
partnership (the "CLC Deed of
29
Trust"), which CLC Deed of Trust affects certain of the Trust Property. Trustor
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that the lien of this Deed of Trust shall
at all times be and remain senior to the lien of the CLC Deed of Trust.
Further, Trustor agrees that any partial or full release or reconveyance of the
CLC Deed of Trust will not cause or create any loss of priority of this Deed of
Trust or any impairment of the lien of this Deed of Trust. Conversely, in the
event that the CLC Deed of Trust remains a lien against the BLM North Leases,
BLM Lease CACA-11401 and/or any other portion of the Trust Property after an
interest in said leases is assigned to Trustor, then Trustor (i) hereby assumes
and agrees to perform all of the obligations of the trustor under the CLC Deed
of Trust and (ii) reaffirms the subordination of (and hereby unconditionally,
irrevocably and at all times subordinates) the lien of the CLC Deed of Trust to
the lien of this Deed of Trust.
