DEFINITIONS Capitalized terms used in this Facility Sublease, including the recitals, and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in Appendix A hereto. The general provisions of Appendix A shall apply to terms used in this Facility Sublease and specifically defined herein. SECTION 2. LEASE OF THE UNDIVIDED INTEREST The Facility Sublessor hereby leases the Undivided Interest, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, to the Facility Sublessee for the Sublease Basic Term and Sublease Renewal Term, if any, and the Facility Sublessee hereby leases the Undivided Interest, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, from the Facility Sublessor. The Facility Sublessee and the Facility Sublessor understand and agree that (a) this lease of the Undivided Interest is subject to the interest of the Head Lessee under the Head Lease, the interest of the Facility Lessee under the Facility Lease and the interests identified in the definition of Undivided Interest, (b) legal title to the Facility remains vested in Oglethorpe and Georgia Power as tenants-in-common, (c) this lease of the Undivided Interest is subject and subordinate to the Lien of the Oglethorpe Mortgage and (d) this lease is subject to those encumbrances set forth in the Title Report.

FACILITY SUBLEASE TERM AND SUBLEASE RENT Section 3.1 Sublease Basic Term. The term of this Facility Sublease shall commence on the Closing Date and shall terminate at 11:57 p.m. (New York City time) on the Expiration Date (the "Sublease Basic Term"), subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 10, 13, 14, 17 or 18 hereof and extension for a Sublease Renewal Term pursuant to Section 15.2 hereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the Sublease Basic Term terminate so long as the Facility Sublessor's interest under this Facility Sublease shall be subject to the Lien of the Facility Sublease Assignment Agreement. 2 Section 3.2 Sublease Basic Rent. The Facility Sublessee hereby agrees to pay to the Facility Sublessor Sublease Basic Rent for the lease of the Undivided Interest for each Rent Payment Period throughout the Sublease Basic Term and the Sublease Renewal Term, if applicable, in the amounts payable in advance or in arrears or both, as the case may be, on each Rent Payment Date as indicated on Schedule 1 hereto under the caption "Advance Rent" in the case of Rent Payment Periods immediately following such Rent Payment Date and/or "Arrears Rent" in the case of Rent Payment Periods ending on such Rent Payment Date. Each such payment of Sublease Basic Rent shall be in the amount set forth opposite such Rent Payment Date on Schedule 1 hereto, in each case, subject to Section 3.4 hereof. Section 3.3 Sublease Supplemental Rent. The Facility Sublessee also agrees to pay to the Facility Sublessor, or to any other Person entitled thereto as expressly provided herein or in any other Operative Document, as appropriate, any and all Sublease Supplemental Rent, promptly as the same shall become due and owing, or where no due date is specified, promptly after demand by the Person entitled thereto, and in the event of any failure on the part of the Facility Sublessee to pay any Sublease Supplemental Rent, the Facility Sublessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or equity or otherwise for the failure to pay Sublease Basic Rent. The Facility Sublessee will also pay as Sublease Supplemental Rent to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, an amount equal to interest at the applicable Overdue Rate on any part of any payment of Sublease Basic Rent not paid when due for any period for which the same shall be overdue and on any Sublease Supplemental Rent not paid when due (whether on demand or otherwise) for the period from such due date until the same shall be paid.

All adjustments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be equal to adjustments made for any Rent Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Facility Lease. Section 3.5 Manner of Payments. (a) All Sublease Rent (whether Sublease Basic Rent or Sublease Supplemental Rent) shall be paid by the Facility Sublessee in lawful currency of the United States of America in immediately available funds to the recipient not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date due.

Amounts paid to the Owner Participant from the Qualifying Head Lease Surety Bond in satisfaction of the Special Equity Head Lease Remedy shall not satisfy or be treated as performance of any of the Facility Sublessee's obligations under this Facility Sublease or any other Operative Document (other than its obligations under Section 16.2 of the Participation Agreement) or in any way limit or offset any amounts payable by the Facility Sublessee. Section 3.6 Business Day. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Operative Document to the contrary, if the date on which any payment is to be made pursuant to this Facility Sublease or any other Operative Document is not a Business Day, the payment otherwise payable on such date shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such scheduled date and, provided such payment is made on such succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment from and after such scheduled date to the time of such payment on such next succeeding Business Day.

It is agreed that all such risks, as between the Facility Sublessor on the one hand and the Facility Sublessee on the other hand are to be borne by the Facility Sublessee. The Facility Sublessor, shall not have any responsibility or liability to the Facility Sublessee or any other Person with respect to any of the following: (w) any liability, loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused directly or indirectly by the Facility or any Component or by any inadequacy thereof or deficiency or defect therein or by any other circumstances in connection therewith; (x) the use, operation or performance of the Facility or any Component or any risks relating thereto; (y) any interruption of service, loss of business or anticipated profits or consequential damages; or (z) the delivery, operation, servicing, maintenance, repair, improvement, replacement or decommissioning of the Facility or any Component.

(b) During the Facility Sublease Term, so long as no Sublease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Facility Sublessor hereby appoints irrevocably and constitutes the Facility Sublessee its agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to assert and enforce, from time to time, in the name and for the account of the Facility Sublessor and the Facility Sublessee, as their interests may appear, but in all cases at the sole cost and expense of the Facility Sublessee, whatever claims and rights the Facility Sublessor may have in respect of the Undivided Interest against the manufacturers of the Facility, or vendors or contractors under the Rocky Mountain Agreements or under any express or implied warranties relating to the Facility or the Undivided Interest. Section 4.2 Quiet Enjoyment.

SECTION 5. RETURN OF UNDIVIDED INTEREST Section 5.1 Return. Upon the expiration of the Facility Sublease Term unless the Facility Sublessee shall have purchased the Facility Sublessor's interest in the Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 15.1, or upon any early termination of this Facility Sublease other than a termination in accordance with Section 10, 13 or 18, the Facility Sublessee, at its own expense, shall return the Undivided Interest by delivering possession of the same to the Facility Sublessor at the location of the Facility on the Rocky Mountain Site near Rome, Georgia. Section 5.2 Condition Upon Return. At the time of any return of the Undivided Interest by the Facility Sublessee in accordance with Section 5.1, the following conditions shall be complied with, all at the Facility Sublessee's sole cost and expense: (a) the right to use the Undivided Interest granted hereunder for the benefit of the Facility Sublessee shall cease and terminate; (b) the Facility will be in at least as good condition as if it had been maintained, rebuilt and operated during the Facility Sublease Term in compliance with the provisions of this Facility Sublease, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and there shall be no deferred maintenance in respect of the Facility; (c) the Facility Sublessee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Facility Sublessor, at the expense of the Facility Sublessee, for purposes of obtaining, or enabling the Facility Sublessor or its designee to obtain, any and all licenses, permits, approvals and consents of any Governmental Entities or other Persons that are or will be required to be obtained by the Facility Sublessor or its designee in connection with its use, operation or maintenance of the Undivided Interest on or after such return in compliance with Applicable Law and in the manner contemplated by the Rocky Mountain Agreements; (d) the Facility Sublessee shall return and surrender possession of the Undivided Interest to the Facility Sublessor (or its designee) free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens described in clauses (iv), (v), (vi), (viii), (x) and (xi) of the definition of "Permitted Liens" and Permitted Post-Term Encumbrances); 6 (e) the Facility shall have (ordinary wear and tear excepted) at least the capability and functional ability, including the existence of sufficient water flows in contributing streams, to perform substantially at the ratings for which it was designed, on a continuing basis in normal commercial operation, all functions for which it was designed; (f) the Facility shall be in compliance with all requirements of manufacturers required for the maintenance in full force and effect of any material warranty then in effect with respect to the Facility; and (g) no Component shall be a temporary Component and any replacement Component shall satisfy the standards of Section 7.2. Prior to redelivery of the Undivided Interest under this Section 5.2, upon not less than 40 days' prior request of the Facility Sublessor, the Facility Sublessee shall perform such maintenance on the Facility which is in addition to that otherwise required to be performed by the Facility Sublessee hereunder as the Facility Sublessor may reasonably specify (using its best efforts on a time-available basis for such work). If the Facility Sublessee is unable to perform such requested maintenance, it will use its best efforts to arrange to have such maintenance performed by another Person acceptable to the Facility Sublessor at rates comparable to those the Facility Sublessee obtains for maintenance performed on its own facilities. The Facility Sublessor shall either promptly reimburse the Facility Sublessee for the Facility Sublessee's cost or pay such rates charged by any such Person acceptable to the Facility Sublessor in connection with such requested maintenance. The Facility Sublessee shall also surrender to the Facility Sublessor originals or copies of all documents, instruments, plans, maps, specifications, manuals, drawings and other documentary materials relating to the installation, operation, maintenance, construction, design, modification and repair of the Facility, as shall be in the Facility Sublessee's or any Affiliate of the Facility Sublessee's possession and shall be reasonably appropriate or necessary for the continued operation of the Facility. The Facility Sublessee shall effect delivery of the Undivided Interest at its own cost and expense by executing and delivering to the Facility Sublessor an instrument or instruments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Sublessor evidencing surrender by the Facility Sublessee of the Facility Sublessee's rights to the Undivided Interest under this Facility Sublease and to the possession thereof. At least 60 but not more than 120 days prior to redelivery of the Undivided Interest pursuant to this Section 5.2, the Facility Sublessee shall perform the Return Acceptance Tests and shall promptly provide the results to the Facility Sublessor. If the Facility shall not pass such tests, the Facility Sublessee shall, at its own expense, take such actions as may be necessary to enable the Facility to pass such tests and certify to the Owner Participant such passage of such tests prior to such delivery date. At the Facility Sublessor's request, if possible and commercially reasonable, the Facility Sublessee shall provide insurance in accordance with Section 11 hereof for three months following the date of return of the Undivided Interest at the Facility Sublessor's sole 7 cost and expense which costs and expense shall equal Facility Sublessee's actual cost and expense for such insurance; (h) the FERC License shall have been renewed for a term of not less than 17 years from the Expiration Date on terms not materially more burdensome than those under the existing FERC License and shall be in full force and effect. At the time of any return of the Undivided Interest by the Facility Sublessee in circumstances where the Facility Lessor has elected its option pursuant to Section 14.3 of the Facility Lease, the condition set forth in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (g) of this Section 5.2 shall be complied with at the Facility Sublessee's sole cost and expense. Section 5.3 Environmental Reports. In connection with a return pursuant to Section 5.2, the Facility Sublessee shall provide the Facility Sublessor, no later than 270 days prior to the Expiration Date, or in connection with a return other than on the Expiration Date, no later than the date of return, an inspection report prepared by a reputable environmental consulting firm (selected by the Facility Sublessor and reasonably acceptable to the Facility Sublessee) as to the environmental condition of the Facility and the Rocky Mountain Site and the compliance or non-compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Sublessor. The cost and expense of preparing and providing such report shall all be for the account of the Facility Sublessee. The provisions of such report shall not relieve the Facility Sublessee of liability with respect to environmental conditions, known or unknown, in respect of the Facility and the Rocky Mountain Site and the Facility Sublessee will take any and all actions necessary to ensure that the Facility and the Rocky Mountain Site comply with all such Environmental Laws. If such report shall indicate that either the Facility or the Rocky Mountain Site is not in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, the Facility Sublessee shall, within 90 days of the Facility Sublessor having received such inspection report, (a) provide the Facility Sublessor with a remediation plan approved by the applicable Governmental Entity designed to ensure that the Facility and the Rocky Mountain Site will be brought into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws as promptly as is reasonably practical and without materially adversely affecting the continued operation of the Facility or the Rocky Mountain Site and (b) (i) place in escrow funds in an amount corresponding to the Facility Sublessor's Percentage of the cost estimate of such remediation plan (as certified by the environmental consulting firm that prepared such report or another expert reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Sublessor), which escrow shall provide for the payment of the costs of such plan as the same become due and payable or (ii) make other arrangements that are satisfactory to the Facility Sublessor, as determined in its sole discretion acting in good faith, for such purposes. The obligations of the Facility Sublessee set forth in this Section 5.3 shall survive the termination of this Facility Sublease and the expiration of the Facility Sublease Term. Section 5.4 Expenses. The Facility Sublessee agrees to pay or reimburse, on an After-Tax Basis, on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by the Facility Sublessor 8 (including costs and expenses of the Trustees, the Owner Participant and the Lender incurred by the Facility Sublessor pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Facility Lease) in connection with any return contemplated by this Section 5. SECTION 6. LIENS The Facility Sublessee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Undivided Interest or the Facility Sublessor's Rocky Mountain Interest or any interest therein or in, to or on its interest in this Facility Sublease, except Permitted Liens, and the Facility Sublessee shall promptly notify the Facility Sublessor of the imposition of any such Lien of which the Facility Sublessee is aware and shall promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge such Lien. SECTION 7. MAINTENANCE; REPLACEMENTS OF COMPONENTS Section 7.1 Maintenance; Compliance with Rocky Mountain Agreements. The Facility Sublessee, at its own cost and expense, will cause the Facility to be maintained in good condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), repair and working order in accordance with Prudent Utility Practice and in compliance with all Applicable Laws of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction, and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, (a) all as in the reasonable judgment of the Facility Sublessee may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection with the Undivided Interest may be properly and advantageously conducted by the Facility Sublessee at all times and (b) in accordance with the Rocky Mountain Agreements and the Oglethorpe Mortgage. The Facility Sublessee will perform all of its obligations under the Rocky Mountain Agreements the failure to perform which would have a material adverse effect on the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest or the Facility Sublessor's Rocky Mountain Interest or the current or residual value, utility or remaining useful life of the Facility. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Facility Sublease or in any of the Operative Documents, the Facility Sublessee has the right to perform any and all acts required by an order of the FERC or its successor affecting the Facility or the Rocky Mountain Site without the prior approval of the Facility Sublessor. Section 7.2 Replacement of Components. In the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair or testing, the Facility Sublessee, at its own cost and expense, may remove or cause to be removed from the Facility any Component; provided, however, that the Facility Sublessee shall cause such Component to be replaced by a replacement Component which shall be free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens) and shall be in as good operating condition as, and shall have a current and residual value, remaining useful life and utility at least equal to, that of the Component replaced, assuming such replaced Component was in at 9 least the condition and repair required to be maintained in accordance with the terms of this Facility Sublease (each such replacement Component being herein referred to as a "Replacement Component") as promptly as practicable. An undivided interest equal to the Facility Sublessor's Percentage in each Component at any time removed from the Facility shall remain subject to the Head Lease, the Facility Lease and this Facility Sublease, wherever located, until such time as such Component shall be replaced by a Replacement Component which has been incorporated in the Facility and which meets the requirements for Replacement Components specified above. Immediately upon any Replacement Component becoming incorporated in the Facility, without further act (and at no cost to the Facility Sublessor and with no adjustment to Sublease Basic Rent) (i) the replaced Component shall no longer be subject to the Head Lease, the Facility Lease or this Facility Sublease, (ii) title to such Replacement Component shall vest in the Co-Owners and Oglethorpe's undivided interest therein shall become subject to the Oglethorpe Mortgage, (iii) an undivided interest equal to the Facility Lessor's Percentage in the Replacement Component shall thereupon become subject to the Head Lease and the Facility Lease, and (iv) an undivided interest equal to the Facility Sublessor's Percentage in such Replacement Component shall become subject to this Facility Sublease and be deemed a part of the Facility for all purposes hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.2 or elsewhere in this Facility Sublease to the contrary, if the Facility Sublessee or the Facility Operator has determined that a Component is surplus or obsolete, it shall have the right to remove such Component without replacing it; provided that no such Component may be so removed without being replaced if such removal would diminish the current or residual value by more than a de minimis amount, or diminish the remaining useful life or utility of the Facility or cause the Facility to become "limited use" property within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 76-30, 1976-1, 647. Section 7.3 Records. The Facility Sublessee shall maintain logs of the Facility's operation and keep maintenance and repair reports in sufficient detail to indicate the nature and date of major work completed on the Facility, including, without limitation, the cost of maintenance and repair to the extent that such records are kept as a normal part of the Facility Sublessee's operations. Such records shall be made available upon the Facility Sublessor's request during any inspection of the Facility by the Facility Sublessor and shall be deemed the property of the Facility Sublessor upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Facility Sublease; provided, however, that the Facility Sublessee shall be entitled to keep copies of such records. SECTION 8. MODIFICATIONS Section 8.1 Required Modifications. Subject to the Rocky Mountain Agreements, the Facility Sublessee, at its own cost and expense, shall make or cause to be made all Modifications to the Facility as it relates to the Undivided Interest as are required by the Rocky Mountain Agreements and by Applicable Law (each, a "Required Modification"). 10 Section 8.2 Optional Modifications. So long as no Sublease Bankruptcy Default, Sublease Payment Default or Sublease Event of Default exists, the Facility Sublessee at any time may, at its own cost and expense, make or cause to be made any Modification to the Facility as the Facility Sublessee considers desirable in the proper conduct of its business (an "Optional Modification"); provided that, no Optional Modification to the Facility shall impair the operation of the Facility or diminish the current or residual value, remaining useful life or utility of the Facility below the current or residual value, remaining useful life or utility thereof immediately prior to such Optional Modification, assuming the Facility was then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Facility Sublease or cause the Undivided Interest to become "limited use" property within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 76-30, 1976-1, 647. Section 8.3 Title to Modifications; Subjection to Head Lease. Title to all Modifications to the Facility shall immediately vest in the Co-Owners, and Oglethorpe's undivided interest therein shall become subject to the Lien of the Oglethorpe Mortgage and be deemed part of the Facility for all purposes of this Facility Sublease.

SECTION 9. NET LEASE This Facility Sublease is a "net lease" and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Facility Sublessee's obligation to pay all Sublease Rent payable hereunder (and all amounts, including without limitation, Sublease Termination Value, payable in lieu of Sublease Rent following termination of this Facility Sublease) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be terminated, extinguished, diminished, lost or otherwise impaired nor shall the Facility Sublessee's other obligations hereunder or the Facility Sublessor's rights hereunder be terminated, extinguished, diminished, lost or otherwise impaired, by any circumstance of any character, or for any 11 reason whatsoever, whether or not the same involves the loss of all or any part of the leasehold estate granted by this Facility Sublease including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Facility Sublessee may have against the Facility Sublessor or any other Person, including, without limitation, any breach by any of said parties of any covenant or provision under this Facility Sublease or under any other Operation Document, (ii) any lack or invalidity of title or any defect in the title, condition, design, operation, merchantability or fitness for use of the Facility or any Component, or any termination of this Facility Sublease as a result thereof by operation of law or contract, or any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Oglethorpe Mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure or any eviction by paramount title or otherwise or any unavailability of the Facility, the Rocky Mountain Site, any Component, any other portion of the Facility Sublessee's Rocky Mountain Interest or the interest of any other Person or any part of the foregoing after its delivery and acceptance by the Facility Sublessee hereunder, for any reason, (iii) any loss or destruction of, or damage to, the Facility or any Component or interruption or cessation in the use or possession thereof or any part of the foregoing by the Facility Sublessee for any reason whatsoever and of whatever duration, (iv) the condemnation, requisitioning, expropriation, seizure or other taking of title to or use of the Facility, the Rocky Mountain Site, any Component, any other portion of the Facility Sublessee's Rocky Mountain Interest or any part of the foregoing by any Governmental Entity or otherwise, (v) the invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization or other infirmity of this Facility Sublease or any other Operative Document, (vi) the lack of right, power or authority of the Facility Sublessor to enter into this Facility Sublease or any other Operative Document, (vii) any ineligibility of the Facility or any Component for any particular use, whether or not due to any failure of the Facility Sublessee or the Facility Operator to comply with any Applicable Law, (viii) any event of "force majeure" or any frustration, (ix) any legal requirement similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding by or against the Facility Sublessee or any other Person, (xi) any Lien of any Person with respect to the Facility, the Rocky Mountain Site, any Component, any other portion of the Facility Sublessee's Rocky Mountain Interest or any part of the foregoing, (xii) the existence of the Qualifying Sublease Surety Bond (other than to the extent of the Sublease Rent discharged from any remittance from the Qualifying Sublease Surety Bond) or (xiii) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future law notwithstanding, except as expressly set forth herein or in any other Operative Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all Rent payable by the Facility Sublessee hereunder (and all amounts, including without limitation, Sublease Termination Value, payable in lieu of Sublease Rent following Termination of the Facility Sublease) shall continue to be payable in all events in the manner and at times provided for herein. Such Sublease Rent shall not be subject to any abatement and the payments thereof shall not be subject to any setoff or reduction for any reason whatsoever, including any present or future claims of the Facility Sublessee against the Facility Sublessor or any other Person under this Facility Sublease or otherwise. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Facility Sublessee hereby waives any and all rights which it may now have or which at any time hereafter may be conferred upon it, by statute or 12 otherwise, to terminate, cancel, quit or surrender this Facility Sublease with respect to the Undivided Interest, except in accordance with Section 10, 13, 14, 15 or 18. If for any reason whatsoever this Facility Sublease shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise, except as specifically provided herein, the Facility Sublessee nonetheless agrees to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to pay to the Facility Sublessor an amount equal to each installment of Sublease Basic Rent and all Sublease Supplemental Rent due and owing, at the time such payment would have become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof had this Facility Sublease not been so terminated. The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the termination of the leasehold interest created by this Facility Sublease for any reason whatsoever upon and after the termination of the leasehold hereby granted for any reason whatsoever, the Facility Sublessee shall pay to the Facility Sublessor, in lieu of the Sublease Rent payable hereunder, an amount equal to such Sublease Rent, and this obligation is expressly agreed to be a covenant of the Facility Sublessee that is independent of this existence of such leasehold. The obligations of the Facility Sublessee to pay all amounts hereunder other than Sublease Rent are also covenants that are independent of the existence of such leasehold and shall survive the termination thereof for any reason whatsoever.

(b) Concurrently with the payment of all sums required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.2, (1) Sublease Basic Rent for the Undivided Interest shall cease to accrue, (2) the Facility Sublessee shall cease to have any liability to the Facility Sublessor with respect to the Undivided Interest except for Sublease Supplemental Rent or other obligations (including, without limitation, those under Sections 11.1 and 11.2 of the Participation Agreement and the Tax Indemnity Agreement) surviving pursuant to the express provisions of any Operative Document, (3) the Facility Sublessor will at the Facility Sublessee's cost and expense execute and deliver to the Facility Sublessee a release or termination of this Facility Sublease, (4) the Facility Sublessor shall transfer the Facility Sublessor's Rocky Mountain Interest to the Facility Sublessee pursuant to this Section 10.2 and Section 6 of the Ground Sub-sublease on an "as is", "where is" and "with all faults" basis, without representations or warranties other than a warranty as to the absence of Facility Sublessor's Liens and (5) this Facility Sublease shall terminate and the Facility Sublessor shall execute and deliver appropriate releases and other documents or instruments necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing, all to be prepared, filed and recorded (as appropriate) at the cost and expense of the Facility Sublessee.

Section 10.3 Rebuild. The Facility Sublessee's right to rebuild the Facility pursuant to clause (a) of Section 10.1 hereof shall be subject to the fulfillment, at the Facility Sublessee's sole cost and expense, in addition to the conditions contained in said clause (a), of the following conditions: (a) on the date the Facility Sublessee shall notify the Facility Sublessor pursuant to Section 10.1 of its election to rebuild the Facility, in accordance with this Section 10.3, the Facility Sublessee shall deliver to the Facility Sublessor a tax opinion of counsel (such counsel to be selected by the Facility Sublessor and reasonably acceptable to the Facility Sublessee) to the same effect as the opinion required by paragraph (a) of Section 10.3 of the Facility Lease; (b) on the date the Facility Sublessee shall notify the Facility Sublessor pursuant to Section 10.1 of its election to rebuild the Facility, in accordance with this Section 10.3, the Facility Sublessee shall deliver to the Facility Sublessor the report of an independent engineer (such independent engineer to be reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Sublessor) to the same effect as the report required by paragraph (b) of Section 10.3 of the Facility Lease; (c) on the date the Facility Sublessee shall notify the Facility Sublessor pursuant to Section 10.1 of its election to rebuild the Facility, in accordance with this Section 10.3, the Facility Sublessee shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Facility Sublessor adequate financial resources, from insurance proceeds or otherwise, to complete such rebuilding, and that the provisions of the Rocky Mountain Agreements will not impede such rebuilding of the Facility or adversely affect the Facility Sublessor's interest therein; (d) the Facility Sublessee shall cause the rebuilding of the Facility to commence as soon as practicable after the occurrence of such Event of Loss and in all events within 18 months of the occurrence of the event that caused such Event of Loss and will cause work on such rebuilding to proceed diligently thereafter. As the rebuilding of the Facility progresses, 15 title to an undivided interest in such rebuilt facilities shall immediately vest in Oglethorpe as a tenant in common with Georgia Power, subject to the Lien of the Oglethorpe Mortgage, and an undivided interest equal to the Facility Sublessor's Percentage in such rebuilt facilities shall become subject to the Head Lease, the Facility Lease and this Facility Sublease, automatically, for all purposes hereof, without any further act by any Person; and (e) on the date of the completion of such rebuilding of the Facility (the "Rebuilding Closing Date") the following documents shall be duly authorized, executed and delivered and, if appropriate, filed for recordation by the respective party or parties thereto and shall be in full force and effect, and an executed counterpart of each thereto shall be delivered to the Facility Sublessor, the Facility Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Lender: (1) supplements to the Head Lease, the Facility Lease and this Facility Sublease subjecting an undivided interest equal to the Facility Sublessor's Percentage in the rebuilt facilities to the Head Lease, the Facility Lease and this Facility Sublease (with no change in Sublease Basic Rent as a result of such replacement), (2) supplements to the Loan Agreement, the Deed to Secure Debt and the Facility Sublease Assignment Agreement subjecting the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest in such rebuilt facilities to the Lien of the Loan Agreement, the security title of the Deed to Secure Debt and the Lien of the Assignment of Facility Sublease Agreement, (3) a supplement to the Subordinated Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement, subjecting the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest in such rebuilt facilities to the Lien of the Subordinated Deed to Secure the Debt and Security Agreement, (4) such recordings and filings as may be reasonably requested by the Owner Participant or the Lender to be made or filed, (5) an opinion of counsel of the Facility Sublessee, such counsel and such opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Sublessor, to the effect that (w) the supplements to the Head Lease, the Facility Lease and this Facility Sublease referred to in clause (1) above constitute effective instruments for subjecting such rebuilt facilities to the Head Lease, the Facility Sublease and this Facility Sublease, (x) the supplements to the Loan Agreement, the Deed to Secure Debt and the Facility Sublease Assignment Agreement referred to in clause (2) above constitute an effective instrument, for subjecting the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest in such rebuilt facilities to the Lien of the Loan Agreement, the security title of the Deed to Secure Debt, and the Lien of the Assignment of Facility Sublease, (y) the supplement to the Subordinated Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement referred to in clause (3) above constitutes an effective instrument for subjecting the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest in such rebuilt facilities to the Lien of the Subordinated Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement, and (z) all filings and other actions necessary to perfect and protect the Facility Sublessor's interest in an undivided interest equal to the Facility Sublessor's Percentage in the rebuilt facilities and to subject the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest in such rebuilt facilities to the Lien of the Loan Agreement and Facility Sublease Assignment Agreement, security title of the Deed to Secure Debt and the Lien of the Subordinated Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement have been accomplished and (5) satisfactory evidence as to the compliance with Section 11 of this Facility Sublease with respect to the Facility, as so rebuilt. 16 Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Section 10.3 are consummated, the Facility Sublessee agrees to pay or reimburse, on an After-Tax Basis, any costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses and all costs and expenses incurred by the Facility Sublessor pursuant to the last sentence of paragraph (a) of Section 10.3 of the Facility Lease) incurred by the Facility Sublessor, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 10.3. Section 10.4 Eminent Domain. In the event that during the Facility Sublease Term the use of all or any portion of the Undivided Interest is requisitioned or taken by or pursuant to a request of any Governmental Entity under the power of eminent domain or otherwise for a period which does not constitute an Event of Loss, the Facility Sublessee's obligation to pay all installments of Sublease Basic Rent shall continue for the duration of such requisitioning or taking. The Facility Sublessee shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account all sums payable for any such period by such Governmental Entity as compensation for such requisition or taking of possession. Any amount referred to in this Section 10.4 which is payable to the Facility Sublessee shall not be paid to the Facility Sublessee, or if it has been previously paid directly to the Facility Sublessee, shall not be retained by the Facility Sublessee, if at the time of such payment a Sublease Payment Default, Sublease Bankruptcy Default or Sublease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Facility Sublessor as security for the obligations of the Facility Sublessee under this Facility Sublease, and upon the earlier of (a) 180 days after the Facility Sublessor shall have received such amount; provided the Facility Sublessor has not proceeded to exercise any remedy under Section 17 and it is not stayed or prevented by law or otherwise from exercising such remedy and (b) such time as there shall not be continuing any such Sublease Payment Default, Sublease Bankruptcy Default or Sublease Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to the Facility Sublessee. SECTION 11. INSURANCE Section 11.1 Property Insurance. Subject to availability on commercially reasonable terms, the Facility Sublessee will maintain (or cause to be maintained) all risk property insurance in amounts and with deductibles not to exceed $25,000,000 per occurrence as is customarily carried by prudent operators of hydroelectric facilities of comparable size and risk, and against loss or damage from such causes as are customarily insured against, which includes coverage for flood and earthquake and includes (subject to sublimits of $50,000,000 and $100,000,000, respectively) boiler and machinery (subject to a sublimit of $100,000,000) coverage to cover mechanical breakdown, and as required under, and to the extent required by, the Oglethorpe Mortgage and the Rocky Mountain Agreements in an amount not less than $302,000,000. 17 Section 11.2 Liability Insurance. Subject to availability on commercially reasonable terms, the Facility Sublessee will maintain liability insurance, including contractual liability insurance, insuring against claims for bodily injury (including death) and property damage to third parties arising out of the ownership, operation, maintenance, condition and use of the Facility and the Rocky Mountain Site, in an amount and with deductibles customarily carried by prudent operators of hydroelectric facilities of comparable size and risk, but not less than $35 million per occurrence. Such liability insurance may be purchased either in a single limit or in combination with a general and an excess policy. In the event of a material increase in the development of the property adjacent to the Rocky Mountain Site or changes in product liability exposure or laws during the Facility Sublease Term, the Facility Sublessee will periodically review the liability insurance maintained by it or on its behalf. In connection with any such review, the Facility Sublessee will consult with the Facility Sublessor, the Owner Participant and the Lender. Following such review and consultation, if appropriate, the Facility Sublessee will increase such coverage and limits in order that the liability insurance maintained by it or on its behalf is consistent with that maintained by prudent operators of hydroelectric facilities of comparable size and risk taking into account such increased development, subject to the availability of such insurance in such amounts on commercially reasonable terms. Section 11.3 Provisions With Respect to Insurance. Subject to availability on commercially reasonable terms, the Facility Sublessee will place the insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 11 with companies having an A.M. Best rating of at least "A-" or, if not so rated, of comparable financial strength. All insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall name the Trustees (both in their individual capacities and as trustees), the Owner Participant and the Lender as additional insureds, as their interest may appear. All insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 11 shall also provide for at least 30 days' prior written notice (10 days for non-payment) by the insurance carrier to the Facility Sublessor, the Trustees, the Owner Participant and the Lender in the event of cancellation, non-renewal, termination, expiration or amendment. The Facility Sublessee will place the insurance required by this Section 11 with insurance companies which agree to waive all claims for premiums from, and all subrogation rights against, the Facility Sublessor, the Trustees, the Owner Participant and the Lender. All the insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 11 shall be primary without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of the Facility Sublessor, the Trustees, the Owner Participant or the Lender with respect to their respective interests in the Facility and the Rocky Mountain Site. To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Facility Sublessee will use its best efforts to provide that the respective interests of the Facility Sublessor, the Trustees, the Owner Participant and the Lender shall not be invalidated by any act or neglect of the Facility Sublessee, or any breach or violation by the Facility Sublessee of any 18 warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policies, or by the use of the Facility and the Rocky Mountain Site for purposes more hazardous than permitted by such policies. To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Facility Sublessee will use its best efforts to provide that such policies shall also be endorsed to: (i) provide that coverage will not be invalidated by any foreclosure or other proceeding or notice of sale relating to the Facility or the Rocky Mountain Site or any change in title or ownership of the Facility or the Rocky Mountain Site, (ii) provide that, inasmuch as the policies are written to cover more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements, with the exception of limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured and (iii) provide that the coverage afforded by such policies shall not be affected by the performance of any work in or about any Modification. The Facility Sublessee shall, at its own expense, make all proofs of loss and take all other steps necessary to collect the proceeds of such insurance. Section 11.4 Reports. On or prior to December 1 of each year commencing on December 1, 1997, the Facility Sublessee shall furnish the Facility Sublessor, the Owner Participant and the Lender with a report signed by a Responsible Officer of the Facility Sublessee identifying all insurance coverages in place and certifying that all premiums in respect of such policies are paid in full. Such report shall also identify any significant change in coverage, limits or change in carriers and will include a review of any significant changes in the development of the property adjacent to the Rocky Mountain Site, product liability exposure and laws. The Facility Sublessee shall use its best efforts prior to expiration and renewal, but in no event more than 5 Business Days after expiration and renewal of any policy required by this Section 11, to provide the Facility Sublessor, the Owner Participant and the Lender certificates from insurance brokers or carriers to the effect that such policy is in effect and indicating their status as additional insureds. Section 11.5 Additional Insurance by Facility Sublessor. At any time the Facility Sublessor (either directly or in the name of the Owner Participant) may at its own expense and for its own account carry insurance with respect to its interest in the Undivided Interest; provided, that such insurance does not in any way interfere with the Facility Sublessee's ability to obtain insurance with respect to the Undivided Interest described in Section 11.1. Any insurance payments received from policies maintained by the Facility Sublessor pursuant to the previous sentence shall be retained by the Facility Sublessor without reducing or otherwise affecting the Facility Sublessee's obligations hereunder. SECTION 12. INSPECTION During the Facility Sublease Term, the Facility Sublessor, and its representatives (along with the Facility Sublessor, the Trustees, the Owner Participant or the Lender) may, at reasonable times, on reasonable notice to the Facility Sublessee and the Facility Operator and at their own risk and expense (except, at the expense, but not risk, of the Facility Sublessee 19 when a Sublease Event of Default, Sublease Bankruptcy Default or Sublease Payment Default has occurred and is continuing), inspect the Facility (together with the records of the Facility Operator with respect to the operations and maintenance thereof) and the Rocky Mountain Site; provided, however, that any such inspection will not interfere with the Facility Operator's normal commercial operation of the Facility and will be in accordance with the Facility Operator's or the Facility Sublessee's safety and insurance programs. Upon request of the Facility Sublessor (but no more often than annually, provided no Sublease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the Facility Sublessee shall make available a Responsible Officer to discuss the business, financial condition or accounts of the Facility Sublessee. In no event shall the Facility Sublessor, the Trustees, the Owner Participant or the Lender have any duty or obligation to make any such inspection and such Persons shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such inspection. SECTION 13. TERMINATION OPTION FOR BURDENSOME EVENTS Section 13.1 Election to Terminate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the events specified below, the Facility Sublessee shall have the right, at its option, so long as (a) no Sublease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (b) the Facility Sublessee shall simultaneously exercise its election to terminate each Other Facility Sublease pursuant to Section 13.1 thereof to the extent such event constitutes a burdensome event under Section 13.1 of such Other Facility Subleases, upon at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Facility Sublessor, (a) cause the Facility Sublessor to purchase the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest pursuant to Section 13 of the Facility Lease, (b) purchase the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest purchased by the Facility Sublessor pursuant to Section 13 of the Facility Lease from the Facility Sublessor and (c) terminate this Facility Sublease on the Termination Date specified in such notice (which shall be a date occurring not more than 90 days after such notice) if: (i) it shall have become illegal for the Facility Sublessee to continue this Facility Sublease or for the Facility Sublessee to make payments under this Facility Sublease and the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents cannot be restructured in a manner acceptable to the Transaction Parties; (ii) one or more events outside the control of the Facility Sublessee shall have occurred which will give rise to an obligation by the Facility Sublessee to pay or indemnify under Section 11.1 or 11.2 of the Participation Agreement or the Tax Indemnity Agreement (other than costs and expenses resulting from a replacement of the Payment Undertaking Agreement pursuant to Section 17.4 of the Participation Agreement or a refinancing of the Loan Certificate pursuant to Section 15 of the Participation Agreement); provided, however, that (a) the indemnity obligation (and the underlying cost or Tax) can be avoided in whole or in part by such termination and (b) the amount of such avoided payments would exceed (on a present value basis, 20 discounted annually at the Loan Rate, to the date of the termination) three percent of the Undivided Interest Cost. If the Owner Participant shall waive its right to, or arrange for payment of (without reimbursement by the Facility Sublessee), amounts of indemnification payments under Section 11.1 or 11.2 of the Participation Agreement or the Tax Indemnity Agreement in excess of such amount as to cause such avoided payments, computed in accordance with the preceding sentence, not to exceed three percent of the Undivided Interest Cost, no such termination option in favor of the Facility Sublessee shall exist; or (iii) on or after the eleventh anniversary of the Closing Date, (a) the Facility Sublessee shall be advised by independent tax counsel selected by the Facility Sublessee and reasonably acceptable to the Facility Sublessor, which advice shall be in the form of an opinion and shall be based on facts, circumstances, events, or conditions occurring after the Closing Date, that deductions will not be available to it to reduce income realized by the Facility Sublessee in connection with the Overall Transaction discounted to such Termination Date and (b) the income tax which will be payable by the Facility Sublessee in consequence of the loss of such deductions from such Termination Date to the Expiration Date, at the Loan Rate, will exceed the greater of (x) the Equity Exposure Amount for such Termination Date and (y) three percent of the Undivided Interest Cost. If the Facility Sublessee does not give notice of its exercise of the termination option under this Section 13.1 within six months of the date the Facility Sublessee receives notice or Actual Knowledge of the events or conditions described above (or in the case of the event or condition described in clause (iii) of this Section 13.1, in circumstances where the Facility Sublessee shall have Actual Knowledge on or prior to such eleventh anniversary, within six months of such eleventh anniversary), the Facility Sublessee will lose its rights to terminate this Facility Sublease pursuant to this Section 13.1 as a result of such event or condition.

On the Obsolescence Termination Date, the Facility Sublessee shall pay to the Facility Sublessor (a) the amount which the Facility Sublessor is obligated to pay the Facility Lessor pursuant to clause (a) of the second sentence of Section 14.4 of the Facility Lease in connection with such sale, plus (b) any unpaid Sublease Basic Rent due before such Obsolescence Termination Date and, if such Obsolescence Termination Date shall be a Rent Payment Date, any Sublease Basic Rent (to the extent payable in arrears) due and payable on such Rent Payment Date, and (c) all amounts of Sublease Supplemental Rent (including all costs and expenses of the Facility Lessor, the Trustees or the Lender incurred by the Facility Sublessor pursuant to Section 14.4 of the Facility Lease), and all sales, use, value added and other Taxes covered by Section 11.2 of the Participation Agreement associated with the exercise of the termination option pursuant to this Section 14 due and payable on such Obsolescence Termination Date.

The Facility Sublessor shall be under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of the Facility Sublessee to obtain bids or otherwise take any action in arranging any such sale of the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest. It shall be a condition of the Facility Sublessor's obligation to consummate a sale of the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest in accordance this Section 14.3 that the Facility Sublessee shall pay all amounts it is obligated to pay under this Section 14.3. If no sale shall occur on the Obsolescence Termination Date, the notice of termination shall be deemed revoked and 23 this Facility Sublease shall continue as to the Undivided Interest in full force and effect in accordance with its terms (without prejudice to the Facility Sublessee's right to exercise its rights under this Section 14). The Facility Sublessee will be obligated to pay any expenses or damages of the Facility Sublessor (including expenses or damages of the Facility Lessor incurred by the Facility Sublessor pursuant to the last sentence of Section 14.4 of the Facility Lease) resulting from the failure to consummate a sale of the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest for any reason not other than an act of bad faith or gross negligence by the Facility Sublessor.

If the Facility Sublessee shall elect the Sublease Purchase Option, the Facility Sublessor shall forthwith exercise the Purchase Option in accordance with Section 15.1 of the Facility Lease. If the Facility Sublessee shall elect or is deemed to have elected the Sublease Return Option, the Facility Sublessor shall elect the Return Option pursuant to Section 15.1 of the Facility Lease. If the Facility Sublessee shall have elected or is deemed to have elected the Return Option, on the Expiration Date it shall return the Undivided Interest to the Facility Sublessor in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of this Facility Sublease. If the Facility Sublessee shall have exercised the Purchase Option, the Facility Sublessee shall become unconditionally obligated to pay to the Facility Sublessor (a) on the Expiration Date (i) the initial installment of the Purchase Option Price in the amount of $302,435,484.77, (ii) all amounts of Sublease Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of the Facility Sublessor including all amounts payable by the Facility Sublessor to the Trustees, the Owner Participant and the Lender pursuant to Section 15.1 of the Facility Lease and all sales, use, value added and other Taxes covered by Section 11.2 of the Participation Agreement associated with the Purchase Option) due and payable on the Expiration Date, and (iii) any unpaid Sublease Basic Rent due before the Expiration Date and the Sublease Basic Rent due and payable on the Expiration Date and (b) subsequent installments of the Purchase Option Price in the amounts and on the dates set forth in clause (b) of the third sentence of Section 15.1 of the Facility Lease.

Section 17.2 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies in this Facility Sublease provided in favor of the Facility Sublessor shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other remedies in its favor existing at law or in equity, and the 32 exercise or beginning of exercise by the Facility Sublessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Facility Sublessor of any or all of such other remedies; provided, however, that the liquidated damages amount set forth in paragraphs (e) and (f) above shall be the sole and exclusive money damages remedy available to the Facility Sublessor for a Sublease Event of Default. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Facility Sublessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which may require the Facility Sublessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Undivided Interest or any Component thereof in mitigation of Facility Sublessor's damages as set forth in this Section 17 or which may otherwise limit or modify any of Facility Sublessor's rights and remedies in this Section 17. Section 17.3 No Delay or Omission to be Construed as Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the Facility Sublessor upon any breach or default by the Facility Sublessee under this Facility Sublease shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Facility Sublessor, nor shall any such delay or omission be construed as a waiver of any breach or default, or of any similar breach or default hereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of a single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. SECTION 18. TERMINATION OPTIONS FOR APPEAL OF FERC ORDERS. Section 18.1 Options to Terminate. If an appeal or request for a rehearing shall be filed (including by post-order intervention) of the FERC Order, the Facility Sublessee shall forthwith give notice of such appeal or request for rehearing to the Facility Sublessor. If such an appeal or request for rehearing shall be filed, the Facility Sublessor and the Facility Sublessee shall each have the option, upon not less than four Business Days' prior written notice to the other, given not later than March 1, 1997, to terminate this Facility Sublease on the next succeeding Termination Date occurring at least ten days following such notice on the terms set forth in this Section 18.1. If the Facility Sublessee shall exercise its option provided by this Section 18.1 by giving the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence, the Facility Sublessee shall have the right to cause the Facility Sublessor to (i) exercise the option provided in Section 18.1 of the Facility Lease and (ii) purchase the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest pursuant to Section 18 of the Facility Lease, (b) purchase the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest purchased by the Facility Sublessor pursuant to Section 18 of the Facility Lease from the Facility Sublessor and (c) terminate this Facility Sublease on the Termination Date specified in such notice, upon payment to the Facility Lessor of the Sublease Termination Value, determined as of such Termination Date. The Facility Sublessee shall be permitted to exercise its option provided by this Section 18 only if the Facility Sublessee shall simultaneously exercise the termination option provided by Section 18.1 of each Other Facility Lease. If the Facility Sublessor shall exercise its option provided by this Section 18.1 giving the notice contemplated by the second preceding sentence, the Facility Sublessor shall have the right to cause the Facility Sublessee to (a) purchase from the Facility Sublessor the Facility 33 Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest purchased by the Facility Sublessor pursuant to Section 18 of the Facility Lease for the Sublease Termination Value on the Termination Date specified in such notice and (b) terminate this Facility Sublease on such Termination Date. Section 18.2 Procedure for Exercise of Termination Options. If the Facility Sublessor or the Facility Sublessee shall have exercised its option under Section 18.1, on the Termination Date specified in the Facility Sublessor's or the Facility Sublessee's notice of such exercise, the Facility Sublessee shall pay to the Facility Sublessor (a) the Sublease Termination Value determined as of such Termination Date, plus (b) all amounts of Sublease Supplemental Rent (including all costs and expenses of the Facility Sublessor, the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Lender incurred by the Facility Sublessor pursuant to Section 18.2 of the Facility Lease and all sales, use, value added and other Taxes covered by Section 12.2 of the Participation Agreement associated with the exercise of the termination option pursuant to this Section 18) due and payable on or prior to the Termination Date, and (c) any unpaid Sublease Basic Rent due before such Termination Date and, if such Termination Date shall be a Rent Payment Date, the Sublease Basic Rent (to the extent payable in arrears) due and payable on such Rent Payment Date. Concurrently with the payment of all sums specified in this Section 18.2 (1) Sublease Basic Rent for the Undivided Interest shall cease to accrue, (2) the Facility Sublessee shall cease to have any liability to the Facility Sublessor with respect to the Undivided Interest, except for Sublease Supplemental Rent and other obligations (including those under Sections 11.1 and 11.2 of the Participation Agreement and the Tax Indemnity Agreement) surviving pursuant to the express terms of any Operative Document, (3) the Facility Sublessor will execute and deliver to the Facility Sublessee to be prepared (and where appropriate recorded and filed), at the Facility Sublessee's cost and expense, a release and termination of this Facility Sublease, (4) the Facility Sublessor will transfer, pursuant to this Section 18.2 and Section 6 of the Ground Sub-sublease, the Facility Lessor's Rocky Mountain Interest acquired by the Facility Sublessor pursuant to Section 18 of the Facility Lease to the Facility Sublessee on an "as is," "where is," "with all faults" basis, without representations or warranties other than a warranty as to the absence of Facility Sublessor's Liens and (5) this Facility Sublease shall terminate and the Facility Sublessor shall execute and deliver appropriate releases and other documents or instruments necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing, all to be prepaid, filed and recorded (if appropriate) at the cost and expense of the Facility Sublessee.

Any gain (including interest received) realized as the result of any such Permitted Investment (net of any fees, commissions, taxes and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such Permitted Investment) shall be, applied or remitted to the Facility Sublessee in the same manner as the principal invested. SECTION 24. SECURITY FOR FACILITY SUBLESSOR'S OBLIGATION TO THE FACILITY LESSOR In order to secure all amounts payable by and all obligations to be performed by the Facility Sublessor under the Facility Lease, the Facility Sublessor will assign for security purposes its rights under this Facility Sublease, including all Sublease Rent payable hereunder, to the Facility Lessor pursuant to the Facility Sublease Assignment Agreement.

The Facility Sublessee hereby consents to such assignments and the creation of such Liens and acknowledges receipt of copies of the Facility Sublease Assignment Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the Deed to Secure Debt, it being understood that such consent shall not affect any requirement or the absence of any requirement for any consent under any other circumstances.
