REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Public Service Company of New Mexico:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Public Service Company of New Mexico (a New Mexico corporation) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1996, and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Public Service Company of New Mexico and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 (not presented herein), and, in our report dated February 13, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NEW MEXICO AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) General Accounting Policy

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies followed by Public Service Company of New Mexico (the "Company") are set forth in note
(1) of notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 (the "1995 Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2) Accounts Receivable Facility

The Company has a $40 million credit facility collateralized by the Company's electric customer accounts receivable. In March 1996, the New Mexico Public Utility Commission ("NMPUC") approved the Company's request to increase the capacity of the accounts receivable facility up to $100 million by including in the collateral pool the Company's gas accounts receivable and certain amounts being recovered from gas customers relating to certain gas contract settlements. The amended accounts receivable facility will have a five year term.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's 1995 Form 10-K PART II, ITEM 7.--"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS" discussed management's assessment of the Company's financial condition, results of operations and other issues facing the Company. The following discussion and analysis by management focuses on those factors that had a material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations during the first quarter of 1996 and 1995. It should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements. Trends and contingencies of a material nature are discussed to the extent known and considered relevant.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The original capital requirements for 1996 included a discretionary cash outlay for debt retirement of $90 million. Due to the Company's proposed plan for the purchases of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generation Station ("PVNGS") lease obligation bonds and Eastern Interconnect Project ("EIP") secured facility bonds over the next three years (discussed below), total capital requirements for 1996 have been reduced to $117 million. The Company spent approximately $22 million for its utility construction expenditures during the first quarter of 1996. For the remainder of 1996, the Company anticipates that it will spend approximately $93 million for additional construction expenditures.

The Company expects that such cash requirements are to be met primarily through internally-generated cash. However, to cover differences in the amounts and timing of cash generation and cash requirements, the Company intends to utilize short-term borrowings under its liquidity arrangements. At March 31, 1996, the Company had available liquidity arrangements of $151 million, consisting of a $100 million secured revolving credit facility ("Facility"), $40 million credit facility collateralized by the Company's electric customer accounts receivable ("Accounts Receivable Facility") and $11 million in local lines of credit. The Facility will expire in June 1998 and includes a maximum allowed debt to capitalization ratio of 70%. As of March 31, 1996, such ratio was 64.6%. In addition, in March 1996, the NMPUC approved the Company's request to increase the capacity of the Accounts Receivable Facility up to $100 million by including in the collateral pool the Company's gas accounts receivable and certain amounts being recovered from gas customers relating to certain gas contract settlements. The amended Accounts Receivable Facility will have a five year term.

On March 21, 1996, the Company filed for NMPUC approval to buy up to $300 million of PVNGS lease obligation bonds and/or EIP secured facility bonds over the next three years. Hearings on the Company's application are scheduled to begin in May 1996 and may be continued until June 1996 if the intervenors in the NMPUC case raise significant contested issues. Although these purchases will be accounted for as investments in securities, the rating agencies should view the Company's debt leverage as having been reduced. The Company currently intends to use cash from temporary investments and future internal cash generation in excess of capital requirements to fund these purchases. As of March 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $114 million in temporary investments. The Company continues to evaluate its investment and debt retirement options to optimize its financing strategy and earnings potential.

8

On March 12, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors ("Board"), at its regular meeting, declared a cash dividend of 12 cents per common share payable on May 24, 1996, to stockholders of record as of May 1, 1996. The Company has not declared dividends on its common stock since January 1989. The Company's Board reviews the Company's dividend policy on a continuing basis. The declaration of common dividends is dependent upon a number of factors including earnings and financial condition of the Company and market conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net earnings available for common stockholders for the first quarter of 1996 were $26.3 million, an increase of $9.7 million from a year ago. The increase in earnings was attributable to increased wholesale energy sales, decreased non-fuel operation and maintenance ("O&M") expenses and decreased interest charges.

Operating margin for the current quarter increased $.9 million from a year ago due to (i) an increase in gas off-system sales margin, (ii) an 8.5% increase in retail Kwh sales and (iii) a 40.9% increase in Kwh sales to electric wholesale customers. Offsetting such increases was the loss of water revenues of $2.4 million due to the sale of the water division in July 1995.

Non-fuel O&M expenses decreased $8.3 million from a year ago due to (i) an adjustment of $3.4 million for retirees' health care costs, (ii) a reduction in O&M expenses of $4.0 million from the 1995 sales of the water division and gas processing and gathering assets and (iii) decreased PVNGS O&M expense of $2.2 million resulting from the 1995 Unit 2 refueling outage. Offsetting such decrease was increased maintenance expenses of $2.0 million at the San Juan Generating Station ("SJGS") Unit 3 and Four Corners Power Plant Unit 5.

Interest charges and preferred stock dividend requirements for the current quarter decreased $4.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, from a year ago due to the retirement of the PVNGS lease obligation bonds of $132.7 million in March 1995, repayment of other long-term debt of $57.8 million in 1995 and the redemption of $64.2 million of preferred stock in 1995.

OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY

Gas Rate Case

As previously reported, in August 1995, the Company filed a request for a $13.3 million increase for its retail natural gas sales and transportation rates. NMPUC Staff and intervenors in the case filed their testimony in January 1996. The NMPUC Staff recommended a $2.5 million rate decrease and the New Mexico Attorney General ("AG") recommended a $14.7 million (subsequently revised to $13.2 million) rate decrease. (See PART II, ITEM 7.--"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--OTHER ISSUES
FACING THE COMPANY--GAS RATE CASE" in the Company's 1995 Form 10-K.)

9

In March 1996, a stipulated agreement was entered into by the Company, NMPUC Staff, the AG and the Regents of the University of New Mexico. In the stipulation, the Company agreed not to seek a rate increase in this case but would be allowed to recover certain deferred costs incurred through July 1, 1996. It also imposed certain conditions on the Company's transportation customers. Many of the transportation customers opposed the stipulation.

On April 9, 1996, the NMPUC issued an order, declining to set the proposed settlement of the Company's pending rate case for hearing. In its order, the NMPUC ruled that "the nature and extent of the opposition to the stipulation is such that hearing the stipulation will not materially conserve the NMPUC, NMPUC Staff and party resources". The Company filed a request for NMPUC to reconsider its denial of a hearing on the settlement. The Company anticipates that the request for reconsideration will be disposed of by May 13, 1996. Hearings on the Company's originally proposed $13.3 million rate increase began on May 6, 1996.

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") Litigation, formerly Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") Litigation("MDL-995")

As previously reported, in April 1993, the Company and certain current and former employees of the Company or Meadows Resources, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Meadows"), were named as defendants in an action filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona by the RTC. Three of the individuals sued by the RTC have indemnity agreements with the Company. The claims related to alleged actions of the Company's or Meadows' employees in 1987 in connection with a loan procured by Bellamah Community Development ("BCD") (BCD's general partners include Meadows) from Western Savings and Loan Association ("Western") and the purchase by that partnership of property owned by Western. The FDIC (the FDIC was substituted for the RTC as plaintiff in MDL-995 in early 1996) apparently claims that the Company's liability stems from the actions of a former employee who allegedly acted on behalf of the Company for the Company's benefit. The FDIC is claiming in excess of $40 million in actual damages from the BCD/Western transactions and is also claiming damages substantially exceeding that amount on Arizona racketeering, civil conspiracy and aiding and abetting theories. (See PART I, ITEM 3.--"LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--OTHER PROCEEDINGS" in the Company's 1995 Form 10-K.)

On April 11, 1996, representatives of the Company, certain current and former employees of the Company or Meadows ("BCD parties") and the FDIC met with a mediator to continue settlement discussions. The mediation session resulted in an agreement to settle the case for $5.75 million, $3.125 million of which would be paid by the Company and the remainder to be paid by insurance covering the BCD parties. Settlement documents are being drafted for submission to the Court for approval. After consideration of established reserves, the Company believes that there will be no material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

10

The Company continues to believe that all of the claims made by the FDIC in this case are without merit but, for business reasons, believes that the settlement is in the best interest of the Company.

PVNGS PROPERTY TAXES

As previously reported, in November 1995, the Arizona Court of Appeals held that an Arizona state property tax law, effective December 31, 1989, is unconstitutional and a lawsuit filed by the PVNGS participants, including the Company, was returned to the Arizona Tax Court for determination of the appropriate remedy consistent with that decision. (See PART 1, ITEM 3.--"LEGAL PROCEEDINGS--PVNGS PROPERTY TAXES" in the Company's 1995 Form 10- K.) On April 23, 1996, the Arizona Department of Revenue and the PVNGS participants reached an agreement to settle the pending litigation. Pursuant to the tentative settlement, the Company will relinquish its claims for relief with respect to prior years and the defendants will not challenge the Court of Appeals' decision concerning prospective relief (for tax years 1996 and thereafter). Negotiations of the final settlement are continuing.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Rulings from Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC")

On April 24, 1996, the FERC issued several orders and a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NOPR"), related to the provision of transmission service by public utilities.

FERC Order 888 addresses both open transmission access and stranded costs. Order 888 requires all public utilities that own, operate or control interstate transmission facilities to file open access transmission tariffs, offering other users the same services the public utility provides to itself, under comparable terms and conditions. In addition, such transmission owning public utilities will be required to "purchase" transmission services from themselves in order to engage in wholesale generation transactions. On April 10, 1996, the Company filed an open access transmission tariff. As a result of Order 888, the Company will be required to make a compliance filing, making the appropriate changes to the filed open access tariff to bring its terms and conditions into compliance with Order 888. The Company's April 10 filing was generally in compliance with the terms and conditions of Order 888. As a result, the Company does not anticipate any material changes being required to comply with Order 888.

Order 888 also addresses conditions required for public utilities to be granted the right to market-based rates for wholesale power sales. On April 10, the Company also filed a market-based rate tariff that would enable the Company to sell in the wholesale power market at market-based rates rather than rates limited by cost of service. The Company believes that it meets the criteria established in Order 888 for such a tariff.

Both the open access tariff filing and the market-based tariff filing by the Company await FERC action. The Company has requested June 1, 1996 as an effective date for both tariffs, but will require a short extension of time to bring the open access tariff into compliance. The FERC has also required power pools to file open access tariffs. The Company is a member of the Inland Power Pool and the Western Systems Power Pool. The membership of both pools is evaluating Order 888 and will take the appropriate steps to address compliance with the order.

Order 888 also establishes federal rules for the recovery of stranded costs by public utilities. The FERC will allow recovery of stranded costs under certain circumstances. Wholesale stranded cost recovery will be determined based on expected revenues loss from a departing wholesale requirements customer, net of transmission revenues that would be received by the public utility (if such service is provided) and net of mitigation efforts by the public utility. Mitigation efforts include the public utility marketing the stranded assets it holds that had previously been used to serve the departing customer.

The open access and stranded asset rules will be effective on July 1, 1996.

On April 24, FERC also issued Order 889, requiring public utilities to install and operate an Open Access Same-time Information System ("OASIS") and comply with certain standards of conduct among its employees in transmission operations and wholesale power marketing. The standards of conduct are designed to prevent employees of a public utility or its affiliates engaged in marketing functions from obtaining preferential access to OASIS-related information or from engaging in unduly discriminatory business practices.

13

Public utilities will be required to separate transmission operations and reliability functions from the marketing and merchant functions and prevent system operation personnel from providing information to marketing personnel that is not available to all customers at the same time through public posting on the OASIS. Order 889 requires implementation of the standards of conduct on July 1, 1996, and implementation of an OASIS no later than November 1, 1996. The FERC anticipates that the OASIS will be made available to the public via the Internet.

The NOPR seeks further comments and input from the industry regarding further changes to the method by which customers access and use the transmission systems of public utilities. The FERC proposes replacement of the network and point-to-point transmission service concepts embodied in Order 888 with a single capacity reservation system that would further enhance the provision of "comparable" transmission service among all transmission users. Comments are due to the FERC no later than August 1, 1996.

The Company continues to assess these rules and the NOPR and the effects thereof.

FERC Rate Filings

On April 1, 1996, the Company filed a notice of change in rates for its firm transmission service for all point-to-point and network customers on the Company's transmission system. The Company also requested changes for services provided to two customers who receive integration and transmission service for power purchased from a third party. The rates proposed under the request would increase projected 1996 transmission revenues by approximately $10.5 million. The request would also bring certain pricing and service terms into compliance with FERC Order 888 and current FERC policy. In particular, the Company seeks to have transmission service provided to Plains Electric Generation and Transmission Cooperative, Inc., ("Plains") designated by the FERC as network transmission service.

The Company has also requested that this filing be consolidated with four
Section 206 complaint proceedings submitted by four of the affected customers filed in 1995, as well as a proceeding related to the Company's provision of firm transmission service to El Paso Electric Company. (See PART II, ITEM
7.--"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS--OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY--Transmission Disputes" in the Company's 1995 Form 10-K.)

The Company has requested an effective date of June 1, 1996, for the rates requested in this filing, with the exception of one service agreement with Plains, which would have an effective date of July 1, 1996. The Company has filed the same cost support in the open access tariff filing and anticipates that the FERC will determine rates for the open access tariff based on the results of the rate change proceeding.

Energy and Utility Related Subsidiaries

As previously reported, in June 1995, the Company filed an application for authorization for the creation of three wholly-owned subsidiaries and sought approval to invest a maximum of $50 million in the three subsidiaries over time and to enter into reciprocal loan agreements for up to $30 million with these subsidiaries. In January 1996, the hearing examiner assigned to the case recommended that the NMPUC deny the NMPUC Staff's motion to have the case

14

dismissed. In February 1996, the NMPUC Staff filed a motion seeking to have the Company report on its non-regulated activities, explain why NMPUC approval is not required and why sanctions should not be considered if approval is required. The Company filed its response describing its activities and presented legal authority demonstrating its compliance with the New Mexico Public Utility Act. (See PART 1, ITEM 1.--"BUSINESS--RATES AND REGULATION--Energy and Utility Related Subsidiaries" in the 1995 Form 10-K.)

On March 5, 1996, the NMPUC issued an order adopting the hearing examiner's recommendation and denied NMPUC Staff's motion to dismiss the case. The NMPUC has not acted on the NMPUC Staff's subsequent motion. On April 3, 1996, the hearing examiner issued a second procedural order and a hearing in the case has been scheduled for July 8, 1996. The Company is currently having discussions with the NMPUC Staff and other intervenors regarding their concerns on the Company's request. The Company currently cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding but intends to vigorously defend against any allegation that it is in violation of any legal requirements.

Gas Transmission Pipeline

As previously reported, the Company leases approximately 130 miles of transmission pipeline from the Department of Energy ("DOE") for transportation of natural gas to certain customers in northern New Mexico, including the county of Los Alamos and Los Alamos National Laboratory. (See PART I, ITEM
2.--"PROPERTIES--NATURAL GAS" in the 1995 Form 10-K.) On March 15, 1996, the DOE issued a request for proposal ("RFP") for the sale of the pipeline. The RFP provides that proposals for purchase of the line be received by May 30, 1996 and the closing be completed by September 30, 1996. The Company plans to submit a bid. If the Company is the successful bidder, transfer of the property would be completed by the end of 1996, subject to resolution of outstanding right-of-way issues.

Department of Labor Matter (PVNGS)

In 1993, a Department of Labor ("DOL") Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") issued a Recommended Decision and Order finding that Arizona Public Service Company ("APS"), as the operating agent of PVNGS, discriminated against a former contract employee who worked at PVNGS because he engaged in protected activities (as defined under Federal regulations). APS and the former contract employee who had raised the DOL claim entered into a settlement agreement which was approved by the Secretary of Labor in June 1995. By letter dated March 7, 1996, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") sent a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty notifying APS that the NRC proposes to impose a $100,000 civil penalty for a "Severity Level III" violation of NRC requirements relating to the circumstances surrounding this matter. The NRC also concluded in its March 7, 1996 letter that APS's actions taken and planned to correct the violation have already been addressed and therefore APS is not required to respond to the Notice of Violation. APS paid the associated penalty in April 1996.

04/22/96/BSD/05043/003/AGREE-11//50628.2


2.02 Additions to the Funds.

2.03 Adjustments for Excess Contributions. The Trustee and the Company understand and agree that the contributions made by the Company to any of the Qualified Funds from time to time may exceed the amount permitted to be paid into such fund(s) pursuant to Section 468A of the Code and any regulations thereunder based upon changes in estimates, subsequent developments, or any other event or occurrence which could not reasonably have been foreseen by the Company at the time such contribution was made (Excess Contribution). Upon Certification of the Company, setting forth the amount of the Excess Contribution, the amount of any Excess Contribution (together with any income accrued thereon) shall be paid to the person or persons specified by the Company in a Certification to the Trustee.

2.04 Transfers Between Funds. The Trustee shall transfer assets between Funds only upon written instructions from the Company.

15

04/22/96/BSD/05043/003/AGREE-11//50628.2

Any pooling arrangement undertaken as permitted in this Section 2.06 can be terminated at any time by any Fund. No Fund in such a pooling arrangement may substitute for itself in such arrangement any person that is not a member of the pooling arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 2.06

16

04/22/96/BSD/05043/003/AGREE-11//50628.2


shall not limit the Trustee's authority to invest in permissible common or collective trust funds.

2.07 No Transferability of Interest in Trust. The interest of the Company in the Funds is not transferable by the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, nor subject to the claims of creditors of the Company, provided, however, that any creditor of the Company as to which a Disbursement Certificate has been properly completed and submitted to the Trustee may claim directly against the appropriate Fund in an amount not to exceed the amount specified on such Disbursement Certificate. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit a transfer of the Company's interest in a Fund upon sale of all or part of the Company's ownership or leasehold interest in any plant or plants.

The Company reserves the power to revoke this Agreement, in whole or in part, by instrument or instruments in writing delivered to the Trustee ninety (90) days in advance of the proposed revocation; provided, however, that the assets of the Funds are transferred to another decommissioning trust or otherwise dedicated to payment of Decommissioning Costs and other expenses permitted hereunder; provided further, however, that absent revocation by the Company, this Agreement will terminate (in whole or in part) upon the earlier of:

Written notification of the issuance of each such authorization shall be given promptly to the Trustee by the Investment Manager(s), and the Investment Manager(s) shall cause the execution of such order to be confirmed in writing to the Trustee by the broker or dealer.

Unless the Trustee participates knowingly in, or knowingly undertakes to conceal an act or omission of an Investment Manager(s) knowing such act or omission to be a breach of the fiduciary responsibility of the Investment Manager(s), the Trustee shall be under no liability of any kind which may result by reason of any action taken by it in accordance with any direction of the Investment Manager(s). In any event, the Trustee shall be under no liability for any loss of any kind by reason of changes in value of the investments purchased, sold, or retained by the Investment Manager(s), nor for the risk or diversification of the portfolio, nor for the turnover of the investments, nor for any other aspect of a portfolio for which an Investment Manager(s) has been appointed.

Investment Manager has not invested Fund monies, the Trustee shall act in the capacity of the Investment Manager as provided in Article IV.

and/or interest (as well as any interest on overdue principal or, to the extent permitted by law, interest) then due and unpaid on all Notes shall be distributed to the Holders of the Notes ratably, without priority of one over the other, in the proportion that the aggregate amount of such payment or payments then due and unpaid on all Notes held by each such Holder on such date bears to the aggregate amount of such payment or payments then due and unpaid on all Notes Outstanding on such date, without priority of interest over the principal or principal over interest; and second, the balance, if any, of such payment remaining thereafter shall be distributed, concurrently with any distribution pursuant to clause first hereof, to the Owner Trustee or as the Owner Trustee may direct. If there shall not otherwise have been distributed on any date (or within any applicable period of grace), pursuant this Section 5.1, the full amount then distributable pursuant to clause first of this Section 5.1, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute other payments of the character referred to in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 then held by it or thereafter received by it, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3, to the Holders of all Notes to the extent necessary to enable it to make all the distributions then due pursuant to such clause first; provided that to the extent any distribution is made from amounts held pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof and the Lessee subsequently makes the payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent in respect of which such distribution was made, such payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent shall, unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied to the purpose for which such amount held pursuant to Section 5.4 had been held, subject, in all cases, to the terms of Section 5.4. The portion of each such payment made to the Indenture Trustee which is to be distributed by the Indenture Trustee in payment of Notes shall be applied in accordance with
Section 3.11. Any payment received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8 shall be distributed to the Holders of the Notes, ratably, without priority of one over the other, in the proportion that the amount of such payment or payments then due and unpaid on all Notes held by each such Holder bears to the aggregate amount of the payments then due and unpaid on all Notes Outstanding. Amounts distributed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be distributed as promptly as practicable after such amounts are actually

6091.20.2898.51:1

- 23 -

received by the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that in the event the Indenture Trustee shall be directed to make payments to the Holder of any Note by wire transfer in accordance with Section 3.8 hereof, any amounts received by the Indenture Trustee after 11:00 A.M., New York City time, may be distributed on the following Business Day.

SECTION 5.2. Amounts Received as Result of Event of Loss, Deemed Loss Event, Exercise of Option to Terminate or Exercise of Cure or Special Purchase Option.

If an Event of Loss or Deemed Loss Event shall occur or the Lessee shall exercise the Cure or Special Purchase Option, and if either the Assumption Agreement or the Undivided Interest Indenture Supplement shall have been executed and delivered, any amounts of Casualty Value, Special Casualty Value or Fair Market Sales Value received or held by the Indenture Trustee in respect of such Event of Loss or Deemed Loss Event or exercise of the Cure or the Special Purchase Option shall be distributed forthwith to the Owner Participant. If the Lessee or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall exercise its option to terminate the Facility Lease pursuant to Section 14 thereof, or the Lessee shall exercise the Special Purchase Option pursuant to Section 13(c) thereof, then there shall be prepaid, on the date payments or proceeds with respect thereto are received by the Indenture Trustee (or as soon thereafter as practicable) under Section 14 of the Facility Lease, the unpaid principal amount of all Notes, together with the premium, if any, and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment. Notice of such prepayment shall be given as provided in Section 3.9(c) and may provide that it is subject to receipt of funds for such prepayment. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3 or 5.7, any payments received and amounts realized by the Indenture Trustee upon exercise of the Lessee's or the Owner Trustee's option to terminate the Facility Lease under Section 14 thereof shall in each case be distributed on the date of prepayment as provided in clauses first, second and fifth of Section 5.3.

SECTION 5.3. Amounts Received After, or Held at Time of, Indenture Event of Default under Section 6.2.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.7, all payments received and amounts realized by the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Lease Indenture Estate (including any amounts realized by the Indenture Trustee from the exercise of any remedies pursuant to the Facility Lease or Article VI of this Indenture) after an Indenture Event of Default referred to in Section 6.2

6091.20.2898.51:1

- 24 -

shall have occurred and be continuing and the Notes have been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.1, as well as all payments thereafter received or amounts then held by the Indenture Trustee as part of the Lease Indenture Estate, shall be distributed by the Indenture Trustee in the following order of priority:

first, so much of such payments or amounts as shall be required to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for any Trustee's Expenses (to the extent not previously reimbursed) and to pay the reasonable remuneration of the Indenture Trustee, shall be applied by the Indenture Trustee to such reimbursement and payment;

second, so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to pay in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Notes, together with premium, if any, plus accrued but unpaid interest (as well as interest on overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest) thereon to the date of distribution, shall be distributed to the Holders of such Notes and in case the aggregate amount so to be distributed shall be insufficient to pay all such Notes in full as aforesaid, then ratably, without priority of one over the other, in the proportion that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all such Notes held by each such Holder, together with premium, if any, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date of distribution bears to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Notes, together with premium, if any, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date of distribution;

third, so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to pay the present or former Holders of the Notes the amounts payable to them as Indemnitees (to the extent not previously reimbursed) shall be distributed to such Holders; and in case the aggregate amount so to be paid to all such Holders in accordance with this clause third shall be insufficient to pay all such amounts as aforesaid, then ratably, without priority of one over the other, in the proportion that the amount of such indemnity or other payments to which such Person is entitled bears to the aggregate amount of such indemnity or other payments to which all such Persons are entitled;

6091.20.2898.51:1

- 25 -

fourth, the balance, if any, of such payments or amounts remaining shall be applied to the payment of any other indebtedness at the time due and owing to the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes which this Indenture by its terms secures; and

fifth, the balance, if any, of such payments or amounts remaining thereafter shall be distributed to or upon the direction of the Owner Trustee.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1, 5.3 or 5.7 hereof, any payments received by the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Lease Indenture Estate for which provision as to the application thereof is made in a Transaction Document shall be applied to the purpose for which payment was made in accordance with the terms of such Transaction Document, as determined, in the first instance from instructions or other information accompanying such payment, or, otherwise, in accordance with instructions form the payor of such payments.

SECTION 5.5. Amounts Received for Which No Provision Is Made.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1, 5.3 or 5.7, any payments received and any amounts realized by the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Lease Indenture Estate

(a) for which no provision as to the application thereof is made in a Transaction Document or elsewhere in this Article V shall be held by the Indenture Trustee as part of the Lease Indenture Estate, and

6091.20.2898.51:1

- 31 -

Indenture Trustee and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy, and
(b) no delay or omission by the Indenture Trustee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee or the Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein.

SECTION 6.6. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

In case the Indenture Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, then and in every such case the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee and the Lessee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Lease Indenture Estate, and all rights, powers and remedies of the Indenture Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.

SECTION 6.8. Right of Owner Trustee to Pay Rent; Note Purchase; Substitute Lessee.

Anything in this Article VI or Article VII to the contrary notwithstanding:

The Trustee or the Owner Participant, upon exercising cure rights under this paragraph (a), shall not obtain any Lien on any part of the Lease Indenture Estate on account of such payment for the costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith nor, except as expressly provided in the succeeding sentence, shall any claims of the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant against the Lessee or any other Person for the repayment thereof impair the prior right and security interest of the Indenture Trustee in and to the Lease Indenture Estate. Upon any payment by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant pursuant to this Section 6.8, the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, as the case may be, shall (to the extent of such payment made by it) be subrogated to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes to receive the payment of Rent with respect to which the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant made such payment and interest on account of such Rent payment being overdue in the manner set forth in the next sentence. If the Indenture Trustee shall thereafter receive such payment of Rent or such interest, the Indenture Trustee shall, notwithstanding the requirements of Section 5.1, on the date such payment is received by the Indenture Trustee, remit such payment of Rent (to the extent of the payment made by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant pursuant to this
Section 6.8) and such interest to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, as the case may be, in reimbursement for the funds so advanced by it.

(b) Each Holder of a Note agrees, by acceptance thereof, that if the Notes have been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.1, and the Owner Trustee, within 30 days after receiving notice from the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, shall give written notice to the Indenture

6091.20.2898.51:1

- 33 -

Trustee of the Owner Trustee's intention to purchase all of the Notes in accordance with this paragraph, accompanied by assurances of the Owner Trustee to purchase the Notes, then, upon receipt within 10 Business Days after such notice from the Owner Trustee of an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of and any premium with respect to any unpaid Notes then held by such Holder, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date of such receipt (as well as any interest on overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, interest), such Holder will forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Owner Trustee (without recourse or warranty of any kind other than of title to the Notes so conveyed) all of the right, title and interest of such Holder in and to the Lease Indenture Estate, this Indenture and all Notes held by such Holder; provided, that no such Holder shall be required so to convey unless (1) the Owner Trustee shall have simultaneously tendered payment for all other Notes issued by the Owner Trustee at the time Outstanding pursuant to this paragraph and (2) such conveyance is not in violation of any Applicable Law.

(c) Each Holder of a Note further agrees by its acceptance thereof that the Owner Trustee shall have the right, pursuant to Section 16 of the Facility Lease, to terminate the Facility Lease and, in connection therewith, to arrange for the substitution of another Person as lessee under a new lease substantially similar to the Facility Lease (hereinafter the Substituted Lessee) and, subject to: (i) any Indenture Event of Default under paragraphs (d) and (e) of Section 6.2 having been cured by the Owner Trustee,
(ii) the Substituted Lessee's assuming all of the obligations under the Facility Lease and (iii) the Substituted Lessee's having an assigned credit rating by Standard & Poors's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (or, if either of such organizations shall not rate securities issued by such Substituted Lessee, by any other nationally recognized rating organization in the United States of America) with respect to at least one series of its debt obligations or preferred stock of the Substituted Lessee equal to or better than the ratings assigned, immediately prior to such substitution, by such organizations to comparable securities of the Lessee immediately prior to such substitution but in no event less than "investment grade" rating assigned by such organizations, then the Facility Lease between the Owner Trustee and such Substituted Lessee shall, for all purposes of this Indenture, be deemed to be the Facility Lease subject to the lien of this Indenture.

SECTION 6.9. Further Assurances.

Subject to Section 7.6 hereof, the Owner Trustee covenants and agrees from time to time to do all such acts and execute all such instruments of further assurance as shall be reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee for the purpose of fully carrying out and effectuating this Indenture and the intent hereof.

SECTION 6.10. Right of Indenture Trustee To Perform Covenants, etc.

If the Owner Trustee shall fail to make any payment or perform any act required to be made or performed by it hereunder or under the Facility Lease or if the Owner Trustee shall fail to release any Lien affecting the Lease Indenture Estate which it is required to release by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, without notice to or demand upon the Owner Trustee and without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of the Lease Indenture Estate. All sums so paid by the Indenture Trustee and all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel and other professionals) so incurred, together with interest thereon from the date of payment or occurrence, shall constitute additional indebtedness secured by this Indenture and shall be paid from the Lease Indenture Estate to the Indenture Trustee on demand. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any damages resulting from any such payment or action unless such damages shall be a consequence of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.11. Certain Other Rights of the Owner Trustee.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall at all times retain, to the exclusion of the Indenture Trustee, all rights of the Owner Trustee to exercise any election or option to make any decision or determination or to give or receive any notice, consent, waiver or approval or to take any other action under or in respect of the Facility Lease, as well as all rights, powers and remedies on the part of the Owner Trustee, whether arising under the Facility Lease or by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, arising out of any Default or Event of Default subject, however, to Section 10.2. Without the prior written consent of the

6091.20.2898.51:1

- 35 -

Indenture Trustee, the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights so retained by the Owner Trustee shall not be exercised in such a manner as to (i) reduce the amounts payable by the Lessee under the Facility Lease below the amounts necessary to provide the Owner Trustee with sufficient monies to make timely payments in full of amounts due with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all Notes or (ii) rescind or terminate the Facility Lease pursuant to Section 16(a)(i) thereof. Nor shall the Owner Trustee exercise any other right or remedy under the Facility Lease the effect of which would be to effect such rescission or termination.

The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take or refrain from taking any action under Section 7.1 or 7.2 or Article VI hereof which shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability unless the Indenture Trustee shall have been indemnified by the Holders of the Notes against liability, cost or expense (including counsel fees) which may be incurred in connection therewith, or unless, in the reasonable judgment of the Indenture Trustee, the indemnities of the Lessee shall be adequate for such purpose; provided, however, that if the Holder of such Note is the Collateral Trust Trustee, the unsecured written undertaking of the Collateral Trust Trustee, in its individual capacity, shall be sufficient indemnity for purposes of this Section. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action under Section 7.1 or 7.2 or Article VI hereof nor shall any other provision of this Indenture be deemed to impose a duty on the Indenture Trustee to take any action, if the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably determine, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in personal liability or is contrary to the terms hereof or of the Facility Lease or is otherwise contrary to law.
