continuing security interest in all of the Collateral.

3. Perfection of Commission’s Security Interest; Duty of Care.

3.1. Required Project Sponsor. Until the termination of this Agreement, Project
Sponsor shall perform any and all steps and take all actions requested by the Commission from
time to time to perfect, maintain, protect and enforce the Commission’s security interest in its
Collateral, including (i) executing and delivering all appropriate documents and instruments as

respect to the Collateral hereunder except that the Commission shall exercise reasonable care
with respect to the Collateral in the Commission’s custody. The Commission shall be deemed
to have exercised reasonable care if (i) such property is accorded treatment substantially equal to
that which the Commission accords its own property or (ii) the Commission takes such action
with respect to the Collateral as the Project Sponsor shall request in writing; however, neither (a)
the Commission’s failure to comply with any such request or to do any such act requested by
Project Sponsor nor (b) the Commission’s failure to take steps to preserve rights against any
Persons in such property shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. Project Sponsor
agrees that the Commission has no obligation to take steps to preserve rights against any prior
parties.

4. Power of Attorney.

4.1. Grant of Power. Project Sponsor does hereby make, constitute and appoint the
Commission (or any officer or agent of the Commission) its true and lawful attorney-in-fact,
with full power of substitution in the name of Project Sponsor, for the use and benefit of the
Commission, but at the cost and expense of Project Sponsor, (i) to indorse the name of such
party on any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including
payments payable under any policy of insurance on the Collateral) or Collateral that may come
into the possession of the Commission in full or part payment of any of the obligations secured
hereunder; (ii) to obtain the insurance referred to in Section 6.5 and endorse any drafts and
cancel any insurance so obtained by the Commission; (iii) to adjust and settle the insurance
referred to in Section 6.5 and endorse any drafts; and (iv) to do any and all things necessary to
perfect the Commission’s security interest in the Collateral hereunder, to preserve and protect
such Collateral and to otherwise carry out this Agreement.

4.2. Duration; Ratification of Acts. This power of attorney, being coupled with an
interest, will be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and all transactions under this

4
Agreement and thereafter so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain in existence.
Provided the Commission acts in a reasonable manner, Project Sponsor ratifies and approves all
acts of such attorney, and neither the Commission nor its attorney will be liable for any acts or
omissions for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law. Project Sponsor will execute and
deliver promptly to the Commission all instruments necessary or appropriate, as determined in
the Commission’s discretion, to further the Commission’s exercise of the rights and powers
granted in this Section 4.

5. Warranties and Representations. To induce the Commission to make the expenditures

to Project Sponsor evidenced by the CU Agreement, Project Sponsor represents to the
Commission that it has and it will continue to have throughout the term of this Agreement good
and indefeasible title to, and ownership, of its Collateral, free and clear of all liens except to the
extent if any, of the Permitted Liens.

this Agreement is terminated, Project Sponsor will:

6.1. Notice of Change in Place of Business. Give the Commission at least 30 days
advance notice in writing of any change in its principal place of business, or other places of

repair, make all necessary replacements thereof so that the value and operating efficiency thereof
shall at all times be maintained and preserved, and promptly inform the Commission of any
material additions to or deletions from its Collateral.

6.4. Sale of Collateral. Not, without the prior written consent of the Commission, sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of or transfer, whether by sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation,
dissolution, or otherwise, any of the Collateral hereunder, except in the normal course of
business.

6.5. Insurance. Project Sponsor shall insure all of the Collateral with the amounts and
types of insurance required by the CU Agreement. If Project Sponsor fails to so insure the

the cost to Project Sponsor payable on demand and secured by the Collateral.

5
 6.6. Removal of Collateral. Not remove its books and records concerning its Collateral

8.1. Remedies.

(i) Immediately on the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Commission

or legal process of any kind (except as may be required by law), all of which Project
Sponsor waives to the fullest extent permitted by law;

(a) proceed to enforce payment of the Obligations and to exercise all of the
rights and remedies afforded to the Commission by the UCC, under the terms of
the Project Documents and by law and in equity;

(b) take possession of the Collateral and maintain such possession on Project
Sponsor’s premises at no cost to the Commission, or remove the Collateral, or any
part thereof, to such other place(s) as the Commission may desire;

(c) enter on any premises on which any Collateral hereunder, or any part or
records thereof, may be situated and remove the same therefrom, for which action
Project Sponsor will not assert against the Commission any claim for trespass,
breach of the peace or similar claim and Project Sponsor will not hinder the
Commission’s efforts to effect such removal;

d) require the Project Sponsor, at its sole cost, to assemble its Collateral and
make it available at a place designated by the Commission;

e) sell part or all of the Collateral hereunder at public or private sale(s), for
cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the

6
 Commission deems advisable, at the Commission’s discretion, and the
Commission may, if the Commission deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn
any sale of such Collateral from time to time by an announcement at the time and
place of sale or by announcement at the time and place of such postponed or
adjourned sale, without being required to give a new notice of sale;

(f) sign any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or

transfer in connection with any disposition of the Collateral hereunder;

Collateral hereunder in any manner permitted by law and do any other things and
exercise any other right or remedy which the Commission may, with or without
judicial process, do or exercise under applicable law; and

(ii) Project Sponsor acknowledges that portions of its Collateral could be

difficult to preserve and dispose of and be further subject to complex maintenance
and management. Accordingly, the Commission, in exercising its rights under
Section 8.1, shall have the widest possible latitude to preserve and protect the
Collateral and the Commission’s security interest therein.

8.2. Notice of Disposition; Allocations. If any notice is required by law to

effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder, (i) the Commission
will give the Project Sponsor written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of
the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will be made,
and at any such public or private sale, the Commission may purchase all or any of such
Collateral; and (ii) the Project Sponsor agrees that such notice will not be unreasonable as
to time if given in compliance with this Agreement and five days prior to any sale or
other disposition. The proceeds of the sale will be applied first to all costs and expenses
of such sale including attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses, and second to the
payment of all Obligations hereunder in the manner and order determined by the
Commission in its discretion. Project Sponsor shall remain liable to the Commission for
any deficiency. Unless otherwise directed by law, the Commission will return any excess
to the Project Sponsor.

8.3. Payment of Expenses. Project Sponsor shall pay to the Commission, on its
demand, all reasonable costs and expenses, including court costs, attorneys’ fees and
costs of sale, incurred by the Commission in exercising any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, all of which constitute part of the obligations and are secured by the Collateral
hereunder.

10.1. Severability. If any term of this Agreement is found invalid under Ohio law or
laws of mandatory application by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalid term will be

ACCEPTED AT AND SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE AT COLUMBUS,
OHIO. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER

8
 10.3. Application of Payments; Revival of Obligations. To the extent Project Sponsor
makes a payment or payments to the Commission or the Commission receives any payment or
proceeds of Collateral hereunder or any other security, which payment(s) or proceeds or any part
thereof are subsequently voided, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds
received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
shall continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by
the Commission.

10.4. Equitable Relief. Project Sponsor recognizes that, in the event it fails to perform,
observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law

10.6. Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other

equity. Exercise of one or more remedy(ies) by the Commission does not require that all or any
other remedy(ies) be exercised and does not preclude later exercise of the same remedy.

10.7. Waivers and Amendments in Writing. Failure by the Commission to exercise

any right, remedy or option under this Agreement or in any other Project Document or delay by
the Commission in exercising the same shall not operate as a waiver by Commission of its right
to exercise any such right, remedy or option. No waiver by Commission shall be effective unless
it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. This Agreement cannot be changed
or terminated orally.

10.8. Assignment. The Commission shall have the right to assign this Agreement and
the other Project Documents. Project Sponsor may not assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any of its rights or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, and any such
assignment, transfer or other disposition without the Commission’s express written consent shall
be void. All of the rights, privileges, remedies and options given to the Commission under the
Project Documents shall inure to the benefit of the Commission’s successors and assigns, and all
the terms, conditions, covenants, provisions and warranties herein shall inure to the benefit of

9
and bind the permitted successors and assigns of Project Sponsor and the Commission,
respectively.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed by the parties as of
