2.1  KPLC shall, within 30 days of execution of this Olkaria III Project
     Security Agreement, procure that the L/C Bank establishes and maintains in
     favour of OrPower 4 a Letter of Credit in an amount not less than four (4)
     times the Reserved Amount as anticipated by the Parties as at the Full
     Commercial Operation Date.

     On the Effective Date, KPLC and OrPower 4 shall jointly instruct the L/C
     Bank in accordance with the terms of the L/C Bank Letter of Instruction.

2.2  KPLC shall ensure that the Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date not
     less than twelve (12) months from the date of its issue and shall ensure
     that successive Letters of Credit shall thereafter be issued (subject to
     Clause 2.7 and notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 2.4) for successive
     periods of twelve (12) months each, each such Letter of Credit to be in an
     amount not less than four times the Reserved Amount from time to time
     agreed or determined under Clause 2.3. OrPower 4 and KPLC shall not
     unreasonably withhold their agreement to the form of the first or any
     successive Letter of Credit if the L/C Bank will not issue such Letter of
     Credit substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1.

2.3  Within five (5) Business Days of the Effective Date with respect to the
     first Letter of Credit, and not less than sixty-five (65) days prior to the
     expiry date of the first Letter of Credit and of each subsequent Letter of
     Credit, OrPower 4 will notify KPLC, with a copy to the L/C Bank, of the
     relevant Reserved Amount to be used to calculate the amount of the next
     succeeding Letter of Credit, such notice to be accompanied by its
     calculations showing how that amount has been calculated. KPLC will have
     five (5) Business Days to advise OrPower 4 whether or not it agrees with
     OrPower 4's figure. If KPLC does not agree with that figure, and that
     figure is not agreed between OrPower 4 and KPLC within a further period of
     ten (10) Business Days, KPLC may refer the matter to an Expert for
     determination in accordance with Clause 19.3 of the PPA. If KPLC does not
     refer the matter to an Expert in accordance with this Clause 2.3, OrPower
     4's figure shall apply.

2.4  Subject to Clause 2.7, the L/C Bank shall be irrevocably instructed by KPLC
     and by OrPower 4 that, if by the second Business Day prior to the expiry
     date of any Letter of Credit, KPLC has not caused the renewal of the Letter
     of Credit, then the L/C Bank shall automatically renew the Letter of Credit
     by drawing down the balance of the Letter of Credit immediately prior to
     its expiry. The L/C Bank shall issue such new Letter of Credit upon the
     expiration of the existing Letter of Credit.


                                       4



                                                              Security Agreement

2.5  On and after the occurrence of a Payment Default which is continuing, and
     without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which OrPower 4 may have
     against KPLC, OrPower 4 shall be entitled to make demand under the Letter
     of Credit for an amount no greater than the amount of the Secured
     Liabilities then due but unpaid. Any such demand shall be in writing and
     signed by a duly authorised representative of OrPower 4. OrPower 4 shall
     provide a copy of the demand to KPLC (by personal delivery or by facsimile
     transmission in accordance with Clause 9) contemporaneously with delivery
     of the demand to the L/C Bank.

2.6  Until such time as the Secured Liabilities are paid or satisfied in full,
     KPLC shall use all reasonable endeavours to reinstate any Letter of Credit
     in respect of which a demand has been made pursuant to Clause 2.10 within
     thirty (30) days after that demand is made and shall in any event reinstate
     such Letter of Credit within ninety (90) days after such demand.

2.7  KPLC shall not be obliged to ensure the issue of a new Letter of Credit in
     accordance with Clause 2.2 on or at any time after the twelfth (12th)
     anniversary of the Full Commercial Operation Date.

2.8  All costs, charges, expenses, taxes and fees relating to the establishment
     and maintenance of the Letter of Credit shall be borne and paid by KPLC,
     provided however, that OrPower 4 shall reimburse KPLC for such costs,
     charges, expenses, taxes and fees paid up to the total aggregate amount of
     1% (one percentage) per annum of the then prevailing face value of the
     Letter of Credit issued in favour of OrPower 4 in accordance with this
     Clause 2. OrPower 4 shall reimburse amounts payable to KPLC pursuant to
     this Clause 2.8 quarterly in arrears, within 30 days of KPLC's invoice
     documenting such costs at the end of the quarter, up to the aforesaid cap.

2.9  Orpower 4 undertakes not to make a demand under the Letter of Credit before
     the Plant Commissioning Date.

2.10 There are no conditions precedent to the effectivity of this Olkaria III
     Project Security Agreement.

     the twelfth (12th) anniversary of the Full Commercial Operation Date.

          thing which would or might afford a defence to a surety.
