                         (b)     If a Party fails, within twenty (20) days of written notice from a Party, to
make any payment due from such Party to any third party and such failure could result in the
imposition of a lien or other encumbrance on the property or improvements of a Party, unless the
payment of such amount is contested in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof, in which case, the
provisions of Section 3.5 shall control; and

                         (c)     If a Party fails to perform any material non-monetary obligations
hereunder, and said Party fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days of receipt of written
notice stating with particularity the nature of the default; provided, however, if such default is of
such a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, an
Event of Default shall not have occurred if the defaulting Party shall within such thirty (30) days
commence the necessary cure and shall at all times thereafter diligently and continuously
prosecute such cure to completion.

                 6.2     Right of Self Help. A non-defaulting Party may at its election following the
occurrence of a non-monetary Event of Default and the thirtieth (30th) day after the receipt of
the written notice specified in paragraph 6.1(c) hereof, undertake the cure of such default on
behalf of the defaulting Party. A non-defaulting Party is granted an easement to enter upon,
through or under the property or improvements of the defaulting Party to effect such cure.
Following the occurrence of an Event of Default involving the payment of money to a person or
entity not Party to this Agreement, a non-defaulting Party may make such payment on behalf of
the defaulting Party. All monies paid by the non-defaulting Party and all reasonable costs and
expenses (including, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by it, as the case may be, in effecting
such cure or payment, shall be paid by the defaulting Party upon written demand, together with

exceed the maximum charge which may be collected under State law.

Agreement, but without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement may be had by legal or
equitable proceedings against any defaulting Party either to specifically enforce, restrain or enjoin
the violation of any restriction, covenant, agreement, term, representation or warranty herein
contained or to recover damages. The above notwithstanding, termination of this Agreement
shall not be available as a remedy in any proceedings against any defaulting Party.

                 6.5     No Forfeiture. Except by enforcement of a judgment lien against such property,
nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any reversion, condition or right of re-entry or
other provisions for forfeiture under which any Party can be cut off, subordinated or otherwise
disturbed in the possession of its property.

requirements or performance shall continue in effect irrespective of whether anything else in this

                                 (a)        If a Party fails to make any payment due to a party hereto
within twenty (20) days of written demand for such payment;

                                 (b)        If a Party fails, within twenty (20) days of written notice from a
Party, to make any payment due from such Party to any third party and such failure could result
in the imposition of a lien or other encumbrance on the property or improvements of a Party,
unless the payment of such amount is contested in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof, in which
case, the provisions of Section 3.5 shall control; and

                                 (c)        If a Party fails to perform any material non-monetary
obligations hereunder, and said Party fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days of receipt
of written notice stating with particularity the nature of the default; provided, however, if such
default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of such
notice, an Event of Default shall not have occurred if the defaulting Party shall within such thirty
(30) days commence the necessary cure and shall at all times thereafter diligently and
continuously prosecute such cure to completion.

                       6.2     Right of Self Help. A non-defaulting Party may at its election
following the occurrence of a non-monetary Event of Default and the thirtieth (30th) day after
the receipt of the written notice specified in paragraph 6.1(c) hereof, undertake the cure of such
default on behalf of the defaulting Party. A non-defaulting Party is granted an easement to enter
upon, through or under the property or improvements of the defaulting Party to effect such cure.
Following the occurrence of an Event of Default involving the payment of money to a person or
entity not Party to this Agreement, a non-defaulting Party may make such payment on behalf of
the defaulting Party. All monies paid by the non-defaulting Party and all reasonable costs and
expenses (including, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by it, as the case may be, in effecting
such cure or payment, shall be paid by the defaulting Party upon written demand, together with
interest from the date of such demand at the rate set forth in Section 6.3. This Section 6.2 shall
not limit Pepco's self-help rights pursuant to Section 2.3(b).

exceed the maximum charge which may be collected under State law.

in this Agreement, but without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement may be had by legal or
equitable proceedings against any defaulting Party either to specifically enforce, restrain or enjoin
the violation of any restriction, covenant, agreement, term, representation or warranty herein
contained or to recover damages. The above notwithstanding, termination of this Agreement
shall not be available as a remedy in any proceedings against any defaulting Party.

                       6.5     No Forfeiture. Except by enforcement of a judgment lien against such
property, nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any reversion, condition or right of
re-entry or other provisions for forfeiture under which any Party can be cut off, subordinated or
otherwise disturbed in the possession of its property.

unless the payment of such amount is contested in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof, in which
case, the provisions of Section 3.5 shall control; and

                             (c)     If a Party fails to perform any material non-monetary
obligations hereunder, and said Party fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days of receipt
of written notice stating with particularity the nature of the default; provided, however, if such
default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of such
notice, an Event of Default shall not have occurred if the defaulting Party shall within such thirty
(30) days commence the necessary cure and shall at all times thereafter diligently and

following the occurrence of a non-monetary Event of Default and the thirtieth (30th) day after

entity not Party to this Agreement, a non-defaulting Party may make such payment on behalf of

in this Agreement, but without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement may be had by legal or
equitable proceedings against any defaulting Party either to specifically enforce, restrain or enjoin
the violation of any restriction, covenant, agreement, term, representation or warranty herein
contained or to recover damages. The above notwithstanding, termination of this Agreement
shall not be available as a remedy in any proceedings against any defaulting Party.

                     6.5     No Forfeiture. Except by enforcement of a judgment lien against such
