The exponential decay of the local energy for wave equations in exterior domains of the odd dimensional space has been proved in [1] ~ [6] etc. under the Dirichlet boundary condition and in [5], [7] under the Neumann condition and the other conditions. In this paper, we shall consider this problem for the following equation:
