    the inability to extend our initial land leases on the same terms for the full useful life of the project;

    ●
    disputes with federal agencies, state agencies, or other public or private owners of land on which our projects are located, or adjacent landowners;

    ●
    changes in tax, environmental, health and safety, land use, labor, trade, or other laws, including changes in related governmental permit requirements;

    ●
    government or utility exercise of eminent domain power or similar events;

    ●
    existence of liens, encumbrances, or other imperfections in title affecting real estate interests; and

    ●
    failure to obtain or maintain insurance or failure of our insurance to fully compensate us for repairs, theft or vandalism, and other actual losses.

These and other factors
could have adverse consequences on our solar projects. For example, these factors could require us to shut down or reduce the output of
such projects, degrade equipment, reduce the useful life of the project, and materially increase O&M and other costs. Unanticipated
capital expenditures associated with maintaining or repairing our projects would reduce profitability. Congestion, emergencies, maintenance,
outages, overloads, requests by other parties for transmission service, including on our facilities, actions or omissions by other projects
with which we share facilities, and certain other events, including events beyond our control, could partially or completely curtail generation
and delivery of energy by our projects and could lead to our customers terminating their PPAs with us. Any termination of a project’s
interconnection or transmission arrangements or non-compliance by an interconnection provider, the owner or operator of shared facilities,
or another third party with its obligations under an interconnection, shared facilities, or transmission arrangement may delay or prevent
our projects from delivering energy to our offtakers. If the interconnection, shared facilities, or transmission arrangement for a project
is terminated, we may not be able to replace it on similar terms to the existing arrangement, or at all, or we may experience significant
delays or costs in connection with such replacement. In addition, replacement and spare parts for solar panels, and other key pieces of
equipment may be difficult or costly to acquire or may be unavailable.

Any of the risks described
above could significantly decrease or eliminate the revenues of a project, significantly increase its operating costs, cause us to default
under our financing agreements, or give rise to damages or penalties owed by us to an offtaker, another contractual
