A reduction or forfeiture of FiT or PPA payments would materially and adversely affect the financial results and results of operations
for that solar power project.

PV plants quality
or PV plants performance.

Insufficient quality
of installed solar modules and other equipment resulting in faster than estimated degradation may lead to lower revenues and higher maintenance
costs, particularly if the product guarantees have expired or the supplier is unable or unwilling to respect its obligations. Even well-maintained
high-quality PV solar power plants may, from time to time, experience technical breakdown. Furthermore, widespread PV plant failures may
damage our market reputation, reduce its market share and cause a decline of construction projects. Although a defect in our PV plants
may be caused by defects in products delivered by its sub-suppliers which are incorporated into its PV plants, there can be no assurance
that we will be entitled to or successful in claiming reimbursement, repair, replacement or damages from its sub-suppliers relating to
such defects.

Our holding companies
have a significant number of foreign subsidiaries with whom they have entered into many related party transactions. The relationship of
such holding companies with these entities could adversely affect us in the event of their bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding.

Any reductions
or modifications to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives or policies that support solar energy, including, but not limited
to, tax laws, policies and incentives, renewable portfolio standards or feed-in-tariffs, or the imposition of additional taxes or other
assessments on solar energy, could result in, among other items, the lack of a satisfactory market for the development and/or financing
of new solar energy projects, our abandoning the development of solar energy projects, a loss of our investments in solar energy projects
and reduced project returns, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects.

We depend heavily on
government policies that support utility scale renewable energy and enhance the economic feasibility of developing and operating solar
energy projects in regions in which we operate or plan to develop and operate renewable energy facilities. The federal government and
a majority of state governments in the United States provide incentives, such as tax incentives, renewable portfolio standards or feed-in-tariffs,
that support or are designed to support the sale of energy from utility scale renewable energy facilities, such as wind and solar energy
facilities. As a result of budgetary constraints, political factors or otherwise, governments from time to time
