in its sole discretion at any time during the Term (the “Purchase Right”), and
PEG 1 or PEG 2, as applicable, will take all actions necessary to cause the sale
and transfer to PEG Inc. of any Support Assets with respect to which PEG Inc.
has exercised the Purchase Right.
Section 11.02 Procedure. PEG Inc. shall deliver to PEG 1 or PEG 2, as
applicable, written notice upon the exercise of the Purchase Right, which notice
shall specify the Support Assets with respect to which PEG Inc. is exercising
the Purchase Right. Thereafter, the Parties will negotiate in good faith the
fair market value that PEG Inc. will pay PEG 1 or PEG 2, as applicable, for any
Support Asset being purchased and the other terms and conditions with respect
thereto. The Parties will complete the purchase and sale within thirty (30) days
following receipt of PEG Inc.’s initial notice to PEG 1 and PEG 2.
Section 11.03 Disputes. Any dispute between the Parties arising with respect to
the purchase and sale of Support Assets, including with respect to the fair
market value of any Support Assets, shall be settled in accordance with
Article VIII hereof.
Section 11.04 Transfer. PEG 1 and PEG 2, as applicable, will exercise
commercially reasonable efforts to promptly transfer and assign to PEG Inc. any
licenses, registrations, warranties, consents and other rights associated with
any Support Assets purchased by PEG Inc. pursuant to the Purchase Right. In the
event that any such license, registration, warranty, consent or other right is
not by its terms transferable to PEG Inc., PEG 1 or PEG 2, as applicable, will
enter into such arrangements that give PEG Inc. substantially the same benefit
as though such license, registration, warranty, consent or other right was
transferred to PEG Inc. pursuant to the Purchase Right.

Section 12.07 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all appendices and
exhibits thereto) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the
parties thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior written and oral agreements and understandings with respect to such

(a)    Except as required by applicable law or explicitly required or permitted
by this Agreement, no Party shall, without the prior written consent of the
other Party, (i) disclose any confidential information obtained from the other
Party to any third parties, other than to consultants, employees, officers and
potential financing parties who have agreed to keep such information
confidential as contemplated by this Agreement and who need the information to
carry out the purpose for which they were engaged (ii) use any confidential
information obtained from the other party except for the purposes set forth in
the Agreement.

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    This Section 12.09 does not apply to information that the receiving party
can demonstrate is presently a matter of public knowledge or which is or becomes
available as a matter of public knowledge from a source which is not known to be
prohibited from disclosing such information. In the event that a Party is
requested or required by legal or regulatory authority to disclose any
confidential information, the Party shall promptly notify the disclosing Party
of such request or requirement prior to disclosure so that the disclosing Party
may seek an appropriate protective order. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the receiving Party shall have the right to disclose only so
much of the confidential information as, in the advice of its legal counsel, the
receiving party is legally required to disclose. In such an event, the receiving
Party agrees to use good faith efforts to ensure that all confidential
information that is so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment.
(c)    The foregoing obligations will not apply to the tax treatment or tax
structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transaction”)

disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax
treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all other materials of any
kind (including opinions or other tax analysis) that are provided to any party
relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any such information
relating to such tax treatment and tax structure is required to be kept
confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable securities
laws. The preceding sentences are intended to cause the Transaction not to be
treated as having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes
of Sections 1.6011-4(b)(3) and 301.6111­2(a)(2)(ii) (or any successor provision)
of the Treasury Regulations issued under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

liable hereunder for such discharged duties and obligations, unless such duties
are assigned pursuant to Section 12.01.

prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of law that
renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
Section 12.13 Binding Effect. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon,
and inure to the benefit of, the Parties hereto and their successors and
permitted assigns. Subject to Section 12.11, nothing in this Agreement, whether

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exhibit A
Methodology for Determining Allocation of Cost and Expenses
1.
Allocation of costs and expenses will be between Pattern Energy Group LP (PEG
1), Pattern Energy Group 2 LP (PEG 2) and Pattern Energy Group Inc. (PEG Inc.).

2.
Costs and expenses incurred at PEG 1 or any of its respective subsidiaries will
be allocated to PEG Inc. and PEG 2, as applicable. Conversely, costs and
expenses incurred at PEG Inc. or its subsidiaries will be allocated to PEG 1 and
PEG 2, as applicable.

3.
Costs and expenses included in the allocation will be:

a.
Employee (labor) related, including but not limited to salaries and benefits;

b.
Travel and entertainment;

c.
Professional fees, including but not limited to consulting and legal;

d.
Information technology, including but not limited to computer hardware, network
services, software licenses and telecom;

e.
General and administrative, including but not limited to insurance, rent, and
other facilities, advertising, office supplies, public relations, and delivery
charges;

f.
Cash bonus compensation for employees; provided, however, with respect to
members of the executive management team of PEG Inc. or PEG 1, such bonus
compensation will only be included to the extent that such compensation does not
exceed 120% of the average compensation paid to such executive during the three
(3) prior calendar years (after disregarding from such three-year average any
compensation that exceeded such 120% threshold); and

g.
Non-cash compensation for employees, to the extent such non-cash compensation
does not exceed 10% of the total compensation paid in such calendar year.

4.
Allocating labor and other costs and expenses will be determined by percentages
based on time­study results. Quarterly questionnaires will be completed by all
employees and will require all employees to accurately designate time spent on
various categories, including but not limited to development, construction,
operating projects owned by PEG Inc. or general corporate matters.

5.
PEG 1 and PEG 2 will allocate costs and expenses to PEG Inc. by:

a.
Determining its total costs and expenses as listed above.

b.
Determine the allocation percentage from quarterly time­study questionnaire
results. In general, percent classifications to operating projects owned by PEG
Inc. will be used to allocate costs from PEG 1 or PEG 2, as applicable, to PEG
Inc.

c.
Allocated costs and expenses will be equal to total costs and expenses
multiplied by the allocation percentage.

6.
PEG Inc. and PEG 2 will allocate costs and expenses to PEG 1 by:

a.
Determining its total costs and expenses as listed above.

Exhibit A

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b.
Determine allocation percentage from quarterly time­study questionnaire results.
In general, percent classifications to operating projects owned by PEG Inc. will
be attributed to PEG Inc. The remaining percentage will be used to allocate
costs from PEG Inc. and PEG 2 to PEG 1.

c.
Allocated costs and expenses will be equal to total costs multiplied by the
allocation percentage.
