delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege

claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including all fees, costs and expenses of counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of: 

  

	 	(i)	the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the administration (other than expenses that do not constitute out-of-pocket expenses) or enforcement thereof; 


 

	 	(ii)	any Senior Debt or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Holder of Senior Debt to honor any demand for payment under any Senior Debt Instrument, as applicable, if the documents
presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms the applicable Senior Debt Instrument); 


  
 82 








	 	(iii)	any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Laws or that can reasonably result in an Environmental Claim on or from the Project or any property
owned or operated by the Borrower, or any Environmental Affiliate or any liability pursuant to an Environmental Law related in any way to the Project or the Borrower, except for Releases of Hazardous Materials that are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee; 

  

	 	(iv)	any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any
of the Borrower’s members, managers or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents is consummated, in all
cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; or 

  

	 	(v)	any claim, demand or liability for broker’s or finder’s or placement fees or similar commissions, whether or not payable by the Borrower, alleged to have been incurred in connection with such transactions,
other than any broker’s or finder’s fees payable to Persons engaged by any Holder of Senior Debt or Affiliates or Related Parties thereof; 


provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (y) shall have arisen from
a dispute between or among the Indemnitees or from a claim of an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (in each case, other than any dispute involving claims against the Intercreditor Agent or against an Indemnitee in its capacity as a Joint Lead
Arranger, Joint Lead Bookrunner, agent or similar role hereunder, unless such claims arise from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (in each case, to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee)), which in either case is not the result of an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. 

 

	 	(b)	 To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to pay in full any amount required under Section 10.7 (Costs and Expenses) or
Section 10.10(a) above to be paid by it to the Intercreditor Agent or any Related Party thereof or the Common Security Trustee or any Related Party thereof, each Secured Debt Holder severally agrees to pay to the Intercreditor Agent, the Common
Security Trustee, or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Secured Debt Holder’s ratable share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity




  
 83 








	 	
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against the Intercreditor Agent, the Common Security Trustee or the applicable Related Party, in its capacity as such. The obligations of the Secured Debt Holders to make payments pursuant to this Section 10.10(b) are several and not
joint and shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. The failure of any Secured Debt Holder to make payments on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Secured Debt Holder of its
corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Secured Debt Holder shall be responsible for the failure of any other Secured Debt Holder to do so. 

  

	 	(c)	All amounts due under this Section 10.10 shall be payable not later than thirty (30) days after demand therefor. 

  

	 	(d)	The provisions of this Section 10.10 shall not supersede Sections 4.03 (Increased Costs) and 4.06 (Taxes) of the Term Loan A Credit Agreement, 4.03 (Increased Costs) and 4.06 (Taxes) of
the KSURE Covered Facility Agreement, 4.03 (Illegality) and 4.06 (Taxes) of the KEXIM Direct Facility Agreement, or 4.03 (Increased Costs) and 4.06 (Taxes) of the KEXIM Covered Facility Agreement and similar provisions of
any other Secured Debt Instrument.

endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity

 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Section 10.7
(Costs and Expenses), and Section 10.10 (Indemnification by Borrower) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In addition, each representation and warranty made hereunder and in any other Financing Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties shall be considered to have been relied upon by each of the Secured
Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of the borrowing made pursuant to the
Senior Debt Instruments, and shall continue in full force and effect as of the date made or any date referred to herein as long as any Senior Debt or any other Obligation hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall remain unpaid or
unsatisfied.

Government Rule, no Party shall assert, and each Party hereby waives, any claim against any other Party or their Related Parties, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
