ARTICLE II. 
 GULF WIND
INTEREST PURCHASE OPTION 
 Section 2.1. Option to Purchase the Gulf Wind Interest.

this Agreement) all of the Gulf Wind Interest (the “Gulf Wind Purchase Right”), exercisable by PEG Inc. in its sole discretion at any time during the Gulf Wind Purchase Right Period, and will take all actions necessary to cause the
Gulf Wind Purchase Right to be exercisable in accordance with this Article II, including by causing each PEG LP Entity to take any actions necessary to facilitate and enforce such exercise 







 
and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Article II. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice (as defined below) is provided during the Gulf Wind
Purchase Right Period, the Gulf Wind Purchase Right shall survive until the transfer of the Gulf Wind Interest pursuant to this Article II is consummated (or earlier terminated in accordance with this Article II below). 

(b) The transfer of the Gulf Wind Interest in connection with the exercise of the Gulf Wind Purchase Right shall be accomplished pursuant to
the transfer of all of the Class B Units or other Equity Interests in Pattern Gulf Wind Holdings LLC directly or indirectly held by the PEG LP Entities, or in such other manner as PEG Inc. and PEG LP shall reasonably agree, taking into account tax
efficiencies, third party consents and other reasonable considerations. 
 Section 2.2. Procedures. 

(a) At any time during the Gulf Wind Purchase Right Period, PEG Inc. may provide written notice to PEG LP of its exercise of the Gulf Wind
Purchase Right (a “Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice”), which notice shall include the fair market value it proposes to pay for the Gulf Wind Interest, and the other material economic terms of the purchase. Following delivery of the
Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice, PEG LP shall have 10 Business Days to reasonably object by written notice to PEG Inc. to the fair market value or any other material economic terms set forth in the Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice (a “Gulf
Wind FMV Objection Notice”), which Gulf Wind FMV Objection Notice shall include PEG LP’s alternative proposal for any fair market value or other material economic terms. If PEG LP does not so deliver a Gulf Wind FMV Objection Notice
within such 10 Business Day period, PEG LP shall no longer have a right to object to the terms of the Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice and shall be deemed to have irrevocably agreed to the fair market value and other terms set forth in the Gulf Wind
Purchase Right Notice; and such Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice shall be deemed to be the Final Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice (as defined below). Following any valid delivery within the period specified above of a Gulf Wind FMV Objection Notice,
PEG LP and PEG Inc. shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any objections set forth in the Gulf Wind FMV Objection Notice. If PEG Inc. and PEG LP are unable to agree on the fair market value of the Gulf Wind Interest and/or the other material
economic terms objected to in a validly delivered Gulf Wind FMV Objection Notice within 30 calendar days of such delivery, PEG Inc. and PEG LP shall, upon written notice from either PEG Inc. or PEG LP to the other, engage a Third Party Advisor to
determine the fair market value of the Gulf Wind Interest and/or the other material economic terms on which PEG Inc. and PEG LP are unable to agree. In determining the fair market value of the Gulf Wind Interest and/or the other material economic
terms on which the Gulf Wind Interest is to be sold, the Third Party Advisor shall be provided with access to the Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice, Gulf Wind FMV Objection Notice, including the proposed sale and purchase values and terms for the
offer submitted by PEG Inc. and PEG LP, respectively, and to all information prepared by or on behalf of PEG Inc. and PEG LP with respect to the Gulf Wind Interest and reasonably requested by the Third Party Advisor. The Third Party Advisor will
determine the fair market value of the Gulf Wind Interest and/or the other material economic terms on which PEG Inc. and PEG LP are unable to agree within 30 calendar days of its engagement. Upon receipt of the Third Party Advisor’s final
determination, PEG Inc. will have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase the Gulf Wind Interest for the fair market value and on the other material economic terms determined by the Third Party Advisor (and, if








 
applicable, on other terms set forth in the Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice for which no objection was set forth in a validly delivered Gulf Wind FMV Objection Notice), exercisable by delivery of
written notice to PEG LP within 10 Business Days of such determination (a “Second Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice”) setting forth such election and the determined fair market value and other material economic terms applicable to the
Gulf Wind Purchase Right. Each of PEG Inc. and PEG LP will pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of any Third Party Advisor engaged by PEG Inc. and PEG LP pursuant to this Section 2.2(a). The “Final Gulf Wind
Purchase Right Notice” shall mean: (i) the Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice if PEG LP does not deliver a Gulf Wind FMV Objection Notice in accordance with this Section 2.2(a) or (ii) the Second Gulf Wind Purchase Right
Notice if PEG LP delivers a Gulf Wind FMV Objection Notice in accordance with this Section 2.2(a). 
 (b) If PEG Inc. delivers a
Final Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice, PEG LP shall be obligated to sell the Gulf Wind Interest to PEG Inc. and PEG Inc. shall be obligated to purchase the Gulf Wind Interest from PEG LP at the fair market value and on the other economic terms set
forth in the Final Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice, as well as on the following terms and conditions (which shall be further documented and set forth in a purchase and sale agreement that shall be entered into by the Parties): 

(i) PEG Inc. will deliver to PEG LP the cash purchase price specified in the Final Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice and PEG LP
will deliver to PEG Inc. the Gulf Wind Interest (together with reasonable evidence and instruments of transfer with respect thereto) within 120 days of PEG Inc.“s delivery of a Final Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice (unless such period is
otherwise extended pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(iii)); 
 (ii) PEG LP will provide customary representations and
warranties with respect to title to the Gulf Wind Interest being free and clear of liens and any third party rights, valid conveyance, non-contravention, valid existence and due authorization, execution and authority, and any other such matters as
PEG Inc. may reasonably request, with customary indemnification and survival; and 
 (iii) if the closing of the acquisition
of the Gulf Wind Interest shall not have been consummated within 120 days following PEG Inc.’s delivery of a Final Gulf Wind Purchase Right Notice, either PEG LP or PEG Inc. shall be entitled to terminate any obligation to sell or purchase, as
applicable, the Gulf Wind Interest under this Article II and the related purchase and sale agreement, and upon such termination neither PEG LP nor PEG Inc. shall have any obligation to sell or purchase the Gulf Wind Interest pursuant thereto;
provided that if a Party’s breach of this Article II or the related purchase and sale agreement has resulted in the failure of the closing to occur by such date, such Party shall not be entitled to so terminate its obligation to
sell or purchase, as applicable, the Gulf Wind Interest under this Article II or the related purchase and sale agreement; provided further that PEG Inc. may extend the period for closing under such purchase and sale agreement
for a period not to exceed an additional 120 days (unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to an extension of more than 120 days) if PEG Inc. is not in breach of such purchase and sale agreement and is continuing to use reasonable efforts to
work toward a closing of such purchase and sale agreement. 







 (c) PEG LP shall not, and shall cause the PEG LP Entities not to, make any Transfers with respect
to the Gulf Wind Interest from the date hereof through the later of (i) the termination of the Gulf Wind Purchase Right Period and (ii) the termination of any purchase and sale agreement entered into pursuant to Section 2.2(b)
prior to the expiration of the Gulf Wind Purchase Right Period, it being agreed and understood that Transfers by the PEG LP Entities to PEG Inc. shall otherwise be made in accordance with the other provisions of this Article II. 

ARTICLE III. 
 PROJECT PURCHASE
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER 
 Section 3.1. Project Purchase Right of First Offer. For the term set forth in
Section 3.3, PEG LP hereby grants PEG Inc. a right of first offer on any proposed Transfer by any PEG LP Entity of all or any portion of such PEG LP Entity’s ownership interest in any power generation or transmission facility or
project now or hereafter owned in whole or in part by any PEG LP Entity in any stage, including in development, construction or commercial operation (each a “Project”), in accordance with Section 3.2. PEG LP will take
all actions necessary to cause such right of first offer to be exercisable in accordance with this Article III, including by causing each PEG LP Entity to take any actions necessary to facilitate and enforce such exercise and to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Article III. 
 Section 3.2. Procedures for Rights of First Offer. 

(a) In the event that any PEG LP Entity proposes to Transfer all or any portion of its ownership interest in any Project, PEG LP shall give PEG
Inc. written notice within a commercially reasonable amount of time setting forth the details of the proposed Transfer, including a description of the Project (including the mega-wattage, stage of development or construction, material
counterparties, details of the project contracts and other material information with respect to the Project that an acquiror thereof would reasonably be anticipated to request in order to reasonably diligence and assess such Project), the interest
to be Transferred (the “Subject Project Interest”) and any other material terms of the proposed Transfer reasonably known or anticipated by PEG LP (a “Project Transfer Notice”). 

(b) Within 30 calendar days (or 60 calendar days in the event that at the relevant time the chief executive officer of PEG LP is not an
employee of PEG Inc.) after delivery of a Project Transfer Notice, PEG Inc. shall either: (i) deliver a written offer to PEG LP to purchase the Subject Project Interest setting forth PEG Inc.’s offer price (a “Project Offer
Price”) and other material terms and conditions on which PEG Inc. proposes to purchase such Subject Project Interest (a “First Rights Project Offer”) or (ii) deliver a written notice to PEG LP that PEG Inc. will not
make a First Rights Project Offer in response to the Project Transfer Notice (a “First Rights Project Declination”). Unless a First Rights Project Offer is rejected pursuant to written notice from PEG LP delivered to PEG Inc. within
14 calendar days of PEG Inc.’s delivery of a First Rights Project Offer, such First Rights Project Offer shall be deemed to have been accepted by PEG LP, and PEG Inc. shall have the right to acquire the Subject Project Interest, and PEG LP
shall transfer the Subject Project Interest to PEG Inc., on the terms set forth in First Rights Project Offer, and subject to documentation reasonably agreed between the parties. 







 (c) In the event that PEG Inc. delivers a First Rights Project Declination as provided in
Section 3.2(b) above, or PEG LP validly rejects a First Rights Project Offer as provided in Section 3.2(b) above, PEG LP shall not be restricted from Transfering the applicable Subject Project Interest to any Person within
nine months of such delivery or rejection (as applicable); provided, however, that in the event that PEG Inc. has previously delivered a First Rights Project Offer in respect of the Subject Project Interest which offer was rejected,
PEG LP shall only be permitted to Transfer the Subject Project Interest to a party other than PEG Inc. during such nine month period at a price greater than or equal to 105% of the applicable Project Offer Price and on other terms and conditions
that are not materially less favorable to PEG LP than the terms and conditions set forth in any applicable First Rights Project Offer; provided, further, that PEG LP may not provide any material information with respect to the
applicable Subject Project Interest to any actual or potential Transferee of such Subject Project Interest that was not provided to PEG Inc. together with the Project Transfer Notice. If PEG LP does not so consummate the Transfer of the Subject
Project Interest within such nine month period, the terms of this Section 3.2 shall apply anew with respect to any Transfer of such Subject Project Interest. 

Section 3.3. Term of the Project Purchase Right of First Offer. Section 3.1 and Section 3.2, including the
obligations and rights of PEG LP and PEG Inc. thereunder, shall survive for an initial term of five-years after the Closing Date, and shall automatically renew for successive five-year terms unless PEG LP or PEG Inc. provide written notice of
termination to the other not more than 120 calendar days and no less than 90 calendar days prior to the expiration of the then current term, in which case, Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 (and such obligations and rights) shall
terminate and expire at the end of the then current term; provided, that PEG LP shall have the right to terminate Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 upon written notice delivered to PEG Inc. at any time within 90 calendar
days following the third Transfer of an Operational Project or Construction-Ready Project (other than with respect to an immaterial portion of such project) to Persons other than Affiliates of PEG LP or PEG Inc. following PEG Inc.’s delivery to
PEG LP of three (3) First Rights Project Declinations in accordance with Section 3.2 with respect to each such Operational Project or Construction-Ready Project (for the avoidance of doubt, any such project must have been an
Operational Project or Construction-Ready Project when the related First Rights Project Offer was delivered to PEG Inc.); provided, further, that notwithstanding any termination or expiration of Section 3.1 and
Section 3.2, if any First Rights Project Offer shall have been delivered prior to such termination or expiration, the obligations and rights of the Parties with respect to the Subject Project Interest subject thereto shall survive until
the applicable terms of Section 3.2 with respect thereto have been complied with and performed in full. 
 ARTICLE IV. 

PEG LP PURCHASE RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER 

Section 4.1. PEG LP Purchase Right of First Offer. For the term set forth in Section 4.3, PEG LP and the PEG LP
Partners hereby grant PEG Inc. a right of first offer on any proposed Transfer of any material portion of the Equity Interests or all or substantially all of the assets of PEG LP in accordance with Section 4.2. PEG LP and the PEG LP
Partners will take all actions necessary to cause such right of first offer to be exercisable in accordance with this Article IV, including by causing each PEG LP Entity to take any actions necessary to facilitate and enforce such exercise
and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Article IV. 







 The Parties will reasonably cooperate in determining the scope of any proposed Transfer that PEG LP and the PEG
LP Partners consider to be an immaterial portion of Equity Interests of PEG LP with a view of not circumventing the purpose of this Article IV. 

Section 4.2. Procedures for Rights of First Offer. 

(a) In the event that the PEG LP Partners or PEG LP propose to Transfer any material portion of the Equity Interests or all or substantially
all of the assets of PEG LP, PEG LP and the PEG LP Partners shall give PEG Inc. written notice setting forth the details of the proposed Transfer, including a description of PEG LP’s assets (including, with respect to each of PEG LP’s
Projects, the mega-wattage, stage of development or construction, material counterparties, details of any project contracts and other material information with respect to PEG LP and the Projects that an acquiror thereof would reasonably be
anticipated to request in order to reasonably diligence and assess PEG LP and such Projects), the Equity Interests or assets to be Transferred (in each case, the “PEG LP Interests”) and any other material terms of the proposed
Transfer reasonably known or anticipated by PEG LP or the PEG LP Partners (a “PEG LP Transfer Notice”). 
 (b) Within 45
calendar days after delivery of a PEG LP Transfer Notice, PEG Inc. shall either: (i) deliver a written offer to PEG LP and the PEG LP Partners to purchase the PEG LP Interests setting forth PEG Inc.’s offer price (a “PEG LP Offer
Price”) and other material terms and conditions on which PEG Inc. proposes to purchase the PEG LP Interests (a “First Rights PEG LP Offer”) or (ii) deliver a written notice to PEG LP that PEG Inc. will not make a First
Rights PEG LP Offer in response to the PEG LP Transfer Notice (a “First Rights PEG LP Declination”). Unless a First Rights PEG LP Offer is rejected pursuant to written notice from PEG LP delivered to PEG Inc. within 30 calendar days
of PEG Inc.’s delivery of a First Rights PEG LP Offer, such First Rights PEG LP Offer shall be deemed to have been accepted by PEG LP and the PEG LP Partners, and PEG Inc. shall have the right to acquire the PEG LP Interests, and PEG LP and the
PEG LP Partners shall transfer the PEG LP Interests to PEG Inc., on the terms set forth in First Rights PEG LP Offer, and subject to documentation reasonably agreed between the parties. 

(c) In the event that PEG Inc. delivers a First Rights PEG LP Declination as provided in Section 4.2(b) above, or PEG LP validly
rejects a First Rights PEG LP Offer as provided in Section 4.2(b) above, PEG LP and the PEG LP Partners shall be free to Transfer the PEG LP Interests to any Person within nine months of such delivery or rejection (as applicable);
provided, however, that in the event that PEG Inc. had previously delivered a First Rights PEG LP Offer that was rejected, PEG LP and the PEG LP Partners shall only be permitted to Transfer the PEG LP Interests to a party other than
PEG Inc. during such nine month period at a price greater than or equal to 105% of the applicable PEG LP Offer Price and on other terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable to PEG LP and the PEG LP Partners than the terms and
conditions set forth in any applicable First Rights PEG LP Offer; provided, further, that PEG LP and the PEG LP Partners may not provide any material information with respect to PEG LP, its assets or the PEG LP Interests to any actual
or potential Transferee of the PEG LP Interests that was not provided to PEG Inc. together with the PEG LP Transfer Notice. If PEG LP does not so consummate the Transfer of the PEG LP Interests within such nine month period, the terms of this

party. Notice given by personal delivery or mail shall be effective upon actual receipt. Couriered notices shall be deemed delivered on the date the courier represents that delivery will occur. Notice given by telecopier shall be effective upon
actual receipt if received during the recipient’s normal business hours, or at the beginning of the recipient’s next Business Day after receipt if not received during the recipient’s normal business hours. All notices to be sent to a
Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be sent to or made at the address set forth below such Party’s signature to this Agreement, or at such other address as such Party may stipulate to the other Parties in the manner provided in this
Section 5.3. 
 Section 5.4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties
relating to the matters contained herein, superseding all prior contracts or agreements, whether oral or written, relating to the matters contained herein. 

Section 5.5. Waiver; Effect of Waiver or Consent. Any Party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any
obligation or other act of any other Party hereto or (b) waive compliance with any agreement or condition of any other Party contained herein. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if
set forth in a written instrument duly executed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. No waiver or consent, express or implied, by any Party of or to any breach or default by any Person in the performance by such Person of its obligations
hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver or consent of or to any other breach or default in the performance by such Person of the same or any other obligations of such Person hereunder. Failure on the part of a Party to complain of any
act of any Person or to declare any Person in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its rights hereunder until the applicable statute of limitations period has run. 

Section 5.6. Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by the written agreement
of all the Parties hereto. 
 Section 5.7. Assignment. No Party shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the consent of the other Parties hereto, except that PEG Inc. shall be enabled to assign its rights hereunder to an affiliate that agrees to be bound to the terms hereof; provided, that subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement shall be binding on the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. 
 Section 5.8. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatory parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 5.9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be
held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. 







 Section 5.10. Rules of Construction. Interpretation of this Agreement shall be
governed by the following rules of construction: (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires, (b) references to the
terms Article, Section, paragraph, and Schedule are references to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified, (c) the word “including” and words of similar import shall mean
“including, without limitation,” (d) provisions shall apply, when appropriate, to successive events and transactions, (e) the headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning
or interpretation of this Agreement and (f) this Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

this Agreement and all such transactions. 
 Section 5.12. Laws and Regulations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, no party to this Agreement shall be required to take any act, or fail to take any act, under this Agreement if the effect thereof would be to cause such party to be in violation of any Applicable Law.

Agreement, and no other Person, including any limited partner, member or equity holder of the Parties, shall have the right, separate and apart from the Parties, as applicable, to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to compel any Party to
