Except as set forth in this Section 6 or Section 5 above, NEDAK’s right to utilize the Cash Proceeds shall at all times from and after the Financial Close Date be subject to the TNDK approval requirements set forth in Section 5.18 of the Fifth Operating Agreement.

9.           Loan Restructuring Condition.  The parties hereto understand and agree that the obligations of the parties under this Letter Agreement, and any deliverables required pursuant hereto, are subject to and expressly conditioned upon the negotiation of the Loan Restructuring on terms acceptable to the NEDAK Board and approved by TNDK.

from (a) third party claims against a TNDK Indemnified Party, other than a TNDK Indemnified Party subject to such third party claim solely in his or her capacity as a director of NEDAK, alleging any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the PPM or any other document incident to the offering contemplated by the PPM, or alleging any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by NEDAK of the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws, or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to NEDAK and relating to action or inaction required of NEDAK in connection with the offering contemplated by the PPM, and (b) claims by or fines or penalties issued by any state or federal governmental authority that directly arise out of or result from the failure of the NEDAK plant to operate in compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations or the conditions or provisions of all applicable permits; provided, that any such claims, fines or penalties are based solely on conditions or failures existing on or before the Financial Close Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties understand and agree that NEDAK’s indemnification obligations for Losses pursuant to this Section 10 do not extend to any losses sustained by TNDK in its capacity as a holder of Class B Units, or any other class of units, of NEDAK.







11.           Third Party Beneficiaries.  The provisions of this Letter Agreement are intended for the sole benefit of TNDK and NEDAK and, except to the extent expressly provided in this Letter Agreement for the benefit of any TNDK Indemnified Parties to be indemnified hereunder, shall not imply or create any rights on the part of, or obligations to, any other person or entity.

Subscriber has relied solely upon the information furnished in or in connection with the Memorandum and the Letter Agreement, and Subscriber has not relied on any oral or written representation or statement, except as contained in or furnished pursuant to the Memorandum and the Letter Agreement, in making this investment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber expressly represents and warrants that it did not contact the Company in response to any article relating to the Company or its principals published in a publication of general circulation prior to the date hereof.  The Subscriber acknowledges that it has been advised that Subscriber may further review extensive information concerning the Company and its development via the Company’s filings made under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which can be found at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, however the filings are not incorporated into the Memorandum or this Subscription Agreement.

The Subscriber agrees to return this Subscription Agreement, the Memorandum and all other documents to the Company if the Subscriber does not intend to subscribe for the purchase of the Units, the Subscriber’s subscription is not accepted, or the Offering is terminated.

f.

The Subscriber agrees to notify the Company promptly if the percentage of assets which is owned by benefit plan investors should equal or exceed 25%.


 


g.

k.
