 SECTION 2.2 Priority and Payment Over Upon Insolvency and Dissolution. 

In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or similar case
or proceeding in connection therewith relative to the Company or its creditors as such or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving
insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company, then and in any such event the holders of the Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full
in cash of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Debt before the holders of the Subordinated Debt shall be entitled to receive and retain any payment on account of the principal, interest or other amounts due or to become
due on the Subordinated Debt, and to that end the holders of the Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment of the Senior Debt, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company which is subordinated to the payment of the Subordinated Debt, which may be payable or
deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Debt in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up or event. Accordingly, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, which would otherwise have been made to the holders of the Subordinated Debt but for the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall instead be made by the Company or by the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee,
custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company directly to the holders of the Senior Debt for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all
Senior Debt in full in cash after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Debt. 
 If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, any holder of the Subordinated Debt shall have received any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company which is subordinated to the payment of the
Subordinated Debt, before all amounts due (or to become due under the EPC Contract) on or in respect of all Senior Debt have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be received in trust for
the holders of the Senior Debt and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered by the holder of the Subordinated Debt receiving the same directly to the holders of the Senior Debt or, to the extent legally required, to the trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution of assets of the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt
in full in cash after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of the Senior Debt. 
 For

securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Debt which may at the time be outstanding to the same or a greater extent than the
Subordinated Debt is subordinated as provided for in this Agreement.

 SECTION 2.3 Priority and Payment Over Upon Acceleration of the Subordinated Debt. 

If any Subordinated Debt is declared due and payable before the date specified therein as the fixed date on which the principal thereof is
due and payable, then and in such event the holders of the Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full in cash of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of the Senior Debt before the holders of the Subordinated
Debt shall be entitled to receive and retain any payment (including any such payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company which is subordinated to the payment of the Subordinated Debt) by the Company
on account of the principal of, interest on or any other amount due or to become due on the Subordinated Debt or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of the Subordinated Debt. Accordingly, any payment by the Company of any amount which
the holders of the Subordinated Debt would have been entitled to receive and retain but for the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall instead be made by the Company directly to the holders of the Senior Debt for application to the payment of all
Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full in cash after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of the Senior Debt. 

If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, any holder of the Subordinated Debt shall have received any
payment, including any payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company which is subordinated to the payment of the Subordinated Debt, before all amounts due on or in respect of the Senior Debt have been
paid in full in cash, then and in such event such payment shall be received in trust for the holders of the Senior Debt and shall be forthwith paid over by the holder of the Subordinated Debt receiving such payment to the holders of the Senior Debt
for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full in cash after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of the Senior Debt. 

The provisions of this Section 2.3 above shall not apply to any payment or distribution with respect to which Section 2.2 would
be applicable. 
 SECTION 2.4 Payments on Subordinated Debt. 
 The Junior Creditor and the Company hereby agree and acknowledge that until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Senior Debt, no payment (including any payment which may be payable by reason of
the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company which is subordinated to the payment of the Subordinated Debt) shall be made by the Company on account of the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Debt or on account of the purchase or
other acquisition by it of the Subordinated Debt other than as permitted by the terms of the Accounts Agreement. Any contrary provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company and Ormat acknowledge and agree that any interest relating to the
Subordinated Debt that is not paid when due under the subordinated credit agreement will be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Subordinated Debt in accordance with the subordinated credit agreement.

 EXECUTION COPY 

 

 If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, the Company shall
make any payment or distribution on or with respect to any Subordinated Debt prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, then and in every such event such payment or distribution shall be forthwith paid over or delivered by the
holders of the Subordinated Debt to Ormat. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall not apply to any payment with
respect of which Section 2.2 or 2.3 would be applicable. 
 SECTION 2.5 Obligation to Pay Subordinated Debt Not Impaired; Provisions to
Define Relative Rights. 
 Except as provided in this Article 2, the provisions of this Agreement are and are intended
solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of the Subordinated Debt on the one hand and the holders of the Senior Debt on the other hand. It is and shall be the intent of the parties that this Agreement shall constitute a
present assignment by the holders of the Subordinated Debt of their rights to receive payments or distributions of cash, property and securities of the Company otherwise payable to the holders of the Subordinated Debt as and to the extent set forth
in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4. Nothing contained in this Agreement, except as set forth in this Article 2, shall (a) impair or affect, as among the Company, its creditors (other than the holders of the Senior Debt) and the holders of the
Subordinated Debt, the obligation of the Company to pay the holders of the Subordinated Debt the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Debt as of when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or (b) affect
the relative rights against the Company of the holders of the Subordinated Debt and the creditors of the Company (other than the holders of the Senior Debt as set forth herein). 

ARTICLE 3 

IN FURTHERANCE OF SUBORDINATION 
 SECTION 3.1 Restriction on Assignment of Subordinated Debt. 
 The Junior
Creditor and each holder of the Subordinated Debt by its acceptance thereof agrees not to sell, assign or transfer all or any part of the Subordinated Debt while any Senior Debt remains unpaid unless such sale, assignment or transfer is made
expressly subject to this Agreement. The Junior Creditor represents that no other subordination of the Subordinated Debt is in existence on the date hereof, and the Junior Creditor agrees that the Subordinated Debt will not be subordinated to any
indebtedness owed to any Person other than Ormat. 
 SECTION 3.2 Reliance on Subordination. 

The Junior Creditor and each holder of the Subordinated Debt by its acceptance thereof consents and agrees that all Senior Debt shall be
deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon the subordination of the Subordinated Debt pursuant to this Agreement.

 EXECUTION COPY 

 

 SECTION 3.3 Actions Against the Company. 

No holder of the Subordinated Debt will (a) commence any action or proceeding against the Company to recover all or any part of such
Subordinated Debt or (b) join with any creditor in bringing any proceeding against the Company under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other state or federal insolvency statute and until, in each case, the Senior Debt shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash (provided that holders of the Subordinated Debt may so file concurrently with or after the holders of the Senior Debt). The Junior Creditor and each other holder of the Subordinated Debt will not, except as
permitted under the Accounts Agreement, ask, demand, sue for, take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash, property or securities or other property or by set-off or in any other manner (including, from or by way of collateral),
payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Debt unless and until all Senior Debt shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or the benefits of this sentence waived by or on behalf of the holder or holders of the Senior Debt. 

SECTION 3.4 Subrogation. 

Subject to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt, the holders of the Subordinated Debt shall be subrogated to the
extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of the Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to
indebtedness of the Company substantially to the extent that the Subordinated Debt is subordinated hereunder and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of
cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Debt and all other obligations, monetary or otherwise, or liabilities now or hereafter arising related to the Subordinated Debt shall
be paid in full in cash. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which the holders of the Subordinated Debt would be entitled but for the provisions of
this Agreement, and no payments over, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4, to the holders of the Senior Debt by the holders of the Subordinated Debt shall, as among the Company, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior
Debt) and the holders of the Subordinated Debt, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt. 

SECTION 3.5 Proofs of Claim. 
 The Junior Creditor may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents or may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Junior Creditor allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the Subordinated Debt, including any guarantor), its creditors or its property. If the Junior Creditor files any claim, proof of claim or similar instrument in any judicial proceeding referred to
above and all Senior Debt has not been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the Junior Creditor shall (a) file such claim, proof of claim or similar instrument on behalf of Ormat as it or such other holder’s or holders’ interests may
appear and (b) take all such other actions as may be appropriate to insure that all payments and distributions made in respect of any such proceedings are made to Ormat as its interests may appear.

 EXECUTION COPY 

 

 Any term or provision of this Section 3.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, if any
judicial proceeding referred to above is commenced by or against the Company, and so long as all Senior Debt has not been paid in full in cash: (a) except in connection with any proceedings arising from claims of the Company against Ormat under
the EPC Contract, Ormat is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the Junior Creditor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution received
in respect of any such proceeding and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claims and (b) the Junior Creditor shall duly and promptly take, for the account of Ormat, such reasonable action as Ormat may request (i) to
collect all amounts payable by the Company in respect of the Subordinated Debt and to file the appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt, (ii) to execute and deliver to Ormat such assignments or other instruments
as Ormat may request in order to enable Ormat to enforce any and all claims with respect to all amounts payable in respect of the Subordinated Debt and (iii) to collect and receive any and all payments with respect to all amounts payable in
respect of the Subordinated Debt. Until the Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash, no holder of the Subordinated Debt will (in any proceeding of the type described in Section 2.2) discharge all or any portion of the obligations of the
Company in respect of the Subordinated Debt, whether by forgiveness, receipt of capital stock, exercise of conversion privileges or otherwise, without the prior consent of the holders of the Senior Debt. 

SECTION 3.6 Certain Proceedings. 
 Each holder of the Subordinated Debt agrees that, as between themselves and the holders of the Senior Debt, the latter shall be deemed to be the “holders” of all claims in respect of the
Subordinated Debt in any proceeding or activity of the type contemplated by clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 2.2 (each, a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”). To the extent not deemed to be “not in good faith” within
the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 1126(e), each holder of the Subordinated Debt agrees to vote to accept a plan of reorganization or dissolution in respect of the Company which the holders of the Senior Debt have accepted or have notified the
holders of the Subordinated Debt of their intent to accept. If such acceptance by the holders of the Subordinated Debt is or might (in the sole judgment of the holders of the Senior Debt) cause the claims of the holders of the Subordinated Debt to
be designated under 11 U.S.C. Section 1126(e), then, each holder of the Subordinated Debt agrees not to vote against a plan of reorganization or dissolution which the holders of the Senior Debt have accepted or have notified the holders of
the Subordinated Debt of their intent to accept. Any such vote for any plan or abstention from voting against any plan pursuant to the immediately two preceding sentences shall be enforceable by the holders of the Senior Debt against the holders of
the Subordinated Debt regardless of whether such plan allows a class subordinated to the claims of the Subordinated Debt to retain an interest in the Company or whether the holders of the Subordinated Debt will receive or retain under such plan on
account of their claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt property having value less than the amount that such holders would receive or retain if the Bankruptcy Proceeding were under Chapter 7 of the federal Bankruptcy Code.

Ormat may at any time, and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Junior Creditor or to any other holder of the
Subordinated Debt, without incurring responsibility to the Junior Creditor or such holder, and without impairing or releasing any of Ormat’s rights, or any of the obligations of the Junior Creditor or other holders of the Subordinated Debt
hereunder: 
 (a) change the time, amount, manner, place or terms of payment, or change or extend the time of

 SECTION 4.2 Continued Effectiveness. 
 The terms of this Agreement shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Ormat upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise,
all as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.
