The Class B, Series 2 Units shall track ownership of the Adelanto Interest.  The Class B, Series 2 Limited Partners shall only have rights, powers and duties with respect to the Adelanto Interest or obligations of the Partnership relating to the Adelanto Interest and shall only have rights to profits or losses associated with the Adelanto Interest.  The records maintained for the Class B, Series 2 Units shall account for the Adelanto Interest separately from the other assets of the Partnership.  The debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Class B, Series 2 Units shall be enforceable only against the assets of the Class B, Series 2 Units and not against the assets of the Partnership generally or any other series thereof, or any general partner not associated with such series.  None of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Partnership generally or any other series thereof shall be enforceable against the assets of the Class B Series 2 Units.  Assets associated with the Class B, Series 2 Units may be held directly or indirectly, including in the name of such series, in the name of the Partnership, through a nominee or otherwise. Records maintained for the Class B, Series 2 Units that reasonably identify the assets of the series, including by specific listing, category, type, quantity, computational or allocational formula or procedure (including a percentage or share of any asset or assets) or by any other method where the identity of such assets is objectively determinable, will be deemed to account for the assets associated with such series separately from the other assets of the Partnership, or any other series thereof.
(b)    Number of  Units.  The Class B, Series 2 Units shall be a series consisting of one million (1,000,000) units authorized to be issued.

(ii)    No Class B, Series 2 Limited Partner is required to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Class B, Series 2 Limited Partners may make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership in their sole discretion, pro rata in accordance with the percentage of the outstanding Class B, Series 2 Units held by each such Class B, Series 2 Limited Partner.  If additional Capital Contributions are made by the Class B, Series 2 Limited Partners, then the proceeds of such Capital Contributions shall be immediately contributed by the Partnership as a capital contribution to NEP US Holdings and the Partnership agrees (i) to cause NEP US Holdings to immediately contribute such proceeds as a capital contribution to the Grantee, (ii) to cause the Grantee to immediately contribute such proceeds as a capital contribution to Adelanto Solar Funding, (iii) to cause Adelanto Solar Funding to immediately contribute such proceeds as a capital contribution to Adelanto Solar Holdings and (ii) to cause Adelanto Solar Holdings to immediately contribute such proceeds as a capital contribution to Adelanto Project Companies to

Distributions on the Class B, Series 2 Units (other than as provided in subparagraph (f) of this Section 2.2) shall be made only out of the Available Distribution Amount for the Class B, Series 2 Units (as defined below) as hereinafter provided.  The “Available Distribution Amount for the Class B, Series 2 Units” shall mean, as of any date, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate value of cash or other property that has been distributed (including any distribution of cash or property made in connection with a liquidation of Adelanto Solar Funding) to Grantee at any time that any of the Class B, Series 2 Units are outstanding (the date of any such distribution, an “Adelanto Solar Funding Distribution Date”) minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all distributions of cash or other property previously made by the Partnership in respect of the Class B, Series 2 Units.  The Partnership agrees (i) to cause NEP US Holdings to cause the Grantee to promptly distribute to NEP US Holdings any amount of cash or property distributed by Adelanto Solar Funding to the Grantee and (ii) cause NEP US Holdings to promptly distribute to the Partnership the amount of cash or property distributed by the Grantee to NEP US Holdings; provided, that NEP US Holdings shall not be obligated to make such distribution to the Partnership unless and until it is permitted to do so under the terms and provisions of any NEP US Holdings Financing Documents.  Distributions of all of the Available Distribution Amount for the Class B, Series 2 Units shall be made by the General Partner to the Class B, Series 2 Limited Partners promptly following the date on which a distribution is received by the Partnership in accordance with clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence.  Such distributions shall be made pro rata among all of the Class B, Series 2 Units outstanding as of the date such distributions are made. 
The distributions on the Class B, Series 2 Units pursuant to this Amendment shall be separate from any distributions of Available Cash to the Partners in the Limited Partnership Agreement.  Further, the Available Distribution Amount for the Class B, Series 2 Units shall be calculated separately from the calculations of Available Cash, Operating Surplus, Capital Surplus and Minimum Quarterly Distribution pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement.
(e)    Allocations for Capital Account and Tax Purposes.

To the full extent permitted by Applicable Law, no reduction in the Disposition Proceeds shall be made in order to pay any other liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Partnership, which liabilities shall be paid, or provision for payment made, from the assets and properties of the Partnership other than the Disposition Proceeds.  The liquidator for the Partnership shall cause NEP US Holdings, which shall in turn cause the Grantee to sell or otherwise dispose of the Adelanto Interest or the Grantee’s interest in any of the Contributed Companies and their respective assets and properties as directed by the Class B, Series 2 Limited Partners holding  a majority of the Class B, Series 2 Units then outstanding and to cause the distribution of any and all Disposition Proceeds to occur in the same manner as the distribution of cash or property resulting from distributions paid by the Grantee as provided in subparagraph (d) of this Section 2.2.
(g)    Voting Rights.  On all matters on which Class B, Series 2 Limited Partners are entitled to vote pursuant to this Amendment or the Partnership Agreement, each Class B, Series 2 Limited Partner shall be entitled to one vote for each Unit of the Class B, Series 2 Units held by such Class B, Series 2 Limited Partner.
