	2	Right of First Offer on Abengoa ROFO Assets 

  

	2.1	Abengoa ROFO Assets 


During the Term, Abengoa hereby grants to Yield and Yield’s Affiliates a right of first offer on any proposed Transfer of any
interest, direct or indirect, in a Contracted Asset or Development Asset owned by the Abengoa Group and located in the following primary geographies: (i) the following countries in North America: United States, Canada and Mexico; (ii) the
following countries in South America: Chile, Brazil (except for Abengoa Concessoes Brasil Holding ́s 51% interest in Linha Verde, a transmission line in Brazil, shall not be subject to the right of first offer), Peru, Uruguay and Colombia; and
(iii) the European Union. In addition, Abengoa grants to Yield and Yield’s Affiliates a right of first offer on any proposed Transfer involving any four (4) Contracted Assets located in (i) the following countries in Africa:
Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya and Ghana; (ii) the following countries in the Middle East: Israel, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman; and (iii) the following countries in Asia: Turkey, Japan,
Malaysia, Thailand, India and Australia (the “Secondary Geographies”). Each asset fulfilling the conditions in this paragraph is referred to individually as an “Abengoa ROFO Asset,” and
collectively, the “Abengoa ROFO Assets”). 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the proposed Transfer of
any interest, direct or indirect, in a Development Asset by any Investment Vehicle shall be the subject to the right of first offer and the terms and conditions provided herein. 

On July 2, 2014, Abengoa and Yield agreed in writing that the initial four (4) Abengoa ROFO Assets in Secondary Geographies are
Honaine, Skikda, Shams and SPP1. 
 The list of the four (4) Contracted Assets in Secondary Geographies considered as
Abengoa ROFO Assets will be updated to include a replacement Contracted Asset any time Yield acquires an asset or a ROFO Termination Date occurs with respect to a Contracted Asset from that list. In case the Parties do not reach an agreement of
which asset should be added to the list after 20 calendar days of such acquisition or ROFO Termination Date, Abengoa will in good faith propose three Contracted Assets in Secondary Geographies and Yield will pick one out of those three to be added
to the list. Thereafter, such added Contracted Asset will be an Abengoa ROFO Asset for all purposes hereunder. 
 Additionally,
Abengoa may offer Contracted Assets in other geographies and may offer Contracted Assets of a different nature than the Contracted Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, the right of first offer described in this Agreement does not apply to such
assets. 
 The right of first offer granted by Abengoa to Yield and Yield ́s Affiliate in this Agreement is granted in
exchange for a fee equivalent to 1% of the equity purchase price (including any shareholder loan or similar transaction) of any acquisition of an Abengoa ROFO Asset, payable to a bank account designated by Abengoa simultaneously with the closing of
each Transfer to Yield or Yield ́s Affiliates, as the case may be. 
  

	2.2	Notice of Transaction Related to Abengoa ROFO Assets and Negotiation of Definitive Terms for Transaction. 


Abengoa must deliver a written notice to Yield prior to engaging in any negotiation regarding any proposed Transfer of any Abengoa ROFO
Asset (or any portion thereof) and such notice shall include the Transfer Information (such notice, a “Transaction Notice”). If Abengoa delivers any Transaction Notice to Yield, unless Yield notifies Abengoa in writing
that it considers such information to be insufficient within 

  
  

4 








 
a maximum period of 10 Business Days from the date the Transaction Notice is delivered to Yield, then Abengoa and Yield shall enter non-binding discussions and negotiate in good faith to attempt
to agree on definitive terms acceptable to both Parties, in their sole and absolute discretion, for the Transfer of the applicable Abengoa ROFO Asset to Yield or any of its Affiliates for a period of sixty (60) days starting at the end of the
10 Business Day period referred to above without any communication from Yield indicating that the information was insufficient (the “Negotiation Period”). If the Parties have not agreed in writing by the end of
the by the end of the Negotiation Period to definitive terms for the Transfer of such Abengoa ROFO Asset to Yield, Abengoa will be able, within the next thirty (30) months beginning from the end of the Negotiation Period, to Transfer
such Abengoa ROFO Asset to a Third Party (or agree in writing to undertake such transaction with a Third Party) solely in accordance with the terms of Section 2.5. 
 If an Abengoa ROFO Asset is offered, at any time, to Yield for a second or subsequent time, the Negotiation Period shall be reduced to fifteen (15) calendar days. 

Following the lapse of the aforementioned thirty (30) month period, the Abengoa ROFO Asset that was subject to the Transaction Notice
will no longer be an Abengoa ROFO Asset. 
  

	2.3.	Negotiation Call Option. 


During the Term, Yield shall have the right and the option, at its sole discretion, to require Abengoa to negotiate in good faith for the
sale to Yield of any Abengoa ROFO Asset that has been in commercial operation for eighteen (18) months (a “Negotiation Call Option Asset”) by giving written notice (the “Negotiation Call Option Notice”)
to Abengoa with respect to any such Negotiation Call Option Asset. 
 Within twenty (20) calendar days after receiving a
Negotiation Call Option Notice, Abengoa shall deliver the Transaction Notice including the Transaction Information with respect to such Negotiation Call Option Asset according to the terms and process set forth in Section 2.2. 

 

	2.4.	Abengoa Affiliates and Investment Vehicles. 

 Abengoa shall cause any of its Affiliates and Investment Vehicles that acquire any interest in an Abengoa ROFO Asset from Abengoa or any of its other Affiliates and Investment Vehicles, other than in an
Exempt Transfer, to comply with the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and will cause such Affiliates and Investment Vehicles to give full effect to the rights of Yield and Yield ́s Affiliates hereunder. Abengoa shall not, and
shall cause its Affiliates not to, Transfer, other than to a Third Party in accordance with Section 2.5 of this Agreement, any Abengoa ROFO Asset or an asset that would become an Abengoa ROFO Asset as a result of such Transfer, unless
(i) Abengoa delivers written notice of the Transfer to Yield and (ii) the transferee accedes to this Agreement by duly executing and delivering an Accession Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Schedule I. The transferee,
Abengoa and Yield shall execute and deliver the Accession Agreement prior to the consummation of the proposed Transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, no Person that has acceded to this Agreement may, after becoming a Party to this Agreement, Transfer
an Abengoa ROFO Asset to Abengoa or an Affiliate of Abengoa pursuant to this Section 2.4. 
  

	2.5.	Negotiations with Third Parties 

 Neither Abengoa nor any of its representatives, agents, Affiliates or Investment Vehicles (excluding Yield and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, which subsidiaries shall not include any Abengoa ROFO
Asset prior to the acquisition thereof by Yield or any of its Affiliates in accordance with the terms and conditions of 

  
  

5 








 
this Agreement) shall solicit offers from, or negotiate or enter into any agreement with, any Third Party for the Transfer of any Abengoa ROFO Asset (or any portion thereof) until the expiration
of the Negotiation Period related to such Abengoa ROFO Asset and the proposed Transfer (the “ROFO Termination Date”). Yield and Abengoa agree and acknowledges that, if no agreement has been reached between Abengoa and Yield, from
and after the ROFO Termination Date for any Abengoa ROFO Asset and the applicable proposed Transfer, during a period of thirty (30) months: (a) Abengoa shall have the absolute right to solicit offers from, negotiate with, and enter into
agreements with, any Third Party to Transfer such Abengoa ROFO Asset, as long as such Transfer is on terms generally no less favorable to Abengoa than those offered to Yield pursuant to the Transaction Notice, and (b) Abengoa shall have no
further obligation to negotiate with Yield regarding, or offer Yield the opportunity to acquire any interest in, such Abengoa ROFO Asset; provided, that the final terms of the Transfer of any Abengoa ROFO Asset to any Third Party be on terms
generally no less favorable to Abengoa than those offered to Yield pursuant to the Transaction Notice.

terminated in accordance with this Section 3, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence at June 13, 2014 and shall continue in effect until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth anniversary of such

Assets through Transaction Notices.

other Party materially breaches or defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or under any transaction agreement entered into by the Parties in connection with an Abengoa ROFO Asset, and such breach or default is continuing
for 90 days after such breaching Party has been given a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder. Upon any such termination the
Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  

	3.3.	Exclusive Remedy 

 Other than
with respect to a breach or default in the performance of a Party’s indemnification obligations under Section 4, each Party’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach or default by the other Party of its obligations under this Agreement
shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.2.

6

from a source other than Abengoa, its Affiliates or their directors, officers or employees, provided, that, to Yield’s knowledge, such source was not prohibited from disclosing such information to Yield by any legal, contractual or fiduciary
duty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Yield shall be permitted to (A) disclose any Abengoa Confidential Information to the extent required by court order or under Applicable Law, (B) make a public announcement regarding such matters
(1) as agreed to in writing by Abengoa or (2) as required by the provisions of any securities laws or the requirements of any exchange on which Yield securities may be listed (a “Required Securities Disclosure”), or

provided, however, that, other than in connection with a Required Securities Disclosure, Yield shall (y) advise such Person of the confidential nature of such Abengoa Confidential Information, and (z) cause such Person to be bound by
obligations of confidentiality that are no less stringent than the obligations set forth herein. Yield shall indemnify and hold harmless the Abengoa Indemnitees for any Losses incurred by any of the Abengoa Indemnitees for a breach or default of
Yield’s obligations under this Section 4.1. This Section 4.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
