to read as follows:

 

Section 2.13   Extension
for Special Investment.

 

(a)                                 If, upon an
achievement of the Commercial Operation Date on or prior to December 31,
2009, a direct or indirect investment by a non-Affiliate of Seller that intends
to utilize Production Tax Credits (“Special Investment”) is not in place and
Seller notifies Buyer in writing sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated
Commercial Operation Date that Seller has determined, after the exercise of due
and reasonable diligence, that Seller will be unable to obtain a Special
Investment on commercially reasonable terms prior to the earlier of (i) September 30,
2010 or (ii) the first anniversary of the Commercial Operation Date (the “Special
Investment Deadline”), Buyer shall purchase the Facility from Seller within
ninety (90) days following the Commercial Operation Date at a purchase price of
$2,000 (less any reductions to the purchase price for the Facility as provided
in Section 2.13(h)) per installed KW of Contract Capacity. From the
Commercial Operation Date until the Facility Purchase Date, Buyer shall pay
Seller $50.00 per MWh for all Delivered Energy (including all Delivered Excess
Energy and Delivered Guaranteed Generation) and shall make the Environmental
Attributes Payment and reimburse Seller for all Taxes and Operating Insurance
premiums as set forth in Appendix A.

 

(b)                                 If, upon an
achievement of the Commercial Operation Date on or prior to December 31,
2009, a Special Investment is not in place and Seller notifies Buyer in writing
sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated Commercial Operation Date that Seller
has determined, in its reasonable judgment, that Seller is likely to obtain a
Special Investment on commercially reasonable terms prior to the Special
Investment Deadline, Buyer shall not pay to Seller the Prepayment Amount, but
instead Buyer shall pay Seller $50.00 per MWh for all Delivered Energy
(including all Delivered Excess Energy and Delivered Guaranteed Generation) and
shall

 

3

 

make the Environmental Attributes Payment and
reimburse Seller for all Taxes and Operating Insurance premiums as set forth in
Appendix A; provided, however, that such obligation for payment for the
Delivered Energy shall terminate upon payment by the Buyer of the Prepayment
Amount or upon the purchase by the Buyer of the Facility as set forth herein
below in this Section 2.13. If, prior to the Special Investment Deadline,
the Special Investment is in place, Buyer shall (a) pay to Seller, within
ninety (90) days of Seller’s notice to Buyer that such Special Investment is in
place, the Prepayment Amount, and (b) make all other payments to Seller as
provided in Section 3.1 and Appendix A.

 

(c)                                  If, under
paragraph (b) above, the Special Investment is not in place prior to the
Special Investment Deadline, then Buyer shall purchase the Facility from the
Seller within ninety (90) days following the Special Investment Deadline at a
purchase price of $2,000 (less any reductions to the purchase price for the
Facility as provided in Section 2.13(h)) per installed KW of Contract
Capacity. Prior to such date of purchase, Buyer shall pay Seller $50.00 per MWh
for all Delivered Energy (including all Delivered Excess Energy and Delivered
Guaranteed Generation) and shall make the Environmental Attributes Payment and
reimburse Seller for all Taxes and Operating Insurance premiums as set forth in
Appendix A.

 

(d)                                 If the
Commercial Operation Date does not occur by December 31, 2009, but occurs
prior to any default under Section 11.1(e) arising from a failure to
achieve the Commercial Operation Date, then Buyer shall purchase the Facility
from the Seller within ninety (90) days following the Commercial Operation Date
at a purchase price of $1900 (less any reductions to the purchase price for the
Facility as provided in Section 2.13(h)) per installed KW of Contract
Capacity. From the Commercial Operation Date until the Facility Purchase Date,
Buyer shall pay Seller $50.00 per MWh for all Delivered Energy (including all
Delivered Excess Energy and Delivered Guaranteed Generation) and shall make the
Environmental Attributes Payment and reimburse Seller for all Taxes and
Operating Insurance

 

4

 

premiums as set forth in
Appendix A.

 

(e)                                  Seller shall
proceed with due and reasonable diligence to obtain a Special Investment on
commercially reasonable terms on or before the Special Investment Deadline, and
shall provide to Buyer in a monthly report to Buyer an explanation of the
progress made by Seller to obtain the Special Investment.

 

(f)                                    The obligation
of Buyer to purchase the Facility under this Section 2.13 will be subject
only to the conditions set forth in Section 2.5(j) of the Agreement
and the following additional conditions:

 

(i)                                     an independent
engineer engaged by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Seller (the “Independent
Engineer”) shall have confirmed that Commercial Operation has occurred with
respect to the Facility;

 

(ii)                                  Seller is not in
Default under the Agreement, except for any Default which would not reasonably
be expected to adversely affect Buyer as a result of its purchase, ownership or
operation of the Facility or the sale or use of Energy or Environmental
Attributes thereof, Seller shall have complied with Sections 7.2 and 7.3 and
shall have assigned to Buyer all warranty rights and claims under turbine
purchase agreements and construction and equipment purchase contracts, and
Seller shall be deemed to give the “warranty and guarantee” as set forth in the
second sentence of Section 7.1 of the Agreement, with the understanding
that Seller does not thereby and is not required thereby, to warrant or
guarantee any circumstance which is a casualty addressed by Section 2.13(f)(iv) or
which has resulted in a warranty claim against the manufacturer or a
contractor, with the understanding that if any such warranty claim is
outstanding, the repair costs and attendant Energy loss will be covered by
Repair Assurances in the same manner as if such warranty claim were a
casualty,, as described in Section 2.13(f)(iv);

 

5

 

(iii)                               the Facility
Lender shall release or shall have released its lien or liens, if any, on the
Facility and its security interests, if any, pertaining to the Agreement;

 

(iv)                              no condemnation
shall be pending or threatened with respect to the Facility, or any portion
thereof material to the ownership or operation of the Facility, and no
unrepaired casualty shall exist with respect to the Facility or any portion
thereof material to the ownership or operation of the Facility, unless, (A) in
the opinion of the Independent Engineer, such casualty is capable of repair in
a reasonably satisfactory time-frame (the “Casualty”),  (B) the
Independent Engineer delivers to Buyer and Seller the Independent Engineer’s
estimate of the date by which all repair work relating to the Casualty will be
completed (the “Repair Deadline”),  and
(C) the Seller shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Buyer a
perfected first lien on and priority security interest in the Transmission Line
(exclusive of the Facility Transmission Line Interests and the next 100 MW of
capacity of the Transmission Line for any future projects between Seller and/or
its Affiliates and Buyer and/or any of its members) pursuant to a deed of trust
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the “Transmission Line
Deed of Trust”), as security for the performance of repair of the Casualty by
Seller and payment by Seller of the cost thereof and indemnification of Buyer
by Seller for the cost thereof, as well as the payment by Seller to Buyer of
the value of the Energy lost by Buyer as a result of such Casualty, all as
hereinafter in this Section 2.13(f) (iv) set forth; provided that
the Transmission Line Deed of Trust shall not be assigned or transferred
without the prior written consent of the Seller.

 

Anything in the Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, Seller shall retain all applicable warranty rights and
insurance claims relating to the Casualty, and Seller shall be responsible for
the satisfactory completion of the repair of the Casualty (as determined by the
Independent Engineer) and the payment of the cost of such repair by a date that
is no later than the Seller Repair Sunset Date

 

6

 

(as hereinafter defined). In the event that
Seller shall not complete the repair of the Casualty as provided in the next
preceding sentence, Buyer will proceed with such repair and shall be entitled
under the Transmission Line Deed of Trust to take action, whether judicial or
non-judicial, to foreclose upon and sell the Transmission Line interests held
thereunder as security, or take a deed in lieu of foreclosure thereof. The
proceeds of such foreclosure sale shall be applied to the costs of the
performance of the obligations secured by the Transmission Line Deed of Trust,
including related costs and expenses and, upon the termination and release of
the Transmission Line Deed of Trust as hereinafter in this Section 2.13(f)(iv) provided,
all remaining proceeds, if any, shall be refunded to Seller.

 

Upon the Independent Engineer’s determination
of the satisfactory repair of the Casualty (whether by Seller not later than
the Seller Repair Sunset Date or, in the event Seller shall not complete the
repair by the Seller Repair Sunset Date, by Buyer thereafter), the Independent
Engineer shall calculate the amount of Energy valued at $56 per MWh that Buyer
lost as a result of the Casualty for the period from the date of the Facility
purchase through the date of the repair of the Casualty (the “Lost Energy
Amount”) and shall notify Seller and Buyer of such calculation. Within thirty
(30) days after receipt of such notice, based on such calculation, Seller shall
pay the Lost Energy Amount to Buyer; provided, however, that in the event that
Seller shall fail to pay Buyer the Lost Energy Amount, Buyer shall be entitled
under the Transmission Line Deed of Trust to take action, whether judicial or
non-judicial, to foreclose upon and sell the Transmission Line interests held
thereunder as security, or take a deed in lieu of foreclosure, thereof, or if
Buyer shall have previously foreclosed on such Transmission Line interests as
above provided in this Section 2.13(f)(iv), to apply proceeds of such
foreclosure sale to the payment to Buyer of the Lost Energy Amount. Upon
payment to Buyer of the Lost Energy Amount as provided hereunder, Buyer shall
terminate and release or cause the termination and release of

 

7

 

the Transmission Line Deed of Trust and, in
the event that a foreclosure sale shall have taken place, all remaining
proceeds of such foreclosure sale, if any, shall be refunded to Seller.

 

“Seller
Repair Sunset Date” means the date that is ninety (90) days after the
Repair Deadline; provided that such Repair Deadline shall be extended one or
more times by the Independent Engineer following a request by Seller no later
than the Repair Deadline (or any subsequent extension thereof as determined by
the Independent Engineer), if the Independent Engineer shall reasonably
determine that Seller’s inability to meet the Repair Deadline (or any such
subsequent extension thereof) was beyond the reasonable control of Seller and
not the result of Seller’s negligence. The Independent Engineer shall be
required to make such a determination prior to the Repair Deadline (and any
subsequent extension thereof) provided that Seller makes a timely request for
such determination.

 

Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to
the contrary, the terms and conditions contained in this Section 2.13(f)(iv) shall
survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement

 

(v)                                 Buyer shall
have received incumbency certificates, secretary certificates, good standing
certificates, resolutions and formation documents of Seller as are customary
for transactions of this type, each of which is reasonably satisfactory to
Buyer;

 

(vi)                              Buyer shall
have received a customary legal opinion in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Buyer;

 

(vii)                           Buyer shall
have received a final ALTA as-built survey, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Buyer, of the real property interests in the Facility Premises
prepared by an independent licensed surveyor, that is warranted by Seller as
accurate as of the Facility Purchase Date;

 

(viii)                        Buyer shall
have received a fully paid policy or policies of title insurance in favor of
Buyer as to the Facility Premises that is

 

8

 

reasonably satisfactory to
Buyer; and

 

(ix)                                Buyer shall
have received an estoppel certificate from each landowner, other than USBLM or
any agency of the State of Utah, under the Leases and Property Agreements in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and Buyer shall have
received evidence to its reasonable satisfaction that estoppel certificates are
not available from the USBLM or any such agency of the State of Utah, and Buyer
shall be reasonably satisfied that Seller is in material compliance with the
Leases and Property Agreements of Seller with USBLM and the State of Utah.

 

(x)                                   There shall be
no third party liabilities with respect to the Facility that are payable by
Seller the payment of which which has not been settled pursuant to Section 2.5(j)(3) of
the Agreement, and no amounts shall be payable by Seller to Buyer under the
Agreement.

 

(g)                                The failure by
Buyer to purchase the Facility or to pay the Prepayment Amount as set forth in
this section shall be considered to be a payment default under Section 11.1(a),
subject to the cure provisions set forth therein.

 

(h)                                 The purchase
price for the Facility provided in Sections 2.13(a), 2.13(c) and 2.13(d) shall
be reduced solely by (i) any amount which Buyer has expended to cure a
Seller default as provided in Section 7.4, but in no event by an amount in
excess of $5,000,000 and (ii) any amounts provided in Section 11.3(c).

ARTICLE IV

 

Section 3.1 of the PPA is amended as
follows:

 

Section 3.1(a) is amended by
revising the second sentence thereof to read as follows:

 

“Except as provided in Section 2.13
with respect to the purchase of the Facility by Buyer, on or before the

as applicable, if the Prepayment Amount is deferred as provided therein), Buyer
shall pay to Seller the Prepayment Amount set forth in Appendix I for the

year) between the date of payment of the Prepayment Amount and the end of the Delivery
Term; provided, however, that such calculation of the planned Guaranteed
Generation shall in no event be based on an amount of planned Contract Capacity
greater than 110% of the Early Completion Facility Configuration consisting of
the actual Contract Capacity installed on the Commercial Operation Date.”

ARTICLE V

 

Section 7 of the PPA is amended by
adding a new Section 7.4 to read as follows:

 

Section 7.4
Buyer Cure Rights.  The provisions
of the Credit Agreement which relate to the Buyer’s cure rights and the
enforcement thereof shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Buyer and shall provide Buyer with the right, but not the obligation, at any
time, to pay any or all amounts due from Seller thereunder and to do any other
act or thing required of Seller, in each case to cure any default of Seller
thereunder or to prevent the termination of the Credit Agreement or the
exercise of any remedy by the Facility Lenders thereunder which would preclude
Buyer from exercising its purchase option pursuant to Section 14.26, as
contemplated by Section 1.3 of the Consent and Agreement. Under the Credit
Agreement the Facility Lenders shall agree not to exercise remedies under the
Credit Agreement or any related collateral documents which would preclude Buyer
from exercising its purchase option pursuant to Section 14.26, as
contemplated by Section 1.3 of the Consent and Agreement until Buyer has
been given 30 days from its receipt of notice by the Facility Lenders of the
default by Seller to cure a monetary default and, if such default is
non-monetary, 60 days from receipt of such notice (or up to 90 days, so long as
Buyer is diligently pursuing appropriate action to cure and has made progress
toward curing such non-monetary default); and the effect of any such cure by
Buyer shall be as if Seller had cured the applicable default within the cure
period afforded Seller under the Credit Agreement, including cessation of
exercise of remedies by the Facility Lenders. Upon any payment or cure by the
Buyer relating to such a default by Seller, the amounts expended by Buyer to
provide such cure, including any defaulted payment and interest thereon and all
other payments made and expenses incurred by Buyer in providing such cure shall
be recovered by Buyer as follows: (i) in the event of the payment of the
Prepayment Amount and purchase of Delivered Energy by Buyer, from and after the
date of payment of the Prepayment Amount but subject to the provisions with respect
to Shortfall Energy under Sections 12.1 and 12.2, such amounts expended to
provide such cure shall be applied in reduction of the Excess Energy Price
payable by Buyer for Excess Energy as provided under Section 3.1, or (ii) in
the event of the purchase of the Facility by Buyer under Section 2.13 or Section 11.2(e)(ii),
the purchase price shall be reduced by such amounts expended to provide such
cure, subject, however, in the case of a purchase under Section 2.13, to
the provisions of Section 2.13(h). For purposes of exercising and
enforcing its cure rights as set forth in this Section 7.4 and in the
Credit Agreement, Buyer shall be an express third party beneficiary of the
applicable provisions under the Credit Agreement. No action of Buyer taken
pursuant to the exercise of its rights as provided in this Section 7.4
shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right accruing to Buyer on account of the
occurrence of any matter which constitutes a default or a breach of Seller’s
obligations under the Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

 

Section 11.2 of the PPA is amended by
adding a new paragraph 11.2(e) to read as follows:

 

(e)           In addition to any rights Buyer may have under Section 11.2(d),
Buyer shall have the option to purchase the Facility within six (6) months
after the date Buyer delivers a termination notice following a default by
Seller under Section 11.1(e) at the fair market value of the
Facility, provided, however, that the purchase price shall not be less than the
greater of (i) the Facility Debt at the date of the purchase of the
Facility or (ii) $1900 (less any reductions to the purchase price for the
Facility as provided in the Agreement), per KW of installed Contract Capacity.
The fair market value of the Facility will be based on the amount that would be
received in an arms-length transaction between an informed and willing buyer
and an informed and willing seller, under no compulsion, respectively, to buy
or sell such interest and would be determined by a single qualified appraiser
selected by the Parties. Seller shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts
to satisfy the conditions set forth pursuant to Section 2.13(f), which
shall apply to such purchase and sale unless waived by Buyer. In the event that
Buyer exercises its option to purchase the Facility under this paragraph, the
Agreement shall terminate without further liability to either Party.

Section 11.3(a) is
amended to read as follows:

 

(a)           If Seller fails to achieve the Commercial Operation

2009, except to the extent due to a Force Majeure event, but shall achieve the
Commercial Operation Date prior to any default under Section 11.1(e) arising
from a failure to achieve the Commercial Operation Date, Seller shall pay liquidated
damages to Buyer in an amount equal to $40,000/day for each day of delay after December 31,
2009 (or such later date due to a Force Majeure event as aforesaid) provided
that the maximum liability of Seller under this Section 11.3(b) shall
not exceed $7.2 million.

 

A new Section 11.3 (c) shall be
added to read as follows:

 

(c)           In the event that the Commercial Operation Date
occurs after March 31, 2009, the Prepayment Amount, or, in the event Buyer
shall purchase the Facility from Seller, the purchase price for the Facility,
shall be reduced by the liquidated damages that would have been due pursuant to
Section 11.3(a) if the deadline in that section for the Seller to
achieve Commercial Operation (except to the extent due to a Force Majeure
event) had been March 31, 2009 instead of June 30, 2009; provided
that the period for which liquidated damages is calculated for purposes of this
Section 11.3(c) shall not extend beyond June 30, 2009.

during the Agreement Term, Seller may secure its obligations under the Credit
Agreement by granting a lien on and security interest in and to the Facility
under a deed of trust and related documents which shall include an assignment
of Seller’s rights and interests under the Agreement; provided that such deed
of trust and related documents shall be subject to, and Seller, Buyer and the
Facility Lenders shall enter into and comply with, the terms and provisions of
a Consent and Agreement in substantially the form set forth in Appendix K to
the Agreement and attached to this Amendment.

ARTICLE X

 

A new Section 14.26
shall be added to the Power Purchase Agreement to read as follows:

 

Section 14.26.      Buyer’s
Option to Purchase in Lieu of Foreclosure.  
In the event of any default by Seller under the Credit Agreement that
has not been cured and upon receipt by Buyer of a Foreclosure Notice (as
defined in the Consent and Agreement), Buyer shall have the right, at its
option, to purchase the Facility from Seller in lieu of foreclosure as set
forth in this Section 14.26. In the event that Buyer furnishes written
notice to Seller with a copy to the Facility Lenders within 60 days following
Buyer’s receipt of such Foreclosure Notice that it will exercise its option to
purchase the Facility and setting forth the date of such purchase (which shall
be within 90 days following the date of such Foreclosure Notice), Buyer shall
purchase the Facility from Seller as hereinafter provided. In the case of such
purchase of the Facility, Buyer shall furnish Seller with at least 15 days
written notice of the date of purchase and furnish a copy of such notice to the
Facility Lenders. The purchase price of the Facility shall be paid by the Buyer
to the account designated by the Facility Lenders and shall be equal to the
amount of the Facility Debt. Seller shall exercise commercially reasonable
efforts to satisfy the conditions set forth pursuant to Section 2.13(f),
which shall apply to such purchase and sale unless waived by Buyer. Seller
agrees and expressly represents and warrants to Buyer that its rights to sell
the Facility to Buyer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.26
do not and will not conflict with and are permitted by the Credit Agreement and
the deed of trust and related agreements and documents securing Seller’s
performance under the Credit Agreement.

(a)           Term Loan Commitment Fees.
The Term Loan Commitment Fee shall be (i) paid in arrears
by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender pro rata, on each Quarterly Date during the Term Loan

18

 

(b)           Interest Provisions.

 

(i)           The Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders interest on the unpaid
balance of all Loans until the Maturity Date, at the following rate per annum (x) the
LIBO Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin,
or (y) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Interest with
respect to LIBO Rate Loans shall be payable on the basis of a year of 360 days
for the actual number of days elapsed and interest with respect to Base Rate Loans
shall be payable on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of
days elapsed. Following the receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of
the occurrence of an Event of Default and as long as such Event of Default is
continuing, the interest payable by the Borrower on all Loans then outstanding
will be equal to the Default Rate.

 

(ii)           All interest accrued
pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i) shall be due and payable to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as follows: (A) with
respect to the LIBO Rate Loans: (i) at the end of each LIBO Rate Interest
Period and (ii) on the Maturity Date, and (B) with respect to the
Base Rate Loans: (i) on each Quarterly Date and (ii) on the Maturity
Date.

 

(iii)            The Borrower shall have the
right, upon delivery of a three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice
thereof to the Lender, to convert Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type
or to continue Loans of the same Type, subject to Section 2.2(c), provided,
however, that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Lender may suspend the Borrower’s right to borrow any
LIBO Rate Loans, to convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBO Rate Loan and/or to
continue any LIBO Rate Loans, and all LIBO Rate Loans then outstanding shall be
automatically converted (on the last day of each respective LIBO Rate Interest
Period) into Base Rate Loans.

 

(c)           Yield Protection.

 

(i)            If, on or before the first
day of any LIBO Rate Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Loan, any Lender determines
that (A) the LIBO Rate for such LIBO Rate Interest Period cannot be
adequately and reasonably determined due to the unavailability of funds in, or
other circumstances affecting, the London interbank market, (B) the LIBO
Rate for such Loans does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making
or maintaining the Loans to such Lender, or (C) deposits in Dollars in the
London interbank market are not available to such Lender in the ordinary course
of business in sufficient amounts to make such LIBO Rate Loans, then, upon the
delivery of a written notice describing such conditions to the Borrower, the
Borrower shall convert such Loans held by such Lender to Base Rate Loans on the
last day of the then current LIBO Rate Interest Period.

 

(ii)           If, after the date of this
Note, the adoption or change in any applicable law or a change in the
application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance
with the terms of such applicable law or as a result of an amendment) makes it
illegal or unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBO

 

19

 

Rate
Loan, then, upon the delivery of a written notice describing such conditions to
the Borrower, (A) the Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s
obligation to make, any LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended for as long as such
condition remains in effect, and (B) in the event such Lender notifies the
Borrower that such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such
LIBO Rate Loans, the Borrower shall, at the request of such Lender, at the end of the then current LIBO
Rate Interest Period, convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans.

 

(iii)          If, after the date of this
Note, any change in laws applicable to any Lender (A) subjects such Lender
to any tax, duty or other charges with respect to Loans or changes the basis of
taxation with respect to repayment of the Loans (other than taxes, duties or
other charges or changes in the basis of taxation on the overall net income of
such Lender), (B) imposes any additional reserve, special deposit or other
similar requirements for reserves held by the Lender with respect to the Loans
(without duplication of any requirement under Section 2.2(c)(iii)(C)),
(C) affects the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Lender
with respect to the Loans or Commitments, or (D) otherwise increases the
cost to such Lender of making, renewing and maintaining any Loan or any
Commitment, then the Borrower shall, from time to time, upon demand of such
Lender (accompanied by a certificate from such Lender setting forth in
reasonable detail the incurred costs), absent manifest error, pay to such
Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse or compensate such Lender for
such additional costs.

 

2.3           Maturity
Date.

 

(a)           Term
Loan. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan hereunder
shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date and shall accrue interest as set
forth in this Note.

 

(b)           North
Shore Loan. The North Shore Loan has been fully disbursed under
the Second Amended and Restated Note and, as of the date of this Note, the
outstanding principal amount is seven million two hundred thousand Dollars
($7,200,000). The outstanding amount of the North Shore Loan (including
principal, and interest, fees and expenses in respect of the North Shore Loan)
is due and payable on the North Shore Loan Maturity Date.

 

2.4
          Borrowing Notice. To request a
Loan, the Borrower shall submit a completed Borrowing Notice and all documents
required as conditions precedent pursuant to Section 3 hereof by
12:00 noon New York time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date
of borrowing of such Loan, unless a shorter period is otherwise agreed to by
the Administrative Agent.

 

2.5           Prepayments.

 

(a)           Optional. The Borrower
shall have the right to make optional prepayments of the outstanding principal
of the Loan at any time and in any amount to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender, subject to the following:

 

20

 

(i)            the amount of
any prepayment made to satisfy the conditions of the Release Event shall be
applied on a pro rata basis to the outstanding Corresponding Term Loans as of
the date of such prepayment; and

 

(ii)           the North Shore
Loan may only be prepaid in full and not in part.

 

The Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent notice of any such optional prepayment by 12:00 noon New
York time on the Business Day prior to the date of such proposed prepayment
(which date shall be a Business Day); provided, that if such date
specified in such notice as the prepayment date is not the Interest Payment
Date for any such LIBO Rate Loans to be prepaid, the Borrower shall be
obligated to pay any and all breakage fees or costs incurred by the Administrative
Agent in connection with any such optional prepayment upon receiving a demand
from the Administrative Agent (accompanied by a certificate from the
Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail such breakage fees and
costs), which shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Unless otherwise
provided in this Section 2.5(a), prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) shall
be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest of the North Shore Loan, second
to the outstanding principal of the North Shore Loan, third to the accrued and
unpaid interest of the Term Loans and fourth to the principal of the Term
Loans. The principal amounts prepaid under this Section 2.5 may not
be reborrowed.

 

(b)           Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(i)            [Reserved.]

 

(ii)           Quarterly Top-Up. Within five (5) Business
Days after each Top-Up Date occurring on or after December 15, 2009, the
Borrower shall prepay Loans in an amount equal to the portion of the Net Top-Up
Amount (if such amount is positive) as of such Top-Up Date. The Top-Up Schedule
shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent five (5) Business Days
prior to the Top-Up Date. The amount of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.5(b)(ii) shall
be allocated to the respective Corresponding Term Loans for the relevant
Turbines unless the total amount of such prepayments being made such date is
less than the Net Top-Up Amount, in which case the amount of such prepayment
shall be applied to the outstanding Corresponding Term Loans in such manner
as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine.
The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice of how each
prepayment under this Section 2.5(b)(ii) was applied to the
outstanding Corresponding Term Loans in respect of each Turbine.

 

(iii)          Turbine Transfers. In the event
that any Turbine is Transferred or erected at any Project, the Corresponding
Term Loans applicable to such Turbine shall become immediately due and payable,
together with all interest and fees thereon.

 

(iv)         [Intentionally
Omitted]

 

(v)          Application of Payments. Prepayments
made pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) shall be applied first,
to accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the applicable Term Loan, and
second, to the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Term Loan
otherwise payable on the applicable Maturity Date. For the avoidance of

 

21

 

doubt,
proceeds of any financing in connection with Turbines supplied under the
Turbine Supply Documents shall be used to prepay the Term Loans under this Section 2.5(b).

 

2.6           Scheduling
of Payments. The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to
record the date and amount of the Loans made by each Lender and of each
repayment or prepayment of principal thereunder, and the Borrower agrees that all
such notations shall constitute prima facie
evidence of the matters noted in the absence of manifest error. No failure to make any
such notations, nor any errors in making any such notations, shall affect the
validity of the Borrower’s obligations to repay the full unpaid principal amount
of the Loan.

 

2.7           Extension
of Interest Periods. Upon the expiration of an Interest Period on any
Loan, the Borrower may extend such Interest Period by giving the Administrative
Agent a Notice of Extension at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to
such extension, which shall include an option to elect a different
Interest Period duration. If the Borrower fails to give timely notice of an
election to continue such Loan, such Loan shall be continued automatically for
an Interest Period of one month’s duration at the end of the applicable
Interest Period with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Note, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or elect to continue,
any Loan if the Interest Period requested would end after the applicable
Maturity Date.

 

2.8           [Intentionally
Omitted]

 

2.9           Withholding
Certificates. The Administrative Agent, on the Original Effective
Date, and each Lender, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, and each Person to
which any Lender grants a participation (or otherwise transfers its interest in
this Note), agrees that it will deliver, as soon as commercially practicable,
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent
agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower) (i) in the case of the
Administrative Agent, Form W-8IMY (together with any withholding statement
required by applicable law) in respect of amounts to be received for or on
account of the Lenders and Form W-8ECI in respect of amounts to be
received for its own account; (ii) in the case of a Lender or Person that
is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code),
a copy of a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W 9; or (iii) in
the case of a Lender or Person that is not a United States person, a duly
completed and executed letter in the form of Exhibit C-l, Exhibit C-2
or Exhibit C-3 (Forms of “Withholding Certificate (Treaty)”,
“Withholding Certificate (Effectively Connected)” and “Withholding
Certificate (Portfolio Interest)”) as appropriate, and two duly
completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each
case that the Administrative Agent or Lender is entitled to receive payments
under this Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal
income or withholding taxes and including, in each case, a U.S. taxpayer
identification number (“TIN”) if required by such form or otherwise
necessary to obtain the benefits being claimed. Each Lender which delivers to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant
to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and to
the Administrative Agent further copies of said letter and Form W-8BEN or
W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification or
procedure, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form
expires or becomes obsolete or within a reasonable time after gaining

 

22

 

knowledge of the occurrence
of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter and forms previously
delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and such
extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or
W-8ECI that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Note and
the other Basic Documents without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income or withholding taxes, unless in any such cases an event (including any
change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which
any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms
inapplicable or which would prevent a Lender from duly completing and
delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such Lender
advises the Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any
deduction or withholding of United States federal income or withholding tax. In
the event that any Lender fails or is unable to satisfy the provisions of this Section 2.9,
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender shall cooperate
to find another Person to be substituted for such Lender in the
manner provided in Section 10 hereof.

Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender as of the
date hereof that:

 

(a)           It is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite power and authority to
carry on its business as now conducted. 
It has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to (i) execute

(b)           The execution and delivery
by it of each Basic Document and of each Turbine Supply Document to which it is
a party and the performance by it of all of its obligations hereunder and
thereunder: (i) will not violate or be in conflict with any term or
provision of (A) any applicable law (including, without limitation, any
applicable usury or similar laws), or (B) any judgment, order, writ,
injunction, decree or consent of any court or other judicial authority
applicable to it or its property; (ii) will not violate, be in conflict or
inconsistent with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default (with or

that there would be a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower’s ability to
comply with its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party;
and (iii) except as specifically contemplated by the Basic Documents or
the Turbine Supply Documents, will not result in the creation or imposition of
any lien upon any of the assets and properties of the Borrower or any other Obligor.

 

(c)           Each of the Basic Documents
and the Turbine Supply Documents to which the Borrower is a party constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against it in
accordance with its respective terms and provisions, except as such

or other similar laws affecting creditors rights generally and the application
of general principles of equity.  Each
such Basic Document and the Turbine Supply Document has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Borrower.

 

(d)          No consent, approval or
authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any governmental
authority or any other Person is required for the due and valid execution,
delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Basic Documents and the Turbine

Material Adverse Effect.  The

 

26

 

Borrower is not in default
with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or consent of any
court or other judicial authority applicable to it or its property that would
result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower’s ability to comply with
its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party.

 

(f)            It has filed, or has caused to be filed
on behalf of itself, all federal, state and local tax returns that

performance of the activities contemplated by Section 5(a). Neither
the Borrower nor any Corresponding Project Company has any Indebtedness other

set forth on Schedule 8 and it is not a party to nor bound by any
material contract other than the Basic Documents and the Turbine Supply
Documents.

 

(i)            It has good
title to all of its real property and good title to all of its personal

subject to any liens or other encumbrances, other than Permitted Liens.

 

(j)            All of the
Turbine Supply Documents in effect as of the Effective Date are set forth on
Schedule 7.

 

(k)           It is in
compliance with all applicable laws, except to the extent that any
non-compliance would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Borrower’s
knowledge, there are no facts or circumstances that could reasonably be
expected to constitute a material violation of any applicable environmental
law, or give rise to any material claim, thereunder with respect to the
Borrower or the Turbines that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(l)            Neither the
Borrower nor any Corresponding Project Company is in violation of any
environmental law with respect to the relevant proposed project site for which
the Turbines may be delivered or has any liability under applicable
environmental law with respect to such relevant project site that in each case
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
claims or investigations pending, or to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened by
any Governmental Authority of or against the Borrower and/or any Corresponding
Project Company under any applicable environmental law that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Borrower,
none of the

 

27

 

Borrower
and/or any Corresponding Project Company or any subcontractor of any such
Person has used, released, discharged, generated, manufactured, stored or
disposed of any hazardous substances in, on or under the relevant proposed
project site for which the Turbines may be delivered that that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

nor any Corresponding Project Company is subject to regulation under the

(n)           The Borrower is not
an investment company or a company controlled by an investment company within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(o)           To its knowledge, it
has provided to the Administrative Agent no written information in respect of
this Note or any other Basic Document, which contains a material misstatement
of fact or that omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, in each case when such information is taken as a whole; provided,
that with respect to projected financial information (the “Projections”),
the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith
based upon reasonable assumptions at the time the Projections were prepared and
delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Projections are not to be viewed

First Wind Holdings and their respective subsidiaries, as of the end of and for
such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form of the figures for
the previous fiscal year, all reported on by an independent public accountant
of recognized national standing (in respect of all time periods subsequent to
the year ending December 31, 2009, without a “going concern” or like
qualification or exception and without any qualification or exception as to the
scope of such audit) to the effect that such consolidated financial statements
present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of
income, operations and cash flows of the Borrower, First Wind Holdings and
their respective subsidiaries, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

 

(s)           Quarterly

statements of income, operations and cash flows of the Borrower, First Wind
Holdings and their respective subsidiaries, for such period and for the period
from the beginning of the respective fiscal year to the end of such period, and
the related consolidated balance sheet at the end of such period, setting forth
in each case in comparative form the corresponding figures for the
corresponding period in the preceding fiscal year accompanied by a certificate
of an authorized officer of the Borrower and First Wind Holdings,
respectively, which certificate shall state that such financial condition and
results of income, operations and cash flows of the Borrower, First Wind
Holdings and their respective subsidiaries, were prepared in accordance with

mortgage on the North Shore Parcel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent, (b) deliver to the Administrative Agent a
Title Policy issued by the Title Company and dated as of the date on which the
mortgage is delivered pursuant to Section 5(t)(a) above. The Title
Policy shall (i) provide coverage in an amount equal to 100%
of the North Shore Loan, (ii) insure the Administrative Agent that
the mortgage creates a valid, first priority lien on the North Shore Parcel,
free and clear of all exceptions from coverage other than Permitted Liens and
standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage (as modified by the terms of
any endorsements), (iii) contain the endorsements and affirmative
coverages as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to the extent
available in Hawaii, and (iv) name the Administrative Agent as the

required by the Title Company, of the real property compromising part of the
North Shore Parcel. The Surveyors seal shall be affixed to the survey.

 

(u)          Taxes.
The Borrower shall pay, and shall cause each Corresponding Project Company to
pay, all taxes that such Person is required to pay to the extent due; provided,
however, that the Borrower and each Corresponding Project Company, as
applicable, shall not be obligated to pay such taxes to the extent any of them
is contesting the validity or amount of any such tax by appropriate proceedings
as long as such Person has established adequate reserves for the payment
thereof as and to the extent required by GAAP.

 

(v)          [Intentionally Omitted]

 

(w)          Warranties.
The Borrower shall cause each Corresponding Project Company to obtain and
maintain extended warranties under the Turbine Supply Documents for all
Turbines with a duration of not less than 24 months from the expected COD for
such Turbines, so long as such warranty coverage is available on commercially
reasonable terms, or, if not available on commercially reasonable terms,
warranties for such lesser period as are

 

34

 

obtainable
on commercially reasonable terms. Any Turbine for which the warranty coverage
falls below 24 months from the expected COD for such Turbine shall be
reappraised in accordance with the Appraisal Procedures (a copy of which
appraisal shall be promptly provided to the Borrower by the Administrative
Agent), taking into account the diminished value resulting from such lessened
warranty coverage, and the Corresponding Term Loan for such Turbine shall be
subject to mandatory prepayment on the subsequent Top-Up Date based on such
reappraisal pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i), if applicable.

 

(x)           Turbines.
The Borrower shall not Transfer any Turbines or any of its rights or interests
in or under any Turbine Supply Documents to any Person, other than: (i) to

this Section 5(x), to an Eligible Qualified Project Company or a
Qualified Project Company, and then only upon a prepayment of the Corresponding
Term Loans as contemplated by Section 2.5(b)(ii), or (iii) to
a third party, but only upon the prepayment in full of the Corresponding Term
Loans as contemplated by Section 2.5(b)(ii); provided, in
any event, that such allowed Transfer of Turbines with respect to any Project
or Turbine Supply Document must include all of the Turbines associated with
such Project or Turbine Supply Document, as applicable, and prepayment of all
Corresponding Term Loans for such Turbines. The Borrower shall not, and shall
not allow any Corresponding Project Company to, erect, install, assemble,
remove from storage or project sites, transport (provided that transportation
of the Turbine from the manufacturer to a project site is expressly permitted)
or take any other actions or fail to take any action that would reasonably be
likely to reduce the value or marketability of any such Turbines financed under
the Loan (including storage of Turbines in any material manner or for any
period that would reasonably be likely to result in a material loss or
diminishment of such Turbine’s warranty) at any project site (including a
project site of any Affiliate of the Borrower) or that could materially impair
the lien of the Security Agreements.

 

(y)           Interest
Rate Protection Agreements. The Borrower shall perform each of its
obligations under Interest Rate Protection Agreements to which it is a party,
except, in the case solely of obligations other than for payment of money, if
such failure perform such non-payment obligations under such Interest Rate
Protection Agreements would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

(z)           Non-Revenue EQP Documents.
The Borrower shall not (and shall cause each Corresponding Project
Company not to), without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,
(i) enter into any new Non-Revenue EQP Document that causes the Borrower
or such Corresponding Project Company, as applicable, to have $15,000,000 or more of increased exposure
over the life of such new contract, or (ii) amend, supplement or modify in
any material respect, or enter into any material amendment, supplement or
modification to, any Non-Revenue EQP Document to which it is a party, that
causes the Borrower or such Corresponding Project Company, as applicable, to
have $3,000,000 or more of
increased exposure over the life of such amendment, supplement or modification,
as applicable. The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent promptly
after execution thereof by the Borrower or any Corresponding Project Company,
as applicable, with copies of each Non-Revenue EQP Document and any amendment
or other modification or waiver of compliance with any Non-Revenue EQP
Document.

 

35

 

(aa)         Qualified Project
Determination. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a periodic desktop fatal flaw review (each, a “Project Review”)
for all Eligible Qualified Projects from time to time as and when the Borrower
desires to designate an Eligible Qualified Project as a Qualified Project (as
defined below); provided, that the Oakfield Project and Rollins Project
or the Stetson II Project and Rollins Project (and no others) may be submitted
together for consideration as a single Qualified Project; provided, further,
that upon any such combined submission, the Rollins Project may not subsequently
be re-submitted with the Oakfield Project (if it was submitted previously with
the Stetson II Project) or the Stetson II Project (if it was submitted
previously with the Oakfield Project); provided, further, that if
submitted together, the subsequent financing of either the Oakfield Project or
the Rollins Project separately resulting in the repayment in full of its
respective Corresponding Term Loans and the release of the Corresponding
Project Company hereunder, the remaining Project must be re-submitted by
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for consideration as a Qualified
Project. Until receipt of such Project Reviews with respect to any Eligible
Qualified Project and determination by the Administrative Agent that a Project
is a Qualified Project, on each Top-Up Date, the Reduced Advance
Rate shall be applied for Turbines allocated to such Eligible Qualified Project

 

(i)           a written review by
the Independent Engineer including, but not limited to, a confirmation of the
potential viability, from a wind and technology point of view, of the wind
electrical generating project proposed by the Borrower to be a Qualified
Project (it being agreed that if a third-party desktop wind analysis has not
been completed, or if such analysis has been prepared in respect of a
different turbine layout, then the Independent Engineer may utilize the
Borrower’s internal wind analysis in connection with the preparation of the written review
hereunder. To the extent, however, that a third-party desktop wind analysis has
been prepared for a Project site, such analysis must be presented to the
Independent Engineer in conjunction with the Borrower’s internal wind study;

 

(ii)          a pro-forma cash flow
forecast demonstrating to the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction
that such proposed wind electrical generating project is economically viable;

 

(iii)         a detailed report
setting forth the proposed real estate plan for the wind electrical generating
project proposed by the Borrower to be a Qualified Project; and

 

(iv)         a detailed report as
to the permitting and interconnection plan for the wind electrical generating
project proposed by the Borrower to be reviewed hereunder.

 

If the Project Review demonstrates to the Majority Lenders’ and the
Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction (in consultation with the
Independent Engineer) that such Eligible Qualified Project could (x) reasonably
achieve construction completion (taking into account the likelihood of such
Project obtaining adequate construction financing but not taking into account any adverse
effect thereon associated with Clipper being the manufacturer of Turbines
included in such Project), qualify for PTCs and begin selling power at least
sixty (60) days prior to the then-current expiration date (the “PTC Expiration
Date”) for PTCs under the Code, (y) benefit from tax benefits similar
to or better than the PTCs then applicable, taking into account the PTC

 

36

 

Expiration
Date, or (z) is otherwise economically viable without PTC benefits, such
Project shall be deemed a Qualified Project (a “Qualified Project”).

 

The
Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Borrower within fifteen (15)
Business Days after the receipt of any Project Review of its
determination or a detailed description of the changes that the Administrative
Agent and the Majority Lenders determine are reasonably necessary for such
Eligible Qualified Project to qualify as a Qualified Project. The Borrower may
resubmit an updated Project Review for reconsideration under this Section 5(aa).
The resulting Advance Rates or Reduced Advance Rates, as the case may be, shall
apply for purposes of determining the Top-Up Amount for Top-Up Dates.

 

(bb)          Qualified
Project Status. The Borrower shall provide monthly updates to
Project Reviews and project progress updates for all Eligible Qualified
Projects, respectively, and shall (i) promptly notify Administrative Agent
of any adverse changes with respect to the most recently provided Project
Review (including any delays and project cost increases) for a Qualified
Project to the extent such Qualified Project would no longer reasonably be
expected to be a Qualified Project and (ii) promptly respond to inquiries
by the Administrative Agent as to the status of any Qualified Project
(including any potential delays and project cost increases) of each Qualified
Project. If the Administrative Agent is notified or reasonably determines that
any Qualified Project could no longer reasonably be expected to be a Qualified
Project, such project will immediately cease to be a “Qualified Project” under
the Loan and the Advance Rate, to the extent it is then in effect, shall be
automatically reduced to the applicable Reduced Advance Rate. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, promptly upon obtaining knowledge or notice
thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the
Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with written notice of any
delay in (or the occurrence of any other event with respect to) a Qualified
Project to the extent such Qualified Project would no longer reasonably be
expected to complete construction and qualify for PTCs that are necessary to
the economic viability of the Qualified Project at least sixty (60) days prior
to the PTC Expiration Date applicable to such Qualified Project. Additionally,
the Borrower shall, promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business
Days, respond to inquiries by the Administrative Agent as to the status of the
development and construction schedule (including any potential delays and
project cost increases) of each Qualified Project. If (I) the Administrative
Agent is notified pursuant to this Section 5(bb), or otherwise
reasonably determines based on consultation with the Independent Engineer, that
any Qualified Project for which PTC benefits are necessary to the economic
viability of the Project would no longer reasonably be expected to achieve
construction completion and qualify for PTCs at least sixty (60) days prior to
the PTC Expiration Date applicable to such Qualified Project, such project will
immediately cease to be a “Qualified Project” hereunder, and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of any such determination made under
this clause (I), and (II) if the Borrower disagrees with any determination
by the Administrative Agent and/or the Independent Engineer that a Qualified
Project would no longer reasonably be expected to remain a Qualified Project,
the Borrower shall promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days, notify
the Administrative Agent of such disagreement, and the parties hereby agree to
submit the issue to R.W. Beck (or such other third party engineering firm as
the Borrower and Administrative Agent may agree). If R.W. Beck (or such other
third party engineering firm as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may
agree) agrees with the determination of the Administrative Agent

 

37

 

and/or
the Independent Engineer, such determination shall stand and the applicable
Project shall no longer be a Qualified Project as of the date of the
Administrative Agent’s determination. If R.W. Beck (or such other third party
engineering firm as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree)
disagrees with the determination of the Administrative Agent and/or the
Independent Engineer, such determination shall be overturned and the applicable
project shall remain a Qualified Project. Whatever determination is made by R.W.
Beck (or such other third party engineering firm as the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent may agree) shall be final and binding as to the
parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Section 5(bb).
R.W. Beck (or such other third party engineering firm as the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent may agree) shall have thirty (30) days to make its
determination as to whether the applicable project is or is not a Qualified
Project from the date R.W. Beck (or such other third party engineering firm as
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) is retained to make such
determination; provided, however, that to the extent that R.W.
Beck (or such other third party engineering firm as the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent may agree) is unable to make a determination as set
forth in this Section 5(bb) within such thirty (30) day period, the
determination of the Administrative Agent and/or the Independent Engineer shall
stand and the applicable project shall no longer be a Qualified Project (unless
reinstated as a Qualified Project pursuant to resubmission thereof (which may

Turbine Supply Documents, the Borrower may request a reallocation of any
Turbine to any specified Eligible Qualified Project, Qualified Project or other
single purpose project company owned directly or indirectly by the Borrower
(which project shall become an Eligible Qualified Project and which project
company shall become a Corresponding Project Company hereunder), subject to the
approval of the Majority Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and upon such
approval, the Top-Up Amount Schedule shall be updated accordingly to reflect
such change. A Project shall no longer be considered an Eligible Qualified
Project or Qualified Project hereunder (and its project company shall no longer
be a Project Company or Corresponding Project Company hereunder) if it no
longer has Corresponding Term Loans hereunder. A reallocation pursuant to this Section 5(cc)
shall not be
considered a Transfer under Section 5(x).

 

(dd)         Turbine Appraisal. Prior to each
Top-Up Date, with respect to each Turbine for which Corresponding Term Loans
have been made, the Administrative Agent may instruct the Independent Appraiser
to prepare an appraisal of such Turbine (at the Borrower’s cost) in accordance
with the Appraisal Procedure; provided, that no Turbine may be the
subject of an appraisal more than once per calendar quarter under this Section 5(dd).
The appraisal shall be the basis for determining the Appraised Value of such
Turbine for all purposes of this Note. The Administrative Agent shall deliver a
copy of the appraisal and notice of the Top-Up Amount to the Borrower no fewer
than five (5) Business Days before such Top-Up Date.

 

(ee)         Compliance with Anti-Money
Laundering and OFAC Laws.

times with the requirements of all Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

any legal or beneficial interest whatsoever therein (whether directly or
indirectly) not to, conduct business with or engage in any transaction with any
person or entity named in the OFAC SDN List or any person or entity included
in, owned by, controlled by, acting for or on behalf of, providing assistance,
support, sponsorship, or services of any kind to, or otherwise associated with
any of the persons or entities referred to or described in the OFAC SDN List. 

 

(v)           If Borrower obtains actual
knowledge or receives any written notice that Borrower, any Affiliate,
Subsidiary or any person or entity holding any legal or beneficial interest
whatsoever therein (whether directly or indirectly) is named on the OFAC SDN
List (such occurrence, an “OFAC Violation”), Borrower shall immediately
(i) give written notice to Lender of such OFAC Violation, and (ii) comply with
all applicable laws with respect to such OFAC Violation (regardless of whether
the party included on the OFAC SDN List is located within the jurisdiction of
the United States of America), including the OFAC Laws, and Borrower hereby
authorizes and consents to Lender’s taking any and all steps Lender deems
necessary, in its sole discretion, to comply with all applicable laws with
respect to any such OFAC Violation, including the requirements of the OFAC Laws
(including the “freezing” and/or “blocking” of assets and reporting such action
to OFAC). Upon Lender's request from time to time, Borrower shall deliver a
certification confirming its compliance with the covenants set forth in this Section
5(ee)(v).

Obligations. It shall deliver the items listed on Schedule 10
by the dates set forth therein, each duly executed and delivered by the parties
thereto and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent. The parties acknowledge that the failure of the Borrower to deliver any
item listed on Schedule 10 shall not, in and of itself, constitute a
Material Adverse Effect. 

 

6.             Events
of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events,
conditions or circumstances shall constitute an event of default under this
Note (each, an “Event of Default”):

39

 

(b)           Any representation or
warranty made by any party (other than the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent) in any Basic Document to which it is a party, or in any
certificate furnished pursuant to any such document, shall prove to have been
incorrect in any material respect as of the date made (unless such
representation or warranty expressly relates only to an earlier date), and in

is not eliminated or addressed to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Administrative Agent within a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of notice
by such Person;

party and, in each case, such failure shall continue unremedied for a
period of thirty (30) days after receipt of notice or actual knowledge thereof by such
Person, if such failure can reasonably be remedied within such thirty (30) day
period as long as the Borrower is using diligent efforts to remedy such failure
and, in the case of breach only of the covenants set out in Sections
5(g) or 5(j), such failure shall continue unremedied for an additional
period of sixty (60) days after the conclusion of such thirty (30) day cure
period, if such failure can reasonably be remedied within such additional sixty
(60) day period as long as the Borrower is using diligent efforts to remedy
such failure;

 

(e)           FWA IV Default. Before the Release Event has occurred,
an “Event of Default” (or other similar event or condition allowing
the lenders to accelerate the relevant loans) shall have occurred under the FWA

occurred solely due to an Event of Default under the FWA IV Note, the Event of
Default hereunder shall be deemed cured automatically and concurrently with the
cure of the Event of Default under the FWA IV Note in accordance
with the terms thereof.

 

(f)            The Borrower, or (if it
would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect) any Turbine
supplier under any Turbine Supply Document, or, until the occurrence of the
Release Event, First Wind Holdings: (i) shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts as its debts become due; (ii) shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petition or apply to any tribunal
for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for its or a
substantial part of its assets; (iii) shall commence any proceeding under
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution
or liquidation; (iv) shall have had any such petition filed, or any such
proceeding shall have been commenced against it, in which an adjudication is
made or order for relief is entered or which remains undismissed for a period
of sixty (60) days; (v) shall have had a receiver, custodian or trustee
appointed for all or a substantial part of its property; or (vi) shall

acts or omissions of the Administrative Agent and subject to
Section 3(b) of the Parent Guaranty, (i) the Lenders or the
Collateral Agent, any Security Agreement shall fail to provide the Collateral
Agent with security interests in and to the Collateral intended to be created
thereby, cease to be in full force and effect, or is declared null and void and
the Borrower shall fail to execute such additional security agreements as may
be requested by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to remedy such
event; or (ii) the validity or enforceability of any Security Agreement is
contested in a legal proceeding by any party to such Security
Agreement, other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Collateral
Agent;

 

(i)            Except as
permitted under this Note, any failure by the Borrower to have good title to
all of its real property and good title to all of its personal property and
assets, which failure would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower’s
ability to comply with its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is
party;

 

(j)            The incurrence of any
liability under any applicable environmental law which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if such liability shall continue
unremedied for a period of five (5) days after receipt of notice, or
actual knowledge, thereof by the Borrower, or, if such liability cannot
reasonably be remedied within such five (5) day period but is capable of
being remedied as long as the Borrower is using diligent efforts to remedy such
liability for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of notice, or actual
knowledge thereof, by the Borrower;

 

(k)           A Change of Control shall
occur and be continuing;

 

(l)            Any permit required to be
obtained or maintained by the Borrower under any Turbine Supply Documents shall
be revoked or cancelled by the issuing governmental authority having
jurisdiction, or any such permit shall otherwise fail to be in full force and
effect, or the Borrower shall fail to comply with any such permit, in each
case, which revocation, cancellation or failure would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, and in each case, if any adverse effect of such
revocation, cancellation or failure is not remedied to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Lenders within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice
thereof by such
Person;

 

(m)          A final judgment or
judgments shall be entered against the Borrower or any Corresponding Project
Company, by a court of competent jurisdiction in an aggregate amount of not
less than $*****, other than (i) a judgment which is fully covered
by a posted bond or discharged within thirty (30) days after its entry, or
(ii) a judgment, the execution of which is effectively stayed within
thirty (30) days after its entry but only for thirty (30) days after the date
on which such stay is terminated or expires; or

 

(n)           Any Turbine Supply Documents
shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect; or any default by
the Borrower, any Corresponding Project Company or any Turbine supplier shall
occur under any Turbine Supply Document (after giving effect to all applicable
cure periods in such Turbine Supply Document) and such default would be
reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

41

 

Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of Majority Lenders), may, by
notice to the Borrower, declare the unpaid principal amount of the Loan,
accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Note due and
payable, whereupon the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable
without presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other formalities of
any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided
that in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (e) above, the
unpaid principal amount of the Loan, accrued interest and other amounts payable
under this Note shall be immediately due and payable.

 

7.             Expenses; Indemnification.

 

(a)           The Borrower agrees to
reimburse the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Collateral Agent within
thirty (30) days following demand for all documented, reasonable out-of-pocket
costs, expenses and charges including, without limitation, due diligence expenses,
travel expenses, fees and charges of legal counsel, consultants and advisors to
the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and other
expenses, in each case to the extent documented, reasonable, out-of-pocket and

applicable, in connection with (i) the negotiation, performance or
enforcement (including in any work-out, restructuring or bankruptcy proceeding)
of this Note or any other Basic Document or (ii) the defense or
prosecution of any rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
Collateral Agent hereunder. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and the
Collateral Agent shall provide reasonable support for any costs, expenses
and/or charges at the Borrower’s reasonable request and shall obtain approval
from the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) prior
to incurring any unusual and extraordinary expenses. The foregoing amounts
incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Note and the other Basic
Documents may be funded with the Loans.

 

(b)           The Borrower agrees to
indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Collateral
Agent together with its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
consultants harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities,
costs, deficiencies and documented expenses and damages, including, without
limitation, investigative costs, settlement costs and reasonable legal,
accounting or other expenses for investigating or defending against any actions
or threatened actions (collectively, the “Losses”), arising out of or in
connection with (i) the execution or delivery of each Basic Document,
including this Note, and the performance by any Person of its obligations under
such Basic Documents, (ii) the making of the Loans and (iii) the use
of the proceeds of any Loan, and any prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding related to any of the foregoing, but excluding, in
each case, any such Losses incurred by reason of bad faith, gross negligence or
willful misconduct of any Person indemnified hereunder. The Administrative
Agent, any Lender and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall promptly
notify the Borrower of any claim under this Section 7(b). The
Borrower may elect to assume the defense of any action, proceeding or dispute
with a third party in respect of which a claim is to be made under this Section 7(b);
provided, however, that if the Borrower assumes control of the
defense of any such action, proceeding or dispute, the Borrower shall not agree
or conclude any settlement that affects the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
the Collateral Agent without the prior written approval of the Administrative
Agent,

 

42

 

each
Lender or the Collateral Agent, as applicable (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld). In the event the Borrower assumes control of the
defense of any such action, proceeding or dispute, the Borrower shall not be
liable to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Collateral Agent for any
legal fees and expenses of additional counsel incurred by the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or the Collateral Agent in connection with such defense; provided,
however, that each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to employ its own counsel whose
reasonable legal fees and expenses shall be indemnified by the Borrower if
(A) there is or could reasonably be expected to be a conflict of interest
between the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable, and the Borrower in connection with the defense of such action,
proceeding or dispute, or (B) there is a specific defense available to the
Administrative Agent, each Lender or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, which
is different from or additional to those available to the Borrower, or
(C) it is reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the
Administrative Agent, each Lender or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to
the extent such interests differ from the interests of the Borrower.

 

8.             Security. The Borrower’s
obligations under this Note are secured by the Collateral.

 

9.             Governing Law; Submission to

accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflict
of laws provisions thereof other than Section 5-1401 of the New York
General Obligations Law). The Borrower agrees that any legal action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or any other Basic Document,
or any legal action or proceeding to execute or otherwise enforce any judgment
obtained against the Borrower, for breach hereof or thereof, or against any of
its properties, may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting
in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York by the Administrative Agent or on behalf of any Lender, as
the Administrative Agent may elect. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for
purposes of any such legal action or proceeding. Service of process by the
Administrative Agent in any such dispute shall be binding on the Borrower if
sent to the Borrower by registered or certified mail, at the addresses
specified on the signature page of this Note. The Borrower agrees that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in any other jurisdiction.

 

THE  PARTIES  HERETO  WAIVE  ANY RIGHT  THEY  MAY  HAVE  TO JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION  RELATED  TO THIS NOTE, ANY OTHER  BASIC DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED  HEREBY  OR THEREBY. IN ADDITION, THE BORROWER  HEREBY  IRREVOCABLY  WAIVES  TO THE FULLEST  EXTENT PERMITTED  BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY  NOW OR HEREAFTER  HAVE TO THE LAYING  OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION  OR PROCEEDING  ARISING  OUT OF OR RELATING  TO THIS  NOTE  OR ANY  OTHER BASIC  DOCUMENT  EXECUTED  IN CONNECTION  HEREWITH  OR THEREWITH  BROUGHT  IN THE  COURTS  OF THE STATE OF
NEW  YORK  OR THE UNITED  STATES  DISTRICT  COURT  FOR THE SOUTHERN  DISTRICT  OF NEW YORK, AND ANY CLAIM  THAT  ANY SUCH SUIT, 

 

43

 

ACTION  OR PROCEEDING  BROUGHT  IN ANY SUCH
COURT  HAS BEEN BROUGHT  IN AN INCONVENIENT  FORUM.

 

10.           Assignments. This Note shall
be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and their respective
successors and permitted assigns; provided, that the Borrower may not
assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Note without the prior
written approval of the Administrative Agent (with consent in writing from the
Majority Lenders); and provided, further, that the Lenders may
not assign or otherwise transfer their rights and obligations under this Note or the Loan to
any other Person without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless
(i) such assignment or transfer is to an Affiliate of any Lender or
(ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in each such case
consent of the Borrower is not necessary. Any such Person to whom any Lender
assigns its rights pursuant to this Section 10 shall then become
vested with all the rights granted to such Lender under this Note
and with respect to the Loan. Upon such assignment or transfer, such Lender
shall provide to the Borrower the name, address and contact information of the
permitted assignee or transferee.

 

11.          Appointment
of Agents.

 

(a)           Appointment, Powers and
Immunities.

 

(i)             Each Lender
hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent
hereunder and under the other Basic Documents with such powers as are
expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Note and
the other Basic Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental  thereto.   

 

(ii)           Each  Lender hereby
appoints and authorizes  the Collateral Agent to act as its agent
hereunder  and under the other Basic Documents  with such powers as are expressly
delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Note and the other Basic
Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.

 

(b)            Duties,
Responsibilities, Powers and Immunities of Agents.

 

The
Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Basic Documents to which they are party. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) each Agent shall be subject
to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty
to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other
Basic Documents that each Agent is required to exercise in writing by the
Majority Lenders or any other Agent, and (c) except as
expressly set forth herein and in the other Basic Documents, no Agent shall have any duty
to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to First Wind Holdings or any of its subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful

 

44

 

misconduct. No Agent shall
be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written
notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower, the Lenders or any other
Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or
inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with this Note or any other Basic Document, (ii) the contents
of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder
or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of this Note, any other Basic Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth
herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to any Agent.

 

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it in good faith
to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent
may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it in good faith to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel,
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of
any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

Each Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, any other
Agent, the Borrower and First Wind Holdings at least seven (7) days in
advance. Any Agent may be removed involuntarily only for a material breach of
its duties hereunder or under the other Basic Documents or for gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction only upon the affirmative vote of the Majority
Lenders (excluding such Agent from such vote and such Agent’s Loans and Commitments
from the amounts used to determine the Majority Lenders). Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor, which successor shall (unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Agent’s
resignation shall not be effective until a successor shall have been appointed
by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment. If no
successor has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is thirty (30)
days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s
resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders
shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such
time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder by a successor,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring
Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by
the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11
shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

 

45

 

12.           Miscellaneous.

 

(a)            The provisions of this Note are intended to be
severable. If for any reason any provision of this Note shall be held invalid
or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or
unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability
thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions thereof in any
jurisdiction.

 

(b)          No
amendment, modification or supplement to any provision of this Note shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower, the

after any assignment contemplated by Section 10, other holder
hereof) and, solely with respect to any amendment, modification or
supplement that would adversely affect the rights of the Collateral Agent, the
Collateral Agent (with the consent in writing of the Majority Lenders); provided,

(viii)        release
any collateral from any Lien of any Security Agreement or allow the release of
any funds from any account held under any Security Agreement except as
expressly provided in, or otherwise permitted by, the Basic Documents.

 

(c)           The waiver of any
breach of any of the provisions of this Note shall not be construed to be a
waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the same or other provisions. No
waiver of any of the provisions of this Note shall be valid or binding unless
set forth in writing and duly executed by the Person against whom enforcement
of the waiver is sought and the Majority Lenders (or the Administrative Agent
with the consent in writing of the Majority Lenders). No failure on the part of
the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in

 

46

 

exercising, any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right.

 

(d)           The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 

(e)           Unless otherwise
agreed in writing, notices shall be given to the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Borrower at their respective addresses set forth on the
signature pages to this Note. Notices under this Note shall be effective

shown by messenger receipt, (ii) when mailed to such addressee, upon
receipt of a signed confirmation from such addressee, or (iii) when sent

machine confirmation or other verifiable electronic receipt.

 

(f)            The provisions of Sections
7 and 9 of this Note shall survive the repayment of the Loan.

 

(g)           The Administrative
Agent and each Lender shall have no claims of any kind or nature with respect
to the transactions contemplated by this Note and the other Basic Documents other
than (i) claims against the Borrower or First Wind Holdings, in each case
as set forth in or pursuant to each Basic Document to which such Person,
respectively, is a party; (ii) claims against any Affiliate
of the Borrower that after the date of this Note enters into a Basic Document
as set forth in or pursuant to each Basic Document to which such Affiliate is a
party (any Person described in the foregoing clauses (i) or
(ii) shall be hereinafter referred to as a “Borrower Party”);
and (iii) claims for fraud, willful misconduct or under express
indemnities against any Person. Other than claims for fraud, willful misconduct
or under express indemnities against any Person, the Administrative Agent

Schedule 2

 

Appraisal Procedure

 

A Fair Market Value (“FMV”)
appraisal shall be performed by the Appraiser in accordance with the Appraisal
Foundation’s Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
(“USPAP”) and subject to the Appraisal Procedure described below.

 

Appraisal Procedure

 

When requested by the
Administrative Agent (but not more than once per calendar quarter), the Appraiser shall
perform a FMV appraisal of the Turbines. Although the Appraiser must consider all three
approaches to value (the Replacement Cost Approach, Sales Comparison Approach,
and Income Capitalization Approach), as required and defined under USPAP, it is
mutually acknowledged that the Income Capitalization Approach is not appropriate
in this circumstance because the Turbines and the Corresponding Project
Companies at no time constitute a cash flow-generating entity and since the wind
turbine machinery comprising the Turbines consists entirely of uninstalled
machinery and equipment that cannot be considered part of a “going concern” at the time of
the Appraisal.

 

The value of the Turbines
shall be determined as the lesser of the values produced by the Replacement
Cost Approach and the Sales Comparison Approach, assuming, in both Approaches,
payment in full and delivery of the Turbines.

 

In
performing the Replacement Cost Approach, the Appraiser shall consider only
turbines from manufacturers of comparable industry stature (“Comparable
Manufacturers”) in assessing equipment of equivalent
functional utility, with due consideration to capacity and future operational
costs. In performing the Sales Comparison Approach, the Appraiser shall only consider equipment
from Comparable Manufacturers. If, in the Appraiser’s judgment, insufficient
data exist regarding recent transactions of equipment from Comparable
Manufacturers, the Appraiser shall, in a manner consistent with formal
appraisal procedure, adjust the sales comparison indicator of value to
reflect differences between the transacted values of equipment from Comparable
Manufacturers and transacted values of equipment from other manufacturers.
The determination of Comparable Manufacturers shall be based on
industry market share and installed base, degree and
creditworthiness of warranty coverage, and the performance characteristics of
the Equipment.

 

As
part of the Reconciliation of Value Indications, the Appraiser shall report
the Value of the Equipment as a single dollar value. Although a range
of values may be referenced in the appraisal report, only the single dollar
value reported as the Equipment’s Value shall be deemed the conclusion of the
Appraisal. The single dollar value should represent the value of the most probable price
within the range of values.
