satisfied the Minimum Performance Guarantee, but has not satisfied the Performance Guarantee, Contractor, at its option, shall elect to either:

(a)    pay any applicable Performance Liquidated Damages as may be due and payable with respect to such Phase (or the PV Power Plant) and have no further obligation to try to achieve the applicable Performance Guarantee; or
(b)    continue to attempt to satisfy the applicable Performance Guarantee until the expiration of the applicable Cure Period.
Contractor shall exercise either option provided in this Section 16.6.1 by delivery of Notice to Owner not later than ten (10) days after the Phase Substantial Completion Date or PV Power Plant Substantial Completion Date, as applicable.  Notwithstanding Contractor's election of option (b) of this Section 16.6.1, upon the expiration of the applicable Cure Period, if the applicable Performance Guarantee has not been achieved, Contractor shall be deemed to have elected to have no further obligation to try to achieve the applicable Performance Guarantee.
16.6.2    Remedial Plans.  If Contractor elects to attempt to satisfy the applicable Performance Guarantee as provided in Section 16.6.1(b) after the Phase Substantial Completion Date or PV Power Plant Substantial Completion Date, as applicable, Contractor shall submit a Remedial Plan to Owner, which shall specify the corrective actions Contractor will take and the commencement date of such corrective action, for Owner's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The corrective actions described in each Remedial Plan that Contractor proposes to undertake with respect to the Work shall be designed and intended to cause such Phase or the PV Power Plant, as applicable, to satisfy the applicable Performance Guarantee with a reasonable probability of success and may not involve a material risk of damaging or diminishing the performance of any of the Work.  The projected completion date for such corrective action must fall within the applicable Cure Period.

custody, and control of those parts of the PV Power Plant affected by Contractor's Work pursuant to the applicable Remedial Plan.  Contractor shall be granted such access, subject to Section 15.7, for purposes of achieving the Performance Guarantee and for the period as set forth in the applicable Remedial Plan, to:

(a)    perform corrective actions pursuant to the applicable Remedial Plan; and
(b)    perform the applicable Performance Acceptance Tests, as provided in such Remedial Plan.
16.6.6    Operations During Cure Period.  During the Cure Period, Owner shall have the right to operate the applicable Phase and/or the PV Power Plant, including the right to maximize the economic benefits of the Project.  Any failure by Owner to provide Contractor with access to the applicable portion of the PV Power Plant as set forth in this Section 16.6.6 shall not be considered a breach of any covenant, condition, representation or warranty of Owner, and shall not be construed as an Owner Event of Default.  Contractor's only remedy for a failure by Owner to provide Contractor with access to the applicable Phase and/or the PV Power Plant as set forth in this Section 16.6.6 shall be an equitable extension of the Cure Period until such reasonable access is provided.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall be entitled to reasonable access to the applicable Phase and/or the PV Power Plant between sunset and sunrise.  

16.7    Extension of Cure Period.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Contractor has been unable to cause the applicable Phase or the PV Power Plant to meet the Performance Guarantee on or prior to the expiration of the initial Cure Period, Contractor may submit to Owner for approval a request for extension of such Cure Period and a revised Remedial Plan setting forth in specificity and detail the corrective actions which Contractor proposes to undertake to enable such Phase to achieve the Performance Guarantee during an extended Cure Period pursuant to this Section 16.7.  Upon Owner's approval of such revised Remedial Plan, such Cure Period shall be extended for the period of time set forth in the Remedial Plan.

16.8    Sole Remedy; Liquidated Damages Not a Penalty.  Without limiting Owner's remedies hereunder with respect to Contractor's unexcused failure to achieve Substantial Completion of a Phase or the PV Power Plant or failure to achieve any Performance Guarantee, the amounts payable under Section 16.1, Section 16.4, or Section 16.5 in each case as limited by Article 30, and the other remedies provided for in this Article 16, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Owner for delays in achieving Substantial Completion by the applicable Substantial Completion Guaranteed Date, or for failure to achieve the Performance Guarantee with respect to any Phase or the PV Power Plant as a whole.  The Parties agree that Owner's actual damages in the event of such delays or failures would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine.  After negotiation, the Parties have agreed that the Delay Liquidated Damages, PV Plant Substantial Completion Delay Liquidated Damages, and the Performance Liquidated Damages are in the nature of liquidated damages and are a reasonable and appropriate measure of the damages that Owner would incur as a result of such delays or failures, and do not represent a penalty.

-59-

16.9    Enforceability.  The Parties explicitly agree and intend that the provisions of this Article 16 shall be fully enforceable by any court exercising jurisdiction over any dispute between the Parties arising under this Agreement.  Each Party hereby irrevocably waives any defenses available under law or equity relating to the enforceability of the liquidated damages provisions set forth in this Article 16 on the grounds that such liquidated damages provisions should not be enforced as constituting a penalty or a forfeiture.

16.10    Achievement of Performance Guarantee; Reimbursement of Liquidated Damages. 

16.10.1Reimbursement of Performance Liquidated Damages.  Upon completion of any Performance Acceptance Test with respect to a Phase or with respect to the PV Power Plant in accordance with this Agreement, the Parties shall meet and review the results of such Performance Acceptance Test.  Based on the results of such Performance Acceptance Test that has been Successfully Run prior to the expiration of the Cure Period (the “Final Performance Acceptance Test”), the Parties shall apply the following:

(a)    Performance Guarantee Satisfied.  If such Final Performance Acceptance Test indicates that the Performance Guarantee with respect to all of Phases of the Project through and including such Phase, or with respect to the PV Power Plant as a whole, as applicable, has been achieved, then within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, Owner shall refund to Contractor:
(i)    the amount of any Performance Liquidated Damages previously paid by Contractor pursuant to Section 16.5 or offset by Owner, minus 
(ii)    as the sole compensation to Owner for its lost revenue during the Cure Period) an amount equal to the following: ***.  For purposes of this Section 16.10(a), the “Cure Period Deficiency” is calculated as the Guaranteed Capacity less the Tested Capacity demonstrated by the Performance Acceptance Test used to achieve, as applicable, Phase Substantial Completion or PV Plant Substantial Completion, expressed in kW.  An example calculation of the foregoing is set forth in Section 2.1 of Exhibit O.
(b)    Performance Guarantee Not Satisfied.  If such Final Performance Acceptance Test indicates that the Performance Guarantee with respect to all of Phases of the Project through and including such Phase, or with respect to the PV Power Plant as a whole, as applicable, has not been satisfied, but the amount paid by Contractor (or offset by Owner) as Performance Liquidated Damages pursuant to Section 16.5 exceeds the amount that Contractor would have paid based on the results of such Final Performance Acceptance Test, then within ten (10) Business Days after an invoice is delivered to Owner, Owner shall refund to Contractor the amount of any such excess Performance Liquidated Damages paid by Contractor pursuant to Section 16.5 or offset by Owner (i.e., the difference between the amount of Performance Liquidated Damages paid under Section 16.5 and those that would have been payable if the results of such Final Performance Acceptance Test had been used to achieve the applicable Phase Substantial

-76-

Major Subcontractors' Umbrella Excess Liability Insurance policies otherwise maintained in accordance with the requirements under Section 22.2.4, shall not be less than ***.  Subcontractors shall include Owner, its Affiliates and the landowner's of the Site where the Project is located as additional insured parties on the policies that Subcontractors maintain which are of the types listed in Sections 22.2.2, 22.2.3, and 22.2.4, and shall waive subrogation in favor of Owner, its Affiliates, Owner Financing Parties, and the landowner's of the Site where the Project is located under all policies they maintain which are of the types listed in Section 22.2.  Contractor agrees that all its subcontractors contractually agree that their insurance will respond on a primary basis to any similar insurance being maintained by Contractor, Owner, or any additional insured.  Any deviation from these requirements must be agreed to, in writing, by the Owner. 

22.7    Contractor's Certificates.  On or prior to the Full Notice to Proceed Date, Contractor shall furnish to Owner certificates of insurance from each insurance carrier showing that the insurance required of Contractor as set forth in this Article 22 is in full force and effect, the amount of the carrier's liability thereunder.  Contractor shall also be responsible for obtaining certificates of insurance for the insurance coverages required to be maintained by its Subcontractor in accordance with Section 22.6 from each Subcontractor before such Subcontractor is allowed to commence Work or enter the Site.  Certificates of insurance submitted under this Section 22.7 shall be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Owner.  Certificates of each renewal of the insurance should also be delivered to Owner and, if applicable, any Owner Financing Party promptly after receipt.

22.8    Owner's Certificates.  On or prior to the Full Notice to Proceed Date, Owner shall furnish to Contractor certificates of insurance from Owner's insurance carrier(s), showing that the insurance coverages required of Owner as set forth in this Article 22 are in full force and effect, the value of the property being insured thereunder.  Certificates of insurance submitted under this Section 22.8 shall be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Contractor.  Certificates of each renewal of the insurance should also be delivered to Contractor and any Contractor Financing Party promptly after receipt.

22.9    Descriptions Not Limitations.  The insurance coverages referred to in this Article 22 will be set forth in full in the respective policy forms, and the foregoing descriptions of such policies are not intended to be complete, nor to alter or amend any provision of the actual policies, and in matters (if any) in which the said description may be conflicting with such instruments, the provisions of the policies of the insurance shall govern; provided, however, that neither the content of any insurance policy or certificate nor approval thereof shall relieve either Parties of any of their obligations under this Agreement.

22.10    Cost of Premiums.  It is expressly agreed and understood that:

(a)    the cost of premiums for insurance required to be maintained by *** as set forth in this Article 22 and all Taxes thereon shall be borne by ***, and shall be endorsed to provide that *** shall have no liability for the payment of any premium thereon; and

endorsed to provide that *** shall have no liability for the payment of any premium thereon.
22.11    Other Deductibles.  Except as provided in Section 22.4.4 (with respect to deductibles relating to claims under the builders all-risk insurance), any required payment of any deductible for a claim relating to other insurance coverages to be maintained by either Party hereunder shall be the responsibility of the party being required to maintain that coverage, and *** shall be responsible for the payment of such deductibles relating to claims under the insurance policies described in Section 22.2.
22.12    Both Party's Rights to Provide Insurance.  If either Party fails to provide or maintain any insurance required of it hereunder, then, on ten (10) days notice of its intent to do so and absent provision of the insurance, the other Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to provide or maintain any such insurance, and to deduct the cost thereof from any amounts due and payable to the breaching Party (including, in the case of Owner, from any amounts due and payable to Contractor in respect of the Contract Price), or, if there are no such amounts due and payable to the breaching Party, the breaching Party shall reimburse the other Party for such costs on demand.  Should any of the policies required to be maintained by either Party become unavailable or be canceled for any reason during the period of this Agreement, such Party shall immediately procure replacement coverage.  The failure of either Party to procure such replacement coverage which is within the reasonable control of such Party (so as to provide continuous coverage) shall constitute a material breach hereunder.

22.13    No Limitation of Liability.  The insurance coverages required of Contractor as set forth in this Article 22 shall in no way affect, nor are they intended as a limitation of, Contractor's liability with respect to its performance of the Work.

22.14    Other Terms and Provisions.

22.14.1Unintentional Errors or Omissions.  It is hereby understood and agreed that the coverages afforded by the insurance policies required of either Party set forth in this Article 22 shall not be invalidated or affected by any unintentional omissions or errors.

24.    INDEMNIFICATION

24.1    Comparative Fault.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is the intent of the Parties that where fault is determined to have been joint or contributory, principles of comparative fault will be followed and each Party shall bear the proportionate cost of any loss, damage, expense and liability attributable to such Party's fault.

24.2    By Contractor.  Subject to Section 24.1, Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless, Owner, the Owner Financing Parties (if any) and any of their employees, shareholders, members, directors, officers, managers, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (each, an “Owner Indemnitee”) from and against the following, except to the extent arising from the sole negligence of an Owner Indemnitee:

24.4    Patent Infringement and Other Indemnification Rights. 

24.4.1    Contractor Obligation to Indemnify.  Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Owner Indemnitees against all Losses arising from any Intellectual Property Claim.  Owner shall provide Contractor with reasonably prompt notice of any Claim for which Owner seeks indemnity hereunder.  Contractor shall, at its own expense settle or defend any such Intellectual Property Claim and pay all damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, awarded against Owner and, if Owner is enjoined from completing the PV Power Plant or any part thereof, or from the use, operation or enjoyment of the PV Power Plant or any part thereof, as a result of a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as a result of injunctive relief provided by a court of competent jurisdiction, either:  

(a)    procure for Owner, or reimburse Owner for procuring, the right to continue using the infringing service, PV Power Plant Hardware or other Work; 
(b)    modify the infringing service, PV Power Plant Hardware or other Work so that the same becomes non-infringing; or 
(c)    replace the infringing service, PV Power Plant Hardware or other Work with non-infringing service, PV Power Plant Hardware or other Work, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall Contractor take any action which adversely affects Owner's continued use and enjoyment of the applicable service, PV Power Plant Hardware or other Work without the prior written consent of Owner. 
24.4.2    Contractor Deliverables; Electronic Data Files.

(a)    Owner's acceptance of the Contractor Deliverables, supplied materials and equipment or other component of the Work shall not be construed to relieve Contractor of any obligation hereunder.  
(b)    Except where any Contractor Deliverable shall be in the form of an electronic data file, any other electronic data files furnished to Owner pursuant to this Agreement are provided only for the convenience of Owner.  Owner recognizes that such electronic data files not provided to Owner as a Contractor Deliverable may not be adequate or appropriate for Owner's needs.  In the case of any discrepancies between the Contractor Deliverable represented by electronic data files and the plotted hardcopy of such files bearing the seal of Contractor's registered professional engineer, the sealed hardcopy shall govern.  Contractor assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the electronic data files not provided to Owner as a Contractor Deliverable, and any use or reuse of such electronic data for any purpose shall be at Owner's sole risk.
24.5    Claim Notice.  An Indemnitee shall provide Notice to the indemnifying Party, within ten (10) days after receiving Notice of the commencement of any legal action or of any claims or threatened claims against such Indemnitee in respect of which indemnification may be 

-82-

sought pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article 24 or any other provision of this Agreement providing for an indemnity (such Notice, a “Claim Notice”).  The Indemnitee's failure to give, or tardiness in giving, such Claim Notice will reduce the liability of the indemnifying Party only by the amount of damages attributable to such failure or tardiness, but shall not otherwise relieve the indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have under this Agreement.  In case any such claim or legal action shall be made or brought against an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee shall Notify (by sending a Claim Notice) the indemnifying Party thereof, the Indemnitee may by such Claim Notice require the indemnifying Party to assume and control the defense of the claim (other than any Intellectual Property Claim, which shall be controlled by Contractor unless otherwise agreed by the Parties) that is the subject of such Claim Notice, in which case the indemnifying Party may select counsel after consultation with the Indemnitee, and the indemnifying Party shall pay all expenses of the conduct of such defense.  The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in (but not control) the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee unless the indemnifying Party agrees otherwise; provided, however, that if the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnitee and the indemnifying Party, the indemnifying Party requires that the same counsel represent both the Indemnitee and the indemnifying Party, and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between them, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the indemnifying Party.  If the indemnifying Party fails to assume or diligently prosecute the defense of any claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 24.5, then the Indemnitee shall have the absolute right to control the defense of such claim and the fees and expenses of such defense, including reasonable attorneys' fees of the Indemnitee's counsel and any reasonable amount determined to be owed by Indemnitee pursuant to such claim, shall be borne by the indemnifying Party, provided, however, that the indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in (but not control) such defense.  Subject to all of the foregoing provisions of this Section 24.5: 

(a)    as between the Parties, the indemnifying Party shall control the settlement of all claims, in coordination with any insurer as required under the applicable insurance policies in Article 22 as to which it has assumed the defense; provided, however, that to the extent the indemnifying Party, in relation to such insurer, controls settlement:  
(i)    such settlement shall include a dismissal of the claim and an explicit release from the party bringing such claim or other proceedings of all Indemnitees; and 
(ii)    the indemnifying Party shall not conclude any settlement without the prior approval of the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and 
(b)    except as provided in the preceding sentence concerning the indemnifying Party's failure to assume or to diligently prosecute the defense of any claim, no Indemnitee seeking reimbursement pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or 
-83-

proceeding for which indemnity is afforded hereunder unless such Indemnitee reasonably believes that the matter in question involves potential criminal liability against such Indemnitee.  The Indemnitee shall provide reasonable assistance to the indemnifying Party when the indemnifying Party so requests, at the indemnifying Party's expense, in connection with such legal action or claim, including executing any powers-of-attorney or other documents required by the indemnifying Party with regard to the defense or indemnity obligations. 
24.6    Survival of Indemnity Obligations.  The indemnities set forth in this Article 24 shall survive the Final Completion Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of *** following the Final Completion Date or earlier termination.  All Claim Notices must be delivered, if at all, to the applicable Party prior to the expiration of such period.  If any Claim Notice is made within such period, then the indemnifying period with respect to all claims identified in such Claim Notice (and the indemnity obligation of the Parties hereunder with respect to such claim) shall extend through the final, non-appealable resolution of such claims.  For purposes of clarification hereunder, without limiting the other rights granted hereunder to either Party, a Party may enforce the indemnity provisions hereunder pursuant to the provisions of Article 31 without having to declare an Owner Event of Default or a Contractor Event of Default, as applicable. 

24.7    Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Parties agree to treat all indemnification payments made under this Agreement as adjustments to the Contract Price; provided, however, that any indemnification payments in respect of a Phase made subsequent to the submission of a Section 1603 Application or Section 1603 Commencement of Construction Application for that Phase shall be made on an After-Tax Basis unless (i) the underlying Claim for the indemnity corresponds to an express statement from the Department of Treasury that a reduction in the applied for Cash Grant is the result of the initial cost basis of the relevant portion of the Phase being less than that stated in the Cash Grant, or (ii) the contemplated reduction in purchase price from any such indemnity would not be inconsistent with the tax basis of the “qualified property” in that Phase stated in a Section 1603 Application or Section 1603 Commencement of Construction Application (prior to approval of that application) or as approved by the Department of Treasury in respect of the Cash Grant actually paid. 

24.8    Contractor Lien Indemnity.  Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, Owner, Owner-Financing Parties, and the title insurer(s) for Owner-Financing Parties against loss due to the perfection of any “Contractor Liens” with priority greater than that of the liens of the Owner-Financing Parties upon the assets of Owner.

25.    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

25.1    Confidential Information.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means proprietary information concerning the business, operations and assets of Owner or Contractor (as the case may be), their respective parent companies, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the “Disclosing Party”) that is clearly marked “Proprietary” or “Confidential” if disclosed in writing, and, if disclosed orally or visually, is communicated to be confidential at the time of disclosure and reduced to a writing marked 

*** CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

-84-

“Proprietary” or “Confidential” within a period of thirty (30) days after the initial oral or visual disclosure by the Disclosing Party to the Party receiving the information (“Receiving Party”).  Subject to the preceding sentence, Confidential Information may include information or materials prepared in connection with the performance of the Work under this Agreement, or any related subsequent agreement, designs, drawings, specifications, techniques, models, data, documentation, manuals, source code, object code, diagrams, flow charts, research, development, processes, procedures, know-how, manufacturing, development or marketing techniques and materials, development or marketing timetables, strategies and development plans, business plans, customer, supplier or personnel names and other information related to customers, suppliers or personnel, pricing policies and financial information, and other information of a similar nature, whether or not reduced to writing or other tangible form (provided the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied), and any other trade secrets.  In no event, shall Confidential Information include (a) information known to Receiving Party prior to obtaining the same from Disclosing Party (provided that such knowledge did not involve a breach of confidentiality obligations by any Person from whom such knowledge was directly or indirectly obtained) as reflected by the written records of Receiving Party; (b) information in the public domain at the time of disclosure by Disclosing Party; (c) information obtained by Receiving Party from a third party rightfully in the possession of such information and who did not receive same, directly or indirectly, from Disclosing Party; (d) information approved for public release by express prior written consent of an authorized officer of Disclosing Party; or (e) the materials specifically identified as “Non-Confidential Information” in Exhibit B.

25.2    Use of Confidential Information.  

25.2.1    General.  Receiving Party hereby agrees that it shall use the Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement, the PV Power Plant, and/or the Project.  Receiving Party agrees to use the same degree of care Receiving Party uses with respect to its own proprietary or confidential information, which in any event shall result in a reasonable standard of care to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.  Except as otherwise provided herein, Receiving Party shall keep confidential and not disclose the Confidential Information.  Owner and Contractor shall cause each of their directors, officers, managers, employees, agents, partners, representatives, Subcontractors, successors and permitted assigns to become familiar with, and abide by, the terms of this Section 25.2.

25.2.2    Disclosures Required under Applicable Law.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 25.2, Receiving Party may disclose any of the Confidential Information to the extent required by Applicable Law.  Prior to making or permitting any such disclosure, Receiving Party shall provide Disclosing Party with prompt Notice of any such requirement so that Disclosing Party (with Receiving Party's assistance, if requested) may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.  In any such event, the Receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the sole cost and expense of the Disclosing Party, to ensure that all Confidential Information that is so disclosed shall be accorded confidential treatment, to the extent possible, and shall so disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed.

-85-

25.2.3    Permitted Disclosures.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party has the right to disclose Confidential Information without the consent of the Disclosing Party; (i) as required by any court or other Governmental Authority, or by any stock exchange on which the shares of any Party are listed; (ii) as required  in connection with any government or regulatory filings, including filings with any regulating authorities covering the relevant financial markets; (iii) to its attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or other agents that require such information in connection with their work; (iv) to actual and prospective lenders, investors and other financing sources and their advisors, in each case to the extent necessary or advisable in connection with obtaining financing for the Project or the Work; (v) in connection with an actual or prospective merger or acquisition or similar transaction involving such Party or the parent entity of such Party, (vi) in the case of disclosures by Contractor, the Subcontractors and Suppliers, and (vii) in the case of disclosures by Owner, the Owner's Engineer, the Owner Parent and Affiliate of Owner that acts as operator of the Project.  In each of cases (iii) through (vii) above, the Disclosing Party shall obtain from the third party to whom it seeks to disclose or to whom it has disclosed Confidential Information a binding confidentiality undertaking in writing agreeing to keep and use such information in confidence that is substantially similar to the undertakings of the Parties in this Article 25 (provided that no such agreement in writing shall be required from third parties who are in any event bound by legal or professional ethical obligations to maintain such confidentiality).

25.2.4    No Disclosure to Competitors.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as required in the case of an emergency that is life-threatening or that can result in bodily injury. Owner shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any Competitor of SunPower.

25.2.5    Publicity.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 25, Contractor shall have the right to utilize general information about the PV Power Plant, including photographs, in its promotional materials and public statements.  All contractor usage of general information about the PV Power Plant, including photographs, must indicate that NRG is the owner of the Project and cannot disparage the Project or operation of it.  For a period of ten (10) years following Final Completion, Contractor shall be allowed:  (1) to have reasonable room on the single NRG sign at the main entrances to the Project  (specifications to be mutually agreed upon) identifying SunPower as the facility supplier and builder, and (2) to access the Site with guests, who shall not be a Competitor of NRG, for promotional purposes, including the taking of photographs, during normal business hours and at other times as are acceptable to Owner and with the Owner's permission. Owner shall have the right to join on any tours by Contractor, including those tours with media, political and community members.  Contractor shall request access to the facility by telephone or email to Owner not less than one (1) week prior to any desired visit to the Site.  Contractor shall require all Contractor personnel and guests admitted to the Site to observe all applicable safety standards.  In addition to the foregoing, for a period of ten (10) years following Final Completion, Owner shall make available to Contractor read-only access to summary data relating to the performance of the PV Power Plant, 

-86-

which data shall only be used for purposes internal to Contractor and shall not otherwise be disclosed to any third parties. 

25.2.6    Return of Confidential Information.  At any time upon the request of Disclosing Party, Receiving Party shall promptly deliver to Disclosing Party or destroy if so directed by Disclosing Party (with such destruction to be certified by Receiving Party) all documents (and all copies thereof, however stored) furnished to or prepared by Receiving Party that contain Confidential Information; provided, however, that the Receiving Party may retain one copy of such Confidential Information; and provided, further, that all such retained Confidential Information shall be held subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

25.2.7    Termination of Confidentiality.  The confidentiality provisions set forth in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is two (2) years after the earlier of (i) the PV Plant Substantial Completion Date or (ii) the termination of this Agreement.  After such date, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, no information previously designated as Confidential Information under this Article 25 shall need to be treated as confidential by the Receiving Party. 

25.3    Remedies for Breach of Confidentiality Obligations.  The Parties acknowledge that the Confidential Information is valuable and unique, and that damages would be an inadequate remedy for breach of the obligations set forth in this Article 25 and the obligations of each Party under this Article 25 are specifically enforceable.  Accordingly, the Parties agree that a breach or threatened breach of this Article 25 by either Party, shall entitle the other Party to seek an injunction preventing such breach, without the necessity of proving damages or posting any bond.  Any such relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, monetary damages or any other legal or equitable remedy available to such Party, its direct and indirect parent companies, subsidiaries or Affiliates.

26.    ASSIGNMENT

26.1    Assignment to Other Persons.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 26.1, neither Party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement to any third party, without the prior written consent of the other Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either Party from engaging Affiliates or subcontractors in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (other than its respective payment obligations).  Notwithstanding the foregoing: 

(a)    Owner may (i) collaterally assign its rights, title and interest under this Agreement to any Owner Financing Party, or (ii) assign its rights, title and interest under this Agreement in connection with a sale-leaseback or other similar arrangement for the PV Power Plant and, in each case, in connection therewith, Contractor shall execute and deliver any usual and customary consents, customary legal opinions or other customary documents reasonably requested by Owner;

Owner, Owner's Engineer, the Owner Financing Parties, if any, and their authorized representatives shall be entitled to inspect and audit such records and books of account during normal business hours and upon reasonable advanced Notice during the course of the Work and for a period of four (4) years after Final Completion, provided, however, that the purpose of any such audit shall be only for verification of such costs, and Contractor shall not be required to keep records of or provide access to those of its costs covered by the fee, allowances, fixed rates, unit prices, lump sum amounts, or of costs which are expressed in terms of percentages of other costs.  Contractor shall retain all such records and books of account for a period of at least four (4) years after the Final Completion Date.  Audit data shall not be released by the auditor to parties other than Contractor, Owner, Owner's Engineer, and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees and agents in connection with any such audit, subject to the provisions of Article 25.  If, as a result of any audit conducted pursuant to this Section 33.17, the results of such audit indicate that Contractor received more than the amount to which it was entitled under this Agreement, Contractor shall refund any overpayment to Owner within ten (10) days of a written request therefore.  Owner shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of such audit unless a significant overpayment by Owner is discovered, in which case Contractor shall be responsible for such costs and expenses.  It is acknowledged and agreed that the audit and inspection rights provided for in this Section or any other obligations on the part of Contractor to provide information to Owner or its affiliates shall not in any event extend to information related to Contractor's or its affiliates' profit margins, earnings or yield related to the Project or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

33.18    Independent Engineer.  Contractor acknowledges that Owner Financing Parties will engage an Independent Engineer for the purpose of providing to Owner Financing Parties a neutral, third party overview of the Work.  Contractor agrees to provide to the Independent Engineer (i) access to the Site and the right inspect the Work, in each case upon reasonable advance notice to Contractor, (ii) attend and observe Performance Acceptance Tests and PV Power Plant Functional Tests, and receive the results thereof, and attend meetings between Contractor and Owner, and (iii) receive copies of proposed Changes in Work, Monthly Progress Reports, Remedial Plans, Notices of Substantial Completion, Notices of Final Completion and Notices of Force Majeure Events.  Owner undertakes that, to the extent that the financing documents pursuant to which the Owner Financing Parties extend financing for the Project to Owner require that the Independent Engineer approve, consent to, or otherwise acknowledge any matter arising under this Agreement as a condition to the Owner Financing Parties' funding of

any loans or other financial accommodations to Owner, Owner will use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the Independent Engineer so approves or gives its countersignature with respect to such matter, or indicates that it is not willing to do so in relation to such matter within the time specified in this Agreement for Owner to respond in relation to such matter.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein contained, the Independent Engineer shall have no right to direct Contractor or any portion of the Work or to make any Changes in Work.

For purposes of this Exhibit AA, and as required by subparagraph (b)(8) below of this Exhibit AA, the definitions set forth in Section 5.2 of title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) are incorporated by reference herein, some of which are set forth below, except to the extent modified below, in addition to certain newly defined terms set forth below for purposes of Davis-Bacon Act compliance under Section 1705 of Title XVII:

(1)“Construction, prosecution, completion, or repair” or “performance of the Project” means the following:
(1)    All Work, including Work at a facility which is deemed a part of the site of the work by laborers and mechanics employed by Contractor or any Subcontractor, including without limitation-
(i)    Altering, remodeling, installation (where appropriate) on the site of the work of items fabricated off-site;
(ii)    Painting and decorating;
(iii)    Manufacturing or furnishing of materials, articles, supplies or equipment on the site of the work (or, under the United States Housing Act of 1937; the Housing Act of 1949; and the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 in the construction or development of the Project);
(iv)    (A) Transportation between the site of the work and a facility which is dedicated to the Work and deemed a part of the site of the work; and
             (B) Transportation of portion(s) of the Work between a site where a significant portion of such Work is constructed, which is a part of the site of the work, and the physical place or places where the Work will remain.
(2)     Except as provided in paragraph (j)(1)(iv)(A) of 29 CFR 5.2, the transportation of materials or supplies to or from the site of the work by employees of the Contractor or any Subcontractor is not “construction, prosecution, completion, or repair.”
(2)“Contracting officer” means the individual, a duly appointed successor, or authorized representative who is designated and authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the Federal agency or any representative designated by DOE to the Owner from time to time for purposes of Davis-Bacon Act compliance.

fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity as defined in part 541 of title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations are not deemed to be laborers or mechanics. Working foremen who devote more than 20 percent of their time during a workweek to mechanic or laborer duties, and who do not meet the criteria of part 541, are laborers and mechanics for the time so spent.

(4)“Loan Guarantee Agreement” means that certain Loan Guarantee Agreement among High Plains Ranch II, LLC, NRG Solar CVSR Holdings LLC, U.S. Department of Energy, and Midland Loan Services, Inc. dated [________].

(ii)        Except as provided in subparagraph (a)(4)(iii) of this Exhibit AA, job headquarters, tool yards, batch plants, borrow pits, etc., provided they are dedicated exclusively, or nearly so, to performance of this Agreement or the Project, and provided they are adjacent or virtually adjacent to the site of the work as defined in subparagraph (a)(4)(i) of this Exhibit AA;
(iii)        Not included in the site of the work are permanent home offices, branch plant establishments, fabrication plants, tool yards, etc., of Contractor whose location and continuance in operation are determined wholly without regard to a particular Federal or federally assisted contract, such as the Loan Guarantee Agreement, or the Project. In addition, fabrication plants, batch plants, borrow pits, job headquarters, tool yards, etc., of a commercial or material supplier, which are established by a Supplier before opening of bids and not on the site of the work as stated in subparagraph (a)(4)(i) of this Exhibit AA, are not included in the site of the work. Such permanent, previously established facilities are not part of the site of the work, even where the operations for a period of time may be dedicated exclusively, or nearly so, to the performance of this Agreement.
(6)    “Wage determination” includes the original decision and any subsequent decisions modifying, superseding, correcting, or otherwise changing the provisions of the original decision. The application of the wage determination shall be in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 1.6 of title 29 of the CFR.
(b)    (1)     Minimum wages.

AA-2
Exhibit AA
Davis Bacon Act Requirements

Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b)(1)(iv) of this Exhibit AA; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraph (b)(4) below. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein; provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under subparagraph (b)(1)(ii) of this Exhibit AA) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by Contractor at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
(ii)    (A)     The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the this Agreement shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:
(1)     The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and
(2)     The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3)     The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(B)     If Contractor, the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(C)     In the event Contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination 
AA-3
Exhibit AA
Davis Bacon Act Requirements

within thirty (30) days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within such 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(D)     The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this Exhibit AA, shall be paid to all workers performing Work in the classification under this Agreement from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii)    Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in this Agreement for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, Contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(iv)    If Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, Contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program; provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of Contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require Owner to require Contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
(2) Withholding.  Contractor shall upon its own action or upon written request of Owner withhold or cause to be withheld so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed or working on the site of the work the full amount of wages required by this Agreement.  In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the required wages, Owner may, after written notice to Contractor take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further disbursement to Contractor until such violations have ceased, it being understood that any such suspension shall not affect disbursements that have been disbursed prior to the date of such suspension and remain outstanding as of such date.
(3) Payrolls and basic records. 
(i)    Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by Contractor during the course of the Work and preserved for a period of three (3) years thereafter for all of its laborers and mechanics employed or working at the site of the work.  Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, Contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in 
AA-4
Exhibit AA
Davis Bacon Act Requirements

providing such benefits. If Contractor employs apprentices or trainees under approved programs, each shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii)    (A) Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any Work is performed a copy of all payrolls to Owner.  Contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all Subcontractors of all tiers.  Unless otherwise directed by DOE, Owner shall submit weekly for each week in which any Work is performed a copy of all of its payrolls, as well as all payrolls of Contractor and any Subcontractors, to the DOE contracting officer. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under subparagraph (b)(3)(i) of this Exhibit AA, except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee's social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. Owner is responsible for the submission of copies of its own payrolls and the payrolls of Contractor and all Subcontractors, in each case, to the extent each employs laborers and mechanics in the performance of the Project.  Contractor is responsible for the submission to Owner of copies of payrolls of all Subcontractors.  Contractor shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each of its own covered workers, and shall provide them upon request to Owner, for transmission to the DOE or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this subparagraph (b)(3)(ii)(A) of this Exhibit AA for Owner to require Contractor, or Contractor  to require any Subcontractor, to provide addresses and social security numbers to for its own records, without weekly submission to the DOE or Owner.
(B) Each payroll submitted by Contractor to Owner shall be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,” signed by Contractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the laborer or mechanic employed under this Agreement and shall certify the following:
(1)    That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under subparagraph (b)(3)(ii) of this Exhibit AA, the appropriate information is being maintained under subparagraph (b)(3)(i) of this Exhibit AA, and that such information is correct and complete;
(2)    That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed under this Agreement during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;
(3)    That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the Loan 
AA-5
Exhibit AA
Davis Bacon Act Requirements

Guarantee Agreement and this Agreement.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by subparagraph (b)(3)(ii)(B) of this Exhibit AA.
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject Contractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 3729 of title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii)    Contractor shall make available to Owner, and Owner shall make available to DOE, the records required under subparagraph (b)(3)(i) of this Exhibit AA available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the DOE or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If Contractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the DOE may, after written notice to Owner take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further disbursement under the DOE-Guaranteed Loan, it being understood that any such suspension shall not affect the validity of the DOE Guarantee on the portions of the DOE-Guaranteed Loan that have been disbursed prior to the date of such suspension and remain outstanding as of such date.  Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
(4) Apprentices and trainees.
(i)    Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first ninety (90) days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the Site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to Contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of Work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing Work on Site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the Work actually performed. Where Contractor is performing construction on a Project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in Contractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions 
AA-6
Exhibit AA
Davis Bacon Act Requirements

of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii)    Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees shall not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the Work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the Site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the Site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the Work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, or Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this Agreement.
(6) Subcontracts. Contractor shall insert in any agreement with any Subcontractor the clauses contained in subparagraphs (b)(1) through (10) of this Exhibit AA and such other clauses as the DOE may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the Subcontractor to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontract.  Contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any Subcontractor with all the contract clauses in (1) through (10) of this Exhibit AA.
(7) Contract termination: debarment.  A breach of any of the clauses in (1) through 
AA-7
Exhibit AA
Davis Bacon Act Requirements

(10) of subparagraph (b) in this Exhibit AA may be considered a failure to perform a material provision of this Agreement by Contractor and, if Contractor fails to take action to cure such failure in accordance with Section 20.1 of the Agreement, shall constitute an Event of Default by Contractor and may be grounds for termination of this Agreement, and for debarment as a contractor, a subcontractor or other entity as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements.  All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 (other than Section 5.5(b) of 29 CFR part 5) are herein incorporated by reference in this Agreement.
(9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this Agreement shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this Agreement. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7.  Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the Owner or Contractor and DOE, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
(10) Certification of eligibility. 
(i)    By entering into this Agreement, the Owner and Contractor each certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in Owner or Contractor is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(ii)    No part of this agreement shall be assigned or subcontracted, as the case may be, to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(iii)    The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001.

WAGE DETERMINATION

This document sets forth the preliminary wage determination and shall be replaced with the final wage determination upon issuance.
PRELIMINARY WAGE INFORMATION
15 Aug 2011

NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
•All projects involving construction work financed in whole or in part by a loan guaranteed under Title XVII (a “Title XVII loan”) are required to comply with Davis-Bacon requirements.
• At this time, your project has not been financed in whole or in part with a Title XVII loan and
therefore no official Davis-Bacon Act wage determination(s) has/have been selected by the Department of Energy (“DOE”) in connection with your project.
•The attached information is being provided to you at your request, is solely for informational
purposes and is subject to change by DOE. Though DOE has attempted to provide you with accurate information, the official wage determination(s) will only be selected by DOE if your project should receive a Title XVII loan. Therefore, DOE makes no representation that the attached information will be the same as the official wage determination(s), if any.
•In providing the attached information, DOE makes no representation that your project will receive a Title XVII loan. The attached information is based solely on the facts that you provided to the DOE and the wage determination schedules published by the U.S. Department of Labor effective as of the date hereof. It should be noted that the job classifications and/or wage rates in these wage determination schedules change from time-to-time and you are encouraged to sign up for the Department of Labor's wage determination Alert Service www.wdol.gov to keep track of any changes to the wage determination schedule.
•The official wage determination schedule to be incorporated into your Title XVII loan closing
documents will contain the wage rates effective as of the closing date, consistent with DOL All-Agency Memorandum No. 207, available at http://www.wdol.gov/aam.aspx. The official schedule may contain different job classifications and wage rates than the preliminary schedule, and will apply on a prospective basis only from the date of the Title XVII loan closing, and not to construction that has occurred prior to such closing.
•In providing you with the attached information, DOE is not providing advice on how the Davis-Bacon Act applies to the particular facts and circumstances of your project. You may wish to consult with your own professional advisors if you determine such advice is needed.

SunPower Corporation LLC may consider the following PRELIMINARY wage determination for the Davis-Bacon Act construction performed on the project:
1. For all construction under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract and other contracts for construction in effect at or prior to Title XVII loan guarantee closing, please use the CA19 Modification 26 (8/5/11) wage determination schedule found at http://www.wdol.gov/wdol/scafiles/davisbacon/CA19.dvb.
2. Regarding the Operations and Maintenance contract, if the work is performed after the construction contractor and subcontractors have finished, left the site, and the contracting agency has accepted the building, the work would not be covered by DBA.
3. Since you did not confirm that there are in fact batch plants/gravel pits/fabrication plants dedicated exclusively or nearly so to the project, DOE will proceed assuming there are no such plants.
4. We thought it would be helpful to provide links to examples of helpful DOE and Department of Labor (DOL) DBA guidance documents. The following are some very helpful resources, but do not substitute for legal and loan guarantee agreement requirements:
•DOE has published a “Desk Guide” and other DBA guidance, available at
http://www1.eere.energy.gov/wip/davis-bacon_act.html applicable to other DOE financial
assistance programs. The Desk Guide is at the top right of this webpage.
•DOL's Prevailing Wage Resource Book, in particular chapters 13-18 on the DBA, at
http://www.dol.gov/whd/recovery/pwrb/toc.htm
•DOL's DBA Field Operations Handbook, available at:

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted
because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the
Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial
contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)
and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an
interested party (those affected by the action) can request
review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the
interested party's position and by any information (wage
payment data, project description, area practice material,
etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an
interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative

Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:
Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

e.All notices required under this Section 4 shall comply with the requirements of Section 14(c).
5.License.  Customer's right to use the Documents released to it (the “Released Documents”) is subject to a limited license.

b.Customer shall protect the Released Documents against unauthorized use or disclosure with the same degree of protection the Customer uses to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care.  Customer shall use the Released Documents only as expressly permitted by this Agreement, and shall limit the disclosure of Released Documents to consultants, auditors, employees, contractors, subcontractors or agents of the Customer who have a need to know such information for purposes expressly authorized by this Agreement and who are (i) bound in writing by confidentiality terms no less restrictive than those contained herein or (ii) bound by ethical requirements of their profession to keep such Released Documents confidential.

The Customer shall not disclose any Released Documents that it is not legally required to disclose in order to comply with the order of a Governmental Authority or applicable law.
d.Customer acknowledges that Supplier and Owner believe that the Released Documents are unique property of extreme value, and the unauthorized use or disclosure thereof would cause Supplier and Owner irreparable harm that could not be compensated by monetary damages.  Accordingly, Customer agrees that Supplier or Owner may seek, from any court of competent jurisdiction, injunctive and preliminary relief to remedy any actual or threatened unauthorized use or disclosure of the Released Documents, and Customer shall not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law.

(a)    HPR-II shall ensure that the cumulative total CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues, as defined below, are at least Eight Million dollars ($8,000,000.00) (“Minimum CVSR Tax Revenues”) on or before the True-Up Date (defined below). If, as of the True-Up Date, the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues received by County are less than the Minimum CVSR Tax Revenues, then HPR-II shall make a payment to the County in the amount of the difference (the “CVSR True-Up Obligation”).
(b)    For purposes of this Agreement, the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues shall include receipts into the following funds: The City and County Operations Fund (0.75% of the sales/use tax and referenced herein as the “Bradley Burns Tax”), the State Fiscal Recovery Fund (0.25% of the sales/use tax and referenced herein as the “Triple-Flip Tax”), and the State Local Public Safety Fund (0.50% of the sales/use tax, excluding the portion of such receipts that are required by State law to be allocated to cities within the County, referenced herein as the “Proposition 172 Tax”). The CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues shall be calculated and accounted for in accordance with Sections l.B.(6) and (7), below.
(2)    Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation. If. as of the True-Up Date, no building permit for construction of any portion of the Topaz Solar Farm Project, another solar PV electricity generation facility proposed to be located approximately five miles from the CVSR Project site (“Topaz Project”), which is the subject of a pending Conditional Use Permit
5

DRC2008-00009, has been issued by the County, then HPR-II shall make a payment to the County in the amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars ($2,500,000.00; the “Single Solar Project Minimum Tax Revenues”), less the amount, if any, by which the cumulative total CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues exceed the Minimum CVSR Tax Revenues (the “Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation”), to assure that, in this event, the County receives a total of Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars ($10,500,000.00) in CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues.

(3)     True-Up Date. The True-Up Date shall be three (3) years after final sign-off on all building permits issued for construction of the CVSR Project; provided, however, that HPR-II in its sole discretion may designate an earlier True-Up Date; and provided further that in no event shall the True-Up Date be later than December 31, 2016.

(4)    True-Up Payment Amount. On or before the True-Up Payment Date, HPR-II shall pay to County the sum of: The CVSR True-Up Obligation, if applicable, and the Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation, if applicable.
(5)    True-Up Payment Date. Payment of the CVSR True-Up Obligation, if applicable, and the Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation, if applicable, shall be due ninety (90) days after True-Up Date (the “True-Up Payment Date”). Payment shall be made by check drawn upon a U.S.-based bank or similar financial institution, paid in U.S. dollars, payable to “County of San Luis Obispo” and delivered to the County Administrative Officer by overnight courier or by wire funds. The County Administrative Officer shall provide wire instructions in writing upon HPR-II's written request.
(6)    Calculation of the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues.
(a)       The amount of the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues, for the purposes of establishing the amount of the CVSR True-Up Obligation, if any shall be determined using the following calculation:
(i)         The cumulative total amount of the Bradley Burns Tax portion of the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues as of the True-Up Date using the accounting and reporting methods described in Section l.B.(7), below; plus
(ii)        The cumulative total amount of Triple-Flip Tax portion of the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues as of the True-Up Date using the accounting and reporting methods described in Section 1B.(7), below; plus
(iii)
(1)       Unless Section l.B.(6)(d), below, applies, the sum of Section 1 .B.(6)(a)(i) and (ii), above, times a multiplier of 0.38, representing the minimum cumulative total amount of the Proposition 172 Tax portion of the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues expected to be recovered by the County from the total Proposition 172 taxes attributable to the construction of the CVSR Project paid to the State (excluding the portion of such receipts that are required by State law to be allocated to cities within the County); or,
6

 (2)       If Section 1.B.(6)(d), below, applies, the cumulative total County CVSR Proposition 172 Tax Revenues (as defined and calculated pursuant to that subsection).
(b)    In the event that any new taxes are established which are paid in connection with EPC Activities for the CVSR Project and which the County receives that are not otherwise accounted for in this Agreement (“New Tax”), such New Tax shall be considered additional CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues and the parties shall negotiate the proper amount or calculation to be used to account for the New Tax in determining he CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues.
(c)    In the event that the Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation is required, the amount of that obligation shall be determined using the following calculation:
(i)         Two Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars ($2,500,000.00); minus
(ii)        the amount, if any, by which the cumulative total CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues, calculated pursuant to Section l.B.(6)(a), above (and, if applicable, Section l.B.(6)(d), below), exceeds the Minimum CVSR Tax Revenues.
(d)    The parties acknowledge that the amount of the Proposition 172 Tax portion of the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues recovered by the County cannot be directly tracked due to the State's method for allocation of these tax payments. Accordingly, for purposes of this Agreement, where the CVSR True-Up Obligation or the Single Solar True-Up Obligation would be required if the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues are calculated pursuant to Section l.B.(6)(a)(i), (ii) and (iii)(l), and where HPR-II has so elected, in lieu of calculating the cumulative total amount of the Proposition 172 Tax portion of the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues recovered by the County pursuant to Section l.B.(6)(a)(iii)(l), the County shall calculate those revenues as described in this subsection.
(i)         Definitions. For purposes of this Section l.B.(6)(d), the following definitions shall apply:
(1)    “County Taxable Measure” means the dollar amount of San Luis Obispo County countywide taxable sales and purchases subject to use tax in a calendar year, determined from the sources of data described in Section l.B.(7)(a), (b) and (d), below.
(2)    “Statewide Taxable Measure” means the dollar amount of California statewide taxable sales and purchases subject to use tax in a calendar year, determined from the sources of data described in Section l.B.(7)(a), (b) and (d), below.
(3)    “Proposition 172 Factor” means the ratio calculated by dividing the County Taxable Measure by the Statewide Taxable Measure for a calendar year.
7

 (4)    “CVSR Taxable Measure” means the dollar amount of taxable sales and purchases subject to use tax in a calendar year, attributable to construction of the CVSR Project, derived from the sources of data described in Section  l.B.(7)(a), (b) and (d), below.

(5)    “No-CVSR County Taxable Measure” means the County Taxable Measure minus the CVSR Taxable Measure for a calendar year.

(6)    “No-CVSR Statewide Taxable Measure” means the Statewide Taxable Measure minus the CVSR Taxable Measure for a calendar year.

(7)    “No-CVSR Proposition 172 Factor” means the ratio calculated by dividing the No-CVSR County Taxable Measure by the No-CVSR Statewide Taxable Measure for a calendar year.

(8)    “Statewide Proposition 172 Tax Revenues” means the Proposition 172 tax revenues received by the state for a fiscal year.

(9)    “County Proposition 172 Tax Revenues” means the Proposition 172 tax revenues received by the County for a fiscal year, excluding the portion of such revenues that are required by State law to be allocated to cities within the County.
(10)    “County No-CVSR Proposition 172 Tax Revenues” means the portion of the County Proposition 172 Tax Revenues received by the County for a fiscal year that are not attributable to the construction of the CVSR Project.
(11)    “County CVSR Proposition 172 Tax Revenues” means the portion of the County Proposition 172 Tax Revenues received by the County for a fiscal year that are attributable to the construction of the CVSR Project.
(ii)       Calculation. The County CVSR Proposition 172 Tax Revenues shall be calculated as follows:
For each fiscal year, from the first fiscal year in which the County receives CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues, through the next fiscal year following the calendar year in which final sign-off on all building permits issued for construction of the CVSR Project occurs, the County Proposition 172 Tax Revenues shall be compared to a simulated scenario under which the CVSR Taxable Measure is excluded in order to determine the increase in the County Proposition 172 Tax Revenues that constitute the County CVSR Proposition 172 Tax Revenues.
The simulated scenario involves several steps, which are described below:
Step 1: The Proposition 172 Factor is calculated by the State Controller's Office with the results being provided to the County. To calculate the factor for a fiscal year, the State Controller's Office divides the County Taxable Measure for the calendar year prior to the start of that fiscal year into the Statewide Taxable Measure for the calendar year prior to the start of that fiscal year. (For example, the County Taxable Measure and the Statewide
8

Taxable Measure for calendar year 2009 is used to calculate the Proposition 172 Factor that will be applied for fiscal year July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011.)
Step 2: The State Controller's Office then multiplies the Statewide Proposition 172 Tax Revenues each month by the Proposition 172 Factor to determine the County Proposition 172 Tax Revenues for the month. The State Controller's Office then prepares and publishes on its website a schedule showing the Proposition 172 Factor, each month's Proposition 172 Tax Revenues, and the fiscal year-to-date total Proposition 172 Tax Revenues for each county.
Step 3: Determine the No-CVSR Statewide Taxable Measure for the calendar year prior to the fiscal year being calculated and the No-CVSR County Taxable Measure for the calendar year prior to the fiscal year being calculated, and calculate the No-CVSR Proposition 172 Factor.
Step 4: Multiply the No-CVSR Proposition 172 Factor times the Statewide Proposition 172 Revenues to calculate the “County No-CVSR Proposition 172 Tax Revenues.”
Step 5: Subtract the County No-CVSR Proposition 172 Tax Revenues from the County Proposition 172 Tax Revenues to determine the County CVSR Proposition 172 Tax Revenues for that fiscal year.
After completing the above steps for each applicable fiscal year, the amounts calculated in Step 5 for each such fiscal year shall be summed, and the resulting sum shall be deemed to be the cumulative total County CVSR Proposition 172 Tax Revenues, which shall be used in lieu of the 0.38 multiplier, described in Section l.B.(6)(a)(iii)(l), above, for the purposes of establishing the amount of the CVSR True-Up Obligation, if any.
(7)       Accounting and Reporting CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues.
County shall track and report its receipt of all CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues and shall use its best efforts to identify all CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues, including the following:
(a)    County shall procure reports from private tax analysis vendors (such as The HdL Companies) pertaining to the CVSR Project, the EPC Contractor and EPC Subcontractors, and shall review such reports, together with reports received from BOE and information submitted by HPR-II, to identify all CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues actually received by the County. Any amount of CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues withheld by the State as an administrative or processing fee shall not be identified as having been received by the County. County also shall review and verify with the State that sales or use tax payments made by the EPC Contractor and EPC Subcontractors have not been misallocated to the State pool.
(b)    Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter commencing upon issuance of the CUP and concluding in the calendar quarter in which the True-Up Date occurs, County shall provide HPR-II (at the address set forth for Notices in Section 8.N, below) a Quarterly Report listing all CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues received within the past calendar quarter and a cumulative total of all such funds received through the end of the reporting quarter. If CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues were received by the County and
9

documented in accordance with this section as received by the County prior to the first Quarterly Report, that first Quarterly Report shall report all such funds actually received by the County prior to that date, even if such funds were received prior to the reporting quarter, provided that the County is not required to include any such funds in its first Quarterly Report that it cannot document as having been received by the County. The last Quarterly Report shall report all funds received in the portion of the reporting quarter up to the True-Up Date; the last Quarterly Report shall be issued within sixty (60) days after the True-Up Date and shall cover the period to and including the True-Up Date, Each Quarterly Report shall separately list the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues for the reporting quarter by contractor or subcontractor and shall be accompanied by copies of appropriate supporting documentation pertaining to funds received; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the County to disclose information that is prohibited by law, except where authorization for release of information has been provided by the EPC Contractor and EPC Subcontractors as described in Section 1.A, above. Such supporting documentation shall include reports received by the County from BOE and reports procured by the County from private tax analysis vendors (such as The HdL Companies) pertaining to the CVSR Project, the EPC Contractor and EPC Subcontractors.
(c)    Until the final Quarterly Report, the County shall account for the Proposition 172 Tax portion of the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues using the calculation set forth in Section l.B.(6)(a)(iii)(l). In the final Quarterly Report, the County shall account for the Proposition 172 Tax portion in the same manner, unless the CVSR True-Up Obligation or the Single Solar True-Up Obligation would be required if the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues are calculated pursuant to Section l.B.(6)(a)(i), (ii) and (iii)(l), and HPR-II has made its election pursuant to Section l.B.(6)(d), in which case the County shall account in the final Quarterly Report using that calculation for the cumulative total amount of Proposition 172 Tax portion of the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues as provided in Section l.B.(6)(d).
(d)    To assist County's identification of CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues, within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar quarter for which a Quarterly Report is required, HPR-II shall provide County a list identifying the EPC Contactor and all EPC Subcontractors who may have paid sales or use tax that would produce CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues, together with the information reported to it by the EPC Contractor and EPC Subcontractors as to the amount of sales and use taxes they have reported on their Combined State and Local Sales and Use Tax Return related to the CVSR Project for the preceding calendar quarter, as described in Section 1.A, above.
(8)       Assurance of True-Up Payment. HPR-II shall secure payment of the CVSR True-Up Obligation and the Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation by providing the County with Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Tax LoCs;” individually, the “CVSR Tax LoC” and the “Single Solar Project Tax LoC,” respectively), issued by California banks or by non-California banks and subject to presentment at a California location, as follows:
(a)       The Tax LoCs shall be provided prior to the issuance of the first construction permit for the CVSR Project (“Tax LoCs Delivery Date”) as follows:
(i)        If, as of the Tax LoC Delivery Date, no building permit for construction of any portion of the Topaz Project has been issued, the initial amount of
10

the Single Solar Tax LoC shall be the amount of the Single Solar Project Minimum Tax Revenues (Two Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars ($2,500,000.00)). If, prior to the Tax LoC Delivery Date, a building permit for construction of any portion of the Topaz Project has been issued, the Single Solar Tax LoC shall not be provided.
(ii)        The initial amount of the CVSR Tax LoC shall be the amount of the Minimum CVSR Tax Revenues (Eight Million dollars ($8,000,000.00)), minus the cumulative total amount of CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues reported on the most recent Quarterly Report delivered by HPR-II to the CVSR Tax LOC issuer prior to the Tax LoCs Delivery Date.
(b)    The amount of the CVSR Tax LoC shall be reduced quarterly by the amount of CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues reported in the Quarterly Report for the most recent calendar quarter, with each such reduction effective upon delivery by HPR- II to the CVSR Tax LoC issuer of that Quarterly Report.
(c)    The Tax LoCs may be cancelled or extinguished upon, and shall be maintained until, the occurrence of the following:
(i)         For the CVSR Tax LoC, delivery by HPR-II to the CVSR Tax LoC issuer of: (1) a Quarterly Report showing receipt by the County of the Minimum CVSR Tax Revenues prior to the True-Up Date; or (2) evidence of the payment of the CVSR True-Up Obligation, together with a Quarterly Report showing cumulative total CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues that, together with such payment, equal the Minimum CVSR Tax Revenues.
(ii)        For the Single Solar Tax LoC, delivery by HPR-II to the Single Solar Tax LoC issuer of: (1) a copy of a building permit for construction of any portion of the Topaz Project prior to the True-Up Date; or (2) evidence of payment of the Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation, together with a Quarterly Report showing cumulative total CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues in excess of the Minimum CVSR Tax Revenues that, together with such payment, equal the Single Solar Project Minimum Tax Revenues.
(iii)       For both the CVSR Tax LoC and the Single Solar Tax LoC, not less than two (2) weeks advance notice by HPR-II to the County.
(d)    In the event that the CVSR True-Up Obligation and/or the Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation are owed and are not paid as of the True-Up Payment Date, the County may present a demand for payment to the issuer(s) of the Tax LOCs not sooner than fifteen (15) days after the True-Up Payment Date. If not earlier cancelled or extinguished, the Tax LoCs shall automatically expire if the County has not made presentation within sixty (60) days after the True-Up Payment Date.
(e)    HPR-II may replace the Tax LoCs with substitute Tax LoCs, provided that each replacement LoC meets all applicable requirements of this Section 1.B.(8).
11

(9)    Conditional Obligation. HPR-II's obligation to pay the CVSR True-Up Obligation and the Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation shall not arise unless construction of the CVSR Project (ground disturbance) has commenced.

(10)    Reduced Size CVSR Project. The CVSR True-Up Obligation and the Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation have been calculated based on an assumed project size of 250 MW-AC. If the CVSR Project size is reduced due to circumstances beyond HPR-II's control, the parties may negotiate a proportionate reduction of the amount of the CVSR True-Up Obligation and the Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation, provided that the County's costs of providing services attributable to the CVSR Project are recovered in any event.
C.        Dispute Resolution.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, prior to the provision of a Notice of Default under Section 6.A, below, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute as to the calculation of the CVSR Sales/Use Tax Revenues, the CVSR True-Up Obligation, the Single Solar Project True-Up Obligation, or otherwise arising under the provisions of this Section 1, through direct negotiation before pursuing litigation or any other dispute resolution procedure or remedy.
2.         Financial Assurances for Decommissioning.
A.    HPR-II shall establish a Decommissioning Fund, as further described below, to provide financial assurance that HPR-II will timely complete decommissioning and restoration activities to implement the Final Closure Plan for the CVSR Project site, required under CUP Condition of Approval No. 40(j), and to restore the Project site to its pre-Project conditions.
B.    The Decommissioning Fund shall consist of a series of four (4) Letters of Credit (“Decom LoCs”) issued by California banks or by non-California banks and subject to presentment at a California location. One (1) Decom LoC shall be provided to the County prior to the completion of each of the four (4) CVSR Project phases. The phases, and the time at which their corresponding Decom LoCs shall be provided, are as follows:
	
			
	Phase
	Megawatts of
capacity energized
	Deadline for Decom LoC to be provided to County

	Phase 1
	21 MWac
	Prior to final construction permit sign-off for the CVSR Project substation

	Phase 2
	63 MWac
	Prior to commencement of delivery of electricity from the phase

	Phase 3
	126 MWac
	Prior to commencement of delivery of electricity from the phase

	Phase 4
	40 MWac
	Prior to commencement of delivery of electricity from the phase

HPR-II shall provide County with not less than two (2) weeks advance notice prior to commencement of delivery of electricity for Phases 2, 3 and 4.
12

C.    The amount of the Decommissioning Fund shall be calculated to fully implement the Final Closure Plan submitted to the County prior to the issuance of a construction permit as part of the HRRP pursuant to CUP Condition of Approval No. 40(j) and to restore the Project site to its pre-Project conditions. HPR-II shall pay for the County to retain a third party expert to review the submitted Final Closure Plan and confirm the adequacy of the Decommissioning Fund based on the cost estimate in the Final Closure Plan and any other considerations required to assure that the Project site is restored to its pre-Project conditions. For purposes of determining the amount of each of the Decom LoCs, the Final Closure Plan shall allocate the Decommissioning Fund based on the cost of the decommissioning and restoration activities for each of the four (4) CVSR Project phases.
D.    The Decommissioning Fund shall be adjusted for inflation every three (3) years, based on the Producer Price Index for New Industrial Building Construction published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and also shall be adjusted for any updates to the Final Closure Plan.
E.    The County shall be entitled to use the Decommissioning Fund to implement the Final Closure Plan and to restore the Project site to its pre-Project conditions in the event that HPR-II does not timely or properly implement the Final Closure Plan or restore the Project site to its pre-Project conditions. The term “reasonable time” as used in this Section 2.E shall mean no more than nine (9) months after the County notifies HPR-II in writing that decommissioning of the CVSR Project is required; provided, however, that such notice may not be given prior to (i) expiration of the CUP, (ii) permanent cessation of operations for the CVSR Project, or (iii) a final decision by the County to revoke the CUP pursuant to San Luis Obispo County Code § 22.74.160 (or any successor provision).
F.    The County may present a demand for payment to the issuer(s) of the Decomm LoCs not sooner than fifteen (15) days after notice to HPR-II that it has failed to timely or properly implement the Final Closure Plan or restore the Project site to its pre-Project conditions. If not earlier cancelled or extinguished, the Tax LoCs shall automatically expire if the County has not made presentation within sixty (60) days after such notice.
G.    The Decomm LoCs may be cancelled or extinguished upon, and shall be maintained until, delivery by HPR-II or County to the issuer(s) of the Decomm LoCs of evidence that the County has approved the completion of the Final Closure Plan and restoration of the Project site to pre-Project conditions.
H.        HPR-II may replace the Decom LoCs with substitute Decom LoCs, provided that each replacement LoC meets all applicable requirements of this Section 2.
I.         In the event that HPR-II does not timely or properly implement the Final Closure Plan or restore the Project site to pre-Project conditions for whatever reason, the County undertakes to do so, and the Decommissioning Fund is inadequate to fully complete implementation of that plan and restoration of the site, HPR-II shall be liable for any amount expended by the County over the Decommissioning Fund balance.
13

3.         Calculation and Payment of Impact Fees.
The County has determined that certain elements of the CVSR Project require payment of impact fees pursuant to the following County Ordinances or other laws:  (i) Inclusionary Housing Fees (“IHF”), pursuant to San Luis Obispo County Code § 22.12.080 and Title 29; (ii) Public Facilities Fees (“PFF”), pursuant to San Luis Obispo County Code Title 18 and Ordinances adopted thereunder; and applicable School Fees (collectively, “Impact Fees”). Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Conditions of Approval of the CUP, as of the date of approval of the CUP, there are no other currently existing County impact fee Ordinances applicable to the CVSR Project.
The parties agree, and the Planning Director has determined, that the following Project Elements are subject to Impact Fees and shall be characterized according to the following Impact Fee Schedule:

No other elements of the CVSR Project are currently subject to Impact Fees.
The square footage estimates set forth above shall be adjusted for actual square footage of structures. These amounts shall be calculated based on square footages shown on approved construction plans for the applicable building permit.
The amount of the Impact Fees for each Project Element subject to such fees, as listed above, shall be calculated based on the fee rates per square foot adopted by the County and in effect at time of issuance of the applicable building permit for that Project Element according to the land use characterization set forth above. The date for payment of each portion of the Impact Fees shall be the latest date that such payment is otherwise due under the then-applicable County regulations for the fee, unless HPR-II elects to pay earlier.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that School Fees are assessed by the Atascadero School District and are not within the County's control.
4.         Covenant Not To Challenge; Waiver.
HPR-II and County agree that this Agreement and the Conditions of Approval in the CUP requiring this Agreement are a valid exercise of the County's land use regulatory authority. HPR-II covenants and agrees that it shall not, under any circumstances, assert any challenge to the legality of this Agreement or the Conditions of Approval in the CUP requiring this
14

Agreement as an invalid exercise of the County's land use regulatory authority in any civil or writ proceeding and hereby waives and relinquishes any right it may have to do so. Additionally, HPR-II waives any right to appeal the designation of the Project Elements or characterization of the Project Elements, set forth in Section 3, for calculation of the Impact Fees.
5.    Agreement Part of Permit; Assignment and Assumption.
A.    From and after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall be deemed automatically to be a part of the CUP and shall be deemed to be assigned to any successor holder of the CUP as of the effective date of transfer of the CUP.
B.    Prior to any transfer of the CUP to any successor holder, HPR-II and such successor shall execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to this Agreement, pursuant to which the successor agrees to be bound by all obligations, responsibilities and duties of HPR-II hereunder, and shall deliver a copy thereof to the County; provided, however, that the failure to comply with this Section 5.B shall not modify the effect of Section 5.A, above. The parties agree that the execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 will satisfy this Section 5.B.
C.    Any other assignment of this Agreement shall require the express consent of the parties.
6.    Enforcement; Default.
A.    Notice of Default. Failure or unreasonable delay in the performance of any material provision herein shall constitute a default under this Agreement. In the event of a default, the party alleging such default shall give the defaulting party not less thirty (30) days' written notice of default (“Notice of Default”). The Notice of Default shall specify the nature of the alleged default and a reasonable manner and period of time in which said default may be satisfactorily cured. A Notice of Default shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 8.N, below.
B.    Cure Period. Within thirty (30) days of the date a Notice of Default is given, the defaulting party shall provide evidence establishing it was never, in fact, in default or shall cure the default; provided, however, that if the nature of the alleged default is such that it cannot be reasonably cured within such 30-day period, the commencement of the cure within such time period and the diligent prosecution to completion of the cure shall be deemed a cure within such period. During any period of curing, the party charged shall not be considered in default for purposes of enforcement of this Agreement. If the default is cured, then no default shall exist or be deemed to have existed and the noticing party shall take no further action. After proper notice and the expiration of such cure period without cure, enforcement may be undertaken as set forth herein.
C.    Enforcement. This Agreement may be enforced as a contract with all applicable remedies at law or equity. In addition to any other remedies available to the County, County may enforce this Agreement as part of the CUP in the same manner and to the same extent as may be applied to the enforcement of a Condition of Approval in the CUP pursuant to
15

applicable law. Either party may avail themselves of the remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or equity.
D.        Enforced Delay: Extension of Time of Performance. No party shall be deemed in default of its obligations under this Agreement where a delay or default is due to an act of God, natural disaster, accident, breakage or failure of equipment, enactment of conflicting federal or state laws or regulations, third-party litigation, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or disputes of interruption of services by suppliers thereof, unavailability of materials or labor, rationing or restrictions on the use of utilities or public transportation whether due to energy shortages or other causes, war, civil disturbance, riot, or by any other severe and unforeseeable occurrence that is beyond the control of that party (collectively, “Enforced Delay”); provided, however, the parties agree a delay that results solely from unforeseen economic circumstances shall not constitute an Enforced Delay for purposes of this Section 6.D. Performance by a party of its obligations under this Agreement shall be excused during, and extended for a period of time equal to, the period (on a day-for-day basis) for which the cause of such Enforced Delay is in effect.

Form of Materials and Equipment Supply Agreement

[Form of] MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT SUPPLY AGREEMENT

This Materials and Equipment Supply Agreement (this "Agreement") is made effective as of [_______ __], 2011 (the “Effective Date”) between High Plains Ranch II, LLC ("Owner") and SunPower Corporation, Systems ("Supplier").  (Owner and Supplier are sometimes referred to individually as “Party” and collectively as “Parties”.)   

WHEREAS, Owner and Supplier (the latter in its capacity as Contractor) have entered into that certain Engineering, Procurement and Construction Agreement dated [_______ __], 2011 (the “EPC Contract”) for the construction of the Plant, including the supply of PV Plant Hardware (as defined in the EPC Contract).

WHEREAS, Owner and Supplier, have agreed certain PV modules that satisfy the requirements of Section 9.5 of the EPC Contract (“PV Modules”) and/or certain inverter equipment that satisfies the requirements of Section 9.4 of the EPC Agreement (“Inverter Equipment”), which are part of the PV Plant Hardware to be incorporated into the Plant, will be procured by Supplier for Owner under this Agreement, rather than under the EPC Contract, on the terms hereunder.

NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which each Party acknowledges, the Parties agree as follows:

		
	1.
	DEFINED TERMS

Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meaning given such terms in the EPC Contract.   

		
	2.
	SCOPE OF PLANT HARDWARE DELIVERED

(a)     Consistent with that certain written notice from Owner to Supplier, originally dated _____, 2011 provided pursuant to Section 9.6.1 of the EPC Agreement (the “Owner Notice”), attached to this Agreement as Schedule A, Supplier shall supply and deliver to Owner, or shall cause the separate delivery and sale to Owner from the vendor of PV Modules and/or Inverter Equipment having an aggregate purchase price specified in the Owner Notice, which PV Modules and/or Inverter Equipment are to be incorporated into such Phase(s) of the PV Power Plant as described in the Owner Notice.  

(b)     Supplier hereby specifies in Schedule B attached to this Agreement (and the Owner Notice is deemed amended to reflect this specification) that quantity of PV Modules and/or Inverter Equipment (collectively, the “Separate PV Plant Hardware Components”) required to be separately sold under this Agreement in order to result in the net aggregate price of such Separate PV Plant Hardware Components to equal the amounts specified below for each Phase:  

Phase I:        *** 

Phase II:    ***, and

Phase III:    ***, and

Phase IV:    ***.

Supplier shall take sufficient steps to identify each item of Separate PV Plant Hardware Componet by 

*** CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

Exhibit EE
Form of Materials and Equipment Supply Agreement

specific serial number and to maintain that specific identification (including the ability to track the location and use of each Separate PV Plant Hardware Component) for the Separate PV Plant Hardware Components to be incorporated into each Phase, including specifically identifying such Separate PV Plant Hardware Components by separate serial number during delivery to, storage at and delivery from any warehouse agreed to pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.
		
	3.
	SCOPE OF AGREEMENT

Except as specifically set forth herein, the obligations of the Parties relating to the procurement, delivery and installation of, and payment for, the Separate PV Plant Hardware Components, as well as all warranty obligations related to the Separate PV Plant Hardware Components, shall be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the EPC Contract.  Except as specifically set forth herein, nothing herein shall limit or expand the rights, duties or obligations, including warranty obligations related to the Separate PV Plant Hardware Components, of either Party under the EPC Contract. The Parties agree that where there is a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the EPC Contract (including, without limitation, the passage of title and risk of loss and applicable limitations upon remedies and damages), the provisions of this Agreement shall control.  

		
	4.
	PROVISION OF SEPARATE PV PLANT HARDWARE COMPONENTS 

Supplier hereby agrees to deliver, or cause delivery, of the Separate PV Plant Hardware Components to a warehouse or other location as shall be reasonably agreed to by Owner and Supplier not later than *** months following the time that payment is made for the relevant Separate PV Plant Hardware Components pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement.  To the extent that such delivery is to a bonded warehouse within or outside of the United States or the manufacturing facility of an affiliate of the Supplier, the parties agrees that such warehouse or affiliate will act as a warehouseman bailee for the Owner.  ***  

5.    PAYMENT

The amount and timing of payment due for the Separate PV Plant Hardware Components is set forth in Schedule C of this Agreement (the “Separate PV Plant Hardware Component Price”).  The payments made hereunder are exclusive of any sales, use, gross receipts and compensating Taxes, the liability for which shall be determined under Section 11 of this Agreement.  All amounts paid under this Agreement, excluding any payment or reimbursement for sales, use, gross receipts and compensating Taxes, shall be credited toward the Contract Price under the EPC Contract.  For the avoidance of doubt, none of Owner, its Affiliates or assignees of this Agreement shall retain any kind of security interest over the payments made for the Separate PV Plant Hardware Components.

*** CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

Form of Materials and Equipment Supply Agreement

		
	6.
	TERMINATION

This Agreement shall be deemed automatically terminated upon any termination of the EPC Contract in respect of any Separate PV Plant Hardware Components for which no payment has been made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not terminate, but shall continue, in respect of those Separate PV Plant Hardware Components for which Owner has made any payment under Section 5 of this Agreement, notwithstanding the termination of the EPC Contract or the resulting termination for any Separate PV Plant Hardware Components for which no payment has been made by Owner, pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.  Owner shall not have the remedy of returning any nonconforming PV Modules or Inverter Equipment for a full refund upon breach or cancellation of this Agreement.

		
	7.
	TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

Owner shall take title to the PV Modules and/or Inverter Equipment sold to it under this Agreement upon delivery of the PV Modules and/or Inverter Equipment to the warehouse or other agreed-upon storage location, as set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, and Owner shall assume risk of loss, damage or destruction, for such PV Modules and/or Inverter Equipment upon that delivery.  Supplier shall be responsible for any loss or damage to PV Modules and/or Inverter Equipment that are separately sold under this Agreement due to the failure of the Supplier to properly preserve, package, or handle those PV Modules or Inverter Equipment.  

		
	8.
	LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND REMEDIES 

(a)     The aggregate damages or liability incurred by a Party in respect of its obligations under this Agreement shall be determined as provided under the EPC Contract; provided that in no event shall any limitation on such aggregate damages or liability in respect of breach of an obligation under this Agreement be  less than *** of the amount due and payable to Supplier for the Separate PV Plant Hardware Components under Section 5 of this Agreement; and provided, further, that in the event payment of damages or liability under this Section 8(a) would otherwise cause the aggregate damages or liability incurred by a Party in respect of its obligations under both this Agreement and under the EPC Contract to exceed the maximum amounts provided under the EPC Contract, the relevant damages payable or liability under Section 8(a) shall not be reduced, but the relevant damages payable or liability due under the EPC Contract shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by such excess amount; and 

(b)    Supplier shall have no responsibility for Owner's obtaining the Cash Grant and under no circumstances shall Supplier incur any liability, including direct or consequential damages, as a result of Owner's failure to apply for, obtain, or continue to be eligible for the Cash Grant, except to the extent provided in the EPC Contract.  

		
	9.
	GOVERNING LAW

Interpretation of this Agreement and performance thereof shall be determined by the internal laws of the State of State of California, excluding any of its conflicts of laws provisions that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.  Any dispute or matter in question between the Parties arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 33.2 of the EPC Contract.

If one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be found, by a court with proper jurisdiction, to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.  The Parties agree to attempt to substitute for any illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision a legal, valid or enforceable provision that achieves to the greatest extent possible the economic objectives of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the obligations and rights under this Agreement are divisible from the Work and Services provided and/or sold under the EPC Agreement. The Parties also agree that this Agreement is divisible in respect of the obligations and rights for each Separate PV Plant Hardware Component sold under this Agreement.   

		
	11.
	TAXES

Liability for all Taxes relating to the deliveries, payments and performance of other obligations under the Agreement shall be determined as if such deliveries, payments and performance of obligations were made as part of the EPC Contract, and not under this separate Agreement.  

		
	12.

Contractor's Letter of CreditExhibit 10.1 - Change of Control Agreement - Barden

Exhibit 10.1
EXECUTIVE CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT
August 2, 2012
Fred Barden     Executive

RadiSys Corporation, an Oregon corporation 
5445 NE Dawson Creek Parkway 
Hillsboro, OR 97124    the Company
1.Employment Relationship.  Executive is currently employed by the Company as Vice President Global Sales.  Executive and the Company acknowledge that either party may terminate this employment relationship at any time and for any or no reason, provided that each party complies with the terms of this Agreement.
2.    Release of Claims.  In consideration for and as a condition precedent to receiving the severance benefits outlined in this Agreement, Executive agrees to execute a Release of Claims in the form attached as Exhibit A ("Release of Claims").  Executive promises to execute and deliver the Release of Claims to the Company within 21 days (or, if required by applicable law, 45 days) from the last day of Executive's active employment.  Executive shall forfeit the severance benefits outlined in this Agreement in the event that he fails to execute and deliver the Release of Claims to the Company in accordance with the timing and other provisions of the preceding sentence or revokes such Release of Claims prior to the "Effective Date" (as such term is defined in the Release of Claims) of the Release of Claims.
3.    Additional Compensation Upon Certain Termination Events.
3.1    Change of Control.  In the event of a Termination of Executive's Employment (as defined in Section 6.1), and provided such Termination of Executive's Employment occurs within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control (as defined in Section 6.3 of this Agreement) or within three (3) months preceding a Change of Control, and contingent upon Executive's execution of the Release of Claims without revocation within the time period described in Section 2 above and compliance with Section 9, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:
(a)    As severance pay and in lieu of any other compensation for periods subsequent to the date of termination, the Company shall pay Executive, in a lump sum, an amount equal to nine (9) months of Executive's annual base pay at the highest annual rate in effect at any time within the 12-month period preceding the date of termination.  Severance pay that is payable under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive within 5 days following the Effective Date of the Release of Claims, and no later than two and one-half months following the last day of the calendar year of the Termination of Executive's Employment.
(b)    As an additional severance benefit, the Company will provide Executive with up to nine (9) months of continued coverage (100% paid by the Company) pursuant to COBRA under the Company's group health plan at the level of benefits (whether single or family coverage) previously elected by Executive immediately before the Termination of Executive's Employment and to the extent that Executive elects to continue coverage during such 9-month period.  Each month for which the Company pays COBRA premiums directly reduces the total number of months of Executive’s COBRA continuation entitlement.
(c)    The Company shall pay Executive his stock-based incentive compensation plan payout under the RadiSys Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan pursuant to the terms of and within the periods specified in the Long Term Incentive Plan and shall pay Executive his stock-based incentive compensation plan payout under 

    1

each other stock-based incentive compensation plan maintained by the Company pursuant to the terms of and within the periods specified in each such other stock-based incentive compensation plan that may then be applicable.  The Company shall also pay Executive his cash-based incentive compensation plan payout earned but not yet received under each cash-based incentive compensation plan maintained by the Company, if any, for any performance period completed prior to the Termination of Executive's Employment.  In addition, the Company shall pay Executive his cash-based incentive compensation plan payout for any then current performance period under each such cash-based incentive compensation plan, provided that such payout shall not exceed the payout at target performance, pro-rated through the date of the Termination of Executive's Employment.  The amounts described in this Section (c), if any, shall be paid on the date Executive would otherwise have received each such payment if his employment had not been terminated and, in any event, no later than two and one-half months following the last day of the calendar year for which the cash-based incentive compensation plan payout was earned.
3.2    Parachute Payments.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total payments and benefits to be paid to or for the benefit of Executive under this Agreement (the "Payment") would cause any portion of those payments and benefits to be "parachute payments" as defined in Code Section 280G(b)(2), or any successor provision, the total payments and benefits to be paid to or for the benefit of Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced by the Company to the Reduced Amount.  The "Reduced Amount" shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would otherwise result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 (the "Excise Tax") or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax.  If a reduction in payments or benefits is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order: first by reducing or eliminating the portion of the Payment that is payable in cash, second by reducing or eliminating the portion of the Payment that is not payable in cash (other than Payments as to which Treasury Regulations Section 1.280G-1 Q/A – 24(c) (or any successor provision thereto) applies (“Q/A-24(c) Payments”)), and third by reducing or eliminating Q/A-24(c) Payments.  In the event that any Q/A-24(c) Payment or acceleration is to be reduced, such Q/A-24(c) Payment shall be reduced or cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the awards.  The independent public accounting firm serving as the Company's auditing firm immediately prior to the effective date of the Change of Control (the "Accountants") shall make in writing in good faith, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2, all calculations and determinations under this Section, including the assumptions to be used in arriving at such calculations and determinations, whether any payments are to be reduced, and the manner and amount of any reduction in the payments.  For purposes of making the calculations and determinations under this Section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Code Sections 280G and 4999.  Executive shall furnish to the Accountants and the Company such information and documents as the Accountants or the Company may reasonably request to make the calculations and determinations under this Section.  The Company shall bear all fees and costs the Accountants may reasonably charge or incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section.  The Accountants shall provide its determination, together with detailed supporting calculations regarding any relevant matter, both to the Company and to Executive by no later than ninety (90) days following the Termination of Executive's Employment.  
4.    Withholding; Subsequent Employment.
4.1    Withholding.  All payments provided for in this Agreement are subject to applicable withholding obligations imposed by federal, state and local laws and regulations.
4.2    Offset.  The amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer after termination.
5.    Other Agreements.  Any cash severance pay paid to Executive under any other agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (including but not limited to any employment agreement, but excluding for this purpose any stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, 

2

performance share, performance unit or other similar award agreement that may provide for accelerated vesting or related benefits) shall reduce the amount of cash severance pay payable under this Agreement.
6.    Definitions.
6.1    Termination of Executive's Employment.  Termination of Executive's Employment means that (i) the Company has terminated Executive's employment with the Company (including any subsidiary of the Company) other than for Cause (as defined in Section 6.2), death or Disability (as defined in Section 6.4), or (ii) Executive, by written notice to the Company, has terminated his employment with the Company (including any subsidiary of the Company) for Good Reason (as defined below).  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means:
(a)    a material reduction by the Company or the surviving company in Executive's base pay from the highest annual rate in effect at any time within the 12-month period preceding the Change of Control, other than a salary reduction that is part of a general salary reduction affecting employees generally; or
(b)    a material change in the geographic location where Executive is based, provided that such change is more than 25 miles from where Executive's office is located immediately prior to the Change of Control, except for required travel on Company business to an extent substantially consistent with the business travel obligations which Executive undertook on behalf of the Company immediately prior to the Change of Control.
An event described above will not constitute Good Reason unless Executive provides written notice to the Company of Executive's intention to resign for Good Reason and specifying in reasonable detail the breach or action giving rise thereto within 90 days of its initial existence and the Company does not cure such breach or action within 30 days after the date of Executive's notice.  In no instance will a resignation by Executive be deemed to be for Good Reason if it is made more than 12 months following the initial occurrence of any of the events that otherwise would constitute Good Reason hereunder.
A  Termination of Executive's Employment is intended to mean a termination of employment which constitutes a "separation from service" under Code Section 409A.  If any payments are to be made within a specified period of time or during a calendar year, the date of such payment shall be in the sole discretion of the Company, and Executive shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of payment.
6.2    Cause.  Termination of Executive's Employment for "Cause" shall mean termination upon (a) the willful and continued failure by Executive to perform substantially Executive's reasonably assigned duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Company, which specifically identifies the manner in which the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Company believes that Executive has not substantially performed Executive's duties or (b) the willful engaging by Executive in illegal conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company.  No act, or failure to act, on Executive's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive without reasonable belief that Executive's action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.  Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in the best interests of the Company.
6.3    Change of Control.  A Change of Control shall mean that one of the following events has taken place:
(a)    The shareholders of the Company approve one of the following:
(i)    Any merger or statutory plan of exchange involving the Company ("Merger") in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a Merger involving the 

    3

Company in which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger continue to represent more than 50 percent of the voting securities of the surviving corporation after the Merger; or
(ii)    Any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
(b)    A tender or exchange offer, other than one made by the Company, is made for Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) and such offer results in a portion of those securities being purchased and the offeror after the consummation of the offer is the beneficial owner (as determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), directly or indirectly, of securities representing more than 50 percent of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company.
(c)    The Company receives a report on Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act reporting the beneficial ownership by any person, or more than one person acting as a group, of securities representing more than 50 percent of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company, except that if such receipt shall occur during a tender offer or exchange offer described in (b) above, a Change of Control shall not take place until the conclusion of such offer.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement by virtue of any transaction which results in Executive, or a group of persons which includes Executive, acquiring, directly or indirectly, securities representing 20 percent or more of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company.
6.4    Disability.  "Disability" means Executive's absence from Executive's full-time duties with the Company for 180 consecutive calendar days as a result of Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, as determined by Executive’s attending physician and in accordance with the Company’s Medical Leave of Absence Policy, unless within 30 days after notice of termination by the Company following such absence Executive shall have returned to the full-time performance of Executive's duties.  This Agreement does not apply if the Executive is terminated due to Disability.
7.    Successors; Binding Agreement.  This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive's legal representatives, executors, administrators and heirs.
8.    Entire Agreement.  The Company and Executive agree that the foregoing terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company under the conditions described in Section 3.1, that this Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior agreements relating to the matters covered by this Agreement, specifically the Severance Agreement and Change of Control, and that there exist no other agreements between the parties, oral or written, express or implied, relating to any matters covered by this Agreement.  Further, Executive agrees to waive any entitlement to any severance or other payment under any such agreement and that such waiver shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and any third parties.
9.    Resignation of Corporate Offices; Reasonable Assistance.  Executive will resign Executive's office, if any, as a director, officer or trustee of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates and of any other corporation or trust of which Executive serves as such at the request of the Company, effective as of the date of termination of employment.  Executive further agrees that, if requested by the Company or the surviving company following a Change of Control, Executive will continue his employment with the Company or the surviving company for a period of up to six months following the Change of Control in any capacity requested, consistent with Executive's area of expertise, provided that Executive receives the same salary and substantially the same benefits as in effect prior to the Change of Control.  Executive agrees to provide the Company such written resignation(s) and assistance upon request and that no severance pay or other benefits will be paid until after such resignation(s) or services are provided.

10.    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.
11.    Amendment.  No provision of this Agreement may be modified unless such modification is agreed to in writing signed by Executive and the Company.
12.    Severability.  If any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such unenforceable term had never been contained in this Agreement.
13.    Code Section 409A.  This Agreement and the severance pay and other benefits  provided hereunder are intended to qualify for an exemption from Code Section 409A, provided, however, that if this Agreement and the severance pay and other benefits provided hereunder are not so exempt, they are intended to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent applicable thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed consistent with this intent, provided that the Company shall not be required to assume any increased economic burden in connection therewith.  Although the Company intends to administer this Agreement so that it will comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law.  Neither the Company, its subsidiaries, nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to Executive (or any other individual claiming a benefit through Executive) for any tax, interest, or penalties Executive may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect Executive from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.  If any payment or reimbursement, or portion thereof, under this Agreement would be deemed to be a deferral of compensation not exempt from the provisions of Code Section 409A and would be considered a payment upon a separation from service for purposes of Code Section 409A, and Executive is determined to be a "specified employee" under Code Section 409A, then any such payment or reimbursement, or portion thereof, shall be delayed until the date that is the earlier to occur of (i) Executive's death or (ii) the date that is six months and one day following the date of the Termination of Executive's Employment (the "Delay Period").  Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, the payments delayed pursuant to this Section 13 shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments due under this Section 13 shall be payable in accordance with their original payment schedule.
14.    Costs and Attorneys' Fees.  In the event of any administrative or civil action brought by Executive to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive's reasonable attorneys' fees through trial and/or on appeal.  The payment or reimbursement of expenses described in this Section 14 shall be made promptly and in no event later than December 31 of the year following the year in which such expenses were incurred, and the amount of such expenses eligible for payment or reimbursement in any year shall not affect the amount of such expenses eligible for payment or reimbursement in any other year nor shall such right to payment or reimbursement be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
15.    Prohibition on Acceleration of Payments.  The time or schedule of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may not be accelerated except as otherwise permitted under Code Section 409A and the guidance and Treasury regulations issued thereunder.
