STOCKHOLDERS
AGREEMENT

 

THIS
STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (as may be amended or modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is made and
entered into as of October 10, 2019, by and between OncoSec Medical Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
and Sirtex Medical US Holdings, Inc. (“Buyer”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS,
Buyer and the Company have entered into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement (the “SPA”);
and

 

WHEREAS,
the parties hereto have agreed that Buyer would receive certain rights, including with respect to the appointment of directors
to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), as set forth herein.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations and warranties, covenants and agreements set
forth in this Agreement and the SPA, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, effective as of the Closing (as defined in the SPA) the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.
Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the
respective meanings ascribed to them in the SPA.

 

For
purposes of this Agreement:

 

“Beneficial
Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership
of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such Rule (it being agreed that, in any event, a Person
shall be deemed to Beneficially Own securities owned by an Affiliate of such Person).

 

For
the avoidance of doubt, “Purchased Shares” shall have the meaning set forth in the SPA, and shall take into
account any Recapitalization event that may occur at any time.

 

2.
Board of Directors.

 

(a)
At the Closing, and thereafter, at any time that Buyer Beneficially Owns at least 40% of the Purchased Shares, Buyer shall have
the right to nominate one (1) (of the nine total) member to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 2 (the “Buyer
Director”), initially at the Closing, and thereafter at every annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company in which
directors are generally elected, including at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on any action by written consent
of the stockholders of the Company relating to the election of directors generally. The Buyer Director shall be appointed to authorized
committees of the Board of Directors in proportion with the Buyer Director’s representation on the Board of Directors. If
Buyer Beneficially Owns less than 40% of the Purchased Shares, Buyer shall have the right to nominate members to the Board of
Directors in proportion with Buyer’s ownership of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. Immediately prior to the Closing,
the Company shall cause the chair of the Board of Directors to be an independent director. The limitations on Buyer’s ability
to nominate and elect any number of directors to the Board of Directors shall terminate if a “group” (as defined under
the 1934 Act) or Person unaffiliated with Buyer Beneficially Owns 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(b)
The following procedures shall be followed with respect to the nomination of Buyer Director pursuant to this Section 2:

 

(i)
For purposes of whether Buyer has a right to nominate a Buyer Director pursuant to this Section 2, the Beneficial Ownership
of the Common Stock of Buyer will be initially measured as of the Closing and thereafter as of the record date for such annual
meeting or written consent.

 

(ii)
At least 20 days prior to the Closing, Buyer shall provide the Company with the identity of the initial Buyer Director to be appointed
to the Board of Directors as of the Closing (provided that Buyer may substitute such appointee by notice to the Company at least
20 days prior to the Closing). Following the initial appointment of Buyer Director, each year, the Company will notify Buyer when
it intends to hold its next Company’s annual meeting of stockholders at least 90 days prior to such meeting. With respect
to Buyer’s nominee (other than the initial Buyer Director), at least 60 days prior to the Company’s annual meeting
of stockholders, Buyer shall provide the Company with the Buyer’s nominee for the Buyer Director.

 

(iii)
The Board of Directors shall (1) in the case of the initial Buyer Director, appoint the Buyer Director as a member of the Board
of Directors effective as of the Closing to serve until the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders at which directors
will be generally elected, and (2) in the case of a subsequent Buyer Director, nominate such nominee to be elected as director
and recommend that the stockholders vote to elect such nominee at the next annual meeting of stockholders at which directors will
be generally elected.

 

(iv)
If Buyer nominee is not appointed, nominated or elected by the stockholders, then as soon as practicable after the Closing or
annual meeting, as applicable, Buyer shall designate a nominee for such Buyer Director, which nominee shall be appointed as director
by the Board of Directors promptly after such designation.

 

(c)
The Buyer Director will be governed by the same protections and obligations as all other directors of the Company, including,
without limitation, protections and obligations regarding customary liability insurance for directors and officers, confidentiality,
conflicts of interests, fiduciary duties (subject to Section 5), trading and disclosure policies, director evaluation process,
director code of ethics, director share ownership guidelines, stock trading and pre-approval policies, and other governance matters.
The Buyer Director agrees that he or she shall be bound by the Company’s insider trading policy. The Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that the Buyer Director is covered by liability insurance for directors with coverage that is at
least as favorable, in the aggregate, to such directors as the coverage provided for by insurance policies acquired by the Company
for the benefit of directors of the Company as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

 

    	2

    	 

    

 

(d)
The Buyer Director shall not be compensated for their service on the Board of Directors, but shall be reimbursed for expenses
incurred in connection with their service as a member of the Board of Directors.

 

3.
Voting Requirements.

 

(a)
Until such time that Buyer Beneficially Owns less than 40% of the Purchased Shares, none of the actions set forth in this Section
3 below shall be taken by, or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, the Company (or any Subsidiary thereof) without the approval
of at least 70% of the members constituting the entire Board of Directors:

 

(i)

(v)
Issuing, pledging, disposing of, transferring, encumbering, granting, selling or otherwise delivering, or authorizing the issuance,
pledge, disposal of, transfer, encumbrance, grant, sale or other delivery of, any Issuer Securities; provided, however,
that issuances of an Issuer Security pursuant to an Issuer Stock Option or Issuer Warrant existing as of the date hereof or under
the ESPP shall not require the approval of 70% of the Board of Directors or the consent of Buyer unless such issuance would result
in Buyer and Sirtex Medical US Holdings, Inc., in the aggregate, holding, directly or indirectly, less than 50.1% of any class
or series of Issuer Securities on a fully diluted basis (taking into account all options, warrants, convertible securities and
obligations to issue the same);

 

(vi)
Creating or incurring any indebtedness or Lien on any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ assets, in excess of $250,000;

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

(vii)
Selling, assigning, leasing, licensing or otherwise transferring, abandoning, disposing of or permitting to lapse any of the Company’s

(xi)

4.
Right of Participation.

 

(a)
Following the date of this Agreement until any time that Buyer Beneficially Owns less than 60% of the Purchased Shares, Buyer
shall have the right to purchase, on a pro rata basis, any New Securities that the Company may from time to time sell or issue.
For purposes hereof, “pro rata basis” shall mean a percentage of the New Securities equal to Buyer’s Beneficial
Ownership of the Company’s outstanding common stock expressed as a percentage as calculated immediately after the Closing.

 

(b)
The Company shall provide Buyer with written notice its intention to issue New Securities, which notice shall be provided, subject
to the Company’s reasonable best efforts, not less than 30 days prior to the date of such proposed issuance (the Company
will use reasonable efforts to provide longer notice, if possible) (such period between such notice and the date of such issuance
or the expected date of entry into such contract, if applicable, a “Notice Period”), and the Company shall
provide Buyer with written notice of the actual issuance of such New Securities not less than 24 hours prior to such issuance
(also, a “Notice Period”), including in each case, if applicable, a copy of the prospectus included in the
registration statement filed in respect of such offering or, in the case of an offering exempt from registration, the private
placement memorandum or similar offering documents or term sheet in respect of such offering, (i) describing (A) the anticipated
amount of New Securities, price (if reasonably known) and other available (or reasonably determinable) material terms upon which
the Company offers to sell New Securities, and (B) the number of New Securities Buyer is entitled to purchase pursuant to this
Section 4, and (ii) containing a binding offer to sell New Securities to Buyer subject to the consummation of such issuance.
If prior to any such issuance, there is a material change in the terms of such issuance, then prior to such issuance, the Company
shall provide Buyer with ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice describing such change (such period between such notice
and the date of such issuance, also a “Notice Period”).

 

(c)
Buyer may exercise its right to purchase any New Securities by providing written notice to the Company prior to the expiration
of the applicable Notice Period. Buyer’s notice must indicate the specific amount of New Securities that Buyer desires to
purchase and shall constitute exercise by Buyer of its rights under this Section 4 and a binding agreement of Buyer to
purchase the number (or amount) of New Securities specified in Buyer’s written notice. If, at the expiration of a Notice
Period, Buyer shall not have delivered written notice to the Company exercising its right to effect a purchase, Buyer shall be
deemed to have waived all of its rights under this Section 4 solely with respect to such specific issuance. Buyer shall
effect such purchase concurrently with such issuance (the date of consummation of such transactions, the “Preemptive
Rights Closing Date”).

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

(d)
Except as provided in Section 4(e), if the Company issues New Securities and Buyer exercises its right to purchase any
such New Securities, Buyer shall pay an amount in cash per security equal to the cash consideration per security paid by the other
purchasers of such New Securities in such issuance; provided that in the case of a private placement offering under Rule
144A of the 1933 Act or similar transaction, the price paid by Buyer shall not include (and shall be reduced by the amount of)
any underwriting or initial purchaser’s discount or fees (as disclosed in the final prospectus, offering memorandum or other
similar documentation) incurred by Issuer in a related public offering.

 

(e)
If the Company issues New Securities for non-cash consideration (or a combination of cash and non-cash consideration), and Buyer
exercises its right to purchase any such New Securities, Buyer shall pay in cash, per security in such purchase, the volume-weighted
average price per share of the Common Stock over the preceding 20 trading days (from the earlier of (i) the date of the Preemptive
Rights Closing Date and (ii) the date such issuance is publicly announced) on Nasdaq.

 

(f)
In the event that a proposed issuance of New Securities is terminated or abandoned by the Company without the issuance of any
New Securities, then Buyer’s purchase rights pursuant to this Section 4 shall also terminate as to such proposed
issuance, and any funds in respect thereof paid to the Company by Buyer shall be refunded promptly and in full.

 

(g)
“New Securities” shall mean any debt or equity securities of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company,
whether or not now authorized, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such debt or equity securities, and securities of any
type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable for such debt or equity securities; provided,
that the term “New Securities” does not include:

 

(i)
shares of the Company’s Common Stock (and/or options, rights or warrants for Common Stock) issued or issuable in connection
with an acquisition transaction or other merger and acquisition transaction, strategic alliance or partnering/licensing arrangement
that is approved by 80% of the members constituting the entire Board of Directors;

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

(ii)
any securities issuable upon exercise of any options, warrants or rights to purchase any securities of the Company outstanding
on the date of this Agreement;

 

(iii)
any securities issued pursuant to equity plans of the Company (including inducement awards or any arrangements in place as of
the date of this Agreement); and

 

(iv)
shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend.

 

5.
Corporate Opportunity Waiver.

 

To
the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Applicable Law, (i) the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the
Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented
to Buyer, the Buyer Director, any other Person or Persons who are, at the time, associated with or nominated by, or serving as
Representatives of Buyer, or the respective Affiliates of the foregoing parties (including their officers or directors who are
employees, officers, directors, managers, stockholders or members) (the “Covered Persons”), (ii) none of such
Covered Persons shall have any obligation to refrain from (a) engaging in similar activities or lines of business as the Company
or developing or marketing any products or services that compete, directly or indirectly, with those of the Company, (b) investing
or owning any interest publicly or privately in, serving as a director or officer of or developing a business relationship with,
any Person engaged in similar activities or lines of business as, or otherwise in competition with, the Company, (c) doing business
with any client or customer of the Company or (d) employing or otherwise engaging a former officer or employee of the Company,
and (iii) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any right to be offered any opportunity to participate or
invest in any venture engaged or to be engaged in by any Covered Person.

or
to such other address as may be hereafter communicated in writing by the parties hereto in a notice given in accordance with this
Section 9(d), which address shall then apply to the respective notice provisions of the SPA and all other Ancillary Agreements.

 

(e)
Severability. Each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable
Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision will
be ineffective only to the extent of such unenforceability or invalidity, and the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith
to modify this Agreement so that the unenforceable or invalid provision is replaced by such valid and enforceable provision which
the parties hereto consider, in good faith, to match as closely as possible the invalid or unenforceable provision and to achieve
the same or a similar economic effect and to give effect to the parties’ original intent. The remaining provisions of this
Agreement will continue to be binding and in full force and effect.

 

(f)
Assignment. No party hereto may assign, in whole or in part, or delegate all or any part of its rights, interests or obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. Any assignment or delegation made without such consent
will be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to (a) assign its rights under this Agreement to any one
of its Affiliates, and (b) assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) as collateral
security in a financing transaction.

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

(g)
Confidentiality Agreement. The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference and will
continue in full force and effect until expiration or termination in accordance with the terms therein.

 

(h)
Governing Law. Except to the extent that mandatory principles of Applicable Law require the application of the NRS, this
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any
choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York.

 

(i)
Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the other party would be irreparably damaged if the
provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms and that any breach of this Agreement and the non-consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby by either party could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone.
Accordingly, in addition to any remedy to which such other party may be entitled under Section 9(j), provisional measures
and injunctive relief necessary to protect the possibility of each party to seek specific performance from the other from the
tribunal referred to in Section 9(j) can be sought from any court of competent jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto
(i) agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of any such relief and (ii) hereby irrevocably waives any requirement for the
security or posting of any bond in connection with any such relief (it is understood that clause (i) of this sentence is
not intended to, and shall not, preclude any party hereto from litigating on the merits the substantive claim to which such remedy
relates).

 

(j)
Submission to Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter
arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought by any party or
any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be brought in the state or federal courts, as applicable,
in New York county in the State of New York, and each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such
courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Action and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by Law, any objection that you may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Action in any such court or that
any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such Action may be served
on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing,
each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 9(d) shall be deemed effective service of
process on such party.

 

(k)
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

    	10

    	 

    

 

(l)
Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit
thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party
waiving such term or condition, and no waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant
hereunder, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty, covenant or
agreement hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any such prior or subsequent occurrence. No failure or
delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no waiver by any party of
any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same
or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.

 

(m)
Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, by original or facsimile
(or other such electronically transmitted) signature, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute
one and the same instrument. A party executing this Agreement by facsimile (or other such electronically transmitted) signature
shall, upon request from the other party, promptly deliver to the requesting party an original counterpart of such signature.

 

(n)
Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies of each of the parties under this Agreement will be cumulative, and the exercise
of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement or
Applicable Law.

 

(o)
Interpretation. (a) The words “hereof”, “herein”, and “hereunder” and words of similar
import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement;
(b) the words “date hereof,” when used in this Agreement, shall refer to the date set forth in the Preamble; (c) the
terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa; (d) the terms defined in the
present tense have a comparable meaning when used in the past tense, and vice versa; (e) any references herein to a specific Section
or Article shall refer, respectively, to Sections or Articles of this Agreement; (f) wherever the word “include”,
“includes”, or “including” is used in this Agreement, it shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without
limitation”; (g) references herein to any gender include each other gender; (h) the word “or” shall not be exclusive;
(i) the headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed
to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof; (j) any references herein to any Governmental Authority shall be deemed
to also be a reference to any successor Governmental Authority thereto; and (k) the parties hereto have participated jointly in
the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event that an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises,
this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring
or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

2.9    Taxes.
(a)    Each of the Acquired Companies has been, at all times since its formation, a partnership or a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

2.12    Material Contracts.  Parts I, III, IV and V of Appendix D, and Appendix E, collectively set forth a list of all Material Contracts.  At or prior to the date hereof, Seller has provided Purchasers with, or access to, copies of all Material Contracts.  Except as otherwise set forth on Appendix D or Appendix E, each Material Contract is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each of the Acquired Companies party to such Material Contract and, to the Knowledge of Seller, each other party thereto, in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.  None of the Acquired Companies party to a Material Contract or, to the Knowledge of Seller, any other party thereto (A) is in breach of or default in any material respect under such Material Contract, or (B) has received any written notice of termination or suspension of such Material Contract.  To the Knowledge of Seller, no event has occurred and continuing which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a material breach of or default under a Material Contract or would give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, acceleration, amendment, suspension or revocation of a Material Contract, and to the Knowledge of Seller, no action is being taken by any Person to terminate or suspend any Material Contract.

2.13    Surface Use Action.  To the Knowledge of Seller, (a) no Mineral Rights Owner (as defined in the Holdings LLC Agreement) has initiated a Surface Use Action, and (b) no Surface Use Action has been threatened against the Project Company Real Property.  To the Knowledge of Seller, no Oil and Gas Operations (as defined in the Surface Use Agreements) are being conducted on the Project Company Real Property which would give rise to a Surface Use Action or otherwise 

8
1556004.16-WASSR01A - MSW

 

result in any Acquired Company being responsible for any Surface Use Violation Costs (as defined in the Holdings LLC Agreement).

2.14    Real Property.
(a)    The interests of the Project Company in all Project Company Real Property are insured under the Title Policy identified in Part II of Appendix D.  Except as set forth in Appendix C-2, none of the Acquired Companies owns any real property (other than the IRB Purchaser pursuant to the IRB Documents).  To the Knowledge of Seller, no Governmental Authority has commenced the exercise of any eminent domain or similar power with respect to any Project Company Real Property owned by the Project Company, and there are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceedings that affect any such Project Company Real Property.
(b)    The Project Company has good and marketable title to or, subject to the terms and conditions of the Material Leases, a valid leasehold interest or the right to use all Project Company Real Property, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.  With respect to the Project Company Real Property it leases or on which it was granted easements, servitudes or superficies pursuant to the Material Leases, the Project Company has peaceful and undisturbed exclusive or nonexclusive possession under all Material Leases, easements, servitudes or superficies under which they are leasing or occupying property in accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant Material Leases, easement, servitude or superficies and subject to the Permitted Liens.  All rents and other payments under the Material Leases have been paid in full to the extent due.
(c)    The Project Company Real Property is sufficient to provide the Project Company with continuous, uninterrupted and, together with public roads, contiguous access to the Wind Project sufficient for the operation and maintenance of the Wind Project as currently conducted.  All utility services necessary for the construction and operation of the Wind Project for its intended purposes are available or are reasonably expected to be so available as and when required upon commercially reasonable terms. 

2.15    Permits.  Appendix C-1 sets forth a list of all material Permits acquired or held by the Project Company in connection with the operation of the Wind Project.  The Project Company holds in full force and effect all Permits required for the operation of the Wind Project as presently conducted, other than those Permits required in connection with certain construction and maintenance activities which are ministerial in nature and can reasonably be expected to be obtained in due course on commercially reasonable terms and conditions as and when needed.  The Project Company is not in material default or material violation, and, to the Knowledge of Seller, no event has occurred and continuing which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a 

9
1556004.16-WASSR01A - MSW

 

material default or material violation of, or would give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, acceleration, amendment, suspension or revocation under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Permits held by the Project Company.  There are no legal proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened in writing, relating to the suspension, revocation or modification of any Permits held by the Project Company. 

2.16    Environmental Matters.  Except as set forth in the Environmental Report described in Part II of Appendix D, (i) each Acquired Company, the Project Company Real Property and the Wind Project are in material compliance with all Environmental Laws, (ii) none of the Acquired Companies has caused or contributed to the release of any Hazardous Substances in any material respect, and (iii) none of Seller or any of the Acquired Companies has received written notice from any Governmental Authority of any material Environmental Claim, or any written notice of any investigation, or any written request for information, in each case, under any Environmental Law.  Except as set forth in the Material Contracts, none of Seller or any of the Acquired Companies has given any release or waiver of liability that would waive or impair any material claim based on the presence of Hazardous Substances in, on or under any real property, against a previous owner of any real property or against any Person who may be potentially responsible for the presence of Hazardous Substances in, on or under any such real property.  

2.17    Insurance.  The Insurance Consultant’s Report described in Part II of Appendix D sets forth a list of all material insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Project Company (the “Insurance Policies”).  All Insurance Policies are now in full force and effect.  All premiums with respect to the Insurance Policies covering all periods to and including the date hereof have been paid and, with respect to premiums due and payable prior to Closing, will be so paid.  None of these Insurance Policies have lapsed and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there are no circumstances that have rendered such insurance unenforceable, void or voidable.  None of Seller or any of the Acquired Companies has received any written notice in the past 12 months from the insurer under any Insurance Policies disclaiming coverage, reserving rights with respect to a particular claim or such Insurance Policy in general or canceling or materially amending any such Insurance Policy.  The Acquired Companies’ assets and properties are insured in amounts no less than as required by applicable Law, applicable Permits or any Material Contract to which the Project Company is a party or by which its assets or properties are bound.

2.18    Sale Model.  The Sale Model has been prepared in good faith based on reasonable assumptions as to the estimates set forth therein and is consistent in all material respects with the provisions of the Material Contracts.  

2.19    Financial Statements; No Undisclosed Liabilities; No Material Adverse Effect.  The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis with prior periods, are correct and complete in all material respects and present fairly in accordance 

10
1556004.16-WASSR01A - MSW

 

with GAAP the assets, liabilities, financial condition and results of operations of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) as at their respective dates for the periods covered by the respective Financial Statements, in the case of the Financial Statements described in clause (b) of the definition thereof subject to the absence of footnote disclosure and normal year-end adjustments.  None of the Acquired Companies has any Indebtedness other than (a) as disclosed in the Financial Statements or pursuant to the Material Contracts, (b) incurred since the date of the Financial Statements under the IRB Documents listed in Part I of Appendix D or Contracts listed in Part III of Appendix D, (c) incurred after the date hereof in accordance with this Agreement, and (d) interest and fees accrued on any Indebtedness referred to in clause (a) after the date of the Financial Statements.  Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, none of the Acquired Companies has any material liabilities that would be required to be disclosed on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, other than any liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the Financial Statements and any liabilities contained in the Material Contracts (other than liabilities thereunder arising from a material breach thereof).  Since the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the Financial Statements, no Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

2.20    Personal Property.  The Project Company has good and valid title to (or a valid leasehold interest in) the Personal Property currently owned or used by the Project Company in the operation of the Wind Project (other than Personal Property that individually and in the aggregate are immaterial to such operations), and such title or leasehold interests are free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens.  All Personal Property that is material to the operation of the Wind Project is in good operating condition and repair, subject to normal wear and maintenance, and is usable in the ordinary course of business.

19

Indemnified Party for any Claim for breach of any representation or warranty unless and until the aggregate amount of all Claims for which it would, in the absence of this provision, be liable exceeds: (i) in the event that Seller is the Indemnifying Party, the Basket Amount, and (ii) in the event that a Purchaser is the Indemnifying Party, such Purchaser’s Percentage Portion of the Basket Amount, and in each such event the Indemnified Party will be liable for the amount of all Claims, including the Basket Amount; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the case of actual fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Indemnifying Party.

The Indemnified Party’s failure to give a Third Party Claim Notice in compliance with this Section 6.4(a) of any Third Party Claim which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party unless, and solely to the extent that, the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
(b)    The Indemnifying Party (x) shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim with the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, in each case at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense (provided that prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must acknowledge its indemnity obligations under this Article 6), and (y) in the case of Seller, shall control the NRS Notice of Pendency Proceedings (subject to the rights of the Indemnified Party under this Agreement), and in each case the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense or proceeding.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with separate counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof; provided that in such event the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (x) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim, (y) if such Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to be materially detrimental to the business, reputation or future prospects of any Indemnified Party or (z) if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest.

21
1556004.16-WASSR01A - MSW

 

Pendency Proceedings, (iv) otherwise breaches any of its obligations under this Article 6 or (v) as set forth on Schedule 6.4(b) hereto, or if the Third Party Claim is reasonably expected by the Indemnified Party to result in a payment obligation on the Indemnified Party in an amount that exceeds the maximum indemnification then available to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 6, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of such Third Party Claim or the NRS Notice of Pendency Proceedings and the Indemnified Party may (by written notice to the Indemnifying Party) assume control of such defense or the NRS Notice of Pendency Proceedings (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party). The parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim and with the NRS Notice of Pendency Proceedings.
(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim or the NRS Notice of Pendency Proceedings without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 6.4(c).  If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim that (i) does not (A) result in any liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and (B) result in the loss of any right or benefit on the part of any Indemnified Party, (ii) does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, and (iii) provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such firm offer, then the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within twenty (20) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within such twenty (20) day period and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense or the NRS Notice of Pendency Proceedings pursuant to Section 6.4(b), it may settle the Third Party Claim and the NRS Notice of Pendency Proceedings; provided that if the settlement is made without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnity obligation pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to such Third Party Claim or NRS Notice of Pendency Proceedings, as applicable.

6.5    Mitigation; Treatment of Indemnification.
(a)    The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses relating to a Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Article 6.

22
1556004.16-WASSR01A - MSW

 

(b)    All indemnification payments under this Article 6 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

6.6    Exclusive Remedy.  Seller and Purchasers acknowledge and agree that, should the Closing occur, and excluding liability for actual fraud or willful misrepresentation, the foregoing indemnification provisions of this Article 6 and the provisions of Section 7.16 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and Purchasers with respect to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement (other than any Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment set forth in Part I of Appendix B) or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, effective as of the Closing each of the Purchasers and Seller covenants to the other party that, in respect of any matters under or contemplated in this Agreement, it will not make any Claim whatsoever against any Affiliate (other than Guarantor) of the other party or the directors, officers, managers, shareholders, member, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing, in each case in their capacities as such, and its rights in respect of any such Claim for breach of any provision of this Agreement are limited solely to such rights as it may have against Seller (and Guarantor) or Purchasers, as the case may be, under this Agreement.

6.7    Purchaser Indemnification Decisions.  Each Purchaser may bring a Claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 6.  If both Purchasers initiate substantially the same Claim (a “Joint Claim”), PEGI shall have the right to assume control of the prosecution of such Joint Claim but may not enter into any settlement with the Indemnifying Party that purports to bind PSP with respect to such Joint Claim without the prior written consent of PSP (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b)    Any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, causes of action, disputes, controversies, and other matters in question arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the alleged breach hereof, or in any way relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the relationship between the parties created by this Agreement (hereafter, a “Dispute”), except for any claims for specific performance as set forth in Section 7.16, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, including the Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes (the “Rules”) then in force to the extent such Rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.  The party or parties commencing arbitration shall deliver to the other party or parties a written notice of intent to arbitrate (a “Demand”) in accordance with Rule R-4.  The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.
(i)    Selection of Arbitrators.  Disputes shall be resolved by a panel of three independent and impartial arbitrators (the “Arbitrators”).  The party or parties initiating the arbitration shall appoint an arbitrator in its or their Demand; the responding party or parties shall appoint an arbitrator in its or their answering statement, which is due thirty (30) days after receipt of the Demand.  If any party fails or refuses to timely nominate an arbitrator within the time permitted, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA from individuals with significant experience in renewable energy projects from its Large, Complex Commercial Case Panel.  Within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, the two party-

25
1556004.16-WASSR01A - MSW

 

appointed arbitrators shall appoint the third arbitrator, who shall act as the chair of the arbitration panel.  If the two party-appointed arbitrators fail or refuse to appoint the third arbitrator within such thirty (30)-day period, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA from individuals with significant experience in renewable energy projects from its Large, Complex Commercial Case Panel in accordance with Rule R-12.  The Arbitrators, acting by majority vote, shall resolve all Disputes. 
(ii)    Confidentiality. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the arbitration proceedings and award shall be maintained in confidence by the parties.
(iii)    Place of Arbitration.  The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York.  Any action in connection therewith shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any New York state court in New York County.  Each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding, and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Each party further agrees to accept service of process out of any of the before mentioned courts in any such dispute by registered or certified mail addressed to the party at the address set forth in Part VII of Appendix B.
(iv)    Conduct of the Arbitration.  The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules and in a manner that effectuates the parties’ intent that Disputes be resolved expeditiously and with minimal expense.  The Arbitrators shall endeavor to commence the arbitration hearing within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the third arbitrator’s appointment.  
(v)    Interim Relief.  Any party may apply to the Arbitrators seeking injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Any party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party, pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal (or pending the Arbitrators’ determination of the merits of the controversy).
(vi)    Discovery.  The Arbitrators, upon a showing of good cause, may require and facilitate such limited discovery as it shall determine is appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the needs of the parties, the burden on the 

26
1556004.16-WASSR01A - MSW

 

parties, and the desirability of making discovery limited, expeditious, and cost-effective. The Arbitrators shall issue orders to protect the confidentiality of proprietary information, trade secrets and other sensitive information disclosed in discovery.
(vii)    Arbitration Award.  The Arbitrators shall endeavor to issue a reasoned, written award within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing.  The Arbitrators shall have the authority to assess some or all of the costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding (including the Arbitrators’ fees and expenses) against any party.  The Arbitrators shall also have the authority to award attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party or parties.  In assessing the costs and expenses of the arbitration and/or awarding attorneys’ fee and expenses, the Arbitrators shall consider the relative extent to which each party has prevailed on the disputed issues and the relative importance of those issues.  The limitations of Section 7.15 shall apply to any award by the Arbitrators.

7.6    Headings; Construction; and Interpretation.  The headings preceding the text of the sections and subsections hereof are inserted solely for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect.  Except as otherwise expressly provided, the rules of construction set forth in Appendix A-2 shall apply to this Agreement.  The parties agree that any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived.

7.7    Further Assurances.  Each party shall cooperate and take such action as may be reasonably requested by the other party in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.8    Amendment and Waiver.  The parties may by mutual agreement amend this Agreement in any respect, and any party, as to such party, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of any other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in representations by any other party, (c) waive compliance by any other party with any of the agreements contained herein and performance of any obligations by such other party, and (d) waive the fulfillment of any condition that is precedent to the performance by such party of any of its obligations under this Agreement.  To be effective, any such amendment or waiver must be in writing and be signed by the party against whom enforcement of the same is sought.

7.9    No Other Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is being made and entered into solely for the benefit of Purchasers and Seller, and neither Purchasers nor Seller intends hereby to create any rights in favor of any other Person as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or otherwise.

27

7.11    Schedules.  References to a Schedule shall include any disclosure expressly set forth on the face of any other Schedule even if not specifically cross-referenced to such other Schedule to the extent that the relevance of such matter is reasonably apparent on the face thereof.  The fact that any item of information is contained in a disclosure schedule shall not be construed as an admission of liability under any Governmental Rule, or to mean that such information is material.  Such information shall not be used as the basis for interpreting the term “material”, “materially,” or any similar qualification in this Agreement.

7.12    Limitation of Representations and Warranties.  PURCHASERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ARTICLE 2 OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER HAS NOT MADE, AND SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND NEGATES, AND EACH OF THE PURCHASERS HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AT LAW OR OTHERWISE, RELATING TO THE ACQUIRED INTERESTS, SELLER, THE TARGET COMPANIES, THE WIND PROJECT OR THIS AGREEMENT.

7.13    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  A facsimile or electronically imaged version of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties hereto and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more parties hereto by facsimile or “PDF” electronic mail pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen, and such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes.

7.14    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement entered into pursuant hereto is contrary to, prohibited by or deemed invalid under applicable law or regulation, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.  

28
1556004.16-WASSR01A - MSW

 

7.15    Limit on Damages.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that neither party shall be liable to the other party for any punitive damages (except to the extent paid to a third party in respect of a Third Party Claim) or damages that were not reasonably foreseeable.

7.16    Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the courts and other bodies specified in Section 7.5, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

7.17    Waiver of Sovereign Immunity.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the making and performance of this Agreement constitutes a commercial transaction, and accordingly each party hereto waives to the fullest extent possible, and agrees that it shall not assert, any right to sovereign or other immunity with respect to itself or its assets, in relation to any process or execution undertaken, or relief granted, in connection with any action commenced in relation to this Agreement.

3.03    Dispositions and Encumbrances of Membership Interests.
(a)    General Restriction.  No Member may Dispose of or Encumber all or any portion of its Units or Membership Interest except in strict accordance with this Section 3.03.  (References in this Agreement to Dispositions or Encumbrances of a “Membership Interest” shall also refer to Dispositions or Encumbrances of the corresponding Units or a portion of a Membership Interest or the corresponding Units.  References in this Agreement to Dispositions or Encumbrances of “Units” shall also refer to Dispositions or Encumbrances of the corresponding Membership Interest represented by such Units.)  Any attempted Disposition or Encumbrance of any Unit or Membership Interest by a Member, other than in strict accordance with this Section 3.03, shall be, and is hereby declared, null and void ab initio.  The Members agree that a breach of the provisions of this Section 3.03 may cause irreparable injury to the Company and to the other Members for which monetary damages (or other remedy at law) are inadequate in view of (i) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of a Member to comply with such provision and (ii) the uniqueness of the Company’s business and the relationship among the Members.  Accordingly, the Members agree that the provisions of this Section 3.03 may be enforced by specific performance.
(b)    Dispositions of Membership Interests.  No Member may Dispose of all or any portion of its Units and no Assignee of Units may be admitted as a Member or Managing Member except in compliance with this Section 3.03(b); provided, that this Section 3.03(b) shall not apply to an Encumbrance or a Disposition upon foreclosure (or Disposition in lieu of such foreclosure) of an Encumbrance which shall be governed by Section 3.03(c)(i).  No Disposition of a Membership Interest shall effect a release of the Disposing Member from any liabilities to the Company or the other Members arising from events occurring prior to or in connection with the Disposition.  The Disposing Member and its Assignee shall pay, or reimburse the Company and each Member for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Disposition and admission, on or before the tenth (10th) Day after the receipt by that Person of the Company’s or such Member’s invoice for the amount due.
(i)    Restrictions on Dispositions.  No Disposition of any Membership Interest or Units by a Member shall be effective unless the following requirements are satisfied:
(1)    Principal Project Documents.  Such Disposition would not result in a breach of the Holdings Operating Agreement, the Power Purchase Agreement or any other Principal Project Documents, unless otherwise waived or consented to in writing by the applicable counterparty or counterparties thereto so as not to constitute a breach or default thereunder.

(2)    Applicable Laws and Regulations.  Such Disposition would not violate any provision of applicable Law; provided, that this clause (2) shall only apply to Dispositions to the extent such violation would or would be reasonably likely to have a material impact on (i) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Holdings Operating Agreement, (ii) Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any member of Holdings other than the Company, (iv) any Member other than such Disposing Member or (v) the Wind Farm.
(3)    Related Party.  If such Disposition would occur prior to the end of the PTC Period, such Disposition would not be to a Related Party (or a Person who would become a Related Party as a result of such Disposition).
(4)    Investment Company Act.  Such Disposition would not require the Company to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(5)    Consents and Permits.  All Governmental Approvals with respect to such Disposition shall have been obtained (other than any such Governmental Approval which, if not obtained, would not result in an adverse impact on the Wind Farm).
(6)    Dispositions to Competitors.  Such Disposition by the Investor would not be to any Person (other than PEGI or its Affiliates) that directly or indirectly (including through one or more Affiliates) develops or operates wind power or solar power projects (collectively, the “Competitive Activities”) unless such transferee is a pension fund, investment fund, pooled investment vehicle, insurance company or institutional investor that is directly or indirectly engaged in Competitive Activities through another Person (including through one or more Affiliates) provided that (i) the transferee’s primary business activity is not its direct or indirect ownership of such Person, and (ii) such Disposition shall not be to the Person that is directly engaged in Competitive Activities.
(7)    Drag, Tag and Right of First Offer.  Such Disposition, to the extent it constitutes a Transfer, complies with the requirements of Section 3.04.

-18-
Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

(8)    Entity Classification.  Such Disposition would not cause the Company or Holdings to be classified as an entity other than a partnership (or cause the Company or Holdings to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation) for purposes of the Code unless the transferor provides an indemnity from an entity reasonably satisfactory to the other Members and the members of Holdings other than the Company and in a manner reasonably acceptable to such other Members and such other members of Holdings to each other Member and each other member of Holdings for any adverse Tax consequences that such other Member and such other member of Holdings experience as a result of any change in classification caused by such Disposition; provided, that if the Disposition occurs after the DRO Zero Date, such indemnity shall be reduced by any net economic benefit resulting from any change in classification caused by such Disposition.
(9)    EWG Status and MBR Authority.  Such Disposition would not result in the Project Company ceasing to be an Exempt Wholesale Generator, once EWG status has been obtained, or losing or having FERC impose new material conditions on its MBR Authority, once such MBR Authority has been obtained.
(10)    Tax-Exempt Use Property. If such Disposition would occur prior to the end of the later of (i) the PTC Period and (ii) the Flip Point, either (x) such Disposition would not cause the Wind Farm to be treated wholly or partly as “tax-exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code or (y) the transferor provides an indemnity from an entity reasonably satisfactory to the other Members and the members of Holdings (other than the Company) and in a manner reasonably acceptable to each other Member and the members of Holdings (other than the Company) for any adverse Tax consequences that such other Member and such members of Holdings (other than the Company) experience as a result of any change in classification caused by such Disposition.
(11)    OFAC.      Such Disposition is not to a Person (i) who appears on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control in the United States Department of the Treasury; (ii) with whom a transaction is prohibited by applicable provisions of

(12)    Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada).  None of the funds being used to purchase the Units or satisfy the transferee’s commitments under this Agreement represent or will represent proceeds of crime for the purpose of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada).
(13)    Suppression of Terrorism.  The Disposition is not to a Person identified in the Regulations implementing the United Nations Resolutions on the Suppression of Terrorism, the United Nations Al Qaida and Taliban Regulations, the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolution on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Resolution on Iran or the Special Economic Measures (Burma) Regulations.

The Disposing Member shall deliver to each other Member written notice not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Disposition (other than in connection with a Disposition to an Affiliate, including pursuant to Section 3.03(b)(iv), in which case written notice shall be given no later than ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such Disposition).
(B)    Disposition Instrument.  The Disposing Member shall deliver to the Managing Member an instrument implementing the Disposition in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the 

-20-
Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

Managing Member and shall do all such acts or things that may be necessary to effect the Disposition.
(iii)    Admission as a Member.  Upon Disposition of Units by a Member in accordance with Section 3.03(b)(i) and Section 3.03(b)(ii), the Assignee shall be admitted to the Company as a Member.
(iv)    Indirect Dispositions of Membership Interest Permitted.  Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict, limit or require consent for, any direct or indirect Disposition of any ownership or membership interest in any Member or any Person which directly or indirectly holds an ownership or membership interest in a Member; provided, however, that (A) any such Disposition shall comply with Section 3.03(b)(iv) of the Holdings Operating Agreement, and (B) the Member whose ownership or membership interest is the subject of such direct or indirect Disposition shall be deemed in connection with such Disposition to have represented to the other Members that any such direct or indirect Disposition complies with the requirements of Sections 3.03(b)(i)(D) and 3.03(b)(iv) of the Holdings Operating Agreement and Sections 3.03(b)(i) and 3.03(b)(iv) hereof; provided further, that any Disposition in whole or in part of the ownership or membership interest of any Member that is a Shell Parent Company or of any Shell Parent Company that directly or indirectly owns a Member, shall be subject to the applicable requirements of Section 3.03(b)(i) and Section 3.03(b)(ii)(A).  “Shell Parent Company” shall mean any direct or indirect owner of the Company that does not, directly or through any other Person, own or lease any material assets (other than the Wind Farm), have an interest in any other project or business or have any material investments or material rights unrelated to the Company, Holdings, Holdings’s Subsidiaries or the Wind Farm.  For avoidance of doubt, any Person that owns another Person (other than the Company, Holdings or Holdings’s Subsidiaries) that is not a Shell Parent Company shall not be a Shell Parent Company.
(c)    Encumbrances of Membership Interest; Foreclosure.
(i)    Except as expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 3.03(c)(i), nothing in this Agreement shall limit any Member from Encumbering its Membership Interest to secure financial indebtedness of such Member or any Affiliate thereof, and, in connection with any Encumbrance by a Member in accordance with this Section 3.03(c)(i), each non-Encumbering Member shall reasonably cooperate with any reasonable request of the Encumbering Member and also with any reasonable request by any member of Holdings (other than the Company) under the Holdings Operating Agreement to deliver any consent documentation required by any lender in connection with such Encumbrance (including, as applicable, customary provisions relating to the ability of providers of financial indebtedness or their agents to exercise remedies with respect to the Encumbered Membership Interests); provided that a Member may only Encumber its Membership Interest to secure financial indebtedness of such Member or any Affiliate thereof if, when granted, the Encumbrance is not in favor of a Related Party or a Person that would become a Related Party upon foreclosure of such Encumbrance (with respect to any Encumbrance prior to the end of the PTC Period); provided, further, that the foregoing 

-21-
Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

obligation to reasonably cooperate with any reasonable request to deliver consent documentation shall not obligate any non-Encumbering Member to modify or amend any of its rights or privileges under this Agreement; provided finally, that if a Disposition upon foreclosure (or deed in lieu of such foreclosure) of such Encumbrance occurs, the Encumbering Member shall be deemed to have represented to the other Members that any such direct or indirect Disposition complies with the requirements of Sections 3.03(b)(i)(D) and 3.03(c) of the Holdings Operating Agreement and Sections 3.03(b)(i), 3.03(b)(ii) and 3.03(c) hereof.  Any subsequent Disposition of Membership Interest by any lenders or their agents to a third party following any foreclosure upon Encumbered Membership Interests (or deed in lieu of such foreclosure) must comply with the requirements of Section 3.03(b).  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the Encumbering Member is a Shell Parent Company or any Shell Parent Company directly or indirectly owns the Encumbering Member, any foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) by the lenders or any agent therefor and any Disposition to a third party by such lenders or agent following such foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) shall be subject to the requirements of Sections 3.03(b)(i) and 3.03(b)(ii).
(ii)    Except as expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 3.03(c)(ii), nothing in this Agreement shall restrict, limit or require consent for, any direct or indirect Encumbrance on the ownership or membership interest in any Member or any Person which owns a direct or indirect ownership or membership interest in any Member; provided, that if a Disposition upon foreclosure (or deed in lieu of such foreclosure) of such Encumbrance occurs, (A) the Member whose ownership or membership interest is directly or indirectly the subject of such Encumbrance shall be deemed to have represented to the other Members that any such direct or indirect Disposition complies with the requirements of Sections 3.03(b)(i)(D) and 3.03(c) of the Holdings Operating Agreement and Sections 3.03(b)(i) and 3.03(c) hereof, and (B) for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of any subsequent Disposition to a third party following such foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, such Disposition shall have satisfied the requirements set forth in Section 3.03(b)(iv).  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in connection with an Encumbrance on the ownership or membership interest of any Member that is a Shell Parent Company or any Shell Parent Company that directly or indirectly owns a Member, any foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) by the lenders or any agent therefor and any Disposition to a third party by such lenders or agent following such foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) shall be subject to the requirements of Sections 3.03(b)(i) and 3.03(b)(ii)(A) which would be applicable if such Encumbrance were directly on the Membership Interest.
3.04    Drag, Tag, Right of First Offer.
(a)    Drag Along Rights.
(i)    Subject to first complying with its obligations pursuant to Section 3.04(c), if Pattern Member together with any of its Permitted Transferees that are Members (collectively, a “Pattern Seller”) desires to effect a bona fide Transfer of all (but not less than all) of its Units in the Company, whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions (the “Drag Sale Interests” and, any such transactions or series of related 

-22-
Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

transactions, a “Drag Along Sale”) to any Third Party, other than a Permitted Transferee, for cash then the Pattern Seller shall (in its sole discretion) be permitted to deliver written notice to the Investor and its Permitted Transferees that are Members (collectively, a “PSP Seller”) of such Drag Along Sale no later than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the anticipated date of consummation of such Drag Along Sale (the “Drag Along Notice”).  Such Drag Along Notice shall (i) identify the purchaser, the purchase price per Drag Sale Interests and a summary of the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Drag Along Sale and (ii) be accompanied by forms of all agreements (including any schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto) to be entered into by or on behalf or for the account or otherwise for the benefit of the Pattern Seller, as applicable, in connection with the Drag Along Sale.  Following receipt of the Drag Along Notice, the PSP Seller shall be obligated to sell to the purchaser all of the PSP Seller’s Membership Interest in the Company at the same purchase price per Unit, and otherwise on the same terms therefor and subject to the same conditions thereto, as the Pattern Seller.
(ii)    Neither the Pattern Seller nor any Controlled Affiliate thereof shall have entered into any collateral agreement, commitment or understanding with the purchaser or its affiliates that has or would have the effect of providing to the Pattern Seller or any such Controlled Affiliate consideration of greater value than the consideration offered pursuant to the Drag Along Sale; provided that such restriction shall not apply to any commercial agreement in effect at the time of such transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the MOMA and the Project Administration Agreement) that was entered into prior to the date hereof or following receipt of any consent thereto required in accordance with Section 6.03.
(iii)    The PSP Seller shall not be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to the Drag Along Sale other than customary fundamental representations and warranties as to ownership, title and due authorization and the PSP Seller shall be solely responsible for the accuracy of such representations and warranties (and shall not have any liability for any such representations and warranties of Pattern Seller).  In addition, the PSP Seller shall only be responsible for any indemnification obligations, escrow amounts and holdback amounts in connection with the Drag Along Sale on a several and proportionate basis (and not joint and several basis) in accordance with its direct ownership interests in the Company relative to the Pattern Seller.  The PSP Seller shall not be required to enter into or be bound by any non-compete or similar restrictive covenants in connection with any Drag Along Sale. 
(iv)    If the PSP Seller is not represented on the closing date of the Drag Along Sale or is represented but fails for any reason whatsoever to produce and deliver any required instruments and documents as may be consistent with its obligations hereunder and necessary or desirable to give effect to the sale and Transfer of applicable Units held by the PSP Seller or as may be necessary to discharge any encumbrance that affects such Units (collectively, the “Third Party Transfer Documents”) to the Third Party, then the price per Unit payable to the PSP Seller in connection with the Drag Along Sale, subject to the provisions of this Agreement may be deposited by the Third Party in a special account in 

-23-
Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

the name of the PSP Seller at a branch of the bank used by the Third Party.  Such deposit shall constitute valid and effective payment of any purchase price payable to the PSP Seller pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) even though the PSP Seller has, in breach of this Agreement, voluntarily encumbered or disposed of any of the Units and notwithstanding the fact that a conveyance or conveyances or assignment or assignments of the Units may have been delivered in breach of this Agreement to any alleged pledgee, transferee or other Person.  If the purchase price payable to the PSP Seller pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) is deposited as aforesaid, then, from and after the date of such deposit, and even though the Third Party Transfer Documents have not been delivered to the Third Party, the purchase of the Units being sold by the PSP Seller shall be deemed to have been fully completed and all right, title, benefit and interest, both at law and in equity, in and to such Units shall be conclusively deemed to have been transferred and assigned to and become vested in the Third Party and all right, title, benefit and interest, both at law and in equity, of the PSP Seller, or of any transferee, assignee or any other Person having any interest, legal or equitable, therein or thereto shall cease and terminate, provided, however, that the PSP Seller shall be entitled to receive the purchase price payable to the PSP Seller pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) so deposited, with interest, upon delivery to the Third Party of the Third Party Transfer Documents.
(v)    The PSP Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Third Party as its true and lawful attorney and agent in the name of and on behalf of the PSP Seller to execute and deliver in the name of the PSP Seller all such Third Party Transfer Documents as may be necessary to effectively transfer and assign the Units held by the PSP Seller to the Third Party, provided that such Third Party Transfer Documents do not conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.04(a); provided, that such appointment shall be effective only if the PSP Seller shall fail to execute and deliver such Third Party Transfer Documents in accordance with this Section 3.04(a) within five (5) Business Days after a written request from Pattern Seller to do so.  Such appointment and power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall not be revoked by the dissolution, winding-up, bankruptcy or insolvency of the PSP Seller and the PSP Seller hereby ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm all that the Third Party may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of the provisions hereof.  The PSP Seller hereby irrevocably consents to the Transfer of its Units made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.04(a).

(b)    Tag Along Rights.  Subject to first complying with Section 3.04(c), if at any time a Pattern Seller desires to effect a bona fide Transfer of some or all of its direct or indirect ownership interests in the Company whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions (the “Tag Along Sale Interests” and, any such transactions or series of related transactions, a “Tag Along Sale”) to any Third Party other than a Permitted Transferee (such Third Party, a “Tag Along Purchaser”), then the Managing Member shall be required to provide the Investor and its Permitted Transferees (to the extent that such Permitted Transferees own any Membership Interest) (collectively the “Tag Along PSP Seller”) with at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice (the “Tag Along Notice”) of such proposed Tag Along Sale.  Such Tag Along Notice shall (A) identify the Tag Along Purchaser, the amount of Tag Along Sale Interests proposed to be transferred directly or indirectly by the Pattern Seller, the percentage of the then-issued and outstanding Units that such proposed Tag Along Sale Interests represents, the sales price per Unit, and a summary of the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Tag Along Sale and (B) be accompanied by forms of all agreements (including any schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto) to be entered into by or on behalf or for the account or otherwise for the benefit of the Pattern Seller in connection with the proposed Transfer.  Within twenty (20) calendar days following receipt by the Tag Along PSP Seller of the Tag Along Notice, the Tag Along PSP Seller may, by providing written notice (which notice shall be deemed to be irrevocable when sent) (the “Tag Along Acceptance Notice”) to the Managing Member, elect to Transfer to the Tag Along Purchaser, as part of the Tag Along Sale, an amount of Units owned by the Tag Along PSP Seller (the “Tagging Interests”) up to the total amount of issued and outstanding Units proposed to be Transferred to the Tag Along Purchaser pursuant to the Tag Along Sale multiplied by PSP’s Pro Rata Share, at the same purchase price per Unit as the Pattern Seller and otherwise on the same terms therefor and subject to the same conditions thereto.  Neither the Pattern Seller nor any Controlled Affiliate thereof shall have entered into any collateral agreement, commitment or understanding with the Tag Along Purchaser or its affiliates that has or would have the effect of providing to the Pattern Seller or any such Controlled Affiliate consideration of greater value than the consideration offered pursuant to the Tag Along Sale; provided that such restriction shall not apply to any commercial agreement in effect at the time of such transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the MOMA and the Project Administration Agreement) that was entered into prior to the date hereof or that was entered into following receipt of the consent thereto, if any, required in accordance with Section 6.03.  If the Tag Along Purchaser does not accept all of the Tagging Interests tendered by the Tag Along PSP Seller, then the Pattern Seller shall have the option to either (i) proportionately reduce the number of Tag Along Sale Interests and Tagging Interests to account for the maximum number of ownership interests that the Tag Along Purchaser is willing to purchase or (ii) abandon the Tag Along Sale.  If the Tag Along PSP Seller does not deliver a Tag Along Acceptance Notice within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of the Tag Along Notice, the Tag Along PSP Seller shall be deemed to have waived its rights with respect to the Transfer of its Units pursuant to the applicable Tag Along Sale and the Pattern Seller shall have until one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the expiration of such twenty (20) calendar day period after the date of the Tag Along Notice in which to Transfer the ownership interests in the Company described in the Tag Along Notice on terms not more favorable 

-25-
Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

to the Pattern Seller than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice.  If at the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period the Pattern Seller shall not have completed the Transfer of all of the Pattern Seller’s ownership interests in the Company contemplated to be transferred in the Tag Along Notice (reduced to account for any Tagging Interests (if any) and all Tagging Interests (if any)), then the Tag Along PSP Seller’s tag along rights shall again apply with respect to any such unsold ownership interests.  This Section 3.04(b) shall not apply to any “Disposition” (as defined in the Holdings Operating Agreement) of the Class B Membership Interests (as defined in the Holdings Operating Agreement) in Holdings pursuant to Article 9 of the Holdings Operating Agreement (the “Article 9 Disposition”).
(c)    Right of First Offer.
(i)    If any Member, PSP or any of its Permitted Transferees or a Pattern Seller (as applicable, the “ROFO Offeree”) desires to Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest in the Company to any Third Party other than to a Permitted Transferee who agrees to be bound by the obligations set forth in this Agreement, the ROFO Offeree shall give the other Member(s) (the “ROFO Offerors”) written notice setting forth the details of the Membership Interests of the Company to be transferred (the “Subject Membership Interests”) and any other material terms of the proposed Transfer reasonably known or anticipated by the ROFO Offeree (a “ROFO Notice”).
(ii)    Within forty-five (45) calendar days after delivery of a ROFO Notice, each ROFO Offeror shall either: (A) deliver a written offer to the ROFO Offeree to purchase the Subject Membership Interests (a “ROFO Offer”) or (B) deliver a written notice to the ROFO Offeree that such ROFO Offeror will not make a ROFO Offer (a “ROFO Declination”).  If a ROFO Offeror fails to deliver either a ROFO Offer or a ROFO Declination within such forty-five (45)-day period, such ROFO Offeror will be deemed to have delivered a ROFO Declination.
(iii)    Unless a ROFO Offer is accepted pursuant to written notice from the ROFO Offeree to the ROFO Offeror that delivered such ROFO Offer within ten (10) calendar days following the delivery of such ROFO Offer (the “ROFO Acceptance Period”), such ROFO Offer shall be deemed to have been rejected by the ROFO Offeree.  In the event that the ROFO Offeree validly rejects each ROFO Offer or each ROFO Offeror delivers a ROFO Declination, subject to complying with its obligations under Section 3.04(b), the ROFO Offeree shall be free to Transfer the applicable Subject Membership Interests to any Third Party; provided that in the event any ROFO Offeror has previously delivered a ROFO Offer that was rejected by the ROFO Offeree, the ROFO Offeree shall only be permitted to enter into a definitive agreement to Transfer the applicable Subject Membership Interests (A) during the nine (9) month period following the expiration of the ROFO Acceptance Period, (B) at a price greater than or equal to 105% of the price offered in such ROFO Offer and (C) on terms and conditions (economic and otherwise) that are not materially less favorable (in the aggregate) to the ROFO Offeree than the terms and conditions set forth in such ROFO Offer.  If at the end of such nine (9) month period the ROFO Offeree shall not have completed 

-26-
Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

the Transfer of the Subject Membership Interests, then it shall once again be required to comply with this Section 3.04(c).
(iv)    If a ROFO Offer is accepted during the ROFO Acceptance Period, the ROFO Offeror that delivered such ROFO Offer shall acquire the Subject Membership Interest, and the ROFO Offeree shall Transfer the Subject Membership Interest to the ROFO Offeror at the price set forth in the ROFO Offer; provided that no party shall be required to provide any representations or warranties with respect to such Transfer other than customary fundamental representations and warranties as to ownership, title and due authorization; provided further, that if the ROFO Offeree accepts more than one ROFO Offer, then the ROFO Offerors whose ROFO Offers have been accepted shall acquire the Subject Membership Interest pro rata in accordance with their respective Units prior to such acquisition (unless the ROFO Offerors shall agree among themselves to a different ratio), and the ROFO Offeree shall Transfer the Subject Membership Interest to such ROFO Offerors (pro rata in accordance with their respective Units prior to such acquisition, unless the ROFO Offerors shall agree among themselves to a different ratio) at the price set forth in their respective ROFO Offers pro rated for the number of Units the ROFO Offerors are acquiring as a proportion of the total number of Units comprising the Subject Membership Interest.
(v)    A sale by a ROFO Offeree of a Subject Membership Interest to a ROFO Offeror shall be completed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(b)(ii), provided, however, that the closing of such sale shall be not later than ninety (90) Days from the date on which the ROFO Offer is accepted or such later date as may be required to facilitate obtaining any required consents or approvals of any Governmental Authority or counterparty to a Principal Project Document that is required in connection with such sale, and the consideration paid to the ROFO Offeree by the ROFO Offeror shall be as set out in the ROFO Offer (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.04(c)(iv)).
(vi)    This Section 3.04(c) shall not apply to an Article 9 Disposition.
(d)    Applicability to PEGI.  To the extent Section 3.04(b) or 3.04(c) is applicable to any Transfer by PEGI of all or any portion of PEGI’s indirect ownership interest in Holdings, Pattern Member shall cause PEGI to comply or cause the applicable Pattern Seller, as the case may be, to comply with the terms of Section 3.04(b) or Section 3.04(c) as the seller of the Tag Along Sale Interests or the Subject Membership Interests, as applicable.
3.05    Liability to Third Parties.  No Member shall be personally liable for the debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Member.
3.06    Withdrawal.  A Member may not withdraw or resign from the Company except as permitted by this Agreement.

3.07    Permitted Transfers to Controlled Affiliates.  Subject to Section 3.03(b) (except for Section 3.03(b)(i)(7)), a Member who is not then in default of its obligations under this Agreement (the “Transferor”) will be entitled to Transfer, without first complying with Section 3.04, title to all or part of its Units to one or more of its Controlled Affiliates, provided that:
(a)    the Transferor first establishes to the satisfaction of the other Members (the “Non-Transferring Members”), acting reasonably (and if the Non-Transferring Members do not agree that each Person to which the Transferor is transferring its Units is a Permitted Transferee then the matter shall be subject to the dispute resolution procedures outlined in Section 10.06) that each Person to which it is transferring its Units is a Permitted Transferee;
(b)    the Non-Transferring Members receive prior written notice of such Transfer; and
(c)    where the Transferor transfers less than all of its Units to a Controlled Affiliate, all Units held or acquired by such Transferor and its Controlled Affiliate(s) shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement, and (i) such Transferor and its Controlled Affiliate(s) may apportion such rights as among themselves in any manner they deem appropriate and (ii) shall be jointly and severally liable for their respective obligations under this Agreement.
3.08    Pledges and Realization.  No Pledge or Realization shall be deemed to constitute a “Transfer” for the purposes of Section 3.04, so long as (a) any subsequent disposition, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, gift, exchange or other disposition by such lender or agent of its direct or indirect interest in Units or Membership Interests is to a Person that has either (i) (A) a rating not less than “BBB” from S&P or “Baa3” from Moody’s or (B) is controlled by an Affiliate meeting the criteria specified in clause (A), or (ii) together with its Affiliate(s) on consolidated basis, a tangible net worth of at least US$500,000,000, or, in the case of an investment fund, pension plan or other similar entity, aggregate assets under management of at least US$500,000,000 and (b) such subsequent disposition, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, gift, exchange or other disposition by such lender or agent of such direct or indirect interests in Units or Membership Interests complies with the transfer restrictions hereunder, to the extent applicable, including the requirements of Section 3.04.

(b)    Capital Calls will be issued from time to time in writing (a “Funding Notice”) by the Managing Member to each Member, in accordance with the then applicable operating budget or as approved by the Managing Member, with a schedule setting out the aggregate amount of the Capital Call and the portion of such Capital Call required to be contributed by each Member, calculated by multiplying such aggregate Capital Call by such Member’s Pro Rata Share.  Unless unanimously agreed by the Members, all Capital Calls shall be satisfied in cash and not in other property.
(c)    Any Funding Notice issued by the Managing Member will include the bank account information to which payment is to be made and the due date on which the payment is required from each Member, which date shall be at least five (5) Business Days following the date that the Funding Notice is delivered or given.

(e)    Each Member shall be required to contribute its respective share of a Capital Call, as set forth in the applicable Funding Notice.
(f)    If a Funding Notice is issued by the Managing Member and any Member fails to contribute capital in accordance with such Funding Notice (in this Section 4.02(f), a “Non-Contributing Member”), then each Member that has contributed its required capital (“Required Capital”) in accordance with such Funding Notice (in this Section 4.02(f), a “Contributing Member”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to contribute an amount up to the amount of the capital required to have been contributed by the Non-Contributing Member (such a contribution, an “Additional Contribution”).  The Contributing Member will be issued Units in respect of both the Required Capital it contributed and the Additional Contribution it contributed, notwithstanding Section 2.06 and any other provision to the contrary herein, such that the Contributing Member is issued three Units for each $1.00 contributed, provided that such dilution does not result in a breach of, or a violation of, any

(a)    General.  For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 4.01, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 5.01(b) and in Section 5.01(c), and subject to the limitation in Section 5.01(d), each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company for any period (or portion of a period) after the Effective Date shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

of a taxable period, any Member with a share of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions.  This Section 5.01(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
(iii)    Qualified Income Offset.  In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company gross income (if any) shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by Treasury Regulations, any such Member’s negative balance in an Adjusted Capital Account as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.01(b)(iii) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a negative balance in an Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Section 5.01 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.01(b)(iii) was not in this Agreement. 
(iv)    Gross Income Allocation.  In the event any Member has a negative balance in an Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any taxable period, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such negative balance as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.01(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a negative balance in an Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Article 5 have been made as if Section 5.01(b)(iii) and this Section 5.01(b)(iv) were not in this Agreement.
(v)    Nonrecourse Deductions.  Any Nonrecourse Deduction for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Section 5.01(a).
(vi)    Member Nonrecourse Deductions.  Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i) and (j).
(vii)    Liquidating Allocations.  Any items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit arising in connection with the liquidation shall be allocated pursuant to Section 9.02(a).
(c)    Curative Allocations.  The allocations set forth in Sections 5.01(b)(i) through (vi) hereof as limited by Section 5.01(d) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations.  To the extent the Company can do so consistently with the Treasury Regulations, the Company shall reallocate items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit among the Members such that, to the extent possible, the net amount of the allocations under Section 5.01(a), Section 

-32-
Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

5.01(b) and Section 9.02(a) will be the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if this Agreement did not contain the Regulatory Allocations; provided, that, to the extent that it is not possible to reallocate such items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit in such a manner in a given taxable year, such reallocations will be made in subsequent taxable years, as applicable, to the extent consistent with such Treasury Regulations.
(d)    Loss Limitations.  No allocation of items of loss or deduction pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 9.02(a)(v) shall be made to a Member if such allocation would cause such Member to have a negative balance in an Adjusted Capital Account, or increase the amount of a Member’s negative balance in an Adjusted Capital Account.  In the event some but not all of the Members would have a negative balance in an Adjusted Capital Account as a consequence of an allocation of items of loss or deduction pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 9.02(a)(v), the limitation set forth in this Section 5.01(d) shall be applied on a Member by Member basis and items of loss or deduction not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in the manner otherwise required pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and Section 9.02(a)(v) to the extent such other Members have positive balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible items of loss and deduction to each Member under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
(e)    Other Allocation Rules.
(i)    For purposes of determining the income or losses, or any other items allocable to any period, income, losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Managing Member using any permissible method described in Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(ii)    The Members are aware of the income Tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 5.01 and Section 9.02(a) and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.01 and Section 9.02(a) in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.
(iii)    Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of any “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members’ interests in the Company’s profits are in accordance with their proportionate allocations under Section 5.01(a).
(f)    Income Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c).  For income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocable in the same manner such items are allocated for book purposes pursuant to this Section 5.01; provided, however, that income, gain, loss and deductions with respect to property contributed to the Company by a Member or revalued pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) shall be allocated among the Members in a manner that takes into account the variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its book value, as required by Section 704(c) 

-33-
Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), using the remedial allocation method permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d).
5.02    Distributions.  All Distributable Cash shall, subject to Sections 5.03 and 5.05, be distributed by the Company to the Members on each Distribution Date on which the Company has Distributable Cash, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. Each distribution shall be made only in cash unless unanimously agreed by the Members.
5.03    Distributions on Dissolution and Winding Up.  Notwithstanding Section 5.02, upon the dissolution and winding up of the Company, liquidating distributions shall be made as provided in Section 9.02.
5.04    Varying Interests.  All items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the Persons shown on the records of the Company to have been Members as of the last calendar day of the period for which the allocation or distribution is to be made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during any taxable year there is a change in any Member’s Units, the Members agree that their allocable shares of such items for the taxable year shall be determined by taking into account their varying interests based upon an “interim closing of the books” method effective as of close of business on the date such change occurs, as permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1(c).
5.05    Withholding.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall comply with any withholding requirements under any Law and shall remit amounts withheld to, and file required forms with, applicable Tax authorities.  To the extent that the Company is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any Tax authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Member, the amount withheld shall be treated as a distribution of cash to such Member in the amount of such withholding.  In the event of any claimed over-withholding, Members shall be limited to an action against the applicable Tax authority.  If an amount required to be withheld was not withheld from an actual distribution, the Company may reduce subsequent distributions by the amount of such required withholding and any penalties or interest thereon.  Each Member agrees to furnish to the Company such forms or other documentation as is necessary to assist the Company in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations.  The Company shall make good faith efforts to provide notice of any applicable withholding and consult with the affected Member with respect thereto in a good faith effort to reduce or eliminate such withholding within a reasonable amount of time after becoming aware of any such withholding obligation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership Representative shall (i) make an election under Code Section 754 to adjust the basis of the Company’s property upon receipt of a written request from a Member and (ii) shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, adopt as the Company’s fiscal year the calendar year or, if different, PEGI’s fiscal year.

(c)    The Partnership Representative shall have the exclusive right and sole authority to act on behalf of the Company under Subchapter C of Section 63 of the Code (relating to IRS partnership audit proceedings) and in any tax proceedings brought by other taxing authorities, and the Company and all Members shall be bound by the actions taken by the Partnership Representative in such capacity.  The Partnership Representative shall keep the Members informed on a timely basis of all material developments with respect to any such proceeding and shall inform the Members of any material decision or actions it takes in its capacity as Partnership Representative.
(d)    In the event of any “imputed underpayment” within the meaning of Section 6225 of the Code paid by the Company as a result of an adjustment with respect to any Company item, including any interest or penalties with respect to any such adjustment (collectively, an “Imputed Underpayment Amount”), the Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate the burden of (or any decrease in Distributable Cash resulting from) any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on the Company pursuant to Code Sections 6225 and 6232 among the Members and former Members in a reasonable manner based on the status, actions, inactions or other attributes of each Member and taking into account whether such Member has filed an amended return for its taxable year that includes the end of the reviewed year of the Company and paid any tax due shown thereon in order to modify or reduce the amount of the Imputed Underpayment Amount under Section 6225(c)(2).  Any amounts allocated to a Member pursuant to the preceding sentence will be treated as withholding tax that arises as a result of the status or other matters that are particular to a Member.  If the Company becomes liable for any taxes, interest or penalties under Section 6225 of the Code (following a final determination of such liability by the relevant governmental authority), each Member that was a Member of the Company for the taxable year to which such liability relates shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company for such Person’s allocable share of the amount of such tax liability, including any interest and penalties associated therewith, as reasonably determined by the Partnership Representative.  Each Member acknowledges and agrees that (i) it may be required to provide the Partnership Representative with documents, information, assistance or cooperation in connection with the requirements imposed on the Company pursuant to Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code, together with any guidance issued thereunder, and (ii) if it fails to provide such documentation, information, assistance or cooperation (including as a result of a Member not being eligible to provide any requested documentation), any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on the Company as a result of such failure will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement (including Section 5.05) as amounts that are determined by reference to the status of a Member (or its beneficial owners).
(e)    Each Member agrees that, in the case of any direct Disposition by such Member, such Member shall remain liable for any indemnification obligations set forth under Section 7.01(d) which could be owed by such Member in respect of the time periods preceding the effective date of the Disposition, unless the transferee of its Membership Interest expressly assumes its indemnification liability under Section 7.01(d) with respect to such preceding periods.

Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

confidentiality obligations; or (iv) in the case of the Pattern Member, its Affiliates and its and their Representatives (in each case who first are instructed to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information on substantially similar terms as those contained in this Section 8.03) to the extent necessary (x) for the Company to perform its obligations as Class B Member, Managing Member, Negotiating Member or Partnership Representative (in each case as defined in the Holdings Operating Agreement) under the Holdings Operating Agreement or (y) for Pattern Member or its Affiliates (including the Company) (1) to perform their obligations under any other agreements to which they are party for the purpose of operating or maintaining the Wind Farm or administering the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (2) to comply with any applicable Laws or Governmental Approvals, in each case except to the extent information is required to be kept confidential by Section 3.06(b) of the Holdings Operating Agreement.  The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that (A) Confidential Information and Competitively Sensitive Information (as defined below) contain material, non-public information regarding the Managing Member, the Company and their Affiliates, and (B) the United States securities laws prohibit any Persons who have material, non-public information from purchasing or selling securities of a company using such information or from communicating such information to any Person (including its Affiliates) under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such Person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information.  The Investor further confirms that it has in place internal information protection mechanisms to prevent unauthorized use of the Confidential Information and Competitively Sensitive Information.
(b)    “Competitively Sensitive Information” shall mean information regarding PEGI, the Managing Member, the Company, Holdings, the Project Company, the IRB Purchaser or the Wind Farm that PEGI determines that one or more Affiliates of the Investor could reasonably be expected to use to compete with PEGI.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Investor be entitled to receive Competitively Sensitive Information, and the Investor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, maintain any Competitively Sensitive Information of which any of their respective employees, officers or directors is or becomes aware in strict confidence; provided that the Managing Member shall, or shall cause PEGI to, provide the Investor or PSP with a commercially reasonable description of the nature of any Competitively Sensitive Information that would otherwise have been provided to the Investor but for this Section 8.03(b) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide substitute disclosure to the Investor that, to the greatest extent practicable under the circumstances, will enable the Investor to exercise its rights under this Agreement in substantially the same manner as if the Investor had full access to such Competitively Sensitive Information and that is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Investor.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or restrict any Member or any of its Affiliates from disclosing, without the agreement of the Managing Member, the Company, Holdings, PEGI, the Project Company or the IRB Purchaser, or of the Investor, as applicable: (i) Confidential Information required to be disclosed under any applicable Law (including applicable 

-50-
Mtl#: 2837088.5
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

securities laws) or the rules of any securities exchange; or (ii) Confidential Information required to be disclosed to such Person’s lenders or other creditors on a confidential basis; provided that in no event shall this clause (ii) permit the disclosure of any Competitively Sensitive Information.  The Investor or any Affiliate, or Pattern Member or any Affiliate, as applicable, disclosing Confidential Information, as applicable in accordance with this ‎Section 8.03, shall use reasonable efforts to (A) advise the Managing Member or the Investor, as applicable, of the details of the required disclosure and (B) if permitted by applicable Law, obtain the comments of the Managing Member or the Investor, as applicable, on the wording of the proposed disclosure prior to making such disclosure.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Investor, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective Representatives, share any Confidential Information or Competitively Sensitive Information with any portfolio companies or other investments of PSP (or any of their respective Representatives other than employees of PSP who are acting in their capacity as Representatives of PSP and do not use such information for any purpose other than in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and the Investor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates that receive Confidential Information or Competitively Sensitive Information to, use customary information barriers to ensure that no portfolio company or other investment of PSP or any of their respective Representatives (other than employees of PSP who are acting in their capacity as Representatives of PSP and do not use such information for any purpose other than in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) has access to any Confidential Information or Competitively Sensitive Information.
(e)    Each Member shall consult with each other Member and provide each other Member a reasonable opportunity to comment before issuing any press release or making any other public announcement regarding such other Member, provided that (i) in the case of any disclosure required by applicable Law or stock exchange rule, such consultation and opportunity to comment shall only be required to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances and (ii) no consultation and opportunity to comment shall be required with respect to any disclosure that is substantially similar to prior public disclosure made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
(f)    In the event of a breach of a Member’s obligations under this Section 8.03, the Member must, as soon as practicable following discovery of the breach, give written notice to the other Members of the nature of the breach.  The Member must immediately, and upon consultation with the other Members, take all necessary reasonable steps to limit the extent of the breach.
(g)    Disclosure or use of Confidential Information and Competitively Sensitive Information contrary to, or other breach of, this Agreement, or any other failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement by a Member, will give rise to irreparable injury to the Company and Affiliates, inadequately compensable in damages. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, may, in addition to any other remedy and in conjunction with Section 10.08, enforce the performance of this

ARTICLE TWO
OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES
2.1    Rights to Develop Additional Phases; Implementation of Subsequent Phases.
(a)    Project Company acknowledges and agrees to the right of Developer and its Affiliates to Implement Additional Phases, including any Subsequent Phase, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Developer agrees that it will not Implement or cause or permit any of its Affiliates to Implement any Subsequent Phase, except in compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1.
(b)    Prior to Implementation of any Subsequent Phase, Developer will cause the Subsequent Party at its expense to present a detailed development procedure (including the proposed design and construction timetable for the Subsequent Phase) (the “Phase Design”) sufficient, in the judgment of the Independent Engineer after review of the Phase Design, to allow the Independent Engineer to analyze and determine the Wind Interference Effect and provide a written conclusion regarding the reasonableness of the O&M Effect and the Transmission Access Effect, if any, and Project Company and Developer will cause (at the sole cost and expense of such Subsequent Party) the Independent Engineer to calculate the Wind Interference Effect and provide a written conclusion regarding the reasonableness of the O&M Effect and the Transmission Access Effect; provided that each Party shall be entitled to provide comments and feedback in respect of such calculations or confirmations, if any.
(c)    The Wind Interference Effect so calculated under Section 2.1(b) will be used to calculate a preliminary estimate of the Wind Interference Payment, if any (the sum of the estimates of the O&M Effect, the Transmission Access Effect and the Wind Interference Payment, the “Preliminary Cash Adjustments”); provided that the sum of the O&M Effect, the Transmission Access Effect and the Wind Interference Payment shall not be less than the amount required to maintain the Scheduled Flip Date as determined by running the Base Case Model by changing the assumptions solely to give effect to the Wind Interference Effect, the increased costs or cash savings giving rise to the O&M Effect and the assumptions giving rise to the Transmission Access Effect.
(d)    As a condition to commencing construction of any Subsequent Phase, (1) the Subsequent Party shall, and to the extent the Subsequent Party is Developer or an Affiliate of Developer, Developer shall, or Developer and the Subsequent Party jointly and severally shall, as the case may be, commit in writing to pay Project Company the Final Cash Adjustment (as calculated in Section 2.1(g) below) upon the commercial operation date of the Subsequent Phase and (2) the Subsequent Party shall, and to the extent the Subsequent Party is Developer or an Affiliate of Developer, Developer shall (or shall cause the Subsequent Party to) (i) cause a letter of credit to be provided to Project Company in the amount of the Preliminary Cash Adjustments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Project Company or (ii) provide other security in form, substance and amount reasonably satisfactory to Project Company of the obligation to pay the Preliminary Cash Adjustments; provided that in the case that such Subsequent Party is Developer or an Affiliate of Developer, to the extent that the amount of the Preliminary Cash

Adjustments is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), no letter of credit or other security shall be required for such amount.
(e)    Upon completion of construction of the Subsequent Phase (or, in the case of the addition or relocation of any Wind Turbine that constitutes a Subsequent Phase pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of Subsequent Phase, upon completion of such addition or relocation), Developer and Project Company will cause the Independent Engineer to confirm whether the Subsequent Phase was built in accordance with the Phase Design and, to the extent the final design or operations date for the Subsequent Phase varies from the Phase Design, calculate the corresponding variance, if any, in the Wind Interference Effect, and confirm as reasonable any variance in the O&M Effect and the Transmission Access Effect (in each case after reviewing such final design and operations date) as a result of any such change in the Phase Design or operations date; provided that each Party shall be entitled to provide comments and feedback in respect of such calculations or confirmations, if any.
(f)    The Wind Interference Effect so calculated under Section 2.1(b) as updated pursuant to Section 2.1(e) will be used to calculate the Wind Interference Payment, if any.
(g)    Promptly, and in no event later than ten (10) business days, following the determination of any change in the Wind Interference Payment, so calculated and as updated under Section 2.1(f), the O&M Effect and the Transmission Access Effect pursuant to Section 2.1(e), Developer will pay, or cause the Subsequent Party to pay, cash to Project Company in an amount equal to the sum of the Wind Interference Payment, the O&M Effect (which may be negative) and the Transmission Access Effect (the “Final Cash Adjustment”) and the letter of credit or other security provided pursuant to Section 2.1(d) shall be returned to the Subsequent Party; provided that the sum of the O&M Effect, the Transmission Access Effect and the Wind Interference Payment shall not be less than the amount required to maintain the Scheduled Flip Date as determined by running the Base Case Model by changing the assumptions solely to give effect to the Wind Interference Effect, the increased costs or cash savings giving rise to the O&M Effect and the assumptions giving rise to the Transmission Access Effect.
(h)    In connection with any sale, transfer or assignment of a Subsequent Phase or any portion thereof to an entity that is not controlled by Developer, Developer shall (i) assign and delegate to the owner thereof or any entity that controls such owner (collectively, the “Owner”), and cause such Owner to assume, the rights and obligations of Developer under this Agreement to the extent relating to such Subsequent Phase or require such Owner to enter into a separate build out agreement in respect of such Subsequent Phase in substantially the same form as this Agreement whereupon Developer shall have no further obligation in respect of such Subsequent Phase and (ii) provide to the Project Company thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such sale, transfer or assignment and copies of the sale, assignment and transfer agreements containing such assignment and assumption of the rights and obligations of Developer under this Agreement or a copy of such build out agreement, as applicable.

(a)    Upon the request of Developer in respect of the Implementation of any Subsequent Phase and in no event later than the closing of the construction financing in respect of such Subsequent Phase, Project Company agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2, to enter into a Co-Tenancy or Common Facilities and Easement Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2 or in such other form as the Parties may agree (each, a “Co-Tenancy/ Common Facilities and Easement Agreement”), with any entity that is an assignee of Developer’s development rights of such Subsequent Phase or that Implements such Subsequent Phase in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.
(b)    Each Party agrees that any such Co-Tenancy/ Common Facilities and Easement Agreement will provide, in addition to the other customary provisions to be agreed to by the Parties and subject to the terms and conditions of the Co-Tenancy/ Common Facilities and Easement Agreement, for the right and obligation of any Subsequent Phase to share, in accordance with such Subsequent Phase’s Pro Rata Share or such other percentage as reasonably determined by the Parties based on the relative benefits, costs, and liabilities associated with the Project and the Subsequent Phase as shall be set forth in such agreement, but in no event shall “Common Facilities” (to be defined in the Co-Tenancy/ Common Facilities and Easement Agreement) include any asset with a design rating or capacity that is not capable (after giving effect to any upgrade or improvement provided by the Subsequent Party at its sole cost) of accommodating the joint use of the Project and the applicable Subsequent Phase without impairing the use of the Project (other than any such impairment in use that gives rise to a Transmission Access Effect or O&M Effect that is addressed under Section 2.1) or the Wind Farm as reasonably determined by Project Company; provided that, except as otherwise agreed in such agreement, the Subsequent Party shall not be obligated to pay a pro rata share of the capital costs of such facilities that are so excluded from the Common Facilities; provided, further, however, that notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if any such sharing would cause an increase in the costs (including operation and maintenance costs) and/or liabilities of the Project, such additional cost or liability shall be included in the O&M Effect and such Subsequent Phase shall be solely responsible for such incremental increase.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein, no Subsequent Phase shall have any right to share the Interconnection Agreement or the Project substation.
(d)    Upon request of Developer, Project Company shall take such actions as Developer shall reasonably request to ensure that the participants in any Subsequent Phase possess sufficient real estate rights in respect to the lands covered by the Easements and Leases to develop that Subsequent Phase in an orderly and financeable manner; such actions include, without limitation, the granting of consents and waivers with respect to exclusivity, easements, sub-easements or other real estate rights in respect to the lands covered by the Easements and Leases and, if necessary, cooperating with and assisting Developer in obtaining such rights from the owners of such lands solely to the extent that such action does not impair in any material respect the ability of Project Company to operate the Project.

If the two arbitrators to be appointed fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then the third arbitrator will be appointed by the President of the American Arbitration Association at the written request of either Party.  The arbitration proceedings will take place in San Francisco, California and the language of such proceedings, including arguments and briefs, will be English.  The proceedings will be confidential in all respects. The award of the arbitrators will be by majority vote and will be in writing, will set forth the facts found by the arbitrators to exist, their determination and the basis of their determination. Any award will be made in US dollars.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement which may be interpreted to the contrary, the arbitral tribunal will not have the authority to award consequential or punitive damages.  Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses.  The fees and expenses for the arbitral panel will be borne equally by the Parties; provided, however, that the arbitral panel may assess attorney’s fees and costs against either Party.  The award of the arbitral tribunal will be final and not subject to appeal and judgment upon the award may be entered in any competent court.
3.15    Memorandum.  Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Parties shall execute and Developer shall record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of Curry County, New Mexico (the “Official Records”) a memorandum of this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Schedule 3 (the “Memorandum”).  The provisions of this Agreement will control, however, with regard to any omissions from, or provisions of this Agreement that may be in conflict with, the Memorandum.

J.    To govern their respective rights and obligations with respect to the Common Facilities, easements or other land rights, including the Common Facilities Easements, and the Shared Expenses, the Parties are entering into this Agreement, which shall be the Parties’ expression of their intention to establish and impose mutually beneficial limitations, restrictions, covenants and conditions to provide for the proper and orderly ownership, operation and management of their interests in their respective Projects.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Parties hereby agrees as follows:  

1.    DECLARATION OF INTENTION. The Parties hereby declare that, as of the Transfer Date, their relationship in and to the Common Facilities is and will be that of tenants in common, expressly subject, however, to the terms, conditions, limitations and requirements set forth in this Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute the Parties as partners or joint venturers.

2.    COMMON FACILITIES, SHARED EXPENSES ETC.
2.1    Transfer of Common Facilities.
(a)    Prior to the occurrence of the Transfer Date, (i) Grady is the sole owner of the Common Facilities and (ii) Developer shall have no right to utilize the Common Facilities other than in connection with the interconnection of the Additional Phase to the Common Facilities (the “Additional Phase Connection”) in accordance with the terms set forth herein.
(b)    If and when the Transfer Date occurs, Grady shall automatically Transfer to Developer a portion of its interest in and to the Common Facilities such that, as of the Transfer Date, each of Grady and Developer shall have an undivided interest, as tenant in common with each of the other Parties, in and to the Common Facilities in the amount equal to the Project Percentage Interest of such Party, as applicable, effective as of the Transfer Date.  The undivided interests so Transferred shall be memorialized by Developer’s recording of the Memorandum of Transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, executed and acknowledged on the Transfer Date, in original and delivered in original which shall be retained in its original by Developer for recording.  Developer shall record, in the official real property records of Curry County, New Mexico (the “Official Records”), the Memorandum of Transfer on or after the Transfer Date.
2.2    Shared Expenses.  
(a)    Each Party hereby confirms its obligation to share in the periodic payment of Shared Expenses, and agrees, severally but not jointly, to pay its Project Percentage Interest of the Shared Expenses as and when due and payable; provided, however, that Developer’s obligations to share in the payment of Shared Expenses shall only arise after the Transfer Date and only with 

Schedule 2 - Page 2
Co-Tenancy, Common Facilities and Easement Agreement
(Grady Wind Energy Center, LLC)
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

respect to Shared Expenses incurred after the Transfer Date.  The Parties shall cause the Shared Expense Administrator, as authorized agent for each Party, to administer the collection and payment of the Shared Expenses, whether invoiced by each expense payee against a particular Project or invoiced as an aggregate expense of all Parties.  Each Party shall pay each invoice for Shared Expenses promptly upon, and in any event within ten (10) days of, receipt of written notice thereof from the Shared Expense Administrator.
(b)    As it becomes practicable and desirable, the Parties from time to time may designate additional expenses as Shared Expenses to be administered by the Shared Expense Administrator in accordance with this Section 2.2.  Each further designation of Shared Expenses may be proposed by any Party, but shall only be approved by an amendment to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.3 hereof.  If any Party defaults in the payment of a Shared Expense following receipt of an invoice as provided above, the other Party or Parties may, after providing the defaulting party with notice in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof, make such payment on behalf of the defaulting Party and the defaulting Party shall promptly reimburse the paying Party for all amounts paid by such paying Party on the defaulting Party’s behalf, including interest on such amounts at the Default Rate.

2.3    Common Facilities Easement.  On the Effective Date, Grady and Developer shall each execute and deliver to the other a non-exclusive Common Facilities Easement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2, which shall provide Developer the right to use the easements of Grady on which the Common Facilities and the Additional Phase are anticipated to be located, for the purposes of the connection of the Additional Phase with the Common Facilities.  On the Transfer Date, Grady and Developer shall each execute and deliver to the other a non-exclusive Common Facilities Easement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2, which shall provide Developer the right to use the easements of Grady on which the Common Facilities and the Additional Phase are anticipated to be located, for the purposes of ingress and egress to and from, and operation, maintenance and inspection of, the Common Facilities and the Additional Phase.  The Parties each acknowledge that the Operators shall also be authorized under, and subject to, the Common Facilities Easements to use the rights of the Parties to the same extent as the Parties and which are necessary for the performance of their respective duties under the O&M Agreements.  Developer may obtain direct easements from landowners for its use for the purposes for which the Common Facilities Easement is granted and shall have the right to terminate the Common Facilities Easement in whole or in part.

2.4    Wind and Other Data.     Each Party agrees to share with the other Party its current and historical wind, avian, wildlife, and meteorological data collected from anemometers, radar and other equipment from locations on its Project Lands and any other material information of such type obtained from such Party’s ordinary course use of its Project Lands.  The sharing Party makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, and shall have no liability with respect to the information so provided, whether for completeness, accuracy or otherwise.  The receiving Party shall maintain the confidentiality of the information received in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s obligations under this Section 2.4 shall commence as of the Effective Date.

Schedule 2 - Page 3

(Grady Wind Energy Center, LLC)
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

2.5.    Consent to Relocate Turbine.    Without the written consent of the other Party hereto, no Party may move its respective wind turbines (or any of them) from the location of such wind turbines as of the date of the completion of the construction of such Party’s Project.

2.6.    Project Owner Rights.  (a)  Each Party agrees that subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the owner of any Project shall have the right and obligation to share, in accordance with its Project Percentage Interest, in the benefits, costs and liabilities of the Common Facilities; provided, however, that such rights and obligations shall only commence with respect to Developer from and after the Transfer Date unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Grady shall have no obligation to share any Common Facilities with Developer if the Common Facilities have a design rating or capacity that is not capable (after giving effect to any upgrade or improvement provided by Developer at its sole cost) of accommodating the joint use of the Projects owned by the Parties without impairing the use of any of the Projects owned by the Parties as reasonably determined by Grady; provided that Developer shall not be obligated to pay a pro rata share of the capital costs of any Common Facilities its use of which is excluded pursuant to the foregoing; provided, further, however, that notwithstanding any of the foregoing or the occurrence of the Transfer Date, Developer shall remain responsible for the cost of upgrades and improvements to the Common Facilities necessary solely for the Additional Phase at its sole cost, and if any such sharing of the Common Facilities causes an increase in the costs (including, without limitation, operation and maintenance costs) and/or liabilities of the Parties, Developer shall be solely responsible for such incremental increase.  If Grady and Developer agree to upgrade or make improvements to any Common Facilities for the mutual benefit of each Party’s Project, the Parties shall share, in accordance with its Project Percentage Interest, in the benefits, costs and liabilities of such upgrades and improvements to the Common Facilities so approved by the Parties.  Neither Grady nor Developer shall upgrade or make improvements to any Common Facilities without the prior written approval of the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b)    If the final layout and design of the Additional Phase deviates from the planned layout and design of such Project as of the Effective Date, this Agreement shall be modified by the Parties to reflect the final layout and design and such amendment shall:  (i) preserve and confirm all rights and protections afforded to Grady under this Agreement, (ii) not increase any obligation of Grady under this Agreement, (iii) confirm the Parties’ rights and privileges to share ownership of the Common Facilities as provided in this Agreement, and (iv) confirm the Parties’ rights to be granted easements for access to and use of such facilities and other rights and easements as provided to the Additional Phase in a manner consistent with this Agreement and in form and substance satisfactory to the Parties; provided, that any dispute over the technical aspects of sharing ownership to be reflected in such amendments shall be referred to the Independent Engineer for final and binding resolution in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(c)    Upon request of Grady or Developer, the Parties shall, at the requesting Party’s sole expense, take such commercially reasonable actions as the requesting Party shall reasonably request to ensure that such Party possesses sufficient real estate rights in respect to the lands covered by the Wind Farm Complex to develop or sell such Party’s Project or any interest 

Schedule 2 - Page 4
Co-Tenancy, Common Facilities and Easement Agreement
(Grady Wind Energy Center, LLC)
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

therein in an orderly, financeable and saleable manner; such actions to include without limitation, the granting of easements, sub-easements, subleases or other real estate rights in respect to the interests in lands already owned by such Party for among other things, access for development, construction, operation, maintenance and repair, communications systems, substations, and electrical collection systems, and if requested each Party will reasonably cooperate and assist the requesting Party (at the requesting Party’s sole cost) in obtaining such rights from the owners of such lands. 

(d)    Developer shall be responsible for (and for all costs in respect of) the Additional Phase Connection.  Developer acknowledges and agrees that the Additional Phase Connection may result in (i) damage to the Project Controlled Assets of Grady, (ii) claims from third parties, and (iii) lost revenues associated with scheduled and/or unscheduled outages and/or curtailment of some or all of the energy production from the Grady Project (including the cash value of any lost federal production tax credits and any state renewable energy credits, grossed up based on the actual federal income tax rate applicable to Grady, penalties imposed on Grady or damages payable by Grady to a power purchaser, energy hedge provider or transmission service provider for the Grady Project) (together with related costs and/or expenses, but without duplication of any amounts included in the Transmission Access Effect (as defined in the Build-Out Agreement), collectively, “Developer-Caused Losses”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Developer-Caused Losses shall not include the effect of any electrical line losses to the extent such line losses are taken into account in the Base Case Model (as defined in the Build-Out Agreement).  All Developer-Caused Losses shall be the sole responsibility of Developer.  As part of the process for interconnection of the Additional Phase, the Parties shall establish a protocol to reasonably minimize disruptions to the Grady Project during the construction and initial interconnection of the Additional Phase to the Common Facilities and an estimate of anticipated Developer-Caused Losses.  Within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice from Developer that the Additional Phase Connection has been completed, Grady shall reasonably determine its actual Developer-Caused Losses and deliver reasonable backup documentation supporting the calculation thereof to Developer.  Any dispute regarding the calculation of Developer-Caused Losses shall be determined by the Independent Engineer.  Developer shall promptly pay all undisputed Developer-Caused Losses and the costs of engaging the Independent Engineer (if and to the extent the Independent Engineer is engaged pursuant to this Section 2.6(d)) for the services required under this Section 2.6(d) following receipt of the calculation of the Developer-Caused Losses from Grady.  Grady shall have all other rights and remedies as may be provided in this Agreement otherwise available at law or in equity resulting from Developer’s failure to pay to Grady all Developer-Caused Losses.

(e)    Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the operation of and/or any changes in such Party’s Project (an “Impacting Owner”) that require or result in scheduled or unscheduled outages and/or curtailment of some or all of the energy production from the other Party’s Project (a “Curtailment”) may result in (x) claims from third parties against any of the Parties not causing the Curtailment (each, an “Affected Owner”), and (y) lost revenues of such Affected Owner (including the cash value of any lost federal production tax credits, grossed up based on the actual federal income tax rate applicable to such Affected Owner, penalties imposed on such Affected Owner or damages payable by such Affected Owner to a power purchaser, energy hedge provider 

Schedule 2 - Page 5

or transmission service provider for such Affected Owner’s Project) (together with related costs and/or expenses, collectively, “Affected Owner Curtailment Losses”); provided that in no event shall curtailment of a Project arising as a result of or in connection with congestion or otherwise resulting from the ordinary course of operation of the Projects constitute a “Curtailment” pursuant to this Section 2.6(e). All Affected Owner Curtailment Losses shall be the sole responsibility of the Impacting Owner. If an Impacting Owner’s Curtailment is scheduled (a “Scheduled Curtailment”), the Parties shall establish a protocol to reasonably minimize disruptions to any Affected Owner’s Project during the period of the Scheduled Curtailment. Prior to beginning any activities related to a Scheduled Curtailment, each Affected Owner shall estimate in good faith the anticipated Affected Owner Curtailment Losses and deliver such estimate to the Impacting Owner. Upon the conclusion of any Curtailment, whether planned or unplanned, each Affected Owner shall determine its actual Affected Owner Curtailment Losses and deliver reasonable backup documentation supporting the calculation thereof to the Impacting Owner. Any dispute regarding the calculation of Affected Owner Curtailment Losses shall be determined by the Independent Engineer. The Impacting Owner shall promptly pay all undisputed Affected Owner Curtailment Losses to the applicable Affected Owner and, if applicable, the costs of engaging the Independent Engineer for the services required under this Section 2.6(e) following receipt of the calculation of the Affected Owner Curtailment Losses from such Affected Owner. Each Affected Owner shall have all other rights and remedies as may be provided in this Agreement otherwise available at law or in equity resulting from an Impacting Owner’s failure to pay to such Affected Owner all Affected Owner Curtailment Losses.

      3.    TERM.  The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, and, unless sooner terminated by mutual agreement of the Parties or the consolidation of ownership of the Common Facilities in a single Party, shall continue as to each Party for the commercial life of its Project, not to exceed fifty (50) years from the Effective Date; provided, however, that the rights and obligations of Developer provided for in this Agreement shall only commence on the Transfer Date, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

      4    CONDITION OF PROPERTY AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.  Developer accepts the Common Facilities in their condition existing as of the Transfer Date or the date of a grant to it of a Common Facilities Easement granting rights therein and on an “As-Is” basis and subject to all Laws and, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4, all covenants, conditions, reservations, restrictions, easements, liens, encumbrances and other matters affecting the Common Facilities.  Developer acknowledges that neither Grady nor any of its representatives or agents has made any representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Common Facilities or any portion thereof for the conduct of the operations of Developer or for any other purpose.

      5.    INDEMNITY, USE AND COMPLIANCE.  

5.1    Indemnity.    Each Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party (an “Indemnified Party”) and its Indemnitees from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, judgments, liens, penalties, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees, which may be imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnified Party or its Indemnitees or asserted against such 

Schedule 2 - Page 6
Co-Tenancy, Common Facilities and Easement Agreement
(Grady Wind Energy Center, LLC)
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

Indemnified Party by any third Person in connection with (i) any negligent or willful acts, bad faith or reckless misconduct or any omissions (where such Indemnifying Party (or any of its directors, officers, partners, members, Affiliates, employees, agents, successors and assigns) has a legal or contractual duty to act) of or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party or its directors, officers, partners, members, Affiliates, employees, agents, successors and assigns, on or with respect to its Project Controlled Assets, (ii) the performance by the Indemnifying Party (or any of its directors, officers, partners, members, Affiliates, employees, agents, successors and assigns) of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) breach of the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) any other action by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party (or any of its directors, officers, partners, members, Affiliates, employees, agents, successors and assigns) on the Project Land, or on the Common Facilities located on the Project Land, of any other Project, in each case of clauses (i) through (iv), at any time after the Effective Date.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, each Party’s obligations under this Section 5.1 shall survive the expiration of the term of this Agreement or earlier termination of this Agreement; provided, however that any such obligation shall survive such expiration or earlier termination only to the extent that the event giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Section 5.1 shall have arisen prior to such expiration or earlier termination.  Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s obligations under this Section 5.1 shall commence as of the Effective Date.

5.2    Environmental Compliance.    Without limiting the scope of each Party’s obligations under Section 5.1 hereof, each Party shall, with respect to its Project Controlled Assets (other than any portion of the Project Controlled Assets that constitutes Common Facilities), be responsible for all investigations, studies, clean up, corrective action or response or remedial action required by any governmental authority now or hereafter authorized to regulate environmental or other matters (for the avoidance of doubt, “environmental” matters include, but are not limited to, the protection of natural resources and wildlife) or by any consent decree or court or administrative order now or hereafter applicable to such Party’s use, operation or ownership of its Project Controlled Assets, except to the extent that such investigations, studies, clean up, corrective action or response or remedial action are required in response to the actions, negligence, misconduct or negligent omissions of the other Party in which case such other Party shall be responsible for all investigations, studies, clean up, corrective action or response or remedial action to the extent arising from its negligence, misconduct or negligent omissions.  Each Party shall have the right (but not the obligation, unless otherwise required above) to participate in the management and control of all investigations and any environmental clean up, remediation or related activities relating to its Project Controlled Assets.  With respect to the Common Facilities, the Operator for the Common Facilities shall oversee all investigations, studies, clean up, corrective action or response or remedial action  required by any governmental authority now or hereafter authorized to regulate environmental or other matters or by any consent decree or court or administrative order now or hereafter applicable to the Parties’ use, operation or ownership of the Common Facilities, and subject to Section 5.1 (as between the Parties), each Party shall be responsible, in proportion to its Project Percentage Interest, determined as of the date of the event resulting in any such investigation, environmental cleanup, corrective action or response or remedial action, for all liabilities related to such investigations, studies, clean-up, corrective action or response or remedial action, except to the extent that such 

Schedule 2 - Page 7
Co-Tenancy, Common Facilities and Easement Agreement
(Grady Wind Energy Center, LLC)
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

investigations, studies, clean up, corrective action or response or remedial action are required in response to the actions, negligence, misconduct or negligent omissions of a Party in which case such Party shall be responsible for all investigations, studies, clean up, corrective action or response or remedial action to the extent arising from its negligence, misconduct or negligent omissions.  Each Party covenants and agrees to promptly provide a copy to the other Party of any written correspondence between it and any governmental authority with respect to environmental matters relating to the Common Facilities or its other Project Controlled Assets to the extent that it could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Common Facilities or the other Party’s other Project Controlled Assets. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s obligations under this Section 5.2 shall commence as of the Effective Date.

          5.3.    No Waste or Nuisance; Maintenance; No Interference.   No Party shall use or permit the use of the Common Facilities in any manner that would create waste or nuisance, or that would increase the rate, or jeopardize the issuance or maintenance, of any insurance policy relating to the Common Facilities and/or Project Lands, nor otherwise conduct or cause to be conducted operations on its Project Lands which would have similar effects on, or otherwise damage or interfere with, the Common Facilities located on its Project Lands.   The Parties shall at all times while conducting their respective operations and activities on the Wind Farm Complex make reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of such operations and activities upon the  other Party’s use of the Common Facilities. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s obligations under this Section 5.3 shall commence as of the Effective Date.

5.4    Liens.  Each Party shall have the right to grant liens to Lenders providing financing for the construction or operation of its Project or otherwise in such Party’s undivided interests in the Common Facilities and its interests under the Common Facilities Easements as provided in Section 7 of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) no Party shall cause or permit any lien or encumbrance to be levied against or attached to the other Party’s interests in the Common Facilities and (ii) all Transfers of undivided interests in the Common Facilities to the other Party shall be free of any lien or encumbrance. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s obligations under this Section 5.4 shall commence as of the Effective Date.  

5.5    Taxes.  Each Party shall pay all real and personal property taxes and assessments, general or special, levied against its Project or the facilities and fixtures located thereon.  All such taxes and assessments shall be paid before delinquency and before any fine, interest or penalty shall become due or be imposed for their non-payment. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s obligations under this Section 5.5 shall commence as of the Effective Date.

5.6    Insurance.  

(a)     Each Party shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain during the term of this Agreement, or cause to be procured and maintained, insurance against liability for injury to persons and/or property and death of any person or persons occurring, in, on or about the 

Schedule 2 - Page 8
Co-Tenancy, Common Facilities and Easement Agreement
(Grady Wind Energy Center, LLC)
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

Common Facilities in amounts and types of coverage consistent with prudent industry practice to the extent such insurance is reasonably available or obtainable on a commercially reasonable basis in the commercial insurance market.  In addition, all insurance shall be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by any other Person is excess and is non-contributing. 

(b)    Each Party shall name the other Party as an additional insured with respect to any injury or damage arising from the presence or activities undertaken by such Party to the extent of the indemnity obligations assumed hereunder. Upon request, each Party shall furnish to the other Party a certificate of insurance from its insurance carrier showing that the above required insurance is in full force and effect and the amount of the carrier’s liability thereunder, together with evidence of payment of the applicable premium for a period of at least one (1) year. 

5.7    Certain Agreements to Indemnify, Hold Harmless, Insure or Defend: Limitations.  The intent of the Parties is to have their indemnity and other agreements, if and to the extent they are subject to New Mexico’s indemnity-limiting  statutes, NMSA 1978, § 56-7-1 (2005) and NMSA 1978 § 56-7-2 (2003), enforced pursuant to their respective terms and limited only to the extent necessary to conform with and survive such indemnity-limiting statutes (i) as in effect at the time of the Parties’ entry into this Agreement, and (ii) as subsequently amended if it is determined by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction that one or both such statutes are applicable as subsequently amended.  Accordingly, the Parties agree that this Section 5.7 will apply only to the extent necessary to reform the indemnity and other agreements of the Parties that are subject to New Mexico’s indemnity-limiting statutes so that the same will be enforceable pursuant to their respective terms and comply with and not be void as a result of the application of NMSA 1978, § 56-7-1 (2005) or NMSA 1978 § 56-7-2 (2003).  The Parties reaffirm their intent that this Agreement be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the governing law chosen in Section 9.9 hereof.  To the extent, if at all, that any provision contained in this Agreement, including any exhibits hereto, or other related documents requiring one Party to indemnify, hold harmless, insure, or defend another Party (including such other Party’s employees or agents) is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, or by all of the Parties, to be within the scope of NMSA 1978, § 56-7-1 (2005) or in any way subject to, or conditioned upon consistency with, the provisions of NMSA 1978, § 56-7-1 (2005) for its enforceability, then regardless of whether such provision makes reference to this or any other limitation provision, to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law: (A) such provision shall not, and is not intended to, extend to liability, claims, damages, losses or expenses, including attorney fees, arising out of bodily injury to persons or damage to property caused by or resulting from, in whole or in part, the negligence, act or omission of the indemnitee or additional insured, as the case may be, its officers, employees or agents, to the extent of the indemnitee’s or additional insured’s own negligence, act or omission, so long as this qualification is consistent with applicable New Mexico law; (B) such provision shall be enforced only to the extent that the liability, damages, losses or costs are caused by, or arise out of, the acts or omissions of the indemnitor or its officers, employees or agents; and (C) such provision shall be further or otherwise modified, if required, by, or to be consistent with (x) the terms of NMSA 1978, § 56-7-1 (2005) as in effect at the time of the Parties’ entry into this Agreement, (y) the provisions of NMSA 1978, § 56-7-1 (2005) as subsequently amended if it is determined by a court or arbitrator of 

Schedule 2 - Page 9

competent jurisdiction that such statute is applicable as amended, and (z) New Mexico appellate decisions interpreting NMSA 1978, § 56-7-1 (2005), including as amended if it is determined by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction that such statute is applicable as amended. 

 Further, with respect to (1) any agreement, covenant, or promise to indemnify another Party contained in this Agreement, any exhibits to this Agreement or other related document (herein referred to as an “Indemnification Covenant” for purposes of the remainder of this Section 5.7), and (2) any provision in an insurance contract indemnity agreement naming a person as an additional insured, or in an insurance contract or other contract requiring a waiver of rights of subrogation or otherwise having the effect of imposing a duty of indemnification on a primary insured party, contained in or required by this Agreement, including any exhibits, or any loan document or related document (hereinafter referred to as an “Insurance Provision” for purposes of the remainder of this Section 5.7), the Parties agree as set out in the balance of this paragraph.  Notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any Indemnification Covenant or any Insurance Provision, to the extent, if at all, that the Agreement or any such Indemnification Covenant or any Insurance Provision is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, or by all of the Parties, to be within the scope of NMSA 1978, § 56-7-2 (2003) or in any way subject to, or conditioned upon consistency with, the provisions of NMSA 1978, § 56-7-2 (2003) for its enforceability, then regardless of whether such Agreement, Indemnification Covenant or such Insurance Provision makes reference to this limitation provision in this Section 5.7, or any other limitation provision, to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law: (A) such Agreement, Indemnification Covenant or Insurance Provision shall not and does not, and is not intended to, directly or in effect, indemnify the indemnitee against loss or liability for damages arising from: (i) the sole or concurrent negligence of the indemnitee or additional insured or the agents or employees of the indemnitee or additional insured, to the extent of the indemnitee’s or additional insured’s own negligence so long as this qualification is consistent with applicable New Mexico law; (ii) the sole or concurrent negligence of an independent contractor who is directly responsible to the indemnitee or additional insured, to the extent of the indemnitee’s or additional insured’s own negligence so long as this qualification is consistent with applicable New Mexico law; or (iii) an accident that occurs in operations carried on at the direction or under the supervision of the indemnitee or additional insured, an employee or representative of the indemnitee or additional insured or in accordance with methods and means specified by the indemnitee or additional insured or the employees or representatives of the indemnitee or additional insured; and (B) such Agreement, Indemnification Covenant or Insurance Provision shall be further or otherwise modified, if required, by or to be consistent with (x) the provisions of NMSA 1978, § 56-7-2 (2003) as in effect at the time of the Parties’ entry into this Agreement, (y) the provisions of NMSA 1978, § 56-7-2 (2003) as subsequently amended if it is determined by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction that such statute is applicable as amended, and (z) New Mexico appellate decisions interpreting NMSA 1978, § 56-7-2 (2003), including as amended if it is determined by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction that such statute is applicable as amended.
The provisions of this Section 5.7 are also deemed to be incorporated by reference into each and every of the other related documents containing indemnity agreements as if such provisions were specifically set forth in full in the body of each and every such document, provided 

Schedule 2 - Page 10
Co-Tenancy, Common Facilities and Easement Agreement
(Grady Wind Energy Center, LLC)
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

that the reference in this Section 5.7 to Section 9.9 hereof shall be replaced in each and every of such documents by the reference to the provision, if any, in the document that expresses the governing law for that document and provided that the reference in this Section 5.7 to “Agreement” shall be replaced in each and every such document by a reference to the name of that document.
      6.    OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT.   Each Party is required to operate and maintain its Project Controlled Assets (other than any portion of such Project Controlled Assets that constitutes Common Facilities) and to utilize the Common Facilities acting as a prudent operator and manager and otherwise (i) in a safe manner, (ii) in accordance with good operating practice, (iii) in compliance with all Laws and (iv) without causing a material adverse effect on the other Party.  The Parties shall enter into mutually satisfactory arrangements for the operation and maintenance of the Common Facilities by a single Operator, the costs of which shall constitute Shared Expenses; provided, however, the Party that does not have an O&M Agreement with such Operator under which it is effectively bearing its Project Percentage Interest of the cost of operation of the Common Facilities consents to pay a portion of the cost borne by the other Parties to operate the Common Facilities equal to its Project Percentage Interest.  To the extent required for enforcement, each Party to which any warranty was issued with respect to any of the Common Facilities shall, at the request and expense of the other Party, pursue any claims in respect of such warranty for the benefit of each of the Parties.  All performance by an Operator in relation to the Common Facilities shall constitute the performance by the applicable Party of its obligations under this Agreement relating thereto; provided, however, that upon the default of any Operator of any such obligation, the applicable Party shall remain obligated to perform such obligation.  Payment for all expenses relating to Common Facilities that are not covered by an O&M Agreement shall be made by the responsible Party before any penalty for non-payment shall be assessed and in a timely enough manner so that neither the Common Facilities nor the Common Facilities Easements will be jeopardized or made subject to any lien or encumbrance.  Each Party shall bear the risk of damage, loss, condemnation, or taking to or of its Project Controlled Assets (other than any portion of such Project Controlled Assets that constitutes Common Facilities). Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s obligations under the foregoing sentence shall commence as of the Effective Date.

7.    TRANSFER OF INTERESTS.  (a)    No Party (a “Transferring Party”) to this Agreement may Transfer its interest in this Agreement without the consent of the other Party; provided, however, without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the other Party (i) upon the Transfer of all or substantially all of its Project Controlled Assets, the new owner shall be assigned and shall assume the Transferring Party’s interest in this Agreement as a condition to the assignment, in whole or in part according to whether the Transfer was total or partial, and (ii) the new owner shall agree in writing, in form satisfactory to the other Party, to become a Party to this Agreement and shall assume in writing for the benefit of the other Party all prior, existing and future rights, liabilities and obligations of the Transferring Party.  Each Party may collaterally assign its interest in this Agreement, the Common Facilities and the Common Facilities Easements to its lenders or any party taking a security interest in the Common Facilities (herein, together with that Person’s successors and assigns, a “Lender”) as it sees fit; provided that such Party’s Project Controlled Assets are collaterally assigned concurrently therewith, but no such collateral assignment shall

1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

subordinate or otherwise adversely affect the rights of the other Party in and to this Agreement or the assets covered hereby.  In addition, in connection with the financing of each Project, each Party shall upon the reasonable request of the other Party provide customary estoppels and consents in favor of any Lender, including rights of step-in with respect to such Party’s obligations under this Agreement and rights to concurrent notice of default or such other matter as may be reasonably requested by the requesting Party or its Lenders, and in the making of any filings reasonably required by such requesting Party for regulatory compliance, which are customary for comparable transactions and consistent with the terms hereof, all solely at the expense of the requesting Party and at no out-of-pocket cost to the other Party.  All reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with a Transfer or proposed assignment of such Party’s undivided interests hereunder or the actual or proposed pledge, collateral assignment, encumbrance or grant of a security interest in a Party’s undivided interests and its rights under this Agreement to a secured party shall be reimbursed by the Transferring/borrowing Party upon written request therefor by the other Party.  Any Party requesting reimbursement for its expenses shall provide reasonable supporting documentation for such expenses to the Transferring/borrowing Party together with the request therefor. 

(b)    Except as otherwise required or permitted by this Agreement, neither Party shall Transfer all or any part of its interest in a Project unless it causes the transferee to assume its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the interest so transferred.

(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s obligations under this Section 7 shall commence as of the Effective Date.

8.    DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND FORCE MAJEURE.

          8.1    Events of Default; Default. If a Party shall fail to perform its obligations hereunder in any material respect, then such failure shall not constitute a default hereunder unless such Party shall have failed to cure such default within five (5) days after receipt of written notice of a payment default, or thirty (30) days after such Party has obtained knowledge or received written notice of any other default, from the non-defaulting Party; provided, however, that if (i) the nature of the defaulted obligation or obligations other than a payment default (for which no additional cure is permitted) is such that more than thirty (30) days are required, in the exercise of commercially reasonable diligence, for performance of such obligation(s) and (ii) the existence of such breach has not resulted in and would not, after considering the nature of the cure, be reasonably expected to give rise to a circumstance requiring more timely action to prevent any loss of rights or damage or injury to persons or property, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Common Facilities, then such non-performing Party shall not be in default if it commences such performance within such thirty (30)-day period and thereafter continuously pursues the same to completion with commercially reasonable diligence, such extended period not to exceed ninety (90) days, including the initial cure period.  (A) A Party’s failure to comply with the cure periods set forth above, or (B) the occurrence of  the following events with respect to a Party, including (1) any filing of a petition or action under any bankruptcy law, (2) any affirmative act of insolvency (including the consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case, consent to the appointment of a receiver, any 

Schedule 2 - Page 12
Co-Tenancy, Common Facilities and Easement Agreement

assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission of its inability to pay its debt as they become due), (3) the filing of an involuntary petition under any bankruptcy law that is not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days thereafter, or (4) the appointment of a receiver or trustee, which appointment is not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days thereafter  shall constitute an “Event of Default”. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s obligations under this Section 8.1 shall commence as of the Effective Date.

          8.2.    Remedies.  

(a)    In addition to all other remedies permitted by Law or under this Agreement (all of which shall be cumulative), following an Event of Default, (i) the non-defaulting Party and its Lenders or other interest holders shall be entitled following an Event of Default to perform the obligations of the defaulting Party, and the defaulting Party shall reimburse the performing Party for the expenses that it incurred in rendering the performance, plus interest at the Default Rate, and (ii) the non-defaulting Party may require that the Operator of the Common Facilities disconnect the defaulting Party’s Project from the Common Facilities; provided, that the defaulting Party’s Project shall be permitted to reconnect promptly when and if (A) the default is cured, and (B) any and all damages suffered and incurred by the non-defaulting Party have been compensated in a manner consistent with this Agreement, with interest paid at the Default Rate; provided further, that no Party shall have the right to disconnect the other Party’s Project from the Common Facilities other than in accordance with this Section 8.2(a).

(b)    The Parties agree that damages may be an inadequate remedy for a default under this Agreement, and that each Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief including specific performance against the other Party to prevent or eliminate such default.

8.3.    Force Majeure. If performance of this Agreement or of any obligation hereunder is prevented or substantially restricted or interfered with by reason of an event of Force Majeure, the affected Party shall be excused from such performance to the extent of and for the duration of such Force Majeure event. The affected Party shall use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and shall continue performance as soon as such causes are removed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Party shall not be relieved from its monetary obligations arising pursuant to this Agreement. 

9.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.

          9.1    Notices. Any notices, statements, demands, correspondence or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (a) personally, (b) by overnight or other courier or delivery service, prepaid, to the recipient Party’s address shown beneath its signature block to this Agreement or (c) by email.  Notices delivered by (1) hand shall be deemed received when delivered, (2) overnight or other courier or delivery service shall be deemed received on the first to occur of: (A) two (2) business days after deposit in the United States mail or with such overnight or other courier or delivery service, addressed to such address or addresses, (B) written acceptance of delivery by the recipient or (C) written rejection of

          9.5    Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the validity and 
 
enforceability of any other provision hereof; and in the event that any part or provision of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Agreement which can be separated from the invalid, unenforceable provisions shall, nevertheless, continue in full force and effect.

9.6    Further Assurances; Cooperation.  Each Party shall, from time to time, execute, cause to be acknowledged and deliver such documents or instruments, and provide such certificates and consents, as the other Party may reasonably request to carry out and fulfill the transactions, and to permit the exercise and performance of the rights and obligations, as are contemplated hereunder.  Each Party shall take commercially reasonable steps to cooperate with the other Party to effectuate fully the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

9.7    Successors and Assigns.  The Common Facilities shall be held, conveyed, assigned, hypothecated, encumbered, leased, used and occupied, subject to the covenants, terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement, which covenants, terms and provisions shall run with the estates and interests in the land, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Party and each other Person having any interest therein during their ownership thereof, and their respective permitted grantees, heirs, successors and assigns, and shall create privity of contract and estate among the Parties and their respective grantees, heirs, successors and assigns.

Co-Tenancy, Common Facilities and Easement Agreement
(Grady Wind Energy Center, LLC)
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

authority or to commence or prosecute any action or proceeding for partition of the Common Facilities.  Each Party shall be entitled to a decree or order restraining or enjoining such partition, application, action or proceeding upon any breach of the provisions of this Section 9.8.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that they have been paid full consideration for the waiver herein provided.

9.9    Construction.  This Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of New Mexico without regard to the conflict of laws principles of the State of New Mexico.  This Agreement shall be construed equally as between the Parties, and shall not be construed against the Party responsible for its drafting.  Captions in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, and do not define, describe or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof.  No remedy or election of or by a Party hereunder shall be deemed exclusive, but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies available hereunder, at law or in equity.  As used herein, the neuter gender includes the masculine and the feminine, the singular number includes the plural, and vice versa, and the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.”  Any reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and assigns but, in the case of a Party, only if such assigns are permitted by this Agreement, and reference to a Person in a particular capacity excludes such Person in any other capacity.  Any reference to any agreement (including this Agreement), document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or modified and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and, if applicable, the terms of this Agreement. Any reference to any law means such law as amended, modified, codified or reenacted, in whole or in part, and in effect from time to time, including, if applicable, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations to be performed under this Agreement.  All exhibits attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.  The waiver by a Party of any covenant contained herein shall not be deemed a continuing waiver of such covenant or of any other covenant contained herein, or of any subsequent breach by the other Party.  No Party’s acceptance of a payment or performance by the other Party shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding breach by such Party of any provisions hereof.   Any obligations referred to herein to be performed at any time after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, and all indemnities and hold harmless agreements provided herein, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

9.10    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.11    Confidentiality.  Each Party shall hold, and shall use all reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates and its and their respective managers, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to hold, in strict confidence from any other Person (other than such Affiliates and Representatives) all information pertaining to the wind and other data provided by either Party to the other Party pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement which is either non-public, confidential or proprietary in nature, together with all analyses, compilations, data, studies or other documents prepared with respect thereto by either Party or its Representatives consistent with its own practices, unless compelled to disclose such information 

Schedule 2 - Page 15
Co-Tenancy, Common Facilities and Easement Agreement
(Grady Wind Energy Center, LLC)
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of applicable Laws.  If a Party receiving any such confidential information (the “Receiving Party”) is required to disclose any such confidential information pursuant to any subpoena or any other equivalent legal process, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Party who disclosed such confidential information (the “Disclosing Party”) so that the Disclosing Party can seek a protective order from the court having jurisdiction in such matter or otherwise seek to prevent or limit the scope or impose conditions upon such disclosure.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, confidential information shall not include information (x) that was publicly available at the time of the disclosure thereof or (y) that becomes publicly available other than through actions of the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives in violation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s obligations under this Section 9.11 shall commence as of the Effective Date.

9.12    Dispute Resolution.  

(a)    The Parties will attempt, in good faith, to resolve or cure all disputes and claims before initiating any legal action or attempting to enforce any rights or remedies under this Agreement, at law or in equity (regardless of whether this Section 9.12 is referenced in the provision of this Agreement which is the basis for any such dispute).  If any Party believes that a breach or a dispute under this Agreement has arisen, such Party will give written notice thereof to the other Party, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the basis and specifics of the claimed breach or dispute.  Within five (5) days after delivery of such notice, the Parties will meet (in person or via telephone) to discuss and attempt to resolve or cure such dispute or claimed breach.  If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute or claimed breach within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, the matter will be referred to a senior officer of each Party for resolution or cure.  If such senior officers are unable to agree on an appropriate cure or resolution within ten (10) days after the matter has been referred to them, the Parties may have recourse to mediation, arbitration, or other alternative dispute resolution device of their mutual selection.  If the Parties cannot agree on an alternative dispute resolution device, then either Member may submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section 9.12(c) of this Agreement.

(b)    Pending final resolution of any dispute, the Parties will continue to fulfill their respective obligations under this Agreement; provided that the applicable Party may withhold any amount which is the subject of dispute from any payment otherwise due under this Agreement during the pendency of any dispute resolution proceeding.  Upon resolution of the dispute, any Party found owing an amount will promptly pay to the other Party any amount determined to be due.

(c)    Any disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or expiration but excluding specific performance or injunctive relief, will be finally and completely resolved without appeal by arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”) in force at the date of the request for arbitration, which AAA Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict 

Schedule 2 - Page 16
Co-Tenancy, Common Facilities and Easement Agreement
(Grady Wind Energy Center, LLC)
1557237.09-WASSR01A - MSW

between such rules and the other provisions of this Agreement, such other provisions of this Agreement will control; and provided, further, that discovery shall be conducted consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as determined by the arbitrators.  The arbitral tribunal will consist of three arbitrators, each of which shall be fluent in English.  Each of the Parties shall appoint one arbitrator.  If either Party fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of an appointment of an arbitrator by the other Party, such arbitrator shall at the request of either Party be appointed by the President of the American Arbitration Association.  The two arbitrators so appointed shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of the appointment of the second arbitrator, appoint a third arbitrator who shall act as the chairman of the tribunal.  If the two arbitrators to be appointed fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then the third arbitrator will be appointed by the President of the American Arbitration Association at the written request of either Party.  The arbitration proceedings will take place in New Mexico and the language of such proceedings, including arguments and briefs, will be English.  The proceedings will be confidential in all respects. The award of the arbitrators will be by majority vote and will be in writing, will set forth the facts found by the arbitrators to exist, their determination and the basis of their determination.  Any award will be made in US dollars.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement which may be interpreted to the contrary, the arbitral tribunal will not have the authority to award consequential or punitive damages; provided that any damages or remedies that are expressly set forth in this Agreement (including the cash value of any lost federal production tax credits and any state renewable energy credits) shall not constitute consequential or punitive damages.  Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses.  The fees and expenses for the arbitral panel will be borne equally by the Parties; provided, however, that the arbitral panel may assess attorneys’ fees and costs against either Party.  The award of the arbitral tribunal will be final and not subject to appeal and judgment upon the award may be entered in any competent court.

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s rights and obligations under this Section 9.12 shall commence as of the Effective Date.

9.13    Memorandum.  Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Parties will execute a memorandum of this Agreement (“Memorandum of Agreement”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-3, which Memorandum of Agreement will be recorded in the Official Records.  The provisions of this Agreement will control, however, with regard to any omissions from, or provisions of this Agreement that may be in conflict with, the Memorandum of Agreement.  At such time as this Agreement has been terminated, the Parties agree to execute and record in the Official Records, a termination of the Memorandum of Agreement, which termination will specifically refer to the Memorandum of Agreement and will recite that this Agreement has terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer’s obligations under this Section 9.13 shall commence as of the Effective Date.

9.14    Not a Contract for the Management of Real Estate.  It is the Parties’ express intention that none of them is, or shall be deemed to be, engaged hereunder in “managing property for others,” within the meaning of those quoted words in Chapter 61, Article 29 of the

Capitalized terms used herein without definition are used as defined in the Guaranty.  Pattern has provided Public Sector Pension Investment Board, a Canadian crown corporation (“Obligor”), a complete copy of the fully executed Guaranty, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

By countersigning this letter (the “Letter Agreement”), Pattern (i) represents that the copy of the Guaranty attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and complete copy of such document in the form in which it was executed and delivered by the respective parties thereto, and that it has not been amended or otherwise modified since the date of its execution 

1

and delivery, and (ii) covenants to Obligor that it will not amend or modify, or agree to any amendment or modification, of the Guaranty without the prior written consent of Obligor.

In consideration of the consummation of the Acquisition, Obligor hereby covenants to reimburse Pattern for only the following payments made, or caused to be made, by Pattern under the Guaranty after the date hereof, as follows:

b.  Obligor shall reimburse Pattern for 100% of any payment made by Pattern as required under the Guaranty with respect to any breach described in clause (x) of the definition of “Guarantied LLCA Obligations” in Section 2(a) of the Guaranty on or after the date hereof to the extent directly caused by any breach by Buyer of its representation and warranties or covenants set forth in Section 3.02 and Section 3.03 of the Class B Member LLC Agreement (such payment, a “Subject Payment”); and

c.  Paragraph b notwithstanding, Obligor shall be required to reimburse Pattern only for 49% of any Subject Payment that results from a direct or indirect subsidiary of Obligor (a “PSP Investment Entity”) being treated as a Disqualified Tax-Exempt Person unless (i) Obligor fails to hold its interest in Class B Member by or through a U.S. entity directly or indirectly wholly-owned by Obligor that is treated (pursuant to a valid election under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3 or otherwise) as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes subject to U.S. federal income taxation as a regular C corporation or (ii) dividends or interest paid by such U.S. entity to Obligor (or, if applicable, to any Canadian intermediate parent that is a subsidiary of Obligor) are fully 

2

exempt from U.S. federal income taxation under the Code or Article XXI of the Tax Treaty, and if clause (i) or (ii) applies, Obligor shall be required to reimburse Pattern for 100% of such Subject Payment.

Section 4.  Miscellanous.

(a)    Except as expressly set forth above, Obligor shall have no liability of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Guaranty.

(b)    Obligor agrees that its obligations under this Letter Agreement are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which would or might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of Obligor’s obligations hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Obligor hereby waives:

(i)    any defense arising under or based upon (A) the validity or enforceability of any Guarantied LLCA Obligation or of the Company LLC Agreement, (B) the taking of or delay or failure to take any action by Seller or Pattern to exercise any rights or remedies against Obligor, Buyer or any other Person pursuant to this Letter Agreement, the Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other documents executed and delivered in connection with the Acquisition, (C) the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of Obligor or Buyer, (D) any claim, set-off, counterclaim, defense or other rights that Pattern may have at any time and from time to time against Obligor or Buyer, whether in connection with this transaction or any unrelated transaction, (E) any default, failure, omission or delay, willful or otherwise, on the part of the Class B Member or Pattern to perform or comply with, or the impossibility or illegality of performance by the Class B Member or Pattern or any other Person (other than impossibility or illegality of performance that would apply to the extent that the Guarantied LLCA Obligations were to be performed by Pattern) of, any of the Guarantied LLCA Obligations; (F) any suit or other action brought by, or any judgment in favor of, any beneficiaries or creditors of Obligor, Buyer or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitations, any suit or action in any way attaching or involving any issue, matter or thing in respect of any of the Guarantied LLCA Obligations, the Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other documents executed and delivered in connection with the Acquisition (other than a suit or action to which Pattern is a party or by which Pattern is bound concerning the provisions of this Letter Agreement and/or the scope of Obligor’s obligations hereunder); (G) any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Obligor or Buyer, any invalidity, illegality of, or inability to enforce, any such transfer or purported transfer, any consolidation or merger of Obligor or Buyer; (H) any change, whether direct or indirect, in Obligor’s relationship to Buyer or the Company, including any such change by reason of any merger or consolidation or any sale, transfer, issuance, spin-off, distribution or other disposition of any stock, equity interest or other security of Buyer, the Company, Obligor or any other entity; and

(ii)     any presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any Guarantied LLCA Obligations, suit or the taking of other action by Pattern or Buyer or any other party against, and any other notice to, the 

Beneficiaries, the Company or any other person not required hereunder.  Obligor hereby warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth in this Letter Agreement are made after consultation with legal counsel of its choice and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which Obligor otherwise may have against Pattern or any other person.  If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties that the terms of this Letter Agreement shall control in any and all circumstances, any such waivers or consents are determined to be unenforceable under applicable law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(c)    Obligor hereby confirms that, notwithstanding Section 2.03 of the Sponsor Services Agreement (the “Sponsor Services Agreement”), dated as of June 16, 2017, between Obligor and Pattern, Obligor will remain obligated for all of its obligations and liabilities hereunder following the execution and delivery by Buyer of an Accession Agreement (as defined in the Sponsor Services Agreement) pursuant to such Section 2.03 of the Sponsor Services Agreement, whether arising before or after the date of such Accession Agreement.

(d)    This Letter Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto.

(e)    This Letter Agreement and all of Obligor’s obligations hereunder shall immediately and automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the termination of the Guaranty.

(f)    This Letter Agreement shall be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto (including all disputes (whether for breach of contract or a tort) arising out of this Letter Agreement) shall be determined in accordance with the laws and decisions of the State of New York (without regard to conflict of laws principles or rules that would mandate the application of any law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York).

(g)    Pattern and Obligor each irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America in and for the Southern District of New York, New York, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any New York state court in New York County, for any proceeding arising out of this Letter Agreement.  To the extent that service of process by mail is permitted by applicable law, each of Pattern and Obligor irrevocably consents to the service of process in any proceeding in such courts by the mailing of such process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to its address for notices provided for herein.  Nothing herein shall affect the right of Pattern or Obligor to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.  EACH OF PATTERN AND OBLIGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT THERETO.
