In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction on the part of an Issuing Lender:
(A)such Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of an applicable Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
(B)such Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to decline to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and
(C)clauses (A) and (B) above shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by an Issuing Lender when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under an applicable Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).
(g)Disbursement Procedures. An Issuing Lender for any applicable Letter of Credit shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for an applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by electronic communication of such demand for such Letter of Credit Disbursement and whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make such Letter of Credit Disbursement thereunder and the date (the “Disbursement Date”) of such Letter of Credit Disbursement; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse (without duplication) such Issuing Lender and the Letter of Credit Lenders with respect to any such Letter of Credit Disbursement.
(h)Letter of Credit Disbursement and Borrowing. If any Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit of any Class shall make any Letter of Credit Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Letter of Credit Lender of such Class of the Disbursement Date, the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement, and the amount of such Letter of Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In the event that the Borrower does not repay any Letter
-77- 

of Credit Disbursement on or before the second Business Day following such Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in Section 2.03(f)(i), the Borrower shall, unless any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, automatically be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of the same Class as the applicable Letter of Credit, as of the applicable Disbursement Date, in an amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligation applicable to such Letter of Credit Disbursement and, without limitation of the obligations of the Letter of Credit Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(e), such Reimbursement Obligation shall become a Loan of such Class hereunder as of the applicable Disbursement Date and shall be deemed to be a Borrowing of such Class hereunder on such day and bear interest in accordance with Section 2.11 from the applicable Disbursement Date. Each such Loan shall initially be made as an ABR Borrowing and the Borrower shall have the right to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type in accordance with Section 2.06. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph and Section 2.11 shall be for account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any applicable Letter of Credit Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.03 to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall be for account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. Each such Letter of Credit Loan shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.08(a)(iii) and amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of such Letter of Credit Loans may be reborrowed.
(i)Cash Collateralization. If (i) the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders of any Class of Letters of Credit demand the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph or (iii) any Event of Default described in Sections 7.01(f) or (g) shall occur, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into an account established with the Depositary Bank, which account shall be a Securities Account and for the benefit of the Lenders of the applicable Class, an amount in cash equal to 102.5% of the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Exposure of such Class as of such date (or any applicable amount required by Section 2.09) plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (f) or (g) of Section 7.01. Any deposit made pursuant to this Section 2.03(i)  shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure of the applicable Class under this Agreement and shall in the case of a Letter of Credit Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit of such Class be applied to the payment of the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loans arising as a result of such Letter of Credit Disbursement; provided that any failure or inability of the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent for any reason to apply such amounts shall not in any manner relieve any Lender of its obligations under Section 2.03(e) or Section 2.03(h). 
(j)In the event that more than one Letter of Credit is issued and outstanding in favor of the same beneficiary and for the same purpose, the following provisions shall apply to such Letters of Credit:
(A)    Unless the context requires otherwise, references herein to any such Letter of Credit shall refer to any and all such Letters of Credit then available to be drawn upon.
-78- 

(B)    Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to instruct each applicable beneficiary receiving more than one Letter of Credit to draw on each such Letter of Credit on a ratable basis; provided, that any reference herein or in any other Financing Document to any drawing on such Letters of Credit shall mean the proportion in which such Letters of Credit were actually drawn if not drawn ratably.
Section 2.04    Loans and Borrowings. 
(a)Obligations of Lenders. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class (and, upon payment by any Letter of Credit Lender of its obligation to acquire a participation under Section 2.03(e) in any Borrowing of a Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(h), such Letter of Credit Lender shall be deemed to be the direct holder of such Letter of Credit Loan without any further actions). The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it (or to make any payment under Section 2.03(e)) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans (or to make any payment under Section 2.03(e)) as required.
(b)Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.12 and Section 2.03(h), each Borrowing shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans or of Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make or hold such Loan at such Lender’s applicable lending office; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c)Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000, provided that any Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03(h) shall be in the amount of the related Letter of Credit Disbursement and the final Borrowing of the Construction Loans, subject to Section 5.11 and Section 5.12, may be in an amount up to the then-remaining applicable Construction Loan Commitment. Borrowings of more than one Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.
Section 2.05    Funding of Borrowings. 
(a)    Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, for deposit into (i) in the case of Construction Loans, the Construction Account, (ii) in the event Letter of Credit Loans are made to finance the reimbursement of Letter of Credit Disbursements pursuant to Section 2.03(h), by promptly remitting such amounts to the relevant Issuing Lenders, and (iii)
-79- 

in the event of any principal or interest being due and payable, to the relevant debt service payment accounts, in each case in accordance with the Depositary Agreement.
(b)    Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.05 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Type of Loan made. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
Section 2.06    Interest Elections. 
(a)Elections by the Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Loans constituting each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Construction Loan Borrowing Request (or, in the case of a Borrowing under Section 2.03(h), as an ABR Borrowing) and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Construction Loan Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.06. No Interest Period may extend beyond the Date Certain. Upon receipt of an Interest Election Request from the Borrower requesting an irregular Interest Period as specified in clause (e) of the proviso in the definition of Interest Period, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall endeavor to provide the Borrower with such Interest Period so long as such Interest Period is available in the London interbank market, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall set the applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate for such irregular Interest Period through interpolating available LIBO Rate for periods having terms ending immediately prior to and immediately following such Interest Period.
(b)Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.06(b), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by electronic communication by the time that a Construction Loan Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.01  (or in the case of a conversion or continuance of a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03(h), (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed conversion or continuance of such Borrowing, or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed conversion or continuance of such Borrowing) as the case may be, if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made
-80- 

on the effective date of such election. Each such electronic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or electronic communication to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of Exhibit N (to the extent such election was not originally in the form of Exhibit N). 
(c)    Content of Interest Election Requests. Each electronically communicated Interest Election Request shall specify the following information:
(i)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies;
(ii)the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)whether the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”
(d)    Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)    Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor (or if any Interest Election Request made by the Borrower requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period therefor), then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to a Eurodollar Borrowing with a one-month Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (A) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (B) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be irrevocable.
(d)Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.
Section 2.08    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
(a)    Repayment.

promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Construction Loan Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Construction Loans on the Construction Loan Maturity Date.

-83- 

Maturity Date. To the extent not previously paid, the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lenders and Letter of Credit Lenders all outstanding Letter of Credit Disbursements and Letter of Credit Loans on the Letter of Credit Maturity Date.
(b)    Manner of Payment. 
(i)Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by electronic transmission of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (1) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one Business Day before the scheduled date of such payment and (2) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such payment. If the Borrower fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the applicable Class and, second, to other Borrowings of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.
(ii)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. EST on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s lending office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. EST shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(c)    Evidence of Debt. 
(i)    Each Lender may maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. In the case of a Lender that does not request, pursuant to clause (ii) below, execution and delivery of a Note evidencing the Loans made by such Lender to the Borrower, such account or accounts shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive evidence of such Indebtedness of the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to maintain such account or accounts or any error in any such account shall not limit or otherwise affect any repayment obligations of the Borrower hereunder.
-84- 

(ii)    The Borrower shall, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note (a “Note”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B payable to such Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Loans evidencing the Loans made by such Lender. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Notes (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive evidence of the applicable Indebtedness of the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations or any error in any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any obligations of the Borrower. A Note and the obligation evidenced thereby may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in part only in accordance with Section 10.04(b). 
Section 2.09    Prepayment of Loans. 
(a)Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than any amounts payable under Section 2.14), subject to the requirements of this Section 2.09(a). Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing under this Section 2.09(a) shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as may be necessary to prepay the aggregate principal amount then outstanding with respect to such Borrowing). Prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.09(a) shall be applied pro rata to scheduled principal payments. Upon the Borrower’s prior written request, a prepayment of Borrowings of any Class may be applied to prepay outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class so long as such application does not affect the right any Lender would otherwise have to receive pro rata prepayments of the Loans or Class of Loans, as applicable, held by such Lender.
(b)Mandatory Prepayments. 
(i)    On the Monthly Date immediately following the receipt by the Borrower of the proceeds of any conveyance, sale, lease, transfer or other disposal of Project Assets (other than those permitted by clauses (a), (c), (d) or (e) of the second sentence of Section 6.08) (a “Specified Disposition”) exceeding $10,000,000, in the aggregate with all prior Specified Dispositions, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans then outstanding, in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Amount of such proceeds, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount required by Section 2.14 (if applicable); provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to prepay the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09(b)(i) to the extent that the Borrower applies the same to make Capital Expenditures or to otherwise reinvest the same in Project Assets which are necessary or useful for the business of the Project, in each case (A) pursuant to a transaction not prohibited hereunder, (B) the Net Available Amount so retained is so committed to be so applied or reinvested within 12 months of such Specified Disposition, (C) the Net Available Amount so retained is so applied or reinvested within 12 months of being
-85- 

committed in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (B) and (D) any uninvested or unreinvested portion of such Net Available Amount shall be promptly applied to prepayments as contemplated in this Section 2.09(b)(i). 
(ii)With respect to any Event of Damage or Event of Taking, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans then outstanding in accordance with and to the extent required by Section 5.17, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount required by Section 2.14 (if applicable).
(iii)On the Monthly Date immediately following the receipt by the Borrower (or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Borrower) of the proceeds of any Project Document Claim in excess of $2,000,000, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans then outstanding in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Amount of such Project Document Claim, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount required by Section 2.14 (if applicable).

(v)On the Conversion Date, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Letter of Credit Loans, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount required by Section 2.14 (if applicable).
(vi)On the date of the initial funding by the tax equity investors under a Permitted Tax Equity Transaction that is not a Construction Bridge Take Out, the Borrower shall prepay the Construction Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the TE Prepayment Amount, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount required by Section 2.14 (if applicable).
(vii)On the date of the initial borrowing of the Construction Bridge Loans, the Borrower shall prepay the Construction Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to any Bridge Prepayment Amount determined pursuant to Section 2.22(b), together with accrued interest thereon and any amount required by Section 2.14 (if applicable).
(viii)To the extent required by Section 5.20, the Borrower shall on each Build-Out Prepayment Date prepay the Construction Loans in an amount specified in Section 5.20 in respect of such Build-Out Prepayment Date, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount required by Section 2.14 (if applicable).
(ix)The Borrower shall prepay the Construction Loans in an amount as and when required by Section 5.25 in connection with the exercise of the Permitted
-86- 

Capacity Downsize Option, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount required by Section 2.14 (if applicable).
(x)    The Borrower shall prepay the Construction Loans in an amount as and when required by Section 5.26 in connection with the Borrower’s election to utilize “Fall-Back WTGs” (as defined in the TSA) or receipt of a Wind Turbine Type Certificate for the Primary WTGs that does not align with the assumptions for the Primary WTGs set forth in the Base Case Projections, together with accrued interest thereon and any amount required by Section 2.14 (if applicable).
Each such mandatory prepayment of the Loans (other than under Section 2.09(b)(iii)) shall be applied in inverse order of maturities. Each such prepayment of loans under Section 2.09(b)(iii) shall be applied pro rata to scheduled principal payments. Upon the Borrower’s prior written request, a prepayment of Borrowings of any Class may be applied to prepay outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class so long as such application does not affect the right any Lender would otherwise have to receive pro rata prepayments of the Loans or Class of Loans, as applicable, held by such Lender.
(c)    Notices, Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (i) by electronic transmission of any mandatory prepayment hereunder, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, with respect to Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, and with respect to Loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate, one Business Day before the date of prepayment, and (ii) in writing of any optional prepayment hereunder, not later than five Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11 and any amount required by Section 2.14 and shall be applied in the manner specified in Section 2.08(b). 
Section 2.10    Fees.
(a)    Commitment Fee. Subject to Section 2.11(g), the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender having Commitments a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to (i) 0.400% on the average daily unused amount of each such Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date such Commitment terminates (or if such Commitment is canceled or expired prior to such date, the date of such cancellation or expiration) and (ii) 0.400% on the average daily unused amount of each Letter of Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit Commitment terminates (or if such Letter of Credit Commitment is canceled or expired prior to such date, the date of such cancellation or expiration). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
-87- 

elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing Commitment Fees with respect to the Commitments of any Class, a Lender’s Commitment of such Class shall be deemed to be used to the extent of such Lender’s outstanding Loans and such Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements) of such Class. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date after the Closing Date and on the applicable Maturity Date.
(b)Letter of Credit Fees. Subject to Section 2.11(g), the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Letter of Credit Lender a fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit under Section 2.03(e) (a “Letter of Credit Fee”) which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin applicable to interest on Eurodollar Loans, on the average daily amount of such Letter of Credit Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Letter of Credit Lender’s Letter of Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Letter of Credit Lender ceases to have any participation in Letter of Credit Exposure. Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date after the Closing Date and on the applicable Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit Fees accruing after the date on which the applicable Letter of Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All Letter of Credit Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(c)Reserved.
(d)Lender and Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, and to the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Bank and each Joint Lead Arranger the fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Fee Letters or the Depositary Agreement, as applicable.
(e)Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Lender, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error.
Section 2.11    Interest.
(a)ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)Eurodollar Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest for the applicable Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
-88- 

(c)    Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% plus the rate that would otherwise be applicable to such amount pursuant to this Agreement or, if no other rate is so specified herein, the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.11. 
(d)    Payment of Interest. Subject to clause (g), accrued interest on each Loan of any Class shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that
(i)interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.11 shall be payable on demand,
(i)in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e)    Post-Petition Interest. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof, before and after judgment, regardless of whether any insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law exists in respect of the Borrower, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Lenders shall be entitled to receive post-petition interest during the pendency of such proceeding.
(f)    Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The computation of interest and fees shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(g)    Capitalized Fees and Interest. Provided that Borrower has satisfied the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02, as applicable, all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect to the then-outstanding Construction Loans and the accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, if any, shall be automatically capitalized in new Construction Loans, so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the making of such Construction Loans will not result in the aggregate Construction Loans exceeding the aggregate Construction Loan Commitments. On each Interest Payment Date and Quarterly Date prior to the Conversion Date, unless the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary from Borrower by 2:00 p.m. EST at least three Business Days prior to such date, a Construction Loan Borrowing Request shall be deemed to have been made by the Borrower to Lenders requesting a Borrowing of Construction Loans in order to capitalize the payment of such interest and fees and selecting an Interest Period of one month (or ending on the Construction Loan Maturity Date, if the selected one-month Interest Period would expire beyond such Construction Loan Maturity Date) and any such fees and interest amounts shall be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Construction Loans. The Borrower hereby consents to such deemed issuance of one or more Construction Loan Borrowing Request under
-89- 

this clause (g) and agrees that the amounts capitalized under this clause (g) shall constitute Construction Loans under this Agreement.
Section 2.12    Alternate Rate of Interest. 
(a)    If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing:
(i)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Borrowing; or
(ii)such Borrowing is of a particular Class of Loans and the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing of the affected Class as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (ii) if any Construction Loan Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing of the affected Class shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
(b)    In addition, if any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Applicable Law after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make Eurodollar Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all such Eurodollar Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.
-90- 

Section 2.13    Increased Costs. 
(a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Lender;
(ii)subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in any of clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, loan principal, Letters of Credit, Commitments, or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein,
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) to the Borrower or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs actually incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    Capital Requirements. If, after the Closing Date, any Lender or any Issuing Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually incurred or suffered.
(c)    Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13  shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
-91- 

shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests. Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Lender has
determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.14    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of
any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (other than in connection with any Eurodollar Borrowing that is not made pursuant to Section 2.05 due to circumstances set forth in Section 2.12) or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (but excluding any anticipated profits). In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurodollar Loan, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits in Dollars from other banks in the eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such certificate to the Borrower, and such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and except with regard to any voluntary prepayments hereunder or the events described in Section 2.13(a) and (b), each
-92- 

Lender shall, unless otherwise requested by Borrower, use reasonable efforts to minimize any such break funding payments by, among other things, not applying mandatory prepayments until the last day of an Interest Period so long as such Lender, in its sole discretion, does not determine that such efforts would be disadvantageous to such Lender.
Section 2.15    Taxes.
(a)Payments Free of Taxes. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Financing Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)Payment of Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay or cause to be paid any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(c)Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify or cause to be indemnified each Recipient within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15, but without duplication of any amounts paid or indemnified under Section 2.15(a)) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The amount of such payment or liability and the denomination thereof as set forth in a certificate (accompanied by supporting calculations) delivered to the Borrower by the applicable Recipient, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)Forms.
-93- 

(i)Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under any Financing Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.15(e)(ii)(A), 2.15(e)(ii)(B) and 2.15(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the reasonable judgment of the applicable Lender such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender;
(ii)Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing:
(A)each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)each Lender that is not a U.S. Person, shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)in the case of such a Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Financing Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Financing Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
-94- 

(3)in the case of such a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4)to the extent such Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)each Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Financing Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
-95- 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in such Recipient’s sole judgment, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15  with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the applicable Recipient agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over by such Recipient to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will any Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) to the extent such payment would place such Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.
(g)Tax Returns. This Section 2.15 shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential, it being understood that the forms and statements required to be provided under Section 2.15(e)  shall not be considered confidential for this purpose) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Financing Document.
Section 2.16    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set- 
offs. 
(a)    Payments by the Borrower. Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of Letter of Credit Disbursements, or under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) or under any other Financing Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer to the following account: payment instructions:
-96- 

Bank Name: The Bank of New York Mellon; ABA Number: 021000018; Account No. 2997578400; Reference: BSNY -Vineyard except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Financing Document and except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Lender as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 10.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto, in each case subject to the terms of the Depositary Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All amounts owing under this Agreement or under any other Financing Document are payable in Dollars.
(b)Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder or under the other Financing Documents, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder or under the other Financing Documents, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and other amounts then due to such parties and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements then due hereunder or under the other Financing Documents, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c)Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of a particular Class shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of a Commitment Fee under Section 2.10(a) in respect of Commitments of a particular Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.07 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of any Class shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
(d)Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in Letter of Credit
-97- 

Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(e)Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders or any Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or each applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(f)Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(e), 2.05(b), 2.16(e) or 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.17    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (x) would eliminate or reduce
-98- 

amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (y) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Replacement of Lenders. 
(i)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.17(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender and has failed to cure the circumstances as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payment pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.15) and obligations (including any participation under any Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.03) under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law, (x) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, to the extent such assignee is assuming any Letter of Credit Commitment, the Issuing Lenders of each applicable Class, which consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (y) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it or its Affiliates under the Financing Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (z) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in the elimination or a reduction in such compensation or payments and (aa) prior to the Conversion Date, the foregoing assignment and other procedures occur concurrently under each Term Credit Agreement. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 2.17 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.
(ii)If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 10.02 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Borrower shall have the right to replace such Non-Consenting Lender (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments (in accordance with
-99- 

and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and, to the extent such assignee is assuming any Letter of Credit Commitment, the Issuing Lenders of each applicable Class); provided that (x) any such Non-Consenting Lender must be replaced with a Lender that grants the applicable consent and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it or its Affiliates under the Financing Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 10.04. 
(iii) Any Lender that has been replaced as a Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.17(b), and that is a party to a Permitted FX Swap Agreement or Permitted Swap Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly novate, assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights and obligations under such Permitted FX Swap Agreement or Permitted Swap Agreement to which it is party to the assignee replacing it as a Lender hereunder pursuant to this Section 2.17(b) or to another Lender or Affiliate thereof, which, in each case, shall be a Permitted FX Swap Counterparty or a Permitted Swap Counterparty, as applicable; provided, however, that if such replaced Lender is unable to novate, assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights and obligations under any Permitted FX Swap Agreement or Permitted Swap Agreement to which it is a party pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to such Lender or Affiliate within thirty days after such Lender’s replacement, despite the exercise of commercially reasonably efforts to do so, then such replaced Lender may terminate such Permitted FX Swap Agreement or Permitted Swap Agreement in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall have no obligation with respect to such assignment if such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that such assignment would violate its internal credit policies and “know your customer” policies. Borrower shall bear all costs and expenses, and shall reimburse any Lender or its Affiliates for all costs and expenses incurred by such Lender or Affiliate, in connection with any assignment or novation of a Permitted FX Swap Agreement or Permitted Swap Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.17(b). 
Section 2.18    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)    Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a); provided that each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.19. With respect to any Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause (a), the Borrower shall (i) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any
-100- 

such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Exposure that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) below, (ii) to pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of any fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (iii) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(b)The Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, the Pro Rata Outstandings) of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver requiring Required Lender or Supermajority Lender approval pursuant to Section 10.02), but shall be included in determining whether the Lenders have taken, or may take, any action hereunder if more than Supermajority Lender approval is required.
(c)Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agents or Depositary Bank under the Financing Documents; (ii) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender; (iii) third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender, if any, in accordance with Section 2.19, (iv) fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; (v) fifth, if so determined by the Required Lenders or requested by an Issuing Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Letter of Credit; (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lenders as a result of any then final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or an applicable Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; (vii) seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any then final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction (provided that, with respect to this clause (viii), if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Defaulting Lender). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
-101- 

(d)All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders of the same Class as such Defaulting Lender in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s applicable Letter of Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(e)If the reallocation described in clause (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19. 
(f)If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Class (without giving effect to clause (d) of this Section), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(g)So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Section 2.19    Cash Collateral. 
(a)    Defaulting Lender. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.18(d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than 102.5% of the Letter of Credit Exposure of all Issuing Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.
-102- 

(b)Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first-priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect Letter of Credit Disbursements, to be applied pursuant to Section 2.19(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than 102.5% of the Letter of Credit Exposure of all Issuing Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(c)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.19 or Section 2.18 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Disbursements (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(d)Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.18, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
Section 2.20    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Financing Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Financing Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 
-103- 

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Financing Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 2.21    Benchmark Replacement Setting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document (and any Permitted Swap Agreement or Term Permitted Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Financing Document” for purposes of this Section 2.21): 
(a)Replacing USD LIBOR. On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of USD LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR tenor settings. On the earlier of (i) the date that all Available Tenors of USD LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (ii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is USD LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Financing Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Financing Document.
(b)Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Financing Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Financing Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component
-104- 

of Alternate Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.
(c)Term SOFR Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Financing Document in respect of any Benchmark setting without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Financing Document, provided, however, that, the Administrative Agent (i) has (in consultation with the Borrower) delivered a Term SOFR Notice to the Lenders and (ii) has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date the Term SOFR Notice is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(d)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right in consultation with the Borrower to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(e)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.21, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.21.
(f)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.
Section 2.22    Construction Bridge Loan Facilities. 
(a)    Borrower Request. Prior to the Conversion Date, the Borrower may by written notice to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more new construction bridge loan commitments (each, a “Construction Bridge Loan Commitment”). Each such notice shall: (i) specify the anticipated date on which the Borrower
-105- 

proposes that the Construction Bridge Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 45 days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent;
(ii)specify the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Construction Bridge Loan Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations,

The aggregate Construction Bridge Loan Commitments for any Lender shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $50,000,000 and whole multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent may elect or decline to arrange such Construction Bridge Loan Commitments in its sole discretion and each Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Construction Bridge Loan Commitment in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate Construction Loan Commitments among all Lenders electing to provide a Construction Bridge Loan Commitment; and, if any of the existing Lenders decline to provide any portion of such Construction Bridge Loan Commitment, or if any of the Lenders do not respond in writing within ten Business Days after being notified by Borrower of such request, the Borrower may offer such portion of the Construction Bridge Loan Commitment to any other Person that is an Eligible Assignee; provided further that if the Administrative Agent declines to arrange the Construction Bridge Loan Commitment in accordance with this Section 2.22(a), the Borrower may designate any arranger it may deem appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of the Increase Effective Date and in respect thereof the Construction Bridge Loan Commitments and applicable Lenders holding such Commitments.
(b)    Conditions. The Construction Bridge Loan Commitments shall become effective as of the first date that the following conditions precedent have been satisfied (the “Increase Effective Date”):

-106- 

2.22(b), the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.26 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to Section 5.09; provided, however, that a representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar phrase shall be true and correct in all respects;
(iv)the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered officer’s certificates and legal opinions with respect to the Increase Joinder of the type delivered on the Closing Date to the extent reasonably requested by, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Supermajority Lenders;

(vi)the Borrower shall have paid all fees and expenses owing in respect of any such increase to the Agents and the Lenders;
(vii)(A) if the Borrower’s then-aggregate Borrowings are less than the Title Policy Liability, the Borrower shall have delivered an ALTA 33 Endorsement issued by the Title Company showing no additional title exceptions or other matters except Permitted Encumbrances; or (B) if the Borrower’s then-aggregate Borrowings exceed the Title Policy Liability, the Borrower shall have delivered a Record Matters Endorsement and a date-down endorsement issued by the Title Company showing no additional title exceptions or other matters except Permitted Encumbrances;
(viii)if the Construction Bridge Take Out is a Permitted Tax Equity Transaction, the Borrower shall have delivered all material closing documentation (including as applicable, the membership interest purchase agreement, equity capital contribution agreement, limited liability company agreement, guaranties, each consent to collateral assignment in connection therewith, and other associated documents), all of which shall be consistent in all material respects with the term sheet set forth on Exhibit S, as confirmed by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Supermajority Lenders, and to the extent any terms set forth in any Tax Equity Document are not specified in Exhibit S, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Supermajority Lenders, evidencing that the Tax Equity Commitment has been obtained;
(ix)if the Construction Bridge Take Out is a Permitted Direct Payment Transaction, (A) the Borrower shall have delivered the Direct Payment Documents and other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Supermajority Lenders demonstrating that the

(xiv)the Borrower shall have terminated the Construction Loan Commitments as required pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(viii); 
(xv)the Borrower shall have delivered a revised sources and uses table satisfactory to the Supermajority Lenders and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Independent Engineer) demonstrating that there are sufficient committed funds available to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the Equity Contribution Agreement, together with reasonably anticipated pre-Conversion Date Project Revenues, to achieve the Conversion Date on or before the Date Certain; and
(xvi)no later than five Business Days before the Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (for delivery to each Lender) (A) a final update to the most recently updated Base Case Projections, reflecting only Prior Projection Updates, the final Construction Bridge Loan Commitments, the terms and conditions of the Tax Equity Documents or Direct Payment Documents, the expected date of Substantial Completion, the expected Conversion Date, changes to projected interest rates, the Bridge Commitment Reduction Amount, TE Oversizing Amount, TE Commitment Reduction Amount, the Bridge Oversizing Amount, the Bridge Prepayment Amount, the TE Prepayment Amount, and the TE Term Loan Prepayment Amount (as applicable) (and holding all other inputs and assumptions in the Base Case Projections constant), which Base Case Projections update shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (in consultation with the Independent Engineer) and (B) a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower stating that such projections and

(c)    Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to Construction Bridge Loan Commitments shall be as follows:

-113- 

untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make such information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was furnished.

Other than the Borrower obtaining MBR Authority and EWG status, no authorization, approval, certification, notice or filing is required by or with FERC or the MDPU for the execution and delivery of the Financing Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents or the performance of obligations under the Financing Documents, except as may be required by the exercise of remedies under the Financing Documents.

No Borrowing or Issuance or use of proceeds contemplated by this Agreement will cause a violation of AML Laws, Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Terrorism Laws or applicable Sanctions by any person participating in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether as lender, borrower, guarantor, agent or otherwise. The Borrower represents that neither it, Shareco, any other Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in or intends to engage in any dealings or transactions with, or for the benefit of, any Sanctioned Person or with or in any Sanctioned Country.
Section 3.18    Security Documents. The Security Documents that have been delivered on or prior to the date this representation is made are effective to create, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on and security interest in all of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby, and all necessary recordings and filings have been made (or arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to make any necessary recordings or filings on or immediately following the Closing Date have been made) in all necessary public offices, and all other necessary and appropriate action has been taken, so that the security interest created by each Security Document is a perfected Lien on and security interest in all right, title and interest of the Borrower and the Applicable Pledgor in the Collateral purported to be covered
-115- 

thereby and that can be perfected by filing, recording, possession or control (including delivery to the Collateral Agent of the certificates evidencing all of the Equity Interests in the Borrower and all of the Equity Interests held by the Borrower in Shareco), prior and superior to all other Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances (except Permitted Encumbrances specified in clause (p) of the definition thereof).

(b)There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened or contemplated claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan, except, to the extent that this representation and warranty is made after the Closing Date, such claims, actions or lawsuits that could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan, except, to the extent that this representation and warranty is made after the Closing Date, such transaction or violation could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in material liability to the Borrower.
(c)No ERISA Event has occurred, and the Borrower is not aware of any fact, event or circumstance that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan.
(d)The present value of all accrued benefits under each Pension Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Pension Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Pension Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Borrower. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan, the potential liability of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 or Section 4205 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Borrower.

The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Bank, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, Term Permitted Swap Counterparties, Permitted Swap Counterparties and the Permitted FX Swap Counterparties, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Financing Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to
-162- 

the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank is not intended to connote and shall not connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Each Agent, by executing this Agreement, hereby accepts such appointment. The Depositary Bank shall be an express third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Article VIII as set forth herein and shall be entitled to benefit from the rights designated to it herein and enforce the obligations of the Lenders or other Secured Parties owed to it hereunder.

The Collateral Agent, in such capacity (and any co-agents, subagents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on any Collateral granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII (and Section 10.03 to the same extent as “Agent” thereunder) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto (and such provisions shall, as the context may require, inure to the benefit thereof). Additionally, every covenant and obligation contained in the Financing Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by any of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or Pledgor be required by the Collateral Agent or any such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Person shall execute, acknowledge (or shall cause to be executed and acknowledged) and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

The Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, and any of their sub-agents may perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent are authorized on behalf of all the Lenders and Issuing Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, from time to time to permit any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by such person to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Financing Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon any Collateral granted pursuant to any Security Document. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII, as well as all other indemnity and expense reimbursement provisions of this Agreement (including Section 10.03), shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein. Neither the Administrative Agent nor

Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
(d)The Collateral Agent hereby appoints Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender as its agent (and Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lenders hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Collateral Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the UCC can be perfected by possession or control. Should Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Person shall notify Collateral Agent thereof and, promptly upon Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Collateral Agent or in accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions.
(e)Each Lender that is a Permitted Swap Counterparty or Term Permitted Swap Counterparty or which has an Affiliate that is a Permitted Swap Counterparty or Term Permitted Swap Counterparty for itself, and on behalf of any such Affiliate, in its capacity as a Permitted Swap Counterparty or Term Permitted Swap Counterparty, irrevocably appoints and authorizes Collateral Agent to act as its Collateral Agent under the Financing Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms of the Financing Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Section 8.02    Rights as a Lender. Each Person serving as an Agent or
Depositary Bank hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent or Depositary Bank, and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, include such Person serving as such Agent or Depositary Bank hereunder in its capacity as Lender. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party or any subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Secured Parties.
Section 8.03    Exculpatory Provisions. 
(a)    No Agent or the Depositary Bank shall have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be ministerial and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent or the Depositary Bank:
(i)shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)shall have any duty to take any action that requires judgment or to exercise any powers requiring judgment, except, with respect to the Administrative Agent those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Financing Documents or that any Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable, is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Financing Documents) or by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be; provided that no Agent or the Depositary Bank shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable, to liability or that is contrary to any Financing Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification, or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or Depositary Bank, as applicable, or in either case any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)    No Agent or the Depositary Bank shall be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 7.02 and Section 10.02(b)) or by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or
-165- 

willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.
(c)No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Secured Party. If any Agent obtains actual knowledge of a Default or Event of Default or receives such notice, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the Secured Parties. Upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until any Agent shall have received such direction, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it deems advisable in the best interest of the Secured Parties. In no event shall any Agent be required to comply with any such directions to the extent that such Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful.
(d)No Agent or the Depositary Bank shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
Section 8.04    Reliance by Agents. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), financial advisors, insurance consultants, environmental consultants, independent accountants and any other advisors, consultants or experts selected by it for any purpose deemed advisable to it relating to or in connection with this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and such Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable, shall not be liable for any action taken or not
-166- 

taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants, advisors, consultants or experts. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank at any time may solicit written confirmatory instructions from the Required Lenders (and, in addition, Collateral Agent may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions from the Administrative Agent) as to any action that it may be requested or required to take, or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Financing Documents.
Section 8.05    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Financing Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable. Each Agent, the Depositary Bank and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent, the Depositary Bank and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as such Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable. No Agent or the Depositary Bank shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of a competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 8.06    Resignation; Removal. 
(a)Each Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Secured Parties and the Borrower, no later than 30 days prior to the effective date of such resignation. Each Agent may be removed upon 30 days’ prior notice (the “Removal Effective Date”) by the Required Lenders for such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or upon any such removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender with an office in New York, New York, an Affiliate of a Lender or a financial institution with an office in New York, New York having a combined capital and surplus that is not less than $500,000,000, or otherwise petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date, or such removal shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date, as applicable.
(b)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent shall be discharged from its
-167- 

duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Secured Party directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Financing Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring (or retired) or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent was acting as such Agent.
Section 8.07    Lender Acknowledgments; Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Secured Party party hereto acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Depositary Bank, any Agent or any other Secured Party, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Depositary Bank, any Agent or any other Secured Party, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 8.08    Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Secured Party an amount equivalent to any U.S. federal withholding Tax. If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold U.S. federal withholding Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Secured Party because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Secured Party failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Secured Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all reasonable expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Secured Party by the Administrative Agent
-168- 

shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Person under this Agreement or any other Financing Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.08. 
Section 8.09    Authorization. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank is hereby authorized to execute, deliver and perform each of the Financing Documents to which such Agent is a party. The Secured Parties agree to be bound by the terms and limitations of the professional services agreement between the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Independent Engineer.
Section 8.10    Lead Arrangers; No Other Duties, Etc. The parties agree that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Green Loan Coordinator and the Joint Lead Arrangers identified on the cover page of this Agreement shall have any powers, duties, obligations, liability or responsibility under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent, a Lender, an Issuing Lender, Term Permitted Swap Counterparty, Permitted Swap Counterparty or Permitted FX Swap Counterparty. Without limiting any of the foregoing, no Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Green Loan Coordinator or Joint Lead Arranger, in its capacity as such, shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, Issuing Lender, Term Permitted Swap Counterparty, Permitted Swap Counterparty or Permitted FX Swap Counterparty. Each Lender, each Issuing Lender and Permitted FX Swap Counterparty acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, the Green Loan Coordinator or any Joint Lead Arranger in deciding to enter into this Agreement or any other Financing Document or in taking or not taking any action hereunder or thereunder.
Section 8.11    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Agents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
-169- 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each Agent to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the Agents, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent.
Section 8.12    Erroneous Payments. 
(a)If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated on its books and records by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party such Lender or Issuing Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party, or other such
-170- 

recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
(i)(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.12(b). 
(c)Each of the Collateral Agent and each Lender or Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to the Collateral Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Financing Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuing Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning
-171- 

Issuing Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party under the Financing Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”). 
(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)This Section 8.12 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent.
(h)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Financing Document.
Section 8.13 Permitted Judgment. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any Financing Document to any action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by an Agent, or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment,
-172- 

expression of satisfaction or other exercise of judgment, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by an Agent, such Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to solicit written confirmatory instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in any other Financing Document) prior to exercising any of the foregoing.
ARTICLE IX
GUARANTY  
Section 9.01 Guaranty.
(a)The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due of all amounts payable by and other obligations of the Avangrid Member or the CIP Partner now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Term Permitted Swap Agreements, including any premium, reimbursements, damages, expenses, fees, costs, charges, disbursements, indemnities, and other liabilities (including all fees, charges, expenses and disbursements of counsel to any Term Permitted Swap Counterparty) due and payable to any Term Permitted Swap Counterparty and including interest that would accrue on any of the foregoing during the pendency of any bankruptcy or related proceeding with respect to a Loan Party (including any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent (such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by a Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Avangrid Member or the CIP Partner to any Term Permitted Swap Counterparty under or in respect of the Term Permitted Swap Agreement but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Avangrid Member or the CIP Partner. The Guaranteed Obligations shall be Obligations secured by the Collateral. The Guaranteed Obligations shall be payable upon any Event of Default without the need for any demand. The proceeds of any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant hereto shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.05 of the Depositary Agreement.
(b)The Borrower and each Secured Party party hereto hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the obligations of the Borrower hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Secured Party party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that the obligations of the Borrower under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 9.02 Guaranty Absolute. The Borrower guarantees, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Term Permitted Swap Agreements and Section 3.05 of the Depositary Agreement, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
-173- 

affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Term Permitted Swap Counterparty with respect thereto. The obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Financing Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Borrower to enforce this Guaranty. The liability of the Borrower under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(a)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Financing Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Financing Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Avangrid Member or the CIP Partner or otherwise;
(c)any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d)any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(e)any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Avangrid Member or any of its Subsidiaries or the CIP Partner or any of its Subsidiaries;
(f)the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of the Borrower or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(g)any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of, or reliance on, any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any other guarantor or surety.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
Section 9.03 Waivers and Acknowledgments. 
-174- 

(a)The Borrower, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Avangrid Member or the CIP Partner or any other Person or any Collateral.
(b)The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.
(c)The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of the Borrower or other rights of the Borrower to proceed against any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of the Borrower under this Guaranty.
(d)The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose to the Borrower any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Avangrid Member or any of its Subsidiaries or the CIP Partner or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.
(e)The Borrower acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Financing Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 9.02 and this Section 9.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Section 9.04 Subrogation. The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Avangrid Member or the CIP Partner or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Borrower’s obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Avangrid Member or the CIP Partner or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Avangrid Member or the CIP Partner or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Obligations, the Obligations (under and as defined in each Term Credit Agreement) and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the Conversion Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured
-175- 

Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Borrower and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. This Section 9.04 shall expressly survive termination of this Agreement until all Obligations and the Obligations (under and as defined in each Term Credit Agreement) are fully and finally paid and discharged, expired or terminated.
Section 9.05 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and (ii) the Conversion Date, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns.

Section 9.06    Qualified ECP Guarantor. Borrower as Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each Borrower (under and as defined in each Term Credit Agreement) to honor all of its obligations in respect of CEA Swap Obligations (provided that such Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 9.06 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.06, or otherwise under any Financing Document, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of such Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 9.06 shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date. Such Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 9.06 constitute, and this Section 9.06 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each Borrower (under and as defined in each Term Credit Agreement) for all purposes of Section 1a (18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Section 9.07    Subordination.
(a)Borrower hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed by Borrower to any other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 9.07. 
(b)After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, Borrower shall not make any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations other than to the extent payment of such Subordinated Obligations is permitted with the proceeds of any Voluntary Equity Contribution or cash on deposit in an Account that would otherwise be payable as a Restricted Payment or cash on deposit in an Account (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement) that would otherwise be payable as a Restricted Payment (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement).
-176- 

(c)Borrower agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post-Petition Interest”)) before Borrower makes payment on account of any Subordinated Obligations.

The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Financing Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which any party thereto would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

(other than (x) any Permitted Swap Agreement, which may be waived, amended or modified by the Borrower and the applicable Permitted Swap Counterparty, (y) any Permitted FX Swap Agreement, which may be waived, amended or modified by the Borrower and the applicable Permitted FX Swap Counterparty or (z) any Term Permitted Swap Agreement, which may be waived, amended or modified by the Borrower and the applicable Term Permitted Swap Counterparty) nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall in any way (i) extend or increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Letter of Credit Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.08(a) or in respect of the Loans arising as a result of a Letter of Credit Disbursement, or of any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment under Section 2.07(a), without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.16(c) or 2.16(d) without the consent of each Lender affected thereby, (v) extend the Date Certain without the written consent of each Lender; (vi) amend, waive or modify (w) the Equity Contribution Agreement in any manner that materially reduces the obligation of the Equity Contributing Parties to make Equity Contributions thereunder, (x) any obligation to maintain credit support in respect of the Equity Contribution obligations under the Equity Contribution Agreement, (y) the definition of “Acceptable Member”, “Acceptable Member Credit Support”, “Construction Equity Account”, “Equity Contribution Amount”, “Equity Letter of Credit”, “Guarantor Downgrade Event”, “Maximum Available Equity Contribution Amount”, “Member Guarantor”, and “Member Guaranty” or (z) Sections 2.01(a), 2.01(c), 4.05 and the first sentence of Section 2.01(f)(i) of the Equity Contribution Agreement, in each case, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby; (vii) change the order of any priority of payment under Section 7.03 hereof, Section 3.03(a)(iii) of the Depositary Agreement or Section 3.05(a) of the Depositary Agreement or alter any provision of any Financing Document relating to the pro rata sharing of any payment, in each case, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby; (viii) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.02(b) or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders or DSR Letter of Credit Lenders (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement (CIP)), as applicable, required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender and DSR Letter of Credit Lender (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement (CIP)), (ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Financing Documents without the written consent of each Lender (except to the extent specifically provided therefor in the Financing Documents), (x) waive any condition specified in Section 4.01 without the written consent of each Lender, (xi) amend, waive or modify any provision subject to a consent or approval right of the Supermajority Lenders without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders or (xii) change the provisions of any Financing Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently
-180- 

from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class; and provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, the Depositary Bank or any Issuing Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent, the Depositary Bank or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Loan Parties and the Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) amend or supplement any Financing Document without the consent of any Lender or any Issuing Lender (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency which is not material, (2) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Lenders, (3) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by any of the Security Documents, including to secure any Permitted Indebtedness that may be secured by a Permitted Encumbrance on the Collateral, or any release of any Collateral that is otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement and the Security Documents, (4) to revise any schedule to reflect any change in notice information, (5) to revise the account numbers for each of the Accounts as may be necessary to reflect the replacement of the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank or as may be required by internal procedures of the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank or (6) to revise the name of the Collateral Agent on any UCC financing statement or other Security Document as may be necessary to reflect the replacement of the Collateral Agent. Any such amendment, modification, or supplement that is set forth in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be binding on the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders and where any Financing Document expressly provides that the Administrative Agent or any other Agent may waive, amend, or modify such Financing Document or any provision thereof, or consent to any act or action of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such other Agent may do so without the further consent of the Lenders and any such waiver, amendment, modification, or consent that is set forth in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent or such other Agent, as applicable, shall be binding on the Agents and the Lenders.
Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment, or modification authorized in accordance with this Section 10.02 regardless of whether its Note shall have been marked to make reference thereto, and any waiver, amendment, or modification authorized in accordance with this Section 10.02 shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note from such Lender, whether or not such note shall have been so marked. Any agreement or agreements that the Administrative Agent executes and delivers to waive, amend, or modify any Financing Document in accordance with this Section 10.02 shall be binding on the Lenders and each of the Agents without the further consent of the Lenders or the other Agents.
Section 10.03    Expenses; Indemnity; etc. 
(a)    Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any of the Agents (and any of their respective sub-agents) or the Issuing Lenders (including the reasonable fees, expenses, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Agents and of advisors, consultants, accountants and experts (including the Independent Engineer, the Environmental Consultant, the Transmission Consultant, the Wind Consultant and the Insurance Advisor) engaged by the Agents from time to time) in connection with the primary syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, the extension

Agent (and any of their respective sub-agents), each Joint Lead Arranger, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties, disbursements and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties and, to the extent required, one firm of regulatory and one firm of local counsel in each relevant regulatory field and jurisdiction, as appropriate, for all Indemnified Parties (and, in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Party affected by such conflict has informed the Borrower of such conflict, of another firm of counsel, regulatory counsel or local counsel, as applicable, for each such affected Indemnified Party), provided that to the extent an Agent is an Indemnified Party, such Agent shall have the right to have its own separate counsel) incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Borrower or any other Loan Party) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i)(A) any Environmental Claim relating to or arising in connection with the Development, the Project, the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (B) any actual, alleged or threatened presence or Release of Hazardous Substances relating to or arising in connection with the Development, the Project Assets or the Borrower; (C) any other liability or obligation under any Environmental Law or Governmental Approval related to or arising in connection with the Development, the Project Assets or the Borrower; (D) the syndication, execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents or Project Documents or any other document, agreement or instrument in any way relating to the Financing Documents or Project Documents or the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents
-182-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. The Borrower also agrees that (x) it waives any claim it may have against any Indemnified Party for breach of fiduciary duty arising under the Transaction Documents or alleged breach of fiduciary duty arising under the Transaction Documents and (y) no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or to any security holders or creditors thereof related to or arising out of the execution, delivery and performance of any Financing Document or Project Document or any other document in any way relating to the Financing Documents or Project Documents or the other transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents or Project Documents, except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (1) such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (2) other than by an Agent, such Indemnified Party’s material breach of its express obligations under the Financing Documents. All amounts due under this Section 10.03(b) shall be payable as the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses contemplated under this Section 10.03(b) are incurred.
(c)    Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason
fails to pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03 to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) (each such Person being called a “Lender Indemnified Party”) or any Related Party of any Lender Indemnified Party, and without limiting the Obligations of the Borrower, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Lender Indemnified Party or such Related Party, as the case may be, ratably in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought, or, if the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought after the date upon which the Commitments have been terminated and the Obligations have been paid in full, then ratably in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage immediately prior to such date) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Lender Indemnified Party in its capacity as such, or against such Related Party acting for such Lender
-183- 

Indemnified Party in connection with such capacity. All amounts due under this Section 10.03(c)  shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of  Section 2.04(a). Any such Lender Indemnified Party in its capacity as such or such Related Party acting for such Lender Indemnified Party in connection with its capacity as such shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take any action under any Financing Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse any Lender Indemnified Party in its capacity as such or any Related Party acting for such Lender Indemnified Party in connection with its capacity as such promptly upon demand for such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred by such Lender Indemnified Party or such Related Party in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Financing Documents, to the extent that such Lender Indemnified Party or such Related Party is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.
(d)    Settlements; Appearances in Actions. The Borrower agrees that, without each Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party under this Section 10.03 (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and does not include an admission of fault by such Indemnified Party. In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its legal counsel. In the case of any claim brought against an Indemnified Party for which the Borrower may be responsible under this Section 10.03, the Agents, Issuing Lenders and Lenders agree to execute such instruments and documents and cooperate as reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with the Borrower’s defense, settlement or compromise of such claim, action or proceeding.
Section 10.04    Successors and Assigns. 
(a)    Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no assignments shall be made to a Defaulting Lender, and (iii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby
-184- 

and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender or Issuing Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, Issuing Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that,
(i)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate (or Approved Fund) of a Lender, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of any Letter of Credit Commitment of any Class, each Issuing Lender with respect to such Class in addition to the Administrative Agent, must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(ii)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate (or Approved Fund) of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment(s), Issuing Commitment(s) or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment(s), Issuing Commitment(s) and Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent and (provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the Borrower otherwise consent (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(iii)in connection with such assignment, the assigning Lender shall assign to the assignee a pro rata amount of such assigning Lender’s “Term Commitment(s)” and “Term Loans” (as defined under the Term Credit Agreements) under the Term Credit Agreements to which such assigning Lender is a party;
(iv)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, the Borrower must give its prior written consent to the assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(v)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,000;
(vi)in the case of an assignment of any Issuing Commitment, the assignee meets the credit rating requirements in respect of such Issuing Commitment; and
-185- 

(vii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and documentation and other written information requested by the Administrative Agent under applicable “know your customer” and AML Laws, including the USA PATRIOT Act.
provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that (x) no assignment to the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower shall be permitted without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion) and (y) any assignment made in violation of this proviso shall be void ab initio. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15  and 10.03). To the extent any assignment or transfer increases the Borrower’s obligation to pay costs, Taxes or indemnities pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.15 or 10.03, the Borrower’s liability to pay such costs, Taxes or indemnities shall be limited to the amounts the Borrower would have been liable if such assignment or transfer had not occurred. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section 10.04. 
(c)Maintenance of Register by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Disbursements (and stated interest) owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register, including the Commitments, Loans and Letter of Credit Disbursements of each Issuing Lender and Lender will be provided to the Borrower, any Issuing Lender or any Lender from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.
(d)Effectiveness of Assignments. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein
-186- 

in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(e)Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and (iv) prior to the Conversion Date, in connection with such assignment, the participating Lender shall participate to the Participant a pro rata amount of such participating Lender’s “Term Commitment(s)” and “Term Loans” (as defined under the Term Credit Agreements) under the Term Credit Agreements to which such participating Lender is a party. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document; provided further that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section 10.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14  and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04. Each Lender that grants a participation acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and interest amount of each Participant’s interest in the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other Obligations under any Financing Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(f)Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquires the participation. A Participant who is not a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for

the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). In addition, if at the time of the sale of such participation, any greater Taxes subject to payment under Section 2.15 would apply to the Participant than applied to the applicable Lender, such Participant shall not be entitled to any payment under Section 2.15 with respect to the portion of such Taxes as exceeds the Taxes applicable to the Lender at the time of the sale of the participation.
(g)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Financing Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank (whether in the United States or any other jurisdiction), and this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h)No Assignments to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Parent, any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any of them, (B) any natural Person or (C) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (C). 
(i)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Outstandings of Borrowings previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Borrowings and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Section 10.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and Issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
-188- 

payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 8.12, 9.04, 10.03 and 10.15 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments, the resignation or removal of any Agent or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 10.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 
(a)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. The Financing Documents constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic delivery shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(b)The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 10.07    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.08    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and any other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the
-189- 

obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Financing Document to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Financing Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender, and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 10.09    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 
(a)Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Financing Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document (except, as to any other Financing Document, as expressly set forth herein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
(b)Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Financing Document shall affect any right that any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)Waiver of Venue. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.09.

-190- 

the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d)Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.
(e)Rights of the Secured Parties. Nothing in this Section 10.09 shall limit the right of the Secured Parties to refer any claim against the Borrower to any court of competent jurisdiction outside of the State of New York, nor shall the taking of proceedings by any Secured Party before the courts in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction whether concurrently or not.
(f)WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

-191- 

any remedies hereunder or under any other Financing Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same (or at least as restrictive) as those of this Section 10.11, to (i) any sub-agent insurance broker, provider of credit protection, assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties and the advisor of such counterparty or any such Related Party) to any swap, derivative, securitization transaction or any other transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement or under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; or (h) to the extent such Information
(i)becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11 or

In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. For the purposes of this Section 10.11, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Loan Parties or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower.
Section 10.12    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Other than as set forth herein, the agreement of the Lenders to make the Loans to the Borrower, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, is solely for the benefit of the Borrower and the Secured Parties, and no other Person (including any contractor, subcontractor, supplier, workman, carrier, warehouseman or materialman furnishing labor, supplies, goods or services to or for the benefit of the Project) shall have any rights under this Agreement or under any other Financing Document or Project Document or with respect to any extension of credit contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 10.13    Reinstatement. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Borrower agrees that it will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by such Secured Party in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.
Section 10.14    Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and
-192- 

address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
Section 10.15    Scope of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Financing Document or any other document, certificate or instrument executed by any Loan Party thereto, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agents, Secured Parties and their Related Parties shall have any claims with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents against Construction Pledgor, TE Partnership, Sponsor Partner, Class B Member, the Equity Contributing Parties, the Parents, any present or future holder (whether direct or indirect) of any Equity Interests in Construction Pledgor, TE Partnership, the Sponsor Partner, Class B Member, the Equity Contributing Parties or the Parents or, in any case, any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Borrower) (except, in each case, to the extent set forth in the Financing Documents to which Construction Pledgor, TE Partnership, the Sponsor Partner, Class B Member, the Equity Contributing Parties, the Parents or any other such holder of Equity Interests is a party), shareholders, members, officers, directors, employees, representatives, controlling persons, executives or agents (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Persons”), such claims against such Non-Recourse Persons (including as may arise by operation of law) being expressly waived hereby; provided that this Section 10.15 shall not (i) constitute a waiver, release or discharge (or otherwise impair the enforceability) of any of the Obligations, or of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or provisions of any Financing Document, (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any Lien or security interest purported to be created pursuant to the Security Documents (or otherwise impair the ability of any Secured Party to realize or foreclose upon any Collateral), (iii) limit or restrict the right of any Secured Party (or any assignee or beneficiary thereof or successor thereto) to name any Loan Party or any other Person as a defendant in any action or suit for a judicial foreclosure or for the exercise of any other remedy under or with respect to any Financing Document, or for injunction or specific performance, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment shall be enforced against any Non-Recourse Person, except as set forth in this Section 10.15, (iv) in any way limit or restrict any right or remedy of any Secured Party (or any assignee or beneficiary thereof or successor thereto) with respect to, and each of the Non-Recourse Persons shall remain fully liable to the extent that it would otherwise be liable for its own actions with respect to, any fraud, willful misrepresentation, or misappropriation of revenues, profits or proceeds from or of any Collateral that should or would have been paid as provided herein or paid or delivered to a Secured Party (or any assignee or beneficiary thereof or successor thereto) towards any payment required under any Financing Document, (v) affect or diminish in any way or constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any obligation, covenant, or agreement made by any of the Non-Recourse Persons (or any security granted by the Non-Recourse Persons in support of the obligations of any Person) under or in connection with the Equity Contribution Agreement, any Member Guaranty or any other Financing Document (or as security for the Obligations) or limit or restrict the right of any Agent or Secured Party to enforce such obligations against such Non-Recourse Person or (vi) limit the liability of (x) any Person who is party to any Project Document or has issued any certificate or other statement in connection therewith with respect to such liability as may arise by reason of the terms and conditions of such Project Document (but subject to any limitation of liability in such Project Document), certificate or statement, (y) any Person party to the Equity
-193- 

Contribution Agreement or Member Guaranty or (z) any Person rendering a legal opinion pursuant to this Agreement, in each case under this clause (vi) relating solely to the liability of such Person as may arise under such referenced agreement, instrument or opinion. The limitations on recourse set forth in this Section 10.15 shall survive the Termination Date.

NO CLAIM SHALL BE MADE BY ANY PARTY HERETO, OR ANY OF SUCH PARTY’S AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS AND WHETHER OR NOT THE CLAIM THEREFOR IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, DUTY IMPOSED BY LAW OR OTHERWISE), IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE UPON ANY SUCH CLAIM FOR ANY SUCH SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SENTENCE SHALL LIMIT THE BORROWER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS TO THE EXTENT SUCH SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARE INCLUDED IN ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM IN CONNECTION WITH WHICH AN AGENT, LENDER OR ISSUING LENDER IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION HEREUNDER.
Section 10.17    Titles. At all times from and after the Closing Date, the
Borrower shall not appoint any agents, co-agents or arrangers other than the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Documentation Agents and the Syndication Agents, as such parties are described in this Agreement on the Closing Date. The Borrower agrees that it shall not award any titles in connection with the credit facilities provided for herein (other than those expressly contemplated by the Financing Documents) without the consent of the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 10.18 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. 
(a)    To the extent that the Financing Documents provide support, through a
guarantee or otherwise, for Permitted Swap Agreements, Term Permitted Swap Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Financing Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated
-194- 

governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(b)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a
“Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Financing Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Financing Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Appendix A 
Insurance Requirements
All capitalized terms used in this Appendix A but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in this Agreement.
1.1    General Requirements. The Borrower shall, without cost to the Administrative
Agent, maintain or cause to be maintained on its behalf in effect at all times on and after the Closing Date (except as noted herein) the types of insurance required by the following provisions together with any other types of insurance required hereunder or pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Borrower and the Project, in such form and on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, with insurance companies rated: (i) “A-” or better, with a minimum size rating of “X” by A.M. Best’s Insurance Guide and Key Ratings”; (ii) “A” or better by Standard & Poor’s (or “A-” or better during construction and the first year of operations); (iii) an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized insurance rating agency of similar standing; or (iv) other insurance companies acceptable to the Administrative Agent. For purposes of this Appendix A, any references to terms and conditions being: (i) approved by; (ii) acceptable to; (iii) required by; (iv) agreed by; or (iv) waived by the Administrative Agent, such references shall be interpreted to mean “in consultation with the Insurance Advisor”.
1.1.1 Construction All-Risk Property Insurance. From the Closing Date until the earlier of Final Completion or the transition to operational all-risk property insurance required to be maintained in Section 1.1.3 below (with no gap in coverage), construction “all-risk” property insurance (as such term is used in the insurance industry), in an amount that is not less than the greater of (i) 100% of an estimated maximum loss (“EML”) analysis (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or (ii) such other acceptable loss limit approved by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of  Section 1.3 of this Appendix A) including coverage for all forms of onshore and offshore property and equipment making up the Project as well as all forms of onshore and offshore construction and erection work (including testing and commissioning) required to complete the Project, mechanical and electrical breakdown plus “WELCAR Defective Parts Design Clause” for defects for equipment supplied under the TSA and “WELCAR Defective Part Exclusion Buy-Back” defects coverage for all other Project equipment up to an aggregate limit of $30,000,000 and “WELCAR Defective Parts Design Clause” defects coverage thereafter including for inter array and export cabling (each such clause including defects in design, plan, specification, workmanship and materials), the perils of flood, earthquake, windstorm (named or unnamed), hail, lightning, strike, riot and civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief, terrorism and sabotage, subject to terms that are consistent with current industry practice insuring all real and personal property of the Borrower whether at a fixed location (including any non-owned location for off-site repair or refurbishment), off-site storage or a warehouse location, subject to available sublimits as set forth immediately below, or such other amount as agreed by the Administrative Agent and that are sufficient to comply with the requirements of all Material Project Documents. All responsibility for verification of compliance with the Material Project Documents shall rest solely with the Borrower. If applicable, coverage is required for property

in transit. Such insurance can be covered under the construction all-risk policy or under a separate policy. Sublimits are permitted with respect to the following perils:
1.1.1.1 off-site property, in an amount sufficient to cover the full replacement cost value of any property in storage;
1.1.1.2 inland transit in an amount sufficient to cover the full replacement cost value of any shipment (to the extent inland transit for physical damage is provided by a third party, the Borrower shall be subject to similar terms and conditions outlined in Section 1.1.5);
1.1.1.3 earth movement and/or earthquake (as the case may be) with a per occurrence and policy term aggregate limit equal to not less than the agreed loss limit, or such other amount agreed to by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions outlined in this Section 1.1; 
1.1.1.4 flood with a per occurrence and policy term limit equal to not less than the agreed loss limit, or such other amount agreed to by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions outlined in this Section 1.1; 
1.1.1.5 named windstorm (including storm surge) with a per occurrence and policy term limit equal to not less than $100,000,000, or such other amount agreed to by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions outlined in this Section 1.1; 
1.1.1.6 terrorism with a per occurrence and policy term limit equal to not less than the agreed loss limit, or such other amount agreed to by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions outlined in this Section 1.1; and
1.1.1.7 such other coverages customarily sub-limited and/or aggregated or restricted in reasonable amounts consistent with current industry practice with respect to similar risks and which are acceptable to the Administrative Agent, including but not limited to, removal of debris or wreckage, sue and labour, stand-by charges, off-shore cancellation costs, tests, leases and/or damage search costs, forwarding charges, evacuation expenses, extra expense, expediting expense and ordinance or law coverage including the increased cost of construction to comply with the enforcement of any law that regulates the construction or repair of damaged property including the cost to demolish undamaged portions of the Project, pollutant cleanup, professional fees, etc.
Such policy shall include: (a) an automatic reinstatement of limits following each loss, subject to permitted aggregates (if any); (b) a replacement cost valuation with no deduction for depreciation and no coinsurance clauses (or a waiver thereof); (c) coverage for physical damage
2

that is not covered by warranty or guaranty to the extent normally insured and (d) fire, explosion and mechanical breakdown as the result of cyber risks, to the extent commercially available.
All such policies may have per occurrence deductibles and/or self-insured retentions of not greater than $1,000,000 for onshore works, except $2,000,000 for terrorism, $2,500,000 for damage during loading/unloading, $5,000,000 for damage to offshore works and inter array cable, $7,500,000 for damage to subsea export cable and named windstorm (including storm surge), or such other deductibles approved and agreed to by the Administrative Agent.
1.1.2 Delay in Start-up.

In the event that the third party supplier does not provide additional insured status for the Borrower as a loss payee, the Borrower shall procure difference in conditions (DIC) / difference in limits (DIL) coverage to protect the interests of the Borrower. In addition, when third party ocean cargo insurance is provided for physical damage, the Borrower shall be required to procure under the same policy or a separate policy, marine delay in startup and/or marine business interruption insurance that is in compliance with this Section 1.1.5, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent. Regardless of which method is used to provide marine delay in startup and/or marine business interruption insurance, the Borrower and the Collateral Agent (as applicable) shall be the only insureds and the only loss payees on such marine delay in startup and/or marine business interruption insurance.

In the event the full insurance coverage required by this Appendix A is not taken out or maintained as described herein, the Administrative Agent, upon [thirty (30)] Business Days’ prior notice (unless the aforementioned insurance would lapse within such period or has already lapsed, in which event notice shall not be required) to the Borrower of any such failure, may (but shall not be obligated to), take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same. All amounts so advanced by any Lender shall become an Obligation of the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) pay such amounts, together with interest from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.11(c) this Agreement.
(m)Failure to Collect. In the event that the Borrower fails to respond in a timely and appropriate manner (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) or to take any steps necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to collect from any insurers for any loss covered by any insurance required to be maintained by this Appendix A, upon thirty (30) Business Days’ prior notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make all proofs of loss, negotiate all claims and/or receive all or any part of the proceeds of the foregoing insurance policies, either in its own name or the name of the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request and at the Borrower’s own cost and expense, make all proofs of loss and take all other steps necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to collect from insurers for any loss covered by any insurance required to be obtained by this Appendix A. 
1.6    Other Insurance Requirements. The Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained such insurance in addition to or in lieu of that required by the foregoing provisions of this Appendix A as the Administrative Agent may from time to time require, due to (a) new information coming to the attention of the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date or (b) changed circumstances after the Closing Date, which, in the case of either of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), is reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to render the insurance coverage set forth in this Appendix A materially inadequate. In addition to the other requirements of this Appendix A, the Borrower shall obtain and maintain such other or additional insurance (as to risks covered, policy amounts, policy provisions or otherwise) as the
13

Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time; provided that such other insurance and amounts are then commonly insured against with respect to similar properties in similar regions with similar exposures and which are available on commercially reasonable terms. Borrower shall only be required to obtain and maintain any additional or different insurance pursuant to and as described in this Section 1.6 if the purchase and maintenance of such insurance is consistent with Prudent Industry Practices.
1.7    Certification of Compliance. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on or before the Closing Date and no later than annually thereafter, certificates of insurance (or such other evidence of insurance reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in the form of binders and/or policies) executed by the insurer or its duly authorized representative indicating the types, amounts, deductibles and/or self-insured retentions, and terms and conditions required herein, accompanied by a letter from the Borrower certifying to the Administrative Agent that the insurance policy (or policies) have been placed in accordance with the requirements of this Appendix A, coverage is in full force and effect and all premiums then due have been paid or are not in arrears. Detailed summaries of any policies required pursuant to this Appendix A shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent upon request (to the extent available at that time). The summaries shall include the name of the insurance company, policy number, type of insurance, major limits of liability and expiration date of the insurance policies.
1.8    No Duty to Verify Insurance Compliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled, upon reasonable advance notice, to review at the Borrower’s location the Borrower’s books and records regarding all insurance policies (excluding the policies themselves) maintained with respect to the Project and the Borrower’s obligations under this Appendix A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Appendix A or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall impose on the Administrative Agent any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance coverage maintained by the Borrower nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other party to any insurance company or underwriter.
1.9    Waivers of Insurance Requirements. 
(a)    If at any time the Borrower determines in its reasonable judgment (after consultation with the Insurance Advisor) that any insurance (including the limits or deductibles thereof) required to be maintained by this Appendix A is not available on commercially reasonable terms (as defined herein) due to prevailing conditions in the commercial insurance market at such time, then upon the written request of the Borrower together with a written report of the Borrower’s insurance broker or another independent insurance broker of nationally-recognized standing in the insurance industry (i) certifying that such insurance is not available on commercially reasonable terms (and, in any case where the required maximum coverage is not reasonably available, certifying as to the maximum amount which is so available), (ii) explaining in detail the basis for such broker’s conclusions, and (iii) containing such other information as the Administrative Agent or the Insurance Advisor may reasonably request, the Administrative Agent may (after consultation with the Insurance Advisor) temporarily waive such requirement. At any time after the granting of any temporary waiver pursuant to this
14

Section 1.9, but not more than once in any year, the Administrative Agent may request, and the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after such request, an updated insurance report reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower’s independent insurance broker which supports what is achievable in the commercial insurance market. Any waiver granted pursuant to this Appendix A shall expire, without further action by any party, immediately upon (A) such waived insurance requirement becoming available on commercially reasonable terms, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, or (B) failure of the Borrower to deliver an updated insurance report pursuant to clause (ii) above.
If the Borrower is unable to procure insurance at or above the minimum insurance requirements in this schedule, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with information detailing the Borrower’s insurance marketing efforts. The information supplied to the Administrative Agent shall include (i) the insurance markets approached for quotes; (ii) a summary of quoted terms obtained in the insurance market; (iii) all options to increase sublimits to the minimum specified amounts (to the extent fully compliant terms are not initially quoted); (iv) all options to decrease deductibles to the maximums permitted amounts (to the extent fully compliant terms are not initially quoted); (v) all options to remove exclusions or broaden coverage terms to meet the minimum requirements; (v) all declinations including each underwriters’ reasons for such declinations. If the Borrower is unable to procure insurance at or above the minimum insurance requirements in this schedule, the Borrower shall provide any additional information to the Administrative Agent, to the extent available, such that the Administrative Agent may make or cause to make due inquiry. Commercial unavailability must be established in the context of not only the cost of insurance but also the increased risk that would be retained by the Administrative Agent in light of terms offered (or not) including insurance terms that are requested by or on behalf of the Borrower and considered by underwriters as unavailable at any cost (i.e. no option offered regardless of premium). The Borrower agrees to make a good faith effort to work with the Administrative Agent to provide coverage at mutually agreed upon terms and conditions if either (a) the requirements are not able to be met due to the conditions of the insurance market or (b) the Administrative Agent provides information that supports a commercially reasonable position that the Borrower may be subject to increased risks that would warrant increased or additional insurance coverage to be procured by the Borrower.
1.10    Additional Requirements. The Borrower shall at all times maintain or cause to be maintained the insurance coverage required to be obtained by the Borrower under the terms of each of the Material Project Documents to which the Borrower is a party.
1.11    Independent Review of the Borrower’s Insurance. The Borrower’s insurance program for the Project shall be independently reviewed every [three (3)] years throughout the term of this Agreement for compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and as outlined in this Appendix A.

(ii)    No such cancellation, suspension or termination of the Assigned Agreement by the Project Party shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent without the notice and extended cure period specified in this Section 3(b).

FORM OF BLOCKED ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT (JPM)
Blocked Account Control Agreement
(“Shifting Control”) l JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
BLOCKED ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) dated as of    by and among Vineyard Wind 1 LLC (“Company”), MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as collateral agent (in such capacity, together with its permitted successors and assigns, “Secured Party”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Bank” and together with Company and Secured Party, “Parties” and each of the Parties in its individual capacity, “Party”).
The Parties refer to the following account(s) in the name of Company maintained at Bank (individually and collectively, the “Account”) and hereby agree as follows:
			
	Account Number(s):

1.    (a) Company and Secured Party notify Bank that pursuant to a security and pledge agreement (as the same may be amended,
modified, supplemented, or restated from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), by and among Company, Secured Party and the other persons party thereto from time to time, Company has granted Secured Party, on behalf and for the benefit of the secured parties identified therein, a security interest in the Account and all funds on deposit from time to time therein. Bank acknowledges being so notified.
(b) Bank hereby confirms that the Account is a demand deposit account maintained by Company with Bank in Bank's ordinary course of business and that Bank is a national banking association. Each party confirms that it intends that this Agreement constitute an “authenticated record” as defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York from time to time (“UCC”). As of the effective date of this Agreement, Bank confirms that except for this Agreement and the applicable Account Documentation, (i) Bank is not currently party to any agreement with any person or entity pursuant to which Bank is obligated to comply with instructions as to the disposition of funds from the Account and (ii) for the duration of the Agreement Bank shall not, without the prior written consent of Secured Party, enter into any agreement with any other person or entity pursuant to which Bank is obligated to comply with instructions as to the disposition of funds from the Account.
2.    (a) It is the intent of the Parties that Secured Party has “control” over the Account within the meaning of such term under Section
9-104 of the UCC. Bank agrees that it shall follow the Instructions (as defined below) of Secured Party concerning the Account without further consent of Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party hereby instructs Bank that, prior to the Effective Time (as defined below), Bank shall honor all withdrawal, payment, transfer or other fund disposition or other instructions (collectively, “Instructions”) which Company is entitled to give under the Account Documentation (as defined below) received from Company (but not those from Secured Party) concerning the Account. On and after the Effective Time (and without Company’s consent), Bank shall honor all written Instructions received from Secured Party (but not those from Company) concerning the Account and Company shall have no right or ability to access or withdraw or transfer funds from the Account.
(b)The “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the second Business Day following the Business Day on which a notice purporting to be signed by Secured Party in substantially the same form as Exhibit A, with a copy of this Agreement attached to such notice (a “Shifting Control Notice”), is actually received by the unit of Bank to whom the notice is required to be addressed; provided, however, that if any such notice is so received after 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on any Business Day, the Effective Time shall be the opening of business on the third Business Day following the Business Day on which such receipt occurs. A “Business Day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which Bank is or is authorized or required by law to be closed.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) all transactions involving or resulting in a transaction involving the Account duly commenced by Bank or any affiliate prior to the Effective Time and so consummated or processed thereafter shall be deemed not to constitute a violation of this Agreement; and (ii) Bank and/or any affiliate may (at its discretion and without any obligation to do so) (x) cease honoring Company’s Instructions and/or commence honoring solely Secured Party’s Instructions concerning the Account at any time or from time to time after it becomes aware that Secured Party has sent to it a Shifting Control Notice but prior to the Effective Time (including without limitation halting, reversing or redirecting any transaction referred to in clause (i) above), or (y) deem a Shifting Control Notice to be received by it, for purposes of the foregoing paragraph, prior to the specified unit’s actual receipt if otherwise actually received by Bank (or if such Shifting Control Notice does not substantially comply with the form attached as Exhibit A or does not attach an appropriate copy of this Agreement), with no liability whatsoever to Company for doing so.
3.    This Agreement supplements, rather than replaces, Bank’s deposit account agreement, terms and conditions and other standard
documentation in effect from time to time with respect to the Account or services provided in connection with the Account (the “Account Documentation”), which Account Documentation will continue to apply to the Account and such services, and the respective rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of the parties to such Account Documentation and this Agreement, to the extent not expressly conflicting with the provisions of this Agreement (however, in the event of any such conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall control). Prior to issuing any Instructions on or after the Effective Time, Secured Party shall provide Bank with such documentation as Bank may reasonably request to establish the identity and authority of the individuals issuing Instructions on behalf of Secured Party. Secured Party may request Bank to provide other services (such as
Exhibit R-1-2    (VINEYARD WIND)

automatic daily transfers) with respect to the Account on or after the Effective Time; however, if such services are not authorized or otherwise covered under the Account Documentation, Bank’s decision to provide any such services shall be made in its sole discretion (including without limitation being subject to Company and/or Secured Party executing such Account Documentation or other documentation as Bank may require).
4.    If Bank has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Account, Bank agrees
that such security interest shall be subordinate to the Secured Party’s for so long as this Agreement is in effect, provided that this subordination will not apply to any security interest that Bank has in an item or its proceeds as a collecting bank and Bank agrees not to exercise or claim any right of offset, banker’s lien or other like right against the Account for so long as this Agreement is in effect except with respect to (i) returned or charged-back items, reversals or cancellations of payment orders and other electronic fund transfers or other corrections or adjustments to the Account or transactions therein, (ii) overdrafts in the Account or (iii) Bank’s customary charges, fees and documented expenses with respect to the Account or the services provided hereunder.
5.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) Bank shall have only the duties and responsibilities with respect

and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of outside counsel) (collectively, “Covered Items”) incurred (i) in connection with this Agreement or the Account (except to the extent due to Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence) or any related interpleader proceeding, or (ii) as a result of following Company's direction or Instructions.
(b) To the extent Bank is not indemnified by Company pursuant to the preceding sentence and to the extent such obligations are not satisfied within five (5) Business Days after written demand on Company by Bank, Secured Party agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Bank against any Covered Items incurred (i) on or after the Effective Time in connection with this Agreement or the Account or any related interpleader proceeding, (ii) as a result of following Secured Party’s direction or Instructions (including without limitation Bank’s honoring of a Shifting Control Notice) or (iii) due to any claim by Secured Party of an interest in the Account or the funds on deposit therein; in each case except to the extent due to Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence; provided, that Secured Party’s liability under this clause (b) for Covered Items relating to items described in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 4 above shall be limited to the aggregate amount of proceeds received by and/or disbursed from the Account on Secured Party’s instructions pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
7.    (a) Bank may terminate this Agreement (i) in its discretion upon the sending of at least thirty (30) calendar days advance written
notice to Company and Secured Party or (ii) because of a material breach by Company or Secured Party of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Account Documentation, upon the sending of at least five (5) Business Days advance written notice to Company and Secured Party.
(b)Secured Party may terminate this Agreement in its discretion upon the sending of at least three (3) Business Days advance written notice (“Termination Delivery Requirement”) in substantially the same form as Exhibit B, with a copy of the Agreement attached thereto (a “Secured Party Termination Notice”) to Bank and Company, provided that Bank may shorten or waive the Termination Delivery Requirement and any such shortening or waiver shall be binding on the Parties.
(c)Any other termination, any amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be effected solely by an instrument in writing executed by all the Parties. The provisions of Sections 5 and 6 above shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
8. Company shall compensate Bank for the opening and administration of the Account and services provided hereunder in accordance with Bank’s customary fee schedules from time to time in effect.

9.    (a) No Party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written
consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that no consent will be required if the assignment or transfer takes place as part of a merger, acquisition or corporate reorganization affecting Bank. A failure to comply with the assignment requirements referenced under this section shall result in such assignment being null and void.

Exhibit R-1-3    (VINEYARD WIND)

rights and obligations under the financing arrangement with Company or (ii) to a successor representative, if Secured Party is acting as a representative in whose favor a security interest is provided for or created; provided as between Bank and Secured Party, Secured Party will not be released from its obligations under this Agreement unless and until an Assignment Notice is actually received by the unit of Bank to whom notice is required to be addressed. An “Assignment Notice” is a notice purporting to be signed by Secured Party and assignee in which assignee agrees to assume all of Secured Party’s obligations under this Agreement substantially in the same form as Exhibit C, with a copy of this Agreement to be attached to the notice.

Bank may disclose to Secured Party such other information concerning the Account as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request.
11.This Agreement: (i) may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures were upon the same instrument; (ii) shall become effective when counterparts have been signed and delivered by the Parties, and (iii) may be executed using Electronic Signatures, which the Parties agree are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures. "Electronic Signature" means any electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed and adopted by a party with the intent to sign such record, including facsimile or email electronic signatures. Each Party represents and warrants on a continuous basis that (i) any Electronic Signature on this Agreement constitutes valid execution of this Agreement by a duly authorized signer in accordance with applicable law and, as applicable, its constitutional documents and (ii) this Agreement constitutes its valid, legal, enforceable and binding obligation. Each Party confirms that the others have relied on the foregoing representations and warranties when accepting an Electronic Signature on this Agreement. Each Party confirms that this Agreement constitutes an electronic record established and maintained in the ordinary course of business and an original written record when printed from electronic files.

All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent (including via emailed pdf or similar file or facsimile transmission) to the Parties at their respective addresses, email addresses or fax numbers set forth below (or to such other address, email address or fax number as any such Party shall designate in writing to the other Parties from time to time).
12.If any term or provision set forth in this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, other than those provisions held invalid or unenforceable, shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable term or provision were omitted.
13.This Agreement and all claims, disputes or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, will be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles. Regardless of any provision in any other separate agreement, the State of New York shall be deemed to be Bank's "jurisdiction" for purposes of Section 9-304 of the UCC. The Parties intend that New York's periods of limitations govern the aforementioned causes of action irrespective of any otherwise applicable statute. All Parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding relating to the Account or this Agreement.
14.This Agreement, taken together with the other Account Documentation, constitutes the entire agreement between Collateral Agent, Depositary and Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior oral or written communications between Collateral Agent, Depositary and Company relating thereto shall be of no further effect or evidentiary value.

FORM OF DEPOSIT CONTROL ACCOUNT AGREEMENT (BOFA)
DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT
This Deposit Account Control Agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”) is entered into as of , among Vineyard Wind 1 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company”), MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent as defined in the Security Agreement defined below (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank”) with respect to the following:
RECITALS:
A.Bank has agreed to maintain for Company that certain deposit account identified as number    (the “Account”).
B.Pursuant to that certain Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Company and the Collateral Agent (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), Company has assigned to Collateral Agent a security interest in the Account and in any checks, automated clearinghouse (“ACH”) transfers, wire transfers, instruments and other payment items (collectively, “Funds”) deposited in the Account.
C.Company and Collateral Agent have requested Bank to enter into this Agreement to evidence Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Account and to provide for the disposition of the Funds deposited in the Account.
D.Bank is willing to enter into this Agreement for the benefit of Company and Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Accordingly, Company, Collateral Agent and Bank agree as follows: 
1.    Collateral Agent’s Control over the Account. 
(a)    This Agreement evidences Collateral Agent’s control over the Account
within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the State of New York Uniform Commercial Code. Notwithstanding any contrary duties owed by Bank to Company under any other deposit account agreements, terms and conditions or other documentation entered into by and between Bank and Company governing the Account and any cash management or similar services provided by Bank or an affiliate of Bank in connection with the Account, including without limitation, services in connection with any “Lockbox” (as defined below) (collectively, the “Account Related Agreements”), Bank will comply with instructions originated by Collateral Agent as set forth herein directing the disposition of Funds in the Account without further consent of Company. Bank may follow such instructions even if doing so results in the dishonoring by Bank of items
Exhibit R-1-9

presented for payment from the Account or Bank otherwise not complying with any instruction from Company directing the disposition of any Funds in the Account.
(b)Company represents and warrants to Collateral Agent and Bank that it has not assigned or granted a security interest in the Account or any Funds deposited in the Account, except to Collateral Agent and Bank.
(c)Company will not permit the Account to become subject to any other pledge, assignment, lien, charge or encumbrance of any kind (“Charges”), other than Collateral Agent’s security interest referred to herein, Bank’s setoffs and the Charges permitted hereinafter.
(d)Company covenants to Collateral Agent that it will not close the Account prior to the termination of this Agreement. Bank shall have no liability in the event Company breaches this covenant to Collateral Agent.
2.    Company Access to the Account.    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2 of this
Agreement, prior to the “Activation Effective Time” (as defined below) Bank may honor withdrawal, payment, transfer, or other instructions originated by Company concerning the disposition of Funds in the Account (collectively, “Company Instructions”). On and after the Activation Effective Time, Bank shall only honor instructions originated by Collateral Agent concerning the disposition of Funds in the Account (“Collateral Agent Instructions”) without further consent from Company and Company shall have no right or ability to access, withdraw or transfer Funds from the Account. Except as provided herein, no Collateral Agent Instructions may be rescinded or modified without Bank’s consent. Both Collateral Agent and Company acknowledge that Bank may, without liability, (i) comply with any Company Instructions or otherwise complete a transaction involving the Account that Bank or an affiliate had started to process before the Activation Effective Time and (ii) commence to solely honor Collateral Agent Instructions at any time or from time to time after Bank becomes aware that Collateral Agent has sent to Bank the “Activation Notice” (as defined below) even if prior to the Activation Effective Time (including without limitation halting, reversing or redirection of any transaction), which actions (under (i) and/or (ii)) shall not, in any way, affect the commencement of the Activation Effective Time. The Account may receive merchant card deposits and chargebacks. Company acknowledges and agrees that upon commencement of the Activation Effective Time, chargebacks may be blocked from debiting the Account.
For purposes hereof, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the “Activation Effective Time” shall commence upon the opening of business on the second “Banking Day” (as defined below) following the Banking Day on which the receipt of a notice purporting to be signed by Collateral Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit A and sent to the location of Bank to which Collateral Agent is required hereunder to send the Activation Notice, with a copy of this Agreement attached (the “Activation Notice”), is acknowledged by Bank; provided, however, that if such receipt is acknowledged on any day after 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, the acknowledgment shall be deemed to have occurred on the next Banking Day. A “Banking Day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which Bank is authorized or is required by law to be closed.
Exhibit R-1-10

Within a reasonable time after commencement of the Activation Effective Time and continuing on each Banking Day thereafter, Bank shall wire transfer all immediately available Funds in the Account to the account specified by Collateral Agent in the Activation Notice. In the event Collateral Agent requests in writing a change to the wire transfer instructions provided to Bank in the Activation Notice by sending a written notice in substantially the form of Exhibit B and sent to the location of Bank to which Collateral Agent is required hereunder to send the Activation Notice, any such change requested by Collateral Agent shall commence within a reasonable time, after the opening of business on the second Banking Day following the Banking Day on which receipt of such notice is acknowledged by Bank; provided, however, that if such receipt is acknowledged on any day after 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, the acknowledgment shall be deemed to have occurred on the next Banking Day. Funds are not available if (i) they are not available pursuant to Bank’s funds availability policy as set forth in the Account Related Agreements or (ii) in the reasonable determination of Bank, (A) they are subject to hold, dispute or a binding order, judgment, decree or injunction or a garnishment, restraining notice or other legal process directing or prohibiting or otherwise restricting, the disposition of the Funds in the Account or (B) the transfer of such Funds would result in Bank failing to comply with a statute, rule or regulation.
3.Returned Items. Collateral Agent and Company understand and agree that the face amount (“Returned Item Amounts”) of each “Returned Item” (as defined herein) may be paid by Bank by debiting the Account to which the Returned Item was originally credited, without prior notice to Collateral Agent or Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Returned Item” means (i) any item deposited to the Account and returned unpaid or otherwise uncollected, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to timeliness of the return or the occurrence or timeliness of any drawee’s notice of non-payment; (ii) any item subject to, a claim against Bank for breach of transfer or presentment warranty under the Uniform Commercial Code (as adopted in the applicable state), Regulation CC (12 C.F.R. §229), clearing house operating rules or the National Automated Clearing House Association rules as in effect from time to time; (iii) any ACH entry credited to the Account and returned unpaid or subject to an adjustment entry under applicable clearing house rules, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to timeliness of the return or adjustment; (iv) any credit to the Account from a merchant card transaction, against which a contractual demand for chargeback has been made; and (v) any credit to the Account made in error and any other adjustments including those due to encoding errors or other items posted to the Account in error.
4.Settlement Items. Collateral Agent and Company understand and agree that Bank may pay the face amount (“Settlement Item Amounts”) of each “Settlement Item” (as defined herein) by debiting the applicable Account, without prior notice to Collateral Agent or Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Settlement Item” means (i) each check or other payment order drawn on or payable against any controlled disbursement account, a “Controlled Balance Account” (as defined below) or other deposit account at any time linked to the Account by a controlled balance arrangement (each a “Linked Account”), which Bank takes for deposit or value, cashes or exchanges for a cashier’s check or official check in the ordinary course of business prior to the Activation Effective Time, and which is presented for settlement against the Account (after having been presented against the Linked Account) after the Activation Effective Time, (ii) each check or other payment order drawn on or payable against the Account, which, prior to the Activation
Exhibit R-1-11

Effective Time, Bank takes for deposit or value, assures payment pursuant to a banker’s acceptance, cashes or exchanges for a cashier’s check or official check in the ordinary course of business after Bank’s cutoff time for posting, (iii) each ACH credit entry initiated by Bank, as originating depository financial institution, on behalf of Company, as originator, prior to the Activation Effective Time, which ACH credit entry settles after commencement of the Activation Effective Time, and (iv) any other payment order drawn on or payable against the Account, which Bank has paid or funded prior to the Activation Effective Time, and which is first presented for settlement against the Account in the ordinary course of business after the Activation Effective Time. Company and Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that, if there is a Linked Account not subject to this Agreement, upon commencement of the Activation Effective Time any such Linked Account will be de-linked and will no longer transfer balances to or from the Account. “Controlled Balance Account” is a deposit account that is linked to one or more other deposit accounts in order to allow transfers to be made between such accounts on an automated basis, pursuant to Company Instructions, in order to maintain a specified balance in one or more of any Linked Account, including, without limitation, zero balance arrangements where transfers are made to a subaccount from a master account or from a subaccount to a master account at the end of each Banking Day in order to maintain a zero balance in such subaccount at the end of such Banking Day.
5.Account Related Agreements. This Agreement supplements, rather than replaces, the Account Related Agreements. The Account Related Agreements will continue to apply to the Account, Lockbox, and cash management or similar services provided by Bank or any affiliate of Bank in connection with the Account to the extent not directly in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement (provided, however, that in the event of any such conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall control).
6.Lockboxes. To the extent that any Funds to be deposited to the Account have been received in one or more post office lockboxes maintained for Company by Bank (each a “Lockbox”) and have been or will be processed by Bank for deposit to the Account in accordance with the terms of the applicable Account Related Agreement (the “Remittances”), Company acknowledges that Company has granted to Collateral Agent a security interest in all Remittances. Company agrees that after Bank receives the Activation Notice, Company will not instruct Bank regarding the receipt, processing or deposit of Remittances nor will it attempt to change or redirect the items deposited in the Lockbox. Company and Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that Bank’s operation of each Lockbox, and the receipt, retrieval, processing and deposit of Remittances, will at all times be governed by the Account Related Agreements.
7.Bank Subordination and Permitted Debits. Bank hereby subordinates to the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Account and/or the Funds, any security interest which Bank may have or acquire in the Account or the Funds, except for debits to the Account permitted under this Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to commencement of the Activation Effective Time, Bank shall be permitted to offset, charge, deduct, debit or otherwise withdraw funds from the Account for Bank Fees (as defined below), any Returned Item Amounts, any Settlement Item Amounts, any Permitted Debits (as defined below) and any amount or amounts due Bank in accordance with the terms of other agreements, as in effect from time to time, between Company and Bank. Bank agrees that, after the Activation Effective Time, Bank shall not offset, charge,
Exhibit R-1-12

deduct, debit or otherwise withdraw funds from the Account, except as permitted by this Section 7, until Bank has been advised in writing by Collateral Agent that this Agreement has been terminated. Collateral Agent shall notify Bank promptly in writing upon payment in full of Company’s obligations by means of the “Termination Notice” (as defined below).
Continuing after commencement of the Activation Effective Time, Bank is permitted to debit the Account for:
(a)Bank’s documented fees and charges relating to the Account or associated with this Agreement and any other documented charges, fees, expenses, payments and other amounts for treasury management services or card services provided by Bank to Company, including, without limitation, funds transfer (origination or receipt), trade, merchant card, lockbox, stop payment, positive pay, automatic investment, imaging, and information services (collectively “Bank Fees”);
(b)any Returned Item Amounts;
(c)any Settlement Item Amounts; and
(d)chargebacks regarding merchant card deposits, merchant card fees and debits related to cash vault coin and currency requests (“Permitted Debits”).
Bank’s right to debit the Account under this Section 7 shall exist notwithstanding any obligation of Company or Collateral Agent to reimburse or indemnify Bank.
8.    Company and Collateral Agent Responsibilities. 
(a)If the balances in the Account are not sufficient to compensate Bank for any Bank Fees, Company agrees to pay Bank on demand the amount due Bank. If Company fails to so pay Bank and such Bank Fees are incurred on or after the Activation Effective Time, Collateral Agent agrees to pay Bank within five Banking Days after Bank’s demand to Collateral Agent with respect to such Bank Fees. The failure of Company or Collateral Agent to so pay Bank shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(b)If the balances in the Account are not sufficient to compensate Bank for any Returned Item Amounts or Settlement Item Amounts, Company agrees to pay Bank on demand the amount due Bank. If Company fails to so pay Bank immediately upon demand, Collateral Agent agrees to pay Bank the amount due within five days after Bank’s demand to Collateral Agent to pay such amount up to any amount transferred to an account designated by Collateral Agent; provided that Collateral Agent shall have received such written demand from Bank within three hundred sixty (360) days after the funds attributable to such Returned Item Amounts or Settlement Item Amounts have been transferred to an account designated by Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The failure by Company to so pay Bank shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(c)Bank is authorized, without prior notice and without regard to the Activation Notice under this Agreement or any other control agreement with Collateral Agent, from time to time
Exhibit R-1-13

to debit any other account Company may have with Bank for the amount or amounts due Bank under this Agreement or any other Account Related Agreement.
(d)    At the request of Bank, Company agrees to provide Bank with monthly
unaudited and annual audited financial statements within a reasonable period of time after the end of each month or year-end, as applicable, to Bank’s address set forth below.
9.Bank Statements. In addition to the original bank statement for the Account provided to Company, Bank will provide the Collateral Agent with a duplicate of such statement.
10.Bank’s Responsibility/Limitation of Liability. 
(a)Bank will not be liable to Company or Collateral Agent for any expense, claim, loss, damage or cost (“Damages”) arising out of or relating to its performance or failure to perform under this Agreement other than those Damages that result directly from Bank’s acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or intentional misconduct as determined in a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order. Bank’s obligations hereunder shall be that of a depository bank, and nothing in this Agreement shall create custodial or bailee obligations.
(b)In no event will Bank be liable for any special, indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits. In the event Bank initiates any direct party claims against Company and Collateral Agent as a result of this Agreement, Bank agrees that such claims shall exclude any special, indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits.
(c)Bank will be excused from any failure to act or delay in acting, and no such failure or delay shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise give rise to any liability of Bank, if (i) such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond Bank’s reasonable control, including but not limited to legal constraint, emergency conditions, action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, war, riot, theft, acts of terrorism, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, breakdown of public or private or common carrier communications or transmission facilities, equipment failure, or negligence or default of Company or Collateral Agent or (ii) such failure or delay resulted from Bank’s reasonable belief that the action would have violated any of Bank’s guidelines or policies, or rule or regulation of any governmental authority.
(d)Bank shall have no duty to inquire or determine whether Company’s obligations to Collateral Agent are in default or whether Collateral Agent is entitled to provide the Activation Notice or any Collateral Agent Instructions to Bank. Bank may rely on notices and communications it believes in good faith to be genuine and given by the appropriate party. Bank may accept, acknowledge or act upon any notice, instructions or other directions hereunder that contain minor mistakes or other irregularities, including notices that fail to attach an accurate copy of this Agreement.
(e)Notwithstanding any of the other provisions in this Agreement, in the event of the commencement of a case pursuant to Title 11, United States Code, filed by or against Company,
Exhibit R-1-14

or in the event of the commencement of any similar case under then applicable federal or state law providing for the relief of debtors or the protection of creditors by or against Company, Bank may act as Bank deems reasonably necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of governing statutes and shall not be in violation of this Agreement as a result.
(f)    Bank shall be permitted to comply with any writ, levy, order or other similar
judicial or regulatory order or process concerning the Account or any Funds and shall not be in violation of this Agreement for so doing.
11.    Indemnities.
(a)Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank against all liabilities, expense, claim, loss, damage or cost of any nature (including but not limited to allocated costs of in-house legal services and other reasonable and documented attorney’s fees) and any other fees and expenses, whether to Bank or to third parties (“Losses”) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including all costs of settlement of claims. This section does not apply to any Losses solely attributable to gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Bank as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.
(b)Collateral Agent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank against all Losses arising out of or relating to this Agreement as a result of Bank complying with the Collateral Agent Instructions other than Losses solely attributable to Bank’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order. Collateral Agent’s indemnification obligation to Bank as provided by this Section 11(b) shall be reduced by those amounts that Company shall have paid to the Bank pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(a) above; provided, however, such reduced indemnification obligation of Collateral Agent to Bank shall be reinstated automatically and to the extent that any amount paid by Company to Bank pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(a) above shall be required to be disgorged by Bank.
(c)Company shall pay to Bank, upon receipt of Bank’s invoice, all documented costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees (excluding allocated costs for in-house legal services) incurred by Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any related instrument or agreement, including but not limited to any costs, expenses and fees arising out of the resolution of any conflict, dispute, motion regarding entitlement to rights or rights of action, or other action relating to Bank’s rights or obligations in a case arising under Title 11, United States Code. Company agrees to pay Bank, upon receipt of Bank’s invoice, all documented costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees (excluding allocated costs for in-house legal services) incurred by Bank in the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any related instrument or agreement (including any amendments thereto).
(d)Collateral Agent shall pay to Bank, upon receipt of Bank’s invoice, all documented costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Bank in connection with the enforcement against Collateral Agent of its obligations hereunder, in each case, to the extent not otherwise paid by the Company.
Exhibit R-1-15

Collateral Agent may assign this Agreement by providing 30 days’ prior written notice of such assignment and assumption together with a copy of this Agreement to Company and Bank. Bank may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Company and Collateral Agent. Company may not terminate this Agreement except with the written consent of Collateral Agent and upon prior written notice to Bank.

and the Obligations (under and as defined in the Term Credit Agreement ([    ])). This

reimburse Guaranteed Party on written demand for all reasonable attorneys' fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Guaranteed Party in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty.

Party giving rise to a demand for payment of such costs or expenses, it is finally adjudicated that the Guarantor is not liable to make payment under Section 2 hereof.
7.Assignment. Guarantor may not assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Guaranty in whole or part without written consent of Guaranteed Party, provided, however, that Guarantor may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Guaranty without the consent of Guaranteed Party if (a) such assignment and delegation is pursuant to the assignment and delegation of all of Guarantor's rights and obligations hereunder, in whatever form Guarantor determines may be appropriate, to a partnership, limited liability company, corporation, trust or other organization in whatever form that succeeds to all or substantially all of Guarantor's assets and business and that assumes such obligations by contract, operation of law or otherwise, provided, such entity has an Investment Grade Rating by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

All remedies of Guaranteed Party under this Guaranty shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. The terms and provisions hereof may not be waived, altered, modified or amended except in a writing executed by Guarantor and Guaranteed Party.

B. OVERVIEW OF TRANSACTION AND STRUCTURE
Project:    An 800-MW wind generating facility owned by the Project Company to be built in federal waters off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
Transaction Structure:    The Investor Partners and Sponsor Partner will enter into an equity capital contribution agreement (“ECCA”), with an agreed form of limited liability company agreement (“LLCA”) to be attached as an exhibit on the Closing Date (as defined below), under which each of the Investor Partners will commit, subject to satisfaction of agreed upon conditions precedent in the ECCA, to contribute funds to the Company in exchange for the Class A Interests, with (a) 20% of the capital contributed on an initial funding date, but before the initial turbine for the Project has been placed in service for federal income tax purposes or reached substantial completion (to be defined based on agreed construction milestones in the Material Contracts (as defined below)) (the “Initial Funding Date”), (b) the minimum amount of capital required to be contributed on or before December 31, 2023 (the “Second Funding Date”),1 and the remaining portion of the capital contributed on the final funding date after [75]% or more of the Project’s wind turbines have been placed in service (the “Final Funding Date” and together with the Initial Funding Date, each a “Funding Date”), with a portion of the Final Funding Date proceeds to be escrowed in a dedicated escrow account established and maintained by the Company (the “Final Funding Date Escrow”) as further described below if the Final Funding Date occurs when less than 100% of the Project’s turbines have been placed in service.
The capital contributed by the Investor Partners to the Company, together with capital contributed by the Sponsor Partner to the Company, shall be used by the Company to purchase the Project Company on the Initial Funding Date at its estimated fair market
1 NOTE TO DRAFT: Interim Second Funding Date to occur in the event that the Initial Funding Date and the Final Funding Date do not occur in the same calendar year in order to ensure that the Investors have sufficient tax basis and capital account balances to recognize the ITC.
2

value as of the Final Funding Date as determined by the appraisal. The purchase of the Project Company shall be effected through a purchase and sale agreement between the Company and the Seller (the “PSA”)
The projected Closing Date (as defined below) is currently expected to be [May 31, 2022]. The first turbine of the Project is expected to be placed in service by [October 15, 2023]. The Initial Funding Date is currently expected to occur on or before [October 1, 2023], and the Final Funding Date is currently expected to occur on or before [April 15, 2024]. The outside date for the Final Funding Date is to be agreed but currently is expected to be [October 15, 2024] (the “Outside Date”). The dates specified above are subject to change.
The “Closing Date” is the date on which the ECCA will be signed.
The Company is expected to claim a 30% investment tax credit on its eligible basis in the Project under section 48(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is expected to elect the 12-year straight-line alternative depreciation system (ADS) depreciation for all five-year MACRS property. The tax equity transaction will be structured to remain within the IRS partnership flip guidelines in Revenue Procedure 2007-65 as revised by Announcement 2009-69.
Base Case Model:    The base case model for the transaction will be based on the latest version of the model exchanged between the Developer and Investors. It will not be the same model used for the debt facilities, and the inputs and assumptions of the model (including those provided to the Investor Partners by their technical and other advisors) may differ from those used for the debt facilities in place on the Closing Date (as defined in the Agreement).
Tax Equity Funding 
Amounts:    The total tax equity investment by the Investor Partners will be determined by re-running an agreed base case model on each of the Closing Date, Initial Funding Date and the Final Funding Date to update the anticipated Project cost, allocation of tax basis among asset classes and in-service date and to ensure continued conformity to specified pricing parameters (to be agreed).
One pricing parameter will be the projected period after the Final Funding Date that the Investor Partners are projected to reach the Flip IRR based on the P50 output case in the base case model (the “Target Flip Date”). The Target Flip Date is to be determined but may be as short as [nine] years.
3

The total tax equity investment of the Investor Partners will not exceed an amount to be agreed on the Closing Date (the “Class A Funding Commitment”). The Class A Funding Commitment is to be determined but may be up to $1,500,000,000.
Flip IRR:    An after-tax internal rate of return to be determined, but may be up to [8.00]%.
The determination of whether the Flip IRR has been met, as more fully set forth in the LLCA, will take into account certain customary “fixed tax assumptions.”
DRO:    The Investor Partners will take on a deficit restoration obligation of an amount to be agreed upon by the parties.
Sponsor Guaranties:    Each Sponsor Partner Member will provide a payment guaranty, no later than the Initial Funding Date, of the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor Partner under the ECCA and LLCA. The obligations of the guarantors under the guarantees shall be several and not joint with the other guarantors.
The guarantors will be:
•Avangrid Inc.;
•Copenhagen Infrastructure III K/S; and
•one or more U.S. subsidiaries of Copenhagen Infrastructure II K/S.
Inter-creditor 
Arrangements:    The Investor Partners will enter into a direct agreement with the lenders (or the agents acting on their behalf).
The direct agreement will contain usual and customary terms, but it is expected to provide the following rights to the lenders:
•consent to collateral assignment of the Investor Partners’ obligations under the ECCA, PSA, LLCA and associated guarantees;
•ability of the lenders to cure breaches or defaults under the ECCA and, after the Initial Funding Date and prior to the Final Funding Date, the LLCA;
•consent to an upstream change of control for the back-levered lenders to exercise remedies after any default under the back- 
4

levered debt, subject to conditions and requirements to be agreed;
•agreement by the Investor Partners not to exercise its rights to remove the managing member if the collateral agent has notified the Investor Partners of its intention to foreclose on the Class B Interests, and after foreclosure to grant the back-levered lenders the ability to appoint (in consultation with the Investor Partners) a manager that meets agreed requirements;
•without limiting the Investor Partners’ ability to pursue recourse under the sponsor guarantees, agreement by the Investor Partners that upon foreclosure there will be no obligation for the collateral agent to assume existing indemnity obligations, and any indemnity obligations would only cover indemnity obligations arising after foreclosure;
•agreement by the Investor Partners that foreclosure in compliance with conditions and requirements to be agreed will cure any event giving rise to a buy-out right in favor of Investor Partners; and
•agreement by the Investor Partners not to terminate the ECCA, PSA, LLCA and associated guarantees after the Initial Funding Date and prior to the Final Funding Date upon, and to provide a contract replacement in connection with, rejection or termination in, bankruptcy.
The direct agreement also will be expected to provide the following rights to the Investor Partners:
•the Investor Partners shall be entitled to receive all notices of default under the loan facility between the Initial Funding Date and the term conversion date under the loan facility and shall have the ability to cure such defaults; and
•at any time prior to the Final Funding Date, upon the occurrence of a default under the loan facility, the ability to purchase all of the obligations under the loan facility at par, including all loans, letter of credit loans and hedge-related exposures.
C. ECCA
Conditions to Signing:    Usual and customary.
Conditions to Fundings:    Usual and customary.
5

Completion Deadline:    The Final Funding Date must occur no later than the Outside Date.
Seller shall covenant in the PSA that the Project will satisfy all conditions precedent to the Final Funding Date by the Outside Date, and will indemnify the Company and Investor Partners as the result of any such failure. Such indemnity will be back-stopped by the Sponsor Guaranties.
Any sale proceeds received by the Seller from Company under the PSA will be distributable by the Seller. In addition, the Sponsor Partner will agree on the Initial Funding Date and the Second Funding Date to make a capital contribution to partially prepay Project Company debt and provide the Project Company with cash collateral backing the Sponsor Partner’s construction equity commitment to the lenders, in an aggregate amount equal to the portion of the PSA purchase price funded with proceeds contributed by the Investor Partners, net of expenses and other amounts to be agreed. Any cash collateral will be deposited in the construction equity accounts of the Project Company subject to the collateral agent’s liens, and the funds may be used to pay project costs.
Representations and
Warranties:    Usual and customary.
Assignment:    The ECCA will include customary provisions permitting the collateral assignment by the Sponsor Partner and Project Company of the ECCA for the benefit of the tax equity bridge loan lenders.
D. COMPANY LLCA
Allocations:    Except as provided below, income and loss will be allocated to the Investor Partners and the Sponsor Partner as follows:
(i)From the Initial Funding Date through the later of (i) five years after the last turbine is placed in service (the “ITC  Recapture Period”) and (ii) the end of the first tax year that the Company is expected to have positive net profits as shown in the base case model, 99% to the Investor Partners and 1% to the Sponsor Partner; provided that, if the Investor Partners have deficit capital accounts after the 99% allocations in clause (ii) end, they will continue to be allocated 99% of income until the deficit has been eliminated; and
(ii)thereafter, 5% to the Investor Partners and 95% to the Sponsor Partner.
6

Distributions:    Except as provided below, net cash flow will be distributed to the Investor Partners and the Sponsor Partner on a monthly basis as follows:
(i)From the Initial Funding Date through the Final Funding Date, 100% to the Sponsor Partner and 0% to the Investor Partners.
(ii)From the Final Funding Date through the Flip Date (A) to the Investor Partners the greater of (1) 5% of net cash flow and (2) based on a schedule to be attached to the LLCA, 4% of expected base case model P50 distributable cash (“Minimum Annual Cash Distribution”) and (B) the remainder to the Sponsor Partner.
Prior to the Flip Date, the prior calendar year’s actual cash distributed to the Investor Partners will be compared to the Minimum Annual Cash Distribution for such prior calendar year in each January. If the Minimum Annual Cash Distributions for such calendar year exceed the cash actually distributed to the Investor Partners for such calendar year, then the Investor Partners will be entitled to make up such shortfall in the distribution for subsequent month(s); provided that in no event will the Investor Partners receive a cash distribution in any month in excess of 12.5% of the net cash flow. If due to such 12.5% cap, the Investor Partners are unable to recoup the entire cash shortfall for a prior calendar year in January of the following year, any remaining shortfall would roll forward to February and each month thereafter until the shortfall is made up in its entirety.
(iii)Thereafter, 5% to the Investor Partners and 95% to the Sponsor Partner.
Net cash flow for this purpose means after repayment of operating expenses (including to the operations manager and asset manager), any working capital loans, reimbursement obligations for letter of credit loans or fees in respect of project credit support made by the partners, and funding of reserves reasonably determined to be necessary by the managing member.
Management:    The Sponsor Partner will be the managing member of the Company and be responsible for day-to-day management, but may hire the asset manager at the Company’s expense to administer contracts, manage accounting and billing, prepare tax returns and required reports to partners and handle other administrative and back-office tasks. The Investor Partners and the Sponsor Partner must consent before the
7

Company can make any fundamental decisions or major decisions to be agreed.
Purchase Option:    The Sponsor Partner will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Investor Partners’ Interests during the six-month period after the earlier of (a) the Flip Date and (b) the date six months prior to the tenth anniversary of the Initial Funding Date. There will be a second six-month option period beginning on the fifth anniversary of the first purchase option period. Any purchase will be for a purchase price to be agreed.
Representations 
and Covenants:    Usual and customary.
Indemnification:    The Sponsor Partner will indemnify the Investor Partners and their affiliated companies and their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, contractors and agents from damages due to breach by the Sponsor Partner (including in its capacity as managing member or partnership representative) of any representations, warranties or covenants in the LLCA or ECCA, subject to customary exclusions.

Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by any applicable Issuing Lender or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to be able to draw on such Letter of

(B)such Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to decline to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

Any deposit made pursuant to this Section 2.03(i)  shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure of the applicable Class under this Agreement and shall in the case of a Letter of Credit Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit of such Class be applied to the payment of the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loans arising as a result of such Letter of Credit Disbursement; provided that any failure or inability of the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent for any reason to apply such
-82- 

amounts shall not in any manner relieve any Lender of its obligations under Section 2.03(e) or Section 2.03(h). 
(j)    In the event that more than one Letter of Credit is issued and outstanding in favor of the same beneficiary and for the same purpose, the following provisions shall apply to such Letters of Credit:
(A)Unless the context requires otherwise, references herein to any such Letter of Credit shall refer to any and all such Letters of Credit then available to be drawn upon.
(B)Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to instruct each applicable beneficiary receiving more than one Letter of Credit to draw on each such Letter of Credit on a ratable basis; provided, that any reference herein or in any other Financing Document to any drawing on such Letters of Credit shall mean the proportion in which such Letters of Credit were actually drawn if not drawn ratably.
Section 2.04    Loans and Borrowings. 
(a)Obligations of Lenders. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class (and, upon payment by any Letter of Credit Lender of its obligation to acquire a participation under Section 2.03(e) in any Borrowing of a Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(h), such Letter of Credit Lender shall be deemed to be the direct holder of such Letter of Credit Loan without any further actions). The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it (or to make any payment under Section 2.03(e)) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans (or to make any payment under Section 2.03(e)) as required.
(b)Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.12 and Section 2.03(h), each Borrowing shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans or of Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make or hold such Loan at such Lender’s applicable lending office; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c)Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000, provided that any Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03(h) shall be in the amount of the related Letter of Credit Disbursement. Borrowings of more than one Class may be outstanding at the same
-83- 

time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.
(d)    Borrowing of Term Loans. The Borrowing of the Term Loans shall occur on the Conversion Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Term Loan Commitments.
Section 2.05    Funding of Borrowings. 
(a)Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, for deposit into (i) in the case of Term Loans, the Construction Account (as defined in the Construction Period Depositary Agreement), (ii) in the event Letter of Credit Loans are made to finance the reimbursement of Letter of Credit Disbursements pursuant to Section 2.03(h), by promptly remitting such amounts to the relevant Issuing Lenders, and (iii) in the event of any principal or interest being due and payable, to the relevant debt service payment accounts, in each case in accordance with the Depositary Agreement.
(b)Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.05 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Type of Loan made. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
Section 2.06    Interest Elections. 
(a)    Elections by the Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Loans constituting each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Term Loan Borrowing Request (or, in the case of a Borrowing under Section 2.03(h), as an ABR Borrowing) and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Term Loan Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of
-84- 

the same Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.06. No Interest Period may extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity Date. Upon receipt of an Interest Election Request from the Borrower requesting an irregular Interest Period as specified in clause (e) of the proviso in the definition of Interest Period, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall endeavor to provide the Borrower with such Interest Period so long as such Interest Period is available in the London interbank market, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall set the applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate for such irregular Interest Period through interpolating available LIBO Rate for periods having terms ending immediately prior to and immediately following such Interest Period.
(b)    Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.06(b), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by electronic communication by the time that a Term Loan Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.01 (or in the case of a conversion or continuance of a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03(h), (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed conversion or continuance of such Borrowing, or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed conversion or continuance of such Borrowing) as the case may be, if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such electronic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or electronic communication to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of Exhibit N (to the extent such election was not originally in the form of Exhibit N). 
(c)    Content of Interest Election Requests. Each electronically communicated Interest Election Request shall specify the following information:
(i)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies;
(ii)the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)whether the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”
(d)    Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
-85- 

(e)    Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor (or if any Interest Election Request made by the Borrower requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period therefor), then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to a Eurodollar Borrowing with a one-month Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (A) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (B) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor.
Section 2.07    Termination and Reduction of the Commitments. 
(a)Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Loan Commitments shall terminate following the funding of the Term Loans on the Conversion Date, (ii) [Reserved.], (iii) the PPA Letter of Credit Commitments shall terminate on the PPA Letter of Credit Maturity Date, (iv) the BOEM Letter of Credit Commitments shall terminate on the BOEM Letter of Credit Maturity Date, (v) the New Bedford Letter of Credit Commitments shall terminate on the New Bedford Letter of Credit Maturity Date, (vi) the Water Commission Letter of Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Water Commission Letter of Credit Maturity Date, (vii) the Term Loan Commitment shall partially terminate coincident with a partial termination of the “Construction Loan Commitment” (as defined in the Construction Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date) implemented pursuant to (A) Section 2.07(a)(viii) of the Construction Credit Agreement in an amount equal to the applicable Bridge Oversizing Amount or (B) Section 2.07(a)(ix) of the Construction Credit Agreement in an amount equal to equal to the applicable TE Oversizing Amount, (viii) the Term Loan Commitment shall partially terminate coincident with a prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(vii) of the Construction Credit Agreement in an amount equal to the applicable Bridge Oversizing Amount, and (ix) the Term Loan Commitment shall partially terminate coincident with a prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(vi) of the Construction Credit Agreement in an amount equal to the applicable TE Oversizing Amount.

(ii)the Borrower shall not voluntarily terminate or reduce a Class of Letter of Credit Commitments if, (A) after giving effect to such termination or reduction and any concurrent prepayment of the Letter of Credit Loans of such Class in accordance
-86- 

with Section 2.09, the sum of (1) the total Letter of Credit Exposures of such Class and (2) the total outstanding principal amount of Letter of Credit Loans of such Class would exceed the total Letter of Credit Commitments of such Class and (B) the Borrower has not demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Required Lenders that (x) the reduced portion of the Letter of Credit Commitments of such Class is not and will not be required for the relevant Permitted Letter of Credit Uses and (y) no Default or Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect would occur as a result of such termination or reduction;
(iii)the Borrower shall cause the PPA Letters of Credit to be returned and permanently cancelled on or before the PPA Letter of Credit Maturity Date. Upon such return and cancellation, the PPA Letter of Credit Commitment and the Issuing Commitment in respect of the PPA Letters of Credit shall each be automatically terminated in their entirety;
(iv)the Borrower shall cause the BOEM Letters of Credit to be returned and permanently cancelled on or before the BOEM Letter of Credit Maturity Date. Upon such return and cancellation, the BOEM Letter of Credit Commitment and the Issuing Commitment in respect of the BOEM Letters of Credit shall each be automatically terminated in their entirety;
(v)the Borrower shall cause the New Bedford Letters of Credit to be returned and permanently cancelled on or before the New Bedford Letter of Credit Maturity Date. Upon such return and cancellation, the New Bedford Letter of Credit Commitment and the Issuing Commitment in respect of the New Bedford Letters of Credit shall each be automatically terminated in their entirety; and
(vi)the Borrower shall cause the Water Commission Letters of Credit to be returned and permanently cancelled on or before the Water Commission Letter of Credit Maturity Date.

Section 2.08    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
(a)    Repayment.
(i)Term Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term Loan Lenders on each Term Loan Principal Payment Date an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on the Conversion Date multiplied by the percentage set forth opposite such Term Loan Principal Payment Date on Schedule 2.08. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term Loan Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on the Term Loan Maturity Date.
(ii)Letter of Credit Loans. With respect to a Borrowing of Letter of Credit Loans, the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of Letter of Credit Lenders all amounts available to be paid in accordance with 3.03(a)(i)(E) of the Depositary Agreement (after application of prior sub-clauses of Section 3.03(a)(i) of the Depositary Agreement), as specified in Section 2.09(b)(ix). The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lenders and Letter of Credit Lenders all outstanding Letter of Credit Disbursements and Letter of Credit Loans on the earlier of (x) the applicable Letter of Credit Maturity Date and (y) the date of acceleration of the Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b)    Manner of Payment. 
(i)    Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by electronic transmission of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one Business Day before the scheduled date of such payment and (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such payment. If the Borrower fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the applicable Class and, second, to other Borrowings of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.
-88- 

(ii)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. EST on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s lending office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. EST shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(c)    Evidence of Debt. 
(i)Each Lender may maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. In the case of a Lender that does not request, pursuant to clause (ii) below, execution and delivery of a Note evidencing the Loans made by such Lender to the Borrower, such account or accounts shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive evidence of such Indebtedness of the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to maintain such account or accounts or any error in any such account shall not limit or otherwise affect any repayment obligations of the Borrower hereunder.
(ii)The Borrower shall, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note (a “Note”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B payable to such Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Loans evidencing the Loans made by such Lender. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Notes (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive evidence of the applicable Indebtedness of the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations or any error in any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any obligations of the Borrower. A Note and the obligation evidenced thereby may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in part only in accordance with Section 9.04(b). 
Section 2.09    Prepayment of Loans. 
-89-

Prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.09(a) shall be applied pro rata to scheduled principal payments. Upon the Borrower’s prior written request, a prepayment of Borrowings of any Class may be applied to prepay outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class so long as such application does not affect the right any Lender would otherwise have to receive pro rata prepayments of the Loans or Class of Loans, as applicable, held by such Lender.

Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date after the Conversion Date and on the applicable Maturity Date; provided, that the first Quarterly Date after the Conversion
-93- 

Date on which Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable shall be at least one calendar month after the Conversion Date; provided, further, that any Letter of Credit Fees accruing after the date on which the applicable Letter of Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.

All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Lender, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error.
Section 2.11    Interest.
(a)ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)Eurodollar Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest for the applicable Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(c)Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% plus the rate that would otherwise be applicable to such amount pursuant to this Agreement or, if no other rate is so specified herein, the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.11. 
(d)Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan of any Class shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.11 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
-94- 

(e)Post-Petition Interest. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof, before and after judgment, regardless of whether any insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law exists in respect of the Borrower, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Lenders shall be entitled to receive post-petition interest during the pendency of such proceeding.
(f)Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The computation of interest and fees shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.12    Alternate Rate of Interest. 
(a)    If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing:
(i)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Borrowing; or
(ii)such Borrowing is of a particular Class of Loans and the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing of the affected Class as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (ii) if any Term Loan Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing of the affected Class shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
-95- 

(b)    In addition, if any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Applicable Law after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make Eurodollar Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all such Eurodollar Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.
Section 2.13    Increased Costs. 
(a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Lender;
(ii)subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in any of clauses (a) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, loan principal, Letters of Credit, Commitments, or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein,
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) to the Borrower or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs actually incurred or reduction suffered.
-96- 

(b)Capital Requirements. If, after the Closing Date, any Lender or any Issuing Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually incurred or suffered.
(c)Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13  shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
(d)Delay in Requests. Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.14    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (other than in connection with any Eurodollar Borrowing that is not made pursuant to Section 2.05 due to circumstances set forth in Section 2.12) or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate
-97- 

each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (but excluding any anticipated profits). In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurodollar Loan, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits in Dollars from other banks in the eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such certificate to the Borrower, and such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and except with regard to any voluntary prepayments hereunder or the events described in Section 2.13(a) and (b), each Lender shall, unless otherwise requested by Borrower, use reasonable efforts to minimize any such break funding payments by, among other things, not applying mandatory prepayments until the last day of an Interest Period so long as such Lender, in its sole discretion, does not determine that such efforts would be disadvantageous to such Lender.
Section 2.15    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party or the Pledgor under any Financing Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party or the Pledgor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
-98- 

(b)Payment of Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay or cause to be paid any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(c)Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify or cause to be indemnified each Recipient within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15, but without duplication of any amounts paid or indemnified under Section 2.15(a)) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The amount of such payment or liability and the denomination thereof as set forth in a certificate (accompanied by supporting calculations) delivered to the Borrower by the applicable Recipient, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)Forms.
(i)    Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under any Financing Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.15(e)(ii)(A), 2.15(e)(ii)(B) and 2.15(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the reasonable judgment of the applicable Lender such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender;
-99- 

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing:
(A)each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)each Lender that is not a U.S. Person, shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)in the case of such a Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Financing Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Financing Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)in the case of such a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4)to the extent such Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the
-100- 

portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)each Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Financing Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in such Recipient’s sole judgment, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15  with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the
-101- 

request of the applicable Recipient agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over by such Recipient to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will any Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) to the extent such payment would place such Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.
(g)Tax Returns. This Section 2.15 shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential, it being understood that the forms and statements required to be provided under Section 2.15 shall not be considered confidential for this purpose) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Financing Document.
Section 2.16    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set- 
offs. 
(a)    Payments by the Borrower. Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall
make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of Letter of Credit Disbursements, or under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) or under any other Financing Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer to the following account: payment instructions: Bank Name: The Bank of New York Mellon; ABA Number: 021000018; Account No.: 2997578400; Reference: BSNY-Vineyard; except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Financing Document and except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Lender as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto, in each case subject to the terms of the Depositary Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
-102- 

interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All amounts owing under this Agreement or under any other Financing Document are payable in Dollars.
(b)Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder or under the other Financing Documents, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder or under the other Financing Documents, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and other amounts then due to such parties and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements then due hereunder or under the other Financing Documents, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c)Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of a particular Class shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of a Commitment Fee under Section 2.10(a) in respect of Commitments of a particular Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.07 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of any Class shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
(d)Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph
-103- 

shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(e)Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders or any Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or each applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(f)Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(e), 2.05(b), 2.16(e) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.17    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (y) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
-104- 

be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Replacement of Lenders. 
(i)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.17(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender and has failed to cure the circumstances as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payment pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.15) and obligations (including any participation under any Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.03) under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law, (x) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, to the extent such assignee is assuming any Letter of Credit Commitment, the Issuing Lenders of each applicable Class, which consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (y) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it or its Affiliates under the Financing Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (z) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in the elimination or a reduction in such compensation or payments, and (aa) prior to the Conversion Date, the foregoing assignment and other procedures occur concurrently under the Construction Credit Agreement and the Other Term Credit Agreement. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 2.17 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.
(ii)If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.02 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected, with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Borrower shall have the right to replace such Non- 
-105- 

Consenting Lender (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and, to the extent such assignee is assuming any Letter of Credit Commitment, the Issuing Lenders of each applicable Class); provided that (x) any such Non-Consenting Lender must be replaced with a Lender that grants the applicable consent and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it or its Affiliates under the Financing Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04. 
(iii) Any Lender that has been replaced as a Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.17(b), and that is a party to a Permitted Swap Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly novate, assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights and obligations under such Permitted Swap Agreement to which it is party to the assignee replacing it as a Lender hereunder pursuant to this Section 2.17(b) or to another Lender or Affiliate thereof, which, in each case, shall be a Permitted Swap Counterparty; provided, however, that if such replaced Lender is unable to novate, assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights and obligations under any Permitted Swap Agreement to which it is a party pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to such Lender or Affiliate within thirty days after such Lender’s replacement, despite the exercise of commercially reasonably efforts to do so, then such replaced Lender may terminate such Permitted Swap Agreement in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall have no obligation with respect to such assignment if such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that such assignment would violate its internal credit policies and “know your customer” policies. Borrower shall bear all costs and expenses, and shall reimburse any Lender or its Affiliates for all costs and expenses incurred by such Lender or Affiliate, in connection with any assignment or novation of a Permitted Swap Agreement pursuant to this Section.
Section 2.18    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)    Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a); provided that each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.19. With respect to any
-106- 

Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause (a), the Borrower shall (i) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Exposure that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) below, (ii) to pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of any fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (iii) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(b)The Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, the Pro Rata Outstandings) of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver requiring Required Lender or Supermajority Lender approval pursuant to Section 9.02), but shall be included in determining whether the Lenders have taken, or may take, any action hereunder if more than Supermajority Lender approval is required.
(c)Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agents or Depositary Bank under the Financing Documents; (ii) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender; (iii) third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender, if any, in accordance with Section 2.19, (iv) fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; (v) fifth, if so determined by the Required Lenders or requested by an Issuing Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Letter of Credit; (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lenders as a result of any then final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or an applicable Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; (vii) seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any then final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction (provided that, with respect to this clause (viii), if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Defaulting Lender). Any payments, prepayments or
-107- 

other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(d)All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders of the same Class as such Defaulting Lender in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s applicable Letter of Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(e)If the reallocation described in clause (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19. 
(f)If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Class (without giving effect to clause (d) of this Section), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(g)So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Section 2.19    Cash Collateral. 
-108- 

(a)Defaulting Lender. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.18(d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than 102.5% of the Letter of Credit Exposure of all Issuing Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.
(b)Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first-priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect Letter of Credit Disbursements, to be applied pursuant to Section 2.19(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than 102.5% of the Letter of Credit Exposure of all Issuing Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(c)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.19 or Section 2.18 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Disbursements (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(d)Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.18, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
Section 2.20    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Financing Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Financing Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write- 
-109- 

Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Financing Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 2.21    Benchmark Replacement Setting. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document (and any Permitted Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Financing Document” for purposes of this Section 2.21): 
(a)Replacing USD LIBOR. On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of USD LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR tenor settings. On the earlier of (i) the date that all Available Tenors of USD LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (ii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is USD LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Financing Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Financing Document.
(b)Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Financing Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement
-110- 

is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Financing Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.
(c)Term SOFR Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Financing Document in respect of any Benchmark setting without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Financing Document, provided, however, that, the Administrative Agent (i) has (in consultation with the Borrower) delivered a Term SOFR Notice to the Lenders and (ii) has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date the Term SOFR Notice is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(d)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right in consultation with the Borrower to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(e)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.21, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be
-111- 

conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.21.
(f)    Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.
Section 2.22    Bridge Loan Facilities. 
(a)    Borrower Request. The Borrower may by written notice to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more new bridge loan commitments (each, a “Bridge Loan Commitment”). Each such notice shall: (i) specify the anticipated date on which the Borrower proposes that the Bridge Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 45 days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; (ii) specify the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Bridge Loan Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; (iii) include reasonably detailed information about the anticipated source of the Bridge Take Out; (iv) include an update to the most recently updated Base Case Projections reflecting only Prior Projection Updates, the Bridge Loan Commitments, the expected or actual date of Substantial Completion, the expected or actual Conversion Date, changes to projected interest rates, the terms and conditions of the Bridge Take Out and calculations of any anticipated TE Commitment Reduction Amount, Bridge Commitment Reduction Amount, the TE Oversizing Amount, the Bridge Oversizing Amount, the Bridge Prepayment Amount, and the TE Term Loan Prepayment Amount (as applicable) (and holding all other inputs and assumptions in such Base Case Projections constant); and (v) include an initial proposed draft of the Increase Joinder in respect of the Bridge Loan Commitment. The aggregate Bridge Loan Commitments for any Lender shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $30,000,000 and whole multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent may elect or decline to arrange such Bridge Loan Commitments in its sole discretion and each Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Bridge Loan Commitment in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate Term Loan Commitments among all Lenders electing to provide a Bridge Loan Commitment; and, if any of the existing Lenders decline to provide any portion of such Bridge Loan Commitment, or if any of the Lenders do not respond in writing within ten Business Days after being notified by Borrower of such request, the Borrower may offer such portion of the Bridge Loan Commitment to any other Person that is an Eligible Assignee; provided further that if the Administrative Agent declines to arrange the Bridge Loan Commitment in accordance with this Section 2.22(a), the Borrower may designate any arranger it may deem appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of the
-112- 

Increase Effective Date and in respect thereof the Bridge Loan Commitments and applicable Lenders holding such Commitments.
(b)    Conditions. The Bridge Loan Commitments shall become effective as of the first date that the following conditions precedent have been satisfied (the “Increase Effective  Date”):

(iv)the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered officer’s certificates and legal opinions with respect to the Increase Joinder of the type delivered on the Closing Date to the extent reasonably requested by, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Supermajority Lenders;
(v)upon the reasonable request of any Lender made at least 10 days prior to the Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall have provided to such Lender, and such Lender shall be reasonably satisfied with, the documentation and other information so requested in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, in each case at least 5 days prior to the Increase Effective Date, and at least 5 days prior to the Increase Effective Date, any Loan Party that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall have delivered, to each Lender that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Loan Party;

(xii)no later than five Business Days before the Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (for delivery to each Lender) (A) a final update to the most recently updated Base Case Projections, reflecting only Prior Projection Updates, the final Bridge Loan Commitments, the terms and conditions of the Direct Payment Documents, the expected or actual date of Substantial Completion, the expected or actual Conversion Date, changes to projected interest rates, the Bridge Commitment Reduction Amount, the TE Oversizing Amount, TE Commitment Reduction Amount, the Bridge Oversizing Amount, the Bridge Prepayment Amount, the TE Prepayment Amount, and the TE Term Loan Prepayment Amount (as applicable) (and holding all other inputs and assumptions in such Base Case Projections constant), which Base Case Projections update shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (in consultation with the Independent Engineer) and (B) a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower stating that such projections and supporting documents were prepared in good faith by the Borrower and are based upon assumptions which the Borrower considers to be reasonable, it being understood that such Base Case Projections are not to be viewed as facts and are subject to uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Borrower, that no assurance can be given that the Base Case Projections will be realized, that actual results may differ and such differences may be material.
(c)    Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to Bridge Loan Commitments shall be as follows:
-114- 

(i)terms and provisions of Bridge Loans shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Increase Joinder, identical to the Term Loans and to the extent that the terms and provisions of Bridge Loans are not identical to the Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (ii) or (iii) below) they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Supermajority Lenders; provided that in any event the Bridge Loans must comply with clauses (ii) and (iii) below;

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.02, the Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22. This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.
(e)Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the security interests created by the Security Documents, except that the new Loans may be subordinated in right of payment or the Liens securing the new Loans may be subordinated, in each case, to the extent set forth in the Increase Joinder. The Loan Parties and the Pledgor shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such class of Loans or any such new Commitments.
Article III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
-115- 

The Borrower makes the representations and warranties contained in this Article III to each Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders.

Each Loan Party and Shareco is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where necessary in light of its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted under the Transaction Documents to which it is party (including the Commonwealth of Massachusetts), except where failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Transaction Document to which each Loan Party is party has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party, is in full force and effect and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited (i) by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

-116- 

all material portions of the Project Site necessary for the then-current stage of the Development and good and marketable title and interest in the other material Project Assets, and such interests are sufficient to build, construct and operate the Project for the then-current stage of the Development in accordance with the Transaction Documents, in each case free and clear of all Liens other than any Permitted Encumbrances.

(a)Schedule 3.05 constitutes a complete and accurate list of all material Governmental Approvals required for the Development as contemplated by the Material Project Documents and for the Loan Parties’ execution, delivery, and performance of the Transaction Documents. As of the Closing Date, the Governmental Approvals set forth in Part A of Schedule 3.05 (the “Part A Approvals”) (i) constitute all material Governmental Approvals that are required to be obtained as of the Closing Date for the Loan Parties’ execution, delivery, and performance of the Transaction Documents and for the current stage of the Development as of such date and (ii) except as set forth in Part A of Schedule 3.05, were duly obtained, are in full force and effect, are not subject to any pending appeals, are final, and the administrative and judicial periods to appeal such Governmental Approvals have expired (other than under the Administrative Procedure Act or any citizen suit provisions under Applicable Law pursuant to which such Governmental Approval was issued), and all conditions or requirements in the Part A Approvals required to have been satisfied by the date that this representation is made have been satisfied and the Borrower is not aware of any material modifications that need to be made to these Governmental Approvals.

No (i) Default or Event of Default, (ii) Event of Abandonment or (iii) Event of Damage or Event of Taking has occurred and is continuing, other than (in the case of clause (iii) and as of any date when this representation and warranty is made after the Closing Date) any Event of Damage or Event of Taking that is either a Minor Loss or for which a restoration notice and/or restoration plan has been approved in accordance with Section 5.17.

(b)There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened or contemplated claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan, except, to the extent that this representation and warranty is made after the Closing Date, such claims, actions or lawsuits that could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)If the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds result from an Event of Damage or Event of Taking that is not a Minor Loss or a Major Loss, such proceeds may be used by the Project Company (following any required consent or other authorization under each Applicable LLC Agreement) to restore or repair the Project if the Project Company provides (i) a written restoration notice, including a preliminary proposed plan, budget and schedule for the applicable restoration action, within 30 days of the occurrence of the Event of Damage or Event of Taking in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Independent Engineer) and (ii) a written certification that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will occur as a result of such restoration or repair and that funds are available to meet the Borrower’s and each Subsidiary's obligations under the Transaction Documents while the Project is being restored or repaired.
(d)If the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds result from an Event of Damage or Event of Taking that is a Major Loss, such proceeds may be used by the Project Company (following any required consent or other authorization under each Applicable LLC Agreement) to restore or repair the Project if the Project Company provides (i) a written restoration notice, including a preliminary proposed plan, budget and schedule for the applicable restoration action, within 30 days of the occurrence of the Event of Damage or Event of Taking in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders (in consultation with the Independent Engineer) (such Required Lender approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) , (ii) a written restoration or repair plan within 60 days of the occurrence of the Event of Damage or Event of Taking in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders (in consultation with the Independent Engineer) (such Required Lender approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (iii) a written certification that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will occur as a result of such restoration or repair and that funds are available to meet the Borrower’s and each Subsidiary's obligations under the Transaction Documents while the Project is being restored or repaired.

The Permitted Swap Agreements shall have a termination date of the last day of such twenty three year amortization period with a mandatory break scheduled on an assumed Term Loan Maturity Date of April 30, 2031, as reflected in the Base Case Projections. Borrower shall not enter into new Permitted Swap Agreements in an aggregate notional principal amount of more than 105% of the anticipated aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans that as of the date such Permitted Swap Agreement is entered into are projected to be outstanding through the Term Loan Maturity Date. If on any Quarterly Date occurring on March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 of any year (provided that the first such date shall occur at least three months after the Closing Date), the notional amounts under the Permitted Swap Agreements, in the aggregate, are greater than 105% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans, Borrower shall have a period of up to 60 days after the date on which such condition occurs to take such action as may be necessary to ensure that the notional amounts under such Permitted Swap Agreements, in the aggregate, are not greater than 105% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (and no breach under this Section 5.19 shall be deemed to have occurred during such 60 day period); provided that Borrower shall not have to reduce such
-147- 

notional amounts or take any action therefor if the notional amounts under the Permitted Swap Agreements, in the aggregate, are greater than 105% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and the transactions under such Permitted Swap Agreements are interest rate caps (as opposed to swaps or other products); provided further, that for the period from the Quarterly Date occurring at least three months after the Closing Date to the Conversion Date, such percentages shall be determined on a pro forma basis as if the anticipated Term Loan amounts used to enter into the Permitted Swap Agreements within 10 Business Days after the initial disbursement of Construction Loans were actually borrowed. Any termination of Permitted Swap Agreements undertaken pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 5.19 shall be on a pro rata basis among all of the Permitted Swap Agreements, according to the notional amounts then outstanding under each such Permitted Swap Agreement. All such Permitted Swap Agreements shall be documented pursuant to customary International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements. The obligations of the Borrower to each counterparty to a Permitted Swap Agreement under such Permitted Swap Agreement shall be secured pari passu with the Loans pursuant to the Security Documents.

A proposed annual Operating Budget shall be subject to the prior review and approval of the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Independent Engineer) only if the proposed annual Operating Budget shows that (x) the total budgeted Operating and Maintenance Expenses for the Project for the calendar year would exceed (y) 110% of the total Operating and Maintenance Expenses for the Project in that calendar year in the most recently updated Base Case Projections; such approval shall be provided on or before the date that is 30 days prior to the end of each Fiscal Year and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for one Operating Budget after the first Operating Budget, the Borrower, without the review and approval of the Administrative Agent, may adopt an Operating Budget where total Operating and Maintenance Expenses are up to (but do not exceed) 110% of the maximum annual Operating and Maintenance Expenses for the Project for a calendar year in the most recently updated Base Case Projections.
(b)In the event that the Operating Budget (other than the initial Operating Budget) is not approved by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.20(a) or the Borrower has not submitted a proposed annual Operating Budget in accordance with the terms and conditions herein, an operating budget including 100% of the relevant costs set forth in the Base Case Projections for the calendar year shall apply until the Operating Budget for the then current calendar year is approved. Copies of each final Operating Budget adopted shall be furnished to the Independent Engineer and the Administrative Agent promptly upon its adoption.
-148- 

(c)The Borrower may from time to time adopt an amended Operating Budget for the remainder of any Fiscal Year to which such amended Operating Budget applies, and such amended Operating Budget shall be effective as the Operating Budget for the remainder of such Fiscal Year upon the consent of the Administrative Agent to such amendment (in consultation with the Independent Engineer), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing and without necessitating any amendment to the Operating Budget, the Borrower or the other Loan Parties may exceed the aggregate Operating and Maintenance Expenses set forth in any Operating Budget (including reasonable allowances for contingencies and working capital) (i) to the extent reasonably necessary to address any emergency situation; (ii) in respect of fixed Operating and Maintenance Expenses, by an amount not to exceed 10% of the aggregate budgeted amount of fixed Operating and Maintenance Expenses for the applicable Fiscal Year (for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of any increase as a result of the automatic increase set forth in Section 5.20(b) and in any event excluding any Operating and Maintenance Expenses that are variable, such as amounts set forth in clause (iii)) and (iii) in respect of Operating and Maintenance Expenses that are variable, which shall reflect the actual costs incurred by the Borrower in purchasing such items.
Section 5.21    Build-Out Amount. After the Conversion Date:
(a)The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the Project Company to, approve or consent to the calculation or determination of the Build-Out Amount in accordance with the Build-Out Agreement without the prior approval of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (in consultation with the Independent Engineer), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)    The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders the lesser of (i) an amount equal to the Build-Out Amount received by the Borrower in respect of such Subsequent Wind Farm and its Wind Interference Effect on the Project and (ii) any Build-Out Prepayment Amount on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date that such Build-Out Prepayment Amount is approved pursuant to Section 5.21(c) (the “Build-Out Prepayment Date”); provided that if the Build-Out Amount distributed to the Borrower is less than the Build-Out Prepayment Amount, any excess Build-Out Prepayment Amount remaining thereafter shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 3.03(a)(i)(G) of the Depositary Agreement and the applicable clause of Section 2.09.

(a)    Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Banco Santander, S.A., New York Branch to act as its Administrative Agent under the Financing Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Financing Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes MUFG Union Bank, N.A. to act as its Collateral Agent under the Financing Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Financing Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Bank, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Permitted Swap Counterparties, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Financing Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Depositary Bank is not intended to connote and shall not connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Each Agent, by executing this Agreement, hereby accepts such appointment. The
-175- 

Depositary Bank shall be an express third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Article VIII as set forth herein and shall be entitled to benefit from the rights designated to it herein and enforce the obligations of the Lenders or other Secured Parties owed to it hereunder.

The Collateral Agent, in such capacity (and any co-agents, subagents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on any Collateral granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII (and Section 9.03 to the same extent as “Agent” thereunder) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto (and such provisions shall, as the context may require, inure to the benefit thereof). Additionally, every covenant and obligation contained in the Financing Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by any of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or Pledgor be required by the Collateral Agent or any such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Person shall execute, acknowledge (or shall cause to be executed and acknowledged) and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.
(c)Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Financing Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, and any of their sub-agents may perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent are authorized on behalf of all the Lenders and Issuing Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, from time to time to permit any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by such person to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Financing Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon any Collateral granted pursuant to any Security Document. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII, as well as all other indemnity and expense reimbursement provisions of this Agreement (including Section 9.03), shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein. Neither the Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment
-176- 

that Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
(d)The Collateral Agent hereby appoints Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender as its agent (and Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lenders hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Collateral Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the UCC can be perfected by possession or control. Should Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Person shall notify Collateral Agent thereof and, promptly upon Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Collateral Agent or in accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions.
(e)Each Lender that is a Permitted Swap Counterparty or which has an Affiliate that is a Permitted Swap Counterparty for itself, and on behalf of any such Affiliate, in its capacity as a Permitted Swap Counterparty, irrevocably appoints and authorizes Collateral Agent to act as its Collateral Agent under the Financing Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms of the Financing Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business
-177- 

with, any Loan Party or any subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Secured Parties.

(a)    No Agent or the Depositary Bank shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be ministerial and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent or the Depositary Bank:
(i)shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)shall have any duty to take any action that requires judgment or to exercise any powers requiring judgment, except, with respect to the Administrative Agent those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Financing Documents or that any Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable, is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Financing Documents) or by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be; provided that no Agent or the Depositary Bank shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable, to liability or that is contrary to any Financing Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification, or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or Depositary Bank, as applicable, or in either case any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)    No Agent or the Depositary Bank shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 7.02 and Section 9.02(b)) or by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.
(c)    No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to such
-178- 

Agent by the Borrower or a Secured Party. If any Agent obtains actual knowledge of a Default or Event of Default or receives such notice, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the Secured Parties. Upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until any Agent shall have received such direction, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it deems advisable in the best interest of the Secured Parties. In no event shall any Agent be required to comply with any such directions to the extent that such Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful.
(d)    No Agent or the Depositary Bank shall be responsible for or have any duty
to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
Section 8.04    Reliance by Agents. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank
shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), financial advisors, insurance consultants, environmental consultants, independent accountants and any other advisors, consultants or experts selected by it for any purpose deemed advisable to it relating to or in connection with this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and such Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable, shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants, advisors, consultants or experts. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank at any time may solicit written
-179- 

confirmatory instructions from the Required Lenders (and, in addition, Collateral Agent may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions from the Administrative Agent) as to any action that it may be requested or required to take, or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Financing Documents.
Section 8.05    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Financing Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable. Each Agent, the Depositary Bank and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent, the Depositary Bank and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as such Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable. No Agent or the Depositary Bank shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of a competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent or the Depositary Bank, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 8.06    Resignation; Removal. 
(a)    Each Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Secured Parties and the Borrower, no later than 30 days prior to the effective date of such resignation. Each Agent may be removed upon 30 days’ prior notice (the “Removal Effective Date”) by the Required Lenders for such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or upon any such removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender with an office in New York, New York, an Affiliate of a Lender or a financial institution with an office in New York, New York having a combined capital and surplus that is not less than $500,000,000, or otherwise petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date, or such removal shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date, as applicable.
-180- 

(b)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Secured Party directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Financing Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring (or retired) or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent was acting as such Agent.
(c)Notwithstanding anything in any Financing Document to the contrary, to the extent that any Non-Voting Lender holds Loans or Commitments, no such Non-Voting Lender, in its capacity as Lender, may act to remove any Person acting as Agent or Depositary Bank.
Section 8.07    Lender Acknowledgments; Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Secured Party party hereto acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Depositary Bank, any Agent or any other Secured Party, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Depositary Bank, any Agent or any other Secured Party, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 8.08    Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Secured Party an amount equivalent to any U.S. federal withholding Tax. If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold U.S. federal withholding Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Secured Party because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Secured Party failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
-181- 

withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Secured Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all reasonable expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Secured Party by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Person under this Agreement or any other Financing Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.08. 
Section 8.09    Authorization. Each Agent and the Depositary Bank is hereby authorized to execute, deliver and perform each of the Financing Documents to which such Agent is a party. The Secured Parties agree to be bound by the terms and limitations of the professional services agreement between the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Independent Engineer.
Section 8.10    Lead Arrangers; No Other Duties, Etc. The parties agree that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Green Loan Coordinator and the Joint Lead Arrangers identified on the cover page of this Agreement shall have any powers, duties, obligations, liability or responsibility under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent, a Lender, an Issuing Lender or Permitted Swap Counterparty. Without limiting any of the foregoing, no Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Green Loan Coordinator or Joint Lead Arranger, in its capacity as such, shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, Issuing Lender or Permitted Swap Counterparty. Each Lender, each Issuing Lender and Permitted Swap Counterparty acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, the Green Loan Coordinator or any Joint Lead Arranger in deciding to enter into this Agreement or any other Financing Document or in taking or not taking any action hereunder or thereunder.
Section 8.11    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
-182- 

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Agents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each Agent to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the Agents, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent.
Section 8.12    Erroneous Payments. 
(a)    If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated on its books and records by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from
-183- 

time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)    Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party such Lender or Issuing Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
(i)(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.12(b). 
(c)    Each of the Collateral Agent and each Lender or Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to the Collateral Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Financing Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d)    In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuing Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such
-184- 

Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party under the Financing Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”). 
(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim
-185- 

or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)This Section 8.12 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent.
(h)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Financing Document.
Section 8.13    Permitted Judgment. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any Financing Document to any action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by an Agent, or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of judgment, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by an Agent, such Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to solicit written confirmatory instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in any other Financing Document) prior to exercising any of the foregoing.

(ii)reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Letter of Credit Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.08(a) or in respect of the Loans arising as a result of a Letter of Credit Disbursement, or of any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment under Section 2.07(a), without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.16(c) or 2.16(d) without the consent of each Lender affected thereby, (v) change the order of any priority of payment under Section 7.03 hereof, Section 3.03(a) of the Depositary Agreement or Section 3.06(a) of the Depositary Agreement or alter any provision of any Financing Document relating to the pro rata sharing of any payment, in each case, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby; (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b)  or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release the Pledgor or any Loan Party from its obligations under the Financing Documents without the written consent of each Lender (except to the extent specifically provided therefor in the Financing Documents), (viii) waive any condition specified in Section 4.01 without the written consent of each Lender, (ix) amend, waive or modify any provision subject to a consent or approval right of the Supermajority Lenders without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders or (x) change the provisions of any Financing Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class; and provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, the Depositary Bank or any Issuing Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent, the Depositary Bank or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Pledgor and the Loan Parties and the Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) amend or supplement any Financing Document without the consent of any Lender or any Issuing Lender (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency which is not material, (2) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Lenders, (3) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by any of the Security Documents, including to secure any Permitted Indebtedness that may be secured by a Permitted Encumbrance on the Collateral, or any release of any Collateral that is otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement and the Security Documents, (4) to revise any schedule to reflect any change in notice information, (5) to revise the account numbers for each of the Accounts as may be necessary to reflect the replacement of the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Bank or as may be required by internal procedures of the Collateral Agent or the
-190- 

Depositary Bank or (6) to revise the name of the Collateral Agent on any UCC financing statement or other Security Document as may be necessary to reflect the replacement of the Collateral Agent. Any such amendment, modification, or supplement that is set forth in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be binding on the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders and where any Financing Document expressly provides that the Administrative Agent or any other Agent may waive, amend, or modify such Financing Document or any provision thereof, or consent to any act or action of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such other Agent may do so without the further consent of the Lenders and any such waiver, amendment, modification, or consent that is set forth in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent or such other Agent, as applicable, shall be binding on the Agents and the Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to Non-Voting Lenders: the unused portion of the Commitments and the Pro Rata Outstandings of a Non-Voting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders (as applicable) have taken or may take any action hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Non-Voting Lender, in its capacity as Lender, shall: (A) have any voting or approval rights whatsoever under the Financing Documents other than the Commitments of any such Non-Voting Lender may not be increased or extended, the maturity of the Loans of any Non-Voting Lender may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of such Loans may not be reduced, the fees or premium of or due in respect of any such Loans may not be reduced, the principal amount of any of such Loans may not be forgiven, and the pro rata status of such Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Non-Voting Lender; (B) be permitted to require any other Secured Party to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) pursuant to or with respect to the Financing Documents (including in respect of exercise of remedies); (C) be permitted, in its capacity as a Lender, to attend any meeting or conference call with any other Lender Party or any Loan Party or Pledgor, to receive any information from any other Secured Party or any Loan Party or Pledgor (other than the right to receive notices of borrowings, notices of prepayments, and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans and Commitments required to be delivered pursuant to the applicable Financing Documents) or have any rights of inspection or access relating to any Loan Party or Pledgor; or (D) be permitted to make or bring any claim, in its capacity as Lender, against any other Lender Party with respect to the duties and obligations of such Secured Party under the Financing Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Loan Party or Pledgor shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary proceeding commenced under any Debtor Relief Law, each Non-Voting Lender shall not have the right to vote under the Financing Documents in accordance with its discretion, but shall authorize the Administrative Agent to vote on its behalf as directed by the Required Lenders (and such Non-Voting Lender shall grant to the Administrative Agent a power of attorney in furtherance thereof) and shall agree not take any step or action in its capacity as a Non-Voting Lender in such proceeding to object to, impede, or delay the exercise of any right or the taking of any action by the Administrative Agent (or the taking of any action by a third party to which the Administrative Agent has consented with respect to any disposition of assets by the relevant Loan Party or any equity or debt financing to be made to the relevant Loan Party), including the filing
-191- 

of any pleading by the Administrative Agent in (or with respect to any matters related to) the proceeding.
Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment, or modification authorized in accordance with this Section 9.02 regardless of whether its Note shall have been marked to make reference thereto, and any waiver, amendment, or modification authorized in accordance with this Section 9.02 shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note from such Lender, whether or not such note shall have been so marked. Any agreement or agreements that the Administrative Agent executes and delivers to waive, amend, or modify any Financing Document in accordance with this Section 9.02 shall be binding on the Lenders and each of the Agents without the further consent of the Lenders or the other Agents.
Section 9.03    Expenses; Indemnity; etc. 
(a)    Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any of the Agents (and any of their respective sub-agents) or the Issuing Lenders (including the reasonable fees, expenses, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Agents and of advisors, consultants, accountants and experts (including the Independent Engineer, the Environmental Consultant, the Transmission Consultant, the Wind Consultant and the Insurance Advisor) engaged by the Agents from time to time) in connection with the primary syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, the extension of credit thereunder or hereunder, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (in any case, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder; (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuing Lender (including payment of the fees provided for herein) or the Agents (including the fees, expenses, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents (and any of their respective sub-agents) and the Lenders and the fees and expenses of other consultants of the Agents (and any of their respective sub-agents) and the Lenders) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations (whether or not consummated) in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; (iv) all costs, expenses, assessments and other charges incurred by any of the Agents (and any of their respective sub-agents), the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein; and (v) all costs, expenses and other charges incurred by any of the Agents (and any of their respective subagents), the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates in respect of title insurance or notary fees procured with respect to the Liens created pursuant to any of the Security

Agent (and any of their respective sub-agents), each Joint Lead Arranger, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties, disbursements and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties and, to the extent required, one firm of regulatory and one firm of local counsel in each relevant regulatory field and jurisdiction, as appropriate, for all Indemnified Parties (and, in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Party affected by such conflict has informed the Borrower of such conflict, of another firm of counsel, regulatory counsel or local counsel, as applicable, for each such affected Indemnified Party), provided that to the extent an Agent is an Indemnified Party, such Agent shall have the right to have its own separate counsel) incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Pledgor, the Borrower or any other Loan Party) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i)(A) any Environmental Claim relating to or arising in connection with the Development, the Project, the Pledgor, the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (B) any actual, alleged or threatened presence or Release of Hazardous Substances relating to or arising in connection with the Development, the Project Assets or the Borrower; (C) any other liability or obligation under any Environmental Law or Governmental Approval related to or arising in connection with the Development, the Project Assets or the Borrower; (D) the syndication, execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents or Project Documents or any other document, agreement or instrument in any way relating to the Financing Documents or Project Documents or the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents or Project Documents; (E) any transaction (whether or not consummated and including any services to be performed by the Agents in connection with such transactions) contemplated by the Financing Documents or Project Documents or any other document, agreement or instrument in any way relating to the Financing Documents or Project Documents; or (F) any action or inaction by the Agents in accordance with written instructions delivered by the Borrower or the Required Lenders; (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, but subject to Section 2.03(f)(ii)); or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, demand, investigation, suit or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing clauses (i)–(ii), whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Pledgor, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.
-193- 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. The Borrower also agrees that (x) it waives any claim it may have against any Indemnified Party for breach of fiduciary duty arising under the Transaction Documents or alleged breach of fiduciary duty arising under the Transaction Documents and (y) no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or to any security holders or creditors thereof related to or arising out of the execution, delivery and performance of any Financing Document or Project Document or any other document in any way relating to the Financing Documents or Project Documents or the other transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents or Project Documents, except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (1) such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (2) other than by an Agent, such Indemnified Party’s material breach of its express obligations under the Financing Documents. All amounts due under this Section 9.03(b) shall be payable as the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses contemplated under this Section 9.03(b) are incurred.
(c)    Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason
fails to pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03 to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) (each such Person being called a “Lender Indemnified Party”) or any Related Party of any Lender Indemnified Party, and without limiting the Obligations of the Borrower, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Lender Indemnified Party or such Related Party, as the case may be, ratably in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought, or, if the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought after the date upon which the Commitments have been terminated and the Obligations have been paid in full, then ratably in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage immediately prior to such date) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Lender Indemnified Party in its capacity as such, or against such Related Party acting for such Lender Indemnified Party in connection with such capacity. All amounts due under this Section 9.03(c) shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of  Section 2.04(a). Any such Lender Indemnified Party in its capacity as such or such Related Party acting for such Lender Indemnified Party in connection with its capacity as such shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take any action under any Financing Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse any Lender Indemnified Party in its capacity as such or any Related Party acting for such Lender Indemnified Party in connection with its capacity as such promptly upon demand for such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees and
-194- 

disbursements) incurred by such Lender Indemnified Party or such Related Party in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Financing Documents, to the extent that such Lender Indemnified Party or such Related Party is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.
(d)    Settlements; Appearances in Actions. The Borrower agrees that, without each Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party under this Section 9.03  (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and does not include an admission of fault by such Indemnified Party. In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its legal counsel. In the case of any claim brought against an Indemnified Party for which the Borrower may be responsible under this Section 9.03, the Agents, Issuing Lenders and Lenders agree to execute such instruments and documents and cooperate as reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with the Borrower’s defense, settlement or compromise of such claim, action or proceeding.
Section 9.04    Successors and Assigns. 
(a)Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no assignments shall be made to a Defaulting Lender, and (iii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender or Issuing Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, Issuing Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that,
-195- 

(i)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate (or Approved Fund) of a Lender, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of any Letter of Credit Commitment of any Class, each Issuing Lender with respect to such Class in addition to the Administrative Agent, must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(ii)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate (or Approved Fund) of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment(s), Issuing Commitment(s) or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment(s), Issuing Commitment(s) and Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent and (provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the Borrower otherwise consent (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(iii)prior to the Conversion Date, in connection with such assignment prior to the Conversion Date, the assigning Lender shall assign to the assignee a pro rata amount of such assigning Lender’s (A) “Term Commitment(s)” and “Term Loans” (as defined under the Other Term Credit Agreement) under the Other Term Credit Agreement and (B) “Construction Commitment(s)” and “Construction Loans” (as defined under the Construction Credit Agreement) under the Construction Credit Agreement, in each case, to which such assigning Lender is a party;
(iv)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, the Borrower must give its prior written consent to the assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(v)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,000;
(vi)in the case of an assignment of any Issuing Commitment, the assignee meets the credit rating requirements in respect of such Issuing Commitment; and
(vii)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and documentation and other written information requested by the Administrative Agent under applicable “know your customer” and AML Laws, including the USA PATRIOT Act.
-196- 

provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that (x) no assignment to the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower shall be permitted without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion) and (y) any assignment made in violation of this proviso shall be void ab initio. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of  Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03). To the extent any assignment or transfer increases the Borrower’s obligation to pay costs, Taxes or indemnities pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.15 or 9.03, the Borrower’s liability to pay such costs, Taxes or indemnities shall be limited to the amounts the Borrower would have been liable if such assignment or transfer had not occurred. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section 9.04. 
(c)Maintenance of Register by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Disbursements (and stated interest) owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register, including the Commitments, Loans and Letter of Credit Disbursements of each Issuing Lender and Lender will be provided to the Borrower, any Issuing Lender or any Lender from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.
(d)Effectiveness of Assignments. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
-197- 

(e)Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and (iv) prior to the Conversion Date, in connection with such assignment, the participating Lender shall participate to the Participant a pro rata amount of such participating Lender’s (A) “Term Commitment(s)” and “Term Loans” (as defined under the Other Term Credit Agreement) under the Other Term Credit Agreement and (B) “Construction Commitment(s)” and “Construction Loans” (as defined under the Construction Credit Agreement) under the Construction Credit Agreement, in each case, to which such assigning Lender is a party. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document; provided further that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14  and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. Each Lender that grants a participation acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and interest amount of each Participant’s interest in the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other Obligations under any Financing Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(f)Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs
-198- 

after the Participant acquires the participation. A Participant who is not a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). In addition, if at the time of the sale of such participation, any greater Taxes subject to payment under Section 2.15 would apply to the Participant than applied to the applicable Lender, such Participant shall not be entitled to any payment under Section 2.15 with respect to the portion of such Taxes as exceeds the Taxes applicable to the Lender at the time of the sale of the participation.
(g)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Financing Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank (whether in the United States or any other jurisdiction), and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h)No Assignments to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Parent, the Pledgor, any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any of them, (B) any natural Person or (C) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (C). 
(i)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Outstandings of Borrowings previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Borrowings and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
-199- 

Section 9.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and Issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 8.12, 9.03 and 9.15 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments, the resignation or removal of any Agent or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 9.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 
(a)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. The Financing Documents constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic delivery shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.07    Severability.

-205- 

INCLUDED IN ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM IN CONNECTION WITH WHICH AN AGENT, LENDER OR ISSUING LENDER IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION HEREUNDER.
Section 9.17    Titles. At all times from and after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall not appoint any agents, co-agents or arrangers other than the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Documentation Agents and the Syndication Agents, as such parties are described in this Agreement on the Closing Date. The Borrower agrees that it shall not award any titles in connection with the credit facilities provided for herein (other than those expressly contemplated by the Financing Documents) without the consent of the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 9.18    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. 
(a)To the extent that the Financing Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Permitted Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Financing Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(b)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Financing Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Financing Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

All responsibility for verification of compliance with the Material Project Documents shall rest solely with the Borrower. If applicable, coverage is required for property in transit.

1.1.1.3 earth movement and/or earthquake (as the case may be) with a per occurrence and annual aggregate limit equal to not less than the agreed loss limit, or such other amount agreed to by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3 of this Appendix A, when such limits are shared;

1.1.2 Business Interruption. The Borrower shall also maintain or cause to be maintained business interruption insurance following all perils required and insured under Section 1.1.1 above, including mechanical or electrical breakdown perils, with limits of not less than the projected equivalent of twenty-four (24) months gross revenues (including renewable energy credits, as applicable), less non-continuing expenses for the Project (subject to a maximum of $542,092,000 for the first year of operations). Business interruption may be included as part of an acceptable loss limit agreed to by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.3 of this Appendix A. If coverage is subject to an indemnification period, such period shall not be less than twenty-four (24) months unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders. Contingent business interruption shall also be included for scheduled non-owned assets up to and including for damage to the first non-owned onshore substation as well as non-owned interconnection and transmission facilities between the Project substation and first non-owned onshore substation), on an all-risk basis, with a per occurrence limit equal to the projected equivalent of a twelve (12) months of gross revenue (or its dollar equivalent), less non-continuing expenses (subject to commercial availability) or such other limit agreed to by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.3 of this Appendix A. This coverage shall not include any annual or term aggregate limits of liability or clause requiring the payment of additional premium to reinstate the limits after loss except with regards to insurance applicable to the perils of flood, earthquake, named windstorm (including storm surge) and such other coverages that may typically have aggregate limits and are agreed to by the Administrative Agent under Section 1.1.3 above. The per occurrence deductible or waiting period shall not exceed sixty (60) days, except ninety (90) days for named windstorm (including storm surge) unless approved and agreed to by the Administrative Agent.

To the extent an exposure exists, the Borrower shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, ocean cargo insurance on an all-risk basis (Institutes Cargo Clauses (A) 1/109 or equivalent), subject to standard policy conditions, at any time in which the Borrower has risk of loss or responsibility for the placement of such insurance during shipment of equipment or materials to the Project Site and such insurance is not already provided under Section 1.1.1 or Section 1.1.2 above (as applicable), or under the applicable manufacturer’s, supplier’s, or contractor’s insurance policies for physical loss or damage to such equipment or materials in an amount not less than the replacement cost value of each shipment. Such insurance shall (i) include coverage for war and strikes (subject to a 7-day or 48-hour notice of cancellation as applicable), terrorism, theft, pilferage, nondelivery, charges of general average sacrifice or contribution, salvage expenses, temporary storage in route, consolidation, repackaging, refused and returned shipments, (ii) 50/50 clause, difference in conditions for C.I.F. shipments, unintentional errors and omissions clause, import duty clause, non-vitiation clause (subject only to the survey warranty clause)and (iii) insure for
3

US-DOCS\126197099.3

the replacement cost value of the largest single shipment, plus freight and insurance if coverage is purchased by the Borrower.
The Administrative Agent shall reevaluate the need for marine business interruption insurance (i.e., if the loss of such property being shipped is expected to cause a material interruption of normal business operations) with a limit and associated indemnity period equivalent to the estimated loss of gross revenues (including production tax credits (grossed up for taxes), if any, or other financial incentives, as applicable), less non-continuing expenses for the longest period of interruption reasonably expected to occur, to the extent available on commercially reasonable terms and required by the Administrative Agent.
All such policies may have per occurrence deductibles of not greater than: (a) $1,000,000 for physical damage and (b) sixty (60), except seventy-five (75) days for damage to wind turbine generators days and ninety (90) days for damage to electrical service platform, export cables and named windstorm (including storm surge) for marine business interruption, or as otherwise approved and agreed to by the Administrative Agent.
In the event that primary ocean cargo coverage is provided by a third party for physical damage to Project property and equipment while in transit, the Borrower and/or the Project Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require such third party to include the Project Company and the Collateral Agent (as applicable) as additional insureds and the Project Company as a loss payee with respect to its insurable interests in such Project property and equipment being shipped. In the event that the third party supplier does not provide additional insured status for the Project Company as a loss payee, the Borrower shall procure or cause to be procured on its behalf and on behalf of the Proejct Company difference in conditions (DIC) / difference in limits (DIL) coverage to protect the interests of the Borrower and the Project Company. In addition, when third party ocean cargo insurance is provided for physical damage, the Borrower shall procure or cause to be procured under the same policy or a separate policy, marine business interruption insurance that is in compliance with this Section 1.1.5, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent. Regardless of which method is used to provide marine business interruption insurance, the Borrower, the Project Company and the Collateral Agent (as applicable) shall be the only insureds and the only loss payees on such marine business interruption insurance.
For the avoidance of doubt, ocean cargo and marine business interruption insurance may be provided under the policies required in Sections 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 of this Appendix A. 
1.1.4 Commercial General Liability.

1.6    Other Insurance Requirements. The Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained such insurance in addition to or in lieu of that required by the foregoing provisions of this Appendix A as the Administrative Agent may from time to time require, due to (a) new information coming to the attention of the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date or (b) changed circumstances after the Closing Date, which, in the case of either of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), is reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to render the insurance coverage set forth in this Appendix A materially inadequate. In addition to the other requirements of this Appendix A, the Borrower shall obtain and maintain such other or additional insurance (as to risks covered, policy amounts, policy provisions or otherwise) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time; provided that such other insurance and amounts are then commonly insured against with respect to similar properties in

US-DOCS\126197099.3

similar regions with similar exposures and which are available on commercially reasonable terms.

Detailed summaries of any policies required pursuant to this Appendix A shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent upon request (to the extent available at that time). The summaries shall include the name of the insurance company, policy number, type of insurance, major limits of liability and expiration date of the insurance policies.
1.8    No Duty to Verify Insurance Compliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled, upon reasonable advance notice, to review at the Borrower’s location the Borrower’s books and records regarding all insurance policies (excluding the policies themselves) maintained with respect to the Project and the Borrower’s obligations under this Appendix A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Appendix A or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall impose on the Administrative Agent any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance coverage maintained by the Borrower nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Project Company or any other party to any insurance company or underwriter.
1.9    Waivers of Insurance Requirements. 
(a)    If at any time the Borrower determines in its reasonable judgment (after consultation with the Insurance Advisor) that any insurance (including the limits or deductibles thereof) required to be maintained by this Appendix A is not available on commercially reasonable terms (as defined herein) due to prevailing conditions in the commercial insurance market at such time, then upon the written request of the Borrower together with a written report of the Borrower’s insurance broker or another independent insurance broker of nationally-recognized standing in the insurance industry (i) certifying that such insurance is not available on commercially reasonable terms (and, in any case where the required maximum coverage is not reasonably available, certifying as to the maximum amount which is so available), (ii) explaining in detail the basis for such broker’s conclusions, and (iii) containing such other information as the Administrative Agent or the Insurance Advisor may reasonably request, the Administrative Agent may (after consultation with the Insurance Advisor) temporarily waive such requirement. At any time after the granting of any temporary waiver pursuant to this Section 1.9, but not more than once in any year, the Administrative Agent may request, and the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after such request,
12

an updated insurance report reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower’s independent insurance broker which supports what is achievable in the commercial insurance market. Any waiver granted pursuant to this Appendix A shall expire, without further action by any party, immediately upon (A) such waived insurance requirement becoming available on commercially reasonable terms, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, or (B) failure of the Borrower to deliver an updated insurance report pursuant to clause (ii) above.
If the Borrower is unable to procure insurance at or above the minimum insurance requirements in this schedule, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with information detailing the Borrower’s insurance marketing efforts. The information supplied to the Administrative Agent shall include (i) the insurance markets approached for quotes; (ii) a summary of quoted terms obtained in the insurance market; (iii) all options to increase sublimits to the minimum specified amounts (to the extent fully compliant terms are not initially quoted); (iv) all options to decrease deductibles to the maximums permitted amounts (to the extent fully compliant terms are not initially quoted); (v) all options to remove exclusions or broaden coverage terms to meet the minimum requirements; (v) all declinations including each underwriters’ reasons for such declinations. If the Borrower is unable to procure insurance at or above the minimum insurance requirements in this schedule, the Borrower shall provide any additional information to the Administrative Agent, to the extent available, such that the Administrative Agent may make or cause to make due inquiry. Commercial unavailability must be established in the context of not only the cost of insurance but also the increased risk that would be retained by the Administrative Agent in light of terms offered (or not) including insurance terms that are requested by or on behalf of the Borrower and/or the Project Company and considered by underwriters as unavailable at any cost (i.e. no option offered regardless of premium). The Borrower agrees to make a good faith effort to work with the Administrative Agent to provide coverage at mutually agreed upon terms and conditions if either (a) the requirements are not able to be met due to the conditions of the insurance market or (b) the Administrative Agent provides information that supports a commercially reasonable position that the Borrower may be subject to increased risks that would warrant increased or additional insurance coverage to be procured by the Borrower.
1.10    Additional Requirements. The Borrower shall at all times maintain or cause to be maintained the insurance coverage required to be obtained by the Borrower under the terms of each of the Material Project Documents to which the Borrower is a party.
1.11    Independent Review of the Borrower’s Insurance. The Borrower’s insurance program for the Project shall be independently reviewed every [three (3)] years throughout the term of this Agreement for compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and as outlined in this Appendix A.

4.Term. This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until the earliest of (a) the Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (b) the date on which the Guaranteed Party has delivered to the Guarantor an acknowledgment of termination of the Guaranty in accordance with [Section 3.03(b)(iii)(B)][Section 3.03(h)(ii)(B)] of the Agreement. Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of [the Debt Service Required Amount][the Capacity Deficiency Reserve Amount] is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned due to reorganization, bankruptcy or insolvency laws or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
5.Subrogation. Until all obligations under this Guaranty and the Obligations (under and as defined in the Credit Agreement) are indefeasibly performed in full, Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution and indemnity [from Obligor] with respect to this Guaranty and any collateral held therefor, and Guarantor hereby subordinates all rights under any debts owing from [Obligor][the Guaranteed Party or any Loan Party] to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to the prior payment of the obligations under this Guaranty and the Obligations (under and as defined in the Credit Agreement). This Section 5 shall expressly survive termination of this Guaranty until all obligations under this Guaranty and the Obligations (under and as defined in the Credit Agreement) are fully and finally paid and discharged, expired or terminated.
1.Expenses. Whether or not legal action is instituted, Guarantor agrees to reimburse Guaranteed Party on written demand for all reasonable attorneys' fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Guaranteed Party in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall have no obligation to pay any such costs or expenses if, in any action or proceeding brought by Guaranteed Party giving rise to a demand for payment of such costs or expenses, it is finally adjudicated that the Guarantor is not liable to make payment under Section 2 hereof.
2.Assignment. Guarantor may not assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Guaranty in whole or part without written consent of Guaranteed Party, provided, however, that Guarantor may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Guaranty without the consent of Guaranteed Party if (a) such assignment and delegation is pursuant to the assignment and delegation of all of Guarantor's rights and obligations hereunder, in whatever form Guarantor determines may be appropriate, to a partnership, limited liability company, corporation, trust or other organization in whatever form that succeeds to all or substantially all of Guarantor's assets and business and that assumes such obligations by contract, operation of law or otherwise, provided, such entity
Exhibit E-3

has an Investment Grade Rating by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc. ("S&P") or (b) such assignment and delegation is made to an entity within [the Iberdrola S.A. group] of companies that has an Investment Grade Rating by Moody's and S&P. For purposes of this Section 7, "Investment Grade Rating" means a minimum credit rating for senior unsecured debt or corporate credit rating of at least BBB- or better by S&P and at least Baa3 or better by Moody's. Upon any such delegation and assumption of all of Guarantor's rights and obligations hereunder (including obligations that arose before such assumption) and, if required, the written consent of Guaranteed Party, Guarantor shall be relieved of and fully discharged from such obligations hereunder, whether such obligations arose before or after such delegation and assumption. Guaranteed Party may not assign its rights hereunder except in connection with a permitted assignment of its rights and obligations as Collateral Agent under the Agreement. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Guaranteed Party and its successors and permitted assigns.
8.Non-Waiver. The failure of Guaranteed Party to enforce any provisions of this Guaranty at any time or for any period of time shall not be construed to be a waiver of any such provision or the right thereafter to enforce same. All remedies of Guaranteed Party under this Guaranty shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. The terms and provisions hereof may not be waived, altered, modified or amended except in a writing executed by Guarantor and Guaranteed Party.

ARTICLE II
THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE DEPOSITARY BANK AND THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ACCOUNTS
2.01 Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank. 
(a)    Securities Intermediary. 
(i)    In its capacity as Depositary Bank hereunder, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. hereby agrees to act as “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) with respect to the Accounts and the Financial Assets credited to such Accounts, and, to the extent that any of the Accounts are determined not to be securities accounts, as a “bank”
- 4 -

(within the meaning of 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC) with respect to the Accounts and credit balances not constituting Financial Assets credited thereto, and to accept all cash, payments, Permitted Investments and other amounts to be delivered to or held by the Depositary Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositary Bank shall hold and safeguard the Accounts during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
(ii)    The Borrower shall not have any rights to withdraw or transfer funds from
the Accounts, as third party beneficiary or otherwise, except as otherwise provided herein.
(b)    Accounts Maintained as UCC “Securities Accounts”. The Collateral Agent, the
Depositary Bank and the Borrower hereby agree that: (i) the Depositary Bank has established, in the name of the Borrower, the Accounts as set forth in Section 2.02(a); (ii) subject to the third paragraph of this subsection, each such Account is and will be maintained as a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC); (iii) the Borrower is the sole “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) in respect of the “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC, the “Financial  Assets”) credited to such Accounts; (iv) all Financial Assets in registered form or payable to, or to the order of, and credited to, any such Account shall be registered in the name of, payable to, or to the order of, or specially endorsed to, the Collateral Agent or in blank, or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Depositary Bank; and (v) in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any such Account be registered in the name of, payable to, or to the order of, or endorsed to, the Borrower except to the extent the foregoing have been subsequently endorsed by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent or in blank. Each item of Property (including cash, a security, security entitlement, investment property, instrument or obligation, share, participation, interest or other property whatsoever) credited to any Account shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be treated as a Financial Asset.
Until the Termination Date, the Collateral Agent shall have “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d) or Section 9-104(a) (as applicable) of the UCC) of, and shall be entitled to provide “entitlement orders” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) with respect to, the Accounts and of the Borrower’s “security entitlements” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) with respect to the Financial Assets credited to the Accounts. All Property delivered to the Depositary Bank pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly credited to the applicable Account in accordance with the terms hereof. The Borrower hereby irrevocably directs, and the Depositary Bank (in its capacity as securities intermediary) hereby agrees, that the Depositary Bank will comply with all instructions and orders (including entitlement orders within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) regarding each Account and any Financial Asset therein originated by the Collateral Agent without the further consent of the Borrower or any other Person. In the case of a conflict between any instruction or
- 5 -

order originated by the Collateral Agent and any instruction or order originated by the Borrower or any other Person (other than a court of competent jurisdiction), the instruction or order originated by the Collateral Agent shall prevail. The Depositary Bank shall be permitted to request instructions or directions from the Agents and the Borrower in case of any conflict or ambiguity in the instructions or order provided to it. The Depositary Bank shall not change the name or account number of any Account without at least ten Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, and shall not change the entitlement holder with respect to any Financial Asset credited thereto.
To the extent that any of the Accounts are determined not to be “securities accounts” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC), such Accounts shall be deemed to be “deposit accounts” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC), which the Borrower shall maintain with the Depositary Bank acting as a “bank” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC) pursuant to Section  2.01(a)(i). The Depositary Bank shall credit the Accounts with all receipts of interest, dividends and other income received on the Property held in the Accounts. The Depositary Bank shall administer and manage the Accounts in compliance with all the terms applicable to the Accounts pursuant to this Agreement, and shall be subject to and comply with all the obligations of the Depositary Bank with respect to the Accounts pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositary Bank hereby agrees to comply with any and all instructions originated by the Collateral Agent directing disposition of funds and all other Property in the Accounts without any further consent of the Borrower or any other Person.
(c)Jurisdiction of Depositary. The Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank agree that, for purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other agreement relating to the establishment and operation of the Accounts, the jurisdiction of the Depositary Bank (in its capacity as securities intermediary and as bank) is the State of New York and the laws of the State of New York govern the establishment and operation of the Accounts. As permitted by Article 4 of the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary (the “Hague Convention”), the parties hereto agree that the law of the State of New York shall govern the issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Convention. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentences shall be construed as an amendment to any account agreement governing the Accounts and the parties agree that no further amendment of the provisions of the immediately preceding sentences as so incorporated into any such account agreement may be made without the consent of the Collateral Agent. The Depositary Bank represents that as of the Effective Date, it has an office in the State of New York which is engaged in a business or other regular activity of maintaining securities accounts and deposit accounts.
(d)Degree of Care; Liens. The Depositary Bank shall exercise the same degree of care in administering the funds held in the Accounts and the investments purchased with such funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as the Depositary Bank
- 6 -

exercises in the ordinary course of its day-to-day business in administering other funds and investments for its own account and as required by Applicable Law. The Depositary Bank is not party to and shall not execute and deliver, or otherwise become bound by, any agreement (other than this Agreement) under which the Depositary Bank agrees with any Person other than the Collateral Agent to comply with entitlement orders or instructions originated by such Person relating to any of the Accounts or the security entitlements that are the subject of this Agreement. The Depositary Bank shall not grant any Lien on any Financial Asset (other than any Lien granted under the Security Documents) and shall, if any such Lien shall nevertheless be created as a result of the Depositary Bank’s acts or omissions, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the prompt release or discharge of the same.
(e)Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Depositary Bank has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a Lien over any Account or in any Depositary Collateral, the Depositary Bank agrees that such Lien shall (except to the extent provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.01(e)) be subordinate to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. The Financial Assets standing to the credit of the Accounts will not be subject to deduction, setoff, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Collateral Agent (except to the extent of Depositary Bank’s usual and customary charges and returned items and chargebacks either for uncollected checks or other items of payment and transfers previously credited to one or more of the Accounts including automatic clearinghouse or other electronic entries and later reversed, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason and without regard for the timeliness of return or reversal, and the Borrower and the Collateral Agent hereby authorize the Depositary Bank to debit the applicable Accounts for such amounts).
(f)No Other Agreements. None of the Depositary Bank, the Collateral Agent or the Borrower has entered or will enter into any agreement with respect to any Account or any other Depositary Collateral, other than this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.
(g)Notice of Adverse Claims. The Depositary Bank hereby represents that, except for the claims and interests of the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in the Accounts, the Depositary Bank, as of the Effective Date, has no knowledge of, and has received no notice of, any claim to, or interest in, any Account or in any other Depositary Collateral. If any Person asserts any Lien (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any Account or in any other Depositary Collateral, the Depositary Bank, upon obtaining written notice thereof, will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower thereof.
(h)Reports; Documents. The Depositary Bank shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent access to its on-line bank statements and transaction activities reports with respect to each Account; subject to the Borrower and the
- 7 -

Administrative Agent providing any reasonable information to the Depositary Bank which is needed to establish such Person with access to such on-line system. The Depositary Bank shall also provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent monthly statements identifying transactions, transfers or holdings of the Accounts.
(i)    Receipt of Certain Funds. If Administrative Agent or Depositary Bank receives directly any amount that is unambiguously and discernably payable to an Account (due to such amount not being paid directly to the applicable Account), such Agent (subject to Section 3.04, at the written direction of the Borrower) shall deposit such amount in the applicable Account, and the obligations of the Borrower to deposit such amount into such Account shall be deemed satisfied upon such deposit.
2.02 The Accounts.

As of the Effective Date, the Depositary Bank has established the following interest bearing demand deposit accounts at its offices located in New York bearing the names and account numbers identified in Schedule I (such accounts, collectively, the “Accounts”) each of which shall be maintained at all times by the Depositary Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.11  (unless this Agreement otherwise expressly contemplates closure of such Account on a date other than the date of the termination of this Agreement):

In the event any such account is established for purposes of Section 2.03(i) of the Credit Agreement (as certified in writing to the Depositary Bank by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrower hereby grants a security interest to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders of Letters of Credit of the applicable Class and the Lenders of the applicable Class in any such account established for this purpose and any “financial assets” (as defined in the UCC) or other Property held therein.

(ii)Each Account and all amounts from time to time held in such Account shall be held and maintained by the Depositary Bank for the purposes and on the express terms set out in this Agreement.

(e)    General Standing Instructions. The Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably instruct and authorize the Depositary Bank to deposit funds (promptly upon receipt thereof) into, and transfer and withdraw funds from, the Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

5.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 
(a)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

Borrower shall provide at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of the anticipated Termination Date to the Depositary Bank.

5.17 Electronic Communication. When Depositary Bank acts on any communication (including, but not limited to, communication with respect to the delivery of securities or the wire transfer of funds) sent by electronic transmission, Depositary Bank, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined in a non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, will not be responsible or liable in the event such communication is not an authorized or authentic communication of the party involved or is not in the form the party involved sent or intended to send (whether due to fraud, distortion or otherwise). Depositary Bank will not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from Depositary Bank’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are
- 46 -

inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The party providing such instructions, as the case may be, agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic transmission to submit instructions and directions to Depositary Bank, including without limitation the risk of Depositary Bank acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

SCHEDULE III

Schedule of Disclosures for Depositary Bank Services
Schedule of Fe s for Depositary Bank S rvices
Taxes.    Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Borrower (for purposes of this Schedule, collectively, the “Parties”) shall duly
complete such tax documentation or other procedural formalities necessary for Depositary Bank to complete required tax reporting and for the relevant Party to receive interest or other income without withholding or deduction of tax in any jurisdiction. Should any information supplied in such tax documentation change, the Parties shall promptly notify Depositary Bank. Depositary Bank shall withhold any taxes it deems appropriate in the absence of proper tax documentation or as required by law, including without limitation, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.
Know Your Customer. To assist in the prevention of the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, applicable law may require financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for the Parties: when the Parties open an account, Depositary Bank may ask for each Party’s name, address, date of birth (for natural persons), and/or other information and documents that will allow Depositary Bank to identify such Party. Depositary Bank may also request and obtain certain information from third party vendors regarding any Party. To fulfill Depositary Bank’s “know your customer” responsibilities and in connection with its performance of this Agreement, Depositary Bank may request information and/or documentation from each Party from time to time, including, without limitation, regarding such Party’s organization, business and, to the extent applicable, beneficial owner(s) of such Party, including relevant natural or legal persons, and such Party shall procure and furnish the same to Depositary Bank in a timely manner. Any information and/or documentation furnished by any Party is the sole responsibility of such Party and Depositary Bank is entitled to rely on the information and/or documentation without making any verification whatsoever (except for the authentication under the security procedures, as applicable). Each Party represents and warrants that all such information and/or documentation is true, correct and not misleading and shall advise Depositary Bank promptly of any changes and, except as prohibited by applicable law, such Party agrees to provide complete responses to Depositary Bank’s requests within the timeframes specified. If any Party fails to provide or consent to the provision of any information required by this paragraph, Depositary Bank may suspend or discontinue providing any service hereunder and resign pursuant to this Agreement.
OFAC Disclosure. Depositary Bank is required to act in accordance with the laws and regulations of various jurisdictions relating to the prevention of money laundering and the implementation of sanctions, including but not limited to regulations issued by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control. Depositary Bank is not obligated to execute payment orders or effect any other transaction where the beneficiary or other payee is a person or entity with whom Depositary Bank is prohibited from doing business by any law or regulation applicable to Depositary Bank, or in any case where compliance would, in Depositary Bank’s opinion, conflict with applicable law or banking practice or its own policies and procedures. Where Depositary Bank does not execute a payment order or effect a transaction for such reasons, Depositary Bank may take any action required by any law or regulation applicable to Depositary Bank including, without limitation, freezing or blocking funds. Transaction screening may result in delays in the posting of transactions.
Foreign Exchange. If Depositary Bank accepts a funds transfer instruction under this Agreement for payment in a currency (the “Non-Account Currency”) other than the currency of the account (the “Account Currency”), Depositary Bank is authorized to enter into a foreign exchange transaction to sell to the Party or Parties the amount of Non-Account Currency required to complete the funds transfer and debit the account for the purchase price of the Non-Account Currency. If Depositary Bank receives a payment to the account in a Non-Account Currency, Depositary Bank is authorized to purchase the Non-Account Currency from the Party or Parties, and to credit the purchase price to the account in lieu of the Non-Account Currency. The applicable foreign exchange rate and spread for any of the foregoing transactions shall be determined by Depositary Bank in its sole discretion and may differ from foreign exchange rates and spreads at which comparable transactions are entered into with other customers or the range of foreign exchange rates or spreads at which Depositary Bank otherwise enters into foreign exchange transactions on the relevant date. Depositary Bank may generate additional profit or loss in connection with Depositary Bank’s execution of a foreign exchange transaction or management of its risk related thereto in addition to the applicable spread. Further, (i) Depositary Bank has full discretion to execute such foreign exchange transactions in such manner as Depositary Bank determines in its sole discretion and (ii) Depositary Bank may manage the associated risks of Depositary Bank’s own position in the market in a manner it deems appropriate without regard to the impact of such activities on the Parties. Any such foreign exchange transaction will be between Depositary Bank and a Party or Parties as principals, and Depositary Bank will not be acting as agent or fiduciary for the Parties.
Abandoned Property. Depositary Bank is required to act in accordance with the laws and regulations of various states relating to abandoned property, escheatment or similar law and, accordingly, shall be entitled to remit dormant funds to any state as 

abandoned property in accordance with such laws and regulations. Without limitation of the foregoing, notwithstanding any instruction to the contrary, Depositary
Schedule III to Depositary Agreement

Bank shall not be liable to any Party for any amount disbursed from an account maintained under this Agreement to a governmental entity or public official in compliance with any applicable abandoned property, escheatment or similar law.
Information. The Parties authorize Depositary Bank to disclose information with respect to this Agreement and the account(s) established hereunder, the Parties, or any transaction hereunder if such disclosure is: (i) necessary in Depositary Bank’s opinion, for the purpose of allowing Depositary Bank to perform its duties and to exercise its powers and rights hereunder or for operational or risk management purposes or compliance with legal, tax and regulatory requirements, including, without limitation, FATCA; (ii) to a proposed assignee of the rights of Depositary Bank; (iii) to a branch, affiliate, subsidiary, employee or agent of Depositary Bank or to their auditors, regulators or legal advisers or to any competent court; (iv) to the auditors of any of the Parties; or (v) required by applicable law, regardless of whether the disclosure is made in the country in which each Party resides, in which the Accounts are maintained, or in which the transaction is conducted. The Parties agree that such disclosures by Depositary Bank and its affiliates may be transmitted across national boundaries and through networks, including those owned by third parties.
Acknowledgment of Compensation and Multiple Roles. Depositary Bank is authorized to act under this Agreement notwithstanding that Depositary Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (such subsidiaries and affiliates hereafter individually called an “Affiliate” and collectively called “Affiliates”) may (A) receive fees or derive earnings (float) as a result of providing an investment product or account on the books of Depositary Bank pursuant to this Agreement or for providing services or referrals with respect to investment products, or (B) (i) act in the same transaction in multiple capacities, (ii) engage in other transactions or relationships with the same entities to which Depositary Bank may be providing depositary or other services under this Agreement, (iii) refer clients to an Affiliate for services or (iv) enter into agreements under which referrals of depositary bank or related transactions are provided to Depositary Bank. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. may earn compensation from any of these activities in addition to the fees charged for services under this Agreement.
FDIC Disclosure. In the event Depositary Bank becomes insolvent or enters into receivership, Depositary Bank may provide to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) account balance information for any account governed by this Agreement, as reflected on Depositary Bank’s end-of-day ledger balance, and the customer name and tax identification number associated with such accounts for the purposes of determining the appropriate deposit insurance coverage. Funds held in such accounts will be insured by the FDIC under its applicable rules and limits.
THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED UNDER APPLICABLE U.S. REGULATIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATION D. WHERE SPECIFIC INVESTMENTS ARE NOTED BELOW, THE DISCLOSURES APPLY ONLY TO THOSE INVESTMENTS AND NOT TO ANY OTHER INVESTMENT.
Demand Deposit Account Disclosure. Depositary Bank is authorized, for regulatory reporting and internal accounting purposes, to divide a demand deposit account maintained in the U.S. in which funds governed by this Agreement are held into a non-interest bearing demand deposit internal account and a non-interest bearing savings internal account, and to transfer funds on a daily basis between these internal accounts on Depositary Bank’s general ledger in accordance with U.S. law at no cost to the Parties. Depositary Bank will record the internal accounts and any transfers between them on Depositary Bank’s books and records only. The internal accounts and any transfers between them will not affect funds held hereunder, any investment or disposition of such funds, use of demand deposit accounts or any other activities under this Agreement, except as described herein. Depositary Bank will establish a target balance for the demand deposit internal account, which may change at any time. To the extent funds in the demand deposit internal account exceed the target balance, the excess will be transferred to the savings internal account, unless the maximum number of transfers from the savings internal account for that calendar month or statement cycle has already occurred. If withdrawals from the demand deposit internal account exceeds the available balance in the demand deposit internal account, funds from the savings internal account will be transferred to the demand deposit internal account up to the entire balance of available funds in the savings internal account to cover the shortfall and to replenish any target balance that Depositary Bank has established for the demand deposit internal account. If a sixth transfer is needed during a calendar month or statement cycle, it will be for the entire balance in the savings internal account, and such funds will remain in the demand deposit internal account for the remainder of the calendar month or statement cycle.
MMDA Disclosure and Agreement. If MMDA is the investment for the deposits as set forth above or anytime in the future, the Parties acknowledge and agree that U.S. law limits the number of pre-authorized or automatic transfers or withdrawals or telephonic/electronic instructions that can be made from an MMDA to a total of six (6) per calendar month or statement cycle or 

similar period. Depositary Bank is required by U.S. law to reserve the right to require at least seven (7) days’ notice prior to a withdrawal from a money market deposit account.
Unlawful Internet Gambling. The use of any account to conduct transactions (including, without limitation, the acceptance or receipt of funds through an electronic funds transfer, or by check, draft or similar instrument, or the proceeds of any of the foregoing) that are related, directly or indirectly, to unlawful Internet gambling is strictly prohibited.
Recordings. Each Party and Depositary Bank consent to the other party or parties making and retaining recordings of telephone conversations between any Party or Parties on one hand and Depositary Bank on the other hand in connection with Depositary Bank’s security procedures.

EXHIBIT P
Subordination Terms
Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit P and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit P have the meanings set forth in that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 15, 2021, among Avangrid Vineyard Wind, LLC, as Borrower, the Lenders and Issuing Lenders party thereto from time to time, Banco Santander, S.A., New York Branch, as Administrative Agent, MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent, Banco Santander, S.A., New York Branch, as Green Loan Coordinator and the other persons party thereto from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). The principles of interpretation set forth in Section 1.02 (Terms Generally) of the Credit Agreement shall apply to, and are hereby incorporated by reference in, these Subordination Terms. In addition, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings set out below:
“Senior Parties” shall mean the holders from time to time of the Obligations, including any transferee or assignee of any such holder.
“Subordinated Obligations” shall mean any and all Indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations, whether for principal, interest, premium, fees, costs, expenses, reimbursements, indemnities or other amounts (including any amounts owing in respect of a breach of the representations, warranties or covenants thereunder) in respect of any obligations (including rights of subrogation against any Loan Party obtained under any Transaction Document), now or hereafter owing by any Loan Party to any of its Affiliates, including interest on any amount thereof accruing after the date of any filing by any Loan Party of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings with respect to any Loan Party.
“Subordinated Parties” shall mean the holders from time to time of the Subordinated Obligations, including any transferee or assignee of any such holder.
“Subordination Terms” shall mean the terms of subordination set out in this Exhibit.
1.The Subordinated Obligations are expressly and irrevocably made subordinate, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment and in liquidation to the prior payment in full of the Obligations.
2.The Subordinated Parties may not permit, ask, demand, make any claim for, sue for, accelerate, institute any action or proceeding for, otherwise exercise any remedy for, take, receive or accept from any Loan Party, directly or indirectly, in cash, securities or other property, by purchase or redemption, or by set-off or in any other manner, including, from or by way of collateral, payment of all or any of the subordinated Indebtedness, or otherwise pursue any right or remedy with respect to the subordinated Indebtedness unless and until ninety days after the Termination Date has occurred, whether or not any default shall have occurred under the Obligations and whether or not any amount in respect of the Obligations shall then be due and payable; provided, that the Subordinated Parties may receive, and any Loan Party may pay, principal, interest or other amounts on the subordinated Indebtedness if and to the extent that such payment is permitted pursuant to

each Financing Document (including pursuant to Section 6.07 (Restricted Payments) of the Credit Agreement to be made with amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account). Until ninety days after the Termination Date, the Subordinated Parties shall not take any action to accelerate the maturity under the subordinated Indebtedness or to pursue any rights or remedies under the documents in respect of the subordinated Indebtedness.
3.Any payment or security paid or given by any Loan Party to the Subordinated Parties in connection with the subordinated Indebtedness that is not permitted by the Financing Documents or this Exhibit P shall be deemed to have been received by or on behalf of the Subordinated Parties in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of the Subordinated Parties, and immediately shall be turned over, in the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Subordinated Parties to the Collateral Agent, if requested by the Administrative Agent), for application in reduction of, or as security for, the Obligations or otherwise as the Collateral Agent determines in accordance with or as contemplated by the Security Documents. In the event that the Subordinated Parties fail to take such action requested by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may, as attorney-in-fact for the Subordinated Parties, take such action on behalf of the Subordinated Parties.
No Subordinated Party shall accept or obtain (i) any Lien on any property of any Loan Party as security for any of the subordinated Indebtedness, or (ii) or any guaranty or other claim or right of recourse against any Loan Party or any property of any Loan Party. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subordinated Party shall accept or obtain any Lien on any property of any or all of any Loan Party, such Lien shall be subordinated in all respects to the Liens securing the Obligations, and to the extent any Subordinated Party receives any proceeds on account of such Lien, such Subordinated Party shall hold such proceeds in trust for the Secured Parties and shall immediately remit such proceeds to the Administrative Agent for application to the payment of Obligations until all such Obligations has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
4.These Subordination Terms shall constitute a continuing offer and inducement to all Senior Parties, and are made for the benefit of the Senior Parties, which are obligees hereunder and entitled to enforce their rights hereunder, without any act or notice of acceptance hereof or reliance hereon. These Subordination Terms shall apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents or otherwise.
5.All rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations and the Liens and security interests in or with respect to any property of any Loan Party (including the Liens created under the Security Documents and all rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to any insurance policies or insurance proceeds) are, and shall at all times continue to be superior in all respects to the interests of the Subordinated Parties.
Each Subordinated Party agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may

otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to any collateral securing the Obligations or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law. Each Subordinated Party agrees that it will not (i) challenge or support any other person in challenging the enforceability, validity, priority, perfection or amount of the Obligations or the Liens securing the same, (ii) participate in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding of any Loan Party or any subsidiary, and for avoidance of doubt, shall not file any pleadings or take any positions in any such proceedings, and (iii) shall not take any action that impairs or otherwise interferes with the exercise of any rights or remedies by any Secured Party pursuant to the Financing Documents or applicable law.
6. (a) In any insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law in respect of any Loan Party:
i.the Obligations shall first be paid in full and the discharge of the Obligations shall have occurred before any payment or distribution is made upon the subordinated Indebtedness.
ii.Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the Subordinated Parties or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to herein and give acquittance therefor and to execute and file proofs of claim and other documents and take any other action (including enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of the subordinated Indebtedness) as may be directed in the Credit Agreement, to protect completely the Secured Parties’ interest in the subordinated Indebtedness and their right of enforcement thereof. The Subordinated Parties shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent such powers of attorney, assignments, or other instruments as may be requested, in order to accomplish the foregoing.
iii.No Subordinated Party shall authorize or consent to, accept or adopt any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or relating to any Loan Party thereof that contains any provisions inconsistent with the provisions in this Section 5(a)(i).
(b)    In any of the proceedings referred to in (a), any payment or distribution of any kind or character that may be payable or deliverable in respect of the subordinated Indebtedness shall be paid or delivered directly to the Collateral Agent for application in payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that any such payment or distribution shall be received by the Subordinated Parties before the Obligations are paid in full or provisions satisfactory to the Collateral Agent are made for such payment, any payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the Subordinated Parties shall be held by the Subordinated Parties in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of the Subordinated Parties, and immediately shall be turned over to the Collateral Agent, in the exact form received by the Subordinated Parties (or duly endorsed by the Subordinated Parties to the Collateral Agent, if required) to be applied against the Obligations in

accordance with Section 7.03 (Application of Funds) of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to vote the Subordinated Parties’ claims with respect to the subordinated Indebtedness without regard to the interests of the Subordinated Parties, including to vote the same in connection with any resolution, arrangement, plan of reorganization, compromise, settlement or extension or any other matter which may come before any meeting of creditors of any Loan Party generally or in connection with, or in anticipation of, any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, in such manner as the Senior Parties (or any such agent(s) thereof) shall determine appropriate in their sole discretion.
7. The Subordinated Parties:
i.agree to execute and deliver to the Senior Parties (or such agent(s) thereof as they may from time to time designate in writing) all such further instruments confirming the above authorizations, and all such powers of attorney, proofs of claim, assignments of claim and other instruments, and to take all such other action as may be requested by the Senior Parties (or any such agent(s) thereof) in order to enable the Senior Parties (or any such agent(s) thereof) to enforce all claims upon or in respect of the Subordinated Obligations; and
ii.irrevocably waives all rights it has in its capacity as a holder of Subordinated Obligations in any insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law) to object to, vote against, oppose or otherwise interfere with: (i) any plan of reorganization filed in such case with the support of the Senior Parties or (ii) any motion, stipulation, or complaint filed in such case with the support of the Senior Parties; and
iii.irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Senior Parties (or such agent(s) thereof as they may designate from time to time) on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate these Subordination Terms.
8.    Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be an
express third-party beneficiary of the provisions of these subordination terms that relate to the subordination, forbearance, and any provisions of any Financing Document.
9.

Nothing contained in these Subordination Terms relating to the Subordinated Obligations is intended to or shall:
i.    impair, as among any Loan Party, its creditors other than the Senior Parties, and the
Subordinated Parties, the obligation of any Loan Party, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Subordinated Parties (subject to the rights of the Senior Parties) the Subordinated Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or

ii.affect the relative rights of the Subordinated Parties and creditors of any Loan Party other than the Senior Parties; or
iii.vitiate or otherwise affect the occurrence of a default in respect of the Subordinated Obligations to the extent that any failure to make a payment of any Subordinated Obligation by reason of these Subordination Terms would otherwise constitute such a default; or
iv.prevent any of the Subordinated Parties from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, subject to the rights, if any, of the Senior Parties under these Subordination Terms to receive the cash, property, securities or other assets of any Loan Party received upon the exercise of any such remedy.
10.Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to demand specific performance of these subordination terms, whether or not any Loan Party shall have complied with any of the provisions hereof applicable to it, at any time when the Subordinated Parties shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these subordination terms applicable to them. The Subordinated Parties hereby irrevocably waive any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law or otherwise, which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.
11.No right of any Senior Party to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced, impaired or waived by any act or failure to act on the part of any Loan Party or any Subordinated Party or by any act or failure to act or any delay in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder by any Senior Party, or by any noncompliance by any Loan Party or any Subordinated Party with the terms, provisions and covenants of these Subordination Terms, regardless of any knowledge thereof any Senior Party may have or otherwise be charged with. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Senior Parties or allowed to the Senior Parties by law or other agreements shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or powers that the Senior Parties might otherwise have, and may be exercised by the Senior Parties from time to time.
12.Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the occurrence of any one or more of the following (with or without the consent of or notice to any Subordinated Party), shall not cause any Senior Party to incur any obligation to any Subordinated Party and shall not impair or release the subordination provided in these Subordination Terms or the obligations hereunder of any Subordinated Party to the Senior Parties, even if any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Subordinated Parties is extinguished, affected or impaired thereby:

v.the assignment or transfer of any Senior Party’s rights under or interest in any Obligation; or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any Subordinated Party.
13. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph 12, any Senior Party may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Subordinated Parties, without incurring any obligation to the Subordinated Parties, and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided herein or the obligations hereunder of the Subordinated Parties, do any one or more of the following, even if any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Subordinated Parties is extinguished, affected or impaired thereby:

In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 14, any Subordinated Party shall have received any payment or security prohibited by the provisions of this paragraph  14, including any such payment arising out of the exercise by any Subordinated Party of a right of set-off or counterclaim or any such payment received by reason of other Indebtedness of any Loan Party being subordinated to the Subordinated Obligations, then, and in any such event, the provisions of paragraph 3 above shall apply. The provisions of this paragraph 14 shall not alter the rights of the Senior Parties under the provisions of paragraph 6 hereof or otherwise.

i.convert or exchange any of the subordinated Indebtedness into or for any other indebtedness or equity interest or subordinate, or permit to subordinate, any of the subordinated Indebtedness to any indebtedness of any Loan Party other than the obligations to Secured Parties; or
ii.sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the subordinated Indebtedness, except to any Loan Party.
iii.permit the terms of any of the subordinated Indebtedness to be changed, amended or modified without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent other than any amendment that does not amend, waive or otherwise modify in any manner any of the terms herein applicable to such subordinated Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Subordinated Parties may permit the terms of any subordinated

Indebtedness to be changed from time to time to forgive or cancel any subordinated Indebtedness, extend the maturity of such subordinated Indebtedness, postpone the due date of any payment(s) due thereunder or to reduce the rate of interest on such subordinated Indebtedness.
17.To the extent any payment of Obligations (whether by or on behalf of any Loan Party, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential or is otherwise avoided, set aside or required to be paid to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then, if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar person, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.
Any diminution (whether pursuant to court decree or otherwise, including without limitation for any of the reasons described in the preceding paragraph) of any Loan Party’s obligation to make any distribution or payment pursuant to any Obligations, except to the extent such diminution occurs by reason of the indefeasible repayment (which has not been disgorged or returned) of such Obligations in cash, shall have no force or effect for purposes of the subordination provisions contained in this Exhibit P, with any turnover of payments as otherwise calculated pursuant to this Exhibit P to be made as if no such diminution had occurred.
18.Each Subordinated Party and each Loan Party each hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and these subordination terms and any requirement that the Secured Parties protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other person or entity or any collateral.
19.The obligations of the Subordinated Parties under these Subordination Terms shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment in respect of any Obligations, or any other payment to any Senior Party in its capacity as such, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the holder of such Obligations upon the occurrence of any insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
20.These Subordination Terms shall remain in full force and effect as between the Subordinated Parties and Senior Parties notwithstanding the occurrence of any insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law in respect of any Loan Party affecting any Loan Party.
21.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Subordination Terms or any agreement into which they are incorporated, these Subordination Terms may be waived, modified,

amended or otherwise changed only by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto and all of the Senior Parties.
22.All notices, requests, consents and demands hereunder shall be delivered to the intended recipient in the manner specified in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement or, if such recipient is not party to the Credit Agreement, at the “Address” specified beneath its name on the signature pages to the agreement containing these Subordination Terms or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other
