Provision of Security At least thirty (30) Calendar Days prior to the commencement of the procurement, installation, or construction of a discrete portion of a Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities, Developer shall provide Connecting Transmission Owner, at Developer’s option, a guarantee, a surety bond, letter of credit or other form of security that is reasonably acceptable to Connecting Transmission Owner and is consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction identified in Article 14.2.1 of this Agreement. Such security for payment shall be in an amount sufficient to cover the cost for the Developer’s share of constructing, procuring and installing the applicable portion of Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities, and shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis for payments made to Connecting Transmission Owner for these purposes. In addition:
11.5.1 The guarantee must be made by an entity that meets the commercially reasonable creditworthiness requirements of Connecting Transmission Owner, and contains terms and conditions that guarantee payment of any amount that may be due from Developer, up to an agreed-to maximum amount.
11.5.2 The letter of credit must be issued by a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Connecting Transmission Owner and must specify a reasonable expiration date.
11.5.3 The surety bond must be issued by an insurer reasonably acceptable to Connecting Transmission Owner and must specify a reasonable expiration date.
11.5.4 Attachment S to the NYISO OATT shall govern the Security that Developer provides for System Upgrade Facilities and System Deliverability Upgrades.
Application of Section 409A Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following provisions apply to the extent severance benefits provided herein are subject to Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”). Severance benefits shall not commence until Executive has a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A. If Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, any installment payments of Disability Base Salary Payments pursuant to Section 6.3(b) or Cash Compensation Amounts pursuant to Section 6.5(b) or 6.6(b) that are triggered by a separation from service shall be accelerated to the minimum extent necessary so that (a) the lesser of (y) the total cash severance payment amount, or (z) six (6) months of such installment payments are paid no later than March 15 of the calendar year following such termination, and (b) all amounts paid pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) will constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and thus will be payable pursuant to the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. It is intended that if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of such separation from service the foregoing provision shall result in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code because payments to Executive will either be payable pursuant to the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations or will not be paid until at least 6 months after separation from service. The severance benefits are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A or comply with its requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly.
Provision of Services (a) The HSP will provide the Services in accordance with, and otherwise comply with:
(1) the terms of this Agreement;
(2) Applicable Law; and
Preservation of Security 6.1. It is hereby agreed and declared that:
6.1.1. the security created by this Charge shall be held by the Chargee as a continuing security for the payment and discharge of the Secured Obligations and the security so created shall not be satisfied by any intermediate payment or satisfaction of any part of the Secured Obligations;
6.1.2. the security created by this Charge is in addition to and independent of and shall not prejudice or merge with any other security (or any right of set-off) which the Chargee may hold at any time for the Secured Obligations or any of them;
6.1.3. the Chargee shall not be bound to seek to recover any amounts due from the Chargor or any other person, exercise any rights against the Chargor or any other person or enforce any other security before enforcing the security created by this Charge;
6.1.4. no delay or omission on the part of the Chargee in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Charge shall impair such right, power or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies provided by law and may be exercised from time to time and as often as the Chargee may deem expedient; and
6.1.5. any waiver by the Chargee of any terms of this Charge shall only be effective if given in writing and then only against the Chargee and for the purpose and upon the terms for which it is given.
6.2. Where any discharge is made in whole or in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be repaid on bankruptcy, liquidation, by virtue of Section 1001 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 or otherwise without limitation, this Charge shall continue in force as if there had been no such discharge or arrangement. The Chargee shall be entitled to concede or compromise in good faith any claim that any such payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or repayment.
6.3. Until the Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably satisfied and discharged in full to the satisfaction of the Chargee or as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement, the Chargee may at any time keep in a separate account or accounts (without liability to pay interest thereon) in the name of the Chargee for as long as the Chargee may think fit, any moneys received recovered or realised under this Charge or under any other guarantee, security or agreement relating in whole or in part to the Secured Obligations without being under any intermediate obligation to apply the same or any part thereof in or towards the discharge of such amount.
Execution of Securities The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Issuer by the chairman of the Board of Directors, the president, any vice president or the treasurer of the Issuer, under its corporate seal which may, but need not, be attested by its secretary or one of its assistant secretaries. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such officers. The seal of the Issuer may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. In case any officer of the Issuer who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Security so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Security had not ceased to be such officer of the Issuer; and any Security may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security, shall be the proper officers of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer.
Authorization of Securities The Securities to be sold by the Company under this Agreement have been duly authorized for issuance and sale to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement against payment of the consideration set forth herein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; no holder of the Securities is or will be subject to personal liability by reason of being such a holder; and the issuance and sale of the Securities to be sold by the Company under this Agreement are not subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company or any other person.
Creation of Security (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purpose of financing the Facility, the Company may assign to, or grant a security interest in favor of, the Lenders in its rights and interests under or pursuant to: (i) this Agreement, (ii) any agreement or document included in the Security Package, (iii) the Facility, (iv) the movable, immovable and intellectual property of the Company, and (vi) the revenues or any of the rights or assets of the Company. The Company shall not create any security over its rights and interests under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the GOB except as already provided above.
(b) The Lenders shall have no obligation to the GOB under this Agreement until such time as the Lenders or their designees succeed to the Company’s interest under this Agreement, whether by exercise of their rights or remedies under the Financing Documents or otherwise, in which case the Lenders or their designees shall give written notice of such succession (a “Succession Notice”) to the GOB and assume liability for all of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation payment of any amounts due and owing to the GOB for payment defaults by the Company under this Agreement (other than, so long as the liability insurance required by Section 6.5 has been and is in effect), damages or penalties incurred by the Company under Section 6.2(b), arising during the period prior to the Lenders’ or such designees’ succession to the Company’s interest in and under this Agreement, provided that any liability of the Lenders or their designees shall be strictly limited to the Lenders’ interest in the Facility. Except as otherwise set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, none of the Lenders or their designees shall be liable for the performance or observance of any of the obligations or duties of the Company under this Agreement, nor shall the assignment by the Company of this Agreement to the Lenders give rise to any duties or obligations whatsoever on the part of any of the Lenders owing to the GOB. Upon notification by the Lenders or the Agent to the GOB of the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the Financing Documents and the succession of the Lenders to the Company’s interests in and under this Agreement, the Lenders shall have the right, among others, to: (i) take possession of the Facility and, prior to the Commercial Operations Date, complete construction of the Facility and operate the same and, after the Commercial Operations Date, operate the same; and (ii) cure any continuing Company Event of Default under this Agreement as provided in Section 13.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the delivery of a Succession Notice, the Lenders shall have no obligation to cure any Company Event of Default occurring before the delivery of such Succession Notice that is not capable of being cured and no right will exist for the GOB to terminate this Agreement based upon such Company Events of Default occurring prior to the delivery of the Lenders’ Succession Notice. Without the requirement of obtaining any further consent from the GOB, upon the exercise by the Lenders or their designees of any of the remedies set forth in the Financing Documents, the Lenders may assign their rights and interests and the rights of the Company under this Agreement to a Transferee acceptable to the GOB so long as such Transferee shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. Upon such assignment and assumption, the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations under this Agreement arising after such assignment and assumptions.
(c) As used herein, a “Transferee” shall be a person who (i) is a company organized under the Laws of Bangladesh, (ii) either is an experienced and qualified power plant operator or who shall have agreed to engage the services of a person who is an experienced and qualified power plant operator, (iii) shall have paid all amounts, if any, then due and payable to the GOB under this Agreement, and (iv) shall have expressly assumed in writing for the benefit of the GOB the ongoing obligations of the Company under this Agreement (including the obligation of the Company to maintain and operate the Facility in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement).
(d) At the request of the Company, delivered to the GOB not less than 30 (thirty) Days in advance, the GOB shall execute and deliver at the Financial Closing, all such acknowledgements to the Lenders or their designees of any security created in accordance with this Section 9 as are reasonably requested by the Company and the Lenders to give effect to the foregoing.

Reservation of Securities The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents. In the event that at any time the then authorized shares of Common Stock are insufficient for the Company to satisfy its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall promptly take such actions as may be required to increase the number of authorized shares.
Application of Section 409A of the Code (a) This Agreement shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”). If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions under section 409A of the Code, then such benefit or payment shall be provided in full (to extent not paid in part at earlier date) at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions shall not be imposed. For purposes of section 409A of the Code, all payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon the Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of such term under section 409A of the Code), each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment, and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. In no event shall the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the fiscal year of payment, except as permitted under section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to amounts under this Agreement are nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, in no event shall the timing of the Executive’s execution of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in the Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the Release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, the Company has securities which are publicly traded on an established securities market and the Executive is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in section 409A of the Code) and it is necessary to postpone the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable under this Agreement as a result of such termination of employment to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under section 409A of the Code, then the Company shall postpone the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Executive) that are not otherwise paid first within the ‘short-term deferral exception’ under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4), and then under the ‘separation pay exception’ under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), until the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is 6 months following the Executive’s “separation of service” (as such term is defined under code section 409A of the Code) with the Company. If any payments are postponed due to such requirements, such postponed amounts shall be paid in a lump sum to the Executive on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is 6 months following Executive’s separation of service with the Company. If the Executive dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate within 60 days after the date of the Executive’s death.
(c) All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement shall be for expenses incurred during the Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
