AGREEMENT

In consideration of the agreements herein and in the other Financing Documents and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and therein, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.

DEFINITIONS

1.1 Definitions.

Except as otherwise expressly provided, capitalized terms used in this Financing Agreement and its exhibits shall have the meanings given in Exhibit A.

1.2 Rules of Interpretation.

Except as otherwise expressly provided, the rules of interpretation set forth in Exhibit A shall apply to this Financing Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

ARTICLE 2.

THE LOAN FACILITY

2.1 Loan Facility.

(a) Availability.

(i) Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Financing Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make to Borrower one or more loans as Borrower may request during the Availability Period under Section 2.5 (individually, a “Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Term Loans”), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Total Term Loan Commitment. Borrower may request Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans, in each case, pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.5. Each Lender shall make its Term Loan, in an amount not in excess of its Total Term Loan Commitment, pursuant to Section 3.1(c).

(ii) Bridge Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Financing Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make to Borrower

one or more loans as Borrower may request during the Availability Period under Section 2.5 (individually, a “Bridge Loan” and, collectively, the “Bridge Loans”), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Total Bridge Loan Commitment. Borrower may request Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans, in each case, pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.5. Each Lender shall make its Bridge Loan, in an amount not in excess of its Total Bridge Loan Commitment, pursuant to Section 3.1(c).

(b) Interest Provisions.

(i) Interest Rate. Each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date of the funding of such Loan until the repayment or prepayment thereof at a rate determined by reference to the LIBO Rate or Base Rate, as applicable. In respect of Term Loans and Bridge Loans, the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any LIBO Rate Loan shall be selected by Borrower initially at the time the Notice of Borrowing is given with respect to such LIBO Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.5, and, thereafter, the basis for determining the interest rate with respect to such LIBO Rate Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to Section 2.1(c).

Borrower shall pay interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of an insolvency proceeding under applicable Bankruptcy Law) on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBO Rate Loan from the date of the funding of such LIBO Rate Loan until the repayment or prepayment thereof, at a rate per annum in effect during each Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Loan, equal to the LIBO Rate for the relevant Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. Borrower shall pay interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of an insolvency proceeding under applicable Bankruptcy Law) on the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of the funding of such Base Rate Loan until the repayment or prepayment thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect during such period plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin. In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Default Rate shall apply to all then outstanding Loans and shall be payable on demand or otherwise pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(ii).

(ii) Interest Payment Dates. Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each outstanding Loan (a) on each Payment Date and (b) upon prepayment (to the extent thereof) and at maturity of each Loan (each an “Interest Payment Date”).

(i) Solely with respect to Term Loans and Bridge Loans and in connection with each LIBO Rate Loan, Borrower shall, pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing or a Confirmation of Interest Period Selection select an Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBO Rate Loans, which Interest Periods shall be a six (6) month period ending in each case on a Payment Date or, solely with respect to the initial LIBO Rate Loans, any shorter Interest Period ending on the first Payment Date, as requested by Borrower and approved by Administrative Agent (any such period, an “Interest Period”); provided, however, that (1) with the exception of any shorter Interest Period ending on the first Payment Date, the selection of any Interest Period other than the six (6) month Interest Period shall be subject to availability of such Interest Period from each Lender; (2) any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day; (3) any Interest Period which begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of a calendar month; and (4) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity Date or Bridge Loan Maturity Date, as applicable. If Borrower fails to notify Administrative Agent of the next Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Loan in accordance with this Section 2.1(c)(i), such Term Loan or Bridge Loan, as applicable, shall automatically continue as a new LIBO Rate Loan with the same Interest Period as such prior LIBO Rate Loan; provided, however, that in the event that the Interest Period of such new LIBO Rate Loan would extend beyond the applicable Maturity Date, then such Loan shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

(d) Interest Account and Interest Computations. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to record in an account or accounts maintained by Administrative Agent on its books (1) the interest rates applicable to all Loans and the effective dates of all changes thereto; (2) the Interest Period for each LIBO Rate Loan; (3) the date and amount of each principal and interest payment on each outstanding Loan; and (4) such other information as Administrative Agent may determine is necessary for the computation of interest payable by Borrower hereunder consistent with this Financing Agreement. Borrower agrees that all computations of interest made by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Borrower, deliver to Borrower a statement detailing such computations of interest. All computations of interest on LIBO Rate Loans shall be based upon a year of 360 days and the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day of the applicable Interest Period). All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans hereunder shall be based upon a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and the actual days

elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day of the applicable interest period).

(e) Principal Payments. On each Payment Date, Borrower shall repay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, an amount equal to the Scheduled Repayment Amount for such Payment Date. Any unpaid principal, interest, fees, costs and all other Obligations with respect to the Loans shall be due and payable on the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, LC Loan Maturity Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the principal amount of the Loans to be repaid by Borrower on any Payment Date exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding.

(f) Promissory Notes. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans made by each Lender and to pay all interest thereon at the rates provided herein and all other Obligations with respect to such Loans under this Financing Agreement shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 (individually, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”), each payable to the order of such Lender and in the principal amount of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of Loans requested to be made as of the Closing Date. Such Notes shall be duly executed by Borrower and delivered to each Lender on or prior to the Closing Date.

2.2 Letters of Credit.

(a) Issuance and Availability.

(i) O&M Reserve LC. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Financing Agreement, the Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to issue on the Closing Date, the O&M Reserve LC for the account of Borrower and in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) as beneficiary in support of O&M Costs.

(ii) Debt Service Reserve LC. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Financing Agreement, Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to issue on the Closing Date, the Debt Service Reserve LC for the account of Borrower and in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) as beneficiary in support of the Debt Service Reserve Requirement.

(iii) Energy Hedge LCs and REC Contract LCs. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Financing Agreement, Issuing Bank

Each Energy Hedge LC shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q-1. Each REC Contract LC shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q-2.

(iv) Working Capital LCs. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Financing Agreement, Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to issue, during the LC Issuance Period, one or more Working Capital LCs for the account of Borrower and in favor of the applicable counterparty under the applicable Project Documents. Each Working Capital LC shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R.

(b) Letter of Credit Commitments and Adjustments.

(i) The Total LC Commitment shall be a separate revolving working capital facility provided by Issuing Bank and its participants and permitted assignees pursuant to Sections 12.14 and 12.15 of the Financing Agreement, respectively, as Lender in respect of any LC Loans, and the issuance of the Letters of Credit shall be deemed to reduce, in an amount equal to the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit, the Available LC Commitment.

(ii) Any Drawing Payment with respect to the O&M Reserve LC shall reduce the available Stated Amount thereof pursuant to this Financing Agreement and the Total LC Commitment applicable thereto shall be reduced, each in an amount equal to such Drawing Payment. Any Drawing Payment with respect to the Debt Service Reserve LC shall reduce the available Stated Amount thereof pursuant to this Financing Agreement and the Total LC Commitment applicable thereto shall be reduced, each in an amount equal to such Drawing Payment. Any Drawing Payment with respect to any Hedge LC shall reduce the available Stated Amount thereof pursuant to this Financing Agreement and the Total LC Commitment applicable thereto shall be reduced, each in an amount equal to such Drawing Payment. Any Drawing Payment with respect to any Working Capital LC shall reduce the available Stated Amount thereof pursuant to this Financing Agreement and the Total LC Commitment applicable thereto shall be reduced, each in an amount equal to such Drawing Payment.

(iii) Subject to Section 2.2(b)(iv), the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit may, upon request by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(c), be reinstated to its original Stated Amount; provided, that (A) the applicable Reimbursement Obligation or LC Loan is paid in full; (B) no Inchoate Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (C) each

representation and warranty set forth in Article 6 shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date (unless such representation or warranty relates solely to an earlier date, in which case it shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); and (D) all applicable terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Letter of Credit are satisfied in accordance therewith.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Financing Agreement, the sum of the Stated Amounts of any Letters of Credit issued, or requested but not yet issued, hereunder at any time, any Reimbursement Obligations remaining unpaid at any time and LC Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Total LC Commitment.

(c) Notice of LC Activity. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Financing Agreement (including the satisfaction of the requirements in Section 2.2(b)) and so long as no Inchoate Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall request (x) the issuance or extension of any Letter of Credit, or (y) any reinstatement, increase or decrease in the Stated Amount thereof, in each case, by delivering to Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank an irrevocable written notice in the form of Exhibit S, appropriately completed (a “Notice of LC Activity”), which specifies, among other things:

(i) the particulars of any Letters of Credit to be issued, extended or amended, including the then-current Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit (which shall not exceed the then Available LC Commitment applicable to such Letters of Credit); and

(ii) with respect to any Hedge LC or Working Capital LC, if a reinstatement, increase or decrease to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit is requested, the amount by which such Stated Amount is to be reinstated, increased or decreased, as applicable.

In the case of any Hedge LC or Working Capital LC, Borrower shall deliver the Notice of LC Activity to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Issuing Bank) at least five (5) Business Days before the date of issuance, reinstatement, increase or decrease of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Upon the adjustment date specified in such Notice of LC Activity, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Financing Agreement, Issuing Bank shall, by amendment or adjustment to the Letter of Credit, adjust the Stated Amount thereof to reflect the change specified in such Notice of LC Activity. From the effective date of any such adjustment, the LC Fees payable pursuant to Section 3.3(e) shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Amount as so adjusted.

Without limiting the foregoing, Issuing Bank may accept any document that appears on its face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation. Borrower hereby waives any right to object to any payment made under any Letter of Credit with regard to a drawing that is in the form provided in such Letter of Credit but which varies with respect to punctuation (except punctuation with respect to any Dollar amount specified therein), capitalization, spelling or similar administrative matters of form that do not change meaning.

Any and all payments to or for the benefit of any Lender or the Issuing Bank by Borrower hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction, setoff or counterclaim of any kind whatsoever and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments, after deduction for or on account of liabilities of any Lender or the Issuing Bank with respect to any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings arising from or relating to such Lender’s (or the Issuing Bank’s) Loans made under this Financing Agreement, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by the income or capital of any Lender or the Issuing Bank by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of a connection between such Lender or the Issuing Bank and such jurisdiction or political subdivision, other than a connection resulting solely from executing, delivering or performing its obligations or receiving a payment under, or enforcing, this Financing Agreement or any Note, (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which such Lender or the Issuing Bank is located, or (iii) any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to any Lender or the Issuing Bank that is attributable to such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with Section 3.4(e) or to the inaccuracy of any certification made pursuant to Section 3.4(e) unless such inaccuracy arose as the result of a change in applicable law or the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority after the date such certification was made (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”), shall be not less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Financing Agreement and the other Financing Documents. If Borrower shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof from or

in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Financing Document to any Lender or the Issuing Bank, and if such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have complied with its obligations set forth in Section 3.4(e), (A) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.4(d)), such Lender or the Issuing Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (B) Borrower shall make such deductions; and (C) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. If Borrower shall make any payment under this Section 3.4(d) to or for the benefit of any Lender or the Issuing Bank with respect to Taxes and if such Lender or the Issuing Bank determines in its discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received the benefit of any credit or deduction for such Taxes, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to the amount of such credit or deduction actually received by the Lender or the Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the aggregate amount payable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed the aggregate amount previously paid by Borrower with respect to such Taxes. In addition, and without duplication of other taxes or charges addressed herein, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise under the laws of the United States of America or the State of New York from any payment made hereunder or under any other Financing Document or from the execution or delivery or otherwise with respect to this Financing Agreement or any other Financing Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(ii) Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Issuing Bank for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.4(d)) arising from the execution, delivery or performance of its obligations or from receiving a payment hereunder, or enforcing this Financing Agreement or any Financing Document, paid by any Lender or the Issuing Bank, or any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable and reasonably documented expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Lender or the Issuing Bank for any penalties, interest or expenses relating to Taxes or Other Taxes arising from the indemnitee’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or unexcused breach of this Financing Agreement as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to give notice to Borrower of the assertion of any claim against such Lender or the Issuing Bank relating to such Taxes or Other Taxes as promptly as is practicable, and in no event later than ten (10) days prior to

the final expiration of any period available to such Lender or the Issuing Bank under applicable law for challenging such a claim; provided, however, that any Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s failure to notify Borrower within such period shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 3.4(d) with respect to claims arising prior to such time as Borrower receives notice from the indemnitee as provided herein, but shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 3.4(d) with respect to interest and penalties between the end of the period and such time as Borrower receives notice from such Lender or the Issuing Bank as provided herein. Payments by Borrower pursuant to this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender or the Issuing Bank makes written demand therefor (submitted through Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by documentation establishing, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation thereof and certifying that the method used to calculate such amount is fair and reasonable. Following a written request by Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the basis therefor, each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees either (i) in good faith to contest Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which such Lender or the Issuing Bank has received an indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 3.4(d)(ii), or (ii) to permit Borrower to contest such Taxes or Other Taxes if such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s permission would be required and to cooperate with Borrower in such contest, in each case at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, provided that nothing in the foregoing sentence shall oblige such Lender or the Issuing Bank to disclose to Borrower its tax returns or other information it reasonably considers to be confidential or proprietary or to take other actions that in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or the Issuing Bank would be adverse to its commercial interests. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to repay to Borrower any refund (including that portion of any interest that was included as part of such refund with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.4(d)), as soon as commercially practicable after receipt of such refund, received by such Lender or the Issuing Bank for Taxes or Other Taxes that were paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.4(d).

(iii) Notice. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at the address referred to in Section 14.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, a certified copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, in either instance, certified by an Authorized Officer of Borrower. Administrative Agent shall promptly provide a copy of such receipt, return or other evidence of payment to each Lender and the Issuing Bank. Borrower shall compensate Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and each Lender for all reasonable losses and expenses sustained by Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender, as the case may be, as a result of any failure by Borrower to so

furnish the original or certified copy of such receipt, return or other evidence of payment.

(iv) Survival of Obligations. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 3.4(d) shall survive the termination of this Financing Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations for a period of two (2) years.

(e) Withholding Exemption Certificates. Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date, and each Lender, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, and each Person to which any Lender grants a participation (or otherwise transfers its interest in this Financing Agreement), agrees that it will deliver, as soon as commercially practicable, to Borrower and Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent agrees that it will promptly deliver to Borrower) (i) in the case of Administrative Agent, Form W-8IMY (together with any withholding statement required by applicable law) in respect of amounts to be received for or on account of the Lenders and Form W-8ECI in respect of amounts to be received for its own account, each duly completed; (ii) in the case of a Lender or Person that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), a copy of a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, duly completed; or (iii) in the case of a Lender or Person that is not a United States person, a duly completed and executed letter in the form of Exhibit X-0, Xxxxxxx X-0 or Exhibit L-3 (Forms of “Withholding Certificate (Treaty)”, “Withholding Certificate (Effectively Connected)” and “Withholding Certificate (Portfolio Interest)”) as appropriate, and two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that Administrative Agent or Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Financing Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income or withholding taxes and including, in each case, a U.S. taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) if required by such form or otherwise necessary to obtain the benefits being claimed. Each Lender which delivers to Borrower and Administrative Agent a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower and to Administrative Agent further copies of the said letter and Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification or procedure, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires or becomes obsolete or within a reasonable time after gaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter and forms previously delivered by it to Borrower and Administrative Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Financing Agreement and the other Financing Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income or withholding taxes, unless a change in applicable law or the

interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required, which change renders all such forms inapplicable or which change would prevent a Lender from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such Lender advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income or withholding tax. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States Federal income tax pursuant to Section 3.4(d) (or make an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 3.4(d)) to any Lender (including any Person to which any Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Financing Agreement) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts (or such indemnification) would not have arisen but for a failure of such Lender to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.4(e). In the event that any Lender fails or is unable to satisfy the provisions of this Section 3.4(e), Borrower, Administrative Agent and such Lender shall cooperate to find another Person to be substituted for such Lender in the manner provided in Section 12.13 hereof.

3.5 Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) Borrowing, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in this Financing Agreement, (i) each Loan and each reduction of the applicable Commitments shall be made or allocated among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares of such Loans or Commitments and (ii) each payment of principal of and interest on Loans shall be made or shared among the Lenders holding such Loans pro rata according to the Proportionate Shares of such Loans.

(b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank (a “Benefited Lender”) shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Loans (or interest thereon) owed to it, other than pursuant to Sections 3.6(a) or (b), in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of such Loans obtained by all Lenders entitled to such payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; and if after taking into account such participations the Benefited Lender continues to have access to additional funds of Borrower for application on account of its debt, then the Benefited Lender shall use such funds to reduce indebtedness of Borrower under the Financing Documents held by it and share such payments with the other Lenders; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from such Lender shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required

repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 3.5(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation; provided that Borrower shall have no liability to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder to the extent that it has made all payments to the Lenders, Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent required to be made by Borrower hereunder.

3.6 Change of Circumstances.

(a) Inability to Determine Rates. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Loan (i) Administrative Agent determines that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period with respect to the LIBO Rate Loans cannot be adequately and reasonably determined due to the unavailability of funds in or other circumstances affecting the London interbank market (in respect of a change of circumstances compared to the totality of the circumstances that existed on the Closing Date), or (ii) Lenders holding in the aggregate at least 33.33% of the then outstanding and unpaid principal amount of LIBO Rate Loans shall advise Administrative Agent that (x) the rates of interest for such LIBO Rate Loans do not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining or continuing such LIBO Rate Loans (compared to the totality of the circumstances that existed on the Closing Date) or (y) deposits in Dollars in the London interbank market are not available to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by each such Lender in good faith in writing to Administrative Agent and to Borrower) in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to maintain or continue their LIBO Rate Loans, then Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice of such condition to Borrower (the “Notice of Inability to Determine Rates”). After the giving of any such Notice of Inability to Determine Rates and until Administrative Agent shall otherwise notify Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such condition no longer exist, Borrower’s right to request the continuation of LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended. Any Loan outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Loans into Base Rate Loans. Loans converted into Base Rate Loans shall accrue interest at the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate then in effect plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin. All computations with respect to such Base Rate Loan shall be made as set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.1(d).

(b) Illegality. If, after the date of this Financing Agreement, the adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a result of amendment, or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender or Borrower with any

request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (a “Change of Law”) shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to maintain or continue any LIBO Rate Loan, such Lender shall immediately notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of such Change of Law (“Notice of Change of Law”). Upon receipt of such notice (i) Borrower’s right to request the continuation of LIBO Rate Loans and the obligations of Lenders to maintain or continue LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended for so long as such condition shall exist; and (ii) Borrower shall, at the request of such Lender, either (y) immediately repay such Loans pursuant to Section 3.2 or (z) convert such outstanding Loans into Base Rate Loans, if such Lender shall notify Borrower that such Lender may not lawfully maintain or continue such Loans. Any conversion or prepayment of Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Section 3.7. Upon the giving of any such Notice of Change of Law, such Base Rate Loans shall accrue interest equal to the Base Rate then in effect plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin. All computations with respect to such Base Rate Loans shall be made as set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.1(d).

(i) shall, without duplication with amounts payable under Section 3.4(d), subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Loan, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments by Borrower to any Lender on such a Loan (except for Taxes, Other Taxes, or changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of any Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or require any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any modification of a Reserve Requirement) against assets held by, deposits in or other liabilities for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any Lender for any Loan; or

(iii) shall impose on any Lender any other requirement directly related to any Loan;

and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of renewing, participating in or maintaining any such Loan or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder or under the Notes; then Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by Administrative Agent (accompanied by a certificate from such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts and the basis for determination of such amount), pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts. Thereafter, Borrower may replace any such Lender so affected pursuant to Section 12.13.

(d) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that (i) any Change of Law after the date of this Financing Agreement increases the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or the Lending Office of such Lender (a “Capital Adequacy Requirement”) and (ii) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Lending Office which is attributable to, or based upon, the Loans, or this Financing Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender or such Person, upon demand of Administrative Agent (accompanied by a certificate from such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any such increased costs), such amounts as such Lender or such Person shall reasonably determine are necessary to compensate such Lender or such Person for such reasonably increased costs to such Lender or Person of such increased capital. Thereafter, Borrower may replace any such Lender so affected pursuant to Section 12.13.

(e) Notice. Each Lender will notify Administrative Agent of any event occurring after the date of this Financing Agreement that will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.6, as promptly as is practicable and in no event later than 120 days after the principal officer or other representative of such Lender responsible for administering this Financing Agreement obtains knowledge thereof, and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower of such event; provided that any Lender’s failure to notify Administrative Agent within such 120-day period shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 3.6 with respect to claims arising prior to such time as Borrower receives notice as provided herein but shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 3.6 with respect to interest and penalties between the end of such 120-day period and such time as Borrower receives notice from such Lender as provided herein. No Person purchasing from a Lender a participation in any Loan shall be entitled to any payment from or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section 3.6(c) or 3.6(d) which would be in excess of the applicable proportionate amount (based on the portion of the Loan in which such Person is participating) which would then be payable to such Lender if such Lender had not sold a participation in that portion of the Loan.

3.7 Funding Losses.

If Borrower shall (a) repay or prepay any Loans on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans (whether an Optional Prepayment or a Mandatory Prepayment); (b) fail to borrow any Loans in accordance with the Notice of Borrowing delivered to Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise other than a default by a Lender); or (c) fail to make any prepayment of any Loan in accordance with any notice of prepayment delivered to Administrative Agent; then Borrower shall, upon demand by any Lender, reimburse such Lender (by payment to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender) for all documented and reasonable costs and losses incurred by such Lender as a result of such repayment, prepayment or failure (but such costs and losses shall not include any compensation for lost profit or lost opportunity) (“Liquidation Costs”) together

with any Interest Fix Fees. Borrower understands that such Liquidation Costs may include losses incurred by a Lender as a result of funding and other contracts entered into by such Lender to fund Loans. Each Lender demanding payment under this Section 3.7 shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and amount of costs and losses for which demand is made, and Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such certificate to Borrower.

3.8 Alternate Office; Minimization of Costs.

(a) To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternative Lending Office with respect to its Loans and otherwise take any reasonable actions to reduce any liability of Borrower to such Lender under Section 3.4(d), 3.6(c) or 3.6(d), or to avoid the unavailability of Loans or the determination of the interest rate under Section 3.6(a) or Section 3.6(b) so long as such Lender, in its sole discretion, determines that such designation is not materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) Any Lender may designate a Lending Office other than that set forth on Exhibit I and may assign all of its interests under the Financing Documents, and its Notes, to such Lending Office, provided that such designation and assignment do not at the time of such designation and assignment increase the reasonably foreseeable liability of Borrower under Sections 3.4(d), 3.6(c), or 3.6(d) or make Loans or an interest rate option unavailable pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or Section 3.6(b).

(c) Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any additional costs, taxes, expense or obligation which might otherwise be imposed on Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.4(d), 3.6(c) or 3.6(d) or as a result of such Lender being subject to a Reserve Requirement or to avoid the unavailability of Loans or the determination of the interest rate under Section 3.6(a) or Section 3.6(b); provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on any Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens unless Borrower shall provide such Lender with an indemnification for such additional costs in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.

3.9 Interest Rate Protection.

(a) Interest Rate Agreement. No later than five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, Borrower shall have entered into, and shall maintain in full force and effect, one or more LIBO Rate cap agreements and/or interest rate swaps with schedules and confirmations thereto (collectively, the “Interest Rate Agreements”) with respect to a minimum of 75% of the aggregate outstanding principal of the Term Loans on the Closing Date, on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the counterparty to each such Interest Rate Agreement. Borrower may substitute one type of Interest Rate Agreement for another type of Interest Rate Agreement, which substitution shall not otherwise constitute an Event of Default.

(b) Interest Fix Fees. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by each counterparty providing the Interest Rate Agreements that Borrower enters into hereunder, including any reasonable costs, fees or expenses (including increased interest payments) incurred in connection with any unwinding, breach or termination of such Interest Rate Agreements (“Interest Fix Fees”).

(c) Security. The obligations of Borrower under each Interest Rate Agreement, and all associated Interest Fix Fees shall be secured by the Collateral Documents and shall rank pari passu with the obligations of Borrower under the other Financing Documents.

Borrower and each Affiliated Participant has duly authorized, executed and delivered each Operative Document to which Borrower or such Affiliated Participant is a party (or such Operative Documents have been duly and validly assigned to Borrower and Borrower has assumed the obligations thereunder by operation of law or otherwise), and none of the execution and delivery thereof by Borrower or such Affiliated Participant, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or the compliance with the terms thereof or performance of its obligations thereunder (i) does or will contravene (A) the Borrower LLC Agreement or any organizational document of such Affiliated Participant or (B) any other Legal Requirement applicable to or binding on Borrower, such Affiliated Participant or any of their respective properties, except for any such contravention of a Legal Requirement that could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) does or will contravene or result in any material breach of or constitute any material default under, or result in or require the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their respective properties under, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower or any Affiliated Participant is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected; or (iii) does or will require the consent or approval of any Person, which has not already been obtained.

None of the Operative Documents to which Borrower or any Affiliated Participant is a party has been amended or modified except in accordance with this Financing Agreement or as disclosed. Each Operative Document has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and each Affiliated Participant, and to the knowledge of Borrower, by each other party thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be entitled to assume and control the defenses of any such action, suit or proceedings if and to the extent that, in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee and its counsel, such action, suit or proceeding involves the potential imposition of criminal liability upon such Indemnitee or a potential or actual conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and Borrower (unless such conflict of interest is waived in writing by such Indemnitee), and in such event (other than with respect to disputes between such Indemnitee and another Indemnitee) Borrower shall pay the reasonable expenses of such Indemnitee in such defense; provided that Borrower shall not be required to pay any such expenses of more than one lead counsel.

Any such compromise or settlement shall be binding upon Borrower for purposes of this Section 7.23.

(g) Upon payment of any Claim by Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.23, or other similar indemnity provisions contained herein to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, Borrower, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating thereto, and such Indemnitee shall cooperate with Borrower and give such further assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable Borrower vigorously to pursue such claims.

(c) Acceleration. Declare and make any or all sums of accrued and outstanding principal of Loans and accrued but unpaid interest remaining under this Financing Agreement and evidenced by any or all of the Notes, together with all unpaid fees, costs (including Liquidation Costs, Interest Fix Fees and charges and amounts due hereunder or under any other Financing Document) immediately due and payable, provided, however, that upon an Event of Default occurring under Section 10.1(d), all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable without further act of Administrative Agent or Lender or any other Person.

(a) Each Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Financing Agreement or in any other Financing Document, and shall not be a trustee for, or fiduciary of, any Lender or any other Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Agent shall be required to take any action which is contrary to this Financing Agreement or any other Financing Documents or any Legal Requirement or exposes such Agent to any liability. Each of the Agents, the Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates shall not be responsible to any other Agent, Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower, or any Project Company or any Affiliates thereof contained in this Financing Agreement or any other Financing Document or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent or any Lender under this Financing Agreement or any other Financing Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Financing Agreement, the Notes, any other Financing Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by Borrower, any Project Company or any Affiliates thereof to perform their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder. Each Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. No Agent shall be liable to Borrower for breach by any other Agent under any Financing Document or any Lender in its capacity solely as Agent, or be liable to any other Agent or any Lender for breach by Borrower of any Financing Document.

(b) Each Agent and its respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Financing Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until such Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form and substance satisfactory to such Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Agent for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Project Document or Financing Document; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Operative Document on the part of any party thereto or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of Borrower, any Project Company or any other Person; and (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Agent for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Operative Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant

hereto or thereto. Except as otherwise provided under this Financing Agreement, each Agent shall take such action with respect to the Financing Documents as shall be directed, or consented to, by the Majority Lenders.

12.3 Reliance by Agents.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, telecopy or telex) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. As to any other matters not expressly provided for by this Financing Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon instructions or with the consent of the Majority Lenders (except that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Financing Agreement, any other Financing Document or any Legal Requirement) and shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Financing Document in accordance with the instructions or consent of the Majority Lenders, and such instructions or consent of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or refraining to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders.

12.4 Non-Reliance.

Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance on any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and each Project Company and decision to enter into this Financing Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Financing Agreement. Each Agent and Lender shall not be required to keep informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower, any Project Company or any Affiliated Participant under this Financing Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of Borrower, any Project Company or any Affiliated Participant.

12.5 Defaults.

(a) Each Agent (acting in its capacity as Agent and not in any other capacity) shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Inchoate Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received a written notice from a Lender, another Agent or Borrower, referring to this Financing Agreement, describing such Inchoate Default or Event of Default and indicating that such notice is a “notice of default”. If an Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of an Inchoate Default or Event of Default, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the other Agent. Each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Inchoate Default or Event of Default as is provided in Article 10 of this Financing Agreement.

(b) Unless and until an Agent shall have received instructions from the Lenders or the other Agent, as may be applicable, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Inchoate Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders (in case of Administrative Agent) or Secured Parties (in case of Security Agent).

12.6 Indemnification.

Without limiting the Obligations of Borrower hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and Security Agent, ratably in accordance with the proportion that (i) the aggregate Commitments and/or Loans of such Lender bears to (ii) the aggregate of all Commitments and/or Loans, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Security Agent or Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Financing Agreement any other Financing Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Security Agent’s or Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each of Administrative Agent and Security Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take any action hereunder 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 Administrative Agent and Security Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by Security Agent or Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Operative Documents, to the extent that Security Agent or Administrative Agent are not reimbursed promptly for such expenses by Borrower.

12.7 Successor Agents.

Each Agent acknowledges that its current intention is to remain Agent hereunder. Nevertheless, any Agent may resign at any time by giving fifteen (15) days’ written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower, such resignation to be effective only upon the acceptance of the appointment of a successor Agent by the Lenders, in case of a successor Administrative Agent or Security Agent. Furthermore, with the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) any Agent may assign its duties and rights as Agent to any of its Affiliates satisfying the requirements set forth below upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Lenders, the other Agents and Borrower. Upon the occurrence of such assignment, all rights and obligations of such assigning Agent under the Financing Documents shall be transferred to such assignee, and the parties hereto shall execute in conjunction therewith assignment documentation and such other documentation as shall be necessary or desirable to preserve the transactions contemplated hereby and to preserve such Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, if any, all as shall be reasonably satisfactory to such assignee. Any Agent may be removed

involuntarily only for a material breach of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Financing Documents or for gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or under the other Financing Documents and then only upon the affirmative vote of the Majority Lenders (in each case, the “Required Applicable Lenders”) (excluding such Agent from such vote and such Agent’s Loans from the amounts used to determine the portion of the Loans necessary to constitute the Required Applicable Lenders). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Applicable Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with the consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Applicable Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, with the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a financial institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under the Operative Documents by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent only under the Financing Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Financing Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Operative Documents.

12.8 Authorization.

(a) Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform each of the Financing Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in the Financing Documents.

(b) Security Agent is hereby authorized by the Secured Parties to execute, deliver and perform each of the Financing Documents to which such Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Secured Party agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of such Agent contained in the Financing Documents.

(c) Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Agent to disclose any information received in its capacity as Agent to the other Agents and Lenders.

12.9 Other Rights and Powers of Agents.

(a) With respect to its Commitments, the Loans made by it, the Interest Rate Agreements issued by it and any Note issued to it, each of Administrative Agent and Security Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Operative Documents as any other Lender; and each Agent may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent. The term “Lender,” or “Lenders,” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Each Agent

and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any other Person, without any duty to account therefor to any of the Lenders, or the other Agent.

(b) Any information acquired by an Agent which, in its reasonable opinion, is acquired by it other than in its capacity as Agent will be treated as confidential by such Agent and will not be deemed to be information possessed by such Agent in its capacity as such.

(c) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to approve an amendment or modification to any Project Document to the extent it is necessary to correct any provision that is inconsistent with any other provision in such Project Document or to the extent such amendment or modification, in the reasonable determination of Administrative Agent, does not adversely affect the interests of any Lender.

12.10 Security Agent to Hold in Trust.

Security Agent will hold all of its rights under or pursuant to the Collateral Documents and all sums received by it under this Financing Agreement and under the Collateral Documents (save for any sums received solely for its own account pursuant to such documents) in accordance with the terms of this Financing Agreement and the Collateral Documents in trust for each of the Secured Parties.

12.11 Amendments and Decision Making.

Subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in this Financing Agreement, the Majority Lenders (or Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Majority Lenders) and Borrower may enter into any amendments, modifications or supplements to, or waivers of the terms of this Financing Agreement and the other Financing Documents; provided, that any amendments, modifications or supplements to, or waivers that would modify Section 2.2 or otherwise affect the Issuing Bank shall also require the consent of the Issuing Bank; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification or supplement shall, without the consent of all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank:

(a) Extend the maturity of any Loan or any of the Notes or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment of interest due on any Loan or any Note; or

(b) modify Sections 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 7.1, 7.24, and 8.6; or

(d) increase the amount of the Commitments of any Lender under this Financing Agreement; or

(e) reduce or change the time or amount of payment of any fee due or payable hereunder or under any Financing Document; or

(f) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Lenders; or

(g) permit Borrower to assign its rights under this Financing Agreement except as provided in Section 8.16; or

(h) amend this Section 12.11; or

(i) release any Collateral from the Lien of any of the Collateral Documents or release any guaranties under any of the Collateral Documents or allow release of any funds from any Collateral Account otherwise than in accordance with the terms hereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Section 12.11, any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any provision of Article 12 shall require the prior written consent of each Agent.

12.12 Withholding Tax.

(a) Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 3.4(e) are not delivered to Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

(b) If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Administrative Agent or Borrower did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was inaccurate, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent, Borrower or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason, other than gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or Borrower claiming indemnity hereunder) such Lender shall indemnify promptly Administrative Agent and/or Borrower (but in the case of Borrower, only to the extent that Borrower would not have been required to pay additional amounts or indemnify such Lender for such tax pursuant to Section 3.4), as applicable, fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Person as tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs, and any out of pocket expenses.

(c) If any Lender sells, assigns, grants participations in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Financing Agreement, the participant shall comply and be bound

by the terms of Sections 3.4(d), 3.4(e), 12.12(a) and 12.12(b) as though it were such Lender.

12.13 Substitution of Lender.

Should any Lender (i) be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) otherwise fail to make a Loan, (iii) fail to provide the forms or other documentation required by Section 3.4(f) in violation of its obligations under this Financing Agreement, (iv) be unable to maintain or continue LIBO Rate Loans due to an event occurring under Section 3.6(a), (v) be unable to maintain or continue Loans due to an event occurring under Section 3.6(b), (vi) claim increased costs under Section 3.6(c) or Section 3.6(d), (vii) claim any right to payment under Section 3.4(d), or (viii) refuse to give timely consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of the Financing Documents that, pursuant to Section 12.11, requires consent of all of the Lenders and the consent of at least the Required Lenders has been obtained with respect thereto (in each case, a “Substitutable Lender”), Administrative Agent shall (a) in its sole and absolute discretion, fund the Loan on behalf of the Substitutable Lender or (b) cooperate with Borrower or any other Lender to find another Person that shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent and that shall be willing to assume the Substitutable Lender’s obligations under this Financing Agreement (including the obligation to make, maintain or continue the Loan which the Substitutable Lender failed to make but without assuming any liability for damages for failing to have made, maintained or continued such Loan or any previously required Loan). Subject to the provisions of the next following sentence, such Person shall be substituted for the Substitutable Lender hereunder upon execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of an agreement acceptable to Administrative Agent by such Person assuming the Substitutable Lender’s obligations under this Financing Agreement, and all principal, interest and fees which would otherwise have been payable to the Substitutable Lender shall thereafter be payable to such Person. Nothing in (and no action taken pursuant to) this Section 12.13 shall relieve the Substitutable Lender from any liability it might have to Borrower, to Administrative Agent or to the other Lenders as a result of its failure to make, maintain or continue such Loan.

12.14 Participations.

Nothing herein provided shall prevent any Lender from selling a participation in its Loans; provided that (a) no such sale of a participation shall (i) alter such Lender’s obligations hereunder, or (ii) cause an increase in any expense or cost to Borrower including pursuant to Section 3.4 or otherwise under this Financing Agreement, and (b) any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant a participation in its rights with respect to its Loans shall provide that, with respect to such Loans, such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to exercise the rights of such Lender, and enforce the obligations of Borrower relating to such Loans, including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Financing Agreement or any other Financing Document and the right to take action to have the Obligations (and the Notes) declared due and payable pursuant to Article 10. Each Lender that sells a participation in its Commitments or Loans shall provide notice of such sale to Borrower no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of any such sale. No recipient of a participation in any Loans of any Lender shall have any rights under this Financing Agreement or shall be entitled to any reimbursement for Taxes, Other Taxes, increased cost or reserve

requirements under Section 3.4 or 3.6 or any other indemnity or payment rights against Borrower.

12.15 Transfer of Loans; Commitments.

Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, any Lender, after receiving the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and, prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may from time to time, at its option, sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of its Loans and Commitments (including the Lender’s interest in this Financing Agreement and the other Financing Documents) to any bank, insurance company or other financial institution; provided, however, that (i) no Lender (including any assignee of any Lender) may assign any portion of its Loans and Commitments to a new lender if, at the time of transfer, such assignment would result, if the circumstances (including Governmental Rules) at the time of such transfer were unchanged or if the change in such circumstances does not give rise to or increase the costs described in this sentence, in claims being made by such new lender, for costs pursuant to Section 3.4 or Section 3.6 hereof in excess of those which could be made by the assigning Lender were it not to make such assignment, unless such new lender waives its right to claim such costs or unless Borrower consents to such transfer and (ii) in no event shall the consent of the Borrower be required in respect of any such assignments, transfers or other dispositions described above from a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender and such Lender confirms to Borrower in writing that no material increased costs under Section 3.4 or Section 3.6 could reasonably be expected to result from such transfer. In the event of any such assignment, (a) the assigning Lender’s Proportionate Share of Loans and Commitments shall be reduced by the amount of the Proportionate Share of Loans and Commitments assigned to the new lender, (b) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit N attached hereto, evidencing such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition and evidencing the assumption by the new Lender of its Proportionate Share of Loans and Commitments; (c) Borrower shall (A) execute and deliver to such new lender a new Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, in a principal amount equal to its Proportionate Share of the Loans being assigned, and (B) execute and exchange with the assigning Lender a replacement note for the Note then held by such Lender in an amount equal to the Proportionate Share of the Loans retained by the Lender, if any, and (d) the assigning Lender shall cancel and return any replaced Note to Borrower promptly after the effectiveness of such assignment. Administrative Agent shall be paid an assignment fee of $3,000 by the assigning Lender for each assignment made pursuant to this Section 12.15, unless waived by Administrative Agent. For greater certainty, it is the intention of the parties that transfer of a Note among Lenders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Financing Agreement may be effected only by surrender and reissuance of such Note by Borrower or by issuance of a replacement Note by Borrower. Thereafter, such new lender shall be deemed to be a Lender and shall have all of the rights and duties of the assigning Lender (except as otherwise provided in this Article 12), in accordance with its Proportionate Share of Loans and Commitments, under each of the Financing Documents. For greater certainty, other than as set forth in Section 14.4, the costs of the foregoing shall not be for the account of Borrower.

12.16 Laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 12, no sale, assignment, transfer, negotiation or other disposition of the interests of any Lender hereunder or under the other Financing Documents shall be allowed if it would require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any other federal securities laws or regulations or the securities laws or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction. Borrower shall, from time to time at the request and expense of the Lenders, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, or to such party or parties as Administrative Agent may designate, any and all further instruments and take such further actions as may in the opinion of Administrative Agent be reasonably necessary or advisable to give full force and effect to such disposition.

12.17 Assignability to Federal Reserve Bank.

and after payment in full of all Obligations any surplus remaining shall be paid to the Mortgagor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

(b) Liability for Deficiencies. No sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Mortgage Estate pursuant to Section 4.02 shall be deemed to relieve the Mortgagor of its obligations under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent the proceeds thereof are applied to the payment of such obligations. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, if the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Mortgage Estate are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Obligations, the Mortgagor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

Section 4.04. Right to Xxx. The Mortgagee shall have the right from time to time to xxx for any sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor under the terms of this Mortgage as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the Obligations shall be, or have become, due and without prejudice to the right of the Mortgagee thereafter to bring any action or proceeding of foreclosure or any other action upon the occurrence of any Default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

Section 4.05. Powers of the Mortgagee.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy under this Mortgage, or under applicable law, whether now or hereafter existing; the failure of the Mortgagee to insist at any time upon the strict observance or performance of any of the provisions of this Mortgage or to exercise any right or remedy provided for herein or under applicable law, shall not impair any such right or remedy nor be construed as a waiver or relinquishment thereof.

(b) Other Security. The Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any of the obligations of the Mortgagor and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any Loan Document or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding that some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, Lien, assignment or otherwise; neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect the Mortgagee’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by the Mortgagee, it being stipulated that the Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by the Mortgagee in such order and manner as the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may determine; every power or remedy given by the Loan Agreement, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents to the Mortgagee, or to which the Mortgagee is otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee may pursue inconsistent remedies.

Section 4.07. Waiver of Stay, Extension, Moratorium Laws; Equity of Redemption.

The Mortgagor for itself and all who may claim under it, hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights and equities of redemption from sale under the power of sale created hereunder or from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage and (if a Default shall have occurred) all notice or notices of seizure, and all right to have the Mortgage Estate marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof. The Mortgagee shall not be obligated to pursue or exhaust its rights or remedies as against any other part of the Mortgage Estate and the Mortgagor hereby waives any right or claim of right to have the Mortgagee proceed in any particular order.

Section 4.08. No Waiver of Foreclosure. Mortgagor agrees for itself and its successors and assigns that the acceptance, before the expiration of the right of redemption and after the commencement of foreclosure proceedings of this Mortgage, of insurance proceeds, eminent domain awards, Rents or anything else of value to be applied on or to the Obligations by the Mortgagee or the Lenders or any person or party holding under it shall not constitute a waiver of such foreclosure, and this agreement by Mortgagor shall be that agreement referred to in Section 6321 of Title 14 of the Maine Revised Statutes of 1964 as necessary to prevent such waiver of foreclosure. This agreement by Mortgagor is intended to apply to the acceptance and application of any such proceeds, awards, Rents and other sums or anything else of value whether the same shall be accepted from, or for the account of, Mortgagor or from any other source whatsoever by the Mortgagee or any Lender or by any person or party holding under Mortgagee at any time or times in the future while any of the Obligations shall remain outstanding.

Section 4.09. Assignment of Certain Easement Obligations.

Any foreclosure of this Mortgage shall constitute an express assignment from the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee or other party that acquires the Property pursuant to such foreclosure sale (the “Assignee”) of the Mortgagor’s obligations under the Easement Deed dated as of October 2, 2008 between Evergreen Wind Power V, LLC, and Maine Electric Power Company and recorded in the Penobscot County Registry of Deeds in Book 11553, Page 18 and the Use Agreement referenced therein, if any, and such acquisition of the Property pursuant to such foreclosure shall be deemed to be a written acceptance of all such assigned obligations by the Assignee.

extent otherwise required by applicable law) be deemed to be made (i) first, in respect of the portion of the Obligations not secured by the Lien of this Mortgage, (ii) second, in respect of the portion of the Obligations secured by the Lien of this Mortgage, but which Lien is on less than all of the Mortgage Estate, and (iii) last, to the portion of the Obligations secured by the Lien of this Mortgage, and which Lien is on all of the Mortgage Estate.

(b) Nature of Security Interest. The granting of the foregoing security interest does not make Security Agent or any Secured Party a successor to Borrower as a member in any Project Company, and none of Security Agent, any Secured Party or any of their successors or assigns hereunder shall be deemed to have become a member in any Project Company by accepting this Agreement or exercising any right granted herein unless and until such time, if any, when Security Agent, any Secured Party or any such successor or assign expressly becomes a member in any Project Company after a foreclosure upon the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of Security Agent, the Secured Parties, or any of their successors or assigns shall be deemed to have assumed or otherwise become liable for any debts or obligations of any Project Company or of Borrower by virtue of the security interest granted hereunder (except to the extent, if any, that Security Agent, any Secured Party or any of their successors or assigns hereafter expressly becomes a member in any Project Company).

(c) Delivery of Agreements. Borrower has heretofore delivered or concurrently with the delivery hereof is delivering to Security Agent, an executed counterpart or certified copy of each LLC Agreement and each of the Assigned Agreements in existence on the date hereof. Borrower will likewise, to the extent required under the Financing Agreement deliver to Security Agent a copy of an executed counterpart or certified copy of each Additional Project Document and each future lease or future easement relating to the Project or any part thereof and amendments and supplements to the foregoing, included in the Collateral, as they are entered into by Borrower promptly upon the execution thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such Additional Project Document, or material future lease, or other material agreement related to the Project may be entered into by Borrower without the prior written approval of Security Agent, except as otherwise permitted under the Financing Agreement and the LLC Agreements, as applicable.

(d) Continuing Liability Under Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) Borrower shall remain liable under each LLC Agreement and each Assigned Agreement to perform all of the obligations undertaken by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and (b) Security Agent shall have no obligation or liability under any of such agreements by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, nor shall Security Agent be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of Borrower thereunder or to make any payment or inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or present or file any claim, or take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time.

(e) Consent to Transfer: Borrower, as the sole member of each Project Company, hereby irrevocably consents (for all purposes under the LLC Agreements) to the transfer of the Membership Interest of each Project Company to any Person upon exercise by the Security Agent of its remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.

(f) Defaults Under Assigned Agreements. If a default by Borrower under any of the Assigned Agreements shall occur and be continuing, and if such default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect as determined by Administrative Agent (with consent of Required Applicable Lenders), then, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to Borrower (or, if the applicable Assigned Agreement has a cure period of less than twenty (20) days with respect to defaults, then such ten (10) Business Days notice period shall be reduced to the number of days which is half of the number of days provided to cure any such default under such Assigned Agreement), Security Agent shall, at its option, be permitted (but not obligated) to remedy any such default either pursuant to the terms of any Consent in respect of such Assigned Agreement or otherwise by giving written notice of such intent to Borrower and to the parties to the Assigned Agreement or Assigned Agreements for which Security Agent intends to remedy the default. After giving such notice of its intent to cure such default and upon the commencement thereof, Security Agent will proceed to cure such default. Any cure by Security Agent of Borrower’s default under any of the Assigned Agreements shall not be construed as an assumption by Security Agent or any other Secured Party of any obligations, covenants or agreements of Borrower under such Assigned Agreement or any other Assigned Agreement, and neither Security Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable to Borrower or any other Person as a result of any actions undertaken by Security Agent in curing or attempting to cure any such default, except as otherwise set forth in the Financing Agreement or any applicable Consent. This Agreement shall not be deemed to release or to affect in any way the obligations of Borrower under the Assigned Agreements.

(g) Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling Security Agent to exercise its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under Section 6 at that time or times as Security Agent is lawfully entitled to exercise those rights, remedies, powers and privileges, and for no other purpose, Borrower hereby grants to Security Agent, to the extent assignable or licensable in a manner consistent with this Agreement and without payment of any royalty or compensation, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Borrower) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property of Borrower, together with reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout of those items.

(h) Preservation of Security Interests. Borrower shall:

(i) upon the acquisition after the date of this Agreement by Borrower of any Certificated Securities, Instruments, Deposit Accounts, other Investment Property, Electronic Chattel Paper, Letter-of Credit Rights, Motor Vehicles or other Equipment covered by a certificate of title or ownership promptly (x) take such action with respect to that Collateral as is specified for that type of Collateral in Section 14 and (y) take all such other actions, and authenticate or sign and file or record such other records or instruments, as are necessary or as Security Agent may reasonably request to create, perfect and establish the priority of the liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral, to preserve the validity, perfection or priority of the liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral or to enable Security Agent to exercise its remedies, rights, powers and privileges under this Agreement.

(ii) upon Borrower’s acquiring, or otherwise becoming entitled to the benefits of, any Intellectual Property or upon or prior to Borrower’s filing, either directly or through Security Agent, any licensee or any other designee, of any application with any Governmental Authority for any Intellectual Property, in each case after the date of this Agreement, execute and deliver such contracts, agreements and other instruments as Security Agent may reasonably request to create, perfect and establish the priority of the liens granted by this Agreement in that Intellectual Property.

(iii) whether with respect to Collateral as of the date of this Agreement or Collateral in which Borrower acquires rights in the future, authorize, give, authenticate, execute, deliver, file or record any and all financing statements, notices, contracts, agreements or other records or instruments, obtain any and all Applicable Permits, and take all such other actions, as are necessary or as Security Agent may reasonably request to create, perfect and establish the priority of the liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral, to preserve the validity, perfection or priority of the liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral or to enable Security Agent to exercise and enforce its remedies, rights, powers and privileges under this Agreement.

(iv) furnish to Security Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral pledged by Borrower hereunder and such other reports in connection with the Collateral pledged by Borrower hereunder as Security Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(j) Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall be continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Financing Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein or herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than payment in full of all Obligations, subject to Section 2(l)), it being the intent of this Section 2(j) that the obligations of Borrower hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of Borrower hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above without regard to and not be released, discharged or in any way affected (whether in full or in part) by:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to Borrower, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(iv) any lien granted to, or in favor of, Security Agent as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(v) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against Security Agent, Borrower, any Project Company or any other Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any part of the Obligations (or any interest on all or any part of the Obligations) in or as a result of any such proceeding.

Should, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any money due or owing under this Agreement not be recoverable from Borrower for any reason, whether by operation of law or otherwise, then, in any such case, such money shall nevertheless be recoverable by Security Agent from the proceeds of the Collateral as though Borrower were the principal debtor in respect thereof and not merely a pledgor hereunder.

(k) Waiver.

(i) Borrower hereby expressly waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest; filing of claims with any court; any proceeding to enforce any provision of the Financing Documents; notice of acceptance of and reliance on this Agreement by the Secured Parties, notice of the creation of any Obligations of Borrower or any Project Company, and any other notice whatsoever (other than those specifically provided under the Financing Documents); any requirement that Security Agent exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed or take any other action against any Project Company under any Financing Document to which it is a party or any lien or encumbrance on, or any claim of payment against, any property of any Project Company or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any other Person under any guarantee of, or lien securing, or claim for payment of, any of the Obligations; any right to require a proceeding by Security Agent first against any Project Company whether to marshal any assets or to exhaust any right or take any action against any Project Company or any other

(ii) The enforceability and effectiveness of this Agreement and the liability of Borrower, and the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Security Agent, under this Agreement shall not be affected, limited, reduced, discharged or terminated, and Borrower hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any defense now or in the future arising by reason of:

A. the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations, any Financing Document or any agreement, security document, guarantee or other instrument relating to all or any part of the Obligations;

F. any failure of Security Agent to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral (other than the Collateral) for all or any part of the Obligations;

G. any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of, or other election of remedies with respect to, any interest in real property or other collateral serving as security for all or any part of the Obligations, even though such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies may impair the subrogation rights of any Project Company or Borrower or may preclude any Project Company or Borrower from obtaining reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or other recovery from any Project Company or Borrower or any other Person and even though such Project Company or Borrower may not, as a result of such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies, be liable for any deficiency;

H. any act or omission of Security Agent or any other Person that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrower or any Project Company or any part of the Obligations or any security or guarantee (including any letter of credit) for all or any part of the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise;

I. any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation;

R. any action taken by Security Agent that is authorized by this Section 2(k) or otherwise in this Agreement or by any other provision of any Financing Document or any omission to take any such action.

(l) Reinstatement. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 2 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of 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. Borrower agrees that it will indemnify Security Agent on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable and reasonably documented fees of counsel) incurred by Security Agent in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(m) Subrogation. Borrower hereby waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2 and further agrees for the benefit of Security Agent that any such payment by it shall be characterized as a contribution of capital by Borrower to the applicable Project Company (or an investment in the equity capital of the applicable Project Company by Borrower). If any amount shall be paid to Borrower on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the indefeasible and unconditional payment, discharge or performance in full of the Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Security Agent (if applicable) and shall forthwith be paid to Security Agent to be credited and applied upon and against the Obligations, to the extent then matured, in accordance with the terms of the relevant Financing Documents or, to the extent not then matured or existing, be held by Security Agent as collateral security for the Obligations.

(n) Remedies. Borrower agrees that, as between Borrower and Security Agent, any Obligations of Borrower to the Secured Parties under any of the Financing Documents to which it is a party may be declared to be forthwith due and payable notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against Borrower or any Project Company, and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower or any Project Company) shall forthwith become due and payable by Borrower for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any amount payable by Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence may be applied to the payment or prepayment (as the case may be) of the Obligations of Borrower or any Project Company, as applicable (whether or not due and payable). Each of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement is separate and independent of each other obligation of Borrower hereunder and separate and independent of the Obligations, and Borrower agrees that a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted by Security Agent against Borrower to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought by Security Agent against Borrower or any Project Company under any relevant Financing Document or whether Borrower or any Project Company is joined in any such action or actions.

(o) Continuing Obligation. The obligations of Borrower provided in this Section 2 are continuing obligations and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

Section 3. Delivery of Collateral.

All Membership Certificates, instruments or other documents representing or evidencing the Membership Interest, if any, shall be endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignments in blank, all in a form satisfactory to Security Agent, and shall be delivered promptly to Security Agent or its nominee upon execution of this Agreement. Security Agent shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without prior notice to Borrower, but only following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to transfer to or register in the name of Security Agent or its nominee, any or all such certificates, instruments or other documents, provided, that Security Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the applicable Project Company of such transfer or registration. Such certificates, instruments and other documents representing the Membership Interest shall be returned to Borrower promptly upon satisfaction of the Obligations.

Section 4. Obligations Secured.

This Agreement and all of the Collateral hereunder assigned to Security Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, secures the payment and performance when due of all Obligations to Security Agent and the other Secured Parties under the Financing Documents.

Section 5. Use of Collateral.

Except for the Membership Certificates, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower reserves the right to, and shall be entitled to, use and possess the Collateral and exercise all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, including under the LLC Agreements and to receive and use (subject to the terms of the Financing Agreement) all income, profit and other distributions in respect of the Collateral. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property of the Project Companies in the ordinary course of its business to the extent permitted by the Financing Agreement and the other Operative Documents.

Section 6. Remedies.

(a) Subject to the terms of the Financing Documents, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Security Agent shall have the right, at its election and at the direction of the Required Applicable Lenders, but not the obligation, to do any of the following:

(v) sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral or cause any or all of the Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of in one or more sales or transactions, at such prices as Security Agent may deem commercially reasonable, and for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk, at any broker’s board or at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale (except such notice which under applicable law cannot be waived, in which case such notice shall be in accordance with the provisions hereof to the extent permitted by applicable law), it being agreed that Security Agent may be a purchaser on behalf of the Secured Parties or on its own behalf at any such sale and that Security Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person who may be a bona fide purchaser for value of any or all of the Collateral without notice of any claims on any or all of the Collateral so sold shall thereafter hold the same absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption, of Borrower or any Project Company, any such demand, notice or right and equity being hereby expressly waived and released;

(vi) incur reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees, and other costs appropriate to the exercise of any right or power under this Agreement;

(vii) perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder, under any other Financing Document, under the LLC Agreements or the Assigned Agreements, and make payments, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien, and pay taxes and expenses, without, however, any obligation to do so;

(viii) secure the appointment of a receiver for Borrower, of the Project or any part thereof and/or the Collateral or any part thereof without prior notice to Borrower or any Project Company;

(ix) proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement, including the right to cause all revenues hereby pledged as security and all other moneys pledged hereunder to be paid directly to it, and to enforce its rights hereunder to such payments and all other rights hereunder by such appropriate judicial proceedings as it shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or otherwise, whether for specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement, or in aid of the exercise of any power therein or herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder and sale under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceeding, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in it by this Agreement or by law;

(x) require Borrower to assemble the Collateral at the expense of Borrower and (to the extent moveable) make it available to Security Agent at a place to be designated by Security Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties;

(xi) require Borrower to take any actions that are necessary or requested by Security Agent to preserve the value of the Collateral and the validity, perfection or priority of the liens granted by this Agreement in any portion of the Collateral;

(xii) take possession of the Collateral (other than the membership Certificates that have been delivered to Security Agent pursuant to Section 3) and render it usable, and repair and renovate the same, without, however, any obligation to do so, and enter upon the property of Borrower or any other location where the same may be located for that purpose, control, manage, operate, rent and lease the Collateral and apply the same in accordance with the the Financing Documents; or

(xiii) exercise any other or additional rights or remedies granted to a secured party under the UCC.

(b) Minimum Notice Period. If, pursuant to applicable law, prior notice of any such action set forth above is required to be given to Borrower or any Project Company, Borrower and applicable Project Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the minimum time required by such applicable law, or if no minimum is specified, of ten (10) Business Days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period. Security Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Security Agent may adjourn any public or private

sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(c) Payment of Costs. Borrower agrees to pay to Security Agent, within five (5) Business Days of its demand therefor, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and reasonably documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incident to its enforcement, protection and preservation of any of its rights and claims under this Agreement. Any amount required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest at the Default Rate or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, from the date due until payment, and shall constitute additional indebtedness secured by this Agreement.

(d) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the Financing Documents. In the event that the proceeds of any sale or other realization upon the Collateral by Security Agent are insufficient to pay all Obligations, Borrower shall be liable for the deficiency as calculated in accordance with the the Financing Documents. Any excess proceeds after full satisfaction of the Obligations shall be returned promptly to Borrower.

Section 7. Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver.

(a) No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Security Agent or the Secured Parties is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

(b) No delay or omission of Security Agent to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power of Security Agent, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Security Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. Each and every default by Borrower in payment hereunder shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and Security Agent may enforce its security interest in concurrent or successive actions and in one or several consolidated or

independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial proceedings, or both.

(c) Security Agent may perform any of its rights and duties hereunder by or through agents and is entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder.

Section 8. Representations and Warranties of Borrower.

Borrower represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, to Security Agent and the Secured Parties as follows:

(a) Borrower has not assigned any of its rights under the LLC Agreements, the Assigned Agreements or any of the Collateral except as provided in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

(b) Borrower is the legal and equitable owner of the Collateral (including the Membership Interest in each Project Company), subject to no mortgages, liens, charges, or encumbrances of any kind other than Liens granted pursuant to the Financing Documents and Permitted Liens set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (f) of the definition thereof, and has full power and lawful authority to pledge, assign and grant a security interest in the Collateral hereunder.

(c) Borrower has not executed and is not aware of any effective financing statement, security agreement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral on file in any recording office or any agreement or instrument granting an interest in the Collateral that is capable of being so recorded, except such as may have been filed pursuant to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, or pursuant to the documents evidencing Permitted Liens.

(d) Borrower (i) is a duly formed and validly existing limited liability company in good standing under the laws of Delaware; (ii) is authorized to do business in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) has the power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged.

(e) Borrower (i) has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Financing Documents, the Assigned Agreements, the LLC Agreements and this Agreement, and to pledge and assign the Collateral; (ii) has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents, the Assigned Agreements, the LLC Agreements and this Agreement;

and (iii) has duly executed and delivered the Financing Documents, the Assigned Agreements, the LLC Agreements and this Agreement. The Financing Documents, the Assigned Agreements, the LLC Agreements and this Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general equitable principles.

(f) The LLC Agreements and the Assigned Agreements have not been amended since the date of their execution, except as otherwise disclosed to Security Agent, and are in full force and effect. There exists no default, or event that with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both would become a default by Borrower under the LLC Agreements or the Assigned Agreements.

(g) The execution and delivery of, and performance by Borrower under, this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, will not (i) violate any provision of any material agreement to which Borrower is a party or any of its property or assets is bound, including the LLC Agreements and the Assigned Agreements, or (ii) conflict with any material law, order, rule or regulation applicable to Borrower, of any court or any federal or state government, regulatory body or administrative agency, or any other governmental body having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of its properties.

(h) Other than the Financing Documents, there is no existing agreement, option, right or privilege capable of becoming an agreement, option or right pursuant to which Borrower could be required to sell or otherwise dispose of all or a part of the Membership Interest.

(i) No consent of any Governmental Authority is required for the transfer of the Membership Interest except as may be required by applicable laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally or the regulation of ownership or operation of utility assets under the laws of the State of New York, the FPA, PUHCA and any other Federal regulation regarding EWG’s.

Except to the extent possession of portions of such Collateral is required for perfection, all such action as is necessary has been taken to establish and perfect Security Agent’s, for the benefit of Secured Parties, rights in and to such Collateral to the extent Security Agent’s security interest (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) can be perfected by filing, including any recording, filing, registration, giving of notice or other similar action. No filing, recordation, re-filing or re-recording other than those listed on Schedule A hereto (as the same may be supplemented from time to time) is necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Liens created by this Agreement on the Collateral, and all such filings or recordings will have been made to the extent Security Agent’s, for the benefit of Secured Parties, security interest can be perfected by filing (except to the extent that such filings or recordings are, by their nature, filings or recordings to be made at a later date). Borrower has properly delivered or caused to be delivered to Security Agent all such Collateral that requires perfection of the Lien and security interest described above by possession.

(l) Place of Business. Borrower’s principal place of business and chief executive office is located at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000. Borrower has not changed its location (as defined in Section 9-307 of the UCC) or previously changed its name.

(m) After-Acquired Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the foregoing representations and warranties shall apply only to the Collateral delivered on the date hereof and that, with respect to Collateral delivered thereafter, Borrower shall, upon the written request of Security Agent, be required to make representations and warranties in form and substance substantially similar to the foregoing in supplements hereto and that such representations and warranties contained in such supplements hereto shall be applicable to such Collateral hereafter delivered.

(n) Pledged Interests. The Membership Interest in each Project Company is duly authorized, validly existing, fully paid and nonassessable, and such Membership Interest is not subject to any contractual restriction, or any restriction under the organizational documents of any Project Company

or Borrower upon the transfer of such Membership Interest (except for any such restriction contained in any Financing Document). Such Membership Interest exists in a certificated form. No Person other than Borrower is the registered owner of the Membership Interest in each Project Company.

(h) Borrower shall give to Security Agent prompt notice of (i) each demand or notice received by it relating to the LLC Agreements or the Assigned Agreements; and (ii) any default, event of default or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both might reasonably be expected to become a default under the LLC Agreements or the Assigned Agreements, whether by any Project Company, Borrower or any other Person, of which Borrower has knowledge or as to which Borrower has received notice.

(i) If Borrower in its capacity as a member of each Project Company receives any income or distribution of money or property of any kind from any Project Company while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than as permitted hereby or under the Financing Agreement), Borrower shall hold such income or distribution as trustee for and shall deliver the same to Security Agent.

(j) Borrower will, at all times, keep accurate and complete records of the Collateral.

(m) Any indebtedness owed to Borrower by any Project Company shall be subordinated pursuant to the terms of Exhibit M of the Financing Agreement (the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference).

(n) Except as otherwise permitted under the Financing Agreement, Borrower will not make any assignment of its rights under the LLC

Agreements or the Assigned Agreements other than any assignment pursuant to this Agreement or any other Financing Document.

Section 10. Voting Rights.

(a) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and not waived by Administrative Agent or Security Agent), Borrower shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of a holder of such interest, including the right to vote from time to time exercisable in respect of the Membership Interest in each Project Company and to give proxies, consents and waivers in respect thereof. No such action may be taken if such action would violate or be inconsistent with the Financing Agreement, any Financing Document or this Agreement.

(b) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default that has not been waived, Security Agent may give Borrower a notice prohibiting Borrower from exercising the rights and powers of a holder of the Membership Interest in each Project Company, including the right to vote such Membership Interest, at which time (and until such time that such Event of Default has been cured or waived), all such rights of Borrower will cease immediately and Security Agent will have the right to exercise the rights and powers related to such Membership Interest, including the right to vote.

(c) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default that has not been waived, and whether or not Security Agent exercises any available right to declare any Obligation due and payable or seek or pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege available to it under applicable law, this Agreement or any other Financing Document, all dividends and other distributions on all Securities included in the Collateral shall be paid directly to a Collateral Account designated by Security Agent and retained by it in such account as part of the Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, and, if Security Agent so requests, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Security Agent appropriate additional dividend, distribution and other orders and instruments to that end, provided that if such Event of Default is cured, any such dividend or distribution paid to Security Agent prior to its cure shall, upon request of Borrower (except to the extent applied to the Obligations), be returned by Security Agent to Borrower.

Section 11. Certain Consents and Waivers.

(a) Borrower hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, and only while this Agreement is in effect (subject to Section 25 below), (i) all rights and remedies afforded to guarantors, sureties and other Persons under applicable law, including limitations on the recovery of a deficiency under an obligation secured by a deed of trust on real

property if the real property is sold under a power of sale contained in the deed of trust, including specifically, the rights and remedies available under the laws of the State of New York, and all defenses based on any loss, whether as a result of any such sale or otherwise, of Borrower’s right to recover any amount from any Project Company, whether by right of subrogation or otherwise; (ii) all rights under any law to require Security Agent to pursue any Project Company or any other Person, or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Security Agent, or to pursue any other remedy before proceeding against Borrower; (iii) all rights of reimbursement or subrogation, including the rights and protections under the laws of the State of New York, all rights to enforce any remedy that Security Agent or the Secured Parties may have against any Project Company, and all rights to participate in any security held by Security Agent until the Obligations have been satisfied in full; (iv) all rights to require Security Agent to give any notices of any kind, including notices of nonpayment, nonperformance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, dishonor, default, delinquency or acceleration, or to make any presentments, demands or protests, except as expressly provided in the Financing Documents; (v) all rights to assert the bankruptcy or insolvency of Borrower or any Project Company as a defense hereunder or as the basis for rescission hereof; (vi) all rights under any law purporting to reduce Borrower’s Obligations hereunder if any Project Company’s Obligations under any Financing Document are reduced; (vii) all defenses based on the disability or lack of authority of Borrower, any Project Company or any Person, the repudiation of the Financing Documents by Borrower, any Project Company or any Person, or the failure by Security Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce any claim against Borrower or any Project Company, or the unenforceability in whole or in part of any Financing Documents; and (viii) all suretyship and guarantor’s defenses generally. Borrower further agrees that upon an Event of Default with respect to any Project Company, Security Agent may elect to exercise any remedy against Borrower or any security or any guarantor under the Financing Documents and this Agreement, even if the effect of that action is to deprive Borrower of the right to collect reimbursement from any Project Company for any sums paid by Borrower to Security Agent or any Secured Party.

Section 12. Project Companies’ Consent and Covenant.

Each Project Company hereby consents to the assignment and grant of a security interest in the Collateral to Security Agent and to the exercise by Security Agent of all rights and powers assigned or delegated to Security Agent by Borrower hereunder, including the right of Security Agent upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default to exercise Borrower’s voting rights and other rights under each LLC Agreement to manage or control each Project Company as provided therein.

GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

This GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December [ ], 2009, is entered into by and among STETSON WIND II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Guarantor”), STETSON HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), and BNP PARIBAS, as Security Agent (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Security Agent”) for each of the Secured Parties.

RECITALS

B. Borrower is the sole member and owns 100% of all issued and outstanding membership interests in Guarantor. The proceeds of the Loans will be used, among other purposes, for the ownership and operation of certain wind electricity generating assets in Maine by Guarantor. Guarantor agrees to guarantee the obligations of Borrower under the Financing Agreement and the other Financing Documents and to provide a security interest in the collateral described in this Agreement.

C. Guarantor acknowledges that it will benefit if the Lenders and the Issuing Bank extend credit to Borrower pursuant to the Financing Agreement.

D. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Financing Agreement, Guarantor shall have executed this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the foregoing premises and to induce the Lenders and the Issuing Bank to extend credit pursuant to the Financing Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees with Security Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as follows:

Section 1. Definitions.

(a) Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein or unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement, including its preamble and recitals, shall have the same meaning provided in Exhibit A to the Financing Agreement, or, if not defined therein, shall have the

meaning provided in the Uniform Commercial Code, as the same from time to time shall be in effect in the State of New York (the “UCC”); provided, however, in the event that, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the perfection or priority of the security interest in any Collateral (as defined below) is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the term “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions hereof relating to such perfection or priority and for purposes of definitions related to such provisions. The Rules of Interpretation contained in Exhibit A to the Financing Agreement shall apply to this Agreement.

(i) Certain Uniform Commercial Code Terms. As used herein, the terms “Accession”, “Account”, “As-Extracted Collateral”, “Chattel Paper”, “Commodity Account”, “Commodity Contract”, “Deposit Account”, “Commercial Tort Claim”, “Document”, “Electronic Chattel Paper”, “Equipment”, “Fixture”, “General Intangible”, “Goods”, “Instrument”, “Inventory”, “Investment Property”, “Letter-of-Credit Right”, “Motor Vehicle”, “Payment Intangible”, “Proceeds”, “Promissory Note” and “Software” have the respective meanings set forth in Article 9 of the UCC, and the terms “Certificated Security”, “Financial Asset”, “Securities Account”, “Securities Intermediary”, “Security”, “Security Entitlement” and “Software” have the respective meanings set forth in Article 8 of the UCC.

Section 2. Guarantee.

(a) Guarantee. Guarantor hereby guarantees to Security Agent the timely payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of the Obligations in accordance with their terms. Guarantor hereby further agrees that if Borrower fails to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) all or any part of the Obligations, Guarantor will immediately pay the same, upon demand, and that, in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of all or any part of the Obligations, it will timely pay the same in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of that extension or renewal. This Agreement is irrevocable and unconditional in nature and is made with respect to any Obligations now existing or in the future arising. The liability of Guarantor under this Agreement shall continue until the full satisfaction of all Obligations. This Agreement is a guarantee of due and punctual payment and performance and is not merely a guarantee of collection.

(b) Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement shall be continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional

irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Financing Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein or herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than payment in full of the Obligations, subject to Section 2(d)), it being the intent of this Section 2(b) that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above without regard to and not be released, discharged or in any way affected (whether in full or in part) by:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any Financing Document shall have occurred;

(iv) any lien granted to, or in favor of, Security Agent as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(v) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against Security Agent, Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any part of the Obligations (or any interest on all or any part of the Obligations) in or as a result of any such proceeding.

Should, at any time, any money due or owing under this Agreement not be recoverable from Guarantor for any reason, whether by operation of law or otherwise, then, in any such case, such money shall nevertheless be recoverable by Security Agent from the proceeds of the Collateral (as

defined below) as though Guarantor were the principal debtor in respect thereof and not merely a pledgor hereunder.

(i) Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest; filing of claims with any court; any proceeding to enforce any provision of the Financing Documents; notice of acceptance of and reliance on this Agreement by the Secured Parties, notice of the creation of any Obligations, and any other notice whatsoever (other than notices specifically provided under the Financing Documents); any requirement that Security Agent exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed or take any other action against Borrower or any other Person under any Financing Document to which it is a party or any lien or encumbrance on, or any claim of payment against, any property of Borrower or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any other Person under any guarantee of, or lien securing, or claim for payment of, any of the Obligations, any right to require a proceeding by Security Agent first against Borrower or any other Person whether to marshal any assets or to exhaust any right or take any action against Borrower or any other Person or any collateral or otherwise, any diligence in collection or protection for realization upon any Obligation; any obligation hereunder or any collateral security for any of the foregoing; any right of protest, presentment, notice or demand whatsoever, and any claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and all defenses, set-offs, counterclaims, recoupments, reductions, limitations, impairments or terminations, whether arising hereunder or otherwise. Guarantor further waives (A) any requirement that any other Person be joined as a party to any proceeding for the enforcement by Security Agent of any Obligation and (B) the filing of claims by Security Agent in the event of the receivership or bankruptcy of Borrower or any other guarantor. Security Agent shall have the right to bring suit directly against Guarantor with respect to the obligations owed to Security Agent hereunder either prior to or concurrently with any lawsuit against, or without bringing any suit against Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person.

(ii) The enforceability and effectiveness of this Agreement and the liability of Guarantor, and the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Security Agent, under this Agreement shall not be affected, limited, reduced, discharged or terminated, and Guarantor hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any defense now or in the future arising by reason of:

B. any disability or other defense with respect to all or any part of the Obligations of Borrower or Guarantor, including the effect of any statute of limitations that may bar the enforcement of all or any part of the Obligations;

D. the cessation, for any cause whatsoever, of the liability of Borrower in respect of all or any part of the Obligations (other than, subject to Section 2(d), by reason of the full payment and performance of all Obligations);

E. other than notice expressly required under this Agreement, any failure of Security Agent to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral (including any notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any interest in real property serving as collateral for all or any part of the Obligations) for all or any part of the Obligations to Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person or any defect in, or any failure by Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person to receive, any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral for all or any part of the Obligations;

F. any failure of Security Agent to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral (other than the Collateral) for all or any part of the Obligations;

G. any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of, or other election of remedies with respect to, any interest in real property or other collateral serving as security for all or any part of the Obligations, even though such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies may impair the subrogation rights of Borrower or Guarantor or may preclude Borrower or Guarantor from obtaining reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or other recovery from any other Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person and even though

Borrower or Guarantor may not, as a result of such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies, be liable for any deficiency;

H. any act or omission of Security Agent or any other Person that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrower or any part of the Obligations or any security or guarantee (including any letter of credit) for all or any part of the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise;

J. any counterclaim, set-off or other claim which Borrower has or alleges to have with respect to all or any part of the Obligations;

K. any failure of Security Agent to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person;

L. the election by Security Agent, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code;

M. any extension of credit or the grant of any lien or encumbrance under Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code;

N. any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code;

O. any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person;

P. the avoidance of any lien or encumbrance in favor of Security Agent for any reason;

part of the Obligations (or any interest on all or any part of the Obligations) in or as a result of any such proceeding;

R. any action taken by Security Agent that is authorized by this Section 2(c) or otherwise in this Agreement or by any other provision of any Financing Document or any omission to take any such action; or

S. any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor.

(d) Reinstatement. This Agreement, the security interest in, and the lien on, the Collateral (as defined below), and the obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement, shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Guarantor or 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. Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Security Agent on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable and reasonably documented fees of counsel) incurred by Security Agent in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(e) Subrogation. Guarantor hereby waives any right of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the indefeasible and unconditional payment, discharge or performance in full of the Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Security Agent (if applicable) and shall forthwith be paid to Security Agent to be credited and applied upon and against the Obligations, to the extent then matured, in accordance with the terms of the relevant Financing Documents or, to the extent not then matured or existing, be held by Security Agent as collateral security for the Obligations.

(f) Remedies. Guarantor agrees that, as between Guarantor and Security Agent, any Obligations of Borrower to the Secured Parties under any of the Financing Documents to which Borrower is a party may be declared to be forthwith due and payable notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such Obligations from

becoming automatically due and payable) as against Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith be deemed to have become due and payable by Guarantor for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any amount paid by Guarantor pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence may be applied to the payment or prepayment (as the case may be) of the Obligations of Borrower. Each of the obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement is separate and independent of each other obligation of Guarantor hereunder and separate and independent of the Obligations, and Guarantor agrees that a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted by Security Agent against Guarantor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought by Security Agent against Borrower or any other guarantor under any relevant Financing Document or whether Borrower or any other guarantor is joined in any such action or actions.

(g) Continuing Obligation. The obligations of Guarantor provided in this Section 2 are continuing obligations and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

(h) Subordination of Indebtedness of Borrower. Guarantor agrees that any Debt now or in the future owed to it by Borrower or by any other guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to their prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Security Agent so requests, any such Debt shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Parties and shall be paid over to the Security Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in kind on account of the Obligations, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. If, after request by the Security Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Guarantor fails to collect or enforce any such indebtedness or to pay the proceeds of that indebtedness to the Security Agent, the Security Agent as Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, do such acts and sign such documents in Guarantor’s name and on Guarantor’s behalf as the Security Agent considers necessary or desirable to effect that collection, enforcement or payment, the Security Agent being hereby appointed Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact for that purpose (and such appointment is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest) and in accordance with Section 12 of this Agreement.

Section 3. Pledge and Grant of Security Interest.

(a) Granting Clause. To secure the timely payment and performance of the Obligations, Guarantor does hereby assign, grant and pledge to Security Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing

security interest in all estate, right, title and interest of Guarantor in, to and under all assets of Guarantor, whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired, including all estate, right, title and interest of Guarantor in, to and under the following (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(ii) all Accounts;

(iii) all As-Extracted Collateral;

(iv) all Chattel Paper (including Electronic Chattel Paper);

(v) all Deposit Accounts;

(vi) all Documents;

(vii) all Equipment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all wind turbines);

(viii) all Fixtures;

(ix) all General Intangibles;

(x) all Goods not covered by the other clauses of this Section 3, if any;

(xi) all Instruments, including all Promissory Notes;

(xii) all inventions, processes, production methods, proprietary information (including operating data and wind resource data related to the Stetson II Project), know how, maps, plans, specifications, architectural, engineering, construction or shop drawings, route surveys, engineering reports, manuals and similar materials in which Guarantor has an interest, and all payment and performance bonds or warranties or guaranties relating to the Stetson II Project and all of Guarantor’s rights under and in patents, patent licenses, copyrights, trademarks and trade names, trade secrets and any replacements, renewals or substitutions for any of the foregoing (collectively, “Intellectual Property”);

(xiii) all Inventory;

(xiv) all Motor Vehicles;

(xv) all Investment Property not covered by other clauses of this Section 3, including all Securities, all Securities Accounts and all Security Entitlements with respect thereto and Financial Assets carried therein, and all Commodity Accounts and Commodity Contracts;

(xvi) all Letter-of-Credit Rights;

(xvii) Payment Intangibles;

(xviii) Software;

(xix) all Commercial Tort Claims arising out of, relating to or in connection with all or any part of the Inventory, Equipment or Documents of Borrower;

(xx) all cash and cash instruments;

(xxi) all other tangible and intangible personal property whatsoever of the Guarantor; and

(xxii) all claims of Guarantor for damages arising out of or for breach of or default relating to the Collateral; and

The foregoing notwithstanding, the term “Collateral” shall not include (i) contracts and agreements which by their terms or by operation of law prohibit or do not allow assignment or which would become void solely by virtue of a security interest being granted therein, in each case only for so long as such restriction is in place and no such restriction was agreed with the intent to undermine the security interest granted therein, or (ii) any Applicable Permits or other permits or any insurance policies that by their terms or by operation of law would become void, voidable, terminable or revocable or in respect of which Guarantor would be deemed to be in breach or default thereunder if pledged or assigned hereunder or if a security interest therein were granted hereunder, to the extent necessary to avoid such voidness, voidability, revocability, breach or default.

(b) Delivery of Agreements. Guarantor has heretofore delivered or concurrently with the delivery hereof is delivering to Security Agent, an executed counterpart or certified copy of each of the Assigned Agreements in existence on the date hereof. Guarantor will likewise, to the extent required under the Financing Agreement deliver to Security Agent a copy of an executed counterpart or certified copy of each

Additional Project Document and each future lease or future easement relating to the Stetson II Project or any part thereof and amendments and supplements to the foregoing, included in the Collateral, as they are entered into by Guarantor promptly upon the execution thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such Additional Project Document, or material future lease, or other material agreement related to the Stetson II Project may be entered into by Guarantor without the prior written approval of Security Agent, except as otherwise permitted under the Financing Agreement.

(c) Continuing Liability Under Assigned Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) Guarantor shall remain liable under each of the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party to perform all of the obligations undertaken by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and (b) Security Agent shall have no obligation or liability under any of such Assigned Agreements by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, nor shall Security Agent be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of Guarantor thereunder or to make any payment or inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or present or file any claim, or take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time.

(d) Defaults Under Assigned Agreements. If a default by Guarantor under any of the Assigned Agreements shall occur and be continuing, and if such default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect as determined by Administrative Agent (with consent of Required Applicable Lenders), then, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to Guarantor (or, if the applicable Assigned Agreement has a cure period of less than twenty (20) days with respect to defaults, then such ten (10) Business Days notice period shall be reduced to the number of days which is half of the number of days provided to cure any such default under such Assigned Agreement), Security Agent shall, at its option, be permitted (but not obligated) to remedy any such default either pursuant to the terms of any Consent in respect of such Assigned Agreement or otherwise by giving written notice of such intent to Guarantor and to the parties to the Assigned Agreement or Assigned Agreements for which Security Agent intends to remedy the default. After giving such notice of its intent to cure such default and upon the commencement thereof, Security Agent will proceed to cure such default. Any cure by Security Agent of Guarantor’s default under any of the Assigned Agreements shall not be construed as an assumption by Security Agent or any other Secured Party of any obligations, covenants or agreements of Guarantor under such Assigned Agreement or any other Assigned Agreement, and neither Security Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable to Guarantor or any other Person as a result

of any actions undertaken by Security Agent in curing or attempting to cure any such default, except as otherwise set forth in the Financing Agreement or any applicable Consent. This Agreement shall not be deemed to release or to affect in any way the obligations of Guarantor under the Assigned Agreements.

(e) Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling Security Agent to exercise its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under Section 6 at that time or times as Security Agent is lawfully entitled to exercise those rights, remedies, powers and privileges, and for no other purpose, Guarantor hereby grants to Security Agent, to the extent assignable or licensable in a manner consistent with this Agreement and without payment of any royalty or compensation, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Guarantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property of Guarantor, together with reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout of those items.

(f) Preservation of Security Interests. Guarantor shall:

(i) upon the acquisition after the date of this Agreement by Guarantor of any Certificated Securities, Instruments, Deposit Accounts, other Investment Property, Electronic Chattel Paper, Letter-of Credit Rights, Motor Vehicles or other Equipment covered by a certificate of title or ownership promptly (x) take such action with respect to that Collateral as is specified for that type of Collateral in Section 13 and (y) take all such other actions, and authenticate or sign and file or record such other records or instruments, as are necessary or as Security Agent may reasonably request to create, perfect and establish the priority of the liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral, to preserve the validity, perfection or priority of the liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral or to enable Security Agent to exercise its remedies, rights, powers and privileges under this Agreement.

(ii) upon Guarantor’s acquiring, or otherwise becoming entitled to the benefits of, any Intellectual Property or upon or prior to Guarantor’s filing, either directly or through Security Agent, any licensee or any other designee, of any application with any Governmental Authority for any Intellectual Property, in each case after the date of this Agreement, execute and deliver such contracts, agreements and other instruments as Security Agent may reasonably request to create, perfect and establish the priority of the liens granted by this Agreement in that Intellectual Property.

(iii) whether with respect to Collateral as of the date of this Agreement or Collateral in which Guarantor acquires rights in the future, authorize, give, authenticate, execute, deliver, file or record any and all financing statements, notices, contracts, agreements or other records or instruments, obtain any and all Applicable Permits, and take all such other actions, as are necessary or as Security Agent may reasonably request to create, perfect and establish the priority of the liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral, to preserve the validity, perfection or priority of the liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral or to enable Security Agent to exercise and enforce its remedies, rights, powers and privileges under this Agreement.

(iv) furnish to Security Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral pledged by Guarantor hereunder and such other reports in connection with the Collateral pledged by Guarantor hereunder as Security Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(g) Commercial Tort Claims. Guarantor agrees that, if it shall acquire any interest in any Commercial Tort Claim (whether from another Person or because such Commercial Tort Claim shall have come into existence), (i) Guarantor shall, immediately upon such acquisition, deliver to Security Agent, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent, a notice of the existence and nature of such Commercial Tort Claim containing a reasonably specific description of such Commercial Tort Claim, certified by Guarantor as true, correct and complete, (ii) the provisions of Section 3 shall apply to such Commercial Tort Claim (and Guarantor authorizes Security Agent to supplement this Agreement with a description of such Commercial Tort Claim if Guarantor fails to deliver the supplement described in clause (i)), and (iii) Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Security Agent, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent, any certificate, agreement and other document, and take all other action, deemed by Security Agent to be reasonably necessary or appropriate for Security Agent to obtain, on behalf of the Secured Parties, a first-priority, perfected security interest in all such Commercial Tort Claims.

Section 4. Obligations Secured.

This Agreement and all of the Collateral hereunder assigned to Security Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, secure the payment and performance when due of all Obligations to Security Agent and the other Secured Parties under the Financing Documents.

Section 5. Use of Collateral.

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Guarantor reserves the right to, and shall be entitled to, use and possess the Collateral and exercise all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, including under the Assigned Agreements and to receive and use (subject to the terms of the Financing Agreement) all income, profit and other distributions in respect of the Collateral. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Guarantor shall be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property of Borrower in the ordinary course of its business to the extent permitted by the Financing Agreement and the other Operative Documents.

Section 6. Remedies.

(a) Remedies Upon Event of Default. Subject to the terms of the Financing Documents, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Security Agent shall have the right, at its election and at the direction of the Required Applicable Lenders, but not the obligation, to do any of the following:

(i) demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable to or receivable by Guarantor on account of or in exchange for all or any part of the Collateral;

(ii) proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement, including the right to cause all revenues hereby pledged as security and all other moneys pledged hereunder to be paid directly to it, and to enforce its rights hereunder to such payments and all other rights hereunder by such appropriate judicial proceedings as it shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or otherwise, whether for specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement, or in aid of the exercise of any power therein or herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder and sale under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceeding, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in it by this Agreement or by law;

Section 7. Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver.

(a) Remedies Cumulative.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

(b) No Waiver. No delay or omission of Security Agent to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default shall impair any such right or power of Security Agent, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every power and remedy given by this Agreement may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Security Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. Each and every default by Guarantor in payment hereunder shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and Security Agent may enforce its security interest in concurrent or successive actions and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial proceedings, or both.

(c) Use of Agents. Security Agent may perform any of its rights and duties hereunder by or through agents and is entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder.

(c) Guarantor (i) has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Financing Documents, the Assigned Agreements and this Agreement, and to pledge and assign the Collateral; (ii) has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents, the Assigned Agreements and this Agreement; and (iii) has duly executed and delivered the Financing Documents, the Assigned Agreements and this Agreement.

warranties contained in such supplements hereto shall be applicable to such Collateral hereafter delivered.

Guarantor will at its own cost and expense promptly take such action as may be necessary to discharge any such liens.

(c) Without the prior written consent of Security Agent, such consent in respect to modification or amendment not to be unreasonably withheld, or except as otherwise permitted by the Financing Agreement or the other Financing Documents, Guarantor shall not terminate, modify or amend the Assigned Agreements.

Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, Borrower is required to arrange for the establishment of the Collateral Accounts (as defined below) and to deposit, or arrange for the deposit of, cash and other property into the Collateral Accounts as set forth in the Financing Agreement and this Agreement and, pursuant to the Borrower Security and Pledge Agreement, Borrower has granted to the Security Agent a security interest in Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Accounts and the property credited thereto.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of Security Agent, the Secured Parties, or any of their successors or assigns shall be deemed to have assumed or otherwise become liable for any debts or obligations of Borrower or of Member by virtue of the security interest granted hereunder (except to the extent, if any, that Security Agent, any Secured Party or any of their successors or assigns hereafter expressly becomes a member in Borrower).

(e) Consent to Transfer: Member, as the sole member of the Borrower, hereby irrevocably consents (for all purposes under the LLC Agreement) to the transfer of the Membership Interest to any Person upon exercise by the Security Agent of its remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.

(f) Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of Member under this Agreement shall be continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Financing Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than payment in full of the Obligations, subject to Section 2(h)), it being the intent of this Section 2(e) that the obligations of Member hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of Member hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above without regard to and not be released, discharged or in any way affected (whether in full or in part) by:

Should, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any money due or owing under this Agreement not be recoverable from Member for any reason, whether by operation of law or otherwise, then, in any such case, such money shall nevertheless be recoverable by Security Agent from the proceeds of the Collateral as though Member were the principal debtor in respect thereof and not merely a pledgor hereunder.

(g) Waiver.

(ii) The enforceability and effectiveness of this Agreement and the liability of Member, and the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Security Agent, under this Agreement shall not be affected, limited, reduced, discharged or terminated, and Member hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any defense now or in the future arising by reason of:

B. any disability or other defense with respect to all or any part of the Obligations of Borrower or Member, including the effect of any statute of limitations that may bar the enforcement of all or any part of the Obligations;

any sale or disposition of any collateral for all or any part of the Obligations;

F. any failure of Security Agent to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral (other than the Collateral) for all or any part of the Obligations;

G. any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of, or other election of remedies with respect to, any interest in real property or other collateral serving as security for all or any part of the Obligations, even though such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies may impair the subrogation rights of Borrower or Member or may preclude Borrower or Member from obtaining reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or other recovery from Member, Borrower or any other Person and even though Borrower or Member may not, as a result of such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies, be liable for any deficiency;

J. any counterclaim, set-off or other claim which Borrower has or alleges to have with respect to all or any part of the Obligations;

K. any failure of Security Agent to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person;

R. any action taken by Security Agent that is authorized by this Section 2(g)or otherwise in this Agreement or by any other provision of any Financing Document or any omission to take any such action.

(h) Reinstatement. The obligations of Member under this Section 2 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Member 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. Member agrees that it will indemnify Security Agent on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable and reasonably documented fees of counsel) incurred by Security Agent in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(i) Subrogation. Member hereby waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2 and further agrees for the benefit of Security Agent that any such payment by it shall be characterized as a contribution of capital by Member to Borrower (or an

investment in the equity capital of Borrower by Member). If any amount shall be paid to Member on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the indefeasible and unconditional payment, discharge or performance in full of the Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Security Agent (if applicable) and shall forthwith be paid to Security Agent to be credited and applied upon and against the Obligations, to the extent then matured, in accordance with the terms of the relevant Financing Documents or, to the extent not then matured or existing, be held by Security Agent as collateral security for the Obligations.

(j) Remedies. Member agrees that, as between Member and Security Agent, any Obligations of Member to the Secured Parties under any of the Financing Documents to which it is a party may be declared to be forthwith due and payable notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against Borrower or Project Companies, and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower or Project Companies) shall forthwith become due and payable by Member for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any amount payable by Member pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence may be applied to the payment or prepayment (as the case may be) of the Obligations of Borrower or Project Companies, as applicable (whether or not due and payable). Each of the obligations of Member under this Agreement is separate and independent of each other obligation of Member hereunder and separate and independent of the Obligations, and Member agrees that a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted by Security Agent against Member to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought by Security Agent against Borrower or Project Companies under any relevant Financing Document or whether Borrower is or Project Companies are joined in any such action or actions.

(k) Continuing Obligation. The obligations of Member provided in this Section 2 are continuing obligations and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

B. Contracting Party and EWP have entered into that certain Stetson Wind Power Project Transmission Construction Works Contract No. EWPV-07-02, dated as of December 31, 2007, as amended by Change Order Number 001 dated as of August 15, 2008, as further amended by Change Order Number 002 dated as of November 9, 2008, as amended by Change Order Number 003 dated as of November 11, 2008, and as amended by Change Order Number 004, dated as of January 28, 2009 (as additionally amended, amended and restated,

supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, the “Assigned Agreement”).

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree, notwithstanding anything in the Assigned Agreement to the contrary, as follows:

I. ASSIGNMENT AND AGREEMENT.

A. Consent to Assignment.

Contracting Party consents to the collateral assignment under the Security Agreement of all of EWP’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Assigned Agreement (collectively, the “Assigned Interests”). Contracting Party acknowledges the right of Agent, in the exercise of Agent’s rights and remedies pursuant to the Security Agreement, to make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all rights of EWP under the Assigned Agreement.

B. Subsequent Owner.

1. Contracting Party agrees that, if Agent notifies Contracting Party in writing that, pursuant to the Security Agreement, it has assigned, foreclosed or sold the Assigned Interests, then (i) Agent or its successor, assignee and/or designee (a “Subsequent Owner”) shall be substituted for EWP under the Assigned Agreement and (ii) Contracting Party shall (1) recognize Agent or the Subsequent Owner, as the case may be, as its counterparty under the Assigned Agreement and (2) continue to perform its obligations under the Assigned Agreement in favor of Agent or the Subsequent Owner, as the case may be; provided that Agent or such Subsequent Owner, as the case may be, has assumed in writing all of EWP’s rights and obligations (including, without limitation, the obligation to cure any then existing payment and performance defaults, but excluding any obligation to cure any then existing performance defaults which by their nature are incapable of being cured) under the Assigned Agreement.

2. Without limiting anything herein, the warranties provided by Contracting Party under the Assigned Agreement shall continue in full force and effect (until the expiration of the applicable warranty periods set forth in the Assigned Agreement) in the event that Agent or a Subsequent Owner succeeds to EWP’s right, title and interest in the Assigned Agreement.

C. Right to Cure.

If EWP defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under the Assigned Agreement, or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition under the Assigned Agreement which would immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, enable Contracting Party to terminate or suspend its performance under the Assigned Agreement (each hereinafter a “Default”), Contracting Party shall not terminate or suspend its performance under the Assigned Agreement until it first gives written notice of such Default to Agent and affords Agent a period of at least 30 days (this 30 day period, for the avoidance of doubt, being in addition to any cure period granted to EWP to cure such Default under the Assigned Agreement) or if such Default is a nonmonetary default, a period of 60 days (this 60 day period, for the avoidance of doubt, being in addition to any cure period granted to EWP to cure such Default under the Assigned Agreement) from receipt of such notice to cure such Default.

D. Delivery of Notices.

Contracting Party shall deliver notice to Agent when there is a Default by EWP under the Assigned Agreement.

E. Termination.

In the event that the Assigned Agreement is terminated by rejection, or otherwise, during a case in which EWP is the debtor under Title 11, United States Code, or other similar federal or state statute, then, in the event that Agent or its nominee or designee has commenced foreclosure proceedings on the assets of EWP, Contracting Party shall, at the option of Agent and so long as all existing payment defaults by EWP under the Assigned Agreement are cured by Agent or its nominee or designee, enter into a new agreement with Agent or (at the direction of Agent) its nominee or designee having terms substantially identical to the Assigned Agreement,

pursuant to which Agent or its nominee or designee shall have all of the rights and obligations of EWP under the Assigned Agreement.

II. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each of Contracting Party, EWP and Agent hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof that it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the commonwealth or state of its organization and is qualified and in good standing in each other jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect upon its business or financial condition, and it has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business, to own its properties and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Consent.

III. PAYMENTS UNDER THE ASSIGNED AGREEMENT

Contracting Party shall pay all amounts (if any) payable by it under the Assigned Agreement to EWP in the manner and as and when required by the Assigned Agreement directly into the account specified from time to time by Agent to Contracting Party in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any entity or person has become a Subsequent Owner pursuant to the terms hereof, then Contracting Party shall pay all such amounts directly to an account designated by Subsequent Owner.

WHEREAS, it is a requirement under the Financing Agreement that Contracting Party and the other parties hereto shall have executed this Consent.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Consent and Agreement. Contracting Party:

(a) consents to the assignment of the Assigned Interest as collateral security to Agent;

(b) acknowledges the right (but not the obligation) of Agent in the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Financing Agreement to, upon notice to Contracting Party that an “Event of Default” has occurred and is continuing under the Financing Agreement, make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all rights of Assignor under the Agreement, and agrees to accept any such exercise; provided, however, that, insofar as Agent exercises any of its rights under the Agreement or makes any claims with respect to payments or other obligations under the Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Agreement applicable to such exercise of rights or claims shall apply to Agent to the same extent as to Assignor, provided, further, that Agent or its designee, as the case may be, assumes in writing all of Assignor’s obligations under the Agreement and notifies Contracting Party of such assumption;

(c) agrees not to (i) terminate the Agreement or suspend performance of its services thereunder, except as provided in the Agreement or to the extent permitted by law and, in any event with respect to a termination of the Agreement, in accordance with Section 4 of this Consent; (ii) consent to any termination of the Agreement by Assignor without the prior written consent of Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in the Agreement and in accordance with Section 4 of this Consent; or (iii) except as provided in the Agreement (but in any event subject to the assignee or transferee entering into a consent and agreement substantially similar to this Consent), sell, assign or otherwise dispose (by operation of law or otherwise) of any part of its right, title or interest in the Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(d) agrees not to amend, supplement or modify the Agreement in any material respect (excluding routine or immaterial change orders or amendments), without the prior written consent of Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless Contracting Party receives confirmation from Assignor that such amendment, supplement or modification is expressly permitted under the Financing Agreement; and

(e) agrees to promptly deliver to Agent duplicates or copies of all notices of or with respect to default, suspension or termination delivered under or pursuant to the Agreement.

2. Assignor’s Acknowledgement. Assignor acknowledges and agrees that Contracting Party is permitted to perform its obligations under the Agreement upon Agent’s exercise of Assignor’s rights in accordance with this Consent, and that Contracting Party shall

bear no liability to Assignor solely as a result of performing its obligations under the Agreement upon such exercise by Agent.

3. Subsequent Transferee. Contracting Party agrees that, if Agent shall notify Contracting Party in writing that an “Event of Default” under the Financing Agreement has occurred and is continuing and that Agent has elected to exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to the Financing Agreement with respect to the foreclosure (whether judicial or nonjudicial) or sale of the Assigned Interest (or any portion thereof), then Agent or any other purchaser, successor, assignee or designee of the Assigned Interest (as the case may be, in each case, a “Subsequent Transferee”) shall be substituted for Assignor under the Agreement and Contracting Party shall (a) recognize the Subsequent Transferee as its counterparty under the Agreement and (b) continue to perform its obligations under the Agreement in favor of the Subsequent Transferee; provided, however, that such Subsequent Transferee: (i) has elected in writing to assume all of Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Agreement, (ii) has cured any then-existing payment defaults under the Agreement, (iii) has provided credit support and collateral to the extent and in the manner required under the Agreement, (iv) has acquired all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in the Project and (v) is a Permitted Assignee. “Permitted Assignee” shall mean a Person having at least five (5) years experience in the operation and maintenance of electrical generation facilities similar to the Project, which Person shall be reasonably acceptable to Contracting Party. The Subsequent Transferee shall have the right to assign all of its interest in the Agreement to any Person as permitted and under the terms set forth in the Agreement. “Person” means any natural person, corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, limited liability company, firm, association, Governmental Authority or any other entity whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or other capacity.

4. Right to Cure. In the event of a default or breach by Assignor in the performance of any of its obligations under the Agreement, or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition under the Agreement which would immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, enable Contracting Party to terminate the Agreement (hereinafter, a “Default”), Contracting Party shall not terminate the Agreement until it first gives written notice of such Default to Agent (concurrently with the notice of such Default to Assignor) and affords Agent (a) a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to cure such Default if such Default is the failure to pay amounts to Contracting Party which are due and payable under the Agreement or (b) with respect to any other Default, a reasonable opportunity, but no longer than ninety (90) days from receipt of such notice, to cure such non-payment Default (provided that during such cure period Agent or Assignor continues to perform each of Assignor’s other obligations under the Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Default is peculiar to Assignor and not curable by Agent, such as the insolvency, bankruptcy, general assignment for the benefit of the Agent, or appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of Assignor or its properties, then, notwithstanding any right that Contracting Party may have to terminate the Agreement, Agent shall be entitled to assume the rights and obligations of Assignor under the Agreement in accordance with Section 3 within the cure period provided in clause (b) above, and provided such assumption has occurred within such period, Contracting Party shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement as a result of such Default. If possession of the Project is necessary to cure such Default, and Agent or its successor(s), assignee(s) and/or designee(s) declares an Event of Default under the Financing Agreement and commences foreclosure proceedings or any other proceedings necessary to take

possession of the Project, Agent or its successors(s), assignee(s) and/or designee(s) will be allowed a reasonable period to complete such proceedings, provided that, once commenced, Agent or its successor(s), assignee(s) and/or designee(s) shall pursue such proceedings with due dispatch. After taking possession of the Project, Agent or its successor(s), assignee(s) and/or designee(s) shall commence curing such Default within fifteen (15) days after having possession of the Project and thereafter diligently pursue such cure to completion within ninety (90) days after obtaining possession of the Project or such later date, if any, permitted under the terms of the Agreement, as applicable, for the performance of a cure of a Default. If Agent or its successor(s), assignee(s) and/or designee(s) is prohibited by any court order or bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of Assignor from curing the Default or from commencing or prosecuting such proceedings, the foregoing time periods shall be extended by the period of such prohibition.

5. Replacement Agreement. In the event that the Agreement is rejected or terminated as a result of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or the Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a Default which could have been cured by Agent as provided in Section 4, Contracting Party shall, at the option of Agent exercised within forty-five (45) days after such rejection or termination, enter into a new agreement with Agent having terms that are the same in all material respects to those in the Agreement (subject to any conforming changes necessitated by the substitution of parties and other changes as the parties may mutually agree, the “Replacement Agreement”), provided that the term under such Replacement Agreement shall be no longer than the remaining balance of the term specified in the Agreement. Agent shall have the right to assign all of its interest in the Replacement Agreement to any Person in accordance with and subject to Section 3. Upon such assignment, Agent (including its agents and employees) shall be released from any further liability thereunder to the extent of its interest under the Replacement Agreement.

6. No Liability. Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that Agent (and any successor(s), assignee(s), designee(s) other representative of Agent) shall not have any liability or obligation under the Agreement as a result of exercising its rights under this Consent or the Financing Agreement, nor shall Agent (nor any successor(s), assignee(s), designee(s) or other representative of Agent), be obligated or required to perform any of Assignor’s obligations under the Agreement or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned under any document executed in connection with the Financing Agreement, except as provided in Section 1(b) or during any period in which such Person has elected to become a Subsequent Transferee pursuant to Section 3 or counterparty to a Replacement Agreement pursuant to Section 5, in which case such Subsequent Transferee shall assume all of Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Agreement in accordance with Section 3, or, if such Person is a counterparty to a Replacement Agreement, shall cure any Defaults for failure to pay amounts owed under the Agreement but shall not otherwise be required to perform or be subject to any defenses or offsets by reason of any of Assignor’s other obligations under the Agreement that were unperformed at such time unless expressly agreed to in writing by such counterparty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, under no circumstance shall Agent or its successor(s), assignee(s) or designee(s), be liable to Contracting Party for any action taken by it or on its behalf in good faith during the cure period provided for in Section 4, notwithstanding such action may prove to be in whole or in part, inadequate or invalid; provided however the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that to the extent any such action increases the Losses (as defined in the Agreement) of Contracting Party resulting from a default or breach of the

Agreement by Assignor, then such Losses shall be taken into account in determining any payments due under the Agreement as a result of such default or breach.

7. Payment of Monies. Commencing when Agent notifies Contracting Party in writing that Agent has established an account for the deposit of funds, and has directed Contracting Party to make all payments required to be made by it under the Agreement to such account, and so long as the Financing Agreement remains in effect, Contracting Party hereby agrees to make all payments required to be made by it under the Agreement in U.S. dollars, or, if Contracting Party has been notified that an “Event of Default” under the Financing Agreement has occurred and is continuing, to such other Person and/or at such other address or account as the Agent may from time to time specify in writing to Contracting Party and all payments made by Contracting Party shall be accompanied by a statement stating that such payments are made under the Agreement. Assignor hereby instructs Contracting Party, and Contracting Party accepts such instructions, to make all payments due and payable to Assignor under the Agreement as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

8. Representations and Warranties. Contracting Party hereby represents and warrants to Assignor and Agent as of the date of this Consent that:

(a) Contracting Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation/incorporation and has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreement and this Consent;

(c) All government approvals necessary for the execution, delivery and performance by Contracting Party of its obligations under the Agreement have been obtained and are in full force and effect, except those governmental approvals routinely obtained during the ordinary course of business during the execution of the Project;

(d) This Consent and the Agreement are legal, valid and binding obligations of Contracting Party, enforceable against Contracting Party in accordance with their respective terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights in general and except to the extent that the availability of equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought;

(e) Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by, and the binding effect on, Assignor, the Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been amended, supplemented or modified since the date of execution of the Agreement;

(f) To the best of Contracting Party’s knowledge, Assignor has fulfilled all of its obligations under the Agreement, and there are no breaches, Defaults or unsatisfied conditions

presently existing (or which would exist after the passage of time and/or giving of notice) that would allow Contracting Party to terminate the Agreement;

(g) There are no disputes or legal proceedings between Contracting Party and Assignor; and

(h) The representations and warranties of Contracting Party contained in the Agreement are true and correct on the date hereof.

AGREEMENT

II. ASSIGNMENT AND AGREEMENT

A. Consent to Assignment.

Contracting Party consents to the collateral assignment under the Security Agreement of all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Assigned Agreement (collectively, the “Assigned Interest”). Contracting Party acknowledges the right of Agent, in the exercise of Agent’s rights and remedies pursuant to the Security Agreement, to make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all rights of Assignor under the Assigned Agreement.

B. Subsequent Owner.

1. Contracting Party agrees that, if Agent notifies Contracting Party in writing that, pursuant to the Security Agreement, it has assigned, foreclosed or sold the Assigned Interests, then (i) Agent or its successor, assignee and/or designee (a “Subsequent Owner”) shall be substituted for Assignor under the Assigned Agreement and (ii) Contracting Party shall (1) recognize Agent or the Subsequent Owner, as the case may be, as its counterparty under the Assigned Agreement and (2) continue to perform its obligations under the Assigned Agreement in favor of Agent or the Subsequent Owner, as the case may be; provided that Agent or such Subsequent Owner, as the case may be, has assumed in writing all of Assignor’s rights and obligations (including, without limitation, the obligation to cure any then existing payment and performance defaults, but excluding any obligation to cure any then existing performance defaults which by their nature are incapable of being cured) under the Assigned Agreement.

2. Without limiting anything herein, the warranties provided by Contracting Party under the Assigned Agreement shall continue in full force and effect (until the expiration of the applicable warranty periods set forth in the Assigned Agreement) in the event that Agent or a Subsequent Owner succeeds to Assignor’s right, title and interest in the Assigned Agreement.

C. Right to Cure.

If Assignor defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under the Assigned Agreement, or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition under the Assigned Agreement which would immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, enable Contracting Party to terminate or suspend its performance under the Assigned Agreement (each hereinafter a “Default”), Contracting Party shall not terminate or suspend its performance under the Assigned Agreement until it first gives written notice of such Default to Agent and affords Agent a period of at least 30 days (this 30 day period, for the avoidance of doubt, being in addition to any cure period granted to Assignor to cure such Default under the Assigned Agreement) or if such Default is a nonmonetary default, a period of 60 days (this 60 day period, for the avoidance of doubt, being in addition to any cure period granted to Assignor to cure such Default under the Assigned Agreement) from receipt of such notice to cure such Default.

E. Termination.

In the event that the Assigned Agreement is terminated by rejection, or otherwise, during a case in which Assignor is the debtor under Title 11, United States Code, or other similar federal or state statute, then, in the event that Agent or its nominee or designee has commenced foreclosure proceedings on the assets of Assignor, Contracting Party shall, at the option of Agent and so long as all existing payment defaults by Assignor under the Assigned Agreement are cured by Agent or its nominee or designee, enter into a new agreement with Agent or (at the

direction of Agent) its nominee or designee having terms substantially identical to the Assigned Agreement, pursuant to which Agent or its nominee or designee shall have all of the rights and obligations of Assignor under the Assigned Agreement.

E. It is a requirement under the Financing Agreement that GE and the other parties hereto shall have executed this Consent.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Consent and Agreement. GE:

(a) consents to the assignment as collateral security to Security Agent, of the Assigned Interest;

(b) acknowledges the right (but not the obligation) of Security Agent in the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Security Agreement to, upon notice to GE that an Event of Default has occurred and continuing under the Financing Agreement, make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all rights of Assignor under the Assigned Agreement and agrees to accept any such exercise; provided, however, that, insofar as Security Agent exercises any of its rights under the Assigned Agreement or makes any claims with respect to payments or other obligations under the Assigned Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Assigned Agreement applicable to such exercise of rights or claims shall apply to Security Agent to the same extent as to Assignor; provided, further, that Security Agent or its designee, as the case may be, assumes in writing all of Assignor’s obligations under the Assigned Agreement, as applicable, and notifies GE of such assumption;

(c) agrees not to (i) cancel or terminate the Assigned Agreement or suspend performance of its services thereunder, except as provided in the Assigned Agreement or by operation of law and, in any event, except as in accordance with Section (e); (ii) consent to or accept any cancellation or termination of any of the Assigned Agreements by Assignor without the prior written consent of Security Agent; or (iii) sell, assign or otherwise dispose (by operation of law or otherwise) of any part of its right, title or interest in the Assigned Agreement (other than the right to receive payment thereunder), in each case without the prior written consent of Security Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);

(d) agrees to promptly deliver to Security Agent duplicates or copies of all notices of or with respect to default, suspension or termination delivered under or pursuant to the Assigned Agreement.

2. Assignor’s Acknowledgement. Assignor acknowledges and agrees that GE is authorized to perform its obligations under the Assigned Agreement pursuant to Security Agent’s exercise of Assignor’s rights in accordance with this Consent, and that GE shall bear no liability to Assignor in connection therewith.

3. Subsequent Transferee.

(a) GE agrees that, if Security Agent shall notify GE in writing that an Event of Default under the Financing Agreement has occurred and is continuing and that Security Agent has elected to exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to the Security Agreement with respect to the foreclosure (whether judicial or nonjudicial) or sale of the Assigned Interest (or

any portion thereof), then Security Agent or any other purchaser, successor, assignee or designee of the Assigned Interest (as the case may be, in each ease, a “Subsequent Transferee”) shall be substituted for Assignor under the Assigned Agreement and GE shall (i) recognize the Subsequent Transferee as its counterparty under the Assigned Agreement and (ii) continue to perform its obligations under the Assigned Agreement in favor of the Subsequent Transferee; provided, however, that such Subsequent Transferee has elected in writing to assume all of such Assignor’s rights and obligations (including the obligation to cure any then existing payment defaults within the time permitted in the Assigned Agreement subject to Section (d)) under the Assigned Agreement, and has the ability to perform under the Assigned Agreement. The Subsequent Transferee shall have the right to assign all of its interest in the Assigned Agreement to any Person, provided such assignee assumes in writing all obligations of the Subsequent Transferee under the Assigned Agreement, and has the ability to perform thereunder. Upon such assignment, the Subsequent Transferee (including its agents and employees) shall be released from any further liability thereunder to the extent of its interest under the Assigned Agreement.

(b) Without limiting anything herein, the warranties provided by GE under the Assigned Agreement shall continue in full force and effect (until the expiration of the warranty period set forth in the Assigned Agreement, in accordance with the terms in the Assigned Agreement) for the benefit of Security Agent or a Subsequent Transferee, as the case may be, in the event that Security Agent or a Subsequent Transferee succeeds to Assignor’s right, title and interest in the Assigned Agreement.

4. Right to Cure. In the event of a default or breach by Assignor in the performance of any of its obligations under the Assigned Agreement, or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition under the Assigned Agreement which would immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, enable GE to terminate the Assigned Agreement (hereinafter, a “Default”), GE shall not terminate the Assigned Agreement until it first gives written notice of such Default to Security Agent (concurrently with the notice of such Default to Assignor) and affords Security Agent (a) a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to cure such Default if such Default is the failure to pay amounts to GE which are due and payable under the Assigned Agreement or (b) with respect to any other Default, a reasonable opportunity, but no more than ninety (90) days from receipt of such notice, to cure such non-payment Default (provided, that during such cure period Security Agent or such Assignor continues to perform Assignor’s other obligations under the Assigned Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Default is peculiar to Assignor and not curable by Security Agent, such as the insolvency, bankruptcy, general assignment for the benefit of the Lender, or appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of Assignor or its properties, then, notwithstanding any right that GE may have to terminate the Assigned Agreement, Security Agent shall be entitled to assume the rights and obligations of Assignor under the Assigned Agreement within the cure period provided in clause (b) above and provided such assumption has occurred within such period, GE shall not be entitled to terminate the Assigned Agreement as a result of such Default. If possession of the Turbines is necessary to cure such breach or Default, and Security Agent or its successor(s), assignee(s) and/or designee(s) declares an Event of Default under the Financing Agreement and commences foreclosure proceedings or any other proceedings necessary to take possession of the Turbines, Security Agent or its successor(s), assignee(s) and/or designee(s) will be allowed a reasonable period to complete such proceedings; provided that, once commenced, Security

Agent or its successor(s), assignee(s) and/or designee(s) shall pursue such proceedings with due dispatch. After taking possession of the Turbines, Security Agent or its successor(s), assignee(s) and/or designee(s) shall commence curing such breach or Default within fifteen (15) days after having possession of the Turbines and thereafter diligently pursue such cure to completion within ninety (90) days after obtaining possession of the Turbines or such later date, if any, permitted under the terms of the Assigned Agreement, for the performance of a cure of a breach or Default. If Security Agent or its successor(s), assignee(s) and/or designee(s) is prohibited by any court order or bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of such Assignor from curing the Default or from commencing or prosecuting such proceedings, the foregoing time periods shall be extended by the period of such prohibition.

5. Replacement Agreement. In the event that the Assigned Agreement is rejected or terminated as a result of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or the Assigned Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a Default which could have been cured by Security Agent as provided in Section (d), GE shall, at the option of Security Agent exercised within sixty (60) days after such rejection or termination, enter into a new agreement with Security Agent having identical terms as the Assigned Agreement (subject to any conforming changes necessitated by the passage of time, substitution of parties and other changes as the parties may mutually agree, the “Replacement Agreement”); provided that the term under the Replacement Agreement shall be no longer than the remaining balance of the term specified in the Assigned Agreement. Security Agent shall have the right to assign all of its interest in the Replacement Agreement to any Person, provided such assignee assumes in writing all obligations of Security Agent under the Replacement Agreement. Upon such assignment, Security Agent (including its agents and employees) shall be released from any further liability thereunder to the extent of its interest under the Replacement Agreement.

6. No Liability. GE acknowledges and agrees that Security Agent (nor any successor(s), assignee(s), designee(s) other representative of Security Agent) shall have any liability or obligation under the Assigned Agreement as a result of exercising its rights under this Consent, the Security Agreement or the Financing Agreement, nor shall Security Agent (nor any successor(s), assignee(s), designee(s) or other representative of Security Agent), be obligated or required to perform any of Assignor’s obligations under the Assigned Agreement or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned under the Financing Agreement, except during any period in which such Person has elected to become a Subsequent Transferee pursuant to Section (c) or counterparty to a Replacement Agreement pursuant to Section (e), in which case such Subsequent Transferee shall assume all of Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Assigned Agreement in accordance with Section (c), or, if such Person is a counterparty to a Replacement Agreement, shall cure any Defaults for failure to pay amounts owed under the Assigned Agreement but shall not otherwise be required to perform or be subject to any defenses or offsets by reason of any of Assignor’s other obligations under the Assigned Agreement that were unperformed at such time unless expressly agreed to in writing by such counterparty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the sole recourse of GE in seeking the enforcement of any obligations under this Consent, the Assigned Agreement or a Replacement Agreement shall be to any such Subsequent Transferee’s or Replacement Agreement counterparty’s right, title and interest in the Turbines.

7. Representations and Warranties. GE hereby represents and warrants to Assignor and Security Agent, as of the date of this Consent that:

(a) GE is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Assigned Agreement and this Consent;

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by GE of the Assigned Agreement and this Consent have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not and will not require any further consents or approvals which have not been obtained, or violate any provision of any law, regulation, order, judgment, injunction or similar matters or breach any agreement presently in effect with respect to or binding on GE;

(c) All government approvals necessary for the execution, delivery and performance by GE of its obligations under the Assigned Agreement have been obtained and are in full force and effect, except those governmental approvals routinely obtained during the ordinary course of business;

(d) This Consent and the Assigned Agreement are legal, valid and binding obligations of GE enforceable against GE in accordance with their respective terms except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights in general and except to the extent that the availability of equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought;

(e) The Assigned Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been amended, supplemented or modified since the date of execution of the Assigned Agreement;

(f) To the best of GE’s knowledge, Assignor has fulfilled all of its obligations under the Assigned Agreement, and there are no breaches, Defaults or unsatisfied conditions presently existing (or which would exist after the passage of time and/or giving of notice) that would allow GE to terminate the Assigned Agreement;

(g) There are no disputes or legal proceedings between GE and Assignor;

(h) The representations and warranties of GE contained in the Assigned Agreement are true and correct on the date hereof; and

(i) Except pursuant to this Consent and except as expressly provided in the Assigned Agreement, GE has not consented to any pledge, assignment or other transfer of any interest in the Assigned Agreement.

8. Covenants. Security Agent shall promptly provide to GE copies of any notices of default issued by it to Assignor under the Financing Agreement; provided, however, that any failure by Security Agent to provide any such notice in a timely manner shall not affect its substantive rights under this Consent.

of Agent’s rights and remedies pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement, to make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all rights of EWP V under the Assigned Agreement.

B. Subsequent Owner.

1. Each Contracting Party agrees that, if Agent notifies such Contracting Party in writing that, pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreements, it has assigned, foreclosed or sold the Assigned Interests, then (i) Agent or its successor, assignee and/or designee (a “Subsequent Owner”) shall be substituted for such Assignor under the Assigned Agreement and (ii) such Contracting Party shall (1) recognize Agent or the Subsequent Owner, as the case may be, as its counterparty under the Assigned Agreement and (2) continue to perform its obligations under the Assigned Agreement in favor of Agent or the Subsequent Owner, as the case may be; provided that Agent or such Subsequent Owner, as the case may be, has assumed in writing all of such Assignor’s rights and obligations (including, without limitation, the obligation to cure any then existing payment and performance defaults, but excluding any obligation to cure any then existing performance defaults which by their nature are incapable of being cured) under the Assigned Agreement.

Each capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Exhibit A to the Financing Agreement.

B. Subordinated Creditor and Borrower have entered into [SUBORDINATED LOAN OR OTHER AGREEMENT] (as amended, modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Subordinated Agreement”).

C. The Financing Agreement permits Borrower to incur [Subordinated Debt] (as defined in the Financing Agreement) only if Subordinated Creditor shall execute this Agreement and shall subordinate, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, all of the indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower to Subordinated Creditor, including without limitation, payment of principal, interest, fees, expenses and costs arising or incurred under the Subordinated Agreement, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising by operation of [Section [ ] of] the Subordinated Agreement (for the purposes of this Agreement, collectively referred to herein as the “Subordinated Obligation,” which shall be considered Subordinated Debt), to all indebtedness or other obligations of Borrower to Agent and the Lenders arising under the Financing Agreement (herein called the “Obligations”) to the extent set forth in this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and as an inducement to the Lenders to [continue to] grant financial accommodations to Borrower and in consideration of the granting thereof, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

1. Until all Obligations shall have been paid and satisfied in full:

(a) Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, make any payment of principal or interest or any other payment whatsoever on account of, or transfer any collateral for the security of any part of, the Subordinated Obligation until the Obligations have been indefeasible paid and satisfied in full;

Exhibit M

(b) Subordinated Creditor shall not xxx for, or demand or accept from Borrower or any other Person any such payment or collateral, nor take any other action to enforce or collect upon any such payment or to enforce its rights in respect of the Subordinated Obligation, nor cancel, set off or otherwise discharge any part of the Subordinated Obligation; and

(c) Subordinated Creditor shall not otherwise take any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with the Lenders’ priority position over Subordinated Creditor created by this Agreement.

2. The Subordinated Agreement and each instrument evidencing the Subordinated Obligation shall bear a legend providing that payment of the Subordinated Obligation and the priority of any lien thereon has been subordinated to prior payment and satisfaction of the Obligations in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Agreement, and a copy of this Agreement shall be attached to each such instrument.

3. Subordinated Creditor shall not commence or join with any other creditor or creditors of Borrower in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings against Borrower. At any general meeting of creditors of Borrower or in the event of any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, for the distribution, division or application of all or part of the assets of Borrower or the proceeds thereof, whether such proceeding be for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Borrower or its business, a receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or proceeding by or against Borrower for position or extension or otherwise, if all Obligations have not been paid and satisfied in full at the time, Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized at any such meeting or in any such proceeding:

(a) To enforce claims comprising the Subordinated Obligation in the name of Subordinated Creditor, by proof of debt, proof of claim, suit or otherwise;

(b) To collect any assets of Borrower distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment, or such securities issued, on account of the Subordinated Obligation and apply the same, or the proceeds of any realization upon the same that Agent in its discretion elects to effect, to the Obligations until all the Obligations shall have been paid and satisfied in full (Agent hereby agreeing to render any surplus to Subordinated Creditor);

(c) To vote claims comprising the Subordinated Obligation to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension; and

(d) To take generally any action in connection with any such meeting or proceeding to assert, defend or support the position of Subordinated Creditor.

After the commencement of any such bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding, Subordinated Creditor may inquire of Agent in writing whether Agent intends to exercise the foregoing rights with respect to the Subordinated Obligation. Should Agent fail within a reasonable time after receipt of such inquiry (but in any event,

Exhibit M

no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such inquiry) either to file a proof of claim with respect to the Subordinated Obligation and to furnish a copy thereof to Subordinated Creditor, or to inform Subordinated Creditor in writing that Agent intends to exercise its rights to assert the Subordinated Obligation in the manner hereinabove provided, Subordinated Creditor may, but shall not be required to, proceed to file a proof of claim with respect to the Subordinated Obligation and take such further steps with respect thereto, not inconsistent with this Agreement, as Subordinated Creditor may deem proper.

Subject to and from and after the payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations, Subordinated Creditor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Lenders to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of Borrower applicable to the Obligations until all amounts owing on the Subordinated Obligation shall be paid in full, it being understood that the provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Subordinated Creditor and the Lenders. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between Borrower and its creditors other than the Lenders and Subordinated Creditor, the obligation of Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to Subordinated Creditor the principal of and the premium, if any, and the interest on the Subordinated Obligation as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms, or to affect the relative rights of Subordinated Creditor and creditors of Borrower other than the Lenders.

4. Should any payment on account of, or transfer of any collateral as security for any part of, the Subordinated Obligation be received by Subordinated Creditor in violation of this Agreement, such payment or collateral shall be delivered forthwith to Agent by the recipient for application to the Obligations, in the form received. Agent is irrevocably authorized to supply any required endorsement or assignment which may have been omitted. Until so delivered, any such payment or collateral shall be held by Subordinated Creditor in trust for the Lenders and shall not be commingled with other funds or property of Subordinated Creditor.

5. Subordinated Creditor is the lawful owner of the Subordinated Obligation and no part thereof has been assigned to or subordinated or subjected to any other security interest in favor of anyone other than the Lenders. Subordinated Creditor may not assign all or any portion of the Subordinated Obligation without the prior written consent of the Lenders and only upon the execution and delivery to the Lenders of an agreement by any such assignee to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (including the provisions relating to assignment), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

6. Agent is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not Borrower shall have complied with the provisions hereof applicable to it, at any time when Subordinated Creditor shall have failed to comply with any provision hereof applicable to it. Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance hereof in any action brought therefor by Agent. Subordinated Creditor further waives presentment, notice and protest in connection with all negotiable instruments evidencing the Obligations or the Subordinated Obligation to which

Exhibit M

Subordinated Creditor may be a party, notice of the acceptance of this Agreement by Agent, notice of any loan made, extension granted or other action taken in reliance hereon, and all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Agreement, the Obligations or time of payment of the Obligations or the Subordinated Obligation, hereby assents to any renewal, extension of postponement of the time of payment of the Obligations or any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any increase in the amount of the Obligations, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral therefor and to the addition or release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable thereon, and assents to the provisions of any instrument, security or other writing evidencing the Obligations.

7. Borrower and Subordinated Creditor shall execute and deliver to Agent such further instruments and shall take such further action as Agent may at any time reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement.

8. The rights granted to the Lenders hereunder are solely for their protection and nothing herein contained shall impose on Agent or the Lenders any duties with respect to any property Borrower or Subordinated Creditor received hereunder. Neither Agent nor the Lenders shall have any duty to preserve rights against prior parties in any property of any kind received hereunder.

9. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary herein, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that all of the covenants, representations, waivers and other provisions by or relating to Subordinated Creditor hereunder shall apply and be effective to and in respect of the Subordinated Obligation only, and shall not apply or be effective to or in respect of any other obligations, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, by Borrower to Subordinated Creditor.

10. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one agreement. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one counterpart signed by each of the parties hereto.

11. This Agreement is intended to take effect as a sealed instrument, shall be binding upon Borrower, Subordinated Creditor, and their respective executors, administrators, other legal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, their respective successors and assigns and shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to conflicts of laws (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).

12. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Exhibit M

13. This Agreement shall terminate in its entirety upon (a) the payment and satisfaction in full of all the Obligations or (b) the termination or payment and satisfaction in full of all the obligations under the Subordinated Agreement.

14. The terms of subordination set forth in this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any of the Lenders or the Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Where the party to be referred to as “Applicant” in the Standby is not the party actually applying for the Standby, please furnish to BNP Paribas a signed consent acceptable to BNP Paribas from such party consenting to its being referred to in the Standby as “Applicant”.

(5) To avoid delay in delivery to the appropriate party and enable delivery by courier/messenger, please provide the street address of the Beneficiary and an attention party. If you do not wish this information to appear in the Standby or if delivery is to be to a different address from that in the Standby, provide delivery instructions below the Additional Conditions section.

(6) The expiry date of the local guarantee/bond/standby must be at least 15 days earlier than the expiry of the counter-guarantee Standby. Circumstances vary and longer periods may be required in certain countries.
