No adjustment shall be made to the Applicable Transaction Terms at any time following the Initial Closing, other than (A) those Initial Closing Transaction Term Adjustments (if any) set forth in the Initial Closing Portfolio Project Model, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including, if there shall be an Initial Closing Dispute Notice delivered by the Class B Purchaser Representative pursuant to Section 2.16(a), those Initial Closing Transaction Term Adjustments (if any) mutually agreed upon by the Parties (pursuant to Section 2.16(a) or otherwise) or as determined by the Independent Expert pursuant to Section 2.16(g) with respect to matters identified in such Initial Closing Dispute Notice) and (B) those Additional Closing Transaction Term Adjustments (if any) set forth in the Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including, if there shall be an Additional Closing Dispute Notice delivered by the Class B Purchaser Representative pursuant to Section 2.16(c), those Additional Closing Transaction Term Adjustments (if any) mutually agreed upon by the Parties or as determined by the Independent Expert pursuant to Section 2.16(g) with respect to matters identified in such Additional Closing Dispute Notice). Each of the Class A Purchaser and the Company shall use its good faith, commercially reasonable efforts not to (and to cause their respective controlled Affiliates to use their good faith, commercially reasonable efforts not to) take any action prior to the Initial Closing that would reasonably be expected to impact or alter the Pre-Closing Model

Input Updates (and resulting Initial Closing Transaction Term Adjustments, if any), except to the extent required by this Agreement or any Project Financing Document.

(c)No later than ten (10) days prior to the Additional Closing Date (as set forth in the Notice of Additional Closing delivered by the Class A Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.08(a) (or the date such notice is deemed delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(b))), the Class A Purchaser shall deliver to the Class B Purchaser Representative (i) Bring-Down Consultant Reports for any Delayed Projects, to the extent of due diligence reports dated earlier than ninety (90) days prior to such Additional Closing Date (or, in lieu thereof, the Class A Purchaser may deliver written confirmation from the independent engineer or any such applicable consultant that there were no material adverse changes to such engineer’s or consultant’s report used, in part, as the basis for the Execution Date Portfolio Project Model or the Initial Closing Portfolio Project Model, as applicable) (the “Delayed Asset Bring-Down Consultant Reports”) and (ii) the Portfolio Project Model revised, if necessary, to reflect any Additional Closing Model Input Updates, and otherwise prepared in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in Schedule G (the “Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model”); provided that, (A) without the prior written consent of the Class B Purchaser Representative (on behalf of all Class B Purchasers, and upon approval of those Class B Purchasers representing the right to acquire at least a majority of the Additional Aggregate Class B Purchased Units at the Additional Closing (as set forth in Section IV of Schedule A hereto)), the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model shall not reflect any changes to the value of any inputs, assumptions or methodology contained in the Portfolio Project Model from the values of such inputs, assumptions or methodology set forth in the Initial Closing Portfolio Project Model, other than any Additional Closing Model Input Updates and (B) the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model shall utilize each of the same case assumptions used and agreed to in connection with the Initial Closing Portfolio Project Model, as such cases are updated to reflect any Additional Closing Model Input Updates. The first calendar period reflected in the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model shall be adjusted such that the measurement period thereof shall begin, with respect to any Delayed Assets, on the applicable Delayed Asset Closing Date for such Delayed Assets, and otherwise, on the Additional Closing Date. The Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model shall include the proposed resulting adjustments to the Applicable Transaction Terms, in each case, solely to the extent such adjustments result from the Additional Closing Model Input Updates (“Additional Closing Transaction Term Adjustments”), as determined in good faith by the Class A Purchaser in accordance with the procedures set forth in Schedule G. The Class A Purchaser shall provide the Class B Purchaser Representative with an opportunity to comment upon the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model, and the Class A Purchaser shall consider any such comments in good faith and shall make such adjustments (if any) to the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model based on any such comments as the Class A Purchaser shall determine in good faith are appropriate. In the event that the Class A Purchaser determines not to make adjustments to the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model based on any of the comments provided by the Class B Purchaser Representative, then at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Additional Closing Date, the Class B Purchaser Representative (on behalf of all Class B Purchasers, and upon approval of those Class B Purchasers representing the right to acquire at least a majority of the Additional Aggregate Class B Purchased Units at the Additional Closing (as set forth in Section IV of Schedule A hereto)), shall have the right to submit to the Class A Purchaser a written dispute notice with respect to the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model (describing in reasonable detail the specific line items and values that are in dispute and the

reasons for such dispute) (any such written notice, the "Additional Closing Dispute Notice”). All such disputed items set forth in an Initial Closing Dispute Notice shall be resolved, together with all disputed items set forth in an Additional Closing Dispute Notice, pursuant to Section 2.16(f) and/or Section 2.16(g). If the Class B Purchaser Representative does not deliver a Dispute Notice to the Class A Purchaser at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Additional Closing Date, then the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model shall be final and binding on the Parties and deemed to be the “Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model” for all purposes of this Agreement and no adjustment shall be made thereto.

(d)The Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model delivered by the Class A Purchaser, subject to adjustment to reflect changes, if any, made by the Class A Purchaser, after considering in good faith any comments made by the Class B Purchaser Representative pursuant to Section 2.16(c), shall be utilized by the Parties in determining the Additional Aggregate Class B Purchase Price, and shall be final and binding on the Parties with respect thereto, except to the extent of any disputed items specified in an Additional Closing Dispute Notice delivered by the Class B Purchaser Representative in accordance with Section 2.16(c). Except for any disputes set forth in an Additional Closing Dispute Notice delivered at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Additional Closing Date, the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model shall be deemed to be the Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Applicable Transaction Terms shall be adjusted prior to the Additional Closing only if, and to the extent, adjustments to any such Applicable Transaction Terms were included as Additional Closing Transaction Term Adjustments in the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model as delivered by the Class A Purchaser and as were mutually agreed upon by the Parties prior to the Additional Closing. No adjustment shall be made to the Applicable Transaction Terms at any time following the Additional Closing, other than those Additional Closing Transaction Term Adjustments (if any) that are finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including, if there shall be an Additional Closing Dispute Notice with respect to the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model delivered by the Class B Purchaser Representative pursuant to Section 2.16(c), those Additional Closing Transaction Term Adjustments (if any) mutually agreed upon by the Parties (pursuant to Section 2.16(f)) or as determined by the Independent Expert pursuant to Section 2.16(g) with respect to matters identified in such Additional Closing Dispute Notice). Each of the Class A Purchaser and the Company shall use its good faith, commercially reasonable efforts not to (and to cause their respective Affiliates to use their good faith, commercially reasonable efforts not to) take any action prior to the Additional Closing that would reasonably be expected to impact or alter the Additional Closing Model Input Updates (and resulting Additional Closing Transaction Term Adjustments, if any), except to the extent required by this Agreement or any Project Financing Document.

(e)Notwithstanding any other provision herein, in the event that, following the Initial Closing, the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Additional Closing are validly terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i), Section 7.01(b)(ii) or Section 7.01(b)(iii) prior to the occurrence of the Additional Closing (including as a result of the failure of one or more conditions set forth in Section 2.09, Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 to be satisfied or waived), then, notwithstanding such failure to consummate the Additional Closing, the Parties shall revise the Initial Closing Portfolio Project Model pursuant to the terms of Section 2.16(c) and in accordance with the assumptions and procedures set forth in Schedule G to account for such changes to the Initial Closing Portfolio Project Model as shall be required to reflect any applicable Additional Closing Model Input Updates and the fact that the Additional Class B Units Sale did not occur.

(f)If the Class B Purchaser Representative timely delivers a Dispute Notice with respect to the Initial Closing Portfolio Project Model pursuant to Section 2.16(a) or the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model pursuant to Section 2.16(c), then the Class A Purchaser and the Class B Purchaser Representative shall in good faith attempt to resolve the particular items and values or Transaction Term Adjustments that are identified in the applicable Dispute Notice within ten (10) Business Days commencing on the date on which the applicable Dispute Notice is delivered to the Class A Purchaser (or such longer period as the Class A Purchaser and the Class B Purchaser Representative may mutually agree in writing, which period shall not extend beyond the Initial Closing Date, as set forth in the Notice of Initial Closing, or the Additional Closing Date, as set forth in the Notice of Additional Closing, as applicable) (such period, the “Negotiation Period”). If the Class A Purchaser and the Class B Purchaser Representative (on behalf of all Class B Purchasers, and upon approval of those Class B Purchasers representing the right to acquire at least a majority of the Initial Aggregate Class B Purchased Units at the Initial Closing (as set forth in Section III of Schedule A hereto), or those Class B Purchasers representing the right to acquire at least a majority of Additional Aggregate Class B Purchased Units at the Additional Closing (as set forth in Section IV of Schedule A hereto), as applicable) do not reach agreement on each of the particular items and values set forth in the applicable Dispute Notice during the Negotiation Period, then subject to Section 2.16(g), (A) for purposes of the Initial Closing, the Initial Updated Portfolio Project Model proposed by the Class A Purchaser shall be used for the Initial Closing and the Parties shall thereafter resolve any Remaining Disputed Matters in accordance with Section 2.16(g) and (B) for purposes of the Additional Closing, (i) the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model shall include only such Additional Closing Model Input Updates (if any), and (ii) the Applicable Transaction Terms shall be modified to reflect only such Additional Transaction Adjustments (if any), in each case, as (y) shall not have been disputed by the Class B Purchaser Representative in the Dispute Notice or (z) as shall have been agreed upon by the Parties during the Negotiation Period (the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model, as may be adjusted as of the Additional Closing to reflect any changes referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.16(f), the “Interim Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model”).

(g)To the extent that any particular items or values identified in a Dispute Notice are not agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.16(f) (such items or values, collectively, the “Remaining Disputed Matters”), then either the Class A Purchaser or the Class B Purchaser Representative shall be entitled to submit any such Remaining Disputed

Matters to the Independent Expert for resolution of such dispute by delivering a written notice to the Independent Expert, with a copy to the other Party, describing in reasonable detail the specific line items and values comprising the Remaining Disputed Matters (and the reasons for such dispute) and such Party’s proposed resolution (and value) of each Remaining Disputed Matter. The other Party shall be entitled to submit to the Independent Expert its proposed resolution (and value) of each Remaining Disputed Matter (and reasons therefor). In submitting any Remaining Disputed Matters to the Independent Expert, each of the Parties shall concurrently furnish, at its own expense, to the Independent Expert and the other Party such documents and information as the Independent Expert may reasonably request. The Class A Purchaser and the Class B Purchaser Representative and their respective representatives shall cooperate fully with the Independent Expert, at their own expense. The Independent Expert, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall resolve all Remaining Disputed Matters and shall determine the values to be ascribed thereto, following the procedures stipulated in this Section 2.16 and the assumptions and procedures set forth in Schedule G, and the resulting updates to the Initial Closing Portfolio Project Model and/or the Interim Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Initial Closing Portfolio Project Model and Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model shall be updated by the Parties as necessary to reflect any change in value ascribed to such specific disputed items that are determined by the Independent Expert, as applicable. The Parties hereby agree that the Independent Expert shall (A) decide only the values ascribed to the specific Remaining Disputed Matters in accordance with this Section 2.16 and the assumptions and procedures set forth in Schedule G (provided that the Independent Expert shall not ascribe a value to any Remaining Disputed Matter that is (i) greater than the greater of the two amounts submitted by the Parties for such Remaining Disputed Matter, or (ii) lower than the lowest of the two amounts submitted by the Parties for such Remaining Disputed Matter) and (B) within thirty (30) days after submission of any such dispute, deliver to the Class A Purchaser and the Class B Purchaser Representative a written determination of the amounts for each of the Remaining Disputed Matters, determined in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.16 and the assumptions and procedures set forth in Schedule G, including any resulting Transaction Term Adjustments (including all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and based solely on information provided to the Independent Expert by the Class B Purchaser Representative and the Class A Purchaser). The determination of the Independent Expert pursuant to this Section 2.16(g) shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and their respective Affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Expert will be borne equally by the Class A Purchaser and the Class B Purchaser Representative. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the dispute resolution mechanism contained in this Section 2.16(g) shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes, if any, regarding the determination of the Portfolio Project Model, in each case, in respect of any Remaining Disputed Matters, and the resulting adjustments to be made, if any, to the Applicable Transaction Terms in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the assumptions and procedures in Schedule G); provided, however, that, at any time, the Class A Purchaser and the Class B Purchaser Representative (on behalf of all Class B Purchasers, and upon approval of those Class B Purchasers representing the right to acquire at least a majority of the Additional Aggregate Class B Purchased Units at the Additional Closing (as set forth in Section IV of Schedule A hereto)) may agree in writing to settle any or all of the Remaining Disputed Matters submitted to the Independent Expert, which agreement shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all of the Parties with respect to such Remaining Disputed Matter(s) so resolved; provided that the Parties

shall promptly provide a copy of such agreement to the Independent Expert and instruct the Independent Expert not to consider or resolve such agreed-upon Remaining Disputed Matter(s), it being agreed that if the Independent Expert nonetheless renders any determination regarding any such agreed-upon Remaining Disputed Matter(s) for any reason, such determination shall have no effect and the agreement of the Parties shall control.

(h)Upon a final determination of any items or values set forth in a Dispute Notice pursuant to this Section 2.16 and in accordance with the assumptions and procedures set forth in Schedule G, each of the Parties shall execute such amendments to this Agreement and/or the A&R LLC Agreement as are necessary to reflect all such finally determined Transaction Term Adjustments. If any final resolution of items or values set forth in a Dispute Notice (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.16 and in accordance with the assumptions and procedures set forth in Schedule G) shall include, as Transaction Term Adjustments, an adjustment to the amount of the Class B Purchase Price, then (A) if such Transaction Term Adjustments include a reduction of the Class B Purchase Price, then, on the next date on which distributions are made to the Class A Purchaser pursuant to Article 5 of the A&R LLC Agreement (and, if necessary, on each subsequent distribution date until such Excess Purchase Price Amount has been paid in full) an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the amount of such reduction (the “Excess Purchase Price Amount”) shall be withheld and offset from the amount of distributions payable to the Class A Purchaser and instead shall be paid by the Company to the Class B Purchasers on such same distribution date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.08(b) of the A&R LLC Agreement (each, a “Class B Purchase Price Return Offset”) and (B) if such Transaction Term Adjustments include an increase to the Class B Purchase Price, then, on the next date on which distributions are made to the Class B Purchasers pursuant to Article 5 of the A&R LLC Agreement (and, if necessary, on each subsequent distribution date until such Deficit Purchase Price Amount has been paid in full), an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the amount of such increase (as finally resolved in accordance with this Section 2.16) (the “Deficit Purchase Price Amount”) shall be withheld and offset from the amount of distributions payable to the Class B Purchasers and instead shall be paid by the Company to the Class A Purchaser on such same distribution date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.08(b) of the A&R LLC Agreement (each, a “Deficit Class B Purchase Price Offset”) unless, prior to the applicable Distribution Date, the Class B Purchasers shall have made payment in full to the Class A Purchaser of the amount of such Deficit Purchase Price Amount.

(i)The Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.16, shall be deemed to be the Portfolio Project Model for all purposes of this Agreement. All payments made in respect of a Class B Purchase Price Return Offset or Deficit Class B Purchase Price Offset, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.16(h) shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Class B Purchase Price for all purposes of this Agreement, including Tax purposes unless otherwise required by law.

which such Delayed Project actually achieved Commercial Operation (the date on which the Delayed Asset Closing actually occurs with respect to a Delayed Project and the related Delayed Assets, its “Delayed Asset Closing Date”), from the date on which such Commercial Operation was estimated to occur in the Initial Closing Portfolio Project Model.

(c)If a Delayed Asset Closing for any Delayed Project shall not have occurred on or prior to the earlier of (i) the Delayed Asset Outside Date and (ii) the Additional Closing Date (each such Delayed Project, a “Returned Project”), then (A) the Class A Purchaser and the Company shall take all action necessary to cause all right, title and interest in and to the Delayed Assets with respect to a Delayed Project Company that owns such Returned Project shall be returned and transferred by the applicable Acquired Company to Sellco II or to an Affiliate of Sellco II designated by Sellco II to the extent permitted under the applicable Project Financing Documents, (B) such Returned Project shall be permanently excluded from the portfolio of the Projects that are the subject of the acquisition hereunder, and (C) the Initial Additional Closing Portfolio Project Model shall be adjusted to reflect the Delayed Asset Return Changes pursuant to Section 2.16(c).

(b)Each Purchaser agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and NEP from and against any and all claims, demands, or liabilities for broker’s, finder’s, placement, or other similar fees or commissions incurred by such Purchaser or alleged to have been incurred by such Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.03 Indemnification Procedure.

(a)A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by prompt notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this Article VI, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced as a result of such failure, and except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02.

(b)Promptly after any NEP Related Party, Purchaser Related Party, or the Company, as applicable (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit, or proceeding by a third person which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such Third-Party Claim, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such Third-Party Claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall

promptly, and in no event later than ten (10) days, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records, and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has, within ten (10) Business Days of when the Indemnified Party provides written notice of a Third-Party Claim, failed (1) to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (2) to notify the Indemnified Party of such assumption or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there are reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.

(c)The amount of any recovery by any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VI will be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually received by such Indemnified Party under any applicable insurance policy and any indemnification or other payments actually received by such Indemnified Party under any applicable indemnification or other agreements or arrangements, in relation to the facts that entitled such Indemnified Party to recover from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VI. In the event that any Indemnified Party receives recovery of any amount pursuant to any such insurance policy or indemnification or other agreement or arrangement in respect of any Losses after such Indemnified Party has already been paid for such Losses pursuant to this Article VI, the Class A Purchaser, the Class B Purchasers, NEP or the Company, as applicable, will cause such Indemnified Party to promptly refund an amount equal to such recovery to the Indemnifying Party (but not in excess of the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party for such Losses pursuant to this Article VI).

Section 6.04 Tax Characterization. All indemnification payments under this Article VI shall be treated, with respect to the Class A Purchaser, as adjustments to the Class A Purchase Price or, with respect to each Class B Purchaser, as pro rata adjustments to each of such Class B Purchaser’s Initial Individual Class B Purchase Price and the Additional Individual Class B Purchase Price actually paid as of the time of such indemnification payments by such Class B Purchaser to the

Class A Purchaser at the Initial Closing and the Additional Closing, as applicable, for all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(a)If (i) this Agreement is validly terminated by the Class A Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(iii) and the conditions to the Initial Closing set forth in Section 2.03 and Section 2.04 have been satisfied or validly waived prior to such termination (other than (A) those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Initial Closing, but subject to those conditions being capable of being satisfied if the Initial Closing were to occur on the date of termination, and (B) those conditions that are not satisfied as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the Class B Purchasers), (ii) at the time of such termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(iii), the condition set forth in Section 2.05(b) or Section 2.06(b) is not satisfied due to a breach by any Class B Purchaser of this Agreement, and (iii) the Class A Purchaser has delivered an irrevocable Notice of Initial Closing to the Class B Purchasers and (A) such Notice of Initial Closing provides for an Initial Closing to occur on the date that is at least five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Class B Purchasers of the Notice of Initial Closing and (B) the Class A Purchaser has confirmed that, if the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded on such date it stands ready, willing, and able to consummate the Initial Closing, then the Class B Purchaser Representative, on behalf of all of the Class B Purchasers, will pay or cause to be paid to the Class A Purchaser (or its designee(s)) an amount equal to the Termination Fee.

(b)If (i) this Agreement is validly terminated by the Class A Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iii) and the conditions to the Additional Closing set forth in Section 2.09 and Section 2.10 have been satisfied or validly waived prior to such termination (other than (A) those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Additional Closing (including the condition set forth in Section 2.10(e) that the Additional Funding Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall occur on the Additional Closing Date), but subject to those conditions being capable of being satisfied if the Additional Closing were to occur on the date of termination, and (B) those conditions that are not satisfied are as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the Class B Purchasers), (ii) at the time of such termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iii), the condition set forth in Section 2.11(b) is not satisfied due to a breach by any Class B Purchaser of this Agreement, and (iii) the Class A Purchaser has delivered an irrevocable Notice of Additional Closing to the Class B Purchasers and (A) such Notice of Additional Closing provides for an Additional Closing to occur on the date that is five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Class B Purchasers of the Notice of Additional Closing and (B) the Class A Purchaser has confirmed that if the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded on such date it stands ready, willing, and able to consummate the Additional Closing, then the Class B Purchaser Representative, on behalf of all of the Class B Purchasers, will pay or cause to be paid to the Class A Purchaser (or its designee(s)) an amount equal to the Additional Closing Termination Fee.

(c)If the Termination Fee or the Additional Closing Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 7.03(a) or Section 7.03(b), as applicable, the Class B Purchaser Representative, on behalf of all of the Class B Purchasers, will pay, or cause to be paid, such fee to the Class A Purchaser (or its designee(s)) by wire transfer of immediately available funds on or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the date on which this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 7.03(a) or Section 7.03(b), as applicable. The Company and each of the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 7.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and without these

agreements the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement and (ii) any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.03 are a reasonable approximation of the Class A Purchaser’s damages and do not constitute a penalty. In the event of litigation relating to the payment of the Termination Fee or the Additional Closing Termination Fee, as applicable, and upon final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable decision, the non-prevailing party in such litigation shall reimburse the prevailing party’s reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred in connection therewith up to a maximum of one million U.S. dollars ($1,000,000). Subject to the right of the Company to specific performance of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.12, the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that payment of the Termination Fee or the Additional Closing Termination Fee, as applicable, if due, and the payment in full of any reimbursement, expense, or interest obligations pursuant to this Section 7.03 and the Termination Fee ECL, if any, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of NEP, the Company and the Class A Purchaser against the Class B Purchasers and their Affiliates in connection with the termination of this Agreement, or the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated at the Additional Closing.

(d)The Class B Purchasers have delivered to the Company a correct and complete copy of the executed equity commitment letter (the “Termination Fee ECL”) from the Sponsor to provide funding to the Class B Purchasers sufficient to satisfy their obligations set forth in this Section 7.03, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7.03 and the Termination Fee ECL in respect of the Termination Fee and the Additional Termination Fee. The Termination Fee ECL provides that each of the Company and NEP is a third party beneficiary thereof. As of the Execution Date, the Termination Fee ECL is in full force and effect and has not been amended or modified in any respect, and the commitments contained in the Termination Fee ECL have not been withdrawn, modified, reduced, or rescinded in any respect. As of the Execution Date, the Termination Fee ECL constitutes a valid, binding, and enforceable obligation of the Class B Purchasers, and, to the Knowledge of the Class B Purchasers, the Sponsor, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7.03 and the Termination Fee ECL, and except as may be limited by Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). This Agreement and the Termination Fee ECL constitutes the entire agreement between the parties thereto related to the Termination Fee, and there are no side letters, other agreements, or other arrangements that would permit the applicable parties to the Termination Fee ECL to reduce the amount of the Termination Fee or that would otherwise affect the availability of the Termination Fee subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7.03 and the Termination Fee ECL. As of the Execution Date, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to (A) constitute a default or breach on the part of the Class B Purchasers under the Termination Fee ECL or, to the Knowledge of the Class B Purchasers, Sponsor under the Termination Fee ECL, (B) constitute or result in a failure to satisfy a condition or other contingency set forth in the Termination Fee ECL, or (C) otherwise result in any portion of the Termination Fee not being available, except as provided in this Section 7.3 in connection with the Additional Closing Termination Fee. The Class B Purchasers have fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Termination Fee ECL and any other document entered into in connection with, or related thereto, to be paid on or before the Execution Date.

In connection with a sale of Conversion Units by a Class B Purchaser in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, such Class B Purchaser or its broker shall deliver to NEP a broker representation letter providing to NEP any information NEP deems necessary to determine that the sale of such Conversion Units is made in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including, as may be appropriate, a certification that the Purchaser is not an Affiliate of NEP (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act) and a certification as to the length of time the such units have been held (taking into account any applicable tacking periods under Rule 144). Upon receipt of such representation letter, NEP shall promptly remove the notation of a restrictive legend in such Purchaser’s book-entry account maintained by NEP, including the legend referred to in Section 4.05(d), and NEP shall bear all costs associated with the removal of such legend in NEP’s books. At such time as the Conversion Units have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or have been held by any Purchaser for more than one (1) year where such Purchaser is not, and has not been in the preceding three (3) months, an Affiliate of NEP (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), if the book-entry account of such Purchaser still bears the notation of the restrictive legend referred to in Section 4.05(d), NEP agrees, upon request of the Purchaser or its permitted assignee, to take all steps necessary to promptly effect the removal of the legend described in Section 4.05(d), and NEP shall bear all costs associated with the removal of such legend in the books of NEP regardless of whether the request is made in connection with a sale or otherwise, so long as such Purchaser or its permitted assignee provides to NEP any information NEP deems reasonably necessary to determine that the legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state Laws, including (if there is no such registration statement) a certification that the holder is not an Affiliate of NEP (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), a covenant to inform the Company or NEP if it should thereafter become an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act) and to consent to the notation of an appropriate restriction, and a certification as to the length of time such units have been held. NEP shall cooperate with each Purchaser to effect the removal of the legend referred to in Section 4.05(d) at any time such legend is no longer appropriate.

Cash during such Quarter if such Tax Equity Repurchase had not occurred; and (3) payment on such Tax Equity Repurchase Loans must be subordinated, upon liquidation of the Company, to liquidating distributions to holders of Class B Units until such liquidating distributions to Class B Members shall be in an amount equal to the then-outstanding principal amount (if any), all accrued interest (if any) then payable under the Credit Agreement and all other amounts (if any) then owing under any Class B Permitted Loan Financing (plus any amounts required to be paid by such Class B Members constituting amounts owed by such Class B Members as termination payments or unpaid amounts under any Permitted Hedging Transaction in connection with such Class B Permitted Financing). In the event that any Member (other than the Tax Equity Repurchasing Member) elects not to make a Tax Equity Repurchase Loan in the full amount of its Distribution Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Tax Equity Repurchase Loans (as set forth in the Tax Equity Repurchase Loan Notice), then the other Members shall have the right to fund their pro rata share of the shortfall through Tax Equity Repurchase Loans up to the full amount necessary to effect such Tax Equity Repurchase. The Company shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, accept any such Tax Equity Repurchase Loan and use the proceeds of such Tax Equity Repurchase Loan, without the consent of any other Member, to effect such Tax Equity Repurchase.

(c) Following any Capital Call for the purpose of funding the payment of Taxes assessed with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Required Tax Payment”), each Member shall have the option (but not the obligation), without the consent of any other Member (but with prior notice to the Managing Member and each other Member), to make (or cause one of its Affiliates to make) one or more unsecured loans to the Company or such Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Company specified in such Capital Call to provide funding to the Company or such Subsidiary or Subsidiaries to pay such Required Tax Payment in an amount equal to such Member’s Distribution Percentage of the full amount necessary to effect such Required Tax Payment, as specified in such Capital Call (each such loan, a “Tax Payment Loan”). In the event a Member elects not to make a loan to fund its full Distribution Percentage of the amount necessary to pay such Required Tax Payment, then the other Members shall have the right to fund their pro rata share of the shortfall through Tax Payment Loans up to the full amount necessary to pay all such Required Tax Payment. The Company shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Company to, accept such Tax Payment Loan and use the proceeds of such Tax Payment Loan to make the applicable Required Tax Payment.

The Company shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Company to, accept any such Working Capital Loan and use the proceeds thereof for its working capital or credit needs.

4.07 Return of Contributions. Except as expressly provided herein, a Member is not entitled to the return of any part of its Capital Contributions or to be paid interest in respect of either its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions.

(e) For all purposes of this Section 5.01, the aggregate number of Class B Units acquired by NEP Member (or its nominees) pursuant to one or more exercises of the Call Option, NEP Change of Control Option, or Class B COC Option shall be measured separately on each Distribution Date. From and after (i) the Effective Date, for so long as NEP Member (or any of its nominees) holds any of the Class B Units that NEP Member acquired on the Effective Date and (ii) any Call Option Closing Date, Change of Control Closing Date, or Class B COC Closing

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

5.02 Distributions of Amounts Other than Available Cash. The Managing Member shall calculate the amount of any Build-Out Payments, Post-Effective Date Excess Insurance Proceeds, Sale Proceeds, Bankruptcy Recoveries, and Star Moon Holdings Liquidation Proceeds received by the Company from time to time and, to the extent legally permitted, including pursuant to Section 18-607 of the Act, shall cause the Company to distribute any and all such amounts in immediately available funds, within fifteen (15) days following the end of the month in which any such amounts are received by the Company, to the holders of Class A Units and Class B Units in accordance with the allocation of distributions of Available Cash between holders of Class A Units and Class B Units pursuant to Section 5.01 in effect for the Distribution Date immediately following the date of the Company’s receipt of such amounts.

5.03 Distributions on Dissolution and Winding-Up. Upon a Dissolution Event, all available proceeds distributable to the Members as determined under Section 12.02 shall be distributed in the following order: (a) first, to each Member pro rata in accordance with the positive balance, if any, of such Member’s Capital Account (determined without regard to the allocations made pursuant to Section 12.02(b)), until each Member has received such positive balance, (b) second, to each Member based upon its respective Unreturned Contribution Percentage until the amount distributed to such Member, together with any amounts distributed pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 5.03, equals the aggregate Unreturned Contribution of such Member; (c) third, to the Class B Members (including, for the avoidance of doubt, NEP Class B Parties), pro rata in accordance with their respective Class B Percentage Interests, until such Class B Members have received distributions pursuant to this clause (c) of this Section 5.03 that, together with any amounts distributed pursuant to clause (a) and clause (b) of this Section 5.03, results in an Internal Rate of Return to such Class B Members, measured from the applicable Acquisition Date to the date of dissolution, of [five and sixty-one hundredths percent (5.61%)]; and (d) fourth, any and all remaining proceeds after payment of the amounts specified in clauses (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 5.03, to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their respective Class A Percentage Interests.

5.04 Allocations.

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

(a) For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 4.08, except as provided in Section 5.04(b) or Section 12.02(b), for each Fiscal Year or other applicable period, including any Distribution Adjustment Period or any Post-Flip Date Distribution Period, the Net Profits and Net Loss of the Company, including each item of income, gain, loss, credit, and deduction, shall be allocated among the Members as follows:

(i) for the period from the Effective Date up to the first Distribution Adjustment Date and, if applicable, for any subsequent period during which Available Cash is required, pursuant to Section 5.01(b) or Section 5.01(c), to be distributed in the same proportions as set forth in Section 5.01(a) (any such period, an “Initial Distribution Period”), [thirty-five percent (35%)] in the aggregate to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their respective Class A Percentage Interests, and [sixty-five percent (65%)] in the aggregate to the Class B Members, pro rata in accordance with their respective Class B Percentage Interests; and

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), in connection with a Liquidity Event, the Net Profits or Net Loss of the Company (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss and deduction) resulting from such Liquidity Event shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with the respective amounts distributed to such Members pursuant to Section 7.09(d) and Section 5.01.

The Managing Member may adopt any reasonable measures, conventions, and assumptions to give effect to the allocations required by this Section 5.04 for any Distribution Adjustment Period or any Post-Flip Date Distribution Period.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.04(a):

(i) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in the same proportions as the allocations of Net Profits and Net Loss were made for the Fiscal Year or other applicable period pursuant to Section 5.04(a).

(ii) Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated to the Members bearing the Economic Risk of Loss for such

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

Member Nonrecourse Debt as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4). If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk of Loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt, the Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members according to the ratio in which they bear the Economic Risk of Loss. This Section 5.04(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain for an allocation period (or if there was a net decrease in Minimum Gain for a prior allocation period and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this Section 5.04(b)(iii)), items of income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in such Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(2)). This Section 5.04(b)(iii) is intended to constitute a minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Section 5.04(b)(iii) (dealing with Minimum Gain), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for an allocation period (or if there was a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for a prior allocation period and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this Section 5.04(b)(iv)), items of income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). This Section 5.04(b)(iv) is intended to constitute a partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(v) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Section 5.04(b)(i) and Section 5.04(b)(ii), no losses or other items of expense shall be allocated to any Member to the extent that such allocation would cause such Member to have a deficit Capital Account balance (or increase any existing deficit Capital Account balance) at the end of the allocation period in excess of the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(iv). All losses and other items expense in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.04(b)(v) shall be allocated to the Members who do not have a deficit Capital Account balances in excess of the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(iv) in proportion to their relative positive Capital Accounts but only to the extent that such losses and other items of expense do not cause any such Member to have a deficit Capital Account balance in excess of the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(iv).

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

(vi) If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) resulting in a Capital Account deficit for such Member in excess of the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(iv), items of income and gain will be specially allocated to such Member in any amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, such Capital Account deficit of the Member as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.04(b)(vi) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account balance in excess of the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(iv) after all other allocations provided for in this Article 5 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.04(b)(vi) were not in this Agreement. The items of income or gain to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). This subsection (vi) is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be applied and interpreted in accordance with such Treasury Regulations.

(vii) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining the Capital Accounts of the Members under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss will be specially allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(viii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any and all state Tax credits of the Company that may be claimed with respect to the output of any direct or indirect asset of a Tax Equity Entity or otherwise shall be allocated to, and solely for the account of, NEP Member.

(ix) The allocations set forth in Section 5.04(b)(i) through Section 5.04(b)(viii) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to distribute the cash of the Company or allocate Company income or loss. Accordingly, the Managing Member is hereby authorized to allocate items of income, gain, loss, and deduction to the Members so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which cash is distributed among the Members. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction to the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations and the Regulatory Allocations to the Members shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated among the Members if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. However, the Managing Member shall have discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable manner, and in exercising this discretion, the

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

Managing Member shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 5.04(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made thereunder.

(c) To the maximum extent possible, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.04(c), all items of Company income, gain, loss, and deduction for federal income Tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members for such purposes in the same manner in which the corresponding items computed for Capital Account purposes are allocated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) and Section 5.04(b). Income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to property contributed to the Company by a Member or revalued pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Book Value” shall be allocated among the Members in a manner that seeks to eliminate, by use of the “remedial method” pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d), the variation between the adjusted Tax basis of such property and its Book Value as required by Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).

5.05 Varying Interests. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the Persons shown on the records of the Company to have been Members as of the last day of the period for which the allocation or distribution is to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Member Disposes of a Membership Interest during a Fiscal Year, the Net Profits or Net Loss of the Company, and each item of income, gain, loss, credit, and deduction, allocated to such Member and its Assignee for such Fiscal Year or other applicable period will be made between such Member and its Assignee in accordance with Section 706 of the Code using any convention permitted by Section 706 of the Code and selected by the Managing Member.

5.06 Amounts Withheld. The Company is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions to the Members and to pay over to any federal, state, or local Governmental Authority any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other applicable Law and shall allocate such amounts to the Members with respect to which such amounts were withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other applicable Law with respect to any payment, distribution, or allocation to the Company or the Members shall, to the extent properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as amounts paid or distributed pursuant to this Article 5 to the Members with respect to which such amount was withheld. To the extent operation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.06 would create a negative balance in a Member’s Capital Account (or increase the amount by which such Capital Account balance is negative), such Member shall indemnify the other Members and the Company for such withholding.

5.07 Other Payments.

(a) Any and all Pre-Effective Date Excess Insurance Proceeds, Subcontractor Delay Liquidated Damages, amounts in respect of Network Upgrades, High Banks Transmission Proceeds, APA Post-Closing Adjustment Payments, and Loss Reduction Amounts (but only to the extent attributable to Loss Reduction Activities occurring prior to the Initial Closing), in each case, received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be paid in immediately available

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

funds to NEP Member promptly following receipt thereof by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary (and the payment of such amounts shall not constitute a distribution pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, or Section 5.03, or otherwise for any purposes of the Act, nor shall there be any adjustment to NEP Member’s Capital Account in respect of any such payment, pursuant to Section 4.08 or otherwise).

(b) Any and all Tax Equity Proceeds received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be paid in immediately available funds to NEP Member promptly following receipt thereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (and the payment of such amounts shall not constitute a distribution pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, or Section 5.03, or otherwise for any purposes of the Act, nor shall there be any adjustment to NEP Member’s Capital Account in respect of any such payment, pursuant to Section 4.08 or otherwise).

(c) Any and all State Tax Credit Payments received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be paid in immediately available funds to NEP Member promptly following receipt thereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (and the payment of such amounts shall not constitute a distribution pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, or Section 5.03, or otherwise for any purposes of the Act, nor shall there be any adjustment to NEP Member’s Capital Account in respect of any such payment, pursuant to Section 4.08 or otherwise).

5.08 Purchase Price Offset.

(a) If it is determined pursuant to Section 2.16(h) of the Purchase Agreement that there is an Excess Purchase Price Amount, then all distributions payable thereafter to NEP Member pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, or Section 5.03 shall be subject to offset by the Company (the “Class B Purchase Price Return Offset”) in an aggregate amount equal to the Excess Purchase Price Amount. The Excess Purchase Price Amount shall be withheld from payment of all such distributions to NEP Member and shall be promptly paid by the Company to the Class B Members on the date of each such distribution payment in satisfaction of the payment of such Excess Purchase Price Amount before any distributions on Class A Units are paid to the holders of Class A Units pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, or Section 5.03, until the aggregate amount withheld from distributions to NEP Member pursuant to this Section 5.08(a) equals the Excess Purchase Price Amount. NEP Member hereby consents to such Class B Purchase Price Return Offset and hereby waives any right to receive payment of any distributions subject to such Class B Purchase Price Return Offset in an amount equal to the Excess Purchase Price Amount. The aggregate amount withheld and paid in accordance with this Section 5.08(a) shall be treated as having been distributed to the Class A Members for all purposes of this Agreement, including the calculation of Capital Accounts under Section 4.08.

(b) If it is determined pursuant to Section 2.16(h) of the Purchase Agreement that there is a Deficit Purchase Price Amount, then all distributions payable thereafter to the Class B Members pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, or Section 5.03 shall be subject to offset by the Company (the “Deficit Class B Purchase Price Offset”) in an aggregate amount equal to the Deficit Purchase Price Amount. Unless the Class B Members have previously paid, or caused to be paid, in full such Deficit Purchase Price Amount in cash to NEP Member prior to the first Distribution Date following the final determination of a Deficit Purchase Price Amount pursuant

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

to the Purchase Agreement, the Deficit Purchase Price Amount shall be withheld from payment of all distributions to the Class B Members and shall be promptly paid by the Company to NEP Member on the applicable Distribution Date in satisfaction of the payment of such Deficit Purchase Price Amount before any distributions on Class B Units pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, or Section 5.03 may be paid to holders of Class B Units until the aggregate amount withheld from distributions to Class B Members pursuant to this Section 5.08(b) equals the Deficit Purchase Price Amount; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.08(b), prior to any Class B Permitted Loan Financing Payment in Full, the Deficit Purchase Price Amount shall not be withheld from distributions to the Class B Members and instead shall be paid to NEP Member to the extent that funds are available under priority “Sixth” of Section 2.21(b) of the Credit Agreement and until the aggregate amount paid equals the Deficit Purchase Price Amount (or, if the Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement has been refinanced by any other Class B Permitted Loan Financing, the Deficit Purchase Price Amount shall be paid in a substantially equivalent priority order as provided for in the documentation for such Class B Permitted Loan Financing).

to be necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of the Company, including the authority to bind the Company in making Contracts and incurring obligations in the Company’s name in the course of the Company’s business, without the need for approval by or any other consent from any other Member.

Except for those matters that, pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement, require the consent or approval of Members, no Member (other than the Managing Member) shall have the right to vote, approve, or consent to any matter whatsoever, including any other matter that otherwise requires approval of Members under the Act, and each Member (other than the Managing Member) hereby waives any and all other voting, approval, and consent rights with respect to the Company, other than those rights expressly provided in this Agreement. The Managing Member may delegate to one or more Persons all or any part of its power, authority, and duties as Managing Member hereunder, including, subject to Section 6.03(p) and Section 6.04, pursuant to any management services agreement the Managing Member or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may enter into with any Affiliate of the Managing Member or the Company, except for such power and authority to consent to Major Decisions and any other matters expressly requiring a vote by or consent of the Members (other than the Managing Member) pursuant to this Agreement, which power and authority to consent or vote on such matters will be expressly retained by such Members.

6.02 Standard of Care.

(a) Except for those duties expressly set forth in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, no Member (including the Managing Member) shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Company or any other Member, and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the Managing Member or any other Member otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to restrict or eliminate to such extent, such duties and liabilities of the Managing Member and such other Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall eliminate or limit (i) the express contractual provisions set forth herein or (ii) the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(b) Each Member acknowledges its express intent, and agrees with each other Member for the mutual benefit of all the Members, that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement:

(i) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Member (including the Managing Member), in its capacity as Member (or the Managing Member, as applicable), nor any of such Member’s or any of its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, stockholders, managers, members, partners, Affiliates, employees, Representatives, or agents shall have any fiduciary duty to the Company, any other Member, or any other Person in connection with the Company, the business and affairs of the Company, any act, omission, or decision in connection therewith, or any consent or approval given or withheld pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

(ii) the provisions of this Section 6.02 will apply for the benefit of each Member (including the Managing Member), and, subject to Section 6.02(d) and the applicable Decision Standard set forth in Section 6.03 with respect to the matters set forth therein, no standard of care, duty, or other legal restriction or theory of liability shall limit or modify the right of any Member (including the Managing Member) to vote in the manner determined by such Member in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without cause, subject to such conditions as it shall deem appropriate, and without taking into account the interests of, and without incurring liability to, the Company, any other Member, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, managers, members, partners, officers, or employees.

(c) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, but except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Member hereby releases and forever discharges each other Member (including the Managing Member) and its Affiliates from all liabilities that such other Member or its Affiliates might owe, under the Act or otherwise, to the Company, the releasing Member, or its Affiliates on the ground that any decision of such other Member (including the Managing Member) to grant or withhold any vote, consent, or approval constituted the breach or violation of any standard of care, any fiduciary duty, or any other legal restriction or theory of liability applicable to such other Member or its Affiliates; provided, however, that nothing herein shall eliminate any Member’s liability for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.02 shall limit or waive any Claims against, Actions, rights to xxx, other remedies, or other recourse of the Company, any Member, or any other Person may have against any Member for a breach of contract claim relating to any binding agreement, including any breach of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, whenever the Managing Member makes a determination or takes or declines to take (or causes or permits the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) any other action, in its capacity as such as opposed to in its individual capacity, then, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, the Managing Member shall make such determination or take or decline to take (or cause or permit the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards (including fiduciary standards) imposed by this Agreement. A determination or other action or inaction will conclusively be deemed to be in “good faith” for all purposes of this Agreement, if the Managing Member in making such determination or taking or declining to take (or causing or permitting the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) such other action (i) reasonably believes that the determination or other action or inaction is in the best interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) does not take or decline to take (or cause or permit the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) such action with intent to benefit any other business now owned or hereafter acquired by the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates to the detriment of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(a) Except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.03, in the event that NEP Member or the Class B Member Representative (such Member, the “Notifying Member”) determines in good faith that a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant of Sellco under the XXXX/NEP APA has occurred and that such breach forms the basis for an Indemnification Claim (as defined in the XXXX/NEP APA) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the XXXX/NEP APA entitling the Purchaser (as defined in the XXXX/NEP APA) to payment in respect thereof, then

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

the Notifying Member shall provide NEP Member or the Class B Member Representative, as applicable, with prompt written notice thereof (such notice, a “Potential Claim Notice”), specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such Claim, including the provisions of the XXXX/NEP APA giving rise to such breach and under which such Indemnification Claim may be brought, a reasonable estimate of the amount of Losses incurred as a result of such breach, and a reasonably detailed description of any other relevant facts or circumstances (and copies of all material documents relating to such Claim of which such Notifying Member is aware and has access, including, in the case of Indemnification Claims based on any pending Third Party Claim (as defined in the XXXX/NEP APA), copies of all relevant pleadings, demands, and other court filings relating to such Third Party Claim).

(b) In the event that NEP Member, on behalf of the Company, commences an Action against Sellco with respect to an Indemnification Claim, NEP Member shall, subject to the following provisions of this Section 6.04(b), be exclusively entitled to undertake and control the prosecution of such Action and shall prosecute such Action in good faith; provided that NEP Member (i) shall not settle, or enter into any agreement to settle such Indemnification Claim or such Action without Class B Member Approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and (ii) shall permit the Class B Member Representative to be present at and to actively participate in any meetings, teleconferences, or other communications between NEP Member and Sellco (or any of Sellco’s Affiliates) with respect to such Indemnification Claim or such Action. NEP Member shall keep the Class B Member Representative informed of the status of such Indemnification Claim and promptly provide the Class B Member Representative with any updates thereto and shall have the right to select counsel and other Representatives, to be retained by the Company, in connection with such Indemnification Claim; provided that such selection of counsel shall be subject to Class B Member Approval (not to be unreasonably

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

withheld, conditioned, or delayed). The Company shall be solely responsible for payment of all fees and expenses incurred in prosecuting such Action, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other Representatives retained by the Company and shall reimburse and indemnify NEP Member and the Class B Members and the Class B Member Representative for their respective out-of-pocket fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with any such Indemnification Claim.

(c) In the event that Sellco makes any payment in respect of an Indemnification Claim under the XXXX/NEP APA (any such payment, an “APA Indemnity Payment”) to NEP Member or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries), then, promptly following NEP Member’s (or any such Affiliate’s) receipt of such APA Indemnity Payment, NEP Member shall pay to the Class B Member Representative (for further payment to the Class B Members) the Class B Members’ pro rata portion of such APA Indemnity Payment, which portion shall be determined in accordance with the allocation of distributions of Available Cash between holders of Class A Units, on the one hand, and holders of Class B Units, on the other hand, pursuant to Section 5.01, as in effect for the Distribution Date immediately following the date of the Company’s receipt of such APA Indemnity Payment. Such payment shall be made by NEP Member by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three (3) Business Days following such Distribution Date, and each Class B Member shall be entitled to receive from the Class B Member Representative prompt payment of their respective Class B Percentage Interest of the total amount NEP Member paid to the Class B Member Representative pursuant to the foregoing, and for all purposes of this Agreement such amounts shall be deemed distributions under Section 5.02.

6.05 Officers. The Managing Member may from time to time as it deems advisable appoint officers of the Company to act on behalf of the Company and assign in writing titles (including president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer) to any such person, and any such assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the authorities and duties that are normally associated with such title. Each such officer shall hold office until his successor shall have been duly appointed or until his death, resignation, or removal. Any such officer may be removed by the Managing Member at any time for any reason, with or without cause, in its sole discretion.

Any such Covered Person shall fully cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s expense, in its efforts to enforce against any such third party the rights to which it is so subrogated.

(d) The Company, as an indemnifying party from time to time, agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, its obligation to indemnify Covered Persons under this Agreement shall apply to any amounts expended by any other indemnitor under any other agreement in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses to any Covered Person in connection with any Claims to the extent such amounts extended by such other indemnitor are on account of any unpaid indemnity amounts hereunder.

(e) The right of any Covered Person to the indemnification provided herein is cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Covered Person may otherwise be entitled by Contract or as a matter of Law or equity, and extend to such Covered Person’s successors, assigns, and legal representatives.

(f) If this Section 6.08 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction or properly constituted arbitration panel, then the Company shall nonetheless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless each Person entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.08 as to liabilities to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 6.08 that shall not have been invalidated.

No fractional NEP Common Units or Non-Voting NEP Common Units, as the case may be, will be issued. The Members agree that each Call Option Closing shall be subject to the receipt of all applicable Required Governmental Authorizations. In the event any such Required Governmental Authorizations shall not have been obtained by the date that is otherwise scheduled to be the Call Option Closing Date, then such Call Option Closing Date shall automatically be delayed until such date as all such Required Governmental Authorizations have been obtained and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Call Option Purchase Price set forth in the Call Option Notice shall be calculated from the applicable Acquisition Date of the Class B Units to be purchased until the date of the actual Call Option Closing.

(h) Each Class B Member hereby agrees that, in connection with each Call Option Closing, such Class B Member (or its Affiliates) shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain Qualifying Financing and shall borrow the maximum amount allowable thereunder in order to have sufficient cash, together with any Call Option Cash Consideration and all other cash on hand and all Cash Equivalents of the Class B Member, to repay the portion of such Class B Member’s then outstanding Indebtedness under any Class B Permitted Loan Financing (including the net amount of any termination payments and unpaid amounts under any Permitted Hedging Transactions and any other breakage costs, termination fees, and other payments due and payable under such Class B Permitted Loan Financing in connection with such repayment), and to cause the release of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer arising under this Agreement and under applicable securities Laws) on the Class B Units being acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Call Option. To the extent that the net proceeds from the Qualifying Financing, together with any Call Option Cash Consideration (net of any deductions or withholdings therefrom pursuant to Section 7.02(m)) and any other cash on hand and Cash Equivalents of the applicable Class B Member, are insufficient to repay in full all Indebtedness

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

under such Class B Permitted Loan Financing that is required to be repaid (including the net amount of any termination payments and unpaid amounts under any Permitted Hedging Transactions and any other breakage costs, termination fees and other payments due and payable under such Class B Permitted Loan Financing in connection with such repayment) as a result of the exercise of such Call Option (such deficiency, a “Call Option Cash Shortfall”), then such Class B Member shall use reasonable best efforts to remedy such Call Option Cash Shortfall as promptly as practicable by obtaining Qualifying Financing (or additional Qualifying Financing) in an amount required to remedy the Call Option Cash Shortfall. The Members agree that, if any Class B Permitted Loan Financing is outstanding at such time, each Call Option Closing shall be subject to there being no Call Option Cash Shortfall. If there is a Call Option Cash Shortfall and the applicable Class B Members are unable, using reasonable best efforts to secure Qualifying Financing or to refinance the existing Qualifying Financing with another Qualifying Financing, to remedy the Call Option Cash Shortfall by the Call Option Closing Date set forth in the applicable Call Option Notice (the “Scheduled Call Option Buyout Date”), then the applicable Call Option Closing shall automatically be delayed for a period (a “Call Option Delay Period”) commencing on the Scheduled Call Option Buyout Date and ending upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Call Option Closing, (ii) written revocation of the applicable Call Option Notice by NEP Member delivered to the Class B Member Representative, and (iii) the date falling ten (10) Business Days after the Scheduled Call Option Buyout Date. During any such Call Option Delay Period, the Class B Members shall use reasonable best efforts to secure Qualifying Financing, or to refinance the existing Qualifying Financing with another Qualifying Financing, to remedy the Call Option Cash Shortfall associated with the exercise of such Call Option; provided, however, that, at any time and from time to time during such Call Option Delay Period, NEP Member shall be entitled to modify the proportions of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.02(b)) to be used to pay the Call Option Purchase Price at the applicable Call Option Closing, upon notice thereof delivered to the Class B Member Representative on or after the Scheduled Call Option Buyout Date. If the Class B Members are able, using their reasonable best efforts, to obtain Qualifying Financing in an amount sufficient to remedy the Call Option Cash Shortfall, then (A) the Class B Member Representative shall promptly deliver written notice thereof (a “Call Option Cash Shortfall Remedy Notice”) to NEP Member, (B) the applicable Call Option Closing shall occur as promptly thereafter as practicable, and (C) at the applicable Call Option Closing, the amount of the Call Option Purchase Price and the Issuance Price for Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.02(b)) to be issued as payment (or partial payment) of the applicable Call Option Purchase Price shall be the same as is set forth in the original Call Option Notice; provided, however, that, if no Call Option Cash Shortfall Remedy Notice is delivered within the first five (5) Business Days following the Scheduled Call Option Buyout Date, then (1) NEP Member and the Class B Members shall thereafter cooperate in good faith to remedy the applicable Call Option Cash Shortfall (provided that the foregoing shall not require NEP or NEP Member to take any actions to remedy such Call Option Cash Shortfall other than such cooperation with the Class B Members); (2) NEP Member shall continue to be entitled, at any time and from time to time during such Call Option Remedy Period, to modify the proportions of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.02(b)) to be used to pay the Call Option Purchase Price (and to further modify such proportions if previously modified); (3) the applicable Call Option Closing

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

shall occur as promptly as practicable following NEP Member’s receipt of a Call Option Cash Shortfall Remedy Notice; and (4) at the applicable Call Option Closing (if any) (y) the Call Option Purchase Price shall be calculated from the applicable Acquisition Date of the Class B Units to be purchased to the date on which such Call Option Closing actually occurs, and (z) the Issuance Price of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.02(b), if any, to be issued as payment (or partial payment) of the applicable Call Option Purchase Price shall be the price set forth in the original Call Option Notice.

(i) Following consummation of the Call Option Closing pursuant to which all of a Class B Member’s Class B Units are acquired by NEP Member (or its nominee), the Managing Member will amend this Agreement to reflect the withdrawal of such Class B Member and the transfer of the Class B Units effective as of the applicable Call Option Closing.

(j) If, in the exercise of any Call Option, (i) the Class B Member Representative has not delivered notice to NEP Member pursuant to Section 7.02(n) that it wishes for NEP Member (or its nominee) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Blocker Interests of a Blocker and (ii) the number of Class B Units to be purchased is less than all of the outstanding Class B Units and there are multiple holders of such Class B Units, then the Class B Units so purchased will be acquired pro rata from the Class B Members (other than NEP Class B Parties) based on the number of such Class B Units held.

(k) Each Member agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, the Managing Member, and NEP to effect the Call Option Closing, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all applicable Governmental Authorizations, terminating and releasing all Encumbrances on the Class B Units (other than restrictions on transfer arising under this Agreement and under applicable securities Laws), and entering into any agreements and instruments and executing any certificates or other documents the Managing Member reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to consummate the Disposition of the Class B Units. The Class B Members and NEP agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Transfer Agent to record the issuance of NEP Common Units and Non-Voting NEP Common Units, as the case may be, to such Class B Members (or their nominee(s)). Investor agrees that it shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) seek Qualifying Financing in accordance with this Section 7.02 and cause the Call Option Closing to occur as promptly as practicable (it being agreed that Investor shall not be required to seek any additional capital contributions from its equity holders or Affiliates or any other financing other than Qualifying Financing in accordance with this Section 7.02) and (ii) keep NEP Member reasonably informed of developments in Investor’s efforts to obtain Qualifying Financing.

(l) For all purposes of this Agreement, the Class B Members agree that, until the earlier of the date that (A) the Class B Permitted Loan Financing Payment in Full occurs, or (B) the Flip Date occurs, the Class B Members shall not incur Indebtedness, under the Credit Agreement or any other Class B Permitted Loan Financing (including any Indebtedness under any Permitted Hedging Transaction) or otherwise, with a principal amount in excess of (i) the amount of Indebtedness borrowed under the Credit Agreement on the Effective Date, plus the amount of Indebtedness subsequently incurred under the Credit Agreement in connection with the Additional Closing or otherwise, or on terms not less favorable to the Class A Members, plus

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

amounts under any Permitted Hedging Transaction, in each case, to the extent permitted by, and pursuant to, the terms of the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Effective Date, plus (ii) the amount of any Qualifying Financings entered into by any Class B Member pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement. The Class B Members further agree that they shall not take any actions or omit to take any actions that cause, permit, or result in Encumbrances on the Class B Units, including Encumbrances securing Indebtedness, other than under the Credit Agreement or under any related loan documents (or under any replacements thereof which are entered into in connection with any Class B Permitted Loan Financing) and under any Permitted Hedging Transaction.

(m) NEP Member or its nominee shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from each Call Option Purchase Price the amounts each NEP Member or its nominee is required to deduct and withhold under any applicable Law, and amounts so withheld and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall be deemed paid for all purposes of this Agreement to the Person with respect to which such amount was withheld; provided that any such amounts shall be specified by NEP Member in the applicable Call Option Notice; provided, further, that if, on the Call Option Closing Date, the Class B Members deliver to NEP Member or its nominee withholding certificates pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2) and, in the case of a sale of the Class B Units, IRS Notice 2018-29, that the Class B Member (or if such entity is a disregarded entity, its regarded owner) is not a non-U.S. person, NEP Member or its nominee shall not withhold any amounts under Section 1445 or Section 1446(f) of the Code unless there is a change in applicable Law prior to the Call Option Closing Date that requires such withholding.

(n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.02(a), with respect to any and all Class B Units to be purchased pursuant to a Call Option that are held directly or indirectly by any Blocker, so long as (i) Investor Parent or any of its Affiliates Controls the Blocker Parent of such Blocker; (ii) at all times prior to the applicable Call Option Closing, the only assets of the applicable Blocker (other than cash) are Class B Units, which Class B Units shall be held by such Blocker in a Proportionate Class B Allocation; (iii) the applicable Blocker has engaged in no business activities other than its organizational activities and acquiring, financing, accepting, owning, and holding, directly or indirectly, Class B Units; and (iv) on the applicable Call Option Closing Date, the applicable Blocker has no liabilities, then, if the Class B Member Representative provides notice to NEP Member within two (2) calendar days of receipt of such Call Option Notice that it wishes for NEP Member (or its nominee) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of such Blocker (collectively, the “Blocker Interests”) pursuant to the exercise of such Call Option, NEP Member (or its nominee) shall to purchase, and Blocker Parent shall be required to sell, all of the Blocker Interests of the applicable Blocker that holds, directly or indirectly, the Proportionate Class B Allocation of the applicable Class B Units to be purchased pursuant to such Call Option, rather than a direct purchase of the outstanding Class B Units held (directly or indirectly) by such Blocker, on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth herein for the purchase of Class B Units pursuant to the Call Option, and Investor and Blocker Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless NEP Member and its Affiliates from and against any and all Claims arising out of or relating to such Blocker or Class B Member. At the applicable Call Option Closing, Blocker Parent will convey all right, title, and interest in and to the applicable Blocker Interests (and indirectly the Class B Units held by such

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

Blocker), free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable securities Laws), to NEP Member or its nominee and will take all actions necessary to withdraw as a member of the applicable Blocker and cause NEP Member to be admitted as the sole member of such Blocker and sole record and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding Blocker Interests of such Blocker. If the Class B Member Representative exercises the option to have Blocker Interests purchased as set forth in this Section 7.02(n), the applicable references elsewhere in this Section 7.02 to Class B Units or to a Class B Member selling Class B Units shall be to the applicable Blocker Interests and Blocker Parent, respectively, and the other terms of this Section 7.02 shall apply mutatis mutandis, and Investor, the Class B Members, Blocker Parent, and NEP Member will take all actions necessary to effect the Call Option Closing as the purchase of Blocker Interests rather than the purchase of Class B Units.

7.03 Change of Control of NEP.

(a) If, at any time, there is an announcement of a proposed Change of Control of NEP (or the entry into any agreement providing therefor), then each Class B Member shall have the right (but not the obligation) to deliver to NEP Member at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the Change of Control of NEP is to be consummated (such date, the “Change of Control Closing Date”) a notice executed by such Class B Member (the “Change of Control Notice”) of such Class B Member’s exercise of its right under this Section 7.03 to require NEP Member to acquire all or any portion of the Class B Units held by such Class B Member at a purchase price for each Class B Unit for which such election is made that results in a return to such Class B Member of at least an Internal Rate of Return on each such Class B Unit purchased pursuant to this Section 7.03, measured from the applicable Acquisition Date to the Change of Control Closing Date, of [six and sixty-one hundredths percent (6.61%)] (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.03 (the “NEP Change of Control Option”).

(b) To exercise its rights pursuant to Section 7.03(a), a Class B Member shall deliver to NEP Member a Change of Control Notice containing the anticipated Change of Control Closing Date, the number of Class B Units to be purchased, and the Change of Control Purchase Price per Class B Unit. NEP Member may pay the Change of Control Purchase Price, at its option, in either cash, Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units if the holder of Class B Units to be purchased requests in writing, not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Change of Control Closing Date, the issuance of NEP Common Units), or a combination of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units if the holder of Class B Units to be purchased requests in writing, not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Change of Control Closing Date, the issuance of NEP Common Units); provided, however, that the Change of Control Purchase Price may be paid in the form of a security that is substantially equivalent to the NEP Common Units in terms of rights, preferences and privileges, including with respect to economics, governance, transferability and liquidity, if, as a result of the Change of Control of NEP, NEP will cease to exist or the NEP Common Units will cease to be listed on a National Securities Exchange; provided, further, that, if no substantially equivalent security exists on the applicable Change of Control Closing Date, the Change of Control Purchase Price must be paid entirely in cash. If some or all of the Change of Control Purchase

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

Price consists of NEP Common Units or Non-Voting NEP Common Units, the Issuance Price for each such NEP Common Unit or Non-Voting NEP Common Unit will be specified as the lesser of (A) the 10-day VWAP of the NEP Common Units on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the proposed Change of Control of NEP and (B) the listed price of a NEP Common Unit as of the end of trading on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the proposed Change of Control of NEP. The closing of the acquisition of the Class B Units identified in the Change of Control Notice (the “Change of Control Closing”) shall occur on the Change of Control Closing Date unless NEP Member notifies the Class B Members exercising their rights under this Section 7.03 that the Change of Control Closing shall occur on a different date.

(c) At the Change of Control Closing, (i) each Class B Member exercising the NEP Change of Control Option will convey the Class B Units identified in the applicable Change of Control Notice, free of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer arising under this Agreement and under applicable securities Laws), to NEP Member or its nominee; (ii) NEP Member or its nominee will pay the cash portion, if any, of the Change of Control Purchase Price to such Class B Member (or its nominee(s)) by wire transfer of immediately available funds; and (iii) the remaining portion, if any, of the Change of Control Purchase Price shall be paid by issuing NEP Common Units, Non-Voting NEP Common Units, or a substantially equivalent security, as determined pursuant to Section 7.03(b), to such Class B Member no later than three (3) Business Days after the date of the Change of Control Closing, and, in connection therewith, NEP shall instruct, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, its Transfer Agent to record the issuance of such NEP Common Units or Non-Voting NEP Common Units, as the case may be, to such Class B Member (or its nominee(s)). No fractional NEP Common Units or Non-Voting NEP Common Units, as the case may be, will be issued. The Members agree that the Change of Control Closing shall be subject to the receipt of all applicable Required Governmental Authorizations. In the event any such Required Governmental Authorizations shall not have been obtained by the date that is otherwise scheduled to be the date of the Change of Control Closing, then such date of the Change of Control Closing shall automatically be delayed until such date as all such Required Governmental Authorizations have been obtained and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Change of Control Purchase Price set forth in the Change of Control Notice shall be calculated from the applicable Acquisition Date of the Class B Units to be purchased until the Change of Control Closing Date.

(d) Each Class B Member hereby agrees that, in connection with the Change of Control Closing, such Class B Member (or its Affiliates) shall use any cash portion of the Change of Control Purchase Price and all cash on hand and all Cash Equivalents of such Class B Member to repay all of such Class B Member’s then outstanding Indebtedness under any Class B Permitted Loan Financing (including the net amount of any termination payments and unpaid amounts under any Permitted Hedging Transactions and any other breakage costs, termination fees, and other payments due and payable under such Class B Permitted Loan Financing in connection with such repayment), and to cause the release of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer arising under this Agreement and under applicable securities Laws) on the Class B Units being acquired pursuant to the exercise of such NEP Change of Control Option. To the extent that the cash portion (if any) of the Change of Control Purchase Price (net of any

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

deductions or withholding required under applicable Law) and all cash on hand and all Cash Equivalents of the applicable Class B Member are insufficient to repay in full all Indebtedness under such Class B Permitted Loan Financing that is required to be repaid (including the net amount of any termination payments and unpaid amounts under any Permitted Hedging Transactions and any other breakage costs, termination fees and other payments due and payable under such Class B Permitted Loan Financing in connection with such repayment) as a result of the exercise of such NEP Change of Control Option (such deficiency, a “Change of Control Cash Shortfall”), then such Class B Member shall use reasonable best efforts to remedy such Change of Control Cash Shortfall as promptly as practicable by obtaining Qualifying Financing in an amount required to remedy the Change of Control Cash Shortfall. The Members agree that, if any Class B Permitted Loan Financing is outstanding at such time, each Change of Control Closing shall be subject to there being no Change of Control Cash Shortfall. If there is a Change of Control Cash Shortfall and the applicable Class B Members are unable, using reasonable best efforts, to secure Qualifying Financing or to refinance the existing Qualifying Financing with another Qualifying Financing by the date on which the Change of Control Closing is scheduled to occur (the “Scheduled Change of Control Buyout Date”), then the applicable Change of Control Closing shall automatically be delayed for a period (a “Change of Control Delay Period”) commencing on the Scheduled Change of Control Buyout Date and ending upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Change of Control Closing, (ii) written revocation of the applicable Change of Control Notice by the Class B Member delivered to NEP Member, and (iii) the date falling ten (10) Business Days after the Scheduled Change of Control Buyout Date. During any such Change of Control Delay Period, the Class B Members shall use reasonable best efforts to secure Qualifying Financing, or to refinance the existing Qualifying Financing with another Qualifying Financing, to remedy the Change of Control Cash Shortfall associated with the exercise of such NEP Change of Control Option; provided, however, that, at any time and from time to time during such Change of Control Delay Period, NEP Member shall be entitled to modify the proportions of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.03(b)) to be used to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price at the applicable Change of Control Closing, upon notice thereof delivered to the Class B Member Representative on or after the Scheduled Change of Control Buyout Date. If the Class B Members are able, using their reasonable best efforts, to obtain Qualifying Financing in an amount sufficient to remedy the Change of Control Cash Shortfall, then (A) the Class B Member Representative shall promptly deliver written notice thereof (a “Change of Control Cash Shortfall Remedy Notice”) to NEP Member, (B) the applicable Change of Control Closing shall occur as promptly thereafter as practicable, and (C) at the applicable Change of Control Closing, the amount of the Change of Control Purchase Price and the Issuance Price for Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.03(b)) to be issued as payment (or partial payment) of the applicable Call Option Purchase Price shall be the same as is set forth in the original Change of Control Notice; provided, however, that, if no Change of Control Cash Shortfall Remedy Notice is delivered within the first five (5) Business Days following the Scheduled Change of Control Buyout Date, then (1) NEP Member and the Class B Members shall thereafter cooperate in good faith to remedy the applicable Change of Control Cash Shortfall (provided that the foregoing shall not require NEP or NEP Member to take any actions to remedy such Change of Control Cash Shortfall other than such cooperation with the Class B Members); (2) NEP Member shall continue to be entitled, at any time and from time to

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

time during such Change of Control Remedy Period to modify the proportions of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.03(b)) to be used to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price (and to further modify such proportions if previously modified); (3) the applicable Change of Control Closing shall occur as promptly as practicable following NEP Member’s receipt of a Change of Control Cash Shortfall Remedy Notice; and (4) at the applicable Change of Control Closing (y) the Call Option Purchase Price shall be calculated from the applicable Acquisition Date of the Class B Units to be purchased to the date on which such Change of Control Closing actually occurs, and (z) the Issuance Price of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.03(b)), if any, to be issued as payment (or partial payment) of the applicable Change of Control Purchase Price shall be the price set forth in the original Change of Control Notice.

(e) Following consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 7.03, to the extent a Class B Member has Disposed of all of its Class B Units, the Managing Member will amend this Agreement to reflect the withdrawal of such Class B Member and the transfer of such Class B Units effective as of the Change of Control Closing.

(f) Each Member agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, the Managing Member, and NEP to effect the Change of Control Closing as reasonably requested, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all applicable Governmental Authorizations, terminating and releasing all Encumbrances on the Class B Units (other than restrictions on transfer arising under this Agreement and under applicable securities Laws), and entering into any agreements and instruments and executing any certificates or other documents the Managing Member reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to consummate the Disposition of the Class B Units (provided that the foregoing shall not require Investor to take any actions to remedy any Change of Control Cash Shortfall other than seeking Qualifying Financing in accordance with Section 7.03(d)). Investor agrees that it shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) seek Qualifying Financing in accordance with Section 7.03(d) and cause the Change of Control Closing to occur as promptly as practicable and (ii) keep NEP Member reasonably informed of developments in Investor’s efforts to obtain Qualifying Financing. The Class B Members and NEP agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Transfer Agent to record the issuance of NEP Common Units and Non-Voting NEP Common Units, as the case may be, to such Class B Members (or their nominee(s)).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.03(a), with respect to any and all Class B Units held directly or indirectly by one or more Blockers, so long as (i) Investor Parent or any of its Affiliates Controls the Blocker Parent of such Blocker; (ii) at all times prior to the Change of Control Closing, the only assets of the applicable Blocker (other than cash) are Class B Units, which Class B Units shall be held by such Blocker in a Proportionate Class B Allocation; (iii) the applicable Blocker has engaged in no business activities other than its organizational activities and acquiring, financing, accepting, owning, and holding, directly or indirectly, Class B Units; and (iv) on the applicable date on which the Change of Control Closing actually occurs, the applicable Blocker has no liabilities, then, if the Class B Member Representative provides notice to NEP Member within two (2) calendar days of receipt of such Change of Control Notice that it wishes for NEP Member (or its nominee) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Blocker Interests of such Blocker pursuant to the exercise of such NEP

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

Change of Control Option, NEP Member (or its nominee) shall purchase, and Blocker Parent shall be required to sell, all of the Blocker Interests of the applicable Blocker that holds, directly or indirectly, the Proportionate Class B Allocation of the applicable Class B Units to be purchased pursuant to such NEP Change of Control Option, rather than a direct purchase of the outstanding Class B Units held (directly or indirectly) by such Blocker, on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth herein for the purchase of Class B Units pursuant to the NEP Change of Control Option, and Investor and Blocker Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless NEP Member and its Affiliates from and against any and all Claims arising out of or relating to such Blocker or Class B Member. At the applicable Change of Control Closing, Blocker Parent will convey all right, title, and interest in and to the applicable Blocker Interests (and indirectly the Class B Units held by such Blocker), free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable securities Laws), to NEP Member or its nominee and will take all actions necessary to withdraw as a member of the applicable Blocker and cause NEP Member to be admitted as the sole member of such Blocker and sole record and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding Blocker Interests of such Blocker. If the Class B Member Representative exercises the option to have Blocker Interests purchased as set forth in this Section 7.03(g), the applicable references elsewhere in this Section 7.03 to Class B Units or to a Class B Member selling Class B Units shall be to the applicable Blocker Interests and Blocker Parent, respectively, and the other terms of this Section 7.03 shall apply mutatis mutandis, and Investor, the Class B Members, Blocker Parent, and NEP Member will take all actions necessary to effect the Change of Control Closing as the purchase of Blocker Interests rather than the purchase of Class B Units.

7.04 Change of Control of a Class B Member.

(a) If, at any time prior to the Flip Date, there is an announcement of a proposed Change of Control of a Class B Member or a Class B Member enters into any agreement providing therefor, then, commencing on the date of such announcement of a proposed Change of Control of a Class B Member or such entry into such agreement and ending on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Change of Control of such Class B Member, NEP Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire all or any portion of the outstanding Class B Units held by such Class B Member (in such capacity, the “COC Member”) at a purchase price that results in an Internal Rate of Return on each Class B Unit for which such election is made, measured from the applicable Acquisition Date of such Class B Unit to the Class B COC Closing Date, of [five and sixty-one hundredths percent (5.61%)] (the “Class B COC Purchase Price”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.04 (the “Class B COC Option”). NEP Member may not assign its right to purchase the applicable Class B Units pursuant to this Section 7.04 to any Person other than NEP or a Subsidiary thereof; provided, however, that, in the event of any such assignment, NEP Member and NEP shall remain subject to their respective obligations set forth in this Section 7.04 upon any exercise of the Class B COC Option.

(b) To exercise the Class B COC Option, NEP Member shall deliver to the COC Member notice of such exercise (the “Class B COC Notice”) containing (i) the date (the “Class B COC Closing Date”) on which the Class B COC Option is to be consummated (the “Class B

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

COC Closing”), (ii) the number of Class B Units to be purchased, (iii) the Class B COC Purchase Price per Class B Unit, and (iv) the form of consideration to be used to pay the Class B COC Purchase Price, which shall be, at NEP Member’s election, either cash, Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units if the holder of Class B Units to be purchased requests in writing, not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Class B COC Closing Date, the issuance of NEP Common Units), or a combination of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units if the holder of Class B Units to be purchased requests in writing, not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Class B COC Closing Date, the issuance of NEP Common Units). If some or all of the Class B COC Purchase Price consists of NEP Common Units or Non-Voting NEP Common Units, the Issuance Price for each such NEP Common Unit or Non-Voting NEP Common Unit will be specified as the lesser of (A) the 10-day VWAP of the NEP Common Units on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the announcement of, or entry into agreement with respect to, the proposed Change of Control of the applicable Class B Member and (B) the listed price of a NEP Common Unit as of the end of trading on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the announcement of, or entry into agreement with respect to, the proposed Change of Control of the applicable Class B Member. The Class B COC Notice shall be delivered to the COC Member at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the Class B COC Closing Date (but may be made subject to and conditioned upon consummation of such Change of Control of a Class B Member). The Class B Units purchased from each COC Member pursuant to the exercise of such Class B COC Option shall consist of a Proportionate Class B Allocation of such COC Member’s Class B Units.

(c) Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or, if requested pursuant to Section 7.04(b), NEP Common Units) may be used for payment of the Class B COC Purchase Price at any Class B COC Closing Date only if each of the following conditions is satisfied as of the applicable Class B COC Closing Date:

(i) the NEP Common Units are listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange; and

(ii) (A) the Registration Rights Agreement is in effect with respect to the NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units are convertible, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the NEP Limited Partnership Agreement, and (B) NEP shall have filed a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units issued at such Class B COC Closing are convertible.

(d) On the Class B COC Closing Date, (i) the COC Member will convey all of its right, title, and interest in and to such COC Member’s Class B Units identified in the Class B COC Notice, free of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer arising under this Agreement and under applicable securities Laws), to NEP Member or its nominee; (ii) NEP Member or its nominee will pay the cash portion of the Class B COC Purchase Price to such COC Member (or its nominee) by wire transfer of immediately available funds; and (iii) NEP shall satisfy the remaining portion of the Class B COC Purchase Price by issuing Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or, if requested by the COC Member pursuant to Section 7.04(b), NEP Common Units) to such COC Member no later than three (3) Business Days after the Class B COC Closing Date, and, in connection therewith, NEP shall instruct, and shall use its

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

commercially reasonable efforts to cause, its Transfer Agent to record the issuance of such Non-Voting NEP Common Units or NEP Common Units, as the case may be, to such COC Member (or its nominee). No fractional NEP Common Units or Non-Voting NEP Common Units, as the case may be, will be issued. The Members agree that the Class B COC Closing shall be subject to the receipt of all applicable Required Governmental Authorizations. In the event any such Required Governmental Authorizations shall not have been obtained by the date that is otherwise scheduled to be the Class B COC Closing Date, then such Class B COC Closing Date shall automatically be delayed until such date as all such Required Governmental Authorizations have been obtained and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Class B COC Purchase Price set forth in the Class B COC Notice shall be calculated from the applicable Acquisition Date of the Class B Units to be purchased until such date as all such Required Governmental Authorizations have been obtained.

(e) Each Class B Member hereby agrees that, in connection with the Class B COC Closing, such Class B Member (or its Affiliates) shall use any cash portion of the Class B COC Purchase Price and all other cash on hand and all Cash Equivalents of such Class B Member to repay all of such Class B Member’s then outstanding Indebtedness under any Class B Permitted Loan Financing (including the net amount of any termination payments and unpaid amounts under any Permitted Hedging Transactions and any other breakage costs, termination fees, and other payments due and payable under such Class B Permitted Loan Financing in connection with such repayment), and to cause the release of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer arising under this Agreement and under applicable securities Laws) on the Class B Units being acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Class B COC Option. To the extent that the cash portion (if any) of the Class B COC Purchase Price (net of any deductions or withholdings required under applicable Law), and all cash on hand and all Cash Equivalents of such Class B Member, are insufficient to repay in full all Indebtedness under such Class B Permitted Loan Financing that is required to be repaid (including the net amount of any termination payments and unpaid amounts under any Permitted Hedging Transactions and any other breakage costs, termination fees and other payments due and payable under such Class B Permitted Loan Financing in connection with such repayment) as a result of the exercise of such Class B COC Closing (such deficiency, a “Class B COC Cash Shortfall”), then such Class B Member shall use reasonable best efforts to remedy such Class B COC Cash Shortfall as promptly as practicable by obtaining Qualifying Financing in an amount required to remedy the Class B COC Cash Shortfall. The Members agree that, if any Class B Permitted Loan Financing is outstanding at such time, each Class B COC Closing shall be subject to there being no Class B COC Cash Shortfall. If there is a Class B COC Cash Shortfall and the applicable Class B Members are unable, using reasonable best efforts, to secure Qualifying Financing or to refinance the existing Qualifying Financing with another Qualifying Financing by the Class B COC Closing Date set forth in the applicable Class B COC Notice (the “Scheduled Class B COC Buyout Date”), then the applicable Class B COC Closing shall automatically be delayed for a period (a “Class B COC Delay Period”) commencing on the Scheduled Class B COC Buyout Date and ending upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Class B COC Closing, (ii) written revocation of the applicable Class B COC Notice by NEP Member delivered to the Class B Member Representative, and (iii) the date falling ten (10) Business Days after the Scheduled Class B COC Buyout Date. During any such Class B COC Delay Period, the Class B Members shall use reasonable best efforts to

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

secure Qualifying Financing, or to refinance the existing Qualifying Financing with another Qualifying Financing, to remedy the Class B COC Cash Shortfall associated with the exercise of such Class B COC Option; provided, however, that, at any time and from time to time during such Class B COC Delay Period, NEP Member shall be entitled to modify the proportions of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.04(b)) to be used to pay the Class B COC Purchase Price at the applicable Class B COC Closing, upon notice thereof delivered to the Class B Member Representative on or after the Scheduled Class B COC Buyout Date. If the Class B Members are able, using their reasonable best efforts, to obtain Qualifying Financing in an amount sufficient to remedy the Class B COC Cash Shortfall, then (A) the Class B Member Representative shall promptly deliver written notice thereof (a “Class B COC Cash Shortfall Remedy Notice”) to NEP Member, (B) the applicable Class B COC Closing shall occur as promptly thereafter as practicable, and (C) at the applicable Class B COC Closing, the amount of the Class B COC Purchase Price and the Issuance Price for Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.04(b)) to be issued as payment (or partial payment) of the applicable Class B COC Purchase Price shall be the same as is set forth in the original Class B COC Notice; provided, however, that, if no Class B COC Cash Shortfall Remedy Notice is delivered within the first five (5) Business Days following the Scheduled Class B COC Buyout Date, then (1) NEP Member and the Class B Members shall thereafter cooperate in good faith to remedy the applicable Class B COC Cash Shortfall (provided that the foregoing shall not require NEP or NEP Member to take any actions to remedy such Class B COC Cash Shortfall other than such cooperation with the Class B Members); (2) NEP Member shall continue to be entitled, at any time and from time to time during such Class B COC Remedy Period to modify the proportions of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.04(b)) to be used to pay the Call Option Purchase Price (and to further modify such proportions if previously modified); (3) the applicable Class B COC Closing shall occur as promptly as practicable following NEP Member’s receipt of a Class B COC Cash Shortfall Remedy Notice; and (4) at the applicable Class B COC Closing (if any) (y) the Class B COC Purchase Price shall be calculated from the applicable Acquisition Date of the Class B Units to be purchased to the date on which such Class B COC Closing actually occurs, and (z) the Issuance Price of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units (or NEP Common Units, if requested pursuant to Section 7.04(b)), if any, to be issued as payment (or partial payment) of the applicable Class B COC Purchase Price shall be the price set forth in the original Class B COC Notice.

(f) Each Member agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, the Managing Member, and NEP to effect the Class B COC Closing as reasonably requested, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all applicable Governmental Authorizations, terminating and releasing all Encumbrances on the applicable Class B Units (other than restrictions on transfer arising under this Agreement and under applicable securities Laws), and entering into any agreements and instruments and executing any certificates or other documents the Managing Member reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to consummate the Disposition of the applicable Class B Units (provided that the foregoing shall not require the Class B Members to take any actions to remedy any Class B COC Cash Shortfall other than seeking Qualifying Financing in accordance with Section 7.04(e)). The Class B Members and NEP agree to use

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Transfer Agent to record the issuance of NEP Common Units and Non-Voting NEP Common Units, as the case may be, to the COC Member (or its nominee).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.04(a), with respect to any and all Class B Units to be purchased pursuant to a Class B COC Option that are held directly or indirectly by any Blocker, so long as (i) Investor Parent or any of its Affiliates Controls the Blocker Parent of such Blocker; (ii) at all times prior to the Class B COC Closing, the only assets of the applicable Blocker (other than cash) are Class B Units, which Class B Units shall be held by such Blocker in a Proportionate Class B Allocation; (iii) the applicable Blocker has engaged in no business activities other than its organizational activities and acquiring, financing, accepting, owning, and holding, directly or indirectly, Class B Units; and (iv) on the applicable Class B COC Closing Date, the applicable Blocker has no liabilities, then, if the Class B Member Representative provides notice to NEP Member within two (2) calendar days of receipt of such Class B COC Notice that it wishes for NEP Member (or its nominee) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Blocker Interests of such Blocker pursuant to the exercise of such Class B COC Option, NEP Member (or its nominee) shall purchase, and Blocker Parent shall be required to sell, all of the Blocker Interests of the applicable Blocker that holds, directly or indirectly, the Proportionate Class B Allocation of the applicable Class B Units to be purchased pursuant to such Class B COC Option, rather than a direct purchase of the outstanding Class B Units held (directly or indirectly) by such Blocker, on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth herein for the purchase of Class B Units pursuant to the Class B COC Option, and Investor and Blocker Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless NEP Member and its Affiliates from and against any and all Claims arising out of or relating to such Blocker or COC Member. At the applicable Class B COC Closing, Blocker Parent will convey all right, title, and interest in and to the applicable Blocker Interests (and indirectly the Class B Units held by such Blocker), free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable securities Laws), to NEP Member or its nominee and will take all actions necessary to withdraw as a member of the applicable Blocker and cause NEP Member to be admitted as the sole member of such Blocker and sole record and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding Blocker Interests of such Blocker. If the Class B Member Representative exercises the option to have Blocker Interests purchased as set forth in this Section 7.04(g), the applicable references elsewhere in this Section 7.04 to Class B Units or to a Class B Member selling Class B Units shall be to the applicable Blocker Interests and Blocker Parent, respectively, and the other terms of this Section 7.04 shall apply mutatis mutandis, and Investor, the Class B Members, Blocker Parent, and NEP Member will take all actions necessary to effect the Class B COC Closing as the purchase of Blocker Interests rather than the purchase of Class B Units.

7.05 Non-Voting NEP Common Units.

(a) Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the NEP Limited Partnership Agreement, (i) a Non-Voting NEP Common Unit shall automatically convert into one (1) NEP Common Unit immediately upon the Disposition of such Non-Voting NEP Common Unit to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Class B Member Disposing of such Non-Voting NEP Common Unit; and (ii) each Class B Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

convert all or any portion of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units held by it into NEP Common Units on the date that is sixty-one (61) days following delivery to the Company and NEP by such Class B Member of a written election of conversion. NEP hereby agrees that it shall not, without the consent of the Class B Members, alter, amend, or waive any provision of the NEP Limited Partnership Agreement in a manner that would require the consent of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units if the Non-Voting NEP Common Units were outstanding and held solely by the Class B Members.

(b) In the event of a Disposition of Non-Voting NEP Common Units, NEP hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the conversion of such Non-Voting NEP Common Units in connection with such Disposition, including coordinating with the Transfer Agent to facilitate such Disposition and to record the transfer and conversion of Non-Voting NEP Common Units in a manner that permits the sale of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units in market transactions.

7.06 Certain Assistance.

(a) After the Flip Date, subject to Section 7.01(c), upon the written request of Investor, Managing Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Investor in connection with a private placement of the Class B Units then held by Investor and its Affiliates, subject to compliance with Section 7.01(b), if such Class B Units are not acquired by NEP Member (or its assignee) pursuant to Section 7.01(c). In furtherance of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and subject to Section 3.08, the Managing Member shall, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with, provide reasonable assistance with respect to, and take such customary actions in connection with such private placement as shall be reasonably requested by Investor, by (i) making the Company’s properties, books and records, and other assets reasonably available for inspection by potential acquirers, (ii) establishing a physical or electronic data room that includes materials customarily made available to potential acquirers in connection with such processes, (iii) upon reasonable notice, making employees of the Managing Member, the Company, and the Company’s Subsidiaries reasonably available for presentations, site visits, interviews, and other customary diligence activities, and (iv) reasonably assisting in the termination of Encumbrances on the Class B Units under any Class B Permitted Loan Financing and in the perfection of any security interest of other Encumbrances on the Class B Units by the lenders of any such potential acquirers, subject, in each case, to the execution by such potential acquirers of Customary Confidentiality Agreements obligating such potential acquirers to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information; provided that none of the foregoing actions shall unreasonably interfere with the operation of any Project or the conduct of business by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and all of the foregoing such actions shall be subject to Section 3.08(c). Investor shall, promptly upon written request by NEP Member, reimburse NEP Member and its Affiliates for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), incurred by NEP Member or any of its Affiliates or any of the directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees, stockholders, Representatives, advisors, or Affiliates of NEP Member or any of its Affiliates in connection with any such Person’s complying with the obligations under this Section 7.06(a).

The Managing Member and the Company agree that such cooperation shall be subject to Section 3.08 and on terms (including with respect to rights to indemnification) consistent with the cooperation provided by the Company and NEP under Section 5.04 of the Purchase Agreement, mutatis mutandis, in connection with any such financing.

7.07 Standstill and Notice of Ownership.

(a) Except (A) as permitted pursuant to the exercise of any Call Option, NEP Change of Control Option, or Class B COC Option or (B) with respect to any Class B Permitted Loan Financing or any Interest Rate Hedging Transaction, Investor and each other Class B Member agrees that, for so long as such Person or any of its Affiliates or Affiliated Investment Vehicles holds Class B Units, neither such Person nor any of its Affiliates or Affiliated Investment Vehicles, or any of its or their respective Representatives or agents (acting on behalf of, or in concert with, Investor or any of its other Representatives or agents), will in any manner, directly or indirectly, (i) effect (or seek, offer, or propose to effect), (ii) announce any intention to effect, or (iii) cause or participate in or in any way knowingly assist, facilitate, or encourage any other person to effect (or seek, offer, or propose to effect) any short sale or any purchase, sale, or grant of any option, warrant, convertible security, unit appreciation right, or other similar right (including any put or call option or “swap” or hedging transaction with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index)) that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from a decline in the market price or value of any NEP Common Units or any other securities of NEP; provided, however, that, following NEP Member’s first exercise of the Call Option, any such short sale, purchase, sale, or grant by Investor shall be prohibited only if, and to the extent, as a result of such short sale, purchase, sale, or grant, Investor would no longer have a “net long position” (as defined in Rule 14e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act) in respect of NEP Common Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7.07(a) (1) shall not apply to or restrict any of the following: (x) the trading activities of any of Investor’s Affiliated Investment Vehicles that are in the ordinary course of business, (y) the trading activities of any of Investor’s Affiliated Investment Vehicles that have been disclosed in writing by Investor to NEP Member promptly upon receiving notice of the proposed exercise of any Call Option, NEP Change of Control Option, or Class B COC Option, or (z) the trading activities of any portfolio companies in which any of Investor’s Affiliated Investment Vehicles holds an interest (in each of the cases described in the foregoing clauses (x), (y) or (z) other than any trading activities of Investor and any other holder of Class B

The Company shall pay all filing fees to obtain such Required Governmental Authorizations.

provided that in no event shall a Liquidity Event (y) take the form of a sale of assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (z) take a form that would otherwise result in material adverse tax, accounting, or regulatory consequences for the Managing Member which could be avoided or materially mitigated by adopting an alternative structure that is not materially less advantageous to the Class B Members.

(d) In connection with any Liquidity Event, (i) the Class B Member Representative shall in good faith use its reasonable best efforts to maximize value to the Members (as a whole) in connection with any Liquidity Event (and in connection therewith, the Class B Member Representative may consider such factors as the Class B Member Representative determines in good faith to be necessary or appropriate, including with respect to the amount and form of

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

consideration, timing, and transaction execution risk, including financing risk), (ii) each Member shall receive the same form of consideration as each other Member, and (iii) the amount of consideration to be received by each of the Members will be calculated by taking the aggregate amount of proceeds received in such Liquidity Event and allocating such proceeds among the Members in accordance with the applicable distribution provisions set forth in Section 5.01.

The Managing Member is hereby directed and authorized to take whatever steps it, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or desirable to perfect such designation, including filing any forms or documents with the IRS, designating an individual to serve as the sole individual through whom the Partnership Representative will act, and taking such other action as may from time to time be required under the Treasury Regulations.

101

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and with the exception that the approval of Investor described in this paragraph is not required for any Guaranteed Tax Credit Dispute, the Partnership Representative must: (i) obtain the prior written approval of Investor (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with respect to (y) commencing any judicial or administrative action or appealing any adverse determination of a Governmental Authority, in each case relating to Taxes and (z) surrendering, settling or compromising any audit or proceeding relating to Taxes, in each case of clause (y) or (z), only to the extent such action, adverse determination, audit or proceeding, as applicable, relates to a taxable period during which Investor held Class B Units; and (ii) inform and consult with Investor, on a timely basis, regarding the status of investigations, audits, proceedings and negotiations with any Governmental Authority, in each case, to the extent relating to Taxes and a taxable period during which the Investor held Class B Units. Any reasonable cost or expense incurred by the Partnership Representative in connection with its duties, including the preparation for or pursuance of administrative or judicial proceedings, shall be paid by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the approval of Investor shall not be required pursuant to this Section 8.03 in connection with any Guaranteed Tax Credit Dispute; provided that the Partnership Representative shall keep Investor reasonably informed in connection with the developments in any Guaranteed Tax Credit Dispute and consider any reasonable comments received in connection therewith.

(c) The Partnership Representative may, in its reasonable discretion, make the election provided by Section 6221(b) of the Code to have Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code not apply (the “Election Out”).

(d) If the Internal Revenue Service proposes an adjustment in the amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Company, or any Member’s (or former Member’s) distributive share thereof, and such adjustment results in an “imputed underpayment” as described in Section 6225(b) of the Code (a “Covered Audit Adjustment”), the Partnership Representative may (but shall not be required to) elect, to the extent that such election is available (taking into account whether the Partnership Representative has received any needed information on a timely basis from the Members and former Members, if applicable), and the Election Out was not previously made, to apply the alternative method provided by Section 6226 of the Code (the “Alternative Method”). To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not elect the Alternative Method with respect to a Covered Audit Adjustment, the Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) request information necessary to, and to make any modifications available under Sections 6225(c) of the Code to the extent that such modifications are available (taking into account whether the Partnership Representative has received any needed information on a timely basis from the Members and former Members) as would, reduce any Company Level Taxes payable by the Company with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment, and (b) if requested by a Member, provide to such Member information allowing such Member to file an amended U.S. federal income Tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code, to the extent that such amended return and payment of any related U.S. federal income Taxes would reduce any Company Level Taxes payable by the Company with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment (after taking into account any modifications described in clause (a)). Similar procedures shall be followed in connection with

102

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

any state or local income Tax audit that incorporates rules similar to Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Taxes, penalties, and interest payable under the Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code by the Company (“Company Level Taxes”) shall be treated as attributable to the Members (and former Members if applicable) of the Company, and the Partnership Representative shall cause the Company to allocate the burden of any such Company Level Taxes to those Members (and former Members if applicable) to whom such amounts are reasonably attributable (whether as a result of their status, actions, inactions, or otherwise), taking into account the effect of any modifications described in Section 8.03(d) that reduce the amount of Company Level Taxes. All Company Level Taxes allocated to a Member (or a former Member if applicable), at the option of the Managing Member, shall (i) be promptly paid to the Company by such Member (or former Member if applicable) (“Option A”) or (ii) be paid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 and, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member pursuant to Section 5.03 (“Option B”). If the Managing Member selects Option A, the Company’s payment of the Company Level Taxes allocated to the applicable Member (or former Member if applicable) shall be treated as a distribution to such Member (or former Member) and the payment by such Member (or former Member) to the Company shall be treated as a capital contribution for U.S. federal income Tax purposes; provided that such payments shall not affect the Capital Accounts of, any other contributions to be made by, or the distributions and allocations to be made to the applicable Members (or former Member) under this Agreement. If the Managing Member selects Option B, the applicable Member shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as having received a distribution of the amount of its allocable share of the Company Level Taxes at the time such Company Level Taxes are paid by the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Member (whether or not such Member becomes a Member after the Effective Date) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members (or former Members if applicable) from and against any liability for Company Level Taxes allocated to such Member in accordance with this Section 8.03(e) (including, with respect to any former Member, any Company Level Taxes allocated to such former Member that are attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) during which such former Member was treated as holding an interest in the Company).

(f) If any Member intends to file a notice of inconsistent treatment under Section 6222(c) of the Code, such Member shall give reasonable notice under the circumstances to the other Members of such intent and the manner in which the Member’s intended treatment of an item is (or may be) inconsistent with the treatment of that item by the other Members.

(g) Except as may be required by applicable Law, the Managing Member and the Company shall not make any election or take any action, including such elections or actions specifically authorized under this Section 8.03, that reasonably would be expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on Investor or its direct or indirect investors.

ARTICLE 12

DISSOLUTION, WINDING-UP AND TERMINATION

12.01 Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to occur of the following events (each a “Dissolution Event”):

(a) consent of NEP Member and Class B Member Approval; or

(b) an event that makes it unlawful for the business of the Company to be carried on; provided that, if such an event occurs, then NEP Member and the Class B Member Representative shall negotiate in good faith to determine a workaround to allow the business of the Company to be lawfully carried on and such event shall not be deemed a “Dissolution Event” unless and until the Members mutually agree that no such workaround is reasonably feasible.

Each Member hereby expressly waives its right to make an application for, or otherwise seek or pursue, the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 18-802 of the Act.

12.02 Winding-Up and Termination.

112

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

(a) On the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Managing Member shall, or shall designate another Person to, serve as liquidator. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of winding-up shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Members. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(i) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final winding-up, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the liquidator’s choosing of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last calendar day of the month in which the dissolution occurs or the final winding-up is completed, as applicable;

(ii) the liquidator shall discharge from Company funds all of the Indebtedness of the Company and other debts, liabilities, expenses, and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in winding-up and any loans described in Section 4.05) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and

(iii) all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

(A) the liquidator may sell any or all Company property, including to Members, and any resulting gain or loss from each sale shall be computed and allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Members in accordance with Section 12.02(b);

(B) with respect to all Company property that has not been sold, the fair market value of that property shall be determined and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, and deduction inherent in property that has not been previously reflected in the Capital Accounts would be allocated among the Members if there were a taxable Disposition of that property for the fair market value of that property on the date of distribution, as determined by the Managing Member in its reasonable discretion (it being agreed by the Members that a determination by the Managing Member that the fair market value of any such property equals the value of such property reflected in current financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP shall be deemed reasonable); and

(C) Company property (including cash) shall be distributed among the Members in accordance with Section 5.03; and those distributions shall be made before the end of the taxable year in which liquidation of the Company occurs or, if later, within 90 days after the date of the liquidation of the Company.

113

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

(iv) If, after giving effect to all allocations, distributions and contributions for all periods (other than those required by this Section 12.02(a)(iv)), NEP Member has a deficit in its Capital Account balance following the “liquidation,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), of NEP Member’s Membership Interest, NEP Member will be obligated to contribute cash to the Company in an amount equal to such deficit balance by the end of the Fiscal Year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs, or if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation, except that the restoration obligation of NEP Member in the aggregate pursuant to this Section 12.02(a)(iv) shall not be more than five percent (5%)of NEP Member’s Effective Date Contribution Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) NEP Member will have the unilateral right by notice to the Managing Member to (1) increase the amount of its deficit restoration obligation over the amount described in the immediately preceding sentence or (2) decrease the amount of, or eliminate, its deficit restoration obligation at any time in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(f); (B) after the Flip Date, at the end of any Fiscal Year in which NEP Member’s deficit restoration obligation exceeds the absolute value of NEP Member’s deficit Capital Account balance, such deficit restoration obligation shall be automatically reduced in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(f) to equal such absolute value; and (C) NEP Member’s deficit restoration obligation will be eliminated in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(f) on the first date on or after the Flip Date on which the Capital Account balance of NEP Member is equal to or greater than zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no other Member shall have any obligation to restore any deficit in its Capital Account balance unless and until such deficit restoration obligation is consented to in writing by the Managing Member.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.04 to the contrary, in the Fiscal Year or other applicable period in which a Dissolution Event occurs, items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after giving effect to such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount of the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 5.03.

(c) The distribution of cash or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.02 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its Membership Interest and all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented pursuant to Section 18-502(b) of the Act. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for those funds.

114

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

(d) No dissolution or termination of the Company shall relieve a Member from any obligation to the extent such obligation has accrued as of the date of such dissolution or termination. Upon such termination, any books and records of the Company that the liquidator reasonably determines may ever be needed again by one or more Persons who were Members as of the dissolution or termination shall be retained by the Managing Member or its designee, who shall keep such books and records (subject to review by any Person that was a Member at the time of dissolution) for a period at least three (3) years. After the expiration of such period of three (3) years, if the Managing Member (or its designee) no longer agrees to keep such books and records, it shall offer the Persons who were Members at the time of dissolution or termination a reasonable opportunity to take over such custody, (i) shall deliver such books and records to such Persons if they elect to take over such custody (or as all of such Persons otherwise direct) and, upon request by any other Person that elects to take custody (and at such other Person’s cost), deliver a copy of such books and records to such other Person, or (ii) may destroy such books and records if no such Person so elects.

12.03 Deficit Capital Accounts. Except as provided in Section 12.02(a)(iv), no Member will be required to pay to the Company, to any other Member or to any third party any deficit balance that may exist from time to time in its or another Member’s Capital Account.

12.04 Certificate of Cancellation. On completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Managing Member shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to Section 2.06, and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the existence of the Company. Upon the filing of such certificate of cancellation, the existence of the Company shall terminate (and the Term shall end), except as may be otherwise provided by the Act or other applicable Law.

ARTICLE 13

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.01 Notices. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests, or consents provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered to the recipient by electronic mail (a copy of which may be delivered in person or by courier or mail). A notice, request, or consent given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the applicable Member. All notices, requests, and consents to be sent to a Member must be sent to or made at the addresses given for that Member on Exhibit A or such other address as that Member may specify by notice to the Managing Member and the other Members. Any notice, request, or consent to the Company must be given to all of the Members. Whenever any notice is required to be given by Law, the Delaware Certificate, or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

115

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

13.02 Entire Agreement; Superseding Effect. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as that term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement of the Members and their Affiliates relating to the Company and the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all provisions and concepts contained in all prior agreements.

13.03 Effect of Waiver or Consent. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Member in the performance by that Member of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Member of the same or any other obligations of that Member with respect to the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, failure on the part of a Member to complain of any act of any Member or to declare any Member in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Member of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations has run.

13.04 Amendment or Restatement. Each of this Agreement and the Delaware Certificate may, subject to Section 6.03(a), be amended or restated only by a written instrument executed (or, in the case of the Delaware Certificate, approved) by the Managing Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Managing Member may amend this Agreement without the approval of any Members (i) to implement the valid admission of New Members or Assignees as Members; (ii) to correct typographical, formatting, cross-referencing, or other similar errors; and (iii) to update Exhibit A from time to time to reflect the valid admission of New Members, the valid admission of Assignees as Members, the making of additional Capital Contributions by Members, the issuances of Class A Units, Class B Units, or other classes or groups of Membership Interests, and the Disposition of Membership Interests, so long as such transactions were approved and consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) if the Managing Member determines that any amendment of this Agreement is necessary to satisfy any Law, the Members shall negotiate in good faith to enter into an amendment of this Agreement to satisfy such Law that is mutually agreeable.

13.05 Binding Effect. Subject to the restrictions on Dispositions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Members and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

116

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

13.06 Governing Law; Severability. THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory, non-waivable provision of the Act, such provision of the Act shall control. If any provision of the Act provides that it may be varied or superseded in a limited liability company agreement (or otherwise by agreement of the members or managers of a limited liability company), such provision shall be deemed superseded and waived in its entirety if this Agreement contains a provision addressing the same issue or subject matter. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Member or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, (a) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Members or circumstances is not affected thereby, and (b) the Members shall negotiate in good faith to replace that provision with a new provision that is valid and enforceable and that puts the Members in substantially the same economic, business, and legal position as they would have been in if the original provision had been valid and enforceable.

13.07 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those transactions; provided, however, that this Section 13.07 shall not obligate a Member to furnish guarantees or other credit supports by such Member’s Parent or other Affiliates.

(b) The appointment of the Class B Member Representative hereunder shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Class B Member bound by Section 13.08(a) and shall be binding on any successor thereto; provided, however, that the Class B Member Representative’s appointment hereto shall terminate automatically when the Class B Member Representative is no longer the record owner of any Class B Units or is no longer the managing member or general partner that Controls a Class B Member that owns Class B Units. Initial Investor shall have the right to designate a successor Class B Member Representative upon notice delivered to the Managing Member not less than ten (10) Business Days in advance of such designation; provided that the Person appointed to serve as successor Class B Member Representative must be a record owner of Class B Units or the managing member or general partner that Controls a Class B Member that owns Class B Units. The Class B Members other than the NEP Class B Parties hereby confirm all that the Class B Member Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of its appointment hereby as the Class B Member Representative. All actions taken by the Class B Member Representative under this Agreement shall be binding upon each Class B Member other than the NEP Class B Parties and such Class B Member’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Class B Member, and all defenses that may be available to such Class B Member to contest, negate, or disaffirm the action of the Class B Member Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement are waived.

(c) The Company, NEP Member, NEP, and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry and without any liability whatsoever, upon any action of the Class B Member Representative in all matters referred to herein, including that the Class B Member Representative has obtained any prior approval or consent of the Class B Members other than the NEP Class B Parties as may be required, under this Agreement or otherwise, to take any such action. Neither the Company, NEP Member, NEP, nor any other Person will be liable to any Class B Member, any of Affiliate thereof, or any other Person as a result of, in connection with, or relating to the performance of the Class B Member Representative’s duties and obligations under this Agreement, including with respect to any errors in judgment, negligence, oversight, breach of duty, or otherwise of the Class B Member Representative.

118

896060.18-WILSR01A - MSW

13.09 Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

13.10 Waiver of Certain Rights. Each Member irrevocably waives any right it may have to maintain any action for dissolution of the Company or for partition of the property of the Company.

13.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

13.12 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.06, each Member shall bear its own transaction costs and any other costs and expenses incurred in connection with being a Member, holding its Membership Interest, and administering its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

13.13 Public Announcements. No press release or other public announcement or public statement or comment in response to any inquiry relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued or made by any Member or any of its Affiliates without the mutual consent of the other Members (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided, however, that a press release or other public announcement or regulatory filing, statement, or comment may be made without such consent if it is made in order to comply with applicable Laws or the rules of an applicable National Securities Exchange.

“VWAP” per Common Unit on any Trading Day shall mean the per Common Unit volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “NEP <equity> AQR” (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session on such Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the closing price of one Common Unit on such Trading Day as reported on the New York Stock Exchange’s website or the website of the National Securities Exchange upon which the Common Units are listed). If the VWAP cannot be calculated for the Common Units on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP of the Common Units on such date shall be the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Partnership in a commercially reasonable manner.

Section 1.02Registrable Securities. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, a Registrable Security will cease to be a Registrable Security under this Agreement upon the earliest to occur of the following: (a) when a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Security becomes or has been declared effective by the Commission and such Registrable Security has been sold or disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement, (b) when such Registrable Security has been disposed of (excluding transfers or assignments by a Holder to a Specified Transferee to whom the rights under this Agreement have been transferred pursuant to Section 2.09) pursuant to any transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act, (c) when such Registrable Security is held by the Partnership or one of its Affiliates, and (d) when such Registrable Security has been sold or disposed of in a private transaction in which the Holder’s rights under this Agreement are not assigned to a Specified Transferee of such securities pursuant to Section 2.09. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the provisions of this Section 1.02 do not modify the transfer restrictions applicable to Holders under the Partnership Agreement and (ii) only a Holder that (A) is a named Class B Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement, (B) is an Affiliate of a named Class B Purchaser both (y) at the time any Registrable Securities are transferred to such Holder in compliance with the Purchase Agreement and the Partnership Agreement and (z) at the time of exercise of registration rights pursuant to Section 2.02, or (C) acquires Registrable Securities from a Holder specified in clause (A) or clause (B) above upon foreclosure of a pledge thereof under a Class B Permitted Loan Financing (as that term is defined in the Company LLC Agreement) shall have any registration rights under this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.01Shelf Registration.

(a)Shelf Registration Statements.

(i)The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) prepare and file, not later than the Target Filing Date, a Registration Statement (or any corresponding supplement or amendment to an existing effective Registration Statement) to permit the public resale of the Registrable Securities on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, or such other rule as is then applicable, at then prevailing prices and (B) cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective as soon as practicable thereafter.

(ii)The Partnership will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(a) (or any additional Registration Statement) to be continuously effective under the Securities Act, with respect to any Holder, until the earlier to occur of the following: (A) the date on which there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding and (B) the earlier to occur of (1) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (2) the third (3rd) anniversary of the date on which the Partnership shall have acquired, pursuant to one or more exercises of the Call Option or Class B COC Option (as each such term is defined in the Company LLC Agreement), or otherwise, all of the Class B Units (as such term is defined in the Company LLC Agreement) issued to the Class B Purchasers at the Initial Closing and the Additional Closing under the Purchase Agreement (the “Effectiveness Period”). A Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(a) shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Partnership; provided that, if the Partnership is then eligible, it shall file such Registration Statement on Form S-3. A Registration Statement when declared effective (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) shall comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (and, in the case of any prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made). The plan of distribution indicated in such Registration Statement will include all such methods of sale as Investor may reasonably request in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement and that can be included in such Registration Statement under the rules and regulations of the Commission. As soon as practicable following the date that a Registration Statement becomes effective, but in any event within three (3) Business Days of such date, the

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

Partnership shall provide the Holders with written notice of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

(b)Delay Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Partnership may, upon written notice to any Selling Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, suspend such Selling Holder’s use of any prospectus that is a part of such Registration Statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall suspend sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement) if (i) the Partnership is pursuing an acquisition, merger, reorganization, disposition, or other similar transaction and the Partnership determines in good faith that the Partnership’s ability to pursue or consummate such a transaction would be materially and adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in such Registration Statement, (ii) the Partnership determines it must amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the related prospectus so that such Registration Statement or prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, (iii) the Partnership determines in good faith that it would be required to make disclosure of material information in the Registration Statement that the Partnership has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, or (iv) the Partnership has experienced some other material non-public event, the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith determination of the Partnership, would materially and adversely affect the Partnership; provided, however, that in no event shall the Selling Holders be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of sixty (60) days in any 180-day period or ninety (90) days in any 365-day period. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Partnership shall provide prompt notice to the Selling Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement, shall promptly terminate any suspension of the use of prospectus that is a part of such Registration Statement it has put into effect, and shall take such other actions necessary or appropriate to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement.

Section 2.02Underwritten Offerings.

(a) Demand Rights. At any time on or after January 1, 2027, and prior to March 31, 2032, Investor (on behalf of any Holder) shall have the right to dispose of Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement pursuant to an Underwritten Offering, provided that the Partnership shall be obligated to effect an Underwritten Offering only if (i) a Demand Notice (as defined below) in respect of such Registrable Securities is delivered by Investor to the Partnership as specified below, (ii) the applicable Holder has held such Registrable Securities for at least one (1) calendar year (the “Holding Period”) and (iii) Investor reasonably expects (for any Holder) (y) gross proceeds of at least $200 million from such Underwritten Offering or (z) gross proceeds of at least $100 million from such Underwritten Offering and such Registrable Securities represent one hundred percent (100%) of the then-

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

outstanding Registrable Securities held by any applicable Selling Holder. Investor (on behalf of any Holder) shall exercise any such demand registration right by delivering a written notice (a “Demand Notice”) to the Partnership specifying that (I) it is exercising a demand registration right, (II) the name of each Selling Holder, and (III) the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in the Underwritten Offering. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 2.02(a), promptly upon receipt of the Demand Notice, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an underwriting agreement in a form that is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership with the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the Partnership, which shall include, among other provisions, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 2.07, and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that Investor shall have the right (on behalf of all Holders) to exercise the demand registration rights set forth in this Section 2.02 not more than three (3) times (and not more frequently than once in any six-month period); provided, further, that the aggregate number of Registrable Securities issued as part of any Call Option (including upon the conversion of Non-Voting NEP Common Units issued as part of such Call Option) that may be included in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to a demand registration right shall in no event be greater than the excess of (aa) the number of Common Units or Non-Voting NEP Common Units issued by the Partnership upon exercise of such Call Option over (bb) the number of Common Units that is ten percent (10%) of the trading volume of Common Units over the period from the exercise of such Call Option and the date of such Demand Notice, and only such Registrable Securities as were issued upon conversion of Non-Voting NEP Common Units issued as part of the Call Option Purchase Price in such Call Option may be included in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to such demand registration right; provided, further, that to the extent that at the time of any Demand Notice a Holder owns Registrable Securities issued in respect of more than one Call Option that satisfies the Holding Period requirement, then such Holder may include Registrable Securities issued in respect of each or any such Call Option, and the limitation in the immediately foregoing proviso shall apply to each such Call Option on a Call Option-by-Call Option basis; provided, further, that the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities that may be included in Underwritten Offerings pursuant to demand registration rights exercised in any twelve month period pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall not exceed one third of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that would be outstanding as of the date of delivery of a Demand Notice if all of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units issued on such date were converted on such date into Common Units (or such larger number of Registrable Securities to the extent consented to by the Partnership in its sole and absolute discretion). Solely for illustrative purposes, for example, if at the time of such Demand Notice (y) 6,000,000 Common Units had been issued by the Partnership upon exercise of a prior Call Option (or upon the conversion of Non-Voting NEP Common Units issued upon the exercise of such Call Option), and (z) the trading volume of Common Units over the period from the exercise of such Call Option and the date of such Demand Notice had been 30,000,000 Common Units, then, subject to the Holding Period, up to 3,000,000 of the 6,000,000 Common Units issued upon the exercise of such Call Option (or upon the conversion of Non-Voting NEP Common Units issued upon the exercise of such Call Option) may be included in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to such demand registration right (i.e., 3,000,000 Common Units = 6,000,000 Common Units minus 3,000,000 Common Units, which latter number is the product

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

of 10% multiplied by 30,000,000 Common Units). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Partnership or any of its Affiliates (A) is conducting or actively pursuing a merger, acquisition, or disposition transaction with a third party, (B) is conducting or actively pursuing a securities offering of the Partnership’s Common Units with anticipated gross offering proceeds of at least $100 million (other than in connection with any at-the-market offering or similar continuous offering program), or (C) is in possession of material nonpublic information affecting the Common Units that the Partnership has determined, in good faith in the best interests of the Partnership, should not be publicly disclosed at that time, then the Partnership may suspend Investor’s right to require the Partnership to conduct an Underwritten Offering on such Selling Holder’s behalf pursuant to this Section 2.02; provided, however, that the Partnership may only suspend such demand registration right to require the Partnership to conduct an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.02 once in any six-month period and in no event for a period that exceeds an aggregate of ninety (90) days in any 180-day period or one hundred twenty (120) days in any 365-day period.

(b) General Procedures. In connection with any Underwritten Offering contemplated by Section 2.02(a), the underwriting agreement into which each Selling Holder and the Partnership shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities (subject to Section 2.07), and other rights and obligations as are customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership. No Selling Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Partnership or the Underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Selling Holder’s authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell Registrable Securities pursuant thereto, its ownership of the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution, and any other representation regarding matters required by law. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the terms of each Underwritten Offering shall be approved or disapproved in the sole reasonable discretion of the Partnership; provided, however, that, in an Underwritten Offering undertaken pursuant to this Section 2.02, underwriting discounts and commissions shall be approved by Investor; provided, further, that the Partnership and Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate relating to the terms of an Underwritten Offering, including indicative pricing ranges, at all times following the time a notice of exercise a demand registration right is given pursuant to this Section 2.02. If any Selling Holder disapproves of the terms of an Underwritten Offering contemplated by this Section 2.02, Investor may (on behalf of such Selling Holder) withdraw such Selling Holder’s Registrable Securities from such Underwritten Offering by written notice to the Partnership and the Managing Underwriter; provided, however, that, to be effective, such withdrawal must be made at least two (2) Business Days prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering; provided, further, that, in the event the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering advise the Partnership that the total amount of Common Units that Holders intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a materially adverse effect on the price, timing, or distribution of the Registrable Securities offered or the market for the Common Units, Investor (on behalf of the Holders) will have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Offering by delivering written notice to the Partnership at least two (2) Business Days prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering, in which case the Partnership will have no obligation to proceed with such Underwritten Offering and such Underwritten

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

Offering, whether or not completed, will not decrease the number of Underwritten Offerings that Investor shall have the right to request under this Section 2.02. Notwithstanding the ability of Investor (on behalf of any Holder) to withdraw Registrable Securities from an Underwritten Offering, the exercise of demand registration rights under this Agreement shall be irrevocable, and, except as otherwise specifically provided above, shall decrease the number of Underwritten Offerings that Investor (on behalf of itself and the other Holders) shall have the right to request under Section 2.02.

Section 2.03Further Obligations.

In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Partnership will:

(a)promptly prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statements and such amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period of the Underwritten Offering and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement;

(b)if a prospectus supplement will be used in connection with the marketing of an Underwritten Offering under a Registration Statement and the Managing Underwriter at any time shall notify the Partnership in writing that, in the sole judgment of such Managing Underwriter, inclusion of detailed information to be used in such prospectus supplement is of material importance to the success of such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include such information in such prospectus supplement;

(c)furnish to Investor (on behalf of each Selling Holder) (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the Commission), and provide Investor the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to Investor and such Selling Holder and the plan of distribution that is contained therein and, to the extent timely received, make the corrections reasonably requested with respect to such information prior to filing such Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus included therein or any supplement or amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of such Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus included therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as such Selling Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the resale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or other registration statement;

(d)if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement or any other

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

registration statement contemplated by this Agreement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the Managing Underwriter, shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be required to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction in which it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction in which it is not then so subject;

(e)promptly notify Investor (on behalf of each Selling Holder), at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered by any such Selling Holder under the Securities Act, of (i) the filing of a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and (ii) the receipt of any written comments from the Commission with respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto;

(f)promptly notify Investor (on behalf of each Selling Holder), at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered by any such Selling Holder under the Securities Act, of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained in a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made); (ii) the issuance or express threat of issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) the receipt by the Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision of such notice, the Partnership agrees to, as promptly as practicable, amend or supplement the prospectus or prospectus supplement or take other appropriate action so that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and to take such other action as is reasonably necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof, or proceedings related thereto;

(g)upon request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to Investor (on behalf of each Selling Holder) copies of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering of Registrable Securities;

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

(h) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, furnish, or use its reasonable efforts to cause to be furnished, upon request, (i) an opinion of counsel for the Partnership addressed to the Underwriters, dated the date of the closing under the applicable underwriting agreement and (ii) a “comfort letter” addressed to the Underwriters, dated the pricing date of such Underwritten Offering and a letter of like kind dated the date of the closing under the applicable underwriting agreement, in each case, signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Partnership’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference into the applicable registration statement, and each of the opinion and the “comfort letter” shall be in customary form and covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement) as have been customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to the Underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership and such other matters as such Underwriters may reasonably request;

(i)otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission;

(j)make available to the appropriate representatives of the Managing Underwriter during normal business hours access to such information and Partnership personnel as is reasonable and customary to enable such parties to establish a due diligence defense under the Securities Act; provided, however, that the Partnership need not disclose any non-public information to any such representative unless and until such representative has entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Partnership;

(k)use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Partnership are then listed;

(l)use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Partnership to enable the Selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(m)provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement not later than the Effective Date of such Registration Statement;

(n)enter into customary agreements and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by Investor (on behalf of each Selling Holder) or the Underwriters, if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities (including making appropriate representatives of the Partnership available to participate in customary marketing activities); provided, however, that representatives of the Partnership shall not be required to dedicate an unreasonably burdensome amount of time in connection with any roadshow and related marketing activities for any Underwritten Offering which, in any event, shall be

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

commensurate with the amount of time customarily dedicated in similar Underwritten Offerings undertaken by the Partnership and its Affiliates;

(o)if reasonably requested by Investor (on behalf of each Selling Holder), (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(p)if reasonably required by the Partnership’s transfer agent, the Partnership shall promptly deliver any authorizations, certificates, and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to transfer Registrable Securities without legend upon sale by the Holder of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement; and

(q)if any Holder could reasonably be deemed to be an “underwriter,” as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act (a “Holder Underwriter”), in connection with a Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereof (a “Holder Underwriter Registration Statement”), then the Partnership will reasonably cooperate with Investor (on behalf of such Holder Underwriter) in allowing Investor (on behalf of such Holder Underwriter) to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence” with respect to the Partnership and satisfy its obligations in respect thereof; provided, however, that the Partnership need not disclose any non-public information to any representative of Investor unless and until Investor and its representatives have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Partnership. In addition, at the request of Investor (on behalf of such Holder Underwriter), the Partnership will furnish to Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as Investor may reasonably request (provided that such request shall not be more frequently than on a semi-annual basis), (i) a “comfort letter,” dated such date, from the Partnership’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as has been customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership, (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Partnership for purposes of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, in form, scope, and substance as has been customarily given in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership, accompanied by standard “10b-5” negative assurance for such offerings, and (iii) a standard officer’s certificate from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer, or other Persons serving such functions, as has been customarily given by such officers in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership. The Partnership will also use its reasonable efforts to provide legal counsel to Investor with an opportunity to review and comment upon any such Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, and any amendments and supplements thereto, prior to its filing with the Commission.

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03, the Partnership will not name a Holder as an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) in any Registration Statement or Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, as applicable, without such Holder’s consent. If the staff of the Commission requires the Partnership to name any Holder as an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act), and such Holder does not consent thereto, then such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall not be included on the applicable Registration Statement, and the Partnership shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Holder, unless Investor (on behalf of each Selling Holder) has not had an opportunity to conduct customary underwriter’s due diligence as set forth in Section 2.03(q) with respect to the Partnership at the time such Holder’s consent is sought. Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Partnership or from Investor of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.03(f), shall forthwith discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.03(f) or until it is advised in writing by the Partnership that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Partnership, such Selling Holder will, or will request that the Managing Underwriter or Managing Underwriters, if any, deliver to the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) all copies in its or their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

Section 2.04Cooperation by Holders. The Partnership shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02(a) if Investor or such Holder has failed to timely furnish such information that the Partnership reasonably determines, after consultation with its counsel, is required in order for any registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act.

Section 2.05Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities.

Each Holder of Registrable Securities who is participating in an Underwritten Offering agrees to enter into a customary letter agreement (each, a “Lockup”) with underwriters providing that such Holder will not effect any public sale or distribution of a Common Unit during the forty-five (45) calendar day period beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the Commission with respect to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction imposed by the Underwriters on the Partnership or the officers, directors, or any other Affiliate of the Partnership on whom a restriction is imposed, (ii) the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.05 shall not apply to any Registrable Securities that are included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder, and (iii) the Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each Lockup shall include customary carve-outs, including carve-outs for the pledge, hypothecation, or other granting of a security interest in Common Units or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

Common Units as collateral or security for any loan, advance or extension of credit and any transfer upon foreclosure upon such Common Units or such securities.

Section 2.06Expenses.

(a)Certain Definitions. “Registration Expenses” shall not include Selling Expenses but otherwise means all expenses incurred by the Partnership incident to the Partnership’s performance of its obligations under or compliance with this Agreement to file a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.01, or an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02, and the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including all registration, filing, securities exchange listing and National Securities Exchange fees, all registration, filing, qualification, and other fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, fees of transfer agents and registrars, all word processing, duplicating, and printing expenses, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Partnership and independent public accountants for the Partnership, including the expenses of any special audits or “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance. “Selling Expenses” means all underwriting fees, discounts and selling commissions and transfer taxes allocable to the sale of the Registrable Securities, plus any costs or expenses related to any roadshows conducted in connection with the marketing of any Underwritten Offering.

(a)Expenses. The Partnership will pay all reasonable, documented Registration Expenses, as determined in good faith, in connection with a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and any Underwritten Offering, whether or not any sale is made pursuant to such Underwritten Offering. Each Selling Holder shall pay its pro rata share of all Selling Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. In addition, the Partnership shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses incurred by Investor or any Holder, including professional fees (including legal fees) incurred in connection with the exercise of Investor’s or such Holder’s rights hereunder.

Section 2.07Indemnification.

(a)By the Partnership. In the event of a Registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Partnership will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder thereunder, its directors, officers, managers, partners, employees, and agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, managers, partners, employees, or agents (collectively, the “Selling Holder Indemnified Persons”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses, or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (in the case of any prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which such statement is made) contained in (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes documents incorporated by reference in) the applicable Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement, or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or any free writing prospectus relating thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified Person for any reasonable, documented legal or other expenses incurred by such Selling Holder Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, defending, or resolving any such Loss or actions or proceedings; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished to it by Investor or such Selling Holder Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the applicable Registration Statement or other registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.

(b)By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder severally and not jointly (other than the Selling Holders that are Class B Purchasers, whose obligations shall be joint and several) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the General Partner and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents and each Person, who, directly or indirectly, controls the Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement, or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any free writing prospectus relating thereto; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder (other than the Selling Holders that are Class B Purchasers, whose obligations shall be joint and several) shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holders from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification.

(c)Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.08(c), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure. In any action brought against any indemnified party, it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.07 for any

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnifying party shall settle any action brought against any indemnified party with respect to which such indemnified party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnified party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, includes a complete and unconditional release from liability of, and does not contain any admission of wrongdoing by, the indemnified party.

(d)Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.07 is held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold such indemnified party harmless in respect of any Losses, then each such indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder (other than the Selling Holders that are Class B Purchasers, whose liability shall be joint and several) shall not be greater than the maximum amount for which such Selling Holder could have been liable under the proviso contained in Section 2.07(b). The relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, defending, or resolving any Loss that is the subject of this paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

(e)Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.07 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract, or otherwise.

Section 2.08Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the resale of the Registrable Securities without registration, the Partnership agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

Section 2.09Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Partnership to register Registrable Securities under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by a Holder only if (a) such transferee or assignee is an Affiliate of such Holder, and after such transfer or assignment continues to be, an Affiliate of such Holder, or such transferee acquires Registrable Securities from a Class B Purchaser or an Affiliate of a Class B Purchaser upon foreclosure of a pledge thereof under a Class B Permitted Loan Financing (as that term is defined in the Company LLC Agreement) (each of the transferees and assignees specified in this clause (a), a “Specified Transferee”), (b) the amount of Registrable Securities transferred or assigned to such transferee or assignee represents at least $50 million of Registrable Securities (determined by multiplying the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be transferred by the Average VWAP for the ten (10) Trading Days preceding the date of such transfer or assignment), or such lesser amount if it constitutes the remaining holdings of the Holder and its Affiliates, (c) the Partnership is given written notice prior to any such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (d) with respect to such Holder, a Change of Control has not occurred, and (e) each such transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of such transferring Holder under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor may not transfer any of its rights to give or receive notices, including in respect of the exercise of demand registration rights hereunder, on behalf of

899622.09-WILSR01A - MSW

itself or any Holder without the express written consent of the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Investor may continue to give or receive notices and exercise demand registration rights hereunder on behalf of all Holders regardless of whether Investor owns Registrable Securities.

ARTICLE TWO
OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES

2.1Rights to Develop Subsequent Phases. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Star Moon Holdings acknowledges and agrees to the right of any Subsequent Phase Owner to Implement any Subsequent Phase. Each Party and each Subsequent Phase Owner, which is a party hereto agrees that it will not Implement any Subsequent Phase, except in compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1. Without limiting the foregoing, NextEra agrees that it will not permit any of its Affiliates, to Implement any Subsequent Phase unless such Affiliate complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1 or enters into a build-out agreement with respect to such Subsequent Phase (an “Affiliate Build-Out Agreement”) in substantially the form of, or becomes a party to, this Agreement. In addition, NextEra further agrees that prior to it or any of its Affiliates selling or otherwise transferring any direct or indirect interest in an Affiliate of NextEra that has Subsequent Phase Rights to any non-Affiliate, it shall cause such Affiliate holding such Subsequent Phase Rights to become a party to this Agreement or to enter into a build-out agreement with respect to such Subsequent Phase Rights in substantially the form of this Agreement (a “Transferred Affiliate Build-Out Agreement”) unless the Affiliate holding such Subsequent Phase Rights continues to be controlled directly or indirectly by NextEra. Without limiting NextEra’s obligations under this Section 2.1, any Affiliate Build-Out Agreement or Transferred Affiliate Build-Out Agreement shall apply only to the Subsequent Phase Rights acquired by such Affiliate while it is an Affiliate of NextEra.

(a)Prior to the later of (i) the beginning of the Implementation of any Subsequent Phase or (ii) ten (10) days following the execution of this Agreement, the Subsequent Phase Owner will, at its own expense, prepare and present to each Project Owner, the Independent Wind Consultant (to the extent the Subsequent Phase is wind farm), each Independent Engineer and each Independent Transmission Consultant a detailed development procedure (including the proposed design and construction timetable for the Subsequent Phase) (the “Phase Design”) sufficient to allow (i) the applicable Independent Engineer to analyze and determine on a preliminary basis the applicable Wind Interference Effect, applicable Shading and Soiling Effect and the applicable O&M Interference Effect and (ii) the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant to analyze and determine on a preliminary basis the applicable Transmission Access Effect. NextEra, or its Affiliates, and the Subsequent Phase Owner will cause (i) the applicable Independent Engineer to calculate the applicable Wind Interference Effect, applicable Shading and Soiling Effect, and the applicable O&M Interference Effect and (ii) the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant to calculate the applicable Transmission Access Effect;

897613.05-WILSR01A - MSW

provided, however, that NextEra, its Affiliates and the Subsequent Phase Owner shall have no obligation to cause any Independent Engineer to perform such calculation with respect to (x) a Wind Interference Effect if no Wind Turbines of the Subsequent Phase will be within five (5) kilometers of any Wind Turbines of any Project, or (y) a Shading and Soiling Effect if no Solar Facilities or the Subsequent Phase will be within 1.0 (one) kilometer of any Solar Project.

(b)Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant) under Section 2.1(a), NextEra will run the applicable Project Model for such Project or Projects, in each case, changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the applicable Subsequent Phase Effect as calculated on a preliminary basis.

(c)If the applicable Project Model is modified for the Subsequent Phase Effect, as reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant) on a preliminary basis, results in a Build-Out Payment greater than zero, then NextEra will determine the relevant Class A Cash Adjustment and Class B Cash Adjustment, assuming that the Subsequent Phase is built in accordance with the Phase Design. If each of the Class A Cash Adjustment and Class B Cash Adjustment is equal to zero, no further action is required under this Section 2.1(c).

(d) [Reserved.]

(e)As a condition to commencing construction of the Subsequent Phase or relocation of the applicable Wind Turbine included in such Subsequent Phase, the Subsequent Phase Owner will provide one or more guarantees by NextEra for any Class A Cash Adjustment and Class B Cash Adjustment, as applicable, or in lieu thereof, a letter of credit or other security in form and substance, and issued by a party, reasonably satisfactory to Star Moon Holdings.

(f)Prior to commencement of operation of a Subsequent Phase (or any portion thereof which could reasonably be expected to affect any Project) on a commercial basis, the Subsequent Phase Owner and NextEra will cause the applicable Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by applicable the Independent Transmission Consultant) to calculate the Subsequent Phase Effect on a final basis to reflect the final design and construction timetable (including changes in the projected construction schedule and operations date).

(g)Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant) under Section 2.1(f), NextEra will rerun the applicable Project Model for such Project or Projects, changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the final Subsequent Phase Effect.

(h)If the final determination of the Subsequent Phase Effect, as reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant), in connection with the Implementation of the Subsequent Phase is negative as to Star Moon Holdings, NextEra will determine (i) the Class A Cash Adjustment and Class B Cash Adjustment, if applicable, and the Subsequent Phase Owner will, within thirty (30) days of such determination, pay any such Class A Cash Adjustment and Class B Cash Adjustment, as applicable, due to Star Moon Holdings. If the applicable

897613.05-WILSR01A - MSW

Project Model, as modified on a final basis for the final Subsequent Phase Effect results in a Class A Cash Adjustment equal to zero and a Class B Cash Adjustment equal to zero, then, no further action is required under this Section 2.1(h) with respect to the Class B Units, as the case may be.

(i)Upon payment of a Class A Cash Adjustment and Class B Cash Adjustment, the applicable Project Model, will be revised to reflect, with respect to any Project or Projects, (i) the final Subsequent Phase Effect and (ii) the final Class A Cash Adjustment and Class B Cash Adjustment and, as so revised, will be the Project Model used for purposes of this Section 2.1 in respect of the next Subsequent Phase, if any.

(j)If Star Moon Holdings disputes the calculation of a Class A Cash Adjustment or Class B Cash Adjustment, the Subsequent Phase Owner and the Parties shall meet and work together in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Subsequent Phase Owner and the Parties cannot resolve such disagreement within twenty (20) days, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall pay the portion of any Class A Cash Adjustment or Class B Cash Adjustment, as the case may be, that is not in dispute and each shall appoint an independent expert to resolve such dispute. Thereafter, if such independent experts cannot agree within twenty (20) days of receiving all appropriate information, they shall jointly appoint a third independent expert whose decision shall be binding on the parties and failing agreement on such third independent expert within ten (10) days such third independent expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce upon the request of any party. To the extent it is determined that any Class A Cash Adjustment or Class B Cash Adjustment was not calculated correctly, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall make a supplemental Class A Cash Adjustment and/or Class B Cash Adjustment, (with interest at the prevailing rate) as necessary. The cost of the independent experts shall be the responsibility of the Subsequent Phase Owner unless Star Moon Holdings or its Affiliates shall have acted in bad faith in which case they shall be obligated to pay such costs.

(k)NextEra will not and will not permit any NextEra Affiliate to, and each Party agrees it will not, sell or transfer any Subsequent Phase Rights to another Subsequent Party, unless it simultaneously assigns and delegates to such Subsequent Party, and such Subsequent Party shall assume, the rights and obligations of the Subsequent Phase Owner under this Agreement to the extent relating to such Subsequent Phase or enters into a build-out agreement in respect of such Subsequent Phase in substantially the form of this Agreement; provided, that in connection with any assignment of any Subsequent Phase Rights relating to a Subsequent Phase which is being Implemented and for which a guaranty by NextEra, letter of credit or other security is outstanding, such guaranty, letter of credit or other security shall either remain in full force and effect or be replaced with another guaranty, letter of credit or other security in form and substance, and issued by a party which is, reasonably satisfactory to Star Moon Holdings.

5.04Allocations.

(a)For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 4.08, except as provided in Section 5.04(b) for each Fiscal Year or other applicable period, the Net Profits and Net Loss of the Company, including each item of income, gain, loss, credit, and deduction, shall be allocated among the holders of Units pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2034, and the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2035, the Net Profits and Net Loss of the Company, including each item of income, gain, loss, credit, and deduction, shall be allocated ninety-nine percent (99%) to the NEP CEPF Member, with the remaining one percent (1%) to be allocated amongst the other holders of Units pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (exclusive of the NEP CEPF Member’s Pro Rata Share).

(b)After giving effect to the allocations of Net Profits or Net Loss set forth in Section 5.04(a), Net Profits or Net Loss that consists of items of gain or loss described in clauses (c) or (d) of the definition of “Net Profit” or “Net Loss” shall be allocated (i) to the Class A Members in proportion to each Class A Member’s Class A Percentage Interest as necessary to cause the ratio of the aggregate Capital Accounts of the Class A Members to the aggregate Capital Accounts of all Members to equal fifty percent (50%); and (ii) to the Class B Members in proportion to each Class B Member’s Class B Percentage Interest as necessary to cause the ratio of the aggregate Capital Accounts of the Class B Members to the aggregate Capital Accounts of all Members to equal fifty percent (50%).

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.04(a):

(i)Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in the same proportions as the allocations of Net Profits and Net Loss were made for the Fiscal Year or other applicable period pursuant to Section 5.04(a).

If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk of Loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt, the Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members according to the ratio in which they bear the Economic Risk of Loss. This Section 5.04(c)(ii) is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

897613.05-WILSR01A - MSW

(iii)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain for an allocation period (or if there was a net decrease in Minimum Gain for a prior allocation period and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this Section 5.04(c)(iii)), items of income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in such Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2)). This Section 5.04(c)(iii) is intended to constitute a minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv)Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Section 5.04(c)(iii) (dealing with Minimum Gain), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for an allocation period (or if there was a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for a prior allocation period and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this Section 5.04(c)(iv)), items of income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). This Section 5.04(c)(iv) is intended to constitute a partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(v)Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Section 5.04(c)(i) and Section 5.04(c)(ii), no losses or other items of expense shall be allocated to any Member to the extent that such allocation would cause such Member to have a deficit Capital Account balance (or increase any existing deficit Capital Account balance) at the end of the allocation period. All losses and other items expense in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.04(c)(v) shall be allocated to the Members who do not have a deficit Capital Account balances in proportion to their relative positive Capital Accounts, but only to the extent that such losses and other items of expense do not cause any such Member to have a deficit Capital Account balance.

(vi)If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) resulting in a Capital Account deficit for such Member, items of income and gain will be specially allocated to such Member in any amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, such Capital Account deficit of the Member as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.04(c)(vi) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account balance after all other allocations provided for in this Article 5 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.04(c)(vi) were not in this Agreement. The items of income or gain to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). This subsection (vi) is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be applied and interpreted in accordance with such Treasury Regulations.

897613.05-WILSR01A - MSW

(vii)To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining the Capital Accounts of the Members under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss will be specially allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(viii)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any and all state Tax credits of the Company that may be claimed with respect to the output of any direct or indirect asset of a Tax Equity Entity or otherwise shall be allocated to, and solely for the account of, the NEP CEPF Member.

(ix)The allocations set forth in Section 5.04(c)(i) through Section 5.04(c)(viii) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to distribute the cash of the Company or allocate Company income or loss. Accordingly, the Manager is hereby authorized to allocate items of income, gain, loss, and deduction to the Members so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which cash is distributed among the Members. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction to the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations and the Regulatory Allocations to the Members shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated among the Members if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. However, the Manager shall have discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable manner, and in exercising this discretion, the Manager shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 5.04(c) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made thereunder.

(d)To the maximum extent possible, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.04(d), all items of Company income, gain, loss, and deduction for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members for such purposes in the same manner in which the corresponding items computed for Capital Account purposes are allocated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) and Section 5.04(c). Income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to property contributed to the Company by a Member or revalued pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Book Value” shall be allocated among the Members in a manner that seeks to eliminate, by use of the “remedial method” pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d), the variation between the adjusted Tax basis of such property and its Book Value as required by Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).

5.05Varying Interests. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit shall be allocated, and, subject to Section 5.07, all distributions shall be made to the Persons shown on the records of the Company to have been Members as of the last day of the period for which the allocation or distribution is to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Member Disposes of a Membership Interest during a Fiscal Year, the Net Profits or Net Loss of the Company, and each item of income, gain, loss, credit, and deduction, allocated to such Member and its Assignee for such Fiscal Year or other applicable period will be made between such Member and its Assignee in accordance with Section 706 of the Code using any convention permitted by Section 706 of the Code and selected by the Manager.

897613.05-WILSR01A - MSW

5.06Amounts Withheld. The Company is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions to the Members, and to pay over to any federal, state, or local Governmental Authority any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other applicable Law and shall allocate such amounts to the Members with respect to which such amounts were withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other applicable Law with respect to any payment, distribution, or allocation to the Company or the Members shall, to the extent properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as amounts paid or distributed pursuant to this Article 5 to the Members with respect to which such amount was withheld. To the extent operation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.06 would create a negative balance in a Member’s Capital Account (or increase the amount by which such Capital Account balance is negative), such Member shall indemnify the other Members and the Company for such withholding.

5.07Class B Distribution Offset.

(a)Following the Disposition of Class B Units by the XXXX Member (or any of its Affiliates) to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the XXXX Member, all distributions payable on any Distribution Date pursuant to this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, and Section 5.03 and Article 12, with respect to Class B Units held by any Offset Holder shall be subject to offset (the “Class B Distribution Offset”) in an amount, with respect to such Offset Holder, equal to such Offset Holder’s Applicable Portion of each of the following, to the extent due and payable as of each such Distribution Date, (i) all accrued and unpaid Management Fees (including all unpaid Management Fees for all prior quarterly periods), (ii) the Accrued MSA Amount, and (iii) to the extent applicable, the amount of any Termination Fee or Successor Termination Fee payable by such Offset Holder and the amount of any Offset Loan payable by such Offset Holder (such amount, with respect to each Offset Holder as of each applicable Distribution Date, its “Offset Amount” for all distributions payable on such Distribution Date). The applicable Offset Amount for each Offset Holder shall be withheld from payment of all distributions payable to such Offset Holder and shall be paid by the Company directly to Management Co. on the applicable Distribution Date of each distribution in satisfaction of such Offset Amount before any distributions in respect of Class B Units are paid to such Offset Holder.

(b)Each Class B Member, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates holding Class B Units from time to time, hereby consents to such Class B Distribution Offset and hereby waives any right to (i) receive any applicable Offset Amount or payment of any and all distributions pursuant to this Agreement that are reduced by, and subject to, such Class B Distribution Offset and (ii) notice of the Company’s exercise of any such Class B Distribution Offset. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the amount of all Offset Amounts with respect to any Offset Holder withheld and paid by the Company in accordance with this Section 5.07 shall be treated as having been distributed to the applicable Offset Holder for all purposes of this Agreement, including the calculation of Capital Accounts under Section 4.08. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if on the applicable Distribution Date with respect to any distributions payable to holders of Class B Units (including any Offset Holder) pursuant to this Agreement, the Offset Amount withheld from such distributions to any Offset Holder and paid to Management Co. pursuant to the Class B Distribution Offset shall be insufficient to satisfy and pay in full the Offset Amount of such Offset Holder as of such Distribution Date, then the amount of such Offset Amount that remains unpaid by such Offset Holder after giving effect to the Class B Distribution Offset on such Distribution Date, shall thereafter remain due and payable to Management Co. by such Offset Holder, shall constitute an Offset Loan pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, and shall accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the Management Services Agreement.

5.08Other Payments.

(a)Any and all Pre-Effective Date Excess Insurance Proceeds, Subcontractor Delay Liquidated Damages, High Banks Transmission Proceeds, Loss Reduction Amounts (but only to the extent attributable to Loss Reduction Activities occurring prior to the CEPF Closing), and amounts in respect of Network Upgrades, in each case, received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be paid in immediately available funds to the XXXX Member promptly following receipt thereof by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary (and the payment of such amounts shall not constitute a distribution pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, or Section 5.03 or otherwise for any purposes of the Act, nor shall there be any adjustment to any Member’s Capital Accounts in respect of any such payment, pursuant to Section 4.08 or otherwise).

(b)Any and all Tax Equity Proceeds received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be paid in immediately available funds to the XXXX Member promptly following receipt thereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (and the payment of such amounts shall not constitute a distribution pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, or Section 5.03 or otherwise for any purposes of the Act, nor shall there be any adjustment to any Member’s Capital Account in respect of any such payment, pursuant to Section 4.08 or otherwise).

(c)Any and all State Tax Credit Payments received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be paid in immediately available funds to the XXXX Member promptly following receipt thereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (and the payment of such amounts shall not constitute a distribution pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, or Section 5.03 or otherwise for any purposes of the Act, nor shall there be any adjustment to any Member’s Capital Account in respect of any such payment, pursuant to Section 4.08 or otherwise).

It is the intent of the Members that the Manager of the Company be deemed to be a “manager” of the Company (as defined in Section 18-101(12) of the Act) for all purposes under the Act.

(b)Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in the definitions of “Guaranteed Tax Credit Dispute,” “Loss Reduction Activity,” and “Triggering Event Notice” and in Section 3.06, Section 3.08(b)(vii), Section 4.04(b), Section 4.05(b), Section 6.01, Section 6.03, Section 7.01(a), Section 8.03, Section 10.01, Section 12.01(a), and Section 13.04, the Manager shall have full and exclusive power and authority on behalf of the Company to conduct, direct, and exercise control over all activities of the Company, to manage and administer the business and affairs of the Company, to make all determinations on behalf of the Company or otherwise under this Agreement, and to do or cause to be done any and all acts considered by the Manager to be necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of the Company, including the authority to bind the Company in making Contracts and incurring obligations in the Company’s name in the course of the Company’s business, without the need for approval by or any other consent from any other Member. Except to the extent that authority is delegated from the Manager to a Member in writing, no Member will have any authority to bind the Company or to transact any business for the Company. Except for those matters that, pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement, require the consent or approval of Members, no Member shall have the right to vote, approve, or consent to any matter whatsoever, including any other matter that otherwise requires approval of Members under the Act, and each Member hereby waives any and all other voting, approval, and consent rights with respect to the Company, other than those rights expressly provided in this Agreement. The Manager may delegate to one or more Persons all or any part of its power, authority, and duties as Manager hereunder, including, subject to Section 6.03(p), pursuant to any management services agreement the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may enter into with any Affiliate of the Manager or the Company, except for such power and authority to consent to Major Decisions and any other matters expressly requiring a vote by or consent of the Members pursuant to this Agreement, which power and authority to consent to or vote on such matters will be expressly retained by such Members.

6.02Standard of Care.

(a)Except for those duties expressly set forth in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, neither the Manager nor any Member shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Company or any other Member, and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the Manager or any Member otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to restrict or eliminate to such extent, such duties and liabilities of the Manager and such Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall eliminate or limit (i) the express contractual provisions set forth herein or (ii) the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

897613.05-WILSR01A - MSW

(b)Each Member acknowledges its express intent, and agrees with each other Member for the mutual benefit of all the Members, that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement:

(i)to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, neither the Manager nor any Member, in its capacity as such, nor any of the Manager’s or such Member’s or any of its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, stockholders, managers, members, partners, Affiliates, employees, Representatives, or agents shall have any fiduciary duty to the Company, any other Member, or any other Person in connection with the Company, the business and affairs of the Company, any act, omission, or decision in connection therewith, or any consent or approval given or withheld pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and

(ii)the provisions of this Section 6.02 will apply for the benefit of the Manager and each Member, and, subject to Section 6.02(d) and the applicable Decision Standard set forth in Section 6.03 with respect to the matters set forth therein, no standard of care, duty, or other legal restriction or theory of liability shall limit or modify the right of any Member to vote in the manner determined by such Member in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without cause, subject to such conditions as it shall deem appropriate, and without taking into account the interests of, and without incurring liability to, the Company, any other Member, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, managers, members, partners, officers, or employees.

(c)To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, but except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Member hereby releases and forever discharges the Manager and each other Member and their respective Affiliates from all liabilities that the Manager, such other Member, or its Affiliates might owe, under the Act or otherwise, to the Company, the releasing Member, or its Affiliates on the ground that any decision of the Manager or such other Member to grant or withhold any vote, consent, or approval constituted the breach or violation of any standard of care, any fiduciary duty, or any other legal restriction or theory of liability applicable to the Manager or such other Member or its Affiliates; provided, however, that nothing herein shall eliminate the Manager’s or any Member’s liability for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.02 shall limit or waive any Claims against, Actions, rights to xxx, other remedies, or other recourse of the Company, the Manager, any Member, or any other Person may have against any Member for a breach of contract claim relating to any binding agreement, including any breach of this Agreement.

897613.05-WILSR01A - MSW

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, whenever the Manager makes a determination or takes or declines to take (or causes or permits the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) any other action, in its capacity as such as opposed to in its individual capacity, then, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, the Manager shall make such determination or take or decline to take (or cause or permit the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards (including fiduciary standards) imposed by this Agreement. A determination or other action or inaction will conclusively be deemed to be in “good faith” for all purposes of this Agreement, if the Manager in making such determination or taking or declining to take (or causing or permitting the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) such other action (i) reasonably believes that the determination or other action or inaction is in the best interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) does not take or decline to take (or cause or permit the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) such action with intent to benefit any other business now owned or hereafter acquired by the Manager or any of its Affiliates to the detriment of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(e)Without limiting the foregoing, the Manager shall, and shall carry out its obligations hereunder, in accordance with all applicable Laws and requirements of this Agreement.

8.03Partnership Representative.

(a)The Manager shall serve as the “partnership representative” of the Company within the meaning of Section 6223(a) of the Code (the “Partnership Representative”). The Partnership Representative shall inform each other Member of all material matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as the Partnership Representative by giving notice thereof on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to each other Member copies of all material written communications it may receive in that capacity. The Manager is hereby directed and authorized to take whatever steps it, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or desirable to perfect such designation, including filing any forms or documents with the IRS, designating an individual to serve as the sole individual through whom the Partnership Representative will act, and taking such other action as may from time to time be required under the Treasury Regulations. The Manager will remain as the Partnership Representative so long as it retains any ownership interests in the Company unless it requests that it not serve as Partnership Representative; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall not be permitted to resign unless and until the Members have found a replacement Partnership Representative approved unanimously in writing by the Members.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and with the exception that the Class A Member Approval and Class B Member Approval described in this paragraph is not required for any Guaranteed Tax Credit Dispute, the Partnership Representative must: (i) obtain Class A Member Approval and Class B Member Approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) with respect to (y) commencing any judicial or administrative action or appealing any adverse determination of a Governmental Authority, in each case relating to Taxes and (z) surrendering, settling or compromising any audit or proceeding relating to Taxes, in each case of clause (y) or (z), only to the extent such action, adverse determination, audit or proceeding, as applicable, relates to a taxable period during which a Member other than NEP CEPF Member or any of its Affiliates held Class A Units or Class B Units; and (ii) inform and consult with each Class A Member and Class B Member, on a timely basis, regarding the status of investigations, audits, proceedings and negotiations with any Governmental Authority, in each case, to the extent relating to Taxes and a taxable period during which a Member other than NEP CEPF Member or any of its Affiliates held Class A Units or Class B Units. Any reasonable cost or expense incurred by the Partnership Representative in connection with its duties, including the preparation for or pursuance of administrative or judicial proceedings, shall be paid by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Class A Member Approval nor Class B Member Approval shall be required pursuant to this Section 8.03 in connection with any Guaranteed Tax Credit Dispute; provided that the Partnership Representative shall keep the Class A Members and the Class B Members reasonably informed in connection with the developments in any a Guaranteed Tax Credit Dispute and consider any reasonable comments received in connection therewith.

897613.05-WILSR01A - MSW

(c)The Partnership Representative may, in its reasonable discretion, make the election provided by Section 6221(b) of the Code to have Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code not apply (the “Election Out”).

(d)If the Internal Revenue Service proposes an adjustment in the amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Company, or any Member’s (or former Member’s) distributive share thereof, and such adjustment results in an “imputed underpayment” as described in Section 6225(b) of the Code (a “Covered Audit Adjustment”), the Partnership Representative may (but shall not be required to) elect, to the extent that such election is available (taking into account whether the Partnership Representative has received any needed information on a timely basis from the Members and former Members, if applicable), and the Election Out was not previously made, to apply the alternative method provided by Section 6226 of the Code (the “Alternative Method”). To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not elect the Alternative Method with respect to a Covered Audit Adjustment, the Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) request information necessary to, and to make any modifications available under Sections 6225(c) of the Code to the extent that such modifications are available (taking into account whether the Partnership Representative has received any needed information on a timely basis from the Members and former Members) as would, reduce any Company Level Taxes payable by the Company with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment, and (b) if requested by a Member, provide to such Member information allowing such Member to file an amended U.S. federal income Tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code, to the extent that such amended return and payment of any related U.S. federal income Taxes would reduce any Company Level Taxes payable by the Company with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment (after taking into account any modifications described in clause (a)). Similar procedures shall be followed in connection with any state or local income Tax audit that incorporates rules similar to Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code.

(e)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Taxes, penalties, and interest payable under Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code by the Company (“Company Level Taxes”) shall be treated as attributable to the Members (and former Members if applicable) of the Company, and the Partnership Representative shall cause the Company to allocate the burden of any such Company Level Taxes to those Members (and former Members if applicable) to whom such amounts are reasonably attributable (whether as a result of their status, actions, inactions, or otherwise), taking into account the effect of any modifications described in Section 8.03(d) that reduce the amount of Company Level Taxes. All Company Level Taxes allocated to a Member (or a former Member if applicable), at the option of the Manager, shall (i) be promptly paid to the Company by such Member (or former Member if applicable) (“Option A”) or (ii) be paid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 and, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member pursuant to Section 5.03 (“Option B”). If the Manager selects Option A, the Company’s payment of the Company Level Taxes allocated to the applicable Member (or former Member if applicable) shall be treated as a distribution to such Member (or former Member) and the payment by such Member (or former Member) to the Company shall be treated as a capital contribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that such payments shall not affect the Capital Accounts of, any other contributions to be made by, or the distributions and allocations to be made to the applicable Members (or former Member) under this Agreement. If the Manager selects Option B, the applicable Member shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as having received a distribution of the amount of its allocable share of the Company Level Taxes at the time such Company Level Taxes are paid by the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Member (whether or not such Member becomes a Member after

897613.05-WILSR01A - MSW

the Effective Date) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members (or former Members if applicable) from and against any liability for Company Level Taxes allocated to such Member in accordance with this Section 8.03(e) (including, with respect to any former Member, any Company Level Taxes allocated to such former Member that are attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) during which such former Member was treated as holding an interest in the Company).

(f)If any Member intends to file a notice of inconsistent treatment under Section 6222(c) of the Code, such Member shall give reasonable notice under the circumstances to the other Members of such intent and the manner in which the Member’s intended treatment of an item is (or may be) inconsistent with the treatment of that item by the other Members.

(g)Except as may be required by applicable Law, the Manager and the Company shall not make any election or take any action, including such elections or actions specifically authorized under this Section 8.03, that reasonably would be expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on the XXXX Member or the NEP CEPF Member or any of their Affiliates or direct or indirect investors.

8.04Certain Agreements. Each Member represents, as of the Effective Date and the CEPF Closing Date, and covenants to the Company and each other Member that, during the period in which such Member holds a Membership Interest in the Company, (a) such Member’s ownership of a Membership Interest (and any indirect ownership of such Membership Interest) will not (i) during the applicable investment Tax credit recapture period or any applicable depreciation recovery period of a Tax Equity Entity with respect to any direct or indirect asset, cause any portion of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ assets or their respective Subsidiaries to be treated as “tax-exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code or (ii) result in a Tax Equity Entity having a direct or indirect owner that (A) is not “United States person” within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30) (other than any such owner who holds its interest in the Tax Equity Entity indirectly through an entity classified as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), (B) is subject to withholding pursuant to Section 1446 of the Code with respect to its interest in the Company, or (C) during (y) the period that production Tax credits under Section 45 of the Code (or any successor provision) may be claimed with respect to the output of any direct or indirect asset of a Tax Equity Entity, or (z) the period that includes any applicable depreciation recovery period of any direct or indirect asset of a Tax Equity Entity and continues until the one year anniversary thereof, is a Related Party; and (b) such Member is not a “publicly traded partnership” (within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code).

(e)The cost of preparing any report, financial statements, or other information required to be prepared by the Company pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall be borne by the Company.

This Article 11 shall apply to any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement (whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, and whether arising at law or in equity), including (a) any dispute regarding the construction, interpretation, performance, validity, or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement or whether any Person is in compliance with, or breach of, any provisions of this Agreement, and (b) subject to Section 11.02, any deadlock among the Members with respect to any matter subject to a vote of the Members, and (c) the applicability of this Article 11 to a particular dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article 11 shall not apply to any matters that, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, are to be determined solely by the Manager. Any dispute to which this Article 11 applies is referred to herein as a “Dispute.” With respect to a particular Dispute, each Member that is a party to such Dispute is referred to herein as a “Disputing Member.” The provisions of this Article 11 shall be the exclusive method of resolving Disputes.

11.02Negotiation to Resolve Disputes. If a Dispute arises, the Disputing Members (or agents thereof) shall promptly meet (whether by telephone or in person) in a good faith attempt to resolve the Dispute.

11.03Courts. If a Dispute is still unresolved following ten (10) Business Days after the Disputing Members attempted in good faith to resolve the Dispute in accordance with Section 11.02, then any of such Disputing Members may submit such Dispute to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, in the event that such court does not have jurisdiction over the subject matter of such dispute, to another court of the State of Delaware or a U.S. federal court located in the State of Delaware (collectively, “Delaware Courts”).

Each of the Members hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue in any Dispute in the Delaware Courts and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any action, suit, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH MEMBER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN

11.04Specific Performance. The Members understand and agree that (a) irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms, (b) although monetary damages may be available for the breach of such covenants and agreements such monetary damages are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement, would be an inadequate remedy therefor and shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Member’s or the Company’s right to specific performance, and (c) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right none of the Members would have entered into this Agreement.

12.01Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to occur of the following events (each a “Dissolution Event”):

(a)consent of the Manager, Class A Member Approval, and Class B Member Approval; or

(b)an event that makes it unlawful for the business of the Company to be carried on; provided that, if such an event occurs, then the Class A Member Representative and Class B Member Representative shall negotiate in good faith to determine a workaround to allow the business of the Company to be lawfully carried on and such event shall not be deemed a “Dissolution Event” unless and until the Members mutually agree that no such workaround is reasonably feasible.

897613.05-WILSR01A - MSW

Each Member hereby expressly waives its right to make an application for, or otherwise seek or pursue, the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 18-802 of the Act.

12.02Winding-Up and Termination.

(a)On the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Manager shall, or shall designate another Person to, serve as liquidator. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of winding-up shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Members. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(i)as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final winding-up, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the liquidator’s choosing of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last calendar day of the month in which the dissolution occurs or the final winding-up is completed, as applicable;

(ii)the liquidator shall discharge from Company funds all of the Indebtedness of the Company and other debts, liabilities, expenses, and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in winding-up and any loans described in Section 4.05) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and

(iii)all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members, subject to Section 5.07, as follows:

(A)the liquidator may sell any or all Company property, including to Members, and any resulting gain or loss from each sale shall be computed and allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Members in accordance with Section 5.04 and Section 12.02(b);

(B)with respect to all Company property that has not been sold, the fair market value of that property shall be determined and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, and deduction inherent in property that has not been previously reflected in the Capital Accounts would be allocated among the Members if there were a taxable Disposition of that property for the fair market value of that property on the date of distribution, as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion (it being agreed by the Members that a determination by the Manager that the fair market value of any such property equals the value of such property reflected in current financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP shall be deemed reasonable); and

897613.05-WILSR01A - MSW

(C)Company property (including cash) shall be distributed among the Members in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances; and those distributions shall be made before the end of the taxable year in which liquidation of the Company occurs or, if later, within 90 days after the date of the liquidation of the Company.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.04 to the contrary, in the Fiscal Year or other applicable period in which a Dissolution Event occurs, items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after giving effect to such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount of the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 5.01.

(c)The distribution of cash or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.02 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its Membership Interest and all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented pursuant to Section 18-502(b) of the Act. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for those funds.

(d)No dissolution or termination of the Company shall relieve a Member from any obligation to the extent such obligation has accrued as of the date of such dissolution or termination. Upon such termination, any books and records of the Company that the liquidator reasonably determines may ever be needed again by one or more Persons who were Members as of the dissolution or termination shall be retained by the Manager or its designee, who shall keep such books and records (subject to review by any Person that was a Member at the time of dissolution) for a period at least three (3) years. After the expiration of such period of three (3) years, if the Manager (or its designee) no longer agrees to keep such books and records, it shall offer the Persons who were Members at the time of dissolution or termination a reasonable opportunity to take over such custody, (i) shall deliver such books and records to such Persons if they elect to take over such custody (or as all of such Persons otherwise direct) and, upon request by any other Person that elects to take custody (and at such other Person’s cost), deliver a copy of such books and records to such other Person, or (ii) may destroy such books and records if no such Person so elects.

12.03Deficit Capital Accounts. No Member will be required to pay to the Company, to any other Member or to any third party any deficit balance that may exist from time to time in its or another Member’s Capital Account. However, in the event the Company’s indirect interest in Moonlight Bay Company or Stargrass Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) and Moonlight Bay Holdings or Stargrass Holdings has a deficit capital account balance (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all taxable years of Moonlight Bay Holdings or Stargrass Holdings, as applicable, including the taxable year in which such liquidation occurs), then the Members will each make Capital Contributions to the Company in an aggregate amount as shall be necessary to restore the deficit capital account of Moonlight Bay Holdings or Stargrass Holdings, as applicable, to the extent required under Section 10.2 of the Moonlight Bay Company LLC Agreement or Section 10.2 of the Stargrass Company LLC Agreement, as applicable, with each Member being required to fund its pro rata share of such Capital Contribution in proportion to the cumulative amount of Net Loss allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.04 in the then-current and all prior periods, and such aggregate amount will be further contributed by the Company to Moonlight Bay Holdings or Stargrass Holdings, as applicable, to be used to restore such deficit capital account.

ARTICLE 13

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.01Notices. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests, or consents provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered to the recipient by electronic mail (a copy of which may be delivered in person or by courier or mail). A notice, request, or consent given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the applicable Member. All notices, requests, and consents to be sent to a Member must be sent to or made at the addresses given for that Member on Exhibit A or such other address as that Member may specify by notice to the Manager and the other Members. Any notice, request, or consent to the Company must be given to all of the Members. Whenever any notice is required to be given by Law, the Delaware Certificate, or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

13.02Entire Agreement; Superseding Effect. This Agreement together with the XXXX/NEP APA (and each other agreement required hereby and thereby) constitutes the entire agreement of the Members and their Affiliates relating to the Company and the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all provisions and concepts contained in all prior agreements.

13.03Effect of Waiver or Consent. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Member in the performance by that Member of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Member of the same or any other obligations of that Member with respect to the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, failure on the part of a Member to complain of any act of any Member or to declare any Member in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Member of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations has run.

13.04Amendment or Restatement. Each of this Agreement and the Delaware Certificate may, subject to Section 6.03, be amended or restated only by a written instrument executed (or, in the case of the Delaware Certificate, approved) by the Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Manager may amend this Agreement without the approval of any Members (i) to implement the valid admission of New Members or Assignees as Members; (ii) to correct typographical, formatting, cross-referencing, or other similar errors; and (iii) to update Exhibit A from time to time to reflect the valid admission of New Members, the valid admission of Assignees as Members, the making of additional Capital Contributions by Members, the issuances of Class A Units, Class B Units, or other classes or groups of Membership Interests, adjustments to the Pro Rata Share applicable to any Units pursuant to Section 4.02, and the Disposition of Membership Interests, so long as such transactions were approved and consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) if the Manager determines that any amendment of this Agreement is necessary to satisfy any Law, the Members shall negotiate in good faith to enter into an amendment of this Agreement to satisfy such Law that is mutually agreeable.

13.05Binding Effect. Subject to the restrictions on Dispositions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Members and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

13.06Governing Law; Severability. THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory, non-waivable provision of the Act, such provision of the Act shall control. If any provision of the Act provides that it may be varied or superseded in a limited liability company agreement (or otherwise by agreement of the members or managers of a limited liability company), such provision shall be deemed superseded and waived in its entirety if this Agreement contains a provision addressing the same issue or subject matter. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Member or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, (a) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Members or circumstances is not affected thereby, and (b) the Members shall negotiate in good faith to replace that provision with a new provision that is valid and enforceable and that puts the Members in substantially the same economic, business, and legal position as they would have been in if the original provision had been valid and enforceable.

13.07Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those transactions; provided, however, that this Section 13.07 shall not obligate a Member to furnish guarantees or other credit supports by such Member’s Parent or other Affiliates.

(c)The Company, the Manager, the NEP CEPF Member, and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry and without any liability whatsoever, upon any action of the Class B Member Representative in all matters referred to herein, including that the Class B Member Representative has obtained any prior approval or consent of the Class B Members other than the NEP Class B Parties as may be required, under this Agreement or otherwise, to take any such action. Neither the Company, the Manager, the NEP CEPF Member, nor any other Person will be liable to any Class B Member, any of Affiliate thereof, or any other Person as a result of, in connection with, or relating to the performance of the Class B Member Representative’s duties and obligations under this Agreement, including with respect to any errors in judgment, negligence, oversight, breach of duty, or otherwise of the Class B Member Representative.
