(g) Subject to Article VIII, a Majority Interest shall take all actions that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with (i) each issuance of Membership Interests and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Membership Interests pursuant to this Section 3.1, (ii) reflecting the admission of such additional Members in the books and records of the Company as the record holder of such Membership Interest and (iii) all additional issuances of Membership Interests and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Membership Interests pursuant to this Section 3.1, in each case including amending this Agreement and Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereof as necessary to reflect any such issuance. Subject to Article VIII, a Majority Interest shall determine the relative rights, powers and duties of the holders of the Units or other Membership Interests being so issued. A Majority Interest shall do all things necessary to comply with the Delaware Act and is authorized and directed to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any future issuance of Membership Interests pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including compliance with any statute, rule, regulation or guideline of any federal, state or other governmental agency.

Section 3.2 Adjustment to Economic Units.

(a) From the Closing Date until November 30, 2019, the number of Economic Units held by each Economic Member shall be fixed at the number set forth opposite

each Economic Member’s name on Exhibit A. Thereafter, the number of Economic Units held by each Economic Member will adjust annually according to the terms of this Section 3.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the number of Economic Units shall at all times equal 1,000.

(b) No later than January 31 of each Fiscal Year commencing after November 30, 2019, the Members will cause the Accounting Member pursuant to its Management Services Agreement to deliver to the non-Accounting Member a calculation of the amount of Aggregate Distributed Cash for the current Adjustment Period (the “Distributed Cash Calculation”) and the calculation of each Economic Member’s Adjustment Percentage and Distribution Adjustment Amount for the current Fiscal Year based upon the Distributed Cash Calculation (collectively, the “Annual Calculations”).

(c) (i) Following receipt of the Annual Calculations, the non-Accounting Member will be afforded a period of 30 days to review the Annual Calculations, during which period the non-Accounting Member and its advisors shall have the right to inspect the work papers generated by the Accounting Member in preparation of the Annual Calculations and shall have reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the relevant personnel of the YieldCo General Partner and the Partnership Group and to information, books and records of the YieldCo General Partner, the Partnership Group and, to the extent permitted by the applicable Group Member Agreement, any Joint Venture. At or before the end of such 30-day review period, the non-Accounting Member will either (A) accept the Annual Calculations in their entirety, in which case, the Accounting Member’s calculations shall be final, conclusive and binding on such non-Accounting Member, or (B) deliver to the Accounting Member written notice and a written explanation of those items in the Annual Calculations which the non-Accounting Member (the “Disputing Member”) disputes and the proposed modification of such calculations, in which case only the items identified shall be deemed to be in dispute and the other items shall be deemed to be accepted with the effect set forth in (A) above. If a Member fails to accept or dispute the Annual Calculations before the end of the 30-day review period set forth above, such Annual Calculations shall be deemed to be final, conclusive and binding on such non-Accounting Member. Within a further period of ten days from the end of the aforementioned review period, the Members will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items.

(ii) Failing such resolution, either Member may refer the unresolved disputed items for final binding resolution to a nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants agreeable to both Members and having no significant preexisting relationship with either Member (the “Dispute Accountants”). In their review, the Dispute Accountants shall consider only those items or amounts in the Annual Calculations as to which the Disputing Member has disagreed and shall be instructed that they may not resolve any items in dispute such that the Disputing Member’s Adjustment Percentage or Distribution Adjustment Amount, as applicable, is greater than the greatest amount proposed by the Disputing Member or less than the least amount proposed by the Accounting Member. The Dispute Accountants shall deliver to the Members, within 30 days of reference of the matter to the Dispute Accountants, a report setting forth its calculations. The

decision of such Dispute Accountants will be final, conclusive and binding on the Members. The cost of the Dispute Accountants’ review and report of any good faith dispute shall be paid entirely by the Company. The cost of the Dispute Accountants’ review and report of any dispute not made in good faith shall be paid entirely by the Disputing Member.

(iii) If the Members fail to mutually agree on the Dispute Accountants, the Members shall thereafter promptly cause the AAA to appoint the Dispute Accountants, and in making its determination with respect to such appointment, the AAA shall take into account, and attempt to avoid appointing an accounting firm with, any significant preexisting relationship with any Member or their respective Affiliates. The fees and expenses of the AAA and the Dispute Accountants shall be apportioned in the same manner as described in Section 3.2(c)(ii).

(d) Upon the final, conclusive and binding determination of the Distributed Cash Calculation and the calculations of the Adjustment Percentages for each Member (collectively, the “Final Calculation”) for such Fiscal Year, the number of Economic Units held by each Economic Member will adjust for such Fiscal Year so that each Economic Member’s Ownership Percentage equals its Adjustment Percentage and the Company shall amend Exhibit A to reflect such adjustment.

Section 3.3 Adjustment to Management Units.

(a) After the Final Calculation for a Fiscal Year, in the event that a Management Member holds, and has held for at least the prior two consecutive Fiscal Years, at least 70% of the Economic Units, then such Management Member (the “Majority Option Management Member”) shall have the option, to be exercised prior to the earlier of 30 days after any Final Calculation and the end of the fiscal quarter of the Majority Option Management Member in which the Final Calculation is made (the “MU Exercise Period”), to require the other Management Member (the “Minority Option Management Member”) to Transfer to it, at no cost, a percentage of the aggregate outstanding Management Units owned by the Minority Option Management Member so that after giving effect to such Transfer the percentage of Management Units held by the Minority Option Management Member equals the percentage of Economic Units then held by the Minority Option Management Member (the “Management Unit Transfer”). To exercise the right to the Management Unit Transfer, the Majority Option Management Member shall deliver to the Company and the Minority Option Management Member written notice of its election to exercise such right before the expiration of the MU Exercise Period. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, the Majority Option Management Member shall succeed to all rights, title and interest in and to such Management Units and the Company shall amend Exhibit B to reflect such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Management Member waives for a given Fiscal Year its right to exercise the right to the Management Unit Transfer, or fails to exercise the right to the Management Unit Transfer during the MU Exercise Period, such waiver shall only apply to such Fiscal Year and shall not prevent a Management

Member that subsequently qualifies as a Majority Option Management Member from exercising the right to the Management Unit Transfer in any subsequent Fiscal Year.

(b) Upon the completion of the Management Unit Transfer in accordance with Section 3.3(a), no Minority Management Member shall have the right, upon subsequently regaining a certain Economic Unit Ownership Percentage or becoming the Majority Option Management Member, to exercise the right to the Management Unit Transfer or otherwise reacquire the Management Units it Transferred pursuant to Section 3.3(a).

Section 3.4 Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member shall be obligated personally for any of such debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company solely by reason of being a Member.

Section 3.5 Withdrawal of Members. No Member shall have any right to withdraw from the Company; provided, however, that when a Transferee becomes registered on the books and records of the Company as the Member with respect to the Membership Interest so Transferred, the Transferring Member shall cease to be a Member with respect to the Membership Interest so Transferred.

Section 3.6 Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Person in whose name any Membership Interest is registered on the books and records of the Company as the Member with respect to any Membership Interest and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Membership Interest on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule, regulation or guideline of any governmental agency.

Section 3.7 No Appraisal Rights. No Member shall be entitled to any valuation, appraisal or similar rights with respect to such Member’s Units, whether individually or as part of any class or group of Members, in the event of a merger, consolidation, sale of the Company or other transaction involving the Company or its securities unless such rights are expressly provided by the agreement of merger, agreement of consolidation or other document effectuating such transaction.

Section 4.1(h), any consolidation, merger or direct or indirect sale, assignment, gift, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise of all or substantially all of the assets of SP Parent or FS Parent shall not be a Transfer for purposes of this Section 4.1 and Section 4.2.

Any direct or indirect Transfer, Pledge or purported Transfer or Pledge of a Membership Interest not made in accordance with this Article IV shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, null and void, and the Company shall have no obligation to recognize any such Transfer, Pledge or purported Transfer or Pledge.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Management Member’s right to designate Directors, as provided in Section 9.1, shall not be Transferred (including in a Permitted Transfer) except as part of a Transfer permitted under the terms of this Agreement to one Transferee of all of the Member’s Units.

(f) No Member shall Transfer its Membership Interest (including a Permitted Transfer) unless and until the following have occurred: (i) the proposed Transferee shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and provided to the Company its name, address, taxpayer identification number and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file all required federal and state tax returns or reasonably requested by a Majority Interest, (ii) the Member proposing to make such Transfer shall have delivered to the Company an Opinion of Counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Company as to form, substance and identity of counsel) that no registration under the Securities Act is required in connection with such Transfer (unless the requirement of an opinion is waived by a Majority Interest) and (iii) the Company shall have been furnished with the documents effecting such Transfer executed and acknowledged by both the Transferring Member and Transferee, together with a written agreement of the Transferee (if not already a Member at the time of such Transfer) to become a party to and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Member, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(g) By acceptance of the Transfer of any Membership Interest in accordance with this Article IV, the Transferee of a Membership Interest shall be admitted as a Member with respect to the Membership Interests so Transferred to such Transferee when any such Transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company.

Each Member making a Transfer or Pledge or which is the subject of a direct or indirect Transfer or Pledge by its direct or indirect owners shall pay, or reimburse the Company for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Transfer or Pledge and the admission of the Transferee as a Member, if applicable, including the legal fees incurred in connection with the legal opinions referred to in Section 4.1(f).

Section 4.2 Membership Interest Right of First Offer.

(a) Except for a Permitted Transfer or a Transfer by a Majority Management Member or by its direct or indirect owners, no Member shall Transfer or permit an indirect Transfer by its direct or indirect owners of its Membership Interest except in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.2. If such Member (the “ROFO Seller”) or any of its direct or indirect owners wishes to solicit proposals from third parties to acquire the ROFO Seller’s Units or the direct or indirect interests in such ROFO Seller, the ROFO Seller shall first provide a notice (the “ROFO Notice”) to the other Member (the “ROFO Non-Selling Member” and, together with the ROFO Seller, the “ROFO

Parties”), with a copy to the Company, containing a request for the ROFO Non-Selling Member to provide an agreement (the “ROFO Units Purchase Agreement”) specifying the purchase price (the “ROFO Price”) and other terms and conditions on which the ROFO Non-Selling Member is willing to purchase all but not less than all of the ROFO Seller’s Units (the “ROFO Units”).

(b) The ROFO Non-Selling Member may deliver the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement up to 30 days after receiving the ROFO Notice. If the ROFO Non-Selling Member submits a ROFO Units Purchase Agreement within the time period specified herein, the ROFO Seller shall have 15 days from the date the ROFO Seller received the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement to accept the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement by notice to the ROFO Non-Selling Member and the Company (the “ROFO Acceptance Notice”). Promptly after the delivery of the ROFO Acceptance Notice, the ROFO Parties shall execute the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement and deliver a copy to the Company. If the ROFO Seller does not deliver a ROFO Acceptance Notice within such 15 day period, the ROFO Parties shall, for a period of 60 days from the date the ROFO Seller received the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement (or such shorter period as they agree), negotiate in good faith the terms of the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement. Upon agreement by the ROFO Parties, the ROFO Parties shall execute the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement and deliver a copy to the Company. If the ROFO Non-Selling Member fails to deliver the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement within the time period set forth above, the ROFO Seller may, during the next 120 days, Transfer the ROFO Units to a third party Transferee or permit the indirect Transfer of the ROFO Units by the direct or indirect owners of the ROFO Seller (i) subject to the applicable terms and restrictions of this Agreement, including this Article IV and (ii) subject to the ROFO Non-Selling Member’s approval of the Transferee or the transferee of such indirect interest, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

(c) If a ROFO Units Purchase Agreement is executed, the ROFO Seller shall sell and the ROFO Non-Selling Member must purchase the ROFO Units in the manner, and subject to the terms and conditions, described in such ROFO Units Purchase Agreement. If the Members do not execute a ROFO Units Purchase Agreement within 60 days from the date the ROFO Seller received the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement, the ROFO Seller may, during the next 120 days, Transfer the ROFO Units to a third party Transferee or permit the indirect Transfer of the ROFO Units by the direct or indirect owners of the ROFO Seller (i) at a purchase price not less than 105% of the ROFO Price and upon terms no more favorable, taken as a whole, to the proposed Transferee or transferee of such indirect interest than those specified in the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement, (ii) subject to the applicable terms and restrictions of this Agreement, including this Article IV and (iii) subject to the ROFO Non-Selling Member’s approval of the Transferee or the transferee of such indirect interest, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Sales of the ROFO Units to the ROFO Non-Selling Member pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be made at the offices of the Company within 60 days of the execution of the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement or on such other date as the Members may agree. Such sales shall be effected by the ROFO Seller’s delivery of the ROFO

Units, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions imposed by the governing documents of the Company and securities laws), to the ROFO Non-Selling Member, against payment to the ROFO Seller of the ROFO Price by the ROFO Non-Selling Member and on the terms and conditions specified in the ROFO Units Purchase Agreement.

Section 4.3 OpCo Transfer Generally.

(a) The term “transfer,” when used in this ‎Section 4.3 shall mean a transaction by which the holder of an OpCo Membership Interest assigns all or any part of such OpCo Membership Interest to another Person who is or becomes an OpCo Member as a result thereof, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise (but not the pledge, grant of security interest, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage), including any transfer upon foreclosure or other exercise of remedies of any pledge, security interest, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage.

(b) Except as provided in Section 4.3(c), nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or limit a disposition by any stockholder, member, partner or other owner of the OpCo Managing Member or any OpCo Non-Managing Member of any or all of such Person’s shares of stock, membership interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests in the OpCo Managing Member or such OpCo Non-Managing Member and the term “transfer” in this ‎Section 4.3 shall not include any such disposition.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, except with respect to Permitted OpCo Transfers, if a Sponsor (the “Offering OpCo Member”) receives a bona fide offer that the Offering OpCo Member has decided to accept to transfer all or any portion of its Common Units and OpCo Subordinated Units and the number of Class B Shares equal thereto (collectively, the “Offered OpCo Units”), the OpCo ROFR Rightholder will have a right of first refusal to acquire the Offered OpCo Units in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 4.3(c).

(ii) The Offering OpCo Member will, within five Business Days of receipt of any transfer offer that the Offering OpCo Member has decided to accept, give written notice (the “Offering OpCo Member Notice”) to the Company and the OpCo ROFR Rightholder stating that it has received a bona fide offer for a transfer of the Offered OpCo Units and specifying:

(A) the number of Offered OpCo Units proposed to be transferred by the Offering OpCo Member;

(B) the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the transfer, which will not be less than 60 days from the date of the Offering OpCo Member Notice;

(C) the purchase price per Offered OpCo Unit (which will be payable solely in cash) and the other material terms and conditions of the transfer; and

(D) the name of the Person who has offered to purchase such Offered OpCo Units.

(iii) The Offering OpCo Member Notice will constitute the Offering OpCo Member’s offer to transfer the Offered OpCo Units to the OpCo ROFR Rightholder, which offer will be irrevocable until the end of the OpCo ROFR Rightholder Option Period described in Section 4.3(c)(v)(A).

(iv) By delivering the Offering OpCo Member Notice, the Offering OpCo Member will be deemed, without the necessity of further action, to represent and warrant to the OpCo ROFR Rightholder that:

(A) the Offering OpCo Member has full right, title and interest in and to the Offered OpCo Units;

(B) the Offering OpCo Member has all the necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to transfer such Offered OpCo Units as contemplated by this Section 4.3(c); and

(C) the Offered OpCo Units are free and clear of any and all liens other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement.

(v) Exercise of the Right of First Refusal.

(A) The OpCo ROFR Rightholder will have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase all and not less than all of the Offered OpCo Units for a period of 15 Business Days following the receipt of the applicable Offering OpCo Member Notice (such period, the “OpCo ROFR Rightholder Option Period”), by delivering a written notice to the Offering OpCo Member (an “OpCo Member ROFR Exercise Notice”) specifying its desire to purchase all of the Offered OpCo Units, on the terms and for the purchase price set forth in the Offering OpCo Member Notice. Any OpCo Member ROFR Exercise Notice will be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the OpCo ROFR Rightholder.

(B) The failure of the OpCo ROFR Rightholder to deliver an OpCo Member ROFR Exercise Notice by the end of the OpCo ROFR Rightholder Option Period, will constitute both a waiver of its rights of first refusal under this Section 4.3(c) with respect to the transfer of Offered OpCo Units and an election to purchase none of the Offered OpCo Units, but will not affect its respective rights with respect to any future transfers.

(vi) In the event that the OpCo ROFR Rightholder has exercised its right to purchase all and not less than all of the Offered OpCo Units, then the Offering OpCo Member will sell such Offered OpCo Units to the OpCo ROFR Rightholder, and the OpCo ROFR Rightholder will purchase such Offered OpCo Units, on the terms set forth in the Offering OpCo Member Notice within 60 days following the expiration of the OpCo ROFR Rightholder Option Period (which period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed 90 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain required approvals or consents from any governmental authority). Each OpCo Member will take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the sale contemplated by this Section 4.3(c)(vi), including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate. At the closing of any sale and purchase pursuant to this Section 4.3(c)(vi), the Offering OpCo Member will deliver to the OpCo ROFR Rightholder certificates (if any) representing the Offered OpCo Units to be sold, free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than those contained in this Agreement and the Operating Agreement), accompanied by evidence of transfer and all necessary transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed, if necessary, against receipt of the purchase price therefor from the OpCo ROFR Rightholder by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(vii) In the event that the OpCo ROFR Rightholder does not elect to purchase all of the Offered OpCo Units, then, provided the Offering OpCo Member has also complied with the provisions of this Section 4.3(c), to the extent applicable, the Offering OpCo Member may transfer all of such Offered OpCo Units, at a price per Offered OpCo Unit not less than the amount specified in the Offering OpCo Member Notice and on other terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable in the aggregate to the proposed purchaser than those specified in the Offering OpCo Member Notice, but only to the extent that such transfer occurs within 90 days after expiration of the OpCo ROFR Rightholder Option Period. Any Offered OpCo Units not transferred within such 90-day period will be subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3(c) upon subsequent transfer.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither Sponsor may, without the prior written consent of the other Sponsor, transfer (which, for purposes of this Section 4.3(d), includes any indirect transfer of such OpCo Membership Interest) or exchange all or any portion of its Common Units and OpCo Subordinated Units or any related Class B Shares if, as a result of such transfer or exchange, such Sponsor will own, on a fully diluted basis, less than 17% of the “Percentage Interest” (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of the OpCo Managing Member; provided, that this Section 4.3(d) shall not apply to a transfer or exchange of Common Units, OpCo Subordinated Units or any related Class B Shares (i) which occurs after the fifth anniversary of the date hereof if such Sponsor also transfers all, but not less than all, of its ownership interest in the Company in such transaction or (ii) if such Sponsor also makes a Permitted Transfer of all, but not less than all, of its ownership interest in the Company in such transaction.

Article V

Section 5.1 Initial Capital Contributions. Prior to the date hereof, capital contributions totaling $1,000 were made to the Company and 1,000 Economic Units were issued in consideration therefor as set forth in Exhibit A. As of the date hereof, the Economic Members agree that the respective Capital Contributions of the Economic Members and Economic Units of the Economic Members are as set forth on Exhibit A.

Section 5.2 Additional Contributions. No Member shall be obligated to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Company; provided, however, that each Member shall pay or cause to be paid 50% of any amount owed by the Company to any Service Provider under any Management Service Agreement.

Section 5.3 Return of Contributions. Except as expressly provided herein, no Economic Member is 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.

Article VI
PROJECT OFFERS TO THE OPERATING COMPANY

Section 6.1 General. Each Member and its Affiliates shall have the right to offer to sell Projects to the Operating Company in accordance with this Article VI; provided, however, that no Member shall be obligated to make any offers or sales to the Operating Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each Project offered by a Member or its Affiliates to the Operating Company must, absent approval of a Majority Interest, qualify as an Acceptable Project.

Section 6.2 Offer Schedule. At least three months prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year, a Majority Interest shall determine (i) whether the Target Distributed Cash Increase Range for the upcoming Fiscal Year should be altered from the amount provided on the Target Distributed Cash Increase Schedule and (ii) a schedule of expected Project offers by each Member to meet the Target Distributed Cash Increase Range for such Fiscal Year (each, an “Annual Offer Schedule”). The Annual Offer Schedule shall control each Member’s right to offer Projects to the Operating Company and shall set forth, at a minimum, the maximum amount of Target Distributed Cash Increase that each Member shall be permitted to offer to the Operating Company, the Projects that each Member contemplates offering to achieve such Target Distributed Cash Increase, any restrictions on the timing of such offers and agreements of the Management Members with respect to the Annual Offer Schedule. The Annual Offer Schedule may set forth alternative Projects proposed to be offered by a Member to the Operating Company. Subject to Section 6.3, in the absence of an Annual Offer Schedule, each Fiscal Year, each Member will have the right to offer to the Operating Company, at a minimum, Projects with Forecasted Distributed Cash of 50% of the bottom of the Target Distributed Cash Increase Range for such Fiscal Year set forth on the Target Cash Distribution Increase Schedule (each, an “Annual Minimum Offer”). Subject to the Annual Offer Schedule, Section 6.3 or approval of a Majority Interest, no Member or its Affiliates may offer Projects to the Operating Company with Forecasted Distributed Cash which exceeds 50% of the uppermost point of the Target Distributed Cash Increase Range for such Fiscal Year set forth on the Target Cash Distribution Increase Schedule. The Members acknowledge that the OpCo ROFO Agreements do not impose an obligation on the parties thereto to sell any Project to the Operating Company but instead require the parties thereto to allow the Operating Company to make a first offer to purchase the Projects specified therein as provided therein.

Section 6.3 Increased Offer Rights.

(a) Extraordinary Events. (i) Subject to Section 6.3(a)(ii), in the event that a Project (the “Affected Project”) contributed or sold to the Operating Company by a Member (the “Affected Member”) experiences an Extraordinary Event, whether or not it results in the receipt of Extraordinary Proceeds by the applicable Project Company, (A) the Annual Offer Schedule for the following year shall provide for the offer of one or more additional Projects by the Affected Member or (B) in the absence of Annual Offer Schedules for such year, the Annual Minimum Offer of the Affected Member for such year will be increased to allow for the offer of one or more additional Projects by the Affected Member, in each case that in the aggregate have Forecasted Distributed Cash that, together with the remaining Forecasted Distributed Cash of the Affected Project, if

any, is not greater than 105% of the Forecasted Distributed Cash of the Affected Project immediately prior to the Extraordinary Event.

(ii) If the Operating Company or applicable Project Company receives Extraordinary Proceeds, the Affected Member shall have the right to cause the repair of the Affected Project with the Extraordinary Proceeds or offer to the Operating Company additional Projects pursuant to Section 6.3(a)(i) with a purchase price less than or equal to the amount of such Extraordinary Proceeds. If the Affected Project is not so repaired and the Affected Member and the Operating Company are unable to consummate such sale, the Members shall cause the Operating Company or applicable Project Company, as the case may be, to use such proceeds to acquire Common Units or, if a Majority Interest determines, the Members shall cause the Operating Company to distribute such proceeds. If the Operating Company or the applicable Project Company does not receive proceeds from an Extraordinary Event or the proceeds of the Extraordinary Event are insufficient to acquire additional Projects to replace the Distributed Cash lost in the Extraordinary Event or repair the Affected Project, the Affected Member may contribute additional Projects to the Operating Company without charge to the Operating Company or applicable Project Company or, at the election of the Affected Member, the Members shall cause the applicable Project Company to allow the Affected Member to repair the Affected Project without charge to any Group Member or the Project Company.

(b) Failure to Offer. (i) In the event that a Member (the “Non-Offering Member”) (1) notifies the other Member (the “Option Member”) that it will not make an offer as set forth the Annual Offer Schedule or an offer for an alternative Project of equivalent or less Forecasted Distributed Cash, or (2) fails to offer a Project within six months of the date set forth in the Annual Offer Schedule for such offer and fails during such period to make an offer for an alternative Project of equivalent or less Forecasted Distributed Cash, the Option Member shall have the right to offer additional Projects within three months of such notification or failure (but not prior to the beginning of Fiscal Year to which such Annual Offer Schedule applies) which have Forecasted Distributed Cash that is not greater than 105% of the Forecasted Distributed Cash that is not being satisfied by the Non-Offering Member.

(ii) If there is no Annual Offer Schedule for a Fiscal Year and a Non-Offering Member (1) notifies the Option Member that it will not offer Projects projected to meet its Annual Minimum Offer for such Fiscal Year or (2) fails to offer Projects before the end of a Fiscal Year that in the aggregate meet its Annual Minimum Offer for such Fiscal Year, the Option Member shall have the right to offer additional Projects within three months of such notification or, if no notification, during the first quarter of the next Fiscal Year which, when the Forecasted Distributed Cash of such Projects are aggregated with the Forecasted Distributed Cash of the other Projects contributed to the Operating Company during the year in which the Non-Offering Member failed to offer Projects, are sufficient to meet the Target Distributed Cash Increase Range for the year in which the Non-Offering Member failed to offer Projects.

(iii) Upon occurrence of a failure of the Non-Offering Member described in Section 6.3(b)(i) or (ii) and the corresponding contribution or sale of additional Projects by the Option Member, the Management Members shall modify the Annual Offer Schedule for the next Fiscal Year to (A) provide that the Non-Offering Member may offer Projects in addition to those permitted under Section 6.2 which produce the amount of additional Forecasted Distributed Cash that the Option Member contributed or sold in the prior year pursuant to ‎Section 6.3(b)(i) or (ii) and (B) correspondingly reduce the amount of Forecasted Distributed Cash the Option Member may offer. If there is no Annual Offer Schedule for the next Fiscal Year, the Non-Offering Member shall have the opportunity to offer a larger percentage of the Projects required to meet the Annual Minimum Offer of both Members, so that the aggregate Forecasted Distributed Cash produced by the Projects contributed by (A) the Non-Offering Member is increased above that permitted under Section 6.2 to produce the amount of additional Forecasted Distributed Cash that the Option Member contributed or sold in the prior year pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(i) or (ii) and (B) the Option Member is correspondingly reduced. If the Non-Offering Member cannot offer the additional Projects in such subsequent year, it will lose the right to cure such failed offer.

Section 6.4 Conflicts Committee Approval. The terms and conditions of the agreement pursuant to which the Operating Company would acquire a Project from a Member must be approved by the Conflicts Committee prior to consummation of such acquisition.

Section 6.5 Future Target Distributed Cash Increase Schedule. At least three months prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year, a Majority Interest shall determine the Target Distributed Cash Increase Schedule for the subsequent 10 Fiscal Years. To the extent a Majority Interest cannot agree on such modified Target Distributed Cash Increase Schedule, the existing Target Distributed Cash Increase Schedule shall remain in effect pending such determination, provided that the Target Distributed Cash Increase for the 10th Fiscal Year of the schedule shall remain the same as the preceding Fiscal Year.

Section 6.6 Delivery of Final Project Model. Any Member that sells or contributes a Project to the Operating Company pursuant to this Article VI shall deliver the final project model for such Project to the Company for consideration 30 days prior to the acquisition of such Project by the Operating Company.

Article VII
DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

Section 7.1 Distributions.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.3 or as otherwise set forth herein, within 50 days following the end of each Quarter commencing with the Quarter ending on August 31, 2015, an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to such Quarter shall be distributed in accordance with this Article VII to all Economic Members simultaneously, pro rata in accordance with each Economic Member’s

Ownership Percentage; provided that no distributions for any Fiscal Year beginning after November 30, 2019 will be made until after the Final Calculation for such Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Adjustment Percentages of the Members are in dispute in accordance with Section 3.2 at the time that a distribution is due, the Company shall distribute to each Economic Member only the amount of such distribution that is not being contested and the Company shall not distribute the remainder of such distribution until the Adjustment Percentages are determined to be final, binding and conclusive in accordance with Section 3.2.

(b) Each distribution in respect of an Economic Unit shall be paid by the Company only to the holder of record of such Economic Unit as of the record date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Company’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.

(i) In the event that there is a negative Adjustment Amount with respect to one Economic Member (a “Deficit Economic Member”) and the Adjustment Amount with respect to the other Economic Member is greater than or equal to zero (a “Surplus Economic Member”), all distributions due on the Deficit Economic Member’s Economic Units (the “Transferred Distribution”) shall be paid to the Surplus Economic Member, until such time as the Surplus Economic Member has received Transferred Distributions for such Fiscal Year equal to the Adjustment Amount. Thereafter, any remaining Available Cash shall be distributed in accordance with Section 7.1(a). In the event the Transferred Distributions paid in a Fiscal Year are insufficient to satisfy the Adjustment Amount, the difference between the Adjustment Amount and the Transferred Distributions (the “Transferred Distribution Shortfall”) shall accrue for the next Fiscal Year.

(ii) In the event that both Economic Members are Deficit Economic Members, the Adjustment Amounts for both Members shall be netted (the “Net Adjustment Amount”) and a Transferred Distribution shall be made from the Deficit Economic Member with the larger Adjustment Amount to the Deficit Economic Member with the smaller Adjustment Amount (the “Net Surplus Economic Member”) until such time as the Net Surplus Economic Member has received Transferred Distributions in such Fiscal Year equal to the Net Adjustment Amount. Thereafter, any remaining Available Cash shall be distributed in accordance with Section 7.1(a). In the event the Transferred Distributions received in such Fiscal Year are insufficient satisfy the Net Adjustment Amount, the difference between the Net Adjustment Amount and the Transferred Distribution (the “Net Transferred Distribution Shortfall” and, together with the Transferred Distribution Shortfall, the “Shortfall”) shall accrue for the next Fiscal Year.

(iii) In the event that both Economic Members are Surplus Economic Members, no adjustment to the distributions of Available Cash shall be made pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) and Available Cash shall be distributed in accordance with Section 7.1(a).

Section 7.2 Allocations. After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 7.3, the Company shall allocate Profits and Losses for any Allocation Year among the Economic Members in the manner that causes the balance of the Capital Account of each Economic Member to be equal to the amount which would have been distributed to such Economic Member pursuant to Section 7.1 if all of the assets of the Company had been sold on the last day of the Allocation Year for their Gross Asset Values (except that any Company asset that is sold in such Allocation Year shall be treated as if sold for an amount of cash equal to the sum of (x) the amount of any net cash proceeds actually received by the Company in connection with such disposition and (y) the Gross Asset Values of any property actually received by the Company in connection with such disposition).

Section 7.3 Special Allocations.

(a) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Allocation Year, each Economic Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such Allocation Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Allocation Years) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6), 1.704-2(g)(2) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provision. This Section 7.3(a) is intended to comply with the Company Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Except as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Allocation Year, any Economic Member with a share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such Allocation Year shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such Allocation Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Allocation Years) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. This Section 7.3(b) is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) In the event any Economic Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company gross income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Economic Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, if any, created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Economic Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in Section 7.2

and this Section 7.3 have been tentatively made as if this Section 7.3(c) and Section 7.3(d) were not in this Agreement.

(d) In the event any Economic Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Allocation Year in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Economic Member is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Economic Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Economic Member shall be specially allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.3(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Economic Member would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Article VII have been tentatively made as if Section 7.3(c) and this Section 7.3(d) were not in this Agreement.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Year shall be allocated to the Economic Members pro rata in accordance with each Economic Member’s Ownership Percentage.

(f) Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Year shall be allocated 100% to the Economic Member that bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Economic Member bears the economic risk of loss with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, such Economic Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Economic Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share such economic risk of loss.

(g) For purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Economic Members agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company shall be allocated to the Economic Members pro rata in accordance with each Economic Member’s Ownership Percentage.

(h) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall 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 item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Economic Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.3, the allocations set forth in Sections 7.3(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (h) (the “Required Allocations”) shall be taken into account so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of items of gross income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to each Economic Member pursuant to Section

and Section 7.3, together, shall be equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Economic Member under Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 had the Required Allocations and this Section 7.3(i) not otherwise been provided in this Agreement. The Company may take into account future Required Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Required Allocations previously made.

(j) Items of income, gain, loss and deduction realized in any taxable year that includes a dissolution event shall be allocated in a manner that will cause, to the extent possible, the ratio of each Economic Member’s Capital Account to the sum of all Economic Members’ Capital Accounts to be equal to such Economic Member’s Ownership Percentage. Upon a dissolution event, if any property is distributed in kind, any unrealized income, gain, loss, and deduction inherent in property that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously shall be allocated among the Economic Members as if there were a taxable disposition of that property for the fair market value of that property on the date of distribution.

(k) The allocations in Section 7.2, this Section 7.3 and Section 7.5, and the provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts, are included to ensure compliance with requirements of the federal income tax law (and any applicable state income tax laws). Such provisions are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1 and 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations and any amendment or successor provision thereto. The Management Members shall cause appropriate modifications to be made if unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with such Treasury Regulations, so long as such modifications do not cause a material change in the relative economic benefit of the Economic Members under this Agreement.

Section 7.4 Section 704(c). In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Economic Members to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition of same under this Agreement). In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by a Majority Interest in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 7.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Economic Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Section 7.5 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 Economic Members as of the last calendar day of the period for which

the allocation or distribution is to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during any taxable year there is a change in any Economic Member’s Ownership Percentage, the Economic Members agree that their allocable shares of such items for the taxable year shall be determined on any method determined by a Majority Interest to be permissible under Code Section 706 and the related Treasury Regulations to take account of the Economic Members’ varying Ownership Percentages.

Section 7.6 Withheld Taxes. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local or non-U.S. tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Company or the Economic Members shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Economic Members pursuant to this Article VII for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company is authorized to withhold from distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Economic Members and to pay over to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any other federal, state, local or non-U.S. law and shall allocate such amounts to those Economic Members with respect to which such amounts were withheld.

Section 7.7 Limitations on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other applicable law. All distributions required to be made under this Agreement shall be made subject to Sections 18-607 and 18-804 of the Delaware Act.

Section 8.4 Quorum; Voting Requirement.

(a) The presence, in person or by proxy or participating in accordance with Section 8.6, of a Majority Interest shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by the Management Members. Unless otherwise provided in Section 8.4(b) or by the Delaware Act, the affirmative vote of a Majority Interest present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall constitute a valid decision of the Management Members.

(b) At all times when there is a Minority Management Member, without first receiving the unanimous vote of the Management Members, the Company shall not, and shall cause the YieldCo General Partner, the Group Members and, to the extent it has rights to do so under the applicable Group Member Agreements, the Joint Ventures not to, and shall not authorize or permit any officer or agent of the Company on behalf of the Company or of the YieldCo General Partner, any Group Member or, to the extent it has rights to do so under the applicable Group Member Agreement, any Joint Venture to, effect any of the following actions:

(i) alter, repeal, amend or adopt any provision of its certificate of limited partnership, certificate of formation or certificate of incorporation or any agreement of limited partnership, limited liability company agreement or bylaws or any similar organizational or governing document if any such alteration, repeal, amendment or adoption would have an adverse effect on the rights or preferences of the Minority Management Member;

(ii) merge, consolidate or convert with or into any other Person (other than a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Partnership into another wholly owned Subsidiary of the Partnership) if any such merger consolidation or conversion would have a disproportionate adverse effect on the Minority Management Member;

(iv) change the classification of the Company or any Group Member or any Joint Venture for United States federal income tax purposes or take any action that would otherwise change the tax status of the Company or any Group

Member or any Joint Venture if any such change would have an adverse effect on the Minority Management Member.

(c) Without first receiving the prior written consent of the affected Management Member, the Company shall not, and shall cause the YieldCo General Partner, the Group Members and, to the extent it has rights to do so under the applicable Group Member Agreements, the Joint Ventures not to, and shall not authorize or permit any officer or agent of the Company on behalf of the Company or of the YieldCo General Partner, any Group Member or, to the extent it has rights to do so under the applicable Group Member Agreement, any Joint Venture to, enter into or approve any transaction containing any restriction on direct or indirect Transfers of ownership interests in the Company, the Partnership or the Operating Company by such Management Member or its Affiliates or any consolidations, mergers or direct or indirect sales, assignments, gifts, exchanges or any other dispositions by law or otherwise of all or substantially all of the assets of its Affiliated Sponsor.

Section 8.5 Management Member Deadlock.

(a) In the event that a Management Member is unable to obtain the requisite vote under Section 8.4 for the approval of any matter (such event, a “Deadlock”), either Management Member may give the other Management Member notice (a “Deadlock Notice”) that such matter has not been so approved. Within five days after receipt of the Deadlock Notice, the receiving Management Member shall submit to the other Management Member a written response (a “Deadlock Response”). The Deadlock Notice and the Deadlock Response shall each include (i) a statement setting forth the position of the Management Member giving the Deadlock Notice or Deadlock Response, as applicable, and a summary of arguments supporting such position and (ii) the name and title of a senior representative of such Management Member who has authority to settle the Deadlock. Within five days of the delivery of the Deadlock Response, the senior representatives of both Management Members named in the Deadlock Notice and Deadlock Response shall meet or communicate by telephone at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, and shall negotiate to the resolve the Deadlock.

(b) If such Deadlock has not been resolved, for any reason, within 30 days following delivery of the Deadlock Response, then each Management Member agrees to have the Chief Executive Officer of the Sponsor to which it is Affiliated meet or communicate by telephone with the Chief Executive Officer of the Sponsor to which the other Management Member is Affiliated at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, and shall negotiate to resolve the Deadlock.

(c) (i) If such Deadlock has not been resolved, for any reason, within 90 days following delivery of the Deadlock Response, then either Management Member (the “Shotgun Initiator”) may deliver to the other Management Member (the “Shotgun Recipient”) a notice of its intention to purchase all, but not less than all, of the

Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units owned by the Shotgun Recipient (the “Shotgun Notice”).

(ii) To be effective, the Shotgun Notice must: (A) be signed by the Shotgun Initiator; (B) contain an irrevocable offer to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units owned by the Shotgun Recipient for a cash price (the “Shotgun Price”); (C) contain a valuation by a nationally recognized investment banking firm attesting that the Shotgun Price represents the Fair Value of the applicable Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units; and (D) constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable offer for the sale and purchase of such Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units containing no representations or warranties other than with respect to ownership of title to the Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions imposed by the governing documents of the Company and the Operating Company and securities laws). Upon the delivery of a Shotgun Notice, no additional Shotgun Notices may be delivered by either Member.

(iii) Within 30 days of the Shotgun Recipient receiving the Shotgun Notice, the Shotgun Recipient shall irrevocably elect one of the following options, by delivering to the Shotgun Initiator a written election notice (such notice, a “Shotgun Election”): (A) accept the Shotgun Initiator’s offer to purchase the Shotgun Recipient’s Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units, (B) propose a counteroffer to purchase the Shotgun Initiator’s Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units at a price it reasonably considers equal to the Fair Value of such Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units, which election shall meet the requirements of an effective Shotgun Notice under Section ‎8.5(c)(ii) above, or (C) the Shotgun Recipient may irrevocably elect to have a nationally recognized investment banking firm conduct an auction process pursuant to Section 8.5(c)(v) to solicit offers from Persons, including the Sponsors and their Affiliates (each such Person, an “Auction Buyer”), with the objective of obtaining the highest price for the purchase for cash of all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Membership Interests in the Company and OpCo Subordinated Units of the Shotgun Initiator and the Shotgun Recipient, such purchase to occur on terms no less favorable than the non-price terms set forth in the Shotgun Notice. If the Shotgun Recipient does not irrevocably elect any of the foregoing options within the time allotted, then the Shotgun Recipient shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected to accept the offer for the Shotgun Initiator to purchase all of the Shotgun Recipient’s Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units.

(iv) In the event that the Shotgun Recipient proposes a counteroffer pursuant to Section 8.5(c)(iii)(B), the Shotgun Initiator shall, within 30 days of receiving the Shotgun Election, irrevocably elect to (A) accept the Shotgun Recipient’s counteroffer set forth in the Shotgun Election, or (B) have a nationally recognized investment banking firm conduct an auction process pursuant to Section 8.5(c)(v) to solicit offers from Auction Buyers with the objective of

obtaining the highest price for the purchase for cash of all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units of the Shotgun Initiator and the Shotgun Recipient, such purchase to occur on terms no less favorable than the non-price terms set forth in the Shotgun Election. If the Shotgun Initiator does not irrevocably elect any of the foregoing options within the time allotted, then the Shotgun Initiator shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected to accept the counteroffer for the Shotgun Recipient to purchase all of the Shotgun Initiator’s Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units.

(v) In the event of the initiation of an auction process as provided above, the Management Member that has elected to initiate the auction process (the “Auction Initiator”) shall be entitled, within 180 days after the later of the date of the Shotgun Notice or Shotgun Election that resulted in the auction process (or any longer period to which the non-Auction Initiator consents in writing) (such period, the “Auction Period”), to execute and deliver a binding, definitive purchase and sale agreement with an Auction Buyer, pursuant to which such Auction Buyer shall purchase all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units of the Shotgun Initiator and Shotgun Recipient for a price in cash (such price, the “Auction Price”) (such agreement, the “Binding Agreement”).

(vi) In the event that a Binding Agreement is executed and delivered by the Auction Initiator within the Auction Period and the rights and obligations of the Members are the same therein in all material respects, then the non-Auction Initiator shall be obligated to execute and deliver a counterpart to such Binding Agreement. Upon such execution and delivery by the non-Auction Initiator, the Shotgun Initiator and the Shotgun Recipient shall be obligated to sell all, but not less than all, of their outstanding Membership Interests and their OpCo Subordinated Units to the Auction Buyer pursuant to such Binding Agreement at the Auction Price and upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions.

(vii) In the event that the Shotgun Recipient initiates an auction process under Section 8.5(c)(iii) above, but a Binding Agreement is not delivered within the Auction Period, then the Shotgun Initiator may elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units owned by the Shotgun Recipient at the price and on the terms initially offered in the Shotgun Notice with a five percent (5%) discount and an additional deduction equal to the amount of the costs of the auction process borne by the Company or the Shotgun Initiator.

(viii) In the event that the Shotgun Initiator initiates an auction process under Section 8.5(c)(iv) above, but a Binding Agreement is not delivered within the Auction Period, then the Shotgun Recipient may elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units owned by the Shotgun Initiator at the price and on the terms initially offered in the Shotgun Election with a five percent (5%) discount and an additional deduction equal to

the amount of the costs of the auction process borne by the Company or the Shotgun Recipient.

(ix) In the event that an auction process is conducted and a Binding Agreement is executed and delivered and such transaction is consummated, the Auction Price shall be allocated between the Management Members in accordance with the relative Fair Values of their Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units. Within 15 days of the date of consummation of the auction process, each Management Member shall deliver in writing to the other Management Member its proposed allocation of the Auction Price, with an opinion from an impartial senior employee or partner at a nationally recognized investment banking firm attesting to the Fair Value of the Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units of each Member and that such allocation represents the fair allocation of the Auction Price based on the Fair Value of such Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units (each an “Auction Price Allocation Opinion”). If either Management Member fails to timely deliver an Auction Price Allocation Opinion, then the allocation of the Auction Price set forth in the other Management Member’s Auction Price Allocation Opinion shall be the final allocation of the Auction Price between the parties. The Management Members shall attempt to amicably determine the allocation of the Auction Price after delivery of the second Auction Price Allocation Opinion. In the event that, for any reason, the Management Members cannot agree in writing on the allocation of the Auction Price within 15 days of the date of the delivery of the second Auction Price Allocation Opinion, then the allocation of the Auction Price shall be submitted for a final and binding determination by an impartial senior employee or partner at a nationally recognized investment banking firm jointly appointed by the Management Members, which shall not be an investment banking firm that has otherwise given an opinion or attestation in this Section 8.5(c) (the “Appraiser”). In the event the Appraiser is not, for any reason, jointly appointed by the Managing Members within 30 days of the date of delivery of the second Auction Price Allocation Opinion, the Appraiser shall be appointed by the AAA on the written request of any party. The Appraiser shall be provided with the two Auction Price Allocation Opinions, and, using the information contained therein and such other materials as it may reasonably request from either Management Member, determine the Fair Value of the Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units of each Member and the fair allocation of the Auction Price based on the Fair Value of such Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units. The final allocation of the Auction Price shall thereafter be the average of (A) the allocation set forth by the Appraiser, and (B) the allocation set forth in an Auction Price Allocation Opinion which is closest to the allocation set forth by the Appraiser; provided, that in the event the allocation set forth by the Appraiser is in the mid-point between the allocations set forth by both Auction Price Allocation Opinions, the allocation shall be as set forth by the Appraiser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Appraiser shall act as an expert, and not as an arbitrator; and this submission to the determination of the Appraiser, and the determination of the Appraiser, shall not be governed by and construed by the Federal Arbitration Act or any state arbitration statute or law.

(x) Sales of the Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units pursuant to this Section 8.5(c) shall be made at the offices of the Company within 60 days of the acceptance of any offer under ‎Section 8.5(c)(iii) or ‎Section 8.5(c)(iv) above, or if later the execution of a Binding Agreement, or on such other date as the Members may agree. Such sales shall be effected by the applicable Member’s delivery of the Membership Interests and OpCo Subordinated Units, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions imposed by the governing documents of the Company and the Operating Company and securities laws), to the other Member, against payment to the selling Member(s) of the Shotgun Price, as applicable, and on the terms and conditions specified in the Shotgun Election or Binding Agreement, as applicable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, until a Deadlock is resolved, each Management Member agrees to continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to cause its directors, officers, Affiliates and agents to continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement.

Section 8.6 Conference Telephone Meetings. Management Members may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

(e) For purposes of this Section 10.2: (i) the Company shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; (ii) excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 10.2(a); and (iii) action taken or omitted by it with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is in the best interests of the Company.

(e) If any Member intends to file a notice of inconsistent treatment under Section 6222(b) 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.

Article XII
BOOKS, RECORDS, REPORTS, BANK ACCOUNTS, AND BUDGETS

Section 12.1 Records and Accounting. The Accounting Member shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Company appropriate books and records with respect to the Company’s business, including the register and all other books and records necessary to provide to the Members any information required to be provided pursuant to this Agreement. Any books and records maintained by or on behalf of the Company in the regular course of its business, including the register, books of account and records of Company proceedings, may be kept on, or be in the form of, computer disks, hard drives, punch cards, magnetic tape, photographs, micrographics or any other information storage device; provided, that the books and records so maintained are convertible into clearly legible written form within a reasonable period of time. The books of the Company shall be maintained, for financial reporting purposes, on an accrual basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Section 12.2 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Company (the “Fiscal Year”) shall be the period from December 1 of each year through November 30 of the following year (unless otherwise required by law) unless a different period is specified by a Majority Interest.

Section 12.3 Reports. With respect to each tax year, the Tax Member shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Member such federal, state and local income tax returns and such other accounting, tax information and schedules (including any information necessary for unrelated business taxable income calculations by any Member) as shall be necessary for the preparation by each Member on or before July 15 following the end of each tax year of its income tax return with respect to such year, provided, however, that the Tax Member, as applicable, shall also cause the Company to prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, at any time, such other information with respect to taxes as is reasonably requested by a Member at the cost of such Member.

Section 12.4 Bank Accounts. Funds of the Company shall be deposited in such banks or other depositories as shall be designated from time to time by a Majority Interest. All withdrawals from any such depository shall be made only as authorized by a Majority Interest and shall be made only by check, wire transfer, debit memorandum or other written instruction.

Article XIII
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Section 13.1 Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall dissolve, and (subject to Section 13.3) its affairs shall be wound up, upon:

(a) an election to dissolve the Company by the affirmative vote of a Majority Interest or, if required by Section 8.4(b) the unanimous vote of the Management Members;

(b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Act; or

(c) at any time there are no Members, unless the Company is continued without dissolution in accordance with the Delaware Act.

Section 13.2 Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Article XIII, a Majority Interest shall select one or more Persons to act as Liquidator. The Liquidator (if other than a Member) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by a Majority Interest. The Liquidator (if other than a Member) shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal approved by a Majority Interest. Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within 30 days thereafter be approved by a Majority Interest. The right to approve a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator approved in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in this Article XIII, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the Parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon a Majority Interest under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the

exercise of such powers) necessary or appropriate to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during the period of time required to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Company as provided for herein.

Section 13.3 Liquidation. The Liquidator shall proceed to dispose of the assets of the Company, discharge its liabilities, and otherwise wind up its affairs in such manner and over such period as determined by the Liquidator, subject to Section 18-804 of the Delaware Act and the following:

(a) The assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Economic Members on such terms as the Liquidator and such Economic Member or Economic Members may agree. If any property is distributed in kind, the Economic Member receiving the property shall be deemed for purposes of Section 13.3(c) to have received cash equal to its fair market value, net of Liabilities; and contemporaneously therewith, appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Economic Members. The Liquidator may defer liquidation or distribution of the Company’s assets for a reasonable time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members. The Liquidator may distribute the Company’s assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members.

(b) Liabilities of the Company include amounts owed to the Liquidator as compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 13.2) and amounts to Economic Members otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article VII. With respect to any liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the Liquidator shall either settle such claim for such amount as it thinks appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its payment. When paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be distributed as additional liquidation proceeds.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 7.2, any items of income, gain, loss or deduction for the taxable year during which the Company dissolves pursuant to this Section 13.3 will be allocated among the Economic Members in a manner that ensures, to the maximum extent possible, distributions pursuant to the Economic Members Capital Accounts will be in accordance with the Economic Members’ Liquidation Percentages.

(d) After taking into account the allocation set forth in Section 13.3(c), all property and all cash in excess of that required to satisfy or discharge liabilities as provided in Section 13.3(b) shall be distributed to the Economic Members pro rata in accordance with the Economic Member’s Liquidation Percentages.

(e) For purposes of this Section 13.3, the Liquidation Percentages shall be determined using Forecasted Project Values calculated as of the date of any disposition of the assets of the Company, discharge of its liabilities, or such other action as may be taken in connection with the winding up of its affairs, in each case taking into account the then current facts and circumstances and other current information.

Section 13.4 Certificate of Cancellation. Upon the completion of the distribution of Company cash and property as provided in Section 13.3 in connection with the liquidation of the Company, the Certificate of Formation and all qualifications of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company shall be taken.

Section 13.5 Return of Contributions. No Member shall be personally liable for, and each Member shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate, the return of the Capital Contributions of the Members, or any portion thereof, it being expressly understood that any such return shall be made solely from assets of the Company.

Section 13.6 Waiver of Partition. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Member hereby waives any right to partition of the Company property.

Section 13.7 Capital Account Restoration. No Member shall have any obligation to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account upon liquidation of the Company.

Article XIV
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 14.1 Offset. Whenever the Company is to pay any sum to any Economic Member, including distributions pursuant to Article VII, any amounts that Economic Member owes the Company, as determined by a Majority Interest, may be deducted from that sum before payment.

Section 14.2 Specific Performance. The Members acknowledge and agree that an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and any such breach would cause the non-breaching Member irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Members agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by a Member, the other Member, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance; provided that a requirement for a Member seeking equitable relief to post a bond or other security shall not be waived if such Member is in material default hereunder. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to each of the Members.

Section 14.3 Amendment. Subject to Section 8.4(b)(i), this Agreement shall not be altered modified or changed except by a written instrument approved by a Majority Interest.

Section 14.4 Addresses and Notices; Written Communication.

(a) Any notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials required or permitted to be given or made to a Member under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or made when delivered by hand, courier or overnight delivery service or three days after being mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with appropriate postage prepaid, delivered by electronic mail or when

received in the form of a facsimile, and shall be directed to the address or facsimile number of such Member at the address set forth on Exhibit E; provided, that to be effective any such notice sent originally by facsimile or email must be followed within two Business Days by a copy of such notice sent by overnight courier service (other than any notice delivered by email for which the intended recipient thereof, by reply email, waives delivery of such copy).

(b) If a Member shall consent to receiving notices, demands, requests, reports or other materials via electronic mail, any such notice, demand, request, report or other materials shall be deemed given or made when delivered or made available via such mode of delivery. An affidavit or certificate of making of any notice, payment or report in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.4 executed by the Company or the mailing organization shall be prima facie evidence of the giving or making of such notice, payment or report.

(c) Any notice to the Company shall be deemed given if received by the Company at the principal office of the Company designated pursuant to Section 2.3. The Company may rely and shall be protected in relying on any notice or other document from a Member or other Person if believed by it to be genuine.

(d) The terms “in writing,” “written communications,” “written notice” and words of similar import shall be deemed satisfied under this Agreement by use of e-mail and other forms of electronic communication.

Section 14.5 Further Action. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, the Parties 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.

Section 14.6 Confidential Information. From and after the date hereof, each Party (each, a “Receiving Party”) in possession of Confidential Information of the other Party, the Company, the YieldCo General Partner, any Group Member or any Joint Venture (each, a “Disclosing Party”) shall (a) hold, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and its and their shareholders, partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, lenders, potential lenders, investors, potential investors, and any officer or director of the YieldCo General Partner, any Group Member or any Joint Venture appointed by it and any other representatives (the “Party Representatives”) to hold all Confidential Information of each Disclosing Party in strict confidence with at least the same degree of care that applies to such Receiving Party’s confidential and proprietary information, (b) not use such Confidential Information, except as expressly permitted by such Disclosing Party, and (c) not release or disclose such Confidential Information to any other Person, except its Party Representatives or except as required by applicable law; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, a Receiving Party shall be permitted to (i) disclose any Confidential Information to the extent required by court order or under applicable law (provided, that it shall (A) exercise commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, (B) to the extent legally permissible, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Disclosing Party in advance of such disclosure, with copies of any Confidential Information it intends to disclose (and, if

applicable, the text of the disclosure language itself), and (C) reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party and its Affiliates to the extent they may seek to limit such disclosure), (ii) make a public announcement regarding such matters (A) as agreed to in writing by the Disclosing Party or (B) as required by the provisions of any securities laws or the requirements of any exchange on which any Party’s securities may be listed, or (iii) disclose any Confidential Information to its Affiliates and its and their Party Representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential pursuant to the terms hereof).

Section 14.7 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

Section 14.8 Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.

Section 14.9 Creditors. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of, or shall be enforceable by, any creditor of the Company.

Section 14.10 Waiver. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute waiver of any such breach of any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.

Section 14.11 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Member agrees that any Indemnitee shall be entitled to assert rights and remedies hereunder as a third-party beneficiary hereto with respect to those provisions of this Agreement affording a right, benefit or privilege to such Indemnitee.

Section 14.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which together shall constitute an agreement binding on all the Parties hereto, notwithstanding that all such Parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart. Each Party shall become bound by this Agreement immediately upon affixing its signature hereto.

Section 14.13 Applicable Law; Forum and Venue.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory, non-waivable provision of the Delaware Act, such provision of the Delaware Act shall control. If any provision of the Delaware Act 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.

(b) Subject to Section 8.5(c), any and all claims, suits, actions or proceedings arising out of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement shall be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Each party hereto unconditionally and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware with respect to any such claim, suit, action or proceeding and waives any objection that such party may have to the laying of venue of any claim, suit, action or proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.

Section 14.14 Invalidity of Provisions. If any provision or part of a provision of this Agreement is or becomes for any reason, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions and/or parts thereof contained herein shall not be affected thereby and this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reformed and construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of a provision, had never been contained herein, and such provisions and/or part shall be reformed so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Section 14.15 Facsimile and Email Signatures. The use of facsimile signatures and signatures delivered by email in portable document format (.pdf) or similar format affixed in the name and on behalf of the Company on certificates representing Membership Interests is expressly permitted by this Agreement.
