(a) To each Member’s Capital Account there shall be credited the Member’s Capital Contributions, such Member’s distributive share of Profits and items of income and gain under Section 4.2 and any items in the nature of income or gain which are specially allocated to the Member pursuant to Section 4.3, Section 4.4 and Section 10.2(a) and the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by the Member or which are secured by any Company Asset distributed to such Member.

(b) To each Member’s Capital Account there shall be debited the amount of cash and the Value of any Company Asset distributed to such Member pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or the Equity Capital Contribution Agreement, such Member’s distributive share of Losses and items or loss and deduction under Section 4.2 and any items of loss and deduction which are specially allocated to the Member pursuant to Section 4.3, Section 4.4 and Section 10.2(a) and the amount of any liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company.

(c) In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of the foregoing subsections (a) or (b), there shall be taken into account Code Section 752(c) and any other applicable provisions of the Code and the Treasury Regulations.

(d) In the event any Membership Interest in the Company is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Membership Interest.

This Section 4.1 and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. The Managing Member also shall make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Members and the amount of capital reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q).

4.2. Profits and Losses. For purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts, after making the allocations provided under Section 4.3, all items of Company income, loss, gain, deduction and credit for any Fiscal Year will be allocated among the Members as follows:

(a) General Allocations. Except as provided in the following subsection (b) of this Section 4.2, Profits and Losses and constituent items of Company income, gain, loss, and deduction thereof shall be allocated for each Fiscal Year or part of a Fiscal Year, 90% to the Class A Members pro rata according to their respective Class A Units and 10% to the Class B Members pro rata according to their respective Class B Units.

(b) Items in Connection with Liquidation. Except as provided in the following subsection (c) of this Section 4.2, Profits and Losses and any other items of income, gain, loss or deduction, credits (including any ITCs) and any credit recapture (including any ITC recapture) for the Taxable Year in which there is a disposition of all or substantially all of the Assets of the Company pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iii) shall be specially allocated pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iv) and Section 10.2(a)(v).

(c) Allocation of ITC. It is the intention of the Members that both (i) the allocations provided in Section 4.2(a) constitute, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i), the ratio in which the Members divide the general profits of the Company (that is, the taxable income of the partnership as described in Code Section 702(a)(9)) regardless of whether the Company has a profit or a loss for its Taxable year during which the Facility with respect to which the ITC is claimed is placed in service for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) the allocations provided in Section 4.2(a), constitute, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(ii), the allocation of all related items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to each item in respect of the Facility with respect to which the ITC is claimed. Accordingly, the Members’ shares of the basis of the Facility with respect to which the ITC is claimed shall be determined by reference to such general profits ratio under Treasury Regulations Section 1.46-3(f) (2)(i), and under the special allocation under Treasury Regulations Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(ii), as 90% to the Class A Members, pro rata according to their respective Class A Units and 10% to the Class B Members pro rata according to their respective Class B Units.

4.3. Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a) Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, except as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be

so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Chargeback of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, except as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Taxable Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.3(b) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event 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), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other special allocations provided for in this Section 4.3 have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.3(c) were not in this Agreement.

(d) Loss Limitations. Losses allocated pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 10.2(a)(v) shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses and other items of loss or deduction that can be allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Taxable Year. In the event some but not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 10.2(a)(v), the limitation set forth in this Section 4.3(d) shall be applied on a Member by Member basis and Losses and items of loss or deduction not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in the manner otherwise required pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 10.2(a) to the extent such other Members have positive balances in their Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Member under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(e) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Taxable Year that is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to Section 10.3 of this Agreement and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury

Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3(e) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other special allocations provided for in this Section 4.3 have been made as if Section 4.3(c) and this Section 4.3(e) were not in this Agreement.

(f) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable Year shall be specially allocated to the Members 90% to the Class A Members, pro rata according to their respective Class A Units and 10% to the Class B Members pro rata according to their respective Class B Units.

(g) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who 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)(1).

(h) Section 754 Adjustments. If the Company distributes property to a Member in liquidation of the Membership Interest of the Member and there is an adjustment in the adjusted tax basis of Company property under Section 734(b) of the Code, such that the first sentence of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies, there will be a corresponding adjustment to the Capital Account of the Member receiving the distribution. If the Company distributes cash to a Member in excess of its outside basis in its Membership Interest, leading to an adjustment in the inside basis of the Company property under Section 734(b) of the Code pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2), then solely for purposes of adjusting Capital Accounts of the Members, the adjustment in the inside basis will be treated as gain or loss and be allocated among the Members in accordance with Section 4.2, as in effect at the time of the adjustment. This provision is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) and (4).

4.4. Curative Allocations. The allocations required under Section 4.3(a) through (c), (c) and (f) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 4.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article IV, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit among the Members such that, to the extent possible, the net amount of allocations of such items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.2, Section 10.2(a)(iv) and Section 10.2(a)(v).

4.5. Income Tax Allocations.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.5, for federal, state and local income tax purposes each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes pursuant to this Article IV.

(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) 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 Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Value (computed in accordance with the definition of Value) using the remedial allocation method permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704- 3(d).

(c) In the event the Value of any Company Asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Value, 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 Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(d) Any items of loss or deduction attributable to property contributed by a Member shall to the extent of an amount equal to the excess of (A) the federal income tax basis of such property at the time of its contribution over (B) the Value of such property at such time, be allocated in its entirety to such contributing Member and the tax basis of such property for purposes of computing the amounts of all items allocated to any other Member (including a transferee of the contributing Member) shall be equal to its Value.

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.5 are solely for federal, state, and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

4.6. Other Allocation Rules.

(a) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Managing Member using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(b) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article IV and Section 10.2(a) and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV and Section 10.2(a) in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by law or the IRS.

(c) The Company shall not report any portion of the Facility Debt as “recourse” debt for purposes of Code Section 752 or as Member Nonrecourse Debt. The Company shall allocate 100% of the “excess” Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company for

purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) in accordance with how the Base Case Model sets forth that the deductions attributable to such remaining Nonrecourse Liabilities will be allocated among the Members, taking into account the allocations required under Section 4.5 above.

(d) To the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(h)(3), the Managing Member shall endeavor to treat distributions of Available Cash Flow as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Member.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1, with respect to any Damages relating to a Class A Investor Claim or a Class B Investor Claim (other than as to which Section 5.4(c) applies and as to which the Capital Contribution required by Section 5.4 (c) has been made or paid into the Escrow), commencing with the first cash distribution under Section 5.1 made by the Company following the date that is thirty (30) days following the date that the indemnifying Members agree with the asserted claim, and in each case until the date on which payment in full of the relevant Damages (or, if applicable, such lesser amount as shall have been agreed between the indemnifying Members and the applicable indemnified Persons or such amount as shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) has been made as hereafter provided in this Section 5.4(d) or as otherwise paid by the indemnifying Members or any of their Affiliates, (1) any distributions as to which the indemnifying Members and any of their respective Affiliates would otherwise be entitled hereunder shall not be paid to such indemnifying Member or such Affiliates until the applicable indemnified Persons shall have received payment in full of such Damages (or, if applicable, such lesser amount as shall have been agreed between the indemnifying Members and the applicable indemnified Persons or such amount as shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), and (2) all Available Cash Flow otherwise payable to the indemnifying Members and their respective Affiliates shall be paid over to the applicable indemnified Persons to the extent necessary to pay in full such Damages (or, if applicable, such lesser amount as shall have been agreed between the indemnifying Members and the applicable indemnified Person or such amount as shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). In the event that (A) the distributions payable to the indemnifying Members and their respective Affiliates or the Available Cash Flow otherwise payable to the indemnifying Members and their respective Affiliates, in each case, fora Quarterly Period are not sufficient to pay the Damages relating to a Class A Investor Claim or a Class B Investor Claim (other than as to which Section 5.4(c) applies and as to which the Capital Contribution required by Section 5.4(c) has been made or paid into the Escrow), as applicable, or (B) such Damages have not otherwise been paid to the relevant indemnified parties within forty- five (45) days of the end of a Quarterly Period, then the indemnifying Members shall pay such Damages to the relevant indemnified parties within sixty (60) days of the end of such Quarterly Period. Upon receipt by the applicable indemnified Persons of the payment in full of such Damages (or, if applicable, such lesser amount as shall have been agreed between the indemnifying Members and the applicable indemnified Person or such amount as shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the distributions and Available Cash Flow shall resume being distributed as required by the provisions of Section 5.1, subject to the application of this Section 5.4 to other Class A Investor Claims or Class B Investor Claims for Damages and the application of Section 5.5.

(e) If the indemnifying Members or their respective Affiliates dispute all or a portion of any Damages in excess of [***] then any Capital Contributions that the indemnifying Members or their Affiliates would have to make with respect to any Third Party Payment or for other Damages, and any distributions as to which the indemnifying Members or their respective Affiliates would otherwise be entitled hereunder, as applicable, in each case up to the amount of such disputed Damages, shall be paid into an escrow (the “Escrow”) maintained at a commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at least [***] (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an escrow agreement in such Escrow Agent’s customary form and providing as follows:

(i) funds paid into such Escrow shall be invested in Cash Equivalents (such escrowed funds together with the earnings thereon being referred to herein as the “Escrowed Funds”);

(ii) Escrowed Funds shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent as follows:

(A) Upon the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a written notice from the indemnifying Members or their Affiliates, as applicable, and the applicable indemnified Persons, the Escrow Agent shall disburse Escrowed Funds to the party or parties, and in the amount or amounts, specified in such joint written notice; and

(B) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of a judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction regarding all matters relating to such Class A Investor Claims or Class B Investor Claims, as applicable, and, if there exists a right of appeal therefrom, the expiration of the time for appealing such judgment or order without appeal of such judgment or order by any party, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrowed Funds as specified in or consistent with such judgment or order.

(iii) The indemnifying Members or their Affiliates shall pay the Escrow Agent’s fees and charges related to the Escrow unless the amount finally determined to be payable to the indemnified Persons pursuant to subclauses (A) or (B) above is less than [***] in which case, the indemnified Persons making the Class A Investor Claims or Class B Investor Claims, as applicable, shall bear all of the Escrow Agent’s fees and charges.

(f) Amounts paid or distributed to the indemnified Persons pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be deemed distributed to the indemnifying Members and immediately paid by the indemnifying Members to the applicable indemnified Person. Such amount shall be grossed up and paid on an after-tax basis (assuming the highest marginal federal income tax rates then applicable to corporations and an assumed combined state and local income tax rate of [***] for purposes of a gross up).

[***] Confidential Treatment Requested

(g) The Members, for themselves, their Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns, agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other agreement, (i) except as hereinafter provided, the provisions of this Section 5.4 and Article XI shall be the indemnified Persons’ sole and exclusive means of recovery in respect of this Agreement, the Equity Capital Contribution Agreement and the ASA for such Damages, and (ii) the indemnified Persons will not bring any action or proceeding, or take any other action, to recover any such Damages except as provided by this Section 5.4 and Article XI.

“Representatives”), or any of its advisors, counsel and public accountants (collectively, “Advisors”)), directly or indirectly, any of the Facility Documents, this Agreement or other confidential information in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby (“Confidential Information”); provided, that (i) any such Member and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors may use and disclose Confidential Information to such Member’s Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors and to any other Member and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors, (ii) any such Member and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors may use and disclose Confidential Information that (A) has been publicly disclosed or is publicly known (other than by such Member or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or Advisors in breach of this Section 7.7), (B) has come into the possession of such Member or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or Advisors other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (C) has been independently developed by such Member or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or Advisors without use of information obtained under this Agreement, (iii) to the extent that that such disclosure is required by law, a subpoena or any other applicable legal process or by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Member or its Affiliates, such Member may disclose Confidential Information provided that in such case such Member shall, unless otherwise prohibited by law, (1) give prompt notice to the other Members that such disclosure is or may be required and (2) cooperate in protecting such confidential or proprietary nature of the Confidential Information which must so be disclosed; provided, that no such notification shall be required in respect of any disclosure to bank, insurance or financial industry regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over such Member or its Affiliates, (i) disclosures to lenders, potential lenders or other Persons providing financing to the Company or to the Facility Company or to their respective representatives and advisors, any Member or any Affiliate of any Member and potential purchasers of equity interests in the Company, any Member or any Affiliate of any Member are permitted if such Persons have agreed to abide by the terms of this Section 7.7 or have otherwise entered into an agreement with restrictions on disclosure substantially similar to the terms of this Section 7.7 (or in the case of advisors, are otherwise bound by professional or legal obligations of confidentiality), (v) any such Member and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors may disclose Confidential Information, and make such filings, as may be required by this Agreement or the Facility Documents, (vi) any Member which is an insurance company or an Affiliate thereof may disclose such information to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and any rating agency requiring access to its portfolio, (vii) the Class B Equity Investor and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors may disclose Confidential Information relating to the Facilities (but not Confidential Information relating to any Member) to lenders, potential lenders or other Persons providing financing to any Person developing or proposing to develop the remaining phases of the Facilities and potential purchasers of equity interests in such Person or potential power or renewable energy credits purchasers from such Persons, or to any Person in connection with the operation of the Facilities, and (viii) any such Member may disclose Confidential Information to the United States Department of Treasury, the IRS or any state taxing authority in connection with any communication regarding the tax consequences of the Facilities, Facility Company’s ownership and operation of the Facilities, Company’s ownership of an interest in the Facility Company or such Member’s ownership of an interest in the Company; provided, that such Member shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Class B Equity Investor of such disclosure, furnish a copy of any written material provided to the IRS or any state taxing authority to the Class B Equity Investor and, if practicable, afford the Class B Equity Investor reasonable opportunity to comment on the

proposed disclosure (but for the avoidance of doubt the Class B Equity Investor will not have the right to consent to such proposed disclosure). A Member’s obligations pursuant to this Article VII shall survive the Transfer of its Units. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Class B Equity Investor and any of its Affiliates (including Affiliates formed subsequent to the date hereof) may use any operational data with respect to the Facilities for the purpose of researching, analyzing, designing, improving, developing, manufacturing, installing, modifying or operating other fuel cell-powered electric generating facilities, whether similar to or different from the Facilities.

(b) The foregoing obligations shall not apply to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and each Member (and any employee, representative, or agent of any Member) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all other materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analysis) that are provided to any Member relating to such tax treatment and tax structure (all such information that may be disclosed being the “Tax Information”). However, any such Tax Information is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable securities laws. The preceding sentences are intended to cause the transactions contemplated hereby not to be treated as having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Sections 1.6011-4(b)(3) and 301.6111-2(a)(2)(ii) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations issued under the Code and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose. For purposes of this provision, the Tax Information includes only those facts that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and, to eliminate any doubt, therefore specifically does not include information that either reveals or standing alone or in the aggregate with other information so disclosed tends of itself to reveal or allow the recipient of the information to ascertain the identity of any Company, any Member or the Class B Equity Investor (or potential member), or any other third parties involved in any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any other potential transactions with any of the foregoing.

(c) Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 7.7, no Member shall include in a press release or otherwise disclose (other than as required to be included in a filing to any bank, insurance or financial industry regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Member, its affiliates, permitted transferees, any security exchange or the Securities Exchange Commission or as required by Applicable Law) the name of any Member as an equity investor or potential equity investor without the prior written consent of such Member which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) If the Company or any subsidiary thereof is required at any time to make any regulatory filing that identifies by name, or otherwise relates specifically to, any Member or any of its Affiliates or permitted transferees, then the Company shall submit (or the Company shall cause its subsidiary to submit) an advance draft of such regulatory filing to such Member or its Affiliate or permitted transferee, as applicable, and each such Member shall cooperate and shall provide such information as is necessary to complete such filing. Such Member (or its Affiliate or permitted transferee, as applicable) shall have the right to provide comments to such regulatory filing as it relates to such Member (or its Affiliate or permitted transferee), and the Company or its subsidiary shall incorporate or accommodate, prior to submitting such filing, such comments.

(e) If any Member is required at any time to make any regulatory filing (other than a filing to any bank, insurance or financial industry regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Member or its affiliates) that identifies by name, or otherwise relates specifically to, any other Member, then such Member shall submit an advance draft of the relevant portions of such regulatory filing to such other Member. Such other Member shall have the right to provide comments to such regulatory filing as it relates to such other Member, and the Member making such filing shall incorporate or accommodate, prior to submitting such filing, such comments.

7.8. ERISA Matters. The covenants set forth this Section 7.8 apply only to a Class A Member during the time that such Class A Member is an ERISA Affiliate.

(a) Each Class A Member shall deliver to the Company promptly, and in any event within ten Business Days after the Class A Member becoming aware of any of the following, a written notice setting forth the nature thereof and the action, if any, that the Class A Member or its Member ERISA Affiliate proposes to take with respect thereto:

(i) with respect to any Plan (other than any Multiemployer Plan) that is subject to Title IV of ERISA, any reportable event, as defined in section 4043(c) of ERISA and the regulations thereunder, for which notice thereof has not been waived pursuant to such regulations as in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that the notice to the Company under this Section 7.8(a)(i) with respect to such reportable event shall be timely if it is provided within ten Business Days after the earlier of the filing of the notice with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation with respect to such event or the due date for the filing of such notice with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation; or

(G) Investment Company Act. Such Transfer does not require the Company to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(iv) Change of Member Control. A Change of Member Control of the Class B Member must also comply with the requirements of this Section 9.1 (other than Section 9.1(b)(iii)(A)(2), Section 9.1(b)(iii)(A)(3)), for a Transfer of the Class B Member’s interest at such time.

(c) Encumbrances of Membership Interest. A Member may encumber its Membership Interest if the instrument creating such Encumbrance provides that any Transfer upon foreclosure of such Encumbrance (or Transfer in lieu of such foreclosure) must comply with the requirements of Sections 9.1(b)(i) and 9.1(b)(iii). Any such Encumbrance, and any Transfer upon foreclosure of such Encumbrance (or Transfer in lieu of such foreclosure) that complies with such requirements shall be a Permitted Encumbrance and a permitted transfer pursuant to this Section 9.1.

(d) Right of First Bid. This Section 9.1(d) shall apply to any proposed voluntary Transfer of Membership Interests for cash or other tangible consideration under the conditions specified in Section 9.1(b)(i)(A). The Member proposing to make such a Transfer shall provide written notice of its intention to make a Transfer (a “Transfer Notice”) to all remaining Members. Upon receipt of a Transfer Notice, the Members entitled to receive the Transfer Notice shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days to submit to the Transferring Member an unconditional offer to purchase, at the price and on the terms set forth in the notice of such offer (a “Bid”), all, but not less than all, of such Membership Interests in such proportions as the offering Members may agree, or, if they cannot agree, on a pro rata basis. Upon receipt of a proper Bid, the Member intending to Transfer its Membership Interests may, in its sole discretion, accept such Bid by notice to the offering Members within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Bid, whereupon the offering Members shall purchase such Membership Interests within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the acceptance of the Bid (or, in any event if

later, the fifth Business Day after the receipt of all applicable regulatory and governmental approvals of the purchase). If the Member intending to Transfer its Membership Interests does not accept the Bid, such Member shall (i) so notify each Member who has submitted a Bid, and (ii) have the right for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter (or, in any event, if later, the fifth(5^th) Business Day after the receipt of all applicable regulatory and governmental approvals of the purchase) to Transfer such Membership Interests at a price which is higher than the price set forth in the Bid and upon terms no less favorable in any material respect to such Member than the terms contained in the Bid; provided, that such Transfer shall be subject to any other applicable provisions of this Section 9.1.

9.2. Buyout Option.

(a) This Section 9.2 shall apply to any of the following events (each a “Buyout Event”):

(i) a Member becomes Bankrupt;

(ii) a Member dissolves and commences liquidation or winding up;

(iii) there occurs an event that makes it unlawful for the Member to continue to be a Member.

(b) In each case, the Member with respect to whom a Buyout Event has occurred is referred to herein as the “Affected

Member”.

(c) If a Buyout Event occurs, then each of the other Members shall have the option to acquire the Membership Interest of the Affected Member (or to cause it to be acquired by a third party designated by the other Members) on an “as is, where is” basis without representations or warranties (other than ownership of the Membership Interests by the Affected Member, that no Encumbrance exists against the Membership Interests of the Affected Member other than those created pursuant to this Agreement and that the sale of such Membership Interests do not require any governmental approvals that have not been obtained or create any conflict with the Affected Member’s organizational documents), expressed or implied (and with the Members exercising such preferential right also being referred to herein as “Purchasing Members”) upon giving the Company and all other Members 60 days’ written notice of an election to exercise its buyout rights pursuant to this Section 9.2 (a “Buyout Exercise Notice”) during such period.

(d) The purchase price (the “Buyout Price”) for a Membership Interest being purchased pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be the Fair Market Value of such Membership Interest as to which a Buyout Event has occurred, as determined under the Appraisal Procedure.

(e) If an option to purchase is exercised in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 9.2, the closing of such purchase shall occur on the 60th day after the delivery of the Buyout Exercise Notice (or in any event, if later, the 30th day after the determination of the Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 9.2(d), or the fifth Business Day after the receipt of all applicable regulatory and governmental approvals to the purchase) and shall comply in all material respects with the requirements set forth in Section 9.1(b)(iii). Unless otherwise agreed among the Members, the Buyout Price shall be paid in cash at such closing.

(f) Upon the occurrence of a closing under Section 9.2(e), the following provisions shall apply to the Affected Member (at, and following, such time, a “Terminated Member”):

(i) The Terminated Member shall cease to be a Member immediately upon the occurrence of the closing.

(ii) The Terminated Member shall no longer be entitled to receive any distributions (including liquidating distributions) or allocations from the Company, and it shall not be entitled to exercise any voting or consent rights or to receive any further information (or access to information) from the Company (other than any required tax information).

(iii) The Terminated Member must pay to the Company, immediately upon the occurrence of the closing, all amounts owed to the Company by such Terminated Member.

(iv) The Terminated Member shall remain obligated for all liabilities it may have under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Company that accrue prior to the closing.

(v) The Membership Interest, including the Capital Account balance attributable thereto, of the Terminated Member shall be allocated among the Purchasing Members in the proportion of the total Buyout Price paid by each Purchasing Member.

ARTICLE X

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

10.1. Dissolution.

(a) The Company will dissolve and its business and affairs will be wound up on the first to occur of the following (the “Liquidating Events”):

(i) The unanimous written consent of the Members;

(ii) Any other event upon the occurrence of which dissolution is required by the Act (which the Act does not allow to be waived by agreement of the Members), unless, to the extent permitted by the Act, Members (other than the Member with respect to which such event occurs) unanimously elect in writing, within 90 days of the date such event described in this Section 10.1(a)(ii) occurs, to continue the business of the Company, in which case the Company will not dissolve; or

(iii) The Transfer by the Company of all or substantially all of its Assets.

(b) Each Member agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, it will not dissolve itself or the Company or withdraw from the Company except as set forth in Section 10.1(a).

10.2. Liquidation and Termination.

(a) On dissolution of the Company, the Managing Member shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more other Persons as liquidator. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided in this Agreement. The costs of liquidation will be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company with all of the power and authority of the Managing Member. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by the Certified Public Accountants of the Company’s and the Facility Company’s Assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

(ii) The liquidator shall pay from Company funds all of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the Facility Company or otherwise make adequate provision for them (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine);

(iii) with respect to the remaining Assets of the Company:

(A) the liquidator shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best possible price and may sell any or all of the Company’s, and the Facility Company’s Assets (subject to any and all restrictions to which the Company or the Facility Company is subject, including restrictions under Applicable Laws or any Permitted Encumbrances), including to the Members at such price, but in no event lower than the Fair Market Value thereof; and

(B) with respect to all of the Company’s or the Facility Company’s Assets that have not been sold, the Values of such Assets shall be determined pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Value;

(iv) items of income, gain, loss and deduction (including any such items attributable to the disposition of Assets pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iii)) for the Taxable Year during which the distribution of liquidation proceeds occurs shall be allocated as follows:

(A) first, after giving effect to the special allocations in Section 4.3, items of gross income, gain and credit arising in connection with the liquidation shall first be allocated to each Member having a negative balance in its Capital Account, in the proportion that such negative balance bears to the total negative balances in the Capital Accounts of all Members, until each Member has been allocated items of gross income and gain equal to any such negative balance in its Capital Account and such deficit balance has thereby been eliminated;

(B) then, any remaining items of income or gain shall be allocated among the Members until the aggregate positive Capital Account balances of the Class B Members and the aggregate positive Capital Account balances of the Class A Members are in proportion to the percentages set forth in Section 4.2(a); and;

(C) finally, any remaining items of income or gain shall be allocated among the Members, 90% to the Class A Members pro rata according to their respective Class A Units and 10% to the Class B Members pro rata according to their respective Class B Units.

(v) After giving effect to all allocations (including those under Section 4.2 and Sections 10.2(a)(iv)), all distributions (including those under Section 5.1) and all Capital Contributions (including those under Section 3.1 and Section 3.2) for all periods, all remaining cash and property (including any Available Cash Flow and liquidation proceeds) shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts; and

(vi) Any distribution to the Members in respect of their Capital Accounts pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be made by the end of the Company taxable year in which a Liquidating Event occurs (or if later, within 90 days after the date of such Liquidating Event).

(b) The distribution of cash or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member on account 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.

10.3. Deficit Capital Accounts. Except as provided in this Section 10.3, no Member shall be obligated to contribute cash to restore a deficit in its Capital Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Member shall have the right by written notice signed by such Member to the Company (with a copy to all other Members) (the “DRO Notice”), at any time and in its sole discretion, to elect to undertake or increase the amount of, a limited deficit restoration obligation, the amount of which shall be specified in such DRO Notice (which amount is the “DRO Limit”). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate any Member to issue a DRO Notice. A DRO Notice given by a Member pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute a duly adopted amendment to this Agreement without any further action by any party, and the

corresponding limited deficit restoration obligation for such Member shall be considered part of a Consistent Return for purposes this Agreement. Further, upon the earlier of (a) the point in time at which the absolute value of the deficit balance in a Member’s Capital Account equals or exceeds its DRO Limit and (b) the end of the first Taxable Year during which the absolute value of the deficit balance in a Member’s Capital Account as of the end of such Taxable Year is less than the absolute value of the deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the immediately preceding Taxable Year, such Member’s DRO Limit shall be automatically decreased (but not increased) at the end of such Taxable Year and each subsequent Taxable Year to an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the absolute value of the deficit balance (if any) in such Member’s Capital Account at the end of such Taxable Year (prior to taking into account such reduction) over (2) the amount that such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704- 2(i)(5) as of the time of such reduction. In the event there is a “liquidation” of a Member’s interest in the Facility Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), after giving effect to all allocations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such Member’s share of any Facility Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and the allocations pursuant to Section 10.2), all distributions and all Capital Contributions for all periods, if that Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account, calculated in accordance with this Agreement and without regard to such Members’ obligation pursuant to this Section 10.3 (except to the extent disregarding such obligation in calculating such amount is inconsistent with law, in which case such Member’s obligation pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be taken into account in such calculation), then such Member shall be obligated to pay to the Company cash in an amount equal to such deficit balance by the end of the Taxable Year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Facility Company occurs, or if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation; provided, however, that the restoration obligation of a Member shall not exceed such Member’s then DRO Limit.

10.4. Termination. On completion of the satisfaction of liabilities and distribution of Assets as provided in this Agreement, the Managing Member (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall cause the cancellation of the Delaware Certificate and any filings made as provided in Section 2.1 and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1. Indemnification of Class A Investor Group by the Class B Member. Without in any way limiting any rights the Class A Equity Investor has under the Bloom Guarantee, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XI, the Class B Member hereby indemnifies, defends, reimburses and holds harmless the Class A Equity Investor and its parent or subsidiary companies, partners and other Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, contractors and agents (collectively, the “Class A Investor Group”), from and against any and all Damages asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by the Class A Investor Group, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from any breach by the Class B Member (whether in its capacity as the Class B Member, the Managing Member, the Tax Matters Member or otherwise), the Company or the Administrator or their Affiliates of their

respective representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (collectively, “Class A Investor Claims”). To the extent that any such Damages relating to a Class A Investor Claim remain unpaid after such claim has been made therefor pursuant to this Article XI, any distributions otherwise payable to the Class B Member under this Agreement shall be used to satisfy the obligations of the Class 13 Member, the Company or their Affiliates, as applicable, hereunder in accordance with Section 5.4.

11.2. Indemnification of Class B Investor Group by the Class A Member. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XI, the Class A Member hereby indemnifies, defends, reimburses and holds harmless the Class B Equity Investor and its parent or subsidiary companies, partners and other Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, contractors and agents (collectively, the “Class B Investor Group”), from and against any and all Damages asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by the Class B Investor Group, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from (a) any breach by the Class A Investor Group of their respective representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, any other relevant Transaction Document (collectively, “Class B Investor Claims”). To the extent that any such Damages relating to a Class B Investor Claim remain unpaid after such claim has been made therefor pursuant to this Article XI, any distributions otherwise payable to a Class A Member under this Agreement shall be used to satisfy the obligations of such Class A Member, the Company or their Affiliates, as applicable, hereunder in accordance with Section 5.4.

11.3. Brokers. Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Member from and against any and all claims, obligations, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have been made by, or on behalf of, the Company or the Administrator or their Affiliates with any broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby.

11.4. Limitation on Liability. The indemnification obligations of the parties hereto pursuant to this Article XI shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The amount of Damages required to be paid by any party to indemnify any other party pursuant to this Article XI as a result of any Class A Investor Claim or Class B Investor Claim shall be reduced to the extent of any amounts actually received by such other party after the Effective Date pursuant to (i) the Equity Capital Contribution Agreement, (ii) the Bloom Guarantee, and (iii) the terms of the insurance policies (if any) obtained and maintained by the Company, the Facility Company, the Class A Equity Investor or the Class B Equity Investor or any Affiliate thereof covering such claim. In the event an indemnified party or any of its Affiliates receives proceeds from indemnification under the Equity Capital Contribution Agreement, the Bloom Guarantee, or any insurance policy with respect to a Class A Investor Claim or Class B Investor Claim for which it previously received indemnification payments, such indemnified party shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party such proceeds to the extent such proceeds and the previously paid indemnification payments, in the aggregate, exceed the amount of the applicable Class A Investor Claim or Class B Investor Claim.

(b) Damages paid pursuant to this Article XI shall, to dc maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, be treated as an adjustment to the capital contributions of the Members (or otherwise as a non-taxable reimbursement, contribution, or return of capital, as the case may be). To the extent any Damages paid pursuant to this Article XI are includible in the recipient’s gross income, as determined by agreement of the parties, or if there is no agreement, by an opinion of a nationally-recognized tax counsel selected jointly by the parties at a “should” level of comfort that such amount is includable as income of the recipient, solely to the extent the tax liability with respect to the inclusion of such payment of Damages in the income of the recipient is greater than the tax liability of the recipient would have been if there had been no breach giving rise to the payment of Damages, such payment will be grossed-up and paid on an after-tax basis (assuming the then-highest highest marginal federal income tax rate then applicable to corporations). In the event an indemnified party is entitled to claim an item of loss or deduction, credit or other tax benefit with respect to an item that gives rise to the receipt of an indemnity payment, such tax benefit shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of the indemnification payment and, to the extent payment has been made to an indemnified party prior to the period in which such tax benefit was claimed, the indemnified party shall promptly repay the indemnifying party an amount equal to the present value of such loss or deduction, credit or other tax benefit (in each case, assuming then-highest marginal federal income tax rate then applicable to corporations).

(c) The indemnification obligations of the parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited to actual Damages and shall not include special, incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, or exemplary Damages (including lost profits and damages for a lost opportunity); provided, that any incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, or exemplary Damages recovered by a third party (including Governmental Entities) against a Person entitled to indemnity pursuant to this Article XI shall be included in the Damages recoverable under such indemnity; and provided, further, that the loss of the ITC shall not be considered as special, incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive or exemplary damages and shall be included in the Damages recoverable under this indemnity.

(d) No member of the Class A Investor Group or the Class B Investor Group may receive compensation for Damages suffered by such Person to the extent that such Damages are attributable to (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or (b) the breach of any representation or warranty by such Person in this Agreement or any other Investment Document to the extent such representation or warranty was false when made.

11.5. Procedure for Indemnification. After receipt by an indemnified party under Section 11.1, Section 11.2, Section 11.3 or Section 11.4 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party with respect to such action; provided that, to the extent that any such failure to provide prompt notice is responsible for an increase in the indemnity obligations of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any such increase. In case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party and it shall give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the

extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. If the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of such action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own expense and to participate in the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party elects not to assume (or fails to assume) the defense of such action, the indemnified party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such action with counsel of its own choice, at the expense of the indemnifying party. If the action is asserted against both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and (i) there is a conflict of interests which renders it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or (ii) such action could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of criminal liability, the indemnifying party shall be responsible for paying for separate counsel for the indemnified party; provided, however, that if there is more than one indemnified party and it is practical for all such parties to be represented by common counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for paying for more than one separate firm of attorneys to represent the indemnified parties, regardless of the number of indemnified parties. If the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of such action, (a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party and (b) the indemnifying party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the indemnifying party has failed to defend such indemnified party against such action. If this Section 11.5 conflicts with the contest provisions in Section 8.7 with respect to any contest or claim relating to taxes, Section 8.7 shall govern.

11.6. Exclusivity. Subject to Section 5.4, the parties hereto agree that, in relation to any breach, default, or nonperformance of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement made or entered into by the Class B Member (whether in its capacity as the Class B Member, the Managing Member, the Tax Matters Member or otherwise) pursuant to this Agreement, any other Investment Document, the ASA or any certificate, instrument, or document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or arising out of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, the only relief and remedy available to the other parties hereto in respect of said breach, default, or nonperformance shall be Damages, but only to the extent properly claimable hereunder and as limited pursuant to this Article XI or otherwise hereunder.

11.7. No Right of Contribution. After the Effective Date, the Company shall have no liability to indemnify the Class B Equity Investor on account of the breach of any representation or warranty or the nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement of the Company; and the Class B Equity Investor shall not have any right of contribution against the Company.

11.8. Entire Agreement. Article XI of this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to indemnification hereunder.

ARTICLE XII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1. Offset. Whenever the Company (or another Person on behalf of the Company) is to pay or distribute any sum to any Member, any amounts then owed by such Member or its Affiliate to the Company (as determined in writing to the satisfaction of the other Members) shall be deducted from such sum before payment.

12.2. Notices. Any notice or other communication to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand (including, without limitation, by express courier against written receipt) or sent by registered prepaid first class mail, facsimile copy or by email transmission to the persons or addresses specified below (or such other Person or address as a Member may previously have notified all other Parties in writing for that purpose). A notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been served when delivered by hand at that address or received by email or facsimile copy (provided the sender can and does provide evidence of successful transmission), or, if sent by registered prepaid first class mail as aforesaid, on the date delivered. Any notice or other communication received on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:00 p.m. on a Business Day shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

12.3. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each bearing the signatures of one or more Members. Each such counterpart shall be considered

[***] Confidential Treatment Requested

an original and all of such counterparts shall constitute a single agreement binding all the parties as if all had signed a single document. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

12.4. Governing Law and Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed made and prepared and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof which may require the application of the law of another jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement shall be contrary to any other Applicable Law, at the present time or in the future, such provision shall be deemed null and void, but this shall not affect the legality of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be deemed to be modified and amended so as to be in compliance with Applicable Law and this Agreement shall then be construed in such a way as will best serve the intention of the parties at the time of the execution of this Agreement.

12.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any Schedules and Exhibits, together with the other Investment Documents, constitutes the entire agreement among the Members regarding the terms and operations of the Company, except as amended in writing pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, statements, understandings and representations of the parties.

12.6. Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations under this Agreement, or any Investment Document is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement, or any Investment Document. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to its obligations under this Agreement, or any Investment Document, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has run.

12.7. Amendment or Modification. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by a written instrument executed by all Members. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for so long as any indebtedness or Obligations remain outstanding under the Financing Documents, each Member hereby acknowledges that the consent of certain parties to the Financing Documents, such as the Facility Lenders, may be required in connection with the Facility Company taking certain actions. Any such consent shall be obtained in writing from the Facility Lenders and any other required parties to the Financing Documents as and when required pursuant to the terms of the Financing Documents.

12.8. Binding Effect. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Members and their respective legal representatives, permitted successors and permitted assigns.

12.9. 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 contemplated here, including all filing, recording, publishing and other acts appropriate to comply with all requirements for the operation of a limited liability company under the laws of all jurisdictions where the Company shall conduct business.

12.10. Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of any federal court located in the Southern District of New York in connection with any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; agrees to waive any objection to venue in the State and County of New York; and agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, service of process in connection with any such proceeding may be effected by mailing in the same manner provided in Section 11.3 hereof

12.11. Limitation on Liability. NO CLAIMS SHALL BE MADE BY ANY PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (WHETHER OR NOT THE CLAIM THEREFORE IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, DUTY IMPOSED BY LAW OR OTHERWISE), IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER INVESTMENT DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO XXX UPON ANY SUCH CLAIM FOR ANY SUCH SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT AT ANY TIME (a) IF AN ITC IS RECAPTURED FROM THE FACILITY COMPANY BECAUSE THE CLASS B MEMBER OR ITS AFFILIATE, OR ANY FACILITY ENTITY BREACHES ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT, THE VALUE OF TIIE ITC THAT IS RECAPTURED SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND (b) IF AN ITC IS RECAPTURED FROM THE FACILITY COMPANY BECAUSE THE CLASS A MEMBER OR ITS AFFILIATE BREACHES ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT, THE VALUE OF THE ITC THAT IS RECAPTURED SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
