ARTICLE 2
THE CREDIT FACILITY

2.1 LOAN FACILITY.

2.1.1 Loan Facility.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to advance to Borrower from time to time during the Loan Availability Period such loans as Borrower may request pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 (individually, a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”), in an aggregate principal amount which, when added to such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the aggregate principal amount of all prior Loans made by such Lender, does not exceed such Lender’s Loan Commitment.

(b) Notice of Borrowing; Denominations, Etc. Borrower shall request Loans by delivering to Administrative Agent a written notice in the form of Exhibit C-1, appropriately completed (“Notice of Borrowing”), which contains or specifies, among other things:

(i) the portion of the requested Borrowing that will be Base Rate Loans and the portion that will be Eurodollar Loans;

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of the requested Borrowing, which shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided that such minimum amount shall not apply to the final Borrowing of Loans;

(iii) the proposed date of the requested Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day);

(iv) the initial Interest Period requested for a Borrowing of a Eurodollar Loan;

(v) a certification by Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied as of the date of the Notice of Borrowing;

(vi) a certification by Borrower that, as of the date such requested Loan is proposed to be made, the Loan proposed to be made on such date, when added with all other Loans, does not exceed the Total Loan Commitment; and

(vii) the itemization of the Project Costs to be paid with such Borrowing.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this section, Borrower (x) shall request no more than two Loan Borrowings per calendar month and (y) may not select Eurodollar Loans if the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.6. Borrower shall give each Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent with at least the Minimum Notice Period applicable to Loans of the Type requested. Any Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower.

(c) Address of Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to Administrative Agent as provided in Section 13.1; provided, however, that Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent the original of any Notice of Borrowing initially delivered by facsimile or email.

(d) Loan Principal Payments. Borrower shall repay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in full on the Maturity Date the unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by such Lender. Borrower may not re-borrow the principal amount of any Loan repaid.

2.1.2 Interest Provisions.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.4.3, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date of Borrowing of such Loan until the repayment thereof at either the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Loans or at the Base Rate for Base Rate Loans, plus in each case the applicable Rate Margin.

(b) Changes of Loan Type. The basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loan may be changed from time to time as specified in a Notice of Interest Terms delivered pursuant to Section 2.1.6. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Base Rate.

(c) Interest Payment Dates. Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (i) in the case of each Base Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in the case of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period related to such Eurodollar Loan and, with respect to Interest Periods longer than three months, the last Business Day of each third month in which such Eurodollar Loan is outstanding, (iii) in all cases, for any Loan upon its conversion from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan, on the effective date of such conversion, and (iv) in all cases, upon the repayment or prepayment (whether at stated maturity or otherwise, and including any optional prepayments or Mandatory Prepayments) of any Loan on the date of payment thereof in full. Each date on which any such interest payment is due is an “Interest Payment Date”.

(d) Eurodollar Loan Interest Periods.

(i) Each Interest Period selected by Borrower for all Eurodollar Loans shall be one, two, three or six months; provided, however, that, (A) any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such next Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day; (B) any Interest Period which begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the last full calendar month of such Interest Period; (C) Borrower may not select Interest Periods which would leave a greater principal amount of Loans subject to Interest Periods ending after a date upon which Loans are or may be required to be repaid (including the Maturity Date) than the principal amount of Loans scheduled to be outstanding after such date; (D) Eurodollar Loans for each Interest Period shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; (E) during the Initial Period, Borrower may not have selected Interest Periods of greater than one month; and (F) Borrower may not at any time have outstanding more than (x) during the period prior to Final Completion, six different Interest Period end-dates relating to Eurodollar Loans, and (y) during the period after Final Completion, three different Interest Period end-dates relating to Eurodollar Loans.

(ii) Borrower may contact Administrative Agent at any time prior to the end of an Interest Period for an indicative quotation of Interest Rates in effect at such time for given Interest Periods and Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such quotation with the understanding that such quotation may change by the time Borrower formally requests a borrowing or continuation thereunder. Borrower may, subject to Section 2.1.5, select to continue any Eurodollar Loan for any permissible Interest Period by communicating such selection to Administrative Agent by telephone or by email, which selection shall be irrevocable. Borrower shall promptly confirm such telephonic or email notice to Administrative Agent within the time periods required by Section 2.1.6 by delivering to Administrative Agent by facsimile, an emailed pdf or hand-delivery of a Notice of Interest Terms, appropriately completed in accordance with the instructions contained in such form. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent any original Notice of Interest Terms initially delivered by facsimile or email. If Borrower fails to notify Administrative Agent of the next Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loans in accordance with this Section 2.1.2(d)(ii), such Loans shall automatically convert to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor. Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower of each determination of the Interest Rate applicable to each Loan.

(e) Interest Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate when calculated using the Prime Rate shall be based upon a year of 365 days or, in the case of a leap year, 366 days, shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) in the period for which such interest is payable, and shall be adjusted in accordance with any changes in the Base Rate to take effect on the beginning of the day of such change in the Base Rate. All computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate and the Federal Funds Rate shall be based upon a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) in the period for which such

interest or fees are payable. Borrower agrees that all computations by Administrative Agent of interest shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

2.1.3 [Reserved]

2.1.4 Loan Funding.

(a) Notice to Lenders. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents of each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Interest Terms.

(b) Pro Rata Loans. All Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares of such Loans, with each Borrowing to consist of a Loan by each Lender equal to such Lender’s Proportionate Share of such Loan.

(c) Lender Funding. Before 11:00 a.m. on the date of each Borrowing of a Eurodollar Loan and before 2:00 p.m. on the date of each Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan, each Lender shall make available to the account of Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose, by wire transfer, immediately available funds in Dollars, such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan to be made on such date. The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Loan. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(d) Failure of Lender to Fund. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable date of a Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan requested on such date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with the prior paragraph and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand (and, in any event, within two Business Days from the applicable date of such Borrowing) from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the applicable date of such Borrowing until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Business Days after such date. If such Lender pays such amount to Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Proportionate Share of such Loan. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor or within two Business Days from the applicable date of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from the applicable date of such Borrowing until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate then payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Any amounts repaid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.1.4(d) shall be available for re-borrowing if (i) the non-funding Lender makes available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s

Proportionate Share of the Loan requested, including interest thereon, or (ii) a substitute Lender advances such repaid amounts pursuant to Section 11.14. Nothing in this Section 2.1.4(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its obligations hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(e) Construction Account. No later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, if the applicable conditions precedent listed in Article 3 have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof and, subject to Section 2.1.4(d), to the extent Administrative Agent shall have received the appropriate funds from the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall make available the Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing (or so much thereof as shall have been determined pursuant to Section 3.4) in Dollars and in immediately available funds, and shall deposit or cause to be deposited the proceeds of such Loans into the Construction Account.

2.1.5 Conversion of Loan Type; Continuation of Eurodollar Loans. Upon notice as provided in Section 2.1.6, Borrower may convert Loans from one Type to another Type or continue a Eurodollar Loan; provided, that:

(a) any conversion of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on, the first day after the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans; provided that such conversion may be made on another date so long as Borrower pays any applicable Eurodollar Breakage Costs;

(b) Loans shall be converted into Eurodollar Loans only in amounts of $1,000,000 and increments of $100,000 in excess thereof;

(c) any portion of a Loan maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan;

(d) notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to Borrower (provided that if such Event of Default is an Event of Default under Section 8.1.2 applicable to Borrower, then the following shall be automatic rather than following notice), that (i) no outstanding Loan may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Loan and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(e) any portion of a Eurodollar Loan that cannot be converted or continued as a Eurodollar Loan, or with respect to which Borrower fails to give a timely Notice of Interest Terms, appropriately completed in accordance with the instructions contained in such form, shall be converted at the end of an Interest Period then in effect for such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

2.1.6 Notice of Interest Terms. Borrower shall request a Loan conversion or continuation, as the case may be, by delivering to Administrative Agent a Notice of Interest Terms in the form of Exhibit C-2, appropriately completed in accordance with the instructions contained in such form (a “Notice of Interest Terms”). Borrower shall deliver each Notice of

Interest Terms within the applicable Minimum Notice Period. Any Notice of Interest Terms shall be irrevocable.

2.1.7 Prepayments.

(a) Terms of All Prepayments.

(i) Upon the prepayment of any Loan (whether such prepayment is an optional prepayment under Section 2.1.7(b) or a Mandatory Prepayment), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender which made such Loan, (A) all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount of such Loan prepaid, (B) all accrued fees to the date of such prepayment relating to the amount of such Loan being prepaid, and (C) if such prepayment is the prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan, all Eurodollar Breakage Costs incurred by such Lender as a result of such prepayment.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but only in respect of any Mandatory Prepayment, Borrower shall have the right, by giving five Business Days’ notice to Administrative Agent, in lieu of prepaying a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan, to deposit or cause Administrative Agent to deposit into the Repayment Account an amount equal to the Eurodollar Loans to be prepaid. Such funds shall be held in the Repayment Account until the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to the Eurodollar Loan to be prepaid at which time such amount shall be used to prepay such Eurodollar Loan and any interest accrued on such amount shall be deposited into the Revenue Account. The deposit of amounts into the Repayment Account shall be deemed to satisfy Borrower’s obligation to make the relevant Mandatory Prepayment on its due date, but shall not, however, constitute a prepayment of Loans and all Loans to be prepaid using the proceeds from the Repayment Account shall continue to accrue interest at the then applicable interest rate for such Loans until actually prepaid. All amounts in the Repayment Account shall only be invested in Permitted Investments as directed in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent. Borrower shall bear the expense and risk of any such investment.

(b) Optional Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.1.7(a), Borrower may, at its option and without premium or penalty, upon three Business Days’ notice to Administrative Agent, prepay any Loans in whole or from time to time in part in minimum principal amounts of $1,000,000 or an incremental multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (provided, that such minimum amounts shall not apply to a prepayment of all outstanding Loans).

(c) Mandatory Prepayments. Borrower shall prepay Loans (i) to the extent required by Sections 7.4, 7.5 and 7.6, (ii) with the Net Cash Proceeds received in connection with the issuance of Debt (other than Debt permitted under the Credit Documents), (iii) with the Net Cash Proceeds of any Equity Issuance (including, but not limited to any tax equity contribution relating to Borrower or the Project), (iv) with the proceeds of any Grant unless the Tax Equity Contribution Conditions have been met, (v) with any Prepayment Amount, or (vi) as required under any other provision of the Credit Documents which requires such prepayment (each such prepayment, a “Mandatory Prepayment”). The provisions of this Section 2.1.7(c)

shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d) Notice of Prepayment. Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent by notice of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m. two Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a Mandatory Prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. If any notice of prepayment is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therefor, together with accrued interest to the payment date on the principal amount to be prepaid. Upon receipt of any notice of prepayment, Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.

(e) Repayment Account. All prepayments (whether optional prepayments or Mandatory Prepayments) shall be deposited in the Repayment Account for immediate application to the repayment of Loans (subject to Sections 2.1.7(a)(ii) and 2.7.1).

2.2 TOTAL COMMITMENTS.

2.2.1 Total Loan Commitment. The aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by the Lenders shall not exceed $247,000,000, as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.2.2 (such amount, so reduced from time to time, the “Total Loan Commitment”).

2.2.2 Reductions and Cancellations.

(a) Voluntary Reductions and Cancellations. Borrower may, from time to time upon five Business Days notice to Administrative Agent, permanently reduce (without premium or penalty), by an amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or cancel in its entirety the Total Loan Commitment, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.7(b) and this Section 2.2.2(a). Borrower may not reduce or cancel the Total Loan Commitment if, after giving effect to such reduction or cancellation, (a) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding would exceed the Total Loan Commitment, (b) the Available Construction Funds would not, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent and the Independent Engineer, equal or exceed remaining Project Costs (including budgeted contingency (or the appropriate part thereof) and anticipated Eurodollar Breakage Costs, if any, arising from any prepayment related to such reduction or cancellation), or (c) such reduction or cancellation would cause a Default or Event of Default or have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Mandatory Reduction. In the event that there is an update to the Cost Segregation Report, as provided in Section 5.23, that anticipates a reduction in the expected amount of the Grant, as compared to the prior Cost Segregation Report, the Total Loan Commitment shall be provisionally reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such reduction multiplied by 95%. Such reduction shall become permanent upon achievement of the Commercial Operation Date in the event that no update to the Cost Segregation Report at that

time has restored the expected amount of the Grant (without taking into account any increase in the expected amount of the Grant resulting from expenditure of contingency).

(c) Commitment Fee for Reductions and Cancellations. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent any Commitment Fee then due in respect of the canceled or reduced portion of the Total Loan Commitment (if applicable) upon any cancellation or reduction and, from the effective date of any cancellation or reduction, the Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of the amount of the Total Loan Commitment as so canceled or reduced. No such reduction shall apply to Total Loan Commitments that are only provisionally reduced pursuant to Section 2.2.2(b).

(d) Increase or Reinstatement; Ratable Application. Once reduced or canceled, the applicable Commitment may not be increased or reinstated. Any reduction in the Total Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.2.2 shall be applied ratably to each Lender’s Loan Commitments in accordance with Section 2.5.1.

2.3 FEES.

2.3.1 Administrative Agent Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent solely for Administrative Agent’s account the fees and other amounts described in the Fee Letter.

2.3.2 Commitment Fee. On the last Business Day in each calendar quarter and on and until the Maturity Date (or, if the Total Loan Commitment is canceled prior to such date, on the date of such cancellation), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender which becomes a Defaulting Lender by virtue of clause (a) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”), accruing from the Closing Date or the first day of such quarter, as the case may be, a commitment fee for such quarter (or portion thereof) then ending equal to the product of (a) the daily average Available Loan Commitment (excluding any of the Available Loan Commitment of any such Defaulting Lender) for such quarter (or portion thereof), multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such quarter (or portion thereof) and the denominator of which is the number of days in that calendar year (365 or 366, as the case may be), multiplied by (c) 0.75%.

2.3.3 Arrangement Fees. Borrower shall pay to the Lead Arranger, solely for the account of such Person in such capacity, the fees as described and in the manner set forth in the Fee Letter.

2.4 OTHER PAYMENT TERMS.

2.4.1 Place and Manner. Except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter or any other provision contained in any of the Credit Documents, Borrower shall make all payments due hereunder to Administrative Agent, to the account in the name of Milford Wind Corridor Phase II, Account No. 400931052, at JPMorgan Chase Bank, ABA No. 000000000, or such other account as Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower from time to time, in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date on which such payment is due. Any payment made after such time on any day shall be deemed received on the Business Day after such payment is received. Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Secured Party each such payment received by Administrative Agent for such Secured Party to be applied in accordance

with the terms of this Agreement, such disbursement to occur on the day such payment is received if received by 12:00 noon or if otherwise reasonably possible, or otherwise on the next Business Day. Upon its acceptance and recording in the Register of any Assignment and Assumption entered into under Section 13.17, from and after the effective date specified therein, Administrative Agent shall make all the payments hereunder in respect of this Agreement interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

2.4.2 Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be, without duplication of any interest or fees so paid in the next subsequent calculation of interest or fees payable; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of a Eurodollar Loan to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

2.4.3 Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any accrued but unpaid interest payments thereon and any accrued but unpaid fees and other amounts hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under applicable Bankruptcy Laws) from the date of such Event of Default until the Event of Default is cured or waived, after as well as before judgment, payable upon demand at a rate that is (a) 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate then otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans or (b) in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate then otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Secured Party.

2.4.4 Net of Taxes, Costs, Etc.

(a) Taxes. Any and all payments to or for the benefit of any Secured Party by Borrower under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction, set-off or counterclaim of any kind whatsoever and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments, after deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessment, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (excluding (i) income or franchise taxes imposed on or measured by the net income, net profits or capital of such Secured Party by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of a connection between such Secured Party and such jurisdiction or political subdivision, unless such connection results solely from such Secured Party’s executing, delivering or performing its obligations or receiving a payment under, or enforcing, this Agreement (such excluded taxes described in (i) being hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Lender Income Taxes”), and (ii) any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to a Secured Party at the time it becomes a party to this Agreement,

except to the extent that such Secured Party’s assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.4.4) (all such non-excluded taxes, assessment, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges or withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”), shall be equal to the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under the Credit Documents. If Borrower shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Credit Document to any Secured Party, (i) subject to such Secured Party’s compliance with Section 2.4.6, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4.4), such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (not including Excluded Lender Income Taxes) that arise under the laws of the United States of America, the State of New York, the Project Jurisdiction, the state of Borrower’s formation or any other jurisdiction from any payment made under any Credit Document or from the execution or delivery or otherwise with respect to any Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(b) Tax Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify such Secured Party for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.4.4) paid by any Secured Party, or any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payments by Borrower pursuant to this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Secured Party makes written demand therefor (submitted through Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof; provided, that if such Secured Party procures the refund of any indemnified amount, such Secured Party shall pay the amount of such refund, net of costs and taxes incurred by such Secured Party as a result of such refund, to Borrower within 30 days after receipt of such refund amount, provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, this sentence shall not be construed to grant the Borrower any right to review the tax returns of such Secured Party.

(c) Notice. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes by Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 13.1.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or, if such receipt is not obtainable, other evidence of such payment by Borrower reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall compensate each Secured Party for all reasonable losses and expenses sustained by such Secured Party as a result of any failure by Borrower to so furnish such copy of such receipt. In the event of any payment hereunder by or on behalf of Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or on behalf of Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, Borrower shall furnish, or cause such payor to furnish, to Administrative Agent an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this Section, the terms “United States” and “United States person” have the respective meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code.

2.4.5 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Credit Document, payments made under the Credit Documents and other amounts received by the Secured Parties under the Credit Documents shall first be applied to any fees, costs, charges or expenses payable to the Secured Parties under the Credit Documents, next to any accrued but unpaid interest then due and owing, then to outstanding principal then due and owing or otherwise to be prepaid, in each case, such application to be made on a pro rata basis among such applicable Persons.

2.4.6 Withholding Exemption Certificates. Administrative Agent on the Closing Date and each Lender upon becoming a Lender and each Person to which any Lender grants a participation (or otherwise transfers its interest in this Agreement) agree that such Lender or Person will deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower either (a) if such Lender or Person is organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, an executed copy of a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or (b) if such Lender or Person is not organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be (certifying therein (i) in case such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, an entitlement to a reduction in, or an exemption from, United States withholding taxes with respect to payments of interest, and (ii) otherwise, an entitlement to an exemption from United States withholding taxes) and, in case such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a duly completed and executed non-bank certificate in the form of Exhibit I. Each Lender which delivers to Borrower and Administrative Agent a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent further copies of the Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification or procedure, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or within a reasonable time after gaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such cases any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or which would prevent a Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.4.6, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.4.6 that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 2.4.4 (or make an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 2.4.4) to any Lender (including any entity to which any Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement) to the extent the obligation to pay such additional amounts (or such indemnification) would not have arisen but for a failure of such Lender to comply with its obligations under this Section 2.4.6.

2.4.7 Authorization. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due, to charge from time to time against any or all of Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amounts so due.

2.4.8 Administrative Agent Assumption. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by Borrower prior to the date on which any payment from Borrower is due hereunder that Borrower does not intend to make such payment in full, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment in full to Administrative Agent on such date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Secured Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Secured Party. If and to the extent Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to Administrative Agent, each Secured Party shall repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Secured Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Secured Party until the date such Secured Party repays such amount to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

2.5 PRO RATA TREATMENT.

2.5.1 Borrowings, Commitment Reductions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) each Borrowing and each reduction of the Total Loan Commitment shall be made or allocated among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares of the Loans or Loan Commitments, as the case may be and (b) each payment of principal of and interest on Loans shall be made or shared among the Lenders holding such Loans pro rata according to their respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans held by such Lenders, and (c) each payment of Commitment Fee upon reduction of the Total Loan Commitment shall be shared among the Lenders pro rata according to (i) their respective Proportionate Shares of the Total Loan Commitment, and (ii) in the case of each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement hereunder after the Closing Date, the date upon which such Lender so became a party hereunder.

2.5.2 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Secured Party shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of Loans owed to it, in excess of its Proportionate Share of payments on account of such Loans obtained by all Secured Parties entitled to such payments, such Secured Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Secured Parties such participation in the Loans as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Secured Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Secured Party, such purchase from such Secured Party shall be rescinded and each other Secured Party shall repay to the purchasing Secured Party the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Secured Party’s Proportionate Share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such other Secured Party’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Secured Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Secured Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrower agrees that any Secured Party so purchasing a participation from another Secured Party pursuant to this Section 2.5.2 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such

participation as fully as if such Secured Party were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.6 CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

2.6.1 Inability to Determine Rates. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loans, (a) Administrative Agent determines that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined due to the unavailability of funds in or other circumstances affecting the London interbank market, or (b) Lenders holding aggregate Proportionate Shares of 25% or more of the Loan Commitments shall advise Administrative Agent that (i) the rates of interest for such Eurodollar Loans do not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans or (ii) deposits in Dollars in the London interbank market are not available to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by each such Lender in good faith to Administrative Agent and to Borrower) in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to make and/or maintain their Eurodollar Loans, then Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice of such condition to Borrower and the Lenders. After the giving of any such notice and until Administrative Agent shall otherwise notify Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such condition no longer exist Borrower’s right to request the making of or conversion to, and the Lenders’ obligations to make or convert to, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and any Eurodollar Loans outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Loans into Base Rate Loans unless such suspension has then ended. In the alternative, if clause (b)(i) has been triggered and Borrower so requests, Borrower’s right to request the making of or conversion to, and the Lenders’ obligations to make or convert to, Eurodollar Loans shall not be suspended and any Eurodollar Loans outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension need not be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Loans into Base Rate Loans, and, until Administrative Agent shall otherwise notify Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such condition no longer exist, Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the weighted average of the rates per annum (calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days) certified to Administrative Agent by each Lender as soon as practicable but, in any event, before interest is due to be paid in respect of such Interest Period, constituting the cost to such Lender of funding its participation in such Borrowing from whatever source it may reasonably select; provided that, in calculating such average the Administrative Agent shall ignore the highest and the lowest rate so certified and any Lender that does not respond (A) within 5 Business Days or (B) prior to interest being due in respect of such Interest Period shall be deemed to have certified the applicable Eurodollar Rate.

2.6.2 Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a result of amendment, or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender or Borrower with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, being of a type with which a Lender customarily complies) of any Governmental Authority (a “Change of Law”) shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan, then such Lender shall immediately notify

Administrative Agent and Borrower of such Change of Law. Upon receipt of such notice, (a) Borrower’s right to request the making of or conversion to, and the Lender’s obligations to make or convert to, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended for so long as such condition shall exist, and (b) Borrower shall at its option, upon request of such Lender, either (i) pursuant to Section 2.1.5, convert any then outstanding Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans, in accordance with such request, immediately or at the end of the current Interest Periods for such Loans, or (ii) prepay pursuant to Section 2.1.7 any then outstanding Eurodollar Loans. Any conversion or prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Section 2.7.

2.6.3 Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, any Change of Law:

(a) shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Eurodollar Loan or Commitment in respect thereof, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments by Borrower to any Lender on such a Loan or with respect to any such Commitment (except for Taxes, Other Taxes or changes in the rate of taxation of Excluded Lender Income Taxes); or

(b) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (without duplication of any reserve requirement included within the applicable Interest Rate through the definition of “Reserve Requirement”) against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by any Lender for any Eurodollar Loan; or

(c) shall impose on any Lender any other condition directly related to any Eurodollar Loan or Commitment in respect thereof;

and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, issuing, creating, renewing, participating in (subject to the limitations in Section 13.17.3) or maintaining any such Eurodollar Loan or Commitment in respect thereof or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder, then Borrower shall from time to time, within 10 days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts and the basis for determination of such amount, submitted by such Lender to Borrower, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower for purposes of this Agreement.

2.6.4 Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that (a) the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the date hereof of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender, or the Lending Office of such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a “Capital Adequacy Requirement”) as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or

Loan Commitments or other obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Person could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling Person with regard to capital adequacy), and (b) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Person which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Person, within 10 days after delivery of demand by such Lender or such Person, such amounts as such Lender or such Person shall reasonably determine are necessary to compensate such Lender or such Person for such reduced return or the increased costs to such Lender or such Person of such increased capital. A certificate of such Lender or such Person, setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any such increased costs, delivered to Borrower by such Lender or such Person shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower for purposes of this Agreement.

2.6.5 Notice. Each Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.6, as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than 180 days after the principal officer of such Lender responsible for administering this Agreement obtains knowledge thereof; provided, that any Lender’s failure to notify Borrower within such 180-day period shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 2.6 with respect to claims arising prior to the end of such period, but shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 2.6 with respect to the time between the end of such period and such time as Borrower receives notice from the indemnitee as provided herein, except that if the event which entitles such Lender to compensation under this Section 2.6 shall be retroactive to a time prior to the commencement of such 180-day period, such period shall commence from such earlier date. No Person purchasing from a Lender a participation in the Loan Commitment (as opposed to an assignment) shall be entitled to any payment from or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6.3 or Section 2.6.4 which would be in excess of the applicable proportionate amount (based on the portion of the Loan Commitment) which would then be payable to such Lender if such Lender had not sold a participation in that portion of the Loan Commitment.

2.7 FUNDING LOSSES.

2.7.1 Eurodollar Funding Costs. If Borrower shall (a) repay or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan (whether an optional prepayment or a Mandatory Prepayment), (b) fail to borrow any Eurodollar Loan in accordance with a Notice of Borrowing delivered to Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), (c) fail to convert any Loan into a Eurodollar Loan in accordance with a Notice of Interest Terms delivered to Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), (d) fail to continue any Eurodollar Loan in accordance with a Notice of Interest Terms delivered to Administrative Agent, (e) fail to make any prepayment in accordance with any notice of prepayment delivered to Administrative Agent, (f) fail to pay when due the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan, or (g) convert a Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan on any date other than the last day of an Interest Period, then Borrower shall, within five days after demand by any Lender, indemnify such Lender and hold it harmless from any and all costs,

expenses, losses and liabilities (collectively, the “Eurodollar Breakage Costs”) incurred by such Lender as a result of such repayment, prepayment, conversion or failure. Borrower understands and agrees that Eurodollar Breakage Costs may include costs, expenses, losses and liabilities, but not loss of the Rate Margin, incurred by a Lender as a result of funding and other contracts entered into by such Lender to fund Eurodollar Loans or otherwise arising from the redeployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds are obtained. If for any reason (other than final Maturity of the Loans or upon acceleration of the Loans upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default) Borrower is required to repay a portion of the Loans pursuant to the terms of any Credit Document and such repayment would cause Eurodollar Breakage Costs, Administrative Agent agrees, at Borrower’s request, to hold any such funds and only apply such funds to the repayment of the Loans upon the last day of Interest Periods in order to minimize Eurodollar Breakage Costs; provided, that Borrower shall remain liable for any additional interest that accrues on such held funds.

2.7.2 Calculation of Eurodollar Breakage Costs. Each Lender demanding payment under this Section 2.7 shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the amount of costs, expenses and losses for which the demand is made. Such certificate so delivered to Borrower shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the payable amount for purposes of this Agreement. For the purpose of calculation of any Eurodollar Breakage Costs each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period, provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Loans in any manner it deems appropriate, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under Section 2.7.1.

2.8 ALTERNATE OFFICE; MINIMIZATION OF COSTS.

2.8.1 To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternative Lending Office with respect to its Eurodollar Loans and otherwise take any reasonable actions to reduce any liability of Borrower to any Lender under Section 2.4.4, 2.6.3 or 2.6.4, to avoid triggering clause (b)(i) of Section 2.6.1 or to avoid the unavailability of any Type of Loans under Section 2.6.2 so long as (in the case of the designation of an alternative Lending Office) such Lender, in its sole discretion, determines that (a) such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender and (b) such actions would eliminate or reduce a material liability to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or actions within 10 Business Days of demand thereof to Borrower.

2.8.2 If and with respect to each occasion that a Lender (a) makes a demand for compensation pursuant to Section 2.4.4, 2.6.3 or 2.6.4, (b) has notified Administrative Agent of a circumstance under clause (b)(i) of Section 2.6.1 or (c) is unable for a period of three consecutive months to fund Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.6.2 or such Lender is a Defaulting Lender then Borrower may, upon at least five Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice to each of such Lender and Administrative Agent, in whole permanently replace the Loans and Loan Commitments of such Lender; provided, that Borrower shall replace such Loans and Loan

Commitments of such Lender with the Loans and Loan Commitments of a commercial bank reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

5.10 INDEMNIFICATION.

5.10.1 Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Secured Parties, in their respective capacities, and their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against, and indemnify and reimburse the Indemnitees for:

(a) any and all claims, obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries (to Person, property, or natural resources), penalties, stamp or other similar taxes, actions, suits, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) of whatever kind or nature, whether or not well founded, meritorious or unmeritorious, payable to third parties, that have been incurred by, or demanded, asserted, claimed or awarded against any such Indemnitee (collectively, “Subject Claims”) in any way relating to, or arising out of or in connection with (i) any Operative Documents to which it is a party, (ii) the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (iii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom;

(b) any and all Subject Claims arising in connection with any Environmental Claims, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, including all costs of removal, investigation, remediation and disposal of any Hazardous Substances, together with all reasonable costs required to be incurred in (i) determining whether the Project or any Person is in compliance and (ii) causing the Project or any Person to be in compliance, with all applicable Legal Requirements, all reasonable costs associated with claims for damages to Persons or property, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees, investigation and laboratory fees, response costs and court costs; and

(c) any and all Subject Claims in any way relating to, or arising out of or in connection with any claims, suits or liabilities against Borrower or any of its Affiliates to the extent related to the Project or the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.

5.10.2 The foregoing indemnities shall not apply with respect to an Indemnitee, to the extent determined by final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent

jurisdiction to have arisen as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, but shall continue to apply to other Indemnitees.

5.10.3 The provisions of this Section 5.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the foreclosure of the Collateral Documents and satisfaction or discharge of Borrower’s Obligations under the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of any Indemnitee.

5.10.4 In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall notify Borrower of the commencement thereof, and Borrower shall be entitled, at its expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee, to participate in, and, to the extent that Borrower desires, to assume and control the defense thereof. Such Indemnitee shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in any action, suit or proceeding the defense of which has been assumed by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be entitled to assume and control the defenses of any such action, suit or proceedings if and to the extent that, in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee and its counsel, such action, suit or proceeding involves the potential imposition of criminal liability upon such Indemnitee or a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and Borrower or between such Indemnitee and another Indemnitee (unless such conflict of interest is waived by the affected Indemnitees), and in such event (other than with respect to disputes between such Indemnitee and another Indemnitee) Borrower shall pay the reasonable expenses of such Indemnitee in such defense.

5.10.5 If Borrower has assumed the defense of any action, suit or proceeding pursuant to Section 5.10.4, Borrower shall promptly report to such Indemnitee on the status of such action, suit or proceeding as material developments shall occur and from time to time as requested by such Indemnitee (but not more than every 60 days). Borrower shall deliver to such Indemnitee a copy of each document filed or served on any party in such action, suit or proceeding, and each material document which Borrower possesses relating to such action, suit or proceeding.

5.10.6 Notwithstanding Borrower’s rights hereunder to control certain actions, suits or proceedings:

(a) if any Indemnitee reasonably determines that failure to compromise or settle any Subject Claim made against such Indemnitee is reasonably likely to subject such Indemnitee to civil, criminal or administrative penalties, to result in the loss, suspension or impairment of a license or Permit held by such Indemnitee or to cause material damage to such Indemnitee’s reputation, such Indemnitee shall be entitled to compromise or settle such Subject Claim; and

(b) if the Required Lenders reasonably determine that failure to compromise or settle any Subject Claim made against such Indemnitee is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower with notice of a proposed compromise or settlement of such claim specifying in detail the nature and amount of such proposed settlement or compromise. Borrower (or any other relevant Borrower Entity shall be deemed to have approved such proposed compromise or settlement unless, within 30 days after

the date Borrower receives such notice of intended compromise or settlement, Borrower provides the Lenders with a written legal analysis from counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent reasonably concluding that, based on the magnitude of the Subject Claim, the legal basis for such Subject Claim, the cost of defending such Subject Claim or the amount of such proposed settlement or compromise is not within a reasonable range of settlements or compromises for such Subject Claim, and indicating, based on such factors, such counsel’s view as to the appropriate amount of a reasonable settlement or compromise for such Subject Claim (the “Settlement Amount”). If the Lenders receive such legal analysis required by this Section 5.10.6 within such 30-day period, then (i) the Required Lenders may elect to settle or compromise such Subject Claim and Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of all amounts of such compromise or settlement up to 125% of the Settlement Amount, (ii) such Indemnitee shall be responsible for payment of all amounts of such compromise or settlement in excess of such 125% limit and (iii) such compromise or settlement shall be binding upon Borrower. If Borrower does not provide such legal analysis within such period, or if such legal analysis is not reasonable, in the determination of the Required Lenders, then such Indemnitee may settle or compromise such Subject Claim (and Borrower shall cause any other relevant Borrower Entity to agree to the same) and shall be fully indemnified by Borrower therefor. The Lenders shall not otherwise settle or compromise any such Subject Claim other than at their own expense.

5.10.7 Upon payment of any Subject Claim by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.10 or other similar indemnity provisions contained herein to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, Borrower, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating thereto, and such Indemnitee shall cooperate with Borrower and Borrower’s insurance carrier and give such further assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable Borrower vigorously to pursue such claims.

5.10.8 Any amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall be regularly payable within 30 days after Borrower receives an invoice for such amounts from any applicable Indemnitee, and if not paid within such 30-day period shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

5.10.9 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Borrower shall not, in connection with any one legal proceeding or claim, or separate but related proceedings or claims arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, in which the interests of the Indemnitees do not materially differ, be liable to the Indemnitees (or any of them) under any of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.10 for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of lead attorneys and a number of firms of “local counsel” equal to the number of jurisdictions involved (which firms shall be selected by the affected Indemnitees, or upon failure to so select, by Administrative Agent).

5.10.10 Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.10, any of Borrower’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 5.10.1 that arise out of or in connection with or by reason of, or in connection with a preparation of a defense of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding shall be, in each case, binding upon Borrower regardless of whether such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Borrower Entity or its respective

directors, officers, shareholders or creditors or any Indemnitee or whether any Indemnitee or any other Person is otherwise a party thereto.

5.10.11 If, for any reason whatsoever, the indemnification provided under this Section 5.10 is unavailable to any Indemnitee or is insufficient to hold it harmless to the extent provided in this Section 5.10, then provided such payment is not prohibited by or contrary to any applicable Legal Requirement or public policy, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of the Subject Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of Borrower and its Affiliates on the one hand, and such Indemnitee on the other hand, in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of Borrower (and its Affiliates) and such Indemnitee with respect to such Subject Claim, and any other relevant equitable considerations.

5.10.12 Nothing in this Section 5.10 shall constitute a release by Borrower of any claims that it has as a result of a breach or a default by any of the Secured Parties of their respective obligations under any Credit Document.

5.26.2 Each party hereto acknowledges that CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time) shall govern (a) the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the CoBank Equities and any patronage refunds or other distributions made on account thereof or on account of Borrower’s patronage with CoBank, (b) Borrower’s eligibility for patronage distributions from CoBank (in the form of CoBank Equities and cash) and (c) patronage distributions, if any, in the event of a sale of a participation interest. CoBank reserves the right to assign or sell participations in all or any part of its Commitments or outstanding Loans hereunder on a non-patronage basis.

5.26.3 Each party hereto acknowledges that CoBank has a statutory first lien pursuant to the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (as amended from time to time) on all CoBank Equities that the Borrower may now own or hereafter acquire, which statutory lien shall be for CoBank’s sole and exclusive benefit. The CoBank Equities shall not constitute security for the Obligations due to any other Lender. To the extent that any of the Credit Documents create a Lien on the CoBank Equities or on patronage accrued by CoBank for the account of Borrower (including, in each case, proceeds thereof), such Lien shall be for CoBank’s sole and exclusive benefit and shall not be subject to pro rata sharing hereunder. Neither the CoBank Equities nor any accrued patronage shall be offset against the Obligations except that, in the event of an Event of Default, CoBank may elect to apply the cash portion of any patronage distribution or retirement of equity to amounts due under this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that any corresponding tax liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of Borrower. CoBank shall have no obligation to retire the CoBank Equities upon any Event of Default, Default or any other default by Borrower or any other Credit Party, or at any other time, either for application to the Obligations or otherwise.

Apply or execute upon any amounts on deposit in any Account or any Proceeds, cash collateral, proceeds of foreclosing or otherwise realizing upon Collateral, or any other moneys of Borrower on deposit with any Secured Party in the manner provided in the UCC and other relevant statutes and decisions and interpretations thereunder with respect to cash collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall have all rights and powers with respect to Proceeds, cash collateral, the Accounts and the contents of the Accounts as it has with respect to any other Collateral and may apply, or cause the application of, such amounts to the payment of interest, principal, fees, costs, charges or other amounts due or payable to any Secured Party with respect to the Loans in such order as the Required Lenders may elect in their sole discretion.

8.2.6 Remedies Under Credit Documents. Exercise, and direct Administrative Agent Depositary or Collateral Agent (as the case may be) to exercise, any and all rights and remedies available to it under any of the Credit Documents, including judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or public or private sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

ARTICLE 9
SCPPA AND PPA PROVISIONS

9.1 SCPPA CURE RIGHTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, upon Administrative Agent learning of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall provide written notice to SCPPA of such Event of Default. Prior to any Secured Party exercising any remedies with respect to such Event of Default, SCPPA shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default so long as such cure is completed within the SCPPA Cure Period and as provided in this Article 9. Any such cure by SCPPA shall be treated as if Borrower had cured the applicable default within the cure period afforded Borrower for such Event of Default under this Agreement.

9.2 SCPPA CURE LOANS.

9.2.1 Borrowing of SCPPA Cure Loans. In the event that the cure of an Event of Default as set forth in Section 9.1 would reduce the purchase price of the Project under the PPA pursuant to Section 15.21 thereof, then Borrower shall be deemed to have requested the Borrowing of Loans in the amount of such reduction on the date of such cure (each a “SCPPA Cure Loan”) and Lenders shall make such SCPPA Cure Loan at any time on or after the date of such cure notwithstanding any failure to meet the conditions in Section 3.2. The proceeds of such SCPPA Cure Loans shall be deposited in the SCPPA Cure Reserve Account.

9.2.2 SCPPA Holdback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, there shall be a reserve against the borrowing of Loans (other than SCPPA Cure Loans) in the amount of (a) the Maximum SCPPA Cure Amount less (b) the aggregate amount of SCPPA Cure Loans outstanding.

9.3 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Borrower hereby grants to each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent a power of attorney to send any and all notices under the PPA, and take any actions under the PPA, in its name and on its behalf; and such power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such power of attorney shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

9.4 SCPPA AS THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, SCPPA is an express third party beneficiary of the provisions of Section 9.1 and definitions related thereto and shall be entitled to exercise and enforce its rights thereunder, and such section and related definitions may not be amended or modified without SCPPA’s written consent.

9.5 ASSIGNMENT OF THE LOANS TO SCPPA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document (other than the SCPPA Consent), if the conditions in Section 1.3(c) of the SCPPA Consent have been met, each Lender agrees to assign to SCPPA all of such Lender’s rights, title, interests and obligations under this Agreement (including the Loans and Loan Commitments) and the other Credit Documents as set forth in Section 1.3(c) of the SCPPA Consent. Borrower’s consent to such assignment shall not be required and the fee set forth in Section 13.17.2(d) shall not be charged. Upon the consummation of such sale, the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, each Co-Syndication Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger and each Joint Bookrunner shall each be deemed to have resigned in their respective capacities, and SCPPA shall, without any further action, be entitled to exercise the Lenders’ rights and assume the Lenders’ obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and shall become Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. Borrower agrees to enter into any documents reasonably requested by SCPPA to evidence such resignation and such agency appointments, as well as such rights and obligations assigned to SCPPA.

ARTICLE 10

The limitations on recourse set forth in this Article 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of all Commitments and the payment and performance in full of the Obligations.

11.2 RIGHTS AS A LENDER. The Persons serving as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Persons and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

11.3 EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS

11.3.1 Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for); provided, that Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity.

11.3.2 Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (a) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances) or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect unless and until notice describing such is given to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by Borrower or a Lender.

11.3.3 Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Credit Document, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (e) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (f) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

11.4 RELIANCE. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent and Collateral

Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

11.5 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers under the Credit Documents by or through Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, respectively, or any one or more sub-agents appointed by them, with or without a written agency appointment. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory and indemnification provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

11.6 RESIGNATION. Either Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Secured Parties and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that if Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall notify Borrower and the Secured Parties that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Collateral Agent, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower

and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation under the Credit Documents, the provisions of the exculpatory and indemnification provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent was acting as such.

11.7 NON-RELIANCE. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lead Arranger or any Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon any Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

11.8 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM

11.8.1 In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, if Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent hereunder.

11.8.2 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of

any Secured Party to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party or in any such proceeding.

11.9 COLLATERAL MATTERS. The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Collateral Agent under any Collateral Document (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (b) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any Credit Document, or (c) if approved, authorized or ratified in accordance herewith. In addition, the Secured Parties irrevocably authorize Collateral Agent to release any Lien upon the proceeds of the Grant if the Tax Equity Contribution Conditions have been satisfied.

11.10 OTHER HOLDERS OF TITLES. None of the Lead Arranger, the Bookrunner, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners and the Co-Syndication Agents shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lead Arranger, Bookrunner, Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners and the Co-Syndication Agents shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party. Each Secured Party hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the Lead Arranger and the Bookrunner as it makes with respect to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in this Article 11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Lead Arranger, Bookrunner, Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners and the Co-Syndication Agents hold such titles in name only, and that such titles confer no additional rights or obligations relative to those conferred on any Secured Party hereunder.

11.11 INDEMNIFICATION. Without limiting the Obligations of Borrower, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Lead Arranger, Joint Lead Arrangers, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, controlling Persons, employees, agents and servants, ratably in accordance with their Proportionate Shares for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, Joint Lead Arrangers, Collateral Agent or such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents in respect of actions taken by such Persons in their respective capacities as Lead Arranger, Joint Lead Arrangers, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent or officers, directors, shareholders, controlling Persons, employees, agents and servants thereof (to the extent Borrower has not paid any such amounts pursuant to Section 5.10); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent’s, the Lead Arranger’s, such Joint Lead Arranger’s, Collateral Agent’s or any such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as proven by the non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Administrative Agent or any such Person shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take any action under any Credit Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such

action. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, Joint Lead Arrangers, Collateral Agent or any such Person promptly upon demand for its Proportionate Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, Joint Lead Arrangers, Collateral Agent or any such Person in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Operative Documents, to the extent that Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, Joint Lead Arrangers, Collateral Agent or any such Person is not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrower. The agreements in this Section shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of Borrower’s Obligations under the Credit Documents.

11.12 WITHHOLDING TAX. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 2.4.6 are not delivered to Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

11.12.1 If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent), then such Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all reasonable expenses incurred, including reasonable legal expenses, allocated reasonable staff costs, and any reasonable out of pocket expenses. Borrower shall not be responsible for any amounts paid or required to be paid by a Lender under this Section 11.12.1.

11.12.2 If any Lender sells, assigns, grants participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee, participant or transferee, as applicable, shall comply and be bound by the terms of Section 2.4.6 and this Section 11.12 as though it were such Lender.

11.13 GENERAL PROVISIONS AS TO PAYMENTS. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its pro rata share of each payment of principal and interest payable to the Lenders on the Loans and of fees hereunder received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and of any other amounts owing under the Loans. The payments made for the account of each Lender shall be made, and distributed to it, at its Lending Office for the account of (a) its domestic lending office in the case of payments of principal of, and interest on, its Base Rate Loans, (b) its domestic or foreign lending office, as each Lender may designate in writing to Administrative Agent, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (c) its domestic lending office, or such other lending office as it may designate for the purpose from time to time, in the case of payments of fees and other amounts payable hereunder. Lenders shall have the right to alter their Lending Offices upon five Business Days prior notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower.

11.14 SUBSTITUTION OF LENDER. Should any Lender fail to make a Loan (a “Non-Advancing Lender”), Administrative Agent shall (a) in its sole discretion fund the Loan on behalf of the Non-Advancing Lender or (b) if requested by Borrower, cooperate and consult with Borrower or any other Lender to find another Person that shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent and that shall be willing to assume the Non-Advancing Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including the obligation to make the Loan which the Non-Advancing Lender failed to make but without assuming any liability for damages for failing to have made such Loan or any previously required Loan). Subject to the provisions of the next following sentence, such Person shall be substituted for the Non-Advancing Lender hereunder upon execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of an agreement acceptable to Administrative Agent by such Person assuming the Non-Advancing Lender’s obligations (including its Loan Commitments) under this Agreement, and all interest and fees which would otherwise have been payable to the Non-Advancing Lender shall thereafter be payable to such Person. Nothing in (and no action taken pursuant to) this Section 11.14 shall relieve the Non-Advancing Lender from any liability it might have to Borrower or to the other Lenders as a result of its failure to make any Loan.

11.15 JOINDER BY SECURED PARTIES. Each Secured Party which is not an Agent or Lender shall, by execution of a Credit Agreement Joinder in the form of Exhibit N, agree to the terms of, benefit from, and be bound by, Article 7, Article 11, Sections 2.5.2, 13.1 and 13.20, the defined terms referred to in such Article and Sections, and such other provisions of the Credit Documents that bind and benefit the Secured Parties.

11.16 DELIVERY OF COPIES TO LENDERS. If requested, Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver or make available to each Lender copies of any financial statements, notices, reports, plans, budgets or other documents received by Administrative Agent from or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 (Notices), Section 5.5 (Financial Reports), Section 5.8 (Reports), Section 5.13 (Completion; Commercial Operation) and Section 5.14 (Operation and Maintenance of Project; Operating Budget), as applicable, and such other documents and other information available to Administrative Agent as may be reasonably requested by any Secured Party.

(c) Required Consents.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.17.2 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.17.3.

105

13.17.3 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loan Commitment and/or the Loans; provided, that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (c) Borrower and the Secured Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Subject to Section 13.17.4, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.4.4, 2.6.3 and 2.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements of such sections) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.17.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.2.2 as though it were a Lender, provided, such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.5.2 as though it were a Lender.

13.17.4 Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.4 or 2.6 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior consent. A Participant that is not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.4.4 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.4.5 as though it were a Lender.

106

13.17.7 Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such from time to time by the Granting Lender to Administrative Agent and Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (a) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (b) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.1.4(d). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Credit Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Loan Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without prior consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $2,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

13.17.8 Provision of Information. Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose any information concerning any Credit Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants) in accordance with the provisions hereof.

13.17.9 Cost to Lenders. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any cost or expense incurred by a Lender in connection with an assignment or participation permitted under this Agreement shall be for the account of such Lender and not for the account of Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

13.18 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in one or more duplicate counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.

107

13.19 SURVIVAL. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the making of the Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, and without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower set forth in Sections 2.4.4, 2.6.3, 2.6.4, 2.7, 5.10, 11.3 and 13.4 and the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Sections 11.1, 11.5 and 11.11 shall survive the payment and performance of the Loans and the other Obligations and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn hereunder, the termination of the Commitments and the termination or expiration of this Agreement or any provision hereof, and, in the case of any Lender that may assign any interest in its Commitment(s) or Loans hereunder, shall survive the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may cease to be a “Lender” hereunder.

13.20.1 Any provision of the Credit Documents may be amended, modified, supplemented or waived, or any consent thereunder granted, only by an instrument signed by the Required Lenders and, where a provision requires consent from Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, signed by such Person, and the relevant Credit Party; provided, that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders:

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this certificate shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The undersigned hereby certifies, on behalf of Borrower, in his capacity as the [Chief Financial Officer][Treasurer] thereof, and not in his individual capacity, as follows:

1. I have reviewed the provisions of the Credit Documents which are relevant to the furnishing of this certificate, and, in my opinion, have made, or have caused to be made under my supervision, such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable me to express an informed opinion as to the matters referred to herein.

2. Based upon my review and examination described in paragraph 1 above, I certify that as of the date hereof, immediately after giving effect to the transactions to occur on the Closing Date and immediately following the occurrence of the first Credit Event, (a) the fair value of the assets of Borrower, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of Borrower, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of Borrower will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of Borrower on its debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) Borrower will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured (after giving effect to any guarantees and credit support) and (d) Borrower will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date. For purposes of this certificate, (i) “able to pay its debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured (after giving effect to any guarantees and credit support)” means that Borrower will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancings, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due, and (ii) the amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
