The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $84,500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.26% Senior Secured Notes due December 31, 2024 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to Article 17 and including any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Article 13, and together with the Parent Guarantees to be endorsed thereon, the “Notes”). The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A; and references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. References to an “Article” or a “Section” are references to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

ARTICLE 2

SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES; SECURITY FOR NOTES

Section 2.1 Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3.1, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule B at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations, and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

Sections 2.2 Security for the Notes. The Notes will be secured by the Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with the Security Documents. In addition, payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount (if any) and interest on, the Notes and other amounts owing hereunder shall be unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor as provided in Section 2.3

below (and each Note will have the guarantee (the “Parent Guarantee”) of the Guarantor endorsed thereon in the form set out in Section 2.3(h) below).

Section 2.3 Parent Guarantee.

(a)The Guarantor hereby guarantees to each Holder of the Notes the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory or optional prepayment or otherwise) of the principal of and Make-Whole Amount (if any) and interest on the Notes (including, without limitation, interest on any overdue principal, Make-Whole Amount and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on any overdue interest) and all other amounts from time to time owing by the Company under this Agreement and under the Notes (including, without limitation, costs, expenses and Taxes) (such payment obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantor hereby further agrees that if the Company shall default in the payment in full of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor will (x) promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory or optional prepayment or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal and (y) pay to each Holder of the Notes such amounts, to the extent lawful, as shall be sufficient to pay the costs and expenses of collection or of otherwise enforcing any of such Holder’s rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees to the extent required pursuant to Section 15.

(b)All obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 2.3 shall survive the transfer of any Note, and any obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 2.3 with respect to which the underlying obligation of the Company is expressly stated to survive payment of any Note shall also survive payment of such Note.

(c)The obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 2.3 constitute a present and continuing guaranty of payment and not collectability and are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations), it being the intent of this Section 2.3 that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(i) any amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or any assignment or transfer thereof, including without limitation the renewal or extension of the time of payment of any of the Notes or the granting of time in respect of such payment thereof, or of any furnishing or acceptance of security or any

additional guarantee or any release of any security or guarantee so furnished or accepted for any of the Notes;

(ii)any waiver, consent, extension, granting of time, forbearance, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement, or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy or power in respect hereof or thereof;

(iii)any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceedings with respect to the Company or any other Person or the properties or creditors of any of them;

(iv) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under, or any invalidity or any unenforceability of, or any misrepresentation, irregularity or other defect in, this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement;

(v) any transfer of any assets to or from the Company, including without limitation any transfer or purported transfer to the Company from any Person, any invalidity, illegality of, or inability to enforce, any such transfer or purported transfer, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any Person, any change in the ownership of any Equity Interests of the Company, or any change whatsoever in the objects, capital structure, constitution or business of the Company;

(vi) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, on the part of the Company or any other Person to perform or comply with, or the impossibility or illegality of performance by the Company or any other Person of, any term of this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement;

(vii) any suit or other action brought by, or any judgment in favor of, any beneficiaries or creditors of, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation any suit or action in any way attacking or involving any issue, matter or thing in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement;

(viii)any lack or limitation of status or of power, incapacity or disability of the Company or any trustee or agent thereof; or

(ix) any other thing, event, happening, matter, circumstance or condition whatsoever, not in any way limited to the foregoing.

(d)The Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever and any requirement that any Holder exhaust any right, power or remedy against the Company under this Agreement or the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(e)In the event that the Guarantor shall at any time pay any amount on account of the Guaranteed Obligations or take any other action in performance of its

obligations hereunder, the Guarantor shall not exercise any subrogation or other rights hereunder or under the Notes and the Guarantor hereby waives all rights it may have to exercise any such subrogation or other rights, and all other remedies that it may have against the Company, in respect of any payment made hereunder unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights or other remedy prior to the indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, notwithstanding the waiver thereof, such amount shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and shall forthwith be paid to such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. The Guarantor agrees that its obligations under this Section 2.3 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment (including payment in full) by or on behalf of the Company is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any Holder, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid.

(f) If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall at any time have occurred and be continuing and such acceleration (and the effect thereof on the Guaranteed Obligations) shall at such time be prevented by reason of the pendency against the Company or any other Person of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, the Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of the guarantee in this Section 2.3 and the Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement and the Parent Guarantee, the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to have been accelerated (with a corresponding effect on the Guaranteed Obligations) with the same effect as if the Holders had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Guarantor shall forthwith pay such principal amount, any interest thereon, any Make-Whole Amounts and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder without further notice or demand.

(g) The guarantee in this Section 2.3 is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. Each default in the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate claim and cause of action hereunder, and separate claims or suits may be made and brought, as the case may be, hereunder as each such default occurs. The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 2.3 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the any Holder of any Notes, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

(h) Each Note shall have endorsed thereon a Parent Guarantee of the Guarantor as set forth below:

“For value received, the undersigned hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the holder of the foregoing Note the due and punctual payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on said Note, as more fully provided in the Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement referred to in said Note.

Installment payments of principal of each Note shall be due and made, at par and without payment of the Make-Whole Amount, or any premium, on each Repayment Date in accordance with the amortization schedule attached hereto as Schedule 8.1, and interest on each Note shall be paid commencing on December 31, 2015 in accordance with the terms of the Notes; provided, that upon any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.5, the principal amount of each installment of the Notes becoming due under this Section 8.1 on and after the date of such prepayment shall be reduced in the same proportion as the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes is reduced as a result of such prepayment. As provided therein, each Note shall mature and all remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on the stated maturity date thereof.

Section 8.2 Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay on any Repayment Date all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, or if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment, and, if such prepayment occurs on or prior to the date that is three (3) months prior to the Final Maturity Date, the Make‑Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than ten (10) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment (unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period). Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Repayment Date), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two (2) Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes an Officer’s Certificate specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.3 Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated pro rata among the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Notes not theretofore called for prepayment.

Section 8.4 Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each optional prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Article 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make‑Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

(7)that holders electing to have any Notes purchased in full (to the extent cash is available therefor) pursuant to an Offer to Prepay will be required to surrender such Notes within ten (10) Business Days after purchase; and

The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by any Obligor or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.7 Make-Whole Amount. The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal; provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date; provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.8 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) subject to clause (b) of this Section, any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day, and (b) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on any scheduled repayment date or the maturity date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

ARTICLE 17

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

Section 17.1 Requirements. This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Obligors and the Required Holders, except that

(a)no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Article 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing,

(b)no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding, (i) subject to the provisions of Article 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest on the Notes or of the Make-Whole Amount in respect of the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver, (iii) amend any of Article 8 (except as set forth in the second sentence of Section 8.2 ), 11, 12, 17 (except as set forth in Section 17.1(c)) or 20 or (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of the Security Documents or the Guarantor from its obligations in respect of the Parent Guarantee.

(c)Section 8.6 may be amended or waived to permit offers to purchase made by the Obligors or an Affiliate of the Obligors pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions only with the written consent of the Obligors and the Super-Majority Holders.

Section 17.2 Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a)Solicitation. The Obligors will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Financing Documents. The Obligors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Article 17 to each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b)Payment. No Obligor will directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of any Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or any other Financing Document unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided,

on the same terms, ratably to the holders of each Note then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c)Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent given pursuant to this Article 17 by a holder of a Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company (either pursuant to a waiver under Section 17.1(c) or subsequent to Section 8.6 having been amended pursuant to Section 17.1(c)) in connection with such consent shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

Section 17.3 Binding Effect, Etc.

Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Financing Documents, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Financing Documents to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves, the certificates of Equity Interests in the Company and any other Collateral delivered to the Collateral Agent), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Obligors agree and stipulate that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Article 19 shall not prohibit the Obligors or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

ARTICLE 20

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

For the purposes of this Article 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Obligors in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Obligors; provided that all information provided to the Purchasers on or prior to the Closing Date in the electronic data room for the transactions contemplated hereby shall be considered “Confidential Information” regardless of whether such information has been clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified as confidential; provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior

to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, or (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by an Obligor. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser; provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its affiliates and its and their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Article 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Article 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of an Obligor (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Article 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes and the Financing Documents. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Article 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by an Obligor in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Obligors embodying the provisions of this Article 20. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws, a Purchaser may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal or state income Tax treatment and Tax structure of the Notes and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other Tax analyses) that are provided to the Purchaser related to such Tax treatment and Tax Structure. For this purpose, “Tax Structure” means any facts relevant to the U.S. federal or state income Tax treatment of the Notes but does not include information relating to the identity of the Obligors.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Obligors in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through a secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Article 20, this Article 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Obligors, this Article 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

ARTICLE 21

SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Article 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Article 21) shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Article 21) shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 22

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 22.1 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

Section 22.2 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (a) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP and (b) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Section 22.3 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 22.4 Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from

taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

Section 22.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

Section 22.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York (exclusive of conflicts of law principles, other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law).

Section 22.7 Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)The parties hereto irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto irrevocably waive and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)The parties hereto consent to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to them at their address specified in Article 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section 18.1. The parties hereto agree that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon them in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to them. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(c)Nothing in this Section 22.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the parties hereto in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(d)The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please sign the form of agreement on a counterpart of this Agreement and return it to the Company, whereupon this Agreement shall become a binding agreement between you and the Obligors.

The Company shall, without cost to the Secured Parties, maintain or cause to be maintained on its behalf in effect at all times on and after the Closing Date the types of insurance required by the following provisions together with any other types of insurance required hereunder or pursuant to the Material Project Documents, in such form acceptable to the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Secured Parties, with insurance companies Financial Strength ratings of “A-” or better, with a minimum Financial Size rating of “X” by Best’s Insurance Guide and Key Ratings (or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized insurance rating agency of similar standing if Best’s Insurance Guide and Key Ratings shall no longer be published) or other companies reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Secured Parties).

(a) All-Risk Property / Machinery Breakdown. “All-Risk” property, as such term is used in the insurance industry, in an amount of not less than the full replacement cost value of the Project or a loss limit for the Project which is acceptable to the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) when coverage for the Project is included under an all-risk property insurance program that insures other assets unrelated to the Company or Project. Such all-risk property coverage shall include coverage for mechanical and electrical breakdown plus resulting or ensuing damage arising out of the consequence of defect in the design, material or workmanship of Project property and equipment, the perils of flood, earth movement (including earthquake), windstorm (named or unnamed), hail, lightning, strike, riot and civil commotion, sabotage, vandalism and malicious mischief, subject to terms that are consistent with current industry practice, insuring all real and personal property of the Company whether at a fixed (including non-owned location for off-site repair or refurbishment), off-site storage or a warehouse location or while in the course of inland transit, for an amount of not less than the full replacement cost value of such property and equipment at each off-site location and that is sufficient to comply with the insurance requirements, if any, of all Material Project Documents. All responsibility for verification of compliance with the Material Project Documents shall rest solely with the Company.

Sublimits are permitted with respect to the following perils/extensions:

(i) off-Site property, to the extent exposures exist, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost values of property in storage;

(ii) inland transit in such amounts to satisfy the full replacement cost values of any shipment;

(iii) earth movement (including earthquake), full policy limits per occurrence and in the annual aggregate with respect to the Project (subject to the approval of the Collateral Agent as further noted in Section 1.2(o) of this Schedule 9.2 when aggregates are shared), or such other amount required by the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Secured Parties;

(iv) flood, full policy limits per occurrence and in the annual aggregate with respect to the Project for all flood zones (subject to the approval of the Collateral Agent as further noted in Section 1.2(o) of this Schedule 9.2 when aggregates are shared), or such other amount required by the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Secured Parties;

Schedule 9.2 - 1

(v) windstorm (named and unnamed), full policy limits per occurrence and in the annual aggregate with respect to the Project (subject to the approval of the Collateral Agent as further noted in Section 1.2(o) of this Schedule 9.2 when aggregates are shared), or such other amount required or agreed by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties. For purposes of this section, “named windstorm” shall be restricted to hurricanes, tropical storms, cyclones or typhoons and shall not include, and therefore shall provide full policy limits for damage caused by all other wind events including tornadoes, major thunderstorms and other severe weather; and

(vi) such other coverages that are customarily sub-limited and/or aggregated or restricted in reasonable amounts consistent with current industry practice with respect to similar risks and are acceptable to the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Secured Parties), including without limitation, extra expense, expediting expense and ordinance or law coverage including the increased cost of construction to comply with the enforcement of any ordinance or law that regulates the construction or repair of damaged property including the cost to demolish undamaged portions of the Project, debris removal, pollutant cleanup, professional fees and costs to lease temporary equipment.

Such policy shall include: (a) an automatic reinstatement of limits following each loss (except for the perils of earth movement (including earthquake), pollution cleanup, flood and named windstorm unless otherwise agreed by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties, (b) a replacement cost valuation endorsement with no deduction for depreciation and no coinsurance clauses (or a waiver thereof), (c) mechanical and electrical breakdown insurance including coverage for resulting damage with respect to consequence of design, workmanship or material defect on a replacement cost basis with limits acceptable to the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) and (d) coverage for physical damage that is not covered by warranty or guaranty to the extent normally insured.

All such policies may have per occurrence deductibles of not greater than $250,000 for all perils, except the lowest deductible commercially available and reasonably priced but in no event more than five (5) percent of the value of Project property suffering damage at the time of loss for earth movement (including earthquake) subject to a maximum of $5,000,000 or such other deductibles approved by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

(b) Business Interruption Insurance. The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained, with respect to the Project, business interruption insurance following all perils required and insured above under Section 1.1(a) above, including mechanical or electrical breakdown and inland transit perils, with limits of not less than the projected equivalent of twelve (12) months gross revenues (including all revenues derived from any environmental attribute of the Project, including without limitation, any renewable energy credit that is owned or sold by the Company), less non-continuing expenses. If coverage is subject to an indemnification period, such period shall not be less than twelve (12) months. Contingent business interruption shall also be included with a limit and on terms and conditions acceptable to the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties to the extent such coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms. This coverage shall not include any annual or term aggregate limits of liability or clause requiring the payment of additional premium to reinstate the limits after loss, except with regard to insurance applicable to the perils of flood, earth movement (including earthquake) and windstorm and such other coverages that may typically be aggregated under Section 1.1(a)(vi) above. The deductible or waiting period shall not exceed forty-five (45) days on a per occurrence basis.

Deductibles and/or self-insured retentions in excess of $50,000 shall be subject to review and approval by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

(d) Automobile Liability Insurance. Automobile liability insurance covering the Company, including coverage for owned, leased, non-owned and hired automobiles for both bodily injury and property damage in accordance with statutory legal requirements, with combined single limits of no less than $1,000,000 per accident with respect to bodily injury, property damage or death. To the extent that the Company does not own any automobiles, contingent liability for hired, leased and non-owned automobiles may be obtained through endorsement to the general liability policy required in Section 1.1(c) above. Deductibles and/or self-insured retentions in excess of $25,000 shall be subject to review and approval by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

(e) Workers' Compensation/Employers Liability Insurance. Workers' compensation insurance for all states in accordance with statutory and /or provincial requirements at any time in which the Company has employees, including coverage for employer's liability with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 and such other forms of insurance which the Company is required by law to provide for loss resulting from injury, sickness, disability or death of each of their employees. Deductibles and/or self-insured retentions in excess of $50,000 shall be subject to review and approval by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

Such coverages shall be on an occurrence form or AEGIS claims-first-made excess liability policy form and over and above coverage provided by the policies described in Sections 1.1(c), (d) and (e) with respect to employer's liability. If the policy or policies provided under this Section 1.1(f) contain(s) aggregate limits, and such limits are diminished below $15,000,000 during the applicable policy term by any one or more incident, occurrence, claim, settlement or judgment against such insurance which has caused the insurer to establish a reserve, the Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such event, inform the Collateral Agent in writing of such reduction (with a copy to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent) and the events giving rise thereto, and within thirty (30) Business Days purchase an additional umbrella/excess liability insurance policy satisfying the requirements of this Section 1.1(f).

(g) Pollution Liability Insurance. Pollution liability insurance with a limit commensurate with industry practice for similar operations but not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate for property damage and bodily injury to third parties arising out of "sudden and accidental" pollution conditions as a result of Project operations. All such coverages can be included in the commercial general liability and umbrella or excess liability policies or provided under a separate pollution liability policy. Claims made coverage forms are acceptable. Deductibles in excess of $50,000 shall be subject to review and approval by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

Schedule 9.2 - 3

(h) Contractors and Subcontractors. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require the operator and other contractors or subcontractors with which it has a direct contractual relationship, if any, that will be performing operations and maintenance or other on- site work on its behalf (as applicable), to obtain and maintain the basic "types" of insurance required in Sections 1.1(c), (d) and (e) above in amounts that are customary for contractors and subcontractors performing similar work and operations.

Section 1.2	Special Insurance Provisions.

(a) Holder Loss Payable Endorsement. All property related policies of insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Sections 1.1(a), (b) and (c) of this Schedule 9.2, shall name Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, its successors and/or assigns, in its capacity as the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as the "sole" loss payee for all losses insured thereunder, pursuant to a 438 BFU lender loss payable endorsement, its equivalent or other lender loss payable form approved by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

(b) Non-Vitiation. All property related policies of insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Sections 1.1(a) and (b) of this Schedule 9.2 shall insure the interests of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties regardless of any breach or violation by the Company, any of its Affiliates or others acting on their behalf of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policies, any action or inaction, or any foreclosure relating to the Project or any change in ownership of all or any portion of the Project (the foregoing may be accomplished by the use of an approved lender loss payable endorsement required in Section 1.2(a) above, acceptable mortgagee clause or multiple insureds clause).

(c) Additional Insured & Waiver of Subrogation. All polices of insurance required in Sections 1.1 (a) through (g) and (i) through (j) above that are maintained by the Company or on behalf of the Company shall name the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and each of their successors or assigns as additional insureds (with the exception of workers' compensation) and provide a waiver of subrogation in their favor.

(d) Severability of Interest, Primary and Non-Contributory. All liability policies required in Sections 1.1 (c) through (g) above that are maintained by the Company or on behalf of the Company shall expressly provide that all provisions thereof, except the limits of liability (which shall be applicable to all insureds as a group) shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each such insured. All policies required in this Schedule 9.2 shall acknowledge that liability for premiums shall be the sole liability of the Company and be considered primary and non-contributory with any other policies the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties may hold;

Schedule 9.2 - 4

(e) Notice of Cancellation. All polices of insurance required in Section 1.1 of this Schedule 9.2 shall provide thirty (30) days’ written notice of cancellation to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties (with a copy to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent), with the exception of ten (10) days’ notice for nonpayment of premium, to the extent commercially available. To the extent endorsement of the required policies to provide such written notice of cancellation to the Collateral Agent (with a copy to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent) is not commercially available the Company shall be obligated to provide written notice of cancellation to the Collateral Agent with a copy to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent. The Company shall provide prompt notice of material change in policy conditions to the Collateral Agent with a copy to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent. For purposes of this section, material change is considered to be any modification or reduction in coverage that would cause the Company’s insurance policies to be out of compliance with this Schedule 9.2.

(f) Claims-Made Forms. If any liability insurance required under the provisions of this Schedule 9.2 is permitted to be written on a "claims made" basis, then such insurance shall include (i) a retroactive date (as such term is specified in each of such policies) that is no later than the Closing Date; and (ii) each time any policy written on a "claims made" basis is not renewed or the retroactive date of such policy is to be changed, the Company shall obtain or shall cause to be obtained for each such policy or policies the broadest extended reporting period coverage, or "tail", reasonably available in the commercial insurance market for each such policy or policies. In the alternative, the Company can meet the requirements of this Section 1.2(f) by obtaining "prior acts" coverage from a subsequent insurance carrier.

(g) Loss Notification. Company shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after Company obtains actual knowledge thereof, notify the Collateral Agent in writing (with a copy to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent) of any single loss or event likely to give rise to a property or liability insurance claim in an amount in excess of $3,000,000 whether or not covered by insurance.

(h) Loss Adjustment and Settlement. Any loss insured by the inland transit, operational physical damage, machinery damage or business interruption or other first party insurance policies or coverages shall be adjusted with the respective insurance companies, including the filing in a timely manner of appropriate proceedings, by the Company, at the direction of the Required Secured Parties, if such loss is in excess of $3,000,000. In addition, the Company may, in its reasonable judgment, consent to the settlement of any loss, provided that in the event that the amount of the loss exceeds $3,000,000 the terms of such settlement are agreed in writing by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

(i) Acceptable Policy Terms and Conditions. All policies of insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Schedule 9.2 shall contain terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

(j) Draft Insurance Policy Review. To the extent that the Company furnishes the Insurance Consultant with draft copies of the policies of insurance it intends to procure for the physical damage and business interruption insurance including the identities of the insurer(s) and insured amounts with the deductibles, all of which the Insurance Consultant has approved, the Company warrants that the insurance policies procured by the Company for the physical damage and business interruption insurance shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, be the same in all material respects as the policies previously approved by the Insurance Consultant (except that changes may be made when coverage is provided under a master insurance program that insures other projects and assets not related to the Company, to the extent such changes do not adversely affect the coverages provided to the Company or cause the Company to be out of compliance with the requirements of this Schedule 9.2).

Schedule 9.2 - 5

(k) Officer’s Certificate and Notice of Non-Payment of Premiums. Concurrently with the furnishing of the certification referred to in Section 1.4, the Company shall furnish the Collateral Agent (with a copy to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent) an officer’s certificate of the Company stating that the insurance then maintained by or on behalf of the Company complies in all material respects with the insurance requirements in this Schedule 9.2.. In addition, the Company shall advise the Collateral Agent in writing (with a copy to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent) promptly of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the Company or its Affiliates that may invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance being maintained by the Company pursuant to this Schedule 9.2.

(l) Failure to Maintain Insurance. In the event the Company fails to take out or maintain the full insurance coverage required by this Schedule 9.2, the Collateral Agent may, at the direction of the Required Secured Parties (but shall not be obligated to), upon thirty (30) days' prior notice (unless the aforementioned insurance would lapse within such period, in which event notice should be given as soon as reasonably possible) to Company of any such failure, take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same. All amounts so advanced by Collateral Agent shall become an additional Obligation of Company to the Collateral Agent, and the Company shall forthwith pay such amounts to the Collateral Agent together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date so advanced.

(m) Failure to Collect. In the event that the Company fails to respond in a timely and appropriate manner (as reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) to take any steps necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to collect from any insurers for any loss covered by any insurance required to be maintained by this Schedule 9.2, the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) shall have the right to make all proofs of loss, negotiate all claims and/or receive all or any part of the proceeds of the foregoing insurance policies, either in its own name or the name of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall, upon the Collateral Agent's request (at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) and at the Company's own cost and expense, make all proofs of loss and take all other steps necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) to collect from insurers for any loss covered by any insurance required to be obtained by this Schedule 9.2.

(n) [Reserved]

(o) Stand Alone Basis. The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained the property insurance required herein with policies that are specific to the Company’s operations and the Project and are not shared with other assets unrelated to the Project. To the extent the Company wishes to maintain property insurance for the Project under policies that insure other assets or operations not related to it or the Project and that do not contain limits that are specific to the Project and are therefore shared with other assets insured thereunder, the Company shall provide a written request to the Collateral Agent (with a copy to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent) not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of any such of combined coverage. Approval of any such request shall be subject to further review and approval by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties, which shall be supported by additional information, reasonably requested of the Company by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) and may be conditioned upon increases in policy limits and/or changes to policy terms and conditions. To the extent an approved shared aggregate limit (or limits) is reduced below ninety (90) percent of the probable maximum loss (or PML) by insured claims for damage to the Project or any other insured assets covered by a shared aggregate limit (or limits), such shared aggregate limit (or limits) shall be reinstated to the full amount required or topped up through the purchase of additional excess aggregate limits.

Schedule 9.2 - 6


Section 1.3	[Reserved].

Section 1.4 Certification of Compliance. The Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent (with a copy to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent), within ten (10) days after each annual policy renewal date for each policy, (1) certificates of insurance or binders, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties, evidencing all of the insurance required by the provisions of this Schedule 9.2 and Section 9.2 of this Agreement. Such certificates of insurance/binders shall be executed by each insurer or by an authorized representative of each insurer where it is not practical for such insurer to execute the certificate itself. Such certificates of insurance/binders shall identify underwriters, the type of insurance, the insurance limits and the policy term and shall specifically list the special provisions enumerated for such insurance required by this Schedule 9.2. Upon reasonable request, Company will promptly furnish the Collateral Agent with copies of all insurance policies (except in the case of corporate insurance programs where redacted versions removing confidential information that does not pertain to the Company or the Project shall be acceptable), binders and cover notes or other evidence of such insurance relating to the insurance required to be maintained by the Company, with copies to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent. Any schedules of insurance that are provided by or on behalf of the Company shall include the name of the insurance company, policy number, type of insurance, major limits of liability, expiration date of the insurance policies and summary of key policy terms, conditions and exclusions.

Section 1.5 No Duty to Verify Insurance Compliance. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled (at its own cost and expense so long as no event of default then exists), upon reasonable advance notice, to review the Company’s (or other appropriate party’s) books and records regarding all insurance policies maintained with respect to the Project and the Company’s obligations under this Schedule 9.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Schedule 9.2 or any other provision of this Agreement shall impose on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance coverage maintained by the Company, nor shall Secured Party be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of the Company, or any other party to any insurance company or underwriter. Any failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to pursue or obtain the evidence of insurance required by this Agreement from the Company or any other party and/or failure of the Collateral Agent to point out any non-compliance of such evidence of insurance shall not constitute a waiver of any of the insurance requirements in this Agreement, including without limitation this Schedule 9.2.

Schedule 9.2 - 7

Section 1.6 Waiver of Insurance Requirements. If at any time the Collateral Agent determines in its reasonable judgment (at the direction of the Required Secured Parties and after consultation with the Insurance Consultant) that any insurance (including the limits or deductibles thereof) required to be maintained by this Schedule 9.2 is not available on commercially reasonable terms due to prevailing conditions in the commercial insurance market at such time, then upon the written request of the Company together with a written report of the Company's insurance broker or another independent insurance broker of nationally-recognized standing in the insurance industry (i) certifying that such insurance is not available on commercially reasonable terms (and, in any case where the required maximum coverage is not reasonably available, certifying as to the maximum amount which is so available), (ii) explaining in detail the basis for such broker's conclusions, and (iii) containing such other information as the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties may reasonably request, the Collateral Agent may (at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) temporarily waive such requirement; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent may, in its sole judgment, decline to waive any such insurance requirement unless the consent of the Required Secured Parties is first obtained. At any time after the granting of any temporary waiver pursuant to this Section 1.6, but not more than once in any year, the Collateral Agent may request, and the Company shall furnish to the Collateral Agent (with a copy to each holder of Notes and the LC Facility Administrative Agent) within thirty (30) days after such request, an updated insurance report reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Secured Parties and the Insurance Consultant from the Company's independent insurance broker. Any waiver granted pursuant to this Schedule 9.2 shall expire, without further action by any party, immediately upon (A) such waived insurance requirement becoming available on commercially reasonable terms, as reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) or (B) failure of the Company to deliver an updated insurance report pursuant to clause (ii) above.
