THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, it is contemplated that a certain dollar amount will be paid to PHUS (the "Settlement Amount");

Operate the Mesa Project as a wind energy operation in the ordinary course of business, in accordance with the exercise of that degree of skill, care, prudence (operational and financial), foresight and operating practice which would reasonably and ordinarily be expected from operators of facilities (not being owned and operated by Government Agencies) similar to the facilities of the Company's business with the asset and operating conditions being consistent with those of the Company's business; provided, however, that the Company shall be allowed to negotiate and sign a new power purchase agreement and/or interconnection agreement with an unrelated third party on terms equal to or better than current terms in effect for the Mesa Project;
(ii)
Take no actions and make no transfers that foreseeably would result in material damage to or reduction of the Company's combined business;

(iv)
Not grant or permit any liens, security interests, or encumbrances over any portion of the Mesa Project;

Not grant or enter into any stock warrants, stock options, or other agreements to sell or encumber any portion of the Mesa Shares;

(viii)
Not fail to provide the monthly operating reports required by Section 14.2(c) of the Settlement Agreement, nor fail to require and obtain monthly operations and maintenance reports from the Mesa Project operations and maintenance manager, which are referenced in Schedule N; and that,
(ix)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with efforts to raise or generate funds intended to be used to pay the Settlement Amount, the Company nonetheless may arrange to take any of the actions and enter into any of the transactions or commitments that would otherwise be barred by paragraphs (iii) through (vi) above, provided that the prohibited actions or transactions may not be performed or consummated unless they are part of a transaction or series of transactions that is/are closed and funded through an escrow handled by the Transaction Agent and can only close upon the payment to PHUS of the Settlement Amount, which shall be delivered to PHUS free and clear of any liens, security interests, or
RESOLVED, FURTHER that the officers of the Company, and each one of them separately and any of them together, is/are hereby authorized in the name and on behalf of the Company to execute and deliver: (i) the Settlement Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (ii) any and all Ancillary Documents in such farm and upon such terms as such officer deems advisable, necessary or appropriate in connection with any of the foregoing, in such form and upon such terms, and with such additions or modifications as such officer deems necessary, the approval of such terms, additions and modifications to be conclusively evidenced by the officer's execution thereof, which execution shall be conclusive evidence that the same shall have been authorized and approved by the Company in all respects.

shall be conclusive evidence that such action has been authorized and approved by the Company in all respects.
RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the officers of the Company, each one of them separately and any of them together, is/are hereby instructed that, they shall notify any person with whom the Company does business, or proposes to do business, of the limitations on their authority set forth in the foregoing resolutions and shall instruct all agents, attorneys and employees of the Company to do the same.
RESOLVED, FURTHER, that nothing in this Resolution shall operate to prevent or impair the right to file for bankruptcy if such action is, in the good faith exercise of reasonable business judgment of the WWE Parties' respective boards of directors or similar governing bodies, deemed to be necessary as a matter of fiduciary responsibilities to creditors other than insiders, as that term is defined in Section 101(31) of Title 11 of the United States Code.
The execution of this Resolution constitutes a written waiver of any notice required by applicable law or the Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws.
This Resolution may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different directors in separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed will be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together will constitute one and the same consent.
