It has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Sponsor Sub concerning (A) the Company, and (B) the Class A Membership Interests, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of Investor.

(xi) Tax Character. The participation of Investor as a Member will not cause any part of the assets of the Company to be characterized as “tax-exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code and will not cause the Company to be an entity to which the provisions of Section 46(f) of the Code, as in effect on the day before the date of the enactment of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1990, applies.

Section 3.12. Other Covenants.

(a) United States Person.

The participation of such Member as a Member will not cause any part of the assets of the Company to be characterized as “tax-exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code and will not cause the Company to be an entity to which the provisions of Section 46(f) of the Code, as in effect on the day before the date of the enactment of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1990, applies.

(c) Sources of Funding for Purchase of Projects. The sole sources of funding for the purchase of the Projects by the Company shall be the Capital Contributions of the Members.

(b) If the Managing Member is so removed pursuant to Section 3.13(a), the Class A Member shall elect a Person to succeed to all the rights, and to perform all of the obligations set forth for the Managing Member hereunder (the “Manager”), subject to the Company and/or the Manager obtaining any necessary prior governmental approvals. The Person selected as the Manager shall (A) be either (i) an entity that, within the preceding six (6) years has owned or operated for a continuous period of at least three (3) years solar photovoltaic systems with an aggregate electricity output of at least 20 megawatts, or (ii) such other entity which is approved by the Class A Member (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (B) not be a direct competitor of the Managing Member (or any of its Affiliates).

A Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by (A) the amount of money distributed to the Member by the Company, (B) the net value of any other property distributed to the Member by the Company (i.e. the fair market value of the property net of liabilities secured by the property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), (C) the Net Loss and items thereof allocated to the Member under Section 5.1, and (D) any items of loss or deduction allocated to the Member. The Members’ Capital Accounts shall be maintained and adjusted as required by the provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.704-1(b)(4), including adjustments to reflect the allocations to the Members of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss as computed for book purposes rather than the allocation of the corresponding items as computed for tax purposes, as required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

(c) The Company’s property shall be revalued, and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be reset to reflect a revaluation as directed by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to the following events: (i) if any new or existing Member makes a more than de minimis Capital Contribution in exchange for new or additional Membership Interests, (ii) if more than a de minimis amount of money or other property is distributed by the Company to a Member to redeem all or any portion of its Membership Interest, or (iii) if the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g).

(d) For federal income tax purposes, each of the initial Members will be treated as acquiring an interest in a new partnership in exchange for its initial Capital Contribution on the Effective Date and as each Member makes additional Capital Contributions its Capital Account will increase. The Company will be a disregarded subsidiary of Sponsor for federal income tax purposes prior to receiving the initial Capital Contributions. The initial Capital Account balances and Percentage Interest of each Member on the Effective Date are shown in Schedule 4.2(d).

(e) The Capital Account balances and Percentage Interest of each Member are shown in Schedule 4.2(d). The Managing Member shall update Schedule 4.2(d) from time to time as necessary to keep the information current. Any such updating will be consistent with the manner in which this ARTICLE IV requires that the Capital Accounts be maintained. Any reference in this Agreement to Schedule 4.2(d) will be treated as a reference to Schedule 4.2(d) as amended and in effect from time to time.

(f) If all or a portion of a Membership Interest in the Company is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the Membership Interest so transferred.

(g) The provisions of this Agreement relating to maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1 and 1-704-2, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations or any successor provision.

Section 4.3. Member Loans.

(a) If the Company does not have sufficient cash to pay its obligations (a “Cashflow Shortfall”) and the Managing Member determines in its reasonable discretion to request a Member Loan under this Section 4.3, the Managing Member shall give each Member notice (a “Shortfall Notice”) of such Cashflow Shortfall not later than thirty (30) days prior to the date such funds are needed (the “Shortfall Funding Date”). Each Member shall have twenty (20) days after receipt of a Shortfall Notice to notify the Manager that it wishes to participate in loans to the Company in connection with any Cashflow Shortfall, and each such notice from a Member shall include the amount such Member wishes to provide. In the event that more than one Member elects to participate in loans to the Company under this Section 4.3, such Members shall be allowed to participate ratably in proportion to the Sharing Percentage of all such participating Members. Member Loans by Members described in this Section 4.3 shall be repaid on each Distribution Date solely out of Distributable Cash that would otherwise be distributed to

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

Members after any distributions required to be made pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or Section 6.1(a)(i)(A) are made, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amount each such Member participates in such Member Loans. Each Member Loan shall be pari passu with all other Member Loans pursuant to this Section 4.3, and no Member shall have the right to accelerate the repayment of such loan.

(b) Any Member Loan made by any Member pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the Target Internal Rate of Return or (ii) the Reference Rate plus two percent (2%), unless a lower rate of interest is otherwise agreed to by any such Member in its sole discretion. Interest on each Member Loan pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall accrue and, if not paid in accordance with this Section 4.3, be compounded to the principal amount thereof on each Distribution Date.

(c) A Member Loan made by any Member pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be evidenced by a note substantially in the form of Exhibit D. The Company shall, and the Managing Member shall cause the Company to, apply in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3 all amounts of Distributable Cash to the payment of principal of all outstanding Member Loans (together with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due in respect thereof) made pursuant to this Section 4.3 and, unless and until the outstanding principal amount of all such Member Loans together with all interest thereon and all other amounts due in respect thereof is repaid in full, there shall be no distributions to the Members under this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE VI or otherwise, except in each case distributions required to be made pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or Section 6.1(a)(i)(A).

(f) Each Member Loan by any Member pursuant to this Section 4.3 constitutes a loan from such Member to the Company and is not a Capital Contribution.

ARTICLE V

ALLOCATIONS

Section 5.1. Allocations.

Except as provided in Section 5.2 or Section 10.2, Net Income and Net Loss, and each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company for each Fiscal Year or any other period, shall be allocated among the Members as follows:

(a) During the Pre-Flip Period, ***% to the Class A Members and ***% to the Class B Members; and

(b) for the period beginning after the Flip Date,

(i) first, to the Class A Members, Net Income or items of income or gain in an amount equal to the amount distributed, or to be distributed, to such Members pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(ii)(A) for such Fiscal Year or other period; and

(ii) second, of the remaining Net Income, Net Loss, and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, ***% to the Class A Members and ***% to the Class B Members.

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

If there is more than one Class A Member or Class B Member, allocations to the Class A Members or the Class B Members, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be shared among the Class A Members or the Class B Members, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. Each Member’s Percentage Interest multiplied by its percentage allocation applicable to such Member under subparagraphs (a) and (b)(ii) of this Section 5.1 as in effect at any time and from time to time shall be referred to as that Member’s “Sharing Percentage.”

Section 5.2. Adjustments.

The following adjustments shall be made in the allocations in Section 5.1 to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and Section 1.704-2:

(a) In any Fiscal Year in which there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, income and gain in the amount of the net decrease shall be allocated to Members in the ratio required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2 or any successor provision. This clause is intended to constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” as provided by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and this clause will be construed accordingly.

(b) In any Fiscal Year in which there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt, then income or gain in the amount of the net decrease shall be allocated to each Member who was considered to have had a share of such Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt at the beginning of the Fiscal Year in the ratio required by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii) or any successor provisions. This clause is intended to constitute a “chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” as provided by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and this clause will be construed accordingly.

(c) Each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance for purposes of making other allocations under this ARTICLE V will be the balance after taking into account the allocations under Sections 5.2(a) and (b).

(d) No losses or deductions may be allocated to a Member to the extent the allocation would lead or add to a deficit in the Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. Losses or deductions that cannot be allocated to a Member by reason of this Section 5.2(d) shall be allocated to the other Members in proportion to their Sharing Percentages, subject to the limitation in the preceding sentence.

(e) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

(5) or (6), items of gross income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, any deficit in the Member’s Adjusted Capital Account as quickly as possible. However, an allocation shall be made under this Section 5.2(e) only if and to the extent that the Member would have a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.2(e) were not in this Agreement. This clause is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” as provided by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and this clause will be construed accordingly.

(f) In the event that any Member has a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year or other period after all the other allocations in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 (other than Section 5.2(e)) have been taken into account, then the Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain as quickly as possible to eliminate the deficit to the extent permitted under Section 471 of the Code.

(g) Member Nonrecourse Deductions will be allocated in the manner specified in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1). Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Members in the same ratio as other partnership items under Section 5.1 or Section 10.2(c) and Section 10.2(d), as applicable.

(h) If the Company distributes property to a Member in liquidation of the Membership Interest of the Member and there is an adjustment in the adjusted tax basis of Company property under Section 734(b) of the Code, there shall be a corresponding adjustment to the Capital Account of the Member receiving the distribution. If the Company distributes cash to a Member in excess of its outside basis in its Membership Interest, leading to an adjustment in the inside basis of the Company property under Section 743(b) of the Code, solely for purposes of adjusting Capital Accounts of the Members, the adjustment in the inside basis shall be treated as gain or loss and be allocated among the Members in the same ratio as other gain or loss for the Fiscal Year in which the adjustment occurs. This provision is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) and (4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(i) The allocations in this Section 5.2 are intended to comply with the Treasury Regulations. To the extent the Company can do so consistently with the Treasury Regulations, such allocations (including those likely to occur in the future) shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocation of other items and the allocations pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be equal to the net amount of the allocations under this ARTICLE V and Section 10.2 to each Member that would have been made if this Agreement did not have clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 5.2.

Section 5.3. Tax Allocations.

(a) All tax items of Company income, gain, deduction, loss and credit for each Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated in the same proportions as Net Income and Net Loss for such Fiscal Year were allocated under Section 5.1 and Section 5.2.

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(a), if, as a result of contributions of property by a Member to the Company or an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of Company assets pursuant to this Agreement, there is a difference between the adjusted basis of an item of Company property for federal income tax purposes and as determined under the definition of Gross Asset Value, allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made among the Members so as to take into account the difference using the traditional method described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

(c) Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account.

(d) To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset is made pursuant to Section 743(b) of the Code as the result of a purchase of a Membership Interest in the Company, any adjustment to the depreciation, amortization, gain or loss resulting from such adjustment shall affect the transferee only and shall not affect the Capital Account of the transferor or transferee. In such case, the transferee shall be required to provide to the Company (i) information about the allocation of any step-up or step-down in basis to the Company’s assets and (ii) the depreciation or amortization method for any step-up in basis to the Company’s assets.

(e) The Members are aware of the tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 5.3 and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.3 in reporting their shares of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit.

Section 5.4. Transfer or Change in Membership Interest.

If the respective Membership Interests or allocation ratios described in this ARTICLE V of the existing Members in the Company change or if a Membership Interest is Transferred in compliance with this Agreement to any other Person, then, for the Fiscal Year or other period in which the change or Transfer occurs, Net Income and Net Loss shall be allocated, as between the Members for the Fiscal Year in which the change occurs or between the transferor and transferee, by taking into account their varying interests using any method permitted by Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations (such as an interim-closing-of-the-books or a proration method) as agreed to by the Members.

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 6.1. Distributions.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(b), this ARTICLE VI or Section 10.2, Distributable Cash shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

(i) for each Distribution Date during the Pre-Flip Period,

(A) First, *** immediately preceding such Distribution Date, plus any *** for any prior Distribution Date; and

(B) Second, ***% of the remainder to the Class A Members, and ***% of the remainder to the Class B Members; and

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

(ii) for each Distribution Date thereafter,

(A) First, *** immediately preceding such Distribution Date, plus any *** for any prior Distribution Date; and

(B) Second, ***% of the remainder to Class A Members, and ***% of the remainder to Class B Members.

(b) Distributions pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be made by the Managing Member on each Distribution Date, unless otherwise indicated.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.1(a), any indemnity or similar payments for a Tax Loss paid to the Company pursuant to the Master EPC Agreement or otherwise received by the Company that compensate the Company for (or otherwise substitute for) Tax Credits, deductions or losses that would have been allocated pursuant to Section 5.1(a) shall be distributed ***% to the Class A Members and ***% to the Class B Members within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such payments by the Company.

Section 6.2. Withholding Taxes.

(a) If the Company is required to withhold Taxes with respect to any allocation or distribution to any Member pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local Tax laws, the Company may, after first notifying the Member and permitting the Member, if legally permitted, to contest the applicability of such Taxes, withhold such amounts and make such payments to Taxing authorities as are necessary to ensure compliance with such Tax laws. Any funds withheld by reason of this Section 6.2 will nonetheless be deemed distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Company did not withhold from actual distributions any amounts it was required to withhold, the Company may, at its option, (i) require the Member to which the withholding was credited to reimburse the Company for such withholding, or (ii) reduce any subsequent distributions to that Member by the amount of such withholding. This obligation of a Member to reimburse the Company for Taxes that were required to be withheld shall continue after such Member Transfers its Membership Interests in the Company. Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations and forms as will reasonably be requested by the Company to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have.

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

Section 6.3. Limitations upon Distributions.

No distribution shall be made if such distribution would violate any contract or agreement to which the Company is then a party or any Applicable Law then applicable to the Company.

Section 6.4. No Return of Distributions.

Any distribution of cash or property pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a compromise within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act (subject to the adjustments provided in Section 6.5(d) and Section 6.5(e)) and, to the full extent permitted by law, any Member receiving the payment of any such money or distribution of any such property will not be required to return any such money or property to any Person, the Company or any creditor of the Company. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to return such money or property, then such obligation will be the obligation of such Member and not of the other Members. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a deficit Capital Account of a Member will not be deemed to be a liability of such Member nor an asset or property of the Company.

Section 6.5. Calculation of Internal Rate of Return.

(a) Tracking Progress. The Managing Member shall track the progress of the Class A Member in reaching the Target Internal Rate of Return and make reports to the Members as contemplated in ARTICLE VII.

(b) Notice of Date. The Managing Member shall notify the Members in writing on or before the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) calendar days before the Calculation Date upon which the Managing Member expects the Class A Member to achieve the Target Internal Rate of Return and (ii) thirty (30) calendar days before making any liquidating distributions in connection with a liquidation of the Company under Section 10.1. The notice shall include the Tracking Model showing the Managing Member’s calculations and, in the case of a notice delivered in connection with a liquidation, the allocations and distributions that the Managing Member proposes to make to the Class A Member under Section 10.2 in light of the calculations.

(c) Calculation Conventions. The Managing Member shall use the following assumptions and conventions to calculate the Internal Rate of Return:

(i) It will assume that each of the Fixed Tax Assumptions is correct, except to the extent a Fixed Tax Assumption is incorrect due to breach of a representation or covenant by Sponsor, any Class B Member, Managing Member or any of their Affiliates in the Transaction Documents. In all other respects, Tax Credits and taxable income and loss of the Company for any taxable period will be calculated based on the amounts actually allocated in accordance with the federal income tax accounting methods and tax elections actually used with respect to such period by the Company in the

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

preparation of its federal income tax reports and returns, or as adjusted on any amended return or as a result of a federal income tax audit of the Company or the Class A Member; provided however, any adverse tax results (including any recapture, loss or disallowance of all or a portion of a Tax Credit) will be ignored for purposes of such calculation if caused by (A) the breach of a representation or covenant by the Class A Member in this Agreement, (B) the Class A Member taking a position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Company Tax Returns unless in the opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel selected by the Class A Member and reasonably acceptable to the Class B Member the position taken by the Class A Member is more likely than not correct, or (C) a Transfer by the Class A Member of all or a portion of its Membership Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the calculation of Tax Credits and taxable income and loss will not take into account Section 199 of the Code.

(ii) Each Class A Member will be assumed to have owned its Membership Interest since the Effective Date.

(iii) The taxable income and loss of the Company will be treated as earned ratably during the Fiscal Year or other period with the result that the Taxes on such income, gain or benefit from the losses allocated to the Class A Members will be treated as having been paid or received in four equal installments on the respective estimated tax payment dates for a December 31 corporate taxpayer during the Fiscal Year or other period, except that Tax Credits for placing in service any Projects during a Fiscal Year or other period will be treated as earned on the last day of the Quarter in which Tax Credit is actually earned and except that, in the Fiscal Year or other period in which the Flip Date occurs, the taxable income or loss allocated to the Class A Member for the Pre-Flip Period will be allocated ratably to each of the four estimated tax payment dates during the Fiscal Year or other period, and the post-Flip Date amounts will be treated similarly.

(d) End-of-Year True Up. If the federal income Tax Return that the Company files for the Fiscal Year in which the Target Internal Rate of Return is treated as having been achieved suggests that the Target Internal Rate of Return was not achieved in the month the Company assumed for reasons other than inaccuracy of the Fixed Tax Assumptions (unless they are incorrect due to breach of a representation or covenant by Sponsor, any Class B Member, Managing Member or any of their Affiliates in the Transaction Documents) or the calculation assumptions and conventions in Section 6.5(c), then the Managing Member will recalculate when the Target Internal Rate of Return was achieved and send a new notice to the Members that will be subject to the same dispute resolution procedures in Section 11.11(b) as the original notice; provided that a disagreeing Member must notify the Managing Member of its disagreement with the revised calculation within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt. The Managing Member shall also calculate the shortfall in or excess Distributable Cash, in present-value terms using the Target Internal Rate of Return as the discount rate, that the Class A Member received as a consequence of the earlier miscalculation. The shortfall or excess will be grossed up (without duplication for any tax detriment taken into account in calculating when the Target Internal Rate of Return was reached) for income taxes payable thereon assuming an income tax rate equal to the Corporate Tax Rate, calculated by dividing such shortfall or excess

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

by 100% minus such income tax rate (such shortfall or excess increased by the tax gross up, the “Cash Difference”). Once the revised calculation becomes final, the percentages in Section 6.1 will be adjusted to the maximum extent necessary to correct, on a present-value basis calculated at the Target Internal Rate of Return, the Cash Difference. The revised percentages will remain in effect until the Cash Difference has been eliminated.

(e) Curative Flip Allocations. If, after filing the federal income Tax Return for the year in which the Company treated the Target Internal Rate of Return as having been achieved, there is a change in the taxable income or loss or Tax Credits the Company reported for the period through the end of the month in which the Target Internal Rate of Return was assumed to have been achieved for reasons other than inaccuracy of the Fixed Tax Assumptions (unless they are incorrect due to breach of a representation or covenant by Sponsor, any Class B Member, Managing Member or any of their Affiliates in the Transaction Documents) or the calculation assumptions and conventions in Section 6.5(c) and the Company has not yet made liquidating distributions under Section 10.2, then there will be a “Curative Flip Allocation.” The Managing Member will determine the difference between the Target Internal Rate of Return and the Internal Rate of Return the Class A Members actually achieved through the last Distribution Date the Company distributed cash under Section 6.1(a)(i). The sharing percentages in Section 6.1 will be adjusted for subsequent distributions to the maximum extent necessary to increase or decrease (as appropriate) the Class A Members’ Internal Rate of Return to the Target Internal Rate of Return as of such date. Such change in sharing percentages will remain in effect until, and to the extent necessary so that, the difference between the Target Internal Rate of Return and the actual Internal Rate of Return is eliminated. The Internal Rate of Return the Class A Members actually achieved will be calculated using the Fixed Tax Assumptions (unless they are incorrect due to breach of a representation or covenant by Sponsor, any Class B Member, Managing Member or any of their Affiliates in the Transaction Documents) and the calculation assumptions and conventions in Section 6.5(c). If an event occurs that would have triggered a Curative Flip Allocation but for the fact that the Class B Members have already purchased the Membership Interests of the Class A Members under Section 9.4 of this Agreement or but for the fact that the Company has liquidated, then, as appropriate, the Class B Members will pay in cash, within thirty (30) calendar days after such event, the economic equivalent of the Curative Flip Allocation as additional purchase price for the Class A Membership Interests, or the Class A Members will pay in cash, within thirty (30) calendar days after such event, the economic equivalent of the Curative Flip Allocation as a reduction in purchase price for the Class A Membership Interests.

Section 9.8. Indemnity.

(a) The Class B Member agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Investor Indemnified Costs, and the Class A Member agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sponsor Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Sponsor Indemnified Costs; provided, however, that except with respect to Investor Indemnified Costs or Sponsor Indemnified Costs resulting from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or with respect to Taxes, in no event will any Class A Member’s or Class B Member’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed the Maximum Liability.

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

all other Transaction Documents exceeds $***; provided that once such threshold amount of claims has been reached, then the relevant Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall have the right to be indemnified with respect to all such claims, including amounts that were not previously paid because such threshold had not been reached; provided, further, that once such threshold has been reached, no individual claim or claims below $*** may be presented for indemnification, but individual claims that are less than such amount may be aggregated for the purpose of satisfying such threshold, and all claims outstanding at the end of each Fiscal Year may be presented for indemnification without regard to the amount thereof. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall not be duplicative of one another and shall not allow for duplicative recoveries.

(c) An Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party within ten (10) Business Days after it has actual knowledge of commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under this Section 9.8. Such notice shall state the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim and the events and the amounts thereof to the extent known. Any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE IX, except to the extent the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party, so long as the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party that it is liable for such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.8, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such Third Party Claim or such Third Party Claim entails a material risk of criminal penalties or civil fines or non-monetary sanctions being imposed on the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Penalty Claim”), to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, except as otherwise provided herein, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or defending such portion of such Third Party Penalty Claim; provided the parties agree that the handling of any Tax contests involving the Company will be governed by Section 7.7.

(d) In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party advises an Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will not contest a claim for indemnification hereunder, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails, within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such Indemnified Party of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any such Third Party Claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense) or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such Third Party Claim or the action or claim is a Third Party Penalty Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim or Third Party Claim, in each case at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

Party. In any event, unless and until the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent commercially reasonable with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.

(e) If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense unless otherwise specified herein; provided that any such participation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense to the extent such participation relates to a Third Party Penalty Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised at all times as to the status of the defense; provided, however, that the failure to keep the Indemnifying Party so informed shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Except as otherwise provided by Section 9.8(d), the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition any such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.8 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, (i) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof which involves any condition other than payment of money by the Indemnified Party, (ii) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof without first demonstrating to the Indemnified Party the ability to pay such claim or judgment, or (iii) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof that does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party, a full and complete release from all liability in respect of such claim.

(f) If the amount of any Indemnified Costs, at any time after the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under any insurance coverage (excluding any proceeds from self insurance or flow through insurance policies) or under any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other entity, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, must promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party net of any Taxes imposed upon the Indemnified Party in respect of such amounts (but taking into account any Tax benefit the Indemnified Party receives as a result of such payment). Upon making any indemnity payment (other than any indemnity payment relating to Taxes), the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party, except third parties that provide insurance coverage to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, in respect of the Indemnified Costs to which the indemnity payment relates. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims at the direction of the Indemnifying Party. Nothing in this Section 9.8 will be construed to require any Member to obtain or maintain any insurance coverage.

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

(g) For Tax reporting purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each party will agree to treat all amounts paid under any of the provisions of this ARTICLE IX as an adjustment to the Capital Contribution made by Investor in exchange for its Class A Membership Interests or the Capital Contribution made by Sponsor Sub in exchange for its Class B Membership Interests (or otherwise as a non-taxable reimbursement, contribution or return of capital, as the case may be). To the extent any such indemnification payment is includable as income of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates as determined by agreement of the parties or, if there is no agreement, by an opinion of a nationally-recognized Tax counsel reasonably selected by the Indemnified Party that such amount is *** includable as income of the recipient or its Affiliates, the amount of the payment shall be increased by the amount of any federal income Tax required to be paid by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates on the receipt or accrual of the indemnification payment, including, for this purpose, the amount of any such Tax required to be paid by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates on the receipt or accrual of the additional amount required to be added to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.8(g), assuming full taxability at the Corporate Tax Rate. Any payment made under this ARTICLE IX shall be reduced by the present value (as determined on the basis of a discount rate equal to 15% per annum and the same assumptions about taxability and tax rates) of any federal income tax benefit to be realized by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliate by reason of the facts and circumstances giving rise to such indemnification.

Section 9.9. No Duplication.

Any liability for indemnification under this ARTICLE IX shall be determined without duplication of recovery. Without limiting the generality of the prior sentence, if a statement of facts, condition or event constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is subject to the indemnification obligation in Section 9.8 or under another Transaction Document, only one recovery of Indemnified Costs per Indemnified Party shall be allowed.

Section 9.10. Survival.

All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations made or undertaken by a party hereto in any Transaction Document shall survive until the final date for any assertion of claims as forth in Section 9.11, if and as applicable, or as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents.

Section 9.11. Final Date for Assertion of Indemnity Claims.

All claims by an Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX resulting from breaches of representations or warranties in ARTICLE III shall be forever barred unless the other party is notified within twenty-four (24) months after the date such representation or warranty was made; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the

***	Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

representations and warranties in Section 3.11(a)(viii), Section 3.11(b), Section 3.11(c)(x), or Section 3.11(c)(xi) shall survive until six (6) months following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (taking into account any waivers or extensions thereof); provided, further, that if written notice of a claim for indemnification has been given by an Indemnified Party on or prior to the last day of the respective foregoing period, then the obligation of the other party to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved.

Section 9.12. Reasonable Steps to Mitigate.

Each Indemnified Party will take, at the Indemnifying Party’s own reasonable cost and expense, all reasonable commercial steps identified by Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties to mitigate all Indemnified Costs (other than any such Indemnified Costs with respect to Taxes), which steps may include availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity. The Indemnified Parties will provide such evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of the Indemnified Costs as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

Section 9.13. Net of Insurance Benefits.

All Indemnified Costs shall be net of insurance recoveries from insurance policies of the Company to the extent that any proceeds of such policies, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred by the Company in connection therewith, are distributed by Company to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, such amount shall account for any costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with obtaining insurance proceeds with respect to any breach or nonperformance hereunder.

Section 9.14. No Consequential Damages.

Indemnified Costs shall not include, and an Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party for or in respect of, any consequential, special, incidental, exemplary, statutory, or punitive damages of any nature including but not limited to damages for lost profits or revenues or the loss of use of such profits or revenues (other than in each case revenues from Customer Agreements, Government Incentives or sales of RECs), increased costs of purchasing or providing equipment, materials, labor, services, debt service fees or penalties, or damages for lost opportunities; provided, however, that a loss, disallowance or recapture of, or inability to claim Tax Credits or other adverse tax consequences shall not be treated as consequential, special, incidental, exemplary, statutory, or punitive damages for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.15. Payment of Indemnification Claims.

All claims for indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars. Any undisputed portion of an indemnification claim shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties involved. An Indemnifying Party may dispute any portion of an indemnification claim, provided, however, that such disputed indemnification claim shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party together with interest at a rate equal to 5% per annum upon the final determination of the payable amount of the claim (if any) by a court of competent jurisdiction.

DISSOLUTION AND WINDING-UP

Section 10.1. Events of Dissolution.

The Company shall be dissolved upon the first to occur of the following:

(a) the written consent of each of the Members to dissolve the Company, but only on the effective date of dissolution specified by the Members in such writing at the time of such consent;

(b) entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act;

(c) the issuance of a final, nonappealable court order which makes it unlawful for the business of the Company to be carried on; or

(d) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining Member of the Company or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining Member of the Company unless the Company is continued in a manner permitted by this Agreement or the Act.

Section 10.2. Distribution of Assets.

(a) The Members hereby appoint the Managing Member to act as the liquidator upon the occurrence of one of the events in Section 10.1. Upon the occurrence of such an event, the liquidator will proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The liquidator may sell, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best possible price for, any or all Company property, including to Members. In no event, without the approval of Members by Required Majority Vote, will a sale to a Member be for an amount that is less than fair market value (determined by the Appraisal Method if the Members (by Required Majority Vote) are unable to agree on the fair market value).

(b) The liquidator will first pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in liquidation), including Member Loans, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine) in the order of priority as provided by law.

(c) All assets of the Company will be treated as if sold, and the gain or loss treated as realized on those assets will be allocated first to Members with deficits in their Capital Accounts (in the ratio of the deficits if more than one Member’s Capital Account is in deficit) to eliminate the deficits.

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

(d) Remaining gain or loss will be allocated next among the Class A Members in an effort to set the Capital Account of each Class A Member at a level that will allow it to reach an Internal Rate of Return equal to ***% out of the liquidating distributions if such Internal Rate of Return has not already been achieved and, thereafter, in the ratio as provided in Section 5.1(b). Notwithstanding subsections (c) and (d), the Class B Member will be allocated at least ***%, and the Class A Member will be allocated at least ***%, of any gain or loss at liquidation.

(e) After the allocations in subsections (c) and (d) have been made, cash and property will be distributed to Members pro rata in the amount of the positive balances in their Capital Accounts by the end of the Fiscal Year in which the liquidation occurs (or, if later, within ninety (90) calendar days after such liquidation).

(f) The distribution of cash and property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member on its Membership Interests in the Company of all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act. If the assets of the Company remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company are insufficient to return Capital Contributions of each Member, such Member shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member.

Section 10.3. Certificate of Cancellation.

(a) When all debts, liabilities and obligations have been paid and discharged or adequate provisions have been made therefor and all of the remaining property and assets have been distributed to the Members, a certificate of cancellation shall be executed and filed by the liquidator with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which certificate shall set forth the information required by Section 18-203 of the Act.

(b) Upon the filing of the certificate of cancellation, the existence of the Company shall cease.

Section 10.4. In-Kind Distributions. There shall be no distribution of assets of the Company in-kind without a prior Required Majority Vote approving such distribution.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1. Notices.

Unless otherwise provided herein, any offer, acceptance, election, approval, consent, certification, request, waiver, notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder (each referred to as a “Notice”), shall be in writing and delivered (a) in person, (b) by registered or certified mail with postage prepaid and return receipt requested, (c) by recognized overnight courier service with charges prepaid or (d) by facsimile or electronic mail transmission, directed to the intended recipient at the address of such Member set forth on Schedule 4.2(d) attached hereto (as applicable) or at such other address as any Member hereafter may designate to the others in accordance with a Notice under this Section 11.1. A Notice or other communication will be deemed delivered on the earliest to occur of (i) its actual receipt when delivered in person, (ii) the fifth Business Day following its deposit in registered or certified mail, with postage prepaid, and return receipt requested, (iii) the second Business Day following its deposit with a recognized overnight courier service or (iv) the date of receipt of a facsimile or electronic mail or, if such date of receipt is not a Business Day, the next Business Day following such date of receipt, provided the sender can and does provide evidence of successful transmission. Any Notice or other communication received on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on a Business Day shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

Section 11.2. Amendment.

Except for an amendment of Schedule 4.2(d) hereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, an amendment of Annex I in accordance with Section 3.1(a), and a Transfer of Membership Interests and the admission of a new Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement may be changed, modified or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by Members representing a Required Majority Vote; provided, that any amendment of this Agreement after the Flip Date shall not materially impair the rights of the Class A Member unless the Class A Member has consented to such amendment.

Section 11.3. Partition.

Each of the Members hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent it may lawfully do so, any right that such Member may have to maintain any action for partition with respect to the Company property.

Section 11.4. Waivers and Modifications.

Any consent or waiver, express, implied or deemed, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company or any action inconsistent with this Agreement is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company or any other such action. Failure on the part of a Person to insist in any one or more instances upon strict performance of any provisions of this Agreement, to take advantage of any of its rights hereunder, or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that Person or its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has lapsed. All waivers and consents hereunder shall be in writing duly executed by Members representing a Required Majority Vote of the Members affected by such waiver or consent and shall be delivered to the other Members in the manner set forth in Section 11.1.

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Section 11.5. Severability.

Except as otherwise provided in the succeeding sentence, every term and provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable, and if any term or provision of this Agreement is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the legality or validity of the remainder of this Agreement. The preceding sentence shall be of no force or effect if the consequence of enforcing the remainder of this Agreement without such illegal or invalid terms or provision would be to cause any party to this Agreement to lose the benefit of its economic bargain.

Section 11.6. Successors; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Members and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall provide any benefit to any third party (other than the Company) or entitle any third party (other than the Company) to any claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind, it being the intent of the Members that this Agreement shall not be construed as a third-party beneficiary contract. To the full extent permitted by law, no creditor or other third party having dealings with the Company shall have the right to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and may be enforced solely by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the rights of the Members herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Company shall be deemed an asset of the Company for any purpose by any creditor or other third party.

Section 11.7. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, including the schedules attached hereto or incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the entire agreement of the Members with respect to the matters covered herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and oral understandings among the parties hereto with respect to such matters.

Section 11.8. Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle that might refer the governance or construction of this Agreement to the law of another jurisdiction.

Section 11.9. Further Assurances.

Section 11.10. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which may be delivered by facsimile transmission or electronically in .PDF format and each of which shall be an original but all of which together will constitute one instrument, binding upon all parties hereto, notwithstanding that all of such parties may not have executed the same counterpart.

Section 11.11. Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Section 11.11 shall apply to any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, and whether arising at law or in equity), including (i) any dispute regarding the construction, interpretation, performance, validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement or whether any Person is in compliance with, or breach of, any provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) the applicability of this Section 11.11 to a particular dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.11 shall not apply to any matters that, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, are to be resolved by a vote of the Members (including through the Managing Member). Any dispute to which this Section 11.11 applies is referred to herein as a “Dispute.” With respect to a particular Dispute, each Member that is a party to such Dispute is referred to herein as a “Disputing Member.”

(b) If a Dispute arises, the Disputing Members shall attempt to resolve such Dispute through the following procedure: (i) first, the representatives of each of the Disputing Members shall promptly meet (whether by phone or in person) in a good faith attempt to resolve the Dispute; (ii) second, if the Dispute is still unresolved after twenty (20) calendar days following the commencement of the negotiations described Section 11.11(b)(i), then the designated executive officer of each Disputing Member shall meet (whether by phone or in person) in a good faith attempt to resolve the Dispute; and (iii) third, if the Dispute is still unresolved after ten (10) calendar days following the commencement of the negotiations described in clause (ii), then any Disputing Member may take such Dispute to litigation.

(c) If any Member raises a Dispute with respect to the Managing Member’s Internal Rate of Return calculation, such Disputing Member shall notify the Managing Member and the other Members not more than thirty (30) days after such Disputing Member has received the applicable Internal Rate of Return calculation notice. In such event, the Members and the Managing Member shall consider the issues raised or in Dispute and discuss such issues with each other and attempt to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. If notice of Dispute is not given by any Member within such period, each calculation in the Internal Rate of Return will be final and binding on the Member. If the Dispute as to the Managing Member’s calculations is not promptly resolved within ten (10) Business Days of such notification of the Dispute, the Members and the Managing Member shall each promptly present their interpretations to an Independent Accounting Firm, and shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to determine the correct amount of the calculations in dispute (if applicable, in accordance with the methodology set forth in Section 6.5 or Section 7.1) and to resolve the dispute promptly, but in no event more than twenty (20) Business Days after having the dispute submitted to it. The Independent Accounting Firm will make a determination as to each of the items in dispute, which must be (i) in writing, (ii) furnished to each Member and the Managing Member and

Limited Liability Company Agreement of

Vivint Solar Xxxxxxx Project Company, LLC

(iii) made in accordance with this Agreement, and which determination, absent manifest error, will be conclusive and binding on all Members. Each Member shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render its decision as soon as reasonably practicable, including by promptly complying with all reasonable requests by the Independent Accounting Firm for information, books, records and similar items. In the event the Independent Accounting Firm determines that any of the calculations in dispute were incorrect such that distributions to the Class A Members were reduced by more than ***% over a period of one Fiscal Year or longer, the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Class B Members (pro rata in proportion to their Percentage Interests).
