If any Lender shall obtain from the Borrower any amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise of any right of set-off, it shall promptly transfer any such amounts (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such amount) to the Collateral Agent to be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2.02 (Distribution of Collateral Proceeds) of the Collateral Agency Agreement.

To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(c)The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s liens, counterclaims or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

(d)Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

and payable and set forth on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after its receipt, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 (Increased Costs) shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand that compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 (Increased Costs) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which it notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to those increased costs or reductions and of its intention to claim compensation for those circumstances; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to those increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include that period of retroactive effect.

Section 5.02Taxes.

(i)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law (which, for purposes of this Section 5.02 (Taxes), shall include FATCA). If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Withholding Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, taking into account the information and documentation delivered pursuant to Section 5.02(e)) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Withholding Agent or the Borrower, then the Withholding Agent or the Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such applicable Law.

(ii)If the Administrative Agent or the Borrower are required to deduct or withhold any Tax described in Section 5.02(a)(i) and must timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with an applicable Law, and if the Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.02 (Taxes)) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.02(a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(i)The Borrower shall and does hereby indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.02(c) (Tax Indemnifications)) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent as Withholding Agent; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Recipient pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) (Tax Indemnifications) for any interest, additions to tax or penalties that accrue after 180 days from the date such Recipient first receives notice of the relevant Indemnified Taxes if such Recipient does not provide such notice to the Borrower within 180 days from such date of receipt. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall and does hereby indemnify the Administrative Agent and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 5.02(c)(ii).

(ii)Each Lender shall and does hereby severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, (A) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (B) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.05(d) (Participations) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 5.02, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required

In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than the documentation set forth in Section 5.02(e)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.02(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.02(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 5.02(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

For value received, the undersigned, VIVINT SOLAR FINANCING III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), unconditionally promises to pay to [_______________], or its permitted assigns (the “Lender”), the principal amount of [__________________ DOLLARS ($__________)], or if less, the aggregate unpaid and outstanding principal amount of this Note advanced by the Lender to Borrower pursuant to that certain Fixed Rate Loan Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2017 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), among Borrower, the financial institutions as Lenders from time to time party thereto and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and all other amounts owed by Borrower to the Lender hereunder.

Payments of principal of, and interest on, this Note and any Make Whole Amount are to be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lender, in lawful money of the United States of America.

This is one of the Notes referred to in Section 2.02 (Notes) of the Loan Agreement and is entitled to the benefits thereof and is subject to all terms, provisions and conditions thereof.

This Note is made in connection with and is secured by, among other instruments, the provisions of the Collateral Documents. Reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement and the Collateral Documents for the provisions, among others, with respect to the custody and application of the Collateral, the nature and extent of the security provided thereunder, the rights, duties and obligations of Borrower and the rights of the holder of this Note.

The principal amount hereof is payable in accordance with the Loan Agreement, and such principal amount may be prepaid along with any Make Whole Amount, where applicable, solely in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

Borrower authorizes the Lender to record on the schedule annexed to this Note the date and amount of each Loan made by the Lender and each payment or prepayment of principal thereunder and agrees that all such notations shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the matters noted. Borrower further authorizes the Lender to attach to and make a part of this Note continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. No failure to make any such notations, nor any errors in making any such notations, shall affect the validity of Borrower’s obligations to repay the full unpaid principal amount of the Loans.

Borrower further agrees to pay, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, interest from the date hereof on the unpaid and outstanding principal amount hereof until such unpaid and outstanding principal amount shall become due and payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) at the rates of interest and at the times set forth in the Loan Agreement, and Borrower agrees to pay any Make Whole

Amount, other fees and costs as stated in the Loan Agreement at the times specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, the Loan Agreement.

If any payment due on this Note becomes due and payable on a date which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note, along with any Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such amounts, may become or be declared to be immediately due and payable as provided in the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or notices or demands of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Note, at the times specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, the Loan Agreement.

Except as permitted by the Loan Agreement, this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby may not be assigned by Lender to any other Person. Transfer of this Note may be effected only by a surrender of the Note by Lender and either reissuance of the Note or issuance of a new Note by the Borrower to the new lender.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

remedies as are then available to it pursuant to the SREC Security Agreement, including as contemplated under Section 3.08.

Article III
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

3.01Notice of Defaults

. Promptly after (a) any Secured Party (other than any Agent) obtains knowledge of or (b) a Responsible Officer of an Agent receives written notice or has actual knowledge of, in each case, the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under any Loan Document to which it is a party, such Secured Party shall notify the Agents in writing thereof (a “Notice of Default”). Each such Notice of Default shall specifically refer to this Section 3.01 and shall describe such Default or Event of Default in reasonable detail (including the date of occurrence). Upon receipt by the Agents of any such notice, the Agents shall promptly send copies thereof to each Secured Party and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the above, the failure by any Secured Party to provide any notice contemplated by this Section 3.01 shall not in any way affect the right of such Secured Party to enforce its rights in connection with any Event of Default.

3.02Exercise of Remedies.

(a)

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Majority Lenders, on behalf of the Secured Parties) shall be permitted and authorized to take such actions as are specified by such Majority Lenders, including any and all actions (and the exercise of any and all rights, remedies and options) which any Secured Party or any Agent may have under the Loan Documents or under Law, either through itself or a special purpose entity, including the ability to cure any Event of Default, to exercise the right to credit bid the Loans at any sale of the Collateral, whether under any bankruptcy law or in foreclosure of the Liens granted to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or, so long as some or all of the Obligations are then due and payable, to foreclose on the Liens granted under the Collateral Documents and exercise the right of such Agent to sell the Collateral or any part thereof (or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure) and sell, lease or otherwise realize upon the other property mortgaged, pledged and assigned to the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents (any such written request from the Majority Lenders, a “Remedies Direction”). No Secured Party shall have any right to direct any Agent to take any action in respect of the Collateral other than in accordance with the terms hereof. The Collateral is vested in and held by the Collateral Agent or its agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and only the Collateral Agent, acting on the written instructions of the Majority Lenders, has the right to take actions (and exercise rights, remedies and options) with respect to the Collateral.

Exhibit C-5

[***] DESIGNATES PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing herein shall preclude any Secured Party from enforcing (or refraining to enforce) the provisions of its Loan Document in respect of the property, assets or other rights described in Section 4.03, and no such action (or inaction) shall require the consent or approval of (or notification to) any Person other than such Secured Party.

If the Collateral Agent receives a Remedies Direction directing the Collateral Agent to commence a Foreclosure Action, the Collateral Agent shall notify each other Secured Party of such Remedies Direction.

(b)

Any action (including any Foreclosure Action) which has been requested pursuant to a Remedies Direction may be modified, supplemented, terminated and/or countermanded if the Collateral Agent shall have received either (i) a written revocation notice from the Majority Lenders or (ii) a written notice from the Majority Lenders which contains different or supplemental directions with respect to such action.

(c)

At the direction of the Majority Lenders pursuant to a Remedies Direction, the Collateral Agent shall seek to enforce the Collateral Documents and to realize upon the Collateral and, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.01(e) (Involuntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc.) or Section 10.01(f) (Voluntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc.) of the Loan Agreement in respect of any Loan Party of which the Collateral Agent has been notified in writing by the Administrative Agent (to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge or written notice thereof), to seek to enforce the claims of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents in respect thereof; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to follow any Remedies Direction as to which the Collateral Agent has received a written opinion of counsel to the effect that such Remedies Direction is in conflict with any provisions of Law, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any order of any court or Governmental Authority. The Collateral Agent shall not, under any circumstances, be liable to any other Secured Party or any other Person for following the written directions of the Majority Lenders.

3.03Bankruptcy Default

. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.01(e) (Involuntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc.) or Section 10.01(f) (Voluntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc.) of the Loan Agreement in respect of any Loan Party, (a) the unutilized Commitments shall forthwith terminate immediately and (b) all principal of and accrued interest in respect of the Obligations of each Secured Party shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind whatsoever, in each case as provided in Section 10.02(a) (Acceleration and Remedies) of the Loan Agreement.

Exhibit C-6

[***] DESIGNATES PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.

.

3.05Restrictions on Enforcement of Liens

. Until the Debt Termination Date, except to the extent directed or consented to in writing by the Majority Lenders, no Secured Party will:

(a)

oppose or otherwise contest (or support any other Person in contesting) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or for any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement of Liens granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, made by the Collateral Agent, acting at the written direction of, or as consented to in writing by, the Majority Lenders, in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding of the Borrower; or

(b)

oppose or otherwise contest (or support any other Person in contesting) any lawful exercise by the Collateral Agent, acting at the written direction of, or as consented to in writing by, the Majority Lenders, of the right to credit bid the Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties);

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Agreement, during the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.01(e) (Involuntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc.) or Section 10.01(f) (Voluntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc.) of the Loan Agreement in respect of any Loan Party of which it has been notified in writing by the Administrative Agent: (A) the Collateral Agent may but shall not be obligated to take such actions as it deems desirable to create, prove, preserve or protect the Liens upon any Collateral; (B) nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Secured Party to enforce this Agreement, and (C) except for actions that are expressly prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, any holder of Obligations and any Secured Party may take any actions and exercise any and all rights that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims (including (I) the commencement of an insolvency or liquidation proceeding against the Borrower in accordance with Law, (II) the acceleration of the Obligations under and in accordance with (to the extent not automatically accelerated under) the relevant Loan Document, and (III) the termination of any agreement by the holder of any Obligation in accordance with the terms thereof).

3.06Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings

. Prior to the Debt Termination Date, if the Borrower shall be subject to any insolvency or liquidation proceeding and the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders) shall desire to consent to the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), with respect to any Collateral, or to the Borrower obtaining financing, whether from the Secured Parties or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar bankruptcy law (“DIP Financing”), then each Secured Party agrees that it will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing and will not request

Exhibit C-7

[***] DESIGNATES PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.

additional protection or any other relief in connection therewith; provided that each Secured Party retains the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to its interests (unless such ancillary agreements or arrangements, including any adequate protection orders, are equally materially prejudicial to all Secured Parties, in which case there shall be no independent right of a Secured Party to object). Each Secured Party further agrees that it will raise no objection or oppose a motion to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders) has consented to such sale or disposition of such assets, and such motion does not impair the rights of any Secured Party under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code.

3.07Notice of SREC Pledge Trigger Event

. Promptly after (i) any Secured Party (other than any Agent) obtains knowledge of or (ii) a Responsible Officer of an Agent receives written notice or has actual knowledge of, in each case, the occurrence of any SREC Pledge Trigger Event, such Secured Party shall notify the Agents in writing thereof (a “Notice of SREC Pledge Trigger Event”). Each such Notice of SREC Pledge Trigger Event shall specifically refer to this Section 3.07 and shall describe such SREC Pledge Trigger Event in reasonable detail (including the date of occurrence). Upon receipt by the Agents of any such notice, the Agents shall promptly send copies thereof to each Secured Party and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the above, the failure by any Secured Party to provide any notice contemplated by this Section 3.07 shall not in any way affect the right of such Secured Party to enforce its rights in connection with any SREC Pledge Trigger Event. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Loan Documents, if a SREC Pledge Trigger Event is also an Event of Default, no Person shall be required to provide any additional notification of a SREC Pledge Trigger Event and the provisions that apply in respect of Events of Default shall prevail over the provisions applying in respect of SREC Pledge Trigger Events to the extent of any inconsistency.

3.08Exercise of SREC Pledge Remedies.

(a)

If a SREC Pledge Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Majority Lenders, on behalf of the Secured Parties) shall be permitted and authorized to take such actions as are specified by such Majority Lenders, including any and all actions (and the exercise of any and all rights, remedies and options) which any Secured Party or any Agent may have under the SREC Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under Law, either through itself or a special purpose entity, including the ability to cure any SREC Pledge Trigger Event, to commence and prosecute any claim, suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction against any Eligible SREC Counterparty, to apply the proceeds of any enforcement of the Collateral under the SREC Security Agreement to the mandatory prepayment contemplated under Section 3.04(f) (Eligible REC Contract Claim Proceeds) of the Loan Agreement, or, so long as some or all of the Obligations are then due and payable, to foreclose on the Liens granted under the SREC Security Agreement and exercise the right of such Agent to sell the Collateral or any part thereof (or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure) and sell, lease or otherwise realize upon the other property mortgaged, pledged and assigned to

(c)

At the direction of the Majority Lenders pursuant to a SREC Pledge Remedies Direction, the Collateral Agent shall seek to enforce the SREC Security Agreement and to realize upon the applicable Collateral and, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.01(e) (Involuntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc.) or Section 10.01(f) (Voluntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc.) of the Loan Agreement in respect of any SREC Seller Party of which the Collateral Agent has been notified in writing by the Administrative Agent (to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge or written notice thereof), to seek to enforce the claims of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents in respect thereof; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to follow any SREC Remedies Direction as to which the Collateral Agent has received a written opinion of counsel to the effect that such SREC Remedies Direction is in conflict with any provisions of Law, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any order of any court or Governmental Authority. The Collateral Agent shall not, under any circumstances, be liable to any other Secured Party or any other Person for following the written directions of the Majority Lenders.

3.09Notice of Amounts Owed

. If the Majority Lenders pursuant to a Remedies Direction instruct in writing the Collateral Agent or any other Person holding any Collateral on behalf of the Secured Parties to proceed to foreclose upon, collect, sell or otherwise dispose of or take any other action with respect to any or all of the Collateral or to enforce any remedy under any other Loan Document, then upon the request of the Collateral Agent, each Secured Party shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), as of any time that the Collateral Agent may reasonably specify in such request, of (a) the aggregate amount of the respective Obligations owing to the Secured Party and (b) such other information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

(d)

For so long as Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association (or any other Person designated by the Majority Lenders) is acting as the Collateral Agent and except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the same benefits, protections, benefits and indemnities afforded to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

4.04No Responsibility for Certain Conduct.

(a)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein, the Collateral Agent shall not:

(i)

be bound to inquire as to (w) whether or not any representation made by any other Person in connection with any Transaction Document is true, (x) the occurrence or otherwise of any Default, Event of Default or SREC Pledge Trigger Event, (y) the performance by any other Person of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents or the satisfaction of any condition precedent to any obligation of any Secured Party, or (z) any breach of or default by any Person of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents or otherwise;

be bound to disclose to any Person any information relating to the Project or to any Person if such disclosure would constitute a breach of any Law or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any Person;

(iii)

be bound to take any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) in the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Agent and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Agent is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Collateral Agent is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, until the Collateral Agent

Exhibit C-13

is directed otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the parties hereto acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement are not intended to negate any specific rights of the Borrower or the other Loan Parties.

(b)

The Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any information supplied by any Person (other than itself) in connection with the Project or for the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Transaction Document or any other document referred to herein or provided for herein or therein or for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any other Person contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for, or received by the Collateral Agent, hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable as a result of any failure by the Borrower or its Affiliates or any Person (except itself to the extent of the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) party hereto or to any other Transaction Document to perform their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or any document referred to or provided for herein or therein or as a result of taking or omitting to take any action hereunder or in relation to any Transaction Document.

(c)

It is understood and agreed by each Secured Party that is not an Agent (for itself and any other Person claiming through it) that, except as expressly set forth herein, it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of, and investigations into, the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of each Person and, accordingly, each such Secured Party warrants to the Collateral Agent that it has not relied on and will not hereafter rely on the Collateral Agent:

(i)

to check or inquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by any Person in connection with any of the Transaction Documents or the transactions therein contemplated (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter circulated to such Person by the Collateral Agent); or

(ii)

to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature of any Person.

(d)

In the event the Collateral Agent is instructed in writing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Collateral Agent may refuse to take such action in the event that, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, the Collateral Agent determines that taking such action either would be contrary to Law or would cause the Collateral Agent to incur liability for which the Collateral Agent has not been indemnified or secured against to its satisfaction.

Exhibit C-14

[***] DESIGNATES PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.

(e)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent will not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority, maintenance, continuation or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Loan Party to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the present and future Secured Parties concerning the perfection of the Liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for determining whether any given Obligations are in fact secured pursuant to the various Collateral Documents, it being understood that each other Secured Party shall be responsible for ascertaining whether its Obligations are in fact secured pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(i)

each of the parties thereto will remain liable under each of the Collateral Documents (other than this Agreement) to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed;

(ii)

the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder will not release such parties from any of their respective duties or obligations under the other Collateral Documents; and

(iii)

the Collateral Agent will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any of the parties thereunder other than the Collateral Agent.

(g)

In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Agent or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Agent will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

(h)

The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the NY UCC or otherwise, shall be to exercise reasonable care as it would for others. Neither the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Loan Party or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Loan Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(i)

The Collateral Agent is authorized to obey and comply, in any manner it or its counsel deems appropriate, with all writs, order, judgments, awards, decrees issued or process entered by any court or arbitral tribunal with respect to this Agreement and if the Collateral Agent so complies, it shall not be liable to any party hereto or to any other party or person notwithstanding that any such writ, order, judgment, award, decree or process may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without competent jurisdiction.

4.05Defaults

. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any event or default (including any Default, Event of Default, SREC Pledge Trigger Event or any other default in connection with any Loan Documents) or any information or be required to act upon any event, default (including any Default, Event of Default, SREC Pledge Trigger Event or any other default in connection with any Loan Documents) or information (including the sending of any notice) unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has received written notice of such event or default (including any Default, Event of Default or SREC Pledge Trigger Event) referring to this Agreement, describing such event or default (including any Default, Event of Default or SREC Pledge Trigger Event) and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” (or, in the case of a SREC Pledge Trigger Event only, a “Notice of SREC Pledge Trigger Event”). Absent such written notice, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain whether any such event or default (including any Default, Event of Default, SREC Pledge Trigger Event or any other default in connection with any Loan Documents) shall have occurred. If a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or SREC Pledge Trigger Event or receives such a written Notice of Default or Notice of SREC Pledge Trigger Event, the Collateral Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Collateral Agent shall take such

Exhibit C-16

action with respect to such Default, Event of Default or SREC Pledge Trigger Event as is provided in this Agreement and Article X (Events of Default; Remedies) of the Loan Agreement and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, unless and until (i) the Collateral Agent shall have received a Remedies Direction, it shall refrain from taking any such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default or (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have received a Remedies Direction or SREC Remedies Direction, it shall refrain from taking any such action with respect to such SREC Pledge Trigger Event, as applicable.

(a)

Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Person for any action taken or omitted under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents, or in connection therewith, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken. The Secured Parties party hereto each (for itself and any Person claiming through it) hereby releases, waives, discharges and exculpates the Collateral Agent for any action taken or omitted under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents, or in connection therewith, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent (as the case may be), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken.

(b)

The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or not fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Collateral Agent (including any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

4.07Indemnification

the resignation pursuant to Section 4.08(a) or removal pursuant to Section 4.08(b) of the predecessor Collateral Agent, notwithstanding, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the predecessor Collateral Agent’s benefit, as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents while it was Collateral Agent; and

(iii)

the successor Collateral Agent, and each of the other parties hereto shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor Collateral Agent had been a party hereto beginning on the date of this Agreement.

The Collateral Agent and each of its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of and generally engage in any kind of business with any Person, without any duty to account therefor to the Secured Parties.

4.12Co-Collateral Agent; Separate Collateral Agent.

(iii)

no power given hereby or by the relevant Loan Documents to, or which it is provided herein or therein may be exercised by, any such co-Collateral Agent or separate Collateral Agent shall be exercised hereunder or thereunder by such co-Collateral Agent or separate Collateral Agent except jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the Collateral Agent, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding;

Depositary Agent of a Trigger Event Notice (and until Depositary Agent has had a reasonable time to comply with such notice (but in any event no more than two Business Days after Depositary Agent’s receipt thereof)) or (2) in the event of any failure by Borrower to so direct Depositary Agent in writing on or prior to the day on which any funds are (x) received by Depositary Agent or (y) transferred between Collateral Accounts in accordance with this Depositary Agreement as to the investment of such funds, such investments and reinvestments shall be made by Depositary Agent in any Permitted Investment. All funds in a Collateral Account that are invested pursuant to this Section 3.01(a) shall be deemed to be held in such Collateral Account for purposes of this Depositary Agreement and shall constitute part of the Collateral. Borrower shall bear all risk of loss of capital from investments in Permitted Investments. The Depositary Agent shall not be liable for any loss, including without limitation, any loss of principal or interest or for any breakage fees or penalties in connection with the purchase or liquidation of any investment made in accordance with the written instructions of the Borrower or any Guarantor, other than resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Depositary Agent (as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction).

(ii)

The Depositary Agent shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest the funds held in any Collateral Account if deposited with the Depositary Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such day of deposit. Instructions received after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) will be treated as if received on the following day. Any interest or income received on such investment of funds shall become part of the relevant Collateral Account and any losses incurred on such investment or reinvestment of funds shall be debited against the relevant Collateral Account. The Depositary Agent shall have no responsibility for any investment losses resulting from the investment, reinvestment or liquidation of the funds. It is agreed and understood that the entity serving as Depositary Agent may earn fees associated with the investments outlined above in accordance with the terms of such investments. In no event shall the Depositary Agent be deemed an investment manager or adviser in respect of any selection of investments hereunder. It is understood and agreed that the Depositary Agent or its affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Depositary Agent’s economic self-interest for (1) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub‑custodian with respect to certain of the investments, (2) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain investments and (3) effecting transactions in investments.

(b)

Exhibit D-16

[***] DESIGNATES PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.

(ii)

Neither Depositary Agent nor any Agent shall be liable for any loss, tax, penalties or other charges resulting from any investment in any Permitted Investment or the sale, disposition, redemption or liquidation of such investment or by reason of the fact that the proceeds realized in respect of such sale, disposition, redemption or liquidation were less than that which might otherwise have been obtained, except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Agent (as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction).

(c)

Liquidation to Make Disbursements. If and when cash is required for the making of any transfer, disbursement or withdrawal in accordance with Articles III and IV, Borrower or, if the Depositary Agent has received a Trigger Event Notice (and until Depositary Agent has had a reasonable time to comply with such notice (but in any event no more than two Business Days after Depositary Agent’s receipt thereof)), the Depositary Agent, shall cause Permitted Investments held in the applicable Collateral Account to be sold or otherwise liquidated into cash (without regard to maturity) as and to the extent necessary in order to make such transfers, disbursements or withdrawals required pursuant to Articles III and IV. Depositary Agent shall comply with any written instruction from the Borrower with respect to any such liquidation of Permitted Investments unless Depositary Agent has received a Trigger Event Notice (and until Depositary Agent has had a reasonable time to comply with such notice (but in any event no more than two Business Days after Depositary Agent’s receipt thereof)), upon which the Depositary Agent shall comply with written instructions from the Collateral Agent with respect to any such liquidation of Permitted Investments. In the event any such investments are redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, no Agent shall be liable for any loss or penalties relating thereto, except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Agent (as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction).

(d)

Income from Investments. The proceeds earned from the investment of monies in any Collateral Account in Permitted Investments shall be deposited by Depositary Agent into the Collections Account on or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the month in which such interest, gain or other amount is earned and received; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, such proceeds shall consist of interest, gain and other amounts received in respect of an investment of principal and not the principal itself. Any interest, gain or other amount of income earned on Permitted Investments shall be for the account of Borrower for income tax purposes.

(e)

Taxes, Etc. The Depositary Agent does not have any interest in the funds held in any Collateral Account. Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Depositary Agent upon request for any transfer taxes or other taxes relating to the funds held in the Collateral Account incurred in connection herewith and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositary Agent any amounts that it is obligated to pay in the way of such taxes. Any payments of income from a Collateral Account shall be subject to withholding regulations then in force with respect to United States taxes. Borrower will provide the Depositary Agent with appropriate W-9 forms for tax identification number certifications, or W-8 forms for non-resident alien certifications. It is understood that

Each Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate shall request withdrawals and transfers to and from Collateral Accounts in the amounts, at the times and in order of priority set out in ARTICLE IV (The Collateral Accounts). Depositary Agent may conclusively rely on any such certificate that purports to be so signed and so acknowledged, and shall have no duty whatsoever to investigate whether any such signature is genuine or authorized. Each Guarantor grants an irrevocable and continuing authorization to the Borrower, Depositary Agent and Collateral Agent for transfers from the Guarantor Accounts and the Pledged SREC Account to the Collections Account in accordance with this Depositary Agreement.

If Borrower fails to submit or cause to be submitted an Executed Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate to Depositary Agent for such withdrawal, transfer or payment within one (1) Business Day after such notice, the Collateral Agent hereby agrees that Administrative Agent (upon written instruction from the Majority Lenders) shall direct Depositary Agent in writing (with a copy to Borrower) to effect such withdrawal, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

Depositary Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any certificate, direction, instruction, notice or other communication of or from an authorized officer or representative of Borrower, a Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any other relevant certificate, direction, instruction, notice, communication or document (including any telecopy) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and shall have no liability for its actions taken thereupon, except to the extent of Depositary Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a non-appealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Depositary Agent shall have no duty or obligation to verify, investigate, ascertain or determine whether any certificate, direction, instruction, notice, communication or document provided to Depositary Agent contains accurate information or whether any individual signing such certificate, direction, instruction, notice, communication or document has the authority such individual purports to have. Depositary Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Depositary Agreement (a) if such action would, in the opinion of Depositary Agent, be contrary to applicable law or the terms of this Depositary Agreement, (b) if such action is not specifically provided for in this Depositary Agreement and it shall not have received any such advice or concurrence of any Agent, Borrower or a Guarantor as it deems appropriate or (c) if, in connection with the taking of any such action that would constitute an exercise of remedies under this Depositary Agreement, it shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction or as required by this Depositary Agreement against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Depositary Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Depositary Agreement in accordance with any Executed Withdrawal/Transfer Certificate, any Remedies Direction or other instruction of Borrower, Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (in each case to the extent such Person is expressly authorized hereunder to direct Depositary Agent to take or refrain from taking such action), and such action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agents and the Secured Parties. In the event that Depositary Agent is required to perform any action on a particular date only following the delivery of an officer’s or representative’s certificate or other document, Depositary Agent shall be fully justified in failing to perform such action if it has not first received such officer’s or representative’s certificate or other document and shall be fully justified in continuing to fail to perform such action until such time as it has received such officer’s or representative’s certificate or other document.

Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Depositary Agent hereunder by a successor Depositary Agent, such successor Depositary Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Depositary Agent, and the retiring Depositary Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. If no successor Depositary Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days following the delivery by Depositary Agent of a notice of resignation or removal of the Depositary Agent, then the retiring Depositary Agent, in its discretion, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Depositary Agent with all costs and expenses associated with such petition to be paid by the Borrower. After the retiring Depositary Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Depositary Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE VI (The Depositary Agent) shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken, suffered or omitted while it was acting as Depositary Agent. Any corporation into which the Depositary Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Depositary Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust or agency business of the Depositary Agent, shall be the successor of the Depositary Agent hereunder; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article to act as a successor Depositary Agent, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
