THIS FINANCE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 23, 2012 (this “Agreement”), is made by and between ORPOWER 4 INC., a limited liability company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and registered in the Republic of Kenya as a foreign company (the “Borrower”), and OVERSEAS PRIVATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION, an agency of the United States of America (“OPIC”).
The Borrower intends to design, construct, finance, furnish, install, test, commission, operate and own an integrated eighty-four (84) MW geothermal power generation facility located in Hell’s Gate National Park in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya (the “Project”), consisting of Plant 1, certain upgrades of Plant 1 and related infrastructure and Plant 2.
In connection therewith, the Borrower has requested that OPIC provide a credit facility pursuant to Section 234(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, which OPIC is willing to do on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing and of the agreements contained herein, it is agreed as follows:

(b) Tranche II Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, OPIC agrees to make, and the Borrower agrees to accept, a Tranche II Loan for the Project in a principal amount not to exceed one hundred eighty million Dollars ($180,000,000).
(c) Disbursement; Term. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may request a Disbursement by delivering to OPIC a Disbursement Request not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Disbursement of the Tranche I Loan and the first Disbursement of the Tranche II Loan shall be made no later than the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Each Disbursement shall be evidenced by a Note, dated the Closing Date, in the principal amount of the Disbursement and maturing on the applicable Note Maturity Date. The Tranche I Loan shall not exceed the amount of the Tranche I Commitment and the Tranche II Loan shall not exceed the amount of the Tranche II Commitment. Loan amounts repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
- 1 -
(d) Number and Amount of Disbursements.
(i) There shall be a single Disbursement of the Tranche I Loan in an amount not to exceed the Tranche I Commitment (the “Tranche I Disbursement”) which shall be made simultaneously with the first Disbursement of the Tranche II Loan;
(ii) There shall be no more than one (1) Disbursement of the Tranche II Loan in each fiscal quarter and no more than ten (10) total Disbursements of the Tranche II Loan (each, a “Tranche II Disbursement”). Except as set forth below, each Tranche II Disbursement shall be in an amount of not less than ten million Dollars ($10,000,000), in multiples of one hundred thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof, but in any event not greater than:
(A) | in the case of the first Tranche II Disbursement, one hundred thirty-five million Dollars ($135,000,000); and |

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may request the last Tranche II Disbursement in an amount not to exceed the total undisbursed and entire remaining amount of the Tranche II Loan Commitment; provided, that, such Disbursement shall be for an amount not less than five million Dollars ($5,000,000).
(e) Expansion Loan. Subject to terms and conditions to be agreed between the Borrower and OPIC in subsequent documentation (“Expansion Loan Documents”), OPIC will agree to make, and the Borrower will agree to accept, a loan (an “Expansion Loan”) in a principal amount not to exceed forty-five million Dollars ($45,000,000) to finance the development, construction and start-up operating costs of an up to 16 MW expansion of the Project.
SECTION 2.02. Interest; Default Interest.
(a) Payment of Interest; OPIC Note Interest Rate. On each Payment Date, (i) in the case of the Tranche I Loan, beginning on the Initial Payment Date and ending on the Tranche I Maturity Date and (ii) in the case of the Tranche II Loan, beginning on the Initial Payment Date and ending on the Tranche II Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the order of OPIC interest in arrears on the daily outstanding principal balance of each Note, less any amount of principal on which interest is payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.02(b), accrued at a rate per annum, subject to Section 2.02(c), equal to the sum of the following (subject to Section 2.02(c), the “OPIC Note Interest Rate” with respect to each Note):
(i) | the Certificate Interest Rate; and |
(ii) | the OPIC Guaranty Fee. |
(b) Default Rate. If the Borrower fails to pay when due any amount due to OPIC under any Financing Document, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such amount is due until the date on which such amount is paid in full.
(c) Adjustment to OPIC Note Interest Rate. If OPIC shall have made payment of any principal, interest or other guaranteed amount on account of a defaulted payment pursuant to OPIC’s guaranty under the Funding Documents under any Note (an “OPIC Guaranty Payment”), then, with respect to the amount of such OPIC Guaranty Payment, the OPIC Note Interest Rate from the date of such
- 2 -
OPIC Guaranty Payment to the date of payment in full to OPIC of the amount of such OPIC Guaranty Payment may, at OPIC’s option, be converted to a fixed per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the following:
(i) | The U.S. Treasury Cost; and |
(ii) | The OPIC Guaranty Fee, |
and, the Borrower shall, on demand, pay to OPIC the amount of such OPIC Guaranty Payment, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, adjusted as provided in this Section 2.02(c).
(d) Conversion of Weekly Rate Note. On the Conversion Date with respect to any Weekly Rate Note, the Borrower shall issue to OPIC one or more (as OPIC may specify) Fixed Rate Notes aggregating the principal amount of such Weekly Rate Note and dated the Conversion Date and OPIC shall return such Weekly Rate Note to the Borrower in exchange therefor. All Fixed Rate Notes in respect of the Tranche II Loan shall be issued for a term ending on or before the Tranche II Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.03. Repayment of the Loans.
The Borrower shall repay:
(a) the Tranche I Loan in seventy-three (73) approximately equal quarterly installments (collectively, the “Tranche I Principal Installments”) on each Payment Date beginning on the Initial Payment Date and ending no later than the Tranche I Maturity Date; and
(b) the Tranche II Loan in up to sixty-nine (69) approximately equal quarterly installments (collectively, the “Tranche II Principal Installments”) beginning on the Tranche II Initial Payment Date and ending no later than the Tranche II Maturity Date.

- 3 -
SECTION 2.05. Mandatory Prepayment.
The Borrower shall prepay the Loans as follows and in the manner provided in the Funding Documents:
(a) in the event that the aggregate amount of property and casualty insurance proceeds or other compensation proceeds for loss or damage (excluding business interruption insurance proceeds) to an asset (including by expropriation or governmental action) received by the Borrower during any Fiscal Year (i) in excess of one million Dollars ($1,000,000) is not applied to the repair or replacement of assets insured thereby where such funds will be spent within one hundred-eighty (180) days (or such other longer period as OPIC may agree in its sole discretion) after receipt by the Borrower, in the amount of any amounts not so applied and (ii) equal to or less than one million Dollars ($1,000,000) if the Borrower has not certified to OPIC within thirty (30) days (or such other longer period as OPIC may agree in its sole discretion) after receipt by the Borrower that the Borrower’s failure to apply such amount to the repair or replacement of assets insured thereby will not impair the Project, result in a failure to meet Contracted Plant Capacity or a breach of any of the Borrower’s obligations under the Project Documents, in the amount of any amounts not so applied;
(b) in the event there are performance liquidated damages paid pursuant to the Supply Agreement or the Coordination Contract, in the amount of any such damages;
(c) in the event there is a purchase payment made by KPLC pursuant to Clause 10 of the PPA, in the amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Secured Obligations and (ii) such purchase payment;
(d) in the event there is a downward revision of the Contracted Plant Capacity (as contemplated in Clause 9.8A of the PPA, including following any repeated Contracted Plant Capacity Test conducted due to a failed Contracted Plant Capacity Test pursuant to the final sentence of Clause 9.10 of the PPA) such that the Contracted Plant Capacity following such downward revision is less than the Required Contracted Plant Capacity, by an amount sufficient to restore the projected ratio of Cash Flow to Debt Service to the projected level set forth in the then current Financial Model. Any prepayment under this clause (d) shall be made by utilizing funds on deposit in the Equity Sub-Account or in the Equity Distribution Account until the projected ratio of Cash Flow to Debt Service has been so restored; provided, that no mandatory prepayment shall be required to be made under this clause (d) if the projected ratio of Cash Flow to Debt Service in any year during the remaining term of the Loan is 1.7:1 or higher;
(e) unless otherwise agreed by OPIC, in the event the Borrower receives any Sale Proceeds (excluding proceeds from the Disposition of Certified Emissions Reductions pursuant to the CER Documents) in excess of two hundred and fifty thousand Dollars ($250,000) resulting from one or more Dispositions in any year of all or any part of the Property of the Borrower, in the amount of such Sale Proceeds; and
(f) in the event the Borrower receives any Termination Payment or Expropriation Proceeds, in the amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Secured Obligations and (ii) such Termination Payment or Expropriation Proceeds, as the case may be.
Prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be subject to any Redemption Premium or other amounts payable pursuant to the Funding Documents and shall be applied in the same manner as if made pursuant to Section 2.04 (Voluntary Prepayment), except that no Prepayment Premium shall be due. For purposes of Section 2.05(a), the prepayment shall be applied against payments due to OPIC taking into
- 4 -
account the Redemption Premium, if payable pursuant to the Funding Documents in connection with such prepayment.
SECTION 2.06. Loan Fees and Cancellation.
(a) Commitment Fee. During the applicable Commitment Period, the Borrower shall pay to OPIC, in arrears, on each Payment Date beginning on the first Payment Date after the date of this Agreement and on the last day of such Commitment Period, or, if earlier, the date this Agreement is terminated, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) accruing on a daily basis for each day of such Commitment Period at the rate of twenty-five hundredths of one percent (0.25%) per annum on an amount calculated for each day during the Commitment Period equal to the sum of the Tranche I Commitment and the Tranche II Commitment on such day.
(b) Cancellation Fee. The Borrower may cancel all or any part of the Commitments at any time upon written notice and payment to OPIC of a cancellation fee (the “Cancellation Fee”) equal to one percent (1.0%) of the amount of the Commitment canceled, provided that, with respect to the Tranche II Commitment, the Borrower demonstrates to OPIC’s satisfaction that there are sufficient funds available to construct and operate the Project. Any part of the Commitments not disbursed at the end of the applicable Commitment Period or that is terminated for any reason shall be deemed to have been canceled, and such Cancellation Fee shall be payable with respect thereto.
(c) Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay OPIC a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to seventy-five hundredths of one percent (0.75%) of the Commitments on or prior to the initial Closing Date.
(d) Maintenance Fee. The Borrower shall pay to OPIC an annual maintenance fee (the “Maintenance Fee”) in the amount of fifty thousand Dollars ($50,000) on the first anniversary of the Payment Date immediately following the first Closing Date and on each anniversary of such Payment Date for so long as any portion of the Loan remains outstanding.
(e) Modification Fee. In the event that the Borrower requests an amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document (including any restructuring under this Agreement or any other Financing Document) that relates to the term or the amortization of the Loans, the applicable OPIC Note Interest Rates, any fees due hereunder or thereunder, or any covenants, OPIC will consider such an amendment or waiver on its merits upon payment by the Borrower, at the time of such request, of a fee, determined by OPIC acting reasonably, commensurate with the complexity and timing constraints of such amendment or waiver (the “Modification Fee”); provided, however, that no Modification Fee will be required or payable if the amendment or waiver is necessary: (i) to correct an error or omission in any Financing Document, (ii) to comply with changes in Applicable Law, (iii) to address any matters related to the making of the Expansion Loan or the negotiation and preparation of the Expansion Loan Documents, or (iv) in OPIC’s determination, to improve the operations of the Project without materially altering the risks undertaken by OPIC. OPIC is under no obligation to agree to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document. The Borrower acknowledges that OPIC may request a Modification Fee in connection with restructurings of any kind or any prepayment requiring releases of collateral or other similar actions by OPIC; provided, however, that OPIC shall not request a Modification Fee and no Modification Fee shall be payable in connection with any repayment of the Loan in its entirety (whether as a result of a refinancing or otherwise). OPIC’s agreement in clause (iii) of the proviso above shall not prejudice OPIC’s ability to charge any other customary fee in connection with the making of the Expansion Loan or the negotiation and preparation of the Expansion Loan Documents.
- 5 -
SECTION 2.07. Tax Gross-Up; Stamp Duties; Proper Legal Form.
(a) All sums payable by the Borrower hereunder and under any other Financing Document shall be paid in full, free of any deductions or withholdings of any and all present and future Taxes. If the Borrower is required by Applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from or to withhold any Taxes in respect of any amount payable to OPIC hereunder or under any Financing Document, then the Borrower shall pay such additional amount as may be necessary so that the actual amount received by OPIC after such deductions or withholdings equals the full amount stated to be payable under the Financing Documents.
(b) In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 6.03(c) (Maintenance of Rights and Compliance with Laws), the Borrower shall pay before they become overdue any and all present and future Taxes payable on or in connection with the execution, delivery, registration, or notarization, or for the legality, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document directly to the Governmental Authority responsible for collecting such Taxes, except for any Taxes that the Borrower is contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with the Accounting Principles; provided, that the Borrower hereby indemnifies OPIC and holds OPIC harmless from and against any and all liabilities, fees, or additional expenses with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying, or omission to pay, any such Taxes. Within thirty (30) days after payment by the Borrower of any such Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish OPIC with the original or a Certified copy of the receipt evidencing payment thereof, together with any other information OPIC may reasonably request. OPIC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay any Taxes not paid by the Borrower and the Borrower shall, upon OPIC’s demand, promptly reimburse OPIC in full for all such payments.
SECTION 2.08. Miscellaneous.
(a) Payment or Reimbursement of Expenses. OPIC may retain such consultants as determined by OPIC to be necessary, including U.S. and local legal counsel, at any time until the Loans are indefeasibly repaid in full. Upon request, the Borrower shall promptly pay or reimburse OPIC for all of OPIC’s out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, notarization, recordation and implementation of the Financing Documents and, if applicable, the Expansion Loan Documents and the other documents, instruments and approvals required to be delivered thereunder, including (i) the reasonable fees and expenses of outside U.S. and local legal counsel and business consultants, and (ii) the costs of communications, preparation of any documents, authentication, registration, and recordation of any of the Financing Documents, preparation of bound volumes, dvds or cds of the Financing Documents for OPIC’s use, and termination of the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) | Appointment of Arbitral Tribunal – Three Arbitrators |
(i) | If the Arbitral Tribunal is to consist of three arbitrators, each Arbitration Party shall nominate one arbitrator. The claimant shall nominate an arbitrator at the same time as serving the Notice of Arbitration. The respondent shall nominate an arbitrator within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice of the claimant’s nomination. If either Arbitration Party fails to nominate an arbitrator within such time limits, the other Arbitration Party may request that the Administrator appoint such arbitrator. The Administrator shall promptly make such appointment, and may exercise its discretion (subject to Section 2(c) hereof) in making such appointment. The two arbitrators thus appointed shall choose the third arbitrator who will act as the presiding arbitrator of the Arbitral Tribunal. |
(ii) | If within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator the two arbitrators have not agreed on the choice of the presiding arbitrator, the Administrator shall promptly appoint the presiding arbitrator using the following list-procedure, unless (x) all Arbitration Parties agree that the list-procedure should not be used or (y) the Administrator determines in its discretion that the use of the list-procedure is not appropriate for the case: |

(B) Within ten (10) days after the receipt of this list, each Arbitration Party may return the list to the Administrator after having deleted the name or names of not more than two candidates to which it objects and numbered the remaining names on the list in the order of its preference;
(C) After the expiration of the above period of time, the Administrator shall promptly appoint the presiding arbitrator from among the names approved on the lists returned to it and taking into account the order of preference indicated by the Arbitration Parties; provided, however, that if this procedure has not resulted in the appointment of a presiding arbitrator within 120 days (unless the parties consent to an extension prior to the expiry of 120 days), then the Administrator shall promptly appoint the presiding arbitrator in accordance with the Rules.
(c) | Qualifications. |
Each arbitrator, in addition to meeting the qualification requirements of the Rules, (i) shall be fluent in the English language, and (ii) shall be an attorney admitted to the bar of the State of New York, U.S.A., with experience in international investment and finance.
3. | Expedited Proceedings |

Any time limit set by the Rules, the Administrator or the Arbitral Tribunal shall be extended only for extraordinary reasons (as determined in the sole discretion of the Arbitral Tribunal), unless otherwise agreed by the Arbitration Parties.
4. | Consolidation |
An Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power, at the request of an Arbitration Party, to consolidate any two or more arbitrations commenced pursuant to Section 8.04 of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such consolidation shall be ordered unless (i) the time limits referred to in Section 3 of this Schedule 8.04 can be complied with notwithstanding such consolidation, and (ii) the Arbitration Parties in the consolidated arbitration confirm the appointment of the Arbitral Tribunal.
