Section 12.09 Confidential Information.

(a)    Except as required by applicable law or explicitly required or permitted by this Agreement, no Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party, (i) disclose any confidential information obtained from the other Party to any third parties, other than to consultants, employees, officers and potential financing parties who have agreed to keep such information confidential as contemplated by this Agreement and who need the information to carry out the purpose for which they were engaged (ii) use any confidential information obtained from the other party except for the purposes set forth in the Agreement.

(b)    This Section 12.09 does not apply to information that the receiving party can demonstrate is presently a matter of public knowledge or which is or becomes available as a matter of public knowledge from a source which is not known to be prohibited from disclosing such information. In the event that a Party is requested or required by legal or regulatory authority to disclose any confidential information, the Party shall promptly notify the disclosing Party of such request or requirement prior to disclosure so that the disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the receiving Party shall have the right to disclose only so much of the confidential information as, in the advice of its legal counsel, the receiving party is legally required to disclose. In such an event, the receiving Party agrees to use good faith efforts to ensure that all confidential information that is so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment.

However, any such information relating to such tax treatment and tax structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable securities laws. The preceding sentences are intended to cause the Transaction not to be treated as having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Sections 1.6011-4(b)(3) and 301.6111­2(a)(2)(ii) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations issued under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose.

Exhibit A

Methodology for Determining Allocation of Cost and Expenses

1. Allocation of costs and expenses will be between Pattern Energy Group LP (PEG 1), Pattern Energy Group 2 LP (PEG 2) and Pattern Energy Group Inc. (PEG Inc.).

2. Costs and expenses incurred at PEG 1 or any of its respective subsidiaries will be allocated to PEG Inc. and PEG 2, as applicable. Conversely, costs and expenses incurred at PEG Inc. or its subsidiaries will be allocated to PEG 1 and PEG 2, as applicable.

3. Costs and expenses included in the allocation will be:

a. Employee (labor) related, including but not limited to salaries and benefits;

b. Travel and entertainment;

c. Professional fees, including but not limited to consulting and legal;

d. Information technology, including but not limited to computer hardware, network services, software licenses and telecom;

e. General and administrative, including but not limited to insurance, rent, and other facilities, advertising, office supplies, public relations, and delivery charges;

f. Cash bonus compensation for employees; provided, however, with respect to members of the executive management team of PEG Inc. or PEG 1, such bonus compensation will only be included to the extent that such compensation does not exceed 120% of the average compensation paid to such executive during the three (3) prior calendar years (after disregarding from such three-year average any compensation that exceeded such 120% threshold); and

g. Non-cash compensation for employees, to the extent such non-cash compensation does not exceed 10% of the total compensation paid in such calendar year.

4. Allocating labor and other costs and expenses will be determined by percentages based on time­study results. Quarterly questionnaires will be completed by all employees and will require all employees to accurately designate time spent on various categories, including but not limited to development, construction, operating projects owned by PEG Inc. or general corporate matters.

5. PEG 1 and PEG 2 will allocate costs and expenses to PEG Inc. by:

a. Determining its total costs and expenses as listed above.

b. Determine the allocation percentage from quarterly time­study questionnaire results. In general, percent classifications to operating projects owned by PEG Inc. will be used to allocate costs from PEG 1 or PEG 2, as applicable, to PEG Inc.

c. Allocated costs and expenses will be equal to total costs and expenses multiplied by the allocation percentage.

6. PEG Inc. and PEG 2 will allocate costs and expenses to PEG 1 by:

a. Determining its total costs and expenses as listed above.

Exhibit A

b. Determine allocation percentage from quarterly time­study questionnaire results. In general, percent classifications to operating projects owned by PEG Inc. will be attributed to PEG Inc. The remaining percentage will be used to allocate costs from PEG Inc. and PEG 2 to PEG 1.
