Section 8.4 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and, interpreted, and the rights of the Parties determined in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York without reference to its choice of law provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law).

(b) Executive Dispute Resolution. In connection with any dispute, controversy or claim between the Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement (a “Dispute”), the Parties will use their reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days. If the Dispute has not been resolved within such thirty (30) day period, the Parties will escalate the Dispute to the respective Parent Officers, who will meet to discuss and use their reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Parties remain unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days of the initial meeting of the Parent Officers, any Party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 8.4. Arbitration hereunder shall be the exclusive means for resolving Disputes that are not resolved through the efforts of the Parties or their Parent Officers.

-28-

(c) Arbitration. Subject to Section 8.4(b), all Disputes shall be finally settled under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The number of arbitrators shall be three (3). The CI Entities, on the one hand, and AGR, on the other hand shall each appoint one arbitrator, and those two arbitrators shall then appoint a third arbitrator, who shall act as chair of the tribunal, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. Any arbitrator not appointed under the method described above shall be appointed by the AAA under the Rules. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. Each party to the arbitration shall take such actions as are reasonably within its control to cause the arbitral tribunal to render a reasoned award within six (6) months from the initiation of the arbitration; provided, that the failure of the arbitral tribunal to do so within such time period shall not form the basis for an objection to the award. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive damages under any circumstances (whether it be exemplary damages, treble damages, or any other penalty or punitive type of damages), regardless of whether such damages may be available under New York law and shall be otherwise limited in awarding damages as expressly provided in this Agreement; the Parties hereby waive their right, if any, to recover punitive damages in connection with any Dispute. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs for the arbitration; provided, that the fees and costs of the arbitration shall be paid for by the non-prevailing Party in the arbitration, if any, in the manner determined by the arbitrators.

(d) Consolidation of Proceedings. In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, if any Disputes arise under this Agreement that are related to any disputes arising under any other contract with an Affiliate of a Party relating to the Projects (such disputes, together with the Disputes, the “Related Disputes” and each a “Related Dispute”), then any Party that is a party to any of such Related Disputes may request that any or all such Related Disputes be brought in a single arbitration pursuant to this Section 8.4(d). If one or more arbitrations are already pending with respect to a Related Dispute, then any Party that is a party to any of such disputes may request that any arbitration or any new Related Dispute be consolidated into any prior arbitration. Upon objection by any other Party, the arbitral panel shall determine, in its discretion, whether the Related Disputes are sufficiently related such that they should be consolidated in a single arbitration. In the event the arbitral tribunal determines to so consolidate the Related Disputes, all of the claims and counterclaims in the arbitrations shall be made under the same arbitration agreement. The arbitral tribunal for the arbitration into which a new dispute is consolidated shall serve as the arbitral tribunal for the consolidated arbitration. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitral tribunal constituted hereunder and another arbitral tribunal constituted under this Agreement, the ruling of the arbitral tribunal constituted first in time shall control, and such arbitral tribunal shall serve as the tribunal for any consolidated arbitration.

EXHIBIT A

PRINCIPLES OF TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

Obligations of the Parties that are neither subject to, nor conditioned upon, execution of the Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”)

The objective of the TSA will be to minimize or eliminate the potential increased risks to VW LLC, the Project companies and their activities, and relationships derived out of the contemplated Restructuring Transactions, as proposed by AGR and agreed by the CI Entities.

In order to accomplish the above objective, beginning on the Effective Date:

The CI Entities and AGR shall work towards establishing a baseline of what is the scope of the services each resource under the “Executive Personnel”, “Key Personnel” or other personnel (defined below) has (such exercise will need to come from the management of VW where the CI Entities and AGR agree to instruct to do so starting on the Effective Date.

Within 1 month from the Effective Date, VW shall provide each owner with a detailed briefing of stakeholders, partnership agreements, and any other relevant facts, documents or information necessary for successful lease area development and project execution and delivery.

Within a maximum of 1 month of the Effective Date, but otherwise as soon as feasible, VW shall advise on which lease area and project stakeholders and public officials the lease area and project owners shall engage with to advise on the ownership transition. At the request of the lease area or project owner, designated VW personnel shall assist the owners in stakeholder and public official outreach to ensure lease area and project development continuity.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the TSA or this Exhibit A, the obligations set forth immediately above in clauses A through C, are neither subject to, nor conditioned upon, execution of the transition service agreement and the transition periods identified below for the TSA shall be extended one day for each day that completion of those obligations are delayed beyond one (1) month following the Effective Date.

Outline of principles for the Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”)

Project to remain jointly owned by CI-II, CI-III and AGR:

The asset swap should not affect the resources and the services provided by (i) Copenhagen Offshore Partners A/S; (ii) Vineyard Wind Services LLC, and (iii) resources provided by AGR/Iberdrola Group.

Key Personnel in the jointly owned project will remain at their positions until the natural conclusion of the work they have been retained for.

Projects to be wholly owned by one Member after the Restructuring:

A transition period of 5 months after the Effective Date will be established whereas, similar to above, all Executive Personnel will continue their day to day workings and 4 months where all Key Personnel will continue their day-to-day workings and responsibilities (including bid submission for MA-III).

-33-

All Executive Personnel and Key Personnel will be released from all liabilities towards any of the shareholders for the work performed during the transition period, except to the extent losses result from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud. Officers of the Company having resigned but continuing in Executive Personnel roles shall be released from all obligations and claims, including for the CEO position specifically named in the COP Services and Bonus agreement between VW and Copenhagen Offshore Partners A/S, except to the extent losses result from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.

Each of the shareholders can elect to nominate each of the Executive Personnel and Key Personnel to a “Key Advisor” such that the role changes from exercising the daily management oversight, decision-making and delegated authority to advising an appointed person from each of the shareholders (“Shareholder Nominee”) and as such be relieved from their day-to-day duties and responsibilities.

While Executive and Key Personnel remain in their role, such Executive and Key Personnel shall retain the same management responsibilities, other responsibilities and delegated authority as prior to the transition to achieve the already established business goals. Furthermore, if any of the Project Companies substantially changes existing plans, strategies, governance, policies and procedures, budgets or otherwise substantially change the position or content of the position such Key Personnel or Key Executive shall become a “Key Advisor”.

A Key Advisor shall be available to assist and advise any Shareholder Nominee for the duration of the agreement as defined below, but can otherwise be allocated to other tasks not to interfere with giving advice as needed.

Notwithstanding the obligations above, each Executive Personnel and Key Personnel will be able to continue to work on assignments outside VW and the Projects as before the Transaction.

During the term of the transition period, each of AGR and the CI Entities will be responsible to find the successors of the Key Personnel on a timely manner. The cost of the successors will be borne by AGR for PCW and 534 Rest of Zone and by CI for 522.

Employees of Vineyard Wind Services LLC will continue to work on Projects and assignments as contemplated before the transaction for the first 4 months following the Effective Date. AGR shall no later than 2 months after the Effective Date discuss with Vineyard Wind Services LLC future resource needs so Vineyard Wind Services can adjust its resources accordingly.

Employees of Vineyard Wind Services LLC that are working entirely on projects to be owned by AGR shall be offered employment by AGR on same terms as their employment terms in Vineyard Wind Services LLC within 1 month of the start of transition.

In order to retain Executive Personnel or Key Personnel employed by Vineyard Wind Services LLC, each Executive Personnel or Key Personnel named below employed by Vineyard Wind Services LLC will be offered a stay-on bonus equivalent to 25% of their total salary for the period of the transition services payable if they remain employed until the end of the transition period.

At the end of the 5 month transition period, all services provided by Copenhagen Offshore Partners A/S will be terminated with respect to Projects owned by AGR, and AGR will be responsible for paying any milestones outstanding and any termination payment to Copenhagen Offshore Partners A/S for PCW and 534 ROZ.

AGR agrees that the same service contract and bonus terms that apply for VW1 per the service and bonus agreement entered into between VW and Copenhagen Offshore Partners A/S also applies for each of the PCW Project and 534 ROZ Project individually. The commencement date of work on PCW is 1/1/2018 and COD is 12/31/2026, and the commencement date for of work on 534 ROZ is 1/1/2019 and COD is 12/31/2027.

Each of Copenhagen Offshore Partners A/S, Vineyard Wind Services LLC, AGR and CI cannot be held accountable for resignations of Executive Personnel or Key Personnel or any other personnel during the transition period, and none of the entities will be responsible for re-allocating existing or re-hiring personnel to roles left vacant due to resignations.

Following the earlier of the end of the 5 or 4-month transition period, respectively, or the appointment of a Shareholder Nominee, each of AGR and CI will allocate their resources from the list of Executive Personnel and Key Personnel to their respective Projects, as contemplated by this transaction. It is assumed that Executive Personnel and Key Personnel can work on shareholder related matters to the same extent as before the transaction and can increase such allocations as practical during the transition period without impacting transition tasks.

All costs associated to Executive Personnel and Key Personnel during the transition period will be allocated to the applicable Project (including stay-on bonus payments to Executive Personnel or Key Personnel employed by Vineyard Wind Services LLC) and borne by the respective owner.
