2.3 No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Seller and Guarantor of its obligations under this Agreement, and the performance by each Subsidiary Transferor of this Agreement, in each case including without limitation the sale of the Acquired Interests to the Purchaser, do not, and will not, (a) violate any Governmental Rule to which Seller, any Subsidiary Transferor or Guarantor is subject or the Organization Documents of Seller, any Subsidiary Transferor or Guarantor, (b) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel or require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument or other arrangement to which Seller, any Subsidiary Transferor or Guarantor is a party or by which Seller, any Subsidiary Transferor or Guarantor is bound or (c) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel or require any notice under any Material Contract, except, in the case of this clause (c), as would not reasonably be expected to be material in the context of the Wind Project or otherwise prevent or materially impair or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.5 Consents and Approvals. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.5, no consent, approval, order or Authorization of or registration, declaration or filing with or exemption by (collectively, the “Consents”) any Governmental Authority or any other Person, is required by or with respect to Seller in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller or Guarantor, or the consummation by Seller, any Subsidiary Transferor or Guarantor of the transaction contemplated hereby, except for any consents which if not obtained would not reasonably be expected to be material in the context of the Wind Project or to otherwise prevent or materially impair or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.6 Acquired Interests. Seller owns, directly or indirectly through one or more Seller Affiliates as identified in Part I of Appendix C, of record and beneficially one hundred percent (100%) of the Acquired Interests.

Seller (or, if applicable, the Subsidiary Transferors) has good and valid title to, and has, or will have, full power and authority to convey, the Acquired Interests, as of the Closing Date. The Acquired Interests have been, or will be, validly issued, and are, or will be, fully paid and non-assessable.

To the Knowledge of Seller, there has been no actual violation by Seller, any Subsidiary Transferor or Guarantor of or failure of Seller, any Subsidiary Transferor or Guarantor to comply with any Governmental Rule that is applicable to it, or allegation by any Governmental Authority of such a violation, that would reasonably be expected to be material and relates to the Wind Project or would otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impair or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Each of the representations by the Class B Member (as defined in the ECCA) pursuant to Section 3.5 of the ECCA (except for the representations or warranties contained in clauses (e), (o), (r) and (t) of Section 3.5 of the ECCA), is true and correct at and as of the date hereof and the Closing Date as if made at and as of such dates (other than any representations or warranties that are made as of a specific date, which shall be true and correct as of such date). For each of the representations by the Class B Member (as defined in the ECCA) pursuant to Section 3.5 of the ECCA that is made as of the Funding Date, no facts or circumstances as of the date hereof or the Closing Date would reasonably be expected to preclude such representation from being true and correct as of the Funding Date. For purposes of this Section 2.9, each reference in Section 3.5 of the ECCA to “the Company” (other than references to “the Company” in 3.5(q) of the ECCA) shall be treated as if it were a reference to Xxxxx’x Gap Holdco and Xxxxx’x Gap B Member LLC.

2.10 Unregistered Securities. It is not necessary in connection with the sale of the Acquired Interests, under the circumstances contemplated by this Agreement, to register such Acquired Interests under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or under any other applicable securities laws.

(ii) As set forth in Part VI of Appendix B.

(a) Minimum Limit on Claims. A party required to provide indemnification under this Article 6 (an “Indemnifying Party”) shall not be liable under this Article 6 to an Indemnified Party for any Claim for breach of any representation or warranty unless and until the aggregate amount of all Claims for which it would, in the absence of this provision, be liable exceeds the Basket Amount, and in such event the Indemnified Party will be liable for the amount of all Claims, including the Basket Amount; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the case of actual fraud by the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Maximum Limit on Claims.

(i) Limitation on Seller’s Liability. Seller’s maximum aggregate liability for Claims for breaches of representations and warranties under this Agreement is limited to Seller’s Maximum Liability set forth in Part VI of Appendix B; provided that the Seller’s Maximum Liability will not apply to any Claim based on (A) actual fraud or (B) any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, 2.9 and 2.11.

6.3 Reimbursements; Refunds.

(a) Right of Reimbursement. The amount of Losses payable under Section 6.1 by an Indemnifying Party shall be net of (i) any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person responsible therefor, and (ii) any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Losses. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person responsible for any Losses subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party and such amounts would result in a duplicative recovery, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

14

6.4 Right to Control Proceedings for Third Party Claims.

(a) If a third party shall notify any party with respect to any matter that may give rise to a Claim (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party must give notice to the Indemnifying Party of the Third Party Claim (a “Third Party Claim Notice”) within twenty (20) Business Days after it becomes aware of the existence of the Third Party Claim and that it may constitute a Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party’s failure to give a Third Party Claim Notice in compliance with this Section 6.4(a) of any Third Party Claim which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party unless, and solely to the extent that, the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim with the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, in each case at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense (provided that prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must acknowledge its indemnity obligations under this Article 6), and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with separate counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof; provided that in such event the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) if such Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to be materially detrimental to the business, reputation or future prospects of any Indemnified Party or (iii) if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party (i) fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend or fails to acknowledge its indemnity obligations under this Article 6 as provided in this Agreement, (ii) elects not to defend (or compromise at its sole cost and expense) such Third Party Claim, (iii) has elected to defend such Third Party Claim but fails to promptly and diligently pursue the defense such Third Party Claim, (iv) otherwise breaches any of its obligations under this Article 6 or (v) as set forth on Schedule 6.4(b) hereto, or if the Third Party Claim is reasonably expected by the Indemnified Party to result in a payment obligation on the Indemnified Party in an amount that exceeds the maximum indemnification then available to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 6, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of such Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party may (by written notice to the Indemnifying Party) assume control of such defense (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party) and/or compromise such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all

15

Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 6.4(c). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim that (i) does not (A) result in any liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and (B) result in the loss of any right or benefit on the part of any Indemnified Party, (ii) does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, and (iii) provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such firm offer, then the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within twenty (20) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within such twenty (20) day period and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 6.4(b), it may settle the Third Party Claim; provided that if the settlement is made without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnity obligation pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to such Third Party Claim.

6.5 Mitigation; Treatment of Indemnification.

(a) The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses relating to a Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Article 6.

(b) All indemnification payments under this Article 6 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

6.6 Exclusive Remedy. Each of Seller and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, should the Closing occur, and excluding liability for actual fraud, the foregoing indemnification provisions of this Article 6 and the provisions of Section 7.16 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and Purchaser with respect to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement (other than any Purchase Price Adjustment set forth in Part I of Appendix B) or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, effective as of the Closing each of Purchaser and Seller covenants to the other party that in respect of any matters under or contemplated in this Agreement, it will not make any Claim whatsoever against any Affiliate (other than Guarantor) of the other party or the directors, officers, managers, shareholders, member, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing, in each case in their capacities as such, and its rights in respect of any such Claim for breach of any provision of this Agreement are limited solely to such rights as it may have against Seller (and Guarantor) or Purchaser, as the case may be, under this Agreement.

(b) Any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, causes of action, disputes, controversies, and other matters in question arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the alleged breach hereof, or in any way relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the relationship between the parties created by this Agreement (hereafter, a “Dispute”) shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, including the Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes (the “Rules”) then in force to the extent such Rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. The party commencing arbitration shall deliver to the party or parties against whom a claim is made a written notice of intent to arbitrate (a “Demand”) in accordance with Rule R-4. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.

(i) Selection of Arbitrators. Disputes shall be resolved by a panel of three independent and impartial arbitrators (the “Arbitrators”). The party or parties initiating the arbitration shall appoint an arbitrator in its Demand; the responding party or parties shall appoint an arbitrator in its answering statement, which is due thirty (30) days after receipt of the Demand. If any party fails or refuses to timely nominate an arbitrator within the time permitted, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA from individuals with significant experience in renewable energy projects from its Large, Complex Commercial Case Panel. Within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, the two party-appointed arbitrators shall appoint the third arbitrator, who shall act as the chair of the arbitration panel.

18

by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party further agrees to accept service of process out of any of the before mentioned courts in any such Dispute by registered or certified mail addressed to the party at the address set forth in Part VII of Appendix B.

(iv) Conduct of the Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules and in a manner that effectuates the parties’ intent that Disputes be resolved expeditiously and with minimal expense. The Arbitrators shall endeavor to commence the arbitration hearing within one hundred eighty (180) days of the third arbitrator’s appointment.

(v) Interim Relief. Each party may apply to the Arbitrators seeking injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Each party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party, pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal (or pending the Arbitrators’ determination of the merits of the controversy).

(vi) Discovery. The Arbitrators, upon a showing of good cause, may require and facilitate such limited discovery as it shall determine is appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the needs of the parties, the burden on the parties, and the desirability of making discovery limited, expeditious, and cost-effective. The Arbitrators shall issue orders to protect the confidentiality of proprietary information, trade secrets and other sensitive information disclosed in discovery.

In assessing the costs and expenses of the arbitration and/or awarding attorneys’ fee and expenses, the Arbitrators shall consider the relative extent to which each party has prevailed on the disputed issues and the relative importance of those issues. The limitations of Section 7.15 shall apply to any award by the Arbitrators.

7.9 No Other Beneficiaries. This Agreement is being made and entered into solely for the benefit of Purchaser and Seller, and neither Purchaser nor Seller intends hereby to create any rights in favor of any other Person as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or otherwise.

The fact that any item of information is contained in a disclosure schedule shall not be construed as an admission of liability under any Governmental Rule, or to mean that such information is material. Such information shall not be used as the basis for interpreting the term “material”, “materially,” “Material Impact,” or any similar qualification in this Agreement.

7.12 Limitation of Representation and Warranties. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 2, SELLER HAS NOT MADE AND SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUIRED INTERESTS, SELLER OR SELLER AFFILIATES, THE PROJECT COMPANY, THE WIND PROJECT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
