Except as listed on Schedule 3.13, (i) each Project Company is, and during the past five (5) years has been, in material compliance with all Environmental Laws and permits issued thereunder, (ii) there are no locations or premises owned, leased or used by a Project Company where, during the period that it or an Affiliate of ONI has owned or operated the relevant Project, Hazardous Substances have been (1) shipped off-site by or for the Project Company in material violation of Environmental Laws or that require remediation or clean up pursuant to Environmental Laws, or (2) Released in material violation of Environmental Laws, (iii) (1) there has been no material Release of Hazardous Substances at any property currently owned, leased or used by a Project Company, or (2) to ONI’s Knowledge, there is no property previously owned, leased or used by a Project Company, that in the case of both clauses (1) and (2), is required or would reasonably be expected to be required to be remediated, abated or otherwise cleaned up pursuant to Environmental Laws, and (iv) none of ONI, the Company or the Project Companies has received written notice from any Governmental Authority or any other Person of an actual or potential material violation of any Environmental Laws or remediation or clean up of Hazardous Substances required thereunder.

Section 3.15 Insurance. Schedule 3.15 lists all insurance maintained for each Project by or on behalf of the Company or the respective Project Company, indicating the types of coverage, name of insurance carrier or underwriter, policy limits and expiration date of each policy. The insurance policies collectively provide full and adequate coverage for all normal risks incident to the properties, assets, management and operations of each Project and the Project Companies. Neither the Company nor any of the Project Companies has had any insurance cancelled or refused by any carrier during the time such Project Companies have been owned by ONI or its Affiliates. All of the insurance policies are in full force and effect, and neither the Company nor any of the Project Companies is in default with respect to any obligations it may have under any of the insurance policies in any material respects and premiums with respect to such insurance policies have been paid. None of ONI, ONI Guarantor, or the Company has taken any action that has rendered such insurance unenforceable. There are no unpaid claims on any insurance maintained for each Project.
Section 3.16 Real Property. The Company does not own or lease any real property. All real property owned or leased by each Project Company or to which such Project Company has rights under easements, rights of way, or in which rights are held and the title insurance maintained by such Project Company with respect to all such property, is described on Schedule 3.16.

All premiums with respect to the title insurance shown on Schedule 3.16 shall be paid on the Closing Date and, to the Knowledge of ONI, there are no circumstances that have rendered such title insurance unenforceable. For purposes of this Section 3.16, “Project Company” shall include ORNI 10 with respect to its real property interests in the Mammoth Project.
Section 3.17 Personal Property. The Company owns no personal property other than the membership interests in the Project Companies. Schedule 3.17 lists all items of personal property having a replacement cost of at least $500,000 owned by each of the Project Companies. Except as shown on Schedule 3.18, each Project Company has good and marketable title to its personal property as listed thereon. Each Project Company owns, leases or has contractual rights to use all the equipment and facilities necessary for the operations of its respective Projects as of the date hereof. To ONI’s Knowledge, the tangible assets included in the Projects are in good condition, free and clear from all defects (patent or latent), taking into account their use and age, subject to normal wear and tear, and subject to continued maintenance, repair and replacement in the ordinary course of business.
- 22 -
Section 3.18 Liens. Except as listed on Schedule 3.18, all assets owned by the Company and by each of the Project Companies are free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens or those Liens that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Schedule 3.19 lists all Material Contracts (except for those Material Contracts relating to the Steamboat 1A Project) to which the Company and each Project Company is a party. Each Material Contract is binding on the Company or the relevant Project Company, as applicable, and to ONI’s Knowledge, on the other parties thereto, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and general equitable principles. Neither the Company nor any Project Company (except Steamboat Geothermal, with respect to its power purchase agreement relating to the Steamboat 1A Project) or, to the Knowledge of ONI, any other party to a Material Contract is in default under any Material Contract and no event has occurred which, with lapse of time or action by a third party, would result in such a default under any Material Contract. No party to any of the Material Contracts has exercised any right of termination with respect thereto. The versions of the Material Contracts provided by ONI to JPM are true, correct and complete and have not been amended or modified except as disclosed in writing to JPM.

Section 3.23 Reserved.
Section 3.24 QF Status. Each of the Projects has status as a qualifying small power production facility (a “QF”) within the meaning of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as amended (“PURPA”), and FERC’s rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and each of the Projects has obtained and currently possesses qualifying facility status per the FERC’s regulations in 18 C.F.R. § 292.207. Each of the Projects is not currently subject to any pending inquiry, investigation, or challenge relating to its status as a QF. Each of the Projects uses geothermal resources as its primary energy source and each Project Company is exempt under 18 C.F.R. § 292.601 of the FERC’s regulations from the requirements of Section 203(a)(1)(A) of the FPA.

To the Knowledge of ONI, the operation of the Projects and the businesses as conducted by the Company and each Project Company does not infringe on any patent, trademark, license, service xxxx, trade name, trade secret, obligation of confidence or other proprietary, contract, intellectual property or other legally protectable right of any Person.
Section 3.26 Public Utility Holding Company. Neither ONI, the Company nor any Project Company is subject to or not exempt from regulation as a “holding company” or a “public utility company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 as amended (“PUHCA”).

Without limiting the effectiveness of any qualification contained in any other representation or warranty in this Article III, the Background Materials constitute all documents and written materials in ONI’s possession (and in the possession of the Company and the Project Companies) containing material information (exclusive of documents that contain information duplicative of information contained or incorporated in any other Background Materials) relating to the Company, the Projects and the Project Companies, and the Background Materials, when taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact concerning the Company or the Projects or the Project Companies and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. ONI has not Knowingly omitted any material fact from the Background Materials, which would be necessary to make the statements and information contained in the Background Materials, when taken in their entirety, not misleading. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.30, no representation or warranty is made with respect to any Background Materials that are in the nature of projections other than that (i) they were prepared in good faith and on the basis of assumptions that were considered reasonable by ONI at the time made, and (ii) to the extent prepared on or after January 24, 2012 (which ONI acknowledges includes the Base Case Model), ONI continues to consider to be reasonable in all material respects.

CLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF JPM
JPM represents and warrants to ONI as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date, as follows:
Section 4.1 Organization, Good Standing, Etc. JPM is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as being conducted on the date hereof.
Section 4.2 Authority. JPM has the necessary power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. All corporate actions or proceedings required to be taken by or on the part of JPM to authorize and permit the due execution and valid delivery by JPM of this Agreement and the instruments required to be duly executed and validly delivered by JPM pursuant hereto and thereto, the performance by JPM of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation by JPM of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, have been duly and properly taken. This Agreement has been duly executed and validly delivered by JPM and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of JPM, enforceable in all material respects against JPM in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability (i) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
Section 4.3 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by JPM of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which JPM is a party do not, and the performance by JPM of JPM obligations hereunder and thereunder will not, (i) violate any Applicable Law, (ii) conflict with or cause a breach of any provision of its Organizational Documents, (iii) cause a breach of, constitute a default under, cause the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, or require any authorization, consent, waiver or approval under any contract, license, instrument, decree, judgment or other arrangement to which JPM is a party or under which it is bound or to which any of its assets are subject (or result in the imposition of a Lien upon any such assets), except (in the case of this clause (iii)) for any that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) except as otherwise described in Schedule 4.3, require any notice to, filing with, or authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority, other than any such filing, authorization, consent or approval that, if not made or obtained, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
- 25 -
Section 4.4 Absence of Litigation. JPM is not subject to any pending or outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling or charge, nor is JPM threatened with being made a party to any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or investigation of, in, or before any Governmental Authority or before any arbitrator that could affect its ability to complete the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or that could have a Material Adverse Effect on the operation of the Company or any of the Project Companies.
Section 4.5 Information and Due Diligence. JPM has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from ONI concerning ONI, the Class B Membership Interest, the Company and the Project Companies, and has received or been given access to documents and information requested from ONI and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of JPM. JPM recognizes that investment in the Class B Membership Interest involves substantial risks. JPM acknowledges that any financial projections that may have been provided to it are based on assumptions of future operating results developed by ONI and ONI’s advisers and, therefore, represent an estimate of future results based on assumptions about certain events (many of which are beyond the control of ONI, the Company and the Project Companies). JPM understands that no assurances or representations can be given that the actual results of the operations of the Company and the Project Companies will conform to the projected results for any period. JPM has relied solely on its own legal, tax and financial advisers for its evaluation of an investment in the Class B Membership Interest and not on the advice of ONI or the Company or any of their respective legal, tax or financial advisers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 4.5 shall modify or negate any representations or warranties made by ONI herein or preclude reliance thereon by JPM.
Section 4.6 Information and Investment Intent. JPM is an “Accredited Investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. JPM understands that the Class B Membership Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance on an exemption therefrom, and that the Class B Membership Interest must be held indefinitely unless the sale thereof is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available thereunder, and that ONI is under no obligation to register the Class B Membership Interest. JPM is acquiring the Class B Membership Interest for its own account and not for the account of any other Person and not with a view to distribution to others.
Section 4.7 Security Interest. JPM has not pledged or otherwise encumbered any right, title or interest in or to the Class B Membership Interest.
Section 4.8 Public Utility Holding Company. JPM is not subject to regulation as a “holding company” or a “public utility company” within the meaning of PUHCA.
- 26 -
Section 4.9 No Other ONI Representations. Except with respect to the representations and warranties of ONI in Article III, the Company LLC Agreement and the Management Services Agreement, none of ONI, the Company or any of the Project Companies has made any representation or warranty, either express or implied, hereunder or in any of the other Transaction Documents, nor has JPM relied on any representation or warranty not expressly made herein or therein. Without limiting the foregoing, JPM acknowledges that none of ONI, the Company or any of the Project Companies has made any representation or warranty, nor has JPM relied on any representation or warranty, with respect to JPM’s, the Company’s or any of the Project Companies’ eligibility to claim PTCs except with respect to the representations and warranties of ONI in Section 3.6 and Sections 3.9(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (p), (s), (t), (u), (v) and (w). JPM represents, warrants and agrees that it will not bring any claim against ONI, the Company or any of the Project Companies relating to JPM’s, the Company’s or any of the Project Companies’ eligibility to claim PTCs, except pursuant to the Company LLC Agreement with respect to Class B Member Indemnified Costs described in clause (ii) of the definition “Class B Member Indemnified Costs”. JPM specifically acknowledges that, except as stated in Section 3.30, no representation or warranty has been made and that JPM has not relied on any representation or warranty about the accuracy of any projections, estimates or budgets, future revenues, future results from operations, future cash flows, the future condition of the Projects or any assets of the Project Companies, the future financial condition of the Project Companies, or any other information or documents made available to JPM or its counsel, accountants or other advisors.
Section 4.10 Tax Matters. JPM is (i) a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code; (ii) not a “tax-exempt entity” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code; and (iii) an Unrelated Person.

The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Member, in its capacity as a member or manager of the Company or otherwise, otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Member.
(d) Ormat, in its capacity as a Member, Managing Member or Manager, shall not have any liability for breach of contract (except as provided in (i) and (ii) below) or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties) of a member or manager to the Company or to any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act; provided, that (i) this Agreement shall not limit or eliminate liability for any (x) obligations expressly imposed on Ormat, as Member, Managing Member or Manager, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (y) act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing or (z) fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence and (ii) this Section 3.6(d) shall not limit or eliminate liabilities expressly stated in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(e) Liability to the Company, any Class B Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement for damages resulting from a breach or breaches by (i) the Manager of any of its obligations, covenants or agreements under the Management Services Agreement or (ii) by the Operator of any of its obligations, covenants or agreements under any O&M Agreement shall be separate and distinct from liabilities of Ormat in its capacity as a Class A Member; and damages resulting from such breach or breaches shall not be subject to the same aggregate indemnification limitations contained in Article XI regarding Class B Member Indemnified Costs.
Section 3.7 No Liability for Deficits. Except to the extent otherwise provided by law with respect to third-party creditors of the Company and in Section 10.2(g), none of the Members shall be liable to the Company for any deficit in its Capital Account, nor shall such deficits be deemed assets of the Company.
- 7 -
Section 3.8 Company Property. All property owned by the Company, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible and wherever located, shall be deemed to be owned by the Company, and no Member, individually, shall have any ownership of such property.
Section 3.9 Retirement, Resignation, Expulsion, Incompetency, Bankruptcy or Dissolution of a Member. The retirement, resignation, expulsion, Bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member shall not, in and of itself, dissolve the Company. The successors in interest to the bankrupt Member shall, for the purpose of settling the estate, have all of the rights of such Member, including the same rights and subject to the same limitations that such Member would have had under the provisions of this Agreement to Transfer its Membership Interest. A successor in interest to a Member shall not become a substituted Member except as provided in this Agreement.
Section 3.10 Withdrawal of Capital. No Member shall have the right to withdraw capital from the Company or to receive or demand distributions (except as to distributions of Distributable Cash as set forth in Article VI) or return of its Capital Contributions until the Company is dissolved in accordance with this Agreement and applicable provisions of the Act. No Member shall be entitled to demand or receive any interest on its Capital Contributions.

(b) That Member has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and the other documents contemplated herein, and they constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of that Member enforceable against it in accordance with their terms (except as may be limited by Bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of general application and by the effect of general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered at law or in equity).
(c) That Member’s authorization, execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement does not and will not (i) conflict with, or result in a breach, default or violation of, (A) the Organizational Documents of such Member, (B) any material contract or agreement to which that Member is a party or is otherwise subject, or (C) any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, writ, injunction or arbitral award to which that Member is subject; or (ii) require any consent, approval or authorization from, filing or registration with, or notice to, any Governmental Body or other Person, unless such requirement has already been satisfied.

(g) That Member is an “Accredited Investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). That Member has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning the Membership Interests and the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of that Member.

(d) The Capital Account balances and Capital Interest of each Member on the Closing Date are shown in Schedule 4.2(d).

Section 4.3 Capital Contributions of the Class B Member.
(a) Subject to Section 4.3(b) below, on each Contribution Date, the Class B Member shall contribute an amount equal to the applicable PTC Payment Rate as set forth in Schedule 4.3(b) multiplied by the dollar amount of PTCs actually allocated to the Class B Member (as set forth in the applicable PTC Report) in excess of the PTC Threshold Amount as set forth in Schedule 4.3(b) applicable for such period; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate obligation of the Class B Member to make contributions to the Company under this Section 4.3 shall not exceed $11 million.
(b) Without limiting its obligation under Section 4.3(a), if (i) the Class B Member cannot determine the amount of the Capital Contribution it is required to make on any Contribution Date under Section 4.3(a) because the applicable PTC Report has not been delivered to such Class B Member as required pursuant to Section 7.1(f), (ii) a good faith dispute pursuant to Section 7.1(g) is ongoing with the Class B Member with respect to the calculation of items in a PTC Report or (iii) a good faith dispute pursuant to Section 13.11(b) is ongoing with such Class B Member as to whether the Flip Date has occurred, the Class B Member’s obligation to make such Capital Contribution shall automatically be extended, without any interest accruing thereon as a result of such delay, until, with respect to clause (i) above within 15 days following the delivery of such PTC Report or, with respect to clauses (ii) or (iii) above, resolution of such dispute pursuant to Section 7.1(g) or Section 13.11(b), as applicable. If the Class B Member makes a Capital Contribution on a Contribution Date based upon an estimate of PTCs generated and allocated to the Class B Member that is later determined to be greater or lesser than the actual PTCs generated and allocated to the Class B Member, then the PTC Amount shall be reduced or increased as set forth in Schedule 4.3(b). In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (i) the Class A Member, in its capacity as the Managing Member, shall have breached Section 8.3, any covenant contained in Article XII in any material respect and such breach shall not have been cured, otherwise remedied, or waived or (ii) the Class A Member shall have breached any of its representations and warranties under Article III of the Contribution Agreement, under Section 3.11 hereof or breached its covenant under Article V of the Contribution Agreement or Article XII hereof and such breach has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or has or is reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect with respect to the Class B Member, then upon the occurrence of any of the preceding in clause (i) or (ii), the Class B Member shall have no obligation to make any Capital Contributions under Section 4.3(a) until such breach or default shall have been cured, remedied or waived, in which case, the Class B Member shall be obligated to make all Capital Contributions which it would have been required to make under Section 4.3(a) no later than 30 days following the cure, remedy or waiver of such breach or default and no interest shall accrue on any such obligations during such period.
(c) In the event that the Class B Members fail to make any Capital Contribution under Section 4.3(a) within 20 Business Days from the date such Capital Contribution is required to be made in accordance with Section 4.3(a) (subject to any extension or suspension of such obligation under Section 4.3(b) and any ongoing dispute pursuant to Section 7.1(g) or Section 13.11(b), a “Class B Contribution Default”) (such undisputed amount being a “Class B Defaulted Contribution”), the Company shall distribute to the Class A Member the distributions of Distributable Cash otherwise distributable (assuming no Class B Defaulted Contribution had occurred) to the defaulting Class B Members under Section 6.1 in an amount up to the Class B Defaulted Contribution. Effective immediately upon the occurrence of a Class B Contribution Default, and for as long thereafter as such Class B Contribution Default shall be continuing, the Class B Defaulted Contribution then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate that is equal to 8%, calculated on a per annum basis, and such amounts shall be immediately due and payable by the Class B Members upon the Class A Member’s demand.

(d) All payments required to be made under this Section 4.3 shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds.
Section 4.4 Capex Contribution

Ormat, or any Affiliate of Ormat, may make (but will have no obligation to make) loans to the Company or any Project Company, when and as needed (as determined by the Managing Member and without any requirement for consent or other action by any Class B Member), sufficient to cover working capital, maintenance and other similar expenditure needs of the Company or any of the Project Companies in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $5 million for the Company and all Project Companies, combined (any such loan, a “Working Capital Loan”). All Working Capital Loans shall be unsecured and repaid out of available cash flow of the Company (if the Company is the borrower) or the relevant Project Company (if such Project Company is the borrower) before any distributions of Distributable Cash to members of such entity. Any Working Capital Loans made by Ormat or an Affiliate of Ormat shall (a) be evidenced by a note substantially in form of Exhibit F hereto and (b) otherwise be on terms equivalent in all material respects to loans that would be available from a third party lender that is not an Affiliate of Ormat.
Section 4.6 OFC and OrCal Senior Notes.
(a) Subject to Section 4.6(c), upon the occurrence of an OFC Senior Notes Trigger Event prior to the Flip Date, the Class A Member shall have the option, but not the obligation, to (x) pay all or any portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the OFC Senior Notes which payment may include a Cure Loan, or provide a guaranty to guarantee the indebtedness under the OFC Senior Notes so long as such payment or guaranty results in the cure or waiver of the applicable default under the OFC Senior Notes, or (y) purchase all the outstanding Class B Membership Interests for a purchase price in cash in an amount equal the higher of (I) the fair market value of such Class B Membership Interests, as determined by the Appraiser, and (II) an amount that preserves the Target Internal Rate of Return.

(d) In the event that the Class B Member exercises its rights under Section 4.6(c)(ii) above, Class A Member shall cooperate with the Company to cause the transfer to the Class B Member (or its designees), all of the Company’s ownership interests in either OrCal (following a Senior Note Default under the OrCal Senior Notes) or OFC (following a Senior Note Default under the OFC Senior Notes), as the case may be (the “Class A Membership Interests Transfer”); provided that prior to or simultaneously with the Class A Membership Interests Transfer and as a condition thereto, the Class A Member, and all of their Affiliates (which shall in all cases include any party to any guaranty executed in connection therewith) shall be released from all obligations (other than indemnities and any other obligations that by their terms do not expire upon the payment in full of the obligations of Ormat Funding Corporation under the OFC Senior Notes and/or OrCal Geothermal, LLC under the OrCal Senior Notes or the termination or expiration of the applicable agreement) under the applicable Senior Notes. The Class A Member agrees that, in connection with Class A Membership Interests Transfer, all transfers of the applicable membership interests shall be made free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except for obligations or restrictions imposed under this Agreement, the Senior Notes and the Transaction Documents, and the Class A Member agrees to take, and to cause the Company to take, all other actions (including obtaining any necessary consents) and do, or cause to be done, all other actions necessary and reasonably requested by the Class B Member (or its applicable Affiliates) to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

- 14 -
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no allocations of items of loss or deductions shall be made to a Member if such allocation would cause such Member to have or increase the deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account; provided, however, that once the deficit in the Class B Member’s Adjusted Capital Account has been eliminated, no allocation will be made to the Class B Member that would result in the recurrence of a deficit in the Class B Member’s Adjusted Capital Account; provided, further, that if there is deficit balance in the Capital Account of the Class B Member after the later of (i) the Flip Date or (ii) December 31, 2016, items of income will be allocated to the Class B Member in the largest amount possible and items of loss will be allocated to the Class A Member to the extent necessary (in each case subject to the limitation that any such allocation shall not result in less than 5% of any item of income for any taxable year being allocated to the Class B Member or less than 1% of any item of income or loss for any taxable year being allocated to the Class A Member (the “Safe Harbor Limitation”) in order to eliminate such deficit balance as quickly as possible; and provided, further, that after the later of (i) the Flip Date or (ii) December 31, 2016, if the Class A Member has a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account, then items of income and gain will be allocated to the Class A Member in the largest amount possible and subject to the first proviso of this Section, items of loss and deduction will be allocated to the Class B Member, to the extent necessary, in each case subject to the Safe Harbor Limitation, in order to eliminate such deficit balance as quickly as possible. Any items of loss or deduction that if allocated to a Member would cause or increase a deficit in that Member’s Capital Account in excess of the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to Section 10.2(g) shall instead be allocated to the other Member subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence; provided, that with the consent of the Class B Member and to the extent consistent with the Safe Harbor Limitation and Section 704(b) of the Code, to the extent losses are reallocated to the Class A Member such losses will be reallocated in the following priority: (w) interest expense, (x) depletion of the Steam Resource (other than excess percentage depletion of the Steam Resource within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iii), which for the avoidance of doubt shall be allocated in accordance with Section 5.1(c)(ii)), (y) any other items of loss or deduction other than depreciation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any intangible drilling and development costs deductible pursuant to Section 263(c) of the Code) and (z) depreciation deductions.
Section 5.2 Adjustments. The following adjustments will be made in the allocations in Section 5.1 in the following order of priority to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b):
(a) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Tax Year, each Member will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Tax Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Tax Years), to the extent if such income and gain, in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(2) and as set forth in the Base Case Model, except to the extent any exception contained in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) applies. The items of Company income or gain to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This subsection (a) is intended to comply with, and will be applied and interpreted consistent with, such sections of the Treasury Regulations.
- 15 -
(b) If there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Tax Year, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3), then, except as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), each Member who has a share of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5), will be allocated items of income and gain for such Tax Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Tax Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. The items of Company income or gain to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This subsection (b) is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and will be applied and interpreted in accordance with such Treasury Regulation.
(c) Nonrecourse Deductions will be allocated among the members in the same proportions as the allocations of income and loss were made for the Tax Year pursuant to Section 5.1. The Members intend that these allocations will follow the allocations of significant items of partnership income and loss allocable to property securing the indebtedness and will be reasonably consistent with allocations that have substantial economic effect and in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3).
(d) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions will be allocated in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions relate.
(e) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) resulting in any deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account, items of income and gain will be specially allocated to such Member in any amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account as quickly as possible. The items of income or gain to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). This subsection (e) is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be applied and interpreted in accordance with such Treasury Regulation; provided, that the special allocation pursuant to this subsection (e) will be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account balance after all of the other special allocations provided for in this Section 5.2 have been tentatively made as if this subsection (e) were not in this Agreement.
(f) No items of loss or deduction will be allocated to any Member to the extent that any such allocation would cause the Member to have, or increase the amount of, an existing deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Tax Year. All items of loss or deduction in excess of the limitation set forth in this subsection (f) will be allocated among such other Members that have positive Adjusted Capital Accounts, pro rata, in proportion to such Adjusted Capital Accounts, until each such Member’s positive Adjusted Capital Account is reduced to zero; provided, that this subsection (f) will apply only to the extent that such Member would have a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account after all of the other allocations provided for in this Section 5.2 have been tentatively made as if this subsection (f) and subsection (e) above were not in this Agreement.
- 16 -
(g) In the event any Member has a deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Tax Year, each such Member will be specially allocated items of income and gain as quickly as possible to eliminate such deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this subsection (g) will be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account in excess of such sum after all of the other allocations provided for in Section 5.1 and this Section 5.2 have been tentatively made as if this subsection (g) and subsection (e) above were not in this Agreement.
(h) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Sections 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required to be taken into account in determining the Capital Accounts of the Members under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss will be specially allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) as contemplated by Section 5.2(j).
(i) The allocations required by Section 5.2(a) through (h) are intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b), 1.704-1(d)(4) and 1.704-2. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent the Company can do so consistently with the Treasury Regulations, the net amount of the allocations under this Article V to each Member will be the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if this Agreement did not contain Section 5.2(a) through (h).
(j) Upon a transfer of a Company asset that constitutes “capital gain property” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.755-1(a)(1), then notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2 or Section 10.2, any item of gain resulting from such transfer shall be allocated first to any Member that has a deficit in its Capital Account and thereafter as set forth in Sections 5.1(a) and (b). For the avoidance of doubt, gain for purposes of this Section 5.2(j) shall not include any gain for which Sections 1245(a)(1) or 1250(a) of the Code would apply.
Section 5.3 Tax Allocations.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.3, for federal, state and local income tax purposes each item of income, gain, deduction and loss of the Company will be allocated to the Members in the same manner as the correlative item computed for purposes of the Capital Accounts is allocated and credited or debited pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of income, gain, deduction or loss or items thereof or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
- 17 -
(b) In order to remove book/tax discrepancies attributable to an asset contributed to the Company by a Member or with respect to which an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value was made pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction will be allocated solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes as follows:
(i) Items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company (including income, gain, loss and deduction determined with respect to the alternative minimum tax) will be allocated among the Members in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value. The Company will use the “remedial method” described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d).
(ii) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” subsequent allocations of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset will take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset (including such adjusted basis for alternative minimum tax purposes) and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and, if such property was originally contributed to the Company by a Member, will be allocated in accordance with subsection (i) above.
(c) If any portion of gain recognized from the disposition of an asset by the Company represents the “recapture” of previously allocated deductions by virtue of the application of Section 1245 or 1250 of the Code (“Recapture Gain”), such Recapture Gain will be allocated, solely for income tax purposes in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1245-1(e)(2) and (3) and 1.1250-1(f).
(d) To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Company is made pursuant to Section 743(b) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of a Membership Interest in the Company, any adjustment will affect the transferee only and will not affect the Capital Account of the transferring Member or the transferee. In such case, the transferee will be required to agree to provide to the Company (i) information about the allocation of any step-up or step-down in basis to the assets of the Company and (ii) the depreciation or amortization method for any step-up in basis to the assets of the Company.
Section 5.4 Other Allocation Rules.
(a) In the event a Member Transfers its Membership Interest during a Tax Year, the allocation of Company items of income and loss allocated to such Member and its transferee for such Tax Year will be made between such Member and its transferee in accordance with Section 706 of the Code using any convention permitted by such Section 706 of the Code and selected by the Managing Member.
- 18 -
(b) The Members agree that excess Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company allocated to the Members under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) will be allocated in accordance with their respective shares of income and loss under Section 5.1(a). The allocations required by this subsection (b) are intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) and Revenue Ruling 95-41.
(c) To the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(h)(3) and 1.704-2(i)(6), the Members will endeavor to treat distributions of Distributable Cash as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent such distribution would cause or increase a deficit in the Adjusted Capital Account for any member.
(d) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Company shall not treat any portion of the Existing Indebtedness as “recourse” debt for purposes of Section 752 of the Code or Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2 as a result of the obligation of any Member to make contributions of cash to the Company under Article IV of this Agreement.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, income and interest accrued on the Existing Indebtedness prior to the Closing Date and cash from the operation of the Projects prior to the Closing Date (including cash trapped in any reserve account) shall be for the sole account of the Class A Member and shall not be subject to the allocation provisions set forth in this Article V or the distribution provisions set forth in Article VI.

If the Company is required to withhold taxes with respect to any allocation or distribution of Distributable Cash to any Member pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local tax laws, the Company may, after first notifying the Member and permitting the Member, if legally permitted, to contest the applicability of such taxes, withhold such amounts and make such payments to taxing authorities as are necessary to ensure compliance with such tax laws. Any funds withheld by reason of this Section 6.2 shall nonetheless be deemed distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Company did not withhold from actual distributions of Distributable Cash any amounts it was required to withhold, the Company may, at its option, (i) require the Member to which the withholding was credited to reimburse the Company for such withholding, or (ii) reduce any subsequent distributions of Distributable Cash by the amount of such withholding. This obligation of a Member to reimburse the Company for taxes that were required to be withheld shall continue after such Member Transfers its Membership Interests in the Company. Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Company to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have.
Section 6.3 Limitation upon Distributions. No distribution or deemed distribution of Distributable Cash shall be made: (a) if such distribution of Distributable Cash would violate any contract or agreement to which the Company is then a party or any Legal Requirement then applicable to the Company, (b) to the extent that the Managing Member determines, in accordance with the Prudent Operator Standard, that any amount otherwise distributable should be retained by the Company to pay, or to establish a reserve for the payment of, any liability or obligation of the Company or any Project Company, whether liquidated, fixed, contingent or otherwise, or to hedge an existing investment, including funding reserve accounts for spare parts and operational and maintenance costs for the Projects, or (c) to the extent that the Managing Member, in accordance with the Prudent Operator Standard, determines that the Distributable Cash is insufficient to permit such distribution or deemed distribution.
- 20 -
Section 6.4 No Return of Distributions. Any distribution of Distributable Cash or deemed distribution or property pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a compromise within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any Member receiving or deemed to receive the payment of any such money or distribution of any such property shall not be required to return any such money or property to any Person, the Company or any creditor of the Company. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to return such money or property, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of the other Members. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a deficit Capital Account of a Member shall not be deemed to be a liability of such Member nor an asset or property of the Company.
Section 6.5 Substitute Payments. If the Company or any Project Company receives any payments designated as compensation for any lost electrical production (including, without limitation, PTCs associated with such lost electrical production and any gross up amounts related thereto) relating to the construction, development, maintenance, testing and/or operation of any of the Projects (including any payment or indemnity received pursuant to Section 12.1 or any power purchase agreement with respect to any curtailment thereunder but excluding any payment of liquidated damages), the Managing Member shall determine the characterization of such payment (i.e., as a payment for lost PTCs or a payment for lost revenues under a power purchase agreement) and shall distribute such payment to the Members as appropriate, it being understood and agreed by the Members that a payment characterized as a payment for lost PTCs shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with the ratios set forth in Section 5.1 and all items of income associated therewith shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Section 5.1, and a payment characterized as a payment for lost revenues under a power purchase agreement shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with the ratios set forth in Section 6.1; provided that any such determination, and any amendments to this Agreement required to implement such determination, shall be subject to obtaining the consent of the Members.

Section 7.11 Target Internal Rate of Return Determination.
(a) Quarterly Determinations. Prior to the Flip Date, the Managing Member will cause the Manager to (i) calculate using the Tracking Model at least quarterly whether the Class B Member has reached the Target Internal Rate of Return and (ii) send the Class B Member, within 45 days after the end of each Quarter in which the Target Internal Rate of Return was not achieved, a report in the form of the Target IRR Report showing where it believes the Class B Member is in relation to the Target Internal Rate of Return. The Managing Member will make its advisers available to answer any questions regarding the calculations contained in any such Target IRR Report.
(b) Occurrence of Flip Date. If the Manager determines, in the manner provided in this Section 7.11, that the Flip Date has occurred, the Managing Member will notify the Class B Member in writing at least ten days before the Distribution Date following the month in which it believes the Class B Member achieved the Target Internal Rate of Return or at least 30 days before making any liquidating distributions, in connection with a liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 10.2, if it believes the Class B Member will achieve the Target Internal Rate of Return as a consequence of the liquidating distributions. The notice will include the Target IRR Report showing the Managing Member’s calculations and, in the case of a notice delivered in connection with a liquidation, the allocations and distributions that the Managing Member proposes to make to the Class B Member under Section 10.2 in light of the calculations. The Managing Member will make its advisers available to answer any questions about the calculations contained in any such Target IRR Report.
(c) Calculation Rules and Conventions. The Managing Member will employ the following calculation rules and conventions in determining whether the Class B Member has reached the Target Internal Rate of Return:
(i) Continuity of Ownership. The Managing Member will treat ownership of the Class B Membership Interests as being continuous from the Closing Date to the relevant testing date as of which the calculation is being made without regard to any change in ownership of the Class B Membership Interests during such period.
- 29 -
(ii) Cash Flows. The “Cash Flows” taken into account in determining the Internal Rate of Return will consist solely of (A) the Capital Contributions made by the Class B Member for the Class B Membership Interests on the Closing Date and the Capital Contributions required to be made pursuant to Section 4.3, which for purposes of determining Cash Flows to calculate Internal Rate of Return will be deemed to have been made in all circumstances in accordance with Section 4.3, (B) out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Class B Member in connection with any event that is the subject of a Direct Claim that the Class A Member is required to pay, including amounts relating to the enforcement of such Direct Claim or the defense of any third party claim against the Class B Member, (C) distributions to the Class B Member made on any (1) Distribution Date pursuant to Section 6.1 or (2) date of distribution of liquidation proceeds pursuant to Section 10.2(e) (or to be made on the Distribution Date or date of distribution of liquidation proceeds as of which the Internal Rate of Return is being determined), (D) subject to the proviso contained in the last sentence hereof, indemnity payments and cost and expense reimbursements received by a Class B Member from the Company or the Class A Member and (E) the Grossed-Up PTC Amount based on the PTCs received by the Class B Member determined in accordance with subsection (iii) of this Section 7.11(c) to be received on any Estimated Tax Payment Date. Any amount received by the Class B Member which is in the nature of a recovery or replacement of, or indemnity or compensation for, and is the substantial economic equivalent of an item which would otherwise be taken into account in the foregoing clauses (A) through (E) will be deemed received for purposes of the calculation of the Internal Rate of Return on the date so received by such Class B Member; provided, however that, any payments received pursuant to Article XI for lost depreciation deductions, other deductions and losses and credits other than PTCs shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the Internal Rate of Return in accordance with this Section 7.11(c)(ii).
(iii) PTCs
1. PTC Amounts will be calculated on the basis of the Fixed Tax Assumptions, unless any Fixed Tax Assumption is incorrect as the result of the breach of a representation or covenant by the Class A Member in this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement. The Fixed Tax Assumptions will apply without regard to any changes in law and irrespective of any determination as to whether such assumptions were correct when made or whether any assumed or resulting tax treatment is allowable on or at any time after the Closing Date. In all other respects PTC Amounts for any taxable period will be calculated based on the amounts actually realized or deemed to be realized under subsection (B) below in accordance with the federal income tax accounting methods and tax elections actually used with respect to such period by the Company in the preparation of its federal income tax reports and returns, or as adjusted as a result of any amended return or federal income tax audit of the Company (other than any adjustments in an amended return or as a result of a federal income tax audit resulting in any change in the Fixed Tax Assumptions except to the extent the Fixed Tax Assumption is incorrect as the result of the breach of a representation or covenant by the Class A Member in this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement) and taking into account any change in the PTC reference price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the calculation of PTC Amounts shall not take into account Section 199 of the Code.
- 30 -
2. Any PTCs and any adjustments to such items from a period after the Closing Date (without regard to adjustments to PTCs that result from the inaccuracy of a Fixed Tax Assumption, except to the extent such inaccuracy results from the breach of a representation or covenant by the Class A Member in this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement) allocable to the Class B Membership Interests will be deemed to produce Grossed-Up PTC Amounts on the Estimated Tax Payment Dates (to be spread in four equal installments across the applicable Estimated Tax Payment Periods) for the Taxable Year in which such PTCs arise without regard to any provision of law limiting, restricting, deferring or disallowing such PTCs that are applicable to the Class B Member as opposed to the Company and without regard to the existence of tax liability against which the Class B Member is permitted to offset such PTC.
3. With respect to any calendar year which has not ended prior to the date as of which the calculation is being made, the Grossed-Up PTC Amounts allocable to the Class B Member for the portion of such year as has been completed (as of the end of the month immediately preceding such date) shall be allocated ratably and treated as having been allocated on the Estimated Tax Payment Dates for such Taxable Year, including Estimated Tax Payment Dates which fall subsequent to the date. In any case in which Grossed-Up PTC Amounts are deemed to be received after such date of distribution of liquidation proceeds, such Grossed-Up PTC Amounts shall be included in the calculation of the Target Internal Rate of Return on such future Estimated Tax Payment Date(s).
(d) End-of-Year True Up. If, for reasons other than inaccuracy of the Fixed Tax Assumptions (unless they are incorrect as a result of breach of a representation or covenant by the Class A Member) or the calculation assumptions and conventions in Section 7.11(c), the federal income tax return that the Company files for the Fiscal Year in which the Target Internal Rate of Return is achieved suggests that the Target Internal Rate of Return was not achieved in the month that the Company assumed, then the Managing Member will recalculate when the Target Internal Rate of Return was achieved and send a new notice that includes the Target IRR Report showing the Managing Member’s calculations to the Class B Member. The Managing Member will also calculate the shortfall in or excess Distributable Cash, in present value terms using the Target Internal Rate of Return as the discount rate, that the Members received as a consequence of the earlier miscalculation (the “Cash Difference”). Any Member that received actual distributions in excess of the recomputed distributions will reimburse the Company by the next Distribution Date following receipt of notification of such excess distributions. The Company will redistribute the reimbursed excess distribution in accordance with the recomputed distributions. If such Member does not reimburse the Company by the next Distribution Date following receipt of notification of excess distributions, the Company may elect to either (i) xxx the defaulting Member for any amounts due or (ii) withhold any cash distributions to be made to such Member until the Cash Difference has been eliminated.
- 31 -
(e) Curative Flip Allocations. If, for reasons other than inaccuracy of the Fixed Tax Assumptions (unless they are incorrect as a result of breach of a representation or covenant by the Class A Member) or the calculation assumptions and conventions in Section 7.11(c), after filing the federal income tax return for the year in which the Company treated the Target Internal Rate of Return as having been achieved, there is a change in PTCs the Company reported for the period through the end of the month in which the Target Internal Rate of Return was assumed to have occurred, and the Company has not yet made liquidating distributions under Section 10.2, then there will be a “Curative Flip Allocation.” The Managing Member will determine the shortfall between the Target Internal Rate of Return and the Internal Rate of Return the Class B Members actually achieved through the last Distribution Date the Company distributed cash under Section 6.l(a). The sharing percentages in Section 6.1 will be adjusted for subsequent distributions to the maximum extent necessary to restore the Class B Member to the Target Internal Rate of Return as of such date; provided that in no event shall such sharing percentages be adjusted to less than (i) five percent for the Class B Member or (ii) one percent for the Class A Member. Such change in sharing percentages shall remain in effect until, and to the extent necessary so that, the difference between the Target Internal Rate of Return and the actual Internal Rate of Return shall have been eliminated. The Internal Rate of Return the Class B Member actually achieved will be calculated using the Fixed Tax Assumptions (unless they are incorrect as a result of breach of a representation or covenant by the Class A Member) and the calculation assumptions and conventions in Section 7.11(c). If an event occurs (prior to the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation for Taxable Years including or ending prior to the Flip Date with respect to the Class B Member) that would have triggered a Curative Flip Allocation but for the fact that the Class A Member has already purchased the Class B Membership Interests pursuant to Section 9.6 of this Agreement, then the Class A Member will pay in cash, within 30 days of the occurrence of such event, the economic equivalent of the Curative Flip Allocation as additional consideration for the purchase of the Class B Membership Interests.
(f) Disputes. Any dispute by the Class B Member of any item or procedure or calculation of, or which affects, the Target Internal Rate of Return contained in any notice or report delivered to the Class B Member will be disputed in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Section 13.11.

Section 8.5 Insurance. The Managing Member shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to acquire and maintain (including making changes to coverage and carriers) the casualty, general liability (including product liability), property damage and/or other types of insurance set forth in Schedule 8.5; provided that, if any such insurance is not available on commercially reasonable terms (which shall be to the reasonable satisfaction of the Class B Member, provided that if the Class B Member does not provide a written response manifesting an unambiguous agreement or disagreement within ten Business Days of notification of such determination the Class B Member shall be deemed to be in agreement), the Managing Member shall cause the Company to establish reasonably satisfactory self insurance reserves and replacement third party insurance shall be procured as soon as commercially reasonable terms are available. The Members shall be added to such insurance as named insured and loss payee as their interests may appear (except for any workers’ compensation policy), with a waiver of subrogation permitted in their favor (where legally permitted or insurance market practice permits). Unless the insurance required to be carried pursuant to this Schedule 8.5 requires the insurer to provide the Members with at least 30 days written notice of cancellation (ten days for non-payment of premium), the Managing Member hereby covenants and agrees to give the Class B Members at least 30 days written notice of cancellation (ten days for non-payment of premium) to the extent that it receives such notice from the insurer.

DISSOLUTION AND
WINDING-UP
Section 10.1 Events of Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of any of the following:
(a) the written consent of the Members representing a Super-Majority Vote to dissolve and terminate the Company;
(b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act;
(c) the occurrence of the Termination Date;
(d) the disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s business and assets;
(e) the issuance of a final, nonappealable court order which makes it unlawful for the business of the Company to be carried on; or
(f) at any time there are no Members of the Company unless the business of the Company is continued in accordance with the Act.
Section 10.2 Distribution of Assets.
(a) The Members hereby appoint the Managing Member to act as the liquidator upon the occurrence of one of the events in Section 10.1. Upon the occurrence of such an event, the liquidator will proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The liquidator may sell, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best possible price for the sale of any or all Company property, including to Members. In no event, without the approval of Members by Super-Majority Vote of Members, will a sale to a Member be for an amount that is less than fair market value (determined by the Appraisal Method if the Members (by Super-Majority Vote) are unable to agree on the fair market value).
- 40 -
(b) The liquidator will first pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including the Working Capital Loans and all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine) in the order of priority as provided by law.
(c) Following the distribution in Section 10.2(b), all assets of the Company will be treated as if sold, and the gain or loss treated as realized on those assets will be allocated first to Members with deficits in their Adjusted Capital Accounts (in the ratio of the deficits if more than one Member’s Adjusted Capital Account is in deficit) in order to eliminate the deficits.
(d) Remaining gain or loss will be allocated next among the Members in an effort to set the Capital Account of each Class B Member at a level that would allow it to reach the Target Internal Rate of Return out of the liquidating distributions if the Target Internal Rate of Return has not already been achieved, and thereafter among the Members in the ratio in Section 5.1(b).
(e) After the allocations in clauses (c) and (d) have been made, then Distributable Cash and property will be distributed pro rata to the Members in the amount of the positive balances in their Capital Accounts by the end of the Tax Year during which the liquidation occurs (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation).
(f) The distribution of Distributable Cash and property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member on its Membership Interests in the Company of all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act. If the assets of the Company remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company are insufficient to return Capital Contributions of each Member, such Member shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member.
(g) If a Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all Tax Years including the Tax Year in which the liquidation and dissolution occurs) the Member shall be obligated to contribute cash to the Company in an amount equal to such deficit balance by the end of the Tax Year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs, or if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation; provided, however, that the restoration obligation of the Class B Member shall not exceed $4,000,000 and the restoration obligation of the Class A Member shall not exceed $0; provided, further, that once the deficit in the Class B Member’s Capital Account has reached $4,000,000 and thereafter is reduced in any amount in any Tax Year, then the restoration obligation of the Class B Member shall not exceed the remaining outstanding deficit in the Class B Member’s Capital Account. Each Member shall have the right at its sole option to increase the amount of its restoration obligation in this Section 10.2(g).
- 41 -
Section 10.3 In-Kind Distributions. There shall be no distribution of assets of the Company in kind without the prior Super-Majority Vote of the Members.
Section 10.4 Certificate of Cancellation.
(a) When all debts, liabilities and obligations have been paid and discharged or adequate provisions have been made therefor and all of the remaining property and assets have been distributed to the Members, a certificate of cancellation of the Certificate of Formation (the “Certificate of Cancellation”) shall be executed and filed by the liquidator with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which certificate shall set forth the information required by Section 18-203 of the Act.
(b) Upon the filing of the Certificate of Cancellation, the existence of the Company shall cease.
(c) All costs and expenses in fulfilling the obligations under this Section 10.4 shall be borne by the Company.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 11.1 Indemnifications.
(a) The Class A Member agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Class B Member Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Class B Member Indemnified Costs.
(b) No claim for indemnification may be made with respect to any breach (other than failure to pay an amount due) unless and until the aggregate amount of claims for which indemnification is (or previously has been) sought exceeds $300,000; provided that, once such threshold amount of claims has been reached, the relevant Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified for all such claims, including amounts that were not previously paid because such threshold amount had not been reached.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Class A Members’ indemnification obligations shall survive the Transfer of any Class A Membership Interests, to the extent that any claim for indemnification by a Class B Member Indemnified Party relates to the period of time prior to such Transfer.
Section 11.2 Direct Claims. In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under Section 11.1 which is not subject to Section 11.3 because no Third Party Claim is involved (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any amounts which such Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms of this Article XI. The failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim, except to the extent the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.
- 42 -
Section 11.3 Third Party Claims.
(a) An Indemnified Party shall give written notice to any Indemnifying Party within 30 days after it has actual knowledge of commencement or assertion of any action, proceeding, demand, or claim by a third party (collectively, a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under Section 11.1. Such notice shall state the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim and the events and the amounts thereof to the extent known. Any failure so to notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article XI, except to the extent the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices such Indemnifying Party. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party, so long as it has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party that it is liable to the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such Third Party Claim or such Third Party Claim entails a material risk of criminal penalties or civil fines or non-monetary sanctions being imposed on the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Penalty Claim”), to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than as expressly provided below in this Section 11.3; provided nothing contained herein shall permit any Indemnifying Party to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving the Class B Member or any Affiliate of the Class B Member, or permit the Class B Member to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving the Class A Member or any Affiliate of the Class A Member other than the Company; and, provided, further, the Parties agree that the handling of any tax contests involving the Company will be governed by Section 7.7.
(b) In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party advises an Indemnified Party that it will not contest a claim for indemnification hereunder, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails, within 30 days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such Indemnified Party of its election, to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any such Third Party Claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense) or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such Third Party Claim or the action or claim is a Third Party Penalty Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim or Third Party Claim. In any event, unless and until the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense; provided that any such participation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense to the extent such participation relates to a Third Party Penalty Claim or if a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of the Third Party Claim; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for the costs and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised at all times as to the status of the defense; provided, however, that the failure to keep the Indemnifying Party so informed shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.
- 43 -
(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.3 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof which imposes any criminal liability or civil fine or sanction or equitable remedy on the Indemnified Party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party, a release from all liability in respect of such claim.
Section 11.4 Certain Obligation of the Class A Members. Following the delivery of a notice of Claim pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 hereof, as applicable, and providing there is a reasonable basis for such Claim, and the amount of the Claim is reasonable in light of the basis of the Claim, then commencing with the first cash distribution under Section 6.1 hereof made by the Company following the expiration of the 30-day period referred to in Section 11.3(b)(ii) hereof, and until all payments owed by the Class A Member to any Class B Member Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.2 or to any other Person pursuant to Section 11.3 hereof have been paid in full (or such lesser amount as shall have been agreed in writing by the Class B Member), any distributions as to which the Class A Member would otherwise be entitled pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof shall not be paid to the Class A Member until the Class B Member Indemnified Party or other Person, as the case may be, shall have received all amounts owed to such Class B Member Indemnified Party or other Person, as the case may be, to which the Class A Member shall have agreed or shall have been determined, as aforesaid, to be liable for, and all Distributable Cash otherwise payable to the Class A Member, shall (to the extent that such Claim is not subject to any good faith dispute) be paid to the Class B Member Indemnified Party or to such other Person.
Section 11.5 After-Tax Basis. For tax reporting purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by the Code, each Party will treat all amounts paid under any of the provisions of this Article XI as an adjustment to the Capital Contribution for the Membership Interest (or otherwise as a non-taxable reimbursement, contribution or return of capital, as the case may be). To the extent any such indemnification payment is includable as income of the Indemnified Party as determined by agreement of the Parties, or if there is no agreement, by an opinion of a nationally recognized tax counsel selected jointly by the Parties that such amount “should” be includable as income of the recipient, the amount of the payment shall be increased by the amount of any federal income tax required to be paid by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates on the receipt or accrual of the indemnification payment, including, for this purpose, the amount of any such Tax required to be paid by the Indemnified Party on the receipt or accrual of the additional amount required to be added to such payment pursuant to this Section 11.5, assuming full taxability, using an assumed tax rate equal to the highest marginal income tax rate applicable to corporations generally (currently 35 percent). Both Parties shall have the opportunity to comment on the opinion delivered in accordance with the foregoing sentence. If an opinion is delivered in accordance with this Section 11.5, the Indemnified Party shall report the relevant indemnification payments as income consistent with such opinion and otherwise act in a manner consistent with such opinion. Any payment made under this Article XI shall be reduced by the present value (as determined on the basis of a discount rate equal to the Target Internal Rate of Return and the same assumptions about taxability and tax rates) of any federal income tax benefit to be realized by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates by reason of the facts and circumstances giving rise to such indemnification.
- 44 -
Section 11.6 No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Article XI shall be determined without duplication of recovery. Without limiting the generality of the prior sentence, if a statement of facts, condition or event constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is subject to the indemnification obligation in Section 11.1, only one recovery of Class B Member Indemnified Costs shall be allowed.
Section 11.7 Survival. All representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive until the final date for any assertion of claims as forth in Section 11.8.
Section 11.8 Final Date for Assertion of Indemnity Claims. All claims by a Class B Member Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article XI resulting from breaches of representations or warranties shall be forever barred unless the Class A Member is notified on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, except that (i) (w) the representations and warranties made as a condition precedent to the Closing and set forth in Sections 3.1 (Organization, Good Standing, Etc. of Seller), 3.2 (Organization, Good Standing, Etc. of the Company and Project Companies), 3.3 (Authority) and 3.6 (Ownership) of the Contribution Agreement shall survive indefinitely, (x) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.9 (Tax Matters) of the Contribution Agreement shall survive for 60 days after the applicable statute of limitations, (y) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.30 (Background Material) of the Contribution Agreement shall survive for four years following the Closing Date, and (z) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.13 (Environmental Matters) of the Contribution Agreement shall survive for four years following the Closing Date; provided, that, if written notice of a claim for indemnification has been given by such Class B Member Indemnified Party on or prior to the applicable date described above, then the obligation of the Class A Member to indemnify such Class B Member Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article XI shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved.
Section 11.9 Mitigation and Limitations on Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:
(a) Reasonable Steps to Mitigate. The Indemnified Party will take, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, all commercially reasonable steps identified by the Indemnifying Party to mitigate all Class B Member Indemnified Costs, which steps may include availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity. The Indemnified Party will provide such evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of the Class B Member Indemnified Costs as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.
- 45 -
(b) Net of Insurance Benefits. All Losses shall be limited to the amount of actual out-of-pocket damages sustained by the Indemnified Party by reason of any breach or nonperformance hereunder, net of insurance recoveries from insurance policies of the Project Companies (including under the existing title policies).
(c) No Consequential Damages. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Class B Member Indemnified Costs” relating to disallowed PTCs and other Tax deductions, Class B Member Indemnified Costs shall not include, and the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Parties for or in respect of any punitive, consequential, special, incidental or exemplary damages of any nature (other than punitive, consequential, special, incidental or exemplary damages recovered against an Indemnified Party by a Person other than a Party and subject to indemnification hereunder).
Section 11.10 Sole Remedy. The remedies under this Article XI are the sole and exclusive remedies under this Agreement and the LLC Agreement for the recovery of monetary damages with respect to any breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or the LLC Agreement or any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement or the LLC Agreement other than fraud or willful misconduct.
Section 11.11 Payment of Indemnification Claims. Subject to Section 11.4, all claims for indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars. Subject to Section 11.4, payments for indemnification claims shall be made promptly after any final determination of the amount of such claim is made by a court of competent jurisdiction (or by agreement of the Parties involved).

The preceding sentence is intended to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be treated as not having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor provision) promulgated under Section 6011 of the Code, and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose.

If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or such other Members waive compliance with the non-disclosure provisions of this Section 13.12 with respect to the information required to be disclosed, the first party will furnish only that portion of such information that it is advised, by opinion of counsel, is legally required to be furnished and will exercise reasonable efforts, at the other Members’ expense, to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information, including, in the case of disclosures to the IRS described in clause (d) above, to obtain reliable assurance that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, such information will not be made available for public inspection pursuant to Section 6110 of the Code. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting a party hereunder from using such Confidential Information in connection with (i) any claim against another Member hereunder, (ii) any exercise by a party hereunder of any of its rights hereunder and (iii) a disposition by a Member of all or a portion of its Membership Interest or a disposition of an equity interest in such Member or its Affiliates, provided, that, such potential purchaser shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with respect to Confidential Information on customary terms used in confidentiality agreements in connection with corporate acquisitions before any such information may be disclosed.

Section 13.14 Specific Performance. The Members agree that irreparable damage may result if this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and the Members agree that any damages available at law for a breach of this Agreement may not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, to the extent that damages available at law for a breach of this Agreement are an inadequate remedy, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the provisions hereof and the obligations of the Members hereunder may be enforceable in a court of equity, or other tribunal with jurisdiction, by a decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith.

Section 13.16 Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations.
(a) In the event that Ormat or an Affiliate incurs reimbursement obligations or loans resulting from draws on any Credit Support provided on behalf of the Company or a Project Company, or otherwise advances cash reserves or posts other collateral, such reimbursement obligations, loans or cash advances shall be deemed an unsecured loan to the Company or Project Company, as applicable, by Ormat or such Affiliate, as applicable, to be repaid out of available cash flow of the Company or such Project Company, as applicable before any distributions to the members of such entity. In any case where Ormat or an Affiliate incurs such loan, such loan shall bear interest and shall otherwise have terms and conditions applicable to Working Capital Loans, excluding any limitations on the aggregate principal amount outstanding on Working Capital Loans. In any case where any Person other than Ormat or an Affiliate incurs such loan resulting from draws on any Credit Support provided on behalf of the Company or a Project Company, such loan shall bear interest and shall otherwise have terms and conditions applicable to the credit or other facility made available by such Person to Ormat or an Affiliate.
(b) In the event that Ormat or an Affiliate provides on behalf of the Company or a Project Company any guaranty, letter of credit or surety bond, the entity providing such guaranty, letter of credit or surety bond, if not a Class B Member, shall provide to the Class B Members within ten Business Days an executed copy of such guaranty, letter of credit or surety bond and Ormat or such Affiliate will be entitled to (i) receive a fee (the “Guaranty Fee”) which fee shall be comparable to a fee chargeable for providing such guaranty, letter of credit or surety bond to a project company rated below investment grade (or not rated), on a non-recourse basis, that may be arranged in an arm’s length transaction by a guarantor which would be deemed to have a credit rating of at least BBB+ and taking into account the amount of the underlying obligation being guaranteed and the length of time the guarantee will be outstanding, and (ii) compensation for the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with effecting, maintaining and renewing such guaranty, letter of credit or surety bond.

(iii) involuntary proceedings or an involuntary petition shall be commenced or filed against the Borrower under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar federal, state or foreign law or seeking the dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of it or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator for it or of a substantial part of its property, assets or business, and such proceedings or petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days; or any writ, judgment, tax lien, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process shall be issued or levied against a substantial part of its property, assets or business, and such writ, judgment, lien, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process shall not be released, vacated or fully bonded, within sixty (60) days after commencement, filing or levy, as the case may be, or any order for relief shall be entered in any such proceeding; or any winding-up, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower.

See attached.
GUARANTY
GUARANTY (this "Guaranty"), dated as of January [__], 2013, of ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("Guarantor") in favor of JPM CAPITAL CORPORATION ("JPM").
WHEREAS, Ormat Nevada Inc. ("ONI"), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor;
WHEREAS, ONI and JPM are parties to that certain
Equity Contribution Agreement (the "Contribution Agreement"), dated as of the date hereof;
WHEREAS, ONI and JPM are parties to that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement of ORTP, LLC (the "LLC Agreement"), dated as of the date hereof;
WHEREAS, a subsidiary of Guarantor, Western States Geothermal Company ("Western States"), supplies geothermal fluid to Xxxxx Power (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) in connection with the Xxxxx Project (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) pursuant to that certain Fluid Supply Agreement (the "Xxxxx Fluid Supply Agreement") dated as of December 15, 2003;
WHEREAS, a subsidiary of Guarantor, ORNI 10, LLC ("ORNI 10"), supplies geothermal fluid to Mammoth Pacific (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) in connection with the Mammoth Project (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) pursuant to that certain Fluid Supply Agreement (the "Mammoth Fluid Supply Agreement" and, together with the Xxxxx Fluid Supply Agreement, the "Fluid Supply Agreements") dated as of January [__], 2013;
WHEREAS, under the Contribution Agreement, it is a condition precedent to the obligations of JPM in connection with the Closing (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) that this Guaranty has been duly executed by the Guarantor and delivered to JPM; and
WHEREAS, Guarantor is willing to provide this Guaranty on the terms set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, Guarantor hereby agrees:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the LLC Agreement.
2. Guaranty by Guarantor. (a) Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to JPM and its successors and permitted assigns the due and punctual payment and performance of all Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below) when the same shall become due and payable, in each case after any applicable grace periods or notice requirements, according to the terms of the LLC Agreement, or, if applicable, the relevant Fluid Supply Agreement, as the case may be. This Guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and owing, and not merely of collection. Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the LLC Agreement or any other Transaction Document (or, if applicable, the relevant Fluid Supply Agreement, as the case may be), any change therein or amendment thereto, the absence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against ONI (or, if applicable, in the case of the Fluid Supply Agreements, ORNI 10 or Western States, as the case may be) or any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or a surety; provided, however, that (i) Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall be subject to defenses available to ONI against enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below), other than bankruptcy or insolvency of ONI (or, if applicable, in the case of the Fluid Supply Agreements, ORNI 10 or Western States, as the case may be) or defenses relating to the legal existence of ONI (or, if applicable, in the case of the Fluid Supply Agreements, ORNI 10 or Western States, as the case may be) or the power and authority of ONI (or, if applicable, in the case of the Fluid Supply Agreements, ORNI 10 or Western States, as the case may be) to enter into and perform under the LLC Agreement or any other Transaction Document or, if applicable, the Fluid Supply Agreements, or the due authorization, execution, delivery and performance by ONI of the LLC Agreement or any other Transaction Document (or, if applicable, in the case of the Fluid Supply Agreements, ORNI 10 or Western States, as the case may be) or the legality, validity and enforceability of ONI's obligations under the LLC Agreement or any other Transaction Document (or, if applicable, in the case of the Fluid Supply Agreements, the obligations of ORNI 10 or Western States, as the case may be, thereunder).
As used herein, "Guaranteed Obligations" means all present and future obligations of (i) ONI to pay to JPM the Class B Member Indemnified Costs in accordance with Article XI of the LLC Agreement resulting from or relating to a breach or default by ONI of any of its representations and warranties in Sections 3.1, 3.2(a), 3.3, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9(o) and 3.31 of the Contribution Agreement or ONI's fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct relating to the LLC Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) each of Western States and ORNI 10 to perform their respective obligations under the Fluid Supply Agreements, and (iii) ONI to perform its obligations under, and in accordance with, Sections 12.1, 12.3 and 12.5 of the LLC Agreement.
(b) Guarantor hereby waives (i) acceptance of this Guaranty, (ii) presentment, demand concerning the liabilities of the Guarantor, protest and any notice not provided for herein and (iii) any right to require that any action or proceeding be brought against ONI (or, if applicable, in the case of the Fluid Supply Agreements, ORNI 10 or Western States, as the case may be) or any of its assets or properties, or against any other person, or to require that the JPM seek enforcement of any performance against ONI (or, if applicable, in the case of the Fluid Supply Agreements, ORNI 10 or Western States, as the case may be) or any other person, prior to any action against Guarantor under the terms hereof. Guarantor agrees that JPM may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, extend the time of payment or performance of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, or renew any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may also make any agreement with ONI (or, if applicable, in the case of the Fluid Supply Agreements, ORNI 10 or Western States, as the case may be) for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification or waiver of the terms thereof or of any agreement between JPM and ONI (or, if applicable, in the case of the Fluid Supply Agreements, ORNI 10 or Western States, as the case may be) without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty.
2
(c) Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of JPM in respect of any amounts paid by Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty; provided, however, that Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation until all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, and, if any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of JPM and shall forthwith be paid to JPM to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations.
(d) This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in full. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations are annulled, set aside, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, rescinded or must otherwise be returned, refunded, restored or repaid by JPM whether as a result of any proceedings related to the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of ONI, ORNI 10, Western States, or Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The terms of this paragraph (d) shall survive termination of the LLC Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(e) This is a continuing guaranty and all obligations to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon.

Mammoth Capital Expenditures
The Mammoth G1 plant, which is comprised of units 100 and 200, was commissioned in 1985. Unit 100 was shut-down in late 2011 due to high failure rates on its air-cooled condenser. Unit 200 is planned to be shut-down in January 2013, at which time the entire G1 plant will be refurbished.
Ormat estimates that the capital investment in 2013 will cost approximately $12.25 million and will extend the operation of the project to 2033.
Ormat intends to replace the existing Rotoflow turbo-expanders with Ormat turbines, remove the gear boxes, replace the air-cooled condensers, and replace the brine heat exchangers, refurbish or replace electrical equipment and other auxiliary systems.
