The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of any such optional prepayment by 12:00 noon New York time on the Business Day prior to the date of such proposed prepayment (which date shall be a Business Day); provided, that if such date specified in such notice as the prepayment date is not the Interest Payment Date for any such LIBO Rate Loans to be prepaid, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any and all breakage fees or costs incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such optional prepayment upon receiving a demand from the Administrative Agent (accompanied by a certificate from the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail such breakage fees and costs), which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a periodic desktop fatal flaw review (each, a “Project Review”) for all Eligible Qualified Projects from time to time as and when the Borrower desires to designate an Eligible Qualified Project as a Qualified Project (as defined below); provided, that the Oakfield Project and Xxxxxxx Project or the Stetson II Project and Xxxxxxx Project (and no others) may be submitted together for consideration as a single Qualified Project; provided, further, that upon any such combined submission, the Xxxxxxx Project may not subsequently be re-submitted with the Oakfield Project (if it was submitted previously with the Stetson II Project) or the Stetson II Project (if it was submitted previously with the Oakfield Project); provided, further, that if submitted together, the subsequent financing of either the Oakfield Project or the Xxxxxxx Project separately resulting in the repayment in full of its respective Corresponding Term Loans and the release of the Corresponding Project Company hereunder, the remaining Project must be re-submitted by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for consideration as a Qualified Project. Until receipt of such Project Reviews with respect to any Eligible Qualified Project and determination by the Administrative Agent that a Project is a Qualified Project, on each Top-Up Date, the Reduced Advance Rate shall be applied for Turbines allocated to such Eligible Qualified Project

(i) a written review by the Independent Engineer including, but not limited to, a confirmation of the potential viability, from a wind and technology point of view, of the wind electrical generating project proposed by the Borrower to be a Qualified Project (it being agreed that if a third-party desktop wind analysis has not been completed, or if such analysis has been prepared in respect of a different turbine layout, then the Independent Engineer may utilize the Borrower’s internal wind analysis in connection with the preparation of the written review hereunder. To the extent, however, that a third-party desktop wind analysis has been prepared for a Project site, such analysis must be presented to the Independent Engineer in conjunction with the Borrower’s internal wind study;

(ii) a pro-forma cash flow forecast demonstrating to the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that such proposed wind electrical generating project is economically viable;

(iii) a detailed report setting forth the proposed real estate plan for the wind electrical generating project proposed by the Borrower to be a Qualified Project; and

(iv) a detailed report as to the permitting and interconnection plan for the wind electrical generating project proposed by the Borrower to be reviewed hereunder.

If the Project Review demonstrates to the Majority Lenders’ and the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction (in consultation with the Independent Engineer) that such Eligible Qualified Project could (x) reasonably achieve construction completion (taking into account the likelihood of such Project obtaining adequate construction financing but not taking into account any adverse effect thereon associated with Clipper being the manufacturer of Turbines included in such Project), qualify for PTCs and begin selling power at least sixty (60) days prior to the then-current expiration date (the “PTC Expiration Date”) for PTCs under the Code, (y) benefit from tax benefits similar to or better than the PTCs then applicable, taking into account the PTC

Expiration Date, or (z) is otherwise economically viable without PTC benefits, such Project shall be deemed a Qualified Project (a “Qualified Project”).

The Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Borrower within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of any Project Review of its determination or a detailed description of the changes that the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders determine are reasonably necessary for such Eligible Qualified Project to qualify as a Qualified Project. The Borrower may resubmit an updated Project Review for reconsideration under this Section 5(aa). The resulting Advance Rates or Reduced Advance Rates, as the case may be, shall apply for purposes of determining the Top-Up Amount for Top-Up Dates.

(bb) Qualified Project Status. The Borrower shall provide monthly updates to Project Reviews and project progress updates for all Eligible Qualified Projects, respectively, and shall (i) promptly notify Administrative Agent of any adverse changes with respect to the most recently provided Project Review (including any delays and project cost increases) for a Qualified Project to the extent such Qualified Project would no longer reasonably be expected to be a Qualified Project and (ii) promptly respond to inquiries by the Administrative Agent as to the status of any Qualified Project (including any potential delays and project cost increases) of each Qualified Project. If the Administrative Agent is notified or reasonably determines that any Qualified Project could no longer reasonably be expected to be a Qualified Project, such project will immediately cease to be a “Qualified Project” under the Loan and the Advance Rate, to the extent it is then in effect, shall be automatically reduced to the applicable Reduced Advance Rate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, promptly upon obtaining knowledge or notice thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with written notice of any delay in (or the occurrence of any other event with respect to) a Qualified Project to the extent such Qualified Project would no longer reasonably be expected to complete construction and qualify for PTCs that are necessary to the economic viability of the Qualified Project at least sixty (60) days prior to the PTC Expiration Date applicable to such Qualified Project. Additionally, the Borrower shall, promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, respond to inquiries by the Administrative Agent as to the status of the development and construction schedule (including any potential delays and project cost increases) of each Qualified Project. If (I) the Administrative Agent is notified pursuant to this Section 5(bb), or otherwise reasonably determines based on consultation with the Independent Engineer, that any Qualified Project for which PTC benefits are necessary to the economic viability of the Project would no longer reasonably be expected to achieve construction completion and qualify for PTCs at least sixty (60) days prior to the PTC Expiration Date applicable to such Qualified Project, such project will immediately cease to be a “Qualified Project” hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of any such determination made under this clause (I), and (II) if the Borrower disagrees with any determination by the Administrative Agent and/or the Independent Engineer that a Qualified Project would no longer reasonably be expected to remain a Qualified Project, the Borrower shall promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days, notify the Administrative Agent of such disagreement, and the parties hereby agree to submit the issue to X.X. Xxxx (or such other third party engineering firm as the Borrower and Administrative Agent may agree). If X.X. Xxxx (or such other third party engineering firm as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) agrees with the determination of the Administrative Agent

and/or the Independent Engineer, such determination shall stand and the applicable Project shall no longer be a Qualified Project as of the date of the Administrative Agent’s determination. If X.X. Xxxx (or such other third party engineering firm as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) disagrees with the determination of the Administrative Agent and/or the Independent Engineer, such determination shall be overturned and the applicable project shall remain a Qualified Project. Whatever determination is made by X.X. Xxxx (or such other third party engineering firm as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) shall be final and binding as to the parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Section 5(bb). X.X. Xxxx (or such other third party engineering firm as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) shall have thirty (30) days to make its determination as to whether the applicable project is or is not a Qualified Project from the date X.X. Xxxx (or such other third party engineering firm as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) is retained to make such determination; provided, however, that to the extent that X.X. Xxxx (or such other third party engineering firm as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) is unable to make a determination as set forth in this Section 5(bb) within such thirty (30) day period, the determination of the Administrative Agent and/or the Independent Engineer shall stand and the applicable project shall no longer be a Qualified Project (unless reinstated as a Qualified Project pursuant to resubmission thereof (which may not occur more than once per calendar quarter) pursuant to Section 5(aa).

(cc) Turbine Reallocation. Subject to the Turbine Supply Documents, the Borrower may request a reallocation of any Turbine to any specified Eligible Qualified Project, Qualified Project or other single purpose project company owned directly or indirectly by the Borrower (which project shall become an Eligible Qualified Project and which project company shall become a Corresponding Project Company hereunder), subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and upon such approval, the Top-Up Amount Schedule shall be updated accordingly to reflect such change. A Project shall no longer be considered an Eligible Qualified Project or Qualified Project hereunder (and its project company shall no longer be a Project Company or Corresponding Project Company hereunder) if it no longer has Corresponding Term Loans hereunder. A reallocation pursuant to this Section 5(cc) shall not be considered a Transfer under Section 5(x).

(dd) Turbine Appraisal. Prior to each Top-Up Date, with respect to each Turbine for which Corresponding Term Loans have been made, the Administrative Agent may instruct the Independent Appraiser to prepare an appraisal of such Turbine (at the Borrower’s cost) in accordance with the Appraisal Procedure; provided, that no Turbine may be the subject of an appraisal more than once per calendar quarter under this Section 5(dd). The appraisal shall be the basis for determining the Appraised Value of such Turbine for all purposes of this Note. The Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the appraisal and notice of the Top-Up Amount to the Borrower no fewer than five (5) Business Days before such Top-Up Date.

(ee) Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering and OFAC Laws.

(i) Borrower shall comply at all times with the requirements of all Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

(v) If Borrower obtains actual knowledge or receives any written notice that Borrower, any Affiliate, Subsidiary or any person or entity holding any legal or beneficial interest whatsoever therein (whether directly or indirectly) is named on the OFAC SDN List (such occurrence, an “OFAC Violation”), Borrower shall immediately (i) give written notice to Lender of such OFAC Violation, and (ii) comply with all applicable laws with respect to such OFAC Violation (regardless of whether the party included on the OFAC SDN List is located within the jurisdiction of the United States of America), including the OFAC Laws, and Borrower hereby authorizes and consents to Lender’s taking any and all steps Lender deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to comply with all applicable laws with respect to any such OFAC Violation, including the requirements of the OFAC Laws (including the “freezing” and/or “blocking” of assets and reporting such action to OFAC). Upon Lender's request from time to time, Borrower shall deliver a certification confirming its compliance with the covenants set forth in this Section 5(ee)(v).

(ff) Post-Closing Obligations. It shall deliver the items listed on Schedule 10 by the dates set forth therein, each duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The parties acknowledge that the failure of the Borrower to deliver any item listed on Schedule 10 shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) FWA IV Default. Before the Release Event has occurred, an “Event of Default” (or other similar event or condition allowing the lenders to accelerate the relevant loans) shall have occurred under the FWA IV Note; provided, that to the extent an Event of Default hereunder has occurred solely due to an Event of Default under the FWA IV Note, the Event of Default hereunder shall be deemed cured automatically and concurrently with the cure of the Event of Default under the FWA IV Note in accordance with the terms thereof.

(f) The Borrower, or (if it would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect) any Turbine supplier under any Turbine Supply Document, or, until the occurrence of the Release Event, First Wind Holdings: (i) shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as its debts become due; (ii) shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petition or apply to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for its or a substantial part of its assets; (iii) shall commence any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation; (iv) shall have had any such petition filed, or any such proceeding shall have been commenced against it, in which an adjudication is made or order for relief is entered or which remains undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days; (v) shall have had a receiver, custodian or trustee appointed for all or a substantial part of its property; or (vi) shall take any action effectuating, approving or consenting to any of the events described in clauses (i) through (v);

(i) Except as permitted under this Note, any failure by the Borrower to have good title to all of its real property and good title to all of its personal property and assets, which failure would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower’s ability to comply with its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is party;

(j) The incurrence of any liability under any applicable environmental law which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if such liability shall continue unremedied for a period of five (5) days after receipt of notice, or actual knowledge, thereof by the Borrower, or, if such liability cannot reasonably be remedied within such five (5) day period but is capable of being remedied as long as the Borrower is using diligent efforts to remedy such liability for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of notice, or actual knowledge thereof, by the Borrower;

(k) A Change of Control shall occur and be continuing;

(l) Any permit required to be obtained or maintained by the Borrower under any Turbine Supply Documents shall be revoked or cancelled by the issuing governmental authority having jurisdiction, or any such permit shall otherwise fail to be in full force and effect, or the Borrower shall fail to comply with any such permit, in each case, which revocation, cancellation or failure would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and in each case, if any adverse effect of such revocation, cancellation or failure is not remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Lenders within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice thereof by such Person;

The Borrower agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or any other Basic Document, or any legal action or proceeding to execute or otherwise enforce any judgment obtained against the Borrower, for breach hereof or thereof, or against any of its properties, may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by the Administrative Agent or on behalf of any Lender, as the Administrative Agent may elect. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for purposes of any such legal action or proceeding. Service of process by the Administrative Agent in any such dispute shall be binding on the Borrower if sent to the Borrower by registered or certified mail, at the addresses specified on the signature page of this Note. The Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction.

Any such Person to whom any Lender assigns its rights pursuant to this Section 10 shall then become vested with all the rights granted to such Lender under this Note and with respect to the Loan. Upon such assignment or transfer, such Lender shall provide to the Borrower the name, address and contact information of the permitted assignee or transferee.

11. Appointment of Agents.

(a) Appointment, Powers and Immunities.

(i) Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Basic Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Note and the other Basic Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(ii) Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Basic Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Note and the other Basic Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b) Duties, Responsibilities, Powers and Immunities of Agents.

The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Basic Documents to which they are party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) each Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Basic Documents that each Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Majority Lenders or any other Agent, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Basic Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to First Wind Holdings or any of its subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful

misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower, the Lenders or any other Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Note or any other Basic Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Note, any other Basic Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to any Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Each Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, any other Agent, the Borrower and First Wind Holdings at least seven (7) days in advance. Any Agent may be removed involuntarily only for a material breach of its duties hereunder or under the other Basic Documents or for gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction only upon the affirmative vote of the Majority Lenders (excluding such Agent from such vote and such Agent’s Loans and Commitments from the amounts used to determine the Majority Lenders). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which successor shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Agent’s resignation shall not be effective until a successor shall have been appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment. If no successor has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

Schedule 2

Appraisal Procedure

A Fair Market Value (“FMV”) appraisal shall be performed by the Appraiser in accordance with the Appraisal Foundation’s Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”) and subject to the Appraisal Procedure described below.

Appraisal Procedure

When requested by the Administrative Agent (but not more than once per calendar quarter), the Appraiser shall perform a FMV appraisal of the Turbines. Although the Appraiser must consider all three approaches to value (the Replacement Cost Approach, Sales Comparison Approach, and Income Capitalization Approach), as required and defined under USPAP, it is mutually acknowledged that the Income Capitalization Approach is not appropriate in this circumstance because the Turbines and the Corresponding Project Companies at no time constitute a cash flow-generating entity and since the wind turbine machinery comprising the Turbines consists entirely of uninstalled machinery and equipment that cannot be considered part of a “going concern” at the time of the Appraisal.

The value of the Turbines shall be determined as the lesser of the values produced by the Replacement Cost Approach and the Sales Comparison Approach, assuming, in both Approaches, payment in full and delivery of the Turbines.

In performing the Replacement Cost Approach, the Appraiser shall consider only turbines from manufacturers of comparable industry stature (“Comparable Manufacturers”) in assessing equipment of equivalent functional utility, with due consideration to capacity and future operational costs. In performing the Sales Comparison Approach, the Appraiser shall only consider equipment from Comparable Manufacturers. If, in the Appraiser’s judgment, insufficient data exist regarding recent transactions of equipment from Comparable Manufacturers, the Appraiser shall, in a manner consistent with formal appraisal procedure, adjust the sales comparison indicator of value to reflect differences between the transacted values of equipment from Comparable Manufacturers and transacted values of equipment from other manufacturers. The determination of Comparable Manufacturers shall be based on industry market share and installed base, degree and creditworthiness of warranty coverage, and the performance characteristics of the Equipment.

As part of the Reconciliation of Value Indications, the Appraiser shall report the Value of the Equipment as a single dollar value. Although a range of values may be referenced in the appraisal report, only the single dollar value reported as the Equipment’s Value shall be deemed the conclusion of the Appraisal. The single dollar value should represent the value of the most probable price within the range of values.
