Section 3.3    Other Required Capital Contributions.

(a)    Except as provided in this Section 3.3, Section 3.1, Section 3.2 and Section 12.3, no Member shall be obligated to make Capital Contributions.

(b)    Immediately upon receipt of (i) the presentation made to a Fund Company of a tranche of Projects for purchase or (ii) a formal capital contribution request from a Fund Company with respect to a tranche of Projects, that in either case sets forth an amount of capital contributions that will be required from the members of such Fund Company and a date by which contributions to a Fund Company must be made or (iii) any notice delivered to the Company in connection with a Contribution Event pursuant to Section 3.3(e), the Manager shall deliver to the Members a request for Capital Contributions (the “Capital Contribution Request”), consisting of, with respect to clauses 3.3(b)(i) and (ii), (A) the amount of capital that a Fund Company or other Subject Company requires (the “Capital Call Amount”), (B) a reasonably detailed explanation of the intended use of such capital by the Company and each applicable Subject Company, (C) the Fund Base Case Model used to calculate the Capital Contributions being requested, (D) the Equity Capital Contribution Date when the requested Capital Contributions must be made, which shall be the same date as the capital contributions are made by the Fund Investors of such Fund Company, if applicable, but in all cases, shall be at least three (3) days following delivery of the Capital Contribution Request, (E) the Class A Capital Contribution Amount, as determined in accordance with Section 3.3(c), and (F) the Class B Capital Contribution Amount, as determined in accordance with Section 3.3(d).

(c)    On each Equity Capital Contribution Date other than with respect to a Contribution Event, the Class A Members shall each make a Capital Contribution in cash equal to the percentage of the Capital Call Amount required so that each Class A Member is projected to: (i) achieve the Target IRR on the Target Flip Date, (ii) receive a minimum [***]% per annum return until the Target Flip Date, based on Available Cash Flow and any CAFD Reserve amount available for distribution to the Class A Members under Section 5.1(a)(i), and (iii) receive no less than an average [***]% per annum return based on Available Cash Flow during the first ten years following the date on which the Class A Capital Contribution Amount has been made (the “Class A Capital Contribution Amount”), as determined pursuant to the applicable Fund Base Case Model.

pro rata in accordance with their Class B Units) in cash equal to the Capital Call Amount minus the Class A Capital Contribution Amount (the “Class B Capital Contribution Amount”), as determined pursuant to the applicable Fund Base Case Model.

(e)    In addition to the Capital Contributions contemplated by Section 3.3(b), the Manager may (or, in the case of clause (iv), shall) request from the Members, and the Members shall be obligated to make, as applicable, Capital Contributions to fund (i) the purchase price of an Accepted Acquisition, (ii) a Fund Company Put Event, (iii) a Fund Company Call Event approved in accordance with Section 6.3 or (iv) a Member Contribution Event (each a “Contribution Event”), in each case, by delivering a Capital Contribution Request to the applicable Member(s) (with a copy to the other Members) in accordance with the time requirements of Section 3.3(b), consisting of (A) a detailed explanation of the Contribution Event and the total capital required from the Company in connection therewith, (B) the amount of such Capital Contribution requested of each such Member, and (C) all notices and other documentary evidence received by the Intermediate Company in connection with such Contribution Event. In the case of an Accepted Acquisition, the Manager shall determine the Members’ respective Capital Contribution amounts in accordance with Section 3.3(c) and Section 3.3(d) respectively. In the event that a Contribution Event other than a Member Contribution Event occurs following the Investment Period, the Capital Contribution to be made by each Member shall be the applicable Capital Call Amount multiplied by such Member’s Post Investment Period Contribution Percentage.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the Class A Members’ obligation to make further Capital Contributions in connection with a Contribution Event if and as required by this Agreement, (i) in no event shall the Class A Members be obligated to make Capital Contributions to the Company that in the aggregate exceed the Class A Member Capital Contribution Commitment or if the credit profile of the tranche of projects intended to be funded by the Capital Contributions is substantially different than the Fund Credit Profile defined in the applicable Fund Addendum (as determined by the Class A Members in their reasonable discretion) and (ii) the obligation of the Class A Members under this Section 3.3 with respect to the acquisition of Projects by a Fund Company are subject to receipt by the Class A Members of evidence satisfactory to them that the Fund Investors under any applicable Fund Documents has agreed to make its required capital contribution pursuant to the terms of the Fund Documents. If the Class A Members do not fund any portion of the Capital Contribution requested of them contained in a Capital Contribution Request because such amount exceeds Class A Member Capital Contribution Commitment, then, in addition to funding such shortfall amount as a Member Loan pursuant to Section 3.4 below, the Class B Members may fund such shortfall as a Capital Contribution (if more than one Class B Member desires to do so, then pro rata in accordance with their Class B Units), and the Members shall work together in good faith to adjust to the allocations under Section 4.1 and the distributions under Section 5.1 to reflect such increased Capital Contributions made by the Class B Members.

(g)    If any Member disputes the amount of its Capital Contribution set forth in a Capital Contribution Request, then such Member shall immediately deliver notice to the other Members and the Manager and all Members and the Manager shall, within three (3) Business Days, meet in good faith to resolve any discrepancies causing such dispute and if they are not able to resolve such dispute, then such matter will be handled pursuant to the dispute resolution mechanisms set forth in Section 10.3.

Section 3.4    Member Loans.

(a)    In the event that, from time to time after the Effective Date, additional working capital is needed to enable the Company to cause the Assets of the Company and any Subject Company to be properly operated and maintained (and to pay and perform the costs, expenses, obligations and liabilities of the Company or any Subject Company), but not in connection with a Contribution Event, then, at the discretion of the Manager, the Manager may give notice to the Members thereof (the “Working Capital Notice”), and each Member shall have the right (but not the obligation) to advance all or part of the needed funds to the Company. Within ten (10) Business Days following the date of the Working Capital Notice, the participating Members shall give notice to the Manager and the other Members stating their election whether to provide such funding to the Company (the “Funding Notice”). If more than one Member states in the Funding Notice that it elects to provide such funds, then each Member shall provide an equal amount of funds (or such other amount as the Members decide) to the Company within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Funding Notice. Amounts advanced by any Member pursuant to this Section 3.3(g) shall be considered “Member Loans”.

(b)    Any Member Loan shall be unsecured and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (A) the Reference Rate plus four percent (4%) or (B) the highest rate of interest that may be charged by a Member in accordance with applicable Law, unless a lower rate of interest is otherwise agreed to by such Member in its sole discretion. Member Loans shall be repaid by the Company out of Available Cash Flow in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1(c). Interest on each Member Loan pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall accrue and, if not paid in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 3.4(b), be compounded to the principal amount thereof on each Distribution Date.

Section 3.5    No Right to Return of Capital Contributions.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member may require a return of any part of its Capital Contributions or the payment of interest thereon from the Company or from another Member. An unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or any Member.

Section 4.1    Capital Accounts.

(a)    The Company shall maintain for each Member a separate Capital Account in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑l(b)(2)(iv).

(b)    A Member’s Capital Account will be increased by (i) such Member’s Capital Contributions, (ii) the income and gain the Member is allocated by the Company, including any income and gain that is exempted from tax and including any income and gain described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding tax items of income and gain described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(4)(i), and (iii) an amount equal to an allocation of upward

basis adjustment to such Member as a result of a Recapture of ITCs as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j). A Member’s Capital Account will be decreased by (i) the amount of money distributed to the Member by the Company, (ii) the net value of any property other than money distributed to the Member by the Company (i.e., the fair market value of the property net of any liabilities secured by the property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), (iii) any expenditures of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code (i.e., that cannot be capitalized or deducted in computing taxable income) that are allocated to the Member, (iv) losses and deductions that are allocated to the Member, but excluding tax items of loss or deduction described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(4)(i), and (v) an amount equal to an allocation of downward basis adjustment to such Member as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j).

(c)    In the event Units are Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the Transferring Member to the extent it relates to the Units so Transferred.

(d)    In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of Section 4.2(b) there shall be taken into account Code Section 752(c) and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations.

(e)    The Members’ Initial Capital Contributions and initial Capital Accounts are set forth on Annex I.

(f)    This Section 4.1 and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.

Section 4.2    Allocations.

For purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts, all Company Items, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be separately determined for each Project, for any Taxable Year shall be allocated among the Members as follows:

(h)    General Allocations. Subject to Section 4.2(b), Section 4.3 and Section 12.2(a)(iv), all Company Items attributable to each Project for any Taxable Year or relevant portion thereof shall be allocated among the Members as follows:

(i)    first, from and after the Effective Date and through the Flip Date, ninety-five percent (95%) to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class A Units, and five percent (5%) to the Class B Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class B Units; and

(ii)    thereafter, five percent (5%) to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class A Units, and ninety-five percent (95%) to the Class B Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class B Units.

Account balance as of the end of any Taxable Year ending on or after the Flip Date, income and gain of the Company (but not loss or deductions of the Company) shall be allocated ninety-nine percent (99%) to the Class A Members, pro rata among the Class A Members in accordance with the deficit in its Capital Account balances in excess of the amount such Class A Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and one percent (1%) to the Class B Members, in accordance with their Class B Units, until each Class A Member's deficit Capital Account balance is not in excess of the amounts that such Class A Member is deemed obligated to restore (any such allocations, a "Special DRO Allocation").

(i)    Items in Connection with Liquidation. Company Items for the Taxable Year in which there is a disposition or deemed disposition of all or substantially all of the Assets of the Company pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(iii) shall be allocated pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(iv).

Section 4.3    Adjustments.

The following adjustments shall be made to the allocations set forth in Section 4.2 in the following order of priority in order to comply with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704‑1(b) and 1.704‑2:

(c)    Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, except as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(f), if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any taxable year of the Company, each Member shall be allocated Company Items of income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The Company Items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704‑2(f)(6) and 1.704‑2(j)(2). This Section 4.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d)    Chargeback of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, except as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any taxable year of the Company, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(i)(5), shall be allocated Company Items of income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable year) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The Company Items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704‑2(i)(4) and 1.704‑2(j)(2). This Section 4.3(b) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e)    Limitation on Losses and Deductions. No items of loss or deduction may be allocated to any Member to the extent the allocation would result in or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Taxable Year. In the event some but not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of items of loss or deduction, this limitation shall be applied on a Member-by-Member basis and items of loss or deduction not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in the manner otherwise required pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 12.2(a)(iv) to the extent such other Members may be allocated such items of loss or deduction without producing an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

(f)    Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704‑1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), Company Items of income and gain shall be allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate as quickly as possible, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have such a deficit Capital Account after all other adjustments provided for in this Section 4.3 have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.3(d) were not in this Agreement.

(g)    Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Taxable Year that is in excess of the amount such Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704‑2(g)(1) and 1.704‑2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated Company Items of income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3(e) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other special allocations provided for in this Section 4.3 have been made as if Section 4.3(d) and this Section 4.3(e) were not in this Agreement.

(h)    Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company Asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Section 743(b) is required pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of such Member’s interest in the Company or a distribution to a Member other than in complete liquidation of such Member’s interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the Asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis). Such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members as follows: (A) to the Member to whom such distribution was made in the event the first sentence of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies; (B) in accordance with how the corresponding item of “displaced” gain or loss would be allocated to the Members pursuant to Section 4.2 to the extent the second sentence of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies; and (C) in accordance with the Members’ “interests in the Company” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(3) in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies.

(i)    Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable Year shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with (i) Section 4.2, as in effect at the time the Nonrecourse Deduction arises, or (ii) if applicable, Section 12.2(a)(iv), as in effect at the time the Nonrecourse Deduction arises.

(j)    Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable Year shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(i)(1).

(k)    Regulatory Allocations. The allocations required in Section 4.3(a) through Section 4.3(h) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements

of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent consistent with the Treasury Regulations, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with allocations of other Company Items. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article IV, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other Company Items among the Members such that, to the extent consistent with the Treasury Regulations, the net amount of allocations of such items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred and all Company Items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.2, this Section 4.3 (excluding the Regulatory Allocations) and this Section 4.3(i) and Section 12.2(a)(iv).

Section 4.4    Tax Allocations.

(a)    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.4, for federal, state and local income tax purposes each item of the Company’s income, gain, loss, deduction and credit as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated to the Members in the same manner as the correlative Company Items are allocated for book purposes pursuant to Section 4.2, Section 4.3 and Section 12.2(a)(iv).

(b)    In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, items of the Company’s income, gain, loss, deduction and credit as determined for federal income tax purposes that are attributable to any non-cash property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members 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 Value using the “remedial” method permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑3(d).

(c)    In the event the Value of any Company Asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Value, subsequent allocations of Company Items with respect to such Asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Asset for federal income tax purposes and its Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(d)    Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4 are solely for federal, state, and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or distributive share of Company Items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Section 4.5    Other Allocation Rules.

(a)    The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article IV and Section 12.2(a) and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV and by Section 12.2(a) in reporting their distributive shares of Company Items for income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. If the respective Membership Interests or allocation ratios described in this Article IV of the existing Members in the Company change or if a Membership Interest is Transferred in compliance with this Agreement to any other Person,

then, for the Taxable Year in which the change or Transfer occurs, all Company Items resulting from the operations of the Company shall be allocated, as between the Members for the Taxable Year in which the change occurs or between the Transferring Member and the Transferee, by taking into account their varying interests using the interim closing of the books method permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.706‑1(c)(2)(ii), unless otherwise agreed in writing by all the Members.

(b)    The Members agree that solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752‑3(a)(3), the Members’ interests in Company profits are in accordance with Section 4.2 as in effect at the time the excess nonrecourse liability arises.

(c)    Each Member agrees to provide the Company with information in connection with a transaction subject to Sections 734 and 743 of the Code and the elections permitted and provisions required thereunder, including Treasury Regulations Section 1.743‑1.

Section 5.1    Distributions of Available Cash Flow.

Available Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

(j)    Subject to Sections 5.1(c)-(e), from and after the Effective Date, Class A Eligible Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Members on each Distribution Date on which the Company has Class A Eligible Cash Flow, in the following order and priority:

(i)    first, from and after the Effective Date until the Flip Date, at the sole discretion of the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class A Units, 100% of any amounts set aside in the CAFD Reserve;

(ii)    second, from and after the Effective Date until the Flip Date, ninety-five percent (95%) to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class A Units, and five percent (5%) to the Class B Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class B Units;

(iii)    thereafter, five percent (5%) to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class A Units, and ninety-five percent (95%) to the Class B Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class B Units;

(k)    Subject to Sections 5.1(c)-(e), from and after the Effective Date, Class A Ineligible Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Members on each Distribution Date on which the Company has Class A Ineligible Cash Flow, in the following order and priority:

(i)    first, from and after the Effective Date until the Flip Date, one hundred percent (100%) to the Class B Members;

(ii)    thereafter, five percent (5%) to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class A Units, and ninety-five percent (95%) to the Class B Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class B Units;

provided, that the Class B Members may, at any time and from time to time, deliver notice to the other Members and the Manager that any component of Class A Ineligible Cash Flow should be included in Class A Eligible Cash Flow to be distributed pursuant to Section 5.1(a) and thereafter such component of Class A Ineligible Cash Flow specified in such notice shall be distributed pursuant to Section 5.1(a) unless and until further notice from the Class B Members instructs otherwise.

(l)    Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a)-(b), on any Distribution Date on which there is an unpaid balance on any Member Loan made by a Member in accordance with Section 3.4, Available Cash Flow shall first be distributed to the Members participating in such Member Loan on such Distribution Date in an amount not to exceed the outstanding balance of such Member Loan.

(m)    Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a)-(b), if on any Distribution Date within a Taxable Year that begins on or after the Flip Date, the distributions of Available Cash Flow distributed to the Class A Member under 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) above within that Taxable Year are not at least equal to the Tax Costs for the Class A Member to date for such Taxable Year, and all unpaid balances on Member Loans have been repaid in accordance with 5.1(c), then a portion of the Available Cash Flow otherwise distributable to the Class B Member equal to that shortfall shall instead be distributed to the Class A Member.

(n)    Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a)-(b), on any Distribution Date that occurs on or after the Target Flip Date, and the Flip Point has not occurred, after all outstanding balances of Member Loans have been paid in accordance with Section 5.1(c), Available Cash Flow shall be distributed ninety-five percent (95%) to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class A Units, and five percent (5%) to the Class B Members, pro rata in accordance with their Class B Units, until sufficient distributions have been made to the Class A Members for the Flip Point to occur.

Section 5.2    Limitation.

The distributions described in this Article V shall be made only from Available Cash Flow and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient Available Cash Flow to enable the Manager to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to a Member on account of its Membership Interest if such distribution (including a return of Capital Contributions) would violate the Act or any other applicable Law.

Section 5.3    Withholding.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall comply with any withholding requirements under any Law and shall remit amounts withheld to, and file required forms with, applicable taxing authorities. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any taxing authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Member, the amount withheld shall be treated as a distribution of cash to such Member in the amount of such withholding. The Company shall notify the Member and permit the Member, if permitted by applicable Law, to contest the applicability of the underlying Tax prior to making such withholding, provided that the Company shall not incur any interest, penalties or additions to tax (unless the contesting Member shall have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any such additional liabilities). If an amount required to be withheld was not withheld from an actual distribution, the Company may reduce subsequent distributions by the amount of such required withholding and any penalties or interest thereon. Each Member agrees to furnish to the Company such forms or other documentation as is reasonably necessary to assist the Company in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations.

Section 6.1    Manager.

(l)    The Initial Class B Member is hereby appointed by the Members as the initial Manager of the Company. Except as provided in Section 6.2 or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Manager shall conduct, direct and exercise control over all activities of the Company, and shall have full power and authority on behalf of the Company to manage and administer the business and affairs of the Company and to do or cause to be done any and all acts reasonably considered by the Manager to be necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of the Company (including, without limitation, taking all necessary actions to cause the Company to cause each Subject Company to perform its obligations and enforce its rights under the Project Documents to which it is a party and to otherwise carry out its purposes) without the need for approval by or any other consent from any Member, including the authority to bind the Company in making contracts and incurring obligations in the Company’s name in the course of the Company’s business. The Manager may delegate its management duties and obligations to third parties, including the Management Services Provider, or Officers but such delegation shall not relieve the Manager of its primary obligation with respect to such duties and obligations. Except to the extent that a Member is also the Manager or authority is delegated from the Manager, no Member shall have any authority to bind the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Manager shall (provided that, in each case as it relates to any Subject Company, only to the extent that the Company has (directly or indirectly) the authority to control the management of such Subject Company):

(i)    in accordance with Article VIII hereof, keep and maintain books of account that are true and correct in all material respects and prepare and timely file all necessary tax returns and make all necessary or desirable tax elections for the Company and each Subject Company;

(ii)    prepare and submit all filings of any nature that are required to be made by the Company and each Subject Company under any laws, regulations, ordinances or otherwise applicable to the Company, the Subject Companies or the Projects;

(iii)    procure and maintain all Licenses and Permits (if any) required for the Company and the Subject Companies;

(iv)    comply with the terms and conditions of the Investment Documents, the Project Documents, the Licenses and Permits and applicable Law;

(v)    procure and maintain, or cause to be procured and maintained, all insurance required to be maintained pursuant to the Project Documents;

(vi)    enforce the Company’s and the Subject Companies’ and any counterparty’s compliance with the terms and conditions of all Contracts under which the Company or any Subject Company has any obligations or rights, including this Agreement

and the Project Documents and ensure compliance with applicable Laws, including Environmental Laws, Anti‑Corruption Laws and Laws relating to Sanctions;

(vii)    manage the Company’s and the Subject Companies’ cash according to investment guidelines set forth in Section 8.5 and make distributions out of available cash as provided under the relevant provisions of this Agreement, the Fund Documents and the Subject Companies’ organizational documents, including the prompt distribution of cash from the Subject Companies to the Company;

Section 6.3    Fund Company Acquisitions; Fund Company Call Events.

(d)    During the Investment Period, the Manager shall present each proposed Fund Company to the Members in accordance with Section 6.3(b) to obtain Consent of the Members to either (i) if such proposed Fund Company is a going concern and owns one or more Projects at the time of such acquisition, purchase such Fund Company or (ii) if such proposed Fund Company is a newly formed company that does not yet own any Projects at the time of such acquisition, cause the applicable Intermediate Company to acquire a membership interest in such Fund Company and enter into the Fund Documents with any applicable Fund Investor.

(e)    In order to initiate the Company’s investment in a proposed Fund Company, the Manager shall deliver to the Members a Fund Company Presentation Package for their review; provided, that such delivery will be considered an informal delivery unless and until a formal notice is sent by the Manager to the Members (a “Fund Company Presentation Notice”) indicating that such delivery is intended to commence the Review Period set forth below. Following receipt of a Fund Company Presentation Notice, each Member shall respond in writing (each, an “Investment Response Notice”) within thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) indicating whether it accepts (an “Accepted Acquisition”) or rejects (a “Rejected Acquisition”) such investment opportunity. A proposed investment shall automatically be treated as a Rejected Acquisition unless all Members deliver Investment Responses approving such acquisition prior to the expiration of the applicable Review Period.

(f)    In the case of each Accepted Acquisition, the Members shall be deemed to have consented to the applicable Fund Documents and the Manager will (i) cause the applicable Intermediate Company to enter into the applicable Fund Documents to acquire interests in such Fund Company, (ii) coordinate with each Member any documents required to be executed by such Member in connection with such Accepted Acquisition, if any, including any guarantees required in connection therewith, (iii) the Members shall execute a Fund Addendum and (iv) deliver such Capital Contribution Notices to the Members as are required to fund such acquisition.

(g)    If the proposed Fund Base Case Model and proposed amendments to the Approved Budget contained in the Fund Company Presentation Package in connection with a proposed acquisition of a Fund Company require an increase to the Class A Member Capital Contribution Commitment in connection with such acquisition and such acquisition becomes an Accepted Acquisition, then the Class A Member Capital Contribution Commitment shall be automatically increased as agreed to by the Members in connection with the modification of the Approved Budget in connection with such acquisition.

(h)    In the event that a Fund Company Call Event arises, the Manager shall send notice to the Members together with a detailed explanation of the mechanics for such event in the applicable Fund Documents. Within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such notice, the Members shall meet to determine whether the Company should cause the Intermediate Company to purchase the applicable Fund Investor’s membership interests (the “Fund Investor Interests”) in such Fund Company; provided, that, if such decision is not required to be made under the Fund Documents until an appraisal of such Fund Investor Interests has been completed, then the Members may postpone such decision until such appraisal has been completed. If the Members agree to

exercise the option pursuant to the Fund Company Call Event, then each Member’s respective Capital Contributions will be determined in accordance with Section 3.3(e). If the Class A Members and the Class B Members cannot reach agreement with respect to exercising such option within the number of days required for such decision contained in the notice from the Manager (to be determined reasonably by the Manager in each case based on the required response period in the underlying Fund Documents), then the Class B Members shall have the right (but not the obligation), to be exercised within three (3) days following the initial decision period contained in the Manager’s notice, to cause the Intermediate Company to exercise such option to purchase the Fund Investor Interests conditioned on the Class B Members funding one hundred percent (100%) of the Capital Contributions required to consummate such purchase. If the Class B Members decline the opportunity to fund one hundred percent (100%) of the Capital Contributions required to consummate such purchase, then the Class A Members shall have the right (but not the obligation), to be exercised within three (3) days following the receipt of the Class B Members’ response (or deemed response), to cause the Intermediate Company to exercise such option to purchase the Fund Investor Interests conditioned on the Class A Members funding one hundred percent (100%) of the Capital Contributions required to consummate such purchase. The failure of any Member to respond within the time periods set forth in this Section 6.3(e) shall be deemed such Member’s rejection of such opportunity. Following any Member’s delivery of notice that it has elected to fund one hundred percent (100%) of the Capital Contributions required to consummate the purchase of the Fund Investor Interests, the Members shall work together in good faith to adjust to the allocations under Section 4.1 and the distributions under Section 5.1 to reflect such increased Capital Contributions made by the Class B Members.

Section 6.4    Removal and Election of Manager.

(a)    The Manager shall not have a right to resign unless and until a successor manager is elected or appointed as specified under this Section 6.4 and assumes the obligations of the Manager under this Agreement. If the Manager so resigns, the resigning Manager shall reasonably cooperate with the Members and the replacement Manager to effect an orderly transition of responsibilities and duties to the replacement Manager. Such replacement Manager shall be elected by a majority vote of the Class B Members, subject to subparagraph (b) below.

(b)    The Manager will be subject to removal as Manager by Consent of the Members (excluding any Member who is the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager), if the Manager (in its capacity as Manager or its capacity as Tax Matters Member ) (i) is proven to have engaged in gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud or (ii) is proven to have performed any action that is in breach or violation of this Agreement and that has or is reasonably expected to have a Portfolio Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that in the case of this clause (ii), for any breach or violation other than a failure to make a cash distribution when due under this Agreement, the Manager shall have the opportunity to cure such breach or violation within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of such breach; provided, further, that if such breach cannot be cured within such period, and the Manager is proceeding with diligence to cure such breach, the 30-day cure period shall be extended by an additional sixty (60) days, for a total cure period of ninety (90) days; provided, further, that during such cure period the Manager may continue as the Manager (and Tax Matters Member). In addition, the Manager shall be removed automatically without further vote, action or notice by any Member in the event of a Bankruptcy of the Manager, the Tax Matters Member (if it is an Affiliate of the Manager) or any Member who is an Affiliate of the Manager, unless those Members who are not Affiliates of the Manager elect otherwise upon written notice.

(c)    If the Manager is removed under subparagraph (b) above, the Consent of the Members (excluding any Member who is the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager) shall be required to elect or appoint a successor Manager to succeed to all the rights, and to perform all of the obligations, set forth for the Manager hereunder. If the Manager is so removed, the removed Manager shall reasonably cooperate with the Members and the replacement Manager to effect an orderly transition of responsibilities and duties to the replacement Manager.

(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by Law, reasonable and documented expenses to be incurred by an indemnified Person under this Section 6.5 shall, from time to time, be advanced by or on behalf of the Company, from Available Cash Flow, prior to the final disposition of any matter upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking from a Person with sufficient credit capacity to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement.

(c)    Provided that the same is reflected in the Approved Budget, the Company may purchase from the funds of the Company and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was an officer, employee, or agent of the Company, against any liability asserted against the Person and incurred by the Person in any capacity, or arising out of the Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify the Person against the liability under the provisions of this Section 6.5.

Section 6.6    Company Reimbursement; Fund Formation Expenses.

The Company shall directly pay and reimburse the Manager for all Company Reimbursable Expenses incurred from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Class A Members shall not be obligated to make Capital Contributions in connection with any legal or other fees and costs in connection with the negotiation and entry by the Intermediate Company or any other Person into any Fund Documents, which obligation shall

be borne solely by the Class B Member as a Member Contribution Event, including the repayment of the Manager for any such expenses advanced by the Manger.

(c)    Vacancies. A vacancy in any office because of death, resignation, removal, disqualification or otherwise, may be filled by the Manager for the unexpired portion of the term.

Furthermore, the Officers shall not have any liability for the repayment of the capital contributions of any Member. In addition, the doing of any act or the omission to do any act by the Officers the effect of which may cause or result in loss or damage to the Company, if done in good faith and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall not subject the Officers or their successors and assigns to any liability to the greatest extent allowed by the Act.

If such Consent of the Members is required and if either the Consent of the Members is received or if no Member objects to such proposed operating budget by the last day of the month preceding the month in which the then current Fiscal Year ends (currently November 30), then not later than such date, such operating budget shall be deemed approved by all of the Members (each budget as attached hereto, approved or deemed approved, an “Approved Budget”). If the Consent of the Members is required and not obtained as provided above, then the Manager shall prepare or cause to be prepared a revised operating budget, which shall be submitted to the Members for their approval as set forth in the preceding sentences, and, upon final approval of such operating budget by the Consent of the Members, such budget shall become an Approved Budget hereunder. To the extent that amounts relating to any items of a proposed budget are not approved, the corresponding amounts for the items in the previous Fiscal Year’s Approved Budget will continue as part of the Approved Budget for such year, until a more current amount for such item is approved in accordance with this Section 6.8. The Manager may from time to time during the Fiscal Year propose to amend the Approved Budget to decrease expected expenditures, or, subject to Section 6.2(b)(xiv), to increase expected expenditures and as so amended, any such amended budget shall be the Approved Budget hereunder.

Section 7.1    General.

The rights and responsibilities of the Members shall be as provided in the Delaware Certificate, this Agreement and the Act.

Section 7.2    Member Consent.

Except as provided in Section 6.2(b) and as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Consent of the Members shall constitute the approval by, or the authorization of, any action by or on behalf of the Company that requires a vote, consent, approval or action of or an election by the Members; provided, that, without the prior written approval of each Member adversely affected thereby, no such consent shall (a) modify the limited liability of a Member; (b) require a Member to provide funds to the Company, by loan, contribution or otherwise (or amend any of the conditions to making any loan or contribution); (c) alter the interest of any Member in Capital Accounts, Company Items, ITCs, distributions of Available Cash Flow; or (d) amend, supplement or otherwise modify Section 6.2(b), or this Section 7.2, or, in each case, any of the definitions of capitalized terms used therein.

(d)    To the fullest extent permitted under the Act and any other applicable Law as currently or hereafter in effect, no Member shall have any personal liability whatsoever, whether to the Company or to its creditors for the debts, obligations, expenses or liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, which shall be solely the debts, obligations, expenses or liabilities of the Company, or for any of its losses, in excess of the value of such Member’s Capital Account, except as expressly provided herein.

(e)    A Member shall be liable only to make its Capital Contributions as provided herein and, other than as specifically provided in Section 12.3, shall not be required to restore a deficit balance in its Capital Account. Except as provided in Section 3.3 no Member shall be required to make any additional contributions or to lend any funds to the Company. The failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business or affairs under this Agreement or the Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members or the Manager for liabilities of the Company.

(f)    To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Member and its respective officers, directors, managers, employees, direct and indirect owners, attorneys, contractors, representatives and agents shall be exculpated from, and the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless such Persons from and against, all Damages from Third Parties that result by virtue of the Member’s ownership of its Membership Interest; provided, however, that this indemnity does not apply: (i) to Damages that are attributable to the proven gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Person, (ii) to indemnity obligations of the Members pursuant to Section 11.1 of this Agreement, or (iii) to a Member acting in a capacity other than solely as a Member, in the event that any such Claim is asserted against any Member in its capacity in more than one role (such as, for the avoidance of doubt, the Class B Member’s role as Member and Manager).

(g)    To the fullest extent permitted by Law, reasonable and documented expenses actually incurred by an indemnified Person under this Section 7.3 shall, from time to time, be advanced by or on behalf of the Company from Available Cash Flow, prior to the final disposition of any matter upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking from a Person with sufficient credit capacity to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty existing at law or in equity, the Members and their respective Affiliates at any time and from time to time may engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of any and every type and description, including other business ventures competitive with, or of the same type and description as, the Company and the Subject Companies, independently or with others, as long as such venture does not cause any Subject Company to cease to hold any Energy Regulatory Approval or to become subject to regulation under PUHCA, other than with respect to regulations pertaining to maintaining Qualifying Facility status, as applicable, in each case with no obligation to offer to such Subject Company, the Company, any Member or any of their respective Affiliates the right to participate in, or share the results or profits of, those activities (even if those activities may be made possible or more profitable by reason of the Company’s or such Subject Company’s activities), except any activity that would cause a Member to be a Related Party.

substantially similar to the terms of this Section 7.7 (or in the case of advisors, are otherwise bound by professional or legal obligations of confidentiality), (vi) the Company, any such Member, the Manager and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors may disclose Confidential Information, and make such filings, as may be required by this Agreement or the Project Documents, (vii) any Member which is an insurance company or an Affiliate thereof may disclose such information to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and any rating agency requiring access to its portfolio, (viii) any Member and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors may disclose Confidential Information relating to any Project (but not Confidential Information relating to any other Member) to lenders, potential lenders or other Persons providing financing to any Person developing or proposing to develop the remaining phases of any Project and potential purchasers of equity interests in such Person or potential power or REC purchasers from such Persons, or to any Person in connection with the operation of any Project if, in each case described in this clause (viii), such Persons have agreed to abide by the terms of this Section 7.7 or have otherwise entered into a Contract with restrictions on disclosure substantially the same (and for not less than two (2) years in duration) as the terms of this Section 7.7 (or in the case of Advisors, are otherwise bound by professional or legal obligations of confidentiality), and (ix) any such Member may disclose Confidential Information to the IRS or any state taxing authority in connection with any communication regarding the tax consequences of any Project, any Subject Company’s ownership and operation of the applicable Project or such Member’s ownership of an interest in the Company; provided that such Member shall, as soon as practicable, notify the other Members of such disclosure, furnish a copy of any written material provided to the IRS or any state taxing authority to the other Members and, if practicable, afford the other Members reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed disclosure (but for the avoidance of doubt the other Members will not have the right to consent to such proposed disclosure). A Member’s obligations pursuant to this Article VII shall survive the Transfer of its Units.

(b)    The foregoing obligations shall not apply to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and each Member (and any employee, representative, or agent of any Member) may disclose to any and all Persons of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all other materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analysis) that are provided to any Member relating to such tax treatment and tax structure (all such information that may be disclosed being the “Tax Information”). However, any such Tax Information is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable securities laws. The preceding sentences are intended to cause the transactions contemplated hereby not to be treated as having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.6011‑4(b)(3) and ###-###-####‑2(a)(2)(ii) and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose. For purposes of this provision, the Tax Information includes only those facts that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and, to eliminate any doubt, therefore specifically does not include information that either reveals or standing alone or in the aggregate with other information so disclosed tends of itself to reveal or allow the recipient of the information to ascertain the identity of the Company or any Member or the Class B Member (or potential member), or any other third parties involved in any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any other potential transactions with any of the foregoing.

(c)    Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 7.7, no Member shall include in a press release or otherwise disclose (other than as required to be included in a filing to FERC, any Energy Regulatory Authority or any bank, insurance or financial industry regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Member, its affiliates or permitted transferees) the name of any Member as an equity investor or potential equity investor without the prior written consent of such Member which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d)    If the Company or any subsidiary thereof is required at any time to make any regulatory filing to the FERC or any Energy Regulatory Authority that identifies by name, or otherwise relates specifically to, any Member or any of its affiliates or permitted transferees, then the Company shall submit (or the Company shall cause its subsidiary to submit) an advance draft of such regulatory filing to such Member or its affiliate or permitted transferee, as applicable, as early as practicable in advance of the specified deadline imposed by FERC or such Energy Regulatory Authority or its regulations. Such Member (or its affiliate or permitted transferee, as applicable) shall have the right to provide comments to such regulatory filing as it relates to such Member (or its affiliate or permitted transferee), and the Company or its subsidiary shall incorporate or accommodate, prior to submitting such filing, such comments timely received. A Member’s failure to promptly provide such comments shall constitute approval of the making of such regulatory filing by the Company or subsidiary thereof.

(e)    If any Member is required at any time to make any regulatory filing (other than a filing to any bank, insurance or financial industry regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Member or its affiliates) that identifies by name, or otherwise relates specifically to, any other Member, then such Member shall submit an advance draft of the relevant portions of such regulatory filing to such other Member. Such other Member shall have the right to provide comments to such regulatory filing as it relates to such other Member, and the Member making such filing shall incorporate or accommodate, prior to submitting such filing, such reasonable comments. The Parties acknowledge and agree that from time to time a Member may be required to submit a regulatory filing or reporting that may be subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

Section 7.8    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.

The Tax Matters Member shall take such action as may be necessary to cause, to the extent possible, each other Member to become a “notice partner” within the meaning of Sections 6231(a)(8) and 6223 of the Code. In the event of any pending tax action, investigation, claim or controversy involving the Company which proposes or may result in an adjustment to any item reported on a federal tax return of the Class A Members, the Tax Matters Member, shall keep the other Members fully and timely informed by written notice of any audit, administrative or judicial proceedings, meetings or conferences with the IRS or other similar matters that come to its attention in its capacity as Tax Matters Member.

(b)    The Tax Matters Member shall not take any action contemplated by Code Sections 6221 through 6233 unless the Tax Matters Member has first given the Members timely written notice of the contemplated action. Other than as provided in Section 8.7(e), for any issue or matter relating to any Taxable Year, the Tax Matters Member shall not (i) commence a judicial action (including filing a petition as contemplated in Section 6226(a) or 6228 of the Code) with respect to a federal income tax matter or appeal any adverse determination of a judicial tribunal; (ii) enter into a settlement agreement with the IRS relating to any Company Item for any Taxable Year; (iii) intervene in any action as contemplated by Section 6226(b) of the Code; (iv) file any request contemplated in Section 6227 of the Code; or (v) enter into an agreement extending the period of limitations as contemplated in Section 6229(b)(1)(B) of Code, or (vi) take or not take any action in respect of an audit, contest or other tax matter or proceeding, in each case, the taking or omission of which, respectively, materially and adversely affects any tax item reported to the Class A Member on a Schedule K-1 and/or reported on any tax return of the Class A Member or in any manner materially delays the expected timing of the Class A Member’s achieving the Target IRR on the Target Flip Date. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Tax Matters Member shall have the right to defend against any proposed adjustments with respect to any “partnership item” (as defined in Section 6231(a)(3) of the Code) in the manner provided, and to the extent consistent with, Sections 6221 through 6223 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. With respect to any other partnership item of the Company not covered by the two preceding sentences, if any Member intends to file, pursuant to Section 6227 of the Code, a request

for an administrative adjustment of any such partnership item of the Company, or to file a petition under Sections 6226, 6228 or other Sections of the Code with respect to any such partnership item or any other tax matter involving the Company, such Member shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to any such filing, notify the other Members of such intent, which notification must include a reasonable description of the contemplated action and the reasons for such action. Any cost or expense incurred by the Tax Matters Member in connection with its duties, including, if relevant, the preparation for or pursuance of administrative or judicial proceedings, shall be paid by the Company. The Class A Member will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any Tax Matter relating to the Company is properly addressed as a “partnership item”, within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(3) of the Code, at the Company level. In the event that the Class A Member is unsuccessful in such efforts to cause the IRS to address such claim as a “partnership item,” the Class A Member shall, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, provide notification, information, documents, correspondence and a reasonable opportunity for the Class B Member to control such matter in the same degree as provided for under this Section 8.7.

(c)    Tax Returns.

(x)    Preparation of Tax Returns. The Tax Matters Member shall prepare, or cause to be prepared by the Certified Public Accountant, and timely file (on behalf of the Company) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed by the Company.

(a)    Until (i) the securities representing ownership of membership interests in the Company are effectively registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) the holder of such securities delivers to the Company a written opinion of counsel of such holder to the effect that such legend is no longer necessary under the Securities Act, the Company will cause each certificate representing its securities to be stamped or otherwise imprinted with the following legend:

THE MEMBERSHIP INTEREST REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAW OF ANY STATE. SUCH MEMBERSHIP INTEREST MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS SUBSEQUENTLY REGISTERED OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

Section 8.10    Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Members.

Each Member, severally but not jointly, represents, warrants, and with respect to clauses (f) and (g) below, covenants to the Company and each other Member with respect to itself only, that: (I) (x) the following statements are true and correct as of, with respect to the Member, the Effective Date, (y) the following statements are true and correct as of, with respect to any other Person hereafter admitted as a Member pursuant to this Agreement, the date such Person is so admitted as a Member, and (II) with respect to clauses (f) and (g) below, shall be true and correct at all times that such Person is a Member:

(a)    It is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.

(b)    It has the full right, power and authority to perform its obligations hereunder.

(c)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Member and the consummation by such Member of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary entity action required on the part of such Member, its respective members and their respective managing members (as applicable). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Member. This Agreement is a legal valid and binding obligation of such Member enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

(d)    It has such sophistication, knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits, risks and suitability of entering into the Transaction. It is acquiring its Membership Interest for its own account and not as a nominee or agent. It understands its Membership Interest have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act and are being acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of each Member’s investment intent and the accuracy of the Members’ respective representations as expressed herein. It understands that no public market now exists for the Membership Interests or any of the securities of the Company and that neither the Company nor any Member or Affiliate thereof has made any assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Membership Interests or the Company’s securities.

(e)    It has discussed the Transaction and the accounting and tax treatment that it intends to accord the Transaction with its independent advisors. It is solely responsible for deciding to enter into the Transaction and has not relied on any other party (save for any representations made in this Agreement), other than its independent advisors, in respect of the accounting or tax treatment to be applied to the Transaction, or the overall suitability of the Transaction. It is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of the Securities Act, and is able to bear the economic risk of losing its entire investment in the Company.

(f)    It will report the Transaction in accordance with this Agreement and its own applicable regulatory requirements, including the accounting and tax treatment to be accorded to the Transaction.

(g)    It is not now and it shall not become a Disqualified Entity or Related Party.

(h)    That no part of the aggregate Capital Contributions made by such Member and used by such Member to acquire any Units, constitutes Assets of any “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or other “benefit plan investor” (as defined in U.S. Department of Labor Reg. §§ 2510.3-101 et seq. and Section 3(42) of ERISA) or Assets allocated to any insurance company separate account or general account in which any such employee benefit plan or benefit plan investor (or related trust) has any interest.

(i)    It (or, if it is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes, the Person treated for federal income tax purposes as the owner of its assets) is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and is not subject to withholding under Section 1446 of the Code.

(j)    It will not take any action or change its status if such action or change would result in a breach of a Company covenant or is otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Fund Documents.

Section 8.11    Survival.

The representations, warranties and covenants herein shall be continuing agreements of the Members that made them and shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Company.

Section 9.1    Transfer Restrictions.

A Member may not Transfer or Encumber all or any portion of its Membership Interest, except in strict accordance with this Article IX. References in this Agreement to Transfers or Encumbrances of a “Membership Interest” shall also refer to Transfers or Encumbrances of a portion of a Membership Interest. Any attempted Transfer or Encumbrance of any Membership Interest, other than in strict accordance with this Article IX, shall be, and is hereby declared, null and void ab initio. The Members agree that a breach of the provisions of this Article IX may cause irreparable injury to the Company and to the other Members for which monetary damages (or other remedy at Law) are inadequate in view of (a) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of a Member to comply with such provision and (b) the uniqueness of the Company’s business and the relationship among the Members. Accordingly, the Members agree that the provisions of this Article IX may be enforced by specific performance.

Section 9.2    Permitted Transfers.

Prior to the expiration of the Investment Period, a Member may only Transfer (other than a Transfer pursuant to an Encumbrance entered into in accordance with Section 9.4) all or part of its Units (and the Class A Interest represented thereby) with the Consent of the Members. Following the expiration of the Investment Period, a Member may Transfer all or part of its Units (and Membership Interest represented thereby) to a Person that is not a Disqualified Transferee, provided that it satisfies the requirements of Section 9.3. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.2 to the contrary, a Transfer upon foreclosure (or in lieu of such foreclosure) under an Encumbrance on such Member’s Units permitted in accordance with Section 9.4 shall not require the approval by the Consent of the Members.

Section 9.3    Conditions to Transfers.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, all Transfers permitted hereby shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following requirements:

(h)    Transfer Documents. The following documents shall have been delivered by the Transferring Member to the Manager and each other Member:

(xxiii)    Notice. Written notice not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such Transfer.

(xxiv)    Transfer Instrument. An instrument executed by the Transferring Member and the Transferee implementing the Transfer, in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto or such other form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Manager (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and which contains: (A) the notice address of the Transferee; (B) if applicable, the Parent of the Transferee; (C) the number of Units as to each class of Membership Interest held by the Transferring Member and held by the Transferee after the Transfer (which must total the number of Units as to each class of Membership Interest held by the Transferring Member before the Transfer); (D) the Transferee’s ratification of this Agreement and its confirmation that the representations and warranties in Article VIII applicable to it are true and correct with respect to it; (E) the Transferee’s ratification of the Investment Documents to which the Transferring Member is a party and agreement to be bound by them to the same extent that the Transferring Member was bound by them prior to the Transfer, including the assumptions of all liabilities and obligations thereunder with respect to the Transferred Membership Interest (including, without limitation and for the avoidance of doubt, each Member’s indemnification obligations under Article XI in connection with any Indemnification Claims arising out of or resulting from actions of the Member (or any successor thereto) as Manager prior to any replacement of the Manager pursuant to Section 6.4); and (F) representations and warranties by the Transferring Member and its Transferee that the Transfer and the admission of the Transferee as a Member is being made in accordance with all applicable Law, and that the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 9.3 have been satisfied. Upon any such Transfer, the Manager shall update Annex I and the Register appropriately, and shall provide such updated Register to each Member.

(i)    Fund Documents. Such Transfer does not breach any provision of any Fund Document or any other Project Document.

(j)    Applicable Law; Securities Law. Such Transfer does not violate any provision of applicable Law, including, without limitation, applicable securities Law.

(k)    Tax Consequences.

(i)    Entity Classification. Such Transfer does not cause the Company to be classified as an entity other than a partnership (or cause the Company to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation) for purposes of the Code.

(ii)    Recapture. If such Transfer would occur prior to the end of the Recapture Period, such Transfer does not and will not result in the Recapture of any ITCs previously accrued to the Company.

(iii)    Termination. Such Transfer would not result in the Company’s termination within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code unless the transferee has indemnified the other Members against any adverse tax effects that result from such termination.

(iv)    Tax-Exempt Entity. Such Transfer is not to a tax-exempt entity (or, if the transferee is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes, the Person treated for federal income tax purposes as the owner of its assets is not a tax-exempt entity) (within the meaning of Section 168(h)(2) of the Code) and such Transfer, in the reasonable determination of the Company, does not present a material risk that any property of the Company or any Subject Company would thereby become “tax-exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h)(6) of the Code.

(l)    Payment of Expenses. The Transferring Member and the Transferee shall have paid or reimbursed the Company and each Member for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company and such Members in connection with the Transfer and admission, on or before the tenth (10^th) day after the receipt by such Persons of the Company’s or any such Member’s invoice for the amount due.

(m)    No Release. Such Transfer shall not effect a release of the Transferring Member from any liabilities to the Company or the other Members arising from events occurring prior to or in connection with the Transfer.

(o)    Consents and Permits. All consents, approvals and Licenses and Permits with respect to such Transfer shall have been obtained.

(p)    Investment Company Act. Such Transfer does not require the Company to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 9.4    Encumbrances of Membership Interest.

A Member may Encumber its Membership Interest, and any Parent of a Member may Encumber such Membership Interest indirectly, so long as the instrument creating such Encumbrance provides that any Transfer upon foreclosure of such Encumbrance (or Transfer in lieu of such foreclosure) shall, and the actual Transfer relating to such Encumbrance (whether through foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure) shall (a) not be to a Disqualified Transferee, (b) during the Investment Period, shall only be to a Qualified Transferee and (c) otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 9.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.4 (a) the Members agree to act in a commercially reasonable manner in connection with a financing in which a Member intends to grant a security interest in its Units and take such actions (or refrain from taking such actions) as are reasonably requested by such Member to facilitate the closing of such financing, including reasonably cooperating with such Member to enter into a consent to assignment, provided that such consent to assignment is reasonably acceptable to the Members, with such Member’s financing parties and (b) such Member may Encumber its Membership Interests pursuant to and subject to the terms of any such consent.

Section 9.5    Admission of Transferee as a Member.

Any Transferee in a Transfer permitted under Section 9.2 shall be admitted to the Company as a Member, with the Membership Interest so transferred to such Transferee, to the extent that (a) the Transferring Member making the Transfer has granted the Transferee the Transferring Member’s entire Membership Interest, or, in the case of Transfer of a part of such Member’s Membership Interest, the express right to be so admitted as a Member and (b) such Transfer is effected in strict compliance with Section 9.3.

Section 9.6    Purchase Option.

(f)    The Class B Members shall have an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Class A Units, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the Flip Date (each such period, a “Purchase Option Period”), and otherwise upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Purchase Option”). The purchase price of the Class A Units during the Purchase Option Period shall be the Fair Market Value of such Class A Units (determined in accordance with this Section 9.6) (the “Purchase Option Price”).

(g)    The Purchase Option may be exercised by a Class B Member by giving written notice (which notice shall be non-binding on such Class B Member and may only be given one time during the Purchase Option Period) (the “Preliminary Intent Notice”) to the Manager and the Class A Members of an intent to determine the Fair Market Value of such Class A Units. The Preliminary Intent Notice may be delivered as early as the first day of the Purchase Option Period and shall be delivered not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the end of the Purchase Option Period.

(h)    Within twenty (20) days after the date of the Preliminary Intent Notice, the Class A Members and any participating Class B Members will meet to discuss and negotiate in good faith to determine and agree upon the Fair Market Value of the Class A Units. If the Members agree upon such Fair Market Value, such value will be deemed to be the Fair Market Value for purposes hereof. If they fail to agree upon such value within thirty (30) days after the date of the Preliminary Intent Notice, the Company and the Class B Members shall, promptly thereafter, mutually select an appraiser for purposes of establishing such Fair Market Value.

(i)    Upon determining the Fair Market Value of the Class A Members’ Class A Units pursuant to Section 9.6(c), if the Class B Members desire to exercise the Purchase Option at such Fair Market Value, the Class B Members must deliver written notice (the “Intent Notice”) of such intent to exercise the Purchase Option to the Manager and the Class A Members within sixty (60) days of such determination of the Fair Market Value, specifying (subject to the time periods set forth in Section 9.6(e)) the effective date of the purchase. Once the Intent Notice has been delivered, the Purchase Option shall be irrevocable; provided that if the Class B Members fail to deliver an Intent Notice prior to the expiration of such 60-day time period, the Purchase Option shall be deemed to have expired and the Class A Members shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 9.6.

(j)    The closing for purchase and sale shall occur, subject to the receipt of applicable Licenses and Permits and any necessary approvals from any Governmental Authority, including the approvals, if any, required under the HSR Act or required by FERC or any Energy Regulatory Authority, on the later of the thirtieth (30^th) Business Day following the date of the Intent Notice, the twentieth (20^th) Business Day following the determination of the Fair Market Value of the Class A Units, and the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the receipt of such Licenses and Permits and necessary approvals from any Governmental Authority. At the closing, each Class A Member shall convey all of its Class A Units to the participating Class B Members (or their designee(s)) on an “as is, where is” basis without representations or warranties, expressed or implied, other than valid title that no Encumbrance against its Class A Units then exists that has been created by, through or under the Class A Members or any Affiliate thereof other than those created pursuant to this Agreement. At the closing, (a) the Class B Members shall expressly assume any and all obligations and liabilities of the Class A Members under this Agreement and any other Investment Document, as applicable (except those obligations and liabilities accrued through the date of such closing), (b) the Members shall amend this Agreement to reflect the withdrawal of the Class A Members and the transfer of the Class A Units effective as of the date of such closing, and (c) the Class B Members shall pay the Purchase Option Price of the Class A Units to the Class A Members by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Section 9.7    Terminated Member.

Upon the closing of a Transfer by a Member of all of its Membership Interest in the Company in accordance with this Article IX, the following provisions shall apply to the Transferring Member (now a “Terminated Member”):

(a)    The Terminated Member shall cease to be a Member immediately upon the occurrence of such closing.

(b)    The Terminated Member shall no longer be entitled to receive any distributions (including liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 12.2) or allocations from the Company, and it shall not be entitled to exercise any voting or consent rights or to receive any further information (or access to information) from the Company (other than any required tax information).

(c)    The Terminated Member must pay (i) to the Company all amounts owed to the Company by the Terminated Member and (ii) to each other Member all amounts owed to such Member by the Terminated Member.

(d)    The Terminated Member shall remain obligated for all liabilities it may have under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Company that accrue prior to the closing.

(e)    The Membership Interest, including the Capital Account balance attributable thereto, of the Terminated Member shall be allocated among the applicable Transferees in proportion to the relative Transferred Units acquired by such Transferee.

Section 10.1    Aggregate Tracking Model.

(d)    The Manager will calculate at least annually whether the Flip Point has occurred and will send the Members, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Tax Return for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year was filed, a report in the form of the Aggregate Tracking Model showing where it believes the Class A Units are in relation to the Flip Point. If the report suggests that the Flip Point will occur within the next two (2) Fiscal Years, then the Manager will calculate for each Fiscal Quarter thereafter whether the Flip Point has occurred, and will send the Class A Members such report within forty-five (45) days after the end of the applicable Fiscal Quarter.

(e)    If the Manager calculates and determines that the Flip Point will occur upon the distribution of Available Cash Flow at the next Distribution Date, then no less than thirty (30) days prior to the Distribution Date, the Manager shall provide such calculation to the Class A Members in the Aggregate Tracking Model specifying the Flip Date, and the portion of the Available Cash Flow to be distributed to the Class A Members under Article V and the portion of Company Items to be allocated to the Class A Members under Article IV prior to the Flip Date and after the Flip Date.

(f)    Prior to making any liquidating distribution pursuant to Section 12.2, the Manager shall calculate and determine as to whether the Flip Point will occur in connection with the liquidation of the Company. No less than thirty (30) days prior to making such distribution, the Manager shall provide such calculation to the Members in the Aggregate Tracking Model specifying the Flip Date (or stating that the Manager has concluded that the Flip Date will not occur), and the portion of the liquidation proceeds to be distributed to the Class A Members and the portion of the Company Items to be allocated to the Class A Members under Section 12.2 prior to the Flip Date and after the Flip Date.

(g)    The Manager will make its advisers (if any) available to answer any questions about its calculations and reports made under this Section 10.1. Any Class A Member may invoke the dispute resolution procedures in Section 10.3 to resolve any item or procedure that is in dispute. In the event no objection to a calculation provided to the Class A Members under subsection (b) or (c) is received by the Manager from the Members immediately prior to the Distribution Date or the date of the liquidating distribution, as the case may be, then the Flip Date shall be deemed to have occurred or not to have occurred, as the case may be, as specified in such calculation, and the distributions and allocations as reflected in such calculations and reports shall govern for the applicable taxable period. In the event such an objection is received by the Manager, then the determination of the Flip Date and the making of the distributions (and all subsequent distributions of Available Cash Flow or liquidation proceeds) shall be suspended until the Flip Date and corresponding distributions and allocations are finally determined as provided in Section 10.3.

Section 10.2    Calculation Rules and Conventions.

In performing the calculations and making the determinations with respect to the Flip Point as described in Section 10.1, the Manager shall employ the following calculation rules and conventions:

(q)    Basis. The calculation shall be made on the basis of each Class A Unit issued to the Class A Members and any Capital Contribution made pursuant to this Agreement.

(r)    Continuity of Ownership. The Manager shall treat ownership of the Class A Units as being continuous from the Effective Date to the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the date of distribution of liquidation proceeds) as of which the calculation is being made, without regard to any change in ownership of the Class A Units during such period.

(s)    Cash Distributions. The cash distributions taken into account in determining the After‑Tax IRR with respect to each Class A Unit shall consist solely of distributions to the Holder of such Class A Unit made on any Distribution Date or date of distribution of liquidation proceeds (or to be made on the Distribution Date or date of distribution of liquidation proceeds as of which date the After‑Tax IRR is being determined) (the “Cash Distributions”). Also taken into account in determining the After‑Tax IRR are any amounts received by the Holder of the Class A Unit as proceeds from the sale of RECs or other revenue attributable to any Fund Company assets, or a recovery or replacement of, or indemnity or compensation for the loss of, an item which would otherwise be taken into account in the foregoing.

(t)    Tax Payment Dates. The distributive share of Company items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and ITCs as determined for federal income tax purposes allocated by the Company to the Holder of such Class A Unit and any gain recognized by such Holder under Section 731(a) of the Code, shall be calculated in accordance with a set of Tax Assumptions specified in the Fund Addendum applicable to all Projects within each particular Fund.

(u)    Tax Costs and Tax Benefits.

(i)    Tax Benefits and Tax Costs shall be calculated on the basis of certain specified Tax Assumptions set forth in the Fund Addendum. The Tax Assumptions set forth in a Fund Addendum shall apply to all Tax Benefits and Tax Costs relating to or arising from all the Projects subject to the applicable Fund Addendum. With respect to all Projects in any Fund, Tax Benefits shall be recalculated to include any federal income tax benefit, deduction, and credit that would have been realized by the Class A Member, but which is not so recognized as the result of the breach of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Class A Member in this Agreement.

(ii)    For the avoidance of doubt, in all respects outside those described in Section 10.2(e)(i) the After‑Tax IRR shall be based upon the present value of the Tax Costs and Tax Benefits (in accordance with the definition of After-Tax IRR), without any adjustment or recalculation, 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 Tax Returns, and as subsequently adjusted as a result of any amended Tax Return or a final determination in any federal income tax audit or subsequent administrative or judicial proceeding.

(v)    Method of Determining the Flip Date; Pro Ration of Distributions.

(i)    If, as of any Distribution Date, the Manager calculates that the Flip Point has occurred during the calendar month preceding such Distribution Date (taking account of the distribution of the Class A Eligible Cash Flow on such Distribution Date) the Manager will calculate the lowest percentage (the “Trigger Percentage”) which, when applied to such Class A Cash Flow, will result in a Class A Unit receiving an amount of Class A Eligible Cash Flow (such amount of cash calculated using such Trigger Percentage, the “Cash Trigger Amount”) which will cause the Flip Point to occur. The Cash Trigger Amount shall be deemed to precede the Flip Date and shall be distributed to the Holders of Class A Units (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.1(a)) and the remainder of such Available Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Holders of Class A Units and Class B Units under Section 5.1(a)(iii).

(ii)    If, prior to a distribution of liquidation proceeds, the Manager calculates that the Flip Point will occur (taking into account the expected distribution of liquidation proceeds), the Manager will calculate, using an iterative process, the percentage of the liquidation proceeds which, if distributed in accordance with Section 12.2(a)(v), will cause the sum of (A) the cash distributions to be made pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(v) on the date of distribution of liquidation proceeds to the extent such distributions are attributable to pro rata allocations pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(iv)(A) and (B) the Tax Benefits or Tax Costs arising from the allocation of tax attributes of the Company for the taxable period in which the date of distribution of liquidation proceeds occurs as a result of such cash distribution, to cause the Flip Point to occur. Such calculation shall be taken into account in making the allocations under Section 12.2(a)(iv) in such manner as to ensure that, to the greatest extent feasible, the balances in the Capital Accounts of the Members are expected to result in distributions pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(v) in accordance with the target liquidation distributions contemplated in Section 12.2(a)(iv)(A) and Section 12.2(a)(iv)(B).

(w)    End of Year True Up.

(i)    Prior to filing the Tax Return for the Taxable Year which includes the Flip Date, the Manager shall compare the Tax Benefits and Tax Costs for the portion of the Taxable Year through the calendar month in which such Flip Date was determined to have occurred, as taken into account in the calculation of such Flip Date, with the Tax Benefits and Tax Costs for such period as determined using the amounts reflected in the Tax Return as proposed to be filed, other than to the extent of any difference in such calculation of the Flip Date and such amounts reflected in the Tax Returns as the result of the application of the provisions of Section 10.2(e) or the calculation assumptions and conventions in this Section 10.2. In the event of any difference (disregarding de minimis amounts) the Manager shall apply such adjustments ratably to the Tax Payment Dates for such Taxable Year and shall re-calculate the Trigger Percentage based upon the amounts reflected in such return and shall (A) adjust the Flip Date accordingly (including by advancing or retarding the Flip Date to a prior or subsequent calendar month), and (B) determine the difference (the “Cash Difference”) between the actual cash distribution to the Class A Members on the Distribution Date immediately following the month in which such Flip Date was originally determined to have occurred (and any subsequent Distribution Dates, if relevant) and the cash distribution which would have been made on such Distribution Date(s) based on the recalculated Trigger Percentage (it being acknowledged that any difference between the Tax Benefits and Tax Costs assumed to be allocable to the Class A Interest at the time such Flip Date was first determined and the amounts of such Tax Benefits and Tax Costs reflected in the allocations pursuant to the Tax Return actually filed has been reflected in the final determination of such Flip Date under this paragraph (i)).

(ii)    Upon becoming final pursuant to this Section 10.2(g), the Manager shall apply the adjusted Flip Date for all purposes of this Agreement. On the Distribution Date immediately following the calculation becoming final, the sharing percentages set forth in Section 4.2(a)(ii) and Section 5.1(a)(iii) shall be adjusted to the maximum extent necessary so as to correct the Cash Difference on a present value basis calculated at the Target IRR, which adjusted sharing percentages shall remain in effect until elimination of the Cash Difference.

Section 10.3    Flip Date, Tax Return Dispute.

If any Class A Member shall dispute any item or procedure or calculation of, or which affects, the Flip Date contained in any notice or report delivered to such Class A Member under this Article X, such Class A Member shall notify the Manager within ten (10) days following receipt of the notice or report disputed. In such case, such Class A Member’s notification will set forth in reasonable detail such Class A Member’s objections or disagreements, and the Parties shall attempt in good faith to promptly resolve any differences as to the matters so disputed. If the Parties are unable to resolve any such differences within ten (10) days after the date of such Class A Member’s notice, then the actual determination shall be finally referred to a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm (which may or may not be the Certified Public Accountant) selected by the Class A Members (by vote of the Consent of the Class A Members), which accounting firm will be asked to designate one of its partners to act as an independent expert for purposes of this Section 10.3 (the “Independent Expert”). Such Class A Member and the Manager shall submit the Aggregate Tracking Model, the proposed Tax Return and pertinent information, books and records, as applicable, and all other data necessary for the Independent Expert to make his determination, including any additional data requested by the Independent Expert. The Independent Expert shall keep confidential all information submitted to him in connection with his resolution of the dispute(s) hereunder. The Independent Expert shall be requested to render his determination as promptly as possible after he receives all necessary data and materials. The determination of the Independent Expert resolving a dispute pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties, and such determination shall apply for all subsequent periods to any item or procedure substantially similar to that determined hereunder. The Company shall pay the fees of the Independent Expert incurred for such determination.

Section 11.1    Indemnification by the Members.

(x)    Indemnification by the Class B Member. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XI, each Class B Member shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless each Class A Member and its respective parent or subsidiary companies, shareholders, partners, members and other Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, attorneys, contractors and agents (collectively, the “Class A Parties”), from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, Taxes, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, including such fees and expenses at trial and on any appeal), of any nature whatsoever (collectively, “Damages”) asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by the Class A Parties, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from (i) any breach or failure by a Class B Member (whether in its capacity as a Class B Member, the Manager, the Tax Matters Member or otherwise), of any of its respective representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or agreements contained in any Investment Document or any certificate delivered thereunder or hereunder, (ii) any indemnity obligation due and payable to a Fund Investor under the Fund Documents (unless caused by the breach or failure by the a Class A Member of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Investment Document), (iii) any underdeployment penalty or other amount due and payable to a Fund Investor under the Fund Documents as a result of a reduction of such Fund Investor’s capital contributions under the Fund Documents; (iv) any breach or failure of any representations or warranties of any Subject Company to any Fund Investor regarding any Project which are contained in any Fund Document; or (v) any breach or failure of any representations or warranties of any seller under a purchase agreement to any Fund Investor or Fund Company regarding any Project, where such seller is an Affiliate of the Class B Member (collectively, “Class A Claims”). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that representations or warranties described in clause (v) of the preceding sentence are made to a Fund Investor and not to the applicable Fund Company, Damages shall: (i) include Damages resulting from a claim by the Fund Investor, and (ii) be determined as if such representations and warranties were made to the Fund Company as well as the Fund Investor. To the extent that any such Damages relating to an Investor Claim remain unpaid after a claim has been properly made therefor pursuant to this Article XI that is not subject to a bona fide dispute, any distributions otherwise payable to the Class B Members under this Agreement shall be used to satisfy the obligations of each Class B Member (whether in its capacity as a Class B Member, the Manager, the Tax Matters Member or otherwise), hereunder.

(y)    Indemnification by the Class A Member. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XI, each Class A Member shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless each Class B Member and its respective parent or subsidiary companies, shareholders, partners, members and other Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, attorneys, contractors and agents (collectively, the “Class B Parties” and together with the Class A Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and Damages asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by the Class B Parties, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from (i) any breach or failure by the Class A Member of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Investment Document or any certificate delivered thereunder or hereunder, or (ii) any indemnity obligation due and payable to a Fund Investor under the Fund Documents only if caused by the breach or failure by the a Class A Member of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Investment Document (collectively, “Class B Claim” and together with an Investor Claim, an “Indemnity Claim”). To the extent that any such Damages relating to a Class B Claim remain unpaid after a claim has been properly made therefor pursuant to this Article XI that is not subject to a bona fide dispute, any distributions otherwise payable to the Class A Members under this Agreement shall be used to satisfy the obligations of each Class A Member hereunder.

(z)    Indemnification by the Sponsor. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XI, to the extent that any Damages relating to a Class A Claim remain unpaid after a claim has been properly made therefor pursuant to this Article XI that is not subject to a bona fide dispute, the Sponsor shall pay to the Class A Parties any amounts validly due from the Class B Members under the indemnity obligations set out in Section 11.1(a) above. If any claim is made under this Section 11.1(c), the Sponsor shall have all of the rights of an Indemnifying Member (as defined below).

Section 11.2    Limitation on Liability.

The indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article XI shall be subject to the following limitations:

(h)    The amount of Damages for which a Member is obligated to indemnify with respect to any Indemnity Claim shall be reduced to the extent of any amounts actually received by the applicable Class A Parties or Class B Parties, as applicable, after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the insurance policies obtained and maintained by the Company or any Subject Company (if any) covering such claim or any insurance proceeds from policies obtained and maintained by or for the benefit of any such Person or any Affiliate thereof be considered in connection with a reduction of Damages pursuant to this Section 11.2(a).

(i)    Damages paid pursuant to this Article XI shall be treated as a non-taxable adjustment to purchase price or return of capital for federal income tax purposes unless the Class A Member receives an opinion at a “more likely than not” level or higher from a nationally-recognized law firm that such amount is taxable. If such opinion is received, Damages paid pursuant to this Article XI shall be grossed-up and paid on an After‑Tax Basis. To the extent an Indemnified Party subsequently recovers all or a part of the Damages indemnified under this Article XI, the Indemnified Party shall promptly refund the applicable Member(s) that paid such Damages the recovered Damages on an After‑Tax Basis; provided that any such refund shall not exceed the original amount paid to the Indemnified Party by the applicable Member(s) (on an After‑Tax Basis) hereunder.

(j)    The indemnification obligations under this Article XI shall be limited to actual Damages and shall not include special, incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, or exemplary Damages (including lost profits and damages for a lost opportunity); provided, that any incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, or exemplary Damages recovered by a third party (including Governmental Authorities) against a Person entitled to indemnity pursuant to this Article XI shall be included in the Damages recoverable under such indemnity; and provided, further, that the loss, disallowance or reduction of ITCs shall not be considered as special, incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive or exemplary Damage and shall be included in the Damages recoverable under this indemnity, but, with respect to Damages for the loss, disallowance or reduction of ITCs, only with respect to a loss, disallowance or reduction arising after the Effective Date and prior to the ten (10) year anniversary of the latest Placed in Service Date for any Project.

(k)    No Indemnified Party may receive compensation for Damages suffered by such Person to the extent that such Damages are attributable to (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (ii) the breach of any representation or warranty by such Indemnified Party in this Agreement to the extent such representation or warranty was false when made.

Section 11.3    Procedure for Indemnification.

After receipt by an Indemnified Party under Section 11.1 of notice of the commencement of any action, or any other actual or potential Indemnity Claim, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against a Member (the “Indemnifying

Member”), give written notice thereof to such Indemnifying Member. The failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Member shall not relieve such Indemnifying Member of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party with respect to such action; provided that, to the extent that any such failure to provide prompt notice is responsible for an increase in the indemnity obligations of the Indemnifying Member, the Indemnifying Member shall not be responsible for any such increase. In the case of any such action brought against an Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party has given written notice to the Indemnifying Member of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Member shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. If the Indemnifying Member elects to assume the defense of such action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own expense and to participate in the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Member elects not to assume (or fails to assume) the defense of such action, or at any time fails diligently to pursue such defense, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such action with counsel of its own choice, at the expense of the Indemnifying Member. If the action is asserted against both the Indemnifying Member and the Indemnified Party and (a) there is a conflict of interests which renders it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Member and the Indemnified Party or (b) such action could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of criminal liability, the Indemnifying Member shall be responsible for paying for separate counsel for the indemnified party; provided, however, that if there is more than one Indemnified Party and it is practical for all such parties to be represented by common counsel, the Indemnifying Member shall not be responsible for paying for more than one separate firm of attorneys to represent the indemnified parties, regardless of the number of indemnified parties. If the Indemnifying Member elects to assume the defense of such action, (y) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Member without the indemnified party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Member and (z) the Indemnifying Member shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the Indemnifying Member has failed to defend such Indemnified Party against such action.

Section 11.4    Exclusivity.

The Parties agree that, (a) except with respect to fraud or willful misconduct, in relation to any breach, default, or nonperformance of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement made or entered into by a Member (whether in its capacity as a Member, the Manager, the Tax Matters Member or otherwise) pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate, instrument, or document delivered pursuant hereto or arising out of the transactions contemplated herein, the only relief and remedy available to the other Members in respect of Damages fully recoverable and addressed by the payment of money shall be as set forth in this Article XI, but only to the extent properly claimable hereunder and as limited pursuant to this Article XI or otherwise hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, no Party has waived any rights to pursue equitable remedies under this Agreement or the other Investment Documents.

Section 11.5    No Right of Contribution.

After the Effective Date, the Company shall have no liability to indemnify a Member on account of the breach of any representation or warranty or the nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement of the Company; and no Member shall have any right of contribution against the Company.

Section 11.6    Entire Agreement.

Article XI of this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to indemnification hereunder.

Section 12.1    Dissolution.

(l)    The Company will dissolve and its business and affairs will be wound up on the first to occur of the following (the “Liquidating Events”):

(i)    The unanimous consent of the Members to dissolve the Company;

(ii)    Any other event upon the occurrence of which dissolution is required by the Act (that the Act does not allow to be waived by agreement of the Parties), unless, to the extent permitted by the Act, Members (other than the Member with respect to which such event occurs) unanimously elect in writing, within ninety (90) days of the date such event described in this Section 12.1(a)(ii) occurs, to continue the business of the Company, in which case the Company will not dissolve; or

(iii)    The sale, transfer or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its business and Assets.

(m)    Each Member agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, it will not dissolve itself or the Company or withdraw from the Company except as set forth in Section 12.1(a).

Section 12.2    Liquidation and Termination.

(g)    On dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall, with the Consent of the Class A Members, act as liquidator. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided in this Agreement. The costs of liquidation will be borne as a Company Expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company with all of the power and authority of the Members. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(xi)    As promptly as reasonably practicable after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by the Certified Public Accountant of the Company’s Assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.

(xii)    The liquidator shall pay from Company funds all of the debts and liabilities of the Company or otherwise make adequate provision for them (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).

(xiii)    With respect to the remaining Assets of the Company:

(A)    the liquidator shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best possible price and may sell any or all Company Assets (subject to any and all restrictions to which any Project is subject), including to the Members at such price, but in no event lower than the Fair Market Value thereof; and

(B)    with respect to all Company Assets that have not been sold, the Values of such Assets shall be determined pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Value.

(xiv)    Any Company Items of income and gain (including any such items attributable to the disposition or deemed disposition of Assets pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(iii) for the Taxable Year during which the distribution of liquidation proceeds occurs that have not been allocated pursuant to the Regulatory Allocations shall first be allocated to each Member having a deficit balance in its Capital Account, in the proportion that such deficit balance bears to the total deficit balances in the Capital Accounts of all Members, until each Member has been allocated Company Items of income and gain equal to any such deficit balance in its Capital Account and such deficit balance has thereby been eliminated. Any remaining Company Items for such Taxable Year during which the distribution of liquidation proceeds occurs shall be allocated among the Members in such manner as to ensure that, to the greatest extent feasible, following these allocations, the balances in the Capital Accounts of the Members are expected to result in distributions pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(v) in accordance with the following target liquidation distributions:

(A)    first, to the Class A Members and the Class B Members in accordance with the sharing ratios set forth in Section 5.1(a)(i), until the Flip Point shall occur; and

(B)    thereafter, to the Class A Members and the Class B Members in accordance with the sharing ratios set forth in Section 5.1(a)(iii) hereof as being applicable after the Flip Date.

(xv)    After giving effect to all allocations (including those under Section 4.2 and Section 12.2(a)(iv)), all prior distributions (including those under Section 5.1) and all Capital Contributions (including those under Section 3.1, Section 3.2 and Section 3.3) for all periods, all remaining cash and property (including any Available Cash Flow and liquidation proceeds) shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts.

(xvi)    Any distribution to the Members in respect of their Capital Accounts pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall be made by the end of the Company taxable year in which a Liquidating Event occurs (or if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such Liquidating Event).

(h)    The distribution of cash or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.2 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member on account of its Membership Interest and all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented pursuant to Section 18-502(b) of the Act.

Section 12.3    Deficit Capital Accounts.

(k)    Except as expressly provided in this Section 12.3, no Member shall be obligated to contribute cash to restore a deficit in its Capital Account balance.

(l)    In the event the Class A Member’s interests in the Company are “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), if the Class A Member has a deficit Capital Account balance in excess of the amount such Class A Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) (an “Adjusted Deficit Capital Account Balance”), then the Class A Member shall be obligated to pay and restore to the Company cash in an amount equal to such Adjusted Deficit Capital Account Balance by the end of the Taxable Year during which the liquidation of the Company occurs, or if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation; provided, however, that such restoration obligation of the Class A Member shall not, under any circumstances be more than its DRO Amount.

Section 12.4    Termination.

On completion of the satisfaction of liabilities and distribution of Assets as provided in this Agreement, the Manager (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and cancel any other filings made as provided in Section 2.1, and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the existence of the Company. Upon the filing of such certificate of cancellation, the existence of the Company shall terminate (and the term of the Company shall end), except as may be otherwise provided by the Act or other applicable Law. All costs and expenses in fulfilling the obligations under this Section 12.4 shall be borne by the Company.

Section 13.1    Offset.

Whenever the Company (or another Person on behalf of the Company) is to pay any sum to any Member, any amounts then owed by such Member to the Company may be deducted from such sum before payment, provided that no Member’s obligation to make Capital Contributions may be deducted from any payment amounts without such Member’s consent.

Section 13.2    Notices.

All notices, consents, demands, requests or other communications which may be or are required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall (a) be sent by overnight courier, facsimile, electronic mail or United States mail, addressed to the recipient, postage paid, and registered or certified, return receipt requested, or delivered to the recipient in person and (b) be sent or delivered, in each case, at the addresses set forth on the signature page of this Agreement or such other address as a Member may specify by notice to the Company and the other Members; provided, that any Fund Documents, financial models or reports required to be delivered under this Agreement shall be emailed to (i) with respect to residential Projects, ***@***, and (ii) with respect to commercial or industrial Projects, ***@***, and additionally, may be uploaded to a data site mutually agreed to by the Members, including by allowing access to a Member to a Fund Company data site, as long as such Members are delivered notice by one of the other means allowed hereunder when and where such documents are available. Any notice, request or consent to the Company must be given to the Manager. Notices, consents, demands, requests and other communications shall be deemed effective or served on the date of receipt at the address of the Person to receive it.

Section 13.3    Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each bearing the signatures of one or more Members. Each such counterpart shall be considered an original and all of such counterparts shall constitute a single agreement binding all the parties as if all had signed a single document. Facsimile, electronic mail or pdf signatures shall be accepted as original signatures for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 13.4    Governing Law and Severability.

This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws and decisions of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions of any other state or jurisdiction that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. If any provision of this Agreement shall be contrary to any other applicable Law, at the present time or in the future, such provision shall be deemed null and void, but this shall not affect the legality of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be deemed to be modified and amended so as to be in compliance with applicable Law and this Agreement shall then be construed in such a way as will best serve the intention of the Parties at the time of the execution of this Agreement.

Section 13.5    Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, including any Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits, together with the other Investment Documents, constitutes the entire agreement among the Members regarding the terms and operations of the Company, except as amended in writing pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, statements, understandings and representations of the Parties.

Section 13.6    Effect of Waiver or Consent.

A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations under this Agreement, or any Investment Document is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement, or any Investment Document. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to its obligations under this Agreement, or any Investment Document, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has run.

Section 13.7    Amendment or Modification.

Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by a written instrument executed by all Members.

Section 13.8    Binding Effect.

Subject to the restrictions on Transfers set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Members and their respective legal representatives, permitted successors and permitted assigns.

Section 13.9    Further Assurances.

In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those transactions contemplated here, including all filing, recording, publishing and other acts appropriate to comply with all requirements for the operation of a limited liability company under the laws of all jurisdictions where the Company shall conduct business.

Section 13.10    Jurisdiction.

The Parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York and the Federal District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan, State of New York, and any court of appeal from either thereof, in connection with any action or other proceeding relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party irrevocably waives and agrees not to make, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the jurisdiction of any such court or to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 13.11    LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.2, NO DAMAGES SHALL BE MADE BY ANY PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST OPPORTUNITY, LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR LOSS OF USE OF SUCH PROFITS OR REVENUES) (WHETHER OR NOT THE CLAIM THEREFORE IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, DUTY IMPOSED BY LAW OR OTHERWISE), IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER INVESTMENT DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE UPON ANY SUCH CLAIM FOR ANY SUCH SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT TO THE EXTENT A BREACH RESULTS IN THE LOSS, DISALLOWANCE OR REDUCTION OF ITCS, THE VALUE OF SUCH LOST, DISALLOWED OR REDUCED ITCS TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.2 SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES.
