At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.

(2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon an exchange pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 3.10, 4.37, 4.38, 4.39, 4.40, 4.41, 4.42 or 9.04 hereof).

(3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(5) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required:

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption or tendered for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or unpurchased in part; or

(7) The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

(8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile or email.

Section 2.07

Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their respective satisfaction of the ownership, destruction, loss or theft of any Note, in the absence of evidence that such Note is actually held by a protected purchaser (as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York), the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08

Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York).

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue from and after the date of such payment.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date, any date of purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09

Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by any Financing Entity, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with any Financing Entity, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10

Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11

Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company upon the written request of the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12

Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or will make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company and provision by the Company of such notice information, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13

CUSIP Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or in Offers to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or Offer to Purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01

Notices to Trustee.

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth:

(1) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

(2) the redemption date;

(3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and

(4) the redemption price, if then ascertainable.

Section 3.02

Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

In the event that less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased at any time, the selection of Notes for redemption or purchase will be made by the Trustee in the case of certificated Notes and by DTC in all other cases, in each case, in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not then listed on a securities exchange or market, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the Trustee in the case of certificated Notes and by DTC in all other cases, in each case, shall deem fair and appropriate (subject to the procedures of the Depositary), provided that no Notes of an original principal amount of $100,000 or less may be redeemed in part and Notes of an original principal amount of in excess of $100,000 may be redeemed in multiples of $1,000 only.

In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the then outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

After the redemption date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed in part only, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note, representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed, will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate book entries made to reflect such partial redemption).

Section 3.03

Notice of Redemption.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, by electronic transmission), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address (or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the

Depositary), except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes, a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or a Change of Control pursuant to Articles 4, 8 or 11 hereof. Any redemption notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction.

The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest;;

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof (which shall not be less than $100,000, as reduced by any scheduled principal payments on such Note) will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

(4) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(6) that, unless the Company fails to deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to make such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;

(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number of the Notes, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and

(9) if applicable, any condition to such redemption.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least two Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04

Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price, except as provided for in clause (9) of Section 3.03 and in Section 3.07(a). The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, will be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

Section 3.05

Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

Except as provided in Section 3.10, pursuant to the terms of the Depositary Agreement, the Company will instruct the Depositary Agent to transfer to or deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent, or in the case of Section 3.10, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent, on the redemption or purchase date (or such later time to which the Trustee may reasonably agree), money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with or transferred to the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, and upon receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent of money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased from the Depositary Agent as applicable, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note to the Paying Agent that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. In the event of any redemption or purchase of any Note in part, each remaining scheduled principal payment provided in Schedule 1 to Exhibits A1 and A2 shall be reduced on a pro rata basis in respect of Notes issued pursuant to this Section 3.06. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate any such new Note issued pursuant to this Section 3.06.

Section 3.07

Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company will have the right, at its option, to redeem any of the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to their maturity, on at least 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ notice mailed or otherwise delivered to each Holder of the Notes in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, as provided in Section 3.03, at a redemption price equal to (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes being redeemed, plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes being redeemed up to, but not including, the redemption date, plus (3) the Make-Whole Amount (subject to the rights of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Interest payable on any interest payment date occurring after a notice of optional redemption is delivered but prior to the applicable redemption date specified in such notice shall be paid to the holders of such Notes as of the close of business on the applicable interest payment record date.

(b) Except pursuant to Section 3.07(a) hereof, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option.

(c) Unless the Company fails to deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to make such redemption payment, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

(d) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 3.08

Sinking Fund.

The Company is not required to make sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.09

Mandatory Redemption.

In the event that the Company is required to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, with any Loss Proceeds, any Title Event Proceeds, any Asset Sale Proceeds, any Project Contract Termination Proceeds, any Tax Equity Option Payment, the Whitetail Wind Project Prepayment Amount, any accumulated amounts in the Distribution Suspense Account or otherwise (collectively “Mandatory Redemption Amounts”) pursuant to Sections 4.37, 4.38, 4.39, 4.40, 4.41 or 4.42 hereof (a “Mandatory Redemption”), it will follow the procedures specified below in this Section, in such Sections (as the case may be) and in the Depositary Agreement.

The Company shall make any such prepayment on the Notes (i) at one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount so prepaid and without payment of the Make-Whole Amount or any premium, and (ii) where specified in the Depositary Agreement, on a pro rata basis with the Credit Facilities Obligations and/or Replacement Credit Facilities Obligations, in accordance with Sections 4.37, 4.38, 4.39, 4.40, 4.41 or 4.42 (as the case may be).

Promptly upon the transfer of any Mandatory Redemption Amounts to the Note Redemption Account, the Company shall, with written notice to the Trustee, set a Redemption Date, which Redemption Date shall be within sixty (60) days following the transfer of monies to the Note Redemption Account in respect of the event giving rise to the Notes being subject to redemption.

If the Redemption Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes are purchased pursuant to such Mandatory Redemption.

If any amount remains in the Note Redemption Account after consummation of such Mandatory Redemption, the Company shall direct the Depositary to transfer such amount to the Revenue Account pursuant to the terms of the Depositary Agreement.

Upon the commencement of a Mandatory Redemption, the Company will send by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, pursuant to Section 3.03.

On the Redemption Date, the Depositary Agent shall transfer from the Note Redemption Account to the Trustee an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to such Mandatory Redemption. The Trustee, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Redemption Date) mail or deliver to each

Holder an amount equal to the redemption price of the Notes being redeemed pursuant to such Mandatory Redemption in accordance with the Company’s written instructions, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 3.10

Change of Control; Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, each Holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion (equal to $100,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, without premium or penalty). Within ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of any Change of Control, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, the Company will send, by first-class mail a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.10 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 90 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer must accept and not thereafter withdraw, such offer by delivering written notice of acceptance to the Trustee within 30 days following the date of the Change of Control Offer (the “Offer Period”), it being understood that each Holder shall have the right to accept such Change of Control Offer prior to the expiration of the applicable Offer Period;

(4) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(5) that, unless the Company fails to make the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the fifth Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and

(8) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.

If necessary, the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder solely to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.10 by virtue of such compliance.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the terms of the Change of Control Offer;

The Paying Agent will promptly mail (but in any case not later than five days after the Change of Control Payment Date) to each Holder that properly tendered Notes the Change of Control Payment for such Notes (or if a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Paying Agent, promptly make such payment in accordance with such instructions), and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any.

Interest payable on any interest payment date occurring after a Change of Control Offer but prior to the specified date for the Change of Control Payment shall be paid to the holders of such Notes as of the close of business on the applicable interest payment record date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.10, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control (and any related Change of Control Offer made by the Company shall be deemed to be immediately rescinded and terminated) if (1) the Holders of at least 50.1% of the total outstanding principal amount of the Notes (excluding Notes held by Continental Wind Holding or an Affiliate thereof) consent to such Change of Control prior to the applicable Change of Control Payment Date, (2) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 3.10 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (3) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless or until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

ARTICLE 5

NOTE GUARANTEE

Section 5.01

Note Guarantee.

Subject to the provisions of this Article 5, each Note Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally with each other Note Guarantor, to each Holder of the Notes and the Trustee and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations and liabilities of the Company under this Indenture (including without limitation interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company or any Note Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), and the other Note Documents (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Note Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Article 5 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

Each Note Guarantor waives notice of protest for nonpayment, notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Note Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations.

Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. In addition, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Note Guarantor under or in respect of its Note Guarantee are independent of the Note Guarantees or any other Guaranteed Obligations of any other Note Guarantors under or in respect of this Indenture or the other Note Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Note Guarantor to enforce its Note Guarantee, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Company or any other Note Guarantor or whether the Issuer or any other Note Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions.

Except as set forth in Section 9.02, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full or the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Note Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Note Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, any other Note Document or any other agreement; (d) the release or non-perfection of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee or the Collateral Agent for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Note Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Company or any Note Guarantor; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or (h) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Note Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Each Note Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Trustee or any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

Each Note Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Trustee in cash upon demand by the Trustee without set-off or counterclaim.

Each Note Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Note Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Trustee and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein,

notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby arising in connection with any Bankruptcy Event with respect to any Financing Entity or otherwise and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Note Guarantor for the purposes of this Note Guarantee.

Neither the Company nor the Note Guarantors shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Note Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof and any such notation shall not be a condition to the validity of any Note Guarantee.

Section 5.02

Limitation on Liability.

Any term or provision of this Indenture or the other Note Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Note Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees under the Credit Facilities) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Note Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Section 5.03

Right of Contribution.

Each Note Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Note Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Note Guarantees, such Note Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Company or any other Note Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 5.03 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Note Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Note Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Note Guarantor hereunder.

Section 5.04

No Subrogation.

Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Note Guarantor hereunder, no Note Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Company or any other Note Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Note Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Note Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Note Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Company on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Note Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Note Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Note Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Note Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Note Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Note Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations.

All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04

Waiver of Past Defaults.

Subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes and a Default with respect to a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected.

Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.10

Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01

Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02

Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Note Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture, including that the Note Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same, including the release of the Collateral) and the other Financing Documents as they apply for the benefit of the Holders, except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, Make-Whole Amounts, if any, or interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.07, 2.09 and 4.02 hereof;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03

Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Note Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.01, 4.03(a)(4)-(8), 4.03(b), 4.04 through 4.11, 4.13 and 4.15 through 4.48 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes, and the Note Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to the Note Guarantees, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to this Indenture and the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, none of the events or circumstances described in Section 6.01(a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (n), (o), (p) and (q) hereof will constitute Events of Default.

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any Note Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Note Guarantor is bound;

(6) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company, any Note Guarantor or others;

(7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

(8) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be (which instructions may be contained in the Officer’s Certificate).

Section 8.05

Deposited Money and Governmental Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Governmental Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or Note Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash and non-callable Governmental Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money and non-callable Governmental Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized

firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06

Repayment to Company.

Any money or Governmental Securities deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.07

Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Governmental Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture. the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the other Note Documents:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(3) to provide for the assumption by a successor entity of the Company’s or any Note Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees in the case of merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to the extent permitted pursuant to this Indenture;

100

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder;

(5) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in such “Description of the Notes” section was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents, which intent may be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to that effect;

(6) to enter into additional or supplemental Security Documents;

(7) to release Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents;

(8) to evidence the succession of a new Trustee hereunder; provided that the successor Trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture;

(9) to comply with the rules of any Depositary; or

(10) to update any schedules, annexes or appendices thereto in accordance with the terms of the relevant Note Document.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 9.05 and 12.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Note Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02

With Consent of Holders.

Except as provided above in Section 9.01 or below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.10 hereof), the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 shall determine which Notes are considered to be outstanding for the purposes of this Section 9.02.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the

101

Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 12.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Note Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (excluding any Notes held by Continental Wind Holding or an Affiliate thereof) may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company or any Note Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not:

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (except Section 3.10 hereof);

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes;

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof);

(8) modify the Note Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holder;

(9) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens created by the Security Documents, except as specifically provided in this Indenture and the Security Documents; and

(10) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions of this Indenture which require Holders’ consent or make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

102

Section 9.03

Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, prior to the proposed effective date of any amendment, supplement or waiver, any Holder or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of such revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.04

Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05

Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee will sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.02 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Each Financing Entity will take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Company hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected (or, in the case of Real Property, valid) first priority Lien in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens, in each case, other than Permitted Liens.

Each of the Holders hereby appoints the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Agent to be the agent for and representative of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders with respect to the Security Documents, and each of the Holders hereby authorizes and directs each of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Agent to execute, deliver and perform each of the Security Documents to which the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Depositary Agent, as the case may be, is or is intended to be a party, and each Holder agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Agent contained in the Security Documents.

In addition, upon the request of the Company pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate certifying that all conditions precedent hereunder have been met, and at the sole cost and expense of the Company, the Trustee will direct the Collateral Agent to release Collateral that is sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the provisions of this Indenture. Upon receipt of such Officer’s Certificate and direction, the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents.

(b) The Collateral Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral will no longer secure the Notes outstanding under this Indenture or any other Obligations under this Indenture, and the right of the Holders to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Collateral will automatically terminate and be unconditionally discharged:

105

Section 10.05

Authorization of Actions to Be Taken by the Trustee Under the Security Documents.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company, any Note Guarantor or the Trustee, by notice to the others, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waiver of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to a Holder, such notice shall be sufficiently given if provided to the Depositary (or its designee), according to the applicable procedures of such Depositary, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice. The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If any Financing Entity elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction received after such reliance and/or compliance. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) will be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if transmitted by facsimile; and the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery.

Any notice or communication to a Holder will be mailed by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by overnight courier guaranteeing next day delivery to its address shown on the register kept by the Registrar. Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it will not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

109

If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

If the Company mails a notice or communication to Holders, it will mail a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

Section 12.02

Upon any request or application by the Company or any Note Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, including in connection with any release of Collateral pursuant to Section 10.03, the Company or such Note Guarantor, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee:

(1) an Officer’s Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth in Section 12.03 hereof) stating that, in the opinion of the signer, all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied or, in the case of any release of Collateral, to the effect that such Collateral may be released in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents; and

(2) an Opinion of Counsel (which may be limited to reliance on an Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth in Section 12.03 hereof) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent and covenants have been satisfied or, in the case of any release of Collateral, to the effect that such Collateral may be released in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents.

The Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the applicable provisions of the Financing Documents the appropriate statements contained in such documents.

Section 12.03

Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion.

Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture and must include:

(1) a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;

(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(3) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been satisfied; and

(4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been satisfied or, in the case of any release of Collateral, to the effect that such Collateral may be released in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents.

6.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2033

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST. Continental Wind, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.000% per annum until but excluding maturity. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on [ ] of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of original issuance; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be [ ], 20[ ]. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at a rate that is 1.00% per annum higher than the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace periods), at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest, and will make payments of principal in accordance with Schedule 1 hereto, on the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the February 14 or 15, as applicable, or August 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date; provided, that if such day is not a Business Day then such payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, Make-Whole Amounts, if any, and interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wilmington Trust, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(4) INDENTURE AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 30, 2013 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Note Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company designated as its 6.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2033. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. Any term used in this Note that is defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company and the Note Guarantors. The Notes and the related guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis (subject to certain permitted liens and except for certain excluded assets) by (i) all of our existing

A1-6

and future equity interests in the Project Companies and all of Continental Wind Holding’s existing and future equity interests in the Company, (ii) the interests of the Project Companies in substantially all of the Project Sites (as defined herein), including the leasehold interests therein, and improvements and fixtures thereon and all related easements, rights-of-way, servitudes, licenses and similar property rights, and (iii) substantially all of the Company and the Note Guarantors’ assets, other than Continental Wind Holding, as described in the Security Documents referred to in the Indenture.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

(a) At any time prior to the Maturity Date the Company will have the right, at its option, to redeem any of the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to their maturity, on at least 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes being redeemed, plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes being redeemed up to, but not including, the redemption date, plus (3) the Make-Whole Amount (subject to the rights of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date)

(b) Unless the Company fails to deposit with the Trustee of the Paying Agent money sufficient to make such redemption payment, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

(6) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail (or in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, by electronic transmission), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes, a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture or a Change of Control pursuant to Articles 3, 8 or 11 thereof. Any redemption notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $100,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Collateral Assignment. Consenting Party hereby consents to the Collateral Assignment. Consenting Party further acknowledges the right of the Collateral Agent or any designee of the Collateral Agent, in exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies as a secured creditor of the Company and acting on behalf of the Secured Parties, to make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all rights of the Company under the Assigned Agreement. The Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Secured Parties) shall be entitled (but not obligated) to cure any defaults of the Company under the Assigned Agreement in accordance with the provisions thereof. Consenting Party agrees to accept such cure by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Secured Parties) and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Assigned Agreement and cure of such defaults, to render to the Secured Parties all performance due by it under the Assigned Agreement and this Consent.

2. Payments. The Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs that any payments from Consenting Party which are due and payable to the Company under the Assigned Agreement be made directly to depositary bank in accordance with the following payment instructions:

[ ]

or such other payment instructions as may be provided in writing to the Consenting Party from the Collateral Agent from time to time. The Company hereby agrees that Consenting Party may rely on any such instructions by the Collateral Agent to Consenting Party, and the Company releases Consenting Party from all liability for making payments to the Collateral Agent upon receipt by Consenting Party of any such instructions.

3. Cure of Default. Upon the occurrence of a breach, default or event of default by the Company under the Assigned Agreement, or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any other event or condition which would enable the Consenting Party to terminate or suspend its obligations under the Assigned Agreement (herein called a “default”), the Consenting Party will continue to perform and not terminate or suspend its obligations under the Assigned Agreement until it first (i) gives to the Collateral Agent the written notice required to be given to the Company by the Assigned Agreement specifying the nature of the default giving rise to such right (and in the case of a payment default, specifying the amount thereof), (ii) gives the Collateral Agent as well as the Company the opportunity to cure such default during the cure period specified in the Assigned

E-2

Agreement beginning upon receipt of notice of such default by the Collateral Agent (the “Assignment Agreement Cure Period”), and (iii) gives the Collateral Agent the opportunity to cure such default for an additional period of thirty (30) days after the Assignment Agreement Cure Period in the case of a payment default and thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Assignment Agreement Cure Period in the case of performance defaults which shall be extended to ninety (90) days if such default is not capable of being cured in such period and the Collateral Agent is diligently pursuing cure. If possession of the Project is necessary to cure any non-payment default and the Collateral Agent commences foreclosure proceedings against the Company within such 90-day period and is diligently pursuing such proceeding, or if the Collateral Agent is prohibited from curing any default or from commencing or prosecuting foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings by operation of law or by any process, stay or injunction issued by any governmental authority or pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or other similar proceeding involving the Company, then in each case the time periods specified herein for curing a default (other than a payment default) or commencing or prosecuting such foreclosure or other proceedings shall be extended for the period to complete such proceeding or of such prohibition.

4. Substitution. Upon receipt of notification from the Collateral Agent of any default by the Company under the Financing Documents and that the Collateral Agent desires to exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to the Security Documents (i) to have itself or its designee substituted for the Company under the Assigned Agreement or (ii) to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Assigned Agreement to any other person, including any assignee which is a purchaser at a foreclosure sale or by deed in lieu of foreclosure (an “Assignee”), then Consenting Party agrees that the Collateral Agent, any of the Secured Parties or their respective designee or any Assignee (each, a “Substitute Owner”) may be substituted for the Company under the Assigned Agreement and the Consenting Party shall continue to perform its obligations under the Assigned Agreement in favor of the Substitute Owner if such Substitute Owner assumes in writing the obligations of the Company under the Assigned Agreement (including the obligation to cure any then-existing payment and performance defaults but excluding the obligation to cure any then-existing performance defaults that are not reasonably susceptible of cure). Consenting Party acknowledges that none of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties are liable under the Assigned Agreement and shall not become liable thereunder unless and until such party shall become a Substitute Owner as described in this Section 4 hereof, and then, the Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties, their successors or designees, and any Assignee shall not have personal liability to the Consenting Party for the performance of the obligations under the Assigned Agreement and the sole recourse of the Consenting Party in seeking enforcement of such obligations shall be to such parties’ interest in the Project. Upon any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition to an Assignee, the Collateral Agent, its designees, and the Secured Parties shall be relieved of any and all obligations arising under the Assigned Agreement.

5. Rejection in Bankruptcy. If the Assigned Agreement is rejected or terminated by a trustee or debtor-in-possession in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving the Company, and if, within sixty (60) days after such rejection or termination, the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party or their respective designee or assignee shall so request, the Collateral Agent, such Secured Party or such designee or assignee and the Consenting Party will promptly execute a new agreement that shall be for the balance of the remaining term under the Assigned Agreement (before giving effect to such rejection or termination) and shall contain the same agreements, terms and conditions as the Assigned Agreement.

E-3

6. Termination; Material Amendment. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Assigned Agreement to the contrary, Consenting Party shall not, without prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, cancel or terminate the Assigned Agreement except as expressly provided in the Assigned Agreement (but subject to the rights to cure set forth in Section 3 above), or assign or consent to the Company’s assignment of the Assigned Agreement. Consenting Party shall not enter into any Modification (as defined below) of the Assigned Agreement as in effect on the date hereof unless the Company shall have provided the Consenting Party with a certificate certifying that the consent of the Collateral Agent has been obtained or is not required. A “Modification” for purposes of this Section 6 shall mean a material amendment to the Assigned Agreement the effect of which (x) is to materially expand the obligations of the Company or materially reduce the payment obligations of Consenting Party or (y) could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Project.

7. Delivery of Notices. The Consenting Party shall deliver to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, concurrently with the delivery thereof to the Company, a copy of each notice of default, violation or breach or of a suspension of performance given by the Consenting Party pursuant to the Assigned Agreement and each notice of a force majeure event. In addition, the Consenting Party shall provide notice to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Company of any material litigation, investigation or governmental proceeding or any dispute with a government entity which is pending or threatened in writing against the Consenting Party if such matter could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Project.

8. Representations and Warranties. The Consenting Party makes the following representations and warranties to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties:

8.1 Organizational Matters. The Consenting Party is a [corporation/limited partnership/limited liability company] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, and has all requisite power and authority, corporate and otherwise, to enter into and to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Assigned Agreement. Each of this Consent and the Assigned Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Consenting Party by the appropriate officers or agents of the Consenting Party, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Consenting Party, enforceable against the Consenting Party in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

8.2 Litigation. There is no litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to the knowledge of the Consenting Party) threatened against the Consenting Party before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental authority, body or agency which questions the validity, binding effect or enforceability hereof or of the Assigned Agreement or which, if adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect upon the ability of the Consenting Party to perform under the Assigned Agreement or this Consent.

8.3 Governmental Approvals; Compliance. No consent, order, authorization, waiver, approval or any other action, or registration, declaration or filing with, any government or public body, authority or agency is required to be obtained or made by the Consenting Party in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of the Assigned Agreement or this Consent,

E-4

except as has been validly issued, is in full force and effect, is not subject to any condition (other than compliance with the terms thereof), does not impose restrictions or requirements inconsistent with the terms of the Assigned Agreement, and is final and non-appealable. The Consenting Party has not violated applicable law by entering into the Assigned Agreement or this Consent. The execution, delivery and performance by the Consenting Party of this Consent and the Assigned Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any violation of, breach of or default under any term of its charter or by-laws, or of any material contract or agreement to which it is a party or by which it or its property is bound.

8.4 No Default or Amendment. Neither the Consenting Party nor, to the knowledge of the Consenting Party, the Company is in default of any of its obligations or covenants under the Assigned Agreement and no such default has occurred and has been cured prior to the date hereof. No event or condition exists (including any condition arising as a result of, and after giving effect to, the assignment by the Consenting Party to the Collateral Agent of the Assigned Agreement) which would, either immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace period or giving of notice, or both, enable the Consenting Party to terminate or suspend its obligations under the Assigned Agreement. The Assigned Agreement has not been amended, modified or supplemented in any manner [except as described in the recitals hereto]. The Consenting Party has no notice of, and has not consented to, any previous assignment by the Company of all or any part of its rights in, to or under the Assigned Agreement.

9. No Liability. Except during any period in which the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party (or any of their respective designees or assignees) is substituted for the Company pursuant to Section 4 (and subject to the limitations therein), the Consenting Party acknowledges and agrees that neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party (or any of their respective designees or assignees) shall have any liability or obligation under the Assigned Agreement as a result of this Consent or any Security Documents, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party (or any of their respective designees or assignees) be obligated or required to perform any of the Company’s obligations under the Assigned Agreement or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned under any Security Documents. No curing of any defaults under the Assigned Agreement shall be construed as an assumption by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party (or any of their respective designees or assignees) of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Company under the Assigned Agreement.

10. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed received (i) at the close of business of the date of receipt, if delivered by hand or by facsimile, or (ii) when signed for by recipient, if sent registered or certified mail, postage prepaid or by a nationally recognized courier service charges prepaid, provided such notice was properly addressed to the appropriate address indicated on the signature page hereof or to such other address as a party may designate by prior written notice to the other parties.

11. Refinancing. In the event that the Loans and/or the Notes are refinanced or replaced in whole or in part by other credit facilities, this Consent and Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Company and the provider of such new credit facilities (the “New Secured Party”) provided that (i) within five (5) days following delivery by the Company to the Consenting Party of the notice that the original Loans and/or the Notes have been satisfied in full, the New Secured Party or an agent, trustee or other representative of the New Secured Party, shall have notified the Consenting Party that it assumes the rights and the prospective obligations of the Indenture Trustee or the Collateral Agent under this Consent, and shall have supplied substitute notice address

E-5

information and new payment instructions pursuant to Section 2, (ii) the amount of the new credit facilities does not exceed the original amount of commitments by the Holders or the Lenders and (iii) thereafter, (1) the term “Notes” and/or “Loans” under this Consent will be deemed to refer to the new credit facilities, (2) the term “Indenture Trustee,” “Holders,” “Collateral Agent,” “Administrative Agent” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to refer to the New Secured Party or any agent or trustee for the New Secured Party, (3) the term “Indenture” or “Credit Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the credit agreement, indenture or other instrument providing for the new credit facilities and (4) the term “Security Documents” shall be deemed to refer to the security agreement under which the Assigned Agreement is assigned as collateral to secure performance of the obligations of the Company under the new credit facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, in the event that the Loans are refinanced or replaced as contemplated herein, the Consenting Party shall continue to be entitled to any and all rights and remedies set forth in the Assigned Agreement subject to the terms and limitations set forth herein.

12. Governing Law. THIS CONSENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF [ ].¹¹

13. No Waiver. Neither this Consent nor any of the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each party hereto. No term, covenant or condition hereof shall be deemed waived and no breach excused unless such waiver or excuse shall be in writing and signed by the party claimed to have so waived or excused. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Consent shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Consent, which shall remain in full force and effect.

14. Successors and Assigns. This Consent shall be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of the Company, the Consenting Party and the Collateral Agent and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Company, the Consenting Party and the Collateral Agent, to the benefit of the Company, the Consenting Party, the Collateral Agent, and to the Secured Parties as third party beneficiaries and their respective permitted successors, designees, transferees and assigns.

15. Waiver of Trial by Jury. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE CONSENTING PARTY, THE BORROWER AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CONSENT.

Unless otherwise expressly provided, the respective obligations of each party hereunder are absolute and unconditional, and no party has, or shall have, a right to terminate this Consent or to be released, relieved or discharged from any obligation hereunder until all secured obligations of the Issuer pursuant to the Financing Documents have been satisfied in full.

EXHIBIT F

SUBORDINATION TERMS

Definitions and Rules of Interpretation. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. The rules of construction set forth in the Credit Agreement shall apply to this document as if fully set forth herein. In addition, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Subordinated Lenders” shall mean each and every lender to whom any of the Subordinated Indebtedness are owed and any holder of any document evidencing such Subordinated Indebtedness.

“Subordinated Indebtedness” shall mean any unsecured indebtedness of any Company Entities permitted to be provided by any other Company Entity pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement.

Ranking of Obligations.

Until the final maturity date of the Secured Obligations, (i) the Subordinated Lenders and the Borrower hereby agree that all Subordinated Indebtedness are and shall be subordinated in right of payment and liquidation in relation to all Secured Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, (ii) except as provided in Section 2.2 hereof, no payments or other distributions whatsoever in respect of any part of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made nor shall any property or assets of the Borrower be applied to the purchase or other acquisition or retirement of any part of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and (iii) each of the Subordinated Lenders agrees that it will not ask, demand, sue for, take or receive from or for the account of the Borrower (whether directly or indirectly), by set-off or in any other manner, the Subordinated Indebtedness, or any security therefor, except with the prior written consent of the Required Secured Parties, until all the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibily paid in full in cash.

Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1 above, but without limitation to the rights of the Secured Parties under the terms of the Financing Documents, on or following the Closing Date and until the final maturity date of the Secured Obligations, the Borrower may make repayments of principal of, other prepayments of principal of, and payments of interest on, and other amounts owing in respect of, the Subordinated Indebtedness solely out of and to the extent of any funds permitted to be paid out of the Distribution Suspense Account in accordance with the provisions of the Depositary Agreement.

Payments of the Subordinated Indebtedness not payable by reason of Section 2.2 above shall be deferred until the date on which such payment may be made in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that, in the event that the payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness is so deferred or the conditions to payment have not been satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof, such delay in payment shall not constitute a default in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

No Payment in Certain Circumstances. Until the final maturity date of the Secured Obligations, and without limitation to the rights of the Secured Parties under the terms of the Financing Documents:

upon any distribution or application of the assets of the Borrower in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or other proceeding for the winding up of the Borrower (whether partial or complete) or any proceeding for insolvency or bankruptcy (whether voluntary or involuntary) or any receivership, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors or arrangement with creditors, whether or not pursuant to the insolvency, bankruptcy or similar laws of any jurisdiction, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any other marshaling of assets and liabilities of the Borrower:

1.1.1

the Secured Obligations shall first be irrevocably and indefeasibly paid in full to the Secured Parties before any of the Subordinated Lenders shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness or any other interests in the Borrower arising from the Subordinated Indebtedness whether in cash, securities or other assets; and

F-1

1.1.2

any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness to which any of the Subordinated Lenders would be entitled if the Subordinated Indebtedness were not subordinated pursuant to the terms hereof shall be made by the trustee, liquidator or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, directly to the Secured Parties until the Secured Obligations are irrevocably and indefeasibly paid in full and each of the Subordinated Lenders irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Collateral Agent, acting for and on behalf of the Secured Parties, to receive and collect on its behalf any and all such payments or distributions, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to any holder of Secured Obligations;

without limitation to the foregoing, in the event any of the Distribution Conditions are not satisfied, then no payment of principal, interest or other amounts owing shall be made by the Borrower on or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and each Subordinated Lender agrees that it will not ask, demand, sue for, take or receive from or for the account of the Borrower (whether directly or indirectly), by set-off or in any other manner, or retain payment (in whole or in part) of, the Subordinated Indebtedness, or any security therefor, until payments are permitted to be made out of the Distribution Suspense Account in accordance with the provisions of the Depositary Agreement;

if, for any reason whatsoever and whether pursuant to a bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding or otherwise, the Borrower shall make or any of the Subordinated Lenders shall receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, on account or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness in contravention of any of the terms set forth herein, such Subordinated Lender shall hold any such payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, promptly notify the Collateral Agent of the receipt of such payment or distribution and promptly pay over or deliver such distribution or payment to the Collateral Agent or to any other Person nominated by the Collateral Agent, to hold for the account of the Secured Parties. In the event of failure of any Subordinated Lender to make any such endorsement or assignment, the Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized by the Subordinated Lenders to make the same; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to restrict any rights of the Secured Parties to enforce in any manner provided under applicable Law the obligation of a Subordinated Lender to make any such endorsement or assignment; and

notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, no payment or delivery shall be made to the Subordinated Lenders of securities or other obligations which are issued upon any merger, consolidation, sale, lease, transfer or other disposal by any Person succeeding to the Borrower or acquiring the Borrower’s property and assets, unless such securities or obligations are pledged in favor of the Secured Parties and subordinate and junior at least to the extent provided herein to the irrevocable and indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations and to the payment of any stock or obligations which are issued in exchange or substitution for any such obligations.

Authorizations to Collateral Agent. Until the final maturity date of the Secured Obligations, and without limitation to the rights of the Secured Parties under the terms of the Financing Documents, each Subordinated Lender (i) irrevocably authorizes and empowers (without imposing any obligation on) the Collateral Agent to claim, enforce, demand, sue for, collect and receive all payments and distributions on or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness which are required to be paid or delivered to any Secured Party, as provided herein, and to file and prove all claims therefor, give receipts and take all such other action, in the name of such Subordinated Lender or otherwise, necessary or appropriate for the enforcement of these subordination provisions, (ii) irrevocably authorizes and empowers (without imposing any obligation on) the Collateral Agent to vote the Subordinated Indebtedness in favor of or in opposition to any matter which may come before any meeting of creditors of the Borrower generally or in connection with, or in anticipation of, any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any proceeding under any laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, arrangements, reorganizations, compositions or extensions relative to the Borrower, and (iii) agrees to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent all such further instruments reasonably required confirming the above authorization, and all such powers of attorney, proofs of claim, assignments of claim and other instruments, and to take all such other action, as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested by any Secured Party in order to enable the Collateral Agent (following the written instructions of the Required Secured Parties or all of the Secured Parties, as the case may be) to enforce all claims upon or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

Non-Impairment. None of the Secured Obligations shall be impaired by the Secured Parties:

agreeing with the Borrower, any Subordinated Lender or any other Person as to any amendment, variation, assignment, novation, extension or departure (however substantial or material) of, to or from any Financing Document (including changing the manner, place or terms of payment of or extending the time of payment of, or renewing or altering, the Secured Obligations, or otherwise amending or supplementing in any manner the Secured Obligations or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which the Secured Obligations are outstanding, or any Financing Document) so that any such amendment, variation, assignment, novation or departure shall, whatever its nature, be binding upon the Subordinated Lenders in all circumstances;

releasing, granting any time, any indulgence or any waiver of any kind to, or composition with, the Borrower, any Subordinated Lender or any other Person (including, without limitation, the waiver of any preconditions for drawing under, or of any breach of, the Financing Documents or the exercise or the failure to exercise any rights against the Borrower and any other Person), or entering into any transaction or arrangements whatsoever with or in relation to the Borrower, any Subordinated Lender and/or any other Person;

taking, accepting, varying, dealing with, exchanging, renewing, enforcing, failing to enforce, take up or perfect, abstaining from enforcing, surrendering or releasing any security, right of recourse, set-off or combination or other right, remedy or interest held by the Secured Parties in connection with the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, or acting in relation to the Financing Documents in such manner as it thinks fit;

failing to present or observe any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

claiming, proving for, accepting or transferring any payment in respect of the Secured Obligations in any composition by, or winding up of, the Borrower, any Subordinated Lender and/or any other Person or abstaining from so claiming, proving for, accepting or transferring; or

actually or purportedly assigning all or any portion of the Secured Obligations to any other Person.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no change of law or circumstances shall release or diminish any of the Subordinated Lender’s obligations, liabilities, agreements or duties hereunder, affect the provisions set forth herein in any way, or afford the Subordinated Lenders any recourse against any of the Secured Parties.

Benefit of Subordination Provisions. These subordination provisions are intended solely to define the relative rights of the Secured Parties, the Subordinated Lenders, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Subordination of Liens. Without limitation of any other provisions of this Exhibit, the Borrower shall not create or suffer to exist any Lien on any of its Property benefiting the Subordinated Indebtedness. If in contravention of this Section 7, any such Liens shall now or hereafter secure or benefit the Subordinated Indebtedness, whether arising by statute, in law or equity or by contract, then, without limiting any of the Secured Parties’ rights in respect of such breach, such Lien shall and is hereby expressly subordinated and made secondary and inferior to the Liens now or hereafter securing or benefiting the Secured Obligations.

Reinstatement. If any payment to any of the Secured Parties by the Borrower or any other Person in respect of any of the Secured Obligations is held to constitute a preference or a voidable transfer under applicable Law, or if for any other reason any Secured Party is required to refund such payment to the Borrower or to such Person or to pay the amount thereof to any other Person, such payment to such Secured Party shall not constitute a release of any of the Subordinated Lenders from any of its liability hereunder, and each Subordinated Lender agrees and acknowledges that the provisions set forth herein shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, to the extent of any such payment or payments.

Restrictions on Transfers. None of the Subordinated Lenders may transfer (by sale, novation or otherwise) any of its rights or obligations under the Subordinated Indebtedness unless the transferee of such interest first agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Exhibit applicable to the transferor of such interest and executes an instrument to that effect.

Agreements of Subordinated Lenders. Each of the Subordinated Lenders shall:

until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of each amendment or modification to any agreement relating to the Subordinated Indebtedness agreed to which such Subordinated Lender is a party;

until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, cause to be clearly inserted in any instrument which at any time evidences any part of the Subordinated Indebtedness owing to such Subordinated Lender a statement to the effect that the payment thereof is subordinated in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit; and

at its own cost, file all documents or instruments necessary or advisable and do all things as any Secured Party may reasonably request in order to carry out more effectively the intent and purpose of these subordination provisions.

Waiver of Subrogation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, until the final maturity date of the Secured Obligations each of the Subordinated Lenders irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower that arise from the existence or performance of its Secured Obligations hereunder including any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Secured Parties against the Borrower, or any security which the Secured Parties may now have or hereafter acquire, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including the right to take or receive from the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.

For the purposes of such waiver of subrogation, any payments or distributions to the Secured Parties of any cash, property or securities to which the Subordinated Lenders would be entitled except for these provisions shall, as between the [Borrower][Company] and the Subordinated Lenders and their respective other creditors, be deemed to be a payment by the Borrower to or on account of the Secured Obligations.

Exercise of Powers.

The Secured Parties shall be entitled to exercise their rights and powers under these subordination provisions in such a manner and at such times as the Secured Parties in their absolute discretion may determine. None of the Secured Parties shall be liable for any losses arising in connection with the exercise of or failure to exercise any of its rights, powers and discretions hereunder.

The Subordinated Lenders alone shall be responsible for their contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, defaults and losses and for liabilities incurred by them.
