ARTICLE TWO
OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES

2.1Rights to Develop Subsequent Phases.
(a)In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Emerald Breeze Holdings acknowledges and agrees to the right of any Subsequent Phase Owner to Implement any Subsequent Phase. Each Party and each Subsequent Phase Owner which is a party hereto agrees that it will not Implement any Subsequent Phase, except in compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1. Without limiting the foregoing, NextEra agrees that it will not permit any of its Affiliates to Implement any Subsequent Phase unless such Affiliate complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1 or enters into a build-out agreement with respect to such Subsequent Phase (an “Affiliate Build-Out Agreement”) in substantially the form of, or becomes a party to, this Agreement. In addition, NextEra further agrees that prior to it or any of its Affiliates selling or otherwise transferring any direct or indirect interest in an Affiliate of NextEra that has Subsequent Phase Rights to any non-Affiliate, it shall cause such Affiliate holding such Subsequent Phase Rights to become a party to this Agreement or to enter into a build-out agreement with respect to such Subsequent Phase Rights in substantially the form of this Agreement (a “Transferred Affiliate Build-Out Agreement”) unless the Affiliate holding such Subsequent Phase Rights continues to be controlled or managed directly or indirectly by NextEra. For the avoidance of doubt, any such Affiliate Build-Out Agreement or Transferred Affiliate Build-Out Agreement shall not apply to Subsequent Phase Rights acquired by a former Affiliate of NextEra (which is not an Affiliate at the time of such acquisition); rather, such acquisition by a former Affiliate of NextEra will instead be treated as an acquisition by an ordinary non-Affiliate of NextEra for purposes of this Agreement.
(b)Prior to beginning the Implementation of any Subsequent Phase, the Subsequent Phase Owner will, at its own expense, prepare and present to the applicable Project Owner a detailed development procedure (including the proposed design and construction timetable for the Subsequent Phase), and if appropriate, a new or modified metering protocol (the “Phase Design”) and determine on a preliminary basis (i) solely with respect to a Solar Project, the Shading and Soiling Effect (unless such Subsequent Phase does not result in any Shading and Soiling Effect on such Solar Project), (ii) solely with respect to a Wind Project, the Wind Interference Effect (unless such Subsequent Phase does not result in any Wind Interference Effect), (iii) the O&M Interference Effect, and (iv) the Transmission Access Effect. The applicable Project Owner and the Subsequent Phase Owner will calculate (1) solely with respect to a Solar Project, the Shading and Soiling Effect (unless such Subsequent Phase does not result in any Shading and Soiling Effect on such Solar Project), (2) solely with respect to a Wind Project, the Wind Interference Effect (unless such Subsequent Phase does not result in any Wind Interference Effect), (3) the O&M Interference Effect, and (4) the Transmission Access Effect; provided, however, that the applicable Project Owner and the Subsequent Phase Owner shall have no obligation to perform such calculation with respect to the Wind Interference Effect if the Subsequent Phase does not contain any Proximate Turbines of the applicable Project.
-8-


(c)Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Subsequent Phase Owner, NextEra will run the Portfolio Project Model for the applicable Project, in each case, changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the Subsequent Phase Effect as calculated on a preliminary basis.
(d)If the applicable Portfolio Project Model is modified for the Subsequent Phase Effect, as reasonably determined by the Subsequent Phase Owner on a preliminary basis, results in Build-Out Payment greater than zero, then NextEra will determine the relevant Cash Adjustment, assuming that the Subsequent Phase is built in accordance with the Phase Design. If the Portfolio Project Model as modified on a preliminary basis for the Subsequent Phase Effect is equal to zero, no further action is required under this Section 2.1(d).
(e)As a condition to Implementation of the Subsequent Phase, but only if the estimated Cash Adjustment is in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000), the Subsequent Phase Owner will provide one or more guarantees by NextEra for the Cash Adjustment, or in lieu thereof, a letter of credit or other security in form and substance, and issued by a party, reasonably satisfactory to Emerald Breeze Holdings.
(f)Within ninety (90) days following the commencement of operation of a Subsequent Phase (or any portion thereof which could reasonably be expected to affect any Project) on a commercial basis, the Subsequent Phase Owner and the applicable Project Owner will cause (1) the Independent Engineer to provide a report analyzing and determining (A) the Shading and Soiling Effect (solely with respect to a Solar Project), (B) the Wind Interference Effect, and (C) the O&M Interference Effect, (2) the Independent Transmission Consultant to provide a report analyzing and determining (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in analyzing and determining) on a final basis the Transmission Access Effect, and (3) the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination)) to calculate the Subsequent Phase Effect and provide a report reflecting the final design and construction timetable (including changes in the projected construction schedule and operations date), and if appropriate, a new or modified metering protocol (each such report in subsections (1) through (3), a “Report” and collectively, the “Reports”); provided that if the Independent Engineer determines that the Subsequent Phase does not result in any O&M Interference Effect, Shading and Soiling Effect (solely with respect to a Solar Project), or Wind Interference Effect (solely with respect to a Wind Project), then the Subsequent Phase Effect shall be equal to the Transmission Access Effect, if any. The Reports shall be subject to review and comment as provided in Section 2.1(g) below.
(g)Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination)) under Section 2.1(f), NextEra will re-run the Portfolio Project Model for the applicable Project, in each case, changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the final Subsequent Phase Effect.
-9-


(h)If the final determination of the Subsequent Phase Effect as reasonably determined by the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination)) and the Wind Interference Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the Independent Wind Consultant (and to the extent the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Wind Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination) is negative as to Emerald Breeze Holdings, NextEra will determine the Cash Adjustment, if any, and the Subsequent Phase Owner will, within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such determination (as obtained in Section 2.1(g) above), pay any such Cash Adjustment to Emerald Breeze Holdings. If the applicable Portfolio Project Model, as modified on a final basis for the final Subsequent Phase Effect, results in a Cash Adjustment equal to zero, then no further action is required under this Section 2.1(h).
(i)Upon payment of a Cash Adjustment to Emerald Breeze Holdings by NextEra, the Portfolio Project Model will be revised to reflect, with respect to the applicable Project, (A) the final Subsequent Phase Effect and (B) the final Cash Adjustment, and, as so revised, will be the Portfolio Project Model used for purposes of this Section 2.1 in respect of the next Subsequent Phase, if any.
(j)If Emerald Breeze Holdings disputes the calculation of a Cash Adjustment, the Subsequent Phase Owner and the Parties shall meet and work together in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Subsequent Phase Owner and the Parties disputing the calculation cannot resolve such disagreement within twenty (20) days, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall pay the portion of any Cash Adjustment that is not in dispute, and the Subsequent Phase Owner and Emerald Breeze Holdings shall each appoint an independent expert to resolve such dispute. Thereafter, if such independent experts cannot agree within twenty (20) days of receiving all appropriate information, they shall jointly appoint a third independent expert whose decision shall be binding on the Subsequent Phase Owner and each of the Parties, and, failing agreement on such third independent expert within ten (10) days, such third independent expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce upon the written request of the Subsequent Phase Owner or any Party. To the extent it is determined that any Cash Adjustment was not calculated correctly, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall make a supplemental Cash Adjustment (with interest at the prevailing rate) as necessary. The cost of the independent experts shall be the responsibility of the Subsequent Phase Owner unless Emerald Breeze Holdings or its Affiliates shall have acted in bad faith, in which case Emerald Breeze Holdings shall be obligated to pay such costs.
(k)NextEra will not and will not permit any Affiliate of NextEra to, and each Party agrees it will not, sell or transfer any Subsequent Phase Rights to another Subsequent Party, unless it simultaneously assigns and delegates to such Subsequent Party, and such Subsequent Party shall assume, the rights and obligations of the Subsequent Phase Owner under this Agreement to the extent relating to such Subsequent Phase or enters into a build-out agreement in respect of such Subsequent Phase in substantially the form of this Agreement; provided that, in connection with any assignment of any Subsequent Phase Rights relating to a Subsequent Phase which is being Implemented and for which a guaranty by NextEra, letter of credit or other security is outstanding, such guaranty, letter of credit or other security shall either remain in full force and effect or be replaced with another guaranty, letter of credit or other security in form and substance, and issued by a party which is, reasonably satisfactory to Emerald Breeze Holdings.
2.2Shared Facilities Agreement.
The Parties acknowledge that, as currently contemplated, the Implementation of one or more of the Subsequent Phases may require access to and use of the facilities (a) owned or leased by a Project Owner or (b) to which a Project Owner holds an easement, right-of-way or other interest, including a Project substation and the real property upon which such Project substation is located. To the extent that such facilities will accommodate Subsequent Phases on an ongoing operational basis (and excluding any temporary shared access for less than six (6) months that is addressed pursuant to any Transmission Access Effect and the adjustments therefor made pursuant to the terms hereof), prior to the commencement of construction in connection with such Subsequent Phase that will require access to and
-10-


use of such facilities for purposes of its operations, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall become a party to a shared facilities agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Each Project Owner agrees, upon the request of the Subsequent Phase Owner in respect of the Implementation of any Subsequent Phase, to execute and deliver a shared facilities agreement in a form to be agreed to by the Subsequent Phase Owner and the applicable Project Owner; provided that such agreement shall be on terms no less favorable to the Project Owner than generally available in an arm’s-length transaction and shall not result in a material adverse effect on any Project or Emerald Breeze Holdings (the “Shared Facilities Agreement”). At the request of the Subsequent Phase Owner, the applicable Project Owner will consider, in good faith and in its reasonable discretion, granting access to and use of (to the extent such Project Owner has the right to grant such access and use of) the operations and maintenance building used by its Project (the “O&M Building”) and the O&M Building site with respect to a Subsequent Phase but only where such access and use do not interfere with, and are not otherwise incompatible with, the use of such facilities and property by the applicable Project or any other previously constructed Subsequent Phase that has been granted access to and use of the O&M Building and O&M Building site. Each Party agrees that (i) to the extent that a Subsequent Phase shares, has been granted access to or uses the Transmission Facilities of a Project, the Shared Facilities Agreement (or a standalone metering agreement) will address shared metering protocols as needed to properly allocate line and/or load losses and charging and/or discharging (subject to the approval of the relevant offtaker, if applicable) between the Project, the applicable Subsequent Phase and any other electric generation or energy storage facilities sharing, accessing or using such Transmission Facilities of the applicable Project and (ii) the Shared Facilities Agreement will provide for the right and obligation of any Subsequent Phase to share, pro rata with the total installed capacity of the applicable Project and the Subsequent Phase at such time (taking into account such Subsequent Phase), in the benefits, costs and liabilities of certain Shared Facilities (to be defined in the Shared Facilities Agreement) of the applicable Project; provided that the Subsequent Phase shall not be obligated to pay a pro rata share of the capital costs of such existing Shared Facilities and no Project shall be obligated to pay a pro rata share of the capital costs of such new Shared Facilities constructed by the Subsequent Phase; provided, further, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if any such sharing causes an increase in the costs (including capital costs and operation and maintenance costs) and/or liabilities of any Project, such Subsequent Phase will be solely responsible for such incremental increase (it being understood that any such incremental increase in costs shall be without duplication of any costs already incorporated into any Transmission Access Effect already taken into account as part of the determination of the Subsequent Phase Effect pursuant to Section 2.1). Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall prohibit (1) the placement of wind generating facilities or energy storage facilities on land described in the Project Easements and (2) the entry into or execution of any co-tenancy agreement or sub-easement or assignment of Project Easements in connection with such placement, so long as each of the following is satisfied: (A) the Subsequent Party Implementing such wind generating facility or energy storage facility assumes the rights and obligations of the Subsequent Phase Owner under this Agreement with respect to such facility or enters into a build out agreement in respect of such facility in substantially the form of this Agreement and (B) such placement and operation of the wind generating facility or energy storage facility is not otherwise incompatible with, the use of such land and Project Easements by the Project.

ARTICLE TWO
OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES

2.1Rights to Develop Subsequent Phases.
(a)In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, NEP Renewables IV acknowledges and agrees to the right of any Subsequent Phase Owner to Implement any Subsequent Phase. Each Party and each Subsequent Phase Owner which is a party hereto agrees that it will not Implement any Subsequent Phase, except in compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1. Without limiting the foregoing, NextEra agrees that it will not permit any of its Affiliates to Implement any Subsequent Phase unless such Affiliate complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1 or enters into a build-out agreement with respect to such Subsequent Phase (an “Affiliate Build-Out Agreement”) in substantially the form of, or becomes a party to, this Agreement. In addition, NextEra further agrees that prior to it or any of its Affiliates selling or otherwise transferring any direct or indirect interest in an Affiliate of NextEra that has Subsequent Phase Rights to any non-Affiliate, it shall cause such Affiliate holding such Subsequent Phase Rights to become a party to this Agreement or to enter into a build-out agreement with respect to such Subsequent Phase Rights in substantially the form of this Agreement (a “Transferred Affiliate Build-Out Agreement”) unless the Affiliate holding such Subsequent Phase Rights continues to be controlled or managed directly or indirectly by NextEra. For the avoidance of doubt, any such Affiliate Build-Out Agreement or Transferred Affiliate Build-Out Agreement shall not apply to Subsequent Phase Rights acquired by a former Affiliate of NextEra (which is not an Affiliate at the time of such acquisition); rather, such acquisition by a former Affiliate of NextEra will instead be treated as an acquisition by an ordinary non-Affiliate of NextEra for purposes of this Agreement.
(b)Prior to beginning the Implementation of any Subsequent Phase, the Subsequent Phase Owner will, at its own expense, prepare and present to the applicable Project Owner a detailed development procedure (including the proposed design and construction timetable for the Subsequent Phase), and if appropriate, a new or modified metering protocol (the “Phase Design”) and determine on a preliminary basis (i) the Wind Interference Effect (unless such Subsequent Phase does not result in any Wind Interference Effect), (ii) the O&M Interference Effect, and (iii) the Transmission Access Effect. The applicable Project Owner and the Subsequent Phase Owner will calculate (1) the Wind Interference Effect (unless such Subsequent Phase does not result in any Wind Interference Effect), (2) the O&M Interference Effect, and (3) the Transmission Access Effect; provided, however, that the applicable Project Owner and the Subsequent Phase Owner shall have no obligation to perform such calculation with respect to the Wind Interference Effect if the Subsequent Phase does not contain any Proximate Turbines of the applicable Project.
-9-



(c)Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Subsequent Phase Owner, NextEra will run the Portfolio Project Model for the applicable Project, in each case changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the Subsequent Phase Effect as calculated on a preliminary basis.
(d)If the applicable Portfolio Project Model is modified for the Subsequent Phase Effect, as reasonably determined by the Subsequent Phase Owner on a preliminary basis, results in Build-Out Payment greater than zero, then NextEra will determine the relevant Cash Adjustment, assuming that the Subsequent Phase is built in accordance with the Phase Design. If the Portfolio Project Model as modified on a preliminary basis for the Subsequent Phase Effect is equal to zero, no further action is required under this Section 2.1(d).
(e)As a condition to Implementation of the Subsequent Phase, but only if the estimated Cash Adjustment is in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000), the Subsequent Phase Owner will provide one or more guarantees by NextEra for the Cash Adjustment, or in lieu thereof, a letter of credit or other security in form and substance, and issued by a party, reasonably satisfactory to NEP Renewables IV.
(f)Within ninety (90) days following the commencement of operation of a Subsequent Phase (or any portion thereof which could reasonably be expected to affect any Project) on a commercial basis, the Subsequent Phase Owner and the applicable Project Owner will cause (1) the Independent Engineer to provide a report analyzing and determining (A) the Wind Interference Effect and (B) the O&M Interference Effect, (2) the Independent Transmission Consultant to provide a report analyzing and determining (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in analyzing and determining) on a final basis the Transmission Access Effect, and (3) the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination)) to calculate the Subsequent Phase Effect and provide a report reflecting the final design and construction timetable (including changes in the projected construction schedule and operations date), and if appropriate, a new or modified metering protocol (each such report in subsections (1) through (3), a “Report” and , collectively, the “Reports”); provided that if the Independent Engineer determines that the Subsequent Phase does not result in any O&M Interference Effect or Wind Interference Effect, then the Subsequent Phase Effect shall be equal to the Transmission Access Effect, if any. The Reports shall be subject to review and comment as provided in Section 2.1(g) below.
(g)Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination)) under Section 2.1(f), NextEra will re-run the Portfolio Project Model for the applicable Project, in each case changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the final Subsequent Phase Effect.
(h)If the final determination of the Subsequent Phase Effect as reasonably determined by the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination)) and the Wind Interference Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the Independent Wind Consultant (and to the extent the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Wind Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination) is negative as to NEP Renewables IV, NextEra will determine the Cash Adjustment, if any, and the Subsequent Phase Owner
-10-



will, within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such determination (as obtained in Section 2.1(g) above), pay any such Cash Adjustment, as applicable, due to NEP Renewables IV. If the applicable Portfolio Project Model, as modified on a final basis for the final Subsequent Phase Effect, results in a Cash Adjustment equal to zero, then no further action is required under this Section 2.1(h).
(i)Upon payment of a Cash Adjustment to NEP Renewables IV by NextEra, the Portfolio Project Model will be revised to reflect, with respect to the applicable Project, (A) the final Subsequent Phase Effect and (B) the final Cash Adjustment and, as so revised, will be the Portfolio Project Model used for purposes of this Section 2.1 in respect of the next Subsequent Phase, if any.
(j)If NEP Renewables IV disputes the calculation of a Cash Adjustment, the Subsequent Phase Owner and the Parties shall meet and work together in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Subsequent Phase Owner and the Parties disputing the calculation cannot resolve such disagreement within twenty (20) days, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall pay the portion of any Cash Adjustment that is not in dispute, and the Subsequent Phase Owner and NEP Renewables IV shall each appoint an independent expert to resolve such dispute. Thereafter, if such independent experts cannot agree within twenty (20) days of receiving all appropriate information, they shall jointly appoint a third independent expert whose decision shall be binding on the Subsequent Phase Owner and each of the Parties, and failing agreement on such third independent expert within ten (10) days such third independent expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce upon the written request of the Subsequent Phase Owner or any Party. To the extent it is determined that any Cash Adjustment was not calculated correctly, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall make a supplemental Cash Adjustment (with interest at the prevailing rate) as necessary. The cost of the independent experts shall be the responsibility of the Subsequent Phase Owner unless NEP Renewables IV or its Affiliates shall have acted in bad faith, in which case NEP Renewables IV shall be obligated to pay such costs.
(k)NextEra will not and will not permit any Affiliate of NextEra to, and each Party agrees it will not, sell or transfer any Subsequent Phase Rights to another Subsequent Party, unless it simultaneously assigns and delegates to such Subsequent Party, and such Subsequent Party shall assume, the rights and obligations of the Subsequent Phase Owner under this Agreement to the extent relating to such Subsequent Phase or enters into a build-out agreement in respect of such Subsequent Phase in substantially the form of this Agreement; provided that, in connection with any assignment of any Subsequent Phase Rights relating to a Subsequent Phase which is being Implemented and for which a guaranty by NextEra, letter of credit or other security is outstanding, such guaranty, letter of credit or other security shall either remain in full force and effect or be replaced with another guaranty, letter of credit or other security in form and substance, and issued by a party which is, reasonably satisfactory to NEP Renewables IV.
2.2Shared Facilities Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that, as currently contemplated, the Implementation of one or more of the Subsequent Phases may require access to and use of the facilities (a) owned or leased by a Project Owner or (b) to which a Project Owner holds an easement, right-of-way or other interest, including a Project substation and the real property upon which such Project substation is located. To the extent that such facilities will accommodate Subsequent Phases on an ongoing operational basis (and excluding any temporary shared access for less than six (6) months that is addressed pursuant to any Transmission Access Effect and the adjustments therefor made pursuant to the terms hereof), prior to the commencement of construction in connection with such Subsequent Phase that will require access to and use of such facilities for purposes of its operations, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall become a party to a shared facilities agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Each Project Owner agrees, upon the request of the Subsequent Phase Owner in respect of the Implementation of any Subsequent Phase, to execute and deliver a shared facilities agreement in a form to be agreed to by the Subsequent Phase Owner and the applicable Project Owner; provided that such agreement shall be on terms no less favorable to the Project Owner than generally available in an arm’s-length transaction and shall not result in a material adverse effect on any Project or NEP Renewables IV
-11-



(the “Shared Facilities Agreement”). At the request of the Subsequent Phase Owner, the applicable Project Owner will consider, in good faith and in its reasonable discretion, granting access to and use of (to the extent such Project Owner has the right to grant such access and use of) the operations and maintenance building used by its Project (the “O&M Building”) and the O&M Building site with respect to a Subsequent Phase but only where such access and use do not interfere with, and are not otherwise incompatible with, the use of such facilities and property by the applicable Project or any other previously constructed Subsequent Phase that has been granted access to and use of the O&M Building and O&M Building site. Each Party agrees that (i) to the extent that a Subsequent Phase shares, has been granted access to or uses the Transmission Facilities of a Project, the Shared Facilities Agreement (or a standalone metering agreement) will address shared metering protocols as needed to properly allocate line and/or load losses and charging and/or discharging (subject to the approval of the relevant offtaker, if applicable) between the Project, the applicable Subsequent Phase and any other electric generation or energy storage facilities sharing, accessing or using such Transmission Facilities of the applicable Project and (ii) the Shared Facilities Agreement will provide for the right and obligation of any Subsequent Phase to share, pro rata with the total installed capacity of the applicable Project and the Subsequent Phase at such time (taking into account such Subsequent Phase), in the benefits, costs and liabilities of certain Shared Facilities (to be defined in the Shared Facilities Agreement) of the applicable Project; provided that the Subsequent Phase shall not be obligated to pay a pro rata share of the capital costs of such existing Shared Facilities and no Project shall be obligated to pay a pro rata share of the capital costs of such new Shared Facilities constructed by the Subsequent Phase; provided, further, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if any such sharing causes an increase in the costs (including capital costs and operation and maintenance costs) and/or liabilities of any Project, such Subsequent Phase will be solely responsible for such incremental increase (it being understood that any such incremental increase in costs shall be without duplication of any costs already incorporated into any Transmission Access Effect already taken into account as part of the determination of the Subsequent Phase Effect pursuant to Section 2.1). Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall prohibit (1) the placement of wind generating facilities or energy storage facilities on land described in the Project Easements and (2) the entry into or execution of any co-tenancy agreement or sub-easement or assignment of Project Easements in connection with such placement, so long as each of the following is satisfied: (A) the Subsequent Party Implementing such wind generating facility or energy storage facility assumes the rights and obligations of the Subsequent Phase Owner under this Agreement with respect to such facility or enters into a build out agreement in respect of such facility in substantially the form of this Agreement and (B) such placement and operation of the wind generating facility or energy storage facility is not otherwise incompatible with, the use of such land and Project Easements by the Project.

3.2No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and this Agreement will not otherwise be deemed to confer upon or give to any other third party any right, claim, cause of action, or other interest in this Agreement.
3.3Amendment and Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any term of this Agreement may be changed, amended or terminated orally, but only by written act of all of the Parties and subject to the terms of the LLC Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of a Party in the exercise of any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other of further exercise thereof or of any other right.

3.4Binding Nature; Assignment; Consent to Assignment. This Agreement and all the terms, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained shall run with the Project Land Rights and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and a memorandum hereof shall be recorded in the appropriate local record, to the extent reasonably requested by any Project Owner or any of its respective members. Except as permitted by and in accordance with Section 2.1(k), no Party will assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment contrary to the terms of this Agreement will be null and void and of no force and effect; provided, however, that (i) each of the Parties will be entitled, without in any way being released from its obligations under this Agreement, to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate thereof, and (ii) NEP Renewables IV or a Subsequent Phase Owner that becomes party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(k) hereof may assign its rights under this Agreement to any lender as collateral for its obligations in connection with any financing documents providing financing for a Project or a Subsequent Phase. Upon request of NEP Renewables IV or such a Subsequent Phase Owner, any Party will execute a consent to said assignment to any such lender on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions.
3.5Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof that may require the application of the Law of another jurisdiction.
3.6Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be an original, but all of which, when taken together, will constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile or electronic mail signatures (in .pdf format) will be accepted as original signatures for purposes of this Agreement.

3.8Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement (provided the substance of the agreement between the Parties is not thereby materially altered), and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the Parties waive any provision of law that renders any provision of this Agreement prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

Each Party hereto agrees to provide such information and to take such other actions as may be necessary or reasonably requested by another Party hereto, which are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and which do not involve assumptions of obligations other than those provided for in this Agreement, in order to give full effect to this Agreement and to carry out the intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to amend this Agreement as reasonably requested by any lender or equity investor providing construction or term financing in connection with a Subsequent Phase; provided that any such amendment does not have a material adverse effect on any Project Owner or NEP Renewables IV.
