Section 2.05. Subrogation. Obligor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in respect of any amounts paid by Obligor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that Obligor hereby waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. If any amount shall be paid to Obligor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the payment, discharge or performance in full of the Secured Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (if applicable) and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited and applied upon and against the Secured Obligations, to the extent then matured, in accordance with the terms of the relevant Financing Documents or, to the extent not then matured or existing, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral security for such Secured Obligations.

The exercise by the Collateral Agent of any right, remedy, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement shall not release Obligor from any of its duties and obligations under those contracts and agreements. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty, obligation or liability under those contracts and agreements or in respect to any Governmental Approval included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, nor shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the duties or obligations of Obligor under any such contract or agreement or any such Governmental Approval or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim (for payment) under any such contract or agreement or Governmental Approval.

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (ORNI 2) 20  ARTICLE V REMEDIES Section 5.01. Events of Default, Etc. Without limiting the rights, powers and privileges of the Collateral Agent under Article II, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (a) The Collateral Agent in its discretion may require Obligor to, and Obligor shall, assemble the Collateral owned by it at such place or places, reasonably convenient to both the Collateral Agent and Obligor, designated in the Collateral Agent's request; (b) The Collateral Agent in its discretion may make any reasonable compromise or settlement it deems desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, all or any part of the Collateral; (c) The Collateral Agent in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of Obligor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for all or any part of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so; (d) The Collateral Agent in its discretion may, upon ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice to Obligor of the time and place, with respect to all or any part of the Collateral which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Collateral Agent or any of its agents, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as the Collateral Agent deems best, for cash, for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk) and at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of time or place of any such sale (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Collateral Agent or any other Person may be the purchaser, lessee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of Obligor, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned; (e) The Collateral Agent shall have, and in its discretion may exercise, all of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights, remedies, powers and privileges are asserted) and such additional rights, remedies, powers and privileges to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (ORNI 2) 21  rights, remedies, powers and privileges in respect of this Agreement or the Collateral may be asserted, including the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner of the Collateral (and Obligor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right); (f) The Collateral Agent in its discretion may, to the full extent provided by law, have a court having jurisdiction appoint a receiver, which receiver shall take charge and possession of and protect, preserve, replace and repair the Collateral or any part thereof, and manage and operate the same, and receive and collect all rents, income, receipts, royalties, revenues, issues and profits therefrom. Obligor irrevocably consents and shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably consented to the appointment thereof, and upon such appointment, Obligor shall immediately deliver possession of such Collateral to the receiver. Obligor also irrevocably consents to the entry of an order authorizing such receiver to invest upon interest any funds held or received by the receiver in connection with such receivership. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to such appointment as a matter of right, if it shall so elect, without the giving of notice to any other party and without regard to the adequacy of the security of the Collateral; and (g) The Collateral Agent in its discretion may enforce one or more remedies hereunder, successively or concurrently, and such action shall not operate to estop or prevent the Collateral Agent from pursuing any other or further remedy which it may have hereunder or by law, and any repossession or retaking or sale of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof shall not operate to release Obligor until full and final payment of any deficiency has been made. Obligor shall reimburse the Collateral Agent upon demand for, or the Collateral Agent may apply any proceeds of Collateral to, the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, transfer taxes and any other charges) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with any sale, disposition, repair, replacement, alteration, addition, improvement or retention of any Collateral hereunder. The proceeds of, and other realization upon, the Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under this Section 5.01 shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04. Section 5.02. Deficiency.

Section 5.03. Private Sale. (a) The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale, lease or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral at any private sale pursuant to Section 5.01 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Obligor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree. PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (ORNI 2) 22  (b) Obligor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale. Obligor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the respective issuer of such Collateral to register it for public sale. Section 5.04. Application of Proceeds. The Proceeds of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under Section 5.01, and any other cash at the time held by the Collateral Agent under this Article V, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Collateral Agency Agreement.

The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Collateral Agent would otherwise have. Section 6.06. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
