1.    The Notes.
(a)    Issuance of Notes. Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Investors, and each of the Investors severally agrees to purchase, one or more Notes up to the principal amount of such Investor’s Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to each such purchase and sale of Notes, (i) the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balances of all Notes issued under this Agreement would not exceed the Borrowing Base, and (ii) the aggregate Original Principal Amounts of all Notes issued to an Investor would not exceed the Commitment of such Investor set forth on Schedule I hereto. The obligations of the Investors to purchase Notes are several and not joint. The aggregate principal amount for all Notes issued hereunder shall not exceed $100,000,000 unless the Commitments are increased pursuant to Section 1(g). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1(a), the Commitment of any Investor to purchase Notes hereunder shall in no case apply to any financing source that provides an Investor Financing and becomes a holder of any Note in connection with an Investor Financing Foreclosure.
(b)    Delivery. The initial sale and purchase of the Notes (the “Initial Notes”) shall take place at a closing (the “Initial Closing”) to be held at such place and time as the Company and the Investors may determine (the “Initial Closing Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the Company’s request as set forth in Section 1(f), the Investors shall purchase additional Notes (the “Subsequent Notes”) issued by the Company at


one of more subsequent closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”) to be held at such place and time as the Company and the Investors participating in such Subsequent Closing may determine (each, a “Subsequent Closing Date”). At each such Closing, the Company will deliver to each Investor participating in each such Closing the Note to be purchased by such Investor, against receipt by the Company of the corresponding purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) less the Draw Fee (such delivery of a Note and receipt of the Purchase Price less the Draw Fee, a “Funding Event”). The Company shall register each Note in such Investor’s name in the Register as set forth in each Note. All of the transactions set forth herein to be taken at each such Closing, including the delivery of documents, shall be deemed to take place simultaneously at each such Closing. In addition to the issuance of Subsequent Notes pursuant to this Section 1(b).
(c)    Borrowing Base Deficiency. If, on the last day of any month (as shown in the Borrowing Base Report delivered pursuant to Section 7(a)(viii)), the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balances of Notes issued hereunder exceeds the Borrowing Base, the Company shall, in accordance with Section 6(b) of the Note, promptly offer to redeem on a pro rata basis a portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each outstanding Note in cash in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (the “Borrowing Base Deficiency”) and shall redeem any such portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each outstanding Note to the extent required in Section 6(b) of the Note.
(d)    Project Debt Facility. If AssetCo or any Permitted Project Subsidiary incurs any additional Indebtedness for borrowed money under a Project Debt Facility, the Company shall, in accordance with Section 6(c) of the Note, promptly offer to redeem on a pro rata basis a portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each outstanding Note in cash in an aggregate amount equal to such net proceeds received by AssetCo or any Permitted Project Subsidiary from such incurrence and shall redeem any such portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each outstanding Note to the extent required in Section 6(c) of the Note.
(e)    Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(f)    Procedures for Funding Events. Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the sale and purchase of a Note set forth in this Agreement, to request a Funding Event, the Company (via a Responsible Officer) shall notify the Investors (which notice shall be irrevocable) by electronic mail at least ten Business Days prior to the applicable Closing Date. Such notice (a “Funding Notice”) shall (i) specify the amount to be funded by each Investor (which shall be such Investor’s pro rata portion of the aggregate amount to be funded, but not in excess of such Investor’s individual Commitment), (ii) include evidence of the satisfaction of each condition set forth in Section 4 with respect to the Initial Closing and Section 5 with respect to Subsequent Closings, (iii) any documents, including a counterpart signature page of the Note, to be executed by such Investor (which shall be returned to the Company prior to the Closing Date), and (vi) be executed by a Responsible Officer. The Investors participating in such Closing shall credit proceeds of any Note to the account designated by the Company for such purpose.
(g)    Increase in Commitments. By execution of a supplement to this Agreement (a “Commitment Increase Supplement”) in form and substance acceptable to each
-2-


Investor party thereto, each Investor and the Company may (but shall not be required to) agree to an increase in such Investor’s Commitment under this Agreement provided that, after giving effect to such increase, the aggregate Commitments of all Investors shall not exceed $150,000,000.

9.    Guaranty.
(a)    Guaranty of the Obligations. The Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guaranty the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided that the Guaranteed Obligations of the Company in its capacity as a Guarantor shall exclude any Direct Company Obligations.
(b)    Payment by Guarantors. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Company or any other Guarantor to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, ratably to the Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for the Company’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Company for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to the Beneficiaries as aforesaid.
(c)    Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:
(i)    this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability and this Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;
(ii)    the Credit Party may enforce this Guaranty during the continuation of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;
(iii)    the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Company and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Company, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the
-36-


Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person and whether or not the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person is joined in any such action or actions;
(iv)    payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Beneficiaries are awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(v)    any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate under the relevant Transaction Document, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any other Credit Party or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Transaction Documents; and
(vi)    this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made)), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Transaction Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Transaction Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Transaction Document or any agreement relating to
-37-


such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Transaction Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not consented to by any Beneficiary; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which the Company or any other Person may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) 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 Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor in respect of its Guaranty shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Agreement subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to the Company with respect to its Direct Company Obligations.
(d)    Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (1) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (3) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person, or (4) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, (iii) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto, and (iv) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 9(c) and any right to consent to any thereof; and (f) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or
-38-


which may conflict with the terms hereof, in each case other than the indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(e)    Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Company or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including, (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Company with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against the Company, and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against the Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against the Company, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Beneficiaries to be credited and applied ratably against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.
(f)    Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Beneficiaries to be ratably credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.
(g)    Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) shall have been paid in full (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Beneficiaries and their successors, transferees and assigns. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.
(h)    Authority of Guarantors or the Company.  It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or the Company or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.
-39-


(i)    Financial Condition of the Company.  Any Note may be sold by the Company, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Company or any other Credit Party at the time of any such grant or continuation, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Company or any other Credit Party. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Company and the other Credit Parties on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Company and the other Credit Parties and their respective ability to perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Company and each other Credit Party and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Company or any other Credit Party now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.
(j)    Bankruptcy, Etc.
(i)    So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Required Investors, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against the Company or any other Credit Party. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Company or any other Credit Party or by any defense which the Company or any other Credit Party may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.
(ii)    Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and the Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Company or any other Credit Party of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Investors in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.
In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Company, Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder
10.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    Waivers and Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement and the Notes may be amended, waived or modified only upon the written consent of the Company and

the Required Investors; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall without each affected Investor’s written consent: (i) reduce the principal amount of or change the Maturity Date of any Note, (ii) reduce the rate of or change the stated time for payment of principal or interest of any Note, (iii) extend or increase any Commitment of any Investor without the written consent of such investor, (iv) reserved, (v) make any Note payable in a currency other than that stated in such Note, (vi) change the ranking of any Note in any manner adverse to the rights of the affected Investor, (vii) modify in a manner adverse to the rights of any Investor the provisions related to the redemption of any Note, (viii) impair the right of any Investor to receive payment on, or with respect to, any Note or impair the right to initiate suit for the enforcement of any delivery or payment on, or with respect to, any Note, (ix) modify any Transaction Document in a manner that disproportionately adversely affects any Investor; provided, that treating all Investors in the same manner shall be deemed not to disproportionately adversely affect any Investor, (x) waive any condition set forth in Sections 4 or 5 or (xi) waive compliance with or modify this Section 10(a) in a manner adverse to any Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company and the Collateral Agent may amend or supplement any Transaction Document without the consent of any Investor to (1) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency which is not material, (2) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by any of the Collateral Documents, (3) to revise any schedule to reflect any change in notice information, (4) to revise the name of the Collateral Agent on any UCC financing statement or other Collateral Document as may be necessary to reflect the replacement of the Collateral Agent; provided that the Collateral Agent shall receive and may conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate of the Company stating that the execution of such amendment, modification or supplement is authorized and permitted by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and that all conditions precedent to the execution thereof have been complied with.
(b)    Governing Law. This Agreement and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of New York or of any other state.

-41-


as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(ii)    Each Credit Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 10(e)(i) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.
(iii)    Each Credit Party consents to process being served by or on behalf of any Investor in any suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof by registered, certified, priority or express mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery confirmation requested, to it at its address specified in Section 10(i) or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Credit Party agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.
(iv)    Nothing in this Section 10(e) shall affect the right of any Investor to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the Investors may have to bring proceedings against any Credit Party in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.
(v)    EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.

The Company will pay the fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent as set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement.
(k)    Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Investor shall have a right to access to any trade secrets of the Company. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that such Investor will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose any business, technical, financial or other information or materials (whether written, oral or in any other form) provided to such Investor (whether by the Company or its advisors or other representatives) in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, together with all analyses, compilations, interpretations, notes, studies or other documents prepared by such Investor or its Permitted Disclosees (as defined below) which contain or otherwise reflect such information or materials or such Investor’s review of, or interest in, the Company or any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), unless such Confidential Information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10(k) by such Investor), (b) is required to be disclosed by law or a governmental authority; provided, however, that an Investor may disclose Confidential Information to officers, directors, members, Affiliates or limited partners or their respective general partners, employees and legal, tax and accounting advisors of such Investor who have a need to know such information for the purpose of monitoring and evaluating such Investor’s investment in the Company (and/or advising such Investor in connection with such purpose) and who have expressly agreed to treat such Confidential Information confidentially in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Permitted Disclosees”), (c) is disclosed to any Qualified Transferee (as defined in the Notes) to which any Investor sells or offers to sell a Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt
-43-


of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 10(k)) or (d) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is disclosed to any Person to the extent that any Secured Party may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under any Transaction Document, provided that such Secured Party uses reasonable efforts to ensure that the recipient of such information maintains the confidentiality of such Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, such Investor shall not be permitted to disclose, divulge or use any Confidential Information to any Person if such Person, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Company’s Board of Directors, carries on any business that is substantially similar to the Company’s business. Even where any disclosure, divulgence or use of any Confidential Information is permitted pursuant hereto, each Investor agrees that it will not export or re-export any Confidential Information except in compliance with all United States and other export control laws and regulations. Each Investor further agrees to protect and maintain, and to cause each Permitted Disclosee to protect and maintain, the confidentiality and security of, and to exercise the highest standard of care as it exercises to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use of its own proprietary information, which shall be no less than reasonable care, with respect to, the Confidential Information. Each Investor shall be liable for any disclosure or unauthorized use by the Permitted Disclosees or other representatives of such Investor in contravention of this Section 10(k), and shall take reasonably appropriate steps to safeguard the Confidential Information from disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Each Investor further agrees to notify the Company in writing of any actual or suspected misuse, misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information, which may come to its attention. In the event that an Investor or any of its Permitted Disclosees receives a request or is required by a governmental authority to disclose all or any Confidential Information, such Investor or its Permitted Disclosees, as the case may be, agree to (A) immediately notify the Company of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request, (B) consult with the Company on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request and (C) assist the Company in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, such Investor or its Permitted Disclosees, as the case may be, may disclose to any governmental authority only that portion of the Confidential Information which such Investor is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed, and such Investor shall exercise its best efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. Nothing in this Section 10(k) shall in any way limit or otherwise modify any confidentiality covenants entered into by any Investor pursuant to any other agreement entered into with the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company acknowledges and agrees that each Investor may disclose such information in respect of the Company and the Investor’s interest therein as is required under applicable securities laws, rules or regulations or rules of a national securities exchange. The Company consents in advance to such disclosure and any such disclosure shall not constitute a breach of this Section 10(k).
(l)    Separability of Agreements; Severability of this Agreement. The Company’s agreement with each of the Investors is a separate agreement and the sale of the Notes to each of the Investors is a separate sale. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the rights of each Investor hereunder are several rights, not rights jointly held with any of the other Investors. Any invalidity, illegality or limitation on the enforceability of the Agreement or any part thereof, by any Investor whether arising by reason of the law of the respective Investor’s domicile or otherwise, shall in no way affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement with respect to other Investors. If any provision of this Agreement shall be judicially determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
(m)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute
-44-


one and the same agreement. Facsimile copies of signed signature pages will be deemed binding originals.
(n)    Collateral Agent.
(i)    Each Investor hereby appoints and authorizes U.S. Bank National Association as Collateral Agent hereunder and in respect of the Collateral Documents, with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Agency Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such other powers are as reasonably incidental thereto.
(ii)    Each Investor hereby instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Agency Agreement and the other Collateral Documents on the Closing Date.
(iii)    The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities as set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Pledge and Security Agreement, as if the provisions setting forth those rights, protections, immunities and indemnities are fully set forth herein.
(o)    Intercreditor Agreement. Each Investor hereby (a) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Investor (and to make all representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements on behalf of such Investor as set forth therein). Each Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (x) the foregoing instructed actions constitute an instruction from all the Investors under this clause (o) and (y) all rights, privileges, protections, exculpations, immunities and indemnities in favor of the Collateral Agent hereunder apply to any and all actions taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with such instruction. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of such Intercreditor Agreement shall control.
(p)    Release of Guarantors and Collateral. A Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Transaction Documents upon the request of the Company, in connection with a transaction permitted under this Agreement, as a result of which such Guarantor ceases to be a wholly owned Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Investors shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise.
(i)    Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, all obligations under the Transaction Documents shall be automatically released.
(ii)    Upon a Project Subsidiary becoming party to any Project Debt Facility permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to which such Project Subsidiary is prohibited from being a Guarantor hereunder, the Guarantee of such Project Subsidiary shall automatically be released.
(iii)    In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 10(n), the Investors and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s expense, all documents provided to it that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release so long as the Company or the applicable Guarantor shall have provided such certifications or documents in order to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement.
-45-


(iv)    The Collateral Agent shall, at the Company’s request and at the Company’s expense, release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Transaction Document (A) upon satisfaction of any conditions to release specified in any Collateral Document, (B) that is disposed of or to be disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Transaction Document to any Person other than a Credit Party, (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Investor or all Investors, as applicable, as provided under this Agreement, (D) owned by a Guarantor upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, or (E) as expressly provided in the Collateral Documents; provided that the Collateral Agent shall receive and may conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate of the Company stating that such release is authorized and permitted by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and that all conditions precedent to such release have been complied with.
(v)    In the event that (i) all the Equity Interests in any Guarantor are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a Person other than the Company or its Subsidiaries in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, (ii) a Guarantor ceases to be a Domestic Subsidiary or (iii) a Guarantor would become an Excluded Subsidiary upon the consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder, the Investors shall, at the Company’s expense, promptly take such action and execute such documents as the Company may reasonably request to terminate the Guaranty of such Guarantor.
(q)    Investor Financing Amendments. If any Investor proposes to enter into a financing arrangement with one or more institutional lenders secured by the Notes owned by such Investor (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be non-recourse to the Company and its Subsidiaries) (any such financing arrangement, an “Investor Financing”) and the institutional lenders reasonably request any amendments, waivers or modifications to the Transaction Documents which are not materially adverse to the Company to accommodate such institutional lender’s operational needs and facilitate the Investor Financing, then Company hereby agrees to, and agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at the sole expense of such Investor (including reimbursement for the reasonable legal fees and other expenses of the Company and its Subsidiaries incurred in connection with such amendment, waiver or modification) enter into any such amendments, waivers or modifications of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to accomplish such changes which are not materially adverse to the Company.
(r)    Collateral Agent as Third Party Beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement and the Notes and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary hereunder and thereunder, including an independent right of action to enforce any provisions in this Agreement or the Notes directly against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Investors. This provision and any rights, benefits and privileges of the Collateral Agent in this Agreement or the Notes shall not be modified or amended without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent.
