WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Company is the owner of the PV Systems listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto;

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Maintenance Services Agreement dated as of June 26, 2015 (the “Services Agreement”) by and between the Company and SolarCity, as maintenance services provider (in such capacity, “Provider”), Company has engaged SolarCity to provide certain operations and maintenance services with respect to the PV Systems, including the sale of RECs generated by such PV Systems (the “SREC Services”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the performance of such SREC Services, pursuant to the Services Agreement, Company conveyed and transferred its right, title and interest in and to the RECs generated by its PV Systems, including, without limitation, the Assigned Rights, to SolarCity to the extent necessary to permit SolarCity to perform the SREC Services and use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the RECs on behalf of the Company;

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Limited Termination Agreement dated as of September 30, 2016 (the “Limited Termination Agreement”) by and between the Company and Provider, SolarCity has relinquished all right, title and interest in and to that certain portion of the RECs to be generated by the PV Systems, as specified on Schedule 1 attached hereo, and all such right, title and interest in and to such RECs have reverted to the Company;

WHEREAS, Company desires to absolutely and irrevocably assign, convey and transfer collectively the entire interest in the Assigned Rights to the Assignee.

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOW, THEREFORE, for value received, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency thereof being hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.Irrevocable Assignment.

(a)The Company, hereby absolutely and irrevocably sells, conveys, transfers, assigns and delivers unto the Assignee, without recourse to the Company, any and all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Rights.  The Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and accepts the Assigned Rights and assumes, to the extent accruing from and after the Effective Date, any and all duties, obligations, responsibilities, claims, demands and other commitments with respect to or otherwise in connection with the Assigned Rights.

(b)It is the intention of the Parties that the Assigned Rights transferred by the Company to the Assignee pursuant to this Agreement shall not be part of the Company’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Company under any bankruptcy or similar law.  On and after the Effective Date hereunder, the Assignee shall own the Assigned Rights transferred by the Assignor to the Assignee, and the Assignor shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall not claim any ownership interest in the Assigned Rights.

(c)This sub-paragraph shall be of no force and effect with respect to an assignment of an Assigned Right unless there has been a final determination in a bankruptcy proceeding where the Assignor is the debtor, that an assignment referred to in this paragraph is not an absolute assignment of the Assigned Right, and all appeal periods (after such final determination) have lapsed without appeal.  In the event that the transfer of the Assigned Rights by the Assignor to the Assignee pursuant to this Agreement is deemed to be a secured financing (or is otherwise determined not to be an absolute assignment of all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under or transfer of all of Assignor’s equitable interest in, to and under the Assigned Rights transferred, or purportedly transferred hereunder), then (i) the Assignor shall be deemed hereunder to have granted to the Assignee, and the Assignor does hereby grant to the Assignee, a security interest in all of the Assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Assigned Rights, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.  For the avoidance of doubt: (i) in the event that a court determines that the transfer of the Assigned Rights is not an absolute assignment of the Assigned Rights or a “true sale” and such a determination is appealed, the Assignee shall be deemed to have the benefit of the security interest grant during the pendency of such appeals and (ii) if the appeals court holds, on a final, non-appealable basis that the Assigned Rights is an absolute assignment or a “true sale” then such security grant shall be deemed to have never been granted and shall have no force and effect.

(c)The Assigned Rights to be conveyed to the Assignee hereunder are, immediately prior to their conveyance hereunder owned by the Company, collectively, free and clear of any adverse claim or restrictions on transferability and the Company has the full right, organizational power and lawful authority to convey its respective portion of the same and interests therein and, upon conveyance thereof hereunder, the Assignee will have acquired good and marketable title to and a valid ownership interest in such Assigned Rights, free and clear of any adverse claim or restrictions on transferability.  No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of any Assigned Rights conveyed hereunder is on file in any filing office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Assignee as “Secured Party” or “Assignee”.

(d)Other than as previously provided for in the Services Agreement (as supplemented by the Limited Termination Agreement), the Assigned Rights are not subject to any prior sale, transfer, assignment or participation or any agreement with respect to the same.

(e)No consent, approval, order or authorization of, and no filing with or notice to, any party is required which has not been obtained in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery or performance by it of this Agreement or under the transactions contemplated hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer of the Assigned Rights to Assignee.
