(b) Any transaction entered into by the Partnership with the General Partners, the Management Committee or an Affiliate of a General Partner shall be on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those which could be obtained from non-Affiliates through arm’s-length negotiations; the Operational Management Agreement and Administrative Management Agreement shall be presumed conclusively to comply with this Section 3.02(b).

(i) adjust distributions made by the Partnership; and

(ii) adjust the voting rights of the Partners.

(d) If the Project loses its QF status, the General Partners shall take all commercially reasonable steps to attempt to regain the Project’s QF status within a reasonable time. If the Project does not regain its QF status within a reasonable period of time, the General Partners shall consider other economically feasible alternatives, or if they fail to agree on the choice among one or more alternatives, either General Partner may give notice to the other General Partner that a Dispute exists and, if notice is given, the provisions of Article XV shall apply to such Dispute.

SECTION 3.03. Other Business of Partners.

In no event shall more than 50% of the Interests in the Partnership be owned by “electric utilities”, “electric utility holding companies” or affiliates or subsidiaries of such entities, as those terms are used under the FERC Regulations regarding QF status (hereinafter the “FERC Ownership Criteria”).

SECTION 5.02. Initial Capital Contributions.

(a) Upon the Term Loan Date, the Partners shall each contribute to the capital of the Partnership the amounts of cash equal to the respective percentage of the Equity Commitment set forth opposite each Partner’s name in Exhibit A attached hereto.

(b) The initial capital contribution of the Partners made pursuant to Section 5.02(a) shall be allocated to each Partner in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto.

SECTION 5.03. Additional Capital Contributions. (a) No Partner shall be required or allowed to make any additional capital contributions to the Partnership unless prior written consent has been obtained from the General Partners.

(b) Any property contributed to the Partnership as an additional capital contribution pursuant to Section 5.03(a) hereof shall be credited to the contributing Partner at its Gross Asset Value as of the date of contribution (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Partnership is considered to assume under Section 752 of the Code). Any services contributed by a Partner as an additional capital contribution pursuant to Section 5.03(a) hereof shall be credited to the contributing Partner at a value agreed to by the General Partners. No such capital contribution may be so credited without the prior agreement as to value as hereby required.

SECTION 5.04. Capital Accounts. A separate Capital Account shall be maintained for each Partner which shall be increased by:

(d) any Partnership income or gain specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.06 or Section 6.07 hereof.

A Partner’s Capital Account shall be decreased by:

(a) all amounts of money distributed to such Partner by the Partnership (exclusive of a guaranteed payment within the meaning of

Section 707(c) of the Code paid to such Partner and a repayment of a loan by a Partner) and deemed distributions upon a deemed dissolution of the Partnership as provided in Section 708 of the Code;

(b) the Partner’s allocable share of the Partnership’s Net Loss and other expenditures not deductible in computing the Partnership taxable income and not properly chargeable to the Capital Account;

(c) the Gross Asset Value of any property distributed to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement (net of liabilities such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code); and

(d) any amounts of Partnership loss or deduction which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 6.06 or Section 6.07 hereof.

In the event that the Gross Asset Value of the Partnership assets are adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted simultaneously to reflect the aggregate net adjustment as if the Partnership recognized gain or loss equal to the amount of such aggregate net adjustment and such gain or loss was allocated to the Partners pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the Capital Account of a Partner for purposes of this Agreement, the Capital Account of the Partner shall be determined after giving effect to the allocation to such Partner for the Partnership’s then current Fiscal Year to date of determination of Net Income and Net Loss under Article VI and all distributions made to such Partner during such Fiscal Year under Article VII. In addition, any other adjustments to Capital Accounts required by the Code shall be made when appropriate.

The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Section 1.704-l(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. In the event the Management Committee shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Partnership or its Partners), are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Management Committee, subject to the restrictions of Section 3.02 hereof, may make such modification. The Management Committee also shall (i) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of Partnership capital reflected on the Partnership’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with

Section 1.704-l(b) (2) (iv) (g) of the Treasury Regulations, and (ii) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events (for example, the acquisition by the Partnership of oil or gas properties) might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Section-1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations.

SECTION 5.05. No Interest on Capital Contributions; Restrictions on Withdrawals of Capital and Distributions.

(a) No Partner shall be paid interest on any capital contribution made by it to the Partnership or on its outstanding Capital Account balance.

(a) Any transferee of a Partnership Interest shall succeed to the Capital Account relating to the Partnership Interest transferred.

(b) Any transferee, including, without limitation, any substitute Partner, to which shall be transferred all or part of the Interest of another Partner, shall have a Capital Account which reflects such transfer.

This Section shall not be construed to authorize a Transfer of a Partnership Interest that is not permitted under other provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 3.02 and 5.01 hereof.

SECTION 5.07. Loans by Partners. Any Partner may lend funds to the Partnership in such amounts and upon such terms as the Management Committee shall deem necessary for the business of the Partnership; provided, however, that the terms thereof shall be no less favorable to the Partnership than those that could be obtained from non-Affiliates through arm’s-length negotiations. Such loans shall not be deemed contributions to capital.

SECTION 5.08. Contracts with Partners or their Affiliates. The Management Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into contracts on behalf of the Partnership for goods or services with any Partner or any of its Affiliates. Any such contracts shall be at terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those that could be obtained from non-Affiliates through arm’s-length negotiations. Payments made pursuant to any such contract, or in respect of any loan pursuant to Section 5.07, shall not be deemed distributions to any Partner, and the Operational Management Agreement and Administrative Management Agreement shall be presumed conclusively to comply with this Section 5.08.

SECTION 5.09. Tax Matters Partner.

(a) For purposes of Section 6231(a) (7) of the Code, PAS, or its successors or assigns, is designated as the “Tax Matters Partner.” The Partnership shall reimburse PAS for expenses incurred in performing its duties as Tax Matters Partner, which reimbursement shall be for actual out-of-pocket expenses and actual labor costs.

(b) The Tax Matters Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to: (i) give each other Partner notice of the commencement of any administrative proceedings at the Partnership level pursuant to Section 6223 of the Code and of any final administrative adjustment resulting from any such proceeding within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice thereof from the Internal Revenue Service; (ii) give each other Partner notice of each action or other matter described in Sections 301.6223(g)-1T(b) (1) (i), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Treasury Regulations, at least twenty (20) days prior to such action or other matter; (iii) give each other Partner notice of each action or other matter described in Sections 301.6223(g)-1T(b) (1) (ii), (iv) or (ix) of the Treasury Regulations, of any request from the “Internal Revenue Service for a waiver by the Tax Matters Partner of restrictions on tax assessments, and of the receipt by the Tax Matters Partner of any request by a Partner pursuant to clause (vi) below, within ten (10) days after the receipt of notice of the occurrence thereof or such judicial redetermination; (iv) give each Partner notice of the intent of the Tax Matters Partner to sign a settlement agreement pursuant to Section 301.6224(c)-1T of the Treasury Regulations at least sixty (60) days before the Tax Matters Partner signs such agreement, which notice shall advise the Partners of the last day on which they may exercise their option to be excluded from such agreement (if they choose to do so); (v) give each Partner notice of the filing of any petition for readjustment, or of the decision of the Tax Matters Partner not to file such a petition (including the first and last days of the period during which the Partner receiving such notice may file such a petition), pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code, at least thirty (30) days before such filing, or at least sixty (60) days before the end of such period, as the case may be; and (vi) file a request with the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Section 6227 of the Code, or a petition in court pursuant to Section 6228 of the Code, for an adjustment with respect to Partnership items within forty-five (45) days after receipt from any Partner of a request that the Tax Matters Partner so file or petition, unless the Tax Matters Partner has obtained an opinion of counsel experienced in Federal income tax matters relating to partnerships to the effect that such filing or petition is not supported by the circumstances or is contrary to the best interest of the Partnership or a majority in interest of the Partners. The Tax Matters Partner shall not take any action set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the preceding sentence (and no other Partner shall make any filing pursuant to the last sentence of this Section) if any other Partner objects to the taking of such action, unless the Tax Matters Partner

(or the Partner making such filing, as the case may be) has consulted with the objecting Partner, and thereafter (but prior to the taking of such action), either all objecting Partners have withdrawn their objections, or the Tax Matters Partner (or the Partner making such filing, as the case may be) has obtained an opinion of counsel experienced in Federal income tax matters relating to partnerships to the effect that such action is in the best interest of the Partnership or a majority in interest of the Partners. Each Partner shall have the right to participate in any administrative proceeding at the Partnership level, as set forth in Section 6224 of the Code. Each Partner that files a request for an administrative adjustment pursuant to Section 6227 shall give each other Partner notice thereof at least twenty (20) days prior to such filing.

ARTICLE VI

ALLOCATIONS

SECTION 6.01. General Allocation Rules.

(a) The calculation of Net Income, Net Loss and any other item allocable to any period shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Management Committee using any permissible method under the Code and the Treasury Regulations.

(b) The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article VI and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article VI in reporting their shares of the Partnership’s income, gains, loss, deductions, and credits for income tax purposes.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as they share Net Income or Net Loss, as the case may be, for the year.

(d) Solely for purposes of determining a Partner’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 1.752-1T(e) (3) (ii) of the Treasury Regulations, the Partners’ interests in Partnership Net Income are in proportion to their Interests.

(e) To the extent permitted by Sections 1.704-1T(b) (4) (iv) (g) and 1.704-1T(b) (4) (iv) (h) (7) of the Treasury Regulations, the Partnership shall endeavor to treat distributions of Net Cash Flow as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Partner Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Partner.

SECTION 6.02. Allocation of Net Income or Net Loss. Except as

restricted by Section 3.02 or otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income or Net Loss, and each item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit included therein, shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion as their respective Partnership Interests.

SECTION 6.03. Minimum Interest of General Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, the aggregate interests of the General Partners, taken together, in each material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit may not be less than one percent (1%) of each such item at all times during the existence of the Partnership.

SECTION 6.04. Transfer of or Change in Interests. Except as provided in Section 706(d) (2) of the Code, if during any taxable year of the Partnership, there is a Transfer of or a change in any Partner’s Interest in the Partnership, each Partner’s allocable share of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Partnership for such taxable year shall be determined by the use of any method (as determined by the Management Committee) permitted by the Treasury Regulations which takes into account the varying interests of the Partners in the Partnership during such taxable year.

SECTION 6.05. Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the- same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Management Committee in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.05 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Loss, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.06. Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership Fiscal Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (a) the portion of such Partner’s share of the net decreases in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2T(b) (4) (iv) (f) of the Treasury Regulations, that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership property subject to Nonrecourse Liabilities, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-1T(b) (4) (iv) (e) of the Treasury Regulations, or (b) if such Partner would otherwise have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Allocations pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704-1T(b) (4) (iv) (e) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 6.06(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. To the extent permitted by such Section of the Treasury Regulations and for purposes of this Section 6.06(a) only, each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this Article VI with respect to such Fiscal Year and without regard to any net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during such Fiscal Year.

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.06 except Section 6.06(a), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership Fiscal Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-1T(b) (4) (iv) (h) (5) of the Treasury Regulations shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (a) the portion of such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-1T(b) (4) (iv) (h) (5) of the Treasury Regulations, that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership property subject to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-1T(b) (4) (iv) (h) (4) of the Treasury Regulations, or (b) if such Partner would otherwise have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Allocations pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto.

The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section l.704-1T(b) (4) (iv) (h) (4) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 6.06(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this Section 6.06(b), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this Article VI with respect to such Fiscal Year, other than allocations pursuant to Section 6.06(a) hereof.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Sections 1.704-1(b) (2) (ii) (d) (4),1.704-1 (b) (2) (ii) (d) (5), or 1.704-l(b) (2) (ii) (d) (6) of the Treasury Regulations, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.06(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.06(c) were not in the Agreement.

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Partnership Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-1T(b) (4) (iv) (f) and 1.704-1T (b) (4) (iv) (h) (5) of the Treasury Regulations, each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.06(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been made as if Section 6.06(c) hereof and this Section 6.06(d) were not in the Agreement.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Partners in proportion to their Partnership Interests.

(f) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Section 1.704-1T(b) (4) (iv) (h) of the Treasury Regulations.

(g) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the

adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Sections 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b) (2) (iv) (m) of the Treasury Regulations, to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

(h) Allocations Relating to Taxable Issuance of Partnership Interests. Any income, gain, loss or deduction realized as a direct or indirect result of the issuance of a Partnership Interest by the Partnership to a Partner (the “Issuance Items”) shall be allocated among the Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such Issuance Items, together with all other allocations under this Agreement to each Partner, shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner if the Issuance Items had not been realized.

SECTION 6.07. Authority of General Partner to Vary Allocations to Preserve and Protect Partners’ Intent. It is the intent of the Partners that each Partner’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) shall be determined and allocated in accordance with this Article to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code. In order to preserve and protect the determinations and allocations provided for in this Article, the General Partners, subject to the requirements set forth below, are authorized to allocate income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) arising in any year differently than otherwise provided for in this Article in the event that allocating income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) in the manner provided for in this Article would cause the determinations and allocations of each Partner’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) not to be permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code and/or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Any allocation made pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for any allocation otherwise provided for in this Article and no amendment of this Agreement or approval of any Partner shall be required.

(a) In making any allocation (the “new allocation”) under the foregoing subparagraph, the General Partners are authorized to act only after having been advised by legal counsel specializing in tax matters (“Special Tax Counsel”) that under Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (i) the new allocation is necessary, and (ii) the new allocation is an appropriate modification of the allocations otherwise provided for in this Article in order to assure that, either in the then current year or in any preceding year, each Partner’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) is determined and

allocated in accordance with this Article to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(b) If the General Partners are required to make any new allocation in a manner less favorable to any Partner than is otherwise provided for in this Article, the General Partners are authorized and directed, insofar as it is advised by Special Tax Counsel that it is permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code, to allocate income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) arising in later years in a manner so as to bring the allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) to such Partners as nearly as possible to the allocations thereof otherwise contemplated by this Article.

(c) New allocations made by the General Partners in reliance upon the advice of Special Tax Counsel and allocations made by the General Partners under the previous paragraph in reliance upon the advice of Special Tax Counsel shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary obligation of the General Partners to the Partnership and the Partners, and no such allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Partner.

ARTICLE VII

(a) Net Cash Flow, if any, shall be distributed to the Partners under the terms of Section 7.01(b), in proportion to their Interests in the Partnership.

(b) Net Cash Flow shall be distributed at intervals determined by the Management Committee, but not less frequently than quarterly.

SECTION 7.02. General Distribution Rules.

(a) Taxes Withheld. Any amount of taxes withheld by the Partnership pursuant to the Code, the Treasury Regulations or any provision of any state or local tax law with respect to any amount distributable by the Partnership to any Partner shall be deemed to be a distribution or payment to such Partner and shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement. The Management Committee may allocate any such amounts among the Partners in any manner that is in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Distributions in Kind. The Management Committee may distribute all or specified assets of the Partnership in kind to the Partners. If any assets of the Partnership are to be distributed in kind, such assets shall be distributed on the basis of the Gross

Asset Value thereof and any Partner entitled to any interest in such assets shall receive such interest therein as a tenant-in-common with all other Partners so entitled. Before any distribution of the Partnership assets in kind in accordance with this Section 7.02(b), the Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited or debited in accordance with Article V with the amount of Net Income or Net Loss that would have been credited or charged if such assets had been sold at their Gross Asset Values, and the Capital Account of each Partner shall be charged to reflect the distribution of such assets as though the adjusted basis of such assets of the Partnership were equal to the Gross Asset Values of such assets. The Gross Asset Values shall be determined by the Management Committee.

(c) Restrictions on Distributions. While any event of default exists in the repayment of any Partnership indebtedness, whether or not secured, there shall be no distribution of cash or property of the Partnership to any Partner, except for the payments due and payable on loans made by the Partners to the Partnership.

The Management Committee shall have full discretion in the management and control of the Partnership to the extent provided in Section 8.03 to accomplish the purposes set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Each General Partner shall designate two (2) individuals to serve as members of the Management Committee (individually, a “Member” and collectively, the “Members”). Such designation shall be in writing from the President of the General Partner. Either General Partner may substitute another individual or individuals to act in place of the Member or Members designated by such General Partner, or a Member may substitute another individual to act in his place (if so authorized by the General Partner which designated the Member and if such General Partner gives notice to the other General Partners of such authorization). Any such substitution shall be evidenced in writing by the General Partner, or the Member, as the case may be, making the substitution.

(c) Action by the Management Committee shall require the affirmative vote by no less than three (3) Members (or duly designated substitutes therefor).

(e) Notice of a meeting need not be given to any General Partner or Member who signs a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting. Attendance of a Member at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice by such Member.

DISPOSITION OR ASSIGNMENT OF PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

SECTION 12.01. In General. Except for a buyout pursuant to Article XV, no Partner may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security interest in, or otherwise dispose of or encumber its Interest in the Partnership (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law) (any one of the foregoing being called a “Transfer”), unless:

(a) all of the General Partners have consented in writing to such Transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and

(b) such Transfer does not violate the QF status or FERC Ownership Criteria restrictions of Sections 3.02 or 5.01 hereof, and the transferee provides the Partnership appropriate certificates and an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the non-assigning General Partners concluding that the Transfer will not cause the Project to lose its QF status.

Notwithstanding Section 12.01 above, PAS and NDP shall each be permitted to Transfer all or any portion of its respective Limited Partner Interests to an Affiliate without the consent of the other General Partners; provided, however, that the requirements of Section 12.01(b) have been met and that the General Partner shall own directly not less than 48.9796% of the total equity interests of the Affiliate; provided further that (i) in the event that the aggregate amount of the equity funding to be contributed on the Equity Funding Date (the “Equity”) is required by the terms of the Construction Loan and/or the Term Loan to equal 15% or more of the sum of the Equity plus the amount of the Term Loan, then such General Partner may commence to reduce its aggregate equity interest in such Affiliate to not less than 48.9796% of the total equity interest in such Affiliate (whether by sale of its equity interests to, or admission as additional investors of, Persons not affiliated with such General Partner) at any time after the date on which such

Affiliate becomes a Limited Partner or (ii) in the event that the Equity is not required to equal 15% or more of the sum of the Equity plus the amount of the Term Loan, then such General Partner may commence so to reduce its aggregate equity interests in such Affiliate to not less than 48.9796% of the total equity interest in such Affiliate only after the Term Loan Date. In no event shall such General Partner permit its aggregate equity interest in such Affiliate to equal less than 48.9796% of the total equity interests in such Affiliate.

Neither the Partnership nor the Partners shall be bound by any Transfer permitted under this Section above until a counterpart of the instrument of Transfer, executed and acknowledged by the parties thereto, is delivered to the Partnership at its principal place of business, and such Transfer shall be (subject to the other provisions herein) effective as of the date specified therein.

No assignee of an Interest in the Partnership shall become a substituted Limited Partner unless:

(i) all of the non-assigning General Partners have consented in writing thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required in the case of a Transfer by PAS or NDP of a Limited Partner Interest to an Affiliate of PAS or NDP respectively; and

(ii) the assignee has agreed in a writing thereto, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for the non-assigning General Partners, to assume all obligations, covenants, and liabilities under this Agreement of the transferor by signing a counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.02. Assignment in Violation of Section 12.01. Except for a buyout pursuant to Article XV, any purported Transfer or attempted Transfer of a Partnership Interest without the written consent required by Section 12.01, if one is required, shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever; provided, however, that if the Partnership is required to recognize a Transfer made without the written consent required by Section 12.01, if one is required (or, if the Partnership, in its sole discretion, elects to recognize such unauthorized Transfer), the Interest transferred shall be strictly limited to the transferor’s rights to allocations and distributions as provided in this Agreement with respect to the transferred Interests, which allocations and distributions may be applied (without limiting any other legal or equitable rights of the Partnership) to satisfy any debts, obligations, or liabilities for damages that the transferor or transferee of such Interests may have to the Partnership.

Except for the buyout pursuant to Article XV, in the case of a Transfer or attempted Transfer of a Partnership Interest without the

written consent required by Section 12.01, if one is required, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such Transfer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the other Partners from all costs, liabilities, and damages that any of such indemnified persons may incur (including, without limitation, incremental tax liability, losses resulting from the Project ceasing to be a QF, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) as a result of such Transfer or attempted Transfer and efforts to enforce the indemnity granted hereby.

ARTICLE XIII

If such business is continued, as of the date of the Liquidation Event the Affected Partner shall cease to be a General Partner and cease to possess any of the powers granted herein to General Partners, and shall become a Limited Partner with a Limited Partner percentage Interest equal to its interest as a General Partner, and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Limited Partner. Within thirty (30) days after the date on which a General Partner has been removed or has withdrawn as General Partner of the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement, the amount of any loans from the removed or withdrawn General Partner shall be paid by the Partnership to the removed or withdrawn General Partner in cash. Additionally, the Affected Partner shall indemnify the Partnership and the other Partners for any loss, damage, liability, or expense, not including any lost profits, but including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising as a result of its Bankruptcy or dissolution.

(b) If the Partnership is dissolved or to be dissolved by reason of the Bankruptcy or dissolution of the sole remaining General Partner or the withdrawal of all General Partners, and any Limited Partner shall deliver to each of the other Limited Partners, within forty (40) days of such Bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal, a written notice demanding that a meeting of Limited Partners be held at the principal place of business of the Partnership at the time set forth in such notice (which shall be not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice), the Limited Partners shall hold such meeting. Limited Partners attending such meeting, either in person or by proxy, and constituting a majority in interest of the Limited Partners may continue the Partnership with a new General Partner (or General Partners) having the capacity to serve as such and able to meet any requirements then imposed by the Code or any rulings or regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to general partners of limited partnerships in order that the Partnership not become an association taxable as a corporation. If such Limited Partners shall exercise such right to continue the business of the Partnership, the Person or Persons appointed by them as the new General Partner(s) shall

assume the rights, powers and responsibilities of the General Partners as provided in this Agreement upon the effective date of the Bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal of the General Partner(s), provided the proposed substitute General Partner(s) delivers to the Partners a written agreement by such proposed substitute General Partner(s) (the “Substitute General Partner Agreement”) within thirty (30) days after selection, which Substitute General Partner Agreement shall set forth the following proposed agreements by such substitute General Partner(s): (i) to be bound by this Agreement (provided, however, that such substitute General Partner(s) shall be allocated such share of the Net Income, Net Loss and distributions of the Partnership and shall be paid such fees as the Limited Partners selecting such substitute General Partner(s) shall determine); (ii) to assume the rights, powers and responsibilities of the General Partners pursuant to the terms of this Agreement accruing after the effective date of such Bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal; (iii) to amend this Agreement to reflect the Bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal of the Bankrupt, dissolved or withdrawn General Partner and the appointment of such substitute General Partner; (iv) to perform the duties and responsibilities of the General Partners, which shall automatically relieve the Bankrupt, dissolved or withdrawn General Partner of all obligations arising after the effective date of such Bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, except as specifically provided in this Agreement; and (v) to record, file and publish any certificates or documents as may be appropriate to evidence or effect such Bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal, substitution and release, including a Certificate of Amendment. Upon effective substitution of a substitute General Partner, this Agreement shall remain in effect and the business of the Partnership shall be continued.

The substitute General Partner shall provide or cause the Partnership to provide satisfactory evidence of such indemnification to the Bankrupt, dissolved or withdrawn General Partner.

SECTION 13.03. Liquidation and Winding Up.

Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, unless an election to continue the business of the Partnership is made pursuant to Section 13.02 hereof, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners. No Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs, and no Partner shall receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article XIII. In that event, the Management Committee, or such other person as may be authorized by law, shall,

as soon as practicable, wind up the affairs of the Partnership and sell or distribute the assets of the Partnership as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(iv) to the payment and discharge of all debts and liabilities owed to Partners not covered in Section 13.03(i) hereof; and

(v) to pay each Partner in accordance with each Partner’s positive Capital Account balance, as adjusted pursuant to Article VI for all transactions up to and including such Liquidation Event.

ARTICLE XV

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

SECTION 15.01. Disputes. All material claims, disputes, or other controversies, other than claims arising out of or relating to a good faith assertion that a General Partner has committed fraud, misappropriation or any other intentional tortious conduct against the Partnership, (hereinafter, a “Dispute”) between the General Partners arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, deadlocks of the Management Committee referred to in Section 8.02 hereof, shall be decided pursuant to the provisions of this Section 15.01. Within five business days after a General Partner gives notice to the other General Partners that a Dispute exists and that it cannot be resolved, because (i) the Management Committee is deadlocked and has remained deadlocked for a period of at least five business days, (ii) the Management Committee has failed or been unable to meet for the purpose of taking action necessary to resolve the Dispute, or (iii) the General Partners have not been able to agree on the choice among one or more alternatives under Section 3.02(d), then the procedure described in Section 15.02 shall apply.

SECTION 15.02. Buy-Out Provisions.

(a) Either General Partner (the “Terminating Party”) may, within 15 days after the end of the 5 day period referenced in Section 15.01 hereof, furnish to the other General Partner an offer to sell (the “Offer to Sell”) stating (i) the selling price at which the Terminating Party is willing to sell all of its Interest in the Partnership (the “Offering Price”); (ii) the terms other than price on which the Terminating Party is willing to sell its Interest in the Partnership, subject to all necessary consents being obtained under all agreements to which the Partnership is a party, and (iii) a written statement being given by the Terminating Party to the other General Partner (“Other Party”) that the procedures required by Section 15.01(a) have been completed and the Dispute remains unresolved.

(b) Upon receipt of the Offer to Sell, the Other Party shall be obligated to either (i) purchase the Interest of the Terminating Party at a price equal to the Offering Price, or (ii) sell to the Terminating Party the Interest of the Other Party at a price which bears the same proportion to the Offering Price as the Interest in the Partnership of the Other Party bears to the Interest in the Partnership of the Terminating Party.

(c) The Other Party shall have a period of 10 days after the receipt of such notice within which to notify the Terminating Party in writing (the “Reply Notice”) whether the Other Party shall either

(i) sell to the Terminating Party all of its Interest, or (ii) purchase all of the Terminating Party’s Interest. In the event that the Reply Notice is not so given prior to the expiration of the 10 day period, then it shall be conclusively presumed that the Other Party has agreed to sell all of its Interest to the Terminating Party, and the Terminating Party (i) shall obtain all required consents under all agreements to which the Partnership is a party (the “Consents”) within 30 days after the date on which the Reply Notice is given or presumed given, and (ii) shall purchase all of the Interest of the Other Party at the Price determined under Section 15.02(b) (ii) above within 30 days after obtaining the Consents (the “Purchase Period”). The Partners shall promptly request all necessary consents to such transaction. If the Other Party elects to purchase, it shall purchase within the Purchase Period all of the Interest of the Terminating Party at the Offering Price as determined above and in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 15.02(c). The Partner purchasing the Interest is referred to herein as the “Purchaser,” and the Partner selling the Interest is referred to herein as the “Seller.” In the event that the Offering Price is not paid to the Seller within 60 days of the date on which the Reply Notice is given or presumed given, the Offering Price shall accrue interest, at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate of First Florida Bank, N.A., Tampa, Florida, plus two percent, from the date on which the Reply Notice is given or presumed given until paid in full.

The cash portion of the purchase price shall be paid at the closing by cashier’s check drawn to the order of the Seller on a bank reasonably acceptable to Seller or, at Seller’s option, by wire transfer according to Seller’s instructions. The balance of the purchase price, if any, shall be evidenced and secured as set forth in the Offer of Purchase.

(d) In connection with the sale of any Partner’s Interest to the other Partner pursuant to this Section 15.02, if there shall be any outstanding loans by the Seller to the Partnership, such loans, including accrued interest, if any, shall be paid by the Purchaser at the closing in the same manner as the cash portion of the purchase price under Section 15.02(c) of this Agreement. At the closing, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser any notes evidencing such loans.

(e) The Partners shall not be entitled to any distribution of Net Cash Flow or of capital from the Partnership following the giving of the Offer of Purchase nor shall there be any distributions to any Partner from the date of the giving of the Offer of Purchase until the closing of such purchase.

(f) At the closing, the Seller shall assign and transfer to the Purchaser all of the Seller’s Interest in the Partnership, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, together with a quit-claim deed and bill of sale to all of the Partnership’s

property, and such other documents of title or assignment as the Purchaser may reasonably require. Any transfer taxes on such assignment and transfer shall be paid by the Seller.

(g) It is the intent of the Partners that the requirements or obligations of a General Partner to sell its Interest in the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15.02 shall be enforceable by specific performance with the same force and effect and at least to the same extent as is permitted by law for the specific performance of a contract relating to the purchase of real property or any interest therein.

(h) In any case in which a General Partner is required by this Section 15.02 to purchase the Interests of the other General Partner as a result of a Dispute, such Dispute shall be deemed resolved by the General Partner purchasing at any time after such party becomes bound to make such purchase. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.02 of this Agreement, from the time a party is bound hereby to purchase the Interests of a General Partner until the closing of such transaction, no Member of the Management Committee designated by the Seller shall be entitled to vote at a meeting of the Management Committee and, during such period, action may be taken by the Management Committee by an unanimous vote at a meeting attended by only the two Members designated by the Purchaser.

(i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event a General Partner offers to sell pursuant to Section 15.02(a) or sells pursuant to Section 15.02(b) or becomes obligated to sell pursuant to Section 15.02(c), such General Partner shall be obligated to offer or sell, or cause an offer or sale to be made of all the Partnership Interests of such General Partner and all of the Partnership Interests of all Affiliates of such General Partner pursuant to this Section 15.02; provided, however, that DIL and any entity to which PAS has transferred Limited Partnership Interests, if at all, (“PAS’ Transferee”) shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of a General Partner for purposes of this Section 15.02 if any person that is not an Affiliate of such General Partner is a partner in DIL or PAS’ Transferee. In the event that DIL or PAS’ Transferee are excluded from the operation of the preceding sentence by the proviso thereto, but such General Partner or its Affiliate is a partner in DIL or PAS’ Transferee, then DIL or PAS’ Transferee shall, prior to the sale by such General Partner of its interest in the Partnership pursuant to this Section 15.02, be dissolved, and the partners in DIL or PAS’ Transferee shall receive distributions from DIL or PAS’ Transferee as provided in Section 15.02(j), below; the partnership agreement or articles of incorporation of DIL or PAS’ Transferee shall incorporate provisions effecting the requirements of this sentence and of Section 15.02(j). Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, each General Partner agrees to take such steps as are necessary to insure compliance with this Section 15.02 by each of such General Partner’s Affiliates, if any. (j) Upon a

dissolution of DIL or PAS’ Transferee pursuant to Section 15.02(i), if any, the Interest of DIL or PAS’. Transferee in the Partnership shall be distributed to the partners in DIL or PAS’ Transferee in kind; in proportion to their respective interests in the profits, losses and credits of DIL or PAS’ Transferee.

ARTICLE XVI

CONFIDENTIALITY

SECTION 16.01. Confidentiality.

(a) During the term of this Agreement, the Partnership and each Partner shall take all steps which are necessary or reasonable to safeguard the secrecy and confidentiality of, and proprietary rights of the Partnership to, any and all confidential information, and shall not disclose any confidential information to any third party except (i) as required to develop, further develop, modify, or exploit the Project, or (ii) as required by law to be disclosed.

(b) In the event that the Partnership, any Partner, or any Affiliate of a Partner shall make available any confidential information to any third party, such disclosing person shall first obtain from such third party (or, in the case of disclosure to a governmental agency or body, shall use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality of such information) for the benefit of the Partnership, a written agreement that such third party (i) will protect the confidentiality of such confidential information, (ii) will not disclose such confidential information without the prior written consent of the Partnership, and (iii) upon the termination of such third party’s right to use or possess such confidential information, will return to the Partnership all documents, copies of all documents and other tangible or intangible manifestations, and copies thereof, relating to the Project, all confidential information and any other proprietary information of the Partnership in such third party’s possession or control, including, without limitation, pictures, writing, magnetic tapes, drawings, models, experimental tools, tooling, documents, and copies of any of the foregoing.

(c) During the term of this Agreement, the Partners will take all steps necessary and reasonable to protect the confidentiality of the Partnership’s confidential information and to use the same during the term of this Agreement only for the purposes set forth herein. This Section 16.01(c) shall not apply to any particular item of information if such item was in the public domain at the time of such disclosure, or subsequently comes into the public domain through no fault of the disclosing Partner.

SECTION 16.02. Injunctive Relief. In the event of a breach by any Partner or its Affiliates of any of the obligations or covenants of the Partner contained in this Article XVI, although the damage to

the Partnership and the other Partners will be substantial, the same will be difficult to ascertain, money damages will not afford an adequate remedy, and the Partnership and the other Partners will suffer irreparable injury. Therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights or remedies which may be provided by law or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Partnership and the other Partners shall have the right to specific performance of such particular obligations or covenants in this Article XVI by way of temporary and permanent injunctive relief.
