(i) amending, modifying or terminating this Agreement or the Certificate of Formation in any manner that disproportionately and adversely affects the rights, preferences or privileges of any holder of a class of Units as compared to the holders of other classes of Units;

(ii) reclassifying any Units, or consummating any restructuring or reorganization of the Company, in any manner that disproportionately and adversely affects the rights, preferences or privileges of any holder of a class of Units as compared to the holders of other classes of Units;

(iii) entering into, amending, terminating or failing to enforce (or abandoning any right under) any agreement or other transaction with any Affiliate; provided that this clause (iii) shall not apply to (A) agreements or other transactions between or among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries or (B) such entry into or amendments to agreements where the Company reasonably demonstrates that such agreement or amendment is on terms no less favorable to the Company than those that might be obtained at the time from an unaffiliated third party;

(iv) until the earlier of (A) ten (10) years following the date that Member A initially acquired Units in the Company and (B) the date on which Member A notifies the Company that it is relinquishing the right set forth in this clause (iv), selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;

(vi) permitting any of the Company’s subsidiaries to take any action that, if taken by the Company, would require consent under this Section 4.6(c); and

The Manager shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Members, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of this Article IV, the conduct of voting, the validity and effectiveness of any proxies and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting. The Manager shall designate a Person to serve as chairperson of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take minutes of any meeting. The chairperson of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice, other than announcement of the time and place of the adjourned meeting. Upon the resumption of such adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, shall be signed and dated by the Members having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Units entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote of the signing Members at a meeting duly called and held pursuant to this Article IV. No prior notice from the signing Members to the Company or other Members shall be required in connection with the use of a written consent pursuant to this Section 4.8. Notification of any action taken by means of a written consent of Members shall, however, be sent within a reasonable time after the date of the consent by the Company to all Members who did not sign the written consent, but in any event, such Notification shall be sent no later than five (5) Business Days after such action is taken.

A Member may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the Member. A facsimile, email or similar transmission by the Member or a photographic, facsimile, photocopy or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the Member shall be treated as an execution in writing for purposes of this Section 4.9. Proxies for use at any meeting of Members or in connection with the taking of any action by written consent shall be filed with the Company before or at the time of the meeting or execution of the written consent, as the case may be. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the Manager who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairperson of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest. Should a proxy designate two or more Persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such Persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the Company shall not be required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the Units that are the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the powers of the Company shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the direction of, the “Manager.” The Manager shall be a “manager” of the Company within the meaning of Section 18-101(10) of the Act. The Manager as of the Effective Date shall be Member B.

(a) Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Agreement, the Manager shall have complete and exclusive discretion in the management and control of the business and affairs of the Company, including the right to make and control all ordinary and usual decisions concerning the business and affairs of the Company. The Manager shall, subject to Section 4.6(c), possess all power, on behalf of the Company, to do or authorize the Company or to direct the officers of the Company, on behalf of the Company, to do all things necessary or convenient to carry out the business and affairs of the Company.

(b) The Manager shall devote so much of its time to the affairs of the Company and the conduct of the Company business as it, in its sole judgment, shall reasonably determine to be required and shall not be obligated to do or perform any act or thing in connection with the business of the Company not expressly set forth herein.

The enumeration of powers in this Agreement shall not limit the general or implied powers of the Manager or any additional powers provided by law.

The Manager may resign by providing written Notice to the Company and the Members; provided that the Manager’s resignation may not be effective until a successor Manager is selected pursuant to this Section 5.5. The Manager may be removed for cause by the Members holding approval of Members holding at least (a) 51% of the Class A Units then outstanding and (b) 51% of the Class B Units then outstanding, each class voting or consenting, as the case may be, separately, but excluding the Units of any Member who is, or is an Affiliate of, the Manager. For purposes of this section, “cause” means: (i) fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or criminal violation of Law by the Manager in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or in connection with causing the Company to perform in accordance with the Project Documents; (ii) the Bankruptcy or dissolution of the Manager; (iii) a material breach by Manager of this Agreement which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax credits available to the Members, which breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days from the date Notice thereof is given to the Manager by a Member; or (iv) if neither the Manager nor any Affiliates of the Manager is a Member of the Company. Upon the resignation or removal of the Manager, the Members holding (A) 51% of the Class A Units then outstanding and (B) 51% of the Class B Units then outstanding shall select a new Manager but, in the case of the removal of the Manager as provided herein, excluding the Units of any member who is, or is an Affiliate of, the Manager so removed. Except as provided in Section 5.5, the Manager shall not resign its rights or obligations as Manager without the prior written approval of each Member.

The Manager and Members may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of every kind and description, independently or with others, including, without limitation, the development, construction and operation of a separate geothermal power generation project near the Project (referred to herein as “Phase II”). Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement or the Company relationship created hereby, in or to such other ventures or activities of the Manager or any other Member or any of their respective Affiliates, or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the business of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE EXTENT THAT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, THE MANAGER OR ANY MEMBER HAS ANY DUTIES (FIDUCIARY OR OTHERWISE) AND LIABILITIES RELATING THERETO TO THE COMPANY OR ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE COMPANY, (A) NEITHER THE MANAGER NOR ANY MEMBER SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE COMPANY OR THE OTHER MEMBERS FOR ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE MANAGER, ANY MEMBER OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES IN RELIANCE UPON THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, (B) THE MANAGER IS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED TO SERVE AS A MANAGER OR DIRECTOR OF ANY OTHER ENTITY, INCLUDING OTHER ENTITIES IN THE SAME OR SIMILAR INDUSTRIES, (C) EACH MEMBER AND THE MANAGER IS PERMITTED TO EXPLORE AND DEVELOP BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES OUTSIDE OF THE COMPANY, EVEN IF SUCH OPPORTUNITIES MAY COMPETE WITH THE ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY, (D) NO MANAGER OR MEMBER IS REQUIRED, BY VIRTUE OF THEIR POSITION AS A MANAGER OR MEMBER, TO PRESENT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN THE GEOTHERMAL INDUSTRY OR UTILIZING GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES TO THE MANAGER, THE COMPANY OR THE OTHER MEMBERS BEFORE PURSUING SUCH OPPORTUNITIES IN ANY CAPACITY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY OTHER ENTITY, AND (E) THE DUTIES (FIDUCIARY OR OTHERWISE) OF THE MANAGER AND EACH MEMBER ARE INTENDED TO BE MODIFIED AND LIMITED TO THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND, EXCEPT FOR THE IMPLIED CONTRACTUAL COVENANT OF GOOD FAITH AND FAIR DEALING, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NO IMPLIED COVENANTS, FUNCTIONS, RESPONSIBILITIES, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES SHALL BE READ INTO THIS AGREEMENT, OR OTHERWISE EXIST AGAINST THE MANAGER OR ANY MEMBER.

The Manager shall have the right to appoint officers of the Company. The scope of any such officer’s power and authority shall be as expressly set forth in a resolution of the Manager, and no officer shall have greater power or authority than the Manager. Without the requisite prior approval of the Members in respect thereof, no officer shall, on behalf of the Company, authorize, engage in or enter into any of the transactions or actions specified in Section 4.6(c). The Manager shall have the right to modify or limit the authority of, or remove, and officer of the Company at any time, either for or without cause.

When the taking of such action has been authorized by the Manager or (if required) the Members, the Manager or any officer of the Company, as the case may be, may execute any contract, agreement, instrument, certificate or other document on behalf of the Company and may execute and file on behalf of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware any document, certificate or instrument, including without limitation any (a) certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Formation, (b) one or more restated certificates of formation, (c) certificate of merger or consolidation or (d) upon the dissolution and completion of winding up of the Company, certificate of dissolution.

The annual budget of the Company and any modification, amendment or supplement thereto shall be established for each year pursuant to the O&M Agreement (the “Operating Budget”).

Capital Contributions, revenues and any other Company funds shall be deposited by the Company in a bank account established in the name of the Company, or shall be invested by the Company, at the direction of the Manager, in furtherance of the purpose of the Company set forth in Section 1.5. No other funds shall be deposited into Company bank accounts or commingled with Company investments. Funds deposited in the Company’s bank accounts may be withdrawn only to be invested in furtherance of the Company’s purposes, to pay Company debts or obligations or to be distributed to the Members pursuant to this Agreement.

(a) During the term of the Company’s existence and for a period of four (4) years thereafter, there shall be maintained in the Company’s principal office all records required to be kept pursuant to the Act, including a current list of the names, addresses and Units held by each of the Members (including the dates on which each of the Members became a Member), copies of this Agreement and the Certificate of Formation, including all amendments or restatements, and correct and complete books and records of account of the Company.

(b) On written request, a Member may examine and copy, at any reasonable time, for any purpose reasonably related to such Member’s interest as a Member of the Company, and at the Member’s expense, records required to be maintained under the Act and such other information regarding the business, affairs and financial condition of the Company as is reasonable for the Member to examine and copy. Upon written request by any Member made to the Company at the address of the Company’s principal office, the Company shall provide to the Member without charge true copies of this Agreement and the Certificate of Formation and all amendments or restatements.

The Company shall maintain adequate books and records of account that shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting and on a basis consistent with GAAP and appropriate provisions of the Code, containing, among other entries, a Capital Account for each class of Units held by each Member. The Company shall also maintain books for the purpose of registering the transfer of Units.

(a) Within twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month and forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter (other than for the month and calendar quarter ending simultaneously with the end of the Company’s Fiscal Year), an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as at the end of such month and unaudited statements of income and of changes in cash flow of the Company for such month and for the current Fiscal Year to the end of such month setting forth in comparative form the Company’s financial statements for the corresponding periods for the prior Fiscal Year, if any, including a comparison to the then current budget, all in reasonable detail.

(b) Within ninety (90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, an audited balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such year and audited statements of income and of changes in cash flow of the Company for such year, including comparisons to the corresponding periods in prior years, prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

(c) No later than sixty (60) days prior to the start of each new Fiscal Year, the Operating Budget approved in accordance with Section 5.10, which Operating Budget shall be in reasonable detail and contain a projected financial statement for such fiscal year on a monthly basis, and operating goals for the Project, and promptly after preparation from time to time, any revisions to the forecasts contained therein.

(d) Notice of any noncompliance by the Company with any Applicable Law that could reasonably be likely to have a material adverse affect on the business, assets, financial condition, prospects or results of operations of the Company.

(e) Any other financial or other information available to the officers of the Company as any Member reasonably requests.

The fiscal year-end financial statements to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.4(a) shall be audited. The audit shall be performed by a nationally-recognized accounting firm selected by Manager in its sole discretion.

The fiscal year of the Company shall be as required under the Code (the “Fiscal Year”). Beginning January 1, 2009, the Fiscal Year shall be the calendar year. Each Fiscal Year shall consist of four quarters (each, a “Fiscal Quarter”) ending on the last day in March, June, September and December of each fiscal year.

(a) Member A is hereby designated Tax Matters Member for the Company in accordance with the definition of “tax matters partner” set forth in Section 6231 of the Code and shall be so designated in each U.S. federal information return filed on behalf of the Company in the Class A Initial Allocation Period; Member B is hereby designated Tax Matters Member for the Company, with respect to Taxable Years after the Class A Initial Allocation Period only, in accordance with the definition of “tax matters partner” set forth in Section 6231 of the Code and shall be so designated in each U.S. federal information return filed on behalf of the Company in all Taxable Years after the Class A Initial Allocation Period. The Member so designated for the Company at any time shall be referred to herein as the “Tax Matters Member”. The Tax Matters Member shall not be liable to the Company or any Member or Affiliate of the Company or any Member for any act or omission taken or suffered by it in such capacity in good faith and in the belief that such act or omission is in or is not opposed to the best interests of the Company and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified by the Company in respect of any claim based upon such act or omission; provided, however, that such act or omission does not constitute gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.

(b) The Tax Matters Member shall promptly deliver to each Member copies of all written Tax Correspondence and shall promptly advise each Member of the content of any substantive verbal Tax Correspondence. The Tax Matters Member shall use all reasonable efforts to provide each Member and its attorneys the opportunity to attend any such conversations, and shall keep each Member advised of all developments with respect to any proposed adjustments that come to the Tax Matters Member’s attention. In addition, the Tax Matters Member shall (x) provide to each Member draft copies of any substantive correspondence or filing to be submitted by the Tax Matters Member to the IRS (or other taxing authority), including, without limitation, with respect to any tax contest (a “Written Submission”), at least 14 Business Days prior to the date the Written Submission is required to be submitted, (y) shall consider in good faith changes or comments to the Written Submission requested by other Members, and shall consult with such other Members with respect to such changes and comments; provided, however, that if the Tax Matters Member and the other Members, acting reasonably, cannot agree on the changes or comments to the Written Submission, the Tax Matters Member’s changes or comments shall control, and (z) shall provide to each Member a final copy of the Written Submission. The Tax Matters Member shall provide each Member with notice reasonably in advance of any scheduled meetings or conferences (including telephone conferences) with respect to any tax contest, and such other Members and their counsel will have the right to attend any such scheduled meetings or conferences. The Tax Matters Member will take such reasonable actions, including providing powers of attorney, as may be necessary for each Member and its counsel to attend such meetings and conferences. Each Member shall provide the Tax Matters Member with written comments to drafts of Written Submissions delivered pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of such drafts. Each Member shall be deemed to have no comments if the Tax Matters Member has not received such Member’s written comments within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of such drafts.

(c) The Tax Matters Member agrees that it will not take the following actions without each Member’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned):

(ii) Terminating an extension of the statute of limitations regarding the Company’s tax year;

(iii) Seeking technical advice or otherwise involving IRS personnel outside the audit team or using procedures (e.g., a Pre-Filing Agreement or Industry Issue Resolution Program) outside the normal audit procedures with respect to a tax contest; and

(iv) If a tax contest results in a deficiency, choosing the forum for appeals or litigation, and settling or proposing a settlement for such a controversy.

(d) At the Company’s expense, the Tax Matters Member shall cause a nationally-recognized accounting firm designated by Manager in its sole discretion to prepare the U.S. federal income tax returns for the Company and all other tax and information returns of the Company, including state and local tax returns. The Tax Matters Member may extend the time for filing any such tax returns as provided for under applicable statutes. Each Member shall provide such information, if any, as may be reasonably needed by such accounting firm for purposes of preparing such tax returns, provided that such information is readily available from regularly maintained accounting records. Draft Forms K-1 and any other information required for the Members to prepare financial statements or tax returns (including state apportionment information) shall be provided to the Members no later than sixty (60) days after the end of the Company’s Taxable Year. At least sixty (60) days prior to filing the U.S. federal and state income tax returns and information returns of the Company, the Tax Matters Member shall deliver to the Members for their review a copy of the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns and information returns in the form proposed to be filed for each Taxable Year, and shall incorporate all reasonable changes or comments to such proposed tax returns and information returns requested by Members at least ten days prior to the filing date for such returns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Tax Matters Member and another Member have a disagreement with respect to such tax returns, such disagreement, to the extent the parties are not able to reach agreement, shall be resolved by a nationally-recognized accounting firm designated by Manager in its sole discretion, whose costs shall be shared equally by Member A and Member B and whose determination shall be final. After taking into account any such changes described above, the Tax Matters Member shall cause the Company to timely file, taking into account any applicable extensions, such tax returns. Within twenty (20) days after filing such U.S. federal and state income tax returns and information returns of the Company, the Tax Matters Member shall cause the Company to deliver to each Member a copy of the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns and information returns as filed for each Taxable Year, together with any additional tax-related information in the possession of the Company that such Member may reasonably and timely request in order to properly prepare its own income tax returns.

(e) The Operator, to the extent that Company funds are available, shall cause the Company to pay any taxes payable by the Company (it being understood that the expenses of preparation and filing of the tax returns, and the amounts of taxes, are expenses of the Company and not of the Tax Matters Member); provided that the Tax Matters Member shall not be required to cause the Company to pay any tax so long as the Company (under the direction of the Tax Matters Member as described above) is in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings contesting the validity, applicability or amount thereof and such contest does not materially endanger any right or interest of the Company.

(f) To the extent that the Company may, or is required to, make elections for U.S. federal, state or local income or other tax purposes, such elections shall be made by the Tax Matters Member. The Tax Matters Member agrees to cause the Company to make the following elections for tax purposes:

(i) To adopt the calendar year as its taxable year (the “Taxable Year”), unless otherwise required by law;

(iii) To compute the allowance for depreciation utilizing the shortest life and fastest method permissible under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System or other applicable depreciation system, for tax purposes only;

(iv) To amortize organization expenditures, if any, over a sixty (60) month period in accordance with Code Section 195(b) and any similar state statute;

(v) To amortize start-up expenditures, if any, over a sixty (60) month period in accordance with Code Section 709(b) and any similar state statute;

(vi) To make such other elections as it may deem advisable to reduce Company taxable income to the maximum extent possible and to take deductions in the earliest Taxable Year possible; and

(vii) To make the election provided under Code Section 754 and any corresponding provision of applicable state law at the request of any Member.

(viii) To the extent permitted by law, the Members agree to report their tax items with respect to, and arising from, their interests in the Company in a manner that is consistent with the Company’s tax returns.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the dissolution of the Company or the termination of any Member’s interest in the Company and shall remain binding on all Members for a period of time necessary to resolve with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any applicable state or local taxing authority all matters (including litigation) regarding the U.S. federal, state and local income taxation, as the case may be, of the Company or any Member with respect to the Company.

(h) The Company shall take all steps necessary to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, to the extent relevant, for state tax purposes. The Company shall not make an election or take any action that would cause the Company to be excluded from the application of the provisions of subchapter K of chapter 1 of subtitle A of the Code or any similar provision of applicable state law, and no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to sanction or approve such election or action. No election shall be made for the Company to be treated as a corporation, or an association taxable as a corporation, under the Code or any provision of any state or local tax laws.

(i) It is the intent of the Members that the Company and the Company Property be managed so as to ensure that the Members of the Company shall be entitled to claim the Renewable Electricity Production Credits provided under Sections 38(b)(8) and 45 of the Code with respect to all electricity sold by the Company during the 10-year period set forth in Section 45(a)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code in proportion with their allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses under Article IX. No Member shall act in any manner that is inconsistent with the allocation of the Renewable Electricity Production Credits set forth in this Agreement.

(j) The Company and Member B hereby represent, warrant and covenant to Member A as follows:

(i) At all times prior to the date of the Original Operating Agreement, the Company will have had a single owner and will not have made an election to be treated as a corporation under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701 -3;

(ii) Member B will not claim an energy credit under Section 48 with respect to the assets of the Company;

(iii) Neither Member B nor the Company has or will receive: (A) any grants from the United States, a state, or a political subdivision of a state for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; (B) proceeds of an issue of state or local government obligations used to provide financing for the transactions contemplated hereby the interest on which is exempt from tax under Section 103; (C) any subsidized energy financing provided (directly or indirectly) under a U.S. federal, state or local program provided in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; or (D) any credit allowable with respect to any property or business in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the Renewable Energy Production Credits);

(iv) Member B expects to have adequate assets, other than its interest in the Company, to satisfy its obligations, if any, under Section 9.2(f)(ii) of this Agreement; and

(v) Neither Member B nor the Company is directly or indirectly related to the Idaho Power Company in any capacity.

(k) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the Company shall make the election described in Section 6221(b) of the Code (as in effect at such time), in the manner prescribed by the IRS.

(a) Member A may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (a “Transfer”) all or any of its Units without the approval of any other Member; provided, however, that if any such Transfer is to be made during the Class A Initial Allocation Period prior to the full funding of the Capital Contributions contemplated to be made by Member A pursuant to Section 8.1, such Transfer may only be made if (i) Member A remains obligated with respect to such Capital Contributions, or (ii) Member B has consented in writing to such Transfer (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Member A may not Transfer all or any of its Units to a Competitor unless (1) the O&M Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms or (2) neither Member B nor any Affiliate of Member B is the Operator.

(b) Member B may sell its Class B Units and Class C Units without the approval of any other Member, provided that:

(i) Member B may not Transfer any Class B Units or Class C Units to a Person (A) that would cause the Company to be in violation of any provision of the Project Documents, or (B) that would cause the Company to fail to be eligible to receive the Renewable Electricity Production Credits; and

(ii) such Transfer (A) is made to (I) a Person who has owned or operated utility-scale geothermal projects in the United States for at least the last five (5) preceding years or (II) any Person, including an investment bank, private equity fund, or infrastructure fund, that has retained a Person that has operated utility-scale geothermal projects in the United States for at least the last five (5) preceding years to operate the Project after the Transfer from and after such Transfer pursuant to a long-term, arm’slength operations and management agreement, or (B) has the written consent of Member A, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Member B may collaterally assign, pledge, encumber, or hypothecate all or any of its Units to any third party providing financing to Member B without the approval of any other Member; provided that if the third party providing such financing forecloses on any of the Units, such third party shall be obligated to enter into this Agreement and assume all of the obligations and liabilities of Member B set forth herein.

A transferee of a Unit desiring to be admitted as a Member must execute and deliver to the Company a counterpart of, or an agreement adopting, this Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company. Subject to compliance with Section 7.1, upon such execution and delivery, such transferee shall be admitted as a Member and the transferee shall have, to the extent of the Unit transferred, the rights and powers and shall be subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement, the Certificate of Formation and the Act. The transferee shall also be liable, to the extent of the Unit transferred, for the unfulfilled obligations, if any, of the transferor Member to make Capital Contributions, but shall not be obligated for liabilities unknown to the transferee at the time such transferee was admitted as a Member and that could not be ascertained from this Agreement. Whether or not the transferee of a Unit becomes a Member, the transferor Member shall not be released from any liability to the Company under this Agreement, the Certificate of Formation or the Act.

Additional Members of the Company may only be added if the addition of any such proposed additional Member is approved in writing, prior to such admission, by all of the then-existing Members and, in each such case, such proposed additional Member satisfies the requirements of Section 7.2.

At any time after the expiration of the Class A Initial Allocation Period, Member B shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause Member A to sell to Member B all, but not less than all, of the Class A Units (free and clear of all liens and encumbrances) for an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Units at such time. In the event Member B desires to exercise such option under this Section 7.4, it shall notify the Company and Member A, and Member B and Member A shall mutually agree upon (i) the Fair Market Value of the Class A Units as of the time of such determination or (ii) an independent appraiser who shall be qualified by his or her education, training and experience in the renewable energy industry to determine the Fair Market Value of the Class A Units as of the time of such determination. Failing agreement by the Members, the Company shall request the New York, New York office of the American Arbitration Association to appoint an independent appraiser qualified by his or her education, training and experience in the renewable energy industry to determine the Fair Market Value of the Class A Units as of the time of such determination. Member B must exercise its option to purchase all but not less than all of the Class A Units, and Member A and Member B shall consummate such purchase and sale, within sixty (60) days after such Fair Market Value determination. The costs and expenses of the independent appraiser shall be borne equally by the Members.

Member A and Member B have made the following Capital Contributions in the aggregate amounts set forth below prior to or on the Effective Date:

Member B made or caused to be made all transfers listed in the Transfer Plan as contemplated by the Transfer Plan.

(a) Neither Member A nor Member B shall be obligated to make any Capital Contributions other than such Member’s Capital Contribution set forth in Section 8.1. Each Party agrees that no additional Capital Contributions or capital calls may be made without the consent of all Parties to this Agreement, except as provided in Section 8.2(b).

(b) If at any time, after the Effective Date, Member B determines to raise additional capital for the Company to fund a Capital Improvement, then Member B shall first issue a written notice to the Members (a “Call Notice”) setting forth the amount of Capital Contributions Member B desires to raise (the “Call Amount”), a description of the Capital Improvement to be funded by such Capital Contributions, the date on which such Capital Contributions are due, and a financial projection showing the anticipated additional project revenues and expenditures if the Capital Improvements are completed. Member A shall have the right, but not the obligation, to contribute its pro rata share based on the ratio of Capital Contributions made by Member A pursuant to Section 8.1 to total Capital Contributions made by all Members. If Member A desires to exercise its rights under this Section 8.2(b), it must deliver a written notice to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Call Notice. If Member A elects to contribute its pro rata share of the Call Amount, Member A and Member B shall be obligated to make the Capital Contributions set forth in the Call Notice on the date set forth in the Call Notice (or such other date as Member B may determine). If Member A does not elect to contribute its pro rata share of the Call Amount, Member B shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make Capital Contributions to fund the Capital Improvement (“Member B Capital Contribution”), and Member A shall have no further right or obligation with respect to any Capital Improvements.

Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Act, no Member shall have the right to withdraw, or receive any return of, all or any portion of such Member’s Capital Contribution.

The fair market value of contributions of property, other than cash, made under this Article VIII shall be the value agreed upon by the Members.

No interest shall be paid by the Company on Capital Contributions or on balances in Members’ Capital Accounts.

Loans by a Member to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Member shall advance funds to the Company in excess of the amounts required hereunder to be contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company, the making of such advances shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Member. The amounts of any such advances shall be a debt of the Company to such Member and shall be payable or collectible only out of the Company Property in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such advances are made. The repayment of loans from a Member to the Company upon liquidation shall be subject to the order of priority set forth in Section 12.2.

(a) The Company shall maintain a capital account for each Member in accordance with Section 704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (each, a “Capital Account”). Each Member’s Capital Account as of the Effective Date will equal its Capital Contributions made under Article VIII as of such date.

(b) The Capital Account of each Member will be increased by (i) the amount of any cash and the agreed Book Value of any property (net of liabilities encumbering the property), as of the date of contribution, contributed as a Capital Contribution to the capital of the Company by that Member upon the agreement of all of the parties to this Agreement, as contemplated by Section 8.2, (ii) the amount of any Net Profits allocated to that Member, (iii) any items of income specially allocated to that Member under this Article IX, (iv) that Member’s pro rata share (determined in the same manner as that Member’s share of Net Profits pursuant to Section 9.2) of income of the Company that is exempt from tax. The Capital Account of each Member will be decreased by (i) the amount of any Net Losses allocated to that Member, (ii) the amount of distributions to that Member, (iii) any deductions specially allocated to that Member under this Article IX, and (iv) that Member’s pro rata share (determined in the same manner as that Member’s share of Net Losses pursuant to Section 9.2) of any other expenditures of the Company that are not deductible in computing Company Net Profits or Net Losses and which are not chargeable to capital account. In all respects, the Member’s Capital Accounts will be determined in accordance with the detailed capital accounting rules set forth in Section 1.704 -1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations and will be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in Section 1.704 -1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Treasury Regulations.

(c) A transferee of all (or a portion) of a Unit will succeed to the Capital Account (or portion of the Capital Account) attributable to the transferred Interest. As of the Effective Date, Member B, as purchaser of the Class C Units, succeeds to 90.5% percent of Member A’s Capital Account, which the Parties have agreed is the portion attributable to the Class C Units.

(a) The net profits and net losses of the Company (“Net Profits” and “Net Losses”) will be the net income or net loss (including capital gains and losses and percentage depletion deductions under Section 613 of the Code), respectively, of the Company determined for each Fiscal Year in accordance with the accounting method followed for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except that in computing Net Profits and Net Losses, all depreciation and cost recovery deductions will be deemed equal to Depreciation and gains or losses will be determined by reference to Book Value rather than tax basis. Whenever a proportionate part of the Net Profits or Net Losses is allocated to a Member, every item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit entering into the computation of such Net Profits or Net Losses or arising from the transactions with respect to which such Net Profits or Net Losses were realized will be credited or charged, as the case may be, to such Member in the same proportion; except that “recapture income,” if any, will be allocated to the Members who were allocated the corresponding Depreciation deductions.

(b) If any Member transfers all or any part of its Interest during any Fiscal Year or its Interest is increased or decreased, Net Profits and Net Losses attributable to that Interest for that Fiscal Year (except as otherwise provided below) will be apportioned between the transferor and transferee or computed as to such Members, as the case may be, in accordance with the method selected by the Members, as long as such apportionment is permissible under the Code and applicable regulations thereunder.

(c) Subject to, and after giving effect to, Section 9.2(f), during each Fiscal Year during the Class A Initial Allocation Period, Net Profits or Net Losses shall be allocated 99% to Member A, as holder of the Class A Units, and 1% to Member B, as holder of the Class B units and the Class C Units.

(d) Subject to, and after giving effect to, Section 9.2(f), during each Fiscal Year after the end of the period described in Section 9.2(c), Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated 95% to Member B, as holder of the Class B Units and Class C Units, and 5% to Member A, as holder of the Class A Units.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 9.2(a), (b), (c) and (d) hereof, if and to the extent the Tax Matters Member determines that an allocation of depreciation, depletion or other item of tax loss or deduction to Member A would cause Member A’s Capital Account to fall below zero (or, if Member A’s Capital Account is less than zero before such allocation, would increase the amount by which Member A’s Capital Account is less than zero), only the portion of such item or items that can be allocated to Member A without causing Member A’s Capital Account to fall below zero (or to increase the amount by which Member A’s Capital Account is less than zero) shall be allocated to Member A. The remainder of any such item or items shall be allocated to Member B.

(i) For federal income tax purposes (but not for purposes of crediting or charging Capital Accounts), depreciation or gain or loss realized by the Company with respect to any property that was contributed to the Company or that was held by the Company at a time when the Book Value of the Company Property was adjusted in accordance with the third sentence of Section 9.1(b) will, in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and Sections 1.704 -1(b)(2)(iv)(d) and (f) of the Treasury Regulations, be allocated among the Members in a manner which takes into account the differences between the adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes to the Company of its interest in such property and the fair market value of such interest at the time of its contribution or revaluation. The Company shall adopt the traditional method with curative allocations as specified in Section 1.704 -3(c) of the Treasury Regulations with respect to allocations governed by Section 704(c) of the Code or such other method selected by the Tax Matters Member; and

(ii) If any Member receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution that causes such Member to have a deficit Capital Account balance as of the liquidation of such Member’s Units (taking into account all capital account adjustments for the Fiscal Year during which such liquidation occurs, other than those adjustment made as a result of this Section 9.2(f)(ii)), such Member shall be unconditionally obligated to restore the amount of such deficit balance to the partnership by the end of such Fiscal Year (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation), which amount shall, upon liquidation of the partnership, be paid to creditors of the partnership or distributed to other partners in accordance with their positive capital balances (in accordance with Article XII). This provision is intended and shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Section 1.704 -1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3) of the Treasury Regulations.

(iii) To the extent and in the manner provided in Section 1.704 -2(f) of the Treasury Regulations, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704 -2(g) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 9.2(f)(iii) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704 -2(f) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv) To the extent and in the manner provided in Section 1.704 -2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations, if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Liability during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Liability shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Liability, determined in accordance with Section 1.704 -2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections l.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704 -2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 9.2(f)(iv) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704 -2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(v) Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to Member A and Member B in accordance with the Members’ interest in Available Cash for such year, except that any Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to debt proceeds distributed to a Member will be allocated to that Member.

(vi) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Liability to which such Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Section 1.704 -2(i)(1) of the Treasury Regulations.

(vii) In connection with the liquidation of the Company in accordance with Article XII, items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction with be allocated to the Members first, to restore any deficit in a Member’s Capital Account and thereafter in accordance with this Article IX.

(g) All Renewable Energy Production Credits generated by the Company, together with any other Tax credits generated by the Company, shall be allocated in the same manner in which Net Profits and Net Losses for such Fiscal Year are allocated pursuant to this Article IX.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.2 to the contrary (other than Section 9.2(f)), in any Fiscal Year all items of gross income of the Company attributable to the receipt of REC Income by the Company shall be allocated, and all Available Cash that results from such REC Income in that Fiscal Year shall be distributed (i) prior to the Effective Date, (A) 30% to Member A and 70% to Member B, up to the amount of REC Income for such Fiscal Year identified on Schedule 8, and (B) 50% to Member A and 50% to Member B with regard to any REC Income which exceeds the applicable schedule amount as set forth on Schedule 8 for any Fiscal Year and with regard to any REC Income earned in a Fiscal Year for which no corresponding amount appears on Schedule 8, and (ii) after the Effective Date, 5% to Member A, as holder of the Class A Units and 95% to Member B, as holder of the Class B Units and the Class C Units, in each case to the extent not subject to Section 10.1(e).

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.2 to the contrary (other than Section 9.2(f)), in any Fiscal Year, all items of gross income of the Company attributable to the receipt of Other Income by the Company shall be allocated, and all Available Cash that results from such Other Income in that Fiscal Year shall be distributed, 5% to Member A, as holder of the Class A Units, and 95% to Member B, as holder of the Class B Units and the Class C Units.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.2 (including Sections 9.2(c) and (d)) to the contrary (other than Section 9.2(f)), for each Taxable Year during which or after which a Member B Capital Contribution is made, Net Profits and Net Losses from sales of electricity will be allocated in the percentages calculated in accordance with Schedule 10; provided that to the extent permissible, REC Income and any items of loss or deduction attributable to a Member Capital Improvement will be specially allocated to Member B.

(k) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.2 to the contrary, the allocations made pursuant to this Article IX are intended to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Parties shall work together to amend this Agreement (including this Article IX and Article X), if necessary, to comply with this Section 9.1(j).

Subject to this Section 10.1(a), the Company will make any such distributions to the Members in accordance with Section 10.1(b), (c), (d) or (e), as applicable. In applying the terms of Sections 10.1(b) and (c), (i) until a particular priority has been satisfied in full, no amounts will be distributable under any junior priority, (ii) the Members identified at each level of priority shall receive distributions at the same time without preference or priority of one Member over another until all Members at that level have received the full amount to which they are entitled and before any distributions are made or paid to any Members for amounts in a lower level of priority and (iii) all amounts distributable under a particular priority will be prorated among the Members in the manner specified within the priority, and the method of proration applied to each dollar distributable in that priority will be the same until that priority is satisfied in full.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2(h), Available Cash with respect to any Fiscal Quarter during the Class B Initial Distribution Period will be distributed on each Distribution Date in accordance with the following order of priorities:

(i) First, in the event that as of any Distribution Date there is a Class A Distribution Deficiency greater than $350,000, 100% to Member A until the Class A Distribution Deficiency is $350,000 or less;

Any amounts withheld by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.3, shall be timely remitted by the Company to the appropriate taxing authority. Any amounts withheld or offset by the Manager in accordance with this Section 10.3 will nevertheless, for purposes of this Agreement, be treated as if they had been distributed to the Member from which they are withheld.

Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was serving as a Manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company or, at the request of the Company, another limited liability company or of a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including a service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such a proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Manager, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Manager, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments fines, excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith, unless such act or failure to act was the result of willful misfeasance, gross negligence or fraud of such indemnitee.

(a) Each Party agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, members, directors, officers, employees and representatives) that, except as may otherwise be agreed by the Party disclosing Confidential Information, the Party receiving Confidential Information will hold in complete confidence, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information and in accordance with safe and sound practices, and not disclose it to any other Person; provided, that the receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information:

(i) to those of its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, counsel, auditors, accountants, examiners, consultants, advisors and sources of financing (collectively, the “Representatives”) who need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of discussing, advising with respect to or evaluating the Project or the Company or an investment in the Project or the Company (it being understood and agreed that the receiving Party shall have advised such persons of their obligations concerning the confidentiality of all client affairs and information and shall instruct such persons to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information);

(viii) as requested or required in connection with a judicial, administrative or regulatory proceeding in which a Party or a partner, officer, member, director, employee or Affiliate thereof is involved, pursuant to a court order or subpoena or regulatory or government inquiry or demand or as otherwise by law or regulation.

In the event that the receiving Party receives a request to disclose any Confidential Information under clause (viii) in the prior sentence, it will (A) promptly notify the disclosing Party thereof (to the extent permitted by law or regulation and reasonably practicable) so that the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or otherwise seek to resist or narrow such request and (B) if the receiving Party is nonetheless required to make such disclosure or if it is advised by its counsel that such disclosure is necessary, it will take reasonable steps, at disclosing Party’s request and expense, to attempt to obtain or help the disclosing Party obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the disclosed information.
