This Section 4.1 and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)

and 1.704-2, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. The Managing Member also shall make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Members and the amount of capital reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q).

4.2 Profits and Losses. For purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts, after making the allocations provided under Section 4.3, all items of Company income, loss, gain, deduction and credit for any Fiscal Year will be allocated among the Members as follows

(a) General Allocations. Except as provided in the following subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 4.2, Profits and Losses, and constituent items of Company income, gain, loss, and deduction thereof, shall be allocated among the Members for each Fiscal Year or part of a Fiscal Year as follows:

(i) For each Fiscal Year of the Company or portion thereof that ends on or before the first full Fiscal Year of the Company, 99% to the Class A Members, pro rata according to their respective Class A Units and 1% to the Class B Members, pro rata according to their respective Class B Units; and

(ii) Subject to Section 4.2(b), for each Fiscal Year of the Company or portion thereof that ends after the first full Fiscal Year of the Company, to the Members as necessary to produce, as nearly as possible, an Adjusted Capital Account balance for each Member immediately following the end of that Fiscal Year, after adjusting their Capital Accounts for the items described in (4), (5) and (6) of Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to equal the amount of hypothetical Available Cash that would be distributed to such Member if (x) each Company Asset were sold immediately after the end of such Fiscal Year or portion thereof for an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Value of the Asset at such time (for the avoidance of doubt without making any adjustment to such Values at such time pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Value” herein), plus (ii) the Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain to which the asset is subject at such time, plus (iii) the amount of the basis adjustments that would be made in respect of the Membership Interests pursuant to Code section 50(c) (to the extent not already taken into account pursuant to the Company Minimum Gain under clause (ii)), (y) the Company immediately paid all its remaining liabilities, and (z) the Company liquidated.

(b) Loss Limitation. Except as provided in the following subsections (c) and (d) of this Section 4.2, if, at the end of any for any Fiscal Year of the Company or portion thereof, the Adjusted Capital Account balance of the Class B Members is less than the remaining amount distributable in the future to the Class B Members under Sections 5.1(a)(i) and (b)(i) because Losses (or items of loss and deduction) for any Fiscal Year of the Company or portion thereof could not be allocated to the Class A Members without causing them to have a deficit in their Adjusted Capital Account balances, and consequently such Losses (or items of loss or deduction) were instead allocated to the Class B Members, then any Profits (and items of income or gain)

that would otherwise be allocated to the Class A Member shall instead be allocated to the Class B Member until the aggregate amount of such Profits (or items of income or gain) so allocated for all periods under this Section 4.2(b) equals the aggregate amount of such Losses (or items of loss or deduction) so allocated to the Class B Member for any Fiscal Years of the Company or portion thereof.

(c) Items in Connection with Liquidation. Except as provided in the following subsections (d) through (e) of this Section 4.2, Profits and Losses and any other items of income, gain, loss or deduction, shall be subject to any special allocation to be made pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(v).

(d) Items in Connection with Class A Member Withdrawal or Class A Member Partial Redemption.

(i) Upon a Class A Member Withdrawal, Company items of income, gain, loss or deduction and credits for the Taxable Year in which the withdrawal occurs (and, if necessary subsequent Taxable Years) shall be specially allocated, first, so as to cause the Capital Account balance of the Class A Members (after adding back the Class A Member’s distributive share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain) to equal the Class A Withdrawal Amount. For the period beginning after the Class A Member Withdrawal and all subsequent Taxable Years, any interest accrued on any Class A Withdrawal Note shall be treated as guaranteed payments under Code section 707(c), any other amounts distributed or paid to the Class A Member as the Class A Withdrawal Amount or principal on the Class A Withdrawal Note shall be treated as payments under Code section 736(b), and any subsequent Company items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated 100% to the Class B Members.

(ii) Upon a Class A Member Partial Redemption, Company items of income or gain that are described in Code sections 702(a)(1) through (7) shall be for the Taxable Year in which the partial withdrawal occurs (and, if necessary subsequent Taxable Years) shall be specially allocated, so as to cause the Adjusted Capital Account balance of the Class A Members to equal at least the Class A Investment Balance in respect of the applicable Company Assets for which the Class B ITC Loss Event occurred. For the period beginning after the Class A Member Partial Redemption and all subsequent Taxable Years, any excess of the Available Cash Flow paid under Section 7.4(d) in respect of the partial redemption of the Class A Interest subject to the Class A Member Partial Redemption over the Adjusted Capital Account balance of the Class A Members in the Class A Interest so redeemed shall be treated as a guaranteed payment under Code section 707(c), any other amounts distributed or paid to the Class A Member shall be treated as a distribution under Code section 731(a) and any subsequent Company items of income, gain, loss and deduction in respect of the applicable Company Assets for which the Class A Member Partial Redemption is made, shall be allocated 100% to the Class B Members.

(e) Allocation of ITC. It is the intention of the Members that both (i) the allocations provided in Sections 4.2(a)(i) constitute, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i), the ratio in which the Members divide the general profits of the Company (that is, the taxable income of the partnership as described in Code Section 702(a)(8)) regardless of whether the Company has a profit or a loss for its Taxable Year during which the ITC Eligible Property is placed in service for federal income tax purposes, (ii) any temporary allocations made pursuant to Section 4.2(b) serve only to restore the original economic profit and loss arrangement, while maintaining the requirement for such allocation to be respected under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3) (iii), and therefore, in the aggregate, any such allocations do not reduce the allocation of the general profits to the Class A Members for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.47-6(a)(2)(i)(b), and (iii) accordingly, the relative shares of the Class A Members and the Class B Members of the basis of ITC Eligible Property for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.47-3(f)(2)(i) is 99% to 1%. Further, it is the intention of the Members that, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.47-6(a)(2)(i)(b), the allocations provided in Sections 4.2(a) through (d) for Fiscal Years or portions thereof beginning after the Class A Flip Point shall not constitute a reduction in the Class A Members’ interest in the general profits of the Company (that is, the taxable income of the Company as described in Code Section 702(a)(8)) below two-thirds of either the Class A Members’ proportionate interest in the general profits of the Company for the Taxable Year in which the ITC Eligible Property was placed in service for federal income tax purposes before the close of the “estimated useful life” of such ITC Eligible Property (treating the “estimated useful life” of the ITC Eligible Property as ending not earlier than the end of the fifth anniversary of its placed in service date for purposes of Code Section 168).

(i) For each Taxable Year for which the Company has a Loss, the Company shall accrue for such Taxable Year, as a guaranteed payment for the use of capital of the Class A Members under Code section 707(c), the amount of the Preferred Distribution to be made to the Class a Members for such Taxable Year.

(ii) For the period beginning after the Class A Member Withdrawal or the Class A Member Partial Redemption and all subsequent Taxable Years, any earnings accrued on any Class A Member Withdrawal Amount or Class A Member Partial Redemption Amount shall be treated as a guaranteed payment of the use of the capital of the Class A Members under Code section 707(c), and any other amounts distributed or paid to the Class A Members as the Class A Member Withdrawal Amount or Class A Member Partial Redemption Amount shall be treated as payments under Code section 736 (b).

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

(a) Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, except as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member shall

be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Chargeback of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, except as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Taxable Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.3(b) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable Year shall be specially allocated to the Members 99.0% to the Class A Members, pro rata according to their respective Class A Units and 1.0% to the Class B Members pro rata according to their respective Class B Units.

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

(g) Section 754 Adjustments. If the Company distributes property to a Member in liquidation of the Membership Interest of the Member and there is an adjustment in the adjusted tax basis of Company property under Section 734(b) of the Code, such that the first sentence of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies, there will be a corresponding adjustment to the Capital Account of the Member receiving the distribution. If the Company distributes cash to a Member in excess of its outside basis in its Membership Interest,

leading to an adjustment in the inside basis of the Company property under Section 734(b) of the Code pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2), then solely for purposes of adjusting Capital Accounts of the Members, the adjustment in the inside basis will be treated as gain or loss and be allocated among the Members in accordance with Section 4.2, as in effect at the time of the adjustment. This provision is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) and (4).

4.4 Curative Allocations. The allocations required under Section 4.3(a) through (e) and (g) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 4.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article IV, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit among the Members such that, to the extent possible, the net amount of allocations of such items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 10.2(a)(v).

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.5, for federal, state and local income tax purposes each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes pursuant to this Article IV.

(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Value (computed in accordance with the definition of Value) using the remedial allocation method permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d).

(c) In the event the Value of any Company Asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of 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 Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, using the remedial allocation method permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d).

(d) Any items of loss or deduction attributable to property contributed by a Member shall to the extent of an amount equal to the excess of (i) the federal income tax basis of such property at the time of its contribution over (ii) the Value of such property at such time, be allocated in its entirety to such contributing Member and the tax basis of such property for purposes of computing the amounts of all items allocated to any other Member (including a transferee of the contributing Member) shall be equal to its Value.

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.5 are solely for federal, state, and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(a) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Managing Member using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(b) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article IV and Section 10.2(a) and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV and Section 10.2(a) in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by law or the IRS.

(c) The Company shall not report any portion of the Facility Debt as “recourse” debt for purposes of Code Section 752 or as Member Nonrecourse Debt allocable to the Class B Member. The Company shall allocate 100% of the “excess” Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) in accordance with how the Base Case Model sets forth that the deductions attributable to such remaining Nonrecourse Liabilities will be allocated among the Members, taking into account the allocations required under Section 4.5 above (provided that such ratio shall be neither greater than 99.0% nor less than 4.95% for the Class A Members in any Fiscal Year).

(d) To the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(h)(3), the Managing Member shall endeavor to treat distributions of Available Cash Flow as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase a negative Adjusted Capital Account (after taking into account the adjustments provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) for any Member.

(e) The Members acknowledge and agree that, for federal and state income tax purposes, the Company shall report (in a manner consistent with the Base Case Model) (i) electrical production as tangible property produced by the Company for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.263A-1(a)(3)(ii), including the required capitalization into the cost of goods sold of cost recovery deductions pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.263A-1(a)(3)(ii)(I), and (ii) that each Power Purchase Agreement is a service contract under Code section 7701(e), and the Company shall prepare the federal income tax returns and its applicable state income tax returns in a manner consistent with such treatment.

(ii) The Class A Withdrawal Amount shall be paid to the Class A Member from 99% of the Available Cash Flow of the Company distributed on each Distribution Date on and after the determination of the Class A Withdrawal Amount until such Class A Withdrawal Amount is paid in full. Any distributions of the Available Cash Flow to the Class A Member between the date the Class A Withdrawal Notice is given and the date the Class A Withdrawal Amount is determined shall be applied toward the Class A Withdrawal Amount.

(iii) To the extent the payments described in Section 7.4(b)(ii) do not fully pay the Class A Withdrawal Amount within 120 days of the date the Class A Withdrawal Amount is determined, the Company shall issue a note payable to the Class A Member in a principal amount equal to that shortfall, having a five (5) year level monthly amortization at the applicable Federal rate under Section 1274(d) of the Code, and otherwise substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “Class A Withdrawal Note”). The Class B Members shall pledge their Class B Interests to secure the Class A Withdrawal Note pursuant to a pledge agreement substantially in the same form as the pledge agreement under the Financing Documents.

(iv) Upon the earlier of the payment in full of the Class A Withdrawal Amount under clause (ii) or the issuance of the Class A Withdrawal Note, the Class A Interest of the withdrawing Class A Member shall be canceled and such Class A Member shall be considered to have voluntarily withdrawn for purposes of Section 18-603 of the Act. All reasonable costs associated with the withdrawal of a Class A Member, including but not limited to, legal, accounting, tax preparation and audit costs, shall be borne by the Class B Member.

(d) If either (i) any Facility is repurchased or reacquired pursuant to Section 2.4, 3.2(d), 3.6(b), 8.3(c), 8.3(d), 9.3 or 9.7 of the MESPA or Section 2.5(c), 2.5(d), 2.18, 4.1(c) or 4.3 of the MOMA, or the Class A Member does not give the written acknowledgement and agreement provided in Section 2.4(c) of the Equity Capital Contribution Agreement in respect of a Facility, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (a “Class A Member Partial Redemption Event”), any Class A Member shall have the right, at any time during the six-month period following such Class A Partial Redemption event, to partially redeem and withdraw voluntarily from the Company, (a “Class A Member Partial Redemption”), upon giving the Company and all other Members prior written notice of an election to withdraw (the “Class A Member Partial Redemption Notice”) during such period. Upon such Class A Member Partial Redemption, the Value of all Assets of the Company shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross Fair Market Values, as determined by the Members pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Value”. Upon delivery of the Class A Member Partial Redemption Notice, the Class A Member will thereafter have the right to receive an amount (payable in United States dollars), in satisfaction of that part of its Class A Interest in Company Assets for which the Class A Partial Redemption Event has occurred, equal to the lesser of (i) the Class A Investment Balance in respect of the applicable Company Assets and (ii) its Adjusted Capital Account balance (the “Class A Member Partial Redemption Amount”). Upon a Class A Member Partial Redemption Event, any and all Available Capital Income Cash Flow and Available PPA Termination Cash Flow shall be retained by the Company and not distributed until the earlier the delivery of the Class A Member Partial Redemption Notice and the end of the six-month period for which that notice may be given. The Class A Member Partial Redemption Amount shall be

paid to the Class A Member from 99% of the Available Cash Flow of the Company distributed on each Distribution Date on and after the determination of such Class A Member Partial Redemption Amount until such amount is paid in full. Upon the payment in full of the Class A Member Partial Redemption Amount, that portion of the Class A Interest of the withdrawing Class A Member in respect of the applicable Company Assets shall be canceled, such Class A Member shall be considered to have voluntarily partially withdrawn for purposes of Section 18-603 of the Act, and such Class A Member shall have no interest in respect of those Company Assets (including any proceeds therefrom). All reasonable costs associated with the partial withdrawal of a Class A Member, including but not limited to, legal, accounting, tax preparation and audit costs, shall be borne by the Class B Member.

7.5 Member Compensation. No Member shall receive any interest, compensation or drawing with respect to its Capital Contributions or its Capital Account or for services rendered on behalf of the Company or otherwise, in its capacity as a Member, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the ASA.

7.6 Other Ventures. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty existing at law or in equity, the Members (including the Managing Member) and their respective Affiliates at any time and from time to time may engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of any and every type and description, including other business ventures competitive with, or of the same type and description as, the Company and the Facility Company, independently or with others.

(a) With respect to each of the Company and the Members, except to the extent necessary for the exercise of its rights and remedies and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Facility Company or the Facility, such Member will not itself use or intentionally disclose (and will not permit the use or disclosure by any of its Affiliates, any of the officers, directors or employees of it or its Affiliates (collectively, “Representatives”), or any of its advisors, counsel and public accountants (collectively, “Advisors”)), directly or indirectly, any of the Facility Documents, this Agreement or other confidential information in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby (“Confidential Information”); provided, that (i) any such Member and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors may use and disclose Confidential Information to such Member’s Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors and to any other Member and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors, (ii) any such Member and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors may use and disclose Confidential Information that (A) has been publicly disclosed or is publicly known (other than by such Member or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or Advisors in breach of this Section 7.7), (B) has come into the possession of such Member or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or Advisors other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (C) has been independently developed by such Member or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or Advisors without use of information obtained under this Agreement, (iii) to the extent that that such disclosure is required by law, a subpoena or any other applicable legal process or by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Member or its Affiliates, such Member may disclose Confidential Information provided that in such case such Member

shall, unless otherwise prohibited by law, (1) give prompt notice to the other Members that such disclosure is or may be required and (2) cooperate in protecting such confidential or proprietary nature of the Confidential Information which must so be disclosed; provided, that no such notification shall be required in respect of any disclosure to bank, insurance or financial industry regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over such Member or its Affiliates, (iv) disclosures to lenders, potential lenders or other Persons providing financing to the Company or to the Facility Company or to their respective representatives and advisors, any Member or any Affiliate of any Member and potential purchasers of equity interests in the Company, any Member or any Affiliate of any Member are permitted if such Persons have agreed to abide by the terms of this Section 7.7 or have otherwise entered into an agreement with restrictions on disclosure substantially similar to the terms of this Section 7.7 (or in the case of advisors, are otherwise bound by professional or legal obligations of confidentiality), (v) any such Member and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors may disclose Confidential Information, and make such filings, as may be required by this Agreement or the Facility Documents, (vi) any Member which is an insurance company or an Affiliate thereof may disclose such information to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and any rating agency requiring access to its portfolio, (vii) the Class B Equity Investor and its Affiliates, Representatives and Advisors may disclose Confidential Information relating to the Facilities (but not Confidential Information relating to any Member) to lenders, potential lenders or other Persons providing financing to any Person developing or proposing to develop the remaining phases of the Facilities and potential purchasers of equity interests in such Person or potential power or renewable energy credits purchasers from such Persons, or to any Person in connection with the operation of the Facilities, and (viii) any such Member may disclose Confidential Information to the United States Department of Treasury, the IRS or any state taxing authority in connection with any communication regarding the tax consequences of the Facilities, Facility Company’s ownership and operation of the Facilities, Company’s ownership of an interest in the Facility Company or such Member’s ownership of an interest in the Company; provided, that such Member shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Class B Equity Investor of such disclosure, furnish a copy of any written material provided to the IRS or any state taxing authority to the Class B Equity Investor and, if practicable, afford the Class B Equity Investor reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed disclosure (but for the avoidance of doubt the Class B Equity Investor will not have the right to consent to such proposed disclosure). A Member’s obligations pursuant to this Article VII shall survive the Transfer of its Units. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Class B Equity Investor and any of its Affiliates (including Affiliates formed subsequent to the date hereof) may use any operational data with respect to the Facilities for the purpose of researching, analyzing, designing, improving, developing, manufacturing, installing, modifying or operating other fuel cell-powered electric generating facilities, whether similar to or different from the Facilities.

(b) The foregoing obligations shall not apply to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and each Member (and any employee, representative, or agent of any Member) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all other materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analysis) that are provided to any Member relating to such tax treatment and tax structure (all such information that may be disclosed being the “Tax Information”). However, any such Tax Information is required to be kept confidential

to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable securities laws. The preceding sentences are intended to cause the transactions contemplated hereby not to be treated as having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Sections 1.6011-4(b)(3) and 301.6111-2(a)(2)(ii) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations issued under the Code and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose. For purposes of this provision, the Tax Information includes only those facts that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and, to eliminate any doubt, therefore specifically does not include information that either reveals or standing alone or in the aggregate with other information so disclosed tends of itself to reveal or allow the recipient of the information to ascertain the identity of any Company, any Member or the Class B Equity Investor (or potential member), or any other third parties involved in any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any other potential transactions with any of the foregoing.

(c) Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 7.7, no Member shall include in a press release or otherwise disclose (other than as required to be included in a filing to any bank, insurance or financial industry regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Member, its affiliates, permitted transferees, any security exchange or the Securities Exchange Commission or as required by Applicable Law) the name of any Member as an equity investor or potential equity investor without the prior written consent of such Member which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) If the Company or any subsidiary thereof is required at any time to make any regulatory filing that identifies by name, or otherwise relates specifically to, any Member or any of its Affiliates or permitted transferees, then the Company shall submit (or the Company shall cause its subsidiary to submit) an advance draft of such regulatory filing to such Member or its Affiliate or permitted transferee, as applicable, and each such Member shall cooperate and shall provide such information as is necessary to complete such filing. Such Member (or its Affiliate or permitted transferee, as applicable) shall have the right to provide comments to such regulatory filing as it relates to such Member (or its Affiliate or permitted transferee), and the Company or its subsidiary shall incorporate or accommodate, prior to submitting such filing, such comments.

(e) If any Member is required at any time to make any regulatory filing (other than a filing to any bank, insurance or financial industry regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Member or its affiliates) that identifies by name, or otherwise relates specifically to, any other Member, then such Member shall submit an advance draft of the relevant portions of such regulatory filing to such other Member. Such other Member shall have the right to provide comments to such regulatory filing as it relates to such other Member, and the Member making such filing shall incorporate or accommodate, prior to submitting such filing, such comments.

8.1 Intent for Income Tax Purposes. The Members intend that the Company be treated as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes and that it be operated in a manner consistent with such treatment, but that the Company not be operated or treated as a “partnership” for any other purpose, including, but not limited to, Section 303 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and the provisions of this Agreement may not be construed to suggest otherwise. The Members intend that the Facility Company be treated as a disregarded entity for federal, state and local tax purposes.

8.2 Books and Records. The Company’s books of account shall be prepared and maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the type of business of the Company. The Managing Member shall cause to be kept, at the principal place of business of the Company, full and proper ledgers and other books of account of all receipts and disbursements and other financial activities of the Company, including the following documents:

8.3 Information and Access Rights. The Members and their respective agents will have the right, at their sole risk and expense and upon reasonable prior notice to the Managing Member, to inspect the Facilities and all relevant books and records relating thereto and make copies thereof. Any such inspection will be conducted during normal business hours and so as not to unreasonably interfere with the business of the Managing Member.

Each Member shall furnish to the Tax Matters Member all pertinent information in its possession relating to the Company’s operations that is reasonably necessary to enable the Company’s tax returns to be timely prepared and filed. The Tax Matters Member shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, the Company’s federal income tax return (including K-1s) (the “Tax Return”) on a basis consistent with this Agreement and the assumptions contained in the Base Case Model, except to the extent such inconsistency is the result of either (x) an ITC Loss Event, or (y) any final determination under a federal income tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding of such a federal income tax return for a prior period making an adjustment to an item of such federal income tax return (provided that such audit or administrative or judicial proceeding is prosecuted by the Company materially in the manner required by this Section 8.7) (a “Consistent Return”). The Tax Matters Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Members, by no later than the 120 days following each Taxable Year, the Tax Return proposed to be filed by the Tax Matters Member. The Tax Matters Member shall furnish to the Members reasonable estimates (broken down by item and character of income, loss,

deduction or credit) prior to the date 75 days after the end of the Taxable Year. In the event that the Tax Matters Member anticipates furnishing to the Members a Tax Return that is not a Consistent Return, the Tax Matters Member shall notify the Members in writing no less than 30 days prior to the date on which it intends to furnish such Tax Return that such Tax Return will not be a Consistent Return, other than inconsistencies solely relating to variances in the anticipated operating results of the Facilities. If a Tax Return is timely objected to by the Class A Members, the Tax Matters Member shall submit such Tax Return, together with copies of all relevant workpapers used in preparation thereof, to a nationally recognized firm (other than the Certified Public Accountant) of independent public accountants or, if related to a legal matter, a law firm, in each case, selected by the Class A Member. The determination of such independent expert, and the Tax Return as completed by such expert, shall be final and binding on the Members, and the Tax Matters Member shall cause such final Tax Return to be filed. The Company shall bear the costs of the preparation and filing of its returns, including the fees of the independent expert. In no event shall any Tax Return be filed later than August 1^st.

(d) The provisions of this Article VIII will survive the termination of the Company or the termination of any Member’s interest in the Company and will remain binding on the Member for the period of time necessary to resolve with the IRS or other federal tax agency any and all federal income tax matters relating to the Company that are subject to Code Sections 6221 through 6233.

8.12 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants herein shall be continuing agreements of the Members that made them and shall continue until the termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall it be a breach of the Managing Member’s obligations pursuant to this Article VIII to deliver any report, financial statement or Tax Return within the specified timeframes to the extent any failure to comply with such obligations is attributable to either the failure of any Member to grant or object to any consent required pursuant to the terms hereof necessary to enable the Managing Member to comply with such obligations.

(a) General Restriction. A Member may not Transfer or create or allow an Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance of the type described in clause (n) of such term’s definition) on all or any portion of its Membership Interest, except in strict accordance with this Section 9.1. References in this Agreement to Transfers or Encumbrances of a “Membership Interest” shall also refer to Transfers or Encumbrances of a portion of a Membership Interest. Any attempted Transfer or Encumbrance of any Membership Interest, other than in strict accordance with this Section 9.1, shall be, and is hereby declared, null and void ab initio. The Members agree that a breach of the provisions of this Section 9.1 may cause irreparable injury to the Company and to the other Members for which monetary damages (or other remedy at law) are inadequate in view of (i) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of a Member to comply with

such provision and (ii) the uniqueness of the Company’s business and the relationship among the Members. Accordingly, the Members agree that the provisions of this Section 9.1 may be enforced by specific performance.

(i) General Provision. A Member may not Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest except by complying with all of the following requirements:

(1) No Transfer by the Class B Member may be made at any time without the prior written consent of the Class A Members (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) prior to the date the last Class B Member True Up Date Contribution has been made. Any Transfer by the Class B Member shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.1(d), and may not be made to any Disqualified Transferee.

(2) No Transfer by the Class A Member may be made at any time prior to the occurrence of the Class A Flip Point without the prior written consent of the Class B Member (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Any Transfer by the Class A Member shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.1(d), and may not be made to a Disqualified Transferee.

(B) Compliance with Requirements. Any such Transfer must comply with the requirements of Section 9.1(b)(iii) and, if the Transferee is to be admitted as a Member, Section 9.1(b)(ii).

(1) the provisions of Sections 9.1(b)(iii)(C)(1), 9.1(b)(iii)(F) or 9.1(b)(iv) shall not apply in connection with Transfer by Members holding Class A Interests at any time following December 31, 2018 where the sum of all distributions under Section 5.1 to all Class A Members is less than the sum of all Capital Contributions made to the Company by the Class B Member, and

(2) the provisions of Section 9.1(d) shall apply with respect to any transfer after the Class A Flip Point if (y) the Class B Members have not exercised the Purchase Option pursuant to Section 9.3 or (z) the Class A Member has not exercised its voluntary withdrawal right pursuant to Section 7.4.

(ii) Admission of Transferee as a Member. A Transferee has the right to be admitted to the Company as a Member, with the Membership Interest so transferred to such Transferee, only if (A) the Transferring Member making the Transfer has granted the Transferee the Transferring Member’s entire Membership Interest, or, in the case of Transfer of a part of such Member’s Membership Interest, the express right to be so admitted; and (B) such Transfer is effected in strict compliance with this Section 9.1. Any Transferee that has acquired all of the Class B Units then held by the Class B Equity Investor in compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.1 shall become the replacement Managing Member.

(iii) Requirements Applicable to All Transfer and Admissions. In addition to the requirements set forth in Sections 9.1(b)(i) and 9.1(b)(ii), any Transfer of a Membership Interest and any admission of a Transferee as a Member shall also be subject to the following requirements, and such Transfer (and admission, if applicable) shall not be effective unless such requirements are complied with:

(A) Transfer Documents. The following documents must be delivered to the Managing Member and each other Member, and must be reasonably satisfactory, in form and substance, to the Managing Member:

(1) Notice. Written notice not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Transfer.

(2) Entity Classification. Such Transfer will not cause the Company to be classified as an entity other than a partnership (or cause the Company to be treated as a publicly traded partnership) for purposes of the Code.

(3) Tax Disqualified Person. If such Transfer is of, or in respect of, Class B Units prior to the Class A Flip Point, such Transfer is not to a Disqualified Person.

(4) Related Person. If such Transfer is of, or in respect of, Class B Units, such Transfer will not result in either (1) the Class B Member being a “related person” with respect to any lender under the Financing Documents for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-4(b), or (2) prior to the Class A Flip Point, the Company being a “related person” to any purchaser under any power purchase agreement for power delivered from a Facility for purposes of Sections 267 or 707 of the Code.

(5) Opinion Requirement. The Transferring Member or the Transferee delivers to the Company not later than eight (8) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Transfer, a written opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the other Members that such Transfer will not cause any of (1) an ITC Loss Event (including, without limitation, from the Class B Member being a “related person” with respect to any lender under the Financing Documents for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-4(b)), (2) the Company to be classified as an entity other than a partnership (or cause the Company to be treated as a publicly traded partnership) for purposes of the Code or (3) prior to the Class A Flip Point, the Company being a “related person” to

any purchaser under any power purchase agreement for power delivered from a Facility for purposes of Sections 267 or 707 of the Code.

For purposes of this Section 9.1(b)(iii)(C), any direct or indirect Transfer of an interest in a Member which would cause any event described in Section 9.1(b)(iii)(C) to occur with respect to a Membership Interest of that Member shall be treated as a Transfer by that Member of its Membership Interest.

(D) Payment of Expenses. The Transferring Member and its Transferee shall pay, or reimburse the Company and each other Member for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company and such other Members in connection with the Transfer and admission, on or before the tenth day after the receipt by that Person of the Company’s or such other Member’s invoice for the amount due.

(E) No Release. No Transfer of a Membership Interest shall effect a release of the Transferring Member from any liabilities to the Company or the other Members arising from events occurring prior to or in connection with the Transfer.

(F) Consents and Permits. All permits, consents, approvals and licenses with respect to such Transfer shall have been obtained (including any approval by FERC that the Company, the Facility Company or any party to a Transfer requires).

(G) Investment Company Act. Such Transfer does not require the Company to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(iv) Change of Member Control. A Change of Member Control must also comply with the requirements of this Section 9.1 (other than Section 9.1(b)(iii)(A)(2), Section 9.1(b)(iii)(A)(3), Section 9.1(b)(iii)(F) or Section 9.1(d)), for a Transfer of such Member’s interest at such time; provided, however, that this Section 9.1(b)(iv) shall not apply to a Transfer pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(v).

(A) Regulatory Compliance Cooperation. In the event that a Class A Member reasonably determines that it has a Regulatory Problem, the Company and the Managing Member agree at the sole cost and expense of such Class A Member to take all such actions as are reasonably requested by such Class A Member in order (I) to effectuate and facilitate any transfer by such Class A Member of any Securities in the Company then held by such Class A Member to any Person designated by such

Class A Member, as applicable; provided, that Section 9.1(b)(iii) shall be complied with, (II) to permit such Class A Member (or any of its respective Affiliates) to exchange all or any portion of the voting Securities then held by such Person on a share-for-share basis for shares of a class of non-voting Securities of the Company, which non-voting Securities shall be identical in all respects to such voting Securities, except that such new Securities shall be non-voting and shall be convertible on such terms as are requested by such Class A Member into voting Securities and reasonably acceptable to the Company in light of regulatory considerations then prevailing, and (III) to continue and preserve the respective allocation of the voting interests with respect to the Company arising out of such Class A Member’s ownership of voting Securities before the transfers and amendments referred to above (including entering into such additional agreements as are reasonably requested by such Class A Member to permit any Person(s) designated by such Class A Member to exercise any voting power which is relinquished by such Class A Member upon any exchange of voting Securities for nonvoting Securities of the Company); and at the sole cost and expense of such Class A Member, the Company shall enter into such additional agreements, adopt such amendments to this Agreement and other relevant agreements and take such additional actions, in each case as are reasonably requested by such Class A Member in order to effectuate the intent of the foregoing; provided, that any such additional agreements, amendments to this Agreement or other relevant agreements, or other actions shall not have an adverse impact on the Company or any other Member. If a Class A Member is, or elects to transfer Securities of the Company in order to avoid a Regulatory Problem to, a Regulated Holder, the Company and each of the Members agree at the request of such Class A Member that the provisions of this Section 9.1(b)(v) shall be applicable to such Regulated Holder in order to assist such Regulated Holder in complying with Applicable Laws and regulations to which it is subject. In the event a Class A Member has the right to acquire any of the Company’s Securities from the Company or any other Person (as the result of a preemptive offer, pro rata offer or otherwise), and such Class A Member reasonably determines that it has a Regulatory Problem, at such Class A Member’s request, the Company, at the sole cost and expense of such Class A Member, will offer to sell to such Class A Member non-voting Securities (or, if the Company is not the proposed seller, will arrange for the exchange of any voting securities for non-voting securities immediately prior to or simultaneous with such sale) on the same terms as would have existed had such Class A Member acquired the Securities so offered and immediately requested their exchange for non-voting Securities as provided above.

(1) The Company shall provide at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to a Class A Member of a proposal to distribute voting or equity securities to any Member or to repurchase voting or equity securities from any Member.

(2) If, in connection with a Regulatory Problem, at any time as a result of any repurchase, redemption or conversion of Company Securities or otherwise, a Class A Member shall hold in excess of 4.99% of any class of voting Securities of the Company, the portion of such Class A Member’s Securities of each such class of Securities entitling such Class A Member to in excess of 4.99% of the voting power of such class shall, without further action on the part of the Class A Member or the Company, be deemed to be non-voting Securities.

(c) Encumbrances of Membership Interest. A Member may encumber its Membership Interest if the instrument creating such Encumbrance provides that any Transfer upon foreclosure of such Encumbrance (or Transfer in lieu of such foreclosure) must comply with the requirements of Sections 9.1(b)(i) and 9.1(b)(iii). Any such Encumbrance, and any Transfer upon foreclosure of such Encumbrance (or Transfer in lieu of such foreclosure) that complies with such requirements shall be a Permitted Encumbrance and a permitted transfer pursuant to this Section 9.1.

(d) Right of First Bid. This Section 9.1(d) shall apply to any proposed voluntary Transfer of Membership Interests for cash or other tangible consideration under the conditions specified in Section 9.1(b)(i)(A). The Member proposing to make such a Transfer shall provide written notice of its intention to make a Transfer (a “Transfer Notice”) to the remaining Members holding Membership Interests of the same class as those Membership Interests intended to be Transferred or, in the case of a Transfer of Class A Interests after the Class A Flip Point, to all remaining Members. Upon receipt of a Transfer Notice, the Members entitled to receive the Transfer Notice shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days to submit to the Transferring Member an unconditional offer to purchase, at the price and on the terms set forth in the notice of such offer (a “Bid”), all, but not less than all, of such Membership Interests in such proportions as the offering Members may agree, or, if they cannot agree, on a pro rata basis. Upon receipt of a proper Bid, the Member intending to Transfer its Membership Interests may, in its sole discretion, accept such Bid by notice to the offering Members within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Bid, whereupon the offering Members shall purchase such Membership Interests within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the acceptance of the Bid (or, in any event if later, the fifth Business Day after the receipt of all applicable regulatory and governmental approvals of the purchase). If the Member intending to Transfer its Membership Interests does not accept the Bid, such Member shall (i) so notify each Member who has submitted a Bid, and (ii) have the right for a period of one hundred and eighty days thereafter (or, in any event, if later, the fifth (5th) Business Day after the receipt of all applicable regulatory and governmental approvals of the purchase) to Transfer such Membership Interests at a price which is higher than the price set forth in the Bid and upon terms no less favorable in any material respect to such Member than the terms contained in the Bid; provided, that such Transfer shall be subject to any other applicable provisions of this Section 9.1.

9.2 Buyout Option. This Section 9.2 shall apply to any of the following events (each a “Buyout Event”):

(iii) there occurs an event (other than a Regulatory Problem resolved pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(v)) that makes it unlawful for the Member to continue to be a Member to the extent such event can reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on any of the other Members or the Company (including, without limitation, dissolution of the Company).

(b) In each case, the Member with respect to whom a Buyout Event has occurred is referred to herein as the “Affected Member”.

(c) If a Buyout Event occurs, then each of the other Members shall have the option to acquire the Membership Interest of the Affected Member (or to cause it to be acquired by a third party designated by the other Members) on an “as is, where is” basis without representations or warranties (other than ownership of the Membership Interests by the Affected Member, that no Encumbrance exists against the Membership Interests of the Affected Member other than those created pursuant to this Agreement and that the sale of such Membership Interests do not require any governmental approvals that have not been obtained or create any conflict with the Affected Member’s organizational documents), expressed or implied (and with the Members exercising such preferential right also being referred to herein as “Purchasing Members”) upon giving the Company and all other Members 60 days’ written notice of an election to exercise its buyout rights pursuant to this Section 9.2 (a “Buyout Exercise Notice”) during such period.

(d) The purchase price (the “Buyout Price”) for a Membership Interest being purchased pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be the Fair Market Value of such Membership Interest as to which a Buyout Event has occurred, as determined under the Appraisal Procedure.

(e) If an option to purchase is exercised in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 9.2, the closing of such purchase shall occur on the 60th day after the delivery of the Buyout Exercise Notice (or in any event, if later, the 30th day after the determination of the Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 9.2(d), or the fifth Business Day after the receipt of all applicable regulatory and governmental approvals to the purchase) and shall comply in all material respects with the requirements set forth in Section 9.1(b)(iii). Unless otherwise agreed among the Members, the Buyout Price shall be paid in cash at such closing.

(f) Upon the occurrence of a closing under Section 9.2(e), the following provisions shall apply to the Affected Member (at, and following, such time, a “Terminated Member”):

(i) The Terminated Member shall cease to be a Member immediately upon the occurrence of the closing.

(ii) The Terminated Member shall no longer be entitled to receive any distributions (including liquidating distributions) or allocations from the Company, and it shall not be entitled to exercise any voting or consent rights or to receive any further information (or access to information) from the Company (other than any required tax information).

(iii) The Terminated Member must pay to the Company, immediately upon the occurrence of the closing, all amounts owed to the Company by such Terminated Member.

(iv) The Terminated Member shall remain obligated for all liabilities it may have under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Company that accrue prior to the closing.

(v) The Membership Interest, including the Capital Account balance attributable thereto, of the Terminated Member shall be allocated among the Purchasing Members in the proportion of the total Buyout Price paid by each Purchasing Member.

(a) The Class A Members grant and convey to the Class B Member the exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase, for a period of six months after each of (i) the Class A Flip Point and (ii) the fifth anniversary of the Class A Flip Point, all (but not less than all) of the Class A Units for the Purchase Price upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Purchase Option”).

(b) To exercise the Purchase Option, the Class B Member must deliver written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) of the exercise of the Purchase Option to the Managing Member and the Class A Members, specifying the effective date of the purchase (the “Purchase Option Date”), which such Purchase Option Date shall not be earlier than 120 days after the date of such Exercise Notice. Once the Exercise Notice has been issued, the Purchase Option shall be irrevocable.

(c) Subject to the receipt of any necessary approvals from any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, the approval, if any, required under the HSR Act, the Class A Members shall convey all of the Class A Units to the Class B Member (or its designee) on an “as is, where is” basis without representations or warranties (other than ownership of the Class A Units by the Class A Members, that no Encumbrance exists against the Class A Units other than those created pursuant to this Agreement and that the sale of such Class A Units do not require any governmental approvals that have not been obtained or create any conflict with the Class A Members organizational documents), expressed or implied. At the closing of the conveyance, (i) the Class B Member shall expressly assume any and all liability of the Class A Members under this Agreement (other than any liability arising out of a breach of this Agreement by the Class A Member prior to such conveyance), (ii) the Class A Member shall expressly release the Company, the Facility Company, the Class B Member, the Managing Member and their respective Affiliates from any liability as a result of the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement and (iii) the Members shall amend this Agreement to reflect the withdrawal of the Class A Members and the transfer of the Class A Units effective as of the Purchase Option Date. The Purchase Price of the Class A Units shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the closing of Purchase Option. The Class A Members shall allocate the Purchase Price among themselves, pro rata, based upon their relative Class A Interests. All reasonable costs associated with the purchase by a Class B Member, including but not limited to, legal, accounting, tax preparation and audit costs, shall be borne by the Class B Member.

(a) The Company will dissolve and its business and affairs will be wound up on the first to occur of the following (the “Liquidating Events”):

(ii) Any other event upon the occurrence of which dissolution is required by the Act (which the Act does not allow to be waived by agreement of the Members), unless, to the extent permitted by the Act, Members (other than the Member with respect to which such event occurs) unanimously elect in writing, within 90 days of the date such event described in this Section 10.1(a)(ii) occurs, to continue the business of the Company, in which case the Company will not dissolve;

(v) December 31, 2071, unless such date is extended by the mutual agreement of the Members.

(b) Each Member agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, it will not dissolve itself or the Company or withdraw from the Company except as set forth in Section 10.1(a).

(a) On dissolution of the Company, the Managing Member shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more other Persons as liquidator. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided in this Agreement. The costs of liquidation will be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company with all of the power and authority of the Managing Member. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by the Certified Public Accountants of the Company’s and the Facility Company’s Assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

(ii) The liquidator shall pay from Company funds (x) all of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the Facility Company or otherwise make adequate provision for them (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine), and (y) the amount of all accrued, unpaid Preferred Distributions, and the unpaid amount of any Class A Withdrawal Amount or Class A Member Partial Redemption Amount (including any balance of any Class A Withdrawal Note);

(A) the liquidator shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best possible price and may sell any or all of the Company’s, and the Facility Company’s Assets (subject to any and all restrictions to which the Company or the Facility Company is subject, including restrictions under Applicable Laws or any Permitted Encumbrances), including to the Members at such price, but in no event lower than the Fair Market Value thereof; and

(B) with respect to all of the Company’s or the Facility Company’s Assets that have not been sold, the Values of such Assets shall be determined pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Value;

(iv) After giving effect to all distributions (including those under Section 5.1) and all Capital Contributions (including those under Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3, and Section 10.3) for all periods, but subject to Section 10.2(a)(v), all remaining cash and property (including any Available Cash Flow and liquidation proceeds) shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

(A) First, any Available Cash Flow that does not consist of Available Capital Income Cash Flow shall be distributed in the order and priority set forth in Section 5.1(a)(i) and (ii), and then as set forth in Section 5.1(b)(iii); and

(B) Second, any Available Capital Income Cash Flow shall be distributed (I) first to the Class A Members in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the sum of all Preferred Distributions shown as made

or paid to the Class A Members in the Base Case Model (including those provided for after the date of liquidation), minus (2) all Preferred Distributions actually made or paid to the Class A Members under Section 5.1 or Section 10.2(a)(ii); (II) second, in an amount equal to any Class A Investment Balance that has not been paid in full to the Class A Member; and (III) thereafter, in the order and priority set forth in Section 5.1(a)(i) and (ii), and then as set forth in Section 5.1(b)(iii).

(v) It is intended that the distributions provided in Section 10.2(a)(iv) will be in accordance with the positive balances (if any) in the final Capital Account balances of the Members, after giving effect to all distributions (including those under Section 5.1) and all Capital Contributions (including those under Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3 and Section 10.3) and any allocations to be made under this Section 10.2(a)(v). however, if such distributions would not result in such intention being satisfied, constituent items of income, gain, loss and deduction under Code section 702(a)(1) through (7) will be reallocated among the Members for the year of the liquidation, to the extent permissible under Code section 704(b) (and, if necessary and permissible under Code section 704(b), for prior Company taxable years for which the deadline (determined without extensions) for filing the Company’s federal income tax return has not passed), so as to cause the Capital Account balances to be in the amounts necessary to assure that such result is achieved. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will any Member be distributed an amount in excess of its positive balance in its Capital Account.

(vi) Any distribution to the Members in respect of their Capital Accounts pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be made by the end of the Company Taxable Year in which a Liquidating Event occurs (or if later, within 90 days after the date of such Liquidating Event).

(b) The distribution of cash or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member on account of its Membership Interest and all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented pursuant to Section 18-502(b) of the Act.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 10.3, no Member shall be obligated to contribute cash to restore a deficit in its Capital Account.

(b) Each Class A Member shall have the right by written notice to the Company to elect to undertake an obligation, in the event there is a “liquidation” of a Class A Member’s interest in the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), after giving effect to all allocations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such Class A Member’s share of any Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain), all distributions and all Capital Contributions for all periods, and that

Class A Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account, to contribute to the Company cash in an amount equal to such deficit balance or a limited amount of such deficit balance, as provided by the Class A Member in such notice, by the end of the Taxable Year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs, or if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after such point in time at which the absolute value of a Class A Member’s deficit Capital Account is less than the maximum amount of its deficit restoration obligation, the obligation of such Class A Member to restore that deficit Capital Account shall be adjusted downward (but not increased) at the end of each Taxable Year to an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the dollar amount set forth in the latest of any notice given by such Class A Member, or (B) the absolute value of the deficit (if any) in such Class A Member’s Capital Account at the end of such Taxable Year. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate any Class A Member to issue such a notice. Any such notice given by a Class A Member pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute a duly adopted amendment to this Agreement without any further action by any party.

10.4 Termination. On completion of the satisfaction of liabilities and distribution of Assets as provided in this Agreement, the Managing Member (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall cause the cancellation of the Delaware Certificate and any filings made as provided in Section 2.1 and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

11.1 Indemnification of Class A Investor Group by the Class B Member. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XI, the Class B Member hereby indemnifies, defends, reimburses and holds harmless each Class A Equity Investor and its respective parent or subsidiary companies, partners and other Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, contractors and agents (collectively, the “Class A Investor Group”), from and against any and all Damages asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by the Class A Investor Group, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from (a) any breach by Guarantor, the Class B Member (whether in its capacity as the Class B Member, the Managing Member, the Tax Matters Member or otherwise), the Company or the Administrator or their Affiliates of their respective representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, any other Investment Document or the ASA or (b) any Environmental Claim arising from any pre-closing environmental contamination (collectively, “Class A Investor Claims”). To the extent that any such Damages relating to a Class A Investor Claim remain unpaid after such claim has been made therefor pursuant to this Article XI, any distributions otherwise payable to the Class B Member under this Agreement shall be used to satisfy the obligations of Guarantor, the Class B Member, the Company or their Affiliates, as applicable, hereunder in accordance with Section 5.4.

11.2 Brokers. The Class B Equity Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Class A Investor Group from and against any and all claims, obligations, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have been made by, or on behalf of, the Company or the Administrator or their Affiliates with any broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby.

11.3 Limitation on Liability. The indemnification obligations of the parties hereto pursuant to this Article XI shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The amount of Damages required to be paid by any party to indemnify any other party pursuant to this Article XI as a result of any Class A Investor Claim shall be reduced to the extent of any amounts actually received by such other party after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the insurance policies (if any) obtained and maintained by the Company, the Facility Company or the Class A Equity Investor or any Affiliate thereof covering such claim. In the event an indemnified party or any of its Affiliates receives insurance proceeds with respect to a Class A Investor Claim for which it previously received indemnification payments, such indemnified party shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party such insurance proceeds to the extent such proceeds and the previously paid indemnification payments, in the aggregate, exceed the amount of the applicable Class A Investor Claim.

(b) Damages paid pursuant to this Article XI shall be grossed-up and paid on an after-tax basis (assuming the highest marginal federal income tax rate then applicable to corporations and a 3.0% state and local income tax rate). In the event an indemnified party is entitled to claim an item of loss or deduction, credit or other tax benefit with respect to the event that gives rise to the receipt of an indemnity payment, such tax benefit shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of Damages and the related indemnification payment and, to the extent payment has been made to an indemnified party prior to the period in which such tax benefit was claimed, the indemnified party shall promptly repay the indemnifying party an amount equal to the present value of such loss or deduction, credit or other tax benefit (in each case, assuming the highest marginal federal income tax rate then applicable to corporations and a 3.0% state and local income tax rate); provided that any such refund shall not exceed the original amount paid.

(c) The indemnification obligations of the parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited to actual Damages and shall not include special, incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, or exemplary Damages (including lost profits and damages for a lost opportunity); provided, that any incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, or exemplary Damages recovered by a third party (including Governmental Entities) against a Person entitled to indemnity pursuant to this Article XI shall be included in the Damages recoverable under such indemnity; and provided, further, that no ITC Loss Tax Event Liability shall be considered as special, incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive or exemplary damages and shall be included in the Damages recoverable under this indemnity.

(d) No member of the Class A Investor Group may receive compensation for Damages suffered by such Person to the extent that such Damages are attributable to (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or (b) the breach of any representation or warranty by such Person in this Agreement or any other Investment Document to the extent such representation or warranty was false when made.

11.4 Procedure for Indemnification. After receipt by an indemnified party under Section 11.1, Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party with respect to such action; provided that, to the extent that any such failure to provide prompt notice is responsible for an increase in the indemnity obligations of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any such increase. In case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party and it shall give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. If the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of such action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own expense and to participate in the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party elects not to assume (or fails to assume) the defense of such action, the indemnified party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such action with counsel of its own choice, at the expense of the indemnifying party. If the action is asserted against both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and (i) there is a conflict of interests which renders it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or (ii) such action could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of criminal liability, the indemnifying party shall be responsible for paying for separate counsel for the indemnified party; provided, however, that if there is more than one indemnified party and it is practical for all such parties to be represented by common counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for paying for more than one separate firm of attorneys to represent the indemnified parties, regardless of the number of indemnified parties. If the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of such action, (a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party and (b) the indemnifying party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the indemnifying party has failed to defend such indemnified party against such action.

11.5 Exclusivity. Subject to Section 5.4, and without in any way limiting the Guaranty, the parties hereto agree that, in relation to any breach, default, or nonperformance of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement made or entered into by Guarantor, the Class B Member (whether in its capacity as the Class B Member, the Managing Member, the Tax Matters Member or otherwise) hereby agrees that pursuant to this Agreement, any other Investment Document, the ASA or any certificate, instrument, or document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or arising out of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, the only relief and remedy available to the other parties hereto in respect of said breach, default, or nonperformance shall be Damages, but only to the extent properly claimable hereunder and as limited pursuant to this Article XI or otherwise hereunder.

11.6 No Right of Contribution. After the Effective Date, the Company shall have no liability to indemnify the Class B Equity Investor on account of the breach of any representation or warranty or the nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement of the Company; and the Class B Equity Investor shall not have any right of contribution against the Company.

11.7 Entire Agreement. Subject to the Guaranty, Article XI of this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to indemnification hereunder.

12.1 Offset. Whenever the Company (or another Person on behalf of the Company) is to pay or distribute any sum to any Member, any amounts then owed by such Member or its Affiliate to the Company (as determined in writing to the satisfaction of the other Members) shall be deducted from such sum before payment.

12.2 Notices. All notices, consents, demands, requests or other communications which may be or are required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall (a) be sent by overnight courier, facsimile or United States mail, addressed to the recipient, postage paid, and registered or certified, return receipt requested, or delivered to the recipient in person and (b) be sent or delivered at the addresses set forth in the Equity Capital Contribution Agreement or such other address as a Member may specify by notice to the Company and the other Members. Any notice, request or consent to the Company must be given to the Managing Member. Notices, consents, demands, requests and other communications shall be deemed effective or served on the date of receipt at the address of the Person to receive it.

12.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each bearing the signatures of one or more Members. Each such counterpart shall be considered an original and all of such counterparts shall constitute a single agreement binding all the parties as if all had signed a single document. Facsimile signatures shall be accepted as original signatures for purposes of this Agreement.

12.4 Governing Law and Severability. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED MADE AND PREPARED AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF WHICH MAY REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. If any provision of this Agreement shall be contrary to any other Applicable Law, at the present time or in the future, such provision shall be deemed null and void, but this shall not affect the legality of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be deemed to be modified and amended so as to be in compliance with Applicable Law and this Agreement shall then be construed in such a way as will best serve the intention of the parties at the time of the execution of this Agreement.

12.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any Schedules and Exhibits, together with the other Investment Documents, constitutes the entire agreement among the Members regarding the terms and operations of the Company, except as amended in writing pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, statements, understandings and representations of the parties.

12.6 Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations under this Agreement, or any Investment Document is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement, or any Investment Document. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to its obligations under this Agreement, or any Investment Document, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has run.

12.7 Amendment or Modification. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by a written instrument executed by all Members. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for so long as any indebtedness or Obligations remain outstanding under the Financing Documents, each Member hereby acknowledges that the consent of certain parties to the Financing Documents, such as the Facility Lenders, may be required in connection with the Facility Company taking certain actions. Any such consent shall be obtained in writing from the Facility Lenders and any other required parties to the Financing Documents as and when required pursuant to the terms of the Financing Documents.

12.8 Binding Effect. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Members and their respective legal representatives, permitted successors and permitted assigns.

12.9 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those transactions contemplated here, including all filing, recording, publishing and other acts appropriate to comply with all requirements for the operation of a limited liability company under the laws of all jurisdictions where the Company shall conduct business.

12.10 Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of any federal court located in the Southern District of New York in connection with any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; agrees to waive any objection to venue in the State and County of New York; and agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, service of process in connection with any such proceeding may be effected by mailing in the same manner provided in Section 11.2 hereof.

12.11 Limitation on Liability. NO CLAIMS SHALL BE MADE BY ANY PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (WHETHER OR NOT THE CLAIM THEREFORE IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, DUTY IMPOSED BY LAW OR OTHERWISE), IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER INVESTMENT DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE UPON ANY SUCH CLAIM FOR ANY SUCH SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT AT ANY TIME (a) IF AN ITC IS RECAPTURED FROM THE FACILITY COMPANY BECAUSE THE CLASS B MEMBER OR ITS AFFILIATE, OR ANY FACILITY ENTITY BREACHES ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT, THE VALUE OF THE ITC THAT IS RECAPTURED SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND (b) IF AN ITC IS RECAPTURED FROM THE FACILITY COMPANY BECAUSE THE INVESTOR OR ITS AFFILIATE BREACHES ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT, THE VALUE OF THE ITC THAT IS RECAPTURED SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; AND PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, THAT AFTER THE CLASS A MEMBER SHALL HAVE ACTUALLY FUNDED ITS INVESTOR FUNDING DATE CONTRIBUTION IN RESPECT OF THE FACILITY COMPANY, IF AN ITC IS RECAPTURED FROM THE FACILITY COMPANY BECAUSE CLASS B MEMBER OR ITS AFFILIATE, OR THE FACILITY COMPANY BREACHES ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT, OR A FINAL DETERMINATION IS MADE FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES THAT THE ITC AMOUNT CLAIMED WAS IN EXCESS OF THAT WHICH WAS APPROPRIATE AND CORRECT, ANY FEDERAL TAX DETRIMENT SUFFERED AS RESULT OF SUCH RECAPTURE SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; AND PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, THAT AFTER THE CLASS A MEMBER SHALL HAVE ACTUALLY FUNDED ITS INVESTOR FUNDING DATE CONTRIBUTION IN RESPECT OF THE FACILITY COMPANY, IF ITC AMOUNT CLAIMED IS DETERMINED FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES TO BE IN EXCESS OF THAT WHICH IS APPROPRIATE, ANY FEDERAL TAX DETRIMENT SUFFERED AS RESULT OF SUCH DETERMINATION, SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES ONLY AND NO RECOURSE SHALL BE AVAILABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, MANAGER, MEMBER, PARTNER, OR AFFILIATE OF ANY PARTY.
