DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


Except as otherwise provided herein, the Managing Member shall not hold out or represent to any third party that any other Member has any such power or right or that any Member is anything other than a member in the Company.

Any other provision of the Agreement notwithstanding, the Members hereby approve the use of the Tariff Indemnity Distributions and the ITC Indemnity Distribution as collateral for the indemnity obligations of Bloom under Section 7.1(c) and Section 7.1(d) of the New ECCA. The Members further agree that all fees and other costs associated with the posting and renewal of the Tariff Indemnity Letter(s) of Credit and the ITC Letter of Credit shall be borne by the Class A Member alone.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable Member Party to be indemnified and exculpated is Clean Technologies, it shall not be entitled to such indemnification and exculpation if the losses arise from a CT Indemnifiable Claim. Except as otherwise required by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be the debts, obligations and liabilities solely of the Company, and the Members of the Company shall not be obligated personally for any of such debts, obligations or liabilities solely by reason of being a Member of the Company.
(a)    Each of the Members shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any other Person who is a Member, the Administrator or any officer or employee of the Company, or by any other individual as to matters that such Member reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses of the Company or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Members might properly be paid.
(b)    To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Member, in its capacity as a member or manager of the Company or otherwise, has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any Member or other Person bound by this Agreement, such Member, acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member or other Person bound by this Agreement for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement; provided that this Section 3.6(c) shall not be construed to limit

8
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


obligations or liabilities therefor, in each case as expressly stated in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Member, in its capacity as a member or manager of the Company, otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Member.
(c)    Clean Technologies, in its capacity as Managing Member, shall not have any liability for breach of contract (except as provided in (i) and (ii) below) or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties) of a member or manager to the Company or to any Member or other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act; provided that (i) this Agreement shall not limit or eliminate liability for any (x) obligations expressly imposed on Clean Technologies, as Managing Member, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including to indemnify Mehetia (y) act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing or (z) act or omission arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of Clean Technologies and (ii) this Section 3.6(d) shall not limit or eliminate liabilities expressly stated in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(d)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1 of the ECCA or Section 9.12 hereof with respect to liability resulting from fraud or willful misconduct, or with respect to its failure to pay any amount due to Investor Indemnified Parties under the Transaction Documents, or with respect to a Third Party Claim for breach of any Transaction Document or for damages resulting from a CT Indemnifiable Claim, Clean Technologies, in its capacity as Managing Member, shall have no liability of any kind to the Members under this Agreement for monetary damages in an amount that would exceed its aggregate obligation to indemnify the Investor Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.12.
(e)    Except as otherwise provided herein with respect to a CT Indemnifiable Claim, Clean Technologies, in its capacity as a Member or Managing Member, shall not have any liability to the Company, any Class B Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement for damages resulting from a breach or breaches by (i) the Administrator resulting from or arising out of the Administrator’s performance of its obligations under the Administrative Services Agreement (including any predecessor administrative services agreement the Company was party to prior to the date hereof), (ii) the Operator of any of its obligations, covenants or agreements under the MOMA, except to the extent that Clean Technologies is the Managing Member and it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to appeal, or not appealed) that Clean Technologies, as Managing Member, has failed to perform its supervisory obligations hereunder with respect to the Administrative Services Agreement (including any predecessor administrative services agreement the Company was party to prior to the date hereof) or the MOMA in a manner consistent with the definition of “Prudent Operator Standard”.

Section 3.8    Company PropertyAll property owned by the Company, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible and wherever located, shall be deemed to be owned by the Company, and no Member, individually, shall have any ownership of such property.
Section 3.9    Retirement, Resignation, Expulsion, Incompetency, Bankruptcy or Dissolution of a MemberThe retirement, resignation, expulsion, Bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member shall not, in and of itself, dissolve the Company.

To the extent permitted by applicable law (and provided that it would not likely cause the Grant Application to be rejected or materially delayed), the Grant Application will request that the Grant be wired or otherwise sent directly to a control account. The Members will cooperate to seek confirmation from the appropriate Governmental Authorities with respect to the ability to have such control account established in the name of the Company. To provide for the possibility that the Grant will have to be funded to an account of the Project Company, promptly following the Execution

14
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


Date, the Managing Member shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to cause the Project Company, at its cost, to cause the Project Company’s lenders to allow the Project Company to establish a control account in the name of the Project Company which would not be subject to any lien or security interest or restriction on distribution other than the hereinafter described Control Agreement. Whether or not the control account is at the Project Company or Company level, the control account shall be subject to the Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Class B Member, the control account agent and either the Project Company or the Company, as applicable, which shall provide that upon receipt of any funds in the control account, the control account agent will immediately distribute such funds to the Class B Member and the Class A Member, pro rata as provided in Section 6.1(a). Any distribution made from the control account to the Members will be deemed to be a Company distribution for all purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts.
(b)    At least 10 days prior to filing a Grant Application, the Managing Member shall deliver to Class B Member a copy of the proposed Grant Application, which shall include the proposed filing date for the Grant Application. Class B Member shall have the right to raise reasonable objections to the proposed Grant Application within five days after Class B Member’s receipt thereof. If Class B Member raises any objection to the proposed Grant Application within such five-day period, the Managing Member and Class B Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections. In the event the Managing Member and Class B Member are unable to resolve any such objections within a reasonable period of time, either Member may invoke the dispute resolution provisions of Section 11.11(a).
(c)    To the Knowledge of the Managing Member, after due inquiry, all factual information and factual statements contained in the Grant Applications including amounts relating to the purchase price of the Existing Systems shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.15(c) shall not be construed as a representation or warranty to any Member as to any legal matters or legal conclusions in the Grant Applications, although the Parties acknowledge that Clean Technologies has made representations and warranties in this Agreement and the ECCA, including representations and warranties relating to the eligibility of the Existing Systems for the Grant.
(d)    The Managing Member shall cause the Company to cause the Project Company to respond to all written requests from any Governmental Authority for additional or supplemental information relating to the Grant Application and shall make all required filings and responses in Consultation with Class B Member.
(e)    Upon receipt by the Project Company of Grant proceeds, the Managing Member shall, within two Business Days following the date on which Grant proceeds are received by the Project Company, provide Class B Member or cause Class B Member to be provided with a notice that sets forth the amount of the Grant received by the Project Company and a calculation of the appropriate amounts to be distributed to each of the Members.

15
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


(f)    In the event that an Alternative Tax Program is elected pursuant to Section 7.5(b)(i), the above provisions shall be deemed to apply to any Alternative Tax Program (with modifications as necessary to account for the differences in such programs as compared to the Grant), and the Managing Member shall be required to comply with all such provisions of this Section 3.15 as if they applied to any Alternative Tax Program, as applicable.
Section 3.16    SeparatenessThe Members agree that the Company and the Project Company are separate and distinct entities and that the Company shall conduct, and cause the Project Company to conduct, their respective affairs in a manner intended to maintain such status, including without limitation adhering the following:
(a)    The Company has not formed, acquired or held and shall not form, acquire or hold any subsidiary, except for the Project Company;

ARTICLE IV    
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
Section 4.1    Capital Contributions
(a)    Subject to the terms of the ECCA, the Members will make Capital Contributions to the Company at the times and in the amounts required under the ECCA and if required under Section 4.5 hereof, at the time and in the amounts specified in Section 4.5. The Members acknowledge that on or prior to the effective date of the 2012 Operating Agreement, the Class A Member made a Capital Contribution to the Company of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Project Company and the sum of $16,619,399.60 (in cash), and has agreed to make further Capital Contributions at the times and in the amounts required under the ECCA. Except as provided in this Article IV of this Agreement, no Member will be required to make any Capital Contributions to the Company after the Subsequent Funding Termination Date.
(b)    The Company shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Member with respect to each Funding, and the Company shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event any such obligation is not met.
(i)    Each Member hereby (A) agrees that the remedy at law for damages resulting from any failure by it to make a Funding when required under the terms of the ECCA is inadequate because the funding of the Existing Systems requires

17
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


the timely availability of required capital contributions and (B) consents to the institution of an action for specific performance of its obligations in the event of such a default.
(ii)    The Managing Member (or any other Member in the event that the Managing Member is the defaulting Member) may cause the Company to commence legal proceedings against the defaulting Member to collect the due and unpaid capital contribution plus interest (calculated from the date of the missed Funding) at a rate equal to the lesser of (x) 18% per annum, compounded daily and (y) the maximum rate allowable by law, as well as the expenses of collection including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. Amounts collected in excess of the defaulting Member’s due and unpaid capital contribution or loan advance shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to be income of, or a reimbursement to, the Company, as appropriate, and shall not be treated as a capital contribution by the defaulting Member.
(iii)    Such defaulting Member’s share of the future distributions and profits (but not losses) of the Company shall be reduced by up to 100% of that to which such defaulting Member would have been entitled based upon its Percentage Interest as measured immediately prior to the date of the missed Funding, based on a proportionate calculation of the shortfall of funds resulting from such defaulting Member’s failure to comply with its Funding obligation. The share of future distributions and profits that are not allocated to the defaulting Member shall be apportioned among the other non-defaulting Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests until such time as the defaulting Member cures such default by paying such unpaid capital contribution plus interest (calculated from the date of the missed Funding) at a rate equal to the lesser of (x) 18% per annum, compounded daily and (y) the maximum rate allowable by law, as well as the expenses of collection including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees.
(c)    The Members acknowledge that an Affiliate of the Class A Member, Bloom, is entering into the Repurchase Agreement on the Effective Date and, pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, Bloom is making a deposit in the aggregate amount of $72,321,380.05 (the “Deposit”) against the aggregate Purchase Price (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement) which will be used to repay the outstanding balance (together with accrued but unpaid interest, prepayment charges, make-whole amounts and related costs) owed to the Note Holders under the Credit Documents (such amount, the “Project Company Debt”). The Deposit shall be paid and the Managing Member shall cause the Company to cause the Project Company to immediately use the Deposit to repay the Project Company Debt and cause the release of all collateral securing such Project Company Debt and for the Project Company’s obligations to the Note Holders and all other parties to the Credit Documents to be satisfied in full. The Members further acknowledge that had Bloom not made such Deposit under the Repurchase Agreement, the Class A Member would likely have needed to make an additional capital contribution hereunder in order to provide the Project Company funds to repay the Project Company Debt. Therefore, the Members agree that, should Bloom fail to repurchase all of the Existing Systems pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Repurchase Agreement on or before March 31, 2020

18
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


(other than as a result of a breach by Bloom of the Repurchase Agreement), then a pro rata amount of the Deposit (based on the Existing Systems not repurchased under the Repurchase Agreement as of March 31, 2020) shall be credited to the Class A Member as an additional Capital Contribution hereunder; provided, however, the foregoing shall not relieve the Class A Member or Bloom from any obligation to make a Supplemental Buyout Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof nor result in any offset or reduction of such obligation to make a Supplemental Buyout Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof.
Section 4.2    Capital Accounts
(a)    A Capital Account will be established and maintained for each Member in the manner required by the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. If there is more than one Member in a class, then each of the Members in that class will have a separate Capital Account.
(b)    A Member’s Capital Account will be increased by (i) the amount of money the Member contributes to the Company, (ii) the Gross Asset Value of any property the Member contributes to the Company (net of liabilities secured by the property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code; the Gross Asset Value of any property contributed by a Member will be set forth in Schedule 4.2(b)), (iii) the income and gain (or items thereof) that the Member is allocated by the Company, including any income and gain exempted from tax (e.g., income allocated in respect of the Grant) and gain described in Section 4.2(c) and (iv) an amount equal to an allocation of upward basis adjustment to such Member in the event of a recapture of the Grant or ITC as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j). A Member’s Capital Account will be decreased by (v) the amount of money distributed to the Member by the Company (including any proceeds from the Grant distributed to such Member), (vi) the Gross Asset Value of any property distributed to the Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by the property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), (vii) any expenditures of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code (i.e., expenditures that cannot be capitalized or deducted in computing taxable income) that are allocated to the Member; and (viii) losses and deductions (or items thereof) that are allocated by the Company to the Member, including losses described in Section 4.2(c), but the Capital Account will not be reduced again under this clause (viii) for expenditures that already reduced it under clause (vii) and (ix) an amount equal to an allocation of downward basis adjustment to such Member to take into account the Grant or ITC as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j).
(c)    The Gross Asset Values of all the Company assets will be adjusted to equal their respective Gross Fair Market Values upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) if any new or existing Member contributes more than a de minimis amount of money or property, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment will be made to Gross Asset Values in connection with any Capital Contributions described in Section 4.2(b) or (c), (ii) if more than a de minimis amount of money or other property is distributed by the Company to a

19
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


Member to redeem its Membership Interest, or (iii) if the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g). Following the occurrence of an event in clauses (i) and (ii) the Managing Member will make an adjustment to Gross Asset Value only if it reasonably determines, after Consultation with the other Members, that the adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members in the Company. In addition, the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset that is distributed to a Member will be adjusted to equal the Gross Fair Market Value of the asset on the Distribution Date. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any item of the Company’s property is adjusted as described in this Section 4.2(c), then the amount of the adjustment will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the Gross Asset Value) or an item of loss (if the adjustment decreases the Gross Asset Value) from the disposition of such property.
(d)    As of the Original Date, the initial Capital Account balance and Percentage Interest of each Member is shown in Schedule 4.2(d). Contributions made by the Members on Subsequent Fundings will be considered contributions of such amounts to the Company. The Managing Member will update Schedule 4.2(d) after each Subsequent Funding and from time to time as necessary to reflect accurately the information therein; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Company LLC Agreement or the ECCA to the contrary, failure to update Schedule 4.2(d) in accordance with this Section 4.2(d) shall not impact the actual amounts considered Capital Contributions hereunder, all of which shall be deemed made on the date actually contributed. Any such updating will be consistent with how this Article IV requires that the Capital Accounts be maintained. Any reference in this Agreement to Schedule 4.2(d) will be treated as a reference to Schedule 4.2(d) as amended and in effect from time to time.
(e)    If all or a portion of a Membership Interest in the Company is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the transferee will succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the Membership Interest so Transferred.
(f)    The provisions of this Agreement relating to maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations or any successor provisions.
Section 4.3    Equity Contributions to Project Company
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 4.4 hereof, the Company shall contribute funds to the Project Company (each such contribution, an “Equity Contribution”) for further application by the Project Company towards payment of the purchase price for the Existing Systems and other related costs. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a notice in the form of Exhibit E (the “Equity Contribution Notice”) and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent in Section 4.4 (such date, the “Equity Contribution Date”), the Company shall transfer the

appropriate amount of funds from the Company’s account to a Project Company account as specified by the Project Company in such notice.
(b)    Each of the Initial Funding Payment of Class B Member and the CT Funding Amount of Class A Member made on the Initial Funding Date has been or shall be applied for further contribution to the Project Company to pay the 25% Progress Payments for Existing Systems to be deployed in the two quarters immediately following the Initial Funding Date.
(c)    All CT Funding Amounts made by Class A Member and all Subsequent Funding Payments made by Class B Member (subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Class B Member of the conditions precedent in Section 4.4) will be contributed to the Project Company and used for the purchase and installation of the Existing Systems and related costs. All CT Funding Amounts and all Subsequent Funding Payments will be deposited into an account established in the Project Company’s name with a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Class B Member (the “Capital Contributions Account”) and will be maintained in the Capital Contributions Account until such time as such amounts are used by the Project Company to pay for the costs or expenses for which such funds were requested, to distribute such funds to the Members as expressly permitted hereunder or for such other uses as are agreed to by the Members. Upon establishment of the Capital Contributions Account any portion of the Capital Contributions made by the Members on the Initial Funding Date that was projected to pay for the purchase price of Existing Systems that has not yet been used for such purpose shall be deposited into the Capital Contributions Account and maintained there until used in accordance with the preceding sentence.
Section 4.4    Conditions Precedent to Equity Contributions by CompanyThe obligation of the Company to make an Equity Contribution to the Project Company (except in the case of the portion of any Equity Contribution used to pay any 25% Progress Payments for Existing Systems to be deployed in the subsequent quarter which shall be subject to the conditions precedent hereinafter expressly provided) will be subject to the fulfillment by the Project Company, on or before the applicable Equity Contribution Date, of each of the following conditions (and upon satisfaction of such conditions, as applicable, the Managing Member shall so notify in writing the Administrator and the Members):
(a)    the Project Company shall have delivered to the Company and each of the Company’s members an Equity Contribution Notice, in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit E;
(b)    Managing Member’s Capital Contribution to the Company of $16,619,399.60 shall have been further contributed by the Company to the Project Company and used by Project Company to incur Project costs in an amount equal to at least 5% of the cost of all Existing Systems;

25
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


(c)    No losses or deductions may be allocated to a Member pursuant to this Section 5.1 to the extent the allocation would lead to a deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. Losses or deductions that a Member cannot be allocated by reason of this Section 5.1(b) will be allocated to the other Members.
Section 5.2    AdjustmentsThe following adjustments will be made in the allocations in Section 5.1 to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b):
(a)    In any Fiscal Year in which there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, income and gain in the amount of the net decrease will be allocated to Members in the ratio required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2. This provision is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b)    In any Fiscal Year in which there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt, then income and gain in the amount of the net decrease will be allocated to each Member who was considered to have had a share of such minimum gain at the beginning of the Fiscal Year in the ratio required by Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii). This provision is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c)    In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), gross income will be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, any deficit in the Member’s Adjusted Capital Account as quickly as possible. However, an allocation will be made under this Section 5.2(c) only if and to the extent that the Member would have a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.2(c) were not in this Agreement.
(d)    In the event that any Member has a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year after all the other allocations in Section 5.1 and 5.2 have been taken into account, then the Member will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain as quickly as possible to eliminate the deficit.
(e)    Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the Members in the same ratio as other income and loss under Section 5.1 or Sections 10.2(c) and (d), as applicable.
(f)    Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member

26
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


Nonrecourse Debt to which the Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
(g)    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, 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, 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 the same ratio as other gain or loss for the Fiscal Year in which the adjustment occurs. This provision is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) and (4) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.
(h)    The allocations in this Section 5.2 are required to comply with the Treasury Regulations. To the extent the Company can do so consistently with the Treasury Regulations, the net amount of the allocations under this Article V and Section 10.2 to each Member will be the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if this Agreement did not have this Section 5.2.
Section 5.3    Tax Allocations
(a)    All allocations of tax items of Company income, gain, deductions and losses for each Fiscal Year will be allocated in the same proportions as the allocations of book items of Company income, gain, deductions and losses were made for such Fiscal Year pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 5.3(a), if, as a result of contributions of property by a Member to the Company or an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of Company assets pursuant to this Company LLC Agreement, there exists a variation between the adjusted basis of an item of Company property for United States federal income tax purposes and as determined under the definition of Gross Asset Value, allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction will be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for United States federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value using the traditional method with curative allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(c). To the extent the “ceiling rule” in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b) prevents the noncontributing Members from receiving an amount of tax depreciation in any year equal to the Members’ share of Depreciation for the year, then the shortfall will be made up in succeeding years as quickly as possible out of any tax depreciation that would otherwise have been allocated to the contributing Member.

27
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


(c)    Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of income, gain, deductions or losses or distributions pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement.
(d)    To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset is made pursuant to Section 743(b) of the Code as the result of a purchase of a Membership Interest in the Company, any adjustment to the depreciation, amortization, gain or loss resulting from such adjustment will affect the transferee only and will not affect the Capital Account of the transferor or transferee. In such case, the transferee will be required to agree to provide to the Company (i) information about the allocation of any step-up or step-down in basis to the Company’s assets and (ii) the depreciation or amortization method for any step-up in basis to the Company’s assets.
(e)    Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess non-recourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s share of such liability shall be consistent with the profit sharing percentages then in effect pursuant to Section 5.1(a).
Section 5.4    Transfer or Change in Company InterestIf the respective Membership Interests or allocation ratios described in this Article V of the existing Members in the Company change or if a Membership Interest is Transferred in compliance with this Agreement to any other Person, then, for the Fiscal Year in which the change or Transfer occurs, all income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and other tax incidents resulting from the operations of the Company shall be allocated, as between the Members for the Fiscal Year in which the change occurs or between the transferor and transferee, by taking into account their varying interests using the interim closing method permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.706.
Section 5.5    Timing of AllocationsItems of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be allocated to the Members pursuant to this Article V as of the last day of each Fiscal Year; provided that such items shall also be allocated at such times as the Gross Asset Values of the Company’s assets are adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2(c).
ARTICLE VI

Section 6.2    Withholding Taxes. If the Company is required to withhold taxes with respect to any allocation or distribution to any Member pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local tax laws, the Company may, after first notifying the Member and permitting the Member, if legally permitted, to contest the applicability of such taxes, withhold such amounts and make such payments to taxing authorities as are necessary to ensure compliance with such tax laws. Any funds withheld by reason of this Section 6.2 shall nonetheless be deemed distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Company fails to withhold from actual distributions any amounts it was required to withhold, the Company may, at its option, (a) require the Member to which the withholding was credited to reimburse the Company for such withholding, or (b) reduce any subsequent distributions by the amount of such withholding. This obligation of a Member to reimburse the Company for taxes that were required to be withheld shall continue after such Member Transfers its Membership Interests in the Company. Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations and forms

29
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


as shall reasonably be requested by the Company to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have.
Section 6.3    Limitation upon Distributions. No distribution of Company Distributable Cash will be made if the distribution would violate any contract or agreement to which the Company is then a party or any Legal Requirement then applicable to the Company.
Section 6.4    No Return of Distributions. Any distribution of Company Distributable Cash or property pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a compromise within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act and, to the full extent permitted by law, any Member receiving the payment of any such money or distribution of any such property shall not be required to return any such money or property to any Person, the Company or any creditor of the Company. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to return such money or property, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of the other Members. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a deficit Capital Account of a Member shall not be deemed to be a liability of such Member nor an asset or property of the Company.
Section 6.5    Calculation of Internal Rate of Return.
(a)    Tracking Progress. The Managing Member will calculate at least annually whether the Class B Member has reached the Target IRR and will send the Class B Member, within 120 days after the end of each Fiscal Year in which the Target IRR was not achieved, a report in the form of the Tracking Model showing where it believes the Class B Member is in relation to the Target IRR. If the report suggests that the Target IRR will be reached during the next two Fiscal Years, then the Managing Member will calculate and report whether the Class B Member has reached the Target IRR at least quarterly thereafter. The Managing Member will make its advisers available to answer any questions about its calculations. The Class B Member may invoke the dispute resolution procedures in Section 11.11(b) to resolve any item or procedure that is in dispute, and the conclusion of such dispute resolution procedures will apply in all subsequent periods to any identical item or procedure.
(b)    Notice of Date. The Managing Member will notify the Class B Member in writing at least 10 Business Days before the Distribution Date following the month in which it believes the Class B Member achieved the Target IRR or at least 30 days before making any liquidating distributions, in connection with a liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 10.1, if it believes the Class B Member will achieve the Target IRR as a consequence of the liquidating distributions. The notice will include the Tracking Model showing the Managing Member’s calculations and, in the case of a notice delivered in connection with a liquidation, the allocations and distributions that the Managing Member proposes to make to the Class B Member under Section 10.2 in light of the calculations.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Class A Recapture Event after a final determination has been made that Class B Member has achieved the Target IRR, the Internal Rate of Return shall be recalculated at the time of such Class A Recapture Event in accordance with the terms of Section 6.5, taking into account the consequences of any recapture. If, as a result of the Class A Recapture Event, the Class B Member’s Internal Rate of Return is below the Target IRR, the sharing percentages set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 6.1 shall be adjusted to the maximum extent necessary so as to correct, on a present value basis calculated at the Target IRR, the difference between the Target IRR assumed to have been realized by a holder of Class B Membership Interests on the Distribution Date as of which the Target IRR was determined to have been achieved, and the Internal Rate of Return realized by such a holder after adjusting solely for the Class A Recapture Event. Such change in sharing percentages shall remain in effect until, and to the extent necessary so that, the difference between the Target IRR and actual Internal Rate of Return shall have been eliminated.

DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the proceeds of the Permitted Distribution shall be distributed to the Members on April 30, 2013 or such earlier date as may be agreed upon by the Members and (ii) the proceeds of the Aggregate Final Completion Distribution shall be distributed 100% to the Class B Members, distributed among them in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares, on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the Final Completion Date.
Section 6.12    Repurchase DistributionsNotwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from the Effective Date through the date the Current Buyout Amount is repaid in full, which shall be on or prior to March 31, 2020, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to cause the Project Company, promptly following the receipt of funds with respect to any Payment Date Amount under the Repurchase Agreement (on each Payment Date thereunder), to distribute to the Company an amount equal to 100% of such funds associated with all Payment Date Amounts received by the Project Company from the repurchase of the Existing Systems pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement (“Repurchase Distributions”), and promptly thereafter, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to distribute the Repurchase Distributions 100% to the Class B Member, which distribution (so long as made on or prior to March 31, 2020) shall reduce the Current Buyout Amount, including if a Supplemental Buyout Capital Contribution is required to be made by the Class A Member pursuant to Section 4.5 above, the amount of such Supplemental Buyout Capital Contribution, up to the then existing Current Buyout Amount, shall be distributed by the Company to the Class B Member. Further, in the event that (A) the Class A Member or an Affiliate otherwise elects, in its sole discretion, to contribute any funds to the Class B Member on or prior to March 31, 2020, (B) any Payment Date Amount is paid directly to Mehetia pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, or (C) a Supplemental Buyout Capital Contribution from the Class A Member is required to be made pursuant to Section 4.5 above, each will be distributed to the Class B Member pursuant to the requirements of this Section 6.12, and, in each case, any such amounts shall be deemed to constitute “Repurchase Distributions” and shall reduce the Current Buyout Amount to the extent of such contribution/payment (so long as made on or prior to March 31, 2020). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event will any Repurchase Distributions distributed to the Class B Member after March 31, 2020 reduce the Current Buyout Amount or otherwise result in any redemption of the Class B Member’s Membership Interests pursuant to Section 3.12(o) (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Class B Member in its sole discretion), but any such Repurchase Distributions shall be considered in the calculation of the Target IRR. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Payment Date that occurs after March 31, 2020 or any repurchase of an Existing System under the Repurchase Agreement that occurs after March 31, 2020: (i) the funds from the Payment Date Amount shall be distributed from the Project Company to the Company and, in turn, 100% of such funds distributed to Mehetia, but such amounts shall not decrease the Current Buyout Amount; and (ii) to the extent that such Repurchase Distributions result in the achievement of the Target IRR or result in the Flip Date occurring, Mehetia shall continue to remain a member of the Company entitled to all rights hereunder (including any rights to receive any distributions

34

hereunder) unless and until the Class A Member exercises its Purchase Option or Mehetia exercises its Sale Option (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Class B Member in its sole discretion to permit such distributions to result in a redemption of the Class B Member’s Membership Interests pursuant to Section 3.12(o)). Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or the Repurchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the Members agree to treat the Repurchase Distributions as a distribution of money for purposes of Section 731 of the Code. In addition, any payment for indemnification, reimbursement of costs or expenses, payments for non revenue-related damages or other non revenue-related compensatory distribution (each a “Compensatory Distribution”) made to the Company (or directly to Mehetia) hereunder or pursuant to or in connection with any Transaction Document (excluding any warranty or production guarantee payments actually received by Mehetia (including by way of distribution from the Company)) and allocated to Mehetia (whether such payment is distributed only to Mehetia or to both Mehetia and the Class A Member) pursuant hereto or pursuant to any such Transaction Document, other than payments that are intended to provide compensation for lost generation or lost Company or Project Company revenue shall not be considered a “Repurchase Distribution”, and shall not be credited against the Current Buyout Amount or achievement of the Target IRR (it being understood and agreed that if any payment for a Compensatory Distribution is made to the Project Company or the Company pursuant to or in connection with any Transaction Document, then the Managing Member shall the cause the Company (and the Company shall cause the Project Company, as applicable) to promptly distribute such amounts of any Compensatory Distribution to the Company and then further promptly distribute such amounts 100% to Mehetia).
Section 6.13.    Distribution of Funds Provided as Security for the Tariff Indemnity Letters of Credit and ITC Indemnity Letter of Credit.
Each of the Tariff Indemnity Distributions and the ITC Indemnity Distribution which are provided as security for the issuance of the Tariff Indemnity Letters of Credit or the ITC Indemnity Letter of Credit, and any funds contributed by the Class A Member for such purpose, and which are subsequently released from the lien of the issuer of the Tariff Indemnity Letters of Credit or the ITC Indemnity Letter of Credit, as applicable, upon release of such lien, shall be immediately removed from the accounts holding such funds by the Managing Member and distributed by the Managing Member to the Class A Member.

(a)    In connection with any Transfer pursuant to Sections 9.7 or 9.8 (the “Designated Transfers”), each Member involved shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of, give all notices to and make all filings with, all Governmental Authorities and third parties that may be or become necessary for the Designated Transfers, its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, this Agreement or other Transaction Documents in connection with any such Designated Transfer and will cooperate fully with the other Members in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals, giving such notices and making such filings, including the provision to such third parties and Governmental Authorities of such financial statements and other publicly available financial information with respect to such Member or, if applicable, such Member’s guarantor, as the case may be, as such third parties or Governmental Authorities may reasonably request; provided, however, that no Member involved shall have any obligation to pay any consideration to obtain any such consents. In addition, the Members involved shall keep each other reasonably apprised of their efforts to obtain necessary consents and waivers from third parties or Governmental Authorities and the responses of such third parties and Governmental Authorities to requests to provide such consents and waivers.

Section 9.12    Indemnification; Other Rights of the Members.
(a)    Beginning on the Original Date (or, with respect to any additional Member that becomes a Member after the Original Date, on the first date on which such Person becomes a Member hereunder) and continuing thereafter, Clean Technologies agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Investor Indemnified Costs; provided, however, that in no event will Clean Technologies’ aggregate obligation (including any prior indemnity payments by Clean Technologies under this Agreement or under the ECCA) to indemnify the Investor Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed 100% of the Funding Payments of the Class B Member made to date except with respect to Investor Indemnified Costs (r) resulting from any payment for indemnification, reimbursement of costs or expenses, payments for damages or other compensatory payments made by the Company pursuant to or in connection with the Project Company LLC Agreement or the New ECCA, (s) resulting from fraud or willful misconduct, (t) resulting from failure to pay any amount due to

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Clean Technologies agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor Indemnified Parties for all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, demands, charges, suits, Taxes, penalties, costs, and reasonable expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of one law firm for all Investor Indemnified Parties) related to or arising out of a CT Indemnifiable Claim.
(b)    Beginning on the Original Date (or, with respect to any additional Member that becomes a Member after the Original Date, on the first date on which such Person becomes a Member hereunder) and continuing thereafter, the Class B Member agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Clean Technologies Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Clean Technologies Indemnified Costs; provided, however, except with respect to Clean Technologies Indemnified Costs (w) resulting from fraud or willful misconduct, (x) resulting from failure to pay any amount due to Clean Technologies Indemnified Parties under the Transaction Documents, (y) resulting from a Third Party Claim, or any CT Indemnifiable Claim, or (z) resulting from the failure to enforce a Material Contract with an Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party, in no event will the Class B Member’s aggregate obligation (including any prior indemnity payments by the Class B Member under this Agreement or under the ECCA) to indemnify the Clean Technologies Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed 100% of the Funding Payments of the Class B Member made to date.
(c)    Other than with respect to Indemnified Costs resulting from Third Party Claims, no claim for indemnification may be made with respect to any Indemnified Costs (other than fraud, willful misconduct, or failure to pay any amount due to Indemnified Parties under

59
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


any Transaction Document) until the aggregate amount of such costs for which indemnification is (or previously has been) sought by the Indemnified Party under all Transaction Documents exceeds $175,000 and once such threshold amount of claims has been reached, the relevant Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall have the right to be indemnified only to the extent the amount of Indemnified Costs claimed exceed such threshold amount. Claims for indemnification under this Company LLC Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall not be duplicative of one another and shall not allow for duplicative recoveries.
Section 9.13    Indemnification of Members by the Company. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each Member and any Affiliate of a Member, and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (each, a “Member Party”) shall be exculpated from liability for and defended, indemnified and held harmless by the Company from all Claims arising out of the performance by such Member Party of its obligations under this Company LLC Agreement so long as such Member Party acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by it to be in the best interest of or not opposed to the interest of the Company; provided, however, that no Member Party shall be shall be exculpated from liability for and defended, indemnified and held harmless or entitled to the payment of an indemnity claim under this Article IX.
Section 9.14    Direct Claims. In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under Section 9.12 that is not subject to Section 9.15 because no Third Party Claim is involved, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any amounts that the Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms of this Article IX. The failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim, except to the extent the resulting delay materially and adversely prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.
Section 9.15    Third Party Claims. An Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party within 10 days after it has actual knowledge of commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under Section 9.12. Such notice shall state the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim and the events and the amounts thereof to the extent known. Any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX, except to the extent the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party, so long as it has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party that it is liable for such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.15, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such Third Party Claim or such Third Party Claim entails a material risk of criminal penalties or civil fines or non monetary sanctions being imposed on the Indemnified Party or a risk of materially adversely affecting the Indemnified

60
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


Party’s business (a “Third Party Penalty Claim”), to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or defending such portion of such Third Party Penalty Claim; provided nothing contained herein shall permit Clean Technologies to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving a Class B Member or any Affiliate of a Class B Member, or permit a Class B Member to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving any Affiliate of Clean Technologies other than the Company and the Project Company; and, provided, further, the Parties agree that the handling of any Tax contests involving the Company will be governed by Section 7.7. In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party advises an Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will not contest a claim for indemnification hereunder, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails, within 30 days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such Indemnified Party of its election, to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any such Third Party Claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense) or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such Third Party Claim or the action or claim is a Third Party Penalty Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim or Third Party Claim in each case, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. In any event, unless and until the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent commercially reasonable with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense unless otherwise specified herein; provided that any such participation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense to the extent such participation relates to a Third Party Penalty Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised at all times as to the status of the defense; provided, however, that the failure to keep the Indemnifying Party so informed shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition any such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.15 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, (i) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof which involves any condition other

61
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


than payment of money by the Indemnified Party, (ii) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof without first demonstrating to Indemnified Party the ability to pay such claim or judgment, or (iii) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof that does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party, a full and complete release from all liability in respect of such claim.
Section 9.16    No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Article IX shall be determined without duplication of recovery. Without limiting the generality of the prior sentence, if a statement of facts, condition or event constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is subject to the indemnification obligation in Section 9.12, only one recovery of Indemnified Costs per Indemnified Party shall be allowed.
Section 9.17    Sole Remedy. Except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or failure to pay and except for claims brought under Article 6 of the ECCA, the enforcement of the claims of the Parties under Section 6.6, Section 6.7, Section 6.8, Section 6.9 or Article IX of this Agreement, or the enforcement of claims of the Project Company under the Repurchase Agreement, are the sole and exclusive remedies that a Party shall have under this Agreement for the recovery of Indemnified Costs; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party hereby reserves all equitable remedies.
Section 9.18    Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations made or undertaken by a Party in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document are material, have been relied upon by the other Parties and, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.18 or elsewhere in this Agreement (or, with respect to any representations, warranties, covenants and obligations made or undertaken in any other Transaction Document, in such Transaction Document), shall continue in full force and effect, together with the associated rights of indemnification, indefinitely.
Section 9.19    Final Date for Assertion of Indemnity Claims. All claims by an Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX resulting from breaches of representations or warranties in Article III of this Agreement shall be forever barred unless the other Party is notified within eighteen (18) months after the date such representation or warranty is made; provided that if written notice of a claim for indemnification has been given by an Indemnified Party on or prior to the last day of the respective foregoing period, then the obligation of the other Party to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved.
Section 9.20    Reasonable Steps to Mitigate. Each Indemnified Party will take, at the Indemnifying Party’s own reasonable cost and expense, all reasonable commercial steps identified by Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties to mitigate all Indemnified Costs (other than any such Indemnified Costs that are Taxes), which steps may include availing itself

62
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity. The Indemnified Parties will provide such evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of the Indemnified Costs as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.
Section 9.21    Net of Insurance Benefits. All Indemnified Costs shall be net of insurance recoveries from insurance policies of the Project Company (including under the existing title policies) to the extent that any proceeds of such policies, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred by the Project Company in connection therewith, are distributed by the Project Company to the Company and are in turn distributed by the Company to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, such amount shall account for any costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with obtaining insurance proceeds with respect to any breach or nonperformance hereunder.
Section 9.22    No Consequential Damages. Indemnified Costs shall not include, and an Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party for or in respect of, any punitive, consequential or exemplary damages of any nature including but not limited to damages for lost profits or revenues or the loss or use of such profits or revenue, loss by reason of plant shutdown or inability to operate at rated capacity, increased operating expenses of plant or equipment, increased costs of purchasing or providing equipment, materials, labor, services, costs of replacement, power or capital, debt service fees or penalties, inventory or use charges, damages to reputation, damages for lost opportunities, or claims of the Project Company’s customers, members or affiliates, regardless of whether said claim is based upon contract, warranty, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or other theory of law unless payable by such Indemnified Party as part of a Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the lost profits or revenues (and the loss or use thereof) language set forth in this Section 9.22 shall not be interpreted to exclude from Indemnified Costs any damages, losses, claims, liabilities, demands charges, suits, Taxes, penalties, costs or expenses that would otherwise be included within the definition of Indemnified Costs because they result from a reduction in the profits of the Project Company, the Company, or both.
Section 9.23    Payment of Indemnification Claims. All claims for indemnification shall be paid by Indemnifying Party in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars. Any undisputed portion of an indemnification claim shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties involved. An Indemnifying Party may dispute any portion of an indemnification claim, provided, however, that such disputed indemnification claim shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party together with interest at a market rate upon the final determination of the payable amount of the claim (if any) by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 9.24    Repayment; Subrogation. If the amount of any Indemnified Costs, at any time after the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under any insurance coverage (excluding any proceeds from self

63
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


insurance or flow through insurance policies) or under any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other entity, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, must promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party net of any Taxes imposed upon the Indemnified Party in respect of such amounts, but taking into account any Tax benefit the Indemnified Party receives as a result of such repayment. Upon making any indemnity payment (other than any indemnity payment relating to Taxes), the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party, except third parties that provide insurance coverage to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, in respect of the Indemnified Costs to which the indemnity payment relates. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims at the direction of the Indemnifying Party. Nothing in this Section 9.24 will be construed to require any Party to obtain or maintain any insurance coverage.
ARTICLE X    
DISSOLUTION AND WINDING-UP
Section 10.1    Events of Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of any of the following:
(a)    the written consent of the Members representing a Class Majority Vote to dissolve and terminate the Company after the final Recapture Period;
(b)    the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act;
(c)    the occurrence of the LLC Agreement Termination Date;
(d)    the disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s business and assets after the final Recapture Period;
(e)    the issuance of a final, nonappealable court order which makes it unlawful for the business of the Company to be carried on; or
(f)    at any time there are no members of the Company unless the business of the Company is continued in accordance with the Act.
Section 10.2    Distribution of Assets.
(a)    The Members hereby appoint the Managing Member to act as the liquidator upon the occurrence of one of the events in Section 10.1. Upon the occurrence of such an event, the liquidator will proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make

64
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The liquidator may sell, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best possible price for, any or all Company property, including to Members. In no event, without the approval of Members by a Class Majority Vote, will a sale to a Member be for an amount that is less than fair market value (determined by the Appraisal Method if the Members (by a Class Majority Vote) are unable to agree on the fair market value).
(b)    The liquidator will first pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (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) in the order of priority as provided by law.
(c)    All assets of the Company will be treated as if sold, and the gain treated as realized on those assets will be allocated first to Members with deficits in their Capital Accounts (in the ratio of the deficits if more than one Member’s Capital Account is in deficit) in order to eliminate the deficits.
(d)    Remaining gain or loss will be allocated next to the Class B Member in an effort to set the Capital Account of the Class B Member at a level that would allow it to reach the Target IRR out of the liquidating distributions if the Target IRR has not already been achieved, and thereafter in the ratio in Section 5.1(a)(ii), provided that no allocation will increase a deficit in the Capital Account of a Class B Member.
(e)    After the allocations in clauses (c) and (d) have been made, then cash and property will be distributed pro rata to the Members in the amount of the positive balances in their Capital Accounts by the end of the taxable year during which the liquidation occurs (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation).
(f)    The distribution of cash and property to a Member under this Section 10.2 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member on its Membership Interests in the Company of all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act. If the assets of the Company remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company are insufficient to return Capital Contributions of each Member, such Member shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member.
Section 10.3    In-Kind Distributions. There shall be no distribution of assets of the Company in kind without a prior Class Majority Vote.
Section 10.4    Certificate of Cancellation.

65
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


(a)    When all debts, liabilities and obligations have been paid and discharged or adequate provisions have been made therefor and all of the remaining property and assets have been distributed to the Members, a certificate of cancellation shall be executed and filed by the liquidator with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which certificate shall set forth the information required by Section 18-203 of the Act.
(b)    Upon the filing of the certificate of cancellation, the existence of the Company shall cease.
(c)    All costs and expenses in fulfilling the obligations under this Section 10.4 shall be borne by the Company.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.1    Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, any offer, acceptance, election, approval, consent, certification, request, waiver, notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder (collectively referred to as a “Notice”), shall be in writing and delivered (a) in person, (b) by registered or certified mail with postage prepaid and return receipt requested, (c) by recognized overnight courier service with charges prepaid, (d) by facsimile transmission, or (e) by e-mail directed to the intended recipient at the address of such Member on Schedule 4.2(d) or at such other address as any Member hereafter may designate to the others in accordance with a Notice under this Section 11.1.

Section 11.2    Amendment. Except for an amendment of Schedule 4.2(d), an amendment of Annex II to reflect the issuance of additional Class B Membership Interests or a Transfer of Class B Membership Interests, or an amendment in connection with the admission of a new Member, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement may be changed, modified or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by all Members.

66
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


Section 11.3    Partition. Each of the Members hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent it may lawfully do so, any right that such Member may have to maintain any action for partition with respect to the Company property.
Section 11.4    Waivers and Modifications. Any waiver or consent, express, implied or deemed, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company or any action inconsistent with this Agreement 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 with respect to the Company or any other such action. Failure on the part of a Person to insist in any one or more instances upon strict performance of any provisions of this Agreement, to take advantage of any of its rights hereunder, or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that Person or its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has lapsed. All waivers and consents hereunder shall be in writing duly executed by all Members affected by such waiver or consent and shall be delivered to the other Members in the manner described in Section 11.1.
Section 11.5    Severability. Except as otherwise provided in the succeeding sentence, every term and provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable, and if any term or provision of this Agreement is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the legality or validity of the remainder of this Agreement. The preceding sentence shall be of no force or effect if the consequence of enforcing the remainder of this Agreement without such illegal or invalid terms or provision would be to cause any Party to lose the benefit of its economic bargain.
Section 11.6    Successors; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Members and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall provide any benefit to any third party or entitle any third party to any claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind, it being the intent of the Members that this Agreement shall not be construed as a third-party beneficiary contract. To the full extent permitted by law, no creditor or other third party having dealings with the Company shall have the right to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and may be enforced solely by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the rights of the Members herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Company shall be deemed an asset of the Company for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned by the Company or pledged or encumbered by the Company to secure any debt or other obligation of the Company or of any of the Members.
Section 11.7    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Annexes, Exhibits, and Schedules attached hereto (which are hereby incorporated by reference) or the

67
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


other agreements, and exhibits, annexes or schedules thereto expressly incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement of the Members with respect to the matters covered herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and oral understandings among the parties hereto with respect to such matters, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the 2012 Operating Agreement, and the 2013 Operating Agreement.
Section 11.8    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle that might refer the governance or construction of this Agreement to the law of another jurisdiction.
Section 11.9    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 reasonably required or useful to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and as are not inconsistent with the terms hereof.

(a)    Except as provided in Section 11.11(b) and Section 11.11(c), in the event a dispute, controversy or claim arises hereunder, the aggrieved party will promptly provide written notification of the dispute to the other party within 10 days after such dispute arises. A meeting will be held promptly between the parties, attended by representatives of the parties with decision-making authority regarding the dispute, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If the parties are not successful in resolving a dispute within 21 days, the parties will thereafter be entitled to pursue all such remedies as may be available to them; provided that the parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York county, New York or any state of federal court in the State of Delaware with respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

(b)    If any Class B Member disputes the determination that the Flip Date has occurred (including based on any item or procedure or calculation that affects such determination contained in any notice or report delivered to such Class B Member), such Class B Member shall

68
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


notify the other Members not more than 20 days after such Class B Member has received written notice from the Managing Member that the Flip Date was determined to have occurred. In such event, the Members shall consider the issues raised or in dispute and discuss such issues with each other and attempt to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. If notice of dispute is not given by any Class B Member within such period, the determination that the Flip Date has occurred, and the items, procedures and calculations described above relating thereto, will be final and binding on the Members. If the dispute as to the Managing Member’s calculations is not promptly resolved within ten Business Days of such notification of the dispute, the Class B Member and the Managing Member shall each promptly present their interpretations to an Independent Accounting Firm, and shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to determine the correct amount of the calculations in dispute (if applicable, in accordance with the methodology in Sections 6.5 or 7.1) and to resolve the dispute promptly, but in no event more than twenty Business Days after having the dispute submitted to it. The Independent Accounting Firm will make a determination as to each of the items in dispute, which must be (i) in writing, (ii) furnished to each Member and (iii) made in accordance with this Agreement, and which determination, absent manifest error, will be conclusive and binding on all Members, taking into account Sections 6.5(b) and (c). Each Member shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render its decision as soon as reasonably practicable, including by promptly complying with all reasonable requests by the Independent Accounting Firm for information, books, records and similar items. In the event the Independent Accounting Firm determines that any of the calculations in dispute was incorrect in any material respect, the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by Class A Members (pro rata in proportion to their Percentage Interests). In all other cases the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Class B Member disputing any of the calculations (if more than one, pro rata in proportion to their Percentage Interests). This Section 11.11(b) shall apply to any dispute brought under Section 7.6 hereof, mutatis mutandis.
(c)    If Mehetia disputes the amount or determination of any Repurchase Distributions, the Supplemental Buyout Capital Contribution, Cash Distributions, or Compensatory Distributions (including based on any item or procedure or calculation that affects such determination contained in any notice or report delivered to Mehetia, including the calculation and determination of the Current Buyout Amount (including the amount of the Supplemental Buyout Capital Contribution)), Mehetia shall notify the other Members in writing not more than 20 days after Mehetia has received written notice from the Managing Member, setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Notice”), which statement will identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which Mehetia objects (the “Disputed Amounts”). After the delivery of an Objections Notice, a meeting shall be held promptly between Mehetia and the Managing Member, attended by representatives of each of them with decision-making authority regarding the dispute, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute and each Disputed Amount. If Mehetia and the Managing Member do not reach a final resolution within 20 days after the delivery of the Objections Notice Mehetia and the Managing Member will submit any unresolved Disputed Amounts to the Independent Accounting Firm. In such an

69
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


event, each of Mehetia and the Managing Member will submit their calculations and their position in the applicable report in which was originally delivered to Mehetia with the Disputed Amounts, with respect to the unresolved Disputed Amounts (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), provided that each such report shall not be more favorable to the submitting party as was the initial report delivered to Mehetia or the Objections Notice (as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate, to the Independent Accounting Firm within 20 days after the date on which such unresolved Disputed Amounts were submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution, it being agreed that each of Mehetia and the Managing Member will make their respective submission contemporaneously, and with a copy to the other. Each of Mehetia and the Managing Member will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve all Disputed Amounts submitted to it as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the date on which the Independent Accounting Firm is referred the dispute. The Independent Accounting Firm will resolve such dispute by choosing, in its entirety, the report and calculations proposed by either Mehetia or the Managing Member, and will make no other resolution of such dispute. The report and calculations selected by the Independent Accounting Firm will be final, binding and non appealable by Mehetia or the Managing Member. Each of Mehetia and the Managing Member will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Independent Accounting Firm. The costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be paid by the party whose report and calculations is not chosen by the Independent Accounting Firm in its resolution of the dispute. For the avoidance of doubt, if any amount or calculation can be disputed pursuant to this Section 11.11(c) and under Section 2.3(b) of the Repurchase Agreement, Mehetia may only cause a dispute to be brought under the Repurchase Agreement or under this Agreement; provided, for clarity, if Mehetia causes the Managing Member to cause the Project Company to dispute an amount under the Repurchase Agreement, but such amount does not fully resolve or is inconsistent with a Disputed Amount, Mehetia may bring such dispute hereunder.

In addition, each Member hereby acknowledges that the United States federal securities laws and applicable European securities laws, among other things, prohibit certain persons in possession of material, non-public information concerning companies or securities

71
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


from buying or selling securities issued by those companies or disclosing that material, non-public information to others who buy or sell those securities while in possession of that information (or disclose that information to others who buy or sell). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties and their respective Representatives may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal income tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except where confidentiality is reasonably necessary to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to facts relevant to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transaction and does not include information relating to the identity of the Parties, their affiliates, agents or advisors.
Section 11.13    Joint Efforts. To the full extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, neither this Agreement nor any ambiguity or uncertainty herein will be construed against any of the parties hereto, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been prepared by the joint efforts of the respective attorneys for, and has been reviewed by, each of the parties hereto.
Section 11.14    Specific Performance. The Members agree that irreparable damage will result if this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and the Members agree that any damages available at law for a breach of this Agreement would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, to the full extent permitted by law, the provisions hereof and the obligations of the Members hereunder shall be enforceable in a court of equity, or other tribunal with jurisdiction, by a decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies that a Member may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
Section 11.15    Survival. All indemnities and reimbursement obligations made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive dissolution and liquidation of the Company until expiration of the longest applicable statute of limitations (including extensions and waivers) with respect to the matter for which a Person would be entitled to be indemnified or reimbursed, as the case may be.

In each case the policies must be with insurance carriers with a rating of at least A- and a financial size category of at least X by A.M. Best or A by S&P or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Class B Members.
The policies specified in Appendix 1 of this Schedule shall be in full force and effect at all times on and after the Original Date until the LLC Agreement Termination Date subject to renewal no more frequently than annually.
At no time shall there be any gap in cover.
The policy limits and cover of the insurances required in this Schedule shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements set forth in the Company LLC Agreement, but in no event less than the limits and coverage provisions set forth in Appendix 1 herein. The obligation to verify that the insurance meets the requirements of the Company LLC Agreement shall rest solely with the Company.
The Managing Member shall not violate or permit to be violated any condition, provision or requirement of any insurance policy required by this Schedule, and the Managing Member shall cause Company to perform, satisfy, and comply with all conditions, provisions and requirements of all insurance policies.
The Managing Member hereby waives any and every claim for recovery against Class B Members or their directors, officers and employees and agents for any and all loss or damage covered by any insurance policies to be maintained under this Schedule to the extent such loss or damage is recovered under any such policy.
All policies of insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Schedule, other than cover required by law, shall be endorsed such that if at any time they are cancelled, lapsed, terminated or suspended (by any party including the insuring parties), such cancellation, lapse, termination or suspension shall not become effective until at least 30 days after receipt by Class B Members from such insurer of such cancellation, lapse, termination or suspension, except for non-payment of premium for which the required written notice shall be 10 days. In addition to this requirement, the Managing Member shall inform the Class B Members as soon as reasonably possible if it becomes aware of any such cancellation, lapse, termination or suspension or of any reasonable prospect of such and shall further require the Company’s broker to do the same.

DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


All policies of insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Schedule, except workers compensation and employers liability, shall provide: Additional Insured status for Class B Members and their respective affiliates, directors, officers and employees and agents (collectively, the “Additional Insureds”).

Policies either (a) non-cancellable except for non-payment of premium with at least 10 days written notice of such to the Class B Members; or (b) cancellation/non-payment provisions in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule.
Class B Members will have the right but not the obligation to pay premiums on behalf of the Company in case of non-payment.
Policies shall be unaffected by any bankruptcy or foreclosure relating to the Managing Member, the Company or the Project Company.
Insurance shall be primary and not excess to or contributing with any other insurance or self-insurance maintained by the Managing Member, the Company, or the Additional Insureds. However, policies can act in excess of such project-specific policies provided by contractors in accordance with the requirements of this Schedule.
Insurer shall not permit the Managing Member to reduce limits or cover or degrade terms and conditions without the prior written approval of the Class B Members.
The Additional Insureds shall have no obligations whatsoever including, but not limited to, no obligation to pay premiums and no obligation to pay deductibles.

A clause requiring the insurer to make final payment on any claim within thirty days after the submission of proof of loss and its acceptance by the insurer.

DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


The above requirements shall be referred to as the “Required Provisions”. The Required Provisions can be provided either as endorsements to or in the main body of the relevant policy. All policies that replace or renew policies shall contain provisions, including limits, sublimits, deductibles, exclusions and the Required Provisions, that are, mutatis mutandis, in all material regards at least the same as those in place at the Original Date or, if later, the date of first inception of such policy cover, except in relation to risks where exposure no longer exists or where a better level of cover is provided or which would be required in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule.
The Managing Member shall provide Class B Members as soon as reasonably possible prior to the Initial Funding Date, and at least 10 days prior to any subsequent policy inception or renewal, a certificate of pre-agreed format from:
Each placing broker confirming:
o
Summary policy terms in the pre-agreed format.
o
That all policies required by this Schedule are in full force and effect.
o
All insurance premiums that are due and payable have been paid in full with no premium overdue.
There shall be appended to such certificate or letter of undertaking certificates from insurers for each policy required by this Schedule listing the major sublimits (to be agreed) and confirming that all Required Provisions that apply to such policy are in place.
The Insurance Consultant (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) confirming that:
o
The insurance provided complies with the requirements of this Schedule and further complies with the requirements of the Managing Member in the Transaction Documents.
o
That the undertakings made by each placing broker conform to the requirements of prudent industry practice.
The insurance provided by the Company shall be at least that evidenced in any certificates or other evidence provided by the Company or the Project Company.
Any of the requirements of this Schedule can be satisfied by single or by combined policies. However, as would be deemed necessary in accordance with prudent industry practice, a joint loss agreement will be required and included as part of the respective policies (for example, if there were separate marine transit and builders all-risk policies, then a 50:50 clause would be required).
If in the opinion of the Managing Member, acting reasonably, any insurance, including the terms and conditions, Required Provisions and limits or deductibles thereof, hereby required by this Schedule to be maintained, other than insurance required to be maintained by law which shall be maintained at all times, shall not be available on commercially reasonable terms in the commercial insurance market, the Managing Member shall promptly inform the Class B Members of such purported unavailability and the Managing Member shall seek a waiver from Class B Members in relation to such purported unavailability in which case the Class B Members, acting after consultation with the Insurance Consultant, shall not unreasonably withhold agreement to waive such requirement to the extent the maintenance thereof is not so available. The granting by Class B Members of any such waiver is conditional on: (i) the Managing Member first requesting such waiver in writing, which request shall be accompanied by written reports prepared by the Company

- 5 -
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


and its placing broker certifying that such insurance is not available on commercially reasonable terms in the commercial insurance market for projects of similar type and capacity and, in any case where the required amount is not so available, certifying as to the maximum amount which is so available, and explaining in detail the basis for such conclusions and the form and substance of such reports to be reasonably acceptable to the Class B Members after consultation with the Insurance Consultant; (ii) at any time after the granting of any such waiver, the Class B Members may request, and the Managing Member furnish to the Class B Members within fifteen (15) days after such request, supplemental reports reasonably acceptable to the Class B Members updating the prior reports and reaffirming such conclusion; (iii) any such waiver granted by the Class B Members can amend, to the extent reasonably required to mitigate any increased risks created by the absence of insurance cover that is the subject of the waiver, any of the terms of this Schedule; (iv) the Class B Members may require the Company to obtain the best available insurance comparable to the requirements of this Schedule on commercially reasonable terms then available in the commercial insurance market (as determined by the Insurance Consultant); and (v) such waiver shall be effective only so long as such insurance shall not be available on commercially reasonable terms in the commercial insurance market (as determined by the Insurance Consultant) it being understood that the failure of the Managing Member to furnish any supplemental reports shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence that such waiver is no longer effective because such condition no longer exists, but that such failure is not the only way to establish such non-existence.
The policy teams actually provided in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule shall be at least those evidenced to the Company.
Any failure on the part of Class B Members to pursue or obtain the evidence of insurance required by this Schedule from the Managing Member and/or failure to point out any noncompliance of such evidence of insurance shall not constitute a waiver of any of the insurance requirements in this Schedule.
Each liability insurance policy required pursuant to this Schedule that is permitted to be written on a “claims made” basis shall provide (a) a retroactive date (as such term is specified in each of such policies) that is no later than the Original Date and (b) each time any policy written on a “claims made” basis is not renewed or the retroactive date of such policy is to be changed, the Company shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained or maintained, for each such policy or policies the broadest extended reporting period coverage, or “tail”, reasonably available in the commercial insurance market for each such policy or policies but in no case less than three (3) years. The Company may satisfy the requirements of this Schedule by obtaining “prior acts” coverage from a subsequent insurance carrier on terms acceptable to the Class B Members, acting reasonably.
All property insurance including marine cargo and any time element insurance shall not include any annual or term aggregate limits or sublimits except for the perils of windstorm, flood, earth movement and land and water decontamination but only to the extent permitted in Appendix 1 to this Schedule. Liability policies may have general aggregate limits in accordance with prudent insurance market practice.

- 6 -
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


All insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to this Schedule shall contain terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Class B Members following consultation with the Insurance Consultant.
In the event that at any time the insurance as herein provided or as evidenced shall be reduced or cease to be maintained, then the Class B Members, upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice (unless such insurance coverage would lapse within such period, in which event notice should be given as soon as reasonably possible) to the Company of any such failure, may (but shall not be obligated to) take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same. All amounts so advanced for such purpose shall become an additional obligation of the Company to the Class B Members and the Company shall forthwith pay such amounts (as provided in the Company LLC Agreement, if any).
The Class B Members can, acting reasonably, require such additional cover to be provided as is required to confirm to prudent industry practice.
The Class B Members shall have the option to be present and/or to send representatives during meetings and/or negotiations with insurers of any loss settlement in relation to the Company or the Project regarding (a) total constructive loss or any scenario in which repair/replacement will not follow loss, (b) any circumstance involving a claim in relation to an event or series of events which has or could be reasonably expected to lead to a default under any Transaction Documents or material contracts. Neither the Managing Member nor any of its Affiliates shall be permitted to settle any such claim with an insurer without the approval of the Class B Members to the agreed settlement.
The Class B Members may, pursuant to its rights and obligations under this Schedule, consult with the Insurance Consultant and require reports, compliance certificates and other work product from the Insurance Consultant.
Terms used in this Schedule, unless otherwise specifically defined herein or in the Company LLC Agreement, shall have the meaning normally ascribed to them in accordance with prudent industry practice in relation to a project similar in type and jurisdiction as the Project.
