(a)Depositary Agent hereby agrees and confirms that it has established the Depositary Accounts as set forth and defined in this Agreement. Collateral Agent, Depositary Agent and Borrower hereby agree that (i) each Depositary Account established by Depositary Agent is and will be maintained as a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC); (ii) Borrower is the sole “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) in respect of the “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC, the “Financial Assets”) credited to the Depositary Accounts; (iii) all Financial Assets in registered form or payable to or to the order of and credited to any Depositary Account shall be registered in the name of, payable to or to the order of, or specially endorsed to, Depositary Agent or in blank, or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of Depositary Agent; and (iv) in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any Depositary Account be registered in the name of, payable to or to the order of, or endorsed to, Borrower except to the extent the foregoing have been subsequently endorsed by Borrower to Depositary Agent or in blank. Depositary Agent agrees that each item of Property (including a security, security entitlement, investment property, instrument or obligation, share, participation, interest or other property

whatsoever) credited to any Depositary Account shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be treated as a Financial Asset.

(b)Until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3 following payment in full of the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans and all other Obligations and termination of all Commitments, Collateral Agent shall have “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d)(2) or Section 9-104(a) (as applicable) of the UCC) of, and shall be entitled to provide “entitlement orders” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) with respect to, the Depositary Accounts and of Borrower’s “security entitlements” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) with respect to the Financial Assets credited to the Depositary Accounts.

Borrower hereby irrevocably directs, and Depositary Agent (in its capacity as securities intermediary) hereby irrevocably agrees, that Depositary Agent will comply with all instructions and orders (including “entitlement orders” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) regarding each Depositary Account and any Financial Asset held therein or credited thereto originated by Collateral Agent without the further consent of Borrower or any other Person. In the case of a conflict between any instruction or order originated by Collateral Agent and any instruction or order originated by Borrower or any other Person (other than a court of competent jurisdiction), the instruction or order originated by Collateral Agent shall prevail. Depositary Agent shall not change the name or account number of any Depositary Account without prior written consent of Collateral Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and at least five (5) Business Days prior notice to Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Borrower, except for changes due to changes of Depositary Agent’s internal systems (and Depositary Agent shall promptly notify Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent of such changes in writing), and shall not change the entitlement holder with respect to the Financial Assets credited thereto.

(c)To the extent any Depositary Account is determined not to qualify as a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC), such Depositary Account shall be deemed to be a “deposit account” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC), which Borrower shall maintain with Depositary Agent acting not as a securities intermediary but as a “bank” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC) pursuant to Section 2.1(a). Depositary Agent shall credit the Depositary Accounts with all receipts of interest, dividends and other income received on the Property on deposit in or credited to the Depositary Accounts.

Section 1.5Jurisdiction of Depositary Agent. Borrower, Collateral Agent and Depositary Agent agree that, for purposes of the UCC, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other agreement relating to the establishment and operation of the Depositary Accounts, the jurisdiction of Depositary Agent (in its capacity as securities intermediary and bank) is the State of New York and the laws of the State of New York govern the establishment and operation of the Depositary Accounts. As permitted by Article 4 of the Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary, July 5,

2006, T.I.A.S. No. 17,401 (entered into force April 1, 2017) (the “Hague Convention”), the parties hereby agree that the law applicable to all the issues in Article 2(1) of the Hague Convention is the law in force in the State of New York. The parties agree that the foregoing sentence amends any applicable customer agreement that could comprise part of an account agreement governing the Accounts. The Depositary Agent represents that, as of the Closing Date, it has an office in the United States which in the ordinary course of business maintains securities accounts for others.

Section 1.6Degree of Care; Liens. Depositary Agent shall exercise the same degree of care in administering the funds held in the Depositary Accounts and, subject to Section 3.15, the investments purchased with such funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as Depositary Agent exercises in the ordinary course of its day-to-day business in administering other funds and investments for its own accounts and as required by applicable Legal Requirements. Depositary Agent is not party to and shall not execute and deliver, or otherwise become bound by, any agreement (other than this Agreement) under which Depositary Agent agrees with any Person other than Collateral Agent to comply with entitlement orders or instructions originated by such Person relating to any of the Depositary Accounts or the security entitlements that are the subject of this Agreement. Subject to the proviso in the last sentence of Section 2.7, Depositary Agent shall not accept any Lien on any Financial Asset, other than any Liens granted to Collateral Agent under the Security Documents, and shall, if such a Lien is nevertheless created as a result of the action or inaction of Depositary Agent, cause the prompt release or discharge of the same following receipt of written direction from Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Administrative Agent).

Section 1.7Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that Depositary Agent has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a Lien on any Depositary Account or in any Account Collateral, Depositary Agent agrees that such Lien shall (except to the extent provided in the next sentence) be subordinate to any Liens of Collateral Agent. The Financial Assets or funds standing to the credit of the Depositary Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, counter-claim, banker’s lien or any other right in favor of Depositary Agent or any Person other than Collateral Agent; provided, however, that Depositary Agent may set off all amounts due to Depositary Agent in respect of its fees and expenses for the maintenance and operation of the Depositary Accounts and its services hereunder, including the fees and expenses referred to in Section 4.5, overdraft fees, and the face amount of any checks or other items which have been credited to the Depositary Accounts but are subsequently returned unpaid or otherwise reversed for any reason.

Section 1.8No Other Agreements. None of Depositary Agent, Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or Borrower has entered or will enter into any agreement with respect to any Depositary Account or any other Account Collateral, other than this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents.

Section 1.9Notice of Adverse Claims. Depositary Agent hereby represents that, except for the claims and interests of Collateral Agent and Borrower in each of the Depositary Accounts, Depositary Agent, (a) as of the Closing Date, has no knowledge of, and has received no notice of, and (b) as of each date on which any Depositary Account is established pursuant to this Agreement, has received no notice of, any claim to, or interest in, any Depositary Account or in any other Account Collateral. If any Person (other than Collateral Agent) asserts any Lien (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any Depositary Account or in any other Account Collateral, Depositary Agent, upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof, will, promptly, notify Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Borrower thereof.

Section 1.10Rights and Powers of Collateral Agent. The rights and powers granted to Collateral Agent by the Credit Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the Security Documents have been granted in order to, among other things, perfect the Collateral Agent’s Liens for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Depositary Accounts and the other Account Collateral and to otherwise act as the agent of the Secured Parties with respect to the matters contemplated hereby.

Section 1.11Administrative Agent. Collateral Agent (on behalf of the other Secured Parties) hereby authorizes and directs Depositary Agent to act at the written direction, or on the written instructions, of Administrative Agent with respect to withdrawals, transfers and payments from and to the Depositary Accounts or as otherwise specified herein, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 1.12Receipt of Certain Funds; Unidentified Funds. If any Agent receives directly any amount that is payable to a Depositary Account (due to such amount not being paid directly to the applicable Depositary Account), such Agent (in the case of Depositary Agent, at the direction of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) shall deposit such amount into the applicable Depositary Account, and the obligation of Borrower to deposit such amount into such Depositary Account shall be deemed satisfied upon such deposit. To the extent any Obligor, including any Project Company, receives any Loss Proceeds, Project Payment Proceeds or Title Event Proceeds, Borrower promptly shall, and shall cause such other Obligor, to deposit such amounts into the applicable Depositary Account hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein but subject to Section 2.4, if Depositary Agent receives directly any amount that is not sufficiently identified or is not accompanied with adequate instructions as to which Depositary Account such amount is to be deposited, Depositary Agent shall deposit such funds into (i) on or prior to the Term Conversion Date, the Construction Account for the Project to which such amount relates (or, if the foregoing is unclear, then to the Pre-Term Conversion Revenue Account), and (ii) after the Term Conversion Date, the Revenue Account and, in each case, notify Borrower, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent of the receipt of such funds. Subject to Section 3.14(a), upon receipt of written instructions from Borrower, countersigned by Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent), Depositary Agent shall transfer such funds from the applicable Construction Account, Pre-Term Conversion Revenue Account or the Revenue Account, as applicable, to the Depositary Account specified by such instructions. Subject to Section 3.14(a), if any funds are deposited in the wrong Depositary Account, Depositary Agent shall promptly transfer such funds to the correct Depositary Account upon receipt of written instructions from Borrower (with copy to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent).

If on or prior to any Business Day on which disbursements are required to be made from the O&M Account, the Interest Payment Account, or the Principal Payment Account in accordance with Section 3.4, Section 3.5 or Section 3.6, as applicable, amounts on deposit therein or credited thereto are not sufficient to make such disbursements (an “Anticipated Shortfall”), Depositary Agent shall, at the written direction of Administrative Agent received by Depositary Agent no later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the transfer date specified in such direction, transfer funds as follows to the O&M Account, the Interest Payment Account or the Principal Payment Account, as applicable, to cover such Anticipated Shortfall:

provided that, to the extent funds to be transferred pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) above are not sufficient to cover the entire amount of such Anticipated Shortfall, such funds shall be transferred, first, to the O&M Account until the insufficiency in such Depositary Account is covered; second, to the Interest Payment Account until the insufficiency in such Depositary Account is covered; and, third, to the Principal Payment Account; provided, however, that any amounts withdrawn from the Debt Service Reserve Account may be applied solely to satisfy a Debt Payment Deficiency and shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.8(e)(A) and (B).

If on or prior to any Business Day on which disbursements are required to be made from the applicable Construction Account in accordance with Section 3.1(b)(i) (but solely to the extent necessary to pay Pre-Conversion O&M Costs) or Section 3.1(b)(ii), as applicable, the amounts on deposit therein or credited thereto are not sufficient to make the specified disbursements under Section 3.1(b)(i) (but solely to the extent necessary to pay Pre-Conversion O&M Costs) or clauses (A) through (F) of Section 3.1(b)(ii), as applicable (an “Anticipated Construction Funds Shortfall”), Depositary Agent shall, at the written direction of Administrative Agent received by Depositary Agent no later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the transfer date specified in such direction, transfer funds from the Pre-Term Conversion Revenue Account to the applicable Construction Account to cover such Anticipated Construction Funds Shortfall.

Section 1.15Permitted Account Investments.

(a)Unless otherwise instructed in writing by Borrower and subject to Section 3.17, all Cash deposited in the Depositary Accounts shall be invested by Depositary Agent in Cash or Cash Equivalents as specifically directed by Borrower (or, following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Trigger Event, Collateral Agent (acting at the written instruction of the Administrative Agent)). Borrower (or, following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Trigger Event, Collateral Agent (acting at the written instruction of the Administrative Agent)) shall select Cash or Cash Equivalents that will mature in such amounts and not later than such times as may be necessary to provide funds when needed to make payments from such funds as provided in this Agreement. Borrower’s (or, following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Trigger Event, Collateral Agent’s) right to direct the manner of investment includes the

right (i) to direct Depositary Agent to sell any Cash Equivalents or hold it until maturity and, (ii) upon any sale or maturity of any Cash Equivalent, to direct Depositary Agent to reinvest the proceeds thereof, plus any interest received by Depositary Agent thereon, in Cash Equivalents or to hold such proceeds and interest for application pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, net interest or gain received, if any, from such Cash Equivalents shall be deposited into the applicable Depositary Account. Absent willful misconduct or gross negligence of Depositary Agent, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, Borrower shall bear all risk of loss of capital from investments in Cash Equivalents, which loss shall be charged to the applicable Depositary Account, and, subject to Section 4.1, Depositary Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment made pursuant to this Agreement, or for any loss resulting from the sale of any such investment or from the selection of such investment (including whether any investment made qualified under the definition of “Cash Equivalents”). It is agreed and understood that the entity serving as Depositary Agent may earn fees associated with the investments outlined above in accordance with the terms of such investments. In no event shall Depositary Agent be deemed an investment manager or adviser in respect of any selection of investments hereunder. It is understood and agreed that Depositary Agent or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in Depositary Agent’s economic self-interest for (1) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the investments, (2) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain investments, and (3) effecting transactions in investments.

(b)Absent written instructions from Borrower, Depositary Agent shall hold the amounts in the Depositary Accounts under this Agreement in cash and such amounts shall not earn interest. In the event that at any time amounts are funded into a Depositary Account after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, Depositary Agent shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest such amounts until the next Business Day.

(c)If and when cash is required for the making of any withdrawal or transfer in accordance with this Agreement (it being understood that cash shall not be required for any transfer between Depositary Accounts unless Cash Equivalents do not exist in the Depositary Account from which funds are being transferred in appropriate amounts in order to permit such transfer), Borrower shall cause Cash Equivalents to be sold or otherwise liquidated into cash (without regard to maturity) as and to the extent necessary in order to make such withdrawals or transfers. Subject to Section 3.17, Depositary Agent shall comply with any instruction from Borrower with respect to any such liquidation of Cash Equivalents. In the event any such investments are so redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, neither Depositary Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable for any loss or penalties relating thereto.

(d)For purposes of determining responsibility for any income Taxes payable on account of any income or gain on any Cash or Cash Equivalents hereunder, such income or gain shall be for the account of Borrower. Borrower shall provide Depositary Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, and such other forms and documents that Depositary Agent may reasonably request (and Depositary Agent’s obligation to invest amounts in the Depositary Accounts is conditioned upon receipt thereof by Depositary Agent from

Borrower). Such forms shall, to the extent necessary, be updated as required by the Internal Revenue Service and provided to Depositary Agent. Borrower understands that if such tax reporting documentation is not provided and certified to Depositary Agent, Depositary Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of the funds held in the Depositary Accounts. Depositary Agent shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of legal counsel (which may be counsel to Borrower) in connection with the reporting of any earnings with respect hereto. In no event shall Depositary Agent be liable or responsible for the payment of taxes on any income earned on the Depositary Accounts or for income reporting with respect to income earned on the Depositary Accounts or any other tax reporting. Borrower shall pay or reimburse Depositary Agent upon request for any transfer taxes or other taxes relating to the Depositary Accounts actually incurred in connection herewith and shall indemnify and hold harmless Depositary Agent in respect of any amounts that Depositary Agent has paid in the way of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Depositary Agent shall have no duty to prepare or file any Federal or state tax report or return with respect to any funds held pursuant to this Agreement or any income earned thereon, except for the delivery and filing of tax information reporting forms required to be delivered and filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Borrower agrees that, for tax reporting purposes, the funds held pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be the property of Borrower and all interest and other income from investment of such funds shall, as of the end of each calendar year and to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service, be reported as having been earned by Borrower, whether or not such income was disbursed during such calendar year.

Section 1.16Account Balance Statements. Depositary Agent shall provide Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent read-only access to its online bank statements and transaction activities reports with respect to each Depositary Account, subject to Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent providing any reasonable information to Depositary Agent that is needed to establish such Person with access to such online system. Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent waive the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions effected by Depositary Agent as they occur, to the extent permitted by law. Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent further acknowledge that trade confirmations for securities transactions effected by Depositary Agent will be available upon request and at no additional cost, and other trade confirmations may be obtained from the applicable broker.

Section 1.17Application of Funds upon a Trigger Event.

(a)On and after any date on which Depositary Agent receives written notice from Collateral Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that Collateral Agent has been authorized to exercise remedies with respect to one or more of the Depositary Accounts pursuant to the Credit Agreement (such exercise, a “Trigger Event” and the date of Depositary Agent’s receipt of such notice, the “Trigger Event Date”), notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Depositary Agent shall thereafter accept all notices and instructions required or permitted to be given to Depositary Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only from Collateral Agent and not from Borrower or any other Person, and Depositary Agent shall not withdraw, transfer, pay or otherwise disburse any amounts in any of the Depositary Accounts except pursuant to such notices and instructions from Collateral Agent, unless and until Depositary Agent has received written notice from Collateral Agent that such

Trigger Event no longer exists due to such Event of Default having been waived, cured or is otherwise no longer existing (as confirmed in writing by Administrative Agent) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, in which event the terms of this Section 3.17(a) and Sections 3.17(b) and 3.17(c) shall thereafter be inapplicable to such Trigger Event.

(b)Within three (3) Business Days of a Trigger Event Date, Depositary Agent shall render a statement of all amounts in the Depositary Accounts as of such Trigger Event Date to Collateral Agent.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after a Trigger Event Date until the applicable Trigger Event no longer exists as notified to Depositary Agent in accordance with clause (a) above, Collateral Agent shall (acting at the direction of Administrative Agent) apply all amounts on deposit in or credited to the Depositary Accounts (including with respect to the investment of such amounts), and to otherwise deal with the Account Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the Loan Documents and without the need for the consent of, or any other action by, Borrower or any other Person.

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, after any date on which Depositary Agent receives written notice from Collateral Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and until the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Depositary Agent shall thereafter continue to apply amounts pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (other than Section 3.12(b), 3.13(b) and 3.17(a) hereof).

Whenever in the administration of this Agreement Depositary Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a factual or legal matter be proved or established in connection with Depositary Agent taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved or established by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Borrower or a certificate of a senior officer of Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, if appropriate, or from a legal opinion from counsel to Borrower.

(d)If any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Agreement, or Depositary Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, Depositary Agent may, at its option, after sending written notice of the same to Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent and Borrower, refuse to act until such time as it (a) receives a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing delivery of the Account Collateral or (b) receives a written instruction, executed by each of the parties involved in such disagreement or dispute, in a form reasonably acceptable to Depositary Agent, directing delivery of the Account Collateral. Depositary Agent will be entitled to act on any such written instruction or final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction without further question, inquiry or consent. Depositary Agent may file an interpleader action in a state or federal court, and upon the filing thereof, Depositary Agent will be relieved of all liability as to the Account Collateral and will be entitled to recover reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such interpleader action.

(e)Depositary Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, legal counsel, custodians or nominees appointed with due care; provided that (i) Depositary Agent’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) Depositary Agent shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations (provided that the Depositary Agent shall not be liable for any negligence or misconduct of an agent or nominee appointed with due care) and (iii) Borrower, the Independent Engineer, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with Depositary Agent in connection with Depositary Agent’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(f)Neither Depositary Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted under this Agreement or in connection therewith, or errors in judgment made, in good faith, except to the extent caused by Depositary Agent’s or such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Depositary Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Trigger Event unless a Trust Officer of Depositary Agent shall have received written notice thereof as provided herein. The rights, privileges, protections and benefits given to Depositary Agent, including its rights to be indemnified, are extended to, and

shall be enforceable by, Depositary Agent in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed by Depositary Agent in accordance herewith to act hereunder.

(g)Depositary Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any event beyond the control of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, pandemics, epidemics, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility.

(h)In no event shall the Depositary Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Depositary Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 1.2Reliance by Depositary Agent. Depositary Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon and shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any written direction, instruction or certificate of Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or the Independent Engineer or any other notice or other document (including any electronic transmission) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Depositary Agent and shall have no liability for its actions taken thereupon, unless due to Depositary Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Depositary Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Operative Document or any other document or agreement contemplated hereby or thereby. Depositary Agent shall have no obligation to request the deposit of any funds referenced herein into the Depositary Accounts. Depositary Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to review, verify and/or confirm any receipts, invoices, calculations or other documentation that accompanies any of the certificates required to be delivered to Depositary Agent herein. Depositary Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement (a) if such action would, in the reasonable opinion of Depositary Agent, be contrary to applicable law or the terms of this Agreement, (b) if such action is not specifically provided for in this Agreement, it shall not have received any such advice or concurrence of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as it deems appropriate and shall so request, or (c) if, in connection with the taking of any such action, that would constitute an exercise of remedies under this Agreement that is not specifically provided for in this Agreement, it shall not first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against any and all liability and expense (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Depositary Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of a Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent or one or more other Secured Parties (to the extent such other Secured Parties are authorized pursuant to the Loan Documents to direct Depositary Agent to take or refrain from taking any action), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Secured Parties.

Section 1.3Court Orders.

parties hereto or any of the Secured Parties or their successors, heirs or personal representatives by reason of Depositary Agent’s compliance with such writs, orders, judgments or decrees, notwithstanding such writ, order, judgment or decree is later reversed, modified, set aside or vacated.

Section 1.4Resignation or Removal.

(a)Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Depositary Agreement as provided below, Depositary Agent may resign at any time by notifying Borrower and each other Agent. Depositary Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) upon written notice to Depositary Agent, Collateral Agent, and Borrower. Upon any such resignation or removal, Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall have the right to appoint a successor with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Depositary Agent gives notice of its resignation or Administrative Agent gives notice of Depositary Agent’s removal, then the retiring or removed Depositary Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, (i) apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor at the expense of Borrower or (ii) with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Depositary Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York (or a bank having an Affiliate with such an office) having a combined capital and surplus that is not less than $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. After Depositary Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article IV shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Depositary Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Depositary Agent hereunder by the successor Depositary Agent, (i) such successor Depositary Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Depositary Agent, and the retiring or removed Depositary Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and (ii) the retiring or removed Depositary Agent shall, at the written direction of the Borrower and upon payment of its charges and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, promptly transfer all Account Collateral and any other Property deposited in the Depositary Accounts and within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Depositary Agent and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be necessary or desirable to effect such transfer. After the retiring or removed Depositary Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Depositary Agent, the retiring or removed Depositary Agent shall act in good faith in the implementation of the succession.

(b)Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Person into which Depositary Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Depositary Agent is a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of Depositary Agent, shall be the successor of Depositary Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and will have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its

predecessor, without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, merger, conversion or consolidation. Depositary Agent shall forthwith notify the parties hereto in writing of any such event.

The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 4.6 shall be payable within thirty (30) days of the written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. This Section 4.6 shall not apply to Taxes. Each Indemnitee agrees to provide Borrower with written notice of a proposed compromise or settlement of any Subject Claim specifying in detail the nature and amount of such proposed settlement or compromise. Such Indemnitee shall consult with Borrower before compromising or settling such Subject Claim for at least thirty (30) days after Borrower receives

such notice of intended compromise or settlement and shall take into consideration any views or issues communicated by Borrower in connection with such compromise or settlement. Such Indemnitee shall act in good faith and reasonably, taking into account the interests of the Obligors, in agreeing to any compromise or settlement.

No claim shall be made by Depositary Agent against any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents for any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings, special or punitive damages or any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever in respect of any breach or wrongful conduct (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law), in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Operative Documents or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Secured Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor, in each case, except to the extent such claim is based on gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

Section 1.12No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure by any Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 1.13Survival of Agreements. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. All such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent, regardless of any investigation made by each Agent or on their behalf and notwithstanding that each Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time under any Loan.

certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with Depositary Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to Depositary Agent, upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable Depositary Agent to comply with Applicable AML Law.

connection with the [[Construction][Restoration] Requisition] delivered on [____ __, ____] by Borrower (the “Subject Requisition”).

The Independent Engineer’s review and observations were performed within the scope of work under the Professional Services Agreement by and between the Independent Engineer and Borrower, dated effective [●], (the “PSA”). This IE Requisition Certificate is solely for the information of and assistance to the Administrative Agent and Depositary Agent in connection with their review of the Subject Requisition and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose. The Independent Engineer disclaims any obligation to update this Certificate. This Certificate is not intended to, and may not, be construed to benefit any party other than the Administrative Agent and Depositary Agents. The Independent Engineer has discussed matters set forth in this IE Requisition Certificate, where the Independent Engineer has deemed such discussions to be pertinent, with Borrower, EPC Contractor and appropriate third parties deemed appropriate, and has made such observations, site visits, reviews, examinations and investigations as the Independent Engineer believed were reasonably necessary to establish the accuracy of this IE Requisition Certificate. We have reviewed the Borrower’s most recent quarterly report describing the progress of the construction of the Project dated [●] (or such other monthly report(s) as relates to amounts requested under the Subject Requisition including as have been attached to such Subject Requisition, if applicable) delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.3(h) of the Credit Agreement and the most recent progress reports received from the Borrower and submitted by (i) the EPC Contractor dated [●] pursuant to the EPC Contract and (ii) any other contractor performing construction of the gas interconnection for the Project.

As a part of our due diligence for issuance of this Certificate, we conducted site visits consisting of a walk-through of the Project site. During the site visits we made above ground, visual, representative sample observations of selected areas which the Independent Engineer deemed adequate to comment on construction progress but were not in the detail which would be necessary to reveal conditions with respect to safety, geologic or environmental conditions, contract compliance, codes, permits or regulations applicable to the construction of the Project. Such efforts were performed in accordance with the scope of services under the PSA, generally accepted engineering practices, and the standards of care practiced by leading independent and consulting engineers in performing similar tasks, for similar scopes of service, on like projects. On these bases, the Independent Engineer last visited the Project on [ ] (the “Site Visit”).

On the basis of the foregoing and the scope of our review, with the understanding and assumption that the Independent Engineer has, in all material respects, been provided true, correct and complete information from such other parties as to the matters set forth herein, the Independent Engineer hereby makes the following certifications to Depositary Agent and Administrative Agent to the best of our knowledge and belief as of the date hereof:

[Insert for Construction Requisitions:

Exhibit B

[(b) The Available Construction Funds, as reported by Borrower in conjunction with the Subject Requisition, are not less than the aggregate unpaid amount required to cause the Substantial Completion Date to occur in accordance with the EPC Contracts prior to the Date Certain.

(c) Our review has not brought to our attention any material errors in the information recently delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.6(e)(i)-(ii) of the Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and such assumptions made therein within our scope of work are reasonable.

(d) [Our review has not brought to our attention any material errors in the information contained in the progress reports most recently delivered pursuant to Section 5.3(h) of the Credit Agreement.]27

[Insert for Restoration Requisitions:

(a) The amounts to be disbursed from the Restoration Account numbered [_____] pursuant to the Subject Requisition set forth on Schedule I to the Subject Requisition are [for costs and expenses associated with the applicable Restoration Action][to reimburse Borrower for Restoration Contributions applied to pay costs and expenses associated with the applicable Restoration Action].

(b) The payments made with respect to the Subject Requisition are in accordance with the applicable Restoration Plan, Restoration Budget and Restoration Schedule.

(c) The Restoration Action is reasonably expected to be completed within the period set forth in the Restoration Plan and Restoration Schedule.
