A Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by (i) the amount of cash distributed to the Member by the Company, (ii) the net value of any property distributed to the Member by the Company (i.e., the Fair Market Value of the property net of liabilities secured by the property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), (iii) the Member’s distributive share of Net Loss or other loss and deduction allocated in accordance with this Agreement, (iv) the net amount of any liabilities of such Member that are assumed by the Company or that are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company (without duplication of any liabilities taken into account in determining the amount of any increase in a Member’s Capital Account), and (v) an amount equal to an allocation of downward basis adjustment to such Member as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j), if any. The Members’ Capital Accounts shall be maintained and adjusted as required by the provisions of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.704-1(b)(4), including adjustments to reflect the allocations to the Members of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss as computed for book purposes rather than the allocation of the corresponding items as computed for tax purposes, as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(c) The Gross Asset Value of the Company’s property shall be revalued, and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be reset to reflect a revaluation as directed by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to the following events: (i) if any new or existing Member makes more than a de minimis Capital Contribution in exchange for a new or additional Membership Interest, (ii) if more than a de minimis amount of property is distributed by the Company to a Member to redeem all or any portion of its Membership Interest, or (iii) if the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); provided, however, that the adjustments pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be made only if the Manager reasonably determines that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members in the Company.

(d) For federal income tax purposes, each of the initial Members will be treated as acquiring an interest in a new partnership in exchange for its initial Capital Contribution on the Effective Date, and with respect to the February 2023 Subsequent Issuance and March 2023 Subsequent Issuance, Spring Lane will be treated as acquiring an interest in a partnership in exchange for its additional Capital Contribution on the date hereof. The Company will be an entity disregarded as separate from the Class A Member for federal income tax purposes prior to the admission of the Class B Members as Members of the Company.

(e) Following the Members’ initial Capital Contributions in accordance with the Contribution Agreement, the Capital Account balance and Percentage Interest of each Member are as shown in Schedule 4.2(d). The Manager shall update Schedule 4.2(d) from time to time. Any such updating will be consistent with the requirements regarding the maintenance of Capital Accounts set forth in this Article IV. 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.

23

(f) 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 shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent of the Membership Interest so Transferred.

(g) The Capital Accounts shall be maintained in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and the provisions regarding Capital Accounts in this Agreement will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulation or any successor provision.

ARTICLE V

ALLOCATIONS

Section 5.1 Allocations. Subject to Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, for each Fiscal Year or portion thereof, the Company’s Net Income or Net Losses (and, to the extent necessary, items thereof) shall be allocated among the Members in amounts that, as of the end of such Fiscal Year or other period, would result in Capital Account balances for each Member, increased by such Member’s share of partnership minimum gain (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)) and such Member’s partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2)), equal to all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(iv) in the priority and manner provided therein on a hypothetical liquidation of the Company. In determining the amounts distributable to the Members under Section 10.2(b)(iv) upon a hypothetical liquidation, it shall be presumed that (i) all of the Company’s remaining assets are sold at their respective Gross Asset Values, (ii) all Company liabilities are satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value securing that liability), (iii) all Membership Interests are vested and (iv) the proceeds of such hypothetical sale are applied and distributed in accordance with Section 6.1(a).

Section 5.2 Adjustments to Comply with Code. The manner in which Capital Accounts are to be maintained and in which the income, gain, loss, deductions and credits of the Company are to be allocated pursuant to this Agreement are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If, in the opinion of the Company’s accountants and subject to the consent of the Manager and the Requisite Class B Members, modifications are required in the manner in which Capital Accounts are to be maintained or the manner in which income, gain, deductions or losses, or items included therein, are to be allocated in order to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, such modifications shall be made, provided, however, that any change in the manner of maintaining Capital Accounts or allocating income, gain, deductions or losses, or items included therein, shall not materially alter the economic agreement between or among the Members as set forth in this Agreement.

24

Section 5.3 Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the allocations to the extent required to comply with the provisions of the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code relating to qualified income offset, minimum gain chargeback, minimum gain chargeback with respect to partner nonrecourse debt, allocations of nonrecourse deductions, allocations with respect to partner nonrecourse debt, limitations on allocations of losses that might cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, corrective allocations with respect to partnership non-compensatory options, and forfeiture allocations with respect to substantially nonvested partnership interests, and such provisions are hereby incorporated by reference and shall be applied to the allocation of profits and losses in the manner provided in the Treasury Regulations. The Manager may, with the consent of the Requisite Class B Members, adjust the subsequent allocations of Net Income and Net Losses to prevent distortion of the economic arrangement of a Member, as otherwise described in this Agreement, due to allocations resulting from the preceding sentence. Nonrecourse deductions (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)), tax credits, and other items the allocation of which cannot have economic effect shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interest. To the extent permitted by such Treasury Regulations, the allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3 in such year and subsequent years shall be further adjusted so that the cumulative effect of all the allocations shall be the same as if all such allocations were made pursuant to the allocation provisions of this Agreement without regard to this Section 5.3.

Section 5.4 Transfer or Change in Membership Interest. If 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 or other period in which the change or Transfer occurs, tax items 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 any method permitted by Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 706 of the Code (such as an interim closing of the books or a proration method) as determined by the Manager with the consent of the Requisite Class B Members.

Section 5.5 Tax Allocations.

(a) In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.5, taxable income and loss and all items thereof shall be allocated to the Members to the greatest extent practicable in a manner consistent with the manner set forth in Section 5.1 and Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.5 are solely for federal income tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(b) Section 704(c) of the Code. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

(c) Adjustments under Section 704(c) of the Code. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code.

25

(d) Decisions Relating to Section 704(c) of the Code. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 5.5, including the selection of any allocation method permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3, shall be made by the Manager with the consent of the Requisite Class B Members.

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS; PAYMENTS

Section 6.1 Distributions.

(a) Except as provided otherwise in Section 10.2, and subject to Section 6.2, Distributable Cash shall be distributed to the Members on each Distribution Date as follows:

(i) first, until the Project Capital Recovery Date, one hundred percent (100%) of the Distributable Cash received by the Company shall be distributed to the Class B Members on a pro rata basis until the Class B Members have received one hundred percent (100%) of such Member’s respective aggregate Capital Contributions;

(ii) second, from and after the Project Capital Recovery Date and through the Target Achievement Date, the Distributable Cash received by the Company shall be distributed ninety percent (90%) to the Class B Members, and ten percent (10%) to the Class A Member, until each of the Class B Members has received its Target Return;

(iii) after the Target Achievement Date, the portion of Distributable Cash received by the Company shall be distributed fifty percent (50%) to Spring Lane (or its respective assigns), and fifty percent (50%) to the Class A Member and Soluna (or their respective assigns) pro rata based on the amount of Membership Interests held by such Members.

(b) Distributions required to be made by operation of Section 6.1(a) shall be made by the Company on each Distribution Date, unless otherwise agreed with the Consent of the Members.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Member fails to make a Capital Contribution in accordance with Section 4.1(b) or otherwise is in material breach of any provision in this Agreement (such Member, a “Breaching Member”), and such breach is continuing, such Breaching Member (i) shall not be entitled to and shall forfeit any right to any distributions pursuant to this Section 6.1, and (ii) shall not be entitled to vote on any matters as a Member of the Company with respect to any Membership Interests held by such Breaching Member (for avoidance of doubt, the Membership Interests held by such Breaching Member shall not be included in either the numerator or denominator for determining whether the voting threshold for the Requisite Class B Members has been reached). Upon any breach, a non-Breaching Member shall promptly provide written notice to the Breaching Member and each other Member of such breach (“Breach Notice”). The Breaching Member shall have five (5) Business Days after such Breach Notice has been received by the Breaching Member to challenge such Breach Notice by providing written notice to the non-Breaching Members of such challenge (a “Breach Challenge”). Upon receipt of a Breach Challenge by the non-Breaching Member, the Members shall in good faith collaborate to resolve such dispute set forth in the Breach Challenge. If the Members cannot resolve such dispute within thirty (30) calendar days, the Members shall engage a third party mediator, acceptable to the Members, to resolve the dispute in a timely manner thereafter.

26

Section 6.2 Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.1, to the extent that the Manager, in its reasonable discretion, determines that the Company has sufficient current and projected cash flow to make Tax Distributions, the Company may make Tax Distributions quarterly to each Member. Tax Distributions pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be treated as advances of distributions to be made pursuant to Section 6.1 (including Section 10.2(b)) and credited against future distributions pursuant to Section 6.1 (including Section 10.2(b)). No Member shall be entitled to any Tax Distributions (or further Tax Distributions, as the case may be) during a Fiscal Year if such Member has already received cumulative distributions during such Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 6.1 or this Section 6.2 equal to or in excess of such Member’s Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Member shall be liable to return any Tax Distribution, even if the Tax Distributions made to such Member exceed the amount such Member could be entitled to receive under Section 6.1 (including Section 10.2(b)); provided such excess Tax Distribution shall be treated as an advance to such Member with respect to the next distributions in the distribution waterfall pursuant to Section 6.1. If the cumulative distributions made to any Member pursuant to Section 6.1 or this Section 6.2 with respect to a Fiscal Year is less than the Tax Amount of such Member for such Fiscal Year, the Company shall distribute the excess of the Tax Amount over such cumulative distributions to such Member within sixty (60) days following the filing of Internal Revenue Service Form 1065 by the Company for the Fiscal Year; provided, however, such Tax Distributions shall only be made to the extent the Company has sufficient cash and any shortfall in the Tax Distributions for any Fiscal Year shall be included in the Tax Amount used for calculating the Tax Distributions for each subsequent Fiscal Year until all Tax Distributions are paid in full. In determining the amount of any Tax Distribution, the amount of taxable income allocated to each Member for any Fiscal Year shall be reduced by any Net Losses previously allocated to such Member in any prior Fiscal Year provided that no such Net Loss (or partial Net Loss) shall be counted more than once for this purpose. No Tax Distributions shall be made pursuant to this Section 6.2 in connection with a Sale of the Company.

Section 6.3 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 6.3 will nonetheless be deemed distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Company did not 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 as will reasonably be requested by the Company to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have.

27

Section 6.4 Limitation on Distributions. No distribution shall be made if such distribution would violate any contract or agreement to which the Company is then a party that was approved by the Requisite Class B Members or any Applicable Law then applicable to the Company.

Section 6.5 No Return of Distributions. Any distribution of 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, no Member receiving the payment of any such money or distribution of any such property will 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, then such obligation will 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 will not be deemed to be a liability of such Member nor an asset or property of the Company.

Section 6.6 Calculation of Target Return.

(a) Tracking Accounts. The Manager shall maintain the Tracking Account and shall deliver updated Tracking Accounts to the Members in accordance with Article VII. Distributions of Distributable Cash pursuant to Section 6.1(a) shall be made to the Members in the allocated percentages specified in such Section, which shall vary as provided in such Section, and which shall be determined by reference to data in the Tracking Accounts, subject to any corrections or adjustments by Manager that may be necessary from time to time to reflect the transactions herein specified (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such corrections and adjustments requested by any Member).

(b) Notice of Date. The Manager shall notify the Members in writing on or before the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) calendar days before the Distribution Date on which the Manager expects the Class B Members to achieve the Project Capital Recovery Date and Target Return and (ii) thirty (30) calendar days before making any liquidating distributions after a liquidation of the Company under Section 10.1 (or on such later date as the liquidation is ordered). The notice shall include the Tracking Accounts showing the Manager’s calculations of the Class B Members’ Internal Rate of Return (which calculations shall apply the methodology used in the applicable Project Pro Forma) and the allocations and distributions that the Manager proposes to make to the Class B Members on the Distribution Date in accordance with Section 6.1(a) or Section 10.2, as applicable, based on such calculations.

Section 6.7 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall apply revenues (inclusive of any net refinancing proceeds) from its operations in accordance with this Section 6.7, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Members or required in any Financing Documents:

(a) first, Tax Distributions pursuant to Section 6.2, if any;

28

(b) second, to pay its operating costs and expenses and capital expenses then due, after taking appropriate reserves and making provision for losses in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice and as may otherwise be required by the Financing Documents (including, without limitation, costs of goods sold, operational and maintenance expenses, insurance payments, asset management fees, reserve build up, professional expenses and other expenses related to the relevant Project);

(c) third, to reimburse to the Class B Members any amounts contributed to the Company to pay costs incurred by the Company pursuant to Section 8.6 and to reimburse to the Manager any amounts paid by Manager pursuant to Section 8.6;

(d) fourth, to pay any indebtedness as and when due under Financing Documents (if any);

(e) fifth, decommissioning costs, as agreed by the Requisite Class B Members, or if and to the extent required by the Financing Documents; and

(f) last, to use one hundred (100%) percent of all remaining cash (including, without limitation, net cash flows from asset sales and refinancing proceeds) (such remaining cash, the “Available Cash Flow”), to make distributions to the Members in accordance with Section 6.1.

ARTICLE VII

ACCOUNTING AND RECORDS

Section 7.1 Reports; Budget.

(a) Thirty days after the last Business Day of each Quarter, Manager shall update the Tracking Accounts and deliver to the Class B Members a report showing the calculation of (i) each Class B Member’s aggregate Internal Rate of Return, and (ii) the Internal Rate of Return achieved by the Class B Members, in each case as of the end of the immediately preceding Quarter (the “Target Return Report”). In the event that distributions made to the Class B Members prior to and as of the Target Achievement Date exceeded the Target Return, for the next following Distribution Date or Distribution Dates, the Company shall adjust distributions to the Members until Distributable Cash shall have been distributed in accordance with Section 6.1(a).

(b) The Manager will promptly notify each Member of upon having actual knowledge of (a) any breach, default or event of default by the Company under any Project Documents, Financing Documents or Transaction Document, including any default by a counterparty under any Contracts or Transaction Document or any other material contract, and shall provide each Member with copies of any notices received by the Manager in connection with such breach, default or event of default and (b) any event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, the Class A Member, Parent or, in the reasonable estimation of the Manager based on facts known to it without inquiry, any Class B Members.

(c) The Manager will promptly make available copies of each report delivered to the Company pursuant to the O&M Agreement, if any.

29

(d) The Manager shall prepare and deliver to each Member a monthly operations report in a form that is reasonable acceptable to the Requisite Class B Members and such other information relating to the financial condition, business, prospects, or corporate affairs of the Company as any Member may from time to time reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, delivery by the Manager to the Members of a copy of a monthly operations and maintenance report from the O&M provider under the O&M Agreement (in the form agreed on or prior to execution of the Contribution Agreement) shall be deemed to satisfy the obligations under this Section 7.1(d).

(e) The Manager shall prepare a proposed Annual Budget no later than November 15 of each Fiscal Year starting with 2023 with respect to the upcoming year. Each Annual Budget will contain a line-item specification of projected revenues and expenses (including reserves), and such other line items required by any O&M Agreement, the Administrative Services Agreement or any other agreement that the Company and the Members (or any of their Affiliates) are party to. The Members will review promptly each proposed Annual Budget, as presented, and will approve, deny, or request modifications within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such draft. If a proposed Annual Budget is not approved by the Members, the Manager shall prepare and submit a revised budget or portion thereof until the Annual Budget is approved as provided in this Section 7.1(e); provided, that in the event that an Annual Budget for a Fiscal Year is not approved by the first day thereof, the Annual Budget for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year shall automatically and without further action continue to be the “Annual Budget” until an Annual Budget is approved.

Section 7.2 Books and Records and Inspection; Right to Audit and Contest.

(a) The Manager will, on behalf of the Company, maintain full and accurate books of account, financial records and supporting documents, which will in all material respects reflect, completely, accurately and in reasonable detail each transaction of the Company, and such other matters as are customarily entered into the records or maintained by Persons engaged in a business of like character or as are required by law. The books of account, financial records, and supporting documents and the other documents and writings of the Company will be kept and maintained by the Manager at the principal office of the Company. The financial records and reports of the Company (which, for the avoidance of doubt, do not for purposes of this sentence include Tracking Accounts) will be kept in accordance with GAAP and kept on an accrual basis. The Manager shall not delegate its responsibilities in this Section 7.2 to any Person without the Consent of the Members; provided that such Consent of the Members shall be deemed to be given with respect to the delegation to the initial administrator under the Administrative Services Agreement to the extent set forth in such agreement as in effect on the Effective Date; and provided further that such delegation shall not in any way reduce or eliminate the obligations of the Manager under this Agreement, including this Section 7.2.

(b) In addition to and without limiting the generality of Section 7.2(a), the Manager will, on behalf of the Company, maintain at the Company’s principal office:

(i) true and full information regarding the status of the financial condition of the Company, including any financial statements for the three most recent Fiscal Years;

(vii) copies of records that would enable a Member to determine the Member’s relative shares of the Company’s distributions and the Member’s relative voting rights.

(c) Upon at least five (5) Business Days prior notice to the Manager, all books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries will be open to inspection and copying by any of the Members or their Representatives during business hours and at such Member’s expense, for any purpose reasonably related to such Member’s interest in the Company; provided that any such inspection or copying is conducted in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the Company’s business, and each Member shall be entitled to visit and inspect the Company’s properties of the Company and its subsidiaries (if any) and discuss the affairs, finances, and accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (if any) with the Manager, during normal business hours of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Member; provided that such Member shall follow all applicable safety, security and site rules and comply with all Applicable Laws, applicable permits and Prudent Industry Practices when on the Project site.

(d) Upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Manager, each Class B Member shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to audit all of the books and records of the Manager relating to the Tracking Account and the Target Return. Such audit may be conducted by such Class B Member or its designated Representatives. Each Class B Member shall have the right, upon notice to the Manager, to contest any calculation of the Target Return or any element of the Tracking Accounts. The Members shall thereupon, together, expeditiously and in good faith, attempt to resolve any such dispute. If such dispute shall not be resolved within twenty (20) Business Days after such notice from such Class B Member, any Member may submit the dispute for resolution pursuant to Section 11.11. If such resolution determines that any such calculation was incorrect, the Tracking Account shall be adjusted accordingly, the Class B Member with respect to which such calculation was incorrect shall be reimbursed by the Company for all of its costs and expenses incurred in connection with such audit, and, if affected thereby, the Target Achievement Date shall be adjusted and (x) the Class A Member shall promptly reimburse the Class B Members for any distribution received by the Class A Member which should have been made to the Class B Members, or (y) the Class B Members shall promptly reimburse the Class A Member for any distribution received by the Class B Members which should have been made to the Class A Member

(a) The Members acknowledge that the Company may maintain funds in cash, money market funds, certificates of deposit, or other permitted investments as approved by the Members in excess of the insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or other depository insurance institutions, and that the Manager shall not be accountable or liable for any loss of such funds resulting from failure or insolvency of the institution, so long as any such maintenance of funds is at a federally or state chartered banking institution consented to by the Requisite Class B Members. As an initial matter, Requisite Class B Members consent to KeyBank. Each Class B Member shall have access to view the account balance at any time at such bank.

(b) Checks, notes, drafts and other orders for the payment of money shall be signed by such Persons employed by the Manager or its Affiliate as the Manager from time to time may authorize in writing.

(b) The Company shall make the following elections or applications on the appropriate Tax Returns or other documentation:

(i) to the extent permitted under Section 706 of the Code, to adopt as the Company’s fiscal year a year that ends on December 31 as long as such fiscal year remains the Company’s “majority interest taxable year,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-1(b)(2);

The Manager shall deliver a draft of all income Tax Returns of the Company to the Members not less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the deadline for filing (taking into account any extensions). The Members may propose revisions to such Tax Returns not more than five (5) Business Days after the date of delivery, and the Manager shall consider and shall incorporate any such revisions so long the revisions are in compliance with Applicable Laws and this Agreement, and no Member is disadvantaged by any such revisions without its written consent.

The Manager may extend the time for filing any Tax Returns as provided for under Applicable Laws, provided that prior notice thereof is given to the Class B Members.

(a) (i) the Manager shall be designated as the “Partnership Representative” within the meaning of Section 6223(a) of the Code (the “Partnership Representative”) and the Manager shall be authorized to take any actions necessary under Treasury Regulations or other guidance to be designated as the Partnership Representative; (ii) subject to Section 7.7(b), the Company and each Member agree that they shall be bound by the actions taken by the Partnership Representative, as described in Section 6223(b) of the Code; (iii) the election set forth in Section 6226(a) of the Code shall be made as provided in Section 7.7(b), and the Members agree to take any action, and furnish the Company, the Manager, and the Partnership Representative with any information necessary, to give effect to such election if made in accordance with such section; and (iv) any imputed underpayment imposed on the Company pursuant to Section 6232 of the Code (and any related interest, penalties or other additions to tax) that the Partnership Representative reasonably determines is attributable to one or more Members (including any former Members), shall be promptly paid by such Members (including any former Members) to the Company (pro rata in proportion to their respective shares of such underpayment) within fifteen (15) days following the Company’s request for payment (and any failure to pay such amount shall result in a subsequent reduction in distributions otherwise payable to such Member); provided, that the Company shall provide the Members with its calculation of the portion of any imputed underpayment applicable to each of the Members and an opportunity to review and comment, which comments shall be considered in good faith by the Company. If the Partnership Representative is not an individual, the Partnership Representative shall appoint a “designated individual” in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 301.6223-1(b)(3) (the “Designated Individual”).

(b) The Partnership Representative shall (i) keep all Members reasonably and contemporaneously apprised regarding all tax audits, examinations, proceedings and other material tax matters related to the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (a “Tax Proceeding”) and (ii) promptly furnish to all Members copies of any and all material documents and correspondence sent or received in connection with any such Tax Proceeding. All Members shall be entitled to be present at, and participate in, any and all meetings and conference calls with respect to any Tax Proceeding. The Partnership Representative shall not settle or otherwise agree to, or cause or permit the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries to settle or agree to, any matter, determination or outcome without the prior written consent of the Requisite Class B Members, if such resolution would have an adverse effect on any Class B Member or the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed to by the Partnership Representative and the Requisite Class B Members, the Partnership Representative shall cause the Company to make an election pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code with respect to any “imputed underpayment” (within the meaning of Section 6225 of the Code) to make the provisions of Section 6225 of the Code inapplicable to such imputed underpayment (a “Section 6226 Election”) to the extent the Company is eligible to make such election; provided, however, that if any Member objects in writing to such Section 6226 Election, and provides an alternative to such Section 6226 Election that is materially more favorable to such Member and no less favorable to the other Members or the Company (as determined by the written Consent of the Members, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), then the Company shall in good faith pursue such alternative so long as it can be implemented without jeopardizing the Members’ rights to the Section 6226 Election.

34

(c) The Company shall indemnify and reimburse the Partnership Representative for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal and accounting fees (including tax preparation fees), claims, liabilities, losses and damages, incurred in connection with the exercise of its duties as Partnership Representative.

Section 7.8 Cooperation. Subject to the provisions of this Article VII, each Member shall, at the requesting Member’s expense, provide the other Members with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by such other Members in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or other examination by any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to the liability for any Taxes with respect to the operations of the Company.

Section 7.9 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Company (the “Fiscal Year”) shall be a year that ends on December 31. The taxable year of the Company will be a year that ends on December 31 as long as such taxable year remains the Company’s “majority interest taxable year,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-1(b)(2), or such other date as required by federal income tax law.

Section 7.10 Member Tax Consistency. Each Member agrees that on such Member’s federal, state, local, foreign, and other income tax returns, such Member shall not take any position with regard to any Company item that is inconsistent with the treatment of such item on the Company’s return, unless otherwise required by applicable law, in which case such Member shall provide prior written notice to the Company of such inconsistency.

(a) If the Requisite Class B Members seek or otherwise receive and wish to accept an offer for the sale, lease or other disposal of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, then the Requisite Class B Members shall have the right to require the Company to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all of the Company’s assets, on terms acceptable to the Requisite Class B Members in accordance with Section 8.5(d), and the proceeds of such sale, lease or disposal shall be promptly first applied to then outstanding obligations of the Company in accordance with Section 6.7, and thereafter distributed to the Class B Members and the Class A Member as distributions pursuant to Section 6.1(a) and further provided that any proceeds held in escrow pursuant to such sale, lease or disposal shall not constitute sale proceeds until released from such escrow for distribution first to any outstanding obligations of the Company in accordance with Section 6.7, and thereafter in accordance with Section 6.1(a) (and which proceeds shall be so applied at the time of release from such escrow). In connection with any such sale, lease or other disposal of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the Requisite Class B Members shall have the right to cause the Company to terminate the O&M Agreement or Administrative Services Agreement of the Company, subject to the payment of the applicable Termination Payment, if any.

Section 9.9 Special Provisions Relating to Sales of the Company.

(a) In the event of a sale or exchange by the Members of all or substantially all of the Membership Interests held by the Members (whether by sale, merger, recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, combination or otherwise), each Member shall receive in exchange for the Membership Interests transferred by such Member (provided that, as provided in Section 9.9(b), owners of the Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicles may deliver the capital stock, other equity interests and all outstanding indebtedness of such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicles in lieu of such Membership Interests), the same portion of the aggregate consideration from such sale or exchange that such Member would have received if such aggregate consideration had been distributed by the Company in complete liquidation pursuant to the rights and preferences set forth in Section 6.1(a) as in effect immediately prior to such sale or exchange; provided that any proceeds held in escrow pursuant to such sale or exchange shall not constitute sale proceeds until released from such escrow for payment to the Class B Members and the Class A Member (which proceeds shall be so applied at the time of release from such escrow). Each Member shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with such distribution of the aggregate consideration from such sale or exchange as requested by the Requisite Class B Members. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, proceeds of the sale of the Membership Interests of the Class B Members shall not be distributed pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof in the event that substantially all of the Membership Interests are being sold pursuant to a Tag Along Sale if the Class A Member is not participating in a Tag Along Sale pursuant to Section 9.7, and such proceeds shall be paid to the Class B Members with no obligation to distribute any such proceeds to the Class A Member.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement (including the requirements of the conditions specified in Section 9.7 and this Section 9.9), it is understood and agreed that the following structure for a Sale of the Company with respect to the Class B Members shall be implemented by the Company and approved by the Manager and each Member if so requested by the Requisite Class B Members: a Sale of the Company in which the purchaser or purchasers acquire(s) separately each of the following: (i) all Membership Interests of the Company other than the Membership Interests held by the Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicles; and (ii) all outstanding capital stock, other equity interests and all outstanding indebtedness of the Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicles and/or all of their options, warrants and/or other rights to acquire equity interests in the Company (which options, warrants or rights the purchaser or purchasers will then exercise). The price to be paid to the owners of the debt and equity securities of the Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicles will be the aggregate value of all Membership Interests held, directly or indirectly, by such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle (as if all options, warrants and/or other rights to acquire equity interests in the Company had been exercised) as if all such Membership Interests were directly sold in such transaction plus the amount of any cash held by the Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle. If such structure is implemented, then the relevant Class B Member(s) shall be deemed to include the stockholders and other securities holders of such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle and the Membership Interests held by such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle shall be determined based on the indirect sale of such Membership Interests by such holders. For the sake of clarity, the value of each Membership Interest sold or exchanged pursuant to Section 9.7 or Section 9.9 shall be determined by (i) calculating the aggregate equity value of the Company after taking into account the benefit of any step-up in basis attributable to the purchase of all of the Membership Interests and all of the debt and equity securities of the Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicles and (ii) allocating to each such Membership Interests, whether sold directly or pursuant to the sale of all of the debt and equity securities of the Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicles, the same portion of the aggregate consideration from such sale or exchange that would have been allocated to such Membership Interest if such aggregate consideration had been distributed by the Company in complete liquidation pursuant to the rights and preferences set forth in Section 6.1(a) as in effect immediately prior to such sale or exchange. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Class B Members may Transfer to any Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle, in connection with an Approved Sale, Class B Membership Interests representing such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle’s indirect interest in the Company and the holders of such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle shall be entitled to sell their outstanding capital stock, other equity interests and outstanding indebtedness of the Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicles as set forth in Section 9.9(a) and this Section 9.9(b). Such Transfer may be made through a series of Transfers between any Persons who hold an interest in any Class B Member, directly or indirectly, between such Class B Member and such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in connection with any Transfer of equity securities of any Person held by the Company, a Class B Member may direct the Company to distribute such applicable portion of such equity securities indirectly held by a Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle to such Class B Member in accordance with Section 6.1(a), a Class B Member may Transfer such equity securities to such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle, or through a series of Transfers between any Persons who hold an interest in such Class B Member, directly or indirectly, between such Class B Member and such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle, as the case may be, and the holders of such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle shall be entitled to sell their outstanding capital stock, other equity interests and outstanding indebtedness of such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicles at the same price per equity security as the equity securities being sold by the Company (such price to be paid to the holders of the debt and equity securities of such Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicle).

46

(c) If the Requisite Class B Members approve, or notify the Company of the Requisite Class B Members’ desire to pursue (or initiate a process to effect), a Sale of the Company in accordance with Sections 8.5(d) or (e) (an “Approved Sale”) to an unaffiliated Person (and in any event, not including an entity that is an investment vehicle managed by any Class B Member or an Affiliate of such Class B Member or the general partners of such Class B Member), each Member (including, for these purposes, the owners of debt or equity securities of Class B Member Corporate Investment Vehicles): (i) shall vote for (if such Member is entitled to vote thereon), consent to (to the extent required or requested) and raise no objections against such Approved Sale; (ii) waive any dissenters or appraisal rights with respect to such Approved Sale; (iii) shall not make any claim with respect to or take any action that is reasonably likely to hinder or cause an adverse effect on such Approved Sale, (iv) to the extent requested by such Class B Member, shall become a party to, and cause the Company to become party to, any applicable purchase agreement, agreement of merger, consolidation or reorganization, or other agreement to effect the Sale of the Company, (v) shall take all actions necessary or required to consummate the Sale of Company, and (vi) the Company and each Member shall consummate such Approved Sale on the terms and conditions so approved. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no authorization or approval of the Manager or any Member other than the Requisite Class B Members shall be required to approve and authorize an Approved Sale. In connection with any Approved Sale, the Company, the Manager, each Subsidiary of the Company, each Representative and each Member (solely in such Person’s capacity as such), to the extent within such Member’s control, shall take all necessary or reasonably desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale and any related transactions (including any auction or competitive bid process in connection with or preceding such Sale of the Company) as requested by the Requisite Class B Members (at the Company’s expense, including: (i) causing the Company to retain investment bankers and other advisors selected by the Requisite Class B Members; (ii) participating in management meetings and preparing pitchbooks and confidential information memorandums; (iii) furnishing information and copies of documents; (iv) filing, on behalf of the Company or the Class B Members, reasonably necessary applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with Governmental Authorities relating to the Company; (v) providing assistance with legal, accounting, tax, financial, benefits and other forms of due diligence; and (vi) otherwise reasonably cooperating with the Requisite Class B Members (who shall control all decisions in connection with such Approved Sale by the Requisite Class B Members (including the hiring or terminating of any investment bank or other professional advisor(s), if any)), the prospective buyer(s), any investment bankers, consultants or other professional advisors who have been retained in connection with such Approved Sale and their respective representatives. Without limiting the foregoing, the obligations of each Member with respect to an Approved Sale shall not in any way be limited or otherwise affected by the amount, nature, form or terms of the consideration to be paid in any Approved Sale, even if such Approved Sale results in no consideration being paid or payable to such Member. Each Member must agree to make to the proposed transferee substantially the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as approved by the Requisite Class B Members and agree to the same conditions as approved by the Requisite Class B Members (except that, in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, agreements and conditions pertaining specifically to the Class B Members, the other Members shall make comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements and shall agree to comparable conditions, in each case to the extent applicable and pertaining specifically to itself and only to itself); provided, that all representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall be made by the Members severally and not jointly and provided further, that the liability for indemnification, in addition to being several and not joint, shall be allocated pro rata based on the decrease in the amount of the aggregate consideration each such Member would receive in such Sale of the Company if the amount of the aggregate consideration to be distributed was reduced by the aggregate amount of such obligations (i.e., reverse waterfall), other than as to such liability in respect of the representations and warranties made to the transferee as to itself and its properties and liability in respect of its performance of its obligations to the transferee, as to which its liability shall not be limited by such allocation, and as to which no other Member shall have liability unless otherwise agreed in writing. Members’ liability in respect of such transfer will not exceed such Member’s Proceeds, except that in the case of potential liability for fraud or willful misconduct by such Member, such Member shall bear the full liability therefor.

47

(d) Each Member shall promptly take all necessary or reasonably desirable actions requested by the Requisite Class B Members in connection with, and in order to expeditiously consummate, such Approved Sale and any related transactions, including executing, acknowledging and delivering transfer agreements, sale agreements, escrow agreements, consents, assignments, customary releases (including general releases (with customary exclusions), whether relating to the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise), waivers and other documents or instruments. Solely with respect to any Approved Sale, each Member hereby: (i) appoints Spring Lane or its designee as its representative in connection with any sale agreement with customary provisions (including the right to resolve any potential indemnification claims or other disputes on behalf of all (but not less than all) Members, execute and deliver all amendments, waivers, releases, and other documents, necessary, proper, required, contemplated or deemed advisable by Spring Lane, receive and distribute funds (including in making payments of expenses) and receiving notices) and (ii) irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Spring Lane or its designee, such Member’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of such Member, to (A) vote the Membership Interests held by such Member, (B) to grant a consent or approval in respect of such Membership Interests, in connection with any meeting of the Members or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting of the Members with respect to an Approved Sale or (C) to transfer such Member’s Membership Interests in the Approved Sale and to execute any purchase (or similar) agreement or other documentation required to consummate such transfer in the Approved Sale or otherwise required or contemplated by this Section 9.9. Each Member hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 9.9(d) is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Member under this Agreement in connection with an Approved Sale. Each Member hereby further affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 9.9(d) is coupled with an interest and irrevocable.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at the Requisite Class B Members may determine, in good faith, that the proceeds with respect to a Sale of the Company may be withheld from any Member pending the execution of the deliveries set forth in Section 9.7 and Section 9.9, as applicable, or that the posting of such Member’s pro rata share of any security as the Requisite Class B Members deem reasonably necessary to cover any purchase price adjustments, indemnification or such other obligations of the Company or a Member as set forth in this Section 9.9 in connection with such Sale of the Company.

(f) The Requisite Class B Members shall, in their sole discretion, decide whether or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any Approved Sale and the terms and conditions thereof. None of the Members, the Representatives of any Member nor any of their Affiliates shall have any liability to any other Members arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any such Approved Sale except to the extent any such Person shall have failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.9. To the maximum extent permitted by law, in connection with any Sale of the Company, each Member hereby waives all claims (including any claims for breach of fiduciary duty (which has been eliminated pursuant to Section 3.5(b)), but excluding claims based on fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct) arising out of or related to any Sale of the Company, including claims relating to the fairness of the Sale of the Company, the price paid for the Membership Interests in such Sale of the Company, the process or timing of such Sale of the Company, or any similar claims arising from or relating to a Sale of the Company and, without limiting the foregoing, acknowledges and agrees such Member is not entitled to any dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or similar rights under Section 18-210 of the Act or otherwise.

(g) In no manner shall this Section 9.9 be construed to grant to any Member any dissenters rights or appraisal rights or give any Member any right to vote in any Approved Sale, including any Approved Sale structured as a merger or consolidation and each Member grants to the Class B Members the sole right to approve or consent to an Approved Sale, including an Approved Sale structured as a merger or consolidation of the Company, without approval or consent of the Members (other than the Class B Members).

(h) If any Member fails to deliver any certificates representing its Membership Interests as required by this Section 9.9, or in lieu thereof to deliver, a customary affidavit attesting to the loss or destruction of such certificate(s), upon consummation of the Approved Sale, such Member will not be entitled to the consideration they would otherwise receive in the Approved Sale until such failure is cured (provided that, after curing such failure, such Member will be so entitled to such consideration).

(j) This Agreement shall terminate as to the Class A Member, Class B Members and Manager as of the consummation of any Sale of the Company, but shall survive until any payments due to the Class A Member and the Class A Member from the proceeds of such transaction shall have been irrevocably paid in full.

48

(k) For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Class A Member nor the Class B Members shall be required to enter into any non-compete in connection with any sale pursuant to this Section 9.9.

Section 9.10 Class A Member Right of First Offer. If at any time during the term of this Agreement the Company or any Class B Member receives a bona fide offer from a third party to purchase all or substantially all of the assets or outstanding equity interests in the Company or the Project (collectively, the “Covered Transactions”), the Company or the Class B Member(s), as the case may be, will promptly and in any event within five (5) Business Days deliver to the Developer written notice describing such offer (including with such notice all material, non-confidential information and material terms thereof) (the “ROFO Notice”). Developer will have the right (“Right of First Offer”), by written notice to the Company and/or the Class B Members, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the ROFO Notice (“Exercise Notice”) to elect to enter into a transaction with the Company and/or the Class B Members, as the case may be, in lieu of such third party. Developer and the Company and/or the Class B Members, as the case may be, will close the Transactions not later than forty-five (45) days after the date of the Exercise Notice or at such other time as the parties may agree in writing. If Developer does not send a timely Exercise Notice to the Company and/or the Class B Members, as the case may be, then the Company and/or the Class B Members, as the case may be, will have the right to enter into the original Covered Transaction with the third party that prompted the ROFO Notice; provided that if no transaction is entered into by the Company and/or the Class B Members, as the case may be, and such third party within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the ROFO Notice, then Developer’s Right of First Offer will remain in effect with respect to any offer subsequently made by or to a third party and the process above will be repeated. Upon the consummation of a Covered Transaction as permitted herein, the Company and/or the Class B Members, as the case may be, shall provide written notice to the Developer and the Developer’s Right of First Offer shall be terminated.

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.

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.
