(d) if the Leased Facility is sold to Lessee pursuant to Section 5.3(b), Section 5.4(b) or Section 5.5(b) and the Purchase Price is greater than thirty percent (30%) of the Approved Amount, then Lessee shall not be obligated to pay the entire amount of such Purchase Price on the Lessor Termination Date or Lessee Termination Date, as the case may be, but shall be obligated to pay Lessor as follows:

(i)(A) if such Purchase Price is between thirty percent (30%) and fifty percent (50%) of the Approved Amount, then Lessee shall be obligated to pay the full amount of such Purchase Price in twenty (20) equal quarterly installments; and

(B) if such Purchase Price is over fifty percent (50%) of the Approved Amount, then Lessee shall be obligated to pay the full amount of such Purchase Price in forty (40) equal quarterly installments.

(ii) In addition to the repayment of the Purchase Price, Lessee shall be obligated to pay Lessor a Return on Capital with respect to the outstanding unpaid amount of the Purchase Price. On or before the tenth (10^th) day of each calendar month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) following the Lessee Termination Date or the Lessor Termination, as the case may be, until the Purchase Price is paid in full to Lessor, Lessor shall submit a written invoice to Lessee which shall indicate (i) the total amount outstanding of the Purchase Price and (ii) the Return on Capital with respect to the total amount outstanding of the Purchase Price.

(iii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Facility Lease, this Section 5.6(d) shall survive the termination of this Facility Lease.

(e) each Party shall promptly and duly execute and deliver such further documents and take such further action reasonably requested by the other Party, as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Section 5.6.

5.7 PSCW Return Event. If a PSCW Return Event occurs during the Construction Term, then Lessor may, subject to Lessor delivering to Lessee a Purchase Price Notice (with the Purchase Price calculated as of the date of such notice) and a Lessor Termination Notice, exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to Section 5.4(b), provided that for purposes of exercising its rights and remedies under Section 5.4(b), Lessee shall be deemed to have failed to achieve the Lease Effective Date by the Required Lease Effective Date pursuant to Section 5.4(a) and Lessor shall be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to Section 5.4(b).

6.1 Lease of Leased Facility. Subject to Section 5.1, Lessor agrees to lease to Lessee, and Lessee agrees to lease from Lessor, the Leased Facility subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Facility Lease, for the Base Term and, subject to Lessee’s exercise of its renewal options in accordance with Article 14, the Renewal Terms.

6.2 Nature of Transaction. It is the intent of the Parties that: (a) the transactions contemplated hereby constitute a capital lease pursuant to GAAP from Lessor to Lessee for purposes of Lessee’s financial reporting only; (b) the transactions contemplated hereby preserve ownership of the Leased Facility by Lessor for federal and state income tax, bankruptcy and UCC purposes; and (c) other than for Lessee’s financial reporting, the obligations of Lessee to pay Rent shall be treated as payments of rent. Except as otherwise required by any taxing Governmental Authority, the Parties agree that they shall not, nor shall any of their Affiliates, at any time take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the filing of any income tax return, including an amended income tax return, inconsistent with the intention of the Parties expressed in this Section 6.2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties intend and agree that the transactions contemplated in this Facility Lease are, and shall be treated as a lease for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes.

(a) Basic Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor in the manner and place set forth in Section 7.2 on each Rent Payment Date rent calculated in accordance with Schedule 7.1 (the “Basic Rent”) for the lease of the Leased Facility during the Base Term.

(b) Supplemental Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor and any other Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 7.2 any and all Supplemental Rent on the date on which the same shall become due and payable, including, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, interest at the applicable Overdue Rate on any payment of Rent, the Termination Value or the Fair Market Value Purchase Price not paid when due for the period from the due date until the same shall be paid. The expiration or other termination of the Lease Term and/or Lessee’s obligation to pay Basic Rent or Renewal Rent hereunder, as the case may be, shall not limit or modify the obligations of Lessee with respect to Supplemental Rent. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Facility Lease, in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay and discharge any Supplemental Rent as and when the same shall be due and payable, Lessee shall also promptly pay and discharge any fine, penalty, interest or cost which may be assessed or added for non-payment or late payment of such Supplemental Rent, all of which shall also constitute Supplemental Rent. Lessor agrees to make available to Lessee, upon written request, copies of all notices, invoices, bills or other documentation reasonably requested by Lessee with respect to the calculation of Supplemental Rent.

(c) Invoices and Supporting Documentation. On or before the tenth (10^th) day of each calendar month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) from the Lease Effective Date until this Facility Lease expires or is terminated, Lessor shall submit a written invoice to Lessee which shall indicate the amount of Basic Rent or Renewal Rent, as the case may be, that Lessee owes to Lessor for the previous month. The invoice shall specify each component of the Basic Rent or Renewal Rent formula, as the case may be, and shall resemble the sample calculations, attached for illustrative purposes only, set forth in Annex A to Schedule 7.1 and Annexes A, B and C to Schedule 14.2. Lessor agrees to make available to Lessee, upon written request, copies of all notices, invoices, bills or other documentation reasonably requested by Lessee with respect to the calculation of Basic Rent and Renewal Rent.

(d) Community Impact Mitigation Costs. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor through Basic Rent or Renewal Rent payments for Community Impact Mitigation Costs incurred by or on behalf of Lessor after the Lease Effective Date.

(a) All payments of Rent, the Termination Value and the Fair Market Value Purchase Price payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Facility Lease shall be made by Lessee to or for the account of Lessor as Lessor shall from time to time direct in writing in immediately available funds in Dollars in the amount of such payments on the date when such payments are due.

(b) Neither Lessee’s inability or failure to take possession of all, or any portion, of the Leased Facility when delivered by Lessor, nor Lessor’s inability or failure to deliver all or any portion of the Leased Facility to Lessee, whether or not attributable to any act or omission of Lessee or any act or omission of any other Person (other than Lessor), or for any other reason whatsoever, shall delay or otherwise affect Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent, the Termination Value and/or the Fair Market Value Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Facility Lease.

(c) If the Leased Facility is sold to Lessee pursuant to Section 14.4, and the Fair Market Value Purchase Price is greater than thirty percent (30%) of the Approved Amount, then Lessee shall not be obligated to pay the entire amount of such Fair Market Value Purchase Price as of the last day of the Base Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, but shall be obligated to pay Lessor as follows:

(i)(A) if such Fair Market Value Purchase Price is between thirty percent (30%) and fifty percent (50%) of the Approved Amount, then Lessee shall be obligated to pay the full amount of the Fair Market Value Purchase Price in twenty (20) equal quarterly installments; and (B) if such Fair Market Value Purchase Price is over fifty percent (50%) of the Approved Amount, then Lessee shall be obligated to pay the full amount of such Fair Market Value Purchase Price in forty (40) equal quarterly installments.

(ii) In addition to the repayment of the Fair Market Value Purchase Price, Lessee shall be obligated to pay Lessor a Return on Capital with respect to the outstanding unpaid amount of the Fair Market Value Purchase Price. On or before the tenth (10^th) day of each calendar month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) following the last day of the Base Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, until the Fair Market Value Purchase Price is paid in full to Lessor, Lessor shall submit a written invoice to Lessee which shall indicate (i) the total amount outstanding of the Fair Market Value Purchase Price and (ii) the Return on Capital with respect to the total amount outstanding of the Fair Market Value Purchase Price. No later than the thirtieth (30^th) day after which Lessee receives each invoice (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), Lessee shall pay the amount specified in the invoice to or for the account of Lessor in Dollars.

(iii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Facility Lease, this Section 7.2(c) shall survive the termination of this Facility Lease.

(a) THIS FACILITY LEASE IS A NET LEASE AND LESSEE’S OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENT, THE TERMINATION VALUE AND/OR THE FAIR MARKET VALUE PURCHASE PRICE SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL UNDER ANY AND ALL CIRCUMSTANCES AND, WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, LESSEE SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY ABATEMENT OR REDUCTION OF RENT, THE TERMINATION VALUE OR THE FAIR MARKET VALUE PURCHASE PRICE OR ANY SETOFF AGAINST RENT, THE TERMINATION VALUE, THE FAIR MARKET VALUE PURCHASE PRICE, INDEMNITY OR ANY OTHER AMOUNT, WHETHER ARISING BY REASON OF ANY PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE CLAIMS OF ANY NATURE BY LESSEE AGAINST LESSOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT FOR THE DAMAGES, ADJUSTMENTS AND TERMINATION PROVISIONS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS FACILITY LEASE.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and by performance of the obligations in connection herewith, this Facility Lease shall not terminate, nor shall the obligations of Lessee be otherwise affected:

(i) by reason of the condition, merchantability, design, quality, fitness for use, any defect in or damage to, loss of possession or use, obsolescence or destruction of any or all of the Leased Facility or the Unit 1 Facility, however caused, or any inability to use the Leased Facility or any part thereof by reason of any such defect;

(ii) by the taking or requisitioning of any or all of the Leased Facility by condemnation or otherwise or by any removal, abandonment, salvage, loss, contamination or destruction of the Leased Facility or the Unit 1 Facility or any part thereof;

(iii) by the invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization by any Person to any Lease Document or other infirmity of this Facility Lease or any other Lease Document;

(iv) by the attachment of any Lien of any third party to any or all of the Leased Facility or the Unit 1 Facility;

(v) by any prohibition or restriction of or interference with Lessee’s use of any or all of the Leased Facility or the Unit 1 Facility by any Person (other than Lessor or a Person rightly claiming through Lessor);

(vi) by the insolvency of or the commencement by or against Lessor or any party to a Lease Document of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding;

(vii) by any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use of the Leased Facility or any part thereof;

(viii) by any defect in title to or rights to the Leased Facility or the Unit 1 Facility or any Lien on such title or rights to the Leased Facility or the Unit 1 Facility;

(ix) by any change, waiver, extension or indulgence by any Person party to the Lease Documents except to the extent provided in such change, waiver, extension or indulgence;

(x) by any claim that Lessee has or might have against any Person, including any vendor, manufacturer or contractor of or for the Leased Facility or the Unit 1 Facility;

(xi) by any invalidity, unenforceability, illegality or disaffirmance of this Facility Lease against or by Lessee or any provision hereof or any of the other Lease Documents or any provision thereof;

(xii) by the impossibility or illegality of performance by Lessee, Lessor or both under this Facility Lease or any other Lease Document to which either is a party;

(xiii) by any failure on the part of Lessor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Facility Lease or any other Lease Document (other than performance by Lessor of its obligations under and in accordance with Section 6.1);

(xv) by any claim for infringement or other liability resulting from any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property rights; or

(xvi) by any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future Law to the contrary notwithstanding.

(c) It is the intention of the Parties that all payments of Rent, the Termination Value and the Fair Market Value Purchase Price payable by Lessee hereunder shall be payable in all events in the manner and at the times herein provided unless Lessee’s obligations in respect thereof shall have been terminated or modified pursuant to the express provisions of this Facility Lease. Each payment of Rent, the Termination Value and the Fair Market Value Purchase Price by Lessee hereunder shall be final, and Lessee shall not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from Lessor except as expressly provided in this Facility Lease. Without affecting Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent, the Termination Value and/or the Fair Market Value Purchase Price, as the case may be, and subject in all respects to Sections 7.3, 17.3 and 22.15, Lessee may exercise its remedies at law for a breach by Lessor of its respective obligations under this Facility Lease in accordance with Section 17.2(b). Lessor shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Lessee or against or in payment of any or all Rent, the Termination Value or the Fair Market Value Purchase Price. The Parties intend that the obligations of Lessee under this Facility Lease shall be covenants and agreements that are separate and independent from any obligations of Lessor hereunder or under any other Lease Document and the obligations of Lessee under this Facility Lease shall continue unaffected unless such obligations have been modified or terminated in accordance with an express provision of this Facility Lease.

7.4 Common Facilities Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the New Common Facilities, which are used in common by two or more of Unit 1, Unit 2, the Future Unit and the Existing Units, will be adjusted and the rent formulas in Schedule 7.1 and Schedule 14.2, respectively, will be adjusted as provided below: (i) the “Lease Effective Date” or termination pursuant to Article 5 of the Elm Road II Facility Lease, (ii) the “Lease Effective Date” or termination before the “Lease Effective Date” if the Future Unit is leased to Lessee pursuant to a lease substantially similar to this Facility Lease, or alternatively, if the Future Unit is not so leased, upon commercial operation of the Future Unit or (iii) Lessor transfers or sells to or purchases from another Owner or its Affiliates, a Unit 1 Ownership Interest and a corresponding New Common Facilities Ownership Interest (each, a “New Common Facilities Adjustment Event”):

(a) Lessor shall adjust Lessor’s New Common Facilities Ownership Interest and New Common Facilities Ownership Percentage in accordance with Schedule 7.4. If Lessor’s New Common Facilities Ownership Interest is increased pursuant to this Section 7.4, then the increased amount of New Common Facilities Ownership Interest shall be part of the Leased Facility and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Facility Lease. If Lessor’s New Common Facilities Ownership Interest is decreased pursuant to this Section 7.4, then the decreased amount of New Common Facilities Ownership Interest shall be released from the Leased Facility and shall no longer be subject to the terms and conditions of this Facility Lease; and

(b) Lessor shall amend the Basic Rent and the Renewal Rent formulas in Schedule 7.1 and Schedule 14.2, respectively, to reflect any change in Lessor’s New Common

Facilities Ownership Interest and New Common Facilities Ownership Percentage, in accordance with Schedule 7.4.

(a) Subject to Section 7.5(c), if at any time Lessor acquires all or a portion of another Owner’s ownership interest in Unit 1, then effective as of the consummation of such acquisition, the amount of Unit 1 Ownership Interest acquired shall be part of the Leased Facility, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Facility Lease, and Lessor shall amend the Basic Rent and the Renewal Rent formulas in Schedule 7.1 and Schedule 14.2, respectively, to reflect the change in Lessor’s Unit 1 Ownership Interest and Unit 1 Ownership Percentage in accordance with this Section 7.5(a).

(b) If at any time Lessor sells or transfers a portion of its ownership interest in Unit 1 to another Owner, then effective as of the consummation of such sale or transfer, the amount of Unit 1 Ownership Interest sold or transferred shall no longer be a part of the Leased Facility and shall be released from the terms and conditions of this Facility Lease, and Lessor shall amend the Basic Rent and the Renewal Rent formulas in Schedule 7.1 and Schedule 14.2, respectively, to reflect the change in Lessor’s Unit 1 Ownership Interest and Unit 1 Ownership Percentage in accordance with this Section 7.5(b).

(c) If nine (9) months after the date of this Facility Lease or at any time thereafter, Lessor’s Unit 1 Ownership Percentage is or becomes greater than eighty-four percent (84%), then Lessor and Lessee shall provide to the PSCW, within forty-five (45) days thereafter, a report that either: (i) demonstrates that Lessee’s customers are not paying for too much capacity, or (ii) a plan to eliminate customer impact from paying for too much capacity, pursuant to order point 24 of the CPCN Approval.

Lessor agrees to cooperate and provide any information reasonably requested by Lessee to assist Lessee in enforcing warranties from any manufacturer, vendor or contractor related to the Unit 1 Facility.

have or hereafter acquire under any Law or otherwise (a) to require Lessor to repair, renew, replace or improve all or any part of the Unit 1 Facility, or (b) to make any repairs to the Unit 1 Facility at the expense of Lessor, in each case, except as expressly provided for in this Facility Lease.

(a) In the ordinary course of repairing, maintaining, preserving or testing the Unit 1 Facility or any component thereof, Lessee shall have the right to remove or cause to be removed any component of such Unit 1 Facility; provided, however, that: (i) Lessee shall cause any such component to be replaced by a replacement component; (ii) Lessee shall cause such replacement component to be free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and in as good an operating condition as that of the component replaced and with a residual value, utility and remaining useful life at least equal to that of the component replaced (in each case, assuming that the replaced component was maintained in accordance with the terms of this Facility Lease); and (iii) the use of such replacement component as part of the Unit 1 Facility shall not, other than in a de minimis respect, diminish the Fair Market Value, utility, remaining useful life or residual value of the Unit 1 Facility. Each component (other than an Obsolete Component) removed from the Unit 1 Facility will remain subject to this Facility Lease, wherever located, until such time as such component is replaced by a replacement component which has been incorporated in the Unit 1 Facility and which meets the requirements for replacement components specified in this Section 9.3(a). Lessee shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lessor to cause such removed component to remain subject to this Facility Lease.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.3(a), Lessee shall not be required to replace a particular component in accordance with Section 9.3(a) if such component is obsolete and its removal without replacement could not reasonably be expected to diminish, other than in a de minimis respect, the residual value, utility or remaining useful life of the Unit 1 Facility (“Obsolete Component”).

(c) Immediately upon removal of an Obsolete Component or removal of any other component from the Unit 1 Facility pursuant to Section 9.3(a) and the replacement component becoming incorporated in the Unit 1 Facility in accordance with Section 9.3(a), and without further act and with no adjustment to the Rent, the Termination Value or the Fair Market Value Purchase Price, as the case may be: (i) the removed component shall no longer be subject

to this Facility Lease, (ii) title to the removed component shall thereupon vest in Lessee or such other Person as shall be designated by Lessee, free and clear of all rights of Lessor, and (iii) in the case of any replacement component, title to the replacement component shall thereupon vest with Lessor and such replacement component shall (A) become subject to this Facility Lease and (B) be deemed a part of the Unit 1 Facility for all purposes of this Facility Lease.

10.1 Investments. Provided that Lessee’s senior unsecured long-term debt is rated at least Investment Grade, Lessor shall, during the Base Term and any Renewal Term, finance Lessor’s Percentage of all capital costs associated with any capital renewal, replacement, improvement, enhancement, modification, alteration and addition to the Unit 1 Facility (each, an “Improvement”) if such Improvement is required by applicable Law, is necessary or appropriate for the efficient operation of the Unit 1 Facility or is consistent with Good Utility Practice, provided that:

(a) Such Improvement will not have a material adverse effect on the value of Lessor’s investment in the Unit 1 Facility (including an adverse effect, in any material respect, on the Fair Market Value, residual value, utility or remaining useful life of the Unit 1 Facility, causing any manufacturer’s warranties then in effect on the Unit 1 Facility to become void, creating any Liens on the Leased Facility (other than Permitted Encumbrances) or causing the Improvement or Unit 1 Facility to become “limited use” property within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 2001-28, 2001-19 I.R.B. 1156) or otherwise cause harm to the Unit 1 Facility; and

(b) Lessee has received any Government Approvals required for designing, engineering, procuring, permitting, constructing and operating such Improvement, including any Government Approvals required by the PSCW which would be applicable if the Improvement was proposed, constructed and owned by a public utility in Wisconsin. The Parties agree that they will not, either separately or jointly, attempt to avoid PSCW regulation and oversight of Improvements, including by dividing an Improvement into a series of renewals, replacements, improvements, enhancements, modifications, alterations or additions any one or number of which would not be of sufficient cost to mandate PSCW oversight.

Improvements which meet the requirements of Section 10.1(a) and (b) shall be known as “Investments”.

(a) No later than August 1st of each calendar year during the Lease Term, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing (the “Investments Notice”) of each Investment which Lessee is planning or is required by applicable Law to make in the succeeding calendar year pursuant to Section 10.1. Each Investments Notice shall include: (i) a description of the Investments and the design and material equipment to be used in such Investments; (ii) a proposed timeline for designing, engineering, procuring, permitting and constructing the respective Investments; and (iii) the expected total and monthly capital costs for Lessee to design, engineer, procure, permit

and construct the respective Investments. Lessee shall provide to Lessor such additional information with respect to the Investments as Lessor may reasonably request.

(b) If pursuant to Section 10.1, Lessor is not obligated to and does not elect, in its discretion, to finance any Investment, Lessee may, in its sole discretion, elect to finance the capital costs associated with such Investment as outlined in the Investments Notice.

(c) Within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Investments Notice, Lessor and Lessee shall promptly meet to agree on: (i) the final design and material equipment to be used in the respective Investments; (ii) the final timeline for designing, engineering, procuring, permitting and constructing the respective Investments; and (iii) the total capital costs (the “Investments Total Capital Costs”) and the monthly capital costs required to design, engineer, procure, permit and construct the respective Investments.

10.3 Title. Title to all Investments shall be and remain the property of Lessor and the other Owners, if any, and, to the extent of Lessor’s Percentage, it shall automatically become subject to this Facility Lease and be deemed part of the Unit 1 Facility for all purposes of this Facility Lease; provided, however, that if upon termination of this Facility Lease the Leased Facility is not purchased by Lessee, then any Investment made by Lessee that Lessor did not finance pursuant to Section 10.1 shall be purchased by Lessor or its designee pursuant to Section 15.1(b)(iv).

Lessor covenants and agrees that on and after the Decommissioning Completion Date and until the termination of this Facility Lease, unless otherwise approved by Lessee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed:

11.1 Change in Business. Lessor shall not engage in any business other than business relating to the development, design, engineering, procuring, permitting, constructing, commissioning, owning, leasing and financing of the Elm Road Facility, as contemplated by this Facility Lease and the other Lease Documents and activities incidental thereto, the Project Documents, the Elm Road II Facility Lease and any other agreements relating to the Future Unit.

Lessor shall not assume or guarantee or become obligated for the debts of any other Person other than as required or permitted by this Facility Lease and the other Lease Documents, the Project Documents, Elm Road II Facility Lease and any other agreements relating to the Future Unit.

11.5 Amendments to Constituent Documents. Lessor shall not amend or permit to be amended its Membership Agreement or other constituent documents or the rights attaching to membership interests in Lessor if such amendment could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Facility Lease and the other Lease Documents to which it is a party or the validity or enforceability of such Lease Documents.

11.7 Independent Director. If and only if Lessor is not an Affiliate of Lessee, Lessor shall ensure that its constituent documents require the favorable vote of one (1) independent director or independent member, as the case may be, before Lessor can take any of the following voluntary actions in anticipation of insolvency or bankruptcy:

(f) agree to be the subject of an order, judgment or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, approving a petition seeking reorganization of Lessor or appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Lessor or of all or a substantial part of Lessor’s assets.

12.1 Inspection. Upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice by Lessor, Lessee shall make the Unit 1 Facility and the Elm Road Site available to Lessor or its designee for inspection at reasonable times and under conditions reasonably acceptable to Lessee; provided that Lessor and its designees shall comply with all of Lessee’s reasonable rules and regulations, including security and safety requirements and any applicable insurance policies.

(a) Lessor and its designees shall have the right to enter upon the Elm Road Site for the purpose of exercising any of their rights or performing any of their obligations under this Facility Lease; provided that Lessor and its designees shall comply with all of Lessee’s reasonable rules and regulations, including security and safety requirements and any applicable insurance policies.

(b) Upon the occurrence and continuation of a Lessee Event of Default and the exercise of remedies by Lessor pursuant to Article 17, Lessor shall have the right to enter upon the Elm Road Site for the purpose of repossessing the Leased Facility. Lessor shall not be liable for any damage to Lessee’s property caused by the repossession of the Leased Facility pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(a) During the Lease Term, the risk of loss of or decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of the Unit 1 Facility as a result of the damage or destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise is assumed by Lessee, and Lessor shall not be answerable or accountable to Lessee therefor.

(b) Lessee shall notify Lessor of any Event of Loss with respect to the Unit 1 Facility (including a description of the loss of, destruction or damage to, or taking of the Unit 1 Facility) resulting in physical loss, destruction or damage to the Unit 1 Facility in excess of five hundred thousand Dollars ($500,000) or any Event of Total Loss occurring during the Lease Term. Following any Event of Loss with respect to the Unit 1 Facility occurring during the Lease Term, Lessee shall promptly repair the Unit 1 Facility or replace a component thereof, as

applicable so that the Unit 1 Facility shall have a current and residual value, remaining useful life and utility at least equal to that of the Unit 1 Facility prior to such Event of Loss, assuming the Unit 1 Facility was in the condition and repair required to be maintained by this Facility Lease. Lessee shall notify Lessor of the repairs to be undertaken with respect to the Unit 1 Facility and when such repairs are completed. Lessor and its designees shall be entitled to make a physical inspection of the damaged and restored property in accordance with Section 12.2.

(c) If an Event of Loss with respect to the Unit 1 Facility occurs and Lessee does not repair the Unit 1 Facility or replace a component thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1(b), then, unless and until Lessor terminates this Facility Lease in accordance with the terms hereof, Lessee shall be obligated to continue to pay Rent to Lessor under this Facility Lease in the same amount as would otherwise have been payable hereunder.

(d) If an Event of Total Loss with respect to the Unit 1 Facility occurs during the Lease Term or an “Event of Total Loss” under and as defined in the Elm Road I Ground Lease which has a material adverse effect on the Unit 1 Facility occurs during the Lease Term, then Lessor shall receive, retain and own any Condemnation Award and Loss Proceeds related to such Event(s) of Total Loss which are paid to Lessor for its own account under the insurance coverages Lessee is required to carry during the Lease Term pursuant to this Facility Lease (collectively, the “Recovered Loss Proceeds”) and this Facility Lease shall terminate effective one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such Event(s) of Total Loss. If the sum of the Recovered Loss Proceeds, plus Rent payable by Lessee through the termination of this Facility Lease (“Event of Total Loss Amount”) is greater than the then Aggregate Principal Amount, then Lessor shall pay to Lessee such difference within ninety (90) days of the date after the termination of this Facility Lease. If the Event(s) of Total Loss Amount is less than the then Aggregate Principal Amount, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, within ninety (90) days of the date of termination of this Facility Lease, the difference between the Event of Total Loss Amount and the Aggregate Principal Amount. If the Parties agree to apply the Recovered Loss Proceeds related to the Event of Total Loss to the repair or replacement of the Unit 1 Facility, this Facility Lease may be continued as amended by the mutual agreement of the Parties and as approved by the PSCW. The provisions of this Section 13.1(d) shall survive the termination of this Facility Lease.

13.2 Insurance. At all times during the Lease Term, Lessee shall maintain insurance with respect to the Unit 1 Facility in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 13.2. If Lessee fails to procure or maintain the full insurance coverage required by this Section 13.2, then Lessor may (but shall not be obligated to), upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (unless the aforementioned insurance would lapse within such period, in which event notice should be given as soon as reasonably possible) to Lessee of any such failure, take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on such required policies of insurance. All amounts so advanced therefor by Lessor shall become an additional obligation of Lessee hereunder, and Lessee shall forthwith pay such amounts to Lessor as Supplemental Rent, together with interest thereon from the date so advanced at the applicable Overdue Rate.

(a) No later than seven hundred thirty (730) days and no earlier than eight hundred fifty (850) days prior to the end of the Base Term and any Renewal Term, Lessor shall submit to Lessee, with a copy to the PSCW, a written list of proposed Appraisers. Lessee shall select one (1) of the Appraisers from Lessor’s list and give written notice thereof to Lessor and the PSCW. The PSCW shall either approve the Appraiser selected by Lessee or choose a different Appraiser from Lessor’s list. The Appraiser selected in accordance with this Section 14.1(a) (the “Independent Appraiser”) shall appraise the Unit 1 Facility in accordance with Section 14.1(b).

(b) Within ninety (90) days of appointment, the Independent Appraiser shall deliver to Lessor and Lessee a written report, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor (the “Appraisal Report”), which shall certify as to (i) the cash payment obtainable in an arm’s length sale of the Unit 1 Facility between an informed and willing purchaser under no compulsion to purchase and an informed and willing seller under no compulsion to sell at the end of the Base Term or the Renewal Term taking into account any Investments financed by Lessor, as the case may be (an amount equal to Lessor’s Percentage of such cash payment is herein referred to as the “Fair Market Value Purchase Price”) and (ii) in the case of an appraisal during the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, the Current Economic Useful Life of the Unit 1 Facility and the Appraised FMV of the Unit 1 Facility at the end of the subsequent Renewal Term taking into account any Investments; provided, however, that the Appraised FMV shall be determined without taking into account inflation or deflation occurring after the Lease Effective Date (including any inflation or deflation occurring during the respective Renewal Term).

(c) Within sixty (60) days of the date of an Appraisal Report, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing in accordance with Wisconsin Stat. § 196.52(9)(b)(8)(a) (the “Lessee Election Notice”) whether it elects: (i) to renew this Facility Lease in accordance with Section 14.2, provided, however, that such election occurs during the Base Term, the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, (ii) to purchase the Leased Facility in accordance with Section 14.4, or (iii) to terminate this Facility Lease in accordance with Section 14.5, provided, however, that if Lessee fails to timely deliver to Lessor a Lessee Election Notice, Lessee shall be deemed to have elected (A) in the case of the Base Term, the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, to renew this Facility Lease in accordance with Section 14.2 or (B) in the case of the Third Renewal Term, to terminate this Facility Lease in accordance with Section 14.5.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Lessee elects in the Lessee Election Notice to purchase the Leased Facility, Lessor shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the Lessee Election Notice to demonstrate to the PSCW, pursuant to Wisconsin Stat. § 196.52(9)(b)(8)(b), that a renewal of this Facility Lease rather than sale of the Leased Facility is necessary to avoid material adverse tax consequences to Lessor or its Affiliates and any other requirements as set forth in Wisconsin Stat. § 196.52(9)(b)(8)(b). If the PSCW

determines that a renewal of this Facility Lease is necessary in accordance with Wisconsin Stat. § 196.52(9)(b)(8)(b) within one hundred eighty (180) days of such demonstration or if the PSCW fails to make a determination within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, then this Facility Lease shall be renewed in accordance with Section 14.2. If the PSCW determines within such one hundred eighty (180) day period that Lessor has failed to demonstrate that renewal of this Facility Lease is necessary pursuant to Wisconsin Stat. § 196.52(9)(b)(8)(b), then Lessee shall purchase the Leased Facility in accordance with Section 14.4.

(a) If Lessee notifies Lessor in the Lessee Election Notice that it elects or is deemed to have elected to renew this Facility Lease pursuant to Section 14.1(c) or Section 14.1(d) or Lessee notifies Lessor in the Lessee Early Renewal Notice that it elects to renew this Facility Lease early pursuant to Section 14.3(c), then at the end of the Base Term, the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, this Facility Lease shall, subject to Section 14.2(b), automatically be extended for a period of time (such periods of time, the “First Renewal Term”, the “Second Renewal Term” and the “Third Renewal Term”, respectively) equal to (i)(A) in the case of the First Renewal Term, eighty percent (80%) of the Economic Useful Life of the Unit 1 Facility as determined by the Unit Appraiser pursuant to Section 4.6 or (B) in the case of the Second Renewal Term or the Third Renewal Term, eighty percent (80%) of the Current Economic Useful Life of the Unit 1 Facility as determined by the Independent Appraiser pursuant to Section 14.1(b) or the Early Renewal Independent Appraiser pursuant to Section 14.3(b), as the case may be, less (ii) the sum of the Base Term and any previous Renewal Terms, in each case expressed in calendar months, with any partial calendar month rounded down to the next whole calendar month, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable during the Base Term; provided, however, that Lessee shall pay to Lessor pursuant to Section 7.1 on each Rent Payment Date during the respective Renewal Term rent calculated in accordance with Schedule 14.2 (“Renewal Rent”) for the lease of the Leased Facility during the respective Renewal Term; provided, further, if any subsequent Renewal Term will be less than twenty four (24) months, then the provisions in Section 14.1(c) shall apply as if the existing Base Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, ends on the last day of such subsequent Renewal Term.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 14, in no event shall a Renewal Term extend beyond the earlier of: (i) (A) in the case of the First Renewal Term, the date as of which the Appraised FMV, as determined by the Unit Appraiser pursuant to Section 4.6, or (B) in the case of any Renewal Term (other than the First Renewal Term), the date as of which the Appraised FMV as determined by the Independent Appraiser pursuant to Section 14.1(b) or the Early Renewal Independent Appraiser pursuant to Section 14.3(b), as the case may be, is equal to or is less than twenty percent (20%) of the total Construction Costs incurred by or on behalf of Lessor to construct and commission the Unit 1 Facility, and (ii) the date as of which (A) in the case of the First Renewal Term, the sum of the Base Term and the First Renewal Term shall equal eighty percent (80%) of the Economic Useful Life of the Unit 1 Facility as determined by the Unit Appraiser pursuant to Section 4.6 and (B) in the case of any Renewal Term (other than the First Renewal Term), the sum of the Base Term, any previous Renewal

Terms and the subsequent Renewal Term shall equal eighty percent (80%) of the Current Economic Useful Life of the Unit 1 Facility, as determined by the Independent Appraiser pursuant to Section 14.1(b) or the Early Renewal Independent Appraiser pursuant to Section 14.3(b), as the case may be; it being the intent of the Parties that Lessee’s right to renew this Facility Lease shall not conflict with the Parties’ intent regarding the tax ownership of the Leased Facility for federal and state income tax purposes as more fully described in Section 6.2. If a Renewal Term would extend beyond the earlier of (i) and (ii) above, then the duration of such Renewal Term shall automatically and without any action on the part of the Parties be reduced so as to ensure that the provisions of this Section 14.2(b) are met, notwithstanding that the duration of such Renewal Term may be shorter than the duration prescribed for the Renewal Term in Section 14.2(a).

(a) If Lessee expects to make Investments to the Unit 1 Facility and one of the following conditions (each, an “Early Renewal Condition”) has been satisfied, then Lessee may in accordance with this Section 14.3 exercise its option to renew this Facility Lease early:

(i) If 75% - 79.99% of the Base Term, the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, shall have expired at the expected in-service date of such Investments and Lessor’s Percentage of such Investments is expected to cost $50,000,000 or more;

(ii) If 80% - 84.99% of the Base Term, the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, shall have expired at the expected in-service date of such Investments and Lessor’s Percentage of such Investments is expected to cost $40,000,000 or more;

(iii) If 85% - 89.99% of the Base Term, the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, shall have expired at the expected in-service date of such Investments and Lessor’s Percentage of such Investments is expected to cost $30,000,000 or more;

(iv) If 90% - 94.99% of the Base Term, the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, shall have expired at the expected in-service date of such Investments and Lessor’s Percentage of such Investments is expected to cost $20,000,000 or more; or

(v) If 95% or more of the Base Term, the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, shall have expired at the expected in-service date of such Investments and Lessor’s Percentage of such Investments is expected to cost $10,000,000 or more.

(b) If one of the Early Renewal Conditions has been satisfied, then within fifteen (15) days of such occurrence (or, if earlier, the date by which an application for a

certificate of public convenience and necessity with respect to such Investments is to be filed with the PSCW), Lessee may so notify Lessor in writing (each, an “Early Renewal Notice”). Lessee shall include in the Early Renewal Notice: (i) the Early Renewal Condition that has been satisfied; (ii) a description of the Investments (the “Renewal Triggering Plant Investment”) and the design and material equipment to be used in such Renewal Triggering Plant Investment; (iii) a proposed timeline for designing, engineering, procuring, permitting and constructing the Renewal Triggering Plant Investment; and (iv) Lessor’s Percentage of the expected total and monthly capital costs for Lessee to design, engineer, procure, permit and construct the Renewal Triggering Plant Investment. No later than fifteen (15) days after the date of the Early Renewal Notice, Lessor shall submit to Lessee, with a copy to the PSCW, a written list of proposed Appraisers. Lessee shall select one (1) of the Appraisers from Lessor’s list and give written notice thereof to Lessor and the PSCW. The PSCW shall either approve the Appraiser selected by Lessee or choose a different Appraiser from Lessor’s list. The Appraiser selected in accordance with this Section 14.3 (the “Early Renewal Independent Appraiser”) shall appraise Unit 1 Facility in accordance with this Section 14.3. The Early Renewal Independent Appraiser shall, within ninety (90) days of appointment, deliver to Lessor and Lessee a written report (the “Early Renewal Appraisal Report”), in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, which shall certify as to the (i) Fair Market Value Purchase Price of the Unit 1 Facility taking into account any Investments financed by Lessor and (ii) in the case of an appraisal during the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, the Current Economic Useful Life of the Unit 1 Facility and the Appraised FMV of the Unit 1 Facility at the end of the subsequent Renewal Term taking into account any Investments; provided, however, that the Appraised FMV shall be determined without taking into account inflation or deflation occurring after the Lease Effective Date (including any inflation or deflation occurring during the respective Renewal Term).

(c) Lessor shall if Lessee’s senior unsecured long-term debt is rated at least Investment Grade, finance Lessor’s Percentage of all capital costs associated with the Renewal Triggering Plant Investments identified in the Early Renewal Notice; provided that if Lessor assumes such responsibility, then within ninety (90) days after the date of the Early Renewal Appraisal Report, Lessee may elect, in its sole discretion, to renew this Facility Lease early by giving written notice thereof to Lessor (the “Lessee Early Renewal Notice”). If Lessor does not finance Lessor’s Percentage of the capital costs of such Renewal Triggering Plant Investment, then Lessee may not elect to renew this Facility Lease early in accordance with this Section 14.3 and the provisions of Section 10.2(b) shall apply.

(d) If Lessee delivers a Lessee Early Renewal Notice in accordance with Section 14.3(c), then:

(i) Lessor and Lessee shall promptly meet to agree on (A) the final design and material equipment to be used in the respective Renewal Triggering Plant Investment, (B) the final timeline for designing, engineering, procuring, permitting and constructing the respective Renewal Triggering Plant Investment and (C) the total and monthly capital required to design, engineer, procure, permit and construct the respective Renewal Triggering Plant Investment; and

(ii) at the end of the Base Term or the Renewal Term, as the case may be, this Facility Lease shall automatically be extended for a Renewal Term in accordance with Section 14.2 and Lessee shall pay to Lessor Renewal Rent on each Rent Payment Date during such Renewal Term in accordance with Section 14.2.

14.4 End of Term Purchase of Leased Facility. If Lessee timely notifies Lessor in a Lessee Election Notice that it wishes to purchase the Leased Facility in accordance with Section 14.1(d) (provided that the PSCW determines or fails to timely determine that a renewal of this Facility Lease is not necessary in accordance with Wisconsin Stat. § 196.52(9)(b)(8)(b)), then effective as of the last day of the Base Term or the Renewal Term, as the case may be:

(a) Lessee shall purchase all, but not less than all, of the Leased Facility at a price equal to the Fair Market Value Purchase Price as most recently determined by the Independent Appraiser or the Early Renewal Appraiser, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 14.1(b) or Section 14.3(b), respectively, plus any Supplemental Rent then due;

(b) Lessor shall transfer on an “as is” and “where is” basis (by an appropriate instrument of transfer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee (provided that such instrument of transfer shall not contain representations or warranties, express or implied, other than a representation and warranty as to the absence of Lessor’s Liens attributable to Lessor, the Member or the Lenders and a representation and warranty that Lessor has authority to sell the Leased Facility) and prepared and recorded at Lessee’s cost and expense) the Leased Facility to Lessee (or its designee);

(d) this Facility Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall cease to have any liability to Lessor with respect to the Leased Facility, except for obligations surviving pursuant to the express terms of this Facility Lease, provided that it shall be a condition of such termination that each of the Parties shall have performed their respective obligations pursuant to this Section 14.4 and that Lessee shall pay, subject to Section 7.2(c), all amounts due which it is obligated to pay under this Facility Lease;

(e) to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the provisions of the applicable Government Approvals, Lessor shall, at Lessee’s cost and expense, assign to Lessee or its designee, as the case may be, all of Lessor’s right, title and interest, if any, in all Government Approvals that are required to be obtained in connection with the ownership, use, operation or maintenance of the Unit 1 Facility;

(f) Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign to Lessee, at Lessee’s cost and expense, certain of Lessor’s right, title and interest, if any, in any Project Documents to which it is a party (but only such right, title and interest which it has in its capacity as Lessor under such Project Documents) in accordance with Exhibit E; and

(g) Lessor shall execute and deliver, and/or cause to be executed and delivered, all appropriate releases and other documents or instruments (and in such form) as Lessee may reasonably request to effect the foregoing and otherwise to release the Leased Facility from the terms of this Facility Lease, all of which shall be prepared, filed and, if appropriate, recorded at the cost and expense of Lessee.

(a) the Unit 1 Facility shall be in a condition at least as good as the condition in which the Unit 1 Facility would have been if Lessee had maintained the Unit 1 Facility in accordance with Article 9 (Ordinary Wear and Tear excepted);

(b) there shall exist no Lien with respect to the Unit 1 Facility except Lessor’s Liens attributable to Lessor or the Member and Permitted Encumbrances, unless Lessee shall have insured or bonded for any such Liens in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessor; and

(c) Lessee shall make the Unit 1 Facility available to be inspected and appraised, by the Inspection Independent Engineer, at Lessee’s sole cost, at any time during the ninety (90) day period immediately prior to the expiration of the Lease Term (or such earlier date as may be required by the provisions of this Facility Lease). Lessor shall submit to Lessee, with a copy to the PSCW, a written list of approved Inspection Engineers. Lessee shall select one (1) of the Inspection Engineers from Lessor’s list and give written notice thereof to Lessor and the PSCW. The PSCW shall either approve of the Inspection Engineer selected by Lessee or choose a different Inspection Engineer from Lessor’s list. The Inspection Engineer selected in accordance with this Section 15.2(c) (the “Inspection Independent Engineer”) shall inspect and appraise the Unit 1 Facility and, separately, any Lessee-financed Investments, no later than sixty (60) days after PSCW approval and deliver a written report (the “End of Term Inspection Report”) to Lessor and Lessee in which the Inspection Independent Engineer shall opine as to: (i) the need for any modifications or maintenance required at that point in time other than modifications or maintenance needed as a result of Ordinary Wear and Tear on the Unit 1 Facility (“Exceptional Maintenance”); (ii) the amount that the Unit 1 Facility’s Fair Market Value is diminished as of the date of the End of Term Inspection Report due to the need to undertake Exceptional Maintenance (the “Exceptional Maintenance Amount”); and (iii) the Fair Market Value of any Lessee-financed Investments, taking into account the Fair Market Value of the Unit 1 Facility, as a whole, and the useful life of such Lessee-financed Investments. If the Independent Inspection Engineer reports that Exceptional Maintenance is needed, then the PSCW shall review the End of Term Inspection Report and, if the PSCW approves the Exceptional Maintenance Amount, Lessee shall pay Lessor’s Percentage of such approved Exceptional Maintenance Amount to Lessor upon return of the Leased Facility to Lessor.

At any time after the Decommissioning Completion Date, the following shall constitute events of default by Lessee under this Facility Lease (each, a “Lessee Event of Default”):

16.1 Payment Default. Any amount due and payable by Lessee under this Facility Lease or any other Lease Document to which it is a party shall not have been paid within thirty (30) days of its respective due date and after notice thereof by Lessor.

16.2 Misrepresentation. Any representation or warranty of Lessee contained in this Facility Lease or any other Lease Document to which it is a party is false or misleading in any material respect when made, deemed made or reaffirmed, as the case may be, and would, if

capable of being corrected, still be incorrect sixty (60) days later with reference to the facts and circumstances existing on such later date and which has a Material Adverse Effect.

16.3 Covenant Defaults. Lessee defaults in the performance or observance of any of its other material obligations under this Facility Lease (other than provided for in Section 16.1 and Section 16.2) or any other Lease Document to which it is a party and such default continues unremedied for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof by Lessor; provided, however, that such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for an additional ninety (90) days so long as such default is remediable and Lessee is diligently pursuing such remedy.

16.4 Judgment Default. One or more final judgments in the aggregate in excess of one hundred million Dollars ($100,000,000), to the extent not paid or covered by insurance provided by an insurance carrier who has acknowledged coverage in writing, shall be rendered against Lessee and shall not be discharged within ninety (90) days from the date of entry thereof.

(a) applied for or consented to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Lessee or of all or a substantial part of Lessee’s assets;

(b) been adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due;

(d) filed a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or arrangement with creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency Law;

(e) filed an answer admitting the material allegations of, or consented to, or defaulted in answering, a petition filed against it in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings; or

(f) been the subject of an order, judgment or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, approving a petition seeking reorganization of Lessee or appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Lessee or of all or a substantial part of Lessee’s assets, and such order, judgment or decree shall have continued unstayed and in effect for a period of at least sixty (60) consecutive days.

16.6 Lack of Government Approvals. Any Government Approval required by applicable Law for the continued performance by Lessee of its obligations under this Facility Lease or any other Lease Document to which it is party shall have been revoked, suspended, modified or withdrawn, and Lessee shall have failed to restore such Government Approval within one hundred eighty (180) days after such revocation, suspension, modification or withdrawal, and such revocation, suspension, modification or withdrawal has a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Lessor Remedies. If a Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing during the Construction Term then Lessor may, subject to Lessor delivering to Lessee a Purchase Price Notice (with the Purchase Price calculated as of the date of such notice), exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 5.6, provided that for purposes of exercising its rights and remedies under Section 5.4 and Section 5.6, Lessee shall be deemed to have failed to achieve the Lease Effective Date by the Required Lease Effective Date in accordance with Section 5.4(a) and the Required Lease Effective Date shall be deemed to be the date upon which the Purchase Price Notice is delivered pursuant hereto.

(b) Lessee Remedies. Subject to Section 17.3, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, if Lessor shall (i) fail to perform or breach any of its material obligations under Articles 2, 3, 4 and 5 during the Construction Term, Lessee’s sole and exclusive remedies shall be those remedies, if any, expressly provided for therein, and to the maximum extent permitted by Law, Lessee expressly waives any other rights or remedies available to it at law or in equity, and (ii) fail to perform or breach any of its other material obligations under this Facility Lease during the Construction Term, and such default continues unremedied for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof by Lessee, provided, however, that such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for an additional ninety (90) days so long as such default is remediable and Lessor is diligently pursuing such remedy, then Lessee may, upon written notice to Lessor, declare this Facility Lease to be in default, and at any time, subject to Section 17.3 and the other terms of this Facility Lease, Lessee shall have all remedies available to it at law or in equity.

(a) Lessor Remedies. Subject to Section 17.3(a), whenever during the Lease Term any Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor may, upon written notice to Lessee, declare this Facility Lease to be in default, and at any time thereafter, so long as all outstanding Lessee Events of Default shall not have been remedied, Lessor may take any one or more of the following actions as Lessor in its sole discretion shall elect, to the extent permitted by and subject to compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable Law:

(i) Lessor shall have the right to demand in writing that Lessee pay to Lessor immediately, as and for final liquidated damages and not as a penalty, but exclusive of any indemnities and other amounts payable by Lessee under this Facility Lease, and in lieu of all damages (including Rent (other than Supplemental Rent)) beyond the date of such demand (the “Demand Date”), and Lessee shall immediately pay the Termination Value for the Leased Facility determined as of the Rent Payment Date immediately preceding the Demand Date (it being agreed that the Termination Value shall be adjusted by subtracting therefrom any Basic Rent and/or Renewal Rent, as the case may be, previously paid by Lessee which is attributable to any period occurring on or after the Demand Date and adding thereto any Basic Rent and/or

Renewal Rent, as the case may be, which has not been paid by Lessee but which has accrued for any portion of the Lease Term occurring prior to the Demand Date); provided that if a Lessee Event of Default described in Section 16.5 shall occur, the Termination Value determined in accordance with this Section 17.2(a)(i) shall automatically, and without any action on the part of Lessor, become immediately due and payable. Concurrently with the payment by Lessee of the Termination Value to Lessor pursuant to this Section 17.2(a) and the payment of all Supplemental Rent due and owing under the Lease Documents to the Persons entitled thereto:

(A) Basic Rent or Renewal Rent, as the case may be, for the Leased Facility shall cease to accrue;

(B) this Facility Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall cease to have any liability to Lessor with respect to the Leased Facility, except for Supplemental Rent and other obligations surviving pursuant to the express terms of this Facility Lease and any other Lease Document; provided that it shall be a condition of such termination that Lessee shall pay all amounts (including Supplemental Rent) due which it is obligated to pay under this Facility Lease and the other Lease Documents;

(C) Lessor shall transfer on an “as is” and “where is” basis (by an appropriate instrument of transfer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee (provided that such instrument of transfer shall not contain representations or warranties, express or implied, other than a representation and warranty as to the absence of Lessor’s Liens attributable to Lessor or the Member and a representation and warranty that Lessor has the authority to sell the Leased Facility) and prepared and recorded at Lessee’s cost and expense) the Leased Facility to Lessee (or its designee);

(D) Lessor, shall execute and deliver and/or cause to be executed and delivered to Lessee, all appropriate releases and other documents or instruments and in such form as Lessee may reasonably request to effect the foregoing (including the assignment of certain of Lessor’s right, title and interest in the Project Documents to which it is a party (but only such right, title and interest which it has in its capacity as Lessor under such Project Documents)) in accordance with Exhibit E and otherwise to release the Leased Facility from the terms of this Facility Lease, all of which shall be prepared, filed and, if appropriate, recorded at Lessee’s cost and expense; and

(E) to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the provisions of the applicable Government Approvals, Lessor shall, at Lessee’s cost and expense, assign to Lessee or its designee, as the case may be, all of Lessor’s right, title and interest, if any, in all Government Approvals that are required to be obtained in connection with the ownership, use, operation or maintenance of the Unit 1 Facility.

(ii) Lessor may (A) terminate this Facility Lease as of the date specified in writing to Lessee and (B) declare the entire balance of Basic Rent and/or Renewal Rent, as the case may be, to be due and payable together with accrued unpaid Basic Rent and/or Renewal Rent, as the case may be, and any other Supplemental Rent payable under this Facility

Lease and the other Lease Documents; provided that no reletting or taking possession of the Leased Facility by or on behalf of Lessor shall be construed as a termination of this Facility Lease by Lessor unless Lessor has delivered written notice of its intent to terminate this Facility Lease;

(iii) Lessee shall, upon Lessor’s written demand, surrender to Lessor possession of the Leased Facility in the manner and condition required under Article 15 as if the Leased Facility were being returned upon the Base Term Expiration Date and Lessee shall quit the same. Lessor may act to repossess the Leased Facility by such means as are available at law or in equity. Lessor shall have no liability by reason of any such repossession performed in accordance with Law;

(iv) Lessor may relet all, or any portion, of the Leased Facility, for the account of Lessee, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term) and on such conditions and for such purposes as Lessor may determine. Lessor may collect, receive and retain the rents resulting from such reletting. If the amount of such rents during any period is less than the Basic Rent or Renewal Rent, as the case may be, to be paid during that period by Lessee hereunder, Lessee shall pay any deficiency, as calculated by Lessor, to Lessor on the next Rent Payment Date;

(v) Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under applicable Law or proceed by appropriate court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms hereof and/or to recover damages for the breach hereof; and

(vi) Lessor shall be entitled to enforce payment of the indebtedness and performance of the obligations secured hereby and to exercise all rights and powers under this Facility Lease or any Laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Facility Lease nor its enforcement shall prejudice or in any manner affect Lessor’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Lessor, it being agreed that Lessor shall be entitled to enforce this instrument and any other security now or hereafter held by Lessor in such order and manner as Lessor may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Lease Documents to Lessor or to which it may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lessor. In no event shall Lessor, in the exercises of the remedies provided in this Facility Lease, be deemed a mortgagee in possession, and Lessor shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.

(b) Lessee Remedies. If Lessor fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Facility Lease during the Lease Term, and such default continues unremedied for a

period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof by Lessee, provided, however, that such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for an additional ninety (90) days so long as such default is remediable and Lessor is diligently pursuing such remedy, then Lessee may, upon written notice to Lessor, declare this Facility Lease to be in default, and at any time, subject to Section 17.3 and the other terms of this Facility Lease, Lessee shall have all remedies available to it at law or in equity.

17.3 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Facility Lease, the Parties acknowledge and agree that:

(a) upon the declaration of a Lessee Event of Default in accordance with Section 17.2, the maximum amount due and owing by Lessee under this Facility Lease shall be the Termination Value determined in accordance with Section 17.2(a)(i), plus all Supplemental Rent due and owing under the Lease Documents to the Persons entitled thereto, less any Loss Proceeds or Condemnation Award received by Lessor for its own account in connection therewith and not provided to Lessee;

(b) Lessor and the Member shall have no personal liability to Lessee or its respective successors and permitted assigns for any claim based on or in respect of this Facility Lease or any other Lease Document or arising in any way from the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (other than for Lessor’s Liens attributable to Lessor or the Member, as the case may be), and the recourse shall be solely had against Lessor’s and the Member’s interest in the Leased Facility, as the case may be, and the Lease Documents;

(c) Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any costs or expenses incurred by Lessee in accordance with the fulfillment of its obligations under this Facility Lease and any other Lease Document to which it is a party; and

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall be liable to the other Party under this Facility Lease for any consequential, exemplary or punitive damages.

17.4 No Delay or Omission to be Construed as Waiver. No delay in exercising or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to a Party upon any breach or default by the other Party under this Facility Lease and any other Lease Document to which it is a party shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such Party, nor shall any such delay or omission be construed as a waiver of any breach or default, or of any similar breach or default hereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of a single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

Neither Party shall directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) on or with respect to the Leased Facility or any part thereof

or its interest or the other Party’s interest therein or in this Facility Lease or any other Lease Document to which it is a party.

19.1 General Indemnity. Each Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify the other Party, their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (each an “Indemnitee”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all Claims that may at any time be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to: (a) the execution, delivery or performance by the Indemnifying Party of this Facility Lease and any other Lease Document to which it is a party; (b) any breach or default by the Indemnifying Party of any of its covenants or representations and warranties under this Facility Lease or any other Lease Document to which it is a party; (c) any violation by the Indemnifying Party of any applicable Law or Government Approval; and (d) any Environmental Claim arising out of the management, use, control, ownership or operation, as the case may be, by the Indemnifying Party of the Unit 1 Facility or the Elm Road Site; provided, however, that in no event shall an Indemnitee be indemnified for any such Claim caused by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

19.2 Tax Indemnity. The Parties acknowledge and agree to comply with the tax indemnity requirements set forth in Schedule 19.2.

19.3 Survival. The provisions of this Article 19 shall survive termination of this Facility Lease.

(a) No later than sixty (60) days prior to the Lease Effective Date, the Lessee shall submit to the PSCW, with a copy to Lessor, a written list of Independent Auditing Firms. The PSCW shall select one (1) of the Independent Auditing Firms (the “Compliance Auditor”) and give written notice thereof to Lessor and Lessee.

(b) The Compliance Auditor shall perform an annual audit of Lessor’s and Lessee’s compliance with the following provisions of this Facility Lease: Article 7, Section 8.5, Articles 10, 11, Section 13.1(d), Articles 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, and Sections 22.3 and 22.7. The Compliance Auditor’s reports shall be public and shall be filed with the PSCW. The Lessor and/or the Lessee shall either make all adjustments determined to be required under the terms of this Facility Lease by the Compliance Auditor, or, if Lessor or Lessee disagrees with the judgment of the Compliance Auditor, the Lessor or the Lessee shall submit the Dispute to the PSCW for resolution in an expedited regulatory proceeding. Any such proceeding shall be public and Lessee’s customers as well as all other interested parties shall have a right to intervene.

20.2 General Provisions. Any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Facility Lease may be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Sections 20.3 through 20.9 to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provided, however, that any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Facility Lease pursuant to Section 20.1, Article 5 of Schedule 3.1(a), or Chapter 196 of the Wisconsin statutes shall be subject to the procedures set forth in Section 20.1, Article 5 of Schedule 3.1(a), or Chapter 196.

20.3 Negotiation. In the event of a Dispute, the Parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve such Dispute by negotiations within five (5) Business Days from the date a Party gives written notice to the other Party of such Dispute, including a description of the Dispute. If a Dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation during such five (5) Business Day period, the Parties’ Project Managers shall meet at least once and shall attempt to resolve such controversy or claim. Either Project Manager may request the other Project Manager to meet within five (5) Business Days of such request at a mutually agreed upon time and place. Such request must be in writing and include a description of the nature of the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within five (5) Business Days from the date of the first meeting of the Project Managers (or, if the Project Managers fail to meet within the applicable period required by this Section 20.3), then the Project Managers shall refer the Dispute to the Party’s Senior Executives who shall have authority to settle the Dispute. Thereupon, each Project Manager shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Parties’ Senior Executives and the other Project Manager a memorandum describing the Dispute and their positions and summarizing any negotiations which have taken place, together with all relevant documents. The Senior Executives shall meet within five (5) Business Days from the exchange of such memoranda, at a mutually agreed time and place.

(a) Expedited Arbitration. Individual Disputes involving claims or requesting payments in an amount equal to or less than one million Dollars ($1,000,000) and Aggregated Disputes less than or equal to five million Dollars ($5,000,000) that are not resolved under Section 20.3, within ten (10) Business Days of the first meeting of the Senior Executives (or if the Senior Executives fail to meet within the applicable period required by Section 20.3, the last day on which the Senior Executives were required by Section 20.3 to meet), shall be resolved through expedited arbitration conducted by an Independent Attorney in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules’ expedited procedures. Selection of the Independent Attorney shall commence upon a Party giving notice to the other Party of its election to so initiate expedited arbitration proceedings. Lessor and Lessee shall each select one (1) Attorney and provide notice thereof to the other Party and the PSCW, provided, however, that for so long as Lessee is an Affiliate of Lessor, the PSCW shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of Lessee’s notice to provide Lessee written notice that it does not approve of Lessee’s selected Attorney and the name of an Attorney acceptable to the PSCW. The two Attorneys shall promptly meet and select a third Attorney (the “Independent Attorney”) who shall preside over the expedited arbitral proceedings pursuant to this Section 20.4(a). Should the two Attorneys fail within five (5) Business Days of meeting to reach agreement on the Independent Attorney, then the Independent Attorney shall be selected under the Commercial Arbitration Rules’ expedited procedures. A copy of the award of the Independent Attorney shall be filed with the Compliance Auditor and the PSCW.

(b) Non-Expedited Arbitration. Individual Disputes involving claims or requesting payments in an amount over one million Dollars ($1,000,000) and Aggregated Disputes over five million Dollars ($5,000,000) that are not resolved under Section 20.3, within ten (10) Business Days of the first meeting of the Senior Executives (or if the Senior Executives fail to meet within the applicable period required by Section 20.3, the last day on which the Senior Executives were required by Section 20.3 to meet), shall be resolved by binding arbitration by the Independent Arbitrator in accordance with this Section 20.4(b). Selection of the Independent Arbitrator shall commence upon a Party giving notice to the other Party of its election to so initiate arbitration proceedings. Lessor and Lessee shall each select one (1) Arbitrator and provide notice thereof to the other Party and the PSCW, provided, however, that for so long as Lessee is an Affiliate of Lessor, the PSCW shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of Lessee’s notice to provide Lessee written notice that it does not approve of Lessee’s selected Arbitrator and the name of an Arbitrator acceptable to the PSCW. The two Arbitrators shall promptly meet and select a third Arbitrator (the “Independent Arbitrator”) who shall preside over the arbitral proceedings pursuant to this Section 20.4(b); provided, however, that if such Dispute is a Technical Dispute, the two Arbitrators selected by or on behalf of Lessor and Lessee shall choose the Independent Arbitrator from the list of Arbitrators approved by the American Arbitration Association. Should the two Arbitrators fail, within five (5) Business Days of meeting, to reach agreement on the Independent Arbitrator, then the Independent Arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary, the arbitration shall be conducted in Wisconsin in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in force and effect, including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection. All Disputes among Lessor and Lessee that arise under or in connection with one or more Lease Documents may be brought in a single arbitration. In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon the request of either Party to the arbitration proceeding, the Independent Arbitrator shall consolidate the arbitration proceeding brought under this Facility Lease with any other arbitration proceeding involving the Parties relating to this Facility Lease or any other Lease Document if the Independent Arbitrator determines (A) there are issues of fact or law common to the proceeding, so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings and (B) no Party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise.

(a) It is the intent of the Parties that the Independent Arbitrator exercise due diligence to expedite full submission of the Dispute and closing of the arbitration hearings barring extraordinary circumstances. Any arbitration hereunder shall be concluded as promptly as practicable. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, once commenced, hearings shall be held five (5) days a week (Monday through Friday), with each hearing day to begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at 5:00 p.m. The Parties may by agreement alter these limits, or the Independent Arbitrator may alter these limits if the Independent Arbitrator determines that the interests of justice require such. The Independent Arbitrator shall use best efforts to issue the final award or awards within forty (40) Business Days after closing the hearings, or if hearings have been waived, from the date of the AAA’s transmittal of the final statements and proofs to the Independent Arbitrator. Failure to do so shall not be a basis for challenging the award.

(b) To promote a speedy resolution of Disputes, the Parties agree that discovery shall be limited to that required by the Independent Arbitrator and shall be handled expeditiously. Each Party shall produce relevant and non-privileged documents or copies thereof requested by the other Party within the time limits set and to the extent required by order of the Independent Arbitrator. Depositions shall not be taken or interrogatories served or requests to admit expected as a matter of course and shall be propounded only upon order of the Independent Arbitrator. It is the intention of the Parties that all discovery shall be concluded within thirty (30) Business Days of the date the statement of claim is received by the Independent Arbitrator unless such Independent Arbitrator rules that more time is required in the interests of justice and to obtain a fair and informed result. All disputes regarding discovery shall be promptly resolved by the Independent Arbitrator.

(c) Following closing of the hearings, the Independent Arbitrator shall render its written award as provided by the Commercial Arbitration Rules. The award shall include findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which the award is based. The Independent Arbitrator shall base the written award on the applicable law chosen by the Parties. A copy of the award of the Independent Arbitrator shall be filed with the Compliance Auditor and the PSCW.

(d) The Parties shall equally share the cost of the fee or honorarium of the Independent Arbitrator. Each Party agrees to pay its own legal fees, including stenographic costs and other hearing-related expenses, such as travel, lodging, and any service charges required by the AAA. The Independent Arbitrator may in its written award render an award of attorneys’ fees and all other costs of the arbitration against the losing Party in whole or in part as the Independent Arbitrator so determines.

20.6 Deadlines. All deadlines specified in this Article 20 may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties.

20.7 Statutes of Limitation. All applicable statutes of limitation shall be tolled while the procedures specified in Section 20.3 through Section 20.9 are pending. The Parties shall take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.

20.8 Binding Upon Parties. In the resolution of any Dispute pursuant to this Article 20, each of the Parties, their Project Managers and Senior Executives and any Independent Attorney or Independent Arbitrator appointed pursuant hereto, shall give effect to this Article 20.

20.9 Continued Performance. Notwithstanding any Dispute between the Parties and/or pending the final decision of the PSCW, Independent Attorney or the Independent Arbitrator of a Dispute hereunder, (a) each Party shall continue to perform its respective obligations under this Facility Lease, and (b) neither Party shall exercise any other remedies hereunder arising by virtue of the matters in dispute.

20.10 Survival. The provisions of this Article 20 shall survive termination of this Facility Lease.

21.1 Non-Disclosure Obligations. Each Party agrees that it, its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and advisors will use any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets of another Party solely for the purpose of implementing this Facility Lease and the other Lease Documents. Each Party further agrees that a receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information or Trade Secrets only to such directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and advisors who are involved in the receiving Party’s implementation of this Facility Lease and other Lease Documents, and then only on a need to know basis. Each Party agrees that it will not (and each Party shall take full responsibility for ensuring that all of its Affiliates and all of its and its Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and advisors do not) in any way disclose, communicate, transfer or use (other than as permitted by this Section 21.1) any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets of another Party, without the prior written consent in each instance of such other Party; provided, however, that Lessor shall have the right to disclose such Confidential Information or Trade Secrets without the consent of Lessee to any Person (and its agents and advisors) contemplating a purchase, directly or indirectly, of all or an interest in Lessor or the Unit 1 Facility, provided that such Person agrees that it (and its agents and advisors) will maintain such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 21. The covenants in the preceding sentence shall apply for as long as the underlying information or data remains a Trade Secret; and with respect to Confidential Information, shall apply for two (2) years after the expiration or termination of this Facility Lease.

21.2 Return of Material. Each Party agrees that it will promptly return to the disclosing Party all Confidential Information and Trade Secrets received from such disclosing Party within five (5) days following the written request of the disclosing Party after any expiration or termination of this Facility Lease. The return of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets shall be accomplished by personal delivery or forwarded by reputable couriers properly addressed to the disclosing Party at the addresses set forth on Schedule 22.4. As an alternative, the receiving Party may destroy all such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, and certify to the disclosing Party that such destruction has been carried out.

21.3 Law. Each Party agrees that if it becomes subject to a subpoena or other Law to disclose any of the Confidential Information or Trade Secrets of another Party, it will provide such Party with prompt notice so that such Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If such protective order or other appropriate remedy is denied or otherwise not obtained, the Party required to furnish the information shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information and/or Trade Secrets which is, in the opinion of its counsel, legally compelled, and will cooperate with the other Party and its counsel to enable the other Party to attempt to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information and/or Trade Secrets to be disclosed.

22.1 Applicable Law. THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS FACILITY LEASE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WISCONSIN.

22.2 Jury Trial. EACH OF LESSEE AND LESSOR WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS FACILITY LEASE OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS FACILITY LEASE AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

22.3 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as no Lessee Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and subject in all events to Section 7.3), Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the use, operation and possession of the Leased Facility for the Lease Term free of any claim or other action by Lessor or anyone rightfully claiming by, through or under Lessor.

(d) No less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to a proposed Transfer by Lessor of all of its rights, benefits, advantages, titles and interests in and to this Facility Lease and each Lease Document to which it is a party and the Leased Facility and all replacements thereof and substitutions therefor, including all Investments thereto, in each case, pursuant to Section 22.7(c) to an Acceptable Assignee (other than an Affiliate), Lessor shall provide Lessee written notice of such proposed Transfer, including the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and the name of the Acceptable Assignee. Lessee shall have sixty (60) days from receipt of such notice to notify Lessor in writing of its election to exercise its right of first refusal to purchase the Transferred Interest on the same terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer; provided, however, that if Lessee fails to notify Lessor of its election to exercise its right of first refusal within such 60-day period, Lessee shall be deemed to have waived its right of first refusal with respect to such proposed Transfer. If Lessee notifies Lessor of its election to exercise its right of first refusal within such 60-day period, then within thirty (30) days of delivery of such notice to Lessor, Lessee and Lessor shall meet to negotiate the terms and conditions of the transfer documents (the “Transfer Documents”) by which Lessor shall Transfer the Transferred Interest to Lessee; provided, that the terms and conditions of the Transfer Documents shall be no less favorable to Lessor than the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer of the Transferred Interest by Lessor to the Acceptable Assignee. Upon consummation of the Transfer by Lessor and Lessee pursuant to the Transfer Documents, this Facility Lease shall terminate and each of the Parties shall cease to have any liability to one another with respect to the Leased Facility and each other Lease Document to which it is a party, except for obligations surviving pursuant to the express terms of this Facility Lease and the other Lease Documents, provided that it shall be a condition of such termination that each of the Parties shall have performed their respective obligations pursuant to the Lease Documents and the Transfer Documents and that each Party

shall pay all amounts due which it is obligated to pay under the Lease Documents and the Transfer Documents.

(e) The Parties acknowledge that they have entered into the Right of First Refusal Agreement with WEC and the Member.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that determination of the Applicable Cost of Debt as provided below should result in a cost of debt in the overall cost of capital that is reasonable, prudent and in the best interests of Lessee’s customers throughout the Lease Term:

(a) Construction Term. Unless otherwise determined under Section 1.1(b), the Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) during the Construction Term shall be equal to the actual all-in interest rate paid by Lessor to finance the Construction Costs.

(b) Lease Term. The Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) during the Lease Term applicable to the Leased Facility (other than Investments thereto) shall be based upon the Cost of Debt Index. At any time during the one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Lease Effective Date, Lessor shall select a cost of debt (in %) from the Cost of Debt Index (as defined in Section 1.3 below) during such period based on the lowest rated senior unsecured long term debt of WEC. The Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) during the Lease Term shall be equal to the cost of debt so selected by Lessor, plus an amount (in %) to reflect debt financing costs pursuant to Section 1.1(d). Lessor shall ensure that the debt financing represented by such Applicable Cost of Debt shall provide for a call or refinancing option exercisable on or after the 10^th anniversary of such debt financing (the “Refinancing Option”). Within ninety (90) days of entering into definitive documentation of such debt financing, Lessor shall provide Lessee written notice of the principal terms and conditions of the Refinancing Option, including, without limitation, the last date which by the Refinancing Option must be exercised (the “Exercise Date”) and any breakage costs or make-whole amounts or other refinancing premiums associated therewith.

(c) Refinancing During Lease Term. If Lessee determines that the Refinancing Option should be exercised, then it shall provide written notice thereof to Lessor not later than ninety (90) days prior to the Exercise Date, and any such notice shall be irrevocable. If Lessor receives such a notice from Lessee, it shall be obligated to exercise the Refinancing Option. Commencing on the date the Refinancing Option has been exercised and the associated debt has been repaid or refinanced (the “Refinancing Effective Date”), the Applicable Cost of Debt during the Lease Term shall be redetermined in accordance with Section 1.1(b), provided that for purposes of applying Section 1.1(b), the Refinancing Effective Date shall be used instead of the Lease Effective Date and Lessor shall not be obligated to provide for an additional Refinancing Option. Within sixty (60) days after the Refinancing Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonable practicable, Lessor shall provide written notice to Lessee of all of the third-party costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Lessor in connection with the exercise

of the Refinancing Option, including, without limitation, any breakage costs or make-whole amounts or other refinancing premiums and all legal, accounting and financial advisor fees and expenses associated therewith. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice from Lessor, Lessee shall pay the aggregate amount of costs and expenses specified in such notice to or for the account of Lessor as Lessor shall direct in such notice in immediately available funds in Dollars.

(d) Financing Costs. All costs incurred to underwrite, issue and distribute debt securities and arrange for debt financing (including SEC registration fees, trustee fees, printing costs, legal fees, accounting fees and rating agency fees), shall be included in determining the all-in Applicable Cost of Debt for the Leased Facility during both the Construction Term and the Lease Term.

(a) During Construction. Unless otherwise determined under Section 1.2(b), for all Investments under construction (and prior to deemed completion and in-service) begun after the Lease Effective Date, the Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) shall be equal to the actual interest rate paid by Lessor to finance the cost of constructing such Investments.

(b) After In-Service Date. For Investments deemed completed and in-service after the Lease Effective Date, at anytime after the Investments are eighty percent (80%) or more complete, but in any event no later than prior to the expected in-service date of the Investments, Lessor shall select a cost of debt (in %) from the Cost of Debt Index during such period based on the lowest rated senior unsecured long term debt of WEC. The Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) in respect of such Investments shall be equal to the cost of debt so selected by Lessor, plus an amount (in %) to reflect the debt financing costs pursuant to Section 1.2(c).

(c) Financing Costs. All costs incurred to underwrite, issue and distribute debt securities and arrange for debt financing (including SEC registration fees, trustee fees, printing fees, legal fees, accounting fees, and rating agency fees), shall be included in determining the all-in Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) for Investments during both the construction phase and after the in-service date of the Investment.

(a) New Common Facilities Ownership Interest Transferred Out. The Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) for New Common Facilities Ownership Interests being transferred out of this Facility Lease as a result of a New Common Facilities Adjustment Event shall be the weighted average of (1) the Applicable Cost of Debt during the Lease Term (adjusted as necessary for exercise of the Refinancing Option) for the portion of the New Common Facilities Ownership Interest transferred out as constructed at the start of the Lease Term, and (2) the Applicable Cost of Debt for the portion of Investments in New Common Facilities

transferred out, including Investments under construction and Investments deemed completed and in-service after the Lease Effective Date.

(b) New Common Facilities Ownership Interest Transferred In. The Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) for New Common Facilities Ownership Interests being transferred into this Facility Lease as a result of a New Common Facilities Adjustment Event shall be the weighted average of (1) the Applicable Cost of Debt during the Lease Term (adjusted as necessary for exercise of the Refinancing Option) for the portion of the New Common Facilities Ownership Interests transferred in as constructed at the start of the Lease Term, and (2) the Applicable Cost of Debt for any related Investments in New Common Facilities transferred in, including Investments under construction and Investments deemed completed and in-service after the Lease Effective Date.

(a) For purposes of this Annex B to Schedule 7.1, the “Cost of Debt Index” shall mean “Moody’s Daily Long-Term Corporate Bond Yield Averages” for “Utilities” published by Moody’s Investors Services (“Moody’s”) or any successor index published by Moody’s. If the “Moody’s Daily Long-Term Corporate Bond Yield Averages” for “Utilities” or any successor index is no longer published by Moody’s, or the lowest rated senior unsecured debt for WEC (or the Moody’s equivalent rating, if such debt is not rated by Moody’s) is rated below the lowest rating listed on the Cost of Debt Index, then an alternative index shall be used for the Cost of Debt Index which shall be selected by Lessor and approved by the PSCW.

(b) For purposes of selecting the cost of debt (in %) from the Cost of Debt Index, if the lowest rated senior unsecured debt for WEC (or the Moody’s equivalent rating, if such debt is not rated by Moody’s) is rated at one of the ratings listed on the Cost of Debt Index, then the cost of debt for such rating shall be used for purposes of determining the Applicable Cost of Debt.

(c) If, however, the lowest rated senior unsecured debt for WEC (or the Moody’s equivalent rating, if such debt is not rated by Moody’s) is rated at a rating that is not listed on the Cost of Debt Index, then for purposes of determining the Applicable Cost of Debt, Lessor shall calculate the cost of debt (in %) by using the average of the two costs of debt that are listed on the Cost of Debt Index under the ratings immediately above and below such WEC rating.

The Monthly Average Rate Based Adjustment (“MARBA”) shall be established as of the Lease Effective Date (to be utilized throughout the Base Term and any Renewal Terms) and is calculated as follows:

Lessor’s New Common Facilities Ownership Percentage of each Component shall be determined as follows: ²

For purposes of this Schedule 7.4, the “Measurement Basis” means the design capacity, electrical output, tonnage or other measurement of the Elm Road Facility and Existing Units which is appropriate for use in allocating the New Common Facilities Ownership Percentage of a Component as set forth in Exhibit A.

A. With respect to a New Common Facilities Adjustment Event pursuant to Section 7.4(i):

1. Lessor will determine the Net Book Value of its New Common Facilities Ownership Interest in each Component which shall equal its applicable New Common Facilities Ownership Percentage of the original cost of each such Component less book depreciation to date as determined by Lessor, plus the original cost of Lessor-financed Investments in each such Component deemed complete and in-service less book depreciation to date as determined by Lessor, plus capital costs incurred by Lessor to-date on Investments in each such Component under construction.

2. The sum of the Net Book Values of its New Common Facilities Ownership Interest in each Component defined in Section (A)(1) above will be divided by two (2) to determine the total Unit 2 New Common Facilities adjustment amount (the “Unit 2 Adjustment Amount”). This Unit 2 Adjustment Amount will be amortized over the remaining Base Term of the Facility Lease as a reduction through the “AE_c” component in the calculation of the monthly Basic Rent – New Common Facilities Component attributable to the New Common Facilities.

3. The monthly Demolition and Removal cost component of the Basic Rent – New Common Facilities Component formula will be adjusted as appropriate.

B. With respect to a New Common Facilities Adjustment Event pursuant to Section 7.4(ii), Lessor and Lessee will agree, with the PSCW’s approval, to a reasonable adjustment in the Basic Rent – New Common Facilities Component formula or the Renewal Rent – New

Common Facilities Component formula, as applicable, to recognize the portion of Lessor’s New Common Facilities Ownership Interest which is released from the Leased Facility pursuant to Section 7.4(ii) of the Facility Lease and purchased, leased or otherwise used by the Future Unit. Such adjustment may include an adjustment amongst the Owners of the New Common Facilities consistent with this Schedule 7.4.

C. With respect to a New Common Facilities Adjustment Event, pursuant to Section 7.4(iii), occurring after the Lease Effective Date:

1. The aggregate sale or purchase price of the New Common Facilities Ownership Interest in all Components being sold or transferred or purchased by Lessor will be amortized over the remaining Base Term or Renewal Term of the Facility Lease, as applicable, as a reduction or increase, as applicable, through the “AE_c” component in the calculation of the monthly Basic Rent – New Common Facilities Component or the Renewal Rent – New Common Facilities Component, as applicable, attributable to the New Common Facilities.

2. The monthly Demolition and Removal costs component of the Basic Rent – New Common Facilities Component or Renewal Rent – New Common Facilities Component, as applicable, will be increased or decreased, as appropriate.

(g) Taxes resulting from the failure of Lessor to provide, at the request of Lessee, any certification, documentation, or other evidence required as a condition to the allowance of a reduction in such Tax, which, if properly complied with, would have resulted in an exemption from, or a reduced rate of such Tax but only if Lessor was eligible to comply with such requirement and Lessor has determined in good faith that compliance with such requirements would not have a materially adverse effect on Lessor or any of its Affiliates;

(h) Taxes consisting of interest, penalties, or additions to tax imposed on Lessor as a result of a failure of Lessor to file any return, tax report or statement properly or timely unless such failure is caused by Lessee’s failure to fulfill its obligations, if any, to provide such information required under Section 2.3 or Section 2.4;

(i) the failure of Lessor to contest a claim in accordance with the contest provisions herein, to the extent Lessee’s ability to contest a claim is adversely affected in any material respect;

(j) Taxes arising as a result of the failure of Lessor (or transferee thereof) to be a “United States person” (as defined in § 7701(a)(30)) of the Code;

(k) Taxes that result from, or arise out of, or are attributable to the imposition of any Taxes pursuant to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code;

(l) Taxes that are attributable to the situs of organization or incorporation, place of management or control, a place of business, or a permanent establishment of Lessor, in each case, other than as a result of (i) the execution and delivery of the Lease Documents, (ii) the transactions contemplated by the Lease Documents; or (iii) the use, location or operation of the Facility (or any part thereof); or

(m) Taxes to the extent liability for such Tax could have been reduced or provided through “prudent” action, as defined by Wisconsin Public Service Corp. v. Public Serv. Comm., 156 Wis. 2^nd 611 (Ct. App. 1990), and as may be interpreted from time to time.

2.3 Reports and Returns. If any report or return is required to be made with respect to Taxes that are Lessee’s obligations under Section 2.1, Lessee shall, at its sole expense, in a timely and proper fashion, (x) to the extent required or permitted by law, make and file in its own name such return or report (except for any such report or return that any Lessor has notified Lessee that such Lessor intends to file and, in fact, files), and (y) in the case of any such return or report required to be made in the name of any Lessor, inform Lessor of such fact and prepare such return or report for filing by Lessor in a manner reasonably acceptable to Lessor or, where such return or report is required to reflect items in addition to any obligations of Lessee under or arising out of the Taxes described in Section 2.1, provide Lessor with information sufficient to permit such return or report to be properly made with respect to any Taxes that are obligations of Lessee under Section 2.1 no later than thirty (30) days prior to the filing date of such return or report. Lessor shall provide to Lessee such information within Lessor’s possession or control as is reasonably necessary for Lessee to complete and file any such report or return properly, provided that Lessor shall not be required to provide Lessee with copies of its tax returns.

2.4 Receipts and Records. Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to obtain official receipts indicating the payment of all Taxes that are subject to indemnification under Section 2.1 and that are paid by Lessee, and shall promptly on request send to Lessor each such receipt obtained by Lessee or other such evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Lessor and reasonably available to Lessee. Within a reasonable time after Lessee receives from Lessor a written request for specified information or copies of specified records reasonably necessary to enable Lessor or another Unit 1 Owner to fulfill its Tax filing, Tax audit or other Tax obligations or to contest Taxes imposed upon it, Lessee shall provide such information or copies of such

records to the requesting party (if, in the case information or records requested by a Unit 1 Owner, Lessee has such information or records within its possession or control).

3.1 Tax Assumptions. The transactions contemplated by the Lease Documents have been entered into on the basis of the following tax assumptions (the “Tax Assumptions”):

(a) True Lease. For purposes of federal income tax, the Facility Lease will be a “true lease” under which Lessor will be treated as the owner and lessor of the Leased Facility and Lessee will be treated as lessee thereof.

(b) Corporate Status. Lessor is not a separate tax-paying entity for federal income tax purposes. Instead, Lessor is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for federal income tax purposes. As such, all of its income, gain, losses and deductions flow through to its sole corporate member. Therefore, for the purposes of this Article 3, it is assumed that Lessor: (i) is a Subchapter C corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); (ii) is subject to tax at the highest marginal rate applicable to Subchapter C corporations in effect at the time an obligation arises under Section 3.3 or Section 4.1; (iii) recognizes income, gain, credits, losses and deductions at the same time and in the same manner as its sole member; and (iv) is not a member of an affiliated group of corporations filing a consolidated federal or state income tax return. The assumptions in this Section 3.1(b) shall apply for both federal and state income tax purposes.

(c) Method of Accounting. Lessor is a calendar-year taxpayer and will report all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit relating to the transactions effected by the Lease Documents using the accrual method of accounting.

(d) Inclusions in Income. Lessor will not be required to include any amount in gross income for federal income tax purposes in connection with the transactions effected by the Lease Documents other than: (i) Renewal Rent and Basic Rent in the amounts and periods as calculated pursuant to Schedules 14.2 and 7.1, respectively; (ii) income realized upon the transfer of Lessor’s direct or beneficial interest in the Facility Lease or the Unit 1 Facility or any portion thereof, other than a transfer attributable to a Lessee Event of Default; (iii) any other amounts (including Termination Value or amounts measured in respect of such value) payable on an After-Tax Basis; (iv) any warranties, refunds, damages, insurance, requisition, or condemnation proceeds received and retained by Lessor; (v) any amount payable to Lessor and specifically designated as interest or late payment charges on overdue payments; and (vi) any other amounts to the extent offset by a corresponding deduction, (the inclusion in income of any amount other than the amounts described in this Section 3.1(d) being referred to herein as an “Inclusion”).

(e) Tax Reporting Status. Lessor will not be subject to any minimum tax or alternative minimum tax imposed under the Code.

Lessee will have no liability to indemnify Lessor with respect to the Tax Assumptions contained herein.

3.2 Lessee’s Tax Representations and Covenants. For purposes of this Article 3, Lessee hereby represents and covenants:

(a) On the Lease Commencement Date, the Unit 1 Facility will not require any improvements, modifications, or additions in order to be rendered complete for its intended use by Lessee and Lessee has no present intention to make any specific material non-severable improvements.

(b) Any written information provided by Lessee to the appraiser providing the appraisal in Section 4.6 or Article 14 of the Facility Lease was, to the knowledge of Lessee, accurate at the time given.

(c) During the Basic Term, neither Lessee nor any sublessee or user of the Leased Facility (a “Lessee Person”) (other than Lessor or its affiliates other than Lessee) will (i) make any claim (including, without limitation, filing a tax return) predicated on ownership of the Leased Facility, or take any action or position inconsistent with the Tax Assumptions or the status of Lessor as the sole owner of the Leased Facility for federal, state and local income tax purposes, or (ii) claim deductions for Basic Rent for federal, state or local income tax purposes during the Base Term for any period other than the period to which such Basic Rent is allocated pursuant to Section 8.1, unless, in the case of either (i) or (ii), such position is inconsistent with a Final Determination which is binding on Lessor or Lessee.

(d) Purchase Options. As of the Lease Commencement Date, neither Lessee nor any Affiliate thereof has (i) taken any action requiring or authorizing the exercise of any purchase option or renewal option described in Article 14 of the Facility Lease, (ii) made any binding decision to exercise any purchase option or renewal option described in Article 14 of the Facility Lease, or (iii) entered into any agreements with any persons concerning the exercise of any purchase option or renewal option described in Article 14 of the Facility Lease, provided, that the execution, delivery and performance of the Lease Documents in accordance with the terms thereof shall not constitute a breach of the foregoing representation.

(e) Limited Use Property. Neither Lessee, nor any sublessee, assignee, agent or user (other than Lessor) of the Leased Facility will construct or install on the Leased Facility any component, improvement, alteration, or addition if the construction or installation will cause the Leased Facility to constitute limited use property within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 2001-28, 2001-19 I.R.B. 1156.

An indemnity payment hereunder shall be the only remedy for the inaccuracy of any representation or covenant set forth in this Section 3.2. No representation or warranty of Lessee contained in any of the Lease Documents shall be construed as a representation or warranty that the Facility Lease will constitute a “true lease,” that Lessor will be treated as the tax

owner of the Leased Facility, or that the Leased Facility has a specified value or economic useful life.

3.3 Indemnity Obligation for Income Inclusions. If at any time Lessor is required by any Governmental Authority to make an Inclusion in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Lease Documents or Lessor is unable to exclude an Inclusion from its federal, state or local tax return (based upon the receipt by Lessor and Lessee not later than the filing date of the related tax return of Lessor of an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by Lessor and reasonably satisfactory to Lessee to the effect that there is no reasonable basis under the standards set forth in ABA Formal Opinion 85-352 (the “ABA Standards”) (such a basis a “Reasonable Basis”) for excluding such Inclusion (which opinion shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the conclusions set forth therein) or such claim would be inconsistent with a prior Final Determination of a contest and there has been no change in law or interpretation thereof after such Final Determination) as a result of any of the following:

(a) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation of Lessee set forth above in Section 3.2 or any covenant, representation, or warranty in the Lease Documents,

(b) any act or omission of Lessee, other than an act required or expressly permitted by the Lease Documents (other than any improvement, alteration, addition to, replacement, or temporary or permanent removal from service or retirement, modification, or substitution of the Leased Facility or any part thereof by Lessee or any Lessee Person),

(c) any failure by Lessee to take any action expressly required to be taken under the Lease Documents (other than a failure to take action that is requested by Lessor),

(d) a payment of warranties, refunds, insurance proceeds or similar items, or requisition, condemnation, or similar proceeds to the extent not retained by, or applied for the benefit of Lessor,

(e) any destruction, damage, loss, condemnation, non-use or requisition of the Leased Facility or any part thereof, which does not constitute an Event of Loss or an Event of Total Loss, or

(f) an actual payment in an amount greater than due, or prior to the due date, of any amount required to be paid by Lessee under the Lease Documents,

(each such event, a “Lessee Act”), then Lessor shall have suffered an “Inclusion Event” and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as an indemnity a lump-sum amount which, after giving effect to the Gross-Up (as defined in Section 5.2.1(a)), shall be sufficient to give to Lessor the same Return on Capital that it would have had if no such Inclusion Event had occurred. In lieu of the lump-sum payment provided for in the preceding sentence, Lessee may elect to pay the indemnity with respect to such Inclusion Event by reimbursing (on an After-Tax basis) a Lessor for the taxes

(together with any applicable interest, penalties and additions to tax) which such Lessor is required to pay in any calendar year as a result of the Inclusion Event as provided in Section 5.2.

3.4 Excluded Events. Lessee shall not be required to make any payment in respect of an Inclusion Event to the extent such Inclusion Event results from one or more of the following events:

(a) Lessor’s failure to properly exclude income unless Lessor shall have received a written opinion of its independent tax counsel that no Reasonable Basis exists for excluding such income (and for this purpose, such counsel may take into account the failure of Lessee to provide necessary information requested in writing by Lessor to the extent Lessee is required to provide such information);

(b) any event which requires Lessee to pay an amount equal to or in excess of, or determined by reference to Termination Value to the extent such amount is actually paid;

(c) the application of Code § 467 or the Treasury Regulations thereunder, other than as a result of (i) an actual payment in an amount greater than due or prior to the due date, of any amount required to be paid by Lessee under the Lease Documents or (ii) the claiming by Lessee during the Base Term of a deduction for Basic Rent for federal, state or local income tax purposes for any period other than the period to which such Basic Rent is allocated pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Facility Lease;

(e) the breach of any covenant or representation by, or the gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of Lessor;

(f) any amendment or modification to the Lease Documents that is not requested or consented to by Lessee or is not required by the Lease Documents unless, in each case, the amendment or modification is made in connection with a Lease Event of Default;

(g) any change in Lessor’s taxable year or method of accounting or the application of the short taxable year provisions of the Code;

(h) the failure of the Facility Lease to be treated as a “true lease” for federal income tax purposes, other than as a result of a Lessee Act;

(i) the failure of Lessor to contest a claim in accordance with the contest provisions herein to the extent Lessee’s ability to contest a claim is adversely affected in any material respect;

(j) the failure of Lessor to be a “United States person” (as defined in § 7701(a)(30) of the Code);

(k) consisting of interest, penalties, or additions to tax imposed on Lessor as a result of a failure of Lessor to file any return properly or timely, unless such failure is caused by Lessee’s failure to fulfill its obligations, if any, to provide such information required hereto;

(l) the sale of the Leased Facility to Lessee pursuant to an exercise of Lessee’s purchase options under the Facility Lease;

(m) imposed as a result of Lessor’s transfer or other disposition of (i) all or a portion of its interest in the Lease Documents, the Leased Facility or any part thereof, or (ii) any interest in Lessor, other than, in each case, a transfer or disposition pursuant to an exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 17 of the Facility Lease during the continuation of a Lessee Event of Default; and

(n) the application of Code Section 59A, 291, 465, 469, 501, 542, 552, 593, 851, 856, 1272, 1361 or 4975 or the regulations thereunder or the imposition of any Taxes imposed pursuant to ERISA.

4.1 Common Ownership Obligations. Except as provided in Section 4.2, if Lessor is required to indemnify another Unit 1 Owner under the Unit 1 Owner tax indemnity as a result of a Lessee Act, then the Lessor shall have suffered a “Loss” and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor, on an After-Tax Basis, for the amount of such Loss.

4.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 4.1, Lessee shall have no obligation to reimburse Lessor for a Loss to the extent such amounts are attributable to any of the following:

(a) any event described in Section 2.2(a), (b), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), or (m) applied by substituting “Lessor, any other Unit 1 Owner (other than Lessor), or any lessee of any other Unit 1 Owner” for “Lessor” in each place that it appears;

(b) any event described in Section 3.4 (a), (d), (e), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l) or (n) applied by substituting “Lessor, any other Unit 1 Owner (other than Lessor), or any lessee of any other Unit 1 Owner” for “Lessor” in each place that it appears;

(c) the failure of the Lessor to assign its rights under the Unit 1 Owner tax indemnity to Lessee, to the extent Lessee’s ability to contest a claim is adversely affected in any material respect, provided Lessor is required to make an assignment pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof;

(d) Taxes (including any penalties, interests or additions thereto) resulting from the failure of Lessor to timely assert its rights under the Unit 1 Owner tax indemnity to the extent of a resulting increase in Lessee’s indemnity obligation;

(e) Taxes resulting from the inaccuracy or breach by Lessor of any of its covenants, representations or warranties under the Lease Documents or the Unit 1 Owner tax indemnity;

(g) Taxes attributable to any agreements or transactions entered into between Lessor and the other Unit 1 Owners to the extent such agreement or transactions relate to the ownership and operation of the Unit 1 Facility.

(a) General. Payments shall be made in immediately available funds and in United States Dollars at such bank or to such account as specified by the payee in written directives at least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date thereof to the payor, or, if no such direction is given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee and mailed to the payee by certified mail, postage prepaid at its address as set forth in Schedule 22.4 to the Facility Lease.

(b) Time of Payment by Lessee. Any indemnity payment due under this Schedule 19.2 to Lessor shall be paid by Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from Lessor, provided, however, Lessee shall not be required to make such payment earlier than (a) in the case of a Tax that is not being contested pursuant to Article 6 herein, five (5) Business Days prior to the date that (i) Lessor files with the applicable Governmental Authority its income tax return, estimated or final as the case may be, which would first properly reflect the additional income tax that would become due as a result of an Inclusion, (ii) the date that Lessor is obligated to indemnify a Unit 1 Owner under the Unit 1 Owner tax indemnity, or (iii) in the case of a Tax indemnified under Section 2.1, the time such Tax is due, or (b) in the case of an Inclusion, Loss or other Tax that is being contested pursuant to Article 6, thirty (30) days after the date of the Final Determination of such contest.

(c) Time of Payment by Lessor. Any payment due by Lessor to Lessee shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the date on which Lessor files with the applicable Governmental Authority its income tax return, estimated or final as the case may be, on which the credits, deductions, or other tax benefits giving rise to such payment could first properly be reflected, or in the case of a Tax indemnified under Section 2.1 or a refund by a Unit 1 Owner of an amount indemnified under Section 4.1, within thirty (30) days of receipt or accrual of such refund, credit or other tax benefit. Any payment due hereunder from Lessor to Lessee on account of the receipt of any refund of tax shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such refund.

5.2 Calculations of Payments and Gross-Ups. All payments and calculations made under this Section 5.2 shall be made taking into account the assumption in Section 3.1(b)

(regarding the assumption that Lessor is a C corporation for federal and state income tax purposes).

5.2.1 (a) Gross-Up. Each payment and indemnity under Section 2.1, Section 3.3 and Section 4.1 shall be made on an After-Tax Basis. For the purposes of this Section 5.2.1 and the definition of “After-Tax Basis”, “Gross-Up” means the portion of any payment due from Lessee to Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 3.3, and Section 4.1 that is calculated to indemnify Lessor or the portion of any reverse payment from Lessor to Lessee on an After-Tax Basis. As such, the amount payable to Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 3.3, and Section 4.1 shall be an amount determined after (i) giving effect to any interest, penalties, or additions to tax attributable to the Tax, Inclusion Event or Loss (except for any penalties and additions to Tax excluded under Section 2.2(h), Section 3.4(k) or Section 4.2(a) or (b); (ii) deducting all Taxes payable by Lessor in respect of the receipt or accrual of such amount and the amounts specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 5.2.1; and (iii) taking into account any Tax Savings (as defined in Section 5.2.2 below) resulting from such Tax, Inclusion Event or Loss, as applicable, (the net effect of items (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Gross-Up”).

(b) Calculations. The amount of any indemnity payable by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 3.3, and Section 4.1 and any Gross-Up shall be calculated on the basis of the tax detriments and benefits incurred or to be incurred (for the purposes of Section 3.3 and Section 4.1 as a result the same event giving rise to such Inclusion Event or Loss) by Lessor and such amounts shall be computed for Section 2.1, Section 3.3 and Section 4.1 in accordance with the assumptions set forth in Section 3.1(b) hereof and the other Tax Assumptions. Any Tax or Inclusion Event which does not result in an increase in Lessor’s federal, state and local income tax liability (or a decrease in Lessor’s refund of such income taxes) in the year of such Tax or Inclusion Event but which reduces any net operating loss, business credit, foreign tax credit carryover or other tax attribute of Lessor shall be treated as giving rise to an increase in U.S. federal, state or local income tax liability in the year for which such tax attribute if not reduced thereby would have given rise to a reduction in Lessor’s federal, state or local tax liability. Subject to Section 7.2, all calculations with respect to the amount of any indemnity payable hereunder (whether by lump-sum payment or otherwise) shall be made initially by Lessor, and Lessor shall set forth any such amount or adjustment in a statement furnished to Lessee. Such a statement shall accompany any notice furnished to, or demand made upon, Lessee by Lessor pursuant to this Schedule 19.2.

5.2.2 Reverse Indemnity. If, as a result of a Tax indemnified under Section 2.1 herein, an Inclusion Event or a Loss with respect to which an indemnity has been paid hereunder, Lessor for any taxable year realizes any credits, deductions, or other tax benefits (“Tax Savings”) not otherwise taken into account in computing any payment or indemnity by Lessee hereunder (or as a result thereof Lessor shall be entitled to a refund of income tax (or an offset against other tax liability not indemnified hereunder) or interest on such refund (or offset) taking into account the Tax Assumptions in the case of an Inclusion Event or a Loss), then Lessor shall pay to Lessee the amount by which such Tax Savings reduce the federal, state or local taxes of Lessor (and the amount of any such refund, offset, or interest to which Lessor is entitled), plus a “gross-up” for any additional federal, state or local income tax savings Lessor realizes as a result of such

payment (including such “gross-up”). The amount of any Tax Savings with respect to a Tax indemnified under Section 2.1, an Inclusion Event or a Loss shall be computed on the basis of the tax benefits realized by Lessor in accordance with the assumption set forth in Section 3.1(b) and the other Tax Assumptions. Lessor shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Section 5.2.2 while a Lessee Event of Default exists or to the extent that the amount of such payment would exceed (1) the aggregate amount of all prior payments by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 3.3 and Section 4.1 as the case may be, less (2) the aggregate amount of all prior payments by Lessor to Lessee under this Section 5.2.2, but any such excess shall be carried forward and reduce Lessee’s obligations to make subsequent payments to Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 3.3 and Section 4.1. Any subsequent disallowance or loss of all or any portion of a reduction in Lessor’s tax liability which reduction was taken into account under this Section 5.2.2 (as a result of a redetermination of the claim giving rise to such payment by Lessor to Lessee by any taxing authority or as a result of a judicial proceeding with respect to such claim) shall be treated as a loss subject to indemnification under this Agreement without regard to Section 2.2, Section 3.4 or Section 4.2.

5.3 Lessee a Primary Obligor. Lessee’s obligations under the indemnities provided for in this Schedule 19.2 are those of a primary obligor whether or not Lessor is also indemnified against the same matter under any other Lease Document or any other document or instrument, and Lessor seeking indemnification from Lessee may proceed directly against Lessee without first seeking to enforce any other right of indemnification. All indemnities payable by Lessee pursuant to this Schedule 19.2 shall be treated as obligations of Lessee under the Facility Lease and shall constitute Supplemental Rent under the Facility Lease.

6.1 Notice and Assignment of Rights. If Lessor receives a formal written notice of a claim or, if at the conclusion of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority, there is a proposed adjustment in any item of income, deduction or credit of Lessor, or Lessor receives notice from a Unit 1 Owner that it is seeking indemnity under the Unit 1 Owner tax indemnity, in each case, which if agreed to or accepted by Lessor would result in a Tax for which Lessor would seek indemnification from Lessee pursuant to this Schedule 19.2, then Lessor shall, (a) within fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Lessor is required to act or (b) promptly after the conclusion of an audit, notify Lessee thereof in writing (“Adjustment Notice”), provided that the failure to so notify the Lessee or provide such materials to the Lessee shall not relieve the Lessee of its indemnity obligations except to the extent that such failure materially and adversely affects the Lessee’s ability to conduct a contest in any material respect. Lessor agrees that upon receipt of a notice from a Unit 1 Owner that it is seeking an indemnity under the Unit 1 Owner tax indemnity, it will notify such Unit 1 Owner, in writing, that it has assigned all of its rights under the Unit 1 Owner tax indemnity to Lessee with respect to such claim.

6.2 Contest Provisions. If requested by Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Adjustment Notice, Lessor shall in good faith contest, or (if desired by Lessor) permit Lessee to contest the validity, applicability, and amount of any proposed adjustment that would give rise

to a Tax, Inclusion Event or Loss by (a) not making payment thereof for at least thirty (30) days after providing the Adjustment Notice, unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulations, (b) not paying same except under protest, if protest is necessary and proper, or (c) if payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings; provided, that (aa) in the case of an income tax contest, as a condition to the commencement of such contest, Lessor shall have received a written opinion of its independent tax counsel selected by Lessor and reasonably acceptable to Lessee to the effect that there is a Reasonable Basis for contesting such proposed adjustment, (bb) Lessor shall not be required to contest such proposed adjustment if the aggregate amount of the indemnity, on a before-tax basis, together with the amounts payable with respect to any future related claim, would be less than $250,000 in the case of an administrative contest or less than $500,000 in the case of a judicial contest, (cc) Lessee shall have agreed in writing to pay to Lessor, on demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses which Lessor incurs in connection with and reasonably allocable to contesting such adjustment, including all reasonable legal, accountants’, and investigatory fees and disbursements; (dd) a Lessee Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing (provided however, that if a Lessee Event of Default other than as a result of a payment default or bankruptcy shall exist, the foregoing restriction shall not apply if Lessee posts a bond to secure payment of amounts that will fall due in the event of an adverse resolution of the controversy), (ee) Lessor has determined, in good faith, that the contest will not result in a material risk of the loss or forfeiture of the Leased Facility (unless Lessee has provided to Lessor a bond or other sufficient protection against such risk of loss or forfeiture reasonably satisfactory to Lessor) or the imposition of criminal penalties, and (ff) Lessee shall have acknowledged, in writing, that the contest is with respect to a liability that is Lessee’s responsibility under this Schedule 19.2, provided however that such acknowledgement is not required other than to the extent the basis for the IRS’s claim is or becomes reasonably clear.

If requested by Lessee in writing, Lessor will appeal (or, if desired by Lessor, permit Lessee to appeal) any adverse judicial determination, provided that Lessor shall receive an opinion of its independent tax counsel selected by Lessor and reasonably acceptable to Lessee to the effect that there is substantial authority under ABA Standards and within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code for a favorable result as a result of such appeal. Lessor shall not be required to appeal any adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme Court.

6.3 Compromise or Settlement. Lessor shall have the right to settle or compromise a contest or a claim by a Unit 1 Owner if Lessor has provided Lessee with a reasonable opportunity to review a copy of that portion of the settlement or compromise proposal which relates to the claim for which Lessor is seeking indemnification hereunder; provided that if (a) Lessor fails to provide Lessee such a reasonable opportunity to review such portion of such proposal, or (b) after such reasonable opportunity to review such proposal Lessee in writing reasonably withholds its consent to all or part of such settlement or compromise proposal, then Lessee shall not be obligated to indemnify Lessor hereunder to the extent of the amount attributable to the Tax, Inclusion Event, or Loss to which such settlement or compromise relates as to which Lessee has reasonably withheld its consent, or with respect to any other Inclusion Event, Loss or Tax for

which a successful contest is foreclosed because of such settlement or compromise as to which Lessee has reasonably withheld its consent.

Any Dispute between Lessee and Lessor with respect to a payment under Section 4 of this Schedule 19.2 shall be governed by Article 20 of the Facility Lease.

6.4 Refunds. If Lessor receives a repayment or a refund of all or any part of any amount paid with respect to a Tax for which Lessee has indemnified Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 3.3 or Section 4.1 hereof (or if an amount which otherwise would have been a refund was used to offset another liability of Lessor (an “Applied Amount”)), then Lessor shall pay to Lessee an amount equal to the sum of the amount of such repayment or refund (or Amount), plus any interest received on such repayment or refund (or that would have been received if such Applied Amount had been refunded to Lessor) attributable to any taxes paid by Lessee to or for Lessor net of any taxes incurred on such refund or Applied Amount (plus any tax benefit received or that would have been received by a Lessor on account of such payment, as determined under Section 5.2.2). If Lessor receives an award of attorneys’ fees in a contest for which Lessee has paid an allocable portion of the contest expenses, Lessor shall pay to Lessee the same proportion of the amount of such award as the amount of Lessor’s attorneys’ fees paid or reimbursed by Lessee bears to the total amount of attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Lessor in conducting such contest, up to the amount of attorneys’ fees paid or borne by Lessee in connection with such contest. Lessor shall not be obligated to make any payment to Lessee under this Section 6.4 while a Lessee Event of Default exists. Any subsequent disallowance or loss of such refund (as a result of a redetermination of the claim giving rise to such payment by Lessor to Lessee by any taxing authority or as a result of a judicial proceeding with respect to such claim) shall be treated as a loss subject to indemnification under this Agreement without regard to Section 2.2, Section 3.4 or Section 4.2.

6.5 Failure to Contest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 6 and subject to the exclusion contained in Section 2.2(i), Section 3.4(i) and Section 4.2(c), Lessor may at any time decline to take any further action with respect to a proposed adjustment by notifying Lessee in writing that it has waived its right to any indemnity payment that would otherwise be payable by Lessee pursuant to this Schedule 19.2 in respect of such adjustment and with respect to any other amount for which a successful contest is foreclosed because of such failure to contest (if such failure adversely affects a contest in any material respect) or to permit a contest. If Lessor fails to contest or to permit a contest hereunder, Lessor will not be required to pay over to Lessee any amount representing tax benefits which result from an Inclusion or Loss as to which Lessor has been deemed to have waived its right to any indemnity payment hereunder.

7.1 Termination Value Recomputation. If Lessor suffers an Inclusion, Termination Values associated with the Leased Facility or with the portion thereof to which such Inclusion relates shall thereupon, without further act of the parties hereto or to the other Lease Documents,

be adjusted upward or downward, if and to the extent necessary to reflect such Inclusion (such adjustments to be in accordance with the methodology and assumptions (including the tax assumptions set forth in Section 3.1) as were employed in originally calculating Termination Values, varying such assumptions to take into account the circumstances giving rise to such Inclusion (and any previous Inclusion) and any net tax detriments to Lessor arising as a result thereof). If any adjustment to Termination Values is required as a result of an Inclusion that has occurred, Lessor shall provide Lessee a statement setting forth the revised Termination Values as determined by Lessor. Such statement shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for computing such new values. If no adjustment to Termination Values is required as a result of an Inclusion that has occurred, and if requested in writing by Lessee, Lessor shall provide Lessee with a statement that no such adjustment has been made. If requested by Lessee, such statement shall be verified in accordance with the same procedures as are provided in Section 7.2 for the verification of amounts payable pursuant to this Schedule 19.2, and such verification shall bind Lessor and Lessee.

7.2 Verification of Calculations. At Lessee’s request, the accuracy of any calculation of amount(s) payable pursuant to this Schedule 19.2 shall be verified by independent public accountants selected by Lessor and reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, and such verification shall bind Lessor and Lessee. In order, and to the extent necessary, to enable such independent accountants to verify such amounts, Lessor shall provide to such independent accountants (for their confidential use and not to be disclosed to Lessee or any other person) all information reasonably necessary for such verification, including any computer program, related files, or reports used by Lessor in originally calculating Basic Rent, Termination Values or other Taxes. Verification shall be at the expense of Lessee, unless, as the result of such verification, Lessor’s calculation of the applicable amount payable is adjusted by 3% or more (or, in the case of an adjustment of the Basic Rent, the net present value of the Rent as calculated by Lessor is adjusted by more than five basis points) in favor of Lessee, in which case the expense shall be borne by Lessor.

Within ninety (90) days of the consummation of a Transfer under the terms of Section 22.7(c) from the Lessor to an Acceptable Assignee (other than an Affiliate), if Wisconsin Electric Power Company (“WEPCO”) has not subleased all or any portion of the Leased Facility under the terms of Section 22.7(f) and if either of the Rating Agencies downgrade the lowest rated credit rating of WEPCO and expressly state that the reason for the downgrade was the Transfer, then in WEPCO’s next base rate case proceeding the revenue requirement for any short-term or future new issue long-term debt will be assumed, for ratemaking purposes, to have interest rates priced at the rating prior to the downgrade.

If, for any other reason whatsoever, WEPCO’s lowest rated credit rating is subsequently further downgraded by one or both Rating Agencies, then the ratings being assumed for ratemaking purposes for any short-term or future new issue long-term debt will likewise be reduced by the same number of rating gradations.

In the next base rate case proceeding after the earlier of (i) the credit rating being returned to the level it was at prior to the downgrade, or (ii) the termination of the lease, or (iii) a sublease by WEPCO of all or any portion of the Leased Facility under the terms of Section 22.7(f), the interest rates applicable to short-term and future new issue long-term debt will not be subject to any ratings downgrade adjustment. However, any outstanding long-term debt previously deemed to be subject to a ratings downgrade adjustment in a base rate case proceeding will continue to be subject to adjustment in subsequent base rate case proceedings in accordance with this provision.

Suppose WEPCO’s lowest rated credit rating per Moody’s Investor Services is Aa3 and per Standard & Poor’s is A. Lessor has transferred its interests to an Acceptable Assignee that is not an Affiliate. WEPCO has not subleased any portion of the Leased Facility.

Specifically as a result of the transfer, and within 90 days, Moody’s announces a one-notch downgrade from Aa3 to A1 and S&P announces a one-notch downgrade from A to A-. For ratemaking purposes, any short-term or future new issue long-term debt would be assumed to have interest rates commensurate with the prior Aa3 (Moody’s) and A (S&P) ratings. A year after that rate case proceeding, however, both Moody’s and S&P announce four-notch downgrades from A1 to Baa2 (Moody’s) and from A- to BBB- (S&P). Now, for ratemaking purposes, in the subsequent base rate case proceeding the assumed rates based on credit ratings of Aa3 and A would not remain based at Aa3 and A, nor would they be based on the ratings downgraded to Baa2 and BBB-. Instead, the credit ratings used to determine the assumed rates would likewise be reduced four notches from Aa3 to Baa1 (Moody’s) and from A to BBB (S&P).

In some circumstances the Rating Agencies may be willing to disclose, in advance, the potential for WEPCO’s lowest rated credit rating to be downgraded as a direct result of a Transfer. Further, the Rating Agencies may be willing to support retention of the current credit rating based on some pre-determined equity contribution. In the event that, within ninety (90) days of the Transfer, (i) the Rating Agencies will provide written documentation of the circumstances and recommendations including their determination that a specific potential downgrade is the direct result of the Transfer, (ii) WEPCO has an opportunity to prevent a credit rating downgrade with an equity infusion, (iii) WEPCO actually issues equity to prevent the credit rating downgrade, and (iv) neither of the Rating Agencies issues a credit rating downgrade as a result of the equity infusion, then in WEPCO’s next base rate case proceeding an adjustment will be made to the weighted average cost of capital calculation to hold WEPCO’s ratepayers harmless from the effects of the equity contribution. Specifically, the weighted average cost of capital assumed for ratemaking purposes would be calculated as though the credit rating was never changed and the additional equity contribution was never made.

If, for any other reason whatsoever, WEPCO’s lowest rated credit rating is subsequently downgraded by one or both Rating Agencies, then the ratings being assumed for ratemaking purposes for any short-term or future new issue long-term debt will likewise be reduced by the same number of rating gradations.

This provision will end at the next base rate case proceeding after the earlier of (i) the credit rating being increased by either of the Rating Agencies, or (ii) the termination of the lease, or (iii) a sublease by WEPCO of all or any portion of the Leased Facility under the terms of Section 22.7(f).

(F) agreeing to be the subject of an order, judgment or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, approving a petition seeking reorganization of it or appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator of it or of all or a substantial part of its assets, and

such Acceptable Transferee’s constituent documents do not permit the Acceptable Transferee to amend its constituent documents if such amendment could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Right of First Refusal and the other Lease Documents to which it is a party or the validity or enforceability of such Lease Documents.

It shall be a condition precedent to any Transfer pursuant to this Right of First Refusal Agreement that the PSCW determines that the Acceptable Transferee meets the requirements in Section 1.1(a) (i)-(iii).

(b) Applicable to Parent. Except as otherwise permitted in Section 1.5, Parent may not Transfer its Controlling Interest in and to Member to any Person (an “Acceptable Transferee”) until after the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the date of Commercial Operation of Unit 1. The Acceptable Transferee must be a Person (i)(A) whose senior unsecured long-term debt is rated at least the Rating Requirement or (B) whose Parent’s senior unsecured long-term debt is rated at least the Rating Requirement, (ii) who has five (5) years experience in the United States electric generating power industry and (iii) whose constituent documents require the favorable vote of one (1) independent director or independent member, as the case may be, only in respect of taking any of the following voluntary actions in anticipation of insolvency or bankruptcy:

Lessee shall have sixty (60) days from receipt of such notice to notify Member in writing of its election to purchase the Controlling Interest on the same terms and conditions as the proposed Transfer (the “Right of First Refusal”); provided, however, that if Lessee fails to notify Member, with a copy to Lessor, of its election to exercise the Right of First Refusal within such 60-day period, Lessee shall be deemed to have waived the Right of First Refusal with respect to the sale of such Controlling Interest. If Lessee notifies Member of its election to exercise its Right of First Refusal within such 60-day period, then within thirty (30) days of delivery of such notice to Member, the Parties shall meet to negotiate the terms and conditions of the transfer documents by which Member shall transfer the Controlling Interest to Lessee; provided, that the terms and conditions of the transfer documents shall be no less favorable to Member than the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer of the Controlling Interest by Member to the Acceptable Transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon Lessee’s exercise of its Right of First Refusal, Facility Lease I, Facility Lease II and each Lease Document that is in effect shall continue in full force and effect unless agreed otherwise by the Parties.

No less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to a Transfer by Parent of a Controlling Interest to an Acceptable Transferee (other than a Permissible Transferee), Parent shall provide to Lessee, with a copy to Member and Lessor, a written notice of the proposed Transfer, including the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and the name of the Acceptable Transferee. Lessee shall have sixty (60) days from receipt of such notice to notify Parent in writing of its election to purchase the Controlling Interest on the same terms and conditions as the proposed Transfer (the “Right of First Refusal”); provided, however, that if Lessee fails to notify Parent, with a copy to Member and Lessor, of its election to exercise the Right of First Refusal within such 60-day period, Lessee shall be deemed to have waived the Right of First Refusal with respect to the sale of such Controlling Interest. If Lessee notifies Parent of its election to exercise its Right of First Refusal within such 60-day period, then within thirty (30) days of delivery of such notice to Parent, the Parties shall meet to negotiate the terms and conditions of the transfer documents by which Parent shall transfer the Controlling Interest to Lessee; provided, that the terms and conditions of the transfer documents shall be no less favorable to Parent than the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer of the Controlling Interest by Parent to the Acceptable Transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon Lessee’s exercise of its Right of First Refusal, Facility Lease I, Facility Lease II and each Lease Document that is in effect shall continue in full force and effect unless agreed otherwise by the Parties.

1.3 Assumption of Obligations. It shall be a condition precedent to any Transfer by Member or Parent to an Acceptable Transferee or a Permissible Transferee that such Acceptable Transferee or Permissible Transferee enter into an assignment and assumption agreement, in

form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which such Acceptable Transferee or Permissible Transferee shall assume and Member or Parent, as the case may be, shall assign all or a proportionate share, as the case may be, of its rights, obligations, benefits, advantages, titles and interests in this Right of First Refusal Agreement. Upon such Transfer, the Facility Lease I, the Facility Lease II and each Lease Document that is in effect shall continue in full force and effect.

1.4 Adverse Tax Consequences. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, as a result of the existence and/or exercise of the Right of First Refusal, Wisconsin Energy Corporation, or if Member ceases to be an entity disregarded from its owner for federal income tax purposes, Member (each an “Indemnitee”), is not treated as the owner of Unit 1 or Unit 2, as the case may be, for federal income tax purposes, Lessee will indemnify such Indemnitee, on an after-tax basis for any adverse tax consequences resulting therefrom.

(a) By Member. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the Facility Lease I or Facility Lease II, Member may (without the consent of Lessee) Transfer: (i) less than fifty (50%) percent of its interest in Lessor to any Person; (ii) any of its interest in Lessor to an Affiliate of Member; (iii) any of its interest in Lessor in connection with a public offering or sale of any such interest; and (iv) any of its interest in Lessor to an Affiliate of Parent or to the shareholders of Parent or the shareholders of an Affiliate of Parent in connection with a spin-off (each such transferee, a “Permissible Transferee”).

(b) By Parent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the Facility Lease I or Facility Lease II, Parent may (without the consent of Lessee) Transfer: (i) less than (50%) percent of its interest in Member to any Person; (ii) any of its interest in Member to an Affiliate of Parent; (iii) any of its interest in Member in connection with a public offering or sale of any such interest; and (iv) any of its interest in Member to an Affiliate of Parent or to the shareholders of Parent or the shareholders of an Affiliate of Parent in connection with a spin-off (each such transferee, a “Permissible Transferee”).

This Right of Refusal Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the expiration or early termination of both Facility Lease I and Facility Lease II.
