SECTION 2. LOAN

          2.1 Commitment. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions hereof, and upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 hereto, the Lender agrees to make Advances (the “Loans”) to Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period (but not more frequently than once per calendar month) in an aggregate principal amount up to, but not in excess of, Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) (the “Maximum Amount”). The aggregate principal amount of the Advances and the aggregate accrued costs and expenses pursuant to Section 7.2 (the “Lender Expenses”) shall together be deemed the principal of the Loans (the “Principal”), it being understood that Lender’s payment of the Lender Expenses shall be treated as Advances under the Loan but shall not reduce the Maximum Amount.

          2.2 Promissory Note for Loans. The Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by, and shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of, a promissory note executed by Borrower in favor of Lender in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Loans committed to under Section 2.1, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Note”). The Initial Advance shall be evidenced on the Note Schedule delivered on the Effective Date, and all

13

Advances subsequent to the Initial Advance shall be evidenced by notations thereof made on the Note Schedule by the Lender. At the time of each Loan, the Lender is hereby authorized to make a notation on the Note Schedule attached to the Note as to the date and the amount of such Loan. At any time, the Lender is hereby authorized to make a notation on the Note Schedule attached to the Note of any Lender Expenses. The principal amount shown on the Note Schedule shall be prima facie evidence of the outstanding principal amount of each such Advance and the Lender Expenses. Failure to make any such notation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or under the Note.

          2.3 Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of the Loans shall be used by Borrower solely to pay Borrower’s costs and expenses incurred in the development of the Project and in accordance with the Development Loan Budget, and in any case shall be used only for legal and proper purposes which are consistent with all applicable Laws; provided, that such proceeds shall not be used to pay or reimburse any such costs and expenses incurred by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower prior to the Effective Date.

          2.4 Advances.

          Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 hereto, as applicable:

          (a) Lender shall make Advances to Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans, by deposit of such proceeds in the Depositary Account, as follows: (i) the Initial Advance, in accordance with Section 2.4(b), and (ii) the subsequent Advances, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(d).

          (b) The Initial Advance in the aggregate amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) shall be made by the Lender in a series of monthly Advances beginning on the Effective Date. The dates, amounts, and detailed description of Borrower’s use of proceeds of each such monthly Advance shall be set forth on Schedule 2.4(b); provided that Borrower may not use more than Eight Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($825,000) in the aggregate of the Initial Advance to fund internal costs of the Borrower. On the Effective Date and thereafter on the tenth (10^th) Business Day of each month following the month during which the Effective Date occurs until the entire Initial Advance has been advanced by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender with: (i) a draw certificate in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto, setting forth (A) the amount of the Initial Advance requested to be advanced by Lender and used in such month, (B) a detailed description and budget of Borrower’s intended use of such proceeds, all of which shall be in accordance with Schedule 2.4(b) (which description shall be deemed to be a covenant under this Agreement by Borrower to Lender of Borrower’s use of such proceeds), (C) other than in respect of the amount to be advanced on the Effective Date, a description of Borrower’s use of the proceeds for the prior month’s advanced amount (which description shall be deemed to be a representation under this Agreement by Borrower to Lender of Borrower’s use of such proceeds), (D) a list of the Development Milestones achieved as of the date of such draw certificate (which list shall be deemed to be a representation under this Agreement by Borrower to Lender of Borrower’s achieved Development Milestones) and (E) evidence attached to such draw certificate satisfactory to the Lender demonstrating the

14

achievement of any such Development Milestones; (ii) a Status Report; (iii) a reconciliation of the Development Loan Budget and the use of prior amounts advanced and the anticipated uses of the requested draw of the Initial Advance; and (iv) all other information or evidence reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the Initial Advance (which information will be provided promptly upon request, including when requested after delivery by Borrower of any of the materials set forth in this Section 2.4(b)).

          (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Borrower’s intended use of proceeds, or Borrower’s actual use of proceeds, set forth in a draw certificate delivered to Lender does not meet the use of proceeds description set forth in Schedule 2.4(b) for the applicable portion of the Initial Advance or in the event that as of the requested date of the advance of the portion of the Initial Advance or the requested date of an Advance, as applicable, Borrower has not achieved the Development Milestones to be achieved as of such date, Lender shall not be obligated to fund any additional draws from the Initial Advance or any other Advance of the Loans.

          (d) With respect to each Advance of the Loans (other than the Initial Advance) requested in accordance with the Development Loan Budget, Lender shall receive written notice (an “Advance Request”) from Borrower by 10:00 a.m. New York City time at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of such Advance. Each Advance Request shall be for no less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) and Borrower may only make one Advance Request every two calendar months; provided, however, that to the extent Borrower requests Advances on a quarterly basis rather than every two months, Lender may alter the frequency of such Advances in Lender’s sole discretion. In each Advance Request, Borrower shall (i) specify the aggregate amount of the Advances requested from Lender, (ii) include a Status Report, (iii) provide evidence satisfactory to the Lender demonstrating the achievement of any Development Milestones which are required pursuant to Section 3.2 to have been achieved by the relevant Funding Date, (iv) provide a reconciliation of the Development Loan Budget and the use of prior Advances and the anticipated uses of the requested Advance, (v) provide a detailed description and budget of Borrower’s intended use of the proceeds from the requested Advance which shall be subject to the satisfaction of Lender (and which description shall be deemed to be a covenant under this Agreement by Borrower to Lender of Borrower’s use of such proceeds), and (vi) all other information or evidence reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the Advances (which information will be provided promptly upon request, including when requested after issuance of such Advance Request). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) any internal costs of Borrower set forth in Borrower’s intended use of proceeds in any Advance Request shall comply with Schedule 2.4(d) and no portion of an Advance shall be used for any internal costs which deviate therefrom or for any internal or development costs for which Sea Breeze will be seeking reimbursement under Section 2.6(c)(ii) and (y) in no case shall more than Three Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,750,000) in the aggregate of the proceeds of the Loans (including the Initial Advance) be used to fund any internal costs of the Borrower. Each Advance Request shall be accompanied by a Borrower Certificate, dated as of the relevant Funding Date. Provided that Borrower has complied with the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the twentieth (20th) day after the delivery of the Advance Request and Borrower Certificate (the “Funding Date”), the Lender shall disburse the requested Advance in Dollars in immediately available funds into the Depositary Account (such date of disbursement, the “Disbursement Date”).

15

          2.5 Interest.

          (a) From the relevant Funding Dates until paid in full, the outstanding Principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest at a rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum, compounded annually.

          (b) Interest under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed during the period for which interest is calculated. Interest shall be so calculated with respect to each day during such period by multiplying the outstanding Principal balance of the Loans on such day at the close of business on such day by a daily interest factor, which interest factor shall be calculated by dividing the interest rate per annum in effect on such day with respect to such Loans by 365.

          (c) It is the intention of the Parties to conform strictly to applicable usury laws and, anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations shall be subject to the limitation that Borrower shall not be required to pay, and Lender shall not be entitled to charge or receive, any interest to the extent that such interest exceeds the maximum rate of interest which Lender is permitted by applicable Law to contract for, charge or receive and which would not give rise to any claim or defense of usury. If, as a result of any circumstances whatsoever, performance of any provision hereof shall, at the time performance of such provision is due, violate applicable usury law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be performed shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate, and if, from any such circumstance, Lender shall ever receive interest or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable Law which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the amount of such excess interest shall be applied to the reduction of the Principal amount owing on account of the Note or the amounts owing on other Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower.

          2.6 Repayment.

          (a) Borrower shall have no obligation to make any payment of Principal or interest on the Loans, or in respect of any Obligation (other indemnity obligations pursuant to Section 7.12 of this Agreement), prior to the Maturity Date.

          (b) On the Maturity Date, the following Obligations shall become due and payable by Borrower to Lender: (i) outstanding Principal of the Loans, (ii) accrued interest on the Loans, (iii) the Commitment Fee and (iv) any other accrued and unpaid Obligations (other than indemnity obligations pursuant to Section 5.1(c) and Section 7.12 of this Agreement or any other Obligation which has not been finally liquidated in amount, which shall become due and payable as provided in such Sections or otherwise in this Agreement).

          (c) Borrower and Lender agree that on the Financial Closing Date, the Available Financing Proceeds shall be used by Borrower to make the following payments in the following order of priority:

     (i) Lender shall receive full payment of the amounts set forth in Section 2.6(b) and any other accrued and unpaid Obligations;

16

     (ii) Sea Breeze shall receive full reimbursement of its reasonable, documented unreimbursed development expenses in connection with the Project, which expenses (1) are expressly set forth on Schedule 2.6 and (2) are in compliance with Schedule 2.4(d) and Schedule 1.2, which expenses were previously provided to Lender in a monthly report pursuant to Section 5.1(e)(vii) and which are approved by the Lender in its sole discretion.

     (iii) The Overrun Protectors shall receive full reimbursement of the Overrun Amount made by the Overrun Protectors in the proportion made by SBX and BE, respectively; provided, however, that it shall be the responsibility of the Overrun Protectors to provide Borrower with the proportional amount due to each Overrun Protector; provided, further, that in the event that the Overrun Protectors do not provide Borrower with such proportionate amounts prior to the Funding Closing Date, Borrower shall be entitled to pay the entire Overrun Amount due to either Overrun Protector and shall have no further obligation to either Overrun Protector hereunder; and

     (iv) SBX and BE shall receive full payment of their development fee, in the amount of $5,000,000 each.

     (v) To the extent the lenders under the construction financing do not approve any amounts under the preceding Sections 2.6(c)(ii)-(iv) or any fees paid by Borrower to any investment bankers or financial advisors, then any amounts to be received by Sea Breeze, SBX or BE under this Section 2.6(c) shall be reduced dollar for dollar in proportion to such amounts not approved by the lenders under the construction financing.

          (d) All payments made by Borrower shall be made irrespective of, and without any reduction for, any set-offs or counterclaims.

          For purposes of clarity, in no case shall Borrower be reimbursed for any development expenses which do not comply with Section 2.6(c)(ii).

          2.7 Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans made by Lender hereunder, at par and without any premium, penalty or other additional charge, at any time; provided, however, that any refinancing by Borrower required to prepay the Loans shall be in an amount equal to or greater than that necessary to fully pay all amounts due under Section 2.6 and to fully finance the Project, shall be with a party reasonably acceptable to Lender and shall be subject to terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall provide Lender written notice of its intent to exercise its rights under this Section 2.7(a) at least five (5) Business Days prior to taking such action. Any such prepayment shall be for the full amount of the Loans made by Lender, together with all interest, fees, charges and other Obligations owing to Lender. Upon any such prepayment, any remaining commitments of Lender under Section 2.1 shall immediately terminate and Lender shall no longer be a Lender under this Agreement, without any further action of the Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon any such prepayment, the Option and all rights of Lender set forth in Section 3.1(r) and Section 5.3 shall continue in full force and effect until the Option terminates pursuant to its terms.

          7.6 Waivers by Borrower. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives, to the extent permitted by law: (a) presentment, demand, protest and notice of presentment, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations and notice of such acceleration, protest, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard; and (b) the benefit of all stay, extension, marshaling-of-assets or similar laws, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance of the Obligations by Borrower or the enforcement of the Obligations by Lender. Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel with respect to this Agreement and the transactions evidenced by this Agreement.

THE PARTIES HERETO EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

          (c) NEITHER BORROWER, EITHER SUB, EITHER OVERRUN PROTECTOR, EITHER LIMITED PARTNER NOR GENERAL PARTNER SHALL, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, ASSERT ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST LENDER FOR LOSS OF ANTICIPATORY PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES.

          (d) Any legal action or proceeding against any of the Parties with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions in connection with or relating hereto or thereto, may be brought in the courts of the State of New York in the County of New York or of the United States for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property,

46

generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment, after exhaustion of all available appeals, in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties, and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction, by a suit upon such judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment.

          (e) Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers National Corporate Research, Ltd. (the “Process Agent”) with offices on the date hereof at ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on behalf of Borrower, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any such action or proceeding. Borrower further agrees that such service of process may be made on the Process Agent by personal service of a copy of the summons and complaint or other legal process in any such legal suit, action or proceeding on the Process Agent, or by any other method of service provided for under the Laws in effect in the County of New York, State of New York, and the Process Agent hereby is authorized and directed to accept such service for and on behalf of Borrower, and to admit service with respect thereto.

          (f) Upon service of process being made on the Process Agent as provided in Section 7.7(e), a copy of the summons and complaint or other legal process served shall be given by the Process Agent to Borrower in the manner provided in Section 7.8, or to such other address as Borrower may notify the Process Agent in writing. Personal service upon the Process Agent as provided in Section 7.7(e) shall be deemed to be personal service on Borrower and shall be legal and binding upon Borrower for all purposes, notwithstanding any failure of the Process Agent to give copies of such legal process thereto, or any failure on the part of Borrower to receive the same.

          (g) Borrower will at all times continuously maintain an agent to receive service of process in the County of New York, State of New York on its behalf with respect to each Loan Document. In the event that for any reason the Process Agent or any successor thereto shall no longer serve as agent for Borrower to receive service of process in the County of New York on its behalf or shall have changed its address without notification thereof to the Process Agent, Borrower, immediately after having knowledge thereof, will irrevocably designate and appoint a substitute agent in the County of New York, State of New York and advise Lender.

          (h) Nothing contained in this Section 7.7 shall preclude Lender from bringing any legal suit, action or proceeding against any other Party in the courts of any jurisdiction where such other Parties or any of its respective property or assets may be found or located. To the extent permitted by the Laws of any such jurisdiction, such Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court and expressly waives, in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding, the jurisdiction of any court or courts which now or hereafter, by reason of its present or future domiciles, or otherwise, may be available to it.

          (i) Each Party hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with or any Loan Document or the transactions in connection with, or relating hereto or thereto brought in the courts referred to in clause (d) above and hereby further

47

irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

          7.8 Notices. Without modifying any of the provisions of this Agreement concerning the requirements for, or waiver of, any notice, all notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be considered properly given if mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, facsimile, or by delivering same in person to the intended addressee. Notice so mailed shall be effective three (3) days after it is deposited in a receptacle maintained by the United States Postal Office for the acceptance of mail. Notice given in any other manner shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee. For purposes of notice, the addresses of the Parties shall be as set forth on Schedule 7.8 to this Agreement; provided, however, that any Party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by the giving of ten (10) days’ notice to the other Parties in the manner set forth hereinabove.

          7.9 Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required; and it shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signatures of all persons required to bind any party, appear on such counterpart, but it shall be sufficient that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of the persons required to bind any party, appear on one or more of the counterparts. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than a number of counterparts containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, all of the Parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          7.10 Limitation of Liability. None of General Partner, either Limited Partner, any stockholder, officer or director of General Partner or Limited Partner shall be personally liable (whether by operation of law or otherwise) for any payments due hereunder or under any other Loan Document or for the performance of any Obligations, except as expressly provided in any Loan Document to which such Person is a party. The sole recourse of Lender against Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Obligations shall be against the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) and Lender shall not have any claim against any individual who is an officer or director of Borrower or General Partner. Nothing in this Section 7.10 shall limit or otherwise prejudice in any way the right of Lender to proceed against: (a) any Person with respect to such Person’s fraud or misrepresentation; (b) either Overrun Protector with respect to the enforcement of such Overrun Protector’s obligations hereunder or for breach of any representation or warranty by such Overrun Protector; or (c) any Person that is a party to any ▇▇▇▇ of sale or asset assignment agreement relating to the Project Contracts or Project Permits with respect to a breach of any obligation or representation or warranty of such Person thereunder.

          7.11 Confidentiality. Lender agrees to hold any information designated as “confidential” that it receives from Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in confidence in accordance with procedures adopted by Lender in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to it, except for disclosure (a) to Lender’s directors, managers, members, owners, officers, employees, agents, legal counsel, accountants and other professional

48

consultants, provided that such Persons are bound by the provisions of this Section 7.11, have a professional obligation to maintain the confidentiality of confidential information supplied to them or agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof on substantially the same basis as is provided under this Section 7.11, (b) to other professional advisors for Lender (including, without limitation, the Independent Engineer), provided that such other professional advisor agrees to maintain the confidentiality thereof on substantially the same basis as is provided under this Section 7.11, (c) to any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Lender as required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to any applicable Law, (d) as required by applicable Law or legal process or in connection with any legal proceeding to which Lender is a party, (e) to another Person in connection with a participation or assignment or a proposed participation or assignment as contemplated by Section 7.1 (which Person shall be required to sign a confidentiality agreement provided by Lender with respect to such confidential information), (f) to any Affiliate of Lender provided that such Affiliate shall be subject to the same obligations of confidentiality under this Section 7.11 as Lender, (g) to prospective purchasers of any Collateral in connection with any disposition thereof, and (h) to any other Lender. The confidentiality obligations set forth above shall not, however, apply to any information (i) which is not treated by Borrower in a manner designed to maintain the confidentiality thereof, (ii) filed with any Governmental Authority and available to the public, (iii) published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly, Lender, or (iv) disclosed by Borrower to any Person not associated with Borrower without first obtaining a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 7.11. Nothing in this Section 7.11 shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of Lender to Borrower. The obligations of Lender under this Section 7.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year.

          7.12 Indemnity. Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by Law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which are asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Party under this paragraph with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. If any Indemnified Party makes any payment to any other Indemnified Party with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Party receiving such payment, the Indemnified Party making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower with respect thereto. The obligations of Borrower in this Section 7.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Borrower’s other obligations under this Agreement.

Re:      Deposit Account Control Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In connection with financing arrangements between ourselves and United States Power Fund, L.P. (“Lender”) which is joining with us in signing this letter below, we are asking you to enter into this agreement concerning our account no. 446009725 (the “Deposit Account”) with you.

In order to secure our obligations to Lender pursuant to collateral security arrangements between Lender and us, we have assigned to Lender and granted to Lender a security interest in and lien upon the Deposit Account, any cash balances from time to time credited to the Deposit Account, all contract rights, claims and privileges in respect of such Deposit Account, and any and all proceeds (as defined in Section 9–102(a) (64) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code) of the foregoing, whether now or hereafter existing or arising (collectively, the “Deposit Account Collateral”).

     Until you have received instructions from Lender to the contrary, we shall be entitled to present items drawn on and otherwise to withdraw or direct the disposition of funds from the Deposit Account; provided however, that you and we agree with Lender that (a) we may not, and you will not permit us to, without Lender’s prior written consent, (i) withdraw any sums from the Deposit Account if the credit balance of the Deposit Account remaining would be less than $0 or (ii) close the Deposit Account.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing or any separate agreement that we may have with Lender, Lender shall be entitled, for purposes of this agreement, at any time to give you instructions as to the withdrawal or disposition of any funds from time to time credited to the Deposit Account, or to any other matters relating to the Deposit Account, or any of the Deposit Account Collateral, without our further consent. You hereby agree to comply with such instructions without any further consent from us. Such instructions may include the giving of stop payment orders for any items being presented to the Deposit Account for payment, or the transfer of all funds on deposit in the Deposit Account to the account designated by Lender. You shall be fully entitled to rely upon such instructions from Lender even if such instructions are contrary to any instructions or demands that we may give to you. We confirm that you should follow instructions from Lender even if the result of following such instructions from Lender is that you dishonor items presented for payment from the Deposit Account. We further confirm that you shall have no liability to us for wrongful dishonor of such items in following such instructions from Lender. You shall have no duty to inquire or determine whether our obligations to Lender are in default or whether Lender is entitled, under any separate agreement between us and Lender, to give any such instructions. We further agree to be responsible for your customary charges and to indemnify you from and to hold you harmless against any loss, cost or expense that you may sustain or incur in acting upon instructions from Lender which you believe in good faith to be instructions from Lender.

     Unless you have obtained Lender’s prior written consent, you agree not to exercise any right of recoupment or set-off, or to assert any security interest or other lien, that you may at any

time have against or in any of the Deposit Account Collateral on account of any credit or other obligation owed to you by us or any other person. You may, however, from time to time debit the

Deposit Account for any of your customary charges in maintaining the Deposit Account or for reimbursement for the reversal of any provisional credits granted by you to the Deposit Account, to the extent, in each case, that we have not separately paid or reimbursed you therefore.

     You represent and warrant to Lender that the account agreement between you and us relating to the establishment and general operation of the Deposit Account provides, whether specifically or generally, that the laws of the State of New York govern secured transactions relating to the Deposit Account. You covenant with Lender that you will not, without Lender’s prior written consent, amend that account agreement so that secured transactions relating to the Deposit Account are governed by the law of another jurisdiction. In addition, you represent and warrant to Lender that you have not entered, and you covenant with Lender that you will not enter, into any agreement with any other person by which you are obligated to comply with instructions from such other person as to the disposition of funds

2

from the Deposit Account or other dealings with any of the Deposit Account Collateral. You are not aware of any claim to our interest in the Deposit Account other than claims and interests of the Debtor and the Lender. You further represent and warrant to Lender that you maintain no deposit accounts for us other than the Deposit Account, and you covenant with Lender that any items or funds received by you for our account will be credited to the Deposit Account.

     Kindly furnish to Lender, at its address indicated below, copies of all customary deposit account statements and other information relating to the Deposit Account that you send to us.

     This agreement shall control over any conflicting agreement between you and us. This agreement shall be governed by the internal law of the State of New York and shall be construed as a sealed instrument under such law. This agreement may not be rescinded, terminated or amended without the prior written consent of Lender.

     If you agree to and accept the foregoing, please so indicate by executing and returning to us the enclosed duplicate of this letter.

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Sea Breeze Pacific ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Cable, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors, the Lender, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Cable Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Sea Breeze Power Corp., a British Columbia corporation, and Boundless Energy LLC, a Maine limited liability company, have entered into a Development Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated or supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) and the Loan Documents referred to therein (the “Loan Documents”), pursuant to which the Secured Party has committed to provide development loans (the “Loans”) to Borrower; and

     WHEREAS, each of OCGP and the US Sub is, either directly or indirectly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower;

     WHEREAS, SBP-RTS is an affiliate of Borrower;

     WHEREAS, in order to induce the Secured Party to make the Loans, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined herein);

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

     (b) Such Guarantor has all necessary limited corporate, liability company or limited partnership power and authority, as applicable, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Guarantee Agreement; the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guarantee Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company, limited partnership or unlimited liability company action, as applicable; and this Guarantee Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by general equitable principles or by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

     (c) Neither the execution and delivery by such Guarantor of this Guarantee Agreement or the other Loan Documents to which it is party, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof by such Guarantor, will (i) conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent or filing under, the certificate of formation or incorporation, articles of association, operating agreement, bylaws, memorandum of association or other formation, organizing or governing documents of such Guarantor or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority, or any agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, except such consents and filings as have been obtained or made, are in full force and effect and have been disclosed to the Secured Party in writing, (ii) constitute a default under any such agreement, document or instrument, or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the revenues or assets of such Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument (except for the Liens created pursuant to or permitted by the Security Documents).

     (d) There are no legal or arbitral proceedings or any proceedings by or before any Governmental Authority or agency, now pending or, to the knowledge of such Guarantor, threatened against or affecting such Guarantor as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination.

     (e) Such Guarantor has obtained all authorizations, approvals and consents of, and has made all filings and registrations with, any Governmental Authority and any third party necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the execution, delivery or performance by it of any Loan Document to which it is a party, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, except for filing and recording of the Liens created pursuant to, or permitted by, the Security Documents.

     (f) As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guarantee Agreement and the obligations evidenced hereby, (i) each Guarantor is and will be solvent, (ii) the fair saleable

7

value of each Guarantor’s assets exceeds and will continue to exceed its liabilities (both fixed and contingent), (iii) each Guarantor is and will continue to be able to pay its debts as they become due and (iv) each Guarantor has and will continue to have sufficient capital to carry on its business and all businesses in which it is about to engage.

Upon the failure of the Borrower to punctually pay any such amount or perform such Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid or perform the Obligation not so performed at the place and in the manner specified in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be.

     SECTION 4. Guarantee Unconditional. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guarantee is a guaranty of payment or performance and not of collection, and that its obligations under this Guarantee Agreement shall be primary, absolute and unconditional, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

     (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or any obligation of any Guarantor hereunder or under any Security Document, by operation of law or otherwise;

     (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document;

     (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that any Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, the Secured Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

     (f) any invalidity or unenforceability of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or relating to the Borrower for any reason or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower of the principal of or interest on any Loan (except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Agreement) or any other amount payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document;

8

     (g) the taking or accepting by Secured Party of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment or performance, for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

     (h) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any Guarantor, the Secured Party or any other Person, or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

     SECTION 5. Discharge Only Upon Payment and Performance In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. Except as set forth in Section 8(c) below, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the satisfaction of all Guaranteed Obligations, including the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents, and the full performance of all other Guaranteed Obligations thereunder. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that Borrower’s withdrawal from ownership of such Guarantor, or termination of any ownership interest in such Guarantor now or hereafter owned or held by Borrower, shall not alter, affect or in any way limit the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

     SECTION 6. Waiver by Guarantor. Each Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guarantee Agreement, presentment for payment, performance, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of default and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken or any recourse exhausted by any Person against the Borrower, any Guarantor hereunder, or any other Person.

     SECTION 7. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement or the time for performance of any other obligation, covenant or agreement arising out of any Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Loan Agreement nonetheless shall be payable by any Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Secured Party.

SECTION 8. Limitation on Guarantors’ Obligations.

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law.

     (b) In addition, the sole recourse of Secured Party against SBP-RTS for the Guaranteed Obligations shall be against any and all assets relating to the Project that are owned

9

or held by or in the name of SBP-RTS (the “Project Assets”), including without limitation the Project Contracts and the Project Permits; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8(b) shall limit or otherwise prejudice in any way the right of Secured Party to proceed against SBP-RTS (a) for its fraud or misrepresentation (or any fraud or misrepresentation by any officer, director, employee or agent of SBP-RTS when acting on behalf of, or as a representative of, SBP-RTS); or (b) for any breach of its covenants or obligations or representations and warranties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party, including, without limitation, those certain Asset Assignment Agreements and Bills of Sale pursuant to which SBP-RTS is assigning and transferring the Project Assets to Borrower and US Sub (the “Transfer Documents”).

     (c) Upon SBP-RTS’s transfer of all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Project Assets to the US Sub and/or the Borrower, its obligations hereunder shall immediately be discharged in full with no further action by any party; provided, however, that if any such transfer is subsequently held or discovered to have been invalid, SBP-RTS’s obligations hereunder shall be reinstated as though they had never been discharged; provided further that such discharge shall not affect in any way any of SBP-RTS’s obligations, covenants, representations and warranties under the Transfer Documents.

     SECTION 9. Subordination.

     (a) Each Guarantor agrees that the payment by the Borrower of any Permitted Debt in favor of such Guarantor (the “Subordinated Lender”) shall be subordinated and subject to the prior payment or performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Document (“Senior Debt”) in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraphs (b) through (e) of this Section 9.

     (b) Upon any distribution of assets of the Borrower to creditors (other than the Subordinated Lender), upon a liquidation or dissolution of the Borrower or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Borrower or its property, (i) the Secured Party shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all Senior Debt before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of or interest on or any other amounts in respect of Permitted Debt of in favor of the Subordinated Lender (the “Subordinated Debt”); and (ii) until payment in full of the Senior Debt, any distribution of assets of any kind or character to which the Subordinated Lender would otherwise be entitled shall be paid by the Borrower or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution to, or if received by the Borrower or the Subordinated Lender, shall be held for the benefit of and shall be forthwith paid or delivered to, the Secured Party.

     (d) No right of Secured Party to enforce the terms of this Section 9 shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Borrower or either Guarantor. Neither the terms of this Section 9 nor the rights of the Secured Party under this Guarantee Agreement shall be affected by any extension, renewal or modification of the terms of, or the granting of any security in respect of, any Senior Debt or any exercise or nonexercise of any right, power or remedy with respect thereto.

     (e) Until the Senior Debt is paid in full, the Subordinated Lender shall not exercise any right of subrogation that it may have now or hereafter as a result of its performance of this Guarantee Agreement.

All notices and other communications hereunder to any party hereto shall be given or made in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement to such party at its address set forth therein, or to such other address as such party may have provided by notice to the other parties hereto in accordance with the procedure set forth in the Loan Agreement.

     SECTION 11. No Waivers.

     SECTION 12. Successors and Assigns.

     (b) As used herein, the term “proceeds” shall be construed as defined in Section 9-I02(a)(64) of the UCC and shall include whatever is received or receivable when any of the Pledged Collateral, or any proceeds thereof, is sold, collected, exchanged or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and shall include, without limitation, all rights to payment, including interest and premiums, with respect to any of the Partnership Interests or any proceeds thereof and any property into which any of the Pledged Collateral is converted, whether cash or noncash proceeds, and any and all other amounts paid or payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral.

28

     (c) If any Pledgor acquires (by purchase, distribution or otherwise) any additional Partnership Interests at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, such Pledgor shall:

     (i) forthwith pledge such Partnership Interests as security to Secured Party hereunder;

     (ii) promptly notify Secured Party of such acquisition;

     (iii) to the extent such Partnership Interests (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) are certificated, promptly deliver to Secured Party its certificates therefor accompanied by such instruments of transfer as are reasonably acceptable to Secured Party and promptly thereafter deliver to Secured Party a certificate executed by any authorized officer of such Pledgor describing such Partnership Interests and certifying that they have been duly pledged hereunder; and

     (iv) to the extent such Partnership Interests (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) are uncertificated, promptly notify Secured Party thereof and promptly take all actions required to perfect the security interest of Secured Party under applicable Law, including, without limitation, under Section 8-106(c) of the UCC.

     2.2. Delivery of Certificates and Instruments. Each Pledgor shall deliver to Secured Party all certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Partnership Interests to be held by Secured Party pursuant hereto in each case, properly endorsed in blank and in suitable form for transfer by delivery and accompanied by duly executed irrevocable proxy in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and a limited partnership power in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, all in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party. At any time and from time to time, upon a written notice to the applicable Pledgor, Secured Party shall have the right to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing any of the Partnership Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. Secured Party shall have the right, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, in its discretion and upon a written notice to the applicable Pledgor, to transfer to itself, or to register in its name or in the name of any of its nominees, any or all of the Partnership Interests. Each Pledgor shall take such actions as Secured Party reasonably requests to effect the foregoing, to permit Secured Party to exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder, to effect fully the purposes of this Agreement, to create, perfect, maintain and preserve first priority Liens on the Pledged Collateral in favor of Secured Party, and to provide for the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Upon any change in applicable Law or other material change in circumstances affecting the perfection of the security interests granted hereunder, each

29

Pledgor shall provide an opinion of counsel that is satisfactory to Secured Party with respect to any pledge of the Partnership Interests and perfection of the Lien hereunder.

     2.3. Pledgors’ Rights.

     (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all distributions paid in respect of the Partnership Interests (whether in cash or other property) free and clear of the Lien created by this Agreement

30

and in accordance with the Loan Documents and the Partnership Agreement; provided, however, that, if received by any Pledgor, any and all (i) distributions paid or payable in respect of the Partnership Interests in connection with (A) any partial or total liquidation or dissolution of Borrower, (B) any distributions of capital of Borrower (other than distributions made pursuant to the Loan Documents), or (C) any reorganization of Borrower, and (ii) property paid or payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, the property in clause (i) of this Section 2.3(a), shall be included as Pledged Collateral, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Pledgor, and shall forthwith be delivered to Secured Party in the same form as so received (together with any necessary transfer documents or endorsements) to hold as Pledged Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Pledgor’s rights under this Section 2.3 shall cease and all such rights shall become vested in Secured Party, who thereupon shall have the sole right to receive and hold such distributions as Pledged Collateral.

     (b) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all voting, management, consent, ratification, waiver, and other rights with respect to the Partnership Interests for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, that no vote shall be cast, right exercised or action taken that would result in a material violation of the Partnership Agreement, unless so required by applicable Law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon a written notice by Secured Party to Pledgors, each Pledgor’s voting, management, consent, ratification, waiver, and other rights with respect to the Partnership Interests that each Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall cease and such rights shall be vested in Secured Party, who thereupon shall have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such rights.

     (c) All distributions and other funds received by any Pledgor in violation of this Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, shall be segregated from such Pledgor’s other property and funds and shall be paid to Secured Party in the same form as so received (together with any necessary transfer documents and endorsements) as Pledged Collateral.

     2.4. Secured Party Liability.

     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, each Pledgor shall remain liable under the Partnership Agreement for all of the obligations to be performed by it thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed. The exercise by Secured Party or any of its permitted assigns or successors of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Pledgor from any of its duties or obligations under the Partnership Agreement, to the extent that such duties or obligations arose or accrued prior to the sale, assignment or other transfer of the Partnership Interests by Secured Party in exercise of its remedies hereunder. None of Secured Party or any of its directors, officers, employees, affiliates or agents shall have any obligation or liability under the Partnership Agreement or under or with respect to any Pledged Collateral by reason of or arising out of (i) this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 9-207 of the UCC, or (ii) the receipt by Secured Party of any payment relating to any Pledged Collateral, nor shall Secured Party or any of its directors, officers, employees, affiliates or agents be obligated in any manner to (A) perform

31

any of any Pledgor’s obligations under or pursuant to the Partnership Agreement or any other agreement to which any Pledgor is a party, (B) make any payment or inquire as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment or performance with respect to any Pledged Collateral, (C) present or file any claim or collect the payment of any amounts or take any action to enforce any performance under or with respect to the Partnership Agreement or Pledged Collateral or (D) take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Pledged Collateral, in each case, other than as required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     (b) The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder and, except as required by applicable Law, Secured Party shall not have any duty regarding any Pledged Collateral or to take any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral and no such duties shall be implied as arising hereunder.

     2.5. Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby appoints Secured Party, or any officer or agent whom Secured Party may designate, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and proxy, which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the termination of the Loan Documents according to their terms, with full power and authority in such Pledgor’s place and stead, and in such Pledgor’s name or in its own name, at such Pledgor’s reasonable cost and expense, from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default in Secured Party’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to enforce its rights under this Agreement or to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, authority to ask for, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for, endorse and collect all drafts or other instruments, chattel paper and monies due and to become due or made payable to each Pledgor through any distribution, interest payment or other payment in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof to be paid over to Secured Party pursuant to Section 2.3(c) and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Secured Party may deem to be necessary or desirable for the collection thereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies any actions that said attorney shall lawfully take or cause to be taken by virtue hereof, in each case pursuant to the powers granted under this Section 2.5. Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges and agrees that Secured Party shall have no fiduciary duties to any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives any claims or rights of a beneficiary of a fiduciary relationship hereunder.

     2.6. Step-in Rights. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default and upon a written notice to any Pledgor, Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) perform, or cause performance of, any of any Pledgor’s obligations under this Agreement. Secured Party’s expenses, including the fees and expenses of its counsel, incurred in connection with performing any such obligations shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Pledgors.

     2.7. Reasonable Care; Standards for Exercising Remedies; Marshaling Pledged Collateral.

32

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Secured Party shall exercise the same degree of care hereunder as it exercises or would exercise in connection with its own property of the type of which the Pledged Collateral consists. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which Secured Party accords or would accord in similar transactions for its own account; provided, however, it is expressly understood that Secured Party shall have no responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

     (b) In furtherance of the foregoing, to the extent applicable Laws impose on Secured Party an obligation to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent consistent with applicable Law, it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Pledged Collateral for disposition or otherwise to convert raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Pledged Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other applicable Laws, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Pledged Collateral or to remove Liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Pledged Collateral, (iv) to exercise or fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on the Pledged Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise or fail to advertise dispositions of Pledged Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Pledged Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact or fail to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Pledgor, in connection with expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral, (vii) to hire or fail to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Pledged Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose Pledged Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Pledged Collateral or that have reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets (or to fail to do so), (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets (or to fail to do so), (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against the risk of loss, collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral.

     (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise provided by applicable Laws, Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any collateral, including the Pledged Collateral subject to the security interest created hereby, or to resort to any item of Pledged Collateral in any particular order. To the extent that each Pledgor lawfully may, each Pledgor hereby (i) agrees that it will not invoke any applicable Laws relating to the marshalling of collateral that might cause delay in, or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights

33

under, this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured and (ii) irrevocably waives the benefits of all applicable Laws and any and all rights to equity of redemption or other rights of redemption that they may have in equity or at law with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

     (d) Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law (i) all rights of such Pledgor under any applicable Law limiting remedies, including recovery of a deficiency, under an obligation secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on real property if the real property is sold under a power of sale contained in the mortgage, and all defenses based on any loss whether as a result of any such sale or otherwise, to recover any amount from Secured Party, whether by right of subrogation or otherwise; (ii) all rights of such Pledgor under any applicable Law to require the Secured Party to pursue Borrower or any other Person, any security which Borrower may hold, or any other remedy before proceeding against such Pledgor; (iii) all rights of reimbursement or subrogation, all rights to enforce any remedy that Secured Party may have against Borrower, and all rights to participate in any security held by Secured Party until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full; (iv) all rights to require Secured Party to give any notices of any kind, including, without limitation, notices of nonpayment, nonperformance, protest, dishonor, default, delinquency or acceleration, or to make any presentments, demands or protests; (v) all rights to assert the bankruptcy or insolvency of Borrower as a defense hereunder or as the basis for rescission hereof, (vi) all rights under any applicable Law purporting to reduce such Pledgor’s obligations hereunder if the Obligations are reduced; (vii) all defenses based on the disability or lack of authority of Borrower or any Person, the repudiation of the Loan Documents by Borrower or any Person, the failure by Secured Party to enforce any claim against Borrower, or the unenforceability in whole or in part of any Loan Document; (viii) all suretyship and guarantor’s defenses generally; (ix) all rights to insist upon, plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets, redemption or similar law, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by such Pledgor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by Secured Party of, this Agreement; (x) any requirement on the part of Secured Party to mitigate the damages resulting from any default; and (xi) except as otherwise specifically set forth herein all rights of notice and hearing of any kind prior to the exercise of rights by Secured Party upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to repossess with judicial process or to replevy, attach or levy upon the Pledged Collateral. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Pledgor hereby waives the posting of any bond otherwise required of Secured Party in connection with any judicial process or proceeding to obtain possession of, replevy, attach, or levy upon its Pledged Collateral, to enforce any judgment or other security for the Obligations, to enforce any judgment or other court order entered in favor of Secured Party, or to enforce by specific performance, temporary restraining order, or preliminary or permanent injunction, this Agreement or any other agreement or document between such Pledgor and Secured Party. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party may elect to nonjudicially or judicially foreclose against any real or personal property security it holds for the Obligations or any part thereof, or to exercise any other remedy against Borrower, any security or any guarantor, even if the effect of that action is to deprive any Pledgor of the right to collect reimbursement from Borrower for any sums paid by such Pledgor to Secured Party.

34

     2.8. Security Interest Absolute.

     (a) The obligation of each Pledgor under this Agreement is independent of the Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Pledgor to enforce this Agreement. All rights of Secured Party hereunder, the pledge, hypothecation and security interest hereunder, and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of:

          (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

          (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

          (iii) any manner of application of the Pledged Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any other collateral for all or any of the Obligations;

          (iv) any change, restructuring or termination of the structure or existence or identity of Secured Party;

          (v) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; or

          (vi) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor, Borrower or a third party grantor of a security interest, except as otherwise provided herein.

     2.9. Effective as a Financing Statement. This Agreement shall also be effective as a financing statement covering any Pledged Collateral and may be filed in any appropriate filing or recording office. A carbon, photographic, facsimile or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any financing statement relating to this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for any of the purposes referred to in the preceding sentence.

Such Pledgor shall pay, or cause to be paid, all claims for labor, materials or supplies which, if unpaid, would, by applicable Law or otherwise, become a Lien on its Pledged Collateral, unless such claims are subject to a good faith dispute and any such Liens are bonded over within thirty (30) days of the date they are filed.

connection with any such change it shall deliver to Secured Party an opinion of counsel addressed to Secured Party setting forth any actions required to be taken with respect to the filing, recording, refiling and re-recording of this Agreement or financing statements or continuation statements with respect thereto, if any, as are necessary to maintain and preserve the perfection of the security interest of Secured Party in and to the Pledged Collateral granted hereunder and such Pledgor or its counsel shall have taken all such actions specified in such opinion.

ARTICLE V

EXERCISE OF REMEDIES

     5.1. Remedies Generally. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in the Loan Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC in effect from time to time in any relevant jurisdiction (or such other like law in the applicable jurisdiction), and all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, in each case at the Pledgors’ expense and without prior notice to any Pledgor except as required under applicable Law. In addition to any other remedy provided herein, Secured Party may take any or all of the following actions:

     (a) Secured Party may declare, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Pledgor hereby expressly waives, the entire amount of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, whereupon all of such Obligations shall be and become immediately due and payable.

     (b) Secured Party may exercise the powers of attorney set forth in Section 2.5 of this Agreement to manage (or designate another Person to manage) the operations, business and affairs of Borrower.

     (c) Secured Party may exercise any and all rights and remedies of any Pledgor under or in connection with the Partnership Interests or otherwise in respect of the

42

Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, the right to vote with respect to the Partnership Interests and all rights of each Pledgor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount with respect to the Partnership Interests.

     (d) Secured Party may transfer to or register in the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral.

     (e) Secured Party may (A) notify Borrower to make payment and performance due to any Pledgor under the Partnership Agreement or otherwise directly to Secured Party, (B) file any claims, commence, maintain, settle or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by Secured Party in its sole discretion to be necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon the Pledged Collateral, and (C) execute any instrument and do all other things deemed by Secured Party in its sole discretion to be necessary and proper to protect and preserve, and to permit Secured Party to realize upon, the Pledged Collateral and the other rights contemplated thereby.

     5.2. Sale of Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of Section 5.1, Secured Party may, with notice as required by applicable Law, take any or all of the following actions:

     (a) Secured Party may sell, license or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in a commercially reasonable manner, which may include in one or more parcels at public or private sale or at any of Secured Party’s corporate offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Pledged Collateral at any such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Secured Party shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public or private sale. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received that Secured Party deems to be commercially reasonable under the circumstances and does not offer the Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.

     (b) Secured Party may, in accordance with applicable Laws, accept the Pledged Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations.

43

     (c) All payments made under or in connection with the Partnership Interests or otherwise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, and received by Secured Party as Pledged Collateral in accordance with the provisions hereof, may, in the discretion of Secured Party, be held by Secured Party as Pledged Collateral for, and then or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable applied in whole or in part by Secured Party against all or any part of, the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Any surplus of such payments held by Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to the Pledgors or to whomsoever else may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

     (d) Each Pledgor understands that, if Secured Party were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, compliance with the Securities Act may strictly limit the course of conduct of Secured Party and may also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting Secured Party’s ability to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable “Blue Sky” or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Pledgor recognizes that, in light of such restrictions and limitations, Secured Party may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, to the extent commercially reasonable, limit the purchasers to those who agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations, Secured Party may, in a commercially reasonable manner, (a) sell the Pledged Collateral whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering the Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Securities Act and (b) approach and negotiate with any one or more possible purchasers to effect such sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, Secured Party shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that Secured Party deems reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale had been deferred until after registration under applicable securities laws or if more purchasers had been approached. The provisions of this paragraph will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may substantially exceed the price at which Secured Party sells the Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor agrees that any sales made in accordance with this paragraph will be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

     (e) If for any reason Secured Party desires to sell any of the Pledged Collateral at a public sale, Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, take or cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to take such action and prepare, distribute or file such documents as are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for Secured Party to permit the public sale of such Pledged Collateral.

     (f) If Secured Party determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral, upon written request, each Pledgor shall, and shall cause Borrower, as applicable, to furnish to Secured Party all such information Secured Party may reasonably request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Pledged Collateral which

44

may be sold by Secured Party as exempt transactions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

     5.3. Purchase of Pledged Collateral. Secured Party may be a purchaser of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or any right or interest therein at any sale thereof, whether at a public disposition, or a private disposition, whether pursuant to foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise hereunder and Secured Party may apply the purchase price to the payment of the Obligations. Any purchaser of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the Pledged Collateral so purchased, free of the security interests created by this Agreement.

     5.4. Burden of Proof. To the full extent permitted by applicable Law, each Pledgor shall have the burden of proving that any such disposition of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Article 5 was conducted in a commercially unreasonable manner. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Pledgor hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any applicable Law now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Pledgor authorizes Secured Party, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with a disposition of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

     5.5. Application of Proceeds; Deficiency. The proceeds of any Pledged Collateral sold pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied first, to the payment of any expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the custody, preservation or sale of, collection from or other realization from, any of the Pledged Collateral, the exercise or enforcement of any of its rights hereunder or the failure of the Borrower or any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incur^red by Secured Party, and then, to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. Any surplus remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to the Pledgors or to whomever may be entitled to receive such surplus.

     5.6. Cumulative Rights. Each right, power and remedy of Secured Party provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Secured Party of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Secured Party of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of Secured Party to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof.

ARTICLE VI

MISCELLANEOUS

     6.1. Expenses.

45

     (a) The Pledgors shall, jointly and severally, pay or reimburse or cause to be paid or reimbursed to Secured Party for, any and all fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts, special consultants or local counsel who might be retained by Secured Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) incurred in connection with (i) the creation, preservation or protection of the Liens on, and security interest in, its Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, and all other fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Pledged Collateral, the Secured Party’s interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Pledged Collateral, (ii) the sale of, collection from, custody or preservation of or other realization upon, any of its Pledged Collateral pursuant to the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder or (iii) the failure by such Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. Any amounts payable by any Pledgor pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be payable on demand.

     (b) If and to the extent that any obligations of any Pledgor under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, such Pledgor shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations that is permissible under applicable Law.

     6.2. Indemnity. Each Pledgor agrees to indemnify Secured Party and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against them or any one or more of them by any Person in any way relating to or arising out of (a) the Lien on the Pledged Collateral in favor of Secured Party created hereunder, (b) this Agreement or any default hereunder or breach hereof by any Pledgor, (c) any action taken or omitted by any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement or any exercise or enforcement of rights or remedies hereunder, or (d) any sale or other disposition of or any realization on the Pledged Collateral, but no Pledgor shall be liable to any Person for any portion of such claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that result from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Payment by an Indemnified Party will not be a condition precedent to the obligations of any Pledgor under this indemnity. Except as otherwise expressly provided in writing, this Section will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the satisfaction of the Obligations and any transfer or assignment of the Note.

     Notices. Without modifying any of the provisions of this Agreement concerning the requirements for, or waiver of, any notice, all notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be considered properly given if mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, facsimile, or by delivering same in person to the intended addressee. Notice so mailed shall be effective (a) upon personal delivery thereof, including, without limitation, by overnight mail or courier service, (b) in the case of notice by United States mail, two (2) days after such notice was deposited in a receptacle maintained by the United States Post Office for the acceptance of mail, or (c) in the case of notice by such a

46

telecommunications device, upon transmission thereof; provided such transmission is promptly confirmed by any method set forth in clause (a) or (b) above. Notice given in any other manner shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee. For purposes of notice, the addresses of the Parties shall be as set forth below; provided, however, that any Party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by the giving of ten (10) days’ notice to the other Party in the manner set forth hereinabove.

47

     6.3. Continuing Assignment; Pledge and Security Interest; Release.

     (a) This Agreement shall create a continuing assignment, conveyance, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, transfer and grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and the expiration or termination of the Loan Agreement, (ii) be binding upon each Pledgor, their successors and assigns, provided, that no Pledgor may transfer or assign any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Secured Party, and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights in the Obligations and in the Pledged Collateral to the extent and in the manner provided in the Loan Documents, and such assignee shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Secured Party herein or otherwise.

     (b) At such time as this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 6.4, ceases to be of full force and effect, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and, except as otherwise provided herein, all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgors. Upon any such termination, Secured Party shall, at any Pledgor’s expense and written request, execute and deliver to such Pledgor such documents and instruments (including UCC termination statements) and take such further actions as such Pledgor reasonably requests to evidence such termination and reversion.

     6.4. Election of Remedies. Each Pledgor understands that the exercise by Secured Party of the rights and remedies contained in the Loan Documents may affect or eliminate such Pledgor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower and that such Pledgor may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder. It is the intent and purpose of each Pledgor that its obligations under this Agreement will be absolute, independent, and unconditional under all circumstances. Accordingly, each Pledgor (a) expressly authorizes Secured Party to pursue its rights and remedies with respect to the Obligations in any order or fashion it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, and (b) waives any defense arising out of the absence, impatient, or loss of any or all rights of recourse, reimbursement, contribution, or subrogation or any other rights or remedies of such Pledgor against Borrower, any other Person, or any security, whether resulting from an election by Secured Party to foreclose on any real property security by trustee’s sale rather than judicial foreclosure, or from any other election of rights or remedies by Secured Party, or otherwise.

48

     6.5. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by Secured Party in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or upon the appointment of any intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar official for, Borrower or any substantial part of its assets, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

     6.6. Consents Under the Partnership Agreement.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, each Pledgor consents to:

     (a) the transfer of the Partnership Interests at any time to Secured Party or to any of its nominees or permitted successors or assigns following the occurrence of an Event of Default, in each case subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

     (b) the admission of Secured Party or any of its nominees or permitted successors or assigns as a limited or general partner of Borrower, as applicable, at any time during which any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

     6.7. GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; LIMITATION OF REMEDIES.

     (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED, AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS, EXCEPT SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

     (b) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY DEALINGS AMONG THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION AND THE SECURED PARTY/PLEDGOR RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE PARTIES HERETO ALSO WAIVE ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND THAT MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF ANY PARTY HERETO. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY

49

WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

     (c) NONE OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, ASSERT ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST ANOTHER PARTY HERETO FOR LOSS OF ANTICIPATORY PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES.

     (d) Any legal action or proceeding against any of the Parties with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions in connection with or relating hereto or thereto, may be brought in the courts of the State of New York in the County of New York or the United States for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment, after exhaustion of all available appeals, in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties, and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction, by a suit upon such judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment.

     (e) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers National Corporate Research, Ltd. (the “Process Agent”) with offices on the date hereof at ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on behalf of such Pledgor, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any such action or proceeding. Each Pledgor further agrees that such service of process may be made on the Process Agent by personal service of a copy of the summons and complaint or other legal process in any such legal suit, action or proceeding on the Process Agent, or by any other method of service provided for under the Laws in effect in the County of New York, State of New York, and the Process Agent hereby is authorized and directed to accept such service for and on behalf of such Pledgor, and to admit service with respect thereto.

     (f) Upon service of process being made on the Process Agent as provided in Section 6.8(e), Process Agent shall give a copy of the summons and complaint or other legal process served to such Pledgor in the manner provided in Section 6.3, or to such other address as such Pledgor may notify the Process Agent in writing. Personal service upon the Process Agent as provided in Section 6.8(e) shall be deemed to be personal service on the applicable Pledgor and shall be legal and binding upon such Pledgor for all purposes, notwithstanding any failure of the Process Agent to give copies of such legal process to such Pledgor, or any failure on the part of such Pledgor to receive the same.

50

     (g) Each Pledgor will at all times continuously maintain an agent to receive service of process in the County of New York, State of New York on its behalf with respect to each Loan Document. In the event that for any reason the Process Agent or any successor thereto shall no longer serve as agent for any Pledgor to receive service of process in the County of New York on its behalf or shall have changed its address without notification thereof to the Process Agent, such Pledgor, immediately after having knowledge thereof, will irrevocably designate and appoint a substitute agent in the County of New York, State of New York and advise Secured Party.

     (h) Nothing contained in this Section 6.8 shall preclude Secured Party from bringing any legal suit, action or proceeding against any Pledgor in the courts of any jurisdiction where any Pledgor or any of its property or assets may be found or located. To the extent permitted by the Laws of any such jurisdiction, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court and expressly waives, in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding, the jurisdiction of any court or courts which now or hereafter, by reason of its present or future domiciles, or otherwise, may be available to it. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SB LP hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction within the United States and will comply with all requirements necessary to give such court jurisdiction.

     (i) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby, or relating hereto or thereto, brought in any of the courts referred to in clause (d) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SB LP hereby waives any and all jurisdictional defenses to any United States forum selected by any other party hereto on grounds including, but not limited to, forum non-conveniens. In addition, in the event that Secured Party chooses to bring an action or proceeding in a court of any state within the United States, SB LP hereby waives any right of removal to federal court.

     6.8. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Parties hereby irrevocably: (i) consent to non-exclusive personal jurisdiction in any Federal court sitting in the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or any of the other agreements or transactions referred to herein or therein or contemplated hereby or thereby, which is brought by or against either of the Parties, (ii) waive any objection with respect thereto, and (iii) agree that all claims in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court, and that such court shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement and all transactions related thereto.

     6.9. Termination; Release. Upon the termination of the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents in accordance with their terms, this Agreement shall terminate and Secured Party, at any Pledgor’s request and expense, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Pledgor the proper instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements on form UCC-3) acknowledging the termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty of any kind) such of

51

the Pledged Collateral as may be in the possession of Secured Party and has not theretofore been disposed of or otherwise applied or released.

          (j) Location of Collateral. The Collateral, to the extent not delivered to or under the control of the Secured Party in accordance with the terms of this Security Agreement, will be kept at the Project, the Borrower’s chief executive office or, if applicable, the location where such Collateral has been produced or is under construction, installment or assembly and neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor will

     (a) Declare, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (except as specifically required by any Loan Document), all of which each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, the entire amount of Obligations to be immediately due and payable, whereupon all of such Obligations declared due and payable shall be and become immediately due and payable; provided, however, if, with respect to the Borrower or any Guarantor, an Event of Default occurs pursuant to Sections 6.1(g) or 6.1(j) of the Loan Agreement, the acceleration provided for in this Section 7(a) shall be deemed to have been made upon the occurrence of such Event of Default without declaration or any other action by the Secured Party;

     (b) In addition and without limitation to any rights arising out of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, take the following enforcement action with respect to the Deposit Account and any securities account or deposit account constituting part of the Collateral, without being required to give any notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor, the Depositary Bank or any securities intermediary or other bank (except as may be required by applicable Law): (i) direct the

12

Depositary Bank and any securities intermediary or bank, or the Borrower or any Guarantor (as applicable) to deliver the same to the Secured Party at any place or places designated by the Secured Party, it being understood that such obligations are of the essence under this Security Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Secured Party shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the Depositary Bank, any other bank or securities intermediary, or the Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, of such obligations; (ii) withdraw any and all cash and liquidate any financial assets and other property not constituting cash in the Deposit Account or any securities account or deposit account constituting part of the Collateral, and apply such cash and the liquidation proceeds of financial assets or other property, if any, then held in the Deposit Account or any other securities account or deposit account constituting part of the Collateral, to the benefit of the Secured Party in satisfaction of all or any part of the Obligations then due and payable in the manner specified in Section 8 hereof; and (iii) sell, assign, or otherwise liquidate the Deposit Account or any securities account or deposit account constituting part of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at a public or private disposition, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such prices as the Secured Party may deem satisfactory, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Secured Party is entitled to apply amounts standing to the credit of the Deposit Account, or any other securities account or deposit account constituting part of the Collateral as contemplated in this Section 7(b);

     (c) Make such payments and do such acts as the Secured Party may deem necessary to protect, perfect or continue the perfection of the Security Interest in the Collateral, including (i) paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any Lien which is, or purports to be, prior to or superior to the Security Interest granted hereunder, (ii) filing a copy of this Security Agreement and other documents in the office in which a record of the Lien on any mortgaged property created by any Mortgage is recorded, (iii) filing any transfer statement necessary to entitle the transferee to the transfer of record all rights of the Borrower and any Guarantor in the Collateral referenced in such transfer statement, and (iv) commencing, appearing or otherwise participating in or controlling any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Security Interest in or ownership of the Collateral;

     (d) Foreclose on the Collateral as herein provided or in any manner permitted by applicable Laws and exercise any and all of the rights and remedies conferred upon the Secured Party by the Assigned Agreements either concurrently or in such order as the Secured Party may determine without affecting the rights or remedies to which the Secured Party may be entitled under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, notice and judicial hearing in connection with the Secured Party’s taking possession or commencing any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, repossession, retention, set-off, sale, leasing, licensing, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of or realization upon any or all of the Collateral, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which the Borrower or such Guarantor would otherwise have under the

13

constitution or any statute or other law of the United States of America or of any state;

     (e) Require the Borrower and each Guarantor to, and each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall, at its expense and upon request of the Secured Party, forthwith assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Secured Party and make it available to the Secured Party at the location designated by the Secured Party;

     (f) Without notice or demand or legal process (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws), enter upon any premises of the Borrower or any Guarantor and take possession of the Collateral, whereupon the Secured Party may use or operate the Collateral (i) for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or (ii) as permitted by an order of a court having competent jurisdiction;

     (g) Without notice, except as specified below, sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in its then present condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing. Any such disposition of the Collateral may be made by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at public or private disposition at the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, at such time or times, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms that the Secured Party reasonably believes are commercially reasonable. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that, to the extent notice of any such disposition shall be required by applicable Law, at least 10 days’ notice to the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, of the time and the place of any public disposition or the time after which any private disposition is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party may purchase Collateral at a public disposition, or at a private disposition only if the Collateral is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice of disposition having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private disposition from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such disposition may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Secured Party shall incur no liability as a result of the manner of disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private disposition conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral, or any part thereof, may have been disposed of at a private disposition was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public disposition or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received which the Secured Party deems to be commercially reasonable under the circumstances and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree. To the full extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower and the applicable Guarantor, as applicable, shall have the burden of proving that any such disposition of the Collateral was conducted in a commercially unreasonable manner. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor authorizes the Secured Party, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with a disposition of the Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Security Agreement, any

14

endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral;

     (h) In accordance with applicable Law, accept the Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations; and

     (i) Exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party after default under the Code and any relevant Law in any jurisdiction.

          8. Application of Proceeds. The net proceeds of any enforcement, foreclosure, collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, or realization on or any sale, lease, license or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied, first, to the payment of any expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connection with the administration of this Security Agreement, the custody, preservation or sale of, collection from or other realization from, any of the Collateral, the exercise or enforcement of any of its rights hereunder or the failure by the Borrower or any Guarantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the Secured Party, and then, to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. Any surplus remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations shall be promptly paid over to the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor or to whomever may be entitled to receive such surplus.

          9. Assignment of Project Permits. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default at the request of the Secured Party, contemporaneously with and at any other time following any foreclosure by the Secured Party on any part of any mortgaged property covered by any Mortgage, assign, transfer or otherwise furnish to the Secured Party or to any transferee of the interest of the Secured Party (to the extent so assignable or transferable), all of the its rights and interest in, to and under all Project Permits, including all offsets, allowances and similar rights issued under or in connection with all Laws, which are required to permit the Project to be operated in accordance with all Laws. Upon the request of the Secured Party upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default following collection, enforcement, foreclosure, sale, lease, license or other disposition by the Secured Party on or with respect to the Project, each of the Borrower and each Guarantor agrees to use its best efforts to assist the Secured Party in renewing or extending in the name of the Secured Party (or any other Person operating the Project) or otherwise obtaining the benefits of all of the Project Permits and other rights referred to in the immediately preceding sentence to the extent that such Project Permits and other rights shall not be assignable or transferable.

          10. Security Interest Absolute. All the rights of the Secured Party hereunder and the Security Interest and all obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

     (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Project Contracts or any of the Collateral or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

15

     (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Project Contract or any of the Collateral or any other agreement or instrument related thereto, except for any change, amendment, waiver, consent or departure effected in accordance with the applicable Loan Documents;

     (c) any exchange or release of any Collateral or any other collateral, or the non-perfection of any of the Security Interests, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations, except for any exchange, release, amendment, waiver, consent or departure effected in accordance with the applicable Loan Documents; or

     (d) to the full extent permitted by applicable Law, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any third party pledgor other than payment in full of the Obligations.

          11. The Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (which appointment as attorney-in-fact shall be coupled with an interest), with full authority in the place and stead of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable (or any nominee or agent designated by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable) and in the name of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable (or any nominee or agent designated by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable), or otherwise, from time to time from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in the Secured Party’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement in a commercially reasonable manner to the extent required by the Code, without notice to or assent by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, including:

     (a) to receive, endorse and collect all instruments, chattel paper or letter-of-credit-rights made payable to the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, or investment property in which Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, has an interest, in each case representing any dividends, interest payments or other distributions constituting Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Secured Party for the purpose of collecting any and all of such dividends, payments or other distributions;

     (b) to enforce the rights of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, under any provision of any Assigned Agreement to the extent permitted thereunder and under the terms of this Security Agreement and the applicable Consent;

     (e) (i) to execute, in connection with any sale, lease, license or other disposition permitted to be made by the Secured Party hereunder, any endorsements, assignments, transfer statements, or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral, and to file or register the same if required by applicable Laws, (ii) communicate in its own name with any party to any agreement or instrument included in the Collateral, at any reasonable time, with regard to any matter relating to such agreement or instrument, (iii) to the full extent permitted by applicable Laws, file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, provided that the Secured Party shall give notice to the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, promptly after taking any action described in this Section 11(e) (but failure to give such notice shall not subject the Secured Party to liability); and

     (f) from time to time from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in the Secured Party’s discretion to take any action which the Secured Party may, in its discretion and at the Borrower’s expense, deem necessary or appropriate (i) to perfect, maintain and enforce any Security Interest created in favor of the Secured Party, (ii) to create, perfect, maintain and enforce any Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby, or (iii) to otherwise accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement.

          12. The Secured Party May Perform. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with prior notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor, as applicable, the Secured Party without releasing the Borrower or any Guarantor, as applicable, from any obligation, covenant or condition hereof, itself may make any payment or perform, or cause the performance of, any such obligation, covenant, condition or agreement or any other action in such manner and to such extent as the Secured Party may deem necessary to protect, perfect or continue the perfection of the Security Interest. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connection with the foregoing shall be governed by the Loan Documents, constitute a part of the Obligations secured by the Security Documents, shall bear interest at the Interest Rate and be payable by the Borrower upon demand by the Secured Party.

17

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby:

          (i) agrees that the Secured Party, without releasing the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, from any obligation, covenant or condition hereof, itself may take any action and execute any document, including making any payment or performing, or cause the performance of, any obligation, covenant, condition or agreement or any other action under or in respect of

18

any Assigned Agreement that the Secured Party deems necessary or advisable or which may otherwise be required to cure any default under any Assigned Agreement at any time and from time to time (including at any time prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default) upon receipt by the Secured Party of a notice of any such default by any third party to a Project Contract or otherwise at any time that the Secured Party otherwise has knowledge of such default; and

          (ii) irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (which appointment as attorney-in-fact shall be coupled with an interest), with full authority in the place and stead of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable (or any nominee or agent designated by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable), and in the name of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable (or any nominee or agent designated by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable), or otherwise, at any time and from time to time to take any action contemplated in clause (i) above (including at any time prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default) upon receipt by the Secured Party of a notice of any such default by any third party to a Project Contract or otherwise at any time that the Secured Party otherwise has knowledge of such default.

          The Secured Party may take such actions under either clause (i) or (ii) above as the Secured Party may deem appropriate.

          13. No Duty on the Secured Party’s Part; Limitation on the Secured Party’s Obligations.

          (a) No Duty on the Secured Party’s Part. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers.

          (b) Limitations on Obligations. Except as provided in the next sentence, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower and each Guarantor shall remain liable under the Assigned Agreements and any other agreements to which it is a party included in the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Security Agreement had not been executed. The exercise by the Secured Party of any of the rights or remedies hereunder shall not release the Borrower or any Guarantor from any of its duties or obligations under the Assigned Agreements or any other agreements included in the Collateral unless expressly assumed by the Secured Party in writing. All of the Collateral is hereby assigned to the Secured Party solely as security, and the Secured

19

Party shall have no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever with respect to any of the Collateral, unless the Secured Party so elects in writing consistent with its rights under this Security Agreement or fails to act in a commercially reasonable manner to the extent required by the Code.

          (c) Delegation of Duty. The Secured Party may execute any of its duties under this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties so long as such counsel was selected with reasonable due care. The Secured Party shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

          (d) Limitations on Liability. The Secured Party shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Security Agreement.

          14. Reasonable Care; Standards for Exercising Remedies; Marshaling Collateral.

          (a) The Secured Party shall exercise the same degree of care hereunder as it exercises or would exercise in connection with similar transactions for its own account. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords or would accord collateral held by the Secured Party in similar transactions for its own account; provided, however, it is expressly understood that the Secured Party shall not have responsibility for taking any steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to the Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, to the extent applicable Laws impose on the Secured Party an obligation to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each of the Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other Laws, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against the risk of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xi) to the extent

20

deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.

          (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise provided by applicable Laws, the Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any collateral, including, the Collateral subject to the Security Interest created hereby and any guarantees of the Obligations, or to resort to any item of Collateral or guarantees in any particular order; and all of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder and in respect of such Collateral and guarantees shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that the Borrower and any Guarantor lawfully may, each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby (i) agrees that it will not invoke any Laws relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or guaranteed and (ii) irrevocably waives the benefits of all laws and any and all rights to equity of redemption or other rights of redemption that it may have in equity or at law with respect to the Collateral.

          15. Absence of Fiduciary Relation. The Secured Party undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its agreements and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no implied agreements, covenants or obligations with respect to the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Affiliate of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to any of the Assigned Agreements shall be read into this Security Agreement against the Secured Party. The Secured Party in its capacity as such is not a fiduciary of and shall not owe or be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Affiliate of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to any of the Assigned Agreements, except as otherwise specifically required by applicable Laws.

          16. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein or incorporated by reference herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall terminate only upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and expiration of the commitments under the Loan Agreement, and shall be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by the Secured Party, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Secured Party.

          17. Notices. All notices, demands, requests and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given in accordance with Section 26 of this Security Agreement.

          18. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. By exercising or failing to exercise any of its rights, options or elections hereunder (without also expressly waiving the same in writing), the Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any breach or default on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor or to have released the Borrower or any Guarantor from any of its obligations secured hereby. No failure on the part of the Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising (without also expressly waiving the same in writing) any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other

21

right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. The Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies granted under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, and available at law or in equity, and these same rights and remedies may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against the Borrower or any Guarantor or any Collateral, at the discretion of the Secured Party. The application of the Collateral to satisfy the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof shall not operate to release the Borrower or any Guarantor from their Obligations until payment in full of any deficiency has been made in cash.

          19. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Where provisions of any law or regulation resulting in such prohibition or unenforceability may be waived, they are hereby waived by the Borrower, each Guarantor and the Secured Party to the full extent permitted by law so that this Security Agreement shall be deemed a valid, legal and binding agreement, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the Security Interest created hereby shall constitute a continuing first lien on and first perfected security interest in the Collateral, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

          20. Exculpatory Provisions; Reliance By Secured Party.

          (a) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Secured Party, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, shall be liable to the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Security Agreement or any other Project Contract (except as otherwise provided herein or therein), or responsible in any manner to any Person for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any Guarantor or any officer thereof contained in this Security Agreement or any other Project Contract or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Secured Party under or in connection with, this Security Agreement or any other Project Contract or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Security Agreement or any other Project Contract or for any failure of the Borrower or any Guarantor to perform any of the Obligations. The Secured Party shall not be under any obligation to any Person to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Security Agreement or any other Project Contract, or to inspect the properties or records of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Secured Party, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be exonerated from its gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

          (b) Reliance by the Secured Party. The Secured Party shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, electronic mail, telegram, telecopy, telex, teletype or facsimile message, statement,

22

order, instrument, opinion, report, request, direction, bond, debenture or other document or conversation believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of independent accountants and other experts selected by it and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the Secured Party shall have no obligation to any Person to act or refrain from acting or exercising any of its rights under this Security Agreement.

          21. Amendment. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding on the Secured Party or the Borrower or any Guarantor, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by the Secured Party, the Borrower and each Guarantor.

          22. Successors and Assigns. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Guarantor and the Secured Party, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

          25. Waivers by Borrower and Each Guarantor. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of Borrower and each Guarantor waives, to the extent permitted by Law: (a) presentment, demand, protest and notice of presentment, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations and notice of such acceleration, protest, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard; and (b) the benefit of all stay, extension, marshaling-of-assets or similar laws, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance of the Obligations by Borrower or any Guarantor or the enforcement of the Obligations by Lender. Each of Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel with respect to this Agreement and the transactions evidenced by this Agreement.

     (a) Waiver of Trial by Jury. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY DEALINGS AMONG THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION AND THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE PARTIES HERETO ALSO WAIVE ANY BOND OR

23

SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND THAT MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF ANY PARTY HERETO. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

     (b) Waiver of Certain Damages. NEITHER THE BORROWER NOR ANY GUARANTOR SHALL, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, ASSERT ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST LENDER FOR LOSS OF ANTICIPATORY PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES. THE LENDER SHALL NOT, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, ASSERT ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR FOR LOSS OF ANTICIPATORY PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES.

     (c) Consent to Jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding against any of the Parties with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions in connection with or relating hereto or thereto, may be brought in the courts of the State of New York in the County of New York or of the United States for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment, after exhaustion of all available appeals, in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties, and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction, by a suit upon such judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment.

     (d) Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers National Corporate Research, Ltd. (the “Process Agent”) with offices on the date hereof at ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as its designee, appointee and

24

agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on behalf of the Borrower and such Guarantor, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any such action or proceeding. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor further agrees that such service of process may be made on the Process Agent by personal service of a copy of the summons and complaint or other legal process in any such legal suit, action or proceeding on the Process Agent, or by any other method of service provided for under the Laws in effect in the County of New York, State of New York, and the Process Agent hereby is authorized and directed to accept such service for and on behalf of the Borrower and such Guarantor, and to admit service with respect thereto.

     (e) Waiver of Service of Process. Upon service of process being made on the Process Agent as provided in Section 25(d), a copy of the summons and complaint or other legal process served shall be given by the Process Agent to the Borrower or applicable Guarantor in the manner provided in Section 26, or to such other address as Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, may notify the Process Agent in writing. Personal service upon the Process Agent as provided in this Section 25(e) shall be deemed to be personal service on the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, and shall be legal and binding upon Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, for all purposes, notwithstanding any failure of the Process Agent to give copies of such legal process thereto, or any failure on the part of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, to receive the same.

     (f) Substitution of Process Agent. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor will at all times continuously maintain an agent to receive service of process in the County of New York, State of New York on its behalf with respect to each Loan Document. In the event that for any reason the Process Agent or any successor thereto shall no longer serve as agent for the Borrower or any Guarantor to receive service of process in the County of New York on its behalf or shall have changed its address without notification thereof to the Process Agent, the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, immediately after having knowledge thereof, will irrevocably designate and appoint a substitute agent in the County of New York, State of New York and advise the Lender.

Nothing contained in this Section 26 shall preclude the Secured Party or any Lender from bringing any legal suit, action or proceeding against the Borrower or any Guarantor in the courts of any jurisdiction where the Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their respective property or assets may be found or located. To the extent permitted by the Laws of any such jurisdiction, each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court and expressly waives, in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding, the jurisdiction of any court or courts which now or hereafter, by reason of its present or future domiciles, or otherwise, may be available to it. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SBP-RTS hereby agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction within the United States and will comply with all requirements necessary to give such court jurisdiction.

     (h) Consent to Venue. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying

25

of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with or any Loan Document or the transactions in connection with, or relating hereto or thereto brought in the courts referred to in clause (d) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SBP-RTS hereby waives any and all jurisdictional defenses to any United States forum selected by any other party hereto on grounds including, but not limited to, forum non-conveniens.

Notice so mailed shall be effective two (2) days after it is deposited in a receptacle maintained by the United States Postal Office for the acceptance of mail. Notice given in any other manner shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee, which receipt shall be deemed to have occurred upon the date of actual delivery as shown by the addressee’s registry, or by carrier or other certification of receipt.

          27. Counterparts; Facsimile Delivery. This Security Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Security Agreement by facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.

          28. Continuing Security Interest; Termination. This Security Agreement shall create a continuing Security Interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect for the benefit of the Secured Party until all Obligations to be paid or performed by the Borrower and each Guarantor under the Loan Documents have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Commitment has terminated. Upon the happening of all of such events, the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate. Upon such termination, the Secured Party shall, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a request from the Borrower or any Guarantor and at the expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver to the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, such documents as the Borrower or such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or expiration, including termination statement(s) for any financing statement on file with respect to the Collateral.

          29. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor makes a payment or payments of the Obligations to the Secured Party or the Secured Party enforces its security interests or exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently

26

invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or any part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and this Security Agreement and all Security Interests, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

          30. Non-Recourse Nature of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, recourse for the satisfaction of the Obligations shall be limited to enforcement of the security interests, liens and encumbrances against the assets of the Borrower and any Guarantor granted to the Secured Party and the equity or other ownership interests of the Borrower and any Guarantor pledged to the Secured Party pursuant to the Security Documents, and no other recourse for the satisfaction of the Obligations shall be had, whether by levy or execution or otherwise, against any partner of the Borrower or any member, partner or other owner of any Guarantor or against any of their members, stockholders, managers, directors, officers, agents or employees under any Law or Loan Document, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise, nor shall any of such persons or entities be personally liable for any amounts or claims, or liable for any defenses or any judgment based thereon or with respect thereto, other than payment from the assets of the Borrower and each Guarantor and the equity interests in the Borrower and in each Guarantor as a result of realization on the Collateral pursuant to security interests, liens and encumbrances granted to the Secured Party pursuant to the Security Documents; provided, however, nothing contained in this Section 30 shall (i) impair in respect of the Borrower or any Guarantor the validity of the indebtedness evidenced by this Security Agreement and the Notes secured by the Security Documents, prevent the taking of any action in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (during any period that any of the security interests, liens and encumbrances on the assets of Borrower and of any Guarantor and the equity interests in the Borrower and of any Guarantor pledged as aforesaid pursuant to the Security Documents are in effect) that is permitted by law against the assets of the Borrower and any Guarantor or the proceeds of such assets, or in any way affect or impair the right of any the Secured Party to take any action permitted by law to realize upon any of the Collateral or any other security which may secure the Obligations, (ii) be deemed to release any member or any Affiliate of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any past, present or future member, partner, officer, employee, director or agent of any thereof, from liability for its own fraudulent actions, knowing misrepresentations or willful misconduct or from any of its express obligations or liabilities, under any agreement, document, instrument or certificate executed by such Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Project Contracts or from liability for the breach of any fiduciary duties whether such duties arise before or after the institution of any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding in respect of either Borrower, any Guarantor or any of Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s other Affiliates, or (iii) limit the right of the Secured Party to initiate judicial proceedings against any partner, member, owner or any Affiliate of the Borrower or of any Guarantor or of any other Person solely to the extent necessary to obtain jurisdiction over the Borrower or any Guarantor.
