Aggregate Purchase Price

Subject to the adjustment set out in Subsection 2.3 hereof, the aggregate purchase price payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor for the Purchased Shares (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) shall be $2,500,000 (Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars).

2.2.4

$300,000 shall be paid on the date that is eight (8) Business Days following the date the Brooke – Alvinston Project has attained Commercial Operation; and

2.2.5

2.3

Post-Closing Adjustment of the Aggregate Purchase Price

2.3.1

Within 15 Business Days of attaining Commercial Operation, the Purchaser shall provide to the Vendor, a certificate confirming the Balance of Plant Costs

(the “Balance of Plant Costs Certificate”) in respect of the Brooke-Alvinston Project. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Balance of Plant Costs” means the total construction costs for the Brooke-Alvinston Project excluding all costs of the Project relating to the Turbine Supply Agreement, refundable deposits made to Hydro One Networks Inc. and the OPA, if any, any interest accrued in respect of the Project, real property lease costs, management fees or other amounts paid to the Purchaser or Persons who are not at arm’s length to the Purchaser, depreciation and amortization, financing fees, and Taxes to be calculated in accordance with the categories set forth in the 2011-2012 pro forma budget attached hereto as Schedule 2.3.

2.3.2

In the event that the Balance of Plant Costs exceed $7,000,000, there shall be a reduction in the Aggregate Purchase Price equal to such excess provided that such price reduction shall not exceed $500,000.

2.4

Disputes in respect of the Balance of Plant Costs

2.4.1

The Vendor shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery by the Purchaser of the Balance of Plant Costs Certificate (such period, the “Dispute Period”) to notify the Purchaser, in writing, as to whether the Vendor agrees or disagrees with the Balance of Plant Costs (such written notice, the “Dispute Notice”). If the Vendor fails to deliver a Dispute Notice to the Purchaser during the Dispute Period, the Balance of Plant Costs as prepared by the Purchaser shall be deemed to have been correctly prepared and shall be binding upon the Parties.

2.4.2

If the Vendor delivers a Dispute Notice to the Purchaser during the Dispute Period, the Vendor and the Purchaser shall, for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days from the date the Dispute Notice is delivered to the Purchaser (such period, the “Resolution Period”), use their respective best efforts to amicably resolve the items in dispute. Any items so resolved shall be deemed to be final and correct as so resolved and shall be binding upon each of the Parties.

2.4.3

If the Vendor and the Purchaser are unable to resolve all of the items in dispute during the Resolution Period, then either of them may refer the items remaining in dispute to the Independent Accountant. Such referral shall be made in writing to the Independent Accountant, copies of which shall concurrently be delivered to the non-referring Party. The referring Party shall furnish the Independent Accountant, at the time of such referral, with the Balance of Plant Costs Certificate and the Dispute Notice. The Parties shall also furnish the Independent Accountant with such other information and documents as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request to resolve the items in dispute. The Parties shall also, within ten (10) Business Days of the date the items in dispute are referred to the Independent

Accountant, provide the Independent Accountant with a written notice (a “Position Statement”) describing in reasonable detail their respective positions on the items in dispute (copies of which will concurrently be delivered to the other Party hereto).

2.4.4

If any Party fails to timely deliver its Position Statement to the Independent Accountant, the Independent Accountant shall resolve the items in dispute solely upon the basis of the information otherwise provided to them. The Independent Accountant shall resolve all disputed items in a written determination to be delivered to each of the Parties within twenty (20) Business Days after such matter is referred to them; provided, however, that any delay in delivering such determination shall not invalidate such determination or deprive the Independent Accountant of jurisdiction to resolve the items in dispute. The decision of the Independent Accountant as to the items in dispute shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall not be subject to judicial review. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant incurred in the resolution of any items in dispute shall be determined by the Independent Accountant and set forth in its report and shall be borne by the Parties in proportion to the aggregate dollar amount of items unsuccessfully disputed by each Party (as finally determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all disputed items.

2.4.5

In the event of the delivery of a Dispute Notice, the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendor on the Adjustment Date an amount equal to the Final Balance minus the amount that is in dispute.

2.4.6

Within ten (10) Business Days after the final determination of the Balance of Plant Costs (whether through failure of the Vendor to timely deliver a Dispute Notice, agreement of the Parties, or determination of the Independent Accountant), the Purchaser shall pay the remaining unpaid portion, if any, of the Final Balance to the Vendor.

2.4.7

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Purchaser is unable to complete the final accounting of costs within 15 Business Days of attaining Commercial Operation by reason of not being able to obtain a final accounting of costs from either Hydro One Networks Inc. or RES Canada, the dates referenced in Subsections 2.3 and 2.4 shall be adjusted as may be agreed by the Parties to reflect the delay in the completion of the final accounting; provided however that if the final accounting is not completed within ninety (90) days of attaining Commercial Operation, the Purchaser shall pay $500,000 to counsel for the Purchaser, in trust, (the “Escrow Agent”) to be held on account of the remaining unpaid portion of the Final Balance and to be remitted by the Escrow Agent to the Vendor or the

Purchaser as appropriate once the Final Balance is determined. Any interest on the funds held by the Escrow Agent shall be remitted to the Vendor and the Purchaser in the same proportion as the principal amount.

2.5

Pledge of Purchased Shares

Immediately following Closing, the Purchaser and the Vendor shall enter into a pledge agreement (the “SPI Pledge”) which is substantially in the form of the limited recourse guarantee and pledge agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to which the Purchaser will pledge the Purchased Shares to the Vendor as continuing security for the payment of portions of the Aggregate Purchase Price which are not payable on Closing.

Indemnification by the Vendor

Subject to the limitations set out in this Agreement, the Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation, the Purchaser and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and affiliates against all Losses suffered or incurred by the Purchaser or the Corporation arising as a result of, in respect of or arising out of:

9.3

Fraud and Intentional Misconduct

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the limitations with respect to time contained in Subsection 9.7 shall not apply to any Indemnified Claim made against the Vendor in respect of fraud, intentional misrepresentations or misconduct.

9.4

Procedure for Submitting and Resolving Claims for Indemnification

If any Party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (in this Section 9, the “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of or discovers any Claim or the commencement of any action for which one or more other Parties (in this Section 9, the “Indemnitor”) is or may be liable under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Claim”), the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Indemnitor of the Indemnified Claim in writing. Such notice shall specify whether the Indemnified Claim arose as a result of a Claim by a Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Claim does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”) and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available):

9.4.1

the factual basis of the Claim; and

9.4.2

the amount of the Claim, if known.

The failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability or obligation under this Agreement or otherwise, except to the extent, and only to the extent, such Indemnitor is prejudiced in the defence of such Indemnified Claim as a result of such failure and can show the monetary amount by which it was so prejudiced.

9.5

Direct Claims.

In the case of a Direct Claim, the Indemnitor shall have 45 days from receipt of notice of the Direct Claim within which to make such investigation of the Direct Claim as the Indemnitor considers necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnitor the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Direct Claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnitor may reasonably request. If both Parties agree at or before the expiration of such 45 day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Direct Claim, the Indemnitor shall pay to the Indemnified Party, the amount of such Direct Claim failing which the matter shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser and the Corporation shall be entitled to set-off any portion of an amount payable by an Indemnitor in respect of a Direct Claim against any amounts payable to such Indemnitor regardless of whether there is an outstanding dispute in respect of such Direct Claim.

9.6

Third Party Claims.

9.6.1

In the case of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will be entitled to participate in the defence of such Third Party Claim, and, if it so elects, to assume the defence of such Third Party Claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Vendor

shall not be entitled to assume the defence of any Third Party Claim arising out of any breach of (or any alleged breach of or allegation or assertion inconsistent with) any representation, warranty or covenant in respect of Tax matters. After written notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnified Party of such election to assume the defence, the Indemnitor will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defence of the Third Party Claim, other than costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred at the request of the Indemnitor. The assumption of the defence of any such Third Party Claim will only be permitted if the Indemnitor first acknowledges, in writing, that it is liable for such Third Party Claim and reasonably demonstrates to the Indemnified Party that it has the financial ability to carry-out such defence.

9.6.2

The Indemnitor may, at its election and following its admission that it is liable for such Third Party Claim, settle or compromise such Third Party Claim, but (1) no such settlement or compromise may be effected without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, unless there is no finding or admission of any violation of any Governmental Regulation or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party, and (2) the Indemnified Party will have no liability with respect to any settlement or compromise of such Claims effected without its consent.

9.6.3

The Indemnified Party will not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnitor, unless the Indemnitor has failed or refused to assist the Indemnified Party in the defence of the Third Party Claim or has unreasonably refused to settle or has withheld its consent to a proposed settlement or compromise of such Third Party Claim.

9.6.4

The Parties will use their commercially reasonable best efforts to agree on whether indemnifiable damages exist and, if so, the amount. Any amounts determined to be owed will be paid within 45 days of such determination. The Parties will cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in the defence of Claims under this Agreement.

9.7

Survival of Representations, warranties and Indemnities

9.7.1

Each of the representations, warranties and indemnities set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate, agreement or other document furnished by or on behalf of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive Closing and, notwithstanding Closing or any documents delivered or investigations made by the Parties in connection therewith, shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Party to whom such representation, warranty and indemnity was made for a period of one year following the date of

Commercial Operation provided that representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.1.10 and 7.1.28 shall survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the underlying Claim, if any (the applicable date until which the representations, warranties and indemnities survive is referred to in this Agreement as the “Representation Survival Date”); and representations, warranties and indemnities pertaining to the Purchased Shares in Subsections 7.1.3 and 7.1.4 shall survive without limit of time.

9.7.2

No Claim, lawsuit or other proceeding arising out of or related to the breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement may be made by any Party unless notice of such Claim, lawsuit or other proceeding is given to the applicable Party prior to the applicable Representation Survival Date.

9.7.3

Each of the covenants set forth in this Agreement will survive the Closing in accordance with its terms.

9.7.4

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights and remedies under this Subsection 9.7 with respect to any Claim, lawsuit or other proceeding (including without limitation recovery of Losses in respect thereof) for which notice has been given prior to the applicable Representation Survival Date will survive until such Claim, lawsuit or other proceeding has been resolved.

9.8

Recourse

The Purchaser shall have the right of equitable set-off with respect to any amounts owed to it or to the Corporation by the Vendor under any provision of this Agreement. Accordingly, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser may, at its option, set-off any such amounts owed to it or to the Corporation by the Vendor against amounts owed by the Purchaser to the Vendor under this Agreement or any agreement between the Purchaser and/or the Corporation and the Vendor.
