Such Obligor and each Project Company is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (except as would not be material to the interests of the holders of the Notes), and is duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, in each case other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be duly qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Obligor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Notes and the other Financing Documents to which it is a party and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof and to create the Liens intended to be created by the Security Documents. Such Obligor and each Subsidiary thereof has the power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, except, in each case, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

11

Section 5.2 Authorization, Etc. Each of the Note Documents to which such Obligor is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action on the part of such Person, and upon execution and delivery thereof, each Note Document will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 5.3 Disclosure. The Company, through the Placement Agents, has delivered to each Purchaser a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum, dated July 2021 and the Risk Considerations dated July 2021, (collectively, the “Memorandum”), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries. The information contained in this Agreement, the Memorandum and each other Note Document (in each case, other than projections, forward looking information, information of a general industry nature and any report delivered by a third party consultant) delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein (taken as a whole) not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Except as set forth in the Memorandum, this Agreement and the other Note Documents, since August 18, 2021, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary except changes that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

35

additional irrevocable offer to prepay the Senior Notes to each holder of Senior Notes that accepted such initial offer to prepay, in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes initially offered to be prepaid pursuant to Sections 8.2(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) but declined or not accepted as of the Initial Section 8.2 Acceptance Deadline Date, following which such additional offer each holder that is a recipient thereof must notify the Company in writing on or prior to the date (the “Additional Section 8.2 Acceptance Deadline Date”) that is three Business Days prior to the Applicable Prepayment Date (or such later date as is required in order to make such prepayment in accordance with the terms of the Depositary Agreement) if such holder is accepting the additional prepayment of Senior Notes.

In the event that the aggregate amount of the actual prepayment of Senior Notes under Section 8.2 plus the actual prepayment of Senior Notes pursuant to the additional irrevocable offer of prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.2(f) is less than the Applicable Aggregate Prepayment Amount, the amount by which the Applicable Aggregate Prepayment Amount exceeds such aggregate amount of such actual prepayment shall be applied first to repay Indebtedness as required pursuant to the LC Facility Credit Agreement, including the payment of any reimbursement obligations under any letter of credit loans then outstanding under the LC Facility, and any applicable Additional Permitted Senior Secured Indebtedness Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and then transferred to the Distribution Reserve Account in accordance with the Depositary Agreement (or, to the extent already on deposit in and credited to the Distribution Reserve Account, shall remain in the Distribution Reserve Account).

(g) Excess Net Cash Proceeds After Prepayment. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Senior Notes tendered pursuant to an offer to prepay the Senior Notes pursuant to this Section 8.2 is less than the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds that is received, the Company may, after application of any such Net Cash Proceeds to repay Indebtedness as required pursuant to the LC Facility Credit Agreement and any applicable Additional Permitted Senior Secured Indebtedness Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), use any remaining Net Cash Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Agreement.

36

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.2 to the contrary, in the event that the terms of any other Permitted Senior Secured Indebtedness require the prepayment (or cash collateralization) thereof in the circumstances requiring an offer to prepay the Senior Notes pursuant to this Section 8.2, the amount of such other Permitted Senior Secured Indebtedness required to be prepaid or cash collateralized shall be deemed to be tendered in full pursuant to such offer to prepay, and the amount or proceeds required to be applied to prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be applied ratably to the prepayment (or cash collateralization) of such other Permitted Senior Secured Indebtedness and to the Senior Notes tendered pursuant to such offer to prepay, together with accrued interest thereon, as applicable.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that one or more holders declines, or fails to accept in writing, the initial offer of prepayment to be made pursuant to Section 8.2(e) as of the Initial Section 8.2 Acceptance Deadline Date, the Company shall promptly deliver to each such holder all documentation and other information with respect to the transferee (as a result of the applicable Change of Control) as has been requested in writing by any such holder required to allow each such holder to comply with Applicable Law and related internal procedures relating to “know your customer” and customary anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 8.3 Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount.

(a) The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below and, if applicable, in accordance with Section 1.3(f)(iii) with respect to Subordinate Notes, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than $500,000 and integral multiples of $0.01 in excess of such amount (the “Authorized Denominations”) or, in each case, the lesser amount as is then outstanding, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount (unless such prepayment is made within 90 days of the Maturity Date of the respective Series of Notes to be prepaid, in which case no Make-Whole Amount will be payable).

(b) The Company will give each holder of Notes and the Notes Agent written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.3 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 18. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.4), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of an Authorized Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount, if any, due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such notice delivered pursuant to this Section 8.3 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of or receipt of proceeds of other Indebtedness, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the holders of Notes on or prior to the date that is two Business Days in advance of the date fixed for such prepayment) if such condition is not expected to be satisfied. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of an Authorized Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount, if any, as of the specified prepayment date.

37

Section 8.4 Allocation of Repayments and Partial Prepayments. In the case of each repayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.1, and each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated (a) in the case of any prepayment made pursuant to Sections 8.2(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) in connection with the Company’s initial offer of prepayment contemplated therein and in Section 8.2(f), among all of the Senior Notes at the time outstanding that are held by holders who have agreed to accept such prepayment in accordance with Section 8.2 in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment, (b) in the case of any prepayment made pursuant to Section 8.2(f) in connection with the Company’s additional offer of prepayment contemplated therein, among all of the Senior Notes at the time outstanding that are held by holders who have agreed to accept such offer of prepayment in accordance with Section 8.2(f) in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment (after accounting for any amounts determined pursuant to the foregoing clause (a)), and (c) in all other cases, among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. All prepayments of the Senior Notes made pursuant to Section 8.2 and all optional prepayments of the Notes made pursuant to Section 8.3 shall be applied pro rata to any remaining principal payments on the Notes, and in the case of the Initial Notes, the amortization schedule set forth in such Section 8.1 shall be adjusted accordingly.

Section 8.5 Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount (at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount prepaid in the case of a prepayment made in accordance with Section 8.2(e), but otherwise without any penalty or premium) of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount (at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount prepaid in the case of a prepayment made in accordance with Section 8.2(e), but otherwise without any penalty or premium) when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.6 Purchase of Notes. At any time and from time to time, any Obligor or any Affiliate thereof may purchase Senior Notes pursuant to a call for tenders given to all holders of the Senior Notes by notice given in accordance with Section 19, which notice shall specify the purchase date (which shall not be earlier than 15 days after the giving of such notice), the purchase price and the place of payment thereof. Any such call for tenders shall provide that the terms and conditions for such purchase shall be the same for all Senior Notes except to the extent that the respective purchase prices differ for different Series of Senior Notes as a result of differences in interest rates or payment or maturity dates. If an aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes is tendered which is greater than that offered to be purchased, such tendered Senior Notes shall be purchased on a pro rata basis in the proportion, as nearly as practicable, which the principal amount of Senior Notes tendered by each holder bears to the principal amount of Senior Notes tendered by all holders of Senior Notes. None of the Obligors will, nor permit any Affiliate (or, solely if purchased, redeemed or acquired on the date of the Closing or the date of any issuance of Senior

38

Notes or Subordinate Notes thereafter, any Person beneficially owning or holding, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of any class of voting or equity interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the outstanding Senior Notes except as provided for herein or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any outstanding Subordinate Notes (except for any redemptions permitted pursuant to Section 1.3(f)). The Company will promptly cancel all Senior Notes acquired by any Obligor or any Affiliate (or, solely if acquired on the date of the Closing or the date of any issuance of Senior Notes or Subordinate Notes thereafter, any Person beneficially owning or holding, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of any class of voting or equity interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) thereof and no Senior Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Senior Note.

Section 8.7 Make-Whole Amount.

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask ▇▇▇▇▇(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

39

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (ii) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.3 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.8 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause (y), any regular quarterly payment of principal and interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal due on the Maturity Date or Make-Whole Amount on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

40

Section 8.9 Withholding. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor hereunder or under any other Financing Document, including payments of interest on, principal of, Make-Whole Amount on or other amount with respect to any Note, shall be made without any deduction or withholding for any Taxes or fees of any kind whatsoever, unless the obligation to deduct or withhold is required by Applicable Law. If any such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law, payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall be made net of such deduction or withholding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any deduction or withholding under FATCA) and such deducted or withheld amounts shall be timely remitted to the appropriate Tax authority.

Section 8.10 Calculations . Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor the Notes Agent is responsible for any calculations in this Article VIII or in any section of this agreement, and each shall rely on the Company for any and all such calculations where applicable.

SECTION 9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

Each Obligor covenants that, as to such Obligor, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

Section 9.1 Compliance with Laws.

(a) Without limiting Section 10.4, or any other provision hereof or of any other Note Document, each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all Applicable Laws and applicable Governmental Authorizations to which each of them is subject (including ERISA, Environmental Laws, and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.13, the FPA, PUHCA, PURPA and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.17), in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such Applicable Laws would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a) of this Section 9.1, each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply in all material respects with the USA PATRIOT Act and all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Economic Sanctions Laws.

Section 9.2 Insurance. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, without cost to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of and commercially available to entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated; provided that insurance as is required to be maintained by the Tax Equity Documents as of the date of the Closing shall be deemed customary for purposes of this Section 9.2.

41

Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, operate, maintain and keep, or cause to be operated, maintained and kept, their respective properties (including the Projects and the assets of the Projects) (a) in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear) and (b) in a manner in accordance in all material respects with the applicable Project Documents and Prudent Industry Practice, so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, in each case except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.4 Payment of Taxes and Claims.

(a) Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay and discharge all Taxes before such Taxes become delinquent, except those for which (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by such Obligor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings and for which such Obligor or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of such Obligor or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such Taxes would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all Tax Returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction, except where the failure to file such Tax Returns would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) In the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives a notice of final partnership administrative adjustment under section 6231(a)(3) of the Code that would, with the passing of time, result in an “imputed underpayment” imposed on such Person, as that term is defined in section 6225 of the Code, the Company shall or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary (to the extent within the control of the Company) to, at least five days before the date required by law, (x) timely elect pursuant to section 6226 of the Code to make inapplicable to such Person the requirements in section 6225 of the Code to pay the “imputed underpayment” as that term is used in that section, (y) comply with all of the requirements and procedures required in connection with such election, and (z) provide evidence of such election to each Purchaser.

Section 9.5 Corporate Existence, Etc. Subject to Section 10.2, (a) each Obligor will at all times preserve and keep its corporate (or other organizational) existence in full force and effect and (b) each Obligor will cause each of its Subsidiaries to at all times preserve and keep its corporate (or other organizational) existence in full force and effect, in each case except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect all rights and franchises of such Obligor and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such right or franchise would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6 Books and Records. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in all material respects in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over such Obligor or such Subsidiary, except, with respect to any Non-

42

Obligor Subsidiary, as would not be Material. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets (including project, financial and accounting records in connection with any Cash Grant Projects), except, with respect to any Non-Obligor Subsidiary, as would not be Material.

Section 9.7 Necessary Project Approvals. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in full force and effect and, in the name of the applicable Subsidiary, all Necessary Project Approvals, except where such failure would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.8 Performance of Obligations. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, perform all of its material obligations, and pursue all its material rights and remedies, under each Project Document and Tax Equity Document to which it is a party, except for such nonperformance or non-pursuit as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.9 Payment of Notes. The Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes.

Section 9.10 Maintenance of Title.

Section 9.11 Use of Proceeds. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds of the Notes to fund, in whole or in part, renewable energy and/or battery storage projects and as set forth in the funds flow memorandum delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(j), including financings or refinancings of, or investments in, equipment and systems which generate or facilitate the generation or storage of energy from renewable sources, such as solar energy, and the owners thereof. Specifically, the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds of the Notes (a) to fund ongoing working capital requirements with respect to the Projects, (b) pay project costs during the construction period of each Construction Project, (c) to make a special distribution to the Parent on the date of the Closing in the amount set forth in the funds flow memorandum delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(j) (including the amounts set forth in such funds flow memorandum to repay Indebtedness of Parent and certain of its Affiliates), (d) to pay transaction fees and expenses associated with the issuance of the Notes and the closing of the LC Facility and (e) for general corporate purposes.

The Company agrees to request that the Applicable Rating Agency include the Private Placement Number (if any) for each Series of

43

Notes in any rating letter it may provide in accordance with this Section 9.12 and provide a statement that such letter may be shared with the holders’ regulatory and self-regulatory bodies (including the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC) and auditors of any holder of the Initial Notes without need for a non-disclosure agreement with a Rating Agency; provided, however, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that failure by the Applicable Rating Agency to include the Private Placement Number (if any) or such statement for each Series of Notes in such rating letter shall not result in any breach, default or non-compliance by the Company hereunder.

Section 9.13 Further Assurances. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take all such further actions and execute all such further documents and instruments as the Required Holders (or the First Lien Collateral Agent acting at the direction of the Required Holders) may at any time reasonably determine to be necessary to further carry out and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents.

The Company will cause each other Obligor and each of its other Subsidiaries to distribute all cash that such Obligor or such Subsidiary, as applicable, is permitted by Applicable Law and the terms of applicable Organizational Documents, Project Documents, Project Financing Documents, and the Tax Equity Documents to distribute to the Company, directly or indirectly, provided that, each Project Company (and each other Subsidiary of an Obligor) shall be permitted to retain cash in an amount, in the Company’s

44

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Obligor and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to (x) enter into non-speculative hedging (including effective sale) obligations (including with respect to capacity, energy, Tax and environmental attributes, ancillary services and other products and services sold in accordance with the Project Documents or in the ordinary course of business) with Affiliates, and in connection therewith to transfer their capacity, energy, Tax or environmental attributes, ancillary services or other such products and services or contracts relating thereto to such Affiliates in order to satisfy commitments by such Affiliates or facilitate the monetization thereof, in each case on arm’s length terms (including terms that are passed through from the applicable agreement between the applicable Affiliate and a third party, with appropriate charges) and (y) perform their obligations to the Manager under the Management Services Agreement.

SECTION 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

Section 12.1 Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to any Obligor described in Section 11(h), (i) or (j) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(h) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(h) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(h)) has occurred, all the Senior Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Senior Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a), (b) or (c) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Senior Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Senior Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

(d) The Subordinate Notes may be declared to be due and payable by the holders thereof in the manner set forth in the related Supplemental NPA pursuant to which such Subordinate Notes are issued, subject in any event to the Subordination Agreement applicable to such Subordinate Notes.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, determined in respect of such principal amount, shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. Each Obligor acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by any Obligor (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount, if any, by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

63

Section 12.2 Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien Collateral Agent (as directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties under the Intercreditor Agreement) or the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or any other Note Document, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise, including all rights and remedies set forth in the other Note Documents; provided that the right of any holder of a Subordinate Note under this Section 12.2 shall be subject to the applicable Subordination Agreement.

Section 12.3 Rescission.

(a) At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences including pursuant to Section 13.2(d) (other than with respect to a Subordinate Note Event of Default) if (i) the Obligors have paid all overdue interest on the Senior Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Senior Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Senior Notes, at the Default Rate, (ii) neither any Obligors nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (iii) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 18, and (iv) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto, pursuant to any other Note Document or pursuant to the Senior Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3(a) will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Subordinate Note Event of Default, provided that the Required Holders and the Required Holders of Subordinate Notes have notified all other holders and the Company to such effect, such Subordinate Note Event of Default shall be waived upon the terms and conditions as the Required Holders and the Required Holders of Subordinate Notes may prescribe. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3(b) will extend to or affect any subsequent Subordinate Note Event of Default.

Section 12.4 No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Note or any other Note Document upon any holder of a Note shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Obligors under Section 16, the Obligors, jointly and severally, will pay to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Depositary Bank and the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such Person incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

64

Section 12.5 Default Rate. During the period that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, interest on the outstanding principal amount of all Notes shall accrue at the applicable Default Rate.

SECTION 13. GUARANTEE, ETC.

Section 13.1 Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee to each holder of any Senior Note or Senior Notes at any time outstanding and of any Subordinate Note or Subordinate Notes at any time outstanding the prompt payment in full, in Dollars, when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory or optional prepayment or otherwise) of the principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes and Subordinate Notes (including interest on any overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any and including amounts that would become due but for the existence of a proceeding under bankruptcy or insolvency law involving any Obligor) and all other amounts from time to time owing by the Company under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents to any holder (including costs, expenses and Taxes described in Section 4.1(g)) (such payments being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if the Company shall default in the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations (after giving effect to all applicable grace and cure periods), the Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full in cash when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory or optional prepayment or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. All obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 13 shall survive the transfer of any Senior Note or Subordinate Note, and any obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 13 with respect to which the underlying obligation of the Company is expressly stated to survive payment of any Senior Note or Subordinate Note shall also survive payment of such Senior Note or Subordinate Note.

Section 13.2 Obligations Unconditional.

(a) The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 13.1 constitute a present and continuing guaranty of payment when due and not collectability and are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the other Note Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

65

(i) any amendment, supplement or modification of any provision of this Agreement, the other Note Documents or any assignment or transfer thereof, including the renewal or extension of the time of payment of any of the Notes or the granting of time in respect of such payment thereof, or of any furnishing or acceptance of security or any additional guarantee or any release of any security or guarantee so furnished or accepted for any of the Notes, or the issuance of any Additional Senior Notes or Subordinate Notes;

(ii) any waiver, consent, extension, granting of time, forbearance, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Note Documents, or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy or power in respect hereof or thereof;

(iii) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any other holder of a Note as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected;

(iv) any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceedings with respect to the Company or any other Person or the properties or creditors of any of them;

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under, or any invalidity or any unenforceability of, or any misrepresentation, irregularity or other defect in, this Agreement, the other Note Documents or any other agreement;

(vi) any transfer of any assets to or from the Company, including any transfer or purported transfer to the Company from any Person, any invalidity, illegality of, or inability to enforce, any such transfer or purported transfer, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any Person, any change in the ownership of any Equity Interests of the Company, or any change whatsoever in the objects, capital structure, constitution or business of the Company;

(vii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, on the part of the Company or any other Person to perform or comply with, or the impossibility or illegality of performance by the Company or any other Person of, any term of this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or any other agreement;

(viii) any suit or other action brought by, or any judgment in favor of, any beneficiaries or creditors of, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, including any suit or action in any way attacking or involving any issue, matter or thing in respect of this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or any other agreement;

66

(ix) any lack or limitation of status or of power, incapacity or disability of the Company or any trustee or agent thereof; or

(x) any other thing, event, happening, matter, circumstance or condition whatsoever (other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), not in any way limited to the foregoing.

(b) The Guarantors hereby unconditionally waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever and any requirement that any holder of a Senior Note or Subordinate Note exhaust any right, power or remedy against any Obligor under this Agreement, the other Note Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) In the event that the Guarantors shall at any time pay any amount on account of the Guaranteed Obligations or take any other action in performance of their obligations hereunder, the Guarantors shall not exercise any subrogation or other rights hereunder or under the Senior Notes or Subordinate Notes and each Guarantor hereby waives all rights it may have to exercise any such subrogation or other rights, and all other remedies that it may have against the Company, in respect of any payment made hereunder unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantors on account of any such subrogation rights or other remedy, notwithstanding the waiver thereof, such amount shall be received in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Notes or Subordinate Notes and shall forthwith be paid to such holders to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Guarantor agrees (i) that its obligations under this Section 13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment (including payment in full) by or on behalf of the Company is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of a Senior Note or Subordinate Note, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid and (ii) that it will indemnify each holder of a Note on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(d) If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Senior Notes or Subordinate Notes shall at any time have occurred and be continuing and such acceleration (and the effect thereof on the Guaranteed Obligations) shall at such time be prevented by reason of the pendency against the Company or any other Person of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, each Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of the guarantee in this Section 13 and such Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement, the maturity of the principal amount of the Senior Notes or Subordinate Notes, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been accelerated (with a corresponding effect on the Guaranteed Obligations) with the same effect as if the holders of the Senior Notes or Subordinate Notes had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Guarantors shall forthwith pay such principal amount, any interest thereon, any Make-Whole Amount and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder without further notice or demand.

67

(e) The guarantee in this Section 13 is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. Each default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate claim and cause of action hereunder, and separate claims or suits may be made and brought, as the case may be, hereunder as each such default occurs.

Section 13.3 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 13 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any holder of a Note or the First Lien Collateral Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.

Section 13.4 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state or provincial corporate law, or any foreign, state, provincial or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 13.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 13.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any holder of a Note, the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 13.5 Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the outstanding Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with and in a manner permitted by the terms and conditions of the Note Documents, the guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by the First Lien Collateral Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person, effective as of the time of such sale or disposition.

Section 13.6 Additional Guarantors. Upon (a) the formation or acquisition by the Company or any other Obligor of any new direct or indirect Subsidiary after the date of the Closing that owns directly or indirectly 100% of the Equity Interests in a Portfolio Company or assets that would reasonably be expected to be Material or (b) the guarantee by any Person, including any Subsidiary of the Company, of any Permitted Senior Secured Indebtedness or the Subordinate Notes, the Company shall, at the Company’s expense within 10 days after such formation or acquisition or the giving of such guarantee cause such Subsidiary (or, in the case of clause (b), such Person) to duly execute and deliver (i) to the First Lien Collateral Agent and each holder of one or more Notes, a Joinder Agreement or such other documentation reasonably acceptable to the

68

Required Holders to become a Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) to the First Lien Collateral Agent, a “Security Agreement Supplement” (as defined in the First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement), or such other documentation reasonably acceptable to the First Lien Collateral Agent to become a “Grantor” (as defined in the First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement) pursuant to the First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement.

Section 13.7 Subordinate Notes. The Subordinate Notes shall be subordinated to the payment of the Senior Notes on terms set forth in the applicable Subordination Agreement and the guarantee under this Section 13 of any Subordinate Notes shall be subject to the terms of such Subordination Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 14. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

Section 14.1 Registration of Notes. The Notes Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall keep at its office specified in Section 15.6, a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. If any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then (a) the name and address of the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered in such register as an owner and holder thereof and (b) at any such beneficial owner’s option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and no Obligor shall be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Notes Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall give to (i) any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor and (ii) the First Lien Collateral Agent promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes and including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Senior Note Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) held by such registered holders of Notes at such time.

Section 14.2 Transfer and Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note to the Notes Agent at the address specified in Section 15.6, for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof and any other information or documentation the Notes Agent may reasonably request), within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes of the same Series (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 in the case of the Initial Notes, or of the Note form established for the applicable Series. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

principal or interest is due hereunder, and all such payments of principal and interest shall accordingly be made to the record holder of such Note as of the Record Date. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp Tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $500,000 without the consent of the Company in its sole discretion, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes of a Series, one Note of such Series may be in a denomination of less than $500,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.2.

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Notes Agent (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an Initial Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof and receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Notes Agent (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an Initial Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory),

within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Notes Agent shall request that the Company, and the Company shall (at its own expense), execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note of the same Series, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Section 15.1 Place of Payment. Subject to Section 15.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made at the principal office of the Notes Agent. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

Section 15.2 Payment by Wire Transfer. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 15.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company (or the Notes Agent, on its behalf) will pay all sums becoming due

70

on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and all other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule or the applicable Supplemental NPA, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company and the Notes Agent in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company or the Notes Agent made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Notes Agent at the address specified in Section 19(v). Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Notes Agent in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 14.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 15.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 15.2.

Section 15.3 Tax Information. By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees that such holder will upon such acceptance of a Note and from time to time thereafter with reasonable promptness duly complete and deliver to the Company and the Notes Agent, or to such other Person as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the Notes Agent, (a) in the case of any such holder that is a United States Person, an executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or any successor thereto, including appropriate attachments) establishing such holder’s status as a United States Person and exemption from U.S. backup withholding and (b) in the case of any such holder that is not a United States Person, an executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable IRS Form W-8 or any successor thereto, including appropriate attachments), in each case, any other such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) as may be necessary for the Obligors and such other Person to comply with their obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount of Taxes (if any) to deduct and withhold from any such payment made to such holder (including any Taxes imposed under section 1441 or 1442 of the Code (or any successor provisions) and backup withholding) or otherwise comply with applicable tax laws. Each holder of a Note shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify the Company and the Notes Agent if any form or documentation previously delivered by such holder expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, and shall duly complete and deliver to the Company, the Notes Agent or such other Person an updated form or documentation upon such event. Nothing in this Section 15.3 shall require any holder to provide information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder unless the Company, the Notes Agent or such other Person is required to obtain such information under FATCA or to determine the amount of Taxes (if any) to deduct and withhold from any payment made to such holder or otherwise comply with applicable tax laws and, in such event, the Company and the Notes Agent shall treat (and the Company shall cause the Obligors and such other Person to treat) any such information it receives as confidential except as required by applicable law. The Purchasers shall provide to the Notes Agent or their respective agents all information, documentation or certifications reasonably requested by the Notes Agent to permit the Notes Agent to comply with their tax reporting obligations under Applicable Law, including any applicable cost basis reporting obligations.

This Section 20 shall not prohibit any Obligor or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

SECTION 21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of any Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement and the other Note Documents that is proprietary in nature and (i) that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of such Obligor or such Subsidiary or (ii) that a reasonable person would expect to be treated as confidential under the circumstances of its disclosure, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by any Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly

77

available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, and agrees to, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law from doing so, give the Company prompt written notice of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information, and assist the Company in remedying any such unauthorized use or disclosure, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors and investors in any Related Fund that hold a beneficial interest in the Notes, in all cases, who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 21, (iii) any other holder of any Note, the Notes Agent, any other Secured Party or the First Lien Collateral Agent, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of any Obligor (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (vi) any federal, state or provincial regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any other Note Document and, in the event Confidential Information is so required to be disclosed pursuant to the foregoing, the applicable Purchaser agrees to disclose such required Confidential Information to the minimum extent required and (other than at the request of a regulatory authority, governmental agency or pursuant to a broad based subpoena or similar discovery process, in each case, not directly related to any Obligor or the transactions contemplated hereby), and, solely in the case of the foregoing clause (viii), such Purchaser shall provide the Company with prompt written notice (unless such notification shall be prohibited by applicable law or legal process) of such permitted disclosure. To the extent that any breach of terms of this Section 21 occurs, the Purchaser that has breached this Section 21 agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in restricting or preventing such further breaches. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 21 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 21.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to any Obligor or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree

78

to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 21, this Section 21 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Obligors, this Section 21 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

Each Purchaser agrees that money damages may be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for breach of the terms of this Section 21, and that in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, in the event of any breach of the terms of this Section 21, the Company shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, without proof of actual damages and/or the requirement of posting a bond or other security. Each Purchaser agrees to be responsible to the Company for any damage, loss, cost or liability (including reasonable and documented legal fees and the cost of enforcing this agreement) arising out of or resulting from any breach of the terms of this Section 21 by such Purchaser that is determined by a court or other arbiter of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order.

SECTION 22. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Initial Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Initial Purchaser or any one of such other Initial Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Initial Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the Notes Agent, which notice (a) shall be signed by both such Initial Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, (b) shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and the other Note Documents and (c) shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Initial Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Initial Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as an Initial Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Initial Purchaser all of the Initial Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company and the Notes Agent of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Initial Purchaser, and such original Initial Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Initial Notes under this Agreement and the other Note Documents.
