Each Lender’s remaining Construction Loan Commitment shall be reduced to zero on the earlier of (i) the last Business Day of the Construction Loan Availability Period and (ii) the Construction Loan Maturity Date. The Construction Loans may from time to time be LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.11.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of LIBOR Loans, notify each Lender of the contents of such notice.

Each Lender shall make its Term Loan by converting to a Term Loan the unpaid principal amount of its Construction Loans then outstanding, in an

amount not to exceed its available Term Loan Commitment. Each Lender’s Term Loan Commitment shall be irrevocably terminated upon the making of such Term Loan by such Lender. Unless terminated on or before such date in connection with Term Conversion, the Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Date Certain.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment) (such applicable rate, the “Default Rate”).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a LIBOR Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the LIBOR Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.13(a).

2.15 Promissory Notes.

(a) The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Construction Loans made by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall if requested by such Lender be evidenced by Construction Loan promissory notes in the form of Exhibit C-1 (individually, a “Construction Loan Note” and, collectively, the “Construction Loan Notes”), each payable to such Lender or its registered successors or assigns and in the principal amount of such Lender’s Construction Loan Commitment.

(b) The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans made by each Lender and to pay all interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall if requested by such Lender be evidenced by Term Loan promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 (individually, a “Term Loan Note” and, collectively, the “Term Loan Notes”), each payable to such Lender or its registered successors or assigns and in the principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Such Term Loan Notes shall be delivered to each applicable Lender on or prior to the Term Conversion Date.

(c) The obligation of the Borrower to repay the LC Loans made by each Issuing Bank and to pay all interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall if requested by such Issuing Bank be evidenced by an LC Loan promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit C-3 (the, “LC Loan Note”), payable to such Issuing Bank or its registered successors or assigns and in the principal amount of such Lender’s LC Commitment. The LC Loan Notes shall be delivered to each applicable Issuing Bank on or prior to the date of issuance of the applicable Letter of Credit.

2.16 Letters of Credit.

(a) LC Commitment. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,

(A) each DSR Issuing Bank agrees to issue a DSR Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower on the Term Loan Conversion Date, in the maximum stated amount equal to the DSR LC Commitment of the DSR Issuing Bank issuing such DSR Letter of Credit;

(B) the Decommissioning Issuing Bank agrees to issue the Decommissioning Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in favor of Merced County on the Commercial Operation Date under the SCE Power Purchase Agreement, in the maximum stated amount equal to $3,335,742.15;

(C) the PPA Issuing Bank agrees to issue the PPA Development Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in favor of the Power Purchaser on the Closing Date, in the maximum stated amount equal to $3,240,000.00; and

(D) provided the Commercial Operation Date under the SCE Power Purchase Agreement has occurred (or will occur contemporaneously with the issuance of the PPA Performance Letter of Credit), the PPA Performance Issuing Bank agrees to issue the PPA Performance Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in favor of the Power Purchaser under the SCE Power Purchase Agreement, in the maximum stated amount equal to $38,651,040.00.

(ii) Each Letter of Credit shall (A) be denominated in Dollars and (B) expire no later than the earlier of (1) twelve (12) months from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (2) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the LC Commitment Termination Date; provided that each Letter of Credit shall provide for renewal for one or more additional 12 month periods (which in no event shall extend beyond the LC Commitment Termination Date). Each Letter of Credit shall provide that the available amount thereunder shall be reduced by each Drawing made by the applicable beneficiary pursuant to such Letter of Credit (such amount for each such Letter of Credit, as so reduced from time to time, outstanding at any time, the “Available Amount”) subject to Section 2.16(m) in the case of DSR Letters of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, of any changes in the Available Amount of the Letter of Credit issued by it or the expiration date of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice, or notice of a Drawing, shall not limit or impair the rights of such Issuing Bank hereunder and under the Loan Documents.

(iii) No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Governmental Rule.

(b) Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may request that an Issuing Bank issue the applicable Letter of Credit to the extent not issued prior to the date hereof by delivering to such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, at the applicable addresses for notices specified herein, a LC Issuance Notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit G, and a letter of credit application in such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a letter of credit, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Bank, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Bank may request. Upon receipt of such LC Issuance Notice and such application and the reasonable satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 3.3, such Issuing Bank will process such application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue such Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Bank be required to issue such Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the LC Issuance Notice and application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of the Letter of Credit issued by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly following the issuance thereof. Such Issuing

Bank shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(c) Fees and Other Charges. In addition to the fees payable pursuant to Section 2.6, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Bank for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Bank in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering the Letter of Credit issued by it.

(d) Drawings. In the event that a Drawing is made on any Letter of Credit on or prior to the LC Commitment Termination Date, (i) the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders, of such Drawing, and (ii) any payment by such Issuing Bank of such Drawing shall, to the extent provided in Section

2.16(e) below, constitute the making by such Issuing Bank of a LC Loan to the Borrower in the amount of such Drawing. In such event, any Issuing Bank making a LC Loan shall be entitled to the same rights and remedies (on a pro rata basis) in respect of such LC Loans as any Lender that has made a Construction Loan has in respect of such Construction Loans hereunder. All such LC Loans made with respect to Drawings under the related Letter of Credit under this Section 2.16 shall be secured by the Security Documents as if made directly to the Borrower.

(e) Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower.

(i) If a Drawing is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of such Drawing so paid by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Drawing in Dollars, no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date the Borrower receives notice thereof, subject to this Section 2.16(e). So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Drawing is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by the related Issuing Bank, the payment by such Issuing Bank of such Drawing shall constitute the making of a DSR LC Loan or Project LC Loan, as applicable, by such Issuing Bank to the Borrower in the amount of such Drawing, and to the extent so financed, the Borrower’ Reimbursement Obligations shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting LC Loans. In addition, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank for any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with the payment of any such Drawing not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receive notice of such Drawing, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receive such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the applicable Issuing Bank at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any LC Loans made by any Issuing Bank as a result of any Drawing from the date on which the relevant Drawing is paid until payment in full.

(ii) Any payment made by any Issuing Bank for any Drawing (other than the funding of such Drawing with LC Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligations with respect to such Drawing except to the extent such Drawing is funded with an LC Loan.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Bank, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agree with the Issuing Banks that the Issuing Banks shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations shall not be

affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with the related Letters of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and non- appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with the related Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Bank to the Borrower.

(g) Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of any Issuing Bank to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under the applicable Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under the such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with the such Letter of Credit.

(h) Applications. To the extent that any provision of any letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into with, any Issuing Bank related to the applicable Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

(i) LC Loan Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest with respect to all LC Loans resulting from all Drawings pursuant to Section 2.13; provided, however, upon the occurrence of any Drawing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected the interest rate based on then-applicable Base Rate. Thereafter, LC Loans may from time to time be LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.11.

(j) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any payment in respect of a Drawing, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such Drawing in full on the date such Drawing is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such Drawing is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such Drawing (including by the making of an LC Loan), at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that if such Drawing is not reimbursed by the Borrower when due pursuant to Section 2.16(e), then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank.

(k) Return of Letters of Credit. On the day that any Letter of Credit expires by its terms, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the original of such Letter of Credit to be returned by the applicable beneficiary to such Issuing Bank.

(l) Modifications and Supplements. The issuance by an Issuing Bank of any modification or supplement to any Letter of Credit (other than a reduction or release thereof or as contemplated by Section 2.16(m)) in accordance with this Agreement shall be subject to the same conditions as are applicable under this Section 2.16 and Section 3.3 to the issuance of new Letters of Credit, and no such modification or supplement shall be issued hereunder unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such modified or supplemented form or (ii) the applicable Issuing Bank shall have consented thereto.

(m) Reinstatement of Amounts Available for Drawing and other Adjustments to Amounts Available for Drawing. In the case of the DSR Letters of Credit only, in the event that any such DSR Letter of Credit provides that the amounts available for Drawing under such DSR Letter of Credit shall be reinstated (in whole or in part) upon delivery by the DSR Issuing Bank of such DSR Letter of Credit to the beneficiary of such DSR Letter of Credit of a certificate to the effect that amounts drawn under such DSR Letter of Credit have been reimbursed by the Borrower, such DSR Issuing Bank shall deliver such certificate so long as such DSR Issuing Bank shall have been advised in writing by the Administrative Agent that (A) the Available Amount of such DSR Letter of Credit does not exceed the applicable DSR LC Commitment of the applicable DSR Issuing Bank after giving effect to the reinstatement and (B)(1) the Reimbursement Obligation relating to such Drawing has been paid in full, together with interest thereon and all other amounts payable with respect thereto and/or (2) the related DSR LC Loan of such DSR Letter of Credit relating to such Reimbursement Obligation has been paid (in whole or in part), together with interest due and payable thereon and all other amounts payable with respect thereto; provided, that in the event that any such DSR LC Loan is paid in part the amount available for Drawing under the related DSR Letter of Credit shall be subject to reinstatement in an amount not exceeding the amount of such payment and provided, further, that the delivery of such certificate shall be subject to the same conditions as are applicable under this Section 2.16 and Section 3.3 to the issuance of new Letters of Credit, and no such modification or supplement shall be issued hereunder unless either (1) the respective DSR Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such modified or supplemented form or (2) the applicable DSR Issuing Bank shall have consented thereto.

(n) Cash Collateralization. In the event that:

(i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 7.5 on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the third Business Day, following the date on which the Borrower receive notice from the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to Section 7, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, an amount in cash equal to the sum of (A) 105% of the total Available Amounts of the Letters of Credit as of such date plus (B) any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.5, the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable in Dollars, without demand or other notice of any kind. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.8(i). Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.8(i) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Borrower, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Banks for payments in respect of Drawings for which such Issuing Banks has not been repaid and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower in respect of the applicable Letters of Credit at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 7.18), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this

Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.8(i), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.8(i) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(o) Addition, Replacement and Resignation of Issuing Banks. Any Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) may become an Issuing Bank at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender; provided that such Person shall be an Acceptable Letter of Credit Provider if it will be a DSR Issuing Bank. The Borrower may replace any Issuing Bank with a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) or other Person that agrees to issue a replacement Letter of Credit that is consented to by the Administrative Agent and becomes party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.7(b) (provided that in the case of a DSR Issuing Bank such replacement Lender, Affiliate or other Person shall be an Acceptable Letter of Credit Provider) at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and such Lender (and, if applicable, its Affiliate). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such change of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such change shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such change, (a) the Lender becoming an Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (b) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such new or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such new and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement (and any related Reimbursement Obligations), but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit; provided that at the request of the replaced Issuing Bank the Borrower shall arrange to substitute Letters of Credit issued by such replaced Issuing Bank with Letters of Credit issued by one or more of the other Issuing Banks. Notwithstanding the above, in the case of the Project Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank of such Letter of Credit must comply with the requirements of the applicable Material Project Document.

2.17 General Loan Funding Terms; Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) (i) Each Notice of Borrowing, the Notice of Term Conversion and notice of conversion of Loans shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 9.2. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, and, if applicable, the Issuing Banks, of the contents of such notices.

(ii) No later than 1:00 P.M., New York time, on a date of a requested Borrowing set forth in a timely delivered Notice of Borrowing, if the applicable conditions precedent listed in Section 3.1, Section 3.2 and Section 3.4 have been satisfied or waived, each Lender shall make available the Loans, as applicable, requested in the Notice of Borrowing in Dollars and in immediately available funds, and shall deposit such funds into the Construction Account for immediate application pursuant to the Depositary Agreement.

(iii) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.4, no later than 1:00 P.M., New York time, on the date of the requested Term Conversion set forth in a timely delivered Notice of Term Conversion, each Lender shall make available its Proportionate

Share of the Term Loans in the amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Construction Loans being Term Converted, as requested in the relevant Notice of Term Conversion, in Dollars in immediately available funds. The making of such Term Loans shall be effected by each Lender converting to a Term Loan the unpaid principal amount of its Construction Loans in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.4.

(b) Each Borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee shall be made pro rata according to the respective Proportionate Shares of such Loans, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Construction Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders. Each payment by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the LC Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such LC Loans then held by the Issuing Banks. Amounts prepaid on account of the Construction Loans and Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 10:00 A.M., New York time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (as the case may be) at its account identified in Annex 1 from time to time, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Person promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.8. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence or the definition of Interest Period, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans, on demand, from the Borrower.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon

such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.17(d), 2.17(e) or 9.8, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, provided, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the application of amounts received from the Borrower (including in respect of Debt Service, interest payments, fee payments or other obligations) to satisfy such Lender’s obligations, the receipt of payments from the Borrower will credit the obligations of the Borrower so paid.

2.18 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (at the direction or with the consent of such notifying Lenders), no further LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to LIBOR Loans.

2.19 Legal Requirements. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the Letters of Credit, any application with respect to the Letters of Credit, or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and changes in the net income tax rate, franchise tax rate or branch profits tax rate of such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or issuing or participating in the Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Legal Requirement regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) A certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19 for any amounts incurred more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.19 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented and this Section shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued or implemented.

2.20 Taxes.

(a) To the extent permitted by law, payments made by the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Taxes”). If any Taxes, excluding net income taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and branch profits taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that Loan Parties shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section, (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph, (iii) that are withholding taxes to the extent imposed as a result of the Administrative Agent or any Lender designating a different Lending Office (other than at the request of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), except to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Lender was entitled, immediately prior to the designation, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph or (iv) that are United States withholding taxes imposed under FATCA.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, and each Lender, within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.22) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Borrower will not be obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent or Lender for (A) any penalties, interest or expenses directly related to Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, but only to the extent such penalties, interest or expenses are directly and solely caused by and arise from the indemnitee’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of its obligations hereunder, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) with respect to any taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section, (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph, (iii) that are withholding taxes to the extent imposed as a result of the Administrative Agent or any Lender designating a different Lending Office (other than at the request of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), except to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Lender was entitled, immediately prior to the designation, to receive

additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph or (iv) that are United States withholding taxes imposed under FATCA. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to use reasonable efforts to give notice to the Borrower of the assertion of any claim against the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, relating to such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes reasonably promptly after the principal officer of the Administrative Agent or such Lender responsible for administering this Agreement has actual knowledge of such claim; provided that the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s failure to notify Borrower of such assertion shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 2.22(c). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by any Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Loan Party showing payment thereof, if available, or such other evidence of payment that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender. If any Loan Party fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(e) To the extent required by this paragraph (e), each Lender (or Transferee) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) either (A) if such Lender or Transferee is a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Lender”) (other than exempt holders that so certify), two copies of a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form, properly completed and duly executed by such U.S. Lender or (B) if such Lender or Transferee is not a U.S. Lender (a “Non-U.S. Lender”), two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying U.S. Internal Revenue Service forms), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit H to this Agreement and the applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender, and shall deliver extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(f) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction

is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to United States withholding Tax imposed under FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(h) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(i) The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.21 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from LIBOR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (“Breakage Costs”). Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that

would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.22 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21 or 2.22(a).

2.23 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), (b) any Lender defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, or (c) after the procedures set forth in Section 6.22 have been followed, any Lender fails to confirm to Borrower that an investor identified by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.22(b) is a Permitted Tax Equity Investor or enter into a Forbearance Agreement for any reason, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on five (5) Business Days prior written notice delivered to the applicable Lender, to replace such Lender; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Governmental Rule, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.22 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 if any LIBOR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) such replacement shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.7 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to in Section 9.7), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), as the case may be, (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender and (x) in the case of a Lender that is an Issuing Bank, the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank have expired or have been terminated unless other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank have been made in connection therewith. Any replaced Lender shall have the right to terminate at its sole discretion any Interest Rate Agreement such Lender is a party to and the Borrower shall reimburse such Lender for any costs and expenses, if any, incurred as a result thereof.

2.24 Defaulting Lender.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.1.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.8), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Construction Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Construction Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Loan Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Loan Party against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Construction Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Construction Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Construction Loans owed to all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Construction Loans of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held to be applied) pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall have no recourse to any Loan Party for the payment of such amounts, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto and the application of such payments in accordance with this Section shall not constitute an Event of Default or a Default, and no payment of principal of or interest on the Construction Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall be considered to be overdue for purposes of any Loan Document, if, had such payments been applied without regard to this Section, no such Event of Default or Default would have occurred and no such payment of principal of or interest on the Construction Loans of such Defaulting Lender would have been overdue. Notwithstanding the application of amounts received from the Borrower (including in respect of Debt Service, interest payments, fee payments or other obligations) to satisfy a Defaulting Lender’s obligations under this Section 2.24 , the receipt of payments from the Borrower will credit the obligations of the Borrower so paid.

(iii) Certain Fees. Commitment fees under Section 2.6(b) shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fees that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that

portion of outstanding Construction Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the outstanding Construction Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Share, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder in any Lender’s status from Defaulting Lender to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) Termination. Unless an Event of Default or an Additional Termination Event (as each such term is defined in the relevant Interest Rate Agreement) has occurred with respect to the relevant Counterparty, the Borrower shall not terminate any Interest Rate Agreement in whole or in part unless such termination is on a pro rata basis with respect to all relevant Interest Rate Agreements.

(d) No Waiver. The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.24 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Duration. The provisions set forth in this Section 2.24 shall only apply to the period before the Term Conversion Date.

assets as currently conducted violate) any currently applicable Legal Requirements (including any zoning, building, or Environmental Law, ordinance, code or approval or any building permit) or any restriction of record or Site Lease Agreement, or is in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, where such violation or default would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Permit described in Schedule 4.15 is either (i) a Permit in full force and effect and is not the subject of any current material legal proceeding and, if an appeal period is specified by a Governmental Rule, the appeal period has expired and no proceedings are pending seeking material modification or revocation, in the case of those Permits listed in Part I of Schedule 4.15, (ii) a Permit that has not yet been obtained or provided (or has been obtained or provided but the applicable appeal period has not expired) and has not been required for Project development activities up to the date of this Agreement and is not required to commence construction of the Project, and which the Borrower has no current actual Knowledge indicating that such Permit will not timely be obtained or provided (or applicable appeal period expire) in the ordinary course of construction or operation of the Project in the case of those Permits listed in Part II of Schedule 4.15, or (iii) a Permit of a type that is routinely granted on application and that would not normally be obtained before the commencement of construction or reconstruction or completion of construction of the Project, as applicable, as in the case of those Permits listed in Part III of Schedule 4.15. The Borrower reasonably believes that any Permit so indicated on Part II and Part III of Schedule 4.15 will be timely obtained or provided without any material expense. The Borrower is not in material violation of any Applicable Permit.

(b) To the Borrower’s Knowledge, each Material Project Participant possesses all Permits, or rights thereto necessary to perform its duties under the Operative Documents to which it is a party, other than those Applicable Permits listed in Part II and Part III of Schedule 4.15, and, to the Borrower’s Knowledge, such party is not in violation of any valid rights of others with respect to any of the foregoing.

(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.21, all necessary easements, rights of way, agreements and other rights for the construction, interconnection and utilization of the feeder lines of the Project have been acquired.

4.22 Sufficiency of Material Project Documents.

Each Loan Party is in compliance with all Material Project Documents in effect, and to the Knowledge of the Borrower, each other party to a Material Project Document in effect is in compliance with its obligations thereunder and no defaults have occurred and are continuing thereunder, except to the extent any such non-compliance or default could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.24 Disclosure. Except for projections and pro forma financial information, no statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document, certificate or statement prepared and furnished by the Borrower, Holdings or any Affiliate thereof to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to the Borrower, Holdings or any Affiliate thereof that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents. The Base Case Model is based on reasonable assumptions that are consistent with the provisions of the Material Project Documents.

4.27 Land Not in Flood Zone. The Deed of Trust does not encumber improved real property that is located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards within the meaning of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 unless flood insurance available under such Act has been obtained in accordance with Section 3.1(j)(iii).

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Borrower as at the Closing Date (including the notes thereto), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the Loans to be made hereunder and the use of proceeds thereof and (ii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing, and such pro forma balance sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the Borrower as at the Closing Date, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date. Since the respective date of each such statement, there has been no change in the business, Property, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Borrower that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.33 Security Documents. (a) The Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement are each effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock described in the Pledge Agreement, when stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Collateral Agent (together with a properly completed and signed stock power or endorsement), the Pledge Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of Holdings in such Pledged Stock and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Security Agreement, when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 4.34(a) in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.34(a), and with respect to other property that can be perfected by control, upon execution of the Depositary Agreement by each of the parties thereto, the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Borrower and Holdings in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement or Pledge Agreement, as applicable), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Permitted Liens that pursuant to applicable law are entitled to a higher priority than the Liens created by the Security Documents).

(b) The Deed of Trust is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Property described therein and proceeds thereof, and when the Deed of Trust is filed in the office specified on Schedule 4.34(b), the Deed of Trust shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Borrower in the Mortgaged Property and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Secured Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than rights arising under Permitted Liens.

4.34 Solvency. The Borrower is, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith and therewith will be and will continue to be, Solvent.

4.35 Sales Tax Exemption; Resale Certificate.

Holdings shall (a) conduct, transact or otherwise engage in, or commit to conduct, transact or otherwise engage in, any business or operations other than those incidental to its ownership of the Capital Stock of the Borrower, (b) incur, create, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness or other liabilities or financial obligations, except (i) nonconsensual obligations imposed by operation of law, (ii) obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (iii) obligations with respect to its Capital Stock, (c) own, lease, manage or otherwise operate any

properties or assets (including cash (other than cash received in connection with dividends made by the Borrower in accordance with Section 6.7) and cash equivalents) other than the ownership of shares of Capital Stock of the Borrower or (d) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property, except Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents and any tax Liens similar to those described in clause (b) of the definition of Permitted Liens.

7.11 Equity Commitment. The Equity Investor shall have failed to fund (either directly or by a draw under Acceptable Credit Support in accordance with the Equity Contribution Agreement) all or any portion of its Equity Commitment as and when required pursuant to the terms of the Equity Contribution Agreement (including Section 2.1(a) thereof) or (b) Acceptable Credit Support shall cease to be in full force and effect for any reason in an amount at least equal to the Equity Requirement in accordance with the Equity Contribution Agreement (unless such Acceptable Credit Support has been fully drawn by the Administrative Agent or the Equity Commitment is cash collateralized as contemplated by the Equity Contribution Agreement in an amount at least equal to the Equity Requirement).

7.12 Change of Control. A Change of Control shall have occurred.

7.13 Abandonment of Project. The Borrower shall have abandoned the development, construction or operation of the Project for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive days; provided that none of (A) scheduled maintenance of the Project, (B) repairs to the Project, whether or not scheduled or (C) a forced outage or scheduled outage of the Project, shall constitute abandonment or suspension of the Project, so long as Borrower is diligently attempting to end such suspension

7.14 Breach of Material Project Documents.

(a) Subject to Section 7.15, any Loan Party or any other party thereto shall breach or be in default under any material term, condition, provision, covenant, representation or warranty contained in any Material Project Document and the Required Lenders shall have determined that the effect of such breach or default could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower or the Project and such breach or default shall continue unremedied for thirty (30) days after notice from the Administrative Agent or Lenders to the Borrower; provided, however, that if (i) such breach or default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, (ii) such breach or default is susceptible of cure within ninety (90) days, (iii) such breach or default has not resulted, and could not, with the additional cure time contemplated by this proviso, be reasonably expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) such other party is proceeding with all requisite diligence and in good faith to cure such failure, then the time within which such failure may be cured shall be extended to such date, not to exceed a total of sixty (60) days after the end of the initial thirty (30) day period, as shall be necessary for such party diligently to cure such failure.

(b) A Material Project Participant has delivered to the Borrower a written notice of default pursuant to the relevant Material Project Document (or the occurrence of any default that does not require a notice to affect a termination of such Material Project Document), such default, if not cured, gives such Material Project Participant the right to terminate such Material Project Document, the cure period provided thereunder in respect of such default has expired (or there is no cure period), and such default continues unremedied.

7.15 Loss of Material Project Document. Notwithstanding Section 7.14, any Material Project Document shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect unless terminated in accordance with its terms and not as a result of a default thereunder; provided, however, that such Event of Default with respect to a Material Project Document (except for the SCE Power Purchase Agreement, the

Interconnection Agreement and the Site Lease) shall not be deemed to have occurred if such Material Project Document has been replaced within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of a Default under this Section 7.15 by a replacement Material Project Document in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders.

7.16 Loss of Collateral. Any material portion of the Borrower’s property is damaged, seized or appropriated without fair value being paid therefor such as to allow replacement of such property and to allow the Borrower, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to continue satisfying its obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Documents, in each case after giving effect to any insurance proceeds or cash contributions to the common equity of the Borrower (other than pursuant to the Equity Contribution Agreement) made to the Borrower after the Closing Date and applied to such replacement.

7.17 Term Conversion. Term Conversion shall not have occurred on or prior to the Date Certain.

7.18 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of (a) an Event of Default specified in Section 7.5 with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall become immediately due and payable and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have made a demand for cash collateral to the full extent permitted under Section 2.16(n), without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding and (b) an Event of Default with respect to any Person other than the Borrower or an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower other than the Events of Default specified in clause (a) above, either or all of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate, (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable, (iii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, cause the Collateral Agent to draw in whole or in part upon the Acceptable Credit Support, (iv) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, demand cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.16(n), (v) with the consent of the Required Lenders, and after taking action in accordance with clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, upon one (1) Business Day prior notice to the Borrower, enter into possession of the Project and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Project substantially according to the EPC Agreement or operate and maintain the Project, and all sums expended by the Administrative Agent in so doing, together with interest on such total amount at the Default Rate, shall be repaid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent upon demand and shall be secured by the Loan Documents, notwithstanding that such expenditures may, together with amounts advanced under this Agreement, exceed the amount of the total Commitments, (vi) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, shall, or cause the Collateral Agent to, apply or execute upon any amounts on deposit in any Collateral Account, any Loss Proceeds or any other moneys of the Borrower on deposit with the Agents, any Secured Party or Depositary Bank (other than moneys in the Distribution Account) in the manner provided in the UCC and other relevant statutes and decisions and interpretations thereunder with respect to cash collateral, and (vii) with the consent of the Required

Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, or cause the Collateral Agent to, draw upon or make a demand under any Security Document or any Material Project Document collaterally assigned to Collateral Agent by the Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Lenders may make disbursements or Loans to or on behalf of the Borrower to cure any Event of Default hereunder and to cure any default and render any performance required by the Borrower or Holdings under any Material Project Documents to which it is party as the Lenders in their sole discretion may consider necessary or appropriate, whether to preserve and protect the Collateral or the Lenders’ interests therein or for any other reason, and all sums so expended, together with interest on such total amount at the Default Rate (but in no event shall the rate exceed the maximum lawful rate), shall be repaid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on demand and shall be secured by the Loan Documents, notwithstanding that such expenditures may, together with amounts advanced under this Agreement, exceed the amount of the total Commitments and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to them under any of the Loan Documents at law or in equity, including judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or public or private sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents.

100

8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Agents nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any other Agent.

8.4 Reliance by Agents. Each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it 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 legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each of the Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each of the Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless such Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) in the case of the Administrative Agent, or of the Administrative Agent and Counterparties, if applicable, in the case of the Collateral Agent, as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders and Counterparties, if applicable, against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) in the case of the Administrative Agent, or of the Administrative Agent and the Counterparties, if applicable, in the case of the Collateral Agent, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and Counterparties, if applicable, and all future holders of the Loans.

8.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, Holdings or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Collateral Agent has received the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to above.

101

8.6 Non-Reliance on the Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and Counterparty expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agents hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any of their Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agents to any Lender or Counterparty. Each Lender and Counterparty represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Lender or Counterparty, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans or enter into Interest Rate Agreements, as applicable, hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Counterparty also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or Counterparty, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and Counterparties by the Agents hereunder, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or Counterparty with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Agents or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

8.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or Holdings and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or Holdings to do so), ratably according to their respective pro rata share in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (with such pro rata share calculated as such Lender’s pro rata share of the aggregate outstanding Loans), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, claims, including Environmental Claims, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder, and the resignation or removal of any Agent hereunder.

8.8 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Each of the Agents and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each of the Agents shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include such Agent in its individual capacity.

8.9 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent (i) may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower or (ii) may be removed at the

102

direction of the Required Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign or be removed as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.1 or Section 7.5 with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is thirty (30) Business Days following an Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation or the effective date of the Administrative Agent’s removal (as determined by the Required Lenders), the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit. The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Collateral Agent shall resign as Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.1 or 7.5 with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 25 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or if an Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, then the retiring Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent, which shall be a bank or trust company which (A) has an office in New York, New York, (B)(1) has a combined capital surplus of at least $500,000,000 or (2) has a combined capital surplus of at least $100,000,000 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank or trust company that has a combined capital surplus of at least $500,000,000 and (C) is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

8.10 Agents under Security Documents. Each Lender and each Counterparty hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Lenders and the Counterparties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall receive direction either from the Administrative Agent or from the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders.

8.11 Collateral Agent’s Duties.

(a) Whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any Security Document to any action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent or to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement to

103

be executed (or not to be executed) by the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion or rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral Agent shall be acting, giving, withholding, suffering, omitting, making or otherwise undertaking and exercising the same (or shall not be undertaking and exercising the same) as directed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Security Document to the contrary, the Collateral Agent will in no event be required to take any action which exposes the Collateral Agent to personal liability, which is contrary to this Agreement, the Security Documents or law or with respect to which the Collateral Agent does not receive adequate instructions or full indemnification and/or security to its satisfaction. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such action or give any such approval prior to receiving such written statements. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its permitted successors and assigns and is not intended to, and will not, entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaims under or in relation to any Security Documents, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto.

(b) The Collateral Agent is authorized, without further action or direction by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral required by this Agreement or any of the Security Documents and to release (or, if applicable, subordinate or grant non-disturbance rights in respect of) its Lien upon any Collateral (and execute such documents as are reasonably required in connection therewith) that is otherwise permitted to be transferred, sold, encumbered, released, conveyed or otherwise disposed of under the terms of this Agreement and the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on an Officer’s Certificate of any Loan Party that has been countersigned by the Administrative Agent requesting such a release, subordination or non-disturbance, certifying that such release is permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and making specific reference to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents permitting the transfer, sale, encumbrance, release, conveyance or disposition in connection with which the release, subordination or non-disturbance is being requested.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral (provided that the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the protection of any Collateral being held by it), for the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Security Document, or for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any liens securing the Obligations.

(d) Nothing herein shall require the Agents to file financing statements or continuation statements, or be responsible for maintaining the security interests purported to be created as described herein (except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document) and such responsibility shall be solely that of the Borrower.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility under any Loan Document by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Collateral Agent (including but not limited to any present or future Legal Requirement, any act of god or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

(f) In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent to incur potential liability for any Environmental Claim or arising under any Environmental Law, the Collateral

104

Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to the Borrower, the Secured Parties or any other Person for any Environmental Claims or any liability arising under any Environmental Law by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed under the Financing Documents or relating to the presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances.

8.12 Right to Realize on Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each Counterparty hereby agree that (i) no Lender or Counterparty shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Counterparty may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders or Counterparty or Counterparties in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Secured Parties shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

8.13 Other Agents. None of the Co-Documentation Agents, Syndication Agent, Interest Rate Hedge Coordination Agents or Joint Lead Arrangers shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

8.14 Financial Liability. No provision of this Agreement or any other Finance Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall require the Collateral Agent to (i) expend or risk its own funds or provide indemnities in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or power or (ii) otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability (including an advance of moneys necessary to take the action requested) is not assured to it except for such liability, if any, arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(a) For the purpose of allowing the Administrative Agent to exercise its rights and remedies provided in Article 7 following the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to complete any part or all of the Project in the name of the Borrower, and hereby empowers such attorney or attorneys, following the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, as follows:

109

(iv) To execute applications and certificates in the name of the Borrower which reasonably may be required by the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument executed by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with any or all of the Project;

(v) To prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any or all of the Project or the Collateral or any part thereof and to take such action and require such performance as such attorney reasonably deems necessary under any performance and payment bond and the Loan Documents;

(vi) To do any and every lawful act which the Borrower might do on its behalf with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or any or all of the Project and to exercise any or all of the Borrower’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Material Project Documents; and

(vii) To use any funds contained in any Collateral Account, to pay interest and principal on the Loans.

(b) This power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

9.7 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below); provided further that with respect to any assignment of Construction Loan Commitments to an affiliate of a Lender, (a) such affiliate shall have a combined capital surplus of at least $250,000,000 or (b) such affiliate’s obligations shall be fully guaranteed by such Lender or (2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

110

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below); provided further that with respect to any assignment of Construction Loan Commitments to an affiliate of a Lender, (a) such affiliate shall have a combined capital surplus of at least $250,000,000 or (b) such affiliate’s obligations will be fully guaranteed by such Lender.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the assigning Lender and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent;

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;

(D) no Lender (including any assignee of any Lender) may assign any portion of its Commitment to a new lender if such assignment would result, at the time of such transfer only, in claims made by such new lender for costs pursuant to Section 2.21 hereof in excess of those which could be made by the assigning Lender were it not to make such assignment, unless such new lender waives its right to claim such costs; and

(E) in the case of an Assignment of any DSR LC Commitment, the assignee thereof shall be an Acceptable Letter of Credit Provider.

For the purposes of this Section 9.7, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment

111

and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, and 9.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.7 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it anda register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 9.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 9.8(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters

112

of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered from under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.20(e). In no event shall the Borrower be responsible for any costs or expenses of any counsel engaged by a Participant.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without notice, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or a central bank purporting to have jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 9.7(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent, shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession; provided that the Collateral Agent shall forthwith notify the parties hereto in writing of any such event.

9.8 Adjustments; Set-off.

113

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 9.7), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

9.9 Independent Consultants. (a) The Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, in their reasonable discretion, may remove from time to time, any one or more of the Independent Consultants and appoint replacements reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Notice of any replacement Independent Consultant shall be given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Lenders and to the Independent Consultant being replaced. All reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Consultants (whether the original Independent Consultants or replacements) shall be paid by the Borrower; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall request that each such Independent Consultant provide the Borrower with its proposed scope of work and proposed budget therefor, and the Administrative Agent shall consult with the Borrower with regard to the matters contained therein.

(b) Each Independent Consultant (other than the Independent Engineer, which consultants were hired directly by the Borrower) shall be contractually obligated to the Administrative Agent to carry out the activities required of it in this Agreement and as otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent and shall be responsible solely to the Administrative Agent for these activities. The Borrower acknowledges that it shall not have any cause of action or claim against any Independent Consultant resulting from any decision made or not made, any action taken or not taken or any advice given by such

114

Independent Consultant in the due performance in good faith of its duties to the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Collateral Agent shall have the right, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in its name or in the name of any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral. In the event of such a transfer, the Collateral Agent shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter give the Pledgor notice of such transfer or registration; provided, however, that (a) failure to give such notice shall have no effect on the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder and (b) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver any such notice if the Pledgor is the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding or the delivery of such notice is otherwise prohibited by applicable law. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing any of the LLC Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

Section 2.03. Voting; Distributions.

(a) Voting Rights. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the Pledgor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its rights under this Section 2.03(a) (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver any such notice if the Pledgor is the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding, which in the case of an involuntary proceeding has not been dismissed within sixty (60) days of its filing), the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that no vote with respect to the Pledged Collateral shall be cast, right exercised or other action taken which would be inconsistent with, or result in any violation of, any provision of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and after notice thereof from the Collateral Agent to the Pledgor (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver any such notice if the Pledgor is the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding, which in the case of an involuntary proceeding has not been dismissed within sixty (60) days of its filing), all voting and other rights of the Pledgor with respect to the Pledged Collateral which the Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise shall cease, and all such rights shall be vested in the Collateral Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such rights.

(b) Distributions. Any and all distributions paid in respect of the LLC Interests shall be paid only to the extent permitted, and then strictly in accordance with, the Loan Documents. To the extent that such distributions and payments are made in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the further distribution or payment of such monies shall not give rise to any claims or causes of action on the part of any of the Secured Parties against the Borrower or the Pledgor seeking the return or disgorgement of any such distributions or other payments unless the distributions or payments involve or result from the fraud or willful misconduct of the Borrower or the Pledgor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgor to receive and retain any such distributions shall cease, and all such rights shall be vested in the Collateral Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such rights.

(c) Turnover. All distributions and other amounts which are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

J-7

(d) Authorization. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgor hereby authorizes the Borrower to (i) comply with any instructions received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from the Pledgor, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any distribution or other payments in respect of the Pledged Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent.

Section 2.04. Secured Parties Not Liable.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Pledgor shall remain liable under the Operating Agreement to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by the Pledgor thereunder.

(b) The Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof, in each case pursuant to the powers granted hereunder.

If the Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein after receipt of a written request to do so from the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders) may (but shall not be obligated to) cause performance of such agreement, and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent, including such fees and expenses of its outside counsel, incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor; provided, however, that if an Insolvency Proceeding shall have occurred with respect to the Pledgor, the written request described in this Section 2.06 shall not be required.

Section 2.07. Reasonable Care.

ARTICLE V

REMEDIES

Section 5.01. Remedies Generally.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), without notice to the Pledgor (except as required by applicable law) and at such times as the Collateral Agent in its sole judgment may determine, exercise any or all of the Pledgor’s rights in, to and under, or in any way connected to, the Pledged Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall otherwise have and may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise all of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies with respect to the Pledged Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights, powers, privileges and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a Secured Party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Pledgor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right).

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) the Collateral Agent in its discretion may require the Pledgor to, and the Pledgor shall, assemble the Pledged Collateral owned by it at such place or places, reasonably convenient to both the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor, designated in the Collateral Agent’s request; and

(ii) the Collateral Agent in its discretion may, to the fullest extent provided by law, have a court having jurisdiction appoint a receiver, which receiver shall take charge and possession of and protect, preserve and replace the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and manage and operate the same, and receive and collect all income, receipts, royalties, revenues, issues and profits therefrom (it being agreed that the Pledgor irrevocably consents and shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably consented to the appointment thereof, and upon such appointment, the Pledgor shall immediately deliver possession of such Pledged Collateral to such receiver).

Section 5.02. Sale of Pledged Collateral.

(a) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.01, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or at any of the Collateral Agent’s corporate trust offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sale 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 the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay 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. The Pledgor agrees that at least ten (10) days’ notice to the 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. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private

J-18

sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefore and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public or private sale. The Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale, if commercially reasonable, was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.

(b) The Pledgor recognizes that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may elect to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral to one or more purchasers in privately negotiated transactions in which the purchasers will be obligated to 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. The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent agree that such private sales shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent has no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay sale of any Pledged Collateral to permit the issuer thereof to register the Pledged Collateral for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act. If the Collateral Agent exercises its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral, upon written request the Pledgor shall, from time to time, furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as is necessary in order to determine the LLC Interests, any other interests in the Pledged Collateral and any other instruments included in the Pledged Collateral which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

Section 5.03. Purchase of Pledged Collateral. The Collateral Agent or any other 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 pursuant to foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise hereunder and the Collateral Agent may apply the purchase price to the payment of the Secured 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.

Section 5.04. Application of Proceeds; Deficiency. The Collateral Agent shall apply any proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale with respect to the Pledged Collateral to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the following order:

First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Agents under the Loan Documents, pro rata among the Agents according to the amount of the unpaid fees and expenses then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Agents;

Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Secured Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;

Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of the Secured Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Secured Obligations then held by the Secured Parties; and

J-19

Fourth, any balance remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Borrower and the Pledgor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of proceeds of the Pledged Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Borrower Obligations or Pledgor Obligations, respectively, in accordance with the Loan Documents.

Section 5.05. Notice. The Collateral Agent shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter give the Pledgor notice of any action taken under this Article V; provided, however, that (a) failure to give such notice shall have no effect on the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder and (b) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver any such notice if the Pledgor is the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding or if the delivery of such notice is otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

Section 5.06. Enforcement Expenses. The Pledgor agrees to pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party for all its fees and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented legal fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party, as applicable, in connection with the enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 6.01. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 5.05), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 6.02. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including any modifications of, or waivers or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing in the manner set out in Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise so changed in accordance with the Credit Agreement by the respective parties hereto, all notices, requests and other communications to each party hereto shall be sent to the address of such party set forth in Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.05. Survival; Reliance.

Section 6.17. Reinstatement. This Agreement and the Liens created hereunder shall automatically be reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Pledgor or the Borrower in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party, whether as a result of any Insolvency Proceeding or reorganization or otherwise, and the Pledgor shall indemnify the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party and their respective employees, officers and agents on demand for all reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Collateral Agent, such other Secured Party or its respective employees, officers or agents in connection with such reinstatement, rescission or restoration.

Section 6.20. Independent Security. The security provided for in this Agreement shall be in addition to and shall be independent of every other security which the Secured Parties may at any time hold for any of the Secured Obligations hereby secured, whether or not under the Loan Documents.

The Collateral Agent shall be at liberty to accept further security from the Pledgor or from any third party and/or release such security without notifying the Pledgor and

J-23

without affecting in any way the obligations of the Pledgor or the Borrower under the other Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount shall be paid to the Pledgor on account of such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration or contribution rights at any time, such amount shall be held by the Pledgor in trust for the Collateral Agent segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and shall be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by the Pledgor (duly endorsed by the Pledgor to the Collateral Agent if required) to be applied against the Secured Obligations in such amounts and in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect.

Section 6.23. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Pledgor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Collateral Agent for all its fees, costs and expenses incurred in collecting against the Pledgor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Pledgor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Collateral Agent.

(b) The Pledgor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The Pledgor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section 6.23 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent.

Section 6.24. Acknowledgements. The Pledgor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

J-24

(b) neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Pledgor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Pledgor, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Pledgor and the Secured Parties.

Section 6.25. Patriot Act Documentation. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act and other similar laws and regulations in any other applicable jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Collateral Agent.

K-10

(e) upon request of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the assets and properties of the Borrower and such other reports in connection therewith that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

Section 4.02 Intellectual Property. Whenever the Borrower, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, and the loss of such Intellectual Property could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower shall report such filing to the Collateral Agent within thirty (30) Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. At the request of the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders), the Borrower shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of the Borrower relating thereto or represented thereby.

Section 4.03 Commercial Tort Claims. If the Borrower shall obtain an interest in any Commercial Tort Claim with a potential value in excess of $100,000, the Borrower shall within thirty (30) days of obtaining such interest sign and deliver documentation acceptable to the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) granting a security interest under the terms and provisions of this Agreement in and to such Commercial Tort Claim.

Section 4.04 Other Financing Statements and Liens. Except with respect to Liens permitted under Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders), the Borrower shall not file or authorize to be filed in any jurisdiction, any effective Financing Statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent is not named as the sole secured party for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(b) Assigned Agreements.

(i) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) at any time after the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall notify the parties to any Assigned Agreement that is not subject to a Consent or a consent to collateral assignment entered into pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement that such Assigned Agreement has been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent.

K-11

(ii) In the event of a default by the Borrower in the performance of any of its obligations under any Assigned Agreement, or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition under any such Assigned Agreement which would immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, enable another party of such Assigned Agreement to terminate or suspend its performance under such Assigned Agreement, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) may (but shall not be obligated to), with prior written notice to the Borrower (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver any such notice if the Borrower is the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding or if the delivery of such notice is otherwise prohibited by applicable law), cause the performance of such obligations (to the extent contemplated by the applicable Consent or consent referred to above, if any), and the reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of outside counsel) of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by or on behalf of the Borrower.

(i) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 4.10 at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies (for the avoidance of doubt, only during the continuation of an Event of Default), and for no other purpose, the Borrower hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive world-wide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Borrower) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents that limit the rights of the Borrower to dispose of its property, so long as no instruction by the Required Lenders has been delivered in connection with an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower will be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the business of the Borrower. In furtherance of the foregoing, so long as no instruction by the Required Lenders has been delivered in connection with an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, that the Borrower shall have certified are appropriate (in its judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above. Further, upon the release of the Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.17, the Collateral Agent shall transfer to the Borrower the license granted pursuant to clause (i) immediately above. The exercise of rights and remedies under Section 4.10 by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by the Borrower in accordance with the first sentence of this clause (ii).

(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall, upon the request of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent), deliver to the Collateral Agent a schedule listing all then existing Intellectual Property and take such other action as the Collateral Agent shall deem necessary to perfect the Liens created hereunder in all such Collateral.

Section 4.07 Custody and Preservation.

(a) Subject to applicable law, the Collateral Agent’s obligation to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral shall be satisfied if it uses the same care as it uses in the custody and preservation of its own property.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for (i) the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral, (ii) the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on any of the Collateral, whether impaired by the operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, (iii) the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, (iv) the validity of the title of the Borrower to the Collateral, (v) insuring the Collateral, (vi) the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or (vii) any other maintenance of the Collateral.

After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders) may, but shall not be obligated to, do or cause to be done any other thing that is necessary or desirable to preserve, protect or maintain the Collateral. The Borrower shall promptly reimburse the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for any reasonable and documented fee, payment or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) that the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09.

Section 4.09 Remedies Generally.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) the Borrower shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, assemble movable Collateral owned by it (and not otherwise in the possession of the Collateral Agent), if any, at such place or places, reasonably convenient to both the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, designated in such request;

(ii) the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Secured Parties) may (but shall not be obligated to), without notice to the Borrower (except as required by applicable law) and at such times as the Collateral Agent in its sole judgment may determine, exercise any or all of the Borrower’s rights in, to and under, or in any way connected to, the Collateral (including the performance of the Borrower’s obligations, and the exercise of the Borrower’s rights and remedies, under the Assigned Agreements), and the Collateral Agent shall otherwise have and may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise all of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights, powers, privileges and remedies

K-13

are asserted) and such additional rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws or equity in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Borrower agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);

(iii) the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make any reasonable compromise or settlement it deems desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may (but shall not be obligated to) extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms, of all or any part of the Collateral;

(iv) the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in its name or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral;

(v) the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or places as the Required Secured Parties deem reasonable, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived). If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Borrower, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned; and

(vi) the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), to the full extent provided by law, have a court having jurisdiction appoint a receiver, which receiver shall take charge and possession of and protect, preserve and replace the Collateral or any part thereof, and manage and operate the same, and receive and collect all income, receipts, royalties, revenues, issues and profits therefrom (it being agreed that the Borrower irrevocably consents and shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably consented to the appointment thereof, and upon such appointment, it shall immediately deliver possession of such Collateral to such receiver).

(b) The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Agreement shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.14.

(c) The Borrower recognizes that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may elect to sell all or any part of the Collateral to one or more purchasers in privately negotiated transactions in which the purchasers will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Borrower acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices

K-14

and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and the Borrower and the Collateral Agent agree that such private sales shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent has no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay sale of any Collateral to permit the issuer thereof to register the Collateral for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act. If the Secured Parties exercise their right to sell any or all of the Collateral, upon written request the Borrower shall, from time to time, furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as is necessary in order to determine the Collateral and any other instruments included in the Collateral which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter give the Borrower notice of any action taken under this Section 4.10; provided, however, that (i) failure to give such notice shall have no effect on the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver any such notice if the Borrower is the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding or if the delivery of such notice is otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

Section 4.10 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under Section 4.10 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall retain all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, and the Borrower shall remain liable, with respect to any deficiency to the extent the Borrower is obligated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 4.11 Change of Name or Location. Without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall not change its organizational name from the name shown on the signature pages hereto or its jurisdiction of formation from the State of Delaware.

The proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Collateral Agent under this Article IV with respect to the Collateral, shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder and shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the following order:

K-15

(ii) Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Secured Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;

(iii) Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of the Secured Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Secured Obligations then held by the Secured Parties; and

(iv) Fourth, any balance remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

(b) Company Remains Obligated. No sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.10 shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower of its obligations under any Loan Document except to the extent the proceeds thereof are applied to the payment of such obligations.

(c) Purchase of Collateral. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be a purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof or any right or interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise hereunder and the Collateral Agent may apply the purchase price to the payment of the applicable Secured Obligations.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Borrower, without notice to or assent by the Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (or as otherwise provided in Section 4.07 or 5.01) to:

(ix) commence and prosecute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect any Collateral and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral,

(x) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Borrower with respect to any Collateral,

(xi) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate,

(xii) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark pertains) throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine, including the execution and filing of any document necessary to effectuate or record such assignment,

(xiii) cure any default by the Borrower under any Assigned Agreement, and

(xiv) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and the

Borrower’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Borrower might do.

(b) The Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof, in each case pursuant to the powers granted hereunder.

Section 4.15 Perfection. Without relieving it of its obligations under Section 4.01 or otherwise under the Loan Documents, the Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to file (but the Administrative Agent shall not be so obligated to file) such Financing Statements in such offices as are or shall be necessary or appropriate to create, perfect and establish the priority of the Liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral, to preserve the validity, perfection or priority of the Liens granted by this Agreement in any and all of the Collateral or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise its remedies, rights, powers and privileges under this Agreement. Such Financing Statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes the Collateral in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, as directed by the Administrative Agent, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interests in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, including describing such property as “all assets whether now owned or hereafter acquired”, “all assets of the Debtor” or “all personal property whether now owned or hereafter acquired”. Copies of any such Financing Statement or amendment thereto shall promptly be delivered to the Borrower.

The Collateral Agent shall also (at the written request and sole cost and expense of the Borrower) promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower upon such termination such UCC termination statements and such other documentation and take such other action as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower to effect the termination and release, including the execution of a customary pay-off letter, of the Liens on the Collateral.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 5.01 Collateral Agent’s Right to Perform on Borrower’s Behalf. If the Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements to be observed or performed by it under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the

K-18

Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders) may (but shall not be obligated to), upon reasonable notice to the Borrower, cause such terms, conditions, covenants and agreements to be done or performed or observed by experts, agents or attorneys, with reasonable care at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name and on behalf of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent so to do.

Section 5.02 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Secured Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Secured Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Collateral Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

Section 5.03 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 5.05), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 5.04 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or the Borrower hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon the Borrower shall be addressed to the Borrower at its notice address set forth on Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the

K-19

Collateral Agent, shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession; provided that the Collateral Agent shall forthwith notify the parties hereto in writing in reasonable advance of any such event.

Section 5.07 Survival; Reliance. The representations and warranties of the Borrower set out in this Agreement or contained in any documents delivered to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties in entering into the Loan Documents and extending the credit or otherwise performing the transactions thereunder, notwithstanding any investigation on their respective parts.

Section 5.10 Agents, Etc. The Collateral Agent may employ agents, experts and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, experts or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 5.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the 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.

Section 5.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or .pdf), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
