Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(bb), which only lists assets comprising spare parts, inventory and other ancillary equipment that is not immediately necessary for the operation of the Project at a steady state in a manner allowing compliance with all Material Contracts, as of the Closing Date, the assets of the Company, whether real, personal, tangible or intangible and whether leased, owned or licensed, comprising the Project constitute all of the assets required for or used in the operation of the Project as presently operated or proposed to be operated and no other assets are required or necessary in the operation of the Project in the Ordinary Course of Business; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall constitute any representation or warranty regarding the sufficiency or adequacy of the geothermal resources available to the Project.

(cc) Accuracy of Information Furnished. Seller collected and, with respect to the documents prepared by Seller, prepared the written materials contained in the virtual data room and Seller's written responses to due diligence inquiries, as set forth in Schedule 3.1(cc) (collectively, and in each case, solely as such written materials and written responses pertain solely to the Company, the "Background Materials") in good faith. The Background Materials were provided to the Purchaser by the Seller in good faith. Without limiting the effectiveness of any qualification contained in any other representation or warranty in this Section 3.1, Seller has provided all documents in Seller's possession containing material information (exclusive of documents that contain information duplicative of information contained or incorporated in any other Background Materials) relating to the Company and the Project and the Background Materials do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact concerning the Company or the Project and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller has not intentionally omitted any material fact or document from the Background Materials with the purpose of causing the Background Materials, when taken in their entirety, to be misleading. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.1(cc), no representation or warranty is made with respect to any Background Materials that are in the nature of projections other than that they were prepared in good faith and on the basis of assumptions that were considered reasonable in all material respects by Seller at the time made. The copies of the documents listed on Schedule 3.1(cc) that are contained in the data room are true and complete copies thereof.

(dd) Intellectual Property. The Company, through rights granted by Seller and its Affiliates or otherwise, possesses all rights necessary to lawfully use all patents, trademarks, licenses, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, and other proprietary, or intellectual property rights that are necessary for the operation of the Project and the Company's business in the Ordinary Course of Business. To the Knowledge of Seller, the operation of the Project and the businesses as conducted by the Company does not infringe on any patent, trademark, license, service mark, trade name, trade secret, obligation of confidence or other proprietary, or intellectual property right of any Person.

(ee) Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since the date of the Balance Sheet, there have not occurred any events or circumstances that individually or in the aggregate, have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ff) Restricted Payments. The Company has not made any Restricted Payments.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

(a) Organization, Good Standing, Etc. Purchaser is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, and has the limited liability company organizational power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as being conducted on the date hereof.

(b) Authority. Purchaser has the limited liability company organizational power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. All actions or proceedings required to be taken by or on the part of the Purchaser to authorize and permit the due execution and valid delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the instruments required to be duly executed and validly delivered by Purchaser pursuant hereto and thereto, the performance by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, have been duly and properly taken. This Agreement has been duly executed and validly delivered by Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable in all material respects against Purchaser in accordance with its terms and conditions except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies generally and general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Purchaser is a party do not, and the performance by Purchaser of Purchaser's obligations hereunder and thereunder will not, (i) violate any Applicable Law, (ii) conflict with or cause a breach of any provision of its Organizational Documents or (iii) cause a breach of, constitute a default under, cause the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, or require any authorization, consent, waiver or approval under any contract, license, instrument, decree, judgment or other arrangement to which Purchaser is a party or under which it is bound or to which any of its assets are subject (or result in the imposition of a Lien upon any such assets), except (in the case of this clause (iii)) for any that could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on Purchaser's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Absence of Litigation.

(i) Purchaser has not received written notification of any actions or proceedings that have been instituted or threatened in writing by any Governmental Authority or Person against the Purchaser that seeks to impair, restrain, prohibit or invalidate the transactions contemplated herein or in any Transaction Document.

(ii) Purchaser (x) is not subject to any pending or outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling or charge, (y) is not subject to any pending action, suit, proceeding, hearing or investigation of, in, or before any Governmental Authority or before any arbitrator, and (z) to Purchaser's knowledge, is not threatened with being made a party to any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or investigation of, in, or before any Governmental Authority or before any arbitrator.

(e) Accredited Investor; Information; Investment Intent. Purchaser is an "Accredited Investor" as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Purchaser has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Seller concerning Seller, the Purchased Membership Interests and the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of Purchaser. Purchaser understands that the Purchased Membership Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance on an exemption therefrom, and that the Purchased Membership Interests must be held indefinitely unless the sale thereof is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available thereunder, and that Seller is under no obligation to register the Purchased Membership Interests. Purchaser shall not sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer the Purchased Membership Interests without registering or qualifying them under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless the transfer is exempted from registration or qualification under such laws. Purchaser is purchasing the Purchased Membership Interests for its own account and not for the account of any other Person and not with a view to distribution to others.

(f) Information and Investment Intent. Purchaser recognizes that investment in the Purchased Membership Interests involves substantial risks. Purchaser acknowledges that any financial projections that may have been provided to it are based on assumptions of future operating results developed by Seller and Seller's advisers and, therefore, represent an estimate of future results based on assumptions about certain events (many of which are beyond the control of Seller and the Company). Purchaser understands that no assurances or representations can be given that the actual results of the operations of the Company will conform to the projected results for any period. Purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of its investment and is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Purchased Membership Interests for an indefinite period (including total loss of its investment). Purchaser has relied solely on its own legal, tax and financial advisers for its evaluation of an investment in the Purchased Membership Interests and not on the advice of the Seller or the Company or any of their respective legal, tax or financial advisers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph (f) shall relieve Seller or any of its affiliates of any obligations expressly imposed upon them hereunder or reduce the rights expressly granted hereunder to Purchaser and its affiliates in respect of the express representations, warranties and covenants or other agreements of Seller or its affiliates to the extent contained herein.

(g) Public Utility Holding Company. Purchaser is not a "holding company" within the meaning of PUHCA.

3.3 No Other Seller Representations. Except with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller and the Company in the Transaction Documents, none of Seller or the Company has made any representation or warranty, either express or implied, nor has the Purchaser relied on any representation or warranty not expressly made herein or in any other Transaction Document. The Purchaser specifically acknowledges that, except as stated in Section 3.1 and any representations and warranties made in any other Transaction Document, no representation or warranty has been made and that the Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty about the accuracy of any projections, estimates or budgets, future revenues, future results from operations, future cash flows, the future condition of the Project or any assets of the Company, or the future financial condition of the Company.

Article 4
CERTAIN OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

4.1 Regulatory Matters. Promptly after the effective time of the Closing, to the extent required by Applicable Law, Seller shall file or cause to be filed with FERC a notice of self re-certification as a Qualifying Facility with respect to the Project.

4.2 Transfer Taxes. The Seller on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, shall bear in equal portions and pay all sales, use, transfer, recording, gains, stock transfer and other similar taxes and fees if any, arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

4.3 Further Action. From time to time, as and when requested by any Party, the Seller and Purchaser will each execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all such commercially reasonable actions, as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

4.4 [Reserved].

4.5 Contribution of Membership Interests. Immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser will jointly contribute the Membership Interests each respectively holds in the Company, which combine to equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Membership Interests in the Company, to ORPD pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The contribution of Purchaser's interest shall include an assignment to ORPD of all of Purchaser's rights and interests under this Agreement, including all representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities of Seller hereunder. Seller hereby consents to such assignment by Purchaser of Purchaser's rights and interests hereunder and agrees that, upon such assignment, all representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities made or given to Purchaser shall be deemed made and given to ORPD, as to the entire Membership Interest being assigned to it.

Article 5
INDEMNIFICATION

5.1 Indemnification. (a) Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Purchaser Indemnified Costs; provided, however, that except with respect to Purchaser Indemnified Costs resulting from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to pay any amount due to Purchaser Indemnified Parties under any Transaction Document, in no event shall Seller's aggregate obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed 25% of the Purchase Price (provided, however, that (i) the 25% limitation above shall be 100% in respect of a breach of Seller's representations in Section 3.1(a), Section 3.1(b), Section 3.1(e), Section 3.1(f), Section 3.1(g) and Section 3.1(x) and (ii) there shall be no cap with respect to any Third Party Claim or any claim based on fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct). Without regard to any of the foregoing limitations or the requirements of Section 5.1(c), Seller also agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, Taxes, penalties, costs, and reasonable expenses (including court cost and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of one law firm) incurred by the Company as a result of the imposition of any liability for the Taxes of any other Person under Treasury Regulations 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state or local law) as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise ("Treas. Reg. 1.1502-6 Liability").

(b) Purchaser agrees severally to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Seller Indemnified Costs; provided, however, that except with respect to Seller Indemnified Costs resulting from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to pay any amount due to Seller Indemnified Parties under any Transaction Document, in no event shall Purchaser's aggregate obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed 25% of the sum of the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser as of the date such indemnification obligation arises (provided, however, that the 25% limitation above shall be 100% in respect of a breach of Purchaser's representations in Section 3.2(a), Section 3.2(b), Section 3.2(c)(ii) and Section 3.2(e)).

(c) No claim for indemnification may be made with respect to any breach (other than failure to pay an amount due) unless and until the aggregate amount of claims for which indemnification is (or previously has been) sought exceeds $1 million; provided that once such threshold amount of claims has been reached, the relevant Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified for all such claims, including amounts that were not previously paid because such threshold amount had not been reached.

5.2 Direct Claims. In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under Section 5.1 that is not subject to Section 5.3 because no Third Party Claim is involved, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such direct claim, of any amounts which such Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms of this Article 5. The failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim, except to the extent the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.

5.3 Third Party Claims. An Indemnified Party shall give written notice to any Indemnifying Party within 30 days after it has actual knowledge of commencement or assertion of any action, proceeding, demand, or claim by a third party (collectively, a "Third Party Claim") in respect of which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under Section 5.1. Such notice shall state the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim and the events and the amounts thereof to the extent known. Any failure to notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article 5, except to the extent the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices such Indemnifying Party. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party, so long as (a) the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party that it is liable to the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 5.3, (b) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between it and the Indemnifying Party does not exist in respect of such Third Party Claim and (c) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party such Third Party Claim does not entail a material risk of criminal penalties or civil fines or non-monetary sanctions being imposed on the Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Penalty Claim") (the forgoing conditions being referred to as the "Control Conditions"), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than as expressly provided below in this Section 5.3; provided, that nothing contained herein shall permit Seller to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser, or permit Purchaser to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving Seller or any Affiliate of Seller other than the Company. In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party advises an Indemnified Party that it will not contest a claim for indemnification hereunder, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails, within 30 days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such Indemnified Party of its election, to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any such Third Party Claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense) or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interest between it and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such Third Party Claim or the action or claim is a Third Party Penalty Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim or Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for and shall reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the Indemnified Party's reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding. In any event, unless and until the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the Indemnified Party's reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. If any of the Control Conditions is not satisfied or becomes unsatisfied, (x) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, such Third Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (y) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the reasonable costs of defending against such Third Party Claim (including reasonable consultant, attorney and expert witness fees, disbursements and expenses), and (z) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by such Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 5. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof which imposes any criminal liability or civil fine or sanction or equitable remedy on the Indemnified Party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party, a release from all liability in respect of such claim.

5.4 After-Tax Basis. Each Party will treat all amounts paid under any of the provisions of this Article 5 as an adjustment to the purchase price for the Purchased Membership Interests (or otherwise as a non-taxable reimbursement, contribution or return of capital, as the case may be), unless a payment is includable as income of the Indemnified Party as determined by agreement of the Parties or, if there is no agreement, by an opinion of a nationally-recognized tax counsel selected jointly by the Parties that such amount is "more likely than not" includable as income of the recipient, in which case the payment will be increased by dividing the payment by one minus the maximum federal corporate income tax rate in effect at time of payment (currently 35%). Any payment made under this Article 5 shall be reduced by the present value (using an 8% discount rate and the same assumptions about taxability and tax rates) of any federal income tax benefit to be realized by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates by reason of the facts and circumstances giving rise to such indemnification.

5.5 No Duplication. Any liability of an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party for indemnification under this Article 5 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by such Indemnified Party from such Indemnifying Party. Without limiting the generality of the prior sentence, if a statement of facts, condition or event constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is subject to the indemnification obligation in Section 5.1, only one recovery of Purchaser Indemnified Costs or Seller Indemnified Costs, as applicable, shall be allowed.

5.6 Sole Remedy. The remedies of the Parties under this Article 5 are the sole and exclusive remedies that a Party may have under this Agreement for the recovery of monetary damages with respect to any breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement other than for Purchaser Indemnified Costs or Seller Indemnified Costs, as the case may be, arising from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5.7 Survival. All representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive until the final date for any assertion of claims as set forth in Section 5.8.

5.8 Final Date for Assertion of Indemnity Claims.

(a) All claims by a Purchaser Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article 5 resulting from breaches of representations or warranties shall be forever barred unless Seller is notified on or prior to the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, except that (i) claims by a Purchaser Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article 5 resulting from any Treas. Reg. 1.1502-6 Liability and any breaches of representations and warranties made in Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(e), and 3.1(f) shall survive indefinitely, (ii) claims by a Purchaser Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article 5 resulting from breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(g) or 3.1(s) shall survive for 30 days after the applicable statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of such Taxes attributable to Company items, and (iii) claims by a Purchaser Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article 5 resulting from breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(j) shall survive until the date that is 3 years after the Closing Date; provided that if written notice of a claim for indemnification has been given by such Purchaser Indemnified Party on or prior to any such date, then the obligation of the Seller to indemnify such Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 5 shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved.

(b) All claims by a Seller Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article 5 resulting from breaches of representations or warranties shall be forever barred unless Purchaser is notified on or prior to the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date; except that claims by a Seller Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article 5 resulting from any breaches of representations and warranties made in Sections 3.2(b), Section 3.2(c)(ii) and Section 3.2(e) shall survive indefinitely, provided that if written notice of a claim for indemnification has been given by such Seller Indemnified Party on or prior to such date, then the obligation of the Purchaser to indemnify such Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 5 shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved.

5.9 Mitigation and Limitations on Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(a) Reasonable Steps to Mitigate. Each of the Indemnified Parties will take, at the Indemnifying Party's cost and expense, all reasonable commercial steps identified by the Indemnifying Party to mitigate its Purchaser Indemnified Costs or Seller Indemnified Costs, as the case may be, which steps may include availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity. Such Indemnified Party will provide such evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of its Purchaser Indemnified Costs or Seller Indemnified Costs, as the case may be, as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Net of Insurance Benefits. The amount of Purchaser Indemnified Costs and Seller Indemnified Costs recoverable hereunder shall be net of insurance recoveries actually received by the applicable Indemnified Party from insurance policies of the Company (including under the existing title policies).

(c) No Consequential Damages. Except to the extent awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment in connection with a Third Party Claim, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, neither Purchaser Indemnified Costs nor Seller Indemnified Costs shall include, and the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Parties for or in respect of any punitive, consequential or exemplary damages of any nature, including damages for lost profits.

5.10 Payment of Indemnification Claims. All claims for indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party in immediately available funds in United States dollars. Payments for indemnification claims shall be made promptly after any final determination of the amount of such claim is made by a court of competent jurisdiction (or by agreement of the Parties involved).

5.11 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.

5.12 Third Party Beneficiary. The Parties acknowledge and agree that upon the effectiveness of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, ORPD is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement with respect to the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions herein and shall have the right to enforce all of Seller's indemnification obligations hereunder directly against Seller as to the entire Membership Interest assigned to ORPD pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.
