(b) Raser recognizes and consents to the fact that Merrill Lynch (i) does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or such other information and (ii) has no obligation to undertake an independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of any parts of the Information provided by Raser.

Raser and its affiliates hereby agree that (A) they will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Information and Projections that may be distributed to the Public Purchasers and include a reasonably detailed term sheet in such Information and Projections and that all of the foregoing that is to be made available to Public Purchasers shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC”; (B) by marking materials “PUBLIC,” they shall be deemed to have authorized Merrill Lynch and the proposed Purchasers to treat such materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Raser, Project Company and their respective affiliates for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws, it being understood that certain of such materials may be subject to the confidentiality requirements of the definitive credit documentation; (C) all materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available in such electronic data site designated for “Public Purchasers;” and (D) Merrill Lynch shall be required to treat any materials that are not marked

9. Indemnity

(a) Project Company and Raser agree to indemnify and hold harmless Merrill Lynch, each other Receiving Purchaser and their respective affiliates, and each such person’s respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons (Merrill Lynch and each such other person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all direct losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities, joint or several, arising or resulting from any pending or threatened claim, action, proceeding or investigation brought by any person, including any shareholder derivative action brought on behalf of Raser or its affiliates (but excluding any claim, action, proceeding or investigation brought directly by Raser or any of its affiliates) or governmental body against the Indemnified Party related to or arising out of or in connection with this Project Commitment, the Senior Secured Financing, the loans thereunder and the use of proceeds therefrom, the Project Transaction, the performance by any Indemnified Party of the services contemplated hereby or such Indemnified Party’s obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, and Raser will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of or preparation for or defense of any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation, whether or not the Project Transaction is consummated, or the Project Commitment is terminated; provided, however, that Raser shall not indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnified Parties with respect to loss of, or allocation of, any tax attributes related to the Tax Equity Transaction, including without limitation depreciation, amortization and production tax credits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Raser’s and Project Company’s obligations under this Paragraph 9 shall not apply to losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities to the extent determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to relate to or arise out of or in connection with the Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent that Raser and/or Project Company make any payments hereunder to any Indemnified Party in respect of losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities that are subsequently determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to relate to or arise out of or in connection with the Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, Merrill Lynch will promptly pay over and return such amounts to Raser and/or Project Company, as the case may be. Raser, Project Company and Merrill Lynch also agree that no party hereto, whether under this Paragraph 9 or otherwise, will have any liability to any other party hereto or to an Indemnified Party for, and no party hereto or Indemnified Party will or will be entitled to assert any claim against another party hereto for, special, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages on any theory of liability in connection in any way with this Project Commitment, the Senior Secured Financing, the loans thereunder or the use of proceeds therefrom, the Project Transaction or any related transaction or the performance by any party of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Project Commitment, no party hereto (in such capacity, the “First Party”) shall be liable to any other

party hereto for any damages arising from the use by third parties of information or other materials of such other party obtained through electronic data site postings, except to the extent such information or other materials were obtained as a result of the First Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) With respect to any indemnification involving the Project Transaction, if the indemnification of an Indemnified Party hereunder is for any reason unavailable to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 9(a), then Raser and Project Company agree to contribute, on a joint and several basis, to the aggregate amount of any such losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities subject to indemnification under Paragraph 9(a), as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Raser and/or Project Company, on the one hand, and Merrill Lynch and any other Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, from the Project Transaction (whether or not the Project Transaction is consummated), and also the relative fault of Raser and Project Company, on the one hand, and Merrill Lynch and any other Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, in connection with such losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(c) Raser and Project Company agree that, without Merrill Lynch’s prior written consent, none of Raser, Project Company or any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries will settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, proceeding or investigation that is subject to indemnification pursuant to Paragraph 9(a)

(“Proceeding”), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes a full and unconditional written release in form and substance satisfactory to the applicable Indemnified Parties of each such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, proceeding or investigation together with any other claim, action, proceeding or investigation involving the same parties to the Proceeding that arise out of the same facts and circumstances underlying the Proceeding being settled and (ii) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party.

(d) The indemnity provided for herein shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding expiration or termination of the Project Commitment ; provided that the indemnity provided for herein shall terminate upon the execution of the documents evidencing the Project Transaction and shall be superseded in its entirety by any indemnity provisions provided for therein.

10. Confidentiality; Publicity

Lenders under the Financing will have a broad ability to assign the commitments, loans and exposure.

“Required Lenders” shall be lenders holding 51% of the principal amount of the Financing commitment.

V.	ACCOUNT WATERFALL PROVISIONS
Account Waterfall		The Financing will have an account waterfall structure that is consistent
Provisions		with transactions of this nature. Such waterfall will include construction,
		loss proceeds, revenue, O&M, maintenance reserve, debt service, debt
		service reserve, and suspension accounts (but there will not be a
		construction reserve account). Construction costs will be reimbursed
		through monthly requisitions submitted by the Company to the Agent,
		which requisitions: (1) shall be consistent with the construction budget
		and schedule; (2) shall be approved by the Independent Engineer; and (3)
		shall contain supporting detail and documentation and evidence of
		mechanics’ lien releases. The parties will discuss allowing disbursements
		in respect of construction costs more frequently than monthly and up front
		payment of certain scheduled external costs. Up to $[·] million of the
		commitment under the Financing will be available to pay the costs of
		change orders under the EPC Contract, to the extent approved by the
		Independent Engineer and the Required Lenders (“Approved Change
		Order Costs”).
		After COD has been appropriately certified by the Independent Engineer,
		the Senior Secured Lenders will fund the debt service and maintenance
		reserve accounts in an amount equal to the Reserve Target, less the
		Approved Change Order Costs. Until such time as: (i) the aggregate
		balance on deposit in the debt service reserve and maintenance reserve
		accounts (the “Aggregate Balance”) equals the Reserve Target; and (ii)
		the balance on deposits in the debt service reserve account equals or
		exceeds the maximum historic and projected debt service payments over a
		prospective six (6) month period (the “Minimum Debt Service Reserve”),
		there shall be a “COD Cash Trap Period” in effect. During the COD Cash
		Trap Period (and so long as no event of default or Ordinary Cash Trap
		Period (as defined below) is in effect), the percentage of Project revenues
		remaining after payment of O&M costs and debt service shall be funded
		into the debt service reserve account [[until the debt service reserve
		account’s balance equals the greater of fifty percent (50%) of the Reserve
		Target and the Minimum Debt Service Reserve, and then into
		maintenance reserve account until the Aggregate Balance equals the
		Reserve Target,] as follows: (1) twenty percent (20%) while the
		Aggregate Balance is greater than 80% of the then-applicable Reserve
		Target but less than 100% of the then-applicable Reserve Target; (2) sixty
		percent (60%) while the Aggregate Balance is greater than 60% of the
		then-applicable Reserve Target but less than or equal to 80% of the then-
		applicable Reserve Target; and (3) one-hundred percent (100%) while the
		Aggregate Balance is less than or equal to 60% of the then-applicable
		Reserve Target.]
		For purposes hereof, the “Reserve Target” initially means $6 million but
		shall be reduced as agreed upon by the parties. The Minimum Debt
		Service Reserve may be replaced with an LC satisfactory to the Required
		Lenders (it being understood that if an Ordinary Cash Trap Period is then
		in effect or an Event of Default is outstanding, the Reserve Target shall

	equal the sum of the Reserve Target, as defined herein, and the amount of
	cash available to be trapped).
	The Reserve Target shall be reduced as described in the above paragraph
	upon satisfaction of specific conditions, which shall include: (I) the
	absence of any Ordinary Cash Trap Period, (II) COD having occurred
	before the Guaranteed COD, (III) the absence of any defaults, payment of
	all Project O&M costs and funding of all reserve accounts, and (IV) Final
	Completion having occurred.
	If certain historic and projected debt service coverage ratio levels (each
	measured quarterly on a rolling twelve month basis) and historical project
	capacity factor (i.e., availability) (measured quarterly on a rolling three
	and twelve month basis) levels are not met, the waterfall will limit
	distributions and require cash to be trapped until the debt service coverage
	ratios and availability factors have been restored to specified levels for a
	period of time to be determined (such period of time to be determined, an
	“Ordinary Cash Trap Period”). The definitive documentation shall
	specify how cash trapped during an Ordinary Cash Trap Period shall be
	applied.
	Unused loss proceeds (other than business interruption insurance) will be
	required to be applied to pay down the Financing. The waterfall also will
	give the Agent and Required Lenders control over all accounts during any
	defaults.
	Distributions will be allowed only on a quarterly basis, commencing no
	earlier than one full quarter of performance after COD has been completed
	and only if specific conditions are met, including no defaults, payment of
	all Project O&M costs and funding of all reserve accounts (subject to the
	limitation on reserve funding described in the second paragraph of this
	Section entitled “Account Waterfall Provisions”) and payment of all cash
	trap amounts to be required to be made during COD Cash Trap Periods or
	Ordinary Cash Trap Periods (including the making of any required
	prepayments of the Financing in respect thereof). License and other fees
	payable to Raser under Project contracts (other than Raser's O&M fee
	which will be paid on the same level as external O&M costs) must be paid
	after funding of all external O&M costs, payment of debt service and
	funding of all reserve accounts, and as per the Account Waterfall
	Provisions.
Debt Service Coverage	Target debt service coverage ratio is to be determined by the parties
Ratios	consistent with the pro forma cash flow projections delivered to Merrill
	Lynch at closing.
	Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio is to be determined by the parties
	consistent with the pro forma cash flow projections delivered to Merrill
	Lynch at closing.

VI. TAX EQUITY STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY POST-CLOSING Equity Structure

The Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company (Each Project Company will be structured, and have terms, similar to the Company as described herein) will be amended and restated (the “LLC Agreement”) to provide for two classes of membership interests:

	· Class A Membership Interests (the “Class A Units”); and
	· Class B Membership Interests (the “Class B Units”).
	Currently, the sole member of the Company is WRP. The Company
	proposes to raise debt capital by Merrill Lynch’s provision of the Senior
	Secured Financing in the amount of approximately $28 million. The
	Company also proposes to raise equity capital by the admission of a tax
	equity partner (the “Tax Equity Partner”) as members of the Company in
	exchange for total equity contributions of approximately $26 million.
	Upon admission, the equity investors will become the Class A Members
	(the “Class A Members”) and WRP will become the sole Class B Member
	(the “Class B Member”). Collectively, the Class B Member and the Class
	A Members are referred to herein as “Members”, and individually as
	“Member”. The closing of the admission of Tax Equity Partner as a
	member in the Company will occur when the commercial operation date is
	achieved and other conditions are satisfied (the “equity closing”). The
	parties will cooperate with one another in structuring the transaction so
	that the admission of Tax Equity Partner is characterized for tax purposes
	in a manner that meets the mutual objectives of the parties of maximizing
	applicable tax benefits.
Management	The Members will appoint the Class B Member as the managing member
	of the Company (the “Managing Member”). The Managing Member will
	be solely responsible for the management of the Project and the Company
	subject to certain approval rights of the Class A Members as described
	below, including the operation and maintenance of the Project. The
	Managing Member will appoint officers of the Company.
Cash Distributions	The amount of cash available for distribution to the Members, in
	accordance with the Account Waterfall Provisions, will be distributed
	quarterly as follows:
	First, to the Managing Member as payment of the Management Fee
	(described below);
	Second, until the date that the Class A Members reach the Target Return
	(an after-tax IRR of 15%) (the “Flip Date”), 99% to the Class A Members
	and 1% to the Class B Member; and
	On and after the Flip Date, 5% to the Class A Members and 95% to the

	Class B Member.
	In the event that the Flip Date occurs prior to the end of the tax credit date
	for the facility, the Class A Members shall have an option to purchase
	additional membership interests up to 99% from the Class B Member for a
	price to be determined based upon a to be agreed formula.
Allocations	Subject to the special allocations required by section 704(b) of the Code
	and the regulations provided thereunder, profits, losses, deductions and
	tax credits will be allocated to the Members annually as follows:
	First, until the Flip Date, 99% to the Class A Members and 1% to the
	Class B Member; and
	On and after the Flip Date, 5% to the Class A Members and 95% to the
	Class B Member.
Fees	The Managing Member will be paid an annual non-cumulative
	management fee of $500,000 increasing 2.50% per year (the
	“Management Fee”). The Management Fee may be divided between a
	management fee and an O&M fee as may be appropriate. The
	Management Fee will provide for a bonus based upon production
	exceeding certain specified amounts. The foregoing is subject to Tax
	Equity Partner’s analysis of management and O&M functions and arm’s
	length analysis.
	The Managing Member will be paid a development fee of approximately
	$12,600,000 (the “Development Fee”) based upon its services in
	developing the project, including acquiring the geothermal leases, power
	sales agreement, equipment contracts, and other valuable services
	resulting in a completed project. The Development Fee will be funded at
	equity closing, held in escrow and subordinate to the debt. The escrow
	fund will be deposited with and held and disbursed by an affiliate of Tax
	Equity Partner reasonably acceptable to the parties and will bear interest at
	Overnight LIBOR. The Development fee will be paid as agreed to by the
	parties and will be subject to Raser affiliates and the Managing Member
	having satisfied all requirements of any related agreements to which they
	are party.
Purchase Option	For a period of 60 days following the earlier to occur of the Flip Date or
	10 years from the equity closing, the Class B Member or the Company
	will have the option to purchase the Class A Units for the greater of (i) the
	fair market value of the Class A Units determined at such time (based
	upon the post-Flip interest only, plus any make-whole necessary to cause
	the return to the Class A Members to reach the Target Return if the Flip
	has not yet occurred) or (ii) an amount necessary to cause the Class A
	Members to reach the Target Return plus 50 basis points, or such other
	amount mutually agreed by the parties.

In connection therewith, the Class A Members will consult with the Class B Member about strategy and give them the opportunity to attend any meetings with the tax authorities in such audits, but will ultimately control the selection of counsel to assist in the audits and the approach taken with the tax authorities. Counsel fees will be reimbursed by the Company.

The capital accounts will be adjusted before any liquidating distribution to reflect the allocation of gain or loss inherent in the assets.

Each Member will be required to promptly execute all certificates and other instruments as will be necessary to accomplish all filing, recording, publishing and other acts appropriate to comply with all requirements for the formation and operation of a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware.
