3.	Purchase Price Calculation and Adjustments. The Base Purchase Price, the Closing Purchase Price and the Purchase Price with respect to the Acquired Companies Acquisition to which this Acquired Companies Annex applies shall be determined as follows:


(a)	The Portfolio Project Model sets forth the Base Purchase Price as of the Closing Date that has been agreed to by Seller and Purchaser. The Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted by the Estimated Working Capital (positive or negative). Such Base Purchase Price, as adjusted, shall be the Closing Purchase Price.


(b)	Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller will prepare (at Seller’s expense) and deliver to Purchaser a list of the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date as determined in good faith by Seller to calculate the Actual Working Capital, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of, and documentation of such Working

Capital Inputs. If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of such Working Capital Inputs information Purchaser objects in writing to Seller (describing in reasonable detail the specific line items and values that are in dispute and the reasons for such dispute, and proposing alternative values with respect to such specific line items), such disputed items shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in subparagraph 3(e) below. If any of such Working Capital Inputs are not timely objected to by Purchaser, then such Working Capital Inputs and the resulting Actual Working Capital shall be deemed final and no longer subject to dispute by either of the Parties. If within thirty (30) days following delivery of such Working Capital Inputs information, Purchaser does not object in writing to Seller, then the representatives of the Parties shall meet within five (5) Business Days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period to revise the Portfolio Project Model as set forth in subparagraph 3(f) below using Seller’s list of Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date; provided, that, if within such five (5) Business Day period the representatives of the Parties have not met to revise the Portfolio Project Model, then the representative of Seller shall revise and re-run the Portfolio Project Model in accordance with subparagraph 3(f) below using Seller’s list of Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date.

(c)

If the list of the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date is not prepared and delivered by Seller within the sixty (60) day period set forth in subparagraph 3(b) above, Purchaser shall be entitled (but not obligated) during the fifteen (15) day period commencing on the sixty-first (61st) day after the Closing Date to prepare (at Purchaser’s expense) and deliver to Seller a list of the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date as determined in good faith by Purchaser to calculate the Actual Working Capital, together with a reasonably detailed explanation and documentation of such Working Capital Inputs. If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of such Working Capital Inputs information, Seller objects in writing to Purchaser (describing in reasonable detail the specific line items and values that are in dispute and the reasons for such dispute, and proposing alternative values with respect to such specific line items), such disputed items shall be subject to the objection and resolution provisions set forth in subparagraph 3(e) below. If any of such Working Capital Inputs are not timely objected to by Seller, then such Working Capital Inputs and the resulting Actual Working Capital shall be deemed final and no longer subject to dispute by either of the Parties. If within thirty (30) days following delivery of such Working Capital Inputs information, Seller does not object in writing to Purchaser, then the representatives of the Parties shall meet within five (5) Business Days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period to revise the Portfolio Project Model as set forth in subparagraph 3(f) below using Purchaser’s list of Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date; provided, that, if within such five (5) Business Day period the representatives of the Parties have not met to revise the Portfolio Project Model, then the representative of Purchaser shall revise and re-run the Portfolio Project Model in accordance with subparagraph 3(f) below using Purchaser’s list of Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date.


(d)	If neither Purchaser nor Seller prepare and timely deliver a list of the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date in accordance with subparagraph 3(b) or subparagraph 3(c), above, no adjustments to the Portfolio Project Model will be made pursuant to subparagraph 3(f) below and the Closing Purchase Price shall be the Purchase Price.

(e)

If Purchaser timely objects to Seller’s list of the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date pursuant to subparagraph 3(b) or if Seller timely objects to Purchaser’s list of the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date pursuant to subparagraph 3(c), then Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith and attempt to resolve the particular items and values that are identified in the applicable written notice of objection over a ten (10) day period commencing on delivery of written notice of objection pursuant to subparagraph 3(b) or subparagraph 3(c), as the case may be. Should such negotiations not result in an agreement as to the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date within such ten (10) day period (or such longer period as Seller and Purchaser may mutually agree in writing), then either Party may submit such disputed items and values to the Neutral Auditor. Each Party agrees to promptly execute a reasonable engagement letter, if requested to do so by the Neutral Auditor. Seller and Purchaser, and their respective representatives, shall cooperate fully with the Neutral Auditor. The Neutral Auditor, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall resolve such disputed items and determine the values to be ascribed thereto, and determine the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date. The Parties hereby agree that the Neutral Auditor shall only decide the values ascribed to the specific disputed items, and the Neutral Auditor’s decision with respect to such disputed items must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the applicable proposed list of the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date delivered by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and the notice of objection, respectively. The Neutral Auditor shall be directed to determine such values (in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) within thirty (30) days after being retained as provided in this subparagraph 3(e). All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Auditor will be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. The Neutral Auditor shall be directed to resolve the disputed items and deliver to Seller and Purchaser a written determination of the amounts for such disputed items (such determination to be made consistent with this subparagraph 3(e), to include all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and to be based solely on information provided to the Neutral Auditor by Purchaser and Seller) within thirty (30) days after being retained and such determination will be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and their respective Affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the dispute resolution mechanism contained in this subparagraph 3(e) shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes, if any, regarding the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date for purposes of revising the Portfolio Project Model as set forth in subparagraph 3(f) below, if any, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article X of the Agreement for Losses relating to matters used in determining or calculating the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date (other than the failure to pay amounts, if any, that

become due and payable pursuant to subparagraph 3(f) below) or in respect of any of the assets or liabilities that are transferred to or assumed by Purchaser and that were included in the calculation of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment. Within five (5) Business Days following the delivery by the Neutral Auditor to Seller and Purchaser of the Neutral Auditor’s written determination of the amounts of the disputed items of Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date, the representatives of the Parties shall meet to revise the Portfolio Project Model as set forth in subparagraph 3(f) below using Seller’s or Purchaser’s list of Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date delivered pursuant to subparagraph 3(b) or subparagraph 3(c) above, as the case may be, as modified by the Neutral Auditor’s determination of the amounts of the specific disputed items; provided, that, if within such five (5) Business Day period the representatives of the Parties have not met to revise the Portfolio Project Model, then the representative of Seller shall revise and re-run the Portfolio Project Model in accordance with subparagraph 3(f) below using the applicable list of Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date as modified by the Neutral Auditor.


(f)	Within the applicable period set forth in subparagraphs 3(b), 3(c) or 3(e) above, as applicable, representatives of the Parties shall meet to revise the Portfolio Project Model as follows:


(i)	the representatives of the Parties shall revise the Working Capital Inputs to the Portfolio Project Model to reflect all changes to the Working Capital Inputs; and


(ii)	following the completion of the revisions described in clause (i) and the re-run of the Portfolio Project Model, the Purchase Price shall be set forth in cell “C14” in the worksheet labeled “Purchase Price Calculation” in the Portfolio Project Model.

Immediately upon completion of the revision of the Portfolio Project Model as set forth in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this subparagraph 3(f), Seller shall calculate the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment (which calculation shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding on Seller and Purchaser) and not later than one (1) Business Day after such calculation is completed, notify Purchaser of the amount of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment (which may be a positive or negative amount). If the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment is a positive amount, then Purchaser shall pay in cash to Seller such positive amount. If the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment is a negative amount, then Seller shall pay in cash to Purchaser an amount equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment. Any such payment in respect of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment will be due and payable within three (3) Business Days after the Seller gives notice to Purchaser of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment as provided in this

subparagraph 3(f). Any payments made pursuant to this subparagraph 3(f) shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes of the Agreement, including Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE TWO
OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES

2.1Rights to Develop Subsequent Phases. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, NEP Renewables II acknowledges and agrees to the right of any Subsequent Phase Owner to Implement any Subsequent Phase. Each Party and each Subsequent Phase Owner which is a party hereto agrees that it will not Implement any Subsequent Phase, except in compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1. Without limiting the foregoing, NextEra agrees that it will not permit any of its Affiliates to Implement any Subsequent Phase unless such Affiliate complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1 or enters into a build-out agreement with respect to such Subsequent Phase (an “Affiliate Build-Out Agreement”) in substantially the form of, or becomes a party to, this Agreement. In addition, NextEra further agrees that prior to it or any of its Affiliates selling or otherwise transferring any direct or indirect interest in an Affiliate of NextEra that has Subsequent Phase Rights to any non-Affiliate, it shall cause such Affiliate holding such Subsequent Phase Rights to become a party to this Agreement or to enter into a build-out agreement with respect to such Subsequent Phase Rights in substantially the form of this Agreement (a “Transferred Affiliate Build-Out Agreement”) unless the Affiliate holding such Subsequent Phase Rights continues to be controlled directly or indirectly by NextEra. Without limiting NextEra’s obligations under this Section 2.1, any Affiliate Build-Out Agreement or Transferred Affiliate Build-Out Agreement shall apply only to the Subsequent Phase Rights acquired by such Affiliate while it is an Affiliate of NextEra.

(a)Prior to the later of (i) the beginning of the Implementation of any Subsequent Phase or (ii) ten (10) days following the execution of this Agreement, the Subsequent Phase Owner will, at its own expense, prepare and present to each Project Owner, each Independent Engineer and each Independent Transmission Consultant a detailed development procedure (including the proposed design and construction timetable for the Subsequent Phase) (the “Phase Design”) sufficient to allow (i) the applicable Independent Engineer to analyze and determine on a preliminary basis the applicable Wind Interference Effect and the applicable O&M Interference Effect and (ii) the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant to analyze and determine on a preliminary basis the applicable Transmission Access Effect. NextEra, or its Affiliates, and the Subsequent Phase Owner will cause (i) the applicable Independent Engineer to calculate the applicable Wind Interference Effect and the applicable O&M Interference Effect and (ii) the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant to calculate the applicable Transmission Access Effect; provided, however, that NextEra, its Affiliates and the Subsequent Phase Owner shall have no obligation to cause any Independent Engineer to perform such calculation with respect to a Wind Interference Effect if no Wind Turbines of the Subsequent Phase will be within five (5) kilometers of any Wind Turbines of any Project.

(b)Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant) under Section

2.1(a), NextEra will run the applicable Project Model for such Project or Projects, in each case, changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the applicable Subsequent Phase Effect as calculated on a preliminary basis.

(c)If the applicable Project Model as modified for the Subsequent Phase Effect, as reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant) on a preliminary basis, results in a Build-Out Payment greater than zero, then NextEra will determine the relevant Cash Adjustment assuming that the Subsequent Phase is built in accordance with the Phase Design. If a Cash Adjustment is equal to or less than zero, no further action is required under this Section 2.1(c).

(d)As a condition to commencing construction of the Subsequent Phase or relocation of the applicable Wind Turbine included in such Subsequent Phase, the Subsequent Phase Owner will provide one or more guarantees by NextEra for any Cash Adjustment, as applicable, or in lieu thereof, a letter of credit or other security in form and substance, and issued by a party, reasonably satisfactory to NEP Renewables II.

(e)Prior to commencement of operation of a Subsequent Phase (or any portion thereof which could reasonably be expected to affect any Project) on a commercial basis, the Subsequent Phase Owner and NextEra will cause the applicable Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant) to calculate the Subsequent Phase Effect on a final basis to reflect the final design and construction timetable (including changes in the projected construction schedule and operations date).

(f)Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant) under Section 2.1(c), NextEra will re-run the applicable Project Model for such Project or Projects, changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the final Subsequent Phase Effect.

(g)If the final determination of the Subsequent Phase Effect, as reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant), in connection with the Implementation of the Subsequent Phase is negative as to NEP Renewables II, NextEra will determine the Cash Adjustment, if applicable, and the Subsequent Phase Owner will, within thirty (30) days of such determination, pay any such Cash Adjustment, as applicable, due to NEP Renewables II. If the applicable Project Model, as modified on a final basis for the final Subsequent Phase Effect results in a Cash Adjustment equal to or less than zero, then, no further action is required under this Section 2.1(g).

(h)Upon payment of a Cash Adjustment, the applicable Project Model, will be revised to reflect, with respect to any Project or Projects, (i) the final Subsequent Phase Effect and (ii) the final Cash Adjustment and, as so revised, will be the Project Model used for purposes of this Section 2.1 in respect of the next Subsequent Phase, if any.

(i)If NEP Renewables II disputes the calculation of a Cash Adjustment, the Subsequent Phase Owner and the Parties shall meet and work together in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Subsequent Phase Owner and the Parties cannot resolve such disagreement within twenty (20) days, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall pay the portion of any Cash Adjustment, as the case may be, that is not in dispute and each shall appoint an independent expert to resolve such dispute. Thereafter, if such independent experts cannot agree within twenty (20) days of receiving all appropriate information, they shall jointly appoint a third independent expert whose decision shall be binding on the parties and failing agreement on such third independent expert within ten (10) days such third independent expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce upon the request of any party. To the extent it is determined that any Cash Adjustment was not calculated correctly, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall make a supplemental Cash Adjustment payment (with interest at the prevailing rate) as necessary. The cost of the independent experts shall be the responsibility of the Subsequent Phase Owner unless NEP Renewables II or its Affiliates shall have acted in bad faith in which case they shall be obligated to pay such costs.

(j)NextEra will not and will not permit any NextEra Affiliate to, and each Party agrees it will not, sell or transfer any Subsequent Phase Rights to another Subsequent Party, unless it simultaneously assigns and delegates to such Subsequent Party, and such Subsequent Party shall assume, the rights and obligations of the Subsequent Phase Owner under this Agreement to the extent relating to such Subsequent Phase or enters into a build-out agreement in respect of such Subsequent Phase in substantially the form of this Agreement; provided, that in connection with any assignment of any Subsequent Phase Rights relating to a Subsequent Phase which is being Implemented and for which a guaranty by NextEra, letter of credit or other security is outstanding, such guaranty, letter of credit or other security shall either remain in full force and effect or be replaced with another guaranty, letter of credit or other security in form and substance, and issued by a party which is, reasonably satisfactory to NEP Renewables II.

(a)Income or Loss (other than items of Income or Loss described in Section 6.2(b)) shall be allocated 90% in the aggregate to the Class A Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, 9% in the aggregate to the Class B Members, and 1% in aggregate to the Class C Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(b)After giving effect to the allocations of Income or Loss set forth in Section 6.2(a), Income or Loss that consists of items of gain or loss described in clauses (iii) or (iv) of the definition of “Income” or “Loss” shall be allocated (i) to the Class A Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests as necessary to cause the ratio of the aggregate Capital Accounts of the Class A Members to the aggregate Capital Accounts of all Members to equal 40%, (ii) to the Class B Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests as necessary to cause the ratio of the aggregate Capital Accounts of the Class B Members to the aggregate Capital Accounts of all Members to equal 10.1%, and (iii) to the Class C Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests as necessary to cause the ratio of the aggregate Capital Accounts of the Class C Members to the aggregate Capital Accounts of all Members to equal 49.9%.

Section 6.3 Special Allocations. The following special allocations will be made in the following order and priority:

(a)If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years), in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)

846706.021-WILSR01A - MSW

(2), except to the extent any exception contained in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) applies. The items of Company income or gain to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3(a) is intended to comply with, and will be applied and interpreted consistent with, such sections of the Regulations.

(b)If there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Taxable Year, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(3), then, except as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), will be allocated items of income and gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt. The items of Company income or gain to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3(b) is intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and will be applied and interpreted in accordance with such Regulation.

(c)Nonrecourse Deductions will be allocated among the Members in the same proportions as the allocations of Income and Loss were made for the Taxable Year pursuant to Section 6.2(a).

(d)Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions will be allocated in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions relate.

(e)In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) resulting in an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for such Member, items of income and gain will be specially allocated to such Member in any amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible. The items of income or gain to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). This Section 6.3(e) is intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be applied and interpreted in accordance with such Regulations; provided, that the special allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3(e) will be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all of the other special allocations provided in this Section 6.3 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3(e) were not in this Agreement.

(f)In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Taxable Year, each such Member will be specially allocated items of income and gain as quickly as possible to eliminate its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3(f) will be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all

846706.021-WILSR01A - MSW

of the other allocations provided for in this Section 6.3 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3(f) and Section 6.3(e) were not in this Agreement.

(g)To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company Asset pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining the Capital Accounts of the Members under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the Asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss will be specially allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(h)No items of loss or deduction shall be allocated to any Member under Section 6.2 or this Section 6.3 to the extent that any such allocation would cause the Member to have, or increase the amount of, an existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Taxable Year. All items of loss or deduction in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 6.3(h) shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with the positive balances in such Members’ Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible loss or deduction to each Member under Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(i)The allocations required by Section 6.3(a) through Section 6.3(h) are intended to comply with the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b), 1.704-1(d)(4) and 1.704-2. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent the Company can do so consistently with the Regulations, the net amount of the allocations under this Article VI to each Member will be the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if this Agreement did not contain Section 6.3(a) through Section 6.3(h).

Section 6.4 Income Tax Allocations.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, for federal, state and local income tax purposes each item of income, gain, deduction and loss of the Company will be allocated to the Members in the same manner as the correlative item computed for purposes of the Capital Accounts is allocated and credited or debited pursuant to Section 6.2 and Section 6.3. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Income or Loss or items thereof or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(b)In order to remove book/tax disparities attributable to an Asset contributed to the Company by a Member or with respect to which an adjustment to the Value was made pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of “Value”, items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction will be allocated solely for federal income tax purposes as follows:

(i)Items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company (including income, gain, loss and deduction determined with respect to the alternative minimum tax) will be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the

846706.021-WILSR01A - MSW

Regulations thereunder so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Value. The Company will use the “traditional method” described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) in respect of any such adjustment.

(ii)In the event the Value of any Company Asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of “Value”, subsequent allocations of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Asset will take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Asset (including such adjusted basis for alternative minimum tax purposes) and its Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. The Company will use the “traditional method” described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) in respect of any such adjustment.

(c)If any portion of gain recognized from the disposition of an Asset by the Company represents the “recapture” of previously allocated deductions by virtue of the application of Code Section 1245 or 1250 (“Recapture Gain”), such Recapture Gain will be allocated, solely for income tax purposes, in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.1245-1(e)(2) and (3) and 1.1250-1(f).

(d)To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Asset of the Company is made pursuant to Code Section 743(b) as a result of a Transfer of a Membership Interest in the Company, any adjustment will affect the transferee only and will not affect the Capital Account of the transferring Member or the transferee. In such case, the transferee will be required to agree to provide to the Company (i) information about the allocation of any step-up or step-down in basis to the Assets of the Company and (ii) the depreciation or amortization method for any step-up in basis to the Assets of the Company.

Section 6.5 Other Allocation Rules.

(a)In the event a Member Transfers its Membership Interest during a Taxable Year, the allocation of Company items of Income and Loss allocated to such Member and its transferee for such Taxable Year will be made between such Member and its transferee in accordance with Code Section 706 using any convention permitted by Code Section 706 and selected by the Managing Member.

(b)To the extent permitted by Regulations Sections 1.704-2(h)(3) and 1.704‑2(i)(6), the Members will endeavor to treat distributions as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent such distribution would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Member.

Section 6.6 Distributions of Available Cash Flow. Except as provided in Section 11.1, distributions shall be made as follows out of funds legally available therefor, at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by the Managing Member:

846706.021-WILSR01A - MSW

(a)40% to the Class A Members, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests;

(b)10.1% to the Class B Members, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests; and

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to the Members on account of their interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Act or any other applicable law.

ARTICLE VIII – BOOKS AND RECORDS; TAX MATTERS

Section 8.1. Books and Records. The Managing Member shall keep or cause to be kept complete and accurate books of account and records with respect to the Company's business. The books of the Company shall at all times be maintained by the Managing Member. The Members and their duly authorized representatives (including any of their lenders so authorized) shall have the right to examine the Company books, records and documents during normal business hours. The Company's books of account shall be kept using the method of accounting determined by the Managing Member. The Company's independent auditor, if any, shall be an independent public accounting firm selected by the Managing Member.

Section 8.2 Tax Matters.

(a) No Partnership Intended for Non-Tax Purposes. The Members have formed the Company under the Act, and expressly do not intend hereby to form a partnership under either the Delaware General Partnership Act or the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Members do not intend (for non-tax purposes) to be partners one to another, or partners as to any third party. To the extent any Member, by word or action, represents to another person that any other Member is a partner or that the Company is a partnership (in each case, for non-tax purposes), the Member making such wrongful representation shall be liable to any other Member who incurs personal liability by reason of such wrongful representation.

(b) Partnership Representative. ESI shall be, to the extent permitted under subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code, the “partnership representative” as that term is described in Section 6223 of the Code (the “Partnership Representative”), and shall have all the powers and duties expressly conferred on the Partnership Representative

by the Code; provided that the Partnership Representative will (i) keep all Members fully and timely informed of all administrative and judicial proceedings regarding taxes of the Company or with respect to the assets of the Company, and (ii) not make any change in the tax classification of the Company as a partnership, extend any statute of limitations, or take any action with a tax agency that binds any Member without the consent of each Member affected.

(i) In the event of any Company level proceeding instituted by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to sections 6221 through 6235 of the Code, the Partnership Representative shall control the nature and content of all action and defense to be taken by the Company. Further, the Partnership Representative shall control the nature and content of all proceedings pursuant to sections 6221 through 6235 of the Code instituted by or on behalf of the Company; provided, however, that the Partnership Representative shall not institute or settle any administrative or judicial proceeding without the consent of the other Member.

(ii) Any Member may be substituted as the Partnership Representative upon the vote or written consent of the Members.

(d) Tax Elections. The Managing Member in its discretion and without limitation elect to make one or more of the following federal income tax elections on the appropriate Company tax returns:


(i)	to elect pursuant to Code Section 754 to adjust the basis of the Company’s properties;


(ii)	to elect under Code Section 168 to apply any available depreciation method.


(iii)	to elect any method of allocating items of taxable income under Code Section 704(c).

ARTICLE IX - EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1 Exculpation. Neither the Members nor any Officer shall be liable to the Company, or to any other Person who is a party to or otherwise bound by this Agreement, for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by the Members or Officer in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on the Members or Officer by this Agreement, except that the Members or Officer shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of its, his or her willful misconduct.

Section 9.2 Indemnification. To the full extent permitted by applicable law and this Agreement, the Managing Member (including any of its members, officers or agents)

and each Officer shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Member or Officer by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Member or Officer in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on the Managing Member or Officer by this Agreement, except that neither the Managing Member nor the Officer shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by it, him or her by reason of willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 9.2 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Members shall have no personal liability on account thereof. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Managing Member or any Officer against any liability asserted and incurred by the Managing Member or Officer to the extent the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provision of this Agreement and the laws of Delaware.

ARTICLE X – RESIGNATION; ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS

Section 10.1 Resignation of Member. Any Member may resign from the Company with the prior unanimous written consent of the other Members and upon satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 10.1. If a Member is permitted to resign pursuant to this Section 10.1, such resignation shall not be effective until a new Member shall be admitted to the Company in the place and stead of the resigning Member. Any admission shall be deemed effective when such new Member shall have executed an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at which time the resigning Member shall cease to be a Member. A resignation will not result in dissolution of the Company.

Section 10.2. Assignments; Transfers.

(a) Except as expressly permitted under this Agreement, no Member may assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of its Membership Interest in whole or in part. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including any other portion of this Section 10.2), NEP US SellCo shall be permitted to assign its interest in the Company to NEP Acquisitions in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, NEP Acquisitions shall be permitted to assign its interest in the Company through a series of transfers to Blocker I and, upon such assignment, Blocker I shall be admitted as a Member and NEP US SellCo shall cease to be a Member.

(b) Any assignment, transfer or disposition of an interest in the Company otherwise permitted by this Agreement shall be permitted only so long as such assignment, transfer or disposition is in compliance with the transfer conditions and applicable federal and state and other securities laws and does not cause a dissolution of the Company or otherwise impair the ability of the Company to be treated as a partnership under the federal income tax laws.

(c) Subject to clauses (a) and (b) above, any Member may assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of (for purposes of this Section 10.2 collectively, a "transfer") all or any part of its Membership Interest (collectively, "Permitted Transfers") (i) to an affiliate of the Member, any other Member or such other Member’s affiliates and (ii) in connection with any collateral assignment, pledge, grant of security interest in, lien against or other encumbrance in or against any or all of a Member’s Membership Interest; provided that no such assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Section 10.2(c) until the assignor shall have notified the Company and the other Member of such assignment, which notice shall include the name and address of the assignee.

(d) No transfer of a Member's interest in the Company that is not a Permitted Transfer shall be made without the consent of the non-transferring Member, such consent to be given or withheld in such non-transferring Member's sole discretion.

(e) If a Member transfers all or any part of its interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 10.2, the transferee shall, upon the execution by the transferee of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be admitted to the Company as a Member.

(f) A pledge of, grant of security interest in, lien against, or other encumbrance in or against any or all of a Member’s Membership Interest shall neither cause the Member to cease to be a Member nor to cease to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Member.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to a Member by merger or consolidation shall, without further act, be a Member hereunder, and such merger or consolidation shall not constitute a transfer for purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall continue without dissolution.

ARTICLE XI – DISSOLUTION; BANKRUPTCY

Section 11.1 Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of the following: (a) the written consent of the Members, (b) the dissolution of the legal existence of the last remaining Member or the occurrence of any other event which involuntarily terminates the continued membership of the last remaining Member in the Company unless the business of the Company is continued in a manner permitted by the Act and this Agreement, or (c) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

In the event of any occurrence resulting in the termination of the continued membership of the last remaining Member, the personal representative of the last remaining Member (or any other Person designated by such personal representative) shall be obligated to agree in writing to continue the Company and to the admission of such personal representative or designated Person as a Member and such Person shall automatically be admitted as a Member, effective as of the occurrence of the event resulting in the termination of the continued membership of the last remaining Member.

In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act; provided, however, that such application of the assets of the Company shall be made without regard to the capital contributions made by the Cash Grant Interests Holder pursuant to Section 12.4(b).

Section 11.2 Bankruptcy. The bankruptcy or other event described in Section 18-304 of the Act with respect to a Member will not cause such Member to cease to be a Member and, upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of the Company shall continue without dissolution.

ARTICLE XII – AGREEMENTS RELATING TO CASH GRANTS

Section 12.1 Excluded Cash Grant Interests; Capital Account Balances. The Members hereby acknowledge and agree that ESI as the Cash Grant Interests Holder has retained the Excluded Cash Grant Interests and NEP US SellCo has acquired the Assigned Interests, which do not include any portion of the Excluded Cash Grant Interests. Additionally, the Members acknowledge and agree that the Cash Grant Interests Holder rather than NEP US SellCo is solely responsible for the performance of any obligations with respect to the Excluded Cash Grant Interests.

Section 12.2 Allocations and Distributions with Respect to the Cash Grant

(a) The Members agree that, following the Effective Date, notwithstanding Section 6.1, (a) all Net Profit (including any tax-exempt income and taxable interest income) arising from the Company's receipt of the Specified Cash Grant Proceeds shall be allocated to the Cash Grant Interests Holder rather than to the Members (other than a Member that is also the Cash Grant Interests Holder), and (b) 100% of all Net Loss arising with respect to the Cash Grant Proceeding Liabilities shall be allocated to the Cash Grant Interests Holder, and none of such Net Loss shall be allocated to any Persons as Members. For the avoidance of doubt, the Members agree to treat all items described in and controlled by Article 12 as items of the partnership for federal income tax purposes.

(b) The Members agree that, following the Effective Date, notwithstanding Section 6.2, upon receipt by Silver State of any Specified Cash Grant Proceeds with respect to the Silver State Project, such Specified Cash Grant Proceeds shall not be distributed to the Members (other than a Member that is also the Cash Grant Interests Holder), and the Members agree that they shall have no interest therein, and that such Specified Cash Grant Proceeds shall instead be distributed to the Cash Grant Interests Holder.

(c) In the event that any Member (other than a Member that is also the Cash Grant Interests Holder) receives any distributions that should have been paid to the Cash Grant Interests Holder pursuant to Section 12.2(b), such Member shall promptly pay such amounts to the Cash Grant Interests Holder.

Section 12.3 Cash Grant Contest Rights.

(a) Subject to Section 12.3(b) below, the Cash Grant Interests Holder's rights with respect to the Excluded Cash Grant Interests are exclusive to it and no other Member will take any action that would interfere with or otherwise impair the exercise of those rights by the Cash Grant Interests Holder.

(b) ESI shall defend, hold harmless, and indemnify (on an After-Tax Basis) the Company for any and all losses, liabilities, taxes, amounts paid in settlement, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, deficiencies and expenses (including interest, court costs, reasonable fees of attorneys, accountants and other experts or other reasonable expenses of litigation or other proceedings or of any claim, default or assessment) relating to or resulting from (i) the Cash Grant Proceedings, (ii) the Excluded Cash Grant Interests or (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, any pending, completed or future action, suit or proceeding (a "Claim") arising from or in connection with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may hereafter from time to time permit. The preceding sentence shall be in addition to, but without duplication of, the Cash Grant Interests Holder’s obligation under Section 12.4(b) below. The Managing Member (if the Managing Member is not the Cash Grant Interests Holder) shall promptly advise ESI upon becoming aware of a Claim for which ESI may be liable under this Section 12.3. ESI shall have the right to control any such Claim.

Section 12.4 Cash Grant Proceeding Liabilities

(a) At least five Business Days prior to each distribution under Section 6.2, the Managing Member shall provide the Cash Grant Interests Holder with a report summarizing the 1603 Grant Recapture Liability and total out-of-pocket expenses incurred subsequent to the Effective Date by Silver State with respect to the pursuit of claims and remedies with respect to the Cash Grant Proceedings and the defense of any claim against Silver State that could result in 1603 Grant Recapture Liability (collectively, the "Cash Grant Proceeding Liabilities"). Upon the request of any other Member or the Cash Grant Interests Holder (if the Managing Member is not the Cash Grant Interests Holder), the Managing Member shall provide such other Member or the Cash Grant Interests Holder, as the case may be, with reasonable documentation supporting such liabilities and expenditures.

(b) At least one Business Day prior to any distribution under Section 6.2, the Cash Grant Interests Holder shall make a capital contribution to the Company in an amount equal to (a) the aggregate Cash Grant Proceeding Liabilities incurred after the Effective Date minus (b) the aggregate amount of capital contributions previously made by the Cash Grant Interests Holder pursuant to this Section 12.4. Notwithstanding Section 6.2, the capital contributions received by the Company from the Cash Grant Interests Holder pursuant to this Section 12.4 will be specially distributed to all Members other than a Member that is also the Cash Grant Interests Holder (if more than one such Member is entitled to receive such distribution, such distribution will be made pro rata in accordance

with such Members respective Percentage Interests) on the later of (i) the date when other distributions are made to the Members, or (ii) within 15 Business Days following receipt thereof by the Company. The capital contributions made pursuant to this Section 12.4(b) shall not affect the amount of the percentage membership interest of the Members for purposes of Section 11.1.

(c) The Managing Member is entitled to take such actions as are reasonably required to cause Silver State to pursue any claim of Silver State against any Person (other than the Company or its Members) with respect to any Cash Grant Proceeding Liabilities, provided that the Managing Member is reasonably certain that any cost or expense of the Company or Silver State relating thereto will be reimbursed or indemnified by the Cash Grant Interests Holder or ECI pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article 12). Upon receipt of any proceeds from the successful outcome of such claim, such proceeds shall be distributed to the Cash Grant Interests Holder in the same manner that Specified Cash Grant Proceeds would have been distributed to the Cash Grant Interests Holder under Section 12.2(b). Net Profit, if any, from the receipt of such proceeds shall be allocated to the Cash Grant Interests Holder in accordance with Section 12.2(a).
