ARTICLE 4
COVENANTS; OTHER OBLIGATIONS

4.1 Covenants Between Signing and Closing. If the Closing Date is not the date of this Agreement, the provisions of thisSection 4.1shall apply during the period from the date hereof to the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement pursuant toSection 5.4:

(a) Project Specific Pre-Closing Covenants of Seller. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the business, operations and affairs of the Project

Company only in the ordinary and normal course of business, subject to the following provisions with respect to any proposed entry into any Material Contract or any proposed amendment, termination or waiver (in whole or in part) of any Material Contract (each such proposal, a “Material Contract Change”):

(i)

Seller shall give prior written notice to Purchasers of, and shall to the extent practicable consult in good faith with Purchasers regarding, any Material Contract Change that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Operating Period; and

(ii)

Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, seek by written notice the approval of each Purchaser to any Material Contract Change. During the twenty calendar-day period following delivery of any such notice, Seller shall provide to each Purchaser promptly any information within Seller’s possession regarding such Material Contract Change as such Purchaser reasonably requests. Each Purchaser shall, by the end of such twenty calendar-day period, notify Seller whether it approves (acting reasonably) such Material Contract Change. If neither Purchaser approves such Material Contract Change, Seller may (A) abstain from proceeding with such Material Contract Change, (B) proceed with such Material Contract Change (in which case each Purchaser retains its right to assert a failure of a condition precedent to Closing, if applicable), or (C) terminate this Agreement. If either Purchaser approves such Material Contract Change while the other Purchaser does not, Seller may nonetheless proceed with such Material Contract Change. In such event, the non-approving Purchaser shall be deemed to have refused to waive a condition precedent to Closing underSection 5.2, and Section5.5(b)(ii) or(c)(ii) shall apply at any time thereafter. If either Purchaser fails to complete the Closing as a result of a proposed Material Contract Change, then the Seller must proceed with such Material Contract Change, or notify the non-approving Purchaser and provide such non-approving Purchaser with the opportunity to complete the Closing.

(b) Access, Information and Documents. Subject to the next sentence, Seller will give to each Purchaser and to such Purchaser’s counsel, accountants and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to all material Books and Records and the Wind Project (subject to all applicable safety and insurance requirements and any limitations on Seller’s rights to, or right to provide others with, access) and will furnish to such Purchaser all such documents and copies of documents and all information, including operational reports, with respect to the affairs of the Project Company, the General Partner, the Seller Affiliates, and the Wind Project as such Purchaser may reasonably request. If, by reason of any confidentiality obligations imposed on Seller by any counterparty to a Contract who deals at arm’s length with Seller, Seller is unable to comply with the foregoing covenant, Seller and such Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents or

waivers required to make the disclosure (which, in the case of such Purchaser, may include the requirement to enter into a reasonable confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement). Each Purchaser agrees to comply with any confidentiality obligations which would be applicable to it under any such Contracts received from Seller hereunder.

(c) Updating of Disclosure Schedules. Seller shall notify Purchasers in writing of any material changes, additions, or events occurring after the date of this Agreement which require a representation and warranty of Seller (other than any representations or warranties inSections 2.6,2.7 and2.11, which, for clarity, may not be updated by Seller) to be supplemented with a new Schedule or cause any material change in or addition to a Schedule promptly after Seller becomes aware of the same by delivery of such new Schedule or appropriate updates to any such Schedule (each, an “Updated Disclosure Schedule”) to Purchaser. Each Updated Disclosure Schedule shall (i) expressly state that it is being made pursuant to thisSection 4.1(c), (ii) specify the representations and warranties to which it applies and (iii) describe in reasonable detail the changes, additions or events to which it relates. No Updated Disclosure Schedule delivered pursuant to thisSection 4.1(c) shall be deemed to cure any breach of any representation or warranty made to any Purchaser unless such Purchaser specifically agrees thereto in writing or, as provided in and subject toArticle 5, consummates the Closing under this Agreement after receipt of such written notification, nor shall any such Updated Disclosure Schedule be considered to constitute or give rise to a waiver by either of the Purchasers of any condition set forth in this Agreement, unless such Purchaser specifically agrees thereto in writing or consummates the Closing under this Agreement after receipt of such written notification.

(d) Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable.

4.2 Other Covenants

(a) Costs, Expenses. Except as may be specified elsewhere in this Agreement, such Purchaser shall pay all costs and expenses, including legal fees and the fees of any broker, environmental consultant, insurance consultant, independent engineer, and title company retained by such Purchaser for its due diligence and its negotiation, performance of and compliance with this Agreement. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses (including in connection with any reports, studies or other documents listed inPart II ofAppendix D, unless specifically noted inPart II ofAppendix D), including legal fees and the fees of any broker of Seller or its Affiliates, relating to or resulting from the negotiation, performance of and compliance with this Agreement by Seller.

(b) Public Announcement; Confidentiality. No party hereto shall make or issue, or cause to be made or issued, any public announcement or written statement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other parties, except to the extent required by law (including any disclosure which, in the reasonable judgment of the disclosing party, is necessary or appropriate to comply with Governmental Rules and standards governing disclosures to investors) or in accordance with the

rules, regulations and orders of any stock exchange. Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants advisors and partners not to, disclose any confidential information in or relating to this Agreement other than (i) to its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors and partners,provided in each case that such recipient is bound by reasonable confidentiality obligations, (ii) as required by applicable law or regulation or (iii) with the prior consent of Purchasers. Seller shall not use, and shall not enable any third party to use, any confidential information in or relating to this Agreement that constitutes material non-public information regarding Purchasers in a manner that is prohibited by the U.S. securities laws.

(c) Regulatory Approvals. Each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all required regulatory approvals (including the required Governmental Approvals set forth inPart VII ofAppendix B) as promptly as possible and, in any event, prior to the Closing Date. To that end, each of the parties shall make, or cause to be made, all other filings and submissions, and submit all other documentation and information that in the reasonable opinion of any Purchaser is required or advisable, to obtain the regulatory approvals, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy all requests for additional information and documentation received under or pursuant to those filings, submissions and the applicable legislation and any orders or requests made by any Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Purchaser will be required to (i) propose or agree to accept any undertaking or condition, enter into any consent agreement, make any divestiture or accept any operational restriction or other behavioral remedy, (ii) take any action that, in the reasonable judgment of such Purchaser, could be expected to limit the right of such Purchaser to own or operate all or any portion of the business or assets of the Project Company, the General Partner or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or of such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or to conduct their respective affairs in a manner consistent with how they each conduct their affairs as of the date of this Agreement, or (iii) contest or defend any judicial or administrative proceeding brought by any Governmental Authority seeking to prohibit, prevent, restrict or unwind the consummation of all or a part of the transaction contemplated herein.

(d) Consents. Except in respect of regulatory approvals, which shall be governed bySection 4.2(c), as promptly as possible and, in any event, prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) make or cause to be made all filings required by Law to be made by it in order to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby; and (ii) seek and obtain all Consents required pursuant toSection 2.5.

(e) Other Obligations of Seller and Purchasers. The parties mutually covenant as follows:

(i)

to use all reasonable efforts in good faith to obtain promptly the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing of the transactions contemplated herein;

(ii)

to furnish to the other parties and to the other parties’ counsel all such information as may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the foregoing actions, including draft regulatory filings and submissions, provided that such information may be redacted

to render illegible any commercially sensitive portions thereof, and in such event the parties will meet in good faith to agree on protective measures to allow disclosure of such redacted information to counsel in a manner that affords the maximum protection to such commercially sensitive information as is reasonable in the circumstances; and

(iii)

to advise the other parties promptly if any party determines that any condition precedent to its obligations hereunder will not be satisfied in a timely manner.

(f) Allocation of Aggregate Purchase Price. The Aggregate Purchase Price shall be allocated between the Acquired Interests based on the percentages set forth onSchedule 4.2(f) and the parties agree to report the transactions contemplated in this Agreement in a manner consistent with such allocation in the preparation, filing and audit of any Tax Return.

(g) Allocation of Partnership Income and Loss. With respect to the income or loss of the Project Company for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, the Purchasers shall cause the General Partner to allocate income or loss of the Project Company for the period up to and including the date of Closing to the Seller, and to allocate income or loss of the Project Company for the period after the date of Closing to the Purchasers on a pro rata basis based on their respective interests in the Project Company at the end of the fiscal year.

Purchase Price Adjustment) within thirty (30) days following such PEGI Default or PSP Waiver, as applicable, or as may be reasonably extended for PSP to obtain financing, additional regulatory approvals or applicable internal consents to consummate such funding, in which case, following the consummation of such funding, PSP shall be the sole Purchaser of the Acquired Interests under this Agreement, (B) decline to fund any amount under this Agreement, or (C) with the consent of Seller, fund PSP’s Separate Purchase Price (including any Purchase Price Adjustment) only.

(d) Effect. In the event that either Purchaser funds the entire Aggregate Purchase Price pursuant to paragraph (b)(A) or (c)(A) above, as applicable, the other Purchaser (whether or not it is a Defaulting Purchaser) shall not have any further obligations pursuant to this Agreement and Seller shall have no claim against such other Purchaser under this Agreement or at Law. In the event that either Purchaser declines to fund any amount under this Agreement or funds its Separate Purchase Price pursuant to paragraph (b)(B) or (C) or paragraph (c)(B) or (C) above, as applicable, the other Purchaser shall remain subject to all its obligations, and Seller shall retain all its rights against such other Purchaser, pursuant to this Agreement. For greater certainty, Seller shall not have any claim against a Purchaser who elects not to waive a condition to Closing in its favor (or a mutual condition to Closing in favor of Purchasers and Seller).

(b) Maximum Limit on Claims.

(i)

Limitation on Seller’s Liability. Seller’s maximum aggregate liability for Claims for breaches of representations and warranties under this Agreement is limited to Seller’s Maximum Liability set forth inPart VI ofAppendix B;provided that the Seller’s Maximum Liability will not apply to any Claim based on (A) actual fraud or willful misrepresentation or (B) any breach of the representations and warranties set forth inSections 2.1,2.2,2.3,2.5,2.6,2.9,2.11 and2.18 (solely with respect to the Indebtedness of the Project Company, the General Partner and their respective Subsidiaries).

6.3 Reimbursements; Refunds.

(a) Right of Reimbursement. The amount of Losses payable underSection 6.1 by an Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person responsible therefor. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person responsible for any Losses subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party and such amounts would result in a duplicative recovery, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

The Indemnified Party’s failure to give a Third Party Claim Notice in compliance with thisSection 6.4(a) of any Third Party Claim which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party unless, and solely to the extent that, the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim with the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, in each case at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense (provided that prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must acknowledge its indemnity obligations under thisArticle 6), and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with separate counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof;providedthat in such event the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) if such Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to be materially detrimental to the business, reputation or future prospects of any Indemnified Party or (iii) if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party (i) fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend or fails to acknowledge its indemnity obligations under thisArticle 6 as provided in this Agreement, (ii) elects not to defend (or compromise at its sole cost and expense) such Third

Party Claim, (iii) has elected to defend such Third Party Claim but fails to promptly and diligently pursue the defense such Third Party Claim, (iv) otherwise breaches any of its obligations under thisArticle 6 or (v) as set forth onSchedule 6.4(b)hereto, or if the Third Party Claim is reasonably expected by the Indemnified Party to result in a payment obligation on the Indemnified Party in an amount that exceeds the maximum indemnification then available to the Indemnified Party pursuant to thisArticle 6, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of such Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party may (by written notice to the Indemnifying Party) assume control of such defense (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party) and/or compromise such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in thisSection 6.4(c).

6.6 Exclusive Remedy. Seller and Purchasers acknowledge and agree that, should the Closing occur, and excluding liability for actual fraud or willful misrepresentation, the foregoing

indemnification provisions of thisArticle 6 and the provisions ofSection 7.15 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and Purchasers with respect to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement (other than any Purchase Price Adjustment set forth inPart I ofAppendix B) or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, effective as of the Closing each of the Purchasers and Seller covenants to the other party that in respect of any matters under or contemplated in this Agreement, it will not make any Claim whatsoever against any Affiliate of the other party or the directors, officers, managers, shareholders, member, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing, in each case in their capacities as such, and its rights in respect of any such Claim for breach of any provision of this Agreement are limited solely to such rights as it may have against Seller or Purchasers, as the case may be, under this Agreement.

6.7 Purchaser Indemnification Decisions. Each Purchaser may bring a Claim for indemnification pursuant to thisArticle 6. If both Purchasers initiate substantially the same Claim (a “Joint Claim”), PEGI shall have the right to assume control of the prosecution of such Joint Claim but may not enter into any settlement with the Indemnifying Party that purports to bind PSP with respect to such Joint Claim without the prior written consent of PSP (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If PEGI has elected to prosecute such Joint Claim but fails to promptly and diligently pursue the same, then PSP may (by written notice to PEGI) assume control of the prosecution of such Joint Claim but may not enter into any settlement with the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Joint Claim that purports to bind PEGI without the prior written consent of PEGI (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Neither Purchaser may enter into any settlement with respect to any Joint Claim solely for itself (i.e., any settlement that does not purport to bind the other Purchaser) without first notifying the other Purchaser and giving the other Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to participate in such settlement. The expenses of the prosecution of any Joint Claim shall be borne by both Purchaserspro rata in accordance with their Percentage Portion.

Each party further agrees to accept service of process out of any of the before mentioned courts in any such dispute by registered or certified mail addressed to the party at the address set forth inPart VII ofAppendix B.

(iv)

Conduct of the Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules and in a manner that effectuates the parties’ intent that Disputes be resolved expeditiously and with minimal expense.

7.11 Limitation of Representations and Warranties. Purchasers acknowledge that except as expressly provided inArticle 2 of this Agreement, Seller has not made, and Seller hereby expressly disclaims and negates, and each of the Purchasers hereby expressly waive, any other representation or warranty, express, implied, at Law or otherwise relating to the Acquired Interests, Seller or Seller Affiliates, the Project Company, the Wind Project or this Agreement.
