2. If Purchaser does not elect to retain an IE, then the Project Purchase Price for the Prairie Breeze III Project shall be adjusted by re-running the PBIII Base Case Model using the Production Estimate set forth in the PBIII Wind Resource Report and applying the same unlevered equity discount rate.

TAX MATTERS

(a)Without any duplication, Seller shall indemnify each Purchaser Indemnified Party and hold them harmless from and against (i) any income Taxes of Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Entities) for any taxable period, and (ii) all Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which are addressed in Section 9.01(d)) of the Acquired Entities for all taxable periods ending on or before the Calculation Date and the portion through the end of the Calculation Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Calculation Date (including for the avoidance of doubt any Taxes resulting from any reorganization or restructuring of Seller or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities) prior to a Closing) (each, a “Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period”), in each case, to the extent such Taxes were not taken into account in the calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment (as finally determined). Purchaser shall be responsible for, and indemnify Seller from and against, any Tax due with respect to the Acquired Entities that is attributable to a taxable period beginning after the Calculation Date and that portion of any Straddle Period (as defined below) that begins on the day after the Calculation Date. For this purpose, any transactions effected on the Calculation Date, but after the Calculation that are outside the ordinary course of business and that are not expressly contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated as if they occurred on the day after the Calculation Date.

(b)In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Calculation Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, or payroll of an Acquired Entity for the Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Calculation Date, while in the case of all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes and other Taxes and similar obligations of an Acquired Entity that are due or become due for Straddle Periods, such Taxes and obligations shall be apportioned to Seller for the Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period of such Straddle Period, and the amount of such Taxes and obligations of an Acquired Entity that relate to the Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes and obligations for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Calculation Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate in assuring that such Taxes and obligations that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to Section 9.01(a) are paid by Seller. If any refund, rebate or similar payment is received by any Acquired Entity, and/or Purchaser for any Taxes, then to the extent such refund, rebate or payment relates to a Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Calculation Date, as determined in accordance with the same principles provided for in this Section 9.01(b)) of such Acquired Entity it shall be for the benefit of Seller, and such Acquired Entity or Purchaser (as applicable) shall pay over the amount of such refund, rebate or payment (including interest thereon paid by the relevant Governmental Authority or other taxing authority) to Seller within ten (10) Business Days following receipt thereof.

(c)For any Taxes Returns that relate to a taxable period ending on or before the applicable Closing Date, Seller shall timely prepare and file, or shall cause to be timely prepared and filed, with the appropriate authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Acquired Entities. For any Tax Return covering a period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date, (A) Purchaser shall cause such Tax Return to be prepared and shall deliver a draft of such Tax Return to Seller, for its review and comment at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such Tax Return, (B) Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate and consult with each other in order to finalize such Tax Return and Purchaser shall take into account any reasonable comments provided by Seller, and (C) thereafter Purchaser shall cause such Tax Return to be executed and timely filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority.

(d)All sales, use transfer, real property transfer, recording, stock transfer, value-added and other similar Taxes and fees (“Transfer Taxes”), if any, arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by Purchaser; provided, however, that (1) any Transfer Taxes resulting from any reorganization or restructuring of Seller or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities) prior to a Closing shall be borne 100% by Seller and (2) any Transfer Taxes resulting from either Bishop Hill Project Company or California Ridge Project Company being treated as a “real estate entity” under 35 ILCS 200/31-5 shall be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Seller. Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with such Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed by the Party primarily or customarily responsible under applicable local Law for filing such Tax Returns, and such party will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Tax Returns to the other Party at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date such Tax Returns are due to be filed.

(e)Purchaser and Seller shall provide each other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by the others in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or other examination by any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liabilities for Taxes relating to the Acquired Entities. Such assistance shall include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of material provided hereunder and shall include providing copies of relevant tax returns and supporting material. The Party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the assisting Party for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing assistance. Purchaser and Seller will retain for the full period of any statute of limitations and provide the others with any records or information which may be relevant to such preparation, audit, examination, proceeding or determination. Purchaser shall not (and, after the Closing, shall cause the Acquired Entities not to) file any amended Tax Returns or make, change or revoke any elections, in each case, with respect to any Acquired Entity for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the applicable Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the Seller, unless otherwise required by Law.

9.02 Allocation of Purchase Price.

No later than sixty (60) calendar days following each Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a proposed schedule (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price paid at such closing among the assets of BH Class B Holdings and CR Class B Holdings and the interests of IPB Holdings, RSW Class B Holdings and PB Expansion Class B Holdings acquired at such Closing. The Purchaser, the Seller and the Acquired Entities shall report for Tax purposes and file Tax Returns (including Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code) in a manner consistent with the final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser’s cost for the assets of BH Class B Holding and CR Class B Holdings and the interest in IPB Holdings, RSW Class B Holdings and PB Expansion Class B Holdings that it is deemed to acquire may differ from the total amount allocated hereunder to reflect the inclusion in the total cost of items (for example, capitalized acquisition costs) not included in the amount so allocated, (ii) the amount realized by Seller may differ from the total amount allocated hereunder to reflect transaction costs that reduce the amount realized for federal income tax purposes, and (iii) that neither Seller or any of its Affiliates nor Purchaser or any of its Affiliates will be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation of the Purchase Price by a Governmental Authority. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated among the assets of BH Class B Holdings and CR Class B Holdings and the interests in IPB Holdings, RSW Class B Holdings and PB Expansion Class B Holdings (as applicable) for purposes of the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule in accordance with this Section 9.02 except to the extent applicable Law requires otherwise.

9.03 Tax Contests.

Purchaser shall inform Seller of the commencement of any audit, examination or proceeding relating in whole or in part to Taxes for which Seller is responsible to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to any such Tax, Seller will have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to control (in the case of a Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period) or participate in (in the case of a Straddle Period) the prosecution, settlement or compromise

of any proceeding involving the Tax, provided that Seller shall have promptly notified Purchaser in writing of its intention to control or participate in such Tax Contest. Purchaser will (and will cause the Acquired Entity to) take such action in connection with any such proceeding that Seller reasonably requests, including the selection of counsel and experts and the execution of powers of attorney. Purchaser will (and will cause the Acquired Entity to) inform Seller promptly, and send Seller copies promptly upon receipt, of any notice of an audit, examination, claim or assessment for any Tax for which Seller is responsible and keep Seller informed of progress in the proceedings and allow Seller to attend any meetings and scheduled calls with the Governmental Authorities to the extent Seller is not controlling the proceedings. Purchaser shall not settle, consent to the entry of a judgment of or compromise any audit, examination or proceeding relating to Taxes for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Seller. To the extent that there is an inconsistently between Section 11.06 and this Section 9.03 as it relates to a Tax Contest, the provisions of Section 9.03 shall govern.

9.04 Tax Characterization.

In accordance with Revenue Ruling 99-5, 1999-1 C.B. 434, Situation 1, the Parties intend for the acquisition of the interests in BH Class B Holdings and CR Class B Holdings to be treated, and shall treat such transactions, for federal income Tax purposes as the purchase by Purchaser of a 90.1% undivided interest in each of the assets of BH Class B Holdings and CR Class B Holdings from the Seller, followed by a contribution of the Purchaser’s interest in such assets and the Seller’s remaining interest in such assets to each of BH Class B Holdings and CR Class B Holdings (each as a newly formed partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes). With respect to the acquisition of the interests in the Acquired Partnerships, each of the Parties hereto agrees that, for each taxable year in which a Closing Date occurs, all income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and other tax incidents resulting from the operations of the Acquired Partnerships shall be allocated, as between Seller and Purchaser, using the “closing of the books” method permitted by Treasury Regulations and Code § 706. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a copy of the statement required under Treasury Regulations § 1.751-1(a)(3) setting forth in reasonable detail a good faith calculation of the amount of any gain or loss attributable to Code § 751 property, and the amount of any gain or loss attributable to capital gain or loss on the sale of the partnership interests in the applicable Acquired Partnerships. Each of the Parties agree that each party hereto shall file all its federal income Tax Returns consistent with the foregoing and (ii) the Parties shall make no elections or take any actions inconsistent with the such treatment unless otherwise required by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all of the Parties’ post-Closing covenants shall survive until performed.

11.04 Limitations on Claims.

(a) Subject to Section 11.04(b), an Indemnifying Party shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party until the aggregate of all such Losses exceeds one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price actually paid by Purchaser as of the relevant date (the “Deductible), at which time the Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all amounts in excess of the Deductible.

(b) The aggregate liability of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE 11 shall be limited to an amount equal to fifteen (15%) of the Purchase Price actually paid by Purchaser as of the relevant date (the “Cap”) unless arising from breach of any Fundamental Representation or any covenant, in which case the aggregate liability of the Indemnifying Party shall not exceed one hundred (100%) of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the Deductible and Cap shall not apply to any claim for indemnification pursuant to (i) Section 11.01 or Section 11.02 in respect of any claim involving fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or willful misconduct or any breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.14 or (ii) Section 11.01(ii), Section 11.01(iii) or Section 11.01(iv).

11.05 Procedure for Indemnification.

(a) Notice. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification under this ARTICLE 11, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim. In the event of any such claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or legal proceedings by

a third party, the notice shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom.

(b) Settlement of Losses. The Indemnified Party shall not settle, consent to the entry of a judgment of or compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Indemnifying Party.

11.06 Rights of Indemnifying Party.

(a)Right to Assume the Defense. In connection with any claim which may give rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a Person other than the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party, may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, which defense shall be prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settlement in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party may not assume such defense if it would be a material conflict of interest or materially adverse to the interests of the Indemnified Party.

(b)Procedure. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall (i) select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such claims or legal proceedings, and (ii) take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof, at its sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall provide any information or authorization as may be reasonably necessary to allow the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim or legal proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its sole cost and expense, or take any other actions it reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests.

(c)Settlement of Losses. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d)Decline to Assume the Defense. If (a) the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom within thirty (30) days after the date the Indemnifying Party is notified of such claim by the Indemnified Party, (b) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (c) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, or (d) the Indemnifying Party is failing to prosecute or defend such claim in good faith, then: (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation, at the sole cost and expense (which cost and expense shall be reasonable) of the Indemnifying Party, in such manner as it may deem reasonably appropriate, including settling such claim or litigation, subject to the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its sole cost and expense.

11.07 Exclusive Remedy.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained herein, (i) the indemnities set forth in this ARTICLE 11 shall become effective as of the Initial Closing Date except for indemnities related the Acquired Entities to be acquired at the Subsequent Closing which shall become effective as of the Subsequent Closing and (ii) except as provided in Article 9, Section 6.04 or Section 13.03, if the Initial Closing shall occur the indemnities set forth in this ARTICLE 11 shall be the exclusive remedies of Purchaser and Seller and their respective members, officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates due to breach or misrepresentation of, or inaccuracy in, a representation or warranty, nonfulfillment or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and the Parties shall not be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement or to any further indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever in respect thereof, all of which the Parties hereto hereby waive.

11.08 Indemnity Treatment.

Any amount of indemnification payable pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE 11 shall to the extent possible, be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax and all other applicable purposes.

11.09 Payment of Claims.

All indemnity claims shall be paid by an Indemnifying Party in immediately available funds within twenty (20) days after its receipt of the corresponding claims under Section 11.03 (the “Indemnity Payment Date”) unless any such claim is disputed in good faith by the Indemnifying Party within such twenty (20) day period. If an Indemnifying Party so disputes any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall make payment of any amount of such claim which is not disputed by not later than the Indemnity Payment Date, and shall withhold payment of the disputed amount of such claim until final determination of liability with respect to such claim in accordance with this Agreement, whereupon the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount so determined to be owed.

ARTICLE 12
TERMINATION

12.01 Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Initial Closing as follows:

(i) by mutual written consent of the Purchaser and the Seller;

(ii) by either Seller or Purchaser if the Initial Closing has not occurred on or before December 15th, 2015 (the “Termination Date”) and the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not caused by a breach of this Agreement by the terminating party;

(iii) by Purchaser if there has been a breach by Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement which (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.01(a) or 7.01(b), and (ii) either (x) cannot be cured prior to the Termination Date, or (y) is a breach of Seller’s obligations to transfer the Acquired Interests at the Closing in accordance with this Agreement;

(iv) by Seller if there has been a breach by Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement which (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(b), and (ii) either (x) cannot be cured prior to the Termination Date, or (y) is a breach of Purchaser’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price at the Closing in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) If the Subsequent Closing has not occurred on or before July 1, 2016 (the “Subsequent Termination Date”) and the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not caused by a breach of this Agreement regarding the Subsequent Closing by the terminating party, either Seller or Purchaser may terminate all the obligations of the Seller and the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Subsequent Closing. In such case, all the provisions of this Agreement regarding the Subsequent Acquired Interests, the Subsequent Purchase Price and the Subsequent Closing shall become with no force and effect and there will be no liability or obligation on the part of either Seller or Purchaser (or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates) in respect of such provisions.

12.02 Effect of Termination.

(a) If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 12.01, this Agreement will forthwith become null and void, and there will be no liability or obligation on the part of either Seller or Purchaser (or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates) in respect of this Agreement, except that the applicable portions of Article 1, this Section 12.02, and the entirety of 13.05, 13.06 and 13.15 will continue to apply following any termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 12.02 shall release any Party from liability for any breach in this Agreement by such Party prior to the termination of this Agreement (and any attempted termination by the breaching Party shall be void).

(b) Upon termination of this Agreement by a Party for any reason, Purchaser shall, at Seller’s request, return or destroy all documents and other materials of Seller relating to the applicable Acquired Entities, the assets of BH Class B Holdings, CR Class B Holdings, IPB Holdings, RSW Class B Holdings and PB Expansion Class B Holdings and the transactions contemplated hereby.

No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.

The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each Party and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the Parties to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other Person other than any Person entitled to indemnity under ARTICLE 9 or ARTICLE 11, except that the Financing Sources shall be third party beneficiaries of Section 13.08, this Section 13.09, and Sections 13.12, 13.13, 13.14 and 13.21 hereof, in each case solely as such Sections relate to the Financing Sources.

13.10 Assignment.

The obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are not assignable without the prior written consent of the other Party, which such Party may withhold in its discretion; provided however, that (a) any such assignment to an Affiliate of the Purchaser or Seller following the Closing shall not require consent so long as the guaranties provided by the assignor party remain in full force and effect and are applicable to such Affiliate assignee, and (b) any such assignee parties agree to be bound by this Agreement and such assignment shall not relieve the assignor party from its obligations hereunder. The Original Purchaser Parent Guaranty may, without the prior written consent of Seller, be replaced with a guaranty substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I with SunEdison, Inc. or such other creditworthy guarantor acceptable to the Seller in its sole discretion as guarantor thereunder (the “Replacement Purchaser Parent Guaranty”).

Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.

Seller or Purchaser may, at its option, include in the Disclosure Schedules items that are not material in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and any such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment or representation that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement. In no event shall the inclusion of any matter in the Disclosure Schedules be deemed or interpreted to broaden Seller’s or Purchaser’s representations, warranties, covenants or

agreements contained in this Agreement. The mere inclusion of an item in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed an admission by Seller or Purchaser that such item represents a material exception or fact, event, or circumstance.

The information and disclosures contained in each schedule of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in each of the other schedules of the Disclosure Schedules only if there is an explicit cross-reference thereto.

13.18 Facsimile Signature; Counterparts.

1.	Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations);


2.	Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);


3.	Transferor owns 100% of the membership interest in Invenergy Wind Operating I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IWO I”) that is a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);


4.	IWO I owns 100% of the membership interest in Invenergy Wind Global LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”) that is a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);


5.	Transferor's U.S. employer identification number is [20-0783399]; and


6.	Seller's office address is shown below.
