AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

This Agreement is made and entered into as of June 7, 2007 by and among Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Geothermal LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Purchaser Entity”) and Xxxxxx-OPC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Xxxxxx Brothers Purchaser Entity”, and together with Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Purchaser Entity, the “Purchasers”) and Ormat Nevada, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), for the sale by the Seller to the Purchasers of all of the Class B Membership Interests (as defined below) of OPC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”).

In consideration of the respective representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, and conditions hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINED TERMS

1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in Annex I hereto, and the rules of interpretation set forth in Annex I hereto shall apply to this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2

SALE AND PURCHASE OF MEMBERSHIP INTEREST

2.1 Agreement to Sell and Buy. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchasers on the Initial Closing Date, and each Purchaser shall severally and not jointly purchase on the Initial Closing Date, such Class B Membership Interests in the Company set forth opposite each Purchaser’s name on Schedule 2.1 hereto, for the aggregate consideration in Section 2.2.

2.2 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Class B Membership Interests being purchased under this Agreement will be:

(a) Initial Closing Payment: a payment on the Initial Closing Date comprised of a payment by (x) the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Purchaser Entity of $50,260,000 and (y) the Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. Purchaser Entity of $21,540,000 (collectively, the “Initial Closing Payment”), in each case made by wire transfer of immediately available United States dollars to such account or accounts as Seller may designate in a written notice given to Purchasers not later than two Business Days before the Initial Closing Date.

(b) Galena 3 Closing Payment:

(i) a payment on the Galena 3 Closing Date in the aggregate amount currently estimated to be $46,600,000 comprised of a payment by (x) the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Purchaser Entity of an amount currently estimated to be $32,620,000, and (y) the Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. Purchaser Entity of an amount currently estimated to be $13,980,000, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.2(b)(ii) below (the “Galena 3 Closing

Payment”), in each case made by wire transfer of immediately available United States dollars to such account or accounts as Seller may designate in a written notice given to Purchasers not later than two Business Days before the Galena 3 Closing Date.

(ii) immediately prior to the Galena 3 Closing Date, the Base Case Model will be rerun, on the same basis and using the same methodology and principles as were used to prepare the Base Case Model, to determine the actual Galena 3 Closing Payment, but revised to reflect (i) the actual Galena 3 Commercial Operations Date, (ii) the appraised fair market value of the Galena 3 Project and the adjusted depreciation deduction resulting therefrom, and (iii) any change in allocation ratios if the IRS has announced a “safe harbor” for partnership flip transactions before the Galena 3 Closing Date that requires such a shift. The revised Base Case Model will then be used to determine an adjustment to the Galena 3 Closing Payment, which when considering the timing of such payments will leave the Purchasers with the same Target Internal Rate of Return (as defined in the Company LLC Agreement) projected on the Initial Closing Date assuming no other change in the Base Case Model. The adjustment will be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for the Class B Membership Interests. Attached as Schedule 2.2(b)(ii) is a sample pro forma showing examples of the purchase price adjustment set forth above.

2.3 Initial Closing. The initial closing of the purchase and sale of the Class B Membership Interests (the “Initial Closing”) will take place (i) at the offices of Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP in New York, New York at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) (the “Effective Time”) on the date (the “Initial Closing Date”) upon which all of the conditions in Section 2.6 and Section 2.7 have either been satisfied or, in the case of conditions not satisfied, waived in writing by the Party entitled to the benefit of such conditions or (ii) at such other place and time as Purchasers and Seller may agree in writing but not later than June 30, 2007, subject to one 30-day extension, by mutual agreement of the Parties. The rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder and under the documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.6 and Section 2.7 shall not take effect until the Effective Time and such documents shall be of no force and effect until the Initial Closing is consummated.

2.4 Galena 3 Closing. The Galena 3 Closing will take place (i) at the offices of Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP in New York, New York at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) (the “Galena 3 Effective Time”) on the date (the “Galena 3 Closing Date”) upon which all of the conditions in Section 2.8 and Section 2.9 have either been satisfied or, in the case of conditions not satisfied, waived in writing by the Party entitled to the benefit of such conditions or (ii) at such other place and time as Purchasers and Seller may agree in writing but not later than April 30, 2008, subject to one 30-day extension, by mutual agreement of the Parties.

2.5 No Obligation of Seller with Respect to Galena 3. Purchasers acknowledge that while Seller has advised Purchasers of its present intention to construct the Galena 3 Project, Seller and its Affiliates shall be entitled to pursue, direct and make decisions regarding the development of the Galena 3 Project in their sole discretion, and that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to construct the Galena 3 Project. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller or its Affiliates do complete the construction of the Galena 3 Project prior to April 30, 2008, Seller is obligated to convey its membership interests in ORNI 14 to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers severally and not jointly represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

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

-19-

by Purchaser of Purchaser obligations hereunder and thereunder will not, (i) violate any Applicable Law, (ii) conflict with or cause a breach of any provision of its Organizational Documents or (iii) cause a breach of, constitute a default under, cause the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, or require any authorization, consent, waiver or approval under any contract, license, instrument, decree, judgment or other arrangement to which Purchaser is a party or under which it is bound or to which any of its assets are subject (or result in the imposition of a Lien upon any such assets), except (in the case of this clause (iii)) for any that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Purchaser acknowledges that any financial projections that may have been provided to it are based on assumptions of future operating results developed by Seller and Seller’s advisers and, therefore, represent an estimate of future results based on assumptions about certain events (many of which are beyond the control of Seller, the Company and the Project Companies). Purchaser understands that no assurances or representations can be given that the actual results of the operations of the Company and the Project Companies will conform to the projected results for any period.

(a) Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Purchaser Indemnified Costs; provided, however, that, except with respect to Purchaser Indemnified Costs resulting from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to pay any amount due to Purchaser Indemnified Parties under any Transaction Document, in no event shall Seller’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed 50% of the Purchase Price (or portion thereof) that it has received as of the date such indemnification obligation arises, less any amounts paid as damages by Seller under the Company LLC Agreement.

(b) Purchasers agree to severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Seller Indemnified Costs; provided, however, that, except with respect to Seller Indemnified Costs resulting from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to pay any amount due to Seller Indemnified Parties under any Transaction Document, in no event shall each Purchaser’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed 50% of the sum of the Purchase Price (or portion thereof) paid by such Purchaser as of the date such indemnification obligation arises, less any amounts paid as damages by such Purchaser under the Company LLC Agreement.

(c) No claim for indemnification may be made with respect to any breach (other than failure to pay an amount due) unless and until the aggregate amount of claims for which indemnification is (or previously has been) sought exceeds $500,000; provided that, once such threshold amount of claims has been reached, the relevant Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified for all such claims, including amounts that were not previously paid because such threshold amount had not been reached.

6.2 Direct Claims. In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under Section 6.1 which is not subject to Section 6.3 because no Third Party Claim is involved, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any amounts which such Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms of this Article 6. The failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a

-23-

waiver of such claim, except to the extent the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.

6.3 Third Party Claims. An Indemnified Party shall give written notice to any Indemnifying Party within 30 days after it has actual knowledge of commencement or assertion of any action, proceeding, demand, or claim by a third party (collectively, a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under Section 6.1. Such notice shall state the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim and the events and the amounts thereof to the extent known. Any failure so to notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article 6, except to the extent the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices such Indemnifying Party. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party, so long as it has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party that it is liable to the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such Third Party Claim or such Third Party Claim entails a material risk of criminal penalties or civil fines or non-monetary sanctions being imposed on the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Penalty Claim”), to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than as expressly provided below in this Section 6.3; provided nothing contained herein shall permit any Indemnifying Party to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving Purchasers or any Affiliate of Purchasers, or permit Purchasers to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving Seller or any Affiliate of Seller other than the Company; and, provided, further, the Parties agree that the handling of any tax contests involving the Company will be governed by Section 7.7 of the Company LLC Agreement. In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party advises an Indemnified Party that it will not contest a claim for indemnification hereunder, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails, within 30 days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such Indemnified Party of its election, to defend, settle or compromise, at is sole cost and expense, any such Third Party Claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense) or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such Third Party Claim or the action or claim is a Third Party Penalty Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim or Third Party Claim. In any event, unless and until the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense; provided that any such participation of the Indemnified Party shall be at

-24-

the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense to the extent such participation relates to a Third Party Penalty Claim or if a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of the Third Party Claim; and, provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for the costs and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised at all times as to the status of the defense; provided, however, that the failure to keep the Indemnifying Party so informed shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.3 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof which imposes any criminal liability or civil fine or sanction or equitable remedy on the Indemnified Party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party, a release from all liability in respect of such claim.

6.4 After-Tax Basis. For tax reporting purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by the Code, each Party will agree to treat all amounts paid under any of the provisions of this Article 6 as an adjustment to the purchase price for the Class B Membership Interests (or otherwise as a non-taxable reimbursement, contribution or return of capital, as the case may be). To the extent any such indemnification payment is includable as income of the Indemnified Party as determined by agreement of the Parties, or if there is no agreement, by an opinion of a nationally-recognized tax counsel selected jointly by the Parties that such amount is "more likely than not" includable as income of the recipient, the amount of the payment shall be increased by the amount of any federal income tax required to be paid by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates on the receipt or accrual of the indemnification payment, including, for this purpose, the amount of any such Tax required to be paid by the Indemnified Party on the receipt or accrual of the additional amount required to be added to such payment pursuant to this Section 6.4, assuming full taxability, using an assumed tax rate equal to the highest marginal income tax rate applicable to corporations generally (currently 35 percent). Both Parties shall have the opportunity to comment on the opinion delivered in accordance with the foregoing sentence. If an opinion is delivered in accordance with this Section 6.4, the Indemnified Party shall report the relevant indemnification payments as income consistent with such opinion and otherwise act in a manner consistent with such opinion. Any payment made under this Article 6 shall be reduced by the present value (as determined on the basis of a discount rate equal to 8% percent per annum and the same assumptions about taxability and tax rates) of any federal income tax benefit to be realized by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates by reason of the facts and circumstances giving rise to such indemnification.

6.5 No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Article 6 shall be determined without duplication of recovery. Without limiting the generality of the prior sentence, if a statement of facts, condition or event constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is subject to the indemnification obligation in Section 6.1, only one recovery of Purchaser Indemnified Costs or Seller Indemnified Costs, as applicable, shall be allowed.

-25-

6.6 Sole Remedy. The remedies of the Parties under this Article 6 are the sole and exclusive remedies that a Party may have under this Agreement for the recovery of monetary damages with respect to any breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement or any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement other than (1) fraud or willful misconduct and (2) as provided in the Company LLC Agreement with respect to the calculation of the Target Internal Rate of Return.

6.7 Survival. All representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive until the final date for any assertion of claims as forth in Section 6.8.

6.8 Final Date for Assertion of Indemnity Claims. (a) All claims by a Purchaser Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 resulting from breaches of representations or warranties shall be forever barred unless Seller is notified on or prior to the Initial Closing Date, or on or prior to the Galena 3 Closing Date with respect to those representations and warranties made as a condition precedent to the Galena 3 Closing, except that (i) (x) the representations and warranties made as a condition precedent to the Initial Closing and set forth in Sections 3.1(a)(i) (Organization, Good Standing, Etc. of Seller), 3.1(a)(ii) (Organization, Good Standing, Etc. of the Company and Project Companies), 3.1(a)(iii) (Authority) and 3.1(a)(vi) (Ownership) shall survive indefinitely, (y) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(a)(ix) (Tax Matters) and 3.1(a)(xxiii) (Tax Character) shall survive for 60 days after the applicable statute of limitations and (z) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(a)(xiii) (Environmental Matters) shall survive for two years from the Initial Closing Date; (ii) (x) the representations and warranties made as a condition precedent to the Galena 3 Closing Date and set forth in Sections 3.1(b)(i) (Organization, Good Standing, Etc. of Seller), 3.1(b)(ii) (Organization, Good Standing, Etc. of ORNI 14) and 3.1(b)(iii) (Authority) shall survive indefinitely, (y) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(b)(vii) (Tax Matters) and 3.1(b)(xx) (Tax Character) shall survive for 60 days after the applicable statute of limitations and (z) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(b)(x) (Environmental Matters) shall survive for two years from the Galena 3 Closing Date; and (iii) the representations and warranties made in Section 4.5 (Post Closing Deliverables) shall survive for 90 days after the Date Certain.

(b) All claims by a Seller Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 resulting from breaches of representations or warranties shall be forever barred unless Purchasers are notified on or prior to the Initial Closing Date or on or prior to the Galena 3 Closing Date with respect to those representations and warranties made as a condition precedent to the Galena 3 Closing; provided, that, if written notice of a claim for indemnification has been given by such Seller Indemnified Party on or prior to the Initial Closing Date or the Galena 3 Closing Date with respect to those representations and warranties made as a condition precedent to the Galena 3 Closing, then the obligation of the Purchasers to indemnify such Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 6 shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved.

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

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

(b) Net of Insurance Benefits. All Losses shall be limited to the amount of actual out-of-pocket damages sustained by the Indemnified Party by reason of any breach or nonperformance hereunder, net of insurance recoveries from insurance policies of the Project Companies (including under the existing title policies).

(c) No Consequential Damages. Indemnified Costs shall not include, and the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Parties for or in respect of any punitive, consequential or exemplary damages of any nature including, but not limited to, damages for lost profits or revenues or the loss or use of such profits or revenue, loss by reason of plant shutdown or inability to operate at rated capacity, increased operating expenses of plant or equipment, increased costs of purchasing or providing equipment, materials, labor, services, costs of replacement, power or capital, debt service fees or penalties, inventory or use charges, damages to reputation, damages for lost opportunities, or claims of any of the Project Companies’ customers, members or affiliates, regardless of whether said claim is based upon contract, warranty, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or other theory of law.

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

7.2 Disclosure Schedules. Any matter disclosed in any section of the Schedules shall be deemed disclosed for all purposes and all sections of the Schedules to the extent it is readily apparent from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections.

For all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of determining whether

-27-

the conditions set forth in Sections 2.6 and 2.8 have been fulfilled, the Schedules shall be deemed to include information contained therein on the Execution Date and shall also be deemed to include all information contained in any supplement or amendment to the Schedules; unless, solely with respect to ORNI 14, anything disclosed therein with respect to ORNI 14 would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect solely on the Galena 3 Project, determined at the reasonable discretion of the Purchasers.

7.4 Severability.

Environmental Matters

Our Steamboat Hills Project was recently advised by the Washoe County Water Department that certain changes had been observed in the course of the County’s monitoring of well chemistry and was asked to explain why this was occurring. In the course of our investigation, we discovered that a liner in a geothermal fluid injection well failed, resulting in injection of the spent geothermal fluid at a higher depth than the designed and permitted depth for such injection. The Washoe County Water Department and the State of Nevada have also indicated their concern that the injection well may be situated near a geological fault, which may also be causing the movement of injected fluid into a higher zone of the groundwater aquifer. We engaged an outside geothermal consultant to examine the situation and have since completed the well repair work. We have agreed with the State of Nevada to conduct an expanded monitoring program and to continue to study the issue. If it should be determined that the injection well location is not acceptable, it may be necessary to drill a new injection well to manage the spent geothermal fluids.
