Section 4.01 Existence. Such Purchaser is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its state of formation, with all necessary power and authority to own properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted.

or authorization of such Purchaser is required. Each of the Transaction Documents to which such Purchaser is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser, where applicable, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser; provided that, with respect to each such agreement, the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium, or similar Laws from time to time in effect affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 4.03 No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which such Purchaser is a party by such Purchaser and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Purchaser is subject, (b) conflict with or result in any violation of the provisions of the Organizational Documents of such Purchaser, or (c) violate any Law of any Governmental Authority or body having jurisdiction over such Purchaser or the property or assets of such Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (a) and (c), for such conflicts, breaches, violations, or defaults as would not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Transaction Documents.

No fees or commissions are or will be payable by such Purchaser to brokers, finders, or investment bankers with respect to the purchase of any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for fees or commissions for which the Company and NEP are not responsible.

Section 4.05 Unregistered Securities.

(a) Accredited Investor Status; Sophisticated Purchaser. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act and is able to bear the risk of its investment in the Purchased Units and, with respect to each Class B Purchaser, any Issued NEP Non-Voting Units and Conversion Units, as may be applicable. Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Purchased Units and, with respect to each Class B Purchaser, the holding of any Issued NEP Non-Voting Units or Conversion Units, as applicable.

(b) Information. Such Purchaser and its Representatives have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of each of the Company and NEP that have been requested and any materials that have been requested by such Purchaser relating to the offer and sale of the Purchased Units and the issuance of any Issued NEP Non-Voting Units or Conversion Units. Such Purchaser and its Representatives have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of each of the Company and NEP. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted at any time by such Purchaser and its Representatives shall modify, amend, or affect such Purchaser’s right (i) to rely on the Company’s or NEP’s, as applicable, representations and warranties contained in Article III above or (ii) to indemnification or any other remedy based on, or with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in any Transaction Document. Such Purchaser understands that its purchase of the Purchased Units involves a high degree of risk.

Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal, and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Purchased Units.

(c) Residency. Such Purchaser shall cooperate reasonably with the Company or NEP, as applicable, to provide any information necessary for any applicable securities filings in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Legends.

(i) Issued NEP Non-Voting Units. Such Purchaser understands that any Issued NEP Non-Voting Units will bear a restrictive legend as shall be provided in the Amended NEP Partnership Agreement.

(ii) Conversion Units. Such Purchaser understands that, until such time as any Conversion Units have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or the Conversion Units are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Conversion Units will bear a restrictive legend as provided in the Amended NEP Partnership Agreement.

(e) Purchase Representation. Such Purchaser is purchasing the Purchased Units for its own account and not with a view to distribution in violation of any securities laws. Such Purchaser has been advised and understands that none of the Purchased Units, any Issued NEP Non-Voting Units, or any Conversion Units have been registered under the Securities Act or under the “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act (or if eligible, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act). Such Purchaser has been advised and understands that the Company, in issuing the Purchased Units, and NEP in agreeing to issue any Issued NEP Non-Voting Units or Conversion Units, are relying upon, among other things, the representations and warranties of such Purchaser contained in this Article IV in concluding that such issuance is a “private offering” and is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

(f) Rule 144. Such Purchaser understands that there is no public trading market for the Purchased Units, that none is expected to develop and that the Purchased Units must be held indefinitely unless and until (i) Issued NEP Non-Voting Units are issued upon exercise of the Call Option, the NEP Change of Control Option, or the Class B COC Option, (ii) such Issued NEP Non-Voting Units converted into Conversion Units, and (iii) such Conversion Units are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Such Purchaser has been advised of and is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

(g) Reliance by the Company and NEP. Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Units (and subsequently, any Issued NEP Non-Voting Units and Conversion Units that may be issued) are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities Laws and that the Company and NEP are

relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments, and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Purchased Units, any Issued NEP Non-Voting Units and any Conversion Units.

Section 4.06 Sufficient Funds.

(a) The Class A Purchaser will have available to it at the Closing sufficient funds to enable it to pay in full at the Closing the entire amount of the Class A Purchase Price in immediately available cash funds.

(b) The Class B Purchasers have delivered to the Company correct and complete copies of (i) the executed Credit Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits thereto, and any related fee letters (subject to customary redaction of fees and flex provisions, but only to the extent relating exclusively to pricing terms by the Financing Parties party thereto) in connection therewith), among the Class B Purchasers and lenders party thereto, pursuant to which the lenders party thereto have severally committed to provide the debt financing set forth therein in an aggregate amount of at least five hundred million U.S. dollars ($500,000,000.00) at the Closing (“Debt Financing”), and (ii) the executed equity commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter,” and the equity financing set forth therein (“Equity Financing,” and together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”)) from the Sponsor to provide Equity Financing of at least two hundred seventy million U.S. dollars ($270,000,000.00) at the Closing. The Equity Commitment Letter provides that each of the Company and NEP is a third party beneficiary thereof.

(c) As of the date of this Agreement, (i) each of the Credit Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and has not been amended or modified in any respect and (ii) the respective commitments contained in the Credit Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, modified, reduced, or rescinded in any respect. As of the date hereof, each of the Credit Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Class B Purchasers and, to the Knowledge of the Class B Purchasers, each of the Credit Agreement and the Equity Commitment constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the applicable Financing Parties, or Sponsors, as applicable, to provide the Financing contemplated thereby, subject, in each case, only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein in accordance with the terms thereof, except, in each case, as may be limited by Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). There are no side letters, other agreements, or other arrangements that would permit the applicable parties to the Credit Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter to reduce the amount of the Financing or that would otherwise adversely affect the availability of the Financing on the Closing Date. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of the Class B Purchasers under the Credit Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or, to the Knowledge of the Class B Purchasers, any other party to the Credit Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter. The Class B Purchasers have fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Credit Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter, any related fee letter, and any other

document entered into in connection with, or related thereto, to be paid on or before the date of this Agreement.

(d) The aggregate proceeds from the Financing, assuming such proceeds are funded in accordance with the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter and the Credit Agreement plus the Commitment Fee (to the extent payable), constitute all of the financing required by the Class B Purchasers to consummate the transactions, and satisfy their obligations, contemplated by this Agreement, including the payment of the Class B Purchase Price at the Closing and payment of all fees and expenses of the Class B Purchasers due and payable at the Closing. The Credit Agreement contains all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the Financing Parties thereunder to make the Debt Financing contemplated thereby available to Class B Purchasers at or prior to the Closing, and there are no other conditions precedent to such funding. The Equity Commitment Letter contains all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the Sponsor to make the Equity Financing available to Class B Purchasers at or prior to the Closing, and there are no other conditions precedent to such funding.

Section 4.07 Title to Class B Purchased Units. The Class A Purchaser will be, immediately prior to the Class B Units Sale, the record and beneficial owner of, and will have valid title to, the Class B Purchased Units listed on Section I of Schedule A opposite the Class A Purchaser’s name, free and clear of all Liens and restrictions on transfer, other than (a) restrictions on transfer under the A&R LLC Agreement or applicable state and federal securities Laws and (b) such Liens as arise under the Delaware LLC Act. At the time of the Class B Unit Sale, the Class A Purchaser will have the requisite right, title, power and authority to sell, assign, convey and transfer the Class B Purchased Units as provided in this Agreement, and, immediately following the Closing, the Class A Purchaser will convey to the Class B Purchaser good and valid title to the Class B Purchased Units, which will constitute all of the issued and outstanding Class B Units of the Company, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions on transfer under the A&R LLC Agreement or applicable state and federal securities Laws and such Liens as arise under the Delaware LLC Act).

Section 4.08 No Side Agreements. Other than the Initial LLC Agreement, there are no binding agreements by, among, or between the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than the Transaction Documents.

Section 5.05 Class B Purchaser Financing.

(a) The Class B Purchasers shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, and cause to be taken, all actions and to do, and to cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable to arrange, consummate and obtain (i) the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Equity Commitment Letter and (ii) the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Credit Agreement, in each case, on the Closing Date, including (A) using reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect the Equity Commitment Letter and the Credit Agreement, (B) using reasonable best efforts to timely negotiate and enter into any additional definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on terms and conditions contemplated by the Credit Agreement (any such agreements, collectively with the Credit Agreement, the “Financing Definitive Agreements”), (C) satisfying or causing to be waived on a timely basis all conditions to funding the Financing that are applicable to the Class B Purchasers, and to each Class B Purchaser, in such Equity Commitment Letter and the Financing Definitive Agreements that are within their, and as to each Class B Purchaser, its, control, (D) using reasonable best efforts to consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, (E) enforcing their rights under the Equity Commitment Letter and the Credit Agreement, and (F) if the conditions set forth in Section 2.05 and Section 2.06 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction and/or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), consummating the Financing at the Closing . The Class B Purchasers shall not amend, amend and restate, replace, supplement, or otherwise modify or waive any of their rights under the Equity Commitment Letter or any Financing Definitive Agreement or substitute other debt or equity financing for all or any portion of the Debt Financing from the same or alternative financing sources; provided that the Class B Purchasers may amend, amend and restate, replace, supplement, or otherwise modify or waive any of their rights under, Financing Definitive Agreements, so long as any such amendment, replacement, supplement, or other modification to or waiver of any provisions of such Financing Definitive Agreements shall not (i) permit the syndication of the Debt Financing to parties that are not commercial banks and their Affiliates or a Class B Purchaser or Affiliates of the Class B Purchasers, (ii) expand upon the conditions precedent to the funding on the Closing Date of the Debt Financing as set forth in the Credit Agreement on the date hereof or otherwise modify the Financing Definitive Agreements in a manner that would, or would reasonably be likely to, prevent, impede, or delay the Closing, including in respect of the availability of the Debt Financing, or by releasing or consenting to the termination of any Definitive Financing Agreement prior to the first to occur of Closing and the expiration of the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms or (iii) reduce the amount of the Debt Financing or reduce the Financing Parties’ commitments under the Credit Agreement (other than as a result of an assignment of a Financing Parties’ commitment to another Financing Party) unless such reduced amount, when combined with the Equity Financing (including any increase thereto) is sufficient to satisfy the Class B Purchasers’ obligations, contemplated by this Agreement, including the payment of the Class B Purchase Price at the Closing and payment of all fees and expenses of the Class B Purchasers due and payable at the Closing.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company and NEP shall, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause each of the Company’s and NEP’s respective officers, directors, managers, employees, advisors, third party consultants, and engineers and the Company’s Subsidiaries to, cooperate, in all cases at the Class B Purchasers’ sole cost and expense upon reasonable advance notice by the Class B Purchasers in connection with the Class B Purchasers’ efforts to obtain the Debt Financing (collectively the “Financing Arrangements”) (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of NEP, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries), including (i) providing to the Class B Purchasers and the Financing Parties as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement audited financial statements relating to the 2018 Purchased Assets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and unaudited quarterly financial statements relating to the 2018 Purchased Assets for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018, and when available, for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 (it being understood that such financial statements will be provided on a project basis and not on a consolidated basis for all 2018 Purchased Assets), (ii) participating and causing appropriate senior management personnel of NEP or the Company to participate in up to three (3) meetings (and a reasonable number of telephone calls) with a reasonable number of prospective lenders under the Debt Financing in connection with the syndication thereof upon reasonable notice and at a time and location to be mutually agreed, (iii) reasonably cooperating with the due diligence efforts of the lenders that are parties to the Credit Agreement, as such due diligence relates to the Company, its Subsidiaries and the 2018 Purchased Assets or NEP, (iv) obtaining the consents and authorizations of accountants and consultants for use of their reports in any materials related to the Debt Financing, (v) cooperating in the preparation of any offering memorandum, bank book, or similar documents used in connection with the syndication and marketing of the Financing Arrangements (including the delivery of customary authorizations and representation letters for any offering memorandum or bank book), (vi) having the Company acknowledge the pledge of the Class B Units and by facilitating the Financing Parties’ perfecting any security interest therein; provided that no such action shall be effective until the Closing, and (viii) at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing (to the extent requested from the Company at least nine (9) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing), provide all documentation and other information about the Company as is reasonably requested by the Class B Purchasers, which is required with respect to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and that is required under the Credit Agreement; provided that the Company and NEP shall not (i) be required to take any action that would or would reasonably be expected to cause any director, officer, employee or other representative of the Company or NEP to incur any personal liability, (ii) be required to deliver any legal opinions or accountants’ cold comfort letters or reliance letters, (iii) be required to provide any information or other document to the extent (A) the provision thereof would or would reasonably be expected to violate a confidentiality or other agreement with a third party, violate any law, rule, regulation, court order, or other legal restriction or result in a loss of attorney-client privilege or (B) such information or document constitutes attorney work product, (iv) be required to (A) pay any commitment or other fee or (B) incur any expense in connection with compliance with this Section 5.05, (v) have any liability or any obligation under the Equity Commitment Letter or any Financing Definitive Agreement (or alternative financing that the Class B Purchasers may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), or (vi) be required to incur any other liability or obligation in connection with the Financing (or any alternative financing that the Class B Purchasers may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in

(d) The Company and NEP hereby consent to the use of the Company’s and NEP’s logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to nor reasonably likely to harm or disparage NEP or the Company or the reputation or goodwill of NEP or the Company.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Class B Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company and NEP (A) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to the Definitive Financing Agreements of which such Class B Purchaser becomes aware which could reasonably be expected to affect the availability or quantum of the Debt Financing, (B) of the receipt by such Class B Purchaser of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing Party or the Sponsor with respect to any breach (or threatened breach) or default (or any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default), or any termination or repudiation, in each case by any party to the Equity Commitment Letter or any Definitive Financing Agreements, and (C) if for any reason such Class B Purchaser at any time believes it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing to be obtained by any Class B Purchaser on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter or any Definitive Financing Agreements related to the Financing.

or NEP shall constitute the date upon which such claim has been made; and provided, further, that the aggregate liability of the Company and NEP to the Class A Purchaser and each Class B Purchaser pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 6.01 shall not be greater in amount than such Purchaser’s Class A Purchase Price or Pro Rata Share of the Class B Purchase Price, as applicable, and the aggregate liability of the Company and NEP to all Class B Purchasers pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 6.01 shall not exceed the aggregate of the Class B Purchase Price. The indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall be limited as follows: (1) the Company shall be obligated to provide indemnification solely for (y) with respect to Section 6.01(A), breaches of, and inaccuracies with respect to, those representations and warranties relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries and (z) with respect to Section 6.01(B), the breach by the Company and its Subsidiaries; and (2) NEP shall be obligated to provide indemnification solely for (y) with respect to Section 6.01(A), breaches of, and inaccuracies with respect to, those representations and warranties relating to NEP and (z) with respect to Section 6.01(B), the breach by NEP. No Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, indirect, exemplary, lost profits, speculative, or punitive damages under clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 6.01; provided, however, that such limitation shall not prevent any Purchaser Related Party from recovering under this Section 6.01 for any such damages to the extent that such damages are in the form of diminution in value or are payable to a third party in connection with any Third-Party Claims.

(b) Each of the Company and NEP agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers from and against any and all claims, demands, or liabilities for broker’s, finder’s, placement, or other similar fees or commissions incurred by the Company or NEP or alleged to have been incurred by the Company or NEP in connection with the sale of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.02 Indemnification by the Purchasers.

(a) From and after consummation of the Class B Units Sale, each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly (except that the Class B Purchasers agree severally and jointly with respect to the liability of any and all Class B Purchasers), to indemnify the Company and NEP and their respective Affiliates, partners, members, stockholders, and Representatives, and any Affiliate, member, partner, stockholder, or Representative of any of the foregoing (collectively, “NEP Related Parties”) from, costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, and to hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation, or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, promptly upon demand, to pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending, or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them), whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim, as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to (i) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by such Purchaser contained herein to be true and correct in all material respects as of the date made (except to the extent any representation or warranty includes the word “material,” Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import, with respect to which such representation or warranty, or applicable portions thereof, must have been true and correct) or (ii) the breach of any of the covenants of such Purchaser contained herein; provided that, in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i), such claim for indemnification relating to a breach

of any representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of the survival period of such representation or warranty; and provided, further, that, for purposes of determining when an indemnification claim has been made, the date upon which a NEP Related Party shall have given notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to such Purchaser shall constitute the date upon which such claim has been made; and provided, further, that the liability of each such Purchaser shall not be greater in amount than the sum of such Purchaser’s Class A Purchase Price or Class B Purchase Price, as applicable, plus any distributions paid to such Purchaser with respect to the Purchased Units. No NEP Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, indirect, exemplary, lost profits, speculative, or punitive damages under this Section 6.02; provided, however, that such limitation shall not prevent any NEP Related Party from recovering under this Section 6.02 for any such damages to the extent that such damages are in the form of diminution in value of the Purchased Units (it being understood and agreed that any change in the market price of the Conversion Units shall not in and of itself constitute diminution in value damages) or are payable to a third party in connection with any Third-Party Claims.

(b) Each Purchaser agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and NEP from and against any and all claims, demands, or liabilities for broker’s, finder’s, placement, or other similar fees or commissions incurred by such Purchaser or alleged to have been incurred by such Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.03 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought; provided, however, that failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not preclude the indemnified party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this Article VI, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02.

(b) Promptly after any NEP Related Party, Purchaser Related Party, or the Company, as applicable (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit, or proceeding by a third person which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such Third-Party Claim, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such Third-Party Claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly, and in no event later than ten (10) days, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records, and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s

possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has, within ten (10) Business Days of when the Indemnified Party provides written notice of a Third-Party Claim, failed (1) to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (2) to notify the Indemnified Party of such assumption or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.

Section 6.04 Tax Characterization. All indemnification payments under this Article VI shall be treated as adjustments to the applicable Purchaser’s Class A Purchase Price or Pro Rata Share of the Class B Purchase Price, as applicable, for all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE VII

(ii) regardless of any purported termination of this Agreement, this Section 7.02, Section 7.03, and the provisions of Article VIII shall remain operative and in full force and effect as between the Company and NEP, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, unless the Company, NEP, and the Class B Purchasers possessing the right to acquire not less than majority of the Class B Purchased Units execute a writing that expressly (with specific references to the applicable Articles, Sections, or subsections of this Agreement) terminates such rights and obligations as between the Company, NEP, and the Purchasers; and

(iii) the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with Section 8.06(a).

Section 7.03 Termination Fee.

(a) If (i) this Agreement is validly terminated by the Class A Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01(c) and the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2.03 and Section 2.04 have been satisfied or validly waived prior to such termination (other than (A) those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, but subject to those conditions being capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur on the date of termination and (B) those conditions that are not satisfied as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the Class B Purchasers), (ii) at the time of such termination pursuant to Section 7.01(c), the condition set forth in Section 2.05(b) or Section 2.06(b) is not satisfied due to a willful breach by any Class B Purchaser of this Agreement, and (iii) the Company has delivered an irrevocable Notice of Closing to the Purchasers no later than two (2) Business Days after the date on which the condition set forth in Section 2.03(a) is satisfied and (A) such Notice of Closing provides for a Closing to occur on the date that is twelve (12) Business Days after receipt by the Class B Purchasers of the Notice of Closing and (B) the Company has confirmed that if the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded on such date it stands ready, willing, and able to consummate the Closing, then GEPIF, on behalf of all of the Class B Purchasers, will pay or cause to be paid to the Class A Purchaser (or its designee(s)) an amount equal to the Termination Fee.

(b) If the Termination Fee is payable, GEPIF will pay such fee to the Class A Purchaser (or its designee(s)) by wire transfer of immediately available funds on or before the second (2^nd) Business Day following the date on which a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable decision finding that such fee is payable is entered. The Company and each of the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 7.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and without these agreements the other parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement and (ii) any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.03 are a reasonable approximation of the Class A Purchaser’s damages and do not constitute a penalty. In the event of litigation relating to the payment of the Termination Fee and upon final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable decision, the non-prevailing party in such litigation shall reimburse the prevailing party’s reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred in connection therewith to a maximum of two million U.S. dollars ($2,000,000.00). Subject to the right of the Company to specific performance of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.12, the parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that payment of the Termination Fee, if due, and the payment in full of any reimbursement, expense, or interest obligations pursuant to this Section 7.03, if any, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and the Class A Purchaser against the Class B Purchasers in connection with the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.08 Removal of Legend. In connection with a sale of Conversion Units by a Class B Purchaser in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, such Class B Purchaser or its broker shall deliver to NEP a broker representation letter providing to NEP any information NEP deems necessary to determine that the sale of such Conversion Units is made in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including, as may be appropriate, a certification that the Purchaser is not an Affiliate of NEP (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act) and a certification as to the length of time the such units have been held (taking into account any applicable tacking periods under Rule 144). Upon receipt of such representation letter, NEP shall promptly remove the notation of a restrictive legend in such Purchaser’s book-entry account maintained by NEP, including the legend referred to in Section 4.05, and NEP shall bear all costs associated with the removal of such legend in NEP’s books. At such time as the Conversion Units have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or have been held by any Purchaser for more than one (1) year where such Purchaser is not, and has not been in the preceding three (3) months, an Affiliate of NEP (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), if the book-entry account of such Purchaser still bears the notation of the restrictive legend referred to in Section 4.05, NEP agrees, upon request of the Purchaser or its permitted assignee, to take all steps necessary to promptly effect the removal of the legend described in Section 4.05, and NEP shall bear all costs associated with the

removal of such legend in the books of NEP regardless of whether the request is made in connection with a sale or otherwise, so long as such Purchaser or its permitted assignee provides to NEP any information NEP deems reasonably necessary to determine that the legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state Laws, including (if there is no such registration statement) a certification that the holder is not an Affiliate of NEP (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), a covenant to inform the Company or NEP if it should thereafter become an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act) and to consent to the notation of an appropriate restriction, and a certification as to the length of time such units have been held. NEP shall cooperate with each Purchaser to effect the removal of the legend referred to in Section 4.05 at any time such legend is no longer appropriate.

Except as expressly provided herein, a Member is not entitled to the return of any part of its Capital Contributions or to be paid interest in respect of either its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions. An unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any Member. A Member is not required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital Contributions.

4.08 Capital Accounts. (a) Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of money contributed by that Member to the Company, (ii) the fair market value of property contributed by that Member to the Company (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), and (iii) allocations to that Member of Net Profit (or items thereof) and any items in the nature of income or gain that are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.03(b), and shall be decreased by (w) the amount of money distributed to that Member by the Company, (x) the Book Value of property distributed to that Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), and (y) allocations to that Member of Net Losses (or items thereof) or other items in the nature of deductions or losses that are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.03(b).

Such escrowed distributions shall be released from such escrow account to the Class B Members promptly following receipt of all such Required Governmental Authorizations.

5.02 Distributions on Dissolution and Winding-Up. Upon the dissolution and winding-up of the Company, all available proceeds distributable to the Members as determined under Section 12.02 shall be distributed in the following order: (a) first, to each Member pro rata in accordance with the positive balance, if any, of such Member’s Capital Account (determined without regard to the allocations made pursuant to Section 12.02(b)), until each Member has received such positive balance, (b) second, to each Member based upon its respective Unreturned Contribution Percentage until the amount distributed to such Member, together with any amounts distributed pursuant to clause (a), equals the aggregate Capital Contributions made by such Member (less the aggregate amount of all distributions previously made to such Member pursuant to Section 5.01); (c) third, to the Class B Members, pro rata in accordance with their proportionate interest in the outstanding Class B Units, until the Class B Members have received distributions that yield an Internal Rate of Return to the Class B Members, measured from the Effective Date to the date of dissolution, of either (i) seven and three quarters percent (7.75%), if the dissolution occurs prior to the Flip Date, or (ii) eight and three quarters percent (8.75%), if the dissolution occurs after the Flip Date; and (d) fourth, any and all remaining proceeds after payment of the amounts specified in clauses (a), (b), and (c), to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their proportionate interest in the outstanding Class A Units. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, any amounts otherwise distributable to the Class B Members pursuant to clauses (b) or (c) of the preceding sentence shall instead be distributed to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their proportionate interest in the outstanding Class A Units, to the extent necessary to ensure that the aggregate amount distributable to the Class B Members pursuant to such clauses does not cause the total proceeds distributable to such Class B Members (as determined under Section 12.02) pursuant to this Section 5.02 to exceed eighty percent (80%) of such proceeds.

5.03 Allocations. (a) For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 4.07, except as provided in Section 5.03(b) or Section 12.02(b), the Net Profits and Net Loss of the Company, including each item of income, gain, loss, credit, and deduction, for each Fiscal Year or other applicable period, including the Pre-Flip Stub Period and the Post-Flip Stub Period, shall be allocated among the Members as follows:

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.03(a):

(i) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in the same proportions as the allocations of Net Profits and Net Loss were made for the Fiscal Year or other applicable period pursuant to Section 5.03(a).

(ii) Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated to the Members bearing the Economic Risk of Loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4). If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk of Loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt, the Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members according to the ratio in which they bear the Economic Risk of Loss. This Section 5.03(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain for an allocation period (or if there was a net decrease in Minimum Gain for a prior allocation period and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this Section 5.03(b)(iii), items of income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in such Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(2)). This Section 5.03(b)(iii) is intended to constitute a minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Section 5.03(b)(iii) (dealing with Minimum Gain), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for an allocation period (or if there was a net decrease

in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for a prior allocation period and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this Section 5.03(b)(iv)), items of income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). This Section 5.03(b)(iv) is intended to constitute a partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(v) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Section 5.03(b)(i) and Section 5.03(b)(ii), no losses or other items of expense shall be allocated to any Member to the extent that such allocation would cause such Member to have a deficit Capital Account balance (or increase any existing deficit Capital Account balance) at the end of the allocation period in excess of the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(iv). All losses and other items expense in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.03(b)(v) shall be allocated to the Members who do not have a deficit Capital Account balances in excess of the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(iv) in proportion to their relative positive Capital Accounts but only to the extent that such losses and other items of expense do not cause any such Member to have a deficit Capital Account balance in excess of the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(iv).

(vi) If 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 a Capital Account deficit for such Member in excess of the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(iv), 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 Treasury Regulations, such Capital Account deficit of the Member as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.03(b)(vi) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account balance in excess of the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(iv) after all other allocations provided for in this Article 5 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.03(b)(vi) were not in this Agreement. 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 subsection (vi) 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.

(vii) The allocations set forth in Section 5.03(b)(i) through Section 5.03(b)(vi) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to distribute the cash of the Company or allocate Company income or loss. Accordingly, the Managing Member is hereby authorized to allocate items of income, gain, loss, and deduction to the Members so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which cash is distributed among the Members. In general, the Members

anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction to the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations and the Regulatory Allocations to the Members shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated among the Members if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. However, the Managing Member shall have discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable manner, and in exercising this discretion, the Managing Member shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 5.03(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made thereunder.

(c) To the maximum extent possible, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.03(c), all items of Company income, gain, loss, and deduction for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members for such purposes in the same manner in which the corresponding items computed for Capital Account purposes are allocated pursuant to Section 5.03(a) and Section 5.03(b). Income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to property contributed to the Company by a Member or revalued pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Book Value” shall be allocated among the Members in a manner that takes into account the variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its Book Value, as required by Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).

5.04 Varying Interests. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the Persons shown on the records of the Company to have been Members as of the last day of the period for which the allocation or distribution is to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Member Disposes of a Membership Interest during a Fiscal Year, the Net Profits or Net Loss of the Company, and each item of income, gain, loss, credit, and deduction, allocated to such Member and its Assignee for such Fiscal Year or other applicable period will be made between such Member and its Assignee in accordance with Code Section 706 using any convention permitted by Code Section 706 and selected by the Managing Member.

5.05 Amounts Withheld. The Company is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions to the Members and to pay over to any federal, state, or local Governmental Authority any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any Law and shall allocate such amounts to the Members with respect to which such amounts were withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any Law with respect to any payment, distribution, or allocation to the Company or the Members shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as amounts paid or distributed pursuant to this Article 5 to the Members with respect to which such amount was withheld. To the extent operation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.05 would create a negative balance in a Member’s Capital Account (or increase the amount by which such Capital Account balance is negative), such Member shall indemnify the other Members and the Company for such withholding.

ARTICLE 6

MANAGEMENT

6.01 Generally. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by the Managing Member, and NEP Member is hereby appointed by the Members as the Managing Member of the Company. The Class A Member(s) shall have the right to designate a successor Managing Member; provided that, in the event that there shall be more than one Class A Member, the Managing Member shall be selected by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class A Units; provided, further, that the Person appointed to serve as successor Managing Member must be an Affiliate of NEP. Except as provided in Section 6.03, Section 6.04 or as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Managing Member shall have full and exclusive power and authority on behalf of the Company to conduct, direct, and exercise control over all activities of the Company, to manage and administer the business and affairs of the Company, and to do or cause to be done any and all acts considered by the Managing Member to be necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of the Company, including the authority to bind the Company in making contracts and incurring obligations in the Company’s name in the course of the Company’s business, without the need for approval by or any other consent from any other Member. Except to the extent that a Member is also the Managing Member or authority is delegated from the Managing Member to such Member, no Member will have any authority to bind the Company or to transact any business for the Company. The Managing Member may delegate to one or more Persons all or any part of its power and authority as Managing Member hereunder, including, subject to Section 6.03(b)(iv) and Section 6.04, pursuant to any management services agreement the Company may enter into with any Affiliate of the Company, except for such power and authority with respect to Major Decisions or other matters expressly requiring a vote by or consent of the Members pursuant to this Agreement, which will be expressly retained by the Members.

6.02 Standard of Care.

(a) Except for those duties expressly set forth in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, neither the Managing Member nor any other Member shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Company or any other Member, and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the Managing Member or any other Member otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to modify, to such extent, such duties and liabilities of the Managing Member and such other Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall eliminate or limit (i) the express contractual provisions set forth herein or (ii) the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(b) Each Member acknowledges its express intent, and agrees with each other Member for the mutual benefit of all the Members, that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement:

(i) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Member, in its capacity as Member, nor any of such Member’s or any of its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, stockholders, managers, members, partners, employees, or agents shall

have any fiduciary duty to the Company, any other Member, or any other Person in connection with the business and affairs of the Company or any consent or approval given or withheld pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 6.02 will apply for the benefit of each Member, and no standard of care, duty, or other legal restriction or theory of liability shall limit or modify the right of any Member to vote in the manner determined by such Member in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without cause, subject to such conditions as it shall deem appropriate, and without taking into account the interests of, and without incurring liability to, the Company, any other Member, or any officer or employee of the Company.

(c) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law but except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Member hereby releases and forever discharges each other Member and its Affiliates from all liabilities that such other Member or its Affiliates might owe, under the Act or otherwise, to the Company, the releasing Member, or its Affiliates on the ground that any decision of such other Member to grant or withhold any vote, consent, or approval constituted the breach or violation of any standard of care, any fiduciary duty, or any other legal restriction or theory of liability applicable to such other Member or its Affiliates; provided, however, that nothing herein shall eliminate any Member’s liability for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.02 shall limit or waive any claims against, actions, rights to xxx, other remedies, or other recourse of the Company, any Member, or any other Person may have against any Member for a breach of contract claim relating to any binding agreement, including this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, whenever the Managing Member makes a determination or takes or declines to take (or causes or permits a subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) any other action, in its capacity as such as opposed to in its individual capacity, then, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, the Managing Member shall make such determination or take or decline to take (or cause or permit a subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards (including fiduciary standards) imposed by this Agreement. A determination or other action or inaction will conclusively be deemed to be in “good faith” for all purposes of this Agreement, if the Managing Member in making such determination or taking or declining to take (or causing or permitting a subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) such other action (i) reasonably believes that the determination or other action or inaction is in the best interests of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) does not take or decline to take (or cause or permit a subsidiary of the Company to take or decline to take) such action with intent to benefit any other business now owned or hereafter acquired by the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates to the detriment of the Company and its subsidiaries.

(e) Without limiting the foregoing, the Managing Member shall, and shall carry out its obligations hereunder, in accordance with all Laws and requirements of this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be

considered an Affiliate Transaction for purposes of this Section 6.04 and the Class B Member shall have the same rights hereunder with respect to the Asset Purchase Agreement as it would if the Company rather than the Class A Member were the “Purchaser” thereunder.

6.05 Officers. The Managing Member may from time to time as it deems advisable appoint officers of the Company to act on behalf of the Company and assign in writing titles (including president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer) to any such person, and any such assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the authorities and duties that are normally associated with such title.

6.06 Business Opportunities.

(a) Except with respect to (i) expansions of existing projects of the Company or its subsidiaries and (ii) potential repowerings of existing projects of the Company or its subsidiaries, each Member, including the Managing Member, and each Affiliate of a Member may engage in and possess interests in business ventures of any and every type and description, independently or with others, including ones in competition with the Company, with no obligation to offer to the Company, any other Member, or any Affiliate of another Member the right to participate therein. Subject to Section 6.03(b)(iv), the Company may transact business with any Member or Affiliate thereof, and no Affiliate of a Member shall be restricted in its right

to conduct, individually or jointly with others, for its own account any business activities. No Member or its Affiliates shall have any duty or obligation, express or implied, fiduciary or otherwise, to account to, or to share the results or profits of such business activities with, the Company, any other Member or any Affiliate of any other Member, by reason of such business activities. The provisions of this Section 6.06 constitute an agreement to modify or eliminate, as applicable, fiduciary duties pursuant to the provisions of Section 18-1101 of the Act.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.03, each Member:

(a) During the period beginning on the Flip Date and continuing until the first (1^st) anniversary of the Flip Date (the “Call Option Period”), NEP Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Class B Units at a purchase price that implies an Internal Rate of Return to GEPIF of seven and three quarters percent (7.75%), measured from the Effective Date to the Call Option Closing Date (the “Call Option Purchase Price”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.02 (the “Call Option”). NEP Member may not assign its right to purchase the outstanding Class B Units pursuant to this Section 7.02 to any Person other than NEP or a subsidiary thereof; provided, however, that, in the event of any such assignment, NEP Member and NEP shall remain subject to their respective obligations set forth in this Section 7.02 upon any exercise of the Call Option.

(b) To exercise the Call Option, NEP Member shall deliver to the Class B Members written notice of such exercise (the “Call Option Notice”) containing (i) the date (the “Call Option Closing Date”) on which the Call Option is to be consummated (the “Call Option Closing”), (ii) the Call Option Purchase Price, and (iii) the form of consideration to be used to pay the Call Option Purchase Price, which shall be either cash, Non-Voting NEP Common Units, or a combination of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units, subject to Section 7.02(c), and the respective proportions thereof to be paid to the Class B Members (or their nominee(s)); provided, however, that, NEP may exercise the Call Option only if (A) the NEP Common Units are listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange, (B) the NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units are convertible, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the NEP Partnership Agreement, would not, immediately following conversion thereof, exceed more than twenty-two and a half percent (22.5%) of the publicly traded class of NEP Common Units then outstanding (inclusive of those NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units are convertible), and (C) NEP must have an effective registration statement on file with the Commission covering resales of the underlying NEP Common Units to be received upon conversion of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units; provided, further, that NEP Member may exercise the Call Option only if (y) the NEP LPA Amendment (as that term is used in the Purchase Agreement) shall be in full force and effect, without any modification thereto, and (z) the Registration Rights Agreement shall be in effect with respect to the NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units are convertible, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the NEP Partnership Agreement. The Call Option Notice shall be delivered to the Class B Members at least ten (10) days and no more than fifteen (15) days in advance of the Call Option Closing Date, it being understood that delivery of such Call Option Notice may be made prior to the beginning of the Call Option Period but shall not be valid if made after the end of the Call Option Period.

(c) Subject to Section 7.02(b), NEP Member may pay the Call Option Purchase Price, at its option, in either cash, Non-Voting NEP Common Units, or a combination of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units; provided, however, that cash may not constitute more than fifty percent (50%) of the total Call Option Purchase Price paid to the Class B Members (or their nominee(s)). If some or all of the consideration set forth in the Call Option Notice consists of Non-Voting NEP Common Units, the issuance price for each such Non-

Voting NEP Common Unit will be specified as the 15-day VWAP of the NEP Common Units on the date of the Call Option Notice. The Class B Members shall have five (5) days following receipt of the Call Option Notice to notify NEP Member in writing that the Call Option Purchase Price shall be payable in cash (if any) up to a maximum of thirty percent (30%) of the total Call Option Purchase Price (with the balance to be paid in Non-Voting NEP Common Units), unless the Call Option Notice specified a higher percentage payable in cash.

(d) If, at any time during the last six (6) months of the Call Option Period, NEP Member has not exercised the Call Option pursuant to Section 7.02(a) and over any period of forty-five (45) days during such six-month period the NEP Common Units yield an average, last quarter annualized paid dividend yield above eight percent (8.0%), NEP Member may extend the Call Option Period for an additional one (1) year following the last day of the Call Option Period (the “Call Option Period Extension”) by providing written notice thereof to the Class B Members. The Call Option Period Extension shall, if so extended, expire on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date. At any time during the Call Option Period Extension, NEP Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Class B Units at a purchase price (the “Call Option Extension Purchase Price”), payable, at its option, in either cash, Non-Voting NEP Common Units, or a combination of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units, that implies an Internal Rate of Return to GEPIF, measured from the Effective Date to the Call Option Closing Date, of either (i) eight and three quarters percent (8.75%), if fifty percent (50%) or more of the Call Option Extension Purchase Price is paid in Non-Voting NEP Common Units, or (ii) nine and three quarters percent (9.75%), if over fifty percent (50%) of the Call Option Extension Purchase Price is paid in cash; provided, however, that Non-Voting NEP Common Units may be used to pay any portion of the Call Option Extension Purchase Price only if (A) the NEP Common Units are listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange, (B) the NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units are convertible, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the NEP Partnership Agreement, would not, immediately following conversion thereof, exceed more than twenty-two and a half percent (22.5%) of the publicly traded class of NEP Common Units then outstanding (inclusive of those NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units are convertible), and (C) NEP must have an effective registration statement on file with the Commission covering resales of the underlying NEP Common Units to be received upon conversion of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units; provided, further, that Non-Voting NEP Common Units may be used to pay any portion of the Call Option Extension Purchase Price only if (y) the NEP LPA Amendment (as that term is used in the Purchase Agreement) shall be in full force and effect, without any modification thereto, and (z) the Registration Rights Agreement shall be in effect with respect to the NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units are convertible, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the NEP Partnership Agreement. If some or all of the consideration set forth in such notice consists of Non-Voting NEP Common Units, the issuance price for each such Non-Voting NEP Common Unit will be specified as the 15-day VWAP of the NEP Common Units on the date of such notice. To exercise its right set forth herein, NEP Member shall, prior to expiration of the Call Option Period Extension and at least ten (10) days and no more than fifteen (15) days in advance of such exercise, deliver to the Class B Members written notice containing the same information set forth in Section 7.02(b) with respect to the Call

Option Notice. The Class B Members shall have five (5) days following receipt of such notice to notify NEP Member in writing that the Call Option Extension Purchase Price shall be payable in cash (if any) up to a maximum of thirty percent (30%) of the total Call Option Extension Purchase Price (the “Maximum Requested Cash Portion”) (with the balance to be paid in Non-Voting NEP Common Units), unless such notice specified a higher percentage payable in cash.

(e) On the Call Option Closing Date, (i) the Class B Members will convey all right, title, and interest in and to the Class B Units, free of all Encumbrances (other than those created by this Agreement or securities Laws), to NEP Member or its nominee; (ii) NEP Member or its nominee will pay the cash portion of the Call Option Purchase Price (or Call Option Extension Purchase Price, as applicable) to the Class B Members (or their nominee(s)) by wire transfer of immediately available funds; and (iii) NEP shall satisfy the remaining portion of the Call Option Purchase Price (or Call Option Extension Purchase Price, as applicable) by issuing Non-Voting NEP Common Units pursuant to the Multiparty Settlement Agreement (as defined in the Margin Loan Agreement), and, in connection therewith, NEP shall instruct, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, its Transfer Agent to record the issuance of such Non-Voting NEP Common Units to such Class B Members (or their nominee(s));provided, however, that the Call Option Closing Date may be delayed by the Class B Members, at their option, for a period not to exceed seven (7) Business Days to the extent, in the Class B Members’ reasonable determination, there is or will be an Issuer Trading Suspension (as defined in the Margin Loan Agreement) or a Facility Adjustment Event (as defined in the Margin Loan Agreement) relating to events or circumstances caused by or within the control of NEP or its Affiliates that exists or will exist on such Call Option Closing Date. No fractional Non-Voting NEP Common Units will be issued. The Members agree that the Call Option Closing, whether pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or pursuant to Section 7.02(d), shall be subject to (A) the receipt of all applicable Required Governmental Authorizations and (B) until the Credit Agreement Payment in Full, there being sufficient cash available to the Class B Member at the Call Option Closing for the Class B Member to pay off the sum of the outstanding indebtedness on the Call Option Closing Date under the Credit Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (provided that the amount of such indebtedness shall not exceed the amount borrowed thereunder on the Effective Date plus additional amounts owed thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof), plus the amounts required to be paid by the Class B Member constituting amounts owed by the Class B Member as termination payments and unpaid amounts under any swap, cap, forward, future or other derivative transaction entered into in connection with the hedging of interest rates under the Credit Agreement, and minus amounts required to be paid to the Class B Member constituting amounts owed by the counterparty under any such swap, cap, forward, future or other derivative transaction as termination payments and unpaid amounts under any such swap, cap, forward, future or other derivative transaction. In the event any such Required Governmental Authorizations shall not have been obtained or such sufficient cash is not available by the date that is otherwise scheduled to be the Call Option Closing Date, then such Call Option Closing Date shall automatically be delayed until such date as all such Required Governmental Authorizations have been obtained and sufficient cash is available and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Call Option Purchase Price (or Call Option Extension Purchase Price) set forth in the Call Option Notice shall be calculated from the Effective Date until such date as all such Required Governmental Authorizations and sufficient cash have been obtained.

Each Class B Member hereby agrees that, in connection with the Call Option Closing, such Class B Member (or its Affiliates) shall borrow under such Margin Loan Agreement the maximum amount available thereunder, to the extent necessary to repay, and shall use such borrowings, together with any cash received as part of the Call Option Purchase Price or Call Option Extension Purchase Price and any other cash or cash equivalents of the Class B Member, to repay, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, all of such Class B Member’s then outstanding indebtedness and all other indebtedness pursuant to which the Class B Units are Encumbered (other than indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement). To the extent that the proceeds from the Margin Loan Agreement, together with any cash paid as a portion of the Call Option Purchase Price or Call Option Extension Purchase Price and all cash on hand of the Class B Member, are insufficient to repay in full all indebtedness of the Class B Member (and any other indebtedness pursuant to which the Class B Units are Encumbered), then the Class B Members shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain additional or substitute financing on commercially reasonable terms in such amount as is sufficient to repay in full the amount of all indebtedness and other obligations (including, without limitation, swap, cap, forward, future, or other derivative transactions of the nature described above) of the Class B Members or pursuant to which the Class B Units are Encumbered, such that all Encumbrances on the Class B Units shall be released on or prior to the Call Option Closing. Following consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 7.02, the Managing Member will amend this Agreement to reflect the withdrawal of the Class B Members and the transfer of the Class B Units effective as of the Call Option Closing.

(f) In the event that NEP Member shall be required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to pay to GEPIF a Commitment Fee (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the payment of such Commitment Fee shall be disregarded in calculating the Internal Rate of Return of GEPIF for purposes of determining the Call Option Purchase Price (or Call Option Extension Purchase Price, as applicable).

(g) Each Member agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, the Managing Member, and NEP to effect the Call Option Closing, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all applicable Governmental Authorizations, terminating and releasing all Encumbrances on the Class B Units (other than those created by this Agreement or securities Laws), and entering into any agreements and instruments and executing any certificates or other documents the Managing Member reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to consummate the Disposition of the Class B Units. The Class B Members and NEP agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Transfer Agent to record the issuance of Non-Voting NEP Common Units to such Class B Members (or their nominee(s)).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.02(a), with respect to any and all Class B Units held by GEPIF, so long as (i) Global Energy & Power Infrastructure II Advisors, L.L.C. or any of its Affiliates Controls the Blocker Parent, (ii) the Blocker has engaged in no business activities other than its organizational activities, acquiring, accepting, owning, and holding the equity interests of GEPIF, which equity interests constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of GEPIF, and activities incidental thereto, and has no material liabilities, and (iii) GEPIF has engaged in no business activities other than its organizational activities, acquiring, financing, accepting, owning, and holding the Class B Units

and activities incidental thereto, and has no material liabilities, then, unless GEPIF provides written notice to NEP Member within five (5) days of receipt of the Call Option Notice that it does not wish for NEP Member (or its permitted assignee) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Blocker (collectively, the “Blocker Interests”) pursuant to the Call Option, NEP Member (or its permitted assignee) shall purchase all of the Blocker Interests rather than the outstanding Class B Units held by GEPIF, on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth herein for the purchase of Class B Units pursuant to the Call Option, and Blocker Parent will convey all right, title, and interest in and to the Blocker Interests (and indirectly the equity interests of GEPIF, together with the Class B Units held by GEPIF), free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer created by this Agreement or applicable securities Laws), to NEP Member or its permitted assignee. Unless the Class B Member exercises the option not to have the Blocker Interests purchased as set forth in this Section 7.02(h), references elsewhere in this Section 7.02 to Class B Units or to a Class B Member selling Class B Units shall be to the Blocker Interests and Blocker Parent, respectively, and the other terms of this Section 7.02 shall apply mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto will take all actions necessary to effect the Call Option Closing as the purchase of the Blocker Interests rather than the purchase of the Class B Units.

(i) Until the Credit Agreement Payment in Full, the Class B Member agrees that it shall not incur indebtedness for borrowed money under the Credit Agreement or otherwise, in excess of the amount of indebtedness borrowed under the Credit Agreement on the Effective Date plus the amount of indebtedness for borrowed money subsequently incurred under the Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof or (provided that the aggregate amount of all indebtedness for borrowed money of the Class B Member under the Credit Agreement following the effectiveness of any such changes in terms shall not exceed the Maximum Amount immediately prior to such changes) on terms not less favorable to the Class A Members, plus amounts under any swap, cap, forward, future, or other derivative transactions of the nature described in Section 7.02(e), plus $1,000,000.00. The Class B Member further agrees that it shall not take any actions or omit to take any actions which result in Encumbrances on the Class B Units securing debt for borrowed money in an aggregate amount in excess of $1,000,000.00, other than Encumbrances that secure the obligations of the Class B Member under the Credit Agreement or any related loan documents and under any swap, cap, forward, future or other derivative transactions of the nature described in Section 7.02(e).

(j) The NEP Member or its nominee shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Call Option Purchase Price (or Call Option Extension Purchase Price, as applicable) the amounts each NEP Member or its nominee is required to deduct and withhold under any applicable Law, and amounts so withheld shall be deemed paid for all purposes of this Agreement. Any Taxes deducted or withheld from any payments pursuant this Section 7.02(i) shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Class B Members, or Blocker Parent, as applicable, provided that, if on the Call Option Closing Date, the Class B Members or Blocker Parent, as applicable, shall deliver to the NEP Member or its nominee, withholding certificates pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2) and, in the case of a sale of the Class B Units, IRS Notice 2018-29, that the Class B Members, or Blocker Parent (or if any such entity is a disregarded entity, its regarded owner) is not a non-U.S. person, the NEP Member or its nominee

shall not withhold any amounts under Section 1445 or Section 1446(f) of the Code unless there is a change in Law prior to the Call Option Closing Date that requires such withholding.

7.03 Change of Control of NEP.

(a) At any time following the announcement of a proposed Change of Control of NEP (or the entry into any agreement providing therefor), the Class B Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require NEP Member to acquire all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Class B Units at a purchase price that implies an Internal Rate of Return to the Class B Members, measured from the Effective Date to the Change of Control Closing Date and with the assumption that GEPIF shall have remained a Class B Member throughout the entirety of such period, of ten percent (10.0%) (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.03 (the “NEP Change of Control Option”). NEP Member may not assign its obligation to purchase such Class B Units pursuant to this Section 7.03 to any Person other than NEP or a subsidiary thereof.

(b) To exercise the rights of the Class B Members pursuant to Section 7.03(a), the Class B Members shall, at least ten (10) days and no more than fifteen (15) days in advance of such exercise, deliver to NEP Member written notice executed by all such Class B Members of such exercise (the “Change of Control Notice”) containing (i) the date (the “Change of Control Closing Date”) on which the acquisition of the outstanding Class B Units is to be consummated (the “Change of Control Closing”), and (ii) the Change of Control Purchase Price. NEP Member may pay the Change of Control Purchase Price, at its option, in either cash, Non-Voting NEP Common Units, or a combination of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units; provided, however, that (y) the NEP LPA Amendment (as that term is used in the Purchase Agreement) shall be in full force and effect, without any modification thereto, and (z) the Registration Rights Agreement shall be in effect with respect to the NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units are convertible, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the NEP Partnership Agreement. If some or all of the Change of Control Purchase Price consists of Non-Voting NEP Common Units, the issuance price for each such Non-Voting NEP Common Unit will be specified as the 15-day VWAP of the NEP Common Units on the date that is the earlier of the announcement of a proposed Change of Control of NEP or the entry into a definitive agreement providing for a transaction that if consummated would constitute a Change of Control of NEP.

(c) On the Change of Control Closing Date, (i) the Class B Members will convey all of the Class B Units, free of all Encumbrances (other than those created by this Agreement or securities Laws), to NEP Member or its nominee; (ii) NEP Member or its nominee (or, if the foregoing do not pay, NEP) will pay the cash portion, if any, of the Change of Control Purchase Price to the Class B Members (or their nominee(s)) by wire transfer of immediately available funds; and (iii) NEP shall satisfy the remaining portion, if any, of the Change of Control Purchase Price by issuing Non-Voting NEP Common Units no later than three (3) Business Days after the Change of Control Closing Date, and, in connection therewith, NEP shall instruct, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, its Transfer Agent to record the issuance of such Non-Voting NEP Common Units to such Class B Members (or their nominee(s)). No fractional Non-Voting NEP Common Units will be issued. The Members agree

that the Change of Control Closing shall be subject to the receipt of all applicable Required Governmental Authorizations. In the event any such Required Governmental Authorizations shall not have been obtained by the date that is otherwise scheduled to be the Change of Control Closing Date, then such Change of Control Closing date shall automatically be delayed until such date as all such Required Governmental Authorizations have been obtained and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Change of Control Purchase Price set forth in the Change of Control Notice shall be calculated from the Effective Date until such date as all such Required Governmental Authorizations have been obtained. Each Class B Member hereby agrees that, in connection with the Change of Control Closing, such Class B Member (or its Affiliates) shall borrow under such Margin Loan Agreement the maximum amount available thereunder, to the extent necessary to repay, and shall use such borrowings, together with any cash received as part of the Change of Control Purchase Price, to repay, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, all of such Class B Member’s then outstanding indebtedness and all other indebtedness pursuant to which the Class B Units are Encumbered (other than indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement). To the extent that the proceeds from the Margin Loan Agreement, together with any cash paid as a portion of the Change of Control Purchase Price and all cash on hand of the Class B Member, are insufficient to repay in full all indebtedness of the Class B Member (and any other indebtedness pursuant to which the Class B Units are Encumbered), then the Class B Members shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain additional or substitute financing in such amount as is sufficient to repay in full the amount of all indebtedness of the Class B Members or pursuant to which the Class B Units are Encumbered, such that all Encumbrances on the Class B Units shall be released on or prior to the Change of Control Closing. Following consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 7.03, the Managing Member will amend this Agreement to reflect the withdrawal of the Class B Members and the transfer of the Class B Units effective as of the Change of Control Closing.

(d) Each Member agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, the Managing Member, and NEP to effect the Change of Control Closing, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all applicable Governmental Authorizations, terminating and releasing all Encumbrances on the Class B Units (other than those created by this Agreement or securities Laws), and entering into any agreements and instruments and executing any certificates or other documents the Managing Member reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to consummate the Disposition of the Class B Units. The Class B Members and NEP agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Transfer Agent to record the issuance of Non-Voting NEP Common Units to such Class B Members (or their nominee(s)).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.03(a), with respect to any and all Class B Units held by GEPIF, so long as (i) Global Energy & Power Infrastructure II Advisors, L.L.C. or any of its Affiliates Controls the Blocker Parent, (ii) the Blocker has engaged in no business activities other than its organizational activities, acquiring, accepting, owning, and holding the equity interests of GEPIF, which equity interests constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of GEPIF, and activities incidental thereto, and has no material liabilities, and (iii) GEPIF has engaged in no business activities other than its organizational activities, acquiring, financing, accepting, owning, and holding the Class B Units and activities incidental thereto, and has no material liabilities, then, unless GEPIF provides

written notice to NEP Member within five (5) days of receipt of the Change of Control Notice that it does not wish for NEP Member (or its permitted assignee) to purchase all of the Blocker Interests pursuant to the NEP Change of Control Option, NEP Member (or its permitted assignee) shall purchase all of the Blocker Interests rather than the outstanding Class B Units held by GEPIF, on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth herein for the purchase of Class B Units pursuant to the NEP Change of Control Option, and Blocker Parent will convey all right, title, and interest in and to the Blocker Interests (and indirectly the equity interests of GEPIF, together with the Class B Units held by GEPIF), free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer created by this Agreement or applicable securities Laws), to NEP Member or its permitted assignee. Unless the Class B Member exercises the option not to have the Blocker Interests purchased as set forth in this Section 7.03(e), references elsewhere in this Section 7.03 to Class B Units or to a Class B Member selling Class B Units shall be to the Blocker Interests and Blocker Parent, respectively, and the other terms of this Section 7.03 shall apply mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto will take all actions necessary to effect the Change of Control Closing as the purchase of the Blocker Interests rather than the purchase of the Class B Units.

7.04 Change of Control of a Class B Member.

(a) If at any time there is an announcement of a proposed Change of Control of a Class B Member (or the entry into any agreement providing therefor), then following such announcement of a proposed Change of Control of a Class B Member (or such entry into any agreement providing therefor), NEP Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Class B Units held by such Class B Member (in such capacity, the “COC Member”) at a purchase price that implies an Internal Rate of Return to such COC Member of seven and three quarters percent (7.75%), measured from the Effective Date to the Class B COC Closing Date (the “Class B COC Purchase Price”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.04 (the “Class B COC Option”). NEP Member may not assign its right to purchase the applicable Class B Units pursuant to this Section 7.04 to any Person other than NEP or a subsidiary thereof; provided, however, that, in the event of any such assignment, NEP Member and NEP shall remain subject to their respective obligations set forth in this Section 7.04 upon any exercise of the Class B COC Option.

(b) To exercise the Class B COC Option, NEP Member shall, at least ten (10) days and no more than fifteen (15) days in advance of such exercise, deliver to the COC Member written notice of such exercise (the “Class B COC Notice”) containing (i) the date (the “Class B COC Closing Date”) on which the Class B COC Option is to be consummated (the “Class B COC Closing”), (ii) the Class B COC Purchase Price, and (iii) the form of consideration to be used to pay the Class B COC Purchase Price, which shall be either cash, Non-Voting NEP Common Units, or a combination of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units, subject to Section 7.04(c), and the respective proportions thereof to be paid to the COC Member (or its nominee); provided, however, that NEP Member may exercise the Class B COC Option only if (A) the NEP Common Units are listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange, (B) the NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units are convertible, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the NEP Partnership Agreement, would not, immediately following conversion thereof, exceed more than

twenty-two and a half percent (22.5%) of the publicly traded class of NEP Common Units then outstanding (inclusive of those NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units are convertible), and (C) NEP must have an effective registration statement on file with the Commission covering resales of the underlying NEP Common Units to be received upon conversion of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units; provided, further, that NEP Member may exercise the Class B COC Option only if (y) the NEP LPA Amendment (as that term is used in the Purchase Agreement) shall be in full force and effect, without any modification thereto, and (z) the Registration Rights Agreement shall be in effect with respect to the NEP Common Units into which the Non-Voting NEP Common Units are convertible, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the NEP Partnership Agreement.

(c) Subject to Section 7.04(b), NEP Member may pay the Class B COC Purchase Price, at its option, in either cash, Non-Voting NEP Common Units, or a combination of cash and Non-Voting NEP Common Units; provided, however, that cash may not constitute more than fifty percent (50%) of the total Class B COC Purchase Price paid to the Class B Members (or their nominee(s)). If some or all of the consideration set forth in the Class B COC Notice consists of Non-Voting NEP Common Units, the issuance price for each such Non-Voting NEP Common Unit will be specified as the 15-day VWAP of the NEP Common Units on the date of the Class B COC Notice. The Class B Members shall have five (5) days following receipt of the Class B COC Notice to notify NEP Member in writing that the Class B COC Purchase Price shall be payable in cash (if any) up to a maximum of thirty percent (30%) of the total Class B COC Purchase Price (with the balance to be paid in Non-Voting NEP Common Units), unless the Class B COC Notice specified a higher percentage payable in cash.

(d) On the Class B COC Closing Date, (i) the COC Member will convey all of its right, title, and interest in and to such COC Member’s Class B Units, free of all Encumbrances (other than those created by this Agreement or securities Laws), to NEP Member or its nominee; (ii) NEP Member or its nominee will pay the cash portion of the Class B COC Purchase Price to such COC Member (or its nominee) by wire transfer of immediately available funds; and (iii) NEP shall satisfy the remaining portion of the Class B COC Purchase Price by issuing Non-Voting NEP Common Units no later than three (3) Business Days after the Class B COC Closing Date, and, in connection therewith, NEP shall instruct, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, its Transfer Agent to record the issuance of such Non-Voting NEP Common Units to such COC Member (or its nominee). No fractional Non-Voting NEP Common Units will be issued. The Members agree that the Class B COC Closing shall be subject to the receipt of all applicable Required Governmental Authorizations. In the event any such Required Governmental Authorizations and, until the Credit Agreement Payment in Full, there being sufficient cash available to the Class B Member at the Class B COC Closing for the Class B Member to pay off the sum of the outstanding indebtedness on the Class B COC Closing Date under the Credit Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (provided that the amount of such indebtedness shall not exceed the amount borrowed thereunder on the Effective Date plus additional amounts owed thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof), plus the amounts required to be

paid by the Class B Member constituting amounts owed by the Class B Member as termination payments and unpaid amounts under any swap, cap, forward, future or other derivative transaction entered into in connection with the hedging of interest rates under the Credit Agreement, and minus amounts required to be paid to the Class B Member constituting amounts owed by the counterparty under any such swap, cap, forward, future or other derivative transaction as termination payments and unpaid amounts under any such swap, cap, forward, future or other derivative transaction. In the event any such Required Governmental Authorizations shall not have been obtained or such sufficient cash is not available by the date that is otherwise scheduled to be the Class B COC Closing Date, then such Class B COC Closing date shall automatically be delayed until such date as all such Required Governmental Authorizations have been obtained or such sufficient cash is not available and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Class B COC Purchase Price set forth in the Class B COC Notice shall be calculated from the Effective Date until such date as all such Required Governmental Authorizations and sufficient cash have been obtained. Each Class B Member hereby agrees that, in connection with the Class B COC Closing, such Class B Member (or its Affiliates) shall borrow under such Margin Loan Agreement the maximum amount available thereunder, to the extent necessary to repay, and shall use such borrowings, together with any cash received as part of the Class B COC Purchase Price and any other cash or cash equivalents of the Class B Member, to repay, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, all of such Class B Member’s then outstanding indebtedness and all other indebtedness pursuant to which the Class B Units are Encumbered (other than indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement). To the extent that the proceeds from the Margin Loan Agreement, together with any cash paid as a portion of the Class B COC Purchase Price and all cash on hand of the Class B Member, are insufficient to repay in full all indebtedness of the Class B Member (and any other indebtedness pursuant to which the Class B Units are Encumbered), then the Class B Members shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain additional or substitute financing on commercially reasonable terms in such amount as is sufficient to repay in full the amount of all indebtedness and other obligations (including, without limitation, swap, cap, forward, future, or other derivative transactions of the nature described above) of the Class B Members or pursuant to which the Class B Units are Encumbered, such that all Encumbrances on the Class B Units shall be released on or prior to the Class B COC Closing. Following consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 7.04, the Managing Member will amend this Agreement to reflect the withdrawal of such COC Member and the transfer of such COC Member’s Class B Units effective as of the Class B COC Closing.

(e) In the event that NEP Member shall be required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to pay to GEPIF a Commitment Fee (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the payment of such Commitment Fee shall be disregarded in calculating the Internal Rate of Return of GEPIF for purposes of determining the Class B COC Purchase Price.

(f) Each Member agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, the Managing Member, and NEP to effect the Class B COC Closing, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all applicable Governmental Authorizations, terminating and releasing all Encumbrances on the applicable Class B Units (other than those created by this Agreement or securities Laws), and entering into any agreements and instruments and executing any certificates or other documents the Managing Member reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to consummate the Disposition of the applicable Class B Units. The Class B Members and NEP agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Transfer Agent to record the issuance of Non-Voting NEP Common Units to the COC Member (or its nominee).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.04(a), with respect to any and all Class B Units held by GEPIF, so long as (i) Global Energy & Power Infrastructure II Advisors, L.L.C. or any of its Affiliates Controls the Blocker Parent, (ii) the Blocker has engaged in no business activities other than its organizational activities, acquiring, accepting, owning, and holding the equity interests of GEPIF, which equity interests constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of GEPIF, and activities incidental thereto, and has no material liabilities, and (iii) GEPIF has engaged in no business activities other than its organizational activities, acquiring, financing, accepting, owning, and holding the Class B Units and activities incidental thereto, and has no material liabilities, then, unless GEPIF provides written notice to NEP Member within five (5) days of receipt of the Change of Control Notice that it does not wish for NEP Member (or its permitted assignee) to purchase all of the Blocker Interests pursuant to the Class B COC Option, NEP Member (or its permitted assignee) shall purchase all of the Blocker Interests rather than the outstanding Class B Units held by GEPIF, on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth herein for the purchase of Class B Units pursuant to the Class B COC Option, and Blocker Parent will convey all right, title, and interest in and to the Blocker Interests (and indirectly the equity interests of GEPIF, together with the Class B Units held by GEPIF), free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer created by this Agreement or applicable securities Laws), to NEP Member or its permitted assignee. Unless the Class B Member exercises the option not to have the Blocker Interests purchased as set forth in this Section 7.04(g), references elsewhere in this Section 7.04 to Class B Units or to a Class B Member selling Class B Units shall be to the Blocker Interests and Blocker Parent, respectively, and the other terms of this Section 7.04 shall apply mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto will take all actions necessary to effect the Class B COC Closing as the purchase of the Blocker Interests rather than the purchase of the Class B Units.

(h) Until the Credit Agreement Payment in Full, the Class B Member agrees that it shall not incur indebtedness for borrowed money under the Credit Agreement or otherwise, in excess of the amount of indebtedness borrowed under the Credit Agreement on the Effective Date plus the amount of indebtedness for borrowed money subsequently incurred under the Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof or (provided that the aggregate amount of all indebtedness for borrowed money of the Class B Member under the Credit Agreement following the effectiveness of any such changes in terms shall not exceed the Maximum Amount immediately prior to such changes) on terms not less favorable to the Class A Members, plus amounts under any swap, cap, forward, future, or other derivative transactions of the nature described in Section 7.04(d), plus $1,000,000.00. The Class B Member further agrees that it shall not take any actions or omit to take any actions which result in Encumbrances on the Class B Units securing debt for borrowed money in an aggregate amount in excess of $1,000,000.00, other than Encumbrances that secure the obligations of the Class B Member under the Credit Agreement or any related loan documents and under any swap, cap, forward, future or other derivative transactions of the nature described in Section 7.04(d).

7.05 Non-Voting NEP Common Units.

(a) Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the NEP Limited Partnership Agreement, (i) each Non-Voting NEP Common Unit shall automatically convert into

one (1) NEP Common Unit immediately upon its Disposition to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Class B Member Disposing of such Non-Voting NEP Common Unit; and (ii) each Class B Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units held by it into NEP Common Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, NEP shall not effect any such conversion, and the Class B Members shall not have the right to convert any Non-Voting NEP Common Units to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Optional Conversion Notice (as such term is defined in the NEP Limited Partnership Agreement), the Class B Member (together with such Class B Member’s Affiliates and any other Persons acting as a group with the Class B Member or any of the Class B Member’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of 19.8% of the number of NEP Common Units outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of this Section 7.05, beneficial ownership and the beneficial ownership percentage shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including taking into account any other securities held by the Class B Member or any of the Attribution Parties that are convertible into NEP Common Units, as applicable. NEP hereby agrees that it shall not, without the consent of the Class B Members, alter, amend, or waive any provision of the NEP Limited Partnership Agreement in a manner that would require the consent of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units if the Non-Voting NEP Common Units were outstanding and held solely by the Class B Members.

(b) In the event of a Disposition of Non-Voting NEP Common Units, NEP hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the conversion of such Non-Voting NEP Common Units in connection with such Disposition, including coordinating with the Transfer Agent to facilitate such Disposition and to record the transfer and conversion of Non-Voting NEP Common Units in a manner that permits the sale of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units in market transactions.

7.06 Certain Assistance. In the event that NEP Member does not exercise the Call Option prior to expiration of the Call Option Period (or, if applicable, the Call Option Period Extension), then NEP Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Class B Members in connection with a private placement of the Class B Units then held by such Class B Members and their Affiliates (or then held by the lenders under the Debt Financing (as that term is used in the Purchase Agreement)). In furtherance of the foregoing, the Managing Member shall, and shall cause the Company and its subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with, provide reasonable assistance with respect to, and take customary actions reasonably requested by the Class B Members, including (a) making the Company’s properties, books and records, and other assets reasonably available for inspection by potential acquirers, (b) establishing a physical or electronic data room that includes materials customarily made available to potential acquirers in connection with such processes, (c) upon reasonable notice, making employees of the Managing Member, the Company, and its Affiliates reasonably available for presentations, site visits, interviews, and other diligence activities, and (d) reasonably assisting in the termination of Encumbrances on the Class B Units under any Class B Permitted Loan Financing and in the perfection of any security interest of other Encumbrances on the Class B Units by the lenders of any such potential acquirers, subject, in each case, to customary confidentiality provisions; provided that none of the foregoing actions

unreasonably interferes with the operation of any business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Class B Members and their Affiliates shall, promptly upon written request by NEP Member, reimburse NEP Member and its Affiliates for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), to the extent such costs, fees, and expenses are incurred by such Person or any of the directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees, stockholders, representatives, advisors, or Affiliates of such Person in connection with any such Person’s complying with the obligations under this Section 7.06.

7.07 Governmental Authorizations.

(a) In furtherance and not in limitation of each Member’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.02, Section 7.03, and Section 7.04, each Member shall cooperate with the Managing Member and each other Member and shall use reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and to do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper, or advisable on its part to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable, including preparing and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable all documentation to obtain all Required Governmental Authorizations, including under the HSR Act and as may be required by the FERC. The Company shall pay all filing fees to obtain such Required Governmental Authorizations.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Members agrees that, to the extent the Managing Member determines that any Required Governmental Authorization is needed in connection with the occurrence of the Flip Date or the consummation of the Call Option, the NEP Change of Control Option, or the Class B COC Option, the applicable Members (and their respective subsidiaries, if applicable) shall file, or cause to be filed, all appropriate notifications, applications, and filings in connection therewith, including pursuant to the HSR Act and as may be required by the FERC, as promptly as practicable and shall promptly supply any additional information and documentary material that may be requested of such Person by the applicable Governmental Authorities in connection with the HSR Act or any other Law. Each of the Members agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to promptly furnish any information required to be submitted to comply with any request for information or equivalent request from the relevant Governmental Authorities. Each of the Members agrees to (A) give the other Members prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, litigation, hearing, examination, action, or proceeding with respect to any Governmental Authorization sought hereby; (B) keep the Managing Member reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, litigation, hearing, examination, action, or proceeding; and (C) promptly inform the Managing Member of any material or substantive communication to or from any Governmental Authority to the extent regarding any Governmental Authorization sought hereby and provide a copy of all written communications. Each of the Members further agrees, to the extent not prohibited by Law, to consult the Managing Member on all the information relating to such Member that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority. Each party shall cause its respective counsel to furnish each other party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of necessary filings or submissions under the provisions of the HSR Act or any other

Law. Each party shall cause its counsel to supply to each other party copies of the date-stamped receipt copy of the cover letters delivering the filings or submissions required under the HSR Act to any Governmental Authority and shall provide prompt notification to the other party when it becomes aware that any consent or approval is obtained, taken, made, given, or denied, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Managing Member shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy for obtaining any necessary Governmental Authorizations and shall take the lead in all meetings and communications with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining any necessary Governmental Authorizations; provided that no party shall participate in any meeting or substantive discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings or related investigations or other inquires unless, to the extent not prohibited by Law, it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Authority and Law, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting.

(c) Each of the Members agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and any other Law, and, in furtherance of the foregoing, each Member agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate as soon as possible each and every impediment under the HSR Act and any other Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority so as to enable the Members hereto to promptly consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Member (and no Parent, subsidiary, or Affiliate of a Member) shall be required to take any of the following actions (or any action that would require a Member (or its Parent, subsidiaries, Affiliates or, in the case of a Class B Member, any direct or indirect portfolio company of investment funds advised or managed by one or more Affiliates of such Class B Member or any investment of such Class B Member or an Affiliate of such Class B Member in connection therewith) to take any of the following actions): (i) committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, or otherwise, the divestiture, sale, license, transfer, assignment, or other disposition of assets or business of such Persons; (ii) terminating, relinquishing, modifying, transferring, assigning, restructuring, or waiving existing agreements, collaborations, contractual rights, obligations, or other arrangements of such Persons; (iii) creating or consenting to create any contractual rights, obligations, tolling agreements, or other arrangements of such Persons, or (iv) otherwise limiting the freedom of action with respect to, any assets, rights, products, licenses, business, operations, or interests therein of any such Persons.

To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not elect the Alternative Method with respect to a Covered Audit Adjustment, the Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) request information necessary to, and to make any modifications available under Sections 6225(c) of the Code to the extent that such modifications are available (taking into account whether the Partnership Representative has received any needed information on a timely basis from the Members and former Members) and would reduce any Company Level Taxes payable by the Company with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment, and (b) if requested by a Member, provide to such Member information allowing such Member to file an amended U.S. federal income tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code, to the extent that such amended return and payment of any related U.S. federal income taxes would reduce any Company Level Taxes payable by the Company with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment (after taking into account any modifications described in clause (a)). Similar procedures shall be followed in connection with any state or local income tax audit that incorporates rules similar to Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any taxes, penalties, and interest payable under the Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code by the Company (“Company Level Taxes”) shall be treated as attributable to the Members (and former Members if applicable) of the Company, and the Partnership Representative shall cause the Company to allocate the burden of any such Company Level Taxes to those Members (and former Members if applicable) to whom such amounts are reasonably attributable (whether as a result of their status, actions, inactions, or otherwise), taking into account the effect of any modifications described in Section 8.03(e) that reduce the amount of Company Level Taxes. All Company Level Taxes allocated to a Member (or a former Member if applicable), at the option of the Managing Member, shall (i) be promptly paid to the Company by such Member (or former Member if applicable) (“Option A”) or (ii) be paid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member pursuant to Section 5.01 and, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member pursuant to Section 5.02 (“Option B”). If the Managing Member selects Option A, the Company’s payment of the Company Level Taxes allocated to the applicable Member (or former Member if applicable) shall be treated as a distribution to such Member (or former Member) and the payment by such Member (or former Member) to the Company shall be treated as a capital contribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that such payments shall not affect the Capital Accounts of, any other contributions to be made by, or the distributions and allocations to be made to the applicable Members (or former Member) under this Agreement. If the Managing Member selects Option B, the applicable Member shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as having received a distribution of the amount of its allocable share of the Company Level Taxes at the time such Company Level Taxes are paid by the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Member (whether or not such Member becomes a Member after the Effective Date) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members (or former Members if applicable) from and against any liability for Company Level Taxes allocated to such Member in accordance with this Section 8.03(f) (including with respect to any former Member, any Company Level Taxes allocated to such former Member that are

attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) during which such former Member was treated as holding an interest in the Company).

(g) If any Member intends to file a notice of inconsistent treatment under Code Section 6222(c), such Member shall give reasonable notice under the circumstances to the other Members of such intent and the manner in which the Member’s intended treatment of an item is (or may be) inconsistent with the treatment of that item by the other Members.

(h) Except as may be required by Law, the Managing Member and the Company shall not make any election or take any action, including such elections or actions specifically authorized under this Section 8.03, that reasonably would be expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on GEPIF or its direct or indirect investors.

ARTICLE 9

BOOKS, RECORDS, REPORTS, INFORMATION UPDATES, AND BANK ACCOUNTS

9.01 Maintenance of Books.

(a) The Managing Member shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Company or at such other location it deems necessary or appropriate complete and accurate books and records of the Company, including all books and records necessary to provide to the Members any information required to be provided pursuant to Section 3.07, Section 9.02 and Section 9.03, supporting documentation of the transactions with respect to the conduct of the Company’s business, and minutes of the proceedings of its Members and the Managing Member, and any other books and records that are required to be maintained by applicable Law.

(b) The books of account of the Company shall be (i) maintained on the basis of a fiscal year that is the calendar year; (ii) maintained on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP; and (iii) audited by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm selected by the Managing Member and retained by the Company at the end of each Fiscal Year; provided that the Members’ Capital Accounts shall be maintained in accordance with Article 4 and Article 5.

9.02 Determination of Internal Rate of Return.

(a) Quarterly Determinations. For so long as the Class B Units are held by GEPIF or its Affiliates, the Managing Member will (i) calculate at least quarterly the Internal Rate of Return achieved by GEPIF and (ii) send GEPIF, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Quarter, a report in the form of the IRR Report showing the Internal Rate of Return as of such date. The Managing Member will make its advisors available to answer any questions regarding the calculations contained in any such IRR Report.

(b) Calculation Rules and Conventions. The Managing Member will employ the following calculation rules and conventions in determining the Internal Rate of Return of GEPIF:

(i) Continuity of Ownership. The Managing Member will treat ownership of the Class B Units as being continuous from the Effective Date to the date as of which the calculation is being made without regard to any change in ownership of the Class B Units during such period.

(ii) Cash Flows. The “Cash Flows” taken into account in determining the Internal Rate of Return will consist solely of (A) the aggregate Effective Date Capital Contributions made by the Class B Members in exchange for the Class B Units on the Effective Date and any additional Capital Contributions made by the Class B Member pursuant to Section 4.04 and (B) distributions to the Class B Members. Any amount received by the Class B Members that is in the nature of a recovery or replacement of, or indemnity or compensation for, and is the substantial economic equivalent of, an item that would otherwise be taken into account in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) (which for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any recovery, or replacement of, or indemnity or compensation for, actual out-of-pocket losses, costs or expenses of the Class B Members) will be deemed received for purposes of the calculation of the Internal Rate of Return on the date so received by such Class B Member (or its nominee).

(c) Any dispute by a Class B Member of any item or procedure or calculation of, or which affects, the achievement of the Internal Rate of Return contained in any notice or report delivered to the Class B Members will be disputed in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Article 11.

9.03 Reports.

(a) No later than one hundred seventy-five (175) days following the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the Managing Member shall prepare and deliver to each Member annual financial statements audited by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm and prepared in accordance with GAAP, including a balance sheet, an income statement, a statement of cash flows, and a statement of changes in each Member’s equity as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year, starting with the year ended December 31, 2018, and any other financial information as is provided by the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to the Project Financings.

(b) No later than seventy-five (75) days following the last day of each of the first three Quarters of each fiscal year, the Managing Member shall prepare and deliver to each Member an unaudited consolidated balance sheet, income statement, and a statement of cash flows for such Quarter; provided that the Managing Member shall prepare and deliver to each Member an unaudited consolidated balance sheet for the fourth Quarter of each fiscal year no later than ninety (90) days following the last day of such Quarter. All unaudited financial statements and other information shall be based on the best information available at the time of issuance, be prepared in conformance with GAAP, and be timely updated and provided to Members to the extent audit or other adjustments are made to information previously provided to the Members with the objective of cooperatively providing each Member with information necessary to maintain its own books and records.

(c) Concurrent with the distribution to the Project Financing Parties, the Managing Member shall provide to each Member any report, financial statements, or other information that is to be distributed to the Project Financing Parties pursuant to the Project Financings.

(d) In addition to its obligations set forth above, the Managing Member shall timely prepare and deliver to any Member or its Parent, upon request, all of such additional financial statements, notes thereto and additional financial information as may be required in order for each Member, its Parent, or an Affiliate of such Member or its Parent to comply with any reporting requirements under (i) the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (ii) the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or (iii) any National Securities Exchange or automated quotation system.

(e) The cost of preparing any financial statements or other information pursuant to this Section 9.03 shall be borne by the Company.

9.04 Information Updates.

(a) The Managing Member shall notify the Class B Members of the occurrence of any Emergency or material risk of Emergency, material developments or events which would or would reasonably be likely to impact the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and any breaches or threatened breaches of any Affiliate Transactions or other material contracts to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, including (for the avoidance of doubt) any breach or threatened breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under the Purchase Agreement. The Managing Member shall provide notice of the foregoing events promptly, but in no event more than two (2) Business Days following the date on which the Managing Member becomes aware of such events.

(b) After expiration of the Call Option Period (or Call Option Period Extension, if applicable), as requested by the Class B Members upon reasonable advance notice, and at reasonable times during usual business hours and in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operation of the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Managing Member will make employees and representatives of the Company and its subsidiaries available to answer questions regarding the performance of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.

9.05 Bank Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain one or more separate bank and investment accounts and arrangements for Company funds in the Company’s name with such financial institutions and firms as the Managing Member may determine. Funds of the Company shall be deposited in such banks or other depositories as shall be designated from time to time by the Managing Member. The Company’s funds may not be commingled with the funds of any other Person. All withdrawals from any such depository shall be made only as authorized by the Managing Member and shall be made only by check, wire transfer, debit memorandum, or other written instruction.

ARTICLE 10

WITHDRAWAL

10.01 No Right of Voluntary Withdrawal. A Member has no power or right to voluntarily Withdraw from the Company without the prior written consent of all remaining Members, in their sole and absolute discretion.

10.02 Deemed Withdrawal. A Member is deemed to have Withdrawn from the Company if such Member dissolves and commences liquidation or winding-up. If there occurs an event that makes it unlawful for a Member to continue to be a Member, then the Members shall negotiate in good faith to determine a workaround to allow such Member to continue to be a Member.

10.03 Effect of Withdrawal. A Member that is deemed to have Withdrawn pursuant to Section 10.02 (a “Withdrawn Member”) must comply with the following requirements in connection with its deemed Withdrawal:

(a) The Withdrawn Member ceases to be a Member immediately upon the occurrence of the applicable Withdrawal event.

(b) The Withdrawn Member shall not be entitled to receive any distributions from the Company except as set forth in Section 10.03(e), to exercise any voting or consent rights, or to receive any further information (or access to information) from the Company. The Percentage Interest of such Withdrawn Member shall not be taken into account in calculating the Percentage Interests of the remaining Members for any purposes.

(d) The Withdrawn Member shall remain obligated for all liabilities it may have under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Company that accrued prior to the Withdrawal.

(e) The Withdrawn Member shall (i) have the status of only an Assignee, and not a Member, and (ii) be entitled to receive, in such capacity, its share of the Net Profits and Net Losses of the Company and to receive its portion of each distribution that is made by the Company pursuant to Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 as if it held the Membership Interest held immediately prior to its Withdrawal. From the date of the Withdrawal to the date on which the Company is dissolved and its affairs wound up in accordance with Article 12, the former Capital Account balance of the Withdrawn Member shall be recorded as a contingent obligation of the Company, and not as a Capital Account. The rights of a Withdrawn Member under this Section 10.03(e) shall (A) be subordinate to the rights of any other creditor of the Company, (B) not include any right on the part of the Withdrawn Member to receive any interest or other amounts with respect thereto (except as may otherwise be provided in the evidence of any Indebtedness of the Company owed to such Withdrawn Member); (C) not require any Member to make a Capital Contribution or a loan to permit the Company to make a distribution or otherwise to pay the

Withdrawn Member; and (D) be treated as a liability of the Company for purposes of Section 12.02.

(f) Except as set forth in Section 10.03(e), a Withdrawn Member shall not be entitled to receive any return of its Capital Contributions or other payment from the Company in respect of its Membership Interest.

(g) The Percentage Interests of the remaining Members shall be amended to reflect the Withdrawal of the Withdrawn Member, and such Withdrawn Member’s Class A Units or Class B Units, as applicable, shall be deemed cancelled and extinguished.

(h) All costs and expenses incurred by the Withdrawn Member in connection with its Withdrawal shall be borne by such Withdrawn Member, and the Withdrawn Member shall reimburse all other Members for all costs and expenses incurred by such Members in connection with such Withdrawal.

ARTICLE 11

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.01 Disputes. This Article 11 shall apply to any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement (whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, and whether arising at law or in equity), including (a) any dispute regarding the construction, interpretation, performance, validity, or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement or whether any Person is in compliance with, or breach of, any provisions of this Agreement, and (b) subject to Section 11.02, any deadlock among the Members with respect to any matter subject to a vote of the Members, and (c) the applicability of this Article 11 to a particular dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article 11 shall not apply to any matters that, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, are to be determined solely by the Managing Member. Any dispute to which this Article 11 applies is referred to herein as a “Dispute.” With respect to a particular Dispute, each Member that is a party to such Dispute is referred to herein as a “Disputing Member.” The provisions of this Article 11 shall be the exclusive method of resolving Disputes.

11.02 Negotiation to Resolve Disputes. If a Dispute arises, the Disputing Members (or agents thereof) shall promptly meet (whether by telephone or in person) in a good faith attempt to resolve the Dispute.

11.03 Courts. If a Dispute is still unresolved following ten (10) Business Days after the Disputing Members attempted in good faith to resolve the Dispute in accordance with Section 11.02, then any of such Disputing Members may submit such Dispute to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, in the event that such Court does not have jurisdiction over the subject matter of such dispute, to another court of the State of Delaware or a U.S. federal court located in the State of Delaware (collectively, “Delaware Courts”). Each of the Members irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and agrees not to commence any action, suit, or proceeding relating to a Dispute except in, the Delaware Courts and hereby consents to service of process in any such Dispute by the delivery of such process to such party at the address and in the manner provided in Section 13.01. Each of the Members hereby irrevocably and

unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue in any Dispute in the Delaware Courts and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any action, suit, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH MEMBER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, suit, OR PROCEEDING arising out of, relating to or otherwise WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT or any transaction contemplated hereby.

11.04 Specific Performance. The Members understand and agree that (a) irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms, (b) although monetary damages may be available for the breach of such covenants and agreements such monetary damages are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement, would be an inadequate remedy therefor and shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Member’s or the Company’s right to specific performance, and (c) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right none of the Members would have entered into this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages, each of the Members and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each of the Members further agrees that neither the Company nor any Member shall be required to obtain, furnish, or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 11.04, and each Member waives any objection to the imposition of such relief or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing, or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

ARTICLE 12

DISSOLUTION, WINDING-UP AND TERMINATION

12.01 Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to occur of the following events (each a “Dissolution Event”):

(a) unanimous consent of all of the Members to dissolve the Company; or

(b) an event that makes it unlawful for the business of the Company to be carried on; provided that, if such an event occurs, then the Members shall negotiate in good faith to determine a workaround to allow the business of the Company to be lawfully carried on and such event shall not be deemed a “Dissolution Event” unless and until the Members mutually agree that no such workaround is reasonably feasible.

Each Member hereby waives its right to make an application for the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 18-802 of the Act.

12.02 Winding-Up and Termination. (a) On the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Managing Member shall, or shall designate another Person to, serve as liquidator. The

liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of winding-up shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Members. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(i) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final winding-up, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the liquidator’s choosing of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last calendar day of the month in which the dissolution occurs or the final winding-up is completed, as applicable;

(ii) the liquidator shall discharge from Company funds all of the Indebtedness of the Company and other debts, liabilities, expenses, and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in winding-up and any loans described in Section 4.05) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and

(iii) all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

(A) the liquidator may sell any or all Company property, including to Members, and any resulting gain or loss from each sale shall be computed and allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Members in accordance with the provisions of Article 5;

(B) with respect to all Company property that has not been sold, the fair market value of that property shall be determined and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, and deduction inherent in property that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously would be allocated among the Members if there were a taxable disposition of that property for the fair market value of that property on the date of distribution, as determined by the Managing Member in its reasonable discretion (it being agreed by the Members that a determination by the Managing Member that the fair market value of any such property equals the value of such property reflected in current financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP shall be deemed reasonable); and

(C) Company property (including cash) shall be distributed among the Members in accordance with Section 5.02; and those distributions shall be made by the end of the Fiscal Year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation).

(iv) If, after giving effect to all allocations, distributions and contributions for all periods (other than those required by this Section 12.02(a)(iv)), the NEP Member has a deficit in its Capital Account balance following the “liquidation,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), of the NEP Member’s Membership Interest, the NEP Member will be obligated to contribute cash to the Company in an amount equal to such deficit balance by the end of the Fiscal Year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs, or if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation, except that the restoration obligation of the NEP Member in the aggregate pursuant to this Section 12.02(a)(iv) shall not be more than thirty percent (30%) of the NEP Member’s Effective Date Capital Contribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the NEP Member will have the unilateral right by written notice to the Managing Member to (1) increase the amount of its deficit restoration obligation over the amount described in the immediately preceding sentence or (2) decrease the amount of, or eliminate, its deficit restoration obligation at any time in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(f); (B) after the Flip Date, at the end of any Fiscal Year in which the NEP Member’s deficit restoration obligation exceeds the absolute value of the NEP Member’s deficit Capital Account balance, such deficit restoration obligation shall be automatically reduced in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(f) to equal such absolute value; and (C) the NEP Member’s deficit restoration obligation will be eliminated in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(f) on the first date on or after the Flip Date on which the Capital Account balance of the NEP Member is equal to or greater than zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no other Member shall have any obligation to restore any deficit in its Capital Account balance unless and until such deficit restoration obligation is consented to in writing by the Managing Member.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.03 to the contrary, in the Fiscal Year or other applicable period in which a Dissolution Event occurs, items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after giving effect to such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount of the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 5.02.

(c) The distribution of cash or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.02 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its Membership Interest and all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented pursuant to Section 18-502(b) of the Act. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for those funds.

(d) No dissolution or termination of the Company shall relieve a Member from any obligation to the extent such obligation has accrued as of the date of such dissolution or termination. Upon such termination, any books and records of the Company that the liquidator reasonably determines may ever be needed again by one or more Persons who were Members as of the dissolution or termination shall be retained by the Managing Member or its designee, who shall keep such books and records (subject to review by any Person that was a Member at the

time of dissolution) for a period at least three (3) years. After the expiration of such period of three (3) years, if the Managing Member (or its designee) no longer agrees to keep such books and records, it shall offer the Persons who were Members at the time of dissolution or termination a reasonable opportunity to take over such custody, (i) shall deliver such books and records to such Persons if they elect to take over such custody (or as all of such Persons otherwise direct) and, upon request by any other Person that elects to take custody (and at such other Person’s cost), deliver a copy of such books and records to such other Person, or (ii) may destroy such books and records if no such Person so elects.

12.03 Deficit Capital Accounts. Except as provided in Section 12.02(a)(iv), no Member will be required to pay to the Company, to any other Member or to any third party any deficit balance that may exist from time to time in its or another Member’s Capital Account.

12.04 Certificate of Cancellation. On completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Members (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to Section 2.06, and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the existence of the Company. Upon the filing of such certificate of cancellation, the existence of the Company shall terminate (and the Term shall end), except as may be otherwise provided by the Act or other applicable Law.

ARTICLE 13

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.01 Notices. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests, or consents provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered to the recipient in person, by courier or mail, or by facsimile or other electronic transmission, including electronic mail. A notice, request, or consent given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the applicable Member. All notices, requests and consents to be sent to a Member must be sent to or made at the addresses given for that Member on Exhibit A or such other address as that Member may specify by notice to the Managing Member and the other Members. Any notice, request, or consent to the Company must be given to all of the Members. Whenever any notice is required to be given by Law, the Delaware Certificate, or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

13.02 Entire Agreement; Superseding Effect. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as that term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement of the Members and their Affiliates relating to the Company and the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all provisions and concepts contained in all prior agreements.

13.03 Effect of Waiver or Consent. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Member in the performance by that Member of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or

waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Member of the same or any other obligations of that Member with respect to the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, failure on the part of a Member to complain of any act of any Member or to declare any Member in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Member of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations has run.

13.04 Amendment or Restatement. Each of this Agreement and the Delaware Certificate may, subject to Section 6.03(a)(i), be amended or restated only by a written instrument executed (or, in the case of the Delaware Certificate, approved) by the Managing Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Managing Member may amend this Agreement without the approval of any Members (i) to implement the valid admission of New Members or Assignees as Members; (ii) to correct typographical, formatting, cross-referencing, or other similar errors; and (iii) to update Exhibit A from time to time to reflect the valid admission of New Members, the valid admission of Assignees as Members, the making of additional Capital Contributions by Members, the issuances of Class A Units, Class B Units, or other classes or groups of Membership Interests, and the Disposition of Membership Interests, so long as such transactions were approved and consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) if the Managing Member determines that any amendment of this Agreement is necessary to satisfy any Law, the Members shall negotiate in good faith to enter into an amendment of this Agreement to satisfy such Law that is mutually agreeable.

13.05 Binding Effect. Subject to the restrictions on Dispositions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Members and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

13.06 Governing Law; Severability. THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory, non-waivable provision of the Act, such provision of the Act shall control. If any provision of the Act provides that it may be varied or superseded in a limited liability company agreement (or otherwise by agreement of the members or managers of a limited liability company), such provision shall be deemed superseded and waived in its entirety if this Agreement contains a provision addressing the same issue or subject matter. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Member or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, (a) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Members or circumstances is not affected thereby, and (b) the Members shall negotiate in good faith to replace that provision with a new provision that is valid and enforceable and that puts the Members in substantially the same economic, business, and legal position as they would have been in if the original provision had been valid and enforceable.

13.07 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and

instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those transactions; provided, however, that this Section 13.07 shall not obligate a Member to furnish guarantees or other credit supports by such Member’s Parent or other Affiliates.

13.08 Waiver of Certain Rights. Each Member irrevocably waives any right it may have to maintain any action for dissolution of the Company or for partition of the property of the Company.

13.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

13.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.06, each Member shall bear its own transaction costs and any other costs and expenses incurred in connection with being a Member, holding its Membership Interest, and administering its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or Section 17-305 of the Delaware Act, each of the Partners, each other Person or Group who acquires an interest in a Partnership Interest and each other Person bound by this Agreement hereby agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law that they do not have rights to receive information from the Partnership or any Indemnitee for the purpose of determining whether to pursue litigation or assist in pending litigation against the Partnership or any Indemnitee relating to the affairs of the Partnership except pursuant to the applicable rules of discovery relating to litigation commenced by such Person or Group.

ARTICLE IV

CERTIFICATES; RECORD HOLDERS; TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP

INTERESTS; REDEMPTION OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

Section 4.1 Certificates. Owners of Partnership Interests and, where appropriate, Derivative Partnership Interests, shall be recorded in the Register and ownership of such interests shall be evidenced by a physical certificate or book entry notation in the Register. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless the Board of Directors shall determine otherwise in respect of some or all of any or all classes of Partnership Interests and Derivative Partnership Interests, Partnership Interests and Derivative Partnership Interests shall not be evidenced by physical certificates. Certificates, if any, shall be executed on behalf of the Partnership by the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer or any Vice President and the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary or other authorized officer of the Partnership, and shall bear the legend set forth in Section 4.7(c). The signatures of such officers upon a certificate may be facsimiles. In case any officer who has signed or whose signature has been placed upon such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Partnership with the same effect as if he were such officer at the date of its issuance. If a Transfer Agent has been appointed for a class of Partnership Interests, no Certificate for such class of Partnership Interests shall be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by the Transfer Agent; provided, however, that, if the Board of Directors elects to cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Interests of such class in global form, the Certificate shall be valid upon receipt of a certificate from the Transfer Agent certifying that the

Partnership Interests have been duly registered in accordance with the directions of the Partnership. With respect to any Partnership Interests that are represented by physical certificates, the Board of Directors may determine that such Partnership Interests will no longer be represented by physical certificates and may, upon written notice to the holders of such Partnership Interests and subject to applicable law, take whatever actions it deems necessary or appropriate to cause such Partnership Interests to be registered in book entry or global form and may cause such physical certificates to be cancelled or deemed cancelled.

Section 4.2 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

(a) If any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Transfer Agent, the appropriate officers of the Partnership shall execute, and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Certificate evidencing the same number and type of Partnership Interests or Derivative Partnership Interests as the Certificate so surrendered.

(b) The appropriate officers of the Partnership shall execute and deliver, and the Transfer Agent shall countersign, a new Certificate in place of any Certificate previously issued, if the Record Holder of the Certificate:

(i) makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors, that a previously issued Certificate has been lost, destroyed or stolen;

(ii) requests the issuance of a new Certificate before the Partnership has notice that the Certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim;

(iii) if requested by the Partnership, delivers to the Partnership a bond, in form and substance satisfactory to the Partnership, with surety or sureties and with fixed or open penalty as the Partnership may direct to indemnify the Partnership, the Partners, the General Partner and the Transfer Agent against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the Certificate; and

(iv) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Partnership or the Transfer Agent.

If a Limited Partner fails to notify the Partnership within a reasonable period of time after such Limited Partner has notice of the loss, destruction or theft of a Certificate, and a transfer of the Limited Partner Interests represented by the Certificate is registered before the Partnership or the Transfer Agent receives such notification, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Limited Partner shall be precluded from making any claim against the Partnership, the General Partner or the Transfer Agent for such transfer or for a new Certificate.

(c) As a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 4.2, the Partnership may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) reasonably connected therewith.

Section 4.3 Record Holders. The names and addresses of Unitholders as they appear in the Register shall be the official list of Record Holders of the Limited Partner Interests for all purposes. The Partnership and the General Partner shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the Limited Partner with respect to any Limited Partner Interest and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Limited Partner Interest on the part of any other Person or Group, regardless of whether the Partnership or the General Partner shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which such Limited Partner Interests are listed or admitted to trading. Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person or Group in acquiring or holding Partnership Interests, as between the Partnership on the one hand, and such other Person or Group on the other, such representative Person shall be the Limited Partner with respect to such Limited Partner Interest upon becoming the Record Holder in accordance with Article X and have the rights and obligations of a Limited Partner hereunder as, and to the extent, provided herein, including Section 10.1(a).

Section 4.4 Transfer Generally.

(a) The term “transfer,” when used in this Agreement with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction (i) by which the General Partner assigns all or any part of its General Partner Interest to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise or (ii) by which the holder of a Limited Partner Interest assigns all or any part of such Limited Partner Interest to another Person who is a Limited Partner or becomes a Limited Partner as a result thereof, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise, excluding a pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage but including any transfer upon foreclosure of any pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage.

(b) No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article IV. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article IV shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall have no obligation to effect or recognize any such transfer or purported transfer.

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or limit a disposition by any stockholder, member, partner or other owner of the General Partner or any Limited Partner of any or all of such Person’s shares of stock, membership interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests in the General Partner or such Limited Partner, and the term “transfer” shall not include any such disposition.

Section 4.5 Registration and Transfer of Limited Partner Interests.

(a) The Partnership shall keep, or cause to be kept by the Transfer Agent on behalf of the Partnership, the Register. Without limiting the foregoing and without limiting the

discretion of the Board of Directors to change or appoint a new third-party Transfer Agent at any time, on or prior to the Series A Initial Issuance Date the Board of Directors shall appoint the same Transfer Agent for the Common Units to be Transfer Agent for the Series A Preferred Units, and on or prior to the date on which the Partnership issues Non-Voting Common Units the Board of Directors shall appoint the same Transfer Agent for the Common Units to be Transfer Agent for the Non-Voting Common Units.

(b) The Partnership shall not recognize any transfer of Limited Partner Interests evidenced by Certificates until the Certificates evidencing such Limited Partner Interests are surrendered for registration of transfer. No charge shall be imposed by the Partnership for such transfer; provided that, as a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 4.5, the Partnership may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed with respect thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) reasonably connected therewith. Upon surrender of a Certificate for registration of transfer of any Limited Partner Interests evidenced by a Certificate, and subject to the provisions of this Section 4.5(b), the appropriate officers of the Partnership shall execute and deliver, and in the case of Certificates evidencing Limited Partner Interests for which a Transfer Agent has been appointed, the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the holder’s instructions, one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number and type of Limited Partner Interests as was evidenced by the Certificate so surrendered. Upon the proper surrender of a Certificate, such transfer shall be recorded in the Register.

(c) Upon the receipt by the Partnership of proper transfer instructions from the Record Holder of uncertificated Partnership Interests, such transfer shall be recorded in the Register.

(d) By acceptance of any Limited Partner Interests pursuant to a transfer in accordance with this Article IV, each transferee of a Limited Partner Interest (including any nominee, or agent or representative acquiring such Limited Partner Interests for the account of another Person or Group) (i) shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interests so transferred to such Person when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the Register and such Person becomes the Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interests so transferred, (ii) shall become bound, and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound, by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) shall be deemed to represent that the transferee has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and (iv) shall be deemed to make any consents, acknowledgements or waivers contained in this Agreement, all with or without execution of this Agreement by such Person. The transfer of any Limited Partner Interests and the admission of any new Limited Partner shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

(e) Subject to (i) the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5, (ii) Section 4.3, (iii) Section 4.7, (iv) with respect to any class or series of Limited Partner Interests, the provisions of any statement of designations or an amendment to this Agreement establishing such class or series, (v) any contractual provisions binding on any Limited Partner and

(vi) provisions of applicable law, including the Securities Act, Limited Partner Interests shall be freely transferable.

(f) The General Partner and its Affiliates shall have the right at any time to transfer their Common Units to one or more Persons; provided that NEE Equity may not transfer its Special Voting Units to any Person other than to an Affiliate of NEE Equity to which NEE Equity has also transferred the same number of its OpCo Common Units in accordance with the OpCo Partnership Agreement.

Section 4.6 Transfer of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest. The General Partner may transfer all or any part of its General Partner Interest without the consent of any other Partner. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no transfer by the General Partner of all or any part of its General Partner Interest to another Person shall be permitted unless (a) the transferee agrees to assume the rights and duties of the General Partner under this Agreement and to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, (b) the Partnership receives an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner under the Delaware Act and (c) such transferee also agrees to purchase all (or the appropriate portion thereof, if applicable) of the partnership or membership interest the General Partner holds as the general partner or managing member, if any, of each other Group Member. In the case of a transfer pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 4.6, the transferee or successor (as the case may be) shall, subject to compliance with the terms of Section 10.2, be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner effective immediately prior to the transfer of the General Partner Interest, and the business of the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.

Section 4.7 Restrictions on Transfers.

(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, no transfer of any Partnership Interests shall be made if such transfer would (i) violate the then-applicable federal or state securities laws or rules and regulations of the Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authority with jurisdiction over such transfer, (ii) terminate the existence or qualification of the Partnership under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation or (iii) cause the Operating Partnership or the Operating Partnership’s Subsidiaries to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed). The Partnership may issue stop transfer instructions to any Transfer Agent in order to implement any restriction on transfer contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The Board of Directors may impose restrictions on the transfer of Partnership Interests if it receives an Opinion of Counsel that such restrictions are necessary to (i) avoid a significant risk of the Operating Partnership or the Operating Partnership’s Subsidiaries becoming taxable as a corporation or otherwise becoming taxable as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed) or (ii) preserve the uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof). The Board of Directors may impose such restrictions by amending this Agreement; provided, however, that any amendment that would result in the delisting or suspension of trading of any class of Limited Partner Interests on the principal National Securities Exchange on which such class of Limited

Partner Interests is then listed or admitted to trading must be approved, prior to such amendment being effected, by the holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partner Interests of such class and any Outstanding Limited Partner Interest convertible into such class other than any Non-Voting Common Units (regardless of whether such Outstanding Limited Partnership Interest is then convertible), voting together as a single class.

(c) Each certificate or book entry evidencing Partnership Interests (other than Series A Preferred Units) shall bear a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form:

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY ACKNOWLEDGES FOR THE BENEFIT OF NEXTERA ENERGY PARTNERS, LP THAT THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IF SUCH TRANSFER (AS DEFINED IN THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT) WOULD (A) VIOLATE THE THEN APPLICABLE FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY WITH JURISDICTION OVER SUCH TRANSFER OR (B) TERMINATE THE EXISTENCE OR QUALIFICATION OF NEXTERA ENERGY PARTNERS, LP UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE. THIS SECURITY MAY BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON ITS TRANSFER PROVIDED IN THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS SECURITY TO THE SECRETARY OF THE PARTNERSHIP AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE PARTNERSHIP. THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH ABOVE SHALL NOT PRECLUDE THE SETTLEMENT OF ANY TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THIS SECURITY ENTERED INTO THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF ANY NATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY IS LISTED OR ADMITTED TO TRADING.

ARTICLE V

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ISSUANCE OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

Section 5.1 Capital Contributions. Neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner will be required to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 5.2 Interest and Withdrawal.

No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions. No Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to the extent, if any, that distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership may be considered as such by law and then only to the extent provided for in this Agreement. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall have priority over any other Partner either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions. Any such return shall be a compromise to which all Partners agree within the meaning of Section 17-502(b) of the Delaware Act.

Section 5.3 Units.

(a) The Limited Partner Interests of the Limited Partners shall be represented by issued and outstanding Units, which may be divided into one or more types, classes or series, with each type, class or series having the rights and privileges set forth in this Agreement. The Partnership shall maintain a schedule of all Limited Partners from time to time, and the respective Units held by them. Ownership of a Unit shall not entitle a Limited Partner to call for a partition or division of any property of the Partnership or for any accounting. As of the date of this Agreement, the Partnership is authorized to issue Series A Preferred Units, Common Units, Non-Voting Common Units and Special Voting Units. All Series A Preferred Units, Common Units and Special Voting Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the date of this Agreement shall remain issued and outstanding immediately following the date of this Agreement and shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 13.13, each holder of Common Units, and each holder of Special Voting Units, shall be entitled to cast, in person or by proxy, one vote for each Common Unit or Special Voting Unit, as applicable, on all matters upon which Limited Partners have the right to vote as set forth in this Agreement and provided under the Delaware Act. The rights of Series A Preferred Unitholders to vote together with the Common Units are set forth in Section 5.8(b)(iii). The rights of holders of Non-Voting Common Units to vote are set forth in Section 5.9(b)(iii).

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, the number of issued and outstanding Special Voting Units is equal to the number of OpCo Common Units held of record by NEE Equity. In the event that, after the date hereof, NEE Equity becomes the record holder of an additional OpCo Common Unit or ceases to be the record holder of any OpCo Common Unit, the Partnership shall issue Special Voting Units to NEE Equity or cancel Special Voting Units held by NEE Equity, as applicable, such that the number of Special Voting Units held by NEE Equity is equal to the number of OpCo Common Units held by NEE Equity; provided that no Special Voting Units shall be cancelled in connection with a transfer of Special Voting Units by NEE Equity to an Affiliate in accordance with Section 4.5(f). The determination of the Board of Directors as to the number of OpCo Common Units held of record by NEE Equity and the number of Special Voting Units held by NEE Equity shall be made by a good faith determination of the Board of Directors, based on the books and records of the Operating Partnership, which determination shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Partners.

(c) At such time as the Partnership issues Non-Voting Common Units, the Partnership shall contribute the cash proceeds or other consideration received from the issuance of such Non-Voting Common Units to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a number of OpCo Non-Voting Common Units equal to the number of Non-Voting Common Units so issued.

Section 5.4 Issuances of Additional Partnership Interests.

(a) Subject to Section 5.8(b)(iv), the Partnership may issue additional Partnership Interests (other than General Partner Interests) and Derivative Partnership Interests for any Partnership purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors shall determine, all without the approval of any Partner; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not issue any additional Common Units, Non-Voting Common Units, Series A Preferred Units or Series A

Parity Securities unless the Partnership contributes the cash proceeds or other consideration received from the issuance of such additional Common Units, Non-Voting Common Units, Series A Preferred Units or Series A Parity Securities in exchange for an equivalent number of OpCo Common Units, OpCo Non-Voting Common Units, OpCo Preferred Units or OpCo Series A Parity Securities, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership may (x) issue Common Units (i) pursuant to employee benefit plans or pursuant to the Exchange Agreement or (ii) pursuant to a distribution (including any split or combination) of Common Units to all of the holders of Common Units pursuant to Section 5.6 and (y) issue Non-Voting Common Units pursuant to a distribution (including any split or combination) of Non-Voting Common Units to all of the holders of Non-Voting Common Units pursuant to Section 5.9(b)(v)(E).

(b) Each additional Partnership Interest authorized to be issued by the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.4(a) may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing classes and series of Partnership Interests), as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, including (i) the right to share in Partnership profits and losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may or shall be required to redeem the Partnership Interest; (v) whether such Partnership Interest is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each Partnership Interest will be issued, evidenced by Certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Percentage Interest as to such Partnership Interest; and (viii) the right, if any, of each such Partnership Interest to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative rights, preferences and privileges of such Partnership Interest.

(c) The Board of Directors shall take all actions that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with (i) each issuance of Partnership Interests and Derivative Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 5.4, (ii) the conversion of the Combined Interest into Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) reflecting admission of such additional Limited Partners in the Register as the Record Holders of such Limited Partner Interests and (iv) all additional issuances of Partnership Interests. The Board of Directors shall determine the relative rights, powers and duties of the holders of the Units or other Partnership Interests being so issued. The Board of Directors shall do all things necessary to comply with the Delaware Act and is authorized and directed to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any future issuance of Partnership Interests or in connection with the conversion of the Combined Interest into Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including compliance with any statute, rule, regulation or guideline of any federal, state or other governmental agency or any National Securities Exchange on which the Units or other Partnership Interests are listed or admitted to trading.

(d) No fractional Units shall be issued by the Partnership.

Section 5.5 Limited Preemptive Right.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 5.5 or as otherwise provided in a separate agreement by the Partnership, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other

similar right with respect to the issuance of any Partnership Interest, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created.

(b) The General Partner shall have the right, which it may from time to time assign in whole or in part to any of its Affiliates, to purchase Partnership Interests from the Partnership whenever, and on the same terms that, the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, to the extent necessary to maintain the Adjusted Percentage Interests of the General Partner and its Affiliates equal to that which existed immediately prior to the issuance of such Partnership Interests.

(c) After the Series A Initial Issuance Date, for as long as any Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser or any of its then-Affiliates continues to own any Series A Preferred Units, such Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser (or its then-Affiliate designees) shall have the right to purchase any Series A Preferred Units or Series A Parity Securities proposed to be issued by the Partnership (other than any Series A PIK Units or any Series A Parity Security PIK units) to any Person other than the Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers or their Affiliates in an amount equal to the number of such Series A Preferred Units or Series A Parity Securities required in order to maintain such Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser’s (and its Affiliates that own Series A Preferred Units) Adjusted Percentage Interest (assuming conversion of any outstanding convertible securities) equal to that which existed immediately prior to the issuance of such Series A Preferred Units or Series A Parity Securities, on the same terms and conditions that apply to all offerees in such transaction. In the event of a proposed transaction giving rise to any Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser’s preemptive rights under the foregoing sentence, the Partnership shall provide notice to the Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers by sending notice to the BlackRock Purchaser (on behalf of itself and as representative of the other Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers and any such Affiliates and to the BlackRock Purchaser Notice Address) no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the expected consummation of such transaction. The BlackRock Purchaser shall provide notice (on behalf of itself and/or any other Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers) of its and any other Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser’s (and its Affiliates that own Series A Preferred Units) election to exercise its or their preemptive rights within five (5) Business Days after the Partnership gives the notice described in the immediately preceding sentence by delivering such notice to the Partnership at both of the following physical addresses (or such other address or addresses as the Partnership may designate in writing to the BlackRock Purchaser from time to time):

NextEra Energy Partners, LP

000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx,

Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000

Attention: Treasurer

and

NextEra Energy Partners, LP

000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx,

Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000

Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxxx

With a copy to (which shall not constitute notice):

NextEra Energy Partners, LP

000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx,

Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000

Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxx

Email: Xxxx.Xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx

If no notice from the BlackRock Purchaser is received by the Partnership within the specified time, neither the BlackRock Purchaser nor any other Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser (or any of their Affiliates) shall have any further preemptive rights with respect to such proposed transaction. The Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers may not transfer their preemptive rights under this Section 5.5(c) (on behalf of itself and/or its Affiliates) (other than to its Affiliates), and each Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser, and its Affiliates and Affiliate transferees, shall no longer have preemptive rights under this Section 5.5(c) after the occurrence of a Series A Purchaser Change of Control with respect to such Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser. The BlackRock Purchaser may not transfer any of the rights or obligations to give or receive notices hereunder (on behalf of itself and/or any Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser or any of its or their Affiliates), without the express written consent of the Partnership. Following such time as the BlackRock Purchaser ceases to own Series A Preferred Units, the BlackRock Purchaser may continue to give or receive notices under this Section 5.5(c) on behalf of any other Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser or any of its Affiliates who continue to have rights under this Section 5.5(c).

Section 5.6 Splits and Combinations.

(a) Subject to Section 5.6(d), the Partnership may make a Pro Rata distribution of Partnership Interests to all Record Holders or may effect a subdivision or combination of Partnership Interests so long as, after any such event, each Partner shall have the same Percentage Interest in the Partnership as before such event (subject to the effect of Section 5.8(b)(vi)(E)), and any amounts calculated on a per Unit basis or stated as a number of Units are proportionately adjusted; provided, however, that the Partnership may not effect a subdivision or combination of Partnership Interests described in this Section 5.6(a) unless the Operating Partnership also effects an equivalent subdivision or combination.

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination of Partnership Interests is declared, the Board of Directors shall select a Record Date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective and shall send notice thereof at least twenty (20) days prior to such Record Date to each Record Holder as of a date not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such notice (or such shorter periods as required by applicable law). The Board of Directors also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of Partnership Interests to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

(c) Promptly following any such distribution, subdivision or combination, the Partnership may issue Certificates or uncertificated Partnership Interests to the Record Holders

of Partnership Interests as of the applicable Record Date representing the new number of Partnership Interests held by such Record Holders, or the Board of Directors may adopt such other procedures that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to reflect such changes. If any such combination results in a smaller total number of Partnership Interests Outstanding, the Partnership shall require, as a condition to the delivery to a Record Holder of Partnership Interests represented by Certificates, the surrender of any Certificate held by such Record Holder immediately prior to such Record Date.

(d) The Partnership shall not issue fractional Units upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Units. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Units would result in the issuance of fractional Units but for the provisions of Section 5.4(d) and this Section 5.6(d), each fractional Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Unit (with fractional Units equal to or greater than a 0.5 Unit being rounded to the next higher Unit).

Section 5.7 Fully Paid and Non-Assessable Nature of Limited Partner Interests. All Limited Partner Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this Article V shall be fully paid and non-assessable Limited Partner Interests in the Partnership, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 or 17-804 of the Delaware Act.

Section 5.8 Series A Preferred Units.

(a) General. There is hereby created a class of Units designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Units,” with the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties as set forth in this Section 5.8 and elsewhere in this Agreement.

(b) Rights of Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units shall have the following rights, preferences and privileges and the Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be subject to the following duties and obligations:

(i) Distributions.

(A) Subject to Section 5.8(b)(i)(B), commencing with the Quarter that includes the Series A Initial Issuance Date, subject to Section 5.8(b)(i)(D), the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units as of the applicable Record Date for each Quarter shall be entitled to receive, in respect of each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit, cumulative distributions in respect of such Quarter equal to the sum of (1) the Series A Distribution Amount for such Quarter and (2) any Series A Unpaid Distributions (collectively, a “Series A Quarterly Distribution”). With respect to any Quarter (or portion thereof for which a Series A Quarterly Distribution is due) ending on or before the end of the Initial Distribution Period for a Series A Preferred Unit, such Series A Quarterly Distribution shall be paid, as determined by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, in Series A PIK Units or in cash, or in a combination of Series A PIK Units and cash. For any Quarter ending after the end of the Initial Distribution Period for a Series A Preferred Unit, each Series A Quarterly Distribution on such Series A Preferred Unit shall be paid, as determined by the Board of Directors, in its sole

discretion, in cash or in a combination of Series A PIK Units and cash; provided that, no more than one-ninth (1/9th) of any such Series A Quarterly Distribution shall consist of Series A PIK Units for any Quarter following the Quarter during which the Initial Distribution Period ends; and provided, further, that for the Quarter during which the Initial Distribution Period ends, (i) the portion of the Series A Distribution Amount calculated through the end of the Initial Distribution Period shall not be subject to the foregoing one-ninth (1/9th) limitation, and (ii) the portion of the Series A Distribution Amount calculated after the end of the Initial Distribution Period shall be subject to the foregoing one-ninth (1/9th) limitation. If the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, elects to pay all or any portion of a Series A Quarterly Distribution in Series A PIK Units, the number of Series A PIK Units to be issued in connection with such Series A Quarterly Distribution shall equal the quotient of (A) the applicable Series A Distribution Amount (or portion thereof to be paid in Series A PIK Units) divided by (B) the Series A Issue Price; provided that instead of issuing any fractional Series A PIK Unit, the Partnership shall round the number of Series A PIK Units issued to each Series A Preferred Unitholder down to the nearest whole Series A PIK Unit and pay cash in lieu of any resulting fractional unit (with the amount of such cash payment being based on the value of such fractional Series A PIK Unit, which shall be the product of the Series A Issue Price multiplied by the number of Series A Conversion Units into which such fractional Series A PIK Units would be convertible at the applicable Series A Conversion Rate on such Record Date (without regard to whether any Series A Preferred Units are then convertible)). Each Series A Quarterly Distribution shall be paid within 45 days following the end of each Quarter (each such payment date, a “Series A Distribution Payment Date”) and, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, shall have the same Record Date as established by the Partnership for any distribution to be made by the Partnership on other Partnership Interests in respect of such Quarter. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 5.8(b)(i)(D), the Series A Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any distributions made to Common Unitholders pursuant to Section 6.1(b) for any Quarter so long as the Series A Quarterly Distribution has been declared and paid in full (including any Series A Unpaid Distributions comprising part thereof) in accordance with this Section 5.8(b)(i) on the Series A Preferred Units with respect to such Quarter.

(B) If the Partnership fails to pay in full the Series A Distribution Amount of any Series A Quarterly Distribution (in cash or Series A PIK Units) when due for any Quarter during the applicable Initial Distribution Period, then the Series A Preferred Unitholders entitled to such unpaid Series A Quarterly Distribution shall be deemed to have nonetheless received such Series A Quarterly Distribution in Series A PIK Units and, accordingly, shall have all other rights under this Agreement as if such Series A PIK Units had, in fact, been issued on the date such distribution was due. If the Partnership fails to pay in full the Series A Distribution Amount of any Series A Quarterly Distribution (in cash or Series A PIK Units) in accordance with Section 5.8(b)(i)(A) when due for any Quarter following the applicable Initial Distribution Period, then (i) the Series A Preferred Unitholders entitled to such unpaid Series A Quarterly Distribution shall be deemed to have nonetheless received one-ninth (1/9th) of such Series A Quarterly Distribution in Series A PIK Units and, accordingly, shall have all other rights under this Agreement as if such Series A PIK Units had, in fact, been

issued on the date such distribution was due and (ii) from and after the first date of such failure and continuing until such failure is cured by payment in full in cash of all such arrearages (which arrearages shall exclude, for the avoidance of doubt, the Series A PIK Units deemed received under the immediately preceding clause (i)), (1) the amount of such unpaid cash distributions (on a per Series A Preferred Unit basis, “Series A Unpaid Distributions”) unless and until paid will accrue and accumulate from and including the first day of the Quarter immediately following the Quarter in respect of which such payment is due until paid in full and (2) the Partnership shall not be permitted to, and shall not, declare or make, any distributions, redemptions or repurchases in respect of any Series A Junior Securities or Series A Parity Securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Quarter for which the Partnership first failed to pay in full any such cash Series A Distribution Amount when due); provided, however, that pro rata distributions may be declared and paid on the Series A Preferred Units and the Series A Parity Securities in amounts per Series A Preferred Unit and Series A Parity Security that bear to each other the same ratio that accrued and accumulated distributions per Series A Preferred Unit and Series A Parity Security bear to each other.

(C) The aggregate Series A Distribution Amount (excluding any portion paid in Series A PIK Units) shall be paid out of Available Cash and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be paid prior to any distributions to the Common Unitholders under Section 6.1.

(D) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.8(b)(i) to the contrary, with respect to any Series A Preferred Unit that is converted into a Common Unit, (i) with respect to a distribution to be made to Record Holders as of the Record Date preceding such conversion, the Record Holder as of such Record Date of such Series A Preferred Unit shall be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such Series A Preferred Unit on the corresponding Series A Distribution Payment Date, but shall not be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of the Common Units into which such Series A Preferred Unit was converted on the payment date thereof, and (ii) with respect to a distribution to be made to Record Holders as of any Record Date following such conversion, the Record Holder as of such Record Date of the Common Units into which such Series A Preferred Unit was converted shall be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such converted Common Units on the payment date thereof, but shall not be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such Series A Preferred Unit on the corresponding Series A Distribution Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Series A Preferred Unit is converted into Common Units pursuant to the terms hereof following a Record Date but prior to the corresponding Series A Distribution Payment Date, then the Record Holder of such Series A Preferred Unit as of such Record Date shall nonetheless remain entitled to receive on the Series A Distribution Payment Date a distribution in respect of such Series A Preferred Unit pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(i)(A) and, until such distribution is received, Section 5.8(b)(i)(B) shall continue to apply, but shall not be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of the Common Units into which such Series A Preferred Unit was converted on the Series A Distribution Payment Date.

(E) When any Series A PIK Units are payable to a Series A Preferred Unitholder pursuant to this Section 5.8, the Partnership shall issue the Series A PIK Units to such holder in accordance with Section 5.8(b)(i)(A) (the date of issuance of such Series A PIK Units, the “Series A PIK Payment Date”). On the Series A PIK Payment Date, the Partnership shall have the option to (i) issue to such Series A Preferred Unitholder a certificate or certificates for the number of Series A PIK Units to which such Series A Preferred Unitholder shall be entitled, or (ii) cause the Transfer Agent to make a notation in book entry form in the books of the Partnership.

(ii) Issuance of the Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units (other than the Series A PIK Units) shall be issued by the Partnership pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Series A Purchase Agreement (as to the Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers) and pursuant to such terms and conditions the Partnership in its sole discretion determines (with respect to any Series A Purchaser who subsequently purchases any Series A Preferred Units issued in accordance with Section 5.8(b)(iv)).

(iii) Voting Rights.

(A) The Outstanding Series A Preferred Units shall have voting rights that are identical to the voting rights of the Common Units and shall vote with the Common Units as a single class, so that each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit will be entitled to one vote for each Common Unit into which such Series A Preferred Unit would be convertible at the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate (regardless of whether the Series A Preferred Units are then convertible) on each matter with respect to which each Record Holder of a Common Unit is entitled to vote. Each reference in this Agreement to a vote of Record Holders of Common Units shall be deemed to be a reference to the Record Holders of Common Units and Series A Preferred Units, voting together as a single class during any period in which any Series A Preferred Units are Outstanding.

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.8(b)(iii), in no event shall the consent of the Series A Preferred Unitholders, as a separate class, be required in connection with any Series A Change of Control; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the voting rights of any Series A Preferred Unitholder in connection with any vote of Record Holders of Common Units and Series A Preferred Units together as a single class that may be required.

(C) Notwithstanding any rights a Series A Preferred Unitholder may have under this Agreement or applicable law, until the Series A Preferred Units are converted to Series A Conversion Units in accordance with the terms hereof, each Series A Preferred Unitholder hereby fully waives any right to nominate or participate in the nomination of any Person for election as a Director of the Partnership or as a member of any other governing body of the Partnership; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the voting rights of a Preferred Unitholder in the election and removal of LP Elected Directors and in the removal of the General Partner in accordance with Section

5.8(b)(iii)(A). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing waiver shall not apply to any Series A Preferred Units that have been converted to Series A Conversion Units.

(D) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Partnership shall not declare or pay distributions in any given Quarter that exceed an amount equal to the then available Capital Distribution Basket from (i) borrowings, refinancing or refundings of indebtedness and sales of debt securities by the Partnership, (ii) sales of equity interests by the Partnership and (iii) sales or dispositions of any assets of the Partnership (any of the foregoing, “Capital Proceeds”).

(iv) No Series A Senior Securities; Series A Parity Securities. Other than issuances contemplated by the Series A Purchase Agreement, the Partnership shall not, without the consent of the holders of the Series A Required Voting Percentage, issue any (A) Series A Senior Securities (or amend the provisions of any class of Partnership Interests to make such class of Partnership Interests a class of Series A Senior Securities) or (B) Series A Parity Securities (or amend the provisions of any class of Partnership Interests to make such class of Partnership Interests a class of Series A Parity Securities) or Series A Preferred Units; provided that, without the consent or vote of any Series A Preferred Unitholder (but without prejudice to their rights under Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A)), the Partnership may issue after the Series A Initial Issuance Date (1) Series A Preferred Units pursuant to the Series A Purchase Agreement, (2) up to the greater of (a) an aggregate issue price of $1 billion of Series A Parity Securities, and (b) a number of Series A Parity Securities such that, as of the date of the issuance of the Series A Parity Securities, the aggregate number of Series A Parity Securities, together with the Series A Preferred Units contemplated by the Series A Purchase Agreement, in each case on an as-converted basis (or, if the Series A Parity Securities are not convertible, assuming that such Series A Parity Securities are convertible into a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate purchase price for such Series A Parity Securities, divided by (ii) the Average VWAP for the thirty (30) Trading Day period ending immediately prior to such issuance (such Common Units, the “Series A Parity Equivalent Units”)), equals no more than fifteen percent (15%) of all Outstanding Common Units and Special Voting Units (including as Outstanding for such purposes, (i) any Common Units issuable in respect of the Series A Preferred Units at the then-applicable Series A Conversion Rate (regardless of whether the Series A Preferred Units are then convertible), (ii) any Common Units issuable in respect of Series A Parity Securities (including any warrants issued in connection with Series A Parity Securities) at the initial or then-applicable conversion rate, as applicable, (iii) any Common Units issuable in respect of any outstanding warrants or options issued by the Partnership, (iv) any Series A Parity Equivalent Units and (v) any Common Units that would otherwise be excluded by operation of the definition of the term “Outstanding”), and (3) if the Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers and their then-Affiliates hold a number of Series A Preferred Units purchased under the Series A Purchase Agreement (excluding for this purpose, for the avoidance of doubt, any Series A PIK Units) having an aggregate Series A Issue Price of less than or equal to thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the aggregate Series A Issue Price of all Series A Preferred Units purchased pursuant to the Series A Purchase Agreement (excluding for this purpose, for the avoidance of doubt, any Series A PIK Units), then such number of Series A Parity Securities as determined by

the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, at any time on and after the first time that the Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers’ and their Affiliates’ holdings are below such threshold; provided that following a Series A Purchaser Change of Control with respect to a Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser, any Series A Preferred Units held by such Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be considered held by a Series A Purchaser Agreement Purchaser and its then-Affiliates for purposes of the determination under the foregoing clause (3). Subject to Section 5.8(b)(vi)(E), the Partnership may, without any consent or vote of the holders of Outstanding Series A Preferred Units (but without prejudice to their rights under Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A)), issue the Series A PIK Units contemplated by this Agreement or create (by reclassification or otherwise) and issue Series A Junior Securities in an unlimited amount.

(v) Legends. Each certificate or book entry evidencing a Series A Preferred Unit shall bear a conspicuous legend in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C of this Agreement.

(vi) Conversion.

(A) At the Option of the Series A Preferred Unitholders. Beginning with the earlier of (1) the second (2^nd) anniversary of (x) the date of the Series A Purchase Agreement, with respect to the Series A Preferred Units purchased by the Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers under the Series A Purchase Agreement, or (y) the date of issuance of a Series A Preferred Unit, with respect to any Series A Purchaser who subsequently purchases any Series A Preferred Units issued in accordance with Section 5.8(b)(iv), and (2) immediately prior to the liquidation of the Partnership under Section 12.4, the Series A Preferred Units owned by such Series A Preferred Unitholder on such date shall be convertible, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time thereafter upon the request of such Series A Preferred Unitholder, but not more than once per Quarter, in accordance with this Section 5.8(b)(vi). If Series A Preferred Units purchased by the Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers become convertible under clause (x) of the preceding sentence, each such Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled to (and limited to) a single conversion right per Quarter (in the aggregate and inclusive of any conversion by any such Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser’s Affiliates, with each Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser and its Affiliates being entitled to a single separate conversion right per Quarter), which may be exercised only by the delivery by the BlackRock Purchaser (on behalf of itself and any other Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers, and any of its or their Affiliates) of a proper Series A Conversion Notice. If Series A Preferred Units owned by a non-Affiliate transferee of a Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser (or an Affiliate thereof) become convertible under clause (x) of the first sentence of this paragraph, or if Series A Preferred Units owned by a purchaser of Series A Preferred Units issued under Section 5.8(b)(iv) become convertible under clause (y) of the first sentence of this paragraph, each such other Series A Preferred Unitholder and its Affiliates shall be entitled to (and limited to) a single conversion right per Quarter (in the aggregate and inclusive of any conversion by such Series A Preferred Unitholder’s Affiliates). If Series A Preferred Units become convertible under this Section 5.8(b)(vi)(A), such Series A Preferred Units shall be convertible into a number of Common Units determined by multiplying the

number of Series A Preferred Units to be converted by (y) in the case of clause (1) of the first sentence of this paragraph, the Series A Conversion Rate at such time and (z) in the case of clause (2) of the first sentence of this paragraph, the Series A COC Conversion Rate; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be obligated to honor any such conversion request if such conversion request does not involve an underlying value of Common Units of at least $50 million (taking into account and including any concurrent conversion requests or other Quarterly conversion requests that are required to be aggregated as provided above) based on the Closing Price of Common Units on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which a Series A Conversion Notice is received under Section 5.8(b)(vi)(C)(1) (a “Series A Conversion Notice Date”) (or a lesser amount to the extent such exercise covers all of such Series A Preferred Unitholder’s and its Affiliates’ Series A Preferred Units or has been approved by the Partnership). Immediately upon the issuance of Common Units as a result of any conversion of Series A Preferred Units, subject to Section 5.8(b)(i)(D), all rights of the Series A Converting Unitholder with respect to such Series A Preferred Units shall cease, including any further accrual of distributions, and such Series A Converting Unitholder thereafter shall be treated for all purposes as the owner of Common Units. Fractional Common Units shall not be issued to any Person pursuant to this Section 5.8(b)(vi)(A) (each fractional Common Unit shall be rounded down with the remainder being paid an amount in cash based on the Closing Price of Common Units on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Series A Conversion Notice Date).

(B) At the Option of the Partnership. Following the first anniversary of the date of issuance of a Series A Preferred Unit, the Partnership shall have the option at any time, but not more than once per Quarter, to convert all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Units that were issued on such date and that are then Outstanding into a number of Common Units determined by multiplying the number of Series A Preferred Units to be converted by the Series A Conversion Rate at such time; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be permitted to convert a number of Series A Preferred Units representing in aggregate more than (x) one-third (1/3) of the total Series A Preferred Units issued pursuant to the Series A Purchase Agreement prior to the second (2^nd) anniversary of the final date Series A Preferred Units are purchased under the Series A Purchase Agreement (excluding, for this purpose, for the avoidance of doubt, any Series A PIK Units) or (y) two-thirds (2/3) of the total Series A Preferred Units issued pursuant to the Series A Purchase Agreement prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the final date Series A Preferred Units are purchased under the Series A Purchase Agreement (excluding, for this purpose, for the avoidance of doubt, any Series A PIK Units). Fractional Common Units shall not be issued to any Person pursuant to this Section 5.8(b)(vi)(B) (each fractional Common Unit shall be rounded down with the remainder being paid an amount in cash based on the Closing Price of Common Units on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which a Series A Forced Conversion Notice under Section 5.8(b)(vi)(C)(2) is sent (a “Series A Forced Conversion Notice Date”)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order for the Partnership to exercise such option:

(1) The Closing Price of the Common Units must be greater than, (x) with respect to a Series A Forced Conversion Notice Date

occurring prior to the second (2^nd) anniversary of the final date Series A Preferred Units are purchased under the Series A Purchase Agreement (excluding, for this purpose, for the avoidance of doubt, any Series A PIK Units), one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Series A Issue Price, (y) with respect to a Series A Forced Conversion Notice Date occurring on or after the second (2^nd) anniversary of the final date Series A Preferred Units are purchased under the Series A Purchase Agreement (excluding, for this purpose, for the avoidance of doubt, any Series A PIK Units) but prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary thereof, one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the Series A Issue Price, or (z) with respect to a Series A Forced Conversion Notice Date occurring on or after the third (3^rd) anniversary of the final date Series A Preferred Units are purchased under the Series A Purchase Agreement (excluding, for this purpose, for the avoidance of doubt, any Series A PIK Units), one hundred forty percent (140%), of the Series A Issue Price, for at least twenty (20) Trading Days out of the thirty (30) Trading Day period immediately preceding the Series A Forced Conversion Notice Date;

(2) The average daily trading volume of the Common Units on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed or admitted to trading must be equal to or exceed 165,000 (as such amount may be adjusted to reflect any Unit split, combination or similar event) for at least twenty (20) Trading Days out of the thirty (30) Trading Day period immediately preceding the Series A Forced Conversion Notice Date; and

(3) The Common Units are listed or admitted to trading on a National Securities Exchange;

provided that each such conversion by the Partnership shall be for an aggregate amount of Series A Preferred Units involving an underlying value of Common Units of at least $50 million based on the Closing Price of Common Units on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Series A Forced Conversion Notice Date (or a lesser amount if such amount includes all then Outstanding Series A Preferred Units) and shall be allocated among the Series A Preferred Unitholders on a Pro Rata basis or on such other basis as may be agreed upon by all Series A Preferred Unitholders.

(1) To convert Series A Preferred Units into Common Units pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(vi)(A), a Series A Converting Unitholder shall give written notice (a “Series A Conversion Notice”) to the Partnership stating that such Series A Preferred Unitholder elects to so convert Series A Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(vi)(A), the number of Series A Preferred Units to be converted. The Series A Conversion Units shall be issued in the name of the Record Holder of such Series A Preferred Units. A Series A Converting Unitholder who is a Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser (or an Affiliate thereof) may only provide a Series A Conversion Notice through the BlackRock Purchaser as and to the extent provided in Section 5.8(b)(vi)(A), and the

BlackRock Purchaser may not transfer any of the rights or obligations to give or receive notices under this Section 5.8(b)(vi) (on behalf of itself and/or any Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser or any of its or their Affiliates) without the express written consent of the Partnership. Following such time as the BlackRock Purchaser ceases to own Series A Preferred Units, the BlackRock Purchaser may continue to give or receive notices pursuant to the foregoing on behalf of any other Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser or any of its Affiliates who are required to provide notice through the BlackRock Purchaser under this Section 5.8(b)(vi). A Series A Conversion Notice shall be considered given under this Section 5.8(b)(vi) when such notice is actually received by the Partnership at both of the following physical addresses (or such other address or addresses as the Partnership may designate in writing to the BlackRock Purchaser from time to time):

NextEra Energy Partners, LP

(2) To convert Series A Preferred Units into Common Units pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(vi)(B), the Partnership shall give written notice (a “Series A Forced Conversion Notice”) to each Record Holder of Series A Preferred Units stating that the Partnership elects to force conversion of Series A Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(vi)(B) and the number of Series A Preferred Units to be so converted; provided that the Partnership may satisfy the foregoing with respect to any or all Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers and any or all of their Affiliates by sending such Series A Forced Conversion Notice solely to the BlackRock Purchaser (on behalf of itself and as representative of the other Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers and its and their Affiliates) to the BlackRock Purchaser Notice Address. The Series A Conversion Units shall be issued in the name of the Record Holder of such Series A Preferred Units.

(D) Timing. If a Series A Conversion Notice is delivered by a Series A Preferred Unitholder to the Partnership or a Series A Forced Conversion Notice

is delivered by the Partnership to a Series A Preferred Unitholder, each in accordance with Section 5.8(b)(vi)(C), the Partnership shall issue the applicable Series A Conversion Units no later than three (3) Business Days after the Series A Conversion Notice Date or the Series A Forced Conversion Notice Date, as the case may be, occurs (any date of issuance of such Common Units, and any date of issuance of Common Units upon conversion of Series A Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 5.8(b)(vi) or Section 5.8(b)(vii), a “Series A Conversion Date”). On the Series A Conversion Date, the Partnership shall instruct, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Series A Conversion Units to such Series A Preferred Unitholder. The Series A Preferred Unitholders and the Partnership agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Transfer Agent to accomplish this objective. Subject to Section 5.8(b)(i)(D), upon issuance of Series A Conversion Units to the Series A Converting Unitholder, all rights under the converted Series A Preferred Units shall cease, and such Series A Converting Unitholder shall be treated for all purposes as the Record Holder of such Series A Conversion Units.

(E) Distributions, Combinations, Subdivisions and Reclassifications by the Partnership. If, after the Series A Initial Issuance Date, the Partnership (i) makes a distribution on its Common Units payable in Common Units or other Partnership Interests, (ii) subdivides or splits its outstanding Common Units into a greater number of Common Units, (iii) combines or reclassifies its Common Units into a lesser number of Common Units, (iv) issues by reclassification of its Common Units any Partnership Interests (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person), (v) effects a Pro Rata repurchase of Common Units, in each case other than in connection with a Series A Change of Control (which shall be governed by Section 5.8(b)(vii)), (vi) issues to holders of Common Units, in their capacity as holders of Common Units, rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Units at less than the market value thereof, (vii) distributes to holders of Common Units evidences of indebtedness, Partnership Interests (other than Common Units) or other assets (including securities, but excluding any distribution referred to in clause (i), any rights or warrants referred to in clause (ii), any consideration payable in connection with a tender or exchange offer made by the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries and any distribution of Units or any class or series, or similar Partnership Interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit in the case of certain spin-off transactions described below), or (viii) consummates a spin-off, where the Partnership makes a distribution to all holders of Common Units consisting of Units of any class or series, or similar equity interests of, or relating to, a subsidiary or other business unit, then the Series A Conversion Rate and, solely for purposes Section 5.8(b)(vi)(B)(1), the Series A Issue Price, in each case, in effect at the time of the Record Date for such distribution or the effective date of any such other transaction shall be proportionately adjusted: (1) in respect of clauses (i) through (iv) above, so that the conversion of the Series A Preferred Units after such time shall entitle each Series A Preferred Unitholder to receive the aggregate number of Common Units (or any Partnership Interests into which such Common Units would have been combined, consolidated, merged or reclassified, as applicable) that such Series A Preferred Unitholder would have been entitled to receive if the Series A Preferred Units had been converted into Common Units immediately prior to such Record Date or

effective date, as the case may be, (2) in respect of clauses (v) through (viii) above, in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors to appropriately ensure that the Series A Preferred Units are convertible into an economically equivalent number of Common Units after taking into account the event described in clauses (v) through (viii) above, and (3) in addition to the foregoing, in the case of a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person, the Partnership shall provide effective provisions to ensure that the provisions in this Section 5.8 relating to the Series A Preferred Units shall not be abridged or amended and that the Series A Preferred Units shall thereafter retain the same powers, economic rights, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon, that the Series A Preferred Units had immediately prior to such transaction or event, and, solely for purposes of Section 5.8(b)(vi)(B)(1), the Series A Issue Price, and any other terms of the Series A Preferred Units that the Board of Directors, in its reasonable discretion, determines require adjustment to achieve the economic equivalence described below, shall be proportionately adjusted to take into account any such subdivision, split, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.8(b)(vi)(E) shall become effective immediately after the Record Date in the case of a distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person) or split. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described above shall occur.

(F) No Adjustments for Certain Items. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 5.8(b)(vi), no adjustment shall be made to the Series A Conversion Rate or the Series A Issue Price pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(vi)(E) as a result of any of the following:

(1) Any issuance of Partnership Interests in exchange for cash;

(2) Any grant of Common Units or options, warrants or rights to purchase or receive Common Units or the issuance of Common Units upon the exercise or vesting of any such options, warrants or rights in respect of services provided to or for the benefit of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, under compensation plans and agreements approved by the Board of Directors (including any long-term incentive plan);

(3) Any issuance of Common Units as all or part of the consideration to effect (i) the closing of any acquisition by the Partnership of assets or equity interests of a third party in an arm’s-length transaction, (ii) closing of any acquisition by the Partnership of assets or equity interests of NEE or any of its Affiliates or (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Partnership with another entity in which the Partnership survives and the Common Units remain Outstanding to the extent any such transaction set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above is validly approved by the Board of Directors; or

(4) The issuance of Common Units upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Units or Series A Parity Securities.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, whenever the issuance of a Partnership Interest or other event would require an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Rate under one or more provisions of this Agreement, only one adjustment shall be made to the Series A Conversion Rate in respect of such issuance or event.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.8(b)(vi)(E), unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, no adjustment to the Series A Conversion Rate or the Series A Issue Price shall be made with respect to any distribution or other transaction described in Section 5.8(b)(vi)(E) if the Series A Preferred Unitholders are entitled to participate in such distribution or transaction as if they held a number of Common Units issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Units immediately prior to such event at the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate, without having to convert their Series A Preferred Units.

(vii) Series A Change of Control.

(A) Subject to Section 5.8(b)(vi)(B), in the event of a Series A Cash COC Event, the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units shall be automatically converted, without requirement of any action of the Series A Preferred Unitholders, into Common Units immediately prior to the closing of the applicable Series A Change of Control at the Series A COC Conversion Rate.

(B) Subject to Section 5.8(b)(vi)(B), at least 10 Business Days prior to consummating a Series A Change of Control (other than a Series A Cash COC Event), the Partnership shall provide written notice thereof to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, which notice requirement the Partnership may satisfy with respect to any or all Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers (and any Affiliates thereof) by sending such notice solely to the BlackRock Purchaser (on behalf of itself and as representative of the other Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers and any of its and their Affiliates) to the BlackRock Purchaser Notice Address. Subject to Section 5.8(b)(vi)(B), if a Series A Change of Control (other than a Series A Cash COC Event) occurs, then each Series A Preferred Unitholder, with respect to all but not less than all of its Series A Preferred Units, by notice given to the Partnership within five (5) Business Days after the date the Partnership provides written notice of the execution of definitive agreements that provide for such Series A Change of Control, shall be entitled to elect one of the following (with the understanding that any Series A Preferred Unitholder who fails to timely provide notice of its election to the Partnership shall be deemed to have elected the option set forth in sub-clause (1) below). Notice of an election under this Section 5.8(b)(vii)(B) shall be considered given to the Partnership when such notice is actually received by the Partnership at both of the following physical addresses (or such other address or addresses as the Partnership may designate in writing to the BlackRock Purchaser from time to time):

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the BlackRock Purchaser shall notify the Partnership of the election made by the Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers (on behalf of itself and as representative of the other Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers and its and their Affiliates), all Series A Purchase Agreement Purchasers (and any of their Affiliates) may provide notice of an election under this Section only through such a notice by the BlackRock Purchaser on their behalf and shall be deemed to have made such election as indicated to the Partnership by the BlackRock Purchaser, and the BlackRock Purchaser may not transfer any of the rights or obligations to give or receive notices hereunder (on behalf of itself and/or any Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser or any of its or their Affiliates) without the express written consent of the Partnership. Following such time as the BlackRock Purchaser ceases to own Series A Preferred Units, the BlackRock Purchaser may continue to give or receive notices pursuant to the foregoing on behalf of any other Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser or any of its Affiliates who are required to provide notice through the BlackRock Purchaser under this Section 5.8(b)(vii)(B).

(1) Convert all, but not less than all, of such Series A Preferred Unitholder’s Outstanding Series A Preferred Units into Common Units, at the then-applicable Series A Conversion Rate;

(2) If the Partnership will not be the surviving entity of such Series A Change of Control or the Partnership will be the surviving entity but its Common Units will cease to be listed or admitted to trading on a National Securities Exchange, require the Partnership to use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or to cause to be delivered to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, in exchange for their Series A Preferred Units upon such Series A Change of Control, a security in the surviving entity or the parent of the surviving entity that has substantially similar rights, preferences and privileges as the Series A Preferred Units, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right to distributions equal in amount and timing to those provided in Section 5.8(b)(i) and a conversion rate proportionately adjusted such that the conversion of such security

in the surviving entity or parent of the surviving entity immediately following the Series A Change of Control would entitle the Record Holder to the number of common securities of such entity (together with a number of common securities of equivalent value to any other assets received by holders of Common Units in such Series A Change of Control) which, if a Series A Preferred Unit had been converted into Common Units immediately prior to such Series A Change of Control, such Record Holder would have been entitled to receive immediately following such Series A Change of Control (such security in the surviving entity, a “Series A Substantially Equivalent Unit”); provided, however, that, if the Partnership is unable to deliver or cause to be delivered Series A Substantially Equivalent Units to any Series A Preferred Unitholder in connection with such Series A Change of Control, each Series A Preferred Unitholder shall be entitled to (I) require conversion or redemption of such Series A Preferred Units in the manner contemplated by subclause (1) or (4) of this Section 5.8(b)(vii)(B) (at such holder’s election) or (II) convert the Series A Preferred Units held by such Series A Preferred Unitholder immediately prior to such Series A Change of Control into a number of Common Units at a conversion ratio equal to the quotient of: (a) the product of (i) one hundred sixty percent (160%) multiplied by (ii) the Series A Issue Price less the Series A Preferred Unitholder’s Pro Rata portion of the sum of (A) all cash distributions paid on all Series A Preferred Units on or prior to the date of the Series A Change of Control and (B) an amount in cash equal to the aggregate of the Series A Quarterly Distributions paid in Series A PIK Units (based on the value of such Series A PIK Units on the applicable Series A PIK Payment Date) on or before the date of the Series A Change of Control, divided by (b) an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Average VWAP for the thirty (30) Trading Day period prior to the closing of the Series A Change of Control; provided, however, that such ratio shall in no event exceed a value per Series A Preferred Unit equal to (aa) one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Series A Issue Price in the case of a Series A Change of Control occurring prior to the first anniversary of the Series A Initial Issuance Date, (bb) one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the Series A Issue Price in the case of a Series A Change of Control occurring on or after the first anniversary of the Series A Initial Issuance Date, but prior to the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Series A Initial Issuance Date, and (cc) one hundred forty percent (140%) of the Series A Issue Price in the case of a Series A Change of Control occurring on or after the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Series A Initial Issuance Date, but prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Series A Initial Issuance Date.

(3) If the Partnership is the surviving entity of such Series A Change of Control, continue to hold Series A Preferred Units; or

(4) Require the Partnership to redeem the Series A Preferred Units at a price per Series A Preferred Unit equal to the sum of (A) the product of one hundred one percent (101%) and the sum of (x) the Series A Issue Price plus (y) Series A Unpaid Distributions on the applicable Series A Preferred Unit, plus (B) Series A Partial Period Distributions on the applicable Series A Preferred Unit. Any redemption pursuant to this sub-clause (4) shall, as

determined by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, be paid in cash, Common Units listed or admitted to trading on a National Securities Exchange or any combination thereof. If all or any portion of such redemption is to be paid in Common Units, the Common Units to be issued shall be valued at ninety-five percent (95%) of the Average VWAP for the thirty (30) Trading Day period ending on the fifth (5^th) Trading Day immediately prior to the Series A Change of Control. No later than three (3) Trading Days prior to the consummation of the related Series A Change of Control, the Partnership shall deliver a written notice to the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units stating the date on which the Series A Preferred Units will be redeemed and the Partnership’s computation of the amount of cash or Common Units to be received by the Record Holder upon redemption of such Series A Preferred Units. If the Partnership shall be the surviving entity of the related Series A Change of Control, then no later than ten (10) Business Days following the consummation of such Series A Change of Control, the Partnership shall remit the applicable cash or Common Unit listed or admitted to trading on a National Securities Exchange consideration to the Record Holders of then Outstanding Series A Preferred Units. If the Partnership shall not be the surviving entity of the related Series A Change of Control, then the Partnership shall remit the applicable cash immediately prior to the consummation of the Series A Change of Control. The Record Holders shall deliver to the Partnership any Certificates representing the Series A Preferred Units as soon as practicable following the redemption. Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units shall retain all of the rights and privileges thereof unless and until the consideration due to them as a result of such redemption shall be paid in full in cash or Common Units, as applicable. After any such redemption, any such redeemed Series A Preferred Unit shall no longer constitute an issued and Outstanding Limited Partner Interest.

(viii) Series A Preferred Unit Transfer Restrictions.

(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.8(b)(viii) (other than the restriction on transfers to a Person that is not a U.S. resident individual or an entity that is not treated as a U.S. corporation or partnership set forth in Section 5.8(b)(viii)(B)), subject to Section 4.7, each Series A Preferred Unitholder shall be permitted to transfer any Series A Preferred Units owned by such Series A Preferred Unitholder to any of its Affiliates or to any other Series A Preferred Unitholder .

(B) Without the prior written consent of the Partnership, except as specifically provided in the Series A Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, each Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser (and its Affiliates to which Series A Preferred Units are transferred pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(viii)(A)) shall not, (a) during the period commencing on the date of the Series A Purchase Agreement and ending on the first anniversary of the latest date on which any Series A Preferred Units are purchased thereunder (for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the foregoing, excluding any Series A PIK Units), offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of its Series A

Preferred Units or any rights with respect to such Units, (b) during the period commencing on the date of the Series A Purchase Agreement and ending on the second (2^nd) anniversary of the latest date on which any Series A Preferred Units are purchased thereunder (for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the foregoing, excluding any Series A PIK Units), directly or indirectly engage in any short sales or other derivative or hedging transactions with respect to the Series A Preferred Units or Common Units that are designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, result in the transfer to another, in whole or in part, of any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Series A Preferred Units or any rights with respect to such Units, (c) transfer any Series A Preferred Units to any non-U.S. resident individual, non-U.S. corporation or partnership, or any other non-U.S. entity, including any foreign governmental entity, including by means of any swap or other transaction or arrangement that transfers or that is designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, result in the transfer to another, in whole or in part, of any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Series A Preferred Units or any rights with respect to such Units, regardless of whether any transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of Series A Preferred Units, Common Units or other securities, in cash or otherwise, (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply if, prior to any such transfer or arrangement, such individual, corporation, partnership or other entity establishes to the satisfaction of the Partnership, its entitlement to a complete exemption from tax withholding, including under Code Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 and 1471 through 1474, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder), or (d) effect any transfer of Series A Preferred Units or Series A Conversion Units or any rights with respect to such Units in a manner that violates the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such Series A Preferred Unitholder may make a bona fide pledge of all or any portion of its Series A Preferred Units in connection with a Permitted Loan, and any foreclosure by any pledgee under such Permitted Loan on any such pledged Series A Preferred Units or related Series A Conversion Units (or any sale thereof) shall not be considered a violation or breach of this Section 5.8(b)(viii)(B), and the transfer of the Series A Preferred Units by a pledgee who has foreclosed on such a Permitted Loan shall not be considered a violation or breach of this Section 5.8(b)(viii)(B). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee receiving any Series A Preferred Units pursuant to any part of this Section 5.8(b)(viii) shall agree to the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.8(b)(viii)(B) and Section 5.8(b)(iii)(C) and, to the extent still applicable take all actions necessary to become a party to any confidentiality agreement between the transferor of such Series A Preferred Units and the Partnership. For the avoidance of doubt, in no way does this Section 5.8(b)(viii)(B) prohibit changes in the composition of any Series A Preferred Unitholder or its partners or members so long as such changes in composition only relate to changes in direct or indirect ownership of such Series A Preferred Unitholder among such Series A Preferred Unitholder or its partners or members, so long as such changes in composition only relate to changes in direct or indirect ownership of the Series A Preferred Unitholder among such Series A Unitholder, its Affiliates and the limited partners of the private equity fund vehicles that indirectly own such Series A Preferred Unitholder.

(C) Subject to Section 4.7, following the first anniversary of the latest date on which any Series A Preferred Units are purchased under the Series A Purchase Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the foregoing,

excluding any Series A PIK Units), the Series A Preferred Unitholders may freely transfer Series A Preferred Units involving an underlying value of Common Units of at least $50 million (taking into account any concurrent transfers by Affiliates of such Series A Preferred Unitholder) based on the Closing Price of Common Units on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such transfer (or such lesser amount if it (i) constitutes the remaining holdings of Series A Preferred Units of such Series A Preferred Unitholder or (ii) has been approved by the Board of Directors), subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 5.8(b)(viii)(C) shall not eliminate, modify or reduce the obligations set forth in subclauses (b), (c) or (d) of Section 5.8(b)(viii)(B).

(ix) Notices. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall distribute to the Record Holders of Series A Preferred Units copies of all notices, materials, annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements, information statements and any other documents distributed generally to the Record Holders of Common Units of the Partnership, at such times and by such method as such documents are distributed to such Record Holders of such Common Units.

(x) OpCo Preferred Unit Terms. Without the consent of the holders of the Series A Required Voting Percentage, the Partnership shall not (i) amend the terms of the OpCo Preferred Units in a manner that is adverse to and inconsistent with the terms of the Series A Preferred Units, (ii) amend Section 5.11(b)(iii)(B) of the OpCo Partnership Agreement, (iii) transfer any OpCo Preferred Units or (iv) provide any consent of the OpCo Preferred Units required under the first paragraph of Section 5.11(b)(iv) of the OpCo Partnership Agreement.

Section 5.9 Non-Voting Common Units.

(a) General. There is hereby created a class of Units designated as “Non-Voting Common Units,” with the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties of Non-Voting Common Units as set forth in this Section 5.9 and elsewhere in this Agreement.

(b) Rights of Non-Voting Common Units. The Non-Voting Common Units shall have the following rights, preferences and privileges and the holders of Non-Voting Common Units shall be subject to the following duties and obligations:

(i) Distributions.

(A) Commencing with the Quarter that includes the date on which Non-Voting Common Units are first issued in accordance with the NEP Renewables LLC Agreement, the Record Holders of the Non-Voting Common Units as of the applicable Record Date for each Quarter shall be entitled to receive, in respect of each outstanding Non-Voting Common Unit, their Pro Rata portion of the distributions made with respect to such Quarter to the holders of Common Units (including Non-Voting Common Units) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.1.

(B) If a Non-Voting Common Unit is converted into a Common Unit pursuant to the terms hereof following a Record Date for a distribution but prior to the payment date of such distribution pursuant to Section 6.1, then the Record Holder of such Non-Voting Common Unit as of such Record Date shall nonetheless remain entitled to receive, on the payment date thereof, such distribution in respect of such Non-Voting Common Unit pursuant to Section 5.9(b)(i)(A) but shall not be entitled to receive any distribution in respect of the Common Units into which such Non-Voting Common Unit was converted on the payment date of such distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to a distribution to be made to Record Holders as of any Record Date following such conversion, the Record Holder as of such Record Date of the Common Unit into which such Non-Voting Common Unit was converted shall be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such converted Common Unit on the payment date thereof pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.1.

(ii) Issuance of the Non-Voting Common Units. The Non-Voting Common Units shall be issued by the Partnership from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of the NEP Renewables LLC Agreement.

(iii) Voting Rights. Except as provided pursuant to Section 13.3 and Section 14.3, the Outstanding Non-Voting Common Units shall have no voting rights on any matter whatsoever under this Agreement, the Delaware Act or otherwise. To the extent Record Holders of Non-Voting Common Units vote pursuant to Section 13.3 or Section 14.3, each Outstanding Non-Voting Common Unit will be entitled to one vote on any matter with respect to which the Record Holders of Non-Voting Common Units are entitled to vote thereunder.

(iv) Legends. Each certificate or book entry evidencing a Non-Voting Common Unit shall bear a conspicuous legend in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit D of this Agreement.

(v) Conversion.

(A) Automatic Conversion. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.9(b)(v), each Non-Voting Common Unit held by a Record Holder that is a Class B LLC Member shall automatically convert into one (1) Common Unit (or such number as adjusted pursuant to Section 5.9(b)(v)(E)) immediately upon its transfer by such Class B LLC Member to any Person that is not an Affiliate (as that term is defined in the NEP Renewables LLC Agreement) of such Class B LLC Member. At least one (1) Business Day before the closing of any transfer that results in an automatic conversion pursuant to this Section 5.9(b)(v)(A), the Converting Holder shall deliver written notice of such transfer (an “Automatic Conversion Notice”) to the Partnership at the addresses listed in Section 5.9(b)(v)(C). For purposes of this Section 5.9(b)(v), a pledge (including any pledge where the relevant lender or its custodian becomes the Record Holder, so long as the applicable Class B Member retains beneficial ownership), grant of security interest, or other encumbrance of any Non-Voting Common Units by a Record Holder that is a Class B LLC Member shall not be considered a “transfer” hereunder.

(B) Optional Conversion. Upon delivery of an Optional Conversion Notice to the Partnership in accordance with Section 5.9(b)(v)(C), each Class B LLC Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the Non-Voting Common Units held by it into one (1) Common Unit for each Non-Voting Common Unit being converted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Class B LLC Member shall not have the right to convert any Non-Voting Common Units to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Optional Conversion Notice, the Class B LLC Member (together with such Class B LLC Member’s Affiliates and any other Persons acting as a group with the Class B LLC Member or any of the Class B LLC Member’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of 19.8% of the number of Common Units outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Maximum Percentage”). In the event that the issuance of Common Units to the Class B LLC Member upon exercise of this option to convert results in the Class B LLC Member’s and the other Attribution Parties’ being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage, (1) the number of Common Units so issued by which the Class B LLC Member’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Units”) shall be deemed null and void ab initio, (2) the Class B LLC Member shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares, and (3) the conversion of such Excess Units from Non-Voting Common Units to Common Units shall be deemed null and void ab initio and the Class B LLC Member shall be deemed to have retained the number of Non-Voting Common Units equal to the amount of such Excess Units as if, in all respects, such conversion had not occurred. For purposes of this Section 5.9(b)(v)(B), beneficial ownership and the beneficial ownership percentage shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including taking into account any other securities held by the Class B LLC Member or any of the Attribution Parties that are convertible into Common Units, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, each Class B LLC Member shall be entitled to (and limited to) a single conversion right under this Section 5.9(b)(v)(B) in each Quarter. Immediately upon the issuance of Common Units as a result of any conversion of Non-Voting Common Units, all rights of the Converting Holder with respect to such Non-Voting Common Units so converted shall cease, subject to Section 5.9(b)(i)(B), and such Converting Holder thereafter shall be treated for all purposes as the owner of the Common Units issuable upon such conversion.

(C) Conversion Notice. To convert Non-Voting Common Units into Common Units pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(v)(B), a Class B LLC Member holding Non-Voting Common Units shall give written notice (a “Optional Conversion Notice”) to the Partnership stating that such Converting Holder elects to convert all or a portion of its Non-Voting Common Units into Common Units pursuant to, and subject to the terms of, Section 5.9(b)(v)(B). The Common Units issuable upon conversion shall be issued in the name of the Converting Holder or to a transferee specified in such Optional Conversion Notice. An Optional Conversion Notice shall be considered given under this Section 5.9(b)(v) when such notice is actually received by the Partnership at both of the following physical addresses (or such other address or addresses as the Partnership may designate in writing to the holders of Non-Voting Common Units from time to time):

NextEra Energy Partners, LP

000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx,

Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000

Attention: Treasurer

and

NextEra Energy Partners, LP

000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx,

Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000

With a copy to (which shall not constitute notice):

NextEra Energy Partners, LP

000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx,

Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000

Attention: Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx

Email: Xxxxxxx.Xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx

(D) Timing. If an Automatic Conversion Notice or an Optional Conversion Notice is delivered by a Converting Holder or Class B LLC Member, as applicable, to the Partnership, each in accordance with this Section 5.9(b)(v), the Partnership shall issue the applicable Common Units no later than two (2) Business Days after the date on which such Automatic Conversion Notice or an Optional Conversion Notice is actually received by the Partnership (the “Conversion Date”). On the Conversion Date, the Partnership shall instruct, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Common Units issued upon such conversion to the applicable Converting Holder or its specified transferee. The Converting Holder and the Partnership agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Transfer Agent to accomplish this objective. Subject to Section 5.9(b)(i)(B), upon issuance of Common Units to a Converting Holder (or its specified transferee), all rights under the converted Non-Voting Common Units shall cease, and such holder shall be treated for all purposes as the Record Holder of such Common Units.

(E) Distributions, Combinations, Subdivisions and Reclassifications by the Partnership. If, at any time from and after the beginning of the fifteen (15) day period used to determine the number of Non-Voting Common Units to be issued in connection with the exercise of the Call Option, NEP Change of Control Option, or Class B COC Option (as each such term is defined in the NEP Renewables LLC Agreement) in accordance with the NEP Renewables LLC Agreement, the Partnership (i) makes a distribution on its Common Units payable in Common Units or other Partnership Interests, (ii) subdivides or splits its outstanding Common Units into a greater number of Common Units, (iii) combines or reclassifies its Common Units into a lesser number of Common Units, (iv) issues Pro Rata to all holders of Common Units, by reclassification of its Common Units, any Partnership Interests (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person), (v) effects a Pro Rata repurchase of Common Units, (vi) issues Pro Rata to all holders of Common Units, in their capacity as

holders of Common Units, rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Units, (vii) distributes Pro Rata to all holders of Common Units evidences of indebtedness, Partnership Interests (other than Common Units), or other assets (including securities, but excluding any distribution referred to in clause (i), any rights or warrants referred to in clause (ii), any consideration payable in connection with a tender or exchange offer made by the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries, and any distribution of Units or any class or series, or similar Partnership Interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit in the case of certain spin-off transactions described below), or (viii) consummates a spin-off, pursuant to which the Partnership makes a distribution Pro Rata to all holders of Common Units consisting of Units of any class or series, or similar equity interests of, or relating to, a subsidiary or other business unit, then, (1) in respect of clauses (i) through (iv) above, the Non-Voting Common Units then Outstanding at the time of the Record Date for such distribution or the effective date of any such other transaction shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of such Non-Voting Common Units shall be entitled to receive an aggregate number of Non-Voting Common Units (or any Partnership Interests other than Common Units into which such Common Units would have been combined, consolidated, merged or reclassified, as applicable) equal to the number of Common Units that such holder would have been entitled to receive if the Non-Voting Common Units had been converted into Common Units immediately prior to such Record Date or effective date, as the case may be, (2) in respect of clauses (v) through (viii) above, in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, the holders of Non-Voting Common Units shall have the right to participate in such repurchases, issuances, or distributions, and exercise rights with respect to such issuances, as applicable, on the same basis as they would have if such Non-Voting Common Units had been converted into Common Units immediately prior to the Record Date or effective date, as applicable, thereof, and (3) in addition to the foregoing, in the case of a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person, the Partnership shall provide effective provisions to ensure that the provisions in this Section 5.9 relating to the Non-Voting Common Units shall not be abridged or amended and that the Non-Voting Common Units shall thereafter retain the same powers, economic rights, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon, as the Non-Voting Common Units had immediately prior to such transaction or event, and any other terms of the Non-Voting Common Units that the Board of Directors, in its reasonable discretion, determines require adjustment to achieve the economic equivalence described above shall be proportionately adjusted to take into account any such subdivision, split, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.9(b)(v)(E) shall become effective immediately after the Record Date in the case of a distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person) or split. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described above shall occur. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the foregoing, it is intended that a Non-Voting Common Unit shall be economically equivalent to a Common Unit and that the Board of Directors will take any action that it determines is reasonably necessary to preserve such intent.

(F) No Adjustments for Certain Items. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 5.9(b)(v), no adjustment shall be made to the Non-Voting Common Units pursuant to Section 5.9(b)(v)(E) as a result of any of the following:

(1) Any issuance of Partnership Interests in exchange for cash;

(4) The issuance of Common Units upon conversion of Non-Voting Common Units.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, whenever the issuance of a Partnership Interest or other event would require an adjustment to the Non-Voting Common Units under one or more provisions of this Agreement, only one adjustment shall be made to the Non-Voting Common Units in respect of such issuance or event to the extent that applying more than one adjustment would not preserve the economic equivalence between a Common Unit and a Non-Voting Common Unit.

(G) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.9(b)(v)(E), unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, no adjustment to the Non-Voting Common Units shall be made with respect to any distribution or other transaction described in Section 5.9(b)(v)(E) if the holders of Non-Voting Common Units are entitled to participate in such distribution or transaction as if they held a number of Common Units issuable upon conversion of the Non-Voting Common Units immediately prior to such event without having to convert their Non-Voting Common Units.

(H) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the case of a merger, consolidation, or business combination in which the Common Units are converted into or exchanged for cash or other consideration (including securities), the Board of Directors will take all actions reasonably necessary to

ensure that the Non-Voting Common Units will be converted into or exchanged for the cash or other consideration that a holder of Non-Voting Common Units would have been entitled to receive if the Non-Voting Common Units had been converted into Common Units immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger, consolidation, or business combination.

(c) Transfer Assistance. In the event of a transfer of Non-Voting Common Units to any Person, the Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the conversion of such Non-Voting Common Units in connection with such transfer, including coordinating with the Transfer Agent to facilitate such transfer and to record the transfer and conversion of such Non-Voting Common Units in a manner that permits the sale of the Non-Voting Common Units in market transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, a holder of Non-Voting Common Units may pledge any Non-Voting Common Units in connection with a bona fide loan or other extension of credit entered into by such holder.

ARTICLE VI

(a) Subject to Section 5.8(b)(i), within forty-five (45) days following the end of each Quarter, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of Available Cash with respect to such Quarter shall be distributed in accordance with this Article VI by the Partnership to the Partners as of the Record Date selected by the Board of Directors. All distributions required to be made under this Agreement shall be made subject to Sections 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Act.

(b) The Partnership will first distribute the aggregate Series A Distribution Amount (excluding any portion paid in Series A PIK Units) and then will distribute the remaining Available Cash to all Common Unitholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all holders of Non-Voting Common Units in accordance with Section 5.9(b)(i)), Pro Rata.

(d) Each distribution in respect of a Partnership Interest shall be paid by the Partnership, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Partnership Interest as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Partnership’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.

ARTICLE VII

MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF BUSINESS

Section 7.1 Management by Board of Directors.

(a) Establishment of Board of Directors. Effective as of the date of this Agreement, there is hereby established a committee (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) composed of seven (7) natural persons (the “Directors”) having the authority and duties set forth in this Agreement.

(i) The initial Directors of the Partnership as of the date of this Agreement are the following individuals: Xxxxx X. Robo (Chairman), Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Austin, Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Kind, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xx. and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx. Each of the foregoing initial Directors shall serve a term commencing on the date of this Agreement and expiring at 11:59:59 p.m. on December 31, 2017 (or such Director’s earlier resignation, retirement, removal from office or death), or such later date as the LP Elected Directors shall have been duly elected and qualified.

(ii) Each Director shall be entitled to one vote on all matters to be decided by the Board. Any decision to be made by the Board shall require the approval of at least four (4) Directors present and voting at any meeting at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that in the event that the number of Directors then serving on the Board of Directors is fewer than four (4) Directors, the act of the majority of the Directors present and voting at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors; provided, further, that, if the Board of Directors is unable to make a decision with respect to any matter contemplated by Section 7.1(b)(i), Section 7.1(b)(iii), Section 7.1(b)(iv), Section 7.1(b)(vi) or Section 7.1(b)(xiii), the Manager shall be authorized to take any action with respect to such matter that is consistent with the Operating Plan then in effect. No Director acting alone (except as provided in Section 7.1(e)(iii)) or with any other Director or Directors (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) shall have the power to act for or on behalf of, or to bind, the Partnership. The Board of Directors shall constitute a committee within the meaning of Section 17-303(b)(7) of the Delaware Act.

(b) Management Generally. In order to enable the Board of Directors to manage the business and affairs of the Partnership, the General Partner hereby delegates to the Board of Directors all management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership that it may now or hereafter possess under applicable law (other than those powers retained by the General Partner, as set forth in Section 1.2, Section 2.4, Section 3.3(c), Section 7.1(d), Section 7.2, Section 7.7(d), Section 7.10, Section 12.4, Section 13.1(b), Section 13.4(b) and Section 14.4, and other than the General Partner’s obligations pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement) as permitted under Section 17-403(c) of the Delaware Act. The General Partner further agrees to take any and all action necessary and appropriate, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, to effect any actions duly authorized by the Board of Directors or any officer of the Partnership, including executing or filing any agreements, instruments or certificates, delivering all documents, providing all information and taking or refraining from taking any

action as may be necessary or appropriate to achieve all the effective delegation of power described in this Section 7.1. Each of the Partners and each Person who may acquire an interest in a Limited Partner Interest is hereby deemed to have approved, consented to, ratified and confirmed such delegation. The delegation by the General Partner to the Board of Directors of management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall not cause the General Partner to cease to be the general partner of the Partnership, nor shall it cause the Board of Directors or any member thereof to be a general partner of the Partnership or to have or be subject to any liabilities of a general partner of the Partnership that may be applicable. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 1.2, Section 2.4, Section 3.3(c), Section 7.1(d), Section 7.2, Section 7.7(d), Section 7.10, Section 12.4, Section 13.1(b), Section 13.4(b), Section 14.4 and Article IX of this Agreement), and except as delegated to the “Manager Group” (as defined in the Management Services Agreement) as set forth in the Management Services Agreement or as otherwise provided therein, the management of the Partnership shall be vested exclusively in the Board of Directors and, subject to the direction of the Board of Directors, the Partnership’s officers and the Board of Directors shall, subject to Section 7.3, have full power and authority to do all things and on such terms as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of the Partnership, to exercise all powers set forth in Section 2.5 and to effectuate the purposes set forth in Section 2.4, including the following:

(vi) the distribution of cash held by the Partnership;

(vii) subject to the terms of the Management Services Agreement, the selection and dismissal of employees (including employees having titles such as “president,” “vice president,” “secretary,” and “treasurer”) and agents, internal and outside attorneys, accountants, consultants and contractors, and the determination of their compensation and other terms of employment or hiring;

(viii) approval of any agreement or arrangement (or any termination or amendment thereof) between any Partner or its Affiliate (other than a Group Member), on the one hand, and the Partnership or any other Group Member, on the other hand;

(c) Neither the General Partner nor any of the Limited Partners in their capacities as such shall have any part in the management of the Partnership (except, with respect to the General Partner, pursuant to Section 1.2, Section 2.4, Section 3.3(c), Section 7.1(d), Section 7.2, Section 7.7(d), Section 7.10, Section 12.4, Section 13.1(b), Section 13.4(b), Section 14.4 and Article IX of this Agreement) and shall have no authority or right to act on behalf of the Partnership or deal with any third parties on behalf of the Partnership in connection with any matter, except as requested or authorized by the Board of Directors.

(d) Number of Directors; Term of Office. The authorized number of Directors shall be seven (7) Directors.

(i) Three (3) Directors shall be appointed by the General Partner, in its sole discretion. A Director appointed by the General Partner may sometimes be referred to herein as an “NEP GP Appointed Director.” Each NEP GP Appointed Director shall hold office for the term of which he is appointed and until his successor shall have been duly appointed and qualified or until his earlier resignation, retirement, removal from office or death. The initial NEP GP Appointed Directors shall take office commencing at 12:00:01 a.m. on January 1, 2018 (or such later date as such NEP GP Appointed Directors shall have been duly appointed and qualified).

(ii) At each annual meeting of Limited Partners commencing with the annual meeting of Limited Partners held in 2017, the Limited Partners shall elect four (4) Directors. A Director elected by the Limited Partners may sometimes be referred to herein as an “LP Elected Director.” Each LP Elected Director shall hold office for a term of one (1) year commencing at 12:00:01 a.m. on January 1 (or such later date as such LP Elected Director shall have been duly elected and qualified) of the next succeeding year and extending through 11:59:59 p.m. on December 31 of such year (or such later date as such LP Elected Director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified). Each LP Elected Director shall hold office for the term of which he is elected and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation, retirement, removal from office or death. No person who shall have attained the age of seventy-two (72) years by the date of election shall be eligible for election as an LP Elected Director; provided, however, that the Board of Directors is authorized, in circumstances it deems appropriate and by unanimous approval of all of the Directors then in office (except the LP Elected Director whose qualification is the subject of the action), to render an LP Elected Director then in office (the “Affected Director”) eligible for election as an LP Elected Director until either the date of election next following the Affected Director’s seventy-third (73^rd) birthday or the date of election next following the Affected Director’s seventy-fourth (74^th) birthday.

(iii) Candidates for election to the Board of Directors as LP Elected Directors shall be designated by the Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that, if the Board of Directors fails to approve one or more of the nominees proposed by the Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer, after the Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer shall have had a reasonable opportunity to present to, and discuss with, the Board of Directors his proposed nominees (and any alternative candidates), then (A) any such nominee shall

nevertheless be included in the proxy statement for the next annual meeting of Limited Partners and (B) the LP Elected Directors, by a majority vote of the LP Elected Directors then in office, shall be entitled to include in the proxy statement for the next annual meeting of Limited Partners a corresponding number of its own nominees for election to the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Limited Partners shall be entitled to include in the Partnership’s proxy statement nominees for election to the Board of Directors as LP Elected Directors in accordance with Article XV, subject to compliance with the terms thereof.

(iv) Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors shall be filled only by a majority vote of the Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director, and each Director so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at 11:59:59 p.m. on December 31 of the year in which the vacancy is filled; provided that, if at any time a vacancy is created on the Board of Directors by reason of the death, removal or resignation of any NEP GP Appointed Director, then only the General Partner shall be entitled (in its sole discretion) to designate a replacement for such Director.

(v) An LP Elected Director may be removed from the Board of Directors (A) by a majority vote of the entire Board of Directors, but only for Cause; or (B) by Limited Partners at a special meeting at which the notice of meeting properly includes the removal of LP Elected Directors for Cause in accordance with Section 13.4; provided that a quorum is present and the required vote of Limited Partners is obtained in accordance with Section 13.9(c). An NEP GP Appointed Director may be removed from the Board of Directors only by the General Partner, with or without Cause.

(e) Meetings of the Board. Regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such times and places (either within or outside the State of Delaware) as may be determined by the Board of Directors. Notice of the time and place of any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be given to each Director either by personal delivery, e-mail, facsimile, reputable overnight delivery service, telegram, cablegram or by telephone at least two (2) days prior to the meeting. Notice may also be given through the postal service if mailed at least five (5) days prior to the meeting.

(i) Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not be given to any Director who signs a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting. Attendance of a Director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting and a waiver of any and all objections to the place of the meeting, the time of the meeting or the manner in which it has been called or convened, except when a Director states, at the beginning of the meeting, any objection to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

(ii) Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

(iii) Four (4) Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that, whenever, for any reason, vacancies occur in the

Board of Directors that reduce the number of Directors then serving on the Board of Directors to fewer than four (4) Directors, a quorum shall consist of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, solely for the purpose of filling such vacancies pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(iv).

(iv) A majority of the Directors present at a meeting of the Board of Directors, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn such meeting to another time and place. Notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to the Directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the time of adjournment, to the other Directors.

(v) Meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership or by any three (3) Directors. Regular meetings of committees shall be held on the schedule approved by the Board of Directors. Special meetings of committees may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the chairman of such committee or any three (3) members of such committee.

(vi) Members of the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of Directors by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

(vii) Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or if such position is vacant or such person is absent, by the Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership. If neither the Chairman of the Board nor the Chief Executive Officer is present, the Directors shall elect a chairman for the meeting from one of their members present.

(viii) Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the Directors, or any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Directors or a committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so to be taken, signed by such number of Directors as would be required to approve such matter if a meeting of Directors were held, is filed in the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors or of the committee. Such consent shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote.

(f) Compensation of the Directors. Directors, as such, shall not receive any stated salary for their services, but shall receive such compensation for their services as may be from time to time agreed upon by the Board of Directors. In addition, a fixed sum and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses of attendance, if any, may be allowed for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors; provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude any Director (including the Chief Executive Officer) from serving the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving compensation for such service.

(g) Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership, unless the Board of Directors designates another individual to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. At any time, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if any, may be removed from his position as Chairman by the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, in his capacity as such, shall not have any of the rights or powers of an officer of the Partnership, unless he, in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of Directors, is appointed as an officer of the Partnership. The Chairman shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors and at all meetings of the Partners at which he is present.

(h) Committees of the Board. The Board of Directors may, by resolution, designate from among the Directors one or more committees (which shall include the Audit Committee and the Conflicts Committee), each of which shall be composed of one or more Directors, and may designate one or more of the Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may, subject to any limitations imposed by the Board of Directors, replace absent or disqualified Directors at any meeting of that committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in such resolution, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board of Directors, subject to the limitations set forth in the Delaware Act, if any, or in the establishment of the committee. Any member of any such committee may be removed from such committee by the Board of Directors. Unless the resolution designating a particular committee or this Agreement expressly so provides, a committee of the Board of Directors shall not have the authority to authorize or make a distribution to the Limited Partners or to authorize the issuance of Limited Partner Interests. Any committee of the Board of Directors shall constitute a committee within the meaning of Section 17-303(b)(7) of the Delaware Act. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the delegation to any committee of the Board of Directors of any management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall not cause the General Partner to cease to be a general partner of the Partnership nor shall it cause such committee of the Board of Directors or any member thereof to be a general partner of the Partnership or to have or be subject to any liabilities of a general partner of the Partnership that may be applicable. The initial members of the Audit Committee as of the date of this Agreement are Xxxxx X. Xxxxx (Chairman), Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Austin and Xxxxx X. Kind. The initial members of the Conflicts Committee as of the date of this Agreement are Xxxxx X. Kind (Chairman), Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx.

(i) Officers and Agents. Officers, employees, agents and consultants of the Partnership shall be appointed, retained, terminated and replaced by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that, for so long as NextEra Energy Management Partners, LP (or another Affiliate of NEE) serves as Manager under the Management Services Agreement (or any successor agreement), such officers, employees, agents and consultants of the Partnership shall be appointed, retained, terminated and replaced by the Board of Directors, subject to and in accordance with the designations of the Manager pursuant to the Management Services Agreement. Each such officer, employee, agent and consultant shall have the power, acting individually or jointly, to affix the signature of the Partnership to all deeds, conveyances, mortgages, leases, obligations, bonds, certificates and other papers and instruments in writing that have been authorized by the Board of Directors, enter into contracts on behalf of the Partnership and otherwise represent and bind the Partnership in all matters, in each case, in accordance with the scope of their respective duties.

Section 7.2 Certificate of Limited Partnership. The General Partner has caused the Certificate of Limited Partnership to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as required by the Delaware Act. The Board of Directors shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents that the Board of Directors determines to be necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Delaware or any other state in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. To the extent the General Partner or the Board of Directors determines such action to be necessary or appropriate, the General Partner or the Partnership shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate of Limited Partnership and do all things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership or other entity in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware or of any other state in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 3.3(a), neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate of Limited Partnership, any qualification document or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner.

Section 7.3 Restrictions on the Partnership’s Authority to Sell Assets of the Partnership Group.

Except as provided in Article XII and Article XIV, the Partnership may not sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership Group, taken as a whole, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion, and the approval of (a) at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units (including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A), but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units and all Units owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates), voting as a separate class, and (b) at least a majority of (i) the Outstanding Special Voting Units and (ii) the Outstanding Common Units (including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A), but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units) owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that this provision shall not preclude or limit the Partnership’s ability to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership Group and shall not apply to any forced sale of any or all of the assets of the Partnership Group pursuant to the foreclosure of, or other realization upon, any such encumbrance.

Section 7.4 Reimbursement of the General Partner.

(a) Except as provided in the Management Services Agreement and elsewhere in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as a general partner or managing member of any Group Member.

(b) Subject to the Management Services Agreement, and without duplication, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine, for (i) all direct and indirect expenses it incurs or payments it makes on behalf of the Partnership Group and (ii) all other expenses allocable to the Partnership Group or otherwise incurred by the General Partner or its Affiliates in connection

with its service as General Partner of the Partnership (including expenses allocated to the General Partner by its Affiliates). The General Partner shall determine the expenses that are allocable to the Partnership Group. Reimbursements pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the General Partner as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7. This provision does not affect the ability of the General Partner and its Affiliates to enter into an agreement to provide services to any Group Member for a fee or otherwise than for cost.

(c) The Board of Directors, without the approval of the Limited Partners (who shall have no right to vote in respect thereof), may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans, employee programs and employee practices (including plans, programs and practices involving the issuance of Partnership Interests or options to purchase or rights, warrants or appreciation rights or phantom or tracking interests relating to Partnership Interests), or cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Interests in connection with, or pursuant to, any employee benefit plan, employee program or employee practice maintained or sponsored by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates in each case for the benefit of officers, employees and directors of the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership Group. The Partnership agrees to issue and sell to any of its Affiliates any Partnership Interests that the Partnership or such Affiliates are obligated to provide to any officers, employees, consultants and directors pursuant to any such employee benefit plans, employee programs or employee practices. Expenses incurred by the General Partner, if any, in connection with any such plans, programs and practices (including the net cost to the General Partner or such Affiliates of Partnership Interests purchased by the General Partner or such Affiliates from the Partnership to fulfill options or awards under such plans, programs and practices) shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 7.4(b). Any and all obligations of the General Partner under any employee benefit plans, employee programs or employee practices adopted by the General Partner as permitted by this Section 7.4(c) shall constitute obligations of the General Partner hereunder and shall be assumed by any successor General Partner approved pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 or the transferee of or successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 4.6.

Section 7.5 Outside Activities.

(a) The General Partner, for so long as it is the General Partner of the Partnership, (i) agrees that its sole business will be to act as a general partner or managing member, as the case may be, of the Partnership and any other partnership or limited liability company of which the Partnership is, directly or indirectly, a partner or member and to undertake activities that are ancillary or related thereto (including being a Limited Partner in the Partnership) and (ii) shall not engage in any business or activity or incur any debts or liabilities except in connection with or incidental to (A) its performance as general partner or managing member, if any, of one or more Group Members or as described in the Partnership’s public filings with the Commission or (B) the acquiring, owning or disposing of debt securities or equity interests in any Group Member.

(b) Subject to the terms of Section 7.5(c), the Right of First Offer Agreement and the Right of First Refusal Agreement, each Unrestricted Person (other than the General

Partner) shall have the right to engage in businesses of every type and description and other activities for profit and to engage in and possess an interest in other business ventures of any and every type or description, whether in businesses engaged in or anticipated to be engaged in by any Group Member, independently or with others, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the business and activities of any Group Member, and none of the same shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise, to any Group Member or any Partner; provided such Unrestricted Person does not engage in such business or activity using confidential or proprietary information provided by or on behalf of the Partnership to such Unrestricted Person. None of any Group Member, any Limited Partner or any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any business ventures of any Unrestricted Person.

(c) Subject to the terms of Section 7.5(a) and Section 7.5(b), the Right of First Offer Agreement and the Right of First Refusal Agreement, but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the engaging in competitive activities by any Unrestricted Person (other than the General Partner) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.5 is hereby approved by the Partnership and all Partners, (ii) it shall be deemed not to be a breach of any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise, of the General Partner or any other Unrestricted Person for the Unrestricted Persons (other than the General Partner) to engage in such business interests and activities in preference to or to the exclusion of the Partnership and (iii) the Unrestricted Persons shall have no obligation hereunder or as a result of any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise, to present business opportunities to the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to any Unrestricted Person (including the General Partner). No Unrestricted Person (including the General Partner) who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Partnership shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Partnership, and such Unrestricted Person (including the General Partner) shall not be liable to the Partnership, to any Limited Partner or any other Person bound by this Agreement for breach of any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such Unrestricted Person (including the General Partner) pursues or acquires for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Partnership, provided such Unrestricted Person does not engage in such business or activity using confidential or proprietary information provided by or on behalf of the Partnership to such Unrestricted Person.

(d) The General Partner and each of its Affiliates may acquire Units or other Partnership Interests and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be entitled to exercise, at their option and in their sole discretion, all rights relating to all Units or other Partnership Interests acquired by them. The term “Affiliates” when used in this Section 7.5(d) with respect to the General Partner shall not include any Group Member.

Section 7.6 Loans from the General Partner; Loans or Contributions from the Partnership or Group Members.

(a) The General Partner or any of its Affiliates (other than the Partnership) may, but has no obligation to, lend to any Group Member (including, subject to the consent of the Board of Directors, the Partnership), and any Group Member (including, subject to the consent of the Board of Directors, the Partnership) may borrow from the General Partner or any of its Affiliates (other than the Partnership), funds needed or desired by the Group Member for such periods of time and in such amounts as the General Partner (and, if the Partnership is the borrowing party, the Board of Directors) may determine; provided, however, that in any such case the lending party may charge the borrowing party interest at prevailing rates (including prevailing origination fees) that would be charged or imposed on the borrowing party by unrelated lenders on comparable loans made on an arm’s-length basis (without reference to the lending party’s financial abilities or guarantees), all as determined by the General Partner (and, if the Partnership is the borrowing party, the Board of Directors). The borrowing party shall reimburse the lending party for any costs (other than any additional interest costs) incurred by the lending party in connection with the borrowing of such funds. For purposes of this Section 7.6(a) and Section 7.6(b), the term “Group Member” shall include any Affiliate of a Group Member that is controlled by the Group Member.

(b) The Partnership may lend or contribute to any Group Member, and any Group Member may borrow from the Partnership, funds on terms and conditions determined by the Board of Directors. No Group Member may lend funds to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates (other than another Group Member); provided, however, that Cash Sweep Withdrawals shall not be subject to this Section 7.6(b).

(c) No borrowing by any Group Member or the approval thereof by the Board of Directors shall be deemed to constitute a breach of any duty or any other obligation of any type whatsoever, expressed or implied, of the Board of Directors to the Partnership or the Limited Partners existing hereunder, or existing at law, in equity or otherwise by reason of the fact that the purpose or effect of such borrowing is directly or indirectly to enable distributions to the General Partner or its Affiliates (including in their capacities as Limited Partners) to exceed the General Partner’s or its Affiliates’ Percentage Interest of the total amount distributed to all Limited Partners.

Section 7.7 Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, all Indemnitees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal and including appeals, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee and acting (or omitting or refraining to act) in such capacity on behalf of or for the benefit of the Partnership; provided that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless pursuant to this Agreement if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or

engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful; provided, further, that no indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be available to any Indemnitee (other than a Group Member or a Director) with respect to any such Affiliate’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, it being agreed that the General Partner shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to Section 7.7(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Partnership of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by this Section 7.7.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under this Agreement, any other agreement, including the Management Services Agreement, pursuant to any vote of the holders of Outstanding Limited Partner Interests, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

(d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the General Partner or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the General Partner, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Partnership, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Section 7.7: (i) the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; (ii) excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 7.7(a); and (iii) action taken or omitted by it with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is in the best interests of the Partnership.

(f) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(h) The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(i) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Partnership, nor the obligations of the Partnership to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 7.8 Liability of Indemnitees.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership, the Limited Partners or any other Persons who have acquired interests in the Partnership Interests for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was criminal.

(b) Each of the General Partner and the Board of Directors may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its employees or agents, and neither the General Partner nor the Board of Directors shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such employee or agent appointed in good faith by the General Partner or the Board of Directors.

(c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnitee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or to the Partners, the General Partner and any other Indemnitee acting in connection with the Partnership’s business or affairs shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Indemnitees under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 7.9 Resolution of Conflicts of Interest; Standards of Conduct and Modification of Duties.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Group Member Agreement, whenever a potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates or any Director, on the one hand, and the Partnership, any Group Member or any Partner, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the General Partner or its Affiliates or the Board of Directors in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any Group Member Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein or therein or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) approved by the vote of a majority of the Outstanding Common Units (excluding all Non-Voting Common Units and excluding, if the conflict involves the General partner or any of its Affiliates, Common Units and Special Voting Units owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates, but including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A)), (iii) determined by the Board of Directors to be on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iv) determined by the Board of Directors to be fair and reasonable to the Partnership, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership). The Board of Directors shall be authorized but not required in connection with the resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval or Unitholder approval of such resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner, for itself and its Affiliates, and the Board of Directors, for any Group Member, may also each adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval or Unitholder approval. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Group Member Agreement, whenever the Board of Directors makes a determination to refer or not to refer any potential conflict of interest to the Conflicts Committee for Special Approval, or whenever the General Partner, for itself and its Affiliates, or the Board of Directors, as applicable, determines to seek or not to seek Unitholder approval, the General Partner or the Board of Directors, as applicable, shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, and the General Partner or the Board of Directors, as applicable, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity, and the General Partner or the Board of Directors, as applicable, in making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action shall be permitted to do so in its sole and absolute discretion. If Special Approval is sought, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Conflicts Committee acted in good faith, and if the Board of Directors determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (iii) or (iv) above, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Board of Directors acted in good faith. In any proceeding brought by any Limited Partner or by or on behalf of such Limited Partner or any other Limited Partner or the Partnership challenging any action by the Conflicts Committee with respect to any matter referred to the Conflicts Committee for Special Approval by the Board of Directors, any action by the Board of Directors in determining whether the resolution or course of action taken with

respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (iii) or (iv) above, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming the presumption that the Conflicts Committee or the Board of Directors, as applicable, acted in good faith; in all cases subject to the provisions for conclusive determination in Section 7.9(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or equity, the existence of the conflicts of interest described in the IPO Registration Statement are hereby approved by all Partners and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(b) Whenever the General Partner or the Board of Directors, or any Director or any committee of the Board of Directors (including the Conflicts Committee), makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any Affiliate of the General Partner causes the General Partner to do so, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement, then, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, the General Partner, the Board of Directors or such Director or such committee or such Affiliates causing the General Partner to do so, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards (including fiduciary standards) imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. A determination or other action or inaction will conclusively be deemed to be in “good faith” for all purposes of this Agreement, if the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action subjectively believe that the determination or other action or inaction is in the best interests of the Partnership Group; provided that, if the Board of Directors is making a determination or taking or declining to take an action pursuant to clause (iii) or clause (iv) of the first sentence of Section 7.9(a), then in lieu thereof, such determination or other action or inaction will conclusively be deemed to be in “good faith” for all purposes of this Agreement if the members of the Board of Directors making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action subjectively believe that the determination or other action or inaction meets the standard set forth in clause (iii) or clause (iv) of the first sentence of Section 7.9(a), as applicable.

(c) Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its individual capacity as opposed to in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, are entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, and the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity, and the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action shall be permitted to do so in their sole and absolute discretion. By way of illustration and not of limitation, whenever the phrase, “the General Partner at its option,” or some variation of that phrase, is used in this Agreement, it indicates that the General Partner is acting in its individual

capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the General Partner votes or transfers its Partnership Interests, or refrains from voting or transferring its Partnership Interests, it shall be acting in its individual capacity.

(d) The General Partner’s organizational documents may provide that determinations to take or decline to take any action in its individual, rather than representative, capacity may or shall be determined by its members, if the General Partner is a limited liability company, by its stockholders, if the General Partner is a corporation, or by the members or stockholders of the General Partner’s general partner, if the General Partner is a partnership.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the Board of Directors and the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no duty or obligation, express or implied, to sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Partnership Group other than in the ordinary course of business and (ii) the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no duty or obligation, express or implied, to permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the General Partner and its Affiliates, except, in each case, as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use. Any determination by the Board of Directors or the General Partner or any of its Affiliates to enter into such contracts shall be at its option.

(f) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or required by the Delaware Act, neither the General Partner, nor any Director, nor any other Indemnitee shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the General Partner, Directors or any other Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner or such other Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall eliminate or limit (i) the express contractual provisions set forth herein or (ii) the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(g) The Unitholders shall be deemed to have authorized the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership as a general partner or managing member of a Group Member, to approve actions by the general partner or managing member of such Group Member similar to those actions permitted to be taken by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.9.

Section 7.10 Certain Additional Matters Requiring Consent of the General Partner. In addition to the General Partner’s powers pursuant to Article IX and in addition to any other powers held by, or actions ascribed to, the General Partner under this Agreement or the Delaware Act, the General Partner’s consent, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion, shall be required for (a) the merger, consolidation or conversion of any Group Member; (b) the dissolution of any Group Member; (c) any amendment of the OpCo Partnership Agreement; and (d) any direct or indirect transfer of all or any portion of the general partner interest in the Operating Partnership to any Person.

Section 7.11 Purchase or Sale of Partnership Interests. The Board of Directors may cause the Partnership to purchase or otherwise acquire Partnership Interests or Derivative Partnership Interests. As long as Partnership Interests are held by any Group Member, such

Partnership Interests shall not be considered Outstanding for any purpose, except as otherwise provided herein. The General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner may also purchase or otherwise acquire and sell or otherwise dispose of Partnership Interests for its own account, subject to the provisions of Articles IV and X.

Section 7.12 Reliance.

(a) Reliance on Information.

(i) The General Partner, the Board of Directors and any other Indemnitee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(ii) The General Partner, the Board of Directors and any other Indemnitee may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the advice or opinion (including an Opinion of Counsel) of such Persons as to matters that the General Partner, the Board of Directors or such Indemnitee, respectively, reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion.

(iii) The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers, a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact or the duly authorized officers of the Partnership or any Group Member; provided, however, that officers of the General Partner shall be entitled to act on behalf of and to bind the Partnership only in such matters as the General Partner is authorized to act pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the Board of Directors, the General Partner and any officer authorized by the Board of Directors or General Partner to act on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any authorized contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the Board of Directors, the General Partner or any such officer as if it were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Board of Directors, the General Partner or any such officer in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the Board of Directors, the General Partner or any such officer or their representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the Board of Directors, the General Partner or any such officer or their representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the

Board of Directors, the General Partner or their officers or representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person’s relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.

(a) By acceptance of any Limited Partner Interests transferred in accordance with Article IV or acceptance of any Limited Partner Interests issued pursuant to Article V or pursuant to a merger, consolidation or conversion pursuant to Article XIV, each transferee of, or other such Person acquiring, a Limited Partner Interest (including any nominee, agent or representative acquiring such Limited Partner Interests for the account of another Person or Group, which nominee, agent or representative shall be subject to Section 10.1(b) below) (i) shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interests so transferred or issued to such Person when such Person becomes the Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interests so transferred or acquired, (ii) shall become bound, and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound, by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) shall be deemed to represent that the transferee or acquirer has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and (iv) shall be deemed to make any consents, acknowledgements or waivers contained in this Agreement, all with or without execution of this Agreement by such Person. The transfer of any Limited Partner Interests and the admission of any new Limited Partner shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement. A Person may become a Limited Partner without the consent or approval of any of the Partners. A Person may not become a Limited Partner without acquiring a Limited Partner Interest and becoming the Record Holder of such Limited Partner Interest.

(b) With respect to Units that are held for a Person’s account by another Person that is the Record Holder (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation, or an agent of any of the foregoing), such Record Holder shall, in exercising the rights of a Limited Partner in respect of such Units, including the right to vote on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, take all action as a Limited Partner by virtue of being the Record Holder of such Units in accordance with the direction of the Person who is the beneficial owner of such Units, and the Partnership shall be entitled to assume such Record Holder is so acting without further inquiry. The provisions of this Section 10.1(b) are subject to the provisions of Section 4.3.

(c) The name and mailing address of each Record Holder shall be listed in the Register. The Partnership shall update the Register from time to time as necessary to reflect accurately the information therein (or shall cause the Transfer Agent to do so, as applicable).

(d) Any transfer of a Limited Partner Interest shall not entitle the transferee to share in the profits and losses, to receive distributions, to receive allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or any similar item or to any other rights to which the transferor was entitled until the transferee becomes a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 10.1(a).

Section 10.2 Admission of Successor General Partner. A successor General Partner approved pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 or the transferee of or successor to all of the General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 4.6 who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective immediately prior to the withdrawal or removal of the predecessor or transferring General Partner, pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2 or the transfer of the General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 4.6; provided, however, that no such successor shall be admitted to the Partnership until compliance with the terms of Section 4.6 has occurred and such successor has executed and delivered such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect such admission. Any

such successor is hereby authorized to and shall, subject to the terms hereof, carry on the business of the members of the Partnership Group without dissolution.

ARTICLE XI

WITHDRAWAL OR REMOVAL OF PARTNERS

Section 11.1 Withdrawal of the General Partner.

(a) The General Partner shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership upon the occurrence of any one of the following events (each such event herein referred to as an “Event of Withdrawal”);

(i) The General Partner voluntarily withdraws from the Partnership by giving written notice to the other Partners pursuant to Section 11.1(b);

(ii) The General Partner transfers all of its General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 4.6;

(iii) The General Partner is removed pursuant to Section 11.2;

(iv) The General Partner (A) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) files a voluntary bankruptcy petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (C) files a petition or answer seeking for itself a liquidation, dissolution or similar relief (but not a reorganization) under any law; (D) files an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against the General Partner in a proceeding of the type described in clauses (A)-(C) of this Section 11.1(a)(iv); or (E) seeks, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee (but not a debtor-in-possession), receiver or liquidator of the General Partner or of all or any substantial part of its properties;

(v) A final and non-appealable order of relief under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction pursuant to a voluntary or involuntary petition by or against the General Partner; or

(vi) (A) if the General Partner is a corporation, a certificate of dissolution or its equivalent is filed for the General Partner, or 90 days expire after the date of notice to the General Partner of revocation of its charter without a reinstatement of its charter, under the laws of its state of incorporation; (B) if the General Partner is a partnership or a limited liability company, the dissolution and commencement of winding up of the General Partner; (C) if the General Partner is acting in such capacity by virtue

of being a trustee of a trust, the termination of the trust; (D) if the General Partner is a natural person, his death or adjudication of incompetency; and (E) otherwise upon the termination of the General Partner.

If an Event of Withdrawal specified in Section 11.1(a)(iv), (v) or (vi)(A), (B), (C) or (E) occurs, the withdrawing General Partner shall give notice to the Limited Partners within 30 days after such occurrence. The Partners hereby agree that only the Events of Withdrawal described in this Section 11.1 shall result in the withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership.

(b) Withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership upon the occurrence of an Event of Withdrawal shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances: (i) in respect of the Event of Withdrawal specified in Section 11.1(a)(i), the General Partner voluntarily withdraws by giving at least 90 days’ advance notice to the Unitholders, such withdrawal to take effect on the date specified in such notice; or (ii) at any time that the General Partner ceases to be the General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii) or is removed pursuant to Section 11.2. The withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership upon the occurrence of an Event of Withdrawal shall also constitute the withdrawal of the General Partner as general partner or managing member, if any, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members. If the General Partner gives a notice of withdrawal pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), the holders of a Unit Majority, may, prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, elect a successor General Partner. The Person so elected as successor General Partner shall automatically become the successor general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.1 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.2.

Section 11.2 Removal of the General Partner. The General Partner may be removed if such removal is approved by the Unitholders holding at least sixty-six and two thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Outstanding Units (including Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates, but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units) voting as a single class. Any such action by such holders for removal of the General Partner must also provide for the election of a successor General Partner by the holders of a Unit Majority. Such removal shall be effective immediately following the admission of a successor General Partner pursuant to Section 10.2. The removal of the General Partner shall also automatically constitute the removal of the General Partner as general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. If a Person is elected as a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2, such Person shall, upon admission pursuant to Section 10.2, automatically become a successor general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. The right of the holders of Outstanding Units, voting together as a single class, to remove the General Partner pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not exist or be exercised unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that such removal (following the selection of the successor General Partner) would not result in the loss of the limited liability under the Delaware Act of any Limited Partner. Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.2.

Section 11.3 Interest of Departing General Partner and Successor General Partner.

(a) In the event of (i) withdrawal of the General Partner under circumstances where such withdrawal does not violate this Agreement or (ii) removal of the General Partner by the holders of Outstanding Units under circumstances where Cause does not exist, if the successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, the Departing General Partner shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the withdrawal or removal of such Departing General Partner, to require its successor to purchase its Combined Interest in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such Combined Interest, such amount to be determined and payable as of the effective date of its withdrawal or removal. If the General Partner is removed by the Unitholders under circumstances where Cause exists or if the General Partner withdraws under circumstances where such withdrawal violates this Agreement, and if a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 (or if the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 and the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner), such successor shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the withdrawal or removal of such Departing General Partner (or, in the event the business of the Partnership is continued, prior to the date the business of the Partnership is continued), to purchase the Combined Interest for such fair market value of such Combined Interest. In either event, the Departing General Partner shall be entitled to receive all reimbursements due such Departing General Partner pursuant to Section 7.4, including any employee-related liabilities (including severance liabilities), incurred in connection with the termination of any employees employed by the Departing General Partner or its Affiliates (other than any Group Member) for the benefit of the Partnership or the other Group Members.

For purposes of this Section 11.3(a), the fair market value of the Combined Interest shall be determined by agreement between the Departing General Partner and its successor or, failing agreement within 30 days after the effective date of such Departing General Partner’s withdrawal or removal, by an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert that is selected by the Departing General Partner and its successor and that, in turn, may rely on other experts, and the determination by which shall be conclusive as to such matter. If such parties cannot agree upon one independent investment banking firm or other independent expert within 45 days after the effective date of such withdrawal or removal, then the Departing General Partner shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, the Departing General Partner’s successor shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, and such firms or experts shall mutually select a third independent investment banking firm or independent expert, which third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert shall determine the fair market value of the Combined Interest. In making its determination, such third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert may consider the then-current trading price of Units on any National Securities Exchange on which Units are then listed or admitted to trading, the value of the Partnership’s assets, the rights and obligations of the Departing General Partner, the value of the General Partner Interest and other factors it may deem relevant.

(b) If the Combined Interest is not purchased in the manner set forth in Section 11.3(a), the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) shall become a Limited Partner and its Combined Interest shall be converted into Common Units pursuant to a valuation made

by an investment banking firm or other independent expert selected pursuant to Section 11.3(a), without reduction in such Partnership Interest (but subject to proportionate dilution by reason of the admission of its successor). Any successor General Partner shall indemnify the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) as to all debts and liabilities of the Partnership arising on or after the date on which the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) becomes a Limited Partner. For purposes of this Agreement, conversion of the Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner to Common Units will be characterized as if the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) contributed its Combined Interest to the Partnership in exchange for the newly issued Common Units.

(c) If a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 (or if the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 and the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner) and the option described in Section 11.3(a) is not exercised by the party entitled to do so, the successor General Partner shall, at the effective date of its admission to the Partnership, contribute to the Partnership cash in the amount equal to the product of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Adjusted Percentage Interest of the General Partner Interest of the Departing General Partner by (B) a percentage equal to one hundred percent (100%) less the Adjusted Percentage Interest of the General Partner Interest of the Departing General Partner and (y) the Fair Market Value of the Partnership’s assets on such date, net of Liabilities.

(d) In such event, such successor General Partner shall, subject to the following sentence, be entitled to its Adjusted Percentage Interest of all Partnership allocations and distributions to which the Departing General Partner was entitled. In addition, the successor General Partner shall cause this Agreement to be amended to reflect that, from and after the date of such successor General Partner’s admission, the successor General Partner’s interest in all Partnership distributions and allocations shall be its Adjusted Percentage Interest.

Section 11.4 Withdrawal of Limited Partners. No Limited Partner shall have any right to withdraw from the Partnership; provided, however, that when a transferee of a Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interest becomes a Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interest so transferred, such transferring Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interest so transferred.

ARTICLE XII

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Section 12.1 Dissolution. The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the removal or withdrawal of the General Partner, if a successor General Partner is elected pursuant to Section 11.1, Section 11.2 or Section 12.2, the Partnership shall not be dissolved and such successor General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall dissolve, and (subject to Section 12.2) its affairs shall be wound up, upon:

(a) an Event of Withdrawal of the General Partner as provided in Section 11.1(a) (other than Section 11.1(a)(ii)), unless a successor is elected and, if applicable, the Partnership receives an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 11.2 as to the matters set forth therein, and such successor is admitted to the Partnership pursuant to Section 10.2;

(b) an election to dissolve the Partnership by the Board of Directors that is approved by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, and by the holders of (i) at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units (including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A), but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units and excluding all Units owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates), voting as a separate class, and (ii) at least a majority of (A) the Outstanding Special Voting Units and (B) the Outstanding Common Units (including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A), but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units) owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates, voting together as a single class;

(d) at any time there are no Limited Partners, unless the Partnership is continued without dissolution in accordance with the Delaware Act.

Section 12.2 Continuation of the Business of the Partnership After Dissolution. Upon (a) dissolution of the Partnership following an Event of Withdrawal caused by the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner as provided in Section 11.1(a)(i) or (iii) and the failure of the Partners to select a successor to such Departing General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, then, to the maximum extent permitted by law, within ninety (90) days thereafter or (b) dissolution of the Partnership upon an event constituting an Event of Withdrawal as defined in Section 11.1(a)(iv), (v) or (vi), then, to the maximum extent permitted by law, within one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, the holders of a Unit Majority may elect to continue the business of the Partnership on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement by appointing as a successor General Partner a Person approved by the holders of a Unit Majority. Unless such an election is made within the applicable time period as set forth above, the Partnership shall conduct only activities necessary to wind up its affairs. If such an election is so made, then:

(i) the Partnership shall continue without dissolution unless earlier dissolved in accordance with this Article XII;

(ii) if the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner, then the interest of the former General Partner shall be treated in the manner provided in Section 11.3; and

(iii) the successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as General Partner, effective as of the Event of Withdrawal, by agreeing in writing to be bound by this Agreement;

provided, that the right of the holders of a Unit Majority to approve a successor General Partner and to continue the business of the Partnership shall not exist and may not be exercised unless

the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that the exercise of the right would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner under the Delaware Act.

Section 12.3 Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of Article XII, the General Partner shall select one or more Persons to act as Liquidator. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units and Special Voting Units, voting together as a single class (including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A), but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units). The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall agree not to resign at any time without fifteen (15) days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal approved by holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units and Special Voting Units, voting together as a single class (including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A), but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units). Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within thirty (30) days thereafter be approved by holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units and Special Voting Units, voting together as a single class (including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A), but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units). The right to approve a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator approved in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in this Article XII, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the General Partner and the Board of Directors under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, other than the limitation on sale set forth in Section 7.3) necessary or appropriate to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during the period of time required to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership as provided for herein.

Section 12.4 Liquidation. The Liquidator shall proceed to dispose of the assets of the Partnership, discharge its liabilities and otherwise wind up its affairs in such manner and over such period as determined by the Liquidator, subject to Section 17-804 of the Delaware Act and the following:

(a) The assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Partners on such terms as the Liquidator and such Partner or Partners may agree. If any property is distributed in kind, the Partner receiving the property shall be deemed for purposes of Section 12.4(c) to have received cash equal to its Fair Market Value, net of Liabilities; and contemporaneously therewith, appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Partners. The Liquidator may defer liquidation or distribution of the Partnership’s assets for a reasonable time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners. The Liquidator may distribute the Partnership’s assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners.

(b) Liabilities of the Partnership include amounts owed to the Liquidator as compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 12.3) and amounts to Partners otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article VI. With respect to any liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the Liquidator shall either settle such claim for such amount as it thinks appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its payment. When paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be distributed as additional liquidation proceeds.

(c) All property and all cash in excess of that required to discharge liabilities as provided in Section 12.4(b) shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with the priorities for distributions set forth in Article VI, and such distribution shall be made by the end of such taxable period (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after said date of such occurrence); provided that any cash in excess of that required to discharge liabilities as provided in Section 12.4(b) shall be distributed with respect to the Series A Preferred Units and Series A Senior Securities prior to any distribution of cash or cash equivalents with respect to the Series A Junior Securities. The amount of such distribution paid to the holders of Series A Preferred Units shall be the greater of (i) the Series A Liquidation Value and (ii) the amount that holders of Series A Preferred Units would receive had they converted Series A Preferred Units into the number of Common Units determined by multiplying the number of Series A Preferred Units held by such holder by the Series A Conversion Rate immediately prior to the distribution (regardless of whether the Series A Preferred Units are then convertible).

Section 12.5 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership. Upon the completion of the distribution of Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 12.4 in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership, the Certificate of Limited Partnership and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.

Section 12.6 Return of Contributions. The General Partner shall not be personally liable for, and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate, the return of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners or Unitholders, or any portion thereof, it being expressly understood that any such return shall be made solely from assets of the Partnership.

Section 12.7 Waiver of Partition. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

An amendment to this Agreement shall be effective upon its approval by the General Partner or Board of Directors, as applicable, and, except as otherwise provided by Section 13.1 or Section 13.3, the holders of a Unit Majority, unless a different percentage of Outstanding Units is required under this Agreement; provided that, subject to Section 13.1(c), any amendment to Article VI, Article VII, Section 13.1(b), Section 13.1(c), Section 13.2, Section 13.4, Section 13.9, Section 13.13 or Article XV, or any defined terms used therein, shall require the approval of the holders of (a) at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units (including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A), but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units and excluding all Units owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates), voting as a separate class, and (b) at least a majority of (i) the Outstanding Special Voting Units and (ii) the Outstanding Common Units (including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A), but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units) owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates, voting together as a single class.

Each proposed amendment that requires the approval of the holders of a specified percentage of Outstanding Units or class of Limited Partners shall be set forth in a writing that contains the text of the proposed amendment. If such an amendment is proposed, the General Partner or the Board of Directors, as applicable, shall seek the written approval of the requisite percentage of Outstanding Units or class of Limited Partners or call a meeting of the Unitholders to consider and vote on such proposed amendment.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.1 and Section 13.2, no provision of this Agreement that establishes a percentage of Outstanding Units (including Units deemed owned by the General Partner) or class of Limited Partners required to take any action shall be amended, altered, changed, repealed or rescinded in any respect that would have the effect of (i) in the case of any provision of this Agreement other than Section 11.2 or Section 13.4, reducing such percentage or (ii) in the case of Section 11.2 or Section 13.4(b), increasing such percentages, unless such amendment is approved by the written consent or the affirmative vote of holders of Outstanding Common Units and Special Voting Units, voting together as a single class (including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A), but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units), whose aggregate Outstanding Common Units and Special Voting Units, voting together as a single class (including Series A Preferred Units, as provided in Section 5.8(b)(iii)(A), but excluding all Non-Voting Common Units), constitute (x) in the case of a reduction as described in subclause (a)(i) hereof, not less than the voting requirement sought to be reduced, (y) in the case of an increase in the percentage in Section 11.2, not less than ninety percent (90%) of the Outstanding Units (excluding Non-

Voting Common Units) or (z) in the case of an increase in the percentage in Section 13.4(b), not less than a majority of the Outstanding Units (excluding Non-Voting Common Units).

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.1 and Section 13.2, no amendment to this Agreement may (i) enlarge the obligations of any Limited Partner without its consent, unless such shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of an amendment approved pursuant to Section 13.3(c) or (ii) enlarge the obligations of, restrict in any way any action by or rights of or reduce in any way the amounts distributable, reimbursable or otherwise payable to, the General Partner or any of its Affiliates without its consent, which consent may be given or withheld at its option.

(c) Except as provided in Section 14.3, and without limitation of the General Partner’s or Board’s authority to adopt amendments to this Agreement without the approval of any Partner as contemplated in Section 13.1, any amendment (including by merger or otherwise) that would have a material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of any class of Partnership Interests in relation to other classes of Partnership Interests must be approved by the holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Partnership Interests of the class affected. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any amendment (including by merger or otherwise) adversely affecting the distribution, liquidation, transfer, conversion, or voting rights of the holders of Non-Voting Common Units (including any amendment that would (A) result in the Non-Voting Common Units and Common Units not having the same economic rights, (B) provide the Non-Voting Common Units with voting rights in addition to those set forth in this Agreement, (C) impose new or additional restrictions on transfer of the Non-Voting Common Units, (D) adversely change the conversion rights of the Non-Voting Common Units or impose new or additional restrictions on conversion of such Non-Voting Common Units, (E) adversely change the process of converting the Non-Voting Common Units to Common Units, (F) change the beneficial ownership threshold set forth in Section 5.9(b)(v)(B), (G) make the Non-Voting Common Units redeemable or convertible at the option of the Partnership, other than as set forth herein, or (H) adversely change the Partnership’s obligation to provide transfer assistance in connection with a transfer of Non-Voting Common Units to any Person) would require approval pursuant to the foregoing sentence; and (ii) any amendment (including by merger or otherwise) adversely affecting the distribution, liquidation or conversion rights (including in connection with a Series A Change of Control) of the Series A Preferred Unitholders or the ranking or seniority of the Series A Preferred Units in relation to any other class of Partnership Interests would require approval pursuant to the foregoing sentence; provided that (A) for so long as (y) each Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser (together with such Purchaser’s then-Affiliates) continues to be the Record Holder or beneficial owner of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, and (z) a Series A Purchaser Change of Control has not occurred with respect to any Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser, any amendments that require approval under this sentence must be approved by Series A Preferred Unitholders holding at least sixty-six and two thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units; and (B) from and after such time as (y) any Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser (together with such Purchaser’s then-Affiliates) ceases to be the Record Holder or beneficial owner of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, or (z) a Series A Purchaser Change of Control occurs with respect to any Series A Purchase Agreement Purchaser, any amendments that require approval under this sentence must be approved by holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Unitholders (the vote required by

clause (A) or (B), as applicable, of the foregoing proviso, the “Series A Required Voting Percentage”). Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the foregoing sentence, any amendment shall be deemed to have such a material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of the Series A Preferred Units if such amendment would:

(i) Reduce the Series A Distribution Amount, change the form of payment of distributions on the Series A Preferred Units, defer the date from which distributions on the Series A Preferred Units will accrue, cancel any accrued Series A Unpaid Distributions, or change the seniority rights of the Series A Preferred Unitholders as to the payment of distributions in relation to the holders of any other class or series of Partnership Interests;

(ii) Reduce the amount payable or change the form of payment to the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, or change the seniority of the liquidation preferences of the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units in relation to the rights upon liquidation of the holders of any other class or series of Partnership Interests;

(iii) Make the Series A Preferred Units redeemable or convertible at the option of the Partnership other than as set forth herein; or

(iv) Adversely amend the provisions of Section 5.5(c), Section 5.8(b)(iii)(D) or Section 5.8(b)(x).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any amendment to the provisions relating to the IDR Fee contained in the Management Services Agreement that would materially adversely affect the holders of the Common Units shall be approved by holders of a Unit Majority.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, prior to the approval by the Partnership, as a holder of OpCo Common Units, of (i) any amendment of the OpCo Partnership Agreement that requires approval by holders of a “Unit Majority” (as defined therein), such amendment shall also be approved by holders of a Unit Majority hereunder, and (ii) any amendment of the OpCo Partnership Agreement that requires approval by holders of at least ninety percent (90%) of the OpCo Common Units, such amendment shall also be approved by holders of at least ninety percent (90%) of the Outstanding Units hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, except for amendments pursuant to Section 13.1 and except as otherwise provided by Section 14.3(b), no amendments shall become effective without the approval of the holders of at least ninety percent (90%) of the Outstanding Units unless the Partnership obtains an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not affect the limited liability of any Limited Partner under applicable partnership law of the state under whose laws the Partnership is organized.

(g) Except as provided in Section 13.1, this Section 13.3 shall only be amended with the approval of the holders of at least ninety percent (90%) of the Outstanding

Units; provided that clauses (d) and (e)(i) of this Section 13.3 may be amended with the approval of the holders of a Unit Majority.

Section 13.4 Annual and Special Meetings. All acts of Limited Partners to be taken pursuant to this Agreement shall be taken in the manner provided in this Article XIII. Meetings of the Limited Partners for the election of Directors or for any other purpose shall be held at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.

(a) An annual meeting of the Limited Partners for the election of Directors shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.

(i) Limited Partners may call a special meeting of Limited Partners by delivering to the Secretary of the Partnership one or more requests in writing stating that the signing Limited Partners wish to call a special meeting of all Limited Partners and indicating the specific purposes for which the special meeting is to be called; provided, however, that the Limited Partners shall be entitled to call a special meeting only to remove LP Elected Directors for Cause or the General Partner and not to conduct any other business.

A meeting shall be held at a time and place determined by the Board of Directors on a date not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the time notice of the meeting is given as provided in Section 16.1.

(iii) If the notice requirements set forth in this Section 13.4(b) are satisfied by the Limited Partners requesting a special meeting and such Limited Partners’ proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by management of the Partnership to solicit proxies for the applicable special meeting of Limited Partners and such Limited Partners do not appear or send a qualified representative to present such proposal at such meeting, the Partnership need not present such proposal for a vote at such meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Partnership.

(iv) Limited Partners shall not be permitted to vote on matters that would cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and

control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability under the Delaware Act or the law of any other state in which the Partnership is qualified to do business. If any such vote were to take place, it shall be deemed null and void to the extent necessary so as not to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability under the Delaware Act or the law of any other state in which the Partnership is qualified to do business.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.4(b), a Limited Partner shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and all applicable rules and requirements of the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are listed or admitted to trading or, if the Common Units are not so listed or admitted to trading, the quotation system on which the Partnership’s securities are listed or quoted, in each case, with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 13.4(b); provided, however, that any references in this Agreement to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to proposals as to any business to be considered pursuant to this Section 13.4(b). Nothing in this Section 13.4(b) shall be deemed to affect any rights of Limited Partners to request inclusion of proposals in the Partnership’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor provision) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 13.5 Notice of a Meeting. Notice of an annual meeting of Limited Partners called pursuant to Section 13.4(a) shall be given to the Record Holders of all Outstanding Units by mail or other means of written communication in accordance with Section 16.1. Notice of a special meeting called pursuant to Section 13.4(b) shall be given to the Record Holders of the class or classes of Units for which a meeting is proposed in writing by mail or other means of written communication in accordance with Section 16.1.

Section 13.6 Record Date. For purposes of determining the Limited Partners who are Record Holders of the class or classes of Limited Partner Interests entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Limited Partners or to give approvals without a meeting as provided in Section 13.11, the Board of Directors shall set a Record Date, which shall not be less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before (a) the date of the meeting (unless such requirement conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed or admitted to trading or U.S. federal securities laws, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such National Securities Exchange or U.S. federal securities laws shall govern) or (b) in the event that approvals are sought without a meeting, the date by which such Limited Partners are requested in writing by the Board of Directors to give such approvals.

Section 13.7 Postponement and Adjournment. Prior to the date upon which any meeting of Limited Partners is to be held, the Board of Directors may postpone such meeting one or more times for any reason by giving notice to each Limited Partner entitled to vote at the meeting so postponed of the place, date and hour at which such meeting would be held. Such notice shall be given not fewer than two (2) days before the date of such meeting and otherwise in accordance with this Article XIII. When a meeting is postponed, a new Record Date need not be fixed unless the aggregate amount of such postponement shall be for more than forty-five

(45) days after the original meeting date. Any meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned by the Board of Directors (or any authorized committee of the Board of Directors) one or more times for any reason, including the failure of a quorum to be present at the meeting with respect to any proposal or the failure of any proposal to receive sufficient votes for approval. No vote of the Limited Partners shall be required for any adjournment. A meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned by the Board of Directors as to one or more proposals regardless of whether action has been taken on other matters. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new Record Date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall be for more than forty-five (45) days. If the adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this Article XIII. At any adjourned meeting, the Partnership may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 13.8 Waiver of Notice of a Meeting. The transactions of any meeting of Limited Partners, however called and noticed, and whenever held, shall be as valid as if they had occurred at a meeting duly held after call and notice in accordance with Section 13.4 and this Section 13.5, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy. Attendance of a Limited Partner at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the Limited Partner attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to disapprove of any matters submitted for consideration or to object to the failure to submit for consideration any matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if such objection is expressly made at the beginning of the meeting.

Section 13.9 Quorum and Voting.

(a) (i) The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the voting power of the Outstanding Units of the class or classes for which a meeting has been called and which are entitled to vote at such meeting (including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates) shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Limited Partners of such class or classes unless any such action by the Limited Partners requires approval by holders of a different percentage of such Units, in which case the quorum shall be such different percentage. (ii) At any meeting of the Limited Partners duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent a majority of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote at such meeting (on all matters on which the holders of all Units vote together as a single class) or a majority of the Outstanding Units of each class entitled to vote at such meeting (on all matters on which the holders of each class of Units vote separately by class) shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Limited Partners, unless a different percentage or class vote is required with respect to such action under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent at least such different percentage with respect to the Outstanding Units entitled to vote at such meeting (on all matters on which the holders of all Units vote together as a single class) or a majority of the Outstanding Units of each class entitled to vote at such meeting (on all matters on which the holders of each

class of Units vote separately by class) shall be required; provided, in each case, the vote of any such quorum shall be subject to the provisions of Section 13.13. (iii) The Limited Partners present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the exit of enough Limited Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of Outstanding Units or class of Limited Partner Interests specified in this Agreement.

(b) If a quorum exists, a nominee for LP Elected Director shall be elected to the Board of Directors if, subject to Section 13.13, the votes cast for such nominee’s election by Limited Partners present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter exceed the votes cast by such Limited Partners against such nominee’s election; provided, however, that if the number of persons considered by the Limited Partners for election as LP Elected Directors exceeds the total number of LP Elected Directors to be elected, LP Elected Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast; provided, further, that all persons considered for election (other than those recommended for nomination by or at the direction of the Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership, the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof) shall have met all applicable requirements and procedures in being placed in nomination and considered for election, including the requirements set forth in this Agreement and in all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(c) If a quorum exists, an LP Elected Director shall be removed from the Board of Directors if, subject to Section 13.13, the votes cast for such LP Elected Director’s removal by the Limited Partners present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter exceeds the votes cast by such Limited Partners against such LP Elected Director’s removal.

Section 13.10 Conduct of a Meeting. The Board of Directors shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 13.4, the conduct of voting, the validity and effect of any proxies and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting. The Board of Directors shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting. All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Partnership maintained by the Partnership. The Board of Directors may make such other regulations consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote and the submission and revocation of approvals in writing.

Section 13.11 Action Without a Meeting. If authorized by the Board of Directors, any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Limited Partners may be taken without a meeting if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Limited Partners owning not less than the minimum percentage of the Outstanding Units (including Units deemed owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates) that, subject to Section 13.13, would be necessary to

authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Limited Partners were present and voted (unless such provision conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed or admitted to trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such National Securities Exchange shall govern). Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Limited Partners who have not approved in writing. The Board of Directors may specify that any written ballot submitted to Limited Partners for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Partnership within the time period, which shall be not less than twenty (20) days, specified by the Board of Directors. If a ballot returned to the Partnership does not vote all of the Outstanding Units held by such Limited Partners, the Partnership shall be deemed to have failed to receive a ballot for the Outstanding Units that were not voted.

Section 13.12 Right to Vote and Related Matters.

(a) Only those Record Holders of the Outstanding Units on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 13.6 (and also subject to the limitations contained in the definition of “Outstanding”) shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Limited Partners or to act with respect to matters as to which the holders of the Outstanding Units have the right to vote or to act. All references in this Agreement to votes of, or other acts that may be taken by, the Outstanding Units shall be deemed to be references to the votes or acts of the Record Holders of such Outstanding Units.

(b) With respect to Units that are held for a Person’s account by another Person that is the Record Holder (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation, or an agent of any of the foregoing), such Record Holder shall, in exercising the voting rights in respect of such Units on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise or as otherwise permitted by the applicable rules and requirements of the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are listed or admitted to trading, vote such Units in favor of, and in accordance with the direction of, the Person who is the beneficial owner of such Units, and the Partnership shall be entitled to assume such Record Holder is so acting without further inquiry. The provisions of this Section 13.12(b) (as well as all other provisions of this Agreement) are subject to the provisions of Section 4.3.

Section 13.13 Reductions in Voting Power

(a) Five Percent (5%) Voting Limitation. If any Person acquires or holds Limited Partner Interests in an amount that would result in such Person’s owning, controlling or holding, together with the members of any related Group, the power to vote five percent (5%) or more of the then Outstanding Limited Partner Interests entitled to vote in the election or removal of LP Elected Directors, then such Person, and any related Group (with the voting limitation set forth herein being applied to each member pro rata within such Group), shall be entitled to vote not more than five percent (5%) of such Outstanding Limited Partner Interests in the election or removal of LP Elected Directors, and the amount of Limited Partner Interests held by such Person and by any related Group in excess of five percent (5%) in voting power shall not be entitled to vote in the election or removal of LP Elected Directors.

(b) Other Voting Limitations. If any Person acquires or holds Limited Partner Interests in an amount that would result in such Person’s owning, controlling or holding, together with the members of any related Group, the power to vote ten percent (10%) or more of the Limited Partner Interests present and actually voted on any matter (provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 13.13(b) shall be given effect after giving effect to Section 13.13(a)), then the voting power of such Person and any related Group (with the voting limitation set forth herein being applied to each member pro rata within such Group) shall be reduced as follows:

(i) If such Person is not the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, then such Person, together with any related Group, shall be entitled to vote not more than 9.99% of such Limited Partner Interests present and actually voted on any matter (including the election or removal of LP Elected Directors), and the amount of Limited Partner Interests held by such Person and by any related Group equaling ten percent (10%) or greater in voting power shall be voted proportionally with all other votes of holders of Limited Partner Interests on such matter.

(ii) If such Person is the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, then such Person, together with any related Group, shall be entitled to vote not more than 9.99% of such Limited Partner Interests present and actually voted in the election or removal of LP Elected Directors, and the amount of Limited Partner Interests held by such Person and by any related Group equaling ten percent (10%) or greater in voting power shall be voted proportionally in the election or removal of LP Elected Directors with all other votes of holders of Limited Partner Interests in the election or removal of LP Elected Directors; provided that this Section 13.13(b)(ii) shall not apply to voting rights on any matter other than the election or removal of LP Elected Directors.

(c) The incremental voting power voted proportionally pursuant to Section 13.13(b) shall be rounded to the nearest whole Unit (with fractional Units equal to or greater than 0.5 Unit being rounded to the next higher Unit).

Section 13.14 Special Voting Units. Each of the Partners and each other Person who may acquire Partnership Interests agrees that the holders of Special Voting Units shall be entitled to receive notice of, be included in any requisite quora for and participate in any and all approvals, votes or other actions of the Partners on a pro rata basis as, and treating such Persons for all purposes as if they are, Limited Partners holding Common Units, including any and all notices, quora, approvals, votes and other actions that may be taken pursuant to the requirements of the Delaware Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation, except as otherwise explicitly provided hereunder. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all Special Voting Units voting separately as a class shall be required to alter, amend or repeal this Section 13.14 or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith.

(a) For purposes of this Article XV, an Eligible Limited Partner shall be deemed to “own” only those Outstanding Common Units (including Series A Conversion Units and Common Units that have been issued upon exchange or conversion of Special Voting Units or upon conversion of Non-Voting Common Units) as to which the Limited Partner possesses both (i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the Common Units and (ii) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such Common Units; provided that the number of Common Units calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) shall not include any Common Units (A) sold by such Limited Partner or any of its Affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (B) borrowed by such Limited Partner or any of its Affiliates for any purposes or purchased by such Limited Partner or any of its Affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell or (C) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale or other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such Limited Partner or any of its Affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with Common Units or with cash based on the notional amount or value of Common Units, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (1) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such Limited Partner’s or any of its Affiliate’s full right to vote or direct the voting of any such Common Units or (2) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic interest in such Common Units by such Limited Partner or Affiliate.

(b) A Limited Partner shall “own” Units held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the Limited Partner retains the right to instruct how the Units are voted on all matters, including with respect to the election of LP Elected Directors and possesses the full economic interest in the Units. A person’s ownership of Units shall be deemed to

102

continue during any period in which (i) the person has loaned such Units, provided that the person has the power to recall such loaned Units on five (5) business days’ notice or (ii) the person has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the person. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. Whether Outstanding Units are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or an officer of the Partnership designated pursuant to Section 15.11, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Partnership and its Limited Partners, any Limited Partner Nominee and any other person.

Section 15.5 Ownership Amount and Period of Ownership.

(a) An Eligible Limited Partner must have owned (as ownership is defined above in Section 15.4) the Required Units continuously for the holding period set forth below that is opposite the year in which the applicable annual meeting is to be held, with the final date of such holding period ending as of a date that is at least seven (7) days prior to both (i) the date of the Nomination Notice and (ii) the Record Date for determining Limited Partners entitled to vote with respect to the election of LP Elected Directors at the annual meeting:

104

Partners that together is an Eligible Limited Partner, the designation by all Group members of one Group member that is authorized to act on behalf of all such members with respect to the nomination and matters related thereto, including any withdrawal of the nomination; and

Section 15.6 Eligible Limited Partner’s Statement; Partnership’s Statement. The Eligible Limited Partner may provide to the Secretary of the Partnership, at the time the information required by this Article XV is provided, a Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XV, the Partnership may omit from its proxy materials any information or Statement (or portion thereof) that it, in good faith, believes would violate any applicable law or regulation or be materially misleading or inappropriate. The Partnership may solicit against, and include in the Partnership’s proxy statement or any other solicitation materials its own statement opposing or otherwise relating to, any Limited Partner Nominee.

Section 15.7 Nominee Information and Representations. Within the time period specified in this Article XV for delivering the Nomination Notice, a Limited Partner Nominee must deliver to the Secretary of the Partnership, in a form reasonably to be specified by the Secretary of the Partnership, a written representation and agreement that the Limited Partner Nominee (a) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Partnership, will vote or otherwise act on any matter that has not been disclosed to the Partnership or any commitment that could interfere with the nominee’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Partnership, with such person’s duties under applicable law and this Agreement, (b) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Partnership with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as an LP Elected Director that has not been disclosed to the Partnership, (c) will act as a representative of all of the Limited Partners while serving as an LP Elected Director, (d) will provide statements and other information in all communications with and by the Partnership that are or will be true and correct in all material respects and shall not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the

105

circumstances under which they are made, not misleading and (e) will comply with all the Partnership’s governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines, and any other Partnership policies and guidelines applicable to Directors, as well as any applicable law, rule or regulation or listing standards of the National Securities Exchange upon which the Common Units are listed. At the request of the Partnership, the Limited Partner Nominee must submit all completed and signed questionnaires required of the Partnership’s Directors and officers. The Partnership may request such additional information as necessary to permit the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof or an officer of the Partnership designated pursuant to Section 15.11, to determine if each Limited Partner Nominee is independent under the Applicable Independence Standards and otherwise meets the criteria for non-employee directors, as set forth in any applicable policies of the Partnership, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Partnership and its Limited Partners, any Limited Partner Nominee and any other person. If the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or an officer of the Partnership designated pursuant to Section 15.11 determines that the Limited Partner Nominee is not independent under the Applicable Independence Standards or does not meet the criteria for non-employee directors, as set forth in the applicable policies of the Partnership, the Limited Partner Nominee will not be eligible for inclusion in the Partnership’s proxy materials. In the event that any information or communication provided by an Eligible Limited Partner or a Limited Partner Nominee ceases to be true and correct in all material respects or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, each Eligible Limited Partner or Limited Partner Nominee, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Secretary of the Partnership of all defects in such previously provided information and of the information that is required to correct all such defects.

Section 15.8 Disqualification of Limited Partner Nominees. The Partnership shall not be required to include, pursuant to this Article XV, any Limited Partner Nominee in its proxy materials for any annual meeting (a) if the Eligible Limited Partner who has nominated such Limited Partner Nominee has engaged in or is currently engaged in, or has been or is a “participant” in another person’s, “solicitation” within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule or regulation), in support of the election of any individual as a director at the meeting other than its Limited Partner Nominee(s) or a nominee of the Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership or the Board of Directors, (b) who is not independent under the Applicable Independence Standards, as determined by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or an officer of the Partnership designated pursuant to Section 15.11, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the General Partner, the Partnership, the Limited Partners, any Limited Partner Nominee and any other person, (c) whose election as a member of the Board of Directors would cause the Partnership to be in violation of this Agreement, the listing standards of the National Securities Exchange upon which the Common Units are listed, or any applicable law, rule or regulation, (d) who is an employee or director of a competitor or significant (or potentially significant) customer, supplier, contractor, counselor or consultant, (e) who is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) or has been convicted in such a criminal proceeding within the past ten (10) years, (f) who is subject to any order, judgment, decree or other disqualification of the type specified in Rule 506(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule or regulation), (g) if such Limited Partner Nominee or the applicable Eligible Limited Partner shall have provided information to the Partnership with respect to such

106

nomination that was untrue in any material respect or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statement made, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading, as determined by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or an officer of the Partnership designated pursuant to Section 15.11, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Partnership and its Partners, any Limited Partner Nominee and any other person, (h) who is a director or officer of any public utility company or other entity regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or the Public Utilities Commission of Texas, (i) whose then-current business or personal interests place the Limited Partner Nominee in a conflict of interest with the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (j) if the Eligible Limited Partner or applicable Limited Partner Nominee otherwise contravenes any of the agreements or representations made by such Eligible Limited Partner or Limited Partner Nominee or otherwise fails to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Article XV.

Section 15.9 Effect of Breach of Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article XV, the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, an officer of the Partnership designated pursuant Section 15.11 or the person presiding at the meeting shall declare a nomination by an Eligible Limited Partner to be invalid, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the General Partner, the Partnership, the Limited Partners, any Limited Partner Nominee and any other person, and such nomination shall be disregarded notwithstanding that proxies may have been received by the Partnership that cast votes “for” the election of such Eligible Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Nominee(s), if (a) the Limited Partner Nominee(s) or the applicable Eligible Limited Partner shall have breached his or its obligations, agreements or representations contemplated under this Article XV, as determined by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, an officer of the Partnership designated pursuant to Section 15.11 or the person presiding at the annual meeting of Limited Partners or (b) the Eligible Limited Partner (or a qualified representative thereof) does not appear at the annual meeting of Limited Partners to present any nomination pursuant to this Article XV.

Section 15.10 Obligation to File Soliciting and Communication Materials. The Eligible Limited Partner (including any person who owns Common Units that constitute part of the Eligible Limited Partner’s ownership for purposes of satisfying Section 15.5) shall file with the Commission any solicitation materials or other communication with the Partnership’s Limited Partners relating to the annual meeting at which the Limited Partner Nominee will be nominated, regardless of whether (a) any filing of such materials or other communication is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act (or any successor regulation) or (b) any exemption from filing is available for such materials or other communication under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act (or any such successor rule or regulation).

Section 15.11 Authority for Implementation. Any determination to be made with respect to the satisfaction of any term or condition of this Article XV, or the resolution of any dispute with respect thereto, shall be made by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or any officer designated by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, and any such determination or resolution shall be final and binding on the Partnership, any Eligible Limited Partner, any Limited Partner Nominee and any other Person so long as made in good faith (without any further requirements). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Board of Directors determines that the effect of the requirements set forth in Article XV with respect to a particular annual meeting of Limited Partners, or any other aspect of an annual meeting of Limited

107

Partners, is such that it is reasonably likely that no two holders of Common Units acting individually (and no two separate Groups of such holders) could each qualify as an Eligible Limited Partner, then the Board of Directors shall waive or modify such requirements with respect to such annual meeting of Limited Partners to make it reasonably likely, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, that at least two holders of Common Units (or at least two Groups of such holders) could each qualify as an Eligible Limited Partner for the relevant annual meeting of Limited Partners. The person presiding at the annual meeting of Limited Partners, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall have the power and duty to determine whether a Limited Partner Nominee has been nominated in accordance with the provisions of this Article XV and, if not so nominated, shall direct and declare at the meeting that such Limited Partner Nominee shall not be considered for election as an LP Elected Director at the meeting.

ARTICLE XVI

Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice, payment or report to be given or made to a Partner hereunder shall be deemed conclusively to have been given or made, and the obligation to give such notice or report or to make such payment shall be deemed conclusively to have been fully satisfied, upon sending of such notice, payment or report to the Record Holder of such Partnership Interests at his address as shown in the Register, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such Partnership Interests by reason of any assignment or otherwise. An affidavit or certificate of making of any notice, payment or report in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.1 executed by the Partnership, the Transfer Agent or the mailing organization shall be prima facie evidence of the giving or making of such notice, payment or report. If any notice, payment or report addressed to a Record Holder at the address of such Record Holder appearing in the Register is returned by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver it, such notice, payment or report and any subsequent notices, payments and reports shall be deemed to have been duly given or made without further mailing (until such time as such Record Holder or another Person notifies the Transfer Agent or the Partnership of a change in his address) if they are available for the Partner at the principal office of the Partnership for a period of one year from the date of the giving or making of such notice, payment or report to the other Partners. Any notice to the Partnership shall be deemed given if received by the Partnership at the principal office of the Partnership designated pursuant to Section 2.3; provided that when a different notice address is provided herein, such notice shall be deemed given if received at such other address. The Partnership may rely and shall be protected in relying on any notice or other document from a Partner or other Person if believed by it to be genuine.

Section 16.5 Waiver.

Section 16.6 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Partner agrees that (a) any Indemnitee shall be entitled to assert rights and remedies hereunder as a third-party beneficiary hereto with respect to those provisions of this Agreement affording a right, benefit or privilege to such Indemnitee and (b) any Unrestricted Person shall be entitled to assert rights and remedies hereunder as a third-party beneficiary hereto with respect to those provisions of this Agreement affording a right, benefit or privilege to such Unrestricted Person.

ARTICLE II

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.01 Shelf Registration.

(a) Shelf Registration Statements

(i) The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) prepare and file an initial Registration Statement to permit the public resale of the Registrable Securities on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, or such other rule as is then applicable, at then prevailing prices and (B) cause such initial Registration Statement to become effective no later than the Target Effective Date.

(ii) The Partnership will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(a) to be continuously effective under the Securities Act, with respect to any Holder, until the earliest to occur of the following: (A) the date on which there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding and (B) the second anniversary of the Issuance Date (the “Effectiveness Period”). A Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(a) shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Partnership; provided that, if the Partnership is then eligible, it shall file such Registration Statement on Form S-3. A Registration Statement when declared effective (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) shall comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (and, in the case of any prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made). As soon as practicable following the date that a Registration Statement becomes effective, but in any event within three (3) Business Days of such date, the Partnership shall provide the Holders with written notice of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

(b) Delay Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Partnership may, upon written notice to any Selling Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement, suspend such Selling Holder’s use of any prospectus that is a part of such Registration Statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall suspend sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement) if (i) the Partnership is pursuing an acquisition, merger, reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction and the Partnership determines in good faith that the Partnership’s ability to pursue or consummate such a transaction would be materially and adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in such Registration Statement, (ii) the Partnership determines it must amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (iii) the Partnership determines that it would be required to make disclosure of material information in the Registration Statement that the Partnership has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, or (iv) the Partnership has experienced some other material non-public event, the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Partnership, would materially and adversely affect the Partnership; provided, however, that in no event shall the Selling Holders be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of sixty (60) days in any 180-day period or ninety (90) days in any 365-day period. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Partnership shall provide prompt notice to the Selling Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement, shall promptly terminate any suspension of the use of prospectus that is a part of such Registration Statement it has put into effect, and shall take such other actions necessary or appropriate to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement.

Section 2.02 Piggyback Registration.

(a) Participation. If at any time (i) on or after the 1^st of January following the Issuance Date and (ii) except in connection with the exercise of a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.03, prior to the 31^st of December following the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Partnership proposes to file a Registration Statement related to an Underwritten Offering, including pursuant to Section 2.03, then the Partnership shall give not less than four (4) Business Days’ notice (including notification by electronic mail) (the “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposed Underwritten Offering to GEPIF, and such Piggyback Notice shall offer GEPIF (on behalf of itself and as representative of each other Holder) the opportunity to include in such Underwritten Offering up to one-third (including the securities being registered pursuant to Section 2.03) of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that would be outstanding as of the Issuance Date if all of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units issued on the Issuance Date were converted on such Issuance Date into Common Units (or such larger number of Registrable Securities to the extent consented to by the Partnership in its sole and absolute discretion) (the “Included Registrable Securities”), as GEPIF may request in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”); provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to offer such opportunity (A) if GEPIF and the other Holders do not request registration of a minimum of $50 million of Registrable Securities in the aggregate (determined by multiplying the number of Registrable Securities owned by the Average VWAP for the ten

(10) Trading Days preceding the date of such notice) or (B) if the Partnership has been advised by the Managing Underwriter that the inclusion of Registrable Securities for sale for the benefit of the Class B Purchasers and the other Holders will have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Units in such Underwritten Offering, in which case the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of the Class B Purchasers and the other Holders shall be determined based on the provisions of Section 2.02(b). Each Piggyback Notice shall be provided to GEPIF on a Business Day pursuant to Section 3.01, and receipt of such notice shall be confirmed and kept confidential by the Class B Purchasers and the other Holders (and neither the Class B Purchasers nor any other Holder receiving such notice shall purchase or sell Common Units) (provided that any Holder may provide such notice to its personnel, advisors and other representatives on a confidential basis) until either (x) such proposed Underwritten Offering has been publicly announced by the Partnership or (y) GEPIF has received notice from the Partnership that such proposed Underwritten Offering has been abandoned, which the Partnership shall provide to GEPIF reasonably promptly after the final decision to abandon a proposed Underwritten Offering has been made. GEPIF will have two (2) Business Days (or one (1) Business Day in connection with any overnight or bought Underwritten Offering) after such Piggyback Notice has been delivered to request in writing (on behalf of itself and/or the other Holders) that the Partnership include Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering. If no request for inclusion from GEPIF is received by the Partnership within the specified time, neither GEPIF nor any other Holder shall have any further right to participate in such Underwritten Offering. If, at any time after giving written notice of the Partnership’s intention to undertake an Underwritten Offering and prior to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering, such Underwritten Offering is terminated or delayed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Partnership may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to GEPIF (on behalf of itself and the other Holders), and (1) in the case of a termination of such Underwritten Offering, shall be relieved of its obligation to sell any Included Registrable Securities in connection with such terminated Underwritten Offering, and (2) in the case of a determination to delay such Underwritten Offering, shall be permitted to delay offering any Included Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in the Underwritten Offering. GEPIF (on behalf of itself or any Selling Holder) shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of such Registrable Securities, in whole or in part (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement), in such Underwritten Offering by giving written notice to the Partnership of such withdrawal at least two (2) Business Days prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. GEPIF may deliver written notice (a “Piggyback Opt-Out Notice”) to the Partnership requesting that GEPIF not receive notice from the Partnership of any proposed Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that GEPIF may later revoke any such Piggyback Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of a Piggyback Opt-Out Notice (unless subsequently revoked), the Partnership shall not be required to deliver any notice to GEPIF pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) and GEPIF and the other Holders shall no longer be entitled to participate in Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), unless such Piggyback Opt-Out Notice is subsequently revoked by GEPIF. GEPIF shall have the right (on behalf of itself and the other Holders) to exercise the piggyback registration rights set forth in this Section 2.02 up to three (3) times, but not more frequently than once in any twelve-month period; provided, however, if the number of Included Registrable Securities included in the Underwritten Offering is reduced by fifty percent (50%) or more, GEPIF (on behalf of itself and the other Holders) will have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Offering by delivering written notice to the Partnership at least two (2) Business

Days prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering, and such exercise of piggyback registration rights will not decrease the number of piggyback registrations that GEPIF shall have the right to request under this Section 2.02(a).

(b) Priority of Piggyback Registration. If the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering advise the Partnership that the total amount of Registrable Securities that Holders intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Units offered or the market for the Common Units, then the Partnership shall include the number of Registrable Securities that such Managing Underwriter or Underwriters advise the Partnership can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) first, to the Common Units proposed to be included in such Underwritten Offering prior to the delivery by the Partnership of the Piggyback Notice hereunder, unless such Underwritten Offering is undertaken pursuant to the exercise of a Holder’s rights under Section 2.03 below, in which case the allocation between all participating Holders shall be determined as if all such Holders were exercising piggyback registration rights in the following clause, and (ii) second, pro rata among the Persons who are exercising piggyback registration rights related to such Underwritten Offering (based, for each such Holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (x) the number of Common Units proposed to be sold by such Holder in such Underwritten Offering by (y) the aggregate number of Common Units proposed to be sold by all Holders and by any other Persons exercising pari passu piggyback registration rights in such Underwritten Offering).

Section 2.03 Underwritten Offerings.

(a) Demand Rights. At any time on or after January 1, 2025, and prior to December 31, 2029, GEPIF (on behalf of itself and any other Holders) shall have the right to dispose of Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement pursuant to an Underwritten Offering if GEPIF reasonably expects (for itself or any other Holders) (i) gross proceeds of at least $100 million from such Underwritten Offering or (ii) gross proceeds of at least $50 million from such Underwritten Offering and such Registrable Securities represent one hundred percent (100%) of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities held by GEPIF and any applicable Selling Holder. GEPIF (on behalf of itself and any other Holders) shall exercise any such demand registration right by delivering a written notice to the Partnership specifying that (x) it is exercising a demand registration right, (y) the name of each Selling Holder, and (z) the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in the Underwritten Offering. Promptly upon receipt of the written notice, the Partnership shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form that is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership with the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the Partnership, which shall include, among other provisions, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 2.08, and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, GEPIF shall have the right (on behalf of itself and the other Holders) to exercise the demand registration rights set forth in this Section 2.03 not more than three (3) times (and not more frequently than once in any twelve-month period), and only in the event that either the Partnership has not conducted an Underwritten Offering of Common Units in the preceding twelve-month period in which GEPIF (on behalf of itself or other Holders) was eligible to

exercise piggyback registration rights pursuant to Section 2.02 or, if the Partnership has conducted such an Underwritten Offering, GEPIF (on behalf of itself or other Holders) has been reduced in the amount of Registerable Securities included in such offering pursuant to Section 2.02(b) by twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Included Registrable Securities; provided, further, the aggregate amount of Registerable Securities that may be included in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a demand registration right exercised pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall not exceed one-third of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that would be outstanding as of the Issuance Date if all of the Non-Voting NEP Common Units issued on the Issuance Date were converted on such Issuance Date into Common Units (or such larger number of Registrable Securities to the extent consented to by the Partnership in its sole and absolute discretion); provided, further, that if the Partnership or any of its Affiliates (A) is conducting or actively pursuing a merger, acquisition or disposition transaction with a third party, (B) is conducting or actively pursuing a securities offering of the Partnership’s Common Units with anticipated gross offering proceeds of at least $100 million (other than in connection with any at-the-market offering or similar continuous offering program), or (C) is in possession of material nonpublic information affecting the Common Units that the Partnership has determined, in the best interests of the Partnership, should not be publicly disclosed at that time, then the Partnership may suspend GEPIF’s right to require the Partnership to conduct an Underwritten Offering on GEPIF’s or such Selling Holder’s behalf pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided, however, that the Partnership may only suspend such demand registration right to require the Partnership to conduct an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.03 once in any six-month period and in no event for a period that exceeds an aggregate of ninety (90) days in any 180-day period or one hundred twenty (120) days in any 365-day period.

(b) General Procedures. In connection with any Underwritten Offering contemplated by Section 2.02 or Section 2.03(a), the underwriting agreement into which each Selling Holder and the Partnership shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities (subject to Section 2.08) and other rights and obligations as are customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership. No Selling Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Partnership or the Underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Selling Holder’s authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell Registerable Securities pursuant thereto, its ownership of the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation regarding matters required by law. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the terms of each Underwritten Offering shall be approved or disapproved in the sole reasonable discretion of the Partnership; provided, however, in an Underwritten Offering undertaken pursuant to Section 2.03, underwriting discounts and commissions shall be approved by GEPIF; provided, further, the Partnership and GEPIF shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate relating to the terms of an Underwritten Offering, including indicative pricing ranges, at all times following the time a notice of exercise a demand registration right is given pursuant to Section 2.03. If any Selling Holder disapproves of the terms of an Underwritten Offering contemplated by this Section 2.03, GEPIF may (on behalf of such Selling Holder) withdraw such Selling Holder’s Registerable Securities from such Underwritten Offering by written notice to the Partnership and the Managing Underwriter; provided, however, that, to be effective, such withdrawal must be made at least two (2) Business Days prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering; provided, further, that in the event the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any proposed

Underwritten Offering advise the Partnership that the total amount of Common Units that Holders intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities offered or the market for the Common Units, and the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.03(a) is reduced by fifty percent (50%) or more, GEPIF (on behalf of itself and the other Holders) will have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Offering by delivering written notice to the Partnership at least two (2) Business Days prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering, in which case the Partnership will have no obligation to proceed with such Underwritten Offering and such Underwritten Offering, whether or not completed, will not decrease the number of Underwritten Offerings that GEPIF shall have the right to request under this Section 2.03. Notwithstanding the ability of a Holder to withdraw Registrable Securities from an Underwritten Offering, the exercise of piggyback registration rights or demand registration rights under this Agreement shall be irrevocable, and, except as otherwise specifically provided above, shall decrease the number of Underwritten Offerings that GEPIF (on behalf of itself and the other Holders) shall have the right to request under Section 2.02 and Section 2.03.

Section 2.04 Further Obligations. In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Partnership will:

(a) promptly prepare and file with the Commission the Registrations Statements and such amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period of the Underwritten Offering and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement;

(b) if a prospectus supplement will be used in connection with the marketing of an Underwritten Offering under a Registration Statement and the Managing Underwriter at any time shall notify the Partnership in writing that, in the sole judgment of such Managing Underwriter, inclusion of detailed information to be used in such prospectus supplement is of material importance to the success of such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include such information in such prospectus supplement;

(c) furnish to GEPIF (on behalf of itself and each Selling Holder) (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the Commission), and provide GEPIF the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to GEPIF and such Selling Holder and the plan of distribution that is contained therein and, to the extent timely received, make the corrections reasonably requested with respect to such information prior to filing such Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus included therein or any supplement or amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of such Registration Statement or such other

registration statement and the prospectus included therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as such Selling Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the resale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or other registration statement;

(d) if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the Managing Underwriter, shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be required to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

(e) promptly notify GEPIF (on behalf of itself and each Selling Holder), at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered by any such Selling Holder under the Securities Act, of (i) the filing of a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and (ii) the receipt of any written comments from the Commission with respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto;

(f) promptly notify GEPIF (on behalf of itself and each Selling Holder), at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered by any such Selling Holder under the Securities Act, of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained in a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made); (ii) the issuance or express threat of issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) the receipt by the Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision of such notice, the Partnership agrees to, as promptly as practicable, amend or supplement the prospectus or prospectus supplement or take other appropriate action so that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and to take such other action as is reasonably necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof or proceedings related thereto;

(g) upon request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to GEPIF (on behalf of itself and each Selling Holder) copies of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering of Registrable Securities;

(h) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, furnish, or use its reasonable efforts to cause to be furnished, upon request, (i) an opinion of counsel for the Partnership addressed to the Underwriters, dated the date of the closing under the applicable underwriting agreement and (ii) a “comfort letter” addressed to the Underwriters, dated the pricing date of such Underwritten Offering and a letter of like kind dated the date of the closing under the applicable underwriting agreement, in each case, signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Partnership’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference into the applicable registration statement, and each of the opinion and the “comfort letter” shall be in customary form and covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement) as have been customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to the Underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership and such other matters as such Underwriters may reasonably request;

(i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission;

(j) make available to the appropriate representatives of the Managing Underwriter during normal business hours access to such information and Partnership personnel as is reasonable and customary to enable such parties to establish a due diligence defense under the Securities Act; provided, however, that the Partnership need not disclose any non-public information to any such representative unless and until such representative has entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Partnership;

(k) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Partnership are then listed;

(l) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Partnership to enable the Selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(m) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement not later than the Effective Date of such Registration Statement;

(n) enter into customary agreements and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by GEPIF (on behalf of itself and each Selling Holder) or the Underwriters, if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities (including

making appropriate representatives of the Partnership available to participate in customary marketing activities); provided, however, that representatives of the Partnership shall not be required to dedicate an unreasonably burdensome amount of time in connection with any roadshow and related marketing activities for any Underwritten Offering which, in any event, shall not be more than the amount of time customarily dedicated in similar Underwritten Offerings undertaken by the Partnership and its Affiliates;

(o) if reasonably requested by GEPIF (on behalf of itself and any Selling Holder), (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as GEPIF reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(p) if reasonably required by the Partnership’s transfer agent, the Partnership shall promptly deliver any authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to transfer Registrable Securities without legend upon sale by the Holder of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement; and

(q) if any Holder could reasonably be deemed to be an “underwriter,” as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act (a “Holder Underwriter”), in connection with a Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereof (a “Holder Underwriter Registration Statement”), then the Partnership will reasonably cooperate with GEPIF (on behalf of itself and such Holder Underwriter) in allowing GEPIF (on behalf of itself and such Holder Underwriter) to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence” with respect to the Partnership and satisfy its obligations in respect thereof; provided, however, that the Partnership need not disclose any non-public information to any representative of GEPIF unless and until GEPIF and its representatives have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Partnership. In addition, at the request of GEPIF (on behalf of itself and such Holder Underwriter), the Partnership will furnish to GEPIF, on the date of the effectiveness of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as GEPIF may reasonably request (provided that such request shall not be more frequently than on an annual basis), (i) a “comfort letter”, dated such date, from the Partnership’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as has been customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership, (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Partnership for purposes of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as has been customarily given in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership, accompanied by standard “10b-5” negative assurance for such offerings and (iii) a standard officer’s certificate from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer, or other Persons serving such functions, as has been customarily given by such officers in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership. The Partnership will also use its reasonable efforts to provide legal counsel to GEPIF with an opportunity to review and comment upon any such Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, and any amendments and supplements thereto, prior to its filing with the Commission.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.04, the Partnership will not name a Holder as an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) in any Registration Statement or Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, as applicable, without such Holder’s consent. If the staff of the Commission requires the Partnership to name any Holder as an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act), and such Holder does not consent thereto, then such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall not be included on the applicable Registration Statement, and the Partnership shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Holder, unless GEPIF (on behalf of itself and each Selling Holder) has not had an opportunity to conduct customary underwriter’s due diligence as set forth in Section 2.04(q) with respect to the Partnership at the time such Holder’s consent is sought.

Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Partnership or from GEPIF of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.04(f), shall forthwith discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.04(f) or until it is advised in writing by the Partnership that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Partnership, such Selling Holder will, or will request that the Managing Underwriter or Managing Underwriters, if any, deliver to the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) all copies in its or their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

Section 2.05 Cooperation by Holders. The Partnership shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.03(a) if GEPIF or such Holder has failed to timely furnish such information that the Partnership determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for any registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act.

Section 2.06 Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each Holder of Registrable Securities who is participating in an Underwritten Offering and is included in a Registration Statement agrees to enter into a customary letter agreement (each, a “Lockup”) with underwriters providing that such Holder will not effect any public sale or distribution of a Common Unit during the forty-five (45) calendar day period beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the Commission with respect to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction imposed by the Underwriters on the Partnership or the officers, directors or any other Affiliate of the Partnership on whom a restriction is imposed, (ii) the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.06 shall not apply to any Registrable Securities that are included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder and (iii) the Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each Lockup shall include customary carve-outs, including carve-outs for the pledge, hypothecation or other granting of a security interest in Common Units or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Units as collateral or security for any loan, advance

or extension of credit and any transfer upon foreclosure upon such Common Units or such securities.

Section 2.07 Expenses.

(a) Certain Definitions. “Registration Expenses” shall not include Selling Expenses but otherwise means all expenses incident to the Partnership’s performance under or compliance with this Agreement to effect a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 2.02, or an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.03, and the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including all registration, filing, securities exchange listing and National Securities Exchange fees, all registration, filing, qualification and other fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, fees of transfer agents and registrars, all word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, and the fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Partnership, including the expenses of any special audits or “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance. “Selling Expenses” means all underwriting fees, discounts and selling commissions and transfer taxes allocable to the sale of the Registrable Securities, plus any costs or expenses related to any roadshows conducted in connection with the marketing of any Underwritten Offering.

(b) Expenses. The Partnership will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses, as determined in good faith, in connection with a Piggyback Registration or an Underwritten Offering, whether or not any sale is made pursuant to such Piggyback Registration or Underwritten Offering. Each Selling Holder shall pay its pro rata share of all Selling Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. Each Class B Purchaser shall reimburse the Partnership for its pro rata share of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(a). In addition, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.08, the Partnership shall not be responsible for professional fees (including legal fees) incurred by the Class B Purchasers or any other Holders in connection with the exercise of the Class B Purchasers’ or such Holders’ rights hereunder.

Section 2.08 Indemnification.

(a) By the Partnership. In the event of a Registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Partnership will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder thereunder, its directors, officers, managers, partners, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, managers, partners, employees or agents (collectively, the “Selling Holder Indemnified Persons”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (in the case of any prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which such statement is made) contained in (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes documents incorporated by

reference in) the applicable Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or any free writing prospectus relating thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or resolving any such Loss or actions or proceedings; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished to it by GEPIF or such Selling Holder Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the applicable Registration Statement or other registration statement, or prospectus supplement, as applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.

(b) By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder severally and not jointly (other than the Selling Holders that are Class B Purchasers, whose obligations will be joint and several) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the General Partner and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, who, directly or indirectly, controls the Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any free writing prospectus relating thereto; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder (other than the Selling Holders that are Class B Purchasers, whose obligations will be joint and several) shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holders from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification.

(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.08(c), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure. In any action brought against any indemnified party, it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.08 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected;

provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnifying party shall settle any action brought against any indemnified party with respect to which such indemnified party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnified party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, includes a complete and unconditional release from liability of, and does not contain any admission of wrongdoing by, the indemnified party.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.08 is held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in respect of any Losses, then each such indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder (other than the Selling Holders that are Class B Purchasers, whose liability shall be joint and several) shall not be greater than the maximum amount for which such Selling Holder could have been liable under the proviso contained in Section 2.08(b). The relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, defending or resolving any Loss that is the subject of this paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.08 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.

Section 2.09 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the resale of the Registrable Securities without registration, the Partnership agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information regarding the Partnership available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in effect), at all times from and after the date hereof;

(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Partnership under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish (i) to the extent accurate, forthwith upon request, a written statement of the Partnership that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in effect) and (ii) unless otherwise available via the Commission’s XXXXX filing system, to such Holder forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Partnership, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

Section 2.10 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Partnership to register Registrable Securities under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by a Holder only if (a) such transferee or assignee is an Affiliate of such Holder, and after such transfer or assignment continues to be an Affiliate of such Holder, or such transferee acquires Registrable Securities from a Class B Purchaser or an Affiliate of a Class B Purchaser upon foreclosure of a pledge thereof under a Permitted Loan Financing (as that term is defined in the Company LLC Agreement), (b) the amount of Registrable Securities transferred or assigned to such transferee or assignee shall represent at least $50 million of Registrable Securities (determined by multiplying the number of Registrable Securities owned by the Average VWAP for the ten (10) Trading Days preceding the date of such transfer or assignment), or such lesser amount if it constitutes the remaining holdings of the Holder and its Affiliates, (c) the Partnership is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (d) with respect to such Holder, a Change of Control (as defined in the Company LLC Agreement) has not occurred and (e) each such transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of such transferring Holder under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GEPIF may not transfer any of its rights to give or receive notices, including in respect of the exercise of piggyback or demand registration rights hereunder, on behalf of itself or any Holder, without the express written consent of the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, GEPIF may continue to give or receive notices and exercise piggyback or demand registration rights hereunder on behalf of other Holders following such time as GEPIF ceases to own any Registrable Securities.

Section 2.11 Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date hereof, the Partnership shall not, without the prior written consent of GEPIF (on behalf of itself and each Selling Holder), enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any securities of the Partnership that would allow such current or future holder to require the Partnership to include securities in any registration statement filed by the Partnership on a basis other than pari passu with, or expressly subordinate to, the piggyback rights of the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “pari passu” shall mean only the right to include Common Units in an Underwritten Offering subject to customary cutback provisions, such as contained Section 2.02(b), and shall not refer to any other term of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument pursuant to which registration rights are granted.

ARTICLE TWO

OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES

2.1 Rights to Develop Subsequent Phases. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, NEP Renewables 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 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

-8-

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 is 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 Class A Cash Adjustment, assuming that the Subsequent Phase is built in accordance with the Phase Design. If a Class A Cash Adjustment is equal to zero, no further action is required under this Section 2.1(c).

(d) [Reserved.]

(e) 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 Class A 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.

(f) 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 applicable the 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).

(g) 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(f), 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.

(h) 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, NextEra will determine (i) the Class A Cash Adjustment, if applicable, and the Subsequent Phase Owner will, within thirty (30) days of such determination, pay any such Class

-9-

A Cash Adjustment, as applicable, due to NEP Renewables. If the applicable Project Model, as modified on a final basis for the final Subsequent Phase Effect results in a Class A Cash Adjustment equal to zero, then, no further action is required under this Section 2.1(h) with respect to the Class A Units, as the case may be.

(i) Upon payment of a Class 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 Class A 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.

(j) If NEP Renewables disputes the calculation of a Class 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 Class A 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 Class A Cash Adjustment was not calculated correctly, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall make a supplemental Class A Cash Adjustment, (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 or its Affiliates shall have acted in bad faith in which case they shall be obligated to pay such costs.

(k) 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as counsel for [Name of Lender] (“Secured Party”) in connection with the sale by it of [____] Common Units (the “Common Units”) of NextEra Energy Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) that were pledged, or received by Secured Party upon foreclosure of the Non-Voting Units of the Partnership pledged, to it by WRP Investco L.P. (“Borrower”) to secure Borrower’s obligations pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement dated as of August 31, 2018 among, inter alia, Borrower and Secured Party.

We have examined a representation letter from Secured Party dated as of [____] (the “Seller’s Letter”) with respect to the sale of the Common Units. In rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have relied exclusively on the Seller’s Letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule I, as to matters of fact, and we have without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine, (iv) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so and (v) all statements in the Seller’s Letter were and are accurate.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Common Units may be sold by Secured Party without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, it being understood that no opinion is expressed as to any subsequent offer or resale of any Common Units.

This opinion is limited to the federal securities laws of the United States of America.

This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the proposed sale of the Common Units by Secured Party. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person or furnished to any other person without our prior written consent (provided that this opinion (x) may be disclosed to persons having regulatory authority over you without our prior consent and (y) may be disclosed in connection with any litigation, arbitration or similar proceeding with respect to the sale of the Common Units by Secured Party).

Very truly yours,

This opinion is limited to the federal securities laws of the United States of America.

Very truly yours,
