(a) Upon the request of the Borrower in connection with any Asset Sale (other than in connection with the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral provided for in Section 3) by the Borrower, to the extent permitted by the terms of all of the Transaction Documents, or in connection with the disposal of any Excluded Collateral, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents (including UCC termination statements) as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence and effectuate the irrevocable and concurrent release of any Lien granted under any of the Collateral Documents in any Collateral being disposed of in connection with such Asset Sale or Excluded Collateral transaction; provided that in each case the Borrower shall have delivered to each Collateral Agent and each Secured Debt Representative, at least 10 Business Days, or such lesser period of time as the Collateral Agent or each Secured Debt Representative may agree, prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying (generally) the relevant Collateral and the provisions under the Transaction Documents which permit such Asset Sale, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that such Asset Sale or Excluded Collateral transaction is in compliance with the terms of all of the Transaction Documents and that the proceeds of such Asset Sale will be applied in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Borrower shall provide the Collateral Agent and each Secured Debt Representative with all information as such Person may reasonably request to verify the accuracy of such certification. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver any such release documents until its (and its legal counsel) expenses have been paid in connection therewith.

(b) Upon the Discharge Date, all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Borrower, and, upon the written request of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, (i) promptly cause to be transferred and delivered, without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any Collateral and any proceeds received in respect thereof, (ii) execute and deliver to the Borrower such UCC termination statements and other documentation as the Borrower may reasonably request to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral and (iii) execute and deliver to the Borrower such other documentation as the Borrower may reasonably request to affect the termination of the Borrower’s and the Pledgor’s obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (other than any such obligation which is intended by its terms to survive the Discharge Date).

5.2 Certain Actions. So long as any Secured Obligations remain outstanding in respect of more than one class of Secured Parties, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Each Secured Debt Representative hereby agrees to give, pursuant to the terms set forth in the Transaction Documents, as the case may be, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Debt Representative prompt written notice of the occurrence of (i) any Event of Default under such Person’s Transaction Documents, as applicable, of which such Person has written notice, and (ii) acceleration of the maturity of any Secured Obligations under any of the Transaction Documents for which it acts as a Secured Debt Representative wherein such Secured Obligations have been declared to be or have automatically become due and payable earlier than the scheduled maturity thereof or termination date thereunder (or similar remedial actions including demands for cash collateral, have been taken) and setting forth the aggregate amount of Secured Obligations that have been so accelerated under such Transaction Documents, in each case, as soon as practicable after the occurrence thereof (and, in any event, within five Business Days after the occurrence thereof); provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not limit or impair the rights of the Secured Parties, or the obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party until such Agent has received a written notice of such Event of Default from any other Agent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or any other Secured Party for whom such Agent is acting as agent or trustee.

(b) The Collateral Agent hereby agrees to give each Secured Debt Representative written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default following receipt thereof of written notice to it and provide a copy of all other information provided to it by the Borrower, any other Loan Party under the Collateral Documents upon request.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby agrees that, at any time and from time to time, at its sole cost and expense, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further agreements, instruments, documents and certificates and take all further action that may be necessary in order to fully effect the purposes of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents (including, to the extent required by any Collateral Document, the delivery of possession of any Collateral represented by certificated securities that hereafter comes into existence or is acquired in the future to the applicable Collateral Agent as pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to enable the Collateral Agents to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof.

(d) As of the date hereof, the Loan Insurer is the Controlling Party under and as defined in the Credit Agreement. In the event the Administrative Agent becomes the Controlling Party under and as defined in the Credit Agreement, it shall deliver a notice thereof to each party hereto and, thereafter, in event the Loan Insurer becomes once again the Controlling Party under and as defined in the Credit Agreement, the Loan Insurer and the Administrative Agent shall jointly deliver a notice thereof to each party hereto.

5.3 Debt Service Reserve; Cash Collateral Accounts; Sponsor Support Agreement.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, Section 4.1), each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Lien on all of the Borrower’s rights, titles and interests in, to and under the Lenders Debt Service Reserve Account (as defined in the Depositary Agreement) shall be solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (solely in its capacity as agent for the Loan Insurer, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent), the Depositary (solely in its capacity as agent for the Loan Insurer, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent), the Loan Insurer and the Lenders and (ii) the Lien on all of the Borrower’s rights, titles and interests in, to and under a Permitted Additional Debt Service Reserve Account (as defined in the Depositary Agreement) shall be solely for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties entitled to receive amounts on deposit therein or credited thereto pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Depositary Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties that (i) each Debt Service Reserve Account and the funds on deposit therein and credited thereto shall be separate from each other Debt Service Reserve Account, (ii) funds on deposit in or credited to a Debt Service Reserve Account shall not be commingled with any funds on deposit in or credited to any other Debt Service Reserve Account and (iii) any Lenders Debt Service Reserve Surety and Tax-Exempt Bond Debt Service Reserve Surety (each as defined in the Depositary Agreement) shall only be credited to, and available to be drawn under, the Debt Service Reserve Account to which it is intended to be credited.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing contained herein shall be construed to impair the rights of any of the Collateral Agent, the LC Issuers, the Loan Insurer or the Administrative Agent to exercise their rights and remedies in respect of the cash collateral accounts established for the purpose of cash collateralizing any Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement or as otherwise contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, and each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Lien and rights of any the Collateral Agent, the LC Issuers, the Loan Insurer or the Administrative Agent in, to and under such cash collateral accounts and all funds on deposit therein or credited thereto shall be solely for the benefit of the specified beneficiaries thereof. In the event any additional cash collateral accounts are established in connection with cash collateralizing Letters of Credit as contemplated by the definition of Discharge Date or as otherwise contemplated by the Secured Funded Debt Documents (provided, that no more than 102.5% of the Available Amount of such Letters of Credit is cash collateralized), such collateral account shall only be for the benefit of the particular Secured Party who issued or has participation interests in or, in the case of the Loan Insurer, who has insured such Letters of Credit being cash collateralized.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Sponsor Support Agreement, and the Sponsor Support Payments thereunder and the credit support provided by the Sponsors (as defined therein) thereunder, shall only be for the benefit of the Loan Insurer, the Administrative Agent and the Construction Lenders.

5.4 Additional Secured Obligations.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in the Transaction Documents, each Loan Party and each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral may secure additional Secured Obligations of the Borrower to Interest Rate Hedge Providers, Secured Fuel Supply Agreement Counterparties and/or New Lenders (and the Agents thereof), as contemplated hereby. Upon execution and delivery to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower of an Accession Agreement by the Secured Debt Representative for such Interest Rate Hedge Providers, Secured Fuel Supply Agreement Counterparties and/or New Lenders (and the Agents thereof) (as applicable), such Persons shall become “Secured Parties” hereunder, as applicable and the Loan Parties’ obligations to such Persons shall become “Secured Obligations”. Each Loan Party and each Secured Party agrees that this Agreement and the applicable Collateral Documents may be amended by the Loan Parties, the Loan Insurer and the Collateral Agent without the consent of any other Secured Party to the extent necessary or desirable to (i) effectuate the intent of this Section 5.4, (ii) cause the Liens granted thereby to be in favor of such Persons (to the extent Liens in favor of such Persons are expressly permitted by the terms of all of the Transaction Documents) and (iii) cause such Persons to be treated in the same manner as the other Secured Parties under this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents (other than as expressly provided hereby).

(b) The Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent and each Secured Debt Representative, at least 10 Business Days, or such lesser period of time as the Collateral Agent and each Secured Debt Representative may agree, prior to the date any such Accession Agreement is entered into and the proposed Secured Obligations referred to therein incurred a certificate by the Borrower stating that the incurrence of the Debt contemplated by such Accession Agreement (or the Secured Fuel Supply Agreement contemplated thereby) is being entered into in compliance with the terms of all of the Transaction Documents (and such certifications shall contain, to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent, the Borrower’s analysis thereof). The Borrower shall provide the Collateral Agent and each Secured Debt Representative with all information as such Person may reasonably request to verify the accuracy of such certificate.

SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1 Finance and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge Date has occurred, if the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Collateral Agent (acting in accordance with a direction of the Required First Lien Secured Parties) shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), on which the Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Borrower or any other Loan Party to obtain financing, whether from the Secured Parties or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Secured Party agrees that it will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing; provided that (a) notwithstanding the foregoing, each Secured Debt Representative and each Secured Party retains the right to object to any ancillary agreements or ancillary arrangements regarding the Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests and (b) the DIP Financing (i) does not compel the Borrower or any Loan Party to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document or (ii) the DIP Financing document or Cash Collateral order does not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order.

6.2 Avoidance Issues. If any Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Borrower or any other Loan Party any amount paid in respect of the Secured Obligations (a “First Lien Recovery”), then such Secured Party shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Secured Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. In such event (a) the Discharge Date shall be deemed not to have occurred and (b) if this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such First Lien Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.

6.3 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any Property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of the Secured Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Secured Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

6.4 Post-Petition Interest. None of the Secured Parties shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Secured Party, for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Secured Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses.

SECTION 7. Collateral Agent.

7.1 Appointment. (a) The Bank of New York is hereby appointed Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Collateral Documents and each of the Secured Parties hereby authorizes The Bank of New York to act as Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Collateral Documents, as applicable. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Secured Parties and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries. Each of the Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on their behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Collateral Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof or contained in an act of the Required First Lien Secured Parties, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Collateral Documents or contained in a direction of the Required First Lien Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. The Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Secured Party, and nothing herein or any of the other Transaction Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

(b) The provisions of this Section 7 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and no Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof.

7.2 Delegation of Duties. (a) The Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral or any portion thereof granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights or remedies thereunder) by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts of its choice concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(b) The Collateral Agent may also from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Supplemental Collateral Agent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided, however, that no such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by the Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Supplemental Collateral Agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent. If any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.

(b) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have been given to each Supplemental Collateral Agent. Every instrument appointing any Supplemental Collateral Agent shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Section 7.2.

(c) Any Supplemental Collateral Agent may at any time appoint the Collateral Agent as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf or in its name.

7.3 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the Collateral Documents except to the extent caused by the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Collateral Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received a direction of the Required First Lien Secured Parties and, upon receipt of such direction the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such directions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for a Loan Party), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Collateral Documents in accordance with a direction of the Required First Lien Secured Parties; and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in performing (and is hereby authorized by the Secured Parties to perform) the ministerial and administrative acts contemplated by or expressly provided in the Collateral Documents. Whenever in the administration of this Agreement the Collateral Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a factual or legal matter be proved or established in connection with the Collateral Agent taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved or established by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or, if appropriate, from a legal opinion from counsel to the Borrower.

(b) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof and as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty as to any of the Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Loan Party to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

(d) In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to any Property for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of CERCLA, or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to the Secured Parties, the Loan Parties or any other Person for any Environmental Actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for any part of the Properties of the Loan Parties to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person (including the Collateral Agent) other than a Loan Party or the Secured Parties, the Required First Lien Secured Parties shall direct the Collateral Agent to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Collateral Agent) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, such part of the Project.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or under any other Collateral Document (i) if such action would, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, be contrary to applicable law or the terms of this Agreement or (ii) if such action is not specifically provided for in this Agreement or under any other Collateral Document, it shall not have received a direction of the Required First Lien Secured Parties (or, to the extent expressly provided for in the Depositary Agreement, the Administrative Agent or the Controlling Party, as applicable) to take such action.

7.4 Notice of Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to not have actual knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless the Collateral Agent has received written notice from an authorized officer of a Secured Party or a Loan Party referring to this Agreement and the applicable document or documents governing such Event of Default, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default”. In the event that the Collateral Agent receives such a written notice, the Collateral Agent shall give notice thereof to the Secured Debt Representatives.

7.5 Non-Reliance on Collateral Agents and Other Secured Parties. Each of the Secured Parties expressly acknowledges that none of the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent to any such Person.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency hereof or any other Transaction Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Collateral Agent to Secured Parties or by or on behalf of any Loan Party, to any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Secured Obligations, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Transaction Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Advances or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.

7.6 Collateral Agents in Individual Capacity. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity as a Secured Party hereunder. With respect to Secured Obligations made or renewed by it or any of its Affiliates, the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as any Secured Party, and may exercise the same as though the Collateral Agent were not a Collateral Agent, and the term “Secured Party” shall (to the extent applicable), unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity.

7.7 Successor Collateral Agents. The Bank of New York may resign as Collateral Agent upon 30 days’ notice to each other Secured Party party hereto and the Borrower. In addition, in accordance with a direction of the Required First Lien Secured Parties, The Bank of New York (or any successor thereto) may be removed as Collateral Agent. If The Bank of New York (or any successor thereto) should resign or be removed as Collateral Agent, the Required First Lien Secured Parties shall appoint a successor agent (in consultation with the Borrower) whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and The Bank of New York’s (or any successor thereto) rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement or any Secured Party. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Collateral Agent by the date that is 30 days following The Bank of New York’s (or any successor thereto) notice of resignation or removal, The Bank of New York (or any successor thereto) resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Administrative Agent shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as a successor agent as contemplated above. After any Person’s resignation as a Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.

7.8 Security Documents. (a) Each party hereto hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Collateral Documents. Without further written consent or authorization from the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent may execute any documents or instruments as contemplated hereby (including the Collateral Documents and release documents pursuant to Section 5.1).

(b) Anything contained in any of the Collateral Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

7.9 No Risk of Funds. None of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents shall be construed to require the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder.

7.10 Fees; Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent (a) the Collateral Agent’s fees in accordance with a fee schedule provided by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower prior to the date hereof and (b) the amount of any and all of the Collateral Agent’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its counsel (and any local counsel) and of any accountants, experts or agents, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the execution and administration of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral or (iii) the exercise or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.

7.11 Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower, whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, hereby assumes liability for and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, including its officers, directors, agents, Affiliates and employees (each, an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any Claims (including, without limitations, the cost and expenses of defending themselves and the related costs and fees of their counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Person in any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of: (i) its acceptance or administration of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents; (ii) the financing, construction, ownership, operation or maintenance of the Project, or any part thereof; (iii) any latent or other defects in the Project whether or not discoverable by an Indemnified Person or the Borrower; (iv) a violation of laws or other loss of or damage relating to the Project; (v) any breach by the Borrower of any of its representations or warranties under the Transaction Documents or failure by the Borrower to perform or observe any covenant or agreement to be performed by it under any of the Transaction Documents; (vi) personal injury, death or property damage relating to the Project, including Claims based on strict liability in tort; and (vii) the transactions contemplated hereby (including (A) the performance by the Collateral Agent of its duties, rights and obligations hereunder, (B) any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to a direction of the Required First Lien Secured Parties and (C) any action contemplated to be taken by it hereunder or under any of the Collateral Documents); provided that the foregoing indemnities in clauses (i) through (vii) shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Claims to the extent they arise out of or result from (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (B) any breach of any obligation or representation or warranty of such Indemnified Person under any Transaction Document, or (C) any Taxes owed by the Indemnified Person in its individual capacity.

(b) All amounts due under clause (a) shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Collateral Agent under clause (a) of this Section, each Secured Party severally agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent such Secured Party’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Secured Parties’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate amount of Secured Obligations at such time.

(c) To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in clause (a) may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower or the applicable Secured Parties (as applicable) shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred pursuant to clause (a) by any Indemnified Person.

(d) The agreements in this Section 7.11 shall survive the resignation of the Collateral Agent and any termination of this Agreement, including any termination under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 8. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

8.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, each Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Loan Insurer, or any other Secured Party and based on documents and information deemed by it appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into the applicable Transaction Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and it will continue to make its own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the applicable Transaction Documents or this Agreement.

8.2 No Warranties or Liability. (a) Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Loan Insurer or any other Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Transaction Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate.

8.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities. (a) No right of the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or by any act or failure to act by any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Collateral Documents (but subject to Section 9.4(d)), none of the Collateral Documents shall be amended, modified or supplemented (i) in any manner materially adverse to any class of the Secured Parties without the consent of the Secured Debt Representative for each such affected class, (ii) in any manner which modifies the voting rights of any class of the Secured Parties without the consent of the Secured Debt Representative for each such affected class or (iii) in any manner inconsistent with the payment and lien priorities established hereby and by the Depositary Agreement for any class of Secured Parties without the consent of the Secured Debt Representative for such affected class.

8.4 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of each of the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent, the Loan Insurer and the Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(b) The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(c) Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d) This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the Discharge Date. Upon the repayment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations owing to a particular series of Secured Parties, and the termination of all such Secured Parties’ Commitments and Transaction Documents related specifically thereto, such Secured Parties, at their request, may be released from all of their obligations hereunder so long as such Secured Parties concurrently disclaim and waive any rights to the Collateral or the other benefits hereof (other than Section 6).

9.3 Amendments; Waivers; Controlling Party. (a) Subject Sections 8.3(b), 9.3(b) and 9.4(d), no amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any Agent or Secured Debt Representative shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that if the Loan Insurer is the Controlling Party under and as defined in the Credit Agreement or any other Secured Funded Debt Document, then the Loan Insurer shall have all rights to take all actions (including granting waivers, approving amendments or otherwise) for the Agents under the Credit Agreement or any such Secured Funded Debt Document (as applicable) hereunder; provided that no such actions shall, in the absence of the Collateral Agent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), be effective as against the Collateral Agent to the extent that the effect of such action would be to increase or otherwise materially amend or modify the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.3(a), neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights are directly affected (which includes, but is not limited to any amendment to the Borrower’s ability to cause additional obligations to constitute Secured Obligations as the Borrower may designate or any amendment, modification or waiver of Section 5.1, 5.4, 6.1, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.8 or 9.9) or such amendment, modification or waiver, if adopted, would cause any Loan Party to be in default under any of the Transaction Documents.

(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.3, the Borrower, the Pledgor, the Loan Insurer (so long as it is the Controlling Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Secured Funded Debt Document) and the Collateral Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) amend or supplement this Agreement or the Collateral Documents without the consent of any other Secured Party: (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Secured Parties; or (iii) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents or any release of any Collateral that is otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

9.4 Voting. (a) Without limiting anything contained herein (including Section 9.3(b) and 9.3(c)) and other than ministerial and administrative acts contemplated by or expressly provided in the Collateral Documents to which it is a party, the Collateral Agent shall not take any other action (including the exercise of remedies, the amendment of Collateral Documents or the granting of waivers under such Collateral Documents), or grant its consent under any Collateral Documents, unless pursuant to a direction of the Required First Lien Secured Parties. If the Collateral Agent determines that discretion is needed in the taking of any action, it may refrain from taking such action until such directions or instructions are received pursuant to a direction of the Required First Lien Secured Parties and shall have no liability to the Secured Parties for so refraining.

(b) In connection with any act or decision by the Required First Lien Secured Parties under this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents, (i) the vote of the Construction Lenders or the New Lenders (as applicable) shall be calculated based on the amount of the Lenders Exposure Amount owed to such Construction Lenders or the New Lenders (as applicable) at the time the applicable matter is presented for a vote, (ii) the vote of the Interest Rate Hedge Providers shall be calculated based on the amount of the Eligible Swap Amount at the time the applicable matter is presented for a vote, (iii) the vote of the Secured Fuel Supply Agreement Counterparties shall be calculated based on the amount of the Eligible Fuel Supply Agreement Amount at the time the applicable matter is presented for a vote and (iv) the vote of the Loan Insurer (as contemplated by clause (d) of the definition of “Required First Lien Secured Parties” and not including its rights to vote any Secured Party’s claims in respect of the Insured Debt as contemplated by clause (d) below) shall be calculated based on the amount owed by the Borrower to the Loan Insurer under the Loan Insurance Agreement at the time the applicable matter is presented for a vote.

(c) In calculating the percentage of Secured Parties voting for any matter that is the subject of a vote, consent, waiver, approval or otherwise providing direction with respect to a decision, the total number of votes cast by the Secured Parties (taken as a single class and series of Debt) in favor of such decision shall be divided by the total number of votes eligible to be cast by the Secured Parties which are entitled to so vote, consent, waive, approve or otherwise provide direction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no series of Debt hereunder will vote as a block or separate class).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, as and to the extent provided for in (1) the Credit Agreement, (2) any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, if the Borrower’s scheduled payment obligations thereunder are insured pursuant to an Insurance Policy and (3) from and after the occurrence of a Permitted Tax-Exempt Bond Refinancing, any Secured Funded Debt Documents relating to such Permitted Tax-Exempt Bond Refinancing (if the Borrower’s scheduled principal and interest payment obligations under such Secured Funded Debt Documents are guaranteed by the Loan Insurer pursuant to an Insurance Policy) (collectively, the Credit Agreement, such Secured Funded Debt Documents, such Interest Rate Protection Agreements and the Secured Obligations thereunder being referred to herein as the “Insured Debt”), the Loan Insurer (so long as it is the “Controlling Party” for such Insured Debt or the person thereunder entitled to exercise the applicable Secured Parties’ voting rights) shall be treated as the holder of all such Insured Debt and shall have all of the rights afforded to it under Article X of the Credit Agreement (in the case of the Credit Agreement), any comparable provision of such other Secured Funded Debt Documents and/or such Interest Rate Protection Agreements (in the case of other Insured Debt), including:

(i) having the exclusive power after the Closing Date to determine, control and direct any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, funding decision, or other action to be given, made or taken by any party to the Credit Agreement (including the Administrative Agent and the Construction Lenders, but excluding the Borrower), such Secured Funded Debt Documents (including the applicable trustee and tax-exempt bond holders, but excluding the Borrower) and such Interest Rate Protection Agreements (including the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Providers, but excluding the Borrower), hereunder;

(ii) having the exclusive power under the Transaction Documents (including this Agreement) to vote on behalf of such Insured Debt to determine the exercise of, and otherwise control and direct the enforcement of, all rights and remedies in respect of any Event of Default and the Collateral (including the exclusive power to provide to the Collateral Agent any “direction of the Required First Lien Secured Parties”); and

(iii) having the sole right to vote all of the Construction Lenders’ claims hereunder (i.e., their “Lenders Exposure Amount”), the applicable trustee and tax-exempt bond holders claims hereunder (i.e., their “Lenders Exposure Amount”), and the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Providers claims hereunder (i.e., their “Eligible Swap Amount”), and having the sole right to exercise the applicable Secured Debt Representative’s voting rights hereunder (including, in each case, votes with respect to any matters contemplated by Sections 3, 8.3(b) and 9.3(a) and this Section 9.4).

Nothing in this clause (d) shall impair or affect the Administrative Agent’s or any other Agent’s obligations, as a Secured Debt Representative, to provide the information, notices and other documentation required of it hereunder.
