ARTICLE 1 PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE ACQUIRED INTERESTS

1.1 Agreement to Sell and Purchase.

The purchase and sale of the Acquired Interests relating to a particular Project and Project Company (each such purchase and sale, an “Acquisition”) shall occur on the same date and at the same time as the Closing with respect to all other Acquisitions.

1.2 Signing Date Deliverables. On or prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller has delivered or is delivering to Purchaser a Financial Model for each Project as of the date hereof. On the date of this Agreement each of Seller and Purchaser shall deliver to the other party the

other deliverables with respect to each Acquisition set forth in Part II of Section A of the Appendix relating to such Acquisition.

1.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price payable by the Purchaser (or the applicable Subsidiary Purchaser) to Seller at the Closing of an Acquisition shall be the Purchase Price set forth in Part I of Section A of the Appendix relating to such Acquisition.

Subject to the next sentence, Seller will give to the Purchaser and to the Purchaser’s counsel, accountants and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to all material Books and Records of the Project Company and the Project for such Acquisition (subject to all applicable safety and insurance requirements and any limitations on Seller’s rights to, or right to provide others with, access) and will furnish to the Purchaser all such documents and copies of documents and all information, including operational reports, with respect to the affairs of the Project Company and the Project for such Acquisition as the Purchaser may reasonably request. If, by reason of any confidentiality obligations imposed on Seller by any counterparty to a Contract who deals at arm’s length with Seller, Seller is unable to comply with the foregoing covenant, Seller and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents or waivers required to make the disclosure (which, in the case of the Purchaser, may include the requirement to enter into a reasonable confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement). The Purchaser agrees to comply with any confidentiality obligations which would be applicable to it under any such Contracts received from Seller hereunder.

to furnish to the other parties and to the other parties’ counsel all such information as may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the foregoing actions, including draft regulatory filings and submissions, provided that such information may be redacted to render illegible any commercially sensitive portions thereof, and in such event the parties will meet in good faith to agree on protective measures to allow disclosure of such redacted information to counsel in a manner that affords the maximum protection to such commercially sensitive information as is reasonable in the circumstances; and

(iii)

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

(f) Allocation of Partnership Income and Loss.
