(b) General Terms of the Loans.

(i) Principal Amount. As of the date hereof, the principal outstanding amount of the Original Loan including all capitalized interest and any accrued and unpaid interest that shall be deemed capitalized is $61,686,261.04.

(ii) Evidence of Loans. On and after the date hereof, the loans made by each Lender to the Borrower under the Bridge Loan Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement (collectively, the “Loans”), and on the date hereof, the outstanding principal amount of each Lender’s Loan is set forth in Schedule 2.01(b).

(iii) Loan Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate in accordance with Section 2.01(c).

(iv) Payment of Principal at Maturity. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Loan and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the Loan Maturity Date in a single payment, subject, however, to the amortization payment requirements pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof.

(v) No Additional Borrowings. To the extent repaid or prepaid, Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Interest Provisions Relating to the Loans.

(i) Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum (the “Applicable Rate”) equal to: (i) until the date of Final Acceptance, 12.0%; (ii) from the date of Final Acceptance to the date of Ramp-Up Completion, 10.75%; and (iii) thereafter, in respect of each Interest Period, the applicable interest rate shall be determined in respect of such Interest Period on the basis of the Net-Debt-to-EBITDA Ratio of the Borrower, calculated on a consolidated basis based on the most recently completed four fiscal quarters immediately preceding such Interest Period on the basis of the financial statements of the Borrower, and in respect of such Interest Period shall be the interest rate set forth in the following table in the tier corresponding to the Borrower’s Net-Debt-to-EBITDA ratio as so determined:

(ii) For the period commencing on the date on which the Original Loan was made to the Borrower and ending on the date of Ramp-Up Completion, accrued interest on each Loan will not be paid in cash, but will be capitalized and added to the principal balance of such Loan on each Interest Payment Date. After the date of Ramp-Up Completion, the Borrower shall pay interest on each Loan in arrears in cash on each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if on any such Interest Payment Date, there is insufficient Distributable Cash to pay interest then due and payable, such interest shall continue to accrue and such unpaid amount shall be due and payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date on which sufficient Distributable Cash is available for such payment. Interest shall also be paid by the Borrower on the date of any payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent there is sufficient Distributable Cash, if the aggregate amount of previously accrued but unpaid interest (including capitalized interest and original issue discount) which would be includible in income of a Lender, (within the meaning of Section 163(i) of the Code) (the “Aggregate Accrual”) on any Interest Payment Date on the Loans following the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof, exceeds an amount equal to the product of (A) the issue price (as defined in Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a) of the Code) of the Loans and (B) the yield to maturity (interpreted in accordance with Section 163(i) of the Code) of the Loans (such sum, the “Maximum Accrual”), then, on each such Interest Payment Date, Borrower shall be required to pay an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the Aggregate Accrual over the Maximum Accrual.

(iv) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Lenders is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the date of this Agreement and as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

2.02 Other Payment Terms.

(a) Place and Manner. The Borrower shall make all payments due to the Lenders hereunder in accordance with Article 6 herein.

If any principal amounts required to be paid by or on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement remain unpaid after such principal amounts are due, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid interest on the aggregate outstanding balance of such principal amounts from the date due until those amounts are paid in full at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate plus 2%.

(d) Application of Payments. Payments made under this Agreement shall be applied first to any fees, costs, charges or expenses payable to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder, second to any accrued but unpaid interest (including any capitalized interest) on the Loans and third to any outstanding principal of the Loans; provided, that if a payment is made during the continuance of an Event of Default, payments may be applied in any order designated by the Lenders.

2.03 Standstill.

The terms and conditions of the Loans and this Agreement shall be subject to the Acknowledgment Agreement (Parent Debt), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Lenders agree that the Acknowledgment Agreement (Parent Debt) shall apply to any refinancing of the Project Company Senior Debt Obligations in accordance with the LLC Agreement or as permitted under the Project Company Credit Agreement.

2.04 Optional Prepayments.

At any time, and from time to time, the Borrower may, at its option and without the approval of the Lenders, on any Business Day, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans; provided, however, that any such partial prepayment of the Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $300,000 (or such lesser amount if such prepayment repays all outstanding Obligations) and an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

2.05 Mandatory Prepayments.

(ii) an Event of Loss, whereby the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds From Event of Loss received by the Borrower in connection with such Event of Loss during the Fiscal Year exceeds $100,000;

the Borrower shall make a prepayment of the Loans and other Obligations then owing in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of all such Loans and Obligations and (y) the amount of proceeds received in connection with the events described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as applicable (net of sale, use or other transaction taxes payable in connection therewith and other direct transaction expenses reasonably incurred by the Borrower in connection with any such events).

(c) Subject to restrictions contained in the Project Company Credit Agreement or the Depositary Agreement, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days) prepay outstanding Loans and other amounts hereunder with any and all amounts transferred or credited to the Sweep Account in accordance with or as permitted under the Depositary Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be permitted to pay or cause to be paid up to an aggregate amount of $250,000 solely pursuant to and in accordance with the Contribution Agreement (and the Parent Equity Investor Subordination Agreements) in respect of accrued and unpaid interest that is due and payable in cash on Proportionate Notes (under, and as defined in, the Contribution Agreement).

(d) Account Name Changes. Borrower agrees that it shall not cause or permit any change in the name of or account number of any Borrower Account without the prior written consent of [REDACTED] and, except after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower, except for changes due to internal system modifications, after which Borrower shall promptly notify, or cause Depositary to notify, Agent.

7.07 Remedies on Event of Default.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and after prior written notice to Depositary in accordance with the Control Agreements that an Event of Default has occurred, at the election of Agent, and without limiting the rights or remedies of Agent or any other Lender herein or under any of the other Collateral Documents, (i) Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to direct Depositary in writing in accordance with the relevant Control Agreement to administer the Borrower Accounts and disburse funds therefrom (and, upon the

(b) From and after receipt by Borrower of written notice from Agent that an Event of Default exists and is continuing, and until such time as Borrower receives written notice from Agent that such Event of Default no longer exists, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Borrower nor any other Person (other than Agent) shall give notices and instructions required or permitted to be given under the Control Agreements and the applicable underlying account agreements, and Borrower shall not be permitted to withdraw, transfer, pay or otherwise disburse any amounts from the Borrower Accounts.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent may exercise in respect of the Borrower Accounts after written notice to the Borrower, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC at that time and consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Control Agreements and the other Loan Documents, including the right to proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement, to sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Borrower Accounts, and to cause the Borrower Accounts to be sold, liquidated or otherwise disposed of, in each case in such manner as Agent may elect. The proceeds of any financial assets credited to or held in any Borrower Account and all cash proceeds received by Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Borrower Accounts may, in the discretion of Agent, then or at any time thereafter, be applied (after payment of any amounts duly payable to Depositary in respect of such Borrower Accounts) in whole or in part by Agent against all or any part of the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement. Any surplus of such amounts or proceeds remaining after payment in full in cash of all the Obligations (other than those which expressly survive termination of the Loan Documents) shall be paid over to Borrower or to a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a writ, order, judgment or decree issued by such court (in the case of surplus proceeds remaining in or derived from the Borrower Accounts). No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Agent or the other Lenders is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
