Exhibits

EXHIBIT A — Form of Note

          This TERM LOAN AGREEMENT, dated May 31, 2011 (this “Agreement”), is made and executed by and among SOLAR TAX PARTNERS 2, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Borrower”), and East West Bank (“Lender”).

Recitals

          A. Borrower is the owner of a 2.4 MW solar photovoltaic solar power generating facility (the “Project”) located at Folsom Boulevard and Aerojet Road in Rancho Cordova, California.

          B. Borrower has financed the ownership, operation and maintenance of the facility in part with a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $3,898,560 from Five Star Bank (the “Existing Loan”).

          C. In order to refinance the Existing Loan and finance the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Project, Borrower has requested Lender to extend, and Lender has agreed to extend, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $4,500,000.

          D. Borrower has agreed to secure all of the Secured Obligations by granting to Lender a first priority Lien on the Collateral owned by Borrower.

Agreement

          NOW, THEREFORE, Lender is willing to extend the credit described above to Borrower on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.
Defined Terms; Rules of Construction

          1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified in Annex 1 to this Agreement.

          1.2 Rules of Construction. Except as otherwise expressly provided, the following rules of interpretation shall apply to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents: (a) the definitions referred to in Section 1.1 shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined; (b) whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms; (c) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”; (d) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require; (e) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any reference in this Agreement to any agreement shall mean such agreement as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time; (f) the term “or” is not exclusive unless the context otherwise requires; (g) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or

ARTICLE II.
Credit

          2.1 Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to Borrower on the Closing Date in the amount of $4,500,000. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Term Loan may not be re-borrowed.

          2.2 Repayment of Term Loan.

                    (a) Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan on or prior to the Maturity Date. Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender resulting from the Term Loan made by Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to Lender from time to time hereunder. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Term Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                    (b) On each Monthly Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date, commencing on June 1, 2011, Borrower shall repay the principal amount of the Term Loan in the amount set forth in the schedule of payments attached as Schedule 2.2 as well as all accrued and unpaid interest. Principal payments under this Term Loan shall be fixed as provided on Schedule 2.2. Interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan shall accrue at the Variable Interest Rate as provided in Section 2.6 below. To the extent not previously paid, the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

                    (c) Payments set forth in subsections 2.2(a) and (b) above shall be made in accordance with the Depository Agreement.

          2.3 Prepayment of Term Loan.

                    (a) Mandatory Prepayments. Borrower shall (i) cause all funds transferred pursuant to the Depositary Agreement in respect of mandatory prepayments to be applied to the prepayment of Term Loan in accordance with Section 2.4 and (ii) apply all funds disbursed from the Mandatory Prepayment Account (as defined in the Depositary Agreement) pursuant to the Depositary Agreement to the prepayment of Term Loan in accordance with Section 2.4.

                    (b) Prepayments of Term Loan. Borrower may prepay the Term Loan in whole prior to the Maturity Date.

                         Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.3, Borrower shall consult with Lender prior to making any prepayment when a Financial Contract has been executed between Borrower and Lender in connection with this Term Loan.

          2.4 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise specified herein or in the Depositary Agreement, mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan shall be applied pro rata to scheduled amortization payments of the Term Loan in inverse order of maturity and the Commitment shall be reduced in an amount corresponding to such mandatory prepayment. Scheduled amortization payments shall be applied to the Term Loan in direct order of maturity and voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan shall be applied to then outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis. Neither voluntary nor mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan may be re-borrowed.

          2.5 Fees. On the Closing Date, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender in immediately available funds a loan fee equal to $22,500. The loan fee shall be fully earned on the Closing Date and non-refundable.

          2.6 Interest.

                    (a) Rate. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan at the Variable Interest Rate subject to the Interest Rate Floor, provided however that the Interest Rate Floor shall not apply if a Financial Contract has been executed between Borrower and Lender in connection with this Term Loan. The interest rate on the Term Loan will not be less than 6.00% per annum (“Interest Rate Floor”). The Variable Interest Rate on this loan is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the daily Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, as quoted in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal (Western Edition), rounded to two decimal places, all as determined by Lender (the “Index”). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will inform Borrower of the current Index rate upon Borrower’s request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 3.250% per annum. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this loan will be calculated using a rate of 1.250 percentage point over the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 4.500%.

                    (b) Default Interest. If an Event of Default occurs and so long as it is continuing, Borrower shall pay interest on any outstanding principal of and interest on the Term Loan or any outstanding fees or other amounts due and payable by Borrower at a rate equal to 11% per annum.

                    (c) Interest Generally. Accrued interest on the Term Loan shall be payable by Borrower in arrears on each Monthly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date; provided, that (A) interest accrued pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.6 shall be payable on demand, and (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of the Term Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

          2.7 Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall: (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the Term Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) to Borrower or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) (except, in each case, for Taxes), then Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. If Lender determines that any Change in

Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on the capital of Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or any of the Term Loan made by Lender to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

          2.8 Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes (other than income or franchise Taxes imposed on or measured by Lender’s net income); provided, that, if by any Governmental Rule any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any such payment, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to Taxes payable under this Section) Lender or any other recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions and withholdings for Taxes been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay or cause to be paid the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Governmental Rules. In addition, Borrower shall timely pay or cause to be paid any and all present or future stamp or documentary Taxes or any other excise, property, intangible or recording Taxes arising from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Governmental Rules. Borrower shall indemnify or cause to be indemnified Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes paid by Lender or any of its Affiliates on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any Obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

          2.9 Payments Generally.

                    (a) Unless otherwise specified, Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.7, Section 2.8, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Lender to the applicable account designated to Borrower by Lender, except that payments pursuant to Section 2.7, Section 2.8 and Section 8.2 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto, in each case, subject to the terms of the Depositary Agreement. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of (i) principal

or interest in respect of the Term Loan or (ii) any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

                    (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to Lender from Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from Borrower under the Loan Documents, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from Borrower hereunder, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due from Borrower hereunder.

          3.10 Federal Reserve and Other Regulations No Brokers. Borrower is not engaged principally in, nor does it have as one of its important activities, the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Term Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (i) to purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose, or (ii) for any purpose that entails a

violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, including Regulation U or Regulation X.

In addition, Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is not controlled by such a company, or (ii) a “holding company”, or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary” of a “holding company”, within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. Borrower has no obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s, broker’s or investment banking fee with respect to the Loan Documents or the Transactions or under any other agreement, document or instrument with any Person, other than fees payable under this Agreement.

                    (b) As of the Closing Date, (i) no Liens for Taxes (other than Liens for Taxes not yet delinquent) have been filed with respect to the assets of Borrower, (ii) no unresolved claim has been asserted in writing with respect to any Taxes of Borrower, (iii) no waiver or agreement by Borrower is in force for the extension of time for the assessment or payment of any Tax, and (iv) no request for any such extension or waiver is currently pending. As of the Closing Date, there is no pending or, to Borrower’s Knowledge, threatened audit or investigation by any Governmental Authority of Borrower with respect to Taxes.

                    (c) Borrower is not a party to or bound by any Tax sharing arrangement or similar agreement or arrangement (whether or not written) pursuant to which it may have an obligation to make any payments after the Closing Date.

                    (d) Borrower is, and has been since formation, a Pass-Through Entity.

Borrower has not engaged in any “listed transaction” (as defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4) or made any disclosure under Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4.

                    (e) Borrower has no nexus or other taxable presence outside the United States, any trade or business or permanent establishment outside the United States or any other connection to a jurisdiction outside the United States that could reasonably be expected to subject it to any requirement to deduct or withhold any Tax with respect to any payment made pursuant to any Loan Document.

          3.12 Compliance with Laws. Except for matters related to Environmental Laws and Hazardous Materials which are addressed in Section 3.15, neither Borrower nor any of its properties or assets is in violation of (nor will the continued operation of its material properties and assets as currently conducted violate) any currently applicable Legal Requirements (including any zoning, building, ordinance, code or approval or any

building permit), where such violation or default could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

          3.13 Employee Matters. Borrower has no, nor will Borrower have any, employees.

          3.14 Solvency. Immediately after giving effect to the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date, (a) the fair value of the assets of Borrower, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of Borrower, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of Borrower will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of Borrower on its debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) Borrower will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured (after giving effect to any guarantees and credit support), and (d) Borrower will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

          3.15 Hazardous Materials. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.15, (a) during the period of Borrower’s ownership of the Collateral, there has been no use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material by any person acting on behalf of Borrower with respect to the Collateral; and (b) Borrower has no knowledge of, or reason to believe that there has been (i) any breach or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Collateral or Borrower, (ii) any use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Material on, under, about or from the Collateral by any prior owners or occupants of any of the Collateral, or (iii) any actual or threatened litigation or claims of any kind by any person relating to such matters. Upon reasonable notice from Lender, subject to the terms of the Major Project Contracts, Borrower authorizes Lender and its agents to enter upon the Collateral at reasonable times to make such inspections and tests as Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the Collateral with this section of the Agreement. Any inspections or tests made by Lender upon reasonable cause shall be at Borrower’ expense and for Lender’s purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Borrower or to any other Person. To the extent that any written reports of such tests or inspections are prepared, copies of such written reports shall be delivered to Borrower within a reasonable time after Borrower’s request therefor.

PROMISSORY NOTE

$4,500,000.00		May 31, 2011

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, SOLAR TAX PARTNERS 2, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to EAST WEST BANK (“Lender”) or its registered assigns at the office specified in the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds the principal amount of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($4,500,000.00). Borrower further agrees to pay interest in like money at such office specified in the Loan Agreement on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding at the rates and on the dates specified in the Loan Agreement.

          This note (a) is the “Note” referred to in Term Loan Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2011 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among Borrower and Lender, (b) is subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement and (c) is subject to optional and mandatory prepayment in whole or in part as provided in the Loan Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Loan Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

          Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest required by the Loan Agreement.

          All sums due under this Note, both principal and interest, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

          The interest rate on this Note will not be less than 6.00% per annum (“Interest Rate Floor”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower and Lender now or hereafter enter into a rate swap agreement in connection with this Note, then for the duration of such Financial Contract, the Interest Rate Floor will not apply to so much of the principal balance of this Note as is equal to the notional amount of such Financial Contract. The interest rate on this Note will not be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

          The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the daily Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, as quoted in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal (Western Edition), rounded to two decimal places, all as determined by Lender (the “Index”). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will inform Borrower of the current Index rate upon Borrower’s request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day.

          This note is secured as provided in the Loan Documents. Reference is hereby made to the Loan Documents for a description of the properties and assets in which a security interest has been granted, the nature and extent of the security, the terms and conditions upon which the security interests were granted and the rights of the holder of this note in respect thereof.

          Upon the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default, all principal and accrued interest then remaining unpaid on this note shall become, or may be declared to be, immediately due and payable, all as provided in the Loan Agreement.

          All parties now and hereafter liable with respect to this note, whether maker, principal, surety, guarantor, endorser or otherwise, hereby waive presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Agreement.

          NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT.

          THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
