Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendments to the Loan Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Third Amendment on the Effective Date as provided below, the Loan Agreement will be amended as follows:

(a) The definition of “Terminated System” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(b) Section 5.2(e) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(e) (i) the occurrence of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a right to remove and/or replace a Partnership Managing Member or a Lessor Managing Member (as the case may be), (ii) the occurrence of, or notice given or received by a Funded Subsidiary in respect of, any breach, default or claim under a Project Document and (ii) notice of any material event of default or termination given to or received by a Funded Subsidiary under any Project Document; and”

(c) Sub-clause 2.d. of Schedule 4 to Exhibit B to the Loan Agreement (Form of Borrowing Notice) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Non-cancelable; Prepayable: The related Customer Agreement is noncancelable and, other than with respect to Customer Agreements that have been fully prepaid or partially prepaid prior to the Borrowing Date, prepayable only with a mandatory prepayment amount equal to an amount determined by the discounting of all projected Customer Payments at a pre-determined discount rate [***].”.
