THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of June 17, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between EFS Desert Sun, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and NRG Yield Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”) (Seller and Buyer being sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”), with reference to the following:

RECITALS

A. Seller owns fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding Class B membership interests (the “Class B Interests”) in Desert Sunlight Investment Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), which constitutes twenty-five percent (25%) of the membership interests in the Company.

B. Seller desires to sell one hundred percent (100%) of the Class B Interests owned by Seller to Buyer and to delegate (i) any and all rights, duties, obligations, responsibilities, claims, demands and other commitments in connection with Seller’s Class B Interests (such Class B Interests, the “Assigned Interests”) and, (ii) to the extent relating to the Assigned Interests, the agreements set forth in Schedule 1 (the “Assigned Agreements”), as applicable, unto Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase the Assigned Interests from Seller and Seller is willing to accept and assume such rights, duties and obligations, responsibilities, claims, demands and other commitments in connection with the Assigned Agreements.

C. The Company owns one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Desert Sunlight Holdings, LLC, which owns one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Desert Sunlight 250, LLC (“Sunlight 250”) and Desert Sunlight 300, LLC (“Sunlight 300”, and together with Sunlight 250, the “Sunlight Project Companies” and each, a “Sunlight Project Company”; and, together with the Company and Desert Sunlight Holdings, LLC (“DS Holdings”), each a “Sunlight Company” and collectively, the “Sunlight Companies”), each of which respectively owns, operates and maintains the Desert Sunlight 250 Project and the Desert Sunlight 300 Project (each a “Project” and collectively, the “Projects”), respectively.

D. The Sunlight Project Companies filed multiple Cash Grant applications with the United States Department of Treasury (“Treasury”) claiming a Cash Grant with respect to the Projects.

The members of the Company, who are members prior to giving effect to the sale of the Assigned Interests, intend to exercise remedies available to the Sunlight Companies to recover payment of the Grant Shortfall, including pursuing ongoing negotiations with Treasury and, if necessary, commencing a cause of action in any appropriate judicial or administrative venue (collectively, the “Cash Grant Proceeding”).

E. From and after the sale of the Assigned Interests, Seller desires to retain the rights to any future distributions of Cash Grant proceeds and all of its notice rights, participation rights, consent rights and dispute resolution rights with respect to any Cash Grant Proceeding, in each case, in connection with the Assigned Interests (the “Excluded Cash Grant Interests”).

7.1.1 General. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, and Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller (the applicable indemnifying party, the “Indemnitor”), including, in

the case of each non-indemnifying Party, such Party’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives, successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party,” with each Party and its respective group of Indemnified Parties being referred to collectively as an “Indemnified Group”) from and against any Loss suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Party to the extent arising out of, or resulting from (i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Indemnitor contained in the Transaction Documents or the bring-down certificates provided at Closing pursuant to Section 3.3.8 or Section 3.4.8 or (ii) the breach or default by the Indemnitor of any covenant or agreement of such Indemnitor contained in the Transaction Documents, (b) to the extent not otherwise paid by GECC under any Amended and Restated Seller Cash Grant Guarantee, Seller shall indemnify Buyer for any payment obligations of Buyer under the Buyer 1603 Cash Grant Recapture Indemnity Agreements (which obligations shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus [***] percent ([***]%) per annum from the date of payment by Buyer until the date of reimbursement by Seller), but excluding any payment obligations arising as a result of a Buyer Cash Grant Event, (c) Buyer shall indemnify GECC for any payment obligations of GECC under any Amended and Restated Seller Cash Grant Guarantee that arise as a result of a Buyer Cash Grant Event (which obligations shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus [***] percent ([***]%) per annum from the date of payment by GECC until the date of reimbursement by Buyer), (d) (i) Buyer shall indemnify Seller for any Loss suffered or incurred to the extent directly arising out of the Assigned Agreements on or after the Closing Date, except to the extent arising out of any Retained Rights and Obligations and (ii) Seller shall indemnify Buyer for any Loss suffered or incurred to the extent directly arising out of any Retained Obligations, and (e) Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, Seller Parent and each of their Affiliates and their respective Representatives, successors and assigns from any Loss suffered or incurred by any such Person solely to the extent arising out of, or resulting from claims relating to (i) a Buyer Cash Grant Event or (ii) the breach or default by the Buyer of any covenant, agreement or representation and warranty of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or the Company LLCA Amendment, in each case only to the extent such Loss suffered or incurred results from a claim made by a beneficiary under any Seller Parent Transfer Indemnity and without duplication of any liability under clause (a)(i) above (the “General Indemnity”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification hereunder in respect of any Loss to the extent caused by the fraud, negligence, willful misconduct or failure to perform material obligations under the Transaction Documents of such Indemnified Party or any Person who is a member of its Indemnified Group.

7.1.2 Limitations on General Indemnity.

7.1.2.1 Timing of Claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1.1 above, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make any claim for indemnification as provided in Section 7.1.1(a)(i) unless such claim shall have been made in writing no later than twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, other than for breaches of (a) those representations made in Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.7 (the “Seller Fundamental Representations”) and Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.1.3, 5.1.12 and 5.1.16 (the “Buyer Fundamental Representations” and

together with the Seller Fundamental Representations, the “Fundamental Representations”), as to which a claim may be made at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; and (b) the Tax Representations of Seller and Buyer in this Agreement, as to which a claim may be made no later than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (taking into account applicable waivers and extensions). Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1.1 above, Buyer shall not be entitled to make any claim for indemnification as provided in Section 7.1.1(d)(ii) in respect of Other EPC Payments unless such claim shall have been made in writing no later than the date on which the bonus payment obligations owed by any Sunlight Company to First Solar Electric (California), Inc. under the EPC Contracts are paid in full.

7.1.2.2 Deductible Amount for General Indemnity. Except for claims relating to a breach of Fundamental Representations, an Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to make any claim for indemnification under Section 7.1.1(a)(i) above with respect to the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty unless the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party from claims arising out of, or resulting from Section 7.1.1(a)(i) exceeds an amount equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the Purchase Price (the “Deductible Amount”), in which event an Indemnitor shall be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party only for such Losses thereof in excess of such Deductible Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Deductible Amounts shall not apply to any claims for indemnification under any subsection or clause of Section 7.1.1 other than Section 7.1.1(a)(i) thereof.

7.1.2.3 Overall Limitation on Liability of Parties for General Indemnity. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, following the Closing, the aggregate Liability of the Parties under the General Indemnity or otherwise arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than any claims relating to the Retained Obligations or for failure of a Party to pay an amount due under the Transaction Documents), and the other Transaction Documents (but excluding the Cash Grant Letter Agreement) from any and all causes (whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, law or equity, or any other cause of action), shall not exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the Purchase Price, except that (a) the aggregate Liability of Seller or Buyer shall not exceed [***] if such Liability arises from its breach of any of its Fundamental Representations, Tax Representations or any covenant of Seller and Buyer in this Agreement relating to Taxes, (b) the aggregate Liability of Buyer shall not be subject to any such limitations under this Section 7.1.2.3 if such Liability arises from Buyer’s obligations under Section 7.1.1(c), Section 7.1.1(d)(i), or Section 7.1.1(e), and (c) the aggregate Liability of Seller shall not be subject to any such limitations under this Section 7.1.2.3 if such Liability arises from Seller’s obligations under Section 7.1.1(b) or Section 7.1.1(d)(ii).

7.2 Payment of Claims.

7.2.1 Claim Procedure. If an Indemnified Party learns of an actual or potential indemnity claim (other than a claim by a third Person) for which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under Section 7.1, such Indemnified Party shall, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of such claim, notify the Indemnitor thereof in writing, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim and the actual or, if reasonably

practicable, the estimated amount of such claim to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such indemnity claim) (such notice, a “Claim Notice”); provided, that the failure of an Indemnified Party to give timely notice shall not affect its rights to indemnification under Section 7.1, except to the extent that the Indemnitor has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. Within ten (10) days following receipt of the applicable Claim Notice, the Indemnitor shall notify such Indemnified Party in writing if the Indemnitor disputes that all or a portion of such indemnity claim is subject to indemnification hereunder, specifying the amount, if applicable, so disputed, and otherwise the Indemnitor shall be deemed to have agreed that any undisputed portion of such indemnity claim is subject to indemnification hereunder. Any such indemnity claim that the Indemnitor has agreed, or has been deemed to have agreed, is subject to indemnification hereunder shall be paid in accordance with Section 7.2.2. With respect to any disputed indemnity claim, after final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter indemnified by the Indemnitor, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnitor with respect to such matter, and such amount shall be paid as provided in Section 7.2.2.

7.2.2 Timing for Payment. Except for third party indemnity claims paid in accordance with Section 7.4.4, all indemnity claims shall be paid as follows: (a) if the Indemnitor is Buyer, by payment by Buyer of the sums so owing to the Indemnified Party in immediately available funds within twenty (20) days after the date of receipt of the corresponding claims under Section 7.1.1 and (b) if the Indemnitor is Seller, by payment by Seller of the sums so owing to the Indemnified Party in immediately available funds within twenty (20) days after the date of receipt of the corresponding claims under Section 7.1.1.

7.3 Other Limitations on Indemnities.

7.3.1 Mitigation and Limitation of Claims.

7.3.1.1 Reasonable Steps to Mitigate. Each Indemnified Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate all Losses relating to a claim, including availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity, and shall provide such evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of the claim as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor.

7.3.1.2 Subsequent Recoveries. If the amount of any Indemnified Party’s Loss, at any time subsequent to an Indemnitor’s making of a payment under this Article 7, is reduced by recovery, settlement, Tax refund or otherwise under or pursuant to any applicable insurance coverage, or pursuant to any applicable claim, recovery, settlement, or payment by or against any other Person, without duplication of any amount already reducing such Loss pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Loss” (collectively, “Recoveries”), the

amount of such Recoveries shall be repaid by such Indemnified Party to such Indemnitor within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (or credit therefor) by such Indemnified Party, up to the aggregate amount of (i) the payments made by such Indemnitor to such Indemnified Party plus (ii) any costs or expenses incurred by such Indemnitor in connection with its indemnification obligations with respect thereto.

7.3.2 Exclusive Remedy. Except as provided in the next sentence, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of each Party (including Indemnified Parties) against another Party (a) for any breach of any Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and (b) otherwise with respect to the Transaction Documents, the Projects or the transactions contemplated hereby. The only exceptions to the foregoing sole and exclusive remedy are claims for non-monetary relief with respect to the enforcement of Section 9.8. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it or any of its Affiliates may have against the other Party hereunder or under applicable Law with respect to the matters described in clauses (a) and (b) above.

7.3.3 Change in Laws; Omissions by Request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Seller shall not be liable for any indemnification claim in respect of any damage, loss, cost or expense to the extent that such claim would not have arisen (or the amount of the claim would not have been increased) but for (a) a change in applicable Law or Legal Requirements made after the date hereof; or (b) an act or omission made or taken by Seller pursuant to the written request, consent or approval of Buyer.

7.4 Procedure for Indemnification With Respect to Third-Party Claims.

7.4.1 Notice of Claim. If any legal proceedings shall be instituted or any claim or demand shall be asserted by any third Person (which, for the avoidance of doubt, means any Person other than a Party or a Representative of a Party) in respect of which indemnification may be sought by any Indemnified Party under Section 7.1, such Indemnified Party shall, within twenty (20) days of the actual receipt thereof by a Representative, cause written notice of such legal proceedings or the assertion of such claim or demand to be forwarded to the Indemnitor, specifying the nature of such legal proceedings, claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then determinable, which estimate shall not be binding upon the Indemnified Party; provided, that the failure of an Indemnified Party to give timely notice shall not affect its rights to indemnification under Section 7.1, except to the extent that the Indemnitor has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

7.4.2 Conduct of Claim. Subject to the constraints and limitations of the Company LLCA or the Company LLCA Amendment, as applicable, the Indemnitor shall have the right, at its option and at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice and to participate in, or take control of, the defense, negotiation and/or settlement

of any proceeding, claim or demand that relates to any amounts indemnifiable or potentially indemnifiable under Section 7.1; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any such proceeding with counsel of its choice, which shall be at its own expense, unless (a) the Indemnitor chooses counsel not reasonably acceptable to Indemnified Party, (b) the Indemnitor does not pursue with reasonable diligence such defense, negotiation or settlement, or (c) in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnified Party and its counsel, such action, suit or proceeding involves the potential imposition of criminal liability upon such Indemnified Party or a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand.

7.4.3 Settlement. The Indemnified Party shall have a right to notice of any settlement, and the Indemnitor shall not execute or otherwise agree to any consent decree that (a) provides for other than monetary payment without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (b) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving of a release from all Liability with respect to each claim made by each claimant or plaintiff against each Indemnified Party that is subject to the third-party claim, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim; provided, that in such event it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor elects not to defend or settle such proceeding, claim or demand and the Indemnified Party defends, settles or otherwise deals with any such proceeding, claim or demand directly, the Indemnified Party shall provide fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice of any settlement to the Indemnitor and shall act reasonably and in accordance with the Indemnified Party’s good faith business judgment.

7.4.4 Payment of Third-Party Claims. After final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter indemnified by the Indemnitor, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnitor with respect to such matter, and such amount shall be paid in immediately available funds within twenty (20) days after the date of receipt of such notice.

7.4.5 Access to Information. If any claim is made by a third party against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make available to the Indemnitor those partners, members, officers and employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary to assist the Indemnitor in evaluating and in defending such claims; provided, that any such access shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of the business of the

Indemnified Party, and any out of pocket expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection therewith shall be included in such Indemnified Party’s Losses.

7.4.6 Subrogation. Upon payment of a Loss by an Indemnitor to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 7 for any claim made pursuant to Section 7.1 (other than any such payment relating to Taxes), such Indemnitor, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims and defenses that such Indemnified Party or any member of its Indemnified Group may have against third parties relating to such Loss, but only to the extent of the amount paid to such Indemnified Party or any member of its Indemnified Group by such Indemnitor in respect of such Loss, and such Indemnified Party and the members of its Indemnified Group shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with such Indemnitor, at the expense of such Indemnitor in order to enable such Indemnitor to pursue such claims.

7.5 Treatment of Payments. The Parties shall treat all payments made by Seller to or for the benefit of Buyer and all payments by Buyer to or for the benefit of Seller under any indemnity provision of this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal income tax purposes.

7.6 Waiver of Breaches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Seller shall not be liable under this Article 7 for any Losses based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement if (i) Seller had notified Buyer of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing or (ii) Buyer had notified Seller of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing.

NRG Member’s obligations under this Section 2(a) with respect to Losses related to 1603 Grant Shortfall Liabilities shall be limited to the payment of its Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal of and interest on the A-3 Loans at the time any payment in respect thereof is made and any such payment shall be applied solely to the repayment of such principal and interest. Losses shall exclude any indirect, consequential, punitive, special or incidental damages. All amounts paid by NRG Member pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute contributions of equity or loans to Holdings Parent, which shall in turn constitute contributions of equity by Holdings Parent to Holdings and by Holdings to Borrower; provided that the foregoing equity contributions by Holdings Parent or Holdings, as applicable, may be made in the form of loans from Holdings Parent to Holdings, as permitted by Section 6.1(i) of the Master Agreement, and loans from Holdings to Borrower, as permitted by Section 6.1(h) of the Master Agreement, and if any such loans are made, the proceeds of such loans shall constitute contributions of equity and the NRG Member shall be deemed to have made a contribution of equity in the amount of any such proceeds.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, NRG Member shall have no obligations under this Agreement in respect of Losses arising out of, resulting from or attributable to (i) the exercise by the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties of their remedies under the Financing Documents, including without limitation, foreclosure or (ii) the actions or identity of any direct or indirect owner of Equity Interests in Borrower other than NRG Member or direct or indirect owners of NRG Member. The NRG Member or any of its Affiliates may, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, diligently contest any Losses hereunder (and defer payment during such contest) and the Beneficiaries shall permit the NRG Member, at its sole cost and expense, to direct and control such proceedings. If any Beneficiary recovers or otherwise receives a refund or credit against other liabilities of any 1603 Grant Recapture Liabilities in respect of which NRG Member paid a Loss hereunder, the Beneficiaries, as applicable, shall, within 10 Business Days of receipt (or receipt of notice of such a credit), pay over to NRG Member the amount so recovered, refunded, or credited, along with any interest or similar amounts paid thereon.

(c) If the Treasury or any other Governmental Authority shall make any claim, commence any audit, investigation or other action (a “Proceeding”) or otherwise seek to impose any liability that could give rise to a Loss subject to indemnification under this Section 2 (a “Claim”), NRG Member (if it has knowledge of such Claim) and each Sunlight Entity with knowledge of such Claim shall promptly notify the Beneficiaries (and, in the case of such notice by a Sunlight Entity, NRG Member), in writing of such Claim; provided, however, that the failure by NRG Member or such Sunlight Entity to so notify any Beneficiary (or, in the case of any such failure by a Sunlight Entity, NRG Member) shall not relieve NRG Member from any liability which it may have under this Section 2. NRG Member shall, without duplication and subject to Section 2(a), provide reimbursement or pay for any and all Losses no later than 30 days after receiving demand therefor. Each Beneficiary shall be entitled to make demand upon NRG Member at any time upon the incurrence of any Loss. Any demand by a Beneficiary for indemnification of any Loss shall be made in writing to NRG Member, shall specify the nature and the amount of the Loss and shall be conclusive as thereto absent manifest error. All payments to be made by NRG Member pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) shall be made directly to the 1603 Grant Suspense Account and all other payments to be made by NRG Member under this Section 2 shall be made directly to the Revenue Account, or to such other account as the indemnified Beneficiary shall direct by notice to Borrower and NRG Member.

(d) The obligations of NRG Member under this Section 2 are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity or enforceability of any Financing Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of their undertakings hereunder, it being the intent of this Section 2(d) that the obligations of NRG Member hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of NRG Member hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

obligations of the Financing Parties under any other Financing Document shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Financing Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Obligations;

(iii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any Financing Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(vi) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any party to a Financing Document as security for any of the Obligations (including without limitation Liens intended to be created by the Security Documents) or any of the obligations of any Sunlight Entity under any other Financing Document shall fail to be perfected or shall be released;

(viii) subject to Section 15, any change in ownership of any Sunlight Entity;

(ix) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, conservatorship, custodianship,

(xi) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of NRG Member as an obligor under this Agreement.

(e) NRG Member hereby expressly waives, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever (other than any notices required under this Agreement) and any requirement that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any party to a Financing Document exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Sunlight Entity under this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations or any of the obligations of any Sunlight Entity under any other Financing Document, or pursue any other remedy in the power of the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party whatsoever. NRG Member hereby further expressly waives, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, (i) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Sunlight Entity or any Member including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Sunlight Entity or any Member from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations, (ii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal, (iii) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith, (iv) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of NRG Member’s obligations hereunder, (B) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (C) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto, (v) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, under the other Financing Documents or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Sunlight Entity and any right to consent to any thereof, and (vi) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

NRG Member agrees that it will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by such Secured Party in connection with such rescission or restoration. This Section 2(f) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate any law applicable to NRG Member or any constitutive document or contractual obligation of NRG Member and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any law or any such contractual obligation, except, other than in the case of the constitutive documents, as could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of NRG Member to perform its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 5. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunity.

(a) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter

under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby may be brought in or removed to the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York or the District of Columbia, or, to the extent that such courts are not available or decline to accept jurisdiction over such legal action or proceeding, the State of New York, in and for the County of New York in respect of any actions brought against it as a defendant in any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, and hereby expressly and irrevocably accepts and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions, suits or proceedings, brought in any such court and hereby further waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought therein has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that any and all legal process may be served in any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any of the aforementioned courts by delivery of such process in the manner provided in Section 8, and such service shall be deemed to be effective service of process upon it in any such action, suit or proceeding.
