11.1.2 acquire, purchase, obtain or invest in any equity or other ownership interest of any other person engaged in the business of developing or constructing power generation projects (such business, the “Development or Construction Business”), except in connection with such acquisition, purchase or investment the Manager or a member of the Manager Group acquires, purchases or invests in, as applicable, at fair market value, all or the relevant part of such Development or Construction Business;

11.1.5 engage in the business of providing operating and maintenance services or asset management services for power generation projects or assets.

11.1.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing Section 11.1, Global and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall be able to negotiate, structure, sign definitive legal agreements, make milestone payments and finance the acquisition of development projects provided Global does not make any payments in connection with such project before the Construction Completion Date.

11.2 Non-Solicitation

Global agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, solicit or induce (or attempt to solicit or induce) any employees of the Manager to terminate his or her employment with the Manager.

11.3 Survival

ARTICLE 12.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Amendment, Waiver

12.1.1 Global is entitled to amend the scope of the Services, including by reducing the number of Service Recipients or the nature or description of the Services or otherwise, by providing 180 days’ prior written notice to the Manager; provided, however, that Global may not increase the scope of the Services without the Manager’s prior written consent; and provided further, however, that prior to such modification, Global and the Manager shall agree in writing to any modification of the Base Management Fee resulting from such change in scope. Subject to Section 10.2.3 hereof, in the event that Global and the Manager are unable to agree on a modified Base Management Fee, Global may terminate this Agreement after the end of such 180-day period by providing 30 days’ prior written notice to the Manager.

12.1.2 Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of this Agreement, except pursuant to the first sentence of Section 12.1 above, will be binding unless the prior approval of a majority of the members of the Independent Committee is obtained and the amendment or waiver is executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision nor will any waiver of any provision of this Agreement constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. A party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

 

 

24

---

12.2 Assignment

12.2.1 This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Manager without the prior written consent of Global, except (i) pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof or (ii) in the case of assignment to a Person that is the Manager’s successor by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, in which case the successor shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of the assignment in the same manner as the Manager is bound under this Agreement. In addition, provided that the Manager provides prior written notice to the Service Recipients for informational purposes only, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude any pledge, hypothecation or other transfer or assignment of the Manager’ rights under this Agreement, including any amounts payable to the Manager under this Agreement, to a bona fide lender as security.

12.2.2 This Agreement shall not be assigned by any of the Service Recipients without the prior written consent of the Manager, except in the case of assignment by any such Service Recipient to a Person that is its successor by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, in which case the successor shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of the assignment in the same manner as such Service Recipient is bound under this Agreement.

12.2.3 Any purported assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Article 12 shall be null and void.

12.3 Failure to Pay When Due

Any amount payable by any Service Recipient to any member of the Manager Group hereunder which is not remitted when so due will remain due (whether on demand or otherwise) and interest will accrue on such overdue amounts (both before and after judgment) at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate.

12.4 Invalidity of Provisions

Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties waive any provision of law which renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect. The parties will engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision which is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable provision which it replaces.
