FINANCE AGREEMENT

THIS FINANCE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 23, 2012 (this “Agreement”), is made by and between ORPOWER 4 INC., a limited liability company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and registered in the Republic of Kenya as a foreign company (the “Borrower”), and OVERSEAS PRIVATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION, an agency of the United States of America (“OPIC”).

The Borrower intends to design, construct, finance, furnish, install, test, commission, operate and own an integrated eighty-four (84) MW geothermal power generation facility located in Hell’s Gate National Park in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya (the “Project”), consisting of Plant 1, certain upgrades of Plant 1 and related infrastructure and Plant 2.

In connection therewith, the Borrower has requested that OPIC provide a credit facility pursuant to Section 234(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, which OPIC is willing to do on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing and of the agreements contained herein, it is agreed as follows:

(b) Tranche II Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, OPIC agrees to make, and the Borrower agrees to accept, a Tranche II Loan for the Project in a principal amount not to exceed one hundred eighty million Dollars ($180,000,000).

(c) Disbursement; Term. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may request a Disbursement by delivering to OPIC a Disbursement Request not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Disbursement of the Tranche I Loan and the first Disbursement of the Tranche II Loan shall be made no later than the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Each Disbursement shall be evidenced by a Note, dated the Closing Date, in the principal amount of the Disbursement and maturing on the applicable Note Maturity Date. The Tranche I Loan shall not exceed the amount of the Tranche I Commitment and the Tranche II Loan shall not exceed the amount of the Tranche II Commitment. Loan amounts repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

 

- 1 -


(d) Number and Amount of Disbursements.

(i) There shall be a single Disbursement of the Tranche I Loan in an amount not to exceed the Tranche I Commitment (the “Tranche I Disbursement”) which shall be made simultaneously with the first Disbursement of the Tranche II Loan;

(ii) There shall be no more than one (1) Disbursement of the Tranche II Loan in each fiscal quarter and no more than ten (10) total Disbursements of the Tranche II Loan (each, a “Tranche II Disbursement”). Except as set forth below, each Tranche II Disbursement shall be in an amount of not less than ten million Dollars ($10,000,000), in multiples of one hundred thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof, but in any event not greater than:

 

  (A) in the case of the first Tranche II Disbursement, one hundred thirty-five million Dollars ($135,000,000); and

 

  (B) in the case of each other Tranche II Disbursement, thirty-five million Dollars ($35,000,000); and

(e) Expansion Loan. Subject to terms and conditions to be agreed between the Borrower and OPIC in subsequent documentation (“Expansion Loan Documents”), OPIC will agree to make, and the Borrower will agree to accept, a loan (an “Expansion Loan”) in a principal amount not to exceed forty-five million Dollars ($45,000,000) to finance the development, construction and start-up operating costs of an up to 16 MW expansion of the Project.

SECTION 2.02. Interest; Default Interest.

(a) Payment of Interest; OPIC Note Interest Rate. On each Payment Date, (i) in the case of the Tranche I Loan, beginning on the Initial Payment Date and ending on the Tranche I Maturity Date and (ii) in the case of the Tranche II Loan, beginning on the Initial Payment Date and ending on the Tranche II Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the order of OPIC interest in arrears on the daily outstanding principal balance of each Note, less any amount of principal on which interest is payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.02(b), accrued at a rate per annum, subject to Section 2.02(c), equal to the sum of the following (subject to Section 2.02(c), the “OPIC Note Interest Rate” with respect to each Note):

 

  (i) the Certificate Interest Rate; and

 

  (ii) the OPIC Guaranty Fee.

(b) Default Rate. If the Borrower fails to pay when due any amount due to OPIC under any Financing Document, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such amount is due until the date on which such amount is paid in full.

(c) Adjustment to OPIC Note Interest Rate. If OPIC shall have made payment of any principal, interest or other guaranteed amount on account of a defaulted payment pursuant to OPIC’s guaranty under the Funding Documents under any Note (an “OPIC Guaranty Payment”), then, with respect to the amount of such OPIC Guaranty Payment, the OPIC Note Interest Rate from the date of such

 

- 2 -


OPIC Guaranty Payment to the date of payment in full to OPIC of the amount of such OPIC Guaranty Payment may, at OPIC’s option, be converted to a fixed per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the following:

 

  (i) The U.S. Treasury Cost; and

 

  (ii) The OPIC Guaranty Fee,

and, the Borrower shall, on demand, pay to OPIC the amount of such OPIC Guaranty Payment, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, adjusted as provided in this Section 2.02(c).

(d) Conversion of Weekly Rate Note. On the Conversion Date with respect to any Weekly Rate Note, the Borrower shall issue to OPIC one or more (as OPIC may specify) Fixed Rate Notes aggregating the principal amount of such Weekly Rate Note and dated the Conversion Date and OPIC shall return such Weekly Rate Note to the Borrower in exchange therefor. All Fixed Rate Notes in respect of the Tranche II Loan shall be issued for a term ending on or before the Tranche II Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.03. Repayment of the Loans.

The Borrower shall repay:

(a) the Tranche I Loan in seventy-three (73) approximately equal quarterly installments (collectively, the “Tranche I Principal Installments”) on each Payment Date beginning on the Initial Payment Date and ending no later than the Tranche I Maturity Date; and

(b) the Tranche II Loan in up to sixty-nine (69) approximately equal quarterly installments (collectively, the “Tranche II Principal Installments”) beginning on the Tranche II Initial Payment Date and ending no later than the Tranche II Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.04. Voluntary Prepayment.

Subject to the requirements of the Funding Documents, including payment of any Redemption Premium payable thereunder, on any Business Day following the last day of the Commitment Period, the Borrower may, upon not less than thirty (30) calendar days nor more than forty-five (45) calendar days prior notice to OPIC, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, in a minimum partial prepayment amount of five million Dollars ($5,000,000), together with the payment to OPIC of (a) interest accrued to the date of prepayment on the portion of the principal amount of each Note that is to be prepaid in the case of a prepayment on a Payment Date or a prepayment in whole, (b) the Redemption Premium (if applicable) and (c) a premium (the “Prepayment Premium”), calculated as a percentage of the Loan amount prepaid, in accordance with the following schedule:

- 3 -


SECTION 2.05. Mandatory Prepayment.

The Borrower shall prepay the Loans as follows and in the manner provided in the Funding Documents:

(a) in the event that the aggregate amount of property and casualty insurance proceeds or other compensation proceeds for loss or damage (excluding business interruption insurance proceeds) to an asset (including by expropriation or governmental action) received by the Borrower during any Fiscal Year (i) in excess of one million Dollars ($1,000,000) is not applied to the repair or replacement of assets insured thereby where such funds will be spent within one hundred-eighty (180) days (or such other longer period as OPIC may agree in its sole discretion) after receipt by the Borrower, in the amount of any amounts not so applied and (ii) equal to or less than one million Dollars ($1,000,000) if the Borrower has not certified to OPIC within thirty (30) days (or such other longer period as OPIC may agree in its sole discretion) after receipt by the Borrower that the Borrower’s failure to apply such amount to the repair or replacement of assets insured thereby will not impair the Project, result in a failure to meet Contracted Plant Capacity or a breach of any of the Borrower’s obligations under the Project Documents, in the amount of any amounts not so applied;

(b) in the event there are performance liquidated damages paid pursuant to the Supply Agreement or the Coordination Contract, in the amount of any such damages;

(c) in the event there is a purchase payment made by KPLC pursuant to Clause 10 of the PPA, in the amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Secured Obligations and (ii) such purchase payment;

(d) in the event there is a downward revision of the Contracted Plant Capacity (as contemplated in Clause 9.8A of the PPA, including following any repeated Contracted Plant Capacity Test conducted due to a failed Contracted Plant Capacity Test pursuant to the final sentence of Clause 9.10 of the PPA) such that the Contracted Plant Capacity following such downward revision is less than the Required Contracted Plant Capacity, by an amount sufficient to restore the projected ratio of Cash Flow to Debt Service to the projected level set forth in the then current Financial Model. Any prepayment under this clause (d) shall be made by utilizing funds on deposit in the Equity Sub-Account or in the Equity Distribution Account until the projected ratio of Cash Flow to Debt Service has been so restored; provided, that no mandatory prepayment shall be required to be made under this clause (d) if the projected ratio of Cash Flow to Debt Service in any year during the remaining term of the Loan is 1.7:1 or higher;

(e) unless otherwise agreed by OPIC, in the event the Borrower receives any Sale Proceeds (excluding proceeds from the Disposition of Certified Emissions Reductions pursuant to the CER Documents) in excess of two hundred and fifty thousand Dollars ($250,000) resulting from one or more Dispositions in any year of all or any part of the Property of the Borrower, in the amount of such Sale Proceeds; and

(f) in the event the Borrower receives any Termination Payment or Expropriation Proceeds, in the amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Secured Obligations and (ii) such Termination Payment or Expropriation Proceeds, as the case may be.

Prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be subject to any Redemption Premium or other amounts payable pursuant to the Funding Documents and shall be applied in the same manner as if made pursuant to Section 2.04 (Voluntary Prepayment), except that no Prepayment Premium shall be due. For purposes of Section 2.05(a), the prepayment shall be applied against payments due to OPIC taking into

 

- 4 -


account the Redemption Premium, if payable pursuant to the Funding Documents in connection with such prepayment.

SECTION 2.06. Loan Fees and Cancellation.

(a) Commitment Fee. During the applicable Commitment Period, the Borrower shall pay to OPIC, in arrears, on each Payment Date beginning on the first Payment Date after the date of this Agreement and on the last day of such Commitment Period, or, if earlier, the date this Agreement is terminated, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) accruing on a daily basis for each day of such Commitment Period at the rate of twenty-five hundredths of one percent (0.25%) per annum on an amount calculated for each day during the Commitment Period equal to the sum of the Tranche I Commitment and the Tranche II Commitment on such day.

(b) Cancellation Fee. The Borrower may cancel all or any part of the Commitments at any time upon written notice and payment to OPIC of a cancellation fee (the “Cancellation Fee”) equal to one percent (1.0%) of the amount of the Commitment canceled, provided that, with respect to the Tranche II Commitment, the Borrower demonstrates to OPIC’s satisfaction that there are sufficient funds available to construct and operate the Project. Any part of the Commitments not disbursed at the end of the applicable Commitment Period or that is terminated for any reason shall be deemed to have been canceled, and such Cancellation Fee shall be payable with respect thereto.

(c) Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay OPIC a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to seventy-five hundredths of one percent (0.75%) of the Commitments on or prior to the initial Closing Date.

(d) Maintenance Fee. The Borrower shall pay to OPIC an annual maintenance fee (the “Maintenance Fee”) in the amount of fifty thousand Dollars ($50,000) on the first anniversary of the Payment Date immediately following the first Closing Date and on each anniversary of such Payment Date for so long as any portion of the Loan remains outstanding.

(e) Modification Fee. In the event that the Borrower requests an amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document (including any restructuring under this Agreement or any other Financing Document) that relates to the term or the amortization of the Loans, the applicable OPIC Note Interest Rates, any fees due hereunder or thereunder, or any covenants, OPIC will consider such an amendment or waiver on its merits upon payment by the Borrower, at the time of such request, of a fee, determined by OPIC acting reasonably, commensurate with the complexity and timing constraints of such amendment or waiver (the “Modification Fee”); provided, however, that no Modification Fee will be required or payable if the amendment or waiver is necessary: (i) to correct an error or omission in any Financing Document, (ii) to comply with changes in Applicable Law, (iii) to address any matters related to the making of the Expansion Loan or the negotiation and preparation of the Expansion Loan Documents, or (iv) in OPIC’s determination, to improve the operations of the Project without materially altering the risks undertaken by OPIC. OPIC is under no obligation to agree to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document. The Borrower acknowledges that OPIC may request a Modification Fee in connection with restructurings of any kind or any prepayment requiring releases of collateral or other similar actions by OPIC; provided, however, that OPIC shall not request a Modification Fee and no Modification Fee shall be payable in connection with any repayment of the Loan in its entirety (whether as a result of a refinancing or otherwise). OPIC’s agreement in clause (iii) of the proviso above shall not prejudice OPIC’s ability to charge any other customary fee in connection with the making of the Expansion Loan or the negotiation and preparation of the Expansion Loan Documents.

 

- 5 -


SECTION 2.07. Tax Gross-Up; Stamp Duties; Proper Legal Form.

(a) All sums payable by the Borrower hereunder and under any other Financing Document shall be paid in full, free of any deductions or withholdings of any and all present and future Taxes. If the Borrower is required by Applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from or to withhold any Taxes in respect of any amount payable to OPIC hereunder or under any Financing Document, then the Borrower shall pay such additional amount as may be necessary so that the actual amount received by OPIC after such deductions or withholdings equals the full amount stated to be payable under the Financing Documents.

(b) In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 6.03(c) (Maintenance of Rights and Compliance with Laws), the Borrower shall pay before they become overdue any and all present and future Taxes payable on or in connection with the execution, delivery, registration, or notarization, or for the legality, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document directly to the Governmental Authority responsible for collecting such Taxes, except for any Taxes that the Borrower is contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with the Accounting Principles; provided, that the Borrower hereby indemnifies OPIC and holds OPIC harmless from and against any and all liabilities, fees, or additional expenses with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying, or omission to pay, any such Taxes. Within thirty (30) days after payment by the Borrower of any such Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish OPIC with the original or a Certified copy of the receipt evidencing payment thereof, together with any other information OPIC may reasonably request. OPIC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay any Taxes not paid by the Borrower and the Borrower shall, upon OPIC’s demand, promptly reimburse OPIC in full for all such payments.

SECTION 2.08. Miscellaneous.

(a) Payment or Reimbursement of Expenses. OPIC may retain such consultants as determined by OPIC to be necessary, including U.S. and local legal counsel, at any time until the Loans are indefeasibly repaid in full. Upon request, the Borrower shall promptly pay or reimburse OPIC for all of OPIC’s out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, notarization, recordation and implementation of the Financing Documents and, if applicable, the Expansion Loan Documents and the other documents, instruments and approvals required to be delivered thereunder, including (i) the reasonable fees and expenses of outside U.S. and local legal counsel and business consultants, and (ii) the costs of communications, preparation of any documents, authentication, registration, and recordation of any of the Financing Documents, preparation of bound volumes, dvds or cds of the Financing Documents for OPIC’s use, and termination of the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents. The Borrower shall also reimburse OPIC, upon demand, for all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs of travel) incurred by OPIC (A) in preserving in full force and effect, or enforcing its rights under, any of the Financing Documents or (B) in addition to the Modification Fee, in connection with the modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of any Financing Document.

(b) Currency and Place of Payment. All payments to OPIC shall be made in Dollars by wire transfer in immediately available funds without counterclaim, offset, or deduction:

(i) if to the Paying Agent, as provided for in the Funding Documents; or

(ii) to OPIC, formatted as described in Schedule 2.08.

Whenever any payment would otherwise fall due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for payment shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day, and interest and fees shall be computed

 

- 6 -


through such immediately succeeding Business Day in accordance with Section 2.08(c); provided, however, that the last payment shall include interest to but excluding the actual date of receipt of such payment.

(c) Computation of Interest on Notes and of Certain Fees. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Funding Documents or in any Note:

(i) interest on any Note (including interest calculated at any OPIC Note Interest Rate or the Default Rate) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be computed as provided therein;

(ii) the Commitment Fee and the Default Rate (as provided in Section 2.08(c)(i) above) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be computed on the basis of 360-day years composed of twelve (12) thirty (30)-day months.

(d) Application of Payments to OPIC. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Funding Documents or in any Note, payments received by OPIC under any of the Financing Documents shall be applied to amounts due to OPIC in such manner as OPIC in its sole discretion may determine.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

SECTION 3.01. Representations and Warranties.

The Borrower represents and warrants to OPIC that:

(a) Existence and Power. The Borrower (i) is a limited liability company duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation; (ii) is duly authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which it conducts business; and (iii) has the power to own its properties, carry on its business and the Project, borrow money, create Liens on its properties, and execute, deliver, and perform each of the Borrower Documents.

(b) Authority. The Borrower’s execution, delivery, and performance of each of the Borrower Documents: (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action; (ii) will not violate any Corrupt Practices Laws, Environmental Laws and Worker Rights Requirements or, in any material respect, any other Applicable Law; and (iii) will not breach, or result in the imposition of any Lien upon any of its assets (other than Permitted Liens) under, any of its Charter Documents or any agreement or other requirement by which it or any of its properties may be bound or affected. Each of the Borrower Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and is a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Except for Consents referred to in Schedule 4.04 (Consents), all of which have been or shall be duly obtained, taken, given or made on or prior to the time set forth therein, no Consent of any Person is required in connection with the Borrower’s execution, delivery, performance, validity, or enforceability of any of the Borrower Documents.

(c) Financial Condition. The Borrower’s audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, which have been furnished to OPIC and any other Financial Statements that have been furnished to OPIC pursuant to Section 6.06 (Financial Statements and Other Information), are complete and correct and fairly present its financial condition and results of its operations for the period then ended, subject, in the case of quarterly unaudited financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and customary year-end adjustments. The Borrower has no material financial obligation, contingent or otherwise, of any kind except as disclosed in such Financial Statements. No change has occurred in the

 

- 7 -


Borrower’s financial condition or prospects from that set forth in such Financial Statements that could be a Material Adverse Effect, and, since the date thereof, no dividend, Restricted Payment or Shareholder Payment has been declared or paid to the Shareholder or any other Person, except as permitted in Section 7.04 (Restricted Payments and Shareholder Payments) or, prior to the Cut-Off Date (except as set forth in Schedule 3.01(c)), as permitted under the Subordinated DFI Credit Agreements.

(d) Capitalization. (i) The Borrower’s issued share capital is as set forth on Schedule 3.01(d) (Capitalization). All such shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. There are no rights or claims of any character that restrict the transfer of, require the issuance of, or otherwise relate to any class of the Borrower’s shares other than (x) prior to the first Disbursement, as set forth in the DFI Share Pledge (as defined in Schedule Z) and (y) from and after the first Disbursement, as set forth in the Share Pledge. (ii) One hundred percent (100%) of the Borrower’s shares are directly owned by the Intermediate Shareholder and indirectly owned by the Shareholder in the manner set forth in Schedule 3.01(d) (Capitalization). The Borrower does not own or otherwise control any voting stock of, or have any ownership interest in, any other Person.

(e) Liens. The Security Documents are, or upon filing and registration will be, effective to create in favor of OPIC legal, valid, and enforceable first priority Liens (subject only to Permitted Liens) on all of the Borrower’s assets intended to be covered thereby. The Borrower does not have outstanding, nor is it contractually bound to create, any Lien on or with respect to any of its assets, rights, or revenues, except as permitted by Section 7.01 (Liens).

(f) Taxes and Reports. The Borrower has filed all tax returns and reports required by Applicable Law to be filed and has paid (or provided adequate reserves for) all Taxes due.

(g) Defaults. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Neither the Borrower nor, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, any other party is in breach of any provision of any contract to which the Borrower is a party, which breach could be a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Litigation. No action, suit, other legal or arbitral proceeding, or investigation is pending by or before any domestic or foreign court or Governmental Authority or in any arbitral or other forum or, to the best of its knowledge after due inquiry, is threatened in writing, that (i) relates to any of the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document, or (ii) if adversely determined, could be a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) Compliance with Law; Corrupt Practices; Anti-Money Laundering; Anti-Corruption Handbook.

(i) The Borrower has conducted and is conducting its business in compliance with (A) Corrupt Practices Laws, Environmental Laws and Worker Rights Requirements and (B) in all material respects, all other Applicable Laws, all Consents set forth on Part A of Schedule 4.04 (Consents) and its Charter Documents. Part A of Schedule 4.04 (Consents) sets forth each Consent necessary for the conduct of the Borrower’s business as presently conducted and that is required for the implementation of the Project and each such Consent has been obtained, or, in the case of the ERC Consent, will be clarified as described in Schedule 4.04 (Consents) prior to the first Disbursement of the Loans, by the Borrower and is, or, in the case of the ERC Consent, will be, in full force and effect. Part B of Schedule 4.04 (Consents) sets forth each Consent that is required to be obtained at a later date for the implementation of the Project and is ministerial in nature or is of a type that can reasonably be expected to be obtained, as required, in a timely fashion in the normal course of development and construction of the Project.

 

- 8 -


(ii) Without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, the Borrower and its officers, directors, employees, and agents have complied with applicable Corrupt Practices Laws in obtaining all Consents in respect of the Borrower’s business and the Project and are otherwise conducting the Project and the Borrower’s business in compliance with applicable Corrupt Practices Laws.

In the event that any payment by the Borrower in another currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in the payment of the amount of Dollars then due at the place such amount is due, OPIC shall be entitled to demand immediate payment of and shall have a separate cause of action against the Borrower for the additional amount necessary to yield the amount of Dollars then due.

SECTION 9.07. Severability.

The term “Potential Loss” shall mean any event, fact, condition, or circumstance that is reasonably likely to give rise to a Loss. The Borrower Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal with jurisdiction over the Loss and each Indemnified Person who has a Loss or Costs of Defense in connection therewith renders a final determination that the Loss or Costs of Defense resulted from (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person, or (b) the failure of OPIC to perform any act required of it relating to the Loans or otherwise under any Financing Document. The Borrower Indemnity is independent of and in addition to (i) any rights of any party hereto in connection with any Loss or Costs of Defense, and (ii) any other agreement, and shall survive the execution, modification, and amendment of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, the expiration, cancellation, or termination of the Commitments, the disbursement and repayment of the Loans, and the provisions of any other indemnity. Any exclusion of an obligation to pay any amount under this Section shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other Section hereof or under any other agreement.

In exercising the right and power to control his, her, or its actions in connection with a Loss or Potential Loss, including a decision to settle any such Loss, each Indemnified Person shall, taking into account the nature and policies of such Indemnified Person (I) consult with the Borrower, and (II) act as such Indemnified Person would act if the Costs of Defense or settlement were to be paid by such Indemnified Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Indemnified Person is an express, third-party beneficiary of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 9.10.
