NOTE 1GENERAL AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Ormat Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and the condensed consolidated statements of equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The financial data and other information disclosed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these financial statements are rounded to the closest \$1,000.

COVID-19 consideration

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic. Since that time through the date of this report, the Company has implemented significant measures in order to meet government requirements and preserve the health and safety of its employees, including by working remotely when needed and adopting separate shifts from time to time in its power plants, manufacturing facilities and other locations while at the same time trying to continue operations at close to full capacity in all locations. Since the end of the first quarter of 2021, the Company has experienced, on the one hand, an easing of government restrictions in a number of countries, including in Israel, and on the other hand, a tightening of restrictions in other countries, such as Kenya and Indonesia. The uncertainty around the impact of COVID-19 is expected to continue. With respect to its employees, the Company has not laid-off or furloughed any employees due to COVID-19 and has continued to pay full salaries. In addition, the Company focused efforts on adjusting its operations to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 including managing its global supply chain risks and enhancing its liquidity profile. The Company took prompt steps to manage its expenses including responsible cost cutting measures and in addition, in order to support its capital expenditure and growth plans, the Company raised \$419.3 million through long term loans and \$339.5 million through a public offering of its common stock in 2020 and more recently, in July 2021, signed two new corporate debt facilities for a total amount of \$175.0 million, as further discussed under Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As most of the Company's electricity revenues are generated under long term contracts, the majority of which are under a fixed energy rate, the impact of COVID-19 on electricity revenues was limited. Nevertheless, the Company experienced a higher rate of curtailments during 2020 from KPLC in respect of its Olkaria complex and continued to experience certain curtailments in the first half of 2021. In the Product segment, the Company experienced a significant decline in product backlog, which it believes resulted mainly due to the impact of COVID-19 and the unwillingness of potential customers to enter into new commitments at this time. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company started to see a limited recovery that led to an increase in the backlog.

In the Energy Storage segment, revenues are generated primarily from participating in the energy and ancillary services markets and therefore are directly impacted by the prevailing energy prices in those markets.

While the extent and duration of the economic downturn from the COVID-19 pandemic remains unclear, the Company has considered, among other things, whether the global operational disruptions indicate a change in circumstances that may trigger asset impairments and whether it needs to revisit accounting estimates and projections or its expectations about collectability of receivables. Additionally, the Company has considered the potential impacts on its fair value disclosures and on its internal control over financial reporting and while significant uncertainty still exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, the Company has determined that there was no triggering event for an impairment with respect to any of its assets nor has there been an adverse change in the probability related to the collectability of its receivables. The Company continues to assess the potential impact of the global economic situation on its consolidated financial statements.

Puna Power Plant

On May 3, 2018, the Kilauea volcano located in close proximity to the Company's 38 MW Puna geothermal power plant in the Puna district of Hawaii's Big Island erupted following a significant increase in seismic activity in the area. Before it stopped flowing, the lava covered the wellheads of three geothermal wells, monitoring wells and the substation of the Puna complex and an adjacent warehouse that stored a drilling rig that was also consumed by the lava. The insurance policy coverage for property and business interruption is provided by a consortium of insurers some of which denied the full amount of our claim asserting that our insurance policy has coverage limitations. The Company has filed a lawsuit against those insurers that have not accepted its insurance claim. During the first and second quarters of 2021, the Company did not recognize any insurance income.

The Puna power plant resumed operations in November 2020 following a shut down period as a result of the damage caused by the volcano eruption and during the second quarter of 2021 operated at approximately 25 MW. Recently, the Company completed repair work to a bottoming turbine which increased generating capacity to approximately 28MW. The Company expects the Puna complex to generate approximately 30 MW by the end of 2021. In order to resume operations at full capacity, the Company plans to drill additional wells.

In December 2019, Puna Geothermal Venture ("PGV") and Hawaii Electric Light Company's ("HELCO") subsidiary reached an agreement on an amended and restated power purchase agreement ("PPA") for dispatchable geothermal power to be sold from the Puna complex. The new PPA, which is subject to Public Utility Commission ("PUC") approval, extends the term until 2052 with an increased contract capacity of 46 MW and fixes the price with no escalation, regardless of changes to fossil fuel pricing. On March 31, 2021, the PUC issued an order suspending the request to approve the PPA application until an environmental review is conducted on the proposed repowering, and ordered the parties to renegotiate the PPA rates. HELCO and PGV have filed motions, which are pending, for reconsideration of the order with the PUC. The existing PPA remains in effect, with its current terms, until the expansion is completed and the repowered plant reaches its Commercial Operation Date ("COD").

The Company continues to assess the accounting implications of these events on its assets and liabilities and whether any related assets may be impaired. As of June 30, 2021, the Company assessed that no impairment was required.

February power crisis in Texas

In February 2021, extreme weather conditions in Texas resulted in a significant increase in demand for electricity on the one hand and a decrease in electricity supply in the region on the other hand. On February 15, 2021, the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas ("ERCOT") issued an Energy Emergency Alert Level 3 ("EEA 3") prompting rotating outages in Texas. This ultimately led to a significant increase in the Responsive Reserve Service ("RRS") market prices, where the Company operates its Rabbit Hill battery energy storage facility which provides ancillary services and energy optimization to the wholesale markets managed by ERCOT. Due to the electricity supply shortage, ERCOT restricted battery charging in the Rabbit Hill facility from February 16, 2021 to February 19, 2021, resulting in a limited ability of the Rabbit Hill storage facility to provide RRS. As a result, the Company incurred losses of approximately \$9.1 million, net of associated revenues, from a hedge transaction in relation to its inability to provide RRS during that period. Starting February 19, 2021, the Rabbit Hill energy storage facility resumed operation at full capacity.

In addition, the Company recorded a provision for approximately \$3.0 million for receivables related to imbalance charges from the grid operator in respect of its demand response operation as it estimated it is probable it may be unable to collect such receivables. The provision for uncollectible receivables is included in "General and administrative expenses" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the first quarter of 2021.

The Company has filed billing disputes with ERCOT related to some of the imbalance charges and revenue allocated to its Demand Response services and customers, the outcome of which may impact the final amount.

Write-offs of unsuccessful exploration activities

There were no write-offs of unsuccessful exploration activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Total Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents \$ 329,877 \$ 536,778 \$ 249,834

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments, marketable securities and accounts receivable.

The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions located in the United States ("U.S.") and in foreign countries. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had deposits totaling \$22.8 million and \$18.9 million, respectively, in ten U.S. financial institutions that were federally insured up to \$250,000 per account. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company's deposits in foreign countries amounted to approximately \$64.3 million and \$72.4 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accounts receivable related to operations in foreign countries amounted to approximately \$104.5 million and \$111.3 million, respectively. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accounts receivable from the Company's primary customers, which each accounted for revenues in excess of 10% of total consolidated revenues for the related period, amounted to approximately 60% and 65% of the Company's trade receivables, respectively.

The Company's revenues from its primary customers as a percentage of total revenues are as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company 19.5% 17.2% 20.3% 18.3%
Southern California Public Power Authority ("SCPPA") 25.5 20.3 25.2 19.5
Kenya Power and Lighting Co. Ltd. ("KPLC") 17.3 16.0 16.4 15.7

The Company has historically been able to collect on substantially all of its receivable balances. As of June 30, 2021, the amount overdue from KPLC in Kenya was \$43.5 million of which \$13.2 million was paid during July 2021. These amounts represent an average of 77.2 days overdue. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Kenya. This belief is supported by the fact that in addition to KPLC's obligations under its power purchase agreement, the Company holds a support letter from the Government of Kenya that covers certain cases of KPLC non-payment (such as where caused by government actions/political events). Additionally, the Company continued to experience certain curtailments in the first and second quarters of 2021 by KPLC in the Olkaria complex. The impact of the curtailments is limited as the structure of the PPA secures the vast majority of the Company's revenues with fixed capacity payments unrelated to the electricity actually generated.

In Honduras, as of June 30, 2021, the total amount overdue from ENEE was \$7.4 million, none of which was received in July 2021. In addition, due to continuing restrictive measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic in Honduras, the Company may experience additional delays in collection. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Honduras.

The Company may experience delays in collection in other locations due to the restrictive measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic which were imposed globally to different extents.

See Note 4 - Marketable Securities and under the caption "Marketable Securities" below for additional information regarding investment in marketable securities.

Allowance for credit losses

The Company performs an analysis of potential credit losses related to its financial instruments that are within the scope of ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 325, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, investment in marketable securities, receivables (excluding those accounted under lease accounting) and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, based on class of financing receivables which share the same or similar risk characteristics such as customer type and geographic location, among others. The Company estimates the expected credit losses for each class of financing receivables by applying the related corporate default rate which corresponds to the credit rating of the specific customer or class of financing receivables. For trade receivables, the Company applied this methodology using aging schedules reflecting how long the receivables have been outstanding. The Company has also considered the existence of credit enhancement arrangements that may mitigate the credit risk of its financial receivables in estimating the applicable corporate default rate. While significant uncertainty still exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, the Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted.

The following table describes the changes in the allowance for expected credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (all related to trade receivables):

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,

Revenues from contracts with customers

Contract assets related to our Product segment reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities related to the Company's Product segment reflect payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. The Company receives payments from customers based on the terms established in the contracts. Total contract assets and contract liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

June 30,

(*) Contract assets and contract liabilities are presented as "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" and "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts", respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was not yet recognized as product revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of performance obligations having not been satisfied yet.

On June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately \$58.6 million of remaining performance obligations not yet satisfied or partly satisfied related to our Product segment. The Company expects to recognize approximately 100% of this amount as Product revenues during the next 24 months.

Disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are disclosed under Note 9 - Business Segments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Marketable securities

The Company's investments in marketable securities consist of debt securities with maturity of up to one year and a high credit rating. The investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") and thus measured at fair value based on quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses from AFS debt securities are excluded from earnings and reported net of the related tax effect in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)". Realized gains and losses from sale of marketable securities, as determined on a specific identification basis, as well as interest income earned, are included in earnings. The Company considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairments of its investments, including credit market conditions, credit ratings of the security as well as the duration and extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost. The Company estimates the lifetime expected credit losses for all AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position under its allowance for credit losses model. The Company assesses the security's credit indicators, including credit ratings when estimating a security's probability of default. If the assessment indicates that an expected credit loss exists, the Company determines the portion of the unrealized loss attributable to credit deterioration and records an allowance for the expected credit loss in earnings. Unrealized gains and losses attributable to non-credit factors are recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)", net of tax. Marketable debt securities with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash are presented under "Cash and cash equivalents" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) are measured at their fair value and recorded as either assets or liabilities unless exempted from derivative treatment as a normal purchase and sale. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments are initially recorded in "Other comprehensive income (loss)" and a corresponding amount is reclassified out of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" to earnings to offset the remeasurement of the underlying hedge transaction which also impacts the same line item in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The Company maintains a risk management strategy that may incorporate the use of swap contracts, put options, forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, and cross-currency swaps to minimize significant fluctuation in cash flows and/or earnings that are caused by oil and natural gas prices, exchange rate or interest rate volatility.

NOTE 2NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

NOTE 5FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon selling an asset or paid upon transferring a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The following table sets forth certain fair value information at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy, as well as cost or amortized cost. As required by the fair value measurement guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(1) The foregoing currency forward and price swap transactions were not designated as hedge transactions and were marked to market with the corresponding gains or losses recognized within "Derivatives and foreign currency transaction gains (losses)" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The price swap transaction was related to a hedging agreement with a third party that was effective January 1, 2021 under which the Company fixed the price per MWh on a portion of RRS provided by its Rabbit Hill storage facility, as described under Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The price swap transaction was terminated effective April 1, 2021.

(2) The foregoing cross currency swap transactions were designated as a cash flow hedge as further described under note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The changes in the cross currency swap fair value are initially recorded in "Other comprehensive income (loss)" and a corresponding amount is reclassified out of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" to "Derivatives and foreign currency transaction gains (losses)" to offset the remeasurement of the underlying hedged transaction which also impacts the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021:

The fair value of the long-term debt is determined by a valuation model, which is based on a conventional discounted cash flow methodology and utilizes assumptions of current borrowing rates. The fair value of revolving lines of credit is determined using a comparison of market-based price sources that are reflective of similar credit ratings to those of the Company.

As disclosed above under Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a global economic downturn and market volatility that may have an impact on the estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt as the global economic situation evolves.

The carrying value of financial instruments such as revolving lines of credit and deposits approximates fair value.

2021 2020 2021 2020
(Dollars in thousands) (Dollars in thousands)
Interest related to sale of tax benefits \$ 2,545 \$ 2,500 \$ 4,938 \$ 4,824

Total interest expense, net \$ 18,626 \$ 19,785 \$ 37,642 \$ 37,058

NOTE 8EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share attributable to the Company's stockholders is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to the Company's stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company does not have any equity instruments that are dilutive, except for employee stock-based awards.

The table below shows the reconciliation of the number of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2021 2020
2021
2020
Weighted average number of shares used in computation of basic earnings per share: 55,992 51,043 55,990 51,040
Additional shares from the assumed exercise of employee stock awards 324 319 512 408
Weighted average number of shares used in computation of diluted earnings per share 56,316 51,362 56,502 51,448

The number of stock-based awards that could potentially dilute future earnings per share and that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive was 174.1 thousand and 141.3 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and 16.0 thousand and 132.9 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

NOTE 9BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has three reporting segments: the Electricity segment, the Product segment and the Energy Storage segment. These segments are managed and reported separately as each offers different products and serves different markets.

  • Under the Electricity segment, the Company builds, owns and operates geothermal, solar PV and recovered energy-based ("REG") power plants in the United States and geothermal power plants in other countries around the world and sell the electricity they generate.
  • Under the Product segment, the Company designs, manufactures and sells equipment for geothermal and recovered energy-based electricity generation and remote power units and provide services relating to the engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") of geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants.
  • Under the Energy Storage segment, the Company provides energy storage and related services as well as services relating to the engineering, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance of energy storage units. To better reflect the significant business activities under this reporting segment, the Company renamed this reporting segment to be "Energy Storage" starting the fourth quarter of 2020. There was no change to the business units reported under this segment.

Transfer prices between the operating segments are determined based on current market values or cost-plus markup of the seller's business segment.

Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments is shown in the following tables, including the Company's disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers:

NOTE 10COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  • On May 21, 2018, a motion to certify a class action was filed in Tel Aviv District Court against Ormat Technologies, Inc. and 11 officers and directors. The alleged class is defined as "All persons who purchased Ormat shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange between August 3, 2017 and May 13, 2018". The motion alleges that the Company and other respondents violated Sections 31(a)(1) and 38C of the Israeli Securities Law, and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, because they allegedly: (1) misled investors by stating in the Company's financial statements that it maintains effective internal controls over its accounting policies and procedures, even though the Company's internal controls had material weaknesses which led to erroneous accounting in its 2017 unaudited quarterly reports that had to be restated, including adjustments to the Company's net income and shareholders' equity; and (2) failed to issue an immediate report in Israel until May 16, 2018, analogous to the report that was released in the United States on May 11, 2018 stating, inter alia, that the errors in its financial reports affected its balance sheet and would be remedied in its 2017 annual report. Agreed motions were filed from time to time with, and granted by, the Tel Aviv District Court to stay the proceedings in Israel in light of the United States case (Mac Costas). On June 30, 2020, pursuant to the execution and submission of a settlement agreement to the United States court for approval, which resolves the matters raised with respect to the entire class of shareholders (whether traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange or U.S. stock exchange), the Company filed a motion informing the Tel Aviv court of the settlement. On March 3, 2021, the Tel Aviv District Court approved the parties' joint motion for withdrawal and dismissal of the plaintiff's July 2, 2020 motion for an Anti-Suit Injunction and issued an order to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange members executing the settlement. The final settlement was concluded with the payment of an immaterial amount by the Company.
  • On June 11, 2018, a putative class action filed by Mac Costas on behalf of alleged shareholders that purchased or acquired the Company's ordinary shares between August 8, 2017 and May 15, 2018 was commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which was subsequently amended by a consolidated complaint filed by lead plaintiff Phoenix Insurance in May 13, 2019. The complaint asserts claim against all defendants pursuant to Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and against its officers pursuant to Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint alleges that the Company's Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, and Form 10-Qs for each of the quarters in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 contained material misstatements or omissions, among other things, with respect to the Company's tax provisions and the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, and that, as a result of such alleged misstatements and omissions, the plaintiffs suffered damages. On December 6, 2019 the Company's motion to dismiss was denied by the court. On March 23, 2020, pursuant to out of court mediation, a term sheet for a proposed settlement of the action without admission of liability or wrongdoing, was signed between the parties and on June 10, 2020, a joint stipulation and motion for preliminary approval of the comprehensive executed settlement documentation was filed for the court for approval. On January 21, 2021, the Court issued its Order and Final Judgement certifying the Class, approving the method of notification of the settlement pursued, and approving the final settlement and proposed Plan of Allocation as well as the plaintiff attorneys' and plaintiff's awards. The final settlement was concluded with the payment of an immaterial amount by the Company.
  • On September 11, 2018, the Klein derivative action (Klein Action) was filed against the Company, our board and its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, and on October 22, 2018, the Matthew derivative action (Matthew Action) was filed against the Company, certain named present and former board members (Barniv, Beck, Boehm, Clark, Falk, Freeland, Granot, Joyal, Nishigori, Sharir, Stern and Wong) in the United States District Court, District of Nevada. The Klein complaint asserts four derivative causes of action generally arising from Ormat's restatement of its financial statements: (i) the individual defendants allegedly breached their fiduciary duties by allowing the Company to improperly report its financials; (ii) the individual defendants allegedly were unjustly enriched by being compensated while breaching their fiduciary duties; (iii) the individual defendants allegedly committed corporate waste in paying officers and directors and by incurring legal costs and potential liability; and (iv) the director defendants allegedly breached Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act in connection with the issuance of the 2018 proxy. The Matthew complaint similarly alleges derivatively a breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and corporate waste by the named directors. On January 24, 2019, the Nevada Court entered an order consolidating the Klein Action and Matthew Action. On July 10, 2020, a comprehensive settlement package and derivative stipulation of settlement was submitted to the court, and on October 12, 2020, plaintiff filed an unopposed motion to the Nevada Court requesting preliminary approval of the corporate governance enhancement settlement. On November 24, 2020, the Court issued its order preliminarily approving the derivative settlement and providing notice for a final settlement hearing on March 22, 2021. On March 29, 2021, the Court signed its Order Approving Derivative Settlement and Order of Dismissal with Prejudice and closed the matter. The final settlement was concluded with the payment of an immaterial amount by the Company.

  • On March 29, 2016, a former local sales representative in Chile, Aquavant, S.A., filed a claim on the basis of unjust enrichment against Ormat's subsidiaries in the 27th Civil Court of Santiago, Chile. The claim requests that the court order Ormat to pay Aquavant \$4.6 million in connection with its activities in Chile, including the EPC contract for the Cerro Pabellon project and various geothermal concessions, plus 3.75% of Ormat geothermal products sales in Chile over the next 10 years. Pursuant to various motions submitted by the defendants and the plaintiffs to various courts, including the Court of Appeals, the case was removed from the original court and then refiled before the 11th Civil Court of Santiago. On April 16, 2020, the 11th Civil Court of Santiago issued its order rejecting Plaintiff's principal claim of unjust enrichment, as an improper cause of action, rejecting plaintiff's secondary claim for declaratory judgment, which the Court associates with the principal claim of unjust enrichment and not relating to a number of defenses raised by the Company. In May 2020, each of the parties filed separately to the court of appeals, which are pending. On October 19, 2020, the Court of Appeals dismissed all ancillary appeals on procedural issues filed by Aquavant as well as two ancillary appeals on procedural issues filed by the Company. The Company considers it has strong legal defenses and the probability of the claimant receiving an award is low. The potential amount that the Company may bear in this context cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

  • On March 3, 2021, a claim and motion to certify a class action was filed in the Tel Aviv District Court (Economic Division) on behalf of Avishai Shmuel Mano against Ormat Technologies Inc. and 23 additional named respondents, who include existing and former directors and officers of the Company. On July 1, 2021, the court accepted plaintiff's motion to withdraw the claim against the named foreign respondents, retaining only the claim against the Company and the named present and former directors and officers who are domiciled in Israel. The claim seeks economic damages of approximately \$100 million purportedly caused to shareholders by defendants' alleged inaccurate reporting and provision of misleading information to the public in breach of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, based on claims made in a report published by short-seller Hindenburg Research on March 1, 2021. The Company considers it has strong legal defenses and the probability of the claimant receiving an award is low. The potential amount that the Company may bear in this context cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

In addition, from time to time, the Company is named as a party to various other lawsuits, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of the Company's business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, the Company accrues reserves when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. It is the opinion of the Company's management that the outcome of these proceedings, individually and collectively, will not be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Other matters

On March 2, 2021, the Company's board of directors established a Special Committee of independent directors to investigate, among other things, certain claims made in a report published by a short seller regarding the Company's compliance with anti-corruption laws. The Special Committee is working with outside legal counsel to investigate the claims made. All members of the Special Committee are "independent" in accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, the NYSE listing standards and SEC rules applicable to board of directors in general. The Company is also providing information as requested by the SEC and Department of Justice ("DOJ") related to the claims.

NOTE 11INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate provision (benefit) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 22.6% and 33.3%, respectively, and 18.6% and 35.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the jurisdictional mix of earnings at differing tax rates, movement in the valuation allowance and generation of production tax credits.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States provides relief on deferral of tax payments and filings, modifies the net operating loss utilization rules, and temporarily increases the interest expense deduction allowed. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, there were no material tax impacts to our consolidated financial statements as it relates to the CARES Act or other COVID-19 stimulus measures. The Company will continue to monitor additional guidance issued by Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities.

NOTE 12SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Cash Dividend

On August 4, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company declared, approved and authorized payment of a quarterly dividend of \$6.7 million (\$0.12 per share) to all holders of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock on August 18, 2021, payable on September 1, 2021.

Geothermal assets purchase transaction

On July 14, 2021, the Company closed a transaction with TG Geothermal Portfolio, LLC (a subsidiary of Terra-Gen, LLC) to acquire two contracted geothermal assets in Nevada with a total net generating capacity of 67.5 MW, a greenfield development asset adjacent to one of the plants, and an underutilized transmission line. The Company paid approximately \$171 million (excluding working capital and assumed cash, which are subject to final audit) for 100% of the equity interests and assumed debt and associated lease obligations with a book value of approximately \$206 million as of June 30, 2021. The two contracted geothermal assets include the Dixie Valley and Beowawe geothermal power plants which sell power under existing power purchase agreements with Southern California Edison under a long term PPA expiring in 2038 and with NV Power, Inc. under a PPA expiring in December 2025, respectively.

The Company will account for the transaction under ASC 805, Business Combinations and is currently evaluating the accounting related to the transaction. The Company expects to consolidate acquired assets in its consolidated financial statements starting at the acquisition date.

Hapoalim loan

On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive loan agreement (the "Hapoalim Loan Agreement") with Bank Hapoalim B.M. (the "Bank Hapoalim"). The Hapoalim Loan Agreement provides for a loan by Bank Hapoalim to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of \$125 million (the "Hapoalim Loan"). The outstanding principal amount of the Hapoalim Loan will be repaid in 14 semi-annual payments of \$8.9 million each, commencing on December 12, 2021. The duration of the Hapoalim Loan is 7 years. The Hapoalim Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.45% per annum, payable semi-annually.

The Hapoalim Loan Agreement includes various affirmative and negative covenants, including a requirement that the Company maintain (i) a financial debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio not to exceed 6, (ii) a minimum equity capital amount (as shown on its consolidated financial statements) of not less than \$750 million, and (iii) an equity capital to total assets ratio of not less than 25%.

The Hapoalim Loan Agreement includes other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including payment and covenant events of default.

HSBC loan

On July 15, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive loan agreement (the "HSBC Loan Agreement") with HSBC Bank PLC. (the "HSBC Bank"). The HSBC Loan Agreement provides for a loan by HSBC Bank to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of \$50 million (the " HSBC Loan"). The outstanding principal amount of the HSBC Loan will be repaid in 14 semi-annual payments of \$3.6 million each, commencing on January 19, 2022. The duration of the HSBC Loan is 7 years. The HSBC Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.45% per annum, payable semi-annually.

The HSBC Loan Agreement includes various affirmative and negative covenants, including a requirement that the Company maintain (i) a financial debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio not to exceed 6, (ii) a minimum equity capital amount (as shown on its consolidated financial statements) of not less than \$750 million, and (iii) an equity capital to total assets ratio of not less than 25%.

The HSBC Loan Agreement includes other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including payment and covenant events of default.

The proceeds from the Hapoalim Loan and the HSBC Loan were used to pay for the purchase of the geothermal assets portfolio from TG Geothermal Portfolio, LLC as described above.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this quarterly report that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such matters as our projections of annual revenues, expenses and debt service coverage with respect to our debt securities, future capital expenditures, business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, development or operation of generation assets, market and industry developments and the growth of our business and operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the words "may", "will", "could", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "projects", "potential", or "contemplate" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words or expressions. The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report are primarily located in the material set forth under the headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", "Risk Factors", and "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements", but are found in other locations as well. These forward-looking statements generally relate to our plans, objectives and expectations for future operations and are based upon management's current estimates and projections of future results or trends. Although we believe that our plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we may not achieve these plans or objectives. You should read this quarterly report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that actual future results and developments may be materially different from what we expect attributable to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control.

Summary of the risks that might cause actual results to differ from our expectations include, but are not limited to the following:

Risks Related to the Company's Business and Operation

  • Our financial performance depends on the successful operation of our geothermal and REG power plants, which are subject to various operational risks.
  • Our exploration, development, and operation of geothermal energy resources are subject to geological risks and uncertainties, which may result in decreased performance or increased costs for our power plants.
  • We may experience a cyber incident, cyber security breach, severe natural event or physical attack on our operational networks and information technology systems.
  • We may decide not to implement, or may not be successful in implementing, one or more elements of our multi-year strategic plan, and the plan may not achieve its goal of enhancing shareholder value.
  • Concentration of customers, specific projects and regions may expose us to heightened financial exposure.
  • Our international operations expose us to risks related to the application of foreign laws and regulations, political or economic instability and major hostilities or acts of terrorism.
  • Political, economic and other conditions in the emerging economies where we operate may subject us to greater risk than in the developed U.S. economy.
  • Conditions in and around Israel, where the majority of our senior management and our main production and manufacturing facilities are located, may adversely affect our operations and may limit our ability to produce and sell our products or manage our power plants.
  • Reduction in our Products backlog may affect our ability to fully utilize our main production and manufacturing facilities.
  • Some of our leases will terminate if we do not extract geothermal resources in "commercial quantities", thus requiring us to enter into new leases or secure rights to alternate geothermal resources, none of which may be available on terms as favorable to us as any such terminated lease, if at all.
  • Our BLM leases may be terminated if we fail to comply with any of the provisions of the Geothermal Steam Act or if we fail to comply with the terms or stipulations of such leases.
  • Some of our leases (or subleases) could terminate if the lessor (or sublessor) under any such lease (or sublease) defaults on any debt secured by the relevant property, thus terminating our rights to access the underlying geothermal resources at that location.
  • Reduced levels of recovered energy required for the operation of our REG power plants may result in decreased performance of such power plants.

  • Our business development activities may not be successful and our projects under construction may not commence operation as scheduled.
  • Our future growth depends, in part, on the successful enhancement of a number of our existing facilities.
  • We rely on power transmission facilities that we do not own or control.
  • Our use of joint ventures may limit our flexibility with jointly owned investments.
  • Our operations could be adversely impacted by climate change.
  • Geothermal projects that we plan to develop in the future, may operate as "merchant" facilities without long-term PPAs and therefore such projects will be exposed to market fluctuations.
  • Storage projects that we are operating, currently developing or plan to develop in the future, may operate as "merchant" facilities without long-term power services agreements for some or all of their generating capacity and output and therefore such projects will be exposed to market fluctuations.
  • We may not be able to successfully conclude the transactions, integrate companies, which we acquired and may acquire in the future.
  • The power generation industry is characterized by intense competition.
  • We face increasing competition from other companies engaged in energy storage and the combination of solar and energy storage.
  • Changes in costs and technology may significantly impact our business by making our power plants and products less competitive, resulting in our inability to sign new PPAs for our Electricity segment and new supply and EPC contracts for our Products segment.
  • Our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to protect our business.
  • We may experience difficulties implementing and maintaining our new enterprise resource planning system.

Risks Related to Governmental Regulations, Laws and Taxation

  • Our financial performance could be adversely affected by changes in the legal and regulatory environment affecting our operations.
  • Pursuant to the terms of some of our PPAs with investor-owned electric utilities and publicly-owned electric utilities in states that have renewable portfolio standards, the failure to supply the contracted capacity and energy thereunder may result in the imposition of penalties.
  • If any of our domestic power plants loses its current Qualifying Facility status under PURPA, or if amendments to PURPA are enacted that substantially reduce the benefits currently afforded to Qualifying Facilities, our domestic operations could be adversely affected.
  • We may experience a reduction or elimination of government incentives.
  • We are a holding company and our cash depends substantially on the performance of our subsidiaries and the power plants they operate, most of which are subject to restrictions and taxation on dividends and distributions.
  • The costs of compliance with federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and our ability in obtaining and maintaining environmental permits and governmental approvals required for development, construction and/or operation may result in liabilities, costs and delays in construction (as well as any fines or penalties that may be imposed upon us in the event of any non-compliance or delays with such laws or regulations).
  • We could be exposed to significant liability for violations of hazardous substances laws because of the use or presence of such substances at our power plants.

General

Overview

We are a leading vertically integrated company that is primarily engaged in the geothermal and recovered energy power businesses. We leveraged our core capabilities and global presence to expand our activity into different energy storage services and solar photovoltaic (PV), including hybrid geothermal and solar PV as well as energy storage plus Solar PV. Our objective is to become a leading global provider of renewable energy and we have adopted a strategic plan to focus on several key initiatives to expand our business.

We currently conduct our business activities in three business segments:

  • Electricity Segment. In the Electricity segment, which contributed 91.1% of our total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2021, we develop, build, own and operate geothermal, solar PV and recovered energy-based power plants in the United States and geothermal power plants in other countries around the world and sell the electricity they generate. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, we derived 65.4% of our Electricity segment revenues from our operations in the United States and 34.6% from the rest of the world.
  • Product Segment. In the Product segment, which contributed 5.0% of our total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2021, we design, manufacture and sell equipment for geothermal and recovered energy-based electricity generation and remote power units and provide services relating to the engineering, procurement and construction of geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, we derived 8.7% of our Product segment revenues from our operations in the United States and 91.3% from the rest of the world.
  • Energy Storage Segment. In the Energy Storage segment, which contributed 3.8% of our total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2021, we mainly provide energy storage related services as well as services relating to the engineering, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance of energy storage units. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, we derived all of our Energy Storage segment revenues from our operations in the United States.

Our current approximately 1.1 GW generating portfolio includes geothermal power plants in the United States, Kenya, Guatemala, Honduras, Guadeloupe and Indonesia, as well as storage facilities, recovered energy generation and Solar PV power plants in the United States.

We continue to examine a range of potential acquisitions and investments around the world as part of our growth strategy. Our most recent acquisition was the TG Geothermal Portfolio, LLC (a subsidiary of Terra-Gen, LLC) that owns two contracted geothermal assets in Nevada with a total net generating capacity of 67.5 MW, a greenfield development asset in California, and an underutilized transmission line. We paid \$171 million in cash (excluding working capital and assumed cash, which are subject to final audit) for 100% of the equity interests in a portfolio of entities and assumed debt and associated lease obligations of approximately \$206 million book value as of June 30, 2021.

COVID 19 Update

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic. Since that time through the date of this report, the Company has implemented significant measures in order to meet government requirements and preserve the health and safety of its employees, including by working remotely when needed and adopting separate shifts from time to time in its power plants, manufacturing facilities and other locations while at the same time trying to continue operations at close to full capacity in all locations. Since the end of the first quarter of 2021, the Company has experienced, on the one hand, an easing of government restrictions in a number of countries, including in Israel, and on the other hand, a tightening of restrictions in other countries, such as Kenya and Indonesia. The uncertainty around the impact of COVID-19 is expected to continue. With respect to its employees, the Company has not laid-off or furloughed any employees due to COVID-19 and has continued to pay full salaries.

We experienced the following impacts on our segment operations:

• In our Electricity segment, almost all of our revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2021 were generated under long term contracts and the majority of contracts have a fixed energy rate. As a result, despite logistical and other challenges, we experienced a limited impact of COVID-19 on our Electricity segment. Nevertheless, we experienced a higher rate of curtailments in the first half of 2021 by KPLC in the Olkaria complex as compared to last year. The impact of the curtailments is limited because of the structure of the PPA which secures the vast majority of revenues with fixed capacity payments unrelated to the electricity actually generated (In the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, capacity payments represented 74.8% and 72.4% of our revenues, respectively). In addition, our future growth in the Electricity segment is and would be adversely impacted by delays we are experiencing in receiving the required development and construction permits, as well as by the implications of global and local restrictions on our ability to procure raw materials and ship to our products.

  • Our Product segment revenues are generated from sales of products and services pursuant to contracts, under which we have a right to payment for any product that was produced for the customer. Recognition of revenue under these contracts is impacted by delays in the progress of the third-party projects into which our products and services are incorporated. We experienced delays and significant cost increases in one of the projects in the Product segment that adversely impacted our results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021. We had a product backlog of \$59.1 million as of August 4, 2021, which includes revenue recognition for the period between July 1, 2021 and August 4, 2021, compared to \$66.0 million as of August 3, 2020. We believe that the yearover-year decline in backlog resulted mainly from the impact of COVID-19 and the unwillingness of potential customers to enter into new commitments at this time.
  • Our Energy Storage segment generates revenues mainly from participating in the energy and ancillary services markets, run by regional transmission operators and independent system operators in the various markets where our assets operate. Therefore, the revenues these assets generate is directly impacted by the prevailing market prices for energy and/or ancillary services.
  • In addition, we experience delays in the permitting for new projects in all segments that may result in contractual penalties and cause a delay in those projects. Also, we recently experienced an increase in raw material costs as well as shipping costs, which may put pressure on our operating margins in the Product segment and increase in the costs of building our own power plants.

Despite our efforts to provide insight into the performance of our business and the trends affecting it, as of the date of this filing, significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. We may continue to become subject to any of the following impacts:

  • limitations on the ability of our suppliers to obtain raw materials that are required for the manufacturing of the products we either sell to third parties or build for ourselves or to meet delivery requirements and commitments that may result in penalty payments;
  • impact on our efforts to sign new contracts for our Product segment due to operational and travel restrictions and availability of our customers and their willingness to enter into new agreements;
  • limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis;
  • additional declarations of COVID-19 as force majeure by our customers and suppliers;
  • a reduction in the demand for electricity and for our products;
  • change in regulations, taxes and levies that may affect our operations and cost structure;
  • risk of infection among employees that may impact the day-to-day operations;
  • delays in obtaining the required permits that create penalties and may impact our ability to implement our growth plan; and
  • limited ability to oversee remote operations due to travel restrictions.

Other Recent Developments

The most significant developments in our Company and business since January 1, 2021 are described below.

  • The Puna power plant resumed operations in November 2020 following a shut down period as a result of the damage caused by the volcano eruption and during the second quarter of 2021 operated at approximately 25 MW. Recently, the Company completed repair work to a bottoming turbine which increased generating capacity to approximately 28MW. The Company expects the Puna complex to generate approximately 30 MW by the end of 2021. In order to resume operations at full capacity, the Company plans to drill additional wells. In 2019 we signed a new PPA with HELCO for our Puna power plant. The new PPA, which is subject to Public Utility Commission ("PUC") approval, extends the term until 2052 with an increased contract capacity of 46 MW and fixes the price with no escalation, regardless of changes to fossil fuel pricing. On March 31, 2021, the PUC issued an order suspending the request to approve the PPA application until an environmental review is conducted on the proposed repowering, and ordered the parties to renegotiate the PPA rates. HELCO and PGV have filed motions, which are pending, for reconsideration of the order with the PUC. The existing PPA remains in effect, with its current terms, until the expansion is completed and the repowered plant reaches its Commercial Operation Date ("COD").
  • In July 2021, we completed the acquisition of TG Geothermal Portfolio, LLC (a subsidiary of Terra-Gen, LLC). Ormat paid \$171 million in cash (excluding working capital and assumed cash which are subject to final audit) for 100% of the equity interests in a portfolio of entities and assumed debt and associated lease obligations of approximately \$206 million book value as of June 30, 2021. The acquired entities own, among other things, two operating geothermal power plants in Nevada comprising the 56 MW (net) Dixie Valley geothermal power plant, one of the largest geothermal power plants in Nevada, and the 11.5 MW Beowawe geothermal power plant, as well as the rights to Coyote Canyon, a greenfield development asset adjacent to Dixie Valley with high resource potential, and an underutilized transmission line, capable of handling between 300MW and 400MW of 230KV electricity, connecting Dixie Valley to California.

  • In May 2021, we announced that we signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Clean Power Alliance (CPA), which is the fifth largest electricity provider in California and the single largest provider of 100% renewable energy to customers in the nation. Under terms of the agreement, effective January 1, 2022, CPA will purchase 14 MW of clean, renewable energy from Ormat's Heber South Geothermal facility located in Imperial Valley, CA. The PPA replaces the original PPA with Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA), which had a shorter remaining duration and was subject to an early termination option. This is Ormat's first contract with CPA, creating the potential for additional agreements in the future as CPA pursues aggressive goals to provide renewable energy to southern California.
  • In Kenya, a task force was appointed by the local president to review and analyze PPAs entered into between various independent power producers and KPLC, including Ormat's long term PPA for the Olkaria complex. In July 2021, Ormat received a letter from the Kenya National Assembly with a request to respond to various questions and to provide materials regarding our Olkaria complex operations and its PPA. Ormat is engaged in conversations with the Kenya National Assembly to respond to their requests.
  • In May 2021, we announced the completion of the expansion of our McGinness Hills Phase 3 geothermal power plant in Eastern Nevada. The expansion, completed in May, 2021, increases the power plant net capacity by 15 MW, bringing the entire McGinness Hills complex capacity to a total of 160 MW. The McGinness Hills Phase 3 power plant continues to sell its electricity under the current 25-year long term portfolio power purchase agreement with SCPPA.
  • In April 2021, we announced the commercial operation of the 10 MW/40 MWh Vallecito Battery Energy Storage System (Vallecito BESS). The Vallecito BESS provides local resource adequacy to Southern California Edison (SCE) under a 20-year energy storage resource adequacy agreement. In addition, the facility will provide ancillary services and energy optimization through participation in merchant markets run by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO).
  • In March 2021, our board of directors established a Special Committee of independent directors to investigate, among other things, certain claims made in a report published by a short seller regarding the Company's compliance with anti-corruption laws. The Special Committee is working with outside legal counsel to investigate the claims made. All members of the Special Committee are "independent" in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the NYSE listing standards and SEC rules applicable to board of directors in general. We are also providing information as requested by the SEC and DOJ related to the claims.
  • In February 2021 we released two energy storage systems for construction, the 20 MW/20MWh Andover facility and the 7 MW/7MWh Howell facility, both of which are located in New Jersey and will sell ancillary services to PJM. We are targeting commercial operation in the first half of 2022.
  • In February 2021, extreme weather conditions in Texas resulted in a significant increase in demand for electricity on the one hand and a decrease in electricity supply in the region on the other hand. On February 15, 2021, the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas ("ERCOT") issued an Energy Emergency Alert Level 3 ("EEA 3") prompting rotating outages in Texas. This ultimately led to a significant increase in the Responsive Reserve Service ("RRS") market prices, where the Company operates its Rabbit Hill battery energy storage facility which provides ancillary services and energy optimization to the wholesale markets managed by ERCOT. Due to the electricity supply shortage, ERCOT restricted battery charging in the Rabbit Hill facility from February 16, 2021 to February 19, 2021, resulting in a limited ability of the Rabbit Hill storage facility to provide RRS. As a result, the Company incurred losses of approximately \$9.1 million, net of associated revenues, from a hedge transaction in relation to its inability to provide RRS during that period. Starting February 19, 2021, the Rabbit Hill energy storage facility resumed operation at full capacity. In addition, the Company recorded a provision for approximately \$3.0 million for receivables related to imbalance charges from the grid operator in respect of its demand response operation as it estimated it is probable it may be unable to collect such receivables. The provision for uncollectible receivables is included in "General and administrative expenses" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the first quarter of 2021. The Company is currently in discussions with ERCOT with respect to some of the imbalance charges and revenue allocated to its Demand Response services and customers, the outcome of which may impact the final amount.

Trends and Uncertainties

Different trends, factors and uncertainties may impact our operations and financial condition, including many that we do not or cannot foresee. However, we believe that our results of operations and financial condition for the foreseeable future will be primarily affected by trends, factors and uncertainties discussed in our 2020 Annual Report under "Part II - Item 7 – Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation", in addition to the information set forth in this report. These trends, factors and uncertainties are, from time to time, also subject to market cycles.

Revenues

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, 94.5% of our Electricity segment revenues were from PPAs with fixed energy rates, which are not affected by fluctuations in energy commodity prices. We have variable price PPAs in California and Hawaii, which provide for payments based on the local utilities' avoided cost, which is the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoids by not having to generate such electrical energy itself or purchase it from others, as follows:

  • The energy rates under the PPAs in California for each Heber 2 power plant in the Heber Complex and the G2 power plant in the Mammoth Complex, a total of between 30 to 40 MW, change primarily based on fluctuations in natural gas prices.
  • The prices paid for electricity pursuant to the 25 MW PPA for the Puna Complex in Hawaii change primarily as a result of variations in the price of oil as well as other commodities. In 2019, we signed a new PPA related to Puna with fixed prices, increased capacity and extended the term until 2052. The PUC suspended the approval of the PPA, as discussed above.

To comply with obligations under their respective PPAs, certain of our project subsidiaries are structured as special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities and their assets and liabilities are ring-fenced. Such assets are not generally available to pay our debt, other than debt at the respective project subsidiary level. However, these project subsidiaries are allowed to pay dividends and make distributions of cash flows generated by their assets to us, subject in some cases to restrictions in debt instruments, as described below.

Electricity segment revenues are also subject to seasonal variations and are affected by higher-than-average ambient temperatures, as described below under "Seasonality".

Revenues attributable to our Product segment are based on the sale of equipment, engineering, procurement and construction contracts and the provision of various services to our customers. Product segment revenues vary from period to period because of the timing of our receipt of purchase orders and the progress of our equipment manufacturing and execution of the relevant project.

Revenues attributable to our Energy Storage segment are generated by several grid-connected battery energy storage system ("BESS")facilities that we own and operate from selling energy, capacity and/or ancillary services in merchant markets like PJM Interconnect, ISO New England, the ERCOT and CAISO. The revenues fluctuate over time since a large portion of such revenues are generated in the merchant markets where price volatility is inherent.

In the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 34% and 51% of our total revenues were derived from foreign locations, respectively, and our foreign operations were more profitable than our U.S. operations in each of those periods. A substantial portion of international revenues came from Kenya and, to a lesser extent, from Honduras, Guadeloupe and Guatemala and other countries. Our operations in Kenya contributed disproportionately to gross profit and net income. The contribution to combined pre-tax income of our domestic and foreign operations within our Electricity segment and Product segment differ in a number of ways.

Electricity Segment. Our Electricity segment domestic revenues were approximately 67% and 63% of our total Electricity segment for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. However, domestic operations have higher cost of revenues and expenses than our foreign operations. Our foreign power plants are located in lower-cost regions, like Kenya, Guatemala, Honduras and Guadeloupe, which favorably impacts payroll, and maintenance expenses among other items. Our power plants in foreign locations are also newer than most of our domestic power plants and therefore tend to have lower maintenance costs and higher availability factors than our domestic power plants. Consequently, in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our Electricity segment foreign operations accounted for 48% and 48% of our total gross profits, 78% and 70% of our net income (assuming the majority of corporate operating expenses and financing are recorded under domestic jurisdiction) and 51% and 44% of our EBITDA, respectively. However, financing costs related to the foreign projects are higher than financing costs related to our domestic activity.

Product Segment. Our Product segment foreign revenues were approximately 84% and 97% of our total Product segment revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our Product segment foreign activity also benefits from lower costs of revenues and expenses than Product segment domestic activity such as labor and transportation costs. Accordingly, our Product segment foreign activity contributes more than our Product segment domestic activity to our pre-tax income from operations.

Seasonality

Electricity generation from some of our geothermal power plants is subject to seasonal variations; in the winter, our power plants produce more energy primarily attributable to the lower ambient temperature, which has a favorable impact on the energy component of our Electricity segment revenues and the prices under many of our contracts are fixed throughout the year with no time-of-use impact. The prices paid for electricity under the PPAs for the Heber 2 power plant in the Heber Complex, the Mammoth Complex and the North Brawley power plant in California, the Raft River power plant in Idaho and the Neal Hot Springs power plant in Oregon, are higher in the months of June through September. The higher payments payable under these PPAs in the summer months partially offset the negative impact on our revenues from lower generation in the summer attributable to a higher ambient temperature. As a result, we expect the revenues and gross profit in the winter months to be higher than the revenues and gross profit in the summer months and in general we expect the first and fourth quarters to generate higher revenues than the second and third quarters.

Breakdown of Cost of Revenues

The principal cost of revenues attributable to our three segments are discussed in our 2020 Annual Report under "Part II - Item 7 – Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation".

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting estimates and assumptions is included in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section in our 2020 Annual Report.

Electricity segment \$ 133.9 \$ 128.7 4.0%
Product segment 7.4 43.7 (83.0)
Energy Storage segment 5.6 2.5 123.8
Total revenues \$ 146.9 \$ 174.9 (16.0)%

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were \$146.9 million, compared to \$174.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which represented a 16.0% decrease from the prior year period. This decrease was attributable to a \$36.3 million, or 83.0%, decrease in our Product segment revenues compared to the corresponding period in 2020, offset partially by a \$5.2 million, or 4.0% increase in Electricity segment revenues and a \$3.1 million, or 123.8% increase in Energy Storage segment revenues as compared to the corresponding period in 2020, all as discussed below.

Electricity Segment

Revenues attributable to our Electricity segment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were \$133.9 million, compared to \$128.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in our Electricity segment revenues was mainly due to the resumption of partial operations of the Puna power plant, the enhancement of Steamboat Hills in June 2020 and the expansion of McGinness Hills complex in May 2021, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from the Olkaria complex due to a combination of lower resource performance that caused a capacity reduction and continued curtailment by our local customer, KPLC. In addition, in the Steamboat complex we had a mechanical issue that was resolved after few days, and in Brawley we are experiencing a surface leak in one of the injection wells that reduced significantly the generation. The repair work at Brawley is still in process.

Power generation in our power plants increased by 2.4% from 1,444,249 MWh in the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 1,479,169 MWh in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was 22.6% and 33.3%, respectively. The effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the jurisdictional mix of earnings at differing tax rates, movement in the valuation allowance and generation of production tax credits.

Equity in Earnings (losses) of Investees, Net

Equity in earnings of investees, net for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was \$0.6 million, compared to \$1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Equity in earnings (losses) of investees, net is mainly derived from our 12.75% share in the earnings or losses in the Sarulla Consortium ("Sarulla"). The decrease was mainly due to the revaluation of the local currency compared to the U.S. dollar during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Sarulla is currently developing a remediation plan with a target to increase generation in the near-term back to previous levels. We are following the remediation plans in Sarulla as well as the accounting impact and its implication on our financial statements and our investment in Sarulla.

Our estimated capital needs for the remainder of 2021 include \$278.0 million for capital expenditures on new projects under development or construction including storage projects, exploration activity and maintenance capital expenditures for our existing projects. In addition, \$42.2 million will be needed for debt repayment.

We expect to finance these requirements with: (i) the sources of liquidity described above; (ii) positive cash flows from our operations; and (iii) future project financings and re-financings (including construction loans and tax equity). Management believes that, based on the current stage of implementation of our strategic plan, the sources of liquidity and capital resources described above will address our anticipated liquidity, capital expenditures, and other investment requirements.

As of June 30, 2021, we continue to maintain our assertion to no longer indefinitely reinvest foreign funds held by our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of a certain balance held in Israel, and have accrued the incremental foreign withholding taxes. Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, we included a foreign income tax expense of \$1.6 million related to foreign withholding taxes on accumulated earnings of all of our foreign subsidiaries.

Letters of Credits Under Credit Agreements

Some of our customers require our project subsidiaries to post letters of credit in order to guarantee their respective performance under relevant contracts. We are also required to post letters of credit to secure our obligations under various leases and licenses and may, from time to time, decide to post letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits in reserve accounts under certain financing arrangements. In addition, our subsidiary, Ormat Systems, is required from time to time to post performance letters of credit in favor of our customers with respect to orders of products.

Restrictive Covenants

Our obligations under the credit agreements, the loan agreements, and the trust instrument governing the bonds described above, are unsecured, but we are subject to a negative pledge in favor of the banks and the other lenders and certain other restrictive covenants. These include, among other things, restraints on: (i) creating any floating charge or any permanent pledge, charge or lien over our assets without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; (ii) guaranteeing the liabilities of any third party without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; and (iii) selling, assigning, transferring, conveying or disposing of all or substantially all of our assets, or a change of control in our ownership structure. Some of the credit agreements, the term loan agreements, and the trust instrument contain cross-default provisions with respect to other material indebtedness owed by us to any third party. In some cases, we have agreed to maintain certain financial ratios, which are measured quarterly, such as: (i) equity of at least \$750 million and in no event less than 25% of total assets; (ii) 12-month debt, net of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits to Adjusted EBITDA ratio not to exceed 6.0; and (iii) dividend distributions not to exceed 50% of net income in any calendar year. As of June 30, 2021: (i) total equity was \$1,959.9 million and the actual equity to total assets ratio was 51.3% and (ii) the 12-month debt, net of cash, cash equivalents, to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 2.8. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we distributed interim dividends in an aggregate amount of \$13.2 million. The failure to perform or observe any of the covenants set forth in such agreements, subject to various cure periods, would result in the occurrence of an event of default and would enable the lenders to accelerate all amounts due under each such agreement.

As described above, we are currently in compliance with our covenants with respect to the credit agreements, the loan agreements and the trust instrument, and believe that the restrictive covenants, financial ratios and other terms of any of our full-recourse bank credit agreements will not materially impact our business plan or operations.

Liquidity Impact of Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company has a liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties in the amount of approximately \$3.5 million as of June 30, 2021. This liability is included in long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet because we generally do not anticipate that settlement of the liability will require payment of cash within the next twelve months. We are not able to reasonably estimate when we will make any cash payments required to settle this liability.

Historical Cash Flows

The following table sets forth the components of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Six Months Ended June 30,
2021 2020
(Dollars in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities \$
98,844
\$ 154,354
Net cash used in investing activities (254,512) (159,027)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities (50,976) 101,422
Net change in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents (206,901) 96,724

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was \$98.8 million, compared to \$154.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The net decrease of \$55.5 million was primarily due to: (i) a net decrease of \$13.0 million in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, net in our Product segment in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to \$21.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, as a result of timing of billing to our customers; (ii) a decrease of \$4.5 million in deferred income tax provision in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to an increase of \$19.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020; (iii) an increase of \$4.9 million in prepaid expense and other in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a decrease of \$1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 mainly due to prepaid income taxes; and (iv) a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of \$37.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to an increase of \$10.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, mainly due to timing of payments to our supplier. The decrease was partially offset by a decrease in receivables of \$9.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to an increase of \$24.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, as a result of the timing of collections from our customers.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was \$254.5 million, compared to \$159.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The principal factors that affected our net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 were: (i) capital expenditures of \$207.9 million, primarily for our facilities under construction that support our growth plan; and (ii) purchase of marketable securities of \$47.6 million. The principal factors that affected our net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were capital expenditures of \$151.3 million, primarily for our facilities under construction and an investment in an unconsolidated company of \$7.8 million.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was \$51.0 million, compared to \$101.4 million provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The principal factors that affected the net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 were: (i) the repayment of long-term debt in the amount of \$36.5 million; (ii) a \$13.2 million cash dividend payment and (iii) \$5.2 million cash paid to a noncontrolling interest. The principal factors that affected our net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were: (i) \$79.4 million of proceeds from a senior secured bonds series 3; (ii) \$50.0 million of proceeds from a senior unsecured loan; (iii) net proceeds of \$59.5 million from our revolving credit lines with commercial banks which were withdrawn primarily to secure cash in hand in order to meet our capital needs in light of the uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by: (i) the repayment of commercial paper debt in the amount of \$46.2 million; (ii) the repayment of long-term debt in the amount of \$31.8 million; (iii) a \$11.3 million cash dividend paid; and (iv) \$3.7 million cash paid to a noncontrolling interest.

Non-GAAP Measures: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We calculate EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for (i) termination fees, (ii) impairment of long-lived assets, (iii) write-off of unsuccessful exploration activities, (iv) any mark-tomarket gains or losses from accounting for derivatives, (v) merger and acquisition transaction costs, (vi) stock-based compensation, (vii) gains or losses from extinguishment of liabilities, (viii) gains or losses on sale of subsidiaries and property, plant and equipment and (ix) other unusual or non-recurring items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net earnings as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our board of directors and senior management use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance. However, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was \$15.2 million and \$33.0 million, respectively, compared to \$25.3 million and \$55.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was \$84.5 million and \$183.8 million, respectively, compared to \$97.9 million and \$203.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

In May 2014, Sarulla closed \$1,170 million in financing. As of June 30, 2021, the credit facility had an outstanding balance of \$976.0 million. Our proportionate share in the SOL credit facility is \$124.4 million. In March 2021, Sarulla failed to meet its debt service coverage ratio under the credit facility agreement and is still undergoing negotiations with its lenders for a waiver covering this non-compliance as well as a remediation plan aimed to achieve compliance in the future.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures primarily relate to: (i) the development and construction of new power plants, (ii) the enhancement of our existing power plants; and (iii) investment in activities under our strategic plan.

The following is an overview of projects that are fully released for construction.

Heber Complex (California). We are currently in the process of repowering the Heber 1 and Heber 2 power plants. We are planning to replace steam turbine and old OEC units with new advanced technology equipment that will add a net capacity of 11 MW. Following these enhancements, we expect the capacity of the complex to reach 92 MW. Permitting, engineering and procurement are ongoing and manufacturing is near completion. Equipment transportation is ongoing and we experienced delays due to permitting. We expect commercial operation at the end of 2022.

.

CD 4 Project (California). We plan to develop a 30 MW project at the Mammoth complex on primarily Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") leases. We signed a Wholesale Distribution Access Tariff Cluster Large Generator Interconnection Agreement with Southern California Edison in December 2017. We signed a 25-year PPA with SCPPA for 16 MW that will be sold to the City of Colton in California, and we recently signed an additional two similar 10-year PPAs with Silicon Valley Clean Energy and Monterey Bay Community Power, each of which will purchase 7 MW (for a total of 14 MW) of power. Construction and drilling are ongoing and equipment delivery started. We expect commercial operation at the first quarter of 2022.

Wister Solar (California). We are developing a 20MW AC solar PV project on the Wister site in California. We plan to install a Solar PV system and sell the electricity under a PPA with San Diego Gas & Electric. Engineering and procurement are ongoing. Construction commencement delayed to the second quarter of 2021 due to permitting and a PV panels worldwide shortage. We expect the project to be completed in the first half of 2022.

Dixie Meadows (Nevada). We are developing the 12MW Dixie Meadows geothermal power plant in Nevada. Engineering and procurement have commenced. We are planning to sell the electricity generated under the Portfolio SCPPA PPA. Engineering and procurement are ongoing and part of the equipment already shipped. Construction commencement is pending permits that are currently delayed. Commercial operation is expected in the second half of 2022.

Tungsten expansion (Nevada). We are expanding the Tungsten geothermal power plant in Nevada to add an additional 11 MW. We are planning to sell the electricity generated under the Portfolio SCPPA PPA. Construction commenced and equipment delivery is planned for the second and third quarters 2021 and commercial operation is expected in the first half of 2022.

Steamboat Solar (Nevada). We are currently developing a Solar PV power plant adjacent to our geothermal Steamboat complex in Nevada. The project is expected to generate approximately 5 AC MW that will be used for the ancillary needs of the geothermal power plant and will free a similar amount of MW to be sold from the geothermal resource to SCPPA under the portfolio PPA. Engineering and procurement are ongoing. We expect commercial operation in 2022.

Zunil Upgrade (Guatemala). We are expanding the Zunil geothermal power plant in Guatemala to add 5 MW of additional capacity. We are planning to sell the electricity generated under the existing PPA with the local utility, Instituto Nacional de Electrification or "INDE". Engineering and procurement are ongoing and operation is expected in the first half of 2022.

North Valley (Nevada). We are developing the 25 MW North Valley geothermal power plant in Nevada. The Project was recently released. We are currently in negotiations to secure a long term PPA. Engineering and procurement are ongoing. Commercial operation is expected at the end of 2022

In addition, we are in the process of repowering Ormesa and Steamboat 2 and 3. In the Energy Storage segment, we are in the process of constructing several facilities as detailed below:

Project Name Size Location Customer Expected COD
Tierra Buena 5MW/20MWh CA CAISO, RCEA and VCE Q4 2021
Upton 25MW/25MWh TX ERCOT Q4 2021
Andover 20MW/20MWh NJ PJM Q1 2022
Howell 6.5MW/6.5MWh NJ PJM Q2 2022
Bowling Green 12MW/12MWh OH PJM Q3 2022
Pomona 2 20MW/40MWh CA PG&E and CAISO Q3 2022

The following is an overview of projects that are in initial stages of construction:

Carson Lake Project. We plan to develop between 10 MW to 15 MW at the Carson Lake project on BLM leases located in Churchill County, Nevada. We signed a Small Generator Interconnection Agreement with NV Energy in December 2017. As of June 30, 2021, we are planning the drilling activity to begin next year.

We have budgeted approximately \$558.0 million in capital expenditures for construction of new projects and enhancements to our existing power plants, of which we had invested \$248.0 million as of June 30, 2021. We expect to invest approximately \$200.0 million in the rest of 2021 and the remaining approximately \$110.0 million thereafter.

In addition, we estimate approximately \$78.0 million in additional capital expenditures in 2021 to be allocated as follows: (i) approximately \$28.0 million for the exploration, drilling and development of new projects and enhancements of existing power plants that are not yet released for full construction; (ii) approximately \$20.0 million for maintenance capital expenditures to our operating power plants including drilling at our Puna power plant; (iii) approximately \$20.0 million for the construction and development of storage projects; and (iv) approximately \$10.0 million for enhancements to our production facilities.

In the aggregate, we estimate our total capital expenditures for the second half of 2021 to be approximately \$278.0 million.

Exposure to Market Risks

Based on current conditions, we believe that we have sufficient financial resources to fund our activities and execute our business plans. However, the cost of obtaining financing for our project needs may increase significantly or such financing may be difficult to obtain.

We, like other power plant operators, are exposed to electricity price volatility risk. Our exposure to such market risk is currently limited because many of our longterm PPAs (except for the 25 MW PPA for the Puna Complex and the between 30 MW and 40 MW PPAs in the aggregate for the Heber 2 power plant in the Heber Complex, and the G2 power plant in the Mammoth Complex) have fixed or escalating rate provisions that limit our exposure to changes in electricity prices. Our energy storage projects sell on a "merchant" basis and are exposed to changes in the electricity market prices.

The energy payments under the PPAs of the Heber 2 power plant in the Heber Complex and the G2 power plant in the Mammoth Complex are determined by reference to the relevant power purchaser's Short Run Avoided Cost ("SRAC"). A decline in the price of natural gas will result in a decrease in the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoids by not generating its electrical energy needs from natural gas, or by reducing the price of purchasing its electrical energy needs from natural gas power plants, which in turn will reduce the energy payments that we may charge under the relevant PPA for these power plants. The Puna Complex is currently benefiting from energy prices which are higher than the floor under the 25 MW PPA for the Puna Complex.

As of June 30, 2021, 97.4% of our consolidated long-term debt was fixed rate debt and therefore was not subject to interest rate volatility risk and 2.6% of our longterm debt was floating rate debt, exposing us to interest rate risk in connection therewith. As of June 30, 2021, \$37.5 million of our long-term debt remained subject to interest rate risk.

We currently maintain our surplus cash in short-term, interest-bearing bank deposits, money market securities and commercial paper (with a minimum investment grade rating of AA by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services).

Our cash equivalents are subject to interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely impacted by a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. As a result of these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations because of changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value because of changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2021, our investment in marketable securities was subject to such risk.

We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, in particular the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus the NIS in Israel and the Euro. Risks attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates can arise when we or any of our foreign subsidiaries borrow funds or incur operating or other expenses in one type of currency but receive revenues in another. In such cases, an adverse change in exchange rates can reduce such subsidiary's ability to meet its debt service obligations, reduce the amount of cash and income we receive from such foreign subsidiary, or increase such subsidiary's overall expenses. In Kenya, the tax asset is recorded in Kenyan Shillings ("KES") similar to the tax liability, however any change in the exchange rate in the KES versus the USD has an impact on our financial results. Risks attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can also arise when the currency denomination of a particular contract is not the U.S. dollar. Substantially all of our PPAs in the international markets are either U.S. dollar-denominated or linked to the U.S. dollar except for our operations on Guadeloupe, where we own and operate the Boulliante power plant which sells its power under a Euro-denominated PPA with Électricité de France S.A. Our construction contracts from time to time contemplate costs which are incurred in local currencies. The way we often mitigate such risk is to receive part of the proceeds from the contract in the currency in which the expenses are incurred. Currently, we have forward and cross-currency swap contracts in place to reduce our NIS/USD currency exposure and expect to continue to use currency exchange and other derivative instruments to the extent we deem such instruments to be the appropriate tool for managing such exposure.

On July 1, 2020, we concluded an auction tender and accepted subscriptions for senior unsecured bonds comprised of NIS 1.0 billion aggregate principal amount (the "Senior Unsecured Bonds - Series 4"). The Senior Unsecured Bonds - Series 4 were issued in New Israeli Shekels and converted to approximately \$290 million using a cross-currency swap transaction shortly after the completion of such issuance.

We performed a sensitivity analysis on the fair values of our long-term debt obligations, and foreign currency exchange forward contracts. The foreign currency exchange forward contracts listed below principally relate to trading activities. The sensitivity analysis involved increasing and decreasing forward rates at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 by a hypothetical 10% and calculating the resulting change in the fair values.

At this time, the development of our strategic plan has not exposed us to any additional market risk. However, as the implementation of the plan progresses, we may be exposed to additional or different market risks.

The results of the sensitivity analysis calculations as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are presented below:

In July 2019, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear whether or not LIBOR will cease to exist at that time and/or whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it will continue to exist after 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a new SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities.

We have evaluated the impact of the transition from LIBOR, and currently believe that the transition will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Effect of Inflation

We expect that inflation will not be a significant risk in the near term, given the current global economic conditions, however, we recently experienced an increase in raw material cost which may put pressure on our operating margins in the Product segment and increase our cost to build our own power plants. To address the possibility of rising inflation, some of our contracts include certain provisions that mitigate inflation risk.

In connection with the Electricity segment, none of our U.S. PPAs, including the SCPPA Portfolio PPA, are directly linked to the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Inflation may directly impact an expense we incur for the operation of our projects, thereby increasing our overall operating costs and reducing our profit and gross margin. The negative impact of inflation would be partially offset by price adjustments built into some of our PPAs that could be triggered upon such occurrences. The energy payments pursuant to our PPAs for some of our power plants such as the Brady power plant, the Steamboat 2 and 3 power plants and the McGinness Complex increase every year through the end of the relevant terms of such agreements, although such increases are not directly linked to the CPI or any other inflationary index. Lease payments are generally fixed, while royalty payments are generally calculated as a percentage of revenues and therefore are not significantly impacted by inflation. In our Product segment, inflation may directly impact fixed and variable costs incurred in the construction of our power plants, thereby increasing our operating costs in the Product segment. We are more likely to be able to offset all or part of this inflationary impact through our project pricing. With respect to power plants that we build for our own electricity production, inflationary pricing may impact our operating costs which may be partially offset in the pricing of the new longterm PPAs that we negotiate.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Our credit risk is currently concentrated with the following major customers: Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company (subsidiaries of NV Energy), SCPPA and KPLC. If any of these electric utilities fail to make payments under its PPAs with us, such failure would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition. Also, by implementing our multi-year strategic plan we may be exposed, by expanding our customer base, to different credit profile customers than our current customers.

The Company's revenues from its primary customers as a percentage of total revenues are as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company 19.5% 17.2% 20.3% 18.3%
Southern California Public Power Authority ("SCPPA") 25.5% 20.3% 25.2% 19.5%
Kenya Power and Lighting Co. Ltd. ("KPLC") 17.3% 16.0% 16.4% 15.7%

We have historically been able to collect on substantially all of our receivable balances. As of June 30, 2021, the amount overdue from KPLC in Kenya was \$43.5 million of which \$13.2 million was paid during July 2021. These amounts represent an average of 77.2 days overdue. In Honduras, as of June 30, 2021, the total amount overdue from ENEE was \$7.4 million, none of which was received in July 2021. In addition, due to continuing restrictive measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic in Honduras, the Company may experience additional delays in collection. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Honduras.

Government Grants and Tax Benefits

A comprehensive discussion on government grants and tax benefits is included in our 2020 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to this section during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

ARTICLE 1 DEFINED TERMS

1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings given such terms in Annex I.

ARTICLE 2 SALE AND PURCHASE OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

2.1 Agreement to Sell and Buy. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller will sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser will purchase, assume and acquire, on the Closing Date, the Acquired Interests free and clear of all Liens, other than restrictions under applicable securities laws. The consideration for the Acquired Interests shall be the Purchase Price, payable as provided herein.

2.2 Purchase Price.

(a) Closing Date Payment; Adjustments.

(i) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, in consideration of the delivery by Seller of the Acquired Interests, at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Base Purchase Price, plus the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (the "Closing Purchase Price").

(ii) The Parties agree that for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, for state, local and all other Tax purposes): (A) the purchase of the Acquired Interests (other than the Lessor Interests) under this Agreement is the purchase of an entity disregarded as separate from its owners, and, accordingly, treated as the purchase of the assets of the Acquired Companies; and (B) the purchase of the Lessor Interests under this Agreement is treated as a purchase of shares in a corporation, and the Parties further agree to report the transactions contemplated hereby consistently with the foregoing.

(b) Net Working Capital and Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(i) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, Seller will prepare and deliver to Purchaser a worksheet (the "Estimated Adjustment Certificate") setting forth Seller's good faith estimate of the Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date (the "Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount") and resulting calculation of the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, as well as computations thereof (which Estimated Adjustment Certificate and computations shall be prepared (A) in accordance with GAAP, (B) utilizing the same accounting practices of Seller and the Operating Acquired Companies as were utilized in the preparation of the balance sheets included in the Financial Statements as they relate to the amounts to be included in the Estimated Adjustment Certificate (but only to the extent such accounting practices are in accordance with GAAP) and (C) in the same format and on the same basis as set forth on Exhibit C), together with a reasonably detailed explanation of, and documentation reasonably sufficient to confirm the accuracy of the computation of, such Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount and Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount. In the case of any conflict or inconsistency between methodologies, principles and adjustments, the methodologies, principles and adjustments utilized on Exhibit C shall apply and control. Purchaser shall have reasonable access to the books and records and personnel of Seller, the Operating Acquired Companies and their respective Representatives and the opportunity to consult with such personnel for purposes of confirming or disputing the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount and Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount. If Purchaser shall disagree in good faith with any item set forth in the Estimated Adjustment Certificate, then Purchaser and Seller shall work in good faith to reach agreement on such disputed items and the amounts as agreed to by Purchaser and Seller shall constitute the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. If Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on the Estimated Adjustment Certificate, then the amount of the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount set forth in the Estimated Adjustment Certificate shall be used to determine the Closing Purchase Price; provided, however, that in such situation, Purchaser shall reserve the right to take a different position with respect to any item set forth in the Closing Adjustment Certificate.

(ii) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser will prepare (at Purchaser's expense) and deliver to Seller a worksheet (the "Closing Adjustment Certificate") setting forth Purchaser's good faith computation of the actual Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date (the "Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount"), which Closing Adjustment Certificate and computation shall be prepared in the same format and on the same basis used to prepare the Estimated Adjustment Certificate and compute the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount and Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of, and documentation reasonably sufficient to confirm the accuracy of the computation of, such Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. If within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Closing Adjustment Certificate and such supporting documentation, Seller does not object in writing thereto to Purchaser, then the Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount shall constitute the final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement (the "Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount"). If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Closing Adjustment Certificate and such supporting documentation, Seller objects in writing thereto to Purchaser (describing in reasonable detail the specific line items and values that are in dispute and the reasons for such dispute, and proposing alternative values with respect to such specific line items), such Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount shall be subject to the objection and resolution provisions set forth in Section 2.2(b)(v) below.

(iii) If the Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount is not prepared and delivered by Purchaser within the sixty (60)-day period set forth in Section 2.2(b)(ii) above, Seller shall be entitled (but not obligated) during the thirty (30) day period commencing on the sixty-first (61st) day after the Closing Date to prepare (at Seller's expense) and deliver to Purchaser the Closing Adjustment Certificate setting forth Seller's good faith computation of the Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount, which Closing Adjustment Certificate and computation shall be prepared in the same format and on the same basis used to prepare the Estimated Adjustment Certificate and compute the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount and Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of, and documentation reasonably sufficient to confirm the accuracy of the computation of, such Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. If within seven (7) days following delivery of the Closing Adjustment Certificate and such supporting documentation, Purchaser does not object in writing thereto to Seller, then the Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount submitted by Seller pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(iii) shall constitute the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. If, within seven (7) days following delivery of the Closing Adjustment Certificate and such supporting documentation, Purchaser objects in writing thereto to Seller (describing in reasonable detail the specific line items and values that are in dispute and the reasons for such dispute, and proposing alternative values with respect to such specific line items), such Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount shall be subject to the objection and resolution provisions set forth in Section 2.2(b)(v) below.

(iv) If neither Purchaser nor Seller prepares and timely delivers a Closing Adjustment Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(ii) or Section 2.2(b) (iii) above, the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount set forth in the Estimated Adjustment Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i) shall become the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount for all purposes hereunder.

(v) If Seller timely objects to Purchaser's Closing Adjustment Statement (or any line item therein) or computation of the Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii) or if Purchaser timely objects to Seller's Closing Adjustment Statement (or any line item therein) or computation of the Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(iii), then Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and attempt to resolve the particular items and values that are identified as being in dispute (each, a "Disputed Item") in the applicable written notice of objection over a ten (10)-day period commencing on delivery of written notice of objection pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii) or Section 2.2(b)(iii), as the case may be. The Parties shall be deemed to have agreed upon all calculations, line items and values set forth in the Closing Adjustment Statement that are not disputed by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, in such notice of objection. Should such negotiations not result in an agreement as to the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount within such ten (10)-day period (or such longer period as Purchaser and Seller may mutually agree), then either Party may submit any remaining Disputed Items that were set forth in the applicable notice of objection to the Neutral Auditor. Each Party agrees to promptly execute a reasonable engagement letter, if requested to do so by the Neutral Auditor. Purchaser and Seller, and their respective Representatives, shall cooperate fully with the Neutral Auditor. The Neutral Auditor, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall be directed to, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after being retained, make a determination as to each Disputed Item and the value to be ascribed thereto, and using those values (together with all other values set forth in the Closing Adjustment Statement that were not submitted to the Neutral Auditor) determine the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. The Parties hereby agree that the Neutral Auditor shall make determinations solely with respect to the Disputed Items submitted to it, and the Neutral Auditor's determination with respect to any Disputed Item must be within the range of values assigned to each such Disputed Item in the applicable Closing Adjustment Statement and the notice of objection, respectively. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Auditor will be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. The Neutral Auditor shall be directed to deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable after making its final determination with respect to all Disputed Items submitted to it, an updated Closing Adjustment Statement reflecting the Neutral Auditor's final determination of the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount (such determination to be made consistent with this Section 2.2(b)(v) and include all material calculations used in arriving at such determination which shall be based solely on information provided to the Neutral Auditor by Purchaser and Seller), which Closing Adjustment Statement and final determination will be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and their respective Affiliates and Representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the dispute resolution mechanism contained in this Section 2.2(b)(v) shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes, if any, regarding the Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount.

(vi) The "Post-Closing Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount" shall be the amount equal to (A) the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount, minus (B) the Target Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. If the Post-Closing Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount is greater than the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, then Purchaser shall pay in cash to Seller the amount of such difference. If the Post-Closing Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount is less than the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, then Seller shall pay in cash to Purchaser the amount equal to the absolute value of such difference. Any payment in respect of the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(vi) will be due and payable within ten (10) days after the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount is finally determined as provided in this Section 2.2(b) and will be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as shall be specified by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(vi) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

(vii) Following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate and provide each other, and if applicable the Neutral Auditor, and their respective Representatives, reasonable assistance and access to such books, records and employees (including those of the Operating Acquired Companies) as are reasonably requested in connection with the matters addressed in this Section 2.2(b). Consistent with the foregoing, if Purchaser prepares the Closing Adjustment Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(ii), Purchaser shall, at Seller's expense, provide or provide reasonable access (in a manner not unreasonably disruptive to its business) to Seller or the Neutral Auditor to review the books and records, documents and work papers related to the preparation of the Closing Adjustment Certificate and computation of the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount, and if Seller prepares the worksheet in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(iii), then Seller shall, at Purchaser's expense, provide or provide reasonable access (in a manner not unreasonably disruptive to its business) to Purchaser or the Neutral Auditor to review the books and records, documents and work papers related to the preparation of the Closing Adjustment Certificate and computation of the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. If Purchaser prepares the Closing Adjustment Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(ii), Seller and the Neutral Auditor shall be entitled to make reasonable inquiries and information requests of Purchaser regarding the Closing Adjustment Certificate and the computation of the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount and the calculations set forth therein, and if Seller prepares the Closing Adjustment Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(iii), Purchaser and the Neutral Auditor shall be entitled to make reasonable inquiries and information requests of Seller regarding the Closing Adjustment Certificate and the computation of the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount and the calculations set forth therein.

2.3 Post-Closing Adjustments. After the Closing, the Parties shall make the post-Closing adjustments to the Closing Purchase Price, as applicable, set forth in Section 2.2(b) (as so adjusted, the "Purchase Price").

2.4 Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Acquired Interests (the "Closing") will take place (a) at the offices of Reed Smith LLP in New York City (or remotely by the electronic exchange of Closing deliveries) at 10:00 a.m. (eastern time) on the second (2nd) Business Day after the date on which all of the conditions in Sections 2.5 and 2.6 have either been satisfied or validly waived (other than those to be satisfied at Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver thereof), or (b) at such other place and time as Purchaser and Seller may agree in writing (such date and time as determined under clause (a) or (b), the "Closing Date"). Each of the documents to be delivered pursuant to Sections 2.5 and 2.6 shall be deemed to be delivered simultaneously. The Closing shall be effective for all purposes at 12:01 a.m. (eastern time) on the Closing Date.

2.5 Conditions Precedent to the Obligations of Purchaser at the Closing. The obligation of Purchaser to consummate the Closing will be subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions (any or all of which may be waived in whole or in part by Purchaser in writing):

(c) All Seller Consents shall have been obtained or made in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser; and any applicable waiting periods (and any extensions thereof) shall have expired or been terminated, including the waiting period under the HSR Act.

(d) No Action shall be pending before, or threatened in writing by, any Governmental Authority seeking (i) to prevent consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) to impose any limitation on the right of Purchaser to own the Acquired Interests or to control any Acquired Company, or (iii) to restrain or prohibit Purchaser's ownership or operation (or that of its Affiliates) of all or any portion of the business or Assets of any Acquired Company, or compel Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to divest, license, dispose of or hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) all or any portion of the business or Assets of any Acquired Company or of Purchaser and its Affiliates, in each case, due solely to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no Order having the effect of (i), (ii) or (iii) shall be in effect; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be entitled to rely on this Section 2.5(d) as a condition to its obligations to consummate the Closing if Purchaser has not complied in all material respects with its covenants and agreements in Section 4.4.

(e) Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered the following to Purchaser, at Seller's cost:

To Seller's Knowledge, there is no infringement, misappropriation or such other conflict by any other Person involving any Intellectual Property owned or used by the Acquired Companies.

(a) Organization, Good Standing, Etc. Purchaser is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Applicable Laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, and has the limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate its Assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted.

(b) Authority, Execution and Delivery and Enforceability. Purchaser has the limited liability company power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is (or will at Closing be) a party, to perform its obligations thereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The execution and delivery by Purchaser of the Transaction Documents to which it is (or will at Closing be) a party, and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company. Purchaser has duly executed and delivered to Seller (or will duly execute and deliver to Seller) the applicable Transaction Documents to which it is (or will at Closing be) a party, and such Transaction Documents constitute, or upon execution and delivery thereof will constitute, the valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Purchaser is (or will at Closing be) a party do not, and the performance by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder and thereunder does not (or will not), subject to the making, giving or receipt of the Seller Consents: (i) violate any Applicable Law, (ii) conflict with or cause a breach of any provision in any provision in the certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or other organizational document of Purchaser, (iii) cause a material Default under any material Contract to which Purchaser is a party or under which it is bound or to which any of its Assets is subject or (iv) except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(c), require any Consent to be made, obtained or given by Purchaser to or from any Person or Governmental Authority. Purchaser qualifies as a "Permitted Transferee" pursuant to that certain Renewable Power Purchase and Sale Agreement between Southern California Edison Company and Terra-Gen Dixie Valley, LLC (f/k/a Caithness Dixie Valley, LLC) (RAP ID 3106), dated as of May 30, 2007, as amended.

(d) Absence of Litigation. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates is subject to any outstanding Order or, to Purchaser's Knowledge, is threatened with being made a party to any Action of, in, or before any Governmental Authority that would or seeks to enjoin, prohibit or otherwise make illegal the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which Purchaser is (or will at Closing be) a party or that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the performance by Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Purchaser is (or will at Closing be) a party. To the Knowledge of Purchaser, no event has occurred or circumstances exist that would reasonably be expected to give rise to or serve as a basis for any such Action.

(e) Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that the Acquired Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act, and are being transferred in reliance on an exemption therefrom, and that Seller is not under any obligation to register the Acquired Interests or make any filing with any Governmental Authority to obtain an exemption from registration. Purchaser is knowledgeable about and experienced in the industries in which each Project Company operates, specifically including ownership and operation of geothermal generation facilities, and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser is purchasing the Acquired Interests for its own account and not for the account of any other Person and not with a view to distribution or resale to others.

(f) Financing. Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have sufficient cash, or other sources of immediately available funds to pay in cash, an amount equal to the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of Article 2 and any other amounts contemplated by this Agreement to be paid at Closing. Purchaser's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is not contingent on its ability to secure financing or to complete any public or private placement of securities prior to or upon Closing.

(g) Regulatory Status. Purchaser is not a "holding company" under PUHCA or a "public utility" under the FPA. No national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a substantial interest, as defined in Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, including all implementing regulations thereof (the "DPA"), in Purchaser. Neither Purchaser nor any parent or Affiliate company of Purchaser has previously represented to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS") that it is a "foreign person" or "foreign entity" as defined under the DPA, and they have not made representations, statements or communications to CFIUS inconsistent with this Section 3.2(g). Purchaser is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat Technologies, Inc.

(h) Acknowledgement. Purchaser acknowledges that, except with respect to the representations and warranties expressly made by Seller in this Agreement and in the other Transaction Documents, neither Seller nor any Acquired Company has made any other representation or warranty, either express or implied, regarding any Acquired Company, the Projects or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor has Purchaser relied on any representation or warranty not expressly made in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Except with respect to any representation or warranty expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Purchaser specifically acknowledges that no representation or warranty has been made and that Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty about the accuracy of any projections, estimates or budgets, future revenues, future results from operations, future cash flows, the future condition of the Projects, any geothermal resource, any Assets of any Acquired Company, the future financial condition of each Acquired Company, or any other information or documents made available to Purchaser or its counsel, accountants or other advisers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 3.2(h)) or any other Transaction Document will limit, restrict or prohibit any claims in respect of Fraud.

(i) Brokers. No broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage, finder's or other similar fee or commission due to arrangements of Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, for which Seller or any of its Affiliates would be responsible.

(i) each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, prepare, as soon as is practical following the Effective Date, all necessary filings in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that may be required under the HSR Act, or any other Applicable Laws prior to the Closing Date. Each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, submit the required filings as soon as practicable, but, with respect to filings under the HSR Act, in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date.

The Parties shall consult with one another and shall agree in good faith upon the timing of such filings;

(ii) neither Party shall, and each Party shall cause its Affiliates not to, take any action that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect or materially delay or impair the Consent of any Governmental Authority or other Person in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and

Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to this Section 4.4, each Party will promptly inform the other Party of such occurrence and cooperate in filing promptly with the applicable Governmental Authority such amendment or supplement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party shall provide to the other Party (or its respective advisors) upon request copies of all correspondence between such Party and any Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. The Parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other Party under this Section 4.4 as "outside counsel only." Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the Party providing such materials. In addition, to the extent reasonably practicable, the Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that all discussions, telephone calls and meetings with a Governmental Authority regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall include Representatives of both Purchaser and Seller; provided, however, that each Party may exclude the other Party and its Representatives from any discussion, telephone call or meeting with a Governmental Authority to the extent such reasonably expects such discussion, telephone call or meeting to involve the disclosure of competitively sensitive information concerning such Party or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that such Party shall inform the other Party that such discussion, telephone call or meeting occurred. Subject to Applicable Law, the Parties will consult and cooperate with each other in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments and proposals made or submitted to any Governmental Authority regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents by or on behalf of any Party.

4.5 Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to Closing Date, the Facility Employees and Service Employees may, in the sole discretion of TGOC, continue in the same role as employees of TGOC. Nothing in this Section 4.5 shall affect the right of TGOC to direct the activities of or terminate the employment of any Facility Employee or Service Employee for any reason or at any time. At all times prior to the Closing Date, TGOC shall continue to have the exclusive right to the services of the Facility Employees and Service Employees and shall make any and all employment decisions regarding Facility Employees and Service Employees as it shall deem appropriate. TGOC shall be exclusively responsible for the payment of all wages, provision of all benefits and compliance with all Applicable Laws with respect to the Facility Employees and Service Employees with respect to employment by TGOC or termination by TGOC of employment of any Facility Employees and Service Employees.

(b) Purchaser agrees that, without Seller's prior written consent, neither it nor any of its Affiliates will solicit for hire or employment or employ, and it shall cause Purchaser Service Company and its Affiliates not to solicit for hire or employment or employ, any Service Employee who is not identified on Schedule 4.5(b), which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any Facility Employees, which Purchaser, Purchaser Service Company or their respective Affiliates, learned of in connection with the acquisition contemplated hereby for a period of two (2) years after the Effective Date, except that the foregoing shall: (i) not apply to any solicitation (or any hiring as a result of any solicitation) that consists of advertising in a newspaper or periodical of general circulation or through similar general circulation on the internet not specifically directed toward such specified Persons; and (ii) not be construed to prohibit Purchaser or Purchaser Service Company from hiring any Persons who on their own submit an application for employment that is not solicited by Purchaser or Purchaser Service Company.

(c) Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has provided to Purchaser a true and correct list of (i) certain employee information relating to employment, employee compensation and benefits of the Facility Employees, including such Facility Employee's current base salary or wage rate, annual incentive opportunity, and annual bonuses received for the past two (2) years, and (ii) specific information relating to each such Facility Employee as of the day immediately preceding the Effective Date regarding such Facility Employee's job title, years of service, hire date, exempt and non-exempt status, salaried and hourly status, and leave status (including the type and duration of such leave) ("Employee Information"), and, subject to the consent of any such Facility Employee that Seller or its applicable Affiliates determines is required by Applicable Law, such other non-public personal information regarding each Facility Employee as is necessary for Purchaser to meet its obligations under this Section 4.5. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the Employee Information.

(d) Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall make, or shall cause Purchaser Service Company to make, offers to employ each Facility Employee, in a comparable role consistent with the same or similar job duties that such Facility Employee had with TGOC. All such offers shall be in writing and provide for the manner in which each Facility Employee may accept, or shall be deemed to have accepted, or reject, or shall be deemed to have rejected, such offer. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser to ensure that these offers are furnished to the Facility Employees. Each offer of employment to a Facility Employee shall be effective as of the Closing. Immediately prior to the Closing, the employment of each Facility Employee shall be terminated by TGOC, and TGOC shall offer to compensate each Facility Employee for unused vacation time. Each Facility Employee who accepts, or is deemed to have accepted, the offer of employment from Purchaser or Purchaser Service Company in accordance with the terms of such offer, and commences employment with Purchaser or Purchaser Service Company, shall be referred to as a "Transferred Employee". Such employment with Purchaser or Purchaser Service Company, as applicable, shall be effective as of the Closing Date. With respect to Transferred Employees, Purchaser shall, or shall cause Purchaser Service Company to, continue such employment with compensation and benefits that, taken as a whole, are at a level substantially similar to the compensation and benefits (other than any severance benefits or equity interests) provided by TGOC to such Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the compensation offered to the Facility Employee listed on Schedule 4.5(d) may be less than what is provided by TGOC immediately prior to the Closing Date. With respect to any Facility Employee that rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, an employment offer from Purchaser or Purchaser Service Company, neither Purchaser nor Purchaser Service Company shall be responsible for any severance or other obligations to such Facility Employee or Service Employee.

(e) Effective as of the Closing Date, each Facility Employee who accepts an offer of employment from Purchaser or Purchaser Service Company shall cease to participate in all Facility Employees' Benefit Plans. Purchaser shall not assume any of the Facility Employees' Benefit Plans or any other liability in respect of any employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements of Seller or any of its ERISA Affiliates.

(f) For a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall or shall cause each Purchaser Service Company to provide each Transferred Employee with compensation and employee benefits that are, in the aggregate, substantially similar to those provided, whether by policy or in practice in the ordinary course of business, by TGOC to its employees immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the compensation provided to the Facility Employee listed on Schedule 4.5(d) may be less than what is provided by TGOC immediately prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall, and shall cause Purchaser Service Company to, honor all unused vacation time accrued by the Facility Employees under the policies and practices of the applicable Affiliates of Seller Group immediately prior to the Closing Date who do not accept the compensation offered by TGOC to them in accordance with Section 4.5(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no obligations pursuant to this Section 4.5(f) with respect to any Transferred Employee who is terminated by Purchaser, Purchaser Service Company or any of their Affiliates for Cause.

(g) For each Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents covered immediately prior to the Closing Date by a group health plan under the Facility Employees' Benefit Plans, and who becomes covered under a group health plan maintained by Purchaser, Purchaser Service Company or any of their Affiliates, Purchaser or Purchaser Service company shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide credit, for the plan year during which such coverage under such Purchaser group health plan begins, with respect to any deductibles and co-payments already incurred by such Transferred Employee and his or her enrolled dependents during such plan year. Each Transferred Employee shall be responsible for providing the necessary information to Purchaser or Purchaser Service Company based on explanation of benefit forms received by the Transferred Employee and such Transferred Employee's enrolled dependents from the Facility Employees' Benefit Plans' group health plan.

(h) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause Purchaser Service Company to, recognize each Transferred Employee's years of service with Seller's Affiliates and any other Person that was acquired directly or indirectly by Seller or any of its Affiliates (whether through purchase, merger or other combination) for purposes of eligibility and participation under all Purchaser, Purchaser Service Company or Affiliate Benefit Plans and benefit programs and policies maintained after the Closing by Purchaser, Purchaser Service Company or an Affiliate of Purchaser.

(i) Purchaser shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause each employee welfare benefit plan or program sponsored by Purchaser, a Purchaser Service Company or Affiliate of Purchaser to waive any preexisting condition exclusion or restriction with respect to eligibility, participation and coverage requirements and restrictions applicable to Transferred Employees.

(j) If the employment of any Transferred Employee is terminated by Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser or Purchaser Service Company for a reason other than Cause within twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates or Purchaser Service Company to, provide such Transferred Employee with severance benefits equal to the severance benefits described in the severance plan that a Purchaser Service Company makes available to its similarly situated employees and that would have been provided to such employee if his or her employment had been terminated under circumstances entitling such employee to benefits under such severance plan. All obligations under this Section 4.5(j) shall terminate on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall have no obligations with respect to severance or otherwise pursuant to this Section 4.5(j) to any Transferred Employee who is terminated by Purchaser, Purchaser Service Company or any of their Affiliates for Cause.

(k) For any Transferred Employee terminated as described in Section 4.5(j), Purchaser shall offer continuing group health plan coverage to such Transferred Employees under or equivalent to the continuation coverage required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985.

(l) Claims of individuals receiving short-term or long-term disability benefits under a Facility Employees' Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of the applicable Affiliate of Seller and the applicable Facility Employees' Benefit Plans. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, claims for short-term or long-term disability benefits presented after the Closing Date by any Transferred Employee employed or retained by Purchaser Service Company shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser and its Affiliates (without regard to whether the circumstances giving rise to such claim occurred before, on or after the Closing Date).

(m) Claims for workers' compensation benefits for Transferred Employees arising out of occurrences prior to the Closing Date and all claims for Facility Employees and Service Employees who are not Transferred Employees shall be the responsibility of TGOC. Claims for workers' compensation benefits for Transferred Employees arising out of occurrences on or after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Purchaser.

(n) The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 4.5 are included for the sole benefit of the Parties. This Agreement is not intended by the Parties to, and nothing in this Section 4.5 or otherwise in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall, (i) constitute an amendment to any Benefit Plan or (ii) confer on any Transferred Employee or any other Person (other than the Parties) any rights or remedies (including any right to employment or other service relationship or any third-party beneficiary rights).

4.6 Cooperation; Further Assurances.

(a) Without limiting Section 4.3(a), the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another prior to Closing in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the anticipated transition of the Acquired Companies and the Projects to Purchaser.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Applicable Law, the Parties each agree that from time to time, that they will execute and deliver or cause their respective Affiliates (including, with respect to Seller, by causing the Acquired Companies) to execute and deliver such further instruments, and take (or cause their respective Affiliates, including, with respect to Seller, by causing the Acquired Companies to take) such other action, as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

4.7 Casualty.

(a) If, during the Interim Period, any Assets of the Operating Acquired Companies are damaged or destroyed by any casualty event (a "Casualty Loss") or are taken, in part or in whole, by any Governmental Authority, then Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, no later than thirty (30) days following such event, a good faith and reasonable estimate of (i) in the case of such a casualty event, the sum of (x) the cost of restoring such Assets to a condition operationally comparable to their condition immediately prior to such Casualty Loss, plus (y) the Casualty Restoration Period Income or (ii) in the case of such a taking or any portion of such Assets that will not be restored, the reduction in the net present value of such Assets as a result of such taking or casualty. Such good faith and reasonable estimate in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) shall be net of and after giving effect to (A) any condemnation award or other third party proceeds to cover Liabilities as a result of the Casualty Loss which the relevant Operating Acquired Company will have received as of the Closing or will have received written notice that it will receive such award or proceeds within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, (B) any Tax benefits reasonably expected to be realized by the relevant Acquired Company as a result of such casualty or condemnation event, other than any portion of such benefits that reduces pre-Closing Taxes, and (C) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller or any of its Affiliates to restore the affected Assets to the condition described in clause (a)(i) of this Section 4.7 (such aggregate estimate being a "Casualty Estimate"). Any Casualty Estimate shall be prepared based on the best reasonably available information as of the date of such Casualty Estimate and if the Closing or Termination Date is expected to occur prior to the expiration of the thirty (30)-day period referenced above, then the Closing Date and the Termination Date, as applicable, shall be postponed, if necessary, to the tenth (10th) Business Day after such Casualty Estimate is made.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.7, if Purchaser objects to Seller's Casualty Estimate pursuant to this Section 4.7 in writing (including a description in reasonable detail of the basis for such objection and reasonable supporting documentation) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Seller's Casualty Estimate, and Seller and Purchaser are not able within ten (10) Business Days thereafter to reasonably agree in good faith on a mutually acceptable revision to such Casualty Estimate to address such objections, then Seller shall cause an independent engineering firm reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller to prepare the appropriate Casualty Estimate as promptly as practicable, which Casualty Estimate shall be final and binding upon the Parties absent manifest error or gross negligence or willful misconduct of the independent firm; provided that, if the Closing or Termination Date is expected to occur prior to the determination of the Casualty Estimate in accordance with this Section 4.7(b), then the Closing Date and the Termination Date, as applicable, shall be postponed, if necessary, to the tenth (10th) Business Day after such Casualty Estimate is determined in accordance with this Section 4.7(b).

(c) In the event the Casualty Estimate is greater than \$250,000 and less than \$20,000,000, individually or in the aggregate for all Assets of the Operating Acquired Companies, Seller may elect, at its sole discretion, to (i) restore, repair or replace the Assets subject to the Casualty Loss to a condition operationally comparable to their condition immediately prior to such Casualty Loss or (ii) reduce the Base Purchase Price by an amount equal to such Casualty Estimate less any amounts reasonably expended by Seller or its Affiliates to restore the affected Project not previously taken into account in the Casualty Estimate, in which case Purchaser shall, taking such reduction into account, be obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (assuming the satisfaction or, when permissible, waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.5 and 2.6 (other than any such conditions which by their terms are not capable of being satisfied until the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions)) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Seller elects to restore, repair or replace the Assets subject to the Casualty Loss pursuant to clause (i) above, Seller will complete or cause to be completed, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, the repair, replacement or restoration of such Assets in accordance with prudent industry practice prior to Closing and the Closing Date shall be postponed for the amount of time reasonably necessary to complete the restoration, repair or replacement of such Assets as reasonably agreed among Purchaser and Seller (provided that such postponement shall not extend beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. If the Casualty Estimate equals \$250,000 or less, (A) neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have the right or option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.7 and (B) there shall be no reduction in the amount of the Base Purchase Price with respect to such Casualty Estimate.

(d) In the event the Casualty Estimate is greater than or equal to \$20,000,000, individually or in the aggregate for all Assets of the Operating Acquired Companies, (i) either Purchaser or Seller may elect, in their respective sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party or (ii) if neither Purchaser nor Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.7(d) within thirty (30) days following determination of the final Casualty Estimate, Purchaser may elect to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in which case the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Casualty Estimate less any amounts reasonably expended by Seller or its Affiliates to restore the affected Assets not previously taken into account in the Casualty Estimate.

(e) In the event that the Casualty Estimate is incorrect and: (i) Purchaser's or the Operating Acquired Companies' actual recovery of casualty proceeds, third party proceeds and Tax benefits is less than those used in the calculation of the Casualty Estimate, Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser the amount by which the actual recovery was less than the Casualty Estimate; or (ii) Purchaser's or the Operating Acquired Companies' actual recovery of casualty proceeds, third party proceeds or Tax benefits is greater than those used in the calculation of the Casualty Estimate, Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller the amount by which the actual recovery was greater than the Casualty Estimate.

4.8 Support Obligations.

(a) Purchaser recognizes that certain Affiliates of Seller (other than the Acquired Companies) have provided the Support Obligations set forth on Schedule 3.1(s)(i).

(b) Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall provide comparable substitute credit support, guarantees, letters of credit or other commitments to replace the Support Obligations set forth on Schedule 3.1(s)(i). Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into such assignments and other documentation (the "Support Obligation Termination Documentation") reasonably requested by the counterparties to the Material Contracts requiring such Support Obligations in connection with (i) effecting the full and unconditional release, effective as of the Closing Date, of Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) from such Support Obligations and (ii) procuring the termination and redelivery to Seller of each original document evidencing such Support Obligations released or replaced pursuant to this Section 4.8.

4.9 Use of Certain Names. Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Companies to cease using the words "Terra-Gen" (or any words that may cause a reasonable likelihood of confusion with the words "Terra-Gen") or constituting an abbreviation or extension thereof, and any logos associated therewith (the "Seller Marks"), including eliminating or covering the Seller Marks from the property of the Acquired Companies and disposing of any unused stationery and literature of the Acquired Companies bearing the Seller Marks. Thereafter, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Acquired Companies and their Affiliates not to, use the Seller Marks or any logos, trademarks, trade names embodying the Seller Marks, and Purchaser acknowledges that it, its Affiliates and the Acquired Companies have no rights hereunder to use the Seller Marks. Without limiting the foregoing:

(a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause any Acquired Company whose name contains any of the Seller Marks to change its name to a name that does not contain any of the Seller Marks.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after compliance with Section 4.9(a), Purchaser shall certify in writing to Seller that Purchaser has made all filings required pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

4.10 Insurance. Purchaser acknowledges that all Insurance Policies shall terminate as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for providing any insurance to the Acquired Companies for any claims made after the Closing.

4.11 Exclusivity. Except with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller agrees that it will not, and will cause its Affiliates, the Acquired Companies and each of its and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and other agents and Representatives (including any investment banking, legal or accounting firm retained by it or any of them and any individual member or employee of the foregoing) not to: (a) initiate, solicit, seek, encourage, facilitate or continue, directly or indirectly, any inquiries or the making or implementation of any proposal or offer (including any proposal or offer to its shareholders or any of them) with respect to a merger, acquisition, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, equity investment or similar transaction involving, or any purchase of all or any substantial portion of the Assets of or the purchase or issuance of any Interest in, the Acquired Companies (any such inquiry, proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as a "Proposal"), (b) engage in any negotiations concerning, or knowingly provide any Confidential Information or data to, or have any substantive discussions with, any person relating to a possible Proposal, (c) otherwise knowingly cooperate in any effort or attempt to make, implement or accept a Proposal, or (d) enter into any Contract or other instruments (whether or not binding) with any Person relating to a Proposal. Seller shall immediate cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) and their and such Affiliates' respective Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to a possible Proposal. Seller agrees that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 4.11 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach of this Section 4.11 will cause irreparable injury to Purchaser and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Purchaser.

4.12 R&W Policy. Purchaser has entered into a binding agreement with the insurer of the R&W Policy to incept the R&W Policy as of the date of this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller with regard to the matters set forth in the third sentence of this Section 4.12. Purchaser agrees that Seller shall not be responsible for (and that Purchaser shall be responsible for) any costs of the R&W Policy, including any premium, underwriting fees, brokerage commissions, the retention under the R&W Policy or any other costs, fees and expenses for or related to the R&W Policy. Purchaser shall cause the R&W Policy to expressly provide that the insurer under the R&W Policy waives, and agrees not to pursue, directly or indirectly, any subrogation rights against Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to any claim made by any insured thereunder, other than subrogation rights against Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to Fraud. Purchaser shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to, amend, modify or otherwise change, terminate or waive any provision of the R&W Policy (i) with respect to the waiver of subrogation set forth therein or (ii) in any manner that would be reasonably likely to increase or expand the ability or rights of the insurer thereunder to bring an Action against, or otherwise seek recourse from Seller, in each case without the prior written consent of the Seller.

ARTICLE 5 TAX MATTERS

5.1 Certain Taxes.

(a) For any Taxes with respect to which the taxable period of any Acquired Company ends on or before the Closing Date, Seller or such Acquired Company shall timely prepare and file with the appropriate authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by such Acquired Company. After the Closing Date, Purchaser shall timely prepare and file with the appropriate authorities all other Tax Returns required to be filed by each Acquired Company. Purchaser shall permit Seller, prior to filing, a reasonable time to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence for which a material part of the period covered by the Tax Return is before the Closing Date.

(b) All real property Taxes, personal property Taxes and similar obligations of each Acquired Company imposed by any Governmental Authority that relate to an Overlap Period shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser on a per-diem basis, and all income Taxes, sales and use Taxes and withholding Taxes that relate to an Overlap Period of an Acquired Company shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as determined from the books and records of the Acquired Companies as though the taxable year of such Acquired Company had terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date. Seller shall be liable for the Taxes of the Acquired Companies that are attributable to the portion of all Overlap Periods ending on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be liable for the Taxes of the Acquired Companies attributable to the portion of all Overlap Periods beginning after the Closing Date. If any refund, rebate or similar payment is received by any Acquired Company or Purchaser for any real property Taxes, personal property Taxes or similar obligations referred to above that relate to an Overlap Period, such amount shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as aforesaid on the basis of their respective obligations with respect to such Overlap Period.

(c) Purchaser shall not amend, refile or otherwise modify, or cause or permit to be amended, refiled or otherwise modified, any Tax Return with respect to the Acquired Companies filed by Seller for any taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, employees and agents reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns of each Acquired Company, including maintaining and making available to each other all records that are necessary for the preparation of any Tax Returns that the Party is required to file under this ARTICLE 5, and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to such Tax Returns.

(e) All sales, use transfer, real property transfer, recording, gains, stock transfer, value-added and other similar Taxes and fees ("Transfer Taxes"), if any, arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement shall be split equally by Seller and Purchaser. Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with such Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed by Seller, and Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide such Tax Returns to Purchaser at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date such Tax Returns are due to be filed.

(f) Seller shall have the exclusive authority to control, at its sole cost and expense, any audit or examination by any taxing authority, amend any Tax Return, and contest, resolve and defend against any assessment for additional Taxes, notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of or relating to any income Tax liability of the Project Companies for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (each, a "Tax Matter"), provided, however, that Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser's expense) reasonable participation rights with respect to so much of any Tax Matter that is reasonably likely to affect the Tax liability of Purchaser or any Acquired Company for any period after the Closing Date. Seller will promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of all notices, information document requests, communications, reports and writings received from the IRS or any state or local tax authority with respect to any Tax Matter and will keep Purchaser advised of all developments with respect to such Tax Matter. Seller shall not enter into any settlement of, or otherwise compromise, any such Tax Matter that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect Purchaser or the Acquired Companies for any period after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Seller shall be entitled to any Tax refund relating to Taxes for any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date and to initiate any claim for refund for any such period, and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller to initiate or pursue any such claim.

(g) Except as provided in Section 5.1(f), Purchaser shall have the exclusive authority to control any Tax Matter. Purchaser shall not enter into any settlement of, or otherwise compromise, any such Tax Matter that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect Seller without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser will promptly deliver to Seller copies of all notices, information document requests, communications, reports and writings received from the IRS or any state or local tax authority with respect to any Tax Matter relating to an Overlap Period for which Seller may have material liability and will keep Seller advised of all developments with respect to such Tax Matter. Purchaser will provide to Seller (at Seller's expense) reasonable participation rights with respect to so much of any such Overlap Period Tax Matter for which Seller has potential material liability.

(h) Any Tax refund (including any interest received with respect thereto) for, or attributable to, a Pre-Closing Period that is received by an Acquired Company or credited against a Tax that an Acquired Company would have been required to pay in a Post-Closing Period shall be for the account of Seller, and Purchaser shall pay over to Seller any such amounts within fifteen (15) days after the receipt or entitlement of such refund or credit.

5.2 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Parties shall treat the sale and purchase of each Lessor as a sale and purchase of stock in a corporation and of the Project Company Interests as a sale and purchase of the Assets of the Project Companies. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among such stock and Assets in accordance with a purchase price allocation prepared by Purchaser and subject to the review and consent of Seller. Seller shall provide Purchaser with any information reasonably requested and required to complete IRS Form 8594 and Purchaser shall complete such form and shall furnish Seller with a draft of such form within ninety (90) following the Closing Date. If the Parties are unable to agree on the final purchase price allocation, then the final purchase price allocation will be determined by the Neutral Auditor, and the costs associated with such accounting firm will be borne equally by the Parties. No Party shall file any Tax Return or take a position with any Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with the agreed or determined purchase price allocations and IRS Form 8594. Purchaser and Seller shall otherwise cooperate with any reasonable request of the other Party in respect of such allocation and each Party's Tax treatment of the transactions herein contemplated.

ARTICLE 6 TERMINATION

6.1 Termination. Without limiting any Party's ability to exercise any right or remedy to which it is entitled hereunder or under any of the Transaction Documents, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing only as follows:

(a) by either Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, if the Closing has not been consummated by the close of business on August 20, 2021, unless extended by written agreement of the Parties (such date, as the same may be so extended, the "Termination Date"); provided, however, that the Party seeking termination under this Section 6.1(a) is not in default or breach hereunder and has not failed to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement, which default, breach or failure has been a principal cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date;

(b) by the express mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

(c) by either Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, in the event Seller (with respect to a termination by Purchaser) or Purchaser (with respect to a termination by Seller) is in material breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement such that any of the conditions in Section 2.5 or Section 2.6, as applicable, could not be satisfied, the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement has provided written notice of such breach to the breaching Party and such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice; provided, however, that the Party seeking termination pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) is not then in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; provided, further, without limiting Section 6.1(e), but notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed by the Parties that Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) in respect of any breach of Seller caused solely by the occurrence of a Casualty Loss or condemnation event described in Section 4.7, and any reduction in the Base Purchase Price pursuant to Section 4.7 or restoration of Assets of the Operating Acquired Companies in accordance with Section 4.7(c)(ii) shall, for the avoidance of doubt, cure any such breach for all purposes hereunder;

(d) by Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, if any Governmental Authority shall have issued any Applicable Law or Order or taken any other action (in each case, other than any condemnation event described in Section 4.7) permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Applicable Law, Order or other action shall not be subject to appeal or shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(e) by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.7(d).

6.2 Procedure and Effect of Termination.

(a) The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party in accordance with Section 8.7, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is effected.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any Party, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the agreements contained in Section 4.2, Section 4.3(a)(iv)(B), this Section 6.2, and ARTICLE 8 shall survive the termination and (ii) no termination of this Agreement shall relieve any Party of any liability or damages arising out of, or resulting from, any intentional or willful breach of this Agreement that results in the failure of the Closing to occur; provided, however, that no Party shall be liable for any special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits).

ARTICLE 7 NO SURVIVAL

7.1 No Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and any certificate delivered pursuant hereto (other than the covenants and agreements that by their terms are expressly required to be performed after the Closing (the "Surviving Covenants")) will survive the Closing (it being understood that nothing in this Section 7.1 is intended to affect or limit the ability of Purchaser to recover under the R&W Policy for any matters covered thereunder), and the Surviving Covenants will survive the Closing until the date on which each such covenant is fully performed, and thereafter there will be no Liability on the part of, nor will any claim be made by, any Party or any of its respective Affiliates in respect thereof. It is the express intent of the Parties that the survival of each representation and warranty in this Agreement is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such representation or warranty, and, by Contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such representation or warranty is hereby reduced so that it ends at the Closing, as provided in this Section 7.1.

39

7.2 Limitations.

(a) From and after the Closing, except (i) for the right to pursue specific performance pursuant to Section 8.1(a), (ii) any claim for Fraud and (iii) pursuant to Section 2.3 (but otherwise subject to the limitations therein), the sole and exclusive source of recovery in respect of any claim by Purchaser for (A) any and all damages or other claims relating to or arising from this Agreement, including breach of the covenants, arising out of or in any way related to any claim or cause of action with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the Surviving Covenants), or (B) breach of the representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement and any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, shall be the R&W Policy, and in no event shall Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person have any direct or indirect Liability or obligation in respect of any such claim.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 7.2(a), the Purchaser may not avoid the limitations on liability set forth in this Section 7.2 by seeking damages for breach of Contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of Liability, all of which are hereby waived. The Parties agree that the limits imposed on the remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties, constitute a material term of this Agreement, and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Seller hereunder. The conditions and limitations set forth in this Article VII will apply even if (a) the R&W Policy is never issued by an insurer, (b) the R&W Policy is revoked, cancelled, or modified in any manner after issuance, or (c) Purchaser makes a claim under the R&W Policy and such claim is denied by the insurer.

ARTICLE 8 GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1 Remedies; Waiver of Other Representations.

(a) Subject to ARTICLE VII, but otherwise notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) each Party recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement may cause the other Party to sustain irreparable harm for which they would not have an adequate remedy at law, and therefore in the event of any such breach or threatened breach the aggrieved Party shall, without the posting of bond or other security (any requirement for which the Parties hereby waive), be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agreements, including consummation of the Closing, and injunctive and other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedy to which it might be entitled pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, (ii) a Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and (iii) in the event that any Action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party will allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT FOR THOSE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, (I) IT IS THE EXPLICIT INTENT OF EACH PARTY, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE, THAT NEITHER SELLER, ON THE ONE HAND, NOR PURCHASER, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAVE MADE OR ARE MAKING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, USAGE, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUIRED INTERESTS, THE PROJECT, THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES OR ANY PART THEREOF, (II) THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES ARE BEING TRANSFERRED THROUGH THE SALE OF THE ACQUIRED INTERESTS "AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS," (III) SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE CONDITION (FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE), VALUE OR QUALITY OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES AND THEIR ASSETS (INCLUDING THE GEOTHERMAL RESOURCE OF THE PROJECT), THE PROJECT OR THE PROSPECTS (FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE), RISKS, BUSINESS, OPERATIONS, ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND OTHER INCIDENTS OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES, THEIR ASSETS, OR THE PROJECT OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS BY SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO PURCHASER OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING AND (IV) PURCHASER HAS NOT EXECUTED OR AUTHORIZED THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN RELIANCE UPON ANY SUCH PROMISE, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8.1(B) LIMITS THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN OR WILL LIMIT, RESTRICT OR PROHIBIT ANY CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF FRAUD.

8.2 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules are incorporated herein by reference, provided that Seller makes no representation or warranty as to any matter disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Schedule, except as expressly provided in ARTICLE 3 hereof.

8.3 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each Party against which enforcement of such amendment or modification is sought. Any failure of Seller or Purchaser to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained herein may be waived only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by each Party to be bound thereby, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other failure.

8.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Applicable Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.

8.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Party will be responsible for paying all of the costs, fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided that, Purchaser shall bear all the costs of all filing fees and expenses with respect to any filings required under the HSR Act in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.6 Parties in Interest.

RECITALS:

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and as an inducement for Purchaser's execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of Purchaser as follows:

1. GUARANTY.

This Guaranty shall constitute a continuing guarantee of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, but not of collection.
  • (b) Guarantor is liable for the timely and complete payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth in this Guaranty, as a primary obligor. Without waiving any of Guarantor's rights hereunder, this Guaranty is effective as a waiver of, and Guarantor hereby expressly waives, any and all defenses and other rights to which Guarantor may otherwise have been entitled under any applicable suretyship laws in effect from time to time.
  • (c) No exculpatory language contained in any of the other Transaction Documents shall in any event or under any circumstances modify, qualify or affect the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent expressly set forth herein.

It is the intent of Guarantor and Purchaser that, subject to the terms of this Guaranty, including Section 2, (i) the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and (ii) so long as any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be outstanding, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or released in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence (including the fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced) that might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantor.
  • (d) Except as provided in Section 2(b) or to the extent of any set-off, offset, claim or defense expressly provided for in this Guaranty, the Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Purchaser hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future set-off, offset, claim or defense of any kind or nature that any of Obligor, Guarantor or any other Person has or may hereafter have against Purchaser or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
  • (e) The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate Action or Actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any Action is brought against Obligor or whether Obligor is joined in any such Action or Actions.
  • 2. LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Guaranty to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be subject to the following limitations:
  • (a) The maximum aggregate monetary liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the maximum monetary recovery from Guarantor under this Guaranty shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount of payments owing by Obligor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, plus any out of pocket costs of collection and enforcement of this Guaranty (including attorney's fees) to the extent reasonably and actually incurred by Purchaser in enforcing Guarantor's obligations hereunder if it is ultimately determined that the Guarantor is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations.
  • (b) The obligation and liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty is specifically limited to payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations required to be made by Obligor under the Agreement, subject to any and all rights, set-offs, offsets, claims, counterclaims, limitations, qualifications and other defenses, solely to the extent that each of the foregoing are available to Obligor under the Agreement, other than those described in Section 8 (collectively, the "Waived Defenses").
  • (c) To the extent Obligor is relieved of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations by satisfaction thereof (including, without limitation, by any payment hereunder) or pursuant to any express written agreement with Obligor, Guarantor shall be similarly relieved, to such extent, of its obligations under this Guaranty.

  • (d) Guarantor has no obligation or liability to any Person relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or the Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, other than as expressly set forth herein.

  • (e) This Guaranty may not be enforced without first giving full effect to the limitations contained herein.

3. DEMANDS AND PAYMENT.

(a) If Obligor fails to completely and promptly pay or perform any Guaranteed Obligation to Purchaser when such Guaranteed Obligation is finally determined to be due and owing under the Agreement (an "Overdue Obligation"), Guarantor shall, promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) upon demand by Purchaser (a "Payment Demand") and without any other notice whatsoever, pay the amount due thereon to Purchaser or, as applicable, perform such Overdue Obligation(s). Amounts not paid when due hereunder shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 13(j) hereof.

  • (b) Guarantor's obligation hereunder to pay or perform any particular Overdue Obligation(s) to Purchaser is conditioned upon Guarantor's receipt of a Payment Demand from Purchaser satisfying the following requirements: (i) such Payment Demand must be delivered to Guarantor in accordance with Section 12 below; and (ii) the specific Overdue Obligation(s) or any portion thereof addressed by such Payment Demand must remain due and unpaid at the time of such delivery to Guarantor.
  • (c) So long as Purchaser has validly made a Payment Demand in accordance with the requirements specified in Section 3(b), it shall not be necessary for Purchaser, in order to enforce such payment or performance by Guarantor specified in such Payment Demand (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights that Guarantor may have to require Purchaser), to separately take any action, obtain any judgment or file any claim prior to enforcing this Guaranty, including to institute suit or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against Obligor or others liable for such payment or for such performance, or to join Obligor for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof in any Action to enforce this Guaranty, or to resort to any other means of obtaining payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Subject to Purchaser's obligations in the Agreement, Purchaser shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder.
  • (d) Suit may be brought or demand may be made against Obligor or Guarantor, separately or together, without impairing the rights of Purchaser against any party hereto. Any time that Purchaser is entitled to exercise its rights or remedies hereunder, it may in its discretion elect to demand payment or payment in lieu of performance, all to the extent of its right to so elect under the terms of the Agreement. Subject to Section 10 hereof, if Purchaser makes a Payment Demand hereunder, such election shall not affect Purchaser's right to demand payment thereafter under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Agreement, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

(e) After validly issuing a Payment Demand in accordance with the requirements specified in Section 3(b), Purchaser shall not be required to issue any further notices or make any further demands with respect to the Overdue Obligation(s) specified in that Payment Demand.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that:

  • (i) Guarantor is contemplating neither the filing of a petition under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws nor the liquidation of its assets or property and Guarantor does not have any knowledge (after due and diligent inquiry) of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it; and

  • (h) any change, whether direct or indirect, in Guarantor's relationship to Obligor, including any such change by reason of restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Obligor or any of its subsidiaries, any merger or consolidation or any sale, transfer, issuance, spin-off, distribution or other disposition of any stock, equity interest or other security of Obligor, Guarantor or any other entity;

  • (k) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor generally, it being the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of Guarantor and Purchaser that the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be direct and immediate in accordance with the terms hereof and that Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due hereunder.

9. REINSTATEMENT. In the event any payment by Obligor or any other person to Purchaser is rescinded or otherwise held to constitute a preference, fraudulent transfer or other voidable payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or if for any other reason Purchaser is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party, such payment by Obligor or any other party to Purchaser shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any liability hereunder, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (notwithstanding any prior release, surrender or discharge by Purchaser of this Guaranty or of Guarantor), as the case may be, with respect to, and this Guaranty shall apply to, any and all amounts so refunded by Purchaser or paid by Purchaser to another person (which amounts shall constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations), and any interest paid by Purchaser and any attorneys' fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Purchaser in connection with any such event. It is the intent of Guarantor and Purchaser that the obligations and liabilities hereunder are, subject to the terms of this Guaranty, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully and finally paid and performed or this Guaranty terminates in accordance with its terms, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or released, in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence that might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantor.

Form of Purchaser Parent Guaranty

PURCHASER PARENT GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY (this "Guaranty"), dated as of May 21 2021 (the "Effective Date"), is made by Ormat Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Guarantor"), in favor of TG Geothermal Portfolio, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Seller").

RECITALS:

  • A. WHEREAS, Seller and Deer Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Obligor"), have entered into that certain Agreement for Purchase of Membership Interests dated as of May 21, 2021 (the "Agreement");
  • B. WHEREAS, Obligor is an indirect subsidiary of Guarantor;
  • C. WHEREAS, Guarantor will directly and indirectly benefit from the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; and
  • D. WHEREAS, Seller requires as a condition to entering into the Agreement that Guarantor agrees to guaranty hereunder, for the benefit of Seller and its successors and assigns, the full and timely payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined);

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and as an inducement for Seller's execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of Seller as follows:

1. GUARANTY.

  • (a) Subject to the terms and provisions hereof, from and after the Effective Date through the Termination Date, Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the timely and complete payment and performance, when due, without duplication, of all obligations owing by Obligor to Seller pursuant to the Agreement (the "Guaranteed Obligations"). This Guaranty shall constitute a continuing guarantee of payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, but not of collection.
  • (b) Guarantor is liable for the timely and complete (i) payment and (ii) performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth in this Guaranty, as a primary obligor. Without waiving any of Guarantor's rights hereunder, this Guaranty is effective as a waiver of, and Guarantor hereby expressly waives, any and all defenses and other rights to which Guarantor may otherwise have been entitled under any applicable suretyship laws.

  • (c) No exculpatory language contained in any of the other Transaction Documents shall in any event or under any circumstances modify, qualify or affect the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent expressly set forth herein. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor. It is the intent of Guarantor and Seller that, subject to the terms of this Guaranty, including Section 2, (i) the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and (ii) so long as any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be outstanding, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or released in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence (including the fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced) that might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantor.

  • (d) Except as provided in Section 2(b) or to the extent of any set-off, offset, claim or defense expressly provided for in this Guaranty, the Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Seller hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future set-off, offset, claim or defense of any kind or nature that any of Obligor, Guarantor or any other Person has or may hereafter have against Seller or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
  • (e) The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate Action or Actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any Action is brought against Obligor or whether Obligor is joined in any such Action or Actions.
  • 2. LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Guaranty to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be subject to the following limitations:
  • (a) The maximum aggregate monetary liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the maximum monetary recovery from Guarantor under this Guaranty shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount of payments owing by Obligor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, plus any out of pocket costs of collection and enforcement of this Guaranty (including attorney's fees) to the extent reasonably and actually incurred by Seller in enforcing Guarantor's obligations hereunder if it is ultimately determined that the Guarantor is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations.
  • (b) The obligation and liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty is specifically limited to payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations required to be made by Obligor under the Agreement, subject to any and all rights, set-offs, offsets, claims, counterclaims, limitations, qualifications and other defenses, solely to the extent that each of the foregoing are available to Obligor under the Agreement, other than those described in Section 8 (collectively, the "Waived Defenses").
  • (c) To the extent Obligor is relieved of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations by satisfaction thereof (including, without limitation, by any payment hereunder) or pursuant to any express written agreement with Obligor, Guarantor shall be similarly relieved, to such extent, of its obligations under this Guaranty.

  • (d) Guarantor has no obligation or liability to any Person relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or the Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, other than as expressly set forth herein.

  • (e) This Guaranty may not be enforced without first giving full effect to the limitations contained herein.

3. DEMANDS AND PAYMENT.

  • (a) If Obligor fails to completely and promptly pay or perform any Guaranteed Obligation to Seller when such Guaranteed Obligation is finally determined to be due and owing under the Agreement (an "Overdue Obligation"), Guarantor shall, promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) upon demand by Seller (a "Payment Demand") and without any other notice whatsoever, pay the amount due thereon to Seller or, as applicable, perform such Overdue Obligation(s). Amounts not paid when due hereunder shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 13(j) hereof.
  • (b) Guarantor's obligation hereunder to pay or perform any particular Overdue Obligation(s) to Seller is conditioned upon Guarantor's receipt of a Payment Demand from Seller satisfying the following requirements: (i) such Payment Demand must be delivered to Guarantor in accordance with Section 12 below; and (ii) the specific Overdue Obligation(s) or any portion thereof addressed by such Payment Demand must remain due and unpaid at the time of such delivery to Guarantor.
  • (c) So long as Seller has validly made a Payment Demand in accordance with the requirements specified in Section 3(b), it shall not be necessary for Seller, in order to enforce such payment or performance by Guarantor specified in such Payment Demand (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights that Guarantor may have to require Seller), to separately take any action, obtain any judgment or file any claim prior to enforcing this Guaranty, including to institute suit or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against Obligor or others liable for such payment or for such performance, or to join Obligor for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof in any Action to enforce this Guaranty, or to resort to any other means of obtaining payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Subject to Seller's obligations in the Agreement, Seller shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder.
  • (d) Suit may be brought or demand may be made against Obligor or Guarantor, separately or together, without impairing the rights of Seller against any party hereto. Any time that Seller is entitled to exercise its rights or remedies hereunder, it may in its discretion elect to demand payment or payment in lieu of performance, all to the extent of its right to so elect under the terms of the Agreement. Subject to Section 10 hereof, if Seller makes a Payment Demand hereunder, such election shall not affect Seller's right to demand payment thereafter under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Agreement, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

(e) After validly issuing a Payment Demand in accordance with the requirements specified in Section 3(b), Seller shall not be required to issue any further notices or make any further demands with respect to the Overdue Obligation(s) specified in that Payment Demand.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that:

  • (a) it is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of this Guaranty;
  • (b) no authorization, approval, consent or order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental body having jurisdiction over Guarantor is required on the part of Guarantor for the execution and delivery of this Guaranty;
  • (c) this Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity);
  • (d) Guarantor has not entered into this Guaranty with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor. Guarantor received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor is not presently insolvent, and the execution and delivery of this Guaranty will not render Guarantor insolvent;
  • (e) the execution and delivery of this Guaranty and the performance of the obligations hereunder do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any existing Applicable Laws affecting Guarantor or any of its assets or property, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default (including any circumstance or event that would be a default but for the lack of due notice or lapse of time or both) under (A) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any of Guarantor's organizational documents or (B) any material agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is a party, or by which Guarantor or its assets or property are bound which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the performance of Guarantor's obligations and duties under this Guaranty or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of Guarantor's assets or property which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the performance of Guarantor's obligations and duties under this Guaranty;
  • (f) there is no action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation pending or, to the best of Guarantor's knowledge, threatened against Guarantor in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority, in each case, which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the performance of Guarantor's obligations and duties under this Guaranty;
  • (g) Guarantor is not in default or violation of any regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation or default of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor or would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder;

  • (h) except as provided herein, this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are not subject to, and Guarantor has not asserted, any right of rescission, offset, counterclaim, cross-claim, recoupment or affirmative or other defense of any kind and neither the operation of any of the terms of this Guaranty nor the exercise of any right hereunder will render this Guaranty unenforceable in whole or in part;

  • (i) Guarantor is contemplating neither the filing of a petition under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws nor the liquidation of its assets or property and Guarantor does not have any knowledge (after due and diligent inquiry) of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it; and
  • (j) all representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein are made as of the date hereof but shall survive the execution hereof.

5. SUBROGATION. Guarantor shall not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation, by any payment made under this Guaranty, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid or performed in full. If any amount is paid to Guarantor on account of subordination rights under this Guaranty at any time when the Guaranteed Obligations have not been paid in full, the amount shall be held in trust by Guarantor for the benefit of Seller and shall be promptly, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, paid to Seller to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent. If Guarantor shall make, or cause to be made, payment to Seller of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, upon satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Seller will, at Guarantor's reasonable request, execute and deliver to Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by Guarantor; provided that any rights of Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subordinate to all obligations of Obligor to Seller under the Agreement.

6. AMENDMENT OF GUARANTY. No term or provision of this Guaranty shall be amended, modified, altered, waived or supplemented except in a writing signed by Guarantor and Seller.

  • 7. WAIVERS AND CONSENTS. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Guaranty:
  • (a) Guarantor hereby waives (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty; (ii) presentment and demand concerning the liabilities of Guarantor; and (iii) any right to require that any Action be brought against Obligor or any other Person, or to require that Seller seek enforcement of any performance against Obligor or any other Person, prior to any action against Guarantor under the terms hereof.

(b) Without notice to or the consent of Guarantor, and without impairing or releasing Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty, Seller may: (i) change the manner, place or terms for payment or performance of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including renewals, extensions or other alterations of the Guaranteed Obligations); (ii) release Obligor or any Person (other than Guarantor) from liability for payment of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (iii) receive, substitute, surrender, exchange or release any collateral or other security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Subject to the terms of this Guaranty, (x) Guarantor shall remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, for any reason (and regardless of any joinder of Obligor or any other party in any Action to obtain payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations) described in this Section 8, (y) the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be altered, limited, impaired or otherwise affected by, nor shall Guarantor be exonerated, discharged or released (by virtue of any law, rule, arrangement or relationship) by, any one or more of the following events, actions, facts, or circumstances described in this Section 8, and (z) the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of and Guarantor waives any common law, equitable, statutory or other similar extra-contractual rights (including rights to notice) or defenses that Guarantor might now or hereafter have as a result of or in connection with any or all of the following:

  • (a) the taking or accepting of any other security or guaranty for, or right of recourse with respect to, any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, to the extent such taking or acceptance does not discharge the Guaranteed Obligations;
  • (b) whether express or by operation of any statute, regulation or rule of law, or otherwise, any limitation, discharge, cessation or partial release of the liability of Guarantor hereunder, other than as expressly provided herein;
  • (c) without limiting any right of Guarantor to assert set-offs, offsets, claims, counterclaims, limitations, qualifications and other defenses, solely to the extent each of the foregoing are available to Obligor, with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, either with or without notice to or consent of Guarantor, any valid renewal, extension, modification, supplement, subordination or rearrangement of the terms of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than this Guaranty), including, without limitation, material alterations of the terms of payment or performance or any other terms thereof;
  • (d) any neglect, lack of diligence, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of Seller to take or prosecute (or in taking or prosecuting) any action for the collection or enforcement of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
  • (e) if for any reason Seller is required to refund any payment by Obligor or pay the amount thereof, in each case, to a Person other than Obligor or Guarantor;
  • (f) the existence of any claim, set-off, or other right that Guarantor may at any time have against Seller, Obligor, or any other person, in each case, if arising outside of the Agreement or this Guaranty;

  • (g) any lack of validity or enforceability of all or any part of the Agreement or the lack of validity or enforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Agreement against Obligor for any reason whatsoever, including (i) the officers or persons creating the Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess of their authority or because of a lack of validity or enforceability or of defect or deficiency in the Agreement, other Transaction Document or any other document or agreement executed in connection with the creating of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (ii) the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is ultra vires, (iii) the Obligor's obligations cease to exist by operation of law or (iv) any of the Transaction Documents or any other document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, has been forged or otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic, in each case with respect to clause (iv) solely as a result of the action of Obligor or its Affiliates;

  • (h) any change, whether direct or indirect, in Guarantor's relationship to Obligor, including any such change by reason of restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Obligor or any of its subsidiaries, any merger or consolidation or any sale, transfer, issuance, spin-off, distribution or other disposition of any stock, equity interest or other security of Obligor, Guarantor or any other entity;
  • (i) any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Obligor or any defense which Obligor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding;
  • (j) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Guarantor or that may or might otherwise operate as a discharge of Guarantor as a matter of law or equity, other than (i) the payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations or (ii) as expressly set forth this Guaranty; and
  • (k) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor generally, it being the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of Guarantor and Seller that the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be direct and immediate in accordance with the terms hereof and that Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due hereunder.

9. REINSTATEMENT. In the event any payment by Obligor or any other person to Seller is rescinded or otherwise held to constitute a preference, fraudulent transfer or other voidable payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or if for any other reason Seller is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party, such payment by Obligor or any other party to Seller shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any liability hereunder, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (notwithstanding any prior release, surrender or discharge by Seller of this Guaranty or of Guarantor), as the case may be, with respect to, and this Guaranty shall apply to, any and all amounts so refunded by Seller or paid by Seller to another person (which amounts shall constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations), and any interest paid by Seller and any attorneys' fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Seller in connection with any such event. It is the intent of Guarantor and Seller that the obligations and liabilities hereunder are, subject to the terms of this Guaranty, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully and finally paid and performed or this Guaranty terminates in accordance with its terms, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or released, in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence that might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantor.

10. NO DUPLICATION. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, in no event shall (a) Seller be entitled to recover any amounts hereunder with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation to the extent Seller or its Affiliates has recovered such amounts under the Agreement or any Transaction Document or (b) there be any duplication of payments or recovery by Seller or its Affiliates under different provisions of this Guaranty, or under any provision of this Guaranty and any provision of the Agreement or any Transaction Document.

11. TERMINATION. This Guaranty and Guarantor's obligations hereunder will terminate automatically and immediately upon the date of termination of the Agreement; except to the extent there is liability of Obligor under Section 6.2(b) of the Agreement, but otherwise shall stay in effect until all Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives asserts, in oral argument before any Governmental Authority or in writing, in any Action that any of the provisions of Section 2 hereof are illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, then this Guaranty shall immediately terminate and the obligations and liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. The date that this Guaranty terminates is referred to herein as the "Termination Date." Upon any termination of this Guaranty, and from and after the Termination Date, Guarantor shall have no further obligation or liability under this Guaranty or in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, provided that notwithstanding any termination of this Guaranty, (x) any defenses or limitations on liability available to Guarantor (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligation or liability of Guarantor) under the terms of this Guaranty shall survive any termination of this Guaranty and the Termination Date and (y) if this Guaranty is terminated other than pursuant to the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 11, the rights of Seller under this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect with regard to (but solely to the extent of) any claim made hereunder prior to such Termination Date until the final resolution of such claim and Guarantor's performance of any obligations hereunder with regard thereto.
