As previously reported in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 5, 2008, on August 31, 2008, pursuant to the Financing Commitment, Thermo entered into several agreements (the "Thermo Financing Agreements"), whereby the Company finalized the project financing arrangements contemplated by the Financing Commitment. The Thermo Financing Agreements provided project financing and tax equity capital for the Project.

As previously reported in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, as amended, filed on December 11, 2009, the parties to the Thermo Financing Agreements entered into a series of amendments to the Thermo Financing Agreements in order to extend the Final Completion Date, modified the arrangements to be consistent with recent tax law changes under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and redeem the equity interest held by Merrill Lynch in Thermo.

On February 16, 2010, the parties to the Thermo Financing Agreements entered into additional amendments to Schedule Z of the Thermo Financing Agreements in order to extend the date upon which the Project is required to achieve final completion from February 16, 2010 to June 30, 2010.

On June 30, 2010, the parties to the Thermo Financing Agreements entered into additional definitional amendments to Schedule Z of the Thermo Financing Agreements (the "June 30 Amendment") in order to extend the date upon which the Project is required to achieve final completion from June 30, 2010 to July 9, 2010.

The foregoing description of the June 30 Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the June 30 Amendment, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is hereby incorporated by reference.
