(c)Procedures for Borrower.

(i)Subject to Sections 4.02, 4.03 and/or 4.04, as applicable, and except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may request the Lenders to make Loans to the Borrower by delivery to the Administrative Agent, on any Business Day, of a Borrowing Request in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto. The date of the proposed borrowing (each such date, a “Funding Date”) specified in a Borrowing Request shall be no earlier than twelve (12) Business Days after the delivery of such Borrowing Request; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial Funding Date hereunder shall occur on the Initial Funding Date without giving effect to such required twelve (12) Business Day period. Unless otherwise provided herein, each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the borrowing requested, and (ii) the proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day).

(ii)Borrower shall not deliver a Borrowing Request for Loans, and, subject to Sections 2.07(e) and 2.13, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make available any funds for any Loans, on any Funding Date in an aggregate amount for all Lenders exceeding (A) in the case of the Initial Funding Date, the Initial Funding Commitments, and (B) in the case of the Second Funding Date, the Second Funding Commitments.

(d)Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.01, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested borrowing.

(e)Tax Considerations. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each of the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Lenders agrees: (i) that the Initial Loans, together with the Initial Funding Warrants (including the rights granted thereunder to the Holders, as defined therein), shall be treated as an investment unit, and the purchase price of each such investment unit shall equal the total purchase price paid by the Lenders for the Initial Loans on the Initial Funding Date, and $577,778 of the purchase price of the investment unit shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated to the purchase of the Initial Funding Warrants; (ii) that the Loans funded on the Second Funding Date, together with the Second Funding Warrants (including the rights granted thereunder to the Holders, as defined therein), shall be treated as an investment unit, and the purchase price of each such investment unit shall equal the total purchase price paid by the Lenders for such Loans on the Second Funding Date, and $1,228,164 of the purchase price of the investment unit shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated to the purchase of the Second Funding Warrants; and (iii) to treat the Loans as a debt instrument, and not as a “contingent payment debt instrument,” for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. The Borrower will provide any information reasonably requested from time to time by any Lender regarding the original issue discount associated with the Loans for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each of Borrower and the Lenders agrees to file tax returns consistent with the allocation set forth in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for all purposes (except for the purpose of this Section 2.01(e)), each Lender shall be treated as having lent the full amount of its pro rata portion of the principal amount of the Loans.

Section 2.02Funding of the Loans. If the Borrower has satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 or 4.03, as applicable, and Section 4.04, not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the applicable Funding Date, each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to the Loans to be made by such Lender. Administrative Agent shall deposit the aggregate of the amounts made available to Administrative Agent by the Lenders, in like funds as received by Administrative Agent, into the Borrower Funding Account in accordance with the Borrowing Request or as otherwise agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower pursuant to any funds flow memorandum delivered in connection therewith. With respect to the Initial Loans, the Administrative Agent shall distribute the funds in accordance with the Funds Flow Memorandum.

Section 2.03Termination and Reduction of the Commitments.

(a)The Initial Funding Commitments shall automatically and without notice be reduced to zero and terminated upon the close of business on October 31, 2019 in the event that the Initial Funding Date has not occurred on or prior to such date.

Section 2.04Repayment of Loan; Evidence of Debt.

(a)Promise to Repay at Maturity. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans (including all amounts added to principal as Accrued Interest pursuant to Section 2.07(e)) on the Maturity Date then outstanding. Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from time to time outstanding from the applicable Funding Date until payment in full in cash thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.07.

(b)Evidence of Debt.

(i)Each Lender may maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from the Loans made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. In the case of a Lender that does not request execution and delivery of a Note evidencing the Loans made by such Lender to the Borrower, such account or accounts shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain such account or accounts or any error in any such account shall not limit or otherwise affect any obligations of the Borrower.

(ii)The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note (a “Note”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B payable to such Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Loan evidencing the Loans made by such Lender. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Notes (or on any continuation of such grid) with respect to each payment or prepayment of, and each addition of Accrued Interest to, the principal of the Loans evidenced thereby, which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby; provided that (i) notwithstanding any such notation or the absence thereof, as set forth in Section 2.07(f),

the Agent’s determination of the principal amount of the Loans outstanding at any time shall be conclusive and binding on all parties absent manifest error; and (ii) the failure of any Lender to make any such notations or any error in any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any obligations of the Borrower. A Note and the obligation evidenced thereby may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in part only in accordance with Section 10.04(b).

Section 2.05Prepayment of the Loan.

(a)Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent stating the prepayment date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, and subject to the requirements of this Section 2.05. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be accompanied by the Prepayment Premium, if any, with respect to the principal amount of the Loans being prepaid. Each partial prepayment of any Loans under this Section 2.05(a) shall be in an aggregate amount for the Loans of all Lenders at least equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as may be necessary to prepay the aggregate principal amount then outstanding with respect to all of the Loans of all Lenders).

(b)Mandatory Prepayments and Offers to Prepay.

(i)Event of Loss. With respect to any Event of Loss, if the proceeds received by any Loan Party, any Existing Foreign Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof in respect of such Event of Loss shall be in excess of $1,000,000 per individual Event of Loss or $2,000,000 in the aggregate per calendar year across all Events of Loss, and, in any such case, are not applied to the Restoration of the related Affected Property as permitted by the immediately succeeding sentence, then the Borrower shall offer to prepay the Loans with an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Amount with respect to such Event of Loss, pursuant to a written notice sent to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders describing in reasonable detail the event giving rise to the obligation under this Section 2.05(b)(i) to make such offer (each such offer to prepay referred to in this Section 2.05(b)(i), a “Event of Loss Prepayment Offer”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may use Loss Proceeds received in respect of any Event of Loss for the reinvestment of such funds in the Restoration of the Affected Property if the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Reinvestment Notice and a restoration plan reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such reinvestment is applied in accordance with such approved restoration plan. The Borrower shall cause all Loss Proceeds to be received in respect of any Event of Loss to be deposited in the Mandatory Prepayment Account in accordance with Section 5.18(h) and such Loss Proceeds shall be retained in the Mandatory Prepayment Account in accordance with Section 5.18(h) until such amounts are applied either (x) to the Restoration of the related Affected Property as permitted above or (y) applied to make a prepayment of Loans in connection with an Event of Loss Prepayment Offer pursuant to this clause (i).

(ii)Disposition of Assets. Without limiting the obligation of each Loan Party to obtain the consent of the Required Lenders to any sale, transfer or other disposition of any assets or property other than any Event of Loss (herein, a “Disposition”) not otherwise permitted hereunder, in the event that the Net Available Amount of any Disposition of any Loan Party or any Existing Foreign Subsidiary (other than any Disposition consisting of (x) sales of fuel cells or other inventory in the ordinary course of business or (y) a Permitted Project Disposition/Refinancing) shall exceed $500,000 per individual event or $1,000,000 in the aggregate per calendar year for all such Dispositions, then the Borrower shall offer to prepay the Loans ratably in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Amount of the Disposition on the Quarterly Payment Date immediately following receipt by any Loan Party or any Existing Foreign Subsidiary of the relevant proceeds; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to prepay the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii) to the extent that a Loan Party reinvests the Net Available Amount (or any portion thereof) of any such Disposition in substantially similar assets of a Loan Party that are necessary or useful for the Business pursuant to a transaction not prohibited hereunder and such Net Available Amount is so reinvested within 120 days of such Disposition, and any uninvested portion of such Net Available Amount shall be promptly applied to prepayments as contemplated by this Section 2.05(b)(ii). Any such offer to prepay shall be made pursuant to a written notice sent to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders describing in reasonable detail the event giving rise to the obligation under this Section 2.05(b)(ii) to make such offer (each such offer to prepay referred to in this Section 2.05(b)(ii), a “Disposition Proceeds Prepayment Offer”). The Borrower shall cause all proceeds to any Loan Party or any Existing Foreign Subsidiary of any Disposition (other than any Disposition consisting of (x) sales of fuel cells or other inventory in the ordinary course of business or (y) a Permitted Project Disposition/Refinancing) to be deposited in the Mandatory Prepayment Account in accordance with Section 5.18(h) and such proceeds shall be retained in the Mandatory Prepayment Account in accordance with Section 5.18(h) until such amounts are applied either (x) to reinvest in substantially similar assets of a Loan Party that are necessary or useful for the Business as permitted above or (y) applied to make a prepayment of Loans in connection with a Disposition Proceeds Prepayment Offer pursuant to this clause (ii).

(iii)Incurrence of Debt. If any Borrower Group Company issues or incurs any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day of the receipt by any Borrower Group Company of the net cash proceeds therefrom, offer to prepay the Loans with an amount equal to 100% of the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness, pursuant to a written notice sent to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders describing in reasonable detail the event giving rise to the obligation under this Section 2.05(b)(iii) to make such offer (each such offer to prepay referred to in this this Section 2.05(b)(iii), a “Debt Prepayment Offer”). The Borrower shall cause all proceeds to any Borrower Group Party from an issuance of incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) to be deposited in the Mandatory Prepayment Account in accordance with Section 5.18(h) and such proceeds shall be retained in the Mandatory Prepayment Account in accordance with Section 5.18(h) until such amounts are applied to make a prepayment of Loans in connection with a Debt Prepayment Offer pursuant to this clause (iii).

(iv)Excess Cash Flow Sweep. On each Quarterly Payment Date, Borrower shall offer to prepay the Loans of each Lender pursuant to a written notice sent to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of the aggregate amount deposited in the ECF Offer Account on such Quarterly Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.08(e) (each such offer to prepay referred to in this this Section 2.05(b)(iv), an “ECF Prepayment Offer”).

(v)Second Funding Termination Prepayment. In the event that the Borrower shall deliver a Second Funding Termination Notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c), the Borrower shall repay the full outstanding amount of the Loans on or prior to May 15, 2020 following the Second Funding Commitment Termination Date, together with accrued interest thereon and all reimbursements, fees and other Obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder or under the Financing Documents (including the Prepayment Premium).

Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), Borrower shall be permitted to request a waiver of the requirement to deliver an Event of Loss Prepayment Offer, a Disposition Proceeds Prepayment Offer, a Debt Prepayment Offer, or an ECF Prepayment Offer, which waiver may be accepted or rejected by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c)Terms of All Prepayments.

(i)All partial prepayments of the Loans shall be applied, on a pro rata basis to the Loans of each Lender.

(ii)Each prepayment of Loans shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, the Prepayment Premium, if any, and any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.09; provided that no Prepayment Premium shall be due in respect of any prepayment under Section 2.05(b)(iv).

(iii)No later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving an Event of Loss Prepayment Offer, a Disposition Proceeds Prepayment Offer, a Debt Prepayment Offer or an ECF Prepayment Offer, each Lender shall advise the Borrower in writing whether it has elected to accept such prepayment offer, which it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Each of the Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accept or reject such prepayment offer by the Borrower. In connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) and/or 2.05(b)(ii), the amount of the Loans prepaid shall be calculated so that the total amount of Loans prepaid, the accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and any Prepayment Premium applicable to such prepayment of Loans shall be no more than the Net Available Amount.

(iv)It is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Prepayment Premium that would have applied if, at the time of such acceleration, Borrower had

prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced any or all of the Loans as contemplated in Section 2.05(a) (any such event, a “Prepayment Premium Event”), will also be due and payable without any further action (including, without limitation, any notice requirements otherwise applicable to Prepayment Premium Events, if any) as though a Prepayment Premium Event had occurred and such Prepayment Premium shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Prepayment Premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Premium shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each Loan Party expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that each may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each Loan Party expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Loan.

Section 2.06Reimbursements.

(a)Agent Reimbursements. The Borrower agrees to pay to each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, for its own account, amounts payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Agent Reimbursement Letter.

(b)Payment of Reimbursements. All reimbursements payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders entitled thereto. Reimbursements paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error.

Section 2.07Interest.

(a)Loans. With respect to any Loan, on and after the Funding Date of such Loan, the outstanding principal amount of such Loan (including any Accrued Interest previously added to the principal on a prior Quarterly Payment Date) shall bear interest at an aggregate rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Cash Interest Rate plus (ii) the PIK Interest Rate.

(b)Default Interest. If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan, interest in respect thereof or any other amount due under the Financing Documents shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or there shall occur and be continuing any other Event of Default, then, to the extent so elected by the Required Lenders and after the Borrower has been notified in writing by the Administrative Agent, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans (whether or not overdue) (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, from the date of such nonpayment or occurrence of such Event of Default, respectively, until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment) or until such Event of Default is no longer continuing, respectively.

(c)Payment of Interest. Subject to Section 2.07(e), accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears in cash on each Quarterly Payment Date and shall be paid in accordance with Sections 2.08(b) and 2.08(d); provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable in cash on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

(d)Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and, in each case, shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last). The computation of interest shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Payment in Kind. On each Quarterly Payment Date, (i) the Borrower shall pay all of the accrued Cash Interest Amount in respect of the Loans in full in cash, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay all of the accrued PIK Interest Amount in respect of the Loans in full in cash; provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), in the event that on any Quarterly Payment Date the amount available in the Borrower Waterfall Account for distribution pursuant to Section 2.08(d) shall not be sufficient to pay in full in cash the total aggregate PIK Interest Amount on the Loans on such Quarterly Payment Date, the Borrower shall, without penalty, pay a portion of the accrued PIK Interest Amount due and payable on each Loan in kind solely to the extent that there are insufficient funds in the Borrower Waterfall Account available for the payment in full of such accrued PIK Interest Amount in cash (with any portion thereof not paid in kind to be paid in cash). The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be automatically increased on each such Quarterly Payment Date by the amount of such interest paid in kind (and such increased principal shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Cash Interest Rate plus (ii) the PIK Interest Rate).

(f)Miscellaneous. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) on each Quarterly Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date, any interest on the Loans then due and payable shall be paid, either in cash or in kind, in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) on the Maturity Date, any interest on the Loans then due and payable shall be paid entirely in cash in accordance with this Agreement. All amounts of interest added to the principal of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(e) shall bear interest as provided herein, be payable as provided in Section 2.04 and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. The Agent’s determination of the principal amount of the Loans outstanding at any time shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.

Section 2.08Quarterly Payment Dates. On each Quarterly Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Depositary Bank to release and distribute 100% of the funds then held in the Borrower Waterfall Account in accordance with the following order of priority:

(a)First, to deposit in the Module Replacement Reserve Account an amount equal to the Module Replacement Reserve Payment Amount in respect of such Quarterly Payment Date;

(b)Second, on a pari passu basis, to pay (i) a portion of the accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan in an amount equal to the Mandatory Cash Interest Amount in respect of each such Loan as of such Quarterly Payment Date, and (ii) all amounts payable to the Administrative Agent on such Quarterly Payment Date pursuant to the Agent Reimbursement Letter;

(c)Third, to deposit in the Debt Reserve Account an amount equal to the Required Debt Reserve Payment Amount in respect of such Quarterly Payment Date;

(d)Fourth, to pay all remaining accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan in an amount equal to the total accrued PIK Interest Amount in respect of each such Loan as of such Quarterly Payment Date;

(e)Fifth, to deposit in the ECF Offer Account an amount, which shall not be less than zero, equal to (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans as of such Quarterly Payment Date, minus (ii) the Target Debt Balance for such Quarterly Payment Date;

(f)Sixth, to deposit in the Preferred Reserve Account an amount equal to the Required Preferred Reserve Payment Amount in respect of such Quarterly Payment Date; and

(g)Seventh, to deposit all remaining amounts in such Business Unit Accounts as directed by the Borrower.

In the event that, on any Quarterly Payment Date, the amount of funds in the Borrower Waterfall Account are, in the aggregate, insufficient to pay in full the maximum amounts payable on such Quarterly Payment Date under clause (b), (d) or (e) above (the aggregate shortfall amount under clauses (b), (d) or (e) above on any such Quarterly Payment Date is herein referred to as the “Shortfall Amount”) in respect of such Quarterly Payment Date, then, on such Quarterly Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Depositary Bank to release funds from the Preferred Reserve Account in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the Shortfall Amount and (B) the aggregate amount then held in the Preferred Reserve Account and shall apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with the following order of priority:

(i)First, on a pari passu basis, to pay (i) a portion of the accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan in an amount equal to the Mandatory Cash Interest Amount in respect of each such Loan as of such Quarterly Payment Date to the extent remaining unpaid, and (ii) all amounts payable to the Administrative Agent on such Quarterly Payment Date pursuant to the Agent Reimbursement Letter to the extent remaining unpaid;

(ii)Second, to pay all remaining accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan in an amount equal to the total accrued PIK Interest Amount in respect of each such Loan as of such Quarterly Payment Date; and

(iii)Third, to deposit in the ECF Offer Account an amount, which shall not be less than zero, equal to (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans as of such Quarterly Payment Date, minus (ii) the Target Debt Balance for such Quarterly Payment Date.

In the event that, on any Quarterly Payment Date, after giving effect to the preceding paragraph, a portion of the Shortfall Amount shall remain unpaid, then, on such Quarterly Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Depositary Bank to release funds from the Debt Reserve Account in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the remaining portion of the Shortfall Amount and (B) the aggregate amount then held in the Debt Reserve Account and shall apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with the following order of priority:

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for any Taxes; provided that if any Loan Party or Agent shall be required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to withhold or deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) to the extent such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required withholdings and deductions (including withholdings and deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party or Agent shall make or shall cause to be made such withholdings and deductions and (iii) such Loan Party or Agent shall pay or shall cause to be paid the full amount withheld and deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay or cause to be paid any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c)Indemnification by Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify, or cause to be indemnified, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or payable by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Collateral Agent or a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the relevant Loan Party shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)Forms.

(i) Any of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (including any assignee Lender) that is legally entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Loan Party is located with respect to payments under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding tax or information reporting requirements. Upon the reasonable written request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or if any form or certification previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate, any Lender shall update any such form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.09(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.09(e)(ii)(A), (B) and Section 2.09(g)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a US Person,

(A)any Lender that is a US Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)any Lender who is not a US Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)in the case of a Lender who is not a US Person claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W‑8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III)in the case of a Lender who is not a US Person claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN‑E; or

(IV)to the extent a Lender who is not a US Person is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax compliance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax compliance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(f)If the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.09, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower, net of all of its out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes with respect to such refund) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, in the event the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g)If a payment made to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Section 2.10Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a)Payments by Borrower. Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, reimbursements, fees, or under Section 2.09 or otherwise) or under any other Financing Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of

calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Orion Energy Partners Investment Agent, LLC (payment instructions: Bank Name: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank Address: 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, ABA/Routing No.: 000000000, Account Name: ORION ENERGY PARTNERS INVESTMENT AGENT, LLC, Account No.: 700846822, Swift No.: XXXXXX00, Reference: “FuelCell” + [purpose of the payment]) except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Financing Document and payments pursuant to Sections 2.09 and 10.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be set to the immediately preceding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period up to and including such immediately preceding Business Day, with the day(s) following such immediately preceding Business Day to be included in the calculation of interest for the following quarterly period in accordance with the terms hereof. All amounts owing under this Agreement or under any other Financing Document are payable in Dollars.

(b)Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, reimbursements, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest, reimbursements, fees and other amounts (except for the amounts required to be paid pursuant to the following clause (ii)) then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, reimbursements, fees and such other amounts then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c)Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) the Loans shall be made from the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.03 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective applicable Commitments; (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them being paid or prepaid; and (iii) each payment of interest on the Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

(d)Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment or recover any amount in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loan resulting in such Lender receiving a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of the Loans and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Lenders, the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such

participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

(e)Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f)Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.10(e) or 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.11Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. If the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.09 then such Lender shall (i) file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower and/or (ii) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender exercised in good faith, such designation or assignment (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09 in the future and (y) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 2.12Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Financing Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Financing Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(c)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(d)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Financing Document; or

(e)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 2.13Incremental Facilities. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time during the Incremental Availability Period, request the establishment of one or more incremental term loan facilities, for the purposes of funding a Permitted Subsequent Funding Use, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Facility Amount to be documented as an increase in the total amount of the Loans under this Agreement; provided that (i) there shall not be more than three incremental term loan facilities per calendar year and (ii) each incremental term loan facility shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, in each case, unless otherwise agreed to by the Lenders. Each Lender shall participate in such incremental term loan facilities if each of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(a)to the extent that the proceeds of such incremental term loan facility are to be used to finance an Additional Covered Project, (w) such Additional Covered Project shall have been approved by the Lenders in their sole discretion, (x) the applicable Restricted Project Company and the Administrative Agent shall have agreed in writing that such Restricted Project Company shall be an Additional Covered Project Company hereunder, (y) the Borrower or the applicable Additional Project Company shall have entered into Project Documents in respect of such Additional Covered Project in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and (z) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have agreed in writing as to the Project Payoff Amount with respect to such Additional Covered Project;

(b)no Default or Event of Default exists as of the effective date of such incremental term loan facilities or would exist after giving effect thereto;

(c)no development, event or circumstance that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred and be continuing, or shall occur as a result thereof as of the effective date of such incremental term loan facilities;

(d)the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Financing Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the effective date of such incremental term loan facilities (except where already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case, in all respects);

(e)the Lenders shall have received Investment Committee approval for such incremental term loan facilities;

(f)the other applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.04 shall have been satisfied as of the effective date of such incremental term loan facilities; and

(g)the terms of any such incremental facility shall be identical to those of the existing Loans, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be required to fund any incremental term loan facility under this Section 2.13 unless each of the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied and the Lenders shall have otherwise approved such incremental term loan facility. In connection with any such incremental term loan facility, this Agreement and the other Financing Documents shall be amended as necessary to effectuate such increase, such amendments to be acceptable to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in their reasonable discretion.

To such Loan Party’s knowledge, no Person has been or is infringing, misappropriating, diluting, violating or otherwise impairing any Intellectual Property of any Borrower Group Company (except, in the case of any Excluded Project Company, where such infringement, misappropriation, dilution, violation or impairment could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).

(b)All Intellectual Property owned, used or licensed by any Borrower Group Company is valid, enforceable and subsisting and no event has occurred, and nothing has been done or omitted to have been done, that would affect the validity or enforceability of such Intellectual Property (except, in the case of any Excluded Project Company, where such lack of validity, enforceability or subsistence could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). All Intellectual Property owned, used or licensed by any Borrower Group Company is in full force and effect and have not lapsed, or been forfeited or cancelled or abandoned and there are no unpaid maintenance, renewal or other fees payable or owing by any such Borrower Group Company for any such Intellectual Property (except, in the case of any Excluded Project Company, where lack of effect, lapse, forfeiture, cancelation, abandonment or unpaid fee could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). Each Borrower Group Company has taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of its Intellectual Property, except where failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10(c), no Borrower Group Company has licensed to, or granted any rights in, any Intellectual Property owned by any Borrower Group Company to any other Person, other than nonexclusive licenses granted to customers in the ordinary course of business which do not materially interfere with the Business of the Borrower Group Companies or materially affect the value of such Intellectual Property (except, in the case of any Excluded Project Company, for such licenses or grants that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).

(d)Each Borrower Group Company has obtained the necessary intellectual property licenses that the Loan Parties reasonably believe are required for the Business, the Covered Projects and the Excluded Projects, the absence of any of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.11Taxes. Except as specified on Schedule 3.11, each Borrower Group Company has timely filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns and reports required to have been filed by it and has paid, or has caused to be paid, all material taxes required to have been paid by it, other than taxes that are being contested in accordance with the Permitted Contest Conditions.

Section 7.02Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral (including any amount in the Collateral Accounts) shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a)first, to any fees, costs, charges, expenses and indemnities then due and payable to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under any Financing Document pro rata based on such respective amounts then due to such Persons;

(b)second, to the respective outstanding fees, costs, charges, expenses and indemnities then due and payable to the other Secured Parties under any Financing Document pro rata based on such respective amounts then due to such Persons;

(c)third, to any accrued but unpaid interest on the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties pro rata based on such respective amounts then due to the Secured Parties;

(d)fourth, to any principal amount of the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties pro rata based on such respective amounts then due to the Secured Parties;

(f)sixth, after final payment in full of the amounts described in clauses first through fifth above and the Discharge Date (as defined in the Security Agreement) shall have occurred, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

It is understood that the Loan Parties shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate of the sums referred to in clauses first through fifth above.

(a)Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each Agent to act on its behalf as its agent hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and authorizes each Agent in such capacity, to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to it by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent, by executing this Agreement, hereby accepts such appointment.

(b)Each Agent is hereby authorized to execute, deliver and perform each of the Transaction Documents to which such Agent is intended to be a party. Each Agent hereby agrees, and each Lender hereby authorizes such Agent, to enter into the amendments and other modifications of the Security Documents (subject to Section 10.02(b)).

Section 8.02Rights as a Lender. Each Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Section 8.03Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent (a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Financing Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders, and (c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable decision. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

107

Section 8.04Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.05Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent.

Section 8.06Withholding of Taxes by the Administrative Agent; Indemnification. To the extent required by any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Taxes. If any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Taxes from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Taxes ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding tax from such payment, such Lender shall promptly indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Person (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Person’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Person, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Financing Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Financing Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.06.

108

Section 8.07Resignation of Agent. Each Agent may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower, and any Agent may be removed at any time by the Required Lenders (with a prior written notice to the Borrower). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by the Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation or after the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender with an office in New York, New York, an Affiliate of a Lender or a financial institution with an office in New York, New York having a combined capital and surplus that is not less than $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The reimbursements and fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

Section 8.08Non-Reliance on Agent or Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Affiliates of any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Affiliates of any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.09No Other Duties; Etc. The parties agree that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any obligations, liability or responsibility under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and that none of the Agents shall have any obligations, liabilities or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights (including indemnification rights), powers, benefits, privileges, exculpations, protections and immunities granted to the Collateral Agent under the other Financing Documents, all of which are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.

(g)the failure of any Material Counterparty to make payments owed to any Loan Party, or

(h)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Loan Party, any Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 9.02, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Loan Party under the Financing Documents.

Section 9.03Discharge Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances; Release of Guarantor.

(a)The Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Borrower’s obligations under the Financing Documents shall have been paid or otherwise performed in full and all of the Commitments shall have terminated.

(b)Each Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and each holder of any Guaranteed Obligations may demand payment of, enforce and recover from any Guarantor or any other Person obligated for any or all of such Guaranteed Obligations in any order and in any manner whatsoever, without any requirement that the Administrative Agent or such holder seek to recover from any particular Guarantor or other Person first or from any Guarantors or other Persons pro rata or on any other basis.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Loan Parties and the Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) amend or supplement any Security Document without the consent of any Lender to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency which is not material, or to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Lenders and (y) any Loan Party may amend, modify or supplement any annexes or schedules to the Security Documents as expressly provided therein (without the consent of any Agent, Lender or other secured party).

Section 10.03Expenses; Indemnity; Etc.

(a)Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse each of the Agents and the Lenders for: (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders (including the reasonable fees and expenses of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP, New York counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and experts engaged by the Agents or the Lenders from time to time) in connection with (A) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and the extension of credit under this Agreement (whether or not the transaction contemplated hereby and thereby shall be consummated) (provided, that, the Borrower shall not be required to pay or

114

reimburse the Agents and the Lenders under this clause (i)(A) for costs and expenses in an amount in excess of the expense budget previously agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) or (B) any amendment, modification or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Documents, (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lenders (including payment of the fees and reimbursements provided for herein) and the Agents (including reasonable and documented outside counsels’ fees and expenses and reasonable and documented outside experts’ fees and expenses) in connection with (A) any Default or Event of Default and any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting from such Default or Event of Default or in connection with the negotiation of any restructuring or “work-out” (whether or not consummated) of the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement or the obligations of any Material Counterparty under any other Financing Document or Material Agreement and (B) the enforcement of this Section 10.03 or the preservation of their respective rights, (iii) all costs, expenses, Taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein, and (iv) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the experts and consultants engaged by the Agents or the Lenders) in connection with the Lenders’ due diligence review.

(b)Indemnification by the Borrower. Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Agents and the Lenders and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, administrative agents, attorneys-in-fact and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject related to or arising out of any transaction contemplated by the Financing Documents or the execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents or any other document in any way relating to the Financing Documents and the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents (including, for avoidance of doubt, any liabilities arising under or in connection with Environmental Law) and will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable and documented outside counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection therewith. No Loan Party shall be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to an Indemnified Party to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Loan Party also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to it, or any of its security holders or creditors related to or arising out of the execution, delivery and performance of any Financing Document or any other document in any way relating to the Financing Documents or the other transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents, except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Loan Party shall assert and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. Paragraph (b) of this Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non‑Tax claim.

115

(c)Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to any Agent, their affiliates or agents under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lender to such Agent, affiliate or agent such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent, affiliate or agent in its capacity as such.

(d)Settlements; Appearances in Actions. The Borrower agrees that, without each Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party under this Section (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding. In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its legal counsel. In the case of any claim brought against an Indemnified Party for which the Borrower may be responsible under this Section 10.03, the Agents and Lenders agree (at the expense of the Borrower) to execute such instruments and documents and cooperate as reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with the Borrower’s defense, settlement or compromise of such claim, action or proceeding.

Section 10.04Successors and Assigns.

(a)Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Loan Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnified Parties referred to in Section 10.03(b) and the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loan at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $500,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent;

(ii)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must each give its prior written consent to such assignment; provided that (x) in the case of the Administrative Agent, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (y) in the case of the Borrower, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if such assignment is to an Approved Fund and such consent shall be given in the Borrower’s sole discretion if the assignment is to any other Person (other than a Lender, an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or an Approved Fund) (and provided further that, in the case of the Borrower, such consent shall be deemed to be given if the Borrower has not responded within five (5) Business Days of any request for consent);

(iii)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(iv)except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate, the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(v)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this clause (b) shall not be required if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and shall be deemed given if the Borrower has not responded to a request for such consent within five (5) Business Days of the request. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.

117

(c)Maintenance of Register by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and the amount of any Accrued Interest owing from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Effectiveness of Assignments. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e)Limitations on Rights of Assignees. An assignee Lender shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.09 or 2.10 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest assigned to such assignee (based on the circumstances existing at the time of the assignment), unless the Borrower’s prior written consent has been obtained therefor.

(f)Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document; provided that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09 and 2.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of

118

each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Financing Documents held by it (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loan or its other obligations under any Financing Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such participation complies with Section 10.15 and that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103‑1(c) of the Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g)Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.09 or 2.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.09 unless the Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.09(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.09(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(h)Certain Pledges.

(i)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central Bank or any other central bank or similar monetary authority in the jurisdiction of such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto; and provided further that any payment in respect of such pledge or assignment made by any Loan Party to or for the account of the pledging or assigning Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy such Loan Party’s obligations hereunder in respect of such pledged or assigned Loan to the extent of such payment.

(ii)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may, without informing, consulting with or obtaining the consent of any other Party to the Financing Documents and without formality under any Financing Documents, assign by way of security, mortgage, charge or otherwise create security by any means over, its rights under any Financing Document to secure the obligations of that Lender to any Person that would be a permitted assignee (without the consent of the Borrower or any Agent) pursuant to Section 10.04(b) including (A) to the benefit of any of its Affiliates and/or (B) within the framework of its, or its Affiliates, direct or indirect funding operations.

119

(i)No Assignments to the Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of the Borrower without the prior written consent of each other Lender.

Section 10.05Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loan, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any reimbursement, fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement (other than any contingent indemnification or reimbursement amount not then due and payable) is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Sections 2.09, 2.10, 10.03, 10.13, 10.14 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.06Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Financing Documents to which a Loan Party is party constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.07Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.08Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and any of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and any other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under

120

this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured or denominated in a currency other than Dollars. The rights of each Lender or any such Affiliate under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 10.09Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

Nothing in this Section 10.09 shall limit the right of the Secured Parties to refer any claim against a Loan Party to any court of competent jurisdiction anywhere else outside of the State of New York, nor shall the taking of proceedings by any Secured Party before the courts in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction whether concurrently or not.

(e)WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY FINANCING DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY FINANCING DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

To the extent that any Loan Party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution, sovereign immunity or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in respect of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

Section 10.10Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 10.11Confidentiality.

(a)Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, board members (and members of committees thereof), current or prospective limited partners, agents, consultants, Persons providing administration and settlement services and other professional advisors, including accountants, auditors, legal counsel and other advisors with a need to know (for purposes of this Section 10.11, the “Representatives”) (it being understood that the Representatives will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, and that the applicable Agent or Lender responsible for such disclosure shall be responsible for any non-compliance with the foregoing by any such Representatives that do not have a separate confidentiality obligation to such Agent or Lender), (ii) to the extent requested by any applicable regulatory or supervisory body or authority, by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena, oral question posed at any deposition, interrogatory or similar legal process (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent requested in connection with any pledge or assignment pursuant to Section 10.04(h)); provided that the party from whom disclosure is being required shall give notice thereof to the Borrower as soon as practicable (unless restricted from doing so and except where disclosure is to be made to a regulatory or supervisory body or authority during the ordinary course of its supervisory or regulatory function), (iii) to any other party to this Agreement, (iv) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this paragraph, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (v) with the written consent of the Borrower, (vi) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this paragraph or (B) becomes available to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and such source is not, to the knowledge of such Agent or Lender, subject to subject to a confidentiality agreement with any Loan Party or (vii) to any Person with whom any Loan Party, an Agent or a Lender has entered into (or potentially may enter into), whether directly or indirectly, any transaction under which payments are to be made or may be made by reference to one or more Financing Documents and/or the Loan Parties or to any of such Person’s Affiliates and Representatives. For the purposes of this paragraph, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party, or its respective business, other than any such information that is available to the Agents or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by a Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

122

(b)Upon written request, but no later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, by any Loan Party, each Agent and Lender agrees to promptly return or destroy all copies of confidential Information and all notes, correspondence, documents or other records based thereon or which contain confidential Information (“Derivate Documents”) which are then in the such Agent’s or Lender’s possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agents and Lenders and their Representatives shall be entitled to (i) retain copies of all Information provided to such Agent or Lender for legal, regulatory, and compliance purposes, in a manner consistent with the such Agent’s or Lender’s document archiving procedures, and which information shall remain confidential for the term of this Agreement so long as such Information is retained in a manner consistent with such Agent’s or Lender’s internal confidentiality policies, or (ii) to the extent that such Agent or Lender and its Representatives have copies of computer records and files containing Information, which have been created as a result of automatic archiving or backup procedures, may retain such number of copies of the Information for legal, regulatory, and compliance purposes, in a manner consistent with such Agent’s or Lender’s and its Representatives’ document archiving procedure, and which information shall remain confidential so long as such Information is retained in a manner consistent with such Agent’s or Lender’s and its Representatives’ internal confidentiality policies. Each Loan Party remains the owner of all its Information contained in all Derivate Documents. In addition, the Agents and Lenders shall not be obligated to return or destroy any Information contained in any documents or packages prepared for its board of directors or like body, but may retain such documents or packages in a manner consistent with such Agent’s or Lender’s internal confidentiality policies.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Administrative Agent, the Orion Energy Warrant Holders, their respective affiliates and advisors and investors in funds managed by the foregoing Persons (collectively, the “Orion Energy Persons”) are subject to compliance obligations mandated by various regulators, governmental agencies and taxation authorities; and in satisfaction of those compliance obligations, the Orion Energy Persons may disclose confidential Information in response to a broad information request not specifically targeted at Borrower, as required by such regulators, governmental agencies, and taxation authorities without notice to the Borrower and without obtaining assurances that information will be treated confidentially; and such disclosure shall not be a violation of this agreement; provided that if such regulators, governmental agencies and taxation authorities make information requests specifically targeted at or regarding the Borrower or any of its affiliates, the Orion Energy Persons will promptly notify the Borrower of such information request.

Section 10.12Non-Recourse. Anything herein or in any other Financing Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and each other Financing Document to which each Loan Party is a party, and any certificate, notice, instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, are obligations solely of such Loan Party and do not constitute a debt, liability or obligation of (and no recourse shall be made with respect to) any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Loan Parties), or any shareholder, partner, member, officer, director or employee of such Affiliates (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”). No action under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document to which each Loan Party is a party shall be brought against any Non-Recourse Party, and no judgment for any deficiency upon the obligations hereunder or thereunder shall be obtainable by any Secured Party against any Non-Recourse Party, except that

123

the foregoing shall not limit the obligations or liabilities of any Guarantor under the Financing Documents. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained in this Section shall in any manner or way (i) restrict the remedies available to any Agent or Lender to realize upon the Collateral or under any Financing Document, or constitute or be deemed to be a release of the obligations secured by (or impair the enforceability of) the Liens and security interests and possessory rights created by or arising from any Financing Document or (ii) release, or be deemed to release, any Non-Recourse Party from liability for its own willful misrepresentation, fraudulent actions, gross negligence or willful misconduct or from any of its obligations or liabilities under any Financing Document to which such Non-Recourse Party is a party.

Section 10.13No Third Party Beneficiaries. The agreement of the Lenders to make the Loans to the Borrower on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, is solely for the benefit of the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders, and no other Person (including any Material Counterparty, contractor, subcontractor, supplier, workman, carrier, warehouseman or materialman furnishing labor, supplies, goods or services to or for the benefit of the Business) shall have any rights under this Agreement or under any other Financing Document or Material Agreement as against the Agent or any Lender or with respect to any extension of credit contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.14Reinstatement. The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in Bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Borrower agrees that it will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by such Secured Party in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 10.15USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

Form of Assignment and Assumption

This Assignment and Assumption (the “Assignment and Assumption”) is dated as of the Effective Date set forth in item 9 below and is entered into by and between [the][each]¹ Assignor identified in item 1 below ([the][each, an] “Assignor”) and [the][each]² Assignee identified in item 2 below ([the][each, an] “Assignee”).
