and agrees that no Party shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any Loss to the extent that such Loss relates to action taken by such Party or any other Person after the Closing Date. Each of the Parties shall take and
shall cause its Affiliates to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon 

  
 22 









 
becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach which gives rise

obligations of Imperial Valley Solar 1, LLC under the Mt. Signal Indemnity Agreement arising after the Closing, and (ii) YieldCo and YieldCo LLC shall jointly and severally indemnify SRP and its Affiliates for any Losses incurred by SRP in

Losses incurred by them in connection with YieldCo and YieldCo LLC’s obligations under the A&R Mt. Signal Indemnity Agreement based on events, conditions or circumstances arising prior to the Closing. 

8.3 Indemnification Procedures. 
 (a) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 8.2, the
Indemnitee shall assert its claim for indemnification (an “Indemnification Claim”) by giving written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to the applicable Indemnitor (i) if the Indemnification Claim is, or
relates to, a claim brought by a Person not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party (a “Third Party”), within 10 Business Days following receipt by Indemnitee of notice of such claim, or (ii) if the Indemnification Claim is not, or
does not relate to, a claim brought by a Third Party, within 30 days after the discovery by the Indemnitee of the facts, events or circumstances giving rise to such Indemnification Claim; provided, that no delay on the part of an Indemnitee
in giving a Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnitor of any indemnification obligation hereunder unless the Indemnitor demonstrates that the defense of such Indemnification Claim is materially and adversely prejudiced by such delay. Each Claim
Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim. 
 (b)
Upon receipt by an Indemnitor of a Claim Notice in respect of a claim of a Third Party, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to (i) assume and have sole control over the defense of such claim at its sole cost and expense and with its own counsel if
it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Claim Notice from the Indemnitee; and (ii) negotiate a settlement or compromise of such claim; provided, that (x) such
settlement or compromise shall include a full and unconditional waiver and release by the Third Party of all Indemnitees (without any cost or liability of any nature whatsoever to such Indemnitees) and (y) any such settlement or compromise
shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control
of the defense and settlement of a claim of a Third Party and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee if such claim of the Third Party relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment,
allegation or claim or a primary objective of such claim is to seek equitable or injunctive relief against the Indemnitee. If, within 30 days of receipt from an Indemnitee of any Claim Notice with respect to a Third


  
 23 









 
Party claim, the Indemnitor (i) advises such Indemnitee in writing that the Indemnitor shall not elect to defend, settle or compromise such claim or (ii) fails to make such an election
in writing, such Indemnitee may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such claim; provided, that any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnitor, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Unless and until the Indemnitor makes an election in accordance with this Section 8.3 to defend, settle or compromise such claim, all of the Indemnitee’s reasonable
costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such claim shall be considered Losses subject to indemnification hereunder and shall be borne by the Indemnitor and payable monthly or as legal bills are received by the
Indemnitee and tendered to the Indemnitor. Each Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnitor all information reasonably available to such Indemnitee relating to such claim, except as may be prohibited by applicable Law. In addition, the Parties
shall render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim. The Party in charge of the defense shall keep the other
Parties fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnitor elects to defend any such claim, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in such defense with
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor, at such Indemnitee’s sole cost and expense; provided, that such Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the reasonable expense of the
Indemnitor if (i) so requested by the Indemnitor, or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, a conflict or potential conflict of interests exists between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor; and provided,
further, that the Indemnitor shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all Indemnitees in connection with any Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made
by the applicable Third Party, and the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee in writing of the Indemnitor’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of Sections 8.4 and 8.5, pay the amount
called for by such offer, and the Indemnitee declines to accept such offer, the Indemnitee may continue to contest such Indemnification Claim, free of any participation by the Indemnitor, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such
Indemnification Claim that the Indemnitor has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the Indemnitee declined to accept plus the Losses of the Indemnitee relating to such
Indemnification Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Losses of the Indemnitee with respect to such Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnitee makes any payment on any Indemnification Claim, the
Indemnitor shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnitee to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnitee with respect to such Indemnification Claim. 

(c) After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Entity and the expiration of the time in which
to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall forward to the
Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnitor pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter.

 8.4 Certain Limitations on Indemnification. 

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Party shall have any indemnification obligations under
Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i), (i) for any individual item where the Loss relating thereto is less than $500,000 (the “De Minimis”) and (ii) in respect of each individual item where the
Loss relating thereto is equal to or greater than the De Minimis, unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $1,500,000, in which case all Losses shall be indemnified from the first dollar. In no event shall the aggregate indemnification
to be paid by any Party pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i), as applicable, exceed $15,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 8.4(a) shall not apply to any
breaches of Fundamental Representations. 
 (b) In no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by any Party pursuant
to Article VIII exceed an amount in value equal to value of the Consideration as of the Closing. 
 (c) No representation
or warranty contained herein shall be deemed untrue or incorrect, and a Party shall not be deemed to have breached a representation or warranty, as a consequence of the existence of any fact, circumstance or event of which the other Party is aware
as of the Closing Date. 
 (d) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NO PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES
SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE VIII FOR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS
REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY RELATING TO THE BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR DIMINUTION OF VALUE OR ANY DAMAGES BASED ON ANY TYPE OF MULTIPLE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER LAW OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER OR NOT
ARISING FROM THE OTHER PARTY’S OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES’ SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ONE OF THE PARTIES HERETO IS HELD LIABLE FOR SUCH CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES TO A THIRD PARTY
AND SUCH PARTY IS ENTITLED TO BE INDEMNIFIED BY ANY OF THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE VIII (PROVIDED THAT SUCH LIMITATION WITH RESPECT TO LOST PROFITS SHALL NOT LIMIT SRP’S RIGHT TO RECOVER CONTRACT DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH YIELDCO LLC’S OR YIELDCO’S FAILURE TO CLOSE IN VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT). 
 (e) From and after the
Closing Date, the indemnities provided in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Party against any other Party or its Affiliates at Law or in equity relating to the Transaction Documents, any other document or
certificate delivered in connection herewith or therewith, or the assets and liabilities of SRP or any applicable Law or otherwise; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Party from seeking an injunction or injunctions to
prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other Parties and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof that expressly survive the Closing Date. 

  
 25 









 8.5 Calculation of Losses. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is
provided under this Article VIII shall be net of any amounts actually recovered or recoverable by the Indemnitee under insurance policies or otherwise with respect to such Losses (net of any expenses incurred in connection with such recovery).

 8.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this
Article VIII as an adjustment to the Consideration for U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax purposes, except to the extent required by applicable Law following a Final Determination. 

ARTICLE IX 

MISCELLANEOUS

 (a) The
Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Contribution Transaction and

in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. 

(b) Each of the Parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any Party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding

 9.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. The Transaction Documents (including
the Schedules hereto) represent the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision
hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this
Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any
Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no
delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any

 9.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the
Contribution Transaction is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify
this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Contribution Transaction is consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. Except as
otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, nothing contained in any representation or warranty, or the fact that any representation or warranty may or may not be more specific than any other representation or warranty, shall in any way
limit or restrict the scope, applicability or meaning of any other representation or warranty contained in this Agreement. 

9.7 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable
harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Each Party accordingly agrees that, in addition to any other remedies available under applicable Law or this Agreement, each Party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this
Agreement by decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy and to obtain injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. 

9.8 Binding Effect; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties
and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person or entity not a Party to this Agreement. 

9.9 Assignment. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any Party, directly or
indirectly (by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other Parties and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be null, void and of no effect; provided, that each Party may assign its
rights, interests and obligations hereunder to any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, and in the case of SRP to any member of SRP (or an Affiliate of such member) to whom SRP (or such member) distributes or otherwise transfers Consideration
other than in a transaction registered under the Securities Act; and provided, further, that no assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the Parties hereto of any such obligations. Upon any such permitted assignment, the
references in this Agreement to a given Party shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.
