 Section 2.7. Oceanica. As of the

copies of all such Permits and filings and all material written correspondence with any Governmental Agency regarding any Project Permit has been furnished to Lender. Except as disclosed in the Parent Reports, no Governmental Agency has

 Section 2.8. Parent Reports; Financial Statements; Undisclosed Liabilities.

(a) The filings, including all material forms, registration, proxy and information statements, prospectuses, reports,
agreements (oral or written) and all documents, exhibits, amendments and supplements appertaining thereto, filed or furnished by the Parent since January 1, 2015 under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (the “Parent
Reports”), have been timely filed or furnished (as applicable) with the SEC and complied, as of their respective filing dates, in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the statutes and the rules and regulations
thereunder, in each case as in effect on the dates so filed, including any amendments of such Parent Reports filed with the SEC. None of the Parent Reports contained, at the time such Parent Report was filed, or if amended or restated, at such
time when finally amended, restated or subsequently mailed to securityholders, any untrue statement of any material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All such Parent Reports complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be. 

(b) As of the date hereof, there are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the SEC staff with respect
to the Parent Reports, and to the Knowledge of the Parent, neither the Parent nor any Parent Report is the subject of an ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC investigation.

consolidated statements of cash flows (including, in each case, any related notes and schedules thereto) of the Parent included in or incorporated by reference into the Parent Reports: (i) complied, as of the respective filing dates thereof, in
all material respects with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect on the respective filing dates thereof, (ii) were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be footnoted therein, (iii) fairly presented, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Parent, as of the respective dates
thereof, and the consolidated results of operations, retained earnings (accumulated deficit) and cash flows, as the case may be, of the Parent for the respective periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to normal
year-end adjustments). Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has received, in writing, any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of the
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective internal accounting controls. To the Knowledge of the Parent, no attorney representing the Parent or its Subsidiaries has reported evidence of a material violation of securities laws, breach
of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents to the Board of Directors or any committee thereof pursuant to the rules of the SEC adopted under
Section 307 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 

  
 9 








 (d) The Parent has (A) implemented and maintains (x) disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that material information relating to the Parent and its Subsidiaries is made known on a timely basis to the management of the Parent and (y) a system
of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and (B) disclosed to the Parent’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors (x) all significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and
(y) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Parent’s internal control over financial reporting. 

(e) There are no Liabilities of the Parent or its Subsidiaries of a nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise)
other than: (i) Liabilities set forth in the consolidated balance sheet, including the notes thereto, of the Parent included in the most recent Parent Reports; (ii) Liabilities or obligations incurred in the ordinary course of
business consistent with past practices since the date of such balance sheet; (iii) Liabilities under Contracts, none of which arise out of any breach, default or non-performance by the Parent or its Subsidiaries; and (iv) Liabilities disclosed
on the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement.

ARTICLE III. 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE LENDER 

The Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Parent as of the date hereof that: 

Section 3.1. Organization, Existence and Good Standing. Lender is duly organized and is validly existing and in good
standing under the Laws pursuant to which it was formed, and has all requisite corporate power and corporate authority to carry on its businesses as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Lender is duly licensed or qualified
to transact business as a foreign corporation or other equivalent entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business transacted by it or the character of the properties owned or leased by it requires such
licensing or qualification, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have an Lender Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 3.2. Authorization. Lender has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Any and all corporate or partnership action on the part of Lender necessary for the
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of Lender hereunder at each Closing has been, or will by each Closing have been, taken. This Agreement


  
 12 








 
has been duly and validly executed and delivered and constitutes, and the Transaction Documents to which Lender is a party when executed and delivered will constitute, assuming due execution and
delivery by the other parties thereto of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, valid and legally binding obligations of Lender, enforceable against Lender in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

 Section 3.3. Receipt of Information. Lender believes it has received all the information the Lender considers
necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Note. Lender further represents that Lender has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Parent regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Note
and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Parent and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Parent possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify
the accuracy of any information furnished to Lender or to which Lender had access. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Parent and the Company in ARTICLE II of this Agreement or the
right of Lender to rely thereon. 
 Section 3.4. Investment Experience. Lender confirms that it has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Note and of making an informed investment decision and understands that: this investment is suitable only for an investor
which is able to bear the economic consequences of losing its entire investment; the purchase of the Note by the Lender hereunder is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk of loss of the entire investment; there are
substantial restrictions on the transferability of, and there will be no public market for, the Note, and accordingly, it may not be possible for the Lender to liquidate its investment in case of emergency; and this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents create a complex set of rights and obligations of the Lender. 
 Section 3.5. Qualifications of
Lender. Lender is an “Accredited Lender” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act (without reliance on Rule 501(a)(4) thereof). The Lender will provide reasonable information requested by the Parent in
connection with any filing required to be made with applicable securities regulators in connection with any issuance of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note. Lender is not a “Bad Actor” within the meaning of Rule 506 of
the Securities Act. 
 Section 3.6. Restricted Securities. Lender understands that no securities of the Parent may be sold,
transferred, or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of either an effective registration statement covering the Note or the Common Stock into which it may have been
converted, as applicable, compliance with such distribution requirements or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Note or the Common Stock into which it may have been converted, as applicable, must be held
indefinitely. Lender understands that the Note and the Common Stock into which it may have been converted will carry legends required by Law. In particular, the Lender is aware that the Note may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that rule are met.

the District of Delaware, to the extent that such court has subject matter jurisdiction or (z) if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the courts of the State of Delaware (the “Designated Court”). Each of the parties

Section 4.14. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of
the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to
specific performance of the terms hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties acknowledge that the awarding of equitable remedies is within the discretion of the applicable court.

 Section 4.15. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and not alternative.

may be reproduced by each party by electronic digital storage, computer tapes, photographic, photostatic, optical character recognition, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic or other similar process, and each party may destroy any original
document so reproduced. All parties hereto agree and stipulate that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as would the original itself in any judicial, arbitration or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in
existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by each party in the regular course of business) and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. 

Section 4.18. Severability.

(a) If any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the remaining provisions of this 

  
 19 








 
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall remain in full force, if the essential terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents for each party remain valid,
binding and enforceable. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable. 
 (b) Any provision of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document 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 or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 4.19. Adjustments for Share Splits, etc. Wherever in this Agreement there is a reference to a specific number of shares of
the Parent of any Class or series, or a price per share, or consideration received in respect of such shares, then, upon the occurrence of any subdivision or consolidation of the shares of such Class or series, the specific number of
shares or the price so referenced in this Agreement shall automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect on the outstanding shares of such Class or series of shares by such subdivision or consolidation.

Section 4.20. Release. In consideration of, among other things, Lender’s execution and delivery of this Agreement,
each of the Parent, the Company, any party claiming on behalf of the Parent or the Company, the Parent or the Company’s equityholders and residual claimants and the respective successors and assigns of each (collectively, the

(including, without limitation, cross-claims, counterclaims, rights of set-off and recoupment), actions, causes of action, suits, debts, accounts, interests, Liens, promises, warranties, damages and consequential and punitive damages, demands,
agreements, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, controversies, torts, variances, trespasses, judgments, executions, costs, expenses or claims whatsoever (collectively, the “Claims”), that such Releasor now has (as of the date of
this amendment and restatement) or hereafter may have, of whatsoever nature and kind, whether known or unknown, whether arising at law or in equity, against Lender in any capacity and its shareholders and “controlling persons” (within the
meaning of the federal securities laws), and their respective successors and assigns and each and all of the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, advisors, auditors, consultants, Affiliates and other representatives of each of the
foregoing (collectively, the “Releasees”), based in whole or in part on facts whether or not now known, existing on or before the date hereof, that relate to, arise out of or otherwise are in connection with this Agreement or any of
the Transaction Documents or any transactions contemplated thereby or any acts or omissions in connection therewith or the negotiation thereof, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not release Lender from its express obligations under this
Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents. The provisions of this Section 4.20 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and any of the Transaction Documents.
