      Adjustment Statement, shall determine only those items remaining in dispute between Buyer and Sellers, and shall only be permitted or authorized to determine an amount with respect to any such disputed item that is either the amount of such disputed
      item as proposed by Buyer in the Proposed Adjustment Statement or the amount of such disputed item as proposed by Sellers in the Estimated Adjustment Statement.  Each of Buyer and Sellers shall: (i) enter into a customary engagement letter with the
      Neutral Auditor at the time such dispute is submitted to the Neutral Auditor and otherwise cooperate with the Neutral Auditor; (ii) have the opportunity to submit a written statement in support of their respective positions with respect to such
      disputed items, to provide supporting material to the Neutral Auditor in defense of their respective positions with respect to such disputed items (which supporting material shall be provided simultaneously to the other Party) and to submit a written
      statement responding to the other Party’s position with respect to such disputed items.  The Neutral Auditor shall be instructed to deliver to Buyer and Sellers a written determination (such determination to include a worksheet setting forth all
      material calculations used in arriving at such determination and to be based solely on information provided to the Neutral Auditor by Buyer and Sellers) of the disputed items within thirty (30) days of receipt of the disputed items, which
      determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and not subject to appeal.  The expenses of the Neutral Auditor shall be paid by each Party in proportion to such Party’s Adjustment Variance.  The deemed acceptance by Buyer of the
      Proposed Adjustment Statement pursuant to clause (d) or the resolution of the any Initial Reconciliation Disputes or Final Reconciliation Disputes pursuant to this clause (e) shall be referred to herein as the Final Net Working
      Capital and/or the Final Leakage Amount and shall be evidenced by the “Final Adjustment Statement”.

    

    

    (f)           Within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Adjustment Statement:  (i) if the Final Adjustment Statement would result in a greater Purchase Price than the amount
      reflected in the Estimated Adjustment Statement, Buyer shall pay Sellers the excess amount on a dollar-for-dollar basis to such account as directed by Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds; or (ii) if the Final Adjustment Statement
      would result in a lower Purchase Price than the amount set forth in the Estimated Adjustment Statement, Sellers shall pay Buyer the difference in such amount on a dollar-for-dollar basis to such account as directed by Buyer, by wire transfer of
      immediately available funds, such amount paid pursuant to clause (i) or clause (ii), as applicable, be deemed to be an adjustment to the Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price Adjustment”). 






      If any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.04(f) is not paid within such five (5) Business Day period, interest shall accrue on such unpaid amount at an annual rate equal to the Reference Rate plus one






      and one-half percent (1.5%) (but not to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable Law), calculated from the date such amount was due until paid.

            (a) rate regulation as a “public utility” under the Federal Power Act; (b) regulation under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (other than as with respect to an owner or operator of a qualifying small power production facility); or (c) regulation as an “electric utility company” or a “holding company” under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 (“PUHCA”); provided, however, ownership
            of the fuel cell energy Projects listed on Annex II may result in Buyer being subject to regulation as a “holding company” under PUHCA.

            (d)          Neither Seller, nor any of Seller’s Affiliates, has received any written notice of material breach or default of any Project Contract, except as would not reasonably be expected

            (a)           True and complete copies of all Real Property Agreements have been made available to Buyer in the Data Room, except as would not reasonably be expected to be material to the
              applicable Company or Company Subsidiary.

            (f)          There are no Actions pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened in writing against the Real Property, or in connection with the Real Property Agreements, except as would not
              reasonably be expected to be material to the applicable Company, Company Subsidiary or Project.  Except for such proceedings listed in Schedule 4.05(f), neither Seller, WGL Energy Services, the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has

              their respective Affiliates’ possession have been made available to Buyer in the Data Room that are not subject to a confidentiality or other obligation in favor of a third party, which is not an Affiliate of either Seller, who is unwilling
              to consent to such Project Report being made available to Buyer, except to the extent any failure to make a Project Report available to Buyer would not reasonably be expected to be material to the applicable Company or Company Subsidiary. 

             

            Section 4.07        Regulatory Status.  Except for the fuel cell energy Projects listed on Annex II, each Project is a QF and is
              eligible for the exemptions from regulation as set forth in 18 C.F.R. §§ 292.601(c) (including exemption from FPA Sections 203, 205, and 206), 292.602(b) and 292.602(c).  A QF self-certification filing has been made with respect to each
              Project (other than (a) the fuel cell energy Projects listed on Annex II, and (b) as of the Effective Date, the Projects listed on Schedule 4.07) that has a power production capacity greater than 1 MW applying the method of
              calculation in 18 C.F.R. §292.204; all representations and information in such self-certification filings were and remain true, correct and complete in all material respects; and each such self-certification is in full force and effect.  None
              of any Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Project is subject to regulation by any state utility regulatory commission under applicable Laws as a “utility,” “electric utility,” “public utility,” “electric corporation,” “public service
              company” or similar entity with respect to its rates and finances, obligations to make utility-related filings (including tariff filings) or utility-related obligations to the public, except for any such regulation that would not reasonably
              be expected to be material to the applicable Company, Company Subsidiary or Project. Each fuel cell energy Project listed in Annex II is interconnected directly to the offtaker under the fuel cell Project’s respective Power Purchase
              Agreement, and each fuel cell energy Project sells its electrical output exclusively at retail for use solely by the offtaker under such Power Purchase Agreement (other than through net metering arrangements between the customer and the local
              electric utility as provided in the applicable Power Purchase Agreement). 

             

            
              36

              
                


            

            Section 4.08         Interpretation for Certain Sections of Article IV.  Solely for the purposes of the representations and warrants in Section





                4.02(b), Section 4.02(d), the first sentence of Section 4.03, Section 4.04(a), Section 4.04(b), Section 4.04(c), Section 4.04(d), Section 4.04(e), Section 4.05(a), Section

              representations and warranties are deemed to be made with respect to the applicable Company or Company Subsidiary as if the Project Asset Transfer with respect to such Person has been consummated.

            Section 5.02         No Conflicts; Consents.  The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement, and the consummation of the

              (c) except as disclosed in Schedule 5.02, require the consent, notice or other action by any Person under, conflict with, result in a violation or breach of, constitute a default under or result in the acceleration of any agreement to
              which Buyer is a party, except in the cases of clause (b) and clause (c), where the violation, breach, conflict, default, acceleration or failure to give notice would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely
              affect Buyer’s ability to consummate the Transactions.  No consent, approval, Permit, Governmental Order, declaration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Authority is required by or with respect to Buyer in connection with the
              execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, except for such filings as disclosed in Schedule 5.02 and such consents, approvals, Permits, Governmental Orders, declarations, filings or notices
              which would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Buyer’s ability to consummate the Transactions.

            Section 5.03          Investment Purpose.  Buyer is acquiring the Membership Interests solely for its own account for investment purposes and
              not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof.  Buyer acknowledges that the Membership Interests are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities Laws, and that the
              Membership Interests may not be transferred or sold except pursuant to the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom and subject to state securities laws and regulations, as
              applicable.  Buyer is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Membership Interests for an indefinite period (including total loss of its investment), and has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to
              be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of its investment. 

             

            Section 5.04          Brokers.  No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in
              connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Buyer. 

             

            Section 5.05         Sufficiency of Funds.  As of the Closing Date, Buyer has sufficient cash on hand or other sources of immediately available
              funds to enable it to make payment of the Closing Payment (less the Deposit and the interest accrued thereon) and consummate the Transactions and the Transaction Documents. 

             

            

            Section 5.06          Legal Proceedings.  There are no Actions pending or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened in writing against or by Buyer or
              any Affiliate of Buyer that challenge or seek to prevent, enjoin or materially and adversely alter or delay the Transactions. 

             

            Section 5.07          Regulatory Matters.  Buyer is not a “holding company” as defined in PUHCA.

            Section 5.09         Independent Investigation.  Buyer has conducted its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the business,
              results of operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or assets of the Company and acknowledges that it has been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, assets, premises, books and records, and other documents
              and data of Seller and the Company for such purpose.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that:  (a) in making its decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and to consummate the Transactions, Buyer has relied solely
              upon its own investigation and the express representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Article III and Article IV (including the related portions of the Schedules); and (b) neither of Seller or the Company nor any other Person has
              made any representation or warranty as to Seller, the Company or this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in Article III and Article IV (including the related portions of the Schedules). 

             

            Section 5.10          Compliance with Laws.  Buyer is in compliance with all Laws applicable to it or its business, properties or assets,
              except where the failure to be in compliance would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Buyer’s ability to consummate the Transactions.

            Section 6.02         Access to Information.  From the Effective Date until the Closing, Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies and the
              Company Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to:  (a) grant Buyer and its Representatives and counsel reasonable access to and the right to inspect all of the Real Property, properties, assets, premises, books and records,
              contracts, agreements and other documents and data related to the Companies, the Company Subsidiaries and the Projects; (b) furnish Buyer and its Representatives and counsel with such financial, operating and other data and information
              related to the Companies, the Company Subsidiaries and the Projects as Buyer or any of its Representatives and counsel may reasonably request; and (c) instruct the Representatives and counsel of Sellers and the Companies to cooperate with
              Buyer in its investigation of the Companies, the Company Subsidiaries and the Projects; provided, however, that any such investigation shall not:  (i) interfere unreasonably with normal operations of
              (A) a Seller, any Company, any Project or any customer of a Seller or any Company or (B) Sellers’ or their Affiliate’s execution of their respective obligations hereunder; (ii) violate any applicable Laws or safety and security procedures or
              rules of a Seller, any Company, any Project or any customer of a Seller or any Company; or (iii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel, infringe upon any attorney-client work product or like privilege.  All requests by Buyer for access
              pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be submitted or directed exclusively to Sellers.  Prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of Sellers, which may be withheld in Sellers’ sole discretion, Buyer shall not contact any
              suppliers to, or customers of, any Seller or any Company, and Buyer shall have no right to perform air, surface, invasive or subsurface investigations of the Real Property or invasive or destructive sampling of any Project Assets.  Buyer
              shall, and shall cause its Representatives and counsel to, abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to any access or information provided pursuant to this Section 6.02.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
              in the Confidentiality Agreement, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, each Company and each of their respective Affiliates, contractors, agents or employees against and from any Loss arising from Buyer’s or any of its
              representatives’ or contractors’ conduct of the due diligence activities permitted by this Section 6.02 or any breach of this Section 6.02. 

             

            Section 6.03         Supplement to Schedules.  From time to time prior to the Closing, but in no event more than once in every seven (7) day
              period, the Sellers shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Schedules with respect to any matter hereafter arising or of which it becomes aware after the Effective Date (each a “Schedule Supplement”). The Sellers shall deliver any Schedule Supplement no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date or, if less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a period prior
              to the Closing Date which Buyer acknowledges in writing was reasonably sufficient to review such information. Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation
              or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 have been satisfied; provided,
              however, that if Buyer has the right to, but does not elect to, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01 or determine the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(q) have not been satisfied within five (5) Business Days of its receipt
              of such Schedule Supplement, then Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement or to determine that the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(q) have not been satisfied with respect to only such matter
              solely based on the facts and circumstance as it was disclosed to Buyer at the time of the Schedule Supplement, taken by itself; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver shall not affect Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement or to
              determine that the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(q) have not been satisfied if either the facts and circumstances with respect to such matter materially change from those disclosed to the Buyer at the time of the Schedule Supplement or
              additional matters are disclosed in subsequent Schedule Supplements which, when taken together with the matters presently disclosed, would in the aggregate permit the Buyer to terminate this Agreement or to determine that the conditions set
              forth in Section 8.02(q) have not been satisfied.  For avoidance of doubt, no Schedule Supplement shall affect any right of indemnification under this Agreement.

            Section 6.04          Officer, Manager and Director Indemnification. 

             

            (a)           Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time
              prior to the Effective Date or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer, manager or director of the Company, as provided in the certificate of formation or the operating agreement of the Company, in each case as in effect on the date
              of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other agreements in effect on the Effective Date and disclosed in Schedule 6.04(a), shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective
              terms.

             

            (b)         The obligations of Buyer and the Company under this Section 6.04 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any officer, manager or
              director to whom this Section 6.04 applies without the consent of such affected officer, manager or director (it being expressly agreed that the officers, managers and directors to whom this Section 6.04 applies shall be
              third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.04, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.04).

             

            (c)          In the event Buyer, the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns:  (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or
              surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and
              assigns of Buyer or the Company, as applicable, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.04.

            Section 6.05          Confidentiality. 

             

            (a)           This Agreement and all information disclosed to a Party by another Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by the Confidentiality Agreement and the Parties shall
              abide by the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 6.05 shall limit the disclosure by any Party of any information in connection with any litigation between the Parties (provided that such
              Party has taken all reasonable actions to limit the scope and degree of disclosure in any such litigation).

             

            (b)          After the Closing, each Party agrees to treat and hold as confidential any information concerning the business and affairs of the other Party to which such Closing relates, which
              is not already generally available to the public (the “Confidential Information”), refrain from using any of the Confidential Information other than in accordance with this Agreement, for
              purposes internal to Seller and its Affiliates or as otherwise agreed in writing between Seller or any of its Affiliates and Buyer or any of its Affiliates.  In the event that a Party is requested or required (by oral question or request for
              information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Party shall (to the extent practical given the circumstances) notify the
              other Parties promptly of the request or requirement so that the other Parties may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.04(b).  If, in the absence of a protective order or the
              receipt of a waiver hereunder, a Party is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal, such Party may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided that such Party shall use
              commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request and expense of any other Party, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as a
              Party shall designate.

             

            (c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.05 or the Confidentiality Agreement, Buyer agrees that Sellers may, indirectly or directly, through one or
              more intermediaries, furnish this Agreement to any Person in connection with the termination of any other agreement with respect to the acquisition of any of the Projects by such Person.

            Section 6.06          Governmental Approvals and Other Third-Party Consents. 

             

            (a)          From the Effective Date through the Closing Date, each Party shall (and shall each cause their respective Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to make or obtain all
              notices, filings, consents, waivers, confirmations and approvals of Governmental Authorities that any of Seller, Buyer or their respective Affiliates are required to make or obtain before the Closing in order to consummate the Transactions
              and maintain such consents in full force and effect once made or obtained, which shall include to:  (i) make or cause to be made any filings required under any foreign, federal, state or local Laws with respect to the Transactions, in each
              case, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and to pay any fees due from it in connection with such filings; (ii) cooperate with the other Party and furnish all information in such Party’s possession that is necessary in connection with
              such other Party’s filings; (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the expiration of the notice or waiting periods under any Laws with respect to the Transactions as promptly as is reasonably practicable; (iv) promptly inform the
              other Party of any communication from or to, and any proposed understanding or agreement with, any Governmental Authority in respect of such filings, and permit the other Party to review in advance any proposed communication by such Party to
              any Governmental Authority to the extent it is reasonably practicable to do so; (v) consult and cooperate with the other Party in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments and opinions made or
              submitted by or on behalf of any Party in connection with all meetings, actions and proceedings with Governmental Authorities relating to such filings; (vi) comply, as promptly as reasonably practicable, with any requests received by such
              Party or any of its Affiliates under any Laws for additional information, documents or other materials; (vii) use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any objections as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the
              Transactions; (viii) use commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any action or proceeding instituted (or threatened in writing to be instituted) by any Governmental Authority challenging the Transactions as being in violation of
              any Law; (ix) request expedited and, as appropriate, confidential treatment of any such filings; and (x) cooperate in good faith with all Governmental Authorities and not take any action that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect
              the approval of any Governmental Authority of any of the aforementioned filings.

             

            (b)         No Party shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry related to the Transactions, unless it
              consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting including with or through the Representatives and counsel of
              the other Party.  Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 6.05, the Parties shall provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Representatives or counsel, on
              the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions; provided, however, that either Party may redact from any filings provided to the other Party
              hereunder, and shall not be required to provide any materials or information hereunder, to the extent such filings, materials or information relate to the providing Party and not to the Company.

             

            (c)          HSR Act.  As promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the Effective Date, or such other time as mutually agreed upon
              by the Parties, Seller and Buyer shall prepare and file all filings applicable to it in connection with the Transactions that may be required under the HSR Act. Subject to Section 6.06:  (a) each Party shall cooperate in good faith
              with the other Party in the preparation of all necessary filings and shall make its initial HSR Act filing on the same date; and (b) Buyer and each Seller shall and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts
              to cause the expiration of any applicable notice or waiting periods under the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as promptly as is reasonably practicable, including complying with any requests received by Buyer or either Seller or any
              of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, from a Governmental Authority under the HSR Act for additional information, documents or other materials.  Buyer shall pay all fees payable to the United States Government in connection with the
              filings under the HSR Act, if any.

             

            
              44

              
                


            

            (d)         Buyer shall not contact CFIUS with respect to the Transactions, or file a voluntary notification with CFIUS pursuant to Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as
              amended.  In the event that Buyer receives notice that CFIUS has requested a notification or initiated a review of the Transactions pursuant to 31 C.F.R. § 800.401(b) or (c), Buyer shall promptly provide notify Sellers of such notice.  Buyer
              reserves the right to comply with any such request from CFIUS and to cooperate with any review initiated by CFIUS.  Buyer agrees that Sellers shall have no obligation to repurchase any of the Membership Interests in the event that CFIUS
              orders Buyer to divest any of such Membership Interests.

             

            (e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to approval of a Governmental Authority under the HSR Act or by FERC, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be required to commit
              to or effect (and Sellers shall not commit to or effect without the consent of Buyer) (i) the sale or disposition of, or prohibition or limitation on the ownership or operation by Buyer or any of its subsidiaries of specific assets or
              categories of assets or businesses; (ii) the amendment or termination of existing contracts, licenses or other relationships; (iii) the entering into of new contracts, licenses or other relationships; and (iv) behavioral commitments limiting
              or modifying Buyer’s or any of its Affiliates’ rights of ownership in, or ability to conduct the business of, one or more of its operations, divisions, businesses, product lines or assets.

             

            (f)           As soon is as practicable, but in any event, prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall (or shall cause their respective Affiliates to):  (i) file a QF self-certification with
              respect to (A) each Project set forth on Schedule 4.07 and (B) any other Projects (other than the fuel cell energy Projects listed on Annex II) that have a power production capacity greater than 1 MW, applying the method of
              calculation in 18 C.F.R. §292.204, with respect to which such filing has not been made as of the Effective Date; (ii) submit to the FERC Office of Enforcement a self-report related to the wholesale sale of energy, capacity or ancillary
              services from any Late QF Project prior to the QF self-certification of any such Late QF Project; and (iii)  file with FERC a refund report related to the wholesale sale of energy, capacity or

            (a)           Subject to its confidentiality obligations hereunder and under the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, Seller shall have the right to retain a copy of all books and records
              delivered to Buyer.

             

            (b)           In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims that may be made by or against or incurred by Buyer or the Company after the Closing, for a period of five (5) years
              following the Closing, Buyer shall:

             

            (i)          retain the books and records (including personnel files) acquired from Seller which relate to any of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their operations
              for periods prior to the Closing; and

             

            (ii)         upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of Seller or the Company reasonable access (including the right to make, at Buyer’s expense, photocopies),
              during normal business hours, to such books and records.

             

            (c)           Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be obligated to provide the other Party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 6.07
              where such access would violate any Law.

             

            Section 6.08         Closing Conditions.  From the Effective Date until the Closing, each Party shall, and Seller shall cause the Company or
              the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are reasonably necessary to satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article VIII. 

             

            
              
                Section 6.09         Public Announcements.  Except for statements made or issued:  (a) pursuant to the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or

                  Law, no Party shall issue, or permit any agent or Affiliate of such Party to issue, any press releases or otherwise make, or cause any agent or Affiliate of such Party to make, any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the
                  Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Parties, provided that for any disclosures under clauses (a) through (c) above, no Party shall be permitted to disclose any schedules, annexes or exhibits to this
                  Agreement without the prior consent of the other Parties.  The releasing Party shall provide a copy of such proposed press release or statement to the other Party at least two (2) Business Days before releasing it to the public and
                  incorporate any reasonable changes which are suggested by the non-releasing Party prior to releasing or making the statement.  Following the consummation of the Closing, the Parties shall cooperate to prepare a press release with respect
                  to Transactions which shall be in substance mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers.

            Section 6.10          Further Assurances. 

             

            (a)           Following the Effective Date, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances
              and assurances, and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the Transactions.

             

            (b)          Promptly following the Closing, Sellers shall request the prompt return or destruction of all non-public information concerning the Companies or the Company Subsidiaries
              theretofore furnished to any Person (other than Buyer) with whom a confidentiality agreement related to the proposed Transaction was entered into at any time within the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Effective Date.

             

            (c)           Within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, Seller shall have provided Buyer (including by electronic delivery) with the books and records of the Company, the
              Company Subsidiaries and the Projects relating to periods prior to the Closing Date (in each case, for the immediately preceding three (3) years), to the extent such books are records are reasonably available to the Company or any Company
              Affiliate.

             

            Section 6.11          Delayed Project Transfer. 

             

            (a)           After the Effective Date, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete, and cause their Affiliates to complete, the transactions contemplated by the Project
              Asset Transfer by September 1, 2019.

             

            (b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery or attempted assignment, transfer,
              conveyance or delivery to Arcadia Solar or Arcadia Fuel Cell of any Project or associated Project Asset would require any governmental or third-party authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers (“Transfer





                  Consents”), Sellers shall, and shall direct their Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Transfer Consents prior to September 1, 2019, and if not obtained by then, then by Closing, provided that if any
              such Transfer Consents shall not have been obtained prior to the Outside Termination Date, and the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII have otherwise all been satisfied or waived, including Section 8.02(k): (i) the
              Closing shall proceed without the assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such Project; (ii)  Section 6.11(c) shall apply to the Parties with respect to any such Project; and (iii) for the purposes of Sections 3.04(a),
              3.04(b), 3.05, 4.02(b) and 4.02(c) and Article V as of the Closing Date, Annex II shall be updated to remove the references to any Project not being assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered as of the
              Closing, which shall thereafter be subject to the terms of this Section 6.11.

             

            
              47

              
                


            

            (c)          This Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Project or Project Asset if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third
              party (including any Governmental Authority), would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or a violation of Law or would in any way adversely affect the rights of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.  In the event that any
              Transfer Consents have not been obtained as of Closing as set forth in Section 6.11(b), Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall negotiate in good faith to enter into a mutually acceptable agreement under which:
              (i) the applicable Project shall be transferred to the Buyer or the Company, as applicable, promptly after the respective Transfer Consent has been obtained; (ii) the Purchase Price paid to the applicable Seller by Buyer on the Closing Date
              shall include the amount as set forth on Annex IV with respect to such Project as if the relevant Transfer Consent had been obtained prior to the Closing Date; (iii) the terms of Sections 3.04(a), 3.04(b), 3.05,
              4.02(b) and 4.02(c) and Article V shall be incorporated into such agreement as applied to such Project; and (iv) (A) Sellers shall deliver a monthly report to Buyer with respect to the economics of such Project from and after
              September 1, 2019 (which Buyer shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and Sellers shall take in consideration good faith any reasonable comments of Buyer), and (B) the applicable Company (which following the Closing shall be owned by
              the Buyer) shall be deemed to, in compliance with Law, obtain the economic benefits and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with such Project in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting,
              sublicensing or subleasing to the Company, or under which the applicable Seller would, at the Company’s expense, enforce for the benefit of the Company any and all of its rights against a third party (including any Governmental Authority)
              associated with such Project, claim, right or benefit (collectively, “Third Party Rights”), and Sellers would promptly pay to the Company when received all economic benefits (less the economic obligations and economic burdens, but including associated Tax benefits and burdens to the applicable Company and/or Seller (assuming a Tax rate equal to the then-highest marginal federal
              income tax rate applicable to U.S. corporations, as in effect from time to time), including any economic burden associated with any drawdown or claim related to any Unreleased Support Obligations related to such Project which results from an
              event occurring on or after September 1, 2019 but prior to the Closing, received (or incurred) by the applicable Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with such Project until the relevant Transfer Consent is received (at which time
              such Project will be formally transferred and assigned to the Company).  In connection with such an agreement, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and any of their Affiliates, contractors, agents or employees against and from any
              Loss arising from any Seller’s use or operation of any such Project that is not transferred as of the Closing Date pursuant to such agreement, except to the extent such Loss results from Sellers failure to operate such Project in accordance
              with Good Utility Practices.

             

            (d)           To the extent that, by one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, any Project subject to an agreement described in Section 6.11(c) has not been assigned, transferred,
              conveyed or delivered to Buyer, Buyer shall then have the option of determining, in its sole discretion, whether to extend the time period for the agreement described in Section 6.11(c) for another one hundred eighty (180) days
              following the termination of the initial period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date.  Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing of such determination and (i) if Buyer chooses not to extend the time period, or (ii) it has been
              three hundred sixty (360) days after the Closing Date, Sellers shall promptly (but not later than ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of such notification) pay to Buyer the (X) the sum of (I) amount set forth on Annex IV with respect
              to such Project Asset which was paid by Buyer to Sellers on the Closing Date plus (II) any amount paid by Buyer for indemnification in accordance with Section 6.11(c), minus (Y) any amounts paid by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.11(c)(ii).  If the amount paid by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.11(c)(ii) exceeds the sum of (x) amount paid by
              Buyer to Sellers as described in Section 6.11(c)(i) plus (y) any amount paid by Buyer for indemnification in accordance with Section 6.11(c), then Buyer shall promptly (but not later
              than ten (10) Business Days following the giving of such notification) pay an amount equal to such difference to Sellers.  Any net payment by Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.11(d) shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to
              the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

            Section 6.12        Excluded Assets.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring on Buyer, and Buyer is not acquiring pursuant
              to this Agreement, any right, title or interest in, to or under any of the Excluded Assets.  At or prior to the Closing, one or more Affiliates of Sellers shall convey all of the Project’s rights, title and interest, if any, in the Excluded
              Assets to the applicable Seller or an Affiliate of such Seller.  Buyer agrees that any payment received by Buyer or the Company after Closing with respect to an Excluded Asset shall be promptly remitted to Sellers. 

             

            Section 6.13         Return of Support Obligations.  If any Support Obligations listed on Schedule 6.13 (excluding any Seller Cash
              Collateral) remain in effect as of the Closing Date (“Unreleased Support Obligations”), and Sellers nevertheless wish to proceed with Closing, then: 

             

            (a)          Buyer shall diligently seek to cause all such Unreleased Support Obligations to be replaced with letters of credit, guaranties or other security acceptable to the beneficiary
              thereof, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Permit or Contract and, in connection therewith, with respect to any Unreleased Support Obligation represented by a letter of credit or guarantee, Buyer
              shall (or shall cause the applicable beneficiary thereof to) use commercially reasonable efforts to return such Unreleased Support Obligation to the applicable Seller or the applicable issuer of such Unreleased Support Obligation, as
              applicable, together with a cancellation request executed by the applicable beneficiary thereof; and

            

             

            

            
              49

              
                


            

            
              
              
                
                  (b)          (i) On and after the Closing Date, if a beneficiary of any Unreleased Support Obligation with respect to which the applicable Seller or its Affiliates (excluding the
                    Companies and the Company Subsidiaries) has not been released draws or collects on any such Unreleased Support Obligation or the applicable Seller and/or its Affiliates (excluding the Companies and the Company Subsidiaries), as
                    applicable, incur a cost or expense on account of any such Unreleased Support Obligation and (ii) the event or condition giving rise to such drawing or demand under any such Unreleased Support Obligation has occurred on or after the
                    Closing Date, Buyer shall, within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Seller notifies Buyer in writing of such drawing or payment, reimburse the applicable Seller and/or such Affiliate thereof, as applicable, for the amount of a
                    drawing or payment under such Unreleased Support Obligation paid or incurred by the applicable Seller and/or such Affiliates, as applicable, in connection with such Unreleased Support Obligation.  Notwithstanding anything to the
                    contrary provided herein, if the event or condition giving rise to such drawing or demand under any such Unreleased Support Obligation has occurred before the Closing Date, Buyer shall not be responsible for any such cost, expense or
                    loss arising under such Unreleased Support Obligation and all such costs, expenses or losses shall be borne solely by the applicable Seller and/or its applicable Affiliates.  To the extent that any such payment or reimbursement is not
                    made as provided above within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Seller notifies Buyer in writing of such drawing or payment recoverable pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.13(b), such drawing or payment shall
                    bear interest (y) in respect of any Unreleased Support Obligation that accrues interest, at the rate per annum at which such Unreleased Support Obligation accrues interest or (z) in respect of any Unreleased Support Obligation that does
                    not accrue interest, at a rate equal to Reference Rate plus one and one-half percent (1.5%) per annum, in either case, from the date that Buyer shall have been obligated to reimburse the
                    applicable Seller and/or its Affiliates under this Section 6.13(b) through the date of payment.  Buyer shall indemnify the applicable Seller and/or its applicable Affiliates for any reasonable and documented expenses incurred by
                    the applicable Seller and/or its Affiliates solely in connection with enforcing Buyer’s obligation to make any reimbursement that is required but not timely made pursuant to this Section 6.13(b).

                   

                  Section 6.14          SFGF II’s Approved Project Company Purchase Obligations.

                   

                  (a)           With respect to the Projects listed on Schedule 6.14(a) at Closing, Buyer agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, as owner of one hundred percent (100%) of
                    the SFGF II Membership Interests:  if and to the extent that Buyer determines in good faith that based on the information provided by Sellers, that all conditions precedent to Section 4.1(a) (the “Objective Conditions”) of the SFGF II MPA will be met with respect to any such Project,  in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the SFGF II MPA and the SFGF II LLC Agreement, Buyer, as “Managing
                    Member” of SFGF II shall seek the approval of the holders of the SFGF II Class A Units for each such Project to be considered an “Approved Project” such that SFGF II will purchase the “Approved Project Company” under the SFGF II MPA
                    prior to its Completion Deadline.

                   

                  (b)          Buyer agrees that in the event any of the Projects listed on Schedule 6.14(a) at Closing  is not purchased by SFGF II pursuant to Section 6.14(a),
                    notwithstanding that the Objective Conditions have been met with respect to any such Project, as a result of the failure of the holders of the SFGF II Class A Units to provide approval under Section 6.03(x) of the SFGF II LLC Agreement,
                    then Buyer shall, subject to terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions set forth in the SFGF II MPA  (including (x) that such Project will have only achieved “Interim Completion” (as defined in the SFGF II
                    MPA) at the time of such purchase and (y) that WGL Seller complete such Project on substantially similar terms as set forth in Section 3.1 of the SFGF II MPA) or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Buyer and WGL Seller, purchase such
                    Project from WGL Seller for the price set forth on Schedule 6.14(a); provided that WGL Seller provides Buyer with at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice.

                  (c)          With respect to the Project listed on Schedule 6.14(c) at Closing,   Buyer shall, subject to terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions
                    set forth in the SFGF II MPA (including (x) that such Project will have only achieved “Interim Completion” (as defined in the SFGF II MIPA) at the time of such purchase and (y) that WGL Seller complete such Project on substantially
                    similar terms as set forth in Section 3.1 of the SFGF II MPA) or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Buyer and WGL Seller, purchase such Project from WGL Seller for the price set forth on Schedule 6.14(c); provided that WGL
                    Seller provides Buyer with at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice.

                   

                  (d)           As of the Closing, Seller shall update (i) Schedule 6.14(a) to remove any Project set forth therein that is already owned by SFGF II at such time and (ii) Schedule




                      6.14(c) to remove the Project set forth therein if such Project is already owned by Arcadia Solar at Closing, provided that, for the sake of clarity, through its purchase and acquisition of Arcadia Solar, the Parties hereby agree
                    that (A) Buyer shall only be required to purchase the Project set forth on Schedule 6.14(c) at Closing subject to substantially similar terms and conditions as set forth in the SFGF II MPA (including (x) that such Project will
                    have only achieved “Interim Completion” (as defined in the SFGF II MIPA) at the time of Closing and (y) that WGL Seller complete such Project on substantially similar terms as set forth in Section 3.1 of the SFGF II MPA) and (B) if the
                    conditions set forth in clause (A) of this Section 6.14(d)(ii) are not met, such Project shall remain on Schedule 6.14(c) at Closing.

                   

                  Section 6.15         Remediation Expenditures.  Seller shall, prior to the Closing of the Transactions, use commercially reasonable
                    efforts to complete all of the remediation projects and other ordinary course repairs and equipment replacements set forth on Schedule 6.15.  If any such remediation is not fully completed as of the Closing, Seller shall
                    reimburse Buyer for all expenses associated with completing such remediation and other repairs and replacements after the Closing.

                   

                  Section 6.16          [RESERVED]

                   

                  Section 6.17          Residential Solar Service Provider.  On or prior to September 15, 2019, if Buyer has not favorably concluded its
                    internal review process with respect each Residential Solar Service Provider, then WGL Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in replacing any Residential Solar Service Provider which does not pass Buyer’s
                    internal review process, under any applicable servicing arrangement or Contract to which such Residential Solar Service Provider is party with either Lease Dimensions Inc. or another service provider acceptable to Buyer.

                  Section 6.18         Audit Support.  Upon the written request of Buyer, Sellers shall make their Representatives and counsel available to
                    Buyer for the purpose of supporting Buyer in response to any IRS audit of a Company’s or a Company Subsidiary’s Taxes or Tax Returns for taxable periods:  (a) prior to the Closing Date; and (b) taxable year immediately following the
                    year that the Closing is consummated for a service fee payable by Buyer to WGL Seller equal to the market standard rate at the time for equivalent services.

                   

                  Section 6.19        Charter Documents.  Following the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall use commercially
                    reasonable efforts to provide to Buyer copies of the Charter Documents of each Company and Company Subsidiary, and to help identify any Company or Company Subsidiary which has a Charter Document under which the day to day management of
                    the Company or Company Subsidiary is delegated to a natural person, and work collaboratively with Buyer to  amend and restate any such Charter Documents effective as of the Closing Date in a manner which is in form and substance
                    reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and expressly permitted by any required third party approvals.

                   

                  Section 6.20          Project Insurance Claims.  Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts: (a) promptly on or following the
                    Effective Date, to deliver to Buyer a list of all claims made under the Project Insurance in the three (3) years prior to the Effective Date; and (b) on or prior to the Closing Date, to update such list of claims to add any claims made
                    under the Project Insurance after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date.

                   

                  Section 6.21         Portfolio Economic Benefits.  It is the Parties’ intent that in the event of Closing that occurs after September 1,
                    2019, the Buyer shall be entitled to the economic benefits (less the economic obligations and economic burdens, but including associated Tax benefits and burdens to the applicable Company and/or
                    Seller (assuming a Tax rate equal to the then-highest marginal federal income tax rate applicable to U.S. corporations, as in effect from time to time)) associated with all of the Companies, Company Subsidiaries and Projects, including
                    any economic burden associated with any drawdown or claim related to any Unreleased Support Obligations which results from an event occurring on or after September 1, 2019 but prior to the Closing (the “Portfolio




                        Economic Benefits”), assuming that the Closing had occurred on September 1, 2019.  In the event that the Closing does not occur by September 1, 2019, then if any Portfolio Economic Benefits are not contributed to or
                    retained by the applicable Company during the period from September 1, 2019 until the Closing, they shall be referred to as “Portfolio Leakage Amounts”, and shall be reflected as an
                    adjustment to the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.02 and Section 2.04.  In such case, Sellers shall deliver the Portfolio Economic Report to Buyer on a monthly basis from and after September 1, 2019.  The
                    calculation of the Portfolio Economic Benefits shall be made in accordance with the Portfolio Economic Report; provided that Buyer shall have a right to review any Portfolio Economic Report during the adjustment period contemplated by Section




                      2.04.  For the sake of clarity, if the Closing has not occurred by September 1, 2019, Sellers shall deliver a Portfolio Economic Report from and after September 1, 2019 until the earlier of the Closing or a termination of this
                    Agreement under Article X.

                  Section 6.22        Existing Litigation.  From and following the Effective Date and until the Closing Date, each Seller, as applicable,
                    shall, or shall cause the applicable Company Subsidiary, to diligently pursue the prosecution, settlement or compromise of each Existing Litigation.  From and following the Closing Date, each Seller and Buyer (at their own cost) shall
                    cooperate in good faith to pursue the prosecution, settlement or compromise of the Existing Litigation identified as item 1 on Schedule 3.12(a) (GL Georgia Project Group LLC v. Chief
                      Manufacturing, Inc.), and: (i) the Sellers shall be entitled to the economic benefits  associated with resolution of such Existing Litigation for the period prior to September 1, 2019; and (ii) the Buyer shall be entitled to
                    the economic benefits  associated with resolution of such Existing Litigation for the period from and after September 1, 2019.

                   

                  Section 6.23          Property Tax Appeals.  From and following the Effective Date and until the Closing Date, each Seller, as
                    applicable, shall, or shall cause the applicable Company Subsidiary to diligently pursue the prosecution, settlement or compromise of the applicable Seller Tax Appeals.  From and following the Closing Date, each Seller and Buyer (at
                    their own cost) shall cooperate in good faith to pursue the prosecution, settlement or compromise of each of the Seller Tax Appeals, and: (i) the Sellers shall be entitled to the economic benefits associated with resolution of such
                    Seller Tax Appeals for the period prior to September 1, 2019; and (ii) the Buyer shall be entitled to the economic benefits associated with resolution of such Seller Tax Appeals for the period from and after September 1, 2019.

                   

                  Section 6.24        Fuel Cell Project FERC Filing.  WGL Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, in connection with
                    Buyer’s preparation and submission to FERC of a petition for declaratory order regarding the non-traditional utility status of the fuel cell energy Projects listed in Annex II within ten (10) days following the satisfaction of
                    the condition set forth in Section 8.03(g).

                  ARTICLE VII

                  Tax Matters

                   

                  Section 7.01          Purchase Price Tax Allocation.  Sellers and Buyer agree that the sale of the Membership Interests pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for United States federal and state income Tax purposes as a sale to Buyer of all of the assets
                      of the Company and an assumption by Buyer of all of the liabilities of the Company.  No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a preliminary schedule allocating the Purchase Price among
                      the Company’s assets which shall be consistent with the allocation in Annex IV (the “Purchase Price Tax Allocation Schedule”). 




                      Buyer shall permit Sellers thirty (30) days to review and comment on the preliminary Purchase Price Tax Allocation Schedule.  Sellers shall notify Buyer in writing within thirty (30) days of its acceptance of or any dispute of the
                      Purchase Price Tax Allocation Schedule.  If Sellers notify Buyer of a dispute, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputed aspects with respect to the preliminary Purchase Price Tax Allocation Schedule. 
                      Sellers and Buyer agree and acknowledge that each shall report the Transactions to the applicable Tax authorities consistent with the final Purchase Price Tax Allocation Schedule mutually agreed upon pursuant to this Section 7.01. 




                      The final Purchase Price Tax Allocation Schedule shall be revised to take into account subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price, including any indemnification payments.

                   

                  Section 7.02          Tax Covenants.  Each Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the applicable Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Tax Return
                      for a period ending on or before the Closing Date.  Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law).  With respect to any Tax Return covering a Straddle Period that is
                      required to be filed after the Closing Date:

                   

                  (a)          Buyer shall cause such Tax Return to be prepared (in a manner consistent with practices followed in prior taxable periods and in compliance with Law except as required by a
                    change in Law or fact) and shall deliver a draft of such Tax Return to Sellers for Sellers’ review and approval at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such Tax Return;

                   

                  (b)           Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate and consult with each other in order to finalize such Tax Return; and

                   

                  (c)           thereafter, subject to Sellers’ payment to Buyer of any portion of such Tax in compliance with this Section 7.02 with respect to the Straddle Period, Buyer shall
                    cause such Tax Return to be executed and duly and timely filed with the appropriate Tax authority and shall pay all Taxes shown as due and payable on such Tax Return.

                   

                  Section 7.03          Tax Indemnification.

                   

                  (a)          Sellers shall indemnify the Company and Buyer and hold them harmless from and against all Taxes of the Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (“Pre-Closing Taxes”) and Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for any such Taxes pursuant to this Section 7.03 within thirty (30) days after payment of such Taxes by Buyer or the Company; provided that, Sellers
                    shall not be required to indemnify Buyer for any penalties resulting from Buyer’s failure to timely file any Tax Return.

                   

                  
                    (b)          Buyer shall indemnify Sellers for any Taxes of the Companies or relating to the business of the Companies that are prepaid by Sellers on or before the Closing Date and
                      that are applied to a taxable period after the Closing Date (including to the post-Closing portion of a Straddle Period).

                  

                   

                  

                  
                    54

                    
                      


                  

                  Section 7.04         Straddle Period.  With respect to any Company or Company Subsidiary characterized as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Seller and Buyer agree to take into account their varying interests in such partnership
                      using the interim closing of the books method permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1(c)(2)(ii).  Otherwise, in the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing
                      Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), Sellers and Buyer shall determine the Tax attributable to the portion of the Straddle
                      Period that ends on the Closing Date as follows:

                   

                  (a)          in the case of ad valorem or property Taxes, the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days
                    in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; and

                   

                  (b)           in the case of any other Tax, the amount which would be payable computed on a closing of the books basis as if the relevant Tax period ended as of the close of business on
                    the Closing Date.

                   

                  Section 7.05          Contests.  Buyer agrees to give prompt written notice to Sellers of the receipt of any notice by the Company, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any
                      Action, in respect of which an indemnity for which Sellers may be liable pursuant to Section 7.03 (a “Tax Claim”).  Sellers
                      shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right to attend or participate in respect of any such Tax Claim and Sellers shall obtain the prior written consent of Buyer before
                      entering into any settlement, compromise or commencement of litigation in respect of a Tax Claim.

                   

                  Section 7.06         Tax Refunds and Credits.  Sellers and Buyer each agree to pay to the other Parties any refund or rebate received
                    (whether by payment, credit, offset or otherwise) by it or any of its Affiliates, in respect of any Taxes for which the other Party is liable, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such refund or rebate.  Sellers and Buyer shall
                    cooperate to take any necessary steps to claim any such refund or rebate.  Schedule 7.06 lists each anticipated property tax refund claim.

                   

                  Section 7.07         Cooperation and Exchange of Information.  Sellers and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in determining the Purchase Price Tax Allocation Schedule, filing any
                      Tax Return pursuant to this Article VII, or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company.  Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or
                      portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Tax authorities.  Each of the Sellers and Buyer shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work
                      papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for six (6) years.  Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents
                      in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, shall provide the other Parties with reasonable written notice and offer the other
                      Party the opportunity to take custody of such materials.  Any unresolved disputes regarding the Purchase Price Tax Allocation Schedule, filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article VII, or in connection with any audit or
                      other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company will be resolved by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Parties.  The costs and expenses of such
                      independent accounting firm shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller.

                   

                  
                    55

                    
                      


                  

                  Section 7.08        Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article VII shall
                    be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law in which case such indemnification payments shall be grossed-up and paid on an after-tax basis.

                  

                  

                  Section 7.09           Survival.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Article VII shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any
                      waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus sixty (60) days.

                  

                  

                  Section 7.10          Transfer Taxes.  All Transfer Taxes imposed on Buyer, a Seller or a Company by Law as a result of this Agreement
                    shall be paid by Buyer.  Buyer shall timely file all Tax Returns for any Transfer Tax as required by Law and shall notify Seller when such filings have been made.  This Section 7.10 shall not apply to any Transfer Taxes
                    resulting from the Project Asset Transfer, which the applicable Seller shall be solely responsible for paying.

                  

                  

                  Section 7.11          Overlap with Indemnification.  Other than with respect to claims for Recapture Liability which shall be governed by
                    Article IX, to the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article IX may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Article VII, the provisions of this Article VII
                    shall govern.

                    representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) or in all material respects (in the case of any representation or warranty not qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect), except where the
                    failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Companies.

                  

                  

                  (b)          Each Seller shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all agreements, covenants and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied

                      agents, attorneys and representatives and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against, and shall
                      hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of: (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement; or (b) any
                      breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

                  (g)          IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY INDEMNIFYING PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR ANY PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY
                    NATURE, OR ANY DAMAGES BASED ON ANY TYPE OF MULTIPLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SAID CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER THEORY OF LAW OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE OTHER PARTY’S OR ANY OF ITS
                    AFFILIATES’ NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES’ SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT (COLLECTIVELY, “NON-REIMBURSABLE DAMAGES”).  THE FOREGOING
                    LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO DAMAGES: (I) THAT ARE ASSERTED BY AN UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTY FOR WHICH A PARTY IS EXPRESSLY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; OR (II) RESULTING FROM A CLAIM RELATED TO BUYER’S BREACH OF
                    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROJECTS.

                  (a)          Third-Party Claims.  If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action or other legal
                    proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement or a Representative or counsel of the foregoing (a “Third-Party





                        Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written
                    notice thereof.  The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses
                    by reason of such failure.  Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if
                    reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense
                    of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, in advance of its exercise of
                    such right, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party an acknowledgement in writing of the unqualified obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such claim; provided, however, such
                    right of the Indemnifying Party shall not apply to any claims that relate to or involve: (i) alleged violations of criminal law; (ii) any claim seeking specific performance or injunctive relief; or (iii) an amount in controversy that is
                    in excess of the liability limitations for the applicable subject matter in this Agreement.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 9.05(b), it shall have the
                    right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Party shall have the
                    right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof.  If the Indemnifying Party elects not to
                    compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.05(b), pay,
                    compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim.  Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in
                    connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.05) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of
                    actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

                    (b)          Settlement of Third-Party Claims.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not
                      enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 9.05(b).  If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to
                      Liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in
                      connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnified Party fails to
                      consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum Liability of the Indemnifying Party as to
                      such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer.  If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle
                      the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim.  If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without
                      the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

                    

                    

                    (c)           Direct Claims.  Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a
                      “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof.  The failure to give such prompt written
                      notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure.  Such notice by the
                      Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may
                      be sustained by the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim, which response may include a statement that the Indemnifying Party
                      intends to attempt to cure the matter giving rise to the Direct Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party states that it intends to cure the matter giving rise to the Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30)
                      days in which to effect a cure (such period shall be automatically extended for a period of up to an additional sixty (60) days if the Indemnifying Party is diligently attempting to effect a cure but needs additional time to do so)
                      (such period, including any extension, the “Cure Period”).  During such thirty (30)-day period following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the notice of the Direct Claim and during the
                      Cure Period, the Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records in connection with the Indemnifying Party and its
                      professional advisors’ investigation of the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim; provided, however, that any such investigation or access shall not:  (i) interfere unreasonably with normal operations of any Indemnifying Party; (ii) violate any applicable Laws or safety and security procedures
                      or rules of any Indemnifying Party; (iii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel, infringe upon any attorney-client work product or like privilege; or (iv) require the Indemnifying Party to disclose any information that it considers in
                      good faith to be confidential or proprietary or that would be adverse to its interests in a legal proceeding.  If the Indemnifying Party does not respond to the notice of Direct Claim within the thirty (30)-day period provided above
                      for such response or does not cure the matter giving rise to the Direct Claim within the Cure Period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such
                      remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

                    

                    

                    Section 9.06       Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated
                      by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law in which case such indemnification payments shall be grossed-up and paid on an after-tax basis.

                    Section 9.07          Exclusive Remedies.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any
                      and all claims (other than claims made under Article VII or arising from Fraud on the part of a Party in connection with the Transactions) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set
                      forth herein or any claim otherwise relating to the Project Assets or subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each
                      Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein it may have against the
                      other Party and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives and counsel arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VII or this Article IX. 




                      Nothing in this Section 9.07 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 11.11 or to seek any remedy on account of Fraud by any Party.

                    Section 10.01        Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

                    

                    

                    (a)           by the mutual written consent of Sellers and Buyer;

                    

                    

                    (b)           by Buyer by written notice to Sellers if:

                    

                    

                    (i)          Buyer is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any
                      representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by a Seller pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure cannot
                      be cured by such Seller on or before the date that is the later of (A) six (6) months after the Effective Date and (B) three (3) months following receipt of written notice of such breach, inaccuracy or failure, provided, that such
                      cure period shall not extend beyond the later of (x) twelve (12) months after the Effective Date and (y) thirty (30) days following any receipt during the twelfth (12th) month after the Effective Date of written notice of such breach, inaccuracy or failure, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties   (the “Outside Termination Date”);

                    

                    

                    (ii)         any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 shall not have been fulfilled by the Outside Termination Date, unless
                      such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or

                    

                    

                    (c)           by a Seller by written notice to Buyer if:

                    (i)          Seller is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any
                      representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII, and such breach, inaccuracy or failure cannot be
                      cured by Buyer on or before the Outside Termination Date, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties; or

                    

                    

                    (ii)         any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.03 shall not have been fulfilled by the Outside Termination Date, unless
                      such failure shall be due to the failure of such Seller to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or

                    

                    

                    (d)           by Buyer or a Seller in the event that:

                    

                    

                    (i)           there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the Transactions illegal or otherwise prohibited; or

                    

                    

                    (ii)         any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order (including with respect to the HSR Act, if applicable) restraining or enjoining the
                      Transactions, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable.

                    

                    

                    Section 10.02        Termination Fee.

                    

                    

                    (a)          In the event of the termination of this Agreement by a Seller in accordance with Section 10.01(c)(i), Buyer shall immediately pay to Sellers, as liquidated
                      damages in connection with any such termination, a fee in the amount of the Deposit and the interest accrued thereon (the “Termination Fee”); provided, payment of such Termination
                      Fee by Buyer to Sellers shall be satisfied through application of the Deposit and the interest accrued thereon provided by Buyer to Sellers in accordance with Section 2.03.

                    

                    

                    (b)           Upon Sellers’ receipt of the Termination Fee:  (i) no Seller or Affiliate of any Seller shall have any rights or claims against Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer relating
                      to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any of the Transactions (other than the Surviving Obligations), whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise; and (ii) Buyer shall have no further liability to
                      the Sellers, the Companies or any Affiliate of Sellers with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions (other than the Surviving Obligations).  If Buyer is required to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 10.02,
                      payment of the Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Sellers, the Companies or any of their respective former, current and future Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, shareholders,
                      members, managers, partners, agents, attorneys, other representatives, successors and/or assigns against Buyer and any of its respective former, current and future Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, incorporators,
                      shareholders, members, managers, partners, agents, attorneys, other representatives, successors and/or assigns (the “Buyer Related Parties”) for any Losses suffered or incurred as a result of or
                      under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Transactions, including the failure of the Closing to occur (other than the Surviving Obligations).  The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Buyer be
                      required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion or, together with the Buyer Related Parties, have any liability in excess of the Termination Fee under this Agreement prior to the Closing under any circumstances.

                    (c)           In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01 that does not require payment of the Termination Fee, in accordance with Section




                        10.02(a), Sellers shall return the Deposit and the interest accrued thereon to Buyer.

                    

                    

                    (d)          Buyer and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 10.02 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these
                      agreements, the Sellers and Buyer would not enter into this Agreement.  Each of the Parties further acknowledges that the payment by Buyer of the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but constitutes liquidated damages in a reasonable
                      amount that will compensate the Sellers in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on
                      the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amounts would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

                    

                    

                    Section 10.03        Effect of Termination.  In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article X,
                      this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party except:

                    

                    

                    (a)            as set forth in Section 6.05, Section 6.09, this Article X and Article XI; and

                    

                    

                    (b)            that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for Fraud (clause (a) and clause (b), collectively,
                      the “Surviving Obligations”).

                    Section 11.01        Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including Section 7.10), all costs and expenses,
                      including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing
                      shall have occurred.

                    (g)           except where otherwise expressly provided for herein, any consent from a Party contemplated by this Agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed
                      by such Party;

                    

                    

                    (h)           unless the context otherwise requires, references herein:  (i) to Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Schedules and

                    (j)            the Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim
                      herein; and

                    

                    

                    (k)           whenever the deadline for performance of an obligation falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the deadline for performance of such obligation shall be extended to

                      jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.  Upon such

                      both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.  In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in
                      the Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement shall control.

                    Section 11.08       No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except as provided in Section 6.04, this Agreement is for the sole benefit
                      of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature
                      whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, that the Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties are express third-party beneficiaries of Article VI.

                    

                    

                    Section 11.09       Amendment and Modification; Waiver.  This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement
                      in writing signed by each Party.  No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving.  No waiver by any Party shall operate or be
                      construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver.  No failure to
                      exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
                      hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

                    (c)          EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH
                      SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.  EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT:

                    Section 11.11       Specific Performance.  The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement
                      were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, subject to Section




                        10.02.

                    

                    

                    Section 11.12        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all
                      of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement.  A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e‐mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of
