 ARTICLE VI 

COVENANTS 
 6.1 Tax
Characterization. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for purposes of any applicable U.S. state or local tax purposes that follow the U.S. federal income tax treatment), the Parties agree to treat the contribution of the Shares by SRP to
YieldCo LLC in exchange for YieldCo Shares as qualifying for nonrecognition of gain or loss pursuant to Section 721 of the Code (including, to the extent applicable, by reason of assumption of a qualified liability under Treas. Reg. §
1.707-5 or a reimbursement of preformation capital expenditures under Treas. Reg. § 707-4(d)). The Parties will prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the foregoing and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return, or
during the course of any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law following a Final Determination. 

6.2 Purchase Price Allocation and Other Tax Matters. Within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, SRP shall deliver to the YieldCo
Entities a schedule allocating the Consideration and any other amounts properly treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes (to the extent known at such time) among the assets of the Tax Equity Partnership in accordance, as
applicable, with Sections 755 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. SRP and the YieldCo Entities will cooperate in good faith to mutually agree upon such allocation within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of
such allocation to the YieldCo Entities and will reduce such agreement to writing (as agreed upon, the “Purchase Price Allocation”). The Parties agree to revise the Purchase Price Allocation to take into account any subsequent
adjustments to the Consideration and any changes to any other consideration required to be taken into account under applicable Law, in the manner provided by Sections 755 and 1060 of the Code, as applicable, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
The Parties will not, and will cause their Affiliates to not, file any Tax Return or otherwise take any position with respect to Taxes (including during the course of any audit or other proceeding) which is inconsistent with the Purchase Price

8.3 Indemnification Procedures. 

(a) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any Person in respect of
which payment may be sought under Section 8.2, the Indemnitee shall assert its claim for indemnification (an “Indemnification Claim”) by giving written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to the applicable
Indemnitor (i) if the Indemnification Claim is, or relates to, a claim brought by a Person not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party (a “Third Party”), within 10 Business Days following receipt by Indemnitee of notice of such
claim, or (ii) if the Indemnification Claim is not, or does not relate to, a claim brought by a Third Party, within 30 days after the discovery by the Indemnitee of the facts, events or circumstances giving rise to such Indemnification Claim;
provided, that no delay on the part of an Indemnitee in giving a Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnitor of any indemnification obligation hereunder unless the Indemnitor demonstrates that the defense of such Indemnification Claim is
materially and adversely prejudiced by such delay. Each Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim. 

(b) Upon receipt by an Indemnitor of a Claim Notice in respect of a claim of a Third Party, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to
(i) assume and have sole control over the defense of such claim at its sole cost and expense and with its own counsel if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Claim Notice
from the Indemnitee; and (ii) negotiate a settlement or compromise of such claim; provided, that (x) such settlement or compromise shall include a full and unconditional waiver and release by the Third Party of all Indemnitees
(without any cost or liability of any nature whatsoever to such Indemnitees) and (y) any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense and settlement of a claim of a Third Party and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the
Indemnitee if such claim of the Third Party relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or claim or a primary objective of such claim is to seek equitable or injunctive relief against the
Indemnitee. If, within 30 days of receipt from an Indemnitee of any Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party claim, the Indemnitor (i) advises such Indemnitee in writing that the Indemnitor shall not elect to defend, settle or compromise such
claim or (ii) fails to make such an election in writing, such Indemnitee may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such claim; provided, that any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only
with the written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Unless and until the Indemnitor makes an election in accordance with this Section 8.3 to defend, settle or compromise
such claim, all of the Indemnitee’s reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such claim shall be considered Losses subject to indemnification hereunder and shall be borne by the Indemnitor and
payable monthly or as legal bills are received by the Indemnitee and tendered to the 

  
 23 








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

(c) After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Entity and the expiration of the time in which to
appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall forward to the Indemnitor
notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnitor pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter. 
 8.4 Certain Limitations on
Indemnification. 
 (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Party shall have any
indemnification obligations under Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i), (i) for any individual item where the Loss relating thereto is less than $500,000 (the “De Minimis”) and (ii) in respect of
each individual item where the Loss relating thereto is equal to or greater than the De Minimis, unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $1,500,000, in which case all Losses shall be indemnified from the first dollar. In no event
shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by any Party pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(b)(i), as applicable, exceed $15,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this
Section 8.4(a) shall not apply to any breaches of Fundamental Representations. 

  
 24 








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

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

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

  
 25

references in this Agreement to a given Party shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.
