of the Term, NEA shall sell and deliver at the Delivery Point, and CECO shall purchase and receive at the Delivery Point, electricity in the amounts set forth in Section 3.3 and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (Contract Energy). NEA shall be permitted to satisfy its obligation to deliver Contract Energy from any source of supply available to NEA. Contract Energy delivered to CECO by NEA or on behalf of NEA by NEAs
suppliers, designees or any other Person engaged by NEA to deliver Contract Energy shall be deemed delivered by NEA hereunder and NEA shall be solely responsible for any costs payable to its suppliers for such delivery. The aforementioned
obligations for NEA to sell and deliver the Energy and for CECO to purchase and receive the Energy shall be firm and subject to adjustment only to reflect performance interruptions excused by this Agreement.



3.2 Characteristics. Contract Energy delivered by NEA to CECO at the
Delivery Point shall be in the form of three (3)-phase, sixty (60) hertz, alternating current and otherwise in the form required by Market Rules and Procedures.



3.3 Scheduling.



(a) NEA shall Schedule deliveries of Contract Energy delivered hereunder with ISO in equal hourly quantities in accordance with all NEPOOL Practices and
Market Rules and Procedures applicable thereto as set forth in Schedule 3.3. Furthermore, Contract Energy will be sold and delivered for purchase by CECO in the form of Internal Bilateral Transactions (IBTs) and NEA will use
commercially reasonable efforts to transfer Contract Energy in the DAM; provided, however, that if such transfer cannot be made in the DAM, the Contract Energy shall be transferred in the RTM. All Contract Energy will be delivered to a specific node

penalties assessed by NEPOOL, ISO-NE or any other party against CECO as a direct result of NEAs failure to deliver such Contract Energy; provided, however, CECO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase replacement power or
otherwise mitigate such damages, penalties and related costs and charges wherever possible pursuant to applicable NEPOOL, ISO-NE or any other partys tariffs and operating procedures then in effect. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 8.1(g) and 8.2 hereof, the damages provided in this Section 3.6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of CECO for any failure of NEA to deliver Contract Energy that it is obligated to deliver hereunder. The invoice for the amount
payable pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall include a written statement explaining in reasonable detail the calculation of such amount.

be due in respect of the month in which the failure occurred, an amount for such Rejected Power equal to the Resale Damages. Resale Damages means an amount equal to (a) the amount, if any, by which (i) the Energy Payment
that would have been paid pursuant to Section 4.1(a) hereof for such Rejected Power, had it been accepted, exceeds (ii) the Resale Price ($/MWh) multiplied by the quantity (in MWh) of Rejected Power resold by NEA, plus (b) any
applicable penalties assessed by NEPOOL, ISO-NE or any other party against NEA as a direct result of CECOs failure to accept such Contract Energy; provided, however, NEA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Rejected Power or
otherwise mitigate such damages, penalties and related costs and charges wherever possible pursuant to applicable NEPOOL, ISO-NE or any other partys tariffs and operating procedures then in effect. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 8.1(h) and 8.2 hereof, the damages provided in this Section 3.7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of NEA for any failure of CECO to accept delivery of Contract Energy that it is obligated to accept hereunder. The invoice for

and Procedures do not impose any locational requirement with respect to Capacity. In the event that, at any time during the Term, the Market Rules and Procedures do impose a zonal, nodal or other geographic locational requirement, the Capacity
Requirement will be fulfilled for the zone, node or other geographic area in which the Facility is located.



(b) If NEA fails to provide CECO with all or part of the Capacity Requirement it is required to provide pursuant to Section 3.8 (a) hereof (a
Capacity Supply Shortfall) and such failure is not excused under the terms of this Agreement, then the Capacity Replacement Damages associated with such Capacity Supply Shortfall shall be deducted from amounts payable by CECO
hereunder for the next succeeding month or paid by NEA to CECO, at CECOs election. Capacity Replacement Damages, with respect to any portion of the Capacity Requirement that NEA fails to deliver to CECO hereunder, means an
amount equal to: (i) the amount, if any, by which the Capacity Replacement Price exceeds the Capacity Price, multiplied by the Capacity Supply Shortfall, plus (ii) any penalties assessed by NEPOOL, ISO-NE or any other party against CECO as
a direct result of NEAs failure to deliver the Capacity Requirement in accordance with Section 3.8 (a) hereof. Subject to Section 8.1(g) hereof, the damages provided in this Section 3.8(b) shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy of CECO for any failure of NEA to deliver the Capacity Requirement hereunder. With respect to any calendar month during the Term, NEA will be deemed to have failed to deliver the Capacity Requirement for such calendar month if it

(c) If CECO fails to accept delivery of all or part of the
Capacity Requirement it is required to purchase pursuant to Section 3.8 (a) hereof (a Capacity Receipt Shortfall), and such failure is not excused under the terms of this Agreement, then the Capacity Resale Damages
associated with such Capacity Receipt Shortfall shall be payable by CECO on the date payment would otherwise be due in respect of the month in which the failure occurred. Capacity Resale Damages, with respect to any portion of the
Capacity Requirement that CECO fails to accept delivery of from NEA hereunder, means an amount equal to: (i) the amount, if any, by which the Capacity Price exceeds the Capacity Resale Price, multiplied by the Capacity Receipt Shortfall, plus
(ii) any penalties assessed by NEPOOL, ISO-NE or any other party against NEA as a direct result of CECOs failure to accept delivery of the Capacity Requirement

at the Delivery Point for MWhs that cleared in the RTM for such month, plus (C) a support payment (the Support Payment) equal to the product of (I) the lesser of: the total Contract Energy (in MWhs) delivered to CECO
hereunder during such month or the MWh quantity for the applicable month, as set forth in Schedule 4.1(a), and (II) the $/MWh price (the Monthly Support Payment Price) for the applicable month, as set forth in Schedule 4.1(a).
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no exercise by NEA of its right under Section 8.2 to reduce Contract Energy delivered to CECO as a result of CECOs failure to timely pay for such Contract Energy shall have the
effect of reducing the Support Payment as calculated pursuant to this Section.

---

(ii) CECOs sole payment obligation, including without limitation any Support Payment obligation,
with respect to Contract Energy is limited to the payment of the Energy Payment for Contract Energy delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by or on behalf of NEA to the Delivery Point.



(b) All Capacity delivered to CECO under this Agreement shall be purchased by
CECO at the Capacity Price. CECOs sole payment obligation with respect to Capacity is limited to the payment of the Capacity Payment for the Capacity Requirement actually provided to CECO in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by or on
behalf of NEA. The Parties will negotiate in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner towards agreement upon a negotiated price for Capacity (the Negotiated Capacity Price) for each month of the Term in accordance with
the terms and provisions of this Section 4.1(b). At any time during the Term, NEA may request CECO to provide it with an indicative quote for the Capacity Requirement for one month or any period of months (the Quote Period)
as set forth in such request. Within six (6) Business Days after CECOs receipt of such request, CECO will provide NEA with an indicative quote for a purchase price of such Capacity Requirement for the Quote Period which CECO in its
commercially reasonable judgment believes reflects the fair market value for such Capacity Requirement. Within one Business Day after its receipt of such indicative quote, NEA will inform CECO as to whether NEA accepts or rejects the indicative
quote.



(i) In the event that NEA accepts the indicative
quote, the pricing reflected in such indicative quote will be established as the Negotiated Capacity Price for such Capacity Requirement unless CECO notifies NEA, within one Business Day after NEAs acceptance, that CECO retracts the indicative
quote. CECO may retract the indicative quote only in the event that CECO, in its commercially reasonable judgment, believes that the fair market value of the Capacity Requirement has materially declined since CECO delivered the indicative quote to
NEA. In the event that CECO retracts the indicative quote, NEA may, at its election, (A) provide Third-Party Quotes to CECO for the applicable Capacity Requirement, provided that NEA does so within two (2) Business Days after CECOs
retraction of the indicative quote (and, in which event, the procedures set forth in Section 4.1(b)(ii) will be followed to determine the Negotiated Capacity Price), or (B) request a new indicative quote from CECO (which request may be for
the same or a different period), in which event the negotiation process set forth in this Section 4.1(b) will be repeated with respect to such request.



(ii) In the event that NEA rejects such indicative quote, NEA may, at its election, provide one or more Third-Party Quotes to CECO for the Capacity
Requirement, provided that NEA does so within two (2) Business Days after NEAs rejection of the indicative quote. In the event that NEA so delivers one or more Third-Party Quotes to CECO, CECO will, within one Business Day after delivery
of the Third-Party Quotes, either (A) agree to establish any one of the Third-Party Quotes as the Negotiated Capacity Price or (B) sell Capacity (in an amount equal to the Capacity Requirement and for the Quote Period) to any of the
Approved Capacity Buyers cited in the Third-Party Quotes at a different price, in which case such different price will be established as the Negotiated Capacity Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, by the close of business on the Business Day
immediately following NEAs delivery of Third-Party Quotes, CECO, after making commercially reasonable efforts, is able to neither consummate a transaction as described in clause (B) of the immediately preceding sentence, nor confirm to
its reasonable satisfaction the validity and firmness of at least one of the Third Party Quotes, then no Negotiated Capacity Price will be deemed to have been established for the applicable Capacity Requirement. In such event (or in the event that
NEA does not deliver any Third-Party Quotes to CECO within two (2) Business Days after



- 13 -



---

its rejection of the indicative quote), NEA may request a new indicative quote from CECO (which request may be for the
same or a different period), in which event the negotiation process set forth in this Section 4.1(b) will be repeated with respect to such request.



(c) If, despite their good faith efforts, the Parties are not able to agree upon a Negotiated Capacity price prior to the Contract UCAP Transfer Deadline
then the Capacity Requirement shall be purchased by CECO from NEA on a bilateral basis and the Capacity Price paid by CECO to NEA shall be the settlement price set at the UCAP Monthly Supply Auction.



4.2 Payment and Netting.



(a) Billing Period. Unless otherwise specifically agreed upon by the
Parties, the calendar month shall be the standard period for all payments under this Agreement (other than Termination Payments). On or before the third (3rd) day following the end of each month, NEA will render to CECO an invoice for the Energy Payment and Capacity Payment obligations incurred hereunder during the preceding month.



(b) Timeliness of Payment. CECO shall use its reasonable efforts to
pay all NEA invoices under this Agreement on the fifteenth (15th) day after receipt of the invoice; provided, however, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, all invoices under this Agreement shall be due and payable in accordance with each
Partys invoice instructions on or before the later of thirty (30) days following the receipt of such invoice or, if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next Business Day. Each Party will make payments by electronic funds transfer,
or by other mutually agreeable method(s), to the account designated by the other Party. Any amounts not paid by the due date will be deemed delinquent and will accrue interest at the Late Payment Rate, such interest to be calculated from and
including the due date to but excluding the date the delinquent amount is paid in full.



(c) Disputes and Adjustments of Invoices. A Party may, in good faith, dispute the correctness of any invoice or any adjustment to an invoice, rendered under this Agreement or adjust any invoice for any
arithmetic or computational error within twelve (12) months of the date the invoice, or adjustment to an invoice, was rendered. In the event an invoice or portion thereof, or any other claim or adjustment arising hereunder, is disputed, payment
of the undisputed portion of the invoice shall be required to be made when due, with notice of the objection given to the other Party. Any invoice dispute or invoice adjustment shall be in writing and shall state the basis for the dispute or
adjustment. Payment of the disputed amount shall not be required until the dispute is resolved. Upon resolution of the dispute, any required payment shall be made within two (2) Business Days of such resolution along with interest accrued at
the Late Payment Rate from and including the due date but excluding the date paid. Inadvertent overpayments shall be reimbursed or deducted by the Party receiving such overpayment from subsequent payments, with interest accrued at the Late Payment
Rate from and including the date of such overpayment to but excluding the date repaid or deducted by the Party receiving such overpayment, as directed by the other party. Any dispute with respect to an invoice is waived unless the other Party is
notified in accordance with this Section 4.2 within twelve (12) months after the invoice is rendered or any specific adjustment to the invoice is made. If an invoice is not rendered within twelve (12) months after the close of the
month during which performance occurred, the right to payment for such performance waived.

---

(d) Netting of Payments. The Parties hereby agree that they shall discharge mutual debts and
payment obligations due and owing to each other under this Agreement on the same date through netting, in which case all amounts owed by each Party to the other Party for the purchase and sale of Contract Energy during the monthly billing period
under this Agreement, including any related damages calculated pursuant to this Agreement, interest, and payments or credits, shall be netted so that only the excess amount remaining due shall be paid by the Party who owes it. If no mutual debts or
payment obligations exist and only one Party owes a debt or obligation to the other during the monthly billing period, such Party shall pay such sum in full when due. The Parties agree to provide each other with reasonable detail of such net payment
or net payment request.



4.3 Interest on Late Payment.
If a payment is not received when due under this Agreement, the delinquent Party shall pay to the other Party interest on such unpaid amount which shall accrue from the due date until the date upon which payment in full is made at the prime lending
rate as may from time to time be published in The Wall Street Journal under Money Rates on such day (or if not published on such day on the most recent preceding day on which published) (the Late Payment Rate).

Effective Date.



(c) As of the Effective Date, NEA forever
relinquishes and waives any rights it may have or may have in the future under PURPA or any federal or state regulation, act or order implementing PURPA, to require CECO or any of its affiliates to purchase electricity and or capacity generated at

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed as (i) a waiver by either Party of any right to challenge any attempt by DTE, FERC or any other Governmental Entity to disallow rate recovery or modify, amend or supplement this Agreement or (ii)
an acknowledgment by any such Party that DTE, FERC or any other Governmental Entity would have such authority if it so attempted.



(f) As of the Effective Date, NEAs and CECOs obligations under this Agreement are expressly not conditioned on the maintenance of the QF

8.2 Remedies.



(a) Declaration of an Early Termination Date and Calculation of Termination Payments.

occurred and be continuing, NEA shall have the right (I) to designate a day on which this Agreement will terminate (the CECO Early Termination Date), (II) withhold any payments due to CECO under this Agreement and (III)
suspend performance. NEA shall calculate, in a commercially reasonable manner, a CECO Termination Payment as of the CECO Early Termination Date. As soon as practicable after termination, notice shall be given by NEA to CECO of the amount of the CECO
Termination Payment. The notice shall include a written statement explaining in reasonable detail the calculation of such amount. CECO



- 20 -

shall make the CECO Termination Payment within two (2) Business Days after such notice is effective.
If CECO disputes NEAs calculation of the CECO Termination Payment, in whole or in part, CECO shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the calculation of the CECO Termination Payment, provide to NEA a detailed written explanation
of the basis for such dispute; provided, however, CECO shall first transfer Performance Assurance to NEA in an amount equal to the CECO Termination Payment as calculated by NEA.



(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2(a)(i)(A), if on the first occasion that an Event of
Default by CECO pursuant to Section 8.1(b) shall have occurred and be continuing, and NEA has exercised its rights under Section 8.2(a)(i)(A) to designate a CECO Early Termination Date, which date shall be no less than twenty
(20) Business Days from the date NEA provides CECO with the notice of default under Section 8.1(b), CECO may, within twenty (20) Business Days of such notice, provide NEA with any amounts then due, plus credit support in an amount
equal to the aggregate of the payments to be made by CECO pursuant to Article 4 hereof for the subsequent three (3) month period, as calculated in good faith by NEA (and disregarding any suspension of performance by NEA under Section 8.2(a)(i))
(Credit Support) in any of the following forms: (I) a letter of credit with an initial term of at least six (6) months issued by a bank or other financial institution reasonably acceptable to NEA, which will allow NEA to
draw on the letter of credit up to the full amount upon a subsequent Event of Default by CECO, or (II) such other credit support proposed by CECO that is reasonably acceptable to NEA. If CECO makes such payments and provides such Credit Support,
then NEAs rights under Section 8.2(a)(i) shall no longer be in effect and, if NEA has suspended performance under Section 8.2(a)(i), NEA shall recommence such performance.



(C) In the event of either (I) a subsequent Event of Default by BECO pursuant to Section 8.1(b)
and a failure by BECO to maintain Credit Support as required under Section 8.2(a)(i)(B) or (II) a failure by BECO to maintain Credit Support as required under Section 8.2(a)(i)(B), NEA will have all rights as set forth in
Section 8.2(a)(i).



(D) CECO shall be
relieved of the obligation to maintain such Credit Support to the extent that each of the following shall have occurred: (I) for at least six (6) months CECO shall have provided and maintained the Credit Support in accordance with

at or above BBB-/Stable Outlook from S&P and at or above Baa3, Stable Outlook from Moodys (or in the event CECO does not have, or no longer has, a senior secured credit rating, its issuer and/or long term debt rating shall be referenced);
and (III) no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, including an event of Default under Section 8.1(b).



(ii) NEA Termination Payment. If an Event of Default with respect to NEA shall have occurred and be continuing, CECO shall have the right
(A) to designate a day on which this Agreement will terminate (the NEA Early Termination Date), (B) withhold any payments due to NEA under this Agreement and (C) suspend performance. CECO shall calculate, in a
commercially reasonable manner, a NEA Termination Payment as of the NEA Early Termination Date. As soon as practicable after termination, notice shall be

given by CECO to NEA of the amount of the NEA Termination Payment. The notice shall include a written
statement explaining in reasonable detail the calculation of such amount. NEA shall make the NEA Termination Payment within two (2) Business Days after such notice is effective. If NEA disputes CECOs calculation of the NEA Termination
Payment, in whole or in part, NEA shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the calculation of the NEA Termination Payment, provide to CECO a detailed written explanation of the basis for such dispute; provided, however, NEA shall first
transfer Performance Assurance to CECO in an amount equal to the NEA Termination Payment as calculated by CECO.

REMEDY OR MEASURE OF DAMAGES IS PROVIDED, SUCH EXPRESS REMEDY OR MEASURE OF DAMAGES SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, THE OBLIGORS LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED AS SET FORTH IN SUCH PROVISION AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES OR DAMAGES AT LAW OR IN
EQUITY ARE WAIVED. IF NO REMEDY OR MEASURE OF DAMAGES IS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE OBLIGORS LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES ONLY, SUCH DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES
OR DAMAGES AT LAW OR IN EQUITY ARE WAIVED. UNLESS EXPRESSLY HEREIN PROVIDED, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES, BY STATUTE, IN

9. FORCE MAJEURE



9.1 Force Majeure.



(a) The term Force Majeure means an event or circumstance which prevents one Party from performing its obligations under this
Agreement, which event or circumstance was not anticipated as of the date this Agreement was agreed to, which is not within the control of, or the result of the negligence of, the Claiming Party or its agents, contractors, suppliers or Affiliates,
and which, by the exercise of due diligence, the Claiming Party is unable to overcome or avoid or cause to be avoided, including storms, floods, earthquakes, tornados, fires, explosions, wars, riots or other civil disturbances, acts of war or acts
of a public enemy, strikes, lockout, work stoppage or other industrial disturbances, labor or material shortage, and failure of the plant or plant equipment resulting from such force majeure events. Force Majeure shall not be based on (i) the
loss of CECOs markets; (ii) CECOs inability economically to use or resell the Contract Energy purchased hereunder; (iii) the loss or failure of NEAs supply; or (iv) NEAs ability to sell the Contract Energy at a
price greater than the amount provided for in Section 4.1(a).



(b) Neither Party may raise a claim of Force Majeure based in whole or in part on curtailment by a Transmission Provider unless (i) such Party has contracted for firm transmission with a Transmission Provider for the Contract Energy to
be delivered to or received at the Delivery Point and (ii) such curtailment is due to force majeure or uncontrollable force or a similar term as defined under the Transmission Providers tariff; provided, however,
that existence of the foregoing factors shall not be sufficient to conclusively or presumptively prove the existence of a Force Majeure absent a showing of other facts and circumstances which in the aggregate with such factors establish that a Force
Majeure as defined in Section 9.1(a) has occurred.



9.2 Notice and Excuse of Performance.



(a)
Following a Force Majeure event, if either Party believes that such event will, or is reasonably likely to, adversely affect the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, then as early as commercially practicable but in no event later
than two (2) Business Days after the initial occurrence of such event and for contingency planning purposes, such Party shall provide preliminary telephonic notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure to the other Party promptly followed by
written notice on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day after the initial occurrence of such event. Such written notice shall specify the nature and, if known, cause of the Force Majeure, its anticipated effect on the ability of such Party to
perform obligations under this Agreement and the estimated duration of any interruption in service or other adverse effects resulting from such Force Majeure and shall be updated or supplemented as necessary to keep the other Party advised of the
effect and remedial measures being undertaken to overcome the Force Majeure.



(b) To the extent either Party is prevented by Force Majeure from carrying out, in whole or part, its obligations under this Agreement and such Party (the Claiming Party) gives notice and details of
the Force Majeure to the other Party as soon as practicable, then the Claiming Party shall be excused from the performance of its obligations with respect to such obligations (other than the obligation to make payments then due or becoming due with
respect to performance prior to the Force Majeure). The Claiming Party shall remedy the Force Majeure with all reasonable dispatch. The non-Claiming Party shall not be required to perform its obligations to the Claiming Party corresponding to the
obligations of the Claiming Party excused by Force Majeure.

10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION



In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement
(collectively, a Dispute), the Parties shall attempt in the first instance to resolve such Dispute through friendly consultations between the Parties. If such consultations do not result in a resolution of the Dispute within
fifteen (15) Days after notice of the Dispute has been delivered to either Party, then such Dispute shall be referred to the senior management of the Parties for resolution. If the Dispute has not been resolved within fifteen (15) Days
after such referral to the senior management of the Parties, then either Party may pursue all of its remedies available hereunder. The Parties agree to attempt to resolve all Disputes promptly, equitably and in a good faith manner. In the event a
dispute hereunder is resolved pursuant to arbitration or judicial proceedings, the Party whose position does not prevail in such proceedings shall reimburse all of the other Partys third party costs (including reasonable attorneys fees)
incurred to prosecute or defend (as the case may be) such proceedings.



11. CONFIDENTIALITY



11.1 Nondisclosure.
CECO and NEA each agree not to disclose to any Person and to keep confidential, and to cause and instruct its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, partners and representatives not to disclose to any Person and to keep confidential, any and
all of the following non-public information relating to the terms and provisions of this Agreement; any financial, pricing or supply quantity information relating to the Contract Energy to be supplied by NEA hereunder, the Facility or NEA and any
information that is clearly marked or identified as Confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such information may be disclosed: (a) to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar
legal process of any court or agency of federal, state or local government so long as the receiving Party gives the non-disclosing Party written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to such disclosure, if practicable; (b) to
lenders and potential lenders to CECO or to lenders to NEA or other Person(s) in connection with the implementation of this Agreement and to financial advisors, rating agencies, and any other Persons involved in the acquisition, marketing or sale or
placement of such debt; (c) to agents, trustees, advisors and accountants of the Parties or their Affiliates involved in the financings described in clause (b) above, (d) to potential assignees of CECO or NEA or other Persons in connection
with such proposed assignment and to financial advisors, rating agencies, and any other Persons involved in the marketing, placement or rating of such assignment, (e) to agents, trustees, advisors and accountants of the Parties or their
Affiliates or agents, trustees, advisors and accountants of Persons involved in the potential assignment described in clause (d) above or (f) to the extent the non-disclosing Party shall have consented in writing prior to any such
disclosure.



11.2 Public Statements. No public
statement, press release or other voluntary publication regarding this Agreement shall be made or issued without the prior consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

12. INDEMNIFICATION AND INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES



12.1 Indemnification. Each Party (Indemnifying
Party) shall indemnify, defend and hold the other Party (Indemnified Party) and its partners, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, employees and agents (including, but not limited to, Affiliates and contractors
and their employees), harmless from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, penalties, claims, demands, suits and proceedings of any nature whatsoever related to this Agreement suffered or incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of the
Indemnifying Partys gross negligence or willful misconduct (including, without limitation, any breach of this Agreement resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct). In the event injury or damage results from the joint or concurrent
grossly negligent or willful misconduct of the Parties, each Party shall be liable under this indemnification in proportion to its relative degree of fault. Such duty to indemnify shall not apply to any claims which arise or are first asserted more
than two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement. Such indemnity shall not include or compensate for indirect, punitive, exemplary, incidental or consequential damages incurred by either Party.



12.2 Indemnification Procedures. Each Indemnified Party shall promptly
notify the Indemnifying Party of any claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified under this Article 12. Such notice shall be given as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of
each claim; provided, however, that failure to give prompt notice shall not adversely affect any claim for indemnification hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Partys ability to contest any claim by any third party is materially
adversely affected. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its expense, to contest, defend, litigate and settle, and to control the contest, defense, litigation and/or settlement of, any claim by any third party
alleged or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of any matter in respect of which such Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify such Indemnified Party of its intention to
exercise such right set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by it prior to the assumption of such contest, defense or litigation by the
Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to select legal counsel to defend a claim for which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 12.2, subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party,
which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. If the Indemnifying Party exercises such right in accordance with the provisions of this Article 12 and any Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party that it desires to retain separate
counsel in order to participate in or proceed independently with such contest, defense or litigation, such Indemnified Party may do so at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party fails to exercise it rights set forth in the third sentence of this
Section 12.2, then the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the contest, defense or litigation of such claim. No Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise
any claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified under this Article 12 without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by the
Indemnifying Party.

13. ASSIGNMENT



13.1 Prohibition on Assignment. Except as provided in Section 13.2 hereof, this Agreement may not be assigned by
either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which may not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted or purported assignment of this Agreement that is not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof shall be null and
void and shall have no effect on or with respect to the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder.



13.2 Permitted Assignment.



(a) NEA shall have the right to assign all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of CECO solely for
financing purposes to existing and any future lenders secured, in whole or in part, by interests in the Facility, NEAs contractual rights, or NEA or Affiliates of NEA. Such assignment to lenders shall not operate to relieve NEA of any duty or
obligation under this Agreement. In connection with the exercise of remedies under the security documents relating to such financing(s), the lender(s) or trustee(s) shall be entitled to assign this Agreement to any third-party transferee designated
by such lender(s) or trustee(s), provided that CECO determines, in CECOs reasonable discretion, that such proposed transferee or assignee is qualified and capable to satisfy NEAs obligations hereunder.



(b) CECO shall have the right to assign this Agreement in connection with a
CECO Reorganization Event to any assignee without the consent of NEA so long as (i) the proposed assignee serves load in NEPOOL and (ii) the proposed assignees credit rating as established by Moodys or S&P is equal to or
better than that of CECO at the time of the proposed assignment (provided, that any such rating that is on watch for downgrading shall not satisfy the credit rating criteria described in clause (ii)).



(c) If either Party assigns this Agreement as provided in this
Section 13.2, then such Party shall cause to be delivered to the other Party an assumption agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the non-assigning Party) of all of the obligations of the assigning Party hereunder by such
assignee.



(d) An assignment of this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 13.2 shall not release or discharge the assignor from its obligations hereunder unless the assignee executes a written assumption agreement in accordance with Section 13.2(c) hereof.



14. NOTICES



Any notice or communication given pursuant hereto shall be in writing and
(1) delivered personally (personally delivered notices shall be deemed given upon written acknowledgment of receipt after delivery to the address specified or upon refusal of receipt); (2) mailed by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid (mailed notices shall be deemed given on the actual date of delivery, as set forth in the return receipt, or upon refusal of receipt); (3) e-mailed (e-mailed notices shall be deemed given upon actual receipt) or (4) delivered in
full by telecopy (telecopied notices shall be deemed given upon actual receipt), in either case addressed or telecopied as follows or to such other addresses or telecopy numbers as may hereafter be designed by either Party to the other in writing:
