&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the Deposit (the "**Independent Consideration**") shall be paid to Seller and considered completely nonrefundable to Purchaser in all events, it being the intent of the Parties to recognize that such amount has been bargained for and agreed to as independent consideration for Purchaser's exclusive right to purchase the Property and the Inspection Period provided hereunder, and for Seller's execution and delivery of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Closing Adjustments</u>.

Each Party shall pay one-half (1/2) of Title Company's escrow fee or termination charge.

Except as expressly set forth herein, all costs and fees associated with the sale of the Property as set forth herein shall be paid by the Parties in accordance with customary practices in the County, including the custom that all transfer taxes shall be paid by Seller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3. The provisions of this <u>Section 4</u> shall survive Closing and delivery and recordation of the Deed (hereinafter defined).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Title Information and Review</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1. Promptly following the Effective Date, (a) Purchaser shall obtain and deliver to Seller a commitment for issuance of a title policy for the Real Property and copies of all underlying title documents described therein (collectively, the "**Commitment**") issued by Title Company, and (b) Seller will deliver to Purchaser existing title policies and surveys that includes all or any part of the Real Property in its possession or control (the "**Existing Title Work**"). Purchaser shall have until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date that is three (3) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period (the "**Interim Date**") to provide written notice (the "**Title Notice**") to Seller and Title Company of any matters shown by the Commitment or the Survey (hereinafter defined) which are not satisfactory to Purchaser. If Seller has not received such Title Notice from Purchaser by the Interim Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved of the condition of title to the Real Property (excluding Mandatory Cure Items). If Purchaser timely delivers a Title Notice, then no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date that is two (2) days following the Interim Date (the "**Seller's Response Date**"), Seller may deliver, in its sole and absolute discretion, written notice to Purchaser and Title Company identifying which disapproved items Seller shall undertake to cure or not cure ("**Seller's Response**"); provided, however, that, except with respect to liens secured by deeds of trust or mortgages securing loans made to Seller, mechanics' liens arising from the actions of Seller, judgment liens of an ascertainable amount against Seller, delinquent real property taxes, any other monetary liens encumbering the Real Property resulting from Seller's actions on the Property, and any title exceptions, encumbrances and other matters intentionally or knowingly placed by Seller or suffered to exist by Seller on the Real Property after the Effective Date without Purchaser's prior written consent (collectively, herein "**Mandatory Cure Items**"), which Seller agrees to have removed or insured over in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall have no obligation to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any title objections unless Seller explicitly agrees to do so in this Agreement or in the Seller's Response, if any. If Seller does not deliver a Seller's Response on or before the Seller's Response Date, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure any exceptions disapproved by Purchaser other than any Mandatory Cure Items. Except for Mandatory Cure Items, all matters shown in the Commitment and the Survey which Seller has not agreed to remove or otherwise cure prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period shall be deemed to be approved by Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall in all events be obligated to remove, pay and/or satisfy prior to or at Closing, and regardless of whether Purchaser makes objection thereto, all Mandatory Cure Items unless otherwise agreed to by Purchaser and Seller in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3. Purchaser shall, at its expense, cause the preparation of an ALTA/NSPS survey of the Real Property (as may be supplemented or amended, the "**Survey**"). The Survey shall be subject to Purchaser's approval prior to the Interim Date. If the Survey, or any update of the Survey reveals matters unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser may treat this as an unsatisfactory title matter or new matter affecting the Real Property to be resolved in accordance with <u>Section 5.1</u> or <u>5.2</u>, respectively. Purchaser shall provide a copy of any Survey received by Purchaser to Seller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4. Provided that this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated and Purchaser is not then in material default, Purchaser's obligation to proceed to Closing shall be expressly conditioned upon the irrevocable commitment by Title Company to issue an ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (the "**Title Policy**") showing fee simple title to the Land vested solely in Purchaser with liability equal to the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (hereinafter defined), all in the form and with endorsements agreed upon by Purchaser and Title Company prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall furnish to Title Company an owner's affidavit, gap indemnity and a mechanics lien indemnity agreement, in the form customarily required by Title Company, as needed to enable Title Company to issue such Title Policy without any exception for parties-in-possession or mechanics' liens. For purposes of this Agreement, the "**Permitted Exceptions**" shall mean only those matters set forth in the Commitment, any Supplemental Commitment and the Survey approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser, and any matters affecting title as a result of any actions or omissions by Purchaser or otherwise approved by (or deemed approved by) Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall any Mandatory Cure Items be Permitted Exceptions unless otherwise agreed to in writing by and between Seller and Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Inspection Period</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1. Purchaser shall have until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date that is five (5) calendar days after the Effective Date (such period, the "**Inspection Period**"), to satisfy itself, in its sole and absolute discretion concerning, all aspects of the ownership, condition and development of the Property including, without limitation, the right of Purchaser to physically inspect the Property and review the items listed on <u>Schedule 6.1</u> and located in the Data Room (hereinafter defined) provided to Purchaser (collectively, the "**Investigation Materials**"). Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the Investigation Materials within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, to the extent such items are within Seller's possession or control and not previously delivered to Purchaser in the electronic data room (the "**Data Room**") for the Property. Within three (3) days of Purchaser's request for additional materials relating to the Property, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of all such materials to the extent such materials are within Seller's possession or control. Seller shall provide to Purchaser any documents described in this <u>Section 6.1</u> and coming into Seller's possession or control or produced by Seller after the initial delivery above and shall continue to provide same during the pendency of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Purchaser shall have the right to expedite the expiration of the Inspection Period and the Closing Date by providing written notice to Seller of its desire to so expedite, in which case the Closing shall occur on the date that Purchaser specifies in the notice. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser may exercise this right at its sole discretion upon determining that it has sufficiently mitigated risks relating to entitlements, Seller's representations and warranties, capital readiness, or any other matters relevant to Purchaser's transaction risk profile, and Seller shall be obligated to proceed to Closing on the accelerated schedule identified in Purchaser's notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1.5. <u>Indemnification</u>: Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to hold harmless and indemnify Seller from and against any and all third party, including Purchaser's Representatives, liabilities, claims, demands, damages or causes of action, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket third-party costs (collectively, "**Claims**"), to the extent resulting from the exercise of the right of entry herein granted to Purchaser and the Investigative Activities undertaken by Purchaser and Purchaser's Representatives upon the Property; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold Seller harmless from any Claims arising out of or relating to any: (i) grossly negligent acts or omissions of Seller, its agents or representatives; (ii) hazardous or toxic materials not first placed on the Property by Purchaser; or (iii) matters merely discovered by Purchaser or Purchaser's Representatives, but not originally caused by any of Purchaser or Purchaser's Representatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1.6. <u>Testing of Equipment</u>: Any inspections, tests, or commissioning of Equipment by Purchaser or Purchaser's Representatives will follow that certain Plug Power Substation Test Plan transmitted via email to Seller on January 7, 2026, prepared by and to be performed by Priority Power, and approved by Seller via email on January 7, 2026 (the "**Testing Plan**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4.1.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser warrants and represents that it has independently reviewed and verified all documents in the Data Room for the Property, documents provided by Seller directly, independently inspected the Property and any improvements thereon or related thereto, and have independently concluded that the Mini Substation was installed in accordance with all applicable laws, permits, plans, and specifications; and all required maintenance for the Mini Substation has been performed, is current as of Closing Date, and has been conducted in accordance with Seller's maintenance protocols.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4.2. To the extent such items are within the possession or control of Seller, Seller shall provide or make available the following documents to Purchaser not later than two (2) days prior to Closing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) A list of all necessary authorizations, licenses, permits, consents, filings, registrations, exemptions, and other approvals of federal, state or local governmental entities, agencies, or bodies, and all other persons or entities, if any, required to construct, provide utilities to, operate and own the Property (collectively, the "**Governmental Approvals**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To the extent required by any Governmental Approvals obtained (or required to be obtained) by Seller under this <u>Section 7.4.2</u>, reasonable documentary evidence, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, that the applicable governmental entity, agency or body has consented (or will, upon transfer, consent), to the transfer of such Governmental Approval to Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) On or before February 28, 2026 (the "**Off-Taker Agreement Deadline**"), Seller may propose to Purchaser a plan whereby a third-party offtaker would proceed with the complete dismantling of the Storage Spheres (the "**Off-Taker Agreement**"), which will provide that such dismantling would occur on or before April 15, 2026 (the "**Equipment Removal Deadline**"). If the complete dismantling would not be completed until after April 15, 2026, Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller to accommodate an extension of the Equipment Removal Deadline. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, at its election, enter into the Off-Taker Agreement in lieu of Seller, as reasonably necessary to achieve the foregoing deadlines. In either event, Seller shall bear the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Off-Taker Agreement. The Off-Taker Agreement must be legally enforceable, unconditional (other than customary conditions precedent), and executed by a third party with demonstrated operational capacity to complete the removal required herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Within three (3) Business Days after execution of the Off-Taker Agreement, the party entering into such Off-Taker Agreement shall deliver to the other party documentary evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a fully executed copy of the Off-Taker Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) proof of the off-taker's operational qualifications; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) confirmation of the off-taker's contractual obligation to complete Removal of the Storage Spheres by the Equipment Removal Deadline.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If the Off-Taker Agreement is not entered into by the Off-Taker Agreement Deadline or the Storage Spheres are not Removed by the Equipment Removal Deadline, Purchaser may, at its discretion, engage one or more third parties to perform the Removal of the Storage Spheres ("**Removal Option**"). In the event Purchaser exercises its Removal Option and the Storage Spheres Capital Release has been made, Seller shall not interrupt the removal process of the Storage Spheres. If Purchaser elects to demolish the Storage Spheres in connection with such Removal Option, Purchaser shall (i) bear the costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, and (ii) prior to the commencement of demolition activities, wire to the Seller an additional Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the "**Storage Spheres Capital Release**"). For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances, absent Seller's consent, may Purchaser proceed with the Removal of the Storage Spheres (whether demolition or dismantling) before the Off-Taker Agreement Deadline. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Storage Spheres Capital Release shall be nonrefundable to Purchaser, except in the event Closing fails to occur as a result of Seller's fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Storage Spheres Capital Release is refunded pursuant to this Section 7.4.3(c), such refund will be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights or remedies available to Purchaser under this Agreement, at law, or in equity in the event of Seller's fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in all events and under all circumstances, the Storage Spheres Capital Release, including any interest accrued thereon, shall be applied as a credit against the Purchase Price at the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4.4. From and after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall not, without Purchaser's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any new lease, easement, license, service contract, utility agreement, or other agreement that would materially affect the use, occupancy, operation, or value of the Property; provided, however, that Seller may enter into non-material agreements in the ordinary course of business that do not adversely affect Purchaser's intended use of the Property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **<u>Conditions Precedent</u>**. If this Agreement has not previously been terminated, Purchaser's obligations to proceed with the Closing under this Agreement are conditioned upon satisfaction of the following on or prior to the Closing Date unless an earlier date is indicated ("**Conditions Precedent**"):

If any change in condition or circumstances renders any of the foregoing warranties or representations of Seller inaccurate in any material respect between the date hereof and the Closing, Seller shall promptly deliver written notice to Purchaser of such change. If such change is the result of a material default under this Agreement by Seller or Seller's fraud, then the Parties shall proceed in accordance with <u>Section 14.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.2. For purposes of this Section 13, the taking or casualty of a portion of the Property shall be deemed to involve a material portion thereof if (i) the amount of the condemnation award or insurance proceeds with respect to such taking or casualty shall exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, (ii) the amount of land subject to the taking or casualty is greater than ten percent (10%) of the total area of the Land, or (iii) in Purchaser's sole determination, such taking or casualty materially impairs Purchaser's ability to develop and use the Property for its intended purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.3. **<u>Allocation of Obligations Pursuant to GCEDC Agreements</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.3.1. Seller shall remain solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Purchaser from and against, any liabilities or claims arising from or relating to any act, omission, condition, event, or noncompliance occurring prior to the Closing Date under the GCEDC Agreements or the Host Community Investment Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.3.2. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume and perform only those obligations under the GCEDC Agreements that arise from and after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall not be deemed to assume, nor shall Purchaser be responsible for, any obligation, liability, or default attributable to any period prior to the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.3.3. Purchaser acknowledges that the continuation of any tax abatements, exemptions, incentives, or other financial assistance is subject to applicable law and agency discretion. Purchaser makes no representation or covenant that it will maintain Seller's operations, employment levels, project configuration, or eligibility for any such financial assistance, and any modification, reduction, or termination thereof after the Closing Date shall not constitute a default by Purchaser under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.3.4. The provisions of this Section 13.3 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed and shall not be merged therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **<u>Defaults and Remedies</u>**. If any obligation hereunder is not performed as herein provided, there shall be the following remedies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.1. In the event that Purchaser fails to perform any of the material covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by Purchaser, Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days after Seller delivers written notice of default to Purchaser within which to cure any default under this Agreement; <u>provided, however</u>, if Purchaser's default is the failure to close this escrow when obligated, Purchaser shall have only one (1) Business Day after delivery of notice within which to cure the default. Seller's notice shall describe the nature of Purchaser's default in reasonable detail so that Purchaser is notified of the steps and actions Purchaser must effect to cure the default, and in the case of a default other than a failure to close this escrow when obligated, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within five (5) Business Days, Purchaser shall have such longer period as may be necessary to cure, so long as Purchaser commences to cure within the five (5) Business Day period and diligently pursues the cure to completion (up to a maximum of thirty (30) days). If Purchaser fails to cure the default within the applicable cure period, then Purchaser shall be in breach, in which event Seller's sole remedy shall be, at its election, to either (i) waive such default and proceed to Closing, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Purchaser and Title Company, whereupon Title Company will disburse to Seller the Deposit with no additional consent, approval or other documentation required from Purchaser, which Seller shall retain as liquidated damages pursuant to <u>Section 14.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2. **IF PURCHASER'S BREACH RESULTS IN A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT (AND IS NOT DUE TO SELLER'S ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR SELLER'S DEFAULT OR BREACH), SELLER'S DAMAGES WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN. THE PARTIES HAVE DISCUSSED AND NEGOTIATED IN GOOD FAITH UPON THE QUESTION OF THE DAMAGES TO BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED DUE TO PURCHASER BREACH AND HAVE ENDEAVORED TO REASONABLY ESTIMATE SUCH DAMAGES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, BY REASON OF THE AFORESAID CONSIDERATIONS: (i) SUCH DAMAGES ARE AND WILL BE IMPRACTICABLE OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX; (ii) LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT ARE AND WILL BE REASONABLE; (iii) IN THE EVENT OF SUCH BREACH, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO BE PAID AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT IN SATISFACTION OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AS SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY; AND (iv) IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, SELLER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO SEEK OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES AGAINST PURCHASER WITH RESPECT TO THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. THE PAYMENT AND RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.3. In the event that Seller breaches a representation or warranty or fails to perform any of the material covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by Seller, Seller shall have five (5) Business Days after Purchaser delivers written notice of default to Seller within which to cure any default under this Agreement; provided, however, if Seller's default is the failure to close this escrow when obligated, Seller shall have only one (1) Business Day after delivery of notice within which to cure the default. If Seller fails to cure the default within the applicable cure period, then Seller shall be in breach, unless the applicable cure period is extended per agreement of the parties hereto. In such event, Purchaser may, at its option and as its exclusive remedy, elect to (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller whereupon (a) Title Company will return to Purchaser the Deposit, with no additional consent, approval or other documentation required from Seller, and to the extent any portion of the Additional Deposit has been disbursed to Seller prior to such termination, Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for the full amount of such disbursed portion of the Additional Deposit; (b) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser's Expenses, up to a maximum amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00); and (c) both Purchaser and Seller will be relieved of any further obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for those obligations which expressly survive any termination hereof; or (ii) seek specific performance of this Agreement, provided that any suit for specific performance must be filed and commenced within ninety (90) days following Seller's default, Purchaser waiving the right to bring suit at any later date, and Seller shall have no liability for any special, incidental, consequential, punitive or other damages; or (iii) waive its right to terminate this Agreement and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby, thereby waiving any claim against Seller and releasing Seller from any liability or obligations in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit Purchaser's remedies at law, in equity or herein in the event (i) Seller shall convey the Property prior to the valid termination of this Agreement and as a result, the remedy of specific performance is unavailable to Purchaser, or (ii) Seller shall willfully or intentionally take any action to impair Purchaser's right to specific performance. Purchaser's sole rights in the event of a breach of any of Seller's Warranties contained in this Agreement where such breach was actually discovered by Purchaser prior to Closing shall be as provided in this <u>Section 14.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.4. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the execution and delivery of the Deed required hereunder for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **<u>Real Estate Commissions</u>**. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller has not contracted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder or any other party in connection with this transaction, and that Seller has not taken any action which would result in any real estate broker's, finder's or other fees or commissions being due or payable to any other party with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser has not contracted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder or any other party in connection with this transaction, and that Purchaser has not taken any action which would result in any real estate broker's, finder's or other fees or commissions being due or payable to any other party with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby. Each Party agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the other party from and against all liability, damage, loss, cost or expense (including reasonably attorneys' fees) arising out of such Party's breach of the representations and warranties set forth in this section, or out of such Party's breach of its obligations to its respective broker. The provisions of this <u>Section 15</u> shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **<u>Notices</u>**. All notices, demands, consents, approvals, requests or other communications which either of the Parties to this Agreement may desire or be required to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by (i) personal delivery; (ii) electronic mail; or (iii) a nationally recognized overnight courier service, fees prepaid, addressed as follows:

A notice sent in compliance with the provisions of this <u>Section 16</u> shall be deemed given on the date of receipt (or attempted delivery if delivery is refused), except that any notice sent via electronic mail shall be deemed given on the date sent (as evidenced by the sender's "sent mail" mailbox and by the absence of a delivery failure message) if sent or transmitted prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on a Business Day and, otherwise, on the next succeeding Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **<u>Assignment</u>**. Purchaser may assign this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date with the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign this Agreement without Seller's consent to any affiliate of Purchaser. Notwithstanding any assignment of this Agreement by the original Purchaser hereunder, the original Purchaser shall remain liable for any and all obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement following the effective date of such assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **<u>Further Assurances</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **<u>Severability</u>**. In the event that any provision herein contained which is not essential to the effectuation of the basic purpose of this Agreement is held to be invalid or void or contrary to any existing or future law by any court of competent jurisdiction, the same shall be deemed severable from the remainder of this Agreement and shall in no way affect any other provision herein contained which is valid. If such provision shall be deemed invalid due to its scope or breadth, such provision shall be deemed valid to the extent of the scope or breadth permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **<u>Dates</u>**. Unless otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, in computing any period of time described in this Agreement, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the Town of Alabama, New York, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement, references to deadlines, including all dates and times shall mean 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. **<u>Captions; Pronouns; Rules of Construction</u>**. The captions appearing at the commencement of the sections hereof are descriptive only and for convenience in reference to this Agreement and shall in no way whatsoever define, limit, amplify or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement, nor in any way be used in interpreting the terms of this Agreement or affect this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. **<u>Modification and Waiver</u>**. No modification, amendment, discharge or change of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by both Parties. No waiver shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the Party against which the enforcement of such waiver is or may be sought. The waiver by a Party of any breach of this Agreement or of any full or partial condition for performance hereunder shall not operate or be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach or condition. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27. **<u>Joint Escrow Instructions</u>**. This Agreement shall constitute joint escrow instructions of the Parties of Title Company.

The Parties hereby expressly agree that the terms and conditions hereof, and the subsequent performance hereunder, shall be governed by, and interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Real Property is located, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Real Property is located.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;29. **<u>Counterparts; Electronic Signatures</u>**. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement binding on the Parties, notwithstanding that the Parties shall not have signed the same counterpart. The Parties hereto consent and agree that this Agreement may be signed and/or transmitted by electronic mail of a .PDF document or using electronic signature technology (e.g., via DocuSign or similar electronic signature technology), and that such signed electronic record shall be valid and effective to bind the Party so signing as a paper copy bearing such Party's hand-written signature.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed, deemed, or interpreted by the Parties or by any third person to create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership, joint venture, or any other association other than that of seller-purchaser between the Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;31. **<u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;33. **<u>Joint and Several Obligations</u>.** Each Seller hereby agrees that all representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, obligations, and liabilities of "Seller" under this Agreement shall be joint and several obligations of each Seller, regardless of which Seller holds record title to any portion of the Property or is a party to any underlying agreement, except to the extent this Agreement expressly allocates responsibility to a specific Seller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;34. **<u>Confidentiality.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;34.1. Subject to the terms of this <u>Section 34</u>, Seller and Purchaser each agree that it shall (i) not disclose the other's Confidential Information (hereinafter defined) to third parties; (ii) use and disclose the other's confidential information solely for purposes of conducting the Investigative Activities; (iii) take reasonable steps to protect the other Party's Confidential Information that are at least as protective as those it takes to protect its own Confidential Information; (iv) notify the other promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information; and (v) cooperate with the other Party to help regain control of the Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized use or disclosure of it. This Agreement does not grant any implied intellectual property licenses to any Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, "**Confidential Information**" shall mean non-public information, know-how, and trade secrets in any form that is either marked "confidential" or a reasonable person knows or reasonably should understand to be confidential including without limitation Purchaser's identity or the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include the following, however marked: (a) information that is, or becomes, publicly available without a breach of this Agreement; (b) information that was lawfully known to the receiver of the information without an obligation to keep it confidential; (c) information received from another source who can disclose it lawfully and without an obligation to keep it confidential; and (d) information that is independently developed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;34.2. Notwithstanding anything in <u>Section 34.1</u>, above, to the contrary, either Party may disclose the other's Confidential Information if required to comply with a court order or other government demand that has the force of law. Before doing so, each Party, when possible, must give the other Party enough prior written notice to provide a reasonable chance to seek a protective order. Further, each Party will comply with all export laws that apply to Confidential Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;34.3. Each Party may disclose the other's Confidential Information to its employees, contractors, advisors, and consultants (a "**Permitted Party**"), who may then disclose that Confidential Information to other Permitted Parties so long as those other Permitted Parties have a need to know about it for purposes of the Investigative Activities. Before doing so, each Party must (i) ensure that its affiliates and each of its Permitted Parties have been instructed to protect the Confidential Information on terms consistent with this Agreement; and (ii) accept responsibility for each Permitted Party's use of Confidential Information. Neither Party shall be required to restrict work assignments of Permitted Parties who have had access to Confidential Information. Neither Party can control the incoming information the other will disclose while working together, or what each Party's Permitted Parties' will remember, even without notes or other aids. Each Party agrees that the use of information in their respective Permitted Parties' unaided memories does not create liability under this Agreement or trade secret law, and each Party agrees to limit what it discloses to the other accordingly.

**Plug Power Executes $132.5 Million Definitive Agreement with Stream Data Centers as First Step in $275 Million Strategic Infrastructure Optimization Initiative**

*First of three phases of targeted strategic infrastructure optimization initiative*

**SLINGERLANDS, N.Y., February 26, 2026** — <u>Plug Power Inc</u>. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the hydrogen economy, today announced it has entered into definitive agreement with Stream Data Centers, a time-tested hyperscale data center developer and operator with over 25 years of experience delivering high performance compute. The agreement advances Plug's previously announced initiative to generate more than $275 million in liquidity improvement through a combination of asset monetization, release of restricted cash, and reduced maintenance expenses.

Under the executed agreement, Plug expects to receive gross proceeds of at least $132.5 million, with total proceeds of up to $142 million depending on the timing of closing and certain asset-removal conditions. The transaction includes Plug's interest in the Project Gateway site in New York, comprising the land and associated infrastructure, select substation-related assets, and the assignment of certain related agreements. This asset sale is expected to close on or before the end of June 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, with a long-stop closing date of June 30, 2026. Stream Data Centers will provide a $6 million deposit in connection with the transaction.

The transaction is part of a larger proposed development by Stream Data Centers at the STAMP industrial park with an environmentally friendly and a water-efficient air-cooled design, and a low noise profile. Stream Data Centers' development will utilize existing infrastructure and power allocations, to avoid any potential cost impact to local communities. Furthermore, Stream Data Centers is proactively investing in the local community as part of the development.

This transaction allows Plug to unlock value from existing assets and maintain focus on hydrogen production and fuel cell deployment. Two additional initiatives are expected in 2026, with anticipated aggregate proceeds of more than $275 million.

"This agreement reflects Plug's disciplined approach to capital management and strategic execution," said Jose Luis Crespo, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Plug. "By optimizing our assets and unlocking value from existing infrastructure, we are strengthening liquidity, enhancing financial flexibility, and positioning Plug to participate in meaningful infrastructure growth opportunities."

As U.S. data center expansion accelerates to meet rising demand, access to reliable and scalable power solutions remains critical. Plug's agreement with Stream is the first step in aligning its power infrastructure capabilities with one of the fastest-growing segments of the domestic energy market while reinforcing its commitment to execution and capital efficiency.
