**\*\*\*\*\* Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information \*\*\*\*\***

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements may include words such as "expect," "intend," "plan," "likely," "seek," "believe," "project," "forecast," "target," "goal," "potential," "estimate," "may," "might," "will," "would," "should," "could," "can," "have," "due," "anticipate," "assume," "contemplate," "continue" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operational performance or other events.

The forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: the potential for future conditions that could raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern, which has occurred in the past; our obligation to refinance or repay our 6.50% Senior Notes due 2026 prior to their maturity; risks associated with contractual pricing in our industry; disputes with customers with long-term contracts; the performance of third parties' and subcontractors' on whom we rely; disruptions at our or third-party manufacturing facilities; our ability to execute our growth strategy; our evaluation of strategic alternatives; our ability to deliver our backlog on time or at all; professional liability, product liability, warranty or other claims; inadequate insurance coverage; our ability to compete successfully against current and future competitors; our development of new products; cyclical and economic impacts on demand for our products; compliance with government regulations; legislative and regulatory developments impacting our business; supply chain issues; the financial and other covenants in our debt agreements; our ability to maintain adequate bonding and letter of credit capacity; impairment to our goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets; our exposure to credit risk; disruptions in, or failures of, our information technology systems, including those related to cybersecurity; failure to comply with data and privacy laws, regulations and standards, or if we fail to properly maintain the integrity of our data, protect our proprietary rights to our systems or defend against cybersecurity attacks, we may be subject to government or private actions due to breaches; failure to protect our intellectual property rights, or inability to obtain or renew licenses to use intellectual property of third parties; uncertainty over tariffs and their impacts; sanctions and export controls; international political, economic and other uncertainties; fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies could harm our profitability; volatility of the market price and trading volume of our common stock; dilution of our common shareholders' ownership or voting power; the significant influence of B. Riley over us; anti-takeover provisions in our corporate documents; changes in tax rates or tax law; our ability to use NOL and certain tax credits; failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; new accounting pronouncements or changes in existing accounting standards and practices; our ability to attract and maintain key personnel; our relationship with labor unions; pension and medical expenses associated with our retirement benefit; natural disasters or other events beyond our control; and the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC.

These forward-looking statements are made based upon detailed assumptions and reflect management's current expectations and beliefs. While we believe that these assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment that are difficult to predict and may be beyond our control. Such uncertainties and factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

**BABCOCK & WILCOX ENTERPRISES, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

**MARCH 31, 2026**

**NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. ("B&W," "management," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC instructions for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all estimates and adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, required to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full-year ending December 31, 2026. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current period.

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

***Liquidity***

As disclosed in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, management concluded that actions completed during 2025 alleviated the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern that existed as of March 31, 2025. Management has evaluated conditions and events through the date of this filing and has concluded that substantial doubt does not exist as of March 31, 2026.

***Operations***

Our operations are assessed based on one reportable segment as described in Note 5. For financial information about our segment see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

------

**NOTE 2 – LOSS PER SHARE**

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share of our common stock, net of non-controlling interest and dividends on Preferred Stock:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| (in thousands, except per share amounts) | **2026** | **2025** |
| Loss from continuing operations | $(79622) | $(15632) |
| Less: Dividend on Series A Preferred Stock | 3715 | 3715 |
| Loss from continuing operations attributable to stockholders of common stock | (83337) | (19347) |
| Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax | 2677 | (6375) |
| Net loss attributable to stockholders of common stock | $(80660) | $(25722) |
| Weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted loss per share | 133754 | 97930 |
| Basic and diluted loss per share: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Continuing operations | $(0.62) | $(0.19) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Discontinued operations | 0.02 | (0.07) |
| Basic and diluted loss per share | $(0.60) | $(0.26) |

---

In accordance with GAAP, dilution is assessed on the basis of continuing operations. We incurred a net loss from continuing operations in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, therefore basic and diluted shares are the same for those periods.

We excluded 10.5 million and 1.1 million shares related to stock options and warrants from the diluted share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

**NOTE 3 – DIVESTITURES**

**Vølund**

In April 2025, Babcock & Wilcox A/S ("BWAS"), a subsidiary of the Company, sold substantially all of its assets, including intellectual property, specific project contracts as well as related agreements with suppliers and certain tangible assets, to Kanadevia Inova Denmark A/S (the "Buyer"). The sale was comprised of a simultaneous transfer of assets from BWAS to a newly incorporated BWAS subsidiary (the "NewCo") pursuant to a business transfer agreement ("BTA"), and sale of NewCo by BWAS to the Buyer pursuant to a share purchase agreement (together with the BTA, the "Purchase Agreements").

The Purchase Agreements provided for a base purchase price equal to $15.0 million plus $0.1 million (400,000 Danish krone), subject to certain offsets and adjustments, including additional payments to BWAS if the Buyer enters into a certain prospective project agreement within five years. In addition, BWAS and the Buyer entered into an agreement under which the Buyer loaned BWAS $5.0 million which will be considered repaid when BWAS transfers to NewCo certain retained intellectual property usage rights. The Purchase Agreements also included representations and warranties regarding BWAS and the transferred business and assets, as well as certain indemnities with respect thereto. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt and support working capital needs. We recorded a net loss of $36.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, which included a write off of CTA of $52.6 million.

**Diamond Power**

In June 2025, we through our wholly owned subsidiaries, The Babcock & Wilcox Company, Babcock & Wilcox International Sales and Service Corporation and Babcock & Wilcox Canada Corp. (collectively, the "Sellers") entered into an agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to sell to certain legal entities affiliated with Andritz AG the equity interests of Diamond Power and related legal entities together with assets related to the Diamond Power business. We closed the sale in July 2025.

------

The Purchase Agreement provided for a base purchase price equal to $177 million, subject to certain offsets and adjustments. The Purchase Agreement also included representations and warranties regarding the sale, as well as certain indemnities with respect thereto. The Purchase Agreement also included an undertaking for the Sellers and their affiliates not to compete with the Diamond Power business or to solicit customers or employees with respect to the Diamond Power business for a period of four years. Additionally, we entered into an agreement to provide transition services to the Diamond Power business for a period of 12 months, or until earlier agreed upon with respect to certain services. The proceeds are being used to support working capital needs and reduce outstanding debt. We recorded a gain of $53.2 million on the sale for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded an additional gain of $3.5 million as part of the settlement of certain outstanding items in accordance with the agreement, which is reported in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**ASH**

In October 2025, we completed a sale of the net assets comprising our ASH business to Andritz AG for $29.0 million, subject to customary fees and adjustments. In conjunction with the transaction, we and Andritz AG, through certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, have signed sales representative agreements under which we will continue to market ASH and Diamond Power products and services to customers in the utility power sectors. We recorded a gain of $21.5 million on the sale in the fourth quarter of 2025.

**Solar**

In December 2025, the B&W Solar business was disposed of through abandonment, as we ceased all business operations and either transferred or wrote off its remaining assets. No impairment charges were recognized as part of the abandonment.

**BWRS**

In June 2024, we, through our B&W PGG Luxembourg Finance Sárl subsidiary, sold all issued and outstanding share capital of our Denmark-based renewable parts and services subsidiary, BWRS, to Hitachi Zosen Inova AG. We received net cash proceeds of $83.5 million and recorded a gain on the sale of the business of $44.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a gain of $1.0 million and during the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred a loss of $0.9 million as part of settlement negotiations with the buyer, each of which are reported in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**NOTE 4 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS**

During 2024 and 2025, we engaged in a strategy and developed a formalized plan to divest certain non-core businesses to reduce our debt, improve our balance sheet and increase liquidity. As of December 31, 2025, we have divested our BWRS, SPIG, GMAB, Vølund, Diamond Power, ASH and Solar businesses as part of this plan. The Company has completed this strategic initiative and no additional divestitures are planned at this time.

Results of operations of the divested subsidiaries are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and the notes to the financial statement have been adjusted on a retrospective basis. Our divestitures are described further in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table summarizes the operating results of the disposal groups included in discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

**NOTE 5 – SEGMENT REPORTING** 

Our operations are assessed as one reportable segment, B&W, as revised in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to a strategic shift in our business, including the divestiture of certain non-core assets as described in Note 3. This segment presentation has been applied retrospectively to all periods presented.

The Company's CODM is the chief executive officer and chairman of the Board of Directors. The CODM assesses performance on a consolidated basis, using the segment's Loss from continuing operations as its profitability metric. The CODM considers budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis when making decisions about our operating and capital resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total assets.

**NOTE 6 – REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONTRACTS** 

***Revenue Recognition***

We generate the vast majority of our revenues from the supply of, and aftermarket services for, steam-generating, environmental and auxiliary equipment.

A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and is recognized as revenue when (point in time) or as (over time) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time, which primarily relates to customized, engineered solutions and construction services, accounted for more than 90% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time, which includes certain aftermarket parts and services, accounted for less than 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Refer to Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further disaggregation of revenue.

***Base Electron Agreement***

Effective February 26, 2026, we entered into a written definitive agreement with Base Electron, an IPP backed by Applied Digital, to complete the design and installation of four 300-megawatt natural gas-fired power plants. The total consideration

------

in exchange for completion of this project is $2.4 billion, of which $2.0 billion is for variable charges and the remaining is a fixed fee. The variable charges are based on reimbursable costs incurred plus mark-up. The plant is targeted to begin commercial operation in 2029.

Revenue for this project is recognized over time as we satisfy our performance obligation. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we have recognized $31.0 million of revenue related to this contract.

***Backlog***

At March 31, 2026 we had $2.7 billion of remaining performance obligations, which we also refer to as total backlog. We expect to recognize approximately 21%, 22% and 57% of the remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2026, 2027 and thereafter, respectively.

**NOTE 13 – DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES**

***Senior Notes Due 2026***

The components of our Senior Notes due 2026 are as follows:

<sup>(1)</sup> The 6.50% Senior Notes mature in December 2026 and is included in Current senior notes in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 the 6.50% Senior Notes bear an effective interest rate of 7.9%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased $15.0 million of our 6.50% Senior Notes.

***Senior Notes Due 2030***

The components of our Senior Notes due 2030 are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **8.75%** <sup>(1)</sup> | **8.75%** <sup>(1)</sup> |
| (in thousands) | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |

| Unamortized premium | 25356 | 27364 |
| Net debt balance | $149269 | $150970 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> The 8.75% Senior Notes mature in June 2030 and is included in Senior Notes due 2030 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 the 8.75% Senior Notes bear an effective interest rate of 5.3%.

In May 2025, we completed privately negotiated exchange transactions (the "Exchanges") in which we issued $100.7 million aggregate principal amount of newly-issued 8.75% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2030 as consideration for $84.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.125% Senior Notes and $47.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.50% Senior Notes. As a result of the Company's financial situation as a going concern entity at the time of refinancing, and the fact the creditors had granted concessions, the Exchanges were accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. Therefore, the Company recognized the difference between the face value of the original Senior Notes due 2026 and the face value of the 8.75% Senior Notes as debt premium, which is amortized using the effective interest method over the 5-year term through May 2030.

***Credit Agreement with Axos***

We entered into the Credit Agreement in January 2024, with certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Axos, as administrative agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer.

The Credit Agreement provides for an up to $150.0 million asset-based Credit Facility, including a $100.0 million letter of credit sublimit. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. B. Riley originally provided a guaranty of payment with regard to our obligations under the Credit Agreement; however, this guaranty is no longer in place due to the Tenth Amendment as further described below. We used and expect to use the proceeds and letter of credit availability under the Credit Agreement to (i) provide for working capital needs, (ii) provide cash collateral to secure letters of credit to be issued under the Credit Agreement and (iii) provide for general corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of January 18, 2028 as amended by the Tenth Amendment. The interest rates applicable under the Credit Agreement are: (i) with respect to SOFR Loans, (a) SOFR plus 5.25% if the outstanding principal amount of loans is equal to or less than $100.0 million or (b) SOFR plus 4.00% if the outstanding principal amount of loans is

------

greater than $100.0 million; (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 2.00% plus the Applicable Margin, (b) the prime rate as designated by Axos plus the Applicable Margin and (c) Daily Simple SOFR plus 1.00% plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) with respect to the default rate under the Credit Agreement, the then-existing interest rate plus 2.00%.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, we are required to pay (i) a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum multiplied by the positive difference by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Revolvings Outstanding (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to adjustment, (ii) a facility fee equal to the Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans multiplied by the positive difference by which the actual daily amount of L/C Obligations the Administrative Agent is then holding Specified Cash Collateral exceeds the actual daily Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, and (iii) a collateral monitoring fee of $1,000 per month. We are permitted to prepay all or any portion of the loans under the Credit Agreement prior to maturity, subject to the payment of an early termination fee. The Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments under certain circumstances, including in the event of an overadvance.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets of B&W and each of the guarantors, in each case subject to intercreditor arrangements. The Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and conditions that are customarily required for similar financings. The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, including a quarterly fixed charge coverage test, a quarterly total net leverage ratio test, a cash repatriation covenant, a minimum liquidity covenant, an annual cap on maintenance capital expenditures and a limit on unrestricted cash.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (subject, in certain instances, to specified grace periods) including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal under the Credit Agreement, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the Credit Agreement, defaults in respect of certain other indebtedness, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, Axos may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement may become due and payable immediately. At March 31, 2026, after giving consideration to the Amendments to the Credit Agreement, we are in compliance with all financial and other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

The key terms of the Credit Agreement described above reflect the various amendments completed since the original Credit Agreement was entered into and reflect changes in the Company's capital structure, borrowing base, collateral requirements and financial covenant levels. These amendments addressed, among other items, (i) authorization of specified asset dispositions, (ii) adjustments to borrowing base components, including increases in inventory valuation percentages and changes to PBGC reserve requirements, (iii) temporary and permanent modifications to minimum liquidity thresholds, (iv) deferral or modification of certain covenant ratios, (v) add-backs related to discontinued operations and capital expenditures for covenant calculations and (vi) updates to maturity provisions tied to the refinancing or repayment of other outstanding debt instruments.

On February 25, 2026, the Company with certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, B. Riley, and the lenders party to the Credit Agreement with Axos, as administrative agent, entered into the Tenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Tenth Amendment, Axos and the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement consented to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the amounts available to be borrowed based on inventory and receivables in the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement; (ii) extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to January 18, 2028; (iii) suspend the PBGC Reserve (provided that the PBGC Reserve shall be re-imposed in the amount of $3.0 million on January 1, 2027 unless the Company has provided evidence to Axos that the $3.0 million installment due to the PBGC on or prior to September 15, 2026 has been paid); (iv) modify the covenants relating to deposit account control agreements and institutions to allow for certain holdings in foreign currencies; and (v) release B. Riley as a specified guarantor thereunder.

At March 31, 2026, we had a total of $37.9 million outstanding on the Credit Agreement, all of which is drawn on the letter of credit portion of the agreement. At March 31, 2026, cash collateralizing the letters of credit totaling $37.9 million is classified as Current and Long-term restricted cash included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

A summary of usage of letters of credit under domestic facilities is as follows:

| Backstopped letters of credit | $5096 | $7194 |
| Surety backstopped letters of credit | 2017 | 16452 |
| Letters of credit subject to currency revaluation | 24550 | 27105 |

***Other Letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds***

Certain of our subsidiaries, that are primarily outside of the United States, have credit arrangements with various commercial banks and other financial institutions for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees in association with contracting activity.

We have posted surety bonds to support contractual obligations to customers relating to certain contracts. We utilize bonding facilities to support such obligations, but the issuance of bonds under those facilities is typically at the surety's discretion. These bonds generally indemnify customers should we fail to perform our obligations under our applicable contracts. We, and certain of our subsidiaries, have jointly executed general agreements of indemnity in favor of surety underwriters relating to surety bonds the underwriters issue in support of some of our contracting activity.

The following table provides a summary of outstanding letters of credit issued outside of the domestic facilities and outstanding surety bonds:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| (in thousands) | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| Letters of credit under non-domestic facilities | $5204 | $6545 |
| Surety Bonds | 255689 | 253407 |

---

Our ability to obtain and maintain sufficient capacity under our current debt facilities is essential to allow us to support the issuance of letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds. Without sufficient capacity, our ability to support contract security requirements in the future will be diminished.

***Other Loans Payable***

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had loans payable of approximately $8.4 million, net of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million, related to sale-leaseback financing transactions.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had loans payable of $5.0 million owed to the State of West Virginia relating to our BrightLoop<sup>™</sup> project. The loan will be forgiven in full when certain employment and capital expenditure milestones are met during the course of project.

**NOTE 14 – CAPITAL STOCK**

***Preferred Stock***

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our Board of Directors approved dividends totaling $3.7 million to holders of the Preferred Stock. There were no cumulative undeclared dividends of the Preferred Stock at March 31, 2026, and all declared dividends have been paid as of March 31, 2026.

***Common Stock***

In April 2024, we entered into the Sales Agreement with the Agents, in connection with an at-the-market offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 3.3 million shares were sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, for net proceeds of $5.2 million.

In November 2025, we entered into the 2025 Sales Agreement with the 2025 Agents, in connection with the offer and sale from time to time by us of shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million through the 2025 Agents. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, 3.9 million shares have been sold pursuant to the 2025 Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $34.1 million.

***Applied Digital/Base Electron Agreements***

In November 2025, we entered into a limited notice to proceed ("LNTP") with Applied Digital for a project to design and install four 300-megawatt natural gas-fired power plants consisting of boilers and associated steam turbines to deliver power for an AI factory. Effective February 26, 2026, we entered into a definitive written agreement in relation to the project with Base Electron, an IPP backed by Applied Digital. The total consideration in exchange for completion of this project is $2.4 billion, of which $2.0 billion is for variable charges and the remaining is a fixed fee. The variable charges are based on reimbursable costs incurred plus mark-up. The plant is targeted to begin operation in 2029.

In connection with the entry into the LNTP, we issued to Applied Digital, in a private placement, (i) 0.5 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share for a purchase price of $2.0 million and (ii) a warrant (the "Initial Warrant") exercisable to purchase 2.6 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.11, subject to registration rights.

------

The LNTP also granted to Applied Digital an additional warrant (the "Additional Warrant") to purchase up to 7.86 million shares of our common stock, on the same terms as the Initial Warrant. As a result of the signing of the agreement with Base Electron, the Additional Warrant to purchase up to 7.86 million shares of our common stock is fully vested on the same terms as the Initial Warrant.

Effective March 18, 2026, we entered into a Partial Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Applied Digital and Base Electron under which Applied Digital assigned 5.23 million shares of stock under the Initial Warrant and Additional Warrant (collectively the "Warrants") to Base Electron.

The Warrants are classified as liability-based awards which require calculation of fair value for each reporting period until settled or expired. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we calculated the fair value of the Initial Warrant at $35.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and as of March 31, 2026, we calculated the fair value of the Additional Warrant at $107.3 million, each of which are recorded in Customer warrants on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase in the fair value of the Warrants during the quarter was primarily driven by an increase in the Company's stock price. As a result, we recorded expense of $70.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 in Change in fair value of customer warrants in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Since the Warrants were issued as part of the Base Electron project, a corresponding asset was calculated as of the grant date of each warrant and is amortized over the life of the agreement with Base Electron. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the asset balances were $71.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and recorded in Customer contract asset current and noncurrent in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, amortization expense of $1.1 million was recognized as a reduction to Revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of the Warrants granted as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.10% | 3.84% |
| Expected volatility | 107.5% | 105.0% |
| Exercise price | $4.11 | $4.11 |
| Remaining term of warrant | 6.6 years | 7 years |

---

The fair value of the Warrants is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, including expected volatility. In making these assumptions, we based risk-free rates on the corresponding U.S. Treasury spot rates for the remaining duration of the grant, which we convert to a continuously compounded rate. We based estimated volatility on the historical returns of our stock price and selected guideline companies over the remaining term of the grant.

**NOTE 16 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION**

***Stock options***

There were no stock options awarded during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, nominal shares were outstanding and exercisable, each with a weighted average exercise price of $41.70 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 1.7 years. As of December 31, 2025, nominal outstanding and exercisable shares had a weighted average exercise price of $63.57 and $63.55, respectively, and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 1.7 years.

***Restricted stock units (RSUs)***

Non-vested restricted stock units activity for the year ended March 31, 2026 is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| (in thousands, except per share amounts) | **Number of shares** | **Weighted-average grant date fair value** |
| Non-vested at beginning of period | 2001 | $1.31 |
| Granted | 688 | 11.01 |
| Vested | (585) | 11.95 |
| Non-vested at end of period | 2104 | 1.53 |

---

As of March 31, 2026, total compensation expense not yet recognized related to non-vested restricted stock units was $2.3 million and the weighted-average period in which the expense is expected to be recognized is 2.1 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, compensation expense related to the RSUs was $6.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

***Restricted stock units with market conditions***

In July 2022, we granted market-based RSUs to certain members of management that vest if our closing stock price on the NYSE is equal to or higher than the stock price goal of $12.00 per share. The grant date fair value per market-based RSU was $6.70 and determined using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. On March 5, 2026, our stock price closed at $13.29 per share which triggered the vesting of 0.5 million shares. There was no compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

------

***Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)***

The Company has outstanding cash-settled SARs held by two employees. The SARs may be exercised during specified periods when the Company's stock price exceeds the applicable share price goal. The liability method is used to recognize the accrued compensation expense with cumulatively adjusted revaluations to the then current fair value at each reporting date through final settlement. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we calculated the fair value of the SARs at $6.5 million and nominal, respectively. The SARs are recorded in Accrued employee benefits and Other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The change in fair value of the SARs liability for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $6.4 million and is recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The increase in the fair value of the SARs during the quarter was primarily driven by an increase in the Company's stock price.

We used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of the SARs granted as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.80% | 3.70% |
| Expected volatility | 120% | 80% |
| Expected life in years | 2.72 | 3.25 |
| Suboptimal exercise factor | 2.0x | 2.0x |

---

The fair value of the SARs is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, including expected volatility. In making these assumptions, we based estimated volatility on the historical returns of our stock price and selected guideline companies. We based risk-free rates on the corresponding U.S. Treasury spot rates for the expected duration at the date of grant, which we convert to a continuously compounded rate. We relied upon a suboptimal exercise factor, representing the ratio of the base price to the stock price at the time of exercise, to account for potential early exercise prior to the expiration of the contractual term. With consideration to the executive level of the SARs holders, a suboptimal exercise multiple of 2.0x was selected. Subject to vesting conditions, should the stock price achieve a value of 2.0x above the base price, we assume the holders will exercise prior to the expiration of the contractual term of the SARs. The expected term for the SARs is an output of the valuation model in estimating the time period that the SARs are expected to remain unexercised. The valuation model assumes the holders will exercise their SARs prior to the expiration of the contractual term of the SARs.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the SARs are fully vested and their total intrinsic value is zero.

**NOTE 17 – INCOME TAXES**

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Income tax expense from continuing operations was $4.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (5.5)%. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Income tax expense from continuing operations was $1.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (14.0)%.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is impacted by the mix of profitable foreign operations and losses in the U.S., certain foreign entities having a tax rate higher than the U.S. statutory rate, valuation allowances against certain net deferred tax assets and unfavorable discrete items.

We are subject to federal income tax in the United States and numerous countries that have statutory tax rates different than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%. We provide for income taxes based on the tax laws and rates in the jurisdictions where we conduct operations. These jurisdictions may have regimes of taxation that vary in both nominal rates and the basis on which these rates are applied. Our consolidated effective income tax rate can vary from period to period due to these foreign income tax rate variations, changes in the jurisdictional mix of our income, and valuation allowances.

**NOTE 19 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

The accounting guidance established by ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures*, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (known as "Level 1") and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (known as "Level 3"). Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2.

The following tables summarize financial assets carried at fair value, all of which were valued from readily available prices (Level 1).

***Securities***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Level 1** | **Level 1** |
| (in thousands) | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| Corporate notes and bonds | $4885 | $5334 |
| United States Government and agency securities | 1905 | 1806 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total fair value of securities | $6790 | $7140 |

---

Investments in securities are presented as $6.1 million in Other current assets and $0.7 million in Other assets as of March 31, 2026 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with contractual maturities ranging from 0 to 2 years.

***Senior Notes due 2026***

See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our Senior Notes due 2026. The fair value of the Senior Notes due 2026 is based on readily available quoted market prices (known as "Level 1") as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **6.50% Senior Notes ("BWNB")** | **6.50% Senior Notes ("BWNB")** |
| (in thousands) | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| Carrying value | $69793 | $84792 |
| Estimated fair value | 70072 | 83435 |

---

***Senior Notes due 2030***

The fair value of the Senior Notes due 2030 is based on present value of future cash flows discounted at estimated borrowing rates for similar debt instruments or on estimated prices based on current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms (known as "Level 2") as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **8.75% Senior Notes** | **8.75% Senior Notes** |
| (in thousands) | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| Carrying value | $129473 | $129473 |
| Estimated fair value | 130216 | 127359 |

---

***Other Financial Instruments***

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value amounts for other financial instruments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents*. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to their highly liquid nature and are classified as Level 1.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Revolving Debt*. We base the fair value of debt instruments on quoted market prices. Where quoted prices are not available, we base the fair value on Level 2 inputs such as the present value of future cash flows discounted at estimated borrowing rates for similar debt instruments or on estimated prices based on current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms. The fair value of Revolving Debt was calculated at $36.4 million, which is $1.4 million less than its carrying amount at March 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Applied Digital Warrants*. These liability-based awards are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. For further information, see Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Stock Appreciation Rights.* These instruments are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. For further information, see Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

**NOTE 20 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** 

***Transactions with B. Riley***

Based on Schedule 13D filings with the SEC, B. Riley beneficially owns approximately 20% of our outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2026. B. Riley currently has the right to nominate one member of our Board of Directors pursuant to the investor rights agreement we entered into with B. Riley in April 2019. The investor rights agreement also provides pre-emptive rights to B. Riley with respect to certain future issuances of our equity securities.

As described in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in connection with our entry into the Credit Agreement in January 2024, we entered into a guaranty agreement and related fee and reimbursement agreement with B. Riley, pursuant to which B. Riley guaranteed our obligations under the Credit Agreement in exchange for an annual fee of approximately $3.0 million. In June 2025, the B. Riley Guaranty, as well as the associated B. Riley Guaranty fees, were suspended until January 1, 2027 and in February 2026, the guaranty and fee agreement were cancelled. See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

As described in Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in April 2024 and November 2025, we entered into sales agreements with B. Riley, among others, in connection with the offer and sale from time to time of shares of our common stock. B. Riley is entitled to compensation equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of the shares sold through it as the designated Agent.

In the first quarter of 2026, we entered into an agreement with B. Riley to provide financial advisory services to the Company. Under this agreement, B. Riley will be paid a cash fee equal to 3.0% of the total financing value of any qualified debt transaction that is consummated. As of March 31, 2026, we have an accrual balance of $5.0 million related to this agreement and these costs will be amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement.

**NOTE 21 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND STANDARDS**

The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

***New accounting standards to be adopted***

We consider the applicability and impact of all issued ASUs. Certain recently issued ASUs were assessed and determined to not be applicable. New accounting standards not yet adopted that could affect the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the future are summarized as follows:

In October 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-06, *Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative* ("ASU 2023-06"). The new guidance is intended to align GAAP and SEC requirements while facilitating the application of GAAP for all entities. The effective date of ASU 2023-06 depends on (1) whether an entity is already subject to the SEC's current disclosure requirements and (2) whether and, if so, when the SEC removed related requirements from its regulations. For entities that are already subject to the SEC's current disclosure requirements, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If the SEC has not removed the related requirements from its regulations by June 30, 2027, the amendments made by ASU 2023-06 will be

------

removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. The impact of this standard on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is contingent upon future transactions.

In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses* ("ASU 2024-03")*.* The new guidance is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring all public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. Further, in January 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-01, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date* ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2025-01 is clarifying the effective dates outlined in ASU 2024-03 which is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-10, *Government Grants: Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities* ("ASU 2025-10"). The new guidance is intended to help business entities in determining how to recognize, measure and present these grants. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

**NOTE 22 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

***Buybacks of Senior Notes***

We repurchased $1.9 million of our 6.50% Senior Notes from April 1, 2026 through April 30, 2026.

***Sales of Common Stock***

We sold 0.5 million shares of our common stock pursuant to the 2025 Sales Agreement, described in Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, from April 1, 2026 through April 30, 2026 for net proceeds of $7.8 million.

***Three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 Consolidated Results***

Revenues increased by $65.8 million to $214.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $148.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in large project volume, including $31.0 million from Base Electron. This improvement is primarily due to the increasing need for electricity from fossil fuels driven by the demand from AI, data centers and expanding economies.

Costs of operations increased by $50.1 million to $171.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $120.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by the increased revenue as described above as well as the product mix of higher large-project volume which carries higher costs needed to complete certain projects.

SG&A expenses increased by $16.1 million to $44.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $28.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in share price of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which resulted in the increase in stock-based compensation expense for grants to senior members of management, including an increase in the valuation of stock appreciation rights

Research and development costs increased by $0.5 million to $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by BrightLoop<sup>™</sup> investment.

Impairment of long-lived assets decreased by $1.0 million in 2026. The decrease relates to an impairment recognized in 2025 relating to a reduction in our real estate footprint.

(Gain) loss on asset disposals, net increased to a gain in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a loss in the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to small disposals in 2026.

------

Operating loss decreased by $0.2 million to $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is a result of the cost increases previously noted.

Loss from continuing operations increased by $64.0 million to $79.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $15.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by a non-cash change in fair value of customer warrants of $70.2 million and an increase in income tax expense of $2.2 million, partially offset by a reduction in interest expense of $6.6 million.

|  | 1685 | 1289 |
| Total interest expense | $4448 | $11042 |

---

The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is primarily the result of the paydown of the Senior Notes Due 2026 in the second half of 2025 and in the first quarter of 2026, and the accretion of the gain on exchange of a portion of the Senior Notes Due 2026 into the Senior Notes due 2030.

***Change in Fair Value of Customer Warrants***

The increase in customer warrant fair value expense of $70.2 million is a result of the change in fair value of customer warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily driven by an increase in the Company's stock price since the grant dates of the warrants.

***Income Taxes***

Deferred tax assets are evaluated each period to determine whether realization is more likely than not. Valuation allowances are established when management determines it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets

------

will not be realized. Valuation allowances may be removed in the future if sufficient positive evidence exists to outweigh the negative evidence under the framework of ASC 740, *Income Taxes* ("ASC 740").

Our effective tax rate for the first three months of 2026 is not reflective of the U.S. statutory rate, which was impacted by the mix of profitable foreign operations and losses in the U.S., certain foreign entities having a tax rate higher than the U.S. statutory rate, valuation allowances against certain net deferred tax assets and unfavorable discrete items. In certain jurisdictions where we anticipate a loss for the year or incur a loss for the year-to-date period for which a tax benefit cannot be realized in accordance with ASC 740, we exclude the loss in that jurisdiction from the overall computation of the estimated annual effective tax rate.

**Bookings and Backlog**

Bookings and backlog are our measures of remaining performance obligations under our sales contracts. We believe these metrics provide investors, lenders and other users of our financial statements with a leading indicator of future revenues. It is possible that our methodology for determining bookings and backlog may not be comparable to methods used by other companies.

We generally include expected revenue from contracts in our backlog when we receive written confirmation from our customers authorizing the performance of work and committing our customers to pay for work performed. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results, and contracts in our backlog may be canceled, modified or otherwise altered by customers. Backlog can vary significantly from period to period, particularly when large new-build conversion projects or operations and maintenance contracts are booked because they may be fulfilled over multiple years. Because we operate globally, our backlog is also affected by changes in foreign currencies each period.

Bookings represent changes to the backlog. Bookings include additions related to new business or increases in project scope, subtractions due to customer cancellations or reductions in project scope, changes in estimates that affect selling price and revaluation of backlog denominated in foreign currency. We believe comparing bookings on a quarterly basis or for periods less than one year is less meaningful than for longer periods, and that shorter-term changes in bookings may not necessarily indicate a material trend.

Total bookings as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| (in millions) | **2026** | **2027** | **Thereafter** | **Total** |
| B&W | $570.3 | $603.6 | $1554.9 | $2728.8 |

---

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In addition to Loss from continuing operations, we use non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial position and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

------

The following discussion of our business segment results of operations includes a discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA focuses on the earnings generated from core business operations, without considering the effects of financing, accounting decisions or tax. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differ from the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Loss from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is included below. Management believes that this financial measure is useful to investors because it excludes certain expenses, allowing investors to more easily compare our financial performance period to period. When viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, we believe the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial position and results of operations than GAAP measures alone.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted for items such as gains or losses arising from the sale of non-income producing assets, net pension benefits, stock-based compensation, restructuring activities, impairments, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, legal and settlement costs, costs related to financial consulting and amortization and valuation of customer warrants. Additionally, the Company redefined its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the effects of certain items including interest on letters of credit included in Cost of operations and product development costs. Prior period results have been revised to conform with the revised definition and present separate reconciling items in our reconciliation.

**Impairment of long-lived assets**

Impairment of long-lived assets refers to when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the fair value or recoverable amount.

**Benefit plans, net**

We recognize pension and other postretirement benefit income or expense based on actuarial calculations. The net impact depends on the relationship between the expected return on plan assets and the cost of providing benefits. Benefit costs are relatively low because our plans are frozen, meaning employees are no longer earning additional benefits.

------

Reported pension results may vary due to mark-to-market adjustments, which reflect changes in interest rates, asset performance, or one-time events such as plan settlements or curtailments. These adjustments are driven by market conditions and actuarial assumptions as of the date of the event. Because mark-to-market impacts are inherently volatile and often event-driven, any gain or loss recognized in a given period should not be considered indicative of future pension income or expense.

Refer to Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our pension and other postretirement plans.

**(Gain) loss on asset disposals, net**

We, at times, will sell or dispose of certain assets that are unrelated to our current or future operations. Therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude these gains and losses from our non-GAAP financial measures in order to highlight the performance of the continuing business.

**Stock-based compensation**

The grant date fair value of stock-based compensation varies based on the derived stock price at the time of grant, valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and reward types. This may make the impact of this form of compensation on our current financial results difficult to compare to previous and future periods. Therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP financial measures in order to highlight the performance of the business and to be consistent with the way many investors evaluate our performance and compare our operating results to peer companies.

**Restructuring activities**

Restructuring activities and business services transition actions across our business units and corporate functions primarily consist of severance and related costs associated with non-recurring actions taken to transform our operations with impacts on employees and facilities used in our businesses. Business services transition costs relate to new technology implementation, expected to provide future benefit and are included in Cost of operations and SG&A expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**Loss on debt extinguishment**

Losses on debt extinguishment were due to the exit costs associated with our repurchase of outstanding Senior Notes due 2026.

**Settlements and related legal costs**

Settlements and related legal costs relate to expenses associated with resolving legal disputes, whether through negotiated settlements or court judgments.

**Foreign exchange**

Foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily related to settlement of transactions denominated in a currency different than the functional currency of the Company. We report foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management excludes these expenses from Adjusted EBITDA as they do not reflect the ordinary course of business and are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount.

**Financial advisory services**

Financial advisory services relate to financial and business planning and other professional services.

**Customer warrant amortization**

Customer warrants amortized over the life of the associated agreement and recorded as a reduction to Revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management excludes the reduction to revenue from Adjusted EBITDA as they are a non-cash transaction and do not reflect the ordinary course of business.

------

Refer to Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our Customer warrant amortization.

**Change in fair value of customer warrants**

Change in fair value of customer warrants is recognized as a gain or loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management excludes the expense from Adjusted EBITDA as they are a non-cash transaction and do not reflect the ordinary course of business.

Refer to Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our Change in fair value of customer warrants.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

***Liquidity***

Our primary liquidity requirements include debt service, funding dividends on Preferred Stock and working capital needs. We fund our liquidity requirements primarily through cash generated from operations, external sources of financing, including our Credit Agreement, senior notes, and equity offerings, and our Preferred Stock, each of which are described below and in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report in further detail. We believe that our current operating plan and borrowings available under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our foreseeable liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements, including for at least the next twelve months. We may elect to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt financing to fund business activities such as strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital needs or other purposes beyond the next twelve months. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all, and may also be impacted by any disruptions in the financial markets. In addition, our existing indebtedness could limit its ability to obtain additional financing.

***Cash and Cash Flows***

The following discussion on our cash flows is inclusive of continued and discontinued operations, consistent with our presentation on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with GAAP.

At March 31, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $194.8 million, and we had total debt of $275.9 million, of which $25.4 million is unamortized premium. We also had $191.7 million of gross Preferred Stock outstanding. Our foreign business locations held $12.8 million of our total cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026. In general, our foreign cash balances are not available to fund our U.S. operations unless the funds are repatriated or used to repay intercompany loans made from the U.S. to foreign entities, which could expose us to taxes we have not made a provision for in our results of operations. We have no plans to repatriate these funds to the U.S. We had $37.9 million of restricted cash as of March 31, 2026 related to collateral for certain letters of credit as part of funding for several ongoing projects.

Cash flows provided by operating activities was $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which is primarily attributable to our current net loss of $76.9 million being offset by non-cash expenses arising from a change in fair value of customer warrants of $70.2 million, stock-based compensation of $13.2 million, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets of $2.5 million and amortization of customer warrants of $1.1 million. Cash flows provided by operating activities also included movements in certain operating assets and liabilities such increases in accounts payable of $39.6 million and accrued and other current liabilities of $5.6 million, resulting from the timing of payments to vendors. Partially offsetting these inflows were outflows from accounts receivable – trade, net of $8.0 million, contracts in progress of $18.0 million and advanced billings on contracts of $5.5 million which are primarily impacted by timing differences related to progress made on ongoing projects, billings, and collections, increased operating costs as a result of increased revenue, and may fluctuate significantly period to period.

Cash flows used in operating activities was $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which is primarily attributed to the current net loss of $22.0 million, partially offset by non-cash adjustments arising from the impairment of long-lived assets of $8.8 million, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets of $2.5 million, deferred financing fees of $1.5 million and operating lease expenses of $1.7 million. Cash flows used in operating activities also included movements in certain operating assets and liabilities such as accounts receivable - trade, net of $14.3 million, advance billings on contracts

------

of $7.5 million and pension liabilities, accrued postretirement benefits and employee benefits of $3.6 million, which are primarily impacted by collections, timing differences related to billings and contributions made to the plan. These were partially offset by cash flow increases from accounts payable of $19.6 million and contracts in progress of $11.0 million which are primarily impacted by timing of payments to vendors and timing differences related to progress on ongoing projects.

Cash flows used in investing activities was $3.5 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily due to capital expenditures associated with BrightLoop<sup>™</sup> projects. 2026 is partially offset by proceeds from sale of business of $3.6 million.

Cash flows used in financing activities was $20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to payments on the Axos Credit Agreement of $29.1 million, buybacks of Senior Notes due 2026 of $15.0 million, employee tax withholding on stock-based compensation of $6.2 million and Preferred Stock dividend payment of $3.7 million, partially offset by the issuance of common stock of $34.1 million. Cash flows used in financing activities was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the payment of the Preferred Stock dividends of $3.7 million and net payments on the Axos Credit Agreement of $1.4 million, partially offset by the issuance of common stock of $5.2 million.

***Debt and Credit Facility***

Information related to our debt and Credit Facility is described in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and is incorporated herein by reference.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES** 

For a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, see "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no significant changes to our policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

Our exposure to market risks has not changed materially from those disclosed under "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

*Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act.

Based on this evaluation and because of the previously-reported material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026.

Notwithstanding the conclusion by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026 were not effective, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.

*Remediation Plan and Status*

------

As of March 31, 2026, the material weaknesses previously disclosed have not yet been remediated. In response to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, management has initiated remediation efforts, which includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• hired and are continuing to hire professionals with the appropriate skills to perform control activities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continuing to augment our internal resources by employing several consultants with deep experience in key areas and we plan to continue to utilize these resources until we add personnel to our staff mentioned above;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developing and providing incremental training to the accounting and financial reporting team;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• designing and implementing additional and/or enhanced controls in the areas of account reconciliations, contract accounting, financial statement analysis prepared in conformity with GAAP and manual journal entries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enhancing controls over segregation of duties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• with the guidance and participation of our internal audit function, we have a monitoring program to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• evaluate and assess whether controls are present and functioning in a timely manner; and,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• hold individuals accountable for their internal control responsibilities.

We will continue to work toward full remediation of the material weaknesses to improve our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the new and redesigned controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the material weaknesses.

*Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

*Inherent Limitations in Effectiveness of Controls*

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures, or our internal controls, will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error, mistake or fraud. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by individuals or groups of persons or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements in our public reports due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

**PART II**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 as there have been no material changes and no new litigation to disclose as of March 31, 2026.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. The discussion of such risks and uncertainties may be found under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

------

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**

Not applicable.

**Item 5. Other Information**

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

If the Common Stock is not so listed or traded, "Trading Day" means a Business Day. Section 1. Exercisability. The Holder's right to exercise this Warrant with respect to the Warrant Shares is subject to limitations on exercisability as follows: (a) This Warrant and the Holder's rights hereunder with respect to the Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment or otherwise to the restrictions as set forth in this Warrant, including, without limitation, Section 2(d) and Section 3) is exercisable from and after the Issue Date through and including the Termination Date. (b) The Holder's right to receive the Warrant Shares, and the Company's obligation to issue such Warrant Shares, upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(d)(i). Section 2. Exercise. (a) Subject to Section 1, exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant with respect to Warrant Shares may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Issue Date (subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) hereof) and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly completed and executed copy of a notice of exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a "Notice of Exercise"). The "Exercise Date" shall be the date on which such delivery shall have taken place (or be deemed to have taken place) unless a later date is specified in the Notice of Exercise. Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise, at its option, (i) by Cashless Exercise (as defined and as set forth in Section 2(f)), (ii) by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank (any such exercise, a "Cash Exercise"), or (iii) any combination of Cash Exercise and Cashless Exercise as set forth in Section 2(f); provided, however, in the event that the Holder has not delivered such aggregate Exercise Price within two (2) Trading Days following the date of such exercise as aforesaid, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver such Warrant Shares hereunder until such payment is made. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and to the extent a physical copy is issued to the Holder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation promptly after the relevant event shall have occurred. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases and the Holder may request that a new Warrant be issued to it representing the amount of Warrant Shares not purchased

------

![](bw-appliedxformofwarrant004.jpg)

4 and the Company shall promptly comply with such request. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within two (2) Trading Days of receipt of such notice. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. (b) Exercise Price. The "Exercise Price" per Warrant Share shall be $4.11, subject to any adjustment required by Section 3. (c) Mechanics of Exercise. (i) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Upon each exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Trading Days after delivery of the applicable Notice of Exercise (subject to the cash settlement provisions of Section 2(g) and delivery by the Holder to the Company of the aggregate Exercise Price payable pursuant to Section 2(b) or pursuant to the Cashless Exercise provisions of Section 2(f)), instruct the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent") to record the issuance of the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to the Holder in book-entry form pursuant to the Transfer Agent's regular procedures. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the later of the Exercise Date and the date on which payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(c)(iv) prior to the issuance of such shares, has been made. (ii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to issue or cause to have issued the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) or does not issue Warrant Shares as a result of the limitations in Section 1(b) or Section 2(d) within two (2) Trading Days after delivery of the applicable Notice of Exercise, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in its sole discretion. The right of rescission of the Holder under this Section 2(c)(ii) is subject to delivery by the Holder of the aggregate Exercise Price payable pursuant to Section 2(b) or Section 2(f). (iii) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value. (iv) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue, transfer, stamp or other similar tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares or a new Warrant to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or governmental charge, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or governmental charge has been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall pay all fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all other expenses of the Company and its registrar(s) and transfer agent(s) in connection with delivery of the Warrant Shares and replacement warrants. All payments in respect of this Warrant shall be subject to applicable withholding in respect of taxes. Where withholding in respect of taxes is imposed with respect to this Warrant, including in respect of an actual or deemed (for federal withholding tax purposes) payment in respect of this Warrant, the Holder shall promptly transfer to the

------

![](bw-appliedxformofwarrant005.jpg)

5 Company the amount required to be withheld; provided that prior to any such payments the Company shall be required to demonstrate the basis for, and calculation of, such withholding and reasonably cooperate with Holder to reduce or eliminate any withholding tax to the extent permitted by applicable tax law. (v) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof. (vi) Sale of Stock by the Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering of the Common Stock (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise) or in connection with a tender or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock of the Company, such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. (d) Holder's Exercise Limitations. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and, no Holder shall have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, any Holder (together with any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder, including any "group" of which any Holder is or may be deemed a member (collectively, the "Attribution Parties")) would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of calculating the Maximum Percentage, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties and which would be in excess of the Maximum Percentage and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Attribution Parties subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 2(d)(i). In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and its Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder's and its Attribution Parties' aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the applicable Maximum Percentage (the "Excess Shares") shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the Exercise Price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company by any Holder, the Maximum Percentage may be increased or decreased with respect to such Holder to any other percentage as specified in such notice; provided, that (i) any such increase or decrease in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and its Attribution Parties requesting such increase or decrease and not to any other Holder of this Warrant. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by any Attribution Party for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the

------

![](bw-appliedxformofwarrant006.jpg)

6 applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. (ii) Except as set forth in the exclusions to calculating beneficial ownership in Sections 2(d)(i)(A) and (B), for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Maximum Percentage, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercises of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Maximum Percentage. The Company shall have the sole right to enforce the provisions of Section 2(d)(i). If the Company receives a Notice of Exercise from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Shares Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Notice of Exercise would otherwise cause the Holder's beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to Section 2(d)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the "Reduction Shares") and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. The provisions of this Section 2(d) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation or the application of the rules of the Principal Trading Market. (e) Warrant Shares Cap. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and, no Holder shall have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that such exercise would result in the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issued under this Warrant, together with the Shares (as defined in the Letter Agreement), the Warrant Shares issued with the exercise of the Additional Warrant (as defined in the Letter Agreement) and the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that would reasonably be expected to be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Warrant under the applicable rules of the Principal Trading Market, as determined by the Company in good faith and in consultation with the staff of the New York Stock Exchange, to exceed 11,098,899 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares Cap"), which Warrant Shares Cap shall be adjusted for any split, subdivision, combination or reclassification of Common Stock, and in such case, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be reduced or increased to the number of shares equal to the Warrant Shares Cap (for purposes of this calculation, rounded down to the nearest whole share).

------

![](bw-appliedxformofwarrant007.jpg)

7 (f) Cashless Exercise. In lieu of Cash Exercise, the Holder may elect to exercise the purchase rights represented by this Warrant by authorizing the Company to withhold and not issue to the Holder, in payment of the Exercise Price thereof, a number of such Warrant Shares equal to (x) the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is being exercised, multiplied by (y) the Exercise Price, and divided by (z) the Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date (any such exercise, a "Cashless Exercise"); and such withheld Warrant Shares shall no longer be issuable under the Warrant, and the Holder shall not have any rights or be entitled to any payment with respect to such withheld Warrant Shares. In the event of a Change of Control in which the Common Stock is converted into solely the right to receive cash upon closing of such Change of Control, if this Warrant has not previously been exercised in full on an Exercise Date occurring before the third Trading Day prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, any unexercised portion of this Warrant shall be deemed exercised in full, without the delivery of a Notice of Exercise, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and the Holder shall be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the amount of cash payable in such Change of Control in respect of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares that would be deliverable upon an exercise of this Warrant in full immediately prior to consummation of such Change of Control pursuant to this Section 2(f) of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, where Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock in such an exercise is deemed for these purposes to be the cash payable in respect of a share of Common Stock in such Change of Control; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, if the cash payable in respect of a share of Common Stock in such Change of Control in which the Common Stock is converted into solely the right to receive cash upon closing of such Change of Control is less than the then-applicable Exercise Price, then upon consummation of such Change of Control the unexercised portion of this Warrant shall be cancelled for no consideration. (g) Cash Settlement. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, upon the exercise of this Warrant (either in full or in part, as applicable, and whether by Cash Exercise, Cashless Exercise or a combination thereof) by the Holder, in lieu of and in full satisfaction of its obligation to deliver any or all shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled (i) at the Company's election in its sole discretion (the "Cash Settlement Option") or (ii) in the event the Holder delivers a Notice of Exercise for a number of Warrant Shares that would result in the Holder exceeding the Warrant Shares Cap (the "Cash Settlement Requirement"), the Company will pay to the Holder cash (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) in an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being exercised (including, in the case of a Cashless Exercise, shares to be withheld as payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with Section 2(f), if any) that the Company, in the case of the Cash Settlement Option, elects to settle, or in the case of the Cash Settlement Requirement, is required to settle (e.g., in the case of the Cash Settlement Requirement, the number of Warrant Shares being exercised that exceed the Warrant Shares Cap), in cash in lieu of shares, multiplied by (B) the excess of (x) the Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date over (y) the Exercise Price (the "Cash Settlement Payment"). The Cash Settlement Option shall be exercisable by the Company by delivering written notice (email being sufficient) to the Holder no later than the second (2nd) Business Day following receipt of any Notice of Exercise. The Cash Settlement Payment shall be paid to the Holder no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which the Holder provides its instructions for delivery of the Cash Settlement Payment either in the form of wire transfer instructions to a U.S. banking institution and/or address for delivery of a check. In the event that the Holder has previously remitted payment of the Exercise Price for any Warrant Shares that the Company elects or is required to settle in cash in lieu of shares pursuant to this Section 2(g), the Cash Settlement Payment shall be increased, dollar for dollar, by the amount of such remitted payment. Upon receipt of the Cash Settlement Payment, the Company's obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock with respect to the portion of the Warrant Shares paid in cash pursuant to this Section 2(g) shall be deemed fully satisfied, and in the case of Cashless Exercise, the number of corresponding Warrant Shares by which this Warrant has been permanently reduced in connection with such Cashless Exercise and settled in cash as contemplated by this Section 2(g) shall continue to be so

------

8 reduced in accordance with Section 2(f), unaffected by the exercise of the Cash Settlement Option or effectuation of the Cash Settlement Requirement. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, from and after the date: (i) the Company delivers Notice of Exercise of the Cash Settlement Option pursuant to this Section 2(g) or (ii) the Holder delivers a Notice of Exercise for a number of Warrant Shares that would, but for the Warrant Shares being paid in cash pursuant to this Section 2(g), result in the Holder exceeding the Warrant Shares Cap, this Warrant shall be deemed exercised for all Warrant Shares set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise, except that the Holder shall not be deemed a shareholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock to be settled in cash pursuant to the Cash Settlement Option or the Cash Settlement Requirement. Section 3. Certain Adjustments. (a) Stock Dividends, Subdivision, Combinations and Consolidations. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (in whole or in part): (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock (or other class of Capital Stock of the Company then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock (or other class of Capital Stock of the Company then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines or consolidates (including, without limitation, by reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock (or other class of Capital Stock of the Company then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) into a smaller number of shares, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price immediately before the applicable corporate action by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and thereafter the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or consolidation. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (in whole or in part) distributes rights on shares of its Common Stock (or other class of Capital Stock of the Company then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) in connection with a shareholder rights plan, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 3 and any such rights shall accompany the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to this Warrant if such shareholder rights plan remains in effect. (b) Reclassifications, Reorganizations, Consolidations, Mergers and Sales. In the event of (i) any capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) any reclassification or recapitalization of the stock of the Company (other than (x) a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or (y) as a result of a stock dividend, subdivision, combination or consolidation of shares as to which Section 3(a) shall apply), (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock or any other class of Capital Stock then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), (iv) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (v) any similar transaction, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and, after such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property ("Alternate Consideration") of the Company or of the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or sale, or surviving such merger, if any, to which the holder of the number of Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant (at the time of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, and subject to the limitations set forth in

9 Section 1 and Section 2) would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction. In such event, the aggregate Exercise Price otherwise payable for the shares of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be allocated among the Alternative Consideration receivable as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, in proportion to the respective fair market values of such Alternate Consideration. If and to the extent that the holders of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, then the consideration that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise shall be specified by the Holder, which specification shall be made by the Holder by the later of (A) ten (10) Business Days after the Holder is provided with a final version of all material information concerning such choice as is provided to the holders of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock), and (B) the last time at which the holders of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) are permitted to make their specifications known to the Company; provided, however, that if the Holder fails to make any specification within such time period, the Holder's choice shall be deemed to be whatever choice is made by a plurality of all holders of Common Stock (or such other class of Capital Stock) that are not affiliated with the Company (or, in the case of a consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, any other party thereto) and affirmatively make an election (or of all such holders if none of them makes an election). From and after any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, all references to "Warrant Shares" herein shall be deemed to refer to the Alternate Consideration to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 3(b). The provisions of this clause shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations, consolidations, mergers or sales. (c) Other Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) other than any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 3(a) or Section 3(b) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that such participation by the Holder in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then, at such time, the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such later time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant. (d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock (or such other Company security as is then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (or such other Company security) (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding on such date.

(b) If at any time following the filing of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement when the Company is required to re-evaluate its Form S-3 eligibility or WKSI status, the Company determines that it is not eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or is not a WKSI, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) as promptly as possible but in no event more than thirty (30) Business Days after such determination: (A) if the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, post-effectively amend the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to a Resale Shelf Registration Statement that is not automatically effective or file a new Resale Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3, or (B) if the Company is not eligible at such time to file a Resale Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3, post-effectively amend the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to a Resale Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1 or file a new Resale Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1; (ii) have such post-effective amendment or Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable; and (iii) keep such Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Effectiveness Period. (c) [Reserved]. (d) The Company will give notice of its intention to file any Registration Statement to the Holders at least five (5) Business Days prior to the intended filing date of such Registration Statement. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a "Selling Holder Questionnaire") at least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement. If a Holder does not provide all such information the Company may reasonably request (a "Non-Complying Holder"), that Holder will not be named as a selling securityholder in the Prospectus and will not be permitted to sell its securities under such Registration Statement. From and after the effective date of such Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, as promptly as is practicable after a Non-Complying Holder delivers the information required pursuant to the previous two sentences, (i) if required by applicable law, to file with the Commission a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement; and, if the Company shall file a post- effective amendment to such Registration Statement, use reasonable best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable; or (ii) to prepare and, if permitted or required by applicable law, to file a supplement to the related Prospectus or an amendment or supplement to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that the Non-Complying Holder is named as a selling securityholder in such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, and so that such Holder is permitted to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law; provided, that the Company shall not be required to file more than one post-effective amendment under this clause (b) in any calendar quarter. 3. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder: (a) The Company shall not file a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in which the "Selling Stockholders" section thereof materially differs from the disclosure received from a Holder in its Selling Holder Questionnaire (as amended or supplemented). The Company shall not file a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in which it (i) characterizes any Holder as an underwriter, unless such characterization is consistent with written information provided by the Holder in the Selling Holder Questionnaire or unless required by the Commission in order for the Registration Statement to become or remain effective, (ii) excludes a particular Holder due to such Holder refusing to be named as an underwriter, unless so required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission or (iii) reduces the number of Registrable Securities being registered on behalf of a Holder without such Holder's express written authorization. The Company shall also ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. (b) Subject to an Allowed Grace Period (as defined below), the Company shall (i) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously

(c) The Company shall notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; and (B) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post- effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. (d) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose. (e) The Company shall promptly deliver to the Holders, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto. (f) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, the Company shall register or qualify such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of all jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder may reasonably request in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements; provided, however, in connection with any such registration or qualification, the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where the Company would not otherwise be required to qualify, (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction or (iv) make any change to the Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws.

Such book-entry securities or certificates, as applicable, shall be free, to the extent permitted by applicable federal

(h) As promptly as reasonably possible upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(iv), the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. (i) For so long as the Registrable Securities that have been registered under a Registration Statement remain Registrable Securities, the Company shall notify the Holders thereof in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such event (and in any event within two (2) Business Days), as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and shall, subject to an Allowed Grace Period, promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission. The Company shall also notify the Holders of Registrable Securities that have been registered under a Registration Statement in writing as promptly as reasonably possible (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment relating to such Registrable Securities has become effective. (j) [Reserved]. (k) Other than the information regarding a Holder provided by such Holder to the Company for inclusion in a Registration Statement, the Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning a Holder provided to the Company unless: (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws; (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement; (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction; or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, to the extent legally permitted to do so or not requested by a governmental body to refrain from doing so, give prompt written notice to such Holder and allow such Holder, at the Holder's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information. (l) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each Trading Market on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such Trading Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(l). (m) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates or book-entry securities (not bearing any restrictive legend to the extent permitted by the federal securities laws) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates or book-entry securities to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Holders may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Holders may request. (n) If requested by a Holder and to the extent legally required for the Holder to offer and sell Registrable Securities, the Company shall as soon as practicable, subject to an Allowed Grace Period: (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as a Holder reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with

7 respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by a Holder holding any Registrable Securities. (o) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the advice of Company counsel, for a period (an "Allowed Grace Period") of not more than thirty (30) consecutive days or for a total of not more than forty- five (45) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may defer the filing, initial effectiveness or suspend the continued use of any Registration Statement or Prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such deferral or suspension is necessary to (i) delay the disclosure of material nonpublic information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (ii) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the Company shall promptly (A) notify the Holder in writing of the commencement (and the termination) of an Allowed Grace Period, but shall not (without the prior written consent of the Holder) disclose to the Holder any material nonpublic information giving rise to an Allowed Grace Period, (B) advise the Holder in writing to cease all sales under such Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Grace Period and (C) use its reasonable best efforts to terminate an Allowed Grace Period as promptly as practicable. (p) Subject to receipt from a Holder by the Company and the Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, including, if required by the Transfer Agent, an opinion of the Company's counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of any restrictive legends in such circumstances as may be effected under the Securities Act, the Company shall remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants within a reasonable time, and in no event later than two (2)Business Days, following the earliest of such time as the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants (i) are subject to an effective Registration Statement, (ii) have been or are about to be sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or (iii) may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including, without limitation, any volume, information and manner of sale restrictions. If restrictive legends are no longer required for the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 and reasonably promptly, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days, following any request therefor from a Holder accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions, any authorizations, certificates, opinions or other directions required by the Transfer Agent which authorize and direct the Transfer Agent to transfer Registrable Securities without legend upon request by such Holder holding such Registrable Securities. The Company shall be solely responsible for the fees of the Transfer Agent associated with such issuance. 4. Block Trades. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, at any time and from time to time, if a Holder wishes to engage in a non-marketed unregistered offering not involving a "roadshow," an offer commonly known as a "block trade" (a "Block Trade"), with respect to the Registrable Securities, then the Company agrees to reasonably assist such Holder (a) at the request of Holder, by meeting with potential investors and (b) without incurring cost or exposing the Company to liability, taking such other actions, as may be reasonably requested by such Holder. 5.

All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement.

In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any Trading Market as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions incurred by any Holder or any legal fees or other cost of the Holders. 6. Indemnification. (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, investment advisors, partners, members and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), arising out of or based upon any violation by the Company of the Securities Act relating to any required action or inaction by the Company, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 8. (b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose). In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any

9 Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party, in its discretion, has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided, that, the Indemnifying Party shall pay for no more than two separate sets of counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement (i) imposes no liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party, (ii) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (iii) does not include any admission of fault, capability, wrongdoing or malfeasance by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 6(c)) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. (d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 6(d) was available to such party in accordance with its terms. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities

10 subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. 7. Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Holders to sell Registrable Securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees, for so long as Registrable Securities are outstanding and held by the Holders, to: (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood, defined and required in Rule 144, at all times during the Effectiveness Period; (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company is and remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and (c) furnish to each Holder so long as such Holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon reasonable request in writing by such Holder, such information as may be reasonably and customarily requested to permit the Holders to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. 8. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investor to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor's Warrants or Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within five (5) Business Days after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within five (5) Business Days after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is, if applicable, restricted under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws; and (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein. 9. Miscellaneous. (a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. (b) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. (c) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c), 3(i) or 3(o), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under any Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

Scope of Work; Specifications; Technical Contact. 2.1 Pursuant and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Contractor shall provide the Work as set forth in the Specifications. Contractor will furnish only that Equipment expressly included in the Specifications. The dimensions, drawings, typical illustrations, weights, materials, and details of construction included within the Specifications, while representing information available as of the Effective Date, may vary from that set forth during the development of the final design under the Agreement. 2.2 Owner hereby fully authorizes, and Contractor hereby agrees, to commence the Work promptly upon execution of this Agreement. In this regard, Contractor and Owner acknowledge that the engineering and procurement for all four (4) Units will be performed together, subject to modifications as required by the terms of this Agreement, and the installation and construction of each Unit will scheduled as necessary to achieve the applicable completion dates. [\*\*\*] Contractor requires Owner's prior written consent before making a material change to any Specifications. 2.3 Contractor shall designate and maintain one or more individuals to serve as its primary point of contact for day-to-day communications, consultation, and decision-making regarding the Work (each, a "Technical Contact"). The Technical Contact(s) shall be the sole contact(s) between Contractor and Owner in connection with day-to-day matters relating to the provision of Work and be responsible for communicating with and providing timely and accurate information and feedback to Owner. 3. Proprietary Information. 3.1 At all times prior to, during, and after performance of the Agreement, each Party shall maintain the confidentiality of any information obtained from the other Party or any of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, customers, and contractors, regardless of whether such information has been marked as "confidential" upon disclosure ("Proprietary Information"). Each Party understands and agrees that Proprietary Information incorporates knowledge and special techniques, among other things, in the arts and sciences which were developed, acquired or accumulated by a Party at its own time and expense.

Page 3 General Conditions 3.5 Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 33 (Governing Law; Disputes), either party is entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or stop any threatened or actual violation of this Article 3 (Proprietary Information). If Proprietary Information is sought pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, the affected Party will promptly notify the other Party and shall give the other Party the opportunity to contest such subpoena or other legal process. The obligations of confidentiality in this Article 3 shall survive for five (5) years following expiration or termination, except for trade secrets which shall survive so long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law, and such obligations of confidentiality are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any separate confidentiality agreement entered into by the Parties. 4. Drawings. 4.1 Owner shall furnish Contractor with all information, instrumentation, and drawings that Contractor may require for execution of the Work. Contractor shall furnish Owner the general arrangement drawings as are necessary for the Work, including, without limitation, as-built drawings, start-up commissioning procedures, operating procedures and other materials reasonably needed for Owner to own and operate the Units ("Work Information").

Price and Payment. 5.1 Contractor's compensation for the performance of the Work (the "Compensation") is comprised of: 5.1.1 charges for Work performed on the basis of rates stated in Exhibit D ("Rate-Based Charges"), plus 5.1.2 the costs incurred by Contractor in performing the Work set forth in Exhibit E ("Reimbursable Costs"), plus 5.1.3 a markup (a) on all Rate-Based Charges in the amount set forth in Exhibit D, and (b) on all Reimbursable Costs in the amount set forth in Exhibit E, in each case unless another markup is expressly set forth in this Agreement (the "Markup", and together with the Rate-Based Charges and the Reimbursable Costs, the "Variable Charges"), plus 5.1.4 a fixed fee in the amount of $434,806,756, as may be adjusted in accordance with the General Conditions ("Fixed Fee") as compensation for aspects of the Work described in Exhibit F. 5.2 "Contract Price" means, at any given time, the total aggregate amount payable by Owner to Contractor for the full performance of the Work under this Agreement, consisting of (a) all Variable Charges, (b) the Fixed Fee, and (c) any other amounts payable under this Agreement, as adjusted by approved Change Orders. Contractor will exercise commercial reasonable efforts to manage the performance of Work such that the Contract Price for the full performance of the Work will not exceed $2,400,000,000.

![](baseelectron-bwdesignxbu007.jpg)

Page 4 General Conditions 5.3 The Parties may agree on a case-by-case basis for certain aspects of the Work to be performed on a fixed-price basis. No such agreement is effective unless memorialized as an amendment to this Agreement signed by the Parties, and either Party may, in its sole discretion, decline to enter into any such agreement. Unless otherwise set forth in such amendment, any amounts payable on a fixed-price basis will be considered part of the Fixed Fee. 5.4 [\*\*\*] Contractor may issue an invoice each month for its reasonable, good-faith estimate of the Variable Charges associated with Work performed up through and including the preceding month (the "Variable Charge Estimate"). The invoice shall also detail the actual Variable Charges associated with the immediately preceding Variable Charge Estimate, and difference between the actual Variable Charges and the Variable Charge Estimate (a) if positive, will be added as a positive adjustment Contractor's invoice, or (b) if negative, will be subtracted as a negative adjustment to Contractor's invoice. If the invoice, as adjusted, is for a negative amount, such amount shall be carried over as a credit against the Contractor's next invoice. If Contractor's final invoice is for a negative amount, such amount will be refunded to Owner within [\*\*\*] after the date of such invoice. Contractor may issue invoices for the Fixed Fee according to the Fixed Fee Payment Schedule set forth as Exhibit G. 5.5 Owner shall pay invoiced amounts that are due and owing within [\*\*\*] from the receipt of an invoice by Owner. Contractor will submit a waiver of liens with each invoice conditioned upon receipt of payment. 5.6 Where a payment milestone is achieved upon shipment of Equipment, any such milestone is defined as the date of Contractor is ready to ship on that date or if shipment is delayed because of an Owner-caused delay, any such milestone is defined as the date Contractor would have been ready to ship but for such delay. 5.7 The Parties acknowledge that a certain Limited Notice to Proceed to was entered into and effective as of November 4, 2025 (the "LNTP") under which certain preliminary activities were performed in exchange for compensation all as set forth therein. (as defined in the LNTP). The Parties understand an agree that all work performed under the LNTP is considered part of the Work and is deemed to have been performed under and are subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement supersedes and replaces the LNTP in its entirety. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties further agree that the compensation paid to Contractor under the LNTP shall be credited toward the Fixed Fee payable to Contractor under this Agreement as provided in Exhibit H. 5.8 The amounts payable by Owner are exclusive of collection charges. All late payments, including disputed payments resolved in Contractor's favor, will bear interest at the lesser of the rate of [\*\*\*] or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. [\*\*\*] In the event of a termination or suspension by Contractor under this Section 5.8, the rights and responsibilities of the Parties will be the same as if Owner terminated or suspended Contractor's performance of the Work for Owner's convenience. 5.9 Owner shall notify Contractor in writing of a dispute with any line items on or portions of an invoice (along with a reasonably detailed description of the dispute) within [\*\*\*] after the

------

![](baseelectron-bwdesignxbu008.jpg)

Page 5 General Conditions Owner's receipt of such invoice, provided that Owner may only do so in good faith. Invoices for which no such timely notification is received shall be deemed accepted by the Buyer as true and correct, and the Buyer shall pay all amounts due under such invoices within the period set forth herein. The Parties shall seek to resolve all such disputes expeditiously and in good faith. [\*\*\*] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, but provided that Owner has satisfied its obligations with respect to the Contingent Payment, each Party shall continue performing its obligations under this Agreement during any such dispute, including, without limitation, payment by the Buyer of all undisputed amounts due and payable hereunder. 5.10 Upon request, and no more than annually, Owner, its lender associated with the Site, or their respective representatives (the "Auditing Party") may at their own expense audit and copy from Contractor's books, records, and other documents (including applicable supporting orders and invoices) that support in detail and by category the monthly fees and costs invoiced to Owner hereunder based on Rate-Based Charges and Reimbursable Costs. Owner agrees that any third-party representative must be mutually agreed upon to serve as an Auditing Party. If any audit hereunder reveals an overpayment by Owner of any amount due under this Agreement, then such overpayment shall be carried over as a credit against the Contractor's next invoice in the amount of the overpayment, as applicable. If there are no further invoices that will be issued or if the overpayment is more than the amount on remaining invoices, such overpayment will be refunded to Owner within forty-five (45) days. [\*\*\*] No portion of the Fixed Fee or other elements of the Compensation charged on a fixed price basis are subject to audit nor are the bases of any stated rates or the Markup. 5.11 Contractor shall monitor all costs and expenses hereunder and submit to Owner on a periodic basis a report on the status of the Work and the then-current total aggregate costs and fees associated with the Compensation, together with such additional reports as Owner may reasonably require. 6. Schedule and Delay Liquidated Damages. 6.1 Contractor shall commence and proceed to perform the Work upon execution of the Agreement and shall perform and complete the work in accordance with the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Schedule"). 6.2 "Commercial Operation Readiness" or "COR" means the Work for the relevant Unit is complete such that the Unit can be safely operated for the purpose of generating electricity. 6.3 Contractor guarantees that it shall cause a Unit to achieve COR by the guaranteed date for COR for such Unit set forth in the Schedule (the "Guaranteed COR Date"). Should a Unit fail to achieve COR by the Guaranteed COR Date for reasons attributable to Contractor and after giving effect to extensions of time herein provided, if any, then, in that event and in view of the difficulty of estimating with exactness damages caused by such delay, Owner may deduct from and retain out of the Fixed Fee such moneys which may be then due, or which may become due and payable to Contractor, [\*\*\*] for each day that COR is delayed beyond the Guaranteed COR Date, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (the "Delay LDs"); provided however, that no Delay LDs are due if COR is achieved within thirty (30) days after the

------

![](baseelectron-bwdesignxbu009.jpg)

Page 6 General Conditions Guaranteed COR Date. If the amount of Compensation due and to become due from Owner to Contractor is insufficient to pay in full any such Delay LDs, Contractor shall pay to Owner the amount of Delay LDs necessary to effect such payment in full within forty-five (45) days. 6.4 Delay LDs are not due and payable if Owner would not have been able to generate revenue as of the Guaranteed COR Date due to Owner's failure to complete any activities identified in this Agreement as the responsibility of Owner. 6.5 Contractor's maximum, aggregate liability for the payment of Delay LDs for each Unit will in no event exceed [\*\*\*]. Payment of Delay LDs constitutes the sole and exclusive liability of Contractor, and the sole and exclusive damages recoverable by Owner for delays by Contractor in the performance of the Work; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to delays arising from Contractor's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or abandonment of the Work. 7. Performance Guarantees. 7.1 The only Performance Guarantees made by Contractor in this Agreement are those set forth in Exhibit J and are subject to all the conditions and testing requirements set forth therein ("Performance Guarantees"). All other performance data, descriptions or data sheets furnished herein or provided to Owner are predictions set forth only for Owner's information and convenience and will not be construed as guarantees of performance or obligations of Contractor. 7.2 Achievement of the Performance Tests will be determined according to the formal guarantee testing set forth in Exhibit J ("Performance Tests"). Prior to the Performance Tests, and within thirty (30) days after COR, Owner shall make the Equipment available to Contractor for preliminary testing and tuning. Upon Contractor's completion of preliminary testing and tuning, Contractor shall notify Owner that the Equipment is ready for the Performance Tests. Owner shall then commence or allow commencement of Performance Tests within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice. If the Performance Tests are to be conducted by Owner, then Owner shall thereafter give Contractor at least fifteen (15) days' notice of the date or dates on which the Performance Tests will occur. 7.3 If the Equipment does not satisfy a Performance Guarantee for which the remedy is identified as corrective action or words of similar effect (a "Make-Right Guarantee") as a result of defects or deficiencies in the Work or the Equipment or for causes otherwise attributable to the Contractor, or if Contractor has informed Owner prior to conducting or completion of a Performance Test that the Equipment will not achieve a Make-Right Guarantee, Contractor shall promptly and at its sole cost and expense and in such fashion as to avoid unreasonable disruption to Owner's operations, make such changes, modifications, repairs, replacements and/or additions to the Equipment or any part thereof necessary to correct the failure, and any relevant Performance Test will be repeated. The foregoing process will be repeated until the Make-Right Guarantee is achieved. The rights and obligations of the Parties associated with such corrective action will be the same as if such corrective action were made under the Equipment warranty provided elsewhere herein, and Owner shall provide Contractor with

------

![](baseelectron-bwdesignxbu010.jpg)

Page 7 General Conditions reasonable access to the Equipment and adequate working space to make whatever corrections or adjustments Contractor may deem necessary. 7.4 If the Equipment does not satisfy a Performance Guarantee for which the remedy is identified as payment of liquidated damages ("LD Guarantee") as a result of defects or deficiencies in the Equipment or the Work or for causes otherwise attributable to the Contractor, or if Contractor has informed Owner prior to conducting the Performance Tests that the Equipment will not achieve an LD Guarantee, Contractor shall pay Owner liquidated damages as set forth in Exhibit J ("Performance LDs"). 7.5 The Parties agree that it would be difficult, if not impossible to precisely determine Owner's damages in the event the Equipment fails to satisfy the LD Guarantees and that such Performance LDs are a reasonable pre-estimate of the actual damages Owner would sustain and not a penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor may, at Contractor's option and prior to payment of any Performance LDs, elect to make or attempt to make such changes, modifications, repairs, replacements and/or additions to the Equipment or any part thereof as Contractor deems necessary to correct the failure, and any relevant Performance Test will be repeated. The foregoing process will be repeated until Contractor elects not to pursue further corrective measures. The rights and obligations of the Parties associated with such corrective action will be the same as if such corrective action were made under the Equipment warranty provided elsewhere herein, and Owner shall provide Contractor with unobstructed access to the Equipment and adequate working space to make whatever corrections or adjustments Contractor may deem necessary. Contractor's liability for Performance LDs will be determined based on the latest result of the applicable Performance Test. 7.6 Contractor's maximum, aggregate liability associated with failure to achieve the Performance Guarantees will in no event exceed [\*\*\*]. Owner agrees that corrective action and/or the payment of liquidated damages set forth above constitutes the sole and exclusive liability of Contractor and the sole exclusive remedy of Owner for failure of the Equipment to meet Performance Guarantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on remedies in this Section 7.6 are without prejudice to Contractor's warranty obligations under Article 11. 7.7 The Equipment will be considered as accepted and all Performance Guarantees will be deemed fully achieved after Performance Tests show that the Performance Guarantees have been fulfilled. If the preliminary testing, tuning, or the Performance Tests are not conducted within the time periods specified herein or, in any event, within [\*\*\*] after delivery of the Equipment, then the Equipment shall be deemed to have achieved the Performance Guarantees and be considered accepted; provided, however, that no such deemed achievement or acceptance shall occur to the extent such preliminary testing, tuning or the Performance Tests were delayed or not performed due to Contractor-caused delay, design deficiencies, Equipment malfunction, Contractor's failure to achieve test readiness, or Contractor's failure to timely notify Owner that the Equipment was ready for testing; and provided further that deemed acceptance shall not apply where preliminary testing, tuning or the Performance Tests were delayed or not

Taxes. 8.1 The Compensation includes all federal, state, and local taxes levied on wages and salaries of employees payable directly by Contractor by law. The Compensation excludes any present or future federal, state, municipal or other sales or use tax with respect to the Equipment or Services, of any other present or future excise tax upon or measured by the gross receipts from this transaction or any allocated portion thereof or by the gross value of the Equipment or Services and of any present or future property tax or other similar charge with respect to the Equipment or Services. If Contractor is required by applicable law or regulation to pay or collect any such tax or taxes on account of this transaction or the Equipment or Services, then Owner shall pay such amount of tax as Reimbursable Costs; provided however, that no Markup is applicable to such taxes. 9. Shipping and Transportation. 9.1 Contractor is not responsible for any damage or delay resulting from Contractor's compliance with Owner's direction to utilize a specific carrier or route. Any present or future tariffs or duties levied by any governmental authority are Reimbursable Costs; provided however, that no Markup is applicable to such tariffs or duties. 9.2 Contractor shall pass through to Owner only the actual, verifiable amounts of any tariffs, duties, import or export fees, or similar governmental charges that are directly imposed on, and solely attributable to the Work hereunder (collectively, "Tariff Amounts"). 9.3 Contractor shall provide Owner with reasonable supporting documentation sufficient for Owner to verify the accuracy, legitimacy, and applicability of such Tariff Amounts, including, as applicable, copies of government-issued tariff schedules, official notices, customs entries, broker invoices, government assessments, receipts, and proof of payment. Such documentation shall clearly identify the specific Tariff Amounts charged, the governmental authority imposing

Force Majeure. 10.1 Contractor is not liable for any expense, loss damage or delay resulting from [\*\*\*] or from any other cause whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to those enumerated above, beyond the reasonable control of Contractor ("Force Majeure"). The Fixed Fee and Schedule will be adjusted to account for any impact to Contractor's costs through an Amendment executed by the Parties, Schedule or performance if the same are adversely affected by Force Majeure. [\*\*\*] Contractor shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the Force Majeure. 10.2 Should fabrication, field services, or shipment of Equipment be delayed or postponed due to Force Majeure, Contractor shall, if requested by Owner, arrange for storage of Equipment and shall protect the Equipment against damage from the elements or other causes. 10.3 Owner shall pay all reasonable and documented costs [\*\*\*], to Contractor on a monthly basis after commencement of the Force Majeure event for storage, maintenance, standby, de- mobilization and re-mobilization and all other reasonable, documented costs that Contractor incurs in connection with the Force Majeure event. 11. Warranty. 11.1 Contractor warrants that the Equipment is free from defects in workmanship and materials and that the Unit will not achieve availability materially below industry-standard levels for similar facilities due to design-related deficiencies. For each Unit, this warranty has effect for a period ending on [\*\*\*]. If the Equipment does not conform to the foregoing warranty, and provided that Owner promptly notifies Contractor within the warranty period, Contractor shall, at its option, modify, adjust, repair or replace (FCA place of manufacture) the nonconforming Equipment. Contractor shall, upon Owner's request and to the extent assignable, pass through to Owner all warranties from Equipment manufacturers, distributors and / or subcontractors. 11.2 The foregoing warranty does not cover the effects of normal wear and tear (including the normal effects of abrasion, erosion and corrosion), deterioration or abuse of the Equipment; or the effects of improper storage by Owner; or operation or maintenance not in accordance with Contractor's instructions, or other conditions of service specified herein. Contractor is not responsible for Equipment or parts furnished by others or repairs or work done by others unless the Equipment or parts are specifically ordered by Contractor. 11.3 If Contractor cannot or does not promptly commence and thereafter diligently pursue implementation of the remedy set forth in this Article 11 after written notice of such nonconformance is received by Contractor, then Owner, after written notice to Contractor, may have Contractor's obligations fulfilled by others, and Contractor shall reimburse Owner for the reasonable cost thereof.
