 Exhibit 10.6 
 TRADEMARK AND LICENSE SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 This TRADEMARK AND LICENSE SECURITY AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), dated as of December 22, 2008, is by and between GTC BIOTHERAPEUTICS, INC. (“Grantor”) and GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION (“Grantee”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, Grantor and Grantee entered into that certain Amended and Restated Master Security Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2006 (as amended as
of the date hereof and as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, Grantor and Grantee desire to amend the Security Agreement, and have entered or will enter into that certain Consent and Amendment No. 3 to Amended and Restated Master Security Agreement dated as of
December 22, 2008 (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement Amendment”); 
 WHEREAS, in order to induce Grantee to enter into the Security Agreement Amendment and to continue to make the loans and other credit accommodations as provided for in the Security Agreement, Grantor has agreed to
pledge the Trademark Collateral (as defined below) to Grantee in accordance herewith, in each case to secure the Indebtedness (as defined in the Security Agreement); and 
 WHEREAS, this Agreement is required by the terms of the Security Agreement Amendment. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of these premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Defined Terms. 
 (i) Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein which are defined in the Security Agreement shall have the meanings specified in the Security Agreement. 
 (ii) The words “hereof”, “herein”, and “hereunder” and words of like import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of
this Agreement, and Section and schedule references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. 
 (iii) All terms defined in this
Agreement in the singular shall have comparable meanings when used in the plural, and vice versa, unless otherwise specified. 
 (iv)
“Default” means the occurrence of either of the following events: (a) any default by Grantor under the terms of the Security Agreement or any other Debt Document; or (b) any Event of Default. 

 2. Security Interest in Trademarks. As security for prompt payment in full of all of the
Indebtedness, Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a second priority security interest, having priority over all other security interests (other than the security interest in favor of LFB (as defined below)) in all of Grantor’s now owned or
existing and hereafter acquired or arising (collectively, the “Trademark Collateral”): 
 (i) trademarks, registered
trademarks and trademark applications, trademark registrations, trade names, service marks, registered service marks, service mark applications, and service mark registrations (except for “intent-to-use” applications for trademark or
service mark registrations prior to the filing of an amendment alleging use or a verified statement of use), including, without limitation, the registered trademarks, trademark applications, registered service marks and service mark applications and
registrations listed on Schedule A, and (a) all renewals thereof, (b) all income, royalties, damages and payments now and hereafter due and/or payable with respect thereto, including, without limitation, payments under all
licenses entered into in connection therewith and damages and payments for past or future infringements or dilutions thereof, (c) the right to sue for past, present and future infringements and dilutions thereof, and (d) all of
Grantor’s rights corresponding thereto throughout the world (all of the foregoing registered trademarks, trademark applications, registered service marks and service mark applications, together with the items described in clauses
(a)-(d) in this paragraph 2(i), being sometimes hereinafter individually and/or collectively referred to, alone or in conjunction with non-U.S. Trademarks identified in Schedule C, as the “Trademarks”); 
 (ii) the goodwill of Grantor’s business connected with and symbolized by the Trademarks; 
 (iii) license agreements with any other party in connection with any Trademarks or such other party’s trademarks, registered trademarks, trademark
applications, trademark registrations, trade names, service marks, registered service marks, service mark applications and service mark registrations, whether Grantor is a licensor or licensee under any such license agreement, including, but not
limited to, the license agreements listed on Schedule B, and the right upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default to use the foregoing in connection with the enforcement of Grantee’s rights under the Security
Agreement (all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Licenses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, the Licenses shall not include any license agreement which by its
terms prohibits (which prohibition is enforceable under applicable law) the grant of the security interest contemplated by this Agreement for so long as such prohibition continues; it being understood that upon request of Grantee, Grantor
will in good faith use reasonable efforts to obtain consent for the creation of a security interest in favor of Grantee in Grantor’s rights under such license agreement (excluding any license of non-custom computer software); and 
 (iv) Non-U.S. Trademarks and Licenses, including, without limitation, those listed on Schedule C. 
 3. Restrictions on Future Agreements. Grantor will not, without Grantee’s prior written consent, enter into any agreement, including, without
limitation, any license agreement, which is inconsistent with this Agreement, and Grantor further agrees that it will not take any 

  

 - 2 - 

 
action, and will not permit any action to be taken by others subject to its control, including licensees, or fail to take any action, which would affect the
validity or enforcement of the rights transferred to Grantee, under this Agreement or any other Debt Document or the rights associated with those Trademarks which are necessary or desirable in the operation of Grantor’s business. 
 4. New Trademarks. Grantor represents and warrants that the Trademarks and Licenses listed on Schedules A, B and C,
respectively, include all of the trademark applications and registrations and Licenses to any Trademarks which Licenses are material to the operation of Grantor’s business (excluding any license of non-custom computer software) now owned or
held by Grantor. If, prior to the termination of this Agreement, Grantor shall (i) obtain rights to any new Trademark or Licenses or (ii) become entitled to the benefit of any new or existing Trademark or License, the provisions of
Section 2 shall automatically apply thereto, and Grantor shall give to Grantee prompt written notice thereof. Grantor hereby authorizes Grantee to modify this Agreement by (a) amending Schedules A, B or C, as the
case may be, to include any Trademarks or Licenses which are described under this Section 4, and (b) filing, in addition to and not in substitution for, this Agreement, a short form of this Agreement containing on
Schedules A, B or C thereto, as the case may be, such Trademarks or Licenses, as the case may be, which are described under this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor agrees that Grantee’s
security interest shall extend to all of the collateral listed in Section 2 and this Section 4, regardless of whether Grantee actually amends Schedules A, B or C, respectively. 
 5. Royalties. Grantor hereby agrees that the use by Grantee of the Trademarks and Licenses as authorized hereunder shall be coextensive with
Grantor’s rights thereunder and with respect thereto and without any liability for royalties or other related charges from Grantee to Grantor. 
 6. Nature and Continuation of Grantee’s Security Interest. This Agreement is made for collateral security purposes only. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Trademarks and the Licenses and shall
remain in full force and effect until the Indebtedness has been paid in full and the Security Agreement terminated, at such time the rights granted to Grantee hereunder shall also terminate. 
 7. Right to Inspect; Further Assignments and Security Interests. Grantee shall have the right, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Security Agreement, to inspect the premises of Grantor and to examine the books, records and operations of Grantor relating to the Trademarks. Grantor agrees not to sell or assign its respective interests in, or grant any license under (other than
granting any license in the ordinary course of business), the Trademarks without the prior written consent of Grantee. 
 8. Duties of
Grantor. Grantor shall have the duty to the extent desirable in the conduct of Grantor’s business and consistent with Grantor’s current business practices or Grantor’s reasonable business judgment: (i) to prosecute diligently
any trademark applications or registrations or service mark applications or registrations that are part of the Trademarks pending as of the date hereof or thereafter until the termination of this Agreement; (ii) to make applications for
trademarks and service marks as Grantor deems appropriate; (iii) to take reasonable steps to preserve and maintain all of Grantor’s rights in the trademark and service 

  

 - 3 - 

 
mark applications and trademark and service mark registrations that are part of the Trademarks; (iv) to take appropriate actions and to file certain
documents to prevent or to cure the abandonment, lapse, or cancellation of any application or registration of the Trademarks, or to prevent or to cure liability to any claim of abandonment for non-use or otherwise of the Trademarks, except as agreed
to by the parties; and (v) obtain any consents, waivers or agreements necessary to enable Grantee to exercise its remedies with respect to any and all Trademark Collateral. Any expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing shall be borne
by Grantor. Grantor shall not abandon any trademark or service mark which is the subject of a registration or application therefor and which is or shall be, in the Grantor’s reasonable business judgment necessary or economically desirable to
the operation of Grantor’s business. Grantor agrees to retain an experienced trademark attorney for the filing and prosecution of all such applications and other proceedings. Grantee shall have no duty with respect to the Trademarks and
Licenses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantee shall not be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Trademarks or Licenses against any other parties, but may do so at its option during the
continuance of a Default, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be for the sole account of Grantor and added to the Indebtedness secured thereby. 
 9. Grantee’s Right to Sue; Limited License. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Grantee shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, upon prior written notice to
Grantor, to bring suit to enforce the Trademarks and the Licenses, and, if Grantee shall commence any such suit, Grantor shall, at the request of Grantee, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents required by Grantee in aid
of such enforcement. Grantor shall, upon demand, promptly reimburse and indemnify Grantee for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Grantee in the exercise of its rights under this Section 9 (including,
without limitation, the allocated cost of in-house counsel). If, for any reason whatsoever, Grantee is not reimbursed with respect to the costs and expenses referred to in the preceding sentence, such costs and expenses shall be added to the
Indebtedness secured hereby. Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a license with respect to all Trademarks and Licenses owned or used by Grantor to the extent necessary to enable Grantee, effective upon the occurrence of any Default, to realize on the
Trademarks and Licenses and any successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of the Trademarks and Licenses. This license shall inure to the benefit of Grantee and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of
law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such license is granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever including, without limitation, any royalty or license fee, be made to
any Grantor or any other Person by Grantee or any other Person. 
 10. Waivers. No course of dealing between Grantor and Grantee, and
no failure to exercise or delay in exercising on the part of Grantee any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Security Agreement or other Debt Documents shall operate as a waiver of any of Grantee’s rights, powers or privileges. No
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Security Agreement or other Debt Documents shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 
 11. Grantee’s Exercise of Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, it is hereby expressly
agreed that upon the occurrence 

  

 - 4 - 

 
and during the continuance of a Default, Grantee may exercise any of the rights and remedies provided in this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Trademarks and Licenses comprise a portion of the Collateral and Grantee shall have the right to exercise its rights under the Security Agreement
with respect to the Trademarks and Licenses to the same extent as with respect to all other items of Collateral described therein, and (ii) from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, Grantee or its nominee may use
the Trademarks and Licenses to assemble, manufacture, sell, prepare for sale or take possession of the Collateral, or for any other purpose in connection with the conduct of Grantor’s business. Any proceeds of any of the Trademark Collateral
may be applied by the Grantee to the payment of expenses in connection with the enforcement of Grantee’s rights and remedies hereunder and in connection with the Trademark Collateral, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and legal expenses, and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by Grantee toward the payment of such of the Indebtedness, and in such order of application, as Grantee may from time to time elect (and, after payment in full of all
Indebtedness, any excess shall be delivered to Grantor or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct). 
 12. Severability. If
any provision hereof is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such provision’s severance.
Furthermore, in lieu of any such provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal and enforceable provision as similar in terms to the severed provision as may be possible. 
 13. Modification. This Agreement cannot be altered, amended or modified in any way, except as specifically provided in Sections 2 and 4
hereof or by a writing signed by the parties hereto. 
 14. Cumulative Remedies; Power of Attorney. All of Grantee’s rights and
remedies with respect to the Trademarks and the Licenses, whether established hereby, by any other agreements or by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Grantee as
Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or otherwise to carry out the acts described below. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Grantor hereby
authorizes Grantee to, in its sole discretion, (i) endorse Grantor’s name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary or desirable for Grantee in the use of the Trademarks and the Licenses, (ii) take any other
actions with respect to the Trademarks and the Licenses as Grantee deems is in its best interest, (iii) grant or issue any exclusive or non-exclusive license with respect to the Trademarks to anyone on commercially reasonable terms, and
(iv) assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Trademarks and the Licenses to anyone on commercially reasonable terms. Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 6 hereof. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is not intended to
limit or restrict in any way the rights and remedies of Grantee under the Security Agreement or other Debt Documents, but rather is intended to facilitate the exercise of such rights and remedies. Grantee shall have, in addition to all other rights
and remedies given it by the terms of this Agreement, all rights and remedies allowed by law and the rights and remedies 

  

 - 5 - 

 
of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction in which, respectively, either (x) the Trademarks may be located or
deemed located or (y) the Licenses were granted. 
 15. Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon Grantor
and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Grantee and its nominees, successors and assigns. The successors and assigns of Grantor shall include, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor-in-possession of or for
Grantor; provided, however, that Grantor shall not voluntarily assign its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Grantee. 
 16. CHOICE OF LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; SERVICE OF PROCESS. THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT. GRANTOR AND GRANTEE HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. IN NO
EVENT WILL GRANTEE BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR OTHER SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. 
 17. Notices. Except as otherwise
herein provided, any notice or other communication required hereunder shall be in writing (messages sent by e-mail or other electronic transmission (other than by telecopier) shall not constitute a writing, however any signature on a document or
other writing that is transmitted by e-mail or telecopier shall constitute a valid signature for purposes hereof), and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered when received by the recipient if hand delivered, sent by
commercial overnight courier or sent by facsimile, or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the United States mail, with proper first-class postage prepaid and addressed to the party at its address and/or facsimile number set forth in the
Security Agreement, or to such other address as either party shall specify to the other in writing from time to time. 
 18.
Section Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect in any way the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof. 
 19. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or electronic transmission shall also deliver a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement, but the failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. 
 20. Right of Recordal of Security Interest. Grantee shall have the right, but not the obligation, at the expense of Grantor, to record this Agreement in the United States Patent and 

  

 - 6 - 

 
Trademark Office and with such other United States or foreign recording authorities deemed reasonable and proper by Grantee. Grantee shall advise Grantor of
such recordals, and Grantor shall comply with all formalities and execute all documents deemed reasonable and proper by Grantee in connection therewith. Upon satisfaction in full of the Indebtedness and termination of the Security Agreement, Grantor
shall have the right to effect recordal of such satisfaction or termination at the expense of Grantor in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and with such other United States and foreign recording authorities deemed reasonable and proper
by Grantor, and Grantee shall comply with all formalities and execute all documents deemed reasonable and proper by Grantor in connection therewith. Grantee and Grantor shall cooperate to effect all such recordals hereunder. Grantor shall reimburse
Grantee for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, filing fees, translation fees, fees related to retention of local patent clerks and local attorneys) incurred by Grantee relating to such recordals within fifteen (15) days of
making such reimbursement request and providing documentation evidencing such expenses to Grantor. 
 21. Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interest granted to Grantee pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by Grantee hereunder are subject to the provisions of that certain Subordination
and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of December 22, 2008 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) by and among Grantor, Grantee and LFB Biotechnologies, a société anonyme established under the laws of France
(“LFB”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

not rendering (and during the preceding two-year period has not rendered) audit services to either ADA-ES or the ECP Parties or any of their respective Affiliates. If the parties are unable to agree on such Neutral Auditor, then the respective
accounting firms of ADA-ES and the ECP Parties shall choose the Neutral Auditor. All fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditor shall be borne equally by ADA-ES and the ECP Parties. The Neutral Auditor shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based

 10

ECP Party is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and is acquiring the portion of the ECP Membership Interest for investment solely for its own account and not with a view to

 11 

 3.6 Brokers, Etc. All negotiations relative to this Agreement, the Operative Agreements and the
Transactions have been carried out by the ECP Party without the intervention or assistance of any Person on behalf of the ECP Party that might give rise to any valid claim by any Person against the ECP Party or the ADA-ES Entities for a
finder’s fee, brokerage commission or similar payment.

 4.22 Brokers, Etc. Except for Liabilities arising out of or related to the Credit Suisse Letter, which shall be the sole and exclusive
responsibility of ADA-ES, (except the Debt Financing Fee) all negotiations relative to this Agreement, the Operative Agreements and the Transactions have been carried out by ADA-ES without the intervention or assistance of any Person on behalf of
ADA-ES that might give rise to any valid claim by any Person against ADA-ES, the ECP Parties or the AC Venture Companies for a finder’s fee, brokerage commission or similar payment. Except for the Debt Financing Fee assumed by the Development
Company on or after the Closing Date, neither the ECP Parties nor the AC Venture Companies will have any liability or otherwise suffer or incur any Loss as a result of, or in connection with, any finder’s fee, financial advisory fee, brokerage

 4.23 Accredited Investor. ADA-ES is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and is acquiring its membership interest in the Development
Company for investment solely for its own account and not with a view to or in connection with the distribution thereof. ADA-ES has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of its investment in the Development Company and its membership interest therein and has concluded that it is able to bear these risks and fully understands and acknowledges that its investment in the Development Company and its membership interest
therein is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk. ADA-ES further understands and agrees that its membership and other interests in the Development Company will be governed by, and subject to the restrictions, including
transfer restrictions set forth in the Operating Agreement and that, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Operating Agreement, the terms of the Operating Agreement will prevail.

information incorporated therein by reference, being referred to herein collectively as the “ADA-ES SEC Reports”). 
 (b) ADA-ES has timely made all filings and furnishings with the SEC required of ADA-ES pursuant to the Exchange Act during the 12 months preceding the date of this Agreement. As of their respective dates, the ADA-ES
SEC Reports were duly filed or furnished with the SEC and complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the
SEC and the NASDAQ Stock Market thereunder applicable to such ADA-ES SEC Reports. Except to the extent that information contained in any ADA-ES SEC Report filed or furnished with the SEC and made publicly available prior to the date of this
Agreement (a “Filed ADA-ES SEC Report”) has been revised or superseded by a later Filed ADA-ES SEC Report, as of their respective dates, none of the Filed ADA-ES SEC Reports contained any untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (c) The financial statements and the related notes thereto of ADA-ES and its consolidated subsidiaries included in the ADA-ES SEC Reports

 4.25 Absence of Certain Changes. Except as disclosed in a reasonably apparent manner in any ADA-ES
SEC Report filed or furnished with the SEC and made publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement, since December 31, 2007, no event has occurred or condition existed that could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or prevent ADA-ES from consummating the Transactions. 
 4.26 Accuracy of Statements and
Information. Neither this Agreement nor any schedule, exhibit, statement, list, document, certificate or other information furnished or to be furnished by or on behalf of ADA-ES to the ECP Parties or any representative or Affiliate of the ECP
Parties in connection with this Agreement or any of the Transactions contemplated hereby contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained
herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. 
 4.27 Regulatory Matters. The Red River
Project Company has self-certified as a qualifying “cogeneration facility” pursuant to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act and FERC’s implementing regulations thereunder, and such certification is in full force and effect. As a

Red River Project, no AC Venture Company is subject to regulation as a “public utility” under the Federal Power Act or FERC’s implementing regulations thereunder. The Red River Project Company is not subject to regulation as an
“electric public utility” under the laws of Louisiana, and no other AC Venture Company is subject to regulation as a “utility,” “public utility,” “electric company,” “gas company” or similar entity
under the laws of any state. Each of ADA-ES and the Development Company is each a “holding company” under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 and FERC’s implementing regulations thereunder solely as a result of its
ownership of the Red River Project Company. 
 4.28 Confidentiality Agreements. All confidentiality agreements between ADA-ES and
other Persons considering a potential investment in the Business (the “Confidentiality Agreements”) are in substantially the same form as that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2007, between
ADA-ES and Energy Capital Partners, LLC. Each Confidentiality Agreement contains a provision requiring each other Person party thereto to return or destroy all information provided pursuant thereto upon ADA-ES’s request and to certify such
return or destruction in writing. Neither ADA-ES nor, to ADA-ES’s Knowledge, any other party to any such Confidentiality Agreement is (or with notice or lapse of time of both, would be) in material violation, breach or default thereunder.

 9.2 Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under
Section 9.1 (Indemnification) will be asserted and resolved as follows: 
 (a) Third Party Claims. In the
event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under Section 9.1 (Indemnification) is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than an ECP
Indemnified Party or an ADA-ES Indemnified Party (“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the
failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying
Party will notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under Section 9.1 (Indemnification) and whether the Indemnifying
Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. 
 (i) If the
Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a), then the Indemnifying Party
will have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be
settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including (except
as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) any settlement thereof; provided, however, that (x) the Indemnifying Party’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (y) the Indemnifying Party
shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Party upon the Indemnified Party’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding and (z) the Indemnified Party may, at the
sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party’s delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this Section 9.2(a)(i), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any
other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party,
cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel to represent it in, but not control, any defense or settlement
of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.2(a)(i), and the Indemnified Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such separate counsel except as provided in the preceding
sentence and except that the Indemnifying Party will pay the costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (A) in the Indemnified Party’s good faith judgment, it is advisable, based on advice of counsel, for the Indemnified Party to be
represented by separate counsel because a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party which makes representation of both parties inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or
(B) the 

  

 35 

 
named parties to such Third Party Claim include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith,
based on advice of counsel, that defenses are available to it that are unavailable to the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may retain or take over the control of the defense or settlement of any Third Party
Claim the defense of which the Indemnified Party has elected to control if the Indemnified Party irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under Section 9.1 (Indemnification) with respect to such Third Party Claim. 
 (ii) The Indemnified Party will have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, by all appropriate
proceedings, which proceedings will be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party (i) any Third Party Claim with respect to any Existing Action or Proceeding and
(ii) any Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a), or for
which the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute diligently or settle such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any settlement thereof; provided,
however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the
Indemnified Party is contesting, or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person (other than the
Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2(a)(ii), except with respect to any Existing Action or Proceeding, if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party
within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in
clause (iii) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this Section 9.2(a)(ii) or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at
the Indemnified Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party will reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation. The Indemnifying
Party may retain separate counsel to represent it in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.2(a)(ii), and the Indemnifying Party will bear its own costs and expenses
with respect to such participation. 
 (iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute
its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under Section 9.1 (Indemnification) or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to
the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Loss arising from such Third Party Claim will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.1 (Indemnification) and the Indemnifying Party
shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand following the final determination thereof. 
  

 36 

 If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within the Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in a court of competent
jurisdiction. 
 (b) Claims Other Than Third Party Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under
Section 9.1 (Indemnification) against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver an Indemnity Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying
Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such
Indemnity Notice, the Loss arising from the claim specified in such Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.1 (Indemnification) and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of
such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand following the final determination thereof, and no later objection by the Indemnifying Party shall be permitted. If the Indemnifying Party agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but objects that
it is obligated to pay only a lesser amount, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Party the lesser amount, without prejudice to the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference. If the Indemnifying Party has timely
disputed all of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within the Resolution Period,
such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 9.3 Exclusive Remedy. Except (a) as set
forth in Section 11.8 (Specific Performance), (b) claims for fraud or deceit, (c) any circumstances giving rise to a Party’s right to terminate this Agreement, and (d) any rights or remedies provided in each of the
other Operative Documents (including, without limitation, the Operating Agreement), the indemnification provisions of Article IX (Indemnification) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of each Party (including Indemnified Parties) for any
breach of any Party’s representations, warranties covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims
and causes of action it or any of its Affiliates may have against another Party hereunder or under applicable law with respect to the claims described in Sections 9.2(a) (Method of Asserting Claims) and (b) (Same) above.

permitted by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the ECP Parties and ADA-ES will obtain the other Parties’ prior written approval of any press release or public announcement concerning the Transactions to be issued from and after the date of
this Agreement and through the dates immediately following Closing; provided, however, that upon Closing, the Parties agree to disclose the mutual investment in the Development Company by ADA-ES and the ECP Parties by issuing a joint

however, that following Closing the foregoing restrictions will not apply to the AC Venture Companies’ use of documents and information concerning the Business and the ADA-ES Contributed Assets or the Underlying Assets or any disclosure
permitted by the Operating Agreement. 
 11.6 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party
that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of
this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise
afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative. 
  

 50 

 11.7 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written
instrument duly executed by or on behalf of each of the Parties. 
 11.8 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement, excluding breaches of the Parties’ representation and warranties
contained in Articles III (Representations and Warranties of the ECP Parties) and IV (Representations and Warranties of ADA-ES) (which breaches may be remedied through operation of the indemnification provisions of Article IX
(Indemnification)), are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the
provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter in
addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. 
 11.9 No Third Party Beneficiary. The terms and
provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each Party hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the Parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person
other than any Person entitled to indemnity under Section 1.7 (Excluded Liabilities) and Article IX (Indemnification). 
 11.10 No Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by any Party hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto and any attempt to do so will
be void, except (i) for assignments and transfers by operation of Law and (ii) a Party may assign any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to a wholly-owned subsidiary, provided that any such subsidiary agrees in
writing to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and provisions contained herein, but no such assignment referred to in clause (ii) shall relieve such Party of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement is
binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 
 11.11
Headings. The headings used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions hereof. 
 11.12 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any Party under this Agreement
will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof
and (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. 
  

 51 

 11.13 Mutual Drafting. The Parties are sophisticated and have been represented by attorneys
throughout the transactions contemplated hereby who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the Parties do not intend that the presumptions of laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter
of any particular clause should be applied to this Agreement, the Operative Agreements, the Transactions or any agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith, and therefore waive their effects. 
 11.14 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect
to the conflicts of laws principles (whether of the State of Delaware or otherwise) that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. 
 11.15 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OR
DELAWARE CHANCERY COURT LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARE BASED IN

RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS. A COPY OF ANY SERVICE OF PROCESS SERVED UPON THE PARTIES SHALL BE MAILED BY REGISTERED MAIL TO THE RESPECTIVE PARTY EXCEPT THAT, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
FAILURE TO MAIL SUCH COPY SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SERVICE OF PROCESS. IF ANY AGENT APPOINTED BY A PARTY REFUSES TO ACCEPT SERVICE, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT SERVICE UPON THE APPROPRIATE PARTY BY REGISTERED MAIL SHALL CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT
SERVICE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF A PARTY TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. 
 11.16 Waiver of Jury
Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. EACH PARTY ALSO WAIVES ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND WHICH MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS 

  

 52

LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
