EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This

(the “Executive”), and is effective as of the Closing Date, as such term is defined in that certain Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 12, 2021 (the “Business Combination
Agreement”), by and among CBRE Acquisition Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CBRE”), CBAH Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE (“First Merger Sub”), CBAH
Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CBRE (“Second Merger Sub”), Altus Power America Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, APAM Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, and Altus Power, Inc. (the “Parent Company”), providing for, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions therein, a business combination between CBRE and the Parent Company pursuant to the proposed

does not occur, this Agreement will be void and of no force or effect. 
 WHEREAS, the Executive possesses certain experience and expertise
that qualifies him to provide the direction and leadership required by the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to
employ the Executive as Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Executive wishes to accept such employment; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and the
Executive agree as follows: 
 1.    Position and Duties.  

(a)    Effective as of the Closing Date, the Executive will continue to be employed by the Company, on a full-time basis,
as its Co-Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Executive may be asked from time to time to serve as a director or officer of the Company or one or more of the Company’s Affiliates, without further
compensation. 
 (a)    The Executive agrees to perform the duties of his position and such other duties as may
reasonably be assigned to the Executive from time to time. The Executive also agrees that, while employed by the Company, he will devote his full business time and his best efforts, business judgment, skill and knowledge exclusively to the
advancement of the business interests of the Company and its Affiliates and to the discharge of his duties and responsibilities for them; provided, that the Executive may (i) manage the Executive’s personal investments and
(ii) engage in not-for-profit activities, in each case so long as any such activities do not (A) violate the terms of this Agreement or (B) interfere with
the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company. 

 (b)    The Executive agrees that, while employed by the Company, he will
comply with all Company policies, practices and procedures and all codes of ethics or business conduct applicable to his position, as in effect from time to time. 

2.    Compensation and Benefits. During the Executive’s employment hereunder, as compensation for all services
performed by the Executive for the Company and its Affiliates, the Company will provide the Executive the following compensation and benefits: 

(a)    Base Salary.    The Company will pay the Executive a base salary at the rate of $550,000
per year, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company and subject to adjustment from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors (including any committees thereof, the “Board”) in its discretion
(as adjusted, from time to time, the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be reviewed on an annual basis by the Compensation Committee of the Board as part of setting annual goals for the business.. 

(b)    Bonus Compensation. For each fiscal year completed during the Executive’s employment under this
Agreement, the Executive will be eligible to earn an annual Target Bonus in an amount equal to 100% of his Base Salary. The Target Bonus will be adjusted based on the extent to which the Parent Company’s financial performance meets, exceeds, or
falls short of relevant targets. The Executive can achieve a maximum bonus equal to 200% of his Base Salary, with the actual amount of any such bonus to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its discretion, based on the
Executive’s performance and the Parent Company’s performance against goals established by the Board. The actual bonus will be determined against a defined list of strategic performance objectives which will be set and measured by the
Compensation Committee of the Board. The annual bonus, to the extent payable, shall be paid in accordance with the general payroll practices of the Company when bonuses are paid to other senior executives generally, and in any event not earlier than
January 1st or later than December 31st of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year to which such annual bonus relates. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 5(b), in order to receive any annual bonus hereunder, the Executive must be employed through the date that such bonus is paid. 

(c)    Participation in Employee Benefit Plans. The Executive will be entitled to participate in all employee
benefit plans from time to time in effect for senior executives of the Company generally, except to the extent such plans are duplicative of benefits otherwise provided to the Executive under this Agreement (e.g., a severance pay plan). The
Executive’s participation will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Company policies, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and any other restrictions or limitations imposed by law. 

(d)    Vacations. The Executive will be entitled to earn twenty-five (25) days of vacation per year, in
addition to holidays observed by the Company. Vacation may be taken at such times and intervals as the Executive shall determine, subject to the business needs of the Company. Vacation shall otherwise be subject to the policies of the Company, as in
effect from time to time. 

  
 - 2 - 

 (e)    Business Expenses. The Company will pay or reimburse the
Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred or paid by the Executive in the performance of his duties and responsibilities for the Company, subject to any maximum annual limit and other restrictions on such expenses set by the Company
and to such reasonable substantiation and documentation as may be specified by the Company from time to time. The Executive’s right to payment or reimbursement hereunder shall be subject to the following additional rules: (i) the amount of
expenses eligible for payment or reimbursement during any calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for payment or reimbursement in any other calendar year, (ii) payment or reimbursement shall be made not later than December 31
of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense or payment was incurred and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. 

3.    Confidential Information and Restricted Activities. The Executive shall become party to the Confidential
Information, Inventions and Proprietary Rights Agreement (the “CIIA”), attached hereto as Exhibit A, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and made a part hereof. 

4.    Termination of Employment.    The Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall
continue until terminated pursuant to this Section 4. 
 (a)    By the Company For Cause. The Company may
terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause upon notice to the Executive setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean, in the reasonable and good faith
judgment of the Board: the Executive’s (a) failure to comply with the Company’s policies and procedures which the Board reasonably determines has been or is likely to be injurious to the Company or its Affiliates, monetarily or
otherwise; (b) willful or illegal misconduct or grossly negligent conduct that is injurious to the Company or its Affiliates, monetarily or otherwise; (c) violation of laws or
regulations governing the Company or its Affiliates or violation of the Company’s code of ethics; (d) breach of any fiduciary duty owed to the Company or its Affiliates; (e) misrepresentation or dishonesty which the Board reasonably
determines has been or is likely to be injurious to the Company or its Affiliates; (f) material breach of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement or a breach of the CIIA; (g) involvement in any act of moral turpitude that in the
reasonable opinion of the Board has an injurious effect on the Company or its Affiliates or their reputation; or (h) breach of the terms of any non-solicitation or confidentiality clause contained in an
employment agreement(s) with any former employer.
 (b)    By the Company Without Cause. The Company may
terminate the Executive’s employment at any time other than for Cause upon notice to the Executive. 
 (c)    By
the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events, without the Executive’s
consent: (i) the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities are materially and adversely changed; (ii) the Executive’s Base Salary or bonus targets are materially reduced by the Company other than in connection with a
general reduction of executive salaries and bonus targets; or (iii) the geographic location for the performance of the Executive’s duties is moved more than 50 miles from the geographic location

  
 - 3 - 

 
at the effective date; provided, however, that for a termination to qualify as a “Good Reason” termination (A) the Executive must have provided the Company written
notice within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of an event that allegedly constitutes Good Reason specifying in reasonable detail the nature thereof, (B) the Company must have failed to cure within thirty (30) days after
receiving valid notice, and (C) the Executive must have resigned within thirty (30) days following the Company’s failure to cure. 

(d)    By the Executive Without Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment without Good Reason at any
time upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Company. The Board may elect to waive such notice period or any portion thereof. 

(e)    Death and Disability. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall automatically terminate in the event
of the Executive’s death during employment. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment, upon notice to the Executive, in the event that the Executive becomes disabled during his employment hereunder through any illness, injury,
accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature and, as a result, is unable to perform substantially all of his duties and responsibilities hereunder (notwithstanding the provision of any reasonable accommodation) for a period of
one hundred twenty (120) days during any period of three hundred sixty-five (365) consecutive days. If any question shall arise as to whether the Executive is disabled to the extent that he is unable to perform substantially all of his
duties and responsibilities for the Company and its Affiliates, the Executive shall, at the Company’s request, submit to a medical examination by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or the Executive’s guardian, if
any, has no reasonable objection to determine whether the Executive is so disabled, and such determination shall for purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. If such a question arises and the Executive fails to submit to the requested
medical examination, the Company’s good faith, reasonable determination of the issue shall be binding on the Executive. 

5.    Other Matters Related to Termination. 

(a)    Final Compensation. In the event of termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company,
howsoever occurring, the Company shall pay the Executive (i) the Base Salary for the final payroll period of his employment, through the date his employment terminates; (ii) compensation at the rate of the Base Salary for any vacation time
earned but not used as of the date his employment terminates; and (iii) reimbursement, in accordance with Section 2(e) hereof, for business expenses incurred by the Executive but not yet paid to the Executive as of the date his employment
terminates, provided that the Executive submits all expenses and supporting documentation required within sixty (60) days of the date his employment terminates, and provided further that such expenses are reimbursable under Company policies
then in effect (all of the foregoing, “Final Compensation”). Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(a)(iii), Final Compensation will be paid to the Executive within thirty (30) days following the date of termination or
such shorter period required by law. 
 (b)    Severance Payments. In the event of any termination of the
Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 4(b) or Section 4(c) above, the Company will pay the Executive, in addition to Final Compensation, (i) twelve (12) months’ Base Salary at the rate in effect at the

  
 - 4 - 

 
time the Executive’s employment terminates (ii) a pro rata short-term incentive bonus for the performance period in which such termination occurs, with the pro-ration determined based on the number of days that the Executive was employed by the Company during the performance period and the amount of the short-term incentive bonus determined based on actual performance
for the entire performance period and to be paid on the date provided in Section 2(b); (iii) any annual bonus for the prior year that is unpaid and to be paid on the date provided in Section 2(b), and (d) subject to Executive’s
timely election and continued eligibility for COBRA continuation coverage, Company subsidized COBRA continuation coverage for a period of 12 months (determined on a pre-tax basis) or, if earlier, until
the Executive becomes eligible for medical benefits from a subsequent employer (the “Severance Payments”). 

(c)    Conditions To And Timing Of Severance Payments. Any obligation of the Company to provide the Executive the
Severance Payments is conditioned on his signing and returning, without revoking, to the Company a timely and effective release of claims in a form provided by the Company containing customary terms (the “Release”), and continued
compliance with the CIIA. The Release must become effective, if at all, by the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following the date the Executive’s employment terminates. Any Severance Payments to which the Executive is entitled, other than as set
forth in Section 5(b) and 5(c) (if applicable) will be payable in the form of salary continuation in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company. The first such payment will be made on the Company’s next regular payday
following the effective date of the Release, provided that if the period over which the Executive has to consider whether to enter into the Release spans calendar years, the first payment will commence on the first payroll date in the second
calendar year, but will be retroactive to the day following such date of termination. 
 (d)    Benefits
Termination. Except for any right the Executive may have under COBRA or other applicable law to continue participation in the Company’s group health and dental plans at his cost, the Executive’s participation in all employee benefit
plans shall terminate in accordance with the terms of the applicable benefit plans based on the date of termination of his employment, without regard to any continuation of the Base Salary or other payment to the Executive following termination of
his employment, and the Executive shall not be eligible to earn vacation or other paid time off following the termination of his employment. 

(e)    Survival. Provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination of employment if so provided in this
Agreement or if necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of other surviving provisions, including without limitation the Executive’s obligations under the CIIA. The obligation of the Company to make payments to the Executive under
Section 5(b), and the Executive’s right to retain the same, are expressly conditioned upon the Executive’s continued full performance of his obligations under the CIIA.    Upon termination of the Executive’s
employment by either the Executive or the Company, all rights, duties and obligations of the Executive and the Company to each other shall cease, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

 6.    Timing of Payments and Section 409A. 

 (a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at the time the Executive’s employment
terminates, the Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined below, any and all amounts payable under this Agreement on account of such separation from service that would (but for this provision) be payable within six (6) months
following the date of termination, shall instead be paid on the next business day following the expiration of such six (6)-month period or, if earlier, upon the Executive’s death; except (A) to the extent of amounts that do not constitute
a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(b) (including without limitation by reason of the safe harbor set forth in
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), as determined by the Company in its reasonable good faith discretion); (B) benefits which qualify as excepted welfare benefits pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5); or (C) other amounts or benefits that are not subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(“Section 409A”). 
 (b)    For purposes of this Agreement, all references to
“termination of employment” and correlative phrases shall be construed to require a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury regulations after
giving effect to the presumptions contained therein), and the term “specified employee” means an individual determined by the Company to be a specified employee under Treasury regulation
Section 1.409A-1(i). 
 (c)    Each payment made under this Agreement shall
be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. 

(d)    In no event shall the Company have any liability relating to the failure or alleged failure of any payment or
benefit under this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A. 

7.    Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions apply: 

“Affiliates” means all persons and entities directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with
the Company, where control may be by management authority, equity interest or otherwise. 
 “Person” means an individual, a
corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a partnership, an estate, a trust or any other entity or organization, other than the Company or any of its Affiliates. 

8.    Conflicting Agreements. The Executive hereby represents and warrants that his signing of this Agreement and
the performance of his obligations under it will not breach or be in conflict with any other agreement to which the Executive is a party or is bound, and that the Executive is not now subject to any covenants against competition or similar covenants
or any court order that could affect the performance of his obligations under this Agreement. The Executive agrees that the Executive will not disclose to or use on behalf of the Company any confidential or proprietary information of a third party
without that party’s consent. 

  
 - 6 - 

 9.    Withholding. All payments made by the Company under this
Agreement shall be reduced by any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company to the extent required by applicable law. 

10.    Assignment. Neither the Executive nor the Company may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest
in it, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that the Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the Executive’s consent to one of its
Affiliates or to any Person with whom the Company shall hereafter effect a reorganization, consolidate or merge, or to whom the Company shall hereafter transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the Executive and the Company, and each of their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns. 

11.    Severability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be declared illegal or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected
thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

12.    Miscellaneous. This Agreement, together with the CIIA, sets forth the entire agreement between the Executive
and the Company, and replaces all prior and contemporaneous communications, agreements and understandings, written or oral, with respect to the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended,
and no breach shall be deemed to be waived, unless agreed to in writing by the Executive and an expressly authorized representative of the Board. The headings and captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and in no way define or describe
the scope or content of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This is a Connecticut
contract and shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to any conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. 

13.    Notices. Any notices provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be effective when
delivered in person or deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to the Executive at his last known address on the books of the Company or, in the case of the Company, to it at its principal place of business, attention of
the Chairman of the Board, or to such other address as either party may specify by notice to the other actually received.

AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AGREEMENT 

This Confidential Information, Inventions and Proprietary Rights Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Altus Power

(c) is binding upon Employee’s heirs, executors, administrators, or other legal representatives; and (d) shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, all parent, subsidiary, or other affiliated entities of the Company. 

2.    Protection of Confidential Information. The Company and Employee recognize that the Company has valuable
Confidential Information utilized in its business to which Employee has access or of which he or she has knowledge. “Confidential Information” comprises all trade secrets, confidential information, data and any other proprietary
information of the Company, and includes, among other things, all customer information, information obtained from customers which customers have designated as confidential, information that is learned or seen at a customer’s place of business;
all of the software of the Company, all source code of software, all diagrams, logic and flow and look and feel and design information of the software of the Company; all information relating to the data center and its structure and operations; the
business strategy of the Company, all financial information of the Company, negotiations with customers and prospective customers of the Company; certain personnel information of the Company; and all information that is used by the Company to give
it a competitive edge in the markets in which it operates. This Confidential Information shall be treated as confidential whether or not it is so designated. Confidential Information does not include information that: (1) was already in
Employee’s possession on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to any third party, provided that such information came into his or her possession from a source not subject to another
confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to any other person; (2) is public knowledge at the time of such disclosure or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Employee in
violation of the terms of this Agreement; (3) becomes available to Employee on a non-confidential basis from any third party, provided that such third party is not bound by a confidentiality agreement
with or other obligation of secrecy to any other person; or (4) is independently developed by Employee without violating his or her obligations under this Agreement. Confidential Information of the Company consists not only of written
information, but also information that is stored on tapes, disks, diskettes, or simply known by Employee without any recordation. 

(A)    Employee agrees to treat all of the Confidential Information as confidential and shall not directly or indirectly
use or disclose any Confidential Information without the written consent of the Company, except as necessary in the ordinary course of performing Employee’s duties for the Company. Employee agrees not to directly or indirectly use or disclose
for his or her own purposes any of the Confidential Information either during the term of employment or 

  

			
	Confidentiality and Protection of Intellectual Property Agreement	  	Page 1

 
thereafter. Employee also agrees that he or she shall not directly or indirectly use or disclose any Confidential Information to any third party. Employee also agrees to treat all of the
Confidential Information with a high degree of care both during the term of employment and thereafter and not to disseminate same to any third party. Employee also agrees that he or she shall not disclose to the Company, use in the Company’s
business, or cause the Company to use, any Confidential Information of others, particularly Confidential Information Employee may have had access to while employed by a previous employer. 

(B)    The obligations of Employee with respect to Confidential Information hereunder shall continue until such time as
the Confidential Information is no longer considered Confidential Information hereunder through lawful means or until such time as the Company advises Employee in writing to disclose the Confidential Information. 

3.    Developed Inventions. 

(A)    Employee agrees to promptly disclose to the Company, or any persons designated by it, all improvements, inventions,
discoveries, developments, innovations, development work product, works, ideas, concepts, programs, processes, or techniques, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, and whether or not constituting trade
secrets, and all designs, trademarks and copyrightable works (the “Inventions”) that Employee may solely or jointly make or conceive or reduce to practice or learn during the period of time of his or her employment with the Company which:
(i) are within the scope of the services to be provided by Employee to the Company, are related to or useful in the business of the Company or to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated activities; (ii) result from any work
performed by Employee for the Company; (iii) are funded by the Company; or (iv) result from the use of premises, facilities or equipment owned, leased or contracted for by the Company (collectively, the “Developed Inventions”).

 (B)    Employee hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign to the Company all of Employee’s rights, title
and interests in and to the Developed Inventions. Employee herein acknowledges that any and all Developed Inventions are classified as “works for hire” with ownership vested in the Company to the fullest extent under applicable law. To the
extent Employee is prohibited by law from assigning any Developed Inventions to the Company, or in the event of a failure to fully assign and transfer any Developed Inventions to the Company, Employee hereby grants the Company an exclusive,
irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty-free, transferrable, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers) license to use and exploit such Developed
Inventions in any manner and for any purpose in the Company’s sole discretion. 
 (C)    Employee agrees to assist
the Company as reasonably necessary to perfect Company’s ownership interest in the Developed Inventions and to obtain and enforce any patents, trademarks, copyrights and other rights in or to the Developed Inventions in any and all countries.
Employee shall perform any further acts and execute and deliver all documents for use in applying for and obtaining such patents, trademarks, copyrights and other rights thereon and enforcing same, as the Company may desire, together with any
assignment thereof to the Company or persons designated by it. In the event that the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure Employee’s signature to any lawful and necessary document required to apply for or prosecute any patent,
trademark, or copyright or other right or protection with respect to Developed 

  

			
	Confidentiality and Protection of Intellectual Property Agreement	  	Page 2

 
Inventions (including renewals, extensions, continuations, divisions or continuations in part thereto), Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized
officers and agents as Employee’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf and instead of Employee, to execute and file any such
application(s) and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, trademarks, copyrights, or similar protections thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. The Company shall
also have the right to keep and maintain any and all Developed Inventions as trade secrets. 
 4.    Immunity from
Liability for Trade Secret Misappropriation. Employee acknowledges that he or she may be given access to certain information and materials maintained as “trade secrets” under Federal and State law, and that the Company controls the
access and distribution of such information and materials designated as “trade secrets” on a strictly “need-to-know” basis. Employee further
acknowledges that the Company reserves the right to enforce the security and secrecy of its trade secrets by bringing one or more civil actions against Employee for any suspected trade secret misappropriation under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of
2016 (18 U.S.C. § 1831, et seq.) in any Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction. Company also reserves the right to refer any misappropriation of any of Company’s trade secrets to the proper authorities for criminal prosecution
under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (18 U.S.C. § 1831, et seq.). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing: 

(A)    Employee hereby acknowledges that he or she has been given notice, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. s. 1833, that Employee
cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an
attorney, provided that any such disclosure is solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of the law, or is made in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding; and 

(B)    Employee further acknowledges that he or she may disclose Company’s trade secrets to an attorney representing
Employee in any lawsuit filed by Employee alleging that Company retaliated against Employee for reporting a suspected violation of the law as outlined in (A) above, provided that any documents containing the trade secret(s) are filed under
seal, and provided that Employee does not disclose the trade secret, except as ordered by a court. 
 5.    Property
of Others. 
 (A)    Employee represents that Employee’s performance of services for and on behalf of the
Company does not and shall not breach any obligation to keep in confidence any proprietary or Confidential Information (including, without limitation, trade secrets) of others, if any, acquired by Employee in confidence or in trust prior to the date
of this Agreement. Employee affirms that Employee has not entered into any agreement either written or oral in conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other agreement by and between Employee and the Company, and shall not
enter into any such agreement in the future unless such agreement is expressly approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in writing. By signing below, Employee acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Company that Employee is not now
under any obligation of a contractual nature to any person, business or other entity which is inconsistent or 

  

			
	Confidentiality and Protection of Intellectual Property Agreement	  	Page 3

 
in conflict with this Agreement or which would prevent Employee from performing Employee’s obligations for the Company. Employee also hereby represents that Employee has disclosed to the
Company any contract Employee has signed that may restrict Employee’s activities on behalf of the Company. 

(B)    Employee has been advised and hereby acknowledges and agrees that Employee will not use or disclose to the Company
any confidential information, trade secrets under applicable law or company property obtained from a prior employer and expressly affirms that Employee can undertake Employee’s job responsibilities with the Company without doing so. Rather,
Employee will be expected to use only that information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Employee’s own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain,
or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company. Employee agrees that Employee will not bring onto Company premises, or use in the performance of Employee’s duties, any unpublished documents or property belonging to any former
employer or other person to whom Employee has an obligation of confidentiality. 
 6.    Conflict of Interest.
During the term of employment with the Company, Employee shall inform the Company before accepting any employment or consulting relationship with another person or entity: (a) in any field related to the Company’s line of business; or
(b) in a position that requires significant time commitment. Lack of objection by the Company regarding any particular outside activities does not alter or reduce the Employee’s obligations under this Agreement. 

7.    No Solicitation of employees, consultants or contractors, and agreement not to compete. Employee agrees that
during the period of Employee’s employment and for the one (1) year period after the date Employee’s employment ends for any reason, including but not limited to voluntary termination by Employee or involuntary termination by the
Company, Employee will not, as an officer, director, employee, consultant, owner, partner, or in any other capacity, either directly or through others, except on behalf of the Company: 

 

	 	(A)	 solicit, induce, encourage, or participate in soliciting, inducing, or encouraging any employee or independent
contractor of the Company with whom Employee worked during Employee’s employment with the Company to alter or terminate his or her relationship with the Company; 

 

	 	(B)	 hire, employ, or engage in business with or attempt to hire, employ, or engage in business with any person with
whom Employee worked during Employee’s employment with the Company who is employed by the Company or who has left the employment of the Company within the preceding three (3) months; or 

 

	 	(C)	 In view of Employee’s importance to the Company, Employee hereby agrees that the Company would likely
suffer significant harm from Employee competing with the Company for some period of time after Employee’s employment ends. Accordingly, Employee hereby agrees that during the period of Employee’s employment with the Company and for a
period of twelve (12) months after the date of Employee’s separation from employment with the Company, regardless of 

  

			
	Confidentiality and Protection of Intellectual Property Agreement	  	Page 4

	 	
the reason for such separation, Employee will not, without the written consent of the Company, own, manage, operate, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, provide
services to, or be employed by, any Competitive Enterprise where Employee would (a) hold a position with responsibilities that are entirely or substantially similar to the responsibilities of any position that Employee held during the last
twelve (12) months of Employee’s employment or affiliation with the Company, or (b) have responsibility for or access to confidential information that is similar to or that could be further developed using that Confidential
Information to which Employee had access during the last twelve (12) months of Employee’s employment or affiliation with the Company, or (c) be required to apply the same or similar specialized knowledge or skills as those utilized by
Employee in Employee’s activities with the Company. Upon the date of Employee’s separation from employment with the Company, the Company may choose to have Employee subject to this non-competition
section for up to twelve (12) months. If the Company chooses to inform Employee that Employee is subject to this section, then the Company shall pay Employee his salary (in the form of salary continuation as if he was still employed) and health
and dental benefits for as long as Employee is subject to this non-competition section (to be offset by the Severance Payment and any benefits payable pursuant to Section 5(b) of Employee’s
employment agreement with the Company dated the date hereof). In no event shall the Employee be subject to this non-competition section for longer than twelve (12) months from the date of Employee’s
separation from employment. If the Company does not inform Employee upon the date of his separation from employment whether Employee is subject to this non-competition section or if the Company fails to make
any required payment to Employee hereunder, then the Company shall release Employee from the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 7(C). “Competitive Enterprise” means a business enterprise that (i) engages in any activity, or
(ii) owns or controls a significant interest in any entity that engages in any activity that, in either case, competes in the Territory with any activity in which the Company is engaged, which includes solar asset, energy storage and EV
charging origination, managing solar assets, energy storage and EV charging, and software development for clean energy solutions. “Territory” means any state in which Employee’s work impacted the Company’s operations, the United
States, North America, and anywhere else in the world where the Company conducts business. 

 8.    At-Will Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to alter the at-will nature of the employment relationship between the Company and Employee. Either party
retains the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. 

9.    Equitable Relief. The Company and Employee each stipulate and agree not to contradict that any breach or
threatened breach by Employee of the provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4, 6 or 7 of this Agreement shall result in immediate and irreparable harm to the Company, for which there shall be no adequate remedy at law, and
that the Company shall be entitled to immediate equitable relief, including, but not limited to, a temporary restraining order, including on an ex parte basis, to restrain or enjoin Employee from violating the terms of these sections, or to compel

  

			
	Confidentiality and Protection of Intellectual Property Agreement	  	Page 5

 
Employee to cease and desist all unauthorized use and disclosure of the Confidential Information without the need to post bond. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be
construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach. 

10.    Modifications. No modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by the
parties hereto. 
 11.    Severability. If one or more of the provisions in this Agreement is deemed
unenforceable by law, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect. Upon any determination that any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable by law, any provision of this Agreement that is held unreasonable or
contrary to public policy for any reason may be modified by the court such that the contested provision will have the closest effect permitted by applicable law to the original form and will be given effect and enforced as so modified to whatever
extent would be reasonable and enforceable under applicable law. The restrictive periods set forth in this Agreement shall not expire, and shall be tolled, during any period in which Employee is in violation of the restricted period. Employee agrees
that if they or the Company institutes litigation to enforce or challenge the protective covenants in this Agreement, and Employee is not enjoined from breaching one or more of the protective covenants contained in this Agreement, and a court
thereafter determines that one or more of the protective covenants are enforceable, the restrictive periods above shall be tolled (i.e. suspended) beginning on the date the litigation was instituted until the litigation is finally resolved and all
periods of appeal have expired. The non-compete period in Paragraph 7(c) may be extended by the Company to a duration not to exceed two years from the date of the cessation of the Employee’s employment in
the event that the Employee has breached a fiduciary duty to the Company, or has unlawfully taken, physically or electronically, property belonging to the Company. 

12.    Integrated Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between Employee and
the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous arrangements, agreements and understandings, both oral and written, whether in term sheets, presentations or otherwise among the parties
hereto, or between any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement supersedes any prior effective assignment of intellectual property rights by Employee to the
Company or as otherwise directed by the Company. 
 13.    Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by the laws
of the State of Connecticut. 
 14.    Delivery and Legal Consultation. Employee acknowledges that Employee has
the right to consult counsel prior to signing this agreement.
