Agreement
		
	1.
	Exchange of Series A Preferred Stock for the Series B-3 Preferred Stock and Warrants.

  
(a)Effective as of the Closing, IEA LLC hereby assigns and transfers to the Company for cancellation the Exchanged Series A Shares, and in exchange thereof, the Company hereby issues and delivers to IEA LLC (i) a number of shares of Series B-3 Preferred Stock determined by dividing the aggregate Stated Value of the Exchanged Series A Shares by the Per Share Purchase Price and (ii) a number of Warrants equal to the product of (x) the aggregate Stated Value of the Exchanged Series A Shares multiplied by (y) a fraction equal to 5,500,000/160,000,000 (which Warrants will be subject to the protections set forth in Section 2.1(a)of the Tranche 2 ECA, as equitably adjusted to apply to the Warrants issued hereunder).  IEA LLC hereby acknowledges and agrees that as a result of the transaction described in the immediately preceding sentence (the “Exchange”), the Exchanged Series A Shares are cancelled and will cease to be issued and outstanding. Such cancellation shall be evidenced on the books and records of the Company. 

(b)For purposes of this Agreement, the following capitalized terms have the definitions below: 
(i)“Per Share Purchase Price” means $1,000.
(ii)“Stated Value” means, with respect to a share of Series A Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the sum of (i) $1,000, plus (ii) the amount of accumulated but unpaid dividends compounded and accumulated on such share through and on the Closing Date.

(c)Post-Closing Warrant Adjustment.  

(i)Triggered by Issuance of Additional Common Stock.  Subject to obtaining any required Stockholder Rule 5635 Approval, within five (5) Business Days after any issuance, from time to time, of Additional Common Stock , the Company shall issue to IEA LLC a number of additional Warrants equal to (A) the number of shares of such Additional Common Stock multiplied by (B) the Applicable IEA LLC Share Factor, which additional Warrants shall be adjusted pursuant to any Adjustments (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) that have occurred since the Closing Date.  
(ii)Triggered by Issuance of Warrants Pursuant to Section 5.6(a), (b) or (c) of the May 2019 ECA.  Subject to obtaining any required Stockholder Rule 5635 Approval, within five (5) Business Days after any issuance, from time to time, of Warrants pursuant to any of Section 5.6(a), (b) or (c) of the May 2019 ECA, the Company shall issue to IEA LLC a number of additional Warrants equal to (A) the number of shares of such warrants issued pursuant to any of Section 5.6(a), (b) or (c) of the May 2019 ECA multiplied by (B) the Applicable IEA LLC Share Factor, which additional Warrants shall be adjusted pursuant to any Adjustments (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) that have occurred since the Closing Date.
(iii)“Applicable IEA LLC Share Factor” means the quotient determined by dividing (A) the IEA LLC Pro Rata Coverage Factor by (B) the excess of (x) one over (y) the IEA LLC Pro Rata Coverage Factor.
(iv)“IEA LLC Pro Rata Coverage Factor” means the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stated Value of the Exchanged Series A Shares, and the denominator of which is 160, and (B) 18%.

	3.
	Representations.

(a)Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that such party has all requisite power and authority to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement, that this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by all requisite action to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to perform his or its obligations hereunder and that this Agreement constitutes its valid, legal and binding obligations enforceable in accordance with, its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Laws limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable remedies (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

	4.
	Tax Cooperation. IEA LLC and the Company shall cooperate with respect to the tax reporting of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall report the exchange by IEA LLC of Exchanged Series A Shares for Series B-3 Preferred Stock and Warrants (or, if applicable, either component of the exchange, e.g. if the Warrants constitute “securities,” but the Series B-3 Preferred Stock does not constitute a “security,” for tax purposes) as a tax-deferred transaction so long as there is “substantial authority” for this reporting as defined in U.S. Treasury regulations, Section 1.662-4(d)(2). If the Company determines that it must report any component of the exchange by IEA LLC of Exchanged Series A Shares for Series B-3 Preferred Stock and Warrants as a taxable transaction, it shall not report such component of the exchange as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes as long as there is “substantial authority” for this reporting as defined in U.S. Treasury regulations, Section 1.6662-4(d)(2).

		
	5.
	Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by Delaware Law without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and the parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and, in the case of appeals, appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such action or proceeding, irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding.

		
	6.
	Jointly Drafted; Advice of Counsel. The words used in this Agreement shall be deemed words chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of construction against any party shall apply to any term or provision of this Agreement. This Agreement is entered into by all parties hereto freely 

and voluntarily, and with and upon the advice of counsel. All parties hereto warrant that they have been fully advised by their attorneys with respect to the advisability of executing this Agreement and with respect to the releases and other matters contained herein.

		
	7.
	Counterparts and Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,  which collectively shall be deemed an original and which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Electronic or facsimile copies of counterparts of this Agreement shall have the full force and effect as an original.

		
	8.
	Entire Agreement, Modifications, Etc. This Agreement, collectively with the Tranche 2 ECA and the other Definitive Documents, constitute the entire Agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous negotiations, agreements, understandings or commitments concerning the subject matter hereof, and shall not be released, discharged, changed, waived, or modified except by instruments in writing signed by each of the parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and upon their respective successors and permitted assigns. The parties acknowledge that no person or entity, nor an agent or attorney of any person or entity, has made any promises, representations, or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, which are not expressly contained in this Agreement, and the parties further acknowledge that they have not entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any collateral promise, representation, warranty, or in reliance upon any belief as to any fact or matter not expressly recited in this Agreement.

	Benefits. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any party other than the parties to this Agreement or their respective successors or assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement or any provision contained herein. 

		
	10.

In addition, each Public Stockholder shall have the right (the “Minimum Subscription Right”to purchase a minimum of $50,000 of Series B-3 Preferred Stock and a corresponding number of warrants in order to satisfy the minimum subscription amount, if such amount is greater than the amount of Series B-3 Preferred Stock that could have been purchased based on the Rights distributed to such Public Stockholder.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          To the extent that those exercising the Basic Rights and the Minimum Subscription Right would acquire more than $15,000,000 Stated Value of Series B-3 Preferred Stock (and associated warrants), then the amount of Series B-3 Preferred Stock (and associated warrants) to be purchased by the Public Stockholders exercising the Minimum Subscription Right shall be equal to $15,000,000 less the Series B-3 Preferred Stock (and associated warrants) to be purchased by the Public Stockholders exercising the Basic Right. Such B-3 Preferred Stock (and associated warrants) will be allocated among those Public Stockholders exercising the Minimum Subscription Right pro rata based on the number of shares of IEA common stock held; for the avoidance of doubt, the minimum subscription amount shall no longer be applicable to such Public Stockholders.

	Over-subscription
	Each Right will contain an oversubscription right, which will permit each Public Stockholder who has exercised its Basic Right in full to purchase any unsubscribed portion of the Aggregate Amount of Securities Offered on a pro rata basis (based on the outstanding shares of IEA common stock held by the Public Stockholders on the Distribution Date who have fully exercised their Basic Right and are exercising their oversubscription right), subject to a $2.25 million maximum aggregate subscription by each Public Stockholder.

	Transferability
	The Rights will be fully transferrable; however, the Company need not list the Rights for trading on any securities exchange.
