Service Provider shall perform the maintenance portion of the Services in a clean, safe, efficient and environmentally reasonable manner and maintain the SEF in good operating and mechanical condition in accordance with this Agreement and (i) all applicable laws and permits, (ii) all applicable express warranties and guarantees provided by manufacturers, suppliers, or Service Providers who provided materials or labor under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Agreement dated September 30, 2009 (the EPC Agreement) for the SEF subject to the terms and limitations thereof, and (iii) all manufacturer's maintenance instructions and specifications.

1.3 Performance Objectives. Service Provider shall perform the Services and its obligations under this Agreement in a manner that (a) insures the operation of the SEF within all required operational parameters and requirements, (b) preserves all warranties provided by manufacturers, suppliers, or Service Providers who provided materials or labor under the EPC Agreement relating to the SEF, subject to Force Majeure, (c) maintains the SEF, and

1

(d) seeks to minimize the variable operating costs of and wear and tear on the SEF, including using commercially reasonable efforts to achieve industry standard levels of SEF availability.

1.4 Non-Covered Services.

(a) The Services shall not include, and Service Provider shall not be responsible for, any operations, maintenance, repair, or other services beyond the Services set forth in Exhibit C (such non-covered services referred to hereinafter as Non-Covered Services). All work associated with Non- Covered Services will be billed according to the terms of Section 2.2. Any studies or other services required by Owner to review options to optimize system performance will be provided as Non-Covered Services.

(b) The Performance of any Non-Covered Services by Service Provider shall require a written request from Owner specifying the Non-Covered Services to be performed by Service Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the costs of Non-Covered Services to be performed by Service Provider do not exceed $500.00 in any single instance, or (ii) the Non-Covered Services are provided by Service Provider on an emergency basis to prevent an imminent danger of injury, loss, or damage (exceeding $500.00), Service Provider shall attempt to notify Owner via telephone prior to the performance of any Non-Covered Services and shall be authorized to proceed with the performance of such Non-Covered Services upon receiving verbal approval from Owner. Should Service Provider be unable to contact Owner prior to providing any Non-Covered Services on an emergency basis, Service Provider shall be authorized to perform such emergency Non-Covered Services without prior approval from Owner and shall notify Owner immediately thereafter in writing specifying the nature of the emergency and the Non-Covered Services provided.

(c) Service Provider shall perform any Non-Covered Services only to the extent Service Provider is capable of, and licensed to, provide such Non- Covered Services and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

1.5 Permits. Service Provider shall identify, procure, obtain, maintain and comply with all permits that may be required under applicable laws for or in connection with the performance of Services (and Non-Covered Services as actually provided by Service Provider) and that need to be procured, obtained and maintained by or in the name of Service Provider. Owner shall provide Service Provider with such assistance and cooperation as may reasonably be required in order to obtain and maintain all such Permits. Service Provider shall submit copies of all applications for, and proposed forms of, all such Permits to Owner with sufficient time to allow for Owner's review and approval.

1.6 Cooperation with Other Service Providers. Service Provider acknowledges that Owner has retained, and may from time to time retain, other Service Providers to provide maintenance, administrative and management services for Owner in connection with the SEF or otherwise at the Premises. Service Provider shall cooperate and coordinate its activities hereunder with such other Service Providers. Service Provider shall not be responsible in any way for any services provided by other Service Providers retained by Owner. Owner shall instruct all other Service Providers to coordinate the performance of services with Service Provider so as to not interfere with Service Provider's performance of Services.

1.7 Personnel Standards.

(a) Service Provider's employees shall be qualified (and if required by applicable law, licensed, certified or registered) and experienced in the functions to which they are assigned and shall meet the requirements of all permits, all applicable laws and the then-current SEF maintenance manuals (to the extent copies of which have been provided to Service Provider by Owner). If requested, Service Provider shall provide to Owner evidence of the competence of such personnel including details of their previous experience and qualifications. If Owner or User reasonably determines an employee of Service Provider to be under-qualified, disruptive, non-cooperative or otherwise undesirable at the Premises, Owner or User may request the immediate removal of such employee from the Premises for any existing or future delivery of the Services and the replacement of such employee with a different employee of Service Provider; provided that Owner or User, as the case may be, will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable notice to Service Provider of the need for such proposed removal. Neither Owner's or User's request to Service Provider to remove an employee, nor Service Provider's removal of an employee following Owner's or User's request, shall relieve Service Provider of any of its obligations hereunder or be construed as a waiver by Owner or User of any of its rights under this Agreement.

(b) Service Provider shall institute policies to forbid and prevent the possession or use of firearms, alcohol and illegal drugs at the Premises. Service Provider shall institute policies that require post-accident and for-cause drug or alcohol testing.

1.8 O&M Data and Records.

2

by Owner, within ten (10) business days following such request. Service Provider shall make the SEF O&M Reports available to Owner in hard copy and electronic formats.

(b) Service Provider shall prepare reports and data related to the maintenance of hazardous materials introduced on-site by the Service Provider at the SEF in a manner complying with all applicable laws.

Each party (Indemnifying Party) shall indemnify the other party, its officers, directors, agents, employees, and assigns (each, an Indemnified Party), and undertake to defend and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any claim, demand, suits, cause of action, losses, penalties, obligations, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, interest expenses and amounts paid in compromise or settlement) (Loss) arising out of personal injury or third party property damages to the extent caused by or arising out of the fault of or negligent acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party.

5.2 Claims for Indemnification. The following provisions shall apply to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 5 (each, an Indemnity Claim):

(i) If an Indemnified Party determines that it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 5, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Loss specifying (to the extent that such information is available) the following: the factual basis for the Indemnity Claim and the amount of the Indemnity Claim or, if an amount is not then determinable, and, if an estimate is feasible in the circumstances, an estimate of the amount of the Indemnity Claim;

(ii) a reasonably detailed description of the basis for its potential claim for indemnification with respect to such Indemnity Claim; and

(iii) a complete copy of all notices, pleadings and other papers related to such Indemnity Claim that have been received by the Indemnified Party prior to the date such notice is provided to Indemnifying Party; provided that failure to give such notice or to provide such information and documents shall not relieve Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation it may have under this Article 5 unless and only to the extent that such failure shall materially diminish the ability of Indemnifying Party to respond to the Indemnity Claim or to defend the Indemnified Party.

(b) The Indemnified Party agrees to provide all reasonably necessary or useful information, assistance and authority to settle and/or defend any Loss; provided that failure to do so will not affect the indemnity except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

(c) Any dispute as to whether or not the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification applies, and the amount of the Indemnity Claim (as it may have been compromised or settled by the Indemnified Party, or determined in a proceeding, pending resolution of such dispute) shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 6.

ARTICLE 6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

6.3 [reserved]

6.4 In the event of a dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or in connection with this Contract, the Parties through their designated representatives or program managers agree to confer and attempt to resolve the matter informally in good faith. If such dispute cannot be resolved in this manner within ten (10) calendar days after notice of the dispute is given to the other Party, then the matter shall be referred to the Parties' senior officers for their review and resolution.

The Party receiving such documents or information shall not publish or otherwise disclose them or use them for its own purposes (otherwise than as may be required by it, its professional advisers, or potential or actual lenders or investors, or potential or actual subcontractors to perform its obligations or to assert its rights under this Agreement).

Service Provider acknowledges that Owner will be financing the acquisition of the SEF and Service Provider agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate with Owner and its financing parties in connection with such financing for the SEF, including the furnishing of such information and the giving of such certificates; provided that the foregoing undertaking shall not obligate Service Provider to materially change any rights or benefits, or materially increase any burdens, liabilities or obligations of Service Provider, under this Agreement (except for providing notices and additional cure periods to the financing parties with respect to Events of Defaults with respect to Owner as a financing party may reasonably request).

ARTICLE 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Hazardous Conditions. Service Provider is not responsible for any Hazardous Conditions encountered at the Premises. Upon encountering any Hazardous Conditions, Service Provider will stop work immediately in the affected area and duly notify Owner and, if required by any legal requirements, all government or quasi-government entities with jurisdiction over the Premises. Hazardous Conditions are any materials, wastes, substances and chemicals deemed to be hazardous under applicable legal requirements, or the handling, storage, remediation, or disposal of which are regulated by applicable legal requirements.

(a) Upon receiving notice of the presence of suspected Hazardous Conditions, Owner shall take the necessary measures required to ensure that the Hazardous Conditions are remediated or rendered harmless.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Service Provider, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, arising out of or resulting from the presence, removal or remediation of Hazardous Conditions at the Premises

This Agreement (including the exhibits, any written schedules, supplements or amendments) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties, and shall supersede any prior oral or written agreements between the Parties, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any amendment, modification or change to this Agreement will be void unless in writing and executed by both Parties.

10.4 Non-Waiver. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power, privilege, or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by either Party of a breach of any term or provision contained herein shall be effective unless signed and in writing and signed by the waiving party. No consent by either Party to, or waiver of, a breach by either Party, whether express or implied, shall be construed, operate as, or constitute a consent to, waiver of, or excuse of any other or subsequent or succeeding breach by either Party.

10.5 Severability. If any part, term, or provision of this Agreement is determined by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect or impair the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other part, term, or provision of this Agreement, and shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole. Rather the part of this Agreement that is found invalid or unenforceable will be amended, changed, or interpreted to achieve as nearly as possible the same objectives and economic effect as the original provision, or replaced to the extent possible, with a legal, enforceable, and valid provision that is as similar in tenor to the stricken provision, within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions, and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force

10.6 No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing in this Agreement will provide any benefit to any third party or entitle any third party to any claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind.

10.7 No Recourse to Affiliates. This Agreement is solely and exclusively between the Parties, and any obligations created herein on the part of either Party shall be the obligations solely of such Party.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and in original or portable document format, and by the different parties hereto on the same or separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

10.9 Further Assurances. The Parties shall at their own cost and expense do such further acts, perform such further actions, execute and deliver such further or additional documents and instruments as may be reasonably required or appropriate to consummate, evidence, or confirm the agreements and understandings contained herein and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

10.10 General Interpretation. The terms of this Agreement have been negotiated by the Parties hereto and the language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction against the Party causing such instrument of any portion thereof to be drafted, or in favor of the Party receiving a particular benefit under this Agreement. No rule of strict construction will be applied against any person.

10.11 Access to Premises. Owner shall furnish reasonable access to the Premises in order to allow Service Provider to perform the Services. Service Provider's access to the Premises (including its agents, employees, and representatives) shall be subject to User's rules and regulations, security policies and guidelines and access control systems and procedures (as provided by Owner to Service Provider as of the Effective Date). Owner shall coordinate and provide for User's, or User's agent's, supervision of Service Provider, as may be required by User, in a manner that shall not disrupt Service Provider's performance of the Services.

10.12 No Claims against the Premises. Service Provider understands and acknowledges that the SEF is separate from, and not an improvement to or a part of the Premises and that the SEF is separately owned by Owner. Owner, and not User, any owner, landlord, tenant, or subtenant of the Premises, is solely responsible for the payment of all Services Fees, and Service Providers shall have no claim against the Premises for unpaid Services Fees. Service Provider agrees not to attempt to record any lien against the Premises for unpaid Services Fees.

10.13 Headings. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and do not form a part or affect the meaning hereof.

10.14 Public Announcements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each Party acknowledges that the other Party (the Public Party) is or may become a publicly-held company, and in conjunction with its duties as a publicly-held company, such Public Party may from time to time be required to report to the public by filing appropriate disclosure statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission on form 8(k,) periodical reports, or otherwise according to applicable securities laws and regulations, or through press releases (collectively, Public Information); provided, however, that unless required by law, the Public Party shall not use the other Party's, Owner's, or User's name or brand in such Public Information without prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be

7

unreasonably, withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent consistent with applicable law, the Public Party shall have given the other Party, Owner, or User advance notice and an opportunity to review and provide comment on such releases. On the Public Party's request, the other Party shall provide a written description of information about such Party as it should appear in such filings.

10.15 Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Party shall be liable for any failure to comply with its obligations under the this Agreement, other than to pay moneys due, to the extent arising out of any circumstances not within the reasonable control, directly or indirectly, of the Party affected (Force Majeure). Force Majeure shall include fire, explosion, flood, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, storm, wind or other unusually adverse weather, civil commotions, civil disobedience, war, rebellion, sabotage, acts of civil or military authority, acts of public enemy, acts of terrorism, boycotts, industry-wide strike or labor difficulties, acts of God, and any actions or inactions by the local utility, but shall not include any inability to make payments that are due hereunder.

Each of the Transaction Entities will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an Indemnified Party), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of any Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, and in connection with the enforcement of this provision with respect to any of the above as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither of the Transaction Entities will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that such information furnished by the Agent consists only of the information described as such in Section 8(b) below. (b) Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers. The Agent will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Transaction Entities, their directors and each of their officers who signs a Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls either of the Transaction Entities within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an Agent Indemnified Party), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Agent Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of any Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to either of the Transaction Entities by the Agent specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Agent Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Agent Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Agent consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of the Agent: the thirteenth full paragraph under the caption Plan of Distribution in the Final Prospectus Supplement and under the caption Other Relationships, in each case, only to the extent that such statements relate only to the Agent.

39

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified party, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsections (a), (b) or (c) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsections (a), (b) or (c) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsections (a), (b) or (c) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8(c) for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party. (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsections (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Transaction Entities on the one hand and by the Agent on the other hand from the offering of the Offered Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Transaction Entities on the one hand and by the Agent on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Agent. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Agent and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this Section 8(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Series A Preferred Stock sold pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which the Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

9. Termination of Agency. If the Offered Shares are not sold by May 26, 2016, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of the Company and the Agent, except as provided in Section 10 hereof. As used in this Agreement, the term Agent includes any person substituted for the Agent under this Section 9. 10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Transaction Entities, the Manager or their respective officers and of the Agent set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Agent, the Transaction Entities, the Manager or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Shares. If the settlement of the Offered Shares by the Agent is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company will reimburse the Agent for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the placement of the Offered Shares, and the respective obligations of the Transaction Entities and the Manager, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall remain in effect. In addition, if the Offered Shares have been settled pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the representations and warranties in Sections 2 through 3 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect.

Each of the Transaction Entities and the Manager (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates) and the Agent hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 18.
