During the Warranty Period, Operator shall perform the services to the Bloom Systems and the BOF necessary for the Portfolio to perform to the Warranty Specifications (the “System Service Warranty”). In the event that Owner desires Operator to service the Bloom Systems and the BOF beyond the Warranty Period, the rate for such time-based services will be quoted by Operator to Owner quarterly for the following quarter, and materials will be invoiced at the retail prices for such materials.

Section 2.5 Facility Service Warranty Claims.

(a) If Owner desires to make a Facility Service Warranty claim during the Warranty Period, Owner must notify Operator of the defect or other basis for the claim in writing.

(b) In the case of a claim relating to the Power Performance Warranty for a One-Month Power Performance Period or the Efficiency Warranty, upon receipt of such notice and verification by Operator that such One-Month Power Performance Warranty or Efficiency Warranty is applicable, Operator (or its designated subcontractor) or the Service Provider (or its designated subcontractor) will promptly repair or replace, at Operator’s sole option and discretion, any Bloom System whose repair or replacement is required in order for the Portfolio to perform consistent with the Power Performance Warranty or the Efficiency Warranty, as applicable. Owner is hereby notified that refurbished parts may be used in repair or replacement,

but any such refurbished parts will have passed the same inspections and tests performed by Operator on its new parts of the same type before such refurbished parts are used in any repair. If such repair or replacement is not possible (as determined at Operator’s sole option and discretion), Operator will refund the Purchase Price of any such Bloom System to Owner notwithstanding Section 7.1. in which case Operator shall be deemed to have taken title to such Bloom System, and such Bloom System shall be deemed to no longer constitute a portion of the Portfolio. Operator shall make such determination as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 90 days of Operator’s receipt of notice of the claim unless the specific nature of the problem requires a longer period in which to make such determination. If it is determined that a Bloom System will be removed pursuant to this Section 2.5. Operator shall at its sole cost and expense remove the Bloom System and any other ancillary equipment (including the concrete pad and any other improvements to the Site to extent required under the Site Lease) from the Site, restoring the Site to its condition before the installation, including closing all utility connections in the manner required by all applicable Legal Requirement and Site Lease.

(c) In the case of a claim relating to the Power Performance Warranty for a One-Year Power Performance Warranty Period, upon receipt of such notice and verification that such One-Year Power Performance Warranty is applicable, Operator shall make a payment to Owner in an amount to be calculated pursuant to Section 2.6; provided that the cumulative aggregate amount of Operator’s liability for all claims under this Section 2.5(c) shall not exceed [***] of the aggregate Purchase Price of all Bloom Systems in the Portfolio during the applicable period and the purchase price under the December 30 Bill of Sale (inclusive of any amounts paid or for which a pending claim has been made under the Power Performance Warranty or the Section 8.2(b) Warranty, as applicable, under the MESPA).

Section 2.6 Power Performance Warranty. During the Warranty Period, Operator shall determine (i) for each full calendar month (the “One-Month Power Performance Warranty Period”) within five (5) Business Days after the end of such month and (ii) for the most recent Look Back Period (the “One-Year Power Performance Warranty Period”, and, together with the One-Month Power Performance Warranty Period, each a “Power Performance Warranty Period”), whether the Bloom Systems in the Portfolio during such Power Performance Warranty Period have delivered to the Interconnection Point the Minimum kWh during such Power Performance Warranty Period (the “Power Performance Warranty”). If such Power Performance Warranty calculation indicates that the Actual kWh of the Bloom Systems was less than the Minimum kWh during such Power Performance Warranty Period, then Operator shall so notify Owner in writing of the basis of its determination and Owner may make a claim under Section 2.5. An example of a Power Performance Warranty calculation for purposes of a Section 2.5 claim is attached as Appendix D.

Section 2.7 Efficiency Warranty. During the Warranty Period, Operator shall determine for each full calendar month (the “Efficiency Warranty Period”) within five (5) Business Days after the end of such month whether the Portfolio has performed at the Minimum Efficiency Level (the “Efficiency Warranty”); provided that the Efficiency Bank shall be utilized to the extent necessary to meet the Efficiency Warranty. If the Minimum Efficiency Level has

Confidential Treatment Requested

not been met during such Efficiency Warranty Period, then Operator shall so notify Owner in writing of the basis of its determination and Owner may make a claim under Section 2.5. An example of an Efficiency Warranty calculation for purposes of a Section 2.5 claim is attached as Appendix E.

Section 2.8 Gas Payment Shortfall. During the Warranty Period, Operator shall perform such services on the Bloom Systems as shall cause the Efficiency Bank to maintain a positive balance at all times. If the Efficiency Bank reaches a balance of less than zero during the Warranty Period, Operator shall reimburse Owner for any Gas Payment Shortfall that Owner incurs within ten (10) days after Owner provides notice to Operator of such shortfall amount; provided that Operator’s cumulative aggregate liability under this Section 2.8 plus any payments required to be made by Operator under Section 2.5(c) shall not exceed an amount equal to (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of all Bloom Systems in the Portfolio during the applicable period and the purchase price under the December 30 Bill of Sale (inclusive of any amounts paid or for which a pending claim has been made for under the Gas Payment Shortfall under the MESPA), less (ii) the aggregate of all amounts paid by Operator (or claimed against Operator in the case of any claims that are pending at the time of such calculation) with respect to claims under Section 2.5(c) hereunder or Sections 8.2(b) and 8.3(c) of the MESPA. An example of a Gas Payment Shortfall calculation for purposes of a Section 2.8 claim is attached as Appendix F.

Section 2.9 Exclusions. The Facility Service Warranty shall not cover any obligations on the part of Operator caused by or arising from (a) Owner’s (as opposed to Operator, Operator’s Affiliate, the Service Provider or subcontractor acting as operator under this Agreement) failure to properly protect the Bloom Systems from vandalism or other third-party’s actions or omissions, (b) Owner’s (as opposed to Operator, Operator’s Affiliate, the Service Provider or subcontractor acting as operator under this Agreement) failure to use the specified input fuel; (c) Owner’s (as opposed to Operator, Operator’s Affiliate, the Service Provider or subcontractor acting as operator under this Agreement) removal of any safety devices, (d) any conditions caused by unforeseeable movement in the environment in which the Bloom Systems are installed, (e) accidents, abuse, neglect, improper third party testing, vandalism, Force Majeure Events or acts of third parties, (f) DPL’s failure to comply with Operator’s gas delivery, quality or pressure requirements, (g) installation, operation, repair or modification of the Bloom Systems by anyone other than Operator or (h) any defect in construction materials or workmanship of the BOF or any deficiency in design of the BOF by BE, provided that the exclusions in this clause (h) shall not extend to any Portfolio Warranty claim to the extent caused by or arising from (A) any defect in construction materials or workmanship of the BOF or (B) any deficiency in design of the BOF by BE, in each case during the period while either the Section 8.2(b) Warranty or the warranty under Section 2.5(c) is in effect. OPERATOR SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION UNDER THE FACILITY SERVICE WARRANTY AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AS TO FACILITIES WHICH HAVE BEEN OPENED OR MODIFIED BY OWNER OR ANYONE OTHER THAN OPERATOR, OPERATOR’S AFFILIATE, THE SERVICE PROVIDER OR SUBCONTRACTOR, ACTING AS OPERATOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY PERSON ACTING AS AN OPERATOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR AGREEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT) OR ANY OF SUCH PERSON’S REPRESENTATIVES.

Section 2.10 No Duplication of Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that all or any portion of the Facility Service Warranty, a Gas Payment Shortfall payment or any other warranty, guarantee or indemnification provision set forth herein is duplicative of any warranty, guarantee or indemnification coverage provided under the MESPA, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Owner shall be entitled to make only a single claim under either this Agreement or the MESPA, as applicable, and that limitations of liability set forth in each such agreement are to be calculated on an aggregate basis taking into account all claims for indemnification, warranty or otherwise (if any) made under this Agreement and the MESPA.

ARTICLE 6

INDEMNITY

Section 6.1 Indemnification of Operator by Owner. Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Operator, its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, Affiliates and agents (each, a “Operator Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses asserted against or suffered by any Operator Indemnitee arising out of any Third Party Claims against a Operator Indemnitee to the extent arising out of or in connection with (i) Owner’s breach of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement, (ii) the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of Owner or its subcontractors, agents or employees or others under Owner’s control or (iii) a breach by Owner of its obligations hereunder, provided that Owner shall have no obligation to indemnify Operator for any negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of any Operator Indemnitee or the breach by Operator of any Operator Indemnitee of its covenants and warranties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Section 6.2 Indemnification of Owner by Operator. Operator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Owner, its members, managers, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents (each, an “Owner Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses asserted against or suffered by any Owner Indemnitee arising out of any Third Party Claims against an Owner Indemnitee to the extent arising out of or in connection with (i) Operator’s breach of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement, (ii) the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of Operator or its subcontractors, agents or employees or others under Operator’s control or (iii) a breach by Operator of its obligations hereunder; provided that

Operator shall have no obligation to indemnify Owner for any negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of any Owner Indemnitee, the breach by Owner of its covenants and warranties under this Agreement or the inability to utilize any tax benefits (for the avoidance of doubt, the Grant is not considered a tax benefit).

Section 6.3 Indemnity Claims Procedure. If any indemnifiable claim is brought against a Party (the “Indemnified Party”), then the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall be entitled to participate in, and, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Indemnifying Party a conflict of interest between the Parties may exist with respect to such claim, assume the defense of such claim, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Indemnified Party, or if a conflict precludes the Indemnifying Party from assuming the defense, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party on a monthly basis for the Indemnified Party’s defense through separate counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choice. Even if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Party with acceptable counsel, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole option, may participate in the defense, at its own expense, with counsel of its own choice without relieving the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 6.4 No Duplication of Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that no claiming or indemnified party shall be entitled to a double recovery under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and the indemnification provisions of the MESPA.

ARTICLE 7

LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY

Section 7.1 Aggregate Limit of Liability.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall a Party be liable to the other Party for an aggregate amount in excess of the Maximum Liability; provided that such limitation of liability shall not apply to any liability that is the result of (i) gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of a Party, (ii) a Third Party Claim, (iii) the failure to pay the Service Fees (which amount shall not be included in calculating Owner’s Maximum Liability), (iv) a claim of Owner against BE or Operator in the event of any breach, default or misrepresentation of any representation and warranty or covenant set forth in Section 8.2(e) or (v) a claim of Owner against BE or Operator under Section 2.8.

disbursements in connection therewith) that would otherwise be included in the definition of Indemnifiable Losses because they result from a reduction in the profits of Owner, Diamond State Generation Holdings, LLC, or both, and (b) losses or liabilities incurred by the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, shareholders or Affiliates of such Party (unless on behalf of Owner).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, in no event shall Operator be liable under this Agreement (including with respect to its obligations related to the Facility Service Warranty, the Power Performance Warranty or Warranty Specification) for (i) any failure of or damage to the Bloom System or (ii) any obligations on the part of Operator (including internal rate of return or other financial metrics or any obligations to deliver power to Owner or service the Bloom System) caused by or arising from (A) Owner’s (as opposed to Operator or Operator’s Affiliate or subcontractor acting as operator under this Agreement) failure to properly protect the Bloom Systems from vandalism or other third-party’s actions or omissions, (B) Owner’s (as opposed to Operator or Operator’s Affiliate or subcontractor acting as operator under this Agreement) failure to use the specified input fuel; (C) Owner’s (as opposed to Operator or Operator’s Affiliate or subcontractor acting as operator under this Agreement) removal of any safety devices, (D) Force Majeure Events, (E) installation, operation, repair or modification of the Bloom Systems by anyone other than Operator or Operator’s authorized agents or Owner’s operator acting pursuant to a operating and maintenance agreement provided such operator is acting in accordance with Prudent Electrical Practices and information or materials supplied by Operator or its Affiliates, or (F) any defect in construction materials or workmanship of the BOF or any deficiency in design of the BOF by BE, provided that the exclusions in this clause (F) shall not extend to any warranty claim to the extent caused by or arising from (1) any defect in construction materials or workmanship of the BOF or (2) any deficiency in design of the BOF by BE, in each case during the period while the MESPA Section 8.2(b) Warranty is in effect. OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO BLOOM SYSTEMS OR THEIR COMPONENTS DUE TO THEIR OPENING OR MODIFICATION BY OWNER OR ANYONE OTHER THAN OPERATOR, OPERATOR’S AFFILIATE, THE SERVICE PROVIDER OR SUBCONTRACTOR, ACTING AS OPERATOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY PERSON ACTING AS AN OPERATOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR AGREEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT) OR ANY OF SUCH PERSON’S REPRESENTATIVES. Except for Owner’s payment of money to Operator, and subject to Section 9.19 hereof, neither Party shall be liable under any circumstance, nor be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement, for any delay or failure in performance or interruption of service resulting from any Force Majeure Event, or any other cause or causes which are beyond such Party’s reasonable control.

Section 9.2 Waiver of Compliance; Consents. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of any of the Parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the Party granting such waiver, but any such waiver of such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent failure to comply therewith.

EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO A DISPUTE AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT THERETO.

Section 9.7 Counterparts.

Section 9.10 Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, the MESPA and the exhibits, schedules, documents, certificates and instruments referred to herein and therein, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Each Party acknowledges that, in agreeing to enter into this Agreement, it has not relied on any representation, warranty, collateral contract or other assurance (except those repeated in this Agreement and any other agreement entered into on the date of this Agreement between the Parties) made by or on behalf of any other Party at any time before the signature of this Agreement. Each Party waives all rights and remedies which, but for this clause (b), might otherwise be available to it in respect of any such representation, warranty, collateral contract or other assurance.

Section 9.11 Construction of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement represent the results of negotiations between Owner and Operator, each of which has been represented by counsel of its own choosing, and neither of which has acted under duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and Owner and Operator hereby waive the application in connection with the interpretation and construction of this Agreement of any rule of law to the effect that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the Party whose attorney prepared the executed draft or any earlier draft of this Agreement.

Section 9.12 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.

Section 9.13 Attorneys’ Fees. If any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement or any provision hereof is brought by any Party, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the non prevailing Party its attorneys’ fees and its costs and expenses of suit, including actual attorneys’ and consultants’ fees. In the event that any Party secures a judgment in any proceeding brought to enforce or interpret this Agreement, then any cost of expense incurred in enforcing or in successfully appealing from such judgment, including actual attorneys’ fees shall be paid by the Party against whom such judgment has been rendered or against whom an appeal is won, and shall be recoverable separately from and in addition to any other amount included in such judgment.

Section 9.14 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 9.15 Independent Contractors. The Parties acknowledge that, save as expressly set out in this Agreement to the contrary, each Party is entering into this Agreement as an independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or applied so as to make the relationship of any of the Parties that of partners, joint ventures or anything other than independent contractors.

Section 9.16 No Contract for the Sale of Goods. Both Parties agree that this Agreement relates predominantly to the rendition of services accompanied only by the incidental sale of parts for the Bloom Systems; and therefore, this Agreement is not subject to the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code or any other commercial code for the sale of goods. The Parties expressly disclaim, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any and all provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of any state or other applicable law relating to the commercial sale of goods.

Section 9.17 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all matters contained in this Agreement.

Section 9.18 Confidentiality.

(a) Confidential Information. Subject to the other terms of this Section 9.18. the Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates and their respective stockholders, members, Subsidiaries and Representatives to, hold confidential all information they may have or obtain concerning Operator and Owner and their respective assets, business, operations or prospects or this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”), including, but not limited to, all software,

documentation, financial, marketing and nonpublic PJM Grid data and other business information, all data related to the internal design and performance of the Bloom Systems and any other material or information that is either marked as confidential or disclosed under circumstances that one would reasonably expect it to be confidential. Furthermore, Owner agrees that the Bloom Systems and services performed hereunder contain Operator’s valuable trade secrets, and further, Owner agrees to maintain the secrecy of and not disclose without the express written permission of Operator any trade secrets which Owner may have received from Operator; provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include information that (A) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by a Party or any of its Representatives or (B) is or becomes available to a Party or any of its Representatives on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the other Party or its Representatives.

(b) Legally Compelled Disclosure. Confidential Information may be disclosed (A) as required or requested to be disclosed by a Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective stockholders, members, subsidiaries or Representatives as a result of any applicable Legal Requirement or rule or regulation of any stock exchange, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or other regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Party, (B) as required or requested by the IRS, the Department of Justice or the Office of the Inspector General in connection with a Grant, or tax credits relating thereto, including in connection with a request for any private letter ruling, any determination letter or any audit, or (C) as reasonably required by the DPL Agreements, the PJM Agreements or the Tariffs. If a Party becomes compelled by legal or administrative process to disclose any Confidential Information, such Party shall, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, provide the other Party with prompt notice so that the other Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the non-disclosure provisions of this Section 9.18(b) with respect to the information required to be disclosed. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or such other Party waive compliance with the non-disclosure provisions of this Section 9.18(b) with respect to the information required to be disclosed, the first Party shall furnish only that portion of such information that it is advised, by opinion of counsel, is legally required to be furnished and shall exercise reasonable efforts, at the expense of the Party whose Confidential Information is being disclosed, to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information, including, in the case of disclosures to the IRS described in clause (B) above, to obtain reliable assurance that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, such information will not be made available for public inspection pursuant to Section 6110 of the Code.

(c) Disclosure to Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may disclose Confidential Information received by it to its actual or potential financing parties and its and their employees, consultants, legal counsel or agents who have a need to know such information; provided that such Party informs each such Person who has access to the Confidential Information of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information, the terms of this Agreement, and that such terms apply to them. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each such Person complies with the terms of this Agreement and that any Confidential Information received by such Person is kept confidential.

(d) Other Permitted Disclosures. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting a Party from using such Confidential Information in connection with (i) any claim against another Party and (ii) any exercise by a Party of any of its rights hereunder, (iii) a financing or proposed financing by Operator or Owner or their Affiliates; (iv) a disposition or proposed disposition by Operator or any Affiliate of Operator of all or a portion of such Person’s direct or indirect equity interest in Operator and (v) a disposition or proposed disposition by any direct or indirect Affiliate of Owner of all or a portion of such Person’s equity interests in Owner; provided that, in the case of items (iii), (iv) and (v), the potential purchaser has entered into a confidentiality agreement with respect to Confidential Information on customary terms used in confidentiality agreements in connection with corporate acquisitions before any such information may be disclosed and such confidentiality agreement has been provided to the non-disclosing Party.

Section 9.19 Force Majeure. If either Party is rendered wholly or partially unable to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a Force Majeure Event, that Party (the “Claiming Party”) will be excused from whatever performance is affected by the Force Majeure Event to the extent so affected; provided, however, that: (i) the Claiming Party, within a reasonable time after the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event gives the other Party notice describing the particulars of the occurrence; (ii) the suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required by the Force Majeure Event; (iii) no liability of either Party for an event that arose before the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event shall be excused as a result of the Force Majeure Event; (iv) the Claiming Party shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to correct or cure the event or condition excusing performance and resume performance of all its obligations; and (v) when the Claiming Party is able to resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Claiming Party shall promptly give the other Party notice to that effect and shall promptly resume performance.

Section 9.20 Right of Offset. Owner at its sole option is hereby authorized to setoff any amounts owed Owner under the MESPA or this Agreement, as applicable, against any amounts owed by Owner to Operator under the MESPA or this Agreement. The rights provided by this paragraph are in addition to and not in limitation of any other right or remedy (including any right to set-off, counterclaim, or otherwise withhold payment) to which a Owner may be entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

Section 9.21 No Liens. To the extent that Operator has actual knowledge that any of its subcontractors has placed any Lien on a Bloom System or the Site for such Bloom System, then Operator shall promptly cause such Liens to be removed or bonded over in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Owner.

Section 9.22 Insurance. At all times during the Term without cost to Owner, Operator shall maintain in force the following insurance, which insurance shall not be subject to cancellation, termination or other material adverse changes unless the insurer delivers to Owner

written notice of the cancellation, termination or change at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of the cancellation, termination or material adverse change:

(a) Worker’s Compensation Insurance as required by the laws of the state where Operator’s facilities are located;

(b) Employer’s liability insurance with limits not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); and

(c) Commercial General Liability Insurance, including bodily injury and property damage liability including premises operations, contractual liability endorsements, products liability and completed operations with limits not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

Operator shall cause Owner (and such additional parties as Owner designates in writing) to be named additional insured(s), must be written as primary policy not contributing to or in excess of any policies carried by the Owner, and each contain a waiver of subrogation endorsement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner, in favor of the Owner.
