(c)    Upon receipt from Buyer, Sellers shall have 45 days to review the Adjustment Statement (the “Review Period”).

If Sellers disagree with Buyer’s computation of the items set forth in the Adjustment Statement, Sellers shall, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a

written notice to Buyer (the “Notice of Objection”) that sets forth Sellers’ objections to Buyer’s calculation of such items.

(d)    If Sellers do not deliver a Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Review Period, Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted Buyer’s calculation of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Outstanding Debt, Swap Amount, Qualifying Net Income and Company Transaction Expenses, and such calculation shall be final, conclusive and binding. If Sellers deliver a Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Review Period, Buyer and Sellers shall, during the 45 days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine the amount of the disputed Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Outstanding Debt, Swap Amount, Qualifying Net Income or Company Transaction Expenses, as applicable. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, Buyer and Sellers are unable to resolve their disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to the New York office of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or if such office of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP refuses or is unable to serve in such a capacity, a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers or any individual who, in the reasonable determination of Buyer and Sellers, is qualified and capable to serve in the capacity for which such nationally recognized independent accounting firm would have served pursuant to this Section 2.4 (such office of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or such other firm or individual, the “Independent Expert”) it being acknowledged and agreed that any of the “big four” accounting firms will be considered qualified and capable to serve in such capacity. Buyer and Sellers shall instruct the Independent Expert promptly to review this Section 2.4, as well as the Adjustment Statement, Notice of Objection and any other materials reasonably requested by the Independent Expert, and to determine, solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Outstanding Debt, Swap Amount, Qualifying Net Income or Company Transaction Expenses, as applicable, set forth in the Adjustment Statement requires adjustment. The Independent Expert shall base its determination solely on written submissions by Buyer and Sellers and not on an independent review. Buyer and Sellers shall make available to the Independent Expert all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested by the Independent Expert. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after its retention, the Independent Expert shall deliver to Buyer and Sellers a report that sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of the items set forth on the Adjustment Statement; provided, however, that the Independent Expert may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, nor less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either the Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be allocated between Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the aggregate contested amount not awarded to Buyer on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Buyer and Sellers, as determined by the Independent Expert (for example, if the Sellers claim that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by the Buyer and the Independent Expert ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding to the Sellers $700 of the $1,000 disputed, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Expert, giving effect to any initial engagement fee already paid, will be allocated seventy percent (70%) (i.e., 700 ÷ 1,000) to the Buyer and thirty percent (30%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 1,000) to the Sellers). Buyer and Sellers agree to execute, if requested by the Independent Expert, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities in favor of the Independent Expert.

(e)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Closing Working Capital”, “Final Closing Cash Amount”, “Final Closing Outstanding Debt”, “Final Swap Amount”, “Final Qualifying Net Income” and “Final Company Transaction Expenses” mean the amount of such items (i) as shown in the Estimated Adjustment Statement delivered by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(a), if no Adjustment Statement with respect thereto is timely delivered by Buyer to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.4(b), (ii) as shown in the Adjustment Statement delivered by Buyer to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.4(b), if no Notice of Objection with respect thereto is timely delivered by Sellers to Buyers pursuant to Section 2.4(c) or (iii) if a Notice of Objection is so delivered, (A) as agreed by Buyer and Sellers pursuant to Section 2.4(d) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Independent Expert’s report delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(d).

(f)    Within three (3) Business Days after the Final Closing Working Capital, the Final Closing Cash Amount, the Final Closing Outstanding Debt, the Final Swap Amount, the Final Qualifying Net Income and the Final Company Transaction Expenses have been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4:

(i)    if the Final Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Estimated Closing Working Capital, minus (B) the Final Closing Working Capital;

(x)    if the Final Qualifying Net Income is greater than the Estimated Qualifying Net Income, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount Equal to (A) the Final Qualifying Net Income, minus (B) the Estimated Qualifying Net Income;

(xi)    if the Final Company Transaction Expenses are less than the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses, Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to (A) the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses, minus (B) the Final Company Transaction Expenses; and

(xii)    if the Final Company Transaction Expenses are greater than the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount Equal to (A) the Final Company Transaction Expenses, minus (B) the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses.

(g)    The amount of any payment to be made pursuant to Section 2.4 (f) shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to, but excluding, the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate.

If Sellers deliver an Earnout Calculation Dispute Notice within the Earnout Calculation Review Period, the Parties shall comply with the dispute resolution process set forth in Section 10.16 to finally determine the amount thereof, and the Earnout Calculation Review Period shall be deemed extended until such final determination has occurred. If Sellers do not deliver an Earnout Calculation Dispute Notice within the Earnout Calculation Review Period, or if Sellers provide written notice to Buyer at any time during the Earnout Calculation Review Period of its agreement with the Earnout Calculation Statement (the “Earnout Calculation Statement Confirmation”) then the amount of the Production Earnout Payment specified in the Earnout Calculation Statement shall be binding on the Parties.

The related expenses of the Independent Expert shall be shared equally by Buyer and Sellers. Each of Sellers and Buyer agrees and acknowledges that each shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) report the transactions contemplated herein to the applicable taxing authorities consistent with the Allocation Schedule mutually agreed upon (or as determined by the Independent Expert) pursuant to this Section 2.6, and that neither Sellers nor Buyer shall, absent mutual written agreement, challenge or dispute the allocations set forth in the final Allocation Schedule determined pursuant hereto, or file any Tax Return inconsistent therewith unless required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

(h)    Cooperation. Buyer and Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide to the other Party such cooperation and information, as and to the extent reasonably requested and reasonably necessary, in connection with (i) preparing, reviewing or filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund of or with respect to the Company Entities, (ii) determining liabilities for Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes of or with respect to the Company Entities or (iii) conducting any audit or other action with respect to Taxes of or with respect to the Company Entities.

From and after the Closing Date (i) the Company Entities shall cease to be insured by, have access or availability to, be entitled to make claims on, be entitled to claim benefits or seek coverage under, any of Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ insurance policies or any of their self-insured programs and (ii) Buyer shall be solely responsible for obtaining or providing insurance coverage for the Company Entities for any event or occurrence after the Closing sufficient to comply with any and all of the contractual and statutory obligations of the Company Entities.

Section 6.9    Support Obligations. At Buyer’s sole risk, cost and expense, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall replace each Support Obligation of or procured by Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates and set forth on Section 6.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and shall provide or cause to be provided all related certificates and legal opinions required in connection therewith, and Sellers shall cooperate (it being understood that such cooperation shall not include any requirement to pay any consideration or offer or grant any financial accommodation) in all reasonable respects with Buyer, to ensure that Sellers and their Affiliates (other than any Company Entity) shall be released from all obligations and liabilities relating to or arising under or out of or in connection with each Support Obligation upon the replacement of each respective Support Obligation. Except to the extent relating to or arising out of a breach by a Seller or any of its Affiliates (including any Company Entity) prior to the Closing, in the event that any of the foregoing Support Obligations of or procured by Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates is drawn upon after the Closing, Buyer shall promptly indemnify and reimburse the applicable Seller or Seller Affiliate for the amount of any such draw plus all other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.9, Buyer shall have no obligation to replace any Support Obligation if and to the extent the underlying obligation has been satisfied and the applicable Support Obligation is no longer required.

Section 6.10    Post-Closing Further Assurances.

(a)    Sellers and Buyer each agree that from time to time after the Closing Date, they shall execute and deliver or cause their respective Affiliates (including, with respect to Buyer, causing the Company Entities) to execute and deliver such further instruments, and take (or cause their respective Affiliates, including, with respect to Buyer, causing the Company Entities to take) such other action, as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b)    Without limiting the foregoing, each Seller agrees that from and after the Closing Date, such Seller shall (i) deliver to Buyer any books and records of any Company Entity which Buyer reasonable requests, as well as such certificates, documents and instruments that Buyer reasonably requests for the purpose of transitioning the ownership and signing authorization regarding bank accounts to Buyer and its Representatives; and (ii) cooperate with Buyer to ensure all actions shall have been taken as reasonably necessary to transfer to the applicable accounts of Buyer or its Affiliate each Project’s solar renewable energy certificate (SREC) account, including each applicable System Change Form for addresses and remittances. Upon Buyer’s request, Sellers agree to provide such consent and direction as Buyer may reasonably request to third party service providers to the Company Entities in connection with transition matters, including the delivery by the Company’s auditors of a consent to including their report with respect to the Company Entities’ financial statements in any filings required to be made by Buyer and its Affiliates with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.10(b) shall limit Buyer’s payment obligations under the Transition Services Agreement, to be entered into by Buyer and Soltage, LLC.

(c)    Without limiting Section 6.10(a) in any respect, Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Sellers within ten (10) Business Days of receiving any such amount, all payments received by the Company Entities after the Closing Date in respect of any Accounts Receivable (i) recorded prior to the Closing Date to the extent such Accounts Receivable are included but not assigned any value, (ii) collected more than 90 days after the date that such revenue is first recognized on the books and records of the Company Entities; and (iii) not included in the calculation of Current Assets on the Adjustment Statement (whether or not required to be included).

Section 6.11    Company Disclosure Schedule Update. At any time prior to the Closing, Sellers may supplement (in writing) the Company Disclosure Schedule with respect to any matter first arising after the Effective Date which, if existing on the Effective Date, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Company Disclosure Schedule in order to make the applicable representation or warranty (other than any Fundamental Representation) true and correct as of the Effective Date or the Closing Date, as applicable (each, a “Post-Signing Event”). In the event that the supplement reflects any Post-Signing Event that would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Sellers or a Material Adverse Effect on the Company Entities, taken as a whole (each, a “Material Post-Signing Event”), unless Buyer specifically consents thereto in writing, Buyer will be entitled to terminate this Agreement by delivery of a termination notice to Sellers within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery by Sellers of such supplemented Company Disclosure Schedules, and no Buyer Indemnified Party will have any claim in respect thereof (except in the case of Fraud). In the event Buyer does not terminate this Agreement in the event of such Material Post-Signing Event pursuant to this Section 6.11 (it being understood that the failure to deliver a timely notice of termination in accordance with this Section 6.11 will be deemed to be an election not to terminate), the delivery of any such supplemented Company Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall result in the Material Post-Signing Event disclosed thereunder to be deemed cured for purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.11, following the Closing, Buyer shall retain its right to indemnification for any breach of this

Agreement based on or arising from a Post Signing Event (other than a Material Post-Signing Event) under, and subject to the provisions of, Article VIII.

(a)    Subject to Buyer’s set-off rights under Section 8.6, Buyer Guarantor absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the “Guarantee”) to Sellers the performance and payment of the Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement through the Closing, and the payment obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement following the Closing, in each case when and as due (the “Guaranteed Obligation”). The Guarantee is one of payment, not collection, and a separate Action to enforce the Guarantee may be brought and prosecuted against Buyer Guarantor, irrespective of whether any Action is brought against the Buyer or any other Person or whether the Buyer and/or any other Person is joined in any such Action. The liability of Buyer Guarantor under the Guarantee shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (i) the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement against the Buyer; (ii) any release or discharge of any obligation of the Buyer under this Agreement resulting from any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Buyer, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Buyer or any of its assets; (iii) any amendment or modification of this Agreement, or any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligation or any other obligation of the Buyer hereunder, or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, alteration of, the Guaranteed Obligation or any other obligation of the Buyer hereunder, any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to, any departure from the terms of this Agreement or the documents entered into in connection herewith; or (iv) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Buyer Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of Buyer Guarantor as a matter of Law or equity, other than any defenses under this Agreement available to the Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer Guarantor shall in all events have the benefit of any rights (including defenses) to which the Buyer would be entitled under this Agreement, other than those described in clause (ii) above. Buyer Guarantor hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligation under the Guarantee and notice of or proof of reliance by Sellers upon the Guarantee or acceptance of the Guarantee. The Guaranteed Obligation under the Guarantee shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon the Guarantee, and all dealings between Buyer Guarantor and Sellers shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Guarantee. When Sellers are pursuing their rights and remedies hereunder against Buyer Guarantor, Sellers shall be under no obligation to pursue any rights and remedies they may have against the Buyer or any other Person for the Guaranteed Obligation or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Sellers to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Buyer or any other Person or to realize upon or to exercise any such right of offset, and any release by Sellers of the Buyer or any other Person or any Seller’s right of offset, shall not relieve Buyer Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies of Sellers, whether express, implied or available as a matter of Law. Sellers shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guaranteed Obligation in the event that the Buyer or Buyer Guarantor becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Sellers to so file shall not affect Buyer Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to Sellers in respect of the Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, Buyer Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Obligation as if such payment had not been made. Buyer Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance, presentment, demand, protest and any notice in respect of the Guarantee not provided for herein. Buyer Guarantor may not exercise any rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under bankruptcy or insolvency Laws) or otherwise, by reason of any payment by it in respect of the

Guarantee unless and until the Guaranteed Obligation has been paid in full. Buyer Guarantor has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligation hereunder to pay, when and if due, the Guaranteed Obligation. The execution, and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance by Buyer Guarantor of its obligation to pay, when and if due, the Guaranteed Obligation, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Buyer Guarantor, and no other action is necessary on the part of Buyer Guarantor to authorize this Agreement or the payment, when due, of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Buyer Guarantor and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by each other party hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer Guarantor, enforceable against Buyer Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exception as applicable to Buyer Guarantor. Buyer Guarantor has, and through the Termination Date will have, capital or available capital commitments which together are sufficient to enable it to satisfy its obligations under this Section 6.12, and Buyer Guarantor shall not take any action to make such capital not available and knows of no fact or circumstance that would cause such capital to not be available.

(b)    The Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on Buyer Guarantor until the Buyer has satisfied all of its obligations under this Agreement, and after such occurrence, the Guarantee shall automatically terminate, shall have no further force and effect, and shall no longer be binding on Buyer Guarantor. Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, the Guarantee shall survive in full force and effect and shall be binding on Buyer Guarantor until the later of (i) 90 days from the date of such termination and (ii) the final, non-appealable and conclusive resolution of any and all claims brought under this Agreement.

(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.12 shall apply in respect of the obligations of the applicable Permitted Assignee as successor in interest to Buyer if at any time Buyer assigns its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to a Permitted Assignee as provided in Section 10.02 (the “Successor Buyer”).In such event, each reference to Buyer in this Section 6.12 shall be interpreted as a reference to Successor Buyer.

Section 6.13    Compliance with NJ Bulk Sales Law. Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parties, Sellers shall provide to Buyer such information as Buyer may request in order to permit Buyer to file in a timely manner with the Bulk Sale Section of the New Jersey Division of Taxation (the “NJ Division”) a Notification of Sale, Transfer, or Assignment in Bulk (C-9600) to the extent required by the NJ Bulk Sales Law. Thereafter the Parties agree to cooperate in establishing any escrow of such portion of the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing that may be required by the NJ Division in accordance with the NJ Bulk Sales Law. The Parties further agree to use efforts commercially reasonable to avoid the imposition of such an escrow under NJ Bulk Sales Law.

(i)    severally in proportion to the portion of the Purchase Price received by each of them and not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and its Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, monetary penalties, costs, charges, Taxes, fees, interest and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other out-of-pocket expenses (collectively, “Losses”) incurred in connection with or arising out of or resulting from (a) the breach or

Section 8.3    Indemnification Procedure.

(a)    Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement shall, within the period provided in Section 8.1, give the applicable indemnifying Party written notice describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claims for indemnification hereunder (a “Claim Notice”) and shall include in the Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement upon which such claim is based; provided that a Claim Notice in respect of any action by or against a third party as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the Indemnified Party receives written notice of the commencement of such action or suit. The failure of an Indemnified Party to provide a Claim Notice with respect to a third-party claim shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of any liability, except to the extent the indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such third-party claim is actually and materially prejudiced as result thereof.

(b)    From and after the receipt of the Claim Notice in respect of a third-party claim (excluding any claims relating to Taxes which shall be controlled in accordance with Section 6.7(d)), the indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own cost, to assume and conduct the defense in its own name or in the names of the Indemnified Parties if the indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties in respect of such third-party claim. The Indemnified Party shall make available all information and assistance reasonably available and necessary for the defense of such third-party claim as the indemnifying Party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party in such defense. Any Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such third-party claim and/or to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be included as part of any Loss incurred by the Indemnified Party and shall not be payable by the indemnifying Party; provided that the indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have control over, at the indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any third-party claim (i) if the indemnifying Party shall have failed to acknowledge its indemnification obligations hereunder, (ii) if the indemnifying Party fails to employ counsel with requisite experience and resources with regard to the defense of such third party claim, (iii) if the Indemnified Party, based on advice of reputable counsel with appropriate experience to the Indemnified Party, shall have concluded that there are defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying Party, (iv) if the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Party that there is a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel, (v) to the extent the third-party claim alleges criminal wrongdoing or seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party, or (vi) if the third-party claim seeks damages in excess of the applicable limitation of liability set forth in Section 8.4(e). The party or parties conducting the defense:

(i)    shall keep the other parties reasonably informed as to the status of such matter and shall promptly send copies of all pleadings; and

(ii)    shall not enter into any settlement, compromise or consent to judgment without the prior consent of the other Party; provided that the indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle, compromise or consent to a judgment without the consent of the Indemnified Party that only imposes monetary obligations that are paid by the indemnifying Party and contains a release of the Indemnified Party from all liability thereunder.

Section 8.4    Measure of and Limitations upon Indemnification.

(a)    The amount of Sellers’ or Buyer’s respective liability under this Agreement shall be calculated after giving effect to any amounts actually recovered from third parties, including insurance proceeds, in each case net of the reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with such recoveries. If any insurance proceeds or other recoveries from third parties are actually realized (in each case calculated net of the reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with such recoveries) by an Indemnified Party subsequent to the receipt by such Indemnified Party of an indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds, or third-party recoveries relate, the Indemnified Party shall hold such amounts in trust and appropriate refunds shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party regarding the amount of such indemnification payment. (not to exceed the amount received from the indemnifying Party).

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under clause (a) of Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.2(a)(ii) in connection with any item or group of related items that results in Losses incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party for which it would otherwise be entitled to indemnification hereunder of less than $62,500 (“De Minimis Losses”). In addition, Sellers shall not have any liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by Buyer Indemnified Parties for which they are entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any De Minimis Losses) equals or exceeds $487,500 (the “Deductible Amount”), in which event the indemnifying Party shall be liable for Losses only to the extent they are in excess of the Deductible Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the De Minimis Losses limitation nor the Deductible Amount limitation shall apply in the case of any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Fundamental Representations or Fraud.

(c)    For purposes of this Article VIII (including for purposes of determining the existence of any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representation or warranty and for calculating the amount of any Loss with respect thereto), any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

(d)    The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Sellers, and any Buyer Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Buyer Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Buyer Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or had reason to know that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of a Buyer Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.1, as applicable.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except in the case of the breach of or inaccuracy in Fundamental Representations, any Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to clause (c) of Section 8.2(a)(i) in respect of the recapture of any investment tax credit pursuant to the Tax Equity Documents relating to Holdco 6, Holdco 7 or Holdco 7A, or relating to Holdco 8 to the extent based on any event occurring prior to the Closing Date, and Fraud, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Sellers shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall not exceed $4,000,000. The aggregate amount of Losses resulting from the breach of Fundamental Representations for which Sellers shall be liable shall not exceed the amount of the Purchase Price received by the respective Sellers. The aggregate amount of Losses resulting from Fraud for which Sellers shall be liable shall not be limited.

(f)    Any Losses payable to Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be satisfied solely as a deduction from the Production Earnout Payment in accordance with Section 8.6.

The aggregate amount of Losses resulting from Fraud for which Buyer shall be liable shall not be limited.

(c)    Except for the express obligations of Sellers under this Agreement, for and in consideration of the Company Interests, effective as of the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its direct and indirect equityholders, Subsidiaries, Affiliates and direct and indirect parent companies, and the Representatives and direct and indirect equityholders of any of the following and each of their respective successors and assigns (each a “Releasor”), hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Sellers and their past, present and future equityholders, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, and each of the present and former Representatives, equityholders and control persons of any of the foregoing, and each of the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Releasee”) of, from and against any and all Actions, causes of action, claims, demands, Damages, judgments, liabilities, debts, dues and actions of every kind, nature and description whatsoever, whether known or unknown, both in Law and in equity, in each case to the extent arising out of or resulting from Sellers’ or such Releasees ownership or operation of the Company Entities or the assets, business, operations, conduct, services or products of any of the Company Entities (or its predecessors), whether related to any period of time before or after the Closing, including any liabilities under Environmental Law. Each Releasor agrees not to, and agrees to cause its respective equityholders, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, Representatives direct and indirect parent companies and each of their respective successors and assigns, not to, assert any claim against the Releasees; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Releasor releases its rights and interests under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any rights it may have under applicable Law with respect to Fraud.

(d)    From and after the Closing, except as provided in this Agreement, all rights or remedies that Buyer may have against any Releasee (i) with respect to adverse matters, including contingent liabilities, defects (legal or otherwise) and adverse physical or environmental conditions, that may not have been revealed by Buyer’s investigations of the Real Property in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) at or under Environmental Laws or with respect to any liabilities under Environmental Laws or any other environmental matters relating to the Company Entities are waived. From and after the Closing, except as provided in this Agreement, Buyer does hereby agree, warrant and covenant to (and shall cause the Company Entities to) release, acquit, forever discharge and hold harmless the Releasees from any and all Damages, including all claims, demands and causes of action for contribution and indemnity under statute or common law, that Buyer may have asserted or alleged or are or could be asserted or alleged now or in the future against any Releasee in regard to the Real Property by reason of or arising out of the physical or environmental condition thereof, violations of applicable laws and any and all other acts, omissions, events, circumstances or matters relating to the foregoing or that relate to or in any way arise pursuant to Environmental Laws or out of liabilities under Environmental Laws or any other environmental matters of the Company Entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor any other Releasor releases any right or interests under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(e)    Effective as of the Closing, Sellers, for themselves and on behalf of their Affiliates and their and their Affiliates’ respective Representatives, successors and assigns, hereby forever release, acquit and discharge, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company Entities and their past or present Representatives, as well as their present and future equityholders, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, and each of the future Representatives, equityholders and control persons of any of the foregoing, and each of the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing, from and against any and all liabilities which Sellers and any such Affiliate, Representative, successor or assign ever had, now has or may have, known or unknown, by reason of any fact, event, occurrence, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising on or prior to the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing, Sellers, for themselves and on behalf of their Affiliates and their and their Affiliates’ respective Representatives, successors and assigns agree not to assert any claim, and to cause each of their Affiliates and their and their Affiliates’ respective Representatives, successors and assigns not to

assert any claim, against any Company Entity or any of its past or present Representatives in respect thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers do not release their rights and interests under the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

Section 8.6    Set-off Rights. Buyer shall have the right to withhold, from any payment of the Production Earnout Payment otherwise due and payable under this Agreement, the full amount of any then-outstanding claims against Sellers (or any portion thereof) that are asserted by a Buyer Indemnified Party in good faith under this Agreement; provided any such withholding shall be subject to delivery to Sellers by Buyer or such Buyer Indemnified Party of a reasonably detailed statement of the basis for such claim; and provided, further, the amount of any such withholding shall be after giving full effect to the limitations set forth in Section 8.4. Upon final resolution of such claims, Buyer (i) shall promptly offset the amount then due to Buyer Indemnified Parties, if any, in respect of such claims against the amount so withheld, and (ii) shall promptly pay to Sellers any amount by which the amount withheld pursuant to the foregoing exceeds the aggregate liability of Sellers for such claims. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any claim subject of this Section 8.6 cannot be satisfied by withholding payment of a portion of the Production Earnout Payment due and payable on a specific payment date under the terms of this Agreement, Buyer reserves the right to withhold the remaining portion of any such outstanding claim on subsequent payment dates until satisfied in full.

Section 8.7    Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, the remedies set forth in this Article VIII and Section 10.12 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than to the extent any such claims are based on Fraud) relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 9.1    Termination Events. Without prejudice to other remedies which may be available to the Parties by Law or this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)    by mutual written consent of Sellers and Buyer;

(b)    by either Sellers or Buyer by giving written notice to the other Party if the Closing shall not have occurred by the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”), unless extended by written agreement of Sellers and Buyer; provided, however, that if the only conditions that have not been satisfied or waived as of the Termination Date are the obtaining of any Consents from any Governmental Authority, the Termination Date shall be automatically extended for an additional sixty (60) days; and provided, further, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this subsection (b) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of its obligations under this Agreement has been a cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated by such time;

(c)    by either Sellers or Buyer by giving written notice to the other Party if such other Party has breached its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations hereunder in a manner that renders impossible the satisfaction of any condition of such Party giving notice set forth in Article VII not to be satisfied and such breach is incapable of being cured; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this subsection (c) shall not be available to any Party who is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations hereunder;

(d)    by either Sellers or Buyer by giving written notice to the other Party if any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order or other action shall not be subject to appeal or shall have become final and unappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this subsection (d) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of its obligations under this Agreement has been a cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated by such time;

(e)    by Sellers if (i) all the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied (and continue to be satisfied) or irrevocably waived (other than any such conditions which by their terms are not capable of being satisfied until the Closing Date) and (ii) Buyer does not consummate the transactions contemplated hereby within five (5) Business Days following the day the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.2;

(f)    by Buyer if (i) all the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied (and continue to be satisfied) or irrevocably waived (other than any such conditions which by their terms are not capable of being satisfied until the Closing Date) and (ii) Sellers do not consummate the transactions contemplated hereby within five (5) Business Days of the day the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.2; or

(g)    by Buyer in accordance with Section 6.11.

Section 9.2    Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any liability on the part of either Party or its Affiliates in respect thereof, except that (i) provisions of, and the obligations of Buyer and Sellers under, Section 6.2(b), Section 6.5, this Article IX and Article X of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) such termination shall not relieve any Party of any liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

Section 10.2    Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign (by contract, stock sale, operation of Law or otherwise) either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the express prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment, without such consent, shall be null and void; provided that Buyer may, without the prior written consent of, but with notice to, each other Party, assign this Agreement or its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder to (i) any of Buyer’s lenders as collateral in connection with any financing transaction, or (ii) any Permitted Assignee.

Section 10.4    Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in a written instrument executed by each of the Parties. No waiver by any of the Parties of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No waiver by

any of the Parties of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the Party sought to be charged with such waiver.

Section 10.5    Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules and the Disclosure Schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Except as otherwise provided in the Company Disclosure Schedule, all capitalized terms therein shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement. Matters reflected in the Company Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be disclosed. No disclosure made in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall constitute an admission or determination that any fact or matter so disclosed is material, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any of the Company Entities, meets a dollar or other threshold set forth in this Agreement or would otherwise be required to be disclosed, and no Person shall use the fact of the setting of a threshold or the inclusion of such facts or matters in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, amount, fact or matter is or is not material, is or is not material, is or is not in excess of a dollar or other threshold or would otherwise be required to be disclosed, for purposes of this Agreement. Information disclosed in any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule delivered will qualify any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement to the extent that the relevance or applicability of such information is reasonably apparent on its face, notwithstanding the absence of a reference or cross-reference to such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in such Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or the absence of a reference or cross-reference to such Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule in such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. No disclosure in the Company Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

Section 10.6    Headings. The table of contents and section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement or affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.7    Joint Preparation of Agreement. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.8    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and the Exhibits hereto), the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior understandings, negotiations, agreements, or representations among the Parties of any nature, whether written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or thereof.

Section 10.9    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect, all other provisions of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the material provisions and intent of this Agreement remain unaffected. Upon such determination that any provision, or the application of any such provision, is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are

fulfilled to the greatest extent possible. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, under no circumstance shall the obligation of Sellers to deliver the Company Interests be enforceable absent enforceability of the obligation of Buyer to pay the Purchase Price, and vice versa.

Section 10.10    Expenses.

(a)    Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, the Parties shall bear their respective costs and expenses connection with the preparation, execution, and performance of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of agents, Representatives, counsel and accountants.

(b)    Any fees, costs or expenses paid or payable to third parties (excluding any Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Party) incurred in connection with obtaining any Consent required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby except for fees and disbursements of Representatives employed by the respective Parties shall be borne by Buyer.

(c)    Unless otherwise provided herein, including as provided in Section 2.4, each of Buyer and Sellers agrees to pay, without right of reimbursement from the other, all costs and expenses incurred by it incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants, financial advisors, experts and consultants employed by the respective Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated.

Section 10.11    No Recourse Against Non-Recourse Persons. All claims, obligations, liabilities, or Actions (whether in contract or in tort, in equity or at Law, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and are those solely of) the entities that are expressly identified as “Parties” in the preamble to this Agreement (the “Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any past, present or future Representative, incorporator, equityholder or Affiliate of such Contracting Party or any past, present or future Representative, incorporator, equityholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (the “Non-Recourse Persons”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in equity or at Law, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or in its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, Actions and obligations against any such Non-Recourse Persons. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or Actions that may otherwise be available in equity or at Law, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any Non-Recourse Persons, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise; and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Non-Recourse Persons with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.

Section 10.12    Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) each Party recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement shall cause the other Party to sustain irreparable harm for which it would not have an adequate remedy at Law, and therefore in the event of any such

breach the aggrieved Party shall, without the posting of bond or other security (any requirement for which the Parties hereby waive), be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agreements, including injunctive and other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedy to which it might be entitled, (ii) a Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and (iii) in the event that any Action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 10.13    Legal Representation.

(a)    It is acknowledged by each of the Parties that Winston & Strawn LLP and Foley Hoag LLP (collectively, “Sellers’ Counsel”) have acted as legal counsel to the Company Entities and Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that Sellers’ Counsel has not acted as counsel for any other Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that none of the other Parties has the status of a client of any of Sellers’ Counsel for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Sellers and Buyer hereby agree that, in the event that any dispute, or any other matter in which the interests of Sellers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company Entities), on the other hand, are adverse, arises after the Closing between Buyer or the Company Entities, on the one hand, and Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, Sellers’ Counsel may represent any or all of Sellers and their Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of Sellers and their Affiliates may be directly adverse to Buyer or the Company Entities, and even though Sellers’ Counsel formerly may have represented the Company Entities in any matter substantially related to such dispute.

(b)    Sellers and their Affiliates and Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company Entities following the Closing with respect to Buyer), acknowledge and agree that, in connection with any future disputes, lawsuits, actions, proceedings, investigations or other matters, including any dispute between Buyer, the Company Entities or any of its or their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Sellers or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, or with or between any other Persons, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) as to all communications among Sellers’ Counsel, the Company Entities, Sellers or any of their Affiliates, the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection and the expectation of client confidence related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement belongs solely to Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Company Entities), and may be controlled by Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Company Entities), and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, the Company Entities, or any of their respective Affiliates and (ii) Sellers’ Counsel may disclose to Sellers or their Affiliates any information learned by Sellers’ Counsel in the course of its representation of Sellers, the Company Entities or their respective Affiliates related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not such information is subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, of Sellers’ Counsel’s duty of confidentiality. Accordingly, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Sellers’ Counsel, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (A) to the extent that files of Sellers’ Counsel constitute property of the client, only Sellers and their Affiliates shall hold such property rights and (B) Sellers’ Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to Buyer or the Company Entities by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Sellers’ Counsel and the Company Entities or otherwise.

(c)    If and to the extent that, at any time subsequent to Closing, Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Entities) shall have the right to assert or waive any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between the Company Entities or its Affiliates and any Person representing them related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that occurred at any time prior to the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates

(including the Company Entities), shall be entitled to waive such privilege only with the consent of Sellers.

Section 10.14    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Law of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that might require the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.15    Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)    The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State and County of New York with respect to any Action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or any document or instrument delivered at Closing. Each of the Parties agrees to commence any Action or proceeding relating hereto in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or if such Action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the state courts, in each case located in the State and County of New York. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the state courts or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in each case located in the State and County of New York, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum or to raise any similar defense or objection.

(b)    EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 10.16    Independent Engineer Dispute Resolution. Upon Sellers’ delivery to Buyer within the Earnout Calculation Review Period of an Earnout Calculation Dispute Notice, Buyer and Sellers shall, during the 45 days following the delivery of the Earnout Calculation Dispute Notice or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on the Earnout Calculation Dispute in order to determine the amount of the Production Earnout Payment. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, Buyer and Sellers are unable to resolve their disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to the Denver office of Luminate, LLC or if such office of Luminate, LLC refuses or is unable to serve in such a capacity, a nationally recognized independent engineer mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers (such office of Luminate, LLC or such other independent engineer, the “Independent Engineer”). Buyer and Sellers shall instruct the Independent Engineer promptly to review Section 2.5 and this Section 10.16, as well as the Earnout Calculation Statement, Earnout Calculation Dispute Notice and any other materials reasonably requested by the Independent Engineer, and to determine whether and to what extent, if any, the Production Earnout Payment set forth in the Earnout Calculation Statement requires adjustment. The Independent Engineer shall base its determination solely on written submissions by Buyer and Sellers and not on an independent review. Buyer and Sellers shall make available to the Independent Engineer all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested by the Independent Engineer. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after its retention, the Independent Engineer shall deliver to Buyer and Sellers a report that sets forth its resolution of the Earnout Calculation Dispute and its calculation of the Production Earnout

Payment; provided, however, that the Independent Engineer may not assign a value to the Production Earnout Payment greater than the greatest value for the Production Earnout Payment claimed by Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, nor less than the smallest value for the Production Earnout Payment claimed by either the Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand. The decision of the Independent Engineer shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The costs and expenses of the Independent Engineer shall be allocated between Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the aggregate contested amount not awarded to Buyer on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Buyer and Sellers, as determined by the Independent Engineer (for example, if the Sellers claim that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by the Buyer and the Independent Engineer ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding to the Sellers $700 of the $1,000 disputed, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Engineer, giving effect to any initial engagement fee already paid, will be allocated seventy percent (70%) (i.e., 700 ÷ 1,000) to the Buyer and thirty percent (30%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 1,000) to the Sellers). Buyer and Sellers agree to execute, if requested by the Independent Engineer, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities in favor of the Independent Engineer. For the avoidance of doubt, any determination by the Independent Engineer pursuant to this Section 10.16 shall be strictly limited to the calculation of the Production Earnout Payment and no other matters, including the validity or invalidity of the withholding of any amount from any payment of the Production Earnout Payment pursuant to Section 8.6.

Section 10.17    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The delivery of this Agreement may be effected by means of an exchange of facsimile or electronically transmitted copies or an exchange of facsimile or electronically transmitted signatures, and any such copies or signatures, shall, for all purposes, be deemed originals.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first above written.
