WHEREAS, QSP owns all of the issued and outstanding common units, as set forth on Schedule I hereto, in Newlight Blocker (all such common units in Newlight Blocker, the Newlight Blocker Contributed Interests and, together with the GA Blocker Contributed Interests, the Contributed Interests).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Contribution of Contributed Interests and Issuance of Exchange Shares.
(a) Each of GA Interholdco and QSP shall contribute, transfer and assign (or cause to be contributed, transferred and assigned) to OSH Inc. all of such Contributing Investors right, title and interests in all of the Contributed Interests held by such Contributing Investor and in exchange for such Contributed Interests, OSH Inc. shall issue to such Contributing Investor the number of Exchange Shares set forth opposite such Contributing Investors name on Schedule I hereto, free and clear of any lien, charge, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, right of first refusal, preemptive right or other restriction.
(b) The issuance of the Exchange Shares to each of the Contributing Investors hereunder is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
(c) The Exchange Shares will continue to be Exchange Shares for purposes of this Agreement in the hands of any holder other than a Contributing Investor (except for OSH Inc. or its subsidiaries and except for transferees in a public offering), and except as otherwise provided herein, each such other holder of the Exchange Shares will succeed to all rights and obligations attributable to such Contributing Investor as a holder of the Exchange Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The Exchange Shares will also include units of OSH Inc.s equity interests issued with respect to the Exchange Shares by way of a split, dividend, distribution or other recapitalization.
2. Representations and Warranties of OSH Inc. In connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, OSH Inc. represents and warrants to each Contributing Investor that:
(a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by OSH Inc. and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of OSH Inc., enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and general equitable principles. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the receipt of the Contributed Interests by OSH Inc. do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (ii) constitute a default under, (iii) result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or lien upon such Contributed Interests pursuant to, (iv) give any third party the right to modify, terminate or accelerate any obligation under, (v) result in a violation of or (vi) require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice to any governmental authority pursuant to, any law to which OSH Inc. is subject, or any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which OSH Inc. is a party or by which OSH Inc. is bound.
(b) The Exchange Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
3. Representations and Warranties of each Contributing Investor.
(a) In connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, each Contributing Investor represents and warrants to OSH Inc. that:
(i) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by such Contributing Investor and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Contributing Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and general equitable principles. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the delivery of the Contributed Interests to OSH Inc. by such Contributing Investor do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (ii) constitute a default under, (iii) result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or lien upon such Contributed Interests pursuant to, (iv) give any third party the right to modify, terminate or accelerate any obligation under, (v) result in a violation of or (vi) require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice to any governmental authority pursuant to, any law to which such Contributing Investor is subject, or any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which such Contributing Investor is a party or by which such Contributing Investor is bound.
(ii) The Exchange Shares to be acquired by such Contributing Investor pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for such Contributing Investors own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Exchange Shares will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.
(iii) Such Contributing Investor is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Exchange Shares.
(iv) Such Contributing Investor is able to bear the economic risk of such Contributing Investors investment in the Exchange Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Exchange Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
2
(b) In connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, each GA Interholdco represents and warrants to OSH Inc. that prior to the contribution of Contributed Interests as contemplated in Section 1 hereof, GA Interholdco has capitalized GA Blocker in order to remove a portion of the outstanding shareholder debt. Any outstanding shareholder debt held by the GA Blocker which shall not be capitalized pursuant to this Section 3(b) is set forth in Schedule II hereto, and each such debt instrument has a term to maturity of less than five years.
4. Treatment of Uncapitalized GA Blocker Debt Instruments. OSH Inc. shall (i) treat each debt instrument identified on Schedule II hereto as indebtedness of GA Blocker for federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes and (ii) file all applicable Tax Returns consistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by a change in applicable Law.
5. Transferability. Each of the Contributing Investors acknowledges that the Exchange Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions.
6. Fractional Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no fractional Exchange Shares shall be issued upon the exchange or conversion of any Contributed Interests and in lieu of the issuance of any such fractional Exchange Shares, the aggregate number of Exchange Shares to be issued to the holder of such Contributed Interests shall be rounded up to the first whole Exchange Share. The parties hereto acknowledge that such rounding in lieu of issuing fractional Exchange Shares is not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional Exchange Shares.
7. Notices. Any notice, request, demand, claim or other communication required or permitted to be delivered, given or otherwise provided under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered personally, delivered by nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by email. Any such notice, request, demand, claim or other communication shall be deemed to have been delivered and given (a) when delivered, if delivered personally, (b) the business day after it is deposited with such nationally recognized overnight courier service, if sent for overnight delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or (c) the day of sending, if sent by email prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any Business Day or the next succeeding Business Day if sent by email after 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any Business Day or on any day other than a Business Day:

(c) Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .peg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an Electronic Delivery) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto, each other party or thereto shall re-execute the original form of this Agreement (i.e. the form fully executed by all of the parties) and deliver such form to all other parties.
