The result of such review and re-calculation shall be final and binding on Buyer and Seller and shall be reflected in a definitive final statement of the applicable True-Up Date Balance Sheet, True-Up Date Working Capital Amount and/or the applicable True-Up Date Working Capital Adjustment, which shall be deemed to be the applicable Final Working Capital Adjustment.

7.2.2    Buyer hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and each of their respective parents, Affiliates, directors, officers and employees (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Group”) from and against all Damages of any nature whatsoever asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by any member of the Seller Indemnified Group arising out of or resulting from a (i) breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, (ii) a breach of any covenant, agreement

-66-     MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AND
SALE AGREEMENT (PROJECT BANG)



or other obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement and (iii) any claim for fraud or willful misconduct of Buyer relating to the transactions contemplated thereby.
7.2.3    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any certificate or schedule that are qualified as to “material,” “material respects,” “material adverse effects,” or words of similar import or effect shall be deemed to have been made without any such qualifications solely for purposes of determining the amount of Damages resulting from any such breach of representation or warranty.
7.2.4    (i) In no event shall the obligation of Seller Indemnitors to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Group (x) (1) pursuant to Section 7.2.1(i) (other than for Fundamental Representations) or (2) pursuant to Section 7.2.1(iv) (with respect to the ITC Recapture Liability) exceed, an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price that has actually been paid to date under this Agreement, or (y) pursuant to Section 7.2.1(i) (for Fundamental Representations), 7.2.1(ii), 7.2.1(v), 7.2.1(vi), 7.2.1(vii) and/or 7.2.1(viii) exceed the Purchase Price that has actually been paid to date under this Agreement; and (ii) in no event shall Buyer’s obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Group (x) pursuant to Section 7.2.2(i) exceed an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price that has actually been paid to date under this Agreement or (y) pursuant to Section 7.2.2(ii) exceed the aggregate Purchase Price that has actually been paid to date under this Agreement; provided, that the preceding limitations of liability in this sentence shall not apply to (A) Damages resulting from fraud or willful misconduct, including any Damages arising under Section 7.2.1(iii) or Section 7.2.2(iii) or (B) any failure of Buyer to pay the Purchase Price with respect to any Individual Portfolio or any failure of any Portfolio Entity, Seller or Buyer to pay any other amount required to be paid by such Person under this Agreement or any Project Contract to which it is a party; provided, further, that, for purposes of calculating the limitations of liability in this Section 7.2.4, if recovery by the Buyer Indemnified Group at any time is limited by reason of such limitations on the percentage of Purchase Price or amount of aggregate Purchase Price, as applicable, and additional Purchase Price is later payable due to a subsequent Closing, then the Buyer Indemnified Group can set-off and withhold a portion of any such additional Purchase Price by an amount that would allow the Buyer to recover up to the amount (in the aggregate) that would reach the new limit taking into account the additional Purchase Price being paid.
7.2.5    Seller Indemnitors shall not have any obligations to indemnify (a) pursuant to Section 7.2.1(i) (other than for Fundamental Representations) or (b) pursuant to Section 7.2.1(iv) (with respect to the ITC Recapture Liability), in each case until Damages in the aggregate exceed 0.50 % of the Purchase Price that has actually been paid to date under this Agreement (the “Threshold”), after which Seller Indemnitors shall be liable for the full amount of such Damages, including the portion below the Threshold. Buyer Indemnitors shall not have any obligations to indemnify pursuant to Section 7.2.2(i) until Damages in the aggregate exceed the Threshold, after which Buyer Indemnitors shall be liable for the full amount of such Damages, including the portion below the Threshold. Once the Threshold has been met at any given point in time, no additional payments of the Purchase Price shall require any additional recalculations of the Threshold.

-67-     MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AND
SALE AGREEMENT (PROJECT BANG)



7.2.6    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any liability for indemnification under this Section 7.2 shall be determined without duplication of recovery. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, if a condition, event or circumstance constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is subject to indemnification under this Section 7.2 or constitutes a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by any member of Seller Indemnified Party under any Contract for which such Seller Indemnified Party has liability, only one recovery of damages shall be allowed and such recovery shall count against any limitation of or cap on liability set forth in any such Contract.
7.2.7    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, any indemnity obligations (a) of Seller Indemnitors under Sections 7.2.1(ii)-(viii) and (b) of Buyer under Sections 7.2.2(ii)-(iii), respectively, shall survive until six months after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period.
7.3 Holdback Claims. If Seller does not dispute a claim made by Buyer against Seller for any amounts due by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Article 7, Buyer shall be entitled, at Buyer’s option, to retain an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the undisputed claim from any Holdback Amount relating to the Closings that have occurred to date, in which case such Holdback Amount shall be reduced by the retained amount. If Seller disputes a claim made by Buyer against Seller for any amounts due by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Article 7 in accordance with this Article 7, then upon final determination of liability (or a settlement between the Parties) with respect to such claim in accordance with this Article 7, Buyer shall be entitled, at Buyer’s option, to retain an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the undisputed claim from any Holdback Amount relating to the Closings that have occurred to date, automatically in which case such Holdback Amount shall be reduced by the retained amount. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, any reduction of any Holdback Amount applied in accordance with this Section 7.3 shall not be included for the purposes of calculating any limitation of liability of the Seller under Section 7.2.4.
7.4 Indemnification Procedures. Except with respect to the Tax indemnification set forth in Section 6.8):
7.4.1 If a claim arises against a person entitled to indemnification hereunder that such person intends to assert as an indemnifiable claim under Section 7.2, in order to assert an indemnification right, such person (the “Claiming Party”) shall give written notice to the Party against whom indemnification is sought hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Claiming Party of such claim. However, the failure of any Claiming Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 7 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
7.4.2    The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to contest and defend the claim by all appropriate legal proceedings and, subject to the provisions hereof, to control all settlements (unless the Claiming Party agrees to assume the cost of settlement and to forgo its rights hereunder) and to select lead counsel, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming

-68-     MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AND
SALE AGREEMENT (PROJECT BANG)



Party, to defend any and all such claims at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, subject to Section 7.4.5. In advance of its exercise of such right, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Claiming Party an acknowledgement in writing of the unqualified obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Claiming Party for such claim, subject to the limitations of Section 7.2.4. The Claiming Party may select counsel to participate with the Indemnifying Party’s counsel in any such defense, in which event the Claiming Party’s counsel shall be at the Claiming Party’s cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, pursuant to this Section 7.4, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Claiming Party with respect to such claim for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof except for the reasonable costs of investigation or if (i) the employment of counsel by the Claiming Party has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party; (ii) the Claiming Party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of outside counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Claiming Parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party and after written notice from the Claiming Party to such effect, the Indemnifying Party does not assert and pursue such defenses; (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Claiming Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to the claim being asserted (in which case the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action, proceeding or defense on behalf of the Claiming Party); and (iv) the Indemnifying Party loses its right to conduct, or discontinues, its defense of such Claim pursuant to Section 7.4.5, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Claiming Party will be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Unless and until the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the Claiming Party’s reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such claim, action or proceeding (other than the amount of the settlement itself which is governed by Section 7.4.5 below).
7.4.3    In connection with any claim, the Parties shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to relevant Books and Records relating to Seller, its business or the Projects in their possession (except documents as to which disclosure is restricted in order to preserve a privilege). The Claiming Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any claim by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Claiming Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.
7.4.4    Without the Claiming Party’s prior written consent, the Indemnifying Party may not enter into any settlement or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof that could result directly or indirectly in any cost, expense or liability to the Claiming Party or any of its Affiliates or imposes an obligation on the Claiming Party or any of its Affiliates, and which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant to the Claiming Party and its Affiliates of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such claim.
7.4.5    If (i) the Indemnifying Party fails, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of any indemnification notice, to notify the Claiming Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s

-69-     MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AND
SALE AGREEMENT (PROJECT BANG)



election to defend the claim, (ii) the claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (iii) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iv) the claim alleges or seeks an amount of damages in excess of the limitations contained in Section 7.2.4, or (v) the Indemnifying Party discontinues its defense at any time or fails to actively and diligently conduct the defense of the claim after it commences such defense in accordance with this Agreement, then the Claiming Party may, at its option, assume the defense of, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such claim and the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense pursuant to Section 7.4.2. If the Indemnifying Party does not (or cannot) assume or discontinues such defense, the Claiming Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised at all times as to the status of the defense. However, the failure to keep the Indemnifying Party so informed shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Except as specifically stated herein, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition a requested consent.
7.5 Insurance. The amount of Damages required to be paid by an Indemnifying Party to another party pursuant to this Article 7 shall be reduced to the extent of any amounts actually received in cash by such other party pursuant to the terms of any insurance policy (excluding self-insurance and flow-through insurance policies), less any documented costs or expenses incurred in connection therewith (including any documented increased insurance premiums); provided, however, a party entitled to indemnification hereunder shall not be obligated to seek recovery under any insurance policy. If the indemnified party actually receives cash proceeds under an insurance policy (excluding self-insurance and flow-through insurance policies) after the Indemnifying Party has fully paid the Damages, then the amount of such reduction, less any costs or expenses incurred in connection therewith (including any increased insurance premiums) shall be repaid by the indemnified party to the Indemnifying Party.
7.6 After-Tax Basis. For tax reporting purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by the Code, each Party will agree to treat all amounts paid under any of the provisions of this Article 7 as an adjustment to the applicable Purchase Price (or otherwise as a non-taxable reimbursement, contribution or return of capital, as the case may be). To the extent that any such indemnification payment is includable as income of the indemnified party, as determined by agreement of the Parties or, if there is no agreement, by an opinion of a nationally-recognized tax counsel selected by the indemnified party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party that such amount is “more likely than not” includable as income of the indemnified party, the amount of the payment shall be increased by the amount of any U.S. federal income tax required to be paid by the indemnified party or its Affiliates on the receipt or accrual of the indemnification payment, including, for this purpose, the amount of any such Tax required to be paid by the indemnified party on the receipt or accrual of the additional amount required to be added to such payment pursuant to this Section 7.6, assuming full taxability, using an assumed tax rate equal to the highest composite U.S. federal and state marginal income tax rate applicable to corporations generally.
7.7 No Duplication; Mitigation. Any liability for indemnification under this Article 7 shall be determined without duplication of recovery. Without limiting the generality of the prior sentence,

-70-     MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AND
SALE AGREEMENT (PROJECT BANG)



if a statement of facts, condition or event constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is subject to the indemnification obligation in this Article 7 or constitutes a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by a member of the Seller Indemnified Group set forth in any Contract, only one recovery of Damages shall be allowed and such recovery shall count against any limitation of or cap on liability set forth in any such Contract. The Parties hereby acknowledge the obligation of the Claiming Party to mitigate Damages to the extent required by applicable Law.
7.8 Specific Performance.
7.8.1    Waivers and Acknowledgments. The Parties agree that, prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Individual Portfolio, irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, including any wrongful failure to consummate the applicable Closing. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions or other specific performance or equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to cause each Closing to occur on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth herein. In that regard, each Party hereby waives any requirement under any applicable Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining such equitable relief. If either Party brings any action in good faith to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by the other Party, the Drop-Dead Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such action is pending, plus 20 Business Days or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief sought in accordance with this Section 7.8.1 on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.
7.8.2    Alternative Remedies. Notwithstanding Section 7.8.1, prior to the Closing with respect to any Individual Portfolio, a Party may pursue against the other Party any remedy available at law or in equity arising out of any willful and material breach of this Agreement related to such Individual Portfolio by such other Party, including a claim for monetary damages.
7.9 Exclusivity of Remedies and Limitation on Liability. Subject to Section 7.8.2, the remedies under this Article 7 are the sole and exclusive remedies that a Party or other Claiming Party may have arising under or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby for the recovery of monetary damages against any other Party, SunPower Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to (i) any breach or failure by such other Party, SunPower Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or (ii) any breach of any representation or warranty of such other Party, SunPower Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates set forth in this Agreement, provided that nothing in this Article 7 shall limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Party to make any payments required to be made by such Party pursuant to any other Article of this Agreement or for any liability in respect of fraud or willful misconduct.
7.10 Non-Recourse. It is expressly agreed and understood that any obligations of a Party arising from (or in connection with any performance under) this Agreement and/or any certificates or

-71-     MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AND
SALE AGREEMENT (PROJECT BANG)



documents delivered in connection with this Agreement are solely the obligations of such Party, and no personal liability whatsoever (of any type or nature) will attach to, or be incurred by, any of the Buyer Indemnified Group, or the Seller Indemnified Group, as applicable, other than the applicable Party (and in the case of indemnification obligations under this Article 7, SunPower Corporation) because of the incurrence by such Party of any obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate or document delivered in connection with this Agreement or by reason thereof, and any personal liability in respect of any such obligations of any type or nature, and any and all claims for any such liability against any of the Byer Indemnified Group or the Seller Indemnified Group, as applicable, other than the applicable Party (and in the case of indemnification obligations under this Article 7, SunPower Corporation), whether arising in common law or equity or created by rule of law, statute, constitution, or otherwise, are expressly released and waived by the other Party for and on behalf of itself and each member of its respective indemnified group, in each case, as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Party.

8.2 Effect of Termination.
8.2.1    In the event of a termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall cease to have force and effect in its entirety, and there shall be no further Liability on the part of either Party in respect of this Agreement, except that (a) if the termination of this Agreement occurs after the occurrence of any Closing Date, this Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect solely with respect to the Acquired Portfolio, (b) the provisions of Article 7, this Section 8.2 and Article 9 shall continue to apply following any such termination, and (c) each Party shall continue to be liable for any breach by such Party of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.
8.2.2    In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b), Buyer agrees that it will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, solicit for employment or hire or employ any of the current employees of Seller, the Portfolio Entities (other than the Acquired Portfolio Entities) or their Affiliates to whom Buyer or its Affiliates had been directly or indirectly introduced or otherwise had contact with as a result of its or their consideration, negotiation or consummation of the transaction contemplated herein, so long as they are employed by Seller, the Portfolio Entities (other than the Acquired Portfolio Entities) or their Affiliates for a period of two years following the date of such termination, without the prior written consent of Seller.

-75-     MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AND
SALE AGREEMENT (PROJECT BANG)



request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller shall (to the extent practical given the circumstances) notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.7.2.
