Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 5, 2019, Tecogen Inc. (the “Corporation”) entered into Amendment No. 2 to, and Waiver No. 3 under, Credit Agreement dated May 4, 2018 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Corporation, American DG Energy Inc. (“ADGE”), and TTcogen LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”) and Webster Business Credit Corporation (“Lender”) (the “Amendment and Waiver”). Pursuant to the Amendment and Waiver, the Lender waived restrictions in the Credit Agreement to permit the following transaction which occurred on March 5, 2019:
1)
The formation of CogenTwo LLC (“CogenTwo”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of ADGE and the contribution by ADGE to CogenTwo of its interests in six agreements and associated assets relating to the generation and sale of energy.
 
2)
The execution by ADGE of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated March 5, 2019 between ADGE and SDCL TG Cogen LLC (“SDCL”), an unrelated third party, pursuant to which all equity interests in CogenTwo were sold to SDCL for $5 million, and the execution by the Corporation of a Guaranty of ADGE’s obligations under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement.

3)
The execution by the Corporation of a Billing and Asset Management Agreement with an initial term of 15 years and renewable thereafter as agreed, pursuant to which the Corporation will be responsible for the management and operation of the on-site utilities transferred to CogenTwo, guarantee the payment of certain minimum collections from such on-site utilities, and receive one half of all collections in excess of agreed minimum collections.
    
Proceeds from the sale of CogenTwo were deposited to ADGE’s account with Lender and applied against the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement.

As previously reported in December 2018, in a similar transaction, ADGE formed CogenOne LLC as a wholly owned subsidiary, contributed its interests in two agreements and associated assets relating to the generation and sale of energy to CogenOne, and sold CogenOne to SDCL for $2 million and the Corporation entered into a Billing and Asset Management Agreement, all as described in the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed December 17, 2018 as amended and supplemented hereby.
Collection activities under the Billing and Asset Management Agreement dated March 5, 2019 relating to the six energy purchase agreements assigned to CogenTwo will be aggregated with collection activities under the Billing and Asset Management Agreement dated December 14, 2018 relating to the two energy purchase agreements assigned to CogenOne LLC which was amended and restated on March 5, 2019 to provide for such aggregation.     
The foregoing description of the Amendment and Waiver, the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, the Guaranty, and the Billing and Asset Management Agreement for the December 14, 2018 and the March 5, 2019 transactions is a summary, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements filed as Exhibits 10.47 through 10.53 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(a)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except for claims in respect of the breach of any Fundamental Representation or for claims in respect of fraud by the Company or the Seller, no claims for indemnification by any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.02(a) shall be so asserted, and no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover Losses, (1) unless any individual Loss or group or series of related Losses exceeds $25,000 (the “ Mini-Basket ”) and (2) until the aggregate amount of Losses (which shall not include for such purposes any individual Loss or group or series of related Losses that do not exceed the Mini-Basket) that would otherwise be payable hereunder exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $100,000 (the “ Deductible ”), and to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover all such Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except for claims in respect of the breach of Section 3.03(a) or Section 3.03(c) and except in the case of fraud by the Company or the Seller, in no event shall the Seller have any liability under this Agreement in excess of the Purchase Price received by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement.
(d)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except in the case of fraud by Purchaser, in no event shall Purchaser have any liability under this Agreement in excess of the Purchase Price.
(e)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the amount of any Losses subject to recovery under this Article VI by Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be calculated net of any amounts (A) actually received from any third party insurance policy of Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to Losses for which any such Person has received indemnity payments hereunder (net of any (x) premium increases or retroactive premium adjustments and (y) any costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with such recovery) and (B) any Tax benefits realized by Purchaser Indemnified Parties from such Losses (net of any costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with such recovery).
(f)      An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by such Indemnified Party arising out of any matter for which such Indemnified Party has sought indemnification hereunder; provided that no such Indemnified Party shall be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action that is contrary to any applicable Contract or Law binding on such Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof.
6.05      Indemnification Procedures
(a)      Any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party making a claim for indemnification under Sections 6.02 or 6.03 (an “ Indemnified Party ”) shall promptly notify the indemnifying party (an “ Indemnifying Party ”) and the Seller, if applicable, in writing (each, an “ Indemnification Claim Notice ”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to update an Indemnification Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date hereof.
(b)      If an Indemnifying Party (or in the case of any Indemnification Claim Notice given by a Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Seller) does not object in writing within the 30-day period after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivery of a written notice of objection containing a reasonably detailed description of the facts supporting an objection to the applicable indemnification claim (the “ Indemnification Claim Objection Notice ”), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Party (or in the case of any Indemnification Claim Notice given by a Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Seller) that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice.
(c)      If an Indemnifying Party (or in the case of any Indemnification Claim Notice given by a Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Seller) objects in writing within the 30-day period after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivery of an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice, such Indemnifying Party (or in the case of any Indemnification Claim Notice given by a Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Seller) and Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Indemnifying Party (or in the case of any Indemnification Claim Objection Notice given by a Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Seller) and Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation within 30 days after the receipt of an Indemnification Claim Objection, the claim shall be resolved pursuant to Section 8.15 .
6.06      Third Party Claims
(a)      In the event that any Indemnified Party desires to make a claim against an Indemnifying Party (which term shall be deemed to include all Indemnifying Parties if more than one) in connection with any third-party Action for which it may seek indemnification hereunder (a “ Third-Party Claim ”), the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim and of its claims of indemnification with respect thereto; provided , that failure to promptly give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Article VI , except to the extent, if any, that the Indemnifying Party has actually been materially prejudiced thereby.
(b)      Subject to paragraph (e) below, the Indemnifying Party will, upon its written confirmation of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in full with respect to such Third-Party Claim, have the right to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party by written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) calendar days after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party must conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard; and provided , further , that the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim.
(c)      The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless the judgment or proposed settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of all Liability of each Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim, (ii) involves only the payment of money damages that are fully covered by the Indemnifying Party, and (iii) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 6.06(b) above, the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed by the Indemnifying Party).
(d)      In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 6.06(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter in to any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith) and (ii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses of the Indemnified Party as a result of such Third-Party Claim to the extent subject to indemnification under this Article VI .
(e)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Purchaser Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party, then Purchaser and the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to participate in the defense, at Purchaser’s and /or Company’s expense, with respect to any claim (i) relating to the Licensed Intellectual Property, (ii) involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against any Indemnified Party, (iii) that relates to or involves any then current customer, supplier or other business partner of Purchaser or the Company or which is brought by a Governmental Entity, or (iv) that involves any Tax Matter of the Company (collectively, the “ Purchaser-Handled Claims ”). The Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses of Purchaser and the Company as a result of such Purchaser-Handled Claims to the extent subject to indemnification under this Article VI , and Purchaser and the Company shall retain all remedies to which they are entitled under this Article VI .
6.07      Remedies .  Except for fraud, the indemnification provisions described in this Article VI provide the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing as to all Losses any Indemnified Party may incur, suffer or sustain arising from this Agreement.
6.08      Tax Treatment; Tax Claims
(a)      Any payment under this Article VI shall be treated by the parties for U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income Tax purposes as a purchase price adjustment unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
(b)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.08 or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VII ) shall be governed exclusively by Article VII .
ARTICLE VII     

TAX MATTERS
7.01      Tax Covenants
(a)      Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, Seller (and, prior to the Closing, the Company, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives) shall not, to the extent it may affect, or relate to, the Company, make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Purchaser or the Company in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period. Seller agrees that Purchaser is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of Seller, the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser (and, after the Closing Date, the Company) against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset.
(b)      All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Seller when due. Seller shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Purchaser shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).
(c)      Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by Purchaser to Seller (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Seller, supporting documentation) at least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Seller objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within ten days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Purchaser in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach such agreement within ten days after receipt by Purchaser of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant and any determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final. The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within twenty days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Purchaser and then amended to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Purchaser.
7.02      Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements . Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date none of the Company, none of Seller nor any of Seller’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

Seller shall indemnify the Company, Purchaser, and each Purchaser Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against (a) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 3.08 ; (b) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VII ; (c) all Taxes of the Company or relating to the business of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (d) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state or local Law; and (e) any and all Taxes of any person imposed on the Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date. In each of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith. Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any Taxes of the Company that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to this Section 7.03 within ten Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Purchaser or the Company.
7.04      Straddle Period . In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “ Straddle Period ”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:
(a)      in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and
(b)      in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.
7.05      Contests . Purchaser agrees to give written notice to Seller of the receipt of any written notice by the Company, Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Purchaser pursuant to this Article VII (a “ Tax Claim ”); provided , that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Purchaser’s right to indemnification hereunder. Purchaser shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided , however , that Purchaser shall obtain the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided further , that Seller shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Seller.
7.06      Cooperation and Exchange of Information . Seller and Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article VII or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Seller or Purchaser (as the case may be) shall provide the other party with reasonable written notice and offer the other party the opportunity to take custody of such materials.
7.07      Tax Treatment . Seller and Purchaser agree that the transactions contemplated hereby will be treated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and applicable state income Tax purposes as a taxable sale by Seller and a purchase by Purchaser of the assets of the Company.
7.08      Tax Allocation . Seller and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the assets of the Company for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes as shown on the allocation schedule (the “ Allocation Schedule ”). A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Purchaser and delivered to Seller within ninety days following the Closing Date. If Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided , however , that if Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 90 days following the Closing Date, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. Purchaser and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.
7.09      Payments to Purchaser . Any amounts payable to Purchaser pursuant to this Article VII shall be satisfied from Seller.
7.10      Survival . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.08 and this Article VII shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT
This Guaranty Agreement (this " Agreement "), dated as of December 14, 2018, is made by TECOGEN INC., a Delaware corporation (the “ Guarantor ”), in favor of each of COGENONE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Company ”), and SDCL TG COGEN LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the " Purchaser ", and together with the Company, the “ SDCL Parties ”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them by the Billing Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the “ Billing Agreement ”) among the Guarantor and Company, and the rules of usage set forth in the Billing Agreement shall apply to this Agreement.
RECITALS
This Agreement is given in consideration of the Purchaser entering into that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Purchase Agreement ”), with American DG Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ ADG ”, and together with the Guarantor, the “ Tecogen Parties ”) and the Guarantor, providing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, for the purchase by the Purchaser from ADG of all of the membership interests of the Company.
ADG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor, and the Guarantor will receive substantial and direct benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents. The Guarantor has agreed to enter into this Agreement to provide assurance for the obligations of ADG in connection with the Purchase Agreement and to induce the Purchaser and Company to enter into the Purchase Agreement and related agreements including the Billing Agreement and other Transaction Documents.
It is a condition precedent to the Purchaser entering into the Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents to which the Purchaser is party, and a condition precedent to the Company entering into the Transaction Documents to which the Company is party, that the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree, and the Guarantor hereby furnishes its guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined), as follows:
1. Guaranty. To induce the SDCL Parties to make and perform the Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents, t he Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, termination, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all existing and future obligations, indebtedness and liabilities of every kind, nature and character, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary and whether for purchase consideration, interest, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of ADG to the Purchaser and the Company arising under the Purchase Agreement, and any instruments, agreements or other documents of any kind o r nature now or hereafter executed by ADG in connection with the Purchase Agreement, whenever created, arising, evidenced or acquired (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof), and whether recovery upon such obligations, indebtedness and liabilities may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any of the Tecogen Parties under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “ Debtor Relief Laws ”), and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any of the Tecogen Parties of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (collectively, the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”).
2. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guaranty .
(a)      The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of ADG liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Tecogen Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Tecogen Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against ADG, any SDCL Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by ADG, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.
(b)      Further, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any SDCL Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of ADG for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by any SDCL Party with respect to any collateral (if any) securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).
3. No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. The Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Purchaser or Company) is imposed upon the Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, the Guarantor will pay to the Purchaser, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Purchaser to receive the same net amount which the Purchaser would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Guarantor. The Guarantor will deliver promptly to the Purchaser certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
4. Rights of Purchaser. The Guarantor consents and agrees that the Purchaser or Company may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise , discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security (if any) for the payment of this Agreement or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security (if any) and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Purchaser in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantor under this Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the Guarantor.
5. Certain Waivers. The Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of ADG or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Purchaser or Company) of the liability of ADG; (b) any defense based on any claim that the Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of ADG; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Purchaser or Company to proceed against ADG, proceed against or exhaust any security (if any) for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the Purchaser’s or Company’s power whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Purchaser or Company; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. The Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations , and all notices of acceptance of this Agreement or of the existence, creation or incurrence of the Guaranteed Obligations .
6. Obligations Independent . The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against the Guarantor to enforce this Agreement whether or not ADG or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
7. Subrogation. The Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Agreement until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Agreement have been paid and performed in full in cash. If any amounts are paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser and shall forthwith be paid to the Purchaser to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
8. Termination; Reinstatement. This Agreement is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of ADG or the Guarantor is made, or the Purchaser or Company exercises its right of setoff , in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Purchaser in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Purchaser or Company is in possession of or has released this Agreement and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.
9. Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of ADG owing to the Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of ADG to the Guarantor as subrogee of the Purchaser or Company or resulting from the Guarantor’s performance under this Agreement, to the payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. If the Purchaser so requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of ADG to the Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by the Guarantor as trustee for the Purchaser and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Purchaser on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under this Agreement.
10. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Guarantor or ADG under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Purchaser.
11. Expenses . The Guarantor shall pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of the Purchaser’s or Company’s rights under this Agreement or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of the Purchaser or Company in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
12. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto. No failure by the Purchaser or Company to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect interpretation of this Agreement in any respect. This Agreement has been fully negotiated between the applicable parties, each party having the benefit of legal counsel, and accordingly neither any doctrine of construction of guaranties or suretyships in favor of the guarantor or surety, nor any doctrine of construction of ambiguities in agreement or instruments against the party controlling the drafting thereof, shall apply to this Agreement.
13. Condition of ADG. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from ADG and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of ADG and any such other guarantor as the Guarantor requires, and that neither the Purchaser nor Company has any duty, and the Guarantor is not relying on the Purchaser or Company at any time, to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of ADG or any other guarantor (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Purchaser or Company to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
14. Setoff. If and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder, the Purchaser and Company may set off against and apply to such due and payable amount any obligation of any nature of any SDCL Party to any Tecogen Party, including but not limited to any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held by an SDCL Party to or for the credit or the account of any Tecogen Party, irrespective of whether or not the SDCL Parties shall have made any demand under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Purchase Agreement and although such obligations of any Tecogen Party may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of each SDCL Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the SDCL Parties may have. Each SDCL Party agrees to notify the Tecogen Parties promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
15. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants to each SDCL Party that:
(a)      The Guarantor is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation (to the extent good standing is applicable under the relevant corporate law), and has all requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business as it is now being conducted.
(b)      The Guarantor has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is party and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is party.
(c)      This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Guarantor is party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the same may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(d)      The execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, do not or will not: (i) violate its organizational documents; (ii) violate any provision or requirement of any Applicable Law; or (iii) violate in any material respect, result in a breach of, constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default or cause any obligation, penalty, premium or right of termination to arise or accrue under, any material contract to which it is a party.
(e)      All third party consents which are required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder have been obtained and are in full force and effect.
(f)      No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened by or against the Guarantor or against any of its properties or revenues with respect to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document to which it is party or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(g)      The Guarantor is not, nor has it ever been the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding. Each Tecogen Party is solvent and the transactions and obligations hereunder do not and will not render such Tecogen Party not solvent. Such Tecogen Party has adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations. Such Tecogen Party is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they come due.
(h)      The Guarantor hereby acknowledges, represents, and warrants that it receives direct and indirect benefits by virtue of its affiliation with ADG and that the Guarantor will receive direct and indirect benefits from the arrangements contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents and that such benefits, together with the rights of subrogation that may arise in connection herewith, are a reasonably equivalent exchange of value in return for providing the guarantee under this Agreement.
16. Indemnification and Survival. Without limiting any other obligations of the Guarantor or ADG or remedies of the Purchaser or Company under the Purchase Agreement or any Transaction Document, the Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each of the Purchaser and Company from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Purchaser or Company in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of ADG, enforceable against ADG in accordance with their terms. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
17. Assignment. This Agreement shall (a) bind the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, provided that the Guarantor may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and Company (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void), and (b) inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, the Company and their respective successors and assigns, and the Purchaser or Company may, without notice to the Guarantor and without affecting the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, assign or sell the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement, in whole or in part. The Guarantor agrees that the Purchaser or Company may disclose to any assignee of or investor in, or any prospective assignee of or investor in, any of the Purchaser’s or Company’s rights or obligations of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all information in the Purchaser’s or Company’s possession concerning the Tecogen Parties, this Agreement and Guaranteed Obligations .
18. GOVERNING LAW; Jurisdiction.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Transaction Document shall affect any right that any SDCL Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Transaction Document against any Tecogen Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)      The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d)      Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 19. Nothing in any Transaction Document will affect the right of any party to any Transaction Document to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto .
FINAL AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.

8.17      Specific Performance .  Each of the Parties acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Party may have no adequate remedy at Law.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT
This Guaranty Agreement (this " Agreement "), dated as of March 5, 2019, is made by TECOGEN INC., a Delaware corporation (the “ Guarantor ”), in favor of each of COGENTWO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Company ”), and SDCL TG COGEN LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the " Purchaser ", and together with the Company, the “ SDCL Parties ”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them by the Billing Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the “ Billing Agreement ”) among the Guarantor and Company, and the rules of usage set forth in the Billing Agreement shall apply to this Agreement.
RECITALS
This Agreement is given in consideration of the Purchaser entering into that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Purchase Agreement ”), with American DG Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ ADG ”, and together with the Guarantor, the “ Tecogen Parties ”) and the Guarantor, providing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, for the purchase by the Purchaser from ADG of all of the membership interests of the Company.
ADG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor, and the Guarantor will receive substantial and direct benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents. The Guarantor has agreed to enter into this Agreement to provide assurance for the obligations of ADG in connection with the Purchase Agreement and to induce the Purchaser and Company to enter into the Purchase Agreement and related agreements including the Billing Agreement and other Transaction Documents.
It is a condition precedent to the Purchaser entering into the Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents to which the Purchaser is party, and a condition precedent to the Company entering into the Transaction Documents to which the Company is party, that the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree, and the Guarantor hereby furnishes its guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined), as follows:
1. Guaranty. To induce the SDCL Parties to make and perform the Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents, t he Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, termination, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all existing and future obligations, indebtedness and liabilities of every kind, nature and character, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary and whether for purchase consideration, interest, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of ADG to the Purchaser and the Company arising under the Purchase Agreement, and any instruments, agreements or other documents of any kind o r nature now or hereafter executed by ADG in connection with the Purchase Agreement, whenever created, arising, evidenced or acquired (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof), and whether recovery upon such obligations, indebtedness and liabilities may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any of the Tecogen Parties under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “ Debtor Relief Laws ”), and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any of the Tecogen Parties of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (collectively, the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”).
2. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guaranty .
(a)      The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of ADG liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Tecogen Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Tecogen Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against ADG, any SDCL Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by ADG, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.
(b)      Further, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any SDCL Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of ADG for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by any SDCL Party with respect to any collateral (if any) securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).
3. No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. The Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Purchaser or Company) is imposed upon the Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, the Guarantor will pay to the Purchaser, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Purchaser to receive the same net amount which the Purchaser would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Guarantor. The Guarantor will deliver promptly to the Purchaser certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
4. Rights of Purchaser. The Guarantor consents and agrees that the Purchaser or Company may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise , discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security (if any) for the payment of this Agreement or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security (if any) and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Purchaser in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantor under this Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the Guarantor.
5. Certain Waivers. The Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of ADG or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Purchaser or Company) of the liability of ADG; (b) any defense based on any claim that the Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of ADG; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Purchaser or Company to proceed against ADG, proceed against or exhaust any security (if any) for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the Purchaser’s or Company’s power whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Purchaser or Company; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. The Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations , and all notices of acceptance of this Agreement or of the existence, creation or incurrence of the Guaranteed Obligations .
6. Obligations Independent . The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against the Guarantor to enforce this Agreement whether or not ADG or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
7. Subrogation. The Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Agreement until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Agreement have been paid and performed in full in cash. If any amounts are paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser and shall forthwith be paid to the Purchaser to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
8. Termination; Reinstatement. This Agreement is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge Date.

The Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of ADG owing to the Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of ADG to the Guarantor as subrogee of the Purchaser or Company or resulting from the Guarantor’s performance under this Agreement, to the payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations.

The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
12. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto. No failure by the Purchaser or Company to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect interpretation of this Agreement in any respect. This Agreement has been fully negotiated between the applicable parties, each party having the benefit of legal counsel, and accordingly neither any doctrine of construction of guaranties or suretyships in favor of the guarantor or surety, nor any doctrine of construction of ambiguities in agreement or instruments against the party controlling the drafting thereof, shall apply to this Agreement.

The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from ADG and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of ADG and any such other guarantor as the Guarantor requires, and that neither the Purchaser nor Company has any duty, and the Guarantor is not relying on the Purchaser or Company at any time, to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of ADG or any other guarantor (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Purchaser or Company to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

The rights of each SDCL Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the SDCL Parties may have. Each SDCL Party agrees to notify the Tecogen Parties promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(b)    the Multiplier.
7.2      Early Termination of Minimum Threshold Guaranty .
(a)      If any one or more Project Contracts terminates or is terminated prior to its stated expiry date (unless such termination is solely caused by a material breach after the Effective Date by the Company of the Company’s obligations under such terminated Project Contract(s), and not by the Asset Manager’s breach, negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct under any Transaction Document or in respect of such terminated Project Contract(s)), or if the transactions contemplated by the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in violation of any agreement with or restriction applicable to Seller or the Company, then the Asset Manager shall pay to the Company an amount (the “ Early Termination Payment ”) in cash equal to (1) for each such terminated Project Contract, the amount set forth opposite such terminated Project Contract under the column for the Measurement Period in which such termination occurs in Schedule 7.2(a) hereto, plus (2) all unpaid interest (if any) accrued under the Transaction Documents through the date of such termination, plus (3) all outstanding and unpaid costs and other amounts (if any) payable to the SDCL Parties under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents through the date of such termination, minus (4) the aggregate amount of any Stipulated Termination Charges in respect of such terminated Project Contracts actually received by the Company, minus (5) the aggregate amount of any net cash proceeds of credit default swap insurance in respect of such terminated Project Contracts actually received by the Company. The Company shall take all reasonable steps required in the Company’s reasonable business judgment to collect and/or support the collection by Asset Manager on behalf of the Company of any Stipulated Termination Charges due to the Company in accordance with the Project Contracts. In the event that both the Company and Asset Manager agree to initiate legal action by or on behalf of the Company against a Lessee to collect any Stipulated Termination Charges due and payable from such Lessee, the Company and Asset Manager will each pay 50% of all reasonable and documented costs (provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any costs, fees or expenses of any counsel that has not been retained by the Company in its sole discretion) incurred by the Company and Asset Manager in connection with such collection efforts. The Asset Manager shall pay any Early Termination Payments to the Company within 180 calendar days after the Company’s notice to the Asset Manager thereof; provided , so long as the Asset Manager continues to make all payments as and when due and payable under Section 7.1 and no AM Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company and the Asset Manager will enter into good faith negotiations with each other during such 180-day period with respect to substituting other replacement projects and project contracts in lieu of paying such Early Termination Payments, increasing the CogenTwo Minimum Threshold and/or Combined Minimum Threshold by an amount as the Parties may mutually agree in writing, and/or permitting a grace period or revised payment schedule, in each case pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Parties, and in all cases, subject to the prior written approval of the SDCL Parties’ investment committee and of the Asset Manager’s Board of Directors of any such agreement (which approvals shall be in the sole discretion of each of the SDCL Parties’ investment committee and the Asset Manager’s Board of Directors). For avoidance of doubt, (x) the Asset Manager shall continue to pay any and all Shortfalls payable pursuant to Section 7.1 and all amounts payable under Section 7.1 of the CogenOne Billing Agreement during such 180-day period and (y) if the Parties fail to reach an agreement by the end of such 180-day period, the Asset Manager shall pay any and all Early Termination Payments to the Company on such 180 th day.
(b)      Without limiting or prejudice to the Asset Manager’s payment and other obligations under Sections 7.1 and 7.2(a), and so long as (i) no AM Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Section 7.2(a) is not applicable and (iii) no default or event of default under a Project Contract has occurred and is continuing, upon notice as provided below, the Asset Manager may request that the Company release the Asset Manager from its obligations under Section 7.1 in respect of any Project Contract, by offering to pay an amount in cash to the Company in an amount to be negotiated in good faith by both Parties. Any such written request for such early termination under this paragraph shall be provided by the Asset Manager to the Company not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date requested for such early termination (unless the SDCL Parties agree to another time period in their sole discretion). Such request shall specify the proposed early termination date (which shall be a Business Day) and proposed early termination payment amount (and may include a proposed percentage sharing of the Qualifying Net Receivables under the applicable Project Contract), and shall be accompanied by a senior officer's certificate of the Asset Manager certifying as to no AM Default having occurred and continuing. For avoidance of doubt, the SDCL Parties’ receipt and negotiation of such request or offer shall not constitute acceptance of, approval of or agreement with, such request or offer in any way whatsoever, and the Asset Manager shall remain obligated to, and shall continue to, make all payments required under Sections 7.1 and 7.2(a), throughout any negotiation of any such offer or request, regardless of the outcome of such negotiations. Nothing in this paragraph shall constitute any commitment whatsoever by any SDCL Party to accept or agree to any request or offer by the Asset Manager under or arising out of this paragraph, which shall in all circumstances be subject to the prior written approval of the SDCL Parties’ investment committee and of the Asset Manager’s Board of Directors (which approvals shall be in the sole discretion of each of the SDCL Parties’ investment committee and the Asset Manager’s Board of Directors).
7.3      Early Payment s . Any Early Termination Payment, payment under Section 7.2(b) and Termination for Convenience Payment (collectively, “ Early Payments ”) shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the SDCL Parties as the result of the occurrence of the applicable termination event and the Asset Manager agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Asset Manager acknowledges that the Early Payments represent a reasonable and fair estimate for the loss that the SDCL Parties may sustain from the early termination of the applicable Project Contract(s), and further acknowledges that except as specifically provided herein the Asset Manager does not have any right to terminate this Article in whole or in part without paying the applicable Early Payments. THE ASSET MANAGER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF ANY EARLY PAYMENT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH TERMINATION OF THIS ARTICLE, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROJECT CONTRACT. The Asset Manager expressly agrees that (i) each Early Payment is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the Early Payments shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Tecogen Parties and the SDCL Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay each Early Payment, (iv) the Tecogen Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 7.3, (v) the Asset Manager’s agreement to pay Early Payments is a material inducement to the SDCL Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents, and (vi) the Early Payments represent a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the SDCL Parties and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the SDCL Parties or profits lost by the SDCL Parties as a result of such termination of this Article, this Agreement or any Project Contract. Any and all Early Payments shall be fully earned and non-refundable when made.
7.4      Obligations Absolute . With respect to the Asset Manager’s obligations under this Article 7:
(a)      The obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7 shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Lessee’s obligations under the Project Contracts (the “ Lessee Obligations ”) or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Lessee Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Lessee Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7, and the Asset Manager hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. The obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7 are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Lessee Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company or any Lessee liable for any of the Lessee Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Lessee or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Lessee; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Asset Manager may have at any time against any Lessee, any SDCL Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. The obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7 are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Lessee Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by a Lessee, of the Lessee Obligations or any part thereof.
(b)      Further, the obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7 are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any SDCL Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Lessee Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Lessee Obligations; (iii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Lessee Obligations; or (iv) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Asset Manager or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Asset Manager as a matter of law or equity.
(c)      The Asset Manager shall make all payments under this Article 7 in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Asset Manager is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Purchaser or Company) is imposed upon the Asset Manager with respect to any amount payable by it under this Article 7, the Asset Manager will pay to the Company, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Company to receive the same net amount which the Company would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Asset Manager. The Asset Manager will deliver promptly to the Company certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Asset Manager under this Article 7. The obligations of the Asset Manager under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Lessee Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
(d)      Subject to Section 4.3, the Asset Manager consents and agrees that the Purchaser or Company may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness of this Article 7: (1) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Lessee Obligations or any part thereof; (2) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security (if any) for the payment of any Shortfalls or any Qualifying Net Receivables; (3) apply such security (if any) and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Purchaser or Company in its sole discretion may determine; and (4) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Lessee Obligations.
(e)      The Asset Manager waives (1) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of a Lessee, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Purchaser or Company) of the liability of a Lessee; (2) any defense based on any claim that the Asset Manager’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of a Lessee; (3) any right to require the Purchaser or Company to proceed against a Lessee, proceed against or exhaust any security (if any) for the Lessee Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the Purchaser’s or Company’s power whatsoever; (4) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Purchaser or Company; and (5) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. The Asset Manager expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Lessee Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Agreement or of the existence, creation or incurrence of the Lessee Obligations.
(f)      The obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7 are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Lessee Obligations, and a separate action may be brought against the Asset Manager to enforce this Article 7 whether or not a Lessee or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
(g)      This Article 7 shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article 7 shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf the Asset Manager is made, or the Purchaser or Company exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Shortfalls and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Purchaser or Company in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Purchaser or Company is in possession of or has released this Agreement and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Asset Manager under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(h)      In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Lessee Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Asset Manager or a Lessee under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all Shortfalls due and payable shall nonetheless be payable by the Asset Manager immediately upon demand by the Company.
(i)      The Asset Manager acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from a Lessee such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of such Lessee as the Asset Manager requires, and that neither the Purchaser nor Company has any duty, and the Asset Manager is not relying on the Purchaser or Company at any time, to disclose to the Asset Manager any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of a Lessee (the Asset Manager waiving any duty on the part of the Purchaser or Company to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
7.5      Supremacy . The provisions expressed in this Article 7 shall prevail over any conflicting or inconsistent provisions contained elsewhere in this Agreement or other Transaction Documents and, except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 7.2, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the other Articles of this Agreement or of the other Transaction Documents.
ARTICLE 8     
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
8.1      Dispute Resolution Procedures .
(a)      Subject to Article 11, resolution of disputes, controversies and claims shall be governed by the procedures set forth in this Section 8.1.
(b)      In the event a dispute, controversy or claim arises hereunder or under the O&M Agreement, the aggrieved Party shall, prior to pursuing any other remedies, provide written notification of the dispute to the other Party. Within twenty (20) days of the date on which the notice of the dispute was sent, a meeting will be held between the Parties, attended by representatives of the Parties with decision-making authority regarding the dispute, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute.
(c)      If the Parties cannot agree on a settlement of the dispute, controversy or claim within ten (10) days after the date on which the meeting described in Section 8.1(b) takes place, then a Party may refer the dispute to binding arbitration, which shall then be the exclusive method of dispute resolution. Arbitration shall take place in New York City, and be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“ AAA ”). All procedural matters relating to the arbitration shall be decided by the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA, with the exception that discovery of evidence is strictly limited to any document relating to the dispute in the possession of either Party. Neither Party shall be permitted access to the electronic data storage systems of the other Party or to conduct depositions.
(d)      Prior to an arbitral award or court judgment, each Party shall bear its own costs for the dispute, plus one-half of any costs imposed by AAA rules, if applicable. The arbitral award or court judgment shall include a specific sum awarded to the prevailing Party as compensation for attorney fees and costs of the dispute.
(e)      If the award or judgment grants the prevailing Party a sum fixed or readily ascertainable amount by the terms of this Agreement, the arbitrator or court shall also award the prevailing Party interest on that sum compounded monthly from the date the sum was due at the Reference Rate. The entire arbitral award or judgment shall then bear interest compounded monthly at the same rate until it is paid in full.
(f)      The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and not subject to challenge in any court. Judgment on an arbitral award may be entered in all courts having jurisdiction over the award, one of the Parties or any of their assets. Other than as necessary to enforce the award in a court, the Parties shall treat the terms of the award as Confidential Information in accordance with Section 13.10.
8.2      Continuation of Work . Pending final resolution of any dispute, the Parties shall continue to fulfill their respective obligations under this Agreement and O&M Agreement; provided that the Company may withhold any amount which is the subject of dispute from any payment otherwise due hereunder during the pendency of any dispute resolution proceeding. If the Asset Manager prevails in such dispute, the Company shall promptly pay to the Asset Manager the unpaid amount in dispute with interest thereon, which interest shall accrue, at the Reference Rate, for each day from and including the date on which such amount was originally due to, but excluding, the date of actual payment thereof.

(a)      If any one or more Project Contracts terminates or is terminated prior to its stated expiry date (unless such termination is solely caused by a material breach after the Effective Date by the Company of the Company’s obligations under such terminated Project Contract(s), and not by the Asset Manager’s breach, negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct under any Transaction Document or in respect of such terminated Project Contract(s)), or if the transactions contemplated by the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in violation of any agreement with or restriction applicable to Seller or the Company, then the Asset Manager shall pay to the Company an amount (the “ Early Termination Payment ”) in cash equal to (1) the amounts set forth opposite the month in which such termination occurs under the column entitled “Early Termination Amount” on Schedule 7.2(a) hereto for such terminated Project Contracts, plus (2) all unpaid interest (if any) accrued under the Transaction Documents through the date of such termination, plus (3) all outstanding and unpaid costs and other amounts (if any) payable to the SDCL Parties under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents through the date of such termination, minus (4) the aggregate amount of any Stipulated Termination Charges in respect of such terminated Project Contracts actually received by the Company, minus (5) the aggregate amount of any net cash proceeds of credit default swap insurance in respect of such terminated Project Contracts actually received by the Company. The Company shall take all reasonable steps required in the Company’s reasonable business judgment to collect and/or support the collection by Asset Manager on behalf of the Company of any Stipulated Termination Charges due to the Company in accordance with the Project Contracts. In the event that both the Company and Asset Manager agree to initiate legal action by or on behalf of the Company against a Lessee to collect any Stipulated Termination Charges due and payable from such Lessee, the Company and Asset Manager will each pay 50% of all reasonable and documented costs (provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any costs, fees or expenses of any counsel that has not been retained by the Company in its sole discretion) incurred by the Company and Asset Manager in connection with such collection efforts. The Asset Manager shall pay any Early Termination Payments to the Company within 180 calendar days after the Company’s notice to the Asset Manager thereof; provided , so long as the Asset Manager continues to make all payments as and when due and payable under Section 7.1 and no AM Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company and the Asset Manager will enter into good faith negotiations with each other during such 180-day period with respect to substituting other replacement projects and project contracts in lieu of paying such Early Termination Payments, increasing the CogenOne Minimum Threshold and/or Combined Minimum Threshold by an amount as the Parties may mutually agree in writing, and/or permitting a grace period or revised payment schedule, in each case pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Parties, and in all cases, subject to the prior written approval of the SDCL Parties’ investment committee and of the Asset Manager’s Board of Directors of any such agreement (which approvals shall be in the sole discretion of each of the SDCL Parties’ investment committee and the Asset Manager’s Board of Directors). For avoidance of doubt, (x) the Asset Manager shall continue to pay any and all Shortfalls payable pursuant to Section 7.1 and all amounts payable under Section 7.1 of the CogenTwo Billing Agreement during such 180-day period and (y) if the Parties fail to reach an agreement by the end of such 180-day period, the Asset Manager shall pay any and all Early Termination Payments to the Company on such 180 th day.
(b)      Without limiting or prejudice to the Asset Manager’s payment and other obligations under Sections 7.1 and 7.2(a), and so long as (i) no AM Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Section 7.2(a) is not applicable and (iii) no default or event of default under a Project Contract has occurred and is continuing, upon notice as provided below, the Asset Manager may request that the Company release the Asset Manager from its obligations under Section 7.1 in respect of any Project Contract, by offering to pay an amount in cash to the Company in an amount to be negotiated in good faith by both Parties. Any such written request for such early termination under this paragraph shall be provided by the Asset Manager to the Company not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date requested for such early termination (unless the SDCL Parties agree to another time period in their sole discretion). Such request shall specify the proposed early termination date (which shall be a Business Day) and proposed early termination payment amount (and may include a proposed percentage sharing of the Qualifying Net Receivables under the applicable Project Contract), and shall be accompanied by a senior officer's certificate of the Asset Manager certifying as to no AM Default having occurred and continuing. For avoidance of doubt, the SDCL Parties’ receipt and negotiation of such request or offer shall not constitute acceptance of, approval of or agreement with, such request or offer in any way whatsoever, and the Asset Manager shall remain obligated to, and shall continue to, make all payments required under Sections 7.1 and 7.2(a), throughout any negotiation of any such offer or request, regardless of the outcome of such negotiations. Nothing in this paragraph shall constitute any commitment whatsoever by any SDCL Party to accept or agree to any request or offer by the Asset Manager under or arising out of this paragraph, which shall in all circumstances be subject to the prior written approval of the SDCL Parties’ investment committee and of the Asset Manager’s Board of Directors (which approvals shall be in the sole discretion of each of the SDCL Parties’ investment committee and the Asset Manager’s Board of Directors).
7.3      Early Payment s . Any Early Termination Payment, payment under Section 7.2(b) and Termination for Convenience Payment (collectively, “ Early Payments ”) shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the SDCL Parties as the result of the occurrence of the applicable termination event and the Asset Manager agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Asset Manager acknowledges that the Early Payments represent a reasonable and fair estimate for the loss that the SDCL Parties may sustain from the early termination of the applicable Project Contract(s), and further acknowledges that except as specifically provided herein the Asset Manager does not have any right to terminate this Article in whole or in part without paying the applicable Early Payments. THE ASSET MANAGER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF ANY EARLY PAYMENT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH TERMINATION OF THIS ARTICLE, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROJECT CONTRACT. The Asset Manager expressly agrees that (i) each Early Payment is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the Early Payments shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Tecogen Parties and the SDCL Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay each Early Payment, (iv) the Tecogen Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 7.3, (v) the Asset Manager’s agreement to pay Early Payments is a material inducement to the SDCL Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and Transaction Documents, and (vi) the Early Payments represent a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the SDCL Parties and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the SDCL Parties or profits lost by the SDCL Parties as a result of such termination of this Article, this Agreement or any Project Contract. Any and all Early Payments shall be fully earned and non-refundable when made.
7.4      Obligations Absolute . With respect to the Asset Manager’s obligations under this Article 7:
(a)      The obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7 shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Lessee’s obligations under the Project Contracts (the “ Lessee Obligations ”) or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Lessee Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Lessee Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7, and the Asset Manager hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. The obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7 are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Lessee Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company or any Lessee liable for any of the Lessee Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Lessee or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Lessee; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Asset Manager may have at any time against any Lessee, any SDCL Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. The obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7 are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Lessee Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by a Lessee, of the Lessee Obligations or any part thereof.
(b)      Further, the obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7 are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any SDCL Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Lessee Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Lessee Obligations; (iii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Lessee Obligations; or (iv) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Asset Manager or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Asset Manager as a matter of law or equity.
(c)      The Asset Manager shall make all payments under this Article 7 in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Asset Manager is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Purchaser or Company) is imposed upon the Asset Manager with respect to any amount payable by it under this Article 7, the Asset Manager will pay to the Company, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Company to receive the same net amount which the Company would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Asset Manager. The Asset Manager will deliver promptly to the Company certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Asset Manager under this Article 7. The obligations of the Asset Manager under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Lessee Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
(d)      Subject to Section 4.3, the Asset Manager consents and agrees that the Purchaser or Company may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness of this Article 7: (1) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Lessee Obligations or any part thereof; (2) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security (if any) for the payment of any Shortfalls or any Qualifying Net Receivables; (3) apply such security (if any) and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Purchaser or Company in its sole discretion may determine; and (4) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Lessee Obligations.
(e)      The Asset Manager waives (1) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of a Lessee, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Purchaser or Company) of the liability of a Lessee; (2) any defense based on any claim that the Asset Manager’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of a Lessee; (3) any right to require the Purchaser or Company to proceed against a Lessee, proceed against or exhaust any security (if any) for the Lessee Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the Purchaser’s or Company’s power whatsoever; (4) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Purchaser or Company; and (5) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. The Asset Manager expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Lessee Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Agreement or of the existence, creation or incurrence of the Lessee Obligations.
(f)      The obligations of the Asset Manager under this Article 7 are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Lessee Obligations, and a separate action may be brought against the Asset Manager to enforce this Article 7 whether or not a Lessee or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
(g)      This Article 7 shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article 7 shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf the Asset Manager is made, or the Purchaser or Company exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Shortfalls and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Purchaser or Company in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Purchaser or Company is in possession of or has released this Agreement and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Asset Manager under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(h)      In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Lessee Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Asset Manager or a Lessee under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all Shortfalls due and payable shall nonetheless be payable by the Asset Manager immediately upon demand by the Company.
(i)      The Asset Manager acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from a Lessee such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of such Lessee as the Asset Manager requires, and that neither the Purchaser nor Company has any duty, and the Asset Manager is not relying on the Purchaser or Company at any time, to disclose to the Asset Manager any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of a Lessee (the Asset Manager waiving any duty on the part of the Purchaser or Company to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
7.5      Supremacy . The provisions expressed in this Article 7 shall prevail over any conflicting or inconsistent provisions contained elsewhere in this Agreement or other Transaction Documents and, except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 7.2, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the other Articles of this Agreement or of the other Transaction Documents.

Within twenty (20) days of the date on which the notice of the dispute was sent, a meeting will be held between the Parties, attended by representatives of the Parties with decision-making authority regarding the dispute, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute.
(c)      If the Parties cannot agree on a settlement of the dispute, controversy or claim within ten (10) days after the date on which the meeting described in Section 8.1(b) takes place, then a Party may refer the dispute to binding arbitration, which shall then be the exclusive method of dispute resolution.

All procedural matters relating to the arbitration shall be decided by the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA, with the exception that discovery of evidence is strictly limited to any document relating to the dispute in the possession of either Party. Neither Party shall be permitted access to the electronic data storage systems of the other Party or to conduct depositions.
(d)      Prior to an arbitral award or court judgment, each Party shall bear its own costs for the dispute, plus one-half of any costs imposed by AAA rules, if applicable. The arbitral award or court judgment shall include a specific sum awarded to the prevailing Party as compensation for attorney fees and costs of the dispute.
(e)      If the award or judgment grants the prevailing Party a sum fixed or readily ascertainable amount by the terms of this Agreement, the arbitrator or court shall also award the prevailing Party interest on that sum compounded monthly from the date the sum was due at the Reference Rate. The entire arbitral award or judgment shall then bear interest compounded monthly at the same rate until it is paid in full.
(f)      The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and not subject to challenge in any court. Judgment on an arbitral award may be entered in all courts having jurisdiction over the award, one of the Parties or any of their assets. Other than as necessary to enforce the award in a court, the Parties shall treat the terms of the award as Confidential Information in accordance with Section 13.10.
8.2      Continuation of Work . Pending final resolution of any dispute, the Parties shall continue to fulfill their respective obligations under this Agreement and O&M Agreement; provided that the Company may withhold any amount which is the subject of dispute from any payment otherwise due hereunder during the pendency of any dispute resolution proceeding. If the Asset Manager prevails in such dispute, the Company shall promptly pay to the Asset Manager the unpaid amount in dispute with interest thereon, which interest shall accrue, at the Reference Rate, for each day from and including the date on which such amount was originally due to, but excluding, the date of actual payment thereof.

Tecogen Completes Sale of Certain Power Purchase Agreements and Related Assets for $7 Million Dollars

WALTHAM, MA, March 7, 2019 – Tecogen Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN), a clean energy company providing ultra-efficient, clean, natural gas-powered on-site power, heating and cooling equipment, is pleased to announce that it has completed the sale of a portion of the assets acquired by Tecogen in May 2017 when it acquired American DG Energy Inc. The assets involve eight projects and include various models of Tecogen cogeneration units, Tecochill water chillers, and conventional air-conditioning systems. The assets were sold for an aggregate purchase price of $7 million to a company managed by the New York office of Sustainable Development Capital (“SDCL”), an investment firm with a proven track record of investment in energy efficiency and decentralized generation projects in the UK, Continental Europe, North America and Asia.
SDCL also contracted with Tecogen to maintain the equipment and perform invoicing for the energy supplied by the equipment to the host sites for the duration of the power purchase agreements. These agreements include performance incentives split evenly by both parties for energy savings collections exceeding the minimum collection guarantees in the agreements. Tecogen will also be responsible for managing customer relationships with the host sites as well as providing billing and asset management services.
“For the past several years we have put a great deal of effort in bringing these and other sites in our ADGE portfolio to a high level of performance,” said Benjamin Locke, Tecogen CEO. “We were very gratified that this hard work established our on-site utility projects as valuable long-term investment instruments which we can monetize while retaining the service contracts.”
David Maxwell, Managing Director of SDCL in New York, said “We are very excited to have invested in Tecogen’s cogeneration portfolio. Tecogen has demonstrated an innovative approach to building and operating carbon efficient energy savings projects in and around the North East of the United States and we are looking forward to an ongoing strategic relationship with the firm”.
Tecogen will use the cash generated by the sale to eliminate debt, support growth in strategic product areas, and strengthen the balance sheet.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(a)
Adjustment to reflect the receipt of cash consideration of $2.0 and $5.0 million, respectively, from the sales of the Company’s interests in two and six agreements, respectively, and associated assets (collectively “the assets”) relating to the generation and sale of energy to an unrelated third party.
(b)
Adjustment to derecognize the carrying value of the assets sold.
(c)
Adjustment to recognize liability for costs related to assets sold which were incurred subsequent to September 30, 2018.
(d)
Adjustment for estimated gain on the sales. The amount of the actual gain will be calculated based on the carrying value of the assets as of the closing of the transactions and therefore differ from the estimate which employs the carrying values as of September 30, 2018.
