CAPSTONE GREEN ENERGY CORPORATION

Article I– OFFICES

Section 1.Registered Office. The registered office of Capstone Green Energy Corporation (hereinafter, called the “corporation”) shall be in the City of Dover, County of Kent, State of Delaware.

Section 2.Other Offices. The corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the corporation may require.

Article II– STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.Place of Meetings.

(A)Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place within or outside the State of Delaware designated by the board of directors. In the absence of any such designation, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation.

(B)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board of directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that stockholder meetings shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). If authorized by the board of directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the board of directors may adopt, stockholders and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication (1) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and (2) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (a) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder; (b) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings; and (iii) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.

Section 2.Annual Meetings of Stockholders. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a date and time designated by the board of directors. Any previously scheduled annual meeting of the stockholders may be postponed by resolution of the board of directors upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such annual meeting of the stockholders.

Section 3.Special Meetings. A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the chairman of the board of directors, or by a majority of the directors or by a committee of the board of directors which has been duly designated by the board of directors and whose powers and authority, as provided in a resolution of the board of directors, include the power to call such meetings, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons. Any previously scheduled special meeting of the stockholders may be postponed by resolution of the board of directors upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such special meeting of the stockholders.

Section 4.Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings. All notices of meetings of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 5 of this Article II not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting being noticed. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted.

Section 5.Manner of Giving Notice; Affidavit of Notice. Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to have been given:

(A)when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the stockholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice; or

(B)if electronically transmitted as provided in Article VIII, Section 1 of these bylaws.

An affidavit of the mailing, electronic transmission or other means of giving any notice of any stockholders’ meeting shall be executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent of the corporation giving such notice, and shall be filed and maintained in the minute book of the corporation.

Section 6.Quorum. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The stockholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

Section 7.Adjourned Meeting and Notice Thereof. Any stockholders’ meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the chairman of the meeting, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting, except as provided in Section 6 of this Article II.

When any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at a meeting at which

the adjournment is taken, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, or unless the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days from the date set for the original meeting. Notice of any such adjourned meeting, if required, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II. At any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 8.Voting. The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of this Article II. Such vote may be by voice vote or by ballot, at the discretion of the chairman of the meeting. Any stockholder entitled to vote on any matter (other than the election of directors) may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal; but, if the stockholder fails to specify the number of shares such stockholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the stockholder’s approving vote is with respect to all shares such stockholder is entitled to vote. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by the DGCL or the certificate of incorporation or the certificate of determination of preferences as to any preferred stock.

At a stockholders’ meeting involving the election of directors, no stockholder shall be entitled to cumulate (i.e., cast for any one or more candidates a number of votes greater than the number of the stockholders shares). The candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be elected.

Section 9.Waiver of Notice or Consent by Absent Stockholders. The transactions of any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, delivers a written waiver signed by such person (or a waiver by electronic transmission by such person) of notice or a consent (manually signed or submitted by electronic transmission) to the holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any annual or special meeting of stockholders. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made part of the minutes of the meeting.

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice of the meeting if such objection is expressly made at the meeting.

Section 10.No Stockholder Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting. Stockholders may take action only at a regular or special meeting of stockholders.

Section 11.Record Date for Stockholder Notice and Voting. For purposes of determining the holders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote, the board of directors may fix,

in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of any such meeting, and in such case only stockholders of record on the date so fixed are entitled to notice and to vote, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date fixed as aforesaid, except as otherwise provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

If the board of directors does not so fix a record date, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

Section 12.Proxies. Every person entitled to vote for directors or on any other matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized (a) by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the secretary of the corporation or (b) by an electronic transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting. A validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it, prior to the vote pursuant thereto, by a writing delivered to the corporation (whether manually signed or electronically transmitted) stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed or electronically transmitted by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person executing or electronically transmitting the proxy, or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of such proxy is received by the corporation before the vote pursuant thereto is counted; provided, however, that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of one (1) year from the date of such proxy, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

Section 13.Inspectors of Election; Opening and Closing the Polls. The board of directors by resolution shall appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act or is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by law.

The chairman of the meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting.

Section 14.Nomination and Stockholder Business Bylaw.

(A)Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

(1)Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting, (b) by or at the

direction of the board of directors or (c) by any stockholder of the corporation who (i) was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this bylaw and at the time of the annual meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote and present in person at the meeting at the meeting and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this bylaw as to such business or nomination. The foregoing clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and included in the corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(2)Without qualification, for nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (A)(1) of this bylaw, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 150th calendar day and not later than the close of business on the 120th calendar prior to the first anniversary of the date of the corporation’s proxy statement released to security holders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been changed by more than thirty (30) calendar days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year’s proxy statement, a proposal shall be received by the corporation no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public announcement of the date of the meeting was made, whichever comes first. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

To be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice (whether given pursuant to this paragraph (A)(2) or paragraph (B) of this Section 14) to the secretary must:

(a)disclose, as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made or any person acting in concert therewith (each a “party”) (i) the name and address of each such party, (ii) (A) the class or series and number of shares of the corporation which are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and of record by each such party, (B) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the corporation, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the corporation or otherwise (a “Derivative Instrument”) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by each such party and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the corporation, (C) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which each such party has a right to vote or transfer any shares of any security of the corporation, or pursuant to which any shares held directly or indirectly by each such party may be voted or transferred by another party, (D) any short interest in any security of the corporation (for purposes of this bylaw a person shall be deemed to have a short interest in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or

share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security), (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the corporation owned beneficially by each such party that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares of the corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such party is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner, (G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder is or may be entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of such party’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information shall be supplemented by such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, not later than ten (10) days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date) and (H) any direct or indirect equity interest, short interest, or Derivative Instrument, or any material contract or agreement of such party in or with any principal competitor of the corporation, (iii) any other information relating to such party that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (whether or not such party intends to deliver a proxy statement or conduct its own proxy solicitation), (iv) a statement as to whether or not each such party will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at least the percentage of voting power of all of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation required under applicable law to carry the proposal, or, in the case of a nomination or nominations for election of directors, at least the percentage of voting power of all of the shares of capital stock of the corporation reasonably believed by the such stockholder of record or beneficial owner or owners, as the case may be, to be sufficient to elect the persons proposed to be nominated by the stockholder of record; (v) the written consent of each such party to the public disclosure of information provided pursuant to this bylaw; (vi) the investment strategy or objective, if any, of the stockholder and each such party; and (vii) an undertaking that each such stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the corporation against any liability, loss or damages incurred as a result of false or misleading information submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Section 14;

(b)if the notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a director or directors that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, set forth (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, or other persons on whose behalf the proposal is made or persons that are acting in concert therewith with respect to such business and (ii) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder;

(c)set forth, as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection to the board of directors (i) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and (ii) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and

other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; and

(d)with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the board of directors, include a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by paragraph (D) of this Section 14.

The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

Further, a stockholder of record providing notice of a nomination of director(s) or other business proposed to be brought before a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this bylaw shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than five (5) business days prior to the date of the meeting, if practicable (or, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to) any adjournment or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

For purposes of this bylaw, a person shall be deemed to be “acting in concert” with another person if such person knowingly acts (whether or not pursuant to an express agreement) in concert with, or towards a common goal relating to the corporation in parallel with, such other person where at least one of the following factors suggests that such persons intend to act in concert or in parallel: exchanging information (whether publicly or privately), attending meetings, conducting discussions or making or soliciting invitations to act in concert or in parallel; provided, that a person shall not be deemed to be acting in concert with any other person solely as a result of the solicitation of proxies after the filing of an effective Schedule 14A under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. A person acting in concert with another person shall be deemed to be acting in concert with any third party who is also acting in concert with such other person.

(3)Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 14 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the board of directors of the corporation is increased and there is no public announcement by the

corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased board of directors at least 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholders notice required by this bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation.

(B)Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors shall only be permitted to be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the board of directors or (b) provided that the board of directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the corporation who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this bylaw and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote and present in person at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this bylaw as to such nomination. In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the board of directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice in the form required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 14 with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by paragraph (D) of this Section 14) shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 150th calendar day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th calendar day prior to the date of such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such special meeting, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the board of directors to be elected at such meeting.

Section 10.Waiver of Notice. The transactions of any meeting of the board of directors, however called and noticed or wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum be present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not present delivers a written waiver signed by such director (or a waiver by electronic transmission by such director) of notice or a consent (manually signed or submitted by electronic transmission) to the holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof.

Section 14.Fees and Compensation of Directors. Directors and members of committees may receive such compensation, if any, for their services and such reimbursement of expenses, as may be fixed or determined by resolution of the board of directors.

EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS

Section 1.Indemnification. The corporation shall indemnify, in the manner and to the full extent permitted by law, any person (or the estate of any person) who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the corporation, and whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is a director or officer of the corporation, and at the discretion of the board of directors may indemnify any person (or the estate of any person) who is such a party or threatened to be made such a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was an employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The corporation may, to the full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person against any liability which may be asserted against him and may enter into contracts providing for the indemnification of such person to the full extent permitted by law. To the full extent permitted by law, the indemnification provided herein shall include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, and, in the manner provided by law, any such expenses may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. The indemnification provided herein shall not be deemed to limit the right of the corporation to indemnify any other person for any such expenses to the full extent permitted by law, nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification from the corporation may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

For the purposes of this Article VI, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VI

with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

For purposes of this Article VI, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include service as a director or officer of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

Article VII– GENERAL CORPORATE MATTERS

Section 1.Record Date for Purposes Other Than Notice and Voting. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days prior to any such action, and in such case only stockholders of record on the date so fixed are entitled to receive the dividend, distribution or allotment of rights or to exercise the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date fixed as aforesaid, except as otherwise provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing or by electronic transmission without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date which shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors.

Section 2.Checks, Drafts, Evidences of Indebtedness. All checks, drafts or other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness, issued in the name of or payable to the corporation shall be signed or endorsed by such person or persons and in such manner as, from time to time, shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors.

Section 3.Corporate Contracts and Instruments, How Executed. The board of directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances; and, unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or to any amount.

Section 4.Stock Certificates. A certificate or certificates for shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall be issued to each stockholder when any such shares are fully paid. All certificates shall be signed in the name of the corporation by the chairman of the board or the president or vice president and by the chief financial officer, the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or any assistant secretary, certifying the number of shares and the class or series of shares owned by the stockholder. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were an officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 5.Lost Certificates. Except as hereinafter in this Section 5 provided, no new stock certificate shall be issued in lieu of an old certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation and canceled at the same time. The board of directors may in case any stock certificate or certificate for any other security is lost, stolen or destroyed, authorize the issuance of a new certificate in lieu thereof, upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors may require, including provision for indemnification of the corporation secured by a bond or other adequate security sufficient to protect the corporation against any claim that may be made against it, including any expense or liability, on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

Section 6.Representation of Stock of Other Corporations. The chairman of the board, the president, or any vice president, or any other person authorized by resolution of the board of directors by any of the foregoing designated officers, is authorized to vote on behalf of the corporation any and all stock of any other corporation or corporations, foreign or domestic, standing in the name of the corporation. The authority herein granted to said officers to vote or represent on behalf of the corporation any and all stock by the corporation in any other corporation or corporations may be exercised by any such officer in person or by any person authorized to do so by proxy duly executed by said officer.

Section 7.Construction and Definitions. Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the Delaware General Corporation Law shall govern the construction of the bylaws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term “person” includes both a corporation and a natural person.

Section 8.Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the board of directors.

Section 9.Exclusive Jurisdiction of Delaware Courts. Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner of stock) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding on behalf of the corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of, or a claim based on, breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, employee or stockholder (including a beneficial owner of stock) of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation’s stockholders (including beneficial owners of stock), (iii) any action asserting a claim against the corporation or any current or former director,

officer, employee or stockholder (including a beneficial owner of stock) of the corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the corporation or any current or former director, officer, employee or stockholder (including a beneficial owner of stock) of the corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware).

Article VIII– NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION

Section 1.Notice by Electronic Transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the Company under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Company. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:

(A)the Company is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Company in accordance with such consent; and

(B)such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.

However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

(A)if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(B)if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(C)if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (i) such posting and (ii) the giving of such separate notice; and

EXHIBIT 99.1

Capstone Turbine Corporation Celebrates Earth Day 2021 with Its Transformation into Capstone Green Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CGRN); Adding New Business Lines, Product Offerings and Network Partners

Capstone CEO, Darren Jamison Provides a Virtual New Company Overview

VAN NUYS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 22, 2021 / Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com) (NASDAQ: CPST) (“Capstone” or the “Company”), the world’s leading manufacturer of clean technology microturbine energy systems, announced today that effective immediately it will become Capstone Green Energy Corporation (www.CapstoneGreenEnergy.com) (NASDAQ: CGRN), a global partner in carbon reduction and on-site resilient green energy solutions. Capstone Green Energy will be adding new business lines, product offerings, network partners, and services as part of the transition.

“This Earth Day, Capstone is celebrating our most tangible achievements in having shipped more than 10,000 units worldwide. Among other things, we estimate we helped customers reduce carbon emissions by approximately 397,000 tons annually in FY21 and saved them over $217 million in annual energy costs over the same time period,” said Capstone Green Energy Chief Executive Officer, Darren Jamison. “The Company is also using this day to announce a more intense focus on accelerating the market adoption of our unique, clean energy technologies and those of our network partners.”

Capstone Green Energy Corporation: Smarter Energy for a Cleaner Future.

“Our name is changing to reflect our evolution as a Company and the developments we are planning. While we have a new name, Capstone’s mission and goals for the future remain resolute, and that is to be a highly trusted partner providing energy conversion systems, microgrid solutions, energy as a service, and strategic energy management. Capstone Green Energy will help customers build and maintain smart energy infrastructure and engage with them as a long-term service provider and partner for their critical carbon saving initiatives,” added Jamison.

With this new name, Capstone demonstrates its intent to remain focused on clean energy technologies, while expanding its carbon reduction solutions portfolio to include new clean energy conversion technologies and battery storage offerings, as well as developing hydrogen-based products and bolstering its Energy as a Service (EaaS) business.

Virtual Company Overview

Capstone Green Energy Chief Executive Officer, Darren Jamison, will discuss the new developments in a virtual press release, which can be accessed here:

CGRN Virtual Press Release

New Capstone Green Energy

As a trusted energy solutions partner, Capstone places the power, literally and strategically, back into the hands of customers, by offering custom solutions that are designed to improve energy costs, reduce carbon footprints and provide energy resiliency. We will execute our strategy through four business lines.

Energy as a Service (EaaS)

Energy Conversion Products

Energy Storage Products

Hydrogen Solutions

EaaS is a growth area for Capstone Green Energy driven by its industry-leading Factory Protection Plan (FPP) service program and its ultra-low emission microturbine rental fleet, which currently stands at 10.6 megawatts (MW). At the same time, the Company’s Distributor Support System (DSS) subscription program generates increased marketing, branding, customer acquisition, documentation and training of its worldwide Capstone distribution partners across 83 countries.

Leveraging its existing, reliable microturbine products, Capstone Green Energy is also proud to announce today that it is currently expanding its energy conversion and storage products with Baker Hughes 5 MW, 12 MW, and 16 MW industrial gas turbines. Capstone selected Baker Hughes as a network partner because of their similar focus on low emissions, long service intervals, low lifecycle costs, and hydrogen development program.

Capstone Green Energy is also introducing this quarter a new hybrid energy solutions product designed to meet a broad range of customized peak shaving and remote energy applications. Specifically, the Company will begin assembling modular hybrid energy stations and Lithium-Ion battery energy storage systems (BESS). These will be sold either individually or combined as part of a custom microturbine-battery storage solution.

Lastly, Capstone Green Energy will continue to expand and develop its Hydrogen Solutions business line. The Company recently demonstrated that it can safely run on a 10% hydrogen – 90% natural gas mix and is currently testing a 70% hydrogen – 30% natural gas configuration through its Research & Development partnership with Argonne National Laboratory. These are promising milestones on the development roadmap to 100% hydrogen solutions.

Changing Energy Landscape

Since the very first microturbine unit shipped more than 20 years ago from Capstone’s headquarters in Southern California, the clean energy landscape has shifted dramatically and includes a substantial increase in clean energy technologies and investments. This is being pushed even further by the rise in public awareness of climate issues and consumer preference.

According to Bloomberg, “In 2020, global investment in the low-carbon energy transition totaled $501.3 billion, up from $458.6 billion in 2019 and just $235.4 billion in 2010.” Investments in clean energy are driving markets and consumer decision-making now, as opposed to being viewed as promising technologies of the future.

“At Capstone Green Energy, we invite customers to partner with us in smart energy solutions to help lower their carbon footprint, increase cost efficiencies, and add resiliency to their business. This is also a reflection of how our customers’ customers view their businesses, and they are increasingly demanding green and sustainable products and services,” concluded Mr. Jamison.

This consumer choice is aptly demonstrated in a Nielsen study showing that, “73% of consumers said they would likely change behavior to reduce their impact on the environment and sustainable and ethical business practices is the second-highest reason most consumers return to a brand, second only to product quality.”

Company History

In 1999, Capstone shipped its first commercial microturbine units and just a short time later announced to the world its clean energy focus in its Initial Public Offering that the Capstone MicroTurbine is a compact, environmentally friendly generator of electricity and heat. Our goal then was the same as it is now: Provide highly efficient, low-emission, cost-effective energy solutions in order to deliver on the promise of a sustainable clean energy future.
