SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” ”seek,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, our plans and expectations regarding future financial results, expected operating results, business strategies, the sufficiency of our cash and our liquidity, projected costs and cost reductions, development of new products and improvements to our existing products, the impact of recently adopted accounting pronouncements, our manufacturing capacity and manufacturing costs, the adequacy of our agreements with our suppliers, legislative actions and regulatory compliance, competitive position, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, our ability to obtain financing, our ability to comply with debt covenants or cure defaults, if any, our ability to repay our obligations as they come due, trends in average selling prices, the success of our PPA Entities, expected capital expenditures, warranty matters, outcomes of litigation, our exposure to foreign exchange, interest and credit risk, general business and economic conditions in our markets, industry trends, the impact of changes in government incentives, risks related to privacy and data security, the likelihood of any impairment of project assets, long-lived assets and investments, trends in revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit (loss), trends in operating expenses including research and development expense, sales and marketing expense and general and administrative expense and expectations regarding these expenses as a percentage of revenue, future deployment of our Energy Servers, expansion into new markets, our ability to expand our business with our existing customers, our ability to increase efficiency of our product, our ability to decrease the cost of our product, our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations .
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors including those discussed in ITEM 1A - Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q . Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q . We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially and adversely from those described or anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors including those discussed under ITEM 1A - Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q .

Bloom Energy Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1. Nature of Business and Liquidity
Nature of Business
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Bloom Energy,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Bloom Energy Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We design, manufacture, sell and, in certain cases, install solid-oxide fuel cell systems ("Energy Servers") for on-site power generation. Our Energy Servers utilize an innovative fuel cell technology. The Energy Servers provide efficient energy generation with reduced operating costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions. By generating power where it is consumed, our energy producing systems offer increased electrical reliability and improved energy security while providing a path to energy independence. We were originally incorporated in Delaware under the name of Ion America Corporation on January 18, 2001 and on September 16, 2006 were renamed to Bloom Energy Corporation.
Liquidity
We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. Our ability to achieve our long-term business objectives depends upon, among other things, raising additional capital, acceptance of our products and attaining future profitability. We believe we will be successful in raising additional financing from our stockholders or from other sources, in expanding operations and in gaining market share. For example, in July 2018, we successfully completed an initial public stock offering ("IPO") with the sale of 20,700,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $15.00 per share, resulting in net cash proceeds of $282.3 million net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital cash flow requirements and other cash flow needs for at least the next 12 months from the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. However, there can be no assurance that in the event we require additional financing, such financing will be available on terms which are favorable or at all.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the consolidated statements of operations, the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, the consolidated statements of convertible redeemable preferred stock, redeemable noncontrolling interest, stockholders' deficit and noncontrolling interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , as well as other information disclosed in the accompanying notes, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures herein are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 , as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2019.
We believe that all necessary adjustments, which consisted only of normal recurring items, have been included in the accompanying financial statements to fairly state the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 .
Certain prior year's amounts reported herein have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts and operations and those of our subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. We use a qualitative approach in assessing the consolidation requirement for each of our variable interest entities ("VIE"), which we refer to as our power purchase agreement entities ("PPA Entities"). This approach focuses on determining whether we have the power to direct those activities of the PPA Entities that most significantly affect their economic performance and whether we have the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that

10


could potentially be significant to the PPA Entities. For all periods presented, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary in all of our operational PPA Entities other than with respect to PPA II, as discussed below.
We evaluate our relationships with the PPA Entities on an ongoing basis to ensure that we continue to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. On June 14, 2019, we entered into a transaction with SP Diamond State Class B Holdings, LLC (“SPDS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Southern Power Company, in which SPDS will purchase a majority interest in PPA II, which operates in Delaware providing alternative energy generation for state tariff rate payers (the "PPA II Project"). PPA II will use the funds received to purchase current generation Bloom Energy Servers in connection with the upgrade of its energy generation assets fleet. In connection with the closing of this transaction, SPDS was admitted as a member of Diamond State Generation Partners, LLC ("DSGP"). DSGP, an operating company, is now owned by Diamond State Generation Holdings, LLC ("DSGH") and SPDS. As a result of the PPA II Project, we determined that we no longer retain a controlling interest in PPA II and therefore DSPG will no longer be consolidated as a VIE into our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019. For additional information, see Note 12 - Power Purchase Agreement Programs - PPA II Upgrade of Energy Servers .
Use of Estimates 
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates include assumptions used to compute the best estimate of selling-prices, the fair value of lease and non-lease components such as estimated output, efficiency and residual value of the Energy Servers, estimates for inventory write-downs, estimates for future cash flows and the economic useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the fair value of investment in PPA Entities, the valuation of other long-term assets, the valuation of certain accrued liabilities such as derivative valuations, estimates for accrued warranty and extended maintenance, estimates for recapture of U.S. Treasury grants and similar grants, estimates for income taxes and deferred tax asset valuation allowances, warrant liabilities, stock-based compensation costs and estimates for the allocation of profit and losses to the noncontrolling interests. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Concentration of Risk
Geographic Risk - The majority of our revenue and long-lived assets are attributable to operations in the United States for all periods presented. Additionally, we sell our Energy Servers in Japan, China, India, and the Republic of Korea (collectively, our Asia Pacific region). In the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , total revenue in the Asia Pacific region was 17.7% and 20.6% , respectively, of our total revenue. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , total revenue in the Asia Pacific region was 0.9% and 9.1% , respectively, of our total revenue.
Credit Risk - At June 30, 2019 , customer A and customer B accounted for 38.2% and 13.4% , respectively, of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2018 , customer A accounted for 66.8% of accounts receivable. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we did not maintain any allowances for doubtful accounts as we deemed all of our receivables fully collectible. To date, we have neither provided an allowance for uncollectible accounts nor experienced any credit loss.

Customer Risk - In the three months ended June 30, 2019 , revenue from customer A, customer B and customer C represented 17% , 52% , and 2% , respectively, of our total revenue. In the six months ended June 30, 2019 , revenue from customer A, customer B and customer C represented 20% , 40% , and 12% , respectively, of our total revenue. Customer A wholly owns a Third-Party PPA which purchases Energy Servers from us, however such purchases and resulting revenue are made on behalf of various customers of this Third-Party PPA. In the three months ended June 30, 2018 , revenue from customer B represented 45% of our total revenue. In the six months ended June 30, 2018 , revenue from customer B represented 49% of our total revenue.

Fair Value Measurement
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
 
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Financial assets utilizing Level 1 inputs typically include money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.
 
 
 
Level 2
 
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Financial instruments utilizing Level 2 inputs include interest rate swaps.
    
Level 3
 
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Financial liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include natural gas fixed price forward contract derivatives. Derivative liability valuations are performed based on a binomial lattice model and adjusted for illiquidity and/or nontransferability and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Guidance Implemented in Fiscal Year 2019
Other than the adoption of accounting guidances mentioned below, there have been no other significant changes in our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows resulting from the adoption of new accounting pronouncements. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 that have had a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or notes thereto as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 .
Hedging Activities - As of January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12") to help entities recognize the economic results of their hedging strategies in the financial statements so that stakeholders can better interpret and understand the effect of hedge accounting on reported results. It is intended to more clearly disclose an entity’s risk exposures and how we manage those exposures through hedging, and it is expected to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. There was not a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption of ASU 2017-12.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses; Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging; and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, that clarifies and improves areas of guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit losses (ASU 2016-13), hedging (ASU 2017-12), and recognition and measurement of financial instruments (ASU 2016-01), respectively. The amendments generally have the same effective dates as their related standards. If already adopted, the amendments of ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and the amendments of ASU 2017-12 are effective as of the beginning of a company’s next annual reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. As discussed above, we adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019 and do not expect the amendments of ASU 2019-04 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes - During the first three months of fiscal 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes—Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (Topic 740) , which requires that entities recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. The standard is effective for us in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the adoption period. Adoption of this standard had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes - During the first three months of fiscal 2019, we adopted ASU 2018-02 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

12


("ASU 2018-02"), which permits reclassification of certain tax effects in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") caused by the U.S. tax reform enacted in December 2017 to retained earnings. We do not have any tax effect (due to full valuation allowance) in our OCI account, thus this guidance has no impact on us.
New Accounting Guidance to be Implemented
Revenue Recognition - In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, as amended ("ASU 2014-14" ) . The guidance provides principles for recognizing revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers with the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, as well as guidance on the recognition of costs related to obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. ASU 2014-14 is effective for our annual period beginning January 1, 2019, and for our interim periods beginning on January 1, 2020. ASU 2014-14 can be adopted using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within the guidance (“full retrospective method”); or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per the guidance (“modified retrospective method”). We will adopt ASU 2014-14 for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 using the modified retrospective method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings on January 1, 2019.
We are currently evaluating whether ASU 2014-14 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and expect its adoption to have an impact related to the costs of obtaining our contracts, customer deposits, and deferred revenue. Most notably, the accounting for incremental costs to obtain customer contracts, which primarily consist of sales commissions, will be allocated to the various elements of the transaction and the portion allocated to obtain extended warranty contracts will be deferred and amortized over the expected service period. Further, in preparation for ASU 2014-14, we are in the process of updating our accounting policies, processes, internal controls over financial reporting, and system requirements.
Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , as amended, which provides new authoritative guidance on lease accounting. Among its provisions, the standard requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for operating leases and also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures about lease arrangements. In March 2019, the FASB issued further guidance in ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) , which provides clarifications to certain lessor transactions and other reporting matters. This guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2020, prospectively, and expect to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for new contracts recognized as operating leases where we are the lessee.
Cloud Computing - In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15") ,  to clarify the guidance on the costs of implementing a cloud computing hosting arrangement that is a service contract. Under ASU 2018-15, the entity is required to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40,  Internal-Use Software , to determine which implementation costs under the service contract to be capitalized as an asset and which costs to expense. ASU 2018-15 is effective for us for the annual periods beginning in 2021 and the interim periods in 2022 on a retrospective or prospective basis and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and impact of ASU 2018-15 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

¹ Recorded in current liabilities and derivative liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
² One MMBTU, or one million British Thermal Units, is a traditional unit of energy used to describe the heat value (energy content) of fuels.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we marked-to-market the fair value of fixed price natural gas forward contracts and recorded a loss of $1.1 million and a gain of $0.8 million , respectively, and recorded gains on the settlement of these contracts of $1.1 million and $1.2 million , respectively, in cost of electricity revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we marked-to-market the fair value of fixed price natural gas forward contracts and recorded a loss of $0.7 million and a loss of $0.1 million , respectively, and recorded gains on the settlement of these contracts of $1.6 million and $2.3 million , respectively, in cost of electricity revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Embedded Derivative on 6% Convertible Promissory Notes - Between December 2015 and September 2016, we issued $260.0 million convertible promissory notes due December 2020 ("6% Notes") to certain investors. The 6% Notes bore a 5% fixed interest rate, payable monthly either in cash or in kind, at our election. We amended the terms of the 6% Notes in June 2017 to reduce the collateral securing the notes and to increase the interest rate from 5% to 6% . The 6% Notes are convertible at the option of the holders at a conversion price of $11.25 per share. Upon the IPO, the final value of the conversion feature was $177.2 million and was reclassified from a derivative liability to additional paid-in capital.

Significant changes in any assumption input in isolation can result in a significant change in fair value measurement. Generally, an increase in the market price of our shares of common stock, an increase in natural gas prices, an increase in the

16


volatility of ours shares of common stock and an increase in the remaining term of the conversion feature would each result in a directionally similar change in the estimated fair value of our derivative liability. Increases in such assumption values would increase the associated liability while decreases in these assumption values would decrease the associated liability. An increase in the risk-free interest rate or a decrease in the market price of our shares of common stock would result in a decrease in the estimated fair value measurement and thus a decrease in the associated liability.

Long-Lived Assets - Our long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment and equity investments in PPA II assets. The carrying amounts of our long-lived assets are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , there was a decommissioning in PPA II, including the replacement and scheduled future replacement during 2019 of installed Energy Servers, resulting in charges related to the decommissioning of PPA II Energy Servers on these assets of $8.1 million which was recognized in cost of electricity revenue in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. As a result of the deconsolidation of DSGP, we remeasured our remaining equity interest in DSGP at fair value. The fair value of our interest in DSGP was determined based upon the projected discounted cash flows of DSGP that are attributable to DSGH’s remaining interest in DSGP, a level 3 fair value measurement. The most significant inputs into the valuation were a projection of future cash inflows from the PPA II tariff and future cash outflows from operations and maintenance of the Energy Servers not subject to SPDS’s purchase interests and the discount rate applied to those cash flows. As a result of our remeasurement, we determined a fair value of $27.8 million as of June 30, 2019, resulting in an immaterial loss relating to the deconsolidation of DSGP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Equity investments in PPA II assets are also financial assets that are not measured on a recurring basis. See Note 12 - Power Purchase Agreement Programs - PPA II Upgrade of Energy Servers for additional information.
No material impairment in the fair value assessment of any long-lived assets was identified in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 .

Our construction in progress decreased $19.8 million, as compared to December 31, 2018, primarily due to our capitalization of leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures placed in service during the period related to our move to our new corporate headquarters.
Our PPA Entities' property, plant and equipment under operating leases was $397.5 million and $397.5 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. The accumulated depreciation for these assets was $90.2 million and $77.4 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

Equity investment in PPA II assets
On June 14, 2019, we entered into a transaction with SPDS for the PPA II upgrade of Energy Servers. In connection with the closing of this transaction, SPDS was admitted as a member of DSGP. DSGP, an operating company, was a wholly owned subsidiary of DSGH prior to June 14, 2019. As a result of the PPA II Project, we determined that we no longer retain a controlling interest in PPA II and therefore DSGP will no longer be consolidated as a VIE into our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019. We determined that we have retained significant influence over DSGP and consequently recognize our remaining interest in DSGP as an equity investment included in other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019. See Note 12 - Power Purchase Agreement Programs - PPA II Upgrade of Energy Servers .

Equity-method investments
In May 2013, we entered into a joint venture with Softbank Corp. and established Bloom Energy Japan limited which is accounted for as an equity-method investment. Under this arrangement, we sell Energy Servers and provide maintenance services to the joint venture.

Recourse debt refers to debt that Bloom Energy Corporation has an obligation to pay. Non-recourse debt refers to debt that is recourse to only specified assets or our subsidiaries. The differences between the unpaid principal balances and the net carrying values apply to debt discounts and deferred financing costs. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

LIBOR + 4% Term Loan due November 2020 - In May 2013, we entered into a $5.0 million credit agreement and a $12.0 million financing agreement to help fund the building of a new facility in Newark, Delaware. The $5.0 million credit agreement expired in December 2016. The $12.0 million financing agreement has a term of 90 months, payable monthly at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin. The weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was 6.5% and 5.9% , respectively. The loan requires monthly payments and is secured by the manufacturing facility. In addition, the credit agreements also include a cross-default provision which provides that the remaining balance of borrowings under the agreements will be due and payable immediately if a lien is placed on the Newark facility in the event we default on any indebtedness in excess of $100,000 individually or $300,000 in the aggregate. Under the terms of these credit agreements, we are required to comply with various restrictive covenants. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the debt outstanding was $2.4 million and $3.3 million , respectively.
5% Convertible Promissory Notes due 2020 (Originally 8% Convertible Promissory Notes due December 2018) - Between December 2014 and June 2016, we issued $193.2 million of three -year convertible promissory notes (" 8% Notes ") to certain investors. The 8% Notes had a fixed interest rate of 8% compounded monthly, due at maturity or at the election of the investor with accrued interest due in December of each year.
On January 18, 2018, amendments were finalized to extend the maturity dates for all the 8% Notes to December 2019. At the same time, the portion of the 8% Notes that was held by Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. ("Constellation") was extended to December 2020 and the interest rate decreased from 8% to 5% (" 5% Notes ").
Investors held the right to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest of both the 8% and 5% notes to Series G convertible preferred stock at any time at the price of $38.64 . In July 2018, upon the Company’s IPO, the $221.6 million of principal and accrued interest of outstanding 8% Notes automatically converted into additional paid-in capital, the conversion of which included all the related-party noteholders. The 8% Notes converted to shares of Series G convertible preferred stock and, concurrently, each such share of Series G convertible preferred stock converted automatically into one share of Class B common stock. Upon the IPO, conversions of 5,734,440 shares of Class B common stock were issued and the 8% Notes were retired. Constellation, the holder of the 5% Notes , had not elected to convert as of June 30, 2019 . The outstanding unpaid principal and accrued interest debt balance of the 5% Notes of $35.6 million was classified as non-current as of June 30, 2019 , and the outstanding unpaid principal and accrued interest debt balances of the 5% Notes of $34.7 million as of December 31, 2018 .
6% Convertible Promissory Notes due December 2020 - Between December 2015 and September 2016, we issued $260.0 million convertible promissory notes due December 2020 (" 6% Notes ") to certain investors. The 6% Notes bore a 5% fixed interest rate, payable monthly either in cash or in kind, at our election. We amended the terms of the 6% Notes in June 2017 to reduce the collateral securing the notes and to increase the interest rate from 5% to 6% .
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the amount outstanding on the 6% Notes , which includes interest paid in kind through the IPO date, was $296.2 million and $296.2 million , respectively. Upon the IPO, the debt was convertible at the option of the holders at the conversion price of $11.25 per share into common stock at any time through the maturity date. In January 2018, we amended the terms of the 6% Notes to extend the convertible put option, which investors could elect only if the IPO did not occur prior to December 2019. After the IPO, we paid the interest in cash when due and no additional interest accrued on the consolidated balance sheet on the 6% Notes .
On or after July 27, 2020, we may redeem, at our option, all or part of the 6% Notes if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least $22.50 for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending within the three trading days immediately preceding the date on which we provide written notice of redemption. In certain circumstances, the 6% Notes are also redeemable at our option in connection with a change of control.
Under the terms of the indenture governing the 6% Notes , we are required to comply with various restrictive covenants, including meeting reporting requirements, such as the preparation and delivery of audited consolidated financial statements, and restrictions on investments. In addition, we are required to maintain collateral which secures the 6% Notes in an amount equal to 200% of the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding notes. This minimum collateral test is not a negative covenant and does not result in a default if not met. However, the minimum collateral test does restrict us with respect to investing in non-PPA subsidiaries. If we do not meet the minimum collateral test, we cannot invest cash into any non-PPA subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the notes. The 6% Notes also include a cross-acceleration provision which provides that the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the 6% Notes may cause such notes to become immediately due and payable if we or any of our subsidiaries default on any indebtedness in excess of $15.0 million such that the repayment of such indebtedness is accelerated.

23


In connection with the issuance of the 6% Notes , we agreed to issue to J.P. Morgan and CPPIB, upon the occurrence of certain conditions, warrants to purchase our common stock up to a maximum of 146,666 shares and 166,222 shares, respectively. On August 31, 2017, J.P. Morgan transferred its rights to CPPIB. Upon completion of the IPO, the 312,888 warrants were net exercised for 312,575 shares of Class B Common stock.
10% Notes due July 2024 - In June 2017, we issued $100.0 million of senior secured notes (" 10% Notes "). The 10% Notes mature between 2019 and 2024 and bear a 10.0% fixed rate of interest, payable semi-annually. The 10% Notes have a continuing security interest in the cash flows payable to us as servicing, operations and maintenance fees and administrative fees from the five active power purchase agreements in our Bloom Electrons program. Under the terms of the indenture governing the notes, we are required to comply with various restrictive covenants including, among other things, to maintain certain financial ratios such as debt service coverage ratios, to incur additional debt, issue guarantees, incur liens, make loans or investments, make asset dispositions, issue or sell share capital of our subsidiaries and pay dividends, meet reporting requirements, including the preparation and delivery of audited consolidated financial statements, or maintain certain restrictions on investments and requirements in incurring new debt. In addition, we are required to maintain collateral which secures the 10% Notes based on debt ratio analyses. This minimum collateral test is not a negative covenant and does not result in a default if not met. However, the minimum collateral test does restrict us with respect to investing in non-PPA subsidiaries. If we do not meet the minimum collateral test, we cannot invest cash into any non-PPA subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the notes.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Swaps
We use various financial instruments to minimize the impact of variable market conditions on its results of operations. We use interest rate swaps to minimize the impact of fluctuations of interest rate changes on its outstanding debt where LIBOR is applied. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
The fair values of the derivatives related to interest rate swap agreements applied to two of our PPA companies designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 on our consolidated balance sheets were as follows (in thousands):

PPA Company IIIb - In September 2013, PPA Company IIIb entered into an interest rate swap arrangement to convert a variable interest rate debt to a fixed rate. We designated and documented our interest rate swap arrangement as a cash flow hedge. The swap’s term ends on October 1, 2020, which is concurrent with the final maturity of the debt floating interest rates reset on a quarterly basis. We evaluate and calculate the effectiveness of the hedge at each reporting date. The effective change was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and was recognized as interest expense on settlement. The notional amounts of the swap were $24.3 million and $24.7 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. We measure the swap at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows using LIBOR rates with appropriate adjustment for credit risk.
We recorded a loss of $23,000 and a gain of $54,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, attributable to the change in swap’s fair value. These gains and losses were included in gain (loss) on revaluation of warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
PPA Company V - In July 2015, PPA Company V entered into zero interest rate swap agreements to convert a variable interest rate debt to a fixed rate. The loss on the swaps prior to designation was recorded in current-period earnings. In July 2015, we designated and documented its interest rate swap arrangements as cash flow hedges. Zero of these swaps matured in 2016, zero will mature on December 21, 2021 and the remaining zero will mature on September 30, 2031. We evaluate and calculate the effectiveness of the hedge at each reporting date. The effective change was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and was recognized as interest expense on settlement. The notional amounts of the swaps were $185.8 million and $186.6 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.
We measure the swaps at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows using LIBOR rates with appropriate adjustment for credit risk. We recorded a gain of $36,000 and a gain of $55,000 attributable to the change in valuation during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. We recorded a gain of $12,000 and a gain of $109,000 attributable to the change in valuation during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. These gains were included in gain (loss) on revaluation of warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Natural Gas Derivatives
On September 1, 2011, we entered into a fixed price fixed quantity fuel forward contract with a gas supplier. This fuel forward contract is used as part of our program to manage the risk for controlling the overall cost of natural gas. Our PPA Company I is the only PPA Company for which we provided natural gas. The fuel forward contract meets the definition of a derivative under U.S. GAAP. We have not elected to designate this contract as a hedge and, accordingly, any changes in its fair value is recorded within cost of electricity revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the contract is determined using a combination of factors including the counterparty’s credit rate and estimates of future natural gas prices.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we marked-to-market the fair value of our fixed price natural gas forward contract and recorded a loss of $1.1 million and a gain of $0.8 million , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we marked-to-market the fair value of our fixed price natural gas forward contract and recorded a loss of $0.7 million and a loss of $0.1 million , respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recorded gains of $1.1 million and $1.2 million , respectively, on the settlement of these contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recorded gains of $1.6 million and $2.3 million , respectively, on the settlement of these contracts. Gains and losses are recorded in cost of electricity revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
6% Convertible Promissory Notes
On December 15, 2015, January 29, 2016, and September 10, 2016, we issued $160.0 million , $25.0 million , and $75.0 million , respectively, of 6% Convertible Promissory Notes (" 6% Notes ") that mature in December 2020. The 6% Notes are contractually convertible at the option of the holders at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of $20.61 or 75% of the offering price of our common stock sold in an initial public offering. Upon the IPO, the options are convertible at the option of the holders at the conversion price of $11.25 per share.
The valuation of this embedded put feature was recorded as a derivative liability in the consolidated balance sheet, measured each reporting period. Fair value was determined using the binomial lattice method. We recorded $0 and a loss of $23.5 million attributable to the change in valuation for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. We recorded $0 and a loss of $31.0 million attributable to the change in valuation for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. These gains and losses were included within loss on revaluation of warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives in gain (loss) on revaluation of warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Upon the IPO, the final value of the conversion feature was $177.2 million and was reclassified from a derivative liability to additional paid-in capital.

8. Common Stock Warrant s
During 2018, all of the preferred and common stock warrants we issued in connection with loan agreements and a dispute settlement converted to warrants to purchase shares of Class B common stock. As of June 30, 2019, we had Class B common stock warrants outstanding to purchase 481,181 and 12,940 shares of Class B common stock at exercise prices of $27.78 and $38.64 , respectively. As of December 31, 2018, we had Class B common stock warrants outstanding to purchase 481,182 and 312,939 shares of Class B common stock at exercise prices of $27.78 and $38.64 , respectively.

9. Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.3 million on a pre-tax loss of $67.0 million for an effective tax rate of (0.4)% , and a provision for income taxes of $0.1 million on a pre-tax loss of $50.1 million for an effective tax rate of (0.3)% , respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.5 million on a pre-tax loss of $155.0 million for an effective tax rate of (0.3)% , and a provision for income taxes of $0.5 million on a pre-tax loss of $72.1 million for an effective tax rate of (0.6)% , respectively.
The effective tax impact for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is lower than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to a full valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.

10. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net loss per share (basic) attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Net loss per share (diluted) is computed by using the "if-converted" method when calculating the potential dilutive effect, if any, of convertible shares whereby net loss attributable to common stockholders is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities such as awards under equity compensation plans and inducement awards under separate restricted stock unit ("RSU") award agreements. Net loss per share (diluted) attributable to common stockholders is then calculated by dividing the resulting adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders by the combined weighted-average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding.
In July 2018 , we completed an initial public offering of our common shares wherein 20,700,000 shares of Class A common stock were sold into the market. Added to existing shares of Class B common stock were shares mandatorily converted from various financial instruments as a result of the IPO.
There were no adjustments to net loss attributable to common stockholders in determining net loss attributable to common stockholders (diluted). Equally, there were no adjustments to the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock (basic) in arriving at the weighted average number of outstanding shares (diluted), as such adjustments would have been antidilutive.
Net loss per share is the same for each class of common stock as they are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights with the exception of voting rights. As a result, net loss per share (basic) and net loss per share (diluted) attributed to common stockholders are the same for both Class A and Class B common stock and are combined for presentation. The following table sets forth the computation of our net loss per share (basic) and net loss per share (diluted) attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except per share amounts):

2002 Stock Plan
Our 2002 Stock Plan (the "2002 Plan") was approved in April 2002 and amended in June 2011. In August 2012 and in connection with the adoption of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"), shares authorized for issuance under the 2002 Plan were cancelled, except for those shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options. As of June 30, 2019 , options to purchase 2,033,654 shares of Class B common stock were outstanding and the weighted average exercise price of outstanding options was $22.74 per share.
2012 Equity Incentive Plan
Our 2012 Plan was approved in August 2012. In April 2018 and in connection with the adoption of the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan"), any reserved shares not issued were carried over to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2019 , options to purchase 10,728,356 shares of Class B common stock were outstanding under the 2012 Plan and the weighted average exercise price of outstanding options under the 2012 Plan was $27.14 per share.

12. Power Purchase Agreement Programs
Overview
In mid-2010, we began offering our Energy Servers through our Bloom Electrons program, which we denote as Power Purchase Agreement Programs, financed via investment entities. Under these arrangements, an operating entity is created (the "Operating Company") which purchases the Energy Server from us. The end customer then enters into a power purchase agreement ("PPA") with the Operating Company to purchase the power generated by the Energy Server(s) at a specified rate per kilowatt hour for a specified term which can range from 10 to 21 years. In some cases similar to direct purchases and leases, the standard one -year warranty and performance guaranties are included in the price of the product. The Operating Company also enters into a master services agreement ("MSA") with us following the first year of service to extend the warranty services and guaranties over the term of the PPA. In other cases, the MSA including warranties and guaranties are billed on a quarterly basis starting in the first quarter following the placed-in-service date of the Energy Servers and continuing over the term of the PPA. The first of such arrangements was considered a sales-type lease and the product revenue from that agreement was recognized up front in the same manner as direct purchase and lease transactions. Substantially all of our subsequent PPAs have been accounted for as operating leases with the related revenue under those agreements recognized ratably over the PPA term as electricity revenue. We recognize the cost of revenue, primarily product costs and maintenance service costs, over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the Energy Server or the term of the PPA.
We and our third-party equity investors (together "Equity Investors") contribute funds into a limited liability investment entity ("Investment Company") that owns and is parent to the Operating Company (together, the "PPA Entities"). The PPA Entities constitute variable investment entities ("VIEs") under U.S. GAAP. We have considered the provisions within the contractual agreements which grant us power to manage and make decisions affecting the operations of these VIEs. We consider that the rights granted to the Equity Investors under the contractual agreements are more protective in nature rather than participating. Therefore, we have determined under the power and benefits criterion of ASC 810 - Consolidations that we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. On June 14, 2019, we entered into a PPA II upgrade of Energy Servers transaction, and as a result we determined that we no longer retain a controlling interest in PPA II and therefore it will no longer be consolidated as a VIE into our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019. See further discussion below.
As the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, we consolidate in our financial statements the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the PPA Entities, and all intercompany balances and transactions between us and the PPA Entities are eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Operating Company acquires Energy Servers from us for cash payments that are made on a similar schedule as if the Operating Company were a customer purchasing an Energy Server from us outright. In the condensed consolidated financial

31


statements, the sales of our Energy Servers to the Operating Company are treated as intercompany transactions after the elimination of intercompany balances. The acquisition of Energy Servers by the Operating Company is accounted for as a non-cash reclassification from inventory to Energy Servers within property, plant and equipment, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In arrangements qualifying for sales-type leases, we reduce these recorded assets by amounts received from U.S. Treasury Department cash grants and from similar state incentive rebates.
The Operating Company sells the electricity to end customers under PPAs. Cash generated by the electricity sales, as well as receipts from any applicable government incentive program, is used to pay operating expenses (including the management and services we provide to maintain the Energy Servers over the term of the PPA) and to service the non-recourse debt with the remaining cash flows distributed to the Equity Investors. In transactions accounted for as sales-type leases, we recognize subsequent customer billings as electricity revenue over the term of the PPA and amortizes any applicable government incentive program grants as a reduction to depreciation expense of the Energy Server over the term of the PPA. In transactions accounted for as operating leases, we recognize subsequent customer payments and any applicable government incentive program grants as electricity revenue over the term of the PPA.
Upon sale or liquidation of a PPA Entity, distributions would occur in the order of priority specified in the contractual agreements.
We have established six different PPA Entities to date. The contributed funds are restricted for use by the Operating Company to the purchase of Energy Servers manufactured by us in our normal course of operations, all six PPA Entities utilized their entire available financing capacity and have completed the purchase of their Energy Servers. Any debt incurred by the Operating Companies is non-recourse to us. Under these structures, each Investment Company is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Equity Investors receive investment tax credits and accelerated tax depreciation benefits. In 2016, we purchased the tax equity investor’s interest in PPA I, which resulted in a change in our ownership interest in PPA I while we continued to hold the controlling financial interest in this company.

PPA II Upgrade of Energy Servers

Transaction Overview
On June 14, 2019, we entered into a transaction with SP Diamond State Class B Holdings, LLC (“SPDS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Southern Power Company, in which SPDS will purchase a majority interest in PPA II, which operates in Delaware providing alternative energy generation for state tariff rate payers (the "PPA II Project"). PPA II will use the received funds to purchase current generation Bloom fuel cell energy servers in connection with the upgrade of its energy generation assets fleet.
In connection with the closing of this transaction, SPDS was admitted as a member of Diamond State Generation Partners, LLC ("DSGP"). DSGP, an operating company, is now owned by Diamond State Generation Holdings, LLC ("DSGH") and SPDS. Subject to (i) the satisfaction by Bloom of certain conditions precedent, and (ii) the non-occurrence of certain events outside of our control, SPDS has agreed to make capital contributions to DSGP sufficient for DSGP to purchase up to approximately 18 megawatts of Energy Servers from us in one or more phases following the closing, decommissioning 19 megawatts of our less efficient older generation Energy Servers. Prior to selling the new generation Energy Servers to DSGP in each phase, we will repurchase a proportionate number of DSGP’s existing Energy Servers and remove such existing Energy Servers from PPA II's site. In the future, subject to our ability to secure additional capital commitments from sources yet to be identified, the remaining 11 megawatts of existing Energy Servers that constitute PPA II may be repurchased by Bloom and replaced by up to approximately 9 megawatts of new Energy Servers to be sold by us to DSGP. After accounting for the funds committed by SPDS, we estimate that we will need to secure approximately $92 million of additional funding in order to complete the upgrade of the PPA II Project. In the event that we are unable to secure financing to fund the deployment of the additional 9 megawatts of new Energy Servers at the PPA II Project, we expect to continue to operate the existing Energy Servers, in which case we may need to amend certain operating permits for the PPA II Project. We will continue as operator of PPA II, but management of DSGP will transfer to SPDS as of the date we have completed the repurchase of all of the interests of Mehetia, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse AG (“Mehetia”), in the PPA II Project.
Obligations to the PPA II Financiers
After giving effect to the admission of SPDS as a member of DSGP at the closing and the retirement of the existing debt, there are three investors in the PPA II Project: Bloom Energy, Mehetia, and SPDS.

32


At closing, we made a partial payment for repurchase of the existing Energy Servers owned by DSGP in the amount of approximately $72.3 million , all of which was used by DSGP (along with additional DSGP's cash reserves) to prepay all of its existing indebtedness associated with PPA II. We also agreed to purchase all of the equity interests in PPA II currently held by Mehetia for an estimated purchase price of $57.5 million . The purchase of Mehetia’s equity interests in PPA II will be effected via multiple payments by us with the final payment to be made no later than March 31, 2020.
In connection with the admission of SPDS as a member of DSGP, the DSGP limited liability company agreement was amended to provide, among other things, for the allocation of revenues, benefits and expenses between us, Mehetia and SPDS. Under the amended limited liability company agreement, until such time as all of Mehetia’s equity interests in PPA II have been repurchased, Mehetia is entitled to 100% of the revenues generated by the PPA II Project from the operation of the existing Energy Servers and we are entitled to none of such revenues. From and after the date that all of Mehetia’s equity interests in PPA II have been repurchased, we will be entitled to 100% of the revenues generated by the PPA II Project from the operation of the existing Energy Servers. Additionally, SPDS is entitled to 100% of the revenues generated by the PPA II Project from the operation of the new Energy Servers. SPDS is also entitled to 100% of any tax attributes, income and loss associated with the new energy servers.
Obligations to DSGP
At closing, we and DSGP entered into two primary commercial contracts: first, a contract for the purchase, sale and installation of the new Energy Servers (the “EPC Agreement”), and second, a contract for the operation and maintenance of the PPA II Project, including both the existing Energy Servers and the new Energy Servers (the “O&M Agreement”). Both the upfront purchase price for the new Energy Servers under the EPC Agreement and the ongoing fees for our operations and maintenance of the PPA II Project under the O&M Agreement are paid on a fixed dollar per kilowatt ($/kW) basis.
Our obligations to DSGP pursuant to the EPC Agreement include: (i) designing, manufacturing, and installing the new Energy Servers, and selling such Energy Servers to DSGP; (ii) obtaining all necessary permits and other governmental approvals necessary for the installation and operation of the new Energy Servers; and (iii) commissioning each of the new Energy Servers upon the completion of installation.
Our obligations to DSGP pursuant to the O&M Agreement include: (i) maintaining all necessary permits and other governmental approvals necessary for the operation of the PPA II Project, and maintaining such permits and approvals throughout the term of the O&M Agreement; (ii) operating and maintaining the PPA II Project in compliance with all applicable laws, permits and regulations; (iii) satisfying the efficiency and output obligations set forth in such O&M Agreement (“Performance Requirements”); and (iv) complying with the requirements of the PPA II Tariff. The O&M Agreement obligates us to repurchase some or all of the Energy Servers constituting the PPA II Project in the event the PPA II Project fails to comply with the Performance Requirements and we fail to remedy such failure after a cure period.
The O&M Agreement for the PPA II Project provides for the following Performance Requirements and indemnity obligations:
Efficiency Guaranty . We warrant to DSGP that the PPA II Project will operate at a cumulative average efficiency level of 50%, including period of operation prior to closing of the PPA II upgrade transaction. If the aggregate average efficiency falls below the specified threshold, we are obligated to make a payment to DSGP equal to the increased expense resulting from such efficiency shortfall, with our aggregate liability for such payments capped at an amount specified in the O&M Agreement. During the period from September 2010 to June 30, 2019, no payments have been made pursuant to the Efficiency Guaranty.
Existing Energy Server Output Warranty . We warrant to DSGP that the remaining existing Energy Servers at the PPA II Project will, in the aggregate, generate a minimum amount of electricity in each calendar quarter, and we are obligated to repair or replace Energy Servers if such Energy Servers fail to satisfy this warranty. If we determine that a repair or replacement is not feasible, we are obligated to repurchase such Energy Servers at the original purchase price. During the period from September 2010 to June 30, 2019, no Energy Servers have been repurchased pursuant to the Existing Energy Server Output Warranty.
New Energy Server Output Warranty . We warrant to DSGP that the new Energy Servers purchased by DSGP in connection with the PPA II Project will, in the aggregate, generate a minimum amount of electricity on a cumulative basis, and we are obligated to repair or replace Energy Servers if such Energy Servers fail to satisfy this warranty. If we determine that a repair or replacement is not feasible, we are obligated to repurchase such Energy Servers at the original purchase price. During the period from the closing of the upgrade to June 30, 2019, no Energy Servers have been repurchased pursuant to the New Energy Server Output Warranty.

33


New Energy Server Output Guaranty. We warrant to DSGP that the new Energy Servers purchased by DSGP in connection with the PPA II Project will, in the aggregate, generate a minimum amount of electricity on a cumulative basis, and we are obligated to make a payment to DSGP to make DSGP for lost revenues resulting from the shortfall below the guaranteed level if such Energy Servers fail to satisfy this warranty, with our aggregate liability for such payments capped at an amount specified in the O&M Agreement. During the period from the closing of the upgrade to June 30, 2019, no payments have been made pursuant to the New Energy Server Output Guaranty.
Other Obligations
In addition to the rights and obligations set forth above, the transaction documents related to the upgrade of the PPA II Project contain certain representations, warranties and covenants of Bloom, DSGH, DSGP, Mehetia and SPDS, including representations and warranties of Bloom and DSGP relating to the conduct of their respective businesses prior to the closing of the transaction, as well as indemnity obligations related to the breach of such representations, warranties and covenants. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify SPDS for losses that may be incurred in the event of certain regulatory, legal or legislative development in an aggregate amount of up to $97.2 million and we have also agreed to indemnify SPDS for losses that may be incurred in connection with the loss or disallowance of certain tax benefits that we expect the upgrade of the PPA II Project to generate, in an aggregate amount of up to $7.5 million . As of June 30, 2019, we established a cash-collateralized letter of credit of $20.0 million under this obligation, and we committed to fund an additional cash-collateralized letter of credit of $20.0 million subsequent to June 30, 2019. Under the terms of the Equity Capital Contribution Agreement, in some circumstances, including in the event that our shares of common stock are trading at a specified price for a specified period, Southern has the right to require that Bloom either (a) provide supplemental Tariff Damages Collateral (as defined in the agreement) in the amount of the difference between the then-applicable Tariff Damages and the Tariff Damages Collateral then-available to Southern pursuant to the LLC Agreement, or (b) make a payment to Southern in the amount of such difference. Based on current deployments, in the event our shares of common stock are trading at a specified price for a specified period, then based on current deployments we anticipate a potential commitment resulting from the difference between the Tariff Damage Collateral and Tariff Damage to be up to an additional $57.2 million.
Obligations Under the PPA II Tariff Agreement
In the event that DSGP claims that a “Forced Outage Event” has occurred under the PPA II tariff, DSGP is obligated to purchase and deliver replacement renewable energy credits ("RECs") in an amount equal to the number of megawatt hours for which it receives compensation under the ‘forced outage’ provisions of the tariff, but only if such replacement RECs are available in sufficient quantities and can be purchased for less than $45 per REC. A “Forced Outage Event” is defined under the PPA II tariff agreement as the inability of DSGP to obtain a replacement component part or a service necessary for the operation of the Energy Servers at their nameplate capacity. The PPA II tariff agreement provides for payments to DSGP in the event of a Forced Outage Event lasting in excess of 90 days. For the first 90 days following the occurrence of a Forced Outage Event, no payments are made under this provision of the tariff. Thereafter, DSGP is entitled to payments equal to 70% of the payments that would have been made under the tariff but for the occurrence of the Forced Outage Event-that is, the “Forced Outage Event” provision of the PPA II tariff agreement provides for payments to DSGP under the tariff equal to the amount that would be paid were PPA II Project energy servers operating at 70% of their nameplate capacity, irrespective of actual output. The PPA II tariff agreement also provides that the “Forced Outage Event” protections afforded thereunder shall automatically terminate in the event that we obtain an investment grade rating.
Impact of PPA II Project on Consolidated Financial Statements
As described above, the PPA II Project documents contain certain representations, warranties and covenants of Bloom, DSGH, DSGP, Mehetia and SPDS, including representations and warranties of Bloom and DSGP relating to the conduct of their respective businesses prior to the closing of the transaction, as well as indemnity obligations related to the breach of such representations, warranties and covenants. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify SPDS for losses that may be incurred in the event of certain regulatory, legal or legislative development in an aggregate amount of up to $97.2 million . As of June 30, 2019, we believe these events to be remote and therefore, no liability has been recorded on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
As a result of the transaction with SPDS, we reconsidered whether we should continue to consolidate DSGP. We use a qualitative approach in assessing the consolidation requirement for each of our PPA Entities. This approach focuses on determining whether we have the power to direct those activities of the PPA Entities that most significantly affect their economic performance and whether we have the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the PPA Entities. As a result of the PPA II Project, we determined that we no longer retain a

34


controlling interest in PPA II and therefore it will no longer be consolidated as a VIE into our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019. We determined that we have retained significant influence over DSGP and consequently recognize our remaining interest in DSGP as an equity-method investment as of June 30, 2019.
The PPA II Project occurs in two phases, phase 1 where initially SPDS had its purchased interest in 9.7 megawatts of Energy Servers installed during June 2019, and its remaining phase 2 purchased interest in 8.0 megawatts of Energy Servers to be installed which is expected to occur during the remainder of 2019. As of June 30, 2019, we have sold 9.7 megawatts of our current generation Energy Servers for $87.8 million to DSGP subsequent to its deconsolidation, which is included in product revenue, and recognized installation services of $3.9 million which is included in installation revenue, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Concurrently, we had repurchased and written-off 10.0 megawatts of our earlier generation energy serves for $25.6 million and had installed the 9.7 megawatts of servers at a cost of goods sold of $26.3 million , which is included in cost of product revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. In anticipation of replacing the remaining installed 9.0 megawatts of Energy Servers during 2019 under phase 2 which reduced their previously expected useful lives, we recognized charges related to the decommissioning of PPA II Energy Servers of $8.1 million , which is included in cost of electricity revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Additionally, in paying-off the outstanding debt and interest of PPA II amounting to $77.7 million , we incurred a debt payoff make-whole penalty of $5.9 million , which is included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Finally, we had PPA II debt issuance costs written-off of $1.0 million and additional interest expense incurred for PPA 2 debt payoff of $0.1 million , which is included in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
The PPA II Project resulted in the following impacts on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019: (i) cash and cash equivalents increased $4.6 million , comprised of $115.6 million cash receipts for the sale of new systems to PPA II, mostly offset by $72.3 million used for the repayment of all PPA II debt plus a make-whole payment fee, a $18.7 million distribution to Credit Suisse, the other investor in PPA II, and a $20.0 million reclassification into restricted cash for certain contingent indemnifications for SPDS under the PPA II Project in the form of a letter of credit to SPDS; (ii) inventories decreased $27.0 million due to the sale of 9.7 megawatts of current generation Energy Servers to PPA II during June 2019; (iii) property, plant and equipment decreased $33.7 million , comprised of $25.6 million due to the repurchase and write-off of 10.0 megawatts of older Energy Servers from PPA II plus $8.1 million of charges related to the decommissioning of PPA II Energy Servers for the second phase of energy server replacement, anticipated to occur during the remainder of 2019; (iv) restricted cash long-term increased $8.7 million , comprised of $20.0 million for certain contingent indemnifications for SPDS under the PPA II Project, partially offset by $11.3 million used for the repayment of debt; (v) current portion of non-recourse debt decreased $12.2 million ; (vi) deferred revenue and customer deposits increased $23.8 million related to deposit funding paid by SPDS for new systems in phase 2; (vii) accrued other current liabilities increased $0.4 million , comprised of an increase of $1.1 million for the accrued installation cost for the Energy Servers purchased by SPDS, mostly offset by a decrease of $0.7 million related to the payoff of accrued interest made on PPA II's debt; (viii) long-term portion of non-recourse debt decreased $63.7 million for the payoff of long term portion of PPA II debt, net of debt issuance costs written-off; (ix) noncontrolling interest decreased $18.4 million , comprised of $18.7 million of cash distribution to Credit Suisse resulting from our repurchase of 10.0 megawatts existing Energy Servers, partially offset by $0.3 million related to the HLBV adjustment; and (x) the reclass of $37.0 million from noncontrolling interest to accrued other current liabilities related to our commitment to mandatorily redeem the noncontrolling interest in DSGH by March 31, 2020 under the PPA II Project.

¹ Investor name represents ultimate parent of subsidiary financing the project.
² Investor right on the certain date, upon giving us advance written notice, to sell the membership interests to us or resign or withdraw from the investment partnership.
³ Non-cash contributions consisted of warrants that were issued by us to respective lenders to each PPA Entity, as required by such entity’s credit agreements. The corresponding values are amortized using the effective interest method over the debt term.
4 Installed base decreased from March 31, 2019 due to the repurchase of 10 megawatts of our Energy Servers during June 2019 under the PPA II Project. See disclosures above.
Some of our PPA Entities contain structured provisions whereby the allocation of income and equity to the Equity Investors changes at some point in time after the formation of the PPA Entity. The change in allocations to Equity Investors (or the "flip") occurs based either on a specified future date or once the Equity Investors reaches its targeted rate of return. For PPA Entities with a specified future date for the flip, the flip occurs January 1 of the calendar year immediately following the year that includes the fifth anniversary of the date the last site achieves commercial operation.
The noncontrolling interests in PPA IIIa and PPA IIIb are redeemable as a result of the put option held by the Equity Investors as of June 30, 2019 . The noncontrolling interests in PPA II, IIIa and PPA IIIb are redeemable as a result of the put option held by the Equity Investors as of December 31, 2018 . The redemption value is the put amount. At June 30, 2019 , and December 31, 2018 , the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $0.5 million and $57.3 million , respectively, exceeded the maximum redemption value.

As stated above, we are a minority shareholder in the PPA Entities for the administration of our Bloom Electrons program. PPA Entities contain debt that is non-recourse to us. The PPA Entities also own Energy Server assets for which we do not have title. Although we will continue to have Power Purchase Agreement Program entities in the future and offer customers the ability to purchase electricity without the purchase of Energy Servers, we do not intend to be a minority investor in any new Power Purchase Agreement Program entities.

We believe that by presenting assets and liabilities separate from the PPA Entities, we provide a better view of the true operations of our core business. The table below provides detail into the assets and liabilities of Bloom Energy separate from the PPA Entities. The following table shows Bloom Energy's stand-alone, the PPA Entities combined and these consolidated balances as of June 30, 2019 , and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

Equipment Leases - Beginning in December 2015, we are a party to master lease agreements that provide for the sale of Energy Servers to third parties and the simultaneous leaseback of the systems which we then subleases to customers. The lease agreements expire on various dates through 2025 and there was no recorded rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 .
Purchase Commitments with Suppliers and Contract Manufacturers - In order to reduce manufacturing lead-times and to ensure an adequate supply of inventories, we have agreements with our component suppliers and contract manufacturers to allow long lead-time component inventory procurement based on a rolling production forecast. We are contractually obligated to purchase long lead-time component inventory procured by certain manufacturers in accordance with our forecasts. We can generally give notice of order cancellation at least 90 days prior to the delivery date. However, we may also issue purchase orders to certain of our component suppliers and third-party manufacturers that may not be cancelable. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we had no material open purchase orders with our component suppliers and third-party manufacturers that are not cancelable.
Power Purchase Agreement Program - Under the terms of the Bloom Electrons program (see Note 12 - Power Purchase Agreement Programs - PPA II Upgrade of Energy Servers ), customers agree to purchase power from our Energy Servers at

38


negotiated rates, generally for periods of up to twenty-one years. We are responsible for all operating costs necessary to maintain, monitor and repair these Energy Servers, including the fuel necessary to operate the systems under certain PPA contracts. The risk associated with the future market price of fuel purchase obligations is mitigated with commodity contract futures.
The PPA Entities guarantee the performance of Energy Servers at certain levels of output and efficiency to its customers over the contractual term. The PPA Entities monitor the need for any accruals arising from such guaranties, which are calculated as the difference between committed and actual power output or between natural gas consumption at warranted efficiency levels and actual consumption, multiplied by the contractual rates with the customer. Amounts payable under these guaranties are accrued in periods when the guaranties are not met and are recorded in cost of service revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. We paid $3.5 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively.
In June 2015, PPA V entered into a $131.2 million credit agreement to fund the purchase and installation of Energy Servers. The lenders have commitments to an LC facility with the aggregate principal amount of $6.2 million . The LC facility is to fund the Debt Service Reserve Account. The amount reserved under the LC as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $5.0 million .
Contingencies
Indemnification Agreements - We enter into standard indemnification agreements with our customers and certain other business partners in the ordinary course of business. Our exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves future claims that may be made against us but have not yet been made. To date, we have not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to our indemnification obligations. However, we may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.
Warranty Costs - We generally warrant our products sold to our direct customers for one year following the date of acceptance of the products under a standard one-year warranty. As part of our MSAs, we provide output and efficiency guaranties (collectively “performance guaranties”) to our customers when systems operate below contractually specified levels of efficiency and output. Such amounts have not been material to date.
The standard one-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service conditions, and against manufacturing or performance defects. We accrue this warranty expense using our best estimate of the amount necessary to settle future and existing warranty claims as of the balance sheet date.
Our obligations under our standard one-year warranty and MSA are generally in the form of product replacement, repair or reimbursement for higher customer electricity costs. Further, if the Energy Servers run at a lower efficiency or power output than we committed under our performance guaranty, we will reimburse the customer for the underperformance. Our aggregate reimbursement obligation for this performance guaranty for each order is capped at a portion of the purchase price. Prior to fiscal year 2014, certain MSAs with direct customers were accounted for as separately-priced warranty contracts under ASC 605-20-25 Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts (formerly FTB 90-1), in which we recorded an accrual for any expected costs that exceed the contracted revenues for that one-year service renewal arrangement, and is included as a component of the accrued warranty liability. Customers may renew the MSAs leading to future expense that is not recognized under GAAP until the renewal occurs. Over time, as our service offering evolved and we began managing the Energy Servers taking into consideration individual customer arrangements as well as our Bloom Energy Server fleet management objectives, our service offering evolved to the point that our services changed, becoming a more strategic offering for both us and our customers. Additionally, virtually all of our sales arrangements included bundled sales of maintenance service agreements along with the Energy Servers. The result is that we allocate a certain portion of the contractual revenue related to the Energy Servers to the MSAs based on our BESP compared to the stated amount in the service contracts.
Delaware Economic Development Authority - In March 2012, we entered into an agreement with the Delaware Economic Development Authority to provide a grant of $16.5 million as an incentive to establish a new manufacturing facility in Delaware and to provide employment for full time workers at the facility over a certain period of time. The grant contains two types of milestones that we must complete to retain the entire amount of the grant proceeds. The first milestone was to provide employment for 900 full time workers in Delaware by the end of the first recapture period of September 30, 2017 . The second milestone was to pay these full time workers a cumulative total of $108.0 million in compensation by September 30, 2017 . There are two additional recapture periods at which time we must continue to employ 900 full time workers and the cumulative total compensation paid by us is required to be at least $324.0 million by September 30, 2023 . As of June 30, 2019 , we had 317 full time workers in Delaware and paid $105.6 million in cumulative compensation. As of June 30, 2018 , we had 328 full time workers in Delaware and paid $80.4 million in cumulative compensation. We have so far received $12.0 million of the grant which is contingent upon meeting the milestones through September 30, 2023 . In the event that we do not meet the milestones, we may have to repay the Delaware Economic Development Authority, including up to $5.0 million on

39


September 30, 2021 and up to an additional $2.5 million on September 30, 2023 . As of June 30, 2019 we had cumulatively paid $1.5 million for recapture provisions and recorded $10.5 million in other long-term liabilities for potential recapture.
Self-Generation Incentive Program ("SGIP") - Our PPA Entities’ customers receive payments under the SGIP which is a program specific to the State of California that provides financial incentives for the installation of qualifying new self-generation equipment that we own. The SGIP program issues 50% of the fully anticipated amount in the first year the equipment is placed into service. The remaining incentive is then paid based on the size of the equipment (i.e., nameplate kilowatt capacity) over the subsequent five years .
The SGIP program has operational criteria primarily related to fuel mixture and minimum output for the first five years after the qualified equipment is placed in service. If the operational criteria are not fulfilled, it could result in a partial refund of funds received. However, for certain PPA Entities, we make SGIP reservations on behalf of the PPA Entity and, therefore, the PPA Entity bears the risk of loss if these funds are not paid.
Investment Tax Credits ("ITCs") - Our Energy Servers are eligible for federal ITCs that accrued to qualified property under Internal Revenue Code Section 48 when placed into service. However, the ITC program has operational criteria that extend for five years. If the energy property is disposed or otherwise ceases to be qualified investment credit property before the close of the five year recapture period is fulfilled, it could result in a partial reduction of the incentives. The purchase of Energy Servers were made by the PPA Entities and, therefore, the PPA Entities bear the risk of repayment if the assets placed in service do not meet the ITC operational criteria in the future.
Legal Matters - From time to time, we are involved in disputes, claims, litigation, investigations, proceedings and/or other legal actions consisting of commercial, securities and employment matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. We review all legal matters at least quarterly and assesses whether an accrual for loss contingencies needs to be recorded. The assessment reflects the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular situation. We record an accrual for loss contingencies when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal matters are subject to uncertainties and are inherently unpredictable, so the actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from our estimates. If an unfavorable resolution were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the resolution occurs or on future periods.
In July of 2018, two former executives of Advanced Equities, Inc., Keith Daubenspeck and Dwight Badger, filed a Statement of Claim with the American Arbitration Association in Santa Clara, CA, against us, Kleiner Perkins, Caufield & Byers, LLC (“KPCB”), New Enterprise Associates, LLC (“NEA”) and affiliated entities of both KPCB and NEA seeking to compel arbitration and alleging a breach of a confidential agreement executed between the parties on June 27, 2014 (“Confidential Agreement”). On May 7, 2019, KPCB and NEA were dismissed with prejudice. On June 15, 2019, a Second Amended Statement of Claim was filed against us alleging securities fraud, fraudulent inducement, a breach of the Confidential Agreement, and violation of the California unfair competition law. On July 16, 2019, we filed our Answering Statement and Affirmative Defenses. We believe the Second Amended Statement of Claim to be without merit and, as a result, we have recorded no loss contingency related to this claim.
In June of 2019. Messrs. Daubenspeck and Badger filed a complaint against our CEO, out CFO and our former CFO in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Case No. 1:19-cv-04305, asserting nearly identical claims as those in the pending arbitration discussed above. We believe the complaint to be without merit and, as a result, we have recorded no loss contingency related to this claim.

In March of 2019, the Lincolnshire Police Pension fund filed a class action complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara, against us, certain members of our senior management, certain of our directors and the underwriters in our initial public offering alleging violations under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for alleged misleading statements or omissions in our Form S-1 Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with our July 25, 2018 initial public offering. Two related class action cases were subsequently filed in the Santa Clara County Superior Court against the same defendants containing the same allegations; Rodriquez vs Bloom Energy et al was filed on April 22, 2019 and Evans vs Bloom Energy et al. was filed on May 7, 2019. These cases have been consolidated and a case management schedule has been set, with Plaintiffs' Consolidated Amended Complaint due to be filed with the court by October 14, 2019. Discovery is currently stayed.

In May of 2019, Elissa Roberts filed a class action complaint in the federal district court for the Northern District of California against us and certain of our directors alleging violations under Section 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for alleged misleading statements or omissions in our Form S-1 Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with our July 25, 2018 initial public offering. Lead plaintiff applications were submitted to the court on July 29, 2019 and the lead plaintiff selection hearing is scheduled for September 4, 2019.

14. Segment Information
Segments and the Chief Operating Decision Maker
Our chief operating decision makers ("CODMs"), the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, review financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The CODMs allocate resources and make operational decisions based on direct involvement with our operations and product development efforts. Bloom Energy is managed under a functionally-based organizational structure with the head of each function reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. The CODMs assess performance, including incentive compensation, based upon consolidated operations performance and financial results on a consolidated basis. As such, we have a single reporting segment and operating unit structure.

Bloom Energy Japan Limited
In May 2013, we entered into a joint venture with Softbank Corp., which is accounted for as an equity method investment. Under this arrangement, we sell Energy Servers and provide maintenance services to the joint venture. We recognized related party service revenue of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and related party revenue of $1.7 million , comprised of service revenue of $0.2 million and installation revenue of $1.5 million , for the three months ended June 30, 2018 . We recognized related party service revenue of $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and related party revenue of $30.9 million , comprised of service revenue of $0.3 million , product revenue of $28.3 million , and installation revenue of $2.3 million , for the six months ended June 30, 2018 . Accounts receivable from this joint venture was $9,800 as of June 30, 2019 and $3.3 million as of December 31, 2018.
Diamond State Generation Holdings, LLC
On June 14, 2019, we entered into a transaction with SP Diamond State Class B Holdings for the PPA II upgrade of Energy Servers. In connection with the closing of this transaction, SPDS was admitted as a member of Diamond State Generation Partners, LLC ("DSGP"). DSGP, an operating company was a wholly owned subsidiary of DSGH prior to June 14, 2019. As a result of the PPA II upgrade of Energy Servers transaction, we determined that we no longer retain a controlling interest in PPA II and therefore it will no longer be consolidated as a variable interest entity, or VIE, into our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019. DSGP is considered to be a related party as regards to our PPA II upgrade of Energy Servers transaction for which we recognized related party revenue of approximately $91.6 million , comprised of product revenue of approximately $87.7 million and installation revenue of $3.9 million , for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 . We determined that we have retained significant influence over DSGP and consequently recognize our remaining interest in DSGP as an equity investment as of June 30, 2019. See Note 12 - Power Purchase Agreement Programs - PPA II Upgrade of Energy Servers. We had no accounts receivable from DSGP as of June 30, 2019 .
Consulting Arrangement
In January 2009, we entered into a consulting agreement with General Colin L. Powell, a member of our board of directors, pursuant to which General Powell performs certain strategic planning and advisory services for us. Pursuant to this consulting agreement, General Powell receives compensation of $125,000 per year and reimbursement for reasonable expenses.

Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q , including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties as described under the heading Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements following the Table of Contents of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q . You should review the disclosure under ITEM 1A - Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview
Our solution, our Energy Server, is a stationary power generation platform built for the digital age and capable of delivering highly reliable, uninterrupted, 24x7 constant power that is also clean and sustainable. The Energy Server converts standard low-pressure natural gas or biogas into electricity through an electrochemical process without combustion, resulting in very high conversion efficiencies and lower harmful emissions than conventional fossil fuel generation. A typical configuration produces 250 kilowatts of power in a footprint roughly equivalent to that of half of a standard thirty-foot shipping container, or approximately 125 times more space-efficient than solar power generation. Two hundred fifty (250) kilowatts of power is roughly equivalent to the constant power requirement of a typical big box retail store. Any number of these Energy Server systems can be clustered together in various configurations to form solutions from hundreds of kilowatts to many tens of megawatts. 
We market and sell our Energy Servers primarily through our direct sales organization in the United States, and also have direct and indirect sales channels internationally. Recognizing that deploying our solutions requires a material financial commitment, we have developed a number of financing options to support sales of Energy Servers to customers that lack the financial capability to purchase our Energy Servers directly, who prefer to finance the acquisition using third party financing or who prefer to contract for our services on a pay-as-you-go model.
Our typical target commercial or industrial customer has historically been either an investment-grade entity or a customer with investment-grade attributes such as size, assets and revenue, liquidity, geographically diverse operations and general financial stability. We have recently expanded our below investment-grade customer base and have also expanded internationally to target customers with deployments on a wholesale grid. Given that our customers are typically large institutions with multi-level decision making processes, we generally experience a lengthy sales process.

Purchase and Lease Programs
Initially, we only offered our Energy Servers on a direct purchase basis, in which the customer purchases the product directly from us. In order to expand our offerings to customers who lack the financial capability to purchase our Energy Servers directly and/or who prefer to lease the product or contract for our services on a pay-as-you-go model, we subsequently developed the Traditional Lease, Managed Services, Bloom Electrons program and further, our Third-Party PPA Program. The Third-Party PPA Program carries many of the same obligations as a traditional Bloom Electrons program, except that we do not have any equity interest in the PPA structure. Therefore, the Bloom Electrons programs and the various Third-Party PPA Programs are collectively described here under the Power Purchase Agreement Program(s). The substantial majority of bookings made and revenue generated in recent periods are pursuant to Third-Party PPA Programs.
Power Purchase Agreement Programs
Our customers have the option to purchase electricity produced by our Energy Servers through a financed offering which we refer to as a Power Purchase Agreement Program, whereby one or more parties are equity investors in financing the entities that purchase the Energy Servers. The entity owning the Energy Server then enters into agreements with the customer pursuant to which the customer purchases the electricity generated by the Energy Server for a fixed price per kilowatt-hour. Our Power Purchase Agreement Programs include both the Bloom Electrons program, which includes an equity investment by us and in which we recognize revenue as the electricity is produced, and our Third-Party PPA programs, in which we have no equity investment and we recognize revenue on acceptance.

For further information about our Power Purchase Agreement Programs, see Note 12 - Power Purchase Agreement Programs - PPA II Upgrade of Energy Servers to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
With our Bloom Electrons program, we endeavored to assist our customers' purchases by directly participating in financing the purchase of their Energy Server. More recently, we have moved to providing the same service to our customers without our direct involvement in the capital financing and therefore, having no equity investment in the resulting PPA. We refer to this purchase option as Third-Party PPA arrangements, structured in a near-identical manner and with the same terms and conditions as our Bloom Electrons program (described above), only without our assuming an equity position in the PPA structure. This way, we retain the benefits for the marketability of our Energy Servers without the capital burden and without the potential financial liability.
On June 28, 2019, we sold all of our equity interests in 2018 ESA Project Company, LLC (the “ Project Company ”) to Project Oxygen Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Duke Energy One, Inc. (“ Duke ”). The Project Company is party to a portfolio of power purchase agreements with commercial off-takers. Simultaneously with the sale of equity interests, the Project Company entered into sale agreement with us whereby, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, the Project Company committed to purchase approximately 36.8 MW of Energy Servers from us for a total amount of no more than $249M. Additionally, we agreed to provide operations and maintenance services for the portfolio of Energy Servers. We consider this transaction a Third-Party PPA arrangement. The terms and conditions of this transaction, including the suite of warranties and guaranties provided with respect to the performance of the Energy Servers, are customary for Bloom transactions of this type. 
Lease Programs
In our Lease Programs, we sell the Energy Server to a financing party that in turn leases the Energy Server to the customer. We then enter into an operations and maintenance agreement with the customer. The customer pays the financing party a rent payment and pays us an operations and maintenance fee. In our Lease programs, we recognize revenue at the time of the sale to the financing party, which typically occurs in connection with acceptance.
Managed Services Programs
In our Managed Services Programs, we sell the Energy Server to a financing party and simultaneously lease the Energy Server back from the financing party. We then enter into an Energy Server services agreement with the customer. The customer pays us a fixed payment equal to our lease payment obligation to the financing party. In some cases, the customer may also pay us an operations and maintenance fee. In our Managed Services programs, we recognize revenue at the time of the sale to the financing party, which typically occurs in connection with acceptance.
Purchase Options
Depending upon the purchase option chosen by our customer, either the customer or the financing provider may utilize investment tax credits and other government incentives. However, the timing of the product-related cash flows to us is generally consistent across all of the purchase options. We generally receive all product-related payments by the time that the product is accepted by the end customer.
Our capacity to offer our Energy Servers through any of these arrangements depends in large part on the ability of the parties involved in providing payment for the Energy Servers to monetize the related investment tax credits, accelerated tax depreciation and other incentives, and/or the future power purchase obligations of the end customer. Interest rate fluctuations would also impact the attractiveness of any financing offerings for our customers, and currency exchange fluctuations may also impact the attractiveness of international offerings. The Traditional Lease, Managed Services and Power Purchase Agreement Program options are limited by the creditworthiness of the customer. Additionally, the Traditional Lease and Managed Services options, as with all leases, are also limited by the customer’s willingness to commit to making fixed payments regardless of the performance of the Energy Servers or our performance of our obligations under the customer agreement.
Under each purchase option, we provide warranties and performance guaranties for the Energy Servers’ efficiency and output. Under direct purchase, Traditional Lease, and Power Purchase Agreement Program options, the warranty and performance guaranty is typically included in the price of the Energy Server for the first year. The warranty and performance guaranty may be renewed annually at the customer’s option - as an operations and maintenance services agreement - at predetermined prices for a period of up to 25 years. Historically, our customers have almost always exercised their option to renew under these operations and maintenance services agreements. Under the Power Purchase Agreement Programs, we provide warranties and performance guaranties regarding the Energy Servers’ efficiency to the customer (i.e., the electricity user), and we provide warranties and performance guaranties regarding the Energy Servers’ output to the customer that purchases the Energy Servers. Additionally, under the Managed Services program, the operations and maintenance services

44


agreements are priced separately and included for a fixed period specified in the customer agreement. This period is typically either 6 or 10 years, which may be extended at the option of the parties for additional years with all payments made annually.
Warranty Commitments - We typically provide (i) an output warranty to operate at or above a specified baseload output of the Energy Servers on a site, and (ii) an efficiency warranty to operate at or above a specified level of fuel efficiency. Both are measured on a monthly, cumulative, or other basis, as specified in the Financing Agreement or customer agreement, as applicable. Upon the applicable beneficiary making a warranty claim for a failure of any of our warranty commitments, we are then obligated to repair or replace the Energy Server, or if a repair or replacement is not feasible, to pay the customer an amount approximately equal to the net book value of the Energy Server, after which the Financing Agreement or customer agreement would be terminated.
Performance Guaranties - Our performance guaranties are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, but we typically provide (i) an output guaranty to deliver a specified amount of electricity, and (ii) an efficiency guaranty to operate at or about a specified level of fuel efficiency. The output guaranty and efficiency guaranty are each typically measured on a cumulative basis from the date the applicable Energy Server(s) are commissioned, but the measurement period may be subject to negotiations on a case-by-case basis. In each case, underperformance obligates us to make a payment to the applicable beneficiary, subject to a cap specified in the applicable agreement.

International Channel Partners
Prior to 2018, we consummated a small number of sales outside the United States of America, including in India and Japan. In India, sales activities are currently conducted by Bloom Energy (India) Pvt. Ltd., our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary; however, we are currently evaluating the Indian market to determine whether the use of channel partners would be a beneficial go-to-market strategy to grow our India market sales.
In Japan, sales are conducted pursuant to a Japanese joint venture established between us and subsidiaries of SoftBank Corp, called Bloom Energy Japan Limited ("Bloom Energy Japan"). Under this arrangement, we sell Energy Servers to Bloom Energy Japan and we recognize revenue once the Energy Servers leave the port of the U.S. as Bloom Energy Japan enters into the contract with the end customer and performs all installation work, as well as some of the operations and maintenance work.
In 2018, Bloom Energy Japan consummated a sale of Energy Servers into certain countries in the Asia Pacific region. In addition, we have also entered into a Preferred Distributor Agreement with SK Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. and SKD&D to enable us to sell directly into the Asia Pacific region.

Key Operating Metrics
In addition to the measures presented in the consolidated financial statements, we use the following key operating metrics to evaluate business activity, to measure performance, to develop financial forecasts and to make strategic decisions:
Product accepted - the number of customer acceptances of our Energy Servers in any period. We recognize revenue when an acceptance is achieved. We use this metric to measure the volume of deployment activity. We measure each Energy Server manufactured, shipped and accepted in terms of 100 kilowatt equivalents.
Product costs of product accepted in the period (per kilowatt) - the average unit product cost for the Energy Servers that are accepted in a period. We use this metric to provide insight into the trajectory of product costs and, in particular, the effectiveness of cost reduction activities.
Period costs of manufacturing expenses not included in product costs - the manufacturing and related operating costs that are incurred to procure parts and manufacture Energy Servers that are not included as part of product costs. We use this metric to measure any costs incurred to run our manufacturing operations that are not capitalized (i.e., absorbed) into inventory and therefore, expensed to our consolidated statement of operations in the period that they are incurred.
I nstallation costs on product accepted (per kilowatt) - the average unit installation cost for Energy Servers that are accepted in a given period. This metric is used to provide insight into the trajectory of install costs and, in particular, to evaluate whether our installation costs are in line with our installation billings.

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Acceptances
We use acceptances as a key operating metric to measure the volume of our completed Energy Server installation activity from period to period. We typically define an acceptance as when an Energy Server is installed and running at full power as defined in the customer contract or the financing agreements. For orders where a third party performs the installation, acceptances are generally achieved when the Energy Servers are shipped.
The product acceptances in the period were as follows:

Product costs of product accepted decrease d approximately $440 per kilowatt , or 12.6% , for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 . The product cost reduction was driven generally by our ongoing cost reduction efforts to reduce material costs in conjunction with our suppliers and our reduction in labor and overhead costs through improved automation at our manufacturing facilities.
Product costs of product accepted decrease d approximately $542 per kilowatt , or 14.8% , for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 . The product cost reduction was driven generally by our ongoing cost reduction efforts to reduce material costs in conjunction with our suppliers and our reduction in labor and overhead costs through improved automation at our manufacturing facilities.
Period costs of manufacturing related expenses increase d approximately $0.3 million , or 10.0% , for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 . Our period costs of manufacturing related expenses decrease d primarily as a result of higher absorption of fixed manufacturing costs into product costs due to a larger volume of builds through our factory tied to our acceptance growth, which resulted in higher factory utilization.
Period costs of manufacturing related expenses decrease d approximately $3.5 million , or 25.7% , for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 . Our period costs of manufacturing related expenses decrease d primarily as a result of higher absorption of fixed manufacturing costs into product costs due to a larger volume of builds through our factory tied to our acceptance growth, which resulted in higher factory utilization.
Installation costs on product accepted decrease d approximately $1,340 per kilowatt , or 68.1% , for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 . Each customer site is different and installation costs can vary due to a number of factors, including size and site complexity, such as site and utility location, presence of a storage solution, regulatory and any other customer requirements. As such, installation on a per kilowatt basis can vary significantly from period-to-period. When we achieve international acceptances, our partners are responsible for the installation, and therefore we do not incur installation costs. When we achieve acceptances for upgrading customer sites to our latest technology, installation costs are minimal as most of the installation work and costs were incurred when the site was initially installed. The mix of international acceptances and the PPA II Project contributed to the lower installation cost this quarter

Total Revenue
Total revenue increase d approximately $64.9 million , or 38.4% , for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 . This increase was driven primarily by the increase in product acceptances of approximately 90 systems, or 49.7% , for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 .
Total revenue increase d approximately $96.2 million , or 28.5% , for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 . Revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2018 included a one-time benefit of $45.5 million associated with the 2017 retroactive ITC benefit recognized in the same period in 2018. Excluding this one-time retroactive ITC benefit in 2018, revenue increased during the six months ended June 30, 2019 by approximately $141.7 million, or 48.4% compared to the same period in 2018. This increase was driven primarily by the increase in product acceptances of approximately 159 systems, or 45.8% , for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 .
Product and installation revenue combined increase d approximately $62.3 million , or 46.2% , to $197.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $134.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 . The upfront portion of the product and install revenue increased approximately $67.2 million to $195.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $128.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 . This increase in upfront product and install revenue was primarily due to the increase in upfront acceptances to 271 in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 181 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 . The upfront product and install average selling price increased to $7,203 per kilowatt for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , from $7,093 per kilowatt for the three months ended June 30, 2018 .
Product Revenue
Product revenue increase d approximately $71.2 million , or 65.6% , for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 . This increase was primarily driven by the increase in acceptances of 90 systems, and a higher per unit average selling price associated with those acceptances in the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 .
Product revenue increase d approximately $91.7 million , or 39.9% , for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 . This increase was primarily driven by the increase in acceptances of 159 systems. Product revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2018 included a one-time benefit of $45.5 million associated with the 2017 retroactive ITC benefit recognized in the same period in 2018. Excluding this one-time retroactive ITC benefit in 2018, revenue increased during the six months ended June 30, 2019 by approximately $137.2 million, or 74.4% compared to the same period in 2018.

Installation Revenue
Installation revenue decrease d approximately $9.0 million , or 34.1% , from $26.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 . This decrease was generally driven by the higher mix of international acceptances where we don’t perform the installation service and therefore do not get installation revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 . Installation revenue can increase or decrease from period to period as a result of differences in size and complexity for the sites accepted and the mix of international versus domestic acceptances. Both the cost and revenue of installations can vary based on the size of the installation, the complexity of the installation, the features and ancillary equipment included in the installation, and whether or not we perform the installation as part of the overall scope of the customer contract.

Installation revenue decrease d approximately $0.8 million , or 2.0% , from $40.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $39.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 . This decrease was generally driven by the higher mix of international acceptances, where we don’t perform the installation service for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 .
Service Revenue
Service revenue increase d approximately $3.7 million , or 18.4% , for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 . This was primarily due to the increase in the number of annual maintenance contract renewals driven by our growing fleet of installed Energy Servers.
Service revenue increase d approximately $7.1 million , or 17.7% , for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 . This was primarily due to the increase in the number of annual maintenance contract renewals driven by our growing fleet of installed Energy Servers.
Electricity Revenue
Electricity revenue decrease d approximately $1.1 million , or 7.6% , for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 , due to a reduction in revenues from the PPA II upgrade of Energy Servers transaction, resulting from the reduced output during the period between the decommissioning of the existing products being removed and the commencement of operations of the new products installed as replacements.
Electricity revenue decrease d approximately $1.7 million , or 6.0% , for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 , due to a reduction in revenues from the PPA II upgrade of Energy Servers transaction, resulting from the reduced output during the period between the decommissioning of the existing products being removed and the commencement of operations of the new products installed as replacements.

Total Other Income and Expense
Total other income and expense decrease d $28.0 million and $40.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the change in accounting for warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives that occurred at the time of the IPO, removing the remeasurement requirement for these instruments, and a decrease in interest expense following the conversion of a portion of our debt into equity at the time of the IPO.
Interest Income
Interest income increase d $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 . This increase was primarily due to the increase in interest on the short term investment balances which increased as a result of the proceeds from the IPO.

Interest income increase d $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 . This increase was primarily due to the increase in interest on the short term investment balances which increased as a result of the proceeds from the IPO.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decrease d $5.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 . This decrease was primarily due to lower amortization expense of our debt derivatives and due to the conversion of a portion of our debt into equity at the time of the IPO.
Interest expense decrease d $11.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 . This decrease was primarily due to lower amortization expense of our debt derivatives and due to the conversion of a portion of our debt into equity at the time of the IPO.
Interest Expense, Related Parties
Interest expense, related parties decreased $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 . This decrease was due to the conversion of $40.1 million of our 8% Notes from related parties into equity at the time of the IPO.
Interest expense, related parties decreased $2.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 . This decrease was due to the conversion of $40.1 million of our 8% Notes from related parties into equity at the time of the IPO.
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net improved $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 . This change was primarily due to changes in foreign currency translation expense.
Other income (expense), net improved $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 . This change was primarily due to changes in foreign currency translation expense.
Loss on Revaluation of Warrant Liabilities and Embedded Derivatives
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the revaluation of warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives was zero. Upon the IPO, the final valuation of the embedded derivatives related to the 6% Notes was reclassified from a derivative liability to additional paid-in capital. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we recognized net loss of $19.2 million and $23.2 million , respectively, primarily due to an increase in our derivative valuation adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 of $23.5 million and $31.0 million , respectively, which was partially offset by gains recognized from the revaluation of the preferred warrant liability of $4.3 million and $7.6 million , respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2019 , we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2.7 billion . We have financed our operations, including the costs of acquisition and installation of Energy Servers, mainly through a variety of financing arrangements and PPA Entities, credit facilities from banks, sales of our preferred and common stock, debt financings and cash provided from our operations. As of June 30, 2019 , we had $405.8 million of total outstanding recourse debt and $320.8 million of total outstanding non-recourse debt plus other long term liabilities. See Note 6 - Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements for a complete description of our outstanding debt. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had cash and cash equivalents of $308.0 million and $325.1 million , respectively.
In July 2018 , we successfully completed an initial public offering (IPO) of our securities with the sale of 20,700,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $15.00 per share, resulting in cash proceeds of $282.3 million , net of underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering costs. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes including research and development, sales and marketing activities, general and administrative matters, and capital expenditures.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our operating cash flow, capital requirements and other cash flow needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, the rate of growth in the volume of system builds, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, market acceptance of our products, the timing of receipt by us of distributions from our PPA Entities and overall economic conditions. We do not expect to receive significant cash distributions from our PPA Entities. During June 2019, we completed a transaction for the upgrade in PPA II which included new product sale permitting us to repay all the PPA II outstanding debt of $72.3 million . For additional information refer to Note 12. Power Purchase Agreement Programs - PPA II Upgrade of Energy Servers. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional debt or equity financing.

We believe this presentation of net cash provided by (used in) PPA activities is useful to provide the reader with the impact to consolidated cash flows of the PPA Entities in which we have only a minority interest.

Recourse debt refers to debt that Bloom Energy Corporation has an obligation to pay. Non-recourse debt refers to debt that is recourse to only specified assets or subsidiaries of the Company. The differences between the unpaid principal balances and the net carrying values are due to debt discounts and deferred financing costs. We were in compliance with all of our financial covenants as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .
Recourse Debt Facilities
LIBOR + 4% Term Loan due November 2020 - In May 2013, we entered into a $5.0 million credit agreement and a $12.0 million financing agreement to help fund the building of a new facility in Newark, Delaware. The $5.0 million credit agreement expired in December 2016. The $12.0 million financing agreement has a term of 90 months, payable monthly at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin. The weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 6.5% and 5.9% , respectively. The loan requires monthly payments and is secured by the manufacturing facility. In addition, the credit agreements also include a cross-default provision which provides that the remaining balance of borrowings under the agreements will be due and payable immediately if a lien is placed on the Newark facility in the event we default on any indebtedness in excess of $100,000 individually or $300,000 in the aggregate. Under the terms of these credit agreements, we are required to comply with various restrictive covenants. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018 , the debt outstanding was $2.4 million and $3.3 million , respectively.
5% Convertible Promissory Notes due 2020 (Originally 8% Convertible Promissory Notes due December 2018) - Between December 2014 and June 2016, we issued $193.2 million of three-year convertible promissory notes (" 8% Notes ") to certain investors. The 8% Notes had a fixed interest rate of 8% compounded monthly, due at maturity or at the election of the investor with accrued interest due in December of each year.
On January 18, 2018, amendments were finalized to extend the maturity dates for all the 8% Notes to December 2019. At the same time, the portion of the notes that was held by Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. ("Constellation") was extended to December 2020 and the interest rate decreased from 8% to 5% (" 5% Notes ").
Investors held the right to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest of both the 8% Notes and 5% Notes to Series G convertible preferred stock at any time at the price of $38.64 . In July 2018, upon our IPO, the $221.6 million of principal and accrued interest of outstanding 8% Notes automatically converted into additional paid-in capital, the conversion of which included all the related-party noteholders. The 8% Notes converted to shares of Series G convertible preferred stock and, concurrently, each such share of Series G convertible preferred stock converted automatically into one share of Class B common stock. Upon the Company's IPO, 5,734,440 shares of Class B common stock were issued from conversions and the 8% Notes were retired. Constellation, the holders of the 5% convertible promissory notes, have not elected to convert as of June 30, 2019 . The outstanding unpaid principal and accrued interest debt balance of the 5% Note of $34.7 million was classified as non-current as of June 30, 2019 , and

61


the outstanding unpaid principal and accrued interest debt balance of the 8% Notes of $244.7 million was classified as non-current as of December 31, 2018 .
6% Convertible Promissory Notes due December 2020 - Between December 2015 and September 2016, we issued $260.0 million convertible promissory notes due December 2020 (" 6% Notes ") to certain investors. The 6% Notes bore a 5% fixed interest rate, payable monthly either in cash or in kind, at our election. We amended the terms of the 6% Notes in June 2017 to reduce the collateral securing the notes and to increase the interest rate from 5% to 6% .
As of June 30, 2019 and 2018 , the amount outstanding on the 6% Notes, which includes interest paid in kind through the IPO date, was $296.2 million and $286.1 million , respectively. Upon the IPO, the debt is convertible at the option of the holders at the conversion price of $11.25 per share into common stock at any time through the maturity date. In January 2018, we amended the terms of the 6% Notes to extend the convertible put option, which investors could elect only if the IPO did not occur prior to December 2019. After the IPO, we paid the interest in cash when due and no additional interest accrued on the consolidated balance sheet on the 6% Notes .
On or after July 27, 2020, we may redeem, at our option, all or part of the 6% Notes if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least $22.50 for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending within the three trading days immediately preceding the date on which we provide written notice of redemption. In certain circumstances, the 6% Notes are also redeemable at our option in connection with a change of control.
Under the terms of the indenture governing the 6% Notes , we are required to comply with various restrictive covenants, including meeting reporting requirements, such as the preparation and delivery of audited consolidated financial statements, and restrictions on investments. In addition, we are required to maintain collateral which secures the 6% Notes in an amount equal to 200% of the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding notes. This minimum collateral test is not a negative covenant and does not result in a default if not met. However, the minimum collateral test does restrict us with respect to investing in non-PPA subsidiaries. If we do not meet the minimum collateral test, we cannot invest cash into any non-PPA subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the notes. The 6% Notes also include a cross-acceleration provision which provides that the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the 6% Notes may cause such notes to become immediately due and payable if we or any of our subsidiaries default on any indebtedness in excess of $15.0 million such that the repayment of such indebtedness is accelerated.
In connection with the issuance of the 6% Notes , we agreed to issue to J.P. Morgan and CPPIB, upon the occurrence of certain conditions, warrants to purchase we common stock up to a maximum of 146,666 shares and 166,222 shares, respectively. On August 31, 2017, J.P. Morgan transferred its rights to CPPIB. Upon completion of the IPO, the 312,888 warrants were net exercised for 312,575 shares of Class B Common stock.
10% Notes due July 2024 - In June 2017, we issued $100.0 million of senior secured notes (" 10% Notes "). The 10% Notes mature between 2019 and 2024 and bear a 10.0% fixed rate of interest, payable semi-annually. The 10% Notes have a continuing security interest in the cash flows payable to us as servicing, operations and maintenance fees and administrative fees from the five active power purchase agreements in our Bloom Electrons program. Under the terms of the indenture governing the notes, we are required to comply with various restrictive covenants including, among other things, to maintain certain financial ratios such as debt service coverage ratios, to incur additional debt, issue guarantees, incur liens, make loans or investments, make asset dispositions, issue or sell share capital of our subsidiaries and pay dividends, meet reporting requirements, including the preparation and delivery of audited consolidated financial statements, or maintain certain restrictions on investments and requirements in incurring new debt. As of June 30, 2019 , we were in compliance with all of such covenants. In addition, we are required to maintain collateral which secures the 10% Notes based on debt ratio analyses. This minimum collateral test is not a negative covenant and does not result in a default if not met. However, the minimum collateral test does restrict us with respect to investing in non-PPA subsidiaries. If we do not meet the minimum collateral test, we cannot invest cash into any non-PPA subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the notes.

Non-recourse Debt Facilities
5.22% Senior Secured Term Notes - In March 2013, PPA Company II refinanced its existing debt by issuing 5.22% Senior Secured Notes due March 30, 2025. The total amount of the loan proceeds was $144.8 million , including $28.8 million to repay outstanding principal of existing debt, $21.7 million for debt service reserves and transaction costs and $94.3 million to fund the remaining system purchases. The loan is a fixed rate term loan that bears an annual interest rate of 5.22% payable quarterly. The loan has a fixed amortization schedule of the principal, payable quarterly, which began March 30, 2014 that requires repayment in full by March 30, 2025.

The notes were secured by all the assets of PPA II.
Decommissioning in PPA II - During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , there was a decommissioning in PPA II, including the retirement of the 5.22% Notes outstanding unpaid debt of $76.6 million , which included the accumulated unpaid interest on the debt. See Note 12 - Power Purchase Agreement Programs - PPA II Upgrade of Energy Servers for additional information.
7.5% Term Loan due September 2028 - In December 2012 and later amended in August 2013, PPA IIIa entered into a $46.8 million credit agreement to help fund the purchase and installation of Energy Servers. The loan bears a fixed interest rate of 7.5% payable quarterly. The loan requires quarterly principal payments which began in March 2014. The credit agreement requires us to maintain a debt service reserve for all funded systems, the balance of which was $3.8 million and $3.7 million as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and which was included as part of long-term restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. The loan is secured by all assets of PPA IIIa.
LIBOR + 5.25% Term Loan due October 2020 - In September 2013, PPA IIIb entered into a credit agreement to help fund the purchase and installation of Energy Servers. In accordance with that agreement, PPA IIIb issued floating rate debt based on LIBOR plus a margin of 5.2% , paid quarterly. The aggregate amount of the debt facility is $32.5 million . The loan is secured by all assets of PPA IIIb and requires quarterly principal payments which began in July 2014. The credit agreement requires us to maintain a debt service reserve for all funded systems, the balance of which was $1.7 million and $1.7 million June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and which was included as part of long-term restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. In September 2013, PPA IIIb entered into pay-fixed, receive-float interest rate swap agreement to convert the floating-rate loan into a fixed-rate loan.
6.07% Senior Secured Notes - In July 2014, PPA IV issued senior secured notes amounting to $99.0 million to third parties to help fund the purchase and installation of Energy Servers. The notes bear a fixed interest rate of 6.07% payable quarterly which began in December 2015 and ends in March 2030. The notes are secured by all the assets of the PPA IV. The Note Purchase Agreement requires us to maintain a debt service reserve, the balance of which was $7.7 million as of June 30, 2019 and $6.5 million as of December 31, 2018 , and which was included as part of long-term restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.
LIBOR + 2.5% Term Loan due December 2021 - In June 2015, PPA V entered into a $131.2 million credit agreement to fund the purchase and installation of Energy Servers. The lenders are a group of five financial institutions and the terms included commitments to a letter of credit ("LC") facility (see below). The loan was initially advanced as a construction loan during the development of the PPA V Project and converted into a term loan on February 28, 2017 (the “ Term Conversion Date ”). As part of the term loan’s conversion, the LC facility commitments were adjusted.
In accordance with the credit agreement, PPA V was issued a floating rate debt based on LIBOR plus a margin, paid quarterly. The applicable margins used for calculating interest expense are 2.25% for years 1-3 following the Term Conversion Date and 2.5% thereafter. The loan is secured by all the assets of the PPA V and requires quarterly principal payments which began in March 2017.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk during the first six months of fiscal 2019. Please refer to Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 for a more complete discussion of the market risks we encounter.


64


ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports made as defined in Rules 13-a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2019 . Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2019 , controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding our required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met. Further, the design of a controls system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all controls issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.


65


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
For a discussion of legal proceedings, see "Legal Matters" under Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies , in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. 
We are, and from time to time we may become, involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any other legal proceedings that in the opinion of our management and if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q , including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below, or of additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. In such an event, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline and you could lose all or a portion of your investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business, Industry and Sales
The distributed generation industry is an emerging market and distributed generation may not receive widespread market acceptance .
The distributed generation industry is still relatively nascent in an otherwise mature and heavily regulated industry, and we cannot be sure that potential customers will accept distributed generation broadly, or our Energy Server products specifically. Enterprises may be unwilling to adopt our solution over traditional or competing power sources for any number of reasons including the perception that our technology is unproven, they lack confidence in our business model, the perceived unavailability of back-up service providers to operate and maintain the Energy Servers, and lack of awareness of our product or their perception of regulatory or political headwinds. Because this is an emerging industry, broad acceptance of our products and services is subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. If the market develops more slowly than we anticipate, our business will be harmed.
Our limited operating history and our nascent industry make evaluating our business and future prospects difficult.
From our inception in 2001 through 2009, we were focused principally on research and development activities relating to our Energy Server technology. We did not deploy our first Energy Server and did not recognize any revenue until 2009. Since that initial deployment, our business has expanded significantly over a comparatively short time, given the characteristics of the electric power industry. As a result, we have a limited history operating our business at its current scale. Furthermore, our Energy Server is a new type of product in the nascent distributed energy industry. Consequently, predicting our future revenue and appropriately budgeting for our expenses is difficult, and we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. If actual results differ from our estimates or if we adjust our estimates in future periods, our operating results and financial position could be materially and adversely affected.
Our products involve a lengthy sales and installation cycle and, if we fail to close sales on a regular and timely basis, our business could be harmed.
Our sales cycle is typically 12 to 18 months but can vary considerably. In order to make a sale, we must typically provide a significant level of education to prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of our product and our technology. The period between initial discussions with a potential customer and the eventual sale of even a single product typically depends on a number of factors, including the potential customer’s budget and decision as to the type of financing it chooses to use as well as the arrangement of such financing. Prospective customers often undertake a significant evaluation process which may further extend the sales cycle. Once a customer makes a formal decision to purchase our product, the fulfillment of the sales order by us requires a substantial amount of time. Generally, the time between the entry into a sales contract with a customer and the installation of our Energy Servers can range from nine to twelve months or more. This lengthy sales and installation cycle is subject to a number of significant risks over which we have little or no control. Because of both the long sales and long installation cycles, we may expend significant resources without having certainty of generating a sale.

66


These lengthy sales and installation cycles increase the risk that an installation may not be completed. In some instances, a customer can cancel an order for a particular site prior to installation, and we may be unable to recover some or all of our costs in connection with design, permitting, installation and site preparations incurred prior to cancellation. Cancellation rates can be between 10% and 20% in any given period due to factors outside of our control including an inability to install an Energy Server at the customer’s chosen location because of permitting or other regulatory issues, unanticipated changes in the cost, or other reasons unique to each customer. Our operating expenses are based on anticipated sales levels, and many of our expenses are fixed. If we are unsuccessful in closing sales after expending significant resources or if we experience delays or cancellations, our business could be materially and adversely affected. Since we do not recognize revenue on the sales of our products until installation and acceptance, a small fluctuation in the timing of the completion of our sales transactions could cause operating results to vary materially from period to period.
Our Energy Servers have significant upfront costs, and we will need to attract investors to help customers finance purchases.
Our Energy Servers have significant upfront costs. In order to assist our customers in obtaining financing for our products, we have traditional lease programs with two leasing partners who have prequalified our product and provide financing for customers through various leasing arrangements. In addition to the traditional lease model, we also offer Power Purchase Agreement Programs, including Third-Party PPAs, in which financing the cost of the Energy Server is provided by an Operating Company and funded by a subsidiary investment entity (an "Investment Company") which is financed by us and/or in combination with Equity Investors. We refer to the Operating Company and its subsidiary Investment Company collectively as a PPA Entity. In recent periods, the substantial majority of our end customers have elected to finance their purchases, typically through Third Party PPAs.
We will need to grow committed financing capacity with existing partners or attract additional partners to support our growth. Generally, at any point in time, the deployment of a portion of our backlog is contingent on securing available financing. Our ability to attract third-party financing depends on many factors that are outside of our control, including the investors’ ability to utilize tax credits and other government incentives, our perceived creditworthiness and the condition of credit markets generally. Our financing of customer purchases of our Energy Servers is subject to conditions such as the customer’s credit quality and the expected minimum internal rate of return on the customer engagement, and if these conditions are not satisfied, we may be unable to finance purchases of our Energy Servers, which would have an adverse effect on our revenue in a particular period. If we are unable to help our customers arrange financing for our Energy Servers generally, our business will be harmed. For example, we have been working with financing sources to arrange for additional Third-Party PPA Entities, one of which will need to be finalized in order for our customers to arrange financing so that we can complete our planned installations in the balance of 2019. In addition, while we secured financing to support the installation of approximately 18 megawatts of new products in connection with the upgrade of the PPA II Project, we will need to secure additional financing in order to support our planned completion of such project in the first half of 2020.
If we are unable to procure financing partners willing to finance such deployments, our business would be negatively impacted.
The economic benefits of our Energy Servers to our customers depends on the cost of electricity available from alternative sources including local electric utility companies, which cost structure is subject to change.
We believe that a customer’s decision to purchase our Energy Servers is significantly influenced by the price, the price predictability of electricity generated by our Energy Servers in comparison to the retail price and the future price outlook of electricity from the local utility grid and other renewable energy sources. The economic benefit of our Energy Servers to our customers includes, among other things, the benefit of reducing such customer’s payments to the local utility company. The rates at which electricity is available from a customer’s local electric utility company is subject to change and any changes in such rates may affect the relative benefits of our Energy Servers. Even in markets where we are competitive today, rates for electricity could decrease and render our Energy Servers uncompetitive. Several factors could lead to a reduction in the price or future price outlook for grid electricity, including the impact of energy conservation initiatives that reduce electricity consumption, construction of additional power generation plants (including nuclear, coal or natural gas) and technological developments by others in the electric power industry which could result in electricity being available at costs lower than those that can be achieved from our Energy Servers. If the retail price of grid electricity does not increase over time at the rate that we or our customers expect, it could reduce demand for our Energy Servers and harm our business.
Further, the local electric utility may impose “departing load,” “standby,” or other charges, including power factor charges, on our customers in connection with their acquisition of our Energy Servers, the amounts of which are outside of our control and which may have a material impact on the economic benefit of our Energy Servers to our customers. Changes in the

67


rates offered by local electric utilities and/or in the applicability or amounts of charges and other fees imposed by such utilities on customers acquiring our Energy Servers could adversely affect the demand for our Energy Servers.
In some states and countries, the current low cost of grid electricity, even together with available subsidies, does not render our product economically attractive. If we are unable to reduce our costs to a level at which our Energy Servers would be competitive in such markets, or if we are unable to generate demand for our Energy Servers based on benefits other than electricity cost savings, such as reliability, resilience, or environmental benefits, our potential for growth may be limited.
Furthermore, an increase in the price of natural gas or curtailment of availability could make our Energy Servers less economically attractive to potential customers and reduce demand.
We rely on net metering arrangements that are subject to change.
Because our Energy Servers are designed to operate at a constant output twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and our customers’ demand for electricity typically fluctuates over the course of the day or week, there are often periods when our Energy Servers are producing more electricity than a customer may require, and such excess electricity must be exported to the local electric utility. Many, but not all, local electric utilities provide compensation to our customers for such electricity under “net metering” programs. Utility tariffs, interconnection agreements and net metering requirements are subject to changes in availability and terms. At times in the past, such changes have had the effect of significantly reducing or eliminating the benefits of such programs. Changes in the availability of, or benefits offered by, utility tariffs, the net metering requirements or interconnection agreements in place in the jurisdictions in which we operate could adversely affect the demand for our Energy Servers.
We currently face and will continue to face significant competition.
We compete for customers, financing partners, and incentive dollars with other electric power providers. Many providers of electricity, such as traditional utilities and other companies offering distributed generation products, have longer operating histories, have customer incumbency advantages, have access to and influence with local and state governments, and have access to more capital resources than do we. Significant developments in alternative technologies, such as energy storage, wind, solar, or hydro power generation, or improvements in the efficiency or cost of traditional energy sources, including coal, oil, natural gas used in combustion, or nuclear power, may materially and adversely affect our business and prospects in ways we cannot anticipate. We may also face new competitors who are not currently in the market. If we fail to adapt to changing market conditions and to compete successfully with grid electricity or new competitors, our growth will be limited which would adversely affect our business results.
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue and backlog from a limited number of customers, and the loss of or a significant reduction in orders from a large customer could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and other key metrics.
In any particular period, a substantial amount of our total revenue could come from a relatively small number of customers. As an example, in the six months ended June 30, 2019 , three customers accounted for approximately 72% of our total revenue. In year ended December 31, 2018, two customers accounted for approximately 54% of our total revenue. One of these customers, the Southern Company, wholly owns a Third-Party PPA, and this entity purchases Energy Servers, that are then provided to various end customers under PPAs. The loss of any large customer order or any delays in installations of new Energy Servers with any large customer could materially and adversely affect our business results.
Risks Relating to Our Products and Manufacturing
Our future success depends in part on our ability to increase our production capacity, and we may not be able to do so in a cost-effective manner.
To the extent we are successful in growing our business, we may need to increase our production capacity. Our ability to plan, construct, and equip additional manufacturing facilities is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the following:
The expansion or construction of any manufacturing facilities will be subject to the risks inherent in the development and construction of new facilities, including risks of delays and cost overruns as a result of factors outside our control such as delays in government approvals, burdensome permitting conditions, and delays in the delivery of manufacturing equipment and subsystems that we manufacture or obtain from suppliers.

68


It may be difficult to expand our business internationally without additional manufacturing facilities located outside the United States. Adding manufacturing capacity in any international location will subject us to new laws and regulations including those pertaining to labor and employment, environmental and export import. In addition, it brings with it the risk of managing larger scale foreign operations.
We may be unable to achieve the production throughput necessary to achieve our target annualized production run rate at our current and future manufacturing facilities.
Manufacturing equipment may take longer and cost more to engineer and build than expected, and may not operate as required to meet our production plans.
We may depend on third-party relationships in the development and operation of additional production capacity, which may subject us to the risk that such third parties do not fulfill their obligations to us under our arrangements with them.
We may be unable to attract or retain qualified personnel.
If we are unable to expand our manufacturing facilities, we may be unable to further scale our business. If the demand for our Energy Servers or our production output decreases or does not rise as expected, we may not be able to spread a significant amount of our fixed costs over the production volume, resulting in a greater than expected per unit fixed cost, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our results of operations.
If we are not able to continue to reduce our cost structure in the future, our ability to become profitable may be impaired.
We must continue to reduce the manufacturing costs for our Energy Servers to expand our market. Additionally, certain of our existing service contracts were entered into based on projections regarding service costs reductions that assume continued advances in our manufacturing and services processes which we may be unable to realize. While we have been successful in reducing our manufacturing and services costs to date, the cost of components and raw materials, for example, could increase in the future. Any such increases could slow our growth and cause our financial results and operational metrics to suffer. In addition, we may face increases in our other expenses including increases in wages or other labor costs as well as installation, marketing, sales or related costs. We may continue to make significant investments to drive growth in the future. In order to expand into new electricity markets (in which the price of electricity from the grid is lower) while still maintaining our current margins, we will need to continue to reduce our costs. Increases in any of these costs or our failure to achieve projected cost reductions could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and harm our business and prospects. If we are unable to reduce our cost structure in the future, we may not be able to achieve profitability, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our prospects.
If our Energy Servers contain manufacturing defects, our business and financial results could be harmed.
Our Energy Servers are complex products and they may contain undetected or latent errors or defects. In the past, we have experienced latent defects only discovered once the Energy Server is deployed in the field. Changes in our supply chain or the failure of our suppliers to otherwise provide us with components or materials that meet our specifications could also introduce defects into our products. In addition, as we grow our manufacturing volume, the chance of manufacturing defects could increase. Any manufacturing defects or other failures of our Energy Servers to perform as expected could cause us to incur significant re-engineering costs, divert the attention of our engineering personnel from product development efforts, and significantly and adversely affect customer satisfaction, market acceptance, and our business reputation.
Furthermore, we may be unable to correct manufacturing defects or other failures of our Energy Servers in a manner satisfactory to our customers, which could adversely affect customer satisfaction, market acceptance, and our business reputation.
The performance of our Energy Servers may be affected by factors outside of our control, which could result in harm to our business and financial results .
Field conditions, such as the quality of the natural gas supply and utility processes which vary by region and may be subject to seasonal fluctuations, have affected the performance of our Energy Servers and are not always possible to predict until the Energy Server is in operation. Although we believe we have designed new generations of Energy Servers to better withstand the variety of field conditions we have encountered, as we move into new geographies and deploy new service configurations, we may encounter new and unanticipated field conditions. Adverse impacts on performance may require us to incur significant re-engineering costs or divert the attention of our engineering personnel from product development efforts. Furthermore, we may be unable to adequately address the impacts of factors outside of our control in a manner satisfactory to our customers. Any of these circumstances could significantly and adversely affect customer satisfaction, market acceptance, and our business reputation.

69


If our estimates of useful life for our Energy Servers are inaccurate or we do not meet service and performance warranties and guaranties, or if we fail to accrue adequate warranty and guaranty reserves, our business and financial results could be harmed.
We offer certain customers the opportunity to renew their operations and maintenance service agreements on an annual basis, for up to 25 years, at prices predetermined at the time of purchase of the Energy Server. We also provide performance warranties and guaranties covering the efficiency and output performance of our Energy Servers. Our pricing of these contracts and our reserves for warranty and replacement are based upon our estimates of the life of our Energy Servers and their components, including assumptions regarding improvements in useful life that may fail to materialize. We do not have a long history with a large number of field deployments, and our estimates may prove to be incorrect. Failure to meet these performance warranties and guaranty levels may require us to replace the Energy Servers at our expense or refund their cost to the customer, or require us to make cash payments to the customer based on actual performance, as compared to expected performance, capped at a percentage of the relevant equipment purchase prices. We accrue for product warranty costs and recognize losses on service or performance warranties when required by U.S. GAAP based on our estimates of costs that may be incurred and based on historical experience. However, as we expect our customers to renew their maintenance service agreements each year, the total liability over time may be more than the accrual. Actual warranty expenses have in the past been and may in the future be greater than we have assumed in our estimates, the accuracy of which may be hindered due to our limited history operating at our current scale.
Early generations of our Energy Server did not have the useful life and did not perform at an output and efficiency level that we expected. We implemented a fleet decommissioning program for our early generation Energy Servers in our PPA I program, which resulted in a significant adjustment to revenue in the quarter ended December 31, 2015, as we would otherwise have failed to meet efficiency and output warranties. As of June 30, 2019 , we had a total of 44 megawatts in total deployed early generation servers, including our first and second generation servers, out of our total installed base of 412 megawatts. We expect that our deployed early generation Energy Servers may continue to perform at a lower output and efficiency level and, as a result, the maintenance costs may exceed the contracted prices that we expect to generate if our customers continue to renew their maintenance service agreements in respect of those servers.
Our business is subject to risks associated with construction, utility interconnection, cost overruns and delays, including those related to obtaining government permits and other contingencies that may arise in the course of completing installations.
Because we generally do not recognize revenue on the sales of our Energy Servers until installation and acceptance, our financial results are dependent, to a large extent, on the timeliness of the installation of our Energy Servers. Furthermore, in some cases, the installation of our Energy Servers may be on a fixed price basis, which subjects us to the risk of cost overruns or other unforeseen expenses in the installation process.
The construction, installation, and operation of our Energy Servers at a particular site is also generally subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with national, state, and local laws and ordinances relating to building codes, safety, environmental protection, and related matters, and typically require various local and other governmental approvals and permits, including environmental approvals and permits, that vary by jurisdiction. In some cases, these approvals and permits require periodic renewal. It is difficult and costly to track the requirements of every individual authority having jurisdiction over our installations, to design our Energy Servers to comply with these varying standards, and to obtain all applicable approvals and permits. We cannot predict whether or when all permits required for a given project will be granted or whether the conditions associated with the permits will be achievable. The denial of a permit or utility connection essential to a project or the imposition of impractical conditions would impair our ability to develop the project. In addition, we cannot predict whether the permitting process will be lengthened due to complexities and appeals. Delay in the review and permitting process for a project can impair or delay our and our customers’ abilities to develop that project or may increase the cost so substantially that the project is no longer attractive to us or our customers. Furthermore, unforeseen delays in the review and permitting process could delay the timing of the installation of our Energy Servers and could therefore adversely affect the timing of the recognition of revenue related to the installation, which could harm our operating results in a particular period.
In addition, the completion of many of our installations is dependent upon the availability of and timely connection to the natural gas grid and the local electric grid. In some jurisdictions, the local utility company(ies) or the municipality has denied our request for connection or has required us to reduce the size of certain projects. Any delays in our ability to connect with utilities, delays in the performance of installation-related services, or poor performance of installation-related services by our general contractors or sub-contractors will have a material adverse effect on our results and could cause operating results to vary materially from period to period.

70


Furthermore, we rely on the ability of our third party general contractors to install Energy Servers at our customers’ sites and to meet our installation requirements. We currently work with a limited number of general contractors, which has impacted and may continue to impact our ability to make installations as planned. Our work with contractors or their sub-contractors may have the effect of us being required to comply with additional rules (including rules unique to our customers), working conditions, site remediation, and other union requirements, which can add costs and complexity to an installation project. The timeliness, thoroughness, and quality of the installation-related services performed by some of our general contractors and their sub-contractors in the past have not always met our expectations or standards and in the future may not meet our expectations and standards.
The failure of our suppliers to continue to deliver necessary raw materials or other components of our Energy Servers in a timely manner could prevent us from delivering our products within required time frames, and could cause installation delays, cancellations, penalty payments, and damage to our reputation.
We rely on a limited number of third-party suppliers for some of the raw materials and components for our Energy Servers, including certain rare earth materials and other materials that may be of limited supply. If our suppliers provide insufficient inventory at the level of quality required to meet customer demand or if our suppliers are unable or unwilling to provide us with the contracted quantities (as we have limited or in some case no alternatives for supply), our results of operations could be materially and negatively impacted. If we fail to develop or maintain our relationships with our suppliers, or if there is otherwise a shortage or lack of availability of any required raw materials or components, we may be unable to manufacture our Energy Servers or our Energy Servers may be available only at a higher cost or after a long delay. Such delays could prevent us from delivering our Energy Servers to our customers within required time frames and cause order cancellations. We have had to create our own supply chain for some of the components and materials utilized in our fuel cells. We have made significant expenditures in the past to develop our supply chain. In many cases, we entered into contractual relationships with suppliers to jointly develop the components we needed. These activities were time and capital intensive. Accordingly, the number of suppliers we have for some of our components and materials is limited and in some cases sole sourced. Some of our suppliers use proprietary processes to manufacture components. We may be unable to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers without considerable delay, expense, or at all, as replacing these suppliers could require us either to make significant investments to bring the capability in-house or to invest in a new supply chain partner. Some of our suppliers are smaller, private companies, heavily dependent on us as a customer. If our suppliers face difficulties obtaining the credit or capital necessary to expand their operations when needed, they could be unable to supply necessary raw materials and components needed to support our planned sales and services operations, which would negatively impact our sales volumes and cash flows.
Moreover, we may experience unanticipated disruptions to operations or other difficulties with our supply chain or internalized supply processes due to exchange rate fluctuations, volatility in regional markets from where materials are obtained (particularly China and Taiwan), changes in the general macroeconomic outlook, global trade disputes, political instability, expropriation or nationalization of property, civil strife, strikes, insurrections, acts of terrorism, acts of war, or natural disasters. The failure by us to obtain raw materials or components in a timely manner or to obtain raw materials or components that meet our quantity and cost requirements could impair our ability to manufacture our Energy Servers or increase their costs or service costs of our existing portfolio of Energy Servers under maintenance services agreements. If we cannot obtain substitute materials or components on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, we could be prevented from delivering our Energy Servers to our customers within required timeframes, which could result in sales and installation delays, cancellations, penalty payments, or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, we rely on our suppliers to meet quality standards, and the failure of our suppliers to meet or exceed those quality standards could cause delays in the delivery of our products, cause unanticipated servicing costs, and cause damage to our reputation.
We have, in some instances, entered into long-term supply agreements that could result in insufficient inventory and negatively affect our results of operations.
We have entered into long-term supply agreements with certain suppliers. Some of these supply agreements provide for fixed or inflation-adjusted pricing, substantial prepayment obligations and in a few cases, supplier purchase commitments. These arrangements could mean that we end up paying for inventory that we did not need or that was at a higher price than the market. Further, we face significant specific counterparty risk under long-term supply agreements when dealing with suppliers without a long, stable production and financial history. Given the uniqueness of our product, many of our suppliers do not have a long operating history and are private companies that may not have substantial capital resources. In the event any such supplier experiences financial difficulties, it may be difficult or impossible, or may require substantial time and expense, for us to recover any or all of our prepayments. We do not know whether we will be able to maintain long-term supply relationships with our critical suppliers or whether we may secure new long-term supply agreements. Additionally, many of our parts and

71


materials are procured from foreign suppliers, which exposes us to risks including unforeseen increases in costs or interruptions in supply arising from changes in applicable international trade regulations such as taxes, tariffs or quotas. Any of the foregoing could materially harm our financial condition and our results of operations.
We face supply chain competition, including competition from businesses in other industries, which could result in insufficient inventory and negatively affect our results of operations .
Certain of our suppliers also supply parts and materials to other businesses including businesses engaged in the production of consumer electronics and other industries unrelated to fuel cells. As a relatively low-volume purchaser of certain of these parts and materials, we may be unable to procure a sufficient supply of the items in the event that our suppliers fail to produce sufficient quantities to satisfy the demands of all of their customers, which could materially harm our financial condition and our results of operations.
We, and some of our suppliers, obtain capital equipment used in our manufacturing process from sole suppliers and, if this equipment is damaged or otherwise unavailable, our ability to deliver our Energy Servers on time will suffer.
Some of the capital equipment used to manufacture our products and some of the capital equipment used by our suppliers have been developed and made specifically for us, are not readily available from multiple vendors, and would be difficult to repair or replace if they did not function properly. If any of these suppliers were to experience financial difficulties or go out of business or if there were any damage to or a breakdown of our manufacturing equipment and we could not obtain replacement equipment in a timely manner, our business would suffer. In addition, a supplier’s failure to supply this equipment in a timely manner with adequate quality and on terms acceptable to us could disrupt our production schedule or increase our costs of production and service.
Possible new tariffs could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our business is dependent on the availability of raw materials and components for our Energy Servers, particularly electrical components common in the semiconductor industry, specialty steel products / processing and raw materials. Tariffs imposed on steel and aluminum imports have increased the cost of raw materials for our Energy Servers and decreased the available supply. Additional new tariffs or other trade protection measures which are proposed or threatened and the potential escalation of a trade war and retaliation measures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Although we currently maintain alternative sources for raw materials, our business is subject to the risk of price fluctuations and periodic delays in the delivery of certain raw materials, which tariffs may exacerbate. Disruptions in the supply of raw materials and components could temporarily impair our ability to manufacture our Energy Servers for our customers or require us to pay higher prices in order to obtain these raw materials or components from other sources, which could affect our business and our results of operations. While it is too early to predict how the recently enacted tariffs on imported steel will impact our business, the imposition of tariffs on items imported by us from China or other countries could increase our costs and could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

Risks Relating to Government Incentive Programs
Our business currently depends on the availability of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives, and the reduction, modification, or elimination of such benefits could cause our revenue to decline and harm our financial results.
The U.S. federal government and some state and local governments provide incentives to end users and purchasers of our Energy Servers in the form of rebates, tax credits, and other financial incentives, such as system performance payments and payments for renewable energy credits associated with renewable energy generation. In addition, some countries outside the U.S. also provide incentives to end users and purchasers of our Energy Servers. We currently have operations and sell our Energy Servers in Japan, China, India, and the Republic of Korea, collectively our Asia Pacific region, where Renewable Portfolio Standards ("RPS") are in place to promote the adoption of renewable power generation, including fuel cells. Our Energy Servers have qualified for tax exemptions, incentives, or other customer incentives in many states including the states of California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. Some states have utility procurement programs and/or renewable portfolio standards for which our technology is eligible. Our Energy Servers are currently installed in eleven U.S. states, each of which may have its own enabling policy framework. We rely on these governmental rebates, tax credits, and other financial incentives to significantly lower the effective price of the Energy Servers to our customers in the U. S. and the Asia Pacific region. Our financing partners and Equity Investors in Bloom Electrons programs may also take advantage of these financial incentives, lowering the cost of capital and energy to our customers. However, these incentives or RPS may expire on

72


a particular date, end when the allocated funding is exhausted, or be reduced or terminated as a matter of regulatory or legislative policy.
For example, the previous federal investment tax credit ("ITC"), a federal tax incentive for fuel cell production, expired on December 31, 2016. Without the availability of the ITC benefit incentive, we lowered the price of our Energy Servers to ensure the economics to our customers would remain the same as it was prior to losing the ITC benefit, adversely affecting our gross profit. While the ITC was reinstated by the U.S Congress on February 9, 2018 and made retroactive to January 1, 2017, under current law it will phase out on December 31, 2022.
As another example, the California Self Generation Incentive Program ("SGIP") is a program administered by the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") which provides incentives to investor-owned utility customers that install eligible distributed energy resources. In July 2016, the CPUC modified the SGIP to provide a smaller allocation of the incentives available to generating technologies such as our Energy Servers and a larger allocation to storage technologies. As modified, the SGIP will require all eligible power generation sources consuming natural gas to use a minimum 50% biogas to receive SGIP funds in 2019 and 100% in 2020. In addition, the CPUC provided a further limitation on the available allocation of funds that any one participant may claim under the SGIP. The SGIP will expire on January 21, 2021 absent any extension. Our customer sites accepted benefiting from the SGIP represented approximately 0% and 5% of total sites accepted for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively.
Changes in federal, state, or local programs or the RPS in the Asia Pacific region could reduce demand for our Energy Servers, impair sales financing, and adversely impact our business results. The continuation of these programs depends upon political support which to date has been bipartisan and durable. Nevertheless, one set of political activists aggressively seeks to eliminate these programs while another set seeks to deny access to these programs for any technology that relies on natural gas, regardless of the technology’s positive contribution to reducing air pollution, reducing carbon emissions or enabling electric service to be more reliable and resilient.
We rely on tax equity financing arrangements to realize the benefits provided by investment tax credits and accelerated tax depreciation and, in the event these programs are terminated, our financial results could be harmed.
We expect that any Energy Server deployments through financed transactions (including our Bloom Electrons programs, our leasing programs and any Third-Party PPA Programs) will receive capital from financing parties ("Equity Investors") who derive a significant portion of their economic returns through tax benefits. Equity Investors are generally entitled to substantially all of the project’s tax benefits, such as those provided by the ITC and Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System ("MACRS") or bonus depreciation, until the Equity Investors achieve their respective agreed rates of return. The number of and available capital from potential Equity Investors is limited, we compete with other energy companies eligible for these tax benefits to access such investors, and the availability of capital from Equity Investors is subject to fluctuations based on factors outside of our control such as macroeconomic trends and changes in applicable taxation regimes. Concerns regarding our limited operating history, lack of profitability and that we are only the party who can perform operations and maintenance on our Energy Servers have made it difficult to attract investors in the past. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the future depends on the continued confidence of banks and other financing sources in our business model, the market for our Energy Servers, and the continued availability of tax benefits applicable to our Energy Servers. In addition, conditions in the general economy and financial and credit markets may result in the contraction of available tax equity financing. If we are unable to enter into tax equity financing agreements with attractive pricing terms, or at all, we may not be able to obtain the capital needed to fund our financing programs or use the tax benefits provided by the ITC and MACRS depreciation, which could make it more difficult for customers to finance the purchase of our Energy Servers. Such circumstances could also require us to reduce the price at which we are able to sell our Energy Servers and therefore harm our business, our financial condition, and our results of operations.
Risks Related to Legal Matters and Regulations
We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that could impose substantial costs upon us and cause delays in building our manufacturing facilities.
We are subject to national, state, and local environmental laws and regulations as well as environmental laws in those foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Environmental laws and regulations can be complex and may often change. These laws can give rise to liability for administrative oversight costs, cleanup costs, property damage, bodily injury, fines, and penalties. Recently, for example, we paid rather than contest an administrative penalty of $40,000 and assessed costs of $5,454.43 related to the start-up of upgraded units at our Delaware Fuel Cell Project before such upgraded units were inspected. Capital and operating expenses needed to comply with environmental laws and regulations can be significant, and violations may result in substantial fines and penalties or third-party damages. In addition, ensuring we are in compliance with applicable environmental laws requires significant time and management resources and could cause delays in our ability to build out,

73


equip and operate our facilities as well as service our fleet, which would adversely impact our business, our prospects, our financial condition, and our operating results. In addition, environmental laws and regulations such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act in the United States impose liability on several grounds including for the investigation and cleanup of contaminated soil and ground water, for building contamination, for impacts to human health and for damages to natural resources. If contamination is discovered in the future at properties formerly owned or operated by us or currently owned or operated by us, or properties to which hazardous substances were sent by us, it could result in our liability under environmental laws and regulations. Many of our customers who purchase our Energy Servers have high sustainability standards, and any environmental noncompliance by us could harm our reputation and impact a current or potential customer’s buying decision. The costs of complying with environmental laws, regulations, and customer requirements, and any claims concerning noncompliance or liability with respect to contamination in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or our operating results.
The installation and operation of our Energy Servers are subject to environmental laws and regulations in various jurisdictions, and there is uncertainty with respect to the interpretation of certain environmental laws and regulations to our Energy Servers, especially as these regulations evolve over time.
Bloom is committed to compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations including health and safety standards, and we continually review the operation of our Energy Servers for health, safety, and environmental compliance. Our Energy Servers, like other fuel cell technology-based products of which we are aware, produce small amounts of hazardous wastes and air pollutants, and we seek to ensure that they are handled in accordance with applicable regulatory standards.
Maintaining compliance with laws and regulations can be challenging given the changing patchwork of environmental laws and regulations that prevail at the federal, state, regional, and local level. Most existing environmental laws and regulations preceded the introduction of our innovative fuel cell technology and were adopted to apply to technologies existing at the time, namely large coal, oil, or gas-fired power plants. Currently, there is generally little guidance from these agencies on how certain environmental laws and regulations may or may not be applied to our technology.
For example, natural gas, which is the primary fuel used in our Energy Servers, contains benzene, which is classified as a hazardous waste if it exceeds 0.5 milligrams ("mg") per liter. A small amount of benzene found in the public natural gas pipeline (equivalent to what is present in one gallon of gasoline in an automobile fuel tank which are exempt from federal regulation) is collected by the gas cleaning units contained in our Energy Servers which are typically replaced once every 18 to 24 months by us from customers’ sites. From 2010 to late 2016 and in the regular course of maintenance of the Energy Servers, we periodically replaced the units in our servers under a federal environmental exemption that permitted the handling of such units without manifesting the contents as containing a hazardous waste. Although at the time we believed that we operated under the exemption with the approval of two states that had adopted the federal exemption, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") issued guidance for the first time in late 2016 that differed from our belief and conflicted with the state approvals we had obtained even though we had operated under the exemption since 2010. We have complied with the new guidance and, given the comparatively small quantities of benzene produced, we do not anticipate significant additional costs or risks from our compliance with the revised 2016 guidance. However, the EPA has asked us to show cause why it should not collect approximately $1.0 million in fines from us for the prior period, which we are contesting. Additionally, we paid a nominal fine to an agency in a different state under that state’s environmental laws relating to the operation of our Energy Server under the exemption prior to the issuance of the revised EPA guidance.
Another example relates to the very small amounts of chromium in hexavalent form, or CR+6, which our Energy Servers emit at nanometer scale. This occurs any time a steel super alloy is exposed to high temperatures. CR+6 is found in small concentrations in the air generally. However, exposure to high or significant concentrations over prolonged periods of time can be carcinogenic. While the small amount of chromium emitted by our Energy Servers is initially in the hexavalent form, it converts to a non-toxic trivalent form, or CR+3, rapidly after it leaves the Energy Server. In tests we have conducted, air measurements taken 10 meters from an Energy Server show that the CR+6 is largely converted.
Our Energy Servers do not present any significant health hazard based on our modeling, testing methodology, and measurements. There are several supporting elements to this position including that the emissions from our Energy Servers are in very low concentrations, are emitted as nano-particles that convert to the non-hazardous form CR+3 rapidly, are quickly dispersed into the air, and are not emitted in close proximity to locations where people would be expected to have a prolonged exposure. Nevertheless, we have engineered a technology solution that we are deploying.
Several states in which we currently operate, including California, require permits for emissions of hazardous air pollutants based on the quantity of emissions, most of which require permits only for quantities of emissions that are higher than those observed from our Energy Servers. Other states in which we operate, including New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina, have specific exemptions for fuel cells. Some states in which we operate have CR+6 limits which are an order of

magnitude over our operating range. Within California, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District ("BAAQMD") requires a permit for emissions that are more than 0.00051 lbs/year. Other California regulations require that levels of CR+6 be below 0.00005 µg/m³, which is the level required by Proposition 65 and which requires notification of the presence of CR+6 unless it can be shown to be at levels that do not pose a significant health risk. We have determined that the standards applicable in California in this regard are more stringent than those in any other state or foreign location in which we have installed Energy Servers to date, therefore, deployment of our solution has been focused on California's standards.
There are generally no relevant environmental testing methodology guidelines for a technology such as ours. The standard test method for analyzing emissions cannot be readily applied to our Energy Servers because it would require inserting a probe into an emission stack. Our servers do not have emission stacks; therefore, we have to construct an artificial stack on top of our server in order to conduct a test. If we used the testing methodology similar to what the air districts have used in other large scale industrial products, it would show that we would need to reduce the emissions of CR+6 from our Energy Servers to meet the most stringent requirements. However, we employed a modified test method that is designed to capture the actual operating conditions of our Energy Servers and its distinctly different design from legacy power plants and industrial equipment. Based on our modeling, measured results and analysis, we believe we are in compliance with State of California air regulations. However, it is possible that the California Air Districts will require us to abate or shut down the operations of certain of our existing Energy Servers on a temporary basis or will seek the imposition of monetary fines.
While we seek to comply with air quality and emission standards in every region in which we operate, it is possible that certain customers in other regions may request that we provide the new technology solution for their Energy Servers to comply with the stricter standards imposed by California even though they are not applicable and even though we are under no contractual obligation to do so. We plan to satisfy these requests from customers. Failure or delay in attaining regulatory approval could result in our not being able to operate in a particular local jurisdiction.
These examples illustrate that our technology is moving faster than the regulatory process in many instances. It is possible that regulators could delay or prevent us from conducting our business in some way pending agreement on, and compliance with, shifting regulatory requirements. Such actions could delay the installation of Energy Servers, could result in fines, could require modification or replacement or could trigger claims of performance warranties and defaults under customer contracts that could require us to repurchase their Energy Servers, any of which could adversely affect our business, our financial performance, and our reputation. In addition, new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations could present marketing, political or regulatory challenges and could require us to upgrade or retrofit existing equipment, which could result in materially increased capital and operating expenses.
Furthermore, we have not yet determined whether our Energy Servers will satisfy regulatory requirements in the other states in the U.S. and in international locations in which we do not currently sell Energy Servers but may pursue in the future.
As a fossil fuel-based technology, we may be subject to a heightened risk of regulation, to a potential for the loss of certain incentives, and to changes in our customers’ energy procurement policies.
Although the current generation of Energy Servers running on natural gas produce nearly 50% less carbon emissions compared to the average of U.S. combustion power generation, the operation of our Energy Servers does produce carbon dioxide ("CO2"), which has been shown to be a contributing factor to global climate change. As such, we may be negatively impacted by CO2-related changes in applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, or the requirements of the incentive programs on which we and our customers currently rely. Changes (or a lack of change to comprehensively recognize the risks of climate change and recognize the benefit of our technology as one means to maintain reliable and resilient electric service with a lower greenhouse gas emission profile) in any of the laws, regulations, ordinances, or rules that apply to our installations and new technology could make it illegal or more costly for us or our customers to install and operate our Energy Servers on particular sites, thereby negatively affecting our ability to deliver cost savings to customers, or we could be prohibited from completing new installations or continuing to operate existing projects. Certain municipalities in California have already banned the use of distributed generation products that utilize fossil fuel. Additionally, our customers’ and potential customers’ energy procurement policies may prohibit or limit their willingness to procure our Energy Servers. Our business prospects may be negatively impacted if we are prevented from completing new installations or our installations become more costly as a result of laws, regulations, ordinances, or rules applicable to our Energy Servers, or by our customers’ and potential customers’ energy procurement policies.

Existing regulations and changes to such regulations impacting the electric power industry may create technical, regulatory, and economic barriers which could significantly reduce demand for our Energy Servers or affect the financial performance of current sites.
The market for electricity generation products is heavily influenced by U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign government regulations and policies as well as by internal policies and regulations of electric utility providers. These regulations and policies often relate to electricity pricing and technical interconnection of customer-owned electricity generation. These regulations and policies are often modified and could continue to change, which could result in a significant reduction in demand for our Energy Servers. For example, utility companies commonly charge fees to larger industrial customers for disconnecting from the electric grid or for having the capacity to use power from the electric grid for back-up purposes. These fees could change, thereby increasing the cost to our customers of using our Energy Servers and making them less economically attractive.
In addition, our project with Delmarva Power & Light Company ("the Delaware Project") is subject to laws and regulations relating to electricity generation, transmission, and sale in Delaware and at the federal level.
A law governing the sale of electricity from the Delaware Project was necessary to implement part of several incentives that Delaware offered to Bloom to build our major Manufacturing Center in Delaware. Those incentives have proven controversial in Delaware, in part because our Manufacturing Center, while a significant source of continuing manufacturing employment, has not expanded as quickly as projected. A citizen-antagonist continues to oppose the Delaware Project and seeks support from Delaware officials and others. In 2018, he unsuccessfully petitioned the Delaware Public Service Commission. Most recently, he has appealed a favorable Order of the Secretary of Delaware’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control to Delaware’s Environmental Appeals Board (EAB), an administrative entity with authority to review the Secretary’s Orders. The Secretary’s Order at issue approved permits that enable the upgrade of the Delaware Project. We expect the EAB to uphold the Secretary’s Order as the appeal is without merit and raises issues that are outside the scope of the permits and beyond the jurisdiction of the EAB. While we believe the appeal is without merit, if the appeal was successful, we may face adverse consequences that would negatively affect our operation of the Delaware Project. The Appeal and the opposition to the Delaware Project are examples of potentially material risks associated with electric power regulation.
At the federal level, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") has authority to regulate under various federal energy regulatory laws, wholesale sales of electric energy, capacity, and ancillary services, and the delivery of natural gas in interstate commerce. Also, several of our PPA Entities are subject to regulation under FERC with respect to market-based sales of electricity, which requires us to file notices and make other periodic filings with FERC, which increases our costs and subjects us to additional regulatory oversight.
Although we generally are not regulated as a utility, federal, state, and local government statutes and regulations concerning electricity heavily influence the market for our product and services. These statutes and regulations often relate to electricity pricing, net metering, incentives, taxation, and the rules surrounding the interconnection of customer-owned electricity generation for specific technologies. In the United States, governments frequently modify these statutes and regulations. Governments, often acting through state utility or public service commissions, change and adopt different requirements for utilities and rates for commercial customers on a regular basis. Changes, or in some cases a lack of change, in any of the laws, regulations, ordinances, or other rules that apply to our installations and new technology could make it more costly for us or our customers to install and operate our Energy Servers on particular sites and, in turn, could negatively affect our ability to deliver cost savings to customers for the purchase of electricity.
We may become subject to product liability claims which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.
We may in the future become subject to product liability claims. Our Energy Servers are considered high energy systems because they use flammable fuels and may operate at 480 volts. Although our Energy Servers are certified to meet ANSI, IEEE, ASME, and NFPA design and safety standards, if not properly handled in accordance with our servicing and handling standards and protocols, there could be a system failure and resulting liability. These claims could require us to incur significant costs to defend. Furthermore, any successful product liability claim could require us to pay a substantial monetary award. Moreover, a product liability claim could generate substantial negative publicity about our company and our Energy Servers, which could harm our brand, our business prospects, and our operating results. While we maintain product liability insurance, our insurance may not be sufficient to cover all potential product liability claims. Any lawsuit seeking significant monetary damages either in excess of our coverage or outside of our coverage may have a material adverse effect on our business and our financial condition.

76


Current or future litigation or administrative proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, our financial condition and our results of operations.
    
We have been and continue to be involved in legal proceedings, administrative proceedings, claims, and other litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business. Purchases of our products have also been the subject of litigation. For information regarding pending legal proceedings, please see Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q captioned "Legal Proceedings" and footnote 13 to our consolidated financial statements entitled "Commitments and Contingencies." In addition, since our Energy Server is a new type of product in a nascent market, we have in the past needed and may in the future need to seek the amendment of existing regulations, or in some cases the creation of new regulations, in order to operate our business in some jurisdictions. Such regulatory processes may require public hearings concerning our business, which could expose us to subsequent litigation.
Unfavorable outcomes or developments relating to proceedings to which we are a party or transactions involving our products such as judgments for monetary damages, injunctions, or denial or revocation of permits, could have a material adverse effect on our business, our financial condition, and our results of operations. In addition, settlement of claims could adversely affect our financial condition and our results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Intellectual Property
Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and litigation to protect our intellectual property rights may be costly.
Although we have taken many protective measures to protect our trade secrets including agreements, limited access, segregation of knowledge, password protections, and other measures, policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. For example, many of our engineers reside in California where it is not legally permissible to prevent them from working for a competitor if and when one should exist. Also, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation may result in our intellectual property rights being challenged, limited in scope, or declared invalid or unenforceable. We cannot be certain that the outcome of any litigation will be in our favor, and an adverse determination in any such litigation could impair our intellectual property rights, our business, our prospects, and our reputation.
We rely primarily on patent, trade secret, and trademark laws and non-disclosure, confidentiality, and other types of contractual restrictions to establish, maintain, and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights. However, our rights under these laws and agreements afford us only limited protection and the actions we take to establish, maintain, and enforce our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. For example, our trade secrets and other confidential information could be disclosed in an unauthorized manner to third parties, our owned or licensed intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed, or misappropriated or our intellectual property rights may not be sufficient to provide us with a competitive advantage, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results. In addition, the laws of some countries do not protect proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States. As a result, we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights adequately abroad.
Our patent applications may not result in issued patents, and our issued patents may not provide adequate protection, either of which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting products similar to ours.
We cannot be certain that our pending patent applications will result in issued patents or that any of our issued patents will afford protection against a competitor. The status of patents involves complex legal and factual questions, and the breadth of claims allowed is uncertain. As a result, we cannot be certain that the patent applications that we file will result in patents being issued or that our patents and any patents that may be issued to us in the future will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, patent applications filed in foreign countries are subject to laws, rules, and procedures that differ from those of the United States, and thus we cannot be certain that foreign patent applications related to issued U.S. patents will be issued in other regions. Furthermore, even if these patent applications are accepted and the associated patents issued, some foreign countries provide significantly less effective patent enforcement than in the United States.
In addition, patents issued to us may be infringed upon or designed around by others and others may obtain patents that we need to license or design around, either of which would increase costs and may adversely affect our business, our prospects, and our operating results.

77


We may need to defend ourselves against claims that we infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated the intellectual property rights of others, which may be time-consuming and would cause us to incur substantial costs.
Companies, organizations, or individuals, including our competitors, may hold or obtain patents, trademarks, or other proprietary rights that they may in the future believe are infringed by our products or services. Although we are not currently subject to any claims related to intellectual property, these companies holding patents or other intellectual property rights allegedly relating to our technologies could, in the future, make claims or bring suits alleging infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of such rights, or otherwise assert their rights and by seeking licenses or injunctions. Several of the proprietary components used in our Energy Servers have been subjected to infringement challenges in the past. We also generally indemnify our customers against claims that the products we supply infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate third party intellectual property rights, and we therefore may be required to defend our customers against such claims. If a claim is successfully brought in the future and we or our products are determined to have infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated a third party’s intellectual property rights, we may be required to do one or more of the following:
cease selling or using our products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;
pay substantial damages (including treble damages and attorneys’ fees if our infringement is determined to be willful);
obtain a license from the holder of the intellectual property right, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; or
redesign our products or means of production, which may not be possible or cost-effective.
Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. In addition, any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could harm our reputation, result in substantial costs and divert resources and management attention.
We also license technology from third parties and incorporate components supplied by third parties into our products. We may face claims that our use of such technology or components infringes or otherwise violates the rights of others, which would subject us to the risks described above. We may seek indemnification from our licensors or suppliers under our contracts with them, but our rights to indemnification or our suppliers’ resources may be unavailable or insufficient to cover our costs and losses.

Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition and Operating Results
We have incurred significant losses in the past and we may not be profitable for the foreseeable future.
Since our inception in 2001, we have incurred significant net losses and have used significant cash in our business. As of June 30, 2019 , we had an accumulated deficit of $2.7 billion . We expect to continue to expand our operations, including by investing in manufacturing, sales and marketing, research and development, staffing systems, and infrastructure to support our growth. We anticipate that we will incur net losses for the foreseeable future. Our ability to achieve profitability in the future will depend on a number of factors, including:
growing our sales volume;
increasing sales to existing customers and attracting new customers;
attracting and retaining financing partners who are willing to provide financing for sales on a timely basis and with attractive terms;
continuing to improve the useful life of our fuel cell technology and reducing our warranty servicing costs;
reducing the cost of producing our Energy Servers;
improving the efficiency and predictability of our installation process;
improving the effectiveness of our sales and marketing activities;
attracting and retaining key talent in a competitive marketplace; and
the amount of stock based compensation recognized in the period.
Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase our profitability in the future.

78


Our financial condition and results of operations and other key metrics are likely to fluctuate on a quarterly basis in future periods, which could cause our results for a particular period to fall below expectations, resulting in a severe decline in the price of our Class A common stock.
Our financial condition and results of operations and other key metrics have fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. For example, the amount of product revenue we recognize in a given period is materially dependent on the volume of installations of our Energy Servers in that period and the type of financing used by the customer.
In addition to the other risks described herein, the following factors could also cause our financial condition and results of operations to fluctuate on a quarterly basis:
the timing of installations, which may depend on many factors such as availability of inventory, product quality or performance issues, or local permitting requirements, utility requirements, environmental, health, and safety requirements, weather, and customer facility construction schedules;
size of particular installations and number of sites involved in any particular quarter;
the mix in the type of purchase or financing options used by customers in a period, and the rates of return required by financing parties in such period;
whether we are able to structure our sales agreements in a manner that would allow for the product and installation revenue to be recognized up front at acceptance;
delays or cancellations of Energy Server installations;
fluctuations in our service costs, particularly due to unaccrued costs of servicing and maintaining Energy Servers;
weaker than anticipated demand for our Energy Servers due to changes in government incentives and policies or due to other conditions;
fluctuations in our research and development expense, including periodic increases associated with the pre-production qualification of additional tools as we expand our production capacity;
interruptions in our supply chain;
the length of the sales and installation cycle for a particular customer;
the timing and level of additional purchases by existing customers;
unanticipated expenses or installation delays associated with changes in governmental regulations, permitting requirements by local authorities at particular sites, utility requirements and environmental, health, and safety requirements;
disruptions in our sales, production, service or other business activities resulting from disagreements with our labor force or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and
unanticipated changes in federal, state, local, or foreign government incentive programs available for us, our customers, and tax equity financing parties.
Fluctuations in our operating results and cash flow could, among other things, give rise to short-term liquidity issues. In addition, our revenue, key operating metrics, and other operating results in future quarters may fall short of the expectations of investors and financial analysts, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our Class A common stock.
If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business and operating results may suffer.
Our current growth and future growth plans may make it difficult for us to efficiently operate our business, challenging us to effectively manage our capital expenditures and control our costs while we expand our operations to increase our revenue. If we experience a significant growth in orders without improvements in automation and efficiency, we may need additional manufacturing capacity and we and some of our suppliers may need additional and capital intensive equipment. Any growth in manufacturing must include a scaling of quality control as the increase in production increases the possible impact of manufacturing defects. In addition, any growth in the volume of sales of our Energy Servers may outpace our ability to engage sufficient and experienced personnel to manage the higher number of installations and to engage contractors to complete installations on a timely basis and in accordance with our expectations and standards. Any failure to manage our growth effectively could materially and adversely affect our business, our prospects, our operating results, and our financial condition. Our future operating results depend to a large extent on our ability to manage this expansion and growth successfully.

79


If we discover a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our ability to report our financial results on a timely and an accurate basis may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley Act") requires, among other things, that public companies evaluate the effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. As a recently public company and as an emerging growth company, we elected to delay adopting the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as is our option under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Although we did not discover any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2019 , subsequent testing by us or our independent registered public accounting firm, which has not yet performed an audit of our internal control over financial reporting, may reveal deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. To comply with Section 404A, we may incur substantial cost, expend significant management time on compliance-related issues, and hire additional accounting, financial, and internal audit staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404A in a timely manner or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and cause a decline in the price of our Class A common stock. For further discussion on Section 404A compliance, see our Risk Factor: We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies .
Our ability to use our deferred tax assets to offset future taxable income may be subject to limitations that could subject our business to higher tax liability.
We may be limited in the portion of net operating loss carryforwards that we can use in the future to offset taxable income for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Our net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") will expire, if unused, beginning in 2022 and 2028, respectively. A lack of future taxable income would adversely affect our ability to utilize these NOLs. In addition, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. Changes in our stock ownership as well as other changes that may be outside of our control could result in ownership changes under Section 382 of the Code, which could cause our NOLs to be subject to certain limitations. Our NOLs may also be impaired under similar provisions of state law. Our deferred tax assets, which are currently fully reserved with a valuation allowance, may expire unutilized or underutilized, which could prevent us from offsetting future taxable income.

Risks Relating to Our Liquidity
We must maintain customer confidence in our liquidity and long-term business prospects in order to grow our business.
Currently, we are the only provider able to fully support and maintain our Energy Servers. If potential customers believe we do not have sufficient capital or liquidity to operate our business over the long-term or that we will be unable to maintain their Energy Servers and provide satisfactory support, customers may be less likely to purchase or lease our products, particularly in light of the significant financial commitment required. In addition, financing sources may be unwilling to provide financing on reasonable terms. Similarly, suppliers, financing partners, and other third parties may be less likely to invest time and resources in developing business relationships with us if they have concerns about the success of our business.

80


Accordingly, in order to grow our business, we must maintain confidence in our liquidity and long-term business prospects among customers, suppliers, financing partners, and other parties. This may be particularly complicated by factors such as:
our limited operating history at a large scale;
our lack of profitability;
unfamiliarity with or uncertainty about our Energy Servers and the overall perception of the distributed generation market;
prices for electricity or natural gas in particular markets;
competition from alternate sources of energy;
warranty or unanticipated service issues we may experience;
the environmental consciousness and perceived value of environmental programs to our customers;
the size of our expansion plans in comparison to our existing capital base and the scope and history of operations;
the availability and amount of tax incentives, credits, subsidies or other incentive programs; and
the other factors set forth in this “Risk Factors” section.
Several of these factors are largely outside our control, and any negative perceptions about our liquidity or long-term business prospects, even if unfounded, would likely harm our business.
Our substantial indebtedness, and restrictions imposed by the agreements governing our, and our PPA Entities’, outstanding indebtedness, may limit our financial and operating activities and may adversely affect our ability to incur additional debt to fund future needs .
As of June 30, 2019 , we and our subsidiaries had approximately $668.2 million of total consolidated indebtedness, of which an aggregate of $405.8 million represented indebtedness that is recourse to us. Of this $668.2 million debt, $35.6 million represented debt under our 5% Notes, $2.4 million represented operating debt, $262.4 million represented debt of our PPA Entities, $271.5 million represented debt under our 6% Notes and $96.4 million represented debt under our 10% Notes. The agreements governing our and our PPA Entities’ outstanding indebtedness contain, and other future debt agreements may contain, covenants imposing operating and financial restrictions on our business that limit our flexibility including, among other things, to:
borrow money;
pay dividends or make other distributions;
incur liens;
make asset dispositions;
make loans or investments;
issue or sell share capital of our subsidiaries;
issue guaranties;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
merge, consolidate or sell, lease or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;

81


require us to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available for other purposes such as working capital and capital expenditures;
make it more difficult for us to satisfy and comply with our obligations with respect to our indebtedness;
subject us to increased sensitivity to interest rate increases;
make us more vulnerable to economic downturns, adverse industry conditions, or catastrophic external events;
limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures;
limit our ability to invest in new business subsidiaries that are not PPA Entity-related;
reduce our flexibility in planning for or responding to changing business, industry, and economic conditions; and/or
place us at a competitive disadvantage to competitors that have relatively less debt than we have.
Our debt agreements and our PPA Entities’ debt agreements require the maintenance of financial ratios or the satisfaction of financial tests such as debt service coverage ratios and consolidated leverage ratios. Our and our PPA Entities’ ability to meet these financial ratios and tests may be affected by events beyond our control and, as a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet these ratios and tests. Upon the occurrence of events such as a change in control of our company, significant asset sales or mergers or similar transactions, the liquidation or dissolution of our company or the cessation of our stock exchange listing, holders of our 6% Notes have the right to cause us to repurchase for cash any or all of such outstanding notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. We cannot provide assurance that we would have sufficient liquidity to repurchase such notes. Furthermore, our financing and debt agreements, such as our 6% Notes and our 10% Notes, contain events of default. If an event of default were to occur, the trustee or the lenders could, among other things, terminate their commitments and declare outstanding amounts due and payable and our cash may become restricted. We cannot provide assurance that we would have sufficient liquidity to repay or refinance our indebtedness if such amounts were accelerated upon an event of default. Borrowings under other debt instruments that contain cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions may, as a result, be accelerated and become due and payable as a consequence. We may be unable to pay these debts in such circumstances. If we were unable to repay those amounts, lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure repayment of those amounts. We cannot assure you that the collateral will be sufficient to repay in full those amounts. We cannot provide assurance that the operating and financial restrictions and covenants in these agreements will not adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs, or our ability to engage in other business activities that may be in our interest or our ability to react to adverse market developments.
If our PPA Entities default on their obligations under non-recourse financing agreements, we may decide to make payments to prevent such PPA Entities’ creditors from foreclosing on the relevant collateral, as such a foreclosure would result in our losing our ownership interest in the PPA Entity or in some or all of its assets, or a material part of our assets, as the case may be. To satisfy these obligations, we may be required to use amounts distributed by our other PPA Entities as well as other sources of available cash, thereby reducing the cash available to develop our projects and to our operations. The loss of a material part of our assets or our ownership interest in one or more of our PPA Entities or some or all of their assets, or any use of our resources to support our obligations or the obligations of our PPA Entities, could have a material adverse effect on our business, our financial condition, and our results of operations.
As of June 30, 2019 , we and our subsidiaries had approximately $668.2 million of total consolidated indebtedness, including $26.2 million in short-term debt and $642.0 million in long-term debt. In addition, our 10% Notes contain restrictions on our ability to issue additional debt and both the 6% Notes and 10% Notes limit our ability to provide collateral for any additional debt. Given our current level of indebtedness, the restrictions on additional indebtedness contained in the 10% Notes and the fact that most of our assets serve as collateral to secure existing debt, it may be difficult for us to secure additional debt financing at an attractive cost, which may in turn impact our ability to expand our operations and our product development activities and to remain competitive in the market.
In addition, our substantial level of indebtedness could limit our ability to obtain required additional financing on acceptable terms or at all for working capital, capital expenditures, and general corporate purposes. Any of these risks could impact our ability to fund our operations or limit our ability to expand our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, our financial condition, our liquidity, and our results of operations. Our liquidity needs could vary significantly and may be affected by general economic conditions, industry trends, performance, and many other factors not within our control.

82


We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to meet our debt service obligations.
Our ability to generate sufficient cash to make scheduled payments on our debt obligations will depend on our future financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive, and business factors, many of which are outside of our control.
In addition, we conduct a significant volume of our operations through, and receive equity allocations from, our PPA Entities, which contribute to our cash flow. These PPA Entities are separate and distinct legal entities, do not guarantee our debt obligations, and will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under our debt obligations or to make any funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividend, distribution, loan, or other payments. Distributions by the PPA Entities to us are precluded under these arrangements if there is an event of default or if financial covenants, such as maintenance of applicable debt service coverage ratios, are not met even if there is not otherwise an event of default. Furthermore, under the terms of our equity financing arrangements for PPA Company IIIa and PPA Company IIIb, substantially all of the cash flows generated from these PPA Entities in excess of debt service obligations are distributed to Equity Investors until the investors achieve a targeted internal rate of return or until a fixed date in the future ("Flip Date"), which is expected to be after a period of five or more years, after which time we will receive substantially all of the remaining income (loss), tax, and tax allocation attributable to the long-term customer payments and other incentives. In the case of PPA Company IV and PPA Company V, Equity Investors receive 90% of all cash flows generated in excess of its debt service obligations and other expenses for the duration of the applicable PPA Entity without any Flip Date or other time- or return-based adjustment. Moreover, even after the occurrence of the Flip Date for the PPA Entities, we do not anticipate distributions to be material enough independently to support our ongoing cash needs, and, therefore, we will still need to generate significant cash from our product sales. It is possible that the PPA Entities may not contribute significant cash to us even if we are in compliance with the financial covenants under the project debt incurred by the PPA Entities.
Future borrowings by our PPA Entities may contain restrictions or prohibitions on the payment of dividends to us. The ability of our PPA Entities to make such payments to us may be subject to applicable laws including surplus, solvency, and other limits imposed on the ability of companies to pay dividends.
If we do not generate sufficient cash to satisfy our debt obligations, including interest payments, or if we are unable to satisfy the requirement for the payment of principal at maturity or other payments that may be required from time to time under the terms of our debt instruments, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments, or seeking to raise additional capital. We cannot provide assurance that any refinancing would be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timing of the sales and the amount of proceeds realized from those sales, that additional financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, or that additional financing would be permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments then in effect. Furthermore, the ability to refinance indebtedness would depend upon the condition of the finance and credit markets at the time which have in the past been, and may in the future be, volatile. Our inability to generate sufficient cash to satisfy our debt obligations or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or on a timely basis would have an adverse effect on our business, our results of operations and our financial condition.
Under some circumstances, we may be required to or elect to make additional payments to our PPA Entities or the Power Purchase Agreement Program Equity Investors.
Our six PPA Entities are structured in a manner such that other than the amount of any equity investment we have made, we do not have any further primary liability for the debts or other obligations of the PPA Entities. However, we are required to guarantee the obligations of our wholly-owned subsidiary which invests alongside other investors in the PPA Entities. These obligations typically include the capital contribution obligations of such subsidiary to the PPA Entity as well as the representations and warranties made by and indemnification obligations of such subsidiary to Equity Investors in the applicable PPA Entity. As a result, we may be obligated to make payments on behalf of our wholly-owned subsidiary to Equity Investors in the PPA Entities in the event of a breach of these representations, warranties or covenants.
All of our PPA Entities that operate Energy Servers for end customers have significant restrictions on their ability to incur increased operating costs, or could face events of default under debt or other investment agreements if end customers are not able to meet their payment obligations under PPAs or if Energy Servers are not deployed in accordance with the project’s schedule. If our PPA Entities experience unexpected, increased costs such as insurance costs, interest expense or taxes or as a result of the acceleration of repayment of outstanding indebtedness, or if end customers are unable or unwilling to continue to purchase power under their PPAs, there could be insufficient cash generated from the project to meet the debt service obligations of the PPA Entity or to meet any targeted rates of return of Equity Investors. If a PPA Entity fails to make required debt service payments, this could constitute an event of default and entitle the lender to foreclose on the collateral securing the debt or could trigger other payment obligations of the PPA Entity. To avoid this, we could choose to contribute additional

83


capital to the applicable PPA Entity to enable such PPA Entity to make payments to avoid an event of default, which could adversely affect our business or our financial condition. Under PPA Company IV’s note purchase agreement, PPA Company IV is obligated to offer to repay all outstanding debt in the event that at any time we fail to own (directly or indirectly) at least 50.1% of the equity interest of PPA Company IV not owned by the Equity Investor(s). Upon receipt of such offer, the lenders may waive that obligation or elect to require PPA Company IV to prepay all remaining amounts owed under PPA Company IV’s project debt. The obligations under PPA Company IV have not been triggered as of June 30, 2019 .

Risks Relating to Our Operations
We may have conflicts of interest with our PPA Entities.
In each of our PPA Entities, we act as the managing member and are responsible for the day-to-day administration of the project. However, we are also a major service provider for each PPA Entity in its capacity as the operator of the Energy Servers under an operations and maintenance agreement. Because we are both the administrator and the manager of our PPA Entities, as well as a major service provider, we face a potential conflict of interest in that we may be obligated to enforce contractual rights that a PPA Entity has against us in our capacity as a service provider. By way of example, the PPA Entity may have a right to payment from us under a warranty provided under the applicable operations and maintenance agreement, and we may be financially motivated to avoid or delay this liability by failing to promptly enforce this right on behalf of the PPA Entity. While we do not believe that we had any conflicts of interest with our PPA Entities as of June 30, 2019 , conflicts of interest may arise in the future which cannot be foreseen at this time. In the event that prospective future Equity Investors and debt financing partners perceive there to exist any such conflicts, it could harm our ability to procure financing for our PPA Entities in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we are unable to attract and retain key employees and hire qualified management, technical, engineering, and sales personnel, our ability to compete and successfully grow our business could be harmed.
We believe that our success and our ability to reach our strategic objectives are highly dependent on the contributions of our key management, technical, engineering, and sales personnel. The loss of the services of any of our key employees could disrupt our operations, delay the development and introduction of our products and services and negatively impact our business, prospects, and operating results. In particular, we are highly dependent on the services of Dr. Sridhar, our Chairman and President and Chief Executive Officer, and other key employees. None of our key employees is bound by an employment agreement for any specific term. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully attract and retain senior leadership necessary to grow our business. Furthermore, there is increasing competition for talented individuals in our field, and competition for qualified personnel is especially intense in the San Francisco Bay Area where our principal offices are located. Our failure to attract and retain our executive officers and other key management, technical, engineering, and sales personnel could adversely impact our business, our prospects, our financial condition, and our operating results. In addition, we do not have “key person” life insurance policies covering any of our officers or other key employees.
A breach or failure of our networks or computer or data management systems could damage our operations and our reputation.
Our business is dependent on the security and efficacy of our networks and computer and data management systems. For example, all of our Energy Servers are connected to and controlled and monitored by our centralized remote monitoring service, and we rely on our internal computer networks for many of the systems we use to operate our business generally. Although we take protective measures and endeavor to modify them as circumstances warrant, the security of our infrastructure, including the network that connects our Energy Servers to our remote monitoring service, may be vulnerable to breaches, unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses, or other malicious code and cyber-attacks that could have a material adverse impact on our business and our Energy Servers in the field. A breach or failure of our networks or computer or data management systems due to intentional actions such as cyber-attacks, negligence, or other reasons could seriously disrupt our operations or could affect our ability to control or to assess the performance in the field of our Energy Servers and could result in disruption to our business and potentially legal liability. In addition, if certain of our IT systems failed, our production line might be affected, which could impact our business and operating results. These events, in addition to impacting our financial results, could result in significant costs or reputational consequences.
Our headquarters and other facilities are located in an active earthquake zone, and an earthquake or other types of natural disasters or resource shortages could disrupt and harm our results of operations .
We conduct a majority of our operations in the San Francisco Bay area in an active earthquake zone, and certain of our facilities are located within known flood plains. The occurrence of a natural disaster such as an earthquake, drought, flood, localized extended outages of critical utilities or transportation systems, or any critical resource shortages could cause a

84


significant interruption in our business, damage or destroy our facilities, our manufacturing equipment, or our inventory, and cause us to incur significant costs, any of which could harm our business, our financial condition, and our results of operations. The insurance we maintain against fires, earthquakes and other natural disasters may not be adequate to cover our losses in any particular case.
Expanding operations internationally could expose us to additional risks .
Although we currently primarily operate in the United States, we will seek to expand our business internationally. We currently have operations in Japan, China, India, and the Republic of Korea, collectively our Asia Pacific region. Managing any international expansion will require additional resources and controls including additional manufacturing and assembly facilities. Any expansion internationally could subject our business to risks associated with international operations, including:
conformity with applicable business customs, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses;
lack of availability of government incentives and subsidies;
challenges in arranging, and availability of, financing for our customers;
potential changes to our established business model;
cost of alternative power sources, which could be meaningfully lower outside the United States;
availability and cost of natural gas;
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations in an environment of diverse culture, laws, and customers, and the increased travel, infrastructure, and legal and compliance costs associated with international operations;
installation challenges which we have not encountered before which may require the development of a unique model for each country;
compliance with multiple, potentially conflicting and changing governmental laws, regulations, and permitting processes including environmental, banking, employment, tax, privacy, and data protection laws and regulations such as the EU Data Privacy Directive;
compliance with U.S. and foreign anti-bribery laws including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Anti-Bribery Act;
difficulties in collecting payments in foreign currencies and associated foreign currency exposure;
restrictions on repatriation of earnings;
compliance with potentially conflicting and changing laws of taxing jurisdictions where we conduct business and compliance with applicable U.S. tax laws as they relate to international operations, the complexity and adverse consequences of such tax laws, and potentially adverse tax consequences due to changes in such tax laws; and
regional economic and political conditions.
As a result of these risks, any potential future international expansion efforts that we may undertake may not be successful.
We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.
We are an emerging growth company ("EGC") as defined in the U.S. legislation Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), and we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGC, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may take advantage of these exemptions for so long as we are an EGC, which could be until December 31, 2023, the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our IPO. We cannot predict if investors will find our Class A common stock less attractive because we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Class A common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.
An EGC may elect to provide financial statements in conformance with the U.S. GAAP requirement for transition periods to comply with new or revised accounting standards. With our not making this election, Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS

85


Act allows us to delay our adoption of new or revised accounting standards until those standards apply to private companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company revised accounting standards effective dates.

Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock
The stock price of our Class A common stock has been and may continue to be volatile.
The market price of our Class A common stock has been and may continue to be volatile. In addition to factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the market price of our Class A common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
overall performance of the equity markets;
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue and other operating results;
changes in the financial projections we may provide to the public or our failure to meet these projections;
failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
recruitment or departure of key personnel;
the economy as a whole and market conditions in our industry;
new laws, regulations, subsidies, or credits or new interpretations of them applicable to our business;
negative publicity related to problems in our manufacturing or the real or perceived quality of our products;
rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;
announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, or capital commitments;
lawsuits threatened or filed against us;
other events or factors including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism or responses to these events;
the expiration of contractual lock-up or market standoff agreements; and
sales or anticipated sales of shares of our Class A common stock by us or our stockholders.
In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. Stock prices of many companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business, and adversely affect our business.
Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock in the public markets, or the perception that they might occur, could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline.
The market price of our Class A common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market as and when our Class B common stock converts to Class A common stock. The perception that these sales might occur may also cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We had a total of 59,407,578 shares of our Class A common stock and 53,806,485 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2019 . The lock up for our Class B shares expired on January 21, 2019 and these shares are now freely tradeable once converted into Class A shares, except for any shares purchased by our “affiliates” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act").
Further, as of June 30, 2019 , we had an aggregate of $296.2 million in convertible debt under which the outstanding principal and interest may be converted, at the option of the holders, into an aggregate of 26.3 million shares of Class B common stock. Upon conversion into Class A common stock, these shares are freely tradeable, except to the extent these shares are held by our “affiliates” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

86


In addition, as of June 30, 2019 , we had options and RSUs outstanding that, if fully exercised or settled, would result in the issuance of 22,636,373 shares of Class B common stock. We have filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register shares reserved for future issuance under our equity compensation plans. Subject to the satisfaction of applicable vesting requirements the shares issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options or settlement of outstanding RSUs will be available for immediate resale in the United States in the open market.
Moreover, certain holders of our common stock have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements for the public resale of such shares or to include such shares in registration statements that we may file for us or other stockholders.
The dual class structure of our common stock and the voting agreements among certain stockholders have the effect of concentrating voting control of our Company with KR Sridhar, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and also with those stockholders who held our capital stock prior to the completion of our IPO including our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, which limits or precludes your ability to influence corporate matters including the election of directors and the approval of any change of control transaction, and may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock.
Our Class B common stock has ten votes per share, and our Class A common stock has one vote per share. As of June 30, 2019 and after giving effect to the voting agreements between KR Sridhar, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and certain holders of Class B common stock, our directors, executive officers, significant stockholders of our common stock, and their respective affiliates collectively held a substantial majority of the voting power of our capital stock. Because of the ten-to-one voting ratio between our Class B and Class A common stock, the holders of our Class B common stock collectively will continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock and therefore are able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval until the earliest to occur of (i) immediately prior to the close of business on July 27, 2023, (ii) immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the outstanding shares of Class B common stock represent less than five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock then outstanding, (iii) the date and time or the occurrence of an event specified in a written conversion election delivered by KR Sridhar to our Secretary or Chairman of the Board to so convert all shares of Class B common stock, or (iv) immediately following the date of the death of KR Sridhar. This concentrated control limits or precludes Class A stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters while the dual class structure remains in effect, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval. In addition, this may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our capital stock that Class A stockholders may feel are in their best interest as one of our stockholders.
Future transfers by holders of Class B common stock will generally result in those shares converting to Class A common stock, subject to limited exceptions such as certain transfers effected for estate planning purposes. The conversion of Class B common stock to Class A common stock will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those remaining holders of Class B common stock who retain their shares in the long-term.
The conversion of the 6% Convertible Promissory Note could result in a significant stockholder with substantial voting control.
The holders of the 6% Convertible Promissory Notes have the options to convert the outstanding principal and interest under the 6% Convertible Promissory Note to Class B common stock at conversion price of $ 11.25 at any time after the IPO and prior to maturity of the 6% Convertible Promissory Note in December 2020. As of June 30, 2019 , an aggregate of 21,321,100 shares of Class B common stock is issuable to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal and interest under the 6% Convertible Promissory Note. This, along with 312,575 shares of Class B common stock CPPIB which CPPIB acquired from the exercise of a warrant at IPO, would result in CPPIB having approximately 0.00% of the total voting power with respect to all shares of our Class A and Class B common stock, voting as a single class and would provide CPPIB significant influence over matters presented to the stockholders for approval and may result in voting decisions by CPPIB which are not in the best interests of our stockholders generally.
The dual class structure of our common stock may adversely affect the trading market for our Class A common stock.
S&P Dow Jones and FTSE Russell have recently announced changes to their eligibility criteria for inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, including the S&P 500, namely, to exclude companies with multiple classes of shares of common stock from being added to such indices. In addition, several shareholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple class structures. As a result, the dual class structure of our common stock may prevent the inclusion of our Class A common stock in such indices and may cause shareholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure. Any such exclusion from indices could result in a less active trading market for our Class A common stock. Any actions or publications

87


by shareholder advisory firms critical of our corporate governance practices or capital structure could also adversely affect the value of our Class A common stock.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price of our Class A common stock and trading volume could decline.
The market price for our Class A common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If industry analysts cease coverage of us, the trading price for our Class A common stock would be negatively affected. In addition, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our Class A common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our Class A common stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Class A common stock could decrease, which might cause our Class A common stock price and trading volume to decline.
We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their Class A common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.
Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, may limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management, may limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees, and may limit the market price of our Class A common stock.
Provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include provisions that:
our board of directors will be classified into three classes of directors with staggered three year terms;
permit the board of directors to establish the number of directors and fill any vacancies and newly created directorships;
require super-majority voting to amend some provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws;
authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that our board of directors could use to implement a stockholder rights plan;
only the chairman of our board of directors, our chief executive officer, or a majority of our board of directors will be authorized to call a special meeting of stockholders;
prohibit stockholder action by written consent, which thereby requires all stockholder actions be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;
a dual class common stock structure in which holders of our Class B common stock may have the ability to control the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval even if they own significantly less than a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions such as a merger or other sale of our company or substantially all of its assets;
the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, or repeal our bylaws; and
establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at annual stockholder meetings.
In addition, our restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for: any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. These choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum

88


that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, or other employees, which thereby may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, our operating results, and our financial condition.
On December 19, 2018, the Delaware Chancery Court issued an opinion that invalidated provisions in a Delaware corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws that purport to limit to federal court the forum in which a stockholder could bring a claim under the Securities Act, which creates some uncertainty about the enforceability of exclusive forum provisions generally. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business and financial condition.
Moreover, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company. Section 203 imposes certain restrictions on mergers, business combinations, and other transactions between us and holders of 15% or more of our common stock.

An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date and time as the Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) of Bloom Energy Corporation (the “ Corporation ”) shall each year fix. The meeting may be held either at a place, within or without the State of Delaware as permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “ DGCL ”), or by means of remote communication as the Board in its sole discretion may determine. Any proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.
Section 1.2 :     Special Meetings . Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes shall be called in the manner set forth in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as the same may be amended or restated from time to time, the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”). A special meeting may be held either at a place, within or without the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication as the Board in its sole discretion may determine. Business transacted at special meetings of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.
Section 1.3 :     Notice of Meetings . Notice of all meetings of stockholders shall be given in writing or by electronic transmission in the manner provided by applicable law (including, without limitation, as set forth in Section 7.1.1 of these Bylaws) stating the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting. In the case of a special meeting, such notice shall also set forth the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10), nor more than sixty (60), days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.
Section 1.4 :     Adjournments . The chairperson of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another time, date and place (if any), whether or not a quorum is present. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, date and place (if any) thereof and the means of remote communication (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 the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided , however , that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

at the original meeting. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special or annual meeting of stockholders before it is to be held, regardless of whether any notice or public disclosure with respect to any such meeting has been sent or made pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof or otherwise, in which case notice shall be provided to the stockholders of the new date, time and place, if any, of the meeting as provided in Section 1.3 above.
Section 1.5 :     Quorum . Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided , however , that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of stock is required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairperson of the meeting or, if directed to be voted on by the chairperson of the meeting, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote who are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, may adjourn the meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting. Shares of the Corporation’s stock belonging on the record date for the meeting to the Corporation (or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation are held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation), shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided , however , that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any other corporation to vote any shares of the Corporation’s stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity and to count such shares for purposes of determining a quorum. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.
Section 1.6 :     Organization . Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairperson of the Board or such person as the Board may designate. Such person shall be chairperson of the meeting and, subject to Section 1.10 of these Bylaws, shall determine the order of business and prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures at the meeting and do all such acts and things as are necessary and desirable for the proper conduct of the meeting, including without limitation, the establishment of procedures for the maintenance of order and safety, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments on the affairs of the Corporation, restrictions on entry to such meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof and regulation of the opening and closing of polls and the manner of voting.

Section 1.7 :     Voting; Proxies . Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. Such a proxy may be prepared, transmitted and delivered in any manner permitted by applicable law. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if and only as long as it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing

- 2 -
    



an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation. Except as may be required in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, every matter other than the election of directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock entitled to vote on such matter that are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and are voted for or against the matter (or if there are two or more classes or series of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each class or series, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock of that class or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting voting for or against such matter).
Section 1.8 : Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record .

If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes the record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, 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 day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. 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 may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall fix the same date or an earlier date as the record date for the stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting.
In order that the Corporation may determine 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 change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board and which shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed by the Board, then the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
Section 1.9 :     List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote . The Secretary shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting ( provided , however , if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order

Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network as permitted by applicable law ( provided that the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication and the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting), or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is held at a location where stockholders may attend in person, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present at the meeting. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access the list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

In all other cases, observance of the provisions of this Section 1.10 shall be optional, and at the discretion of the Board.
1.10.2     Appointment . The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof.

If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their certification of their determinations pursuant to this Section 1.10 shall specify the precise information considered by them, including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

Such indemnification shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the

- 18 -
    



benefit of such Indemnitees’ heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 6.5 of these Bylaws, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Indemnitee seeking indemnity in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board or such indemnification is authorized by an agreement approved by the Board.
Section 6.2 :     Advance of Expenses . The Corporation shall pay all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided , however , that if the DGCL then so requires, the advancement of such expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise.
Section 6.3 :     Non-Exclusivity of Rights . The rights conferred on any person in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote or consent of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Additionally, nothing in this Article VI shall limit the ability of the Corporation, in its discretion, to indemnify or advance expenses to persons whom the Corporation is not obligated to indemnify or advance expenses pursuant to this Article VI.
Section 6.4 :     Indemnification Contracts . The Board is authorized to cause the Corporation to enter into indemnification contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, providing indemnification or advancement rights to such person. Such rights may be greater than those provided in this Article VI.
Section 6.5:      Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit . The following shall apply to the extent not in conflict with any indemnification contract provided for in Section 6.4 of these Bylaws.

If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL (or other applicable law) for the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed.
6.5.2     Effect of Determination . Neither the absence of a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor

- 19 -
    



an actual determination that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit.
6.5.3     Burden of Proof . In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VI, or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation.
Section 6.6 :     Nature of Rights . The rights conferred upon Indemnitees in this Article VI shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer or trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VI that adversely affects any right of an Indemnitee or an Indemnitee’s successors shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any right or protection conferred on a person pursuant to this Article VI with respect to any Proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.
Section 6.7 :     Insurance . The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (a) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided , however , the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver of notice, signed by the person entitled to notice, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any waiver of notice.

INDEMNIFICATION
7.1      Indemnification .
(a)      Bloom agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Class B Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Class B Indemnified Costs; provided , however , except with respect to Class B Indemnified Costs (i) resulting from fraud or willful misconduct, (ii) resulting from failure to pay any amount due to Class B Indemnified Parties under this Agreement or the LLC Agreement, or (iii) resulting from a Third Party Claim, in no event will Bloom’s aggregate obligation (including any prior indemnity payments by Bloom under this Agreement or under the LLC Agreement) to indemnify the Class B Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed the total Capital Contributions made by the Class B Member as of the date this indemnification obligations arises. Southern agrees for itself and all Class B Indemnified Parties that the Bloom indemnification being provided hereunder is in lieu of an indemnity and any claim or right against the Class A Member and, by accepting the indemnity from Bloom under this Section 7.1(a) Southern and the Class B Indemnified Parties waive and release the Class A Member and its members (other than Bloom) from any liability of any kind under this Agreement.
(b)      Southern agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Class A Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Class A Indemnified Costs; provided , however , except with respect to Class A Indemnified Costs (w) resulting from fraud or willful misconduct, (x) resulting from failure to pay any amount due to Class A Indemnified Parties under this Agreement

EXECUTION VERSION

or the LLC Agreement, or (y) resulting from a Third Party Claim, in no event will Southern’s aggregate obligation (including any prior indemnity payments by Southern under this Agreement or under the LLC Agreement) to indemnify the Class A Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed DSGH’s initial Capital Account balance shown on Schedule 4.2(d) of the LLC Agreement.
(c)      Bloom agrees to indemnify the Class B Indemnified Parties from and against any Tariff Damages. In the event that Bloom owes any indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) and has failed to pay such amounts, the Class B Indemnified Parties may draw on the then remaining Tariff Damages Collateral maintained by DSGH pursuant to Section 11.15 of the LLC Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither DSGH nor Mehetia (nor any of Mehetia’s direct or indirect owners or any Affiliates of Mehetia or such owners) shall have any liability to Southern for any Tariff Damages except that Southern may draw on the then remaining Tariff Damages Collateral.
Tariff Damages ” means the amount necessary, if treated as a pre-tax cash distribution to Southern, for Southern to achieve an after-tax Southern IRR (as set forth in the Base Case Model) equal to [*]% based on an updated Base Case Model updating the most recently-updated Base Case Model agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.7(a) of the CapEx Agreement and further updated solely to reflect (a) if the Tariff Event results in a reduction in the “Disbursement Rates” (as defined in the QFCP-RP Tariff or the corresponding figure in the Base Case Model) applicable to the New Systems pursuant to the Tariff, such reduced “Disbursement Rates”, or (b) if the New Systems are thereafter ineligible for service under the Tariff, a “Disbursement Rate” equal to $0.00; provided, however, in no event shall “Tariff Damages” as of any date exceed the amounts set forth below, based on the date of the initial reduction in revenues to the Company (the “ Tariff Damages Cap ”):

If the initial reduction in revenue falls in between two of the dates above, the amount of Tariff Damages will be an amount in between the two corresponding amounts, pro rata based on the number of days from the first of the two applicable dates above to the date of the initial reduction in revenue.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tariff Damages Cap shall be automatically and immediately reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of any payments received by the Class B Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.1(c) .

21

EXECUTION VERSION

The parties acknowledge and agree that it would be impracticable or impossible to determine with precision the amount of damages resulting from a Tariff Event. It is therefore understood and agreed by the parties that: (a) the Class B Indemnified Parties may be damaged by a Tariff Event; (b) it would be impractical or impossible to fix the actual damages resulting therefrom; and (c) the amounts of the Tariff Damages are in the nature of liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and are fair and reasonable estimate of compensation for the losses that may reasonably be anticipated to incur by such failure. Bloom hereby (i) waives any argument that its failure to comply with its obligations set forth in this section would not cause irreparable harm, (ii) agrees that it shall be estopped from arguing the invalidity, or otherwise questioning the reasonableness, of the liquidated damages provided for herein, and (iii) agrees that it will consent to the entry of judgment ordering payment of such liquidated damages in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The foregoing indemnity is provided in place of and in lieu of all representations, warranties, covenants or other indemnities regarding the Tariff by the Company, Bloom or DSGH pursuant to this Agreement and the LLC Agreement. Further, neither the Company, DSGH, nor Bloom shall have any liability to Southern related to any Tariff Event except as expressly set forth in this Section 7.1(c) unless such Tariff Event results from any breach of an expressly-stated representation, warranty or covenant of such Party pursuant to any Transaction Document (other than this Agreement or the LLC Agreement), and any recovery pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) shall be included in the consideration of the applicable Class B Indemnified Party(ies)’s damages resulting from any such breach; provided, however, that neither DSGH nor Mehetia (nor any of Mehetia’s direct or indirect owners or any Affiliates of Mehetia or such owners) shall have any liability to Southern for any Tariff Damages except that Southern may draw on the then remaining Tariff Damages Collateral.
(d)      Bloom agrees to indemnify the Class B Indemnified Parties for any reduction of the Assumed Tax Benefits resulting from the fair market value of the New Systems, as reflected on Southern Company’s originally filed federal income tax return for 2019, being lower than that shown in the Base Case Model (the “ Assumed Tax Benefits Damages ”), provided, however that (i) Bloom’s indemnity obligation under this Section 7.1(d) shall not exceed the Tax Indemnity Cap, and (ii) Bloom’s indemnity obligations under this Section 7.1(d) shall expire automatically and without further action by any Party on October 1, 2020. In the event that Bloom owes any indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 7.1(d) and has failed to pay such amounts, the Class B Indemnified Parties may draw on the then remaining Assumed Tax Benefits Collateral maintained by DSGH pursuant to Section 11.16 of the LLC Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither DSGH nor Mehetia (nor any of Mehetia’s direct or indirect owners or any Affiliates of Mehetia or such owners) shall have any liability to Southern for any Assumed Tax Benefits Damages except that Southern may draw on the then remaining Assumed Tax Benefits Collateral.
Assumed Tax Benefits ” means the periodic assumed federal income tax reductions resulting from items of loss, deduction and credits, to be allocated to the Class B Indemnified Parties under the LLC Agreement, as reflected in the Base Case Model, calculated using the highest marginal rate in effect each year under Code Section 11(b)(1) and determined for all periods without regard

to whether the Class B Indemnified Parties have any income, gains, or tax liability against which it is permitted to offset such loss, deduction or credit.
Tax Indemnity Cap ” means $[*].
Southern agrees in connection with the process of determining fair market value of the New Systems as follows: (i) it will provide Bloom notice of any objections or adverse feedback from the Internal Revenue Service, (ii) it will provide Bloom with advance notice and opportunity to review and comment on any filings or communications between Southern and the Internal Revenue Service, (iii) it will include Marshall & Stevens in discussions with the Internal Revenue Service (as allowed by Bloom), and (iv) it will reasonably consider Bloom feedback. Southern’s parent company will have sole discretion as to all contents of its income tax returns.
(e)      Other than with respect to Indemnified Costs resulting from Third Party Claims, no claim for indemnification may be made with respect to any Indemnified Costs until the aggregate amount of such costs for which indemnification is (or previously has been) sought by the Indemnified Party under all Transaction Documents exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and once such threshold amount of claim has been reached, the relevant Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall have the right to be indemnified only to the extent the amount of Indemnified Costs claimed exceed such threshold amount. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall not be duplicative of one another and shall not allow for duplicative recoveries.
(f)      At any time that the closing price for Bloom Common Stock on a national securities exchange is less than $[*][*], or if Bloom Common Stock is no longer traded on a national securities exchange, then Southern shall have the right to require, by written notice delivered to Bloom, that Bloom either (a) provide supplemental Tariff Damages Collateral in the amount of the difference between the then-applicable Tariff Damages and the Tariff Damages Collateral then-available to Southern pursuant to the LLC Agreement, or (b) make a payment to Southern in the amount of such difference. Bloom shall either provide such supplemental Tariff Damages Collateral or make such cash payment (such decision to be made at Bloom’s sole discretion) within eight (8) Business Days of its receipt of such notice.
(g)      In the event that the [*], then within ten (10) Business Days Bloom will increase the amount of the Tariff Damages Collateral to equal [*].
7.2      Direct Claims .
In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under Section 7.1 that is not subject to Section 7.3 because no Third Party Claim is involved, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any amounts that the Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms of this Article 7 . The failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim, except to the extent the resulting delay materially and adversely prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.

7.3      Third Party Claims .
An Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly after it has actual knowledge of commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under Section 7.1 . Such notice shall state the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim and the events and the amounts thereof to the extent known. Any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party under this Article 7 , except to the extent the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party, so long as it has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party that it is liable for such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 7.3 , the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such Third Party Claim or such Third Party Claim is a Third Party Penalty Claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or defending such portion of such Third Party Penalty Claim; provided nothing contained herein shall permit DSGH to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving Southern or any Affiliate of Southern, or permit Southern to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving any Affiliate of DSGH other than the Company; and, provided , further , the Parties agree that the handling of any Tax contests involving the Company will be governed by Section 7.7 of the LLC Agreement. In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party advises an Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will not contest a claim for indemnification hereunder, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such Indemnified Party of its election, to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any such Third Party Claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense) or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such Third Party Claim or the action or claim is a Third Party Penalty Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim or Third Party Claim in each case, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. In any event, unless and until the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent commercially reasonable with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense unless otherwise specified herein; provided that any such participation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense to the extent such participation relates to a Third

Party Penalty Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised at all times as to the status of the defense; provided, however, that the failure to keep the Indemnifying Party so informed shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition any such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.3 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, (x) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof which involves any condition other than payment of money by the Indemnified Party, (y) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof without first demonstrating to the Indemnified Party the ability to pay such claim or judgment, or (z) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof that does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party, a full and complete release from all liability in respect of such claim.

7.8      Mitigation and Limitations on Indemnified Costs . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:
(a)      Reasonable Steps to Mitigate . Each Indemnified Party will take, at the Indemnifying Party’s own reasonable cost and expense, all reasonable commercial steps identified by Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties to mitigate all Indemnified Costs (other than any such Indemnified Costs that are Taxes), which steps may include availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity. The Indemnified Parties will provide such evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of the Indemnified Costs as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.
(b)      Net of Insurance Benefits . All Indemnified Costs shall be net of insurance recoveries from insurance policies of the Company (including under the existing title policies) to the extent that any proceeds of such policies, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred by the Company in connection therewith, are distributed by the Company to the Indemnified Party; provided , however , such amount shall account for any costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with obtaining insurance proceeds with respect to any breach or nonperformance hereunder.
(c)      No Consequential Damages . Indemnified Costs shall not include, and an Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party for or in respect of, any punitive, consequential or exemplary damages of any nature including but not limited to damages for lost profits or revenues or the loss or use of such profits or revenue, loss by reason of plant shutdown or inability to operate at rated capacity, increased operating expenses of plant or equipment, increased costs of purchasing or providing equipment, materials, labor, services, costs of replacement, power or capital, debt service fees or penalties, inventory or use charges, damages to reputation, damages for lost opportunities, or claims of the Company’s customers, members or affiliates, regardless of whether said claim is based upon contract, warranty, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or other theory of law unless payable by such Indemnified Party as part of a Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the lost profits or revenues (and the loss or use thereof) language set forth in this Section 7.8(c) shall not be interpreted to exclude from Indemnified Costs any damages, losses, claims, liabilities, demands charges, suits, Taxes, penalties, costs or expenses that would otherwise be included within the definition of Indemnified Costs because they result from a reduction in the profits of the Project Company, the Company, or both.
7.9      Payment of Indemnification Claims .

EXECUTION VERSION

may dispute any portion of an indemnification claim, provided , however , that such disputed indemnification claim shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party together with interest at a market rate upon the final determination of the payable amount of the claim (if any) by a court of competent jurisdiction.
7.10      Repayment; Subrogation .
If the amount of any Indemnified Costs, at any time after the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under any insurance coverage (excluding any proceeds from self-insurance or flow through insurance policies) or under any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other entity, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, must promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party net of any Taxes imposed upon the Indemnified Party in respect of such amounts, but taking into account any Tax benefit the Indemnified Party receives as a result of such repayment. Upon making any indemnity payment (other than any indemnity payment relating to Taxes), the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party, except third parties that provide insurance coverage to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, in respect of the Indemnified Costs to which the indemnity payment relates. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims at the direction of the Indemnifying Party. Nothing in this Section 7.10 will be construed to require any Party to obtain or maintain any insurance coverage.

ARTICLE IV     
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
Section 4.1      Capital Contributions
(a)      Subject to the terms of the ECCA, the Members will make Capital Contributions to the Company at the times and in the amounts required under the ECCA and if required under Section 4.5 hereof, at the time and in the amounts specified in Section 4.5 . The Members acknowledge that on or prior to the effective date of the 2012 Operating Agreement, the Class A Member made a Capital Contribution to the Company of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Project Company and the sum of $16,619,399.60 (in cash), and has agreed to make further Capital Contributions at the times and in the amounts required under the ECCA. Except as provided in this Article IV of this Agreement, no Member will be required to make any Capital Contributions to the Company after the Subsequent Funding Termination Date.
(b)      The Company shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Member with respect to each Funding, and the Company shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event any such obligation is not met.
(i)      Each Member hereby (A) agrees that the remedy at law for damages resulting from any failure by it to make a Funding when required under the terms of the ECCA is inadequate because the funding of the Existing Systems requires

17
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


the timely availability of required capital contributions and (B) consents to the institution of an action for specific performance of its obligations in the event of such a default.
(ii)      The Managing Member (or any other Member in the event that the Managing Member is the defaulting Member) may cause the Company to commence legal proceedings against the defaulting Member to collect the due and unpaid capital contribution plus interest (calculated from the date of the missed Funding) at a rate equal to the lesser of (x) 18% per annum, compounded daily and (y) the maximum rate allowable by law, as well as the expenses of collection including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. Amounts collected in excess of the defaulting Member’s due and unpaid capital contribution or loan advance shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to be income of, or a reimbursement to, the Company, as appropriate, and shall not be treated as a capital contribution by the defaulting Member.
(iii)      Such defaulting Member’s share of the future distributions and profits (but not losses) of the Company shall be reduced by up to 100% of that to which such defaulting Member would have been entitled based upon its Percentage Interest as measured immediately prior to the date of the missed Funding, based on a proportionate calculation of the shortfall of funds resulting from such defaulting Member’s failure to comply with its Funding obligation. The share of future distributions and profits that are not allocated to the defaulting Member shall be apportioned among the other non-defaulting Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests until such time as the defaulting Member cures such default by paying such unpaid capital contribution plus interest (calculated from the date of the missed Funding) at a rate equal to the lesser of (x) 18% per annum, compounded daily and (y) the maximum rate allowable by law, as well as the expenses of collection including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees.
(c)      The Members acknowledge that an Affiliate of the Class A Member, Bloom, is entering into the Repurchase Agreement on the Effective Date and, pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, Bloom is making a deposit in the aggregate amount of $72,321,380.05 (the “ Deposit ”) against the aggregate Purchase Price (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement) which will be used to repay the outstanding balance (together with accrued but unpaid interest, prepayment charges, make-whole amounts and related costs) owed to the Note Holders under the Credit Documents (such amount, the “ Project Company Debt ”). The Deposit shall be paid and the Managing Member shall cause the Company to cause the Project Company to immediately use the Deposit to repay the Project Company Debt and cause the release of all collateral securing such Project Company Debt and for the Project Company’s obligations to the Note Holders and all other parties to the Credit Documents to be satisfied in full. The Members further acknowledge that had Bloom not made such Deposit under the Repurchase Agreement, the Class A Member would likely have needed to make an additional capital contribution hereunder in order to provide the Project Company funds to repay the Project Company Debt. Therefore, the Members agree that, should Bloom fail to repurchase all of the Existing Systems pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Repurchase Agreement on or before March 31, 2020

18
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


(other than as a result of a breach by Bloom of the Repurchase Agreement), then a pro rata amount of the Deposit (based on the Existing Systems not repurchased under the Repurchase Agreement as of March 31, 2020) shall be credited to the Class A Member as an additional Capital Contribution hereunder; provided, however, the foregoing shall not relieve the Class A Member or Bloom from any obligation to make a Supplemental Buyout Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof nor result in any offset or reduction of such obligation to make a Supplemental Buyout Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof.
Section 4.2      Capital Accounts
(a)      A Capital Account will be established and maintained for each Member in the manner required by the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. If there is more than one Member in a class, then each of the Members in that class will have a separate Capital Account.
(b)      A Member’s Capital Account will be increased by (i) the amount of money the Member contributes to the Company, (ii) the Gross Asset Value of any property the Member contributes to the Company (net of liabilities secured by the property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code; the Gross Asset Value of any property contributed by a Member will be set forth in Schedule 4.2(b) ), (iii) the income and gain (or items thereof) that the Member is allocated by the Company, including any income and gain exempted from tax (e.g., income allocated in respect of the Grant) and gain described in Section 4.2(c) and (iv) an amount equal to an allocation of upward basis adjustment to such Member in the event of a recapture of the Grant or ITC as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j). A Member’s Capital Account will be decreased by (v) the amount of money distributed to the Member by the Company (including any proceeds from the Grant distributed to such Member), (vi) the Gross Asset Value of any property distributed to the Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by the property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), (vii) any expenditures of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code (i.e., expenditures that cannot be capitalized or deducted in computing taxable income) that are allocated to the Member; and (viii) losses and deductions (or items thereof) that are allocated by the Company to the Member, including losses described in Section 4.2(c) , but the Capital Account will not be reduced again under this clause (viii) for expenditures that already reduced it under clause (vii) and (ix) an amount equal to an allocation of downward basis adjustment to such Member to take into account the Grant or ITC as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j).
(c)      The Gross Asset Values of all the Company assets will be adjusted to equal their respective Gross Fair Market Values upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) if any new or existing Member contributes more than a de minimis amount of money or property, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment will be made to Gross Asset Values in connection with any Capital Contributions described in Section 4.2(b) or (c) , (ii) if more than a de minimis amount of money or other property is distributed by the Company to a

19
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


Member to redeem its Membership Interest, or (iii) if the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g). Following the occurrence of an event in clauses (i) and (ii) the Managing Member will make an adjustment to Gross Asset Value only if it reasonably determines, after Consultation with the other Members, that the adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members in the Company. In addition, the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset that is distributed to a Member will be adjusted to equal the Gross Fair Market Value of the asset on the Distribution Date. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any item of the Company’s property is adjusted as described in this Section 4.2(c) , then the amount of the adjustment will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the Gross Asset Value) or an item of loss (if the adjustment decreases the Gross Asset Value) from the disposition of such property.
(d)      As of the Original Date, the initial Capital Account balance and Percentage Interest of each Member is shown in Schedule 4.2(d) . Contributions made by the Members on Subsequent Fundings will be considered contributions of such amounts to the Company. The Managing Member will update Schedule 4.2(d) after each Subsequent Funding and from time to time as necessary to reflect accurately the information therein; provided , however , that, notwithstanding anything in this Company LLC Agreement or the ECCA to the contrary, failure to update Schedule 4.2(d) in accordance with this Section 4.2(d) shall not impact the actual amounts considered Capital Contributions hereunder, all of which shall be deemed made on the date actually contributed. Any such updating will be consistent with how this Article IV requires that the Capital Accounts be maintained. Any reference in this Agreement to Schedule 4.2(d) will be treated as a reference to Schedule 4.2(d) as amended and in effect from time to time.
(e)      If all or a portion of a Membership Interest in the Company is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the transferee will succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the Membership Interest so Transferred.
(f)      The provisions of this Agreement relating to maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations or any successor provisions.
Section 4.3      Equity Contributions to Project Company
(a)      Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 4.4 hereof, the Company shall contribute funds to the Project Company (each such contribution, an “ Equity Contribution ”) for further application by the Project Company towards payment of the purchase price for the Existing Systems and other related costs.

All CT Funding Amounts and all Subsequent Funding Payments will be deposited into an account established in the Project Company’s name with a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Class B Member (the “ Capital Contributions Account ”) and will be maintained in the Capital Contributions Account until such time as such amounts are used by the Project Company to pay for the costs or expenses for which such funds were requested, to distribute such funds to the Members as expressly permitted hereunder or for such other uses as are agreed to by the Members. Upon establishment of the Capital Contributions Account any portion of the Capital Contributions made by the Members on the Initial Funding Date that was projected to pay for the purchase price of Existing Systems that has not yet been used for such purpose shall be deposited into the Capital Contributions Account and maintained there until used in accordance with the preceding sentence.
Section 4.4      Conditions Precedent to Equity Contributions by Company The obligation of the Company to make an Equity Contribution to the Project Company (except in the case of the portion of any Equity Contribution used to pay any 25% Progress Payments for Existing Systems to be deployed in the subsequent quarter which shall be subject to the conditions precedent hereinafter expressly provided) will be subject to the fulfillment by the Project Company, on or before the applicable Equity Contribution Date, of each of the following conditions (and upon satisfaction of such conditions, as applicable, the Managing Member shall so notify in writing the Administrator and the Members):

25
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


(c)      No losses or deductions may be allocated to a Member pursuant to this Section 5.1 to the extent the allocation would lead to a deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. Losses or deductions that a Member cannot be allocated by reason of this Section 5.1(b) will be allocated to the other Members.
Section 5.2      Adjustments The following adjustments will be made in the allocations in Section 5.1 to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b):
(a)      In any Fiscal Year in which there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, income and gain in the amount of the net decrease will be allocated to Members in the ratio required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2. This provision is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b)      In any Fiscal Year in which there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt, then income and gain in the amount of the net decrease will be allocated to each Member who was considered to have had a share of such minimum gain at the beginning of the Fiscal Year in the ratio required by Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii). This provision is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c)      In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), gross income will be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, any deficit in the Member’s Adjusted Capital Account as quickly as possible. However, an allocation will be made under this Section 5.2(c) only if and to the extent that the Member would have a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in Sections 5.1 and  5.2 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.2(c) were not in this Agreement.
(d)      In the event that any Member has a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year after all the other allocations in Section 5.1 and  5.2 have been taken into account, then the Member will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain as quickly as possible to eliminate the deficit.
(e)      Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the Members in the same ratio as other income and loss under Section 5.1 or Sections 10.2(c) and (d) , as applicable.
(f)      Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member

26
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


Nonrecourse Debt to which the Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
(g)      If the Company distributes property to a Member in liquidation of the Membership Interest of the Member and there is an adjustment in the adjusted tax basis of Company property under Section 734(b) of the Code, there will be a corresponding adjustment to the Capital Account of the Member receiving the distribution. If the Company distributes cash to a Member in excess of its outside basis in its Membership Interest, leading to an adjustment in the inside basis of the Company property under Section 734(b) of the Code, solely for purposes of adjusting Capital Accounts of the Members, the adjustment in the inside basis will be treated as gain or loss and be allocated among the Members in the same ratio as other gain or loss for the Fiscal Year in which the adjustment occurs. This provision is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) and (4) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.
(h)      The allocations in this Section 5.2 are required to comply with the Treasury Regulations. To the extent the Company can do so consistently with the Treasury Regulations, the net amount of the allocations under this Article V and Section 10.2 to each Member will be the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if this Agreement did not have this Section 5.2 .
Section 5.3      Tax Allocations
(a)      All allocations of tax items of Company income, gain, deductions and losses for each Fiscal Year will be allocated in the same proportions as the allocations of book items of Company income, gain, deductions and losses were made for such Fiscal Year pursuant to Sections 5.1 and  5.2 .
(b)      Notwithstanding Section 5.3(a) , if, as a result of contributions of property by a Member to the Company or an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of Company assets pursuant to this Company LLC Agreement, there exists a variation between the adjusted basis of an item of Company property for United States federal income tax purposes and as determined under the definition of Gross Asset Value, allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction will be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for United States federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value using the traditional method with curative allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(c). To the extent the “ceiling rule” in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b) prevents the noncontributing Members from receiving an amount of tax depreciation in any year equal to the Members’ share of Depreciation for the year, then the shortfall will be made up in succeeding years as quickly as possible out of any tax depreciation that would otherwise have been allocated to the contributing Member.

(e)      Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess non-recourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s share of such liability shall be consistent with the profit sharing percentages then in effect pursuant to Section 5.1(a) .

Any funds withheld by reason of this Section 6.2 shall nonetheless be deemed distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Company fails to withhold from actual distributions any amounts it was required to withhold, the Company may, at its option, (a) require the Member to which the withholding was credited to reimburse the Company for such withholding, or (b) reduce any subsequent distributions by the amount of such withholding.

If the report suggests that the Target IRR will be reached during the next two Fiscal Years, then the Managing Member will calculate and report whether the Class B Member has reached the Target IRR at least quarterly thereafter. The Managing Member will make its advisers available to answer any questions about its calculations. The Class B Member may invoke the dispute resolution procedures in Section 11.11(b) to resolve any item or procedure that is in dispute, and the conclusion of such dispute resolution procedures will apply in all subsequent periods to any identical item or procedure.

The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense unless otherwise specified herein; provided that any such participation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense to the extent such participation relates to a Third Party Penalty Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised at all times as to the status of the defense; provided , however , that the failure to keep the Indemnifying Party so informed shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition any such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.15 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, (i) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof which involves any condition other

61
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


than payment of money by the Indemnified Party, (ii) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof without first demonstrating to Indemnified Party the ability to pay such claim or judgment, or (iii) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof that does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party, a full and complete release from all liability in respect of such claim.
Section 9.16      No Duplication . Any liability for indemnification under this Article IX shall be determined without duplication of recovery. Without limiting the generality of the prior sentence, if a statement of facts, condition or event constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is subject to the indemnification obligation in Section 9.12 , only one recovery of Indemnified Costs per Indemnified Party shall be allowed.
Section 9.17      Sole Remedy . Except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or failure to pay and except for claims brought under Article 6 of the ECCA, the enforcement of the claims of the Parties under Section 6.6 , Section 6.7 , Section 6.8 , Section 6.9 or Article IX of this Agreement, or the enforcement of claims of the Project Company under the Repurchase Agreement, are the sole and exclusive remedies that a Party shall have under this Agreement for the recovery of Indemnified Costs; provided , however , that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party hereby reserves all equitable remedies.
Section 9.18      Survival . All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations made or undertaken by a Party in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document are material, have been relied upon by the other Parties and, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.18 or elsewhere in this Agreement (or, with respect to any representations, warranties, covenants and obligations made or undertaken in any other Transaction Document, in such Transaction Document), shall continue in full force and effect, together with the associated rights of indemnification, indefinitely.
Section 9.19      Final Date for Assertion of Indemnity Claims . All claims by an Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX resulting from breaches of representations or warranties in Article III of this Agreement shall be forever barred unless the other Party is notified within eighteen (18) months after the date such representation or warranty is made; provided that if written notice of a claim for indemnification has been given by an Indemnified Party on or prior to the last day of the respective foregoing period, then the obligation of the other Party to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved.
Section 9.20      Reasonable Steps to Mitigate . Each Indemnified Party will take, at the Indemnifying Party’s own reasonable cost and expense, all reasonable commercial steps identified by Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties to mitigate all Indemnified Costs (other than any such Indemnified Costs that are Taxes), which steps may include availing itself

62
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity. The Indemnified Parties will provide such evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of the Indemnified Costs as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.
Section 9.21      Net of Insurance Benefits . All Indemnified Costs shall be net of insurance recoveries from insurance policies of the Project Company (including under the existing title policies) to the extent that any proceeds of such policies, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred by the Project Company in connection therewith, are distributed by the Project Company to the Company and are in turn distributed by the Company to the Indemnified Party; provided , however , such amount shall account for any costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with obtaining insurance proceeds with respect to any breach or nonperformance hereunder.
Section 9.22      No Consequential Damages . Indemnified Costs shall not include, and an Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party for or in respect of, any punitive, consequential or exemplary damages of any nature including but not limited to damages for lost profits or revenues or the loss or use of such profits or revenue, loss by reason of plant shutdown or inability to operate at rated capacity, increased operating expenses of plant or equipment, increased costs of purchasing or providing equipment, materials, labor, services, costs of replacement, power or capital, debt service fees or penalties, inventory or use charges, damages to reputation, damages for lost opportunities, or claims of the Project Company’s customers, members or affiliates, regardless of whether said claim is based upon contract, warranty, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or other theory of law unless payable by such Indemnified Party as part of a Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the lost profits or revenues (and the loss or use thereof) language set forth in this Section 9.22 shall not be interpreted to exclude from Indemnified Costs any damages, losses, claims, liabilities, demands charges, suits, Taxes, penalties, costs or expenses that would otherwise be included within the definition of Indemnified Costs because they result from a reduction in the profits of the Project Company, the Company, or both.
Section 9.23      Payment of Indemnification Claims . All claims for indemnification shall be paid by Indemnifying Party in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars. Any undisputed portion of an indemnification claim shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties involved. An Indemnifying Party may dispute any portion of an indemnification claim, provided , however , that such disputed indemnification claim shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party together with interest at a market rate upon the final determination of the payable amount of the claim (if any) by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 9.24      Repayment; Subrogation . If the amount of any Indemnified Costs, at any time after the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under any insurance coverage (excluding any proceeds from self

63
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


insurance or flow through insurance policies) or under any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other entity, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, must promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party net of any Taxes imposed upon the Indemnified Party in respect of such amounts, but taking into account any Tax benefit the Indemnified Party receives as a result of such repayment. Upon making any indemnity payment (other than any indemnity payment relating to Taxes), the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party, except third parties that provide insurance coverage to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, in respect of the Indemnified Costs to which the indemnity payment relates. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims at the direction of the Indemnifying Party. Nothing in this Section 9.24 will be construed to require any Party to obtain or maintain any insurance coverage.
ARTICLE X     
DISSOLUTION AND WINDING-UP
Section 10.1      Events of Dissolution . The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of any of the following:
(a)      the written consent of the Members representing a Class Majority Vote to dissolve and terminate the Company after the final Recapture Period;
(b)      the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act;
(c)      the occurrence of the LLC Agreement Termination Date;
(d)      the disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s business and assets after the final Recapture Period;
(e)      the issuance of a final, nonappealable court order which makes it unlawful for the business of the Company to be carried on; or
(f)      at any time there are no members of the Company unless the business of the Company is continued in accordance with the Act.
Section 10.2      Distribution of Assets .
(a)      The Members hereby appoint the Managing Member to act as the liquidator upon the occurrence of one of the events in Section 10.1 . Upon the occurrence of such an event, the liquidator will proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make

64
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The liquidator may sell, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best possible price for, any or all Company property, including to Members. In no event, without the approval of Members by a Class Majority Vote, will a sale to a Member be for an amount that is less than fair market value (determined by the Appraisal Method if the Members (by a Class Majority Vote) are unable to agree on the fair market value).
(b)      The liquidator will first pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine) in the order of priority as provided by law.
(c)      All assets of the Company will be treated as if sold, and the gain treated as realized on those assets will be allocated first to Members with deficits in their Capital Accounts (in the ratio of the deficits if more than one Member’s Capital Account is in deficit) in order to eliminate the deficits.
(d)      Remaining gain or loss will be allocated next to the Class B Member in an effort to set the Capital Account of the Class B Member at a level that would allow it to reach the Target IRR out of the liquidating distributions if the Target IRR has not already been achieved, and thereafter in the ratio in Section 5.1(a)(ii) , provided that no allocation will increase a deficit in the Capital Account of a Class B Member.
(e)      After the allocations in clauses (c) and (d) have been made, then cash and property will be distributed pro rata to the Members in the amount of the positive balances in their Capital Accounts by the end of the taxable year during which the liquidation occurs (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation).
(f)      The distribution of cash and property to a Member under this Section 10.2 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member on its Membership Interests in the Company of all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act. If the assets of the Company remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company are insufficient to return Capital Contributions of each Member, such Member shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member.
Section 10.3      In-Kind Distributions . There shall be no distribution of assets of the Company in kind without a prior Class Majority Vote.
Section 10.4      Certificate of Cancellation .

65
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


(a)      When all debts, liabilities and obligations have been paid and discharged or adequate provisions have been made therefor and all of the remaining property and assets have been distributed to the Members, a certificate of cancellation shall be executed and filed by the liquidator with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which certificate shall set forth the information required by Section 18-203 of the Act.
(b)      Upon the filing of the certificate of cancellation, the existence of the Company shall cease.
(c)      All costs and expenses in fulfilling the obligations under this Section 10.4 shall be borne by the Company.

Section 11.4      Waivers and Modifications . Any waiver or consent, express, implied or deemed, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company or any action inconsistent with this Agreement is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company or any other such action. Failure on the part of a Person to insist in any one or more instances upon strict performance of any provisions of this Agreement, to take advantage of any of its rights hereunder, or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that Person or its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has lapsed. All waivers and consents hereunder shall be in writing duly executed by all Members affected by such waiver or consent and shall be delivered to the other Members in the manner described in Section 11.1 .
Section 11.5      Severability . Except as otherwise provided in the succeeding sentence, every term and provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable, and if any term or provision of this Agreement is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the legality or validity of the remainder of this Agreement. The preceding sentence shall be of no force or effect if the consequence of enforcing the remainder of this Agreement without such illegal or invalid terms or provision would be to cause any Party to lose the benefit of its economic bargain.
Section 11.6      Successors; No Third-Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Members and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall provide any benefit to any third party or entitle any third party to any claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind, it being the intent of the Members that this Agreement shall not be construed as a third-party beneficiary contract. To the full extent permitted by law, no creditor or other third party having dealings with the Company shall have the right to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and may be enforced solely by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the rights of the Members herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Company shall be deemed an asset of the Company for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned by the Company or pledged or encumbered by the Company to secure any debt or other obligation of the Company or of any of the Members.
Section 11.7      Entire Agreement . This Agreement, including the Annexes, Exhibits, and Schedules attached hereto (which are hereby incorporated by reference) or the

67
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


other agreements, and exhibits, annexes or schedules thereto expressly incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement of the Members with respect to the matters covered herein.

A meeting will be held promptly 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. If the parties are not successful in resolving a dispute within 21 days, the parties will thereafter be entitled to pursue all such remedies as may be available to them; provided that the parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York county, New York or any state of federal court in the State of Delaware with respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Member waives its right to maintain a legal action or proceeding in the courts of the State of Delaware with respect to matters relating to the organization or internal affairs of the Company.

68
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


notify the other Members not more than 20 days after such Class B Member has received written notice from the Managing Member that the Flip Date was determined to have occurred. In such event, the Members shall consider the issues raised or in dispute and discuss such issues with each other and attempt to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. If notice of dispute is not given by any Class B Member within such period, the determination that the Flip Date has occurred, and the items, procedures and calculations described above relating thereto, will be final and binding on the Members. If the dispute as to the Managing Member’s calculations is not promptly resolved within ten Business Days of such notification of the dispute, the Class B Member and the Managing Member shall each promptly present their interpretations to an Independent Accounting Firm, and shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to determine the correct amount of the calculations in dispute (if applicable, in accordance with the methodology in Sections 6.5 or  7.1 ) and to resolve the dispute promptly, but in no event more than twenty Business Days after having the dispute submitted to it. The Independent Accounting Firm will make a determination as to each of the items in dispute, which must be (i) in writing, (ii) furnished to each Member and (iii) made in accordance with this Agreement, and which determination, absent manifest error, will be conclusive and binding on all Members, taking into account Sections 6.5(b) and (c) . Each Member shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render its decision as soon as reasonably practicable, including by promptly complying with all reasonable requests by the Independent Accounting Firm for information, books, records and similar items. In the event the Independent Accounting Firm determines that any of the calculations in dispute was incorrect in any material respect, the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by Class A Members (pro rata in proportion to their Percentage Interests). In all other cases the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Class B Member disputing any of the calculations (if more than one, pro rata in proportion to their Percentage Interests). This Section 11.11(b) shall apply to any dispute brought under Section 7.6 hereof, mutatis mutandis .
(c)      If Mehetia disputes the amount or determination of any Repurchase Distributions, the Supplemental Buyout Capital Contribution, Cash Distributions, or Compensatory Distributions (including based on any item or procedure or calculation that affects such determination contained in any notice or report delivered to Mehetia, including the calculation and determination of the Current Buyout Amount (including the amount of the Supplemental Buyout Capital Contribution)), Mehetia shall notify the other Members in writing not more than 20 days after Mehetia has received written notice from the Managing Member, setting forth its objections thereto (an “ Objections Notice ”), which statement will identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which Mehetia objects (the “ Disputed Amounts ”). After the delivery of an Objections Notice, a meeting shall be held promptly between Mehetia and the Managing Member, attended by representatives of each of them with decision-making authority regarding the dispute, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute and each Disputed Amount. If Mehetia and the Managing Member do not reach a final resolution within 20 days after the delivery of the Objections Notice Mehetia and the Managing Member will submit any unresolved Disputed Amounts to the Independent Accounting Firm. In such an

69
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


event, each of Mehetia and the Managing Member will submit their calculations and their position in the applicable report in which was originally delivered to Mehetia with the Disputed Amounts, with respect to the unresolved Disputed Amounts (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), provided that each such report shall not be more favorable to the submitting party as was the initial report delivered to Mehetia or the Objections Notice (as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate, to the Independent Accounting Firm within 20 days after the date on which such unresolved Disputed Amounts were submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution, it being agreed that each of Mehetia and the Managing Member will make their respective submission contemporaneously, and with a copy to the other. Each of Mehetia and the Managing Member will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve all Disputed Amounts submitted to it as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the date on which the Independent Accounting Firm is referred the dispute. The Independent Accounting Firm will resolve such dispute by choosing, in its entirety, the report and calculations proposed by either Mehetia or the Managing Member, and will make no other resolution of such dispute. The report and calculations selected by the Independent Accounting Firm will be final, binding and non appealable by Mehetia or the Managing Member. Each of Mehetia and the Managing Member will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Independent Accounting Firm. The costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be paid by the party whose report and calculations is not chosen by the Independent Accounting Firm in its resolution of the dispute. For the avoidance of doubt, if any amount or calculation can be disputed pursuant to this Section 11.11(c) and under Section 2.3(b) of the Repurchase Agreement, Mehetia may only cause a dispute to be brought under the Repurchase Agreement or under this Agreement; provided , for clarity, if Mehetia causes the Managing Member to cause the Project Company to dispute an amount under the Repurchase Agreement, but such amount does not fully resolve or is inconsistent with a Disputed Amount, Mehetia may bring such dispute hereunder.

If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or such other Members waive compliance with the non-disclosure provisions of this Section 11.12(a) with respect to the information required to be disclosed, the first party will furnish only that portion of such information that it is advised, by opinion of counsel, is legally required to be furnished and will exercise reasonable efforts, at the other Members’ expense, to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information, including, in the case of disclosures to the IRS described in clause (iv) above, to obtain reliable assurance that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, such information will not be made available for public inspection pursuant to Section 6110 of the Code.

On the contrary, this Agreement has been prepared by the joint efforts of the respective attorneys for, and has been reviewed by, each of the parties hereto.
Section 11.14      Specific Performance . The Members agree that irreparable damage will result if this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and the Members agree that any damages available at law for a breach of this Agreement would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, to the full extent permitted by law, the provisions hereof and the obligations of the Members hereunder shall be enforceable in a court of equity, or other tribunal with jurisdiction, by a decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith.

In each case the policies must be with insurance carriers with a rating of at least A- and a financial size category of at least X by A.M. Best or A by S&P or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Class B Members.
The policies specified in Appendix 1 of this Schedule shall be in full force and effect at all times on and after the Original Date until the LLC Agreement Termination Date subject to renewal no more frequently than annually.
At no time shall there be any gap in cover.
The policy limits and cover of the insurances required in this Schedule shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements set forth in the Company LLC Agreement, but in no event less than the limits and coverage provisions set forth in Appendix 1 herein. The obligation to verify that the insurance meets the requirements of the Company LLC Agreement shall rest solely with the Company.
The Managing Member shall not violate or permit to be violated any condition, provision or requirement of any insurance policy required by this Schedule, and the Managing Member shall cause Company to perform, satisfy, and comply with all conditions, provisions and requirements of all insurance policies.
The Managing Member hereby waives any and every claim for recovery against Class B Members or their directors, officers and employees and agents for any and all loss or damage covered by any insurance policies to be maintained under this Schedule to the extent such loss or damage is recovered under any such policy.
All policies of insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Schedule, other than cover required by law, shall be endorsed such that if at any time they are cancelled, lapsed, terminated or suspended (by any party including the insuring parties), such cancellation, lapse, termination or suspension shall not become effective until at least 30 days after receipt by Class B Members from such insurer of such cancellation, lapse, termination or suspension, except for non-payment of premium for which the required written notice shall be 10 days. In addition to this requirement, the Managing Member shall inform the Class B Members as soon as reasonably possible if it becomes aware of any such cancellation, lapse, termination or suspension or of any reasonable prospect of such and shall further require the Company’s broker to do the same.

- 3 -
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


All policies of insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Schedule, except workers compensation and employers liability, shall provide: Additional Insured status for Class B Members and their respective affiliates, directors, officers and employees and agents (collectively, the “Additional Insureds”). This requirement shall not apply to any professional indemnity policy.

Policies either (a) non-cancellable except for non-payment of premium with at least 10 days written notice of such to the Class B Members; or (b) cancellation/non-payment provisions in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule.
Class B Members will have the right but not the obligation to pay premiums on behalf of the Company in case of non-payment.
Policies shall be unaffected by any bankruptcy or foreclosure relating to the Managing Member, the Company or the Project Company.
Insurance shall be primary and not excess to or contributing with any other insurance or self-insurance maintained by the Managing Member, the Company, or the Additional Insureds. However, policies can act in excess of such project-specific policies provided by contractors in accordance with the requirements of this Schedule.
Insurer shall not permit the Managing Member to reduce limits or cover or degrade terms and conditions without the prior written approval of the Class B Members.
The Additional Insureds shall have no obligations whatsoever including, but not limited to, no obligation to pay premiums and no obligation to pay deductibles.

That Class B Members shall be loss payee of any amounts payable under the policies in relation to the Managing Member, the Company or the Project Company.
Non vitiation in accordance with a multiple insured clause acceptable to the Class B Members or equivalent protection.
Replacement cost, new for old, with no deduction of any kind including no coinsurance provision or a waiver thereof and no allowance for depreciation (accounting or otherwise), obsolescence or loss of value over time other than in a total constructive loss or other scenario where repair/replacement does not follow loss.
An advance or partial payment endorsement.
A clause requiring the insurer to make final payment on any claim within thirty days after the submission of proof of loss and its acceptance by the insurer.

DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


The above requirements shall be referred to as the “Required Provisions”. The Required Provisions can be provided either as endorsements to or in the main body of the relevant policy. All policies that replace or renew policies shall contain provisions, including limits, sublimits, deductibles, exclusions and the Required Provisions, that are, mutatis mutandis, in all material regards at least the same as those in place at the Original Date or, if later, the date of first inception of such policy cover, except in relation to risks where exposure no longer exists or where a better level of cover is provided or which would be required in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule.
The Managing Member shall provide Class B Members as soon as reasonably possible prior to the Initial Funding Date, and at least 10 days prior to any subsequent policy inception or renewal, a certificate of pre-agreed format from:
Each placing broker confirming:
o
Summary policy terms in the pre-agreed format.
o
That all policies required by this Schedule are in full force and effect.
o
All insurance premiums that are due and payable have been paid in full with no premium overdue.
There shall be appended to such certificate or letter of undertaking certificates from insurers for each policy required by this Schedule listing the major sublimits (to be agreed) and confirming that all Required Provisions that apply to such policy are in place.
The Insurance Consultant (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) confirming that:
o
The insurance provided complies with the requirements of this Schedule and further complies with the requirements of the Managing Member in the Transaction Documents.
o
That the undertakings made by each placing broker conform to the requirements of prudent industry practice.
The insurance provided by the Company shall be at least that evidenced in any certificates or other evidence provided by the Company or the Project Company.
Any of the requirements of this Schedule can be satisfied by single or by combined policies. However, as would be deemed necessary in accordance with prudent industry practice, a joint loss agreement will be required and included as part of the respective policies (for example, if there were separate marine transit and builders all-risk policies, then a 50:50 clause would be required).
If in the opinion of the Managing Member, acting reasonably, any insurance, including the terms and conditions, Required Provisions and limits or deductibles thereof, hereby required by this Schedule to be maintained, other than insurance required to be maintained by law which shall be maintained at all times, shall not be available on commercially reasonable terms in the commercial insurance market, the Managing Member shall promptly inform the Class B Members of such purported unavailability and the Managing Member shall seek a waiver from Class B Members in relation to such purported unavailability in which case the Class B Members, acting after consultation with the Insurance Consultant, shall not unreasonably withhold agreement to waive such requirement to the extent the maintenance thereof is not so available. The granting by Class B Members of any such waiver is conditional on: (i) the Managing Member first requesting such waiver in writing, which request shall be accompanied by written reports prepared by the Company

- 5 -
DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


and its placing broker certifying that such insurance is not available on commercially reasonable terms in the commercial insurance market for projects of similar type and capacity and, in any case where the required amount is not so available, certifying as to the maximum amount which is so available, and explaining in detail the basis for such conclusions and the form and substance of such reports to be reasonably acceptable to the Class B Members after consultation with the Insurance Consultant; (ii) at any time after the granting of any such waiver, the Class B Members may request, and the Managing Member furnish to the Class B Members within fifteen (15) days after such request, supplemental reports reasonably acceptable to the Class B Members updating the prior reports and reaffirming such conclusion; (iii) any such waiver granted by the Class B Members can amend, to the extent reasonably required to mitigate any increased risks created by the absence of insurance cover that is the subject of the waiver, any of the terms of this Schedule; (iv) the Class B Members may require the Company to obtain the best available insurance comparable to the requirements of this Schedule on commercially reasonable terms then available in the commercial insurance market (as determined by the Insurance Consultant); and (v) such waiver shall be effective only so long as such insurance shall not be available on commercially reasonable terms in the commercial insurance market (as determined by the Insurance Consultant) it being understood that the failure of the Managing Member to furnish any supplemental reports shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence that such waiver is no longer effective because such condition no longer exists, but that such failure is not the only way to establish such non-existence.
The policy teams actually provided in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule shall be at least those evidenced to the Company.
Any failure on the part of Class B Members to pursue or obtain the evidence of insurance required by this Schedule from the Managing Member and/or failure to point out any noncompliance of such evidence of insurance shall not constitute a waiver of any of the insurance requirements in this Schedule.
Each liability insurance policy required pursuant to this Schedule that is permitted to be written on a “claims made” basis shall provide (a) a retroactive date (as such term is specified in each of such policies) that is no later than the Original Date and (b) each time any policy written on a “claims made” basis is not renewed or the retroactive date of such policy is to be changed, the Company shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained or maintained, for each such policy or policies the broadest extended reporting period coverage, or “tail”, reasonably available in the commercial insurance market for each such policy or policies but in no case less than three (3) years. The Company may satisfy the requirements of this Schedule by obtaining “prior acts” coverage from a subsequent insurance carrier on terms acceptable to the Class B Members, acting reasonably.
All property insurance including marine cargo and any time element insurance shall not include any annual or term aggregate limits or sublimits except for the perils of windstorm, flood, earth movement and land and water decontamination but only to the extent permitted in Appendix 1 to this Schedule. Liability policies may have general aggregate limits in accordance with prudent insurance market practice.

DM_US 159585344-17.085887.0029


All insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to this Schedule shall contain terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Class B Members following consultation with the Insurance Consultant.
In the event that at any time the insurance as herein provided or as evidenced shall be reduced or cease to be maintained, then the Class B Members, upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice (unless such insurance coverage would lapse within such period, in which event notice should be given as soon as reasonably possible) to the Company of any such failure, may (but shall not be obligated to) take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same. All amounts so advanced for such purpose shall become an additional obligation of the Company to the Class B Members and the Company shall forthwith pay such amounts (as provided in the Company LLC Agreement, if any).
The Class B Members can, acting reasonably, require such additional cover to be provided as is required to confirm to prudent industry practice.
The Class B Members shall have the option to be present and/or to send representatives during meetings and/or negotiations with insurers of any loss settlement in relation to the Company or the Project regarding (a) total constructive loss or any scenario in which repair/replacement will not follow loss, (b) any circumstance involving a claim in relation to an event or series of events which has or could be reasonably expected to lead to a default under any Transaction Documents or material contracts. Neither the Managing Member nor any of its Affiliates shall be permitted to settle any such claim with an insurer without the approval of the Class B Members to the agreed settlement.
The Class B Members may, pursuant to its rights and obligations under this Schedule, consult with the Insurance Consultant and require reports, compliance certificates and other work product from the Insurance Consultant.
Terms used in this Schedule, unless otherwise specifically defined herein or in the Company LLC Agreement, shall have the meaning normally ascribed to them in accordance with prudent industry practice in relation to a project similar in type and jurisdiction as the Project.

(a)      No less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the event of such termination pursuant to subsection (B) above, to the extent Buyer requires any maintenance services for such New System following such termination, Buyer shall notify Seller of such requirements in writing. If Seller desires to perform such maintenance services, Seller shall provide within five (5) Business Days to Buyer the material terms and conditions (including the scope of services offered, the price(s) quoted for such services, and the terms of any performance warranties to be provided in connection with such services) pursuant to which it is willing to provide such maintenance services for such New System, which shall be no less favorable to Buyer than Seller’s standard rates, terms and warranties as of such date. If Buyer declines to engage Seller to perform such services, or the Parties are unable to execute appropriate documentation to reflect such services, Buyer may (subject to Section 10.8(b) ) seek to engage a Third Party Operator to perform such services, provided that, prior to engaging any such Third Party Operator to maintain such New System, Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller of the material terms and conditions on which such third party has offered to provide such service (including (X) the scope of services offered, (Y) the price(s) quoted for such services, and (Z) the terms of any performance warranties to be provided in connection with such services). Seller shall have ten (10) Business Days to notify Buyer if Seller will agree to perform the

(b)      Without in any way limiting the provisions of the foregoing Section 10.8(a) , Buyer shall in all events use commercially reasonable efforts to engage a Third Party Operator to provide such maintenance that is not a competitor of Seller or its Affiliates and is not in litigation or other material dispute with Seller.

Buyer shall give Seller prompt notice of any such claims.

System to Seller, as directed by Seller, provide to Buyer a non-infringing New System meeting the functional specifications of the New System, or (iv) when and if none of the first three options is reasonably available to Seller, authorize the return of the New System to Seller and, upon receipt thereof, return to Buyer all monies paid by Buyer to Seller for the cost of the New Systems and BOF, net of any monies paid by Seller to Buyer pursuant to the New System Portfolio Output Warranty, Efficiency Guaranty and/or Output Guaranty to the extent such Seller payments are allocable to such New System; provided that Seller shall not elect the option in the preceding clause (i) without Buyer’s written consent if such election could reasonably be expected to materially decrease Buyer’s revenues or materially increase Buyer’s operating expenses.
(b)      THIS INDEMNITY SHALL NOT COVER ANY CLAIM:
(i)      for Intellectual Property infringement, conflict, violation or misuse arising from or in connection with any combination made by Buyer of any New System with any other product or products or modifications made by or on behalf of Buyer to any part of the New System, unless (A) such combination or modification is in accordance with Seller’s specifications for the New System, (B) such combination or modification is made by or on behalf of or at the written request of Seller where Seller has requested the specific combination or modification giving rise to the claim by Buyer, or (C) such other product or products would not infringe the Intellectual Property rights of a third party but for the combination with any part of the New System; or

48



Indemnitee or the breach by Seller or any Seller Indemnitee of its covenants, representations and warranties under this Agreement or in any Seller’s Certificate of Commissioning or (ii) operation of Bloom Systems by a party outside of Buyer’s control or direction (including any Seller Personnel) or by a party taking such action despite Buyer’s reasonable efforts to prevent the same.
Section 11.3      Indemnification of Buyer by Seller .
(a)      Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its members, managers, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents (each, a “ Buyer Indemnitee ”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses (other than Indemnifiable Losses addressed in Section 11.1 ) asserted against or suffered by any Buyer Indemnitee arising out of a Third Party Claim, and in any way relating to, resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claims against a Buyer Indemnitee to the extent arising out of or in connection with (i) the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of Seller or any Seller Personnel (other than matters addressed separately in Section 11.1 , which shall be governed by the terms thereof), (ii) a breach by Seller of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement or in any Seller’s Certificate of Commissioning, or any breach of a Site Lease or Interconnection Agreement, to the extent relating to, resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any act or omission by Seller or any Seller Personnel, or (iii) any injury, death, or damage to property caused by a defect in a New System; provided that, Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer to the extent caused by or arising out of (x) any negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of a Buyer Indemnitee, except to the extent caused by any Seller Personnel, (y) the breach by Buyer or any Buyer Indemnitee of its covenants, representations and warranties under this Agreement or any Site Lease or Interconnection Agreement, except to the extent such a breach is caused by Seller’s (or any Seller Personnel’s) breach of this Agreement (including any failure to perform obligations on behalf of Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), or (z) the inability of Buyer to ultimately utilize any tax benefits.
(b)      Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event that Buyer incurs any liability, cost, loss or expense to a Site Landlord (including relating to a breach of a Site Lease) in relation to the repurchase by or return to Seller of any New System under this Agreement, Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless for any such liability, cost, loss or expense incurred by Buyer.
(c)      Seller acknowledges and agrees that each Site Landlord is an intended third party beneficiary of Seller’s indemnification obligations in favor of the Buyer Indemnitees and that Buyer may, with Seller’s reasonable consent following cooperative discussions between the Parties regarding the least disruptive manner of resolving the applicable Site Landlord claim, elect to assign to a Site Landlord the right to seek indemnification directly from Seller in the event that Buyer owes to such Site Landlord any indemnification obligations arising out of or in connection with any breach of a Site Lease arising out of any actions or inactions of Seller under this Agreement that give rise to an indemnification obligation of Seller in favor of any Buyer Indemnitee.

If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Indemnified Party or if a conflict precludes the Indemnifying Party from assuming the defense, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party on a monthly basis for the Indemnified Party’s reasonable defense expenses through separate counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choice. Even if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Party with acceptable counsel, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole option, may participate in the defense, at its own expense, with counsel of its own choice without relieving the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 11.2      Limitation of Liability .
(a)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall a Party be liable to the other Party for an amount in excess of the Maximum Liability unless and to the extent such liability is the result of (A) fraud, willful default, willful misconduct, or gross negligence of a Party or that Party’s employees, agents, subcontractors (except that for the purposes of this provision, Seller and any applicable Seller Personnel will not be deemed to be employees, agents or subcontractors of Buyer), (B) a Third Party Claim, (C) a claim of Seller against Buyer for Buyer’s failure to pay the Purchase Price for any Facility (which amounts shall not be included in calculating Buyer’s Maximum Liability), (D) a claim with respect to injury to or death of any individual, (E) Seller’s abandonment to the extent constituting a repudiation of this Agreement in respect of all or any part of the Facilities, (F) events or circumstances in respect of which insurance proceeds are available or that would have been available but for a failure by Seller to maintain, or comply with the terms of, insurance that it is required to obtain and maintain under this Agreement, and any amounts so received will not be included when calculating Seller’s Maximum Liability, (G) a claim of Buyer against Seller for Seller’s breach of a Fundamental Representation, or (H) any purchase price adjustment pursuant to Section 2.7 .

not excuse Seller from the obligation to competently perform any subcontracted or assigned obligations or any of its other obligations under the Agreement and (Y) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the consent of any Party with respect to any change in control, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Southern Power Company or Seller.

(b)      In the event of an assignment by Buyer or other transaction described in clause (iii) of Section 12.4(a) , Buyer shall notify Seller of the identity of the proposed assignee or successor in writing, and Seller shall have the right to consent to such assignment or transaction in the event that Seller reasonably believes such proposed assignee to be a competitor of Seller. Seller shall notify Buyer of its determination within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of notice from Buyer hereunder. If Seller notifies Buyer that it has determined that the proposed assignee is a competitor of Seller and that Seller is electing to withhold consent, then Buyer shall be prohibited from consummating the proposed transaction unless it has been finally determined that such proposed assignee is not a competitor of Seller.
(c)      Any disputes regarding Seller’s determination of a proposed assignee as a competitor to Seller shall be resolved as follows:
(i)      Buyer will promptly provide written notification of the dispute to Seller within five (5) Business Days after notice by Seller that it has determined the proposed assignee to be a competitor and that it is withholding its consent.

ARTICLE I.     

FACILITY SERVICES
Section 1.1      In General .
(a)      During the Warranty Period, in consideration of the Service Fees, Operator shall service each Bloom System and all associated BOF (including, for clarity, all New BOF) so that each Bloom System, each Portfolio and the Project

20



performs in accordance with the Warranty Specifications and so that the BOF will not cause the Portfolio to fail to perform in accordance with the Warranty Specifications (as applicable), as more fully set forth in ARTICLE IV . Without limiting the foregoing, Operator agrees to perform on behalf of Owner all operations and maintenance obligations in respect of each Facility under the Tariff, PJM Market Rules, and Site Lease in a manner fully consistent with the terms and conditions of such documents. The services set forth in this Section 3.1 , as more fully described in this ARTICLE III , are collectively referred to herein as the “ Facility Services .” For clarity, but without in any way excusing Operator from its obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or Owner’s remedies for breach thereof, Operator shall have no liability, authority or responsibility with respect to the payment or receipt of monies from PJM or DPL or with respect to serving or receiving formal notices to or from PJM, DPL, and Site Landlords; provided, however, that Operator may informally communicate with PJM, DPL, and Site Landlords regarding routine, day-to-day Facility Services matters. For so long as Operator is performing Facility Services in respect of a Facility (or any portion thereof), the Parties intend that Operator shall be responsible for all operational and scheduled preventative maintenance (including all of the Operator’s obligations under the Interconnection Agreement), and unscheduled corrective maintenance activities in respect of such Facility that are required to be performed physically at the Site. If a Party has any uncertainty regarding which Party is responsible for particular obligations, the Party’s Manager shall discuss such matter with the other Party’s Manager to implement the allocation of responsibility intended by this Agreement and the Parties thereafter shall, if necessary, amend this Agreement to clarify the Parties’ agreement regarding such allocation of responsibility.
(b)      Upon the expiration of the Manufacturer’s Warranty Period with respect to any New System(s) and New BOF, Owner may, at its option, elect to renew the Warranty Period with respect to such New System(s) and New BOF for a period of one (1) additional year, provided , that the Warranty Period for such New System and New BOF shall in all events end on the expiration of applicable Extended Warranty Period for such New System and New BOF. The Warranty Period for each New System and New BOF shall be automatically renewed for a period of one (1) additional year at the termination of the existing Warranty Period if Owner has not informed Operator in writing of its election to terminate the Warranty Period at the end of such existing Warranty Period at least thirty (30) days prior to the final date of such existing Warranty Period.
Section 1.2      Operation and Maintenance Services . Without limiting, and in furtherance of, Section 3.1 , for the duration of the Warranty Period of the final Bloom System, Operator is hereby granted the right and authority (and, to the extent necessary to carry out its functions hereunder, a limited power of attorney) and agrees, for the benefit of Owner, to safely and reliably operate, maintain and repair each Bloom System and all related items of BOF (including, for clarity, all New BOF) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and keep each such Bloom

21



System and BOF items in good condition and repair in accordance with the Warranty Specifications, Performance Standards and Prudent Electrical Practices. During the Warranty Period, the specific responsibilities of Operator under this Agreement shall include the following:
(a)      Facility Operations . Operator shall ensure that all Bloom Systems and each item of BOF are operated and maintained safely and in a manner designed to meet the Warranty Specifications and Performance Standards and as otherwise required under this Agreement.
(b)      Facility Maintenance, Repair and Replacement . Operator shall perform, or cause to be performed, all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, repair and replacement required so that each Bloom System and the Portfolio (as applicable) performs in accordance with the Warranty Specifications and Performance Standards. In that regard, Operator’s responsibilities hereunder shall include promptly correcting any Bloom System or BOF malfunctions, either by (i) recalibrating or resetting the malfunctioning Bloom System or BOF or New BOF, or (ii) subject to Section 4.9(b) , repairing or replacing Bloom System or BOF components which are defective, damaged, worn or otherwise in need of repair or replacement. Operator agrees to respond in a timely manner to any Facility outage or other casualty that materially reduces power output by (A) promptly diagnosing the source of such issue and (B) if on-Site Facility Services are required, using commercially reasonable efforts to (1) dispatch field service personnel to the Site within six (6) hours of Operator’s Knowledge that such on-Site Facility Services are required, and (2) cause its field service personnel to arrive at the applicable Site in order to commence diagnosis and/or repair services at the applicable Facility no later than the next Business Day. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Operator shall in any event comply with any and all response time(s) and/or corrective activity(ies) required by the applicable Site Lease or Interconnection Agreement. Operator shall calibrate, or cause to be calibrated, not less than once per year all measurement tooling used for Facility Services as well as Bloom System and BOF measurement equipment and components, including the Facility Meter, the Facility Gas Meter, and the Bloom System Meters for all Bloom Systems. Any of costs associated with services performed by third parties with respect to the calibration of the Facility Meters and Facility Gas Meters shall be paid by Owner to such third party(ies) directly or subject to reimbursement by Owner if Operator pays such costs for Owner’s convenience.
(c)      Repair and Replacement of Power Modules . Owner agrees that Operator may replace the power modules included in each Bloom System with power modules of a different model provided that such replacement model has been subjected to inspections and tests performed by Operator which indicate that such replacement power module model is reasonably expected to perform at least as well as the model it replaces; provided, however, that, upon Owner’s request, Operator agrees to promptly provide Owner with copies of such inspection and test results.

22



Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operator represents to Owner that it reasonably expects that any repair or replacement of power modules to be made within five (5) years of the date the applicable Bloom System was Placed in Service will have an aggregate value of replaced parts that is less than eighty percent (80%) of the Bloom System’s total value (the cost of the new parts plus the value of the remaining Bloom System originally Placed in Service).
(d)      Personnel . Operator shall ensure that all operations and maintenance functions contemplated by this Section are performed by technically competent and qualified personnel (the “ Service Technicians ”). Operator shall ensure that all Service Technicians: (i) participate in a maintenance training program and receive confirmation of having achieved the requisite level of proficiency for the tasks they are assigned to perform, and (ii) attend periodic “refresher” training programs to the extent Operator deems necessary, in its reasonable judgment.
(e)      Spare Parts . Operator shall establish and maintain an adequate inventory of spare parts in one or more locations to facilitate scheduled and unscheduled maintenance required on the Facilities.
(f)      Programs and Procedures . Operator represents and warrants to Owner that, as of the Agreement Date, Operator has adopted and implemented (and until the end of the Warranty Period Operator shall maintain) programs and procedures, consistent with Prudent Electrical Practices, intended to ensure safe and reliable operation of the Facilities. Operator may update such programs and procedures from time-to-time during the Term as it may determine appropriate, in its reasonable judgment and in accordance with Prudent Electrical Practices. Owner may, not more than once per calendar year and at Owner’s sole cost and expense, review such programs and procedures from time to time to confirm compliance with Prudent Electrical Practices. Owner may from time to time provide comments on any such Operator programs and procedures and Operator agrees to consider any such comments in good faith; provided that Owner’s review and comment on any such program or procedure will not relieve Operator of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(g)      Operational Complaints . Operator will promptly provide notice to Owner if Operator has received any written communication from any Site Landlord, PJM, DPL or any other Person suggesting that such Person is dissatisfied with the operational performance of any Facility or with the manner in which Installation Services or Facility Services have been provided by Owner, Operator or any other Service Provider in respect of any Facility . If any Site Landlord, PJM, or DPL misdirects any written notice to Operator that should have been delivered to Owner under the applicable contract between Owner and such Person related to the applicable Facility, Operator shall promptly deliver such written notice to Owner.
(h)      Operations, Maintenance, Repairs and Replacements Procedures . Without in any way limiting Operator’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.2 ,

23



Operator shall perform all operations, maintenance, repairs and replacement work in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 3.2 .
(i)      Title . Title to all replacement items, parts, materials and equipment supplied under or pursuant to this Agreement to Owner shall transfer to Owner upon installation or inclusion and commissioning in a Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operator shall be solely responsible for the management of and take title to any materials or waste generated as a result of the Facility Services, will be considered the “generator” of any wastes and the “arranger” of the disposal of any such materials or waste as those terms are defined under Environmental Laws, and shall have the right and obligation to dispose of any such materials or waste in any lawful manner that it chooses in its sole discretion at the Operator’s cost. Upon replacement of an item or part as part of the Facility Services provided hereunder, Operator shall promptly remove such item or part and shall have the right and obligation to dispose of such replaced property in any lawful manner that it chooses in its sole discretion at the Operator’s cost. Liens . Operator shall not directly or indirectly cause, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to any Site, Bloom System or Facility, and shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Operator becomes aware of the filing or creation of such Lien and at Operator’s sole cost and expense, take such action as may be required to cause any Lien filed against the Site or Facility for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Owner or its Affiliates to be discharged by bond or otherwise. Service Fees .
(j)      Owner shall compensate Operator for the Facility Services, on a monthly basis in advance, by paying Operator the “ Service Fees ” equal to the sum of:
(i)      For each Existing System as to which the Payment Date Amount has not yet been paid pursuant to the Existing System Repurchase Agreement as of the invoice date (the “ Remaining Existing Systems ”), (A) the rate (in $/kW) specified in Exhibit B hereto for the applicable calendar month, multiplied by (B) the aggregate System Capacity (in kW) of the Remaining Existing Systems; provided , that Operator acknowledges that Owner previously paid Service Fees under the Original MOMA on an annual basis in advance and therefore no Services Fee shall be due with respect to any Existing System until the calendar month immediately following the month in which the anniversary of the date on such Existing System achieved “Commencement of Operations” pursuant to the Existing System MESPA occurs; plus
(ii)      For each New System, beginning on the first day following the expiration of the Manufacturer’s Warranty Period for such New System, (A) the rate (in $/kW) specified in Exhibit B hereto for the applicable calendar month, multiplied by (B) the aggregate System Capacity (in kW) of such New System.

24



(k)      If Facility Services are provided by Operator for a particular Bloom System for only a portion of any calendar month, the Service Fees due with respect to such Bloom System shall be pro-rated based on the number of days such Facility Services were provided in respect of such Bloom System during the calendar month.
(l)      Service Fees shall be invoiced not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable calendar month, and, subject to Section 3.3(f) , shall be payable no later than the thirty (30) calendar days following such proper delivery of such invoice; provided, that the pro rata Service Fees for the calendar month in which a New System is Commissioned shall be invoiced and paid with the Service Fees for the subsequent calendar month. Interest shall accrue, unless being contested in good faith, daily on the Service Fees not paid when due, at the lesser of the monthly rate of (i) one and five-tenths percent (1.5%) and (ii) the highest rate permissible by law on such unpaid balance. Operator shall be under no obligation to provide or perform services hereunder for any Existing System (other than, during the Transition Period, with respect to the applicable BOFs) if any invoiced Service Fees under Section 3.3(a)(i) (other than Service Fees disputed in good faith) have not been paid in full when due until such date upon which such Service Fee has been paid (“ Existing System Operation Excuse ”). Operator shall be under no obligation to provide or perform services hereunder for any New System (other than, during the Transition Period, with respect to the applicable BOFs) if any invoiced Service Fees under Section 3.3(a)(ii) (other than Service Fees disputed in good faith or offset pursuant to Section 3.3(f) ) have not been paid in full within thirty (30) days of invoice until such date upon which such Service Fee has been paid (“ New System Operation Excuse ”). For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall an Existing System Operation Excuse constitute a New System Operation Excuse or vice versa, such that Operator shall continue to provide services for all Existing Systems if Owner has paid all Service Fees for the Existing Systems hereunder even if Owner has failed to pay Service Fees for one or more New Systems, and vice versa.
(m)      If Owner disputes any amount shown in an invoice issued by Operator in accordance with Section 3.3(a) : (i) Owner must pay the undisputed portion of the invoice amount within the time prescribed by Section 3.3(a) , and (ii) liability for the disputed portion of that invoice will be determined in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set out in Section 13.5 .
(n)      Any disputed portion of an invoiced amount which was not paid under Section 3.3(d) and is determined as being due to Operator in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set out in Section 13.5 must be paid by Owner within ten (10) days of the determination of the dispute in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 13.5 plus, if it is determined in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures that the disputed portion was not disputed in good faith, interest calculated in accordance with Section 3.3(c) .

25



(o)      Owner shall have the sole and absolute right to set off any undisputed amounts to which it is entitled to under this Agreement and which are past due, including under Section 4.9 , against any amounts owed by Owner to Operator under this Agreement. The deduction of any such amounts shall operate for all purposes as a complete discharge (to the extent of such deduction) of the obligation of Owner to pay the amount from which such deduction was withheld and made. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure to exercise, such right of setoff will constitute an election of remedies or limit Owner in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.
(p)      Owner at its sole option is hereby authorized to setoff any undisputed amounts owed Owner under the New System CapEx Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable, and which are past due against any amounts owed by Owner to Operator under the New System CapEx Agreement or this Agreement. The rights provided by this paragraph are in addition to and not in limitation of any other right or remedy (including any right to set-off, counterclaim, or otherwise withhold payment) to which Owner may be entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).
(q)      Owner acknowledges that the Service Fees set forth as of the Agreement Date reflect the Parties’ agreement regarding such amounts based on the Operator’s costs of performing the Facility Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including all applicable Legal Requirements as of the Agreement Date. In the event of any change in Legal Requirements following the Agreement Date that results in a material increase in Operator’s costs of performing the Facility Services following the Agreement Date, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith regarding an appropriate adjustment to the Service Fees to reflect such increased costs.
Section 1.3      Remote Monitoring; BloomConnect . For purposes of monitoring the operational performance and determining when repair services are necessary, Operator shall monitor and evaluate the information gathered through remote monitoring of each Facility as well as the maintenance and inspection Site visits. For so long as Operator is responsible for the Facility Services in respect of any Facility, Operator shall provide Owner with access to the “BloomConnect” portal so that Owner may access to applicable information gathered through remote monitoring of such Facility. Such access shall be provided in real time or as close to real time as practicable.
Section 1.4      Permits; Tariff .
(a)      Operator shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for obtaining, maintaining and complying with all Permits required to perform the Facility Services under this Agreement, and shall promptly notify Owner of any written communications from Governmental Authorities or third parties with regard to Permits or compliance with Legal Requirements, or challenges to the status of a Permit for a Facility, or any other material issues or anticipated material issues

26



relating to obtaining or maintaining a Permit for a Facility. Owner shall cooperate with and assist Operator in obtaining all such Permits at Operator’s sole cost and expense.
(b)      Operator agrees to assist with the Owner’s preparation and submission of all filings and notices of any nature which are required to be made by Owner under the terms of any Permit held by Owner or any Legal Requirements applicable to the Facilities or to Owner on account of the Facilities.
(c)      Each of Owner and Operator shall, in connection with the matters referenced in Section 3.5(a) and Section 3.5(b), consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with any such Governmental Authorities or, in connection with any proceeding by any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Authority or other Person, give the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences.
(d)      If any Governmental Authority shall take any action which requires a response or action by Operator with respect to any Permits required to perform the Facility Services or related to compliance with Legal Requirements applicable to the Facility Services, Operator agrees immediately to notify Owner of the required response or action and shall proceed only with the prior advice of Owner, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Owner has the right to review and comment on Operator’s draft responses to any Governmental Authorities regarding Permits required to perform the Facility Services or related to compliance with Legal Requirements applicable to the Facility Services prior to Operator’s issuance of such response. Operator agrees to consider any comments or suggestions from Owner in good faith.
(e)      Without limiting the foregoing, promptly following the Agreement Date, the Parties shall meet to discuss the applicability, desirability and timing for pursuing the “ingredient” exclusion contemplated by 40 CFR 261.2(e)(1)(i) in respect of desulfurization canisters removed from the Facilities in connection with the Facilities Services.
Section 1.5      Coordination of Relationship .
(a)      Operator’s Operations Manager . Operator shall at all times retain an operations manager (the “ Operations Manager ”) who shall be dedicated to the overall supervision and management of performance of Operator’s Facility Services obligations under this Agreement. Operator’s initial Operations Manager is set forth on Exhibit K . Operator may, from time to time, designate another individual as a proposed replacement for the Operations Manager by notice to Owner. Operator’s suggested replacement Operations Manager shall be subject to Owner’s approval, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in all instances. Where feasible, Owner shall have the opportunity to meet the replacement Operations Manager in person or telephonically prior to assignment. Such meeting will take place

27



telephonically except as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent Operator from assigning interim replacements on a temporary basis to enable it to continue to timely perform its obligations while assignment of a permanent replacement is pending. During the Term, Operator shall not assign the Operations Manager duties that are inconsistent or that conflict with the obligations of the Operations Manager in respect of his or her Facility Services duties.
(b)      Owner Manager . Owner will appoint an individual to serve as its primary contact person with regard to this Agreement (the “ Owner Manager ”). Owner’s initial Owner Manager is set forth on Exhibit K . Owner may, from time to time, designate another individual as a proposed replacement for the Owner Manager by notice to Operator.
(c)      Manager Meetings . The Owner Manager and the Operations Manager will serve as each Party’s main contact to, and for, the other Party with regard to day-to-day matters affecting the Parties’ relationship in relation to Installation Services and Facility Services. The Owner Manager and the Operations Manager (or their designees) will meet, by phone or in person, as often as they feel necessary to monitor and manage such day-to-day activities. Such managers shall operate by consensus to the extent practicable but shall have no authority to amend or waive compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or to approve actions of the Parties that are inconsistent with this Agreement. Any such waivers or amendments shall be implemented only as described in Section 13.1 or Section 13.2 , as the case may be.
ARTICLE II.     
WARRANTIES
Section 2.1      Facility Services Warranty . Without limiting Operator’s obligations under ARTICLE III, during the Warranty Period, Operator shall perform, or cause to be performed, all such Facility Services in respect of the Bloom Systems and the BOF and the New BOF necessary for the Project to perform in accordance with the Warranty Specifications (the “ Facility Services Warranty ”).
Section 2.2      New System Portfolio Output Guaranty .
(a)      During the Warranty Period, Operator shall determine within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, whether the New System Portfolio has delivered the Minimum kWh to the applicable Interconnection Points during such calendar month (“ Output Guaranty ”).
(b)      If such calculation indicates that the Actual kWh delivered by the New System Portfolio was greater than the Minimum kWh during such calendar month, then the difference (in kWh) between Actual kWh less Minimum kWh shall be recorded as a positive balance in the Output Guaranty Bank.

28



(c)      If such calculation indicates that the Actual kWh delivered by the New System Portfolio was less than the Minimum kWh during such calendar month, then the difference (in kWh) between Minimum kWh less Actual kWh shall be recorded as a negative balance in the Output Guaranty Bank.

quoted for such services, and the terms of any performance warranties to be provided in connection with such services) pursuant to which it is willing to provide such maintenance services for such Facility, which shall be no less favorable to Owner than Operator’s standard rates, terms and warranties as of such date. If Owner declines to engage Operator to perform such services, or the Parties are unable to execute appropriate documentation to reflect such services, Owner may (subject to Section 11.9(b) ) seek to engage a Third Party Operator to perform such services, provided that, prior to engaging any such Third Party Operator to maintain such Facility, Owner shall provide written notice to Operator of the material terms and conditions on which such third party has offered to provide such service (including (X) the scope of services offered, (Y) the price(s) quoted for such services, and (Z) the terms of any performance warranties to be provided in connection with such services). Operator shall have ten (10) Business Days to notify Owner if Operator will agree to perform the applicable services for a price not to exceed the quoted amount and otherwise on terms no less favorable to Owner than those included in the notice required hereunder. If Operator agrees to provide such services, the Parties will negotiate in good faith regarding appropriate documentation to reflect such services. If Operator declines to provide such services, Owner may engage the applicable third party on terms no more favorable to such third party than those provided in the notice to Operator.
(b)      Without in any way limiting the provisions of the foregoing Section 11.9(a) , Owner shall in all events use commercially reasonable efforts to engage a Third Party Operator to provide such maintenance that is not a competitor of Operator or its Affiliates and is not in litigation or other material dispute with Operator.

If Owner notified Operator of its intent to abandon the Project in connection with the expiration of the Tariff, then (i) Operator, at its sole cost, shall assume all of Owner’s obligations to remove the Bloom Systems and all BOF from each Site and to restore each Site in accordance with the Performance Standards (including all requirements of each Site Lease), (ii) title to each Bloom System, item of BOF and each other Project asset shall pass from Owner to Operator as of the day the Operator removes such item from the applicable Site, and (iii) Operator shall indemnify Owner from any and all Indemnifiable Losses related to the removal and restoration of each Site in accordance with the terms of Section 12.3 .
(b)      In the event that Owner elects to abandon the Project pursuant to Section 11.9(a) , Owner agrees to cooperate with Operator as Operator may

50



reasonably request (and at Operator’s sole cost and expense) so that Operator may satisfy its obligations pursuant to such Section 11.9(a) , including assisting Operator in seeking an extension of the period to complete the removal of the Project and restoration of the Sites afforded by the Site Leases if necessary.

Owner shall give Operator prompt notice of any such claims. Operator shall be entitled to participate in, and, unless in the opinion of counsel for Operator a conflict of interest between the Parties may exist with respect to such claim, assume control of the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to Owner. Owner authorizes Operator to settle or defend such claims in its sole discretion on Owner’s behalf, without imposing any monetary or other obligation or liability on Owner and subject to Owner’s participation rights set forth in this Section 12.1 . Owner shall assist Operator upon reasonable request by Operator and, at Operator’s reasonable expense, in defending any such claim. If Operator does not assume the defense of such claim, or if a conflict precludes Operator from assuming the defense, then Operator shall reimburse Owner on a monthly basis for Owner’s reasonable defense expenses of such claim through separate counsel of Owner’s choice reasonably acceptable to Operator. Even if Operator assumes the defense of such claim, Owner may, at its sole option, participate in the defense, at Owner’s expense, without relieving Operator of any of its obligations hereunder. Should Owner be enjoined from selling or using any Bloom System as a result of such claim, Operator will, at its sole option and discretion, either (i) procure or otherwise obtain for Owner the right to use or sell the Bloom System; (ii) modify the Bloom System so that it becomes non-infringing but still substantially meets the original functional specifications of the Bloom System (in which event, for the avoidance of doubt, all warranties hereunder shall continue to apply unmodified); (iii) upon return of the Bloom System to Operator, as directed by Operator, provide to Owner a non-infringing Bloom System meeting the functional specifications of the Bloom System, or (iv) when and

51



if none of the first three options is reasonably available to Operator, authorize the return of the Bloom System to Operator and, upon receipt thereof, return to Owner all monies paid by Owner to Operator for the cost of the Bloom System and BOF, net of any monies paid by Operator to Owner pursuant to the Portfolio Output Warranty, Efficiency Guaranty and/or Output Guaranty to the extent such Operator payments are allocable to such Bloom System; provided that Operator shall not elect the option in the preceding clause (i) without Owner’s written consent if such election could reasonably be expected to materially decrease Owner’s revenues or materially increase Owner’s operating expenses.
(b)      THIS INDEMNITY SHALL NOT COVER ANY CLAIM:
(i)      for Intellectual Property infringement, conflict, violation or misuse arising from or in connection with any combination made by Owner of any Bloom System with any other product or products or modifications made by or on behalf of Owner to any part of the Bloom System, unless (A) such combination or modification is in accordance with Operator’s specifications for the Bloom System, (B) such combination or modification is made by or on behalf of or at the written request of Operator where Operator has requested the specific combination or modification giving rise to the claim by Owner, or (C) such other product or products would not infringe the Intellectual Property rights of a third party but for the combination with any part of the Bloom System; or

52



warranties, covenants and indemnities under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which Operator is a party); provided that Owner shall have no obligation to indemnify Operator to the extent caused by or arising out of any (i) negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of any Operator Indemnitee or the breach by Operator or any Operator Indemnitee of its covenants, representations and warranties under this Agreement, or (ii) operation of Bloom Systems by a party outside of Owner’s control or direction (including any Operator Personnel) or by a party taking such action despite Owner’s reasonable efforts to prevent the same.
Section 10.3      Indemnification of Owner by Operator . Operator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Owner, its members, managers, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents (each, a “ Owner Indemnitee ”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses (other than Indemnifiable Losses addressed in Section 12.1 ) asserted against or suffered by any Owner Indemnitee arising out of a Third Party Claim, and in any way relating to, resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claims against an Owner Indemnitee to the extent arising out of or in connection with (i) the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of Operator or any Operator Personnel (other than matters addressed separately in Section 12.1 , which shall be governed by the terms thereof), (ii) a breach by Operator of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement, including any breach of a Site Lease or Interconnection Agreement to the extent relating to, resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any act or omission by Operator or any Operator Personnel, (iii) any injury, death, or damage to property caused by a defect in any Bloom System, BOF, or New BOF, or (iv) [*]; provided that, Operator shall have no obligation to indemnify Owner to the extent caused by or arising out of (x) any negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of an Owner Indemnitee, except to the extent caused by any Operator Personnel, (y), the breach by Owner or any Owner Indemnitee of its covenants, representations and warranties under this Agreement or any Site Lease or Interconnection Agreement, except to the extent such breach is caused by Operator’s (or any Operator Personnel’s) breach of this Agreement (including any failure to perform obligations on behalf of Owner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), or (z) the inability of Owner to ultimately utilize any tax benefits.
(a)      Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event that Owner incurs any liability, cost, loss or expense to a Site Landlord (including relating to a breach of a Site Lease) in relation to the repurchase by or return to Operator of any Bloom System under this Agreement or the Existing System Repurchase Agreement, Operator shall indemnify and hold Owner harmless for any such liability, cost, loss or expense incurred by Owner.
(b)      Operator acknowledges and agrees that each Site Landlord is an intended third party beneficiary of Operator’s indemnification obligations in favor of the Owner Indemnitees and that Owner may, with Operator’s reasonable consent following cooperative discussions between the Parties regarding the least disruptive

53



manner of resolving the applicable Site Landlord claim, elect to assign to a Site Landlord the right to seek indemnification directly from Operator in the event that Owner owes to such Site Landlord any indemnification obligations arising out of or in connection with any breach of a Site Lease or arising out of any actions or inactions of Operator under this Agreement that give rise to an indemnification obligation of Operator in favor of any Owner Indemnitee.
Section 10.4      Indemnity Claims Procedure . Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.1 , if any indemnifiable claim is brought against a Party (the “ Indemnified Party ”), then the other Party (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) shall be entitled to participate in, and, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnifying Party a conflict of interest between the Parties may exist with respect to such claim, assume the defense of such claim, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Indemnified Party or if a conflict precludes the Indemnifying Party from assuming the defense, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party on a monthly basis for the Indemnified Party’s reasonable defense expenses through separate counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choice. Even if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Party with acceptable counsel, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole option, may participate in the defense, at its own expense, with counsel of its own choice without relieving the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 10.5      Limitation of Liability; Waiver .
(a)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall a Party be liable to the other Party for an amount in excess of the Maximum Liability unless and to the extent such liability is the result of (A) fraud, willful default, willful misconduct, or gross negligence of a Party or that Party’s employees, agents, subcontractors (except that for the purposes of this provision, Operator and any applicable Operator Personnel and their respective employees, agents and subcontractors will not be deemed to be employees, agents, or Representatives or subcontractors of Owner), (B) a Third Party Claim, (C) a claim of Operator against Owner for Owner’s failure to pay the Service Fees for any Facility (which amounts shall not be included in calculating Owner’s Maximum Liability), (D) a claim with respect to injury to or death of any individual, (E) Operator’s abandonment to the extent constituting a repudiation of this Agreement in respect of all or any part of the Facilities, (F) events or circumstances in respect of which insurance proceeds are available or that would have been available but for a failure by Operator to maintain, or comply with the terms of, insurance that it is required to obtain and maintain under this Agreement, and any amounts so received will not be included when calculating Operator’s Maximum Liability, or (G) a claim of Owner against Operator for Operator’s breach of a Fundamental Representation. Subject always to the Maximum Liability limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, except for damages or amounts specifically provided for in this Agreement or in connection

54



with the indemnification for damages awarded to a third party under a Third Party Claim, damages hereunder are limited to direct damages, and in no event shall a Party be liable to the other Party, and the Parties hereby waive claims, for indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages or loss of profits; provided, however, that the loss of profits language set forth in this Section 12.5(a) shall not be interpreted to exclude from Indemnifiable Losses any losses arising as a result of the loss or recapture of any ITC or recovery for any losses merely because such losses would result in a reduction in the profits of Owner, Diamond State Generation Holdings, LLC, SP Diamond State Class B Holdings, LLC, or any or all of such Persons. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the limitation of liability set forth above as it pertains to Operator limit Operator’s obligations to Owner for any payments owed by Operator to Owner regarding (i) the Repurchase Amount in respect of any Bloom Systems, (ii) Output Guaranty and/or Efficiency Guaranty payments, or (iii) Indemnifiable Losses arising from the loss or recapture of any ITC. Any amounts paid or payable by Operator to Owner as described in the preceding sentence will not be included when calculating Operator’s Maximum Liability.
(b)      Each Party hereby agrees that any claim for damages against the other Party under this ARTICLE XII shall be reduced to the extent of any insurance proceeds actually received by such claiming Party.
(c)      Operator, on behalf of itself and each Operator Indemnitee hereby waives and releases Owner and each Owner Indemnitee of any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or relating to any violation of Environmental Law at a Facility other than any such violation directly resulting from physical actions of Owner’s subcontractors, agents or employees or others under Owner’s control (excluding Operator, any Operator Affiliate or any Operator Personnel) performed at such Facility.
Section 10.6      Liquidated Damages; Estoppel . The Parties acknowledge and agree that it would be impracticable or impossible to determine with precision the amount of damages that would or may be incurred by Owner as a result of the Portfolio’s failure to satisfy any Portfolio Output Warranty. It is therefore understood and agreed by the Parties that: (a) Owner may be damaged by Operator’s failure to satisfy either Portfolio Output Warranty; (b) it would be impractical or impossible to fix the actual damages to Owner resulting therefrom; and (c) any cash payments in respect of a claim under the Output Guaranty and any Repurchase Amounts payable to Owner under Section 4.9 for failure to meet such obligations are in the nature of liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and are fair and reasonable estimate of compensation for the losses that Owner may reasonably be anticipated to incur by such failure. Operator hereby (i) waives any argument that its failure to comply with its obligations set forth in Section 4.9 would not cause Owner irreparable harm, (ii) agrees that it shall be estopped from arguing the invalidity, or otherwise questioning the reasonableness, of the liquidated damages provided for herein, and

55



(iii) agrees that it will consent to the entry of judgment ordering payment of such liquidated damages in any court of competent jurisdiction. Operator and Owner each agree that Owner shall be under no obligation to submit any dispute regarding the payment of any Repurchase Amount when due to the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Section 13.5 , but may rather immediately pursue whatever rights it has available under this Agreement, at law or in equity in accordance with Section 13.6 herein.
Section 10.7      Survival . The Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this ARTICLE XII shall survive any total or partial termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XI.     
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.1      Amendment and Modification . This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by written agreement of Owner and Operator.
Section 11.2      Waiver of Compliance; Consents . Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of any of the Parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the Party granting such waiver, but any such waiver of such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent failure to comply therewith.
Section 11.3      Notices . All notices, provisions of Documentation, reports, certifications, or other documentation, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when received if delivered personally or by facsimile transmission with completed transmission acknowledgment or by electronic mail, or when delivered if mailed by overnight delivery via a nationally recognized courier or registered or certified first class mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid, to the recipient Party at its below address (or at such other address or facsimile number for a Party as shall be specified by like notice; provided, however, that notices of a change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof and that any notice provided by electronic mail will be followed promptly by another form of notice consistent with this Section 13.3 and will be effective when such follow-up notice is deemed effective):

This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including by operation of law), but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (to be granted in the other Party’s sole discretion), provided that (i) Owner may assign its indemnification rights to Site Landlords as set forth in Section 12.3 upon notice to Operator, (ii) Owner may assign all of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement to an Affiliate wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by The Southern Company without the prior consent of Operator (provided that such assignee Affiliate shall assign this Agreement back to Owner at any future date that such assignee is no longer an Affiliate of Owner), (iii) Owner may make such an assignment without Operator’s consent to a successor to substantially all of Owner’s business, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of membership interests, sale of assets or other transaction (other than a transaction with an entity that is a competitor

57



of Operator or its Affiliates, unless consented to under the provisions of Section 13.4(b) ), and (iv) Operator shall be entitled to subcontract any of its obligations under this Agreement without consent (except as set forth in Section 13.14 ) or to assign its obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate under common ownership with Operator, provided further that (X) such assignment or subcontracting shall not excuse Operator from the obligation to competently perform any subcontracted or assigned obligations or any of its other obligations under the Agreement and (Y) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the consent of any Party with respect to any change in control, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Southern Power Company or Operator. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section shall be null and void.
(a)      In the event of an assignment by Owner or other transaction described in clause (iii) of Section 13.4(a) , Owner shall notify Operator of the identity of the proposed assignee or successor in writing, and Operator shall have the right to consent to such assignment or transaction in the event that Operator reasonably believes such proposed assignee to be a competitor of Operator. Operator shall notify Owner of its determination within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of notice from Owner hereunder. If Operator notifies Owner that it has determined that the proposed assignee is a competitor of Operator and that Operator is electing to withhold consent, then Owner shall be prohibited from consummating the proposed transaction unless it has been finally determined that such proposed assignee is not a competitor of Operator.
(b)      Any disputes regarding Operator’s determination of a proposed assignee as a competitor to Operator shall be resolved as follows:
(i)      Owner will promptly provide written notification of the dispute to Operator within five (5) Business Days after notice by Operator that it has determined the proposed assignee to be a competitor and that it is withholding its consent. Thereafter, a meeting shall be held promptly between the Parties, attended by Operator’s Chief Financial Officer and Owner’s Chief Financial Officer or President, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute, provided, that either Party may elect to escalate the dispute to the Parties’ respective Chief Executive Officer at any time.
(ii)      If the Parties are not successful in resolving a dispute within ten (10) Business Days of the meeting called for above, the dispute shall be submitted, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, to a mediator with energy industry experience. The Parties shall cooperate with and provide such documents, information and other assistance as is requested by the mediator to assist in efforts to resolve the dispute. The costs of the mediator shall be borne equally by the Parties.
(iii)      If efforts to mediate are not successful within thirty (30) days of submitting the dispute to the mediator, both Parties will retain all legal remedies available to them.

58



Section 11.5      Dispute Resolution; Service of Process .
(a)      Except as provided in Section 12.6 and Section 13.4(c) , in the event a dispute, controversy or claim arises hereunder, including any claim whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict product liability or otherwise, the aggrieved Party will promptly provide written notification of the dispute to the other Party within ten (10) days after such dispute arises. Thereafter, a meeting shall be held promptly 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. If the Parties are not successful in resolving a dispute within twenty-one (21) days of such meeting, then, subject to the limitations on remedies set forth in Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 and ARTICLE XII , either Party may pursue whatever rights it has available under this Agreement, at law or in equity in accordance with Section 13.6 herein.
(b)      In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each Party hereby consents to service of process made to the addressees set forth in Section 13.3 herein either by overnight delivery by a nationally recognized courier or by certified first class mail, return receipt requested, and hereby acknowledges that service by such means shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against the Party being served.
Section 11.6      Governing Law, Jurisdiction, Venue . THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW OR OTHER PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY SUCH DISPUTE AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT THERETO.
Section 11.7      Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered by facsimile, portable document format or other electronic means (including services such as DocuSign) will be considered original signatures, and each Party shall thereafter promptly deliver original signatures to the other Party.

59



Section 11.8      Interpretation . The article, section and schedule headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the Parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 11.9      Entire Agreement . This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the [*], and the exhibits, schedules, documents, certificates and instruments referred to therein, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that, in agreeing to enter into this Agreement, it has not relied on any representation, warranty, collateral contract or other assurance (except those in this Agreement or any other agreement entered into on the date of this Agreement between the Parties) made by or on behalf of any other Party at any time before the signature of this Agreement. Each Party waives all rights and remedies which, but for the immediately preceding sentence, might otherwise be available to it in respect of any such representation, warranty, collateral contract or other assurance.
Section 11.10      Construction of Agreement . The terms and provisions of this Agreement represent the results of negotiations between Owner and Operator, each of which has been represented by counsel of its own choosing, and neither of which has acted under duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and Owner and Operator hereby waive the application in connection with the interpretation and construction of this Agreement of any rule of law to the effect that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the Party whose attorney prepared the executed draft or any earlier draft of this Agreement.
Section 11.11      Severability . If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.
Section 11.12      Further Assurances . Each Party agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 11.13      Independent Contractor . Operator shall perform the Facility Services and act at all times as an independent contractor, and shall be solely responsible for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures employed for execution and completion of the Facility Services. Nothing in this

60



Agreement shall be interpreted or applied so as to make the relationship of any of the Parties that of partners, joint venturers or anything other than the relationship of customer and independent contractor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including Operator’s obligation to perform on behalf of Owner certain of Owner’s obligations under the Tariff, Interconnection Agreements, and Site Leases, neither Operator nor any of its employees, agents, subcontractors or Representatives shall be considered an employee, agent, subcontractor or Representative of, nor under the control of, Owner under this Agreement. Operator shall at all times maintain supervision, direction and control over its employees, agents, subcontractors and Representatives as is consistent with and necessary to preserve its independent contractor status, and Operator shall be responsible to Owner for the acts and omissions of each such employee or subcontractor.

Operator may appoint one or more unrelated third party(ies), who is appropriately qualified, licensed, and financially responsible, to perform Facility Services throughout the Term. Operator shall submit such appointment of any Major Service Provider to Owner for its prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No such appointment nor the approval thereof by Owner, however, shall relieve Operator of any liability, obligation, or responsibility resulting from a breach of this Agreement. “ Major Service Provider ” means any Service Provider that Operator proposes to engage to perform any Facility Services for which the aggregate compensation to such Service Provider in any calendar year is expected to be greater than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate amount paid to Operator as Service Fees pursuant to this Agreement in the applicable calendar year. The Parties agree that each of the Major Service Providers set forth on Schedule 13.14 hereof are approved for all purposes by Owner as of the Agreement Date. Each subcontractor ( of any tier, Service Providers, Major Service Providers, and Service Technicians) must be a reputable, qualified firm with an established record of successful performance in its trade, and shall obtain and maintain such insurance coverages having such terms as set forth in Annex B to the extent applicable to the work to be performed by such subcontractor. Operator shall not be relieved from its obligation to provide any services hereunder if a subcontractor agrees to provide any or all of such services. No subcontractor is intended to be or will be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor and Owner or obligate Owner to pay or cause the payment of any amounts to any subcontractor, including any payment due to any third party. Operator shall not permit any subcontractor to assert any Lien against any Bloom System, or attach any Lien other than a Permitted Lien. None of Operator’s employees, subcontractors or any such subcontractor’s employees will be or will be considered to be employees of Owner. To the extent that any Site Landlord has the right to request removal of any Operator or subcontractor personnel under a Site Lease, Operator shall cooperate with Owner in complying with the terms and conditions of such Site Lease including by, upon written notification by Owner that the performance, conduct or behavior of any

61



Person employed by Operator or one of its subcontractors is unacceptable to the applicable Site Landlord, promptly stopping such Person from performing any obligations hereunder and/or removing such Person from the applicable Site. Additionally, Owner may bring to Operator’s attention any concerns regarding the performance, conduct or behavior of any Person employed by Operator or one of its subcontractors, which concerns Operator shall consider in good faith and thereafter take such action as Operator deems appropriate under the circumstances. Operator will be fully responsible for the payment of all wages, salaries, benefits and other compensation to its employees and for payment of any Taxes due because of its work hereunder.
Section 11.15      Rights to Deliverables . Owner agrees that Operator shall, except as expressly set forth herein, retain all rights, title and interest, including Intellectual Property rights, in any Training Materials provided to Owner in connection with the services performed hereunder. “ Training Materials ” means any and all materials, documentation, notebooks, forms, diagrams, manuals and other written materials and tangible objects, describing how to operate and maintain the Facilities or perform any of the Installation Services and/or Facility Services (if applicable), including any corrections, improvements and enhancements which are delivered by Operator to Owner, but excluding any Documentation or other data and reports delivered to Owner in respect of any Facilities.
Section 11.16      Limitation on Export . Owner agrees that it will not export, re-export, resell, ship or divert directly or indirectly any Facility or any part thereof in any form or technical data or Software furnished hereunder to any country prohibited by the United States Government or any other Governmental Authority, or for which an export license or other Governmental Approval is required, without first obtaining such license or approval.
Section 11.17      Time of Essence . Time is of the essence with respect to all matters contained in this Agreement.
Section 11.18      No Rights in Third Parties . Except as otherwise specified herein, (a) nothing in this Agreement nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed to create any duty, liability or standard of care to any Person that is not a Party, (b) no Person that is not a Party shall have any rights or interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement or the services to be provided hereunder and (c) this Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of the Parties, and the Parties expressly disclaim any intent to create any rights in any third party as a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement or the services to be provided hereunder.
Section 11.19      No Modification or Alteration of DSGP Operating Agreement . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and for the avoidance of doubt, (a) nothing in this Agreement shall affect or modify the rights or obligations of the members of Owner under the DSGP Operating Agreement, and (b) no Owner Manager shall have authority to take any action or agree to take any action that

62



would violate the DSGP Operating Agreement or that would require the consent or approval of any member or the managing member of Owner under the DSGP Operating Agreement (unless such consent or approval is first obtained).
Section 11.20      Amendment and Restatement of Original MOMA . By their execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Parties hereby amend and restate in its entirety the Original MOMA. From and after the date hereof, (a) the Parties’ mutual understanding of each of the matters set forth herein shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and (b) any reference to the Original MOMA in any other agreement(s) shall be understood to refer to this Agreement.

In the event the Parties submit any unresolved Disputed Items to the Arbiter, each Party will submit a Sale Notice which in the case of each Party may be a Sale Notice that, with respect to the unresolved Disputed Items (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), is different than (but not more favorable to the submitting Party than) the Sale Notice initially submitted to Seller or the Objections Statement delivered to Buyer, as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate, to the Arbiter within 20 days after the date on which such unresolved Disputed Items were submitted to the Arbiter for resolution, it being agreed that the Parties will make their respective submission contemporaneously, and with a copy to the other Party. Seller and Buyer will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Arbiter to resolve all Disputed Items submitted to it as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the date on which the Arbiter receives the Sale Notices prepared by Seller and Buyer. Seller and Buyer will not engage in any ex parte communication with the Arbiter. The Arbiter will resolve such dispute by choosing, in its entirety, the Sale Notice proposed by either Seller or Buyer, and will make no other resolution of such dispute (including by combining elements of the Sale Notices submitted by both Parties). The Sale Notice selected by the Arbiter will be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. Each Party will


10
DM_US 157179328-13.085887.0029


bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Arbiter. The costs and expenses of the Arbiter will be paid by the party whose Sale Notice is not chosen by the Arbiter in its resolution of the dispute.
(c)      To the extent that the resolution of the Payment Date Amount, as determined through negotiation of the Parties or by an Arbiter is greater than the Payment Date Amount that was actually paid to Seller on the applicable Payment Date, then Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such difference within five (5) Business Days of the determination thereof.

On the Transfer Date, legal and beneficial title and all rights to the applicable Sale System(s) shall automatically pass to Buyer. Seller shall, on the Transfer Date, deliver to Buyer a Bill of Sale evidencing the transfer of title to the applicable Sale System(s) to Buyer, but no delay or failure to deliver such Bill of Sale shall affect the transfer of title of the applicable Sale System(s).
Section 2.3      Interim Period .
During the Interim Period, Buyer shall have a license (which is hereby granted by Seller) to enter upon the Sites to engage in the Shutdown of the Sale Systems listed in the applicable Sale Notice; provided that (a) Buyer may not commence the Shutdown of any Existing System until following the payment of the Payment Date Amount payable for such Existing System on the Payment Date, (b) risk of loss shall pass from Seller to Buyer with respect to each Sale System on the Payment Date, and (c) the foregoing shall not affect any of Seller (or Seller Indemnitees’) rights in ARTICLE VIII with respect to Indemnifiable Losses (or otherwise).
Section 2.4      Post Sale Effect .
If any express or implied warranties, indemnities, guaranties, remedies, covenants and other rights which any subcontractor or supplier has made to Seller with respect to any good, service, or other deliverable furnished under this Agreement in respect of an Existing System (each a “ Third Party Warranty ”) would provide any additional rights to Buyer beyond the warranties under ARTICLE IV, then (i) such Third Party Warranty providing additional rights will be for the benefit of and passed through to Buyer to the fullest extent possible, (ii) Seller hereby transfers and assigns to Buyer, effective as of the applicable Transfer Date, all of Seller’s right, title and interest under such Third Party Warranty to exercise such additional rights, and (iii) Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to exercise and enforce all such additional rights in the name of either Buyer or Seller.

11


(c)      For federal income tax purposes, the admission of the Class B Member as a member of the Company on the Effective Date shall be treated as the formation by the Class A Member and the Class B Member of a new partnership, with the Class B Member being deemed to contribute to such new partnership cash in exchange for a partnership interest and the Class A Member being deemed to contribute to such new partnership the Existing Systems, the Existing Project, and all other assets owned by the Company immediately prior to the admission of the Class B Member in exchange for a partnership interest, and as if such new partnership assumed from the Class A Member all liabilities of the Company. The Class A Member agrees to provide to the Company, with a copy to Southern, such information as may be necessary for purposes of determining the tax basis in the assets deemed to be contributed by the Class A Member and of complying with Section 704(c) of the Code.
Section 4.2      Capital Accounts .
(a)      A Capital Account will be established and maintained for each Member in the manner required by the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. If there is more than one Member in a class, then each of the Members in that class will have a separate Capital Account.
(b)      A Member’s Capital Account will be increased by (i) the amount of money the Member contributes to the Company, (ii) the Gross Asset Value of any property the Member contributes to the Company (net of liabilities secured by the property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), and (iii) the income and gain (or items thereof) that the Member is allocated by the Company, including any income and gain exempted from tax and gain described in Section 4.2(c) . A Member’s Capital Account will be decreased by (iv) the amount of money distributed to the Member by the Company, (v) the Gross Asset Value of any property distributed to the Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by the property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), (vi) any expenditures of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code (i.e., expenditures that cannot be capitalized or deducted in computing taxable income) that are allocated to the Member, and (vii) losses and deductions (or items thereof) that are allocated by the Company to the Member, including losses described in Section 4.2(c) , but the Capital Account will not be reduced again under this clause (vii) for expenditures that already reduced it under clause (vi).
(c)      The Gross Asset Values of all the Company assets will be adjusted to equal their respective Gross Fair Market Values upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) if any new or existing Member contributes more than a de minimis amount of money or property, (ii) if more than a de minimis amount of money or other property is distributed by the Company to a Member to redeem its Membership Interest, or (iii) if the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g). Following the occurrence of an event in clauses (i) and (ii) the Managing Member will make an adjustment to Gross Asset Value only if it reasonably determines, after Consultation with the other Members, that the adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members in the Company.

12


In addition, the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset that is distributed to a Member will be adjusted to equal the Gross Fair Market Value of the asset on the applicable Distribution Date. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any item of the Company’s property is adjusted as described in this Section 4.2(c) , then the amount of the adjustment will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the Gross Asset Value) or an item of loss (if the adjustment decreases the Gross Asset Value) from the disposition of such property.
(d)      The initial Capital Account balance and Percentage Interest of each Member is shown in Schedule 4.2(d) . Any subsequent contributions made by the Members will be considered contributions of such amounts to the Company. The Managing Member will update Schedule 4.2(d) from time to time as necessary to reflect accurately the information therein; provided , however , that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the ECCA to the contrary, failure to update Schedule 4.2(d) in accordance with this Section 4.2(d) shall not affect the actual amounts considered Capital Contributions hereunder, all of which shall be deemed made on the date actually contributed. Any such updating will be consistent with how this Article IV requires that the Capital Accounts be maintained. Any reference in this Agreement to Schedule 4.2(d) will be treated as a reference to Schedule 4.2(d) as amended and in effect from time to time.
(e)      If all or a portion of a Membership Interest in the Company is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the transferee will succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the Membership Interest so Transferred.
(f)      The provisions of this Agreement relating to maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations or any successor provisions.

(a)      On and after the date hereof, all items of Existing Systems Income and Losses shall be allocated to the Class A Member, and all items of New Systems Income and Losses shall be allocated to the Class B Member.

17


(b)      No losses or deductions may be allocated to a Member pursuant to this Section 5.3 to the extent the allocation would lead to or increase a deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. Losses or deductions that a Member cannot be allocated by reason of this Section 5.3(b) will be allocated to the other Members.
Section 5.4      Adjustments . The following adjustments will be made in the allocations in Section 5.3 to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b):
(a)      In any Fiscal Year in which there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, income and gain in the amount of the net decrease will be allocated to Members in the ratio required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2. This provision is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b)      In any Fiscal Year in which there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt, income and gain in the amount of the net decrease will be allocated to each Member who was considered to have had a share of such minimum gain at the beginning of the Fiscal Year in the ratio required by Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii). This provision is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c)      In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), gross income will be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, any deficit in the Member’s Adjusted Capital Account as quickly as possible. However, an allocation will be made under this Section 5.4(c) only if and to the extent that the Member would have a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in Sections 5.3 and  5.4 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.4(c) were not in this Agreement.
(d)      In the event that any Member has a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year after all the other allocations in Section 5.3 and  5.4 have been taken into account, then the Member will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain as quickly as possible to eliminate the deficit.
(e)      Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the Members in the same ratio as other income and loss under Section 5.3(a) or Sections 10.2(c) and (d), as applicable.
(f)      Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt

18


to which the Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
(g)      If the Company distributes property to a Member in liquidation of the Membership Interest of the Member and there is an adjustment in the adjusted tax basis of Company property under Section 734(b) of the Code, there will be a corresponding adjustment to the Capital Account of the Member receiving the distribution. If the Company distributes cash to a Member in excess of its outside basis in its Membership Interest, leading to an adjustment in the inside basis of the Company property under Section 734(b) of the Code, solely for purposes of adjusting Capital Accounts of the Members, the adjustment in the inside basis will be treated as gain or loss and be allocated among the Members in the same ratio as other gain or loss for the Fiscal Year in which the adjustment occurs. This provision is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) and (4) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.
(h)      The allocations in this Section 5.4 are required to comply with the Treasury Regulations. To the extent the Company can do so consistently with the Treasury Regulations, the net amount of the allocations under this Article V and Section 10.2 to each Member will be the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if this Agreement did not have this Section 5.4 .
Section 5.5      Tax Allocations .
(a)      All tax items of Company income, gain, deductions and losses for each Fiscal Year will be allocated in the same proportions as the allocations of book items of Company income, gain, deductions and losses were made for such Fiscal Year pursuant to Sections 5.3 and  5.4 , provided, however, that all state and federal tax credits (including, without limitation, the ITC) pertaining to the New Systems shall be allocated to the Class B Member in proportion to their Percentage Interest in New Systems Income and Losses;
(b)      Notwithstanding Section 5.5(a) , if, as a result of contributions of property by a Member to the Company or an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of Company assets pursuant to this Agreement, there exists a variation between the adjusted basis of an item of Company property for United States federal income tax purposes and as determined under the definition of Gross Asset Value, allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction will be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for United States federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value using the traditional method pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b).
(c)      To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset is made pursuant to Section 743(b) of the Code as the result of a purchase of a Membership Interest in the Company, any adjustment to the depreciation, amortization, gain or loss resulting from such adjustment will affect the transferee only and will not affect the Capital Account of the transferor or transferee. In such case, the transferee will be required to agree to provide to the

19


Company (i) information about the allocation of any step-up or step-down in basis to the Company’s assets and (ii) the depreciation or amortization method for any step-up in basis to the Company’s assets.
(d)      Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess non-recourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s share of such liability shall be consistent with the ratio of the Existing Systems Income and Losses over the sum of Existing Systems Income and Losses and New Systems Income and Losses, , as to the Class A Member, and the ratio of the New Systems Income and Losses over the sum of the New Systems Income and Losses and the Existing Systems Income and Losses, as to the Class B Member, then in effect.
Section 5.6      Transfer or Change in Company Interest . If the respective Membership Interests or allocation ratios described in this Article V of the existing Members in the Company change or if a Membership Interest is Transferred in compliance with this Agreement to any other Person, then, for the Fiscal Year in which the change or Transfer occurs, all income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and other tax incidents resulting from the operations of the Company shall be allocated, as between the Members for the Fiscal Year in which the change occurs or between the transferor and transferee, by taking into account their varying interests using the proration method permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1(c)(2)(ii), unless otherwise agreed by all the Members.
Section 5.7      Timing of Allocations . Items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be allocated to the Members pursuant to this Article V as of the last day of each Fiscal Year; provided that such items shall also be allocated at such times as the Gross Asset Values of the Company’s assets are adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2(c) and prior to any distribution under Section 10.2 .
ARTICLE VI

(b)      Beginning on the Effective Date (or, with respect to any additional Member that becomes a Member after the Effective Date, on the first date on which such Person becomes a Member hereunder) and continuing thereafter, the Class B Member agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Class A Indemnified Parties and the Company from and against any and all the Class A Indemnified Costs; provided , however , except with respect to Class A Member Indemnified Costs (x) resulting from fraud or willful misconduct, (y) resulting from failure to pay any amount due to Class A Indemnified Parties under this Agreement or the ECCA or (z) resulting from a Third Party Claim, in no event will the Class B Member’s aggregate obligations (including any prior indemnity payments by the Class B Member under this Agreement or under the ECCA) to indemnify the Class A Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed 100% of the amount of the Class A Member’s initial Capital Account balance shown on Schedule 4.2(d) as of the Effective Date.
(c)      Other than with respect to Indemnified Costs resulting from Third Party Claims, no claim for indemnification may be made with respect to any Indemnified Costs (other than fraud, willful misconduct, or failure to pay any amount due to Indemnified Parties under any Transaction Document) until the aggregate amount of such costs for which indemnification is (or previously has been) sought by the Indemnified Party under all Transaction Documents exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and once such threshold amount of claims has been reached, the relevant Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall have the right to be indemnified only to the extent the amount of Indemnified Costs claimed exceed such threshold amount. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall not be duplicative of one another and shall not allow for duplicative recoveries.

36


Article IX . The failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim, except to the extent the resulting delay materially and adversely prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.
Section 9.13      Third Party Claims . An Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party within 10 days after it has actual knowledge of commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under Section 9.10 . Such notice shall state the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim and the events and the amounts thereof to the extent known. Any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX , except to the extent the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party, so long as it has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party that it is liable for such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.13 , the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such Third Party Claim or such Third Party Claim entails a material risk of criminal penalties or civil fines or non-monetary sanctions being imposed on the Indemnified Party or a risk of materially adversely affecting the Indemnified Party’s business (a “ Third Party Penalty Claim ”), to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof; provided nothing contained herein shall permit the Class A Member to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving a Class A Member or any Affiliate of a Class A Member, or permit a Class B Member to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving any Affiliate of the Class B Member; and; provided , further , the Parties agree that the handling of any Tax contests involving the Company will be governed by Section 7.7 . In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party advises an Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will not contest a claim for indemnification hereunder, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails, within 30  days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such Indemnified Party of its election, to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any such Third Party Claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense) or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such Third Party Claim or the action or claim is a Third Party Penalty Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim or Third Party Claim in each case, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. In any event, unless and until the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent commercially reasonable with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation

37


or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense unless otherwise specified herein; provided that any such participation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense to the extent such participation relates to a Third Party Penalty Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised at all times as to the status of the defense; provided , however , that the failure to keep the Indemnifying Party so informed shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition any such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.13 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, (i) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof which involves any condition other than payment of money by the Indemnified Party, (ii) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof without first demonstrating to Indemnified Party the ability to pay such claim or judgment, or (iii) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof that does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party, a full and complete release from all liability in respect of such claim.
Section 9.14      No Duplication . Any liability for indemnification under this Article IX shall be determined without duplication of recovery. Without limiting the generality of the prior sentence, if a statement of facts, condition or event constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is subject to the indemnification obligation in Section 9.10 , only one recovery of Indemnified Costs per Indemnified Party shall be allowed.
Section 9.15      Sole Remedy . Except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or failure to pay, the enforcement of the claims of the Parties under Article IX of this Agreement are the sole and exclusive remedies that a Party shall have under this Agreement and the ECCA for the recovery of Indemnified Costs; provided , however , that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party hereby reserves all equitable remedies.
Section 9.16      Final Date for Assertion of Indemnity Claims . All claims by an Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX resulting from breaches of representations or warranties in Article III of the ECCA shall be forever barred unless the other Party is notified within the time periods provided in Section 7.7 of the ECCA, provided that if written notice of a claim for indemnification has been given by an Indemnified Party on or prior to the last day of the applicable period, then the obligation of the other Party to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved.

38


Section 9.17      Reasonable Steps to Mitigate . Each Indemnified Party will take, at the Indemnifying Party’s own reasonable cost and expense, all reasonable commercial steps identified by Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties to mitigate all Indemnified Costs (other than any such Indemnified Costs that are Taxes), which steps may include availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity. The Indemnified Parties will provide such evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of the Indemnified Costs as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.
Section 9.18      Net of Insurance Benefits . All Indemnified Costs shall be net of insurance recoveries from insurance policies of the Company (including under the existing title policies) to the extent that any proceeds of such policies, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred by the Company in connection therewith, are distributed by the Company to the Indemnified Party; provided , however , such amount shall account for any costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with obtaining insurance proceeds with respect to any breach or nonperformance hereunder.
Section 9.19      No Consequential Damages . Indemnified Costs shall not include, and an Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party for or in respect of, any punitive, consequential or exemplary damages of any nature including but not limited to damages for lost profits or revenues or the loss or use of such profits or revenue, loss by reason of plant shutdown or inability to operate at rated capacity, increased operating expenses of plant or equipment, increased costs of purchasing or providing equipment, materials, labor, services, costs of replacement, power or capital, debt service fees or penalties, inventory or use charges, damages to reputation, damages for lost opportunities, or claims of the Company’s customers, Members or Affiliates, regardless of whether said claim is based upon contract, warranty, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or other theory of law unless payable by such Indemnified Party as part of a Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the lost profits or revenues (and the loss or use thereof) language set forth in this Section 9.19 shall not be interpreted to exclude from Indemnified Costs any damages, losses, claims, liabilities, demands charges, suits, Taxes, penalties, costs or expenses that would otherwise be included within the definition of Indemnified Costs because they result from a reduction in the profits of the Company.
Section 9.20      Payment of Indemnification Claims . All claims for indemnification shall be paid by Indemnifying Party in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars. Any undisputed portion of an indemnification claim shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties involved. An Indemnifying Party may dispute any portion of an indemnification claim; provided , however , that such disputed indemnification claim shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party together with interest at a market rate upon the final determination of the payable amount of the claim (if any) by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 9.21      Repayment; Subrogation . If the amount of any Indemnified Costs, at any time after the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under any insurance coverage (excluding any proceeds from self-insurance

39


or flow through insurance policies) or under any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other entity, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, must promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party net of any Taxes imposed upon the Indemnified Party in respect of such amounts, but taking into account any Tax benefit the Indemnified Party receives as a result of such repayment. Upon making any indemnity payment (other than any indemnity payment relating to Taxes), the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party, except third parties that provide insurance coverage to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, in respect of the Indemnified Costs to which the indemnity payment relates. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims at the direction of the Indemnifying Party. Nothing in this Section 9.21 will be construed to require any Party to obtain or maintain any insurance coverage.

(a)      the written consent of the Members representing a Class Majority Vote to dissolve and terminate the Company;
(b)      the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act;
(c)      the disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s business and assets;

(a)      The Members hereby appoint the Managing Member to act as the liquidator upon the occurrence of one of the events in Section 10.1 . Upon the occurrence of such an event, the liquidator will proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The liquidator may sell, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best possible price for, any or all Company property, including to Members. In no event, without the approval of Members by a Class Majority Vote, will a sale to a

40


Member be for an amount that is less than fair market value (determined by the Appraisal Method if the Members (by a Class Majority Vote) are unable to agree on the fair market value).
(b)      The liquidator will first pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine) in the order of priority as provided by law.
(c)      All assets of the Company will be treated as if sold.
(d)      Items of income, gain, loss and deduction for the taxable year of liquidation, including any gain or loss upon the deemed sale of a Company asset under Section 10.2(c) hereof, will be allocated among the members as provided under Section 5.3 after giving effect to the allocations in Section 5.4 .

(f)      The distribution of cash and property to a Member under this Section 10.2 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member on its Membership Interests in the Company of all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act. If the assets of the Company remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company are insufficient to return Capital Contributions of each Member, such Member shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member, except as provided in Section 9.10 .
Section 10.3      In-Kind Distributions . There shall be no distribution of assets of the Company in kind without a prior Class Majority Vote.

(b)      Upon the filing of the certificate of cancellation, the existence of the Company shall cease.

Section 11.2      Amendment .

Section 11.4      Waivers and Modifications . Any waiver or consent, express, implied or deemed, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company or any action inconsistent with this Agreement is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company or any other such action. Failure on the part of a Person to insist in any one or more instances upon strict performance of any provisions of this Agreement, to take advantage of any of its rights hereunder, or to declare any other Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by the Person so failing of its rights with respect to that other Person or its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has lapsed. All waivers

42


and consents hereunder shall be in writing duly executed by all Members affected by such waiver or consent and shall be delivered to the other Members in the manner described in Section 11.1 .
Section 11.5      Severability . Except as otherwise provided in the succeeding sentence, every term and provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable, and if any term or provision of this Agreement is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the legality or validity of the remainder of this Agreement. The preceding sentence shall be of no force or effect if the consequence of enforcing the remainder of this Agreement without such illegal or invalid terms or provision would be to cause any Party to lose the benefit of its economic bargain.
Section 11.6      Successors; No Third-Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Members and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall provide any benefit to any third party or entitle any third party to any claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind, it being the intent of the Members that this Agreement shall not be construed as a third-party beneficiary contract. To the full extent permitted by Legal Requirements, no creditor or other third party having dealings with the Company shall have the right to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and may be enforced solely by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the rights of the Members herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Company shall be deemed an asset of the Company for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned by the Company or pledged or encumbered by the Company to secure any debt or other obligation of the Company or of any of the Members.
Section 11.7      Entire Agreement . This Agreement, including the Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits attached hereto or incorporated herein by reference, and the ECCA, and the Class B Guaranty constitute the entire agreement of the Members with respect to the matters covered herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and oral understandings among the parties hereto with respect to such matters.
Section 11.8      Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle that might refer the governance or construction of this Agreement to the law of another jurisdiction.
Section 11.9      Further Assurances . In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be reasonably required or useful to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and as are not inconsistent with the terms hereof.
Section 11.10      Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together will constitute one

43


instrument, binding upon all parties hereto, notwithstanding that all of such parties may not have executed the same counterpart.

In the event a dispute, controversy or claim arises hereunder, the aggrieved party will promptly provide written notification of the dispute to the other party within 10 days after such dispute arises. A meeting will be held promptly 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. If the parties are not successful in resolving a dispute within twenty-one (21) days, the parties will thereafter be entitled to pursue all such remedies as may be available to them; provided that the parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York county, New York or any state of federal court in the State of Delaware with respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Member waives its right to maintain a legal action or proceeding in the courts of the State of Delaware with respect to matters relating to the organization or internal affairs of the Company.
Section 11.12      Confidentiality .
(a)      Each of the Members shall, and shall cause their Affiliates and their respective stockholders, members, subsidiaries and Representatives to, hold confidential all information they may have or obtain concerning the Class B Member, the Class A Member, any other Member, the Company and their respective assets, business, operations or prospects or this Agreement (the “ Confidential Information ”); provided , however , such Confidential Information shall not include information that (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Member or any of its Representatives, (ii) becomes available to such Member or any of its Representatives on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Company or its Representatives, (iii) is required or requested to be disclosed by such Member or any of its Affiliates or their respective stockholders, members, subsidiaries or Representatives as a result of any applicable Legal Requirement or rule or regulation of any stock exchange, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or other regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Member, (iv) is required or requested by the IRS in connection with the Project, including in connection with a request for any private letter ruling, any determination letter or any audit, or (v) is independently developed by Member or any of its Representatives; provided that with respect to clauses (iii) and (iv), if such Confidential Information remains or is reasonably believed to remain generally unavailable to the public, such information will remain Confidential Information in all other respects and for all other purposes. If such party becomes compelled by legal or administrative process to disclose any Confidential Information, such party will provide the other Members with prompt notice so that the other Members may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the non-disclosure provisions of this Section 11.12(a) with respect to the information required to be disclosed. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or such other Members waive compliance with the non-disclosure provisions of this Section 11.12(a) with respect to the information required to be disclosed, the first party will furnish only that portion of such information that it is advised, by opinion of counsel, is

Section 11.14      Specific Performance . The Members agree that irreparable damage will result if this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and the Members agree that any damages available at law for a breach of this Agreement would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, to the full extent permitted by law, the provisions hereof and the obligations of the Members hereunder shall be enforceable in a court of equity, or other tribunal with jurisdiction, by a decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies that a Member may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

(a)      Within one (1) Business Day of the Class A Member’s receipt of the distribution of any amounts constituting the “First Subsequent Deposit” pursuant to Section 6.1(c) , the Class A Member will provide a letter of credit from a major money center bank in favor of the Class B Member in the amount of such distribution, which letter of credit will be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Class B Member. Within one (1) Business Day of the Class A Member’s receipt of the distribution of any amounts constituting the “Second Subsequent Deposit” pursuant to Section 6.1(c) , the Class A Member shall cause the face value of the letter of credit described in the preceding sentence to be increased by the amount of such distribution or, at the Class A Member’s sole discretion, shall provide a second letter of credit from a major money center bank in favor of the Class B Member in such amount. The letter(s) of credit established and maintained under this Section 11.15(a) shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F , with such changes thereto as may be requested by the issuing bank and are reasonably satisfactory to the Class A Member and the Class B Member, and may be referred to as the “ Tariff Damages Collateral ”. The Class A Member shall be under no obligation to replenish the Tariff Damages Collateral in the event of any draws thereon by the Class B Member.
(b)      Up until such time as the Tariff Damages equal $0.00 pursuant to the terms of the ECCA, the letter(s) of credit constituting the Tariff Damages Collateral shall be renewed annually at least 15 days prior to expiration and, if such renewal does not occur, the Class B Indemnitees may draw upon the full amount of such letter(s) of credit and hold such funds in escrow as cash security as the Tariff Damages Collateral, but shall return to the Class A Member such Tariff Damages Collateral which has not been applied on or before June 30, 2025.

46


(c)      Beginning on July 1, 2022, the amount of the Tariff Damages Collateral may be reduced once per month to the amount of the then-applicable Tariff Damages.
(d)      For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Class A Member nor Mehetia (nor any of Mehetia’s direct or indirect owners or any Affiliates of Mehetia or such owners) shall have any liability to the Class B Indemnitees for any Tariff Damages (or for any failure to renew the letter(s) of credit constituting the Tariff Damages Collateral) except that the Class B Indemnitees may draw on the then remaining Tariff Damages Collateral.
Section 11.16      Assumed Tax Benefits Collateral . Within one (1) Business Day of the Class A Member’s receipt of any amounts constituting the “Third Subsequent Deposit” pursuant to Section 6.1(c) , the Class A Member will provide a letter of credit from a major money center bank in favor of the Class B Member in the amount of such distribution, which letter of credit will be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, with such changes thereto as may be requested by the issuing bank and are reasonably satisfactory to the Class A Member and the Class B Member (the “ Assumed Tax Benefits Collateral ”). The letter of credit will expire no sooner than September 30, 2020. The Class A Member shall be under no obligation to replenish the Assumed Tax Benefits Collateral in the event of any draws thereon by the Class B Member. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Class A Member nor Mehetia (nor any of Mehetia’s direct or indirect owners or any Affiliates of Mehetia or such owners) shall have any liability to the Class B Indemnitees for any reduction of the Assumed Tax Benefits (or for any failure to renew the letter(s) of credit constituting the Assumed Tax Benefits Collateral) except that the Class B Indemnitees may draw on the then remaining Assumed Tax Benefits Collateral.
Section 11.17      Survival . All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations made or undertaken by a Party in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document are material, have been relied upon by the other Parties and, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.17 or elsewhere in this Agreement (or, with respect to any representations, warranties, covenants and obligations made or undertaken in any other Transaction Document, in such Transaction Document), shall continue in full force and effect, together with the associated rights of indemnification, indefinitely; provided that all indemnities and reimbursement obligations made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive dissolution and liquidation of the Company until expiration of the longest applicable statute of limitations (including extensions and waivers) with respect to the matter for which a Person would be entitled to be indemnified or reimbursed, as the case may be.
Section 11.18      Effective Date . This Agreement shall have no force or effect unless and until the transactions contemplated by the ECCA to take place on the Closing Date occur, at which time this Agreement shall automatically and without any further action, other than the execution hereof, become effective simultaneously with the other actions occurring on the Closing Date.
Section 11.19      Recourse Only to Member . The sole recourse of the Company for performance of the obligations of any Member hereunder shall be against such Member and its

47


assets and not against any assets or property of any present or future stockholder, partner, member, officer, employee, servant, executive, director, agent, authorized representative or Affiliate of such Member; provided however the foregoing shall not prohibit recourse, directly or indirectly, against Southern under the Class B Guaranty.

(4)      In the event that Seller declines to purchase such Facility or Facilities, or fails to respond within the applicable period, or if Buyer and Seller fail to agree on and execute a purchase and sale agreement within sixty (60) calendar days after the date of Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s Offer Notice, Seller shall be deemed to have waived its rights to purchase such Facility or Facilities pursuant to this Section 3.6(2) , and Buyer shall have the right thereafter, without further notice to Seller, to effect any such Facility Transfer; provided, if the purchase price of any Facility Transfer offered to any such third-party decreases by more than ten (10%) percent of the original purchase price or there are material changes in material terms favorable to a potential independent buyer that a reasonable independent buyer would reasonably believe to be materially beneficial after Seller has waived its rights to purchase such Facility or Facilities pursuant to this Section 3.6 , then Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of the change and shall give Seller another option to purchase the Facility or Facilities pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of this Section 3.6 , as applicable, at the reduced purchase price or pursuant to such changed terms. Any Facility Transfer must be effected in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable ESA or ESAs.

(8)      Maximum Export Covenants and Net Metering .

56
732259453 19618353

The deduction of any Set-Off Amount shall operate for all purposes as a complete discharge (to the extent of such deduction) of the obligation of the applicable Party to pay the amount from which such deduction was withheld and made. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure to exercise, such right of setoff will constitute an election of remedies or limit the applicable Party in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.
(7)      If Seller is prevented from performing the Facility Services for a given Facility, or if Buyer is prevented from performing its obligations hereunder, due to a Force Majeure Event under Section 12.6(1) or a Change in Law under Section 12.9 , in either case for a period in excess of thirty days in the aggregate (whether or not continuous) over a six month period, then, on and after the thirty-first day of such Force Majeure Event or Change in Law, as the case may be, Buyer shall not be required to pay the Service Fees for such Facility until the date Seller may resume performing the Facility Services for such Facility.

If Buyer (i) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (ii) files a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other Legal Requirements of the United States of America or any State, district or territory thereof; (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iv) consents to the appointment of a receiver of the whole or any substantial part of its assets; (v) has a petition in bankruptcy filed against it, and such petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof; or if (vi) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order, judgment, or decree appointing a receiver of the whole or any substantial part of Buyer’s assets, and such order, judgment or decree is not vacated or set aside or stayed within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof; or (vii) under the provisions of any other law for the relief or aid of debtors, any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial part of Buyer’s assets and such custody or control is not terminated or stayed within sixty (60) days from the date of assumption of such custody or control.
Section 12.3      Buyer’s Remedies upon Occurrence of a Seller Default . If a Seller Default has occurred under Section 12.1(4) , Section 12.1(6) or Section 12.1(7) , Buyer may terminate this Agreement with respect to all Facilities by written notice, and assert all rights and remedies available to Buyer under Legal Requirements subject to the limitations of liability set forth in Section 13.6 . If a Seller Default has occurred with respect to a Facility under Section 12.1(1) , Section 12.1(2) , Section 12.1(3) , or Section 12.1(5) , Buyer may terminate this Agreement only with respect to such Facility for which such Seller Default has occurred by written notice, and assert all rights and remedies available to Buyer under Legal Requirements subject to the limitations of liability set forth in Section 13.6 . If a Seller Default has occurred under Section 12.1(1) , Section 12.1(2) , Section 12.1(3) , Section 12.1(5) , Section 12.1(6) or Section 12.1(7) , Buyer may require Seller and, if so required, Seller shall repurchase the relevant Facility or Facilities in respect of which this Agreement is being terminated from Buyer on an AS IS basis by paying the Repurchase Value of

94
732259453 19618353



any such Facility, calculated as of the date of such payment, in which case Seller shall take title to such Facility upon paying the Repurchase Value, and such Facility shall no longer constitute a portion of the Portfolio or the Scheduled Portfolio ( provided , that if such Seller Default has occurred under Section 12.1(5) , Seller shall not be obligated to make a payment to Buyer in excess of the Maximum Liability except as otherwise set forth in Section 13.6 ). If a Facility will be removed pursuant to this Section 12.3 , Seller shall at its sole cost and expense remove the Facility in accordance with Section 4.10(1) .
Section 12.4      Seller’s Remedies Upon Occurrence of a Buyer Default . If a Buyer Default has occurred Seller may terminate this Agreement only with respect to those Facilities for which a Buyer Default has occurred and remains uncured by written notice, and assert all rights and remedies available to Seller under Legal Requirements with respect to those Facilities for which a Buyer Default has occurred, subject to the limitations of liability set forth in Section 13.6 , including without limitation retaining any prior payments with respect to such Facilities and, to the extent Seller has title to and possession of such Facilities, selling such Facilities to another buyer.
Section 12.5      Preservation of Rights . Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations as between the Parties which may have accrued prior to such termination or which expressly or by implication are intended to survive termination whether resulting from the event giving rise to termination or otherwise, including, without limitation, ARTICLE X , ARTICLE XI (including the IP License and right to retain copies of the documentation and other embodiments of Intellectual Property in Section 11.1 ), and ARTICLE XIII .
Section 12.6      Force Majeure .
(1)      If either Party is rendered wholly or partially unable to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a Force Majeure Event, then except as otherwise explicitly specified in this Agreement, that Party (the “ Claiming Party ”) will be excused from whatever performance is prevented by the Force Majeure Event to the extent so prevented; provided , however , that (a) the Claiming Party, promptly upon (and in no event later than three (3) days after) the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event, gives the other Party (the “ Affected Party ”) notice in writing describing the particulars of the occurrence, including the anticipated duration of the Force Majeure Event; (b) the suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required by the Force Majeure Event; (c) no liability of either Party for an event that arose before the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event shall be excused as a result of the Force Majeure Event; (d) the Claiming Party shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to correct or cure (and at all times minimize) the event or condition excusing performance and resume performance of all its obligations; and (e) when the Claiming Party is able to resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Claiming Party shall promptly give the Affected Party notice in writing to that effect and shall promptly resume performance. Except as set forth in Section 4.3(7) , an event of Force Majeure shall not excuse the obligation to pay money under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller (or any of its Service Providers) be required to risk the lives or health of any human Persons during the pendency of a Force Majeure Event, it being understood that Seller or its Service

95
732259453 19618353



Providers, as applicable, shall return to the affected Site as soon as reasonably safe, as is required by clauses (b), (d) and (e) of this Section 12.6 .
(2)      If, as a result of a Force Majeure Event, a Facility in the Portfolio, in whole or in part, is damaged or destroyed such that the repair of such Facility or part thereof is likely to exceed $[***] (a “ Casualty ”), Seller shall give prompt notice of such damage to Buyer and shall promptly provide an estimate of the costs required to either restore or remove such Facility. After receiving such notice and estimate, Buyer may either (a) instruct Seller to repair, rebuild or replace (as applicable) such Facility or part thereof to effect the restoration of such Facility as nearly as possible to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations and upgrades as may be reasonably requested and approved by Buyer (a “ Restoration ”), or (b) upon Buyer’s determination that the Facility or part thereof cannot be repaired, rebuilt or replaced to Buyer’s satisfaction, terminate this Agreement with respect such Facility subject to such Casualty, after which Seller shall remove such Facility in accordance with Section 4.10(2) (a “ Casualty Removal ”). Upon a termination of this Agreement with respect to a Casualty Removal, Buyer and Seller shall be fully released of any and all obligations hereunder with respect to the Facility subject to the Casualty, except for those provisions which expressly survive a termination.
(3)      Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs reasonably incurred by Seller of Restoration or Casualty Removal, whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. At Buyer’s request, Seller shall, using commercially reasonable efforts and in good faith, participate in any discussions with, and facilitate Buyer’s exchange of information with, any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty, Restoration or Casualty Removal. For the avoidance of doubt, any insurance proceeds in respect of a Casualty, Restoration or Casualty Removal shall be entirely for the benefit of Buyer, except to the extent Buyer has failed to reimburse Seller as set forth in the first sentence of this  Section 12.6(3) , and other than to such extent, any such insurance proceeds received by Seller shall be held in trust for the benefit of Buyer and promptly remitted to Buyer. Any Restoration shall be conducted in compliance with Sections 4.2(3) and 4.10(2) .
Section 12.7      Termination of ESAs Following Placed in Service Date; ESA Customer Purchase Options .
(1)      In the event that an ESA is terminated (or if an ESA Customer exercises its purchase option pursuant to its ESA) with respect to a Facility on or following the date such Facility achieves any of the events described in clauses (2) through (4) of the definition of "Placed in Service", then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.1(2) , Buyer may terminate this Agreement with respect to that Facility by written notice, such termination to be effective as of the final day of the calendar month in which such notice is delivered. Following the effectiveness of such termination, Buyer shall owe Seller no further Services Fees in respect of such Facility. For clarity, nothing in this Section 12.7(1) shall limit in any manner any other rights or remedies that may be available to Buyer or Seller under this Agreement. If an ESA Customer exercises its purchase option pursuant to its ESA, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the consummation of such purchase and related matters, including by executing and delivering reasonable documentation in a timely manner at Buyer’s request. If Buyer owns a Facility or any

96
732259453 19618353



Component thereof following termination of the applicable ESA (or, if prior to termination of an ESA, it is reasonably likely that the applicable ESA Customer will not agree to renew, or otherwise cause to be renewed, the initial term or any renewal term of such ESA), Seller shall, at Buyer’s request, use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the applicable Facility or Component thereof pursuant to Section 4.10(3) .
(2)      In the event that the termination of an ESA with respect to any Facility pursuant to Section 12.7(1) results from a Seller Default as described in Section 12.1(1) , Section 12.1(2) , Section 12.1(3) , Section 12.1(5) , Section 12.1(6) or Section 12.1(7) , Seller shall, at Buyer’s option, repurchase and remove the relevant Facilities in accordance with Section 4.10(1) and (2) . Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement, any payment by the ESA Customer under the [***] ESA of any termination value or reimbursement of costs under such ESA, under any circumstances, shall be subject in all respects to the last sentence of Section 11.2(b)(i) of the [***] ESA.
(3)      In the event of a Compliance Law Violation (as defined in the Equinix ESA), the Parties will cooperate in good faith to cure such Compliance Law Violation in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1(h)(i) of the Equinix ESA including by ensuring that any individual(s), Seller Affiliate, Service Provider and/or Seller or Seller Affiliate agent, representative or subcontractor at any tier directly involved in the Compliance Law Violation are no longer in any way performing under the Equinix ESA. In the event that, notwithstanding such efforts, such Compliance Law Violation either (i) can only be cured by the termination of Seller’s performance in connection with the Equinix ESA, or (ii) results in the termination of the Equinix ESA, then, in either case, Buyer may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Facilities installed pursuant to the Equinix ESA and affected by such termination of the Equinix ESA, and Buyer shall owe Seller no further Service Fees in respect of such Facility(ies) for any period from and after the date of termination. For clarity, nothing in this Section 12.7(3) shall limit in any manner any other remedies that may be available to Buyer under this Agreement.
Section 12.8      Termination of ESAs Prior to Placed in Service Date . If an ESA is terminated with respect to one or more Facilities prior to the date such Facility achieves any of the events described in clauses (2) through (4) of the definition of “Placed in Service”, then Seller shall, at Buyer’s sole discretion and as part of the Installation Service (without in any way limiting Buyer’s rights and remedies under, and subject to, Section 2.4(7), Section 2.9 and Section 3.4(1)(xii)(B) ), (i) remove such Facility in accordance with Section 4.10(2) and (ii) relocate and install such Bloom System and applicable Ancillary Equipment and BOF at a substitute Site. The costs of such removal and relocation shall be at Seller’s sole cost and expense; provided, however to the extent the applicable ESA Customer reimburses Buyer for (or otherwise pays Buyer in respect of) such costs pursuant to the terms of the applicable ESA, then Buyer shall remit such payments to Seller to the extent of Seller’s bearing costs under this sentence.
Section 12.9      Change in Law . If, due to any change in Legal Requirements subsequent to the date of this Agreement (a “ Change in Law ”), performance of any provision of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall become impracticable, impossible or unduly

97
732259453 19618353



burdensome, the Parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means, including renegotiation of economics of the Agreement, to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that was contemplated by this Agreement; provided , however , that (a) the Party claiming impairment of performance under this Section 12.9 (the “ Claiming Party ”) shall, promptly upon (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after) the occurrence of such Change in Law, give the other Party (the “ Affected Party ”) notice in writing describing the particulars of the occurrence, including the anticipated duration of the Change in Law; (b) the suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required by the Change in Law; (c) no liability of either Party for an event that arose before the occurrence of the Change in Law shall be excused as a result of the Change in Law; (d) the Claiming Party shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to correct or cure (and at all times minimize) the effect of Change in Law and resume performance of all its obligations; and (e) when the Claiming Party is able to resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Claiming Party shall promptly give the Affected Party notice in writing to that effect and shall promptly resume performance. Except as set forth in Section 4.3(7) , a Change in Law shall not excuse the obligation to pay money under this Agreement. If an event or circumstance gives rise to a Change in Law as defined herein under this Agreement, but such event or circumstance does not also constitute a ‘Change in Law’ (or similar term) as defined under the applicable ESA or Site License (depending on which Facilities are affected), then for the purposes of any rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement that relate to corresponding rights or obligations under such ESA or Site License such event or circumstance will not constitute a Change in Law under this Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII     
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 13.1      IP Indemnity .
(1)      Except as expressly limited below, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer, its direct and indirect members, and their Affiliates and their respective managers, officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all Third Party Claims and Indemnifiable Losses (including in connection with obtaining any Intellectual Property necessary for continuation of completion, operation and maintenance of Facilities purchased by Buyer from Seller), arising from or in connection with any alleged infringement, misappropriation, conflict, violation or misuse of any patents, copyrights, trade secrets or other third party Intellectual Property rights by Facilities or Components thereof purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (or the sale, use, operation or maintenance thereof, provided that such sale, use, operation or maintenance is as contemplated by this Agreement or the Long-Term Agreement) or the exercise of the IP License or the Software License granted pursuant to Section 11.1 and Section 11.2 hereunder, or the license granted under the Long-Term Agreement, or the exercise by Kaiser of any of its rights and interests with respect to Kaiser Purchaser Equipment, or any exercise by an ESA Customer of any of its rights and interests with respect to a Non-Scheduled Facility. Buyer shall give Seller prompt notice of any such claims ( provided , that the failure to so notify shall not relieve Seller’s obligations under this Section 13.1 except to the extent Seller is materially prejudiced thereby). Seller shall be entitled to participate in, and, unless in the opinion of counsel for Seller a conflict of interest between the Parties may

98
732259453 19618353



exist with respect to such claim, assume control of the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to Buyer. Seller shall ensure that the terms and conditions set forth in Section 23.2 of the Kaiser ESA, as applicable to any Facilities thereunder, are satisfied and that there does not arise at any time an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Kaiser ESA) pursuant to Section 16.1(f) of the Kaiser ESA (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall promptly and at its own expense procure, provide and maintain any performance assurance, credit support and other assurance requested by the counterparty to such Kaiser ESA), and Seller shall comply in all respects with any similar obligations in any transaction confirmations under the Kaiser ESA entered into after the Agreement Date. Buyer authorizes Seller to settle or defend such claims in its sole discretion on Buyer’s behalf, without imposing any monetary or other obligation, restriction, admission or liability on Buyer and subject to Buyer’s participation rights set forth in this Section 13.1 . Buyer shall assist Seller upon reasonable request by Seller and, at Seller’s reasonable expense, in defending any such claim. If Seller does not assume the defense of such claim, or if a conflict precludes Seller from assuming the defense, then Seller shall reimburse Buyer on a monthly basis for Buyer’s reasonable and documented defense expenses of such claim through separate counsel of Buyer’s choice reasonably acceptable to Seller. If Seller assumes the defense of such claim, Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed as to the status of such defense (including prompt updates with respect to any material developments). Should Buyer be enjoined from selling or using any Facility or Component thereof as a result of such claim, Seller will, at its sole option and discretion (and at its own expense), either (i) procure or otherwise obtain for Buyer the right to use or sell the Facility or Component thereof; (ii) modify the Facility or Component thereof so that it becomes non-infringing but still substantially meets the original functional specifications of the Facility or Component thereof (in which event, for the avoidance of doubt, all warranties hereunder shall continue to apply unmodified); (iii) upon return of the Facility or Component thereof to Seller, as directed by Seller, provide to Buyer a non-infringing Facility or Component thereof meeting the functional specifications of Facility or Component thereof, or (iv) when and if none of the first three options is reasonably available to Seller, authorize the return of the Facility to Seller and, upon receipt thereof, return to Buyer all monies paid by Buyer to Seller for the Repurchase Value, net of any monies paid by Seller to Buyer for any performance guaranties or other warranty claims; provided that Seller shall not elect the options in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) without Buyer’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) if such election could reasonably be expected to materially decrease Buyer’s revenues or materially increase Buyer’s operating expenses.
(2)      THIS INDEMNITY SHALL NOT COVER ANY CLAIM:
(i)      for Intellectual Property infringement, conflict, violation, misappropriation, or misuse resulting from any combination made by Buyer of any Bloom System with any other product or products (except any other Component of the Facility) or modifications made by or on behalf of Buyer to any part of the Bloom System, unless (A) such combination or modification is in accordance with Seller’s specifications for the Bloom System, (B) such combination or modification is made by or on behalf of or at the written request of Seller where Seller has requested the combination or modification giving rise to the claim by Buyer, (C) such combination is reasonably necessary for the use of the Facility as permitted in this

99
732259453 19618353



Agreement or (D) such other product or products would not infringe the Intellectual Property rights of a third party but for the combination with any part of the Bloom System; or
(ii)      for infringement of any Intellectual Property rights where such infringement results from a modification to the Bloom System which was requested in writing by Buyer on a custom basis; provided , that before performing or agreeing to perform any such modification, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing, with specific reference to this Section 13.1(2)(ii) , that such modification if performed will result in claims being excluded from indemnification pursuant to this Section 13.1(2) and the extent of such exclusions; and provided , further , that none of the following shall constitute a modification to the Bloom System which was or is requested by Buyer on a custom basis: (a) the integration of the Battery Solution or other Ancillary Equipment or BOF into any Facility, (b) specifications, plans, designs or drawings comprising a part of, or delivered pursuant to, any ESA or Site License, (c) performance of an ESA or Site License by the parties thereto pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof or (d) any change or amendment to any of the agreements, documents or information set forth in the foregoing clauses (b) or (c) to the extent approved in writing by Seller.
Section 13.2      General Indemnification of Seller by Buyer . Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, Affiliates and agents (each, a “ Seller Indemnitee ”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses (other than Indemnifiable Losses addressed in Section 13.1 ) asserted against or suffered by any Seller Indemnitee arising out of a Third Party Claim (other than a claim for such Seller Indemnitee’s breach of any contract to which such Seller Indemnitee is a party) to the extent arising out of or in connection with (a) the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of Buyer or its subcontractors, agents or employees or others under Buyer’s control (excluding Seller and any Seller Affiliate) after the Agreement Date, or (b) except in accordance with this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, operation of a Facility or any part thereof by any party other than Seller or an Affiliate or subcontractor of Seller after such Facility has been purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (but subject to Seller’s warranties, covenants and indemnities under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which Seller is a party); provided that Buyer shall have no obligation to indemnify Seller to the extent caused by or arising out of (i) any gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of any Seller Indemnitee or the breach by Seller or any Seller Indemnitee of its covenants, representations and warranties under this Agreement or in any Payment Certificate or (ii) any operation of any Facility (or any part thereof) by a Person outside of Buyer’s control or direction or by a Person taking such action despite Buyer’s reasonable efforts to prevent the same.
Section 13.3      General Indemnification of Buyer by Seller .
(1)      Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its direct and indirect members, managers, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents (each, a “ Buyer Indemnitee ”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses (other than, but without limiting, Indemnifiable Losses addressed in Section 3.4(4) , Section 3.7 , Section 5.7 , Section 5.8 , Section 13.1 , or Section 13.4 ) asserted against or suffered by any Buyer Indemnitee arising out of (1) any

100
732259453 19618353



Third Party Claim to the extent arising out of or in connection with the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of Seller, its Service Providers, its agents, its employees or others under Seller’s control arising out of or in connection with a breach, violation or default of the obligations of the foregoing Persons under the Transaction Documents (other than matters addressed separately in Section 3.4(4) , Section 3.7 , Section 5.3 , Section 5.7 , Section 5.8 , Section 13.1 , this Section 13.3 or Section 13.4 , which shall be governed by the terms thereof), (2) the breach of an obligation or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made, in each case, (i) by Seller under any Transaction Document (it being the intention of Buyer and Seller that Seller’s obligations in this Section 13.3 shall include any Indemnifiable Losses asserted against or suffered by Buyer Parent under the MIPA, and Buyer may make claims hereunder on behalf of Buyer Parent) or (ii) by Buyer or any Affiliate of Seller prior to the Agreement Date under a Site License or ESA, (3) any injury, death, or damage to property caused by a defect in a Facility, (4)  any breach under a Kaiser ESA arising in connection with the Kaiser Purchaser Equipment or any Non Scheduled Facility (until such Non Scheduled Facility is approved by Buyer to be part of the Scheduled Portfolio in accordance with Section 2.9) or (5) Seller Attributes; provided that, Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer to the extent caused by or arising out of any gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of a Buyer Indemnitee, the breach by Buyer or any Buyer Indemnitee of its covenants, representations and warranties under this Agreement or the inability of Buyer to ultimately utilize any tax benefits.
(2)      Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event that Buyer incurs any liability, cost, loss or expense to an ESA Customer or licensor under a Site License (including relating to a breach of an ESA or Site License) arising out of Seller’s breach of its obligations herein, Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless for any such liability, cost, loss or expense incurred by Buyer.
Section 13.4      Tax Indemnification of Buyer by Seller .
(1)      Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnitee from and against any Tax Loss arising out of (i) the inaccuracy of any representation made by Seller in Section 8.1(6) or Section 8.1(10) as of the date such representation was made, (ii) the breach of or failure to perform any obligation, covenant or obligation of Seller under this Agreement, including the last sentence of Section 3.9 , Section 4.2(3) (and any other Sections that require compliance with the requirements of Section 4.2(3) ) and Section 6.1 , or (iii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of Seller in performing its obligations under this Agreement; provided , Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer to the extent such inaccuracy or breach was caused solely by Buyer or Buyer’s inability to ultimately utilize any such tax benefits. The parties agree to treat any indemnity under this Section 13.4(1) as a return of the purchase price. If, pursuant to a final determination, it is determined that payment of an indemnity under this Section 13.4(1) is taxable, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer the After Tax Basis gross-up amount. To the extent any such payment is includable as income of a Buyer Indemnitee as determined by agreement of the Parties or, if there is no agreement, by an opinion of a nationally-recognized Tax counsel selected by the Buyer Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Seller that such amount “should” be included as income of the Buyer Indemnitee, the amount of the payment shall be increased by the After Tax Basis gross-up amount upon the receipt or accrual of the payment.

101
732259453 19618353



Section 13.5      Indemnity Claims Procedure .
(1)      Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.1 , if any indemnifiable Third Party Claim is brought against a Party (the “ Indemnified Party ”) under Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 , then the other Party (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) shall be entitled to participate in, and, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnifying Party a conflict of interest between the Parties may exist with respect to such claim, assume the sole and exclusive control over the defense of such claim, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Indemnified Party, or if a conflict precludes the Indemnifying Party from assuming the defense, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party on a monthly basis for the Indemnified Party’s reasonable and documented defense expenses through separate counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choice. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Party with acceptable counsel, the Indemnified Party, at its sole option, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s exclusive control of the defense, may participate in the defense, at its own expense, with counsel of its own choice without relieving the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations hereunder. The Indemnifying Party may settle the defense without the consent of the Indemnified Party, so long as such defense only includes the payment of money and such settlement does not admit to any fault or actions of the Indemnified Party or infringe on the rights of the Indemnified Party hereunder.
(2)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE XIII , it is express intention of the Parties that the indemnifications provided for in this ARTICLE XIII shall apply to direct demands, claims, actions, investigations, arbitrations or other proceedings (whether at law or in equity) between the Parties for a breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, regardless of whether a Third Party Claim is involved.
(3)      For Tax reporting purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by the Code, each party will agree to treat all amounts paid pursuant to this Section 13.5 as a non-taxable reimbursement of purchase price. If, pursuant to a final determination, it is determined that payment of an indemnity under this Section 13.5 is taxable, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer the After-Tax Basis gross-up amount. To the extent any such payment is includable as income of Buyer as determined by the agreement of the Parties or, if there is no agreement, by an opinion of a nationally-recognized Tax counsel selected by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Seller that such amount “should” be included in income of Buyer, the amount of such payment shall be increased by the After-Tax Basis gross-up amount upon the receipt or accrual of the payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE XIII , if a Third Party Claim is brought against Buyer by an ESA Customer and the indemnification procedure set forth or required in the applicable ESA mandates any specific dates by which defenses must be assumed or other actions taken, or reserves consent or other rights to such ESA Customer, then Seller as the Indemnifying Party shall perform its obligations under this ARTICLE XIII in accordance with, at a minimum, such indemnification procedures in such ESA.
(4)      In determining the amount of any liability incurred by a Party under this Article XIII, if any of the Indemnifiable Losses are deemed to be federally taxable income, any calculation of Indemnifiable Losses shall be grossed up on an After-Tax Basis.

102
732259453 19618353



Section 13.6      Limitation of Liability .
(1)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall a Party be liable to the other Party for an amount in excess of the Maximum Liability; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to liability arising out of (A) the fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence of a Party or that Party’s employees, agents, subcontractors (except that for the purposes of this provision, Seller and its employees, agents and subcontractors will not be deemed to be employees, agents or subcontractors of Buyer), (B) a Third Party Claim, (C) any Indemnifiable Loss for which an Indemnified Party received insurance proceeds under Section 13.9, (D) Kaiser Purchaser Equipment, (E) the Side Letter Agreement, (F) Seller Attributes, (G) liability for any ESA Warranty Reimbursement Payments that Seller has incurred pursuant to Section 5.8 or (H) any Tax Loss; and in any of the foregoing clauses (A) through (H), any amounts so received will not be included when calculating Seller’s Maximum Liability.
(2)      Except for liquidated damages specifically provided for in this Agreement, and amounts due in respect of any Third Party Claim, damages hereunder are limited to direct damages, and in no event shall a Party be liable to the other Party, and the Parties hereby waive claims for indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages or loss of profits; provided, however , the following shall not be characterized as indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages or loss of profits : (i) Tax Loss, (ii) lost profits that were the reasonably foreseeable consequence of an indemnifiable breach or inaccuracy at the time of such breach or inaccuracy, (iii) payments of the Repurchase Value or any Aggregate Purchase Price refunds or other payments required under any of Section 2.4(7) , Section 2.6(4) or Section 3.4(1)(xii)(B) , (iv) Performance Guaranty payments, (v)  Indemnifiable Losses in respect of Seller Attributes, (vi) Indemnifiable Losses in respect of Kaiser Purchaser Equipment, (vii) Indemnifiable Losses in respect of the Side Letter Agreement or (viii) liability for any ESA Warranty Reimbursement Payments that Seller has incurred pursuant to Section 5.8 .
(3)      Subject to Section 3.2(3) , each Party hereby waives any claim under this ARTICLE XIII irrespective of the legal theory under which it is brought to the extent such claim is covered by the insurance of the claiming Party.
Section 13.7      Liquidated Damages; Estoppel . The Parties acknowledge and agree that it would be impracticable or impossible to determine with precision the amount of damages that would or may be incurred by Buyer as a result of (x) the Portfolio’s failure to satisfy any Capacity Warranty or (y) the existence of any of the circumstances described in this Agreement that gives rise to an obligation of Seller to pay to Buyer the Repurchase Value. It is therefore understood and agreed by the Parties that: (a) Buyer may be damaged by Seller’s failure to satisfy either Capacity Warranty or to avoid such circumstances from occurring; (b) it would be impractical or impossible to fix the actual damages to Buyer resulting therefrom; and (c) any cash payments in respect of a claim under the Performance Guaranty payable to Buyer under Section 5.7 or any Repurchase Value for failure to meet such obligations are in the nature of liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and are fair and reasonable estimate of compensation for the losses that Buyer may reasonably be anticipated to incur by any such failure. Seller hereby (i) waives any argument that its failure to comply with such

103
732259453 19618353



obligations would not cause Buyer irreparable harm, (ii) agrees that it shall be estopped from arguing the invalidity, or otherwise questioning the reasonableness, of the liquidated damages provided for herein, and (iii) agrees that it will consent to the entry of judgment ordering payment of such liquidated damages in any court of competent jurisdiction. Seller and Buyer each agree that Buyer shall be under no obligation to submit any dispute regarding the payment of any Repurchase Value when due to the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Section 14.5 , but may rather immediately pursue whatever rights it has available under this Agreement, at law or in equity in accordance with Section 14.6 herein.
Section 13.8      Duplication of Recovery . Any Indemnifiable Loss for which any Indemnified Party hereto is entitled to indemnification under this Article XIII shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Indemnifiable Loss constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement; provided, however, that the right to indemnification shall not be limited to the extent that the amount of Indemnifiable Losses for such state of facts has not previously been recovered.
Section 13.9      Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds . The Parties intend that any liability subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article XIII will be net of insurance proceeds actually received, realized or recovered by an Indemnified Party. Accordingly, the Indemnifiable Loss which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to an Indemnified Party will be reduced or offset by any insurance proceeds actually received, realized or recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in reduction of the related liability.
Section 13.10      Survival . The Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this ARTICLE XIII shall survive any total or partial termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XIV     
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 14.1      Amendment and Modification . This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by written agreement of Buyer and Seller.
Section 14.2      Waiver of Compliance; Consents . Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of any of the Parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the Party granting such waiver, but any such waiver of such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent failure to comply therewith.
Section 14.3      Notices . All notices, provisions of documentation, reports, certifications, or other documentation, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when (A) uploaded to the Data Room ( provided , that Buyer is the only Party hereunder that may receive notice by upload to the Data Room, and such notice shall not be deemed given until Buyer has been notified thereof by an email update or telephone conversation), (B) received, if delivered personally, by facsimile transmission with completed transmission acknowledgment or

(i)      So long as Buyer does not make any assignment pursuant to this clause (i) to a Competitor of Seller, Buyer may make such an assignment without Seller’s consent to a successor to substantially all of Buyer’s business, whether in a merger, sale of stock or other equity interests or rights, sale of assets or other transaction, or in any sale of stock or other equity interests or rights in Buyer representing less than all or substantially all of Buyer’s business, including a direct or indirect (x) acquisition or disposition of tax equity investment interests or (y) collateral assignment for the benefit of a secured lender; provided , Buyer may make a collateral assignment for the benefit of a secured lender without consent to a Competitor of Seller, so long as such Person is not listed on Schedule 14.4(a); provided , further , if there is publicly announced a change in control, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Duke Energy Corporation to a Competitor of Seller, Seller shall have the right for thirty (30) calendar days after such announcement (after which date, Seller’s right shall automatically expire) to elect, immediately upon written notice, to purchase the Portfolio in full by performing the following actions: (A) promptly refund any payments of the Aggregate Purchase Price for Facilities for which none of the events in clauses (2) through (4) of the definition of Placed in Service have occurred, (B) pay to Buyer (or its successor or beneficiary) the sum of the aggregate Repurchase Value (using the method of determining the Repurchase Value specified in clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof that can be determined more quickly, with a post-purchase true-up to follow promptly to ensure that the actual amount described in this clause (B) is paid) for all Facilities or the net present value of expected remaining project cash flows at a discount rate equivalent to the investor return in the Base Case Model and including ESA renewals (reflected in the Base Case Model, adjusted to reflect a ten (10) year renewal term for each ESA in the Portfolio), whichever is greater, plus all amounts necessary for any holder of tax equity interests to achieve the rate of return contemplated in the tax equity financing documentation as of the

106
732259453 19618353



consummation of such acquisition by Seller; (C) procure written releases of Buyer from any and all liabilities, obligations and duties in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Facility Contracts, the Governmental Approvals and the Portfolio; (D) assume all of Buyer’s liabilities under any Facility Contracts and Governmental Approvals; and (E) execute and deliver to Buyer a Bill of Sale and other assignment agreements and other documentation as may be necessary to effect such purchase and related transfer of title to all Facilities;

(iii)      Seller shall be entitled to subcontract any of its obligations under this Agreement without consent ( provided , that Seller shall not subcontract to any Person other than a Service Provider pursuant to Section 14.14 ) or to assign its obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate under common ownership with Seller, provided , further , that (X) such assignment or subcontracting shall not excuse Seller from the obligation to competently perform any subcontracted or assigned obligations or any of its other obligations under the Agreement and (Y) Seller shall not assign any of Seller’s obligations hereunder to an Affiliate unless Seller shall have executed and delivered to Buyer, on or prior to the effectiveness of such Assignment, a guarantee by Seller of all payment and performance obligations so assigned, to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction;
(iv)      nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the consent of any Party with respect to any change in control, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller; and
(v)      nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the consent of any Party with respect to any acquisition or disposition of any direct or indirect tax equity interests in Buyer.
Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 14.4(1) shall be null and void. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any and all provisions applicable to a Facility Transfer are set forth in Section 3.6 .
(2)      Upon the occurrence of any assignment or other disposition by Buyer permitted under Section 14.4(1), Buyer shall automatically be deemed to have obtained as of the date of such assignment or other disposition, without further action, any other consents that may be required from Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including those set forth in Sections 3.3(3) and Section 5.5(3) such that the assignee receives the benefit of all rights, benefits and interests of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, including the Pre-COO Equipment Warranty (as applicable) and the Portfolio Warranty, and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement with such assignee or transferee that is substantially similar to the Long-Term Agreement.

Such other Party shall have the right to consent to such assignment or transaction. Such other Party shall notify such assigning Party of its determination within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of notice from such assigning Party hereunder (and if such other Party does not so timely notify, then such other Party’s consent to such assignment or transaction shall be deemed provided). If such other Party notifies such assigning Party that such other Party is electing to withhold consent, then such assigning Party shall be prohibited from consummating the proposed transaction.
(4)      In connection with any assignment allowed under this Section 14.4 , the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform such assignment or transaction so as to maintain the economic and other benefits of the parties thereto, including the assignment of contracts and Governmental Approvals (or application in respect of Governmental Approvals) in respect of any applicable Facility.

Insurance. At all times during the Term, without cost to Buyer, Seller shall maintain in force and effect the following insurance, which insurance shall not be subject to cancellation, termination or other material adverse changes unless the insurer delivers to Buyer written notice of the cancellation, termination or change at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of the cancellation, termination or material adverse change or if notice from the insurer to Buyer of material adverse change is not available on commercially reasonable terms then Seller shall provide Buyer with such notice as soon as reasonably possible after becoming aware of such change; provided, that following the Commencement of Operations Date with respect to a Facility, the insurance required hereunder shall only pertain to Seller’s Facility Services (including, for clarity, any removal, restoration or reinstallation services provided by Seller); and provided , further , that the insurance required hereunder shall pertain to the Installation Services for any Delayed Ancillary Equipment until the Commencement of Operations Date of such Delayed Ancillary Equipment:
(a)      Worker’s Compensation Insurance as required by the laws of the state in which Seller’s employees are performing EPC Services or Facility Services;

(i)      Marine Cargo - Transit coverage (including air, land and ocean cargo, as applicable) on an “all-risk” basis and a “warehouse to warehouse” basis with a per occurrence limit equal to not less than 110% of the value including transit and insurance of such shipment involving the Facility at all times for which the Seller bears or has accepted risk of loss or has responsibility for providing insurance. Coverage shall include loading, unloading and temporary storage (as applicable). Coverage shall be maintained in accordance with prudent industry practice in all regards with per occurrence deductibles of not more than $50,000 for physical damage and other terms and conditions acceptable to the Buyer.

The insurances contemplated in this clause are primary. The Parties acknowledge that, if a claim is made under any of the insurances contemplated in this Agreement, it is their intention that the insurer cannot require the Party first to exhaust indemnities referred to in this Agreement before the insurer’s obligation to perform is mature, subject to the insurer’s later pursuing subrogation, in which event any recovery will be credited by such insurer pro tanto in favor of the policyholder. The general liability and umbrella liability insurances required by this Agreement shall provide blanket contractual coverage to the full policy limit. Where applicable, each of these insurances will:
(a)      be effected with an insurer reasonably acceptable to Buyer;
(b)      contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of Buyer[, the Investor and any of its other investors and/or financing partners];
(c)      contain deductibles in accordance with prudent industry practice and approved by Buyer acting reasonably; and

Seller shall provide Buyer with evidence of compliance with these insurance requirements when requested by Buyer from time to time on a reasonable basis.

Reporting Criteria and Event Description
 
Reporting Criteria:
 
(i) Site with Capacity Factor < [***]% for [***]
(ii) Site with Capacity Factor drops > [***]% within a calendar month
(iii) Any site with Capacity Factor < [***]% in a [***]
(iv) Significant part replacement
Event Type
Description
Part Replacements
Servicing and replacement of components within the system. This includes blowers, power electronics (inverters, DC-DC converters), valves, etc. Part replacements usually affect one fuel cell module while the remainder of the site maintains power output. Usually the component can be repaired in the field, although a few failure modes exist that require the fuel cell module to be repaired at our factory.
Remote Maintenance
Major remote adjustments made by RMCC to troubleshoot issues and improve overall performance:
- Ramp the systems down until part replacement
- Adjust control parameters to optimize output and extend fuel cell life
Gas Quality (Fuel/Water Related Issues)
Unexpected gas composition detected from the system and requires early filter replacements. Typically there is no impact to power output or efficiency, but systems will occasionally be ramped down to protect the fuel cell modules until the filters are replaced.
Grid Quality/ Power Outage
Voltage or frequency is detected outside of the IEEE spec and requires BE to disconnect the grid parallel connection. UPM critical loads are unaffected. This can be an intermittent “flicker” which our systems detect and automatically reconnect, or an extended outage that requires the utility provider to restore power to the customer.
Customer Maintenance
Customer test (e.g., backup generator testing), customer planned or unplanned work, utility driven customer-owned decision or customer requested power reduction.
Site Electrical Issue
Breaker trips and signal oscillations.
Other
Unique situations such as site access delays, communication issues, cleaning system doors.

Design and Installations Procedures
Seller will perform the following activities in connection with the design and installation of each Facility, to the extent necessary to cause such Facility to achieve Commencement of Operations:
Initial site visits and studies to assess site suitability, including but not limited to due diligence research with local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) and utilities, site load validation, and utility locates. When necessary, title reports may be pulled, gas composition may be tested, and geotechnical studies may also be done.
Produce a complete set of construction drawings, either internally or in conjunction with an external design firm, in accordance with: local, state, and national codes; local electric and gas utility requirements; and site-specific or host customer requirements.
Procure all necessary permits and/or approvals as required by the local AHJs, including but not limited to Planning, Building, and Fire Departments.
Secure technical approval to interconnect with the local electric utility, and coordinate the electric interconnection agreement between the host customer and the local utility.
Engage the local gas utility to design the gas interconnection approach, and coordinate the gas contract for gas delivery to the Bloom system between the host customer and the local utility.
Secure a general contractor to build the site as designed, obtain final building department sign-off, and pass any other required inspections. Provide Bloom Energy-trained site supervision at key milestones during the construction process to ensure smooth inspections and a positive host customer experience.
Perform system commissioning once construction is complete and inspections are passed, ensuring the systems operate as intended and reach full power. Remedy any issues preventing full power prior to turning operation over to Bloom’s Service team.
Act as the interface with the host customer, securing all necessary design approvals and site access permissions, as well as coordinating construction schedules. Ensure primary personnel responsible for interfacing with Bloom’s system are educated in safety procedures. Deliver customer manuals and emergency procedures to the customer upon project completion, as well as any other close-out documentation required by the contract
