Bloom Energy Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Nature of Business, Liquidity, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
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 and provide efficient energy generation with reduced operating costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to conventional fossil fuel generation. 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, we changed our name to Bloom Energy Corporation.
Liquidity
We have generally incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. On March 31, 2020, we extended the maturity of our current debt to reduce our required debt payments in the next 12 months. After the following debt extensions were completed, the current portion of our total recourse and non-recourse debt was $26.1 million as of June 30, 2020. Notable elements of our debt extension are as follows:
On March 31, 2020, we entered into an Amendment Support Agreement with the beneficial owners of our outstanding 6% Convertible Notes due December 1, 2020 pursuant to the maturity date of the outstanding 6% Convertible Notes was extended to December 1, 2021, the interest rate increased from 6% to 10%, and the strike price on the conversion feature was reduced from $11.25 to $8.00 per share. The Amendment Support Agreement required that we repay at least $70.0 million of these 10% Convertible Notes on or before September 1, 2020, which we satisfied through a cash payment of $70.0 million on May 1, 2020. The amended terms are reflected in the Amended and Restated Indenture between Bloom and US Bank National Association dated April 20, 2020.
In conjunction with entering into the Amendment Support Agreement on March 31, 2020, we also entered into a 10% Convertible Note Purchase Agreement with Foris Ventures, LLC, a new Noteholder, and New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership, an existing Noteholder, and we issued an additional $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Convertible Notes. The Amended and Restated Indenture was also amended to reflect a new principal amount of $290.0 million to accommodate the additional $30.0 million in new 10% Convertible Notes.
On March 31, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Subordinated Secured Convertible Note Modification Agreement (the “Constellation Note Modification Agreement”) with Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. (“Constellation”), pursuant to which Constellation agreed to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2021, increase the interest rate from 5% to 10% and reduce the strike price on the conversion feature from $38.64 to $8.00 per share.
On May 1, 2020, we entered into a note purchase agreement pursuant to which certain investors purchased $70.0 million of 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 in a private placement. The proceeds from this note were used to extinguish the $70.0 million of 10% Convertible Notes on May 1, 2020.
On June 18, 2020, Constellation exercised their voluntary conversion feature and exchanged their entire Constellation Note at the conversion price of $8.00 per share into 4.7 million shares of Class A common stock. At the time of this exchange the unamortized premium of $3.4 million was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
The impact of COVID-19 on our ability to execute our business strategy and on our financial position and results of operations is uncertain. Our future cash flow 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 product, our ability to secure financing for customer use, the timing of installations, and overall economic conditions including the impact of COVID-19 on our ongoing and future operations. However, in the opinion of management, the combination of our existing cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flows is expected to be sufficient to meet our operational and capital cash flow requirements and other cash flow needs for the next 12 months from the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, but we may access capital markets opportunistically to continue to improve our capital structure and to address outstanding debt principal repayments that are due in December 2021 if market conditions are favorable.

Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and as permitted by those rules, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). However, we believe that the disclosures herein are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (the latter has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019), and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive loss, of redeemable noncontrolling interest, total stockholders' deficit and noncontrolling interest, and of cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and related notes, 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, 2019, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2020.
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, 2020.
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 haves 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. 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 the PPA II and PPA IIIb Entities, as discussed in Note 13, Power Purchase Agreement Programs. 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.
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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The most significant estimates include the determination of the stand-alone selling price, including material rights estimates, inventory valuation, specifically excess and obsolescence provisions for obsolete or unsellable inventory and, in relation to property, plant and equipment (specifically Energy Servers), assumptions relating to economic useful lives and impairment assessments.
Other accounting estimates include variable consideration relating to product performance guaranties, assumptions to compute the fair value of lease and non-lease components and related financing obligations such as incremental borrowing rates, estimated output, efficiency and residual value of the Energy Servers, warranty, product performance guaranties and extended maintenance, derivative valuations, estimates for recapture of U.S. Treasury grants and similar grants, estimates relating to contractual indemnities provisions, estimates for income taxes and deferred tax asset valuation allowances, and stock-based compensation costs. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, including sales, expenses, our allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, the carrying value of our long-lived assets, inventory, financial assets, and valuation allowances for tax assets, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat it, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers, suppliers and markets. We have made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within our financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods as new information becomes available. 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, the "Asia Pacific region"). In the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, total revenue in the Asia Pacific
11


region was 30% and 33%, respectively, of our total revenue. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, total revenue in the Asia Pacific region was 21% and 26%, respectively, of our total revenue.
Credit Risk - At June 30, 2020, one customer, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, accounted for approximately 26% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2019, two customers, Costco Wholesale Corporation and The Kraft Group LLC, accounted for approximately 19% and 17% of accounts receivable, respectively. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 quarter ended June 30, 2020, revenue from three customers, Duke Energy, SK Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. ("SK E&C") and NextEra Energy, accounted for approximately 32%, 29%, and 12%, respectively, of our total revenue. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenue from two customers, SK E&C and Duke Energy, accounted for approximately 32% and 32%, respectively, of our total revenue. In the quarter ended June 30, 2019, revenue from two customers, The Southern Company and SK E&C accounted for approximately 56% and 21%, respectively, of our total revenue. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, revenue from two customers, The Southern Company and SK E&C accounted for approximately 44% and 26%, respectively, of our total revenue. Duke Energy and The Southern Company wholly own a Third-Party PPA which purchases Energy Servers from us, however, such purchases and resulting revenue are made on behalf of various customers of these two Third-Party PPAs.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2020 are consistent with those discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as described below.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Other than the adoption of the accounting guidance 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.
Accounting Guidance Implemented in 2020
Fair Value Measurement - In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 has eliminated, amended and added disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy of timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. Companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption was permitted. We adopted ASU 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
Stock Compensation - In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2018-07") which aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awards will now be valued on the grant date and will no longer be remeasured through the performance completion date. ASU 2018-07 also changes the accounting for nonemployee awards with performance conditions to recognize compensation cost when achievement of the performance condition is probable, rather than upon achievement of the performance condition, as well as eliminating the requirement to reassess the equity or liability classification for nonemployee awards upon vesting, except for certain award types. ASU 2018-07 was effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption was permitted. We adopted ASU 2018-07 using a modified retrospective approach in January 2020 and the adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended (“ASC 842”), which provides new authoritative guidance on lease accounting. Among its provisions, the standard changes the definition of a lease, 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. All leases in scope will be classified as either operating or financing. Operating and financing leases will require the recognition of an asset and liability to be measured at the
12


present value of the lease payments. ASC 842 also makes a distinction between operating and financing leases for purposes of reporting expenses on the income statement. We are the lessee under various agreements for facilities and equipment that are currently accounted for as operating leases and expect to continue to enter into new such leases. Additionally, we expect to continue to enter into Managed Services related financing leases in the future and are the lessor of Energy Servers that are subject to power purchase arrangements with customers under our PPA and Managed Services programs that are currently accounted for as leases.
We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on our financial statements. We will be assessing the impacts of whether new power purchase arrangements with customers meet the new definition of a lease and recognizing right of use assets and lease liabilities for arrangements currently accounted for as operating leases where we are the lessee. We anticipate that we will no longer be an emerging growth company beginning on December 31, 2020, after which we will not be able to take advantage of the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies. As a result, we expect to adopt this guidance on a modified retrospective basis on December 31, 2020 and to reflect the adoption as of January 1, 2020 in our annual results for the period ended December 31, 2020.
Financial Instruments - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326) as amended, ("Topic 326"), including in February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, which provides guidance regarding methodologies, documentation, and internal controls related to expected credit losses. The pronouncement eliminates the incurred credit loss impairment methodology and replaces it with an expected credit loss concept based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Early adoption is permitted. Topic 326 requires a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We anticipate that we will no longer be an emerging growth company beginning on December 31, 2020, after which we will not be able to take advantage of the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies. As a result, we expect to adopt this guidance on a modified retrospective basis on December 31, 2020 and reflect the adoption as of January 1, 2020 in our annual results for the period ended December 31, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on our financial statements.
Income taxes - In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) ("ASU 2019-12"), wherein the accounting for income taxes is simplified by eliminating certain exceptions and implementing additional requirements which result in a more consistent application of ASC 740 Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective as for public business entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We anticipate that we will no longer be an emerging growth company beginning on December 31, 2020, after which we will not be able to take advantage of the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies. We expect to adopt this guidance on a prospective basis on January 1, 2021. We are evaluating the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
Cessation of LIBOR - In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04") which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on our financial statements.
We do not expect any other new accounting standards to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows when they become effective.
2. Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
We have restated herein our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. We have also restated related amounts within the accompanying footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Restatement Background
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on March 31, 2020, on February 11, 2020, our management, in consultation with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, determined that our previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, as well as financial statements as of and for
the three month period ended March 31, 2019, the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 should no longer be relied upon due to misstatements related to our Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements and we would restate such financial statements to make the necessary accounting corrections. The revenue for the Managed Services Agreements and similar transactions will now be recognized over the duration of the contract instead of upfront. The restatement also includes corrections for additional identified immaterial misstatements in certain of the impacted periods.
The misstatements impacting as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are described in greater detail below.
Description of Misstatements
Under our Managed Services program, we sell our equipment to a bank financing party under a sale-leaseback transaction, which pays us for the Energy Server and takes title to the Energy Server. We then enter into a service contract with an end customer, who pays the bank a fixed, monthly fee for its use of the Energy Server and pays us for our maintenance and operation of the Energy Server.
The majority of these Managed Services Agreements and similar transactions were originally recorded as sales, subject to an operating lease, in which revenues and associated costs were recognized at the time of installation and acceptance of the Energy Server at the customer site.
In December 2019, in the course of reviewing a Managed Services transaction that closed on November 27, 2019, an issue was identified related to the accounting for our Managed Services transactions. The issue primarily related to whether the terms of our Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, including the events of default provisions, satisfied the requirements for sales under the revenue accounting standards. Subsequently, it was determined that the previous accounting for the Managed Services Agreements and similar transactions was misstated, as the Managed Services Agreements and similar transactions should have been accounted for as financing transactions under lease accounting standards.
The impact of the correction of the misstatement is to recognize amounts received from the bank financing party as a financing obligation, and the Energy Server is recorded within property, plant and equipment, net, on our consolidated balance sheets. We recognize revenue for the electricity generated by the systems, based on payments received by the bank from the customer, and the corresponding financing obligations to the bank is also amortized as these payments are received by the bank from the customer, with interest thereon being calculated on an effective interest rate basis. Depreciation expense is also recognized over the estimated useful life of the Energy Server.
In addition, it was determined that stock-based compensation costs relating to manufacturing employees that were previously expensed as incurred incorrectly, should have been capitalized as a component of Energy Server manufacturing costs to inventory, deferred cost of revenues, construction-in-progress and property, plant and equipment in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14. These costs will now be expensed on consumption of the related inventory and over the economic useful life of the property, plant and equipment, as applicable.
Also, as part of a review of historical revenue agreements as a result of the above errors, it was noted that we failed to identify embedded derivatives in certain revenue agreements for an escalator price protection (“EPP”) feature given to our customers. As a result, we have recorded a derivative liability, with an offset to product revenue, to account for the fair value of this feature at inception and will record the liability at its then fair value at each period end with any changes in fair value recognized in gain (loss) on revaluation of embedded derivatives.
In addition to the impact of the restatement described above, in preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020, errors in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss were discovered. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, the presentation of this statement and other errors identified in this statement have been corrected, which resulted in an additional $5.0 million and $8.8 million increase to comprehensive loss, and an increase of $5.0 million and $8.8 million in comprehensive loss attributable to noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interests, respectively. The condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 will also be corrected when those periods are next reported. In the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, comprehensive loss as previously reported is understated by $5.8 million and overstated by $1.8 million, respectively. In addition, the reconciliation of comprehensive loss to comprehensive loss attributable to Class A and Class B stockholders was erroneously omitted. As it relates to the impact of the errors to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, management evaluated the impact of the errors to the previously issued financial statements and concluded the impacts were not material. Accordingly, these items are and will be corrected when those periods are next reported.
Finally, there were certain other immaterial misstatements identified or which had been previously identified that are also being corrected in connection with the restatement of previously issued financial statements.
Description of Restatement Reconciliation Tables
In the following tables, we have presented a reconciliation of our condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations and cash flows from our prior periods as previously reported to the restated amounts as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. In addition to the errors to the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss discussed above, that Statement has been restated for the restatement impact to net loss. The condensed consolidated statement of redeemable noncontrolling interest, total stockholders' deficit and noncontrolling interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 has also been restated for the restatement impact to net loss. See the condensed consolidated statements of operations reconciliation table below for additional information on the restatement impact to net loss.

1 Accounts receivable — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements, for which the amount recorded to accounts receivable represents amounts invoiced for capacity billings to end customers which have not yet been collected by the financing entity as of the period end.
2 Inventories — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for inventory, including net capitalization of stock-based compensation cost of $2.0 million.
3 Deferred cost of revenue, current and non-current — The correction of these misstatements resulted from reclassifying deferred cost of revenue to property, plant and equipment, net, for the leased Energy Servers under the Managed Services Agreements and similar sale-leaseback arrangements of $7.4 million (short-term) and $55.4 million (long-term), net capitalization of stock-based compensation costs of $3.7 million into current deferred cost of revenue, and the correction of certain other immaterial misstatements identified to relieve installation deferred cost of revenue of $2.5 million.
4 Prepaid expenses and other current assets — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, whereby prepaid property tax and insurance payments are now classified within prepaid expenses, rather than offset against deferred revenue.
5 Property, plant and equipment, net — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services transactions and similar arrangements, whereby product and install cost of revenue are now recorded as property, plant and equipment, net in the cases where the risks of ownership have not completely transferred to the financing party of $230.9 million. This includes a net capitalization of stock-based compensation cost for these assets of $3.7 million.
6 Other long-term assets — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, whereby the timing difference of capacity billings to end customers and the payments received from the financing entity is recorded within long term receivables and prepaid property tax and insurance payments are now classified within other long-term assets, rather than offset against long-term deferred revenue.
7 Accrued warranty — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for accrued warranty, which is now recorded on an as-incurred basis for our Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, reducing accrued warranty by $0.2 million and the change of accounting for the grid pricing escalation guarantees we provided in some of our sales arrangements, which are now recorded as derivative liabilities, reducing accrued warranty by $0.9 million.
8 Accrued expense and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements, for which historical accrued liabilities recorded at inception of the agreements, as well as subsequent reductions of those liabilities, were reversed.
9 Financing obligations, current and non-current — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, whereby instead of recognizing the upfront proceeds received from the bank as revenue, the proceeds received are classified as financing obligations.
10Deferred revenue and customer deposits, current and non-current — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for the recognition of product and installation revenue from upfront or ratable recognition to recognition of the capacity payments received from the end customer as power is generated by the Energy Servers as electricity revenue.
11 Derivative liabilities — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for embedded derivatives related to grid pricing escalation guarantees we provided in some of our sales arrangements. These are now recorded as derivative liabilities and were previously treated as an accrued liability.
12 Additional paid-in capital — Relates to the correction of an unadjusted misstatement in the valuation of our 6% Notes derivative, resulting in a credit to additional paid-in capital and additional expense of $0.8 million recorded within other expense, net.

a Revenue impacted by Managed Services restatements — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change from upfront recognition of product and installation revenue to recognition of the capacity payments received from the end customer as power is generated by the Energy Servers as electricity revenue over the term of our Managed Services Agreements and similar sale-leaseback arrangements, which also impacted our service revenue allocation.
b Service cost of revenue impacted by grid pricing escalation guarantees — The correction of these misstatements resulted in a change in the accounting for our grid escalation guarantees that resulted in a decrease in service cost of revenue of $0.1 million.
c Cost of revenue impacted by Managed Services restatements — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change from upfront recognition of product and installation cost of revenue to recognition of the depreciation expense on the capitalized Energy Servers over their useful life of 21 years for our Managed Services Agreements and similar sale-leaseback transactions, resulting in a decrease in product cost of revenue of $18.1 million and installation cost of revenue of $5.2 million, offset by an increase in electricity cost of revenue of $3.8 million, together with the correction of certain other immaterial misstatements identified to record installation cost of revenue of $0.8 million.
d Cost of revenue impacted by stock-based compensation allocation — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the capitalization of stock-based compensation costs, with a net benefit to product cost of revenue of $0.9 million, and an increase in service cost of revenue of $1.0 million due to the expensing of stock-based compensation related to field replacement units.
e Sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses — The correction of these misstatements primarily resulted from the change of accounting for sales commission expense on an as earned basis, to accounting for the expense over the term of our Managed Services Agreements and similar sale-leaseback arrangements.
f Interest expense — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for sales that should have been accounted for as financing transactions, in which the upfront consideration received from the financing party is accounted for as a financing obligation and interest expense is recognized over the term of the Managed Services Agreement using the effective interest method.
g Gain (loss) on revaluation of warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for the grid pricing escalation guarantees we provided in some of our sales arrangements which is now recorded as a derivative liability that needs to be fair valued each period end. The fair value increased in the period, resulting in a loss of $0.5 million.

A Depreciation and amortization — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Energy Servers under our Managed Services Program and similar arrangements that were previously expensed as product and install cost of revenue, but are now recorded as property, plant and equipment, net and depreciated over their useful lives of 21 years.
B Revaluation of derivative contracts — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for the grid pricing escalation guarantees we provided in some of our sales arrangements. These commitments were previously treated as an accrued liability. We now consider the commitments a derivative liability, with the initial value of recorded as a reduction in product revenue and then any changes in the value adjusted through other expense, net, each period thereafter.
C Stock-based compensation — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for stock-based compensation, including net capitalization of stock-based compensation cost into inventory of $4.7 million. The correction of this misstatement also resulted in the capitalization of $0.6 million of stock-based compensation costs related to assets under the Managed Services Programs now recorded as construction in progress within property, plant and equipment, net.
D Accounts receivable — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements, for which the amount recorded to accounts receivable represents amounts invoiced for capacity billings to end customers which have not yet been collected by the financing entity as of the period end.
E Inventories — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for inventories held for shipments planned to customers under our Managed Services Program and similar arrangements now being accounted for as construction in progress within property, plant and equipment, net.
F Deferred cost of revenue, current and non-current — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, whereby leased Energy Servers of $56.5 million previously classified as deferred cost of revenue is now recorded as construction in progress within property, plant and equipment, net, and the net release of stock-based compensation expenses of $1.5 million.
G Prepaid expenses and other current assets — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, whereby prepaid property tax and insurance payments are now classified within prepaid expenses.
H Other long-term assets — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, whereby the timing difference of capacity billings to end customers and the payments received from the financing entity is recorded within long term receivables and prepaid property tax and insurance payments are now classified within other long-term assets, rather than offset against long-term deferred revenue.
I Accrued warranty — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for accrued warranty which is now recorded on an as-incurred basis for our Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements. The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for the grid pricing escalation guarantees we've provided in some of our sales arrangements. These commitments were previously treated as a contingent liability that was considered remote. We now maintain a $0.3 million accrual, with the initial value treated as a reduction in product revenue and then any changes in the value adjusted through other expense, net each period thereafter.
J Accrued expense and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements whereby instead of recognizing the bank financing as revenue, the bank financing loan proceeds received and due are classified as a financing liability.
K Deferred revenue and customer deposits, current and non-current — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for the recognition of product and installation revenue from upfront or ratable recognition to the recognition of the capacity payments received from the end customer as power is generated by the Energy Servers as electricity revenue.
L Other long-term liabilities — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements whereby instead of recognizing the bank financing as revenue, the bank financing loan proceeds received and due beyond the next 12 months are classified as a financing obligation.
M Purchase of property, plant and equipment — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, whereby costs previously recognized as product and installation cost of revenue are now recorded as property, plant and equipment, net, in the cases where the risks of ownership have not completely transferred to the financing party.
N Proceeds and repayments from financing obligations — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, whereby instead of recognizing the upfront proceeds received from the bank as revenue, the proceeds received and due are classified as proceeds from financing obligations and the capacity payments received from the end customer are classified as repayment of financing obligations and interest paid.

Deferred revenue is equivalent to the total transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the end of the period. The significant component of deferred revenue at the end of the period consists of performance obligations relating to the provision of maintenance services under current contracts and future renewal periods. These obligations provide customers with material rights over a period that we estimate will be largely commensurate with the period of their expected use of the associated Energy Server. As a result, we expect to recognize these amounts as revenue over a period of up to 21 years, predominantly on a cost-to-cost basis that reflects the cost of providing these services. Deferred revenue also includes performance obligations relating to product acceptance and installation. A significant amount of this deferred revenue is reflected as additions and revenue recognized in the same period and we expect to recognize all amounts within a year.

Money Market Funds - Money market funds are valued using quoted market prices for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 financial assets.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements - Interest rate swap agreements are valued using quoted prices for similar contracts and are therefore classified as Level 2 financial assets. Interest rate swaps are designed as hedging instruments and are recognized at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2020, $2.0 million of the loss on the interest rate swaps accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) is expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months.
Natural Gas Fixed Price Forward Contracts - Natural gas fixed price forward contracts are valued using a combination of factors including the counterparty's credit rating and estimates of future natural gas prices and therefore, as no observable inputs to support market activity are available, are classified as Level 3 liabilities.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we marked-to-market the fair value of our natural gas fixed price forward contracts and recorded an unrealized loss of $0.1 million and an unrealized loss of $1.1 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we marked-to-market the fair value of our natural gas fixed price forward contracts and recorded a realized gain of $1.5 million and a realized gain of $1.1 million, respectively, on the settlement of these contracts in cost of revenue on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we marked-to-market the fair value of our natural gas fixed price forward contracts and recorded an unrealized loss of $0.7 million and an unrealized loss of $0.7 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we marked-to-market the fair value of our natural gas fixed price forward contracts and recorded a realized gain of $2.5 million and a realized gain of $1.6 million, respectively, on the settlement of these contracts in cost of revenue on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Embedded EPP Derivative Liability in Sales Contracts - We estimated the fair value of the embedded EPP derivatives in certain sales contracts using a Monte Carlo simulation model which considers various potential electricity price curves over the sales contracts' terms. We use historical grid prices and available forecasts of future electricity prices to estimate future electricity prices. We have classified these derivatives as a Level 3 financial liability. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we marked-to-market the fair value of our embedded EPP derivatives and recorded an unrealized gain of $0.4 million and an unrealized loss of $0.5 million, respectively, in gain (loss) on revaluation of embedded derivatives on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we marked-to-market the fair value of our embedded EPP derivatives and recorded an unrealized loss of $0.7 million and an unrealized loss of $1.1 million, respectively, in gain (loss) on revaluation of embedded derivatives on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the natural gas commodity types consist of inputs that are less observable due in part to lack of available broker quotes, supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date or are based on internally developed models. Certain basis prices (i.e., the difference in pricing between two locations) included in the valuation of natural gas contracts were deemed unobservable.
To estimate the liabilities related to the EPP contracts an option pricing method was implemented through a Monte Carlo simulation. The unobservable inputs were simulated based on the available values for Avoided Cost and Cost of Electricity as calculated for June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, using an expected growth rate of 7% over the contracts life and volatility of 20%. The estimated growth rate and volatility were estimated based on the historical tariff changes for the period 2008 to 2020. Avoided Cost is the Transmission and Distribution cost expressed in dollars per kilowatt hours avoided in the given year of the contract, calculated using the billing rates of the effective utility tariff applied during the year to the host account for which usage is offset by the generator. If the billing rates within the utility tariff change during the measurement period, the average of the amount of charge for each rate shall be weighted by the number of effective months for each amount.
The inputs listed above would have had a direct impact on the fair values of the above derivatives if they were adjusted. Generally, an increase in natural gas prices and a decrease in electric grid prices would each result in an increase in the estimated fair value of our derivative liabilities.

Long-Lived Assets - Our long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment and Energy Servers capitalized in connection with our Managed Services Program, Purchase Power Agreement Programs and other similar arrangements. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, we upgraded 0.4 megawatts of Energy Servers in PPA IIIb by decommissioning these systems and selling and installing new Energy Servers. As a result of these upgrades, the useful lives of all other remaining Energy Servers included within our long-lived assets were reassessed and we concluded that no change in the useful lives or impairment of these remaining Energy Servers was identified in the period ended June 30, 2020. See Note 13, Purchase Power Agreement Programs for further information.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Recourse Debt Facilities
LIBOR + 4% Term Loan due November 2020 - The weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 4.5% and 6.3%, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the unpaid principal balance of debt outstanding was $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and we are in compliance with all covenants, respectively.
10% Constellation Convertible Promissory Note due 2021 - On March 31, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Subordinated Secured Convertible Note Modification Agreement (the “Constellation Note Modification Agreement”)
23


which amended the terms of the 5% Constellation Note to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2021 and increased the interest rate from 5% to 10% ("10% Constellation Note"). We further amended the 10% Constellation Note by reducing the strike price on the conversion feature from $38.64 per share to $8.00 per share.
When we evaluated the Constellation Note Modification Agreement in accordance with ASC 470-60, Debt - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors ("ASC 470-60") and ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments ("ASC 470-50"), we concluded that the amendment did not constitute a troubled debt restructuring and, furthermore, the amendment qualified as a substantial modification as a result of the increase in the fair value of the conversion feature due to the reduced strike price. As a result, on March 31, 2020, the 10% Constellation Note, which consisted of $33.1 million in principal and $3.8 million in accrued and unpaid interest, was extinguished and the 10% Constellation Note was recorded at their fair market value which equaled $40.7 million. The difference between the fair market value of the 10% Constellation Note and the carrying value of the 5% Constellation Note of $3.8 million was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
On June 18, 2020, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. exchanged their entire 10% Constellation Note at the conversion price of $8.00 per share into 4.7 million shares of Class A common stock. At the time of this exchange the unamortized premium of $3.4 million was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
10% Convertible Promissory Notes due December 2021 - On March 31, 2020, we entered into an Amendment Support Agreement (the “Amendment Support Agreement”) with the noteholders of our outstanding 6% Convertible Notes pursuant to which such Noteholders agreed to extend the maturity date of the outstanding 6% Convertible Notes to December 1, 2021 and increase the interest rate from 6% to 10%, ("10% Convertible Notes"). Additionally, the debt is convertible at the option of the Noteholders into common stock at any time through the maturity date and we further amended the 10% Convertible Notes by reducing the strike price on the conversion feature from $11.25 to $8.00 per share. In conjunction with entering into the Amendment Support Agreement, on March 31, 2020, we also entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “10% Convertible Note Purchase Agreement”) and issued an additional $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Convertible Notes to Foris Ventures, LLC, a new Noteholder, and New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership, an existing Noteholder. The 10% Convertible Notes and the $30.0 million new 10% Convertible Notes were all reflected in the Amended and Restated Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association dated April 20, 2020. The Amendment Support Agreement required that we repay at least $70.0 million of the 10% Convertible Notes on or before September 1, 2020. In return, collateral was released to support the collateral required under the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes, and 50% of the proceeds from the consummation of certain transactions, including equity offerings or additional indebtedness, will be applied to redeem the 10% Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 10% Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, the aggregate sum of all remaining scheduled interest payments, discounted by a rate equal to the treasury rate plus fifty basis points, multiplied by a certain percentage (“Applicable Percentage”) that ranges from 0% to 100% which is determined based on the time of redemption. If the redemption were to occur on or before October 21, 2020, the Applicable Percentage would be 0% and therefore no redemption penalty would be incurred. If the redemption were to happen after October 21, 2020, the Applicable Percentage would be between 25% and 100%, determined based on the time of redemption. On May 1, 2020, we repaid $70.0 million of the 10% Convertible Notes and accrued and unpaid interest and recorded an adjustment to the unamortized debt premium of $4.3 million.
We evaluated the Amendment Support Agreement in accordance with ASC 470-60 and 470-50 and concluded that the amendment did not constitute a troubled debt restructuring and, furthermore, the amendment qualified as a substantial modification as a result of the increase in the fair value of the conversion feature due to the reduced strike price. As a result, on March 31, 2020, we recorded a $10.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, which was calculated as the difference between the reacquisition price of the 6% Convertible Notes and the carrying value of the 6% Convertible Notes. The total carrying value of the 6% Convertible Notes equaled $279.0 million, which consisted of $289.3 million in principal and $1.4 million in accrued and unpaid interest, reduced by $10.7 million in unamortized discount and $1.0 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. The total reacquisition price of the 6% Convertible Notes equaled $289.3 million which consisted of the $340.7 million fair value of the 10% Convertible Notes, $1.4 million in accrued and unpaid interest, and $1.2 million of fees paid to Noteholders as part of the amendment, reduced by $24.0 million, the fair value at March 31, 2020 of the embedded derivative relating to the equity classified conversion feature was reclassified from additional paid-in capital at the time of the debt extinguishment, $20.0 million cash received from the additional 10% Convertible Notes that were issued to New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership, and the $10.0 million issuance to Foris Ventures, LLC.
The new net carrying amount of the 10% Convertible Notes of $263.4 million, which consists of the $249.3 million principal of the 10% Convertible Notes, $14.1 million net of premium paid for the 10% Convertible Notes and debt issuance

costs was classified as non-current as of June 30, 2020. Furthermore, the $14.1 million deemed premium net of debt issuance cost is being amortized over the term of the 10% Convertible Notes using the effective interest method.
10% Notes due July 2024 - The outstanding unpaid principal balance of the 10% Notes of $14.0 million and $14.0 million were classified as current as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and the net carrying amount of the 10% Notes of $69.5 million and $76.0 million were classified as non-current as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The accrued unpaid interest balance on the 10% Notes was $3.6 million and $3.9 million as on June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
10.25% Senior Secured Notes due March 2027 - On May 1, 2020, we issued $70.0 million of 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “10.25% Senior Secured Notes”) in a private placement (the “Senior Secured Notes Private Placement”). The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Senior Secured Notes Indenture”) entered into among us, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as trustee and collateral agent. The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes are secured by certain of our operations and maintenance agreements that previously were part of the security for the 6% Convertible Notes. We used the proceeds of this issuance to repay $70.0 million of our 10% Convertible Notes on May 1, 2020. The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes are supported by a $150.0 million indenture between us and US Bank National Association which contains an accordion feature for an additional $80.0 million of notes that can be issued within the next 18 months.
Interest on the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes is payable on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing June 30, 2020. The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes Indenture contains customary events of default and covenants relating to, among other things, the incurrence of new debt, affiliate transactions, liens and restricted payments. On or after March 27, 2022, we may redeem all of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes at a price equal to 108% of the principal amount of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, with such optional redemption prices decreasing to 104% on and after March 27, 2023, 102% on and after March 27, 2024 and 100% on and after March 27, 2026. Before March 27, 2022, we may redeem the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes upon repayment of a make-whole premium. If we experience a change of control, we must offer to purchase for cash all or any part of each holder’s 10.25% Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The outstanding unpaid principal of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes of $70.0 million was classified as non-current as of June 30, 2020.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Swaps
We use various financial instruments to minimize the impact of variable market conditions on our results of operations. We use interest rate swaps to minimize the impact of fluctuations of interest rate changes on our outstanding debt where LIBOR is applied. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
The fair values of the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows (in thousands):

PPA Company V - In July 2015, PPA Company V entered into nine interest rate swap agreements to convert a variable interest rate debt to a fixed rate and we designated and documented the interest rate swap arrangements as cash flow hedges. Three of these swaps matured in 2016, three will mature on December 21, 2021 and the remaining three 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 $183.2 million and $184.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 $35,600 and a gain of $36,000 attributable to the change in valuation during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and were included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recorded a gain of $71,000 and a gain of $12,000 attributable to the change in valuation during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and were included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Embedded EPP Derivatives in Sales Contracts
Embedded EPP Derivatives in Sales Contracts - We estimated the fair value of the embedded EPP derivatives in certain sales contracts using a Monte Carlo simulation model which considers various potential electricity price forward curves over the sales contracts' terms. We use historical grid prices and available forecasts of future electricity prices to estimate future electricity prices. The grid pricing EPP guarantees that we provided in some of our sales arrangements represent an embedded derivative, with the initial value accounted for as a reduction in product revenue and any changes, reevaluated quarterly, in the fair market value of the derivative recorded in gain (loss) on revaluation of embedded derivatives. We recorded an unrealized gain of $0.4 million and an unrealized loss of $0.5 million attributable to the change in fair value for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We recorded an unrealized gain of $0.7 million and an unrealized loss of $1.1 million attributable to the change in fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These gains and losses were included within loss on revaluation of embedded derivatives in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of these derivatives was $5.5 million and $6.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

2019 and 2020 Executive Awards
In November 2019, the Board approved stock options ("2019 Executive Awards") to certain executive staff.

Stock-based compensation costs associated with the 2019 Executive Awards are recognized over the service period, even though no tranches of the 2019 Performance Awards vest unless a market condition is achieved. The grant date fair value of the options is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation.
In June 2020, the Board approved stock awards ("2020 Executive Awards") to certain executive staff. The 2020 Executive Awards consist of three vesting tranches with an annual vesting schedule based on the attainment of performance conditions and assuming continued employment and service through each vesting date. Stock-based compensation costs associated with the 2020 Executive Awards is recognized over the service period as we evaluate the probability of the achievement of the performance conditions.
11. Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded provisions for income taxes of $0.1 million and $0.3 million on pre-tax losses of $47.8 million and $86.7 million for effective tax rates of (0.3)% and (0.3)%, respectively.

PPA Entities’ Aggregate Assets and Liabilities
Generally, Operating Company assets can be used to settle only the Operating Company obligations and Operating Company creditors do not have recourse to us. The aggregate carrying values of our VIEs, including PPA IIIa, PPA IV and PPA V, for their assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, after eliminations of intercompany transactions and balances, were (in thousands):

As of January 1, 2020, the flip date, we are the majority owner shareholder in the PPA IIIa entity receiving 95% of all cash distributions and profits and losses. In PPA IV and PPA V we consolidate as VIEs, we are the minority shareholder. 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 our 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
Facilities Leases
We lease most of our facilities, office buildings and equipment under operating leases that expire at various dates through December 2028. Our headquarters is used for administration, research and development and sales and marketing.
Additionally, we lease various manufacturing facilities in Sunnyvale, California and Mountain View, California.
Our current lease for our Sunnyvale manufacturing facilities, entered into in April 2005, expires in 2020. Our current lease for our manufacturing facilities at Mountain View, entered into in December 2011, expired in December 2019 and is extended on a month to month arrangement. In June 2020, we signed a lease to replace a manufacturing facility in Mountain View, California that will expire in 2027. The existing leased plants together comprise approximately 370,601 square feet of space. We lease additional office space as field offices in the United States and around the world including in India, the Republic of Korea, China and Taiwan.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, rent expense for all occupied facilities was $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, rent expense for all occupied facilities was $4.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
Equipment Leases
We are a party to master lease agreements that provide for the sale of our Energy Servers to third parties and the simultaneous leaseback of the systems which we then sublease to customers. The lease agreements expire on various dates through 2025 and there was no recorded rent expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
At June 30, 2020, future minimum lease payments under operating leases and financing obligations were as follows (in thousands):

1 Sublease Payments primarily represents the fees received by the bank from our end customer for the electricity generated by our Energy Servers leased under our Managed Services and other similar arrangements, which also pay down our financing obligation to the bank.
Managed Services Financing Obligations - Our Managed Services arrangements are classified as capital leases and are recorded as financing transactions, while the sublease arrangements with the end customer are classified as operating leases. Payments received from the financier are recorded as financing obligations. These obligations are included in each agreements' contract value and are recorded as short-term or long-term liabilities based on the estimated payment dates. The long-term financing obligations were $440.4 million and $446.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The difference between these obligations and the principal obligations in the table above will be offset against the carrying value of the related Energy Servers at the end of the lease and the remainder recognized as a gain at that point. We recognize revenue for the electricity generated by allocating the total proceeds of the sublease payments based on the relative standalone selling prices to electricity revenue and to service revenue.
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 its forecasts. We can generally give notice of order cancellation at least 90 days prior to the delivery date. However, we issue purchase orders to our component suppliers and third-party manufacturers that may not be cancellable. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no material open purchase orders with our component suppliers and third-party manufacturers that are not cancellable.
Power Purchase Agreement Program - Under the terms of the Bloom Electrons program, customers agree to purchase power from our Energy Servers at negotiated rates, generally for periods of up to fifteen years. We are responsible for all operating costs necessary to maintain, monitor and repair the 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. For additional information on the Bloom Electrons program, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and Note 13, Power Purchase Agreement Programs.
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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. We paid $5.7 million and $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.
Letters of Credit - In June 2015, PPA V entered into a $131.2 million credit agreement to fund the purchase and installation of our Energy Servers. The lenders have commitments to a 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, 2020 was $5.2 million.
In 2019, pursuant to the PPA II upgrade of Energy Servers, we agreed to indemnify SPDS for losses that may be incurred in the event of certain regulatory, legal or legislative development and established a cash-collateralized letter of credit for this purpose. As of June 30, 2020, the balance of this cash-collateralized LC was $108.7 million, of which $4.2 million and $104.5 million is recorded as short-term and long-term restricted cash, respectively.
Pledged Funds - In 2019, pursuant to the PPA IIIb upgrade of Energy Servers, we have restricted cash of $20.0 million which has been pledged for a seven-year period to secure our operations and maintenance obligations with respect to the totality of our obligations to the financier. All or a portion of such funds would be released if we meet certain credit rating and/or market capitalization milestones prior to the end of the pledge period. If we do not meet the required criteria within the first five-year period, the funds would still be released to us over the following two years as long as the Energy Servers continue to perform in compliance with our warranty obligations.
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.
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, 2020, we had 380 full time workers in Delaware and paid $135.1 million in cumulative compensation. As of December 31, 2019, we had 323 full time workers in Delaware and paid $120.1 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 $2.6 million on September 30, 2021 and up to an additional $2.5 million on September 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2020, we paid $1.5 million for recapture provisions and have recorded $10.5 million in other long-term liabilities for potential recapture.
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. Energy Servers are purchased by the PPA Entities, other financial sponsors or customers and, therefore, these bear the risk of repayment if the assets placed in service do not meet the ITC operational criteria in the future although in certain limited circumstances we do provide indemnification for such risk.
Legal Matters - We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We review all legal matters at least quarterly and assess whether an accrual for loss contingencies needs to be recorded. 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 our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the resolution occurs or on future periods.
In July 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 (the “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. On September 27, 2019, we filed a motion to dismiss the statement of claim. On March 24, 2020, the Tribunal denied our motion to dismiss in part, and ordered that Claimant’s relief is limited to rescission of the Confidential Agreement or remedies consistent with rescission, and not expectation damages. We do not believe claimant’s claims supporting rescission have merit nor that claimants can remit to us the monetary benefits they already obtained under the Confidential Agreement. We have recorded no loss contingency related to this claim. On July 30, 2020, Claimants notified us that they intend to file a complaint in the Northern District of California seeking to stay the arbitration, and disqualify the arbitration panel on procedural grounds. We believe Claimants have no basis to bring this Complaint and that doing so will breach the Confidential Agreement.
In June 2019, Messrs. Daubenspeck and Badger filed a complaint against our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and our former Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois asserting nearly identical claims as those in the pending arbitration discussed above. The lawsuit has been stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration. We believe the complaint to be without merit and we have recorded no loss contingency related to this claim.
In March 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 (the "Securities Act") for alleged misleading statements or omissions in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in connection with our July 25, 2018 initial public offering ("IPO"). 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. Plaintiffs' Consolidated Amended Complaint was filed with the court on September 12, 2019. On October 4, 2019, defendants moved to stay the lawsuit pending the federal district court action discussed below. On December 7, 2019, the Superior Court issued an order staying the action through resolution of the parallel federal litigation mentioned below. We believe the complaint to be without merit and we intend to vigorously defend.
In May 2019, Elissa Roberts filed a class action complaint in the federal district court for the Northern District of California against us, certain members of our senior management team, and certain of our directors alleging violations under Section 11 and 15 of the Securities Act for alleged misleading statements or omissions in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in connection with our IPO. On September 3, 2019, James Hunt was appointed as lead plaintiff and Levi & Korsinsky was appointed as plaintiff’s counsel. On November 4, 2019, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding the underwriters in our initial public offering, claims under Sections 10b and 20a of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act") and extending the class period to September 16, 2019. On April 21, 2020, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint adding claims under the Securities Act. The second amended complaint also adds allegations pertaining to the Restatement and, as to claims under the Exchange Act, extends the class period through February 12, 2020. We believe the complaint to be without merit and we intend to vigorously defend. On July 1, 2020, we filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint.
In September 2019, we received a books and records demand from purported stockholder Dennis Jacob (“Jacob Demand”). The Jacob Demand cites allegations from the September 17, 2019 report prepared by admitted short seller Hindenburg Research. In November 2019, we received a substantially similar books and records demand from the same law firm on behalf of purported stockholder Michael Bolouri (“Bolouri Demand” and, together with the Jacob Demand, the “Demands”). On January 13, 2020, Messrs. Jacob and Bolouri filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery to enforce the Demands in the matter styled Jacob v. Bloom Energy Corp., C.A. No. 2020-0023-JRS. On March 9, 2020, Messrs. Jacob and Bolouri filed an amended complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery to add allegations regarding the restatement. A trial date for this matter has been set for December 7, 2020. We believe the complaint to be without merit.
In March 2020, Francisco Sanchez filed a class action complaint in Santa Clara County Superior Court against us alleging certain wage and hour violations under the California Labor Code and Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Orders and that we engaged in unfair business practices under the California Business and Professions Code, and in July 2020 he amended his complaint to add claims under the California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). We are still investigating the Plantiff's allegations and intend to vigorously defend against the complaint, but any range of potential loss is not currently estimable.

15. Segment Information
Segment and the Chief Operating Decision Maker
Our chief operating decision makers ("CODMs"), our CEO and the CFO, 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. We are 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 operating unit structure and are a single reporting segment.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Overview
Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
We have restated our previously reported financial information as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 in this Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including but not limited to information within Results of Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources sections.
See Note 2, Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, for additional information related to the restatement, including descriptions of the misstatements and the impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Description of Bloom Energy
Our solution, the Bloom 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 Bloom Energy Server converts standard low-pressure natural gas, biogas or hydrogen 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. 250 kilowatts of power is roughly equivalent to the constant power requirement of a typical big box retail store. Any number of our Energy Server systems can be clustered together in various configurations to form solutions from hundreds of kilowatts to many tens of megawatts. We currently primarily target commercial and industrial customers.
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 our Energy Servers to customers who 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 product and financing options to the below-investment-grade customers 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.

COVID-19 Pandemic
General
We have been and will continue monitoring and adjusting as appropriate our operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a technology company that supplies resilient, reliable and clean energy, we have been able to conduct the majority of operations as an “essential business” in California and Delaware, where we manufacture and perform many of our R&D activities, as well as in other states and countries where we are installing or maintaining our Energy Servers, notwithstanding government “shelter in place” orders. For the safety of our employees and others, many of our employees are still working from home unless they are directly supporting essential manufacturing production operations, installation work,
38


service and maintenance activities and R&D. We have established protocols to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission within our facilities, including enhanced cleaning, and temperature screenings upon entry. In addition, all individuals entering Bloom facilities are required to wear face coverings and are directed not to enter if they have COVID-19-like symptoms. We follow all CDC guidelines when notified of possible exposures. For more information regarding the risks posed to our company by the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Products and Manufacturing – Our business has been and will continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have implemented measures to preserve cash and enhance liquidity, including suspending salary increases and bonuses, instituting a company-wide hiring freeze, eliminating business travel, reducing capital expenditures, and delaying or eliminating discretionary spending. We are also focused on managing our working capital needs, maintaining as much flexibility as possible around timing of taking and paying for inventory and manufacturing our product while managing potential changes or delays in installations.
In March 2020, we extended the terms of the 10% Convertible Notes and the 10% Constellation Note to December 2021. Since then, the 10% Constellation Note was converted into equity and the potential liabilities associated with the 10% Constellation Notes have been extinguished. This relieves some pressure on our liquidity position in the near term. While we will likely need to access the capital markets to raise sufficient capital to redeem the 10% Convertible Notes, we do not expect that it will be necessary to access capital markets for cash to operate our business for the next 12 months, unless the impact of COVID-19 to our business and financial position is more extensive than expected. Capital markets have been volatile and there is no assurance that we would have access to capital markets at a reasonable cost, or at all, at times when capital is needed. In addition, our existing debt has restrictive covenants that limit our ability to raise new debt or to sell assets, which would limit our ability to access liquidity by those means without obtaining consent from existing noteholders. The redemption penalty on our 10% Convertible Notes starting in October 2020 could also adversely affect our financial position if we are unable to access capital markets to refinance them on reasonable terms. Refer to Note 7, Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements; Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources; and Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Liquidity – 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, and We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to meet our debt service obligations, for more information regarding the terms of and risks associated with our debt.
Operations and maintenance cash flows for certain PPAs, direct purchases and leases are pledged to the 10% Senior Secured Notes and 10.25% Senior Secured Notes. If there is delay in payment from customers, or if a customer does not renew a contract with us that we expect to be renewed, our ability to service existing debt would be adversely affected, which could trigger a default if non-payment extends beyond the grace period. Even if we are able to sustain debt service payments, if we do not meet certain minimum debt service coverage ratio levels specified in our debt agreements, excess cash after the debt has been serviced could not be released to support our operations and would negatively affect our liquidity position.
Sales
In some markets, we have experienced an increase in time to obtain new business as our customers deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Decision makers in organizations such as education and entertainment have shifted their focus to the immediate needs of the pandemic, thus delaying their purchase decisions and capital outlays. While there may ultimately be a reduction in electricity needs due to decrease in economic activity, the current impact generally equates to a longer transaction cycle.
Our ability to continue to expand our business both domestically and internationally and develop customer relationships also has been negatively impacted by current travel restrictions. Our marketing efforts historically have often involved customer visits to our manufacturing centers in California or Delaware, which we have suspended.
On the other hand, a significant portion of our customers are hospitals, healthcare companies, retailers and data centers. These industries are composed of essential businesses that still need the resiliency and reliability offered by our products. We have seen an increase in demand for our products in these sectors where the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the benefits of always-on, on-site power in times of disaster and uncertainty. In addition, the pandemic has had no significant effect on our business in the Republic of Korea.
We have also had some unique opportunities to deploy our systems on an emergency basis to support temporary hospitals. We believe deploying clean electrical power with no oxides of nitrogen (NOx) or sulfur (SOx) emissions, especially as atmospheric pollutants, is important for facilities preparing to treat a respiratory disease like COVID-19. As a result of this opportunity to introduce our products to more healthcare providers, demand for our products at some permanent hospitals has also increased.
39


Customer Financing
COVID-19 has not yet had any significant impact on our ability to obtain financing for our customers’ use of our products, but we are finding it more difficult to find financiers who are able to monetize tax credit. A majority of the installations we have planned in the United States in 2020 have obtained financing. However, we have actively been working with new sources of capital that could finance projects for our 2021 installations. We believe the current environment may increase the time to solidify new relationships, and thus negatively impact the time required to achieve funding. In addition, our ability to obtain financing for our Energy Servers partly depends on the creditworthiness of our customers. Some of our customers’ credit ratings have recently fallen, which may make it difficult for us to obtain financing for their use of an Energy Server. Our recent experience has been that financing parties have capital to deploy and are interested in financing our Energy Servers and, at present, cash flow and results of operations including revenue have not been impacted by our inability to obtain financing for customer installations.
Installations of Energy Servers
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused delays that affected nearly all of our installations with varying degrees of severity. Since we do not recognize revenue on the sales of our products until installation and acceptance, installation delays have a negative impact on our results of operations including revenue. Since we generally earn cash as we progress through the installation process, delays to installation activity also adversely affects our cash flows.
While our installation activity has been deemed “essential business” and allowed to proceed in many jurisdictions, the essential business designations for our activities (and those of our suppliers and other third party organizations that are critical to our success) has been inconsistent from region to region and across the various third parties upon whom we are critically dependent to complete our installations. As an example, in New York City, one of our installations was deemed essential while the other was not deemed essential and the utilities on whom we rely for water, gas and electric inter-connections were also not uniformly affected. This resulted in all of the projects in New York City being adversely affected to some extent. As another example, while the State of Massachusetts designated construction as an essential business, some local authorities in Massachusetts did not apply the same designation, resulting in delays and additional compliance costs.
In addition, we have experienced delays and interruptions to our installations where customers have shut down or otherwise limited access to their facilities.
Some of our backlog can only be deployed when the customer brings on sufficient load for our systems. Facility closings and diminished economic activity delay that load coming online, leading customers to postpone the completion of installations.
We use general contractors and sub-contractors, and need supplies of various types of ancillary equipment, for our installations. Some of our suppliers have had COVID-19 outbreaks among their workforces, which have caused installation delays. In addition, the availability and productivity of contractors, sub-contractors, and suppliers has generally been negatively impacted by social distancing requirements and other safety measures.
Nearly all of our installations completed in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were impacted by COVID-19 to some extent and some installations were unable to achieve acceptance in light of the delays which impacted our cash flows and results of operation including revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. As examples, our pre-contract installation planning activity was affected by access to potential customer sites, our permitting activity was affected in virtually all jurisdictions by delays in the permitting process as various cities and municipalities shut down or implemented limited services in response to COVID-19, and our utility related work was impacted as our gas and electric utility suppliers facing challenges brought on by COVID-19. We expect disruptions like those noted above to continue with the current COVID-19 restrictions.
Supply Chain
We have experienced COVID-19 related delays from certain vendors and suppliers, however, we have been able to find and qualify alternative suppliers and our production to date has not been impacted. At present, our supply chain has stabilized; however, if spikes in COVID-19 occur in regions in which our supply chain operates we could experience a delay in materials which could in turn impact production and installations and our cash flow and results of operations including revenue.
Manufacturing
As an essential business, we have continued to manufacture Energy Servers, but have adopted strict measures to keep our employees safe. These measures have decreased productivity to an extent, but our deployments, maintenance and installations have not yet been constrained by our current pace of manufacturing. As described above, we have established protocols to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission within our manufacturing facilities and follow all CDC guidelines when notified of possible exposures. We also are now instituting testing of anyone who comes into any of our facilities. Even with these
40


precautions, it is possible an asymptomatic individual could enter our facilities and transmit the virus to others. We have had a couple positive tests and in such cases, we have followed CDC Guidelines. To date, it has not impacted our production.
If we become aware of any cases of COVID-19 among any of our employees, we notify those with whom the person is known to have been in contact, send the exposed employees home for at least 14 days and require each employee to be tested negative before returning to work. Certain roles within our facilities involve greater mobility throughout our facilities and potential exposure to more employees. In the event one of such employees suffers from COVID-19, or if we otherwise believe that a significant number of employees have been exposed and sent home, particularly in our manufacturing facilities, our production could be significantly impacted. Furthermore, since our manufacturing process requires tasks performed at both our California facility and Delaware facility, significant exposure at either facility would have a substantial impact on our overall production, and could adversely affect our cash flow and results of operations including revenue.
Purchase and Lease Options
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 (including customers who are unable to monetize the tax credits available to purchasers of our Energy Servers) 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 ("Traditional Lease"), Managed Services, and power purchase agreement ("PPA") programs ("PPA Programs").
Our capacity to offer our Energy Servers through any of these financed arrangements depends in large part on the ability of the financing party or parties involved to monetize the related investment tax credits, accelerated tax depreciation and other incentives. Interest rate fluctuations may 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 PPA Program options are limited by the creditworthiness of the customer. Additionally, the Managed Services and Traditional Lease 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.
In each of our purchase options, we typically perform the functions of a project developer, including identifying end customers and financiers, leading the negotiations of the customer agreements and financing agreements, securing all necessary permitting and interconnections approvals, and overseeing the design and construction of the project up to and including commissioning the Energy Servers.
Under each purchase option, we provide warranties and performance guaranties regarding our Energy Servers’ efficiency and output. We refer to a “warranty” as a commitment where the failure of the Energy Servers to satisfy the stated performance level obligates us to repair or replace the Energy Servers as necessary to improve performance. If we fail to complete such repair or replacement, or if repair or replacement is impossible, we may be obligated to repurchase the Energy Servers from the customer or financier. We refer to a “guaranty” as a commitment where the failure of the Energy Servers to satisfy the stated performance level obligates us to make a payment to compensate the beneficiary of such guaranty for the resulting increased cost or diminution in benefits resulting from such failure. Our obligation to make payments under the guaranty is always contractually capped and represents a contingency linked to our services obligation with no economic incentive for us to default and force an exercise of the payment obligation.
Under direct purchase and Traditional Lease, the warranties and guaranties are typically included in the price of our Energy Server for the first year. The warranties and guaranties 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 30 years. Historically, our customers and financiers have almost always exercised their option to renew the warranties and guaranties under these operations and maintenance services agreements.
Under the Managed Services Program, the warranties and guaranties are included for the fixed period specified in the customer agreement. This period is typically 10 years, which may be extended at the option of the parties for additional years.
Under the PPA Programs, we typically provide warranties and guaranties regarding our Energy Servers’ efficiency to the customer (i.e., the end user of the electricity generated by our Energy Servers, who is also responsible for the purchase of the fuel required for our Energy Servers’ operations), and we provide warranties and guaranties regarding our Energy Servers’ output to the financier(s) that purchases our Energy Servers. The warranties and guaranties are typically included in the price of our Energy Server for the first year and may be renewed annually at the financier’s option, as an operations and maintenance services agreement, at predetermined prices for a period of up to 30 years. Historically, our financiers have almost always exercised their option to renew the warranties and guaranties under these operations and maintenance services agreements. We
41


also provide a fixed schedule of prices for each year of the term of our agreements with our customers and none of our customers have failed to renew our operations and maintenance agreements.
The substantial majority of bookings made in recent periods are pursuant to the PPA and the Managed Services Programs.
Each of our financing structures is described in further detail below.

Traditional Lease
BE-20200630_G2.JPG
Under the Traditional Lease arrangement, the customer enters into a lease directly with a financier, which pays us for our Energy Servers purchased pursuant to a sales agreement (see the description of the Financing Agreement below). We recognize product and installation revenue upon acceptance. After the standard one-year warranty period, our customers have almost always exercised the option to enter into operations and maintenance services agreements with us, under which we receive annual service payments from the customer. The price for the annual operations and maintenance services is set at the time we enter into the Financing Agreement. The term of a lease in a Traditional Lease ranges from five to eight years.
Under a Financing Agreement, we are generally paid the full price of our Energy Servers as if sold as a purchase by the customer based on four milestones. The four payment milestones are typically as follows: (i) 15% upon execution of the financier's entry into the lease with a customer, (ii) 25% on the day that is 180 days prior to delivery of the Energy Servers, (iii) 40% upon shipment of the Energy Servers, and (iv) 20% upon acceptance of the Energy Servers. The financier receives title to the Energy Servers upon installation at the customer site and the financier has risk of loss while our Energy Server is in operation on the customer’s site.
The Financing Agreement provides for the installation of our Energy Servers and includes a standard one-year warranty, to the financier, which includes the performance guaranties described below, with the warranty offered on an annually renewing basis at the discretion of, and to, the customer. The customer must provide fuel for the Bloom Energy Servers to operate.
Our direct lease deployments typically provide for warranties and guaranties of both the efficiency and output of our Energy Servers, all of which are written in favor of the customer and contained in the operations and maintenance services agreement. These warranties and guaranties may be measured on a monthly, annual, cumulative or other basis. As of June 30, 2020, we had incurred no liabilities due to failure to repair or replace our Energy Servers pursuant to these warranties. Our obligation to make payments for underperformance against the performance guaranties for Traditional Lease projects was capped contractually under the sales agreements between us and each customer at an aggregate total of approximately $6.0 million (including payments both for low output and for low efficiency), and our aggregate remaining potential liability under this cap was approximately $4.1 million.
42


Remarketing at Termination of Lease
In the event the customer does not renew or purchase our Energy Servers to the end of any customer lease, we may remarket any such Energy Servers to a third party. Any proceeds of such sale would be allocated between us and the applicable financing partner as agreed between them at the time of such sale.

Managed Services Financing

BE-20200630_G3.JPG
Under our Managed Services Programs, we enter into a Managed Services Agreement with a customer, pursuant to which the customer is able to use the Energy Server for a certain term. Under the Managed Services Agreement, the customer makes a monthly payment for the use of the Energy Server. The customer payment typically has two components: (i) a fixed monthly capacity-based payment and (ii) a performance-based payment based on the output of electricity that month from the Energy Server. The fixed capacity-based payments made by the customer under the Managed Services Agreement are applied toward our obligation to pay down our liability under the master lease with the financier. The performance payment is transferred to us as compensation for operations and maintenance services and recorded as services revenue within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In some cases, the customer’s monthly payment consists solely of the first component, a fixed monthly capacity-based payment.
Once a financier is identified and the Energy Server’s installation is complete, we sell the Energy Server contemplated by the Managed Services Agreement directly to a financier and the financier, as lessor, leases it back to us, as lessee, pursuant to a master lease in a sale-leaseback transaction. The proceeds from the sale are recorded as a financing obligation within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any ongoing operations and maintenance service payments are scheduled in the Managed Services Agreement in the form of the performance-based payment described above. The financier typically pays the financing proceeds for the Energy Server contemplated by the Managed Services Agreement on or shortly after acceptance.
The fixed capacity payments made by the customer under the Managed Services Agreement are recognized as electricity revenue when billed and applied toward our obligation to pay the financing obligation under the master lease. Our Managed Services financings have historically shifted customer credit risk to the financier, as lessor, by providing in the master lease agreement that we have no liability for payment of rent except in certain enumerated circumstances, including in the event we are in breach of the Managed Services Agreement between us and the customer.
The duration of the master lease in a Managed Services financing is typically 10 years. The term of the master lease is typically the same as the term of the related Managed Services Agreement, but in some cases the term of the master lease is shorter than that of the Managed Services Agreement.
Our Managed Services deployments typically provide only for warranties of both the efficiency and output of the Energy Server(s), all of which are written in favor of the customer and contained in the operations and maintenance services agreement. These warranties may be measured on a monthly, annual, cumulative or other basis. Managed Services projects typically do not
43


include guaranties above the warranty commitments, but in projects where the customer agreement includes a service payment for our operations and maintenance, that payment is typically proportionate to the output generated by the Energy Server(s) and our pricing assumes service revenues at the 95% output level. This means that our service revenues may be lower than expected if output is less than 95% and higher if output exceeds 95%. As of June 30, 2020, we had incurred no liabilities due to failure to repair or replace our Energy Servers pursuant to these warranties and the fleet of our Energy Servers deployed pursuant to the Managed Services Program was performing at a lifetime average output of approximately 87%.
Power Purchase Agreement Programs
          BE-20200630_G4.JPG
*Under the Third Party PPA arrangements, there is no link with an investment company, as we do not have an equity investment in these arrangements.
Under our PPA Programs, we sell our Energy Servers to an Operating Company, which sells the electricity generated by the Energy Servers to the ultimate end customers pursuant to a PPA, energy services agreement, or similar contract. Because the end customer's payment is stated on a dollar-per-kilowatt-hour basis, we refer to these agreements as Power Purchase Agreements ("PPAs"). Currently, our offerings for PPA Programs primarily include our Third-Party PPA Programs pursuant to which we recognize revenue on acceptance. Through 2017, as part of our PPA Programs, we had also offered the Bloom Electrons Program, which included an equity investment by us in the Operating Company and in which we recognized revenue as the electricity was produced. For further discussion on our Bloom Electrons Programs, see Note 13, Power Purchase Agreement Programs, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements.
In our PPA Program, we enter into an Energy Server sales, operations and maintenance agreement ("EPC and O&M Agreement") with the Operating Company that will own the Energy Servers. The Operating Company then enters into the PPA with the end customer which purchases electricity generated by the Energy Servers. The Operating Company receives all cash flows generated under the PPA(s), in addition to all investment tax credits, all accelerated tax depreciation benefits, and any other cash flows generated by the operation of the Energy Servers not allocated to the end customer under the PPA.
The sales of our Energy Servers to the Operating Company in connection with the various PPA Programs have many of the same terms and conditions as a direct sale. Payment of the purchase price is generally broken down into multiple installments, which may include payments prior to shipment, upon shipment or delivery of the Energy Server, and upon acceptance of the Energy Server. Acceptance typically occurs when the Energy Server is installed and running at full power as
44


defined in the applicable EPC and O&M Agreement. A one-year service warranty is provided with the initial sale. After the expiration of the initial standard one-year warranty, the Operating Company has the option to extend our operations and maintenance services under the EPC and O&M Agreement on an annual basis at a price determined at the time of purchase of our Energy Server, which may be renewed annually for each Energy Server for up to 30 years. After the standard one-year warranty period, the Operating Company has almost always exercised the option to renew our operations and maintenance obligations under the EPC and O&M Agreement.
We typically provide output warranties and output guaranties to the Operating Company pursuant to the applicable EPC and O&M Agreement with the Operating Company. The end customer agreement between the Operating Company and the end customer also provides efficiency warranties and efficiency guaranties to the end user, and we provide a backstop of all of the Operating Company’s obligations under those agreements, including both the repair or replacement obligations pursuant to the warranties and any payment liabilities under the guaranties.
As of June 30, 2020, we had incurred no liabilities due to failure to repair or replace Energy Servers pursuant to these warranties. Our obligation to make payments for underperformance against the performance guaranties for PPA Program projects was capped at an aggregate total of approximately $106.5 million (including payments both for low output and for low efficiency) and our aggregate remaining potential liability under this cap was approximately $101.4 million.
Obligations to Operating Companies
In addition to our obligations to the end customers, our PPA Programs involve many obligations to the Operating Company that purchases our Energy Servers. These obligations are set forth in the applicable EPC and O&M Agreement(s), and may include some or all of the following obligations:
designing, manufacturing, and installing the Energy Servers, and selling such Energy Servers to the Operating Company,
obtaining all necessary permits and other governmental approvals necessary for the installation and operation of the Bloom Energy Servers, and maintaining such permits and approvals throughout the term of the EPC and O&M Agreements,
operating and maintaining the Bloom Energy Servers in compliance with all applicable laws, permits and regulations,
satisfying the efficiency and output warranties set forth in such EPC and O&M Agreements and the PPAs ("performance warranties"), and
complying with any specific requirements contained in the PPAs with individual end-customers.
The EPC and O&M Agreements obligate us to repurchase the Energy Servers in the event the Energy Servers fail to comply with the performance warranties and in the event we otherwise breach the terms of the applicable EPC and O&M Agreements and we fail to remedy such failure or breach after a cure period, or in the event that a PPA terminates as a result of any failure by us to comply with the applicable EPC and O&M Agreements. In some PPA Program projects, our obligation to repurchase Energy Servers extends to the entire fleet of Energy Servers sold pursuant to the applicable EPC and O&M Agreements in the event such failure affects more than a specified number of Energy Servers.
In some PPA Programs, we have also agreed to pay liquidated damages to the applicable Operating Company in the event of delays in the manufacture and installation of our Energy Servers, either in the form of a cash payment or a reduction in the purchase price for the applicable Energy Servers.
Both the upfront purchase price for our Energy Servers and the ongoing fees for our operations and maintenance are paid on a fixed dollar-per-kilowatt basis.
Indemnification of Performance Warranty Expenses Under PPAs - In addition to the performance warranties and guaranties in the EPC and O&M Agreements, we also have agreed to indemnify certain Operating Companies for any expenses they incur to any of the end customers resulting from failures of the applicable Energy Servers to satisfy any of the performance warranties and guaranties set forth in the applicable PPAs.
Administration of Operating Companies - In each of the Bloom Electrons programs, we perform certain administrative services on behalf of the applicable Operating Company, including invoicing the end customers for amounts owed under the PPAs, administering the cash receipts of the Operating Company in accordance with the requirements of the financing arrangements, interfacing with applicable regulatory agencies, and other similar obligations. We are compensated for these services on a fixed dollar-per-kilowatt basis.
45


The Operating Company in each of the Bloom Electrons Programs (other than PPA I) has incurred debt in order to finance the acquisition of Energy Servers. The lenders for these projects are a combination of banks and/or institutional investors. In each case, the debt is secured by all of the assets of the applicable Operating Company, such assets being primarily comprised of the Energy Servers and a collateral assignment of each of the contracts to which the Operating Company is a party, including the O&M Agreement entered into with us and the off take agreements entered into with the Operating Company’s customers, and is senior to all other debt obligations of the Operating Company. As further collateral, the lenders receive a security interest in 100% of the membership interest of the Operating Company. However, as is typical in structured finance transactions of this nature, although the project debt is secured by all of the Operating Company’s assets, the lenders have no recourse to us or to any of the other equity investors in the project. The applicable debt agreements include provisions that implement a customary “payment waterfall” that dictates the priority in which the Operating Company will use its available funds to satisfy its payment obligations to us, the lenders, the tax equity investors and other third parties.
We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary in the PPA Entities, subject to reassessments performed as a result of upgrade transactions (see Note 13, Power Purchase Agreement Programs, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements.) Accordingly, we consolidate 100% of the assets, liabilities and operating results of these entities, including the Energy Servers and lease income, in our consolidated financial statements. We recognize the tax equity investors’ share of the net assets of the investment entities as noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We recognize the amounts that are contractually payable to these investors in each period as distributions to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interest, stockholders' deficit and noncontrolling interest. Our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows reflect cash received from these investors as proceeds from investments by noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. Our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows also reflect cash paid to these investors as distributions paid to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. We reflect any unpaid distributions to these investors as distributions payable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, the PPA Entities are separate and distinct legal entities, and Bloom Energy Corporation may not receive cash or other distributions from the PPA Entities except in certain limited circumstances and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, such as compliance with applicable debt service coverage ratios and the achievement of a targeted internal rate of return to the tax equity investors, or otherwise.
For further information about our PPA Programs, see Note 13, Power Purchase Agreement Programs, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements.
Delivery and Installation
The timing of delivery and installations of our products have a significant impact on the timing of the recognition of product and installation revenue. Many factors can cause a lag between the time that a customer signs a purchase order and our recognition of product revenue. These factors include the number of Energy Servers installed per site, local permitting and utility requirements, environmental, health and safety requirements, weather, and customer facility construction schedules. Many of these factors are unpredictable and their resolution is often outside of our or our customers’ control. Customers may also ask us to delay an installation for reasons unrelated to the foregoing, including delays in their obtaining financing. Further, due to unexpected delays, deployments may require unanticipated expenses to expedite delivery of materials or labor to ensure the installation meets the timing objectives. These unexpected delays and expenses can be exacerbated in periods in which we deliver and install a larger number of smaller projects. In addition, if even relatively short delays occur, there may be a significant shortfall between the revenue we expect to generate in a particular period and the revenue that we are able to recognize. For our installations, revenue and cost of revenue can fluctuate significantly on a periodic basis depending on the timing of acceptance and the type of financing used by the customer. As described in the Power Purchase Agreement Programs section above, we offered the Bloom Electrons purchase program through the end of 2016 and no longer offer this financing structure to potential customers.
International Channel Partners
Prior to 2018, we consummated a small number of sales outside the United States, including in India and Japan.
India. 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.
Japan. 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 in the United States. 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.
46


The Republic of Korea. In 2018, Bloom Energy Japan consummated a sale of Energy Servers in the Republic of Korea to Korea South-East Power Company. Following this sale, we entered into a Preferred Distributor Agreement with SK Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. ("SK E&C") to enable us to sell directly into the Republic of Korea.
Under our agreement with SK E&C, SK E&C has a right of first refusal during the term of the agreement, with certain exceptions, to serve as distributor of Energy Servers for any fuel cell generation project in the Republic of Korea, and we have the right of first refusal to serve as SK E&C’s supplier of generation equipment for any Bloom Energy fuel cell project in the Republic of Korea. Under the terms of each purchase order, title, risk of loss and acceptance of the Energy Servers pass from us to SK E&C upon delivery at the named port of lading for shipment in the United States for the Energy Servers shipped in 2018 and thereafter upon delivery at the named port of unlading in the Republic of Korea, prior to unloading subject to final purchase order terms. The Preferred Distributor Agreement has an initial term expiring on December 31, 2021, and thereafter will automatically be renewed for three-year renewal terms unless either party terminates this agreement by prior written notice under certain circumstances.
Under the terms of the Preferred Distributor Agreement, we (or our subsidiary) contract directly with the customer to provide operations and maintenance services for the Energy Servers. We have established a subsidiary in the Republic of Korea, Bloom Energy Korea, LLC, to which we subcontract such operations and maintenance services. The terms of the operations and maintenance are negotiated on a case-by-case basis with each customer, but are generally expected to provide the customer with the option to receive services for at least 10 years, and for up to the life of the Energy Servers.
SK E&C Joint Venture Agreement. In September 2019, we entered into a joint venture agreement with SK E&C to establish a light-assembly facility in the Republic of Korea for sales of certain portions of our Energy Server for the stationary utility and commercial and industrial market in the Republic of Korea. The joint venture is majority controlled and managed by us. We expect the facility to be operational by mid-2020 subject to the completion of certain conditions precedent to the establishment of the joint venture company. Other than a nominal initial capital contribution by Bloom, the joint venture will be funded by SK E&C. SK E&C, who currently acts as a distributor for our Energy Servers for the stationary utility and commercial and industrial market in the Republic of Korea, will be the primary customer for the products assembled by the joint venture.
Community Distributed Generation Programs
In July 2015, the state of New York introduced its Community Distributed Generation program, which extends New York’s net metering program in order to allow utility customers to receive net metering credits for electricity generated by distributed generation assets located on the utility’s grid but not physically connected to the customer’s facility. This program allows for the use of multiple generation technologies, including fuel cells.
In December 2019, we entered into fuel cell sales, installation, operations and maintenance agreements with two developers for the deployment of fuel cells pursuant to this Community Distributed Generation program. These agreements have many of the same terms and conditions as a direct sale. Payment of the purchase price is generally broken down into multiple installments, which may include payments prior to shipment, upon shipment or delivery of the Energy Server, and upon acceptance of the Energy Server. Acceptance typically occurs when the Energy Server is installed and running at full power as defined in each contract. A one-year service warranty is provided with the initial sale. After the expiration of the initial standard one-year warranty, the owner has the option to renew our operations and maintenance services for subsequent quarterly or annual periods for up to 30 years. We provide warranties and guaranties regarding both efficiency and output to the owners of the Energy Servers pursuant to the operations and maintenance services agreement with the Operating Company.
As of June 30, 2020, we had not yet completed the sale of any Energy Servers in connection with the New York Community Distributed Generation program.
Key Operating Metrics
In addition to the measures presented in the condensed 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.
Billings for product accepted in the period - the total contracted dollar amount of the product component of all Energy Servers that are accepted in a period. We use this metric to gauge the dollar value of the product acceptances and to evaluate the change in dollar amount of acceptances between periods.
47


Billings for installation on product accepted in the period - the total contracted dollar amount billable with respect to the installation component of all Energy Servers that are accepted. We use this metric to gauge the dollar value of the installations of our product acceptances and to evaluate the change in dollar value associated with the installation of our product acceptances between periods.
Billings for annual maintenance service agreements - the dollar amount billable for one-year service contracts that have been initiated or renewed. We use this metric to measure the cumulative billings for all service contracts in any given period. As our installation base grows, we expect our billings for annual maintenance service agreements to grow, as well.
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, such as stock-based compensation) into inventory and therefore, expensed to our condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period that they are incurred.
Installation 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, 2020 and 2019
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 periods were as follows:

Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased $35.9 million, or 39.2%, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. Included as a component of total operating expenses, stock-based compensation expenses decreased approximately $26.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was primarily attributable to a lower stock-based compensation charge attributed to a one-time employee grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") awarded prior to IPO with a performance condition of an IPO of the Company's securities. These RSUs have a two-year vesting period starting on the day of IPO and were issued as an employee retention vehicle to bring our stock-based compensation in line with our peer group. These RSUs completed their vesting in July of 2020, and stock-based compensation charge associated with these RSUs decreased quarter-over-quarter until the final vesting date. In addition to the one-time grant, stock-based compensation expense includes some previously granted RSUs with vesting beginning upon the completion of our IPO. Total operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, decreased approximately $8.9 million, or 17.6%, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $3.1 billion. We have financed our operations, including the costs of acquisition and installation of our Energy Servers, mainly through a variety of financing arrangements and PPA Entities, credit facilities from banks, sales of our common stock, debt financings and cash generated from our operations. As of June 30, 2020, we had $416.0 million of total outstanding recourse debt, $229.7 million of non-recourse debt and $27.3 million of other long-term liabilities. See Note 7, Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements for a complete description of our outstanding debt. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $144.1 million and $202.8 million, respectively.
In March 2020, we successfully extended the maturity of our outstanding 10% Convertible Notes, our 10% Constellation Note and additionally entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $70.0 million of 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 in a private placement that was subsequently completed on May 1, 2020. The combination of our existing cash and cash equivalents, the extension of the 10% Convertible Notes to December 2021, the conversion of the 10% Constellation Note in May 2020, and the proceeds from the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes are expected to be sufficient to meet our operational and capital cash flow requirements and other cash flow needs and we do not expect that it will be necessary to access capital markets for cash to operate our business for the next 12 months. If the impact of COVID-19 to our business and financial position is more extensive than expected, we may access capital markets opportunistically to continue to improve our capital structure and to address outstanding debt principal repayments that are due in December 2021 if market conditions are favorable. As of June 30, 2020, the current portion of our total debt is $26.1 million.
For additional information refer to Note 7, Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements, in Item 1, Financial Statements.
Additionally, the impact of COVID-19 on our ability to execute our business strategy and on our financial position and results of operation is uncertain.Our future cash flow 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 including the impact of COVID-19 on our future operations, as described in the COVID-19 Pandemic section above. We do not expect to receive significant cash distributions from our PPA Entities. For additional information refer to Note 13, Power Purchase Agreement Programs, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements.

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.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $40.2 million and was primarily the result of net cash loss of $44.3 million partially offset the net decrease in working capital of $4.1 million. Net cash loss is primarily comprised of a net loss of $129.6 million, adjusted for non-cash benefit items including: (i) depreciation and amortization of $25.9 million; (ii) impairment of equity method investment of $4.2 million; (iii) a loss on revaluation of derivative contracts of $0.1 million; (iv) stock-based compensation of $41.7 million; and (v) net loss on extinguishment of debt of $14.1 million; net of (vi) recovery of debt issuance cost of $0.5 million. Net cash provided by changes in working capital consisted primarily of decreases in: (i) customer financing receivable and other of $2.5 million; (ii) prepaid expenses and other current assets of $7.3 million; plus increases in: (iii) accounts payable of $8.8 million; (iv) accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $13.7 million; and (v) deferred revenue and customer deposits of $2.9 million. These sources of cash from working capital were mostly offset by increases in: (i) accounts receivable of $11.8 million; (ii) inventories of $3.5 million; (iii) deferred cost of revenue of $10.0 million; and (iii) other long-term assets of $3.6 million; plus a decrease in: (iv) other long-term liabilities of $2.1 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $103.6 million and was the result of net cash earnings of $7.7 million plus net decrease in working capital of $95.9 million. Net cash earnings is primarily comprised of a net loss of $195.7 million, adjusted for non-cash benefit items including: (i) depreciation and amortization of approximately $37.0 million; (ii) write-off of property, plant and equipment, net of $2.7 million; (iii) Write-off of PPA II decommissioned assets of 25.6 million; (iv) debt make-whole payment reclassification of $5.9 million; (v) revaluation of derivatives contracts of $1.6 million; (vi) stock-based compensation of $119.2 million; and (vii) amortization of debt issuance cost of $11.3 million. Net cash provided by changes in working capital consisted primarily of decreases in: (i) accounts receivable of $49.7 million; (ii) inventory of $22.2 million; (iii) customer financing receivable and other of $2.7 million; and (iv) prepaid expenses and other current assets of $10.2 million; plus increases in: (v) accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $5.6 million; (vi) deferred revenue and customer deposits of $51.9 million; and (vi) other long term liabilities of $4.7 million. These sources of cash from working capital were partially offset by increases in: (i) deferred cost of revenue of $38.8 million; and (ii) other long-term assets of $0.3 million; plus decreases in: (iii) accounts payable of $5.5 million; and (iv) accrued warranty of $6.7 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $19.6 million entirely related to the purchase of long-lived assets.
Net cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $79.9 million, which was primarily the result of net proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $104.5 million, partially offset by $24.6 million used for the purchase of long-lived assets.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $6.5 million which included borrowings from issuance of debt of $70.0 million, borrowings from issuance of debt to related parties of $30.0 million and proceeds from issuance of common stock of $5.2 million. This was partially offset by repayment of debt of $84.4 million, debt issuance costs of $3.4 million, repayment of financing obligations of $5.1 million, and distributions paid to our PPA Equity Investors of $5.8 million.
Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $92.9 million and resulted primarily from distributions paid to our PPA Equity Investors of $7.8 million, and repayments of long-term debt of $85.2 million, the debt make-whole payment reclassification of $5.9 million, payments to noncontrolling and redeemable noncontrolling interests of $18.7 million, and distributions to noncontrolling and redeemable noncontrolling interests of $7.8 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $8.3 million and the net proceeds from financing obligations of $16.3 million.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Recourse Debt Facilities
LIBOR + 4% Term Loan due November 2020 - The weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 4.5% and 6.3%, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the unpaid principal balance of debt outstanding was $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and we are in compliance with all covenants.
10% Constellation Convertible Promissory Note due 2021 - On March 31, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Subordinated Secured Convertible Note Modification Agreement (the “Constellation Note Modification Agreement”) which amended the terms of the 5% Constellation Note to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2021 and increased the interest rate from 5% to 10% ("10% Constellation Note"). We further amended the 10% Constellation Note by reducing the strike price on the conversion feature from $38.64 per share to $8.00 per share.
When we evaluated the Constellation Note Modification Agreement in accordance with ASC 470-60, Debt - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors, and 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments, we concluded that the amendment did not constitute a troubled debt restructuring and, furthermore, the amendment qualified as a substantial modification as a result of the increase in the fair value of the conversion feature due to the reduced strike price. As a result, on March 31, 2020, the 10% Constellation Note, which consisted of $33.1 million in principal and $3.8 million in accrued and unpaid interest, was extinguished and the 10% Constellation Note was recorded at their fair market value which equaled $40.7 million. The difference between the fair market value of the 10% Constellation Note and the carrying value of the 5% Constellation Note of $3.8 million was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
On June 18, 2020, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. exchanged their entire 10% Constellation Note at the conversion price of $8.00 per share into 4.7 million shares of Class A common stock. At the time of this exchange the unamortized premium of $3.4 million was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
10% Convertible Promissory Notes due December 2021 - On March 31, 2020, we entered into an Amendment Support Agreement (the “Amendment Support Agreement”) with the noteholders of our outstanding 6% Convertible Notes pursuant to which such Noteholders agreed to extend the maturity date of the outstanding 6% Convertible Notes to December 1, 2021 and increase the interest rate from 6% to 10%, ("10% Convertible Notes"). Additionally, the debt is convertible at the option of the Noteholders into common stock at any time through the maturity date and we further amended the 10% Convertible Notes by reducing the strike price on the conversion feature from $11.25 to $8.00 per share. In conjunction with entering into the
62


Amendment Support Agreement, on March 31, 2020, we also entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “10% Convertible Note Purchase Agreement”) and issued an additional $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Convertible Notes to Foris Ventures, LLC, a new Noteholder and New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership, an existing Noteholder. The 10% Convertible Notes and the $30.0 million new 10% Convertible Notes were all reflected in the Amended and Restated Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association dated April 20, 2020. The Amendment Support Agreement required that we repay at least $70.0 million of the 10% Convertible Notes on or before September 1, 2020. In return, collateral was released to support the collateral required under the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes, and 50% of the proceeds from the consummation of certain transactions, including equity offerings or additional indebtedness, will be applied to redeem the 10% Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 10% Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a certain percentage, determined based on the time of redemption of the aggregate sum of all discounted remaining scheduled interest payments. The discount rate to determine the present value would decrease, creating a redemption penalty, if redemption were to occur after October 21, 2020. On May 1, 2020, we repaid $70.0 million of the 10% Convertible Notes and accrued and unpaid interest and recorded an adjustment to the unamortized debt premium of $4.3 million.
We evaluated the Amendment Support Agreement in accordance with ASC 470-60, Debt - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors, and 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments, and concluded that the amendment did not constitute a troubled debt restructuring and, furthermore, the amendment qualified as a substantial modification as a result of the increase in the fair value of the conversion feature due to the reduced strike price. As a result, on March 31, 2020, we recorded a $10.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, which was calculated as the difference between the reacquisition price of the 6% Convertible Notes and the carrying value of the 6% Convertible Notes. The total carrying value of the 6% Convertible Notes equaled $279.0 million which consisted of $289.3 million in principal and $1.4 million in accrued and unpaid interest reduced by $10.7 million in unamortized discount and $1.0 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. The total reacquisition price of the 6% Convertible Notes equaled $289.3 million which consisted of the $340.7 million fair value of the 10% Convertible Notes, $1.4 million in accrued and unpaid interest, and $1.2 million of fees paid to Noteholders as part of the amendment, reduced by $24.0 million, the fair value at March 31, 2020 of the embedded derivative relating to the equity classified conversion feature that is reclassified from additional paid-in capital at the time of the extinguishment, $20.0 million cash received from the additional 10% Convertible Notes that were issued to New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership, and the $10.0 million issuance to Foris Ventures, LLC.
The new net carrying amount of the 10% Convertible Notes of $263.4 million, which consists of the $249.3 million principal of the 10% Convertible Notes, $14.1 million net of premium paid for the 10% Convertible Notes and debt issuance costs was classified as non-current as of June 30, 2020. Furthermore, the $14.1 million deemed premium net of debt issuance cost is being amortized over the term of the 10% Convertible Notes using the effective interest method.
10% Notes due July 2024 - The outstanding unpaid principal balance of the 10% Notes of $14.0 million and $14.0 million were classified as current as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and the net carrying amount of the 10% Notes of $69.5 million and $76.0 million were classified as non-current as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The accrued unpaid interest balance on the 10% Notes was $3.6 million and $3.9 million as on June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019respectively.
10.25% Senior Secured Notes due March 2027 - On May 1, 2020, we issued $70.0 million of 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “10.25% Senior Secured Notes”) in a private placement (the “Senior Secured Notes Private Placement”). The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Senior Secured Notes Indenture”) entered into among us, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as trustee and collateral agent. The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes are secured by certain of our operations and maintenance agreements that previously were part of the security for the 6% Convertible Notes. We used the proceeds of this issuance to repay $70.0 million of our 10% Convertible Notes on May 1, 2020. The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes are supported by a $150.0 million indenture between us and US Bank National Association which contains an accordion feature for an additional $80.0 million of notes that can be issued within the next eighteen months.
Interest on the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes is payable on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing June 30, 2020. The 10.25% Senior Secured Notes Indenture contains customary events of default and covenants relating to, among other things, the incurrence of new debt, affiliate transactions, liens and restricted payments. On or after March 27, 2022, we may redeem all of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes at a price equal to 108% of the principal amount of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, with such optional redemption prices decreasing to 104% on and after March 27, 2023, 102% on and after March 27, 2024 and 100% on and after March 27, 2026. Before March 27, 2022, we may redeem the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes upon repayment of a make-whole premium. If we experience a change
63


of control, we must offer to purchase for cash all or any part of each holder’s 10.25% Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The outstanding unpaid principal of the 10.25% Senior Secured Notes of $70.0 million was classified as non-current as of June 30, 2020.
Non-recourse Debt Facilities
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 our 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 $3.8 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and which was included as part of long-term restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The loan is secured by all assets of PPA IIIa.
6.07% Senior Secured Notes due March 2025 - The notes bear a fixed interest rate of 6.07% per annum 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 $8.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and $8.0 million as of December 31, 2019, and which was included as part of long-term restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The notes are secured by all the assets of the PPA IV.
LIBOR + 2.5% Term Loan due December 2021 - The outstanding debt balance of the Term Loan of $5.3 million and $5.1 million were classified as current and $113.2 million and $115.3 million were classified as non-current as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
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. For the Lenders’ commitments to the loan and the commitments to the LC loan, the PPA V also pays commitment fees at 0.50% per annum over the outstanding commitments, paid quarterly. The loan is secured by all the assets of the PPA V and requires quarterly principal payments which began in March 2017. In connection with the floating-rate credit agreement, in July 2015 PPA V entered into pay-fixed, receive-float interest rate swap agreements to convert its floating-rate loan into a fixed-rate loan.
Letters of Credit due December 2021 - In June 2015, PPA V entered into a $131.2 million term loan due December 2021. The agreement also included commitments to a LC facility with the aggregate principal amount of $6.4 million, later adjusted down to $6.2 million. The amount reserved under the letter of credit as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $5.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The unused capacity as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We include in our condensed consolidated financial statements all assets and liabilities and results of operations of our PPA Entities that we have entered into and over which we have substantial control. For additional information, see Note 13, Power Purchase Agreement Programs, in Item 1, Financial Statements.
We have not entered into any other transactions that have generated relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships or special purpose entities. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
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 year ended December 31, 2020. 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, 2019 for a more complete discussion of the market risks we encounter.

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 that we file or submit under the 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 (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal 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, 2020. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weakness described below.
Material Weakness
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We identified a material weakness, whereby we did not design and maintain an effective control environment with a sufficient complement of resources with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, expertise and training to evaluate the accounting for and disclosure of complex or non-routine transactions commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. This material weakness resulted in errors in the accounting for certain transactions, which resulted in a restatement of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and revisions to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 and as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. This material weakness will also result in revisions to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, when those periods are next reported.
Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of substantially all account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Activities
We are currently in the process of remediating the material weakness and have taken and continue to take steps that we believe will address the underlying causes of the material weakness, which resulted from an insufficient complement of resources with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, expertise and training to evaluate the accounting for and disclosure of complex or non-routine transactions commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Steps we are taking include increasing the use of qualified internal and third-party technical resources with accounting expertise on complex or non-routine transactions who are providing accounting interpretation guidance to assist us in identifying and addressing any issues that affect our consolidated financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
For a discussion of legal proceedings, see "Legal Matters" under Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies, in Part I, Item 1, 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
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” before you decide to purchase our securities. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond our control, and 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 part of your investment.
This Risk Factor section is divided by topic for ease of reference as follows: Risks Relating to Our Business, Industry and Sales; Risks Related to Our Products and Manufacturing; Risks Relating to Government Incentive Programs; Risks Related to Legal Matters and Regulations; Risks Relating to Our Intellectual Property; Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition and Operating Results; Risks Related to Our Liquidity; Risks Related to Our Operations; and Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock.
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 or our company 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 distributed generation 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
67


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.
These lengthy sales and installation cycles increase the risk that an installation may be delayed and/or 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, delays or unanticipated costs in securing interconnection approvals or necessary utility infrastructure, 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 expand our offerings to customers who lack the financial capability to purchase our Energy Servers directly (including customers who are unable to monetize the tax credits available to purchasers of our Energy Servers) 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 and PPA Programs. In addition to the Traditional Lease model, we also offer PPA Programs, including Third-Party PPAs, in which financing the cost of the Energy Server is provided by an Operating Company and funded by 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, interest rate and/or currency exchange fluctuations, 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. Additionally, the Managed Services and Traditional Lease 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.
Further, our sales process for transactions that require financing require that we make certain assumptions regarding the cost of financing capital. Actual financing costs may vary from our estimates due to factors outside of our control, including changes in customer creditworthiness, macroeconomic factors, the returns offered by other investment opportunities available to our financing partners, and other factors. If the cost of financing ultimately exceeds our estimates, we may be unable to proceed with some or all of the impacted projects or our revenue from such projects may be less than our estimates.
If we are unable to procure financing partners willing to finance such deployments or if the cost of such financing exceeds our estimates, our business would be negatively impacted.
The economic benefits of our Energy Servers to our customers depend 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 energy sources. The economic benefit of our Energy Servers to our customers
68


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 or regulatory authorities may impose “departing load,” “standby,” power factor charges, greenhouse gas emissions charges, or other charges on our customers in connection with their acquisition or use 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 rates offered by local electric utilities and/or in the applicability or amounts of charges and other fees imposed or incentives granted 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 (e.g., as a consequence of physical limitations or adverse regulatory conditions for the delivery of production of natural gas) or the inability to obtain natural gas service could make our Energy Servers less economically attractive to potential customers and reduce demand.
We rely on interconnection requirements and 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 and fees, interconnection agreements and net metering requirements are subject to changes in availability and terms and some jurisdictions do not allow interconnections or export at all. 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 on in which we anticipate expanding into in the future could adversely affect the demand for our Energy Servers. For example, in California, changes are expected in the eligibility requirements for the net metering tariffs
applicable to fuel cells that are currently in effect from investor-owned utilities. Although we are and will continue to remain
an active participant in regulatory proceedings addressing such requirements, we cannot predict the outcome of the
proceedings.
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; customer incumbency advantages; access to and influence with local and state governments; and 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.
69


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 year ended December 31, 2019, two customers, The Southern Company and SK E&C accounted for approximately 34% and 23% of our total revenue, respectively. A unit of The Southern Company wholly owns a Third-Party PPA, and that entity purchases Energy Servers which 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 would materially and adversely affect our business results.
Our ability to develop new products and enter into new markets could be negatively impacted if we are unable to identify partners to assist in such development or expansion.
We continue to develop products for emerging markets and, as we move into those markets, we may need to identify new business partners in order to facilitate such development and expansion. Identifying new business and development partners is a lengthy process and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties. If we are unable to identify reliable partners in a new market or are unable to negotiate mutually-acceptable terms to form the basis of new partnership arrangements, our ability to expand our business could be limited and our financial conditions and results of operations could be harmed
Risks Relating to Our Products and Manufacturing
Our business has been and will continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
We have been and will continue monitoring and adjusting as appropriate our operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a technology company that supplies resilient, reliable and clean energy, we have been able to conduct the majority of operations as an “essential business” in California and Delaware, where we manufacture and perform many of our R&D activities, as well as in other states and countries where we are installing or maintaining our Energy Servers, notwithstanding government “shelter in place” orders. For the safety of our employees and others, many of our employees are still working from home unless they are directly supporting essential manufacturing production operations, installation work, service and maintenance activities and R&D. We have established protocols to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission within our facilities, including enhanced cleaning, and temperature screenings upon entry. In addition, all individuals entering Bloom facilities are required to wear face coverings and are directed not to enter if they have COVID-19-like symptoms. We follow all CDC guidelines when notified of possible exposures. Even with these precautions, it is possible an asymptomatic individual could enter our facilities and transmit the virus to others.
If we become aware of any cases of COVID-19 among any of our employees, we notify those with whom the person is known to have been in contact, send the exposed employees home for at least 14 days and require each employee to be tested negative before returning to work. We have had a couple of positive cases to date. Certain roles within our facilities involve greater mobility throughout our facilities and potential exposure to more employees. In the event one of such employees suffers from COVID-19, or if we otherwise believe that a significant number of employees have been exposed and sent home, particularly in our manufacturing facilities, our production could be significantly impacted. Furthermore, since our manufacturing process involves tasks performed at both our California facility and Delaware facility, significant exposure at either facility would have a substantial impact on our overall production, and in such case, our cash flow and results of operations including revenue will be adversely affected.
We have experienced COVID 19-related delays from certain vendors and suppliers, which, in turn, could cause delays in the manufacturing and installation of our Energy Servers and adversely impact our cash flows and results of operations including revenue. To date, we have been able to offset any issues with alternative suppliers, but in the future, it may not be possible to find replacement products or supplies, and ongoing delays could affect our business and growth. For example, particular suppliers on which we rely were shut down, and we were not able to obtain the needed parts. While we have identified and qualified alternative suppliers for these parts, we may experience future disruptions in the availability or price of these or other parts, and we cannot guarantee that we will succeed in finding alternate suppliers that are able to meet our needs. In addition, international air and sea logistics systems have been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Air carriers have significantly reduced their passenger and air freight capacity, and many ports are either temporarily closed or have reduced their hours of operation. Actions by government agencies may further restrict the operations of freight carriers, which would negatively impact our ability to receive the parts and supplies we need to manufacture our Energy Servers or to deliver them to our customers.
70


We also rely on third party financing for our customers’ purchases of our Energy Servers. If third party financiers experience liquidity problems or elect to suspend or cancel investments in our projects, we may be unable to secure financing for our customer purchases, which in turn would impact our ability to deploy our Energy Servers and impact our cash flows and results of operations, including revenue. We believe the current environment may also increase the time to solidify new relationships which could impact the time required to achieve funding. Our ability to obtain financing for our Energy Servers also partly depends on the creditworthiness of our customers. Some of our current and prospective customers’ credit ratings have recently fallen, which may make it difficult for us to obtain financing for their use of an Energy Server. For current customers whose Energy Servers are not yet installed, an inability to obtain financing may impact our cash flows and results of operations including revenue. For prospective customers, it may decrease demand for our Energy Servers if financing is not available in light of their credit. If our customers cannot obtain financing to purchase our Energy Servers, our cash flow and results of operations including revenue will be adversely affected. Although the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability to obtain financing for our customers’ use of our Energy Servers has not yet had a significant impact on our business, delays in obtaining financing for our Energy Servers would lead to a decrease in our cash flows and results of operations, including revenue. Furthermore, in cases where the inability to obtain financing only becomes apparent after we have installed an Energy Server, there would be no offsetting decrease in our expenses.
Our installation and maintenance operations have also been, and will continue to be, adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, our installation projects have experienced delays and may continue to experience delays relating to, among other things, shortages in available labor for design, installation and other work; the inability or delay in our ability to access customer facilities due to shutdowns or other restrictions; the decreased productivity of our general contractors, their sub-contractors, medium-voltage electrical gear suppliers, and the wide range of engineering and construction related specialist suppliers on whom we rely for successful and timely installations; the stoppage of work by gas and electric utilities on which we are critically dependent for hook ups; and the unavailability of necessary civil and utility inspections as well as the review of our permit submissions and issuance of permits by multiple authorities that have jurisdiction over our activities. As to maintenance, if we are delayed in or unable to perform scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, our previously-installed Energy Servers will likely experience adverse performance impacts including reduced output and/or efficiency, which could result in warranty and/or guaranty claims by our customers. Further, due to the nature of our Energy Servers, if we are unable to replace worn parts in accordance with our standard maintenance schedule, we may be subject to increased costs in the future. These adverse impacts may increase in severity or continue indefinitely, including following the lifting of “shelter in place” orders.
We are not the only business impacted by these shortages and delays, which means that we may in the future face increased competition for scarce resources, which may result in continuing delays or increases in the cost of obtaining such services, including increased labor costs and/or fees to expedite permitting. In addition, while construction activities have to date been deemed “essential business” and allowed to proceed in many jurisdictions, we have experienced interruptions and delays caused by confusion related to exemptions for “essential business” among our suppliers and their sub-contractors and the relevant permitting utilities. Future changes in applicable government orders or regulations, or changes in the interpretation of existing orders or regulations, could result in reductions in the scope of permitted construction activities or prohibitions on such activities. An inability to install our Energy Servers would negatively impact our acceptances, and thereby impact our cash flows and results of operations, including revenue.
We cannot predict with certainty at this time the full extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business, cash flows and results of operations including revenue. It will depend on many factors. These include, among others, the extent of harm to public health, the willingness of our employees to travel and work in our manufacturing facilities and at our service and installation sites even if permitted to do so, the disruption to the global economy and to our supply base and potential customer base, and impacts on liquidity and the availability of capital. We are staying in close communication with our manufacturing facilities, employees, customers, suppliers and partners, and acting to mitigate the impact of this dynamic and evolving situation, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.
71


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.
In order for us to expand internationally, we have entered into joint venture agreements that have allowed us to add manufacturing capability outside of 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 introduce defects into our products. Also, as we grow our manufacturing volume, the chance of manufacturing defects could increase. In addition, design changes made for the purpose of cost reduction, performance improvement, fulfilling new customer requirements or improved reliability could introduce new design defects that may impact Energy Server performance and life. Any design or manufacturing defects or other failures of our Energy Servers to perform as expected could cause us to incur significant service and 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.
72


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 or environmental factors such as smoke from wild fires, 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 service and 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.
If our estimates of the useful life for our Energy Servers are inaccurate or we do not meet service and performance warranties and guaranties, or is 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 30 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 useful life of our Energy Servers and their components, including assumptions regarding improvements in power module 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.
As of June 30, 2020, we had a total of 34 megawatts in total deployed early generation servers, including our first and second generation servers, out of our total acceptances, net, of 506 megawatts. None of these early generation servers are recognized as our property, plant and equipment. We expect that our deployed early generation Energy Servers, if not upgraded with our more current generation power modules, 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 with respect to those servers. Further, the Energy Servers held on our consolidated financial statements, including those acquired through our Managed Services and PPA programs, could be impaired or have their useful life shortened in the future if adequate maintenance services are not performed or if a determination is made to upgrade the Energy 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 except where a third party is responsible for installation (such as in our sales in South Korea), our financial results depend 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
73


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 depends on the availability of and timely connection to the natural gas grid and the local electric grid. In some jurisdictions, local utility companies or the municipality have denied our request for connection or have required us to reduce the size of certain projects. In addition, some municipalities have recently adopted restrictions that prohibit any new construction that allows for the use of natural gas. For more information regarding these restrictions, please see the risk factor entitled "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." 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.
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 our 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 may not meet our expectations and standards in the future.
Any significant disruption in the operations at our manufacturing facilities could delay the production of our Energy Servers, which would harm our business and results of operations.
We manufacture our Energy Servers in a limited number of manufacturing facilities, any of which could become unavailable either temporarily or permanently for any number of reasons, including equipment failure, material supply, public health emergencies or catastrophic weather or geologic events. For example, several of our manufacturing facilities are located in an area prone to earthquakes. In the event of a significant disruption to our manufacturing process, we may not be able to easily shift production to other facilities or to make up for lost production, which could result in harm to our reputation, increased costs, and lower revenues.
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 are 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
74


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 have in the past and may in the future 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, public health emergencies such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic, 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 time frames, 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.
Our ability to develop new products and enter into new markets could be negatively impacted if we are unable to identify suppliers to deliver new materials and components on a timely basis.
We continue to develop products for emerging markets and, as we move into those markets, must qualify new suppliers to manufacture and deliver the necessary components required to build and install those new products. Identifying new manufacturing partners is a lengthy process and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties. If we are unable to identify reliable manufacturing partners in a new market, our ability to expand our business could be limited and our financial conditions and results of operations could be harmed.
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 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.
75


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.
To the extent practicable, given the limitations in supply chain previously discussed, 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.
A failure to properly comply (or to comply properly) with foreign trade zone laws and regulations could increase the cost of our duties and tariffs.
We have established two foreign trade zones, one in California and one in Delaware, through qualification with U.S. Customs, and are approved for "zone to zone" transfers between our California and Delaware facilities. Materials received in a foreign trade zone are not subject to certain U.S. duties or tariffs until the material enters U.S. commerce. We benefit from the adoption of foreign trade zones by reduced duties, deferral of certain duties and tariffs, and reduced processing fees, which help us realize a reduction in duty and tariff costs. However, the operation of our foreign trade zones requires compliance with applicable regulations and continued support of U.S. Customs with respect to the foreign trade zone program. If we are unable to maintain the qualification of our foreign trade zones, or if foreign trade zones are limited or unavailable to us in the future, our duty and tariff costs would increase, which could have an adverse effect on our business and 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, India, and the Republic of Korea (collectively, our "Asia Pacific region"), where in some locations such as the Republic of Korea, 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
76


customers. However, these incentives or RPS may expire on 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 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 noted below:
the 30% ITC credit was reinstated retroactive to January 1, 2017;
installations that commenced construction before January 1, 2020 were eligible for a 30% credit;
installations that commence construction in 2020 are eligible for a 26% credit;
installations that commence construction in 2021 are eligible for a 22% credit; and
installations have to be placed in service by January 1, 2024 or the installations become ineligible for the credit.
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. In the case of Energy Servers purchased by PPA Entities, the PPA Entities bear the risk of repayment if the assets placed in service do not meet the ITC operational criteria in the future.
As another example, many of our installations in California interconnect with investor-owned utilities on Fuel Cell Net Energy Metering (“FC NEM”) tariffs. The FC NEM tariffs will not be available for new installations after December 31, 2021 and installations that are currently on FC NEM tariffs will have to meet more stringent standards regarding the emissions of
greenhouse gases that are under development in order to remain eligible for the FC NEM tariffs. Although we are working to
ensure that that an acceptable substitute to FC NEM is put in place prior to December 31, 2021, it is not certain that our efforts
will be successful. If our customers are unable to interconnect under the FC NEM tariffs the costs of interconnection may
increase and such increase may negatively impact demand for our products. Additionally, the uncertainty regarding the
requirements for continued service under the FC NEM tariffs may negatively impact the perceived value or risks of our
products, which may negatively impact demand for our products.”
Changes in federal, state, or local programs or the RPS in the Republic of Korea 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 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 the delivery and installation of our Energy Servers.
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. 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, 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. Additionally, in many cases we contractually commit to performing all necessary installation work on a fixed-price basis, and unanticipated costs associated with environmental remediation and/or compliance expenses may cause the cost of performing such work to exceed our revenue. 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 these 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 (i.e., 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 per liter. A small amount of benzene found in the public natural gas supply (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 relying upon a federal environmental exemption that permitted the handling of such units without manifesting the contents as containing a hazardous waste. Although over the years and with the approval of two states, we believed that we operated under the 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. 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, EPA has asked us to show cause why it should not collect approximately $1.0 million in fines from us for the prior period. In order to put this matter behind us and with no admission of law or fact, we agreed to a consent agreement that was ratified and incorporated by reference into a final order that was entered by an Environmental Appeals Judge for EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board in May of 2020. Additionally, a nominal penalty was paid to a state agency 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.
78


Another example relates to the very small amounts of chromium in hexavalent form ("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 penalties.
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 penalties, 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
79


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 facility ("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. The opposition to the Delaware Project is an example 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 an Energy Server is 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
80


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.
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, Legal Proceedings and Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements. 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 development 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.

In connection with our planned expansion into new markets we may need to develop relationships with new partners,
including project developers and/or financiers who may require access to certain of our intellectual property in order to
mitigate perceived risks regarding our ability to service their projects over the contracted project duration. If we are unable to
come to agreement regarding the terms of such access or find alternative means to address this perceived risk, such failure may
negatively impact our ability to expand into new markets. Alternatively, we may be required to develop new strategies for the
protection of our intellectual property, which may be less protective than our current strategies and could therefore erode our
competitive position.
81


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.
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.
82


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, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $3.1 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;
expanding into new geographical markets and industry market sectors;
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.
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, COVID-19 or such other health emergency, 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, the geographical mix of customer sales, 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 upfront at acceptance;
delays or cancellations of Energy Server installations;
fluctuations in our service costs, particularly due to unexpected 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
83


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.
The accounting treatment related to our revenue-generating transactions is complex, and if we are unable to attract and retain highly qualified accounting personnel to evaluate the accounting implications of our complex or non-routine transactions, our ability to accurately report our financial results may be harmed.
Our revenue-generating transactions include traditional leases, Managed Services Agreements, sales to international channel partners and PPA transactions, all of which are accounted for differently in our financial statements. Many of the accounting rules related to our financing transactions are complex and require experienced and highly skilled personnel to review and interpret the proper accounting treatment with respect thereto. Competition for senior finance and accounting personnel in the San Francisco Bay Area who have public company reporting experience is intense, and if we are unable to recruit and retain personnel with the required level of expertise to evaluate and accurately classify our revenue-producing transactions, our ability to accurately report our financial results may be harmed.
We reached a determination to restate certain of our previously issued consolidated financial statements as a result of the identification of material misstatements in previously issued financial statements, which resulted in unanticipated costs and may affect investor confidence and raise reputational issues.
As discussed in Note 2, Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, we reached a determination to restate our consolidated financial statements for the periods disclosed in that note after misstatements in our accounting treatment of some of our complex or non-routine transactions were identified. The restatement also included corrections for previously identified immaterial uncorrected misstatements in the impacted periods. As a result, we have incurred unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with or related to the restatement, and have become subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, which may affect investor confidence in the accuracy of our
84


financial disclosures and may raise reputational risks for our business, both of which could harm our business and financial results.
We recently identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for and disclosure of complex or non-routine transactions. If we do not effectively remediate the material weakness or if we 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. While we have not yet adopted the requirements under Section 404B of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we did identify a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2019, as we did not design and maintain an effective control environment with a sufficient complement of resources with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, expertise and training to evaluate the accounting for and disclosure of complex or non-routine transactions commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Please see Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the identified material weakness and our actions to date to remediate the material weakness. 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 additional deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses.
To comply with Section 404B, we may incur substantial costs, 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 404B 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 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 404 compliance, see our Risk Factor: "We will no longer be an emerging growth company beginning on December 31, 2020, after which we will not be able to take advantage of the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth 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, including in our ability to timely service our debt obligations, 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.
85


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;
the size of our debt obligations;
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, 2020, we and our subsidiaries had approximately $645.7 million of total consolidated indebtedness, of which an aggregate of $416.0 million represented indebtedness that is recourse to us, of which $14.7 million is classified as current and $401.3 million is classified as non-current. Of this $401.3 million debt, $69.5 million represented debt under our 10% Notes, and $263.4 million represented debt under our 10% Convertible Notes. In addition, our PPA Entities’ outstanding indebtedness of $229.7 million represented indebtedness that is non-recourse to us. 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:
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;
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;
86


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 10% Convertible 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 10% Convertible 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.
As of June 30, 2020, we and our subsidiaries have approximately $645.7 million of total consolidated indebtedness, including $26.1 million in short-term debt and $619.7 million in long-term debt. In addition, our 10% Convertible Notes contain restrictions on our ability to issue additional debt and both the 10% Convertible 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% Convertible 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.
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.
We finance a significant volume of Energy Servers and receive equity distributions from certain of the PPA Entities that purchase the Energy Servers and other project intangibles through a series of milestone payments. The milestone payments and equity distributions contribute to our cash flow. These PPA Entities are separate and distinct legal entities, do not guarantee our debt obligations, and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under our debt obligations or to make any
87


funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividend, distribution, loan, or other payments. It is possible that the PPA Entities may not contribute significant cash to us.
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 or restructuring 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 available or 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.
Certain of our outstanding convertible debt securities may be required to be settled in cash, which could have a material effect on our financial position.
Certain listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange limit the number of shares we may deliver upon conversion of our outstanding convertible notes that we amended in March of 2020 unless we first obtain the approval of our stockholders to issue shares in excess of that amount. We may never obtain such stockholder approval To comply with these listing standards, the number of shares that we may issue upon conversion of our outstanding convertible notes will be limited to an amount that does not exceed these limitations, until we have obtained stockholder approval to issue additional shares Any shares that would otherwise have been deliverable upon conversion in the absence of this limitation will instead be settled in cash based on the applicable daily conversion values during the relevant period. We may not have the funds available to settle such conversions in cash. Our inability to settle such conversions in cash by the required conversion date would be a default under the agreements that govern our convertible notes.
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.
Three of our 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. 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. In three cases, 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 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, 2020.
88


Risks Relating to Our Operations
We may have conflicts of interest with our PPA Entities.
In most 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 our 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, 2020, 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.
We will no longer be an emerging growth company beginning on December 31, 2020 after which we will not be able to take advantage of the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies.
We have been an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we have taken advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or 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 non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We expect to cease to be an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2020.
As a result, we will need to comply with the independent auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2020, will be required to hold a say-on-pay vote and a say-on-frequency vote at our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, and will no longer be entitled to provide the reduced executive compensation disclosures permitted by emerging growth companies in our annual report on the Form 10-K and proxy statement for the year ending December 31, 2020. We expect that our transition from “emerging growth company” will require additional attention from management and will result in increased costs to us, which could include higher legal fees, accounting fees and fees associated with investor relations activities, among others.
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
89


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, including public safety power shut-offs that have occurred and will continue to occur in California, 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, fire, localized extended outages of critical utilities (such as California's public safety power shut-offs) or transportation systems, or any critical resource shortages could cause a 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.
90


As a result of these risks, any potential future international expansion efforts that we may undertake may not be successful.
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 Risk Factors section, 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;
the issuance of reports from short sellers that may negatively impact the trading price of our Class A common stock;
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. We are currently involved in securities litigation which may 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 99,233,074 shares of our Class A common stock and 31,005,215 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2020. 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").
91


Further, as of June 30, 2020, we had an aggregate of $249.3 million in convertible debt, our 10% Convertible Notes, under which the outstanding principal may be converted, at the option of the holders, into an aggregate of 31,162,415 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.
In addition, as of June 30, 2020, we had options and RSUs outstanding that, if fully exercised or settled, would result in the issuance of 9,664,887 shares of Class A common stock and 15,214,822 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, 2020, 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 10% Convertible Promissory Note could result in a significant stockholder with substantial voting control.
The holders of the 10% Convertible Promissory Notes have the option to convert the outstanding principal under the 10% Convertible Promissory Notes to Class B common stock at a conversion price of $8.00 per share at any time and prior to maturity of the 10% Convertible Promissory Notes in December 2021. As of June 30, 2020, an aggregate of 21,232,797 shares of Class B common stock is issuable to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal under the 10% Convertible Promissory Notes. This, along with 312,575 shares of Class B common stock which CPPIB acquired from the exercise of a warrant at IPO, would result, as of June 30, 2020, in CPPIB having approximately 35% of the total voting power with respect to all shares of our Class A common stock (which has one vote per share) and Class B common stock (which has ten votes per share), 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 that 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 implemented 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 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. In addition, certain short sellers of our Class A common stock have published reports that we believe have negatively impacted the trading price of our Class A common stock.
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:
require that our board of directors is 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 are 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;
establish 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
93


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 our assets;
expressly authorize the board of directors 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 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.
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.

1. Granting Clause. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent as herein provided and in consideration of the other terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant takes from Landlord, the Premises, to have and to hold for the Lease Term, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.
2. Condition of Premises; Acceptance of Premises; Delay; Measurement of Premises; CASp.
        (a) Condition of Premises. On the Commencement Date, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall deliver the Premises to Tenant (i) with all Building Systems (as defined in

- 2 –


Paragraph 10 below) and the Building Structure (as defined in Paragraph 10 below) in good working order and repair; (ii) with all existing improvements and trade fixtures that were in place in the Premises on the Effective Date, including, without limitation, all process piping and the air compressor, in place and in good working order and repair; and (iii) with a TPO, welded seam, white reflective 60 mil roof replacement with a 20-year warranty (all of the foregoing, the “Landlord’s Work”). In addition, not later than the Commencement Date, the Premises shall be in the condition required by the closure plan filed by the previous tenant, with such condition certified as compliant by the governmental authority with jurisdiction over the closure plan (the “Closure Condition”). Provided that on or before the Commencement Date Landlord has delivered the Premises to Tenant with the Landlord’s Work completed and the Closure Condition satisfied (the “Required Condition”), subject to the correction of any punch list items with respect to the Landlord’s Work, Tenant shall accept the Premises in its condition as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants and restrictions. Landlord warrants that the Building Systems (as defined in Paragraph 11 below) will be in good working order and repair for six (6) months from the Commencement Date, and Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (without pass-through to Tenant), shall make any repairs to or replacements of the Building Systems during such six (6)- month period.
        (b) Delay in Delivery. The Outside Commencement Date is January 1, 2021. If for any reason other than due to the act or omission of Tenant, or an Excused Delay, the Premises have not been delivered by Landlord to Tenant in the Required Condition, then the Commencement Date shall be the date on which the Premises have been delivered to Tenant in the Required Condition, and for each day after January 1, 2021 until the Premises have been delivered to Tenant in the Required Condition, Base Rent shall abate, which abatement shall be in addition to the abatement of Base Rent provided for in Addendum 2 – Base Rent Abatement.
        (c) Excused Delays. For avoidance of doubt, the date of Landlord’s delivery of the Premises to Tenant in the Required Condition, the date of Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, the Commencement Date (and Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses), the Outside Commencement Date and the commencement of the Rent Abatement Period (and Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent) each shall be extended one (1) day for each day of Excused Delay.
        (d) Notice of Lease Term Dates. Within ten (10) business days following the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a Notice of Lease Term Dates memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C setting forth the Commencement Date and expiration date of the Lease (the “Notice of Lease Term Dates”). Failure by either party to execute said notice within three (3) business days after receipt of written notice from the other party shall be deemed a default under the terms of this Lease. Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises are suitable for Tenant's intended purposes. Except as provided in Paragraph 10, Paragraph 15 and the Work Letter, in no event shall Landlord have any obligation for any defects in the Premises or for any limitation on its use. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2(a) above, Tenant’s taking of possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Premises and that the Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken except for items that are Landlord's responsibility under Paragraph 10 and any punchlist items agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant.
        (e) Measurement of the Premises. For purposes of this Lease, prior to the Commencement Date Landlord’s architect shall measure the rentable square footage of the Premises and the Building pursuant to the Building Owners and Managers Association International Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area under ANSI/BOMA Z65.2-2012 Industrial Buildings Standard Methods of Measurement, Method B (the “BOMA Standard”). Tenant shall have the right to verify the rentable square footage of the Premises and Building at any time prior to Commencement Date. Tenant’s Architect, (as defined in

- 3 –


Addendum 3- Work Letter) shall consult with Landlord’s architect regarding such verification, and any discrepancy shall be resolved by Landlord’s architect and Tenant’s Architect, both acting reasonably, and their joint determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties.

        (f) CASp. For purposes of Section 1938(a) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). As required by Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby states as follows: "A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. If Tenant requests a CASp inspection, the parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” Any CASp inspection shall be conducted in compliance with reasonable rules in effect at the Premises with regard to such inspections and shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent.
3. Use.
        (a) Use of Premises. The Premises shall be used for manufacturing, general warehouse, research & development, distribution, production, assembly, office and all other related legal uses (the “Permitted Uses”). Tenant shall not use the Premises (i) to store or distribute or sell marijuana or (ii) for the storage of tires. Tenant shall not conduct or give notice of any auction, liquidation, or going out of business sale on the Premises. Tenant shall have reasonable access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week. Tenant shall use the Premises in a careful, safe and proper manner and will not commit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises or subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise, or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, or take any other action that would constitute a nuisance or would unreasonably disturb, unreasonably interfere with, or endanger Landlord. Outside storage, including without limitation, storage of trucks and other vehicles, is prohibited, except in the rear of the Building, subject to Tenant obtaining any necessary permits or approvals required by the local authorities and that certain First Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants and Grants of Easements For The Opus Technology Center dated June 7, 2000 and recorded as Instrument No. 2000-185750 of the Official Records of Alameda County, California (“Declaration”). Tenant, at its sole expense, shall use and occupy the Premises in compliance with all laws, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, directives, permits, licenses, covenants, restrictions, and matters of record and the Declaration (collectively, "Legal Requirements"). The Premises shall not be used as a place of public accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar state statutes or local ordinances or any regulations promulgated thereunder, all as may be amended from time to time. Tenant shall, at its expense, make any alterations or modifications, within or without the Premises, that are required by Legal Requirements to the extent such alterations are required solely as a result of Tenant's particular and unique use or occupation of the Premises. Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner that would void Tenant's or Landlord's insurance or increase the insurance risk. If any increase in the cost of any insurance on the Premises is caused by Tenant's use or occupation of the Premises, or because Tenant vacates the Premises, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase to Landlord.
        (b) Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to construct or pay the cost of complying with any conditions,

- 4 –


covenants and restriction, Legal Requirements or insurance underwriter’s requirements requiring construction of improvements to the Premises, the Exterior Premises (defined below) or to any other portion of the Property unless such compliance is necessitated solely because of Tenant’s particular and unique use of the Premises or the construction of the Tenant Improvements (as defined in the Work Letter) or any Tenant-Made Alterations to the Premises made and paid for by Tenant.
        (c) Exterior Premises. The term “Exterior Premises” shall mean all areas and facilities outside the Building, including, but not limited to driveways, loading and unloading areas, bathrooms, alleys, landscaping and grounds surrounding the Building, which are for the exclusive use by Landlord and Tenant, and their respective employees, suppliers, shippers, contractors, agents, invitees and customers. Landlord grants to Tenant and the foregoing related parties the exclusive right to use, in common with Landlord, in accordance with the terms of this Lease, including, without limitation, all Exhibits and Addenda. Landlord shall have the right to make changes to the Exterior Premises and/or to close any or all of the Exterior Premises, provided Tenant still has reasonable access to and use of the Building and the Exterior Premises. Further, Landlord shall have the right to change the boundaries of the Exterior Premises; use the Exterior Premises during repairs, alterations to or expansion of the Building; and perform any other acts within the Exterior Premises that Landlord reasonably deems appropriate, so long as the exercise of the foregoing rights does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises and Exterior Premises. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Paragraph 3(c) shall be deemed to limit Tenant’s rights to install in the Exterior Premises the Generator and Tenant’s Bloom Boxes pursuant to Paragraph 12 below. In addition, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s cost, to install perimeter fencing around the Premises, and to install lift gates, guard shacks and cameras on the Exterior Premises so long as such installations are in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
4. Base Rent. Tenant shall pay an annual Base Rent in the amount set forth above in the Basic Lease Information. The Initial Monthly Base Rent for the third (3rd) month of the Term shall be due and payable within five (5) business days after Tenant’s execution of this Lease, and Tenant promises to pay to Landlord in advance, without demand, deduction or set-off (except as expressly permitted under this Lease), monthly installments of Base Rent on or before the first day of each calendar month commencing with the third calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date (as that date may be extended as provided in Paragraph 2(c)). Payments of Base Rent for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (or to such other party as Landlord may from time to time specify in writing) shall be made by electronic funds transfer or bank wire transfer of immediately available federal funds at such place, within the continental United States, as Landlord may from time to time designate to Tenant in writing. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have no right at any time to abate, reduce, or set-off any rent due hereunder. If Tenant is delinquent in any monthly installment of Base Rent or of estimated Operating Expenses (as defined below) for more than five (5) days, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such delinquent sum; provided, however, that, not more than once during any twelve (12)- month period during the Term (as extended), Tenant shall be entitled to written notice of non-receipt of Base Rent or estimated Operating Expenses from Landlord, and Tenant shall not be liable for any late charge with respect thereto if such installment of Base Rent or estimate Operating Expenses is received by Landlord within five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of such notice. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as a penalty.
5. Letter of Credit. Tenant shall provide Landlord with (i) an initial Letter of Credit (the “Initial L C”) in the Initial L C amount, which Initial L C shall be delivered with seven (7) business days after Tenant’s execution of this Lease; and (ii) an amendment to the Initial L C (the “L C Amendment”)

- 5 –


in the L C Amendment Amount, which L C Amendment shall be delivered not later than the Commencement Date (as such date may be extended by Excused Delays). The L C shall be an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit in the initial amount provided on page 2 of this Lease and the form of Addendum 6 - Form of Letter of Credit attached hereto, and in accordance with the following provisions:

i.Delivery of Letter of Credit; L C Draw Event. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Initial L C and the L C Amendment (together with the Initial L C, the “L C”), which L C shall be issued by a money-center, solvent and nationally recognized bank (a bank which accepts deposits, maintains accounts, and whose deposits are insured by the FDIC) reasonably acceptable to Landlord (such approved, issuing bank being referred to herein as the “Bank”), which Bank must have a short term Fitch Rating which is not less than “F1”, and a long term Fitch Rating which is not less than “A” (or in the event such Fitch Ratings are no longer available, a comparable rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service or Moody’s Professional Rating Service) (collectively, the “Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold”), and which L C shall be in the form of Addendum 6 or such other form reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall submit to Landlord a copy of the final draft of L C that Bank is prepared to execute prior to the Effective Date to provide Landlord an opportunity to confirm that such final draft is in the same form as Addendum 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby approves Wells Fargo Bank as the “Bank.” Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining each L C. The L C shall (i) be payable at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) be maintained in effect for the period commencing on the date of delivery of the L C to Landlord and continuing until one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of Lease Term (the “L C Expiration Date”) and Tenant shall deliver a new L C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the L C then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, (iii) subject to applicable Laws, be fully assignable by Landlord, its successors and assigns at Landlord’s cost to an assignee of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, (iv) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and (v) be otherwise subject to the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. The L C shall contain an “evergreen” provision providing for automatic extensions. Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the L C if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (A) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, “Bankruptcy Code”), or (B) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or (C) the Lease has been rejected, or is deemed rejected, under Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, following the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or the filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or (D) the Bank has notified Landlord that the L C will not be renewed or extended through the L C Expiration Date and Tenant has not delivered a replacement L C at least thirty (30) days prior to the then expiration date of the existing L C, or (E) Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, or becomes subject to similar proceedings under Federal or State law, or (F) Tenant executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (G) if any of the Bank's Fitch Ratings (or other comparable ratings to the extent the Fitch Ratings are no longer available) have been reduced below the Bank's Credit Rating Threshold, and Tenant has failed to provide Landlord with a replacement L C, conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Paragraph 5 (including, but not limited to, the requirements placed on the issuing Bank more particularly set forth in this Paragraph 5(i) above), in the amount of the applicable L C Amount, within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary), or (H) Tenant fails to maintain the L C in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Paragraph 5 (each of the foregoing being an “L C Draw Event”). In addition, Landlord may draw down against the L C such amounts as are necessary to compensate Landlord for any and all damages sustained by Landlord as a result of an Event of Default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) under the terms and conditions of the Lease (“Limited L C Draw Event”). The L C shall be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord's right to

- 6 –


draw upon the L C. In addition, in the event the Bank is placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity, then, effective as of the date such receivership or conservatorship occurs, said L C shall be deemed to fail to meet the requirements of this Paragraph 5, and, within thirty (30) days following Landlord's notice to Tenant of such receivership or conservatorship (the “L C FDIC Replacement Notice”), Tenant shall replace such L C with a substitute letter of credit from a different issuer (which issuer shall meet or exceed the Bank's Credit Rating Threshold and shall otherwise be acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion) and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Paragraph 5. If Tenant fails to replace such L Cs with cash or such conforming substitute letter of credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 5, then, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to declare Tenant in default of this Lease for which there shall be no notice of grace or cure periods being applicable thereto (other than the aforesaid thirty (30)- day period). In the event of an assignment by Tenant of its interest in the Lease (and irrespective of whether Landlord's consent is required for such assignment), the acceptance of any replacement or substitute letter of credit by Landlord from the assignee shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, so long as such replacement letter of credit meets the requirements of this Paragraph 5. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of billing, the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with its review of any replacement or substitute letter of credit.
ii.Application of L C. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the L C upon the occurrence of any L C Draw Event. In the event of any L C Draw Event or Limited L C Draw Event, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant (except in connection with an L C Draw Event under Paragraph 5(i)(H) above or in connection with a Limited L C Draw Event), draw upon the L C so much of the LC as is necessary to cure any Event of Default and/or to otherwise compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained (or that Landlord reasonably estimates will be sustained) by Landlord resulting from such Event of Default or to exercise other rights or remedies with respect to such Event of Default or to compensate Landlord for any and all physical damages to the Premises arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the termination of this Lease following an Event of Default of Tenant. The use, application or retention of the L C, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L C, and such L C shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L C, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of any portion of the L C regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw upon the L C. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L C conditional to justify the issuer of the L C in failing to honor a drawing upon such L C in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the L C constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, and (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the L C or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, and/or there is an event of a receivership, conservatorship or a bankruptcy filing by, or on behalf of, Tenant, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant's bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord's claim and/or rights to the L C and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

iii.        L C Amount; Maintenance of L C by Tenant.

1.L C Amount. The initial L C Amount shall be equal to the amount set forth on page 2 of this Lease as the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit amount. Provided no Event of Default (beyond the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods) has occurred and is continuing, the L C Amount shall decrease on the fourth anniversary of the Commencement Date by $250,000.00.

- 7 –


The amount of $250,000.00 shall remain as the L C Amount under this Lease, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2.In General. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord of all or any portion of the L C the amount of the L C shall be less than the applicable L C Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after receipt of written demand by Landlord, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency, and any such additional letter(s) of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Paragraph 5, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, the same shall be deemed an Event of Default under this Lease without benefit of any additional notice and cure period and entitling Landlord to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law, and/or in equity. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the L C or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the L C expires earlier than the L C Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof (such renewal letter of credit to be in effect and delivered to Landlord, as applicable, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the L C), which shall be irrevocable and renewable as above provided through the L C Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring L C or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion. So long as no L C Draw Event or Limited L C Draw Event has occurred and is continuing, Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the L C Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the L C received by Landlord and not properly applied as the result of an L C Draw Event.

iv.Transfer and Encumbrance. The L C shall also provide that Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, and at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant's consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) its interest in and to the L C to another party, person or entity, provided that such transfer is from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the L C to the transferee and, so long as such transferee agrees, in writing, to be bound as “Landlord” to the terms of this Lease, thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability for the L C, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole of said L C to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the L C by Landlord, Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s notice of such transfer, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer and, Landlord shall be responsible for paying the Bank's transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.

v.L C Not a Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant (1) acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the L C or any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof be deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” under any law applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (the "Security Deposit Laws"), (2) acknowledge and agree that the L C (including any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof) is not intended to serve as a security deposit, and the Security Deposit Laws shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto, and (3) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations that any such party may now, or in the future will, have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws but only to the extent such waiver is allowed under applicable Laws; provided, however, that the application by Landlord of any L C Proceeds shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this Lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes the provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, which provide that a landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by a tenant or to clean the premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Paragraph 5 and/or those sums reasonably necessary to (a) compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by Tenant's breach of this Lease, including without limitation any damages Landlord suffers following termination of this Lease, and/or (b) compensate Landlord for any and all damages arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the termination of this Lease.

- 8 –



vi.Non-Interference By Tenant. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with any payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L C, either prior to or following a "draw" by Landlord of all or any portion of the L C, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord's right to draw down all or any portion of the L C. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L C conditional and thereby afford the Bank a justification for failing to honor a drawing upon such L C in a timely manner. Tenant shall not request or instruct the Bank of any L C to refrain from paying sight draft(s) drawn under such L C.

vii.Waiver of Certain Relief. Tenant unconditionally and irrevocably waives (and as an independent covenant hereunder, covenants not to assert) any right to claim or obtain any of the following relief in connection with the L C:

1.A temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, permanent injunction, or other order that would prevent, restrain or restrict the presentment of sight drafts drawn under any L C or the Bank's honoring or payment of sight draft(s); or

2.Any attachment, garnishment, or levy in any manner upon either the proceeds of any L C or the obligations of the Bank (either before or after the presentment to the Bank of sight drafts drawn under such L C) based on any theory whatever.

viii.Remedy for Improper Drafts. Tenant's sole remedy in connection with the presentment or payment of sight drafts drawn under any L C which are in violation of this Paragraph 5 shall be the right to obtain from Landlord a refund of the amount of any sight draft(s) that were improperly presented or the proceeds of which were misapplied and reasonable actual out-of-pocket attorneys' fees and bank charges. Tenant acknowledges that the presentment of sight drafts drawn under any L C, or the Bank's payment of sight drafts drawn under such L C, could not under any circumstances cause Tenant injury that could not be remedied by an award of money damages, and that the recovery of money damages would be an adequate remedy therefor.

6. Operating Expense Payments. During each month of the Lease Term, on the same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 1/12 of the annual cost, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time, of Tenant's Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of Operating Expenses (hereinafter defined) for the Exterior Premises and for the Building. Payments thereof for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. The term "Operating Expenses" means all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the ownership, maintenance, and operation of the Premises, but not limited to costs of: (i) Taxes (hereinafter defined) and fees payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting taxes; (ii) insurance; (iii) utilities; (iv) maintenance, repair and replacement of all portions of the Premises, including without limitation, paving and parking areas, roads, roofs (including without limitation the roof membrane), alleys, and driveways, mowing, landscaping, snow removal, exterior painting, utility lines, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting, electrical systems and other mechanical and Building Systems; (v) amounts paid to contractors and subcontractors for work or services performed in connection with any of the foregoing; (vi) charges or assessments of any association or document of record to which the Premises is subject; (vii) property management fees payable to a property manager, including but not limited to any affiliate of Landlord at an amount equal to three percent (3%) of monthly Base Rent; (viii) security services, if any; (ix) trash collection, sweeping and removal; and (x) the cost of additions or alterations made by Landlord to the Premises in order to comply with Legal Requirements (other than those expressly required herein to be made by Tenant), and the cost of capital additions or alterations required by Legal Requirements and capital repairs to or replacements of the Building Systems, provided that such capital

- 9 –


costs shall be amortized on a straight line basis over a period equal to the useful life thereof in accordance with generally accepted real estate accounting principles, consistently applied, together with interest thereon if Landlord borrowed such funds (not to exceed eight percent (8%), and Tenant shall pay such amortized cost on a monthly basis until the earlier of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the useful life thereof.
Operating Expenses do not include, and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay for, any of the following: (i) costs, expenses, depreciation or amortization for capital repairs and capital replacements of the Building Structure which are the sole obligation of Landlord under Paragraph 10 of this Lease; (ii) the costs of repair, replacement, or restoration work occasioned by any casualty pursuant to Paragraph 15 below or condemnation pursuant to Paragraph 16 below; (iii) finance and debt service fees, principal and/or interest on debt or amortization payments on any mortgages executed by Landlord covering Landlord’s property, any other indebtedness of Landlord, and rental under any ground lease or leases for the Building and/or the Property; (iv) any depreciation allowance or expense, amortization (except as expressly permitted in the preceding paragraph), expense reserve and other non-cash items; (v) except for management fees, Landlord’s general overhead and any overhead or profit increment to any subsidiary or affiliate of Landlord for services on or to the Building and/or the Property to the extent that the cost of such service exceeds competitive costs for such services rendered by persons or entities of similar skill, competence and experience other than a subsidiary or affiliate of Landlord; (vi) any costs or expenses representing any amount paid for services and materials to a (personal or business) related person, firm, or entity to the extent such amount exceeds the amount that would have been paid for such service or materials at the then existing market rates in the absence of such relationship; (vii) compensation paid to any employee of Landlord above the grade of Property Manager/Building Superintendent, including officers and executives of Landlord; (viii) the costs and expenses incurred in resolving disputes with other occupants, or prospective occupants of the Building; (ix) insurance costs for coverage not customarily paid by tenants of similar projects in the vicinity of the Building, increases in insurance costs caused by the activities of another occupant of the Building, and co-insurance payments; (x) insurance deductibles (including, without limitation, deductibles for earthquake and flood insurance carried by Landlord) in excess of $25,000.00 per casualty unless such excess is amortized over the useful life of the improvements to be repaired or replaced (as determined in accordance with generally accepted real estate accounting principles, consistently applied), together with interest thereon at the rate charged to Landlord if Landlord borrowed such funds (not to exceed eight percent (8%) per annum, payable by Tenant on a monthly basis as an Operating Expense until the earlier of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the expiration of the useful life of the improvements); (xi) costs incurred in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Materials, except to the extent stored, used, released or disposed of by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees, sublessees and assignees; (xii) the costs and expenses attributable to the construction of the Building, including correcting defects in the construction of the Building or in the Building equipment; (xiii) intentionally deleted; (xiv) the costs of repairs or maintenance which are or would have been covered by warranties or service contracts in existence on the Commencement Date and to the extent such maintenance and repairs are made at no cost to Landlord; (xv) the costs of repairs, alterations, and general maintenance necessitated by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors; (xvi) interest or penalties due to the late payment of taxes, utility bills (to the extent made the obligation of Landlord hereunder) or other such costs payable by Landlord; (xvii) any amount payable by Landlord by way of indemnity or for damages or which constitute a fine or penalty; (xviii) any cost for overtime or other expenses to Landlord in curing defaults; (xix) the costs, including fines, penalties, and legal fees incurred, due to violations by Landlord, its employees, agents, contractors or assigns of building codes or any governmental rule or requirement; (xx) any of the following Taxes or assessment expenses: (a) estate, inheritance, transfer, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or any federal, state or local income, sales or transfer tax, (b) penalties and interest, other than those attributable to Tenant’s failure to timely comply with its obligations pursuant to this Lease, (c) any Taxes in excess of the amount which would be payable if such tax or assessment expense were paid in installments over the longest possible term; and (xxi) any other cost or expense which, under

- 10 –


generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, would not be a normal maintenance or operating expense of the Building, including bad debt expenses and charitable contributions and donations. Landlord agrees that (y) Landlord will not collect or be entitled to collect more than one hundred percent (100%) of the Operating Expenses actually paid by Landlord in connection with the operation of the Building in any calendar year; and (z) Landlord shall make no profit from Landlord’s collection of Operating Expenses.

Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing in reasonable detail the amount of Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year. If Tenant's total payments of Operating Expenses for any year are less than Tenant's Proportionate Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year, then Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of such annual statement, and if more, then Landlord shall pay the difference to Tenant together with delivery of such annual statement. For purposes of calculating Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, a year shall mean a calendar year except the first year, which shall begin on the Commencement Date, and the last year, which shall end on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Landlord fails to provide a statement to Tenant within twelve (12) months after the end of the calendar year at issue, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses in excess of the estimated amounts actually paid by Tenant for such calendar year.

Tenant's "Proportionate Share" is 100% of the Building. The Initial Estimated Monthly Operating Expense Payment for the Premises set forth on the second page of this Lease is only an estimate, and Landlord makes no guaranty or warranty that such estimate is or will be accurate.

Landlord shall retain all books and records related to Operating Expenses for a period of at least two (2) years. Not more frequently than once in every 12-month period and within twelve (12) months after receiving the applicable Landlord’s statement of Operating Expenses, Tenant may, after at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to Landlord (“Review Notice”), notify Landlord that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of the Operating Expenses for the calendar year to which the statement applies as to whether the items on the statement were billed correctly in accordance with the Lease. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice (not to exceed forty-five (45) days), Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection at the Premises that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records (which may include employees of Tenant), the agent must be licensed to do business in the state or commonwealth where the Premises is located and must not be paid any sum based in whole or in part on the reduction of the sums paid or to be paid by Tenant. Tenant together with any representative of Tenant shall be permitted to review and audit the books and records supporting the Operating Expenses. If Tenant exercises its audit rights as provided above, Tenant shall conduct any inspection at a reasonable time and in a manner so as not to materially adversely disrupt the conduct of Landlord’s business. Any such inspection by Tenant shall be for the sole purpose of verifying the Operating Expenses. Tenant shall hold any information obtained during any such inspection in confidence, except that Tenant shall be permitted to disclose such information to its attorneys and advisors, provided Tenant informs such parties of the confidential nature of such information and uses good faith and diligent efforts to cause such parties to maintain such information as confidential. Within sixty (60) days after Tenant has reviewed such books and records, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s statement of Operating Expenses for that year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the 60-day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the 12-month period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s statement of Operating Expenses for such year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant’s Objection Notice. If the parties are unable to reach a resolution with within

- 11 –


thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of an Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall designate a Certified Public Accountant (the “Arbiter”) whose determination made in accordance with this Paragraph 6 shall be binding upon the parties. If the determination of Arbiter shall substantially confirm the determination of Landlord, then Tenant shall pay the cost of the Arbiter. If the Arbiter shall substantially confirm the determination of Tenant, then Landlord shall pay the cost of the Arbiter. In all other events, the cost of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. In the event that Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to agree upon the designation of the Arbiter within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the other party requesting agreement as to the designation of the Arbiter, which notice shall contain the names and addresses of two or more certified public accountants who are acceptable to the party sending such notice (any one of whom, if acceptable to the party receiving such notice as shall be evidenced by notice given by the receiving party to the other party within such 30-day period, shall be the agreed upon Arbiter), then either party shall have the right to request the AAA (or any organization which is the successor thereto) to designate as the Arbiter a certified public accountant whose determination made in accordance with this Paragraph 6 shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, and the cost charged by the AAA (or any organization which is the successor thereto), for designating such Arbiter, shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. Any shortfall or excess revealed and verified by Tenant’s audit shall be paid to the applicable party within thirty (30) days after that party is notified in writing of the shortfall or excess to the extent such overage or shortfall has not previously been adjusted pursuant to this Lease. All costs and expenses of the inspection shall be paid by Tenant unless the final determination in the audit is that Landlord overstated Operating Expenses by more than five percent (5%) for the year to which the audit relates, in which case Landlord shall pay all costs and expenses of the audit, not to exceed Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00).
7. Utilities. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, electricity, heat, light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler services, refuse and trash collection, and other utilities and services used on the Premises, all maintenance charges for such utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges for utilities imposed by any governmental entity or utility provider, together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining to Tenant's use of the Premises.
8. Taxes. Landlord shall pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges (paid by Landlord at the discount rate, if so offered by the taxing authority) (collectively referred to as "Taxes") that accrue against the Premises during the Lease Term, and such Taxes shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant. Taxes shall also include the following by way of illustration but not limitation:
i.any tax on Landlord's "right" to rent or "rights" to other income from the Premises or as against Landlord's business of leasing the Premises;
ii.any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June, 1978 election and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of "real property taxes" for the purposes of this Lease;
iii.any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or other premises in the Building or the rent payable by Tenant hereunder or other tenants of the Building, including, without limitation, any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied by state, city or federal government, or any political subdivision thereof, with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with

- 12 –


respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof but not on Landlord's other operations;
iv.any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge upon this transaction; and/or
v.any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge by any governmental agency related to any transportation plan, fund or system (including assessment districts) instituted within the geographic area of which the Building is a part.
        At Tenant’s request, Landlord shall contest, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, by appropriate legal proceedings the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens thereof. All capital levies or other taxes assessed or imposed on Landlord upon the rents payable to Landlord under this Lease and any franchise tax, any excise, transaction, sales or privilege tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from the Premises or any portion thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly in estimated installments or within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand, at the option of Landlord, as additional rent; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be liable for any Taxes excluded in subsection 6(xx) above. If any Tax payable by Tenant hereunder is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, then Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay the same at such times and in such manner as the taxing authority shall require. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or fixtures placed in the Premises, whether levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant.
9. Insurance. Landlord shall maintain special form causes of loss property insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Building and Exterior Premises. Landlord also shall carry Commercial General Liability insurance with limits of not less than $2,000,000.00 for each occurrence. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary, including, but not limited to, commercial liability insurance and rent loss insurance. All such insurance shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant. The Premises may be included in a blanket policy (in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Premises will be determined by Landlord based upon the insurer's cost calculations). Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any increased premiums or additional insurance which Landlord reasonably deems necessary as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises.
Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and maintain during the Lease Term insurance of the types and amounts as follows and issued by insurance companies that are reasonably acceptable to Landlord: (i) special form commercial property insurance covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements installed or placed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant's expense, and such insurance shall (a) at a minimum, cover the perils insured under the ISO special causes of loss form (CP 10 30) and (b) eliminate any coinsurance requirement in the policy through the attachment of an agreed amount endorsement, the activation of an agreed value option, or as is otherwise appropriate under the particular policy form; and (ii) worker's compensation insurance with no less than the minimum limits required by law; and (iii) employer's liability insurance with limits not less than the greater of (A) $1,000,000 each accident for bodily injury by accident and $1,000,000 each employee for bodily injury by disease or (B) such limits as required by law, and Tenant hereby waives all rights against Landlord and its agents, officers, directors, and employees for recovery of damages to the extent these damages are covered by the workers compensation and employers liability or commercial umbrella liability insurance obtained by Tenant to this Lease, and Tenant shall obtain an endorsement equivalent to WC 00 03 13 to affect this waiver; and (iv) commercial general liability (“CGL”) insurance, and, if necessary, commercial umbrella insurance, with limits of not less than $2,000,000 each occurrence and not less than $4,000,000 in the aggregate for property damage, personal injuries, or deaths of persons occurring in or about the Premises; and (v) automobile liability and, if necessary, commercial umbrella liability insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 each accident, and such insurance shall (I) cover liability arising

- 13 –


out of any auto (including owned, hired, and non-owned autos), (II) be written on ISO form CA 00 01, CA 00 05, CA 00 25, or a substitute form providing equivalent liability coverage, (III) include Landlord as an insured using ISO endorsement CA 20 01 or an equivalent form, and (IV) provide pollution liability coverage at least as broad as that provided under the ISO pollution liability-broadened coverage for covered autos endorsement (CA 99 48) and the Motor Carrier Act endorsement (MCS 90) shall be attached (if applicable), and Tenant waives all rights against Landlord and its agents, officers, directors and employees for recovery of damages to the extent any damages covered by this clause (v) are covered by the automobile liability or commercial umbrella liability insurance obtained by Tenant pursuant to this Agreement. Landlord may from time to time require reasonable increases in any such limits. Tenant shall purchase business income, business interruption, extra expense or similar coverage as part of its special form commercial property insurance, and in no event shall Landlord be liable for any business interruption or other consequential loss sustained by Tenant, whether or not it is insured, even if such loss is caused by the negligence of Landlord, its employees, officers, directors, or agents. Coverage provided by Tenant’s insurance shall not be limited to the liability assumed by Tenant under the indemnifications provisions of this Lease.
Tenant’s CGL insurance shall be written on ISO occurrence form CG 00 01 04 13 (or a substitute form providing equivalent coverage) and shall cover liability arising from premises, operations, independent contractors, products-completed operations, personal injury and advertising injury, and liability assumed under an insured contract. Landlord, and at Landlord’s request, any lender holding a mortgage lien against the Premises shall be included as an additional insured under Tenant’s CGL insurance, using ISO additional insured endorsement, CG 20 11 or a substitute providing equivalent coverage, and under Tenant’s commercial umbrella insurance, if any. Tenant’s CGL insurance shall also insure on an occurrence and not a claims-made basis, and contain hostile fire coverage and contractual liability coverage. Tenant’s CGL insurance shall apply as primary insurance with respect to any other insurance or self-insurance programs afforded to or maintained by Landlord. There shall be no endorsement or modification of Tenant’s CGL insurance to make it excess over other available insurance; alternatively, if Tenant’s CGL insurance states that it is excess or pro rata, such policy shall be endorsed to be primary with respect to the additional insured or insureds, as the case may be. Tenant waives all rights against Landlord and its agents, officers, directors and employees for recovery of damages to the extent these damages are covered by Tenant’s CGL insurance, and under Tenant’s commercial umbrella insurance, if any, maintained pursuant to this Paragraph 9.
Prior to taking occupancy of the Premises, upon each renewal of said insurance, and upon the addition of any new additional insureds, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a certificate, or certificates as the case may be, of the insurance required by this Paragraph (which shall be in the form of the standard ACORD certificate of insurance) as shown on Exhibit D attached hereto), executed by a duly authorized representative of each insurer and showing compliance with the insurance requirements set forth herein. Certificates shall include copies of specific policy form or endorsement excerpts confirming additional insured and waiver of subrogation, as may be required by this Lease. Tenant shall be responsible to provide written notice of cancellation or non-renewal to the Landlord promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than sixty (60) days prior to cancellation or non-renewal with an exception of ten (10) days for cancellation due to non-payment of premium. Failure of Landlord to demand such certificate or certificates, or failure of Landlord to identify a deficiency from evidence that is provided, shall not be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to maintain such insurance.
Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any recovery of damages against each other (including their employees, officers, directors, agents, or representatives) for loss or damage to the Building, Tenant improvements and betterments, fixtures, equipment, and other personal property to the extent covered by the commercial property insurance or boiler and machinery insurance. Neither party nor its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees or contractors shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk coverable by commercial property insurance, and each party waives

- 14 –


any claims against the other party, and its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its property shall not void this waiver. Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for, business interruption and losses occasioned thereby sustained by Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises from any cause, including without limitation, damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligence of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors, but explicitly excluding damage caused in whole or in part by the gross negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. By requiring insurance herein, Landlord does not represent that coverage and limits will necessarily be adequate to protect Tenant, and such coverage and limits shall not be deemed as a limitation on Tenant’s liability under the indemnities granted to Landlord pursuant to terms of this Lease.
10. Landlord's Repairs.
        (a) Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (which cost shall not be reimbursed as part of Operating Expenses nor made the obligation of Tenant hereunder), shall maintain, repair, and replace the exterior walls, roof structure, foundation, structural columns and structural beams of the Building (the “Building Structure”) in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages caused by Tenant, its agents and contractors excluded. Landlord shall also, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (which cost shall be reimbursed as part of Operating Expenses), maintain, repair, and replace the Exterior Premises and fire sprinklers and fire protection systems. In addition, Landlord shall make capital repairs and replacements to the Building Systems, such costs to be amortized and charged to Tenant as provided in Paragraph 6. The term "walls" as used in this Paragraph 10 shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors or overhead doors, special store fronts, dock bumpers, dock plates or levelers, or office entries.

Tenant expressly waives the benefit of any current or futures statute in effect which relate to Landlord repair obligations to the extent it is inconsistent with the terms of this Lease. There shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Without limiting the foregoing, except as set forth in Paragraph 10(b) below, Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect (including the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1942 and any successive sections or statutes of a similar nature).
        (b) Tenant’s Self-Help Remedy. If Landlord is in material default of any of its obligations to maintain, repair or replace the Building Structure or the Exterior Premises, or of its obligation to make capital repairs or replacements of the Building Systems (other than as a result of a casualty, which shall be governed solely by the provisions of Paragraph 15 of this Lease) (collectively referred to in this Paragraph 10(b) as "repairs"), and such default poses a material and imminent risk to the health or safety of persons or material interruption of Tenant’s business operations, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant may perform such repairs subject to the following terms and conditions:
        (i) Tenant shall deliver thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord and any ground lessor or lender whose name and address has previously been furnished to Tenant in writing for such purpose notice (the "Self-Help Notice") of Tenant's intention to perform such repairs, which Self-Help Notice shall indicate Tenant's intention to exercise its self-help rights and to perform such repairs that are otherwise Landlord's responsibility hereunder. If neither Landlord nor any ground lessor or lender commences to cure Landlord's failure to perform such repairs within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Self-Help Notice, then following an additional ten (10) business days’ notice stating in bold-faced

- 15 –


all capital letters: "FAILURE TO PERFORM SUCH WORK IN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN TENANT'S EXERCISE OF SELF-HELP" and the failure of such maintenance or repairs to be commenced in such time, Tenant may take such action as is reasonably necessary to perform such repairs;

         (ii) All repairs performed by Tenant or its agents pursuant to this Paragraph 10(b) must be performed in a good and workmanlike and lien-free manner in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and covenants, conditions and restrictions, if any, recorded against the Property, or applicable part thereof, at a reasonable and competitive cost and rate, and shall not void any warranties or guarantees on the Premises or the Property of which Tenant has notice;
         (iii) In the event Landlord's failure relates to repairs that are bona fide emergency repairs (i.e., necessary to prevent or remediate a material and imminent threat to the health or safety of persons or material interruption of Tenant’s business operations), then, notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 10(b)(i) above, the Self-Help Notice shall be in the form and shall be given in such amount of time as is reasonable in the circumstances, and if Landlord, ground lessor or lender fails to respond within a time as is reasonable in the circumstances, Tenant may cause such emergency repairs to be made pursuant to the requirements set forth herein (and for the avoidance of doubt, specifically excluding the additional ten (10) business- day notice period above so long as the initial notice provides in bold-faced, all capital letters that: "FAILURE TO ACT SHALL RESULT IN TENANT EXERCISING SELF-HELP"); and

         (iv) Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 10(b)(iv) below, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out of pocket third-party costs of the performance of the repairs that are incurred in strict accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 10.(b) (the "Reimbursement Amount") within thirty (30) days after Tenant's submission to Landlord of Tenant's bill therefor, which bill shall be accompanied by receipted, itemized invoices (with reasonable supporting documentation) and conditional lien releases from all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen and suppliers that performed the work or provided the material or services reflected in the bill), provided, however, in no event shall the costs billed to Landlord for emergency repairs be unreasonable and in no event shall such emergency repairs exceed what is required to end the pending emergency (it being understood and agreed by Landlord that in the case of an emergency, depending upon the circumstances, overtime and/or premium time labor charges may be reasonable). Tenant shall provide unconditional lien waivers to Landlord in connection with all such bills paid within ten (10) days of Landlord's payment of Tenant's bill, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. In the event Landlord fails to pay all or any portion of the Reimbursement Amount due Tenant under this Paragraph 10(b) within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's bill therefore, together with the invoices therefor, supporting documentation and the conditional lien releases required by this Paragraph 10(b)(iv), Tenant may with ten (10) business days' prior notice to Landlord stating in bold-faced, all capital letters that: "FAILURE TO REIMBURSE WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN TENANT'S EXERCISE OF OFFSET RIGHTS", offset such delinquent amount against fifty percent (50%) of the Base Rent due from Tenant until Tenant has been reimbursed in full (together with interest on such delinquent amount at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum until such delinquent amount has been paid in full or fully credited), provided that Tenant shall provide Landlord with unconditional lien waivers in connection with the work relating to such amounts within ten (10) days of the date on which the amount has been fully paid or so offset, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord delivers to Tenant a good faith written objection notice within five (5) business days after receipt of Tenant's notice of intent to offset, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord's reasons for its claim that Landlord is not required to pay Tenant all or any specified portion of the Reimbursement Amount, then Tenant shall not be entitled to offset the disputed portion of the Reimbursement Amount. In the event of a dispute between Landlord and Tenant regarding the Reimbursement Amount, the dispute shall be determined by binding arbitration before JAMS in San Jose, California. The arbitration shall be

- 16 –


administered and conducted pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the "Arbitration Rules"). Unless the parties otherwise agree, the arbitrator must be a retired judge of the Superior Court of the State of California. The preceding to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant exercises its self-help right pursuant to this Paragraph (b), then Landlord shall not be obligated to pay to or reimburse Tenant for any portion of the costs incurred by Tenant in exercising its self-help right that are the responsibility of Tenant under the Lease.
11. Tenant's Repairs. Subject to Landlord's obligations in Paragraph 2(a) and Paragraph 10, and subject to Paragraphs 9 and 15, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition all portions of the Premises and all areas, improvements and systems exclusively serving the Premises including, without limitation, concrete floors, dock and loading areas together with all dock-related equipment including but not limited to dock bumpers, dock plates and/or levelers, and seals, truck doors, plumbing, water and sewer lines up to points of common connection, entries, doors, ceilings, windows, interior walls and the interior side of demising walls.

In no event shall Landlord have the right to terminate this Lease for insufficient insurance proceeds if Landlord failed to carry the insurance required by this Lease.

In the event of any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant's interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish Landlord's award, to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving , relocation costs and damage to Tenant's Trade Fixtures and Tenant Improvements if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.

17. Assignment and Subletting.

It shall be reasonable for the Landlord to withhold, delay or condition its consent, where required, to any assignment or sublease in any of the following instances: (i) the assignee or sublessee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and financial stability, or either, in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the assignment or sublease on the date the consent is requested; or (ii) occupancy of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, violate any agreement binding upon Landlord or the Building with regard to the identity of tenants, usage in the Building, or similar matters; or (iii) the identity or business reputation of the assignee or sublessee shall, in the good faith judgment of Landlord, damage the goodwill or reputation of the Building; or (iv) intentionally omitted; or (v) the assignee or sublessee is a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof; or (vi) in the case of a sublease, the subtenant has not acknowledged that the Lease controls over any inconsistent provision in the sublease (except for the obligation to pay Rent); or (vii) the proposed use of the assignee or sublessee entails the presence of Hazardous Materials (as defined below) on the Premises, in which case it shall be reasonable for Landlord to condition its consent additional insurance requirements to be determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, including without limitation the provision of pollution legal liability insurance; or (viii) intentionally omitted; or (ix) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee would entail alterations that would lessen the value of the tenant improvements in the Premises or would increase the burden on Building systems or equipment over the burden thereon prior to the proposed assignment. The foregoing criteria shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord to refuse its consent to such assignment or sublease. Any approved assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall provide to Landlord all information concerning the assignee or sublessee as Landlord may reasonably request, including without limitation copies of the most recent annual and quarterly financial statements of such assignee or sublessee prepared by such assignee or sublessee or its accountants.

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with any assignment or sublease not to exceed One Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($1,500.00). In no event shall Landlord have the right to recapture the Premises in the event of an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of all or any portion of the Premises. Consent by Landlord to any transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for such consent to any subsequent transfer.
Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent and for compliance with all of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease (regardless of whether Landlord's approval has been obtained for any such assignments or sublettings). In the event that the rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto) exceeds the rent payable under this Lease, then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as additional rent hereunder all such excess rental and other excess consideration within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant, less (i) Tenant’s costs for brokerage commissions which shall be standard in the market of the Building,(ii) actual attorneys’ fees paid by Tenant, not to exceed Seven Thousand Five

- 20 –

Landlord shall consent to an assignment or sublease, or withhold consent (with reasonable detail as to why consent is being withheld) within ten (10) business days after receipt of the documentation required by the first grammatical paragraph of this Paragraph 17.
If this Lease be assigned or if the Premises be subleased (whether in whole or in part) or in the event of the mortgage, pledge, or hypothecation of Tenant's leasehold interest or grant of any concession or license within the Premises or if the Premises be occupied in whole or in part by anyone other than Tenant, then upon a default, beyond applicable notice and cure periods, by Tenant hereunder Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, party to whom the leasehold interest was hypothecated, concessionee or licensee or other occupant and, except to the extent set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next rent payable hereunder; and all such rentals collected by Tenant shall be held in trust for Landlord and immediately forwarded to Landlord.

For purposes of this Lease, a transfer or issuance of Tenant’s stock over the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or NASDAQ or by virtue of a private placement with a venture capital firm or other equity investor wherein such venture capital firm or other equity investor receives stock in Tenant shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting or other transfer of this Lease or the Premises requiring Landlord's consent. Any right of Landlord to receive excess rentals shall not apply to a Permitted Transfer.
18. Indemnification. Except to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, and to the extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to indemnify and defend Landlord, and Landlord's agents, employees and contractors, with respect to any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Premises and arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or due to any other act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Tenant's obligations under this Paragraph 18.
19. Inspection and Access.

(b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
(d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom including, but not limited to: unamortized Tenant Improvement costs; attorneys' fees; brokers' commissions; the costs of refurbishment, alterations, renovation and repair of the Premises; and removal (including the repair of any damage caused by such removal) and storage (or disposal) of Tenant's personal property, equipment, fixtures and any other items which Tenant is required under this Lease to remove but does not remove.

- 23 –


As used in Paragraphs 24(a) and 24(b) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 1.14 of the Summary. As used in Paragraph 24(c) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
In the event of any such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of pursuant to this Lease or any other procedures permitted by applicable law. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 24, and no acceptance of surrender of the Premises or other action on Landlord's part, shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, all covenants and agreements by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement or offset of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money (other than Monthly Base Rent) or perform any other act on its part to be paid or performed hereunder and such failure shall continue for three (3) days with respect to monetary obligations (or ten (10) days with respect to non-monetary obligations, except in case of emergencies, in which such case, such shorter period of time as is reasonable under the circumstances) after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations, make such payment or perform such other act on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs incurred by Landlord in performing such other acts shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days after demand therefor as additional rent.
If Landlord terminates Tenant's right of possession (but not this Lease), Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet the Premises for the account of Tenant for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord without thereby releasing Tenant from any liability hereunder and without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant. For the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to make any repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to the Premises as Landlord deems reasonably necessary or desirable. If the Premises are not relet, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount of the rental reserved in this Lease for such period or periods, plus the cost of recovering possession of the Premises (including attorneys' fees and costs of suit), the unpaid Base Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of repossession, and the costs incurred in any attempt by Landlord to relet the Premises. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting [after first deducting therefrom, for retention by Landlord, the unpaid Base Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of reletting, the cost of recovering possession (including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs of suit), all of the costs and expense of repairs, changes, alterations, and additions, the expense of such reletting (including without limitation brokerage fees and leasing commissions) and the cost of collection of the rent accruing therefrom] to satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease to be paid, then Tenant shall immediately satisfy and pay any such deficiency. Any such payments due Landlord shall be made upon demand therefor from time to time and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due from time to time. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect in writing to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
Exercise by Landlord of any one or more remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises and/or a termination of this

- 24 –


Lease by Landlord, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender and/or termination can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. Any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof; and the failure of Landlord at any time to enforce its rights under this Lease strictly in accordance with same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease or as having modified the same. Tenant and Landlord further agree that forbearance or waiver by Landlord to enforce its rights pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity shall not be a waiver of Landlord's right to enforce one or more of its rights in connection with any subsequent default. A receipt by Landlord of rent or other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives the service of notice of Landlord's intention to re-enter as provided for in any statute, or to institute legal proceedings to that end, and also waives all right of redemption in case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge. The terms "enter," "re-enter," "entry" or "re-entry," as used in this Lease, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings. Any reletting of the Premises shall be on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including without limitation a term different than the remaining Lease Term, rental concessions, alterations and repair of the Premises, lease of less than the entire Premises to any tenant). Landlord shall not be liable, nor shall Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord's failure to relet the Premises or collect rent due in respect of such reletting.
25. Tenant's Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of thirty (30) days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary), or such shorter period as is reasonable in the event of an emergency. All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord's obligations hereunder. Nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict Tenant’s rights to self-help set forth in Paragraph 10(b) above or Tenant’s set-off rights set forth in the Work Letter. All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. The term "Landlord" in this Lease shall mean only the owner, for the time being of the Premises, and in the event of the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner's ownership. Any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited solely to its interest in the Building and the Property, and the rents, incomes and profits (including net sales proceeds) therefrom, and in no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Landlord in connection with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other property or assets of Landlord. In no event shall Tenant ever seek, nor shall Landlord be liable for any consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of any default by Landlord hereunder.
26. Waiver of Jury Trial. TENANT AND LANDLORD WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT, OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO.
27. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant's interest and rights hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any first mortgage, now existing or hereafter created on

- 25 –


or against the Premises, and all amendments, restatements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, refinancing, assignments and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant except as set forth herein. Tenant agrees, at the election of the holder of any such mortgage, to attorn to any such holder. Tenant agrees within ten (10) business days after receipt of written demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such commercially reasonable instruments, confirming such subordination and such instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such holder may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant's consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery or recording and in that event such holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such mortgage and had been assigned to such holder. The term "mortgage" whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances, and any reference to the "holder" of a mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of written request of Landlord and opportunity for Tenant to review and request reasonable modifications, Tenant agrees to execute any lease amendment not materially altering the terms of this Lease, or increasing Tenant’s obligations or diminishing Tenant’s rights hereunder, if required by a mortgagee or beneficiary of a deed of trust encumbering real property of which the Premises constitute a part incident to the financing of the real property or Landlord’s leasehold interest in the real property of which the Premises constitute a part. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, as a condition to the effectiveness of this Lease and Tenant’s obligations hereunder, not later than the date of full execution of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from the holder of any current mortgage providing for the recognition of Tenant’s rights, interests and options under this Lease (including Tenant’s self-help and set-off rights provided in this Lease) in the event of a foreclosure, deed given in lieu of foreclosure or sale under the mortgage, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods (“SNDA”). Tenant’s obligation to subordinate this Lease to any future mortgage shall be conditioned upon receiving an SNDA from the holder of such future mortgage.
28. Mechanic's Liens. Tenant has no express or implied authority to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind upon, or in any manner to bind the interest of Landlord or Tenant in the Premises or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant, including without limitation those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises and that it will indemnify and defend Landlord from all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the interest of Landlord in the Premises or under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate written notice of the placing of any lien or encumbrance against the Premises and cause such lien or encumbrance to be discharged within fourteen (14) days of the filing or recording thereof; provided, however, Tenant may contest such liens or encumbrances as long as such contest prevents foreclosure of the lien or encumbrance and Tenant causes such lien or encumbrance to be bonded or insured over in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord within such fourteen (14)- day period.
29. Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees, from time to time, within ten (10) business days after request of Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord, or Landlord's designee, any estoppel certificate requested by Landlord, stating that this Lease is in full force and effect, the date to which rent has been paid, that Landlord is not in default hereunder (or specifying in detail the nature of Landlord's default), the termination date of this Lease and such other matters pertaining to this Lease as may be requested by Landlord. Tenant's obligation to furnish each estoppel certificate in a timely fashion is a material inducement for Landlord's execution of this Lease. No cure or grace period provided in this

- 26 –


Lease shall apply to Tenant's obligations to timely deliver an estoppel certificate if Tenant fails to provide the estoppel certificate within three (3) business days after receipt of Landlord’s second notice. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as its attorney in fact to execute on its behalf and in its name any such estoppel certificate if Tenant fails to execute and deliver the estoppel certificate within three (3) days after receipt of Landlord’s second written request thereof.
30. Environmental Requirements. Except for Hazardous Materials (hereinafter defined) contained in products used by Tenant in de minimis quantities for ordinary cleaning and office purposes, and except for those types and quantities of Hazardous Materials used by Tenant in connection with the Permitted Uses, as more particularly described on Exhibit E attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein (collectively, the “Permitted Hazardous Materials”), which Permitted Hazardous Materials shall be stored, used and disposed of by Tenant in compliance with all Environmental Requirements (hereinafter defined), Tenant shall not permit or cause any party to bring any Hazardous Material upon the Premises or transport, store, use, generate, manufacture or release any Hazardous Material in or about the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon the Commencement Date or prior thereto, Tenant shall contact Landlord to initiate the permit process for the storage of Permitted Hazardous Materials and to complete a Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBPs). Landlord may request from time to time, and Tenant shall then promptly provide, a certification of, and all MSDS sheets with respect to, all Hazardous Substances transported, stored, used, generated, or manufactured in or about the Premises. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall operate its business in the Premises in strict compliance with all Environmental Requirements and shall remediate in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord any Hazardous Materials released on or from the Building by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants or invitees. Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately of any such release of Hazardous Material and also of all orders to comply, notices of violation, and similar documentation, including without limitation written correspondence by, to or from any governmental authority pertaining to environmental matters. Tenant shall complete and certify disclosure statements as reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time relating to Tenant's transportation, storage, use, generation, manufacture or release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises. The term "Environmental Requirements" means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any governmental authority or agency regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder. The term "Hazardous Materials" means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including but not limited to crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquified natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas). As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the "operator" of Tenant's "facility" and the "owner" of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom.
Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord with respect to any and all losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises and loss of rental income from the Premises), claims, demands, actions, suits, damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages), expenses (including, without limitation, remediation, removal, repair, corrective action, or cleanup expenses), and costs (including, without limitation, actual attorneys' fees, consultant fees or expert fees and including, without limitation, removal or management of any asbestos brought into the property or disturbed in breach of the requirements of this Paragraph 30, regardless of whether such removal or management is required by law) which are brought or recoverable against, or suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of any release of Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is obligated to remediate as provided above or

- 27 –


any other breach of the requirements under this Paragraph 30 by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees or invitees, regardless of whether Tenant had knowledge of such noncompliance. The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 30 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Lease.
Landlord and Landlord’s lender shall have access to, and a right to perform inspections and tests of, the Premises to determine Tenant's compliance with Environmental Requirements, its obligations under this Paragraph 30, or the environmental condition of the Premises. Access shall be granted to Landlord and Landlord’s Lender upon Landlord's reasonable prior notice to Tenant, and subject to Tenant’s security requirements, and at such times so as to minimize, so far as may be reasonable under the circumstances, any disturbance to Tenant's operations. Such inspections and tests shall be conducted at Landlord's expense, unless such inspections or tests reveal that Tenant has not complied with any Environmental Requirement, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such inspection and tests. Landlord's receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights that Landlord holds against Tenant.
To the best knowledge of Landlord based solely on the Phase I Report prepared by AECOM dated August 2, 2019 (the “Phase I Report”), (i) no Hazardous Materials are present in, on or under the Premises, the Building or the Property, or the soil, surface water or groundwater thereof, in violation of any applicable Environmental Requirements; (ii) no underground storage tanks are present on the Property; and (iii) no action, proceeding or claim is pending or threatened regarding the Building or the Property concerning any Hazardous Materials or pursuant to any Environmental Requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, under no circumstance shall Tenant be liable for any losses, costs, claims, liabilities or damages (including attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) of any type or nature, directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Materials present at any time on, in, under or about the Premises, the Building or the Property, or the soils, surface water or groundwater thereof, including, without limitation, any Hazardous Materials identified in the Phase I Report, or the violation of any Environmental Requirements, except to the extent that any of the foregoing actually results from the storage, use, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, invitees, subtenants or assignees in violation of applicable Environmental Requirements.
31. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term and any extension thereof, comply with all reasonable rules and regulations at any time or from time to time established by Landlord covering use of the Premises. The current rules and regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit B. In the event of any conflict between said rules and regulations and other provisions of this Lease, the other terms and provisions of this Lease shall control.
32. Security Service. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, while Landlord may patrol the Exterior Premises, Landlord is not providing any security services with respect to the Premises and that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss by theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any unauthorized entry into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises.
Tenant shall have the right (a) to install and maintain its own security systems for the Premises, including but not limited to, card readers and cameras (“Security Systems”) and (b) to secure the Premises, including perimeter fencing, lighting, liftgates, guard shacks and cameras (“Exterior Security”). The Security Systems and Exterior Security shall be considered either a component of the Tenant Improvements or a Tenant-Made Alteration and shall comply with the terms and conditions of the Work Letter or of Paragraph 12 of this Lease, as applicable.

- 28 –


33. Force Majeure and Excused Delay. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be held responsible for delays in the performance of its obligations hereunder when caused by strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inclement weather conditions which delay or preclude construction, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, actions or inactions of governmental or quasi-governmental authorities affecting the design, permitting, construction and Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Work, the Closure Requirements or the Tenant Improvements beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental controls, delay in issuance of permits of Landlord or Tenant, enemy or hostile governmental action, acts of terrorism, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, “unforeseen conditions” within the meaning of Landlord’s contract with its general contractor, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord and Tenant (collectively, “Force Majeure Delays”); provided, however, that Force Majeure Delays shall not excuse Landlord or Tenant for failure to pay any monetary sum due under this Lease except as expressly provided in this Lease. In addition, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be held responsible for delays in the performance of its obligations hereunder due to Excused Delays, as hereinafter defined, and each day of Excused Delay shall delay Landlord’s or Tenant’s obligation to perform such obligation for one (1) day. An “Excused Delay” means a delay caused by an act of God, declared state of emergency or public health emergency, epidemic or pandemic (specifically including but not limited to COVID-19), governmental inaction, restriction, regulation, action and/or control (including without limitation a government mandated quarantine, shelter-in-place requirement or travel ban), war, civil commotion, act of terrorism, and/or order of government or civil or military authorities. An Excused Delay shall not defer the obligation of Landlord or Tenant to pay any monetary sum due under this Lease except as expressly provided in this Lease.
34. Entire Agreement. This Lease constitutes the complete agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof. No representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or written, have been made by Landlord or Tenant, or anyone acting on behalf of Landlord or Tenant, which are not contained herein, and any prior agreements, promises, negotiations, or representations are superseded by this Lease. This Lease may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.
35. Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby. It is also the intention of the parties to this Lease that in lieu of each clause or provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added, as a part of this Lease, a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
36. Brokers. Tenant represents and warrants that it has dealt with no broker, agent or other person in connection with this transaction except for the Broker identified in the Basic Lease Information (“Broker”), and that no broker, agent or other person brought about this transaction, other than the Broker. Tenant agrees to indemnify and defend Landlord with respect to any claims by any broker, agent or person other than Broker claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant with regard to this leasing transaction. Landlord represents and warrants that it has dealt with no broker, agent or other person in connection with this transaction except for the Broker, and that no broker, agent or other person brought about this transaction, other than the Broker. Landlord agrees to indemnify and defend Tenant with respect to any claims by any broker, agent or person other than Broker claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Landlord with regard to this leasing transaction. Landlord shall be responsible for payment of the brokerage commission due in connection with this Lease pursuant to a separate written agreement.
37. Miscellaneous. (a) Any payments or charges due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be considered "Rent” for all purposes of this Lease.

41. Early Occupancy. Subject to Legal Requirements and to the provisions of the Work Letter regarding construction of the Tenant Improvements, upon (i) execution of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant, (ii) payment by Tenant to Landlord of all amounts due in connection with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, and (iii) delivery by Tenant to Landlord of all certificates of insurance required pursuant to Paragraph 9 of this Lease (the date upon which all of the following have the commencement of “Early Occupancy”), Tenant may enter the Premises for the purpose of constructing the Tenant Improvements and installing Tenant’s fixtures, furniture and equipment within the Premises.

During Tenant’s Early Occupancy, (a) Landlord and Tenant shall have mutual access to the Premises, (b) Tenant shall not interfere with Landlord’s construction of the Initial Improvements (as defined in Addendum 3 – Landlord Work Letter) or cause any labor dispute as a result of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, (a) Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent or Operating Expenses, (b) Tenant shall be required to pay for removal of Tenant’s trash from the Premises and the utilities used by Tenant at the Premises, (c) except for the obligation to pay Base Rent and Operating Expenses, the terms of this Lease shall apply to Tenant’s Early Occupancy, and (d) Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord with respect to any loss or damage to the Premises, or any of them, and all liability, loss, or damage arising from any injury to the Building or Exterior Premises or the property of Landlord, its contractors, subcontractors, or materialmen, and any death or personal injury to any person or persons arising out of such installations, unless any such loss, damage, liability, death, or personal injury was caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct, or that of its agents, employees or contractors. Any such occupancy or performance in the Premises shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Work Letter.
42. Renewal Options. Tenant shall have the option to extend the Lease Term in accordance with the provisions of Addendum 5 – Renewal Options attached hereto and made a part hereof.
43. Roof Rights. As a component of the Tenant Improvements or as a Tenant-Made Alteration Tenant shall have the right to access the roof of the Building for purposes of installing, maintaining, repairing, replacing or removing its satellite or wire communications equipment (“Roof Equipment”). Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon the location of the Roof Equipment and any additions or alterations needed to the roof to accommodate the placement of the Roof Equipment, each party acting reasonably. Tenant shall notify Landlord prior to Tenant’s access to the roof and Tenant’s access to the roof shall not void any roof warranty obtained by Landlord in connection with the Landlord’s Work. Tenant shall use Landlord’s roofing contractor in order not to void the roof warranty. Tenant shall be liable to repair any damage to the roof as a result of the installation of the Roof Equipment.
44. Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, except with respect to Tenant’s obligations set forth in Paragraph 22, “Holding Over”, and Paragraph 30, “Environmental Requirements”, in no event shall Tenant be liable to Landlord for any indirect, consequential, special, exemplary, incidental or punitive damages arising from or relating to this Lease.

WORK LETTER
        
ATTACHED TO AND A PART OF THE LEASE
DATED JUNE ____, 2020 BETWEEN


DPIF2 CA 20 CHRISTY STREET
and
BLOOM ENERGY CORPORATION

In connection with the execution of the Lease, Landlord and Tenant have further agreed as follows (all terms herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Lease):

1. Landlord’s Work. As a condition precedent to the Commencement Date, Landlord agrees, at its sole cost and expense, except with respect to any increase in costs and expenses directly resulting from an act (or failure to act) of Tenant, which increase shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand from Landlord, to have completed or have caused the following to occur: (i) all Building Systems and the Building Structure shall be in good working order and repair; (ii) all existing improvements and trade fixtures that were in place in the Premises on the Effective Date including, without limitation, all process piping and the air compressor, shall be in place and in good working order and repair; (iii) installation of a TPO, welded seam, white reflective 60 mil roof replacement (the “Roof Replacement”), which have been approved by Landlord and Tenant; and (iv) the HVAC work as listed in that certain proposal prepared by Oscar Rojas of O.R. HVAC attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “HVAC Work), which has been approved by Landlord and Tenant (all of the foregoing, the “Landlord’s Work”). With respect to the Roof Replacement, Landlord shall provide to Tenant for Tenant’s review the final specifications for the Roof Replacement, and Tenant shall have the right to discuss with Landlord any comments or questions regarding the specifications. In addition, prior to the installation of the Roof Replacement, Landlord and Tenant shall meet to review installation details. Landlord agrees to commence the installation of the Roof Replacement in the June 2020/July 2020 timeframe and the HVAC Work prior to July/August 2020 timeframe, so as to avoid any interruption in Tenant’s construction of the Tenant Improvements. If, despite Landlord’s good faith efforts, the Roof Installation is not completed by July 31, 2020, and the HVAC Work by August 31, 2020, as that date may be extended by prior written agreement of the parties, Landlord and Tenant shall each cause their respective contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with each other: (i) in facilitating the mutual access to the Premises; and (ii) in coordinating the timing of the stages of Roof Installation, HVAC Work and the Tenant Improvements so as to facilitate the completion on a timely basis. In the event that the Landlord’s failure to complete the Roof Replacement during the June 2020/July 2020 timeframe and the HVAC Work during the July/August 2020 timeframe, for any reason other than due to Force Majeure, Excused Delays or the act or omission of Tenant delays Tenant’s Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements by January 1, 2021, for each day of delay caused thereby Tenant shall be entitled to day-for-day abatement of Base Rent pursuant to Paragraph 2(b) of the Lease. The Landlord’s Work shall be performed in compliance with all applicable laws, building codes, regulations and ordinances in effect on the Commencement Date of the Lease, in a good and workmanlike manner, free of defects and using new materials and equipment of good quality.
2. Space Plan; Working Drawings.

        (a) Space Plan. Tenant’s architect CAS Architects, Inc. (“Tenant’s Architect”), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, has prepared a space plan of the Premises dated May 26, 2020, attached

- 46 –


hereto as Exhibit B (“Space Plan”) depicting the initial tenant improvements to be installed in the Premises by Tenant (the “Tenant Improvements”). The Space Plan has been approved by Landlord and Tenant.

        (b) Working Drawings. Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to prepare the final architectural, mechanical (including heating, ventilating and air-conditioning), electrical, plumbing, and structural plans and specifications (“Working Drawings”) necessary to complete the Tenant Improvements, which Working Drawings shall be a natural extension of the Space Plan.
        Tenant also shall cause Tenant’s Architect to submit the finished Working Drawings to Landlord, and Landlord shall review the Working Drawings and grant its written approval or denial thereof within eight (8) business days after receipt thereof, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed (provided in all events Landlord may withhold its consent to the Working Drawings to the extent the same adversely and materially affects the structural integrity of the Building or adversely and materially affects any Building system). Landlord’s failure to respond within such eight (8) business- day period shall be deemed to mean that Landlord has approved the Working Drawings as submitted by Tenant. To the extent Landlord does not provide its consent to the Working Drawings as aforesaid, Landlord shall state, with specificity, Landlord's reasons for such disapproval. The foregoing process shall then be repeated until the Working Drawings are approved, or deemed approved, by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord’s comments shall be limited to any changes reasonably required by Landlord based on its initial review of the Working Drawings and not made by Tenant, as well as any changes required as a result of the changes made by Tenant which could not have been reasonably anticipated by Landlord at the time of making Landlord’s initial comments.

         Subsequent to Landlord's approval of the Working Drawings, any changes to the Working Drawings requested by Tenant shall be subject to the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

         Upon approval of the Working Drawings by Landlord, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense (subject to application of the Allowance (as defined below), shall file the same with the governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of all documents submitted to said governmental agencies and copies of the authorizations to commence work and the permits for the Tenant Improvements issued by said governmental agencies. Tenant shall be permitted to commence the Tenant Improvements without all required permits to the extent that governmental authorities with jurisdiction over the Tenant Improvements permit such work, provided that Tenant shall be obligated to obtain all required governmental authorizations for the Tenant Improvements and deliver copies thereof to Landlord.

3. Tenant Improvements. Tenant hereby agrees that the Tenant Improvements shall be completed by a general contractor (“General Contractor”) approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by Landlord with respect to all of Tenant's obligations set forth in this Section 3. Tenant hereby guarantees to Landlord that the Tenant Improvements shall be completed in a lien-free manner and in strict accordance with the Working Drawings and all applicable laws, permits and governmental approvals and with all required inspections during the course of construction, (it being acknowledged by Landlord and Tenant that the provisions of the Lease regarding the filing mechanics' liens against the Building by or through Tenant shall control with respect to mechanics' liens filed against the Project or Premises as a result of the Tenant Improvements). Landlord shall be entitled to a fee, not to exceed Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00), to reimburse Landlord for its reasonable, third party out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with Landlord’s review of the Working Drawings. Such fee shall be paid to Landlord by

- 47 –


Tenant within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of each of Landlord’s invoices therefor, or, at Tenant’s election, deducted from the Allowance (as defined below).

4. Access to Premises for Performance of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to the Premises for the purposes of commencing the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the provisions of Section 41 of the Lease, “Early Occupancy”.


5. Construction Allowance; Additional Allowance.

        (a) Construction Allowance.

Such Allowance shall only be available for Tenant’s use for a period of twelve (12) months, as that period may be extended by Excusable Delays, following the Early Entry Date and Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to any unused portion of the Allowance remaining as of such date. For purposes of this Work Letter, if Tenant has submitted the required documentation for reimbursement from any unused portion of the Allowance by such date, any such remaining portion of the Allowance shall not be deemed unused.

        (b) Additional Allowance. In addition, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an additional allowance in the amount of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises, of up to Eight Hundred Ninety-Three Thousand Three Hundred Sixty and 00/100 Dollars ($893,360.00) (the “Additional Allowance”), also to be applied to the cost of the Tenant Improvements and related construction costs. Tenant shall have the right, from and after the Early Entry Date until the date upon which the Additional Allowance is exhausted, to request in writing all or any portion of the Additional Allowance, which Landlord shall deposit into Tenant’s designated bank account within five (5) business days after receipt of Tenant’s written request. Landlord shall amortize the Additional Allowance paid to Tenant, together with interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, over the then remaining balance of Term of the Lease, and commencing on the later of the Commencement Date (as that date may be extended by Excusable Delays) and the first day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the Additional Allowance was released to Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord such amortized amount in equal monthly installments.

6. Disbursement of Allowance.

        (a) Disbursement. Landlord shall disburse the Allowance on a monthly draw basis, within twenty (20) days after Tenant submits a request for a specified amount (“Disbursement Amount”), along with a description of the specific portion of the Tenant Improvements that has been completed, together with affidavits and/or partial and/or full waivers of lien and certificates of all subcontractors and materialmen covering all work and materials furnished in connection with such portion of the Tenant Improvements that has been completed and such invoices, contracts, or other supporting data as Landlord may reasonably require, all in compliance with the construction and mechanics' lien Laws of the State of California (each, a “Payment Request”). Provided Landlord receives and reasonably approves the foregoing described documentation, Landlord shall make a disbursement of the Allowance to Tenant in the Disbursement Amount within twenty (20) days of receipt of a Payment Request. Upon the completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall deliver (i) a sworn statement to Landlord that the Tenant Improvements has been completed, (ii) an affidavit from

        (b) Failure to Disburse. If Landlord wrongfully fails to disburse any amount of the Allowance owing to Tenant pursuant to this Work Letter, then Tenant shall have the right to pay Tenant's General Contractor, Tenant's Architect and other agents for the Tenant Improvements, as the case may be, directly, in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the amount so paid within thirty (30) days after Tenant's submission to Landlord of receipted invoices therefor (accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation). If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant within such twenty (30) day period, then Tenant may withhold from future Base Rent due under the Lease the sum owed Tenant, until Tenant is reimbursed in full for the sum, plus interest thereon at the prime rate of Bank of America, plus two percent (2%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall deliver notice to Landlord (and ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary of a deed of trust on the Property, of whom Tenant has been given written notice) a written notice of Tenant's intent to pay Tenant's Contractor, Tenant's Architect or other agents, as the case may be, directly as provided above at least ten (10) business days prior to making any such payment (which notice shall describe the basis on which Tenant asserts that Landlord has wrongfully failed to disburse such amount), and Landlord may deliver to Tenant a good faith written objection before the expiration of such ten (10) business day notice period, (a) setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord's reasons for its claim that Landlord is not required to make the disbursement of the Allowance, and (b) submitting the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the remainder of this Section. If Landlord properly objects and submits the dispute to arbitration in accordance with the preceding sentence, then Tenant shall not exercise such rights unless and until the arbitrator (as defined below) determines that Tenant has the right to exercise such rights. All disputes to be arbitrated pursuant to this Section 5.C.a shall be determined by binding arbitration before JAMS in San Jose, California. The arbitration shall be administered and conducted pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”). Unless the parties otherwise agree, the arbitrator must be a retired judge of the Superior Court of the State of California.

Tenant must give Landlord written notice (hereinafter called the "First Extension Notice") of its election to extend the term of the Lease Term at least nine (9) months, but not more than twelve (12) months, prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term.

(b) Provided that as of the time of the giving of the Second Extension Notice and the Commencement Date of the Second Extension Term(as such terms are defined below), (x) Tenant is the Tenant originally named herein, or is a Permitted Transfer, (y) Tenant or a Permitted Transferee actually occupies all of the Premises initially demised under this Lease and any space added to the Premises, and (z) no Event of Default exists or would exist but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both and provided Tenant has exercised its option for the First Extension Term; then Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term for an additional term of five (5) years (such additional term is hereinafter called the "Second Extension Term") commencing on the day following the expiration of the First Extension Term (hereinafter referred to as the "Commencement Date of the Second Extension Term"). Tenant shall give Landlord written notice (hereinafter called the "Second Extension Notice") of its election to extend the term of the Lease Term at least nine (9) months, but not more than twelve (12) months, prior to the scheduled expiration date of the First Extension Term.

(c)The Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the First Extension Term shall be the Fair Market Rent, as defined and determined pursuant to Paragraph (e) below.

(d) The Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the Second Extension Term shall be the
the Fair Market Rent, as defined and determined pursuant to Paragraph (e) below.

(e)The term "Fair Market Rent" shall mean the Base Rent, expressed as an annual rent per square foot of floor area, which Landlord would have received from leasing the Premises (based on recent comparable transaction in the market where the Building is located) for the Extension Term to an unaffiliated person which is not then a tenant in the Building, assuming that such space were to be delivered in "as-is" condition, and taking into account the rental which such other tenant would most likely have paid for such premises, including market escalations. Fair Market Rent shall not be reduced by reason of any costs or expenses saved by Landlord by reason of Landlord's not having to find a new tenant for the Premises (including without limitation brokerage commissions, cost of improvements

The arbitration process described below shall be limited to the determination of the Base Rent and shall not affect or otherwise reduce or modify the Tenant's obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for such operating expenses and other reimbursable items.

(f)Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Tenant’s First Extension Notice or Tenant’s Second Extension Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant of its good faith determination, taking into consideration the factors listed in the previous paragraph, of the Fair Market Rent, without reference to the Base Rent payable by Tenant during the last year of the initial Lease Term or the last year of the First Extension Term, as applicable. Tenant shall advise Landlord of any objection within ten (10) business days of receipt of Landlord's notice. Failure to respond within the ten (10) day period shall constitute Tenant's rejection of such Fair Market Rent. If Tenant objects or is deemed to have objected, Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within thirty (30) days following Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice. If the parties cannot agree, each acting in good faith, then the arbitration procedure provided below shall determine the Fair Market Rent.

(g)Arbitration to determine the Fair Market Rent shall be in accordance with the Real Estate Valuation Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Unless otherwise required by state law, arbitration shall be conducted in the metropolitan area where the Building is located by a single arbitrator unaffiliated with either party. Either party may elect to arbitrate by sending written notice to the other party and the Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association within five (5) days after the thirty (30) day negotiating period provided in Paragraph (d), invoking the binding arbitration provisions of this paragraph. Within ten (10) business days of receipt of the identity of the arbitrator, Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the arbitrator their respective proposal of Fair Market Rent. The arbitrator must choose between the Landlord's proposal and the Tenant's proposal and may not compromise between the two or select some other amount. The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by Landlord if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Tenant and by Tenant if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Landlord; and shall be borne equally otherwise. If the arbitrator has not determined the Fair Market Rent as of the end of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay one hundred five percent (105%) of the Base Rent in effect under the Lease as of the end of the Lease Term until the Fair Market Rent is determined as provided herein. Upon such determination, Landlord and Tenant shall make the appropriate adjustments to the payments between them.

(h)The parties consent to the jurisdiction of any appropriate court to enforce the arbitration provisions of this Addendum and to enter judgment upon the decision of the arbitrator.

(i)Except for the Base Rent as determined above, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises during the First Extension Term and Second Extension Terms shall be on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term or the First Extension Term; provided, however, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Lease Term pursuant to this addendum or to any allowances, credits or abatements or options to expand, contract, renew or extend the Lease.

(j)If Tenant does not send the First Extension Notice within the period set forth in Paragraph (a), Tenant's right to extend the Lease Term for the First Extension Term and Second Extension Term shall automatically terminate. If Tenant does not give the Second Extension Notice

within the period set forth in paragraph (b) above, Tenant's right to extend the Lease Term for the Second Extension Term shall automatically terminate. Time is of the essence as to the giving of the First Extension Notice and Second Extension Notice and the notice of Tenant’s objection under Paragraph (d).

(k)Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or otherwise improve the Premises for the First Extension Term and the Second Extension Term. The Premises shall be tendered on the Commencement Date of the First Extension Term and the Commencement Date of the Second Extension Term in "as-is" condition.

(l)If the Lease is extended for the First Extension Term and the Second Extension Term, then Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the extension of the Lease Term and the other provisions applicable thereto.

(m)If Tenant exercises its right to extend the term of the Lease for the First Extension Term or Second Extension Term pursuant to this Addendum, the term "Lease Term" as used in the Lease, shall be construed to include, when practicable, such Extension Term except as provided in Paragraph (j) above.

        (n)  The determination of Base Rent does not reduce the Tenant's obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for Operating Expenses and other reimbursable items as set forth in the Lease, and Tenant shall reimburse and pay Landlord as set forth in the Lease with respect to such Operating Expenses and other items with respect to the Premises during such Extension Term.

Any amount in excess of the Maximum Aggregate Portfolio Purchase Price that is refunded shall be deemed to have reduced pro rata the Aggregate Purchase Price of all Facilities.
(iii)Following the reissuance of invoices pursuant to Section 2.6(2), if Buyer has made any over-payments or under-payments in respect of such invoices, Seller shall apply such over-payments as a credit against, or such under-payments as an addition to, the amount owed by Buyer with respect to the invoices to be paid on the final Invoice Due Date of the Adjustment Quarter (or, if such Invoice Due Date has passed, the next Invoice Due Date after the reissuance of invoices pursuant to Section 2.6(2)); provided, however, that if such adjustment results in Buyer owing no payments to Seller with respect to such invoices but fails to fully compensate Buyer for prior over-payments, Seller shall remit the remaining balance of any over-payments to Buyer within thirty (30) days following the applicable Invoice Due Date.

(ii)With respect to any Standby Facility, (i) Buyer’s consent and acknowledgement that Seller has met the Standby Facility Conditions for such Standby Facility, as of a given date, in its sole discretion, (ii) Buyer’s acknowledgement that it has received all of the applicable Material Project Documents for such Standby Facility, and any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto, (iii) Buyer’s consent (with respect to satisfaction or waiver of the Standby Facility Conditions) to any amendments, modifications, or supplements to any Material Project Document for such Standby Facility, and (iv) Buyer’s consent (with respect to satisfaction or waiver of the Standby Facility Conditions) to the addition of a document or contract as an additional Material Project Document, that occurs after the Agreement Date, in each case, may be provided by electronic mail.
(iii)Any Standby Facility for which an Assignment Date has not occurred on or before the last Available Assignment Date shall, as of the day immediately after the last Available Assignment Date, lose its status as a Standby Facility, and Schedule 1 shall be amended to the extent necessary to reflect such change. The next update of the Project Model after the last Available Assignment Date shall reflect removal from the Project Model of all such Standby Facilities described in the preceding sentence, and any Aggregate Purchase Price adjustments with respect to any such removals (without limiting any other adjustments set forth in Section 2.6) shall be incorporated therein.
(iv)Seller shall cause to be obtained, as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event prior to the Commencement of Operations of the applicable Approved Facility, any consents or approvals of any Transmitting Utilities that are required for a legal, valid and binding assignment from the applicable Project Company to Buyer or the applicable ESA Customer (as applicable) of any Interconnection Agreement (or interconnection application, as applicable), in each case pursuant to the terms thereof, in respect of any Approved Facility, to the extent such consent or approval is not obtained on or prior to the Agreement Date (or, in respect of a Standby Facility, the Assignment Date).
(v)With respect to any Approved Facility that is not a Standby Facility, as of the Agreement Date, Seller makes the representations and warranties to Buyer that are set forth in Part IV of Schedule 2.10.
Section l.Commencement of Operations Date Deadline.
(i)On or before [***], Seller will, in good faith and upon the exercise of reasonable due diligence, provide to Buyer a draft of a written list (the “Delayed Facilities List”) identifying those Facilities (and Delayed Ancillary Equipment) for which Seller believes, after due inquiry, that none of the events described in clauses (2) through (4) of the definition of “Placed in Service” will be achieved on or before the Commencement of Operations Date Deadline (collectively, the “Delayed Facilities” and each, a “Delayed Facility”). Buyer shall have the opportunity to review the Delayed Facilities List, and the Parties shall cooperate during the month of [***] 2020 to make such modifications to the Delayed Facilities List as the Parties together deem necessary to reflect their collective best estimate as to the identification of the



Delayed Facilities. The Delayed Facilities List, including any such modifications, shall be deemed final in the form it exists on [***], 2020; provided, that nothing in this Section 2.11 shall in any way limit Buyer’s rights or remedies hereunder or any ESA, Site License or other Facility Contract. Seller may, with the written consent of Buyer (which consent may be provided by electronic mail), add Facilities to the Delayed Facility List if it becomes clear that, after due inquiry, none of the events described in clauses (2) through (4) of the definition of “Placed in Service” are likely to be achieved on or before the Commencement of Operations Date Deadline.
(ii)No later than [***], 2020, within the body of the final Delayed Facilities List, Seller shall designate one or more Project Companies (or Seller) as assignees and novatees of all of the rights, benefits, interests, duties and liabilities of Buyer under each ESA, Site License and other Facility Contract to which Buyer is party in respect of (and solely as applicable to) each Delayed Facility and each Non-Scheduled Facility (each such Project Company (or Seller) in such capacity, a “Seller Facilities Assignee”). Each Seller Facilities Assignee shall, as of [***], 2020 and at all times until consummation of each applicable 2020 Facilities Assignment, (i) be in good standing under the laws of its state of formation or incorporation, (ii) have all corporate or other organizational power and authority to own, lease and operate its business as currently conducted (and as would be conducted if each applicable 2020 Facilities Assignment were to be consummated at such time) and (iii) be duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction that its business, as currently conducted (and as would be conducted if each applicable 2020 Facilities Assignment were to be consummated at such time), would require it to be so qualified, and Seller shall cause the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i) – (iii) to continue be true and correct in all respects as and when required pursuant to this sentence.
(iii)On or after [***], 2020, Buyer may send a notice (each, an “Assignment Notice”) to any ESA Customer who is a counterparty to an ESA in respect of which a Delayed Facility has been identified on the final Delayed Facilities List, or a Non-Scheduled Facility exists as of such date (and any other necessary Person in Buyer’s sole discretion). Each Assignment Notice shall notify the ESA Customer or other Person of the intention of Buyer, Seller and the applicable Seller Facilities Assignee to consummate a transaction in which all of the rights, interests, benefits, duties and liabilities of Buyer in the applicable ESA, Site License and any other Facility Contracts to which Buyer is party in respect of such Delayed Facility or Non-Scheduled Facility will be assigned and novated to, and assumed by, such Seller Facilities Assignee (each such transaction, a “2020 Facilities Assignment”) and shall indicate that such Persons intend for such 2020 Facilities Assignment to be consummated no later than December 31, 2020.
(iv)With respect to any Delayed Facility or Non-Scheduled Facility in respect of which Buyer has sent an Assignment Notice, Seller shall use (and shall cause the applicable Seller Facilities Assignee to use) commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable 2020 Facilities Assignment to be consummated on or before December 31, 2020 (subject to extension in the sole discretion of Buyer). The Parties acknowledge that any applicable 2020 Facilities Assignment shall not be consummated on or before December 31, 2020, to the extent it would require for its validity the consent or waiver of a Person other than Buyer, Seller or their
49


Affiliates (and such consent or waiver has not been obtained). With respect to any such 2020 Facilities Assignment not consummated by December 31, 2020, Seller shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent or waiver and any other documents or other items so that such 2020 Facilities Assignment is consummated and so that Buyer will have no responsibility for any Delayed Facility or Non-Scheduled Facility after December 31, 2020. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.11, including the use (or lack of use) by any Person of any efforts to cause any 2020 Facilities Assignment to be consummated, shall limit in any way the rights and remedies of Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(7) or Section 3.4(1)(xii). Upon a 2020 Facilities Assignment being consummated for a Facility, the fuel cell system associated therewith shall no longer be a “Facility,” the real property of such fuel cell system shall no longer be a “Site”, and the energy services agreement for both of the aforementioned shall no longer be an “ESA” in each case under and subject to this Agreement.
(v)With respect to any Delayed Facility or Non-Scheduled Facility, upon the consummation of an applicable 2020 Facilities Assignment, Seller shall refund to Buyer any payments made pursuant to Section 2.4 in respect of such Facility (or Delayed Ancillary Equipment) pursuant to Section 2.11(8), together with any other amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11(8); provided, that Seller may pay such refund and other amounts to Buyer on an earlier date than required pursuant to Section 2.11(8), subject to reasonable coordination with Buyer, and if Seller makes any such earlier payment then the amount of such payment shall be netted against the aggregate Late Facilities Payments due pursuant to Section 2.11(8) (it being agreed by the Parties that such earlier payments shall be excluded from the Project Model pursuant to Section 2.6(5)). Neither Section 12.6 nor Section 12.9 shall provide any excuse from, or justification for delay or reduction of, the obligations of Seller set forth in this sentence.
(vi)Seller shall use its good faith efforts at all times to facilitate and maintain a productive and harmonious business relationship between (on the one hand) each applicable ESA Customer, Site Licensor and any other Person whose Contract relates to any Delayed Facility or Non-Scheduled Facility that comprises a part of the Delayed Facilities List or a 2020 Facilities Assignment, and (on the other hand) Buyer. Such efforts shall include keeping each such Person (but, with respect to Persons other than the applicable ESA Customer and Buyer, only to the extent reasonably necessary in furtherance of a 2020 Facilities Assignment or in connection with a Facility in respect of which Facility Services will be performed hereunder) informed of and involved in the process of negotiating such 2020 Facilities Assignment, providing drafts, documents and responses to inquiries with reasonable promptness and making appropriate personnel available to such Persons.
(vii)With respect to any Non-Scheduled Facility or Delayed Facility that forms a part of a 2020 Facilities Assignment, before the effectiveness of such 2020 Facilities Assignment, neither Seller nor Buyer will Disparage the other Party in writing to any ESA Customer in respect of a Delayed Facility or a Non-Scheduled Facility; provided, in no event will either Party be required to make a factual misrepresentation. This Section 2.11(7) shall not preclude either Party from (i) providing truthful statements in any governmental or judicial inquiry or proceeding or (ii) exercising rights protected by applicable law. For purposes of this Section 2.11(7),



Disparage” means, with respect to a given Person, to make comments or statements about such Person with intent to cause reputational harm, impugn, criticize, defame, malign, disparage, or cast in a negative light such Person’s character, honesty, integrity, morality, business acumen, qualification, abilities, quality or performance.
(viii)Late Facility Payment.
xxiii.On or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the Commencement of Operations Date Deadline (the “Calculation Date”), Seller shall deliver to Buyer an Excel spreadsheet substantially in the form of Exhibit L that (x) lists all of the Late Facilities, Facilities in respect of which a 2020 Facilities Assignment has been consummated and Delayed Facilities returned to Seller (or in respect of which Buyer has otherwise exercised any refund or removal remedies) during the final Calendar Quarter of 2020 pursuant to Section 2.4(7) or Section 3.4(1)(xii)(B) and (y) calculates the Late Facility Payment for each such Facility (or Delayed Ancillary Equipment).
xxiv.The Late Facility Payment in respect of each Facility (or Delayed Ancillary Equipment) described in Section 2.11(8)(i)(x) shall be calculated as of the Calculation Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.6, as the sum of: (I) any and all refunds remaining due and payable pursuant to Section 2.4(7), Section 2.11(5) or Section 3.4(1)(xii) in respect of such Facility (or Delayed Ancillary Equipment), plus (II) a holding cost which shall be calculated by multiplying a rate of return that is equal to [***] by each payment in respect of the Aggregate Purchase Price in respect of such Facility actually paid by Buyer hereunder, such rate of return to be applied with respect to each such payment from and after the date such payment is made until the Calculation Date (or, if earlier, until the date Seller refunds such payment pursuant to Section 2.11(5)), plus (III) subject in the aggregate to a cap in the amount of [***] minus the sum of any reimbursements credited to Buyer after the Agreement Date pursuant to Section 2.6(1)(xi), reimbursement in full by Seller of any transactional costs, fees and expenses (including the reasonable costs, fees and expenses of legal counsel and modeling and financial advisors) incurred by Buyer, or by Buyer’s Affiliates or Representatives on its behalf, in connection with the matters described in this Section 2.11 (including the negotiation of consents and amendments with ESA Customers and other necessary Persons), minus (IV) any reductions in other Facilities’ purchase prices effected no later than in the Project Model update corresponding with the Calendar Quarter ending in September 2020 and made because of delays in construction with respect to the Facility forming the basis for such refund. For the avoidance of doubt, the Late Facility Payment shall not be calculated with any duplication of positive or negative amounts to the extent paid by Seller to Buyer as of an earlier date pursuant to Section 2.11(5).
xxv.Seller will pay to Buyer the sum of all Late Facility Payments no later than [**] after the Calculation Date. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting any of Buyer’s rights, benefits or remedies hereunder, if Seller fails to timely make such
51


payment to Buyer when required pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Buyer may immediately set off any such obligations of Seller against any amounts owed or to become owed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.3(6).
xxvi.To the extent not already effected after the Commencement of Operations Deadline, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect a 2020 Facilities Assignment for any remaining Delayed Facilities, Non-Scheduled Facilities or Late Facilities. Except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by Buyer, payment by Seller of any Late Facility Payments shall not constitute a waiver, release or discharge (or be deemed to effect any of the foregoing), with respect to any applicable Facility, Delayed Ancillary Equipment or Non-Scheduled Facility, of any of Buyer’s rights and remedies hereunder (except Buyer’s rights to receive Late Facility Payments, to the extent received) or under any ESA or other Facility Contract.
xxvii.In the event of a conflict between a calculation set forth in the Excel spreadsheet of Exhibit L and this Section 2.11(8), this Section 2.11(8) shall govern.
(ix)Upon completion of all necessary 2020 Facilities Assignments, Seller and Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely amend this Agreement to update Schedule 1 and make any other necessary changes, in each case to reflect the matters described in this Section 2.11 and the composition of the final Scheduled Portfolio.
Section m.[***] ESA Fuel Cell Capacity Tag Charges
. Buyer and Seller hereby agree that any obligations of Buyer in its capacity as “Supplier” pursuant to the [***] ESA to pay or reimburse the applicable ESA Customer for any “Fuel Cell Capacity Tag” charges, including specifically the reimbursement obligations referenced in Section 2.5(b) of the [***] ESA, shall be promptly reimbursed to Buyer by Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting any of Buyer’s rights, benefits or remedies hereunder, if Seller fails to timely make such reimbursement to Buyer when required pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Buyer may immediately set off any such reimbursement obligations of Seller against any amounts owed or to become owed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.3(6). This Section 2.12 supersedes Section 1(c) of the Second PUMA Consent.
ARTICLE III.
DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION OF FACILITIES AND OTHER WORK
Section n.Access to Site
. Seller shall be responsible for ascertainment of the suitability of the Sites, the environment around the Sites, the Sites’ soil condition and other ground conditions for the construction and operation of the Facilities and the performance by Seller of all of its obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 3.9. As between Seller and Buyer, Seller shall be solely responsible for all Site Preparation Services at Seller’s cost. Buyer shall provide Seller with access to the Sites in a manner consistent with the applicable ESAs and Site Licenses to permit Seller to deliver and



install each Facility at the applicable Sites and to connect the applicable Facility to the distribution and transmission facilities of the Transmitting Utility, as applicable. If, prior to the Facility’s achievement of any of the events described in clauses (2) through (4) of the definition of “Placed in Service” with respect to any Facility, an ESA Customer requires a change in the location of a Site from that specified in a Purchase Order or applicable Site License, whether temporary or permanent, and such change in location is permitted under the applicable ESA, (a) Buyer shall submit a written notice to Seller setting forth the details of such location change (unless an ESA Customer has notified Seller directly, in which case Seller shall notify Buyer), (b) Seller shall administer and perform the Site Preparation Services as required for that changed location to the extent required and in accordance with the relevant ESA and Site License, and (c) Seller shall bear all costs associated with such relocation; 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 clause (c).
Section o.Delivery; Title; Risk of Loss
.
(i)Delivery of each Facility (and each Bloom System and each item of Ancillary Equipment and BOF comprising such Facility) shall be DDP (Incoterms 2010) to its Site, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect. Title to each Bloom System and each item of Ancillary Equipment (other than Delayed Ancillary Equipment, if applicable) and BOF shall pass to Buyer upon the Purchase Date of such Facility, and such title shall be good and marketable and free of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. Title to any Delayed Ancillary Equipment shall pass to Buyer upon the Purchase Date for such Delayed Ancillary Equipment, and such title shall be good and marketable and free of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. From and after the Purchase Date of each Facility or any Delayed Ancillary Equipment, all risk of loss or damage to such Facility or Delayed Ancillary Equipment shall be borne by Buyer.
(ii)System Attributes
xxviii.Buyer has all title, right and interest in and to all of the System Attributes arising under and in connection with each Facility purchased by Buyer hereunder. It is understood that Schedule 1 sets forth (i) the System Attributes to which ESA Customers are entitled under their respective ESAs, for which Seller will, on behalf of Buyer, administer, and (ii) the System Attributes that Buyer has agreed to transfer to Seller pursuant to this Section 3.2(2). To the extent any such ESA Customer is entitled to System Attributes (or any financial benefit or reimbursement in respect thereof) pursuant to its ESA or Site License, Seller shall obtain and maintain such System Attributes on behalf of and for the benefit of such ESA Customer, and shall provide to such ESA Customer such financial benefit or reimbursement (if applicable), in each case without any additional consideration hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, solely with respect to [***], Buyer will have all right, title and interest in and to the Connecticut Low
53


and Zero Emission Renewable Energy Credit (the “CT LREC”) procured by the applicable ESA Customer, as contemplated in Section 4.2(a) of [***]. Seller is responsible for making any deposits required under Section 4.2(a)(i)(b) of [***] and, in the event such deposits are returned, they will be returned to Seller (unless earlier paid to Seller pursuant to Section 4.3(5)). Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such ESA Customer’s procurement of the CT LRECs pursuant to the [***], without any additional consideration hereunder. In the event the proceeds of, or monies in respect of, any System Attributes are received by a Party who is not entitled to such proceeds or monies pursuant to this Section 3.2(2), such receiving Party shall promptly remit such proceeds or monies to the entitled Person. In the event an ESA obligates Buyer to consult or cooperate with the applicable ESA before obtaining any System Attributes in the future, Seller shall perform such consultation and cooperation on behalf of Buyer.
xxix.With respect to Seller’s obligations under this Section 3.2(2), (A) the obligations of Buyer pursuant to (i) Section 4.2(e) of [***] to deliver “RECs” and “Green-e Certification Eligible RECs”, in each case as defined therein, (ii) Section 5.2 of the [***] in respect of the CT LRECs, (iii) Section 4.2 of the [***] ESA in respect of any “Environmental Attributes” (as defined thereunder) pursuant to the Massachusetts Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards, and (iv) Section 2 of the Omnibus Amendment to the [***] ESA, dated as of August 27, 2019, in respect of the “Environmental Incentives” described therein (including obtaining and maintaining such “Environmental Incentives”, without regard to the allocation of benefits pursuant thereto as between Buyer and such ESA Customer), shall be, in each of the cases described by any of the foregoing clauses (i) – (iv), deemed System Attributes to which an ESA Customer is entitled pursuant to its ESA; provided, that with respect to such clause (iv), Buyer shall be entitled hereunder to the allocation of benefits of the applicable “Environmental Incentives” agreed pursuant to Section 2 of the Omnibus Amendment to the [***] ESA, and (B) Seller is entitled to the SC Incentives; provided, that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall enter into a Contract in respect of the SC Incentives without Buyer’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such Contract results in Seller or such Affiliate benefitting from such SC Incentives, directly or indirectly (including by virtue of a Contract with an ESA Customer or its Affiliate).
(iii)Customer Equipment.
xxx.Solely with respect to the ESAs in which Buyer has agreed to install and perform any other obligations (including making any payments) with respect to Customer Equipment, Seller and Buyer hereby agree that (1) the Customer Equipment does not and shall not be deemed to comprise a part of the Facility pursuant to this Agreement, and the ownership of the Customer Equipment shall be as set forth in the applicable ESA, (2) title to and risk of loss with respect to Customer Equipment, or any Component thereof, shall not at any time pass to Buyer, (3) to the extent “Provider” or “Supplier” (or similarly situated Person), as the case may be, has any obligations with respect to Customer



Equipment under the applicable ESAs, Seller shall perform such obligations for no additional consideration hereunder in accordance with (i) the requirements set forth therein, which shall include any obligations of Buyer under any ESA in respect of Customer Equipment to make any payments to the applicable ESA Customer, or perform any repairs and replacements for such ESA Customer and (ii) the Performance Standards. Buyer shall have no obligations in connection with the Customer Equipment hereunder, including any obligation to seek any remedy under Article V in respect of any Customer Equipment.
xxxi.With respect to any Facility and Site in connection with which Customer Equipment is used, Seller shall at all times from and after the commencement of performance of Installation Services (and during the performance of Facility Services) ensure that Buyer has the necessary rights to access, install, test, commission, operate, maintain and decommission any such Customer Equipment, to the extent required for (x) Buyer to perform and satisfy its duties, obligations and liabilities, and exercise its rights, interests and benefits, in each case pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement, ESA, Site License or other Facility Contract, and the Transaction Documents, and (y) Seller to perform and satisfy its duties, obligations and liabilities hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, upon any request made in writing by Buyer in its sole discretion, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within thirty (30) days of receiving such written request (but in no event later than ninety (90) days of receiving such written request), (A) facilitate amendments, modifications or supplements to any applicable ESA, Site License or Facility Contract that Buyer considers to be reasonably necessary in furtherance of Seller’s obligations under this Section 3.2(3)(ii) and (B) facilitate the execution and delivery by Buyer and such ESA Customer (or its Affiliate) of other relevant, reasonably necessary access agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer. Under no circumstances shall Customer Equipment be owned by any Person other than Seller or the applicable ESA Customer (or such ESA Customer’s Affiliate), and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not permit or suffer to exist any ownership of Customer Equipment by any of Seller’s Affiliates. No Customer Equipment shall be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of other than in accordance with the foregoing.
(iv)Seller Attributes. In consideration of Seller’s obligations hereunder, Buyer hereby assigns and transfers to Seller (i) the capacity attributes arising under and in connection with any Facility and (ii) any cash incentives awarded on January 4, 2019, by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), arising out of the Facility contemplated by the [***] (“SC Incentives”), in any case described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), only in respect of which such assignment and transfer is expressly referenced and identified in Schedule 1 (such assigned and transferred capacity and other attributes and incentives are the “Seller Attributes”), to the extent such attributes can be transferred (and except to the extent any ESA Customer has a right or interest therein under its ESA), and any and all proceeds thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller is responsible for all of the administration of the Seller Attributes and Buyer shall have no
55


obligation in connection therewith. Buyer shall have no obligation to seek any remedy under Article V in respect of any Seller Attributes.
Section p.Pre-COO Equipment Warranty
.
(i)Subject to Section 5.6 and Section 13.5, Seller warrants to Buyer that, with respect to each Facility, during the period commencing on the achievement of the Delivery Milestone and continuing until achievement of Commencement of Operations for such Facility (the “Pre-COO Equipment Warranty Period”), (i) each Bloom System and each Battery Solution for such Facility shall conform to the Specifications for Bloom Systems and Battery Solutions, respectively, set forth on Schedule 3.3(1), and (ii) each such Facility and its Components shall be free from defects in design, materials and workmanship that prevent such Facility from achieving Commencement of Operations (collectively, the “Pre-COO Equipment Warranty”).
(ii)Seller shall correct, at Seller’s sole expense, all Bloom Systems, items of Ancillary Equipment or BOF provided, or Installation Services performed, by it or its subcontractors under this Agreement which proves to be in breach of the Pre-COO Equipment Warranty during the Pre-COO Equipment Warranty Period for such Facility. Any action by Buyer for a breach of the Pre-COO Equipment Warranty with respect to a Facility must be brought prior to achievement of Commencement of Operations for such Facility; provided, however, that such limitation shall not bar Buyer from raising a warranty claim under the General Product Warranty for such Facility (including with respect to any action for breach of the Pre-COO Equipment Warranty that is waived before completion of warranty work for purposes of a Facility’s achieving any conditions precedent to any Milestone hereunder). WITHOUT LIMITING SELLER’S OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY BUYER PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.8, AND/OR WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS PURSUANT TO SECTION 13.3, BUYER’S SOLE REMEDY FOR A BREACH OF THE PRE-COO EQUIPMENT WARRANTY SHALL BE THE CORRECTION OF DEFECTIVE FACILITY PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 3.3(2).
(iii)The Pre-COO Equipment Warranty may only be transferred in accordance with Section 14.4.
(iv)Any period of time in which the Pre-COO Equipment Warranty is in breach for a Facility shall not extend the Pre-COO Equipment Warranty Period for such Facility beyond its Commencement of Operations Date.
Section q.Installation Services
.
(i)Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Service Providers to, perform all development, design, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning services necessary in connection with the installation, interconnection, testing, start-up, and commissioning the



Facilities to achieve Commencement of Operation (collectively, “Installation Services”), including the following activities:
xxxii.Seller shall cause to be performed all studies, reports and applications (in the name of Buyer) that are necessary for interconnection of each Facility to the distribution and transmission facilities of the applicable Transmitting Utility. To the extent not already paid, Seller will pay on behalf of Buyer as “Supplier”, all amounts required to be paid under Section 6.1(f) of [***].
xxxiii.Seller shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained (where required, in the name of Buyer or each ESA Customer, as the case may be), all Permits, PTOs and Third Party Consents necessary to design, install, commission, construct, occupy, operate and maintain each Facility at each Site, including related performance assurance or other credit support requirements (including as required pursuant to any ESA, Site License, Incentive Agreement or Legal Requirements); provided, that Seller shall have no liability for any failure to obtain or maintain any Permit or Third Party Consent to the extent attributable to a breach by Buyer of its obligations in this Agreement or a breach by an ESA Customer of its ESA; provided, further, that absent Buyer’s willful misconduct, the preceding proviso shall not limit the rights and duties of the Parties under Section 3.4(1)(xii).
xxxiv.Without limiting Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.4, Seller shall perform all design, permitting and installation work in accordance with Schedule 3.4(1)(iii), including any and all upgrades required to be performed in respect of the applicable Facility pursuant to the requirements of the Interconnection Agreement (whether or not executed) or as otherwise required by the applicable Transmitting Utility.

57


License to provide physical security for such Facility to the extent such performance is required thereunder.
xl.If requested by Buyer, Seller shall provide operator training and associated training materials to personnel and representatives of Buyer sufficient to instruct Buyer on operation of such Facility in connection with safety requirements and in conformance with Prudent Electrical Practices.
xli.Prior to Commencement of Operations of each Facility, Seller shall perform a performance test not less stringent than the testing applied to its fuel cell power generating systems for any other major customer of Seller of each Bloom System incorporated into such Facility and the applicable BOF and Ancillary Equipment in the presence of Buyer (if Buyer elects to attend), and such Bloom Systems and applicable BOF and Ancillary Equipment shall have passed such test; provided, Delayed Ancillary Equipment may be tested later in the presence of Buyer (if Buyer elects to attend). Seller shall, upon request by Buyer, inform Buyer of the date on which it expects to conduct the performance test of any Facility (or, if applicable, Delayed Ancillary Equipment) and cooperate with Buyer to provide Buyer with the opportunity to observe such testing to the extent practicable, provided, that in no event shall Seller be required to delay the performance of any performance test in order to allow Buyer to witness such test if all other pre-testing requirements have been satisfied.

a.Subject to Section 3.4(1)(xiv), promptly following achievement of the Delivery Milestone for each Facility, Seller shall provide installation, inspection, commissioning and start-up for such Facility in accordance with the Performance Standards, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Facility to achieve Commencement of Operations within ninety (90) days of the date of achievement of the Deposit Milestone for such Facility, as set forth in Certificate of Deposit Milestone Completion for such Facility, but in no event later than any deadline for such Commencement of Operations that is



applicable to such Facility in its ESA. Seller shall promptly certify in writing to Buyer when each Facility achieves Commencement of Operations by delivery of a Certificate of COO. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Facility shall be connected by Seller to the applicable natural gas source, water source, SCADA, and Electrical Interconnection Facilities no later than the Commencement of Operations Date thereof.
b.If any Facility does not achieve any of the events described in clauses (2) through (4) of the definition of “Placed in Service” by the earlier of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days of the payment of the portion of Aggregate Purchase Price set forth in Section 2.3(2) for such Facility and (ii) the applicable deadline in the Facility’s ESA (such earlier date, the “Placed in Service Deadline”), then Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect in writing that Seller (I) remove such Facility from the initial Site and restore such Site in accordance with Section 4.10(2) and (II) relocate the Bloom Systems to a substitute Site (subject to and in accordance with Section 4.8(2)), whether in the Scheduled Portfolio or otherwise, subject to compliance with Facility Contracts and agreement with ESA Customers entirely as a part of the Installation Services and at Seller’s cost and expense, and if Buyer makes such election, Seller shall complete performance of such obligations on or before the date that is ninety (90) days after the Placed in Service Deadline (such ninetieth (90th) day, the “Reinstallation Deadline”). If (x) Buyer does not exercise such right, which it may or may not do in its sole discretion, in respect of any Facility within five (5) Business Days of the Placed in Service Deadline thereof or (y) Buyer exercises such right with respect to any Facility, and such Facility has not achieved any of the events described in clauses (2) through (4) of the definition of “Placed in Service” before the earlier of (p) the Reinstallation Deadline or (q) the Commencement of Operations Date Deadline, then Seller shall refund all payments previously paid by Buyer for such Facility, (A) in accordance with Section 2.6 for refunds that occur before the end of the Calendar Quarter ending in September 2020 and (B) in accordance with Section 2.11(8) for refunds that occur after the end of the Calendar Quarter ending in September 2020, and in either such case contemplated by the foregoing clauses (A) or (B), such Facility shall be subject to (but without duplication of any payment obligations set forth in) Buyer’s rights and remedies pursuant to Section 4.10(1) (provided, that without limiting any of Buyer’s other rights and remedies pursuant to Section 4.10(1), Buyer shall not exercise the remedy described in Section 4.10(1)(iv) with respect to an affected Facility during ongoing negotiations of a 2020 Facilities Assignment in respect of such Facility, as long as consummation of such 2020 Facilities Assignment without unreasonable delay remains reasonably likely). If Seller reasonably anticipates that any Facility is reasonably likely to not achieve any of the events described in clauses (2) through (4) of the definition of “Placed in Service” on or before its Placed in Service Deadline, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing, and in any event no later
59


than ten (10) Business Days in advance of such Placed in Service Deadline. Nothing in this Section 3.4(1)(xii)(B) shall limit Buyer’s rights and remedies hereunder under Section 2.4(7), Section 2.9, Section 2.11, Section 12.8 or if there is a Seller Default.
c.Neither Section 12.6 nor Section 12.9 shall provide any excuse or justification for delay or reduction of Seller’s requirements to timely perform its obligations, including in respect of Buyer’s remedies, under this Section 3.4(1)(xii).
xliv.[Intentionally omitted.]
xlv.If any ESA provides that items of Delayed Ancillary Equipment may be installed or commissioned after the Commencement of Operations Date, Seller may install or commission such Delayed Ancillary Equipment after such Commencement of Operations Date, but Seller shall complete such installation and commissioning in accordance with the applicable Facility Contracts, and Seller shall perform and successfully complete all necessary acts under the applicable Interconnection Agreement (including performance testing) and shall have obtained permission from the applicable Person granting Buyer permission to interconnect, if applicable, such Delayed Ancillary Equipment with the distribution or transmission facilities of the Transmitting Utility, and in no event may Seller continue any such installation, commissioning or interconnecting after the Commencement of Operations Date Deadline.
xlvi.Post COD Deliverables.
d.With respect to each Facility, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver by uploading to the Data Room a final executed IE Certificate by the Invoice Due Date of the month in which such Facility’s Commencement of Operations Date occurs, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such Commencement of Operations Date; provided, however, if the IE Certificate is not final due to any event or circumstance that prevented the IE from performing its obligations within such period, and Seller is diligently and in good faith working to facilitate IE’s complete review, such period shall be automatically extended for a period of thirty (30) additional days (but no longer than sixty (60) days from the date such Facility achieves its Commencement of Operations).
e.With respect to each Facility, Seller shall deliver by uploading to the Data Room each of the following within sixty (60) days of such Facility’s Commencement of Operations Date: (I) Seller Deliverables set forth on Schedule 3.4(1)(xv) specified to be delivered before the Commencement of Operations Date to Buyer thereon, (II) to the extent not yet delivered, in connection with Delayed Ancillary Equipment, any lists and copies of items described in

g.UCC-1 Fixture Filing.  No later than ten (10) days after a Facility reaches the Commencement of Operations Date, Seller will file a UCC-1 fixture filing, naming the Buyer as “Secured Party” (or any other applicable capacity of the Buyer) and the Customer as “Debtor”, in the real estate recording jurisdiction in which the Site is located, and upon making such filing Seller shall notify Buyer of the same; provided  Seller shall not make any such filing without receipt of express written authorization from the ESA Customer, as “Debtor”, to make such filing; provided, further, if, despite commercially reasonable efforts, if the ESA Customer will not provide such consent, each of Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to find a solution that is mutually agreeable to both parties thereto to protect Buyer’s interest in the applicable Facility and ensure any such filing, if done, is permitted as a matter of law without consent of the ESA Customer.
xlvii.Following Commencement of Operations of a Facility, Seller shall promptly remove all waste materials and rubbish from and around the Site as well as all of its tools, construction equipment, machinery, and surplus materials as reasonably necessary to restore each Site to a condition reasonably satisfactory to such ESA Customer or as otherwise required by the applicable Site License or ESA.

xlviii.Seller’s supply of the Bloom Systems, Ancillary Equipment (if applicable) and BOF hereunder, and performance of the Installation Services therefor, shall be fully comprehensive of all services, labor, and equipment necessary to complete installation of a fully commissioned and operating Facility in accordance with this Agreement, the applicable ESA, the applicable Interconnection Agreement, and the applicable Site License.
(ii)Seller shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for obtaining, maintaining and complying with all Permits required to perform the Installation Services under this Agreement, including related performance assurance or other credit support requirements. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Buyer agrees to cooperate with and assist Seller in obtaining such Permits, at Seller’s cost and expense.
(iii)Seller shall cause all Installation Services to be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, free from defective materials, and in accordance with the Performance Standards, free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens.
Seller shall promptly pay all subcontractors under this Agreement (including, for clarification, subcontractors working off-Site) and shall, at the time of each payment made to any such subcontractor, obtain a conditional or final lien waiver (in each case, substantially in the statutorily prescribed form required by the applicable state Governmental Authority in which the Site is located (and, if there is no such prescribed form, then in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer)), and promptly provide Buyer with a copy of such lien waiver; provided, that the foregoing requirements in this Section 3.4(4) to provide Buyer with copies of lien waivers shall only apply to subcontractors that have agreed to provide or perform equipment or services in respect of the applicable Facility for purchase price or fees in excess of $[***] in the aggregate. Seller shall discharge any Liens by such subcontractors within thirty (30) days of obtaining Knowledge thereof. Seller shall release all Liens in favor of Seller on each Facility upon final payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price for such Facility. Upon the failure of Seller to discharge a Lien required to be discharged under this Section 3.4(4), or else promptly to provide a bond in an amount and from a surety acceptable to Buyer to protect against such Lien, in each case, within thirty (30) days after Seller is aware of the existence thereof, Buyer may, but shall not be obligated to, pay, discharge or obtain a bond or security for such Lien and, upon such payment, discharge or posting of security therefor, shall be entitled immediately to recover from Seller (and Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer for) the amount thereof, together with all reasonable and necessary expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with such payment or discharge, or to set off all such amounts against any amounts owed by Buyer to Seller hereunder.
Section r.Insurance

(i)Seller shall maintain and comply with the insurance described in (and comply with the terms and conditions set forth in) Annex B until the end of the Warranty Period with respect to each Facility (including during performance of Installation Services and Facility Services, as applicable), and, to the extent any ESA or Site License contains additional or more stringent insurance requirements (including the addition of any named or additional insureds), Seller shall on Buyer’s behalf satisfy and maintain compliance with such requirements. Without limiting any of Buyer’s rights and remedies hereunder, to the extent Seller fails to procure or maintain an [***] insurance policy required hereunder, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the cost of such policy, as well as any reasonable expenses and fees of third parties incurred in connection therewith, if Buyer chooses (in its sole discretion) to procure or maintain such policy.
(ii)Promptly after the First Agreement Date, and each year, promptly after effecting the renewal of its insurance policies, Seller shall provide to Buyer copies of any certificates of insurance evidencing its compliance with Annex B.
Section s.Right of First Refusal
. In the event that Buyer or its Affiliates desires to sell or otherwise transfer title to any Facility or Facilities that is not in conjunction with the assignment or other transfer of the direct or indirect equity interests of Buyer, as permitted pursuant to Section 14.4 (if not in conjunction as so described, a “Facility Transfer”), to a transferee other than an ESA Customer or an Affiliate of Buyer, Buyer shall first promptly notify Seller of the proposed purchase price and any material economic terms and conditions (“Buyer’s Notice”). The Buyer’s Notice shall constitute the Buyer’s offer to sell the Facility or Facilities to Seller:
If such Facility Transfer is for a Facility or Facilities that in the aggregate are less than [***]% of the Portfolio (measured as the System Capacity of the Facility or Facilities to be transferred over the System Capacity of the Portfolio) (the “ROFR Threshold”), the Buyer’s notice shall be irrevocable and Seller shall have an exclusive right of first refusal to purchase such Facility or Facilities on the same terms and conditions of such sale outlined in the Buyer’s Notice for a period of 10 Business Days after receipt of such terms and conditions in the Buyer’s Notice; and
(i)if such Facility Transfer is for a Facility or Facilities that in the aggregate are equal to or greater than the ROFR Threshold, Seller will have the option to make an offer to purchase such Facility or Facilities before the end of the period of ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such terms and conditions in the Buyer’s Notice by delivering a written offer to Buyer on the terms specified in the Buyer’s Notice (“Seller’s Offer Notice”). Any Seller’s Offer Notice so delivered to Buyer shall be binding upon delivery and be irrevocable by Seller. Buyer agrees to bargain in good faith on any terms not stated in the Seller’s Offer Notice.
(ii)In the event that Seller elects to purchase such Facility or Facilities, Seller shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, remove such Facility or Facilities at Seller’s cost,
63


including the remediation of the Site in which the such Facility or Facilities were located in accordance with Section 4.10(2).
(iii)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. Buyer may not make a Facility Transfer to a direct Competitor of Seller without the express written consent of Seller.
(iv)Any Facility Transfer shall have no effect whatsoever on the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to the remaining Facilities not subject to such Facility Transfer.
(v)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 3.6 shall in no way restrict an assignment or other transfer of this Agreement or a Party’s rights, interests or obligations hereunder pursuant to the terms of Section 14.4, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that any restrictions applicable to such an assignment or transfer are set forth in Section 14.4.
(vi)Subject to clause (6) above, if Buyer effects a Facility Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.6, (A) Buyer may assign and delegate its rights and obligations under this Agreement solely with respect to those Facilities subject to such Facility Transfer to the applicable purchaser or (B) Buyer will facilitate and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement with such purchaser for the operation and maintenance of such Facilities with terms substantially similar to the operation and maintenance terms set forth herein, after which this Agreement shall no longer be deemed to be effective with respect to those Facilities subject to such Facility Transfer.
Section t.Third Party Warranties
. 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 a Facility (each a “Third Party Warranty”), including third party Software, would provide any additional rights to Buyer beyond the warranties under ARTICLE V, then (a) such Third Party Warranty providing additional



rights will be for the benefit of and passed through to Buyer to the fullest extent possible, (b) Seller hereby transfers and assigns (and shall transfer and assign in the future, to the extent not hereby transferred and assigned) to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest under such Third Party Warranty to exercise such additional rights (and shall execute and deliver any documents as and when required to effect the foregoing transfers and assignments), and (c) 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. Nothing in this Section 3.7 will limit Seller’s obligations to Buyer under ARTICLE V or Section 3.3.
Section u.Access; Cooperation
. Seller shall provide to Buyer such other information that is in the possession of Seller or its Affiliates or is reasonably available to Seller regarding the permitting, engineering, construction, or operations of Seller, its subcontractors or the Facilities, and other data concerning Seller, its subcontractors or the Facilities that Buyer may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing, subject to Seller’s obligations of confidentiality to third parties with respect to such information.

FACILITY SERVICES AND OTHER WORK
Section w.In General
.
(i)During the Warranty Period, in consideration of the Service Fees, Seller shall service each Facility constituting a portion of the Portfolio so that the Portfolio performs in accordance with the Warranty Specifications and so that the BOF and Ancillary Equipment will not cause the Portfolio to fail to perform in accordance with the Warranty Specifications, as more fully set forth in ARTICLE V, and in all cases subject to the Performance Standards. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller agrees to perform on behalf of Buyer all operations and maintenance obligations in respect of each Facility under the applicable ESA and Site License in a manner fully consistent with the terms and conditions of such documents. The services set forth in this Section 4.1, as more fully described in this ARTICLE IV, are collectively referred to herein as the “Facility Services.” For clarity, Seller shall have no authority or responsibility under this Agreement with respect to the payment or receipt of monies to or from ESA Customers or with respect to serving or receiving formal notices to or from ESA Customers; provided, however, subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 6.2, that Seller may informally communicate with ESA Customers regarding routine, day-to-day Facility Services matters. For so long as Seller is performing Facility Services in respect of a Facility, the Parties intend that Seller shall be responsible for all operational activities in respect of such Facility, including the performance of all obligations to ESA Customers that are required to be performed physically at any Site under the applicable Facility Contracts. If a Party has any uncertainty regarding which Party is responsible for particular obligations to ESA Customers, 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.
(ii)Until the expiration of the Extended Warranty Term, upon the expiration of the Warranty Period with respect to any Facility Buyer may, at its option, elect to renew the Warranty Period with respect to such Facility for a period of one (1) additional year. The Warranty Period for each Facility shall be automatically renewed for a period of one (1) additional year at the termination of the existing Warranty Period if Buyer has not informed Seller 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the foregoing, in the event that the “Term” of the Equinix ESA with respect to any Facility(ies) is extended pursuant to Section 4.7(c) thereof, then, upon the expiration of the then-applicable term of such Equinix ESA absent such extension, Buyer may elect to extend the Warranty Period for such Facility(ies) for a period equal to such extended “Term” instead of electing a one-year renewal.
(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the foregoing, in the event that the “Term” of an ESA with respect to any Facility is extended pursuant to any provision in such ESA (or any related agreement between Buyer and the applicable ESA Customer) providing for



a day-for-day extension thereof during a period in which the Facility is not generating electricity, then, (i) Buyer’s obligation to pay Services Fees with respect to the applicable Facility shall be automatically suspended during the pendency of the Facility outage, (ii) the year of the Warranty Period in which the “Initial Term” (as extended) of the applicable ESA would otherwise have expired shall be automatically extended on a day-for-day basis equal to the extension of the applicable ESA so that the Warranty Period is coterminous with the “Initial Term” of applicable ESA, as extended, and (iii) during such idle period Seller will be obligated to perform only such maintenance services for the Facility as are designed to facilitate a safe and reliable restart of the Facility following such idle period.
(iv)If requested by Buyer, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist with and facilitate (i) the exercise by any ESA Customer of its rights to renew, or (ii) other renewal, in each case of the initial term or any renewal term of such ESA Customer’s ESA. Such assistance and facilitation shall include the execution and delivery of reasonable documents and other instruments requested by Buyer.
Section x.Operation and Maintenance Services

During the Warranty Period, the specific responsibilities of Seller under this Agreement shall include the following:
(i)Facility Operations. Seller shall ensure that all Facility components 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.
(ii)Facility Maintenance. Seller shall perform, or cause to be performed, all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance required on the Facilities in order to perform in accordance with the Warranty Specifications and Performance Standards. In that regard, Seller’s responsibilities hereunder shall include promptly correcting any malfunctions in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller agrees to respond in a timely manner to any Facility outage or other casualty that materially reduces power output or efficiency, or materially impairs the capability of any Facility to comply with the terms and provisions of the applicable ESA or the Performance Standards, by (A) promptly diagnosing the source of such issue and, (B) if on-Site Facility Services are required, using its best efforts to (1) dispatch field service personnel to the Site within one Business Day after Seller obtains 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 repair services at the applicable Facility no later than the next Business Day. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Seller shall in any event comply with any and all response time(s) and/or corrective activity(ies) required by the applicable ESA(s).
67


(iii)Repair and Replacement of Power Modules; ITC Recapture Covenant. Buyer agrees that Seller may replace the Power Modules included in each Facility with Power Modules of a different model, provided that Seller certifies to Buyer that such replacement model has been subjected to inspections and tests performed by Seller which indicate that such replacement Power Modules model is reasonably expected to perform at least as well as the model it replaces. Seller hereby covenants to Buyer that (i) any repair or replacement of Power Modules made within five (5) years of the date the applicable Bloom System was Placed in Service will have an aggregate cost of replaced parts (taking into account the cost of any other replaced parts pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) 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), and (ii) Seller shall keep appropriate records and other documentation until the twelve-year anniversary of the date upon which the applicable Bloom System was Placed in Service that (A) specifically identify the Power Module relocated or removed, (B) evidence that such item is different than that used upon Placed in Service, (C) are sufficient to provide evidence to Buyer and other Persons, as necessary, of the cost of such replaced parts and (D) are sufficient to provide evidence to Buyer and other Persons, as necessary, whether any removed or relocated Power Modules or refurbished parts contain any equipment other than the specifically identified components relocated or removed; provided, Seller shall have no obligation to disclose such records or documentation unless required under Section 6.1(1)(ii) or Section 10.3(5) in connection with a Tax Proceedings.
(iv)Personnel. Seller shall ensure that all operations and maintenance functions contemplated by this Section 4.2 are performed by technically competent and qualified personnel (the “Service Technicians”).

(v)Spare Parts. Seller 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.
(vi)Programs and Procedures. Prior to the date of the Commencement of Operations of the first Facility, Seller and Buyer shall have adopted and implemented programs and procedures, consistent with the Performance Standards, intended to ensure safe and reliable operation of the Facilities. Seller may update such programs and procedures from time-to-time during the Term that it believes to be appropriate, in its reasonable judgment and in accordance with the Performance Standards, such updates subject to Buyer’s approval. Buyer may, not more than once per calendar year and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, review such programs and procedures from time to time to confirm compliance with the Performance Standards. Buyer may from time to time provide comments on any such Seller programs and procedures and Seller agrees to consider any such comments in good faith; provided, that Buyer’s review and comment on any such program or procedure will not relieve Seller of any of its obligations under this Agreement.



(vii)Operations and Maintenance Procedures. Without in any way limiting Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 4.2, Seller shall perform all operations and maintenance work in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 4.2.
(viii)Maximum Export Covenants and Net Metering. Seller shall cause each Facility to be operated such that the export off Site of any amount of output from any Facility does not cause the breach or violation of any obligation or duty in the applicable ESA in respect of net metering quantities or other output export limitations.
(ix)Kaiser Self Performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall have no liability hereunder or under any Transaction Document arising from any performance by Kaiser pursuant to a Kaiser ESA.
(x)Plans Regarding Certain [***] Charges. To the extent Buyer, in its capacity as “Supplier” pursuant to [***], has any performance obligations pursuant to Section 3.4(c) of the [***] (including any obligations to coordinate maintenance schedules, develop or implement plans, modify physical plant or modify operations or maintenance), (a) Seller shall perform such obligations for no additional consideration hereunder in accordance with (i) the requirements set forth herein and (ii) the Performance Standards and (b) Buyer shall have no obligations hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, upon receipt of notice from the applicable ESA Customer pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(ii) of [***], Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and such ESA Customer in furtherance of the obligations of Supplier thereunder.
Section y.Service Fees
.
(i)Buyer shall compensate Seller for the Facility Services, on a calendar month basis, by paying Seller the “Service Fees” equal, for each Facility, to (i) (A) the rate (in $/kW) specified in Schedule 4.3(1) hereto for such Facility for the applicable calendar month since the applicable Facility achieved Commencement of Operations, multiplied by (B) the aggregate System Capacity (in kW) of the Bloom Systems comprising the applicable Facility, for the applicable calendar month, plus (ii) any additional Services Fees for such Facility set forth on Schedule 4.3(1) hereto based on the presence of Ancillary Equipment. If Facility Services are provided by Seller for a particular Facility for only a portion of any calendar month, the Service Fees due with respect to such partial calendar month shall be pro-rated based on the number of days such Facility Services were provided in respect of such Facility during the calendar month.
(ii)Commencing on the date each Facility achieves Commencement of Operations, with respect to each calendar month of such Facility’s Warranty Period, the Service Fees shall be invoiced not more often than once per calendar month on a separate invoice (and not pursuant to a Payment Notice) not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the first day of such calendar month, and, subject to Section 3.4(1)(xii)(B) and Section 5.4, shall be payable no later than the thirty (30) calendar days following such proper delivery of such invoice; provided, that the pro rata Services Fees for the calendar month in which a Facility achieves Commencement of
69


Operations shall be invoiced and paid with the Services 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. Seller shall be under no obligation to provide or perform services hereunder for any Facility whose Service Fee, other than a Service Fee disputed in good faith, has not been paid in full (or offset pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.12, Section 3.4(1)(xii)(B), Section 4.3(6), Section 5.7 or Section 5.8) within thirty (30) days of invoice until such date upon which the Service Fee has been paid.
(iii)If Buyer disputes any amount shown in an invoice issued by Seller in accordance with Section 4.3(2): (i) Buyer must pay the undisputed portion of the invoice amount within the time prescribed by Section 4.3(2), and (ii) liability for the disputed portion of that invoice will be determined in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set out in Section 14.5.
(iv)Any disputed portion of an invoiced amount which was not paid under Section 4.3(3) and is determined as being due to Seller in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set out in Section 14.5 must be paid by Buyer within ten (10) days of the determination of the dispute in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 14.5 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 4.3(2).
(v)Buyer shall, promptly following receipt of an invoice and reasonable supporting documentation thereof, reimburse to Seller the amount of any cash deposit Credit Support provided by Seller and described on Schedule 1.
(vi)Each Party shall have the sole and absolute right to set off any undisputed amounts to which it is entitled under this Agreement (each, a “Set-Off Amount”). If a right to set off so arises, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, may invoice the other Party for such Set-Off Amount. If such Set-Off Amount is not paid within 30 days of receipt of such invoice, then the Party due such Set-Off Amount shall have the sole and absolute right to set off any undisputed amounts to which it is entitled under this Agreement against any amounts owed by such Party under this Agreement; provided, however, the Party setting off such amounts must deliver written notice to the other Party no later than three (3) Business Days from date the Set-Off Amount is actually set off, which notice identifies (i) the amount so invoiced pursuant to this Section 4.3(6),(ii) the Set-Off Amount, and (iii) the provision to which the Set-Off Amount relates. 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the foregoing obligations shall not apply to the tax treatment or tax structure of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transaction”) and each Party (and any employee, representative, or agent of any Party) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all other materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any Party to the extent relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. This Section 10.1 is intended to prevent the Transaction from being treated as a “reportable transaction” as a result of it being a transaction offered to a taxpayer under conditions of confidentiality within the meaning of Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the Code (or any successor provision) and the regulations thereunder (as clarified by Notice 2004-80 and Notice 2005-22) and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose.

Buyer’s Confidential Information will not be reproduced by Seller without Buyer’s prior written consent, and following termination of this Agreement all copies of such written information will be returned to Buyer upon written request or shall be certified by Seller as having been destroyed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party and its Representatives may each retain archival copies of any Confidential Information to the extent required by law, regulation or professional standards or copies of Confidential Information created pursuant to the automatic backing-up of electronic files where the delivery or destruction of such files would cause undue hardship to the receiving Party, so long as any such archival or electronic file back-up copies are accessible only to legal or information technology personnel, provided that such Confidential Information will continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(iii)Subject to the Long-Term Agreement and Sections 10.2(1) and (2) and Article XI, the Facilities are offered for sale and are sold by Seller subject to the condition that such sale does not convey any license, expressly or by implication, under any Seller Intellectual Property, to manufacture, reverse engineer, duplicate or otherwise copy or reproduce any part of the Facilities, documentation or Software without Seller’s express advance written permission.

The Party seeking such disclosure shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of the Agreement from the Securities Exchange Commission (or equivalent foreign agency) as represented by the redacted version reviewed by the other Party. Each Party shall bear its own costs in connection with such efforts. If Seller is the Party seeking such disclosure, then Seller shall bear responsibility for any liability or obligation that Buyer owes to any ESA Customer pursuant to its ESA in respect of filings and related disclosures contemplated by this Section 10.3(3).
(iv)Permitted Disclosures. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting a Party hereunder from using such Confidential Information in connection with (i) any claim against the other Party, (ii) any exercise by a Party hereunder of any of its rights hereunder, (iii) a financing or proposed financing by Seller or Buyer or their respective Affiliates, (iv) a disposition or proposed disposition by any direct or indirect Affiliate of Buyer of all or a portion of such Person’s equity interests in Buyer, (v) a disposition or proposed disposition by Buyer of any Bloom System or Facility, or (vi) any disclosure required to be made to an ESA Customer (or

Seller (or its legal and accounting advisors) may fully participate, at its sole expense, in the Tax Proceeding.

. 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 bm.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 bn.Force Majeure
.
(i)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 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.
(ii)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.
(iii)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 bo.Termination of ESAs Following Placed in Service Date; ESA Customer Purchase Options.
(i)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
113


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 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).
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). Solely with respect to the termination of a [***] ESA pursuant to Section 12.7(1) (regardless whether there is a Seller Default), Seller shall pay for any remaining payments of unpaid “Rent” (as such term is defined in the [***] ESA) in accordance with Section 6.1(f) and Schedule 3.4 of the [***] ESA that accrue in respect of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement, any payment by the ESA Customer under either of the [***] or the [***] of any termination value or reimbursement of costs under such ESA, under any circumstances, shall be subject in all respects to, as applicable, (x) the last sentence of Section 11.2(b)(i) of the [***].
(ii)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.



(iii)In the event [***] is terminated by the applicable ESA Customer due to a “Supplier Default” (as defined in [***]) under Section 11.1(a)(iii) of [***], Seller shall, at Buyer’s option, repurchase and remove the relevant Facilities in accordance with Section 4.10(1) and (2). Without limiting the foregoing sentence, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer if Seller acquires Knowledge of any reduction in or failure to deliver output that, taken by itself or together with other such reductions or failures, is reasonably likely to result in such a “Supplier Default” (as defined in [***]), and after so notifying Buyer, Seller shall, if requested by Buyer (and without limiting Seller’s obligations hereunder), cooperate with Buyer to develop and implement plans to mitigate the risk of such a “Supplier Default”.
Section bp.Termination of ESAs Prior to Placed in Service Date
.
(i)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, Section 2.11, Section 3.4(1)(xii)(B), Section 12.8(2), Section 12.8(3), Section 12.8(4) and Section 12.8(5)), (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.
(ii)If a [***] ESA is terminated under this Section 12.8 pursuant to Sections 2.3(c) or (d) of such [***] ESA and [***] elects to take title to any materials (or other assets, properties or rights) in accordance with such sections under the [***] ESA, all payments made by [***] as “Host” pursuant to such Sections 2.3(c) or (d) of such [***] ESA will be remitted to Seller when received by Buyer and Seller shall convey the applicable title (or other assets, properties or rights) in accordance with the terms therein; provided, that the foregoing receipts shall be remitted to Seller only to the extent in excess of (i) any payments made by Buyer under or in connection with the Facility described in such [***] ESA and (ii) any amounts then due and owing to Buyer by Seller in respect of the Facility or Facilities described in such [***] ESA.
(iii)If [***] is terminated under this Section 12.8 and Buyer, as “Supplier” thereunder, owes the ESA Customer [***] of the deposit made in connection with the Connecticut Low and Zero Emissions Energy Credit Program under Section 5.2(a)(i) of the [***], then Seller will make such payment on Buyer’s behalf.
(iv)If an ESA is terminated under this Section 12.8, and a cash deposit Credit Support required in connection with a System Attribute has been posted by Buyer, or reimbursed to Seller
115


pursuant to Section 4.3(5), then, in either case, (i) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a return of such cash deposit Credit Support from the Person holding it and (ii) Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the amount of such cash deposit Credit Support. Seller’s obligation to reimburse Buyer will not be delayed or limited by (A) Buyer having not received such cash deposit Credit Support from the Person holding it or (B) the degree of Buyer’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the return of such cash deposit Credit Support from the Person holding it. If Buyer receives such cash deposit Credit Support from such Person after Seller has reimbursed Buyer pursuant to this Section 12.8(4), Buyer shall remit such receipts to Seller to the extent of Seller’s reimbursements made under this Section 12.8(4).
(v)If a Preexisting Seller Agreement provides an ESA Customer (or its Affiliate or predecessor) with any rights or interests, the exercise of which results in installation of the related Facility under the applicable ESA being suspended or canceled, and such ESA Customer (or Affiliate or predecessor) exercises such rights or interests, and thereafter the applicable ESA is terminated under this Section 12.8, Seller shall remove any relevant Facilities or portions thereof in accordance with Section 4.10(1); provided, that if such ESA Customer (or Affiliate or predecessor) exercises such rights or interests and such suspension or cancelation is reasonably likely, then Buyer may terminate such ESA and Seller shall remove any relevant Facilities or portions thereof in accordance with Section 4.10(1).
Section bq.Change in Law
.
(i)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 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.
(ii)Notwithstanding Section 12.9(a) above, if [***] terminates any [***] ESA in accordance with Section 5.1(b), Section 8.2 or Section 19.15 therein, Seller will pay to Buyer an amount equal to the “Early Termination Fee” (as defined in the applicable [***] ESA) and remove, at Seller’s cost and expense, any and all “Systems” and “System” infrastructure in accordance with Section 2.6 of the [***] ESAs. Seller will not take any action described in Sections 5.1(b), 8.2 or 19.15 of any [***] ESA that would cause [***] to be deemed an electric utility, public utility or similar entity under Legal Requirements.
ARTICLE XIII.
INDEMNIFICATION
Section br.IP Indemnity
.
(i)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 any ESA Customer of any of its rights and interests with respect to Customer Equipment, if applicable, 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 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
117


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 First 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.
(ii)THIS INDEMNITY SHALL NOT COVER ANY CLAIM:
cxviii.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 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



cxix.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 bt.General Indemnification of Buyer by Seller.
(i)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

(ii)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 bu.Tax Indemnification of Buyer by Seller.
(i)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.
Section bv.Indemnity Claims Procedure.
(i)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.
121


(ii)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.
(iii)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.
(iv)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.
Section bw.Limitation of Liability.
(i)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)(i) a Third Party Claim, (ii) an Indemnifiable Loss asserted by [***] as a third-party beneficiary pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) pursuant to Section 12.7(2), any remaining payments of unpaid “Rent” (as such term is defined in the [***] ESA) in accordance with Section 6.1(f) and Schedule 3.4 of the [***] ESA, (C) any Indemnifiable Loss for which an Indemnified Party received insurance proceeds under Section 13.9, (D) Customer 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.



(ii)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), Section 2.11, 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 Customer 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.
(iii)Subject to Section 3.2(3)(i), 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 bx.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 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 by.Duplication of Recovery
123


. 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 bz. 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 ca.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 cb.Amendment and Modification
. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by written agreement of Buyer and Seller.
Section cc.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 cd.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 by electronic mail, or (C) delivered, if mailed by overnight delivery via a nationally recognized

Section ce.Assignment
.
(i)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, nor the equity interests that own the Buyer, directly and indirectly, shall be assigned, transferred or conveyed by any Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party (to be granted in the other Party’s sole discretion); provided, however that:
cxx.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 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;
cxxi.Buyer may make such an assignment without Seller’s consent to an ESA Customer in connection with its exercise of a purchase option pursuant to an ESA;
cxxii.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;
cxxiii.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
cxxiv.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.
(ii)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.
(iii)In the event of an assignment or transaction prohibited by Section 14.4(1), the assigning Party shall notify the other Party of the identity of the proposed assignee or successor in writing. Such other Party shall have the right to consent to such assignment or transaction. Such other
127


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.
(iv)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.
(v)From time to time, either Party may, in its reasonable judgement, request an amendment to Schedule 14.4(a) or Schedule 14.4(b) to reflect that any Person thereon has become a “Competitor of Seller” or has ceased to be a “Competitor of Seller”. If the other Party, in its reasonable discretion and upon receipt of sufficient evidence thereof, consents, the Parties will effect such amendment promptly.

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 4.10(2), Section 5.6, Section 5.7(6), Section 12.3 and Section 12.4 and ARTICLE XIII, either Party may pursue whatever rights it has available under this Agreement, at law or in equity in accordance with Section 14.6 herein.
(ii)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 14.3 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 cg.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).

Section ci.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 cj.Entire Agreement; Ratification
.
(i)The Transaction Documents 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, any Transaction Document 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 preceding sentence, might otherwise be available to it in respect of any such representation, warranty, collateral contract or other assurance. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement supersedes, amends and restates the Original PUMA in its entirety and, upon and after the Agreement Date, the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated in the Original PUMA shall be governed by this Agreement rather than the Original PUMA (and any references to the Original PUMA in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Original PUMA, as amended and restated hereby); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.9 or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither of the Parties waives (and this Agreement will not discharge or constitute a novation of) any claims, rights, remedies or
129


defenses (i) existing or in respect of events occurring (in each case, whether or not known) prior to the Agreement Date arising under or in connection with the Original PUMA or the Transaction Documents (as such term is defined in the Original PUMA) or (ii) arising under or in connection with any of Sections 5(e) or 5(f) of the First Amendment to Purchase, Use and Maintenance Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2019, between Seller and Buyer, or any of Sections 5(b), 6(q) or 6(t) of the Third Amendment to Purchase, Use and Maintenance Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2020, between Seller and Buyer (and such sections of such amendments are hereby acknowledged, ratified and confirmed in all respects).
(ii)Except as expressly amended hereby or otherwise provided herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents remain in full force and effect, and none of such terms and conditions are, or shall be construed as, otherwise amended or modified (except for the Original PUMA, which shall be subject to Section 14.9(1)).
Section ck.Construction of Agreement
. The terms and provisions of this Agreement represent the results of negotiations between Buyer and Seller, 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 Buyer and Seller 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 cl.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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including Seller’s obligation to perform on behalf of Buyer certain of Buyer’s obligations under ESAs and Site Licenses, neither Seller nor any of its employees, agents, subcontractors or representatives shall be considered an employee, agent, subcontractor or representative of, nor under the control of, Buyer under this Agreement. Seller 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 Seller shall be responsible to Buyer for the acts and omissions of each such employee, agent, subcontractor and representative.
Section co.Service Providers
.
(i)Subject to the other requirements in this Agreement concerning Seller’s subcontractors, agents and other representatives, Seller may contract with one or more unrelated third parties, who are reputable, appropriately qualified (including having an established record of successful performance in their trades), licensed, and financially responsible, to perform Installation Services and/or Facility Services throughout the Term (each, a “Service Provider”); provided, that (i) Seller shall be responsible for each Service Provider’s performance of any Installation Service and/or Facility Service as if it had been performed by Seller, (ii) contracting with a Service Provider shall not relieve Seller of any liability, obligation, or responsibility pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) to the extent that any ESA Customer has rights or privileges pursuant to its applicable ESA to be notified of, review or consent (or withhold its consent) to the retention of any Service Provider, such Service Provider shall not be contracted with, retained or otherwise perform any Installation Services or Facility Services hereunder unless in accordance with such ESA Customer’s rights, to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction.

The required insurance must be written as a primary policy not contributing to or in excess of any policies carried by Buyer, and each must contain a waiver of subrogation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, in favor of Buyer, the Investor and any of its other investors and/or financing partners.
3.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 tax equity investor indirectly owning tax equity membership interests in Buyer and any of Buyer’s other investors and/or financing partners;

(d)include a provision that such insurance is primary insurance with respect to the interests of Buyer and Seller and that any other insurance maintained by Buyer, the Investor or any of its other investors and/or financing partners is excess and not contributory insurance with the insurances required under this Agreement.
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 [***]
(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.

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
