It understands that no assurances or representations can be given that the actual results of the operations of the Company will conform to the projected results for any period. AGM has relied solely on its own legal, tax and financial advisers for its evaluation of an investment in the Class C Membership Interests and not on the advice of Bloom, Southern, the Company, their Affiliates or any of their respective legal, tax or financial advisers.

(g) Acknowledgement. Except with respect to the representations and warranties expressly made by Bloom, Southern, the Company or any of their Affiliates in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the Project Documents and the IP License, AGM acknowledges that none of Bloom, Southern, the Company or their Affiliates has made any representations or warranties, either express or implied, under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise, nor has AGM relied on any representation or warranty not expressly made in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or Project Documents.

ARTICLE 7
INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification

(a) In the event that the Class C Indemnified Parties have incurred Indemnified Costs or Losses or any other amounts are payable by Bloom or DSGH to any Class C Indemnified Parties under this Section 7.1, and Bloom or DSGH has failed to pay such amounts when due, the Class C Indemnified Parties may elect to draw on the Letter of Credit maintained pursuant to Section 2.2(d) and the LLC Agreement by delivering to the Managing Member a Class C Draw Request to satisfy such unpaid amounts; provided, no Class C Draw Request may exceed the Class C LC Cap.

(b) General Indemnification. Each Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Parties; provided, however, except with respect to Indemnified Costs resulting from (i) fraud or willful misconduct, (ii) a Third Party Claim, or (iii) solely with respect to Bloom as the Indemnifying Party and the Class C Indemnified Parties as the Indemnified Parties, the matters described on Schedule 3.1(k), in no event will such Indemnifying Party’s aggregate obligation (including any prior indemnity payments by such Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or under the LLC Agreement) to indemnify the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties under this Section 7.1 exceed the total Capital Contributions made by such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, as of the date such indemnification obligations arises.

(c) Tariff Indemnity. Upon the occurrence of a Tariff Event, Bloom and DSGH agree to pay AGM or the applicable Class C Indemnified Parties the amount of any Tariff Damages. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Southern nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability to AGM for any Tariff Damages.

“Tariff Damages” means the amount necessary, if treated as a pre-tax cash distribution to AGM by the Company, for AGM to achieve an Internal Rate of Return (as set forth in the Base Case Model) equal to six percent (6%) based on an updated Base Case Model updated solely to reflect (a) if the Tariff Event results in a reduction in the “Disbursement Rates” (as defined in the QFCP-RP Tariff or the corresponding figure in the Base Case Model) applicable to the Systems pursuant to the QFCP-RP Tariff, such reduced “Disbursement Rates”, or (b) if any of the Systems are thereafter ineligible for service under the QFCP-RP Tariff, a “Disbursement Rate” equal to $0.00; provided, however, in no event shall “Tariff Damages” as of any date exceed the amounts

DM_US 164459497-11.107145.0012

set forth below, based on the date of the initial reduction in revenues to the Company (the “Tariff Damages Cap”):



Date	Amount

On or before [*]	[*]
On or before [*]	[*]
On or before [*]	[*]
On or before [*]	[*]
On or before [*]	[*]
On or before [*]	[*]
On or before [*]	$0

If the initial reduction in revenue falls in between two of the dates above, the amount of Tariff Damages will be an amount in between the two corresponding amounts, pro rata based on the number of days from the first of the two applicable dates above to the date of the initial reduction in revenue.

Bloom, DSGH and AGM acknowledge and agree that it would be impracticable or impossible to determine with precision the amount of damages resulting from a Tariff Event. It is therefore understood and agreed that: (a) the Class C Indemnified Parties may be damaged by a Tariff Event; (b) it would be impractical or impossible to fix the actual damages resulting therefrom; and (c) the amounts of the Tariff Damages are in the nature of liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and are fair and reasonable estimate of compensation for the losses that may reasonably be anticipated to incur by such failure. Each of Bloom and DSGH hereby (i) waives any argument that its failure to comply with its obligations set forth in this section would not cause irreparable harm, (ii) agrees that it shall be estopped from arguing the invalidity, or otherwise questioning the reasonableness, of the liquidated damages provided for herein, and (iii) agrees that it will consent to the entry of judgment ordering payment of such liquidated damages in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The foregoing indemnity is provided in place of and in lieu of all representations, warranties, covenants or other indemnities regarding the Tariffs by Bloom under the Transaction Documents. Further, Bloom shall not have any liability to AGM related to any Tariff Event except as expressly set forth in this Section 7.1(c) unless such Tariff Event results from any breach of an expressly-stated representation, warranty or covenant of Bloom or the Class A Member pursuant to any Transaction Document, and any recovery pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) shall be included in the consideration of the applicable Class C Indemnified Party(ies)’s damages resulting from any such breach.

(d) Tax Indemnity. [*].

DM_US 164459497-11.107145.0012

“Assumed Tax Benefits” means the periodic assumed federal income tax reductions resulting from items of loss, deduction and credits, to be allocated to the Class C Indemnified Parties under the LLC Agreement, as reflected in the Base Case Model, calculated using the highest marginal rate in effect each year under Code Section 11(b)(1) and determined for all periods without regard to whether the Class C Indemnified Parties have any income, gains, or tax liability against which it is permitted to offset such loss, deduction or credit.

AGM agrees in connection with the process of determining the tax basis of the Phase 2 New Systems as follows: (i) it will provide Bloom notice of any objections or adverse feedback from the Internal Revenue Service, (ii) it will provide Bloom with advance notice and opportunity to review and comment on any filings or communications between AGM and the Internal Revenue Service, (iii) it will include ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in discussions with the Internal Revenue Service (as allowed by Bloom), and (iv) it will reasonably consider Bloom feedback. AGM will have sole discretion as to all contents of its income tax returns.

(e) MOMA. Bloom agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Class C Indemnified Parties from and against and pay to the Class C Member any and all of the following (i) Losses equal to any amount with respect to which Operator fails to make payment when due under Sections 4.9 (Warranty and Guaranty Claims), 11.3 (Owner’s Remedies Upon Occurrence of an Operator Default), or 12.3 (Indemnification of Owner by Operator) of the MOMA during the Term (as such term is defined therein), in each case solely to the extent exclusively related to the Phase 2 New Systems and allocable to a period during which the Class C Member or any of its Affiliates owns Class C Membership Interests, and (ii) Losses of the Class C Indemnified Parties incurred in connection with enforcement of the foregoing sub-clause (i) if required. For clarity, without limiting Bloom’s obligations under the MOMA, Bloom is not obligated under this Section 7.1(e) to provide indemnification in respect of any Losses equal to any amount with respect to which Operator fails to make payment when due under Sections 11.3 (Owner’s Remedies Upon Occurrence of an Operator Default) or 12.3 (Indemnification of Owner by Operator) of the MOMA during the Term (as such term is defined therein) that relate to a Facility generally or that relate to both the Phase 1 New Systems and the Phase 2 New Systems, in each case, if such amount is not identifiable as exclusively related to the Phase 2 New Systems.

(f) Funding Date. Bloom agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless AGM from and against any and all Losses incurred by AGM as a result of the failure to Commission at least 6 MWs of Phase 2 New Systems by the Funding Termination Date. In the event that less than 6 MWs of Phase 2 New Systems have not completed Commissioning by the Funding Termination Date, the Losses suffered by AGM, and the amount payable by Bloom for any claim for indemnification under this Section 7.1(f) shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Initial Contribution plus (ii) [*] (without any requirement of AGM to prove actual Losses), which shall be payable as liquidated damages and, when paid, shall constitute full and complete satisfaction of all amounts due and payable to AGM as a result of such claim. Upon receipt by AGM of such liquidated damages (and solely to the extent that entire the Phase 2 New System has been Placed in Service), AGM shall transfer, assign and convey to Bloom, and Bloom shall (or shall cause such designee to) accept and assume, 100% of the Class C Membership Interests. In the event that Bloom commissions 6 MWs or more, but not all of the Phase 2 New Systems by the Funding

DM_US 164459497-11.107145.0012

Termination Date, the Class C Member may request a refund in accordance with Section 2.6(c) of the Phase 2 CapEx Agreement.

(g) Other than with respect to Indemnified Costs resulting from Third Party Claims, no claim for indemnification may be made with respect to any Indemnified Costs until the aggregate amount of such costs for which indemnification is (or previously has been) sought by the Indemnified Party under all Transaction Documents exceeds [*] and once such threshold amount of claim has been reached, the relevant Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall have the right to be indemnified for all such Indemnified Costs. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall not be duplicative of one another and shall not allow for duplicative recoveries.

7.2 Direct Claims

In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under Section 7.1 that is not subject to Section 7.3 because no Third Party Claim is involved, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any amounts that the Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms of this Article 7. The failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim, except to the extent the resulting delay materially and adversely prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.

7.3 Third Party Claims

An Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly after it has actual knowledge of commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under Section 7.1. Such notice shall state the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim and the events and the amounts thereof to the extent known. Any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party under this Article 7, except to the extent the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party, so long as it has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party that it is liable for such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 7.3, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such Third Party Claim or such Third Party Claim is a Third Party Penalty Claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or defending such portion of such Third Party Penalty Claim; provided nothing contained herein shall permit Southern to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving AGM or any Affiliate of AGM, or permit AGM to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving Southern or any Affiliate of Southern other than the Company; and, provided, further, the Parties agree that the handling of any Tax contests involving the Company will be

DM_US 164459497-11.107145.0012

governed by Section 7.7 of the LLC Agreement. In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party advises an Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will not contest a claim for indemnification hereunder, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such Indemnified Party of its election, to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any such Third Party Claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense) or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interests between it and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such Third Party Claim or the action or claim is a Third Party Penalty Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim or Third Party Claim in each case, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. In any event, unless and until the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent commercially reasonable with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense unless otherwise specified herein; provided that any such participation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense to the extent such participation relates to a Third Party Penalty Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised at all times as to the status of the defense; provided, however, that the failure to keep the Indemnifying Party so informed shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition any such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.3 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, (x) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof which involves any condition other than payment of money by the Indemnified Party, (y) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof without first demonstrating to the Indemnified Party the ability to pay such claim or judgment, or (z) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof that does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party, a full and complete release from all liability in respect of such claim.

7.4 No Duplication

Any liability for indemnification under this Article 7 shall be determined without duplication of recovery. Without limiting the generality of the prior sentence, if a statement of facts, condition or event constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is subject to the indemnification obligation in Section 7.1, any other Transaction Document or Project Document, only one recovery of Indemnified Costs or Losses per Indemnified Party shall be allowed.

DM_US 164459497-11.107145.0012

7.5 Sole Remedy

Except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or failure to pay, the enforcement of the claims of the Parties under this Article 7 are the sole and exclusive remedies that a Party shall have under this Agreement for the recovery of Indemnified Costs or Losses; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party hereby reserves all equitable remedies.

7.6 Survival

All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations made or undertaken by a Party in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document are material, have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive until the final date for any assertion of claims as forth in Section 7.7, if and as applicable, or as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents.

7.7 Final Date for Assertion of Indemnity Claims

All claims by an Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article 7 resulting from breaches of representations or warranties in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.4 and Section 3.5 shall be forever barred unless the other party is notified within eighteen (18) months after the applicable Subsequent Funding Date; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations in Section 3.1(g), and Section 3.1(k) shall survive until that date which is sixty (60) days after the applicable statute of limitations expires and the representations in Section 3.1(a), Section 3.1(b), Section 3.1(e) and Section 3.1(f) shall survive indefinitely; and provided further that if written notice of a claim for indemnification has been given by an Indemnified Party on or prior to the last day of the respective foregoing period, then the obligation of the other party to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 7 shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved.

7.8 Mitigation and Limitations on Indemnified CostsNotwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(a) Reasonable Steps to Mitigate. Each Indemnified Party will take, at the Indemnifying Party’s own reasonable cost and expense, all reasonable commercial steps identified by Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties to mitigate all Indemnified Costs (other than any such Indemnified Costs that are Taxes), which steps may include availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity. The Indemnified Parties will provide such evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of the Indemnified Costs as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Net of Insurance Benefits. All Indemnified Costs shall be net of insurance recoveries from insurance policies of the Company (including under the existing title policies) to the extent that any proceeds of such policies, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred by the Company in connection therewith, are distributed by the Company to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, such amount shall account for any costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified

DM_US 164459497-11.107145.0012

Party in connection with obtaining insurance proceeds with respect to any breach or nonperformance hereunder.

(c) No Consequential Damages. Indemnified Costs shall not include, and an Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party for or in respect of, any punitive, consequential or exemplary damages of any nature including but not limited to damages for lost profits or revenues or the loss or use of such profits or revenue, loss by reason of plant shutdown or inability to operate at rated capacity, increased operating expenses of plant or equipment, increased costs of purchasing or providing equipment, materials, labor, services, costs of replacement, power or capital, debt service fees or penalties, inventory or use charges, damages to reputation, damages for lost opportunities, or claims of the Company’s customers, members or affiliates, regardless of whether said claim is based upon contract, warranty, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or other theory of law unless payable by such Indemnified Party as part of a Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the lost profits or revenues (and the loss or use thereof) language set forth in this Section 7.8(c) shall not be interpreted to exclude from Indemnified Costs any damages, losses, claims, liabilities, demands charges, suits, Taxes, penalties, costs or expenses that would otherwise be included within the definition of Indemnified Costs because they result from a reduction in the profits of the Company or distributions to the Members or any losses arising as a result of the loss or recapture of any ITC.

7.9 Payment of Indemnification Claims

All claims for indemnification shall be paid by Indemnifying Party in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars. Any undisputed portion of an indemnification claim shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties involved. An Indemnifying Party may dispute any portion of an indemnification claim, provided, however, that such disputed indemnification claim shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party together with interest at a market rate upon the final determination of the payable amount of the claim (if any) by a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.10 Repayment; Subrogation

If the amount of any Indemnified Costs, at any time after the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under any insurance coverage (excluding any proceeds from self-insurance or flow through insurance policies) or under any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other entity, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, must promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party net of any Taxes imposed upon the Indemnified Party in respect of such amounts, but taking into account any Tax benefit the Indemnified Party receives as a result of such repayment. Upon making any indemnity payment (other than any indemnity payment relating to Taxes), the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party, except third parties that provide insurance coverage to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, in respect of the Indemnified Costs to which the indemnity payment relates. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect

DM_US 164459497-11.107145.0012

the above described subrogation rights, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims at the direction of the Indemnifying Party. Nothing in this Section 7.10 will be construed to require any Party to obtain or maintain any insurance coverage.

7.11 After-Tax Basis

To the extent applicable and not expressly provided for elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, all indemnity payments pursuant to this Article 7 shall be made on a grossed-up, after-tax basis, assuming for this purpose that all indemnity payments are taxable at the highest applicable marginal rate in effect each year under Code Section 11(b)(1).
