Neither the execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of the Transaction Documents to which Buyer is a party nor the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated thereby will (a) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the Certificate of Formation or the limited liability company agreement of Buyer, or (b) result in a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, material agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Buyer is a party or by which any of its assets are bound, except for such defaults (or rights of termination, cancellation or acceleration) as to which requisite waivers or consents have been obtained or (iii) constitute violations of any law, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to Buyer, which violations, individually or in the aggregate, would result in a material adverse effect on Buyer or its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

Section 5.4 Legal Proceedings. There are no pending or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened claims, disputes, governmental investigations, suits, actions (including non-judicial real or personal property foreclosure actions), arbitrations, legal, administrative or other proceedings of any nature, domestic or foreign, criminal or civil, at law or in equity, by or against or otherwise affecting Buyer which questions the Transaction Documents to which Buyer is a party or the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or such other Parties waive compliance with the non-disclosure provisions of this Section 6.3 with respect to the information required to be disclosed, the first Party shall furnish only that portion of such information that it is advised, by opinion of counsel, is legally required to be furnished and shall exercise reasonable efforts, at the expense of the Party whose Confidential Information is being disclosed, to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such

information, including, in the case of disclosures to the IRS described in clause (ii) above, to obtain reliable assurance that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, such information will not be made available for public inspection pursuant to Section 6110 of the Code.

(b) Disclosure to Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject always to the restrictions in Section 6.2, a Party may disclose Confidential Information received by it to its actual or potential financing parties and its and their employees, consultants, legal counsel or agents who have a need to know such information; provided that such Party informs each such Person who has access to the Confidential Information of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information, the terms of this Agreement, and that such terms apply to them. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each such Person complies with the terms of this Agreement and that any Confidential Information received by such Person is kept confidential.

(b) The Portfolio Warranty is not transferable to any third person, including any person who buys a Bloom System from Buyer, without Seller’s prior written consent (which shall not unreasonably be withheld) other than to Buyer’s Lender or its designee (or any assignee of (or purchaser in foreclosure from) Buyer’s Lender) upon transfer of the Portfolio and underlying agreements to such party due to a foreclosure proceeding on account of Buyer’s

Lender’s security interest herein and, if transferred to Buyer’s Lender or its designee (or any assignee of (or purchaser in foreclosure from) Buyer’s Lender), such party may freely transfer the Portfolio Warranty.

(d) The Portfolio Warranty shall survive any total or partial termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.2. BOF Warranty.

(a) BOF equipment, including but not limited to transformers, inverters, relays or meters, shall not be covered by the Portfolio Warranty, but instead shall be covered only by the warranty provided for such BOF equipment by its manufacturer (the “BOF Warranty”), which third party manufacturer warranties shall be assigned by Seller to Buyer; provided that if the warranty provided by the manufacturer of such ancillary equipment expires prior to the expiration of the Portfolio Warranty, Seller will provide all labor necessary to repair or replace the ancillary equipment provided by the third party manufacturer as required to meet the warranty specification of such manufacturer and will invoice for such labor services and for the actual cost of any replacement ancillary equipment. Seller covenants to pursue in good faith, and for the benefit of the Buyer, any warranty claim against any third party manufacturer of ancillary equipment relating to any Facility.

If such Power Performance Warranty calculation indicates that the Actual kWh of the Bloom Systems was less than the Minimum kWh during the applicable Power Performance Warranty Period, then Seller shall so notify Buyer in writing of the basis of its determination and Buyer may make a claim under Section 8.3. An example of a Power Performance Warranty calculation for purposes of a Section 8.3 claim is attached as Annex C.

Section 8.8. Efficiency Warranty. During the Warranty Period, Seller shall determine for each full calendar month (the “Efficiency Warranty Period”) within five (5) Business Days after the end of such month whether the Portfolio has performed at the Minimum Efficiency Level (the “Efficiency Warranty”); provided that the Efficiency Bank shall be utilized to the extent necessary to meet the Efficiency Warranty. If the Minimum Efficiency Level has not been met during such Efficiency Warranty Period, then Seller shall so notify Buyer in writing of the basis of its determination and Buyer may make a claim under Section 8.3. An example of an Efficiency Warranty calculation for purposes of a Section 8.3 claim is attached as Annex D.

Section 8.9. Gas Payment Shortfall. During the Warranty Period, Seller shall perform such services on the Bloom Systems as shall cause the_ Efficiency Bank to maintain a positive balance at all times.

An example of an Gas Payment Shortfall calculation for purposes of a Section 8.9 claim is attached as Annex E.

Section 8.10. No Duplication of Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that the Portfolio Warranty, the Section 8.2(b) Warranty, a Gas Payment Shortfall payment or any other warranty, guarantee or indemnification provision set forth herein is duplicative of any warranty, guarantee or indemnification coverage provided under the O&M Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall be entitled to make only a single claim under either this Agreement or the O&M Agreement, as applicable, and that limitations of liability set forth in each such agreement are to be calculated on an aggregate basis taking into account all claims for indemnification, warranty or otherwise (if any) made under this Agreement and the O&M Agreement.

substantially meets the original functional specifications of the Bloom System (in which event, for the avoidance of doubt, all warranties hereunder shall continue to apply unmodified); (iii) upon return of the Bloom System to Seller, as directed by Seller, provide to Buyer a non-infringing Bloom System meeting the functional specifications of the Bloom System, or (iv) when and if none of the first three options is reasonably available to Seller, authorize the return of the Bloom System to Seller and, upon receipt thereof, return to Buyer all monies paid by Buyer to Seller for the cost of the Bloom System itself, net of any monies paid by Seller to Buyer for any performance guaranties or other warranty claims; provided that Seller shall not elect the option in the preceding clause (i) without the Buyer’s written consent if such election is reasonably expected to materially decrease Buyer’s revenues or materially increase Buyer’s operating expenses.

(b) THIS INDEMNITY SHALL NOT COVER ANY CLAIM:

(i) for patent infringement based upon any combination made by Buyer of any Bloom System with any other product or products or modifications made by Buyer to any part of the Bloom System, unless such combination or modification is in accordance with Seller’s specifications for the Bloom System, or unless the combination or modification is made by or on behalf of or at the written request of Seller; or

(ii) for infringement of any proprietary rights arising in whole or in part from changes; combinations or modifications made to the Bloom System by Buyer or from any aspect of the Bloom System which was designed by or requested by Buyer on a custom basis.

Section 10.3. Indemnification of Buyer by Seller. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its members, managers, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents (each, a “Buyer Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses asserted against or suffered by any Buyer Indemnitee arising out of a claim by a third party (other than a claim for Buyer Indemnitee’s breach of contract) and in any way relating to, resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claims against a Buyer Indemnitee to the

extent arising out of or in connection with the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of Seller or its subcontractors, agents or employees or others under Seller’s control (other than matters addressed separately in Section 10.1, which shall be governed by the terms thereof); provided that, Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer for any negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of a Buyer Indemnitee, the breach by Buyer of its covenants and warranties under this Agreement or the inability to utilize any tax benefits (for the avoidance of doubt, the Grant is not considered a tax benefit).

Section 10.4. Indemnity Claims Procedure. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.1, if any indemnifiable claim is brought against a Party (the “Indemnified Party”), then the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall be entitled to participate in, and, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Indemnifying Party a conflict of interest between the Parties may exist with respect to such claim, assume the defense of such claim, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Indemnified Party, or if a conflict precludes the Indemnifying Party from assuming the defense, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party on a monthly basis for the Indemnified Party’s defense through separate counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choice. Even if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Party with acceptable counsel, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole option, may participate in the defense, at its own expense, with counsel of its own choice without relieving the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.5. Limitation of Liability.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall a Party be liable to the other Party for an amount in excess of the Maximum Liability unless and to the extent such liability is the result of (i) (A) fraud or willful misconduct of a Party, (B) a Third Party Claim or (C) a claim of Seller against Buyer for the Buyer’s failure to pay the Purchase Price for any Bloom System (which amount shall not be included in calculating Buyer’s Maximum Liability), (ii) a claim against Seller under Section 10.1, which shall be included in calculating Seller’s Maximum Liability, and for which Seller shall not have liability in excess of twice the Maximum Liability, calculated when taken together with all other liabilities that are subject to the Maximum Liability cap, (iii) a claim against Seller in the event of any breach, default or misrepresentation of any representation and warranty or covenant set forth in Section 4.2(d) or Section 4.3 or (iv) a claim against Seller under Section 8.9. Subject always to the Maximum Liability limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, except for damages specifically provided for in this Agreement or in connection with the indemnification for damages awarded to a third party under a Third Party Claim, damages hereunder are limited to direct damages, and in no event shall a Party be liable to the other Party, and the Parties hereby waive claims, for (x) indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages or loss of profits; provided, however, that the loss of profits language set forth in this Section 10.5(a) shall not be interpreted to exclude from Indemnifiable Losses any claim, demand, suit, loss, liability, damage, obligation, payment, cost or expense (including the cost and expense of any action, suit, proceeding, assessment, judgment, settlement or compromise relating thereto and reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable disbursements in connection therewith) that would otherwise be included in the definition of Indemnifiable Losses because they result from a reduction in the profits of Buyer, Diamond State Generation Holdings, LLC, or both, and (y) losses or liabilities incurred by the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, shareholders or Affiliates of such Party (unless on behalf of Buyer).

(b) Each Party hereby waives any claim under this ARTICLE X 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 10.6. No Duplication of Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that no claiming or indemnified party shall be entitled to a double recovery under the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE X and the indemnification provisions of the O&M Agreement, and the limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement and the O&M Agreement are to be calculated on an aggregate basis taking into account all claims (if any) made under this Agreement and the O&M Agreement.

Section 10.7. Survival. The Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this ARTICLE X shall survive any total or partial termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI.

Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall, without cost to Buyer, maintain in effect at all times the types of insurance required by the following provisions together with any other types of insurance required hereunder, with insurance companies rated A- X or better, by Best’s Insurance Guide and Key Ratings (or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized insurance rating agency of similar standing if Best’s Insurance Guide and Key Ratings shall no longer be published) or other insurance companies of recognized responsibility satisfactory to Buyer, the following insurance coverages in form and amount acceptable to Buyer:

Umbrella / Excess Liability. Umbrella or excess liability insurance of not less than Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) per occurrence and in the aggregate. Such coverage shall written on “occurrence” policy forms and provide excess cover over the insurance required above.

Such policy shall insure all real and personal property of Seller whether at a fixed (including non-owned location for off-Site repair or refurbishment), off-Site storage or a warehouse location or while in the course of inland or ocean transit (as the case may be), for an amount of not less than the greater of $10,000,000 or the full replacement cost value of such property and equipment at risk at each location, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer.

Sub-limits are permitted with respect to the following perils:

All such policies may have per occurrence deductibles of not greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) for all perils except five percent (5%) of TIV for Earthquake and Flood unless otherwise approved by Buyer.

Additional Insurance. To the extent that exposure changes and additional insurance (as to risks covered, policy amounts, policy provisions or otherwise) as are from time to time insured against for property and facilities similar in nature are available, such insurance as Buyer may reasonably require.

TERMS

Policies issued pursuant hereto shall contain the following or equivalent wording unless Seller demonstrates, and Buyer agrees, that such wording is not available on commercially reasonable terms (in which case alternative wording, if any, shall be subject to the agreement of Buyer).

No Coinsurance or Self-insurance/Replacement Cost. All property / marine type insurance shall be on a “no coinsurance or self-insurance/replacement cost” basis.

Additional Insured. All policies wherein Buyer has an insurable interest shall insure the interests of Buyer and all policies, other than Workers Compensation and Property, shall name (by endorsement if not so designated on the original policy wording) Buyer as additional insured, unless Buyer is named as an insured under the policy.

Waiver of Subrogation and Cancellation. To the extent not provided in the additional insured status, each policy shall waive subrogation against Buyer.
