ARTICLE 1

DEFINED TERMS

1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings given such terms in Annex I.

ARTICLE 2

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

2.1 Issuance of Class B Membership Interests. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, (a) on or before the Initial Funding Date, Clean Technologies will make a Capital Contribution to the Company (in cash or in kind) in an amount such that, together with the Capital Contribution made by Clean Technologies on December 30, 2011, the amount of capital contributed to the Company by Clean Technologies prior to the Initial Funding Date (excluding the value of the Project Company membership interests previously contributed by Clean Technologies to the Company) totals $16,619,399.60 (with such contributions in turn previously having been contributed or to be contributed on the Initial Funding Date by the Company to the Project Company), and (b) on the Initial Funding Date (i) Investor will make a Capital Contribution to the Company as provided in Section 2.2(a) and (ii) Clean Technologies will cause the Company to issue to Investor the Class B Membership Interests in the Company.

2.2 Contributions.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, Investor will make a Capital Contribution on the Initial Funding Date in the amount set forth in the Projected Contribution Schedule (an “Initial Funding Payment”). Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, Clean Technologies will make a Capital Contribution on the Initial Funding Date in the amount set forth in the Projected Contribution Schedule.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, on each Subsequent Funding Date, Investor will make a further Capital Contribution (a “Subsequent Funding Payment”) as follows:

(i) In connection with the portion of any Capital Contribution to be contributed on a Subsequent Funding Date to Company in order for Company to contribute such amounts to Project Company for use by Project Company to make 25% Progress Payments (“Deposit Contribution”), Investor will make a Deposit Contribution on such Subsequent Funding Date in an amount equal to the total required Deposit Contributions due from Class B Member on such Subsequent Funding Date, but not more than the lesser of (A) 100% of the amount of the Capital Contributions requested to be contributed to the Project Company in order for the Project Company to make 25% Progress Payments and (B) an amount which, together with prior Capital Contributions of Class B Member, would cause Class B Member to have made Capital Contributions which in the aggregate would equal the Class B Member CC Maximum Amount; provided that there exists a commitment on such Subsequent Funding Date of the Lenders, enforceable against such Lenders, to fund Loan Proceeds for a portion (consistent with the Base Case Model) of the 75% Progress Payments due with respect any such System for which Investor is making a Deposit Contribution; and

 

2


(ii) Subject to Section 2.2(f), in connection with the portion of any Capital Contribution to be contributed on a Subsequent Funding Date to Company in order for Company to contribute such amounts to Project Company for use by Project Company to make 75% Progress Payments (“Progress Contributions”), Investor will make a Capital Contribution on such Subsequent Funding Date in an amount equal to (x) [***]% of the required Progress Contribution less (y) the pro rata portion (based on 150 Systems) of the December Capital Contribution shown as credited to Clean Technologies for purposes of Progress Contributions in the Base Case Model.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any Subsequent Funding Payment being made by Investor, the Initial Funding Payment, any prior Subsequent Funding Payments and any prior CT Funding Amounts, as applicable, shall have been drawn upon in full by the Project Company in accordance with the Company LLC Agreement and not more than $20 million of such amounts in the aggregate remain unspent by the Project Company. Except for the Initial Funding Payment and the Capital Contribution of Clean Technologies on the Initial Funding Date, for the avoidance of doubt, the Projected Contribution Schedule is just a projection and the parties hereto intend that the Capital Contributions will only be made as needed in order for the Project Company to make payments under the MESPA, after taking into account the Loan Proceeds.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, Clean Technologies will make a Capital Contribution on each Subsequent Funding Date in an amount equal to the CT Funding Amount.

(d) On or prior to each Funding Date, Investor will transfer its respective Funding Payments and Clean Technologies will transfer its respective CT Funding Amount, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the following account (or to such other account as the Company may from time to time advise it in writing):

 

Holder Name:    [***]
Bank Name:    [***]
Account Number:    [***]
ABA Number:    [***]

(e) Clean Technologies will provide Investor with not less than five Business Days prior written notice as to the Initial Funding Date.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) the aggregate amount paid by Mehetia as the Initial Funding Payment and Subsequent Funding Payments shall not exceed the Class B Member CC maximum Amount and shall be in accordance with the manner of calculation set forth in the Base Case Model, and (ii) the aggregate amount contributed by Clean Technologies to the Company as Capital Contributions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Capital Contributions made by Clean Technologies prior to and on the Initial Funding Date, and each CT Funding Amount) shall not exceed its respective Equity Commitment Amount and shall be in accordance with the manner of calculation set forth in the Base Case Model.

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the Initial Funding occurs but any of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.7(v), (w), (x) and (y) have not been satisfied by the date on which Clean Technologies provides notice of the first Subsequent Funding Date following the Initial Funding Date, Investor may, at its option, provide Clean Technologies not less than 10 Business Days written notice (the “Refund Notice”) that it desires to receive a refund of the Initial Funding Payment made by Investor. Upon receipt of such notice Clean Technologies shall have 10 Business Days to pay or cause such amount to be paid to Investor (such date, the “Refund Payment Date”). Upon the giving of the Refund Notice to Clean Technologies, Investor shall have no further obligation to make any Funding Payment until all of the conditions in Section 2.5 and Section 2.7 are satisfied. If all of the conditions in Section 2.5 and Section 2.7 are subsequently satisfied, Clean Technologies may by not less than 10 Business days’ written notice to Investor again require Investor to make a Capital Contribution of the Initial Funding Payment and any Subsequent Funding Payments, as provided under this Agreement.

2.3 Initial Funding. Subject to the termination rights in Article 5, the closing of the Initial Funding Payment and the closing of the Capital Contribution on the Initial Funding Date by Clean Technologies of the CT Funding Amount (the “Initial Funding”) and the issuance of the Class B Membership Interests pursuant to Section 2.1 will take place (a) at the offices of Chadbourne & Parke LLP in New York City at 11:00 a.m. (eastern time) on the date on which all of the conditions in Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 have either been satisfied or waived in writing by the Party entitled to the benefit of such conditions, or (b) at such other place and time as Investor and Clean Technologies may agree in writing (such date as determined under clause (a) or (b), the “Initial Funding Date”), but in any event not later than the Initial Funding Termination Date. Each of the documents to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 shall be deemed to be delivered simultaneously, and no such document shall be of any force or effect until all such documents are delivered and the Initial Funding is consummated.

2.4 Subsequent Fundings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the making of Subsequent Funding Payments by Investor and the making of payments of CT Funding Amounts by Clean Technologies (each payment made by the respective Member referred to as a “Subsequent Funding”) will take place on (a) the dates upon which all conditions in Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 have either been satisfied or waived in writing by the party entitled to the benefit of such conditions or (b) at such other time as Investor and Clean Technologies may agree in writing (such date as determined under clause (a) or (b), each, a “Subsequent Funding Date”). The parties acknowledge that, other than as agreed to by the Parties, there will only be one Subsequent Funding Date per Member per calendar quarter, which will be no earlier than the last Business Day of the previous calendar quarter and no later than the fifth Business Day of the current calendar quarter. In no event will any Subsequent Funding Date occur later than the Subsequent Funding Termination Date. Each of the documents to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 will be deemed to be delivered simultaneously, and no such document will be of any force or effect until all such documents are delivered and the Subsequent Funding is consummated. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, on each Subsequent Funding Date, Investor will deliver its Subsequent Funding Payment and Clean Technologies will deliver its CT Funding Amount as described in Section 2.2(d).

This Agreement (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Clean Technologies, the Company and the Project Company) constitutes, and upon execution and delivery by Investor of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the Transaction Documents will constitute, the valid and binding obligations of Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject as to enforceability to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by Investor of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the performance by it of its obligations under such agreements will not, (i) violate any Applicable Law, (ii) conflict with or cause a breach of any provision in the charter, bylaws or other organizational document of Investor, (iii) cause a breach of, constitute a default under, cause the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, or require any authorization, consent, waiver or approval under any contract, license, instrument, decree, judgment or other arrangement to which Investor is a party or under which it is bound or to which any of its assets is subject (or result in the imposition of a Lien upon any such assets), except (in the case of clause (i) and (iii) of this Section 3.3(c)) for any that would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Investor to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(d) Absence of Litigation. It is not subject to any outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling or charge or, to Investor’s knowledge, is not threatened with being made a party to any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or investigation of, in, or before any Governmental Authority or before any arbitrator that would adversely affect its ability to complete the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

22


Affiliates concerning Clean Technologies, the Class B Membership Interests, the Company and the Project Company. Investor understands that the Class B Membership Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance on an exemption therefrom, and that Clean Technologies is under no obligation to register the membership interests. Investor will not sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer the membership interests without registering or qualifying them under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or any other Applicable Laws unless the transfer is exempted from registration or qualification under such laws. Investor is acquiring the Class B Membership Interests for its own account and not for the account of any other Person and not with a view to distribution or resale to others.

(f) Information and Investment Intent. Investor recognizes that investment in the Class B Membership Interests involves substantial risks. It acknowledges that any financial projections that may have been provided to it are based on assumptions of future operating results based on assumptions about certain events (many of which are beyond the control of Clean Technologies, the Company or the Project Company). It understands that no assurances or representations can be given that the actual results of the operations of Clean Technologies, the Company or the Project Company will conform to the projected results for any period. Investor has relied solely on its own legal, tax and financial advisers for its evaluation of an investment in the Class B Membership Interests and not on the advice of Clean Technologies, the Company or the Project Company or any of their respective legal, tax or financial advisers.

(g) Acknowledgement. Except with respect to the representations and warranties expressly made by Clean Technologies, the Company or the Project Company in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, Investor acknowledges that none of Clean Technologies, the Company or the Project Company has made any representation or warranty, nor has Investor relied on any representation or warranty, with respect to Investor’s, the Company’s or the Project Company’s eligibility to claim tax credits or receive the Grant, RECs or other environmental attributes, the depreciation allowances for the Systems, whether the Systems qualify for tax credits or the Grant, or the eligibility of any Member to receive an allocation of such benefits from the Company, and Investor agrees that it will not bring any claim against Clean Technologies, the Company or the Project Company relating to Investor’s, the Company’s or the Project Company’s eligibility to claim tax credits or receive the Grant (except in connection with a breach by Clean Technologies, the Class A Member, the Managing Member, the Company or the Project Company of this Agreement or of its respective obligations under the Company LLC Agreement or the Project Company LLC Agreement that prevent eligibility for the Grant), RECs or other environmental attributes. Investor specifically acknowledges that, except with respect to the representations and warranties expressly made by Clean Technologies, the Company or the Project Company in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, no representation or warranty has been made, and that Investor has not relied on any representation or warranty about the accuracy of any projections, estimates or budgets, future revenues, future results from operations, future cash flows, the future condition of the Systems or any assets of the Project Company, the future financial condition of the Project Company.

(h) PUHCA. It either is not a holding company under PUHCA or, if it is a holding company, is exempt from FERC access to books and records regulation pursuant to Section 366.3(a) of FERC’s regulations under PUHCA.

 

23


(i) FPA. It is not a “public utility” under the FPA, and does not have any non- passive ownership interests in any entity that owns or controls electricity generation or transmission facilities in the U.S.

(j) Disqualified Person. It is not a Disqualified Person.

3.4 Representations and Warranties of Investor on each Subsequent Funding Date. Investor makes each of the representations and warranties in Section 3.3 to Clean Technologies on and as of each Subsequent Funding Date.

ARTICLE 6

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Indemnification.

(a) Clean Technologies agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Investor Indemnified Costs arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, except with respect to Investor Indemnified Costs (t) resulting from fraud or willful misconduct, (u) resulting from failure to pay any amount due to Investor Indemnified Parties under the Transaction Documents, (v) resulting from a Third Party Claim, (w) resulting from the failure to enforce a Material Contract with an Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party, (x) resulting from Project Company (or any of the Systems) not qualifying for (or becoming disqualified under) the REPS Act or the Tariffs as a result of any act or omission by Bloom or any Affiliate of Bloom (including, without limitation, (i) Bloom failing to achieve commercial operation (as defined in the QFCP-RC Tariff) of 5 MW of Systems by March 31, 2013 (unless such date has been extended in accordance with the QFCP-RC Tariff), (ii) Bloom failing to achieve commercial operation (as defined in the QFCP-RC Tariff) of 30 MW of Systems, of which at least 20 MW of Systems were actually manufactured by Bloom in the State of Delaware by September 30, 2014 (unless such date has been extended in accordance with the QFCP-RC Tariff), (iii) Bloom failing to be manufacturing fuel cells capable of being powered by renewable fuels from a permanent manufacturing facility located in the State of Delaware as of the date of Commencement of Operations (as defined in the MESPA) of the full

 

26


nameplate capacity of the Portfolio, or (iv) any of the acts or omissions set forth in Section 4.3 of the MESPA), (y) resulting from Bloom failing to be in compliance with the Letter Agreement (including, if so required by the State of Delaware, posting the security referred to in the Letter Agreement upon or prior to the Commencement of Operation of the first System) or (z) resulting from any surcharges pursuant to the Tariffs being deemed a tax under Delaware law, in no event will Clean Technologies’ aggregate obligation (including any prior indemnity payments by Clean Technologies under this Agreement or under the Company LLC Agreement) to indemnify the Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the sum of the Funding Payments of Investor made to date.

(b) Investor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Clean Technologies Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Clean Technologies Indemnified Costs arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, except with respect to Clean Technologies Indemnified Costs (w) resulting from fraud or willful misconduct, (x) resulting from failure to pay any amount due to Clean Technologies Indemnified Parties under the Transaction Documents, (y) resulting from a Third Party Claim or (z) resulting from the failure to enforce a Material Contract with an Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party, in no event will Investor’s aggregate obligation (including any prior indemnity payments by Investor under this Agreement or under the Company LLC Agreement) to indemnify the Clean Technologies Indemnified Parties hereunder exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the sum of the Funding Payments of Investor made to date.

(c) Other than with respect to Indemnified Costs resulting from Third Party Claims, no claim for indemnification may be made with respect to any Indemnified Costs 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 $175,000 and once such threshold amount of claim has been reached, the relevant Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall have the right to be indemnified only to the extent the amount of Indemnified Costs claimed exceed such threshold amount. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall not be duplicative of one another and shall not allow for duplicative recoveries.

6.2 Direct Claims. In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under Section 6.1 that is not subject to Section 6.3 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 6. The failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall riot amount to a waiver of such claim, except for the extent the resulting delay materially and adversely prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.

6.3 Third Party Claims. An Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party within 10 days after it has actual knowledge of commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under Section 6.1. 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 6, except to the extent the failure to give such

 

27


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 6.3, 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 entails a material risk of criminal penalties or civil fines or non monetary sanctions being imposed on the Indemnified Party or a risk of materially adversely affecting the Indemnified Party’s business (a “Third Party Penalty Claim”), to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or defending such portion of such Third Party Penalty Claim; provided nothing contained herein shalt permit Clean Technologies to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving Investor or any Affiliate of Investor, or permit Investor to control or participate in any Tax contest or dispute involving any Affiliate of Clean Technologies other than the Company and the Project Company; and, provided, further, the Parties agree that the handling of any Tax contests involving the Company will be governed by Section 7.7 of the Company 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 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,

 

28


however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition any such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.3 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, (i) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof which involves any condition other than payment of money by the Indemnified Party, (ii) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof without first demonstrating to Indemnified Party the ability to pay such claim or judgment, or (iii) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of judgment in respect thereof that does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party, a full and complete release from all liability in respect of such claim.

6.4 No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Article 6 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 6.1, only one recovery of Indemnified Costs per Indemnified Party shall be allowed.

6.5 Sole Remedy. Except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or failure to pay, and except for claims brought under Section 6.6, Section 6.7, Section 6.8, Section 6.9 or Section 9.12 of the Company LLC Agreement, the enforcement of the claims of the Parties under this Article 6 are the sole and exclusive remedies that a Party shall have under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document for the recovery of Indemnified Costs; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party hereby reserves all equitable remedies.

6.6 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 6.7, if and as applicable, or as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents.

6.7 Final Date for Assertion of Indemnity Claims. All claims by an Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 resulting from breaches of representations or warranties in (i) Section 3.1 and Section 3.3 shall be forever barred unless the other party is notified within eighteen (18) months after the earlier to occur of the Initial Funding Date and the Initial Funding Termination Date, and (ii) Section 3.2 or Section 3.4 shall be forever barred unless the other party is notified within eighteen (18) months after the Subsequent Funding Date on which such representation or warranty was made; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations in Section 3.l(g), Section 3.l(t), Section 3.l(aa), Section 3.1(bb), Section 3.l(ee) and Section 3.1(ff) (and the corresponding representations made in Section 3.2), shall survive until that date which is 60 days after the applicable statute of limitations expires and the representations in Section 3.l(a), Section 3.1(b), Section 3.1(e) and Section 3.1(f) (and the corresponding representations made in Section 3.2), shall survive forever; 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 6 shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved.

 

29


6.8 Mitigation and Limitations on Indemnified Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

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

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

(c) No Consequential Damages. Indemnified Costs shall not include, and an Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party for or in respect of, any punitive, consequential or exemplary damages of any nature including but not limited to damages for lost profits or revenues or the loss or use of such profits or revenue, loss by reason of plant shutdown or inability to operate at rated capacity, increased operating expenses of plant or equipment, increased costs of purchasing or providing equipment, materials, labor, services, costs of replacement, power or capital, debt service fees or penalties, inventory or use charges, damages to reputation, damages for lost opportunities, or claims of the Project Company’s customers, members or affiliates, regardless of whether said claim is based upon contract, warranty, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or other theory of law unless payable by such Indemnified Party as part of a Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the lost profits or revenues (and the loss or use thereof) language set forth in this Section 6.8(c) shall not be interpreted to exclude from Indemnified Costs any damages, losses, claims, liabilities, demands charges, suits, Taxes, penalties, costs or expenses that would otherwise be included within the definition of Indemnified Costs because they result from a reduction in the profits of the Project Company, the Company, or both.

6.9 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.

 

30


6.10 Repayment; Subrogation. If the amount of any Indemnified Costs, at any time after the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under any insurance coverage (excluding any proceeds from self insurance or flow through insurance policies) or under any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other entity, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, must promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party net of any Taxes imposed upon the Indemnified Party in respect of such amounts, but taking into account any Tax benefit the Indemnified Party receives as a result of such repayment. Upon making any indemnity payment (other than any indemnity payment relating to Taxes), the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party, except third parties that provide insurance coverage to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, in respect of the Indemnified Costs to which the indemnity payment relates. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims at the direction of the Indemnifying Party. Nothing in this Section 6.10 will be construed to require any Party to obtain or maintain any insurance coverage.
