WAIVER, CONSENT, AND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

This Waiver, Consent, and Amendment Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of June 5, 2026, is made by and between LIBERTY BANK, in its capacity as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and the lenders listed on the signature pages hereto as lenders (the “Lenders”) and FUELCELL ENERGY FINANCE HOLDCO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement, as defined below.

WHEREAS, the Borrower has entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2023 (as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its provisions, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto and the Agent;

WHEREAS, as notified in Borrower’s Notice dated April 25, 2026 (the “Notice”), as of March 2026, the Project Company was completing works on the Facility to optimize its performance during which it determined that Facility reliability would be increased by upgrading from the existing technology to the 2.5 MW Energy Blocks in lieu of scheduled module replacements, and pending such planned upgrades, to forego repairs and have the existing units not generate electricity;  

WHEREAS, as a result of the Project Company’s ceasing to generate electricity pending the equipment upgrade, it may not meet the Output Guarantee under Section 3.4 of the Power Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, as a result of the Project Company’s potential failure to meet the Output Guarantee, the Borrower may be unable to: (a) maintain the Liberty DSCR Reserve Account and / or deposit into the Liberty DSCR Reserve Account the Liberty DSCR Reserve Account Deficiency as required pursuant to Section 6.20 of the Credit Agreement; and (b) maintain the Amalgamated DSCR Reserve Account and / or deposit into the Amalgamated DSCR Reserve Account the Amalgamated DSCR Reserve Account Deficiency as required pursuant to Section 6.20 of the Credit Agreement (the “Potential DSCR Account Defaults”);

that it will satisfy this requirement by transferring $3,000,000 into the Payment Reserve Account concurrently with finalizing this Agreement (including from funds previously contributed to the Borrower’s operating account);

WHEREAS, failure to perform or observe any covenant contained in Sections 6.20 and 6.21, or Article VII constitutes an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders consent to: (a) notwithstanding Section 6.20(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement, (i) permit FCE or an affiliate of FCE to deposit the Liberty DSCR Reserve Account Deficiency into the Liberty DSCR Reserve Account rather than the Borrower; and (ii) permit FCE or an affiliate of FCE to deposit the Amalgamated DSCR Reserve Account Deficiency into the Amalgamated DSCR Reserve Account rather than the Borrower;

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested a waiver of the Potential DSCR Defaults for the periods ending  June 30, 2026, September 30, 2026, December 31, 2026, and March 31, 2027;
