(c) Conversion of Company Shares. Subject to the applicable proration in Section 2.03 and the election procedures set forth in Section 2.04, each Company Share (other than Canceled Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and converted automatically into, and shall thereafter represent only, the right to receive (x) the following consideration set forth in clauses (i) to (iv), as applicable (as may be prorated in accordance with Section 2.03 and together with the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.02, the “Closing Consideration”), (y) a non-transferable contingent right to receive such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Representative Reserve Release Amount, in respect of such Company Share, if, as, when and to the extent that any Representative Reserve Release Amount is payable pursuant to this Agreement and (z) a non-transferable contingent right to receive such

(i) each Company Share with respect to which an election to receive only cash (a “Cash Election”) has been validly made on an Election Form that has not been revoked, deemed revoked or lost (“Cash Election Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Per Share Consideration (the “Cash Election Consideration”);

(ii) each Company Share with respect to which an election to receive only Common Units (an “Equity Election”) has been validly made on an Election Form that has not been revoked, deemed revoked or lost (“Equity Election Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (A) the Per Share Consideration divided by (B) the Common Unit Value (the “Equity Election Consideration”);

(iii) each Company Share with respect to which an election to receive a mixture of cash and Common Units (a “Mixed Election” and, together with a Cash Election and Equity Election, an “Election”) has been validly made on an Election Form that has not been revoked, deemed revoked or lost (“Mixed Election Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (1) the Per Share Consideration, multiplied by (2) 50% (such amount, the “Mixed Election Cash Consideration”) and (B) a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (1) the Per Share Consideration minus the Mixed Election Cash Consideration, divided by (2) the Common Unit Value (the “Mixed Election Equity Consideration” and, together with the Mixed Election Cash Consideration, the “Mixed Election Consideration”); and

(iv) each Company Share with respect to which an Election has not been validly made on an Election Form or where an Election Form has been revoked, deemed revoked or lost before the Election Deadline (“Non-Election Shares”) shall be converted automatically into the right to receive the Equity Election Consideration.

(a) each deferred stock unit granted to a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and each restricted stock unit awarded under the Company Equity Plan that vests solely based on the passage of time (each of the foregoing, a “Company RSU”), in each case outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall, as of the Effective Time, be deemed to be fully vested and shall be canceled and converted into, and represent only, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, for each Company Share subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the right to receive the Mixed Election Consideration (as may be prorated in accordance with Section 2.03), (ii) a non-transferable contingent right to receive such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Representative Reserve Release Amount in respect of each such Company Share subject to such Company RSU, if, as, when and to the extent that any Representative Reserve Release Amount is payable pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) a non-transferable contingent right to receive such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, in respect of each such Company Share subject to such Company RSU, if, as, when and to the extent that any Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount is payable pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as determined in accordance with the Equity Award Payment Schedule under Section 2.06(c); and

Section 2.03 Proration.

(a) Within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, MN8 Energy shall cause the Paying Agent (as defined below) to effect the allocation of the Closing Consideration among each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of Company Shares (other than Canceled Shares), based on such Person’s election pursuant to Section 2.04, of the Cash Election Consideration, the Equity Election Consideration or the Mixed Election Consideration, in each case, in accordance with Article II, including giving effect to the following provisions of this Section 2.03.

(b) If the aggregate amount of cash that would be payable as Closing Consideration, without giving effect to any proration pursuant to this Section 2.03, in respect of (x) all Cash Election Shares, (y) the cash component of all Mixed Election Shares and (z) the Mixed Election Cash Consideration that would be payable in respect of all Company Shares subject to Company RSUs and Company PSUs (collectively, the “Aggregate Requested Cash”) exceeds the Maximum Cash Election Amount, then:

(i) each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive: (A) cash in an amount equal to the product of (1) the Cash Election Consideration (without giving effect to any proration), multiplied by (2) a fraction (I) the numerator of which is the Maximum Cash Election Amount and (II) the denominator of which is the Aggregate Requested Cash (such fraction, the “Cash Proration Factor”); and (B) in lieu of the aggregate amount of the Cash Election Consideration not received in cash in respect of such Cash Election Share due to such proration, a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (1) such amount of the Cash Election Consideration not received in cash in respect of such Cash Election Share divided by (2) the Common Unit Value;

(ii) each Mixed Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive: (A) a cash amount equal to the product of (1) the Mixed Election Cash Consideration (without giving effect to any proration), multiplied by (2) the Cash Proration Factor; and (B) in lieu of the aggregate amount of the Mixed Election Cash Consideration not received in cash in respect of such Mixed Election Share due to such proration, a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (1) such amount of the Mixed Election Cash Consideration not received in cash in respect of such Mixed Election Share divided by (2) the Common Unit Value, in each case, in addition to the Mixed Election Equity Consideration otherwise payable;

(iii) the Company Shares subject to each Company RSU and Company PSU shall be treated as Mixed Election Shares for purposes of this Section 2.03, and the Mixed Election Cash Consideration payable in respect of each such Company Share shall be subject to proration on the same basis as Mixed Election Shares pursuant to clause (ii) above; and

(iv) all Equity Election Shares and Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the applicable Equity Election Consideration.

(c) If the Aggregate Requested Cash is equal to or less than the Maximum Cash Election Amount, each holder of (i) Cash Election Shares shall receive the full Cash Election Consideration payable in respect of such Cash Election Shares, (ii) Mixed Election Shares shall receive the full Mixed Election Cash Consideration payable in respect of such Mixed Election Shares and (iii) the Company Shares subject to each Company RSU and Company PSU shall receive the full Mixed Election Cash Consideration payable in respect of such Company Shares subject to each Company RSU and Company PSU.

(a) MN8 Energy shall (i) prepare a form of election, which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be on a website established by the Paying Agent for purposes of effectuating an Election (the “Election Form”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Election Form and such Certificates to the Paying Agent, and which shall be in such form and shall have such other customary provisions as mutually agreed between MN8 Energy and the Company) and (ii) cause the Paying Agent to make available and mail the Election Form as promptly as reasonably practicable after (but, in any event, no earlier than ten (10) Business Days following) the date of the Company’s commencement of the mailing of the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the Company Members in accordance with Section 5.13(c) and no less than thirty (30) days prior to the Election Deadline (as defined below) (such date, or such other date as MN8 Energy and the Company mutually agree in writing, the “Mailing Date”) to each record holder of Company Shares as of the close of business on the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately prior to the Mailing Date or on such other date as mutually agreed in writing between MN8 Energy and the Company. The Company shall provide MN8 Energy with the list of such record holders of Company Shares, Company RSUs and Company PSUs (including number of Company Shares, Company RSUs and Company PSUs held by each such holder) reasonably in advance of the Mailing Date (such list, the “Record Holder List”). Each Election Form shall permit each Person who will be, at the Effective Time, a holder of Company Shares (other than Canceled Shares) to submit an Election pursuant to Section 2.01(c) in accordance with the following procedures:

(i) Each holder of Company Shares may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.04(a) the number of such holder’s Company Shares with respect to which such holder makes an Election.

(ii) Any Election shall be deemed to be properly made only if the Paying Agent has received at its designated office by 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date that is five (5) Business Days preceding the anticipated Closing Date or such other date as the Company and MN8 Energy shall, prior to the Closing, mutually agree (the “Election Deadline”): (A) an Election Form validly completed and duly executed with respect to such holder’s election made pursuant to Section 2.01(c); (B) Certificates representing the Company Shares to which such Election Form relates (if any); and (C) a Letter of Transmittal (clauses (A) through (C), collectively, the “Required Materials”). The Company shall publicly announce the Election Deadline at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Election Deadline. If the Closing Date is delayed to a subsequent date in accordance with the terms hereunder, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to

a subsequent date, and the Company shall promptly announce any such delay and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Deadline. Any election made pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall have been properly made only if the Paying Agent shall have received the Required Materials by the Election Deadline.

(b) Any Company Shares with respect to which the Paying Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Required Materials in accordance with this Section 2.04 on or before the Election Deadline (other than Canceled Shares) shall be deemed to be Non-Election Shares, and the holder of such Non-Election Shares shall be deemed to have made an Election in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(iv).

(c) Any holder of Company Shares may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, change or revoke such holder’s Election by submitting new Required Materials that are received by the Paying Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In addition, all Elections shall automatically be revoked upon the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII.

(d) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Election Form, MN8 Energy shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any Election has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Form, and any good faith decisions of MN8 Energy regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. The Paying Agent may, with the written consent of MN8 Energy and the Company, make any rules that are consistent with this Section 2.04 for the implementation of an Election as shall be necessary to effect such Election in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.05 Payment Procedures; Exchange of Certificates and Book Entry Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Mailing Date, MN8 Energy shall (i) designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the exchange and paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) in connection with the Merger, including the payment of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article II and, in connection therewith, (ii) enter into an exchange and paying agent agreement (the “Paying Agent Agreement”) with the Paying Agent in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. At or prior to the Effective Time, MN8 Energy shall (A) deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Paying Agent at least two Business Days prior to the Closing, sufficient to pay (y) the amount equal to the lesser of the Aggregate Requested Cash and the Maximum Cash Election Amount, minus (z) the Mixed Election Cash Consideration that would be payable in respect of all Company Shares subject to Company RSUs and Company PSUs to be deposited with the Company pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i) (the “Exchange Fund”) and (B) issue and deposit, or cause to be issued and deposited, with the Paying Agent the aggregate number of Common Units issuable as Closing Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (as may be prorated in accordance with Section 2.03), in each case duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and delivered free and clear of all Liens (other than Corporate Liens), for the benefit of, and for exchange and distribution to, each Person who is, at the Effective Time, a Securityholder who is entitled to receive Common Units pursuant to this Article II (other than the holders of Company Shares subject to Company RSUs and Company PSUs, which are the subject of Section 2.06). In the

event the Exchange Fund, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be insufficient to pay the amount equal to the lesser of the Aggregate Requested Cash and the Maximum Cash Election Amount as a result of any losses on the investment of such amounts as permitted under the terms of the Paying Agent Agreement, MN8 Energy shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to such deficiency.

(b) Reserve Amount. The consideration otherwise payable to any Securityholder pursuant to this Article II has been calculated net of an amount in cash equal to such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Reserve Amount. At or prior to the Effective Time, MN8 Energy shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Securityholders’ Representative an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Reserve Account (which shall be designated by the Securityholders’ Representative to MN8 Energy in writing no later than two Business Days prior to the Closing), equal to the Reserve Amount. For U.S. federal and applicable state income Tax purposes, the Reserve Amount shall be treated as having been paid to the Securityholders at the Closing.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event more than five Business Days thereafter), MN8 Energy shall direct the Paying Agent to mail to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of Company Shares (other than Canceled Shares, and other than to any holder of record of Company Shares who delivered the Required Materials pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(ii)) (i) a letter of transmittal substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, subject to such changes, modifications or supplements with respect thereto as the Company, Holdings and the Paying Agent may mutually agree in writing (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Closing Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c) and (in each case, if, as, when and to the extent payable pursuant to this Agreement) the holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Representative Reserve Release Amount and the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount. On surrender of a Certificate or a Book-Entry Share for cancelation to the Paying Agent, together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with such letter’s instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent), the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor such holder’s Closing Consideration and (in each case, if, as, when and to the extent payable pursuant to this Agreement) such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Representative Reserve Release Amount and the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, in each case, for each Company Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of the Closing Consideration or (if, as, when and to the extent payable pursuant to this Agreement) the applicable Pro Rata Portion of the Representative Reserve Release Amount or the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, in each case, is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (A) the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of such Closing Consideration or (in each case, if, as, when and to the extent payable pursuant to this Agreement) the applicable Pro Rata Portion of the Representative Reserve Release Amount or the Post-

Closing Additional Consideration Amount, in each case, to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Entity that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. To facilitate the payment of the Closing Consideration and (in each case if, as, when and to the extent payable pursuant to this Agreement) the Representative Reserve Release Amount and the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, in each case, to the registered holders of Book-Entry Shares, the Company may (and at the request of the Company, MN8 Energy shall) cause the Paying Agent to collect Letters of Transmittal in advance of the Closing (it being understood that such Letters of Transmittal shall be contingent on, and shall be effective on, the occurrence of the Effective Time). Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.05, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Closing Consideration and Pro Rata Portion of each of the Representative Reserve Release Amount and the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, in each case, attributable to such Certificate or Book-Entry Share as contemplated by this Article II. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no holder of record of a Book-Entry Share, Company RSU or Company PSU will be required to deliver a Letter of Transmittal or surrender such Book-Entry Shares, Company RSUs or Company PSUs in order to receive the applicable Equity Election Consideration or Mixed Election Equity Consideration to which it is entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(d) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. Such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Closing Consideration, the Representative Reserve Release Amount and the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount paid in respect of Company Shares on the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Shares previously represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Entity of the Company Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.05(f), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates and Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Entity for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, on the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Paying Agent or MN8 Energy in its reasonable discretion, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Paying Agent or MN8 Energy may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Closing Consideration and (in each case, if, as, when and to the extent payable pursuant to this Agreement) the applicable Pro Rata Portion of the Representative Reserve Release Amount and the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, in each case to be paid in respect of the Company Shares formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated by this Article II.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. At any time following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, MN8 Energy shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to

deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund (and any interest or other income earned thereon), Representative Reserve Release Amount and any Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount deposited with the Paying Agent that has not been disbursed to Securityholders, and thereafter such Securityholders and the Securityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to look only to MN8 Energy and the Surviving Entity for, and MN8 Energy and the Surviving Entity shall remain liable for payment of their claims for any portion of the Merger Consideration or (in each case, if, as, when and to the extent payable pursuant to this Agreement) the Representative Reserve Release Amount or the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, in each case pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time that would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of MN8 Energy or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MN8 Energy shall direct the Paying Agent to return the Representative Reserve Release Amount to the Securityholders in accordance with Section 2.07 even if such return occurs more than one year following the Closing Date.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the parties or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for any portion of the Closing Consideration or (in each case, if, as, when and to the extent payable pursuant to this Agreement) the Representative Reserve Release Amount or the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, in each case delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable state, federal or other abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(h) Withholding. Each of Holdings, MN8 Energy, Merger Sub, the Surviving Entity and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct or withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as it determines are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), or under any provision of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. Tax Law. For the avoidance of doubt, MN8 Energy may cause the relevant withholding agent to withhold in the manner and in the form of consideration (e.g., cash, Common Units or a combination thereof) that MN8 Energy elects in its sole discretion; provided, however, that with respect to any portion of the Mixed Election Consideration (as may be prorated in accordance with Section 2.03) that is payable in the form of Common Units in respect of Company Shares subject to Company RSUs or Company PSUs held by Employee RSU holders or Employee PSU holders, such deduction or withholding shall be taken in the form of net share settlement of such Common Units, and the relevant holder shall be treated as having been paid cash consideration in lieu of the withheld Common Units (and, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) such withheld Common Units that are net settled shall be deemed to be cancelled and (ii) such deemed cash consideration shall not reduce the Maximum Cash Election Amount) and the relevant withholding party shall pay such an amount equal to such cash consideration to the appropriate Governmental Authority. The parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such deductions or withholding to the extent permitted by applicable Law. To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(i) No Fractional Common Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) no fractional Common Units shall be issued under this Agreement and (ii) for purposes of determining the number of Common Units issuable to any holder pursuant to Section 2.01(c), Section 2.02 and Section 2.03, all Common Units otherwise issuable to such holder in respect of all Company Shares held by such holder and all Company Shares subject to Company RSUs and Company PSUs held by such holder shall first be aggregated, and only such aggregate number of Common Units shall be rounded to the nearest whole Common Unit.

Section 2.06 Payments with Respect to Company Equity Awards.

(a) Company Equity Award Consideration.

MN8 Energy shall cause the Paying Agent to pay (subject to any required withholding) the applicable Pro Rata Portion of the Mixed Election Cash Consideration (as may be prorated in accordance with Section 2.03) payable in respect of Company Shares subject to Non-Employee RSUs and Non-Employee PSUs, to each such Company RSU holder and Company PSU holder, respectively, in accordance with the Equity Award Payment Schedule within five Business Days after the Closing Date.

(c) The Company shall deliver to MN8 Energy and the Paying Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the Closing, a draft version, and at least two Business Days prior to the Closing, a final version, of a schedule, which schedule shall be dated as of the Closing Date, setting forth with respect to each Company RSU holder and Company PSU holder (the “Equity Award Payment Schedule”): (i) the name and address of record of such Securityholder, (ii) whether such holder is a current or former employee of the Company, (iii) (A) with respect to any Company RSUs, the number and type of Company Shares subject to such Company RSUs, the aggregate Mixed Election Cash Consideration (as may be prorated in accordance with Section 2.03) and the aggregate number of Common Units constituting the Mixed Election Equity Consideration payable with respect to the Company Shares underlying such Company RSUs and (B) with respect to any Company PSUs, the number and type of Company Shares subject to such Company PSUs, the aggregate Mixed Election Cash Consideration (as may be prorated in accordance with Section 2.03) and the aggregate number of Common Units constituting the Mixed Election Equity Consideration payable with respect to the Company Shares underlying such Company PSUs, (iv) the Mixed Election Consideration payable (without regard to Tax withholding or deduction for the Reserve Amount) to such Securityholder with respect to Company Shares subject to Company RSUs or Company PSUs held by such Securityholder, (v) the Pro Rata Portion of such Securityholder’s proceeds referenced in the preceding clause (iv) that are to be delivered by MN8 Energy to the Securityholders’ Representative to fund the Reserve Amount and (vi) the Pro Rata Portion of such Securityholder’s proceeds referenced in the preceding clause (iv) that are subject to Tax withholding.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of any Merger Consideration payable in respect of Company RSUs or Company PSUs, (i) if any such amounts constitute non-qualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, the Surviving Entity or its applicable Subsidiary or the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall pay such amounts at the earliest time permitted on or following the respective times otherwise set forth in this Agreement under the terms of the applicable agreement, plan or arrangement that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code and (ii) it is intended that any Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount payable in respect of Company RSUs or Company PSUs comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-(i)(5)(iv)(A), which is applicable to “transaction-based compensation” or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, so that no such payments will be subject to the additional Tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to so comply or be exempt.

Section 2.07 Payment of Representative Reserve Release Amount. To the extent any Representative Reserve Release Amount becomes payable to the Securityholders pursuant to Section 5.15(f), the Securityholders’ Representative shall remit to the Paying Agent such Representative Reserve Release Amount, for further payment to each Securityholder of such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of such amount, and MN8 Energy shall direct the Paying Agent to pay to each Securityholder such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of such amount, promptly, and no later than five Business Days after receipt of such amounts by the Paying Agent.

For U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes, payments of the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount shall be treated as additional consideration paid for Company Shares hereunder except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

At or immediately following the Effective Time, MN8 Energy shall cause all such Closing Company Transaction Expenses not previously paid to be paid in full; provided that invoices for such Closing Company Transaction Expenses have been provided to Holdings at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to receive final invoices with respect to the Company Transaction Expenses on or prior to the Closing Date.

(d) At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Holdings shall deliver to the Company a certification of (i) the final amount, along with supporting invoices, of any Holdings Transaction Expenses (the “Closing Holdings Transaction Expenses”) through the Effective Time (including amounts becoming due at the Effective Time) and (ii) (A) whether the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer will experience a Qualifying Change in Control Termination (as defined in the EPP) on the Closing Date or (B) whether either the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer has provided written notice that (1) a Constructive Termination (as defined in the EPP) will exist as of the Closing Date and (2) such Person has irrevocably resigned from employment upon and as a result of such Constructive Termination as of the Closing Date (which Holdings has irrevocably confirmed that Holdings and its Affiliates will not seek to cure).

Section 2.10 Additional Consideration.

(a) The Securityholders shall be entitled to receive an additional payment from MN8 Energy if, as, when and to the extent payable in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.10.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.10, “Earned Additional Consideration Amount” means, as of any applicable measurement date, an amount equal to:

(i) Adjusted Additional Consideration Holdback Amount multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a percentage (which shall in no event exceed 100%) and equal to the quotient of (A) Specified Project In Service MWs as of such measurement date divided by (B) Total Specified Project MW Capacity.

(c) For illustrative purposes, assuming that the Adjusted Additional Consideration Holdback Amount equals $25,000,000, (i) if there are no Specified Project In Service MWs as of the applicable measurement date, the Earned Additional Consideration Amount shall be $0, (ii) if 50% of the Total Specified Project MW Capacity are Specified Project In Service MWs as of the applicable measurement date, the Earned Additional Consideration Amount shall be $12,500,000 and (iii) if all of the Total Specified Project MW Capacity are Specified Project In Service MWs as of the applicable measurement date, the Earned Additional Consideration Amount shall be $25,000,000.

(d) Each ECCA Placed in Service Notice shall be conclusive and binding on the parties, absent manifest error or Fraud, as to the In Service date and MW capacity of each Inverter Block identified therein, regardless of whether such ECCA Placed in Service Notice is delivered under the Specified Project ECCA before, on or after December 31, 2026. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Holdings copies of any ECCA Placed in Service Notices within five Business Days after the delivery thereof under the Specified Project ECCA. If the Closing occurs prior to January 15, 2027 (or such other date that Holdings and the Company may otherwise agree in writing), from and after the Closing until final determination and payment of the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount (if any), Holdings shall, or shall cause MN8 Energy, the Surviving Entity and their respective controlled Affiliates to, deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative copies of any ECCA Placed in Service Notices within five Business Days after the delivery thereof under the Specified Project ECCA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of any Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be reduced, dollar-for-dollar, but not below zero, solely by the Tax Equity Paid Amount, if any.

(e) If and only if the Closing Date occurs prior to January 15, 2027 (or such other date that Holdings and the Company may otherwise agree in writing):

(i) At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or such later time as Holdings and the Company may otherwise agree in writing), the Company shall deliver to Holdings the Closing Additional Consideration Statement. From the date of delivery of the Closing Additional Consideration Statement until the Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide Holdings and its Representatives with reasonable supporting information that Holdings reasonably requests relating to the determination of the Closing Additional Consideration Amount and the Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount and with access in accordance with ‎Section 5.06, and the Company and Holdings shall use reasonable best efforts to discuss and attempt to resolve in good faith Holdings’ comments (if any) provided at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. If Holdings does not deliver written notice of objection to the Closing Additional Consideration Statement to the Company prior to the expiration of such five-Business-Day period, the Closing Additional Consideration Statement shall become final and

binding, absent manifest error or fraud. If Holdings timely delivers a written notice of objection to the Closing Additional Consideration Statement, such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the items in dispute and the basis for such dispute. Holdings and the Company shall cooperate in good faith for two Business Days following delivery of such notice to resolve the disputed items. If Holdings timely delivers such written notice of objection before the Closing Date that would otherwise have occurred and the disputed items set forth therein have not been resolved prior to such Closing Date, then, solely to permit the two-Business-Day period contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence to expire prior to the Closing, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the second Business Day following delivery of such notice of objection, or such earlier date as Holdings and the Company may agree in writing. Except as expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no objection or dispute pursuant to this Section 2.10(e)(i) shall delay the Closing. If the Company and Holdings agree in writing to make any modification to the Closing Additional Consideration Amount or Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount, then the Closing Additional Consideration Amount or Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount, as applicable and as so modified, shall be deemed to be the final Closing Additional Consideration Amount or Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount, as applicable, for purposes hereof. Any portion of the Closing Additional Consideration Amount that is not paid at the Closing solely because it is disputed pursuant to this Section 2.10(e)(i) shall, to the extent determined to be payable to the Securityholders following final resolution of such dispute (A) by written agreement of Holdings and the Company (or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable) or (B) pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, be paid in accordance with Section 2.10(i); provided that any dispute with respect to the Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.10(h).

(ii) At the Closing, the amount payable in respect of the Closing Additional Consideration Amount shall equal the undisputed portion of the Earned Additional Consideration Amount calculated pursuant to Section 2.10(b) as of the Closing Measurement Date and using only Specified Project In Service MWs that are evidenced by ECCA Placed in Service Notices delivered prior to the Closing Statement Cutoff Time, as set forth in the Closing Additional Consideration Statement, as may be modified pursuant to Section 2.10(e)(i).

(iii) The amount payable at the Closing in respect of the Closing Additional Consideration Amount shall be included in the Aggregate Consideration Amount and Maximum Cash Election Amount and shall be payable in accordance with Article II.

(iv) If the Additional Consideration Remainder Amount is greater than $0, no later than January 31, 2027, Holdings shall prepare and deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Statement.

(v) The Securityholders’ Representative shall have 15 Business Days following receipt of the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Statement to review such statement. During such review period, Holdings shall use reasonable best efforts to provide the Securityholders’ Representative and its Representatives with reasonable

supporting information that the Securityholders’ Representative reasonably requests relating to the ECCA Placed in Service Notices and with reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice to the books and records reasonably necessary to review the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Statement, and Holdings and the Securityholders’ Representative shall use reasonable best efforts to discuss and attempt to resolve in good faith the Securityholders’ Representative’s comments (if any) provided prior to the expiration of such 15-Business Day period. If the Securityholders’ Representative does not deliver written notice of objection to the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Statement to Holdings prior to the expiration of such 15-Business-Day period, the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Statement shall become final and binding, absent manifest error or fraud. If the Securityholders’ Representative timely delivers a written notice of objection to the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Statement, such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the items in dispute and the basis for such dispute. Holdings and the Securityholders’ Representative shall cooperate in good faith for five Business Days following delivery of such notice to resolve the disputed items. Any portion of the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount that is not disputed shall be released to the Paying Agent within five Business Days following the expiration of the Securityholders’ Representative’s review period. Any portion of the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount that is not paid following the expiration of the Securityholders’ Representative’s review period solely because it is disputed pursuant to this Section 2.10(e)(v) shall, to the extent determined to be payable to the Securityholders following final resolution of such dispute (A) by written agreement of Holdings and the Securityholders’ Representative or (B) pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, be paid in accordance with Section 2.10(i); provided that any dispute with respect to the Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.10(h).

(vi) If the Closing occurs on or prior to December 31, 2026 and the Additional Consideration Remainder Amount is greater than $0, from and after the Closing until the final determination and payment of the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, if any, Holdings shall, and shall cause MN8 Energy, the Surviving Entity, and their respective controlled Affiliates to (A) act in good faith in a manner consistent with the expenditures contemplated by the Specified Project Budget (except in the event of an emergency, disaster, catastrophe or other similar condition, as reasonably required to protect life, employee safety, equipment, facilities, properties or the environment or to repair or replace equipment, facilities or properties destroyed or damaged due to such emergency, disaster, catastrophe or condition) and (B) not take any action or refrain from taking any action for the primary purpose or specific primary intent of avoiding, minimizing or preventing the payment of any Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount to the Securityholders under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, Holdings and its Affiliates will (w) have the right (directly or indirectly) to operate the Specified Project, the Surviving Entity, its Subsidiaries and the business of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in its sole and absolute discretion, (x) have no obligation to operate the Specified Project in order to achieve the payment of any Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount to the Securityholders, (y) be under no obligation to operate the Specified Project in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Company operated

the Specified Project prior to the Closing, or in a manner consistent with the manner in which Holdings, MN8 Energy, their respective Affiliates or any other Person operates, or has operated, any other project and (z) be under no fiduciary or other express or implied duty to the Securityholders or their respective Affiliates.

(vii) The right to receive any Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, if payable, (A) is solely a contractual right and is not a security for purposes of any federal or state securities Laws (and shall confer upon each Securityholder only the rights of a general unsecured creditor under applicable state Law), (B) shall not be evidenced or represented by any certificate or instrument, (C) shall not represent any equity, ownership or other interest in Holdings, MN8 Energy, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Affiliates, (D) shall not entitle any Person to any voting, dividend, liquidation, preemptive, anti-dilution or similar rights or any other rights of holders of Equity Interests of Holdings, MN8 Energy, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Affiliates, (E) shall not be redeemable or (directly or indirectly) assigned, pledged, gifted, conveyed, transferred or otherwise disposed of (and any direct or indirect sale, assignment, pledge, gift, conveyance, transfer or other disposition by any Securityholder shall be in violation of Section 2.10(e)(vii)) except by operation of applicable Law in respect of descent and distribution, divorce and community property, (F) shall not accrue or pay interest on any portion thereof, (G) shall not represent any right other than the right to receive any Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount expressly provided for in this Agreement and (H) shall not represent any right to any equitable relief against Holdings, MN8 Energy, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the Specified Project. Any attempted assignment or transfer of the right to receive any Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, or any portion thereof, shall be null and void. The Company and the Securityholders’ Representative, on behalf of each Securityholder, further acknowledges and agrees that (1) the amounts of the Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount are speculative and subject to numerous factors outside the control of Holdings, MN8 Energy, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Affiliates and (2) there is no assurance that the Securityholders will receive any Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, and none of Holdings, MN8 Energy or any of their respective Affiliates have promised or projected any Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount.

(f) If and only if the Closing Date occurs on or after January 15, 2027 (or such other date that Holdings and the Company may otherwise agree in writing):

(i) At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Holdings the Closing Additional Consideration Statement. From the date of delivery of the Closing Additional Consideration Statement until the Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide Holdings and its Representatives with reasonable supporting information that Holdings reasonably requests relating to the determination of the Closing Additional Consideration Amount and the Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount and with access in accordance with ‎Section 5.06, and the Company and Holdings shall use reasonable best efforts to discuss and attempt to resolve in good faith Holdings’ comments (if any) provided at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. If Holdings does not deliver written notice of objection to the

Closing Additional Consideration Statement to the Company prior to the expiration of such five-Business-Day period, the Closing Additional Consideration Statement shall become final and binding, absent manifest error or fraud. If Holdings timely delivers a written notice of objection to the Closing Additional Consideration Statement, such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the items in dispute and the basis for such dispute. Holdings and the Company shall cooperate in good faith for two Business Days following delivery of such notice to resolve the disputed items. If Holdings timely delivers such written notice of objection before the Closing Date that would otherwise have occurred and the disputed items set forth therein have not been resolved prior to such Closing Date, then, solely to permit the two-Business-Day period contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence to expire prior to the Closing, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the second Business Day following delivery of such notice of objection, or such earlier date as Holdings and the Company may agree in writing. Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b)(i), if such postponement causes the Effective Time not to occur on or prior to the Outside Date, neither the Company nor Holdings shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) solely as a result of the Effective Time not having occurred on or prior to the Outside Date during the period of such postponement. Except as expressly provided in the immediately preceding two sentences, no objection or dispute pursuant to this Section 2.10(f)(i) shall delay the Closing. If the Company and Holdings agree in writing to make any modification to the Closing Additional Consideration Amount or Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount, then the Closing Additional Consideration Amount or Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount, as applicable and as so modified, shall be deemed to be the final Closing Additional Consideration Amount or Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount, as applicable, for purposes hereof. Any portion of the Closing Additional Consideration Amount that is not paid at the Closing solely because it is disputed pursuant to this Section 2.10(f)(i) shall, to the extent determined to be payable to the Securityholders following final resolution of such dispute (A) by written agreement of Holdings and the Company (or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable) or (B) pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, be paid in accordance with Section 2.10(i); provided that any dispute with respect to the Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.10(h).

(ii) At the Closing, the amount payable in respect of the Closing Additional Consideration Amount shall equal the Earned Additional Consideration Amount calculated as of the Final Measurement Date using only Specified Project In Service MWs that are evidenced by ECCA Placed in Service Notices delivered prior to the Closing Statement Cutoff Time, as set forth in the Closing Additional Consideration Statement, as may be modified pursuant to Section 2.10(f)(i).

(iii) The entire Earned Additional Consideration Amount payable pursuant to this Section 2.10, including any portion thereof that is paid after the Closing pursuant to Section 2.10(f)(i) and Section 2.10(i), shall constitute the Closing Additional Consideration Amount, there shall be no Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount, and the Additional Consideration Remainder Amount shall equal $0.

(g) Specified Project Change Orders.

(i) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, prior to entering into or authorizing any Change Order, the Company shall deliver to Holdings written notice of such Change Order, together with a copy thereof and reasonable supporting detail with respect thereto, including the estimated amount thereof determined in good faith.

(ii) If the Company reasonably determines in good faith that any Change Order is an Acceleration Change Order, the written notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(g)(i) shall identify such Change Order (or portion thereof) as an Acceleration Change Order and shall include the Company’s reasonable basis for such determination and good faith estimate of costs thereof and shall request Holdings’ consent thereto (which consent may be withheld in Holdings’ sole and absolute discretion). Holdings shall use reasonable best efforts to provide a written response within five Business Days after a written request by the Company for such consent. If Holdings does not deliver written consent to such Acceleration Change Order within such five-Business-Day period, then Holdings shall be deemed not to have consented to such Acceleration Change Order; provided that Holdings may thereafter consent in writing to such Acceleration Change Order, in which case such Acceleration Change Order shall be treated as a consented Acceleration Change Order for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iii) If Holdings consents to an Acceleration Change Order, then such Acceleration Change Order shall not reduce the Additional Consideration Holdback Amount or the Adjusted Additional Consideration Holdback Amount; provided that out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually paid, actually incurred or committed to be paid or incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of such Acceleration Change Order shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the actual and out-of-pocket costs and expenses with respect to the Specified Project exceed the Specified Project Budget by more than $15,000,000 under Section 5.01(b)(xviii).

(iv) If Holdings does not consent, or is deemed not to have consented pursuant to Section 2.10(g)(ii), to an Acceleration Change Order, then such Acceleration Change Order shall constitute an Unconsented Acceleration Change Order, and the Company and its Subsidiaries may enter into and authorize such Acceleration Change Order without the consent of Holdings, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 5.01(b)(xviii)), but only to the extent that the aggregate Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount, after giving effect to such Acceleration Change Order, would not exceed the Additional Consideration Holdback Amount. To the extent any Acceleration Change Order would cause the aggregate Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount to exceed the Additional Consideration Holdback Amount, the Company and its Subsidiaries may not incur the cost of such excess amount without Holdings’ prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in Holdings’ sole and absolute discretion). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any Change Order or portion thereof that the Company did not identify in good faith as an Acceleration Change Order in the applicable notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(g)(i) is deemed to be an Unconsented Acceleration Change Order pursuant to Section 2.10(g)(vi) or is finally resolved pursuant to Section 2.10(g)(vi) or Section

2.10(h) as constituting an Acceleration Change Order, then the Company’s entry into or authorization of such Change Order or portion thereof shall not, solely as a result of such deemed treatment or final resolution, including the amount thereof cause the aggregate Unconsented Acceleration Change Order Amount to exceed the Additional Consideration Holdback Amount, constitute a breach of this Section 2.10(g)(iv), Section 5.01(b)(xviii) or any other covenant or agreement of the Company under this Agreement or cause the condition set forth in Section 6.02(b) to fail to be satisfied.

(v) No Unconsented Acceleration Change Order, and no out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually paid, actually incurred or committed to be paid or incurred in respect thereof, shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the actual and out-of-pocket costs and expenses with respect to the Specified Project exceed the Specified Project Budget by more than $15,000,000 under Section 5.01(b)(xviii).

(vi) If Holdings receives a written notice of a Change Order delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(g)(i) that does not identify such Change Order as an Acceleration Change Order and Holdings reasonably believes in good faith that such Change Order (or portion thereof) should have been identified as an Acceleration Change Order, Holdings may deliver written notice of objection to the Company (if such notice is delivered prior to the Closing) or the Securityholders’ Representative (if such notice is delivered after the Closing) within 15 Business Days following receipt of such notice, which objection shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such objection. The Company (or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable) and Holdings shall cooperate in good faith for five Business Days following delivery of such notice to resolve the disputed matter.

Unless and until such dispute is finally resolved (A) by written agreement of the Company (if prior to the Closing) or the Securityholders’ Representative (if after the Closing) and Holdings or (B) pursuant to Section 2.10(h), in each case, determining that such Change Order or portion thereof is not an Acceleration Change Order, such Change Order or portion thereof shall be deemed to be an Unconsented Acceleration Change Order for purposes of this Section 2.10 and Section 5.01(b)(xviii).

substantial experience in utility-scale solar project construction, change orders, critical path scheduling and placed-in-service or commissioning matters or such other Person with similar qualifications and independence, in each case, mutually agreed upon by Holdings and the Company (or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable), acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator. If Holdings and the Company (or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable) are unable to agree on such firm or such other Person within ten Business days, then within an additional ten Business Days, Holdings and the Company (or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable) shall each select one such firm or one such other Person and those two firms or Persons shall, within ten Business Days after their selection, select a third such firm or third such other Person with similar qualifications and independence (such mutually agreeable firm or other Person or such third firm or Person, the “Independent Expert”).

(ii) Following the appointment of the Independent Expert, the Independent Expert shall be directed to resolve any disputed matters in accordance with the following:

(iii) The Independent Expert’s determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties and the Securityholders, absent manifest error or fraud, and shall not be subject to appeal or further review by any court except on the grounds of manifest error, fraud or the Independent Expert’s failure to comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.10(h).

issue other than the disputed matters expressly submitted pursuant to this Section 2.10(h), to determine any question of law, to modify, amend or waive any provision of this Agreement, to determine any In Service date or MW capacity identified in any ECCA Placed in Service Notice, to determine the accuracy of any ECCA Placed in Service Notice, to determine whether any MW capacity achieved In Service status, to determine any matter relating to a Tax Equity Paid Amount or to determine the amount of any Closing Additional Consideration Amount or Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount.

(iv) Holdings and the Company (if prior to the Closing) or the Securityholders’ Representative (if after the Closing) shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Independent Expert and to provide such reasonable information and access as the Independent Expert may reasonably request in order to render its determination. None of Holdings or the Company (if prior to the Closing) or the Securityholders’ Representative (if after the Closing) shall have any substantive ex parte meetings, teleconferences or other correspondence with the Independent Expert relating to this Section 2.10(h) or this Agreement without providing the other party an opportunity to participate.

(v) The Independent Expert shall agree that prior to its engagement, Holdings and the Company (if prior to the Closing) or the Securityholders’ Representative (if after the Closing) may have exchanged certain proposals relating to the disputed matters that were intended solely for purposes of facilitating settlement discussions and such proposals were confidential and were provided solely on the condition and understanding that such proposals would not be permitted to be disclosed in any court or dispute resolution process, including with respect to the Independent Expert’s engagement in such dispute. The Independent Expert will be instructed to disregard any evidence of such settlement proposals and negotiations in its consideration of the disputed matters, and Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 408 shall apply to any subsequent dispute arising from this Section 2.10(h). The Independent Expert shall be bound by a mutually agreeable confidentiality agreement, which shall preserve the confidentiality of any proceeding before the Independent Expert.

Consideration Amount (in each case, if earned), is only payable once and (iii) in no event shall the Earned Additional Consideration Amount exceed the Adjusted Additional Consideration Holdback Amount. Any portion of the Closing Additional Consideration Amount or Post-Closing Additional Consideration Amount that becomes payable to the Securityholders after the Closing as a result of the final resolution of a dispute pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be paid promptly, and in any event within five Business Days following such final resolution, by (A) deposit with the Paying Agent for further payment to the applicable Securityholders in accordance with Section 2.08 or (B) with respect to any amounts payable in respect of Company Shares subject to Employee RSUs or Employee PSUs, payment to the Surviving Entity for further payment through the Surviving Entity’s payroll procedures, subject to applicable withholding and the timing mechanics set forth in Section 2.08.

good faith such binding offer, and shall have determined that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed in such binding offer were to be given effect (it being understood that in the event of any change to the financial terms (including any change to the amount or form of consideration payable) or any other material change to the terms of such Takeover Proposal, this proviso shall again apply (but the four Business Day period shall instead be two Business Days)).

Section 5.07 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, Holdings shall cause the Surviving Entity to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, honor and fulfill

in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under (i) the certificate of formation and LLCA (or similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to exculpation from liability, indemnification and advancement and reimbursement of expenses and (ii) any and all indemnification agreements made available to Holdings and between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective present or former directors, managers, officers and employees (and any person who becomes a director, manager, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time) solely in their capacity as such, in each case, for any act or omission occurring or existing prior to the Effective Time and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time shall be maintained and survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, Holdings shall cause the Surviving Entity to, (A) to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) (and treating the applicable entity as a corporation subject to the DGCL for this purpose), indemnify, defend and hold harmless each current and former director, manager, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (and any person who becomes a director, manager, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time) and each individual who serves or served at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a Representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan) (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts incurred by such Indemnitee in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Action (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (1) the fact that an Indemnitee is or was a director, manager, officer or employee of the Company or such Subsidiary or serves or has served at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary as a Representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan) or (2) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, manager, officer or employee of the Company or such Subsidiary or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary as a Representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case under clause (1) or (2), at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Action relating in whole or in part to the Transactions or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification, advancement or reimbursement right of any Indemnitee) and (B) assume (in the case of the Surviving Entity, in the Merger without any further action) all obligations of the Company and such Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification, advancement and reimbursement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the Company Organizational Documents and the organizational documents of such Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Holdings, for a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, shall cause, unless otherwise required by the DGCL (and treating the applicable entity as a corporation subject to the DGCL for this purpose), the certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Entity to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to exculpation from liability, indemnification and advancement and reimbursement of expenses of directors, managers, officers and employees and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Company Organizational Documents,

which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees, in each case, for any act or omission occurring or existing prior to the Effective Time and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time. In addition, to the extent provided for in (i) the certificate of formation and LLCA (or similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to exculpation from liability, indemnification and advancement and reimbursement of expenses or (ii) any indemnification agreements made available to Holdings and between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective present or former directors, managers, officers and employees (and any person who becomes a director, manager, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time), for a period of six years after the Effective Time, Holdings shall cause the Surviving Entity to, pay, promptly after receipt by the Surviving Entity of a written request by an Indemnitee, all costs and expenses of such Indemnitee in connection with matters for which such Indemnitee is eligible to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.07(a) in advance of the final disposition of such matter (including any Action in connection with enforcing the indemnity and other obligations referred to in this Section 5.07), subject to receipt of an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.07(a).

(b) None of Holdings or the Surviving Entity shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual litigation, claim or proceeding relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.07 (each, a “Claim”) for which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnitee hereunder or for which an Indemnitee has been named as a party in such litigation, claim or proceeding, unless as a condition to the effectiveness of such settlement, compromise or consent, Holdings or the Surviving Entity obtains an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of or relating to such Claim or such Indemnitee consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent; provided, that, Holdings or the Surviving Entity may settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim without such release or consent if (i) Holdings or the Surviving Entity pays, or causes to be paid, the full monetary amount of such settlement, compromise or consent with no recourse to, or financial obligation on the part of, any Indemnitee in respect thereof and (ii) such settlement, compromise or consent does not include any finding or admission of any violation of Law, wrongdoing, misconduct, failure to act or fault on the part of, or impose any injunctive, equitable or other non-monetary relief upon, or otherwise restrict the conduct of, any Indemnitee. In the event of any such Claim, Holdings and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Claim with separate counsel at their sole expense; provided that such participation shall not (x) grant Holdings or the Surviving Entity any right to control or direct the defense strategy of any Indemnitee, or to use information obtained through such participation adverse to any Indemnitee in any settlement negotiation or proceeding or (y) limit or otherwise affect the right of any Indemnitee to be represented by counsel of such Indemnitee’s choosing in any such Claim and to receive advancement and indemnification, including for such counsel’s fees, to the fullest extent provided by this Agreement. Each of Holdings, the Surviving Entity and the Indemnitees shall cooperate in the defense of any Claim and provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a six-year prepaid “tail policy” (the “Tail Insurance Coverage”) on terms and conditions providing at least substantially equivalent benefits in the aggregate as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, covering without limitation the Transactions and containing provisions substantially in the form as set forth in Section 5.07(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Holdings shall cause the Surviving Entity to maintain such policy in full force and effect, for its full term, and to honor all of its obligations thereunder.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.07 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her Representatives (all as third-party beneficiaries) and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification, reimbursement or contribution that any such individual may have under the Company Organizational Documents, by contract or otherwise. For the six-year period commencing immediately after the Effective Time, the obligations of Holdings and the Surviving Entity under this Section 5.07 (for any act or omission occurring or existing prior to the Effective Time and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time) shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.07 applies unless (i) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (ii) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.07 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.07).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.07, in the event that (i) Holdings, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (A) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (B) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, or (ii) Holdings or any of its successors or assigns dissolves the Surviving Entity, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Holdings or the Surviving Entity shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 5.07.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, managers, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.07 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(g) Holdings’ and the Surviving Entity’s obligations under this Section 5.07 shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time; provided that if any Claim (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is brought against an Indemnitee on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 5.07 shall continue in effect until the full and final resolution of such Claim.

Section 5.08 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, Holdings and MN8 Energy shall take such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable (in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and no-action letters issued by the SEC) to cause transfers of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the Transactions by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company, Holdings or MN8 Energy, as applicable, that are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.09 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time or from time to time after the Closing, at either party’s request and without further consideration, the other party shall execute and deliver to such party such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, provide such materials and information and take such other actions as such party may reasonably request in order to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, no such instruments, materials, information or actions shall increase either party’s liability, or decrease its rights, under this Agreement.

Section 5.10 Obligations of MN8 Energy and Merger Sub. Holdings shall take all action necessary to cause MN8 Energy and Merger Sub to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Holdings shall be jointly and severally liable with MN8 Energy and Merger Sub for the due and timely performance and satisfaction of each such obligation.

(a) For the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending on the date that is 12 months following the Effective Time (or, if earlier, the date the applicable Continuing Employee’s (as defined below) employment with the Surviving Entity or any of its Subsidiaries, or otherwise with Holdings or its Affiliates, as applicable, terminates), Holdings shall, and shall cause the Surviving Entity to, provide each person who is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”), other than any Continuing Employee who was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) base salary or base hourly rate of wages, as applicable, and target annual cash bonus opportunities that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those in effect with respect to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) other employee benefit plans and arrangements to such Continuing Employee that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to similarly situated employees of Holdings or its Affiliates.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Holdings shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, honor the terms of (i) the Retention Program (as defined in Section 5.01(b)(viii) of the Company Disclosure Letter and adopted in accordance with the terms thereof), (ii) the EPP and the participation letters issued thereunder for all EPP Participants and (iii) the Severance Policy (as defined in Section 5.11(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter and adopted in accordance with the terms thereof); provided, that notwithstanding anything herein or in the Company Disclosure Letter to the contrary, neither Holdings nor the Surviving Entity shall be required to pay a Retention Award (as defined in Section 5.01(b)(viii) of the Company

Disclosure Letter) under the Retention Program to any EPP Participant who becomes entitled to receive severance payments or benefits under the EPP as a result of a Qualifying Change in Control Termination (as defined in the EPP) occurring on or before the date that is three months after the Effective Time. Holdings hereby acknowledges that the consummation of the Transactions constitutes a “change in control,” “change of control” or “business combination” (or a term of similar import) for purposes of the EPP, the Company Equity Plan, the Retention Program and the Severance Policy.

(c) With respect to all employee benefit plans of the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries, including any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) (including any vacation, paid time-off, retirement and severance plans), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting, benefit accruals and early retirement subsidies, each Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer was recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with the Surviving Entity or any of its Subsidiaries (or in the case of a transfer of all or substantially all the assets and business of the Surviving Entity, its successors and assigns); provided that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.11(a), Holdings shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by the Surviving Entity or any of its Subsidiaries in which Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Company Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Holdings shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

(e) Holdings shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, on or before March 15, 2027, pay annual cash bonuses with respect to the calendar year ending December 31, 2026 to the Continuing Employees in an aggregate amount no less than the aggregate 2026 target bonuses set forth on Section 5.11(e)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter and which aggregate 2026 target bonus amount will be decreased for any individual target bonus amount attributable to an employee that becomes ineligible for a 2026 annual bonus pursuant to this Section 5.11(e) for any reason prior to payment (other than due to such employee’s resignation, other than due to circumstances constituting a Constructive Termination (as defined in ‎Section 5.01(b)(viii)(6) of the Company Disclosure Letter)); provided, that the individual amount of each Continuing Employee’s 2026 annual cash bonus shall (i) for any Continuing Employee who is set forth on Section 5.11(e)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter, be equal to such Continuing Employee’s

individual 2026 target annual cash bonus and (ii) for any other Continuing Employee, be an individual amount determined prior to the Closing in the sole discretion of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer; provided, further that Holdings shall have no obligation to make such a payment to a Continuing Employee if such Continuing Employee (A) resigns other than due to a Constructive Termination (as defined in ‎Section 5.01(b)(viii)(6) of the Company Disclosure Letter) prior to the earlier of (1) the three month anniversary of the Closing Date and (2) the date on or before March 15, 2027 on which such bonus is payable to other Continuing Employees, or (B) is terminated by Holdings or the Surviving Entity for Cause (as defined in Section 5.01(b)(viii)(6) of the Company Disclosure Letter) prior to the payment of such bonus; provided, further that in no event shall any Continuing Employee be entitled to receive duplicative bonus payments with respect to the same period under both this Section 5.11(e) and Section 3(a)(i) of the EPP; provided, further that in the event that Holdings and the Company mutually determine that the Closing Date is reasonably likely to occur after March 15, 2027, the Company may pay the foregoing 2026 annual cash bonus amounts to its then-current employees on or before March 15, 2027.

(f) For any Continuing Employee who is employed for any portion of the calendar year ending December 31, 2027 and whose employment is terminated by Holdings, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Affiliates without Cause (as defined in ‎Section 5.01(b)(viii)(6) of the Company Disclosure Letter) or by the Continuing Employee due to a Constructive Termination (as defined in ‎Section 5.01(b)(viii)(6) of the Company Disclosure Letter), in each case prior to date on which annual cash bonuses with respect to the calendar year ending December 31, 2027 would be payable in the ordinary course of business, Holdings shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, pay such Continuing Employee a prorated 2027 annual cash bonus in an amount equal to such Continuing Employee’s actual 2026 annual cash bonus amount and prorated for the number of days such Continuing Employee is employed in the calendar year ending December 31, 2027, with such prorated 2027 annual cash bonus amount payable on or within 60 days following such Continuing Employee’s termination date; provided, further that in no event shall any Continuing Employee be entitled to receive duplicative bonus payments with respect to the same period under both this Section 5.11(f) and Section 3(a)(i) of the EPP.

(g) Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate, or cause to be terminated, any Company 401(k) Plan to the extent that Holdings has requested such Company 401(k) Plan to be terminated by providing written notice to the Company at least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, and the Company shall provide Holdings with written evidence that such Company 401(k) Plan have been terminated no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Effective not later than the Closing Date, Holdings or one of its Subsidiaries shall have in effect one or more defined contribution plans that include a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (and a related trust exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code) (as applicable, the “Holdings 401(k) Plan”). If Holdings instructs the Company to terminate all Company 401(k) Plans, each Continuing Employee participating in a Company 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date shall become a participant in the corresponding Holdings 401(k) Plan as of the earliest date permissible under the Holdings 401(k) Plan; provided, however, that Holdings shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that each such Continuing Employee shall become a participant in

the corresponding Holdings 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date. If Holdings instructs the Company to terminate all Company 401(k) Plans, Holdings agrees to cause the Holdings 401(k) Plan to allow each Continuing Employee to make a “direct rollover” to the Holdings 401(k) Plan of the account balances of such Continuing Employee (including promissory notes evidencing any outstanding loans) under the Company 401(k) Plans in which such Transferred Employee participated prior to the Closing if such Company 401(k) Plans permit such a direct rollover and if such direct rollover is elected in accordance with applicable Law by such Continuing Employee. The rollovers described herein shall comply with applicable Law, and each party shall make all filings and take any actions required of such party under applicable Law in connection therewith.

(h) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Entity) to retain the employment of any particular employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time. The provisions of this Section 5.11 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 5.11 is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise and, except as otherwise explicitly provided for in this Agreement, no current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.

Section 5.12 Transaction Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, Holdings shall give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall give prompt notice to Holdings, of any equityholder or member demands, litigations, arbitrations or other Actions (including derivative claims) commenced or threatened against it, its Subsidiaries or its or its Subsidiaries’ respective directors, managers or officers relating to or affecting this Agreement or any of the Transactions (collectively, “Transaction Litigation”) of which Holdings, MN8 Energy or the Company, as applicable, obtains Knowledge and shall keep the other party reasonably and promptly informed regarding any Transaction Litigation, other than with respect to any Transaction Litigation where the parties are adverse to each other or in the context of any Transaction Litigation related to or arising out of a Takeover Proposal. Each of the Company, Holdings and MN8 Energy shall reasonably cooperate with the other in the defense or settlement of any Transaction Litigation, consider in good faith the other party’s recommendations with respect to such Transaction Litigation, and give the other party the opportunity to consult with it regarding the defense and settlement of such Transaction Litigation and to participate (at the other party’s expense) in (but not control) the defense and settlement of such Transaction Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, other than with respect to any Transaction Litigation where the parties are adverse to each other or in the context of any Transaction Litigation related to or arising out of a Takeover Proposal, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall settle or offer to settle any Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of Holdings (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.12, in the event of any conflict with any other covenant or agreement contained in Section 5.04 that expressly addresses the subject matter of this Section 5.12, Section 5.04 shall govern and control.

Section 5.13 Preparation of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and Consent Solicitation Statement; Company Members’ Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company and Holdings shall prepare the Form S-4, which shall include the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in preliminary form, and Holdings shall file it with the SEC. Each of Holdings and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing and to keep the Form S-4 effective as long as necessary to consummate the Transactions.

Each of Holdings and the Company shall provide to the other all information concerning itself and its Affiliates as may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other party in the preparation of the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the resolution of any comments thereto received from the SEC. If, at any time prior to the Company Members’ Meeting, any information relating to the Company, Holdings or any of their respective controlled Affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by the Company or Holdings which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the Company Members. Holdings shall notify the Company promptly (and in any case no later than 24 hours after) on the receipt of any comments from the SEC and of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and shall supply the Company with copies of all correspondence between Holdings or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Each of the Company and Holdings shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC concerning the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and to resolve such comments with the SEC. Prior to the filing of the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, Holdings shall provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and to propose comments on such document or response, which Holdings shall consider in good faith.

(b) The Company and Holdings agree that the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and that none of the information included or incorporated by reference (i) in the Form S-4 shall, at its effective time, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall, at the date the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is filed with the SEC or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is mailed to the Company Members or at the

time of the Company Members’ Meeting or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, except that, in each case, no covenant is made by the Company or Holdings, as applicable, with respect to statements made in the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus based on information supplied in writing by or on behalf of the Company or Holdings, as applicable, specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein. Each of the Company and Holdings agrees that no information supplied in writing by or on behalf of such party specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall, at the date the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is filed with the SEC or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is mailed to the Company Members or at the time of the Company Members’ Meeting or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(c) Notwithstanding any Adverse Recommendation Change but subject to Section 5.13(a) and applicable Law and to the extent not prohibited by any Judgment, the Company shall take all necessary actions in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Organizational Documents to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Company Members (including any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, the “Company Members’ Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Company Member Approval, and shall commence mailing the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the Company Members no later than five Business Days after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. Subject to Section 5.03, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Member Approval as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees that, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, its obligations to hold the Company Members’ Meeting pursuant to this Section 5.13(c) shall not be affected by the making of an Adverse Recommendation Change by the Board of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee thereof and its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.13(c) shall not be affected by the commencement of or announcement or disclosure of or communication to the Company of any Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may in its sole discretion (and the Company shall consider in good faith any written request by Holdings to do so, but shall not be obligated to comply with any such request) adjourn, recess, or postpone the Company Members’ Meeting (though not to any date less than five Business Days prior to the Outside Date) (i) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus that the Company has determined in good faith (after consulting with outside legal counsel) is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplement or amendment to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company Members in advance of the Company Members’ Meeting, (ii) to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any Actions in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or by applicable Law or Order, (iii) if as of the time for which the Company Members’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) there are insufficient Company Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Members’ Meeting or (iv) the

Company and Holdings believe in good faith that such adjournment, recess, or postponement is reasonably necessary to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Company Member Approval, in each case (other than clause (ii)) as long as the date of the Company Members’ Meeting is not postponed or adjourned (x) more than ten Business Days in connection with any one postponement or adjournment and (y) the Company Members’ Meeting is not postponed to a date later than the later of (A) 30 Business Days from the time for which the Company Members’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) and (B) 120 calendar days after the original record date established for the Company Members’ Meeting, excluding, in each case, any adjournments or postponements required by applicable Law. The Company agrees (1) to provide to Holdings reasonably detailed periodic updates concerning proxy solicitation results on a reasonably timely basis (including, if requested by Holdings, requesting and promptly providing periodic voting reports upon the Company’s receipt thereof) and (2) to give written notice to Holdings two days prior to the Company Members’ Meeting and on the day of, but prior to the Company Members’ Meeting, indicating whether as of such date sufficient proxies representing the Company Member Approval have been obtained.

(d) Subject to applicable Law and to the extent not prohibited by any Judgment, Holdings shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and mail a consent solicitation statement (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”) (i) to the Holdings Members and MN8 Energy Members with respect to the Transactions for the purpose of obtaining the Holdings Required Consents listed under the heading “Consent Solicitation Consents” in Section 4.02(c) of the Holdings Disclosure Letter (the “Consent Solicitation Consents”) and (ii) such mailing shall occur no later than three (3) Business Days after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act in accordance with applicable Law and the applicable provisions of the MN8 Organizational Documents and the Internalization Agreement. Each of Holdings and the Company shall provide to the other all information concerning itself and its Affiliates as may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the Consent Solicitation Statement and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other party in the preparation of the Consent Solicitation Statement. If, at any time prior to the receipt of the Consent Solicitation Consents, any information relating to the Company, Holdings or any of their respective controlled Affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by the Company or Holdings which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Consent Solicitation Statement, so that the Consent Solicitation Statement shall not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be prepared by Holdings and, to the extent required by applicable Law and the applicable provisions of the MN8 Organizational Documents and the Internalization Agreement, disseminated to the Holdings Members and MN8 Energy Members. Prior to the mailing of the Consent Solicitation Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) to the Holdings Members and MN8 Energy Members, Holdings shall provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and to propose comments on such document, which Holdings shall consider in good faith. Holdings agrees that the Consent Solicitation Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the applicable provisions of the Holdings Organizational Documents, the MN8 Energy Organizational Documents and the Internalization Agreement and that none of the

information included or incorporated by reference in the Consent Solicitation Statement shall, at the date the Consent Solicitation Statement is first mailed to the Holdings Members and MN8 Energy Members, at the time of the receipt of the Consent Solicitation Consents, or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, except that no covenant is made by Holdings with respect to statements made in the Consent Solicitation Statement based on information supplied in writing by or on behalf of the Company specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein. The Company agrees that no information supplied in writing by or on behalf of the Company specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Consent Solicitation Statement shall, at the date the Consent Solicitation Statement is first mailed to the Holdings Members and MN8 Energy Members, at the time of the receipt of the Consent Solicitation Consents, or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Holdings shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Holdings Required Consents as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act and in any event no later than the date that the Company Member Approval is obtained (the “Holdings Consent Deadline”). Holdings shall keep the Company reasonably informed regarding the status of obtaining the Holdings Required Consents upon the reasonable written request of the Company, including providing the Company with reasonably prompt written notice upon the receipt (or the failure to receive by the Holdings Consent Deadline) of the Holdings Required Consents.

Section 5.14 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Pass-Through Tax Returns. Following the Closing, Holdings shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Pass-Through Tax Returns of the Company that are required to be filed after the Closing. All such Pass-Through Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law. To the extent applicable, the parties agree that any Company Transaction Expenses shall be deducted in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law at a more likely than not or higher level of authority (including, to the extent applicable, by deducting seventy percent (70%) of any success-based fees in accordance with IRS Revenue Procedure 2011-29). A draft of each Pass-Through Tax Return shall be submitted by Holdings to the Securityholders’ Representative for review and comment no later than the date 30 days prior to the date such Pass-Through Tax Return is filed. Any reasonable comments relating thereto and submitted by the Securityholders’ Representative to Holdings at least 15 days prior to the due date for such Pass-Through Tax Return (taking into account extensions) shall be reflected on such Pass-Through Tax Return by Holdings. To the extent applicable, Holdings shall furnish or cause to be furnished Schedules K-1 to the applicable holders of Company Shares in respect of each Pass-Through Tax Return filed pursuant to this Section 5.14(a) by the applicable due date (taking into account extensions). Each Pass-Through Tax Return shall be signed by an individual who was an officer of the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) immediately prior to the Effective Time and who is permitted to sign under applicable Law (the “Pass-Through Tax Return Signatory”), as designated by the Securityholders’ Representative. Holdings shall indemnify and hold harmless

the Pass-Through Tax Return Signatory with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts incurred by such indemnitee in settlement or compromise) and expenses in connection with any Action (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, acts or omissions of the Pass-Through Tax Return Signatory in connection with the Pass-Through Tax Return Signatory’s responsibilities set forth in this Section 5.14(a). For purposes of this Section 5.14(a), “Pass-Through Tax Return” shall mean IRS Form 1065 and any similar U.S. state or local income Tax Return in a jurisdiction that treats the Company as a flow-through entity for income Tax purposes (i.e., an entity where tax items are reported at the entity level but with respect to which items of income, gain, loss or deduction or other Tax attributes or Taxes are allocated to the direct or indirect beneficial owners of the entity).

(b) Tax Contests. In the case of any Action after the Closing with respect to Pass-Through Tax Returns of the Company for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Pass-Through Tax Contest”), Holdings shall control the conduct of such Pre-Closing Pass-Through Tax Contest; provided that the Securityholders’ Representative shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Securityholders, be entitled to reasonably participate in any such Pre-Closing Pass-Through Tax Contest, and Holdings shall not settle or compromise any such Pre-Closing Pass-Through Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Following the Closing, any party that receives written notice of any Pre-Closing Pass-Through Tax Contest described in this Section 5.14(b) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other parties with written notice of such Pre-Closing Pass-Through Tax Contest within 15 Business Days after the receipt thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that with respect to any Pass-Through Tax Return or any Pre-Closing Pass-Through Tax Contest of the Company, at the request of Holdings or its Affiliates, a “push-out” election under Section 6226 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any analogous provisions of U.S. state or local income tax Law) shall be made, and the parties shall cooperate to cause (including by causing any “partnership representative” or “designated individual” to cooperate to cause) any such election to be made.

(c) Transfer Taxes. Any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest relating thereto) incurred in connection with the Merger shall be borne by Holdings, and Holdings shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes.

(d) Tax Certificates. At or prior to the Closing, (i) the Company shall deliver to Holdings a certificate and IRS notice in form and substance required under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-2(c) stating that GREC is not, and has not been during the relevant period, a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code; (ii) the Company shall deliver to Holdings a properly completed and duly executed certificate stating that equity interests in the Company are not “United States real property interests” for purposes of withholding under Section 1445 of the Code pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-11T(d)(2)(i); and (iii) the Company shall deliver to Holdings a properly completed and duly executed certificate described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1446(f)-2(b)(4).

(e) Intended Tax Treatment. The parties agree that for U.S. federal income Tax purposes the Merger shall be treated as a transaction described in IRS Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432, Situation 2, in which the holders of the Company Shares are treated as disposing of such Company Shares in a transaction governed by Section 1001 of the Code (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The parties shall prepare and file all applicable Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and shall not take any position that is inconsistent with such treatment, except as required by applicable Law following a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or other final decision by an applicable Governmental Authority.

(f) Tax Credit Matters. Prior to Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Tax equity investment agreements and Tax credit transfer agreements to which it is a party.

(g) Tax Cooperation. Following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain (i) the memorandum described in Section 5.14(g)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter and (ii) a customary “Section 382 study” with respect to GREC and any of its applicable Subsidiaries (the scope of which shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties by conferring in good faith).

Section 5.15 Securityholders’ Representative.

(a) Appointment; Authority. By virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement and without any further action of any of the Securityholders or the Company, Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, as of the Closing, is hereby irrevocably approved and appointed, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as the sole, exclusive, true and lawful agent, representative and attorney-in-fact of all of the Securityholders and each of them with respect to any and all matters relating to, arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including (i) to authorize, execute and deliver this Agreement and all amendments, waivers, Ancillary Agreements, certificates and documents that the Securityholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Securityholders that the Securityholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement as fully and completely as the Securityholders could do personally, (iii) to take any action, including litigating, defending or enforcing any actions, and to make, deliver and sign any certificate, notice, consent, document or instrument required or permitted to be made or delivered under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement which the Securityholders’ Representative determines to be necessary or appropriate, (iv) to incur and pay expenses on behalf of the Securityholders and to hire or retain, at the sole expense of the Securityholders, such counsel, investment bankers, accountants and other professional advisors as it determines to be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out and perform its rights and obligations hereunder, (v) to give and receive all documents, certificates and notices and make all determinations on behalf of the Securityholders required under this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements, (vi) to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements and (vii) to take any and all actions relating to the administration of any amounts payable to the Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement,

including the initiation, defense or settlement of any disputes relating to any such amounts. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing power and authority in the Securityholders’ Representative, the Securityholders’ Representative shall following the Closing have, and is by virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement and without any further action of any Securityholder or the Company, hereby granted the exclusive power, on behalf of the Securityholders, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to take the following actions: (A) making any and all determinations with respect to, and acting for the Securityholders with respect to any and all matters pertaining to, any amounts payable to the Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement or claims or disputes with Holdings or the Surviving Entity and (B) enforcing the rights of the Securityholders hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement. All actions, notices, instructions, communications and determinations of the Securityholders’ Representative shall conclusively be deemed to have been authorized by, and shall be binding upon, each Securityholder and such Securityholder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Securityholder, and all defenses which may be available to any Securityholder to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest any action of the Securityholders’ Representative taken in good faith in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement are waived. The Securityholders’ Representative is authorized to act on behalf of the Securityholders notwithstanding any dispute among the Securityholders. Any party, its Affiliates and the Paying Agent receiving any notice, certificate, consent or other document or instrument from the Securityholders’ Representative shall have the right to rely in good faith upon such notice, certificate, consent or other document or instrument, and to act in accordance with such notice, certificate, consent or other document or instrument without independent investigation. The Securityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to: (1) rely upon any signature it reasonably believes to be genuine and (2) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Securityholders or other party.

(b) Right to Act. By virtue of the appointment of the Securityholders’ Representative, as of the Effective Time, no individual Securityholder shall be entitled to protect or enforce any rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement except to the extent Section 8.06 provides that such Securityholder has third party beneficiary rights with respect to such matter. As of the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Securityholders’ Representative will have the sole right, on behalf of any or all Securityholders, to institute any Action (at law or in equity or otherwise) under or with respect to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and no individual Securityholder or other group of Securityholders will be entitled to take any such action except to the extent Section 8.06 provides that such Securityholder has third party beneficiary rights with respect to such matter. Each Securityholder, by execution of the Letter of Transmittal and by receiving the benefits of the Merger, including any consideration payable hereunder, acknowledges Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the Securityholders’ Representative and its authority as set forth herein. Following receipt of the Company Member Approval, the Company, solely in its capacity as true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the Company Members, shall execute this Agreement on behalf of the Company Members for the purpose of agreeing to this Section 5.15.

(c) Agency. All action of the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with this Section 5.15 shall be deemed to be facts ascertainable outside of this Agreement and

shall be binding on all Securityholders and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Securityholders.

(d) Resignation, Election and Replacement. The Securityholders’ Representative may resign at any time. If the Securityholders’ Representative resigns at any time or is removed, prior to the Effective Time, the Company, and following the Effective Time, Holdings shall have the right to appoint a professional equityholder representative as Securityholders’ Representative to fill any such vacancy. Each successor Securityholders’ Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Securityholders’ Representative, and the term “Securityholders’ Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to include any successor Securityholders’ Representative. Upon the resignation or removal of the Securityholders’ Representative, such resigning or removed Securityholders’ Representative shall promptly transfer the remaining balance of the Reserve Amount in the Reserve Account maintained by such resigning or removed Securityholders’ Representative to the successor Securityholders’ Representative.

(e) Exculpation; Indemnity; Costs and Expenses. The Securityholders’ Representative will incur no liability in connection with its services pursuant to this Agreement and any related agreements except to the extent resulting from its bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Securityholders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Securityholders’ Representative (based on their respective Pro Rata Portions (which shall at all times sum to 100%)) against any reasonable, documented, and out-of-pocket losses, liabilities and expenses (“Securityholders’ Representative’s Costs”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, in each case as such Securityholders’ Representative’s Cost is suffered or incurred; provided that in the event that any such Securityholders’ Representative’s Cost is finally adjudicated to have been caused by the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholders’ Representative, the Securityholders’ Representative will reimburse the Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Securityholders’ Representative’s Cost to the extent attributable to such bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Securityholders’ Representative’s Costs may be recovered by the Securityholders’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Reserve Account and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Securityholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Securityholders; provided, that while the Securityholders’ Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Securityholders’ Representative’s Costs as they are suffered or incurred. The Securityholders’ Representative may, upon receipt of a claim notice or similar notice that is reasonably likely to give rise to a Securityholders’ Representative’s Cost (as determined in good faith by the Securityholders’ Representative), withhold from any distribution of the Reserve Amount an amount as may be reasonably expected to cover such Securityholders’ Representative’s Cost until such matter is resolved. In no event will the Securityholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Securityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Securityholders’ Representative hereunder. The foregoing

indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Securityholders’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(f) Reserve Amount. The Reserve Amount shall be maintained by the Securityholders’ Representative in a segregated account (the “Reserve Account”). The Securityholders’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Reserve Amount shall be used for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Securityholders’ Representative for any expenses incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in its capacity as such under this Agreement. The Securityholders shall not receive interest or other earnings on the Reserve Amount and the Securityholders irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may have in any interest or earnings that may accrue on funds held in the Reserve Account. The Securityholders’ Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Reserve Amount and has no Tax reporting, withholding or income distribution obligations. The Securityholders acknowledge that the Securityholders’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice. The Securityholders’ Representative may contribute funds to the Reserve Account from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Securityholders to the extent it determines such amounts are necessary to pay directly or reimburse the Securityholders’ Representative for any expenses incurred, or reasonably expected to be incurred, by the Securityholders’ Representative in its capacity as such under this Agreement. Upon the reasonable determination of the Securityholders’ Representative that the Reserve Amount is no longer required to be withheld, the Securityholders’ Representative shall deliver (solely out of the Reserve Account) the remaining balance of the Reserve Amount, if any (after payment of all of the Securityholders’ Representative’s Costs) (any such amount, the “Representative Reserve Release Amount”) to the Paying Agent for payment to such Securityholders in accordance with Section 2.07.

(g) Representations and Warranties of the Securityholders’ Representative. The Securityholders’ Representative represents and warrants to each of the Company, Holdings, MN8 Energy and Merger Sub that (i) it has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, (ii) the execution and delivery by the Securityholders’ Representative of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action and no other proceedings are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and (iii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Securityholders’ Representative and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Securityholders’ Representative in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception and subject to the laws of agency.

(h) Confidentiality. The Securityholders’ Representative shall treat confidentially any nonpublic information disclosed to it in connection with this Agreement, and shall not use such nonpublic information other than in connection with its duties as the Securityholders’ Representative. The Securityholders’ Representative shall not disclose any such nonpublic information disclosed to it in connection with this Agreement to anyone except

as required by Law (subject to the Securityholders’ Representative notifying (unless prohibited by applicable Law), Holdings of such potential disclosure reasonably in advance of such disclosure and cooperating with Holdings, at Holdings’ expense, in any effort to restrict disclosure of such nonpublic information); provided that (i) following the Closing, the Securityholders’ Representative may disclose such nonpublic information to Representatives of the Securityholders’ Representative and to the Securityholders on a strictly need-to-know basis in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; provided that such persons are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect thereto that are not less restrictive than the confidentiality obligations contained in this Section 5.15(h) and (ii) the Securityholders’ Representative (or legal counsel or other advisor to whom information is disclosed pursuant to clause (i) above) may disclose such nonpublic information in any Action relating to this Agreement or the Transactions.

Section 5.16 Liquidity Plan.

(a) Within 120 days of the Closing, Holdings shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the IPO Entity to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed with the SEC, the IPO Registration Statement, which filing may be confidential pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and shall file such amendments or supplements thereto, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) promptly respond to comments from the SEC relating to such IPO Registration Statement, (ii) keep the Securityholders’ Representative reasonably informed regarding the status of the IPO Registration Statement and the IPO, and (iii) subject to market conditions and in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity, cause (A) the IPO Registration Statement to become and remain effective as required by Law or by the underwriters, including, but not limited to, filing such amendments to the IPO Registration Statement as may be required by any applicable underwriting agreement, the SEC or federal, state or foreign securities Laws and (B) the consummation of the IPO. Holdings’ obligations to cause the IPO Entity to prepare and file the IPO Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 5.16 shall expire on the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date (the “Liquidity Date”).

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may provide in writing to Holdings the name of one individual (the “Company Director”) to be designated to serve on the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity from and after the Effective Time and at least through the date specified in the last sentence of this Section 5.16(b), which Company Director shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity, acting reasonably; provided that the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity shall approve or reject such Company Director within 15 Business Days following receipt of such written notice. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity, no Company Director shall be elected or designated to the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity if the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity or a committee thereof reasonably determines that (i) the election of such Company Director to the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity would cause the IPO Entity to not be in compliance with applicable Law, (ii) such Company Director has been involved in any of the events that would be required to be disclosed in a registration statement on Form S-1 pursuant to Item 401(f)(2)-(8) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act or is subject to any Order of any Governmental Authority prohibiting service as a director of any public company or (iii) such Company Director fails to satisfy or comply with any Subject Policy not adopted or modified for the purpose of

preventing the appointment of the Company Director. In any such case described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence as to the Company Director or if the Company Director is otherwise not approved by the Board of Directors of Holdings, the designation of such proposed Company Director shall be deemed withdrawn, and, subject to the requirements of this Section 5.16(b), the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable, shall be permitted to designate a replacement therefor (which replacement Company Director will also be subject to the requirements of this Section 5.16(b)). For the avoidance of doubt, no proposed Company Director shall be disqualified from serving as the Company Director solely because such Person is or was a Securityholder. If the appointment of a Company Director requires prior approval by FERC under Section 203 of the FPA, Holdings shall (and shall cause the IPO Entity to, as applicable), reasonably cooperate with the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable, and the approval shall not be a condition to Closing, and if such approval remains pending or FERC requires additional disclosure in connection with such appointment, the appointment of such Company Director shall be delayed until such approval is obtained or the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable, may elect to (x) designate a replacement Company Director whose appointment does not require prior approval by FERC under Section 203 of the FPA (which replacement Company Director will also be subject to the requirements of this Section 5.16(b)) or (y) designate a non-voting observer (the “Company Observer”) in lieu of a Company Director in accordance with Section 5.16(c). The IPO Entity shall give the Company Director all rights and benefits of a member of the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity. The Company Director shall enter into a customary engagement agreement with confidentiality obligations in a form reasonably acceptable to the IPO Entity. The Board of Directors of the IPO Entity may impose as a condition to a Company Director serving on the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity that such Company Director agrees to, and be subject to, each Subject Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, if no Company Director or Company Observer, as applicable, has been designated by the Company as of the Effective Time for any reason, then, from and after the Effective Time, the Securityholders’ Representative shall have the right to designate the Company Director or Company Observer, as applicable, by written notice to Holdings or the IPO Entity pursuant to this Section 5.16(b). Subject to the foregoing and the last sentence of this Section 5.16(b), the Securityholders’ Representative shall have the sole right to remove the Company Director at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice to the IPO Entity, and to designate a replacement Company Director to fill any vacancy arising from such removal, or from the death, disability, resignation, or incapacity of the Company Director. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the earlier to occur of (A) the consummation of the IPO and (B) such time that the IPO Entity gives effect to the transaction referenced in Section 5.16(f), all rights granted to the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Director under this Section 5.16(b) shall automatically terminate.

(c) If the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable, elects to designate a Company Observer in lieu of a Company Director pursuant to Section 5.16(b)(y), the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable, shall have the right to appoint one Company Observer to attend the meetings the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity in a non-voting capacity from and after the Effective Time and at least through the date specified in the last sentence of this Section 5.16(c). The Company or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable, shall notify the IPO Entity in writing of the name of any Company Observer prior to designating such Company Observer. The Company Observer shall enter into a

board observer agreement with confidentiality obligations in form reasonably acceptable to the IPO Entity. The Company Observer shall not be entitled to vote on, or consent to, any matters presented to the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity and shall not constitute a member of the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity. The IPO Entity shall give the Company Observer notice of the applicable meeting or action taken by written consent at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity, provide the Company Observer with access to all materials and other information given to the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity in connection with such meetings or actions taken by written consent at the same time and in the same manner as such materials and information are furnished to the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity, and provide the Company Observer with all rights to attend such meetings as are provided to Board of Directors of the IPO Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a vote of a majority of the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity, the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity may exclude the Company Observer from the relevant portion of any meeting of the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity or any committee thereof (and from receiving information provided to the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity) to the extent such information or meeting involves a matter that creates, or otherwise relates to, any conflict of interest between the IPO Entity and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company Observer, on the other hand, or that may otherwise violate applicable Law. The IPO Entity reserves the right to exclude the Company Observer from access to any information or meeting or portion thereof if the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity determines, in its reasonable good faith discretion, that such access would cause the loss of the attorney-client privilege protection otherwise afforded to such information or prevent the Board of Directors of the IPO Entity from engaging in attorney-client privileged communication. Subject to the foregoing and the last sentence of this Section 5.16(c), the Securityholders’ Representative shall have the sole right to remove the Company Observer at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice to the IPO Entity, and to designate a replacement Company Observer to fill any vacancy arising from such removal, or from the death, disability, resignation, or incapacity of the Company Observer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the IPO and (ii) such time that the IPO Entity gives effect to the transaction referenced in Section 5.16(f), all rights granted to the Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Observer under this Section 5.16(c) shall automatically terminate.

(d) Each Securityholder of the Company, by voting in favor of or consenting to the Merger, or by accepting any portion of the Merger Consideration, in their capacity as holders of IPO Entity Common Shares, shall be bound by the lock-up provisions applicable to holders of Common Units under the A&R Holdings LLC Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.16 shall be applicable to the Securityholders of the Company, in their capacity as holders of IPO Entity Common Shares, only if the directors, officers and securityholders of Holdings, in their capacity as holders of IPO Entity Common Shares, are subject to the same restrictions, and only for so long as such restrictions remain in effect with respect to such persons. To the extent the securityholders of Holdings, in their capacity as holders of IPO Entity Common Shares, (i) are subject to less restrictive lock-up or market-standoff provisions in accordance with the terms of the A&R Holdings LLC Agreement or (ii) have lock-up restrictions waived prior to the expiration of any applicable lock-up period, such less restrictive lock-up or market-standoff provisions, and such waiver, shall automatically and without the need for any further action or consent apply to Securityholders of the Company, in their capacity as holders of IPO Entity Common Shares, to the same extent.

(e) For 24 months following effectiveness of an IPO Registration Statement, with a view to making available to Securityholders of the Company and securityholders of Holdings, in their respective capacities as holders of the IPO Entity Common Shares, the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the IPO Entity to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, Holdings shall cause the IPO Entity, following the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement, to (i) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the IPO Entity for the IPO, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the IPO Entity under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the IPO Entity has become subject to such reporting requirements) and (iii) furnish to any holders of IPO Entity Common Shares, forthwith upon request (A) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the IPO Entity that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the IPO Entity for the IPO), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the IPO Entity has become subject to such reporting requirements) or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the IPO Entity so qualifies to use such form); and (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the IPO Entity and such other reports and documents so filed by the IPO Entity.

(f) To the extent an IPO is not consummated by the Liquidity Date, Holdings will use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate or cause the consummation of a transaction on or prior to the date that is 12 months following the Liquidity Date in which Securityholders of the Company immediately preceding the Effective Time that own any Common Units issued as Merger Consideration (and their transferees) will be offered an opportunity to sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of such Common Units, which may be (i) structured as, and subject to approval of the Board of Directors of Holdings and in consultation with the Securityholders’ Representative, a sale of the Common Units of participating investors to one or more investors or other purchasers (including through a third party tender offer by such investor(s) or purchaser(s) to purchase such Common Units) or a self-tender or equity buy-back program funded solely with proceeds of the issuance of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Common Units to be redeemed or purchased in such self-tender offer or buy-back program and (ii) in a maximum amount that the Board of Directors of Holdings determines to be in the best interest of the equityholders of Holdings and at a price per Common Unit that is not less than the Per Share Consideration (as adjusted for any stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations, exchanges or other similar changes occurring after the Effective Time); provided that, if the Board of Directors of Holdings determines in good faith that market conditions do not permit a transaction at or above such price, Holdings may effect such transaction at a price per Common Unit below such price with the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that after the date that is 12 months following the Liquidity Date, Holdings may effect any such transaction at a price that the Board of Directors of Holdings determines to be in the best interest of the equityholders of Holdings, with the decision by any holder of Common Units as to whether or not it will participate in such secondary transaction remaining with such holder. Holdings may offer the right to participate in such transaction to all or a portion of other equityholders of Holdings in

accordance with the A&R Holdings LLC Agreement; provided, further, that any such offer shall not reduce, limit or otherwise affect the opportunity of the Securityholders or their transferees described in the first sentence of this Section 5.16(f) to sell or otherwise dispose of such Common Units in accordance with this Section 5.16(f), except any Common Units that such Securityholders or such transferees elect to sell or otherwise dispose of in such transaction may be subject to proration, allocation or reduction on a pro rata basis compared to current equityholders of Holdings or their transferees as a result of any participation in such transaction by any other equityholders of Holdings. For the avoidance of doubt, Holdings’ obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate or cause the consummation of a transaction described in this Section 5.16(f) shall include using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent, approval, waiver or other authorization required from any MN8 Supporting Member or any transferee of any MN8 Supporting Member.

(g) The Securityholders’ Representative may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.16 on behalf of the Securityholders.

Section 5.17 R&W Insurance. Prior to the Closing or concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Holdings shall, or shall cause its Subsidiary to, bind a third-party insurance in respect of the representations and warranties in this Agreement (the “R&W Insurance Policy”), which shall be effective as of, and contingent upon, the occurrence of the Closing. Holdings or such Subsidiary shall be solely responsible for (i) funding the full amount of the required deposit and all underwriting fees in order for Holdings or such Subsidiary to bind and obtain the R&W Insurance Policy, payable concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and (ii) at the Effective Time, the full amount of the premium, all brokerage fees, all Taxes, and any other costs, fees or expenses associated with the R&W Insurance Policy. From and after the Effective Time, if Holdings provides the Securityholders’ Representative with notice of any written claim made against the R&W Insurance Policy, the Securityholders’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at Holdings’ sole cost and expense, to cooperate with Holdings in connection with any claim made by Holdings or such Subsidiary under the R&W Insurance Policy. The R&W Insurance Policy shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of Holdings or such Subsidiary. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, the Company shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, at Holdings’ sole cost and expense, with Holdings and its Representatives with respect to Holdings’ procurement of, including without limitation, (i) conducting any additional diligence investigation, (ii) providing to Holdings any additional diligence information required to address and remove any conditional exclusions under the R&W Insurance Policy, and (iii) providing all necessary information and access to relevant documentation and individuals to submit and manage a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy and prove any and all losses claimed thereunder. Holdings or such Subsidiary shall ensure that the R&W Insurance Policy expressly waives any claims for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof (except in the case of, and only to the extent of, damages paid by the applicable insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy resulted from Fraud, and in such case only against such person who has committed such Fraud) against the Securityholders and each of their respective Affiliates and Representatives, and Holdings or such Subsidiary shall not permit any amendment to the R&W Insurance Policy with respect to such provision in a manner that would be adverse to the Securityholders or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives without the prior written consent of the Company (if before the Effective Time) or the Securityholders’

Representative (if after the Effective Time). At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Holdings (or its designee) a true and correct copy of the contents of the data room maintained on behalf of the Company on a USB drive or other means reasonably acceptable to Holdings.

Section 5.18 Advisory Client Notices and Consents. With respect to each Advisory Client that is a Non-Fund Client, the Company shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the Closing, cause the relevant IA Subsidiary to inform each Non-Fund Client (or the board, trustees, or independent directors of each Non-Fund Client in accordance with the Advisory Contract) in writing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and use reasonable best efforts to seek such Non-Fund Client’s consent to the “assignment” (within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act) of its Advisory Contract and to the continuation of its investment advisory agreement with the Company or any IA Subsidiary (each, a “Client Consent”); provided that, to the extent consistent with applicable Law and SEC staff guidance or pronouncements and consistent with the requirements of the relevant Advisory Contract (e.g., such Advisory Contract does not require affirmative (i.e., written) consent), such Client Consent may take the form of a so-called “negative consent.” At all times prior to the Closing Date, the Company and each IA Subsidiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep Holdings informed of the status of obtaining such Client Consents and, at Holdings’ request, make available to Holdings all such executed Client Consents, and any evidence of Persons declining to consent or withdrawing its Client Consent. Holdings shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review drafts of all Client Consents or notice materials to be used by the Company and any IA Subsidiary and to provide comments on the language in such draft Client Consents or notice materials prior to distribution to any Non-Fund Client, and the Company or any IA Subsidiary shall consider such comments in good faith, and implement the reasonable comments of Holdings in a mutually agreeable manner.

Section 5.19 Private Fund Clients. With respect to each Advisory Client that is a Private Fund, the Company shall, in accordance with applicable Law and the applicable Fund Documents, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the Closing, the requisite consent of each Private Fund to the deemed “assignment” (within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act) of each such Private Fund’s Advisory Contract (including, as applicable, the consent of any applicable requisite percentage of the board of directors, advisory committee, investment committee or investors therein).

Prior to the Effective Time, the existing limited liability company agreement of Holdings shall be amended and restated in its entirety to be substantially in the form as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and, as so amended and restated, shall be the limited liability company agreement of Holdings (the “A&R Holdings LLC Agreement”) until thereafter amended as provided therein.

adjustment shall require the prior written consent of the Company if such amendment or adjustment (i) would be adverse to the Company or the Company Members in any material respect, (ii) would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the Transactions, (iii) would change the form or amount of the Merger Consideration or (iv) would reasonably be expected to require an additional consent of any MN8 Supporting Member (whether under any applicable Voting Agreement or otherwise), unless such additional consent from such MN8 Supporting Member has been obtained).

Section 5.22 Release.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Time, by voting in favor of or consenting to the Merger, or by accepting any portion of the Merger Consideration, each Securityholder (each, a “Releasor”), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably acquits, remises, discharges and forever releases Holdings, MN8 Energy, Merger Sub and the Company and their respective Affiliates (including, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity), and each Representative of each of the foregoing Persons (collectively, the “Releasees”), from any and all liabilities, including those arising under any Law or Contract, both at law and in equity, which any Releasor, or any of their respective heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, now has, has ever had, or may hereafter have against any Releasee on account of or arising out of any matter, cause, event or circumstance occurring from the beginning of time through the Closing, in each case, in respect of or relating to any Common Shares or equity equivalents held directly or indirectly by the Securityholder, expressly excluding (i) any rights under, or claims arising from this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (ii) in the case of any Releasor who is or was a director, manager, officer, employee, consultant or service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any rights of exculpation, indemnification, advancement or reimbursement of expenses, or contribution in respect of any act or omission occurring or existing at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in (A) the Company Organizational Documents and the organizational documents for each of its Subsidiaries, (B) any indemnification agreement between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and such Releasor disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter, (C) any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or the Tail Insurance Coverage, in each case as further described in Section 5.07, and (D) any claims for unpaid salary, bonuses, severance pay, wages, commissions, overtime pay, paid time off, consulting fees, benefits, or any other compensation earned or arising out of the Releasor’s relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and reimbursements of expenses for services actually provided by the Releasor prior to the Effective Time, (iii) any claims under the Company Plans, (iv) any claims to the extent such claims may not be waived as a matter of applicable Law and (v) any claims based on Fraud by any Releasee (all of the foregoing, to the extent not excluded, collectively referred to herein as the “Released Claims”).

(c) The Releasors shall be deemed to relinquish, to the extent applicable, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any Law of any state or territory of the United States, including any principle of common law, which is similar, comparable or equivalent to Section 1542. The Releasors acknowledge and agree that the foregoing waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement and that, without such waiver, Holdings, MN8 Energy and Merger Sub would not have agreed to the terms of the Merger or this Agreement.

(d) Each letter of transmittal delivered in connection with the Transactions shall have release language consistent with this Section 5.22, but the absence of a signed letter of transmittal shall not affect the release granted under this Section 5.22.

Section 8.08 Specific Enforcement.

(a) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement and the Transactions. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 8.07(b) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right neither the Company, Holdings, MN8 Energy nor Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.08 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(b) The parties hereto further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 8.08, each of the Company, Holdings and MN8 Energy shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 8.08 shall require the Company, Holdings or MN8 Energy to institute any Action (or limit such party’s right to institute any Action) for an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief under this Section 8.08 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VII (and receiving or pursuing monetary damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Action pursuant to this Section 8.08 or anything set forth in this Section 8.08 restrict or limit such party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter; provided that in no event shall the Company, Holdings or MN8 Energy be entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the Closing to occur, on the one hand, and monetary damages as a result of failure to consummate the Closing, on the other hand.

Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The terms “or”, “any” and “either” are not exclusive. The words “wholly owned Subsidiary” of the Company shall disregard any tax equity interests for purposes of determining whether a Subsidiary is wholly-owned. The determination of whether a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Holdings is considered to be a “wholly owned Subsidiary” of Holdings, MN8 Energy or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall disregard any tax equity interests or interests in MN8 Energy Operating Company LLC held by the special interests holder of MN8 Energy Operating Company LLC and preferred equity interests of MN8 Energy.

(b) The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement shall have independent significance. If a breach of an applicable representation or warranty has occurred, the fact that there exists another representation or warranty in this Agreement relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) for which a breach has not occurred shall not detract from or mitigate the breach that did occur.

Section 8.16 Provision Respecting Legal Representation. Each party hereby acknowledges that the Company has retained the Retained Counsel to act as its counsel in

connection with the Transactions, that the Retained Counsel has not acted as counsel for Holdings, MN8 Energy or Merger Sub in connection with the Transactions and that Holdings, MN8 Energy and Merger Sub does not have the status of a client of the Retained Counsel for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result of the Transactions. The Company, Holdings, MN8 Energy and Merger Sub hereby agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective managers, directors, equityholders, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that, in the event a dispute arises after the Closing between Holdings or its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and the Securityholders’ Representative, any Securityholder or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, the Retained Counsel may represent the Securityholders’ Representative, such Securityholder or any of their respective Affiliates in such dispute, and Holdings and its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall not seek to prevent Retained Counsel from representing the Securityholders’ Representative, any Securityholder or any of their respective Affiliates in such a dispute, even though the interests of the Securityholders’ Representative, such Securityholder or any of their respective Affiliates may be directly adverse to Holdings or its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries), and even though the Retained Counsel may have represented the Company and its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Holdings further agrees that, as to all communications among the Retained Counsel, the Company, its Subsidiaries, any Securityholders or any of their respective Affiliates that relate to the Transactions, the attorney-client privilege (as it relates to the Retained Counsel’s work in connection with the Transactions) and the expectation of client confidence belong to the Securityholders’ Representative and the Securityholders after the Closing, shall be managed by the Securityholders’ Representative after the Closing on behalf of the Securityholders and shall not pass to or be claimed by Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute relating to the Transactions arises between Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party (other than the Securityholders’ Representative, any Securityholder or any of their respective Affiliates), on the other hand, after the Closing, the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by the Retained Counsel relating to the Transactions to such third party or the use thereof by the Retained Counsel in connection with its representation of a party in such dispute; provided, however, after the Closing, that none of Holdings, the Company or their respective Affiliates may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative, and the Securityholders’ Representative may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Company. In the event that the Securityholders’ Representative, any Securityholder or any of their respective Affiliates are named as defendants in an Action brought by a third party (other than Holdings or the Company) that relates to any conduct of the Company or its Affiliates that occurred prior to the Closing, the Securityholders’ Representative, the Securityholders and their respective Affiliates shall have access to all privileged materials of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to the conduct of such Securityholders’ Representative, Securityholder or respective Affiliate insofar as the Company determines in good faith that granting such access does not jeopardize the protection of the attorney-client privilege and would not reasonably be expected to result in any losses or other detriments for Holdings, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Retained Counsel has represented or advised the Company in matters other than in connection with the Transactions, all such attorney-client privilege shall remain with the Company and shall not pass

to the Securityholders’ Representative, any Securityholder or any of their Affiliates. The Retained Counsel shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 8.16.

The Member may transfer all or any portion of its limited liability company interest in the LLC and any and all rights and/or obligations associated therewith to any person at any time. The transferee of an interest in the LLC shall be admitted to the LLC as a member of the LLC upon its execution of a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, or some other written instrument reasonably acceptable to the Member in which it agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the transferring Member is the sole member and transfers all of its interest in the LLC, such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the transfer and immediately following such admission, the transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the LLC.

14.         Admission and Withdrawal of Additional Members. One or more additional member(s) may be admitted to the LLC with the written consent of the Member. The Member may resign from the LLC at any time. Upon the admission to the LLC of any additional member(s), if the LLC then has two or more members, the members shall cause this Agreement to be amended and restated to reflect the admission of such additional member(s) and the initial capital contribution, if any, of such additional member(s) and to include such other provisions as the members may agree to reflect the change of status of the LLC from a single member limited liability company to a limited liability company with two or more members.

15.         Liability of the Member. The Member, in its capacity as member of the LLC, shall have no liability for the obligations or liabilities of the LLC except to the extent provided in the Act and applicable law. Nothing expressed in or implied by this Agreement shall be construed to confer upon or to give any person, except the Member, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

(a)          Subject to the occurrence of an event of dissolution pursuant to Section 16(b), the LLC shall have perpetual existence.

(b)          The LLC shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of the following:

(i)         the written consent of the Member;

(ii)        at any time there is no member of the LLC unless the LLC is continued in accordance with the Act; or

(iii)       the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

(c)          In the event of dissolution, the LLC shall wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the LLC) in an orderly manner, and the assets of the LLC shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act. As part of the winding up process, any amounts permitted to be distributed to the Member in accordance with Section 18-804 of the Act shall be distributed to the Member.

17.         Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a Covered Person (as defined below) shall have no personal liability to the LLC or its members for monetary damages for breach of any fiduciary duty or breach of contract as a Covered Person; provided that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate the liability of a Covered Person for loss or damage that is ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such loss or damage is due to an act or omission of such a Covered Person that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the LLC shall (a) indemnify any person or such person’s heirs, distributees, next of kin, successors, appointees, executors, administrators, legal representatives or assigns who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the LLC or is or was serving at the request of the LLC or its Member as a manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, limited or general partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, domestic or foreign (a “Covered Person”), against expenses, attorneys’ fees, court costs, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and other losses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and (b) subject to receipt of a written undertaking by, or on behalf of, such Covered Person to repay such expenses to the extent that it shall be determined ultimately that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder, advance expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending such civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding to the full extent authorized or permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware; provided that a Covered Person shall not be so indemnified with respect to any matter as to which there has been a Final Adjudication that such Covered Person’s acts or failure to act constituted a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity to the LLC or its members, are agreed by the Member to replace such other duties and liabilities of each such Covered Person.

18.         Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Act, this Agreement may only be amended by the written consent of the Member to such effect.

19.         Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors, executors, administrators, legal representatives, heirs and legal assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and, except as otherwise provided herein, their respective successors, executors, administrators, legal representatives, heirs and legal assigns.

20.         Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed under, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws, and all rights and remedies shall be governed by those laws. The Member intends the provisions of the Act to be controlling as to any matters not set forth in this Agreement.

21.         No Benefit of Third Parties. The provisions of this Agreement are intended only for the regulation of relations among the Member and former or prospective members of the LLC. This Agreement is not intended for the benefit of any other person.

22.         Separability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable, and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement that are valid, enforceable and legal.

23.         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile or other electronic signature. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument.
