Pre-financing Pre-financing is intended to provide the beneficiary with a float. Where required by the provisions of Article I.4 on pre-financing, the beneficiary shall furnish a financial guarantee from a bank or an approved financial institution established in one of the Member States of the European Union. The guarantor shall stand as first call guarantor and shall not require the Commission to have recourse against the principal debtor (the beneficiary). The financial guarantee shall remain in force until final payments by the Commission match the proportion of the total grant accounted for by pre-financing. The Commission undertakes to release the guarantee within 30 days following that date.
Additional Financing 2.15.1 In the event that the PIPE Closing does not occur prior to or concurrently with the Closing as a result of the failure of any of the conditions to the PIPE Closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement to have been satisfied or waived or because the Stock Purchase Agreement has been terminated, ECP shall be required to provide $150 million to DYN or the Buyer, as applicable, through one of the following options (provided that if (x) the First Buyout Condition fails to occur (other than in the circumstances described in clause (z) below), ECP can elect either option in its sole discretion, (y) the First Buyout Condition occurs, only the provisions of clause (i) below shall apply and (z) in the event that the First Buyout Condition fails to occur and the PIPE Closing has not occurred or does not occur as a result of the failure of the condition set forth in Section 2.04(g) of the Stock Purchase Agreement, only the provisions of clause (ii) below shall apply): (i) ECP and DYN shall enter into a loan agreement, the specific terms of which shall include the ability of DYN to repay all or a portion of the loan at any time without penalty and shall otherwise be agreed by ECP and DYN, acting reasonably and in good faith, prior to the Closing, pursuant to which ECP shall loan DYN $150 million (the “ECP Loan”), which DYN shall use to fund the Buyer Subsidiary’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement or (ii) (a) ECP’s Commitment shall be increased by $150 million and DYN’s Commitment shall be decreased by $150 million, (b) each Sponsor’s Commitment Percentage shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in accordance with the $150 million increase or decrease contemplated by the foregoing clause (a), and (c) ECP shall be required to contribute such additional $150 million to the Buyer at the Closing, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the ECP Equity Commitment Letter; provided that, in each case in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), each of DYN and Terawatt shall continue to comply with its obligations set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (including effecting the PIPE Closing, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement), and provided further that if any of the conditions to the PIPE Closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement are not satisfied or the Stock Purchase Agreement is terminated, in either case due to a material breach of, or material default under, the Stock Purchase Agreement by DYN, ECP shall not be required to provide the ECP Loan, ECP’s Commitment shall not be increased pursuant to clause (ii)(a) above and ECP shall not be required to contribute the additional $150 million to the Buyer at the Closing pursuant to clause (ii)(c) above, unless ECP elects, in its sole discretion, to either provide the ECP Loan or contribute such additional $150 million to the Buyer.

2.15.2 In the event that the PIPE Closing occurs after the actions contemplated in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 2.15.1 have occurred, the Sponsors hereby agree that (a) ECP shall be deemed to have paid $150 million of DYN’s Commitment on DYN’s behalf, (b) such payment by ECP on DYN’s behalf shall be offset against, and shall be treated as satisfying, Terawatt’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) at the PIPE Closing, (c) in the case of clause (i) of Section 2.15.1, $150 million of the outstanding principal of the ECP Loan shall have been deemed repaid but any accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be paid to ECP in full by DYN, and (d) in the case of clause (ii) of Section 2.15.1, for purposes of determining the ownership of Units (as defined in the LLC Agreement Form) and the Capital Contributions (as defined in the LLC Agreement Form) of each Sponsor, the actions set forth in clauses (ii)(a) and (ii)(b) of Section 2.15.1 shall be deemed to have not occurred and DYN shall be deemed to have funded DYN’s Commitment as contemplated as of the date hereof (for the avoidance of doubt, at the price per Unit paid by the Sponsors at the Closing).
