• Refinancing Term Loans (a) Lead Borrower may from time to time by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more additional Tranches of Term Loans under this Agreement (“Refinancing Term Loans”), which refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund all or any portion of one or more Tranches of Term Loans under this Agreement selected by Lead Borrower; provided, that such Refinancing Term Loans may not be in an amount greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans being refinanced, renewed, replaced, defeased or refunded plus unpaid accrued interest and premium (if any) thereon and upfront fees, original issue discount, underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses incurred in connection with the Refinancing Term Loans; provided that such aggregate principal amount may also be increased to the extent such additional amount is capable of being incurred at such time pursuant to Section 2.15 and such excess incurrence shall for all purposes hereof be an incurrence under the relevant subclauses of Section 2.15. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which Lead Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not less than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that: (i) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans being refinanced and the Refinancing Term Loans shall not have a final stated maturity (excluding for this purpose, interim loan financings that provide for automatic rollover, subject to customary conditions, to Indebtedness otherwise meeting the maturity requirements of this clause (i)) before the Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced; (ii) such Refinancing Term Loans shall have pricing (including interest rates, fees and premiums), amortization, optional prepayment, mandatory prepayment (so long as such Refinancing Term Loans are not entitled to participate on a greater than pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayment than the then outstanding Term Loans) and redemption terms as may be agreed to by the Borrowers and the relevant Refinancing Term Loan Lenders (as defined below); (iii) such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than Holdings, the Borrowers or a Subsidiary Guarantor; (iv) in the case of any such Refinancing Term Loans that are secured, such Refinancing Term Loans are secured only by assets comprising Collateral, and not secured by any property or assets of Lead Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral; (v) all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (except as set forth above), taken as a whole, shall not be materially more favorable to the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders, than the related provisions applicable to the existing Term Loans or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date as of the date such Indebtedness was incurred (provided that a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lead Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent in good faith at least five Business Days prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that Lead Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirement set out in this clause (v), shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy such requirement unless the Administrative Agent provides notice to Lead Borrower of an objection during such five Business Day period (including a reasonable description of the basis upon which it objects)). (b) The Borrowers may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be an Eligible Transferee of Term Loans to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Lender”); provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan. Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated a series (a “Refinancing Term Loan Series”) of Refinancing Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Term Loan Amendment and subject to the restrictions set forth in clause (a) above, be designated as an increase in any previously established Tranche of Term Loans. (c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by Section 2.18(a) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of interest, fees, amortization or premium in respect of the Refinancing Term Loans on the terms specified by Lead Borrower) and hereby waive the requirements of this Agreement or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any transaction contemplated by Section 2.18(a). The Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Amendment”) (which shall not require the consent of any other Lender) which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.18(a). Each Refinancing Term Loan Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties party thereto and the other parties hereto without the consent of any other Lender and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of Section 2.18 including such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith and to adjust the amortization schedule in Section 5.02(a) (insofar as such schedule relates to payments due to Lenders the Term Loans of which are refinanced with the proceeds of Refinancing Term Loans; provided that no such amendment shall reduce the pro rata share of any such payment that would have otherwise been payable to the Lenders, the Term Loans of which are not refinanced with the proceeds of Refinancing Term Loans). The Administrative Agent shall be permitted, and each is hereby authorized, to enter into such amendments with the Borrowers to effect the foregoing.

• 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. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that ECP contributes an additional $150 million to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.15.1, such contribution shall not constitute a Bridge Portion and shall instead be deemed an equity contribution by ECP to the Buyer under the ECP Equity Commitment Letter. 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).
