Closing Date (the “Effective Time”).
Section 2.04 Closing Deliveries. At the Closing:
(a) Sellers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser or

Section 2.05 Post-Closing Adjustment.
(a) As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within ninety

Working Capital Adjustment Amount, (iii) Closing Date Indebtedness Adjustment Amount and (iv) the Purchase Price, in each case, separately, with respect to each of CPV Power Holdings LP, CPVI and CPV REC and in accordance with the Accounting
Principles, together with reasonable supporting information. If Purchaser does not deliver the Closing Statement on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, then, at the election of Sellers, the Estimated Closing Date
Statement shall be deemed to be the Closing Statement. In the event that Purchaser fails to timely deliver the Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 2.05(a) and Sellers have not elected to deem the Estimated Closing Date
Statement as the Closing Statement, Sellers shall deliver written notice to Purchaser with respect to such failure and if Purchaser has not cured such failure within five (5) Business Days of receiving such written notice, then Sellers may, by
written notice delivered to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of the end of Purchaser’s cure period provided in this sentence (a “Sellers’ Election Notice”), elect to prepare and deliver the Closing Statement and the components thereof
to Purchaser, which shall be delivered to Purchaser within forty-five (45) days following delivery of the Sellers’ Election Notice. In the event that Sellers deliver a Sellers’ Election Notice, Sellers may retain a nationally recognized independent
accounting or financial consulting firm to prepare the Closing Statement and components thereof consistent with this Section 2.05(a); provided, however, that Sellers reserve any and all other rights granted to them in this
Agreement. In the event that Sellers deliver to Purchaser the Closing Statement as provided in this Section 2.05(a), Purchaser will be entitled to dispute any matter set forth in the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.05(b),
mutatis mutandis. The Parties shall provide to each other such data and information as such Parties may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and review of the Closing Statement.
(b) If Sellers object to any matter set forth in the Closing
Statement, then they shall provide Purchaser written notice thereof (an “Objection Notice”) within thirty (30) days after receiving the Closing Statement, specifying in reasonable detail Sellers’ determination of (i) the Closing Date Cash
Adjustment Amount, (ii) Closing Date Working Capital Adjustment Amount, (iii) Closing Date Indebtedness Adjustment Amount and (iv) the Purchase Price, in each case, separately with respect to each of CPV Power Holdings LP, CPVI and CPV REC; provided
that Sellers and Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed upon all items and amounts that are not disputed by Sellers in such written notice. If the Parties are unable to agree on any matter set forth on the Objection Notice disputed by Sellers in
accordance with this Section 2.05(b) within thirty (30) days after receipt by Purchaser of such Objection Notice, then either of the Parties may refer such dispute to Ernst & Young LLP, or if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve as
such, an independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Sellers (the “Independent Accountant”), which firm shall make a final and binding determination as to only those matters in dispute under this Section 2.05(b)
on a timely basis, and in any event within thirty (30) days following its appointment, and promptly shall notify the Parties in writing of its resolution. The Parties will cooperate with the Independent Accountant during the term of its engagement.
The Independent Accountant’s determination will be based solely on written presentations by Sellers and Purchaser, which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (not on the basis of an independent review).
The Independent Accountant shall not have the power to modify or amend any term or provision of this Agreement or modify previously agreed to items among the Parties. In resolving any matters in dispute, the Independent Accountant may not assign a
value to any item in dispute (i) greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Sellers in the Objection Notice or Purchaser in the Closing Statement, as applicable, or (ii) less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Seller in
the Objection Notice or Purchaser in the Closing Statement, as applicable. The determination of the Independent Accountant shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable upon which a judgment may be entered by a court

any matter set forth on the Closing Statement within the specified time period and in the manner set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.05(b), or if Seller accepts the Closing Statement and components thereof, including the
Purchase Price, in writing, then such Closing Statement and Purchase Price shall become final and binding upon the Parties for all purposes hereunder.
(c) If the Purchase Price with respect to any of CPV Power Holdings
LP, CPVI or CPV REC, as finally determined as provided in Section 2.05(b), exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price with respect to such applicable entity, then Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Seller an amount, in
cash, equal to the amount of such excess (if any) within two (2) Business Days after such amounts are determined pursuant to Section 2.05(b), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by
the applicable Seller (which amount shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price). If the Purchase Price with respect to any of CPV Power Holdings LP, CPVI and CPV REC, as finally determined as provided in Section 2.05(b), is less
than the Estimated Purchase Price with respect to such applicable entity, then the applicable Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Purchaser, an amount in cash equal to the amount of such deficit (if any) within two (2) Business Days after such
amounts are determined pursuant to Section 2.05(b), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account designated in writing by Purchaser.
(d) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall
constitute an adjustment to the applicable Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the Parties on their Tax Returns and in any communications with any Taxing Authorities to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.
Section 2.06 Withholding Taxes. Purchaser shall be entitled
to deduct and withhold from consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 2, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state,
local or foreign Tax law; provided, however, (a) that Purchaser shall provide Seller notice of its intent to withhold at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated consideration payment date and, in reasonable detail, the
authority, basis and method of calculation for the proposed deduction or withholding in order for Sellers to (i) obtain reduction of, or relief from, such deduction or withholding from the applicable Taxing Authority and/or (ii) execute and deliver
to, or file with, such Taxing Authority and/or Purchaser such affidavits, certificates and other documents as may reasonably be expected to afford to Sellers reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding, and (b) Purchaser shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Sellers and shall take any action reasonably requested by Sellers to eliminate, mitigate or reduce such deduction or withholding. If Purchaser made such deduction and withholding, such amounts shall
be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Sellers. Purchaser shall furnish to Sellers official receipts (or copies thereof), to the extent provided, evidencing the payment of any such Taxes.
Section 2.07 Other Post-Closing Payments.
(a) Purchaser hereby agrees that, promptly (and in any event within
five (5) Business Days) following the receipt by CPVI or any of its Affiliates after Closing of the $[***] fee [***] payable by [***] to CPVI or its Affiliates pursuant to [***], Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to GIP II CPV 2, as additional

with the Subscription Agreements that are payable on or prior to the date hereof. In no event shall the receipt by, or the availability of any funds or financing to, OPC Power Ventures or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any other financing be

neither Sellers nor any of their respective Affiliates, Representatives, agents or advisors has made any representation or warranty with respect to such projections and other forecasts and plans.
Section 5.13 Legal Impediments. To the Knowledge of
Purchaser, subject to receipt of the Purchaser’s Required Consents, there are no facts relating to Purchaser, any applicable Law or any Contract to which Purchaser is a party that would disqualify, prevent or materially impair Purchaser from

that relate to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date but that are required to be filed after the Closing Date and all Tax Returns in respect of the Acquired Companies that relate to a Straddle Period. If any such Tax Return prepared
by Purchaser is expected to result in a change to the Closing Date Working Capital Amount, Purchaser shall provide a copy of such Tax Return to Sellers at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return for
Sellers’ review and comment. Purchaser shall reflect any reasonable comments that Sellers submit to Purchaser no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of such Tax Returns.

For purposes of this Agreement, the portion of any Tax with respect to a Straddle Period that is allocable to the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date will be: (i) in the case of all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes
and similar ad valorem Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days of such Straddle Period in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the
denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, determined as though the taxable year of the relevant entity terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date.
(b) Cooperation. Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate fully,
and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any Tax contest or other proceeding with respect to such Tax Returns. Such
cooperation shall include the retention and (upon a Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax contest or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to
provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The requesting Party shall reimburse the cooperating Parties for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such cooperating Parties.
(c) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes arising out of, or in
connection with, the sale of the Transferred Interests shall be borne [***]. Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any such Transfer Taxes. Purchaser shall file,
and Sellers shall cooperate with the filing of, all Tax Returns required to be filed to report Transfer Taxes imposed on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) Transaction Tax Deductions. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that all Transaction Tax Deductions arising on or prior to the Closing Date have been or will be incurred before the Closing, and except as otherwise required by Law, the Parties agree to, and agree
to cause their respective Affiliates to, treat for all Tax purposes all such Transaction Tax Deductions as deductions allocable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods.
(e) Intended Tax Treatment. [***].

Entity that relates to income Taxes or Tax Returns of an Acquired Company for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (iii) enter into any voluntary disclosure with any Governmental Entity regarding any income Tax or Tax Returns of
an Acquired Company for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, or (iv) make any Tax election with respect to an Acquired Company that relates to, or is retroactive to, any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, in
each case, without the prior written consent of the applicable Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), if any such action would have the effect of increasing a Tax liability or decreasing a Tax asset of Sellers
(including by increasing a Tax liability or decreasing a Tax asset included in the calculation of Closing Date Working Capital Amount).
(i) Tax Proceedings. Purchaser agrees that in the event of
any Tax audit, investigation or other proceeding with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period that could result in a Tax liability or adjustment with respect to the Tax obligations of any Seller or its director or indirect owners (a “Pass-Through Tax
Proceeding”) Purchaser shall, and shall cause the applicable Acquired Partnership to, promptly notify Sellers of such Pass-Through Tax Proceeding. Purchaser agrees that Sellers shall have the right to control, to the extent within the power of
the Purchaser under the terms of the applicable limited liability company agreement, any such Pass-Through Tax Proceeding, and Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such proceeding, and Sellers shall not settle or compromise any such
Pass-Through Tax Proceeding without Purchaser’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Seller has given written notice to Purchaser of its obligation to disclose such information so that Purchaser may waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.04(a) or be given an opportunity to obtain an appropriate protective
order with respect to such disclosure, and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with obtaining such protective order; provided that, if in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver from Purchaser,
such Seller has been advised by legal counsel that it is required to disclose such information, such Seller may disclose such information, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.04, each such Seller and
its Affiliates may, without the prior consent of Purchaser, issue any non-public release or statement or otherwise disclose Confidential Information, including information with respect to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions

IN THE CASE OF ACTUAL AND INTENTIONAL FRAUD.
(c) Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser, for itself and its
Affiliates and their respective successors, assigns, executors, heirs, officers, directors, managers, partners and employees (each a “Releasor”), hereby irrevocably, knowingly and voluntarily releases, discharges and forever waives and
relinquishes all Claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, defenses, affirmative defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, actions and causes of action of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which any of the Releasors has, might have or might
assert now or in the future, against Sellers and any of their respective Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) and their respective successors, assigns, officers, directors, managers, partners and employees or any of their respective heirs or
executors (in each case in their capacity as such) (each, a “Releasee”), in each case, to the extent arising out of or resulting from the ownership and/or operation of the Acquired Companies or based upon or resulting from any Contract,
transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown, and which occurred, existed or was taken or permitted at or prior to the Closing in respect of the ownership and/or operation of the
Acquired Companies; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.02(c) shall release, waive, discharge, relinquish or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any Party to the extent arising out of this
Agreement (including the right to indemnification under Section 8.05) or the other Transaction Documents. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Claim or demand, or commencing,
instituting or causing to be commenced any legal proceeding, of any kind against a Releasee based upon any matter released pursuant to this Section 8.02(c).
Section 8.03 No Setoff. Except as set forth in Section
8.05, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees (on its behalf of itself and its Affiliates) that it and its Affiliates shall have no right hereunder or pursuant to applicable Law to, and shall not, offset any amounts due and owing (or that
becomes due and owing) pursuant to this Agreement to any other Party or such Party’s Affiliates against any amounts due and owing to such other Party or such other Party’s Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or any other Contract.
Section 8.04 No Recourse Against Non-Party Affiliates. Other
than pursuant to and to the extent provided in the Purchaser Parent Guarantee or Section 8.05, all Claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in equity or at Law, or granted by statute) that may be
based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents
(including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and are those solely of) the entities that are expressly identified as Parties hereto in the preamble to this
Agreement. Other than pursuant to and to the extent provided in the Purchaser Parent Guarantee, Seller Note, Pledge Agreement or Section 8.05, no Person who is not a Party, including any past, present or future Representative, incorporator,
member, partner, stockholder, officer, director, manager, employee or Affiliate of such Party or its Affiliates (collectively, “Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in equity or at Law, or granted
by statute) for any Claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or in its negotiation,
execution, performance, or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, each Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, Claims, obligations and causes of action against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, other than pursuant to and to the extent provided in the Purchaser Parent Guarantee, (a) each Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, Claims, demands, or
causes of action that may otherwise be available in equity or at Law, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Party or otherwise impose liability of a Party on any Non-Party Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on
theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise and (b) each Party disclaims any reliance upon any Non-Party Affiliates
with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.
Section 8.05 Indemnification for Fundamental Representations.
(a) From and after the Closing Date, Sellers, jointly and severally,
agree to indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates, and each of their respective managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Purchaser Entities”), and to hold each of
them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, paid or incurred by any such Indemnified Purchaser Entity (whether directly, pursuant to a Claim by a third party or otherwise) arising out of or related to any breach of any of the Seller
Fundamental Representations. Any payment required to be made by Sellers pursuant to this Section 8.05(a) shall be paid solely by offset against any amounts due and owing under the Seller Note, which shall be the sole source of recovery for
the Indemnified Purchaser Entities for payments from Sellers pursuant to this Section 8.05(a).
(b) For purposes of this Section 8.05, whether any
representation or warranty has been breached, and the determination and calculation of any Losses resulting from such breach, shall be determined without giving effect to any qualification as to “materiality” (including the words “material” or
“material adverse effect”).
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in
the event of any claim for indemnification under Section 8.05(a), Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to recover any Losses under the R&W Insurance Policy to the extent such Loss is recoverable thereunder before prosecuting any
such claim against Sellers.
(d) No claim for indemnification under Section 8.05(a) shall
be made or have any validity unless the Indemnified Purchaser Entities shall have given written notice of such claim to Sellers prior to the date set forth in Section 8.01 for the applicable Seller Fundamental Representation to expire, which
notice shall contain a good faith summary of such facts and information as are then reasonably available, including a good faith non-binding estimate of the amount of Losses (to the extent estimable) and the specific basis for indemnification
hereunder to the extent known.
(e) Any payment made pursuant to or in connection with this Section
8.05 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
ARTICLE 9
SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS
Section 9.01 Replacement of Support Obligations.
(a) Following the date hereof, Purchaser shall use its reasonable
best efforts, including offering replacement guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds, to ensure that effective as of the Closing Date, Sellers and their respective Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies and the JV Entities) are fully
and unconditionally released from one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of, and all obligations and liabilities relating to, arising under or out of, or in connection with the guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds listed in Section
9.01(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Support Obligations”). In each case such release shall be evidenced (i) with respect to any letter of credit, by Sellers’ receipt at or prior to the Closing of the original
letter of credit, and (ii) with respect to any cash collateral, by Sellers’ receipt at Closing of an amount in cash equal to such cash collateral (to the extent such amount is not otherwise included in the Closing Date Cash Amount, in which case
Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 9.01 in respect of such cash collateral Support Obligation shall be deemed satisfied). Purchaser shall provide (or cause to be provided) at or prior to Closing replacement guarantees, letters of
credit or cash collateral, as applicable, to the beneficiaries thereof for one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of, and all obligations and liabilities relating to, such Support Obligations, in each case in form and substances acceptable to the
beneficiary thereof. In the event that following the date hereof, any Seller or its Affiliate (other than the Acquired Companies) provides, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices or in connection with any Permitted
Financing, any guaranty, letter of credit, surety bond or other credit assurances of a comparable nature for the benefit of the Acquired Companies or the JV Entities not listed as Support Obligations in Section 9.01(a) of Seller Disclosure
Schedule as of the date hereof (each, an “Additional Support Obligation”), Sellers shall promptly provide Purchaser with notice thereof, together with reasonable supporting documentation, and, upon the written consent of Purchasers (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), such Additional Support Obligations shall be deemed Support Obligations for all purposes hereunder.
(b) To the extent Sellers and their respective Affiliates (other than
the Acquired Companies and the JV Entities) are not fully and unconditionally released from one hundred percent (100%) of any Support Obligations as of the Closing Date (any such Support Obligations being referred to herein as an “Outstanding
Support Obligation”), Purchaser shall indemnify Sellers and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, for all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by Sellers and their respective Affiliates after the Closing Date in respect of such
Outstanding Support Obligations, including any amounts drawn or called in respect of such Outstanding Support Obligations. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts, including offering replacement guarantees, letters of
credit and surety bonds, to ensure that as soon as practicable thereafter, Sellers and their respective Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies and the JV Entities) are fully and unconditionally released from one hundred percent (100%) of the
amount of, and all obligations and liabilities relating to, arising under or out of, or in connection any Outstanding Support Obligations. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees that if the Outstanding Support
Obligation in respect of the letter of credit issued by [***] is still outstanding, Purchaser will cause the Acquired Companies to terminate, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, the interconnection Contract giving rise to such Outstanding Support
Obligation and cause the original of such letter of credit to be returned to Sellers not later than the six (6)-month anniversary of the Closing Date.
Section 9.02 Purchaser Backstop Credit Support. Without
limiting Purchaser’s obligations under Section 9.01(a), at the Closing, Purchaser shall provide to Sellers (and shall maintain for so long as any Outstanding Support Obligations remain outstanding) a letter of credit issued by a U.S.
commercial bank (or the U.S. branch of a foreign commercial bank) that has a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A-” or higher by Standard and Poor’s Corporation and “A3” or higher by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc., which letter of credit shall be
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Sellers (including a provision that allows the beneficiary thereof to draw the full amount of such letter of credit within thirty (30) days prior to expiration thereof if such letter of credit has not
been extended or renewed by such date) in an amount at all times equal to or greater than the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Support Obligations.
ARTICLE 10
TERMINATION
Section 10.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated
at any time prior to the Closing Date:
(a) by mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Sellers;
(b) by either Purchaser or Sellers by giving written notice to the
other Parties if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to April 7, 2021 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the Outside Date may be extended by either Purchaser or Sellers, by written notice to the other
Parties, to the date that is sixty (60) days after the Outside Date (the “Extended Outside Date”) in the event that all conditions to the Closing set forth in Article 7 (other than Section 7.01(a) through Section 7.01(c)
(the “Regulatory Conditions”)) have been or are reasonably capable of being satisfied at the time of such extension and the Regulatory Conditions are reasonably capable of being satisfied on or prior to the Extended Outside Date; provided,
that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.01(b) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur
on or before such date;
(c) by either Purchaser or Sellers by giving written notice to the
other Parties if any Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall not be subject to appeal or shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.01(c) shall not be available to any
Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, such order, decree, ruling or other action;
(d) by Purchaser by giving written notice to Sellers if there has
been a breach by any Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of a Seller contained in this Agreement and such breach (i) would result in the failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 7.01
or Section 7.02 and (ii) if such breach is capable of being cured, is not cured by Sellers within thirty (30) days of their receipt of such written notice from Purchaser; provided, that Purchaser shall not be permitted to terminate
this Agreement if Purchaser or Purchaser GP is then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained herein and such breach would result in the failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions to the
Closing set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.03;
(e) by Sellers by giving written notice to Purchaser if there has
been a breach by Purchaser or Purchaser GP of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of Purchaser or Purchaser GP contained in this Agreement and such breach (i) would result in the failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions
to the Closing set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.03 and (ii) if such breach is capable of being cured, is not cured by Purchaser within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such written notice from Sellers; provided, that
Sellers shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement if Sellers are then in breach of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained herein and such breach would result in the failure to satisfy one
or more of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02; or
(f) by Sellers if (i) all the conditions set forth in Section 7.01
and Section 7.02 have been satisfied (and continue to be satisfied) or irrevocably waived (other than any such conditions which by their terms are not capable of being satisfied until the Closing Date) and (ii) Purchaser does not consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby within two (2) Business Days of the day the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.03.
Section 10.02 Effect of Termination.
(a) If this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 10.01,
subject to Section 10.02(d), such termination shall be without liability of any Party to any other Party, except liability of any Party to the other Parties for any intentional and willful breach of this Agreement or actual and intentional
fraud occurring prior to such termination.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated by any Party pursuant to Section 10.01,
written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Parties and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated, without further action by any Party; provided, that Purchaser, at its option, shall, and shall cause
its Affiliates and Representatives to, promptly either (i) return to Sellers or (ii) destroy (and deliver a certificate to Sellers confirming such destruction) all documents and other material received from Sellers, their respective Affiliates or
their respective Representatives or other advisors relating to this Agreement, the Acquired Companies, the JV Entities and transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether so obtained before or after the execution of this Agreement [***] and
continue to treat all Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination hereof.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated, this Agreement shall become null
and void and of no further force and effect, except for the following provisions which shall survive such termination: Section 6.04 (Confidentiality; Publicity), Section 6.06 (Expenses), Section 6.11(c) (IFRS Financial Statements; Cooperation), Section 10.01 (Termination), this Section 10.02
(Effect of Termination) and Article 11 (Miscellaneous).
(d) If this Agreement is terminated by (x) Sellers pursuant to Section 10.01(e)
or Section 10.01(f), or (y) Sellers or Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.01(b) and, at the time, Sellers could have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(e), then Purchaser shall pay to Sellers, by wire transfer
of cash in immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days following the date of termination, the amount of $[***] (the “Purchaser Termination Fee”). Until such time as this Agreement is actually terminated in the circumstances
provided in the first sentence of this Section 10.02(d) and Purchaser pays the Purchaser Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 10.02(d), nothing in this Section 10.02(d) shall prohibit Sellers from their right to
seek specific performance pursuant to, and on the terms and conditions set forth in, Section 11.08; provided, that Sellers shall not be entitled under any circumstances to obtain both (i) a recovery of monetary damages in the form of
the Purchaser Termination Fee plus amounts due pursuant to Section 10.02(e) and any other amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.11(c), and (ii) specific performance of the consummation of the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon termination of this Agreement in the circumstances provided in the first sentence of this Section 10.02(d), Sellers’ right to receive the Purchaser Termination Fee (plus amounts
due pursuant to Section 10.02(e) and any other amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.11(c)) from Purchaser (or Purchaser Guarantor under the Purchaser Parent Guarantee) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Sellers and their
respective Affiliates against Purchaser and its Affiliates for any losses, liabilities, damages, obligations, payments, costs and expenses suffered as a result of the failure of Closing of this Agreement to be consummated, and upon payment of such
amount, neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall have any further rights, liability, or obligations arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties agree that (1) damages suffered by Sellers, the
Acquired Companies and the JV Entities in the event this Agreement pursuant is terminated in the circumstances provided in the first sentence of this Section 10.02(d) are incapable or very difficult to accurately estimate and (2) the
Purchaser Termination Fee is a reasonable forecast of just compensation for such termination. The Parties acknowledge that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 10.02(d) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement; and (ii) the Purchaser Termination Fee payable to Sellers by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 10.02(d) is not a penalty, but is liquidated
damages in an amount that shall compensate Sellers for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance upon this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein, and for the loss suffered by reason of the failure of such consummation, which amount would otherwise be uncertain and incapable of accurate determination. The Parties further agree that, if applicable, the
Purchaser Termination Fee (and any amounts due pursuant to Section 10.02(e)) shall be allocated among Sellers in the same percentages that the Purchase Price would have otherwise been allocated pursuant to Section 2.02(d) if the
Closing occurred, as reasonably determined by Sellers.
(e) If Purchaser fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to Section 10.02(d),
it shall also pay, together with the Purchaser Termination Fee, any costs and expenses incurred by Sellers and their Affiliates in connection with enforcing this Agreement, together with interest on such unpaid amount, at a rate per annum, compounded
on a daily basis, equal to seven percent (7%) from (and including) the date such amount was required to be paid up to (but excluding) the payment date.

shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any

or written attestations and certifications, and other assistance in connection with transition matters and any inquiries or proceedings involving the Acquired Companies or the JV Entities, but excluding any proceedings arising from disputes among the
Parties. Each such requesting Party shall reimburse such cooperating Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) paid or incurred by such cooperating Party as a result of any such requested cooperation.

be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by Purchaser and Sellers. Each Party may, by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party, waive compliance by any other Party with any term or provision of this Agreement that such
other Party was or is obligated to comply with or perform. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.
Section 11.05 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

Section 11.07 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York (or any appellate court therefrom) for the purposes of any suit, action or other
proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Parties hereto further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. certified mail to such Party’s respective address set forth

been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section 11.08 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that
irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms and that any remedy at Law for
any breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party 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, as applicable. Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing sentence, it is explicitly agreed that the right of Sellers to seek specific performance or other equitable remedies to

funding obligation under the limited partnership agreement of Purchaser and the Power Ventures Subscription Agreement), (ii) to, or to cause OPC Power Ventures to, enforce Purchaser Guarantor’s funding obligation under the limited partnership
agreement of OPC Power Ventures and the Investor Subscription Agreement of Purchaser Guarantor and (iii) to cause OPC Power Ventures and Purchaser GP, as its general partner, to enforce the funding obligations of the counterparties to each of the
other Investor Subscription Agreements under the limited partnership agreement of OPC Power Ventures and such other Investor Subscription Agreements, in the case of clauses (i) through (iii), for purposes of funding the sale and purchase of the
Transferred Interests in accordance with this Agreement) shall be subject to the requirements that all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 were satisfied (other than those conditions that by their
terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at Closing) at the time when the Closing would have been required to occur but for the failure of the Purchase Price to be paid. In furtherance, and not in limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser and
Purchaser GP hereby agree to (I) deliver to Sellers the form of capital call notice to be delivered (A) by Purchaser GP on behalf of Purchaser to OPC Power Ventures and (B) by Purchaser GP on behalf of OPC Power Ventures to each of the Investors, in
the case of clauses (A) and (B), not less than eight (8) Business Days (as defined in the limited partnership agreement of OPC Power Ventures) prior to the earlier to occur of (x) the date reasonably anticipated by Purchaser GP to be the Closing Date
and (y) the date that the capital contributions contemplated by such capital call notices are due under the Organizational Documents of Purchaser and OPC Power Ventures and to deliver such capital call notices to OPC Power Ventures and to the
Investors, as applicable, at such times as reasonably required under the Organizational Documents of Purchaser and OPC Power Ventures to permit the Closing to occur when required pursuant to Section 2.03 and otherwise in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. The capital call notices referenced in the immediately preceding sentence shall be in an aggregate amount sufficient to permit Purchaser to pay the Purchase Price to Sellers at the Closing and otherwise in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to Sellers. Purchaser and Purchaser GP further agree that they not make, or cause or permit to be made, amendments to the Organizational Documents of Purchaser or OPC Power Ventures prior to Closing without the
prior written consent of Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Party agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable relief on any basis,
including the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of an injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. The Parties acknowledge
and agree that any Party seeking (a) an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement, (b) to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or (c) other equitable relief shall not be required to provide any bond or other security
in connection with any such remedy.
Section 11.09 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of
the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by (a) Purchaser or Purchaser GP without the prior written consent of Sellers or (b) any Seller without the prior written consent of Purchaser; provided, that any Seller may assign its
right to receive any payments under Section 2.07 to an Affiliate without the consent of Purchaser. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 11.09 shall be null and void, ab initio.
Section 11.10 Headings. The headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 11.11 Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules referred to herein are intended to be and hereby are made a part of this Agreement. Any disclosure in the Seller Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule with

retained Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP (“Sellers’ Counsel”) to act as its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that Sellers’ Counsel has not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the transactions

or JV Entity in a matter substantially related to such dispute prior to Closing.

Sellers or such Affiliate (including the Acquired Companies) or by such JV Entity, as applicable. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks
of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Sellers’ Counsel.
