REIMBURSEMENT AND PAYMENT

Section 4.01 Reimbursable Expenses. (a)(i) The annual administration fee owed by the Company to the Administrator for the Services shall be an amount equal to $[***] per each kW of Baseload Capacity with respect to a Bloom System as of the date such Bloom System has achieved Commencement of Operations, and (ii) the annual administration fee owed by the Project Company to the Administrator for the Services shall be an amount equal to $[***] per each kW of Baseload Capacity with respect to a Bloom System as of the date such Bloom System has achieved Commencement of Operations (such administration fees, together, the “Administration Fee”), due in equal monthly installments (pro-rated, if applicable, for the first month after the execution of this Agreement) and in each case increasing by [***] on the first and each subsequent anniversary of the date of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the Administration Fee is a fair price, negotiated at arms-length, for the Services.

(b) In connection with matters within the Annual Budget, and matters outside of the parameters of the Annual Budget but authorized pursuant to this Section 4.01, the Company will reimburse the Administrator from the Company’s funds for the following expenses (other than any such expenses that constitute Excluded Expenses): (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Administrator’s personnel performing work in the capacity as Administrator, (ii) all Emergency Expenditures and (iii) reasonable expenses of unaffiliated third parties (other than any such Persons performing Nonreimbursable Services) which, for the convenience of the Company or the Project Company, perform services by contract with the Administrator rather than directly with the Company or the Project Company, as applicable, provided that the Members have consented to such arrangement. For purposes of this Section 4.01(b), (x) “Excluded Expenses” shall mean costs incurred by Administrator in employing its personnel (other than amounts payable to its personnel as described in clause (i) above), including costs associated with wages, benefits, workers’ compensation insurance and home office expenses and costs incurred to retain unaffiliated third parties to perform Nonreimbursable Services, and (y) an “Emergency Expenditure” shall mean an expense with respect to the Company, the Project Company or the Portfolio that is not included in the Annual Budget and which is incurred, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator, to avoid or to mitigate a risk of physical injury to any Person or damage to any property, or a violation of law and with respect to which there is not a reasonable opportunity to convene a meeting of the Members in order to obtain prior approval of the expense. The Administrator shall give prompt written notice to the Members of any Emergency Expenditure. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent an obligation of the Administrator is expressly to be performed at the sole expense of the Company or the Project Company, is not in violation of the express terms of this Agreement, and is not a Nonreimbursable Service, the Administrator shall be reimbursed by the Company or the Project Company, as applicable, for any amount (other than Excluded Expenses) expended from its own funds to perform such obligations.

(c) If the Administrator engages any third party to perform any Nonreimbursable Services, it shall be responsible for paying any fees and expenses of such third party and shall not be able to seek reimbursement therefor; provided that the Administrator shall not be responsible for paying any fees and expenses of such third party from its own funds (and shall be able to seek reimbursement therefor) if directed by the Members, the Managing Member or the Sole Member, or if otherwise required under the Investment Documents or Principal Facility Documents, to engage any third party to perform any Nonreimbursable Services.

(d) The Administrator shall obtain the Managing Member’s prior written approval before incurring any expenses that collectively exceed the aggregate expense amount provided in the Annual Budget by 10% in any Calendar Year; provided, however, that consent shall not be required (i) as to any Emergency Expenditure, or (ii) for reimbursement of the Administrator for any reasonable expense of an unaffiliated third party (other than a third party providing Nonreimbursable Services) that, for the convenience of the Company or the Project Company, performs services by contract with the Administrator rather than directly with the Company or the Project Company, as applicable, provided that the Members have consented to such arrangement.

Section 4.02 Billing and Payment. Within fifteen (15) days following the Administrator’s submission of an invoice to the Managing Member reflecting (i) any expenses due and payable by the Company or the Project Company (and including invoices and other material identifying and substantiating, in reasonable detail, the nature of such expenses and the basis for reimbursement thereof), and (ii) the monthly portion of the Administrative Fee due and payable by the Company or the Project Company, as applicable, (and including invoices and other material identifying and substantiating, in reasonable detail, the nature of such costs and the basis for reimbursements):

(a) The Managing Member or, as applicable, the Sole Member, shall approve such payment to the Administrator of (i) the expenses, and (ii) the portion of the Administrative Fee specified in such invoice, less any portion of such expenses and Administrative Fee that is disputed in good faith by a Member; provided that any invoiced amount incurred in accordance with the Annual Budget shall be deemed approved and shall be paid unless the Managing Member or Member, as applicable, shall dispute in good faith such payment for reasons unrelated to the Annual Budget; and

(b) The parties shall attempt to resolve any such disputed portion in accordance with Article VI hereof and any amount owed hereunder which remains unpaid more than ten (10) days after the date such amount is due and payable under this Agreement shall accrue interest at the lesser of a monthly rate of one and five-tenths percent (1.5%) or the highest rate permissible by law, with such interest beginning to accrue from the first (1st) day after such amount became due and payable.

Section 4.03 Records. The Administrator shall retain copies of invoices submitted by it under Section 4.02, and of any third party invoices or similar documentation contained or reflected therein, for a minimum period of three (3) years or such longer period as required by applicable law. Records maintained by the Administrator pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be the property of the Company or the Project Company, as applicable, and shall not be destroyed, unless the Company or the Project Company, as applicable, shall have consented to such destruction in writing or declined in writing to accept possession of the records after the Administrator has advised the Company or the Project Company, as applicable, that the records will be destroyed.

(b) To the extent not otherwise covered by insurance and to the extent not prohibited by law, subject to the specific limitations of liability set forth in this Article IX, the Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Project Company, its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from and against all Losses resulting from or arising out of the Administrator’s performance of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Company or the Project Company shall not have the right to be so indemnified for Losses to the extent caused by or arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company or the Project Company, or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, and employees, if any, or a breach of the Company’s or the Project Company’s obligations under this Agreement (for the purposes of this Section 9.01(b), the Administrator shall not be deemed to be an “Affiliate” of the Company).
