1.3

Sale of Additional Preferred Units.

(a) Milestone Closings & Standby Fee.

(i) After the Initial Closing until August 8, 2025 (the “End Date”), within ten days following the delivery by the Company to Generate (as defined below) of an effective written notice (a “Company Notice”) that the Company has completed the milestones set forth on Exhibit D (the “Milestones”), the Company shall sell and issue to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall purchase from the Company up to an amount not to exceed the Milestone Amount (as defined below), that number of Series A Preferred Units (the “Milestone Units”) set forth in such Company Notice (each, a “Milestone Closing”) at the purchase price amount set forth in the Company Notice. The terms of and conditions precedent for each Milestone Closing shall be equivalent to those applicable to the Initial Closing (as set forth in this Agreement, except as such terms and conditions solely relate to the Initial Closing), including (but not limited to) the price per Purchased Unit and the conditions of such Purchaser’s obligation to consummate such Milestone Closing as contemplated by Article IV hereto. The Company may deliver a Company Notice not more than once during a calendar quarter during the period following the Initial Closing and ending on the End Date.

(ii) Whether each Milestone has been achieved shall be determined in good faith by (i) the Board (as defined below) other than the Preferred Manager and (ii) the Preferred Manager. If there is a dispute between the Board (other than the Preferred Manager) and the Preferred Manager as to whether a Milestone has been achieved, the parties shall, for a period of 15 days (the “Negotiation Period”), negotiate in good faith.

#157999182_v15 172422.00011

3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with such Purchaser in reliance upon such Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by such Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, such Purchaser hereby confirms that the Purchased Units to be acquired by such Purchaser will be acquired for investment for such Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Purchaser further represents that such Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Purchased Units. Such Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Purchased Units.

3.3 Disclosure of Information. Such Purchaser has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the Transactions. Such Purchaser has been furnished with, had an opportunity to discuss with the Company’s management or given adequate access to, such information regarding the business and finances of the Company and such other matters with respect to the Company as a reasonable person would request and consider in evaluating the Transactions. Such Purchaser understands that such discussions, as well as any information issued by the Company, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company’s business and prospects, but were not necessarily an exhaustive description. Such Purchaser believes that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Purchased Units. In making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, such Purchaser has (a) independently investigated the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ business operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations and financial condition, and (b) relied solely on the results of such investigation and the representations and warranties in Section 2 of this Agreement (as modified by the Disclosure Schedule). Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and each of their respective assets are being furnished “as is”, “where is” and, subject to only the representations and warranties contained in Section 2 (as modified by the Disclosure Schedule), in the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a part and the certificates delivered hereby and thereby, with all faults and without any other representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of such Purchaser to rely thereon. Nor does the foregoing limit the Purchaser’s reliance or right to rely on the Company’s representation that no representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules and no certificate furnished to the Purchasers at the Closing contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.

Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Units have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Units are“restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities Laws and that, pursuant to these Laws, such Purchaser must hold the Purchased Units indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Purchased Units for resale except as set forth in the Amended LLC Agreement. Such Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Purchased Units, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of such Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

3.5 No Public Market. Such Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Purchased Units, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Purchased Units.

If such Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the Laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Purchased Units or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Purchased Units, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Purchased Units. Such Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Purchased Units will not violate any applicable securities or other Laws of such Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

3.8 No General Solicitation. Neither such Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders, members or partners has either directly or indirectly, including, through a broker or finder (a) engaged in any general solicitation, or (b) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Purchased Units.

Such Purchaser represents that neither such Purchaser, nor any Person with whom such Purchaser shares beneficial ownership of the Company securities for purposes of Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act, is subject to any “bad actor” disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) of the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable.

Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the receipt nor the availability of any financing is a condition to such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement.

3.11 Legal Proceedings. There is currently no Action by or before any Governmental Authority pending or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, threatened against the Purchaser, that, individually or in the aggregate, questions the validity of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements or would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Purchaser’s ability to consummate the Transactions. Such Purchaser is not subject to any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on such Purchaser’s ability to consummate the Transactions.

3.12 Exculpation Among Purchasers. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any Person, other than the Company and its officers and managers, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Such Purchaser agrees that neither any Purchaser nor the respective Controlling Persons, officers, directors, partners, members, stockholders, agents, or employees of any Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Units.
