WHEREAS, the hereinafter described Premises lie within the Campus. Landlord and Tenant believe that the Premises will provide an ideal site for the establishment by Tenant of a facility for the development and manufacture of Bloom Energy Servers, including the development and application of ancillary technology, and, for that purpose, Landlord has agreed to lease the Premises to Tenant under the favorable economic terms as more fully appear below; and

WHEREAS, Tenant has advised Landlord and the State of Delaware that several of Tenant’s vendor/partners may wish to colocate with Tenant. In order to encourage further job growth and further collaboration between the University and firms engaged in emerging energy technology, the Premises includes lands upon which vendor/partner facilities might be established.

The parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. DEMISE OF PREMISES.

(e) Within fourteen (14) days after Tenant’s receipt of the determination of the Base Rent from either the two (2) Appraisers or the third Appraiser, as the case may be, Tenant shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the Extension Option if Tenant, in its sole discretion, is not in agreement with the Base Rent as determined by such Appraisers.

(f) Landlord shall bear the fee and expenses of its Appraiser; Tenant shall bear the fee and expenses of its Appraiser; and Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the fee and expenses of the third Appraiser, if one is required.

(d) The foregoing notwithstanding, the following shall apply as to the timing of the “Landscaping”: Following the completion of the initial Improvements to the Premises by Tenant, subject to seasonal considerations, Landlord promptly and diligently shall install (but shall not be responsible for the maintenance or replacement thereof) on the Premises, at its sole cost and expense, a line of trees or other type of landscaping along the rear Premises line behind the buildings initially constructed thereon by Tenant, in order to provide at the maturity of such trees or other type of landscaping a reasonable visual barrier from the remainder of the Site. Tenant agrees to provide access to the Premises to Landlord and its landscape contractor at appropriate times for the purpose of installing such landscaping.

(e) Landlord covenants with Tenant that during the completion of Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Tenant’s construction of the Improvements. Tenant covenants with Landlord that during the completion of the Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Landlord’s completion of the Landlord’s Work.

4.2 Improvements.

(a) Tenant shall construct all Improvements in accordance with Laws applicable to the Premises and substantially in accordance with Tenant’s Preliminary Plans. Attached hereto as Exhibit “C” are conceptual plans and preliminary exterior plans showing the general design of the building(s) to be erected, the exterior footprint of the Improvements to be


		- 12 -

constructed on the Premises and the general layout of the Premises in terms of access roads, parking and landscaping (“Tenant’s Preliminary Plans”). The parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord intends to develop the Site as a first-class office, science and technology campus, and that the aesthetics of the Improvements and overall design of the Premises have a material effect on Landlord’s goals and plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no obligation to construct the Improvements in accordance with Tenant’s Preliminary Plans and may alter, increase or reduce the scope of any planned Improvements, whether or not depicted on the Tenant’s Preliminary Plans; provided, however, that the Improvements shall at all times be consistent with a first-class office, science and technology campus.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease, at Landlord’s sole discretion, in the event that either (a) Tenant fails to commence construction of the Improvements within six (6) months of the completion of the Phase 1 Landlord’s Work, or (b) following such commencement of construction, such construction is not completed (to be evidenced by a permanent certificate of occupancy having been issued for the Improvements) on or before the date that is twenty-four (24) months from the date of commencement of construction; provided, however, that each of the foregoing time periods shall be automatically extended due to delays caused by force majeure. The parties agree to confirm in writing the date of completion of the Phase I Landlord Work and the commencement of construction of the Improvements. Landlord may exercise the foregoing termination right, if at all, by giving written notice of such termination to Tenant within ten (10) days following the expiration of the applicable time period and thereupon this Lease shall terminate on the date thereof, as though such date were the date set forth in this Lease for the expiration of the Term. Failure of Landlord to provide such written termination notice within said ten (10) day time period shall cause such termination right to be null and void.

(c) Where possible, Landlord shall permit Tenant to deposit any excess waste, soil or other materials generated from any excavations, grading and utility installations in connection with the construction of the Improvements in a location within the Site designated by Landlord, and in a manner as directed by Landlord so as to stabilize the same and consistent with Landlord’s intended development of the Site.

(d) Road Work.

(i) Road #2. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain approval from DelDOT to relocate the curb cut and roadway associated with Road #2 in a westerly direction to the approximate location shown on Exhibit F. In the event such relocation is approved by DelDOT, the parties shall negotiate in good faith toward an agreement regarding the sharing of costs associated with such relocation. Until any such relocation, the portion of Road #2 lying within the Premises shall be available for use by Landlord, its assignees, tenants, agents and invitees. This portion of Road #2 lying within the Premises shall be treated as a Common Area and Facility for purposes of maintenance responsibility and cost sharing. Tenant may relocate the portion of Road #2 lying within the Premises to another location within the Premises, but the same may not be relocated such as to materially interfere with Landlord’s, its assignees’, tenants’, agents’ and invitees’ use thereof as a Common Area and Facility.


		- 13 -

(ii) Road #1. Landlord shall improve and extend Road #1 along the easterly and northerly sides of the Premises, as shown in the shaded area of Exhibit “F”, attached hereto, and Landlord shall pay all costs associated with such road extension, except that Tenant shall be responsible for $195,000.00 of such costs. Tenant shall enjoy access to Road #1 at all times following its completion. The Road Work for Road #1 shall be completed on a date which is no later than the date on which Tenant receives a Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Newark. Landlord shall obtain all road Permits at its sole cost and expense.

4.3 Alterations. With Landlord’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to reconfigure, make changes, additions or alterations, structural or otherwise, to the Improvements during the Term, including, without limitation, buildings for Tenant’s Vendor/Partners (the “Alterations”); provided, however, interior changes, additions or alterations do not require Landlord’s consent. During the Term, the Improvements including, without limitation, all additions, alterations and improvements thereto or replacements thereof and all appurtenant fixtures, machinery and equipment installed therein shall be the property of Tenant. Any and all Improvements upon the Site at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, then become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered at that time in their vacant, “broom clean” condition, casualty and condemnation excepted. Furthermore, in no event shall Tenant be liable to Landlord for any diminution in value of any portion of the Premises or of the Site that may result from Tenant’s Alterations or the Improvements.

4.4 Liens.

(a) Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising from any labor performed by or on behalf of, or materials furnished to, Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant may dispute any such lien so long as Tenant either causes such lien to be bonded within sixty (60) days or otherwise provides adequate assurance or creates an adequate reserve for the disputed portion of such lien. If any such lien attaches, and the same is not discharged of record or bonded off within sixty (60) days after Landlord notifies Tenant thereof, then Landlord shall have the option to discharge the same and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for reasonable, direct costs associated with the removal of any such lien within five (5) business days of demand therefor as Additional Rent.

(b) Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, to or for the furnishing of any labor, services or materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Premises or Improvements, or any part thereof. Notice is hereby given that Landlord will not be liable for any labor, services or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant, or to anyone holding the Premises or the Improvements or any part thereof through or under Tenant, and that no mechanic’s or other lien for any such labor, services or materials shall attach to or affect the interest of Landlord in and to the Premises or Site.


		- 14 -

4.5 The right of plan approval and disapproval reserved to Landlord in this Section 4 shall be exercisable by, and inure solely to the benefit of, Landlord and its successors in interest hereunder. In no event shall anything contained in this Section 4 be construed as conferring upon any person other than Landlord and its successors in interest hereunder any right to approve or disapprove the construction, erection, substitution, replacement or maintenance of any Improvements hereafter located upon the Premises. Landlord’s review of any plans shall be/was solely for Landlord’s benefit and may not be relied upon in any manner by Tenant or any third party, and Landlord shall not be deemed to have warranted or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or the effectiveness thereof, and such approval shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation by Landlord with respect thereto.

5. RENT.

5.1 Upon the full execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent for the Initial Term. Commencing on the first day of the first Extension Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord the annual Base Rent, as determined in accordance with Section 2.3 above, in equal monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month in advance and without prior notice or demand. All Rent shall be payable to Landlord at its offices set forth in the Schedule of Terms, or to such other address as Landlord may so notify Tenant from time to time.

5.2 If Tenant shall fail to pay any Additional Rent when the same shall become due, following the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord shall have all rights, powers and remedies with respect thereto as are provided herein or by law in the case of non-payment of Base Rent and shall, except as expressly provided herein, have the right to pay the same on behalf of Tenant. All payments of Base Rent and Additional Rent not timely paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after the applicable notice and cure periods shall bear interest at a rate five (5) percentage points above the rate published as the prime rate in the Money Rates column of the Wall Street Journal, from time to time, prevailing as of the date(s) on which such payment(s) became due, from the date(s) on which such payment(s) became due, until paid. Tenant shall perform all of its obligations under this Lease at its sole cost and expense, and shall pay all Base Rent and Additional Rent when due, without notice or demand.

6. TAXES.

6.1 Payment of Taxes. Commencing on the Effective Date, unless paid directly by Tenant to any Governmental Authority, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of Taxes during the Term. Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of such Taxes on an annual basis within thirty (30) days after the date that Tenant receives from Landlord an invoice for such Taxes for the tax year(s) in question issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority; subject, however, to Tenant’s right of contest as hereafter set forth, and, provided further, Tenant shall not be responsible for any late fees, charges, penalties or interest due to Landlord’s delinquency or delay in payment of such Taxes. If any such invoice shall cover any period of time prior to the Effective Date or after the expiration of the Term, Tenant’s payment shall be appropriately prorated. Other than the payment of one hundred percent (100%) of Taxes, Tenant shall not be required to pay any other tax, levy, assessment or charge assessed against Landlord, including levies on rent and any gift, estate or inheritance tax. Landlord shall


		- 15 -

deliver evidence, reasonably acceptable to Tenant, that such Taxes have been paid in full within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s payment to Landlord thereof. Landlord also shall deliver to Tenant copies of all notices relating to the imposition of new Taxes, or the increase in real estate tax rates or assessments, at least twenty (20) days prior to any deadline for the filing of a contest to such imposition or increase as a matter of right so that Tenant may have ample time to contest the same.

6.2 Contesting Taxes. Tenant shall have the privilege, before delinquency occurs, of contesting the legality or amount of any such Taxes levied against the Premises in the name of Tenant, or, with Landlord’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, both Landlord and Tenant. If Tenant, in good faith, believes such Taxes to be illegal or excessive, then Tenant may defer payment thereof as long as Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall diligently and in good faith contest the existence, amount or validity thereof by appropriate proceeding, provided such contest shall not subject Landlord to the risk of any civil or criminal liability; provided, however, that if payment of the whole or any part thereof becomes necessary to prevent the forfeiture of title to or a sale of the Premises, or to prevent eviction of either Landlord or Tenant because of non-payment thereof, Tenant shall pay the same to prevent such forfeiture, sale or eviction. Any such contest, in the first instance, shall be at the cost and expense of Tenant. Each refund of such Taxes so contested shall be paid to Landlord, but Landlord shall promptly remit to Tenant, upon receipt of such refund, all costs and expenses of such contest advanced by Tenant before retention or distribution, as the case may be, of the balance of such refund. Thereafter, Landlord shall promptly remit the balance of such refund to Tenant if Tenant has paid such Taxes. If Landlord receives a reimbursement, refund, credit or other retroactive adjustment of Taxes after Tenant has paid the same, Landlord shall promptly remit to Tenant upon receipt, such reimbursement, refund, credit or other retroactive adjustment, which payment obligation shall survive the Expiration Date of this Lease. The foregoing right of contest shall equally extend to any right to apply for or to request an abatement, deferral or reduction of Taxes relating to or arising from the completion or installation of any alterations or improvements to the Premises.

6.3 Determination of Taxes. If the Premises is taxed as part of either a larger tract of the entire Site, Landlord agrees to use its best efforts to have the Premises designated as a separate parcel for taxing purposes so that the assessed valuation of the land and buildings shall relate only to the land constituting the Premises and the Improvements. If the Premises is taxed as a portion of a larger tract or the entire Site and Landlord is unable to have the Premises designated as a separate parcel for taxing purposes, so that taxes are assessed upon the larger tract of which the Premises is a portion, Tenant agrees to pay that portion of the Taxes that is reasonably attributable to the Premises and the Improvements, determined as follows:

(a) If Taxes are identified or apportioned by the taxing authorities or are identifiable or apportionable based on valuation or other information furnished by the taxing authority so that the portion of the Taxes attributable to the value of the land can be distinguished from the portion of the Taxes attributable to the value of the buildings, then as to that portion of the Taxes attributable to the value of the land, Tenant will pay a percentage of such portion of the Taxes determined by dividing the area of the Premises by the total area of the larger tract or the entire Site, and as to the portion of the Taxes attributable to the value of the buildings, Tenant will pay a percentage of such portion of the Taxes determined by dividing the gross floor area of the Improvements by the gross floor area of all buildings located on the larger tract or the Site.


		- 16 -

(b) If Taxes are not identified or apportioned by the taxing authority and are not identifiable or apportionable based on valuation or other information furnished by the taxing authority so that the portion of the Taxes attributable to the value of the land cannot be distinguished from the portion of the Taxes attributable to the value of the buildings, then as to all Taxes, Tenant will pay a percentage of the Taxes determined by dividing the area of the Premises by the total area of the larger tract or the Site, or by some other method reasonably agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant.

(c) Unless the Premises is taxed on its own, based on its own tax parcel number, in which case only the tax bills need be provided to Tenant, Landlord’s invoice for Taxes shall set forth (A) the total Taxes on the larger tract accompanied by a copy of the tax xxxx; (B) whether the total Taxes on the larger tract are identifiable or apportionable between land and buildings and if so, the amount of Taxes attributable to the land and the amount of Taxes attributable to buildings; and (C) Tenant’s portion of the total Taxes together with a statement showing how Tenant’s portion was calculated in accordance with this Section.

6.4 Tax Incentives. At Tenant’s request, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts (but at Tenant’s cost and expense) to subject the Premises to any business and economic development incentive programs made available by Governmental Authorities to abatement any personal or real property taxes due in connection with the Project and/or the Premises. Tenant agrees to reasonably cooperate with Landlord to seek such tax benefits.

7. USE OF PREMISES.

7.1 Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. Landlord intends to use the Site as a science and technology campus. Following the execution of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to impose reasonable covenants, conditions and restrictions on the construction, development and use of the Site (the “Declaration”). Landlord shall submit the Declaration to Tenant for Tenant’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, in its sole and absolute discretion, disapprove any provision of the Declaration that (i) materially interferes with or restricts any of Tenant’s Permitted Uses of the Premises under this Lease, (ii) materially increases the obligations or decreases the rights of Tenant under this Lease, (iii) applies to Tenant or the Premises in a discriminatory manner, (iv) grants any lien that purports to be superior to Tenant’s interest in this Lease unless such lien is expressly subordinate to the lien of any Lender, (v) grants any other occupants of the Site the right of ingress or egress on or over the Premises, or (vi) otherwise materially interferes with Tenant’s use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises. Tenant agrees to subject this Lease to the terms of any Declaration approved by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this paragraph.

7.2 Use. Tenant and Tenant’s Agents (including any Permitted Transferee) may use the Premises for the construction, operation, repair, replacement or modification of the Project, and the construction, location, use and operation of facilities for any of Tenant’s Vendor/Partners


		- 17 -

(the “Permitted Uses”). Landlord’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall be required for any use other than the Permitted Uses, but in any and all events, any Permitted Uses must be permissible under all applicable Laws and consistent with a first-class office, science and technology campus.

7.3 Compliance with Legal Requirements.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant, throughout the Initial Term and Extension Terms, if any, and at no expense whatsoever to Landlord, shall comply promptly or cause prompt compliance with all laws (including, without limitation, Environmental Law) and ordinances and the orders, rules, regulations and requirements of duly constituted public authorities, foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary as well as extraordinary, and whether or not the same shall presently be within the contemplation of the parties hereto or shall involve any change of governmental policy and irrespective of the cost thereof, which may be applicable to the Premises or Improvements, or the construction, repair or alteration thereof including, without limitation, the fixtures and equipment thereof or the use or manner of use of the Premises or Improvements. Tenant further agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, fully and faithfully perform and observe all requirements and conditions of all contracts (including insurance policies), agreements and covenants applicable to the Premises or the ownership, occupancy or use thereof which are in existence and known to Tenant on the date hereof or which are hereafter entered into by Tenant or by Landlord with the consent of Tenant, including but not limited to, all requirements and conditions set forth in instruments recorded as of the Effective Date of this Lease and in any instrument recorded thereafter with the consent of Tenant.

(b) Tenant represents, warrants and covenants that Tenant’s (or any assignee’s or subtenant’s) use of the Premises will not result in or involve the use, generation, manufacture, refining, transportation, treatment, storage, handling or disposal of any Regulated Substances except in compliance with applicable Laws and as necessary for the Permitted Use.

(c) In addition to Landlord’s direct right to claim against Tenant for its breach of the provisions of the immediately preceding subparagraph (b) Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its members, directors, officers, partners and any of its employees, against all cost incurred (including, without limitation, amounts paid pursuant to penalties, fines, orders, judgments or settlements and as attorney’s fees), arising out of any claim made by Federal, State or local agencies or departments or private litigants or third parties with respect to violations or alleged violations by Tenant or any of its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, or anyone holding the Premises or the Improvements or any part thereof through or under Tenant, of the provisions of the immediately preceding subparagraph (b). This obligation shall survive termination of this Lease.

(d) Landlord Cooperation.

(1) Generally. Subject to Landlord’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Landlord, from time to time, at the request of Tenant and at Tenant’s cost and expense, shall: (a) execute any documents, petitions, applications, and


		- 18 -

authorizations as are appropriate or required to obtain any permits, licenses, variances, approvals, subdivision plats, or other governmental approval or authorization for the Premises or any Improvements as contemplated in this Lease; (b) release existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of the Premises, (c) grant easements and other rights in the nature of easements related to the use of the Premises contemplated in this Lease including, but not limited to, easements and rights related to access to public roadways, and utility installations; (d) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of the Premises for road, highway or other public purposes; (e) execute amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting the Premises; and (f) execute and deliver to any person any instrument appropriate to confirm or effect such grants, release, dedications and transfers (to the extent of Landlord’s interest in the Premises), but only upon delivery to Landlord of a certificate from Tenant stating that such requested document is appropriate, required or beneficial for and not detrimental to the proper conduct of the business of Tenant at the Premises and does not materially reduce the value of the Premises.

(2) Railroad matters. The parties agree that Tenant may find it useful to take advantage of the shipping and logistical opportunities provided by the existence of a railroad freight yard immediately to the north of the Site. Tenant may make whatever arrangements it desires with the owner of such freight yard for the establishment, at no cost to Landlord, of loading and shipping facilities located on such freight yard. Landlord shall provide Tenant truck access from the Premises across the remainder of the Site, to a point on the northerly border of the Site which is reasonably selected by Landlord for access to such railroad freight yard. The path of such access shall determined and may be altered by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.

8. UTILITIES.

(a) Landlord shall be responsible at its sole cost for bringing to the Premises all utilities (i.e. water, gas, electric, phone, cable and T-3 Internet, but excluding sanitary sewer, which is the sole responsibility of Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost) in sufficient quantities necessary for the construction of the Improvements and initial use of the Premises for the Project. From and after the commencement of construction of the Improvements, Tenant shall pay all utility imposed with respect to the Premises and the Improvements and consumed by Tenant during the Term of this Lease. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the point of entry onto the Premises for the utilities, such agreement to be reached at or before a time which is consistent with the needs of Tenant’s construction schedule but, in no event, later than April 1, 2012. The parties agree that the objective of their negotiations is the selection of points of entry which captures the optimal compromise of the respective interests of the parties.

(b) Temporary electric (120/240 volts, 100 amps), temporary potable water sufficient for Tenant’s initial construction and fire needs (i.e., construction trailer needs) at the Premises and shall be brought to the Premises by Landlord at Landlord’s cost.


		- 19 -

(c) Final utilities shall be brought to the boundary of the Premises by Landlord on or before August 15, 2012. The utilities shall be in the following capacities:


	Xxxxx 0 - X0 0000		Xxxxx 0 - X0 0000
Water (GPD)		6,750		23,130
Sewage (GPD)		6,750		20,250
Gas (CFH)		27,415		27,415
Electricity (kVA)		3,200		9,000
Network (Mbps)		110		1000

For purposes of the final utilities, in the event that Landlord runs the final utility lines along the easterly side of Road #1, Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost that Tenant would have incurred had Tenant brought the same utility lines from the southern lot line of the Premises to the same distance from Tenant’s building utility interconnection point as Road # 1’s distance from Tenant’s building utility interconnection point. If Landlord desires to oversize the utilities for use by other tenants on the Site, Landlord may do so at its sole cost and expense, however, Landlord shall be responsible for any proportionate costs associated with any such oversizing. For example, if Landlord oversizes the utilities by 60%, then Landlord is responsible for 60% of the trench digging costs on the Premises.

9. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep the Improvements and Premises in good and lawful order and condition (including, without limitation, all landscaping and sidewalks and curbing and storm water management ponds and drainage mechanisms constructed by Tenant whether located on or off the Premises), in keeping with an overall first-class office, science and technology campus, and in connection therewith, shall make or cause to be made all necessary repairs, alterations and/or replacements thereto, interior, exterior, structural and nonstructural, reasonable wear and tear excepted. All such repairs, alterations, and replacements shall be equal in quality to the original work.

10. SIGNAGE. Tenant shall be permitted to place interior and exterior signs including those that identify the names and/or logos of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents at the Premises and throughout the Improvements consistent with Tenant’s business practices and in compliance with all Laws. Landlord hereby grants Tenant the right, upon the termination, cancellation, or expiration of this Lease, to enter upon the Premises and remove any and all such signs, it being understood that Tenant shall repair any damage thereby caused to the Premises or the Improvements at its sole cost and expense. Tenant, at its expense, shall be permitted to place a panel on any pylon or monument signs erected by Landlord at any entrances to the Site. If any occupant of the Site is permitted to erect a pylon or monument sign at the Site or any additional pylon or monument signs are constructed at the Site, then in either event, Tenant shall be granted a similar privilege at its option to place a panel on Landlord’s pylon or monument sign or erect a pylon or monument sign at a location at the Site to be reasonably agreed upon by Tenant and Landlord.

11.	COMMON AREAS AND FACILITIES; EASEMENTS.

11.1 Grant. Tenant and Tenant’s Agents shall have the non-exclusive right of access to, egress from, and use of all Common Areas and Facilities, which shall be available to Tenant and Tenant’s Agents seven (7) days a week, twenty four (24) hours a day. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant and Tenant’s Agents, during the Term of this Lease, the use of all easements, rights and privileges appurtenant to the Premises together with the nonexclusive right to use all curb cuts (including all curb cuts on Christiana Parkway) driveways, roads, alleys, and means of ingress and egress to the Premises and located on the Site and all streets and highways abutting and adjacent to the Premises and Site for the purposes of pedestrian, service and vehicular access, ingress and egress to, from and between the Premises, the Site and the streets and highways abutting and adjacent to the Premises and Site without payment of any fee or other charge therefor (except as otherwise provided herein in connection with Tenant’s payment of its Proportionate Share for the maintenance and repair of the Common Areas and Facilities), which easements shall run as covenants with the Premises, provided that the aforesaid access and use by Tenant and Tenant’s Agents does not materially interfere with Landlord’s intended development and operation of the Site as an office, science and technology campus. The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant, its Agents, contractors and employees, shall be permitted to park trucks on the Premises and not on any other portion of the Site.

11.2 Utility Easements. At Tenant’s request, subject to Landlord’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but subject to not materially interfering with Landlord’s intended development of the Site, Landlord shall grant reasonable easements to utility companies as may be required to service the Improvements. Tenant agrees to grant Landlord reasonable non-exclusive easements for underground utilities over and across the Premises for the benefit of the Site at such locations as may be mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, acting reasonably, provided, that such easements shall not substantially interfere with or obstruct Tenant’s construction, use, operation or maintenance of the Project or otherwise interfere with Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises.

11.3 Operation. As the same are constructed and completed, Landlord agrees to keep (or cause to be kept) the Common Areas and Facilities in good maintenance and repair. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the cost of maintaining and repairing the Common Areas and Facilities pursuant to any Declaration approved by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, or, if such Declaration has not been imposed by Landlord, Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the maintenance and repair of the Common Areas and Facilities. From time to time, and prior to any invoice for such Proportionate Share, as Landlord’s plans for the Site develop and it plans to construct specific items of Common Area and Facilities, Landlord shall so advise Tenant and, at Tenant’s election, the parties shall discuss whether any particular item meets the definition of Common Area and Facilities provided by this Lease. Invoices for such Proportionate Share shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation and due within thirty (30) days of receipt.

11.4 General Covenants. Landlord agrees that (a) no fences or other obstructions prohibiting access to and from the Premises and the remainder of the Site shall be constructed during the Term and access to the Premises shall not be limited or restricted in any material way by Landlord; (b) Landlord shall not cause or permit any changes to the Common Areas and Facilities or other aspects of the Site that would materially interfere with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises and the operation of Tenant’s business therefrom or materially increase the obligations (except for Tenant’s obligation to pay its Proportionate Share for the Common Areas and Facilities) or decrease the rights of Tenant under this Lease and (c) Landlord shall not materially interfere with the operation of Tenant’s business from the Premises.


		- 21 -

11.5 Temporary Closing of the Site. Any temporary closing of the Site by Landlord to prevent the acquisition of public rights shall not occur unless Landlord reasonably believes that such closing is required and shall not extend past the minimum period of time required by Law to prevent the acquisition of such public rights. If any such closure extends beyond the minimum period of time required by Law to prevent the acquisition of such public rights then, in addition to Tenant’s other rights and remedies, Tenant shall be allowed to xxxxx the payment of Rent required hereunder for each day in excess of the minimum period of closing required by Law.

11.6 Sanitary Sewer Connection/Use. Tenant shall be entitled to utilize Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any sewer connection fee credits and/or sewer related use credits (collectively “Credit”) Landlord may be entitled to receive from New Castle County as a result of the operations and uses at the Site by Landlord or any prior owner or operator.

12.	ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

12.1 (a) Tenant shall not assign this Lease (which assignment may only be in its entirety) or sublet all or any portion of the Premises without Landlord’s prior consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right without Landlord’s prior consent to assign this Lease in its entirety or sublet all or any portion of the Premises to: (i) any corporation, limited liability company or partnership into or with which Tenant may be merged or consolidated; (ii) any corporation, limited liability company or partnership which shall be an affiliate, subsidiary, parent or successor of Tenant; (iii) any company or person who is a joint venturer or partner with Tenant in the use and operation of the Project; (iv) any Vendor/Partner (such Transfers to a Vendor/Partner, a “Vendor Transfer”, and each, of the foregoing, a “Permitted Transfer” and any such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that: (x) with respect to a Vendor Transfer, Tenant notifies Landlord of any Permitted Transfer at least fifteen (15) days prior thereto and with respect to any other Permitted Transfer, Tenant notifies Landlord of such Transfer within fifteen (15) days thereafter; (y) except for a Permitted Transfer in which Tenant is the surviving entity, the assignment or subletting is by written agreement and a copy thereof is provided by Tenant to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days thereafter; and (z) any assignment or subletting shall not release Tenant from any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease. Landlord specifically acknowledges that Tenant may convert its structure into any other type of structure as may be permitted by Laws, and in any such event, the conditions of clauses (x) through (z) shall not apply and Landlord’s consent shall not be required. The sale, issuance or transfer of Tenant’s stock or other equityholders interest shall not, under any circumstances, be deemed an assignment or other transfer of this Lease or the Premises.


		- 22 -

By way of example and without limitation, the parties agree it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold consent if, as reasonably determined by Landlord: (a) the proposed assignee or subtenant would use the Premises or Improvements for a purpose or in a manner which is not in strict conformity with all of the requirements of this Lease or (b) the business reputation or character of the proposed assignee or subtenant is not consistent with the operation of the Site as a first class office, science and technology park.

No assignment shall be binding upon Landlord unless the assignee shall deliver to Landlord an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord containing a covenant of assumption by the assignee, but the failure or refusal of an assignee to execute and deliver the same shall not release assignee from its liability as set forth in this Section.

(v) Neither Landlord’s failure to insist that any insurance documentation or evidence of payment be delivered, nor Landlord’s acceptance of any of the same shall relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Section of the Lease.

(vi) Certificates of insurance evidencing all coverage required herein shall be provided to Landlord at the commencement of this Lease and at least annually thereafter. All required certificates of insurance shall eliminate the wording ‘endeavor to’ and ‘but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation of liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representatives’ from the cancellation provision. Certificates of insurance provided by Tenant to Landlord shall serve as adequate evidence of compliance by Tenant with the provisions of Paragraph 13, and all of its subparagraphs.

(vii) All property insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord and the University of Delaware.

13.4 Scope of Indemnity. The scope and the extent of the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Section 13 shall be to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and also shall not be limited to the minimum dollar amounts of commercial general liability insurance to be maintained by Landlord and Tenant, respectively, under this Lease.

13.	CONDEMNATION.

13.1 Taking. If the entire Premises shall be acquired by a Taking and such Taking is not deemed “temporary” (as that term is hereinafter defined), the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder (except rights and obligations arising prior to such Taking and except rights and obligations provided in this Section) shall terminate as of the date of such Taking. The parties hereby agree to look solely to the condemnation award for compensation in the proportions hereinafter provided for their respective interests in the Premises, and there shall be a full abatement in the payment of Rent and other sums payable by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease occurring after the date of the Taking.


		- 26 -

13.2 Partial Taking.

(a) If there shall be a Taking of any portion (but less than all) of the Improvements or a Taking of the Premises such that access is denied or substantially impaired or a portion of the any parking areas serving the Premises (whether located within the Premises or the Common Areas and Facilities) is taken so that there are less than the lawfully required number of spaces and Tenant is unable to replace the spaces so taken on another part of the Site (at Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion) or such a substantial portion of the Improvements (but less than all) is Taken such that it shall no longer be reasonably economical or practical because of such Taking for Tenant to continue its business on the Premises, in its reasonable judgment, then Tenant shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of notice of such Taking and the condemnation award shall be equitably apportioned as set forth in Section 14.4 below.

(b) If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease, Rent shall be reduced, as of the date of Taking, in the same proportion that the ground area of the Site so taken compares to the total land area of the Site immediately prior to such Taking and Tenant shall restore the Improvements to the extent of available condemnation proceeds to a viable economic unit.

13.3 Temporary Taking. If there is a temporary Taking (90 days or less) of all or part of the right to possession and use of the Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to that portion of the award, to the extent that it relates to a period within the Term, and there shall be no abatement or reduction in Rent.

If the awards each Appraiser allocates to the parties: (i) are within 10% of each other, the awards shall be averaged and such average shall be the final allocation of the award; or (ii) are not within 10% of each other, the two Appraisers shall then select a third Appraiser who shall independently allocate the award between Landlord and Tenant, which must be either Landlord’s Appraiser’s allocation or Tenant’s Appraiser’s allocation as submitted, but no other amount or compromise between the two.

14.	DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES.

(a) Improvements Occupied by Tenant. In the event of total or partial destruction of the Improvements occupied by Tenant by fire or other casualty, Tenant agrees to promptly and diligently assert and pursue its lawful claim for insurance proceeds and promptly, after receipt of insurance proceeds (except in the case of steps reasonably necessary to secure the Premises safely, in which case Tenant’s duty take such steps shall not await the receipt of


		- 27 -

insurance proceeds), restore and repair the Improvements at Tenant’s expense; provided, however, that in the event the Improvements are so destroyed that they cannot be repaired or rebuilt within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the damage or destruction, then Tenant may, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord, which election must be made within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the casualty, terminate and cancel this Lease and retain all proceeds of Tenant’s property insurance, provided, however, Tenant shall promptly (but in no event later than one-hundred (180) days from the date of such termination) remove all above grade structures and improvements (damaged or not) such as to bring the building(s) down to the slab, and the entire Premises shall be brought into compliance with all applicable Laws subject to any variances and/or grandfathered status.

This obligation shall survive expiration of this Lease.

15.	DEFAULTS.

15.1 Default by Tenant. Any other provisions of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, it shall be deemed to be an “Event of Default” under this Lease if: (a) Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent which is due and payable hereunder by Tenant and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) after Tenant’s receipt of notice thereof from Landlord, or (b) Tenant fails to keep, observe or perform any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease to be kept, observed or performed by Tenant and such failure continues after Tenant’s receipt of notice of default thereof from Landlord for more than thirty (30) days, provided that if the same cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, then within such additional time, if any, as is reasonably necessary to complete such cure, provided that Tenant has commenced such cure within the initial thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues such cure to completion, or (c) Tenant and/or Bloom Energy Corporation shall (i) voluntarily be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; (ii) consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or for any of the Premises or Improvements; (iii) file a petition in bankruptcy, or a petition or answer seeking reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or a petition seeking relief under any other debtor relief law; or (iv) file a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (d) a court shall enter an order, judgment, or decree (i) appointing, with or without the voluntary consent of Tenant, a receiver or trustee for Tenant and/or Bloom Energy Corporation or for the Premises or

For purposes of this Lease, abandonment shall be deemed to have occurred if Tenant ceases business operations at the Premises for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months or otherwise after vacating the Premises unequivocally evidences an intention to abandon indefinitely the Project.

15.2 Landlord’s Remedies for Tenant’s Default. If an Event of Default by Tenant shall have occurred and is continuing, automatically, and without the requirement of any notice or demand, during the Initial Term, the Base Rent due and payable hereunder shall immediately as of the date of such Event of Default convert to the Fair Market Rent determined in accordance with Section 2.3 and Landlord may, at its option:

(a) Terminate this Lease by giving fifteen (15) additional days’ prior notice thereof to Tenant and, upon the expiration of such notice period, this Lease shall terminate with the same force and effect as though the date of such notice were the Expiration Date, and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate, but Tenant shall remain liable as herein expressly provided;

(b) Exercise any other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity;

(c) During the Extension Term (and only during the Extension Term) after terminating this Lease, as Landlord may elect, Landlord may re-enter and repossess the Premises, or any part thereof, and lease the Premises to any other person upon such terms as Landlord shall deem reasonable, for a term within or beyond the Term. Any such reletting prior to termination shall be for the account of Tenant, and Tenant shall remain liable for (a) the excess, if any of (i) all Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such expiration, termination or repossession, over (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting effected for the account of Tenant, determined by deducting from the gross proceeds of any such reletting all expenses incurred in connection with such reletting of the Premises, as determined by Landlord, including, without limitation, the following: (A) repossession costs; (B) attorneys’ fees and expenses; (C) brokers’ commissions and advertising costs; (D) costs of alterations, improvements, repairs and replacements; and (E) improvement allowances, free rent, and other concessions; and, (b) all other costs and expenses, direct or indirect, incurred as a result of Tenant’s breach of this Lease. If the Premises are sublet by Tenant to others at the time of any default, Landlord may, as Tenant’s agent, collect rents due from any subtenant and apply such rents to the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts due hereunder without in any way affecting Tenant’s obligations to Landlord. Such agency, being given for security, is hereby declared to be irrevocable;

(d) All remedies available to Landlord hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant shall be cumulative and concurrent, but may only be exercised by Landlord after Tenant has received all required notices from Landlord and all applicable periods have expired without a cure having been effectuated by Tenant.


		- 29 -

(e) The failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict performance of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of this Lease or to exercise any right, privilege, option or remedy herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future of any such term, covenant, condition, provision, agreement, right, privilege, option or remedy. A receipt and acceptance by Landlord of Basic Rent or Additional Rent, or the acceptance of performance of anything required by this Lease to be performed, with knowledge of the breach of any term, covenant, condition, provision or agreement of this Lease, shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, nor shall any such acceptance of Basic Rent or Additional Rent in a lesser amount than is herein provided for (regardless of any endorsement on any check, or any statement in any letter accompanying any payment of rent) operate or be construed either as an accord and satisfaction or in any manner other than as payment on account of the earliest Basic Rent and/or Additional Rent then unpaid by Tenant. No waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant, condition, provision or agreement of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any obligations, agreements or covenants in this Lease shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach or of any obligation, agreement or covenant, nor shall any forbearance by Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach by Tenant be a waiver of any rights and remedies with respect to such or any subsequent breach.

15.3 Landlord’s Default. Landlord’s failure to perform or observe any of its obligations under this Lease after a period of thirty (30) days or such additional time, if any, as may be reasonably necessary to cure such failure after receiving notice from the Tenant, shall constitute a Landlord Default, unless Landlord shall, within such period, promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the curing of such failure. Such notice shall give reasonable detail as to the nature and extent of the failure and identify the Lease provisions containing the obligations. Upon Landlord’s Default, Tenant may pursue any remedies given in this Lease or available at law or in equity.

15.4 Self-Help. If either party defaults (“Defaulting Party”) and fails to timely cure as provided herein, the other party (“Non-defaulting Party”) may, without being obligated and without waiving the default, cure the default. The Non-defaulting Party may enter the Premises or Site to cure the default. The Defaulting Party shall pay the Non-defaulting Party, upon demand (accompanied by an invoice itemizing in detail the work done and the charges therefor), all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by the Non-defaulting Party to cure the default.

16. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Upon payment by Tenant of the Rent reserved and provided to be paid by Tenant hereunder and upon the keeping, observance and performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be kept, observed and performed, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term without hindrance or interruption by Landlord or by any person or persons lawfully claiming or holding by, through or under Landlord.

17.1 Subordination of Lease; Attornment. This Lease shall not become subject or subordinate to any lease, right, claim, mortgage or deed of trust hereafter placed against or affecting the Premises or any portion or portions thereof unless and until the holder of any right or claim or any Mortgagee shall have executed, acknowledged and delivered to Tenant a recordable, written instrument in form and content reasonably acceptable to Tenant (the “Non-Disturbance Agreement”) pursuant to which any such holder on behalf of itself and its respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns (including any purchaser under foreclosure proceedings or grantee under a deed in lieu of foreclosure (the “Purchaser”)) shall recognize Tenant’s interest in this Lease and be bound by this Lease as if it were the original Landlord hereunder for the balance of the Term.

17.2 Estoppel Certificates.

Subject to the terms of the Environmental Indemnity, Tenant covenants and agrees to indemnify, protect and save Landlord harmless against and from any and all damages and liabilities of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and disbursements), known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Landlord or the Premises or any portion thereof and arising from or out of any Regulated Substances on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Premises, introduced by, or on behalf of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents. This indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

19. LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. Landlord shall not have any personal liability with respect to any of the covenants, agreements, or other provisions of this Lease.

37. LANDLORD’S WAIVER. Landlord hereby waives any right it may have to distrain upon or secure a lien against any of Tenant’s property, goods or fixtures for any reason whatsoever and shall execute any consent, waiver or agreement reasonably required by any lessor of Tenant’s property or the holders of any security interest in Tenant’s property; provided, however, that the holder of any such security interest or the lessor under any such lease agrees in writing to repair any damage which may be done to the Premises as the result of the removal of such trade fixtures, equipment, machinery or other goods and effects.

38. [RESERVED]

39. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. From and after the date hereof and during the Term, Tenant shall have the right of first refusal and Landlord shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or convey all or part of Landlord’s interest in the Premises to any third party until and unless Landlord shall have obtained a bona fide offer therefor (the “Offer”), delivered written notice to Tenant, which notice shall contain the name of the offeror, the address of the offeror, all of the terms and conditions of the Offer, a true and accurate copy of the Offer and offered to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such interest to Tenant at the same price and, except as hereafter provided, upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Offer and Tenant has not elected to exercise its right of first refusal provided herein.

(a) If Tenant shall either deliver written notice of rejection of the Offer to Landlord or fail to deliver written notice of acceptance of the Offer within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of Landlord’s notice, Landlord’s interest in the Premises may, during the one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to the original offeror at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Offer as disclosed in writing to Tenant.


		- 37 -

(b) In the event Tenant rejects the Offer or fails to accept the Offer, this Lease and all of its terms and conditions (including this right of first refusal) shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and Landlord and any purchaser or purchasers of the Premises shall be bound thereby.

(c) Failure of Tenant to exercise this right of first refusal on one or more occasions shall not affect Tenant’s right to exercise it on any subsequent occasion. Any sale or transfer of the Premises, or any part thereof, other than in strict compliance with the terms of this Section shall be null and void and of no effect as to Tenant, and Tenant shall be entitled to purchase the Premises from the purchaser upon the same terms and conditions and at the same price specified in the Offer, provided Tenant notifies Landlord of its election thirty (30) days after receipt of notice that complies with the requirements hereof. Payment of rental to such purchaser or otherwise treating such purchaser as Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any right of first refusal or any other right or privilege of Tenant and shall not create an estoppel with respect thereto.

(d) Any sale or transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, or any part thereof shall be expressly made subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. In the event the Offer provides for the sale and purchase of Landlord’s interest in the Premises and other property, Tenant shall only be required to purchase all the Premises in the event it desires to exercise its right of first refusal hereunder.

(e) In the event Tenant exercises its right of first refusal then, notwithstanding the terms of the Offer (i) Landlord shall convey title by warranty deed approved by Tenant and the title company; (ii) title to the Premises shall be free and clear of any liens and encumbrances except the lien for current taxes which are not delinquent at the time of closing and such other exceptions to title as existed on the date hereof and/or were approved by Tenant thereafter; and (iii) title to the Premises shall otherwise comply with the terms of this Lease as they pertain to condition of title. Upon such election by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant agree to act in good faith to consummate a purchase agreement for the property described in the Offer incorporating the express terms of the Offer and other customary terms and provisions for similar transactions of similar industrial property located in the same geographic area as the Premises.

(f) The Right of First Refusal shall not apply to Landlord’s conveying the Premises to any corporation, limited liability company or partnership which shall be an affiliate, subsidiary, parent or successor of Landlord or its members. Upon such conveyance, Landlord shall thereafter be released from liability under this Lease, from and after the date of such conveyance, except for any environmental liabilities, which would survive any such conveyance by Landlord.

40. [RESERVED].

41. LEASE GUARANTY. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, Landlord shall cause The University of Delaware to deliver to Tenant a guaranty of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “H”


		- 38 -

42. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties and cannot be changed or modified except by a written instrument subsequently executed by the parties hereto.

43. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS LEASE, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY LANDLORD AND TENANT AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.

44. VENUE. ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LANDLORD OR TENANT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LEASE MAY BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN NEW CASTLE COUNTY, DELAWARE, AND EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE BASED ON VENUE AND/OR FORUM NON-CONVENIENS OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

replacing the statute referred to; the word “or” shall be deemed to include “and/or”, the words “including”, “includes” and “include” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and references to sections or exhibits are to those of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) is made as of the day of , 2012, by the University of Delaware, a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), in favor of Bloom Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Beneficiary”). Guarantor recites as follows:

A. Beneficiary, as tenant, and 1743 Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), are concurrently herewith entering into a Ground Lease, pursuant to which Landlord will lease to Beneficiary approximately fifty (50) acres of a property located in the City of Newark, New Castle County, Delaware (the “Lease”).

B. Guarantor is the sole member of Landlord and will derive a substantial benefit from Landlord and Beneficiary’s agreement to enter into the Lease.

C. As a condition precedent to Beneficiary’s obligations under the Lease, and as a material inducement for Beneficiary to enter into the Lease, Guarantor desires to guaranty the performance of all of the obligations of Landlord under the Lease, on the terms and conditions described herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10) in hand paid, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby unconditionally guaranties and agrees as follows:

1. Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guaranties (a) the performance of Landlord’s Work under the Lease, and (b) Landlord’s reimbursement obligation under Section 4.1(c) of the Lease, if applicable (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

2. This Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect until the full and complete payment and performance by Landlord of all Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of, or of any changes, modifications or amendments that may from time to time be made to, the Lease, and notwithstanding the incompetency of Guarantor from time to time, and further notwithstanding any act or failure to act on the part of Beneficiary or any other party which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor (including, without limitation, the liquidation, dissolution, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the status, existence, assets or obligations of Guarantor). Guarantor may not revoke the continuing nature of this Guaranty. In the event that Beneficiary seeks to enforce any of its rights under this Guaranty and demands payment or performance from Guarantor, such demand and Guarantor’s compliance therewith shall not release, extinguish, exonerate or in any way affect or diminish Guarantor’s continuing obligations under this Guaranty.

3. Subject to the terms thereof, the Lease may be assigned, modified or amended in whole or in part, and changes may be made in the entity comprising Landlord or Beneficiary from time to time without notice to Guarantor and without releasing Guarantor or extinguishing, exonerating or in any way affecting or diminishing Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. Similarly, Beneficiary may from time to time, and without notice to Guarantor, release Landlord or any persons or entities comprising Landlord from Landlord’s obligations under the Lease; release or substitute any security that Beneficiary may have for the Guaranteed Obligations or accept security therefor; add, substitute or release additional guarantors; or compromise or settle any amount due or owing, or claimed to be due or owing, under the Lease; and no such action by Beneficiary or any other act or omission of Beneficiary in connection with the Lease shall in any way affect this Guaranty or Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. In addition, subject to the terms of the Lease, Beneficiary may, without notice to Guarantor, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of any or all of Beneficiary’s rights, claims or interests in, under and to the Lease or this Guaranty, and no such act shall release Guarantor or extinguish or diminish in any way Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

4. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall constitute a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the obligations of Landlord, and Beneficiary may enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor without first (a) making any effort at collection or enforcement of any Guaranteed Obligations from or against Landlord or any other party that may be liable therefor (including filing suit or otherwise initiating legal proceedings to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgment against Landlord), (b) exercising or asserting any other right or remedy which may be available in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or resorting to or exhausting any other security, guaranty or collateral held with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or (c) asserting or filing any claim against the assets of Landlord, Guarantor, or any of them for such Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

5. Guarantor expressly waives (a) any right Guarantor may have to require Beneficiary to proceed against Landlord or any other guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Beneficiary, or to pursue any other remedy in Beneficiary’s power to pursue prior to claiming or proceeding against Guarantor; (b) any defense based upon any legal disability of Landlord or any other guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations or any discharge or limitation of the liability of Landlord or any such other guarantor to Beneficiary, whether consensual or arising by operation of law or any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency or debtor-relief proceeding or from any other cause; (c) any defense based upon any invalidity or unenforceability of any other guarantee of any Guaranteed Obligations; (d) any notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, extension of time for payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, and notice of any kind whatsoever and Guarantor hereby consents to any and all forbearances and extensions of time for payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter made or granted with or without notice to Guarantor; (e) any right to assert the statute of limitations as a defense against enforcement of this Guaranty; and (f) all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and reimbursement, all rights to enforce any remedy that Beneficiary may have against Landlord, or any other guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations,

and all rights to participate in any security held by Beneficiary for the Guaranteed Obligations until such Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Beneficiary, even though that election of remedies has destroyed any right that Guarantor may have to collect from Landlord (including Guarantor’s right of subrogation or reimbursement against Landlord).

6. Guarantor hereby subordinates all its claims for payment or liens now or hereafter securing any indebtedness of Landlord to Guarantor to Beneficiary’s right to receive payment from Landlord of all Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity or contribution which Guarantor may now or hereafter have against Landlord, any other guarantor or any person who now or hereafter has direct or contingent liability (whether by contract, at law or in equity) for all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full. If and to the extent this waiver is unenforceable, Guarantor agrees that all such rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity and contribution shall be junior and subordinate to the right of Beneficiary to obtain payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and to all rights of Beneficiary in and to any property which now or hereafter serves as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations.

7. This Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding (a) the commencement or continuation of any action or proceeding by, against or concerning Landlord or Beneficiary under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtor-relief law, (b) the voluntary or involuntary appointment of a receiver, trustee, keeper or other person who takes possession of any of Landlord’s or Beneficiary’s respective assets, regardless of whether such appointment occurs as a result of insolvency or any other cause or (c) any assignment by Landlord or Beneficiary for the benefit of its respective creditors. In the event any payment by Landlord to Beneficiary is held to constitute a preference, fraudulent conveyance or similar voidable payment under any law now or hereafter in effect and such payment is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by Beneficiary, such payment by Landlord to Beneficiary shall not constitute a release of Guarantor and shall not in any way diminish Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. To the contrary, this Guaranty shall in such event continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, to the extent of any such payment or payments.

8. This Guaranty shall not be subject to any condition precedent to the effectiveness hereof. Upon execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor, this Guaranty shall be in full force and effect. This Guaranty may not be amended, modified, waived, discharged or terminated orally or by course of conduct, but only by an instrument in writing duly executed by both Beneficiary and Guarantor. No waiver by Beneficiary of any default or any other event shall be effective unless in writing, nor shall it operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. No delay or omission by Beneficiary in exercising any of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Lease or hereunder and no course of dealing between Beneficiary, on the one hand, and Landlord, Guarantor or any other person, on the other hand, shall be deemed a waiver by Beneficiary of any of its rights, remedies, powers or

privileges, even if such delay or omission is continuous or repeated, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof by Beneficiary, or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege by Beneficiary. No notice to or demand on Landlord, Guarantor or any other person or entity in any instance shall entitle Landlord, Guarantor or any other person or entity to any other or further notice or demand in any circumstances or constitute a waiver of Beneficiary’s right to any other or further action in any circumstance without notice or demand.

9. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of any person or persons, entity or entities who now or hereafter may be entitled to the benefits or obligated to perform the duties of Beneficiary under the Lease and shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor. All rights and remedies of Beneficiary under this Guaranty and the Lease are cumulative and not restrictive of any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) when personally delivered or (b) when sent by fax with confirmation of receipt or (c) one business day after being sent by reputable overnight delivery service, charges prepaid, and addressed as follows: if to Beneficiary: c/o Bloom Energy Corporation, 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: General Counsel; and if to Guarantor, at: University of Delaware, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: General Counsel. Whenever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

10. GUARANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS THAT GUARANTOR MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF THE OTHER PARTY. GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BENEFICIARY TO ENTER INTO THE LEASE. Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally accepts and consents to jurisdiction in the state in which the property covered by the Lease is located in any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty, agrees to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any state court in the county in which such property is located or in any federal court whose district includes any such county, and waives any objection to any such venue on the basis of inconvenient forum. Guarantor consents to service of process in any such action or proceeding by any means permitted by the law of such state. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the property covered by the Lease is located.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Guaranty as of the day and year first above written.
