On August 16, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Capstone Green Energy Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement dated October 1, 2020 (the “A&R Note Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. (as successor in interest to Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Holdings, Inc.), as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), and the purchaser party thereto (the “Purchaser”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Fifth Amendment.

The Fifth Amendment provides for (i) the waiver by the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent of the Company’s breach of a covenant contained in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement to enter into a transaction support agreement with one or more lenders in form and substance mutually satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Company (the “Transaction Support Agreement”) within 30 days of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and the failure to make an interest payment within 30 days of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date; (ii) a due date for the next interest payment on August 22, 2023 or such later date as is agreed to by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, which interest payment was originally due within 30 days of the effective date of the Fourth Amendment to the A&R Note Purchase Agreement; (iii) a minimum Consolidated Liquidity covenant requirement of $3.5 million, commencing on July 14, 2023 and operative through September 1, 2024; and (iv) the amendment of the milestones with respect of the Transaction Support Agreement to require that the Company (A) agree to the terms and form of the Transaction Support Agreement (which may include a structure including bankruptcy proceedings) with one or more lenders in form and substance mutually satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Company by August 22, 2023 or such later date as is agreed to by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion,(B) subject to any necessary stockholder approvals, execute and deliver, or reach agreement on substantially final versions of, the definitive documentation with respect of the transactions specified in the Transaction Support Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent by August 31, 2023 or such later date as is agreed to by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, and (C) that the Company shall have closed the transactions specified by the Transaction Support Agreement by September 15, 2023 or such later date as is agreed by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion.

The foregoing description of the Fifth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Fifth Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

As previously reported on its Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 31, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $35 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing

Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company was provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until September 25, 2023, to regain compliance.

Exhibit 4.1

FIFTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Fifth Amendment”) is entered into as of August 16, 2023 by and among CAPSTONE GREEN ENERGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation formerly known as CAPSTONE TURBINE CORPORATION (the “Company”), the Purchaser signatory hereto and GOLDMAN SACHS SPECIALTY LENDING GROUP, L.P. (as successor in interest to Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Holdings, Inc.), as collateral agent for the Purchasers (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).

RECITALS

A. The Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent are parties to a certain Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which the Purchaser has agreed to purchase the Notes issued by Company;  

B. The Company has informed the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement as a result of its failure to satisfy (i) the requirement to enter into a transaction support agreement with one or more lenders in form and substance mutually satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Company on the date that is thirty (30) days after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date as set forth in Section 5.18 and (ii) the requirement to make an interest payment on the date that is thirty (30) days after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date as set forth in Section 2.7(e),  (collectively, the “Designated Events of Default”);

C.The Note Parties have requested that the Purchaser waive the Designated Events of Default and amend the Note Purchase Agreement as set forth herein and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Purchaser (being the sole Purchaser under the Note Purchase Agreement) executing this Fifth Amendment is willing to do so; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

A. AMENDMENTS

1. Section 2.7(e) of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with:

“Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Note (i) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in Cash in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such Interest Payment Date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily

basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Note, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Notes, including final maturity of the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement or any other Note Document to the contrary (but subject to the immediately succeeding sentence), the interest accruing with respect to the Notes from and after April 1, 2023 through and including July 5, 2023 shall, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, be payable in Cash on August 22, 2023 or such later date as is agreed to by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion (it being understood that, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, a failure to pay such interest on August 22, 2023 or such later date as is agreed to by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall be an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1(a)) and the Notes shall continue to accrue interest pursuant to this Section 2.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement or any other Note Document to the contrary, upon the effectiveness of the Transaction Support Agreement described in Section 5.18, all interest accrued in respect of the Notes during the period from and after April 1, 2023 until and excluding the Notes Maturity Date shall, to the extent not paid in Cash, automatically be paid in kind by capitalizing the amount of such interest accrued and adding such accrued amounts to the principal balance of the Notes (ratably among the Notes held by each Purchaser) on each applicable Interest Payment Date during such period (the principal amount of the Notes arising as a result of the capitalization of interest pursuant to this sentence, being referred to herein as “PIK Principal”). PIK Principal shall thereafter constitute principal and bear interest in accordance with Section 2.7(a) and otherwise be treated as Notes for purposes of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement or any Note Document to the Notes or the outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall include all PIK Principal that has not been repaid or prepaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, PIK Principal shall be pari passu with and shall constitute a portion of the Notes for all purposes hereunder or under any other Note Document, and the outstanding principal balance of PIK Principal shall be due and payable in Cash on the Note Maturity Date.”

2.Section 5.18 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with:
