(a) and (b)

As of the date of this Amendment No. 9, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Subject Shares”) set forth on the cover pages hereto, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as owned by Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, LLC (“Oaktree LLC”) is based on (i) 22,789,262 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported on the Third Quarter 2020 10-Q, (ii) the 1,271,784 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and (iii) the 657,383 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by Oaktree LLC.

The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as owned by each of OT POF IEA Preferred B Aggregator, L.P. (“Aggregator LP”) and OT POF IEA Preferred B Aggregator GP, LLC (“Aggregator GP”) is based on (i) 22,789,262 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported on the Third Quarter 2020 10-Q and (ii) the 1,018,374 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by Aggregator LP.

The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as owned by each of Oaktree Power Opportunities Fund III Delaware, L.P. (“Oaktree”), Oaktree Fund GP, LLC (“GP”), Oaktree Fund GP I, L.P. (“GP I”), Oaktree Capital I, L.P.

CUSIP No. 45686J104 SCHEDULE 13D Page 22 of 32

 

The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as owned by each of Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. (“BAM”) and Partners Limited (“Partners”) is based on (i) 22,789,262 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported on the Third Quarter 2020 10-Q, (ii) the 1,018,374 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by Aggregator LP, (iii) the 657,383 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by Oaktree LLC and (iv) the 1,271,784 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

In accordance with the Amended Series A Certificate, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is calculated by dividing (i) the Stated Value by (ii) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share of common stock for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date. In the event the Series A Preferred Stock is converted following an uncured non-payment, failure or default event, or if a holder of Series A Preferred Stock is converting (i) when the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock or the Issuer’s existing senior credit agreement would prohibit the payment of cash dividends or (ii) when any shares of Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, for the purposes of the foregoing calculation, VWAP per share will be multiplied by 90%. The “VWAP per share” is defined as the per share volume-weighted average price as reported by Bloomberg (as further described in the Amended Series A Certificate).

Oaktree LLC may be deemed to directly beneficially own 12,727,667 shares of Common Stock, which is 51.5% of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding, and has sole power to vote and dispose of such shares.

Such shares of Series B-3 Preferred Stock are not included in the number of shares set forth above because the conversion of the Series B-3 Preferred Stock is subject to material conditions (as further described in “Conversion into Common Stock in Connection with Certain Events” in Item 6) that are outside of the control of the Reporting Persons.

Aggregator LP may be deemed to directly beneficially own 1,018,374 shares of Common Stock comprised of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by Aggregator LP, which is 4.3% of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding, and has sole power to vote and dispose of such shares upon exercise of such Warrants. Aggregator LP also owns shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock.

2.       Representations and Warranties of the Sellers. Each Seller hereby, severally and not jointly and severally, represents and warrants to the Purchasers as of the date hereof and as of the Closing as follows:

(a)       Organization and Authority. Such Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of this Agreement is within the powers of such Seller and has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Seller. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of such Seller. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(b)       Noncontravention. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby does or would reasonably be expected to (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, license, lease or other agreement or instrument to which such Seller is a party or by which such Seller is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Seller is subject, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws (or similar organizational documents) of such Seller, or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such Seller or the property or assets of such Seller, except, in the case of clause (i), as would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay such Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c)       Approvals and Filings. No authorization, approval or consent of, or filing with, any court, governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization, stock exchange or market or other third party is required to be obtained or made by the Sellers in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, other than (i) filings required to be made under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or (ii) filings with the Company or the Company’s transfer agent to record the transfer of the Purchased Shares.

(d)       Title to Purchased Shares. Such Seller is the sole owner of record of the applicable Purchased Shares as set forth on Exhibit A hereto, and owns all 

 

 -3- 

 

 

right, good and valid title and interests (legal and beneficial) in and to the applicable Purchased Shares free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens. Upon the transfer of the applicable Purchased Shares owned by such Seller to the applicable Purchasers and payment to such Seller of the applicable portion of the Purchase Price, the applicable Purchasers will acquire good and valid title to such Purchased Shares free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens and Liens created by action of the Purchasers or their affiliates). No other Person, has any option, call, warrant, commitment or similar right with respect to the Purchased Shares owned by such Seller and such Seller has not entered into any agreement or contract (whether written or oral) with any Person imposing, or that would reasonably be expected to impose, a Lien on the applicable Purchased Shares.

(e)       Litigation. Other than the matter set forth on Schedule 1(a) (the “Disclosed Proceeding”), there is no action, suit, claim, proceeding, arbitration, governmental inquiry or investigation pending or, to the Sellers’ knowledge, threatened against the Sellers, at law or in equity, before or by any governmental or regulatory department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (each, a “Proceeding”), which would, or would reasonably be expected to, adversely affect the validity of, or prevent the consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. There is no Proceeding by or on behalf of the Sellers pending or, to the Sellers’ knowledge, threatened against any other Person relating to the Purchased Shares.

(f)       Brokers. Such Seller has not, directly, or indirectly, engaged any Person acting in the capacity of a finder or broker, nor has such Seller incurred any obligations for any finder’s, broker’s fee, commission or similar fees, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than in connection with the Public Offering, which will not result in any such fees becoming payable by the Purchasers or any of their affiliates).

(g)       Sophisticated Seller. Such Seller (1) is a sophisticated person with respect to the sale of the Purchased Shares; (2) is able to bear the economic risk associated with the sale of the Purchased Shares; (3) has such knowledge and experience, and has made sales of a similar nature, so as to be aware of the risks and uncertainties inherent in transactions of the type contemplated in this Agreement; and (4) has independently and without reliance upon any of the Purchasers, and based on such information as such Seller has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, except that such Seller has relied upon the Purchasers’ express representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement.

(h)       No general advertising. The Purchased Shares were not offered and are not being sold to the Purchasers by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

3.       Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Sellers, severally and not jointly and severally, as follows:

(a)       Organization and Authority. Such Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in

 

 -4- 

 

which it is organized and has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement is within the powers of such Purchaser and has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Purchaser. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Sellers, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(b)       Noncontravention. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby does or would reasonably be expected to (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, license, lease or other agreement or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Purchasers is subject, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws (or similar organizational documents) of such Purchaser, or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such Purchaser or the property or assets of such Purchaser except, in the case of clause (i), as would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay such Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c)       Approvals and Filings. No authorization, approval or consent of, or filing with, any court, governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization, stock exchange or market or other third party is required to be obtained or made by the Purchaser in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, other than (i) filings required to be made under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or (ii) filings with the Company or the Company’s transfer agent to record the transfer of the Purchased Shares.

(d)       Sophisticated Purchaser. Such Purchaser (1) is a sophisticated person with respect to the purchase of the Purchased Shares; (2) is able to bear the economic risk associated with the purchase of the Purchased Shares; (3) has such knowledge and experience, and has made investments of a similar nature, so as to be aware of the risks and uncertainties inherent in transactions of the type contemplated in this Agreement; and (4) has independently and without reliance upon the Sellers, and based on such information as such Purchaser has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, except that such Purchaser has relied upon the Sellers’ express representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement.

 -5- 

 

 

(e)       Securities Act. Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that such Purchased Shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to a duly available exemption from such registration requirements. Such Purchaser is purchasing the Purchased Shares for its own account and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in a manner that would violate the Securities Act.  In making any subsequent offering or sale of the Purchased Shares, such Purchaser will be acting only for itself and not as part of a sale or planned distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is aware that it must bear the risk of an investment in the Purchased Shares and such Purchaser is able to bear such risk. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the acquisition of the Purchased Shares and, having had access to or having been furnished with all such information as it has considered necessary, has concluded that it is able to bear those risks. The purchase of the Purchased Shares by such Purchaser is not part of a plan or scheme on the part of such Purchaser to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Purchased Shares were not offered and are not being sold to the Purchasers by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

(f)       Litigation. Other than the Disclosed Proceeding, there is no Proceeding pending or, to the Purchasers’ knowledge, threatened against the Purchasers, which would, or would reasonably be expected to, adversely affect the validity of, or prevent the consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g)       Brokers. Such Purchaser has not, directly, or indirectly, engaged any Person acting in the capacity of a finder or broker, nor has such Purchaser incurred any obligations for any finder’s, broker’s fee, commission or similar fees, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.       Excluded Information.

(a)       Each Seller and each Purchaser (the “Representing Party”) understands and acknowledges that the other party (the “Other Party”) and/or one or more of the other party’s affiliates may be in possession of non-public information relating to the Company or the Purchased Shares not known to such Other Party, including, without limitation, information received from or on behalf of the Company or its representatives or other sources on a confidential basis and information received on a privileged basis (collectively, the “Excluded Information”). The Excluded Information may include, without limitation, information relating to the Company’s financial condition (including historic and projected financial and other information), future capital expenditures, future prospects, projections, business strategies, litigation, settlement discussions, negotiations, restructurings, corporate acquisition or disposition plans, financings, backlog and prospects, statuses of projects, information received through the Company or its representatives, which information such Representing Party has not disclosed to such Other

 -6- 

 

 

Party. Each Other Party acknowledges that the Excluded Information may be (i) indicative of a value of the Purchased Shares that is substantially more or less than the Purchase Price or otherwise adverse to such Other Party or/and (ii) material to such Purchaser’s decision to purchase the Purchased Shares and to such Seller’s decision to sell the Purchased Shares. The Excluded Information is not being disclosed by or on behalf of the Other Party to the Representing Party. Each Representing Party agrees that each Other Party and its affiliates shall not be obligated to disclose any Excluded Information to such Representing Party, nor be deemed to have relied on the Excluded Information by virtue of its purchase or sale of the Purchased Shares.

(b)       Each Representing Party represents and acknowledges that it determined to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for its own business purposes, notwithstanding each Other Party’s and its affiliates’ possession of the Excluded Information and the non-disclosure thereof, and agrees that none of such Other Party, its affiliates or any of their representatives shall have any liability to such Representing Party or its affiliates and such Representing Party hereby to the extent permitted by law waives and releases any claims that such Representing Party or any of its affiliates may have against such Other Party or any of its affiliates or representatives with respect to the non-disclosure of the Excluded Information; provided that the Excluded Information shall not and does not affect the truth or accuracy of the representations or warranties of such Other Party expressly set forth in this Agreement.

5.       Conditions to Purchasers’ Obligation to Purchase. Each Seller acknowledges that each Purchaser’s obligation to pay to such Seller the applicable Purchase Price in exchange for the Purchased Shares on the Closing Date is conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent on or before the Closing Date (any or all of which may be waived by each Purchaser in its sole discretion):

(a)       no Proceeding by a governmental entity shall be pending or threatened which seeks to restrain or prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no governmental entity having jurisdiction over any party shall have issued any order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(b)       the Sellers shall have completed an underwritten public offering and/or other sale of common stock of the Company held by them and received at least $60,000,000 of proceeds (before underwriting discounts and commissions) from such offering and/or sale by no later than February 26, 2021 (the “Contemplated Sale”);

(c)       the representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date, and each Seller shall have performed in all material respects all covenants and agreements of such Seller contained herein required to be performed by such Seller on or before the Closing Date (and a duly authorized officer of the Sellers shall deliver a duly executed certificate to the Purchasers certifying the same); and

 

 -7- 

 

 

(d)       the Series A COD shall not have been amended since the date of this Agreement (other than with the prior written consent of the Purchasers.)

6.       Conditions to the Sellers’ Obligation to Sell. Each Purchaser understands that each Seller’s obligation to sell and deliver to such Purchaser the Attributable Purchased Shares for the applicable Purchase Price on the Closing Date is conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent on or before the Closing Date (any or all of which may be waived by each Seller in its sole discretion):

(a)       no Proceeding by a governmental entity shall be pending or threatened which seeks to restrain or prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no governmental entity having jurisdiction over any party shall have issued any order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

 

(b)       the Sellers shall have consummated the Contemplated Sale;

(c)       each Purchaser has delivered the applicable Purchase Price to the applicable Seller or its designated account; and

(d)       the representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date, and each Seller shall have performed in all material respects all covenants and agreements of such Seller contained herein required to be performed by such Seller on or before the Closing Date (and a duly authorized officer of the Purchasers shall deliver a duly executed certificate to the Sellers certifying the same).

7.       Termination. The Purchasers or Sellers may terminate this agreement by delivery of a written notice to the other parties if (i) the Contemplated Sale has not been consummated by February 26, 2021 or (ii) the Closing has not occurred by March 3, 2021, and upon the valid termination of this Agreement no party shall have any liability under this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve any of the Sellers or the Purchasers of any liability for any willful breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement occurring prior to the valid termination of this Agreement.

8.       Contingent Payment.

(a)       In the event that at any time prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing (the date on which any redemption contemplated by this clause (a) is consummated, a “Series B-1 Redemption Date”), all or any part of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock is redeemed, or agreed with the Company in a definitive written agreement to be redeemed, for cash or debt securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or a successor entity thereof (and, for the avoidance of doubt, but subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 8(a), not if exchanged for another equity security) by the Company at the “Optional Redemption Price” (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated

 -8- 

 

 

Certificate of Designations of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock), each Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers (in cash, if the Optional Redemption Price is paid in cash, or, at the option of the Purchasers, in the form of the debt securities received by Purchasers if the Optional Redemption Price is paid by the Company in debt securities) the Series B-1 Contingent Payment Amount. “Series B-1 Contingent Payment Amount” shall mean an amount per share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock purchased by such Purchasers from the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and redeemed by the Company on the applicable Series B-1 Redemption Date equal to fifty percent (50%) of the difference (if, and only if such difference is positive) between (A) the Optional Redemption Price actually received by the Purchasers in exchange for each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company on such Series B-1 Redemption Date minus (B) the sum of (x) the applicable Purchase Price paid by the Purchasers to the Sellers hereunder for each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company on such Series B-1 Redemption Date, (y) any paid-in-kind dividends on such redeemed share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock since the Closing Date and (z) any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock as of the applicable Series B-1 Redemption Date. In the event that, prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock purchased by the Purchasers from the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement are exchanged by the Company for equity securities of the Company with a substantially similar redemption feature and subsequent to such exchange but prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing, such successor equity securities are redeemed by the Company for cash or debt securities at a price that is equivalent (subject to equitable adjustments on account of such exchange) to the Optional Redemption Price, then the obligations of Purchasers under the immediately preceding sentence shall apply mutatis mutandis to such redemption (but in no event shall the amount paid to the Sellers in respect of such redemption exceed the amount the Sellers would have been paid had the Series B-1 Preferred Stock been redeemed for cash or debt securities at the time of the exchange by Purchasers.) The Purchasers shall cause any affiliate transferee thereof to be bound by and comply with the terms of this Section 8(a).

(b)       In the event that at any time prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing (the date on which any redemption contemplated by this clause (b) is consummated, a “Series B-3 Redemption Date”), all or any part of the Series B-3 Preferred Stock is redeemed, or agreed with the Company in a definitive written agreement to be redeemed, for cash or debt securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or a successor entity thereof (and, for the avoidance of doubt, but subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 8(b), not if exchanged for another equity security) by the Company at the “Optional Redemption Price” (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B-3 Preferred Stock), each Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers (in cash, if the Optional Redemption Price is paid in cash, or, at the option of the Purchasers, in the form of the debt securities received by Purchasers if the Optional Redemption Price is paid by the Company in debt securities) the Series B-3 Contingent Payment Amount. “Series B-3 Contingent Payment Amount” shall mean an amount per share of Series B-3 Preferred Stock purchased by such Purchasers from the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and redeemed by the Company on the applicable Series B-3 Redemption Date equal to fifty percent (50%) of the difference (if, and only if such difference is positive) between (A) the Optional Redemption Price actually received by the Purchasers in exchange for each share of Series B-3 Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company on

such Series B-3 Redemption Date minus (B) the sum of (x) the applicable Purchase Price paid by the Purchasers to the Sellers hereunder for each share of Series B-3 Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company on such Series B-3 Redemption Date, (y) any paid-in-kind dividends on such redeemed share of Series B-3 Preferred Stock since the Closing Date and (z) any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share of Series B-3 Preferred Stock as of the applicable Series B-3 Redemption Date. In the event that, prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing, the Series B-3 Preferred Stock purchased by the Purchasers from the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement are exchanged by the Company for equity securities of the Company with a substantially similar redemption feature and subsequent to such exchange but prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing, such successor equity securities are redeemed by the Company for cash or debt securities at a price that is equivalent (subject to equitable adjustments on account of such exchange) to the Optional Redemption Price, then the obligations of Purchasers under the immediately preceding sentence shall apply mutatis mutandis to such redemption (but in no event shall the amount paid to the Sellers in respect of such redemption exceed the amount the Sellers would have been paid had the Series B-3 Preferred Stock been redeemed for cash or debt securities at the time of the exchange by Purchasers.) The Purchasers shall cause any affiliate transferee thereof to be bound by and comply with the terms of this Section 8(b).

(c)       Each payment due pursuant to Sections 7(a) and (b) shall be made in cash or debt securities, as applicable, within five (5) business days after the proceeds from a redemption on a Series B-1 Redemption Date or Series B-3 Redemption Date are actually received by the Purchasers by, in the case of cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions delivered by the Sellers to the Purchasers to each applicable Seller’s specified account.

(d)       The Purchasers shall not intentionally take any action or agree to structure any exchange of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock or the Series B-3 Preferred Stock with the intention of circumventing the Sellers’ right to receive the contingent payment pursuant to this Section 8.

9.       Sellers’ Covenants.

(a)       From the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, each Seller shall not, and shall not enter into any agreement (written or oral, contingent or otherwise), (i) to directly or indirectly, offer, sell, give, exchange, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, grant a security interest in, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of or take any similar action with respect to any Purchased Shares or any right or interest therein or (ii) that relates to the voting, a proxy or other similar actions with respect to the Purchased Shares, in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), without the prior written consent of each Purchaser, acting in its sole discretion.

(b)       No Seller shall exchange any shares of Series A Preferred Stock into any other security of the Company.

10.       Indemnity.

(a)       The Indemnitor shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Ares Special Situations Fund IV, L.P. and ASOF Holdings I, L.P. (each, the “Indemnified Purchaser”) and its respective affiliates and the Indemnified Purchaser’s and each of its affiliates’ respective directors, officers, managers, employees, equityholders, members, partners, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs, deficiencies, penalties, fines and/or expenses (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable documented out-of-pocket attorney’s fees, costs and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) as set forth on Schedule 10.

(b)       The Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (following the receipt of reasonable supporting documentation by the Indemnitor) for all reasonable out-of-pocket documented expenses as incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with its participation in the defense of any claims asserted in the Disclosed Proceeding, including the reasonable out-of-pocket documented expenses of one (1) counsel engaged by the Indemnified Party if either (i) the Indemnitor has not assumed the right to control the defense of an Indemnifiable Claim pursuant to Section 10(c) or (ii) the Indemnitor elects to control the defense of an Indemnifiable Claim pursuant to Section 10(c) and a Purchaser Indemnified Party has been advised by outside counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Purchaser Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor.

(c)       The Indemnitor shall have the right to control the defense of any claim or matter which may reasonably give rise to a claim for indemnification under this letter agreement (an “Indemnifiable Claim”) unless the Indemnifiable Claim would reasonably be expected to result in liability to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties that would not be indemnifiable under this Agreement. The Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to or otherwise compromise an Indemnifiable Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Purchasers (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such judgment or settlement involves any finding or admission of fact, culpability, failure or guilt or a violation of any Law by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or does not otherwise release the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from all liability thereunder without prejudice.

(i)       Organization and Authority. Indemnitor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Indemnitor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(ii)       Noncontravention. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by Indemnitor of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby does or would reasonably be expected to (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, license, lease or other agreement or instrument to which Indemnitor is a party or by which Indemnitor is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Indemnitor is subject, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws (or similar organizational documents) of Indemnitor, or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Indemnitor or the property or assets of Indemnitor, except, in the case of clause (i), as would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay Indemnitor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(iii)       Approvals and Filings. No authorization, approval or consent of, or filing with, any court, governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization, stock exchange or market or other third party is required to be obtained or made by Indemnitor in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.       No Other Representations or Warranties; Survival.

12.       Miscellaneous.

(a)       Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT (AND ANY CLAIMS OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN

 -12- 

 

 

CONTRACT, TORT OR STATUTE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter arising under, out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, may be brought in the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court shall be unavailable, then any federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto: (a) irrevocably submits itself to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such court, (b) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action, suit or proceeding and (c) waives any objection that such court is an inconvenient forum or does not have jurisdiction over such party. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR STATUTE).

(b)       Counterparts. This Purchase Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including via facsimile or other electronic method), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(c)       Entire Agreement; Benefit; Assignment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only the Purchasers, the Sellers and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that each Purchaser may assign its rights, interests or obligations hereunder, including its right or obligation to purchase all or a portion of the Purchased Shares set forth on Exhibit A, to its affiliates, provided, that (i) such assignment shall not relieve the Purchasers from their obligations hereunder and (ii) as a condition to such assignment, any such permitted assignee shall agree to be bound by the Purchasers’ obligations pursuant to Section 8. Any assignment in contravention of this clause (c) shall be null and void ab initio.

(d)       Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by each of the parties hereto. Any failure of a Purchaser to comply with any obligation, agreement or condition under this Purchase Agreement may only be waived in writing by the Sellers, and any failure of a Seller or the Indemnitor to

 -13- 

 

 

comply with any obligation, agreement or condition under this Agreement may only be waived in writing by the Purchasers, but any such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. No failure by a party to take any action against any breach of this Agreement or default by another party shall constitute a waiver of such party’s right to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to take any such action.

(e)       Further Assurances. Each party to this Agreement will perform any and all acts and execute any and all documents as may be necessary and proper under the circumstances in order to accomplish the intents and purposes of this Agreement and to carry out its provisions, at any time and from time to time from and after the Closing Date.

Re: Infrastructure & Energy Alternatives, Inc. Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned understands that you, as Representative of the several Underwriters, propose to enter into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Infrastructure & Energy Alternatives, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, LLC, providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company (the “Shares”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

 

In order to induce you and the Underwriters to underwrite the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters, during the period from the date hereof until 90 days from the date of the final prospectus supplement for the Public Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, and will not cause any direct or indirect affiliate to, directly or indirectly, (a) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) (collectively with the Common Stock, the “Relevant Securities”), (b) enter into any hedging, swap or other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Relevant Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Relevant Securities, in cash or otherwise, (c) make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Relevant Securities, or (d) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing precludes the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or

 

 

 

 

instrument, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition or transfer (whether by the undersigned or any other person) of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any Relevant Securities, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Relevant Securities, in cash or otherwise.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may:

 

(a)transfer the undersigned’s Relevant Securities during the Lock-Up Period:

 

(i)as a bona fide gift or gifts, charitable contribution or contributions or for bona fide estate planning purposes;

 

(ii)by will, intestacy or other applicable laws of descent, or by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement;

 

(iii)to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, or if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust (for purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, current or former marriage, domestic partnership or adoption, not more remote than first cousin);

 

(iv)to limited partners, general partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned or to the undersigned’s affiliates or to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, business entity or investment fund, customer account or other entity controlled by or under common control or management with the undersigned;

 

(v)to a nominee or custodian of the undersigned or of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (iv) above;

 

provided that (A) such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and each donee, devisee, transferee or distributee shall execute and deliver to the Representative a lock-up letter in the form of this Lock-Up Agreement for the remainder of the Lock-Up Period and (B) except for any transfer pursuant to subsection (iv) above, no filing by any party (donor, donee, devisee, transferor, transferee, distributer or distributee) under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or distribution (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period referred to above), unless such public filing or announcement shall be legally required during the Lock-Up Period, then such public filing or announcement shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the transaction was not a disposition for value and the nature and conditions of such transfer; and

 

 

 

 

(b)transfer the undersigned’s Relevant Securities in response to a bona fide third party take-over bid made to all holders of Common Stock or any other acquisition transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Common Stock are acquired by a bona fide third party; provided that if such take-over bid or other acquisition transaction is unsuccessful, such Common Stock may not be transferred until after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period;

 

(c)make bona fide pledges of the undersigned’s Relevant Securities entered into by the undersigned in the ordinary course of business;

 

(d)establish a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of the undersigned’s Relevant Securities, provided that (i) beginning on a date that is 75 days after the date of the Prospectus, such plan allows for the transfer of no more than 5% of the Relevant Securities held by the undersigned as of the date of the Prospectus, only if such transfers are at a price above the public offering price for the Public Offering and (ii) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or any other public announcement by or on behalf of the undersigned shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period in connection with such trading plan (except with respect to sales permitted under this subsection (d) then unless such public filing or announcement shall be legally required during the Lock-Up Period, then such public filing or announcement shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto the nature and conditions of such transfer);

 

(e)transfer the undersigned’s Relevant Securities to the Company for the primary purpose of satisfying any tax or other governmental withholding obligation with respect to Relevant Securities issued in connection with any award of equity-based compensation granted pursuant to the Company’s existing equity incentive plans described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a Relevant Security;

 

(f)transfers of shares of Common Stock to the Company upon the “net” or “cashless” exercise of stock options or other equity awards granted pursuant to equity incentive plans described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, provided that any such shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise shall be subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement;

 

(g)transfer any of the undersigned’s Relevant Securities acquired after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or any other public announcement by or on behalf of the undersigned shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period in connection with such transfer;

 

(h)transfer preferred stock of the Company to affiliated funds, investment vehicles, managed accounts and/or other affiliates of Ares Management, LLC pursuant to the securities purchase agreement as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package, provided that each transferee shall execute and deliver to the Representative a lock-up letter in the form of this Lock-Up Agreement for the remainder of the Lock-Up Period;

 

 

 

 

(i)transfer warrants of the Company by the undersigned to the Company in connection with the exercise therewith; provided that any shares of Common Stock received from such exercise shall be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement;

 

(j)transfer preferred stock of the Company by the undersigned to the Company in connection with the conversion thereof; provided that any shares of Common Stock received from such conversion shall be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement; and

 

(k)sell the Shares to be sold by the undersigned pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, if applicable.

 

The undersigned hereby authorizes the Company during the Lock-Up Period to cause any transfer agent for the Relevant Securities to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, Relevant Securities for which the undersigned is the record holder and, in the case of Relevant Securities for which the undersigned is the beneficial but not the record holder, agrees during the Lock-Up Period to cause the record holder to cause the relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, such Relevant Securities.

 

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.

 

The undersigned acknowledges that the individuals and entities listed on Schedule IV of the Underwriting Agreement (collectively, such individuals and entities other than the undersigned, the “Other Lock-Up Parties”) are entering into Lock-Up Agreements pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if any Other Lock-Up Party is released, in full or in part, from any of the restrictions set forth in their Lock-Up Agreement, then the undersigned shall automatically be released on the same terms, and for the same pro rata percentage (which shall be calculated on the basis of all Relevant Securities beneficially owned by such Other Lock-Party) of Relevant Securities beneficially owned by the undersigned, from such restrictions contained in this Letter Agreement; and (ii) if any restrictions in a Lock-Up Agreement of an Other Lock-Up Party is modified in a manner favorable to such Other Lock-Up Party, then this Lock-Up Agreement shall automatically be modified in the same manner. On behalf of the Underwriters, you shall provide immediate notice to the undersigned upon the occurrence of an event under clause (i) or clause (ii).

 

The undersigned understands that, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective by February 12, 2021 or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Common Stock to be sold thereunder, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Lock-Up Agreement. The undersigned understands that the Underwriters are entering into the Underwriting Agreement and proceeding with the Public Offering in reliance upon this Lock-Up Agreement.
