ARTICLE 6.

Measurement

6.1 Metering and Measurement. Developer shall install and maintain the equipment necessary to measure the MMbtu value and flow of Landfill Gas made available by Republic to Developer at the Delivery Point and the MMbtu value and flow of Biomethane generated from the Developer Facility. The delivery of Landfill Gas and the production of Biomethane shall be measured in MMbtus utilizing the following main components provided and maintained at the sole cost and expense of Developer, with the specific metering devices being subject to the reasonable approval of Republic: [***]. Such equipment must be installed and operated, and gas measurement computations must be made, in accordance with current industry standards and good engineering practices, and shall be located as close to the Delivery Point of the Landfill Gas and the Sales Point of the Biomethane as reasonably practicable. Republic may, at its option and expense, install and operate meters, instruments, and other equipment to verify the accuracy of Developer’s measuring equipment, but such equipment must not interfere materially with the operation of Developer’s measuring equipment or the Developer Facility. The check equipment installed by Republic, if any, is subject at all reasonable times to inspection or examination by Developer, but the calibration and adjustment thereof may be performed only by employees or agents of Republic. Notwithstanding Republic’s right to install its own check equipment, the measurement of Landfill Gas and/or Biomethane for the purposes of this Agreement will be performed only by Developer’s measuring equipment. Developer, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep the metering equipment of Developer accurate and in repair, making a minimum of one (1) test each six (6) months during the term of this Agreement. Each party shall have the right to have its representatives and agents present at any installing, reading, cleaning, changing, repairing, inspecting, testing, calibrating, or adjusting done in connection with the metering equipment used for measuring Landfill Gas and Biomethane hereunder. Developer shall give Republic at least three (3) business days advance notice of any such activities so that Republic may have its representative(s) present; provided, however, that if Developer gives such notice and a representative of Republic is not present at the time specified, Developer may proceed. Tests to verify the accuracy of measuring equipment shall be performed by the manufacturer of the equipment, or other third party reasonably acceptable to Republic, and the result of each test shall continue to be used until the results of a subsequent test are known. In addition, Republic may request a special test of the metering equipment at any time. The expense of any such special test shall be borne by Republic if the equipment is found to be inaccurate by [***] percent ([***]%) or less; otherwise such expense shall be borne by Developer. If, upon any test, the equipment measuring the Biomethane produced by the Developer Facility is found to be inaccurate by more than [***]percent ([***]%), meter readings shall be corrected for a period extending back to the time such inaccuracy first occurred, if that time can be ascertained. If that time is not ascertainable, corrections shall be made for [***] of the elapsed time since a previous meter test verified operation within [***] percent ([***]%) accuracy. No adjustment to any payments will be made with respect to meter errors of two percent ([***]%) [***]. If any equipment requires replacement, Developer shall replace it promptly with a similar or more accurate type of equipment, subject to Republic’s reasonable approval.

- 23 -

6.2 System Conditions. The parties recognize that moisture, pressure, or other conditions within the system may prevent available metering equipment from maintaining proper calibrations. If such conditions persist, the parties will attempt to determine by mutual agreement a protocol for estimating Landfill Gas and Biomethane deliveries using such data as is available. If the parties cannot so mutually agree, they will appoint a mutually acceptable third party consultant and will share equally the cost of such consultant, and will accept the recommendations of such consultant in estimating Biomethane and Landfill Gas deliveries thereafter.

6.3 Specific Metering Issues. For purposes of this Agreement, atmospheric pressure is assumed, unless otherwise established by the standard gas measurement procedures in the industry, to be 14.74 psia. In addition, the specific gravity and the gross heating value of the gas flowing through the meter(s) may be determined by “on-site” sampling and laboratory analysis or by any other method that is of standard industry practice. The unit of measurement is one cubic foot at a pressure base of 14.74 psia and at a temperature base of sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit. Meter measurements will be computed by Developer into such units in accordance with the ideal gas laws for volume variations due to metered pressure and corrected for deviation using average values of recorded specific gravity and flowing temperature.

ARTICLE 7.

Default and Damages

7.1 Event of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions with respect to a party shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

(a) Republic fails to receive from Developer when due and payable any payment or amount due under this Agreement within ten (10) days after giving written notice to Developer of the nonpayment.

(b) Developer’s failure to complete any of the Project Milestones by the assigned date, subject to any period of delay caused by a Force Majeure, subject to the provisions in Section 3.1 regarding the suspension of Republic’s termination right. If Republic waives an Event of Default involving any particular Project Milestone, such waiver shall not affect or act to extend the date for performance of any other Project Milestone.

(c) Failure of either party to satisfy and perform any of the other obligations (such obligations not covered by items (a), (b), (d), (e) or (f) hereof) imposed on it by the terms, covenants or promises of this Agreement, and such failure is not cured to the other party’s reasonable satisfaction within sixty (60) days after receipt of a Notice of Default specifying the nature of the failure; provided, however, no party shall have the right to cure any nonperformance under this Agreement if any substantially similar nonperformance by such party has occurred two (2) times or more within the six (6)-month period preceding the occurrence of the then-current nonperformance. If a Nonmonetary Default occurs, then, so long as the defaulting party has begun all reasonable efforts to cure such failure and within sixty (60) days after the Notice of Default is diligently pursuing the curing of the failure, the defaulting party shall have an additional period of ninety (90) days from receipt of such Notice of Default (or one hundred and fifty (150) days total) within which to cure the Nonmonetary Default. Lack of finances or lack of financial resources of the party claiming that a failure is a Nonmonetary Default shall never excuse the payment of money nor cause a failure to constitute a Nonmonetary Default, nor shall it be considered an event of Force Majeure.

- 24 -

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (c) above, if any breach or default by Developer under this Agreement subjects Republic to any risk of loss, liabilities, legal actions, penalties, fines, etc., with respect to any permits, licenses or authorization relating to Republic’s primary activities as provided in Section 2.6 of this Agreement, Developer’s right to cure shall be for a period equal to the lesser of ten (10) business days or such lesser period as may be mandated by any applicable regulatory authority with respect to Republic’s obligation to cure or rectify any violations relating to is permits, licenses, or other authorizations. Any Notice of Default given pursuant to this Section shall include a specific reference to this Section.

(e) (i) Either party becomes insolvent or unable to pay its debts when due; generally fails to pay its debts when due; files a petition in any bankruptcy, reorganization, winding up, or liquidation proceeding or other proceeding analogous in purpose or effect relating to such party; applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or other custodian for the bankruptcy, reorganization, winding up or liquidation of such party; makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or admits in writing that it is unable to pay its debts; (ii) any court order or judgment is entered confirming the bankruptcy or insolvency of Developer or Republic, or approving any reorganization, winding up or liquidation of Developer or Republic or a substantial portion of its assets; (iii) there is instituted against Developer or Republic any bankruptcy, reorganization, winding up or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding analogous in purpose or effect, and the same is not dismissed within (90) days after the institution thereof; or (iv) a receiver, trustee or other custodian is appointed for any part of the assets of Developer or Republic.

(f) A default or breach has occurred and not been cured (to the extent applicable) under the Site Lease and/or the Guaranty of even date herewith.

(c) Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, proceed to protect and enforce any or all of its rights and remedies under this Agreement and to exercise any and all other rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or by statute.

7.4 Early Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (i) any regulatory or legislative body with jurisdiction over Developer’s activities at the Landfill prohibits Developer’s use of Landfill Gas to produce Biomethane, or materially and adversely affects the economics of such production of Biomethane by Developer, or (ii) there occurs a change in Applicable Laws that materially and adversely affects Developer’s operations relating to this Agreement or the economic viability of the project, or (iii) there is insufficient Processable Landfill Gas (whether considering the quantity and/or quality of Landfill Gas) available to provide Developer sufficient Processable Landfill Gas to operate the Developer Facility on a monthly basis at [***] percent ([***]%) of its Existing Design Capacity for [***] period, Developer may terminate this Agreement [***]. Similarly, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (x) any regulatory or legislative body with jurisdiction over Republic’s activities at the Landfill prohibits Republic’s sale of Landfill Gas, or materially and adversely affects the economics of such sale of Landfill Gas to Developer, (y) Developer only pays Republic the Minimum Payment for [***] of any [***] period during the Term; or (z) there occurs a change in Applicable Laws that materially and adversely affects Republic’s rights and operations relating to this Agreement, Republic may terminate this Agreement [***].

The foregoing limitation relating to commercial availability shall not limit the obligation of Developer to maintain the initial types and amounts of insurance required hereunder.

9.4 Right to Obtain Insurance. If either party fails to maintain any insurance required hereunder, the other party may, at such party’s election, after ten (10) days written notice to the other party, procure the same, it being hereby expressly covenanted and agreed that payment by such party of any such premium shall not be deemed to waive or release the obligation of the other party to make payment thereof.

Developer shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against Republic and its affiliates and subsidiaries and their representatives in connection with any damage covered by any policy of Developer.

10.11 Successors and Assigns.

(a) In General. This Agreement and all of the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided herein, neither party hereto shall assign this Agreement nor any interest herein without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Republic may assign all of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder to a third party purchaser of (1) the Landfill, (2) Republic, or (3) substantially all of the assets of Republic without the consent of Developer (provided that any such purchaser agrees in a writing to assume all of Republic’s duties and obligations hereunder). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and in no way limiting the foregoing, Developer acknowledges and agrees that Republic’s refusal to consent to a proposed assignment by Developer shall not be deemed unreasonable if, among other things, (i) Republic, or any of its Affiliates, has a significant or material history of litigation or disputes involving the proposed assignee or any of its Affiliates; (ii) the proposed assignee is, or is an Affiliate of, a competitor of Republic, its parent company or Affiliates, in the waste disposal or waste hauling business; (iii) the proposed assignee is not considered creditworthy by Republic in

- 32 -

its reasonable judgment, which, at a minimum, means having financial capability that is not less than the financial capability of Developer as of the Effective Date, taking into account other financial assurances provided by Developer in this Agreement; or (iv) the proposed assignee does not, in Republic’s reasonable judgment, have the requisite technical experience relating to the assumption of Developer’s obligations hereunder.

(b) Collateral Assignment. Notwithstanding Section 10.11(a) above, upon the giving of written notice to the other party, either party may assign this Agreement to a Collateral Assignee pursuant to a form of collateral assignment reasonably acceptable to the non-assigning party; provided that the party requesting the collateral assignment shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of the non-assigning party relating to the review and negotiation of a mutually acceptable form of collateral assignment. Any collateral assignment hereunder shall acknowledge the right, but not the obligation, of the Collateral Assignee or its permitted assignee under the collateral assignment to take all actions and exercise all rights of the assigning party in accordance with this Agreement, to have itself or its permitted assignee substituted for the assigning party under this Agreement, or to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Agreement to a permitted assignee; provided that, at a minimum, any subsequent sale, assignment, or transfer of this Agreement to any third party other than Collateral Assignee shall be subject to the same limitations and restrictions on transfer and assignment as set forth in paragraph (a) above, and provided that no such sale, transfer or assignment shall be made unless all obligations of the assigning party hereunder are current or are brought current at the time of such sale, transfer or assignment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither party shall terminate this Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder as the result of any default of the other party under this Agreement until after notice of such default is given by the party claiming the default to the Collateral Assignee and the expiration of any cure periods provided for in this Agreement, which cure periods shall begin to run from the time notice is given to the alleged defaulting party. Any process, stay or injunction issued by any Government Entity or pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving a party that would prohibit the Collateral Assignee from exercising such cure rights shall extend such cure periods for the period of such prohibition and if this Agreement is rejected or otherwise terminated as a result of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding affecting the assigning party, the nonassigning party will, at the request of the Collateral Assignee, enter into a new agreement with Collateral Assignee or a permitted assignee thereof having terms no less favorable to the nonassigning party than the terms of this Agreement; provided that any obligations of the assigning party that were outstanding at the time of any such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding are paid in full or brought current, as the case may be, at the time any such new agreement is entered into (without taking into account the effect of any such bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings).

(c) Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the direct or indirect sale or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the membership interests of Developer to an unrelated third party, or a transfer to an unrelated third party of the power to direct or cause the direction of the day-to-day management and policies of Developer, shall be deemed to be an assignment of Developer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and subject to the provisions of this Section 10.11; provided that in the event of a change of control that involves the sale of a substantive parent of Developer (i.e., a parent organization that controls significant assets and operations similar to those of Developer other than just Developer itself, such as, by way of example only, Montauk Energy Capital, LLC, or Montauk Energy Holdings, LLC, as they exist as of the date of this Agreement) to an unrelated third party in an arm’s length transaction, the provisions of Section 10.11(a)(iii) and (iv) shall not apply.

- 33 -

10.12 Interpretation. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are not to be construed more liberally in favor of, nor more strictly against, either party. To the extent the covenants of the parties under this Agreement create obligations that extend beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement (including, without limitation Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 7.6, and Articles 3, 9 and 10), the applicable provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to survive such termination or expiration for the limited purpose of enforcing such covenants and obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The receiving party shall notify any Recipients of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and the receiving party hereby agrees to be responsible for any breach of the terms of this Section by any Recipients of Confidential Information from the receiving party.

(b) If a party is legally required to disclose Confidential Information by Applicable Law, the receiving party shall make reasonable efforts to resist disclosure of such information, and shall provide prompt notice of any judicial or other governmental action or other Applicable Law requiring disclosure to the disclosing party, and the disclosing party shall be afforded the opportunity (consistent with the legal obligations of the receiving party) to exhaust all reasonable legal remedies to maintain the Confidential Information in confidence.

(c) In the event that there is a breach by either party of the provisions of this Article, the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek a temporary and permanent injunction to restrain the receiving party from disclosing in whole or in part any Confidential Information, as prohibited hereunder, and the disclosing party shall be entitled to reimbursement for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, in connection therewith. Nothing in this Article shall be construed as prohibiting the disclosing party from pursuing such other remedies available to it for such breach including the recovery of damages from the receiving party.

- 34 -

(d) Upon the expiration of the term or the earlier termination of this Agreement, each party shall, promptly upon request, return or cause to be returned to the other party (i) all Confidential Information then held by such or any of its agents, representatives or employees, and (ii) all information and documents then held by Developer or any of its agents, representatives or employees related to the quantity, quality, components and elements of the Landfill Gas produced by the Landfill; provided that both parties may retain one copy of any documents retained solely for the purpose of compliance with Applicable Law or internal document retention policies.

10.16 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assignees and is not intended to and shall not confer any rights or benefits on any other third party not a signatory hereto, except as explicitly provided in Section 10.11 of this Agreement with respect to certain lenders.

10.17 Waiver of Damages. Neither party hereunder shall be liable to the other party for any special, indirect, loss of use, lost profits, or consequential (other than actual and direct) damages arising under or out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein.

10.18 Publicity and Corporate Identity. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, neither party may use the name, trade name, trademarks, service marks, or logos of the other party or the existence of this Agreement or the project described herein or any likeness, photo, film or similar like kind reproduction of the other’s facilities or property in any publicity releases, news releases, annual reports, signage, stationery, print literature, advertising, or websites without securing the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, neither party shall issue any publicity or news release regarding the Developer Facility or project at the Landfill without the written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The parties shall not, without prior written consent of the other party, represent, directly or indirectly, that any product or service offered by the party has been approved or endorsed by the other party.

10.19 Guaranty and Site Lease. Developer agrees that upon the Effective Date (a) the Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Republic the Guaranty, under which the Guarantor shall guaranty the performance and payment obligations of Developer under this Agreement and the Site Lease, attached hereto as Exhibit C, and (b) the parties shall execute and deliver to each other the Site Lease, under which Developer, as Lessee, leases from Republic, as Lessor, the Site located at the Landfill and obtains easement rights to access the Facility, attached hereto as Exhibit D.
