If the Adjustment Amount reflected in the Closing Certificate is positive, Purchaser shall pay the Adjustment Amount to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by Seller.

(b) After receipt of the Closing Certificate, Seller and its representatives shall have reasonable access to all relevant books and records (including accountant work papers), accountants, officers and employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries solely for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Certificate in accordance with this Agreement. If, within forty-five (45) days following the delivery of the Closing Certificate, Seller has not given Purchaser notice of its objection to any item in the Closing Certificate reasonably detailing the basis of such objection (an “Objection Notice”), then the Closing Certificate shall be deemed final and binding on Purchaser and Seller. If Seller delivers an Objection Notice, then Purchaser and Seller shall consult in good faith to resolve the disputed items set forth in the Objection Notice and, if any disputed items have not been resolved within thirty (30) days following delivery of such notice, from and after such time either Seller or Purchaser may submit the remaining disputed items to one of PwC, EY or KPMG as agreed upon in writing by Seller and Purchaser or, if such firm is unable to serve in such capacity, to such other nationally recognized independent accounting firm that is mutually agreeable to Seller and Purchaser (the “Accountant”) or, if no such agreement can be reached, Seller and Purchaser each shall, within ten (10) days thereof, select a candidate for the Accountant and the two candidates so selected shall promptly select a third

nationally recognized independent accounting firm which shall be appointed as the Accountant. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accountant shall be limited to fixing mathematical errors and determining whether the items in dispute were determined in accordance with the definitions of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital, Target Net Working Capital and Seller Transaction Expenses and the methodology set forth on Exhibit C without regard to materiality, and the Accountant is not to make any other determination and shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. If any items in dispute are submitted to the Accountant for resolution: (x) Seller and Purchaser shall use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Accountant to resolve all remaining disagreements with respect to the Closing Certificate as soon as practicable but in any event shall direct the Accountant to render a determination within ninety (90) days after its retention; (y) Seller and Purchaser shall furnish to the Accountant and each other such work papers and other documents and information relating solely to the disputed issues as the Accountant may request and are available to that party (including, in the case of Purchaser, the Company and the Subsidiaries or their accountants), and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountant any materials relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Accountant, provided, that copies of all such materials are concurrently provided to the other party and that such discussions may only occur in the presence (including by telephone) of the other party, provided, further, that the Accountant shall consider only those items and amounts which are identified as being in dispute; and (z) the determination by the Accountant of the disputed items in the Closing Certificate, as shall be set forth in a notice delivered to both parties by the Accountant, shall be binding and conclusive on the parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The fees of the Accountant for such determination shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in proportion to the portion of the aggregate amount in dispute that is finally resolved by the Accountant in a manner adverse to such party. For example, if Purchaser claims the appropriate adjustments are $1,000, and Seller contests $500 of the amount claimed by Purchaser, and if the Accountant ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Purchaser $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Accountant will be allocated sixty percent (60%) (i.e., 300/500) to Seller and forty percent (40%) (i.e., 200/500) to Purchaser.

(c) The Closing Date Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows (without duplication): (i)(A) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital, as finally determined (“Final Net Working Capital”), is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, as finally determined or (B) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, as finally determined; (ii)(A) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Indebtedness, as finally determined (“Final Indebtedness”), is less than the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness or (B) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final Indebtedness is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness; (iii)(A) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Cash, as finally determined (“Final Cash”), is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Cash or (B) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final Cash is less than the Estimated Closing Date Cash; (iv)(A) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Seller Transaction Expenses, as

finally determined (“Final Seller Transaction Expenses”), are greater than the Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses or (B) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Seller Transaction Expenses are less than the Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses; (v)(A) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Seller Severance Expenses, as finally determined (“Final Seller Severance Expenses”), are greater than the Estimated Seller Severance Expenses or (B) decreased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Seller Severance Expenses are less than the Estimated Seller Severance Expenses; (vi) increased by the amount, if any, by which the CapEx Spend Adjustment, as finally determined (“Final CapEx Spend Adjustment”), is greater than the Estimated CapEx Spend Adjustment or (B) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final CapEx Spend Adjustment is less than the Estimated CapEx Spend Adjustment; and (vii) increased by the amount, if any, by which the 2016 Cash Flow Adjustment, as finally determined (“Final 2016 Cash Flow Adjustment”), is greater than the Estimated 2016 Cash Flow Adjustment or (B) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final 2016 Cash Flow Adjustment is less than the Estimated 2016 Cash Flow Adjustment.

(d) No later than the second Business Day following the final determination of the Adjustment Amount:

(i) if the Adjustment Amount is greater than the amount (if any) actually paid by Purchaser pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.3(a), Purchaser shall pay such positive Adjustment Amount (less the portion already paid to Seller pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.3(a)) to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds into the account designated by Seller; or

(ii) if the Adjustment Amount is negative, Seller shall pay the absolute value of such negative Adjustment Amount to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds into the account designated by Purchaser.

(e) The Adjustment Amount shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for income Tax purposes.

(d) by Seller, if Purchaser breaches any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or breaches or fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would render a condition precedent to Seller’s obligations to consummate the contemplated transactions set forth in Section 9.2 not capable of being satisfied, and (ii) after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure to perform to Purchaser by Seller, cannot be cured or has not been cured by the earlier of the Termination Date and thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 4.3(d) shall not be available to Seller if Seller or the Company is then in breach in any material respect of any of its obligations hereunder;

(e) by Purchaser, if Seller or the Company breaches any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or breaches or fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would render a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the contemplated transactions set forth in Section 9.1 not capable of being satisfied, and (ii) after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure to perform to Seller by Purchaser, cannot be cured or has not been cured by the earlier of the Termination Date and thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 4.3(e) shall not be available to Purchaser if Purchaser is then in breach in any material respect of any of its obligations hereunder; or

(a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.3, written notice of such termination (including specific reference to the provision in Section 4.3 pursuant to which this Agreement is being terminated) shall be given by the terminating party to the other party or parties. In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 4.3, except as provided in Section 4.5, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect and each of the parties (together with their respective directors, officers, employees,

partners and stockholders) shall be relieved of their duties, obligations and liabilities based upon or arising under this Agreement, the Related Documents or the Related Claims, in each case, whether arising before or after such termination, and such termination shall be without liability to any such Person; provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to such termination; provided, further, that the obligations of the parties set forth in Section 4.4, Section 4.5, Section 8.6, Section 8.8 and ARTICLE XI shall survive any such termination and shall be enforceable hereunder.

(b) Except with the prior written consent of the Company, during the period from the date hereof through the earlier of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the date that is three (3) years following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3, Purchaser shall not directly or indirectly, through any Affiliate, officer, director, agent or otherwise, solicit the employment of or employ or retain as a consultant any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates who is a management-level employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates as of the date hereof or at any time during such period (provided, however, that the hiring of any such employee through the use of general advertisements in publications or the hiring of any individual who is no longer an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to violate the foregoing provisions).

4.5 Reverse Termination Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated: (i) by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to Section 4.3(c) (if, and only if, the applicable Order giving rise to such termination arises in connection with FERC’s approval of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Power Act, the approval of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Public Utility Commission of Texas or in connection with the condition set forth in Section 9.1(d) and Section 9.2(d)); (ii) by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to Section 4.3(a) and, in the case of this clause (ii), at the time of such termination, FERC’s approval of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Power Act has not been obtained, the approval of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Public Utility Commission of Texas has not been obtained or the condition set forth in Sections 9.1(d) or 9.2(d) has not been satisfied; (iii) by Seller pursuant to Section 4.3(d), and in each case of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), at the time of such termination, all of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1(a), 9.1(b), 9.1(c) (except for any nonsatisfaction arising in connection with FERC’s approval of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Power Act, the approval of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Public Utility Commission of Texas or in connection with the condition set forth in Section 9.1(d)), 9.1(e) (other than the receipt of FERC’s approval of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Power Act or the approval of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Public Utility Commission of Texas), 9.1(f), 9.1(g) and 9.1(h) have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing and are capable of being satisfied assuming a Closing would occur); or (iv) by Seller pursuant to Section 4.3(f), then Purchaser shall pay to the Company or its designee a fee in an amount equal to $132,000,000 (the “Reverse Termination

Fee”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company. The Reverse Termination Fee shall be paid no later than three (3) Business Days after any such notice of termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to promptly pay the Reverse Termination Fee when due pursuant to this Section 4.5(a), then interest shall accrue on the amount of the Reverse Termination Fee from the date such payment was required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect from time to time during such period. In addition, if Purchaser fails to pay the Reverse Termination Fee when due, Purchaser also shall pay to the Company all of Seller’s and the Company’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with efforts to collect the Reverse Termination Fee and interest thereon.

(b) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 4.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without such agreements, Seller and the Company would not enter into this Agreement and (ii) payment by Purchaser of the Reverse Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller and the Company for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement, relying on this Agreement and expecting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Without in any way limiting the Company’s rights set forth in Section 4.5(c), the parties agree that, in the event that this Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Reverse Termination Fee is payable, the Reverse Termination Fee (together with the interest obligations and cost and expense reimbursement obligations set forth in Section 4.5(a)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates and equity holders against (A) Purchaser, (B) the former, current and future holders of any equity interest in or the controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, Affiliates, stockholders or assignees of Purchaser, (C) any future holders of any equity interest or any future controlling person, director, officer, employee, agent, attorney, representative, Affiliate or stockholder of any of the foregoing or (D) any Financing Source or the Sponsor (the Persons described in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above, collectively, the “Purchaser Group”), for any Loss suffered by Seller, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the Related Documents, the Related Claims or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the abandonment or termination of this Agreement, the Related Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby). Further, upon payment of the Reverse Termination Fee and, if applicable, the interest, costs and expenses required pursuant to Section 4.5(a), the Purchaser Group shall have no further liability to Seller, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or equity holders based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the Related Documents, the Related Claims or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the abandonment or termination of this Agreement, the Related Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby).

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Purchaser fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement after satisfaction or waiver of all

of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 in breach of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, Seller may, in its sole discretion: (i) seek specific performance pursuant to Section 11.11; (ii) withdraw any claim for specific performance, terminate this Agreement under Section 4.3(f), if otherwise permitted to do so, and seek payment of the Reverse Termination Fee; or (iii) terminate this Agreement under Section 4.3(f), if otherwise permitted to do so, and seek payment of the Reverse Termination Fee; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller or the Company be entitled to both a grant of specific performance and the payment of the Reverse Termination Fee.

(a) Prior to Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.1(a), Purchaser shall be permitted, through its officers, employees and representatives (including its legal advisors, accountants and Financing Sources), to investigate and examine the properties, businesses and operations, and the books and records, of the Company and the Subsidiaries; provided, however, that with respect to investigation and examination of properties, businesses and operations, such investigation and examination is only permitted to the extent the properties, businesses or operations are used in and part of the Business after giving effect to the Reorganization. Any such investigation and examination shall be conducted during regular business hours upon reasonable advance notice and under reasonable circumstances, and shall be subject to restrictions under applicable Law and any confidentiality obligations to which the Company or any of its Affiliates is bound. Seller shall cause the officers, employees, consultants, agents, accountants, attorneys and other representatives of the Company and the Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives in connection with such investigation and examination. Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as to minimize any disruption to, and to not interfere unreasonably with, the business or operations of the Company or the Subsidiaries or the prompt and timely discharge by the employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries of their normal duties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such investigation or examination shall be permitted to the extent that it would require the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to disclose (i) information regarding any member of the Seller Group that the Company reasonably determines to be sensitive, competitive, proprietary or otherwise non-disclosable for any reason (including information that will be transferred out of the Company Group prior to Closing pursuant to the terms of Exhibit B), (ii) information regarding the Excluded Legal Proceeding; provided that the Company shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of all material developments with respect to the Excluded Legal Proceedings, or (iii) information subject to attorney-client privilege; provided that the Company shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to disclose such information (or as much as possible) in a manner that does not result in the loss of attorney-client privilege. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Purchaser shall not contact any employee (excluding employees listed on Schedule 8.1(a)), director, independent contractor distributor, suppliers to, or customers of, the Company in connection with transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Purchaser shall have no right to perform invasive or subsurface investigations of the properties or facilities of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

(b) For a period of seven (7) years after Closing, Purchaser will give Seller, its Affiliates and its and their representatives access, subject to restrictions under applicable Law and Purchaser’s internal policies and procedures, to properties transferred to Purchaser, books

Seller, its Affiliates and its and their representatives shall be entitled to make copies of, and conduct searches with respect to or in order to identify, the books and records to which such Persons are entitled to access pursuant to this Section 8.1(b). Any such access shall be conducted during regular business hours upon reasonable advance notice and under reasonable circumstances, and shall be subject to restrictions under applicable Law and any confidentiality obligations to which the Company or any of its Affiliates are bound. Purchaser agrees that it shall preserve and keep the books and records held by Purchaser, the Company or their respective Affiliates relating to the respective businesses of the Company and the Subsidiaries prior to the Closing for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date. In the event Purchaser, the Company or their respective Affiliates wishes to destroy any such books and records after that time, Purchaser shall first give 90 days prior written notice to Seller and Seller shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to Purchaser within that 90 day period, to take possession of such books and records within 180 days after the date of such notice. In exercising its access rights with respect to books and records pursuant to this Section 8.1(b), Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their representatives to, use reasonable care to preserve the condition of, and not to destroy or render unusable in any manner, such books and records. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and representatives to: (i) keep all information and books and records accessed pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) confidential, (ii) not publicly disclose such information or books and records to any other Person (except where such disclosure, upon the advice of outside counsel, is required by applicable Law and only to the extent required by applicable Law) and (iii) not use such information or books and records other than for the express purposes set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.1(b).

and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Regulatory Laws that may be asserted by any federal, state and local and non-United States antitrust or competition authority, so as to enable the parties to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as expeditiously as possible, including effecting or committing to effect, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust or otherwise (i) the sale or disposition of such of its assets or businesses as are required to be divested and (ii) any other restriction, limitation or encumbrance on the businesses or assets of the Purchaser or the Company Group, in order to avoid the entry of, or to effectuate the dissolution of, any Order in any suit or preceding, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, (A) neither Seller nor its Affiliates shall be required to undertake any actions to resolve any objections asserted by any Governmental Body with respect to any Regulatory Laws other than actions related to the Business and (B) Purchaser shall not be required to undertake any actions to resolve any objections asserted by any Governmental Body with respect to obtaining the approval set forth in Item 7 of Schedule 5.3(b).

8.5 Further Assurances.

(a) Subject to, and not in limitation of, Section 8.4, each of Purchaser, Seller and the Company shall use (and the Company shall cause each of the Subsidiaries to use) its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, and the parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another to, (a) take all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) cause the fulfillment at the earliest practicable date of all of the conditions to their respective obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (c) execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purposes of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) If at any time or from time to time following the Closing, any party (or any member of such party’s respective Group), shall receive or otherwise possess any asset or liability that is allocated to any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Document (including in connection with the Reorganization), such Person (or any member of such party’s respective Group, the “Transferor Party”) shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such asset (each, a “Non-Transferred Asset”) or liability (each, a “Non-Transferred Liability”), as the case may be, to the Person (or any member of such party’s respective Group, the “Transferee Party”) entitled to such Non-Transferred Asset or responsible for such Non-Transferred Liability, as the case may be, and the Transferee Party entitled to such Non-Transferred Asset or responsible for such Non-Transferred Liability shall accept such Non-Transferred Asset or accept, assume and agree faithfully to perform or

discharge such Non-Transferred Liability, as applicable. If any transfer or assignment of any Non-Transferred Asset under this Section 8.5(b) is unable to be consummated promptly for any reason, then, insofar as reasonably possible, the Transferor Party retaining such Non-Transferred Asset, shall thereafter hold such Non-Transferred Asset for the use and benefit of the Transferee Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Transferee Party entitled thereto). In addition, the Transferor Party retaining such Non-Transferred Asset shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Non-Transferred Asset in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Transferee Party to whom such Non-Transferred Asset is to be transferred or assigned, in order to place such Transferee Party in a substantially similar position as if such Non-Transferred Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Non-Transferred Asset, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Non-Transferred Asset, is to inure from and after the Closing to the Transferee Party. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with any such transfers or assignments of Non-Transferred Assets or assumption of Non-Transferred Liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all recording or similar fees, shall be borne by the party that would have been responsible for such costs and expenses if the transfer, assignment or assumption had occurred at or prior to the Closing.

In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, Purchaser may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that, based upon the opinion of its counsel, Purchaser is legally required to disclose; provided, however, that Purchaser shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain assurance that any Person or entity to whom any Confidential Information is so disclosed shall accord confidential treatment to the Confidential Information.

8.10 Financing.

(a) Each of Purchaser and Sponsor, as applicable, shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and consummate the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including (i) using reasonable best efforts to (w) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (x) satisfy on a timely basis all terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, (y) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and (z) consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to Closing and (ii) enforcing its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter.

(b) Purchaser shall not permit any amendment, modification or waiver of the Debt Commitment Letter that (i) reduces the amount of aggregate cash proceeds available from the Debt Financing below the amount necessary to finance the transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date unless the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount or (ii) imposes new or additional conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing, in each of the cases of clauses (i) and (ii), in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the Closing (it being understood and agreed the Purchaser may, without the consent of the Seller, (A) amend or otherwise modify the Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement or (B) amend or modify the Debt Commitment Letter in connection with entry into a New Debt Commitment Letter or an Alternative Debt Commitment and/or to implement the flex provisions set forth in any then-applicable Fee Letter).

(c) Until the earlier of the Closing and such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall cooperate (or cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate) in connection with the Debt Financing, any other financings undertaken by the Sponsor, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates in substitution for or in addition thereto for the purpose of funding the purchase of the Shares or any offerings that are registered under the Purchaser’s (or its direct or indirect parent’s) existing or future shelf registration statements on Form S-3 (each, a “Financing Transaction”) and, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, including (i) assisting Purchaser and each agent, arranger, lender, investor, potential agent, potential arranger, potential lender, potential investor, underwriter, initial purchaser and placement agent providing or potentially providing, or acting in connection with, any Financing Transaction, or any Affiliate of such Person (each of the foregoing, and each of its respective officers, controlling persons, directors, employees, agents, counsel and representative or any respective successors and assigns, a “Financing Source”) in the preparation of customary (A) offering documents, private placement memoranda

and bank information memoranda and similar marketing documents (including providing such information and data in connection therewith as Purchaser shall reasonably request), including the execution and delivery of customary representation letters in connection with bank information memoranda authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders and identifying any portion of such information that constitutes material, non-public information regarding the Business and (B) materials for rating agency presentations, (ii) cooperating with the marketing efforts for each Financing Transaction, including participating in a reasonable number of customary meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence sessions), drafting sessions and sessions with prospective lenders, initial purchasers, investors and rating agencies, including direct contact with senior management of the Company (and other employees with appropriate seniority and expertise) and advisors, in each case, at times and locations to be mutually agreed upon, (iii) furnishing all financial statements, financial data, audit reports and such other financial information, including the Required Financial Information, regarding the Business of the type and form required by Regulation S-K (including, without limitation, Item 303 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 301 Selected Financial Data; provided that such Selected Financial Data shall not include any information for any period prior to the year ended December 31, 2013) and Regulation S-X under the Securities Act for offerings of non-convertible debt securities on a registration statement on Form S-1, but in each case limited to (a) the type and form customarily included in a private placement of debt securities pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be required to include “segment reporting,” information required by Regulation S-X Rule 3-09, Regulation S-X Rule 3-10, Regulation S-X Rule 3-16 and Item 402 of Regulation S-K, and information regarding executive compensation or projections or pro forma financial statements, which shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser, to consummate an offering of debt securities incurred to provide funds to consummate the purchase of the Shares and (b) the type and form customarily included in offering documents used to syndicate credit facilities of the type to be included in the Debt Financing, (iv) causing the independent accountants of the Company to provide assistance and cooperation, including providing customary consents and comfort letters in connection with any Financing Transaction, (v) cooperating, to the extent the satisfaction of such condition requires the cooperation of, or is within the control of, the Company and its Subsidiaries in satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in any definitive document relating to any Financing Transaction and (vi) upon request, furnishing any documentation and other information required by a Governmental Body under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the U.S.A. Patriot Act of 2001. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates in connection with such cooperation. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any of the Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, and each of their representatives from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) nothing contained in this Section 8.10(c) shall require cooperation with Purchaser to the extent it would materially and unreasonably interfere with the ongoing customary operations of the business of the Company, any of the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Affiliates (provided that, the delivery of Required Financial Information and the information required by Item 303 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Regulation S-K shall not constitute such interference), encumber any of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to Closing, or require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any commitment or other fee or make any other payment in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing Date and (y) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective directors or officers, shall (A) be required to take any action in the capacity as a member of the board of directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to authorize or approve the Financing, (B) have any liability or any obligation under any definitive agreement or any other agreement or document related to the Financing (except with respect to any customary authorization letters contemplated by this Section 8.10(c)) or (C) enter into any definitive agreement in connection with the Financing Transaction (or Alternate Financing), in each case, that would be effective prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Purchaser shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to keep the Company reasonably informed with respect to the status of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and shall give the Company prompt notice of any material adverse change with respect to the availability of the Debt Financing that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to notify the Company promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, if at any time (i) the Debt Commitment Letter shall expire or be terminated for any reason (unless replaced with an alternative debt commitment (an “Alternative Debt Commitment”) that (A) is subject to conditions precedent to funding (or release from escrow) with “certain funds” limitations consistent with those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, (B) does not require that the Sponsor or Purchaser provide any financial statements with respect to the subsidiaries of the Company or provide financing cooperation by the Seller, in each case, in addition to that set forth in this Section 8.10 and (C) would not reasonably be expected to materially delay or adversely affect the Closing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that, subject to the preceding clauses (A) and (B), conditions relating solely to (1) the escrow of the proceeds of such debt financing in advance of the Closing and/or (2) the loans being borrowed or securities being issued pursuant to a new facility and not an incremental amendment to an existing credit facility are deemed to not reasonably be expected to in any way materially delay or adversely affect the Closing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (provided that, in the event an Alternate Debt Commitment is obtained, references in this Agreement to the Debt Commitment Letter shall be deemed to refer to the Alternative Debt Commitment, as applicable)), (ii) any Financing Source that is a party to the Debt Commitment Letter notifies Sponsor or Purchaser that such Financing Source no longer intends to provide financing to Sponsor or Purchaser (or their applicable Affiliate) on the terms set forth therein (unless replaced with an alternative Financing Source providing Alternative Debt Commitments in an aggregate principal amount not less than the Financing Source being so replaced and subject to conditions precedent to funding or issuance (into escrow otherwise) by

such alternative Financing Source that are consistent with those set forth in the preceding clause (i)), or (iii) for any reason Purchaser no longer believes in good faith that it or Sponsor or their respective Affiliate will be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms described therein. Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, without the prior written consent of the Company, take or fail to take any action or enter into any transaction, including any merger, acquisition, joint venture, disposition, Contract or debt or equity financing, that could reasonably be expected to materially impair, delay or prevent consummation of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or any Alternate Financing contemplated by any New Debt Commitment Letter.

(e) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Commitment Letter shall be terminated or modified in a manner materially adverse to Purchaser for any reason (in each case, unless replaced with an Alternative Debt Commitment), Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain (either directly or through Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates) alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder (“Alternate Financing”) and to obtain (either directly or through Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates), and, if obtained, will provide the Company with a correct and complete copy of, a new financing commitment that provides for at least the same amount of financing as the Debt Commitment Letter as originally issued, to the extent needed to fund the transactions contemplated hereby (the “New Debt Commitment Letter”) and a complete and correct copy of any then-applicable executed fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) that relates to such New Debt Commitment Letter, with only economic and economic flex terms redacted. To the extent applicable, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to arrange promptly and consummate the Alternate Financing on the terms and conditions described in any New Debt Commitment Letter (after giving effect to any market flex provisions in any Fee Letter entered into in connection with such New Debt Commitment Letter), including (i) using reasonable best efforts to (x) satisfy on a timely basis all terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the New Debt Commitment Letter, (y) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contemplated by the New Debt Commitment Letter and (z) consummate the Alternate Financing at or prior to the Closing and (ii) enforcing its rights under the New Debt Commitment Letter. In the event Alternate Financing is obtained and a New Debt Commitment Letter is entered into, references in this Agreement to the Debt Commitment Letter shall be deemed to refer to the New Debt Commitment Letter, as applicable.

(f) “Required Financial Information” means (i) audited financial statements, including combined balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of cash flows and statements of stockholders equity, of the Business as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 as required by, and in compliance with GAAP, (ii) unaudited financial statements, including combined balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows, of the Business as of and for each subsequent fiscal quarter (other than the fourth quarter) ended at least forty-five (45) days prior to the earlier of the Closing Date and the

Financing Completion Date, which shall have been reviewed by the independent accountants for the Business as provided in the procedures specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in AU 722; provided, that if the Business’s independent accountants shall have withdrawn or announced their intention to restate their audit opinion with respect to any of the audited financial statements of the Business for any of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2013, December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2015, the Required Financial Information shall not be deemed to be provided for purposes of clause (i) of this definition until such time as a new audit opinion has been issued with respect to such audited financial statements by such independent accountants or another independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company shall in good faith reasonably believe that it has delivered, or caused to be delivered, the Required Financial Information and/or the information contemplated by Section 8.10(c)(iii), then the Company may deliver to Purchaser written notice to that effect (stating when it believes it completed the applicable delivery), in which case the Required Financial Information and/or the information contemplated by Section 8.10(c)(iii), as applicable, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date of the applicable notice, in each case unless Purchaser in good faith reasonably believes that the Company shall have not completed delivery of the Required Financial Information or the information contemplated by Section 8.10(c)(iii), as applicable, and, within three Business Days after its receipt of such notice from the Company, Purchaser delivers a written notice to the Company to that effect (stating with specificity the Required Financial Information or the information contemplated by Section 8.10(c)(iii), as applicable, that has not been delivered).

(g) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Equity Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter simultaneously with or in advance of the receipt of the Debt Financing, (ii) maintain in effect the Equity Commitment Letter, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Purchaser set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter that are within its control and (iv) consummate the Equity Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter at or prior to the Closing; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be required to waive any condition set forth in Section 9.1.

(h) Purchaser shall not amend, alter or waive, or agree to amend, alter or waive (in any case whether by action or inaction), any term of the Equity Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of the Company or except as permitted pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter. Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) notify the Company of (i) the expiration or termination (or attempted or purported termination, whether or not valid) of any Equity Commitment Letter, or (ii) any refusal by a Sponsor named in an Equity Commitment Letter to provide the full financing contemplated by such Equity Commitment Letter.

8.11 Employment and Employee Benefits.

(a) Purchaser shall provide or shall cause to be provided to each Continuing Employee, for a period of 18 months following the Closing Date, (i) a base wage or salary that is no less favorable than the base wage or salary in effect for such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) target incentive compensation opportunities (including equity-based incentive compensation opportunities) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided that, with respect to long-term incentive compensation opportunities, compliance with Sections 8.11(d)(ii)—(iv) shall be deemed compliance with this Section 8.11(a)(ii), and (iii) employee benefits (including without limitation retirement, health, welfare, vacation and all other fringe benefits and taking into account the value of the employer matching contribution provided under the Company’s 401(k) Plan) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to similarly situated employees of the Affiliates of Purchaser.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall (i) waive any applicable pre-existing condition exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements in any successor employee benefit plan of the Purchaser or its Affiliate that a Continuing Employee is eligible to participate in following the Closing Date to the extent such exclusions or waiting periods were inapplicable to, or had been satisfied by, such employee prior to the Closing Date under an analogous Company Benefit Plan, (ii) cause any eligible expenses incurred by a Continuing Employee and such employee’s covered dependents under any Company Benefit Plan during the portion of the plan year ending on the date such employee’s participation in any successor employee benefit plan of the Purchaser or its Affiliates begins to be taken into account under such successor plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid under the same plan and (iii) cause each employee benefit plan of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates following the Closing Date to recognize and credit the service of each Continuing Employee with the Company and the Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, immediately prior to the Closing Date, to credit for such service under any Company Benefit Plan for purposes of eligibility to participate, determination of level of benefits, vesting, vacation entitlement and severance benefits (but not for benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan); provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent it would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 8.11(a), from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall retain, honor and continue all of the Company’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of all Continuing Employees (i) arising under the terms of the Company Sale Severance Plan (it being understood that in the event that a Continuing Employee becomes entitled to benefits under the Company Sale Severance Plan, such individual shall be entitled to payments and benefits under both the Company Sale Severance Plan and Severance Pay Plan), the Severance Pay Plan, the 2016 Short-Term Incentive Plan, the 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the 2015-Long Term Incentive Plan, the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan and, if in effect from and after the Closing, the SUEZ Energy North America, Inc. Senior Management Deferred Compensation Plan, in each case, in accordance with their terms as in effect

immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 8.11(e), accrued, unused vacation and other paid time off benefits accrued as of the Closing Date, and (iii) as provided in Exhibit B with respect to the Company’s 401(k) plan. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall take all actions reasonably necessary to provide that, subject to Section 8.11(d), Purchaser shall not retain, and, at and after the Closing, the Company and the Company Group shall not retain any other Company Benefit Plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate (or to which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate contributes or is required to contribute).

(d) Notwithstanding the terms of the applicable incentive plans identified below:

(i) in the event that the Closing Date occurs on or prior to March 15, 2017, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay to each Continuing Employee who as of immediately prior to the Closing was a participant in the Company’s 2016 Short-Term Incentive Plan, and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions for payment under such plan as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, the incentive payment that would have been payable under such plan assuming achievement of 120% of applicable performance targets under such plan; provided, however, that if a participant experiences a Qualifying Termination on or following the Closing Date but prior to December 31, 2016, such participant’s incentive payment shall be governed by the terms of the Company Sale Severance Plan;

(ii) in the event that the Closing Date occurs on or prior to March 15, 2017, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay to each Continuing Employee who is a participant in the Company’s 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions for payment under such plan as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, an incentive payment calculated assuming achievement of 175% of applicable performance targets under such plan; provided, however, that if a participant experiences a Qualifying Termination on or following the Closing Date but prior to December 31, 2016, such participant’s incentive payment shall be governed by the terms of the Company Sale Severance Plan;

(iii) in the event that the Closing Date occurs on or prior to March 15, 2018, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay to each Continuing Employee who is a participant in the Company’s 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions for payment under such plan as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, an incentive payment calculated assuming achievement of 150% of applicable performance targets under such plan; provided, however, that if a participant experiences a Qualifying Termination on or following the Closing Date but prior to December 31, 2017, such participant’s incentive payment shall be governed by the terms of the Company Sale Severance Plan; and

(iv) in the event that the Closing Date occurs on or prior to March 15, 2019, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay to each Continuing Employee who is a participant in the Company’s 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions for payment under such plan as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, an incentive payment calculated assuming achievement of 150% of applicable performance targets under such plan; provided, however, that if a participant experiences a Qualifying Termination on or following the Closing Date but prior to December 31, 2018, such participant’s incentive payment shall be governed by the terms of the Company Sale Severance Plan.

(e) Seller shall make, or shall cause its Affiliates to make, a payment as of Closing to each Continuing Employee in full satisfaction of any accrued but unused vacation in excess of 40 hours credited to such Continuing Employee as of immediately before the Closing such that, as of the Closing, the Continuing Employee shall be credited with no accrued but unused vacation in excess of 40 hours in respect of employment by the Company or its Affiliates.

(f) Nothing in this Section 8.11 shall (i) create any right in any Continuing Employee or other employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries to continued employment by Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) require Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof to continue any Company Benefit Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination of any Company Benefit Plan after the Closing Date. Nothing in this Section 8.11 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed as an amendment to any benefit plan of the Company, the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates.

8.12 Disclosure Schedules; Supplementation and Amendment of Schedules. From time to time prior to the Closing, the Company may deliver updates to the disclosure schedules that are necessary to complete or correct any representation or warranty of the Company or Seller that has been rendered inaccurate or incomplete due solely to any change, event, effect or occurrence since the date of this Agreement (each such update, a “Schedule Update”). If (a) Purchaser would have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3(e) as a result of any change, event, effect or occurrence set forth in a Schedule Update and does not exercise such right within twenty (20) Business Days thereof and (b) such Schedule Update relates solely to changes, events, effects or occurrences arising after the date of this Agreement, then such Schedule Update shall be deemed to have amended the disclosure schedules as of the date of this Agreement, to have qualified the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE V and ARTICLE VI, as the case may be, as of the date of this Agreement, and to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of the existence of any such change, event, effect or occurrence. Seller and the Company, as applicable, shall provide to Purchaser any information relating to any Schedule Update reasonably requested by Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, if (i) Purchaser would not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3(e) as a result of any change, event, effect or occurrence set forth in a Schedule Update or (ii) a Schedule Update does not relate solely to changes, events, effects or occurrences arising after the date of this Agreement, then

such Schedule Update shall not be deemed to have amended the schedules as of the date of this Agreement, to have qualified the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE V and Article VI as of the date of this Agreement or to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that may exist hereunder by reason of the existence of such matter.

8.13 Control of Business. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, representatives, successors and assigns that the operation of the Company and the Subsidiaries remains in the dominion and control of the Company and the Subsidiaries until the Closing and that none of the foregoing Persons will provide, directly or indirectly, any directions, orders, advice, aid, assistance or information to any director, officer or employee of the Company and the Subsidiaries, except as specifically contemplated or permitted by ARTICLE VIII or as otherwise consented to in advance by an officer of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

8.14 Hedge Contracts. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall each use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to negotiate, and deliver on the Closing, master documentation consistent with the industry standard master documentation that governs the Hedge Contracts, including master agreements and master netting agreements, which master documentation shall reflect arms’ length terms as modified by this Section 8.14 and under which Seller or a member of Seller Group shall be one party and Company or a member of Company Group shall be the other party (the “Back-to-Back Documentation”). On the Closing, the Company or a member of Company Group on the one hand and Seller or a member of Seller Groups on the other hand shall enter into Back-to-Back Trades governed by the applicable Back-to-Back Documentation, with respect to each of the Hedge Contracts (including the Proprietary Hedge Contracts). The Company shall procure that the Back-to-Back Documentation and the Back-to-Back Trades are secured (and shall have the benefit of each guarantee) on a pari passu basis with the payment of principal (whether upon liquidation or otherwise) on the senior-most class of debt incurred by the Company or any member of the Company Group in connection with the Closing. The Back-to-Back Documentation or the confirmations of the Back-to-Back Trades executed thereunder (i) shall contain the price, period of time, delivery or receipt points (if applicable) and other terms that correspond to the rights and obligations of the Seller or member of the Seller Group under the corresponding Hedge Contract so as to provide a seamless transfer of the risk and title of the product in the Hedge Contract from the Seller or the applicable member of the Seller Group to Company or the applicable member of the Company Group, (ii) shall pass-through of all rights and obligations with respect to payment, cover damages, replacement costs, indemnification, liabilities, excuses (including force majeure claims) from the Seller or the applicable member of the Seller Group to Company or the applicable member of the Company Group, (iii) shall provide that the failure of the Back-to-Back Trades to be secured and guaranteed as described in this Section 8.14 shall constitute a default or termination event providing the non-defaulting or non-affected party with industry standard remedies consistent with the remedies under the corresponding Hedge Contract as modified by this Section 8.14, and (iv) shall provide for payment by the Company or the applicable member of the Company Group of the Monthly Intermediation Fee with respect to Hedge Contracts that are not Proprietary Hedge Contracts.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (a) with respect to the Hedge Contracts listed on Schedule 8.14, Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate to novate or otherwise transfer to the Company or the applicable member of the Company Group as of Closing, at no cost, Seller or the member of Seller Group’s position in such Hedge Contract and, to the extent so novated or transferred, such Hedge Contracts shall not be subject to Back-to-Back Trades and (b) where the Seller determines it administratively convenient, in lieu of entering into a Back-to-Back Trade with respect to any Hedge Contract, Seller may elect for Seller or a member of Seller Group to functionally convey the rights and obligations under such Hedge Contract to Company or a member of Company Group by some other means, including but not limited to the Company or a member of the Company Group accepting a novation of the Hedge Contract, procuring a release of the Seller and all members of the Seller Group under such Hedge Contract in connection with the Company or a member of the Company Group entering into a replacement hedge contract on substantially identical terms, entry into an asset management agreement with the Company or a member of Company Group with respect to such position, or any other commercially reasonable method (each, an “Alternative Hedge Transfer”) and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with the Seller to execute any documentation reasonably required in connection with such Alternative Hedge Transfer; provided, that the Company shall not be required to provide credit support in connection with such Alternative Hedge Transfer, and notwithstanding such release, novation, transfer or conveyance, such Alternative Hedge Transfer shall not relieve Seller of its obligation to maintain, or to cause any applicable member of the Seller Group to maintain, Seller Credit Support pursuant to Section 8.15 with respect to the Seller Group Hedge Contract that is the subject of an Alternative Hedge Transfer.

8.15 Credit Support.

(a) For a period of 24 months after the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause any applicable member of the Seller Group to, maintain in effect without amendment all of letters of credit, guarantees and other contractual credit support obligations entered into by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Business (collectively, the “Seller Credit Support”) in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect as of the Closing. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts (and shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers’ efforts) to (i) terminate, or cause Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller or any member of the Seller Group under, such Seller Credit Support or (ii) to obtain from the creditor or other counterparty a full release of Seller or any member of the Seller Group to the extent liable, directly or indirectly, for reimbursement to the creditor or fulfillment of other obligations to a counterparty in connection with amounts drawn under such Seller Credit Support (such releases, collectively, the “Credit Support Releases”), in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), to be effective as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date. On the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date, Seller shall or shall cause the applicable member of the Seller Group, to terminate any Seller Credit Support for which Purchaser has not obtained any such substitution, termination or Credit Support Release (each such Seller Credit Support, a “Terminated Credit Support”). If Seller or a member of the Seller Group incurs any liability or cost after the Closing in connection with the Terminated Credit Support (including for breach of the obligation to maintain the Seller Credit Support on

and after the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date), Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller against, and reimburse Seller for, any and all Losses that Seller or a member of the Seller Group becomes liable for in respect of such Terminated Credit Support (including reasonable attorney’s fees).

(b) In consideration of Seller’s maintenance of the Seller Credit Support pursuant to Section 8.15(a), for so long as there is any such Seller Credit Support outstanding, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall pay to Seller (or to an Affiliate of Seller designated in writing) the Credit Support Fee on the first Business Day following the last day of each Credit Support Period. The Credit Support Fee shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by Seller in writing. If there ceases to be any Seller Credit Support outstanding during any Credit Support Period, the Credit Support Fee shall be prorated based on the number of days elapsed in such Credit Support Period prior to and excluding the date that the Seller Credit Support ceased to be outstanding and the Credit Support Fee will be due and payable on the first Business Day following such date. The Credit Support Fee shall be the sole compensation due to Seller in connection with Seller’s maintenance of the Seller Credit Support, but shall not affect Seller’s or its Affiliates’, as applicable, rights under any Seller Credit Support or under this Agreement.

8.16 Insurance.

(a) Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain or cause to be maintained the Insurance Arrangements in full force and effect until the Closing. From and after the Closing, the Company Group shall cease to be insured by, have access or availability to, or be entitled to make claims on, claim benefits from or seek coverage under any Seller Insurance Policies, except: (i) with respect to any claim asserted against, or loss incurred by, any member of the Company Group after the Closing (“Post-Closing Claims”) arising out of an act, claim, omission, event, circumstance, occurrence or loss occurring prior to the Closing, the Company Group may access coverage under the occurrence-based Seller Insurance Policies issued or in place prior to the Closing under which any member of the Company Group is insured (“Pre-Closing Occurrence Based Policies”) to the extent such insurance coverage exists; (ii) after the Closing, any member of the Company Group may seek coverage for any Post-Closing Claim under any applicable Pre-Closing Occurrence Based Policy to the extent such insurance coverage exists and Seller and its Affiliates shall cooperate with the Company and Purchaser in connection with tendering or pursuing such claims; provided, however, that (A) Purchaser or the Company shall promptly notify Seller of all such Post-Closing Claims and (B) without limiting any indemnity obligation of the Seller under Section 10.2, Purchaser and the Company shall be responsible for the satisfaction or payment of any applicable retention, deductible or retrospective premium with respect to any Post-Closing Claim and shall reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such claims; and (iii) in the event that a Post-Closing Claim relates to the same occurrence for which Seller, its Affiliates or assignees are seeking coverage under Pre-Closing Occurrence Based Policies, and the limits under an applicable Pre-Closing Occurrence Based Policy are not sufficient to fund all covered claims of the Company or any member of the

Company Group, as applicable, and Seller or its Affiliates and assignees, as applicable, amounts due under such a Pre-Closing Occurrence Based Policy shall be paid to the respective entities in proportion to the amounts which otherwise would be due were the limits of liability infinite.

(b) Without limiting the provisions set forth in Section 10.6(a), with respect to each claim, act, omission, event, circumstance, occurrence or loss set forth on Schedule 8.16(b) (the “Excluded Claims”) that either (i) in the case of claims-made Company Insurance Policies, was reported to the applicable insurer on or prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) is or may be covered by any occurrence-based Company Insurance Policy, from and after the Closing, the Company shall (and shall cause the Subsidiaries to) file, and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to pursue and collect, claims under the applicable Company Insurance Policies in respect of any such Excluded Claim. The Company shall (and shall cause the Subsidiaries to) promptly remit to the Seller any proceeds (less any reasonable costs or expenses incurred to pursue such claims) received under the Company Insurance Policies after the Closing in respect of any of the foregoing claims. Whenever this Section 8.16(b) requires any member of the Company Group to take any action after the Closing, such requirement shall be deemed to constitute an undertaking on the part of Purchaser to take such action or to cause such member of the Company Group to take such action.

(c) With respect to any claim asserted against, or loss incurred by, any member of the Company Group after the date of this Agreement for any act, omission, event, circumstance, occurrence or loss (other than an Excluded Claim) (“Post-Signing Claim”) that is covered under a Company Insurance Policy, Seller shall (and shall cause the Company and the Subsidiaries to) file, and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to pursue and collect, claims under the applicable Company Insurance Policies in respect of any such Post-Signing Claim. Seller shall cause the Company and the Subsidiaries to hold any proceeds (less any reasonable costs or expenses incurred to pursue such claims) received prior to the Closing, except for (i) proceeds that reimburse the Company or any Subsidiary for out-of-pocket costs incurred to fix or mitigate a Post-Signing Claim prior to Closing and (ii) proceeds in respect of losses arising from business interruption covered under the applicable Company Insurance Policies (provided that such proceeds under this clause (ii) shall constitute Excluded Claims), under the Company Insurance Policies in respect of any of the foregoing claims (“Post-Signing Insurance Proceeds”) for the benefit and account of the Company Group. Any proceeds received after the Closing under the Company Insurance Policies in respect of any of the foregoing claims shall be for the benefit and account of the Company Group; provided, however, that Purchaser shall cause the Company and the Subsidiaries to promptly remit to Seller any such proceeds that (A) reimburse the Company or any member of the Company Group for any out-of-pocket costs incurred prior to the Closing to fix or mitigate a Post-Signing Event or (B) are in respect of losses arising from business interruption covered under the applicable Company Insurance Policies prior to the Closing.

8.17 Mutual Release. Effective as of the Closing, the Seller Group, on the one hand, and Purchaser and the Company Group, on the other hand, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably and forever release and discharge the other and its past, present and future directors,

officers, equityholders and employees, and all of the foregoing persons’ successors, assigns and agents (each, a “Released Party”), of and from, and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive, any and all claims, debts, losses, expenses, proceedings, covenants, liabilities, suits, judgments, damages, actions and causes of action, obligations, accounts, and liabilities of any kind or character whatsoever, known or unknown, contingent or unconditional, matured or unmatured, fixed or variable, suspected or unsuspected, in contract or tort, at Law or in equity, direct or indirect, that such party ever had, now has or ever may have or claim to have against any Released Party, for or by reason of any matter, circumstance, event, action, inaction, omission, cause or thing whatsoever arising prior to the Closing; provided, however, that this release shall not affect (i) any claims relating to any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or the Related Documents or any of the provisions set forth herein or therein or any claims for indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE X, (ii) any right to receive salary, bonuses and expenses that have accrued in respect of employment with the Company or any of the Subsidiaries in the Ordinary Course of Business or any agreement with the Company or any of the Subsidiaries relating to employment or pursuant to which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may be obligated to make any retention, severance, termination or similar payment or (iii) any right to indemnification, exculpation or advancement of expenses, whether under corporate indemnification, director and officer insurance or otherwise, to which any individual may be entitled as a result of such individual’s service as a director, officer, or employee of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

8.18 Tax Matters.

(a) Pre-Closing Tax Period Tax Returns. Seller shall control the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns for the Company and the Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period required to be filed after the Closing Date, provided that, prior to such filing, Purchaser shall have the right to review, comment on and approve any such Tax Returns (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). To the extent that any Tax Return prepared by Seller pursuant to this Section 8.18(a) shows a net operating loss of the Company or any Subsidiary arising from any Pre-Closing Tax Period, such net operating loss shall be carried back to previous Tax periods to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law. Upon Seller’s request, Purchaser shall execute any powers of attorney or similar documents that may be required to effectuate the intent of this Section 8.18(a).

(b) Straddle Period Tax Returns. Purchaser shall control the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns for the Company and the Subsidiaries with respect to any Straddle Period, provided that, prior to such filing, Seller shall have the right to review, comment on and approve any such Tax Returns (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any Tax Return prepared by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.18(b) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice of the Company unless otherwise required by applicable Law; provided that to the extent that such Tax Return shows a net operating loss of the Company or any Subsidiary arising from the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, such net operating loss shall be carried back to previous Tax periods to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

(c) Transfer Taxes. Purchaser or the Seller, as required by applicable Law, shall file all Tax Returns required to be filed to report any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration or such other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) imposed on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than any Transfer Taxes with respect to the Reorganization which shall be the sole responsibility of the Seller. Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall each bear fifty percent of all such Transfer Taxes.

(d) Allocation of Tax Liabilities. To the extent permitted or required by Law or administrative practice, the taxable year of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries which includes the Closing Date shall be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date. Where it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to apportion between Seller and Purchaser the Taxes of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period (which is not treated under the immediately preceding sentence as closing on the Closing Date), such liability shall be apportioned between the period deemed to end at the close of the Closing Date, and the period deemed to begin at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date on the basis of an interim closing of the books, except that property Taxes and ad valorem Taxes shall be allocated on a daily basis.

(e) Amended Returns. Except upon Seller’s written request pursuant to Section 8.18(f), neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate of Purchaser shall (or shall cause or permit the Company or any Subsidiary to) amend, refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitation with respect to) any Tax Return with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Seller. Seller shall have the exclusive right to (i) prepare (or cause to be prepared) any amended Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary to the extent that any such Tax Return relates to any Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period. Upon Seller’s request, Purchaser shall file (or caused to be filed) any amended Tax Return described in the immediately preceding sentence and shall execute any powers of attorney or similar documents that may be required to effectuate the intent of this Section 8.18(e).

(f) Refunds. Purchaser shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Seller any Tax refunds (including any interest paid thereon and net of any Taxes incurred in respect of the receipt or accrual of the refund) that are received by the Company or any Subsidiary (or Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser on their behalf), and any amounts credited against Tax to which the Company or any Subsidiary (or Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser on their behalf) becomes entitled, that relate to Pre-Closing Tax Periods or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date. Upon Seller’s request, Purchaser shall file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns (including amended Tax Returns) or other documents claiming any refunds, including through the carryback of any net operating losses that are attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle period ending on the Closing Date, to which Seller is entitled pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(g) Post-Closing Actions. Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing for the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any Subsidiary) to (i) voluntarily approach any Taxing Authority regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, (ii) take any action relating to Taxes, or that could create a Tax Liability, on the Closing Date after the Closing that is outside the ordinary course of business (other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) or (iii) except upon Seller’s request pursuant to Section 8.18(f), carry back any net operating losses arising from any Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date.

(h) Tax Cooperation. Without limiting the obligations set forth in Section 8.1, Purchaser and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business (including access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any audit, proposed adjustment or deficiency, assessment, claim, suit or other proceeding relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns. Purchaser agrees that it shall preserve and keep, or cause to be preserved and kept, all original books and records in respect of the Business relating to any Taxes with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and in the possession of Purchaser or its Affiliates in accordance with Section 8.1.

8.19 Continuing Employee Information. Purchaser agrees that, immediately following the Closing, Purchaser shall instruct each Continuing Employee and use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause each Continuing Employee to agree, (a) to at all times maintain the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information in such Continuing Employee’s possession or control that relates to any business of the Seller Group, including any such confidential or proprietary information obtained inadvertently by such Continuing Employee or contained or stored in such Continuing Employee’s personal electronic devices (including mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, laptop computers and desktop computers) (“Personal Electronic Devices”), (b) to delete from all of such Continuing Employee’s Personal Electronic Devices all confidential or proprietary information that relates to any business of the Seller Group and (c) not to use, or disclose or make available to any third party, any confidential or proprietary information that relates to any business of the Seller Group, including historical data relating solely to the business of the Seller Group contained in ISO accounts that are retained by the Company Group from and after Closing, for any purpose at any time during or after such Continuing Employee’s employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates. Purchaser agrees that it shall, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date, deliver to Seller a written certification executed by each Continuing Employee acknowledging that (i) Purchaser has notified such Continuing Employee of each of the foregoing obligations in (a), (b) and (c) and (ii) such Continuing Employee is in compliance with, and agrees to continue to comply with, the foregoing obligations in (a), (b) and (c) from and after the term of such Continuing Employee’s

employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that the Company Group will be solely and fully responsible and liable for any breach (y) of its obligations with respect to any confidential or proprietary information that relates to any business of the Seller Group or (z) by any Continuing Employee of any of the foregoing obligations in (a), (b) or (c), that occurs from and after the Closing. The provisions of this Section 8.19 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, Retainco and shall not be modified or terminated in any manner as to adversely affect Retainco, without the prior written consent of Retainco.

8.20 Termination of Affiliate Contracts and Obligations. Except for any Affiliate Contract or other liability or obligation set forth on Schedule 8.20, any Proprietary Hedge Contract and any Back-to-Back Documentation, prior to the Closing, Seller and the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause (a) each Affiliate Contract to be terminated and the Company Group to have no further liabilities or obligations thereunder and (b) all liabilities and obligations of the Company Group to the Seller Group (except for any such liabilities and obligations created by this Agreement or the Related Documents) to be terminated and discharged, in each case, to be effective as of the Closing.

8.21 No Solicitation; Alternative Transactions. Prior to the Closing, none of Seller, the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, and Seller shall cause its Affiliates and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, participate in or initiate discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person or group (other than any party hereto or any Affiliate, associate or designee of any party hereto) concerning any proposal for the sale, merger, combination, joint venture or other transaction involving all or any part of the businesses and properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that this Section 8.21 shall not restrict the FirstLight Transfer.

and expense, limited to the following (i) furnishing the Dynegy Required Financial Information (provided that such Dynegy Required Financial Information shall not include “segment reporting,” information required by Regulation S-X Rule 3-09, Regulation S-X Rule 3-10 and Regulation S-X Rule 3-16, or projections or pro forma financial statements), (ii) furnishing the information required by Item 303 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Regulation S-K and (iii) causing the independent accountants of the Company to provide assistance and cooperation, including providing customary consents in connection with any Dynegy Financing Transaction.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 8.23 shall not be included for purposes of the condition set forth in Section 9.1(b).

10.2 Indemnification by Seller.

(a) Subject to Section 10.5, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser

Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Parties the amount of, any and all Losses based upon or resulting from:

(i) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller or the Company in this Agreement to be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (as though made on the Closing Date), unless such representations or warranties relate to an earlier date and are true and correct as of such earlier date;

(ii) the failure by (A) the Company or the Seller to comply with any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be performed by such party prior to Closing and (B) Seller to comply with any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be performed by Seller following Closing; and

(iii) any Assumed Liability.

(b) Seller shall take and cause its Affiliates to take all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

10.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim shall be asserted by a Notice of Claim to the party from whom indemnification is sought setting forth the specific claim and the basis therefor in reasonable detail.

(b) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted, or that any claim shall be asserted, by any third party in respect of which payment may be sought under Sections 10.2 or 10.3 (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 10.5) (an “Indemnification Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly cause a Notice of Claim of the assertion of any Indemnification Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party. The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Indemnification Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result of such failure. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim that arises in connection with a criminal proceeding; provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Indemnification Claim that arises in connection with a criminal proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, it shall within 30 days (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party in writing of its intent to do so. During such 30-day period, the indemnified party, in consultation with the indemnifying party, may make such filings, including motions for continuance (and answers if a motion for continuance has not been granted), as may be necessary to preserve the parties’ positions and rights with respect to such Indemnification Claim), and the reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses in connection therewith shall be considered Losses indemnifiable under this Agreement. If the indemnifying party elects not to, or is not permitted to, defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall not settle, compromise, permit a default or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any such Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Indemnification Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if, (i) so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict or

potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any Indemnification Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.4 to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such Indemnification Claim, settle or compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment with respect thereto unless (A) such settlement, compromise, default or judgment (1) includes a full and unconditional waiver and release by the claimant of all applicable indemnified parties without any cost or liability of any nature whatsoever to such indemnified parties, (2) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any applicable indemnified party and (3) does not result in any Lien on any of the assets of, or contain any restriction or condition that would adversely affect the future conduct of, any applicable indemnified party and (B) the indemnifying party pays or causes to be paid all amounts of such settlement, compromise, default or judgement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant, and the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party in writing of the indemnifying party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of Sections 10.5 and 10.6, pay the amount called for by such offer, and the indemnified party declines to accept such offer, the indemnified party may continue to contest such Indemnification Claim, free of any participation by the indemnifying party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Indemnification Claim that the indemnifying party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the amount of the settlement offer that the indemnified party declined to accept or (ii) the aggregate Losses of the indemnified party with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.4(b)-(c), with respect to an Indemnification Claim involving the Excluded Legal Proceedings pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iii), the following procedures shall control and govern:

(i) Seller shall be represented by Xxxxxxxxx LLP or other counsel of Seller’s choice and Seller shall have the right to cause the Company and any other applicable members of the Company Group involved in the Excluded Legal Proceedings to be represented by the same counsel or other counsel of Seller’s choice (and Purchaser and the Company Group shall not otherwise be represented by counsel without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller). Seller shall have the exclusive right to defend against, negotiate, settle, compromise, discharge or otherwise deal with the Excluded Legal Proceedings in its sole discretion, except that, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, Seller shall not agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge that (A) would reasonably be expected to result in any Lien on any of the assets of, or any

restriction that would adversely affect, except in any immaterial respect, the future conduct of, the Company Group or the Business. Purchaser may participate in the defense of the Excluded Legal Proceedings only to the extent and in the manner requested by Seller in its sole discretion or (B) would require any member of the Company Group to pay any amount with respect thereto.

(ii) Subject to Section 10.4(d)(i), the parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with defending against, negotiating, settling, compromising, discharging or otherwise dealing with the Excluded Legal Proceedings. Furthermore, Purchaser agrees to take all actions, and cause applicable members of the Company Group to take all actions, reasonably required by Seller in connection with defending against, negotiating, settling, compromising, discharging or otherwise dealing with the Excluded Legal Proceedings, including (A) executing and delivering settlement agreements or other documents to third parties (including a Governmental Body), (B) filing court papers as a named litigant or interested party in the Excluded Legal Proceedings and (C) communicating with third parties (including a Governmental Body) in consultation with Seller.

(e) After (i) any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, (ii) a settlement shall have been consummated or (iii) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement, in each case, with respect to a claim for indemnification hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the indemnifying party shall pay all of such remaining sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice. If the indemnifying party makes any payment on any claim for indemnification hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the indemnified party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the indemnified party with respect to such claim for indemnification hereunder.

10.5 Certain Indemnification Matters; Certain Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this ARTICLE X:

(i) Seller shall not have any indemnification obligations for Losses under Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than Seller’s indemnification obligations arising out of any failure of any Company/Seller Fundamental Warranty or Tax Warranty to be true and correct) (A) for any individual item, or group of items arising out of the same event, where the Loss relating thereto is less than $300,000 (the “De Minimis Threshold”) and (B) in respect of each individual item, or group of items arising out of the same event, where the Loss relating thereto is equal to or greater than the De Minimis Threshold,

unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $50,000,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of such excess;

(ii) in no event shall the aggregate indemnification obligations of Seller under Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than Seller’s indemnification obligations arising out of any failure of any Company/Seller Fundamental Warranty or Tax Warranty to be true and correct, which obligations shall not be taken into account in determining whether the Cap has been exceeded) exceed $200,000,000 (the “Cap”);

(iii) in no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller for (A) its indemnification obligations under Section 10.2(a)(i) for the failure of any Company/Seller Fundamental Warranty or Tax Warranty to be true and correct, (B) its indemnification obligations under Section 10.2(a)(ii), (C) intentional fraud with respect to the representations and warranties of the parties set forth in this Agreement and (D) its indemnification obligations under Section 10.2(a)(iii) exceed the Base Purchase Price;

(iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be deemed not to have suffered or incurred any Losses under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 arising from any item or matter that was included in the determination of Final Net Working Capital in accordance with Section 3.3(a), as it is the intent of the parties hereto that the procedures set forth in Section 3.3 shall provide the sole and exclusive remedies for such claims and that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not have recourse pursuant to Section 10.2 for breaches of representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement for matters resolved pursuant to Section 3.3;

(v) no indemnifying party shall be liable for any Loss which is contingent, unless and until such contingent Loss becomes an actual Loss of the indemnified party which is due and payable;

(vi) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be deemed to not have suffered or incurred any Losses under this Agreement arising out of (and accordingly, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not have any claim for indemnification under any provision of this Agreement based on) the utilization, reduction, or limitation on the use, of any Tax attributes of the Company or any Subsidiary that arose in a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date (for the avoidance of doubt, including any utilization or reduction of such Tax attributes as a result of the Reorganization or the FirstLight Transfer), except solely to the extent such utilization, reduction or limitation results in a cash Tax liability of the Company or any Subsidiary that is attributable to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date;

(vii) Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party to the extent of any Losses in respect of any Taxes of the Company or

any of the Subsidiaries resulting from or attributable to any Tax period ending after the Closing Date or to any Straddle Period, to the extent (as determined pursuant to the last sentence of Section 8.18(d)) attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period beginning on and ending after the Closing Date; and

(viii) the obligation of any indemnifying party to indemnify for any Losses pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3 shall be effective and such indemnitors shall be liable only if a written notice of claim (a “Notice of Claim”) is delivered pursuant to Section 10.4 with respect to such Loss within the applicable Survival Period specified in Section 10.1.

(b) Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party and Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party to the extent of any Losses that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by final judgment to have resulted from any bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct occurring after the Closing of the party seeking indemnification.

(c) All materiality qualifications (including the terms “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” and “material adverse effect”) contained in the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties contained in the last sentence of Section 5.6(a) and Section 5.7(b)) shall be disregarded for all purposes of this ARTICLE X, including for (i) determining whether there is a failure of any of the representations or warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement to be true and correct as of the applicable date set forth in Section 10.2(a)(i) and Section 10.3(a)(i) and (ii) determining the amount of Losses based upon or arising from any such failure.

10.6 Calculation of Losses.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE X shall be calculated net of, and reduced by (i) any amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party pursuant to any Contract to which it is a party or any applicable insurance coverage (including any applicable corporate indemnification or director and officer insurance) covering such Losses and (ii) any cash Tax benefit actually realized by the indemnified party in connection with any of the events or circumstances giving rise or otherwise related to such Losses in the year the applicable indemnification payment is made. Purchaser shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to recover under any such Contract or insurance coverage prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

(b) With respect to any claim for indemnification for any matter not involving an Indemnification Claim, in valuing a Loss, no adjustment shall be made as a result of any multiple, increase factor, or any premium over fair market, book, or historical value that may have been paid by Purchaser for the Shares, whether or not such multiple, increase factor or other premium had been used by Purchaser at the time of, or in connection with, calculating its bid for the Shares, its proposed purchase price for the Shares or the final purchase price for the Shares.

(c) Any Loss subject to indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery due to the facts giving rise to such Loss constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

10.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE X as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

10.8 Exclusive Remedy; Waiver. Except as set forth in Section 3.3 and except for claims of intentional fraud with respect to the representations and warranties of the parties set forth in this Agreement, following the Closing, (a) the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims arising (directly or indirectly) under, out of, or related to this Agreement (including (i) the transactions contemplated hereby and any representations and warranties set forth herein, made in connection herewith or made as an inducement to enter into this Agreement and (ii) any certificates to be delivered hereunder), or the sale and purchase of the Shares, shall be the rights of indemnification set forth in ARTICLE X only, and (b) no Person will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in Contract, tort or otherwise, or whether at Law or in equity, and regardless of the legal theory under which such entitlement, remedy or recourse may be sought or imposed (including all rights afforded by any statute which limits the effects of a release with respect to unknown claims), it being agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and recourse are expressly waived and released by the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by Law. The provisions of this Section 10.8, together with the provisions of Sections 5.21, 7.9 and 11.5, and the limited remedies provided in Section 3.3 and this ARTICLE X, were specifically bargained for among Purchaser, the Company and Seller in arriving at the Purchase Price and in agreeing to provide the specific representations and warranties set forth herein. The Company and Seller have specifically relied upon the provisions of this Section 10.8, together with the provisions of Sections 5.21, 7.9 and 11.5, and the limited remedies provided in Section 3.3 and this ARTICLE X, in agreeing to the Purchase Price and in agreeing to provide the specific representations and warranties set forth herein.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser shall bear its own costs and expenses (including any legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

11.2 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Related Documents and all Related Claims shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rules (whether of the State of Delaware or otherwise) that would

cause the application of Laws of any other jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto agrees that except as specifically set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, all claims or causes of action (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against any Financing Source in any way relating to any Debt Financing or the performance thereof, shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

11.3 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Except as provided in Section 3.3, the parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) over all claims or causes of action (whether in Contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Related Documents or the Related Claims, and (ii) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York (or any appellate court therefrom), for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding against any Financing Source arising out of the Debt Financing or the performance thereof, and, in each case, each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute, claim or cause of action or any Legal Proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute, claim or cause of action brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any Legal Proceeding by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7.

11.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST IT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY RELATED CLAIMS AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS CONTEMPLATED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (INCLUDING ANY DEBT FINANCING).

11.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits to this Agreement) and the Related Documents contain the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and

contemporaneous agreements and understandings (including any offer letters or term sheets), whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter. The parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exclusively in Contract pursuant to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in or contemplated by this Agreement. Furthermore, the parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations, and all parties to this Agreement specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary purchaser and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction.

11.6 Amendments and Waivers. Subject to Section 8.12 and Section 8.19, this Agreement and the Related Documents can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof or thereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement (and, if applicable, the Related Documents) signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought; provided that this Section 11.6 and Sections 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.9, 11.10 and 11.14 (and the related definitions and other provisions of this Agreement to the extent a modification would serve to modify the substance of such provisions in a manner adverse to a Financing Source) may not be amended or modified in a manner that is adverse to any Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement or the Related Documents, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party (including any Financing Source) taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission), (c) one (1) Business Day following the day sent by overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), or (d) on the date the delivering party receives confirmation, if delivered by e-mail, in each case at the following addresses, facsimile numbers and e-mail addresses (or to such other address, facsimile number or e-mail address as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

11.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement or the Related Documents is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement or the Related Documents shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Any such term or provision held invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement or the Related Documents so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.9 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding solely upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person or entity not a party to this Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including Sections 8.7, 8.19 and ARTICLE X); provided that the Financing Sources shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 11.9 and Sections 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.6, 11.10 and 11.14). No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party hereto, directly or indirectly (by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided that, without the need for consent, Purchaser may (a) make a collateral assignment of its rights (but not obligations) under this Agreement to any Financing Source providing Debt Financing to Purchaser and (b) may assign all of its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to purchase and acquire the Shares to a wholly owned Subsidiary of Purchaser. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the parties hereto of any such obligations. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

11.10 Non-Recourse. All claims or causes of action (whether in Contract or in tort, in Law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out of or by reason of, be connected with, or related in any manner to this Agreement, the Related Documents or the Related Claims may be made only against (and are expressly limited to) the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto or thereto (the “Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (“Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in Contract or in tort, in Law or in equity, or granted by statute or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for

any claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to this Agreement or the Related Documents or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the Related Documents or their negotiation, execution performance or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at Law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any Non-Party Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise; and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Non-Party Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or the Related Documents or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement or the Related Documents. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Non-Party Affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 11.10.

11.11 Specific Performance. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other party hereto and that neither party will have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, prior to termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.3, the obligations of Seller under this Agreement, including Seller’s obligation to sell the Shares to Purchaser, and the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement, including Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and acquire the Shares from Seller, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that Seller and the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance of Purchaser’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded to fund its obligations under Section 3.2(c) and Section 4.2(b)(i) and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement only in the event the Debt Financing has been funded in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter or a commitment from the Financing Sources that the Debt Financing will be funded in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded.

11.12 Counterparts. This Agreement and the Related Documents may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement or, as applicable, the Related Document, and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or the Related Documents electronically (including portable document format (.pdf)) or by facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.13 Provision Respecting Legal Representation.

(a) Each party to this Agreement agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and representatives, that Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP may serve as counsel to members of the Seller Group, on the one hand, and members of the Company Group, on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Related Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and that, following the Closing, Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP (or any successor thereof) may serve as counsel to any member of the Seller Group or any Affiliate or representative thereof in connection with any Legal Proceeding, litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to such transactions or this Agreement or the Related Documents notwithstanding such prior representation of any member of the Company Group, and each party to this Agreement consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each party to this Agreement shall cause its Affiliates and representatives to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation.

(b) Each party to this Agreement agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and representatives, that Xxxxxxxxx LLP may serve as counsel to members of the Seller Group, on the one hand, and members of the Company Group, on the other hand, in connection with the Excluded Legal Proceedings, and that, following the Closing, Xxxxxxxxx LLP (or any successor thereof) may serve as counsel to any member of the Seller Group or any Affiliate or representative thereof in connection with any such Legal Proceeding (and furthermore, Xxxxxxxxx LLP (or any successor thereof) may additionally serve as counsel to any member of the Company Group in connection with the Excluded Legal Proceedings pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.4(d)) notwithstanding such prior representation of any member of the Company Group, and each party to this Agreement consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each party to this Agreement shall cause its Affiliates and representatives to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation.

11.14 Financing Related Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that none of the Financing Sources shall have any liability or obligation to the Seller or any of its Affiliates relating to this Agreement, any related documentation or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein (including any Debt Financing). This Section 11.14 is intended to benefit and may be enforced by any Financing Source and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Seller.

11.15 Amendment and Restatement; Consent. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Original SPA. This Agreement shall be deemed effective as of the Effective Date. This Agreement constitutes the consent of Seller and the Company for all purposes of the Original SPA to the termination of the Debt Commitment Letter (as defined in the Original SPA) and the Debt Financing (as defined in the Original SPA).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be expressed or implied in this Guarantee or any document or instrument delivered contemporaneously herewith, and notwithstanding the fact that Guarantor or any of its successors or permitted assignees may be a partnership or a limited liability company, Company, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Person other than Guarantor and its successors and permitted assignees shall have any obligation hereunder, and that it has no rights of recovery against, and no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith shall be had against, any former, current or future director, officer, agent, advisor, attorney, representative, Affiliate (other than Guarantor, Purchaser and their successors and permitted assignees), manager or employee of Guarantor or Purchaser (or any of their successors or assignees), against any former, current or future general or limited partner, manager, member or stockholder of Guarantor or Purchaser (or any of their successors or assignees) or any Affiliate thereof (other than Guarantor and Purchaser and their

successors and permitted assignees) or against any former, current or future director, officer, agent, advisor, attorney, representative, employee, Affiliate (other than Guarantor, Purchaser and their successors and permitted assignees), assignee (other than Guarantor, Purchaser and their successors and permitted assignees), general or limited partner, stockholder, manager or member of any of the foregoing (each, other than Guarantor, Purchaser and their successors and permitted assignees, a “Guarantor/Purchaser Affiliate”), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of Purchaser against the Guarantor/Purchaser Affiliates, by the enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise. Company (for itself and its controlled Affiliates) acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, Purchaser has no monetary assets and that no funds are expected to be contributed to Purchaser unless the Closing shall occur. Company further agrees that neither it nor any of its controlled Affiliates have any right of recovery hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith against Guarantor or any of its stockholders, partners, members, directors, officers or agents through Purchaser, or otherwise, whether by piercing of the corporate veil, by a claim on behalf of Purchaser against Guarantor, Purchaser’s equityholders or Affiliates, or otherwise, except for the rights under this Guarantee (subject to the Cap and the other limitations described herein) and as a third-party beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the equity commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) of even date herewith pursuant to which Guarantor has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, to make an equity contribution to Purchaser. Recourse against Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Company and its Affiliates against Guarantor and any Guarantor/Purchaser Affiliates in respect of any liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, the Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or otherwise), Company is a third-party beneficiary of the rights granted to Purchaser pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter for the purpose of obtaining specific performance of Purchaser’s right to cause the Equity Commitment (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) to be funded pursuant to the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter. Company expressly agrees and acknowledges that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any Guarantor/Purchaser Affiliate, as such, for any obligations of Guarantor under this Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby, under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and it shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its Affiliates not to institute, any proceeding or bring any other claim arising under, or in connection with, the Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, against Guarantor or any of the Guarantor/Purchaser Affiliates except for (x) claims against Guarantor under this Guarantee upon termination of the Agreement under circumstances in which amounts are payable pursuant to Section 4.5(a) of the Agreement and (y) claims against Guarantor under the Equity Commitment Letter pursuant to the third-party beneficiary rights granted thereunder to Company. Nothing set forth in this Guarantee shall affect or be construed to affect or be construed to

confer or give any Person other than Company (including any Person acting in a representative capacity) any rights or remedies against any Person other than Guarantor as set forth herein.

Section 4. Guarantor’s obligation pursuant to this Guarantee (subject to the Cap) is an unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and not of collectability. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest of:

(a) completion of the Closing;

(b) such time as each and all of the Guaranteed Obligations (subject to the Cap) shall have been fully paid and performed in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement; and

(c) the date that is thirty (30) days following any permitted termination of the Agreement, unless prior to such date Company shall have commenced proceedings to enforce this Guarantee, in which case this Guarantee shall terminate upon and in accordance with the final completion of such proceedings and after payment in full of amounts due in accordance with such proceedings, if any.

Except to the extent that this Guarantee is terminated as set forth directly above, this Guarantee shall not be revoked or terminated and shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (subject to the Cap). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Company or any of its Affiliates asserts in any litigation or other proceeding before a Governmental Body relating to this Guarantee that the provisions of Section 1 hereof limiting Guarantor’s liability to the Cap or the provisions of this Section 4 or Section 3 hereof are illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part or seeks any remedies or asserts and theories of liability against any Guarantor/Purchaser Affiliate with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement other than those remedies expressly provided against Purchaser under the Agreement or against Guarantor under this Guarantee (as limited by the provisions of Section 1), then (i) all obligations of Guarantor under this Guarantee shall terminate and thereupon shall be null and void, (ii) if Guarantor has previously made any payments under this Guarantee, it shall be entitled to recover such payments and (iii) neither Guarantor nor any Guarantor/Purchaser Affiliate (other than Purchaser) shall have any liability to Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or under this Guarantee.

Section 5. Company shall have no obligation to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Agreement or to proceed first against Purchaser or any other Person or entity, or resort to any security or make any effort to obtain payment and/or performance by Purchaser or any other Person or entity. No delay or omission by Company to exercise any right under this Guarantee shall impair any right, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver thereof. No waiver of any single breach or default under this Guarantee shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default.

Section 6. Company shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to any Guaranteed Obligations in the event that Purchaser becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of Company to so file a claim shall not affect any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (subject to the Cap), as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Company upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Purchaser. Except as expressly provided herein, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and shall cause its Affiliates not to institute, any action, suit or other proceeding asserting that this Guarantee or any portion thereof is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms.

Section 7. The liability of Guarantor under this Guarantee (subject to the Cap) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, irrespective of, except as expressly set forth herein: (a) any change in time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other amendment to, modification of, waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Agreement, (b) the value, genuineness, irregularity, illegality, invalidity or enforceability of the Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein; (c) any change in ownership of Guarantor or Purchaser or the dissolution, liquidation or other change in the corporate existence of Purchaser or Guarantor; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of, or other similar proceedings involving, Purchaser; (e) any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; (f) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that Guarantor may have at any time against Purchaser, whether in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation or otherwise; (g) the adequacy of any other means Company may have of obtaining repayment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (h) the addition, substitution or release of any Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

Section 8. Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for payment, notice of acceptance and other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guarantee (except for notices to be provided to Purchaser in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Agreement) and any requirement that Company protect, secure or perfect any security interest or exhaust any right or first proceed against Purchaser or any other Person or entity and all rights and benefits under applicable Law purporting to reduce any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, including any right of set-off or counterclaim.

Section 9. Company may, without notice to Guarantor and without affecting in any way Company’s rights hereunder:

(a) modify or otherwise change any terms of all or any part of the Agreement (in accordance with the terms thereof) or grant any extension(s) or renewal(s) for any period or periods of time for payment and/or performance or grant any other indulgence(s) with respect thereto and effect any release,

compromise or settlement with respect thereto;

(b) enter into any agreement of forbearance with respect to all or any part of any payment and/or performance due under the Agreement, and change the terms of any such agreement;

(d) release or effect any settlement or compromise with respect to the payment and/or performance of the Agreement by Purchaser or any other party primarily or secondarily liable for the payment and/or performance obligations of the Agreement.

Section 10. Without limiting Guarantor’s own defenses and rights hereunder, Guarantor hereby reserves to itself all rights, setoffs, counterclaims and other defenses to which Purchaser is or may be entitled arising from or out of the Agreement, except for defenses arising out of bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of Purchaser and those expressly waived by this Guarantee.

Section 11. Guarantor represents and warrants to Company that:

(a) Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full power and legal right to execute and deliver this Guarantee and to perform its obligations hereunder;

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee by Guarantor have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary partnership action and do not contravene any provision of its organizational documents or any Law or contravene or violate any provision of, or result in the termination or acceleration of, or entitle any party to accelerate any obligation or indebtedness under, any mortgage, lease, franchise, license, permit, Contract or instrument, to which Guarantor is a party or by which any of Guarantor’s assets or properties are bound;

(c) No other entity or governing body proceedings or approvals on the part of the Guarantor or any direct or indirect equity holders, managers or partners are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee;

(d) No notice to, filing with or consent or approval of any Governmental Body having jurisdiction is required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee and no other proceedings or actions on the part of Guarantor or any other Person (other than any proceedings that have previously occurred or actions that have been previously taken) are necessary in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee;

(e) This Guarantee has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equity principles; and

(f) Guarantor has the financial capacity to pay and perform all of its obligations under this Guarantee, and all funds necessary to fulfill the Guaranteed Obligations (subject to the Cap) under this Guarantee shall be available to Guarantor for as long as this Guarantee shall remain in effect.

Section 12. This Guarantee shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Company and its successors and permitted assigns. Neither Guarantor nor Company may assign this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent may be withheld for any reason, and any assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void; provided, however, that Guarantor may assign its rights, interests and obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of Company, to any Affiliate and that if a portion of Guarantor’s commitment under its Equity Commitment Letter is assigned in accordance with the terms thereof, then a corresponding portion of its obligations hereunder may be assigned to the same assignee; provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no assignment of any of Guarantor’s rights, interests or obligations hereunder will relieve Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 13. Until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (subject to the Cap), Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and relinquishes any claim, right, or remedy that Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Purchaser, or any of its assets or property that arises hereunder or from the performance by Guarantor hereunder, including, without limitation, any claim, right, or remedy of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right, or remedy that Guarantor may have against Purchaser, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law, or otherwise.
