(i)             If Sellers object to any item set forth on the Final Statement prepared and delivered in accordance with ‎Section 2.4(b), Sellers must notify Purchaser in writing of their objections in reasonable detail on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after Sellers’ receipt of the Final Statement (the “Review Period”). During such Review Period, Sellers and their Representatives shall have reasonable access to the books and records of the Company Entities, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Purchaser and/or the Company Entities and their respective Representatives, including Purchaser’s accountants, to the extent that they are reasonably required for the purpose of reviewing the Final Statement and preparing any objections to the Final Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Purchaser’s possession) relating to the Final Statement as Sellers may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Final Statement and preparing any objections, provided, that, such access shall be in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Purchaser or the Company Entities.

If Sellers do so object, and if Purchaser and Sellers have not agreed on a resolution of those objections within thirty (30) days following the date of delivery of Sellers’ notice of objection pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(i), Purchaser or Sellers may submit the items in dispute to Deloitte (the “Independent Accountant”) for a final and binding determination thereof, with the fees of the Independent Accountant incurred in connection with such determination to be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and/or Sellers in the following manner: (i) if the Independent Accountant resolves all disputed items in favor of one Party, the other Party shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of such fees and expenses; and (ii) if the Independent Accountant resolves some disputed items in favor of each Party, then such fees and expenses shall be allocated between Purchaser and Sellers in reverse proportion to the relative success of each Party, as determined by the Independent Accountant based on the aggregate dollar value of the disputed items resolved in favor of each Party. The Independent Accountant shall set forth such allocation in its written determination to be delivered to the Parties under this Section 2.4(c)(ii). The result of such determination by the Independent Accountant shall be reflected in a definitive final statement of the Closing Date Distribution Amount, the Permitted Distribution Amount, the Specified Receivable, the Conetoe II Utility Outage Adjustment, the Ticking Fee, the Portfolio Management Fee, the Credit Support Fee and the Adjustment Amount as determined by the Independent Accountant, together with a statement from the Independent Accountant confirming that such statement correctly reflects the items in dispute as of the Closing Date. The Independent Accountant shall make its determination as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days after the submission of the dispute to it. In resolving any such objection, the Independent Accountant shall examine and render a determination solely with respect to those items in dispute, and may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Purchaser or Sellers or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either Purchaser or Sellers.

(d)            Settlement. If the Adjustment Amount (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4) is positive, then on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after such final determination of the Adjustment Amount, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers an amount equal to the Adjustment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to such account(s) as designated in writing by Sellers to Purchaser. If the Adjustment Amount (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4) is negative, then on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after such final determination, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser an amount equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to such account(s) as designated in writing by Purchaser to Sellers.

(e)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that Purchaser and its Affiliates and their Representatives may rely, in good faith, on Section 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, without any obligation to investigate or verify the accuracy or correctness thereof, and to make payments in accordance therewith.

Section 2.5            Tax Treatment. Any payments made with respect to adjustments made pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be deemed to be, and each of Sellers and Purchaser shall treat such payments as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes to the extent permitted by Law.

Section 2.6            Allocation of Purchase Price. Sellers and Purchaser agree to allocate the aggregate Closing Purchase Price (and any other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes) first, among the Companies consistent with the second sentence of Section 2.2 and, second, among the assets of each such Company Entity in accordance with Sections 1060, 743, 741 and 755 of the Code, as applicable (the “Allocation”). Sellers and Purchaser agree that Purchaser shall prepare and provide to Sellers a draft Allocation within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, but in no event later than March 31 of the year following the year that includes the Closing Date Sellers shall notify Purchaser within twenty (20) days of receipt of such draft Allocation of any objection Sellers may have thereto. If Sellers do not object in writing to the Allocation within such period set forth above, the Allocation as prepared by Purchaser shall be deemed accepted by Sellers and constitute the finally determined Allocation. If Sellers object to such Allocation by means of written notice delivered to Purchaser within such twenty (20) days following receipt of Purchaser’s Allocation, Purchaser and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith and reasonably cooperate with each other for the fifteen (15) days thereafter (or such longer period of time as mutually agreed by Sellers and Purchaser) to resolve such objections. If after fifteen (15) days of receipt of written comments from Sellers, Purchaser and Sellers are unable to agree to a final Allocation, any unresolved disputes or objection shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution. The Independent Accountant shall make its determination as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days after the submission of the dispute to it, but in no event later than June 1 of the year following the year that includes the Closing Date (unless mutually agreed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Purchaser). The Independent Accountant’s determination with respect to each disputed matter shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The fees of the Independent Accountant incurred in connection with such determination shall be paid in a manner consistent with the payment of the fees to the Independent Accountant pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(ii). The Allocation shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price provided pursuant to Section 2.4. In addition, Sellers and Purchaser hereby undertake and agree to timely file any information that may be required to be filed for U.S. federal or state income tax purposes, including pursuant to United States Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1060(b) of the Code, and shall use the Allocation determined pursuant to this Section 2.6 in connection with the preparation of Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 as such form relates to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall file any Tax Return or other document or otherwise take any position which is inconsistent with the Allocation determined pursuant to this Section 2.6 except as may be adjusted by subsequent agreement following an audit by the IRS or by court decision.

Section 2.7            Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Sellers such amounts as are required to be withheld and paid to the applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority under the Code, or any other applicable provision of Law, provided, that, Purchaser shall, prior to any deduction or withholding, provide Sellers with written notice of its intent to withhold any such amounts at least ten (10) days prior to the time of such deduction or withholding, along with a description of the legal basis therefor, and cooperate in good faith with Sellers to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid to the applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(d)          To the extent relevant under this Agreement, all Taxes and Tax liabilities of, or with respect to, the income or operations of the Company Entities and the businesses or the assets and properties of the Company Entities that relate to the Overlap Period will be apportioned between the Pre-Effective Date Period and the Post-Effective Date Period in the following manner: (i) in the case of Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, property Taxes) other than income, sales and use and withholding Taxes, on a per diem basis; and (ii) in the case of income, sales and use and withholding Taxes, on a closing of the books basis as determined at the close of business on the Closing Effective Date provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated between the portion of the Overlap Period ending on and including the day prior to the Closing Effective Date and the portion of the Overlap Period beginning on the Closing Effective Date in proportion to the number of days in each such portion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Flow-Through Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Section 6.9(b) and (c) for purposes of Taxes that flow through to Sellers or their direct or indirect owners.

(e)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall pay any and all transfer Taxes, including documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, filing, recording, permit, license, authorization, controlling interest transfer and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest thereon) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchaser shall be responsible to timely file all necessary Tax Returns, affidavits and other documentation with respect to any such Transfer Taxes (“Transfer Tax Returns”), unless Sellers are required by applicable Law to file such Transfer Tax Returns and not able to agree otherwise with the Purchaser, in which case Sellers shall be responsible for filing such Transfer Tax Return. In either such case, such filing Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Transfer Tax Returns to the other Party for their review at least seven (7) days prior to the date such Transfer Tax Returns are due to be filed. The filing Party shall consider in good faith any comments provided by the non-filing Party with respect to such Transfer Tax Returns. The non-filing Party shall promptly reimburse the filing Party for its share of Transfer Taxes shown due on such Transfer Tax Returns, as applicable, and, shall (i) join in the execution of any such Transfer Tax Returns, affidavits and other documentation to the extent required by applicable Laws and (ii) reasonably cooperate with the filing Party to take such commercially reasonable actions as will minimize or reduce the amount of such Transfer Taxes.

(f)           Sellers and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party, in connection with any audit, examination or other proceeding relating to Taxes of the Company Entities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers shall have the exclusive authority to control any audit or examination by any taxing authority, initiate any claim for refund for Taxes paid by the Company Entities prior to the Pre-Effective Date Period, amend any Flow-Through Tax Return, in each case, for which Sellers are liable on a pass-through basis that relates to a Pre-Closing Period, and, at Seller’s expense, contest, resolve and defend against any assessment for additional Taxes, notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of or relating to any Tax liability of any Company Entity, in each case, for which Sellers are liable on a pass-through basis with respect to any Flow-Through Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Period (each, a “Seller Tax Matter”), provided, however, that Sellers shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense) reasonable participation rights with respect to so much of any Seller Tax Matter that is reasonably likely to materially affect the Tax liability of Purchaser or the Company Entities for any taxable period after the Closing Date and shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Seller Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Purchaser shall have the exclusive authority to control any audit or examination by any taxing authority of any other Tax Return of the Company Entities for the Pre-Closing Period filed by Purchaser after the Closing, subject to Sellers’ reasonable participation rights (at Sellers’ expense). With respect to any such Tax matter for a Post-Closing Tax Return relating to any amount of Tax for which Sellers or their Affiliates may be responsible (in whole or in part) pursuant to this Agreement (or by operation of law), Purchaser shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise such Tax matter that relates to a Flow-Through Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Period or otherwise adversely affects or may adversely affect the Tax liability of Sellers or their Affiliates without the prior written consent of Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be authorized to cause to be made (and Sellers shall cooperate with) the election provided by Section 6226 of the Code (or any similar election under state, local or non-U.S. law) with respect to any Seller Tax Matter involving any income Tax Return of any Company Entity for any Pre-Closing Period if permitted by applicable Law.

(g)          With respect to any Seller Tax Matter relating to a Partnership Entity, (A) Sellers shall have the right to name one of the Sellers (or any other Person selected by Sellers) to act as the “partnership representative” or “designated individual” or “tax matters partner” consistent with the requirements under Section 6223 of the Code for each year that is subject of such Seller Tax Matter, and Purchaser shall cooperate (and cause its Affiliates to cooperate) with Sellers to properly make such designations in accordance with all applicable guidance (including cooperating to cause any person to file forms requested by Sellers to resign) to the extent consistent with applicable Law; (B) no person acting as the “partnership representative” or “designated individual” or “tax matters partner” in connection with such Seller Tax Matter shall be entitled to make any election or decision with respect to such Seller Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (C) none of Purchaser or the Company Entities shall remove or replace (or permit the removal or replacement of) any such Seller or other designated Person (or the relevant Affiliate) from such roles with respect to such periods unless required by applicable Law or the applicable operating agreement for any such Partnership Entity as in effect immediately prior to the Closing.

(h)          Except as required by applicable Law, without Sellers’ consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, any Company Entity), to (i) take any actions outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date following the Closing, (ii) amend or approve or consent to the amendment, re-filing, revocation or other modification of any Tax Return of any Company Entity for a Pre-Closing Period, or (iii) voluntarily approach any Tax authority regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of any Company Entity relating to a Pre-Closing Period.

Section 6.10         Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time or from time to time after the Closing, at any Party’s request and without further consideration, the other Party shall execute and deliver to such Party such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, provide such materials and information and take such other actions and execute and deliver such other documents as such Party may reasonably request in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

Section 6.11         Termination of Affiliate Obligations. Except as set forth in Section 6.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, at or prior to Closing, Sellers shall, or shall cause the Company Entities to, terminate and release all Contracts and Liabilities between the Company Entities, on the one hand, and Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Company Entities), on the other hand, including, without limitation, the Contracts set forth on Section 6.11(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Sellers agree, among themselves, that any amounts owing as of Closing by a Subsidiary of a Symphony Entity to Deriva Energy and/or any of its Affiliates, and discharged under this Section 6.11, shall be paid by such Symphony Entity to Deriva Energy and/or its applicable Affiliate from the portion of the Closing Purchase Price allocable to such Symphony Entity pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

Section 6.12         Support Obligations. With respect to each guaranty, letter of credit, indemnity, performance or surety bond, cash deposit or other credit support arrangement issued by or for the account of the Company Entities and posted or provided by Sellers or Sellers’ Affiliates (other than the Company Entities), or by Duke or any of its Affiliates, including those items that are listed in Section 6.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Support Obligations”), Purchaser shall furnish or obtain, as of or within 30 Business Days following the Closing, substitute credit support arrangements in replacement for the Support Obligations (including by furnishing letters of credit or cash collateral) and shall ensure that Sellers, Sellers’ Affiliates, Duke and its Affiliates (as applicable) and, where applicable, their sureties or letter of credit issuers be fully and unconditionally released from their respective obligations under or otherwise with respect to the Support Obligations (with outstanding letters of credit returned by cancellation), in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sellers or the beneficiary of Sellers’ credit support; provided that, with respect to cash deposits, Sellers may elect to have such collateral not replaced by Purchaser and instead leave such collateral in place as of Closing, provided, further, that Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include Duke or any of its Affiliates) to, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with the foregoing; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall furnish or obtain substitute credit support arrangements in replacement for the Specified Support Obligations, and shall ensure that Sellers, Sellers’ Affiliates, Duke and its Affiliates (as applicable) be fully and unconditionally released from their respective obligations under or otherwise with respect to the Specified Support Obligations simultaneously with the Closing, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sellers or the beneficiary of Sellers’ credit support. Notwithstanding Purchaser’s compliance with this Section 6.12, if any such Support Obligation remains outstanding after the Closing, Purchaser shall, effective as of the Closing and until the earlier of release of all Support Obligations by Sellers, Duke or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, (a) indemnify, defend or hold harmless, Sellers, Duke, their respective Affiliates and their respective managers, officers, directors, employees, representatives, successors and assigns from and against, and reimburse and compensate them for, any and all Losses (including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses) incurred by any of them relating to the applicable Support Obligation the release of which did not occur as of the Closing, and not permit any Company Entity to, amend, modify or renew any Contract giving rise to such Support Obligations without the prior written consent of Sellers, and (b) pay to Sellers the applicable fee indicated on Section 6.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which fee shall be due and payable by Purchaser to Sellers in monthly installments in arrears until the release of all Support Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, during the Interim Period, Sellers and/or Sellers’ Affiliates (including the Company Entities) shall be entitled, in their sole discretion, to replace Specified Support Obligations currently posted or provided by Duke or its Affiliates with cash deposits, letters of credit, guaranties or performance bonds in amounts not materially greater than the amounts set forth on Section 6.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which if posted or provided by Sellers or Sellers’ Affiliates other than the Company Entities, shall be treated as Support Obligations required to be replaced by Purchaser hereunder; provided that any such replacement cash deposits, letters of credit, guaranties or performance bonds shall not be direct obligations of any Company Entities.

Section 6.13         Insurance. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for providing insurance to the Company Entities after the Closing. Purchaser acknowledges that, effective upon the Closing, Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates may terminate or modify the Insurance Policies to exclude coverage of the Company Entities, the businesses of the Company Entities and their respective properties from the Insurance Policies or any other policies of insurance maintained by Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 6.14         R&W Insurance Policy. On the date of this Agreement, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates may bind a “buyer’s” representations and warranties insurance policy, in respect of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document or other instrument contemplated by or delivered in connection with this Agreement (such policy, the “R&W Insurance Policy”). All premiums, underwriting fees, brokers’ commissions and other costs and expenses related to the R&W Insurance Policy shall be borne solely by Purchaser or one or more of its Affiliates. The R&W Insurance Policy shall expressly waive any claims of subrogation against Sellers and their respective Affiliates, except for Fraud with respect to the making of the representations and warranties contained in Article III and Article IV (such provisions, the “Seller R&W Provisions”). The Parties acknowledge that Purchaser obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy is a material inducement to each of the Parties’ entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy is not a condition to the Closing, and Purchaser shall remain obligated, subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement regardless of whether the R&W Insurance Policy becomes effective. Prior to binding the R&W Insurance Policy, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such policy and to verify compliance with the applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement, and will cooperate reasonably with Sellers’ reasonable requests from time to time in connection therewith. Neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall (and the Company Entities shall not after the Closing), either prior to or following the Closing, amend, terminate, modify or waive the Seller R&W Provisions in a manner that would adversely affect Sellers or any of their Affiliates (including the Company Entities prior to Closing) without the prior written consent of the Sellers. From and after the date hereof, Purchaser shall: (a) comply with and maintain the R&W Insurance Policy in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and (b) take all actions needed to satisfy on a timely basis all conditions necessary for the continuance of coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 6.15         Records Retention. Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company Entities to, retain, for at least seven (7) years after the Closing Date, all books, records and other documents of the Company Entities to the extent relating to events that occurred prior to the Closing, or for any longer periods as may be required by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority or ongoing litigation, and, upon reasonable prior notice from the Sellers, during normal business hours and at Sellers’ cost and expense, to make the same (or copies thereof) available to Sellers to the extent (i) relating to events that occurred prior to the Closing and (ii) needed for a legitimate business purpose. In the event Purchaser, the Company Entities or their respective Affiliates wish to destroy any such books, records, or other documents after such time, Purchaser shall first give ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Sellers and Sellers shall have the right, at their option and expense, upon prior notice given to Purchaser within such ninety (90) day period, to take possession of the books and records that existed as of the Closing Date within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of such notice. Sellers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and the Company Entities from and against any claims, demands, actions, causes of action or Losses that they or any of them may suffer or incur, or that may be made or brought against any of them, as a result of, in respect of, or arising out of the activities of Sellers under this Section 6.15.

Section 6.16         [Reserved].

Section 6.17         Use of Certain Names.

(a)          As soon as practicable following the Closing, (x) but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the applicable Company Entities to, file such documents and take, or cause to be taken, such necessary actions, to file with competent Governmental or Regulatory Authorities to change the corporate names of the Company Entities, and (y) but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing, (collectively, and as applicable, “Phase Out Period”), Purchaser shall, and shall cause the applicable Company Entities to, cease and permanently discontinue any and all uses of the names “Deriva” and “Duke” and any trademark, service mark, Internet domain name, or any other indicia of origin comprising or including any of the foregoing terms, including all logos and trade dress, including color schemes, associated therewith, including, as shown on Section 6.17(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, as used by the applicable Company Entities, in connection with the conduct of the business of the applicable Company Entities (the “Seller Parent Marks”), and any words or expressions similar thereto or constituting an abbreviation or extension thereof or that could reasonably be expected to, in each case, raise a likelihood of confusion with the Seller Parent Marks and remove or cover all Seller Parent Marks from, or destroy, any publications, signage, corporate letterhead, invoices, stationery, business cards, marketing materials, website content or other materials or things in the applicable Company Entities’ possession or under the applicable Company Entities’ control bearing any of the Seller Parent Marks, provided, however, that such requirement shall not apply to the reference to prior entity names in applicable Governmental or Regulatory Approvals or within the Company Entities’ Contracts to the extent Purchaser uses commercially reasonable efforts to change such reference during the Phase Out Period and is unsuccessful. Purchaser further agrees and undertakes, and shall cause the Company Entities to further agree and undertake, to make no use, during or after the Phase Out Period, of any and all names, trademarks, service marks, Internet domain names, or any other indicia of origin that were historically used in connection with the business of the applicable Company Entities, but are no longer in use, including those comprising “Symphony” and “Wind Star”. During the Phase Out Period, Purchaser and the Company Entities are granted a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferrable, royalty-free license to use the Seller Parent Marks (other than Duke) in accordance with this Section 6.17. During the term of this license, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and the Company Entities, that: (a) they acquire no rights in the Seller Parent Marks outside of their licensed rights; (b) all rights in the Seller Parent Marks, registered and unregistered including goodwill, are the exclusive property of their respective owners, inuring thereto, and that they obtain no rights in the Seller Parent Marks; (c) they will not use the Seller Parent Marks in any way or do anything that is likely to adversely affect the reputation in the Seller Parent Marks during the term of their license or afterwards; (d) they will not during the term of their license and use or afterwards use the Seller Parent Marks in any way or do anything that is likely to adversely affect Seller Parent Marks, including any trademark applications or registrations, the Seller Parent Marks respective owners’ right and title thereto, or the validity or distinctiveness of the Seller Parent Marks, and they will ensure that their use of the Seller Parent Marks comply with all laws within the territories of its use; (e) the Seller Parent Marks are the product of significant time and resources which, if misused or infringed in any way, would cause significant damage to respective owners of the Seller Parent Marks; (f) they will not apply to register any trademarks, tradenames, domain names or other indicia or identifiers consisting of or containing the Seller Parent Marks or assist any other party to do so during the term of their license and use or afterwards; (g) they will maintain at least the current standard with respect to the nature, character and quality of the associated services and any goods, and comply with the reasonable standards and directions of Sellers and the respective owners of the Seller Parent Marks as to use of the Seller Parent Marks, including all standards and directions that have and may be provided from time to time in respect of the nature, character and quality of goods and services provided in association with the Seller Parent Marks; (h) they will inform Sellers and the respective owners of the Seller Parent Marks of any infringements of the Seller Parent Marks and fully cooperate with any actions Sellers and the respective owners of the Seller Parent Marks choose, at their sole discretion, to take; (i) they must not make any admission, settlement or compromise in relation to the Seller Parent Marks, without Sellers’ and the respective owners of the Seller Parent Marks’ prior written approval; (j) they shall indemnify and save harmless Sellers and the respective owners of the Seller Parent Marks from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, demands, actions and causes of action whatsoever arising in connection with or relating directly or indirectly to any third party actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to their use of the Seller Parent Marks, including the reasonable costs and legal fees incurred in the investigation, defense or settlement of any such losses, liabilities, claims, demands, actions and causes of action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no license is granted for the Seller Parent Mark, “Duke” or any trademark, service mark, Internet domain name, or any other indicia of origin comprising or including such term, including all logos and trade dress, including color schemes, associated therewith.

(b)          Without limiting any of the obligations in Section 6.17(a), in no event shall Purchaser or any of its Affiliates use any of the Seller Parent Marks after the Closing in any manner or for any purpose different from the use of such Seller Parent Marks by the applicable Company Entities preceding the Closing, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall affix any of the Seller Parent Marks or words or expressions similar thereto or constituting an abbreviation or extension thereof or that could reasonably be expected to, in each case, raise a likelihood of confusion with the Seller Parent Marks on any publications, signage, corporate letterhead, invoices, stationery, business cards, marketing materials, website content or other materials or things that are created or produced after the Closing.

(c)          Purchaser expressly acknowledges and confirms that, except the limited right to use Seller Parent Marks as provided in Section 6.17(a), (i) Purchaser shall not receive any right, title or interest in or to the Seller Parent Marks and (ii) from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the applicable Company Entities not to, use Seller Parent Marks or any trademarks substantially similar thereto, and Purchaser acknowledges that it, its Affiliates and the Company Entities have no rights whatsoever to apply to register any Seller Parent Marks or any trademarks substantially similar thereto in any jurisdiction.

Section 6.18         KYC/AML Requirements under Financing Arrangements. Purchaser hereby agrees to fully cooperate with Sellers and the Company Entities in satisfying all “Know Your Customer” requirements (collectively, the “KYC Requirements”), “Anti-Money Laundering” requirements (collectively, the “AML Requirements”), and all other similar obligations or requirements under any and all financing agreements or similar agreements that are currently in place or may be executed by any of the Company Entities after the date hereof. Purchaser shall, at its own cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all information and documentation reasonably necessary to enable Sellers and/or the Company Entities to comply with any KYC Requirements, AML Requirements, or any other similar obligations or requirements under such financing agreements or similar agreements, prior to Closing.

Section 6.19         Transfer of Certain Assets; Delayed Transferred Assets.

(a)          Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer, or cause one or more of their Affiliates to transfer, to one or more of the Company Entities prior to the Closing the assets set forth on Section 6.19 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”), in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth on Section 6.19 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. If and to the extent that any such transfer of a Transferred Asset prior to Closing would result in the failure to obtain any consent, approval, waiver or authorization required for such transfer (“Transferred Asset Consent”), then, with respect to any such Transferred Asset (each a “Delayed Transferred Asset”) such Delayed Transferred Asset shall not be transferred to one or more Company Entities prior to the Closing and instead such transfer shall be automatically deferred until such time as each Transferred Asset Consent applicable to such Delayed Transferred Asset is obtained. In the event of any Delayed Transferred Asset:

(i)           Sellers and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain each such Transferred Asset Consent and thereafter transfer the Delayed Transferred Asset to one or more Company Entities;

(ii)          Following the Closing until such transfer of the Delayed Transferred Asset is complete, Sellers shall, directly or indirectly, (i) hold such Delayed Transferred Asset for the use and benefit of the Company Entities (at the expense of Purchaser) insofar as reasonably practicable; and (ii) to the extent not prohibited, take or cause to be taken such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser (including entry into such cooperative arrangements as may be reasonably acceptable to Sellers and Purchaser) in order to place Purchaser, insofar as reasonably practicable, in substantially the same position as if such Delayed Transferred Asset had been transferred as contemplated by this Section 6.19 prior to the Closing and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Delayed Transferred Asset (including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and control over such Delayed Transferred Asset) are to inure to the Company Entities from and after the Closing; and

(iii)         None of Sellers or their Affiliates shall be obligated to expend any money with respect to any Delayed Transferred Asset unless the necessary funds are first advanced by Purchaser.

(b)          The Parties shall cause the Transferred Affiliate Agreements (as defined in Section 6.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) to be transferred to the “Transferee Entity” as set forth on Section 6.19 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, or, if reasonably requested by Purchaser, to one or more other Affiliates of Purchaser, in each case effective upon Closing; provided, however, that if such “Transferee Entity” (or, if so requested, other Affiliates of Purchaser) will not accept such transfer of one or more Transferred Affiliate Agreements, then the applicable Transferred Affiliate Agreements instead will be transferred to one or more Company Entities consistent with clause (a) above.

Section 6.20         Electronic Data Room. Within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser, or shall make available for download by Purchaser, a true and correct digital copy of all documents in the Electronic Data Room as of the Closing Date.

Section 6.21         Books and Records. Except as included in the Electronic Data Room as of the Closing, Sellers shall provide to Purchaser, (a) reasonably promptly on or after the Closing, all material books and records of the Company Entities in the possession and control of Sellers or their Affiliates, including: (A) copies of annual or biennial reports filed in the state of formation of the applicable Company Entity, as well as any other jurisdiction where such Company Entity is qualified to do business; (B) a federal tax identification confirmation letter for the Company Entities; (C) all minutes and written resolutions of the Company Entities; (D) the contact information of the current registered agent for the Company Entities; (E) all Contracts to which a Company Entity is a party and has remaining obligations (including, but not limited to, all such Contracts with reasonably foreseeable indemnity obligations (including Material Contracts and other Contracts)), and (F) waste management records, records that support environmental reporting, and records that prove compliance with permit conditions (such records may include, for example, calculations, chemical inventory, employee training records, and inspection information), and (b) within ten (10) Business Days following the end of the month that includes the Closing, such trial balances for the Company Entities as are maintained in the ordinary course as of and for the month ended that includes the Closing, and trial balances for the Company Entities as of and for the period beginning on the first of the month and ending on the date of the Closing, including and specifically noting any intercompany activity between the Company Entities that would typically be eliminated in consolidation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.21, none of Sellers or their Affiliates shall be obligated to disclose, or cause to be disclosed, any information that could reasonably be expected to (i) violate any applicable Law, (ii) result in the loss of attorney-client privilege with respect to such information, (iii) result in a breach of an agreement to which Sellers or their Affiliates are a party, if Sellers or their Affiliates, as applicable, have made reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the other party to such agreement to such disclosure, or (iv) result in the disclosure of any trade secret or confidential information of third parties, if Sellers or their Affiliates, as applicable, have used reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such disclosure.

Article IX

NON-SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AND CERTAIN COVENANTS

Section 9.1           Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties and Certain Covenants.

(a)          Each of the representations and warranties and the covenants and agreements (solely to the extent such covenant or agreement is to be fully and finally performed by a Party on or prior to the Closing) of the Parties set forth in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated hereby, or in any certificate delivered hereunder or thereunder, will terminate effective immediately as of the Closing such that no claim for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought with respect thereto after the Closing, provided, however, that in the event of Fraud with respect to any representation or warranty made by a Party in this Agreement and in any certificate related to any such representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall survive and remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the Parties, until 11:59:59 P.M. EST on the date that is thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for such Fraud. Each covenant and agreement that explicitly contemplates performance after the Closing, will, in each case, expressly survive the Closing, and nothing in this Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 shall be deemed to limit any rights or remedies of any Party for breach of any such surviving covenant or agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Section 9.1 shall (a) affect or otherwise limit any claim made or available under the R&W Insurance Policy against the applicable insurer; or (b) apply with respect to Fraud.

(b)          Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree, that the agreements contained in this Section 9.1 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and that, without the agreements set forth in this Section 9.1, none of the Parties would enter into this Agreement.

Section 9.2           Release.

(a)          Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby, effective as of the Closing, Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their respective Representatives and Affiliates, and their respective heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Related Persons”), hereby release and forever discharge Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company Entities from and after the Closing) and Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ respective agents, representatives, directors, officers and employees and their respective representatives, successors and assigns (together, the “Purchaser Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, rights, causes of action, legal proceedings, Orders, remedies, obligations, damages and Liabilities of whatsoever kind or character arising as a result of any event or condition, or action or inaction of the Purchaser Released Parties, from the beginning of time until the Closing, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, both at law and in equity, which a Seller or its Seller Related Persons ever had, now has, or ever may have, against any Purchaser Released Party up to and including the Closing, in each case relating to, (i) Company Entities, (ii) the Units, (iii) the operation, management, use or control of the businesses of the Company Entities or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iv) any information provided by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to Sellers in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, except for (a) Fraud, or (b) the rights or obligations of any Person under this Agreement or related transaction documents contemplated under this Agreement.

(b)          Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby, effective as of the Closing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Representatives and Affiliates, and its and their heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Related Persons”), hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges, fully, finally and forever, Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates and Sellers’ and their respective Affiliates’ respective agents, representatives, directors, officers and employees (together, the “Seller Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, rights, causes of action, legal proceedings, Orders, remedies, obligations, damages and Liabilities of whatsoever kind or character, including any claim or right of contribution under or relating to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 1980, as amended, or any other Environmental Law, arising as a result of any event or condition, or action or inaction of the Seller Released Parties, from the beginning of time until the Closing, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, both at law and in equity, which Purchaser or its Purchaser Related Persons ever had, now has, or ever may have, against any Seller Released Party up to and including the Closing, in each case relating to, (i) the Company Entities, (ii) the Units, (iii) the operation, management, use or control of the businesses of the Company Entities or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iv) any information provided by Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates (including the Company Entities prior to the Closing) to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, except for (a) Fraud or (b) the rights or obligations of any Person under this Agreement or related transaction documents contemplated under this Agreement.

Section 9.3           Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Representative or Affiliate of, or direct or indirect equity owner in any Party shall have any personal liability to the other Party or any other Person as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of such Party in this Agreement except as set forth in the Purchaser Parent Guaranty.

Article X

TERMINATION

Section 10.1        Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, at any time prior to the Closing, by written notice from either Purchaser, on the one hand, or Sellers, on the other hand, to the other Parties (except for paragraph (a) below):

(a)          by mutual written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Sellers;

(b)          by either Purchaser or Sellers:

(i)            if the Closing has not occurred on or before one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of this Agreement, which date may be extended by either Sellers, on the one hand, or Purchaser on the other hand, by notice to the other Parties, for up to two additional periods of forty-five (45) days each, which shall not exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate, if (A) any Governmental or Regulatory Approval has not been obtained by the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) days (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 10.1(b)(i)) from the date of this Agreement and (B) the lack of such Governmental or Regulatory Approval is a reason that Purchaser’s and/or Sellers’, as applicable, unwaived conditions to consummate the Closing are unfulfilled as of the date (with the exception of conditions that may only be satisfied on the Closing Date) that is one hundred and eighty (180) days (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 10.1(b)(i)) from the date hereof (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date; or

(ii)          if any court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental or Regulatory Authority shall have issued a final Order or enacted any Law or taken any other final action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Order or Law or other action is or shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, such Order or final action;

(c)          at any time before the Closing, by Purchaser (provided, that Purchaser is not in material breach under this Agreement) if (i) there has been a breach by Sellers of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 would not be satisfied, and (ii) such breach is not curable, or, if curable, is not cured the second Business Day before the Termination Date; or

(d)          at any time before the Closing, by Sellers (provided, that Sellers are not in material breach under this Agreement) if (i) there has been a breach by Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 would not be satisfied, and (ii) such breach is not curable, or, if curable, is not cured within the second Business Day before the Termination Date; provided, however, that no cure period shall apply to Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Estimated Purchase Price.

Section 10.2         Effect of Termination; Reverse Termination Fee.

(a)          If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, (i) this Agreement will forthwith become null and void and there will be no liability or obligation on the part of either Purchaser or Sellers (or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives) in respect of this Agreement; provided, that the provisions set forth in Section 6.1(b), Section 6.5, this Article X and Article XI will continue to apply following any termination hereof and, (ii) subject to Section 10.2(c), no Party shall be relieved of any liability for Fraud or any willful and material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination. Nothing in this Article X shall prohibit any Party from seeking specific performance of the terms of this Agreement pursuant to, and on the terms and conditions of, Section 11.6, and for purposes of clarification, Sellers may simultaneously seek payment of the Reverse Termination Fee and the remedy of specific performance pursuant to Section 11.6; provided, however, that Sellers shall be entitled to only one such remedy.

(b)          If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be validly terminated in accordance with Section 10.1, by giving written notice thereof to the other Party, then without further action by any Party; each Party shall and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to (i) return or destroy all written Proprietary Information of the other Party (including Proprietary Information stored on electronic, magnetic or similar media), whether obtained before or after the execution of this Agreement, and (ii) continue to treat all Proprietary Information of the other Party in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination hereof.

(c)          If this Agreement is validly terminated by (i) either Sellers or Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.1(b) and Sellers would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(d) or (ii) by Sellers pursuant to Section 10.1(d) then, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Sellers and/or their designees, the Reverse Termination Fee, within five (5) Business Days after written notice of such termination, without offset or deduction of any kind, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by Sellers in writing to Purchaser, which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at Law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Sellers against the Purchaser for any breach, Liability, Loss or damage suffered by the Sellers in connection with such termination. Solely for purposes of establishing the basis for the amount thereof, and without in any way increasing or decreasing the amount of the Reverse Termination Fee or expanding or restricting the circumstances in which the Reverse Termination Fee is to be paid, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Reverse Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather constitutes liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Sellers in the circumstances in which the Reverse Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the payment of the Reverse Termination Fee in the circumstances specified herein is supported by due and sufficient consideration. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 10.2(c) are an integral part of this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to promptly pay the Reverse Termination Fee in full when due, Purchaser shall additionally pay to Sellers (i) Sellers’ and their respective Affiliates’ costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with recovering the Reverse Termination Fee in full, including attorney’s fees and all other costs of any action or proceeding to recover such amounts, and (ii) interest on the amount of the Reverse Termination Fee or portion thereof from the date due through the date of actual payment at the prime lending rate prevailing at such time, as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus four percent (4%) per annum.

Article XI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1         Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof, and, together with each other agreement or instrument to be delivered hereunder by any Party or its Affiliates (including the written agreements, Schedules and certificates referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto), the Purchaser Parent Guaranty, and the Confidentiality Agreement, contains the sole and entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 11.2         Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Party shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall pay any customary third-party fees or expenses and required in the course of obtaining any third-party consents, waivers or approvals in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any filing fees paid to any Governmental or Regulatory Authority that are required to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or fees to be paid with respect to Support Obligations); provided however, that, in the event any third-party requires payment to convince such third-party to grant consent, such payment shall not be customary and the Parties shall discuss such payment in good faith but neither Party shall be obligated to pay such amount unilaterally.

Section 11.3         No Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.

Section 11.4         Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement may be modified, supplemented or waived only by an instrument in writing duly executed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Sellers. Any such modification, supplement or waiver shall be for such period and subject to such conditions as shall be specified in the instrument effecting the same and shall be binding upon each of Purchaser and Sellers, and any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purposes for which given.

Section 11.5         Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement shall be given or made in writing, by physical (including by mail or courier) or electronic mail delivery to the address specified below or such other address as shall be designated in a notice in writing.

Section 11.6         Specific Performance. The Parties agree that, upon a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by any Party, the remedies at law of the other Party for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement shall not be a sufficient remedy and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms of this Agreement and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. For purposes of clarification, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or impair the ability of a Party to seek specific performance prior to Closing. The Parties further agree that (i) the seeking of the remedies provided for in this Section 11.6 by a Party to this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction or in any respect constitute a waiver by any Party of its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to any Party under this Agreement, from and after the Closing, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall require any Party hereto to institute any proceeding for (or limit such Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 11.6 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article X, nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 11.6 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article X or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. If any Party brings any claim to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended by the time period between the commencement of such claim and the date on which such claim is fully and final resolved.

Section 11.7         Captions. The captions and section headings appearing in this Agreement are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 11.8         No Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Subject to this Section 11.8, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 11.9         No Third-Party Beneficiary. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each Party hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the Parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person other than (i) any Person entitled to indemnity under Section 6.12, and Section 6.17, (ii) the rights of the Purchaser Released Parties under Section 9.2(a) which shall be enforceable by each of the Purchaser Released Parties, and (iii) the rights of the Seller Released Parties under Section 9.2(b) which shall be enforceable by each of the Seller Released Parties.

Section 11.10      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the Parties may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

Section 11.11      Governing Law. This Agreement and any Actions or Proceedings arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to a contract executed and performed in such State, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or principles thereof that would require the application of the rules of another jurisdiction.

Section 11.12      Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a)          For all purposes of this Agreement, and for all purposes of any Actions or Proceedings arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, each Party submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts of the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York and the federal courts of the United States sitting in New York County, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any such Actions or Proceedings shall be exclusively heard and determined in such New York court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court.

(b)          Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so:

(i)           any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Actions or Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related matter in any New York state or federal court located in New York County; and

(ii)          the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Actions or Proceedings in any such court.

(c)          Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process by registered mail, return receipt requested, as provided in Section 11.5. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 11.13      Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION TO ENFORCE OR INTERPRET THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THAT OTHERWISE RELATES TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 11.14      Disclosure. Any inclusion by Sellers of disclosure, or any references to dollar amounts, in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment or representation that such items are required to be disclosed or listed thereon, that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality, to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement (unless otherwise indicated) or that such item would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. In no event shall the inclusion of any matter in the Company Disclosure Schedule be deemed or interpreted to broaden Sellers’ representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

Section 11.15      Acknowledgement and Waiver.

(a)          It is acknowledged by each Party that Sellers and the Company Entities have retained White & Case LLP (“W&C”) to act as their counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that W&C has not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby for conflict of interest or any other purposes. Purchaser (on behalf of itself, and on behalf of the Company Entities from and after the Closing) agrees that any attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence attaching as a result of W&C’s representation of Sellers or the Company Entities related to the preparation for, and negotiation and consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all communications between W&C and Sellers, the Company Entities, and/or their respective Affiliates in preparation for, and negotiation and consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and shall remain in effect. Furthermore, effective as of the Closing, (i) all communications (and materials relating thereto) between the Company Entities, on the one hand, and W&C or any other legal counsel or financial advisor, on the other hand, related to the preparation for, and negotiation and consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are hereby assigned and transferred to Sellers, (ii) Purchaser (on behalf of itself, and on behalf of the Company Entities from and after the Closing) hereby releases all of its right and interest to and in such communications and related materials and (iii) Purchaser (on behalf of itself, and on behalf of the Company Entities from and after the Closing) hereby releases any right to assert or waive any privilege related to the communications referenced in this Section 11.15.

(b)          Purchaser (on behalf of itself, and on behalf of the Company Entities from and after the Closing) agrees that, notwithstanding any current or prior representation of the Company Entities by W&C, W&C shall be allowed to represent Sellers or any of their Affiliates in any matter and dispute adverse to Purchaser and/or the Company Entities that either is existing on the date hereof or arises in the future and which relates to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and Purchaser (on behalf of itself, and on behalf of the Company Entities from and after the Closing) hereby waives any conflicts or claim of privilege that may arise in connection with such representation, in each case, provided that, as a condition to any such representation, none of Sellers, their Affiliates nor W&C shall be permitted to utilize any information prepared by or on behalf of, or otherwise relating to, the Company Entities that Sellers have retained pursuant to Section 11.15(a). Further, Purchaser (on behalf of itself, and on behalf of the Company Entities from and after the Closing) agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser or the Company Entities and Sellers or any of their Affiliates, W&C may represent Sellers or their Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of Sellers or their Affiliates may be directly adverse to Purchaser or the Company Entities.

(c)          Purchaser acknowledges that any advice given to or communication with Sellers or any of their Affiliates shall not be subject to any joint privilege and shall be owned solely by Sellers or their Affiliates. Purchaser (on behalf of itself, and on behalf of the Company Entities from and after the Closing) hereby acknowledges that Purchaser and the Company Entities each have had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than W&C.

Section 11.16      Conetoe II Utility Outage Insurance Proceeds. Following the Closing, to the extent any Company Entity receives any insurance proceeds relating to the Conetoe II Utility Outage, Purchasers shall promptly notify Sellers and promptly pay or cause to be paid fifty percent (50%) of such proceeds to Sellers (or their designee).
