SECTION 2.07 Purchase Price.

(a) For and in consideration of the Acquired Assets, in addition to the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer agrees to pay to Seller an amount equal to the sum of: (i) the sum of (A) $350,000,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”), plus (B) the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount, minus (C) the Closing Date Net Indebtedness Amount, and plus (D) the Capital Spare and Inventory Amount (the sum of the amounts described in the immediately preceding clauses (A) through (D), the “Closing Purchase Price”); plus (ii) the Earnout Amount after the Closing, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.11 (the sum of the amounts described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”).

(b) Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written notice setting forth (i) its good faith calculations of the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, the Estimated Net Indebtedness Amount and the Estimated Closing Date Payment, together with reasonable supporting information and calculations, in each case, in accordance with the definitions thereof and, to the extent applicable, the methodology set forth on Schedule C, and (ii) wire transfer instructions for payment of the Estimated Closing Date Payment.

SECTION 2.09 Closing Deliveries. At the Closing:

(a) Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer or its designees:

(b) Buyer shall make, or cause to be made, the payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(c) and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller (i) the Real Property Deed, the Excluded Easements Deed and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, each duly executed by Buyer and (ii) such other agreements, documents, instruments and writings as are required to be delivered by Buyer at or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of Section 6.03.

SECTION 2.10 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) After the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with such access to the books, records and relevant employees of the other as they may reasonably request in connection with the matters addressed in this Section 2.10; provided, however, that none of Seller or any of its Affiliates will be required to grant access or make available its Tax Returns (except for Tax Returns for Property Taxes to the extent related to the Acquired Assets) for any purpose, including in connection with any proceeding or other dispute pursuant to this Section 2.10. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Buyer’s Statement”) setting forth its calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount, the Closing Date Net Indebtedness Amount and the resulting Closing Purchase Price, together with reasonable supporting information and calculations.

(b) If Seller objects to any matter set forth on Buyer’s Statement, then it shall provide Buyer written notice thereof within thirty (30) days after receiving the Buyer’s Statement; provided, that Seller and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed upon all items and amounts that are not disputed by Seller in such written notice. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on any matter set forth on Buyer’s Statement disputed by Seller in accordance with this Section 2.10(b), within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, the Parties shall refer such dispute to a division of KPMG LLP that does not currently provide services to any Party or, if such division of KPMG LLP declines to act as provided in this Section 2.10(b), a firm of independent public accountants, mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (KPMG LLP or such agreed independent public accountants, as applicable, the “Independent Accountants”), and the Parties shall cause such firm to make a final and binding determination as to only those matters in dispute with respect to this Section 2.10(b) on a timely basis, and, in any event, within thirty (30) days following its appointment, and shall cause such firm promptly to notify the Parties in writing of its resolution. In making such determination, such firm shall (i) limit its review to matters specifically set forth in Seller’s dispute notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) as disputed items (other than matters subsequently resolved), (ii) limit its review to whether the calculation of any such item is in accordance with this Article 2, and (iii) not assign to any such disputed item a value higher than or lower than the values set forth in the Buyer’s Statement or such dispute notice. The Parties shall not authorize the Independent Accountants to modify or amend any term or provision of this Agreement or modify items previously agreed among the Parties. Each of Seller and Buyer shall be liable for and pay one-half of the fees and other costs charged by the Independent Accountants. If Seller does not object to any matter set forth on Buyer’s Statement within the time period and in the manner set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.10(b) or if Seller accepts the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount, the Closing Date Net Indebtedness Amount, and the resulting Closing Purchase Price set forth on Buyer’s Statement, then such Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Date Net Indebtedness Amount and Closing Purchase Price shall become final, binding and non-appealable upon the Parties for all purposes hereunder.

(c) If the Closing Purchase Price, as finally determined as provided in Section 2.10(b) (as agreed between Buyer and Seller or as determined by the Independent Accountants), (i) exceeds the Estimated Closing Date Payment, then Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller an amount equal to the amount of such excess, within five (5) Business Days after such amounts are agreed or determined pursuant to Section 2.10(b), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller, or (ii) is less than the Estimated Closing Date Payment, then Seller shall pay Buyer (or its designee as designated in writing by Buyer) an amount equal to the amount of any such shortfall, within five (5) Business Days after such amounts are agreed or determined pursuant to Section 2.10(b), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer, or (iii) is equal to the Estimated Closing Date Payment, then no payment shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.10.

(d) The Parties agree that the provisions of this Section 2.10 and the dispute resolution process contemplated hereby are intended solely to adjust for changes in the Closing Purchase Price (as finally determined in Section 2.10(b)) as compared to the Estimated Closing Date Payment.

SECTION 2.11 Earnout.

(a) Until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing, no later than the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount in cash to the account set forth on Section 2.11(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (or to such other account as may be specified by Seller from time to time) (the “Designated Account”) equal to the Monthly Earnout Amount for the immediately preceding calendar month. For the avoidance of doubt, the Monthly Earnout Amount is independent of any performance at the Facility and shall be due and payable regardless of the operating capacity, operating condition or actual operation of the Facility, or the actual purchase of natural gas or sale of power by the Facility.

(b) Concurrently with, or prior to, each payment described in Section 2.11(a), Buyer shall deliver to Seller its good faith calculation of the Monthly Earnout Amount for the immediately preceding month, which such calculation shall be presented in the form attached as Exhibit E (each, a “Monthly Earnout Statement”). If Seller objects to any matter set forth in the Monthly Earnout Statement, then it shall provide Buyer written notice thereof (an “Objection Notice”) within ten (10) days after receipt thereof; provided, that Seller and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed upon all items and amounts in the Monthly Earnout Statement that are not disputed by Seller in such written notice. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on any matter set forth in such Objection Notice in accordance with this Section 2.11(b) within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Objection Notice, the Parties shall submit such dispute to the Independent Accountants, shall cause such firm to make a final and binding determination as to only those matters in dispute on a timely basis, and, in any event, within thirty (30) days following its appointment, and shall cause such firm promptly to notify the Parties in writing of its resolution. In making such determination, such firm shall (i) limit its review to matters specifically set forth in such Objection Notice as disputed items (other than matters subsequently resolved), and (ii) not assign to any such disputed item a value higher than or lower than the values set forth in the Monthly Earnout Statement or such Objection Notice. The Parties shall not authorize the Independent Accountants to modify or amend any term or provision of this Agreement or modify items previously agreed among the Parties. Each of Seller and Buyer shall be liable for and pay one-half of the fees and other costs charged by the Independent Accountants in connection with any dispute under this Section 2.11(b). If (A) Seller does not object to any amounts set forth in a Monthly Earnout Statement within the time period and in the manner set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.11(b), (B) Seller consents in writing to any of the amounts set forth therein, (C) any amounts are agreed to in writing by the Parties or (D) the Independent Accountants have made a final and binding determination of any amounts in accordance with this Section 2.11(b), then such amounts shall become final, binding and non-appealable upon the Parties for all purposes hereunder.

(c) If ERCOT posts any correction to any Day-Ahead Market price, the Parties shall adjust the Monthly Earnout Amount for any calendar month affected by such correction. If any such correction results in an increase in any Monthly Earnout Amount, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such increase (i) before the Monthly Earnout Amount for such amount is paid, by increasing such Monthly Earnout Amount when paid or (ii) after the Monthly Earnout Amount for such amount is paid, by payment in cash by Buyer to Seller to the Designated Account simultaneously with the next succeeding Monthly Earnout Amount or, if there are no further Monthly Earnout Amounts due, within ten (10) Business Days after such correction is posted. If any such correction results in a decrease in any Monthly Earnout Amount (A) before the Monthly Earnout Amount for such month is paid, Buyer shall decrease the payment to Seller by an amount equal to such decrease or (B) after the Monthly Earnout Amount for such month is paid, (1) to the extent the amount of such decrease is less than or equal to the next succeeding Monthly Earnout Amount, Buyer shall reduce the next succeeding Monthly Earnout Amount by an amount equal to such decrease, (2) to the extent the amount of such decrease is more than the next succeeding Monthly Earnout Amount, Buyer shall reduce the next succeeding Monthly Earnout Amount to zero and Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the excess of such decrease over such Monthly Earnout Amount within ten (10) Business Days after such correction is posted, or (3) if there are no further Monthly Earnout Amounts due, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such decrease within ten (10) Business Days after such correction is posted.

(d) If the Permian Gas Index, the Waha Gas Index or the Odessa Market Price (each, an “Index”) is temporarily unavailable for any reason, including the unavailability of the specified service or publication reporting such Index, then the Parties shall use good faith efforts to find a suitable replacement index for such temporary period. If any Index is unavailable for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) consecutive days or more or ceases to be published, then the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to promptly select a suitable replacement publication or reference price that is generally accepted in the energy industry. If the Parties are unable to agree on a replacement publication(s) or reference price within a thirty (30)-day period, then either Party may refer the matter to the Independent Accountants on terms that the Independent Accountants shall provide a substitute market publication(s) or reference price or a combination thereof to be the new Index for calculation of the Gas Cost or Power Price, as applicable.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall be permitted to transfer its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 2.11, so long as such transfer complies with applicable Law.

SECTION 2.12 Tax Treatment. The Parties agree to report the transactions on all applicable federal and state Income Tax Returns consistent with the final Allocation determined pursuant to Section 5.03(e), taking into account (solely for such purposes) as purchase price on a “closed transaction” method the risk-adjusted present value of any payments to be made by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 2.11. To the extent any payment made by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.11 exceeds or was not otherwise taken into account in determining such present value, such payment shall be treated as additional consideration for federal income and other applicable Tax purposes.

Seller shall prepare and timely file or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by Seller related to the Facility or the Acquired Assets, and Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file all Tax Returns required to be filed by Buyer related to the Facility or the Acquired Assets.

(b) Tax Contests. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receiving notice from a Taxing Authority after the Closing of any audit, assessment, litigation, contest or other proceeding relating to Taxes (a “Tax Contest”) for which Seller would reasonably be expected to be liable under Article 8 or any other provision of this Agreement or under Law, including Taxes for any Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period, and shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of all correspondence received from a Taxing Authority in connection with any such Tax Contest. Seller shall have the right to control the conduct of any Tax Contest relating solely to Taxes for which Seller (or their direct or indirect equity owners) would be responsible, including pursuant to Article 8; provided, that Buyer, at its own expense, shall be entitled to participate in the conduct of any such Tax Contest, Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding developments in such Tax Contest and Seller shall not settle any such Tax Contest that would be binding on Buyer or that involves any Taxes for which Buyer would be responsible (whether under Article 8 or under applicable Law) without Buyer’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) Cooperation. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.03, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any Tax Contest or other proceeding with respect to such Tax Returns or with respect to Taxes relating to the Acquired Assets. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon a Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, Tax Contest or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The requesting Party shall reimburse the cooperating Parties for all reasonable costs and documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such cooperating Parties.

(d) Transfer Taxes. Except as otherwise required by Law, Buyer shall file all Tax Returns required to be filed in respect of Transfer Taxes imposed on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and pay all Transfer Taxes owing with respect to such returns. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes, including joining in the execution of any such Tax Return or

other documentation where necessary. Buyer and Seller shall, upon request of the other Party, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Tax, including by qualifying for the occasional sale exemption or any other exemption available under applicable Law. Buyer and Seller intend that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will qualify as an “occasional sale” for Texas sales tax purposes, and will be exempt from such tax pursuant to Texas Tax Code Section 151.304. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a duly executed Texas Comptroller Form 01-917, Statement of Occasional Sale, with respect to such transaction. If required by Law to file or pay any Transfer Tax described in this Section 5.03(d), Seller shall timely pay such Transfer Tax and provide to Buyer copies of all such filed Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes and reasonable evidence that all such Transfer Taxes have been timely paid. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the payment of such Transfer Taxes within ten (10) days of its receipt of such reasonable evidence.

Seller and Buyer shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Allocation within thirty (30) days. If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any such dispute, such dispute shall be resolved promptly by the Independent Accountants, the costs of which shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to update the Allocation in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code following any adjustment to the allocable Purchase Price or any other amounts constituting consideration for federal Income Tax purposes pursuant to this Agreement. Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, report consistently with the Allocation in all Tax Returns, including on Form 8594, and none of the Parties shall take any position in any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Allocation, as adjusted, in each case, unless required to do so by a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code or with the written consent of the other Parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each of Seller and Buyer agrees to promptly advise the other regarding the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to the Allocation; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.03 shall require any of the Parties to litigate before any court, or prevent any of the Parties from settling in good faith, any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing Authority challenging the Allocation.

(f) Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Law. If Buyer determines that any deduction or withholding is required in respect of a payment pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Seller at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, with a written explanation substantiating the requirement to withhold. To the extent amounts are deducted or withheld in accordance with this Section 5.03(f) and remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the deduction or withholding was made.

(g) Parties’ Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including Section 5.03(c) and Section 5.09), neither Buyer nor its Affiliates shall have the right at any time to examine the Tax Returns, Tax work papers, financial statements or books and records of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the non-Income Tax Returns of Seller), and neither Seller nor its Affiliates shall have the right at any time to examine the Tax Returns, Tax work papers, financial statements or books and records of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (other than the non-Income Tax Returns of Buyer), in each case, including in connection with any Third Party Claim, Tax Contest, Claim or other dispute (whether among the Parties or involving third parties) or otherwise.

(h) Apportionment. For purposes of this Agreement, Liability for any Taxes of Seller with respect to any Straddle Period shall be apportioned to Seller for any Pre-Closing Period and to Buyer thereafter. Liability for Property Taxes with respect to any Straddle Period shall be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Period on a per diem basis. Liability for Taxes other than Property Taxes for the Pre-Closing Period shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable during the Pre-Closing Period if the relevant taxable period took into account only the Pre-Closing Period on an “interim closing of the books” method similar to that described in the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 706 of the Code.

Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall (i) terminate with respect to information relating solely to the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Facility and (ii) notwithstanding anything in the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of Vista Energy Corp and its Affiliates, including Buyer, under paragraph 6 of the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to survive and be in full force and effect (other than in respect of Continuing Employees) until the date that is two (2) years after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer acknowledges that any and all other information provided to it by Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or any Representative of Seller shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Closing Date.

(b) None of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall make any public announcement or issue any public communication (including announcements or communications to Plant Employees and interviews with the media) regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any matter related to the foregoing, without first obtaining the prior consent of Seller or Buyer, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except if such announcement or other communication is (i) required by applicable Law or legal process (including rules of any national securities exchange), in which case Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall use their best effort to coordinate or communicate such

announcement or communication with Seller or Buyer, as applicable, prior to announcement or issuance (ii) consistent with previous releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the Parties (or individually, if approved by the other Party) or (iii) made by a Party or its Affiliates to their respective Affiliates or Representatives, provided that (A) they are advised of the confidential nature thereof and agree to hold such information in confidence in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (and such Party shall be liable for all non-permitted disclosures by its Affiliates or Representatives) and (B) nothing herein shall permit a Party, and no Party shall be permitted, to disclose or disseminate this Agreement to any Person other than their respective Affiliates and (on a need to know basis) professional advisors and such Affiliates’ directors, officers or employees.

SECTION 5.05 Post-Closing Books and Records. Buyer shall retain, for at least seven (7) years after the Closing Date, all books, records and other documents pertaining to the Facility, the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities that relate to the period prior to the Closing Date, except for Tax Returns and supporting documentation relating to the Facility, the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities which shall be retained until sixty (60) days after the date required by applicable Law, and to make the same available after the Closing Date for inspection and copying by Seller, at Seller’s cost and expense and during regular business hours without significant disruption to the Facility and upon reasonable request and upon reasonable advance notice. If Buyer wishes to destroy such books, records and other documents during such period, Buyer shall give notice of such proposed destruction to Seller, and upon notice from Seller received within ninety (90) days of its notice of destruction, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, transfer such books and records to Seller or its designated Affiliate at Seller’s expense.

SECTION 5.06 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 9.02(a), whether or not the Closing takes place, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses, including any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by a Party to any brokers, financial or legal advisors or comparable other persons retained or employed by such Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 5.07 Employee Matters; Continuing Employees.

(a) Continuing Employees. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Buyer shall deliver, in writing, an offer of employment (on terms and conditions consistent with this Section 5.07) to all then current Plant Employees to commence such employment immediately after the Closing, other than any Plant Employees who have been identified as Affected Employees pursuant to clause (a) of such definition as of such time); provided, that each such offer shall be subject to the applicable Plant Employee’s continued employment with Seller until immediately prior to the Closing and to Buyer’s customary pre-employment/post-offer procedures and qualifications; provided further that, with respect to each Plant Employee who is not actively employed as of immediately prior to the Closing due to a leave of absence (each, an “Inactive Plant Employee”), any such offer shall (i) be contingent on (A) such Plant Employee presenting himself or herself to Buyer for active employment during the six-month period immediately following the Closing (or such longer period as specified by applicable Law), and presenting reasonable evidence to Buyer of such readiness for active employment and

(B) the circumstances being such that Seller would have been required to re-employ or continue to employ such Plant Employee in accordance with applicable Law and its applicable policies, practices and procedures in effect on the date hereof, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement had not occurred, and (ii) be effective on the date that such Plant Employee presents himself or herself to Buyer for active employment. Seller will provide Buyer with a then-current list of Inactive Plant Employees within five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date indicating the last potential date of return. For all purposes of the remainder of this Section 5.07, with respect to any Inactive Plant Employee, the date that such Inactive Plant Employee commences employment with Buyer or the time of such commencement of employment shall be substituted for the terms “Closing Date” or “Closing”, respectively, wherever such term appears. Each such offer of employment shall be consistent with the obligations of Buyer set forth in this Section 5.07. Such individuals who accept such offer by the Closing Date are hereinafter referred to as the “Continuing Employees.” Effective as of the Closing, Seller shall terminate the employment of each Plant Employee who satisfies Buyer’s pre-employment/post-offer procedures and qualifications (other than any Plant Employee who has been identified as an Affected Employee pursuant to clause (a) of such definition).

(b) Seller Benefit Plans. As of the Closing Date, in no event shall any Continuing Employee be entitled to accrue any benefits under any Seller Benefit Plan with respect to services rendered or compensation paid on or after the Closing Date. From and after the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates shall retain sponsorship of all the Seller Benefit Plans and shall retain and hold Buyer harmless and indemnify Buyer with respect to all commitments, Liabilities and obligations thereunder, whether arising before, on or after the Closing, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any responsibility for any such Seller Benefit Plans or commitments, Liabilities or obligations. Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the account balances of the Continuing Employees in each Seller Benefit Plan that is a 401(k) plan and the benefits of the Continuing Employees in each Seller Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan or a nonqualified retirement plan to be fully vested.

(c) Continuation of Compensation and Benefits. For a one (1)-year period following the Closing, Buyer shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, compensation (including salary, cash bonus, commissions and other incentives) and benefits to each Continuing Employee that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the compensation and benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer during such period; provided that the annual base pay provided to each Continuing Employee during such one (1)-year period shall be no less than the annual base pay provided by Seller to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any responsibility for any bonuses or incentive payments payable under the Seller Benefit Plans or payable with respect to any period prior to the Closing.

(d) Severance. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.07, for a one (1)-year period following the Closing, for any termination of employment by Buyer other than for cause (as determined in Buyer’s reasonable discretion), Buyer shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, severance benefits to each Continuing Employee that include at least two weeks of base pay for every year of service with Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) and any respective predecessor, subject to a maximum of fifty-two (52) weeks of base pay per Continuing Employee.

(e) Benefit Continuation for Continuing Employees. Buyer shall waive or cause to be waived all limitations as to preexisting conditions or waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee under any employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Buyer or any Affiliate thereof in which Continuing Employees participate (or are eligible to participate) that are “welfare benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) to the same extent that such conditions and waiting periods were satisfied or waived under the comparable Seller Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing. In addition, Buyer shall provide or cause to be provided each Continuing Employee with credit for any copayments and deductibles paid during the plan year commencing immediately prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable copayments, deductibles or other out-of-pocket requirements under any such welfare benefit plans for such plan year, subject to the provision by Seller or Seller’s insurance carrier to Buyer of valid evidence of such amounts in the format requested by Buyer.

(f) Service Credit for Continuing Employees. Buyer shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each Continuing Employee credit for all service prior to the Closing Date, to the same extent as such service was credited under the comparable Seller Benefit Plan, for all purposes under Buyer’s severance and paid time off plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that it results in the duplication of benefits. For the avoidance of doubt, the Continuing Employees shall not receive credit for service prior to the Closing Date for purposes of any of Buyer’s pension or retiree welfare plans.

(g) Responsibility for Welfare Plan Claims. With respect to each Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or the dependent thereof), Seller shall retain all Liabilities and obligations for any medical, dental, health, accident or disability claim to the extent that such Liability or obligation relates to claims incurred (whether or not reported or paid) prior to the Closing Date and Buyer and its Affiliates shall be liable for any such claim incurred on or following the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 5.07(g), a claim shall be deemed to be incurred when (i) with respect to medical, dental and health related benefits, the medical, dental or health related services giving rise to such claim are performed, (ii) with respect to disability and workmen’s compensation benefits, the injury, sickness or other event giving rise to the claim for such benefits occurs, and (iii) with respect to accident or life insurance, the accident or death occurs.

(h) Workforce Matters. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid at the Closing to Seller an amount equal to the aggregate severance costs for (i) any Affected Employee under clause (a) of the definition thereof and (ii) any other Plant Employee to whom Buyer and its Affiliates fail to offer employment, including as a result of such employee’s failure to satisfy Buyer’s customary pre-employment qualifications and procedures, in each case whose employment is terminated by Seller as of the Closing; provided that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), the amount of severance costs payable by Buyer per employee shall be equal to two weeks’ base pay for each year of such employee’s service, subject to a maximum of 52 weeks’ base pay per employee. For the avoidance of doubt, no severance payments will be made to (A) any Plant Employee who rejects an offer of employment made by Buyer in accordance with this Section 5.07 or (B) any Inactive Plant Employee who does not receive an offer of employment because any of the contingencies for such offer described in Section 5.07(a)(i) are not satisfied.

(i) COBRA Liabilities. Seller shall be responsible for providing notices and coverage under COBRA to any Plant Employee (and his or her qualified beneficiaries) as to whom a “qualifying event” (as defined in Section 4980B of the Code) has occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including qualifying events that occur in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Buyer shall be responsible for providing notices and coverage under COBRA to any Continuing Employee (and his or her qualified beneficiaries) whose “qualifying event” occurs after the Closing Date.

(j) WARN Act. Buyer shall be responsible and assume all liability for all notices or payments due to any Affected Employees under the WARN Act, or to any Plant Employee who becomes entitled to receive notice as required under the WARN Act on account of the aggregation of “employment losses” (as defined in the WARN Act) that occur prior to the Closing with “employment losses” that occur following the Closing, and all notices, payments, fines or assessments due to any Governmental Entity, pursuant to any applicable Law with respect to the employment, discharge or layoff of employees by Buyer or its Affiliates after the Closing Date, including the WARN Act. Seller shall be responsible for and shall indemnify Buyer with respect to all such notices, payments, fines or assessments due to any Plant Employees other than Affected Employees under the WARN Act or any such other applicable Law that are triggered solely by the actions of Seller prior to the Closing. As of the Closing, Seller shall provide to Buyer a list of any “employment losses” experienced by any Plant Employees during the ninety (90)-day period prior to the Closing. Such list shall include, with respect to each such Plant Employee, the date of the employment loss and the applicable site of employment.

(k) Vacation. Seller shall pay to each Continuing Employee all amounts in respect of vacation days and other paid time off accrued but not taken by such Continuing Employee on or prior to the Closing. Buyer shall have no obligation to honor such accrued vacation days or paid time off after the Closing. Following the Closing, the Continuing Employees’ eligibility for vacation and other paid time off shall be determined under Buyer’s vacation and paid time off policies.

(l) Employment Tax Reporting Responsibility. Seller and Buyer hereby agree to follow the standard procedure for employment tax reporting as provided in Section 4 of Rev. Proc. 2004-53, I.R.B. 2004-35. Accordingly, Seller shall have employment tax reporting responsibilities for the wages and other compensation it pays to Plant Employees and Buyer shall have employment tax reporting responsibilities for the wages and other compensation it pays to Plant Employees.

(m) Third-Party Rights. The provisions of this Section 5.07 are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Plant Employee), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (iii) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

SECTION 5.08 Further Actions.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (except where a different efforts standard is specifically contemplated by this Agreement, in which case such different standard shall apply) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in an expeditious manner and to cause any of the conditions to such Party’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in Article 6 to be satisfied.

(b) The Parties will use their respective commercially reasonable 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 obtain the Required Consents, any approvals or waivers of parties to Contracts with Seller, and any Filings or Consents with or from any Governmental Entity, including by (i) as soon as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the date of this Agreement) making all notices or filings necessary to obtain the Consents listed in Sections 6.02(e) and 6.02(f) of the Buyer Disclosure Letter, (ii)(A) preparing and filing as soon as practicable (and in any event, for the HSR Act, within five (5) Business Days following the date of this Agreement) all other such Filings or Consents with or from any Governmental Entity or other Person that are required to be filed or obtained prior to Closing in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) assuring that all such Filings are in material compliance with the requirements of applicable regulatory laws, and (C) subject to applicable legal limitations making available to the other Party such information as the other Party may reasonably request in order to complete the Filings or to respond to information requests by any relevant Governmental Entity or members of its staff, (iii) subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Entity or members of its staff, keeping each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated thereby, including but not limited to promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications, filings or correspondence between the Parties, or any of their respective subsidiaries, and any Person or Governmental Entity (or members of their respective staffs) with respect to the transactions, (iv) responding to and complying with, as promptly as reasonably practicable, any request for information or documentary material regarding the transactions from any relevant Governmental Entity or members of its staff (including responding to any “second request” for additional information or documentary material under the HSR Act as promptly as reasonably practicable), (v) using their respective commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and clearance or approval by any relevant Governmental Entity, including defense against, and the resolution of, any objections or challenges, in court or otherwise, by any relevant Governmental Entity preventing consummation of the transactions, (vi) using their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary to cause all conditions set forth in Article 6 to be satisfied as soon as practicable, (vii) executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement, and (viii) using their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions and do, or cause to be done, all other things advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby. Prior to

communicating any information to any Person or Governmental Entity (or members of their respective staffs) in oral or written form, each party shall permit counsel for the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments thereon, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed communication to any Person or Governmental Entity (or members of their respective staffs) to the extent permitted by Law. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees not to participate in any meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Person or Governmental Entity (or members of their respective staffs) in connection with the proposed transaction unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity or by Law, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate where appropriate and advisable under the circumstances.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall contest, at its cost and expense, any challenge to this Agreement by any Governmental Entity, including contesting through a litigation proceeding initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, or the PUCT to enjoin the transactions contemplated hereby, and Buyer shall control all aspects of said litigation for the Parties, provided that, except as set forth in Section 5.08(d) with respect to any Subsequent Transaction and Subsequent Transaction Plan, Buyer shall afford Seller with reasonable advance written notice of any such contest or litigation, an opportunity to participate in the development and formulation of the legal strategy of such contest or litigation, an opportunity to participate in all associated proceedings, and Buyer shall consider in good faith Seller’s views and opinions in all material respects related to such matters (provided that, Buyer shall retain full discretion and authority with respect to the aspects of any such litigation).

(d) Except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.08(d), Buyer and its Affiliates shall have no obligation hereunder to commit to any divestitures, licenses, hold separate or similar arrangements, conduct of business restrictions or other actions or non-actions with respect to their respective assets and businesses (or with respect to the Facility, Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities) as a condition to obtaining the Consents required to be obtained from any Governmental Entity. If, prior to the Closing, Buyer or any of its Affiliates enters into any agreement or similar arrangement in which Buyer and/or any Affiliate would acquire, directly or indirectly, one or more other power generation facilities in ERCOT (a “Subsequent Transaction”) such that Buyer and its Affiliates would own and control installed generating capacity in ERCOT in an amount that exceeds the Generating Capacity Threshold upon the closing of such Subsequent Transaction (when taking into consideration the transaction contemplated by this Agreement), then within twenty (20) Business Days from the entry into a definitive agreement related to such Subsequent Transaction, Buyer and its Affiliates shall propose, and promptly seek approval of, a plan, commitment or arrangement that would reduce Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ installed generating capacity in ERCOT below the Generating Capacity Threshold (a “Subsequent Transaction Plan”), that would permit (i) Buyer and its Affiliates to close on such Subsequent Transaction and (ii) the transaction contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, without any modification to the terms or conditions of this Agreement. Upon the approval or acceptance of such Subsequent Transaction Plan by the PUCT, Buyer and its Affiliates shall implement and comply with such plan as promptly as reasonably practicable. Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed of the status of the preparation, submission and implementation of any Subsequent Transaction Plan. Buyer and its Affiliates shall be deemed to have satisfied the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 5.08(d) for all purposes (including for purposes of Article 8) upon the Closing.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall require Seller or any of its Affiliates to incur any expense or Liability (other than costs and expenses of Seller’s attorneys and other advisors), enter into any new commitment or agreement or agree to any modification to any contractual arrangement to obtain the Required Consents or any approvals or waivers of parties to Contracts with Seller and, subject to Section 2.06 (with respect to seeking any Consent other than a Required Consent or any other Consent, approval or waiver from a Governmental Entity), all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (other than costs and expenses of Seller’s attorneys and other advisors) associated with obtaining any such Required Consents or approvals or waivers, including any Consent or waiver fees, if any, that may be required or payable, shall be paid solely by Buyer.

(f) Each Party shall (i) promptly inform the other Party of any communication made to, or received by such Party from, any Governmental Entity or members of its staff regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries or requests for additional information and documentary material received from any Governmental Entity or members of its staff, (iii) except as required by applicable Law, and except with written consent of the other Party, not enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity agreeing not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) promptly inform the other Party of any communication made to, or received by such Party from, any Governmental Entity or members of its staff regarding any Environmental, Health and Safety Law.

(g) Subject to the compliance of the Parties with this Section 5.08, neither Party shall have any liability whatsoever to the other Party arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Consents or make any Filings, or because of the termination of, or default under, any Contract, in each case to the extent such Consents, Filings or Contracts are listed on Section 3.03 of the Seller Disclosure Letter or Section 4.03 of the Buyer Disclosure Letter.

(h) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of either Seller or Buyer, each of the Parties will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, assurances, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably required or appropriate to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(i) The Parties will cooperate and negotiate in good faith to agree to the terms of a confirmation to the existing ISDA Master Agreement between KES and Luminant Energy Company LLC, dated July 21, 2015 (the “Gas Supply Agreement”) within thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of the Parties to enter into the Gas Supply Agreement shall not affect the Parties’ conditions set forth in Sections 6.02(a) or 6.03(a).

SECTION 5.09 Post-Closing Cooperation. After Closing, upon prior reasonable written request, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in furnishing records, information, oral or written testimony, oral or written attestations and certifications, and other assistance in connection with transition matters, any required post-Closing filings with Governmental Entities, and any inquiries or proceedings involving Seller, but excluding any proceedings arising from disputes among the Parties. Each such requesting Party shall reimburse such cooperating Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by such cooperating Party as a result of any such requested cooperation.

SECTION 5.10 Risk of Loss. Buyer shall solely bear the risk of loss with respect to the Acquired Assets for any event or occurrence after the Closing. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.10, during the Interim Period all risk of loss or damage to the property or assets of Seller shall, as between Buyer and Seller, be borne by Seller. If during the Interim Period the property or assets of Seller are damaged by fire, equipment breakage or other casualty (each such event, an “Event of Loss”), or are taken by a Governmental Entity by exercise of the power of eminent domain (each, a “Taking”), then the following provisions of this Section 5.10 shall apply:

(a) Following the occurrence of (i) any one or more Events of Loss, if the aggregate costs to restore, repair or replace the property or assets of Seller subject to such Event of Loss to a condition reasonably comparable to their prior condition, plus the amount of any lost profits reasonably expected to accrue after Closing as a result of such Event of Loss, such amount pursuant to this clause (i) to be determined by an independent third party appraiser mutually selected by the Parties (collectively, “Restoration Costs”) and (ii) any one or more Takings, if the value of the property subject to such Taking plus the amount of any lost profits reasonably expected to accrue after Closing as a direct result of such Taking, less any condemnation award received by Buyer (provided, that any such condemnation award is made available to Buyer), such amount pursuant to this clause (ii) to be determined by an independent third party appraiser mutually selected by the Parties (collectively, the “Condemnation Value”), is, in the aggregate, less than or equal to $3,500,000, there shall be no effect on the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Subject to the termination right of Buyer and Seller set forth in clause (d) below, upon the occurrence of any one or more Events of Loss or Takings involving aggregate Restoration Costs and Condemnation Value in excess of $3,500,000 (a “Major Loss”), Seller shall have, in the case of a Major Loss relating solely to one or more Events of Loss, the option, exercised by notice to Buyer, to restore, repair or replace the damaged assets or properties prior to Closing to a condition reasonably comparable to their prior condition. If Seller elects to so restore, repair or replace the assets or properties relating to a Major Loss, which election shall be made by notice to Buyer prior to the Closing Date and as soon as practicable following the occurrence of the Major Loss, Seller will complete or cause to be completed the repair, replacement or restoration of the damaged assets or property prior to the Closing and the Closing Date shall be postponed for the amount of time reasonably necessary to complete the restoration, repair or replacement of such property or assets as reasonably agreed among Buyer and Seller to allow for the restoration, repair or replacement of such assets or properties, provided, that in no event shall such postponement extend beyond the Outside Date). If Seller elects not to cause the restoration, repair or replacement of the property or assets affected by a Major Loss, or such Major Loss is the result in whole or in part of one or more Takings or is otherwise not capable of being restored, repaired or replaced, the provisions of Section 5.10(c) will apply.

(c) Subject to the termination right of Buyer and Seller set forth in clause (d) below, in the event that Seller elects not to cause the restoration, repair or replacement of a Major Loss, or in the event that Seller, having elected to cause repair, replacement or restoration of the Major Loss, fails to cause its completion within the period of time agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to Section 5.10(b) (subject to extension for up to ninety (90) days for causes beyond Seller’s control), or in the event that a Major Loss is the result in whole or in part of one or more Takings or is otherwise not capable of being restored, repaired or replaced, then the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days following Seller’s election not to cause the restoration, repair or replacement, failure to complete, or the occurrence of such Major Loss, as the case may be, adjust the Base Purchase Price by the aggregate Restoration Cost and Condemnation Value related thereto, as mitigated by any repair, replacement or restoration work actually completed by Seller on the assets or properties being sold to Buyer, and proceed to Closing. To assist Buyer in its evaluation of any and all Events of Loss, Seller shall provide Buyer such access to the properties and assets and such information as Buyer may reasonably request in connection therewith.

(d) In the event that the aggregate Restoration Costs and Condemnation Value with respect to one or more Events of Loss and/or Takings equals an amount in excess of $35,000,000, then either Buyer or Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

SECTION 5.11 No Solicitation; Alternative Transactions. From the date hereof until the earlier of (a) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 9 and (b) the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and Seller’s Affiliates, Representatives and agents will not, directly or indirectly, (i) encourage, solicit, participate in or initiate discussions or negotiations with, provide any information to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage any Person or group (other than any Affiliate, associate or designee of Buyer) concerning any proposal for the sale, merger, combination, joint venture, recapitalization or other transaction involving all or any part of the equity, business or properties of Seller (each, a “Competing Transaction”), other than providing information to Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) enter into any Contract or agreement in principle (whether or not legally binding) relating to any Competing Transaction. Seller shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions, negotiations or other communications between or among Seller and its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, partners, representatives, Affiliates or other intermediaries and any third parties (other than Buyer and its representatives) conducted heretofore with respect to any Competing Transaction.

SECTION 5.12 Schedule Update. From time to time prior to the Closing, Seller may, at its option, supplement or amend and deliver updates to the Seller Disclosure Letter (each a “Letter Update”), that are necessary to complete or correct any information in such Seller Disclosure Letter, or in any representation or warranty of Seller, that has been rendered inaccurate or incomplete due to any change, event, effect or occurrence since the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Schedule Update shall qualify any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Seller for any purpose hereunder, affect any remedy available to any Indemnified Buyer Entity hereunder (including indemnification pursuant to Article 8 or the right to specific performance hereunder) or affect the determination of whether the conditions to Closing have been satisfied.

SECTION 5.13 Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality.

(a) For a period from the date hereof to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and Xxxx Xx and its Subsidiaries shall not, and their respective directors, officers and employees shall not cause, solicit, induce or encourage any Continuing Employees to leave such employment or hire, employ or otherwise engage any such individual (other than by means of general advertising of employment).

(b) For a period of three (3) years following the Closing, Xxxx Xx and its Subsidiaries and Seller shall not, and their respective directors, officers and employees shall not directly or indirectly, disclose or divulge any information of the Facility, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities; provided, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to information (i) which becomes available to Xxxx Xx, any of its Subsidiaries, Seller or any of their respective directors, officers and employees from a third-party source or (ii) which is in the public domain or enters into the public domain without breach of this Agreement by Xxxx Xx, any of its Subsidiaries, Seller or any of their respective directors, officers and employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the obligations of confidentiality under this Section 5.13(b) shall not (A) limit Xxxx Ag’s and its Subsidiaries’ use or disclosure of residuals resulting from the ownership or operation of the Facility or the Acquired Assets and (B) restrict the trading activities of Xxxx Xx or its Subsidiaries and (2) in the event Xxxx Xx and its Subsidiaries, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or any of such person’s directors, officers and employees is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in a legal proceeding, subpoena or other similar process) to disclose information of the Facility, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities; (i) Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing unless prohibited by Law or legal process, which notification shall include the nature of such legal requirement and the extent of the required disclosure, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, to preserve, to the extent possible, the confidentiality of such information and (ii) in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Buyer, Seller is legally required to disclose such information, Seller may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such Person or tribunal only that portion of the information which Seller has determined in good faith is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Seller uses its reasonable best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the information. The term “residuals” means non-specific information in non-tangible form, which is retained in the unaided memory of a person who has had access to the Seller’s information.

(c) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 5.13 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 5.13 will cause irreparable injury to Buyer, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 5.13 will be inadequate. Therefore, Buyer will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 5.13 without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond whatsoever. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 5.13 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Buyer may have hereunder or at law or in equity. If Buyer were to seek damages for any breach of this Section 5.13, the portion of the Purchase Price which is allocated by the Parties to the foregoing covenant shall not be considered a measure of or limit on such damages.

(d) The Parties agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment determines that a specified time period, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 5.13 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser time period, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable party.

SECTION 5.14 Release. Upon and subject to the Closing, the Parties undertake as follows:

(a) Seller Release. Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, successors, assigns, heirs, executors, legatees, administrators, beneficiaries, representatives and agents (the “Seller Releasing Parties”), fully, finally and irrevocably releases, acquits and forever discharges Buyer, its Affiliates, officers, directors, predecessors, successors and assigns, and the beneficiaries, heirs, executors, personal or legal representatives, insurers and attorneys of any of them (collectively, the “Buyer Released Parties”), from any and all commitments, Claims, promises, agreements, debts, damages, Liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether arising from any Contract or in tort, known or unknown, past, present or future, at law or in equity, contingent or otherwise (collectively, a “Potential Claim”), that such Seller Releasing Parties, or any of them, had, has or may have had at any time in the past until and including the Closing or that may arise in the future, against the Buyer Released Parties, or any of them, for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever occurring at any time at or prior to the Closing with respect to the ownership or operation of the Facility, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities (collectively, the “Buyer Released Matters”), except that the Buyer Released Matters do not include, and nothing in this Section 5.14 shall affect or be construed as a waiver or release by Seller Releasing Parties of, any Potential Claim by any of the Seller Releasing Parties arising from or relating to (i) the payment of the Purchase Price and any payments resulting from the Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to Section 2.10 on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and any Indemnifiable Losses payable by Buyer pursuant to Article 8, (ii) Seller’s right to defend (including through a counterclaim) any claim of indemnification asserted against Seller or (iii) the performance by Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) No Transfer of Potential Claims. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer and the other Buyer Released Parties that it has not conveyed, pledged, transferred, hypothecated, or in any manner encumbered or assigned, to any other Person any of the Potential Claims for any Buyer Released Matter.

(c) Release Not Considered an Admission. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that neither this Agreement nor the furnishing of the consideration for the release given under this Section 5.14 and Section 7.02(b) will be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by any Party or any Seller Released Party or any Buyer Released Party of any improper or unlawful conduct.

(d) Waiver of Unknown Claims. Seller expressly acknowledges that this Section 5.14 is intended to include in its effect all claims with respect to the Buyer Released Matters that it does not know or suspect to exist in its favor as of the date hereof, and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of any such claim or claims. With respect to any and all Potential Claims for any Buyer Released Matter, Seller expressly waives and relinquishes, and the other Seller Releasing Parties shall be deemed to have expressly waived and relinquished, any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any Law of any jurisdiction or principle of common law that provides that a general release does not extend to claims that are unknown or unsuspected to the releasor at the time the releaser executes the release. Seller acknowledges that the inclusion of such unknown Potential Claims herein was separately bargained for and was a key element of this Section 5.14. Seller acknowledges, and the other Seller Releasing Parties shall be deemed to have acknowledged, that they may hereafter discover facts which are different from or in addition to those that they may now know or believe to be true with respect to any and all Potential Claims herein released and agree that all such unknown Potential Claims are nonetheless released and that this Section 5.14 shall be and remain effective in all respects even if such different or additional facts are subsequently discovered.

(e) Covenant Not to Xxx. Seller hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, and to cause all Seller Releasing Parties controlled by it to refrain from, asserting any Potential Claim, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any action of any kind against any of the Buyer Released Parties, in any forum whatsoever (including any administrative agency), that arises out of, relates in any way to, or is based upon, any of the Buyer Released Matters.

(f) Sufficiency of Consideration. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchase Price paid pursuant hereto in respect of the Acquired Assets and the covenants of Buyer has provided good and sufficient consideration for every promise, duty, release, obligation, agreement and right contained herein, including this Section 5.14.

(g) Basis of Defense; Attorneys’ Fees. This Section 5.14 may be pleaded by the Buyer Released Parties as a full and complete defense and may be used as the basis for an injunction against any action at law or equity instituted or maintained against them in violation of this Section 5.14. In the event any Potential Claim is brought or maintained by Seller or any Seller Releasing Parties against the Buyer Released Parties in violation of this Section 5.14, Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Buyer Released Parties in defending same.

SECTION 5.15 Transition Services.

(a) Seller shall cause its Affiliates to provide to Buyer for the sixty (60) day period immediately following the Closing Date all or the portion of the transition services listed on Section 5.15 of the Seller Disclosure Letter that are reasonably requested in writing (providing reasonable detail) from Buyer to Seller as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing) except that Seller shall have no obligation to cause its Affiliates to provide any such services that were not requested in writing from Buyer to Seller at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing (the services referred to in this sentence being the “Transition Services”). Seller shall cause its Affiliates to perform any Transition Services provided hereunder in substantially the same

quality and manner as the same or comparable services were provided by an Affiliate of Seller to Seller during the three (3)-month period preceding the Closing; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except for the provisions of Section 5.16(b)(i), which shall govern over anything in this sentence, (A) none of Seller or its Affiliates shall have any liability to Buyer or its Affiliates for any acts or omissions of Seller or its Affiliates in connection with this Section 5.15 and the Transition Services; (B) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses relating to the Transition Services except to the extent such Indemnifiable Losses were caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or any of its Affiliates; and (C) the exclusive remedy of Buyer and its Affiliates against Seller or any of its Affiliates for breach of this Section 5.15 or otherwise relating to the Transition Services shall be limited to termination (effective upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice) of the affected Transition Service and, in the case of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct, monetary damages (but in no event exceeding the amount paid to Seller for such Transition Services under Section 5.15(b)).

(b) Buyer, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ written notice to Seller, at any time and from time to time may, as of the date set forth in such notice (which may not precede the end of such fifteen (15)-day period without Seller’s approval), reduce or terminate its right to receive (and Seller’s associated obligations to provide or cause the provision of) any or all of the applicable Transition Services. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the reasonable costs or expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of Seller or its Affiliates attributable to the provision of Transition Services, including the costs of all compensation and benefits and employment Taxes on such compensation and benefits, any reasonable allocations of overhead expenses of Seller and its Affiliates and any retention payments required to retain employees who provide Transition Services (such costs and expenses, the “Direct Costs”). No later than the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the end of each calendar month during which Seller or its Affiliates provided Transition Services, beginning with the calendar month immediately following the Closing, Seller shall submit an invoice to Buyer for the Direct Costs incurred during such calendar month. If the Closing occurs on a day other than the last day of a month, the invoice for the first (1st) month shall be only for those Transition Services provided from such date until the end of the month in which the Closing took place. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid each such invoice it receives within fifteen (15) days after its receipt thereof.

SECTION 5.16 Post-Closing Collections and Payments. From and after the Closing, (a) Buyer will (i) remit to Seller any payment that Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates receives or collects in respect of any Excluded Asset and (ii) reimburse Seller for any payment Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates makes to a third-party in payment of an Assumed Liability and (b) Seller will (i) remit to Buyer any payment or settlement that Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates receives or collects on any note or receivable that constitutes, or any sale of energy or capacity in the wholesale electric market from, an Acquired Asset including any payment or settlement made for Transition Services under Section 5.15 and (ii) reimburse Buyer for any payment Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates makes to a third-party in payment of a Retained Liability. Each Party will provide the other Party with reasonable detail regarding any such payments. Any remittance or reimbursement required to be made by a Party pursuant to this Section 5.16 will be (x) made net of any outstanding remittance or reimbursement owed to such Party pursuant to this Section 5.16 and (y) made promptly, and in any event not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month in which the payment giving rise to such remittance or reimbursement, as applicable, was received or made.

SECTION 5.17 Seller Guarantees. At or prior to the Closing, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the respective beneficiary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and effective as of the Closing, valid and binding written releases of Seller and any of its Affiliates, as applicable, from any Liability, whether arising before, on or after the Closing Date, under the Seller Guarantees set forth on Section 5.17 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, by providing substitute guarantees by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer approved by the applicable counterparty and containing terms that are as favorable to the counterparty as the terms of the applicable Seller Guarantee and by furnishing letters of credit, instituting escrow arrangements, posting surety or performance bonds or making other arrangements as the counterparty may reasonably request; provided, however, if Buyer is unable to obtain the valid and binding written release of Seller under any such Seller Guarantees, then (i) Buyer shall indemnify Seller or its Affiliate, as applicable, with respect to any claim for damages resulting from or attributable to such unreleased Seller Guarantee and to provide to Seller or its Affiliate, as applicable, security reasonably acceptable to Seller to provide immediate support in respect of such indemnity obligation and (ii) Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, from and after the Closing, to obtain from the respective beneficiary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and effective as of the Closing, valid and binding written releases of Seller and any of its Affiliates under any such Seller Guarantee. Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to any such beneficiary all financial and other information regarding Buyer or its Affiliates as may be reasonably requested by such beneficiary to facilitate such substitute guarantees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that until the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates shall not terminate, obtain release of or otherwise limit its Liability under any and all outstanding Seller Guarantees.

SECTION 5.18 Post-Closing Use of Name; MBM Materials.

(a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) it has no right, title or interest in or to (A) the MBM Materials, or (B) the Seller Marks, including the Seller Marks described on Section 5.18(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, as well as any item generally described in the definition of “Seller Marks” that is confusingly similar to any Seller Xxxx, (ii) it shall have no right to use the MBM Materials or, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Seller Marks after the Closing, and (iii) it shall otherwise cease to hold itself and the Facility out as having any affiliation with Seller or any of its Affiliates. In furtherance thereof, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall (A) remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all Seller Marks from all Acquired Assets, including any vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, computer software, technical guidelines, standards and procedures and other materials included in the Acquired Assets, and (B) remove the name and contact information of the Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to any pipeline markers on or adjacent to the Real Property. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be deemed to have violated this Section 5.18(a) or to have infringed the rights of Seller or its Affiliates by reason of the use of the Seller Marks in a non-trademark manner for purposes of conveying to customers, suppliers or the general public of the change in ownership of the Acquired Assets, or the historical origins of the Facility.

(b) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 5.18 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 5.18 will cause irreparable injury to Buyer, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 5.18 will be inadequate. Therefore, Buyer will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 5.18 without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond whatsoever. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 5.18 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Buyer may have hereunder or at law or in equity. If Buyer were to seek damages for any breach of this Section 5.18, the portion of the Purchase Price which is allocated by the Parties to the foregoing covenant shall not be considered a measure of or limit on such damages.

SECTION 5.19 Additional Documentation. During the Interim Period, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such assistance (and to cause its Affiliates and the respective personnel and advisors of each of the foregoing to provide such assistance) reasonably requested by Buyer, including by (a) providing reasonably requested information to Buyer, and its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives for use in preparing financial statements (including audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016 and unaudited interim financial statements), including by making available the applicable personnel of Seller and its Affiliates who were involved in the preparation of the Financial Statements and their outside auditors to provide reasonable assistance and information in connection therewith, (b) assisting Buyer (including by providing Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to the Facility and the Real Property) in obtaining a survey or surveys of the Real Property (in accordance with the 2016 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys) at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and (c) assisting Buyer in obtaining a Title Policy, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense including, if required by the applicable title insurer, by delivering a certificate to such title insurer, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of the Parties and the title insurer.

SECTION 5.20 Insurance. Buyer shall be solely responsible for providing insurance in respect of the Acquired Assets and for any claims made in connection with any losses from and after the Closing. Without limiting the rights of Buyer set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, if any claims are made or damages, losses or liabilities occur prior to the Closing Date that relate to any of the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Facility, and such claims, or the claims associated with such damages, losses or liabilities, may be made against third-party insurance policies retained by Seller or any of its Affiliates, then Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, if so requested by Buyer in writing, to ensure that after the Closing Date Buyer can file, notice and otherwise continue to pursue such claims and recover proceeds under the terms of such policies, provided, however, that Buyer will reimburse Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller or its Affiliates, including the payment of applicable deductible and retention amounts, from and after the Closing as a result of assisting Buyer in seeking insurance proceeds under a policy.

SECTION 5.21 Amendment to Spread Strike Schedule. To the extent that the Closing has not occurred prior to December 31, 2017, then prior to the Closing the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to amend Schedule G so that such Schedule includes a spread strike for each month through the month that contains the fifth (5th) year anniversary of the Closing Date.

SECTION 5.22 Firm Transportation Capacity Release.

(a) The Parties will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable (i) for Seller to release the full extent of its firm gas transportation capacity rights under the Firm Transportation Agreement to Buyer pursuant to a pre-arranged capacity release under the General Terms and Conditions of EPNG’s FERC Gas Tariff for an initial period of thirty-one (31) days beginning on the Closing Date whereby Buyer is designated as the “Pre-Arranged Shipper,” as such term is defined in EPNG’s FERC Gas Tariff (the “Short-Term Pre-Arranged Capacity Release”), and (ii) to secure the agreement of EPNG, pursuant to Section 4.20(a) or Section 9.10(c) of the General Terms and Conditions of EPNG’s FERC Gas Tariff, that Seller shall be relieved, as of the effective date of Pre-Arranged Capacity Release, of any further liability for payment of charges applicable to the capacity released under the Firm Transportation Agreement. The terms of the Short-Term Pre-Arranged Capacity Release will be the same as those terms contained in the Firm Transportation Agreement, as applicable, so as to effectuate the release of the full extent of the capacity rights held by Seller under the Firm Transportation Agreement for such period and to permit the transfer of such capacity to Buyer. Seller shall not conduct an open season or seek any bids from other potential shippers with respect to the Short-Term Pre-Arranged Capacity Release. No later than one day before the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver notice of the Short-Term Pre-Arranged Capacity Release to EPNG’s Electronic Bulletin Board or EBB (as such terms are defined in EPNG’s FERC Gas Tariff).

(b) During the term of the Short-Term Pre-Arranged Capacity Release, the Parties will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable for Seller to release the full extent of its firm gas transportation capacity rights under the Firm Transportation Agreement to Buyer on a permanent basis pursuant to a pre-arranged capacity release under the General Terms and Conditions of EPNG’s FERC Gas Tariff whereby Buyer is the “Permanent Pre-Arranged Shipper,” as such term is defined in EPNG’s FERC Gas Tariff (the “Pre-Arranged Capacity Release”). The terms of the Permanent Pre-Arranged Capacity Release will be the same as those terms contained in the Firm Transportation Agreement, as applicable, so as to effectuate the release of all capacity rights held by Seller under the Firm Transportation Agreement and to permit the transfer of such capacity to Buyer. Seller shall not seek bids to compete with the non-rate provisions of Buyer’s pre-arranged bid and shall conduct the shortest possible open season permitted under the General Terms and Conditions of EPNG’s FERC Gas Tariff. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall enter any bids into such open season. Seller shall deliver notice of the Permanent Pre-Arranged Capacity Release to EPNG’s Electronic Bulletin Board or EBB (as such terms are defined in EPNG’s FERC Gas Tariff) as soon as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date) and shall conduct the open season process for the Pre-Arranged Capacity Release as soon as practicable thereafter, consistent with the General Terms and Conditions of EPNG’s FERC Gas Tariff.

(c) Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all damages, losses or liabilities arising out of (i) Seller’s agreement to structure its release of its firm gas transportation capacity rights under the Firm Transportation Agreement to Buyer as a Pre-Arranged Capacity Release subject to all of the terms and conditions of Section 9 of the General Terms and Conditions of EPNG’s FERC Gas Tariff and (ii) EPNG’s refusal to agree, as contemplated by Section 5.22(a)(ii), that Seller shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of charges applicable to the capacity released under the Firm Transportation Agreement.

(ii) with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i) and Section 8.01(a)(ii), only with respect to individual items and aggregated items arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances where the Indemnifiable Losses relating thereto are in excess of $100,000 (provided, that any items less than such threshold, other than aggregated items arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances, shall not be aggregated for the purposes of the immediately preceding clause (i)); provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any indemnification obligation related to (x) any breach of any of the Seller Specified Representations; and

(iii) only if such claims are made on or before the expiration of the survival period pursuant to Section 7.01 for the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the Indemnified Buyer Entities be entitled to aggregate Indemnifiable Losses (i) with respect to all claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i) (other than any indemnification obligation related to the Seller Specified Representations) and Section 8.01(a)(ii) in excess of $35,000,000 (the “Cap”), or (ii) with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i) (only with respect to the Seller Specified Representations) and claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(iii) (when aggregated with all other Indemnifiable Losses of the Indemnified Buyer Entities) in excess of the Base Purchase Price.

(d) This Section 8.01 is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.03(b).

SECTION 8.02 Indemnification by Buyer.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, subject to the other provisions of this Article 8, Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, assigns and Affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnified Seller Entities”) and to hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Indemnifiable Losses suffered, paid or incurred by any such Indemnified Seller Entity and caused by any (i) breach of, inaccuracy in, or the failure to be true and correct of any of the representations and warranties made by Buyer in Article 4, (ii) breach of any of the covenants or agreements of Buyer contained in this Agreement or (iii) Assumed Liability.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (other than any indemnification obligation related to the Assumed Liabilities), in no event shall the Indemnified Seller Entities be entitled to aggregate Indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Cap.

SECTION 8.03 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If an Indemnified Buyer Entity or an Indemnified Seller Entity (each, an “Indemnified Entity”) believes that a claim, demand or other circumstance exists that has given or may reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article 8 (whether or not the amount of Indemnifiable Losses relating thereto is then quantifiable), such Indemnified Entity shall assert its claim for indemnification by giving written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Entity”) (i) if the event or occurrence giving rise to such claim for indemnification is, or relates to, a claim, suit, action or proceeding brought by a Person not a Party or affiliated with any such Party (a “Third Party”), within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of notice of such claim, suit, action or proceeding by such Indemnified Entity, or (ii) if the event or occurrence giving rise to such claim for indemnification is not, or does not relate to, a claim, suit, action or proceeding brought by a Third Party, as promptly as practicable after the discovery by the Indemnified Entity of the circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnity; provided, that in each case in clauses (i) and (ii), that the failure to notify or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Entity, as the case may be, will not relieve the Indemnifying Entity of its obligations pursuant to this Article 8, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Entity is materially prejudiced as a result thereof. Each Claim Notice shall describe the claim and the basis of such claim in reasonable detail.

(b) Upon receipt by an Indemnifying Entity of a Claim Notice in respect of an action or claim described in Section 8.03(a)(i), the Indemnifying Entity shall be entitled to: (i) assume and have sole control over the defense of such action or claim at its sole cost and expense (subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.03(b)) and with its own counsel if it gives written notice to the Indemnified Entity of its intention to do so and acknowledges its unqualified obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Entity as provided hereunder within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Entity (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires); provided, that the Indemnifying Entity’s retention of counsel shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Indemnified Entity if such counsel creates a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct and provided, further that the Indemnifying Entity shall not be entitled to assume and have control over such defense if such action or claim arises in connection with a criminal proceeding (provided, that the Indemnifying Entity shall be entitled to participate in such defense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Entity, at such Indemnifying Entity’s sole cost and expense); and (ii) negotiate a settlement or compromise of such action or claim; provided, that (A) such settlement or compromise shall include a full and unconditional waiver and release by the Third Party of all Indemnified Entities (without any cost or liability of any nature whatsoever to such Indemnified Entities) and (B) any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Entity, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If, within thirty (30) days following receipt from an Indemnified Entity of any Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party action or claim (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Entity (i) advises such Indemnified Entity in writing that the Indemnifying Entity shall not elect to defend, settle or compromise such action or claim, (ii) is not entitled to assume and control the defense of such action or claims, or (iii) fails to make

such an election in writing, then such Indemnified Entity may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim; provided, that any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnifying Entity, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Unless and until the Indemnifying Entity makes an election in accordance with this Section 8.03(b) to defend, settle or compromise such action or claim, all of the Indemnified Entity’s reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action or claim shall be Indemnifiable Losses subject to indemnification hereunder to the extent provided herein. Each Indemnified Entity shall make available to the Indemnifying Entity all information reasonably available to such Indemnified Entity relating to such action or claim, except as may be prohibited by applicable Law or necessary to protect any privilege. In addition, the Parties shall render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such action or claim. The Party in charge of the defense shall keep the other Parties fully and timely apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Entity elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Entity shall be entitled to participate in such defense (which participation rights shall include the right to attend any meetings with a Third Party or hearings or proceedings before any Governmental Entity to the extent they relate to such claim and to receive promptly copies of all pleadings, notices and communications related to such claim) with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Entity, at such Indemnified Entity’s sole cost and expense except if (i) a conflict of interest in relation to such action or claim exists between the Indemnifying Entity and the Indemnified Entity in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Entity or (ii) such action or claims seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Entity. The Indemnifying Entity must conduct its defense of any Third Party Claim described herein reasonably actively and diligently in order to preserve its rights in this Section 8.03(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Section 5.03(b) and not this Section 8.03(b) shall govern the conduct of any Tax Contest.

SECTION 8.04 Indemnification Generally.

(a) The amount which the Indemnifying Entity is or may be required to pay to any Indemnified Entity pursuant to this Article 8 shall be reduced (retroactively, if necessary) by any insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of such Indemnified Entity related to the related Indemnifiable Losses (net of any costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such claim (including increases in insurance premiums as a result of such claims)). If an Indemnified Entity shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from the Indemnifying Entity in respect of Indemnifiable Losses (including any Purchase Price adjustment with respect to the circumstances giving rise to such payment under this Article 8) and shall subsequently receive insurance proceeds or other amounts in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses, then such Indemnified Entity shall promptly repay to the Indemnifying Entity a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received (net of any costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such claim (including increases in insurance premiums as a result of such claims)).

(b) In addition to the requirements of Section 8.04(a), each Indemnified Entity shall be obligated in connection with any claim for indemnification under this Article 8 to use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Indemnifiable Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to give rise to such Indemnifiable Losses.

(c) Except for the rights and remedies set forth in Section 2.10 (Post-Closing Adjustment), Section 2.11 (Earnout), Section 5.13 (Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality) and Section 10.07 (Specific Performance) and claims of, or causes of action arising from Fraud: (i) the indemnification provided in this Article 8 shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any Party with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement; and (ii) in furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties and its Affiliates hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against the other Party arising under or based upon this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection herewith (except with respect to the rights and remedies set forth in this Article 8).

(d) To the extent permitted by Law, any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

(e) For purposes of determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss hereunder (but not for the purpose of determining whether any breach has occurred or whether any representation or warranty is inaccurate or is not true and correct), the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement or in any other document or instrument delivered hereunder will be considered without regard to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification set forth therein.

(f) Neither Party will have any indemnification obligations relating to, and none of the Indemnified Buyer Entities or the Indemnified Seller Entities will be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 for, any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent that such Indemnifiable Losses were included, or should have been included, in the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount or the Closing Date Net Indebtedness Amount.

SECTION 8.05 Setoff Permitted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without prejudice to any other right or remedy it has or may have, Buyer may set off or recoup the amount of Indemnifiable Losses Seller or any of its Affiliates is required to pay to Buyer or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Article 8 against any Liability of Buyer to Seller under Section 2.11 (Earnout); provided, however, that (a) in no event shall Buyer have any rights of set off under this Section 8.05 unless a final determination of the amount of Indemnifiable Losses has been made and (b) any such setoff shall be subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Article 8. A “final determination” will exist when (i) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing, or (ii) a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction will have entered a final Order or rendered a final determination with respect to disputes the parties have agreed to submit thereto.

ARTICLE 9

(c) by either Buyer or Seller by giving written notice to the other Party if any Governmental Entity shall have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree or ruling or other action shall not be subject to appeal or shall have become final and non-appealable;

(d) by either Buyer or Seller by giving written notice to the other Party if there has been a breach by such other Party of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement and, assuming Closing were to occur on the day on which such written notice is provided pursuant to this Section 9.01(d), such breach would result in the failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions to Closing of the Party sending such notice (set forth in Section 6.02 or Section 6.03, as applicable) and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if of a character that is capable of being cured, is not cured by the breaching Party within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days of its receipt of such written notice from the other Party or (ii) the number of days remaining prior to the Outside Date; or

(e) by either Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 5.10(d) by giving written notice to the other Party.

SECTION 9.02 Effect of Termination.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 9.01(a) through (e), such termination shall be without liability of any Party to the other Parties for any breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements under this Agreement prior to such termination, except to the extent set forth in Section 9.02(c).

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by either Party pursuant to Section 9.01, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated, without further action by any Party, provided, that Buyer, at its option, shall either (i) return all documents and other material received from Seller, its Affiliates or their advisors or representatives relating to the Facility, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether so obtained before or after the execution of this Agreement, to Seller, or (ii) destroy all copies of the foregoing documents and materials, and deliver a certificate to Seller confirming such destruction, and, in either case, shall continue to treat all confidential information received by Buyer and its Affiliates and their Representatives with respect to the Facility, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination hereof.

Nothing in this Section 9.02 shall be deemed to release any Party from any Liability to the other Party for any breach by such Party of the covenants and other agreements of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination or to impair the right of any Party to compel specific performance by any other Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.05 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

SECTION 10.07 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms and that any remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

SECTION 10.08 Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) The Parties agree that the appropriate, exclusive and convenient forum (“Forum”) for any other disputes between any of the Parties hereto arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby is the Court of Chancery in the City of Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware except where such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction. In such event, the Forum is in the federal district court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware or, in the event such federal district court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, then in the Superior Court in the City of Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the Forum in respect of any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties further agree that the Parties will not bring suit with respect to any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court or jurisdiction other than the Forum. The preceding sentence will not limit the rights of the Parties to obtain execution of a

judgment in any other jurisdiction. The Parties further agree, to the extent permitted by Law, that a final and non-appealable judgment against a Party in any proceeding contemplated in this Section 10.08 will be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which will be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment.

Each of the Parties hereby consents to process being served by any Party in any suit, action or proceeding by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01.

(c) EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 10.09 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties hereto without the prior written consent of Seller, in the case of Buyer, and Buyer, in the case of Seller; provided, that, (a) without such prior written consent, Seller may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder (including Seller’s right to seek indemnification hereunder) to any Affiliate or Affiliates of Seller so long as Seller and Seller Guarantor (subject to Section 10.15) retain ultimate liability for all obligations of Seller pursuant to this Agreement and (b) without such prior written consent, Buyer may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder (including Buyer’s right to seek indemnification hereunder) to any Affiliate or Affiliates of Buyer so long as Buyer and Buyer Guarantor (subject to Section 10.14) retain ultimate liability for all obligations of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to such Party shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 10.09 shall be null and void, ab initio.

SECTION 10.10 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.11 Schedules and Exhibits. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein are intended to be and hereby are made a part of this Agreement. Any disclosure in the Seller Disclosure Letter or Buyer Disclosure Letter corresponding to and qualifying a specific numbered paragraph or section hereof shall be deemed to correspond to and qualify such numbered paragraph or section and any other numbered paragraph or section with respect to which applicability of such disclosure is readily

apparent on its face. Certain information set forth in the Schedules is included solely for informational purposes, is not an admission of liability with respect to the matters covered by the information, and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Schedules is not intended to imply that such amounts (or higher or lower amounts) are or are not material.

SECTION 10.12 Bulk Sales Laws. Each Party hereby waives compliance by the Parties with the provisions of the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” and similar Laws set forth in Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code as it is in effect in the states where the Acquired Assets are located and all other similar Laws of any Governmental Entity other than bulk-transfer tax notice provisions.

SECTION 10.13 Conflict of Interest; Privilege.

(a) Conflict of Interest. If Seller so desires, and without the need for any consent or waiver by Buyer, Xxxxx Day is permitted to represent Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Closing in connection with any matter, including any matter related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto.

(b) With respect to any attorney-client and work product privileges belonging to a Party with respect to the Facility, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities (collectively, “Privileges”) for matters relating to the business records, documents, communications or other information (collectively, “Information”) of Seller or any of its Affiliates, including the Excluded Assets and Retained Liabilities, to the extent prepared in connection with this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (“Acquisition Information”), Seller will have sole authority to determine whether to assert or waive any Privileges, including the right to assert any Privilege against Buyer and its Affiliates. Buyer and its Affiliates will take no action without the prior written consent of Seller that would reasonably be expected to result in any waiver of any such Privileges of Seller relating to the Acquisition Information. After the Closing, Buyer will have sole authority to determine whether to assert or waive any Privileges with respect to Information relating to the Facility, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities other than the Acquisition Information, and Seller and its Affiliates will take no action after the Closing without the prior written consent of Buyer that would reasonably be expected to result in any waiver of any such Privileges of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer will not assert any Privileges related to (i) pre-Closing Information, advice or communications relating to the Facility, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities against Seller or its Affiliates or (ii) Privileged Information to the extent relating to the Excluded Assets or Retained Liabilities.

(c) The rights and obligations created by Section 10.13(b) and this Section 10.13(c) will apply to all Information as to which Seller or any of its Affiliates would be entitled to assert or has asserted a Privilege (the “Privileged Information”). Upon receipt by Seller or its Affiliates, or Buyer or its Affiliates, of, or any such Person becomes aware that a current or former employee of such Person has received, any subpoena, discovery or other request from any Person that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of one or more of the other Parties, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, will promptly notify the

other Party of the existence of the request and will provide such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it may have under Section 10.13(b) or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of any such Privileged Information. Seller’s transfer of any Information to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement and Seller’s agreement to permit Buyer to obtain Information existing prior to the Closing are made in reliance on the Parties’ respective agreements to maintain the confidentiality of such Information in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 5.04 and to take the steps provided herein for the preservation of all Privileges that may belong to or be asserted by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, as set forth in this Section 10.13. The access to Information being granted pursuant to this Agreement, including Sections 5.01, 5.05 and 5.19, and the disclosure to Buyer or Seller of Privileged Information relating to the Facility, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities or any of other business of Seller or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby will not be asserted by Buyer or Seller to constitute, or otherwise be deemed, a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under Section 10.13(b), this Section 10.13(c) or otherwise.

SECTION 10.14 Buyer Guaranty.

(a) Buyer Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a principal and not as a surety, to Seller the prompt and full performance and payment of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement (the “Buyer Obligations”), and Seller hereby agrees and acknowledges that Buyer Guarantor is a signatory to this Agreement solely for such purpose. Seller may seek remedies directly from Buyer Guarantor with respect to the Buyer Obligations without first exhausting its remedies against Buyer. The liability of Buyer Guarantor hereunder is, in all cases, subject to all defenses, setoffs and counterclaims available to Buyer with respect to performance or payment of the Buyer Obligations. Buyer Guarantor waives presentment, demand and any other notice with respect to any of the Buyer Obligations and any defenses that Buyer Guarantor may have with respect to any of the Buyer Obligations other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the guarantee set forth in this Section 10.14 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Closing and (ii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01, except that the obligations of Buyer Guarantor shall terminate thirty (30) days following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d) (unless a Claim is made hereunder prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, in which case the obligations pursuant to this Section 10.14 shall terminate upon the resolution of such Claim).

(b) For purposes of Sections 10.01 through 10.10, Buyer Guarantor shall be deemed to be a Party.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer Guarantor’s aggregate obligations pursuant to this Section 10.14 shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

SECTION 10.15 Seller Guaranty.

(a) Seller Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a principal and not as a surety, to Buyer the prompt and full payment of Seller’s monetary obligations under this Agreement that are required to be paid by Seller from and after the Closing (the “Seller Obligations”), and Buyer hereby agrees and acknowledges that Seller Guarantor is a signatory to this Agreement solely for such purpose. Buyer may seek remedies directly from Seller Guarantor with respect to the Seller Obligations without first exhausting its remedies against Seller.

Exhibit G

Form of License Agreement

LICENSE AGREEMENT

This License Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of [ ], 2017 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Odessa-Ector Power Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Licensor”) and La Frontera Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company(“Licensee”). Licensee and Licensor are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Parties” and singularly as a “Party”.

WHEREAS, Licensor and Licensee, among others, are parties to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 5, 2017 (the “APA”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the APA, Licensor has acquired an approximately 1000 megawatt combined cycle, combustion turbine power plant located in Odessa, Texas (the “Facility”);

WHEREAS, the Facility is benefitted by certain natural gas pipeline easements upon which pipelines have been constructed so as to transport natural gas to the Facility;

WHEREAS, although the APA contemplated the assignment of the aforementioned easements to Licensee, some of such easements, as identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (each, an “Easement” and, collectively, the “Easements”), require the consent of the grantors thereof prior to the effective assignment of such Easements to Licensee, which consent has not, as of the date hereof, been obtained by the Parties; and

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement to permit Licensee to benefit from the use of the Easements, without assuming legal or equitable title therein or thereto, for the transmission of natural gas to the Facility until such time as the grantors’ consent to the assignment of each Easement to Licensee has been obtained.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

LICENSE

Section 1.01 License Grant. The Parties acknowledge that Licensor is and shall remain throughout the Term the holder of legal title in and to the Easements in accordance with their terms. Pursuant to Section 2.06 of the APA, the Parties have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of each of the grantors of the Easements to the assignment thereof to Buyer, but as of the date hereof, such consents have not been obtained. Accordingly, with respect to each Easement, until such consent is obtained, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a perpetual, non-exclusive license and privilege to access, use and otherwise enjoy the benefits of the Licensor’s rights under each Easement in furtherance of Licensee’s ownership, operation, repair, maintenance, replacement and removal of the pipelines for the provision of natural gas to the Facility, all as contemplated by this Agreement and the APA, to the fullest extent such rights may be exercised by any other licensee or invitee of Licensor under the Easements (the “License”); provided, however, that the License shall only be deemed to have been granted

G-1

hereby if and to the extent the grant thereof does not (a) breach or otherwise violate, or result in a default or event of default under, the Easements, or (b) violate applicable law or legal requirements. With respect to any portion or portions of the Easements to which the License cannot be granted pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Licensor shall be deemed to have agreed to hold such portion or portions of the Easements, and the rights and benefits of ownership thereof, in trust for the benefit of Licensee until such time as the applicable consent is obtained. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall undertake to pay or satisfy the corresponding Liabilities (as defined in the APA) for the use of each Easement to the extent Licensee would have been responsible therefor if a consent to assign any such Easement had been obtained and full legal and/or equitable title in and to such Easement was assigned to Licensee. Further, Licensee shall at all times comply with all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Easements relating to the use thereof (as though it were the grantee thereunder) and neither Party shall take any action to terminate any Easement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement is not intended to and does not grant or create an easement, servitude or other real property interest, but creates a license only, and Licensee acknowledges that Licensee does not and shall not claim at any time any real property interest or estate of any kind or extent whatsoever in the Easements by virtue of this Agreement or Licensee’s use or occupancy of the Easements. In connection with the foregoing, the Parties further acknowledge that in no event shall the relationship between Licensor and Licensee be deemed to be a so-called landlord-tenant relationship and that in no event shall Licensee be entitled to avail itself of any rights afforded to tenants under the laws of the state in which the Easements are located.

Section 1.02 Term. The License to Licensee shall continue as to each Easement until such time as consent to assign any such Easement has been obtained and Licensor’s full legal title in and to any such Easement has been assigned to Licensee (the “Term”). If and only if the Parties have obtained the consent of the grantor of any Easement to the assignment thereof to the Licensee (or, if sooner, any unassigned Easement has expired by its terms) then this Agreement and the License herein granted shall be terminated with respect to any such Easement, without further action by any Party, but this Agreement shall in all events remain in full force and effect until Licensor has obtained grantor consent to the assignment of the last such Easement or the last such unassigned Easement has expired by it terms.

ARTICLE 2

INSURANCE

Section 2.01 Licensee’s Insurance. At all times during the Term, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonably efforts to maintain, or cause to be maintained, in full force and effect a comprehensive public liability insurance policy naming Licensor, as an additional insured, covering death of or injury to persons or damage to property (with limits not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence) arising out of the use of the Easements or the activities of Licensee or its employees, agents or invitees in relation thereto. In addition, Licensee shall maintain its own insurance covering the pipeline equipment and related assets, against any casualty (it being understood that Licensor shall not be liable to Licensee in respect of any of such pipeline equipment and related assets nor casualty thereto unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Licensor).

G-2

ARTICLE 3

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 3.01 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party herein waives its respective right to any jury trial with respect to any litigation arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement.

Section 3.02 No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement shall not be construed to create any third party beneficiary relationship in favor of anyone not a party to this Agreement. In addition, the Parties waive and disclaim any third party beneficiary status as to any of the contracts of the other Party.

Section 3.03 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without regard to any principles of conflicts of laws that would render such law inapplicable.

Section 3.04 Modifications. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties, which shall not be modified except by writing signed by the Parties. Neither Party has made any representations to the other except as specifically set forth herein or in the APA.

Section 3.05 Recitals, Headings and Titles. The captions in this Agreement are for the convenience of the Parties in the identification of the provisions hereof and shall not constitute a part of the Agreement nor be considered interpretive thereof.

Section 3.06 Assignment.

(a) This Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives and representatives in bankruptcy of the Parties hereto. Neither Party shall sell, assign, or convey this Agreement or any interest or part thereof without the prior written consent of the other, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Licensor covenants and agrees that it shall not transfer, assign, encumber, modify or terminate any Easement without the prior written consent of Licensee.

Section 3.07 Indemnification. Licensee acknowledges that Licensor is entering into this Agreement as an accommodation to Licensee, and accordingly Licensee shall indemnify Licensor from any damages, losses or claims arising from performance or non-performance of this Agreement except for those resulting from Licensor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 3.08 Damages. In the event a Party breaches any provision of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to recover from the other Party the direct actual damages, if any, suffered by the non-breaching Party as a consequence of the other Party’s breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Party shall be liable under this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, for (i) punitive or exemplary damages or losses calculated by reference to any multiple of (A) earnings or earnings before interest, tax, depreciation or amortization or (B) other financial metric or (ii) special, consequential or indirect damages or lost profits that are not the reasonably foreseeable result of a breach of this

G-3

Agreement, in each case, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other law or otherwise and whether or not arising from the other Party’s sole, joint or concurrent negligence, strict liability or other fault for any matter relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to third-party claims for which any Party is obligated to indemnify another Person hereunder.
