8.4 Access and Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Sellers shall be obligated to cause any of the Companies to: (i) provide any information, records, or documents to the extent that the provision of such information, records, or documents could violate any contractual obligation (after seeking a waiver of such contractual obligation) or result in the loss of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such information, records, or documents; or (ii) supply the Buyer with any information, records, or documents that any of the Companies or any of their Affiliates is under a legal obligation not to supply (after seeking a waiver of such legal obligation, where applicable).

A-47

8.5 Schedule Update. From time to time prior to the Closing Date, each Seller shall supplement or amend and deliver updates to the Disclosure Schedules (each a “Schedule Update”), to the extent that new items are discovered or new matters arise which any Seller was otherwise entitled or obligated to disclose hereunder. No Schedule Update delivered pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be deemed to cure any breach of this Agreement (determined without regard to any such Schedule Update).

8.6 Further Assurances.

(a) At any time and from time to time after the Closing, at the written request of the Buyer, each Seller shall, subject to Section 14.14 and Section 12.2.: (i) execute and deliver such instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, and confirmation; and (ii) take such action, in each case as such Seller and the Buyer may reasonably agree is necessary to transfer, convey, and assign to the Buyer and to confirm the Buyer’s title to or interest in the Interests (at such Seller’s expense), and the Companies and their respective Assets (at the Buyer’s expense), to be sold by such Seller hereunder.

(b) The Buyer acknowledges that one or more of the Sellers and/or certain of their Affiliates may liquidate their assets and dissolve following the Closing, and nothing set forth in this Section 8.6 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict or limit in any way the right of any of the Sellers or any Affiliate of the Sellers to do so at any time after the Closing Date.

8.7 Access after Closing. For a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be reasonably required in the case of a Tax Controversy), the Buyer shall have reasonable access to all of the records, books, and documents of the Sellers related to the Companies and the Projects to the extent that such access may be necessary in connection with matters relating to or affected by the operations of the Companies or the Projects prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, liabilities with respect to Taxes). Such access shall be afforded upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. The Buyer shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by it or out-of-pocket costs of any Seller pursuant to this Section 8.7. If any Seller shall desire to dispose of any records, books, or documents that may relate to operations of any of the Companies or any of the Projects before the Closing prior to the expiration of such two-year period, such Seller shall, prior to such disposition, give the Buyer a reasonable opportunity, at the Buyer’s expense, to segregate and remove such records, books, or documents as the Buyer may select. The Buyer acknowledges that one or more of the Sellers and/or certain of their Affiliates may liquidate their assets and dissolve, and nothing set forth in this Section 8.7 shall be deemed to restrict or limit in any way the right of any of the Sellers or any Affiliate of the Sellers to do so at any time after the Closing Date, including prior to the conclusion of such two-year period.

8.8 Exclusivity.

(a) The Sellers, the Parent Companies, RRP and RPMC shall, and they each shall cause their respective Representatives and, in the case of the Sellers and the Parent Companies, the Companies, to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any third party (other than Buyer and its Affiliates) that may be ongoing as of the date hereof with respect to an actual or potential Alternative Transaction. In addition, the Sellers, the Parent Companies, RRP, and RPMC shall not, and they each shall cause their respective Representatives and, in the case of the Sellers and the Parent Companies, the Companies, not to, subject to Section 8.8(b) below, (i) directly or indirectly, solicit, or initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information or providing access to its properties, books, records or personnel) any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, an Alternative Transaction, (ii) enter into any agreement or agreement in principle with respect to an Alternative Transaction, (iii) engage in negotiations or discussions regarding, or furnish or disclose to any third party any information with respect to any Alternative Transaction; provided, however, that at any time prior to obtaining the Shareholder Approvals, in response to a bona fide Alternative Transaction received by the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative after the date hereof that was not solicited in violation of this Section 8.8 and that RRP, as the managing shareholder of the Trusts, determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors) would reasonably be expected

A-48

to lead to a Superior Proposal, and, that the failure to take the actions set forth in clauses (x) and (y) below with respect to such Alternative Transaction would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and the governing documents of such Seller (as such documents are in effect as of the date hereof), then the Sellers’ Representative may (on behalf of Trust I or the Providence Sellers (as applicable)), in response to such Alternative Transaction (x) provide access to its properties, personnel, books and records and furnish information to the Person making such Alternative Transaction and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Alternative Transaction regarding such Alternative Transaction; provided, that, prior to furnishing such information to or entering into discussions or negotiations with such Person, the Sellers’ Representative shall receive from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to, and not materially less favorable to the Sellers and the Companies than, in the aggregate, those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, further that the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly provide to Buyer any non-public information concerning the Sellers or the Companies not previously provided to Buyer or its Representatives that is provided to the Person making such Alternative Transaction.

Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Companies would be irreparably damaged if it were to provide services to or otherwise participate in the business of any Person competing with the Companies in a similar business and that any such competition by any Seller would result in a significant loss of goodwill by the Companies. Each Seller further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 8.10 were a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and that Buyer and its Affiliates would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the parties hereto if such Seller breached the provisions of this Section 8.10. Therefore, in further consideration of the amounts to be paid hereunder for the Equity Interests and the goodwill of the Companies sold by Sellers, each Seller agrees that he shall not (and shall cause his Affiliates not to), for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, (i) induce, or attempt to induce, any employee of the Companies to terminate his association with the Companies, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Companies or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and any employee, on the other hand or (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Companies at any time during the six month period immediately prior to the date on which such hiring would take place (it being conclusively presumed by the parties so as to avoid any dispute under this Section 8.10 that any such hiring is in violation of clause (i) above).

(b) The covenants contained in this Section 8.10 are considered by the Sellers to be fair, reasonable and necessary for the protection of Buyer and the Companies. Each Seller acknowledges that the scope, duration and area of the restrictions contained in this Section 8.10 are both reasonable and necessary for the legitimate protection of Buyer and the Companies following the Closing Date. If any portion of this Section 8.10, or any portion of any subsection of this Section, shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, then such Section or subsection shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, geographic area or range of activities as to which it may be enforceable, and the Parties shall forthwith amend this Agreement to the extent required to render it enforceable.

(ii) the right and remedy to require the breaching Seller to account for and pay over to Buyer or the Companies any profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by such Person as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 8.10.

(a) The Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies to, provide such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with its debt financing activities relating to the Projects or the Expansions, including: (i) participation in meetings, drafting sessions, and due diligence sessions, and otherwise assisting Buyer in the preparation of offering, marketing and syndication materials; (ii) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of Buyer and its financing sources for any of its debt financing activities related to the Projects or the Expansions (the “Financing Entities”), including participation in management presentation sessions, meetings with rating agencies, and “road shows;” (iii) furnishing Buyer and the Financing Entities with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Companies and their assets as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, including all financial statements, pro forma statements, business projections, and other financial data of the type required by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K for a “Smaller Reporting Company” under the Securities Act, or of the type and form customarily included in offering memoranda, private placement memoranda, prospectuses, bank books and similar documents; (iv) providing and executing documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, including a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Companies with respect to solvency matters and consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials relating to Buyer’s debt financing activities relating to the Projects or the Expansions; (v) reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral; and (vi) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain accountants’ comfort letters, legal opinions, surveys and title insurance as reasonably requested by Buyer; it being understood that neither RPMC, the Companies nor the Sellers shall be required to bear any of the out-of-pocket costs, including accountants and attorneys’ fees, for any such cooperation in connection with such debt financing activities prior to the Closing.

(b) The Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies, in addition to clause (a) above, and to the extent reasonably required by Buyer: (i) to the extent feasible, execute any assignments, amendments and modifications to any documents that are effective only if Closing occurs or are relevant to the debt financing (including, without limitation, any Material Project Document (including those currently in draft form) reasonably requested by the Financing Entities or the Buyer, if any; and (ii) to promptly execute or consent to other documents that are effective only if Closing occurs or to the extent reasonably required by any Financing Entities or the Buyer in connection with the debt financing. The Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies to, also provide such data, reports, certifications and other documents as may be reasonably requested by any Financing Entities or the Buyer with respect to the debt financing (including, as the case may be, any such data, reports, certifications, and other documents required with respect to any Treasury Grant application). Without limiting the foregoing, as soon as feasible after determination of the layout of the Olinda Expansion, BPP and BPII shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have surveyed the “Site” (as described therein) licensed to such parties under the Third Amended & Restated Landfill Gas Rights & Production Facilities Agreement referred to in the definition of Material Project Documents and to have such agreement amended to reflect such survey.

(c) Within four (4) Business Days following Buyer’s receipt of a duly executed copy of a binding debt financing commitment with its lenders with respect to the debt financing of the Projects and/or the Expansions, Buyer shall deliver a copy of such debt financing commitment to the Sellers’ Representative (for the benefit of the Sellers). Within four (4) Business Days following receipt of such debt financing commitment, RRP, as the managing shareholder of the Trusts, shall make a determination in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and financial advisors) whether such debt commitment contains any changes to the conditions to closing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from those set forth in the Debt Term Sheet (including Section 50 thereof) and, if so, whether such changes would reasonably be likely to delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement such that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would not be capable of completion by the Termination Date, including, if such changes would require a modification of any material Permit or of any Material Project Document in a manner that would reasonably be likely to result in such delay (such a determination a “Financing Delay Determination”). Within three (3) Business Days following receipt of such debt financing commitment, the Sellers’ Representative shall notify Buyer whether a Financing

A-51

Delay Determination has been made (and shall specify the factors underlying such determination in detail). If the Sellers’ Representative does not so notify Buyer within such three (3) Business Day time period, then it shall be deemed that no such Financing Delay Determination was made. In the event that the Sellers’ Representative delivers a Financing Delay Determination to Buyer, then Buyer and the Sellers shall work together in good faith to eliminate such delay (if practicable), including by discussing such delay with Buyer’s lenders (to the extent agreed upon by Buyer and Buyer’s lenders without additional cost or expense to Buyer) such that the Closing could take place prior to the Termination Date. In the event that the parties are unable to remove any such delay resulting in such Financing Delay Determination within five (5) Business Days following Buyer’s receipt thereof, then the Seller Representative shall not be required to mail or cause to be mailed the Consent Statements to the respective holders of Equity Interests of each of Trust I, Trust III, Trust IV and B Fund for the purpose of obtaining the Shareholder Approval for each such Seller and Buyer shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.1(f).

11.1 Liability for Taxes.

(a) Trust I shall indemnify Buyer, the Olinda Companies, and the Providence Companies, and hold them harmless from and against (without duplication, and only to the extent reserves therefore have not otherwise reduced the Purchase Price through their inclusion as a Current Liability in the determination of Closing Date Working Capital of the Olinda Company Group), any Losses attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Olinda Companies for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which any of the Olinda Companies (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation and (iii) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Olinda Companies) imposed on the Olinda Companies as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before Closing.

(b) Each Providence Seller shall severally (not jointly and not joint and severally) indemnify Buyer, the Olinda Companies, and the Providence Companies, and hold them harmless from and against (without duplication, and only to the extent reserves therefore have not otherwise reduced the Purchase Price through their inclusion as a Current Liability in the determination of Closing Date Working Capital of the Providence

A-58

Company Group) any Losses attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Providence Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which any of the Providence Companies (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation, and (iii) any and all Taxes any Person (other than the Providence Companies) imposed on the Providence Companies as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law or resolution, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before Closing.

(c) In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a ‘‘Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Olinda Companies or the Providence Companies for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Olinda Companies or the Providence Companies holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and the amount of other Taxes of the Olinda Companies and the Providence Companies for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. Any Taxes not attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall constitute “Post-Closing Tax Period Taxes.”

(d) The Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay or reimburse the Sellers for the Post-Closing Tax Period Taxes.

(e) Trust I shall cause Brea Parent and the Providence Sellers shall cause RILG, to prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, the final federal, state or local income Tax Return of the applicable Company for any taxable period ending on the Closing Date. The Buyer shall prepare and timely file or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed by the Companies all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Companies or in respect to their respective business, assets or operations and shall be responsible for all taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns.

(f) The Buyer and each of the Sellers agree to cooperate and share, before, at and after the Closing, all required information on a timely basis in order to timely file all Tax Returns, reports, returns, schedules and any other documents required to be filed with respect to Taxes and all claims for refunds of Taxes and for the preparation of any audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim or proceeding relating to any proposed adjustment. The Buyer and each of the Sellers agree to retain or cause to be retained all Tax Returns and books and records pertinent to the Companies and the Interests until the applicable period for assessment under applicable Law (giving effect to any and all extensions or waivers) has expired, and to abide by or cause the abidance with all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority. After the Closing, the Buyer, on the one hand, and each of the Sellers, on the other hand, shall give each other reasonable notice prior to transferring, discarding or destroying any such Tax Returns and books and records relating to Tax matters, and shall allow each other upon request to take possession of such Tax Returns, and books and records at the requesting Party’s expense. The Buyer, on the one hand, and each of the Sellers, on the other hand, shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceedings involving any of the Companies or any of the Interests for any Tax purpose. The Sellers shall have the sole right to represent the Companies’ interests in any audit or examination by any Governmental Authority (“Tax Audit”) to the extent that such Tax Audit relates to U.S. federal, state or local income Taxes with respect to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing and to employ counsel of their choice at their expense. At the request of any Seller with respect to a Company sold by it hereunder, or of the Sellers’ Representative, the Buyer shall cause such Company to make or join with such Seller in making elections with respect to its Tax Returns for periods ending on or before the Closing; provided, however, that the making of such election does not have a Material Adverse Effect in relation to the Companies taken as a whole for any post-Closing Tax period.

(g) All excise, sales, use, transfer (including real property transfer or gains), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes, together with any interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto and

A-59

any interest in respect of such additions or penalties (the ‘‘Transfer Taxes”), resulting from the transfer of the Interests pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by the Buyer.

(h) The Parties agree that the Purchase Price and any other relevant items shall be allocated among the Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder. Within sixty days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative an allocation schedule allocating the Purchase Price and any such other relevant items among the Assets (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding on the Parties unless, within thirty days after delivery thereof to the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative delivers a written notice to the Buyer of its objections to the Allocation Schedule, in which case the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute between them. If the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty days thereafter, then the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall submit all such disputed items for resolution to the Accountants, whose decision shall be final and binding upon all Parties. The fees of the Accountants shall be shared equally by the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand. The Buyer and each of the Sellers shall (i) be bound by the Allocation Schedule (as adjusted) for purposes of determining any Taxes, (ii) prepare and file their Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation Schedule, and (iii) take no position inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule on any Tax Return or in any proceeding before any taxing authority; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Buyer and the Sellers from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation Schedule, and neither the Buyer nor any Seller shall be required to litigate before any court, any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority challenging the Allocation Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree that the draft Allocation Schedule and the final Allocation Schedule shall be consistent with the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Interests as set forth in Section 2.1 hereto and provide that: (i) an amount of the Purchase Price that is allocated to the unrealized receivables of the Companies shall not exceed the face value of such unrealized receivables as of the Closing Date and (ii) an amount of the Purchase Price that is allocated to the inventory of the Companies shall not exceed the book value of such inventory as of the Closing Date.

(i) All Production Tax Credits accruing with respect to a Company under Section 45 of the Code on or prior to the Closing Date shall be allocated to and for the benefit of the Seller or Sellers of such Company, and all Production Tax Credits accruing after the Closing Date shall be allocated to and for the benefit of the Buyer.

The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) shall survive for the applicable periods set forth in this Section 12.1 and shall in no event be affected by any investigation, inquiry or examination made for or on behalf of any Party, or the Knowledge of any Party’s officers, directors, stockholders, employees or agents or the acceptance by any Party of any certificate or opinion hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.6 hereof give rise to any obligation on the part of any Seller to indemnify a Buyer Party except to reimburse such Buyer Party for any Losses suffered by such Buyer Party as a result of a Third Party Claim arising from such breach.

12.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. Any person making a claim for indemnification under this Article XII (an “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (an ‘‘Indemnitor”) in writing of a third party claim

A-62

or the commencement of any action by any third party (a “Third Party Claim”), describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof; provided that no delay on the part of such Indemnitee in notifying the Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor is actually materially prejudiced by such delay. Upon receipt of such notice, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee and to settle or compromise such claim or action, so long as (i) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief or arise in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, (ii) an adverse judgment with respect to the Third Party Claim is not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to, or otherwise be detrimental to, the continuing business interests, reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnitee, (iii) the Indemnitee has not been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between Indemnitor and Indemnitee, (iv) the Indemnitee does not reasonably believe that the Loss relating to the Third Party Claim could exceed the maximum amount that such Indemnitee could then be entitled to recover from the Sellers or the Companies under the applicable provisions of this Article XII, and (v) the Indemnitor conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently; provided, that the Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim unless (i) written agreement is obtained expressly and unconditionally releasing the Indemnitee from all liability thereunder, and (ii) pursuant to or as a result of such judgment or settlement, no injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee; provided, further, that if the Indemnitee has elected to be represented by separate counsel pursuant to the proviso to the following sentence, such settlement or compromise shall be effected only with the consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. After notice to the Indemnitee of the Indemnitor’s election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under Section 12.4 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel, and the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitor, if either (A) such claim or action involves remedies other than monetary damages and such remedies, in the Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, could have a material adverse effect on such Indemnitee or (B) the Indemnitee may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more defenses or counterclaims which may be alleged by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty days of receipt of the Indemnitee’s notice of such Third Party Claim, or is not entitled to assume the defense under this Section 12.4, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Unless it has been conclusively determined through a final judicial determination (or settlement tantamount thereto) that the Indemnitor is not liable to the Indemnitee under Section 12.4, the Indemnitee shall act reasonably and in accordance with its good faith business judgment with respect to such defense, and shall not settle or compromise any such claim or action without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Parties agree to render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to insure the proper and adequate defense of any such Third Party Claim.

(b) Other Claims. Promptly after an Indemnitee incurs or sustains any Loss not involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall deliver notice of such Loss to the Indemnitor, specifying with reasonable detail the amount of such Loss, and a description in reasonable detail of the facts giving rise to such Loss to the extent then known to such Indemnitee; provided that no delay on the part of such Indemnitee in notifying the Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor is actually materially prejudiced by such delay.

(c) Sellers’ Representative Acts for the Sellers. Notices required to be given to any Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 12 may be given to, and actions, elections and consents permitted by this Section 12 to be taken, made, or given by any Seller Indemnified Party may be taken, made, or given by, the Sellers’ Representative.

12.5 Remedies Exclusive. The remedies provided for in Section 11 and this Section 12 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy among the parties hereto for any post-Closing claims made for breach of this

A-63

Agreement or any of the Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto or in any certificates or other instruments or documents furnished by any party pursuant to this Agreement, except in the case of fraud.

12.6 Manner of Payment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any indemnification of the Buyer Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the applicable Seller or Sellers, or the Buyer, as the case may be, to an account designated by the applicable Buyer Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the determination thereof. Any such indemnification payments shall include interest at the Interest Rate calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over three hundred sixty (360), from the date any such Loss is suffered or sustained to the date of payment. Buyer must recover any amounts owing to it pursuant to Section 11 or this Section 12 by first retaining an amount equal to what it is owed from the applicable Indemnity Holdback, and then, subject to Section 12.3(c), making a claim directly against the Sellers (as applicable). All indemnification payments shall be deemed adjustments to the Olinda Purchase Price or Providence Purchase Price, as applicable. Buyer shall release and pay to the Sellers’ Representative, for the benefit of the Sellers, any amounts not the subject of a dispute that remain in the applicable Indemnity Holdback within ten (10) Business Days following the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date. Any amounts that are the subject of a dispute will be retained by Buyer until such dispute is finally resolved and then Buyer shall either retain such funds or pay such funds to the Sellers’ Representative for the benefit of the Sellers in accordance with the resolution of such dispute.

In addition, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13.1(c), Section 13.1(d) or Section 13.1(e) , then the Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by Buyer (or its Affiliates) in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby (the ‘‘Buyer Expenses”), upon presentation of written evidence that the Buyer Expenses have been paid by the Buyer, with such reimbursement payable by wire transfer of same day funds to Buyer (or as directed by Buyer) within two (2) Business Days following the date of such termination.

(d) The Sellers acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 13.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Buyer would not enter into this Agreement. If Sellers or the Companies fail to pay the Termination Fee or the Buyer Expenses when due,

A-65

and, in order to obtain such payment Buyer (or its Affiliates) commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Sellers or the Companies for all or any portion of the Termination Fee or the Buyer Expenses, the Sellers shall pay to Buyer its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit.

(e) If this Agreement is terminated because the Buyer’s proposed lenders will not fund the amounts contemplated by the financing arrangements set forth in the debt financing commitments referred to in Section 8.11(c) and as of the date of such indication the Conditions to the Obligations of Buyer set forth in Section 10.1 which are capable of satisfaction as of such date have been satisfied, then Buyer shall reimburse the Sellers for fifty percent (50%) of the reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (i) which the Sellers (or any of them) have paid or are obligated to pay as of such termination date under the EPC Contracts, up to and including a maximum amount equal to Three Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($375,000), and (ii) which the Sellers (or any of them) have paid or are obligated to pay to RIRRC under the RIRRC Contract, up to and including a maximum amount equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000).

(f) The provisions of Section 14 shall survive any such termination.

14 Miscellaneous.

No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement prior to the Closing without first affording the non-disclosing Parties reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such press release or public announcement; provided that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable Law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its securities (in which case the disclosing Party shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the other Parties with reasonable opportunity to review in advance the disclosure).

(a) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any New York State or federal court.

(c) Each of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 14.8. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

14.11 Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14.11.

A-67

at any time prior to the Closing Date by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

14.13 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or any other Governmental Authority to be invalid or unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

14.15 Construction. Ambiguities or uncertainties in the wording of this Agreement shall not be construed for or against any Party, but shall be construed in the manner that most accurately reflects the Parties’ intent as of the date hereof. The Parties acknowledge that they have been represented by counsel in connection with the review and execution of this Agreement, and, accordingly, there shall be no presumption that this Agreement or any provision hereof be construed against the Party that drafted this Agreement.

14.16 Disclosure Schedules. The disclosure of any matter in any Section of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be a disclosure for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, to qualify, limit, or supplement other representations and warranties contained in this Agreement) to the extent the nature of the matter disclosed on such Disclosure Schedules is apparent on its face to be applicable to such other Section of the Disclosure Schedules. The fact that any item of information is included in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be construed as an admission of liability under any applicable Law, or that such item or information is required to be disclosed in or by this Agreement or is material for purposes of this Agreement, or that the existence of such matter would if not disclosed constitute a breach or violation of this Agreement. Such item or information shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the term “material,” “materially,” “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect,” or any similar qualification in this Agreement.

14.17 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Sellers agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement to be performed by them were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court provided for in Section 14.10 hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, without the necessity of proving actual damages or that no adequate remedy exists at law, and without the necessity of posting bond or other security. None of the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers or their Affiliates or any Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to specific performance against Buyer or any Buyer Party (including the Sponsors).

14.18 Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers, by adopting this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, hereby irrevocably appoint RRP as their agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of this Agreement, and consent to the taking by the Sellers’ Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by such representative under this Agreement. The Buyer shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Sellers’ Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller by the Sellers’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller by the Sellers’ Representative, as fully binding

A-68

upon such Seller shareholder. The power of attorney granted hereunder is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. All actions, decisions and instructions of the Sellers’ Representative shall be conclusive and binding and The Buyer shall be entitled to rely thereon without any investigation or inquiry. Any amounts received by the Sellers’ Representative after the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the benefit of the Providence Sellers, shall be distributed to the Providence Sellers in proportion to their respective percentage of outstanding membership interests of RILG set forth opposite such Providence Seller’s name on Annex 1 hereto.
