(i) Vendor shall promptly give Buyer written notice of the Casualty Loss Event or Taking and, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, such Casualty Loss Event or Taking will not, in and of itself, be deemed a breach of Vendor’s representations and warranties, covenants or other obligations under this Agreement absent some other breach of the representations and warranties, covenants or other obligations of Vendor under this Agreement.

- 79 -

(ii) Following the occurrence of (x) any one or more Casualty Loss Event, if the aggregate costs to restore, repair or replace the property or assets of the Conveyed Entities subject to such Casualty Loss Event to a condition reasonably comparable to their prior condition, such amount pursuant to this clause (x) to be determined by an independent third party appraiser or other qualified expert selected by Vendor and acceptable to Buyer, acting reasonably (the “Restoration Costs”), or (y) if the value of the property subject to such Taking, less any condemnation award (provided that any such condemnation award is made available to Buyer), such amount pursuant to this clause (y) to be determined by an independent third party appraiser or other qualified expert selected by Vendor and acceptable to Buyer, acting reasonably (collectively, the “Condemnation Value”), is, in the aggregate, less than or equal to 10% of the Base Purchase Price there shall be no effect on the Transactions (including for purposes of the Closing conditions (and, for greater certainty, such Casualty Loss Event and/or Taking shall not constitute a Material Adverse Effect for purposes of Section 9.1(g)) and the indemnification and termination provisions hereunder). In such event: (1) if the Casualty Loss Event or Taking is potentially covered by any of the Policies (or replacement policies) and such Restoration Costs or Condemnation Value exceed the applicable deductible under such Policy (or replacement policy), then Vendor shall, or shall cause the applicable Conveyed Entity or APC to, file and diligently pursue a claim with the applicable insurance carriers; and (2) except as set forth in the following sentence, at or prior to the Closing, Vendor shall pay or cause to be paid to the Conveyed Entities all sums received by Vendor or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Entities) as of the Closing from third parties in respect of such Casualty Loss Events or Takings, including but not limited to insurance proceeds and condemnation awards (other than proceeds of business interruption insurance in respect of periods prior to the Closing Date) (less any insurance deductible and any other costs and expenses incurred by Vendor or any other Excluded AltaGas Affiliate in order to obtain such sums), and shall assign, transfer and set over unto the Conveyed Entities all of the right, title and interest of Vendor and any of the Excluded AltaGas Affiliates in and to any unresolved claims against or unpaid proceeds or other payments from third parties in respect of such Casualty Loss Events or Takings, including but not limited to insurance proceeds and condemnation awards (other than proceeds of business interruption insurances in respect of periods prior to the Closing Date). Vendor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, or shall cause the applicable Conveyed Entity or APC to use its commercially reasonable efforts to, restore, repair or replace the assets or properties affected by a Casualty Loss Event or Taking to a condition reasonably comparable to their prior condition as soon as reasonably practicable after such Casualty Loss Event or Taking; provided that: (A) Vendor shall be entitled to use any insurance proceeds or any condemnation awards in connection with effecting such restoration, repair or replacement; (B) to the extent Vendor or its Affiliates pays for any such restorations, repairs or replacements that are not covered by insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, such amounts shall be deemed to be Unbudgeted Capital Expenditures; and (C) upon Closing, all such repair, restoration and replacement work shall be transitioned to Buyer and Vendor shall have no further obligation to restore, repair or replace the assets or properties affected by a Casualty Loss Event or Taking following such transition. Vendor shall, and shall cause the applicable Conveyed Entity or APC to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer in connection with any meetings, actions, discussions and proceedings with the RCA before and after the Closing in connection with recovering the costs relating to any Casualty Loss Events or Takings.

(iii) In the event that the aggregate Restoration Costs and Condemnation Value with respect to one or more Casualty Loss Events or Takings equals an amount in excess of 10% of the Base Purchase Price then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to Vendor; provided that any such notice must be given no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after the determination of the Restoration Costs or Condemnation Value by an independent third party appraiser or other qualified expert pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(ii) or the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement within the foregoing time period, then the Parties shall proceed with Closing notwithstanding any such Casualty Loss Event or Taking, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1 (provided that, for greater certainty, such Casualty Loss Event and/or Taking shall not constitute a Material Adverse Effect for purposes of Section 9.1(g)) and 9.2, and the rights to insurance proceeds or condemnation awards set out under Section 8.3(b)(ii) shall apply mutatis mutandis to such Casualty Loss Events or Takings.

- 80 -

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in respect of the Storage JV, Vendor shall not be obligated to cause the restoration, repairs or replacements set forth in this Section 8.3 except to the extent that Vendor or any of its Affiliates has the power and authority, pursuant to any Contract, to cause the occurrence of such restorations, repairs or replacements. All Restoration Costs and Condemnation Value with respect to the Storage JV shall be multiplied by the Storage JV Percentage for the purposes of this Section 8.3.

(d) For greater certainty: (i) the costs of an independent third party appraiser or other qualified expert selected pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(ii) shall be shared equally by Vendor and Buyer; and (ii) the amount of any insurance proceeds, condemnation award or other compensation received or receivable by Vendor or the Conveyed Entities in respect of the foregoing shall not be included for the purposes of calculating the Closing Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.8(e) hereof.

8.4 Covenant to Satisfy Closing Conditions.

8.7 Separation Matters.

(a) Transition Committee.

(i) As promptly as practicable after the Signing Date and to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, Vendor and Buyer shall establish a transition committee (the “Transition Committee”) consisting of three (3) representatives designated by each of Vendor and Buyer. The activities of the Transition Committee shall include, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, the development of and agreement on joint transition plans and key milestones in preparation for uninterrupted operation of the Business after the Closing Date and the effectiveness of the Transition Services Agreement, the facilitation of the transfer of information between the Parties, the facilitation of the joint planning and coordination of the Parties in connection with Business separation and stand-up activities and such other matters as the Transition Committee deems appropriate. At all times after the date of this Agreement until the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement as provided in Article 10), there shall be three (3) representatives of Buyer on the Transition Committee that shall be designated by Buyer as the primary contact person for Vendor at Buyer (the “Buyer Contacts”) and three (3) representatives of Vendor on the Transition Committee that shall be designated by Vendor as the primary contact person for Buyer at Vendor (the “Vendor Contacts”). The Buyer Contacts shall initially be the individuals set forth on Section 8.7 of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule (and may be changed from time to time by written notice from Buyer to Vendor) and the Vendor Contacts shall initially be the individuals set forth on Section 8.7 of the Vendor Disclosure Schedule (and may be changed from time to time by written notice from Vendor to Buyer). The Transition Committee shall: (i) meet on a regular basis (at least once per month) to facilitate the sharing of information concerning the Parties’ respective separation and transition plans (e.g., cutovers); (ii) determine (and Vendor shall provide) such information regarding the Vendor's and its Affiliates’ information technology and data systems as is reasonably required for Buyer's planning purposes; and (iii) establish a separation plan with milestones in order to assess the ability of the Business to operate without interruption after the Closing Date and, to the extent any currently provided and necessary functionality not included as a service under the Transition Services Agreement is not functionally established prior to Closing, coordinate its addition as an omitted service thereunder. The Transition Committee shall establish an organization structure to support Separation activities to be undertaken in connection with the Separation.

(ii) To the extent the Transition Committee hereunder or as established under the Transition Services Agreement identifies any Intellectual Property owned by Vendor or any other Excluded AltaGas Affiliate that is used in and necessary for the ongoing operation of the Business, Buyer may request that Vendor grant a license in such Intellectual Property effective upon Closing and Vendor shall, acting reasonably and in good faith, consider such request and, provided it agrees such Intellectual Property is required by Buyer or any of the Conveyed Entities for the ongoing operation of the Business, it shall procure, effective upon Closing, the grant by each of the applicable Excluded AltaGas Affiliates that owns such Intellectual Property a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, assignable, royalty-free license (with right to sublicense) in such Intellectual Property to the applicable Conveyed Entities that require such license.

- 86 -

(b) Separation Activities.

(i) Promptly after the Signing Date, Buyer shall begin planning and effectuating (itself or through third party contractors) the separation or removal of the Conveyed Entities and the Conveyed Entity Assets from Vendor's information technology network with the intention that as of the Closing Date the operation of the Conveyed Entities will not require connection to or resources of the information technology system resources currently provided by Vendor, except as agreed by the Parties to be made available under and included as a service under Schedule A of the Transition Services Agreement (hereafter such planning and effectuating, the “Separation”). Vendor shall promptly supply, in coordination with the Transition Committee, any relevant technical details reasonably requested by Buyer concerning the information technology systems and networks used by the Conveyed Entities (servers, user counts, licenses, etc.,) as may be reasonably necessary for Buyer’s negotiations for acquisitions of third party licenses and Separation. Subject to compliance with its contractual and information technology security compliance obligations, Vendor agrees to perform, or permit Buyer or its third party service provider to perform additional assessments as may be reasonably necessary in connection with planning and execution of the Separation; provided that, any such assessments by Buyer or its third party service provider shall be performed in accordance with the access requirements set out in Section 8.1(b); and provided further that, Buyer shall reimburse Vendor for all documented out-of-pocket costs of any such assessments undertaken by Vendor.

(ii) In connection with the Separation, Vendor shall, within sixty (60) days from the Signing Date, provide Buyer with a list of all Software (other than Software to be owned by or licensed to the Conveyed Entities after effectuation of the Specific Conveyances) used by the Conveyed Entities, including as applicable, all Vendor “enterprise” Software and all Software to be removed from information technology equipment pursuant to Section 11.9(c)(ii) absent acquisition by Buyer of a replacement license (the “Enterprise Software”). Subject to its contractual obligations under any Software licensees or other agreements, Vendor will identify for all Enterprise Software the vendor thereof, including details of Vendor's customer support contact for such vendor and, at Buyer’s cost, shall provide such reasonable information, support and assistance as reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with Buyer's acquisition of any replacement licenses for use of the Conveyed Entities. In the event Vendor’s contractual obligations do not permit identification of Enterprise Software vendors or the information reasonably required by Buyer to replace such Enterprise Software, Vendor shall procure such Enterprise Software at Buyer’s cost and on Buyer’s behalf subject to Buyer’s prior approval of any fees or costs to be incurred; provided that, to the extent Buyer does not approve of any such fees or costs to be incurred, Buyer shall have no further obligation to, and shall not, procure any such Enterprise Software.

- 87 -

(iii) After the Signing Date, except to the extent relating to a business function to be performed as a Service under the Transition Services Agreement, or otherwise agreed by the Parties to be executed by Buyer or its service providers, Vendor and Buyer shall, in coordination with the Transition Committee, use commercially reasonable efforts to execute or cause to be executed the Separation in order to minimize any interruptions to the operation of the Business after the Closing Date in accordance with the separation plan established by the Transition Committee and in compliance with all applicable Law and contractual requirements. In connection with implementation of the Separation, Vendor will provide to Buyer at its request, subject to appropriate Software licenses having been obtained, a restorable backup of the XX Xxxxxxx EnterpriseOne, human resource information systems and other similar systems which will be installed either to Buyer's or its third party contractor's own instances or on-premise data center capability at one or more of the Conveyed Entities (“Clones”), together with any Conveyed Entity financial and employee data relating to such systems.

(c) Transition Services Agreement. Promptly following the Signing Date, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith through the Transition Committee and agree upon the identity of the specific services and services descriptions required by Buyer. Final agreement on the identity and descriptions of the services in Schedule A of the Transition Services Agreement to be provided to Buyer shall be reached at least sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date. For greater certainty, if, by Closing, the Parties have been unable to identify the specific services required by Buyer, the Transition Services Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be executed by Buyer and Vendor at Closing and the “Services” (as such term is defined in the Transition Services Agreement) shall be deemed to be all services substantially consistent with the scope of services performed by the Vendor and its Affiliates in connection with the operation of the Business in the twelve (12) months prior to the Closing Date (and Schedule A of the Transition Services Agreement shall be populated by Vendor in a manner consistent with the foregoing), and, the operating costs of Vendor and its Affiliates in performing or providing such services shall be provided at a cost equal to Vendor’s and its Affiliates’ corporate allocations for such services, consistent with Vendor’s and its Affiliates’ past practice for corporate allocations for such services in the twelve (12) months prior to the Closing Date. For reference purposes only, the Parties acknowledge that the corporate allocations for Vendor and its Affiliates for all allocated services for the calendar year of 2021 were [*****].

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and the Parties shall not have any Liability to any other Party or their respective Affiliates, or their respective partners, directors, officers or employees, pursuant to this Agreement except for the obligations of the Parties contained in Section 8.1(c), this Section 10.2, Section 11.9(b), Section 11.10, Article 13 and any related definitional or interpretive provisions set forth in Article 1, each of which shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.2 shall relieve Vendor from Liability for any breach of this Agreement that arose prior to such termination.

(b) In the event this Agreement is validly terminated by:

(f) Tax Returns.

(i) Vendor shall timely prepare and file or prepare and deliver to Buyer for filing all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Conveyed Entities for Pre-Closing Periods and shall pay all Taxes with respect thereto. Each such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent, in all respects, with the prior practice of the Conveyed Entities (including prior Tax elections and accounting methods or conventions made or utilized by the Conveyed Entities), except as required by applicable Law or except as specifically provided herein. Vendor shall cause each of NewCo, SEMCO-CINGSA and NORSTAR to be included in (or to continue to be included in) the consolidated group that includes Vendor for U.S. federal and other applicable income Tax purposes at all times through and including the Closing Date.

Buyer’s failure to notify Vendor pursuant to this Section 11.3(g) will not affect Vendor’s obligation to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 11.3(a) except and only to the extent that Vendor was prejudiced as a result of such failure. Vendor shall notify Buyer in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt by Vendor or any of its Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened Tax Proceeding regarding the Conveyed Entities or the Conveyed Entity Assets.

- 108 -

The method for assuming such Assumed Benefit Plan Obligations referred to in the preceding sentence, and , the value of the assets, and the method for transferring same to NewCo and its Subsidiaries, shall be subject to mutual agreement by Vendor and Buyer through procedures established by the Transition Committee. The SEMCO Energy, Inc.

(g) Defined Benefit Pension Plans.

(i) Effective as of the day prior to the Closing Date, all Business Personnel then actively participating in the SEMCO Energy, Inc.

No later than thirty (30) days prior to the transfer of assets from the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan to the New Non-Union Pension Plan, Vendor and NewCo shall, to the extent necessary, file or cause to be filed an IRS Form 5310-A regarding the transfer of assets and liabilities provided below in this Section 11.4(g). As soon after the Closing Date as is reasonably practicable, and after the applicable 5310-A Form(s) have been timely filed with the IRS, (i) liabilities under the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan on behalf of NewCo Pension Participants as of the Closing Date will be assumed by the New Non-Union Pension Plan, and (ii) the portion of the assets held under the Trust between SEMCO Energy, Inc. and Comerica Bank, Trustee Under the Non-Union Employees’ Retirement Plan dated December 29, 2008 (the “SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan Trust”) covering the NewCo Pension Participants, in accordance with Code Section 414(l), Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1, and Section 208 of ERISA so that no participant’s or beneficiary’s accrued benefit on a plan termination basis under the New Non-Union Pension Plan immediately after the transfer will be less than the participant’s or beneficiary’s accrued benefit on a plan termination basis immediately prior to the transfer under the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan. The asset allocation for the transfer will be based on the priority categories for non-de minimis transfers under Section 4044 of ERISA, incorporating the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) actuarial assumptions for all accrued benefit calculation purposes, including mortality, interest, expected retirement assumptions (using the “XRA Table”) and expense loading (the methodology and assumptions contemplated by this sentence, the “Pension Transfer Assumptions”).

- 114 -

(iii) Prior to the Closing Date (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties), Vendor shall have caused an independent actuary, selected by SEMCO (the “SEMCO Actuary”) to determine the estimated value as of the Closing Date, of the assets to be transferred from the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan Trust to the trust for the New Non-Union Pension Plan (the “New Pension Trust”) in accordance with the Pension Transfer Assumptions (the “Estimated Pension Plan Transfer Amount”).

(iv) On or about the Closing Date (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties), Vendor and NewCo shall cooperate in good faith to cause an initial transfer of assets from the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan Trust to the New Pension Trust in an amount to be approximately 90% of the Estimated Pension Plan Transfer Amount (such amount, the “Initial Transfer Amount”). SEMCO shall satisfy its obligation pursuant to this Section 11.4(g)(iv) by causing the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan Trust to transfer assets equal to the Initial Transfer Amount to the New Pension Trust. Assets may be transferred in cash, cash equivalents or securities, or a combination of the foregoing or, if acceptable to Buyer (or, after Closing, to NewCo), in kind.

- 115 -

(v) Within 60 days (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties) following the Closing Date, Vendor shall cause the SEMCO Actuary to provide NewCo with a revised calculation of the value, as of the Closing Date, of the assets of the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan Trust to be transferred to the New Pension Trust determined in accordance with the Pension Transfer Assumptions (the “Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount”). NewCo may submit, at its sole cost and expense, the Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount to an independent actuary selected by NewCo (the “NewCo Actuary”) for verification; provided, that, such verification process and any calculation performed by the NewCo Actuary in connection therewith shall be performed solely on the basis of the Pension Transfer Assumptions. In order to perform such verification, upon request from NewCo, the SEMCO Actuary shall provide the NewCo Actuary with the data and additional detailed methodology used to calculate the Initial Transfer Amount and the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount. NewCo will be responsible for the cost and expenses of the NewCo Actuary and SEMCO will be responsible for the cost and expenses for the SEMCO Actuary. If the NewCo Actuary so determines that the value, as of the Closing Date of the assets to be transferred to the New Pension Trust differs from the Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount, the NewCo Actuary shall identify in writing to the SEMCO Actuary all objections to the SEMCO Actuary’s determination within 60 days following provision of the revised value calculation to SEMCO pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 11.4(g)(v), and the SEMCO Actuary and the NewCo Actuary shall use good faith efforts to reconcile any such difference. The Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount shall be deemed final if the NewCo Actuary does not submit written objections to the SEMCO Actuary within such 60 days period. If the NewCo Actuary and the SEMCO Actuary fail to reconcile such differences, the NewCo Actuary and the SEMCO Actuary shall jointly designate a third, independent actuary whose calculation of the value, as of the Closing Date, of the assets to be transferred to the New Pension Trust shall be final and binding; provided that such value must be between the value determined by the NewCo Actuary and the Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount or equal to either such value. Such calculation shall be performed within a reasonable period of time, but no more than 120 days following designation of such third actuary and in accordance with the Pension Transfer Assumptions. NewCo and SEMCO shall each pay one half of the costs incurred in connection with the retention of such independent actuary. The final, verified value, as of the Closing Date, of the assets to be transferred to the New Pension Trust as determined in accordance with this Section 11.4(g)(v) shall be referred to herein as the “Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount.”

(vi) Within 45 days (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties) following the determination of the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount, SEMCO shall cause the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan Trust to transfer to the New Pension Trust (the date of such transfer, the “Final Transfer Date”) the amounts in cash, cash equivalents, securities, a combination of the foregoing, or, if acceptable to NewCo, in kind, equal to (A) the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount minus (B) the Initial Transfer Amount (such difference, as adjusted to reflect earnings or losses as described in this Section 11.4(g)(vi), the “True-Up Amount”); provided, that, if the True-Up Amount is negative, SEMCO shall not be required to cause any such additional transfer and instead NewCo shall be required to cause a transfer of cash, cash equivalents or securities, a combination of the foregoing or, if acceptable to SEMCO, assets in kind, from the New Pension Trust to the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan Trust as required in an amount equal to the absolute value of the True-Up Amount. The True-Up Amount, if any, shall be adjusted to reflect fees or charges paid or incurred, and earnings or losses, during the period from the Closing Date to the Final Transfer Date. Such earnings or losses shall be determined based on the actual rates of return of the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan for the period commencing as of the Closing Date and ending as close as administratively practicable to the Final Transfer Date. If NewCo is obligated to cause the New Pension Trust to reimburse the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan pursuant to this Section 11.4(g)(vi), such reimbursements shall be performed in accordance with the same principles set forth herein with respect to the payment of the True-Up Amount.

No service or compensation earned by the ENSTAR Current 401(k) Participants on or after the Closing Date will be recognized for any purpose under such plan, and no employer contributions or employee deferrals on behalf of service and compensation earned by the ENSTAR Current 401(k) Participants on or after the Closing Date will be accepted by such plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer and its Subsidiaries (or NewCo and its Subsidiaries), will have established a U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan and trust (the “New 401(k) Plan”) to cover eligible Business Employees as of such date. As soon after the Closing Date as is reasonably practicable, Vendor shall cause the AltaGas 401(k) Plan to spin off to the New 401(k) Plan, the portion of the AltaGas 401(k) Plan attributable to the ENSTAR Current 401(k) Participants, such spin-off to include (but not be limited to) any and all of such individual’s accounts, related assets and liabilities, unvested amounts, and outstanding loan balances. All assets shall be transferred in cash as soon as administratively practicable thereafter and shall be mapped to appropriate investment options in the New 401(k) Plan pursuant to Section 404(c)(4) of ERISA or to the appropriate qualified default investment fund under the New 401(k) Plan pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of ERISA. Such spin-off shall be conducted in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1, and Section 208 of ERISA. The benefits of the ENSTAR Current 401(k) Participants participating in the AltaGas 401(k) Plan as of immediately prior to the plan merger described in this Section 11.4(h), shall be preserved in the New 401(k) Plan effective as of the plan merger described in this Section 11.4(h) to the extent required under the anti-cutback rules of Section 411(d)(6) of the Code.

As soon as is reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, at the same time as assets and liabilities under the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan are transferred to the New Non-Union Pension Plan, assets and liabilities in the 401(h) medical account under the SEMCO Non-Union Pension Plan allocated to non-union Business Personnel will be transferred to the Code Section 401(h) account on behalf of the non-union Business Personnel under the New Defined Benefit Pension Plan.

(j) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including NewCo and its Subsidiaries) to, provide any required notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as amended, and any similar state or local Law, and otherwise comply with such Laws with respect to the Business Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement shall create any right in any employee to continued employment by Vendor, NewCo, Buyer or any respective Subsidiary thereof, or preclude the ability of Vendor, NewCo, Buyer or any respective Subsidiary thereof to terminate the employment of any employee for any reason.

(k) Buyer shall maintain a corporate office in Alaska and intends to continue the charitable contribution practices of the Business and community support practices of the Business and continue to comply with all terms and conditions imposed on the Business under existing collective bargaining agreements set forth on Section 11.4(k) of the Vendor Disclosure Schedule for the duration of such agreements.

(l) Buyer and the Conveyed Entities shall assume and be liable for, under Buyer’s and such Conveyed Entity’s workers’ compensation programs, with respect to the Business Employees, all claims for benefits that are based upon injuries occurring (or allegedly occurring) at any time at or after the Effective Time. Vendor (or its Affiliate that employed the relevant Business Employee) shall be responsible for all Liabilities (including Liabilities for associated administrative functions) for workers’ compensation claims made for compensable injuries occurring before the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, Buyer and the Conveyed Entities shall be responsible for all Liabilities (including Liabilities for associated administrative functions) for all workers’ compensation claims made on or after the inception of employment of the Business Employee by Buyer, a Conveyed Entity or any of their respective Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 11.4(l), a workers’ compensation claim shall be “made” at the time of the occurrence of the event giving rise to eligibility for workers’ compensation benefits or at the time the occupational disease becomes manifest, as applicable, under the respective workers’ compensation act governing the alleged injury or disease.

Following the Closing, Vendor and its Affiliates shall provide no further services to the Conveyed Entities or in respect of the Conveyed Entity Assets, except as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement.

(n) This Section 11.4 shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of the Parties. Without limiting the generality of Section 13.4, nothing in this Section 11.4, express or implied, is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or Liabilities under this Agreement upon any Person (including any Business Employee) other than the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors. Nothing contained in this Section 11.4 shall be construed as an amendment or modification to any employee benefit plan program, arrangement or policy of Vendor, NewCo, TriSummit Utilities Inc., Buyer or any respective Subsidiary thereof. No Business Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.4 and this Section 11.4 shall not create such rights in any such Person.

11.5         Non-Solicitation.

(a) For a period of twenty four (24) months from the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries or acting jointly or in concert with any Person, solicit, make offers of employment, employ or otherwise contract for the services of any employee of Vendor; provided, however, that this Section 11.5(a) shall not apply to: (a) employees who respond to publicly advertised positions of employment, consultancy or contract with Buyer or its Affiliates; (b) any employee whose employment is terminated by Vendor or who seeks employment with Buyer or its Affiliates without direct or indirect solicitation by Buyer or any of its Affiliates; or (c) employees who contact Buyer or its Affiliates on his or her own initiative without any direct or indirect solicitation by or encouragement from Buyer or its Affiliates.

(b) If any provision contained in Section 11.5(a) shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of Section 11.5(a), but Section 11.5(a) shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is in the intention of the Parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein and subject to the same carve-outs) as shall be valid and enforceable under such Law. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at Law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of the provisions of Section 11.5(a) will be inadequate and, accordingly, Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) covenants and agrees that Vendor may, in addition to any other rights and remedies which such party may have at Law, be entitled to equitable relief, including preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, and the remedy of specific performance with respect to any breach or threatened breach of any such provision, as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction.

In addition to and in connection with the foregoing, Buyer agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless each present and former partner, director and officer of any Conveyed Entity (in each case, when acting in such capacity) against any and all Losses suffered or incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, to the fullest extent that the Conveyed Entities would have been permitted under applicable Law or their respective Organizational Documents to indemnify such director or officer.

- 120 -

(b) Buyer shall not permit any Conveyed Entity to amend, restate or repeal any Organizational Document of such Conveyed Entity within six (6) years after the Closing unless such Organizational Document (after giving effect to such amendment, restatement or repeal and applicable Law) would provide for such Conveyed Entity to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former partner, director and officer of such Conveyed Entity (in each case, when acting in such capacity), against any and all Losses suffered or incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters in connection with acting in such capacity, to at least the same extent that such indemnification would be provided for under applicable Law or its Organizational Documents.

(c) If Buyer or any Conveyed Entity (i) shall consolidate or amalgamate with or merge into any other corporation or entity whereby the continuing or surviving corporation or entity does not retain or assume by operation of law the obligations set forth in this Section 11.6, or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or such Conveyed Entity, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 11.6.

(d) Each of Vendor and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing, each of the present and former partners, directors and officers of any Conveyed Entity shall be an express third-party beneficiary of this Section 11.6.

11.7         Intercompany Payables, Intercompany Receivables and Intercompany Indebtedness

(a) Prior to the Closing, Vendor shall (and, if applicable, shall cause its Affiliates to) cancel and extinguish any and all Intercompany Payables and Intercompany Receivables in a manner that does not result in any Taxes or other Liabilities for any of the Conveyed Entities (including any Taxes of any consolidated group that includes any of the Conveyed Entities that are attributable to the Conveyed Entities) following the Closing.

(b) Concurrently with Closing, Vendor shall (and, if applicable, shall cause its Affiliates to) cancel and extinguish any and all Intercompany Indebtedness in a manner that does not result in any Taxes or other Liabilities any of the Conveyed Entities (including any Taxes of any consolidated group that includes any of the Conveyed Entities that are attributable to the Conveyed Entities) following the Closing.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Vendor shall (and, if applicable, shall cause its Affiliates to) pay and settle all Transaction Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any of the Conveyed Entities such that none of the Conveyed Entities will be liable for any Transaction Expenses as of Closing.

- 121 -

11.8         Cash Distributions.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Vendor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time prior to Closing, to cause each Conveyed Entity to transfer to Vendor or any other Excluded AltaGas Affiliate any cash and cash equivalents of such Conveyed Entity on hand or on deposit in any bank or brokerage account of such Conveyed Entity; provided that, as of the Closing, the Conveyed Entities shall have cash on hand or on deposit in an amount equal to at least $500,000, but excluding cash amounts relating to current and non-current restricted cash which may include customer deposits, tax credits, deferred compensation payments, escrow funds, or other types of deposits.

11.9         Intercompany Agreements and Shared Services.

(a) Except for the Intercompany Agreements set forth on Section 11.9 of the Vendor Disclosure Schedule, all rights and Liabilities of the Conveyed Entities, on the one hand, and the Excluded AltaGas Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the Intercompany Agreements will automatically terminate in their entirety effective as of the Closing without any further actions by the Parties and will thereby be deemed voided, cancelled and discharged in their entirety.

(b) Unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall operate as a grant or an agreement or grant any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property owned or licensed by Vendor or any of the other Excluded AltaGas Affiliates.

(c) Unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document:

(i) on or before the Closing Date, the Conveyed Entities and the Conveyed Entity Assets shall be removed from Vendor’s information technology network and from and after the Closing, Vendor and the other Excluded AltaGas Affiliates (and any of their service providers) shall cease to provide any information technology related hardware, Software and/or services or any access to Vendor’s information technology network;

(ii) from and after the Closing, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Conveyed Entities) shall have or retain any right whatsoever to the use, license, sublicense or lease of any Software (other than Software owned by or licensed to the Conveyed Entities, effective as of the Closing) installed on information technology equipment owned or used by the Conveyed Entities prior to the Closing, or previously licensed, sublicensed or otherwise provided to the Conveyed Entities by Vendor or another Excluded AltaGas Affiliate (other than access, use or possession pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement); and

- 122 -

(iii) unless otherwise removed in connection with the Separation prior to the Closing Date, within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall or shall cause any Software provided by Vendor or another Excluded AltaGas Affiliate (other than Software owned by or licensed to the Conveyed Entities or for which access, use or possession is made pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement) remaining on the information technology equipment of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, from and after Closing, the Conveyed Entities) to which it has ceased to have any rights pursuant to clause (ii) above, to be removed or deleted from such equipment.

11.10         Confidentiality and Public Announcements.

(a) The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time the confidentiality obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate. If, for any reason, the Transactions are not consummated, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any information made available to Buyer pursuant to Section 8.1 or otherwise by or on behalf of Vendor or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives prior to the Closing shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

- 123 -

(b) The Parties agree that each Party will concurrently issue a press release with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions promptly after the execution of this Agreement. No Party shall (and each Party shall cause its respective Affiliates not to) otherwise disclose the contents of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent a Party or any Sponsor (or their respective Affiliates) from disclosing such information: (i) to any Government Entity or to the public, but in either case, only if and to the extent that such disclosure is required under any applicable Law (including continuous and timely disclosure requirements under applicable securities Laws) or any stock exchange rule or policy to which such Party or its Affiliates are subject, or (ii) to any Government Entity or to a third party, but in either case, only if and to the extent that such disclosure is required in order to obtain any of the Regulatory Approvals, the Vendor Approvals or the Buyer Approvals, provided that, in each such instance, the Party that proposes to make such a disclosure (whether directly or through one or more of its Affiliates) shall advise the other Party of such proposed disclosure and such Party shall use its reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of any such information that is not required to be disclosed for the listed purposes. In the event that a Party (or its Affiliates) is required to disclose information in accordance with the procedures set out in this Section 11.10(b), the non-disclosing Party shall, to the extent practicable, be provided with reasonable time to review such disclosure, in its final form, prior to dissemination, and the suggested revisions proposed by the non-disclosing party and its professional advisors will be considered and accepted or rejected in good faith by the disclosing party and its professional advisors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Parties, the Sponsors and their respective applicable Affiliates may make any disclosures that are otherwise prohibited by this Section 11.10(b) so long as such statements and announcements are consistent with the most recent press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the Parties in accordance with this Section 11.10(b), (ii) Buyer, the Sponsors, Vendor, the Conveyed Entities and their respective Affiliates may disclose (x) such information relating to this Agreement and the Transactions to any applicable Government Entity that regulates such Person and (y) the subject matter of this Agreement and the financial return and other financial performance or statistical information in connection with the Debt Financing or, with respect to the Sponsors, the financing, fundraising, marketing, informational or reporting activities to or of its funds or affiliated investment vehicles and to the partners, members or other current or prospective investors therein (provided that such third parties are subject to customary confidentiality agreements and, provided further that, the disclosing Party shall be liable for breaches by any partners, members or other current or prospective investors or third parties of the confidentiality obligations contained in this Section 11.10(b)); (iii) the Sponsors and their respective Affiliates may disclose the subject matter of this Agreement, and other financial performance or information, to each Sponsor’s respective Representatives, members and clients as required in connection with annual reporting obligations and in connection with arranging financing and effecting the Closing and providing any informational or reporting activities to the Sponsor’s respective members and clients; provided however, Buyer shall be liable for breaches by any of Sponsor’s Representatives, members and clients of the confidentiality obligations contained in this Section 11.10(b); and (iv) Buyer Parent and its Affiliates may disclose in any offering memorandum, information circular, prospectus, take-over bid circular, business acquisition report, pricing supplement, press release or other document, the form and content of which are subject to or prescribed by applicable securities Laws (collectively, "Disclosure Documents"), the subject matter of this Agreement, and other financial performance or information of the Business and such historical financial and operational information for the Conveyed Entity Assets or the Business as may be required by applicable securities Laws to be included in any Disclosure Documents.

12.2         Indemnification by Vendor.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12.1 and 12.5, Vendor hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing, it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, without duplication, Buyer, its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Conveyed Entities) and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, trustees and employees and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, to the extent arising out of or in connection with:

(a) any breach by Vendor of any covenant or agreement made by Vendor in this Agreement; and

(b) the Indemnified Tax Liabilities.

- 125 -

12.3         Indemnification by Buyer.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12.1 and 12.5, Buyer hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing, it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of Vendor, its Affiliates (other than the Conveyed Entities) and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, trustees and employees and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such (the “Vendor Indemnified Parties” and, collectively with the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of the Vendor Indemnified Parties, to the extent arising out of or in connection with:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in Article 6 as of the Signing Date or the Closing Date;

12.5         Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

(i) no Buyer Indemnified Party or Vendor Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under any provision of this Agreement for any amount to the extent any Buyer Indemnified Party or Vendor Indemnified Party, as the case may be, has been reimbursed for such amount under any other provision of this Agreement (including by reason of such amount having been taken into account in the determination of the Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital, Closing CINGSA Budgeted Capex, Closing Incremental CINGSA Capex, Closing CINGSA Unbudgeted Capex, Closing ENSTAR Budgeted Capex, Closing Incremental ENSTAR Capex or Closing ENSTAR Unbudgeted Capex pursuant to Section 2.8);

- 126 -

(ii) if Closing occurs, (A) to the extent not arising out of or in connection with a breach of any representation or warranty made in Article 3, Article 4 or Article 6, in no event shall any Party be liable under this Article 12 for any exemplary, punitive, special, consequential or indirect damages, or damages measured by lost profits or diminution of value or any loss of goodwill or possible business after the Closing, whether actual or prospective, except to the extent any such damages (x) are included in any Third-Party Claim against an Indemnified Party for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or (y) other than exemplary, punitive, special, consequential or indirect damages, are the direct and reasonably foreseeable result of such breach or the matter giving rise to the applicable claim for indemnification under this Article 12, and (B) solely to the extent arising out of or in connection with a breach of any representation or warranty made in Article 3, Article 4 or Article 6, in no event shall any Party be liable under this Article 12 for any punitive damages other than penalties imposed by a Tax Authority;

(iii) Vendor shall not be liable for any Losses: (i) to the extent such Losses arise out of any voluntary act, omission, transaction or arrangement carried out by or on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates after the date hereof; or (ii) suffered or incurred by any Conveyed Entity or by Vendor, APC, or NewCo, as applicable (each in respect of the Conveyed Entity Assets) prior to the Closing Date to the extent arising out of or in connection with a matter that is resolved or cured prior to the Closing Date; and

(iv) the aggregate liability of Vendor to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses with respect to any breach by Vendor or its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Entities) or Representatives of Section 8.9 shall not exceed the out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in connection with undertaking the Debt Financing.

(b) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate his, her or its respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder. In the event an Indemnified Party fails to so use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate an indemnifiable Loss, the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for any portion of such Loss that reasonably would have been avoided had the Indemnified Party made such efforts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after an Indemnified Party acquires knowledge of any fact or circumstance that results in or would reasonably be expected to result in an indemnifiable Loss or a Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party may be required to indemnify such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party promptly; provided that failure to so provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations except, and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, the Indemnifying Party was prejudiced by such failure.

- 127 -

12.6         Third-Party Claim Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that any written claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party may have liability to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party (other than those relating to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 11.3) (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Third-Party Claim, notify the party or parties from whom indemnification is sought (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such Third-Party Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third-Party Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”). However, the failure to give prompt notice will not affect the rights or obligations of the Indemnifying Party except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, the Indemnifying Party was prejudiced by such failure. Subject to the consent rights of any R&W Insurer or other limitations in the R&W Insurance Policy, the Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) Business Days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceedings in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it will assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim.

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it will assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to reasonably participate in any such defense and to employ a single separate counsel of its choosing; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the counsel employed by the Indemnified Party if the joint representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by a single law firm with respect to such Third-Party Claim involved conflicts of interest and the Indemnified Party determines, based on the advice of outside counsel, that joint representation would be inappropriate. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim if such settlement: (i) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all Liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim; or (ii) would result in: (A) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; or (B) a finding or admission of a violation of Law, wrongdoing or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

- 128 -

(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to, or is deemed to elect not to, defend the Indemnified Party against a Third-Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its so intention to assume the defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume its own defense (and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable documented fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third-Party Claim, but not in duplication of any such amounts claimed by such Indemnified Party as Losses in connection therewith), it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third-Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party: (i) shall diligently defend such Third-Party Claim; and (ii) may not enter into a settlement thereof without obtaining approval of the Indemnifying Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless the Indemnified Party will not be seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party for any amounts paid pursuant to such settlement thereof or for any other consequences of such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12.6(e), the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third-Party Claim, including by providing reasonable access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents and employees.

(e) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law) and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work product privileges or protections. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 12.6 shall be construed as a waiver by an Indemnified Party or an Indemnifying Party of any privilege, including any privilege associated with separate counsel as described herein.

12.7         Payments.

The Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Article 12, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, promptly following receipt from an Indemnified Party of notice of a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder, together with all accompanying reasonably detailed back-up documentation, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes the Loss, in which event it shall so notify the Indemnified Party (provided, that, in the event of a good faith dispute with respect to a Loss, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay the portion of such Loss, if any, that is not subject to dispute). In any event, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Loss for which it is liable hereunder no later than thirty (30) days following any final determination of such Loss and the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefor. A “final determination” shall exist when: (a) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing; (b) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable order or judgment; or (c) an arbitration or like panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable determination with respect to disputes the parties to such dispute have agreed to submit thereto.

- 129 -

12.8         Adjustment to Purchase Price for Tax Purposes.

All payments made by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim pursuant to Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 hereof shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

12.9         Adjustments to Losses.

(a) In calculating the amount of any Loss, the proceeds received or reasonably expected to be received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Vendor Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person in respect of such Loss (net of any reasonable expenses and Taxes incurred in obtaining or receiving such proceeds) shall be deducted. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement. In the event that an Indemnified Party has any rights against a third party (other than any R&W Insurer) with respect to any occurrence, claim or Loss that results in a payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Article 12, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such rights to the extent of such payment; provided that, until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment of the Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third party on account of said indemnity payment are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Indemnified Party’s rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims.

(b) If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 12, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the amount, if any, by which (i) the sum of (A) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party in respect of such Loss plus (B) the amount received from the third party in respect thereof (net of any reasonable expenses and Taxes incurred in obtaining or receiving such amount) exceeds (ii) the full amount of the Indemnifying Party’s portion of such Loss.

- 130 -

12.10         Remedies; Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Except in the case of Fraud and as otherwise provided in Sections 2.8(f) and 13.9, and this Article 12 and any other Transaction Document, from and after the Closing: (i) the rights and remedies under this Article 12 are exclusive and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies that the Vendor Indemnified Parties may have against Buyer or the Buyer Indemnified Parties may have against Vendor with respect to the breach of any representation or warranty or any failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement; (ii) the remedies expressly provided in this Agreement shall constitute the sole and exclusive basis for and means of recourse between the Parties with respect to the Transactions; and (iii) each of Vendor and Buyer, respectively, from and after the Closing, expressly waives any and all other rights, remedies and causes of action it or its Affiliates may have against the other Party, now or in the future under any Law (including any right on the part of any Party to rescind this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or the Transactions) for any Losses relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, including with respect to the breach of any representation or warranty or any failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting Section 12.10(a), Buyer, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives (the “Covered Parties”) acknowledge and agree that:

(i) except in the case of Fraud, the Covered Parties’ sole source of indemnification and recovery for Losses based upon, arising out of, or otherwise in respect of the representations and warranties in Article 3 and Article 4, shall be the R&W Insurance Policy, and no Covered Party shall directly or indirectly otherwise pursue any right, claim or action for indemnification, contribution or recovery against Vendor in respect of such Losses; and

(ii) Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Covered Parties, further acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 12.10(b) shall apply regardless of whether:

(A) Buyer has obtained at Closing or has maintained following Closing the R&W Insurance Policy or has failed to obtain or failed to maintain a R&W Insurance Policy, or has determined that it will not obtain a R&W Insurance Policy prior to Closing or at any time;

(B) a R&W Insurance Policy is revoked, cancelled or modified in any manner after issuance; or

(C) any Covered Party makes a claim under the applicable R&W Insurance Policy and such claim is denied by the R&W Insurer.

- 131 -

12.11         Tax Indemnification.

To the extent that Vendor may be liable for indemnification for any Taxes under both Section 11.3 and this Article 12, Vendor shall only be liable under Section 11.3.

Buyer Parent may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, no merger or sale of securities of Buyer Parent or any entity that directly or indirectly Controls Buyer Parent shall constitute an assignment hereunder) without the prior written consent of Vendor, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld, and any attempted or purported assignment in violation of this Section 13.3 shall be null and void.

Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties hereto in accordance with this Agreement without notice or Liability to any other Person that is not a Party. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties.

Each of the Parties to this Agreement hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, partners, managers, members, officers, employees and Affiliates, (a) that Torys LLP has been retained by, and may serve as counsel to, each and any of Vendor and its Affiliates (other than the Conveyed Entities) (individually and collectively, the “Vendor Group”), on the one hand, and the Conveyed Entities, on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the Transactions, (b) that Torys LLP has not acted as counsel for any other Party hereto in connection with the Transactions and that none of the other Parties hereto has the status of a client of Torys LLP for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof, and (c) that, following consummation of the Transactions, Torys LLP (or any of its successors) may serve as counsel to the Vendor Group or any director, member, partner, manager, officer, employee or Affiliate of any member of the Vendor Group, in connection with any litigation, action, suit, claim, investigation, proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions.

Buyer, the Conveyed Entities and the Vendor Group hereby agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, and/or the Conveyed Entities on the one hand, and the Vendor Group or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, Torys LLP may represent the Vendor Group, and/or such Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of the Vendor Group, and/or such Affiliates may be directly adverse to Buyer or the Conveyed Entities, and even though Torys LLP may have represented the Conveyed Entities in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for Buyer or any of the Conveyed Entities. In addition, Buyer agrees that (x) all communications prior to the Effective Time among any member of the Vendor Group and the Conveyed Entities, any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or advisors, and Torys LLP that relate to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute arising in connection with, this Agreement, or otherwise relating to any potential sale of the Conveyed Entities or the Transactions (the “Protected Vendor Communications”), will be deemed to be privileged and confidential communications, (y) all rights to such Protected Vendor Communications, the expectation of client confidentiality, and the control of the confidentiality and privilege applicable thereto, belong to and will be retained by the Vendor Group, and (z) to the extent Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Conveyed Entities after the Closing) should discover in its possession after the Closing any Protected Vendor Communications, it will take reasonable steps to preserve the confidentiality thereof and promptly deliver the same to Vendor, keeping no copies, and will not by reason thereof assert any loss of confidentiality or privilege protection. As to any such Protected Vendor Communications, Buyer and each of the Conveyed Entities together with any of their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns, further agree that none of the foregoing may use or rely on any of the Protected Vendor Communications in any action against or involving any of the Vendor Group or Torys LLP after the Closing. The Protected Vendor Communications may be used by the Vendor Group and/or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with any dispute that relates in any way to this Agreement or the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Buyer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Vendor Group, on the other hand, the Buyer and its Affiliates shall assert the attorney-client privilege with respect to Protected Vendor Communications to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party.

13.17         Buyer Parent

Buyer Parent hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and complete performance by Buyer of its payment and other obligations under this Agreement (the “Buyer Guaranteed Obligations”). This is a guarantee of payment (not of collection) and performance. Vendor shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Buyer Guaranteed Obligations in the event that Buyer becomes subject to bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceedings, and the failure of Vendor to so file shall not affect Buyer Parent’s obligations hereunder.
