If CSOC or its Affiliates or Representatives are compelled to disclose any information referenced in this 0 by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, CSOC shall promptly notify CEN in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which CSOC is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that CSOC shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

Section 5.09 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no Party shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement, provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that CSOC may file a Form 8-K with the SEC regarding the Contemplated Transactions, and may attach this Agreement thereto.

Section 5.10 Tax Covenants and Agreements.

(a) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by CEN when due. CEN shall, at its expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and CSOC shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(b) CSOC shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by CEN after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by CSOC to CEN (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by CEN, supporting documentation) at least forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If CEN objects to any item on any such Tax Return, CEN shall, within ten (10) calendar days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify CSOC in writing that CEN so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, CSOC and CEN shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If CSOC and CEN are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) calendar days after receipt by CSOC of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm jointly selected by CSOC and CEN (the “Accounting Referee”) and any determination by the Accounting Referee shall be final. In the event that CSOC and CEN cannot agree on the identity of an Accounting Referee within ten (10) days of the commencement on such efforts to agree, each of CSOC and CEN shall select one party meeting the requirements of an “Accounting Referee” above, and those two parties shall jointly select the party who shall act as the Accounting Referee. The Accounting Referee shall resolve any disputed items within twenty (20) calendar days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by CSOC and then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by CSOC and CEN. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of CEN that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of CSOC.

Section 5.11 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. CEN and CSOC shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to Section 5.10 or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of CEN. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. CEN and CSOC shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of CEN for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other Party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of CEN for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, CEN or CSOC (as the case may be) shall provide the other Party with reasonable written notice and offer the other Party the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

Section 5.12 Further Assurances. Following the Effective Date and following the Closing, or until the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the Contemplated Transactions.

(h) by either CEN or CSOC if the Closing has not occurred by August 30, 2019, provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.03(h) shall not be available to (i) CEN if, as of such time, CSOC has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.03(c) or in the event that the failure of the Closing to so occur was caused by an CEN Default; or (ii) CSOC if, as of such time, CEN has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.03(d) or in the event that the failure of the Closing to so occur was caused by a CSOC Default.

(b) If this Agreement is validly terminated by CEN pursuant to Section 7.03(d), and only in that event, then, promptly but in any event within three Business Days following such termination by CEN, CSOC shall pay to CEN an amount in cash equal to CEN’s reasonable out of pocket costs incurred with respect to the Contemplated Transactions following the Effective Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by CSOC, subject to a maximum payment due hereunder of $150,000, and, if this Agreement is validly terminated by CEN pursuant to Section 7.03(d) as a result of a breach of the terms and conditions of Section 5.04, CSOC shall pay to CEN the additional sum of $50,000 in cash.

(c) Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.04 are an integral part of the Contemplated Transactions and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly if any Party fails to pay any amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.04 (the “First Party”), and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party (the “Second Party”) commences any action, arbitration, hearing, litigation or suit (whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or informal) that results in a judgment against the First Party for the amounts set forth in this Section 7.04, the First Party shall pay to the Second Party the Second Party’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such proceeding, together with interest on the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.04 from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on remedy stated in the first sentence of this Section 7.04(d) will apply only if CSOC elects to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.03(c) and CEN actually pays the termination costs stated in Section 7.04(a).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on remedy stated in the first sentence of this Section 7.04(e) will apply only if CEN elects to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.03(d) and CSOC actually pays the termination costs stated in Section 7.04(b).

(f) If the Closing does not occur for any reason other than for an CEN Default or a CSOC Default, the Parties acknowledge and agree that no Party shall owe to any other Party any payments for any expenses or Losses hereunder.

Section 7.05 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VII, this Agreement (other than this Article VII, Article VIII and Article IX) shall become void and of no further force or effect with no liability on the part of any Party; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 7.04(d) and Section 7.04(e), any such termination shall not relieve any Party from liability for actual damages to the other Parties resulting from a material breach of this Agreement by such Party.

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, if the Closing occurs, CSOC hereby agrees to indemnify CEN, the Shareholders (provided that, for purposes of this Article VIII, the term “Shareholders” shall include any additional Persons who, as of the applicable time, have become holders of CSOC Common Stock, including as result of the events set forth in Section 2.05) and such Parties’ respective Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “CEN Indemnitees”) against, and agrees to hold each of the CEN Indemnitees harmless from and against, and agrees to pay and reimburse each of the CEN Indemnitees for, any and all Losses (in each of the following cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees), incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the CEN Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

Section 8.04 Indemnification Procedures. The Party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the Party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.04(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.04(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.01) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending Party, management employees of the non-defending Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.04(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.04(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to CEN’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) calendar day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Cooperation. Upon a reasonable request made by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

Section 8.05 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its indemnification obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such agreement or adjudication.

Section 8.06 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) CEN shall not be liable to CSOC Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02 (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of CEN Surviving Representations (the “CSOC’s Basket Exclusions”)) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02 (other than those based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of CSOC’s Basket Exclusions) exceeds $10,000 (the “Basket”), in which event CEN shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Basket.

(b) CSOC shall not be liable to the CEN Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.03 (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of CSOC’s Surviving Representations (the “CEN Basket Exclusions”)) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.03(a) (other than those based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the CEN Basket Exclusions) exceeds the Basket, in which event CSOC shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Basket.

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the maximum liability of CEN, on the one hand, and CSOC, on the other hand, for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII shall be the sum of $1,000,000 (the “Cap”), and neither CSOC, on the one hand, nor CEN, on the other hand, shall have any liability to the other in excess of the Cap.

(d) All liabilities and obligations of CSOC that may arise under Section 8.03 (“CSOC Indemnification Liabilities”), if any, will be satisfied via the issuance by CSOC of shares of CSOC Common Stock to the Shareholders of a number of shares of CSOC Common Stock valued at the Assumed CSOC Common Stock Value, as is equal in value to the amount of the CSOC Indemnification Liabilities, to be allocated amongst the Shareholders pro rata according to the number of shares of CEN Stock held by each Shareholder as of the Effective Time. Such transfer, and assignment will be deemed in full payment and satisfaction of the CSOC Indemnification Liabilities with respect to which payment is being made.

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.08 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

Section 8.09 Exclusive Remedy. In the event that the Closing occurs, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to the Contemplated Transactions for any and all breaches or alleged breaches of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties hereto or any other provision of this Agreement or arising out of the Contemplated Transactions, except (i) with respect to any equitable remedy to which such Party may be entitled to with respect to any claims or causes of action arising from the breach of any covenants or agreement of a Party that is to be performed subsequent to the Closing Date, or (ii) with respect to a Party, an actual and intentional fraud with respect to this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereto, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and except as otherwise specified in this Article VIII, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any other Party hereto relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any other agreement, certificate or other document or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, arising under or based upon any applicable law.

Section 8.10 Limitation on Damages.

The CEN Disclosure Schedules and the CSOC Disclosure Schedules shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

Section 9.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision herein is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Contemplated Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

Section 9.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 9.09 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by CSOC, Merger Sub and CEN.

No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party to be charged with such waiver. No waiver by any Party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(b) The Party claiming a Dispute shall deliver to each of the other Parties a written notice (a “Notice of Dispute”) that will specify in reasonable detail the dispute that the claiming Party wishes to have resolved. In any such arbitration pursuant to this Section 9.10 CSOC shall have the power to act for and to bind Merger Sub. If CEN and CSOC are not able to resolve the dispute within five (5) Business Days of a Party’s receipt of an applicable Notice of Dispute, then such Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 9.10.

(c) Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. CEN and CSOC shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator, and the three arbitrators shall resolve the Dispute. The arbitrators will be instructed to prepare in writing as promptly as practicable, and provide to CSOC and CEN such arbitrators’ determination, including factual findings and the reasons on which the determination was based. The decision of the arbitrators will be final, binding and conclusive and will not be subject to review or appeal and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties. Each party shall initially pay its own costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, for counsel, experts and presentation of proof) in connection with any arbitration or other action or proceeding brought under this Section 9.10, and the fees of the arbitrators shall be share equally, provided, however, that the arbitrators shall have the power to award costs and expenses in a different proportion.

(d) The arbitration shall be conducted in Oakland County, Michigan.

Section 9.11 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 9.11(c).

The preceding sentence will not limit the right or ability of a Party seeking specific performance to recover damages, costs or expenses, under another provision of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document.

Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement.
