From and after the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to eliminate or reduce insurance coverage available to the Transferred Assets, the Owned Real Property, or in connection with the Walsh Asbestosis Claim with respect to actual or alleged occurrences occurring prior to the Closing relating to the Transferred Assets, the Owned Real Property, or the Walsh Asbestosis Claim or with respect to any claims reported prior to the Closing relating to the Transferred Assets, the Owned Real Property, or the Walsh Asbestosis Claim (including but not limited to all claims listed on Section 3.16 of the Disclosure Letter), respectively, under all occurrence-based and claims made insurance policies maintained at any time prior to Closing by Seller with respect to the Transferred Assets or the Walsh Asbestosis Claim (the “Insurance Policies”) other than the reduction of policy limits due to claims paid, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit any insurers under the Insurance Policies to make any insurance coverage under the Insurance Policies available to Buyer for insurance claims arising out of any actual or alleged occurrences occurring or claims reported prior to the Closing relating to the Transferred Assets, the Owned Real Property, or the Walsh Asbestosis Claim; provided, that Buyer shall be solely responsible for any applicable deductibles, retentions and claim handling fees for such insurance claims for the Transferred Assets, the Owned Real Property, or the Walsh Asbestosis Claim pursuant to this Section 6.11. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.11, following the Closing Date, Buyer may provide notice of any such insurance claim to Seller, and Seller shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to), at Buyer’s sole cost and expense (i) take action as requested by Buyer to procure recovery for such insurance claim and (ii) reasonably cooperate with and assist Buyer in issuing notices of such insurance claims with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Owned Real Property, and the Walsh Asbestosis Claim under the Insurance Policies, presenting such insurance claims for payment and collecting insurance proceeds under the Insurance Policies.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.11, Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.11 with respect to the Insurance Policies relating to the Owned Real Property shall include actual or alleged occurrences occurring and any claims reported before or after the Closing through and including the expiration of such Insurance Policies on August 31, 2022.

Except as specifically set forth in Section 5.2, Section 10.3, Section 10.11, and Section 10.20, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (including Business Employees) other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.9 Governing Law. Except to the extent of the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, this Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (in contract or tort) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the Laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of laws principles of the State of Delaware.

Section 10.10 Submission to Jurisdiction. Without limitation of any Party’s right to appeal any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (x) the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the transactions contemplated hereby and (y) any and all claims relating to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court, and the Parties hereby consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Action or proceeding; provided, however, that, if the Chapter 11 Case is closed or declines jurisdiction, each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any Action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by another Party or its successors or assigns shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or if jurisdiction is not available in the Court of Chancery, then in the United States

Each of the Parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient, without limiting any other manner of service permitted by Law. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware, and of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 10.12 Assignment; Successors. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by either AFI Entity without the prior written consent of each Buyer, and by any Buyer without the prior written consent of Parent (on behalf of itself and Seller), and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the terms of Section 2.8, each Buyer may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without obtaining the prior written consent of Parent; provided that in connection with such assignment, such assignment shall not relieve such Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement (or otherwise). Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 10.13 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by such Party and that any such breach would cause Buyers, on the one hand, and the AFI Entities, on the other hand, irreparable harm. Accordingly, each Party hereto also agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by such Party, Buyers, on the one hand, and the AFI Entities, on the other hand, shall be entitled to equitable relief without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, including in the form of injunctions and orders for specific performance. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The AFI Entities, on the one hand, and Buyers, on the other hand, hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by AFI Entities or Buyers, as applicable, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the AFI Entities or Buyers, as applicable, under this Agreement.
