Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other writing to the contrary, Buyer is not assuming any of the following liabilities or obligations of Seller, which shall be retained by and remain liabilities and obligations of Seller (all such liabilities and obligations not being assumed being herein referred to as the “Excluded Liabilities”):
(a) those incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby;

(b) The Parties shall allocate the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities, as of the Closing, among the classes of assets (as described in the Treasury regulations promulgated under section 338 of the Code) to which the Purchased Assets and the other Transaction Agreements relate (the “Allocation”) in accordance with section 1060 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (or any similar provision of local or state Tax Law), Seller shall prepare and submit a proposed Allocation to Buyer not later than twenty (20) days prior to Closing for Buyer’s review and approval and Buyer shall formally respond to such proposed Allocation no later than ten (10) days from receipt thereof.

19


 

(c) [reserved].
(d) Between the Execution Date and the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable after the end of each calendar month Seller shall provide Buyer with a report of all costs, including interest and corporate overhead, incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in such preceding calendar month (including, with respect to the first such report, incurred in February 2011) in connection with construction of the Generating Facility.
(e) Transmission Uprate.
(i) Subject to clause (iii) below, from and after the Closing Date until the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, or such later time as may be requested by Buyer and approved by Seller, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, Seller may at its own cost and expense install such additional equipment or engage in other activities (collectively, the “Uprate Remedies”) at the Generating Facility as needed to achieve transmission export capacity in excess of 685 MW (“Additional Capacity”), and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, provide access to the Generating Facility and assist Seller and/or its contractors in connection therewith, and the parties shall reasonably cooperate to (A) avoid or mitigate any Uprate Remedy that would materially interfere with the continuous operation of the Generating Facility, cause the imposition of any material increase in its operating costs over what otherwise would be expected or materially increase exposure to material PJM Reliability Pricing Model penalties and (B) agree on reasonable outage opportunities with respect to the Uprate Remedies.
(ii) If (A) prior to the forty-two (42) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the relevant transmission authorities grant permission to export Additional Capacity; and (B) the Generating Facility is or becomes, prior to the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, or such later time as may be requested by Buyer and approved by Seller, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, mechanically capable of sustained production of, and has the mechanical ability to export, Additional Capacity then Buyer shall pay to Seller, within thirty (30) days of the later to occur of (A) or (B) above, an additional $708,029.00 per MW of Additional Capacity (or pro rata portion thereof rounded to the nearest tenth of a MW) up to 707 permitted MW, all as additional Purchase Price.

 

20


 

(iii) Buyer shall be entitled to reject a Seller proposed Uprate Remedy if Buyer in good faith reasonably believes that such actions would cause material damage to the Generating Facility, materially increase its operating costs over what otherwise would be expected or require material capital expenditures by Buyer. But if prior to the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer implements a Seller-proposed Uprate Remedy which Buyer rejected or takes actions substantially similar to those in a Seller-proposed Uprate Remedy which Buyer rejected, and the Generating Facility, as a result, actually exports generation transmission in excess of 685 MW, then Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller an additional $708,029.00 per MW of Additional Capacity (or pro rata portion thereof rounded to the nearest tenth of a MW) up to 707 permitted MW, less any reasonable documented costs incurred by Buyer to implement the Seller proposed Uprate Remedy to create the Additional Capacity, all as additional Purchase Price.
(f) Low Production.
(i) Both Parties expect that the Generating Facility will, at Closing, meet the conditions set forth in Section 9.02(d)(ii) (the “Expected Criteria”, and failure of the Generating Facility to reach the Expected Criteria within a reasonable time (not to exceed 90 days, and with Buyer to provide Seller with notice thereof within 120 days) following commissioning of the Generating Facility (which commissioning Buyer shall promptly inform Seller of in writing), but not including a de minimis failure to meet the specified heat rate value, being a “Criteria Failure”).
(ii) Should a Criteria Failure be determined (pursuant to clause (viii) below) to have occurred solely through the fault of actions taken by Seller or its Affiliates (or Persons acting under their direction) prior to the Closing, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, choose to (A) cure the Criteria Failure at its own expense (and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, provide access to the Generating Facility and assist Seller and/or its contractors in connection therewith) or (B) promptly pay to Buyer $708,029.00 for each MW (or pro rata portion thereof rounded to the nearest tenth of a MW) below the Expected Criteria that the Generating Facility is capable of sustained production.

 

21


 

(iii) Should a Criteria Failure be determined (pursuant to clause (viii) below) to have occurred solely through the fault of actions taken after the Closing, Seller shall owe no amounts pursuant to this Section 2.06(f).
(iv) Should a Criteria Failure be determined (pursuant to clause (viii) below) to have occurred both through the fault of (X) actions taken by Seller or its Affiliates (or Persons acting under their direction) prior to the Closing and (Y) actions occurring after the Closing, but where the actions taken by Seller or its Affiliates (or Persons acting under their direction) prior to the Closing caused a portion of the Criteria Failure (the percentage of the cause of the Criteria Failure caused by actions taken by Seller or its Affiliates (or Persons acting under their direction) prior to the Closing being the “Seller Percentage”), then either (A) the Parties shall agree to cure the Criteria Failure with Seller paying the Seller Percentage of the cost of such cure and Buyer paying the remaining cost of such cure (and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, provide access to the Generating Facility and assist Seller and/or its contractors in connection therewith) or (B) if the Parties do not so agree, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer $708,029.00 times the Seller Percentage for each MW (or pro rata portion thereof rounded to the nearest tenth of a MW) below the Expected Criteria that the Generating Facility is capable of sustained production.
(v) Should a Criteria Failure be determined (pursuant to clause (viii) below) to have occurred because of a defect that occurred through neither the fault of actions taken by Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing or the fault of actions taken after the Closing, then either (A) the Parties shall agree to cure the Criteria Failure with Seller paying 50% of the cost of such cure and Buyer paying 50% of the cost of such cure (and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, provide access to the Generating Facility and assist Seller and/or its contractors in connection therewith) or (B) if the Parties do not so agree, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer $354,014.50 for each MW (or pro rata portion thereof rounded to the nearest tenth of a MW) below the Expected Criteria that the Generating Facility is capable of sustained production.

 

22


 

(vi) The maximum liability of Seller pursuant to Section 2.06(f)(ii) or (iv) is $72,750,000.00 in the aggregate, and the maximum liability of Seller pursuant to Section 2.06(f)(v) is $36,375,000.00 in the aggregate.
(vii) Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Section 2.06(f), Seller shall retain full rights to perform an Uprate Remedy as set forth in Section 2.06(e) above.
(viii) Should the Parties be unable to determine which of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above shall apply, the Parties shall reasonably jointly select an independent engineer or engineering firm of favorable reputation, that has not worked for either Party or their Affiliates for a period of one (1) year prior to such dispute (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to select such engineer or firm prior to the Closing), to investigate and provide a report containing findings and a recommendation regarding whether clauses (ii), (iii), or (iv) above shall apply. The independent engineer shall issue a draft report and the Parties shall have not less than thirty (30) days to provide comments on the same. After consideration of the comments, the independent engineer shall issue a final report. The costs of the independent engineer shall be shared equally by the Parties and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the independent engineer’s final report shall be binding upon the Parties.
Section 2.07 Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets, and the assignment and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities hereunder, shall take place at the offices of Chester Willcox & Saxbe, LLP, 65 East State Street, Suite 1000, Columbus, Ohio 43215, on the later of (i) July 1, 2011 (unless extended to July 15, 2011 or on or before September 30, 2011 pursuant to Section 11.01(b)) or (ii) no more than three (3) Business Days after satisfaction of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 9 (or waiver by the Party for whose benefit such conditions exist) other than any conditions that are by their nature to be satisfied at Closing (but subject to the satisfaction or waiver or such conditions), or at such other time or place as Buyer and Seller may agree.

(a) Between the Execution Date and the Closing Date, Seller will:
(i) make available to Buyer and its agents reasonable access to the Generating Facility, employees and contractors as well as all documents reasonably requested by Buyer regarding the Generating Facility design, construction, procurement, testing, environmental compliance and expected operations (and, without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall provide Buyer and its agents with access to Seller’s software and communications platform in connection with the Generating Facility);

(iii) make available to Buyer (if reasonably within Seller’s control) reasonable access to counterparties to the Assigned Contracts and Assumed Liabilities.
Any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the ownership and operation (including development and construction) of the Generating Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not have access to (i) personnel records of Seller or any of its Affiliates relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information which in Seller’s good faith opinion is sensitive or the disclosure of which could subject Seller or such Affiliate to risk of liability, (ii) any information which is subject of any attorney-client or other privilege in favor of Seller or any confidentiality obligation by which Seller is bound or (iii) any information the provision of which Seller in good faith believes may cause Seller to violate applicable Law.

Buyer will hold, and will cause its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to hold, in confidence, unless Buyer is compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or obligated to disclose by other requirements of Law, all confidential documents and information concerning Seller or the Purchased Assets reasonably deemed as such by Seller and provided to Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.02(b). Buyer shall bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (but excluding Seller’s general overhead, salaries and employee benefits) reasonably incurred by Seller in providing such access.

 

32


 

(c) Seller shall, by the Closing Date, provide to Buyer such reasonably available documents as Buyer reasonably requests at least ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing Date regarding the Generating Facility design, construction, procurement, testing and operations, including testing related to the capacity of the Generating Facility, which are in possession of Seller and which are included as part of the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 2.01(i).

At any time and from time to time after the Closing, Seller shall, at the request of Buyer, use all commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance, sale, transfer and assignment, and take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and consummate any of the Transactions contemplated hereby or in connection with the other Transaction Agreements.
Section 5.04 Emissions Allowances. From and after the Closing until the fifth (5th) anniversary thereof, if Seller plans to offer Emissions Allowances for sale on the open market to third parties and if requested by Buyer, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with a right of first offer (at market prices) to purchase such Emission Allowances as are necessary to cover all operations of the Generating Facility; provided that Buyer shall be entitled to up to five (5) one-year extensions of such period if reasonably necessary for Buyer’s operations (and Buyer shall provide Seller with written notice of its exercise of any such extension no less than 30 days prior to the end of any year).
Section 5.05 Exclusivity. During the period commencing on the Execution Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) the date this Agreement is terminated as provided in ARTICLE 11, Seller will not, nor will it permit any of its Affiliates or anyone acting behalf of any of them to, solicit or enter into any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish or cause to be furnished any information concerning the Purchased Assets to, any Person (other than Buyer or its representatives) in connection with an acquisition of the Purchased Assets, directly or indirectly whether by merger, purchase of equity interests, sale of assets or any other means, other than extraordinary transactions (including a merger or sale of sale of all or substantially all of the assets) involving Seller or its Affiliates, or the sale or transfer of securities of Seller or its Affiliates; provided that under no circumstances shall Seller be released or discharged from its obligations under this Agreement in connection with any such transaction.

Covenants of Buyer
Section 6.01 Access. After the Closing Date, Buyer will promptly afford Seller and its agents reasonable access to its properties, books, records, and employees to the extent necessary to permit Seller to determine any matter relating to any period ending on or before the Closing Date (for example, for purposes of any tax or accounting audit or any claim or litigation matter not being actively litigated between Buyer and Seller); provided that any such access by Seller shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of Buyer. Seller will hold, and will cause its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to hold, in confidence, unless Seller is compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or obligated to disclose by other requirements of Law, all confidential documents and information concerning Buyer or the Purchased Assets reasonably deemed as such by Buyer and provided to Seller pursuant to this Section 6.01. Seller shall bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer (but excluding Buyer’s general overhead, salaries and employee benefits) in providing such access.
Section 6.02 Transition Proceedings. Upon completion of good faith discussions between the Parties that address the various related issues in a mutually satisfactory manner, Buyer covenants and agrees with Seller that it will (i) withdraw its opposition to (but may remain in support of) proceedings related to Seller’s and its Affiliates’ transition from the MISO to PJM (including with respect to dockets ER09-1589, EL10-6, ER11-2814 and ER11-2815) (the “Transition Proceedings”) as soon as practicable after the Closing and further agrees not to intervene, except in support, in any new proceedings similar to the Transition Proceeding and (ii) release any claims against Seller or its Affiliates related to the Transition Proceedings; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any proceeding after the Closing related to rates and charges in Seller’s or its Affiliates’ territory.

Section 7.04 Supplements to Seller Disclosure Schedule. Seller may, from time to time prior to the Closing by written notice to Buyer supplement the Seller Disclosure Schedule or add a schedule or section to the Seller Disclosure Schedule with a corresponding reference to be added in this Agreement (such added Schedule to be deemed a supplement hereunder) to disclose any matter which, if occurring prior to the date hereof, would have been required to be set forth or described on the Seller Disclosure Schedule or to correct any inaccuracy or breach in the warranties made by Seller in this Agreement (whether or not the matter occurred prior to, on or after the date hereof). None of such supplements of the Seller Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to cure the representations or warranties to which such matters relate with respect to rights to indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE 10 or conditions set forth in ARTICLE 9, or otherwise affect any other term or condition contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that unless Buyer shall have delivered a notice of breach pursuant to Section 11.01(d) (to the extent Buyer is entitled to deliver such notice pursuant to such Section) within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by Buyer of any supplement to the Seller Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 7.04 (together with disclosure to Buyer of information reasonably requested by Buyer to enable Buyer to understand, and evaluate the effects of, such supplement), then Buyer shall have waived any and all rights to terminate this Agreement, pursuant to ARTICLE 11 or otherwise, or to consider any condition to Closing not to be satisfied, arising out of or relating to the contents of such supplement.
Section 7.05 Antitrust Clearance(a). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement:
(a) Each of Seller and Buyer shall take all actions necessary to prepare and to make any required filings for the Antitrust Clearance (if applicable) without undue delay after the Execution Date (to the extent not already made as of the date of this Agreement) and to furnish all information required in connection therewith. The Parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to any antitrust filing in connection with the Antitrust Clearance and any other antitrust filing in connection with the Transaction contemplated under this Agreement in providing all reasonably required information concerning the Purchased Assets and to assist in such filings, and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Antitrust Clearance as promptly as practicable.

The Parties shall give due consideration to any comments of each other in relation to any such draft notification, submission or communication. The Parties agree to keep each other fully informed as to the progress of any notification made in order to obtain the Antitrust Clearance. Each Party and its external counsel shall be entitled to attend all meetings with any antitrust authority or other persons or bodies (unless prohibited by the authority or other person or unless it is otherwise not practical), except for the respective parts of meetings in which a Party’s confidential business information will be disclosed, in which case external counsel for the other Party, but not the Party itself, shall be entitled to attend.
Section 7.06 Approvals. Other than with respect to matters covered by Section 7.05 of this Agreement, each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain all authorizations, consents, actions, orders, and approvals of, and to give all notices to and make all filings with, all Governmental Bodies and third parties that are, may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, and will cooperate fully with the other Party in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, actions, orders and responding to requests for any additional information from Governmental Bodies, approvals, giving such notices, making such filings and contesting or opposing any legal challenges or objections to such filings.

(a) any notice or other communication received from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions;
(b) any notice or other communication received from any Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions;
(c) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced relating to the Purchased Assets of which it receives notice and which, in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or Materially delay the Transactions; and
(d) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would cause or result in any of the conditions set forth in Article IX not being satisfied by the relevant expiration date set forth in Section 11.01(b); provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.07(d) shall not (x) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (y) limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice.
Section 7.08 Certain Employee Matters.
(a) This transaction involves the sale of assets only and does not involve the transfer of any Employees from Seller to any operation of Buyer or its Affiliates and thus nothing herein shall be construed as obligating Buyer to offer employment to or hire any of the Seller’s Employees.
(b) At any time prior to or after the Closing (but if prior to the Closing, contingent upon the Closing), Buyer may offer employment, in its sole discretion and in accordance with its particular staffing needs, to any Employees, including CBA Employees subject to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, other than the Employee set forth on Section 7.08 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.
(c) If Buyer or its Affiliates hire any such CBA Employees, Buyer shall, but only if and then to the extent required by Law, (i) become a successor employer under the Collective Bargaining Agreement and (ii) assume its terms and conditions as required by the Collective Bargaining Agreement, provided that Seller shall remain responsible, as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, for any liabilities related to such CBA Employees which were owed or accrued through but not including the Closing Date.

 

38


 

(d) Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall take any action (including with respect to the CBA Employees) which Buyer reasonably believes is likely to have the effect of (or that does have the effect of) causing Seller or its Affiliates to suffer liabilities or Damages (excluding, for purposes of this subparagraph only, attorneys fees) (i) for obligations arising after the Closing under or pursuant to the Collective Bargaining Agreement or applicable Law related thereto or (ii) because of any offers of employment or similar status to any CBA Employees before or after the Closing or (iii) any binding findings (by settlement or otherwise) that any actions of Buyer or its Affiliates, before or after the Closing, resulted in a breach of the Collective Bargaining Agreement or applicable Law by Buyer, Seller or their respective Affiliates.
(e) In the event Seller becomes a party to an unfair labor practice charge, an arbitration or other proceeding which relates in any way to the rights of CBA Employees under the Collective Bargaining Agreement arising out of the Transaction, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of any such proceeding and consult with Buyer regarding the same. Seller shall be precluded, without Buyer’s specific consent, from resolving any such proceeding in a manner that would be deemed binding upon Buyer or that would be reasonably likely to cause liabilities or obligations to Buyer.
(f) Should any Other Employee wish to accept an offer of employment extended by Buyer, the Other Employee must voluntarily sever his/her employment relationship with Seller before commencing employment with Buyer. Should that occur, Seller will be responsible for any obligation owed to the Other Employee pursuant to the terms of Seller’s plans and agreements, including any of Seller’s benefit plans.
(g) Buyer may not offer employment to the Employee set forth on Section 7.08 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, and, for a period ending two (2) years after the Closing Date, neither Buyer not any of its Affiliates shall hire, induce, solicit or encourage, or attempt to induce, solicit or encourage, whether directly or indirectly, the Employee set forth on Section 7.08 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule; provided that a general advertisement or other disclosure of a general search that is not targeted or directed to such individual will not violate the covenants contained in this Section 7.08(g).

Buyer shall assume and be responsible for all obligations, liabilities and commitments with respect to employment, employee benefits, and related matters with respect to all Other Employees hired by Buyer that are accrued and owing from and after the Closing Date.
Section 7.09 Confidentiality. Seller acknowledges that information concerning the Purchased Assets has competitive value to Buyer, and Seller agrees that after the Closing, all information that prior to Closing would have been “Confidential Information” under the Confidentiality Agreement shall become confidential information of Buyer (“Confidential Information”), and Seller and each of Seller’s Affiliates shall maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement as if it were the party to whom the Confidential Information was disclosed under the Confidentiality Agreement.
Section 7.10 Transfer of Capacity Rights.
(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that Seller has certain capacity supply obligations in connection with Seller’s offering of the Generating Facility capacity into certain capacity procurement auctions. Specifically, Seller offered capacity associated with the Generating Facility into the ATSI FRR Program for the 2012-13 Delivery Year and Seller’s offer was accepted in the amount of 653 MW. Moreover, Seller offered capacity associated with the Generating Facility into PJM’s Reliability Pricing Model Base Residual Auction (“RPM Auction”) for the 2013-14 Delivery Year and Seller’s offer was accepted in the amount of 653MW. Moreover, Seller will offer capacity associated with the Generating Facility into PJM’s RPM Auction for the 2014-15 Delivery Year (scheduled to take place in May, 2011) and some or all of Seller’s offer may be accepted, and Seller will reasonably consult with Buyer in connection therewith, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

 

40


 

(b) Seller will at Closing transfer and assign its capacity supply obligations and its rights to payment in satisfaction of contract capacity obligations associated with the Generating Facility in the capacity amounts for each of the respective Delivery Years described in subparagraph (a) of this section (“Contract Capacity”) and Buyer hereby unconditionally accepts and assumes each and all of Seller’s obligations to supply the Contract Capacity for each and all such Delivery Years in accordance with the ATSI FRR Program and Capacity Purchase and Sale Agreement, and the PJM RPM Auction requirements, as applicable. Buyer will satisfy its obligations by following the processes and procedures described Attachment DD of PJM’s Tariff, and in Article 2 of the ATSI Utilities FRR Program Capacity Purchase and Sale Agreement, and in PJM’s manuals and processes that implement such capacity programs. All such transfer of the Contract Capacity obligations will be documented and implemented in the manner specified by PJM or the purchasers under the ATSI Utilities FRR Program Capacity Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “ATSI Utilities”) (as the case may be), and Seller and Buyer will exchange such additional information, documentation, contracts, assignment and assumption agreements, or other instruments as may be required by PJM or the ATSI Utilities (as the case may be) such that Buyer will be able to perform its Contract Capacity obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Seller shall provide such additional information, documentation, contracts, assignment and assumption agreements, or other instruments as may be required or requested by PJM or the ATSI Utilities (as the case may be) in order to permit Buyer to receive all payments and rights to payment for the Contract Capacity and Buyer will perform all actions reasonably required or requested by PJM or the ATSI Utilities in order to make payment directly to Buyer in association with Buyer’s rights to such payment as described herein.

Section 7.11 Technical Arbitration. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the following provisions shall apply with respect to the definition of “Mechanically Complete” and the concomitant satisfaction of the corresponding conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.02(d)(ii):
(a) At any time prior to the Closing, Seller may notify Buyer in writing that in Seller’s view the condition set forth in clause (vi) of the definition of “Mechanically Complete” has been satisfied (a “Seller Notification”).
(b) Buyer shall have seven (7) Business Days to respond to the Seller Notification (“Buyer’s Response”), and, unless the Buyer’s Response states that Buyer objects to the Seller Notification (and sets forth reasonably specific reasons for such objection), clause (vi) of the definition of “Mechanically Complete” and the corresponding condition to Closing set forth in Section 9.02(d)(ii) shall be deemed to be satisfied and met (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such Buyer’s Response shall have no effect on any other covenants or agreements of Seller pursuant to this Agreement).
(c) If Buyer’s Response states that Buyer objects to the Seller Notification (and sets forth reasonably specific reasons for such objection), the matters addressed in the Buyer’s Response shall be immediately referred to binding arbitration by an independent engineer or engineering firm of favorable reputation that has not worked for either Party or their Affiliates for a period of one (1) year prior to such dispute and which is reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Technical Arbitrator”). If the Parties cannot decide on a Technical Arbitrator within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of a Buyer’s Response, the matter shall be referred to the New York office of the American Arbitration Association, who shall be instructed to select a Technical Arbitrator within five (5) Business Days of such instruction. The Technical Arbitrator shall be instructed by Buyer and Seller to render a final decision as to whether the reasons set forth in the Buyer’s Response are correct within twenty (20) days of its instruction, which final decision shall be final, absolute, and non-appealable by Buyer and Seller.
(d) The fees and expenses of the Technical Arbitrator shall be paid by the non-prevailing Party. If the Buyer is the non-prevailing Party, clause (B) of Section 2.06(a) shall apply at the Closing regardless of whether Buyer has provided Seller with the notice contemplated by Section 11.01(b).
(e) From and after the delivery of a Seller Notification pursuant to clause (a) above until the rendering of the final decision set forth in clause (c) above, the then-applicable termination date provided for in Section 11.01(b) shall be tolled (provided that time periods applicable to the second sentence of Section 7.11(d) shall not be tolled). Section 7.11 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth an example of such tolling.

(b) All real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (collectively, the “Apportioned Obligations”) shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer based on the number of days of such taxable period for each Taxing Authority included in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such taxable period after the Closing Date (with respect to any such taxable period, the “Post-Closing Tax Period”) (i.e., in accordance with the fiscal year method of tax proration).

Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in providing each other with any appropriate resale exemption certifications and other similar documentation. Seller shall be solely responsible for all income, franchise, gross income, gross receipts, business occupation, Single Business, Commercial Activity and similar Taxes it incurs in connection with the Transactions.

The paying party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non-paying party to the extent provided in Section 8.02(b) or (c), as the case may be. Upon payment of any such Apportioned Obligation or Transfer Tax, the paying party shall present a statement to the non-paying party setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the paying party is entitled under Section 8.02(b) or (c), as the case may be, together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount to be reimbursed. The non-paying party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the presentation of such statement.

(d) If, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, the Closing and consummation of the Transaction would be reasonably likely to cause Seller or any of its Affiliates to be in breach (or to be in imminent danger of such breach) of any covenant or other agreement restricting the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of assets under any currently outstanding agreement for indebtedness binding upon Seller or any of its Affiliates, including any letter of credit reimbursement, revolving credit or term loan agreement, Seller or any of its Affiliates shall have obtained any required or prudent prior written consent or written waiver of the required lenders under such agreement and such consent or waiver shall be in full force and effective to cure or otherwise avoid such actual or prospective breach; provided that neither Seller or any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay any charges, premiums, penalties or fees for any such consent or waiver.
(e) The Real Property, the Generating Facility and any other Purchased Assets, to the extent the same or any portion thereof shall be subject to any Lien of, under or pursuant to (i) the Mortgage Indenture or (ii) any other mortgage indenture, supplemental indenture or other instrument binding on Seller or any of its Affiliates, shall be fully released from any such Lien in accordance with the applicable provisions of, as applicable, Article 8 of the Mortgage Indenture or the similar provisions of any such other mortgage indenture, supplemental indenture or other instrument; provided that neither Seller or any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay any charges, premiums, penalties or fees for any such release.

Section 10.03 Procedures.
(a) A party making a Claim for indemnification under Section 10.02 shall be, for the purposes of this Agreement referred to as an “Indemnified Party” and a party against whom such claims are asserted under Section 10.02 shall be, for the purposes of this Agreement, referred to as an “Indemnifying Party”. All claims by any Indemnified Party under Section 10.02 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:
(b) In the event that (i) any action, application, suit, demand, claim or legal, administrative, arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution proceeding, hearing or investigation (each a “Proceeding”) is asserted or instituted by any Person other than the Parties or their Affiliates which could give rise to Damages for which an Indemnifying Party could be liable to an Indemnified Party under this Agreement (such Proceeding, a “Third Party Claim”) or (ii) any Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall have a claim to be indemnified by any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement which does not involve a Third Party Claim (such claim, a “Direct Claim” and, together with Third Party Claims, “Indemnification Claims”), the Indemnified Party shall, promptly after it becomes aware of a Third Party Claim (and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days), or facts supporting a Direct Claim, send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying the nature of such Proceeding, and the amount or estimated amount thereof and the section of this Agreement such Third Party Claim or Direct Claim is being made under (a “Claim Notice”), together with copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) served on or received by the Indemnified Party in the case of a Third Party Claim, provided that a delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 10.02 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such failure to give such notice, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its obligations under Section 10.02 to the extent of such prejudice.

 

50


 

(c) In the event of a Third Party Claim the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim and be entitled to appoint counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice at the expense of the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party in connection with such Proceeding (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by any Indemnified Party or any other costs or expenses with respect to the defense of a Third Party Claim except as set forth below); provided that, notwithstanding such failure to engage counsel within reasonable time, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim by appointment of counsel and shall thereafter cease to be responsible for the fees and expenses of separate counsel appointed by the Indemnified Party. Nothing in this Section 10.03 shall require the Indemnifying Party to be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel at any time in connection with the defense against a Third Party Claim. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in defending and contesting any Proceeding which the Indemnifying Party defends in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person. No Third Party Claim may be settled or compromised, or the entry of any judgment related thereto consented to (i) by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party in its sole discretion or (ii) by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless, in the case of this clause (ii), the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party (if such claim by the Indemnified Party for indemnification is successful). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Third Party Claim without such consent, provided that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnification under this Section 10.03 with respect to such Third Party Claim.

 

51


 

(d) In the event of Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claim Notice whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes such Indemnification Claim. From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice under this Agreement, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its representatives reasonable access to the books, records, employees, representatives and properties of such Indemnified Party, and in the case of a claim relating to environmental matters, copies of sampling data, environmental reports, proposals and any other correspondence in the possession of the Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the Claim Notice relates. All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under conditions which will not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of such Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its representatives not to, use (except in connection with such Claim Notice) or disclose to any third person other than the Indemnifying Party’s representatives (except as may be required by applicable Law) any information obtained pursuant to this Section 10.03(d) which is designated as confidential by the Indemnified Party.
Section 10.04 Calculation of Damages.
(a) The amount of any Damages payable under this ARTICLE 10 by the Indemnifying Party shall be (i) net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies (which the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain) and (ii) net of any Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages and the receipt of indemnification payments from or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party. In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit or cost, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to fully utilize, at the highest marginal tax rate then in effect and applicable to such Party with respect to such payment, all Tax items arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Damages.

 

52


 

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 10.02 (and no Party shall be liable under Section 11.02 or otherwise under this Agreement) for any (i) special, incidental, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary Damages or (ii) Damages for lost profits. For purposes of clarity, the payment of Damages to a Person making a Third Party Claim in satisfaction of such Third Party Claim shall not be deemed consequential Damages.
(c) The Indemnifying Party shall promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, pay or reimburse to the Indemnified Party the amount of all Indemnification Claims after the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefor is established (a) by agreement in writing between Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party or (b) by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (any amount so determined is referred to herein as an “Established Loss”).
(d) All amounts paid by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this ARTICLE 10 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.
Section 10.05 Assignment of Claims. If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Damages pursuant to ARTICLE 10 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Damages from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to seek to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment.
Section 10.06 Exclusive Remedy; Mitigation. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, each Party waives any rights and claims it may have against the other Party, whether in Law or in equity, relating to the Purchased Assets or the Transactions after the Closing. Such rights and claims waived by each Party include, claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to claims for breach of contract, breach of representation or warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty. After the Closing, ARTICLE 10 will provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller agree that each Party shall retain all remedies at Law or in equity with respect to actual fraud or willful or intentional breaches of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. Each of Buyer and Seller has an obligation to use reasonable best efforts to mitigate Damages for which they are or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 10.
