(a) Seller Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Purchaser Indemnified Party and hold them harmless from and against, without duplication, any loss, claim, liability, expense, or other damage attributable to (i) all Taxes of Seller Parties or their direct or indirect owners, (ii) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of an Acquired Entity for all taxable periods ending on or before January 1, 2015 (the “Calculation Date”) and the portion through the end of the Calculation Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Calculation Date (each, a “Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period”), (iii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of an Acquired Company is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation, (iv) any and all Taxes of any person imposed on Purchaser, or an Acquired Entity as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction

Purchase and Sale Agreement – WCG

occurring on or before the Closing Date, and (v) any termination under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code of any Acquired Entity attributable to, resulting from or arising in connection with any transaction preceding those contemplated by this Agreement to the extent any Seller Party, Acquired Entity or their Affiliates approved such transaction prior to the Closing Date.

(b) In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) Calculation Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any state or local Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, or payroll of an Acquired Entity for the Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Calculation Date, while in the case of all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes and other Taxes and similar obligations of an Acquired Entity imposed by the State of Kansas and Missouri, the United States or any other Governmental Authority that are due or become due for Straddle Periods, such Taxes and obligations shall be apportioned to Seller Parties for the Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period of such Straddle Period, and the amount of such Taxes and obligations of an Acquired Entity that relate to the Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes and obligations for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. Seller Parties shall be jointly and severally responsible for the portion of such Taxes and obligations attributable to any Pre-Calculation Date Tax Periods. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate in assuring that such Taxes and obligations that are the responsibility of Seller Parties pursuant to the preceding sentences are paid by Seller Parties. If any refund, rebate or similar payment is received by an Acquired Entity and/or Purchaser for any Taxes or similar obligations referred to above, then to the extent such refund, rebate or payment relates to a Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period of an Acquired Entity it shall be for the benefit of Seller Parties, and the Acquired Entity or Purchaser shall pay over the amount of such refund, rebate or payment to Seller Parties with reasonable promptness following receipt thereof.

(c) For any Taxes that relate solely to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Date Tax Period”), Seller Parties shall timely prepare and, with respect to Tax Returns due prior to the Closing Date, file (or cause to be filed) with the appropriate authorities, all Tax Returns required to be filed by an Acquired Entity; provided, that no Tax Return required to be filed after the Calculation Date but prior to the Closing Date shall be filed without Purchaser’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). All Tax Returns required to be filed by an Acquired Entity after the Closing Date shall be filed (or cause to be filed) by Purchaser; provided, that if Purchaser objects to any Tax Return prepared by any Seller Party pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall grant or cause to be granted to a representative of such Seller Party a limited power of attorney and take any other action necessary to enable such Seller Party to execute and file, and pursuant thereto such Seller Party shall execute and file, such Tax Return.

(d) All sales, use, transfer, real property transfer, recording, stock transfer, value-added and other similar Taxes and fees (“Transfer Taxes”), if any, arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by Purchaser. The Parties shall cooperate in connection with the preparation and filing of all necessary

Purchase and Sale Agreement – WCG

documentation and Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with such Transfer Taxes and will make available to each other, and to any Taxing Authority, all information, records or documents related to the liability or potential liability for such Transfer Taxes and will preserve such information, records or documents until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof.

9.02 Allocation of Purchase Price.

No later than thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, WCG shall deliver to Purchaser a proposed schedule (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price among the assets and any liabilities of the Acquired Companies and any other items entering into Purchaser’s tax basis for the assets of the Acquired Companies under Section 755 of the Code, among such assets of the Acquired Companies. The Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be subject to Purchaser’s review, comment, and prior consent, and Purchaser shall deliver its comments to WCG within fourteen (14) calendar days after its receipt of the proposed Purchase Price Allocation Schedule from WCG, and Seller Parties shall incorporate any reasonable comments of Purchaser into the final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule. If the Purchaser and Seller Parties are unable to agree on the final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, then the final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be determined by a nationally-recognized accounting firm that is mutually agreeable to both Purchaser and Seller Parties. The Purchaser, LC FinCo, PR HoldCo and Seller Parties shall report for Tax purposes and file Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the final Purchase Price Allocation Schedule; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser’s cost for the assets that it purchases may differ from the total amount allocated hereunder to reflect the inclusion in the total cost of items (for example, capitalized acquisition costs) not included in the amount so allocated, (ii) the amount realized by Seller Parties may differ from the total amount allocated hereunder to reflect transaction costs that reduce the amount realized for federal income tax purposes, and (iii) that neither Seller Parties or any of their Affiliates nor Purchaser or any of its Affiliates will be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation of the Purchase Price by a Governmental Authority. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated among the assets of Acquired Entities for purposes of the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule in accordance with this Section 9.02.

9.03 Tax Contests.

Purchaser shall promptly inform WCG of the commencement of any audit, examination or proceeding relating in whole or in part to Taxes for which Seller Parties are responsible to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to any such Tax, to the extent within the power of Purchaser, using commercially reasonable efforts, WCG will have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to control (in the case of a Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period) or participate in (in the case of a Straddle Period) the prosecution, settlement or compromise of any proceeding involving the Tax, including the determination of the value of property for purposes of real and personal property ad valorem Taxes, provided that WCG shall have promptly notified Purchaser in writing of its intention to control or participate in such Tax proceeding. Purchaser will (and will, to the extent within the power of Purchaser, using commercially reasonable efforts, cause each Acquired Entity to) take

Purchase and Sale Agreement – WCG

such action in connection with any such proceeding that WCG reasonably requests, including the selection of counsel and experts and the execution of powers of attorney. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser will be entitled to participate in any proceeding involving a Pre-Calculation Date Tax Period, and WCG will not settle any proceeding without Purchaser’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser will (and will, to the extent within the power of Purchaser, using commercially reasonable efforts, cause each Acquired Entity to) inform WCG promptly, and send WCG copies promptly upon receipt, of any notice of an audit, examination, claim or assessment for any Tax for which Seller Parties are responsible and keep WCG informed of progress in the proceedings and allow WCG to attend any meetings and scheduled calls with the Governmental Authorities to the extent WCG is not controlling the proceedings. WCG will have an obligation to keep Purchaser similarly informed about proceedings that it controls and diligently prosecute such proceedings. Failure to give any notice or keep the other Party informed will reduce Seller Parties’ indemnification obligation pursuant to this Agreement only to the extent Seller Parties are actually prejudiced by the failure. If notice is given to WCG of the commencement of any such audit, examination or proceeding and WCG does not, within ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser’s notice is given, give notice to Purchaser of its election to assume or participate in the defense thereof or if WCG fails to diligently prosecute the defense of any Tax proceeding for which it has elected to assume or participate in the defense, WCG shall be bound by any determination made in such audit, examination or proceeding or any compromise or settlement thereof effected by Purchaser.

9.04 Cooperation.

The Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any of the other Parties, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and the conduct of any Tax proceedings related to the Acquired Entities. For a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall retain records and information which are reasonably relevant to any Tax matters and make then current employees available, if any, to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Purchaser and Seller Parties each agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10

SURVIVAL

ARTICLE 11

INDEMNIFICATION

11.01 Indemnification by Seller Parties.

Seller Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them become subject, resulting from, arising out of or related to (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates in this Agreement or any other Investment Document or (b) any breach or nonperformance of any covenant, agreement or obligation made or to be performed by any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement or any other Investment Document. The amount of any such indemnity payable by Seller Parties shall be reduced by the amount of all net insurance proceeds actually received by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties as of the time such indemnification payment is required to be paid in respect of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the indemnification obligation hereunder.

11.02 Indemnification by Purchaser.

Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them become subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in this Agreement or any other Investment Document or (b) any breach or nonperformance of any covenant, agreement or obligation made or to be performed by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement or any other Investment Document. The amount of any such indemnity payable by Purchaser to a Seller Indemnified Party shall be reduced by the amount of all insurance proceeds actually received by such Seller Indemnified Party as of the time such indemnification payment is required to be paid in respect of the occurrence of the event which gave rise to the indemnification obligation hereunder.

11.03 Period for Making Claims.

No claim under this Agreement for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement may be made by a Party unless such Party shall have delivered a written notice of claim prior to the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that a claim for any breach of (a) any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement involving fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation shall survive the Closing indefinitely and (b) any Fundamental Representation shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period (taking into account any extensions or waivers thereof); provided, further, that if written notice for a claim of indemnification has been provided by the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.05(a) on or prior to the last day of the applicable foregoing survival period, then the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 11 shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all of the Parties’ covenants that contemplate actions or impose obligations following the Closing shall survive in accordance with their respective terms.

Purchase and Sale Agreement – WCG

11.04 Limitations on Claims; Additional Indemnity Provisions.

(a) Subject to Section 11.04(b), Seller Parties shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for Losses pursuant to Section 11.01(a), and Purchaser shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for Losses pursuant to Section 11.02(a), until the aggregate of all such Losses exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Deductible”), at which time Seller Parties or Purchaser, as applicable, shall be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, respectively, for all amounts in excess of the Deductible.

(b) The aggregate liability of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE 11 shall be limited to an amount equal to Closing Date Purchase Price; provided, however, that the aggregate liability of Seller Parties or of Purchaser for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representations other than the Fundamental Representations shall be limited to an amount equal to $19,500,000 (the “Cap”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Deductible and Cap shall not apply to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.01(a) or Section 11.02(a) in respect of any claim involving fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or willful misconduct or any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation.

(d) Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its Losses (including by using such efforts to recover any insurance as may be available with respect to such Loss) upon and after becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable under this ARTICLE 11; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to impose any obligation or duty to initiate legal proceedings to seek such recovery.

11.05 Procedure for Indemnification.

(a) Notice. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification under this ARTICLE 11, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim. In the event of any such claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the notice shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom.

(b) Settlement of Losses. The Indemnified Party shall not settle, consent to the entry of a judgment of or compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Indemnifying Party.

Purchase and Sale Agreement – WCG

11.06 Rights of Indemnifying Party.

(a) Right to Assume the Defense. In connection with any claim which may give rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a Person other than the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party, may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, which defense shall be prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settlement in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume such defense if (i) such claim or legal proceeding involves criminal allegations or seeks an injunction, restraining order, declaratory relief or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party, (ii) a material conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or (iii) such claim or legal proceeding involves potential liability that would be materially adverse to the interests of the Indemnified Party or could reasonably be expected to result in Losses that are not fully indemnifiable (including as a result of the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 11).

(b) Procedure. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall (i) select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such claims or legal proceedings, and (ii) take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof, at its sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any information or authorization as may be reasonably necessary to allow the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim or legal proceeding (and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith). The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and (except as otherwise provided by Section 11.06(d)) at its sole cost and expense.

(c) Settlement of Losses. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) No Right or Decline to Assume the Defense. If the Indemnifying Party does not have the right to control such claim or legal proceeding or does not assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding resulting therefrom within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date the Indemnifying Party is notified of such claim or legal proceeding by the Indemnified Party: (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation, at the sole cost and expense (which cost and expense shall be reasonable) of the Indemnifying Party, in such manner as the Indemnified Party may deem reasonably appropriate, including settling such claim or litigation, subject to the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its sole cost and expense.

11.07 Exclusive Remedy.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained herein, the indemnities set forth in this ARTICLE 11 shall become effective as of the Closing Date. Except as provided in Section 13.03, if the Closing shall occur, (a) the indemnities set forth in ARTICLE 9 and this ARTICLE 11 shall be the exclusive remedies of the Parties and their respective members, officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates due to breach or misrepresentation of, or inaccuracy in, a representation or warranty, nonfulfilment or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and (b) the Parties shall not be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement or to any further indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever in respect thereof, all of which the Parties hereto hereby waive.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to Closing as follows:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Purchaser and WCG;

(b) by written notice of either WCG or Purchaser if the Closing has not occurred on or before June 30, 2015 (the “Termination Date”) (provided, however, that if the only conditions remaining to be satisfied (other than those conditions which by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing and which are capable of being satisfied) are the receipt of one or more Governmental Approvals or the delivery of the audited financial statements set forth in Section 7.11(b), then the Termination Date may be extended by either party (unless such party is in default under this Agreement or any other Investment Document) upon written notice to the other Party to July 31, 2015) and the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not caused by a breach of this Agreement by the terminating Party;

(c) by written notice of Purchaser if there has been a breach by any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Investment Document which (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.01 or 7.02 to be satisfied as of the time of such breach, and (ii) either (x) cannot be cured prior to the Termination Date, or (y) is a breach of any Seller Party’s obligations to transfer the Acquired Interests at the Closing in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that the right to terminate pursuant to this Section 12.01(c) shall not be available to Purchaser if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Investment Document; or

Purchase and Sale Agreement – WCG

(d) by written notice of WCG if there has been a breach by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Investment Document which (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.01 or 8.02 to be satisfied as of the time of such breach, and (ii) either (x) cannot be cured prior to the Termination Date, or (y) is a breach of Purchaser’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price at the Closing in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that the right to terminate pursuant to this Section 12.01(d) shall not be available to WCG if any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates is in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Investment Document.

(a) If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 12.01, this Agreement will forthwith become null and void, and there will be no liability or obligation on the part of Seller Parties or Purchaser (or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates) in respect of this Agreement, except that the applicable portions of ARTICLE 1, this Section 12.02, and the entirety of Sections 13.01, 13.03, 13.05, 13.06, 13.12, 13.13, 13.14 and 13.15 will continue to apply following any termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 12.02 shall release any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement by such Party prior to the termination of this Agreement (and any attempted termination by the breaching Party shall be void).

(b) Upon termination of this Agreement by a Party for any reason, each Party shall return or destroy all Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement as amended by Section 13.06(a) hereof) and all copies, extracts and reproductions thereof to the extent required by Section 5 of the Confidentiality Agreement (as amended by Section 13.06(a) hereof).

13.02 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement (as amended by Section 13.06 hereof), the Assignments of Membership Interests, the other Investment Documents, and the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto, and the other documents executed and delivered on the Closing Date, shall supersede all previous oral and written and all contemporaneous oral negotiations, commitments, and understandings and all other letters, memoranda or other documents or communications, whether oral, written or electronic, in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and with respect to the subject hereof.

13.03 Specific Performance.

Each Party to this Agreement agrees that, in view of the uniqueness of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any failure to perform or breach of its obligations under this Agreement will result in irreparable damage to the other Parties, that the remedies available to

Purchase and Sale Agreement – WCG

the other Parties at Law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such failure or breach, and that in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, each of the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance by the other Parties of their respective obligations under this Agreement and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each Party further agrees that, if the other Party seeks to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in respect of such breach or violation, it will not assert as a defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate, and nothing contained in this Section 13.03 shall require any Party to seek (or limit any Party’s right to seek) specific performance under this Agreement before exercising any other right under this Agreement.

13.04 Time of the Essence.

Time is of the essence with regard to all duties and time periods set forth in this Agreement.

13.05 Expenses.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Party will pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement.

13.06 Confidentiality.

(a) As amended by this clause (a), the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until the Closing, when it shall be automatically terminated, or if this Agreement terminates earlier in accordance with ARTICLE 12, until the termination of the Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with its terms; provided, that “Information” under and as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to include information, analyses, compilations, data, studies, notes, interpretations, memoranda or other documents disclosed by Purchaser, its Affiliates or its or their Representatives to any Seller Party, its Affiliates and its and their Representatives, and in respect of such Information each Seller Party shall have the same obligations as Purchaser has under the Confidentiality Agreement in respect of Information provided by WCG or its Affiliates; provided further, that “Representatives” under and as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement shall include representatives of potential sources of financing, and Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose the “Information” under and as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement to its “Representatives” under and as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement to the extent necessary for Purchaser to pursue a financing; provided, however, to the extent such financing is contemplated to be executed through the public markets such permission granted to financing sources and their representatives shall not extend to the dissemination or disclosure of any “Information” to such markets (as opposed to any underwriters and their advisors engaged in anticipation of such public financing and otherwise in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement).

Purchase and Sale Agreement – WCG

(b) From and after the Closing, each Seller Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Representatives to, (i) treat and hold as confidential any information concerning the Business (including know-how and trade secrets) of the Acquired Entities, the Investment Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), except (A) as expressly permitted hereunder, (B) to the extent such Confidential Information comes into the public domain after the Closing through no breach by any Seller Party of this Section 13.06(b), (C) to the extent such Confidential Information was or becomes available to any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date on a non-confidential basis from a source other than one of the Acquired Entities, or (D) to the extent the disclosure of such Confidential Information is required by Law or any regulatory requirements or as part of the preparation or issuance of any financial statements, and (ii) refrain from using any of the Confidential Information other than to prepare Taxes to comply with any other obligations hereunder and pursue rights under this Agreement. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information is the property of the Acquired Entities. In the event that, after the Closing Date, any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates or its or their Representatives is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person shall notify Purchaser promptly of the request or requirement so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 13.06(b). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Person is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any Governmental Authority or else stand liable for contempt, such Person may disclose such Confidential Information to such Governmental Authority; provided, that Seller Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the expense and request of Purchaser, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Purchaser shall designate.

13.07 Waiver.

Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition and delivered pursuant to Section 13.01. No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

13.08 Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of each Party.

Purchase and Sale Agreement – WCG

13.09 No Third Party Beneficiary.

The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each Party and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the Parties to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other Person other than any Person entitled to indemnity under ARTICLE 9 or ARTICLE 11.

13.10 Assignment.

The obligations of Seller Parties, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, under this Agreement are not assignable without the prior written consent of Purchaser or Seller Parties, respectively, which any such Party may withhold in its discretion; provided however, that any such assignment by Purchaser to an Affiliate of Purchaser or by Seller Parties to an Affiliate of WCG following the Closing shall not require consent so long as, any assignee parties agree to be bound by this Agreement and such assignment shall not relieve the assignor party from its obligations hereunder; provided further, that Purchaser and its permitted assigns may at any time without the prior written consent of Seller Parties: (i) assign, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Investment Documents to one or more of its Affiliates so long as Purchaser remains liable for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Investment Documents, and (ii) assign its rights under this Agreement, and the Investment Documents for collateral security purposes to any financing parties providing debt financing to (A) Purchaser, (B) any of the Acquired Entities, (C) the permitted assigns described in clause (i), or (D) any of the Affiliates of the foregoing entities.

13.11 Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. Should any provision of this Agreement be or become invalid or unenforceable as a whole or in part, this Agreement shall be reformed to come closest to the original intent and purpose of the Parties.

13.12 Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF EXCEPT FOR SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

The HSR Act filing fee shall be borne one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Seller Parties.

The Parties shall consult with each other regarding such filings and shall consider and incorporate in such filings all reasonable comments, if any, submitted by the other Party with respect thereto, and shall have the joint right to approve such filings. FERC counsel engaged by the Parties shall be jointly responsible for and shall execute the filing, and, once approved by the Parties, counsel for Purchaser shall undertake the actual filing. Both counsel for Seller Parties and for Purchaser shall manage all communications with FERC with respect to the FPA Section 203 application. To the maximum extent practicable and consistent with the provisions of this subsection and with FERC staff directions, the Parties will have their respective FERC counsel included in all communications with FERC staff concerning the FPA

Purchase and Sale Agreement – WCG

Section 203 application, including to the extent practicable in preparations for such communications. The Parties shall cooperate with one another to respond promptly to any requests for additional information made by the FERC and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause regulatory approval to be obtained at the earliest possible date after the date of filing. Each Party shall bear its own costs incurred in connection with the FERC filing; provided, however, that if FERC requires or requests the submission of a statistical or economic competition or market-power study or screen analysis, under 18 C.F.R.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Party receives a request for additional information from any Governmental Authority that is related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such Party shall endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, to the extent practicable and after consultation with the other Parties, an appropriate response to such request. Prior to delivery of such response, such Party shall provide the other Parties with an opportunity to review and comment on such response, to the extent practicable. No Party shall participate in any meeting, or engage in any material substantive conversation, with any Governmental Authority without giving the other Parties and their designated counsel prior notice of the meeting or conversation and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend or participate.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Party or any of its Affiliates shall be required to (i) defend any lawsuit challenging this Agreement or any other Investment Document or the performance of the obligations hereunder or thereunder unless it is commercially reasonable to do so, except as otherwise required by ARTICLE 11, (ii) other than pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Investment Documents, sell, transfer, divest or otherwise dispose of any business, assets or properties directly or indirectly owned by it in connection with this Agreement or any other Investment Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (iii) give or promise any consideration, whether such consideration shall consist of the payment of money or shall take any other form, or grant any accommodation for any consent, Permit, exemption or waiver required, necessary or advisable from any Person that is not such Party’s Affiliate for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Investment Document.

FORM OF CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS FOR SELLER PARTIES

CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS OF SELLER PARTIES

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. Wind Capital Group, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and Lincoln County Wind Project Finco, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, are each disregarded as separate entities from Wind Capital Ventures, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Trasnferor”) for U.S. federal tax purposes.

To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by Transferor, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of the Transferor:

1. Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations);

2. Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

3. Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is xx-xxxxxxx; and

4. Transferor’s office address is shown below.

Wind Capital Ventures, LP

Chicago, IL 60654

Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.

4. Disbursement of Escrow Funds, Generally. Escrow Agent shall disburse Escrow Funds at any time and from time to time, upon receipt of and in accordance with, a Joint Written Direction. Such Joint Written Direction shall include instructions to disburse funds conforming to the payment instructions set forth on Schedule A hereto, or if payment instructions are altered, such Joint Written Direction shall contain complete payment instructions, including wire transfer instructions or an address to which a check shall be sent. On the date that is fifteen (15) business days after the expiration of the Escrow Period and without any further direction or instruction, Escrow Agent shall distribute to the Seller Parties, as promptly as practicable, any remaining Escrow Funds not subject to a Claim Notice in accordance with the payment instructions for the Seller Parties set forth on Schedule A hereto.

5. Administration of and Disbursement for Claims.

(a) If during the Escrow Period Purchaser elects to make a claim for obligations owed to it by the Seller Parties, then procedures for administering and resolving such claims shall be as follows:

(i) If Purchaser asserts an initial claim for amounts owed by the Seller Parties under the Underlying Agreement that Purchaser wishes to recover from the Escrow Funds (a “Seller Claim”), it must give written notice of the claim, which notice must set forth (A) a description of and the general basis for the claim and (B) the amount owed (or, if such amount is not known, a reasonable estimate of the amount owed) (“Claim Notice”), to Escrow Agent and the Seller Parties prior to the expiration of the Escrow Period. Within fifteen (15) business days after the date upon which such Claim Notice is delivered to Escrow Agent (“Claim Notice Delivery Date”), the Seller Parties may advise Purchaser and Escrow Agent in writing whether the Seller Parties object to some or all of the Seller Claim set forth in the Claim Notice (a “Claim Response”).

Page 2 of 15 (inclusive of Schedules A-D)

(ii) Escrow Agent shall pay to Purchaser the amount set forth in a Claim Notice (but not to exceed the outstanding Escrow Funds) only if (1) the Escrow Agent has not received from the Seller Parties a Claim Response or a Freeze Notice within fifteen (15) business days after the Claim Notice Delivery Date and (2) Purchaser has provided a written statement to Escrow Agent stating that Purchaser has delivered the Claim Notice to the Seller Parties in accordance with Section 5(a)(i) and the notice provisions as defined herein, and that the Seller Parties have failed to object to the Seller Claim; or (B) pursuant to a Joint Written Direction.

(iii) If, within fifteen (15) business days after the Claim Notice Delivery Date, Escrow Agent receives from the Seller Parties a Claim Response to any or all of the Claim Notice amount (the “Contested Amount”), Escrow Agent shall release to Purchaser all of the Claim Notice amount (but not to exceed the outstanding Escrow Funds) except for the Contested Amount. Thereafter, Escrow Agent shall release the Contested Amount (but not to exceed the outstanding Escrow Funds) only pursuant to (A) a Joint Written Direction or (B) the order, judgment or decree of any court or the award of an arbitrator chosen by Purchaser and the Seller Parties.

(iv) In the event the Claim Notice sets forth an estimate of the amount owed pursuant to the Seller Claim and within fifteen (15) business days after the Claim Notice Delivery Date Seller delivers a notice that such amounts are subject to this Section 5(a)(iv) (a “Freeze Notice”), Escrow Agent shall hold the amount of such estimated Seller Claim until Purchaser delivers a subsequent Claim Notice (a “Definitive Claim Notice”) setting forth the definitive amount of such Seller Claim which was the subject of the previous Claim Notice and upon which such Seller Claim shall again be subject to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 5(a)(i) and Sections 5(a)(ii) and (iii) as to the payment or disbursement thereof. For the avoidance of doubt any amount held pursuant to this Section 5(a)(iv) at the expiration of the Escrow Period shall be deemed to remain subject to a Claim Notice for purposes of Section 4 hereof and shall only be available for the payment of amounts related to the subject of the initial Claim Notice, unless the balance of Escrow Funds is insufficient to pay all of the Seller Claims outstanding at the expiration of the Escrow Period, in which case Purchaser shall have the option of receiving Escrow Funds subject to a Freeze Notice in satisfaction of unrelated Seller Claims to the extent amounts are otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall be permitted to deliver a Definitive Claim Notice after the expiration of the Escrow Period.

(b) Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the validity or sufficiency of any Claim Notice, Freeze Notice, Definitive Claim Notice or Claim Response or whether any Claim Notice, Freeze Notice, Definitive Claim Notice or Claim Response has been received by any of Purchaser, the Seller Parties or their respective Representatives, or to provide a copy of any Claim Notice, Freeze Notice, Definitive Claim Notice or Claim Response to any of Purchaser, the Seller Parties or the Representatives. Escrow Agent may conclusively presume that any Claim Notice, Freeze Notice, Definitive Claim Notice or Claim Response received by it has been simultaneously received by the Seller Parties or by Purchaser, as the case may be.

6. Suspension of Performance; Disbursement into Court. If, at any time, (i) there shall exist any dispute between Purchaser, the Seller Parties or the Representatives with respect to the holding or disposition of all or any portion of Escrow Funds or any other obligations of Escrow Agent hereunder, (ii) Escrow Agent is unable to determine, to Escrow Agent’s sole satisfaction, the proper disposition of all or any portion of Escrow Funds or Escrow Agent’s proper actions with respect to its obligations hereunder, or (iii) the Representatives have not, within 10 calendar days of the furnishing by Escrow Agent of a notice of resignation pursuant to Section 8 hereof, appointed a successor Escrow Agent to act hereunder, then Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, take either or both of the following actions: (x) suspend the performance of any of its obligations (including without limitation any disbursement obligations) under this Agreement until such dispute or uncertainty shall be resolved to the sole satisfaction of Escrow Agent or until a successor Escrow Agent shall have been appointed, and (y) petition (by means of an interpleader action or any other appropriate method) any court of competent jurisdiction, in any venue convenient to Escrow Agent, for instructions with respect to such

Page 3 of 15 (inclusive of Schedules A-D)

dispute or uncertainty, and to the extent required or permitted by law, pay into such court, for holding and disposition in accordance with the instructions of such court, all Escrow Funds, after deduction and payment to Escrow Agent of fees and expenses (including without limitation court costs and attorneys’ fees) payable to, incurred by, or expected to be incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder. Escrow Agent shall have no liability to Purchaser, the Seller Parties or the Representatives, their respective owners, shareholders or members or any other person with respect to any such suspension of performance or disbursement into court, including without limitation any liability or claimed liability that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, as a result of any delay in the disbursement of Escrow Funds or any delay with respect to any other action required or requested of Escrow Agent.

7. Investment of Funds. Based upon Purchaser’s and the Seller Parties prior review of investment alternatives, in the absence of further specific Joint Written Direction to the contrary, Escrow Agent is directed to invest and reinvest Escrow Funds in the investment indicated on Schedule B hereto. Purchaser and the Seller Parties may provide Joint Written Direction to Escrow Agent changing the investment of Escrow Funds; provided, however, that no investment may be made except in the following: (i) direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United State of America; (ii) U.S. dollar denominated demand and time deposit accounts with a national bank or banking association (including Escrow Agent) which has a rating on its short-term deposits on the date of investment of “A-1” or “A-l+” by Standard &Poor’s and “P-1” by Moody’s and maturing no more than 360 days after the date of investment (ratings on holding companies are not considered as the rating of the bank); or (iii) money market funds, including funds managed by Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates, rated on the date of investment “AAAm” by Standard &Poor’s or “Aaa-mf” by Moody’s; provided, however, that Escrow Agent will not be directed to invest in investments that Escrow Agent in its sole discretion determines are not consistent with Escrow Agent’s policy or practices. Purchaser and the Seller Parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent does not have a duty nor will it undertake any duty to provide investment advice. To the extent that Purchaser and the Seller Parties direct Escrow Agent to invest in a money market fund as described in clause (iii) in this Section 7, Purchaser and the Seller Parties acknowledge that they have received from Escrow Agent, either directly or via access to a relevant website, a current copy of the prospectus for the investment they have authorized, prior to providing such authorization.

All investments shall be made in the name of Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Escrow Agent may, without notice to Purchaser and the Seller Parties, sell or liquidate any of the foregoing investments at any time for any disbursement of Escrow Funds permitted or required hereunder. All investment earnings shall become part of Escrow Funds and investment losses shall be charged against Escrow Funds. Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for loss in the value of any investment made pursuant to this Agreement, or for any loss, cost or penalty resulting from any sale or liquidation of Escrow Funds. With respect to any Escrow Funds received by Escrow Agent after twelve o’clock, p.m., St. Paul, Minnesota, local time, Escrow Agent shall not be required to invest such funds or to effect any investment instruction until the next day upon which banks in St. Paul, Minnesota and the New York Stock Exchange are open for business.

8. Resignation of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving ten (10) days prior written notice to Purchaser and the Seller Parties specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon any such notice of resignation, Purchaser and the Seller Parties jointly shall appoint a successor Escrow Agent hereunder prior to the effective date of such resignation. If Purchaser and the Seller Parties fail to appoint a successor Escrow Agent within such time, Escrow Agent shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Escrow Agent, and all costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) related to such petition shall be paid jointly and severally by Purchaser and the Seller Parties. The retiring Escrow Agent shall transmit all records pertaining to Escrow Funds and shall pay all Escrow Funds to the successor Escrow Agent, after making copies of such records as the retiring Escrow Agent deems advisable and after deduction and payment to the retiring Escrow Agent of all fees and expenses (including without limitation court costs and attorneys’ fees) payable to, incurred by, or expected to be incurred by the retiring Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder. After any retiring Escrow Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

Page 4 of 15 (inclusive of Schedules A-D)

9. Binding Effect; Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the respective parties hereto and their heirs, executors, successors or assigns. If Escrow Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including the escrow contemplated by this Agreement) to another corporation or association, the successor or transferee entity shall be the successor Escrow Agent without any further act.

10. Liability of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied. Escrow Agent has no fiduciary or discretionary duties of any kind. Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Agreement, including without limitation any other agreement between any or all of the parties hereto or any other persons even though reference thereto may be made herein. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the sole cause of loss to Purchaser or the Seller Parties. Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility shall be for the safekeeping and disbursement of Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth herein. Escrow Agent may rely upon any notice, instruction, request or other instrument, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall believe to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same. In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages or penalties (including but not limited to lost profits), even if Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damages or penalty and regardless of the form of action. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control, including without limitation acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war or terror, epidemics, governmental regulations, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action or commence any proceeding in connection with Escrow Funds, any account in which Escrow Funds are deposited, this Agreement or the Underlying Agreement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or proceeding. Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or of any other agreement or of its duties hereunder, or relating to any dispute involving any party hereto, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully indemnified from any liability whatsoever in acting in accordance with the advice of such counsel. Purchaser and the Seller Parties, jointly and severally, shall promptly pay, upon demand, the reasonable fees and expenses of any such counsel. Purchaser and the Seller Parties agree to perform or procure the performance of all further acts and things, and execute and deliver such further documents, as may be required by law or as Escrow Agent may reasonably request in connection with its duties hereunder.

Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with final orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to Escrow Funds, without determination by Escrow Agent of such court’s jurisdiction in the matter. If any portion of Escrow Funds is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such event, Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel selected by it is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if Escrow Agent complies with any such order, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance even though such order, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

11. Indemnification of Escrow Agent. From and at all times after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser and the Seller Parties, jointly and severally, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify

Page 5 of 15 (inclusive of Schedules A-D)

and hold harmless Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person, including without limitation Purchaser, the Seller Parties and the Representatives, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any person under any statute or regulation, including, but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance in connection with this Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Purchaser and the Seller Parties further agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Indemnified Party for all costs, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of Purchaser’s and the Seller Parties’ indemnification obligations hereunder. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by Purchaser and the Seller Parties jointly and severally. The obligations of Purchaser and the Seller Parties under this Section 11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

Purchaser and the Seller Parties agree that neither the payment by Purchaser or the Seller Parties of any claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification hereunder nor the disbursement of any amounts to Escrow Agent from Escrow Funds in respect of a claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification shall impair, limit, modify, or affect, as between Purchaser and the Seller Parties, the respective rights and obligations of Purchaser and the Seller Parties under the Underlying Agreement.

12. Compensation of Escrow Agent

(a) Fees and Expenses. Purchaser and the Seller Parties agree, jointly and severally, to compensate Escrow Agent on demand for its services hereunder in accordance with Schedule C attached hereto. Without limiting the joint and several nature of their obligations to Escrow Agent, Purchaser and the Seller Parties agree between themselves that Purchaser will be wholly responsible for Escrow Agent’s compensation. The obligations of Purchaser and the Seller Parties under this Section 12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

(b) Disbursements from Escrow Funds to Pay Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent is authorized to, and may disburse to itself from Escrow Funds, from time to time, the amount of any compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses due and payable hereunder (including without limitation any amount to which Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification hereunder). Escrow Agent shall notify Purchaser and the Seller Parties of any disbursement from Escrow Funds to itself or any Indemnified Party in respect of any compensation or reimbursement hereunder and shall furnish Purchaser and the Seller Parties copies of related invoices and other statements.

(c) Security and Offset. Each of Purchase and the Seller Parties grant to Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties a security interest in, lien upon and right of offset against Escrow Funds with respect to any compensation or reimbursement due any of them hereunder (including any claim for indemnification hereunder). If for any reason Escrow Funds are insufficient to cover such compensation and reimbursement, Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall promptly pay such amounts to Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice.

13. Representations and Warranties. Purchaser and each Seller Party each respectively represent and warrant to Escrow Agent that (i) it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and

Page 6 of 15 (inclusive of Schedules A-D)

perform its obligations hereunder, and this Agreement has been duly approved by all necessary action and constitutes its valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (ii) each of the applicable persons designated on Schedule D hereto have been duly appointed to act as authorized representatives hereunder and individually have full power and authority to execute and deliver any Joint Written Direction, to amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement and to take any and all other actions as authorized representatives under this Agreement, provided that any change in designation of such authorized representatives shall be provided by written notice delivered to each party to this Agreement.

14. Identifying Information. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, charity, trust or other legal entity, Escrow Agent requires documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. Escrow Agent may ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. The parties acknowledge that a portion of the identifying information set forth herein is being requested by Escrow Agent in connection with the USA Patriot Act, Pub.L.107-56 (the “Act”), and each agrees to provide any additional information requested by Escrow Agent in connection with the Act or any other legislation or regulation to which Escrow Agent is subject, in a timely manner.

The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by Escrow Agent and shall be effective only after Escrow Agent has a reasonable opportunity to act on such changes. If Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the designated representatives identified in Schedule D, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized but shall be under no duty to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of Purchaser or the Seller Parties’ executive officers (“Executive Officers”), as the case may be, which shall include without limitation the titles of Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice President, Treasurer, General Partner and Managing Partner, as Escrow Agent may select. Such Executive Officer shall deliver to Escrow Agent a fully executed incumbency certificate, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer.

Escrow Agent may apply any of Escrow Funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank designated. Purchaser and the Seller Parties acknowledge that these optional security procedures are commercially reasonable.

18. Amendment, Waiver and Assignment. None of the terms or conditions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified, discharged, terminated or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by each party to this Agreement.

Page 8 of 15 (inclusive of Schedules A-D)

and conditions of this Agreement, unless such waiver is specified in writing, and then only to the extent so specified. A waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver of the other terms of this Agreement, or of such terms and conditions on any other occasion. Except as provided in Section 9 hereof, this Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the written consent of the other parties.

19. Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

23. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the distribution of all Escrow Funds pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, and Escrow Agent shall thereafter have no further obligation or liability whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or Escrow Funds.

24. Dealings. Escrow Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of Escrow Agent may buy, sell, and deal in any of the securities of Purchaser or the Seller Parties and become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which Purchaser or the Seller Parties may be interested, and contract and lend money to Purchaser or the Seller Parties and otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Escrow Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude Escrow Agent from acting in any other capacity for Purchaser or the Seller Parties or for any other entity.

25. Brokerage Confirmation Waiver. Purchaser and the Seller Parties acknowledge that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other regulatory entity grant them the right to receive brokerage confirmations for security transactions as they occur, Purchaser and the Seller Parties specifically waive receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law. Escrow Agent will furnish Purchaser and the Seller Parties periodic cash transaction statements that include detail for all investment transactions made by Escrow Agent.

26. Tax Reporting. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the tax consequences of this Agreement and Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall consult with independent counsel concerning any and all tax matters. Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall provide Escrow Agent IRS Form W-9 and IRS Form W-8, as applicable, for each payee, together with any other documentation and information requested by Escrow Agent in connection with Escrow Agent’s reporting obligations under applicable IRS regulations. If such tax documentation is not so provided, Escrow Agent may withhold taxes as required by the IRS. The Seller Parties and Purchaser have determined that any interest or income on Escrow Funds shall be reported on an accrual basis and deemed to be for the account of the Seller Parties. Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall prepare and file all required tax filings with the IRS and any other applicable taxing authority. Purchaser and the Seller Parties further agree that:

To the extent that IRS imputed interest regulations apply, Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall so inform Escrow Agent, provide Escrow Agent with all imputed interest calculations and direct Escrow Agent to disburse imputed interest amounts as Purchaser and the Seller Parties deem appropriate. Escrow Agent shall rely solely on such provided calculations and information and shall have no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any such calculations or information.

27. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

Investment Direction and Authorization

U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT

AUTHORIZATION, DESCRIPTION AND TERMS

The U.S. Bank Money Market account is a U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) interest-bearing money market deposit account designed to meet the needs of U.S. Bank’s Corporate Trust Services Escrow Group and other Corporate Trust customers of U.S. Bank. Selection of this investment includes authorization to place funds on deposit and invest with U.S. Bank.

U.S. Bank uses the daily balance method to calculate interest on this account (actual/365 or 366). This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal balance in the account each day. Interest is accrued daily and credited monthly to the account. Interest rates are determined at U.S. Bank’s discretion, and may be tiered by customer deposit amount.

The owner of the account is U.S. Bank as agent for its trust customers. U.S. Bank’s trust department performs all account deposits and withdrawals. Deposit accounts are FDIC Insured per depositor, as determined under FDIC Regulations, up to applicable FDIC limits.

AUTOMATIC AUTHORIZATION

In the absence of specific written direction to the contrary, U.S. Bank is hereby directed to invest and reinvest proceeds and other available moneys in the U.S. Bank Money Market Account. The U.S. Bank Money Market Account is a permitted investment under the operative documents and this authorization is the permanent direction for investment of the moneys until notified in writing of alternate instructions.

SCHEDULE C

Schedule of Fees for Services as Escrow Agent


A.		Administration Fee, One-Time:		$2,500

The one-time administration fee covers the routine duties of Escrow Agent associated with the administration of the account. Administration fees are payable in advance. In the event that the Agreement is not terminated within two years, then an additional administrative fee of $1,000 shall be due for each year or part thereof. This assumes that Escrow Agent will be directed to invest in an automated sweep vehicle available through Escrow Agent’s trust accounting system.


B.		Disbursement Processing Fees (if any):		$100 per disbursement in *excess* of twelve disbursements per year

The first twelve disbursements per year are included within the administration fee. Disbursement processing fees after twelve disbursements per year (if any) will billed in arrears. This includes payment by check or wire. This assumes that Escrow Agent will receive complete and accurate payment instructions, upon which it can conclusively rely.


C.		Out-of-Pocket Expenses (if any):		At Cost

Reimbursement of expenses associated with Escrow Agent’s acceptance, administration of, or performance under the Agreement, including without limitation fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants and other agents, tax preparation, reporting and filing, publications, and filing and recording fees, will be billed at cost.

Extraordinary services are responses to requests, inquiries or developments, or the carrying out of duties or responsibilities of an unusual nature, including termination, which may or may not be provided for in the governing documents, are not routine or undertaken in the ordinary course of business. Payment of fees for extraordinary services is appropriate where particular requests, inquiries or developments are unexpected, even if the possibility of such things could have been foreseen at the inception of the transaction. A reasonable charge will be assessed and collected based on the nature of the extraordinary service. At our option, these charges will be billed at a flat fee or at our hourly rate then in effect. Extraordinary services might include, without limitation, amendments or supplements, specialized reporting, non-routine calculations, foreign currency conversions, foreign wire transfers, use investments not automated with the Escrow Agent’s trust accounting system, and actual or threatened litigation or arbitration proceedings.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity we will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.
