(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.06, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall reimburse Operating Buyer for any CAFD Shortfall Amounts, but only to the extent of any funds remaining in the Escrow Account. Prior to any reimbursement, Operating Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a notice setting forth Operating Buyer’s good faith calculation of Adjusted Unlevered CAFD. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of the applicable spreadsheet substantially in the form set forth on Schedule 1.01(c) with respect to the calculation of such Adjusted Unlevered CAFD. Within five days of receipt of such notice, the Sellers’ Representative shall notify Operating Buyer whether it disputes such calculation of Adjusted Unlevered CAFD. The Operating Buyer shall provide to the Sellers’ Representative all supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representative with respect to the calculation of the CAFD Shortfall Amount.

In the event of any dispute arising under this Section 2.06 with respect to the CAFD Shortfall Amount in any Fiscal Year, senior management of Operating Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall, in good faith, attempt to resolve such dispute. If the parties are unable to so resolve such dispute within five Business Days, such dispute will be submitted to Deloitte LLP or such other national independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Operating Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (the “Neutral Accounting Arbitrator”).

The determination of the Neutral Accounting Arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties.

If the Neutral Accounting Arbitrator does not make its determination by the end of such 20 day period (other than by reason of Operating Buyer’s breach of its obligations under this Section 2.06(a)), Operating Buyer shall have the right to withdraw available funds from the Escrow Account for the applicable CAFD Shortfall Amount.

(a) The Holdco Closing Consideration, plus any assumed liabilities (and any other pertinent items), to the extent properly taken into account under the Code, shall be allocated among the assets of the Holdco Entities (for this purpose looking through entities that are disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes) in accordance with the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state or local law, as appropriate) (the “Holdco Allocation”). The Holdco Allocation shall be delivered by Holdco Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date for the Sellers’ Representative’s review and consent.

2.08 Specified Platform Equity Interests. On or prior to December 20, 2014, Holdco Buyer shall deliver to Blocker Parent and the Company a proposed list of Platform Equity Interests (“Nominated Entities”) with an aggregate amount of items of income and gain that would be allocable to the Blockers for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to the sale of the such Nominated Entities if such Nominated Entities were sold as Specified Platform Equity Interests pursuant to Section 2.03(a) equal to at least twice the higher of (i) $28.5 million and (ii) amount of the Blockers’ aggregate net operating losses at such time, as determined in good faith by Blocker Parent (the higher of the amounts in (i) and (ii) the “Target Amount”) and following delivery of such list, but no later than January 26, 2015, Blocker Parent in consultation with the Company shall elect and notify Holdco Buyer which of the Nominated Entities shall be sold pursuant to Section 2.03(a) provided that the aggregate amount of items of income and gain that would be allocable to the Blockers for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to such sale shall be equal to (a) not less than 90% of the Target Amount, and (b) not greater than 100% of the Target Amount. In the event that no combination of Nominated Entities can be chosen to satisfy both clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence, then, (x) if the 90% requirement in clause (a) of the preceding sentence is not satisfied, Holdco Buyer may, in its sole discretion, waive such requirement and (y) if the 100% requirement of clause (b) of the preceding sentence is not satisfied the parties will work in good faith (including providing reasonably requested

documentation to Holdco Buyer) to find a combination of Specified Platform Equity Interests that satisfies such requirement and on failure to mutually agree on such combination, Holdco Buyer may, in its sole discretion, either (i) purchase less than 100% of the membership interests of one or more Platform Entities in order to satisfy the requirements of clause (a) and clause (b) of the preceding sentence or (ii) waive any right to indemnification, including under this Agreement, for any Tax of a Blocker that is in excess of the Tax that would have been imposed on the Blocker if the aggregate amount of items of income and gain arising from the sale was equal to 100% of the Target Amount; provided that if, taking into account the foregoing, the requirements of both clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence cannot be satisfied, there shall be no sale of Specified Platform Equity Interests. In the event that either Blocker Parent or Holdco Buyer disagrees with the value of the aggregate amount of items of income and gain that would be allocable to the relevant Specified Platform Equity Interests, Blocker Parent and Holdco Buyer shall, in good faith, attempt to resolve such dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within 5 Business Days such parties shall submit such dispute to the Neutral Accounting Arbitrator and use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the independent accounting firm to make a final binding determination of such aggregate amounts within 20 days after its retention, which determination shall be binding and conclusive on such parties. The fees, costs and expenses of the Neutral Accounting Arbitrator in resolving such dispute shall be borne by the party which, in the conclusive judgment of the Neutral Accounting Arbitrator, is not the prevailing party. If the Closing is expected to occur before selection of the Nominated Entities that will be sold pursuant to Section 2.03 in accordance with this Section 2.08, Blocker Parent and Holdco Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to select such Nominated Entities before the Closing.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XI, subsequent to the Closing Date, (i) the Sellers shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buyers and their Affiliates against any liability, loss or reasonable attorneys’ fees or Action (collectively, “Losses” and individually, a “Loss”) that any of the foregoing suffers as a result of (1) any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties (each such breach a “Warranty Breach”) of the Company set forth in Article III (other than Section 3.18(b)(i)), (2) any breach or nonperformance by the Company of any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement made or to be performed by the Company, (3) the obligations of the applicable Company Entity under the terms of the Route 66 MIPSA and any out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby, (4) a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.18(b)(i) or the failure for any reason of the applicable Company Entity to obtain any Company Approval listed on Schedule 3.18 (each such event a “Company Approval Breach”) or (5) any Transaction Expenses that are not otherwise deducted from the Total Purchase Price at Closing, and (ii) each Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyers and their Affiliates against any Loss that any of the foregoing suffers as a result of (1) any Warranty Breach by such Seller set forth in Article IV or (2) any breach or nonperformance by such Seller of any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement made or to be performed by such Seller.

(i) any Warranty Breach by such Buyer set forth in Article V; or

(ii) any breach or nonperformance by such Buyer of any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

11.03 Third Party Claims.

The obligations and liabilities of an Indemnifying Party with respect to Losses resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (each, a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any Third Party Claim that might give rise to any Loss by the Indemnified Party, stating the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim, and the amount thereof to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third Party Claim, including any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument.

(b) From and after receipt of notice of a Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 11.03(a), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and conduct, at its own expense, the defense against the Third Party Claim in its own name or in the name of the Indemnified Party with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party has, based on the facts and circumstances available at the time, unconditionally acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and without prejudice to the amount of any Loss. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Third Party Claim and/or to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be included as part of any Loss incurred by the Indemnified Party and shall not be payable by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if the representation of any such Indemnified Party by the same counsel as the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate under applicable standards of profession conduct, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to appoint one separate counsel for such claims and defenses, at the reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The party or parties conducting the defense of any Third Party Claim shall keep the other parties apprised of all significant developments with respect thereto and shall not enter into any settlement, compromise or consent to judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the other parties thereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle, compromise or consent to a judgment without the consent of the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Claim that only imposes monetary obligations that are paid by the Indemnifying Party and contains a release of the Indemnified Party from all liability thereunder. The Indemnified Party shall make available all information and assistance for the defense of the Third Party Claim as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Buyer determines in good faith that an adverse determination with respect to a Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to be materially detrimental to the future business prospects or operations of the Operating Entities, taken as a whole, or Platform Entities, taken as a whole, such Buyer may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any compromise or settlement effected without its consent.

11.04 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) As to any claim for Warranty Breach (other than with respect to a claim for a breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation or a Company Approval Breach), or for indemnification by the Sellers for all matters pursuant to Sections 9.02(a), 9.02(b) and the last sentence of Section 9.03 the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification (i) with respect to any Loss or a series of related Losses for less than $100,000 and (ii) until all Losses (including any de minimis Loss excluded pursuant to the foregoing clause (i)) to such Indemnified Party exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to $10,000,000 and then only to the extent of such excess.

(b) With respect to indemnification by the Sellers for all matters under this Agreement, Buyers hereby agree that the sole recourse of the Indemnified Parties in respect of all such matters shall be, subject to Section 2.04(j) and this Section 11.04(b), a right of set-off against up to $100,000,000 of Earnout Project Payments, if any (the “Cap”) in accordance with Section 2.04(j), and the Indemnified Parties shall have no right to seek payment directly from the Sellers in respect of any such matters; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the remedies available to any Party for any breaches of Fundamental Representations and provided further that with respect to indemnification by Sellers for (1) all matters pursuant to Sections 3.09, 9.02(a), 9.02(b) and the last sentence of Section 9.03 (the “Tax Claims”) such right of set-off shall be the exclusive remedy provided that the Cap shall be increased by $50,000,000 solely with respect to Tax Claims and (2) the Company Approval Breaches, the maximum set off shall be equal to $10,000,000 (which amount shall be included in and not increase the Cap) and such right of set-off shall be the exclusive remedy for such Company Approval Breaches. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate amount paid by any Seller in respect of any claims hereunder exceed (i) such Seller’s pro rata portion of such indemnifiable claim (limited as provided in this Article XI) based on the allocation of the Holdco Closing Consideration set forth in the Allocation Schedule (provided that with respect to Warranty Breaches under Article IV, such Seller shall be liable, subject to this Article XI, for the full amount of any claim attributable to a breach by such Seller, but no other Seller shall be liable for any amount of any claim attributable to such breach; it being understood that Blocker Parent is solely responsible for the full amount of any claim for breach of Section 4.06) or (ii) the aggregate amount of proceeds received by such Seller hereunder as of the date of such claim; provided, however, that in the event the applicable portion of a claim that is timely and properly made and for which such Seller is liable to indemnify a Buyer Indemnitee, in each case under the provisions of this Article XI, exceeds the aggregate amount of proceeds received by such Seller on the date of such claim, any proceeds received by such Seller hereunder after the date of such claim may be used to satisfy such Seller’s unsatisfied indemnification obligation with respect to such claim.

(c) In no event shall a Buyer be liable for any Losses as to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.02(b)(i) with respect to Fundamental Representations or Section 11.02(b)(ii) in excess of an amount equal to 100% of the Total Purchase Price paid by Buyers as of such date.

(d) Solely for the purposes of this Article XI, from and after Closing any reference to “material”, “materially” or “Material Adverse Effect” in any representation or warranty (other than those representations and warranties in Sections 3.01(a), 3.03, 3.05(a), 3.08, 3.10(b), 3.13(a)) shall be disregarded solely for purposes of determining the amount of Losses attributable to any Warranty Breach, and for purposes of determining whether there has actually been a Warranty Breach.

(e) Buyers and the Sellers on behalf of each of their respective Indemnified Parties waives any right to recover incidental, indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, unless such incidental, indirect, special, exemplary, punitive, consequential or other kind of special damages are awarded to a Person in an indemnifiable Third Party Claim.

(f) Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder or otherwise to reimbursement for Losses in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith. If such Indemnified Party mitigates its Losses after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of that loss, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party and pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of the value of the benefit to the Indemnified Party of that mitigation (less the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs of mitigation) within two Business Days after the benefit is received, but such payment shall not exceed the indemnity payment paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(g) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage for any Losses payable under Section 11.02(a) or 11.02(b).

(h) Any Losses as to an indemnifiable claim with respect to any breach or nonperformance by a Party of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be calculated without reduction for any Tax Benefit available to the Indemnified Party. However, to the extent that the Indemnified Party actually realizes a Tax Benefit as a result of any Loss in any taxable year in which or prior to which such Loss was incurred, the Indemnified Party shall pay the amount of such Tax Benefit (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Loss) to the Indemnifying Party as such Tax Benefit is actually realized by the Indemnified Party. For this purpose, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to realize a tax benefit (“Tax Benefit”) with respect to a taxable year if, and to the extent that, the Indemnified Party’s cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributable to the Loss from all taxable years, exceeds the Indemnified Party’s actual cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to the Loss for all taxable years (to the extent permitted by relevant Tax law and treating such Tax items as the last items claimed for any taxable year).

(i) Any indemnifiable claim with respect to any breach or nonperformance by a Party of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be net of any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party or amounts actually recovered from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor (net of any costs of collection, increased premium or other out-of-pocket costs related to the insurance claim or third party recovery in respect of Losses). If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party (net of any costs of collection, increased premium or other out-of-pocket costs related to the insurance claim or third party recovery in respect of Losses).

(j) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Sellers will not be responsible for, and will not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Person against, any Losses to the extent (but only to such extent) that such Losses are otherwise included in the calculation of Adjusted Unlevered CAFD for the purpose of determining any CAFD Shortfall Amount under Section 2.06 or are Transaction Expenses that were deducted from the Holdco Total Purchase Price or the Operating Entities Total Purchase Price.

11.05 Assignment of Claims. If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 11.02(a) or 11.02(b) 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 recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment; provided that in exercising these rights, the Indemnifying Party shall consult in good faith with the Indemnified Party.

11.06 Remedies Exclusive. The indemnification rights of the Parties under this Article XI are the exclusive remedies after the Closing available to the Parties and any Indemnified Party with respect to any claims or disputes arising with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than claims involving fraud, with respect to which the Parties’ rights and remedies shall not be affected or diminished hereby; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall affect (i) the rights of the Parties under Section 12.13 with respect to any covenants to be performed after the Closing, (ii) the Sellers’ rights to contribution or other rights of recovery under or relating to any Environmental Law or (iii) the rights of Buyers under Section 2.06 with respect to any CAFD Shortfall Amount. After the Closing Date, no Party may seek the rescission of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

11.07 Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Financing Sources (in their capacity as such) shall not have any liability to the Company, Operating Seller, Blocker Parent, the Company Sellers or any of their

respective equity holders, representatives or Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the financing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Financing”) or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether at law or equity, in contract or in tort or otherwise, and the Company, Operating Seller, Blocker Parent, the Company Sellers and their respective equity holders, representatives and Affiliates shall not have any rights or claims, and shall not seek any loss or damage or any other recovery or judgment of any kind, including direct, indirect, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages, against any Financing Source (in its capacity as such) under this Agreement or the Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract or in tort or otherwise.

12.09 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not

invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, and in lieu of such prohibited or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such prohibited or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

12.10 Assignment.

(a) Subject to Section (b), the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are not assignable without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which such Parties may withhold in their discretion.

12.11 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the Parties may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement shall become effective when each Buyer, the Company, Operating Seller, Blocker Parent, the Sellers’ Representative and Company Members with a right to receive at least 95% of the Holdco Purchase Price shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties hereto. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). If required in order to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 7.01(k), Sponsors will exercise their drag along rights pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of the Company (as amended from time to time) and take all reasonable actions to enforce such rights. In the event that prior to Closing the Sellers’ Representative notifies Buyers that in order to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 7.01(k) it is desirable to effect the purchase of Company Interests by way of merger, the Parties shall, while preserving the rights and obligations of the Parties hereto, make such amendments to the terms of this Agreement as are required to give effect to a merger. No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that Section 6.10 (and the survival of such Section pursuant to Section 10.02), 6.12, 6.13, 6.14, 11.07, 12.06, 12.14, 12.15 and 12.16 and this Section 12.11 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the Persons named therein. After the date hereof, any Company Member who has not executed this Agreement on the date hereof, shall, upon execution and delivery to Buyers and the Sellers’ Representative of a form of joinder pursuant to which it acknowledges and consents to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions applicable to a Seller hereunder, shall be treated as a Seller for all purposes under this Agreement.

12.12 Disclosure. The Company has set forth information on the Disclosure Schedule in a section thereof that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it

relates. Information disclosed in any Disclosure Schedule shall constitute a disclosure for purposes of all other Disclosure Schedules notwithstanding the lack of specific cross-reference thereto, but only to the extent the applicability of such disclosure to such other Schedule is reasonably apparent on its face. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Disclosure Schedule may include certain items and information solely for informational purposes for the convenience of Buyers and (b) the disclosure by the Company of any matter in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment by the Company that the matter is required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement or that the matter is material.

12.13 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, money damages would not be a sufficient remedy and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms of this Agreement and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

12.14 Governing Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THAT STATE.

12.15 Consent to Jurisdiction.

Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such Action may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Party may otherwise have to bring any Action relating to this Agreement against the other Parties or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so:

(i) any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related matter in any New York state or federal court located in New York County; and

(ii) the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in any such court.

(c) Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process by registered mail, return receipt requested, as provided in Section 12.07. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

(d) Each Party agrees that it will not (and will cause its Affiliates not to) bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any forum other than the federal and New York State courts located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (and appellate courts thereof).

12.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION TO ENFORCE OR INTERPRET THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THAT OTHERWISE RELATES TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY LITIGATION AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

12.17 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) The Sellers’ Representative is hereby appointed as the representative of the Sellers and as the attorney-in-fact, proxy and agent for and on behalf of each such Seller for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and shall be empowered to take the following actions under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement: (i) all actions and making all filings on behalf of the Sellers with any Governmental Authority or other Person necessary to effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, (ii) agreeing to, negotiating, entering into settlements and compromises of, complying with orders of courts with respect to, and otherwise administering and handling any claims under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, (iii) negotiating and executing any waivers or amendments of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (provided, that any amendment that shall adversely and disproportionally affect the rights or obligations of any Seller as compared to other Sellers shall require the prior written consent of such Seller) and (iv) all other actions that are either necessary or appropriate in its judgment for the accomplishment of the foregoing or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Each of the Sellers agrees that such attorney-in-fact, proxy and agency and all authority granted hereunder are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Seller. If, after the execution of this Agreement, any Seller dies, dissolves or liquidates or becomes incapacitated or incompetent, then the Sellers’ Representative is nevertheless authorized, empowered and directed to act in accordance with this Agreement as if that death, dissolution, liquidation, incapacity or incompetency had not occurred and regardless of notice thereof.

(b) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative hereunder shall constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of all Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each Seller, and the Escrow Agent, and Buyers may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every Seller. The Escrow Agent and Buyers shall be relieved from any liability to any Seller for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative.

(c) The Sellers’ Representative shall incur no liability with respect to any action taken or suffered by any party in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by the Sellers’ Representative to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person (and the Sellers’ Representative shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity thereof), nor for any other action or inaction, except its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. In all questions arising under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative may rely on the advice of outside counsel, and the Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Sellers’ Representative based on such advice.

(d) The Sponsors shall, severally (each limited to its pro rata share based on the Allocation Schedule) but not jointly, indemnify the Sellers’ Representative and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, on the part of the Sellers’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Sellers’ Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel or other agents retained by the Sellers’ Representative.

(e) At any time during the term of the Escrow Agreement, the Sponsors, acting jointly, may, by written consent, appoint a new representative as the Sellers’ Representative. Notice, together with a copy of the written consent appointing such new representative and bearing the signature of each Sponsor, must be delivered to Buyers and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent not less than ten (10) days prior to such appointment. Such appointment shall be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by Buyers and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent. Until such notice is received, Buyers shall be entitled to rely on the actions and statements of the previous Sellers’ Representative.

(f) In the event that the Sellers’ Representative becomes unable or unwilling to continue in its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative, or if the Sellers’ Representative resigns as the Sellers’ Representative, the Sponsors, acting jointly, may, by written consent, appoint a new representative as the Sellers’ Representative. Notice and a copy of the written consent appointing such new representative and bearing the signature of each Sponsor must be delivered to Buyers and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent. Such appointment shall be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by Buyers and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent. Until such notice is received, Buyers shall be entitled to rely on the actions and statements of the previous Sellers’ Representative.
