(i)

If the estimate of Cash set forth in the Closing Statement is less than the Minimum Cash Amount, then at or prior to the Closing, Seller shall pay or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such difference to an account designated by the Purchaser.  If the estimate of Cash set forth in the Closing Statement is more than the Minimum Cash Amount, then at or prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause the Company to pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such difference to an account designated by the Seller (notwithstanding the limitation set forth in Section 6.02(b)(xix) hereof.)

(b) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser may deliver to Seller a statement (the "Purchaser Statement") setting forth Purchaser's good faith determination of Cash, Waste Fees Payable, Restricted Cash, Closing Debt Obligations, Quantified Support Obligations (subject to Section 2.02(a) and calculated using the same assumptions and methodologies used by the Company prior to Closing) and Transaction Expenses, in each case as of the close of business on the Closing Date (but without giving effect to the Closing or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement), if and to the extent Purchaser believes in good faith that any of such amounts set forth in the Closing Statement were incorrect and that the amount of the Seller Closing Payment would have been different had Purchaser's calculations been used to determine such amount.  Any Purchaser Statement shall also contain Purchaser's good faith calculation of the Seller Closing Payment, calculated utilizing Purchaser's good faith determination of the amounts of Cash, Waste Fees Payable, Restricted Cash, Closing Debt Obligations, Quantified Support Obligations and Transaction Expenses, in each case as of the close of business on the Closing Date (but without giving effect to the Closing or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement), to the extent any of such amounts differ from those set forth in the Closing Statement (the "Final Company Payment").  From and after the Closing, the Purchaser and the Company shall give the Seller and its Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, to the books and records, the accounting and other appropriate personnel in order to enable the Seller to obtain information relating to the preparation of, and to Seller's review of, the Purchaser Statement, each of the items contained therein and the supporting details and calculations thereof.  Any amounts of Cash, Waste Fees Payable, Restricted Cash, Closing Debt Obligations, Quantified Support Obligations or Transaction Expenses not included in the Purchaser Statement or if no Purchaser Statement is timely delivered to Seller, the amounts reflected on the Closing Statement shall be final and binding and non-appealable on, and any further objections are hereby waived by, the Parties for all purposes hereunder.

(c) If the Seller delivers a notice to the Purchaser within forty-five (45) days following the delivery of the Purchaser Statement objecting to any item in the Purchaser Statement, which such notice shall set forth Seller's objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller's disagreement therewith (the "Objection"), the Purchaser and the Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such Objection within thirty (30) days thereafter (the "Negotiation Period"). Any component set forth in the Purchaser Statement not included in the Objection shall be deemed final and binding and non-appealable on, and any further objections are hereby waived by, the Parties for all purposes hereunder.

(i)

If the Purchaser and the Seller agree in writing prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period on a resolution of any of the Objections, the payment provided for in Section 2.02(d) shall utilize such agreed amounts which shall be final and binding and non-appealable on, and any further objections are hereby waived by, the Parties for all purposes hereunder.

(ii)

If the Purchaser and the Seller do not agree in writing prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period on a resolution of all of the Objections, the items that remain in dispute (but no other matters) shall be submitted to an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller (the "Final Arbiter").  The Final Arbiter shall make a final, binding and non-appealable determination as to all Objections not previously resolved by the Seller and the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 2.02 and the definitions of the items to be set forth in the Purchaser Statement and shall determine the amount of the Final Company Payment.  The resolution of the Objections and the Final Company Payment shall become final, binding and non-appealable on, and any further objections are hereby waived by, the Parties on the date the Final Arbiter delivers its written, final resolution to the Parties.  The Final Arbiter's decision for each Objection must be within the range of values assigned each such item in the Purchaser Statement and the notice of Objections, respectively.  All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Final Arbiter (including any retainer) shall be borne by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, in inverse proportion to the dollar amount of the matters in dispute as to which such Party prevails as finally determined by the Final Arbiter as compared to the total dollar amount in dispute submitted to the Final Arbiter, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Final Arbiter at the time it renders its determination.

(d) No later than five (5) days after a binding determination of the Final Company Payment has been made in accordance with this Section 2.02:

(i)	if the Final Company Payment is greater than the Seller Closing Payment, then the Seller shall make a payment equal to such excess in immediately available funds to such account or accounts as designated in writing by the Purchaser; and

(ii)	if the Seller Closing Payment is greater than the Final Company Payment, the Purchaser shall make a payment equal to such excess in immediately available funds to such account or accounts as designated in writing by the Seller.

Section 2.03 Closing.  The Closing shall take place at the offices of Baker Botts L.L.P., counsel to Seller, at 2001 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75201, or at such other place as Purchaser and Seller shall mutually agree in writing, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time, on the Closing Date.  At the Closing, the Parties shall cause the transactions described in Section 2.01 to occur and shall, as applicable, deliver the other documents and instruments to be delivered under ARTICLE 7 and ARTICLE 8, and Seller shall deliver to the Company originals (if available) or true, correct and complete copies of all books and records of the Company that are in the Possession of Seller and not already in the possession of the Company.

(c) With respect to each welfare benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained, sponsored or contributed to by Purchaser after the Closing (collectively, the "Purchaser Welfare Benefit Plans") in which any Company Employee may be eligible to participate on or after the Closing, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive, or cause its affiliates or insurance carrier to waive, all limitations as to preexisting conditions, actively-at-work requirements, exclusions and waiting periods, if any, with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Company Employee to the same extent satisfied or waived under a comparable Benefit Plan, and (ii) provide or cause its affiliates to provide full credit to each Company Employee for any co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid by such Company Employee under the comparable Benefit Plan during the relevant plan year up to and including the Closing as if such amounts had been paid under such Purchaser Welfare Benefit Plan.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.04 to the contrary, nothing contained herein, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an establishment, amendment or other modification of any Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan of Purchaser or any of its affiliates, or shall limit the right of Purchaser or any of its affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan following the Closing Date.  Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.04 are included for their sole benefit, and that nothing in this Section 6.04, whether express or implied, shall create any Third Party beneficiary or other rights: (i) in any other Person, including any Company Employee or former employee, any participant in any Benefit Plan or employee benefit plan of Purchaser or any of its affiliates, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (ii) to continued employment with Purchaser or any of its affiliates or to any particular term or condition of employment.

(b) Without limiting Section 6.06(a), from and after the Closing, with respect to any Property that, immediately prior to the Closing, is (i) used or held for use exclusively by the Company for the conduct of the business the Company as currently conducted and (ii) owned or in which a controlling interest is held by Seller or any Non-Company Affiliate and was not included in the assets owned by the Company as of the Closing (each, an "Additional Company Asset"), Seller will (or will cause any Non-Company Affiliate to), within five (5) Business Days of the request of Purchaser, convey to the Company, at no additional cost to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) all of the rights, title and interests of Seller (or relevant Non-Company Affiliate) in respect of such Additional Company Assets (subject to obtaining all necessary consents or approvals required for the same, and Seller hereby agrees to use Seller's commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such consents or approvals).  Seller further agrees that all Additional Company Assets transferred or licensed to the Company will be free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), and that each representation, warranty, covenant and indemnity of Seller in this Agreement that applied to such Property also will apply to the Additional Company Assets.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Additional Company Assets will not include any Property that, prior to the Closing, was used to provide any Services (as that term is defined in the Transition Services Agreement).

(c) Following the Closing, each Party shall afford the other Party (at such other Party's sole cost and expense) and its Representatives, during normal business hours, reasonable access (but only to the extent that such access does not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of such Party or its Affiliates), upon reasonable prior notice, to the books, records and other data relating to the business or financial or operating condition of the Company in its possession with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, to the extent that such access may be reasonably required by the requesting Party in connection with (i) compliance with the requirements of any Governmental Authority or (ii) any Action (other than any Action between the Parties or their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement); provided, however, that (A) a Party shall have the right to (1) have a Representative present to monitor such access and (2) impose reasonable restrictions and requirements on such access for safety purposes and (B) the disclosing Party shall not be required to provide access to any information (1) that is subject to attorney client privilege to the extent doing so would cause such privilege to be waived (provided that such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow for such access (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege), or (2) if the provision of access, as reasonably determined in writing by such Party's outside counsel, would reasonably be prohibited by Applicable Law.  A party receiving any such access and information pursuant to this Section 6.06(c) shall maintain such information in confidence.  Further, Purchaser agrees for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, not to destroy or otherwise dispose of any books, records and other data unless it first offers by notice to Seller to surrender such books, records and other data to Seller and Seller does not agree in writing to take possession thereof, at its cost and expense, during the ten (10) day period after such offer is made.

(d) If, in order to properly prepare its Tax Returns, other documents or reports required to be filed with Governmental Authorities or its financial statements or to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, it is necessary that Seller be furnished with additional information, documents or records relating to the business or financial or operating condition of the Company, and such information, documents or records are in the possession or control of Purchaser or its Affiliates, Purchaser agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish or make available such information, documents or records (or copies thereof) at Seller's request, cost and expense.

To the extent any such claim is subject to an other than per claim deductible, such deductible shall be applied pro rata against such claim based on the total amount of claims made against such insurance policy in the applicable period.  Purchaser or the Company will reimburse Seller or its Non-Company Affiliates, as applicable, for any documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller or its Non-Company Affiliates from and after the Closing as a result of assisting Purchaser or the Company in seeking any such insurance proceeds.

(b) Upon receipt by an Indemnifying Entity of a Claim Notice in respect of an action or claim of a Third Party, the Indemnifying Entity shall be entitled to assume and have sole control over the defense of such action or claim at its sole cost and expense (subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.04(b)) and with its own counsel but only if (i) it gives notice of its intention to assume the defense of such action or claim with counsel of its own choosing within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such Claim Notice from the Indemnified Entity (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Entity's retention of counsel shall be subject to the written consent of the Indemnified Entity, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) the Third Party Claim does not seek injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy against an Indemnified Entity or involve criminal charges, (iii) the Indemnifying Entity does not fail to diligently conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, (iv) the Third Party Claim, if adversely determined, would not result in ongoing limitations on the conduct of the business that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impact the ability to operate the business of the Company or that would materially and adversely impact the ownership or control by the Purchaser of the Company, (vi) no conflict of interest in the conduct of the defense exists between the Indemnifying Entity and the Indemnified Entity other than any conflict of interest arising out of the parties' relationship under this Agreement, (vii) the assumption of the defense by the Indemnifying Entity is not reasonably likely to cause an Indemnified Purchaser Entity to lose coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy and the R&W Insurance Policy does not otherwise require the insurer under such policy or the Indemnified Purchaser Entity to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Entity assumes the defense of any such claim or litigation arising therefrom, the Indemnified Entity shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Entity's request) the provision to the Indemnifying Entity of records and information that are reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Entity or that are reasonably relevant to such claim or litigation, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis during normal business hours to provide reasonable additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  If the Indemnifying Entity assumes the defense of such claim or litigation, the Indemnified Entity may participate in such defense at the Indemnified Entity's expense, which shall include counsel of its choice.  If the Indemnifying Entity assumes the defense of such a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Entity shall be entitled to negotiate a settlement or compromise of such action or claim; provided, however, that (x) such settlement or compromise shall only involve the payment of monetary damages by the Indemnifying Entity (without any admission of guilt or equitable remedy) and shall include a full and unconditional waiver and release by the Third Party of all Indemnified Entities, and (y) any such settlement or compromise that does not satisfy the requirements of clause (x) shall be permitted only with the written consent of the Indemnified Entity, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and it will not be deemed unreasonable to withhold consent if such settlement or compromise would materially and adversely impact the business of the Indemnified Entity or its Affiliates (including, with respect to an Indemnified Purchaser Entity after the Closing, the Company).  If, within thirty (30) days of receipt from an Indemnified Entity of any Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party action or claim, the Indemnifying Entity (i) advises such Indemnified Entity in writing that the Indemnifying Entity shall not elect to defend, settle or compromise such action or claim, (ii) is not entitled to assume and Control the defense of such action or claims or (iii) fails to make such an election in writing, such Indemnified Entity may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim; provided, however, that any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted only with the written consent of the Indemnifying Entity, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Unless and until the Indemnifying Entity makes an election in accordance with this Section 9.04(b) to defend, settle or compromise such action or claim, all of the Indemnified Entity's reasonable costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action or claim shall be Indemnifiable Losses subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE 9 and, if applicable, shall be borne by the Indemnifying Entity and payable monthly or as legal bills are received by the Indemnified Entity and tendered to the Indemnifying Entity.  Each Indemnified Entity shall make available to the Indemnifying Entity all information reasonably available to such Indemnified Entity relating to such action or claim, except as may be prohibited by Applicable Law.  In addition, the Parties shall render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such action or claim.  The Party in charge of the defense shall keep the other Parties fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.

Section 9.05 Indemnification Generally.

(a) The amount that the Indemnifying Entity is or may be required to pay to any Indemnified Entity pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually realized (including under the R&W Insurance Policy) by or on behalf of such Indemnified Entity or any of its Affiliates related to the applicable Indemnifiable Losses, net of out-of-pocket costs and expenses of obtaining such insurance proceeds (which shall not include any applicable premiums or deductibles).  If an Indemnified Entity shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from the Indemnifying Entity in respect of Indemnifiable Losses and shall subsequently receive insurance proceeds in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses, then such Indemnified Entity shall promptly repay to the Indemnifying Entity a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds actually received, net of costs and expenses of obtaining such insurance proceeds.

(b) With respect to claims for Indemnifiable Losses subject to Section 9.02, the Indemnified Purchaser Entity shall first, to the extent applicable and available, seek recourse to the R&W Insurance Policy until remedies thereunder have been exhausted prior to seeking indemnification under this ARTICLE 9; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Entity to first seek recourse to the R&W Insurance Policy shall only reduce the rights of the Indemnified Entity to recover for Indemnifiable Losses to the extent of the Indemnifiable Losses that would have been avoided by first seeking recourse to the R&W Insurance Policy; provided, further, that nothing herein shall release Seller of any obligations with respect to Indemnifiable Losses to the extent subject to a retention or deductible under the R&W Insurance Policy.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent any claim for indemnification by any Indemnified Purchaser Entity may be made in whole or in part pursuant to both Section 9.02(a) and any other subsection of Section 9.02, such Indemnified Purchaser Entity shall first seek recourse under Section 9.02(a) until remedies thereunder have been exhausted prior to seeking indemnification under any other subsection of Section 9.02 and all Indemnifiable Losses subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Indemnifiable Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or being addressed by more than one clause under Section 9.02.

(c) In addition to the requirements of Section 9.05(a), each Indemnified Entity shall be obligated in connection with any claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE 9 that is not made under the R&W Insurance Policy to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Indemnifiable Losses in accordance with the requirements of Applicable Law upon and after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to such Indemnifiable Losses; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Entity to so mitigate shall only reduce the rights of the Indemnified Entity to recover for Indemnifiable Losses to the extent of the Indemnifiable Losses that would have been avoided by such mitigation.

(d) Except in the case of actual fraud, Section 2.02 and specific performance or injunctive relief in connection with enforcing any post-Closing rights or obligations hereunder or as otherwise set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 9 shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any Party in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.  The Parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any and all rights they may have to make any Claims (other than claims and causes of action based on actual fraud) other than pursuant to this ARTICLE 9, Section 2.02, Section 13.13 or any Ancillary Agreement, including under statute, common law, tort or equity, as a result of any Indemnifiable Losses and all other damages incurred by the Indemnified Purchaser Entities or Indemnified Seller Entities, as the case may be.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except in the case of actual fraud or as provided in Section 9.02(a), the R&W Insurance Policy shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any Person with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement other than the Indemnifiable Reps set forth in this Agreement or the Indemnifiable Reps set forth in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.03, subject, in the case of Section 9.02(a) to the limitations contained in this ARTICLE 9, including Section 9.05(b).  Except in the case of actual fraud, Seller shall have no obligation or liability to Purchaser or any other Person with respect to losses arising under or in connection with a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (other than the Indemnifiable Reps set forth in this Agreement or the Indemnifiable Reps set forth the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.03, which are subject to Section 9.05(b)).  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or modify any rights of any Indemnified Purchaser Entities under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Party shall be liable for special, punitive, exemplary, incidental, consequential or indirect damages or lost profits, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Applicable Law or otherwise and whether or not arising from the other Party's sole, joint or concurrent negligence, strict liability or other fault for any matter relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that any such damages, lost profits or losses are (i) the reasonably foreseeable result of the relevant breach of this Agreement (which for the avoidance of doubt will not include punitive or exemplary damages) or (ii) paid or payable to third parties in respect of third-party claims for which any Party is obligated to indemnify another Party under this ARTICLE 9.

(g) Seller (i) expressly waives any rights of indemnification of Seller or any of its Non-Company Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives against the Company for acts, circumstances, and events that give rise to indemnification obligations of Seller hereunder and (ii) agrees and acknowledges that neither Seller nor any of its Non-Company Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives will have any right of contribution from, or right of subrogation against, the Company in the event Seller is required to take, or refrain from taking, any action, whether by the payment of money or otherwise, as a result of this ARTICLE 9.

(h) Any payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 shall be deemed to be, and each of Seller and Purchaser shall treat such payments as, an adjustment to the purchase price for United States federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

Section 10.01 Non-Solicitation of Employees.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.01, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly hire or solicit any Company Employee to leave his or her employment in order to accept employment with Seller Guarantor, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, or to engage as an independent contractor or consultant thereto; provided, however, that, soliciting any Person through a general solicitation (through advertising, electronic means or similar methods) that is not targeted at any such Company Employee (and any subsequent hiring of such employee who responds to any such solicitation) shall not, in and of itself, constitute a breach of the provisions of this Section 10.01; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not preclude or otherwise restrict Seller or any of its Affiliates from hiring or employing, or having employment or hiring discussions with, any such Person (i) who is not then employed by the Company or its subsidiaries and whose employment terminated prior to any direct or indirect solicitation by the Seller Guarantor, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, or (ii) who contacts Seller Guarantor, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates for employment without any direct or indirect solicitation by Seller Guarantor, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 10.02 Agreement Not to Compete.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.02, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly invest in, finance, control, operate or engage in the business of treatment, storage, transportation or disposal of hazardous or radioactive waste, (the "Restricted Business") in the United States, which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, treatment, storage, transportation or disposal of Class A, Class B, Class C or greater than Class C waste, depleted uranium, waste for which a disposal exemption has been granted under 10 CFR 20.2002 (or a state law equivalent) and Spent Nuclear Fuel.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 10.02 shall not prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from acquiring, holding and disposing of not more than 5% of any Person who conducts any business that constitutes Restricted Business and whose capital stock is publicly traded at the time it is acquired by Seller or any of its Affiliates.

Section 10.03 Non-Disparagement.  From and after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, alone or in connection with any Person, engage in any conduct or make any statement, whether in commercial or non-commercial speech, that disparages, criticizes or is injurious to the reputation of the other Party, its Affiliates (including, with respect to Purchaser after the Closing, the Company) or its Representatives, including (a) inducing or encouraging others to disparage any other party hereto, its Affiliates (including, with respect to Purchaser after the Closing, the Company) or its Representatives or (b) making or causing to be made any statement that maligns the business, goodwill, personal or professional reputation of any other party hereto, its Affiliates (including, with respect to Purchaser after the Closing, the Company) or its Representatives.  This Section 10.03 shall not limit (i) any of the Parties' ability to respond to subpoenas or Actions pursuant to ARTICLE 9, (ii) any enforcement of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Seller Guarantee or (iii) any required disclosure under Applicable Law.

Section 10.04 Acknowledgment.  Each of the Parties acknowledges that the periods of restriction and the restraints imposed by the provisions of this ARTICLE 10 are fair and reasonably required for the protection of the Parties.  If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this ARTICLE 10 is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope or duration of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision and this Agreement shall be enforceable against the Parties as so modified.  The Parties agree that any violation of the covenants contained in ARTICLE 10 is likely to cause irreparable damage to the non-breaching Party and consequently, in addition to any other remedies the non-breaching Party may have under this Agreement or otherwise, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an injunction restraining the breaching Party or its Affiliates from committing or continuing any violation of ARTICLE 10 without the requirement of posting any bond or other indemnity.

Section 11.01 Tax Returns.

(a) Tax Reporting.  Purchaser and Seller shall, for United States federal income Tax purposes (and, to the extent permissible, for state and local income Tax purposes), treat the purchase and sale of the Subject Securities pursuant to this Agreement as the purchase and sale of the assets of the Company, and shall report the purchase and sale on all income Tax Returns consistently with such treatment.

(b) Seller Tax Returns.  Seller shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared and timely filed, in a manner consistent with past practice, all (i) Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) Tax Returns required to be filed on behalf of the Company after the Closing Date that include tax items of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods or Pre-Closing Straddle Periods which are required to be reflected on state unitary or combined Tax Returns of Seller Guarantor or its Affiliates (other than the Company).  Seller shall deliver any such Tax Return described in clause (i), or a pro forma reflecting tax items of the Company in the case of Tax Returns described in clause (ii), to Purchaser in the form proposed for filing at least five (5) Business Days prior to filing and shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments provided by Purchaser with respect thereto; provided, further, that neither Seller nor any of its Non-Company Affiliates shall file or cause to be filed any such Tax Return relating to any period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date without Purchaser's prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Purchaser Tax Returns.  Following the Closing, Purchaser shall cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns (other than those specified in Section 11.01(b)) required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Pre-Closing Straddle Periods, and shall be responsible for the timely payment of all Taxes shown due thereon, subject to reimbursement by Seller pursuant to Section 11.05; provided, however, that Purchaser shall deliver any such Tax Return to Seller in the form proposed for filing at least five (5) Business Days prior to filing and shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments provided by Seller with respect thereto; provided, further, that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall file or cause to be filed any such Tax Return relating to any period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date without Seller's prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned of delayed).

Section 11.02 Cooperation.

(a) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate fully, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by either Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 11.02 and any audit, litigation or administrative proceeding (each a "Tax Proceeding") with respect to such Tax Returns.  Such cooperation shall include (upon a Party's request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(b) Purchaser and Seller shall within fifteen (15) days of receipt notify the other in writing of the receipt by them or any of their Affiliates of written notice of any inquires, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes of the Company relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Pre-Closing Straddle Period.

(c) Seller shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding (or portion of any Tax Proceeding) to the extent Seller would be responsible, either pursuant to Applicable Law or pursuant to ARTICLE 9, for the liabilities arising from such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding to the extent that the outcome of such Tax Proceeding could adversely impact Purchaser or the Company for taxable periods beginning on or after the Closing Date, (ii) Seller shall keep Purchaser informed of the progress of such Tax Proceeding (including by providing copies of any material written correspondence in connection therewith) and (iii) Seller shall not settle or compromise such Tax Proceeding without Purchaser's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be entitled to control in their sole discretion (and Purchaser shall not be entitled to participate in, be informed of or consent to) any Tax Proceeding with respect to any consolidated federal Tax Returns in which Seller is included.

(d) Purchaser shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding (or portion of a Tax Proceeding) that is not controlled by Seller pursuant to Section 11.02(c); provided, however, that to the extent any such Tax Proceeding relates to Straddle Period Taxes or to any other Taxes for which Seller would be responsible, either pursuant to Applicable Law or pursuant to ARTICLE 9, then (i) Seller shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding, (ii) Purchaser shall keep Seller informed of the progress of such Tax Proceeding (including by providing copies of any material written correspondence in connection therewith) and (iii) Purchaser shall not settle or compromise such Tax Proceeding without Seller's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) In the event of any inconsistency between this Section 11.02 and Section 9.04, this Section 11.02 shall govern.

Section 11.03 Transfer Taxes.  In the event that any Transfer Taxes (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any Taxes based on or measured by income or gains) are payable in connection with the sale of the Subject Securities, all such Transfer Taxes shall be borne by Seller.  If Purchaser is required by Applicable Law to pay any such Transfer Taxes, Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of written request from Purchaser for the full amount of such Transfer Taxes.  Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate and consult with each other prior to filing any Tax Returns for Transfer Taxes in order to minimize any such Transfer Taxes and to ensure that all such Tax Returns are filed in a consistent manner.

Section 11.04 Tax Sharing or Similar Agreement.  Any Tax sharing or similar agreement between the Company on the one hand and Seller or any of Seller's Affiliates (other than the Company) on the other hand shall terminate as of the Closing Date, and no party thereto shall have any rights or obligations thereunder with respect to any past, current or future Tax period.

Section 11.05 Reimbursement of Certain Taxes.  Any Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes that are the subject of Section 11.03) of the Company that are due and payable with respect to any Tax period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a "Straddle Period") will be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period that ends at the end of the day on the Closing Date (the "Pre-Closing Straddle Period") and the portion of the Straddle Period that begins on the day after the Closing Date as follows: (i) in the case of any ad valorem real estate and personal property Taxes, on a per diem basis and (ii) in the case of any other Taxes, as determined from the books and records of the Company as though the taxable period of the Company terminated on the Closing Date.  Seller shall reimburse and pay over to Purchaser the amount of any Taxes actually due and payable with respect to a Pre-Closing Straddle Period within ten (10) days of receipt of written request from Purchaser therefore (but in no case earlier than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the relevant Taxes are required to be paid to the relevant Tax authority).

Section 11.06 Refunds.  Any Tax refund (including any credit in lieu thereof and any interest received in respect thereof) received by Purchaser or the Company, in each case that relate to Taxes of the Company attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle Period, shall be for the account of Seller (but only to the extent the relevant Taxes were paid by Seller or were paid by the Company prior to the Closing), and Purchaser shall pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within thirty (30) days after receipt or the application of any such refund or credit to reduce a Tax Liability of Purchaser, the Company or any Affiliate thereof, and net of any Taxes or other out-of-pocket costs and expenses attributable to the obtaining and receipt of such refund or credit.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.06 to the contrary, no such refund or credit shall be for the account of Seller to the extent such amount arises as the result of a carryback of a loss, credit or other Tax benefit or attributable from a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date.  To the extent such refund or credit is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Taxing Authority, Seller agrees promptly to repay the amount of such refund or credit, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Taxing Authority, to Purchaser.

Section 11.07 Post-Closing Actions.  Neither Purchaser nor the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) shall (a) amend any Tax Return or settle any Tax Proceeding with respect to the Company that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Pre-Closing Straddle Period, or (b) make any Tax election with respect to the Company that is retroactive to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Pre-Closing Straddle Period, in each case of (a) and (b) above, that would reasonably be expected to increase Seller's indemnification obligation under Section 9.02, without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 11.08

Tax Certificates.  At or prior to the Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser (a) an affidavit dated as of the Closing Date, in the form required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2) and signed under penalties of perjury, stating that Seller is not a foreign person (within the meaning of Section 1445 of the Code) and (b) a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9.

Section 12.01 Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned at any time, by notice pursuant to Section 13.07 (except that no notice need be given if termination is pursuant to Section 12.01(a)):

(a) by mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

(b) by either Seller or Purchaser:

(i)	if the Closing has not occurred on or before January 19, 2018 (the "Termination Date") and the failure of the Closing to occur is not caused by a breach of this Agreement by the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.01(b)(i); or

(ii)

if any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or other Governmental Authority shall have issued a final Order or taken any other final action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Order or other Action is or shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.01(b)(ii) shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry of and to remove such Order or final Action;

(c) by Purchaser if there has been a material breach by Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that (i)(A) remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice by Purchaser thereof or (B) cannot be cured prior to the Termination Date and (ii) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in ARTICLE 7;

(d) by Seller if there has been a material breach by Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that (i)(A) remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice by Seller thereof or (B) cannot be cured prior to the Termination Date and (ii) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in ARTICLE 8; or

(e) by Seller if (i) the then scheduled Termination Date has past and the Closing has not occurred, (ii) the conditions set forth in Sections 7.05 or 7.06 are not satisfied, (iii) there has been a knowing and material breach by Purchaser of its covenants and agreements in Sections 6.03 or 6.07 and such breach is the proximate cause of the failure of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.05 or 7.06 from being satisfied, and (iv) Seller is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the Omnibus Reconveyance Agreement.

Section 12.02 Effect of Termination.  If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 12.01, (a) this Agreement shall become null and void, except that this ARTICLE 12, and ARTICLE 13 shall continue to apply following any such termination, and (b) there shall be no Liability on the part of either Seller or any member of the Purchaser Group (or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates) in respect of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Equity Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or hereby, except as provided in this ARTICLE 12; provided, however, that, except in connection with the payment of the Termination Fee in the circumstances described below in Section 12.03, nothing in this Section 12.02 shall release any Party from Liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement by such Party prior to the termination of this Agreement or fraud.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller, on behalf of itself, the Company and its other Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives, acknowledges and agrees that neither it nor any such other Persons shall have any rights or Claims against any Debt Financing Source (and any of their respective Related Persons) for any Liability suffered as a result of the failure of the Closing to occur, any breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement (whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise) or the failure of the transactions contemplated herein to be consummated.

Section 12.03 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that (i) the Closing fails to occur due to a material breach by Purchaser hereunder that gives rise to a right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 12.01(e) and (ii) all of the conditions to Purchaser's obligations to proceed with the Closing under ARTICLE 7 have been satisfied or waived (other than (A) such conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied on the Closing Date, but assuming such condition were capable of being satisfied as of the date of termination, and (B) such conditions where Purchaser's material breach was the proximate cause of the failure of any such conditions being satisfied) (collectively, a "Purchaser Failure to Close"), then Purchaser (or the Equity Investor pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter) shall, upon termination of this Agreement by the Seller pursuant to Section 12.01(e), pay to Seller in immediately available funds by wire transfer no later than two (2) Business Days after a written demand by Seller therefor, a fee of three million dollars ($3,000,000) (the "Termination Fee"), as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, it being understood that in no event shall Purchaser be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the terms set forth herein and in the Equity Commitment Letter, in the event there is a Purchaser Failure to Close and Seller demands and receives the Termination Fee from Purchaser (or the Equity Investor pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter), the payment of the Termination Fee shall be the sole remedy of Seller and its Affiliates against any member of the Purchaser Group for, and no member of the Purchaser Group shall have, any Liability or obligation for, and Seller and its Affiliates shall not otherwise make any Claim for, any matter under, relating to or arising out of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Equity Commitment Letter or any other Contract, document or agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Applicable Laws or otherwise, or any Claim, based on, in respect of, or by reason of any of the foregoing.  The pursuit by Seller of specific performance to consummate the Closing hereunder shall not be deemed to waive Seller's rights to demand and receive the Termination Fee hereunder; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of an Order of specific performance or other equitable relief to cause the consummation of the Closing and (ii) payment of the Termination Fee.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 12.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty, and that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the agreements in this Section 12.03.

Section 13.01 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement supersede all prior discussions and agreements between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of hereof and thereof and contain the sole and entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 13.02 Expenses.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, each Party shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Seller shall be responsible for and pay all Transaction Expenses incurred by it of any of its Affiliates (including the Company).

Section 13.03 Confidentiality.  Unless and until the Closing occurs, the Parties shall abide by the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement.  From and after the Closing, Seller shall hold, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to hold, in strict confidence from any other Person all information and documents relating to the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall limit the disclosure by any Party of any information (a) to the extent required by Applicable Law or judicial process (provided that if permitted by Applicable Law, each Party agrees to give the other Party prompt prior written notice of such disclosure in sufficient time to permit such other Party to obtain a protective order or seek another appropriate remedy and such written notice must include, without limitation, identification of the information to be disclosed, and the disclosing Party shall cooperate and assist the other Party in seeking such protective order or other remedy), (b) in connection with any litigation to which such Party is a party (provided that such Party has taken all reasonable actions to limit the scope and degree of disclosure in any such litigation), (c) in an Action brought by such Party in pursuit of its rights or in the exercise of its remedies under this Agreement, (d) to the extent that such documents or information can be shown to have come within the public domain through no action or omission of such Party or its Affiliates, and (e) to such Party's Affiliates; provided, however, that such Party shall be liable for any breach of this Section 13.03 by its Affiliates or Representatives to whom such information is disclosed.  In the event this Agreement is terminated under Section 12.01, upon the request of any Party, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives to, promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such request) redeliver or destroy, or cause to be redelivered or destroyed, all copies of confidential documents and information furnished by the other Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and destroy or cause to be destroyed all notes, memoranda, summaries, analyses, compilations and other writings related to or based on such information or documents prepared by such Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may maintain a copy of any information in such Party's restricted access files, to the extent required by such Party's document retention policy, for the purpose of (i) anticipated litigation, (ii) regulatory compliance or (iii) corporate record keeping.  No Party shall be required to erase or otherwise destroy any information retained in electronic format that has been created pursuant to automatic archiving or back-up procedures.  Effective as of the Closing Date, all of the obligations of NorthStar Group Services, Inc., Purchaser, J.F. Lehman & Company and the Debt Financing Sources and their respective Affiliates and Representatives pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement will be terminated.

Section 13.04 Announcements.  No press release or other public announcement, regulatory filing, statement or comment relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the terms of this Agreement shall be issued or made by any Party without the consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that any such press release or other public announcement, regulatory filing, statement or comment made without such consent shall not be in violation of this Section 13.04 if it is issued or made to ensure that the disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates is in compliance with Applicable Laws or stock exchange rules and, in the reasonable judgment of the Party making such release or announcement, based upon advice of counsel, such consent would prevent dissemination of such public announcement, regulatory filing, statement or comment in a sufficiently timely fashion to comply with such Applicable Laws or rules; provided, further that in all instances, prompt notice of any such public announcement, regulatory filing, statement or comment shall be given to the other Party by the disclosing Party.  Seller and Purchaser shall inform their Affiliates that may be involved in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of the requirements set forth in this Section 13.04 and shall make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain compliance with the provisions of this Section 13.04 from such Affiliates.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, each Party, its Affiliates and its Representatives may make announcements regarding, or otherwise provide information about the subject matter of, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to its respective directors, officers, employees, financial and legal advisors, independent auditors, and current and potential investors (other than, in the case of Seller, investors who hold publicly traded Equity Securities in Seller or any Non-Company Affiliate) and limited partners without the consent of the other Party.

Section 13.05 No Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of any Party to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, remedy, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Applicable Law.

Section 13.06 Amendments.  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented or waived only by an instrument in writing duly executed by Seller and Purchaser.  Any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be for such period and subject to such conditions as shall be specified in the instrument effecting the same and shall be binding upon Seller and Purchaser.

Section 13.07 Addresses for Notices.  All notices and other communications required to be given or made in writing pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly given or made as of the date delivered or sent if delivered personally, by e-mail or by facsimile (solely if a copy thereof is subsequently delivered by overnight courier within one (1) Business Day) on the next Business Day if sent by prepaid overnight carrier (providing proof of delivery), on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other addresses as shall be specified by the Parties by like notice):

Section 13.08 Captions.  The captions and section headings appearing in this Agreement are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 13.09 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, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such prohibited or unenforceable provision as may be permitted and enforceable in the applicable jurisdiction(s) shall be deemed added as a part of this Agreement.

Section 13.10 Assignment.  The obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are not assignable without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which such Parties may withhold such consent in their absolute discretion; provided, however, Purchaser may, without the prior written consent of Seller, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to (a) one or more of its Subsidiaries or to any Debt Financing Source and (b) any subsequent purchaser of all or substantially all of the Properties or Equity Securities (whether via merger, stock purchase or otherwise) of the Company; provided, further, that no such assignment will relieve the Purchaser of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 13.11 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by telecopy), 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.  If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by PDF, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf the signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or PDF signature were an original thereof.

Section 13.12 Disclosure.  Seller may, at its option, include items in Disclosure Schedules that are not material in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and any such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment or representation that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to further define the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement.  Information disclosed in any Schedule shall constitute a disclosure for purposes of all other Schedules and representations and warranties made by Seller hereunder notwithstanding the lack of specific cross-reference thereto, but only to the extent the applicability of such disclosure to such other Schedule or representation and warranty is readily or reasonably apparent.  In no event shall the inclusion of any matter in the Schedules be deemed or interpreted to broaden Seller's representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.  The mere inclusion of an item in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed an admission by Seller that such item represents a material exception or fact, event, or circumstance or that such item would be reasonably likely to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 13.13 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 may occur, money damages may not be a sufficient remedy and that, without posting bond or other undertaking, 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.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless a Purchaser Failure to Close has occurred, Seller shall be entitled to the granting of an order of specific performance or other equitable relief of Purchaser's obligation to take the actions it is entitled to take to cause the full funding of the Equity Financing under the Equity Commitment Letter and to consummate the Closing if and only in the event each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (a) all of the conditions to Purchaser's obligations to proceed with the Closing under ARTICLE 7 have been satisfied or waived (other than such conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied on the Closing Date, but assuming such condition were capable of being satisfied as of the date of termination); (b) (i) the Debt Financing is available (or would be available but for the satisfaction of conditions or deliverables that are within the Purchaser's control) on terms and conditions acceptable to Purchaser, as determined in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, and (ii) the Support Obligation Release is obtainable (but for the satisfaction of conditions or deliverables that are within the Purchaser's control) on terms and conditions acceptable to Purchaser, as determined in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser; (c) Purchaser fails to consummate the Closing when required pursuant to Section 2.03; and (d) Seller has irrevocably confirmed in a written notice to Purchaser that it is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing if an order of specific performance or other equitable relief is granted, the Debt Financing is consummated and the Support Obligation Release is obtained.

Section 13.14 Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, ACTION, DISPUTE OR REMEDY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THAT STATE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CHOICE OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 13.15 Consent to Jurisdiction.

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

(i)	any objection that 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 Delaware state or federal court; 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 13.07.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 13.16 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, ANY DEBT OR OTHER TYPE OF FINANCING OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, INCLUDING IN ANY ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM AGAINST ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCE OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PERSONS, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION.

Section 13.17 Binding Effect; Persons Benefitting.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.  Except as provided in ARTICLE 9 with respect to Indemnified Entities, in Section 12.02 with respect to the Debt Financing Sources and Related Persons, and Section 12.03, with respect to the members of the Purchaser Group, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 13.18 Waiver of Conflicts.  The Parties agree that, from and after the Closing, notwithstanding any current or prior representation of the Company by Baker Botts L.L.P. ("Baker Botts"), Baker Botts shall be permitted to represent Seller or any of its Affiliates in any matters and disputes, including in any matter or dispute adverse to Purchaser or the Company that either is existing on the date of this Agreement or that arises in the future and relates to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Purchaser hereby (a) waives any claim that it has or may have that Baker Botts has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from accepting or carrying out any such representation and (b) agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser or the Company on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, Baker Botts may represent (and none of Purchaser, the Company or their respective Representatives or Affiliates will seek to disqualify or otherwise prevent Baker Botts from representing) Seller or any such Affiliate in such dispute even though the interests of Seller or such Affiliate may be directly adverse to Purchaser or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries and even though Baker Botts may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for the Company.  Purchaser and the Company each further agree that any and all documents in Baker Botts' files relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any offers or indications of interest relating to the Company or its assets or otherwise relating legal services provided in connection with such matters for periods prior to the Closing shall be the property of and shall be retained by Baker Botts and shall not be delivered or required to be delivered to Purchaser or the Company; provided that Seller shall cause Baker Botts to hold such information in strict confidence.
