(i) any other documents and instruments reasonably requested by the Seller from the Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the Transactions that (x) are capable of being obtained and delivered by the Purchaser in the ordinary course of business on commercially reasonable terms and without incurring any additional Liability and (y) the obtaining and delivery of which would not reasonably be expected to impair, impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions by the date that the Closing would be required to occur pursuant to Section 2.02 if this Section 2.04(i) were not given effect.

Section 2.05 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Not later than 120 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a certificate signed by a duly authorized representative of the Purchaser setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Purchaser’s calculation, as of the Closing Date of the (i) Closing Net Working Capital, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, and (iii) resulting Post-Closing Adjustment Amount (such calculation, the “Post-Closing Statement”) and the work papers supporting such calculation. The Post-Closing Statement shall be unaudited and prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles Consistently Applied and in a format consistent with the illustrative calculation on Exhibit A.

(b) The Seller shall have 30 days from the date the Purchaser delivers the Post-Closing Statement to the Seller (such period, the “Dispute Period”) to notify the Purchaser in writing as to whether the Seller agrees or disagrees with the Purchaser’s calculation of any of the amounts reflected on the line items of the Post-Closing Statement (such written notice, the “Dispute Notice” and each such item, a “Disputed Item”); provided, however, that in each case the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of each Disputed Item and specify in reasonable detail the amount in dispute and the basis therefor. During the Dispute Period, the Purchaser shall make available or cause to be made available to the Seller and its accountants (during regular business hours and upon reasonable prior notice), at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, (i) the Books and Records relating to the Post-Closing Statement and (ii) the Purchaser’s accounting personal and advisors, in each case, as reasonably requested by the Seller. In the event that the Purchaser fails to provide such access, as reasonably determined by the Seller, the Dispute Period shall be automatically extended by the length of time it takes the Purchaser to provide such access.

(c) If the Seller fails to deliver a Dispute Notice to the Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, the Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and the resulting Post-Closing Adjustment Amount shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Indebtedness, and the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, as applicable, and shall be binding upon the Parties.

(d) If the Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to the Purchaser during the Dispute Period, the Parties shall, for a period of 30 days from the date the Seller delivers the Dispute Notice to the Purchaser (such period, the “Resolution Period”), use commercially reasonable efforts to amicably resolve the Disputed Items and determine the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. Any Disputed Items so resolved by the Parties shall be deemed to be final and correct as so resolved and shall be binding upon the Parties.

(e) If the Parties are unable to resolve all of the Disputed Items during the Resolution Period, then either Party may refer the remaining Disputed Items (the “Remaining Items”) to a U.S. nationally recognized, independent accounting firm that is mutually agreed to by the Parties,

26

or, if the Parties are unable to mutually agree, to the Dallas, Texas office of KPMG US LLP (the “Independent Accountant”). Such referral shall be made in writing to the Independent Accountant, copies of which shall concurrently be delivered to the non-referring Party. The referring Party shall furnish the Independent Accountant, on the date of such referral (the “Referral Date”), with the Post-Closing Statement, the Dispute Notice and any Disputed Items previously resolved by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.05(d). The Parties shall also furnish the Independent Accountant with such other information and documents as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request for purposes of resolving the Remaining Items and determining the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. Additionally, within five days after the Referral Date, each Party shall provide the Independent Accountant with a written statement (a “Position Statement”) describing in reasonable detail such Party’s position regarding the Remaining Items (copies of which shall concurrently be delivered to the other Party). If either Party fails to timely deliver its Position Statement to the Independent Accountant, the Independent Accountant shall resolve the Remaining Items solely upon the basis of the information otherwise timely provided to the Independent Accountant in accordance with this Section 2.05(e). Within 30 days after the Referral Date (the date such written determination is delivered to the parties, the “Delivery Date”), the Independent Accountant shall deliver to the parties a report specifying (i) its final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Indebtedness, (ii) the resulting Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, (iii) its adjustments, if any, to the Post-Closing Statement in connection with the items listed in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (iii) the calculations supporting such determinations and adjustments in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii). Such report shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Each of the Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Indebtedness, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.05, is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Net Working Capital” and “Final Closing Indebtedness,” as applicable. Any delay in delivering such report shall not invalidate such determination or deprive the Independent Accountant of jurisdiction to resolve the Remaining Items. In no event shall the Independent Accountant assign a value to the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount or any Remaining Item that is greater than the highest, or less than the lowest, calculation thereof proposed by the Parties. The Independent Accountant’s determination as to the Remaining Items and the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding upon the Parties and not be subject to judicial review. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, based on the degree to which the Independent Accountant’s determination of the aggregate amount of the Remaining Items accepts each Party’s respective positions with respect thereto. For example, if the Seller’s position is that the aggregate amount of the Remaining Items is $300, the Purchaser’s position is that the aggregate amount of the Remaining Items is $100 and the Independent Accountant determines that the aggregate amount of the Remaining Items is $150, then the Seller shall pay 75% ($300—$150 / $300—$100) and the Purchaser shall pay 25% ($150—$100 / $300—$100), respectively, of the Independent Accountant’s costs, fees and expenses.

(f) The Post-Closing Adjustment Amount that is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.05 shall be the “Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount.”

27

Section 2.06 Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. Following the determination of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.05:

(a) if the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is negative, the Seller shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the Delivery Date) pay to the Purchaser such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser in writing;

(b) if the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is positive, the Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the Delivery Date) pay to the Seller such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Wire Transfer Instructions; and

(c) if the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount equals zero, no Party shall be required to make any additional payments pursuant to this Section 2.06.

Section 2.07 Hydrocarbon Inventory. The valuation of Hydrocarbon Inventory for purposes of calculating Current Assets or Net Working Capital shall be determined in accordance with the valuation methodology set forth in Section 2.07 of the Disclosure Schedule.

Section 2.08 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchaser and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree to an allocation of the Adjusted Purchase Price and any other items properly treated as consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes among the six categories of assets specified in Part II of IRS Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060), in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, within 90 days after the determination of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 2.05 (the “Allocation”). If the Purchaser and the Seller reach an agreement with respect to the Allocation, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to update the Allocation in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code following any adjustment to the purchase consideration for Tax purposes pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) report consistently with the Allocation, as adjusted, on all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060), which the Parties shall timely file with the IRS, and neither Party shall take any position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Allocation, as adjusted, unless otherwise required by applicable Law and (iii) promptly inform one another in writing of any challenge by any Governmental Authority to such Allocation and consult and keep one another informed with respect to the status of such challenge; provided, however, that (A) if the Seller and the Purchaser cannot mutually agree on the Allocation, each Party shall be entitled to determine its own allocation and file its IRS Form 8594 consistent therewith, (B) neither Party shall be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to negotiate, compromise or settle any Tax audit, claim or similar proceedings in connection with such allocation and (C) neither Party shall be required to litigate before any court of competent jurisdiction any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority challenging the Allocation, as adjusted.

Section 2.09 Payment of Credit Agreement Payoff Amount. On the Closing Date, the Purchaser will pay, or cause to be paid, the Credit Agreement Payoff Amount on behalf of the Seller and the Company Group to the applicable lenders by wire transfer(s) in accordance with the instructions delivered by the Seller in writing no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall not have any Liability related to the Credit Agreement (including the accuracy of the Credit Agreement Payoff Amount) other than paying the Credit Agreement Payoff Amount as provided in Section 2.03(a).

ARTICLE IX

TAX MATTERS

Section 9.01 Transfer Taxes and Recording Fees Tax Matters. The Purchaser shall bear and pay any and all transfer, sales, use, documentary, stamp or similar Taxes incurred or imposed with respect to the consummation of the Transactions, and all required documentary, filing and recording fees and expenses in connection with the filing and recording of the assignments, conveyances, or other instruments required to convey the Purchased Interests to the Purchaser (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any such Transfer Taxes.

Section 9.02 Characterization of Payments. To the extent permissible under applicable Law, the Parties shall report each indemnification payment made in respect of a Loss for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price.

Section 9.03 Cooperation.

(a) Each Party shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes (each, a “Tax Proceeding”) imposed on or with respect to the assets, operations or activities of the Company Group. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement.

(b) If, after the Closing Date, the Purchaser (or any Affiliate of the Purchaser, including, for the avoidance of doubt, a member of the Company Group after the Closing) receives notice of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding that could result in an imputed underpayment described in Section 6225 of the Code with respect to any member of the Company Group for a Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding”), Purchaser shall notify Seller within 20 Business Days of receipt of such notice; provided, that the failure of the Purchaser to provide such notice will not relieve the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent the Seller shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Seller shall have the right to control any such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding. In the event that such Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding results in an imputed underpayment described in Section 6225 of the Code with respect to any member of the Company Group for a Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Adjustment”), the Seller shall undertake one of the following actions with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Adjustment (the selection of such action to be chosen by the Seller), unless the Seller receives the Purchaser’s written consent to forego taking such action: (i) cause each applicable member of the Company Group to make the election described in Section 6226 of the Code, (ii) take the required actions to apply the amended returns procedure described in Section 6225(c)(2)(A) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder or (iii) take the required actions to apply the “pull-in” method described in Section 6225(c)(2)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the members of the Company Group after the Closing) to, reasonably cooperate with the Seller in connection with any Pre-Closing Tax Proceeding and any Pre-Closing Tax Adjustment in order to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.03(b).

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.01 Indemnification by the Seller. Subject to the terms of this Article X, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the members of the Company Group after the Closing), and each of their respective members, owners, directors, officers, employees and consultants, excluding public equity holders of any of the foregoing Persons that is a Registrant (each, a “Purchaser Indemnitee”), to the fullest extent permitted by Law, from and against any Claims or Losses incurred, arising out of or relating to the following:

(a) any post-Closing Breach by the Seller of any of the Seller’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents, in each case, that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or part after the Closing;

(b) any Indebtedness or any Company Group Transaction Costs outstanding as of the Closing to the extent not deducted in the determination of the Closing Net Working Capital or the Closing Indebtedness, as the case may be; and

(c) Claims asserted by any former direct or indirect owner, whether record or beneficial owner, of any Equity Interests in the Seller or any member of the Company Group, including any Claims arising from or related to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement between the Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Midstream, LLC, dated as of March 22, 2021.

Section 10.02 Survival; Claims Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnities contained in Section 10.01 shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the applicable Expiration Date (as defined below). In no event shall any Purchaser Indemnitee be permitted to make any Claim under Section 10.01 unless such Claim is first made on or prior to the second annual anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that any Claim under Section 10.01(a) with respect to the alleged breach of any applicable covenant or agreement shall survive until the earlier of (x) the second annual anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) 60 days following the date that performance of such covenant or agreement by the Seller is no longer required in accordance with this Agreement; provided further, that Claims arising from a breach of a covenant in Article IX shall survive until 60 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (the date, if any, on which a Claim under this Article X herein so expires, the “Expiration Date”).

Section 10.03 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) A Purchaser Indemnitee, as the case may be (for purposes of Article X, the “Indemnified Party”), shall give the Seller prompt written notice of any matter which it has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Seller from its obligations under this Article X except to the extent the Seller is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

71

(b) If any Person other than the Seller, the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates shall notify an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a Claim for indemnification against the Seller under this Article X, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after receiving notice of the Third-Party Claim) notify the Seller thereof in writing; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Seller from its obligations under this Section 10.03 except to the extent the Seller is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(c) The Seller will have the right to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Seller shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, notwithstanding the giving of such written notice, if (i) the Third-Party Claim seeks only an injunction or other equitable relief or (ii) the Third-Party Claim is brought by a Governmental Authority. The Seller will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim if, in either case, it would (A) include the admission of any liability or responsibility on behalf of the Indemnified Party, (B) include any financial or other Liability (including equitable relief) to be paid or satisfied by the Indemnified Party, (C) include or be reasonably be expected to have any material sanction, material restriction or material adverse effect on or change to the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Indemnified Party or (D) not result in a final resolution of the Indemnified Party’s liability with respect to the Third-Party Claim, including, in the case of a settlement, an unconditional written release of the Indemnified Party from all further liability with respect to the Third-Party Claim.

(d) Unless and until the Seller assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim as provided in Section 10.03(c), the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate. The Seller shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Seller has not assumed the defense thereof or assumes the defense but asserts any limitation on its obligation to indemnify or defend which reduces its indemnification actions (in each case provided that the Seller is ultimately required to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim and subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this Article X); provided that the Seller shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third-Party Claim.

(e) If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided in Section 10.03(c), the Indemnified Party shall send written notice to the Seller of any proposed settlement thereof , and in no event shall the Indemnified Party consent to the entry of any judgement or enter into settlement with respect to such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

72

(f) Any indemnity payments made under this Article X shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 10.04 Duty to Mitigate. An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto and (ii) pursue all legal rights and remedies available (including insurance recoveries and third-party indemnification) in order to minimize the Losses to which it may be entitled to indemnification under this Article X.

Section 10.05 Limitations.

(a) The Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnitees to the extent of any Losses that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by final judgment to have resulted from any bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct to the extent occurring after the Closing of any Purchaser Indemnitees.

(b) Any Liability for indemnification under this Article X shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Liability constituting a breach of more than one covenant or agreement.

(c) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NO PURCHASER INDEMNITEE SHALL BE ENTITLED UNDER THIS ARTICLE X TO RECOVER FROM THE SELLER FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF DIMINUTION IN VALUE, LOST PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES OR LOST OR DELAYED BUSINESS BASED ON VALUATION METHODOLOGIES ASCRIBING A DECREASE IN VALUE TO THE COMPANY GROUP, ON THE BASIS OF A MULTIPLE OF A REDUCTION IN A MULTIPLE-BASED OR YIELD-BASED MEASURE OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, AT LAW, IN EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM A PARTY’S OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES’ SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT, EXCEPT IN EACH CASE TO THE EXTENT ANY OF THE FOREGOING ARE DETERMINED BY A JUDGE OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO BE DIRECT OR FORESEEABLE DAMAGES OR LOSSES AND ARE PAYABLE TO A THIRD PERSON WITH RESPECT TO A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, IN WHICH CASE ANY SUCH DAMAGES SHALL BE CONSIDERED PART OF LOSSES AND BE COVERED BY THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE X, AS APPLICABLE.

ARTICLE XI

TERMINATION

Section 11.01 Right of Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Parties;

73

(b) by either Party, by written notice to the other Party, if any Governmental Authority has issued, enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced any Law or issued any Order, in either case, that is final and non-appealable and that has not been vacated, withdrawn or overturned (other than a temporary restraining order), restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(b) shall not be available to a Party if the issuance or promulgation of such Law or Order was primarily due to the failure of such Party to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements, obligations or conditions of this Agreement to be performed or complied with by such Party prior to the Closing;

(c) by the Seller, by written notice to the Purchaser, if the Seller is not then in material Breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material Breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Purchaser in this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of satisfaction of any of the conditions in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 on or prior to the Outside Date (other than through the Seller’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement), and such Breach, if curable, is not cured within 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Seller (or any shorter period of time that remains between the date the Seller provides written notice of such violation or Breach and the Outside Date); provided, however, that if, at the end of such 30-day period, the Purchaser is proceeding in good faith to cure such Breach, then the Purchaser shall have an additional 30 days from the end of such 30-day period to effect such cure (or any shorter period of time that remains between the date the Seller provides written notice of such violation or Breach and the Outside Date);

(d) by the Purchaser, by written notice to the Seller, if the Purchaser is not then in material Breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material Breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Seller in this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of satisfaction of any of the conditions in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 on or prior to the Outside Date (other than through the Purchaser’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement), and such Breach, if curable, is not cured within 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Purchaser (or any shorter period of time that remains between the date the Purchaser provides written notice of such violation or Breach and the Outside Date); provided, however, that if, at the end of such 30-day period, the Seller is proceeding in good faith to cure such Breach, the Seller shall have an additional 30 days from the end of such 30-day period to effect such cure (or any shorter period of time that remains between the date the Purchaser provides written notice of such violation or Breach and the Outside Date);

(e) by either Party, by written notice to the other Party, if the Closing has not occurred as of the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(e) shall not be available to a Party if such failure of the Closing to occur as of the Outside Date is due to such Party’s failure to perform or comply with, in all material respects, any of the covenants, agreements, obligations or conditions of this Agreement to be performed or complied with by such Party prior to the Closing;

(f) by either Party, pursuant to Section 6.13; or

74

(g) by the Seller, by written notice to the Purchaser, if all of the conditions set forth in Article VII and Article VIII shall have been previously satisfied (other than any condition the failure of which to be satisfied is attributable, in whole or in part, to a Breach by the Purchaser of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein and other than conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing and which were, as of such date, capable of being satisfied) and the Purchaser has failed to consummate the Transactions by the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.02 while the Seller stands ready and able to complete the Closing.

Section 11.02 Effect of Termination. Except for this Section 11.02, Section 3.31, Section 6.03, Section 6.05, Section 11.03 and Article XII (and the definitions related to any of the foregoing) or in the event of Fraud, this Agreement shall, upon termination hereof pursuant to Section 11.01, forthwith become of no further force or effect and (i) there shall be no Liability in connection with this Agreement on the part of the Seller, the Purchaser or any of their respective Representatives to any other Party and (ii) all rights and obligations of any Party under this Agreement shall cease; provided that, except as provided in Section 11.03, any such termination shall not relieve any Party from Liability for any material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Purchaser, its Affiliates and its Representatives shall comply with its obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to the return and destruction of Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) and provide a written certification thereof signed by a duly authorized representative of the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, no termination of this Agreement shall terminate, or otherwise limit or restrict the rights and remedies in or available under, the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 11.03 Deposit.

(a) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Seller (i) pursuant to Section 11.01(c) or Section 11.01(g) or (ii) pursuant to Section 11.01(b) or Section 11.01(e) (but only if at such time the Purchaser would not have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01(e)), then, in each case, except for this Section 11.03, Section 3.31, Section 6.03, Section 6.05, Section 11.02 and Article XII (and the definitions related to any of the foregoing) or in the event of Fraud, this Agreement shall become of no further force or effect, and (A) the Escrow Agent shall, and the Seller shall be entitled to cause the Escrow Agent to, pay the Deposit and any interest earned thereon to the Seller, on the 15^th Business Day after the date of such termination of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Seller and the payment of the Deposit to the Seller shall be the Seller’s and its Affiliates’ sole and exclusive remedy and source of recovery for any Claims or Losses (whether framed in tort, contract or otherwise) related to or arising from any of the Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement or a breach of the Purchaser Parent Guaranty or the failure of the Closing to occur, (B) the Parties shall mutually release each other from any residuary Claims they may have against each other for Losses related to or arising from any breach of this Agreement or a breach of the Purchaser Parent Guaranty, the failure of the Closing to occur or the negotiations and execution of this Agreement, (C) there shall be no Liability in connection with this Agreement on the part of any of the Seller, the Purchaser, their Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives to any other Party, (D) all rights and obligations of any Party under this Agreement shall cease and (E) each Party hereby waives any and all rights to make any Claims against any other Party with respect to such other Party’s obligations under this Agreement or the Purchaser Parent Guaranty.

75

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.01 for any reason other than the reasons described in Section 11.03(a), then, in each case, except for this Section 11.03, Section 3.31, Section 6.03, Section 6.05, Section 11.02 and Article XII (and the definitions related to any of the foregoing) or in the event of Fraud, this Agreement shall become of no further force or effect, and the Escrow Agent shall, and the Parties shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to, pay the Deposit and all interest earned thereon to the Purchaser, on the fifth Business Day after the date of such termination of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Purchaser.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Parties acknowledges that the receipt of the Deposit and any interest thereon by the Seller pursuant to Section 11.03(a), in lieu of any other remedies at Law or in equity, is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Seller and its Affiliates in the circumstances in which such Deposit may be received for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impracticable to calculate with precision and that, without the agreements contained in this Section 11.03, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.03, each of the Parties acknowledges that the Deposit is not liquidated damages with respect to, and shall not limit damages related to, breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement or for Claims of, or causes of action arising from Fraud or willful misconduct; provided that, in no event will any failure by the Purchaser to consummate the Transactions as described in Section 11.01(g) be deemed to constitute “willful misconduct” or modify or diminish the application of Section 11.03(a).

EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH ACTIONS. NO PARTY SHALL BRING ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS IN ANY COURT OR JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE FORUM; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 12.12 SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES TO OBTAIN EXECUTION OF A JUDGMENT IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(a) The Parties agree and acknowledge that if either Party breaches this Agreement by failing to close on the Transactions after it is notified of the same by the other Party, such failure will cause an actual, immediate and irreparable harm and injury and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law. Accordingly, it is agreed that, except where this Agreement is properly terminated in accordance with Article XI, (i) the aggrieved Party shall, without the posting of bond or other security (any requirement for which each Party hereby waives), be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent a failure to close by the other Party in breach of the terms of this Agreement, to the remedy of specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and any other agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith and to any other equitable relief, (ii) damages shall be awarded only in a case where a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined that, notwithstanding the Parties’ intention for specific performance to be the applicable remedy prior to termination or the Closing, such specific performance is not available or otherwise will not be granted as a remedy and (iii) in the event that

80

any Action is brought in equity to enforce such covenants or agreements, neither Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at Law. In the event the Purchaser is required to consummate the Closing pursuant to an award of injunctive relief obtained by the Seller, then the Deposit shall be disbursed to the Seller and an amount equal to the Deposit shall be credited toward the payment of the Adjusted Base Purchase Price as set forth in Section 2.01(a).

(b) The Parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 12.13, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such Party under this Agreement, including liquidated damages available under Article XI in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 12.13 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing contained in this Section 12.13 shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 12.13 before exercising any termination right under Section 11.01 (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Action pursuant to this Section 12.13 or anything contained in this Section 12.13 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 11.01 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

(c) To the extent any Party hereto brings any Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and any other agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith in accordance with this Section 12.13, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Action is pending, plus 20 Business Days or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

Section 12.14 Non-Recourse. Except in respect of Fraud against any Person that committed Fraud and the remedies of the Seller under the Purchaser Parent Guaranty against the Purchaser Parent, this Agreement shall be enforceable only against, and any Action based upon, arising under, out of or in connection with or related in any manner to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Transactions shall be brought only against the Parties, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth in this Agreement applicable to such Party. No Person that is not a Party including any past, present or future Representative or Affiliate of a Party or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, a “Nonparty Affiliate”), shall have any Liability (whether in contract, tort, strict liability, at Law, in equity or otherwise) for any claims, causes of action, Liabilities or other obligations arising under, out of or in connection with or related in any manner to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Transactions, or based upon, in respect of or by reason of the Transaction Documents or the negotiation, execution, performance or Breach of any of the Transaction Documents. To the extent permitted by Law, each Party hereby (a) waives and releases all such claims, causes of action, Liabilities and other obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates, (b) waives and releases any and all claims, causes of action, rights, remedies, demands or Actions that may otherwise be available to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Party or otherwise impose the Liability of a Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by Law or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization or otherwise, and (c) disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any representation or warranty made in, in connection with or as an inducement hereto or thereto.

Section 12.15 Legal Representation. The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ L.L.P. (“Seller’s Counsel”) has acted as counsel for the Seller, the Company Group and their respective Affiliates in the past and that such Persons reasonably anticipate that Seller’s Counsel may continue to represent them in future matters. Accordingly, the Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, expressly consents to (a) the representation by Seller’s Counsel of the Seller, the Company Group and their respective Affiliates in any post-Closing matter in which the interests of the Purchaser or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Seller, the Company Group or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse, including any matter relating to the Transactions or any disagreement or dispute relating hereto, and whether or not such matter is one in which Seller’s Counsel may have previously advised such Persons, and (b) the disclosure by Seller’s Counsel to the Seller, the Company Group or their respective Affiliates of any information learned by Seller’s Counsel in the course of its representation of such Persons, whether or not such information is subject to attorney-client privilege or Seller’s Counsel’s duty of confidentiality. Furthermore, the Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, irrevocably waives any right it or its Affiliates may have to discover or obtain information or documentation relating to the representation of the Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) by Seller’s Counsel in connection with the Transactions, to the extent that such information or documentation was privileged as to the Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company Group). The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, further covenants and agrees that each shall not assert any claim against Seller’s Counsel in respect of legal services provided to the Seller, the Company Group or their respective Affiliates by Seller’s Counsel in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions.

Section 12.16 Privileged Communications. As to all communications among Seller’s Counsel or the Seller’s in-house counsel, on the one hand, and the Seller, any member of the Company Group or Subsidiary thereof, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the Transactions and that constitute attorney-client privileged communications or are otherwise privileged under Law (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”), the privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Seller, may be controlled by the Seller and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Purchaser, any member of the Company Group or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that with respect to any Privileged Communications that (a) are (i) related to the Business or (ii) any assets, Liabilities, Losses, Actions or other matters associated with any Company Group member and (b) are only tangentially related to the Transactions (collectively, the “Excluded Communications”), the privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the applicable Company Group member, may be controlled by such Company Group member and shall pass to and may be claimed by the Purchaser or any member of the Company Group. The Privileged Communications (other than the Excluded Communications) are the Seller’s property, and, from and after the Closing Date, none of the Purchaser, the members of the Company Group or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of the Purchaser, any member of the Company Group or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall seek to obtain any such Privileged Communications, whether by seeking a waiver of the privilege or through other means. As to any such Privileged Communications prior to the Closing Date, none of the Purchaser, the members of the Company Group or any of their respective

82

Subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors or assigns may disclose, use or rely on in any way any of such Privileged Communications after the Closing; provided, however, that the foregoing sentence shall not restrict the ability of the Purchaser, the members of the Company Group or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to challenge the fact that any communication constitutes a Privileged Communication (other than as a result of the Purchaser becoming the owner of the Purchased Interests). The Seller and its Affiliates may use any such Privileged Communications in connection with any dispute that relates in any way to the Transactions; provided, however, that in the event a dispute arises between the Purchaser or the Company Group, on the one hand, and a third Person (other than the Seller or its Affiliates) after the Closing, the members of the Company Group and their respective Subsidiaries may assert the privilege to prevent disclosure of any such Privileged Communications to such third Person; and, provided, further, that the members of the Company Group and their respective Subsidiaries shall not, unless required by Law, waive such privilege without the Seller’s prior written consent.
