(a) Straddle Period. When it is necessary under this Agreement to allocate Taxes, other than Transfer Taxes, for a Straddle Period between the portion of the taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion of the taxable period beginning

after the Closing Date, ad valorem, property or other similar Taxes shall be allocated based on a prorated daily basis, Taxes imposed on transactions shall be allocated to the date of the transaction giving rise to the Tax, and all other Taxes shall be allocated based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the Property Tax Allocation Agreement shall exclusively govern the allocation of the real property Taxes identified therein.

(b) Tax Refunds. Any Tax refunds, credits, abatements or similar offsets against Taxes that are received by Buyer that relate to Excluded Tax Liabilities shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller the amount of any such refund or credit (including any interest received thereon net of any Taxes to Buyer in respect of the receipt or accrual of such refund or credit), credit, abatement or similar offset within ten (10) days after such amount has been claimed or benefit received, as the case may be.

(c) Cooperation. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns with respect to taxable periods beginning on or prior to the Closing Date (including Straddle Periods) and any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes relating the ownership or operation of the Acquired Assets (each a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to such Tax Returns. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (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. The requesting Party shall reimburse the cooperating Parties for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such cooperating Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section ‎5.03(c) shall require Buyer, Seller or their respective Affiliates to make available Tax Returns (or supporting documentation) relating to income or similar Taxes.

(d) Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall file all Tax Returns required to be filed to report Transfer Taxes imposed on or with respect to the transfer of the Projects by Seller to Buyer under this Agreement, shall be solely liable for and shall bear all such Transfer Taxes, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all liability for the payment of such Transfer Taxes.

(e) Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties agree that the aggregate consideration (including any Assumed Liabilities and any other items treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes) paid in exchange for the Acquired Assets will be allocated among the Acquired Assets in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations. Within sixty (60) days of the final determination of the Purchase Price under ‎Section 2.04(b), Seller shall deliver to Buyer an initial allocation (the “Allocation”). Buyer shall be deemed to agree with the Allocation unless Buyer delivers a written dispute notice to Seller within thirty (30) days from the receipt thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the reason for any objections and any proposed adjustments to the initial Allocation. Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputed items. If the Parties fail to resolve any disputed items within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of Buyer’s dispute notice, the Parties shall submit the dispute to the Independent Accountants for resolution. Seller and Buyer each shall be liable for

and pay one-half of the fees and other costs charged by the Independent Accountants. Seller and Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to update and adjust the Allocation, in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, following any adjustment to the aggregate consideration paid in exchange for the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement. Except to the extent otherwise required by any applicable Law, Buyer and Seller shall prepare all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594, in a manner consistent with the Allocation (as agreed upon by the Parties or as determined by the Independent Accountants and as may be adjusted pursuant to this Agreement) and shall not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Returns or during the course of any Tax Proceeding.

SECTION 5.04 Confidentiality; Publicity.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that the information being provided to it in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement between Rockland Capital, LLC and The AES Corporation, dated as of July 7, 2017 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate as to Buyer’s obligations with respect to information relating solely to the Projects, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that Buyer acknowledges that any and all other information provided to it by Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or Seller’s Representatives shall remain subject to the Confidentiality Agreement after the Closing Date in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

(b) If the Closing occurs, Seller and Parent shall maintain in confidence, shall cause their Affiliates to maintain in confidence, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their (and their Affiliates’) Representatives to maintain in confidence, any written, oral or other information relating to Buyer, its Affiliates, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Projects or the Business until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, except that the requirements of this ‎Section 5.04(b) shall not apply to the extent that (i) any such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Seller, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their (or their Affiliates’) Representatives in violation of the Confidentiality Agreement or this ‎Section 5.04, (ii) any such information is required by applicable Law or a Governmental Entity to be disclosed (including any report, statement, testimony or other submission to such Governmental Entity), (iii) any such information is reasonably necessary to be disclosed in connection with any Claim or in any dispute with respect to this Agreement (including in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or formal or informal investigative demand issued to the disclosing Party in the course of any Claim or dispute) or (iv) any such information was or becomes available to Seller, Parent or their Affiliates or any of their (or their Affiliates’) Representatives on a non-confidential basis and from a source (other than Buyer or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives) that is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information.

(c) No Party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives shall make any public announcement or issue any public communication (including announcements or communications to Plant Employees and interviews with the media) regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any matter related to the foregoing, without first obtaining the prior

written consent of the other Party (or Parties) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except if such announcement or other communication is required by applicable Law or legal process (including rules of any national securities exchange), in which case the Party making such public announcement or issuing such public communication shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate or communicate such announcement or communication with the other Party (or Parties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this ‎Section 5.04 shall restrict (i) any Party from making all required filings with and providing information to the appropriate Governmental Entity concerning the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Party or any of its respective Representatives from making communications with any Affiliate of such Party or the limited partners of funds advised by any Affiliate of such Party concerning the transactions contemplated hereby or the contents of this Agreement, subject to existing confidentiality arrangements in place with such Persons, (iii) any Party from complying with its obligations under this Agreement, including ‎Section 5.07 and ‎Section 5.08 or (iv) any Party from making customary disclosures under the Securities Act regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 5.05 Post-Closing Books and Records. As of the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall be entitled to retain copies (at Seller’s sole cost and expense) of all books, records and other documents pertaining to the Business, the Projects or the ownership or operation of the Acquired Assets prior to Closing. Buyer shall, and to the extent within its powers as an equity holder, shall cause the Projects to, retain, for at least seven (7) years after the Closing Date, all books, records and other documents pertaining to the Projects’ businesses that relate to the period prior to the Closing Date, and to make the same available after the Closing Date for inspection and copying by Seller (at Seller’s sole cost and expense) during regular business hours without significant disruption to the Projects’ businesses and upon reasonable request and upon reasonable advance notice. At and after the expiration of such period, if Seller or any of its Affiliates have previously requested in writing that such books and records be preserved, Buyer shall, and to the extent within its powers as an equity holder, shall cause the Projects to, either preserve such books and records for such reasonable period as may be requested by Seller or transfer such books and records to Seller or its designated Affiliates at Seller’s sole cost and expense.

SECTION 5.06 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Closing takes place, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses, including any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by a Party to any brokers, financial or legal advisors or comparable other persons retained or employed by such Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall bear the cost of procuring the R&W Insurance (including the underwriting fees and other costs and expenses relating thereto).

SECTION 5.07 Employee Matters.

(a) Employment Offers. No later than forty-five (45) days after the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall (i) make a Qualifying Offer of Employment to each Plant Employee listed in ‎Section 5.07(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule as such Schedule may be supplemented or amended to the extent Plant Employees are hired or terminated after the date of this Agreement

in accordance with ‎Section 5.02(a)(xiv), subject to Buyer’s standard hiring procedures including pre-employment drug testing, and (ii) hire each Plant Employee who wishes to accept such Qualifying Offer of Employment. Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate (or shall cause to be terminated) the employment of each Plant Employee who is to be hired by Buyer, and shall cooperate with, and use reasonable efforts to assist, Buyer with respect to the hiring of the Plant Employees. The Buyer shall not assume any of the Benefit Plans or employment agreements or other similar Contracts with any of the Plant Employees. In no event shall any Continuing Employee be entitled to accrue any benefits under any Benefit Plan or arrangement maintained by the Seller or its Affiliates after the Closing Date or, if so provided by the applicable Benefit Plan, the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs.

(b) Labor Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, each Labor Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms. The Parties shall provide that the terms and conditions of employment for the Represented Employees contained therein, as in effect on the date hereof, shall remain in full force, except with respect to non-replicable benefits in each Labor Agreement, for which Buyer may substitute any combination of compensation and benefits which in the aggregate are of substantially similar value to those currently provided, subject to any obligation to engage in collective bargaining negotiations with the employees’ bargaining representative, until such Labor Agreement’s expiration, modification or termination in accordance with its terms or pursuant to applicable Law. In order to effectuate the requirements set forth in the foregoing sentence, prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and take all action reasonably necessary for (i) Buyer to (A) become a party to, by joinder or otherwise, each Labor Agreement or (B) adopt one or more agreements, containing terms and conditions substantially similar to, in all material respects, those contained in the Labor Agreements and (ii) Seller to obtain any necessary consents for Buyer’s actions set forth in the foregoing clause (i).

(c) Continuation of Compensation and Benefits. During the one (1) year period following the Closing, Buyer shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, salary or wages (as applicable) and target incentive opportunity, and other pension, welfare and fringe benefits to each Continuing Employee that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the levels of such compensation and benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Severance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Continuing Employee’s employment is terminated during the one (1) year period following the Closing Date, and such termination would have entitled the employee to severance under the severance plan set forth in ‎Section 5.07(d) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Seller Severance Plan”), then Buyer shall provide to the employee severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits the employee would have received under the Seller Severance Plan.

(e) Benefit Continuation for Continuing Employees. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive or cause to be waived all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage

requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee under any employee benefit plans, programs and policies of the Buyer in which Continuing Employees participate (or are eligible to participate) that are comparable “welfare benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(1) of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended). In addition, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid under Seller’s comparable welfare benefit plan(s) during the plan year commencing immediately prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable co-payments, deductible or other out-of-pocket requirements under any such welfare benefit plans for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(f) Service Credit for Continuing Employees. Buyer shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each Continuing Employee credit for all service with Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date, to the same extent as such service was credited under the comparable Benefit Plan, under all employee benefit plans, programs and policies of the Buyer in which Continuing Employees participate (or are eligible to participate) for all purposes, including for purposes of eligibility, vesting, benefit accrual and determination of level of benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that it results in the duplication of benefits.

(g) 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall maintain or designate a defined contribution plan and related trust intended to be qualified under Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a) of the Code (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”). Effective as of the Closing Date, the Continuing Employees shall cease participation in the relevant defined contribution plan (collectively, the “Seller 401(k) Plan”), and Buyer shall permit the Continuing Employees to commence participation in the Buyer 401(k) Plan and to elect a “direct rollover” of such Continuing Employees’ account balances (including promissory notes and any other documentation evidencing all outstanding loans) from the Seller 401(k) Plan to the Buyer 401(k) Plan. In connection with such direct rollovers, Seller and Buyer shall take such actions as reasonably necessary to implement such direct rollovers.

(h) Third-Party Rights. Nothing contained herein, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; (ii) shall alter or limit Seller’s or Buyer’s ability to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; or (iii) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

(i) Employment by Third Party or Buyer’s Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ‎Section 5.07, Buyer shall have the right to use a third party operator or an Affiliate of Buyer to hire the Plant Employees and to perform certain actions on behalf of Buyer under this ‎Section 5.07; provided that in no event shall such use of or performance by a third party operator or an Affiliate of Buyer release Buyer from any of its obligations under this ‎Section 5.07.

SECTION 5.08 Further Actions.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller each agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (except where a different efforts standard is specifically contemplated by this Agreement, in which case such different standard shall apply) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the most expeditious manner practicable.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties will each use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Required Consents, including, without limitation, any Consents required in connection with any approvals of parties to Contracts that are included in the Acquired Assets and any Filings or Consents with or from any Governmental Entity, including by (i) preparing and filing as soon as reasonably practicable all such Filings or Consents with or from any Governmental Entity or other Person that are required to be filed or obtained in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) taking all actions necessary to cause all conditions set forth in Article ‎6 to be satisfied as soon as practicable and (iii) executing and delivering any additional instruments (which do not impose any material liability on Seller or Buyer) necessary to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to expend any funds or assume any liabilities other than (x) customary filing fees and (y) expenditures and liability assumptions which are customary and de minimis in nature and amount in the context of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section ‎5.08(a) or this Section ‎5.08(b), none of Buyer, Seller nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligation to (i) hold separate or divest any property or assets, (ii) defend against any lawsuit, action or proceeding, judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (iii) agree to any conduct restrictions relating to their respective businesses which would result in a material adverse effect on such Person. Without limiting the foregoing, from the date hereof through the Closing Date, Buyer agrees that except as may be agreed in writing by Seller, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to take any action that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Consent or Filing with any Governmental Entity not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or impact the ability of the Parties to secure all required government approvals to consummate the transactions hereunder, or take any action with any Governmental Entity relating to the foregoing, or agree, in writing or otherwise, to do any of the foregoing, in each case which would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or result in the failure to satisfy any condition to consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including but not limited to acquiring or commencing the development or construction of any electric generation, distribution or transmission facility in Indiana or Ohio or otherwise obtaining or seeking to obtain control over any electric generation, distribution or transmission facility. (A) Seller shall draft and file, and bear the fees associated with any Filings or Consents with or from the Ohio Power Siting Board and the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission and (B) Buyer shall draft and file, and bear the fees associated with any Filings or Consents with or from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or any other Governmental Entity; provided, however, that (x) each Party shall have a reasonable opportunity to first review and comment on any Filings (other than HSR filings) or Consents and the Party

responsible for such Filing or Consent shall consider such comments in good faith and (y) notwithstanding anything to the foregoing, each Party will bear its own internal costs and pay all fees and expenses including expenses of its counsel in connection with such Filings or Consents regardless of the Party responsible for drafting and filing.

(c) Seller and Buyer shall (i) each promptly inform the other Party of any material communication made to, or received by such Party from, any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries or requests for additional information and documentary material received from any Governmental Entity and (iii) except as required by Law, not enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity agreeing not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) No Party shall have any liability whatsoever to any other Party arising out of or relating to (i) the failure to obtain any Required Consent that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) any lawsuit, action, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such Required Consent, in each case, so long as it has complied with the applicable covenants contained in this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any interest in any Project Easement, Assumed Contract, Transferred Permit or Intellectual Property (or attempt to make such an assignment or transfer), without the consent or approval of a third party, would constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such third party (such assets, claims, rights or benefits being collectively referred to herein as the “Restricted Assets”). Any assignment or transfer of a Restricted Asset shall be made subject to such consent or approval being obtained. If any such consent or approval is not obtained prior to the Closing, (i) Seller shall continue, upon request of Buyer, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer in attempting to obtain any such consent or approval and (ii) Seller shall hold such Restricted Asset in trust for the use and benefit of Buyer or its designee and, to the extent practicable, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith with respect to alternative arrangements (such as a license, sublease or operating agreement) at no additional cost or expense to Buyer or any of its Affiliates until such time as such consent or approval has been obtained which results in Buyer or its Affiliates receiving all the benefits and bearing all the costs, liabilities and burdens with respect to any such Restricted Asset; provided that Seller or its Affiliates shall have no obligation to pay money or make any concessions to obtain any such consent or approval.

(f) Following the Closing, (i) if Buyer or any of its Affiliates receive any payment from a third party that constitutes an Excluded Asset, Buyer shall promptly after receipt thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such receipt, notify Seller of such receipt and transfer to Seller such Excluded Asset to an account designated by Seller and (ii) if Seller receives any Inventories or any payment that otherwise constitutes an Acquired Asset, Seller shall promptly after receipt thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such receipt, notify Buyer of such receipt and send to Buyer such

Inventories to an address designated in writing by Buyer or such payment to an account designated by Buyer, as applicable.

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligations to maintain any guarantee or other form of credit support to secure performance or payment under any Assumed Contract after the Closing. Buyer shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Seller, prior to the Closing and to be effective upon the Closing, a full and unconditional release of all of the obligations of Seller and its Affiliates under each of the agreements and instruments set forth in ‎Section 5.08(g) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Guarantees”) by providing the counterparties thereto and beneficiaries thereof with a substitute form of security. In the event that any such counterparty or beneficiary does not accept a substitute form of security prior to the Closing, Buyer shall continue to use all reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Seller as promptly as practicable after the Closing a full and unconditional release of all of the obligations of Seller and its Affiliates under any of the Guarantees that remain outstanding (the “Continuing Guarantees”). Except to the extent resulting from any breach by Seller or any of its Affiliates of such Continuing Guarantee or this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges that the obligations of Seller and its Affiliates under the Continuing Guarantees arising after the Closing are for the account of Buyer and any Indemnifiable Losses suffered, paid or incurred by Parent, Seller and their respective Affiliates in respect thereof shall be paid or reimbursed by Buyer, as applicable, and shall otherwise be subject to indemnification by Buyer as Released Liabilities. Buyer agrees to deliver to Seller at Closing and maintain in effect a letter of credit or other reasonable form of security in respect of Buyer’s indemnification obligations relating to each Continuing Guarantee until such time as there has been a full and unconditional release of Seller and its Affiliates from all obligations thereunder. Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to: (i) renew or extend the term of, (ii) increase the obligations under, or (iii) transfer to a third party any Contract or other obligation covered by a Continuing Guarantee.

(h) Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to reach mutual agreement on access to certain required equipment currently located at facilities retained by Seller, including the RTUs and the telecommunication demarcation points, and Seller shall grant such license or easement as may be reasonably necessary, if any, to allow Buyer, its Affiliates or designees to access and/or install required interconnection cables/tie lines to such equipment. Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to move all of the RTU assets relating to the Projects (the “RTUs”) from Seller’s or its Affiliate’s property to Buyer’s property relating to the Projects prior to the Closing and (ii) to the extent any of the RTUs have not been moved prior to the Closing, move all of the RTUs from Seller’s or its Affiliate’s property to Buyer’s property relating to the Projects as promptly as practicable following the Closing. Seller shall effect the amendments set forth in Section 5.08(h) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule prior to Closing.

SECTION 5.09 Obligations of Buyer Guarantor. Buyer Guarantor agrees that, prior to the Closing, it will not, and it will cause its Affiliates not to, take any action (or fail to take any action) that would reasonably be expected to disqualify Buyer from obtaining control of the Acquired Assets, assume the Assumed Liabilities or that would prevent, delay or limit the

ability of Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 5.10 Names Following the Closing. Within thirty (30) days following Closing, Buyer shall cause the Projects to cease using the name “AES”, “AES Ohio Generation”, “DPL”, “DP&L”, “DPL Energy” and any word or expression similar thereto or constituting an abbreviation or extension thereof (“Seller’s Marks”), including removing the Seller’s Marks from the properties and assets of the Projects, and Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Projects not to, use the Seller’s Marks or any logos, trademarks or trade names belonging to Seller or any Affiliate thereof, and Buyer acknowledges that it, its Affiliates and the Projects have no rights whatsoever to use the Seller’s Marks or such logos, trademarks or trade names or related intellectual property. Notwithstanding Buyer’s right to use the Seller’s Marks for the time periods set forth above, Buyer agrees that (a) neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be deemed an agent, representative or joint venture partner of Seller; (b) Seller, Parent and its respective Affiliates shall, as applicable, retain sole and exclusive ownership of the Seller’s Marks, and all goodwill and rights related thereto; and (c) Buyer and its Affiliates shall not take any action in respect of Seller’s Marks that would adversely affect Seller, Parent or its respective Affiliates, or the interest of Seller, Parent or its respective Affiliates in the Seller’s Marks.

SECTION 5.11 Post-Closing Cooperation. After Closing, upon prior reasonable written request, each Party shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in furnishing records, information, oral or written testimony, oral or written attestations and certifications, and other assistance in connection with transition matters and any inquiries or proceedings involving the Projects, but excluding any proceedings arising from disputes among the Parties. Each such requesting Party shall reimburse such cooperating Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by such cooperating Party as a result of any such requested cooperation.

SECTION 5.12 Proration of Charges.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all installments of special assessments or other charges on or with respect to the Acquired Assets payable by Seller for any period in which the Closing Date shall occur, including base rent, common area maintenance, royalties, all municipal, utility or authority charges for water, sewer, electric or gas charges, garbage or waste removal and cost of fuel, shall be apportioned as of the Closing, and each party shall pay its proportionate share promptly upon the receipt of any ▇▇▇▇, statement or other charge with respect thereto. If such charge or rates are assessed either based upon time or for a specified period, such charges or rates shall be prorated as of 12:01 A.M. on the Closing Date. If such charges or rates are assessed based upon usage of utility or similar services, such charges shall be prorated based upon meter readings taken on the Closing Date.

(b) All refunds, reimbursements, installments of base rent, additional rent, license fees or other use related revenue receivable by any Party to the extent attributable to the operation of the Projects for any period in which the Closing shall occur shall be prorated so that Seller shall be entitled to that portion of any such installment applicable to the period up to but not including the Closing Date (except to the extent such amounts were included as Current Assets in the calculation of the Net Working Capital) and Buyer shall be entitled to that portion of any

such installment applicable to any period including and from and after the Closing Date, and if Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall receive any such payments after the Closing Date, they shall promptly remit to such other Parties their share of the payments.

(c) The prorations pursuant to this Section ‎5.12 may be calculated after the Closing Date, as each item to be prorated (including any such obligation, assessment, charge, refund, reimbursement, rent installment, fee or revenue) accrues or comes due; provided that, in any event, any such proration shall be calculated not later than thirty (30) days after the party requesting proration of any item obtains the information required to calculate such proration of such item.

SECTION 5.13 Insurance; R&W Insurance.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, the Acquired Assets shall cease to be insured by Seller’s or its Affiliates’ insurance policies or by any of their self- insured programs, and neither Buyer nor its Affiliates shall have a right to make any claim under such policies. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and its Affiliates shall retain all rights to control their insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs. Buyer acknowledges that it shall be responsible for procuring insurance in respect of the Acquired Assets after the Closing Date.

(b) In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates procures a buyer-side representation and warranty insurance policy (“R&W Insurance”), Buyer and Buyer Guarantor shall cause the R&W Insurance to explicitly provide that the provider of the R&W Insurance will not have the right to, and will not, pursue any subrogation or contribution rights or any other claims against the Seller in connection with any claim made by the Indemnified Buyer Entities thereunder, except in the case of fraud. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall amend, modify or terminate the R&W Insurance or any provisions thereof in any manner that may adversely affect the Seller or any of its Affiliates, including any amendment, modification or termination of the provisions of the R&W Insurance in respect of the restriction described in the preceding sentence.

SECTION 5.14 Casualty and Condemnation.

(a) If all or any portion of the Acquired Assets are damaged or destroyed by casualty loss after the date hereof and prior to the Closing (a “Casualty Loss”) or taken by condemnation after the date hereof and prior to the Closing (a “Condemnation Event”), Seller shall provide notice to Buyer after obtaining Knowledge of such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Event, and the following options shall apply based on (i) the cost of, in the case of a Casualty Loss, restoring such damaged or destroyed Acquired Asset to a condition reasonably comparable to its prior condition or, in the case of a Condemnation Event, replacing such Acquired Assets that are subject to such Condemnation Event with reasonably comparable assets plus (ii) the amount of any lost profits reasonably expected to accrue on or after Closing Date as a result of such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Event (such costs with respect to any such Acquired Asset, after including the amount of any such lost profits, in each case, as determined by a qualified firm

reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller and selected by Buyer and Seller in good faith and promptly after the date of the event giving rise to the Casualty Loss or the Condemnation Event, in the case of a Casualty Loss, being referred to as the “Restoration Cost” or, in the case of a Condemnation Event, the “Condemnation Value”).

(b) If the Restoration Cost or Condemnation Value, as the case may be, is greater than $4,000,000 but does not exceed $36,000,000, Seller may elect, by written notice to Buyer, (x) to reduce the amount of the Purchase Price by the estimated Restoration Cost or Condemnation Value, as applicable, in which event such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Event shall not affect the Closing, or (y) in the case of a Casualty Loss, to restore such damaged or destroyed Acquired Asset at any time prior to the Closing to a condition reasonably comparable to its condition immediately prior to the Casualty Loss or, in the case of a Condemnation Event, to replace such Acquired Assets that are subject to such Condemnation Event at any time prior to the Closing with reasonably comparable assets. If Seller does not make any such election pursuant to clause (x) or (y) of the immediately preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the date of such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Event, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days after the end of such thirty (30) day period by written notice to Seller. If Buyer, in the circumstances in which it is entitled to do so, does not make an election to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Parties shall proceed to Closing, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated Restoration Cost or Condemnation Value, as applicable.

(c) If the Restoration Cost or the Condemnation Value is in excess of $36,000,000, Buyer or Seller may, by notice to the other Party within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of notice from Seller of such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Event and the determination of the Restoration Cost or the Condemnation Value attributable thereto, elect to terminate this Agreement, and if neither Buyer nor Seller elects to terminate this Agreement within such thirty (30) day period, then the Parties shall proceed to Closing, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated Restoration Cost or Condemnation Value.

(d) If the Restoration Cost or the Condemnation Value is $4,000,000 or less, (A) neither Buyer nor Seller shall have the right or option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ‎Section 5.14 and (B) there shall be no reduction to the Purchase Price pursuant to this ‎Section 5.14.

SECTION 5.16 Title Insurance Policy; Survey.

(a) If, in connection with its purchase of the Acquired Assets (including any financing thereof), Buyer elects to obtain, or its Financing Sources require, a policy(ies) of title insurance covering all or any portion of the Real Property, as well as any endorsements thereto that Buyer may elect or be required to obtain (the “Title Insurance Policy”), Seller agrees to execute owner’s affidavits and, with respect to sites where the Title Company has agreed to rely on existing, recent ALTA surveys obtained by Seller prior to the date of this Agreement, rather than new ALTA surveys obtained by Buyer pursuant to ‎Section 5.16(b) below, survey affidavits in substantially the form(s) attached hereto as Exhibit M, as may be reasonably required by the Title Company and provide such other customary documents or information as may be reasonably requested by the Title Company, in each case, to issue the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with any Title Insurance Policy and shall reimburse Seller and its Representatives for any and all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses (including reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel, accountants and other advisors) incurred by any of them in connection therewith.

Real Property is located. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the costs and expenses associated with the preparation and delivery of any such survey shall be borne solely by Buyer, and Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller and its Representatives for any and all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses (including reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel, accountants and other advisors) incurred by any of them in connection therewith.

SECTION 5.17 Capacity Obligations; Transfer of Revenues and Obligations.

(a) Parent, Seller or an Affiliate thereof has offered capacity from the Projects into PJM’s Reliability Pricing Model (“RPM”) base residual and incremental auctions and those offers have cleared the market resulting in the capacity positions set forth on ‎Section 5.17(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Capacity Obligations”). At the Closing, Seller shall transfer and assign or cause to be transferred and assigned to Buyer or Buyer’s designated agent (i) all liabilities, obligations, commitments and responsibilities of Seller accruing or arising from the Capacity Obligations attributable to the period from and after the Closing, and (ii) all right to receive revenue accruing with respect to the Capacity Obligations (the “Capacity Revenues”) attributable to the period from and after the Closing or as otherwise included as a Current Asset in the calculation of the Net Working Capital.

(b) To the extent that PJM does not permit, or any other Governmental Entity is required to approve, the transfer and assignment of the Capacity Revenues to Buyer or its designated agent in accordance with Section 5.17‎(a) or does not permit or otherwise effectuate the transfer and assignment to Buyer as of the Closing of any revenues generated by the Projects (including Capacity Revenues, reactive power revenues, energy revenues and ancillary services revenues), Seller or its designated agent or Affiliate shall receive such revenues solely as agent for Buyer and promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days of Seller’s or such designated agent’s or Affiliate’s receipt thereof, transfer or cause to be transferred all such revenues attributable to the period from and after the Closing to Buyer or its designated agent.

(c) On and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the exclusive right to offer to sell capacity from the Projects in PJM’s RPM auctions.

SECTION 5.18 Environmental Matters. To the extent allowed by Law and to the extent reasonably practicable, Seller shall be responsible for preparing and filing all reports and certifications required to be submitted to a Governmental Entity under applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits for the reporting periods beginning on or prior to the Closing Date, including all Title V semi-annual deviation reports, annual emissions inventory reports, and Tier II Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory reports, by the dates required under applicable Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits, even if such reporting deadlines occur after the Closing Date. To the extent allowed by Law and to the extent reasonably practicable, Buyer shall be responsible for preparing and filing all reports and certifications required to be submitted to a Governmental Entity under applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits for the reporting periods beginning after the Closing Date, including all Title V semi-annual deviation reports, annual emissions inventory reports, and Tier II Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory reports, by the dates required under applicable Environmental Laws or Environmental

Permits. Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any reports or certifications required to be submitted to a Governmental Entity under applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits for a reporting period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date; provided, however, that each Party shall be responsible for submitting reports and certifications for that portion of the reporting period during which such Party owned or operated the Acquired Assets.

SECTION 5.19 Emission Allowances.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Buyer shall cause all required notices and other Filings to be made with applicable Governmental Entities in respect of its assumption of the Transferred Allowances. Following the Closing, all regular and other required Filings relating to Emission Allowances and Acid Rain Program and CSAPR compliance with respect to the Projects shall be submitted as provided in ‎Section 5.18.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the year in which the Closing occurs (or promptly following the end of any other relevant compliance period), Seller and Buyer shall work in good faith to quantify (i) the total Emission Allowances required for Acid Rain Program and CSAPR compliance for the Projects for that year and (ii) the pro rata amount of Emission Allowances attributable to the portion of that year during which Seller owned the Projects. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing process shall be undertaken for the year in which the Closing occurs and, if the Closing takes place at a time when the compliance process for the previous year has not yet been completed, also for the year prior to the year in which the Closing occurs.

(c) To the extent that required Emission Allowances, as determined pursuant to Section 5.19‎(b)(ii), are greater than the Transferred Allowances, Seller will either (i) provide Buyer with Emission Allowances equal to such excess or (ii) make a payment to Buyer sufficient to purchase Emission Allowances equal to such excess using the market price of Emission Allowances at the time such determination is made. To the extent that required Emission Allowances, as determined pursuant to Section 5.19‎(b)(ii), are less than the Transferred Allowances, Buyer will make a payment to Seller equal to the value of such excess Transferred Allowances based on the market price of Emission Allowances at the time such determination is made.

SECTION 8.02 Indemnification by Buyer.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, subject to the other provisions of this Article ‎8, Buyer agrees to indemnify Parent, Seller and their respective officers, directors, employees and Affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnified Seller Entities”) and to hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Indemnifiable Losses suffered, paid or incurred by any such Indemnified Seller Entity (whether or not such Indemnifiable Losses relate to a direct claim or a Third Party claim) (%3) in connection with, arising out of or resulting from any breach of any of the representations and warranties made by Buyer in Article ‎4 or any Ancillary Agreement, (%4) in connection with, arising out of or resulting from any breach by Buyer of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (iii) in respect of Released Liabilities, (iv) related to the Assumed Liabilities or (v) related to the Acquired Assets to the extent attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date.

(d) This Section is subject to the limitations set forth in Section ‎7.03(b).

SECTION 8.03 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If an Indemnified Buyer Entity or an Indemnified Seller Entity (each, an “Indemnified Entity”) believes that a claim, demand or other circumstance exists that has given or may reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article ‎8 (whether or not the amount of Indemnifiable Losses relating thereto is then quantifiable), such Indemnified Entity shall assert its claim for indemnification by giving written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Entity”) (i) if the event or occurrence giving rise to such Claim for indemnification is, or relates to, a claim, suit, action or proceeding brought by a Person not a Party or affiliated with any such Party (a “Third Party”), within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice of such claim, suit, action or proceeding by such Indemnified Entity, or (ii) if the event or occurrence giving rise to such claim for indemnification is not, or does not relate to, a claim, suit, action or proceeding brought by a Third Party, within thirty (30) days after the discovery by the Indemnified Entity of the circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnity. Each Claim Notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail. The failure of the Indemnified Entity to give a Claim Notice (or the delay in giving a Claim Notice) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Entity of liability hereunder except (and then only) to the extent that the defense of such Third

Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding is materially prejudiced by the failure to give such Claim Notice (or the delay in giving such Claim Notice).

(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 (i) 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 ‎8.03(b)) and with its own counsel if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Entity within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such Claim Notice from the Indemnified Entity; provided, that if the Indemnified Entity reasonably concludes that there may be defenses available to the Indemnified Entity that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Entity, or if the Indemnified Entity’s outside counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Entity that there is a conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel, the Indemnified Entity shall have the right to request separate counsel from that representing the Indemnifying Party, the expense of such separate counsel to be paid by the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) negotiate a settlement or compromise of such action or claim; provided, that (x) such settlement or compromise shall include a full and unconditional waiver and release by the Third Party of all Indemnified Entities (without any cost, liability or admission of wrongdoing of any nature whatsoever to such Indemnified Entities) and (y) any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnified Entity, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 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 or (ii) 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, that any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder 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 ‎8.03(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 hereunder to the extent provided herein and, if applicable, to the extent such expenses exceed the Deductible or in the event the Deductible has been satisfied, 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 that is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Entity and reasonably available to such Indemnified Entity relating to such action or claim, except as may be prohibited by applicable Law or as would compromise any applicable attorney/client privilege. 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. If the Indemnifying Entity elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Entity shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Entity, at such Indemnified Entity’s sole cost and expense. In the event the Indemnifying Entity assumes the defense of (or otherwise elects to negotiate or settle or compromise) any action or

claim as described above, the Indemnified Entity shall reimburse the Indemnifying Entity for all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Entity in connection with such defense (or negotiation, settlement or compromise) to the extent, if applicable, that such costs and expenses do not exceed the amount of the remaining Deductible, and any amounts so reimbursed shall be applied against the amount of any remaining Deductible.

SECTION 8.04 Indemnification Generally; Buyer Guarantee.

(a) Each Indemnified Entity shall be obligated in connection with any claim for indemnification under this Article 8 to use all reasonable efforts to obtain any insurance proceeds (other than insurance proceeds under any representation and warranty insurance policy with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller) available to such Indemnified Entity with regard to the applicable claims and to recover any amounts to which it may be entitled in respect of the applicable claims pursuant to contractual or other indemnification rights that it may have against Third Parties. The amount which the Indemnifying Entity is or may be required to pay to any Indemnified Entity pursuant to this Article 8 shall be reduced (retroactively, if necessary) by any net insurance proceeds, Tax benefits or other net recovery, settlement or payment (other than insurance proceeds under any representation and warranty insurance policy with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller) actually received from a Third Party by or on behalf of such Indemnified Entity in mitigation of, or related to, the related Indemnifiable Losses (after taking into account the costs of collection of such recoveries). If an Indemnified Entity shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from the Indemnifying Entity in respect of Indemnifiable Losses (including any Purchase Price adjustment with respect to the circumstances giving rise to such payment under this Article ‎8) and shall subsequently receive net insurance proceeds, Tax benefits or other net recovery, settlement or payment (other than insurance proceeds under any representation and warranty insurance policy with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller) actually received from a Third Party 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 net insurance proceeds, Tax benefits or other net recovery, settlement or payment (other than insurance proceeds under any representation and warranty insurance policy with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller) actually received from a Third Party (after taking into account the costs of collection of such recoveries); provided, however, that any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

(b) In addition to the requirements of Section ‎8.04(a), each Indemnified Entity shall be obligated in connection with any claim for indemnification under this Article ‎8 to use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Indemnifiable Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Indemnifiable Losses; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall have no obligation to seek any recoveries under any representation and warranty insurance policy with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller.

(c) Subject to the rights of any Person providing insurance as contemplated by Section ‎8.04(a) above, the Indemnifying Entity shall be subrogated to any right of action that the

Indemnified Entity may have against any other Person with respect to any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.

(d) The indemnification provided in this Article ‎8 shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any Party hereto with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against the other Parties arising under or based upon this Agreement, any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, any applicable Law (including any relating to environmental matters) or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article ‎8).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of calculating Indemnifiable Losses in connection with a claim for indemnification under this Article ‎8, each of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements (but not for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement) that contain any qualifications as to materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or Seller Material Adverse Effect shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualifications, and any such qualification shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the amount of any Indemnifiable Losses under this Article ‎8; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the representation in clause (ii) of ‎Section 3.05(b).

(f) To induce Seller to enter into this Agreement, Buyer Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of Buyer under this Agreement strictly in accordance with the terms hereof, including without limitation, Buyer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price and Buyer’s indemnification obligations (but only to the extent such indemnification obligations arise prior to Closing), whether direct or indirect, liquidated, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due (the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, that in no event shall Buyer Guarantor’s aggregate liability to make payments in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations exceed an amount equal to Two Hundred Forty-Two Million Dollars ($242,000,000) (the limitation on the liability Buyer Guarantor may have for payments in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations as set forth in this proviso being herein referred to as the “Guarantee Payment Cap”), and this guaranty may not be enforced against Buyer Guarantor without giving effect to the Guarantee Payment Cap. Buyer Guarantor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by any applicable Law, any provision of any Law applicable hereto which restricts or in any way limits the rights of any obligee against a guarantor or surety following a default or failure of performance by an obligor with respect to whose obligations the guarantee or surety is provided. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer Guarantor expressly waives any requirement that Seller exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Buyer under this Agreement in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (subject to the Guarantee Payment Cap).
