• Certain Representations; Reservation and Availability of Shares of Common Stock or Cash (a) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Warrant Agent, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, and the Warrants have been duly authorized, executed and issued by the Company and, assuming due authentication thereof by the Warrant Agent pursuant hereto and payment therefor by the Holders as provided in the Registration Statement, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits thereof; in each case except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

• Rescission and Early Termination of Contract The Illinois Commerce Commission is considering rescission and early termination of contract regulations that may afford you opportunities within certain parameters to rescind or terminate your contract without incurring an early termination fee. In addition, your DSP’s tariff (which is on file with the Illinois Commerce Commission) may contain provisions regarding penalty-free rescission periods. Homefield Energy will comply with all applicable provisions and regulations concerning rescission and early termination of contract. Shortly after your election to take service from Homefield Energy, your DSP should provide you an enrollment notice informing you of any rescission rights you may have and the last day for making a request to rescind. If you rescind this Agreement within the timeframe specified by your DSP, your enrollment with Homefield Energy will be cancelled without penalty to you. Upon rescission in accordance with applicable law, this Agreement will be considered cancelled and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder to each other. If you do not rescind this Agreement, you still may terminate the Agreement without any termination fee or penalty within 10 business days after the date of the first bill issued to you under this Agreement by calling Homefield Energy toll-free at 000-000-0000 to let Homefield Energy know to terminate this Agreement. You may terminate a residential electric supply agreement in this manner only one time in any 12 month period. Upon termination, you will remain responsible for all obligations, including payment for Retail Power and related costs and charges, incurred under this Agreement prior to the effective date of termination, including any applicable termination fee.

(b) Parent and Merger Sub shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and complied in all material respects with all covenants required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by them prior to the Effective Time. (c) Parent shall have delivered to the Company a certificate, dated as of the Closing Date and signed by its Chief Executive Officer or another senior officer, certifying to the effect that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b) have been satisfied.
