(c)           Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will conflict in any material respect with or constitute a material violation or breach of, or a material default under, the Company’s certificate of formation or Limited Liability Company Agreement, or any indenture or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound.

(d)           This Agreement and the Note have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, by general equitable proceedings (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and by an implied covenant of good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness).

(e)           The Company is not a Disqualified Contractor.

To provide funds to make the Loan for purposes of refunding the Prior Bonds, the Authority will issue the Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000.  The Bonds will be issued pursuant to the Indenture and will bear interest, mature and be subject to redemption all as set forth therein. The Company hereby approves the terms and conditions of the Indenture and the Bonds, and the terms and conditions under which the Bonds will be issued, sold and delivered.

The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds (including any underwriting discount) shall be loaned to the Company pursuant to Section 3.1, and such proceeds (net of any underwriting discount) shall be paid over to the Trustee for the purpose of refunding the Prior Bonds as provided in the Indenture.

Section 2.2    Investment and Use of Fund Moneys. At the written request of an Authorized Representative of the Company, any moneys held as part of the Bond Fund (except moneys representing principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Bonds which are deemed paid under Section 16.01 of the Indenture) shall be invested or reinvested by the Trustee as provided in Section 8.02 of the Indenture.  The Authority and the Company each hereby covenants that it will restrict that investment and reinvestment and the use of the proceeds of the Bonds in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary, after taking into account reasonable expectations at the time of delivery of and payment for the Bonds, so that the Bonds will not constitute arbitrage bonds under Section 148 of the Code.

Any Authorized Representative of the Authority having responsibility for issuing the Bonds is authorized and directed, alone or in conjunction with an Authorized Representative of the Company and/or any other officer, partner, employee or agent of or consultant to the Authority or the Company, to give an appropriate certificate of the Authority pursuant to Section 148 of the Code, for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings for the issuance of the Bonds, setting forth the reasonable expectations of the Authority regarding the amount and use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the facts, estimates and circumstances on which those expectations are based, all as of the Issue Date.  The Company shall provide the Authority with, and the Authority’s certificate may be based on, a certificate of the Authorized Representative of the Company or other appropriate officer, partner, employee or agent of or consultant to the Company setting forth the reasonable expectations of the Company on the Issue Date regarding the amount and use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the facts, estimates and circumstances on which they are based.

III.           Loan By Authority; Loan Payments; Other Payments

Section 3.1    Loan by Authority.

Section 3.2    Loan Payments.

(a)           In consideration of the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds by the Authority, the Company hereby agrees to pay to the Trustee for the account of the Authority Loan Payments in such amounts and manner so as to enable the Trustee to make payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due and payable whether at stated maturity or by acceleration, redemption or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to make any Loan Payment hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any reduction under the Indenture of the amount of the corresponding payment required to be made by the Authority of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds.  Pursuant to the Indenture, the Authority directs the Trustee to apply such Loan Payments in the manner provided in the Indenture.  Whenever payment or provision for payment has been made in respect of the principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on all of the Bonds, the Loan Payments shall be deemed paid in full.

Section 3.3    Purchase Payments. To the extent that moneys on deposit in the Remarketing Proceeds Account of the Purchase Fund established under the Indenture are insufficient to pay the full purchase price of Bonds payable pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Indenture on the applicable Purchase Date, the Company shall promptly pay to the Trustee as Purchase Payments for deposit in the Company Fund established under Section 5.07 of the Indenture amounts sufficient to cover such shortfalls in sufficient time to enable the Trustee to deliver to the Tender Agent the purchase price of Bonds payable pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Indenture; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to make any Purchase Payment hereunder shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that moneys shall have been paid by a Credit Facility Issuer to the Trustee for such payment in respect of the Bonds.

Section 3.4    Additional Payments. The Company shall pay as Additional Payments hereunder: (a) to the Authority, the Authority’s Fee on the Issue Date and any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred or to be paid by the Authority in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Bonds or otherwise related to actions taken by the Authority under this Agreement or the Indenture or any amendment thereof, supplement thereto or consent or waiver thereunder, including without limitation any annual charge made by a rating agency to maintain a rating on the Bonds; (b) to the Local Entity, the Local Entity’s fee on the Issue Date and any and all costs and expenses incurred or to be paid by the Local Entity in connection with the Project Facilities; and (c) to the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Bond Registrar, the Paying Agent and their agents, their reasonable fees, charges and expenses for acting as such under the Indenture.  The obligations of the Company under clause (c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Indenture, payment or defeasance of the Bonds and the removal or resignation of the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Bond Registrar or the Paying Agent in accordance with the Indenture for any reason.

Section 3.5    Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Company to make Loan Payments, Purchase Payments and Additional Payments shall be absolute and unconditional, and the Company shall make such payments without abatement, diminution or deduction regardless of any cause or circumstances whatsoever including without limitation any defense, set-off, recoupment or counterclaim which the Company may have or assert against the Authority, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent or any other Person, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with this Agreement, it being the intention of the parties that the payments required of the Company hereunder will be paid in full when due without any delay or diminution whatsoever.  Loan Payments and Purchase Payments required to be paid by or on behalf of the Company hereunder shall be received by the Authority or the Trustee as net sums and the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid all charges against or which might diminish such net sums.

Section 3.6    Assignment of Authority’s Rights. To secure the payment of the Debt Service, the Authority shall pledge and assign to the Trustee all the Authority’s rights in, to and under this Agreement (except for the Unassigned Authority’s Rights), the Revenues, the Note and the other property comprising the Trust Estate.  The Company consents to such pledge and assignment and agrees to make or cause to be made Loan Payments and Purchase Payments directly to the Trustee without defense or set-off by reason of any dispute between the Company and the Trustee, and further agrees to issue and deliver the Note directly to the Trustee to be held by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.  Whenever the Company is required to obtain the consent of the Authority hereunder, the Company shall also obtain the consent of the Trustee; provided that, except as otherwise expressly stipulated herein or in the Indenture, the Company shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent with respect to the Unassigned Authority’s Rights.

The Company will indemnify and hold the Trustee and its directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties and expenses, including out-of-pocket expenses, incidental expenses, reasonable legal fees and expenses, and the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any such claim (“Losses”) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against, the Indemnitees or any of them for following any instruction or other direction upon which the Trustee is authorized to rely pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Bonds, the Note or the Indenture.  In addition to and not in limitation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company also agrees to indemnify and hold the Indemnitees and each of them harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnitees or any of them in connection with or arising out of the Trustee’s performance under this Agreement, the Bonds or the Indenture or the administration thereof, or in collecting under the Note, except in any case as a result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Trustee.

In case any action or proceeding is brought against the Authority or the Trustee in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, the party seeking indemnity promptly shall give notice of that action or proceeding brought against it to the Company, and the Company upon receipt of that notice shall have the obligation and the right to assume the defense of the action or proceeding; provided that failure of a party to give that notice shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Section unless (and then only to the extent) that failure prejudices the defense of the action or proceeding by the Company.  At its own expense, an indemnified party may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense.  The Authority or the Trustee, as the case may be, will cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s expense, with respect to its assumption of the defense of any such action or proceeding, and will take such reasonable actions as are requested of it by the Company, at the Company’s expense, in connection therewith.  The Company shall not be liable for any settlement made without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Company shall not approve any settlement involving the Trustee without the Trustee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The indemnification set forth above is intended to and shall (i) include the indemnification of all affected directors, officers, agents and employees of the Authority and the Trustee, respectively, and (ii) be enforceable by the Authority and the Trustee, respectively, to the full extent permitted by law.

The provisions of this Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Indenture, payment or defeasance of the Bonds and the removal or resignation of the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture for any reason.

(3)           not otherwise take or omit to take, or permit to be taken on its behalf, any actions which, if taken or omitted, would adversely affect the excludability from the gross income of the holders of interest paid on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes (other than a holder who is a “substantial user” of the Project Facilities or a “related person” as those terms are used in Section 147(a) of the Code).

(b)           The Authority and the Company mutually covenant for the benefit of the Bondholders that they will not use the proceeds of the Bonds, any moneys derived, directly or indirectly, from the use or investment thereof or any other moneys on deposit in any fund or account maintained in respect of the Bonds (whether such moneys were derived from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or from other sources) in a manner which would cause the Bonds to be treated as “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.

(1)           If acceleration of the principal amount of the Bonds has been declared pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Indenture, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Company, shall declare all Loan Payments and amounts due on the Note to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable; and

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be obligated to take any step which in its opinion will or might cause it to expend money or otherwise incur liability unless and until a satisfactory indemnity bond has been furnished to the Trustee at no cost or expense to the Trustee.  Any amounts collected as Loan Payments or applicable to Loan Payments and any other amounts which would be applicable to payment of Debt Service collected pursuant to action taken under this Section shall, after the deduction of the Trustee’s charges and expenses, be paid into the Bond Fund and applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture or, if the Outstanding Bonds have been paid and discharged in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, shall be paid as provided in Section 6.02(e) of the Indenture for transfers of remaining amounts in the Bond Fund.

(e)           The provisions of this Section are subject to the further limitation that the annulment by the Trustee of its declaration pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Indenture that all of the Bonds are immediately due and payable also shall constitute an annulment of any corresponding declaration made pursuant to Subsection 6.2(a)(1); provided that no such waiver or rescission shall extend to or affect any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Authority or the Trustee by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, including without limitation the remedies provided in the Act, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.  No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair that right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  In order to entitle the Authority or the Trustee to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than any notice required by law or for which express provision is made herein.

Section 6.4    Payment of Legal Fees and Expenses. If an Event of Default should occur and the Authority, the Credit Facility Issuer (if any) or the Trustee should incur expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Note or the collection of sums due hereunder or thereunder, the Company shall reimburse the Authority, the Credit Facility Issuer (if any) and the Trustee, as applicable, for the expenses so incurred, upon demand.

Section 6.5    No Waiver. No failure by the Authority or the Trustee to insist upon the strict performance by the Company of any provision hereof or of the Note shall constitute a waiver of their right to strict performance and no express waiver shall be deemed to apply to any other existing or subsequent right to remedy the failure by the Company to observe or comply with any provision hereof.  No failure by the Company to observe and perform any of the covenants set forth in Section 4.2 hereof shall be waived by the Trustee without the written consent of the Authority.

Section 6.6    Notice of Default. The Company shall immediately notify the Trustee and the Authority in writing if it becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or of any fact, condition or event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would become an Event of Default.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT FACILITIES

The Project Facilities consist generally of those portions of the Company’s wet limestone flue gas desulfurization (or “FGD”) systems currently being installed at the Montour Plant, the Xxxxxxx Island Plant and the Keystone Plant.  The Montour Plant consists of two coal-fired electric generating units; each rated at 745 megawatt electric (“MW(e)”) gross and 755 MW(e) gross maximum continuous load.  The Xxxxxxx Island Plant consists of three coal-fired electric generating units; Unit 1 is rated at 363.3 MW(e); Unit 2 is rated at 405 MW(e); and Unit 3 is rated at 790.4 MW(e).  The Keystone Plant consists of two coal-fired electric generating units, with a total rating of approximately 1700 MW(e).  The Company is one of seven entities that own the Keystone Plant.  Reliant Energy, another owner, operates the Keystone Plant under contract with the owners.  Specifically, the Company will (i) install one FGD unit at each of Units 1 and 2 at the Montour Plant, (ii) install one FGD unit at Unit 3 and one FGD unit for Units 1 and 2 at the Xxxxxxx Island Plant, and (iii) pay a portion of its allocable share of qualifying costs of the FGD systems for the two units at the Keystone Plant.  The FGD systems are designed to remove over 97% of the sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the exhaust, or flue gas, created by the burning of coal at the Plants through a series of processes that will involve, among other things, the injection of a limestone and water mixture into the flue gas to ultimately form calcium sulfate, or gypsum, as a byproduct.

EXEMPT FACILITIES NOTE

(PENNSYLVANIA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FINANCING AUTHORITY)

SERIES 2009B

This Note is issued pursuant to a Series 2009B Exempt Facilities Loan Agreement dated as of April 1, 2009 the “Agreement”) by and between the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority (the “Authority”) and the Company (as hereinafter defined) relating to the refunding of bonds previously issued to provide financing for certain costs of Project Facilities as described below through the issuance of the Authority’s Exempt Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2009B (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project) in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 (the “Bonds”).  The proceeds of the Bonds will be applied to refund all of the Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2008B (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project) (the “Prior Bonds”), issued by the Authority for the purpose of financing the cost of certain “pollution control facilities” (as defined in the Act) (collectively, the “Project Facilities”), as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached to the Agreement, on behalf of the Company.

PPL Energy Supply, LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, for value received, unconditionally promises to pay to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (including its successors in such capacity, the “Trustee”) under the Trust Indenture dated as of April 1, 2009 (as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”) between the Trustee and the Authority, the principal sum of FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($50,000,000.00) on December 1, 2038, and to pay (i) interest thereon from the date hereof until the payment of such principal sum has been made or provided for at a rate or rates at all times equal to the interest rate or rates from time to time borne by the Bonds and payable on each date that interest is payable on the Bonds, and (ii) to the extent provided by law, on overdue interest at the rate or rates borne by the Bonds; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to make any payment hereunder (a) shall be reduced by the amount of any reduction under the Indenture of the amount of the corresponding payment required to be made by the Authority of the principal of or premium or interest on the Bonds and (b) if a Credit Facility is in effect with respect to the Bonds, shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that moneys shall have been paid by a Credit Facility Issuer to the Trustee for such payment in respect of the Bonds.

If the Bonds become subject to redemption as provided therein and in the Indenture, the Company shall, as provided in the Agreement, on or before the proposed redemption date for the Bonds, pay to the Trustee the whole or appropriate portion of the unpaid principal amount of this Note with interest accrued to the proposed redemption date, together with such premium as is necessary to pay the corresponding premium, if any, on the Bonds.

If, for any reason, the amounts specified above are not sufficient to make corresponding payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all of the Bonds, when such payments are due, the Company shall pay as additional amounts due hereunder, the amounts required from time to time to make up any such deficiency.  Whenever payment or provision for payment has been made in respect of the principal or redemption price of, and interest on, all of the Bonds in accordance with the Indenture, this Note shall be deemed paid in full and shall be canceled and returned to the Company.

All payments of principal, redemption price and interest shall be made to the Trustee at its corporate trust office designated pursuant to the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.  All payments shall be made in funds which will be available no later than 10:00 a.m. on the applicable due date, and shall be in the full amount required hereunder unless the Trustee notifies the Company that it is entitled to a credit under the Agreement or the Indenture.

The obligations of the Company to make the payments required hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional without defense or setoff by reason of any cause or circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure of consideration, destruction of or damage to the Project Facilities or the Plants, commercial frustration of purpose, or failure of the Authority to perform and observe any agreement, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with the Agreement, it being the intention of the Company and the Authority that the payments hereunder will be paid in full when and as due without any delay or diminution whatsoever.

In case one or more of the Events of Default specified in Section 6.1 of the Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in each and every such case, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Company, may declare the unpaid balance of this Note to be due and payable immediately, if concurrently with or prior to such notice the unpaid principal amount of the Bonds has been declared to be due and payable, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Note or in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after any declaration of acceleration hereunder there is an annulment of any declaration of acceleration with respect to the Bonds, such annulment shall also automatically constitute an annulment of any corresponding declaration under this Note and a waiver and rescission of the consequences of such declaration.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce its rights under this Note or the Agreement and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored to their respective positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken, subject to any such adverse determination.

In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay all amounts due hereunder and under the Agreement upon such demand, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company and collect, in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

This Note shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be duly executed and delivered.

2.           Neither the Contractor nor any subcontractor nor any person on their behalf shall in any manner discriminate against or intimidate any employee involved in the manufacture of supplies, the performance of work, or any other activity required under the contract on account of gender, race, creed, or color.

3.           Contractors and subcontractors shall establish and maintain a written sexual harassment policy and shall inform their employees of the policy.  The policy must contain a notice that sexual harassment will not be tolerated and employees who practice it will be disciplined.

4.           Contractors shall not discriminate by reason of gender, race, creed, or color against any subcontractor or supplier who is qualified to perform the work to which the contracts relates.

5.           The Contractor and each subcontractor shall furnish all necessary employment documents and records to and permit access to their books, records, and accounts by the contracting agency and the Bureau of Contract Administration and Business Development, for purposes of investigation, to ascertain compliance with provisions of this Nondiscrimination/Sexual Harassment Clause.  If the Contractor or any subcontractor does not possess documents or records reflecting the necessary information requested, the Contractor or subcontractor shall furnish such information on reporting forms supplied by the contracting agency or the Bureau of Contract Administration and Business Development.

6.           The Contractor shall include the provisions of this Nondiscrimination/Sexual Harassment Clause in every subcontract so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor.

7.           The Commonwealth may cancel or terminate the contract, and all money due or to become due under the contract may be forfeited for a violation of the terms and conditions of this Nondiscrimination/Sexual Harassment Clause.  In addition, the agency may proceed with debarment or suspension and may place the Contractor in the Contractor Responsibility File.

EXHIBIT D

RIGHT-TO-KNOW LAW

a.           The Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law (hereinafter referred to as the “RTKL”), 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-3104, applies to this Contract. For the purpose of administering the matters relating to the RTKL set forth in this Addendum, the applicable “Commonwealth agency” as provided in the RTKL shall be the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority, hereinafter referred to  as the “Agency.”  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in Exhibit C hereto and in the RTKL.

b.           If Agency needs the Contractor’s assistance in any matter arising out of the RTKL, Agency shall notify the Contractor using the legal contact information provided in this Contract. Contractor, at any time, may designate a different contact for such purpose upon reasonable prior written notice to Agency.

c.           Upon written notification from Agency that it requires Contractor’s assistance in responding to a request under the RTKL for information that may be in Contractor’s possession, constituting, or alleged to constitute, a Public Record in accordance with the RTKL, Contractor shall:

1. Provide Agency, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of such notification, access to, and copies of, any document or information in Contractor’s possession arising out of this Contract that Agency reasonably believes may be a Public Record under the RTKL (“Requested Information”), to permit Agency to evaluate whether such Requested Information is, in fact, a Public Record within the scope of the subject RTKL information request; provided, however, that providing such Requested Information not previously in Agency’s possession shall not be considered an admission by the Contractor that such records are Public Records under the RTKL; and

2. Provide such other assistance as Agency reasonably may request, in order to comply with the RTKL.

If Contractor fails to provide the Requested Information within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of such request, Contractor shall indemnify and hold Agency harmless for any damages, penalties, detriment or harm that Agency may incur under the RTKL as a result of Contractor’s failure, including any statutory damages assessed against Agency.

d.           If Contractor considers the Requested Information not to be a Public Record, due to the inclusion of trade secret, confidential proprietary information, or any other reason for exemption from production as a Public Record under the RTKL, Contractor shall provide a written statement to Agency within ten (10) days of receipt of Agency request for the Requested Information. This statement shall be signed by a representative of Contractor, explaining why Contractor considers the Requested Information exempt from public disclosure.

e.           If such a written statement is timely provided, Agency will rely upon it in denying a RTKL request for the information. Provided, however, that if Agency reasonably determines that such written statement is patently flawed or the Requested Information is, on its face, clearly not protected from disclosure under the RTKL, Contractor shall, subject to its rights of appeal, provide the Requested Information within five (5) business days.

f.           Contractor shall be entitled to challenge or appeal of any decision of the Agency, Office of Open Records (“OOR”) or any applicable court mandating the release of any record to the public which Contractor believes is not properly subject to disclosure under the RTKL; provided, however, that (i) Contractor shall be solely responsible for all costs related to such action; and (ii) Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless Agency from and against any and all damages, penalties, detriment or harm that Agency may incur under the RTKL as a result of such action, including any statutory damages assessed against Agency.  If Contractor does not appeal or is not successful after final appeal from a determination by the OOR or Pennsylvania courts, Contractor agrees to waive all rights or remedies that may be available to it as a result of Agency’s subsequent disclosure of Requested Information pursuant to such a decision by the OOR or Pennsylvania courts.  Agency will reimburse Contractor for any costs associated with complying with this provision, but only to the extent allowed under the fee schedule established by the OOR, or as otherwise provided by the RTKL, if the fee schedule is inapplicable.

g.           Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth herein is intended, nor shall it be construed, to expand Contractor’s obligations, or Agency’s authority, beyond those obligations and authority, respectively, as are set forth in the RTKL, and the sole remedy for any failure by Contractor to perform any obligation arising hereunder, or under the RTKL, shall be limited to those specifically provided for pursuant to the RTKL and shall not constitute a default or event of default under the Contract.
