Section 3.1 Purchase Price; Xxxxxxx Deposit.

(a) The purchase price for the Acquired Assets will be, in addition to the Assumed Liabilities and the Cure Amounts (which shall be paid by Purchaser to the applicable counterparty on or about the Closing Date), a cash amount equal to $6,500,000.00 (such cash amount, the “Cash Component Price” and, together with the Assumed Liabilities and the Cure Amounts, the “Purchase Price”).

(b) Purchaser or one of its Affiliates has made an xxxxxxx deposit by wire transfer of immediately available funds into the Deposit Escrow Account equal to ten percent (10%) of the cash amount of the Purchase Price (the “Xxxxxxx Deposit”) in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order. The Deposit Escrow Funds while remaining in the Deposit Escrow Account, shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process, or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Seller, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, and the Deposit Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Deposit Escrow Funds shall be released in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and Bidding Procedures Order. All interest earned on the Xxxxxxx Deposit in the Deposit Escrow Account shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent (i) following the Closing, to Purchaser, or (ii) if the Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, to Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, in accordance with Section 10.2.

At the Closing, (i) the Xxxxxxx Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price and distributed by the Escrow Agent to Sellers; and (ii) Purchaser will pay to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing by Sellers an amount equal to the Purchase Price minus the Xxxxxxx Deposit.

Section 3.2 Withholding of Tax. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any amounts Purchaser reasonably believes that it is required to deduct and withhold under any applicable Tax Law in connection with payments to be made by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, that, if Purchaser believes that any such deduction or withholding of Tax (other than any deduction or withholding as a result of the failure to provide a W-9 for Sellers in compliance with Section 4.2(a)(vi)) is required with respect to any payment under this Agreement, then Purchaser shall give written notice to Sellers describing the basis for such withholding in reasonable detail at least five (5) Business Days prior to making such payment and Purchaser shall provide Sellers with a reasonable opportunity to provide any applicable certificate, form or documentation that would reduce or eliminate the requirement to deduct and withhold Tax with respect to such payment, and Purchaser shall otherwise cooperate with Sellers and take such steps as Sellers may reasonably request to reduce or eliminate such withholding obligation to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Sellers by Purchaser to the extent such amounts have been timely paid to the appropriate Tax authority.

Section 3.3 Allocation of Consideration. The Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities, and any other items required to be treated as consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes will be allocated among the Acquired Assets for all Tax purposes in accordance with section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder in a manner consistent with the principles set forth on Schedule 3.3 (the “Allocation Principles”). Within five (5) days of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide to Sellers a draft allocation in a manner consistent with the Allocation Principles for Sellers’ review and comment. If Sellers do not provide Purchaser a written objection to the draft allocation within five (5) days of receipt, the draft allocation shall be deemed to be agreed upon by the parties. If Sellers propose changes to the draft allocation within such five (5)-day period, Sellers and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to amend any aspects of the allocation in dispute; provided, however, that if Sellers and Purchaser are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the allocation within five (5) days after the date Purchaser received notice of Sellers’ objection, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant. The findings of the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive on Sellers and Purchaser. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accountant, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and which proportionate allocation shall be conclusively determined by the Independent Accountant. Purchaser and Sellers shall (a) complete and file IRS Form 8594 with their respective U.S. Federal income Tax Returns consistent with such allocation for the taxable year in which the Closing occurs, and (b) not take any position (and cause their respective Affiliates to not take any position) on any Tax Return, before any Governmental or Regulatory Authority charged with the imposition, assessment or collection of Taxes, or in any judicial proceeding, that is in any manner inconsistent with the terms of such allocation, as finally determined; provided, however, that (i) no party hereto shall be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to negotiate, compromise and/or settle any Tax audit, claim or similar proceedings in connection with such allocation and (ii) the allocation shall not be binding upon Sellers for purposes of any plan filed in connection with the Bankruptcy Cases and shall not, and shall not be interpreted to, have any effect on any distributions to Sellers’ creditors or equityholders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Section 3.3 shall survive the Closing without limitation.

Article VI

Regulatory Matters

Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees with Xxxxxxx, and each Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Xxxxxxxxx, in each case, as follows:

Section 6.1 Regulatory Filings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party shall use Reasonable Efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary under applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.2 Objections or Other Challenges. If (a) any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under any Law or if any suit is instituted by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violating any Law, or (b) any filing made pursuant to Section 6.1 is reasonably likely to be rejected or conditioned by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority, each party hereto shall use Reasonable Efforts to resolve such objections or challenge such Governmental or Regulatory Authority or private party may have to such transactions, including to vacate, lift, reverse or overturn any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser shall undertake promptly any and all actions required to complete lawfully the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the Outside Closing Date, including by (i) responding to and complying with, as promptly as reasonably practicable, any request for information or documentary material regarding the transactions from any relevant Governmental or Regulatory Authority (including responding to any “second request” for additional information or documentary material under applicable Law as promptly as reasonably practicable), (ii) causing the prompt expiration or termination (including requesting early termination and/or approvals thereof) of any applicable waiting period and clearance or approval by any relevant Governmental or Regulatory Authority, including defense against, and the resolution of, any objections or challenges, in court or otherwise, by any relevant Governmental or Regulatory Authority preventing consummation of the transactions and (iii) making any necessary post-Closing filings or proffering and consenting to a governmental order providing for the sale or other disposition, or the holding separate, of particular Acquired Assets, categories of Acquired Assets or lines of business, of the Acquired Assets or of any other assets or lines of business of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in order to mitigate or otherwise remedy any requirements of, or concerns of, any Governmental or Regulatory Authority, or proffering and consenting to any other restriction, prohibition or limitation on any of its assets, the Acquired Assets, Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates, in order to mitigate or remedy such requirements or concerns, in each case conditioned on consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The entry by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority in any legal proceeding of a governmental order permitting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby but which is subject to certain conditions or requires Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to take any action, including any restructuring of the Acquired Assets or lines of business of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any changes to the existing business of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, shall not be deemed a failure to satisfy the conditions specified in Article IX. Purchaser further agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall, prior to Closing, acquire, market, operate or control, nor enter into any other Contract to acquire, market, operate or control, any business similar to any portion of the Proterra Transit Business Unit if the proposed acquisition or ability to market, operate or control such business could reasonably be expected to increase the market power attributable to Purchaser and/or its Affiliates in a manner materially adverse to approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that would reasonably be expected to prevent or otherwise materially interfere with, or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.

Article VII

Certain Covenants

Section 7.1 Conduct of Business Pending Closing. Except (1) those matters set forth in Section 7.1 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, (2) as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement, (3) as required by applicable Law or any Governmental or Regulatory Authority, or (4) with the written consent of Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), during the period from the Execution Date to the Closing Date, each Seller will:

(a) use its Reasonable Efforts to comply with all Laws applicable to the conduct of the Proterra Transit Business Unit to the extent relating to the Acquired Assets or the ownership and use of the Acquired Assets, in each case, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(b) not sell, assign, transfer, convey, license or dispose of (including by waiver or release) any of the Transferred Contracts or, other than in the Ordinary Course of Business, other material Acquired Assets;

(c) not cancel, terminate, fail to renew or amend, modify or change, in any material respect, any material Permit, in each case, to the extent required to perform its material obligations under the Transferred Contracts;

(d) not amend, supplement or modify in any material respect, terminate (other than with cause) or waive any material term under, exercise any material option under or give any material consent with respect to any material Transferred Contract, in each case, other than in the Ordinary Course of Business;

(e) not institute, settle or consent to any material litigation, arbitration or other proceeding (whether at law or in equity) or Order arising out of or related to the Acquired Assets that would (i) become an Assumed Liability or (ii) have a material and adverse effect on Purchaser’s ownership, use or operation of, or the value of, the Acquired Assets after the Closing; and

(f) not agree in writing to take any of the actions described above in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 7.1.

Section 7.2 Efforts to Satisfy Closing Conditions. Each party to this Agreement will use their good-faith, reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to (a) satisfy all of the conditions set forth in Article IX; (b) comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article IX, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (c) make any required filing with or notification to, and obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental or Regulatory Authority and any other third party that is required to be made or obtained by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Purchaser Required Approvals.

Section 7.3 Assets Incapable of Transfer. To the extent that any Transferred Contract is not assignable or transferable without the consent of another Person and such consent requirement is not made unenforceable by the Bankruptcy Code, this Agreement will not constitute an assignment or transfer thereof, an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, or an agreement to effect such an assignment or transfer, if such assignment or transfer, attempted assignment or transfer, or agreement would constitute a breach thereof. Sellers will, prior to the Closing, use their Reasonable Efforts to obtain the consent of such other Person to the assignment or transfer of any such Transferred Contract to Purchaser in all cases in which (a) such consent is or may be required for such assignment or transfer and (b) such consent requirement is not made unenforceable by the Bankruptcy Code. Purchaser will, without additional cost or expense to Purchaser, cooperate with Sellers in their efforts to obtain such consents. If any such consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, Sellers shall use their Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in reasonable and lawful arrangements, to the extent reasonably practicable, designed to provide for Purchaser the benefits thereunder, including (a) adherence to reasonable procedures established by Purchaser for the immediate transfer to Purchaser of any payments or other funds received by Purchaser thereunder from the other party to the Transferred Contract for services performed by Purchaser after the Closing and (b) enforcement for the benefit of Purchaser of any and all rights of Sellers thereunder against the other party or parties thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such other party or parties or otherwise. For purposes of clarification, Reasonable Efforts by Sellers will in no event require the payment of any money or permit, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, the amendment or modification of any material term or provision of any Transferred Contract, but Reasonable Efforts shall include appropriate filings by Sellers in the Bankruptcy Court seeking a determination that the Bankruptcy Code renders unenforceable the consent requirement in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to obtain any such consent will not give rise to Purchaser’s ability not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the beneficial interest in and to the Transferred Contracts, to the fullest extent permitted by the relevant Transferred Contract and applicable Law, will pass to Purchaser.

Section 7.4 Discovery of Breach. Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser if, prior to the Closing, Sellers conclude or discover that any of Sellers’ representations and warranties contained in this Agreement is not accurate in any material respect such that the conditions set forth in Article IX are incapable of being satisfied, which notice will summarize the reason for such conclusion. Purchaser shall promptly notify Sellers if, prior to the Closing, Purchaser concludes or discovers that any of Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement is not accurate in any material respect such that the conditions set forth in Article IX are incapable of being satisfied, which notice will summarize the reason for such conclusion.

Section 7.5 Restricted Use of Confidential Information. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that all information furnished to it in connection with this Agreement, the Related Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) is subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and (ii) subject to Section 2 of the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (including any expiration or termination thereof in accordance with its terms), the parties hereto agree that (A) during the period from the Execution Date to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall hold all Confidential Information in accordance with the obligations set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (as if Purchaser were the Receiving Party thereunder) and (B) from and after the Closing Date, for a period of five (5) years, (x) Purchaser shall hold all Confidential Information, to the extent relating to any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities in accordance with the confidentiality and non-use obligations set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (as if Purchaser were the Receiving Party thereunder) and (y) Sellers shall hold all Confidential Information, to the extent relating to any Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities in accordance with the confidentiality and non-use obligations set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (as if Sellers were the Receiving Party thereunder). If this Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Section 7.6 Review and Inspections. Subject to Section 4.3, during the period from the Execution Date to the Closing Date, upon reasonable advance written notice, Sellers will provide Purchaser and its Representatives and designees with reasonable access to Seller’s books, records, systems, system master data and transactional data and facilities and reasonably make appropriate accountants, attorneys and advisors available during normal business hours in order to permit Purchaser to complete its review of Sellers for purposes of facilitating the transfer to Purchaser of the Acquired Assets, and will reasonably promptly comply with any reasonable requests relating thereto made by or on behalf of Purchaser. The parties will use Reasonable Efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this Section 7.6 in a manner so as to preserve the applicable privilege. Any party may share information with any other party on an “outside counsel only” basis. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the parties to share any information covered by the attorney client privilege, work product doctrine or other similar privilege. Sellers acknowledge that Purchaser’s review includes an assessment of and preparation for the efficient and orderly transition of the Acquired Assets to Purchaser, at and after and subject to the Closing.

Section 7.7 No Use of Sellers Brand. Purchaser shall, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, (a) cease use of the Sellers Brand and (b) change signage and stationery and otherwise discontinue public use of the Sellers Brand.

Purchaser or its Affiliates may assign and otherwise transfer such license, in whole or in part, following written notice to Volvo Battery Solutions LLC (0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and an additional copy to Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, LLP, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 Attention: Xxxxx X.

Section 11.4 Notice of Sale. Notice of the sale of Acquired Assets contemplated in this Agreement shall be served in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Local Rules of the Bankruptcy Court and the Bidding Procedures Order.

Each of the parties hereto hereby (a) irrevocably submits with regard to any such legal proceeding to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, the assumption and assignment of the Transferred Contracts, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from the Bankruptcy Court or that such action is brought in an inconvenient forum and (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby in any court other than the Bankruptcy Court; provided, that, a party may commence any action or proceeding in a court other than the Bankruptcy Court solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by the Bankruptcy Court.

EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 12.4 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) This Agreement may be amended, superseded, canceled, renewed, or extended, and the terms hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law (i) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party, (ii) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given, and (iii) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.

(b) A failure or omission of any party to insist, in any instance, upon strict performance by another party of any term or provision of this Agreement or to exercise any of its rights hereunder will not be deemed a modification of any term or provision hereof or a waiver or relinquishment of the future performance of any such term or provision by such party, nor will such failure or omission constitute a waiver of the right of such party to insist upon future performance by another party of any such term or provision or any other term or provision of this Agreement.

Section 12.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Seller Disclosure Schedules, the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, all Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the documents, agreements, certificates and instruments referred to herein and therein, including the Related Agreements, Confidentiality Agreement and related Orders, including the Sale Order, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior representations, warranties, agreements, and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters and other than any written agreement of the parties that expressly provides that it is not superseded by this Agreement.

Section 12.6 Headings: Interpretation. The headings in this Agreement are intended solely for convenience of reference and will be given no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, the singular includes the plural, and the plural includes the singular.

Section 12.7 No Assignment: Binding Effect. This Agreement is not assignable by any party without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, without the prior written consent of Sellers, assign this Agreement or all or any portion of Purchaser’s rights, interests and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates upon notice given to Sellers at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, provided however, that in no event will such an assignment release Purchaser from its obligations hereunder. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Any electronic signature, including via portable document format (pdf) or DocuSign, attached hereto will be deemed to be an original and will have the same force and effect as an original signature.

Section 12.9 Incorporation by Reference. The Seller Disclosure Schedules, the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules and other Schedules and Exhibits and the documents referenced therein constitute integral parts of this Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Section 12.10 Time of the Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Section 12.11 Specific Performance. Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by a party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by a party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any party violates or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by such party herein, without limiting or waiving in any respect any rights or remedies of a party under this Agreement now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, the non-breaching party or parties shall, in addition to any other remedy to which a party is entitled at law or in equity, be entitled to specific performance of such covenant or agreement or seek any other equitable relief, in each case without the proof of actual damages. Each party agrees to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, and agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (a) the other party has an adequate remedy at law, or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 12.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Except as provided in Section 12.16, the terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties hereto to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, all provisions contained in this Agreement with respect to employee benefit plans or compensation of any employees of a Seller are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties hereto, and nothing contained herein (i) shall confer upon any former, current or future employee of Sellers or Purchaser or any legal representative or beneficiary thereof any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment, of any nature, for any specified period, (ii) shall cause the employment status of any former, present or future employee to be other than terminable at will, (iii) shall confer any third party beneficiary rights upon any such employee or any dependent or beneficiary thereof or any heirs or assigns thereof or (iv) shall constitute an amendment of any Benefit Plan or other employee compensation or benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement of Sellers, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 12.13 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each party hereto will pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and closing of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby provided. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the obligation of each party to pay its own expenses will be subject to any rights of such party arising from a breach of this Agreement by another party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Sellers agree to pay all costs of releasing existing Liens and other Interests and recording the releases, (b) Purchaser agrees to pay any filing fees in connection with the filings made pursuant to the HSR Act and any other federal, state or local Governmental or Regulatory Authority in accordance with Section 6.1 and (c) Purchaser will pay the cost of all document recordation costs and all Transfer Taxes not determined to be exempt in accordance with Section 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code arising by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent the transactions contemplated herein are determined not to be exempt from such costs.

Section 12.14 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision contained herein is, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 12.15 Public Announcements. Prior to the Closing, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the Bankruptcy Court, the Bidding Procedures or Bidding Procedures Order or by obligations of Purchaser or Sellers or their respective Affiliates pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange, Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such release or make any such statement without the prior written consent of the other (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). From and after the Closing, the parties hereto may make public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby so long as such announcements do not disclose the specific terms or conditions of this Agreement, except where such terms and conditions have already been disclosed as required by Law or by obligations of Purchaser or Sellers or their respective Affiliates pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange or the Bankruptcy Court; provided, that the issuing party shall use its Reasonable Efforts to consult with the other party with respect to the text thereof to the extent practicable.

Section 12.16 No Liability; Release.

(a) (i) No past, present or future director, officer, manager, employee, incorporator, member, partner or equityholder or other Affiliates of (A) any Seller (other than such Seller in its capacity as such), or (B) Purchaser (other than any obligations hereunder or assumed herein), and (ii) none of the lenders or agents under any Indebtedness of a Seller, in any case, shall have any Liability for any obligations or liabilities of Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, under this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument entered into in connection herewith of or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby may only be brought against Persons that are expressly named as parties hereto or thereto, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein or therein. Other than the parties hereto, no other party shall have any Liability or obligation for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations or liabilities of any party under this Agreement or the agreements, documents or instruments contemplated hereby or of or for any legal proceeding based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the breach, termination or failure to consummate such transactions), in each case whether based on contract, tort, fraud, strict liability, other Law or otherwise and whether by piercing the corporate veil, by a claim by or on behalf of a party hereto or another Person or otherwise.

(b) Effective upon the Closing Date, Purchaser acknowledges that it has no claim, counterclaim, setoff, recoupment, action or cause of action of any kind or nature whatsoever against any of the individuals or entities within the Seller Group, that directly or indirectly arises out of, is based upon, or is in any manner connected with any Prior Event (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Avoidance Actions) (collectively, the “Purchaser Released Claims”); and, should any Purchaser Released Claims nonetheless exist, Purchaser hereby (i) releases and discharges each member of the Seller Group from any liability whatsoever on such Purchaser Released Claims that directly or indirectly arises out of, is based upon, or is in any manner connected with a Prior Event, and (ii) releases, remises, waives and discharges all such Purchaser Released Claims against the Seller Group. For purposes of this Section 12.16(b), “Seller Group” means (1) each Seller, (2) the lenders and agents under the Indebtedness of any Seller, (3) the Statutory Committee of Unsecured Creditors of the Sellers in their Bankruptcy Cases, and any members thereof at any time, in each case, solely in their capacity as such, and (4) with respect to those parties in the foregoing (1)–(3) of this sentence, any of their respective agents, attorneys, financial advisors, legal representatives, consultants, legal advisors, Affiliates, directors, managers, officers, control persons (as defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended)), shareholders, partners, estates, members, employees and successors and assigns, in each case, solely in their capacity as such, and “Prior Event” means any transaction, event, circumstances, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, including any approval or acceptance given or denied, whether known or unknown, which occurred, existed, was taken or begun prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, “Prior Event” shall include any transaction, event, circumstances, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type which occurred, existed, was taken or begun in accordance with, pursuant to or by virtue of: (A) any terms of this Agreement, (B) the transactions referred to herein, (C) the Bankruptcy Cases or the events leading to the commencement thereof, or (D) any oral or written agreement relating to the foregoing (A) to (C) of this sentence.

(c) Without limiting in any way the scope of the release contained in subparagraph (a) or (b) of this Section 12.16 and effective upon the Closing Date, Purchaser, to the fullest extent allowed under applicable Law, hereby waives and relinquishes all statutory and common law protections purporting to limit the scope or effect of a general release, whether due to lack of knowledge of any claim or otherwise, including, waiving and relinquishing the terms of any Law which provides that a release may not apply to material unknown claims. Purchaser hereby further affirms its intent to waive and relinquish such unknown claims and to waive and relinquish any statutory or common law protection available in any applicable jurisdiction with respect thereto including, without limitation, California Civil Code § 1542, which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

(d) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the releases set forth in this Section 12.16 do not extend to (i) any obligations that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the willful misconduct, actual and intentional fraud or gross negligence of such Person or (ii) any obligations of the parties under this Agreement.
