(e) Buyer shall take the necessary action to cause Buyer’s defined contribution plan or plans to accept the rollovers of any “eligible rollover distributions” (as defined in the Code) of Transferred Employees from any qualified plans maintained by Seller or its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees are participating immediately prior to Closing.

(f) Buyer assumes no liability with respect to, and receives no right or interest in, any Benefit Plan of Seller. At the close of business on the Closing Date, all Employees shall cease participation in all Benefit Plans of Seller, except with respect to benefits accrued as of, or claims incurred on or prior to, the Closing Date, and except that each Employee who is on long-term disability leave immediately prior to the Closing shall continue to be covered by the long-term disability plan sponsored by Seller or Seller’s Affiliate as of the Closing Date for such covered disability.

(g) All Employees shall become vested in their benefits accrued in any Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of such Benefit Plan.

(i) Within a reasonable time prior to Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with such pertinent data or information as Buyer shall reasonably require to determine each Employee’s service, compensation or any other information related to benefits necessary to implement the requirements of this Section 6.5 on the Closing Date. To the extent the consent of an Employee is required in order for Seller to deliver any such pertinent data, records or information to Buyer, Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure such consent.

(j) Buyer shall have the right to use a third party vendor to hire Employees and to perform certain actions on behalf of Buyer under this Section 6.5, but no such use or designation shall release Buyer from its obligations hereunder.

Seller and Buyer shall timely file their own Transfer Tax returns as required by Law and shall notify the other Party when such filings have been made. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and consult with each other prior to filing such Transfer Tax returns to ensure that all such returns are filed in a consistent manner.

6.10 Books and Records. Seller shall deliver the books and records of each Project Company in Seller’s possession (including those set forth on Schedule 6.10) to Buyer as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date if such books and records are not present at such Project Company on the Closing Date (it being agreed that Seller may retain a copy thereof).

6.11 Tax Matters. Except as provided in Section 6.9 relating to Transfer Taxes:

(a) With respect to any Tax return covering a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Taxable Period”) that is required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to any Project Company, (i) Seller shall cause such Tax return to be prepared in a manner consistent with practices followed in prior taxable periods and in compliance with applicable Law except as required by change in Law or fact and shall deliver such Tax return as so prepared to Buyer not later than 30 days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such Tax return for Buyer’s review and comments, (ii) Seller shall cooperate and consult with Buyer to finalize such Tax return, and (iii) thereafter, subject to Seller’s payment to Buyer of such Tax in compliance with Section 6.11(b), Buyer shall cause such Tax return to be executed and duly and timely filed with the appropriate Taxing Authority and shall pay all Taxes shown as

due and payable on such Tax return.

For this purpose, any franchise Tax paid or payable with respect to a Project Company shall be allocated to the taxable period for which payment of the Tax provides the right to engage in business, regardless of the taxable period during which the income, operations, assets or capital comprising the base of such Tax is measured. In determining whether a Property Tax is attributable to a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or a Straddle Taxable Period, any Property Tax that is based on the assessed value of any assets, property or other rights as of any lien date or other specified valuation date shall be deemed a Property Tax attributable to the taxable period (whether a fiscal year or other tax year) specified on the relevant Property Tax xxxx that is issued with respect to that lien date or other valuation date.

(d) With respect to any Tax for which Seller is responsible, Seller shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to control (in the case of a Pre-Closing Taxable Period) or participate in (in the case of a Straddle Taxable Period) the prosecution, settlement or compromise of any proceeding involving such Tax, including the determination of the value of property for purposes of real and personal property ad valorem Taxes. Buyer shall (and shall cause the relevant Project Company to) take such action in connection with any such proceeding as Seller shall reasonably request from time to time to implement the preceding sentence, including the selection of counsel and experts and the execution of powers of attorney. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to participate in any proceeding involving a Pre-Closing Taxable Period, and Seller shall not settle any proceeding with respect to any issue that could materially and

adversely affect Buyer or the applicable Project Company in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date without Buyer’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Buyer shall (and shall cause the relevant Project Company to) give written notice to Seller of its receipt of any notice of any audit, examination, claim or assessment for any Tax for which Seller is responsible within 20 days after its receipt of such notice; failure to give any such written notice within such 20-day period shall limit Seller’s indemnification obligation pursuant to this Agreement to the extent Seller is actually prejudiced by such failure.

Buyer shall grant or cause the Project Companies to grant to Seller (or its designees) access at all reasonable times to all of the information, books and records relating to the Project Companies for Pre-Closing Taxable Periods or Straddle Taxable Periods within the possession of Buyer (including workpapers and correspondence with Taxing Authorities) and to the Employees, and shall afford Seller (or its designees) the right (at Seller’s expense) to take extracts therefrom and to make copies thereof, in each case to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Seller (or its designees) to prepare Tax returns, respond to Tax audits and investigations, prosecute Tax protests, appeals and refund claims and to conduct negotiations with Taxing Authorities. After the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer will preserve all information, records or documents in their respective possessions relating to liabilities for Taxes of the Project Companies for Pre-Closing Taxable Periods or Straddle Taxable Periods until the later of (i) seven years or (ii) six months after the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations (including extensions thereof) with respect to the assessment of such Taxes; provided, that neither Party shall dispose of any of the foregoing items without first offering such items to the other Party.

(f) If after the Closing Buyer or a Project Company receives a refund or utilizes a credit of any Tax of a Project Company attributable to a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or that portion of a Straddle Taxable Period ending on the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller within 10 Business Days after such receipt or utilization an amount equal to such refund received or credit utilized, together with any interest received or credited thereon net of any costs associated therewith. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Project Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a refund or credit of any Tax of the Project Company attributable to a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or that portion of a Straddle Taxable Period ending on the Closing Date or to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any such Tax that could be imposed for a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or that portion of a Straddle Taxable Period ending on the Closing Date (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

If Seller and its Affiliates do not receive the Required Equipment Approvals prior to Closing, then the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by $22 million.

6.27 Seller Creditworthiness. If Seller fails to maintain a Minimum Net Worth of at least $700 million at any time from the Closing until the five year anniversary of the Closing or at least $100 million thereafter, then Seller shall cause one of its Affiliates with a Minimum Net Worth of at least such amount during such relevant time period to guarantee to Buyer, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, the obligations of Seller under Section 10.1 of this Agreement (it being agreed that Seller may, from time to time, substitute a different Affiliate with such applicable Minimum Net Worth for the Affiliate then guaranteeing such obligations and Buyer shall promptly release such Affiliate then guaranteeing such obligations).

6.28 Bosque Conversion. With respect to the Permit set forth on Schedule 6.28 applicable to the construction of Phase III of the Bosque Project, Seller agrees that, if the Closing has not occurred on or before April 30, 2007, upon the posting of a letter of credit in an amount and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Seller to secure the indemnity obligations and other commitments below, Buyer may begin, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, construction relating to the conversion of the Bosque Project in connection with the construction of Phase III if Buyer reasonably believes such construction is required to maintain such Permit in full force and effect. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all Losses suffered by Seller and its Affiliates resulting or arising directly or indirectly from any actions or failure to act taken in performing such construction at the Bosque Project by Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or any agent or representative of Buyer or its Affiliates, including any contractor or subcontractor or other worker performing such services. If Buyer undertakes construction at the Bosque Project pursuant to this Section 6.28 and this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Buyer agrees that, if Seller shall elect in writing, Buyer, at its sole cost and expense shall remove any construction so performed and restore the portion of the Bosque Facility on which such construction was performed to substantially the same condition that existed immediately prior to the commencement of such construction.

6.29 Transition Services Arrangements.

(a) For a period of three months following the Closing Date, upon the request from time to time from Buyer, Seller shall provide or cause to be provided to the Project Companies or Buyer those services listed on Schedule 6.29(a) as are requested by Buyer (but Seller shall have no obligation to provide any such services that were provided by any Employee on or after the Closing or any third party vendor used by Buyer) (the services listed thereon, collectively, the “Transition Services”). Seller shall or shall cause its Affiliates to perform any Transition Services provided hereunder in good faith, on a commercially reasonable basis, (i) in all material respects in compliance with all Laws and (ii) to the extent not inconsistent therewith, in a similar manner as the same or comparable services were provided by Seller or its Affiliates to the Project Companies as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (x) Seller shall have no liability to Buyer or its Affiliates for any acts or omissions of it or of any Non-Company Affiliate in connection with this Section 6.29 and the Transition Services (and Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the Non-Company Affiliates from and against any and all losses, liabilities and expenses relating to the Transition Services) except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or such Non-Company Affiliate and (y) the exclusive remedies of Buyer and its Affiliates against Seller and the Non-Company Affiliates for any breach of this Section 6.29 shall be limited to termination (effective upon notice) of the affected Transition Service and monetary damages, which in no event shall exceed the amount paid to Seller and the Non-Company Affiliates for the affected Transition Services pursuant to Section 6.29(b). Buyer also acknowledges and agrees that if certain personnel of Seller and/or the Non-Company Affiliates may leave the employment of such Persons or terminate their employment or contract with such Persons during the period during which Seller shall provide Transition Services hereunder, and that the loss of such personnel materially impedes Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or provide the requested Transition Services, Seller shall provide notice to Buyer and shall have no obligation to provide the requested Transition Services. Seller makes no representation or warranty regarding the ability of Seller and/or the Non-Company Affiliates to retain any such employees or subcontractors and neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability as to the result of the loss of any such employees.

(b) Buyer, upon not less than 30 days’ written notice, at any time and from time to time may, as of the date set forth in such notice (which may not precede the end of such 30-day period without Seller’s approval), reduce or terminate its right to receive (and Seller’s associated obligations to provide or cause the provision of) any or all of the applicable Transition Services. Buyer shall pay Seller for the Transition Services fees in accordance with Schedule 6.29(b). No later than the 15th Business Day after each calendar month during which Seller or its Affiliates provided Transition Services, beginning with the calendar month immediately following the Closing, Seller shall submit an invoice to the Buyer for such fees incurred during such calendar month. If the Closing occurs on a day other than the last day of a month, the first invoice shall be only for those Transition Services provided from such date until the end of the month in which the Closing took place. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid each such invoice it receives within 15 days after its receipt.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION

9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, at any time before the Closing as follows:

(a) by Seller or Buyer, by written notice to the other, if any Law or final order restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits or makes illegal the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) by Seller, by written notice to Buyer, if Buyer has (i) breached its obligation to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.5, or (ii) breached in any material respect any other representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation in this Agreement and such breach, in the case of this clause (ii), has not been cured within 20 days following written notification thereof;

(c) by Buyer, by written notice to Seller, if Seller has breached any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation in this Agreement and (i) such breach has not been cured within 20 days following written notification thereof; provided, however, that if, at the end of such 20 day period, Seller is endeavoring in good faith, and proceeding diligently, to cure such breach, Seller shall have an additional 20 days in which to effect such cure and (ii) such breach (to the extent not cured) would result in a Material Adverse Effect or have a material adverse effect on Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder;

(d) by Buyer or Seller, by notice to the other, on or after June 30, 2007(or August 14, 2007 if Buyer is required to dispose of or hold separate any assets or businesses by a Governmental Authority and is using its good faith efforts to do so) or such later date as the Buyer and Seller may agree in writing; provided, that Buyer cannot terminate under this provision if the failure of the Closing to occur is the result of the failure on the part of Buyer to perform any of its obligations hereunder and Seller cannot terminate this Agreement under this provision if the failure of the Closing to occur is the result of the failure on the part of Seller to perform any of its obligations hereunder;

(e) by Buyer or Seller, in accordance with Section 6.13 or Section 6.14;

(f) by Seller, by written notice to Buyer, if Buyer has breached its obligation under Section 6.20 and such breach has not been cured within one Business Day; and

(g) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller.

9.2 Effect of Termination; Break Up Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, there will be no liability or obligation on the part of Seller or Buyer (or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates), except as provided in this Section 9.2 and Section 9.3.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(b), Section 9.1(d) (in the case of Section 9.1(d), if the right to terminate applies due to a failure by Buyer to comply with Section 2.2, 2.5 or 6.1(c)(ii) or 6.1(c)(iii)) or Section 9.1(f), then, in lieu of all other Claims and remedies that might otherwise be available with respect thereto, including elsewhere hereunder and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) Buyer hereby agrees to pay immediately to Seller, as liquidated damages in connection with such termination, an amount in immediately available funds equal to 10% of the Base Purchase Price, and (ii) Seller shall have the right immediately to draw on the Fund Guaranty or the Letter of Credit to satisfy such payment obligation of Buyer. The provision for payment of liquidated damages in this Section 9.2(b) has been included because, in the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b), Section 9.1(d) or Section 9.1(f), the actual damages to be incurred by Seller are reasonably expected to approximate the amount of liquidated damages set forth in this Section 9.2(b) and because the actual amount of such damages would be difficult if not impossible to measure precisely.

(c) Regardless of the reason for termination, Sections 6.2(b), 6.15, 6.16, 9.2, 9.3, 10.5(a), and 10.5(b) and Article XI will survive any termination of this Agreement, and each Party shall continue to be liable for any willful breach of this Agreement by it occurring prior to such termination.

(d) Upon termination of this Agreement by either Party for any reason, each Party shall return or destroy, in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, all documents and other materials of any other Party relating to the Project Companies, the Assets of the Project Companies, or this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any information relating to the Parties to this Agreement, whether obtained before or after the execution of this Agreement and all information received by Buyer with respect to the Project Companies, the Assets of the Project Companies or Seller shall remain subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

9.3 Specific Performance and Other Remedies. Each Party hereby acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that, if any Party violates or fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by it herein, the non-breaching Party may be without an adequate remedy at law. If any Party violates or fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by such Party herein, the non-breaching Party or Parties may, subject to the terms hereof and in addition to any remedy at law for damages or other relief, institute and

prosecute an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce specific performance of such covenant or agreement or seek any other equitable relief.

(d) in no event shall Seller’s aggregate liability, other than with respect to the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10.1(a)(iii), (i) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether relating to breach of representation and warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation in this Agreement and whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Laws or otherwise, exceed 10% of the Base Purchase Price, except as set forth in clause (ii) below; and (ii) arising out of or relating to any breach of a Title and Authority Representation, a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 4.11 (Taxes) or a matter covered by Section 6.11 (Tax Matters) (together with the aggregate liability pursuant to clause (i) above) exceed 100% of the Base Purchase Price;

(e) Seller shall have no liability for any breach of this Agreement or any certificate relating hereto by Seller if Buyer had knowledge of such breach or inaccuracy as of the date hereof (and for purposes of this Section 10.2(e), the documents and materials disclosed to Buyer or its Representatives in the course of its due diligence, and their contents, are deemed to be known to Buyer);

(f) other than with respect to the Southern Company and Other Claims, Seller shall have no liability under this Article X to indemnify any Indemnified Party with respect to a Loss to the extent that such Loss arose from or was related to any liability of Seller, any Project Company or any Non-Company Affiliate prior to the “effective date” of the chapter 11 plan confirmed by the Bankruptcy Order, other than Losses directly arising as a result of the failure of Mirant Corporation and/or its Affiliates to provide the treatment afforded to such pre-effective date liabilities in the manner set forth in such chapter 11 plan;

(h) any Indemnified Party that becomes aware of a Loss for which it seeks indemnification under this Article X shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Loss including taking any actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Loss to the extent that it is attributable to the Indemnified Party’s failure to mitigate;

(i) no Party shall have any liability for any Loss which would not have arisen but for any alteration or repeal or enactment of any Law after the Closing Date;

(j) Seller shall have no liability for any Losses that represent the cost of repairs, replacements or improvements which enhance the value of the repaired, replaced or improved asset above its value on the Closing Date or which represent the cost of repair or replacement exceeding the lowest reasonable cost of repair or replacement;

(k) the Losses suffered by any Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to any amounts covered by third parties, including insurance proceeds, in each case net of the reasonable third party out of pocket costs and expenses associated with such recoveries, and net of any associated tax benefits to Buyer or any Project Company (it being understood and agreed that the Indemnified Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to seek insurance recoveries in respect of Losses to be indemnified hereunder). If any insurance proceeds or other recoveries from third parties are actually realized (in each case calculated net of the reasonable third party out of pocket costs and expenses associated with such recoveries) by an Indemnified Party subsequent to the receipt by such Indemnified Party of an indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceedings or third party recoveries relate, appropriate refunds shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party regarding the amount of such indemnification payment; and

(l) upon and after the Closing, none of the Project Companies shall have any liability or obligation to indemnify, save or hold harmless or otherwise pay, reimburse or make any Seller Indemnified Party whole for or on account of any indemnification claim made by the Seller or any of its Affiliates of Representatives for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller, and Seller shall have no right of contribution against any Project Company with respect to such matters.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN OR IN ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED HEREUNDER, SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND REGARDING THE CONDITION OF THE ASSETS OF THE PROJECT COMPANIES OR THE ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT OR THE SUITABILITY OF THE PROJECTS FOR OPERATION AS POWER PLANTS OR AS SITES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADDITIONAL OR REPLACEMENT GENERATION CAPACITY AND NO MATERIAL OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR COMMUNICATIONS MADE BY SELLER, OR BY ANY BROKER OR INVESTMENT BANKER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTIVE MEMORANDUM RECEIVED BY BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING ANY SUPPLEMENTS), INFORMATION PROVIDED DURING DUE DILIGENCE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INFORMATION IN THE DATA ROOM, AND ANY ORAL, WRITTEN OR

10.5 Waiver of Remedies.

(a) The Parties hereby agree that, except with respect to Claims for fraud (but not constructive fraud), neither Party shall have any liability, and neither Party shall make any Claim, for any Loss or other matter, under, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Company Assignment Agreements or the Closing Certificates, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Laws or otherwise, except as provided in Articles IX and X.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.13 AND SECTION 6.14, NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER LAW OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE OTHER PARTY’S SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT (“NON-REIMBURSABLE DAMAGES”), PROVIDED THAT ANY AMOUNTS PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES PURSUANT A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM (OTHER THAN A CLAIM FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING UNDER A CONTRACT PROVISION AGREED TO BY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY THAT DOES NOT NEGATE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES) SHALL NOT BE DEEMED NON-REIMBURSABLE DAMAGES.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Representative or Affiliate of a Party shall have any personal liability to the other Party or any other Person as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of such Party in this Agreement.

10.6 Procedure with Respect to Third-Party Claims.

(a) If any Party (or as to Buyer after Closing, any Project Company) becomes subject to a pending or threatened Claim of a third party and such Party (the “Claiming Party”) believes it has a claim against the other Party (the “Responding Party”) as a result, then the Claiming Party shall promptly notify the Responding Party in writing of the basis for such Claim setting forth the nature of the Claim in reasonable detail. The failure of the Claiming Party to so notify the Responding Party shall not relieve the Responding Party of liability hereunder except to the extent that the defense of such Claim is materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice.

(b) If any proceeding is brought by a third party against a Claiming Party and the Claiming Party gives notice to the Responding Party pursuant to this Section 10.6, the Responding Party shall be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense of such proceeding, if (i) the Responding Party provides written notice to the Claiming Party that the Responding Party intends to undertake such defense, (ii) the

Responding Party conducts the defense of the third-party Claim actively and diligently with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party and (iii) if the Responding Party is a party to the proceeding, the Responding Party or the Claiming Party has not determined in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate because of a conflict in interest. The Claiming Party, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to employ separate counsel (who may be selected by the Claiming Party in its sole discretion) in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by such Claiming Party. The Claiming Party and the Responding Party shall fully cooperate with each other and its counsel in the defense or compromise of such Claim. If the Responding Party assumes the defense of a proceeding, no compromise or settlement of such Claims may be effected by the Responding Party without the Claiming Party’s consent unless (x) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no adverse effect on any other Claims that may be made against the Claiming Party and (y) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Responding Party.

(c) If (i) notice is given to the Responding Party of the commencement of any third-party legal proceeding and the Responding Party does not, within 30 days after the Claiming Party’s notice is given, give notice to the Claiming Party of its election to assume the defense of such legal proceeding, (ii) any of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 10.6(b) above become unsatisfied or (iii) a Claiming Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a legal proceeding may adversely affect it other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification from the Responding Party under this Agreement, then the Claiming Party shall (upon notice to the Responding Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim; provided, however, that the Responding Party shall reimburse the Claiming Party for the costs of defending against such third-party claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and shall remain otherwise responsible for any liability with respect to amounts arising from or related to such third-party claim, to the extent it is ultimately determined that such Responding Party is liable with respect to such third-party claim for a breach under this Agreement. The Responding Party may elect to participate in such legal proceedings, negotiations or defense at any time at its own expense.
