(d) Seller expressly consents that the release in this Section 6.6 shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to existing or future unknown and unsuspected Claims, notwithstanding any Law that expressly limits the effectiveness of a release of future, unknown, unsuspected or unanticipated claims, the benefit of any such Law being hereby expressly waived by the undersigned. Seller acknowledges that the inclusion of such unknown Claims in the release in this Section 6.6 was separately bargained for and was a key element of this Agreement. Seller acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true, and Seller expressly agrees to assume the risk of the possible discovery of additional or different facts. Seller also agrees that the release in this Section 6.6 shall be and remain effective in all respects regardless of such additional or different facts or the discovery thereof.

Section 6.7. Post-Closing Obligations; Dissolution.

(a) From and after the Closing, no party hereto shall, and each shall cause its respective subsidiaries and Affiliates to not, (i) take any action to amend or change the Organizational Documents of Seller except for the filing of the Certificate of Cancelation of a Limited Liability Company with respect to Seller or (ii) cause Seller to incur any new liability or obligation, other than liabilities or obligations incurred in connection with the dissolution of Seller in accordance with Section 6.7(c), and liabilities or obligations that may arise or be claimed by any third person who is not an Affiliate of any party hereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after the Closing, in no event will Seller knowingly incur any claim, liability or obligation in favor of Oncor or the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates.

(b) Oncor, in its capacity as the Managing Member of Seller, has irrevocably elected to dissolve Seller following the Closing pursuant to the OMI LLC Agreement and will in accordance with Section 10.3 of the OMI LLC Agreement, (i)(A) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 90 days of the Closing Date) dissolve and liquidate Seller by applying Seller’s assets to satisfy all liabilities, claims and obligations of Seller by payment or other discharge thereof or to make reasonable provision for the payment thereof, and (B) distribute the remaining available assets of Seller to the Seller Class B Members and (ii) take any such other action as may be required to cause the dissolution of Seller, including the filing of a Certificate of Cancelation of a Limited Liability Company with respect to Seller in accordance with the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware and pay any fees required to be paid in connection with such filing.
