Section 2.08 Purchase Price Adjustment

. Following the Closing, the Purchase Price will be adjusted as set forth below:

(a)Closing Statement Preparation. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth a calculation of (i) the Accrued Leave Liability, (ii) the Transferred Cash, (iii) the Net Book Value of Designated Excluded Assets and (iv) the Closing Prorations, and (v) a recalculation of the Purchase Price, if any, based on each of the foregoing. The Closing Statement will be calculated (x) pursuant to the definitions within this Agreement, (y) in accordance with the Accounting Principles where applicable, and (z) without giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in promptly responding to Buyer’s reasonable requests while Buyer is preparing the Closing Statement.

(b)Examination and Review.

(i)Examination. After receipt of the Closing Statement, Seller shall have forty-five (45) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Statement. During the Review Period, Seller and its attorneys and accountants shall have access to the books and records of the Business, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer or Buyer’s Accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Closing Statement as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (as defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Business.

(ii)Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller may object to the Closing Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item, its amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement and the calculations contained therein shall be deemed to have been accepted by and to be final and binding on Seller and Buyer. If Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Closing Statement and the calculations contained therein, in each case with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, shall be final and binding on Seller and Buyer and shall not be subject to further review.

(iii)Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to any or all of the matters set forth in the Statement of

Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement

dated as of December 28, 2018 between

Municipality of Anchorage and Chugach Electric Association, Inc.

Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to an impartial regionally recognized financial consulting firm or a firm of independent certified public accountants other than Seller’s Accountants, the Business’s accountants or Buyer’s Accountants mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, and without considering extrinsic evidence, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only to the extent they relate to accounting matters and make any adjustments to the Closing Statement. The Independent Accountant shall be jointly instructed by the parties to make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after engagement of the Independent Accountant, and its resolution of the Disputed Amounts and, other than with respect to conclusions of Law and interpretation of this Agreement and consideration of extrinsic evidence, its adjustments to the Closing Statement shall be conclusive (other than with respect to conclusions of Law and interpretation of this Agreement and consideration of extrinsic evidence) absent manifest error. The Independent Accountant shall decide only the specific items under dispute by the parties and the Independent Accountant’s decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall initially be split 50/50 between Buyer and Seller, and after the final resolution of any dispute, shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party (and the appropriate party shall reimburse the other party accordingly). For example, if closing accounts receivable is the only disputed item, and Seller claims that closing accounts receivable is $1,000, and Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by Seller, and if the Independent Accountants ultimately resolve the dispute by awarding Seller $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of Independent Accountants will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to Seller. Any dispute that cannot be resolved by the Independent Accountant pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be resolved by courts of law set forth in Section 10.11.

(c)Adjustment Payments. The Closing Prorations and the Purchase Price shall be recalculated using such finally determined amounts in lieu of the estimates of such amounts used in the calculation of the Purchase Price payable at Closing.

(i)With respect to Accrued Leave Liability, Net Book Value of Designated Excluded Assets and Closing Prorations, the Purchase Price shall be increased (in the case of an aggregate positive amount) or decreased (in the case of an aggregate negative amount) on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the aggregate amount, if any, determined by (A) subtracting the Estimated Accrued Leave Liability from the Accrued Leave Liability, (B) subtracting the Estimated Net

Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement

dated as of December 28, 2018 between

Municipality of Anchorage and Chugach Electric Association, Inc.

Book Value of Designated Excluded Assets from the Net Book Value of Designated Excluded Assets and (C) adding the Closing Prorations if the aggregate amount of the prorations is for the benefit of Seller and subtracting the amount of Closing Prorations if the aggregate amount of the prorations is for the benefit of Buyer, and adding together the amounts calculated in each of the foregoing (A), (B) and (C) to reach a final net amount owing under this Section 2.08 (such net amount, the “Adjustment Amount”).

(ii)No later than within two (2) Business Days after the determination of the Adjustment Amount, (A) if the Adjustment Amount results in an increase to the Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Adjustment Amount (without interest) and (B) if the Adjustment Amount results in a decrease to the Purchase Price, Seller shall disburse to Buyer an amount equal to the Adjustment Amount (without interest). In addition, if Estimated Transferred Cash minus Transferred Cash is a negative number, Seller shall pay Buyer the difference on such date, and if a positive number, Buyer shall pay Seller such difference on such date.

Section 2.09 Treatment of Adjustment Payments

. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.08 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as is directed in writing by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, and shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.10 Allocation of Purchase Price

. Seller and Buyer agree to file their respective IRS Forms 8594 for the Purchase Price and all Tax Returns in accordance with allocation principles to be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer prior to the Closing. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to the extent necessary following the Closing to determine a final allocation using such agreed allocation principles and Seller and Buyer shall use such final allocation for Form 8594.

Section 2.11 Withholding Tax

. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that Buyer may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of Tax Law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Seller hereunder.

Section 2.12 Third Party Consents

. To the extent that Seller’s rights under any Contract or Permit constituting a Purchased Asset, or any other Purchased Asset, may not be assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and except as otherwise provided in Section 6.20 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller, at its expense, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller, to the maximum extent reasonably permitted by Law and the Purchased Asset, shall act after the Closing as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate reasonably, to the maximum extent reasonably permitted by Law and the Purchased Asset, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.12 to the contrary, Buyer shall

Losses. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.03(a) shall not exceed the Cap.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 8.04(a) and Section 8.04(b) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of (x) fraud, criminal activity, or willful misconduct of any party hereto or (y) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 4.01, Section 4.02, Section 4.08, Section 4.18, Section 4.19, Section 4.21, Section 4.24, Section 5.01, Section 5.02, or Section 5.04; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all Losses for which either party shall be liable based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties referenced in this clause (y), other than the representations and warranties in Section 4.18, and other than as set forth in clause (x) of this Section 8.04(c), shall not exceed the Upfront Payment; and provided, further, that the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of Section 4.18 shall not, other than as set forth in clause (x) of this Section 8.04(c), exceed the amount of $10,000,000.

Section 8.05 Indemnification Procedures

. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a)Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations except and only to the extent that such failure causes the Indemnifying Party to forfeit rights or defenses. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may not elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim

Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement

dated as of December 28, 2018 between

Municipality of Anchorage and Chugach Electric Association, Inc.

unless it agrees in writing that it will be liable for any Losses resulting from the Third Party Claim pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE VIII; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that such counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, and defend against such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from, or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b)Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in

Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement

dated as of December 28, 2018 between

Municipality of Anchorage and Chugach Electric Association, Inc.

such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a)), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c)Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations except and only to the extent that such failure causes the Indemnifying Party to forfeit rights or defenses. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access, upon reasonable advance notice and upon reasonable terms and conditions, to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.06 Limitation of Liability

. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT (INCLUDING INDIRECT DAMAGES IN THE NATURE OF LOST PROFITS OR BUSINESS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE, AND LOSS OF USE), SPECULATIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES FOR ANY REASON WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT, 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, HOWEVER, THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ON

(b)The representations and warranties of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was, or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be.

Subject to Section 10.13, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity, or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims, and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII.

(b)Set-off shall not be Buyer’s exclusive remedy with respect to any indemnification claim.
