From and after the Purchase Date for an Accepted Project, all risk of loss or damage to such Project shall be borne by Purchaser; provided, that the passing of the risk of loss shall not, in any respect, excuse a Seller from completing installation of any Project or performing any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which such Seller is a party or relieve such Seller of its obligations to reimburse Purchaser for losses resulting from the actions of such Seller, its Affiliates or its subcontractors. If any Accepted Project becomes a Deficient Project or Cancelled Project, all risk of loss or damage to such Project shall pass back to such Seller and, if the Customer Agreements related thereto have not been terminated, such Customer Agreements shall be reassigned to such Seller by Purchaser.

(j) Sales. Provided that Purchaser is not in default under any Transaction Document, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Sellers shall sell Projects that meet the criteria in Section 2.3 to Purchaser under this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall in no way obligate the Sellers to sell to Purchaser, or otherwise restrict the Sellers from pursuing alternative transactions in respect of, any specific solar energy generation system, including any PV Systems that do not meet the criteria in Section 2.3 or as to which the conditions in Section 2.4 have not been satisfied.

(k) Information to Purchaser. After the Purchase of a Project (including without limitation any Project purchased from VSI), VSD hereby agrees, at no cost to Purchaser, to:

(1) provide Purchaser with access via VSD’s web portal to the information regarding such Project in the possession of VSD or any VSH Entity, which will

Development, EPC and Purchase Agreement

include, as such information becomes available, among other things, descriptions of installation services performed by VSD or any VSH Entity, follow-up activities, if any, materials, serial numbers and other information relevant to Provider’s maintenance activities; and

(2) provide such information regarding such Project as is reasonably requested by Purchaser and available to VSD or the VSH Entities or that VSD or the VSH Entities are able to obtain through the use of commercially reasonable efforts (it being understood that such information will not include information regarding the maintenance or operation of Projects after their applicable In-Service Dates, to which VSD shall provide access pursuant to clause (k)(1)).

(l) Transfer of RECs and Government Incentives. Commencing on each Purchase Date, all RECs and Government Incentives associated with the installation, ownership, use or operation of each PV System being purchased by Purchaser on such Purchase Date shall be, as between the applicable Seller and Purchaser and to the extent transferable pursuant to Applicable Laws, part of such Seller’s rights related to the Project that are transferred to Purchaser.

2.2 Completion of Purchased Systems.

A Seller shall complete the installation of each applicable Purchased System that was purchased by Purchaser from such Seller as follows:

(a) PV System Installation. Such Seller shall procure the materials and take such other steps as are required to install, test and complete such PV System and shall cause such PV System to be Placed in Service (the foregoing steps collectively being referred to herein as “Installation”) without further compensation or reimbursement from Purchaser. Installation of each PV System by such Seller shall be consistent with the applicable Customer Agreement, all manufacturer and design specifications and warranties relating to the relevant PV System, Prudent Industry Standards and all Applicable Laws and material Permits. Such Seller shall be authorized to enter into subcontracts for the performance of its obligations herein, provided that any such subcontract shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall expressly provide for (i) the assignment of the warranty rights thereunder to Purchaser and (ii) the assignment of the entire contract to Purchaser upon a default of such Seller hereunder or thereunder. Such Seller shall remain liable for the compliance in full of its obligations hereunder regardless of whether they may have been subcontracted or not. Such Seller shall pay all amounts owed to its subcontractors and vendors in connection with the Installation of each PV System on a timely basis and shall hold Purchaser harmless against any claims asserted by such parties whether before or after the transfer of title to the Purchaser. Within five (5) Business Days after a breach or default by a Seller or any of its Affiliates, or after acquiring Knowledge of such Seller of a breach or default of any other Person, under any subcontract relating to one or more Purchased Systems, such Seller shall provide Purchaser written notice of such breach or default.

(b) Completion Certificate. On or before the tenth Business Day of each calendar month, the Sellers, as applicable, shall deliver to Purchaser a Completion Certificate listing all such PV Systems that were Placed in Service in the prior month. If a

Development, EPC and Purchase Agreement

Purchased System is not Placed in Service by the Completion Deadline, then such PV System shall become a Deficient Project subject to Section 2.2(d). Concurrently with the delivery of the Completion Certificate, the Sellers, as applicable, shall also deliver to Purchaser a copy of the form of warranty issued by each manufacturer or supplier of panels, inverters or racking (to the extent not previously provided to Purchaser) that satisfies the requirements of Section 3.4.

(c) Performance Tests. Each Seller shall perform the Performance Tests for each Purchased System that was purchased by Purchaser from such Seller under this Agreement. Such Seller’s technical personnel (or, when applicable, the installer or manufacturer’s personnel, with such Seller’s supervision) shall operate the PV Systems during the Performance Tests. If a PV System fails to pass the Performance Tests, then such Seller shall take corrective actions and repeat the Performance Tests until such PV System successfully completes the Performance Tests or the Completion Deadline, whichever occurs first.

(d) Deficient Projects and Cancelled Projects. A Seller shall remove any Accepted Projects Purchased by Purchaser from it and included in a Tranche that are Deficient Projects or Cancelled Projects. A Seller shall revise and update the applicable portion of Schedule 1 to remove such Deficient Projects and Cancelled Projects. A Seller shall either (i) provide a credit to Purchaser toward the purchase of additional PV Systems in a subsequent Tranche in the amount of the aggregate of the System Purchase Prices for such Deficient Projects and Cancelled Projects (the “Removed Project Credit”) to be applied in connection with payment of the aggregate of the System Purchase Prices of a Tranche in the Closing Request for that Tranche, which Removed Project Credit shall be calculated in a report, substantially in the form of Schedule 7, describing the Deficient Projects and Cancelled Projects not previously reported (the “Deficient Project and Cancelled Project Report”) or (ii) substitute another PV System that meets all of the conditions in Section 2.3 (a “Substituted Project”) for any Deficient Project or Cancelled Project that was previously Purchased by Purchaser (and not otherwise previously reported in a prior Substitution Report or a Deficient Project and Cancelled Project Report) by delivering a Substitution Report in accordance with Section 2.2(f); provided that any such substitution shall occur no later than the Completion Deadline. For the avoidance of doubt, all right, title and interest in and to any Cancelled Project or Deficient Project removed from the Tranche shall pass back to such Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with any substitution of any Substituted Project for any Cancelled Project or Deficient Project, the applicable Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to execute any documents and to take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable to carry out the intent of this Section 2.2.

(e) Change Orders Under Customer Agreements. Following the relevant Purchase Date and prior to the Placed in Service Date of any PV System, a Seller may agree to change orders under or amendments to the Customer Agreement relating to the size, layout or design of such PV System (a “Change Order”). A Seller may agree to Change Orders in its sole discretion. A Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a report, substantially in the form of Schedule 8 (a “Change Order Report”), describing the economic impact of all Change Orders through the date of such Change Order Report and previously not reported in a Closing Request. The Change Order Report will (A) identify all Change Orders agreed to through the date of the Change Order Report and not previously reported in a Closing Request, (B) describe any increase or decrease in system size pursuant to each such Change Order, and (C) describe any

Development, EPC and Purchase Agreement

increase or decrease in System Purchase Price as a consequence of each such Change Order. If the Change Order Report indicates that the aggregate System Purchase Prices for all Projects that were subject to Change Orders have resulted in a net credit balance (the “Change Order Credit”) or debit balance to Purchaser (the “Change Order Debit”), such Seller may (i) pay such credit or debit by including the Change Order Credit or the Change Order Debit in the subsequent Closing Request or (ii) in the case of a Change Order Credit, substitute one or more Substituted Projects in accordance with Section 2.2(f) (each of which Substituted Projects shall meet the conditions for PV Systems under Section 2.3); provided that any such substitution shall occur no later than the Completion Deadline. Such Seller shall revise Schedule 1 to reflect the information relating to the Change Order; provided further, that in no event will Purchaser be obligated to make a payment hereunder that causes the total Capital Contributions of the Investor in connection with Purchased Systems to exceed the Investor Contribution Cap.

(f) Substitution Report. A Seller shall provide written notice of any proposed Substituted Project to Purchaser in the Substitution Report, and Purchaser shall have a period of ten (10) days (the “Substituted Project Review Period”) from receipt of the Substitution Report to confirm that the conditions in Section 2.3 have been met with respect to each such proposed Substituted Project. Each such proposed Substituted Project shall be deemed accepted unless Purchaser informs such Seller in writing within the applicable Substituted Project Review Period that any such proposed Substituted Project is rejected; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no discretion to reject any Project that satisfies all of the conditions in Section 2.3. The Purchase Date for the Substituted Projects purchased under this Section 2.2(f) shall be the expiration of the applicable Substituted Project Review Period or, if such date is not a Business Day, then the first Business Day following the expiration of the applicable Substituted Project Review Period. On the Purchase Date for the Substituted Projects, all right, title and interest in and to any Substituted Project shall pass to Purchaser and such Seller shall revise and update Schedule 1 to reflect the relevant Substituted Project information (as shown in the Substitution Report).

(g) [Reserved]

(h) True-Up Report. No later than twenty (20) Business Days following the Completion Deadline, VSD shall deliver to Purchaser a true-up report that contains the information specified in Schedule 10 (the “True-Up Report”) and a revised Base Case Model that reflects the information in the True-Up Report (the “True-Up Base Case Model”). If the True-Up Report indicates that the aggregate of the System Purchase Prices for all Purchased Systems has left a net credit balance or debit balance, such balance, plus 5% interest thereon accruing from the date the Party owed the credit effectively advanced the amounts now being credited, shall be paid in cash to the applicable Sellers by Purchaser or to Purchaser by VSD (on behalf of both Sellers), whichever is appropriate, within ten (10) calendar days after issuance of the True-Up Report; provided, however, that (i) no True-Up Report will include information on, or require a payment in connection with, any Deficient Projects, Cancelled Projects or Change Orders to the extent a Refund Credit has already been utilized or a Substituted Project has been substituted therefor, and (ii) in no event will Purchaser be obligated to make a payment hereunder that causes the total Capital Contributions of the Investor in connection with Purchased Systems to exceed the Investor Contribution Cap.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser.

Purchaser represents and warrants, with respect to itself, to each Seller as follows as of the Effective Date:

(a) Organization, Good Standing, Etc. Purchaser is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as being conducted on the date hereof.

(b) Authority. Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. This Agreement (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Sellers) constitutes, and upon execution and delivery by Purchaser of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party the Transaction Documents shall constitute, the valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity.

(c) No Violation. The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Purchaser is a party do not, and the performance by Purchaser of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder and thereunder shall not, (i) violate any laws, statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, judgments, settlements, orders, decrees, injunctions and writs of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Purchaser, (ii) conflict with or cause a breach of any provision in the charter, bylaws or other organizational document of Purchaser, or (iii) cause a breach of, constitute a default under, cause the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, or require any authorization, consent, waiver or approval under any contract, license, instrument, decree, judgment or other arrangement to which Purchaser is a party or under which it is bound or to which any of its Assets are subject (or result in the imposition of a Lien upon any such Assets) except (in the case of this clause (iii)) for any that would not materially impair or be reasonably expected to materially impair the ability of Purchaser to meet or perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(d) Legal Proceedings. There is no pending or, to Knowledge of Investor, threatened litigation, claim, action, suit, proceeding or governmental investigation against Purchaser or which seeks the issuance of an order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than any such instance that would not materially impair or be reasonably expected to materially impair the ability of Purchaser to meet or perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

3.3 No Other Seller Representations.

Without limiting the foregoing, except with respect to the representations and warranties of each Seller set forth in ARTICLE 3 or expressly set forth as representations and warranties in the other Transaction Documents, no Seller makes any representation or warranty in this Agreement with respect to Purchaser’s eligibility to claim Tax Credits. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that no representation or warranty has been made by any Seller about the accuracy of any projections, estimates or budgets, future revenues, future results from operations, future cash flows, the future condition of the Projects or any assets of such Seller or Purchaser, or the future financial condition of such Seller or Purchaser.

3.4 Defects Warranty.

Each Seller warrants, with respect to each Project purchased by Purchaser under this Agreement from such Seller, that such Seller’s installation of the PV System for such Project shall be free from material defects in design of workmanship as of the date of installation for a period of *** from the date of installation (the “Warranty”); provided, however, that this Warranty shall not include any warranty statements beyond the scope of this Warranty. Upon a breach of the Warranty, the applicable Seller will, upon notice from Purchaser or Host Customer of a valid Warranty claim, at such Seller’s sole option, either repair or replace any defective parts or construction. Such Seller shall have reasonable access to the applicable Project site to the extent permitted by the Customer Agreements, as necessary to perform its Warranty obligations under this Agreement. All costs for the removal, replacement and reinstallation of all equipment and materials necessary to gain access to defective PV Systems and any other costs relating to corrective or remedial action shall be borne by the applicable Seller. This Warranty applies solely to the PV Systems and does not include (x) roof repair or maintenance or (y) site work, including but not limited to, grading and landscape maintenance, if applicable; provided, however, the applicable Seller shall, at its expense, repair any damage to the roof or Project site caused by such Seller, its Affiliates or its subcontractors. Panels, inverters and racking for each Project shall be procured from the approved vendors listed on Schedule 13 unless otherwise reasonably consented in writing by Investor (provided that no such approval or consent of Investor shall be required with respect to vendors from whom any equipment other than panels, inverters and racking is procured). Either (a) the warranties for panels, inverters and racking shall by their terms run to the benefit of the Person that owns such equipment or the solar system into which such equipment is incorporated or (b) VSD or VSI, as applicable, shall transfer or cause to be transferred the warranties for panels, inverters and racking by such manufacturers to Purchaser (which for panels shall be at least twenty (20) years from the date of installation and for inverters and racking shall be at least ten (10) years from the date of installation). Except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.4, neither Seller is providing any warranty with respect to any panels, inverters, racking or any other component of any Project.

3.5 Insurance. Each Seller will procure and maintain or cause to be procured and maintained, at its sole cost and expense, insurance substantially in the types and amounts listed in Schedule 14 attached hereto covering the activities of its employees and representatives in connection with this Agreement.

TERMINATION

4.1 Termination.

(a) The obligations to purchase and sell PV Systems under this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (i) the Completion Deadline and (ii) the date on which any change in Applicable Laws takes effect that amends the Code so as to eliminate or reduce the value of the Tax Credit, but only to the extent such change in Applicable Laws would affect Projects to be sold pursuant to this Agreement after such date. For the avoidance of doubt, no such termination shall diminish, terminate or suspend the Parties’ other rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting a Seller’s or Purchaser’s ability to exercise any right or remedy to which it is entitled hereunder or under any of the Transaction Documents, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the first Purchase Date:

(1) if a Seller or Purchaser voluntarily commences bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, stay, moratorium or similar debtor-relief proceedings, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by Purchaser or a Seller, as applicable;

(2) if insolvency, receivership, reorganization, bankruptcy, or similar proceedings shall have been commenced against a Seller or Purchaser and such proceedings remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) calendar days, by Purchaser or a Seller, as applicable;

(3) by a Seller or Purchaser, upon twenty (20) Business Days’ prior written notice to Purchaser or a Seller or the Sellers, as applicable, in the event a Seller or the Sellers, as applicable (with respect to a termination by Purchaser) or Purchaser (with respect to a termination by the Sellers) is in material breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and such breach has not been cured during such twenty (20) Business Day period and such breach would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change on the non-defaulting Party; provided, however, that the Party (or the Parties, as applicable) seeking termination pursuant to this subsection (b)(3) is (or are, as applicable) not in breach in any material respects of its (or their, as applicable) representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(4) automatically and without further action by any Party on the date on which the LLC Agreement is terminated; and

(5) by the mutual written consent of the Sellers and Purchaser.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.1(b) by a Seller, Purchaser, or all Parties then this Agreement shall be terminated in its entirety as of the date of such termination with no liability on the part of any Party hereto; provided, however, that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 4.2, ARTICLE 5 and ARTICLE 6 shall survive the termination and (ii) no such termination shall relieve any Party of any liability or damages resulting from any breach by that Party of this Agreement or affect the rights of the other Parties to indemnification for such breach nor shall any such termination relieve any Party of any obligations that arose pursuant to this Agreement prior to such termination.

Development, EPC and Purchase Agreement

4.3 Indemnification by Seller.

(a) VSD shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its respective members, the Affiliates of each, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (“Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against (i) any Losses (other than Tax Losses), to the extent arising out of or in connection with (A) the negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Sellers, their Affiliates or their subcontractors or (B) any breach by Sellers of any of their representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and (ii) any Losses (other than Tax Losses) from third party claims or demands arising under or relating to any Seller’s performance or nonperformance under this Agreement; provided, however, in no event will any Seller be responsible for any such Losses to the extent caused by Purchaser’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) From and after the applicable Purchase Date, VSD will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser Indemnified Parties from any claims or liens (other than Permitted Liens) brought or filed in connection with the Projects that were purchased from the Sellers. VSD will discharge any such claim or lien within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of such claim or lien. Failure to so discharge shall entitle the Purchaser to pay such claim or lien and seek reimbursement from VSD for such discharged claim or lien, or to set off the amounts owed to VSD hereunder or ***.

(c) If as a result of the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty set forth herein or the breach of any covenant herein any Purchaser Indemnified Party for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall lose the benefit of, shall not have the right to claim, shall suffer a disallowance or deferral of, shall suffer a delay in claiming, shall be required to recapture or shall not claim (as the result of a Final Determination or a written opinion of independent counsel selected by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to a Seller that there is not at least a “more likely than not” position for such claim) all or any portion of the Tax Credits (a “Tax Credit Loss”) or cost recovery (depreciation) deductions (a “Deduction Loss” and, together with a Tax Credit Loss, a “Tax Loss”) assumed in the Base Case Model, then VSD shall pay to Purchaser the amount determined pursuant to Section 4.3(d) hereof.

(d) (1) If a Tax Loss as defined in Section 4.3(c) hereof shall occur, then VSD shall pay to Purchaser (i) in the case of a Tax Credit Loss, the amount, if any, of the Tax Credit lost, disallowed or recaptured reduced by any Tax Savings arising as a result of the Tax Credit Loss, (ii) in the case of a Deduction Loss, the amount, if any, by which the sum of the present values as of the date of the indemnity payment of the additional U.S. federal income taxes payable by each Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of such Deduction Loss (computed using a discount rate of 15%) exceeds any Tax Savings arising as a result of the Deduction Loss, (iii) the amount of any U.S. federal interest, penalties, fines or additions to tax payable by each Purchaser Indemnified Party, and (iv) the net amount of any additional U.S. federal income Taxes payable by each Purchaser Indemnified Party, if any, as the result of (A) the inclusion of any payment made pursuant to this Section 4.3(d) in taxable income or (B) the increase in any Tax Loss as a result of any payment made pursuant to this Section 4.3. As used herein, “Tax Savings” shall mean the sum of the present values as of the date of the indemnity payment of the reductions in the U.S. federal income taxes payable by each Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of the Tax Credit Loss or Deduction Loss, as the case may be (computed using a discount rate of 15%).

Development, EPC and Purchase Agreement

(2) For Tax reporting purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by the Code, each Party will agree to treat all amounts paid pursuant to this Section 4.3 as a non-taxable reimbursement of System Purchase Price. To the extent any such payment is includable as income of a Purchaser Indemnified Party as determined as a result of a Final Determination, by agreement of the Parties or, if there is no Final Determination or agreement, by an opinion of a nationally-recognized Tax counsel selected by the Purchaser Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to VSD that such amount is *** includable as income of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, the amount of the payment shall be increased by the amount of any U.S. federal income tax required to be paid by the Purchaser Indemnified Party upon the receipt or accrual of the payment. For purposes of calculating the amount of the U.S. federal income taxes required to be paid by each Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of an amount paid pursuant to this Section 4.3, including for purposes of determining the U.S. federal income tax required to be paid if a payment pursuant to this Section 4.3 is includable as income of a Purchaser Indemnified Party (and, in each case, any resulting Tax Savings), (A) each Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have paid or to be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes for the relevant periods at the maximum marginal rates generally applicable to corporations in the taxable years in question and (B) it will be assumed that each Purchaser Indemnified Party will have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize on a current basis any tax benefits resulting from a Tax Loss or the events giving rise thereto.

(3) Any payment due to Purchaser from VSD pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be paid within twenty (20) days after receipt by a Seller of a written demand therefor accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail such Tax Loss and the computation of the amount so payable.

4.4 Indemnification by Purchaser.

Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, its Affiliates and its and their respective members, officers, directors, employees and agents (“Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against (i) any Losses to the extent arising out of or in connection with (A) the negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Purchaser or (B) any breach by Purchaser of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and (ii) any Losses from third-party claims or demands arising under or relating to Purchaser’s performance or nonperformance of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, in no event will Purchaser be responsible for any such Losses of a Seller to the extent caused by such Seller’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4.5 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN AND EXCEPT FOR INDEMNIFIED THIRD PARTY CLAIMS PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.3 OR SECTION 4.4, AS APPLICABLE, IN NO EVENT WILL PURCHASER OR ANY SELLER BE LIABLE TO THE SELLERS OR PURCHASER, AS APPLICABLE, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, STATUTORY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED THAT A LOSS OR INABILITY TO CLAIM TAX CREDITS OR

Development, EPC and Purchase Agreement

OTHER ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, STATUTORY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. IN ADDITION, WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF PURCHASER OR THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF BOTH SELLERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED *** ; PROVIDED THAT SUCH LIMITATION SHALL NOT APPLY TO REDUCE ANY PARTY’S OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY ANOTHER PARTY (A) TO THE EXTENT OF THE PROCEEDS OF INSURANCE OTHERWISE PAYABLE TO THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY, OR (B) FOR LOSSES CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY.

4.6 Indemnification Procedures.

Except with respect to Taxes, each of a Seller’s obligations in Section 4.3 and Purchaser’s obligations in Section 4.4 above (each of a Seller and Purchaser, as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”) with respect to any third party claim are contingent upon the Seller Indemnified Parties or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (each, as applicable, the “Indemnitee”), promptly notifying the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim and promptly tendering the control of the defense and settlement of any such claim to the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and with the Indemnifying Party’s choice of counsel. In connection with the foregoing, the indemnification obligation of Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee shall be reduced if and to the extent the failure of an Indemnitee to provide such notice and tender of control actually prejudices the outcome of any such claim; provided that the foregoing shall not apply so long as the Managing Member of Purchaser is an Affiliate of a Seller. The Indemnitee shall also cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in defending or settling such claim and the Indemnitee may join in defense with counsel of its choice at its own expense. An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of an Indemnitee, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment regarding a third party claim, the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party unless such settlement, compromise or consent (a) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnitee; and (b) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnitee or any of the Indemnitee’s Affiliates. An Indemnitee may not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment regarding any third party claim for which indemnification is sought and the defense of which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
