Section 1.5 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Hanover Working Capital. The parties acknowledge that, prior to the Hanover Closing, Hanover’s customers have generally made payments directly to Seller and Hanover’s expenses have generally been paid directly by Seller. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, from and after the Hanover Closing, (i) Seller shall be responsible for the timely payment of all of Hanover’s accounts payable as of the Hanover Closing and (ii) Seller shall be entitled to receive the benefit of all of Hanover’s accounts receivable as of the Hanover Closing and the Hanover WIP. Any dispute as to which Party is entitled to retain any funds received or as to which Party is obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Section 1.5(a) shall be submitted to the Accountants for resolution, with the Accountants’ determination to be final and binding on both Parties. The cost of the Accountants shall be borne half by Seller and half by Purchaser.

(b) Equipment Adjustments. Within three Business Days after each Closing Date, Purchaser and a representative from Seller will perform a count of the applicable assets and prepare a mutually agreed-upon post-closing statement setting forth the MBTA Equipment Adjustment, the LACMTA Equipment Adjustment, the Xxxxxxxxxx Equipment Adjustment or the WMATA Equipment Adjustment (as applicable) as of such Closing Date, utilizing the values set forth on Annexes A-1 through C-3, as applicable. If the count reveals items of equipment that are not of a type set forth on the applicable Annexes, then the value for such item shall be as agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. If the Parties cannot agree on a value for any such item,

then Seller shall retain such item and no credit will be given to Seller for it in the applicable adjustment. Within five Business Days after the date that the post-closing statement is agreed upon a true-up payment in the amount of the applicable adjustment will be paid in cash by Purchaser to Seller (if the adjustment is positive) and by Seller to Purchaser (if the adjustment is negative).

Section 1.6 Consent of Third Parties. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any of the Contracts or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third Person, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller or Purchaser thereunder. Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of each such Person for the assignment to Purchaser of any such Contract.

Section 1.7 Allocation of Consideration. The allocation of the Purchase Price among the Acquired Assets and Hanover’s assets shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.7 hereto (the “Allocation”). The Parties hereto covenant and agree that the Allocation shall be conclusive and final for all purposes of this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller shall each report the federal, state and local income and other Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Allocation and cooperate in the preparation and filing of Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code (or any successor form or successor provision of any future Tax Law, or any comparable provisions of state, or local tax Law), with their respective federal, state and local income tax returns for the taxable year that includes the applicable Closing Dates. Upon each Closing and each post-Closing adjustment to the Purchase Price, Purchaser and Seller will revise the Allocation to reflect any adjustment in the Purchase Price attributable thereto pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(ii), Section 1.3(c)(ii) or Section 1.5.

Section 1.8 Taxes, Utilities and Assessments; Other Allocations. In the case of the Acquired Assets, any ad valorem, property or similar Taxes, any charges for utilities or similar costs or assessments, and other similar periodic charges and all payments under the Contracts shall be prorated on a per diem basis through the applicable Closing Date (based on estimates or the most recent amounts paid), with Seller being responsible for all of such prorated charges attributable to the period on or prior to such Closing Date and Purchaser being responsible for all of such prorated charges attributable to the period after such Closing Date. Promptly upon receipt, Seller or Purchaser, as appropriate, shall provide the other with copies of all bills for such items for which the other Party is responsible pursuant to this Section 1.8. The resulting amount payable by Seller or Purchaser shall be paid promptly upon demand by the Party hereto to whom such payment is owed.

Purchaser has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other instruments and documents contemplated hereby to be executed and delivered by Purchaser. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and the other instruments and documents contemplated hereby to be executed and delivered by Purchaser, and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) violate or conflict with or result in the breach of any provision of Purchaser’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (ii) whether after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, violate or conflict with any provision of, or result in the modification, cancellation, termination or acceleration of, any obligation under, or result in the imposition or creation of any Encumbrances upon Purchaser or its assets pursuant to any agreement or contract by which Purchaser or its assets are bound (iii) violate or conflict with any Law applicable to Purchaser or any other restriction of any kind or character to which Purchaser is subject, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), such violations or conflicts that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser. This Agreement has been, and the other instruments and documents contemplated hereby to be executed and delivered by Purchaser at each Closing will, at such Closing, have been, duly executed and delivered by Purchaser, and constitute (or will constitute at such Closing, as applicable) legal, valid and binding obligations of Purchaser enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether in equity or at Law).

(b) Purchaser (i) is a corporation, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of California, (ii) and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate the Acquired Assets and to carry on the Business as it is now being conducted, and (iii) upon each Closing, shall be in good standing and duly qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which Purchaser’s ownership or use of the Acquired Assets applicable to such Closing requires it to be so qualified.

Section 3.2 No Brokerage. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with this Agreement, the other documents contemplated by this transaction or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby based upon any agreements, written or oral, made by or on behalf of Purchaser.

Section 3.3 No Breaches. Purchaser is unaware of any breaches of the representations, warranties or covenants made by Seller in Article II hereof.

Section 3.4 Condition of Tangible Assets. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SELLER IS NOT MAKING ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BEYOND THOSE EXPRESSLY GIVEN BY SELLER IN ARTICLE II (AS MODIFIED BY THE SCHEDULES HERETO AS SUPPLEMENTED OR AMENDED), AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED THEREIN, THE ACQUIRED ASSETS AND THE TANGIBLE ASSETS COVERED BY THE CONTRACTS ARE BEING TRANSFERRED ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” BASIS, AND PURCHASER IS ACCEPTING ALL ASSETS OR EQUIPMENT AT OR IN USE AT ANY FACILITY, WHETHER OR NOT OWNED BY SELLER OR HANOVER IN THEIR CURRENT CONDITION ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” BASIS.

Section 3.5 Investor Representations.

(a) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser’s representation to the Seller, which by Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Hanover Interest to be purchased by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third person, with respect to the Hanover Interest.

(b) Reliance Upon Purchaser’s Representations. Purchaser understands that the Hanover Interest is not, at the time of the Hanover Closing may not be, registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof or other available exemption thereunder, and that the Seller’s reliance on such exemption is based on Purchaser’s representations set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, Purchaser intends to acquire the Hanover Interest only for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. Purchaser has no such intention.

(c) Receipt of Information. Purchaser has received and reviewed information about Hanover. Purchaser further represents that through its representatives it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Seller regarding the terms and conditions of the Hanover Interest and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of Hanover and to obtain additional information (to the extent Seller possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) requested by Purchaser. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of Seller in Article II of this Agreement or the right of Purchaser to rely thereon.

(d) Investment Experience. Purchaser is experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Hanover Interest. Purchaser has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Hanover Interest.

(e) Accredited Investor. Purchaser represents and warrants that it is an “Accredited Investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

(f) Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that the Hanover Interest may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Hanover Interest or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Hanover Interest must be held indefinitely. In particular, Purchaser is aware that the Hanover Interest may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met. Among the conditions for use of Rule 144 is the availability of current information to the public about Hanover. Such information is not now available and Hanover has no present plans to make such information available.

Section 3.6 No Other Representations or Warranties; Schedules. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS ARTICLE III (AS MODIFIED BY THE SCHEDULES HERETO), NEITHER PURCHASER NOR ANY OTHER PERSON MAKES ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASER, ITS AFFILIATES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER MADE BY PURCHASER, ANY AFFILIATE OF PURCHASER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN ARTICLE III HEREOF (AS MODIFIED BY THE SCHEDULES HERETO), PURCHASER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, PROJECTION, FORECAST, STATEMENT OR INFORMATION MADE, COMMUNICATED OR FURNISHED (ORALLY OR IN WRITING) TO SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES (INCLUDING ANY OPINION, INFORMATION, PROJECTION, OR ADVICE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN OR MAY BE PROVIDED TO PURCHASER BY ANY DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, AGENT, CONSULTANT OR REPRESENTATIVE OF PURCHASER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES).

(d) General.

(i) The noncompetition covenants in this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to each geographic area separately and shall be severable as to each such geographic area. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Section 4.4 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under the Laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any court determines that any provision of this Section 4.4 is unenforceable, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, or terminate such provision and, in reduced form, such provision shall be enforceable. It is the intention of the Parties that the foregoing restrictions shall not be terminated, unless so terminated by a court, but shall be deemed amended to the extent required to render them valid and enforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of this Section 4.4 in the jurisdiction of the court that has made the adjudication.

(ii) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions contained in Sections 4.4(a), (b) and (c) are a reasonable and necessary protection of the immediate interests of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, and any violation of these restrictions would cause substantial injury to Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, and that Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, would not have entered into this Agreement without receiving the additional consideration offered by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, in binding itself to these restrictions. In the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Seller or any Affiliate of these restrictions, Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Seller or any Affiliate of same from such breach or threatened breach without having to establish monetary damage or post a bond or other security; provided, however, that the right to injunctive relief shall not be construed as prohibiting Purchaser from pursuing any other available remedies for such breach or threatened breach.

Section 4.5 Seller Name. Purchaser shall not have any right, title or interest in any trade names, trademarks, identifying logos or service marks employing the words “Exterran”, “Hanover” or “Universal Compression” or any variation thereof; provided, however, that for a transition period of no more than 30 days after each Closing Date, Purchaser may use such names but only in the operation of the applicable portion of the Business and for no other

purpose. Purchaser may, however, use the words “formerly known as Hanover Compressed Natural Gas Services, LLC” in conjunction with Hanover’s new name. Furthermore, Purchaser shall have no right to the corporate name “Hanover Compressed Natural Gas Services” and agrees within five (5) Business Days after the Hanover Closing to file (a) an amendment to the Certificate of Formation of Hanover in Delaware changing the name of the company to a name that does not include the words “Hanover”, “Exterran” or “Universal Compression” and (b) appropriate documentation in any other jurisdiction in which Hanover is qualified as a foreign entity.

Section 4.6 Investigation. From the date hereof until each Closing, Seller shall give Purchaser and its representatives (including Purchaser’s accountants, consultants, counsel, employees and authorized agents), upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, reasonable access to the applicable Contract and the books and records relating to the applicable Acquired Assets. Any such investigation and examination shall be conducted under reasonable circumstances and shall be subject to restrictions under applicable Law. Seller shall cause the officers, employees, consultants, agents, accountants, attorneys and other representatives of Seller and its Affiliates to cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives in connection with such investigation and examination, and Purchaser and its representatives shall cooperate with Seller and its representatives and shall use their reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the Business or operation of the Acquired Assets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such investigation or examination shall be permitted to the extent that it would require Seller or any of its Affiliates to disclose information subject to attorney-client privilege or conflict with any confidentiality obligations to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is bound. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the applicable Closing with respect to a Contract, without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld for any reason, (a) Purchaser shall not contact any suppliers to, or customers of, Seller related to such Contract or any of the Parties to such Contract, including, without limitation, the applicable transit authorities, and (b) Purchaser shall have no right to perform invasive or subsurface investigations of the properties of Seller or any of its Affiliates or of the Facilities related to such Contract. No investigation or receipt of information by Purchaser pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement, shall diminish or obviate any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Seller under this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement.

Section 4.7 Taxes.

(a) Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall (a) each provide the other with such assistance and information as may reasonably be requested in connection with the preparation of any Return, any audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority or any judicial or administrative proceeding with respect to Taxes, (b) each retain and provide the other with any records or other information which may be relevant to such Return, audit, examination or proceeding, and (c) each provide the other with any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Return of Seller for any period. State or local Taxes imposed upon Hanover shall be apportioned between pre- and post-Hanover Closing Date Tax Periods based on a closing of the books of the relevant entity as of the Hanover Closing Date, provided that (i) any Taxes incurred or arising by reason of transactions occurring on or before the Closing Date shall be

treated as occurring in a pre-Closing Date Tax Period and (ii) Taxes based on items of depreciation and amortization for any Straddle Period or based on existence or operation within a tax jurisdiction for a length of time, shall be allocated on a daily pro rata basis. Purchaser shall be responsible for filing state or local Returns with respect to Taxes for any Straddle Period that are imposed on Hanover.

(b) Purchaser will cause Hanover to timely prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file, or cause to be filed, all Returns for Hanover for any Straddle Period (the “Straddle Period Returns”). Purchaser will provide Seller with copies of any Straddle Period Returns at least 60 days prior to the due date thereof (giving effect to any extensions thereto), accompanied by a statement (the “Straddle Statement”) setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the Taxes that relate to the portion of such Tax Period ending on the Hanover Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Taxes”). If Seller agrees with the Straddle Period Return and Straddle Statement, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser, not later than 5 Business Days before the due date for the payment of Taxes with respect to such Straddle Period Return, an amount equal to the Pre-Closing Taxes as shown on the Straddle Statement. If, within 20 days after the receipt of the Straddle Period Return and Straddle Statement, Seller (a) notifies Purchaser that Seller disputes the manner of preparation of the Straddle Period Return or the Pre-Closing Taxes calculated in the Straddle Statement and (b) provides Purchaser with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail Seller’s computation of the Pre-Closing Taxes and proposed form of the Straddle Period Return and Straddle Statement, then Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to resolve their disagreement within 5 days following Seller’s notification of Purchaser of such disagreement. If Purchaser and Seller are not able to resolve their disagreement, then the dispute shall be submitted to the Accountants. The Accountants will resolve the disagreement within 30 days after the date on which they are engaged or as soon as possible thereafter. The determination of the Accountants shall be binding on the Parties. The cost of the services of the Accountants will be borne by the Party whose calculation of the matter in disagreement differs the most from the calculation as finally determined by the Accountants. If each of the Party’s calculation differs equally from the calculation as finally determined by the Accountants, then such cost will be borne half by Seller and half by Purchaser.

Section 4.8 Confidentiality. Each of the Parties will treat as confidential and keep secret the affairs of the other Party and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, information about processes, procedures, techniques, know-how, pricing and other similar proprietary and confidential information) and, at any time before or after any Closing Date, will not, without the prior written consent of the other Party or such Affiliate, as the case may be, disclose, furnish or make known or accessible to or use for the benefit of anyone, any information of any confidential nature relating in any way to the Acquired Assets or the Business while such Acquired Assets or Business are owned or operated by the other Party, unless such information is otherwise publicly available or except as may be required by any Law, including disclosures required by any rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to which the Parties are bound or subject. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Parties shall be free to disclose any such information or data to their representatives or in order to establish such Party’s position in any legal proceeding based upon or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the failure of any of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated. Prior to any disclosure pursuant to the preceding sentence, each of the Parties shall give reasonable prior notice to the other Party of

such intended disclosure and if requested by the other Party, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or similar protection for the other Party and its Affiliates. The Parties agree that following execution of this Agreement, at a time and date agreed to by Seller and Purchaser, Purchaser will issue a press release announcing the transactions covered by this Agreement.

Section 4.9 Employees.

(a) Purchaser’s intention is, at or prior to each Closing, to offer employment to all of the Employees identified on Schedule 4.9. Purchaser and Seller shall together coordinate the process by which the Transferred Employees are offered employment with Purchaser and the transition of the Transferred Employees from Seller to Purchaser. Such offers will be for employment commencing as of the applicable Closing Date and consistent with Section 4.9(b), and otherwise on such terms and conditions as Purchaser determines in its sole discretion. The employees of Seller who accept such offers are referred to herein as (“Transferred Employees”). Seller will terminate its employment arrangement with each of the Transferred Employees effective as of the applicable Closing Date. For the purpose of clarity, Purchaser shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any employee of Seller that does not receive or accept an offer of employment from Purchaser.

(b) For purposes of determining eligibility (but not benefit accrual) under the Benefit Plans of Purchaser providing benefits to the Transferred Employees (the “Purchaser Plans”) on the basis of seniority, Purchaser shall credit each Transferred Employee with his or her years of service with Seller, its Affiliates and any predecessor entities. The Purchaser Plans shall not deny Transferred Employees coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions. Except as required by applicable Law, Seller shall be responsible for all liabilities with respect to Transferred Employees attributable to their accrued and unused vacation, sick days and personal days through the date of assignment.

(c) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless with respect to any Transferred Employee from (i) any employment-related liability with respect to employment after the Closing Date applicable to such Transferred Employee and (ii) any liability relating to, arising under or in connection with any Purchaser Plan and any liability under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), in each case arising after the Closing Date.

(d) Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates harmless with respect to any Transferred Employee from (i) any employment-related liability with respect to employment prior to the Closing Date applicable to such Transferred Employee and (ii) any liability relating to, arising under or in connection with any Benefits Plans of Seller and any liability under COBRA, in each case arising prior to the Closing Date.

Section 4.10 Health Care Continuation Coverage. Seller shall be required to maintain its “group health plan” (as defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) following the Closing for purposes of complying with the requirements under Section 4980B(f) of the Code or any other similar Laws providing for continuation coverage with respect to any Employees that are or become “M&A qualified beneficiaries” (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation §54.4980B-9, Q&A 4) as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.11 Supplementation of Schedules. The Parties shall have the right, from time to time prior to or at any Closing, by written notice to the other Party, to supplement or amend the schedules qualifying their respective representations and warranties in this Agreement or to add a schedule to qualify a representation or warranty for which no schedule is provided as of the date hereof. For all purposes of this Agreement, including the determination of whether the conditions to closing contained in Section 5.1(a), Section 5.2(a), Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.4(a) have been satisfied, the schedules shall be deemed to include only that information contained therein on the date hereof, and shall be deemed to exclude any information contained in a supplement or amendment, but if any Closing occurs, then all matters disclosed pursuant to any supplement or amendment at or prior to such Closing shall be waived and no claim for indemnity under this Agreement shall be permitted with respect to the information included in any such supplement or amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, matters or information disclosed pursuant to any supplement or amendment to the schedules after any Closing hereunder shall not invalidate any otherwise valid claim for indemnity relating to such Closing or the period prior to such Closing with respect to such matter or information disclosed in any such supplement or amendment.

Section 4.12 Replacement of Seller Credit Support. All items of Seller Credit Support are described in Schedule 4.12. Purchaser shall assist Seller in obtaining, effective as of each Closing Date, the release of all of the Seller Credit Support related to the applicable Contract(s), in form and substance satisfactory to Seller, and, at such Closing, shall return or reimburse Seller for any such cash deposits and replace all bonds, letters of credit, guarantees and other surety arrangements and credit assurances provided, funded or otherwise supported by Seller or its Affiliates. In the event Purchaser is unable to obtain all such releases and the return of all such bonds, letters of credit, guarantees and other credit support vehicles, then Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, permit Purchaser to (a) secure such obligations by providing to Seller and its Affiliates at such Closing back-to-back irrevocable stand-by letters of credit issued by nationally recognized financial institutions (or other back-to-back credit support) reasonably acceptable to Seller for the benefit of Seller and such Affiliates with respect to each item of Seller Credit Support that remains in effect on and after such Closing Date, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Seller in its sole discretion, for the full amount and time period that Seller or its Affiliates are liable in respect of any such remaining Seller Credit Support or obligated to perform thereunder (b) reimburse Seller for the out-of-pocket cost of maintaining existing Seller Credit Support in place from and after the applicable Closing Date and (c) use its commercially reasonable efforts after such Closing Date to obtain all such releases and returns as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 4.13 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 4.14 Insurance. The Parties and Hanover shall secure and maintain insurance with respect to each Facility and each Contract for the duration of the Contract applicable to such Facility or Contract to the extent and as set forth on Schedule 4.14.

Section 4.16 Cooperation Regarding Programmable Logic Controller. Seller and its Affiliates will make available to Purchaser the source code and any other information Purchaser may need in order to revise, amend, enhance or augment the custom software program(s) used in connection with the programmable logic controller/computer used by Seller and/or Hanover in connection with the Acquired Assets and the Business. Seller will also make available to Purchaser its and/or its Affiliates programmers to provide reasonable programming assistance to Purchaser on an “as needed” basis, not to exceed eight hours per week, at the hourly rates set forth on Schedule 4.16 for a period of two months following the Hanover Closing.

Section 4.17 Intentionally Deleted.

(i) Seller obtains a complete release from WMATA of all liabilities and obligations under such Contract arising from facts and circumstances occurring after the end of the current term of such Contract; or

(ii) (A) Purchaser uses its best efforts to induce WMATA to grant the release referenced in Section 4.18(b)(i) and permits Seller to review and comment on Purchaser’s application for and other correspondence with WMATA related to the extension and to participate in discussions with WMATA related thereto, but notwithstanding such efforts WMATA refuses to grant such release, (B) the extension does not extend the term or result in Purchaser performing work under the WMATA Contract past September 1, 2011 and (C) Seller deems Purchaser to be sufficiently creditworthy, in Seller’s reasonable discretion.

(c) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing upon becoming aware of (i) any actions, omissions, facts or circumstances that will or could be reasonably likely to result in a breach or violation of any Contract or (ii) any communication or notices from any federal, state or local regulatory authority. To the extent any Transit Authority informs or notifies either Party of a breach or violation, or potential breach or violation of any Contract, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of this fact.

Purchaser shall have furnished Seller with a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E dated the WMATA Closing Date and signed by a senior executive officer of Purchaser to the effect that the conditions set forth in this Section 5.4(a) have been satisfied.

(b) Required Consents. Seller shall have obtained, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, the written consent of WMATA to the assignment of the WMATA Contract.

(c) Injunction; Litigation; Legislation. (i) Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be subject to any order or injunction restraining or prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the WMATA Closing, (ii) no action or proceeding shall have been instituted before any court or Government Authority to restrain or prohibit, or to obtain substantial damages from Seller in respect of, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the WMATA Closing, (iii) neither of the Parties hereto shall have received written notice from any Government Authority of (A) its intention to institute any action or proceeding to restrain, enjoin or nullify this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the WMATA Closing, or to commence any investigation (other than a routine letter of inquiry, including a routine civil investigative demand) into the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the WMATA Closing or (B) the actual commencement of such investigation, and (iv) no statute, rule or regulation shall have been promulgated or enacted by any Government Authority, which would prevent or make illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the WMATA Closing.

(d) Documents. Purchaser shall have delivered to Seller at the WMATA Closing the documents and instruments set forth in Section 1.2(d)(ii).

ARTICLE VI
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1 Survival. All of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document or other instrument delivered in connection with this Agreement shall survive (and not be affected in any respect by) the Closings and any investigation conducted by any Party hereto and any information which any Party may receive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Acquired Assets that are the subject of each Closing and the related indemnity obligations set forth herein shall terminate on, and no claim or Action with respect thereto may be brought after, the eighteen (18) month period immediately subsequent to the applicable Closing Date (the “Survival Period”); provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1 (authorization), the third sentence of Section 2.4(a) (title), Section 2.10 (taxes) and Section 3.1 (authorization), and the indemnity obligations for breach of such representations and warranties contained in Section 6.2(a)(i) and Section 6.2(b)(i) shall survive indefinitely and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.7 (environmental matters) and the indemnity obligations for breach of such representations and warranties contained in Section 6.2(a)(i) shall survive until third anniversary of the applicable Closing Date. The representations and warranties which terminate at a specified date and the liability of any Party with respect to any breach thereof shall not terminate with respect to any claim, whether or not fixed as to liability or liquidated as to amount, with respect to which such Party has been given written notice setting forth the facts upon which the claim for indemnification is based and, if possible, a reasonable estimate of the amount of the claims, prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months (or three years, as applicable) immediately subsequent to the applicable Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall require any Party seeking indemnification to commence a lawsuit against the Party from whom indemnification is sought within the Survival Period nor shall the Survival Period be deemed to constitute a contractual period of limitations except as expressly provided herein.

Section 6.2 Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify Purchaser, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller, as set forth below.

(a) Indemnification by Seller. Subject to Section 6.1 and to this Section 6.2, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates for, from, and against all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, whether asserted by a Party or by a third party, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, disbursements and expenses (including any reasonable Legal Expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) based upon, arising out of, asserted against, resulting from, imposed on, or otherwise in respect of (i) the breach of any

representation or warranty of Seller made pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to determine the inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty of Seller and the Losses arising from such inaccuracy or breach, such representation and warranty shall be read as if it were not qualified by materiality, including, without limitation, qualifications indicating accuracy in all material respects, and further, with respect to the representations and warranties in Section 2.3, such representations and warranties shall be read as if disclosure #1 on Schedule 2.3 had not been made), (ii) the breach by Seller of, or the failure by Seller to perform, any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (iii) the Non-Assumed Liabilities, and (iv) any Third Party Indemnification Claim which could give rise to indemnification by Seller hereunder.

(b) Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to Section 6.1 and to this Section 6.2, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates for, from and against any Losses based upon, arising out of, asserted against, resulting from, imposed on, or otherwise in respect of (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (ii) the breach by Purchaser of, or failure by Purchaser to perform, any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (iii) the Assumed Liabilities, and (iv) any Third Party Indemnification Claim which could give rise to indemnification by Purchaser hereunder.

(c) Limitations.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, (A) except with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1 (authorization), Section 2.4(a) (title) Section 2.5 (labor; employee benefits), Section 2.6 (brokerage), and Section 2.10 (taxes), as to which no limitations shall apply, and with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.7 (environmental matters), as to which the limitations set forth in Section 6.2(c)(i)(B) shall apply, (1) Seller shall not be required, pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i), to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser until the aggregate amount of its Losses under Section 6.2(a)(i) exceed $50,000, after which Seller shall be obligated for all Losses in excess of $50,000 and (2) the cumulative aggregate indemnity obligations of Seller under Section 6.2(a)(i) shall in no event exceed $1,200,000 in the aggregate; and (B) with respect to any breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.7 (environmental matters) the indemnity obligations of Seller under Section 6.2(a)(i) for all such breaches relating to the Acquired Assets shall in no event exceed $3,000,000.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, except with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1, as to which no limitations shall apply (A) Purchaser shall not be required, pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(i), to indemnify and hold harmless Seller until the aggregate amount of Seller’s Losses under Section 6.2(b)(i) exceeds $50,000, after which Purchaser shall be obligated for all Losses in excess of $50,000 and (B) the cumulative aggregate indemnity obligations of Purchaser under Section 6.2(b)(i) shall in no event exceed $1,200,000 in the aggregate.

(iii) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI shall be net of (A) any amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party under insurance policies in effect and applicable to such Losses; and (B) any amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party from any third party with respect to such Losses.

(iv) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THE LAST SENTENCE OF THIS SECTION 6.2(c)(iv), IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY), WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, AND ALL SUCH INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARE HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED, RELEASED AND DISCHARGED. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, LOSSES THAT ARE SUFFERED BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY AS A RESULT OF (A) ANY THIRD PARTY INDEMNIFICATION CLAIM, OR (B) LOST PROFITS DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE LOSS OF A CONTRACT (AS DEFINED IN EXHIBIT A ATTACHED HERETO) IN EFFECT AS OF THE DATE OF THE APPLICABLE CLOSING (BUT NOT TO ANY EXTENSIONS OR MODIFICATIONS THEREOF) THAT IS TERMINATED BY A TRANSIT AUTHORITY DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY MADE BY SELLER HEREUNDER, SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS HEREOF AND SHALL BE RECOVERABLE HEREUNDER PROVIDED THAT THE AGGREGATE LOST PROFITS DAMAGES THAT MAY BE RECOVERED BY PURCHASER HEREUNDER WITH RESPECT TO THE LOSS OF A CONTRACT SHALL BE CAPPED AT THE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATED TO SUCH CONTRACT.

(d) Promptly after receipt by Purchaser or Seller of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which, with the lapse of time, would give rise to a claim or the commencement (or threatened commencement) of any Action by a third Person which could give rise to an obligation to provide indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (the “Third Party Indemnification Claim”), the indemnified party will give the indemnifying party prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the Indemnified party’s receipt of notice of the Third Party Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that the failure of the indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party within such 15-day period shall not prevent any indemnified party from being indemnified for any Losses, except to the extent that the failure to so promptly notify the indemnifying party, and then only to the extent of such actual damage, actually damages the indemnifying party or materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend against such claim.

(e) Any Third Party Indemnification Claim shall describe the claim in reasonable detail. If the indemnifying party confirms in writing to the indemnified party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Third Party Indemnification Claim the indemnifying party’s responsibility to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnifying party therefor, the indemnifying party shall also notify the indemnified party as to whether the indemnifying party elects to compromise or defend, at such indemnifying party’s own expense and by such indemnifying party’s own counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, any

Third Party Indemnification Claim. If the indemnifying party elects to compromise or defend any Third Party Indemnification Claim, the indemnified party shall cooperate, at the expense of the indemnifying party, in the compromise of, or defense against, the such Third Party Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that (i) the indemnified party may, if the indemnified party so desires, employ counsel at the indemnified party’s own expense to assist in the handling (but not control the defense) of any Third Party Indemnification Claim, (ii) the indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party advised of all material events with respect to the Third Party Indemnification Claim, (iii) the indemnifying party shall obtain the prior written approval of the indemnified party before ceasing to defend against the Third Party Indemnification Claim or entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of the Third Party Indemnification Claim involving injunctive or similar equitable relief being asserted against any indemnified party or any of its Affiliates and (iv) no indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is a Party to the Action), unless such settlement, compromise or consent by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with the Third Party Indemnification Claim and includes an unconditional release of all indemnified parties from all liability arising out of the Third Party Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to have sole control over (and if he, she or it so desires, the indemnified party shall have sole control over) the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of (A) any non-monetary Third Party Indemnification Claim that seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against any indemnified party or its Affiliates which, if successful, is reasonably likely to interfere with the business, assets, liabilities, obligations, prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the indemnified party or any of its Affiliates and (B) any matter relating to Taxes of Purchaser or Seller or any of their Affiliates. If the indemnifying party elects not to compromise or defend against the asserted liability, or fails to notify the indemnified party of his, her or its election as herein provided, the indemnified party may, at the indemnifying party’s expense, pay, compromise or defend against such asserted liability. In connection with any defense of a Third Party Indemnification Claim (whether by the indemnifying parties or the indemnified parties), all of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and to in good faith retain and furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested by a Party hereto in connection therewith.

(f) If any indemnified party becomes entitled to any indemnification from an indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement, such indemnification payment shall be made in cash upon demand.

(g) Any indemnification payment made by a Party pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 6.3 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except for (a) a Claim based on actual fraud, in which case none of the limitations contained in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 shall apply, from and after the Closing, (b) as set forth in Sections 4.4 and 4.13 of this Agreement and (c) under the terms of the Seller Guaranty and the Purchaser Guaranty, the indemnification rights set forth in this

Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and all claims arising from or related to this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, whether based in contract, tort or otherwise.

Section 6.4 Conflict with Transit Authority Documents. The Parties acknowledge that LACMTA has circulated a draft Consent to Assignment relating to the transfer of the Hanover Interest (the “LACMTA Consent”) and has requested that the Parties execute it, and the Parties intend to do so once it is in mutually agreeable form, either at or after the Hanover Closing. The draft reviewed by the Parties includes a paragraph 5 which contains indemnity language that is inconsistent in certain respects with the provisions of this Article VI. The Parties further acknowledge that the Xxxxxxxxxx Contract Assignment and the WMATA Contract Assignment, may also contain indemnity language that is inconsistent with or conflicts with the provisions of this Article VI. The Parties agree that, solely as between Seller and Purchaser, any indemnity provisions in the LACMTA Consent, Xxxxxxxxxx Consent and the WMATA Consent will be of no effect and the indemnity provisions in this Agreement shall be the exclusive source of indemnification rights and remedies relating to the transactions. The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall apply even if any of the LACMTA Consent, the Xxxxxxxxxx consent or the WMATA Consent is executed after this Agreement, unless any such later-executed document expressly references this Section 6.4 and repudiates its effect with respect to such document.

ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties agree that facsimile copy or electronic transmittal of executed counterparts of this Agreement shall constitute original signatures of the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 7.2 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the choice of Law principles thereof. Any Action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the other instruments and documents contemplated hereby to be executed and delivered by either Party, or any matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the other instruments and documents contemplated hereby to be executed and delivered by either Party, or otherwise, and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of Delaware, the United States of America for the District of Delaware and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser hereby accepts for itself, as the case may be, and in respect of such Person’s property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts thereof. Each of Seller and Purchaser irrevocably consents to service of process in any Action in any of the aforementioned courts in any such Action by the mailing of copies thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, or by recognized overnight delivery service, to each of Seller and Purchaser at its respective addresses referred to in Section 7.6. Each of Seller and Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any objection

which such Person may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid Actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the other instruments and documents contemplated hereby to be executed and delivered by either Party, or otherwise brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. The foregoing consents to jurisdiction and appointments of agents to receive service of process shall not constitute general consents to service of process in any jurisdiction for any purpose except as provided above and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties.

(b) To the extent that Seller or Purchaser has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself, as the case may be, or to such Person’s property, each of Seller and Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of such Person’s obligations with respect to this Agreement.

Section 7.3 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute arising between the Parties related to this Agreement must, prior to the filing of any lawsuit be submitted by the Parties to non-binding mediation in Denver, Colorado or another mutually acceptable location before a mutually acceptable mediator who is a retired judge. In the event that the mediation process fails to result in a resolution of the dispute within sixty (60) days after the date that the mediation has been initiated, the Parties may take such other action or institute such other proceeding, including filing a lawsuit, as they may deem necessary to preserve and protect their respective rights and interests.

Section 7.4 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement, together with the documents and instruments set forth in Section 1.2(b), (c) and (d) and the other documents and instruments entered into pursuant hereto (collectively, the “Ancillary Agreements”), contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior negotiations, writings and understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement are merged in and are superseded and canceled by, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including, without limitation, the letter of intent dated March 3, 2009; and the Nondisclosure Agreement dated April 24, 2007.

Section 7.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no Party hereto may assign his, her or its rights or delegate his, her or its obligations, in whole or in part, under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, except that Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates subject to the approval of Seller, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld; provided that such assignment shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. Any assignment in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 7.8 Headings. The Section, Article and other headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 7.9 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by Seller and Purchaser. Any Party hereto may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by any other Parties hereto with any term or provision hereof on the part of such other Party or Parties hereto to be performed or complied with. The waiver by any Party hereto of a breach of any term or provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

Section 7.10 Interpretation; Absence of Presumption.

(a) For the purposes hereof, (i) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires, (ii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Article, Section, paragraph, Annex, Exhibit and Schedule references are to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified, (iii) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified, (iv) the word “or” shall not be exclusive, and (v) provisions shall apply, when appropriate, to successive events and transactions. Items or information may be disclosed in the Schedules hereto which Seller is not required to disclose under the Agreement; disclosure of such items or information shall not affect (directly or indirectly) the interpretation of the Agreement or the scope of the disclosure obligation under the Agreement. In addition, inclusion of such information herein shall not be construed as an admission that such information is “material” for any purpose.

(b) With regard to each and every term and condition of this Agreement and any and all agreements and instruments subject to the terms hereof, the Parties hereto understand and agree that the same have or has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and if at any time the Parties hereto desire or are required to interpret or construe any such term or condition or any agreement or instrument subject hereto, no consideration shall be given to the issue of which Party hereto actually prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument subject hereto.

(c) Information provided in any one Schedule provided pursuant to Article II shall suffice, without repetition or cross-reference, as a disclosure of such information in any other Schedule provided or to be provided pursuant to Article II if the disclosure in the first such Schedule is sufficient on its face without further inquiry to reasonably inform Purchaser of the information required to be disclosed in such other such Schedule in order to avoid a breach under the Agreement.

Section 7.11 Severability. Any provision hereof which is invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof, provided, however, that the Parties shall attempt in good faith to reform this Agreement in a manner consistent with the intent of any such ineffective provision for the purpose of carrying out such intent.

Section 7.12 Further Assurances.

(a) From time to time after each Closing Date, upon the reasonable request of Purchaser, Seller shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such further instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer and take such further action as Purchaser may reasonably request in order more effectively to sell, assign, convey, transfer, reduce to possession and record title to the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, as the case may be. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in all reasonable respects to assure to Purchaser the continued title to and possession of the Acquired Assets in the condition and manner contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) From time to time after each Closing Date, upon the reasonable request of Seller, Purchaser shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such further instruments of assumption and take such further action as Seller may reasonably request in order more effectively to effectuate Purchaser’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities in accordance herewith.

(c) From and after each Closing Date, if Seller receives payment or revenues that relate to the post-Closing period with respect to the Acquired Assets or if Purchaser or Hanover receives payment or revenues that relate to the pre-Closing period with respect to the Acquired Assets, the receiving Party shall promptly remit such amounts to the other Party.

Section 7.13 Business Days. If any date provided for in this Agreement shall fall on a day which is not a Business Day, the date provided for shall be deemed to refer to the next Business Day.

Section 7.14 Bulk Transfer. The Parties hereto hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any applicable bulk sales Law of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and no representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been breached as a result of such non-compliance. Nothing in this Section 7.14 shall eliminate or limit any Party’s ability to avail itself of any available bulk sale or casual sale exemption from any sales or use Tax in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 7.15 Transfer and Other Taxes. Any and all sales and use, transfer, conveyance, recordation and filing fees, Taxes or assessments (other than income taxes), including fees in connection with the recordation of instruments related thereto, applicable to, imposed upon or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the sale, assignment, conveyance and transfer to Purchaser of the Acquired Assets and any services provided by either Party relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be borne by Purchaser in the absence of Purchaser furnishing Seller with a valid state-specific sales and use tax exemption, direct pay permit or resale certificate. If any Tax exemption, resale, or direct pay permit certificate provided by Purchaser to Seller is not recognized by a Taxing Authority involved, Purchaser will promptly reimburse Seller for any Taxes that Seller is required to pay. Tax exemption certificates should be in the state specific format for the locations where the equipment resides at the time of sale. In the event Seller executes a waiver of the statute of limitations that includes in whole or part the equipment or any services included in this Agreement in connection with an audit conducted by a proper Government Authority, the statute of limitations shall not apply to the obligation of Purchaser to reimburse taxes, penalties and/or interest to Seller under this Section 7.15.

Section 7.16 Termination.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement that pertain to the Xxxxxxxxxx Closing or the WMATA Closing may be terminated at any time prior to such Closing:

(i) By the written agreement of Purchaser and Seller upon such terms and conditions as they shall agree;

(ii) By Purchaser, if (A) there shall occur a Material Adverse Change or (B) any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 (in which case Purchaser may terminate this Agreement as it pertains to the Xxxxxxxxxx Closing) or Section 5.3 (in which case Purchaser may terminate this Agreement as it pertains to the WMATA Closing) hereof becomes incapable of fulfillment (other than as a result of a breach by Purchaser of this Agreement) and is not waived by Purchaser;

(iii) By Seller, if (A) there shall occur with regard to Purchaser a Material Adverse Change or (B) any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (in which case Seller may terminate this Agreement as it pertains to the Xxxxxxxxxx Closing) or Section 5.4 (in which case Seller may terminate this Agreement as it pertains to the WMATA Closing) hereof becomes incapable of fulfillment (other than as a result of a breach by Seller of this Agreement) and is not waived by Seller;

(iv) With respect to the Xxxxxxxxxx Closing, in accordance with Section 1.3(b)(iii); or

(v) With respect to the WMATA Closing, in accordance with Section 1.3(c)(iii).

(b) Upon any termination of this Agreement as it pertains to either the Xxxxxxxxxx Closing or the WMATA Closing pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.16, no Party shall thereafter have any further liability or obligation related to such Closing hereunder except for the obligations under Section 7.2, Section 7.3, Section 7.5, Section 7.6, and Section 4.8 which shall continue subsequent to the date of termination hereof; provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve any Party of any liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to the date of such termination and provided further that any termination shall not impact any Ancillary Agreements previously executed and delivered and the corresponding transfer of funds out of Escrow with respect to the Escrow Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been signed by or on behalf of each of the Parties as of the day first above written.
