Section 2.6 Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount.

(a) At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, Seller will prepare (at Seller’s expense) and deliver to Buyer a worksheet setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the Aggregate Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount”), as well as a computation thereof (which computation shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the preparation of the Balance Sheet (provided that in the event of a conflict between GAAP and consistent application thereof, GAAP shall prevail), subject to such difference in accounting principles, policies and procedures as are set forth on Exhibit C (the “Accounting Principles”)), together with a reasonably detailed explanation of, and documentation sufficient to confirm the accuracy of the computation of, such Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. Buyer shall have the right to reasonably and in good faith object to the amounts contained in Seller’s calculation of Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount within three (3) Business Days after Seller’s delivery thereof to Buyer. Seller shall in good faith consider any such objections of Buyer and, if Buyer has made any reasonable objections, shall re-issue Seller’s good faith estimate of the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date with any such revisions that Seller has determined in good faith are appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Parties to agree on the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount shall in no way delay the Closing and the Parties hereby agree that any pre-Closing disagreement with respect to the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount will be handled with the post-Closing adjustment mechanisms contained herein. If (i) the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Aggregate Target Net Working Capital Amount, the Base Purchase Price payable at Closing will be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount minus the Aggregate Target Net Working Capital Amount; and (ii) the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Aggregate Target Net Working Capital Amount, the Base Purchase Price payable at Closing will be decreased by an amount equal to the difference between the Aggregate Target Net Working Capital Amount minus the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount (such amount under either (i) or (ii) is referred to as the “Closing Date Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount”).

(b) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare (at Buyer’s expense) and deliver to Seller a worksheet setting forth Buyer’s good faith computation of the actual amount of the Aggregate Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount”), which computation shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and on the same format as set forth on Exhibit C, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of, and documentation sufficient to confirm the accuracy of the computation of, such Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. If within forty-five (45) days following delivery of such worksheet and supporting documentation, Seller does not object in writing thereto to Buyer, then the Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount shall constitute the actual amount of the Aggregate Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement (the “Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount”). If, within forty-five (45) days following delivery of such worksheet and supporting documentation, Seller objects in writing thereto to Buyer (describing in reasonable detail the specific line items and values that are in dispute and the reasons for such dispute, and proposing alternative values with respect to such specific line items) such Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount shall be subject to the objection and resolution provisions set forth in Section 2.6(e) below.

(c) If the Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount is not prepared and delivered by Buyer within the sixty (60) day period set forth in Section 2.6(b) above, Seller shall be entitled (but not obligated) during the forty-five (45) day period commencing on the sixty-first (61^st) day after the Closing Date to prepare (at Seller’s expense) and deliver to Buyer a worksheet setting forth Seller’s good faith computation of the Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount, which computation shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and on the same format as set forth on Exhibit C, and based upon information available to Seller, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of, and documentation sufficient to confirm the accuracy of the computation of, such Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. If within thirty (30) days following delivery of such worksheet and supporting documentation, Buyer does not object in writing thereto to Seller, then the Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount submitted by Seller pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall constitute the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of such worksheet and supporting documentation, Buyer objects in writing thereto to Seller (describing in reasonable detail the specific line items and values that are in dispute and the reasons for such dispute, and proposing alternative values with respect to such specific line items), such Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount shall be subject to the objection and resolution provisions set forth in Section 2.6(e) below.

(d) If neither Buyer nor Seller prepares and timely delivers a Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount in accordance with Section 2.6(b) or Section 2.6(c), above, the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount delivered at Closing shall become the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount for all purposes hereunder.

(e) If Seller timely objects to Buyer’s Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount pursuant to Section 2.6(b) or if Buyer timely objects to Seller’s Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount pursuant to Section 2.6(c), then Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and attempt to resolve the particular items and values that are identified in the applicable written notice of objection over a twenty (20) day period commencing on delivery of written notice of objection pursuant to Section 2.6(b) or Section 2.6(c), as the case may be. Should such negotiations not result in an agreement as to the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount within such twenty (20) day period (or such longer period as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree), then either party may submit such disputed items and values to the Neutral Auditor. Each Party agrees to promptly execute a reasonable engagement letter, if requested to do so by the Neutral Auditor. Buyer and Seller, and their respective Representatives, shall cooperate fully with the Neutral Auditor. The Neutral Auditor, acting

as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall resolve such disputed items and determine the values to be ascribed thereto, and using those values (together with other items not in dispute) determine the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date only (prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles). The Parties hereby agree that the Neutral Auditor shall only decide the specific disputed items, the values ascribed thereto and using those values (together with the other items included in the applicable Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount) determine the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount, and the Neutral Auditor’s decision with respect to such disputed items and values must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the applicable Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount and the notice of objection, respectively. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Auditor will be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. The Neutral Auditor shall be directed to resolve the disputed items and amounts and deliver to Buyer and Seller a written determination of the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount (such determination to made consistent with this Section 2.6(e), to include a worksheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and to be based solely on information provided to the Neutral Auditor by Buyer or Seller) within thirty (30) days after being retained, which determination will be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and their respective Affiliates, and their respective Representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the dispute resolution mechanism contained in this Section 2.6(e) shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes, if any, regarding the Aggregate Net Working Capital, if any, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article X for Losses reflected in the amount of the Aggregate Net Working Capital or the determination of Aggregate Net Working Capital.

(f) The “Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount” shall be calculated by computing the Closing Date Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 2.6(a), but substituting the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount for the Estimated Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. The “Post-Closing Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount” shall be the amount (positive or negative) equal to (i) the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount minus (ii) the Closing Date Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount. If the Post-Closing Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount is a positive amount, then Buyer shall pay in cash to Seller the amount of the Post-Closing Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount. If the Post-Closing Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount is a negative amount, then Seller shall pay in cash to Buyer the amount equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount. Any such net excess or deficit payment in respect of the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount will be due and payable within five (5) Business Days after the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount is finally determined as provided in this Section 2.6(f) and will be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as shall be specified by Buyer or Seller, as applicable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.6(f) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Tax Allocation Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(g) Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and provide each other and, if applicable the Neutral Auditor, and their respective Representatives, reasonable assistance and access to such books, records and employees (including those of the Acquired Companies) as are reasonably requested in connection with the matters addressed in this Section 2.6. Consistent with the foregoing, following the Closing and until the finalization of the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.6, Buyer shall, at Seller’s expense, provide or provide reasonable access (in a manner not unreasonably disruptive to its business) to Seller or the Neutral Auditor (as applicable) to review the books and records, documents and work papers related to the preparation of the worksheet and computation of the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount. Seller and the Neutral Auditor shall be entitled to make reasonable inquiries and information requests of

Buyer regarding the worksheet setting forth the computation Amount and the calculations set forth therein, provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6(g), such access shall not include (i) access to materials that are subject to the attorney-client, work-product or other similar privilege or (ii) access to any working papers of any independent accountant unless customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreements have been first executed.

Section 2.7 Tax Treatment; Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, since the Acquired Companies other than FPLE Xxxxxx and Xxxxx are classified as entities disregarded from their owners for federal income tax purposes, and (b) an election pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code shall be made with respect to the acquisition of the membership interests in FPLE Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, the purchase and sale of the Interests is intended to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a purchase and sale of the Assets and liabilities of the Acquired Companies.

(b) Buyer shall prepare and provide to Seller within sixty (60) days after all adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6 have been completed in accordance with the terms thereof, a schedule (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”) allocating the amounts paid and the liabilities assumed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, adjusted as necessary to determine the purchase price of the Purchased Assets for federal income tax purposes (the “Tax Allocation Purchase Price”), among the Purchased Assets.

(c) The Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the general principles of Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations pursuant thereto or any successor provision. Unless Seller objects to Buyer’s allocation schedule within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, such schedule shall become final. If Seller objects to Buyer’s allocation within thirty (30) days of receipt, then the Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to agree, within thirty (30) days of Seller’s objection to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, to an allocation of the Tax Allocation Purchase Price among the Assets of the Acquired Companies that is consistent with the allocation methodology provided by Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Allocation”). In the event such mutual agreement cannot be achieved, Buyer shall engage a nationally-recognized accounting firm to serve as an independent valuation expert to determine the Allocation, the costs of which are to be shared equally among Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand. Once the Allocation becomes final, whether by virtue of Seller’s deemed acquiescence, by express mutual agreement of the Parties, or by determination of the independent valuation expert, the Parties agree that neither Buyer, Seller, nor any of their Affiliates shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such final Allocation. The Allocation shall be revised to take into account subsequent adjustments to the Tax Allocation Purchase Price, including any indemnification payments (which shall be treated for Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price), in accordance with the provisions of Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations pursuant thereto or any successor provision.

Buyer shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to have the Property surveyed and to conduct non-invasive physical inspections; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be entitled to collect any air, soil, surface water or ground water samples nor to perform any invasive or destructive sampling on the Property. Promptly upon completion of any such entry, Buyer shall repair any damage caused by such entry. Any disclosure to Buyer pursuant to the foregoing shall be subject to such disclosure (w) not violating any applicable Laws, (x) not resulting in the waiver of any attorney/client, work product, or similar privilege, (y) not being of confidential information concerning the activities of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) that is unrelated to the Acquired Companies, the Business of any Acquired Company, or the Projects, or (z) not being of proprietary models of Seller or any of its Affiliates pertaining to energy project evaluation, energy, natural gas, fuel oil or other fuel price curves or projections, or other economic predictive models.

(c) Buyer assumes any and all risks of Loss associated with or arising out of the access and other rights under this Section 6.2, and Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives for any and all liabilities or Losses incurred by Seller, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives, or by any of Buyer’s Representatives, for any injuries or property damage arising out of the access and other rights under this Section 6.2, caused by any of Buyer’s Representatives while present on the Property.

(d) In connection with Buyer’s and its Affiliates financing activities during the Interim Period, Seller shall, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Acquired

Companies, and its and their respective Representatives, to provide to Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, all cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer and that is customary in connection with such financing activities; provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 6.2(d) shall require any cooperation to the extent that it would unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of Seller or its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies, or otherwise impair, in any material respect, the ability of any Representative of Seller or the Acquired Companies to carry out their respective duties as such and (ii) none of Seller, its Affiliates or the Acquired Companies shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee for which it is not advanced funds or incur any other liability in connection with such financing activities.

All non-public information regarding Seller and its Affiliates provided to Buyer, its Affiliates or its Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.2(d) shall be kept confidential by them in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except for disclosure to potential lenders, investors, attorneys, accountants, rating agencies or their respective Representatives in connection with such financing activities subject, where applicable, to customary confidentiality provisions as approved in advance in writing by Seller (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates, to the extent arising out of or relating to (i) any action taken or cooperation provided by Seller or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 6.2(d) or in connection with such financing activities or (ii) any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided to Buyer in writing by Seller or the Companies). This Section 6.2(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.5 Support Obligations.

(a) With respect to the XXXX Guaranty, during the Interim Period, Seller and Buyer shall, and Buyer shall cause Buyer’s Affiliates to, use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to work together to procure the full and unconditional release, effective as of the Closing Date, of XXXX’x obligations under the XXXX Guaranty. For purposes of this subsection, Commercially Reasonable Efforts shall require (i) jointly approaching Xxxxxx Xxxxxx to discuss and negotiate alternative arrangements for satisfying Kinder Xxxxxx’x credit support requirements, and (ii) in support of any such alternative credit support arrangements, Buyer offering to replace the XXXX Guaranty with a substitute guarantee from Buyer or Buyer Parent Guarantor on terms acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx (provided that the maximum principal amount guaranteed may not be increased) and, if the foregoing is not accepted by Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Buyer or Buyer Parent Guarantor offering to deliver to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx

a letter of credit from a creditworthy United States bank acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx for the account of Buyer or Buyer Parent Guarantor as applicant in an amount (x) sufficient to cover the entire amount that may be payable under the XXXX Guaranty or (y) such lesser amount deemed sufficient by Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, and, if such offer is accepted by Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, providing such letter of credit to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx in connection with the Closing.

(b) If Buyer and Seller are not successful in obtaining the complete and unconditional release of XXXX from its obligations under the XXXX Guaranty prior to Closing as contemplated in Section 6.5(a), then Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall cause XXXX to keep in place the XXXX Guaranty, and Buyer shall deliver to Seller at the Closing, and shall keep in place, an irrevocable, standby letter of credit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and in an amount equal to the maximum amount of exposure under the XXXX Guaranty and issued by Citibank N.A. pursuant to Buyer Parent Guarantor’s debtor-in-possession credit agreement authorized by the DIP Order or another irrevocable, standby letter of credit on substantially similar terms from a creditworthy financial institution reasonably acceptable to Seller (the “Continuing Support Letter of Credit”); provided, however, that as a condition to the continuing maintenance of the XXXX Guaranty:

(i) From and after the Closing, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses that may be suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them become subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to the XXXX Guaranty being in effect on or after the Closing Date (including as a result of any draw or demand for or making of any payment by XXXX under the XXXX Guaranty) with respect to the full extent of the XXXX Guaranty. In furtherance, and not limitation, of the forgoing, if the XXXX Guaranty is drawn upon in accordance with its terms after the Closing Date, upon receipt of written notice thereof from Seller, Buyer shall pay Seller or its designee the amount so drawn upon in accordance with its terms within five (5) Business Days after the date of such written notice. If Buyer fails to pay Seller or its designee within such five (5) Business Day period, Seller may draw upon or otherwise enforce the terms of the Continuing Support Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms thereof;

(ii) from and after the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall continue to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the full and unconditional release of XXXX from its obligations under the XXXX Guaranty as contemplated by Section 6.5(a); and

(iii) Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Acquired Companies not to, effect any amendments or modifications or any other changes to the Contracts or obligations to which any of the obligations under the XXXX Guaranty relates to the extent such amendment or modification would increase the liability of XXXX under the XXXX Guaranty or extend the stated maturity of any obligation to which the XXXX Guaranty relates, without Seller’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion).

(c) If a Continuing Support Letter of Credit is provided pursuant to Section 6.5(b), at the expiration or termination of the XXXX Guaranty (such that it is no longer subject to restoration or reinstatement), Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer the Continuing Support Letter of Credit for cancellation.

Section 6.6 Excluded Items. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and Seller agree that the Purchased Assets shall exclude those items listed on Schedule 6.6 (the “Excluded Items”). Seller shall retain all benefits and liabilities with respect to the Excluded Items, and Seller shall, prior to the Closing Date, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Acquired Companies to distribute, transfer or assign each Excluded Item to Seller or a Non-Acquired Company Affiliate. Buyer acknowledges that the inability of Seller to have any Excluded Item distributed,

transferred or assigned from any Acquired Company for any reason shall not delay Closing and any Excluded Item that Seller is unable to so distribute, transfer or assign by the Closing shall be referred to as a “Non-Transferred Excluded Item.” As soon as is reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, at Seller’s cost and expense, the Parties will take such actions as are reasonably required to cause the transfer to Seller or a Non-Acquired Company Affiliate of the Non-Transferred Excluded Items, and the removal thereof from the sites of the Projects, if applicable. From and after the Closing, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) shall have no obligations with respect to the Non-Transferred Excluded Items, including any obligation to preserve or protect the Non-Transferred Excluded Items.

Section 6.7 Employee and Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) During the Interim Period, the Project Employees who are providing services directly relating to the Projects may, in Seller or Seller Affiliate’s sole discretion, continue in the same role following Closing as employees of Seller or a Seller Affiliate. Nothing in this Section 6.7 shall affect the right of Seller, or any Affiliate of Seller, to terminate the employment of any Project Employee for any reason or at any time. At all times prior to Closing, Seller, or an Affiliate of Seller, shall continue to have the exclusive right to control the Project Employees and make any and all employment decisions regarding Project Employees as it shall deem appropriate. Seller or its Affiliates shall be exclusively responsible for the payment of all wages, provision of all benefits and compliance with all applicable Laws with respect to the Project Employees until such Project Employees are no longer employed by Seller or its Affiliates.

(b) Except as expressly contemplated herein or in the O&M Agreement, from the Effective Date through the latter of a period of two (2) years from and after the O&M Expiration or the date of termination of this Agreement (pursuant to Section 9.1 if a Closing does not occur hereunder), Buyer agrees not to solicit for hire or employment or employ, and to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause Buyer Service Companies and their Affiliates not to solicit for hire or employment or employ, any Project Employee, without Seller’s prior written consent; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.7(b) shall not apply to any solicitation (or any hiring as a result of any solicitation) that consists of advertising in a newspaper or periodical of general circulation or through similar general circulation on the internet or otherwise not specifically directed toward any Project Employee.

Section 6.8 Termination of Certain Services, Excluded Contracts and Other Affiliate Transactions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and except as contemplated with respect to the Contracts listed on Part I of Schedule 6.8 (the “Existing Affiliate Contracts”) and as contemplated in the O&M Agreement, the Energy Management Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, prior to the Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Seller, as applicable, to (i) terminate, sever, or assign to Seller or a Non-Acquired Company Affiliate effective upon or before the Closing any services provided to any of the Acquired Companies by Seller or a Non-Acquired Company Affiliate, including the severance of the Acquired Companies from the insurance policies of the Non-Acquired Company Affiliates (including those policies referred in Section 6.10, in accordance with Section 6.10), Tax services, legal services and banking services (to include the severance of any centralized clearance accounts) in each case for periods prior to the Closing, (ii) (A) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to terminate or assign to Seller or a Non-Acquired Company Affiliate each Contract listed on Part II of Schedule 6.8 as specified therein and (B) terminate or assign all Contracts between any Acquired Company and Seller or any Non-Acquired Company Affiliate (collectively such Contracts described in this clause (ii), the “Excluded Contracts”), and (iii) release the applicable Acquired Company from any and all liability under the applicable Excluded Contract, in each case without any liability of any kind on the part of any Acquired Company arising from any such termination, severance,

assignment or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, prior to the Closing, any liability of an Acquired Company to Seller or a Non-Acquired Company Affiliate, or any receivable from an Acquired Company to Seller or a Non-Acquired Company Affiliate, shall be satisfied or otherwise eliminated in full.

Section 6.9 Spare Parts. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as may be permitted under the Project Financing Documents, prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the right to use Spare Parts in the ordinary course of business of the Acquired Companies or in connection with the activities of any Project, in each case consistent with past practice. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause the then current inventory of the Spare Parts to be owned by the Acquired Companies.

Section 6.10 Insurance. Seller shall maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect insurance coverage consistent with past practice for the Acquired Companies until the Closing. From and after the Closing, all such insurance coverage for the Acquired Companies and the Purchased Assets relating to periods subsequent to the Closing shall no longer be provided or maintained for any of the Acquired Companies or such Purchased Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies and the Purchased Assets will continue to be insured under any occurrence based third party liability policies under which they were insured prior to Closing for any claims which relate to events or circumstances prior to Closing, without regard to when such claim is reported to the Acquired Companies and Purchased Assets. Buyer shall be solely responsible for providing insurance to the Acquired Companies after the Closing. If any claims are actually made prior to the Closing Date under any liability insurance policy for any of the Acquired Companies, or if there are any matters reportable under any claims made liability insurance policy for events or circumstances relating to pre-Closing events which are known to Seller, then Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that the applicable Acquired Company can file, notice and otherwise continue to pursue such claims and recover proceeds under the terms of such policies, and Seller will promptly pay over to the applicable Acquired Company any proceeds of any insurance recovery under any such policy by Seller. If any casualty loss occurs prior to the Closing which is insured under any property or casualty insurance policy for any of the Acquired Companies and claims associated with such losses have been made prior to the Closing, then Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that the applicable Acquired Company can file, notice and otherwise continue to pursue such claims and recover proceeds under the terms of such policies and reasonably cooperate with the filing and pursuit of any such claim, and Seller will promptly pay over to the applicable Acquired Company any such proceeds of any insurance recovery under any such policy by Seller, other than any such proceeds that have been applied to repair or replace the property subject to such claim.

Section 6.11 Casualty. If any of the Purchased Assets are damaged or destroyed by casualty loss during the Interim Period, and the sum of (a) the cost of restoring such damaged or destroyed Purchased Assets to a condition reasonably comparable to their prior condition, and (b) the net present value (calculated using the Discount Rate) of the amounts of any lost net revenues reasonably expected to accrue after the Closing as a result of such damage or destruction to such Purchased Assets, (a) and (b) above as estimated by a qualified firm reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller (and with the costs of such firm being paid by Buyer and Seller in equal proportion), and such sum being net of and after giving effect to any insurance proceeds available to the Acquired Companies for such restoration and lost profits and any Tax benefits to the Acquired Companies related thereto (such sum, the “Restoration Cost” and the date of such estimation, the “Restoration Cost Estimation Date”), is greater than $15,000,000 but does not exceed $131,303,723, Seller may elect either (i) to restore, repair or replace such damaged or destroyed Purchased Assets to a condition reasonably comparable to their prior condition (any of the foregoing, a “Restoration,” and Seller’s election of a Restoration, the “Restoration Option”), or (ii) reduce the amount of the Purchase Price by such Restoration Cost. If Seller elects the Restoration Option, it shall notify Buyer of such election in writing, and Seller shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete, or cause to be completed, such Restoration prior to the Closing, and if the Restoration

can be completed on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Outside Date (the “Extended Outside Date”), the Closing Date shall be postponed for the amount of time reasonably necessary to complete such Restoration; provided, however, that if the Closing Date is so extended and such Restoration is not completed in full by the Extended Outside Date, the Closing shall occur on or before the Extended Outside Date and the Purchase Price will be reduced by the amount of the remaining Restoration Cost as of the Closing (as estimated by a qualified firm reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller); provided, further, that if Seller elects the Restoration Option, Buyer shall be entitled to waive Seller’s obligation to complete the Restoration at any time within twenty (20) days following Seller’s written notice to Buyer of such election by written notice to Seller and proceed to Closing upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII and Article VIII, in which case Seller shall pay the applicable insurance proceeds with respect to such casualty to Buyer promptly upon receipt and such casualty loss shall not affect the Closing. If Seller elects the Restoration Option or to reduce the Purchase Price, such casualty loss shall not affect the Closing. If Seller does not provide Buyer written notice of its election within forty-five (45) days after the applicable Restoration Cost Estimation Date (but in any event at least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date), Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days after the end of such forty-five (45) day period by written notice to Seller. If the Restoration Cost is in excess of $131,303,723, Seller may, by written notice to Buyer within forty-five (45) days after the applicable Restoration Cost Estimation Date (but in any event at least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date), elect to (i) reduce the Purchase Price by the estimated Restoration Cost or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in each case by providing written notice to Buyer; provided, however, that if Seller does not elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this sentence, then Buyer may elect, by written notice to Seller, to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by Buyer of Seller’s notice regarding its election. If the Restoration Cost is $15,000,000 or less, (A) Seller shall not be obligated to repair or replace the damaged or destroyed Purchased Assets (but shall be obligated to cooperate in the pursuit of any applicable insurance proceeds in accordance with Section 6.10), (B) there shall be no reduction in the amount of the Purchase Price, and (C) neither Buyer nor Seller shall have the right or option to terminate this Agreement and such casualty event shall not affect the Closing. Any cash insurance proceeds received by the Acquired Companies with respect to any casualty subject to this Section 6.11 shall be disregarded for purposes of any Aggregate Net Working Capital calculation hereunder.

Section 6.12 Condemnation. If any of the Purchased Assets are taken by condemnation during the Interim Period and the sum of (a) the value of such Purchased Assets in a condemnation proceeding and (b) to the extent not included in the preceding clause (a), the net present value (calculated using the Discount Rate) of the amounts of any lost net revenues reasonably expected to accrue after the Closing as a result of such condemnation of such Purchased Assets, (a) and (b) above as determined by a qualified firm reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller (and with the costs of such firm being paid by Buyer and Seller in equal proportion), and such sum being net of and after giving effect to any condemnation award proceeds to be paid to the Acquired Companies and any Tax benefits to the Acquired Companies related thereto (such sum, the “Condemnation Value” and the date of such estimation, the “Condemnation Value Estimation Date”), is greater than $15,000,000 but do not have a Condemnation Value in excess of $131,303,723, Seller may elect either (i) to replace the Purchased Assets that were taken by such condemnation with reasonably comparable Assets, or (ii) to reduce the Purchase Price by such Condemnation Value (less, to the extent not taken into account in calculating the Condemnation Value, the amount of any condemnation award proceeds to be paid to the Acquired Companies and any Tax benefits to the Acquired Companies related thereto). If Seller elects to replace the Purchased Assets or reduce the Purchase Price, such condemnation shall not affect the Closing. If Seller does not provide Buyer notice of its election within forty-five (45) days after the applicable Condemnation Value Estimation Date (but in any event at least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date), Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days after the end of such forty-five (45) day period by written notice to Seller. If the Condemnation Value is in excess of

$131,303,723, Seller may, by written notice to Buyer within forty-five (45) days after the applicable Condemnation Value Estimation Date (but in any event at least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date), elect to (a) reduce the Purchase Price by such Condemnation Value less, to the extent not taken into account in calculating the Condemnation Value, the amount of any condemnation award proceeds to be paid to the Acquired Companies and any Tax benefits to the Acquired Companies related thereto), or (b) terminate this Agreement, in each case by providing written notice to Buyer; provided, however, that if Seller does not elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this sentence, then Buyer may, by written notice to Seller, terminate this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by Buyer of Seller’s notice regarding its election. If the Condemnation Value is $15,000,000 or less, (A) Seller shall not have the obligation to replace the Purchased Assets (but shall be obligated to cooperate in the pursuit of any applicable condemnation proceeds), (B) there shall be no reduction in the amount of the Purchase Price, and (C) neither Buyer nor Seller shall have the right or option to terminate this Agreement and such condemnation shall not affect the Closing. Any condemnation proceeds received by the Acquired Companies with respect to any condemnation subject to this Section 6.12 shall be disregarded for purposes of any Aggregate Net Working Capital calculation hereunder.

Section 6.13 Transfer Taxes. Seller and Buyer shall each pay any Transfer Taxes imposed on it or any Acquired Company by Law as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but, notwithstanding any such requirement of Law, each of Seller and Buyer shall bear half of the total of all such Transfer Taxes. Accordingly, if either Party is required at Law to pay more than its half of any such Transfer Taxes, the other Party shall promptly reimburse such first Party for amounts in excess of such half. Seller and Buyer shall timely file their own Transfer Tax Returns as required by Law and shall notify the other Party when such filings have been made. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and consult with each other prior to filing such Transfer Tax Returns to ensure that all such returns are filed in a consistent manner. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall be solely responsible for any Transfer Taxes arising from any action to dissolve, terminate or restructure any Acquired Company or to convey, distribute or transfer any Assets or other rights by deed, xxxx of sale or otherwise to or from any Acquired Company on or after the Closing.

Section 6.14 Tax Matters. Except as provided in Section 6.13 relating to Transfer Taxes:

(a) With respect to any Tax Return covering a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Taxable Period”) that is required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to any Acquired Company, (i) Seller shall cause such Tax Return to be prepared and shall deliver such Tax Return as so prepared to Buyer not later than seven (7) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return, and (ii) Buyer shall cause such Tax Return to be executed and duly and timely filed with the appropriate Taxing Authority and shall, subject to Section 6.14(b), pay all Taxes due with respect to the period covered by such Tax return. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to income Tax Returns that report the income and deductions of any Acquired Company for a Pre-Closing Taxable Period but that are required to be filed by a Person that is a direct or indirect owner of such Acquired Company but that is not itself an Acquired Company; such income Tax Returns shall be filed by such Person and shall not be provided to Buyer. With respect to any Tax Return covering a taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Taxable Period”) that is required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to an Acquired Company, (A) Buyer shall cause such Tax Return to be prepared (in a manner consistent with practices followed in prior taxable periods, except as required by applicable Law or a change in Law) and shall deliver a draft of such Tax Return to Seller for Seller’s review and approval at least fourteen (14) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return, (B) Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and consult with each other in order to finalize such Tax Return, and (C) thereafter Buyer shall cause such Tax Return to be executed and duly and timely filed with the appropriate Taxing Authority and shall, subject to Section 6.14(b), pay all Taxes due with respect to the period covered by such Tax Return.

(b) As between Seller and Buyer, Seller shall be responsible for and indemnify Buyer against any Tax with respect to an Acquired Company that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or to that portion of a Straddle Taxable Period that ends on the Closing Date, in each case to the extent that such Tax exceeds the amount (if any) reflected as a current liability for such Tax pursuant to the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount computation in accordance with Section 2.6. Within five (5) days prior to the due date for the payment of any such Tax, if (i) the amount of such Tax for which Seller is responsible, exceeds (ii) the amount reflected as a current liability for such Tax in such Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such excess; if the amount described in clause (ii) exceeds the amount described in clause (i), Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of such excess. With respect to a Straddle Taxable Period, Seller shall determine the Tax attributable to the portion of the Straddle Taxable Period that ends on the Closing Date by an interim closing of the books of the relevant Acquired Company as of the Closing Date, except for ad valorem or property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) and franchise Taxes based solely on capital which shall be prorated on a daily basis to the Closing Date (such that the Property Taxes or franchise Taxes attributable to the pre-Closing portion of a Straddle Taxable Period shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for such entire Straddle Taxable Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Taxable Period that are in the Pre-Closing Taxable Period and the denominator of which is the actual number of days in the Straddle Taxable Period). For this purpose, any franchise Tax paid or payable not based solely on capital with respect to such Acquired Company shall be allocated to the taxable period for which the income, operations, Assets or capital comprising the base of such Tax is measured, regardless of whether the right to do business for another period is obtained by the payment of such Tax.

(c) Buyer shall be responsible for and indemnify Seller and its applicable Affiliates against, and Buyer shall be entitled to all refunds (including, but not limited to, property tax refunds) and credits of, all Taxes of any Acquired Company that are not the responsibility of Seller pursuant to Section 6.14(b).

(d) With respect to any Tax for which Seller is responsible, Seller shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to initiate any claim for refund and to control (in the case of a Pre-Closing Taxable Period) or participate in (in the case of a Straddle Taxable Period) the prosecution, settlement or compromise of any proceeding involving such Tax, including the determination of the value of property for purposes of real and personal property ad valorem Taxes; provided, however, that to the extent that any such claim or proceeding could reasonably be expected to have a post-Closing impact on Buyer or on any of the Acquired Companies (a) Buyer shall be entitled to participate in such proceeding and (b) Seller shall not initiate, settle or otherwise compromise such proceeding without Buyer’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Buyer shall (and shall cause the relevant Acquired Company to) take such action in connection with any such proceeding as Seller shall reasonably request from time to time to implement the preceding sentence, including the selection of counsel and experts and the execution of powers of attorney. Buyer shall (and shall cause the relevant Acquired Company to) give written notice to Seller of its receipt of any notice of any audit, examination, claim or assessment for any Tax for which Seller is responsible within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice; failure to give any such written notice within such ten (10) day period shall cause Buyer to forfeit any rights it may have by reason of Section 4.10 or this Section 6.14 to the extent Seller is actually prejudiced by such failure.

(e) Seller shall grant to Buyer (or its designees) access at all reasonable times to all of the information, books and records relating to the Acquired Companies within the possession of

Seller (including workpapers and correspondence with Taxing Authorities), and shall afford Buyer (or its designees) the right (at Buyer’s expense) to take extracts therefrom and to make copies thereof, to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Buyer (or its designees) to prepare Tax Returns, respond to Tax audits and investigations, prosecute Tax protests, appeals and refund claims and to conduct negotiations with Taxing Authorities. The previous sentence shall, under no circumstances, be construed to grant Buyer access to the consolidated United States federal income tax or any consolidated or unitary state Tax Returns which include Seller or any of its Affiliates for any taxable year. Buyer shall grant or cause the Acquired Companies to grant to Seller (or its designees) access at all reasonable times to all of the information, books and records relating to the Acquired Companies within the possession of Buyer (including workpapers and correspondence with Taxing Authorities) and to the employees of the Acquired Companies, and shall afford Seller (or its designees) the right (at Seller’s expense) to take extracts therefrom and to make copies thereof, to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Seller (or its designees) to prepare Tax Returns, respond to Tax audits and investigations, prosecute Tax protests, appeals and refund claims and to conduct negotiations with Taxing Authorities. After the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer will preserve all information, records or documents in their respective possessions relating to liabilities for Taxes of the Acquired Companies until six (6) months after the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations (including extensions thereof) with respect to the assessment of such Taxes.

(f) If after the Closing Buyer or any Acquired Company actually receives a refund of any Tax or utilizes a credit for any overpayment of any Tax of any Acquired Company for a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or that portion of a Straddle Taxable Period ending on the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after such receipt or utilization an amount equal to such refund received or credit utilized, together with any interest received or credited thereon to the extent that such refund or credit exceeds the amount (if any) reflected as a current asset for such refund or credit pursuant to the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount computation in accordance with Section 2.6. Buyer shall, and shall cause the relevant Acquired Company to, take such action to obtain a refund of any Tax or a credit for any overpayment of any Tax of such Acquired Company for a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or that portion of a Straddle Taxable Period ending on the Closing Date or to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any such Tax that could be imposed for a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or that portion of a Straddle Taxable Period ending on the Closing Date (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby) as is reasonably requested by Seller; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, that Buyer’s obligation to cooperate with Seller’s reasonable requests to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax for a Pre-Closing Taxable Period shall not be construed to require Buyer to carryback net operating losses or other tax attributes that arise following the Closing to a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or to take any other similar action that could have a negative impact on Buyer.

(g) In the event that Seller initiates a claim for refund from a Taxing Authority with regard to any Tax of any Acquired Company attributable to a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or that portion of a Straddle Taxable Period ending on the Closing Date, whether the initiation of such claim begins prior to or after the Closing, Seller shall have all rights to and interest in such refund. Buyer shall, upon request, provide Seller a limited power of attorney allowing Seller to pursue such claim for refund with and collect such refund from such Taxing Authority. If after the Closing Buyer or any Acquired Company receives a refund or utilizes a credit of any such Tax with regard to a claim so initiated by Seller, Buyer shall pay to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after such receipt or utilization an amount equal to such refund received or credit utilized, together with any interest received or credited thereon, less any expenses Buyer has incurred as a result of such action.

(h) In the event that Seller initiates a claim for refund from a third party who improperly withheld sales and use Tax, or withheld excessive sales and use Tax, with regard to an

Acquired Company attributable to a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or that portion of a Straddle Taxable Period ending on the Closing Date, whether the initiation of such claim begins prior to or after the Closing, Seller shall have all rights to and interest in such refund. Buyer shall, upon request, provide Seller a limited power of attorney allowing Seller to pursue such claim for refund with and collect such refund from such third party. If after the Closing, Buyer or an Acquired Company receives a refund of any such Tax with regard to a claim so initiated by Seller, Buyer shall pay to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after such receipt an amount equal to such refund received, together with any interest received or credited thereon, less any expenses Buyer has incurred as a result of such action.

(i) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written certificate, prepared and executed in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 1.1445-2(b), certifying that Seller (or owner of Seller if Seller is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes) is not a foreign person within the meaning of said Treasury Regulation.

(j) The Parties acknowledge that, since (i) the Acquired Companies, other than FPLE Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, are classified as disregarded from their owners for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) an election pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code shall be made with respect to the purchase and sale of the membership interests of FPLE Xxxxxx and Xxxxx (from a federal income tax perspective), the purchase and sale of the Interests is intended to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a purchase and sale of the Assets and liabilities of the Acquired Companies. Buyer, Seller, and their Affiliates shall (a) cooperate in the preparation and filing of (and shall properly execute and file) elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to the sale of the membership interests in each of FPLE Xxxxxx and Xxxxx (from a federal income tax perspective), and (b) take all such actions as are required in order to give effect to those elections for state and local Tax purposes to the greatest extent permitted by law. Neither Buyer, the Acquired Companies, nor any of their Affiliates shall make any election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the sale of the membership interests in each of FPLE Xxxxxx and Xxxxx (from a federal income tax perspective).

Section 6.15 Appointment of Primary Representatives. In order to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Party shall designate a primary Representative (each, a “Primary Representative”) to act as the primary point of contact to coordinate communications and other interaction between the Parties during the Interim Period. Either Party may designate a new Primary Representative by providing written notice to the other Party.

Section 6.16 Updating; Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of (a) the existence or occurrence, or failure to occur, of any fact or event of which it has knowledge that would be reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty of such Party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at any time from the Effective Date to the Closing assuming such representation or warranty is made at such time, (b) the failure of such Party to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant to be complied with by it hereunder, (c) any written notice or other written communication from any Person alleging that the consent or approval of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (d) any written notice or other written communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Seller may provide to Buyer changes or additions to any of the Schedules (a “Schedule Supplement”) solely to correct any matter that would otherwise constitute a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller in Article III or Article IV such that the closing condition in Section 7.1 cannot be satisfied. A Schedule Supplement shall only disclose facts or events

that first occurred or arose after the Effective Date. No such Schedule Supplement shall be deemed to cure any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement for purposes of Section 7.1 or otherwise alter the Parties’ rights under Section 9.1(b) unless Buyer specifically agrees thereto in writing; provided, however, that if the Closing shall occur despite the fact that Seller had provided Buyer, as contemplated above, a Schedule Supplement such that the closing condition in Section 7.1 could not be satisfied, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Article X) no matters disclosed by Seller prior to the Closing in the Schedule Supplement that constituted breaches of, or inaccuracies in, one or more representations or warranties of Seller in Article III or Article IV as of the Effective Date or as of the Closing Date shall be the basis for any indemnification by Seller pursuant to Section 10.1(a).

Section 6.17 Announcements. No press release or other public announcement, or public statement or comment in response to any inquiry, relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued or made by either Buyer or Seller, or any of their Affiliates or Representatives, without the consent of Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that a press release or other public announcement, regulatory filing, statement or comment made without such consent, including in furtherance of the requirements of Section 6.1, shall not be in violation of this Section 6.17 if it is made in order to comply with applicable Laws or stock exchange rules and in the reasonable judgment of the Party or Affiliate making such release or announcement, based upon advice of counsel, prior review and joint approval, despite reasonable efforts to obtain the same, would prevent dissemination of such release or announcement in a sufficiently timely fashion to comply with such applicable Laws or rules; provided, further, that in all instances Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall provide prompt notice of any such release, announcement, statement or comment to the other Party.

Section 6.18 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall (at its own cost and expense) at any time and from time to time, upon reasonable request, (a) do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further acts, transfers or assignments as may be required to consummate the transactions in accordance with the terms hereof and to cause to be fulfilled the closing conditions set forth in Article VII and Article VIII and (b) take such other actions as may be reasonably required in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement; provided that in no event shall any Party be required to take any action which (i) increases in any way the liability or obligations of such Party, (ii) in the opinion of its counsel, is unlawful or would or could constitute a violation of any applicable Law or require the approval of any Governmental Authority (other than a Buyer Approval, a Seller Approvals or a Company Consent) or (iii) could reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede, interfere with or delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.19 Reserved.

Section 6.20 Qualified Scheduling Entity. Buyer acknowledges that the Affiliate of Seller that serves as the Qualified Scheduling Entity with respect to the Projects is not one of the Acquired Companies and upon the occurrence of the Closing such Affiliate will continue to act as the Qualified Scheduling Entity with respect to the Projects, and that Buyer and the Acquired Companies shall be responsible for appointing and maintaining a Qualified Scheduling Entity with respect to the Projects after the Closing.

Section 6.21 Exclusivity.

(a) Seller agrees that during the Interim Period, Seller shall not, and shall take all action necessary to ensure that none of the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates or

Representatives shall, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or accept any other proposals or offers from any Person (A) relating to any direct acquisition or purchase of all or any portion of the equity or ownership interest of any of the Acquired Companies or Purchased Assets other than inventory to be sold in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (B) to enter into any merger, consolidation or other business combination with any of the Acquired Companies or (C) to enter into a recapitalization, reorganization or any other extraordinary business transaction directly involving any of the Acquired Companies; or

(b) Seller shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be required Seller to direct or otherwise cause any such Person to return or destroy information heretofore provided to such Person prior to the Closing.

Section 6.22 Additional Assets Contribution. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause its applicable Affiliates to contribute to one or more of the Acquired Companies good and valid title free and clear of all Encumbrances to each of the Additional Assets.

Section 6.23 Xxxxxx Rotor. Promptly following the Closing, Seller will make available for purchase by Buyer, under mutually agreeable terms and conditions, the compressor section of an upgraded combustion turbine rotor (a “Compressor Section”). If Buyer purchases a Compressor Section from Seller, Seller will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to procure the turbine section of an upgraded combustion turbine rotor (a “Turbine Section”) for Buyer under mutually agreeable terms and conditions, which terms and conditions the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith prior to the Closing. If Seller is unable to procure a Turbine Section, or the Parties are unable to agree on terms and conditions for the purchase and sale of a Turbine Section, then Seller will make its Affiliate’s spare rotor available for purchase to Buyer under mutually agreeable terms and conditions no earlier than January 1, 2017.

Section 6.24 Gas Supply Agreement. Promptly following the Effective Date, Seller and Buyer shall endeavor to negotiate in good faith a mutually agreeable gas supply agreement between NextEra Energy Power Marketing, LLC and FPLE Xxxxxx, LLC and a completion payment by Buyer or the Acquired Companies to Seller or an Affiliate of Seller with respect to the pipeline project to be constructed and owned in part by an Affiliate of Seller and connecting with the KM Facilities, with the amount of such payment and the terms and conditions upon which it would be made to be set forth in such gas supply agreement.

TERMINATION

Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, as follows:

(a) at any time before the Closing, (i) by Seller or Buyer, by written notice to the other, in the event that any Law or Order restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits or makes illegal the sale of the Interests pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) by Buyer, by written notice to Seller, if a Governmental Authority seeks to restrain, enjoin or otherwise prohibit or make illegal the sale of the Interests pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) at any time before the Closing, by Seller or Buyer, by written notice to the other, if the other has breached its obligations or there is an inaccuracy in its representations and warranties hereunder, where the effect of such breach or inaccuracy would be to cause the conditions to the obligation to consummate the Closing of the terminating Party not to be capable of being satisfied (assuming the Closing were otherwise to occur on the date the terminating Party delivers notice of termination), and such breach or inaccuracy (other than a breach of Buyer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of Article II), if capable of being cured, has not been cured within forty-five (45) days following written notification thereof; provided, however, that if, at the end of such forty-five (45) day period, the breaching Party is endeavoring in good faith, and proceeding diligently, to cure such breach or inaccuracy, the breaching Party shall have an additional thirty (30) days in which to effect such cure;

(c) at any time before the Closing, by Buyer or Seller, by written notice to the other, on or after the date that is two hundred seventy (270) days after the Effective Date, as the same

may be extended pursuant to Section 6.11 (the “Initial Outside Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available to a Party if such Party is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement; provided, further, that, subject to Section 9.5, if on the Initial Outside Date, the conditions set forth in either Section 7.5 or Section 8.5 are not satisfied but all of the other conditions to Closing are satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) and the conditions set forth in either Section 7.5 or Section 8.5, as the case may be, remain capable of being satisfied, then Buyer may, at its option exercisable by delivering written notice to Seller before the Initial Outside Date, extend the Initial Outside Date until the date that is 90 days after the Initial Outside Date (such date as it may be extended (the “Outside Date”));

(d) at any time before the Closing, by Seller, by written notice to Buyer, if all of the conditions to close set forth in Article VII and Article VIII have been satisfied (other than such closing conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing which are then capable of being satisfied) or waived in writing by the applicable Party and Buyer fails to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby at the Closing;

(e) by Buyer or Seller to the extent contemplated by Section 6.11 or Section 6.12, by notice to the other Party in accordance with such Sections; or

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

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, except as set forth in Section 9.3 and Section 9.4, there will be no liability or obligation on the part of Seller or Buyer (or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates), provided that (a) Section 6.2(c), Section 6.7(b), Section 6.17, Section 9.2, Section 9.3, Section 10.4, Section 10.6, Section 10.8, Section 11.1 and Article XII (to the extent applicable to such surviving sections) will survive any such termination and (b) each Party shall continue to be liable for any willful and intentional material breach of this Agreement by it occurring prior to such termination. For purposes of this Section 9.2, “willful and intentional material breach” shall mean a material breach or material default that is a consequence of an act knowingly undertaken by the breaching Party with the intent of causing a material breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.3 Break-up Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated (i) by Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(d) or (ii) by Seller or Buyer if all of the conditions to Closing, other than the conditions in Section 8.6(b), have been satisfied or are capable of being satisfied on the Closing Date and this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(f) as a result of Buyer failing to satisfy the conditions in Section 8.6(b), then, in any such case, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement Buyer shall pay Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three (3) Business Days following the date of termination, as liquidated damages, an amount of $131,303,723 (the “Break-up Fee”).

(b) As security for Buyer’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.3(a), Section 9.4(b) or Section 9.4(c), on the Effective Date, Buyer has provided the Break-up Fee Security in the amount equal to $131,303,723. If Buyer shall fail to pay to Seller when due the full amount of the Break-up Fee, Seller shall be entitled to draw from the Break-up Fee Security the unpaid portion of the Break-up Fee. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer the Break-up Fee Security for cancellation.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that Buyer is required to pay the Break-up Fee pursuant to Section 9.3(a) and Buyer pays the full Break-up Fee, payment of such fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and its Affiliates against Buyer and any of its former, current and future Affiliates, representatives, shareholders, members, managers, partners, successors and assigns for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred as a result of or under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including the failure of the Closing to occur, and Buyer shall have no further liability or obligation to Seller or its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to be have been made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and in such event, Seller shall not bring or permit any of its Affiliates to bring any action, suit or other proceeding to seek to recover any money damages or obtain any equitable relief from Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection therewith.

(d) The provision for payment of liquidated damages in this Section 9.3 has been included because, in the event of the termination of this Agreement as described in Section 9.3(a), the actual damages to be incurred by Seller can reasonably be expected to approximate the Break-up Fee and because the actual amount of such damages would be difficult if not impossible to measure accurately. The Parties further expressly acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages, in the event of Seller’s termination of this Agreement in the manner contemplated in Section 9.3(a) and as compensation for all of Seller’s losses and other expenses associated with this Agreement. In addition, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event Buyer shall fail to pay the Break-up Fee specified in this Section 9.3 when due, and Seller (or Buyer) commences a proceeding which results in a judgment or similar award against Buyer for the Break-up Fee, then Buyer shall also pay to Seller its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of enforcement) in connection with such proceeding.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, but subject to Section 10.8(a), in no event shall (i) Buyer’s aggregate liability arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether relating to breach of a representation or warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation in this Agreement and whether based in tort, contract, strict liability or other Laws or otherwise, exceed the amount of the Break-up Fee or (ii) Seller be entitled to collect both the Break-up Fee and the Regulatory Break-up Fee.

Section 9.4 Regulatory Break-up Fee.

(a) If (i) either Buyer or Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (if, and only if, the applicable Order giving rise to such termination arises solely in connection with the Seller Approvals from a Governmental Authority set forth as #1 on Schedule 3.3, and Buyer Approvals from a Governmental Authority set forth as #1 and #2 on Schedule 5.3 (collectively, the “Regulatory Approvals”), or (ii) either Buyer or Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c) and, at the time of such termination, any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.4, Section 7.5, Section 8.4 or Section 8.5 or shall have not been satisfied and such failure to be satisfied arises solely in connection with the Regulatory Approvals, and, at the time of such termination, all other conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VII and Article VIII shall have been satisfied or waived or are capable of being satisfied, Buyer shall pay to Seller a fee of $98,477,792 (the “Regulatory Break-up Fee”).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.4(a), in the case of the termination of this Agreement as described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.4(a), the amount of the Regulatory Break-up Fee shall be $131,303,723 if the applicable Order includes Burdensome Conditions requiring, or the

Governmental Authority shall have required Burdensome Conditions as a condition to the granting of the applicable Regulatory Approval, the taking by Buyer or its Affiliates or the Acquired Companies of such efforts or action, individually or in the aggregate, that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (measured on a scale relative to a company the size of the Company), without giving effect to the exclusions set forth in clauses (g) or (h) of the definition of “Material Adverse Effect”.

(c) If Buyer shall fail to pay to Seller when due the full amount of the Regulatory Break-up Fee, Seller shall be entitled to draw from the Break-up Fee Security the unpaid portion of the Regulatory Break-up Fee.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that Buyer is required to pay the Regulatory Break-up Fee pursuant to Section 9.4(a) or Section 9.4(b) and Buyer pays the full Regulatory Break-up Fee, payment of such fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and its Affiliates against Buyer and any of its former, current and future Affiliates, representatives, shareholders, members, managers, partners, successors and assigns for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred as a result of or under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including the failure of the Closing to occur, and Buyer shall have no further liability or obligation to Seller or its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to be have been made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and in such event, Seller shall not bring or permit any of its Affiliates to bring any action, suit or other proceeding to seek to recover any money damages or obtain any equitable relief from Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection therewith.

(e) The provision for payment of liquidated damages in this Section 9.4 has been included because, in the event of the termination of this Agreement as described in Section 9.4, the actual damages to be incurred by Seller can reasonably be expected to approximate the Regulatory Break-up Fee and because the actual amount of such damages would be difficult if not impossible to measure accurately. The Parties further expressly acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages in this Section 9.4 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages, in the event of Seller’s termination of this Agreement in the manner contemplated in Section 9.4(a) and Section 9.4(b) and as compensation for all of Seller’s losses and other expenses associated with this Agreement. In addition, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event Buyer shall fail to pay the Regulatory Break-up Fee specified in Section 9.4(a) or Section 9.4(b) when due, and Seller (or Buyer) commences a proceeding which results in a judgment or similar award against Buyer for the Regulatory Break-up Fee, then Buyer shall also pay to Seller its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of enforcement) in connection with such proceeding.

Section 9.5 Extension of Break-up Fee Security. As a condition to Buyer’s ability to exercise its right to extend the Initial Outside Date pursuant to Section 9.1(c), the termination date of the Break-up Fee Security must be no earlier than three months following the Outside Date.

Section 10.8 Remedies; Waiver of Remedies.

(a) The Parties agree that damages at Law shall be an inadequate remedy for the breach of any of the covenants, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement by Buyer or Seller, and, accordingly, the Parties shall be entitled to injunctive relief with respect to any such breach, including specific performance of such covenants, promises or agreements or an order enjoining such other party from any threatened, or from the continuation of any actual, breach of the covenants, promises or agreements contained in this Agreement, all without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting bond.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Representative or Affiliate of Seller (other than XXXX pursuant to the Seller Parent Guaranty) shall have any personal liability (whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) to Buyer or any other Person as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of Seller in this Agreement, and no Representative or Affiliate of Buyer (other than Buyer Parent Guarantor pursuant to the Buyer Parent Guaranty) shall have any personal liability (whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) to Seller or any other Person as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement.

Section 10.9 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that (i) a Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) becomes aware of the existence of any claim in respect of which payment may be sought under this Article X (an “Indemnification Claim”), or (ii) any legal proceedings shall be instituted, or any claim shall be asserted, by any Person not party to this Agreement in respect of an Indemnification Claim (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to be delivered to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”); provided that, so long as such notice is given within the applicable time period described in Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(a)(ii), no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving any such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay. Each Claim Notice shall be in writing and (A) shall specify the basis for indemnification claimed by the Indemnified Party, (B) if such Claim Notice is being given with respect to a Third Party Claim, shall describe in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim and shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant pleadings, demands and other papers served on the Indemnified Party, and (C) shall specify the amount of (or if not finally determined, a good faith estimate of) the Losses being incurred by, or imposed upon, the Indemnified Party on account of the basis for the claim for indemnification.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise handle any Indemnification Claim and if the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise handle any Indemnification Claim, it shall within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of

the underlying Third Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires) (the “Dispute Period”) notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal action or proceeding or (ii) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party (any Indemnification Claim the defense of which is assumable by an Indemnifying Party hereunder, an “Assumable Claim”). If the Indemnifying Party does not elect within the Dispute Period to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise handle any Assumable Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise handle such Assumable Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle with or otherwise handle any Assumable Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Assumable Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate, or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Assumable Claim. Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, agree to cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Assumable Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.9 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Assumable Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment (each a “Settlement”) unless (A) the claimant and such Indemnifying Party provide to such Indemnified Party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Assumable Claim, (B) such Settlement does not impose any liabilities or obligations on the Indemnified Party, and (C) with respect to any non-monetary provision of such Settlement, such provisions would not, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, have or be reasonably expected to have any material adverse effect on the business, Assets, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of the Indemnified Party.

(c) After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a Settlement or arbitration shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party shall make prompt payment thereof pursuant to the terms of the agreement reached with respect to the Indemnification Claim.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake within the Dispute Period to defend against an Assumable Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in any such defense at its sole cost and expense, but, in such case, the Indemnified Party shall control the investigation and defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Section 10.9(d) to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall not effect a Settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) In the event that an Indemnified Party has delivered a Claim Notice in respect of an Indemnification Claim that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disputes with respect to such Claim Notice within forty-five (45) days of the delivery by the Indemnifying Party thereof, and if not resolved in such forty-five (45) day period, such Indemnification Claim may be resolved through judicial actions, suits or proceedings brought by either such party or by such other means as such parties mutually agree.

Section 10.10 Access to Information. After the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall grant each other (or their respective designees), and Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to grant to Seller (or its designees), access at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice to all of the information, books and records relating to the Acquired Companies in its possession, and shall afford such party the right (at such party’s expense) to take extracts therefrom and to make copies thereof, to the extent reasonably necessary to implement the provisions of, or to investigate or defend any claims between the Parties arising under, this Agreement other than (a) information relating to post-Closing periods that is commercially sensitive, trade secret or otherwise confidential or (b) in the case of claims between the Parties, any information that is subject to any attorney-client, work product or other privilege or that otherwise would not be required to be provided pursuant to a subpoena or other civil discovery procedure. At or promptly after the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer all books, records, correspondence, files, and other information of or relating to the Acquired Companies or their properties, business, operations or condition (other than any of the foregoing items that relate to Excluded Contracts and Excluded Items) to the extent such information is not in the custody or possession of the Acquired Companies on the Closing Date other than (i) information relating to pre-Closing periods in respect of any Non-Acquired Company Affiliate that is commercially sensitive, trade secret or otherwise confidential or (ii) in the case of claims between the Parties, any information that is subject to any attorney client, work product or other privilege or that otherwise would not be required to be provided pursuant to a subpoena or other civil discovery procedure.

Notes:

(a)

Represents excess cash available to fund future operating needs or required principal and interest payments. Such excess cash is typically swept to parent and replaced with a cash management guarantee. There will be no amounts outstanding under the cash management guarantee at closing, as any amounts previously drawn on the guarantee shall be returned in cash prior to closing. For the avoidance of doubt, any such cash management guarantee or other guarantee shall not be deemed “cash and cash equivalents” for any such accounts and the applicable amounts in such accounts shall only be deemed “cash and cash equivalents” for the calculation of “Current Assets” if deposited in cash prior to the closing.

(b)	Represents cash available in the Bank of America operating account (net of any outstanding checks) to cover next month’s estimated O&M cash disbursements. This account is funded on a monthly basis from cash available in the Project Revenues Collection Account.

(c)	Represents cash that may be transferred to the Project Revenues Collection Account at any time.

(d)

Represents estimated cash required to fund the next 12 months of Major Maintenance Expenditures, as defined in the Credit Agreement. This account is replenished on a quarterly basis, and any cash not required to pay for next month’s major maintenance expenditures is typically swept to parent and replaced with a major maintenance reserve guarantee. There will be no amounts outstanding under the major maintenance reserve guarantee at closing, as any amounts previously drawn on the guarantee shall be returned in cash prior to closing.

(e)

Represents cash required to cover the next two estimated quarterly minimum principal and interest payments as of each Debt Service and Reserve Funding Date, as defined in the Credit Agreement. This amount is adjusted on a quarterly basis with funds transferred to or from the Project Revenues Collection Account and is in the form of a debt service reserve guarantee. There will be no amounts outstanding under the debt service reserve guarantee at closing, as the Debt Service Reserve Account will be funded with cash prior to closing.

(f)	Primarily represents estimated receivables for monthly settlements due from hedge counterparty and daily energy settlements due from ERCOT that will be collected in the following month.

(g)

Primarily consists of amounts due from NextEra Energy Power Marketing, LLC (“NEPM”) for monthly energy sales based on the day-ahead index pricing. Such sales and receivables are not forecasted, but any actual amounts will be assumed to be collected upon closing and excluded from working capital (removed from Buyer’s opening trial balance).

(h)	Consists of all spare parts included on Exhibit K.

(i)

Property and casualty insurance premiums are paid by parent and allocated down to the various benefitted entities, including La Frontera. These insurance policies are non-transferable, so any related prepaid amounts do not benefit the Buyer and have been excluded from working capital (removed from Buyer’s opening trial balance).

C-3

(j)	Consists of prepaid administrative and rating agency fees paid annually in connection with the financing.

(k)	Derivative and income tax assets and liabilities are excluded from working capital (removed from Buyer’s opening trial balance).

(l)	This amount is intended to cover all third party trade payables, including accrued expenses for any invoices received on or after the closing date for costs incurred prior to the closing date (excluding other current liabilities specifically identified herein).

(m)

Primarily consists of amounts due to 1) NEPM for estimated fuel purchases for the current month and 2) other related parties for estimated payroll and other operating costs for the current month, including accrued payroll taxes and incentives for 2015. Amount is assumed to be paid to related parties upon closing and excluded from working capital (removed from Buyer’s opening trial balance).

(n)	Consists of the estimated property tax assessments for the 2015 calendar year that are paid in arrears (tax bills due in January 2016).

(o)	Consists of estimated 2015 audit fees in connection with financing requirement. Parent will pay all such audit fees directly on behalf of La Frontera, so this amount has been excluded from working capital (removed from Buyer’s opening trial balance).

(p)

Consists of interest on the outstanding principal balance of the debt for 1 day (12/31/15) that is not included in the minimum principal and interest payment scheduled to be made on 12/31/15. Daily interest in the same amount will continue to be accrued after 12/31/15 until closing on or before 3/31/16.

(q)	All outstanding principal balances associated with long-term debt obligations are excluded from working capital.

(r)

Consists of Adjustments to balance sheet to provide a normalized amount of working capital based on LTM average amounts plus growth based on financial projections provided. For the avoidance of doubt the $34,000,000 normalization Adjustment to Net Working Capital in Table I is included Aggregate Target Net Working Capital Amount only, and will not be added to Proposed Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount or the Final Aggregate Net Working Capital Amount.
