(ii) solely to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable Non-Transferable Asset and applicable Law, the Remaining Seller Group shall operate such Non-Transferable Asset in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice on Buyer’s behalf and at Buyer’s lawful and reasonable direction and use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in any lawful and commercially reasonable pass-through arrangement under which Buyer shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of any Third Party (including a Governmental Authority) or violating any Law), for no additional consideration, the same economic rights and benefits, and shall assume and bear the same economic burden, of such Non-Transferable Asset as if such Non-Transferable Asset had been assigned to Buyer as of Closing; and

(iii) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, any of its Affiliates and any of its or their respective Representatives from and against any and all Liability arising out of or relating to any Non-Transferable Asset that is held by the Remaining Seller Group for the benefit of Buyer following the Closing, except for any Liabilities incurred as a result of fraud or willful misconduct or failure of any member of the Remaining Seller Group to comply with this Section 2.4.

Once Consent for the transfer or assignment of a Non-Transferable Asset is obtained from the applicable Third Party or clearance under applicable Law is received, Seller shall as promptly as practicable transfer and assign or cause the transfer and assignment of such Non-Transferable Asset (including all rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder) to Buyer without payment of any further consideration and Buyer, without the payment of any further consideration, shall assume such Non-Transferable Asset (including all rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder).

(c) Non-Transferable Projects. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.4(a) or Section 2.4(b), the Parties have identified certain Projects (i) with power purchase agreements, interconnection agreements, other Contracts, or other rights, such as land-use rights, or other assets, or subject to financing arrangements or Tax Equity Transactions, that upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the Consent of a Third Party (including a Governmental Authority) would constitute a breach, default or violation of the terms of such Contract, right, asset, arrangement or transaction or applicable Law or (ii) that are subject to purchase or similar options which may be waived with Consent and which options become exercisable as a result of the Parties entering into this Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any such Project is herein referred to as a “Non-Transferable Project”, any such Consent (including the waiver of any purchase or similar option) is herein referred to as a “Required Project Consent” and any Company Entity owning any such Project (or acting as a pledgor under such financing arrangements or a sponsor member under such Tax Equity Transactions) is herein referred to as “Deferred Project SPV”). Any Project that is not a Non-Transferable Project as well as any Non-Transferable Project for which the Required Project

25

Consent has been obtained is herein referred to as a “Transferable Project”. The Non-Transferable Projects, the Required Project Consents and the Deferred Project SPVs identified by Seller as of the date hereof are set forth in Section 2.4 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. The Parties, acting reasonably, shall update Section 2.4 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule from time to time in the event any Non-Transferable Projects, Required Project Consents or Deferred Project SPVs have been inadvertently omitted; provided that Seller shall procure that, following the execution of this Agreement, no Contracts are entered into that would make any Project a Non-Transferable Project without Buyer’s prior written approval, unless all related Required Project Consent(s) are obtained at the same time.

(d) Cooperation and No Further Condition to Closing. Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain all Required Project Consents prior to the Closing Date. The Parties agree that no Required Project Consent shall be a condition to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall provide such cooperation (including by attending any reasonably required meetings with counterparties) in obtaining Required Projects Consents as Seller may reasonably require. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates be required to make any payment, incur any Liability, commence any litigation or make any concession to obtain any Required Project Consent.

(e) Retention of Deferred Projects. If on the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (x) any Required Project Consent in respect of a Non-Transferable Project has not been obtained and (y) Buyer has not notified Seller in writing that the Non-Transferable Project shall nevertheless transfer, such Non-Transferable Project shall be treated as a “Deferred Project” as follows if the SPV Carve-Out (as hereinafter defined) is permissible by the terms of the assets, Contracts, financing arrangements and Tax Equity Transactions applicable to such Non-Transferable Project and applicable Law:

(i) the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the sum of the Allocated Value of all Deferred Projects;

(ii) the Target Working Capital shall be reduced by the sum of the Allocated Target Working Capital of all Deferred Projects;

(iii) any Cash, Indebtedness and Adjusted Working Capital of any Deferred Projects on the Effective Date shall not be factored into the Adjustment Amount; and

(iv) no later than the Closing Date (with economic effect as of the Effective Date), (i) all Interests in the Deferred Project SPVs shall be transferred to a member of the Remaining Seller Group, or (ii) if no such Deferred Project SPV exists in respect of such Non-Transferable Project, all assets and Contracts associated with such Non-Transferable Project shall be transferred to a newly formed company held by a member of the Remaining Seller Group (“NewCo”) that is treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. Federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes and such NewCo following such transfer shall be treated as a Deferred Project SPV for the purposes of this Agreement (such transfer pursuant to (i) or (ii) the “SPV Carve-Out”).

26

In the event that the SPV Carve-Out is not permissible by the terms of the assets, Contracts, financing arrangements and Tax Equity Transactions applicable to such Non-Transferable Project and applicable Law, Seller shall be entitled to decide in Seller’s reasonable discretion (taking into account any adverse impact on Buyer) to perform the SPV Carve-Out in respect of such Deferred Project, provided that Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company Entities and their Affiliates against any liability resulting from any breach of the terms of the assets, Contracts, financing arrangements and Tax Equity Transactions applicable to such Non-Transferable Project or applicable Law by the SPV Carve-Out.

(f) Deferred Project Adjustment Amount. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Deferred Project Adjustment Amount” (which may be positive or negative) means, with respect to any Deferred Project, (i) the Cash of such Deferred Project on the Effective Date, minus (ii) the Indebtedness of such Deferred Project on the Effective Date, plus (iii) the Adjusted Working Capital of such Deferred Project on the Effective Date, minus (iv) the Allocated Target Working Capital of such Deferred Project. Any Deferred Project Adjustment Amount shall be derived from the Closing Date Balance Sheet together with the Adjustment Amount and be determined in accordance with Section 2.5 applied mutatis mutandis.

(g) Post-Closing Co-operation. The Parties shall, for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date (“Co-Operation Phase”) (or the earlier expiration of the Contract requiring such Required Project Consent in respect of such Deferred Project in accordance with its terms (without any extensions or renewals thereof by Seller)), use reasonable best efforts to obtain any Required Project Consent of the applicable Third Party.

(h) Ring-Fencing. Between the Effective Date and the earlier of (i) the end of the Co-Operation Phase and (ii) the Deferred Closing Date, Seller shall procure that (A) the applicable Deferred Project and Deferred Project SPV are operated for no additional consideration in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (B) no action described in Section 6.1(b)(xvi) is taken with respect to the applicable Deferred Project and Deferred Project SPV, including, for the avoidance of doubt, making any election to treat any Deferred Project SPV as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. Federal (or applicable state and local) income Tax purposes, (C) for all Tax purposes, all Tax Returns and other Tax reporting of Seller and its Affiliates (including any Deferred Project SPV) with respect to the applicable Deferred Project and Deferred Project SPV are prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and (D) no Project Related Leakage either occurs or has been agreed (irrespective of the agreement being entered into prior to, on or after the Effective Date) and falls due after the Deferred Closing Date.

(i) With respect to any Deferred Project SPV, “Project Related Leakage” shall mean any payment or transfer of cash or assets by such Deferred Project SPV to, or for the benefit of, any member of the Remaining Seller Group (which shall include for the purpose of this Section 2.4 all other Deferred Project SPVs) such as (i) any declaration of any interim or other dividend or similar distribution (whether in cash or in kind); (ii) any return of share capital (whether

27

by reduction of share capital or redemption or purchase of shares); (iii) any payment or assumption of, or any granting of guarantees or securities for, any liabilities owed by a member of the Remaining Seller Group vis-à-vis third parties; (iv) any waiver, forgiveness or release of a claim against any member of the Remaining Seller Group under any Affiliate Contract that has not been terminated prior to the Closing Date, (v) any lending or borrowing between a Deferred Project SPV and any member of the Remaining Seller Group, and any increase or reduction thereof other than the provision of funds required for the operations of such Deferred Project SPV, (vi) any payment or transfer of assets or rendering of services to, or for the benefit of, any member of the Remaining Seller Group; (vii) any external advisory, management, transaction or other professional services charges or fees owed by such Deferred Project SPV for services rendered to any member of the Remaining Seller Group or in connection with the preparation, negotiation or conclusion of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including in this Section 2.4; and (viii) any agreement to do any of the foregoing; in each case except to the extent (1) pursuant to the asset management agreement entered into pursuant to Section 2.4(k), or (2) approved by Buyer in writing.

(i) Transfer of Deferred Project. If during the Co-Operation Phase, in respect of any Deferred Project, (i) the Required Project Consent(s) are obtained, (ii) the power purchase agreement or other agreement triggering the Required Project Consent(s) requirement in respect of such Deferred Project expire in accordance with their respective terms (without any extensions or renewals thereof by Seller) or (iii) Buyer requests the transfer of the Deferred Project from Seller in writing (“Deferred Transfer Trigger”), all Interests in the applicable Deferred Project SPV(s) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable NewCos) shall be transferred to Buyer, the Company or any other Affiliate of Buyer, as designated by Buyer (each such transfer a “Deferred Closing”). Subject to the following sentence, any Deferred Closing shall occur on the first Business Day of the first calendar quarter that begins following expiry of ten (10) Business Days following the respective Deferred Transfer Trigger. Any Deferred Closings due for the first Business Day of any calendar quarter shall be deferred to the first Business Day of the subsequent calendar quarter(s) if the aggregate transferred generation capacity to be transferred in such Deferred Closings would be below 50 megawatts, provided that any Deferred Closings remaining thus deferred shall occur on the first Business Day of the first calendar quarter that begins following expiry of the Co-Operation Phase. The date of transfer of the Deferred Project SPV in accordance with the foregoing is herein referred to as the “Deferred Closing Date”. On the Deferred Closing Date, in exchange for the transfer of the Interests in the Deferred Project SPV, Buyer shall pay to Seller a purchase price equal to the result of (i) the Allocated Value of the applicable Deferred Project, (ii) plus the Deferred Project Adjustment Amount of such Deferred Project, (iii) minus any Project Related Leakage in respect of such Deferred Project and (iv) plus any equity-funded capital expenditures required for the operation of such Deferred Project made by Seller in respect of such Deferred Project in the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Deferred Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement (such result, the “Deferred Project Purchase Price” in respect of the applicable Deferred Project). In addition to the Deferred Project Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay interest to Seller at a rate per annum (calculated daily on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days and the actual number of days elapsed)

28

equal to the rate then-payable on U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of three months on such date on the Deferred Project Purchase Price for the time between the Closing Date (exclusive) and the Deferred Closing Date (exclusive), provided that any interest on clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Deferred Project Purchase Price shall only apply from the date of the respective Project Related Leakage or equity-funded expenditure, as applicable. The closing deliverables in Sections 2.3(i) through (iv) and (vi) shall be required for any Deferred Closing, mutatis mutandis. Upon any Deferred Closing, the Parties intend to be in the position they would have been in if the applicable Deferred Project SPV had been transferred at the Closing (for the avoidance of doubt, with commercial effect as of the Effective Date).

(j) Failure to Obtain Consent. The Interests in any Deferred Project SPV for which no Deferred Transfer Trigger occurs during the Co-Operation Phase shall be retained by Seller and no purchase price shall become payable by Buyer in respect thereof.

(k) Management of Deferred Projects. As of the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall enter into an asset management agreement governing the operation of any Deferred Projects retained by Seller, whether temporarily during the Co-Operation Phase or permanently, by Buyer as service provider in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller for a period not exceeding five (5) years following the Closing Date. The management fee under the asset management agreement shall amount to $[    ] per megawatts per annum (p.a.), adjusted for inflation in accordance with Producer Price Index (PPI). The other terms of the asset management agreement shall be substantially consistent with the Transition Services Agreement, including in respect of cost reimbursement for operational maintenance and other services.

(l) Failure of SPV Carve-Out. In the event that an SPV Carve-Out is not permissible by the terms of the assets, Contracts, financing arrangements and Tax Equity Transactions applicable to such Non-Transferable Project and applicable Law and such SPV Carve-Out is not performed, such Deferred Project shall transfer as part of Closing and, if the market value of such Deferred Project as at the Effective Date (taking into account the effect of the lacking Consent) is lower than the Allocated Value of such Deferred Project, the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the difference between the Allocated Value and the market value of such Deferred Project.

(m) Portfolio Level Financing. If one or more Projects subject to portfolio-level financing or a portfolio-level Tax Equity Transaction are Transferable Projects and one or more Projects subject to the same portfolio-level financing or portfolio-level Tax Equity Transaction are and remain Non-Transferable Projects, or such portfolio-level financing or portfolio-level Tax Equity Transaction is a Non-Transferable Asset, but the SPV Carve-Out of the applicable Deferred Project SPVs would violate the terms of the applicable financing arrangements or Tax Equity Transactions without the Consent of the lender(s) or investor(s) party thereto, Section 2.4(d) shall apply mutatis mutandis and, if on the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, any such Consent has not been obtained, all Projects subject to the applicable portfolio-level financing or portfolio-level Tax Equity Transaction, together with the applicable financing and the applicable borrowing and pledgor entities or tax equity company and sponsor member entity, as applicable, shall be treated as Deferred Projects and Deferred Project SPVs, as applicable, with Section 2.4(c) et seq. applying mutatis mutandis.

29

Section 2.5 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Estimated Adjustment Certificate. Seller shall deliver the Estimated Adjustment Certificate to Buyer no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Closing Date Balance Sheet. As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date but in no event later than ninety (90) Business Days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, the consolidated balance sheet (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the month that is immediately prior to Closing (the “Effective Date”).

(i) The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and Policies.

(ii) Buyer shall deliver the Closing Date Balance Sheet to PricewaterhouseCoopers (the “Auditor”) for audit pursuant to AICPA AU-C Section 805. The Auditor shall be engaged by Seller and Buyer. Each Party shall bear fifty per cent (50%) of the fees and expenses charged by the Auditor. Buyer shall instruct the Auditor to deliver a copy of the Closing Date Balance Sheet to Seller and Buyer within five (5) Business Days after the audit has been completed. The Parties acknowledge that the Auditor may request the acceptance by Seller and Buyer of a customary release letter before the report on the audit of the Closing Date Balance Sheet is released by the Auditor.

(c) Closing Adjustment Certificate. Within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet by the Auditor to both Parties, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller the Closing Adjustment Certificate (excluding the Closing Date Balance Sheet which shall have been delivered to Seller by the Auditor); provided, that if Buyer fails to deliver the Closing Adjustment Certificate within such time period, Seller notifies Buyer in writing of such failure and Buyer does not deliver the Closing Adjustment Certificate within thirty (30) calendar days following such notice, then the Estimated Adjustment Certificate shall be deemed to be the Closing Adjustment Certificate. Following the delivery of the Closing Adjustment Certificate, up to and until the Final Settlement Date, Buyer shall (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters) cause the Company Entities to provide Seller and its Representatives reasonable access to relevant records and personnel of the Company Entities relating to the preparation of the Closing Adjustment Certificate, and shall cause the relevant knowledgeable personnel of the Company Entities to reasonably cooperate with Seller, in each case solely to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Seller to review the Closing Adjustment Certificate.

(d) Notice of Disagreement. The Closing Adjustment Certificate shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the earlier of the date that is (i) sixty (60) days after receipt of the Closing Adjustment Certificate by Seller and (ii) ten (10) days after the expiration of the 30 (thirty)-calendar day time period specified in Section 2.5(c) in the event Buyer does not deliver a

30

Closing Adjustment Certificate within such time period (the “Final Settlement Date”) unless but only to the extent Seller gives written notice of its disagreement (“Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the dollar amount, nature and basis of any such disagreement. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Buyer, then the Closing Adjustment Certificate (as revised in accordance with (e) below, if applicable) shall become final and binding on the Parties on, and the Final Settlement Date shall be, the earlier of (i) the date upon which Seller and Buyer agree in writing with respect to all matters specified in the Closing Adjustment Certificate and (ii) the date upon which the Final Adjustment Certificate is issued by the Independent Accounting Firm.

(e) Final Adjustment Certificate. In the event the Notice of Disagreement is timely provided by Seller, during the first twenty (20) Business Days thereafter, the Parties shall attempt to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to all matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If at the end of such twenty (20)-Business Day period (or earlier by mutual agreement) the Parties have not reached agreement with respect to all matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, the matters that remain in dispute at any time within thirty (30) days thereafter (or such date as mutually agreed) shall be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm by either Seller or Buyer for review and resolution; provided, however, that all materials so provided to the Independent Accounting Firm shall also simultaneously be made available to the other Party. The Parties shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to schedule a hearing as soon as reasonably practicable, and such hearing shall be conducted on a confidential basis. Seller and Buyer shall, not later than seven (7) days prior to the hearing date set by the Independent Accounting Firm, submit a brief (to include their respective calculations with regard to amounts in dispute on the Closing Adjustment Certificate) for settlement of any amounts set forth in the Notice of Disagreement that remain in dispute. The Parties shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to render a decision (which decision shall include a written statement of findings and conclusions, including a written explanation of its reasoning with respect to such findings and conclusions) resolving the matters in dispute in accordance with this Section 2.5, and the Final Adjustment Certificate reflecting such decision, within three (3) Business Days after the conclusion of the hearing, unless the Parties reach agreement prior thereto and withdraw the dispute from the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm shall, and the Parties shall ensure that the Independent Accounting Firm will, (i) act as an expert and not an arbitrator, (ii) address only those items in dispute and make all determinations based solely on the written presentations of Seller and Buyer and their respective Representatives, and not by independent review, and (iii) for each item, not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Seller or Buyer or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Seller or Buyer. The decision of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the Parties, and not subject to any appeal, save for manifest errors or fraud. Any fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.5(e) shall be borne by Seller and Buyer in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm. The Parties shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to determine such proportionate allocations at the time the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm is rendered. By way of illustration, (x) if Buyer’s calculations would have resulted in a $1,000,000 net payment to Buyer, and Seller’s calculations would have resulted in a $1,000,000 net payment to Seller and the Independent Accounting Firm’s final determination results in an aggregate net payment of $500,000 to Seller, then Buyer and Seller shall pay seventy-

31

five percent (75%) and twenty-five percent (25%,) respectively, of such fees and expenses, and (y) if each of such Parties’ calculations differs from the Independent Accounting Firm’s calculation by $1,000,000, Buyer and Seller shall split such fees and expenses evenly. As used in this Agreement, the term “Final Adjustment Certificate” shall mean the Closing Adjustment Certificate delivered (or deemed delivered) pursuant to Section 2.5(c), as subsequently adjusted, if applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.5(e) to reflect any subsequent written agreement between the Parties with respect thereto and, if submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm, any amendments or modifications to the Closing Adjustment Certificate decided by the Independent Accounting Firm.

(f) Final Settlement and Adjustment to Purchase Price; Payment.

(i) (x) If the Adjustment Amount set forth on the Final Adjustment Certificate is less than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then the Purchase Price shall equal the Preliminary Purchase Price decreased by an amount equal to the absolute value of such excess of the Estimated Adjustment Amount over the Adjustment Amount set forth on the Final Adjustment Certificate (a “Shortfall Payment”) and (y) if the Adjustment Amount set forth on the Final Adjustment Certificate is greater than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then the Purchase Price shall equal the Preliminary Purchase Price increased by an amount equal to such excess of the Adjustment Amount set forth on the Final Adjustment Certificate over the Estimated Adjustment Amount (an “Excess Payment”).

(ii) Any Shortfall Payment or Excess Payment shall be paid by Seller to Buyer or Buyer to Seller, respectively, not later than five (5) Business Days after the Final Settlement Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by Buyer or Seller, as applicable.

Section 2.6 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The Parties agree to allocate the Purchase Price (and any liabilities taken into account as consideration for the Company Interests under applicable Tax Law) for tax purposes among the Interests of the Company Entities consistent with the methodology set forth on Section 2.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. For purposes of Section 338 and Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any comparable or similar provisions of applicable state and local Tax Law), as the case may be, the Parties further agree to allocate the “aggregate deemed sales price,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.338-4, for the assets of each Company Entity for which a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made among the separate classes of assets (as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.338-6) of such Company Entity consistent with the methodology set forth on Section 2.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

(b) No later than thirty (30) Business Days after the Final Settlement Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a proposed allocation for tax purposes (the “Proposed Allocation”) consistent with Section 2.6(a). If Seller disagrees with any items reflected in the Proposed Allocation, then Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such disputed items within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt thereof, and, thereafter, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute for a period of thirty (30) Business Days (or such longer period as

32

mutually agreed by the Parties). To the extent that Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any disputed items, the Parties shall jointly submit any remaining disputed items for resolution to the Independent Accounting Firm, and shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to render its decision (which decision shall include a written statement of findings and conclusions, including a written explanation of its reasoning with respect to such findings and conclusions) resolving the matters in dispute in accordance with this Section 2.6 and Section 2.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule within thirty (30) days after such firm is retained. Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.6. The purchase price allocation as finally agreed or determined pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be the “Final Allocation.” Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate to adjust the Final Allocation to reflect any subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price (and any liabilities taken into account as consideration for the Company Interests under applicable Tax Law).

(c) The Final Allocation, as adjusted to take into account any subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price (and any liabilities taken into account as consideration for the Company Interests under applicable Tax Law), shall be binding on Buyer, the Company Entities and Seller and their respective Affiliates for all Tax purposes, save for manifest errors or fraud; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties may allocate the Purchase Price for any financial accounting purposes in accordance with applicable accounting rules, policies and procedures. The Buyer, the Company Entities and Seller and their respective Affiliates shall report, act, and file Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8883) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Final Allocation, as adjusted, and shall not take any Tax position contrary thereto; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to prevent any Party from settling, or require any Party to commence or participate in any litigation or administrative process challenging any determination made by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of the Final Allocation.

Section 2.7 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any and all Transfer Taxes imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be the responsibility of Buyer. To the extent any such Transfer Taxes are paid or payable by Seller, Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for such Transfer Taxes, upon Buyer’s receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of the amount of such Transfer Taxes. The Parties will reasonably cooperate in the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns or other documentation in connection with any Transfer Taxes subject to this Section 2.7, including joining in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation to the extent required by Law.

Section 2.8 Withholding. Assuming the form described in Section 2.3(b)(ii) is delivered to Buyer at or before Closing, Buyer and Seller are not aware of any applicable withholding Taxes other than with respect to amounts treated as compensation under applicable Law (if any). Accordingly, Buyer shall not be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable or deliverable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, except for any withholding (i) for Taxes owed as a result of the failure of Seller to deliver the form described in Section 2.3(b)(ii) or (ii) with respect to any amounts treated as compensation under applicable Law (if any).

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING BUYER

Buyer represents and warrants to Seller, except as set forth in the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

Section 5.1 Organization. Buyer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of Delaware and Buyer has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to carry on its business as it is currently conducted. Buyer is duly qualified or licensed to do business and (where applicable) is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification, licensure or standing necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified, licensed or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the performance by Buyer of any obligation under, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.

Section 5.2 Authorization. Buyer has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is or will at the Closing be a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and such other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of Buyer. This Agreement has been duly

51

executed and delivered by Buyer and constitutes (and the other Transaction Documents to which Buyer is or will at the Closing be a party will at the Closing be duly executed and delivered and will constitute) a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exception.

Section 5.3 Noncontravention. Neither the execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is or will at the Closing be a party, nor the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (a) conflicts with any provision of the Governing Documents of Buyer, (b) violates or results in a breach of any material agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument or other arrangement to which Buyer is a party or by which any of its assets or properties are bound, or (c) assuming receipt of the Consents described in Section 3.5 and Section 5.4 and compliance with the HSR Act, violates any Law to which Buyer is subject, except as would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the performance by Buyer of any obligation under, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.

Section 5.4 Government Authorizations.

(a) Buyer will have at Closing sufficient cash or other sources of immediately available funds to pay in cash the Preliminary Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of Article II and for all other actions necessary for Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is or will at the Closing be a party. Buyer has not incurred any financial obligation, commitment, restriction or liability of any kind, and is not contemplating or aware of any financial obligation, commitment, restriction or liability of any kind, in either case, which would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the performance by Buyer of any obligation under, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that receipt or availability of funds or financing by Buyer or any of its Affiliates shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligations hereunder. No funds to be paid to Seller have derived from or will have been derived from, or constitute, either directly or indirectly, the proceeds of any criminal activity under the anti-money laundering Laws of the United States.

(b) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer has delivered to Seller the duly executed Buyer Parent Guaranty. The Buyer Parent Guaranty is in full force and effect, has not been amended or modified, and is a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Buyer and Buyer Parent, subject to the Remedies Exception. No event has occurred which (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) would constitute a breach, violation or default on the part of, or permit termination, modification or acceleration by, Buyer or Buyer Parent under the Buyer Parent Guaranty.

52

(c) As of the date of this Agreement, Buyer Parent has received an executed commitment letter, dated as of September 27, 2022 (including the bridge facility agreement attached to such debt commitment letter, the “Debt Commitment”), from Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, Deutsche Bank AG, Luxembourg Branch and Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE (collectively, “Lenders”), pursuant to which Lenders have committed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide to Buyer Parent the amount of debt financing set forth therein (the “Debt Financing” or the “Financing”). A true and complete copy of the Debt Commitment has been previously provided to Seller only redacting in the bridge facility agreement attached thereto fees and amounts and economic terms that do not impact the amount or availability of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date. Buyer has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Debt Financing Documents to be paid on or before the date hereof and will pay all additional fees as they become due. As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment is (i) a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer Parent and, to the Knowledge of Buyer, each other party thereto, (ii) enforceable in accordance with its terms against Buyer Parent and, to the Knowledge of Buyer, each other party thereto, in each case subject to the Remedies Exception. As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Financing Documents have not been amended, modified, withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect, and does not contain any material misrepresentation by Buyer Parent. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3, the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III and Article IV and the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder, no event has occurred that (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach, violation or default thereunder on the part of Buyer Parent or, to the Knowledge of Buyer, each other party thereto, or permit termination, modification or acceleration thereof. No amendment or modification to, or withdrawal, termination or rescission of, the Debt Financing Documents is currently contemplated (except (I) for the addition of Debt Financing Sources or other relevant entities who did not execute the Debt Financing Documents as of the date hereof, (II) in connection with the establishment of the bridge facility contemplated by the Debt Commitment or (III) in connection with any reduction in commitments pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment or in respect of the proceeds of public or private equity or debt capital markets transactions). Assuming the Financing is funded in accordance with the Debt Financing Documents, the aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Debt Commitment, together with available cash of Buyer and other liquidity available to Buyer, will be sufficient for Buyer to complete the transactions to be effected at the Closing contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is or will at the Closing be a party, and to satisfy all of the payment obligations of Buyer hereunder and thereunder at the Closing, including the Preliminary Purchase Price at the Closing (collectively, the “Financing Purposes”). Except for the syndication letter, the underwriting fee letter, the participation fee letter and customary engagement and other fee letters (none of which affect the conditionality of the Debt Commitment and copies of such syndication letter, participation fee letter and underwriting fee letter which have been provided to Seller, only redacting fees and amounts and economic terms that do not impact the amount or availability of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date) (together with the Debt Commitment, the “Debt Financing Documents”), there are no side letters or other agreements, contracts, arrangements or understandings related to the Debt Financing that would affect the

53

conditionality of the Debt Commitment. The only conditions precedent related to the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date shall be the financing conditions contained in the Debt Commitment. No Contract between Lenders, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, contains any conditions precedent or other contingencies (1) related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing or any provisions that could reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing set forth in the Debt Commitment or the aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Debt Commitment to an amount that is less than an amount sufficient to pay the Financing Purposes, in each case, other than any reduction in commitments pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment in respect of the proceeds of public or private equity or debt capital markets transactions or (2) that would otherwise adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability or availability of the Debt Commitment with respect to all or any portion of the Financing, in each case. As of the date hereof, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3, the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III and Article IV and the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder, Buyer has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing would not reasonably be expected to be satisfied on a timely basis or that the Financing would not reasonably be expected to be available to Buyer Parent on the date on which the Closing should occur. Buyer understands and acknowledges that under the terms of this Agreement, Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not in any way contingent upon or otherwise subject to Buyer or Buyer Parent’s consummation of any financing arrangements, Buyer or Buyer Parent’s obtaining of any financing or the availability, grant, provision or extension of any financing to Buyer or Buyer Parent.

Section 5.6 Investment. Buyer is aware that the Company Interests being acquired by Buyer pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities Laws. Buyer is not an underwriter, as such term is defined under the Securities Act, and Buyer is purchasing the Company Interests for its own account solely for investment. Buyer and its Affiliates acknowledge that none of them may sell or otherwise dispose of the Company Interests except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other applicable securities Laws. Buyer is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 5.7 Litigation. As of the date hereof, (a) there are no Actions pending or, to Buyer’s Knowledge, threatened in law or in equity or before any Governmental Authority against Buyer or any of its Affiliates that would reasonably be expected to result in any Liability for Buyer that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the performance by Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and (b) neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates is subject to any Governmental Order which would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the performance by Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

Section 5.8 Solvency. As of the Closing and immediately after consummating the transactions contemplated hereby (including any debt and equity financings being entered into in connection therewith), Buyer and its consolidated Subsidiaries (including the Company Entities), taken as a whole, will not (a) be insolvent (either because their financial condition is such that the sum of their debts and Liabilities is greater than the fair value of their assets or because the present

54

fair salable value of their assets will be less than the amount required to pay their probable liability on their debts and Liabilities as they become absolute and matured), (b) have unreasonably small capital with which to engage in their businesses or (c) have incurred or plan to incur debts beyond their ability to repay such debts as they become absolute and matured. No transfer of property is being made by Buyer and no obligation is being incurred by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including any debt and equity financings being entered into in connection therewith) with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 5.9 Brokers’ Fees. None of Buyer or any of its Affiliates has entered into any contract or other arrangement or understanding (written or oral, express or implied) with any Person which may result in the obligation of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including, prior to the Closing, the Company Entities) to pay any fees or commissions to any broker or finder as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which Buyer is or will at the Closing be a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 5.10 Information.

(a) Seller and the Company Entities have provided Buyer with such access to the facilities, books, records and personnel of the Company Entities as Buyer has deemed necessary and appropriate in order for Buyer to investigate to its satisfaction the businesses and properties of the Company Entities.

(b) Buyer has relied on its own legal, tax and financial advisors for its evaluation of its investment decision to purchase the Company Interests and to enter into this Agreement and not on the advice of Seller or its legal, tax or financial advisors.

Buyer understands that no assurances or representations can be given that the actual results of the operations of any Company Entity will conform to the projected results for any period. Buyer specifically acknowledges that no representation or warranty has been made, and that Buyer has not relied on any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any projections, estimates or budgets, future revenues, future results from operations, future cash flows, the future condition (whether financial or other) of any Company Entity, or the businesses or assets thereof, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Buyer, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, partners, members and other Representatives, acknowledges and agrees that (i) none of Seller or any Company Entity, or any of their respective Affiliates, agents or other Representatives, or any other Person, has made, or is making, any representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given by Seller in Article III and Article IV, including any implied warranty or representation as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or trade as to any of the

55

asset of the Company Entities, (ii) none of Buyer, any of its Affiliates and any of its and their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, partners, members and other Representatives has relied on or is relying on any representation, warranty or statement of any kind by Seller or any Company Entity, or any of their respective Affiliates, agents or other Representatives, or any other Person, beyond those expressly given by Seller in Article III and Article IV, including any implied warranty or representation as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or trade as to any of the assets of any of the Company Entities, and (iii) each of Seller, the Company Entities, and each of their respective Affiliates, agents and other Representatives have specifically disclaimed and do hereby specifically disclaim any such representations or warranties made by any Person, beyond those expressly given by Seller in Article III and Article IV. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that, except as set forth in Article III or Article IV, (A) any information, documents or other materials (including any such materials contained in the Intralinks virtual data room or management presentations), including any costs estimates, financial or other projections or other predictions therein, that have been or shall hereafter be provided to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, agents or other Representatives are not and will not be deemed to be representations or warranties of Seller or any Company Entity, or any of their respective Affiliates, agents or other Representatives, and (B) no representation or warranty is made as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the foregoing.

(b) Buyer, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives shall hold in confidence all confidential information obtained from Seller, the Company Entities or their respective Affiliates, or Representatives, whether or not relating to the business of the Company Entities, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement which, notwithstanding anything contained herein or therein, shall remain in full force and effect following the execution of this Agreement and shall survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and shall terminate with respect to any information relating to the Company Entities or the Business upon Closing (for the avoidance of doubt, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in force after Closing in accordance with the terms thereof with respect to any information provided thereunder with respect to the business of the Remaining Seller Group other than the Business).

Section 6.6 Public Announcements. Each Party shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or public announcement, or otherwise communicate or make any disclosures regarding this Agreement, other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written approval of the other Party, except that each of the Parties and the Company Entities may deliver notices to contractual counterparties that are Governmental Authorities or as are otherwise necessary to comply with Law or the requirements of any Contract to which any Party or Company Entity is a party, provided that the respective other Party shall be notified in advance to the extent legally permissible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party may make such press release, public announcement, communication or disclosure to the extent (i) required by applicable Law or (ii) as necessary in the determination of such Party to comply with applicable stock exchange rules (such as disclosure obligations under the European market abuse regulation or the SEC). In each such case, the other Party shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, have the right to review such press release, public announcement, communication or disclosure prior to its issuance, distribution or publication, and such press release, public announcement, communication or disclosure shall incorporate any comments or changes reasonably requested by such other Party.

Section 6.7 Post-Closing Access; Preservation of Records. From and after the Closing, for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing, each Party and its Affiliates shall make, or cause to be made, available to the other Party all books, records, Tax Returns and documents to the extent relating to the Company Entities prior to the Closing (and the assistance of employees responsible for such books, records and documents) during regular business hours as may be reasonably necessary for (i) investigating, settling, preparing for the defense or prosecution of, defending or prosecuting any Action (other than, without limiting any right to discovery, any Action between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby), (ii) preparing reports to equity holders and Governmental Authorities or (iii) such other purposes for which access to such documents is determined by such requesting Party to be reasonably necessary, including preparing and delivering any accounting or other statement provided for under this Agreement or otherwise, preparing Tax Returns, pursuing Tax refunds or responding to or disputing any Tax audit, or the determination of any matter relating to the rights and obligations of the Parties under any Transaction Documents; provided, however, that access to such books, records, documents and employees shall not interfere with the normal operations of the disclosing Party and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the disclosing Party incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the requesting Party; provided, further, no Party shall be required to provide any access or information to the other Party, its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives, if such first Party reasonably believes it is prohibited from providing to the other Party, its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives by reason of applicable Law, which would jeopardize attorney-client or similar privilege, or which the first Party or its Affiliates are required to keep confidential or prevent access to by reason of any Contract with a Third Party or which would otherwise expose such first Party or its Affiliates to a risk of material Liability; provided that such first Party shall use its reasonable best efforts in any such circumstance to utilize an alternative mechanism to permit the other Party such access or information in a manner that would avoid such prohibition, jeopardy, requirement or risk. Buyer shall cause each Company Entity to maintain and preserve Tax Returns, books, records and other documents for the greater of (A) seven (7) years after the Closing Date and (B) any applicable statutory or regulatory retention period, as the same may be extended and, in each case, shall offer to transfer such records to Seller at the end of any such period (at Seller’s sole cost and expense).

Section 6.8 Tax Matters.

(a) With respect to each Company Entity treated as of the Closing Date as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “Partnership Entities”), in any case in which the tax year of a Partnership Entity does not end on the Closing Date, for purposes of Section 706 of the Code, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and such Partnership Entity’s Governing Documents, the Parties shall cause such Partnership Entity to use the “interim closing method” and “monthly convention” (in each case as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4) for purposes of allocating tax items of such Partnership Entity to the portion of such tax year ending on the Closing Date and beginning after the Closing Date, respectively.

(b) Seller shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all Tax Returns of any Seller Consolidated Group for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Seller shall timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns.

(c) Buyer shall prepare drafts of all Tax Returns (other than the Tax Returns described in Section 6.8(b)) (the “Draft Tax Returns”) of the Company Entities for (A) any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date that become due after the Closing Date and (B) any Straddle Period, in each case, that are required to be filed after the Closing Date and prior to the final determination of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5. Each such Draft Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of such Company Entity unless required by applicable Law. Buyer shall provide Seller with a draft of each such Draft Tax Return at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date thereof for Seller’s review and comment, and Buyer shall consider in good faith Seller’s reasonable comments. Any such Taxes shown as due with respect to such Draft Tax Returns that are attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, determined in accordance with Section 6.8(d), shall be taken into account, without duplication, in the calculation of the Pre-Closing Tax Amount and the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.8(c) to the contrary, but subject to Section 2.6, the preparation of all Tax Returns filed by any Company Entity (other than Seller Consolidated Returns that include a Company Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period) after the Closing Date shall be in Buyer’s sole discretion.

(d)

(i) Solely for purposes of calculating the Pre-Closing Tax Amount and the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5, in the case of any Taxes imposed with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that is allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to equal (i) in the case of real or personal property Taxes or other similar Taxes imposed on an ad valorem basis, the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period; provided, that any such Taxes that are attributable to an increase in the assessed value of the property of a Company Entity as a result of the purchase and sale of the Company Interests pursuant to

70

this Agreement shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any such Taxes allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall not exceed the amount of such Taxes that would have been allocable thereto if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement had not occurred), and (ii) in the case of any other Taxes, the amount of Taxes that would be payable based on an interim closing of the books of the applicable Company Entity as of the end of the day on the Closing Date; provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (such as depreciation) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Taxes of any Company Entity that are allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and attributable to any of Buyer, its Affiliates (including any Company Entity), or any Representatives thereof, without Seller’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (A) causing any Company Entity to take any actions outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date following the Closing, (B) amending or approving or consenting to the amendment of any Tax Return of a Company Entity for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (C) taking any position on any Tax Return of a Company Entity that is inconsistent with past practice, (D) making, changing, revoking, approving or consenting to any Tax election with respect to any Company Entity or (E) compromising or settling any Tax liability of a Company Entity, in each case, shall be excluded from the determination of the Pre-Closing Tax Amount and the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5.

(iii) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for each Company Entity for which a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, such Company Entity will be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state income Tax purposes as transferring all of its assets to a new corporation at the end of the day on the Closing Date and all federal and applicable state income Tax liabilities will be allocated to a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (or any comparable provisions of state or local Tax Law) applies.

(e) Except to the extent specifically included in Adjusted Net Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5), any non-income Tax refunds of a Company Entity actually received by Buyer or its Affiliates (including any Company Entity following the Closing) prior to the final determination of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5 with respect to any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (determined in accordance with the principles of Section 6.8(d)) (collectively, “Tax Refunds”) shall be for the account of Seller. Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller the amount of any such excess Tax Refund (plus any interest actually received with respect thereto from an applicable Governmental Authority), net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred in connection with receiving such Tax Refund, within ten (10) days of receipt of such Tax Refund.

71

(f) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.8(g) or as required by applicable Law, without Seller’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, none of Buyer, any of its Affiliates (including any Company Entity), or any Representatives thereof, shall cause any Company Entity to take any actions outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date following the Closing, that reasonably would be expected to materially increase the amount of any Taxes of Seller or its Affiliates for any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date or any Straddle Period.

(g) Seller and Buyer shall jointly make, or cause to be made, elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any comparable provisions of state or local Tax Law) (each, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) for each Company Entity that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to the sale and purchase of each such Company Entity and, at Closing, the Parties shall execute an IRS Form 8023 (and any similar state or local forms). The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to take all actions necessary (including filing such additional forms, returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required, which shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation as determined in accordance with Section 2.6) to effect such elections in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any comparable provisions of state or local Tax Law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly after the date hereof, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to determine whether it would be beneficial to each Party (in each Party’s sole discretion) not to make such an election for any state or local jurisdiction under any comparable provision of state or local Tax Law; provided that, if the Parties agree not to make any such election for any state or local jurisdiction, the Parties will reasonably cooperate to make any necessary corresponding amendments to this Agreement.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer and Seller agree that, in conformance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(ii), any federal income Tax deductions incurred by a Company Entity on the Closing Date resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are each properly allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period. Buyer shall not utilize (or cause its Affiliates to utilize) the “next day rule” in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) (or any similar provision of foreign, state or local law) for purposes of reporting such items on Buyer’s (or its Affiliates) applicable Tax Returns; provided¸ that to the extent any federal income Tax deduction is properly allocable to the post-Closing Tax period (determined using a “should” standard) the Parties agree to allocate such federal income Tax deductions to the post-Closing Tax period. The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, report in a manner consistent with this Section 6.8(h) for all Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(i) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes imposed on or with respect to the assets, operations or activities of any Company Entity. Such cooperation shall include (upon the other party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

72

(j) On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate, or cause to be terminated, the rights and obligations of the Company Entities with respect to any Tax sharing agreement or arrangement between any of the Company Entities, on the one hand, and any member of the Remaining Seller Group, on the other hand. Neither any member of the Remaining Seller Group, on the one hand, nor any of the Company Entities, on the other hand, shall have any rights or obligations with respect to one another after the Closing in respect of any such agreement or arrangement.

(k) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for all Tax purposes, any Deferred Project SPV shall be treated as being owned by Seller or the applicable Affiliate of Seller unless and until such Deferred Project SPV is transferred to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer in accordance with Section 2.4(i). The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, (i) report in a manner consistent with this Section 6.8(k) for all Tax purposes and (ii) for all Tax purposes, allocate the consideration received for any Deferred Project SPV in a manner consistent with the methodology set forth on Section 2.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties may report for any financial accounting purposes in accordance with applicable accounting rules, policies and procedures.

Section 6.9 Insurance.

(a) From and after the Closing Date (i) the Company Entities shall cease to be insured by, have access or availability to, be entitled to make claims on, or be entitled to claim benefits or seek coverage under, any of Seller’s or its Affiliates insurance policies or any of their self-insured programs and (ii) Buyer shall be solely responsible for obtaining or providing insurance coverage for the Company Entities for any event or occurrence after the Closing sufficient to comply with any and all of the contractual and statutory obligations of the Company Entities. Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to assert any reasonable claims in relation to the Business under existing insurance policies in line with the claims notification obligations of the individual policy of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates for: (i) any damages or losses covered by any such insurance policies (in particular “occurrence” policies) for periods up to Closing or (ii) any matters notified against existing insurance policies prior to Closing, in each case to the extent (x) such damages and losses continue to impact the Business following Closing, (y) no provisions have been made for such damages or losses that have already been reflected in the calculation of the Purchase Price, and (z) such damages or losses do not affect the assets and properties of the Remaining Seller Group (“Post-Closing Insurance Claims”). Seller shall transfer any proceeds received by Seller or Seller’s Affiliates under such Post-Closing Insurance Claims under the respective insurance policies in relation to the Business to Buyer, or at Buyer’s request, the respective Company Entities.

(b) For a period of six (6) years following the Closing, Buyer agrees to cause the Company Entities to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company Entities (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) against any judgments, claims and Damages incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, to the fullest extent that the Company Entities, as the case may be, would have been permitted under applicable Law and its respective Governing Documents in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify the D&O Indemnified

73

Persons (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law). Without limiting the foregoing, for a period of six (6) years following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company Entities to maintain in effect exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions no less favorable than those in effect as of the date of this Agreement and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who immediately before the Closing were directors and officers of the Company Entities; provided, however, that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim.

(c) In the event Buyer or the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or converts into any other Person or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Buyer shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Company shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

Section 6.10 Support Obligations.

(a) Buyer shall, at its sole risk, cost and expense, use reasonable best efforts, including offering substitute guarantees, letters of credit, bonds, credit assurances or similar support of or procured by Buyer’s Affiliates other than the Company Entities, and Seller shall provide, and Seller shall cause the Company Entities to provide, all reasonable support, cooperation and assistance (it being understood that such support, cooperation and assistance shall not include any requirement to pay any consideration or offer or grant any financial accommodation), to ensure that, effective as of the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates (other than any Company Entity) shall be released from all obligations and Liabilities relating to or arising under or out of or in connection with each Support Obligation entered into on or before the date of this Agreement or in the Interim Period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Seller or its Affiliates shall continue to maintain the applicable Support Obligations.

(b) Without limiting Buyer’s obligations under the preceding sentence, if such releases are not obtained as of the Closing Date, Seller or its Affiliates shall continue to maintain the applicable Support Obligations, in each case, at the same levels as provided as of the Closing Date, and Buyer shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts to replace such Support Obligations as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date (but in no event later than thirty-six (36) months following the Closing Date). Subject to the terms hereof, effective as from the Closing Date and limited to any Support Obligations to the extent and for as long as not released, Buyer shall (i) reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for, and hold each of them harmless from, all amounts paid or payable to the relevant beneficiary, (ii) reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for any Third Party expenses reasonably incurred by Seller or its Affiliates for any Support Obligations issued by Third Parties on Seller’s behalf (excluding any internal costs or administrative overhead) and (iii) pay to Seller a fee equal to, during the first twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, 1.5% p.a., and thereafter 2.25% p.a. on the aggregate nominal amount of Support Obligations issued by Seller itself, as applicable. The fee pursuant to (iii) shall be due and payable by Buyer to Seller in monthly instalments and the reimbursement pursuant to (i) and (ii) shall occur within ten (10) Business Days of Seller providing Buyer with evidence and documentation thereof reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

74

(c) To the extent that Support Obligations are issued after the date hereof, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that all recipients of Support Obligations issued by a member of the Remaining Seller Group and all issuers providing Support Obligations on behalf of a member of the Remaining Seller Group for the benefit of the Company Entities agree to accept an assurance provided by Buyer Parent or other Affiliate of Buyer (other than the Company Entities) as a substitute.

Section 6.11 Employee Relations and Benefits.

(a) No later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide to Buyer an updated correct and complete copy of the Company Employee Census. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates shall take all steps as are reasonably required to (i) transfer the employment of each employee who is primarily dedicated to servicing the Business and employed by Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than a Company Entity) to a Company Entity (each such employee, a “Transferred Employee”, who shall be deemed a Company Employee for purposes of Article III and Section 6.1), and (ii) transfer the employment of each individual who is employed by any of the Company Entities and is not primarily dedicated to servicing the Business to Seller or one of its Subsidiaries (other than a Company Entity).

(b) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company Entities to, honor all employment, severance, termination, retention, change in control, consulting, and similar Contracts and plans to which any Company Entity is a party or which are sponsored by any Company Entity in accordance with its terms as of the date hereof, in each case, to the extent disclosed on Section 3.15(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and denoted as a Company Entity Plan. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause all Benefit Plans set forth on Section 6.11(b)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (and all rights and obligations thereunder) to be assumed by the Company Entities (the “Assumed Benefit Plans”). From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company Entities) to, honor, comply with the terms of, and fulfill all obligations (whether in respect of service prior to, on or after the Closing Date) under, the Assumed Benefit Plans, and, except as set forth on Section 6.11(b)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or as set forth in Section 6.11(e) of this Agreement, Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company Entities) shall not retain any Liability with respect to the Assumed Benefit Plans on or after the Closing.

(c) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company Entities to, provide each Transferred Employee and Company Employee who, in each case, continues in the employ of Buyer, the Company Entities or any of their respective Affiliates following the Closing Date (“Continuing Employees”) with: (i) annual base salary or base wage rate that is no less than the annual base salary or base wage rate, respectively, provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) short-term incentive compensation opportunities (including bonuses (annual or more frequent) and commissions) that are no less than the short-term incentive compensation opportunities (including bonuses (annual or more frequent) and commissions) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (excluding any special, one-time or other non-recurring incentives), (iii)

75

compensation that is substantially equivalent in value to the long-term incentive compensation opportunities in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iv) other employee benefits (including retirement, health and welfare benefits, but excluding defined benefit pension benefits, long-term incentive compensation opportunities, and equity or equity-based benefits) that are substantially equivalent in value in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(d) 401(k) Plan.

(i) Effective not later than the Closing Date, Buyer shall have in effect one or more defined contribution plans that include a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) and a related trust exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. Each Continuing Employee who immediately prior to the Closing Date is participating in a Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (a “Seller 401(k) Plan”) shall become a participant in the corresponding Buyer 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Buyer 401(k) Plan.

(ii) Buyer agrees to cause the Buyer 401(k) Plan to allow each Continuing Employee to make a “direct rollover” to the Buyer 401(k) Plan of the account balances of such Continuing Employee (including promissory notes evidencing any outstanding loans) under the Seller 401(k) Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated prior to the Closing if such Seller 401(k) Plan permits such a direct rollover and if such direct rollover is elected in accordance with applicable law by such Continuing Employee. The rollovers described herein shall comply with applicable Law, and each party shall make all filings and take any actions required of such party under applicable Law in connection therewith.

(e) With respect to each Continuing Employee who is a participant in the Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. Retention Bonus Plan for Key Executives (the “Executive Retention Plan”) and who also was, immediately prior to the Closing Date, a participant in the Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. Annual Incentive Plan (“CEB AIP”) or the Consolidated Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the “CEB LTIP”), Buyer agrees to provide (or cause its Affiliates, including the Company after the Closing, to provide) Seller and its Affiliates with such information as is reasonably necessary to allow Seller to timely satisfy any of its obligations to pay, or cause to be paid, such Continuing Employees certain payments and benefits under such plans for the period prior to the Closing Date, including to determine the amounts to be paid under Sections 3.6(a) and 3.6(b) of the Executive Retention Plan. Seller and Buyer agree that Seller’s obligations under such Sections shall be satisfied by Seller instructing Buyer or the Company or an applicable Affiliate thereof as to the amounts to pay to the applicable Continuing Employees thereunder and that Buyer or the Company or an applicable Affiliate thereof shall timely make such payments. No later than ten (10) Business Days following such payments, Seller shall reimburse Buyer, the Company or the applicable Affiliate for any such payments made, including the applicable employer portion of payroll taxes therefor, in each case other than to the extent already deducted from the Base Purchase Price as part of the Adjustment

76

Amount. In the event that a participant in the Executive Retention Plan reimburses the Company or any Affiliate thereof following the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.1(e) of the Executive Retention Plan, within ten (10) Business Days following any such reimbursement, Buyer shall pay Seller, or cause the Company to pay Seller, such reimbursed amounts to the extent that they were funded by Seller.

Deferred Income Plan, the Consolidated Edison Retirement Plan, the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. Supplemental Retirement Income Plan and the Consolidated Edison, Inc. Supplemental Defined Contribution Pension Plan (collectively, the “Seller Deferred Compensation Plans”) and all account balances for Continuing Employees thereunder. All unvested account balances under the Seller Deferred Compensation Plans held by Continuing Employees shall vest as of the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, with respect to each Continuing Employee who, immediately prior to the Closing Date, is a participant in a Seller Deferred Compensation Plan and whose name is set forth on Section 6.11(f) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller when such Continuing Employee experiences a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued thereunder) from the Company.

(g) After the Closing Date, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of the termination of employment of each employee set forth on Section 6.11(g) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and to specify the reason for any such termination, including whether such termination was by Buyer or its Affiliates for “Cause” or without “Cause” or a resignation by the employee without “Good Reason” or for “Good Reason” as such terms are defined in the Executive Retention Plan. Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller and its Affiliates for any and all claims relating to the determination whether such employee has terminated from employment with or without Cause or resigned with or without Good Reason.

(h) From and after the Closing, Buyer (x) shall use reasonable best efforts to give each Continuing Employee full credit for all purposes, including eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting and benefit accrual, under any employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements (including severance and vacation/paid time off policies (and any accruals thereunder)) provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (“Buyer Plans”) for such Continuing Employee’s service with the Company Entities, and with any predecessor employer, to the same extent recognized by the Company Entities, except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service, and (y) shall credit to each Continuing Employee under the applicable vacation or paid time off program of Buyer or its Affiliates for all unused vacation or other paid time off days of such Continuing Employee that accrued on or prior to the Closing Date, and shall cooperate in good faith with any vacation commitments communicated by such Continuing Employees to the Company Entities in accordance with the applicable Benefit Plan in respect of periods occurring subsequent to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, Buyer shall not be required to provide credit for such service (x) for benefit accrual purposes under any Buyer Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan or post-retirement welfare plan or (y) for purposes of vesting any equity-based incentive compensation awards.

77

(i) Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to (x) waive or cause to be waived for each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents, any waiting period provision, payment requirement to avoid a waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement and any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under the welfare plans of Buyer or any of its Affiliates applicable to such Continuing Employee to the extent such waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement or other restriction would not have been applicable to (or was previously satisfied by) such Continuing Employee under the terms of the comparable Benefit Plan, and (y) give or cause to be given full credit under the Buyer Plans applicable to each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents for all co-payments and deductibles under any Benefit Plan satisfied prior to the Closing in the same plan year as the Closing for purposes of any annual and lifetime maximums, as if there had been a single continuous employer.

(b) The Parties agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment determines that a specified time period or any other relevant feature of this Section 6.13 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser time period or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law.

(ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment or on other terms (not related to conditionality) that are (A) acceptable to Lender and (B) in the aggregate not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Buyer; and

(iii) consummate the Financing or cause the Financing to be consummated at or prior to Closing if the conditions thereto set forth in the Debt Commitment have been satisfied (other than those which are dependent upon, or are to occur simultaneously with, the funding of the Financing).

80

6.14, all references to the Financing shall be deemed to include such Alternative Financing and all references to the Debt Financing Documents or other Debt Documents shall include the applicable documents for the Alternative Financing. Buyer shall (1) comply in all material respects with the Debt Commitment and each definitive agreement with respect thereto (collectively, the “Debt Documents”), (2) enforce their rights under the Debt Commitment and other Debt Document and (3) not permit, without the prior written consent of Seller, any amendment or modification to be made to, or any termination, rescission or withdrawal of, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under the Debt Financing Documents or other Debt Document that (individually or in the aggregate with any other amendments, modifications or waivers) would reasonably be expected to (x) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing thereunder (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount thereof) such that Buyer cannot, taking into account available cash of Buyer and other liquidity available to Buyer, pay the Financing Purposes, or (y) impose any new or additional condition, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any condition, to the receipt of any portion of the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (I) materially delay or prevent the Closing Date, or (II) materially adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against any other party to the Debt Commitment or other Debt Document; provided that, in any event, Buyer may amend the Debt Commitment to join additional financing sources, arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents, documentation agents or other agents, managers, co-managers or similar entities to the Debt Commitment that had not executed the Debt Commitment as of the date hereof.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer may cancel or terminate a portion of the commitments provided under the Debt Commitment or Debt Documents to the extent Buyer Parent has completed any public or private equity or debt capital markets transactions and received proceeds therefrom in an amount of the commitments so cancelled or terminated so long as no term or condition related to such transaction is reasonably likely to prevent, impede, delay or impair the availability of the Financing (other than the portion so cancelled or terminated) or the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, while Seller may pursue both a grant of specific performance to the extent permitted by this Section 8.1 and the payment of the Buyer Termination Fee, under no circumstances shall Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance to require Buyer to consummate the Closing and payment of the Buyer Termination Fee. In the event that Seller pursues and obtains the payment of the Buyer Termination Fee, the Buyer Termination Fee shall be the exclusive and final remedy for this Agreement not being consummated, for whatever reason; in no event shall Seller be entitled a grant of specific performance after receiving the Buyer Termination Fee. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, Seller shall be entitled to specific performance (i) to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of, and to prevent or cure breaches of, this Agreement (including Section 6.14) by Buyer, (ii) to cause Buyer to pay the Buyer

89

Termination Fee to the extent such Buyer Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 10.3 or to fulfill its indemnification and reimbursement obligations pursuant Section 6.14(b) and (iii) to cause Buyer to draw down the full proceeds of the Debt Commitment and to cause Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including to effect the Closing in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, if, solely in the case of this clause (iii), (A) all conditions in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied (other than any such conditions which by their terms are not capable of being satisfied until the Closing Date; provided that such conditions would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time), (B) Buyer fails to complete the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3, (C) the Debt Financing (or, if Alternative Financing is being used in accordance with Section 6.14, pursuant to the commitments with respect thereto) has been funded or will be funded at the Closing and (D) Seller has irrevocably confirmed that if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing (or, if Alternative Financing is being used in accordance with Section 6.14, pursuant to the commitments with respect thereto) are funded, then the Closing will occur. In furtherance of the foregoing, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Seller shall be entitled to specific performance to cause Buyer to enforce the terms of the Debt Commitment, including by demanding that Buyer file one or more lawsuits against the Debt Financing Sources to fully enforce such Debt Financing Sources’ obligations thereunder and Buyer’s rights thereunder, if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied (other than any such conditions which by their terms are not capable of being satisfied until the Closing Date; provided that such conditions would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time), and Buyer fails to complete the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3 and (ii) all of the conditions to the consummation of the Debt Financing provided by the Debt Commitment (or, if Alternative Financing is being used in accordance with Section 6.14 pursuant to the commitments with respect thereto) have been satisfied (other than any such conditions which by their terms are not capable of being satisfied until the Closing Date; provided that such conditions would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time).

Section 8.2 Waiver and Release. Effective as of the Closing, each of Buyer and Seller, for itself and each of its respective Affiliates (including, in respect of Seller, the Company Entities prior to the Closing and, in respect of Buyer, the Company Entities after the Closing) and its and their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, managers, members, direct or indirect equityholders, controlling persons, Affiliates, attorneys, assignees, agents, representatives or representatives of any of the foregoing, or any former, current or future estates, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Releasor”), hereby irrevocably, knowingly and voluntarily releases, discharges and forever waives and relinquishes all claims, demands, obligations, Liabilities, defenses, affirmative defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, Actions and causes of action of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which any Releasor has, may have, or might have or may assert now or in the future, against the other Party or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective former, current and future directors, officers, employees, general and limited partners, managers, members, direct and indirect equityholders, controlling persons, affiliates, attorneys, assignees, agents, representatives and representatives of any of the foregoing, and any and all former, current and future estates, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Releasee”) arising out of, based upon or resulting from any Contract, transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type,

90

whether known or unknown, and which occurred, existed or was taken or permitted at or prior to the Closing to the extent relating to any of the Company Entities, the ownership of the Company Interests, the business or the operation, management, use or control of the businesses of the Company Entities or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall release, waive, discharge, relinquish or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any Person under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any rights or obligations resulting from Fraud. Each Releasee to whom this Section 8.2 applies shall be a third party beneficiary of this Section 8.2.

ARTICLE IX.

NO SURVIVAL

Section 9.1 No Survival. None of the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in this Agreement or any certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing, except for such covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part after the Closing and then only in accordance with their respective terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties hereby acknowledge that:

(a) the provisions of and the limitations of remedies provided in Section 8.2, this Section 9.1 and Section 10.3 were specifically bargained for between the Parties and were taken into account by the Parties in arriving at the Purchase Price;

(b) the Parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; and

(c) this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations and the Parties specifically acknowledge that no Party has any special relationship with another Party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction.

ARTICLE X.

TERMINATION

Section 10.1 Termination Events. Without prejudice to other remedies which may be available to the Parties by Law or this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(b) by either Seller or Buyer by giving written notice to the other Party if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the date that is nine (9) months following the date of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”); provided, that (i) if on such date, the conditions to

91

Closing set forth in Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(c), or Section 7.1(d) have not been satisfied but all other conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 shall be satisfied or waived (in writing) or shall be capable of being satisfied or waived on such date, then the Termination Date shall be automatically extended by six (6) months, without any action on the part of the Parties, and such date shall become the “Termination Date” for the purposes of this Agreement, and (ii) if on the date contemplated by the foregoing sub-clause (i), the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(c), or Section 7.1(d) have not been satisfied but all other conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 shall be satisfied or waived (in writing) or shall be capable of being satisfied or waived on such date, then the Termination Date shall be automatically extended by an additional three (3) months, without any action on the part of the Parties, and such date shall become the “Termination Date” for the purposes of this Agreement; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this subsection (b) shall not be available to any Party if such failure of the Closing to occur by the Termination Date was primarily due to the breach or violation of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement by such Party;

(c) by either Seller or Buyer by giving written notice to the other Party if such other Party has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder in a manner that would reasonably be expected to cause any condition of such Party giving notice set forth in Article VII not to be satisfied and such breach has not been cured within the earlier of thirty (30) days after written notification thereof by the Party seeking termination hereunder and the Termination Date; or

(d) by either Seller or Buyer by giving written notice to the other Party if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall not be subject to appeal or shall have become final and unappealable; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this subsection (d) shall not be available to any Party if such order, decree, ruling or other Action was primarily due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any Liability on the part of either Party or its Affiliates in respect thereof, except that (i) provisions of, and the obligations of Buyer and Seller under, Section 6.2(b), Section 6.6, Section 8.1, this Article X and Article XI of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) subject to Section 10.3, such termination shall not relieve any Party of any Liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

Section 10.3 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that (i) the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) (where such Government Order arises under the HSR Act, the Clayton Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, or the Sherman Act), Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.1(d) are not satisfied and (ii) this Agreement is terminated (x) by Seller pursuant to Section 10.1(c) due to Buyer’s breach of Section 6.5(c), or (y) by either Seller or Buyer pursuant to Section 10.1(b) at a time when this Agreement

92

may have been terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 10.1(c) due to Buyer’s breach of Section 6.5(c), then Buyer shall, promptly and in any event within five (5) Business Days of such termination, pay the Company a non-refundable termination fee, without offset or reduction of any kind, in an amount of $220,000,000 (the “Buyer Termination Fee”), it being understood that in no event shall Buyer be required to pay the Buyer Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Any amount that becomes payable pursuant to this Section 10.3(a) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts that have been designated by Seller.

(b) In the event that the Buyer Termination Fee is paid pursuant to Section 10.3(a), Buyer shall not have any liability of any nature whatsoever to Seller with respect to any breach of this Agreement or the failure of the Closing to occur, other than the liability of Buyer to pay (i) the Buyer Termination Fee in accordance with Section 10.3(a), as applicable, or (ii) any amounts payable under Section 6.14 or this Section 10.3(b); provided, however, that, if Buyer fails to pay the Buyer Termination Fee when due, (A) Buyer shall additionally pay to Seller interest on the amount of the Buyer Termination Fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at a rate per annum (calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed) equal to the rate then-payable on U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of three months on the date such payment was required to be made and (B) if, in order to obtain such payment, Seller commences an Action that results in a judgment against Buyer, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such Action.

(c) Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the Buyer Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller in the circumstances in which the Buyer Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be uncertain and incapable of accurate determination.

(d) Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 10.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither Buyer nor Seller would enter into this Agreement.

[PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT]

Exhibit 99

CON EDISON ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO SELL RENEWABLE ENERGY SUBSIDIARIES

NEW YORK, October 1, 2022 – Consolidated Edison, Inc. (“Con Edison”) (NYSE: ED) today announced that it entered into a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which Con Edison agreed to sell its interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Clean Energy Businesses”) to RWE Renewables Americas, LLC, a subsidiary of RWE Aktiengesellschaft (“RWE”). The transaction is valued at $6.8 billion, subject to certain customary adjustments.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended and approvals by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, among other things.

In light of the pending transaction, Con Edison intends to forego its previously announced plan to issue up to $850 million of common equity in 2022 and withdraws its equity guidance for 2023 and 2024.

“The transaction we announced today will allow Con Edison to sharply focus on our core utility businesses and the investments needed to lead New York’s ambitious clean energy transition,” said Timothy P. Cawley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Con Edison. “RWE, in turn, is well positioned to accelerate the growth of renewable energy across the United States.”

RWE is an industry leader in renewable generation globally, with locations throughout the U.S., Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

With a strong commitment to lead the clean energy transition in New York, Con Edison continues to make significant investments in clean energy transmission projects, building electrification, energy efficiency, electric vehicle infrastructure, battery storage and other technologies.

“We will continue to advocate for state approval of utility-owned renewable generation for the benefit of our customers and all New Yorkers. We remain confident in New York, and in our ability to meet the needs of the clean energy future, while maintaining a safe, cost-effective system that delivers world class reliability for our customers,” Cawley added.

Con Edison was represented by Barclays as financial advisor and Latham & Watkins, LLP as legal advisor.
