The Indemnifying Party may participate in and control the defense of any third-party suit, action or proceeding at its own expense, provided that the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to be responsible for the full amount of the Aggrieved Party's Damages attributable to such suit, action or proceeding.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3(b), the Aggrieved Party shall not settle any Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.

    (b) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Claim or action or proceeding in respect thereof: (i) it shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof and shall hold the Aggrieved Party harmless from and against any and all Damages caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any judgment rendered in connection with such Claim, action or proceeding; and (ii) the Aggrieved Party agrees to cooperate and make available to the Indemnifying Party all books and records and such officers, employees and agents as are reasonably necessary and useful in connection with the defense.  The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of such claim, action or proceeding, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, except, in either event, with the prior consent of the Aggrieved Party unless the judgment or settlement: (w) does not provide for any remedy against the Aggrieved Party other than the payment of money; (x) the Indemnifying Party promptly pays all amounts required thereunder; (y) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Aggrieved Party of a release from all Liability in respect of such claim or litigation; and (z) such judgment or settlement could not be the basis of any claim or action by any third party (whether governmental or otherwise).  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Claim or action or proceeding in respect thereof, the Aggrieved Party will have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its own counsel at such Aggrieved Party's own expense.

    

    (c) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Claim, action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party agrees to: (i) cooperate and make available to the Aggrieved Party (A) all such books and records that are in the possession or control of the Indemnifying Party and (B) such officers, employees and agents of the Indemnifying Party that are reasonably necessary and useful in connection with the defense; and (ii) promptly grant consent to any reasonable settlement.

    ARTICLE IX - MISCELLANEOUS

    9.1 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective heirs, permitted successors, permitted assigns or legal representatives any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement.

    9.2 Amendment; Waiver.

    (a) This Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, nor may any provision of this Agreement be waived, other than through a written instrument adopted, executed and agreed to by the parties hereto.

    (b) A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any party hereto in the performance by such party of its obligations hereunder is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such party of the same or any other obligations of such party hereunder.  Failure on the part of any party hereto to complain of any act of any other party hereto or to declare any other party hereto in default hereunder, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by such party of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

    9.3 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each party hereto shall execute and deliver all such future instruments and take such further action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the intention of the parties as expressed herein.  Without limiting the foregoing, if any of the Acquired Assets is not assignable, or if the Company is not vested with good title to any of the Acquired Assets, for any reason, the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide the Company with the benefits and burdens of such Asset (or any right, benefit, obligation or duty arising thereunder, including the enforcement for the benefit of the Company of any and all rights of Sustainable Fuels Incorporated against a third party thereunder), notwithstanding the provisions of this agreement as otherwise delineated.

    9.5 Specific Performance. Each party acknowledges that the other parties would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms, and that any material breach of this Agreement by such party could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone.  Therefore, to assure the other parties that they will obtain the bargained-for benefits of this Agreement, such party, in addition to any other right or remedy to which it may be entitled, shall also be entitled to obtain injunctive relief, including a decree of specific performance, and to obtain temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking and without the necessity of proving actual damages, except to the extent required by any court of competent jurisdiction.

    (a) This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of law principles of such state. 

    (b) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in Delaware, and appropriate appellate courts therefrom, over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts.  The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.  This consent to jurisdiction is being given solely for purposes of this Agreement and is not intended to, and shall not, confer consent to jurisdiction with respect to any other dispute in which a party to this Agreement may become involved.  Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature specified in this subsection (b) by the mailing of a copy thereof in the manner specified by the provisions of Section 9.4.

    9.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future Legal Requirements effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.  Furthermore, in lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

    9.9 Waiver of Punitive and Exemplary Damage Claims. EACH PARTY, BY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, ANY CLAIMS TO RECOVER PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR SIMILAR DAMAGES NOT MEASURED BY THE PREVAILING PARTY'S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY ARISING UNDER, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.

    9.10 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, shall be paid by the party incurring such expense.

    9.11 Headings. The descriptive headings used herein are inserted for convenience of reference only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement, and shall not affect in any manner the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

    

    9.12 Counterparts; Exchange by Electronic Transmission. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including facsimile counterparts), all of which together shall constitute a single instrument. The Parties may execute this Agreement, as well as any of the Transaction Documents and exchange on the Closing Date, counterparts of such documents by means of electronic mail and the Parties agree that the receipt of such executed counterparts shall be binding.

    9.13 Attorneys' Fees.  If any legal action or any arbitration or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled.
