&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Parties agree that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, and any applicable state or local income Tax purposes, the Purchase Price, as adjusted under this Agreement, plus any Liabilities or other items treated as amounts realized for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, shall be allocated among the assets of the TE HoldCo in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (including the application of Sections 741, 751, 752, and 755 of the Code), including for purposes of the statement required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.751-1(a)(3) and in each case in a manner consistent with the appraisal and the related cost segregation report obtained pursuant to the Tax Equity Agreement (the "*Allocation Schedule*"). On or before the 30th day after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller its proposed Allocation Schedule for Seller's review and comment. Purchaser will work in good faith to incorporate Seller's reasonable comments, at which time the Allocation Schedule shall become binding for the Parties. Seller, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall report the transactions contemplated hereby on all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594, in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. Seller and Purchaser agree to: (i) be bound by the Allocation Schedule agreed upon under this *Section 2.06(c)*; (ii) prepare and file, and cause their respective Affiliates to prepare and file, all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule; and (iii) take no position, and cause their respective Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule in any Tax Return, except as required by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Upon the making of the initial capital contribution to be made by the Tax Equity Investor to the TE HoldCo in respect of the First Funded Project, and the issuance to the Tax Equity Investor of the Class A membership interests in the TE HoldCo pursuant to the Tax Equity ECCA on the Project MC Funding Date in respect of the First Funded Project, and the making of the capital contribution to be made by the Class B HoldCo in respect of the First Funded Project to the TE HoldCo, which shall be deemed to occur prior to the Closing, in accordance with Revenue Ruling 99-5, Situation 2, each of Seller and the Tax Equity Investor is treated as contributing cash or property to the TE Holdco in respect of the First Funded Project in exchange for an interest in the TE HoldCo, as a result of which the TE HoldCo shall become a partnership between Seller and the Tax Equity Investor for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) On the date of the Project MC Funding in respect of each Project, the TE HoldCo will acquire, and the Project HoldCo will sell, all the limited liability company membership interests of the applicable Pledgor Company that indirectly owns the such Project (and, indirectly, all the limited liability company interests in the applicable Project Company that directly owns such Project).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **No Consent**. Except as set forth on *Schedule 3.01(c)* of the Disclosure Schedules (the "*Seller Consents*"), and except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to (i) the ability of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations hereunder, or (ii) the Acquired Companies, taken as a whole, the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement does not require Seller to obtain any consent, approval or action of or give any notice to any Person as a result or under any terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract or Permit by which it is bound.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **No Conflicts**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) **Legal Proceedings**.

None of Seller or any Acquired Company is subject to any Order which materially restricts the operation of its business or which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) **Brokers**.

Each Acquired Company is duly qualified, licensed or admitted to do business and is in good standing in the applicable jurisdictions specified in *Schedule 3.01(i)* of the Disclosure Schedules, which are the only jurisdictions in which the ownership, use or leasing of such Acquired Company's assets, or the conduct or nature of its businesses, makes such qualification, licensing or admission necessary, except in those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or admitted to do business would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) All of the issued and outstanding Acquired Interests are owned directly, beneficially and of record by Seller free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Equity Encumbrances and except as set forth on *Schedule 3.01(i)(ii)* of the Disclosure Schedules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) **Environmental**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Except as set forth on *Schedule 3.01(p)(i)* of the Disclosure Schedules, the Acquired Companies are in compliance with all Environmental Laws, except to the extent that any such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no material violation of any Environmental Law or other material Liability arising under any Environmental Law with respect to the Projects or the Land.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) There are no Actions or Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened as of the Execution Date against Seller (solely in respect of the Projects or the Acquired Companies), or the Acquired Companies, relating to any material violation of Environmental Law. None of Seller or any Acquired Company has received written notice from any Governmental Authority of any material violation of any Environmental Law in respect of the Projects or the Acquired Companies (other than those violations that have been resolved or remedied).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) *Schedule 3.01(p)(iii)* of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth, as of the Execution Date, all material Permits required pursuant to any Environmental Law to be acquired or held by or for the benefit of Seller or Acquired Companies for the development, construction, ownership, use or operation of the Land or the business of the Acquired Companies as currently conducted. Except as set forth in *Schedule 3.01(p)(iii)* of the Disclosure Schedules, such Permits have been obtained in a timely manner and are presently maintained in full force and effect in the name of an Acquired Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Except as set forth on *Schedule 3.01(p)(iv)* of the Disclosure Schedules, to the Knowledge of Seller, there has been no Release of Hazardous Substances at or from the Projects in violation of Environmental Laws or Permits required by or issued pursuant to any Environmental Law for the development, construction, ownership, use or operation of the Land or the business of the Acquired Companies as currently conducted that would be reasonably expected to trigger any obligation of Seller or the Acquired Companies under Environmental Laws to report, investigate, remove or remediate such Release, or that would be reasonably expected to result in a material liability or interfere materially with the development, construction, ownership or operations of any Project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Seller has made available to Purchaser all material environmental reports, assessments and documents that are in the possession of Seller or the Acquired Companies and that relate to actual or potential material Liabilities under Environmental Laws with respect to the Projects or the Land.

Except as set forth in *Schedule 3.01(q)(i)* of the Disclosure Schedules, such Permits have been obtained in a timely manner and are presently maintained in full force and effect in the name of an Acquired Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Except as set forth on *Schedule 3.01(q)(ii)* of the Disclosure Schedules, and except as relates to compliance with Environmental Laws which is exclusively and solely governed by *Section 3.01(p)*, Seller and the Acquired Companies are in material compliance with each such Permit, and in compliance with the FPA and PUHCA, except where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and have received no written notice of violation or noncompliance from any Governmental Authority which violation or noncompliance has not been remedied or any written notice or claim asserting or alleging that any such Permit: (*A*) is not in full force and effect; or (*B*) is subject to any Action or Proceeding or unsatisfied condition, in each case of clause (A) and (B) which has not been remedied or resolved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) There are no proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened which would reasonably be expected to result in the modification, revocation or termination of any material Permit set forth in *Schedule 3.01(q)(i)* of the Disclosure Schedules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) **Affiliate Transactions**. Except for: (*i*) transactions (*A*) disclosed on *Schedule 3.01(r)* of the Disclosure Schedules, (*B*) under the Company Contracts disclosed on *Schedule 3.01(m)(i)* of the Disclosure Schedules, or (C) entered into following the Execution Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (*ii*) this Agreement, there are no existing or pending transactions, Contracts or Liabilities between or among any Acquired Company on the one hand, and Seller or any of Seller's Affiliates (other than any other Acquired Company), or any officer or director of Seller or any of Seller's Affiliates, on the other hand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(s) **Intellectual Property**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To the Knowledge of Seller, except as set forth in *Schedule 3.01(s)(i)* of the Disclosure Schedules, there is not now and has not been during the past three (3) years any infringement or misappropriation by Seller of any valid patent, trademark, trade name, servicemark, copyright, trade secret or similar intellectual property which relates to the Acquired Interests or the assets of the Acquired Companies and which is owned by any third party, and there is not now any existing or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened claim against Seller of infringement or misappropriation of any patent, trademark, trade name, servicemark, copyright trade secret or similar intellectual property which directly relates to the Acquired Interests or the assets of the Acquired Companies and which is owned by any third party and which, in each case, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each Acquired Company owns or has the valid right to use pursuant to license, sublicense, agreement or permission, in each case free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, any intellectual property necessary for it to conduct its business as currently conducted, other than such intellectual property the absence of which ownership or the right to use would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) There is no pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened claim by Seller against others for infringement or misappropriation of any trademark, trade name, servicemark, copyright, trade secret or similar intellectual property owned by Seller and which is utilized in the conduct of the business of the Acquired Companies that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(t) **Insurance**. *Schedule 3.01(t)* of the Disclosure Schedules contains a true, correct and complete list of all insurance policies as of the Execution Date that insure the assets and properties and business of the Acquired Companies or affect or relate to the ownership of any of the assets and properties the Acquired Companies. Seller has delivered to Purchaser detailed summaries of all the insurance policies set forth on *Schedule 3.01(t)* of the Disclosure Schedules, all of which are in full force and effect. None of Seller or any Acquired Company has received any notice with respect to the assets and properties and business of the Acquired Companies from any insurer under any insurance policy applicable to the assets and properties and business of the Acquired Companies disclaiming coverage, reserving rights with respect to a particular claim or such policy in general or canceling any such policy. All premiums due and payable under all such policies have been paid and the terms of such policies have been complied with by Seller and the Acquired Companies, as applicable, in all material respects. The insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Acquired Companies is adequate to comply with all Laws and Company Contracts. Except as set forth on *Schedule 3.01(t)* of the Disclosure Schedules, there are no pending insurance claims. Seller expects insurance coverage for property damage and business interruption for the Projects as described in the property and casualty policies set forth on *Schedule 3.01(t)* of the Disclosure Schedules to continue in all material respects after the Closing Date. Furthermore, at the expiration of such policies, Seller expects the aforementioned policies to be renewed with terms substantially identical to those described in the policies above.

Except as set forth on *Schedule 3.01(v)* of the Disclosure Schedules, between the Balance Sheets Date (except as otherwise indicated in subparagraph (vii) below) and the Execution Date, there has not been:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any repurchase, redemption or other acquisition of any equity interests of any Acquired Company or any interests convertible into equity interests of any Acquired Company or any other change in the capitalization or ownership of any Acquired Companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any material change in accounting policies or practices (including any change in depreciation or amortization policies) of any Acquired Company, except as required under GAAP;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) any sale, lease (as lessor), transfer or other disposal of (including any transfers to any of its Affiliates), or mortgage or pledge, or imposition of any Lien on, any of assets or properties of any Acquired Company, or interests therein, other than: (*A*) inventory and personal property sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business; and (*B*) Permitted Liens;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) any creation, incurrence, assumption or guarantee, or agreement to create, incur, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness for borrowed money or entry into any "keep well" or other agreement to maintain the financial condition of another Person, or any arrangement having the economic effect of any of the foregoing (including entering into, as lessee, any capitalized lease obligations as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13), in each case, by any Acquired Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) any event, circumstance, condition or change relating or with respect to any Acquired Company that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(w) **Bank Accounts**. *Schedule 3.01(w)* of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth the names and locations of banks, trust companies and other financial institutions at which any Acquired Company maintains bank accounts or safe deposit boxes, in each case listing the type of account, the account number, and the names of all Persons authorized to draw thereupon or who have access thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) **Regulatory Status**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) As of the date each Project Company first delivers test energy, such Project Company shall be an "Exempt Wholesale Generator." As an Exempt Wholesale Generator, such Project Company shall be exempt from PUHCA to the extent provided for in 18 C.F.R. § 366.7(e), except as otherwise may be applicable under Section 1265 of PUHCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) As of the date an Acquired Company acquires a direct or indirect equity interest in any Project Company, each such Acquired Company will become a "holding company," as defined in PUHCA, with respect to its direct or indirect, as applicable, ownership of such Project Company (if such Acquired Company has already acquired an interest in another Project Company and such other Project Company has already delivered test energy and/or already owns energized interconnection facilities) and, therefore, each such Acquired Company is entitled to the exemptions and waivers set forth in 18 C.F.R. § 366.3(a). As of the earlier of the date each Project Company first delivers test energy owns energized interconnection facilities, each Acquired Company that directly or indirectly owns any equity interests in such Project Company will become a "holding company," as defined in PUHCA, solely with respect to its direct or indirect, as applicable, ownership of such Project Company (unless such Acquired Company has already acquired an interest in another Project Company) and, therefore, each such Acquired Company is entitled to the exemptions and waivers set forth in 18 C.F.R. § 366.3(a). Neither Project Company is a "holding company" as defined under PUHCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) As of the Closing Date, Purchaser, solely by virtue of its indirect ownership of each Project Company, will not be subject to, or will not lose the exemption from: (*A*) regulation under PUHCA as an "electric utility company," a "public utility company," or a "holding company," or an "affiliate" or "subsidiary company" of any of the foregoing, in each case as defined under PUHCA, except to the extent such regulation under PUHCA applies to a "holding company" solely with respect to one or more Exempt Wholesale Generators; (*B*) regulation as a "public utility" under the FPA; or (*C*) regulation by the CaPUC as a "public utility" or an "electrical corporation."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) As of the date that each Project Company first delivers test energy, the such Project Company shall be a "public utility" as that term is defined under FPA Section 201(e) and shall have received MBR Authorization. No Acquired Company is subject to regulation by the CaPUC as a "public utility" or, other than such Project Company, an "electrical corporation."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(y) **Support Obligations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Part I of *Schedule 3.01(y)* of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth a true, complete and correct list of all the Support Obligations for which Purchaser shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to replace and/or effect the release of pursuant to *Section 5.07(a)*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(z) **Reports**. Seller has made available to Purchaser true, complete and correct copies of all Reports delivered pursuant to the Tax Equity ECCA as of the Execution Date. As of the Closing Date, Seller has made available to Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of all Reports that were not made available to Purchaser on the Execution Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(aa) **Projections**. Seller has prepared the financial projections for the Acquired Companies, which are reflected in the Base Case Model (the "*Projections*"), in good faith. To the Knowledge of Seller, the Projections: (*i*) are based on reasonable assumptions; (*ii*) reflect all material payments to be made by the Acquired Companies to Seller or its Affiliates; and (iii) as to operation and maintenance expenses, are consistent in all material respects with Prudent Industry Practices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(bb) **Solvency**. There are no bankruptcy, reorganization or receivership proceedings pending against, being contemplated by or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened in writing against, Seller or any Acquired Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(cc) **No Other Warranties**. Except for the warranties set forth herein, the Acquired Interests are being sold hereunder on an "as is," "where is" basis. The warranties set forth herein are exclusive and are in lieu of all other warranties, whether statutory, written or oral, express or implied; Seller provides no other warranties with respect to the Acquired Interests, the Projects, the ACQUIRED COMPANIES, or the assets of the ACQUIRED COMPANIES, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade, all of which are expressly disclaimed. Except as expressly set forth in *Section 3.01*, Seller makes no representation or warranty to Purchaser with respect to any financial projections, forecasts or forward looking statements of any kind or nature whatsoever relating to the Projects, the ACQUIRED COMPANIES, the assets of the ACQUIRED COMPANIES or the Acquired Interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **No Consent***.* Except as disclosed on *Schedule 3.02(c)* of the Disclosure Schedules, and except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations hereunder, the execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement does not require Purchaser to obtain any consent, approval or action of or give any notice to any Person as a result or under any terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract by which it is bound.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **No Conflicts***.* The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser does not and will not: (*i*) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, Purchaser's Constitutive Documents, or any material Contract to which Purchaser is a party; (*ii*) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the assets or properties of Purchaser; or (*iii*) accelerate or modify, or give any party the right to accelerate or modify, the time within which, or the terms under which, any duties or obligations are to be performed by Purchaser, or any rights or benefits are to be received by any Person, under any material Contract to which Purchaser is a party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) **Legal Proceedings**. There are no Actions or Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, threatened as of the Execution Date against Purchaser that affects Purchaser or any of its assets or properties which would reasonably be expected to result in the issuance of an Order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Any refund, rebate or similar payment received by any Acquired Company for any income Tax or Transfer Tax (other than Transfer Taxes governed under *Section 5.08(a)*) attributable to the pre-Closing Date period, as determined above, shall be for the benefit of Seller; and any such refund, rebate or similar payment attributable to the post-Closing Date period, as determined above, shall be for the benefit of the applicable Acquired Company.

After the Closing Date, each Acquired Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, timely prepare and file, or cause to be timely prepared and filed, with the appropriate authorities all other Tax Returns required to be filed by such Acquired Company, and pay all Taxes shown to be due thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, employees and agents reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns of each Acquired Company, including maintaining and making available to each other all records that are necessary for the preparation of any Tax Returns that the Party is required to file under this *Section 5.08*, and in resolving all Actions or Proceedings, and audits or examinations with respect to such Tax Returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this *Section 5.08* shall be subject to, and the Seller's rights pursuant to this *Section 5.08* shall be limited to the extent inconsistent with, the terms of the Tax Equity Documents and the rights of the parties thereunder.

For purposes hereof, "*Acquisition Proposal*" shall mean (other than with respect to the transactions contemplated by any Financing Document and the TE HoldCo MIPA) any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person concerning: (*i*) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving the Acquired Companies; (*ii*) the issuance or acquisition of equity securities of the Acquired Companies; or (*iii*) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any significant portion of the Acquired Companies' properties or assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.05. *Procedure for Indemnification of Third Party Claims***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Notice**. Whenever any claim by a third party shall arise for indemnification under this *Article 6*, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim and, if known, the notice shall specify the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom. The Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnifying Party copies of all material notices and documents (including court papers) received or transmitted by the Indemnified Party relating to such claim. The failure or delay of the Indemnified Party to deliver prompt written notice of a claim shall not affect the indemnity obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party was actually disadvantaged by such failure or delay in delivery of notice of such claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Settlement of Losses**. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense of any claim by a third party which may give rise to indemnity hereunder pursuant to this *Article 6*, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, consent to the entry of a judgment of or compromise such claim without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Indemnifying Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.06. *Rights of the Indemnifying Party in the Defense of Third Party Claims***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Right to Assume the Defense**. In connection with any claim by a third party which may give rise to indemnity hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after the date the Indemnifying Party is notified of such claim by the Indemnified Party to assume the defense of any such claim, which defense shall be prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settlement in accordance with the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Procedure**. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall: (*i*) select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such claim; and (*ii*) take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof, at its sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such claim, with its own counsel and at its sole cost and expense; *provided* that, if the claim includes allegations for which the Indemnifying Party both would and would not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall in that case jointly assume the defense thereof. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall fully cooperate with each other and their respective counsel in the defense or settlement of such claim. The Party in charge of the defense shall keep the other Party appraised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Settlement of Losses**. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Decline to Assume the Defense**. The Indemnified Party may defend against any such claim, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, in such manner as it may deem reasonably appropriate, including settling such claim in accordance with the terms hereof, if: (*i*) the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim resulting therefrom within thirty (30) days after the date the Indemnifying Party is notified of such claim by the Indemnified Party; or (*ii*) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party is: (*A*) not diligently defending the Indemnified Party; (*B*) not contesting such claim in good faith through appropriate proceedings; or (*C*) has not taken such action (including the posting of a bond, deposit or other security) as may be necessary to prevent any action to foreclose a Lien against or attachment of any asset or property of the Indemnified Party for payment of such claim; *provided* that, in the case of this clause (ii), the Indemnified Party will provide written notice to the Indemnifying Party of Indemnified Party's conclusion, and Indemnifying Party shall have failed to take the applicable actions within thirty (30) days of such written notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.07. *Direct Claims***. In the event that any Indemnified Party has a claim against any Indemnifying Party which may give rise to indemnity hereunder that does not involve a claim brought by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the claim and the facts constituting the basis for such claim and, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from receipt of such claim notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder; *provided* that if the Indemnifying Party does notify the Indemnified Party that it disputes such claim within the required thirty (30) day period, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to such claim. If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Parties. If such Parties shall not agree, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to take any action in law or in equity as such Indemnified Party shall deem necessary to enforce the provisions of this *Article 6* against the Indemnifying Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.08. *Exclusive Remedy***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.11. *Severability***.

Each Party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such Action or Proceeding may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Party may otherwise have to bring any Action or Proceeding relating to this Agreement against the other Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action or Proceeding in any such court.

Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.14. *Waiver of Jury Trial***. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION TO ENFORCE OR INTERPRET THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THAT OTHERWISE RELATES TO THIS AGREEMENT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.15. *Limitation on Certain Damages***. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, SPECULATIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (COLLECTIVELY, "*CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES*") FOR ANY REASON WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE OTHER PARTY'S SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT; *PROVIDED* THAT ANY LOSSES ARISING OUT OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS FOR WHICH A PARTY IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.16. *Disclosures***. Seller or Purchaser may, at its option, include in the Disclosure Schedules items that are not material in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and any such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment or representation that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement. In no event shall the inclusion of any matter in the Disclosure Schedules be deemed or interpreted to broaden Seller's or Purchaser's representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation nor the mere inclusion of any item in a schedule or in the Disclosure Schedules as an exception to a representation or warranty shall be deemed an admission by a Party that such item represents a material fact, event or circumstance or that such item is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect on, the Target Company, the Acquired Companies or Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.17. *PDF Signature; Counterparts****.* This Agreement may be executed by PDF signature in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
