 (i) Any purported action in violation of this Section 2 shall be null and void and of no force and effect whatsoever.

 SECTION 3. Satisfaction of Obligations Under Assumption Deed. 
  
 (a) Without limiting Bermuda’s obligations under the Assumption Deed, to
the extent that funding under the Policy is available in respect of obligations of AWA to PDC under the AWA Indemnity Agreement, Bermuda shall apply such proceeds by making payment directly to PDC or API or to vendors or other third persons entitled
to payment thereof, in each case in a manner consistent with the terms of the AWA Indemnity Agreement, in satisfaction of its obligations under the Assumption Deed and the obligations of AWA under the AWA Indemnity Agreement. 
  
 (b) With respect to all other amounts payable by Bermuda pursuant to the
terms of the Assumption Deed, i.e. other than in satisfaction of AWA’s obligations to PDC under the AWA Indemnity Agreement, Bermuda shall make such payments to AWA or such other person as AWA may designate from time to time; provided that in
the event of a default by AWA in the payment of its indemnification obligations under Section 4 hereof, no payments shall be made to AWA or its designee until such obligations have been satisfied in full. 
  
 (c) Bermuda shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect funds under
the Policy as promptly as amounts are available for payment under the terms of the Policy. 
  
 (d) In the event AWA has not made or caused to be made a payment under the AWA Indemnity when due and payable (a “Late Payment”), PDC or PDC Sub may unilaterally cause Bermuda to make, and
Bermuda agrees to make, such Indemnity Claims (as defined in the Policy) and submit such Invoice Approval Packages (as defined in the Policy) as PDC may deem appropriate to procure the Insurer’s payment of such Late Payment (so long as in
accordance with the terms of the Policy). 
  
 SECTION 4. Tax
Treatment. 
  
 (a) For so long as AWA continues to satisfy its
obligation, if any, to indemnify the PDC Parties in accordance with subsection 4(c) below, (i) the parties agree to cause Bermuda to be classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes and (ii) PDC agrees that it shall, and
shall cause PDC Sub to, report all of the U.S. taxable income reportable by Bermuda in connection with its ownership of the Policy. In the event AWA fails to satisfy its obligation to indemnify PDC Parties in accordance with clause (c) below, PDC or
PDC Sub may unilaterally cause Bermuda to revoke its election to be classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes and PDC shall be relieved of its obligation to report in accordance with clause (ii) above. 
  
 (b) AWA shall cause Bermuda to provide to PDC, a reasonable time prior to the
due date for the filing thereof, written notice of U.S. taxable income to be reported consistent with clause (a), including information sufficient to enable PDC to comply with its tax reporting obligations. 
  
 (c) AWA hereby covenants to indemnify and hold harmless the PDC Parties from
and against any and all increases in Taxes of a PDC Party or another Member of the Buyers’ Group (as defined in the AWA Indemnity Agreement) which in any way relate to or arise from Bermuda, including Taxes arising from the receipt of any
indemnification payment hereunder. 
  

 6 

 (d) AWA’s indemnity set forth in clause (c) shall be governed, to the extent appropriate in the
context, by the procedural provisions set forth in Sections 4.1 and 5.1 of the AWA Indemnity Agreement. By way of illustration and without limitation of the foregoing: 
  
 (i) AWA shall make payments to the PDC parties prior to the time that the PDC Parties are obligated to pay
indemnified Taxes, so that the PDC Parties are never out of pocket in respect thereof. 
  
 (ii) The PDC Parties shall provide to AWA for AWA’s review, a reasonable time prior to filing, copies of the PDC Parties’ tax
returns reporting taxable income in respect of the Bermuda. 
  
 (iii) The Parties shall cooperate in respect of Bermuda tax matters as provided in Section 5.1.5 of the AWA Indemnity Agreement. 
  

(e) If there shall be any change in United States, United Kingdom or Bermuda tax law, regulation or ratings relevant to the relationships described in
this Agreement, or a change in any party’s tax status, at the request of either the PDC Parties or AWA, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend (in accordance with Sections 2 and 9 hereof) the relationships and tax treatment
summarized herein. 
  
 SECTION 5. Representations and
Warranties. 
  
 (a) The AWA Parties, jointly and severally,
represent and warrant that (i) AWA is the sole stockholder of AWA Sub and (ii) attached hereto as Exhibit 5(a) are true, complete and correct copies of the AWA Sub Constitutional Documents. 
  
 (b) The PDC Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant that (i)
PDC is the sole stockholder of PDC Sub and (ii) attached hereto as Exhibit 5(b) are true, complete and correct copies of the PDC Sub Constitutional Documents. 
  
 SECTION 6. Payment of Certain Obligations. 
  
 (a) AWA shall provide AWA Sub, and AWA and AWA Sub shall provide Bermuda, with sufficient funds to meet its statutory and
other ordinary course obligations. 
  
 (b) PDC shall provide PDC
Sub with sufficient funds to meet its statutory and other ordinary course obligations. 
  
 SECTION 7. Access to Books and Records. To the extent permitted by antitrust and other applicable laws, the parties shall allow each other reasonable access to their books and records, and to personnel having
knowledge of the whereabouts and/or contents of their books and records, for purposes of confirming compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Any such access to and review shall be permitted and conducted only during normal business hours and
upon reasonable notice. Each party shall be entitled to recover its out-of-pocket costs (including, without limitation, copying costs and a reasonable charge for employee time) incurred in providing their books and records and/or personnel. The
requesting party shall hold in confidence all confidential information identified as such by the disclosing party or any of its 

  

 7 

 
officers, agents, representatives or employees; provided, however, that information that (i) was in the public domain; (ii) was in fact known
to the requesting party prior to disclosure by the disclosing party or its officers, agents, representatives or employees; (iii) becomes known to the requesting party from or through a third party not under an obligation of non-disclosure to the
disclosing party; or (iv) any party is required by law, rule or regulation (of any applicable stock or securities exchange or otherwise) or otherwise deems necessary and proper to disclose in connection with the filing of any tax return or other
document required to be filed with, or as required by, any governmental authority, shall not be deemed to be confidential information. In addition, the parties agree that confidential information shall not be used for any purpose other than the
specific purpose for which it was supplied. 
  
 SECTION 8.
Dispute Resolution. 
  
 (a) The AWA Parties, on the one
hand, and the PDC Parties, on the other hand, shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute or difference between or among the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation between executives of the relevant
parties who have authority to settle the controversy within fifteen (15) days after delivery of a notice of a dispute by one or more parties to the others. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 8(a) are confidential and shall be treated as
compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. 
  
 (b) Any dispute or difference between or among the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement which has not been resolved by negotiation pursuant to Section 8(a) within fifteen (15) days as therein provided,
shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the CPR Rules of Non-Administered Arbitration in effect on November 9, 2001, by a mutually acceptable single arbitrator designated by the respective parties. If the parties are unable to agree on an
arbitrator within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the negotiation period described in Section 8(a), an arbitrator shall be selected by the Center for Public Resources pursuant to the procedures set forth in its Rule 6.4.b or by such
other procedures as the parties may elect. In order to expedite the process of selecting an arbitrator, the parties shall use their best efforts to agree upon a standby arbitrator and an alternate within thirty (30) days following November 9, 2001,
and within thirty (30) days following the resignation or inability of any such standby arbitrator or alternate to serve. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, and judgment upon the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitration shall be governed by the law of the State of
New York. The arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages and each party expressly waives and foregoes any right to punitive, exemplary or similar damages unless a statute requires that compensatory damages be
increased in a specified manner. Following the final arbitration hearings, which shall be completed within thirty (30) days following the later of (i) the designation of the arbitrator and (ii) the expiration of the negotiation period described in
Section 8(a) unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties to the dispute, the arbitrator shall promptly deliver a written decision with respect to the dispute to each of the parties, who shall promptly act in accordance therewith. Each party
agrees that any decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding and that they will not contest any action by any other party thereto in accordance with a decision of the arbitrator. It is specifically understood and agreed that any
party may enforce any award rendered pursuant to 

  

 8 

 
the arbitration provisions of this Section 8(b) by bringing suit in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 (c) All reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees
and expenses) incurred by the party that prevails in any such arbitration commenced pursuant to Section 8(b) or any judicial action or proceeding seeking to enforce the agreement to arbitrate disputes as set forth in Section 8(b) or seeking to
enforce any order or award of any arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 8 may be assessed (in whole or in part) against the party or parties that do not prevail in such arbitration in such manner as the arbitrator or the court in such
judicial action, as the case may be, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances. All costs and expenses attributable to the arbitrator shall be allocated among the parties to the arbitration in such manner as the arbitrator shall
determine to be appropriate under the circumstances. 
  
 (d) The
parties hereto shall take all required steps in order to avoid any inconsistencies between the resolutions of disputes hereunder and resolutions of disputes under the AWA Indemnity Agreement including, without limitation, the consolidation of any
dispute resolution procedures.

parties’ respective successors and assigns.
