The Independent Expert shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific disputed matters submitted by any Party and may not award damages or penalties to any Party with respect to any matter. Seller and Buyer shall each bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case and indemnify and hold harmless the other Party with respect thereto. The Independent Expert shall also clearly state which Party’s position that the Independent Expert found more persuasive in its decision-making process, and the other Party shall bear 100% of the costs and expenses of the Independent Expert. Within ten (10) days after the date on which the Parties agree (or are deemed to agree) on the Final Settlement Statement or the Independent Expert finally determines the disputed matters, as applicable, (i) Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount by which the Final Settlement Amount exceeds the Closing Payment or (ii) Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount by which the Closing Payment exceeds the Final Settlement Amount, as applicable.

Section 6.7.Survival. The respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing; provided, however, that (i) all representations and warranties of the Parties set forth in this Agreement (other than, for purposes of clarity, the Fundamental Representations) and (ii) all covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement that contemplated to be fulfilled or performed prior to the Closing, shall survive the Closing until the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date; and provided further, however, that (A) the Fundamental Representations and (B) all covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement that are to be fulfilled or performed at or after the Closing (other than, for purposes of clarity, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.14 and Sections 3.16(h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (n) and (o) and the covenants and agreements set forth in Article 5, which shall each survive the Closing until the date that is thirty (30) days following expiration of the applicable statute of limitations), shall survive the Closing without time limit.

(b)by Seller, if the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 are not satisfied through no fault of Seller, or are not waived by Seller, as of the Closing Date;

(c)by Buyer, if the conditions set forth in Section 2.5 are not satisfied through no fault of Buyer, or are not waived by Buyer, as of the Closing Date;

(d)by Seller, if Closing has not occurred, other than by the failure of Seller to fully comply with its obligations under this Agreement or the breach by Seller of this Agreement, and such failure to close is not otherwise caused by Seller, by the Outside Date;

(e)by Buyer, if Closing has not occurred, other than by the failure of Buyer to fully comply with its obligations under this Agreement or the breach by Buyer of this Agreement, and such failure to close is not otherwise caused by Buyer, by the Outside Date;

(f)by either Party if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate Law or any injunction in effect issued by a court of competent jurisdiction;

(g)by either Party if the Asset PSA is terminated in accordance with its terms; or

If Seller or Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1 and asserts that a breach of this Agreement has occurred or the other Party has failed to satisfy its obligations hereunder, the notice of termination shall include a statement describing the nature of the alleged breach or failure to perform together with supporting documentation.

(a)Buyer’s Default. If Closing does not occur because Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b), and all of the conditions to Closing of Buyer under Section 2.5 have been satisfied or waived, or Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d) and Seller is willing and able to close, Seller shall be entitled as its sole and exclusive remedy at law and in equity to terminate the Agreement. The Parties agree that the damages that would be suffered by SELLER as a result of Buyer’s breach would be difficult to estimate and that the liquidated damages described IN THE ASSET PSA represent a reasonable AND GOOD FAITH estimation of such damages and do not constitute a penalty. Buyer’s failure to close shall not be considered wrongful if (A) Buyer’s conditions under Section 2.5 are not satisfied through no fault of Buyer and are not waived by Buyer, or (B) Buyer has the right to terminate or has terminated this Agreement under Section 7.1.

(b)Seller’s Default; Other Termination. If Buyer is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.1(e), and as of the Outside Date all of the conditions to Closing of Seller under Section 2.4 have been satisfied or waived and Buyer is willing and able to close, then Buyer shall be entitled to, at its option, (1) obtain specific performance of this Agreement in lieu of termination and recover all actual, direct damages incurred by Buyer in connection with enforcing such specific performance or (2) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.1(e), as applicable, and seek out-of-pocket costs paid by it and its Affiliates in connection with the terminated transaction, including brokers, agents, advisors and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Each Party acknowledges that the remedies at Law of Buyer for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Seller as contemplated pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) may be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, Buyer, without posting any bond or the necessity or proving the inadequacy as a remedy of monetary damages, and in addition to all other remedies that may be available, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy that may then be available. Seller’s failure to close shall not be considered wrongful if (i) Seller’s conditions under Section 2.4 are not satisfied through no fault of Seller and are not waived by Seller or (ii) Seller has terminated this Agreement as of right under Section 7.1(b).
