Relief Requested

1. The Debtors seek entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto, (a) authorizing the Debtors to enter into and perform under a purchase and sale agreement for the purchase of the Gathering System (as defined below) (the “PSA”), (b) authorizing and approving the Debtors’ settlement of the dispute regarding the proposed rejection of the lease between Debtor Ultra Wyoming LGS, LLC. and Pinedale Corridor, LP (“Pinedale” and, together with the Debtors, the “Parties”), the terms of which are incorporated into the PSA, attached hereto asExhibit A, and (c) granting related relief.

Jurisdiction and Venue

2. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Court”) has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334. This is a core

²	Certain background information on the Debtors and the facts and circumstances regarding the filing of these chapter 11 cases are set forth in theDeclaration of Brad Johnson in Support of Chapter 11 Petitions and First Day Motions[Docket No. 14] (the “First Day Declaration”).

proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b). The Debtors confirm their consent, pursuant to rule 7008 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), to the entry of a final order by the Court in connection with this motion to the extent that it is later determined that the Court, absent consent of the parties, cannot enter final orders or judgments in connection herewith consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution.

Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

The bases for the relief requested herein are sections 105(a), 362(d), 363(b), and 365(a) of chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 9019, and rule 9013 of the Bankruptcy Local Rules for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Local Rules”).

Background

5. The Debtors are independent exploration and production companies that primarily focus on developing long-life natural gas reserves in the Pinedale Anticline and Jonah fields located in Wyoming’s Green River Basin. They are party to various agreements with midstream service providers that gather, compress, and process natural gas from the Debtors’ fields. The Debtors’ customer base is a diverse group of third party,non-affiliated entities that buy the Debtors’ natural gas “as produced” and is located across the United States. The Debtors’ headquarters are in Englewood, Colorado. In fiscal year 2019, the Debtors earned approximately $742 million in revenue from their operations

6. Debtor Ultra Wyoming LGS, LLC (“Ultra LGS”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Debtor Ultra Wyoming, LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Debtor Ultra Resources, Inc. (“Ultra Resources”).

7. On May 14, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Debtors filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are operating their businesses and managing their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On May 15, 2020, the Court granted the Debtors’ motion for procedural consolidation and joint administration of these chapter 11 cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b) [Docket No. 36]. On May 29, 2020, the United States Trustee for the Southern District of Texas (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 174]. No request for an appointment of a trustee or examiner has been made in these chapter 11 cases.

Pinedale LGS Lease

8. On December 7, 2012, Ultra Wyoming, LLC and Pinedale entered into a purchase and sale agreement whereby Ultra Wyoming, LLC sold Pinedale certain facilities and pipelines located in Sublette County, Wyoming that gather liquids (condensate and water, together with associated natural gas) from wells operated by Ultra Resources in the Pinedale Anticline field, along with related personal property,rights-of-ways and easements (collectively, the “Gathering System”).

9. On December 20, 2012, Ultra LGS and Pinedale entered into a lease agreement (the “Pinedale LGS Lease”) under which Pinedale leased the Gathering System to Ultra LGS in exchange for monthly rental payments totaling at least $20 million per year, subject to inflation and volume adjustments, through 2027. Ultra LGS is responsible for maintenance, repair, utilities, tax, insurance, and other related costs.

10. Debtor Ultra Petroleum Corp. is a guarantor and Ultra Resources is a limited guarantor under the terms of the Pinedale LGS Lease and related guaranty agreements. Ultra Petroleum Corp.’s filing of its bankruptcy petition was an event of default under the Pinedale LGS Lease, necessitating Ultra LGS’s bankruptcy petition in order to obtain the benefit of the automatic stay and use the chapter 11 process to restructure its assets and liabilities, including examining its obligations under the Pinedale LGS Lease.

11. On May 15, 2020 Ultra LGS filed itsMotion for Entry of an Order Authorizing Rejection of the Pinedale LGS Lease Agreement (the “Lease Rejection Motion”) [Docket No. 17] asserting that, in its business judgment, rejecting the Lease was in the best interest of Debtors. In the Lease Rejection Motion, the Debtors state that utilizing the Gathering System pursuant to the terms of the Pinedale LGS Lease is burdensome. As explained in that motion, the Debtors could reject the Pinedale LGS Lease, “tie into” their existing SWEPI System, and dispose of their liquids by truck in the interim. Although it would require time and cost to obtain the proper permits and complete the construction necessary to tie into the SWEPI System—while in the interim trucking the liquids otherwise handled by the Gathering System—the Debtors believe that those costs are far outweighed (by a factor of over 10 times) by the lease obligations remaining under the Gathering System.

12. On June 5, 2020, Pinedale filed its objection to the Rejection Motion (the “Objection”) [Docket No. 204]. Pinedale challenged the Debtors’ business judgment, asserting that the costs and expenses to tie into the SWEPI System were greater than the Debtors had projected. Subsequently, the Debtors and Pinedale served discovery requests and deposition notices, and met and conferred on multiple occasions in anticipation of a hearing on the Lease Rejection Motion.

Negotiation of Purchase and Settlement

13. At the same time they progressed their litigation regarding the Lease Rejection Motion, the Parties engaged in weeks ofarm’s-length, hard-fought settlement negotiations. Ultimately, the Debtors and Pinedale reached an agreement in principle under which the Debtors will purchase the Gathering System and the Parties will end their litigation with a mutual release.

14. More specifically, the Debtors and Pinedale agreed to the terms on which the Debtors are prepared to purchase the Gathering System, which are memorialized in the PSA. The PSA provides for, among other things, at the closing of the PSA: (a) payment of a purchase price of $18 million to Pinedale for the Gathering System in accordance with the terms of the PSA; (b) Pinedale’s withdrawal of its Objection to the Lease Rejection Motion and consensual termination of the Pinedale LGS Lease; and (c) Pinedale and certain of its affiliates’ waiver and release of any damages claims (including rejection damages) ((a), (b), and (c), collectively, the “Settlement”). It is the intent of the Debtors and Pinedale to close the purchase of the Gathering System no later than June 30, 2020.

15. The Debtors negotiated the Settlement for several reasons.First, acquiring the Gathering System allows the Debtors to continue their ordinary course operations without interruption and removes the immediate need to incur significant capital expenditures and undergo significant efforts related to connecting to the SWEPI System (the Debtors’ other existing gathering system), which the Debtors would have had to do to replace and transition from the Gathering System.Second, the Settlement costs the Debtors just $18 million to purchase the Gathering System—not materially more than the risk-adjusted costs that the Debtors would have to expend in a rejection scenario to transition to the SWEPI System, but more than $100 million less than the remaining rent under the LGS Pinedale Lease.Third, the Settlement removes risks and uncertainties inherent in any potential capital expenditure to

upgrade the SWEPI System.Fourth, the Settlement removes any risk—albeit remote—that the Debtors would be unsuccessful in obtaining Court approval to reject the LGS Pinedale Lease.Fifth, the Settlement eliminates any litigation over an LGS unsecured rejection damages claim that would potentially dilute recoveries to other unsecured creditors.Sixth, the Debtors are obtaining a highly functional and efficient asset for only marginally more than the cost of retrofitting their current assets to meet the same needs.Seventh, the Settlement eliminates the need to investigate and determine a contingent indemnification claim which, if it were to materialize post-petition, Pinedale has indicated it would argue is entitled to administrative priority status.

16. Simply put, the overall terms of the purchase and Settlement are in the best interests of the Debtors and their estates and will ensure the Debtors have the capacity to continue production without interruption. Accordingly, the Debtors seek authorization to enter into the Settlement and all transactions contemplated therein.

Basis for Relief

I.	The Proposed Purchase Is a Sound Exercise of the Debtors’ Business Judgment.

17. Section 363(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code authorizes a debtor in possession to “use, sell, or lease, other than in the ordinary course of business, property of the estate,” after notice and a hearing. It is well-established in this jurisdiction that a debtor may use property of the estate outside the ordinary course of business under this provision if there is a good business reason for doing so.³ When a debtor demonstrates a valid business justification for a decision, a

See, e.g.,ASARCO, Inc. v. Elliott Mgmt. (In re ASARCO, L.L.C.), 650 F.3d 593, 601 (5th Cir. 2011) (“[F]or thedebtor-in-possession or trustee to satisfy its fiduciary duty to the debtor, creditors, and equity holders, there must be some articulated business justification for using, selling, or leasing the property outside the ordinary course of business.”) (quotingIn re Cont’l Air Lines, Inc., 780 F.3d 1223, 1226 (5th Cir. 1986));GBL Holding Co., Inc. v. Blackburn/Travis/Cole, Ltd. (In re State Park Bldg. Grp., Ltd.), 331 B.R. 251, 254 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. 2005);In re Filene’s Basement, LLC,No. 11-13511 (KJC) (Bankr. D. Del. Apr. 29, 2014) (stating that, under the business judgment standard, once the debtor presents “a reasonable basis for its business decisions . . . courts will generally not entertain objections to the debtor’s conduct”).

strong presumption arises “that in making [the] business decision the directors of a corporation acted on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the company.”⁴

18. Moreover, once a debtor articulates a valid business justification for its actions, courts should “give great deference to the substance of the directors’ decision and will not invalidate the decision, will not examine its reasonableness, and will not substitute its views for those of the board if the latter’s decision can be attributed to any rational business purpose.”⁵

19. Here, a sound business justification exists for the purchase of the Gathering System. While the Debtors originally proposed to reject the Pinedale LGS Lease pursuant to the Lease Rejection Motion, the Debtors recognize that the purchase of the Gathering System provides a more expedient resolution for the Debtors for not materially more costs than would have to be expended in the context of rejection. The purchase and continued operation of the Gathering System will require little to no additional capital expenditures (other than payment of the purchase price) and, because the Debtors already currently operate the asset on a leased basis, no transition risk. The Debtors will be able to continue their ordinary course operations without any immediate need to incur significant expenses or under significant efforts related to expanding the SWEPI System.

⁵

In re Global Crossing Ltd., 295 B.R. 726, 744 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2003) (citingParamount Commc’ns Inc. v.QVC Network Inc., 637 A.2d 34, 45 n.17 (Del. 1994));accord Integrated Res.,147 B.R. at 656 (presuming, based on the business judgment rule, “that in making a business decision the directors of [the debtor] acted on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action was in the best interests of the company”) (quotingSmith v. Van Gorkom, 488 A.2d 858, 872 (Del. 1985));In re Johns Manville Corp., 60 B.R. 612, 616 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1986) (“Where the debtor articulates a reasonable basis for its business decisions (as distinct from a decision made arbitrarily or capriciously), courts will generally not entertain objections to the debtor’s conduct.”);see also In re Idearc Inc., 423 B.R. 138, 162 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. 2009) (explaining that, “[i]n the absence of a showing of bad faith or an abuse of business discretion,” the court will not alter a debtor’ business judgment, while analyzing a debtor’s decision to assume/reject contracts).

20. Furthermore, Pinedale has agreed to withdraw its Objection and waive any potential rejection damages claim, so the Debtors will not be required to utilize any further estate resources on litigating these disputes. Overall, the purchase of the Gathering System is the most efficient, cost-effective path forward for the Debtors’ stakeholders and all parties in interest.

II.	The Agreement Satisfies the Standards of Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and Should Be Approved.

21. Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a) provides, in relevant part:

On motion by the [debtor in possession] and after notice and a hearing, the court may approve a compromise or settlement. Notice shall be given to creditors, the United States trustee, . . . and indenture trustee as provided in Rule 2002 and to any other entity as the court may direct.

“To minimize litigation and expedite the administration of a bankruptcy estate, [c]ompromises are favored in bankruptcy.”⁶ Settlements are considered a “normal part of the process of reorganization” and a “desirable and wise method[] of bringing to a close proceedings otherwise lengthy, complicated, and costly.”⁷ Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), a bankruptcy court may, after appropriate notice and a hearing, approve a compromise or settlement so long as the proposed settlement is fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of the estate.⁸ Ultimately, “the decision to approve a compromise lies within the sound discretion of the bankruptcy court.”⁹

22. InJackson Brewing, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit set forth a balancing test under which bankruptcy courts may analyze proposed settlements. The

⁶	Myers v. Martin (In re Martin), 91 F.3d 389, 393 (3d Cir. 1996).

⁷	Rivercity v. Herpel (In re Jackson Brewing Co.), 624 F.2d 599, 602 (5th Cir. 1980) (citations omitted).

⁸	See In re Age Ref. Inc., 801 F.3d 530, 540 (5th Cir. 2015).

⁹	See United States v. AWECO, Inc., 725 F.2d 293, 297 (5th Cir. 1984);Jackson Brewing, 624 F.2d at 602–03.

factors the Court must consider are: “(1) the probability of success in litigating the claim subject to settlement, with due consideration for the uncertainty in fact and law; (2) the complexity and likely duration of litigation and any attendant expense, inconvenience, and delay; and (3) all other factors bearing on the wisdom of the compromise.”¹⁰ Under the rubric of the third factor, the Fifth Circuit has specified two additional factors that bear on the decision to approve a proposed settlement. First, the court should consider “the paramount interest of creditors with proper deference to their reasonable views.”¹¹ Second, the court should consider the “extent to which the settlement is truly the product ofarm’s-length bargaining, and not of fraud or collusion.”¹²

23. Generally, the role of the bankruptcy court is not to decide the issues in dispute when evaluating a settlement.Watts v. Williams, 154 B.R. 56, 59 (S.D. Tex. 1993). Instead, the court should determine whether the settlement as a whole is fair and equitable.¹³

24. The Debtors easily satisfy these standards with respect to the proposed purchase here. The factors of theJackson Brewing balancing test, taken together, suggest that the proposed purchase and settlement here represents a fair and reasonable compromise and is in the best interest of the estate.

A.	Litigating the Issues Between the Debtors and Pinedale Would Be Costly.

25. With respect to “the probability of success in litigating the claim subject to settlement,” the Debtors certainly believe that they would prevail in litigating the Lease Rejection Motion. However, continued discovery and litigation would be costly. Further, if the

¹⁰	See Age Ref. Inc., 801 F.3d at 540 (internal citations omitted).

¹¹	Id.; Conn. Gen. Life Ins. Co. v. United Cos. Fin. Corp. (In re Foster Mortg. Corp.), 68 F.3d 914, 917 (5th Cir. 1995).

¹³	Protective Comm. for Indep. Stockholders of TMT Trailer Ferry, Inc. v. Anderson, 390 U.S. 414, 424 (1968).

Lease Rejection Motion were to be granted, continued litigation may ensue with respect to any potential rejection damages claim Pinedale may assert. The Settlement eliminates the need to investigate and determine a contingent indemnification claim which, if it were to materialize post-petition, Pinedale has indicated it would argue is entitled to administrative priority status. And, of course, there is some uncertainty with respect to any litigation.

Continued Litigation with Pinedale Would Be Complex and Result in Delay and Distraction.

26. With respect to “the complexity and likely duration of litigation and any attendant expense, inconvenience, and delay,” continued litigation with Pinedale over rejection and the amount of their rejection damages claims likely would be costly and time-consuming. Already, the Debtors and Pinedale have engaged in heavy, time-consuming negotiations. Should litigation continue, the Debtors would expect to take and defend depositions, including those of the Debtors’ senior management, thereby causing additional delay and distraction as the Debtors move towards confirmation of their prepackaged plan of reorganization. Overall, continued litigation between the Parties would require substantial focus from the Debtors’ management team, distracting them fromday-to-day operations and from successfully moving these cases toward a resolution.

The Settlement Is in the Best Interests of Creditors.

27. The proposed Settlement with Pinedale will provide the Debtors and their stakeholders with certainty regarding the resolution of the disputes between the Debtors and Pinedale, including with respect to the Lease Rejection Motion and any potential rejection damages claims from Pinedale. Further, the Settlement will allow the Debtors to continue operations without interference and without any immediate needs to incur significant expenses to tie into the SWEPI System, allowing the Debtors and their management to focus on their

restructuring efforts. And although, under the Settlement, the Debtors are purchasing the Gathering System for $18 million, that purchase price is not materially more than the risk-adjusted costs to transition to the SWEPI System even assuming the Debtors were to successfully reject the Pinedale LGS Lease, and in any event that purchase price is over $100 million less than the remaining rent over the life of the Pinedale LGS Lease. The Settlement reflects the result of anarm’s-length bargaining between the Debtors and Pinedale and comports with the Debtors’ business judgment.

The Settlement Is Supported by the Debtors’ Stakeholders.

28. Before filing this motion, the Debtors consulted regarding the settlement with all of their key creditor stakeholders or their respective advisors—including the first lien RBL agent, the ad hoc group of first lien term loan lenders, the ad hoc group of second lien noteholders, and the creditors’ committee. Each of these parties either actively support entry into the Settlement, or otherwise do not object to the relief sought. In addition, the Debtors are working with their stakeholders on an amendment to the restructuring support agreement to permit the proposed purchase under the Settlement, which they intend to have finalized in advance of the hearing.

29. Based on the foregoing considerations, the Debtors respectfully submit that the Settlement represents a fair and reasonable compromise that is in the best interest of the Debtors’ estates. Accordingly, the Debtors respectfully request that the Court authorize the Debtors to enter into and perform under the PSA, as such actions are a reasonable exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment and in the best interest of their bankruptcy estates.

Emergency Relief is Appropriate

30. The Debtors request emergency consideration of this motion pursuant to Bankruptcy Local Rule 9013. Due to the time-sensitive nature of the terms of the Settlement, the Debtors seek approval of the Settlement on an expedited basis. A hearing on the requested relief

on June 25, 2020 will allow the Debtors to close the transaction before the end of the month and avoid any additional issues surrounding any continuing rent or other lease obligations associated with the Pinedale LGS Lease. The Debtors request that the Court approve the relief requested herein on an emergency basis.

Reservation of Rights

31. Nothing contained herein or any actions taken pursuant to such relief requested is intended or shall be construed as (a) an admission as to the amount of, basis for, or validity of any claim against a Debtor entity under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable nonbankruptcy law, (b) a waiver of the Debtors’ or any other party in interest’s right to dispute any claim on any ground, (c) a promise or requirement to pay any claim, (d) an implication or admission that any particular claim is of a type specified or defined in this motion or any order granting the relief requested in this motion or a finding that any particular claim is an administrative expense claim or other priority claim, (e) a request or authorization to assume, adopt, or reject any agreement, contract, or lease pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, (f) an admission as to the validity, priority, enforceability, or perfection of any lien on, security interest in, or other encumbrance on property of the Debtors’ estates, (g) a waiver or limitation of the Debtors’ or any other party in interest’s rights under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, or (h) a concession from the Debtors that any liens (contractual, common law, statutory, or otherwise) that may be satisfied pursuant to the relief requested in this motion are valid, and the rights of all parties in interest are expressly reserved to contest the extent, validity, or perfection or seek avoidance of all such liens. If the Court grants the relief sought herein, any payment made pursuant to the Court’s order is not intended and should not be construed as an admission as to the validity of any particular claim or a waiver of the Debtors’ or any other party in interest’s rights to subsequently dispute such claim.

Notice

32. The Debtors will provide notice of this motion to (a) the Office of the United States Trustee for the Southern District of Texas, (b) counsel to the creditors’ committee, (c) counsel to the agent for and lender of the revolving credit facility, (d) counsel to the agent for the term loan facility, (e) counsel to the ad hoc group of lenders of the term loan facility, (f) counsel to the trustee for the 9.00% Cash / 2.00% PIK senior notes due 2024, (g) counsel to the ad hoc group of noteholders of the 9.00% Cash / 2.00% PIK senior notes due 2024, (h) the counsel to the trustee for the 6.875% senior notes due 2022 and 7.125% senior notes due 2025, (i) the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas, (j) the Internal Revenue Service, (k) all applicable state taxing authorities, (l) the Environmental Protection Agency, (m) the office of the attorneys general for the states in which the Debtors operate, (n) the Securities and Exchange Commission, (o) Pinedale, and (p) any party that has requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. In light of the nature of the relief requested, no other or further notice is required.

WHEREFORE, the Debtors request that the Court enter an order, substantially in the form attached hereto, granting the relief requested in this Motion and granting such other and further relief as is appropriate under the circumstances.

Seller agrees to assign to Buyer all rights, claims, and causes of action on title warranties given or made by Seller’s respective predecessors, and that Buyer is specifically subrogated to all rights which Seller may have against its predecessors, to the extent that Seller may legally transfer such rights and grant such subrogation.

Section 3.2Consents.

(a) Buyer and Seller acknowledge that BLM consent to the assignment of a right of way or easement from BLM is customarily not requested or obtained until after the closing of the actual assignment of such right of way or easement. Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts after Closing to obtain the BLM Consent, through submission of the BLM Request for Consent to Assignment to Buyer in the form attached hereto asExhibit B with such

changes to such form as may be required by changes in applicable law or regulations after the Execution Date. Buyer shall pay any costs or expenses assessed by BLM in connection with such BLM Request for Consent to Assignment to Buyer, and Seller shall not be obligated to incur anyout-of-pocket expenses or obligations to obtain the BLM Consent.

(b) Except for the BLM Consent, if prior to Closing Seller or Buyer discovers a consent necessary for the valid assignment of the Assets, or a portion thereof, required by either (a) the contract or agreement granting or creating Seller’s rights in an Asset component (other than a consent to assignment of the Records or any part of the Records, which shall not be considered an Additional Required Consent) or (b) a law applicable to the transfer of an Asset component from Seller to Buyer hereunder (other than the BLM Request for Consent to Assignment to Buyer) (each, and except for the BLM Consent, an“Additional Required Consent”)such Party shall promptly notify the other of the need for such Additional Required Consent, the Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Additional Required Consent. Unless and until any such Additional Required Consent is obtained, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties will cooperate in good faith to establish an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller under which Buyer would obtain the claims, rights and benefits associated with the Assets (or portion thereof) affected by such Additional Required Consents (the“Non-Assignable Assets”)and under which Seller would enforce for the benefit of Buyer any and all claims, rights and benefits of Seller associated with theNon-Assignable Assets against a third party thereto. Nothing in thisSection 3.2 shall be deemed to constitute an agreement by Buyer to exclude from the Assets any of theNon-Assignable Assets. Seller will convey suchNon-Assignable Assets to Buyer promptly upon receipt of the requisite Additional Required Consents with the Closing Date for suchNon-Assignable Assets being adjusted appropriately, but subject in all other respects to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The amount claimed shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the extent required herein within 30 days after receipt of the Claim Notice, or after the amount of such payment has been finally established, whichever last occurs; provided, however, that any objection to the Claim Notice by the Indemnifying Party must be provided to the Indemnified Party within 15 days of receipt of the Claim Notice, or the Indemnifying Party waives its right to protest the Claim. Any undisputed portion of the Claim must be paid within 30 days of receipt of the Claim Notice.

(b)Information.Within 60 days after the Indemnified Party receives notice of a claim or legal action by a third party that may result in a Loss for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement (a“Claim”),the Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such Claim to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party or its counsel so requests, the Indemnified Party shall furnish the Indemnifying Party with copies of all pleadings and other information with respect to such Claim. At the election of the Indemnifying Party made within 60 days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume control of such Claim (to the extent only that such Claim, legal action or other matter relates to a Loss for which the Indemnifying Party is liable), including the determination of all appropriate actions, the negotiation of settlements on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and the conduct of litigation through attorneys of the Indemnifying Party’s choice.

If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control, (i) any expense incurred by the Indemnifying Party thereafter for investigation or defense of the matter shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party, and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall give all reasonable information and assistance, other than pecuniary, that the Indemnifying Party shall deem necessary to the proper defense of such Claim, legal action, or other matter.

Section 11.5No Insurance; Subrogation. The indemnifications provided in this Agreement shall not be construed as a form of insurance. Buyer and Seller hereby waive for themselves, their successors or assigns including, without limitation, any insurers, any rights to subrogation for Losses for which each of them is respectively liable or against which each respectively indemnifies the other, and, if required by applicable policies, Buyer and Seller shall obtain waiver of such subrogation from their respective insurers.

Section 11.6Reservation as toNon-Parties. Nothing herein is intended to limit or otherwise waive any recourse Buyer or Seller may have against any Person not a Party to this Agreement for any obligations or liabilities that may be incurred with respect to the Assets.

Nothing in thisSection 11.7 shall constitute a waiver by any Party to a claim under thisArticle XI with respect to diminution in value to the extent diminution in value is expressly included in the definition of the “Losses” covered by the Section of this Article under which the claim is made.

Section 11.8No Derivative Liability. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, the Closing Deliveries or otherwise, no direct or indirect (through tiered ownership or otherwise) advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, participant, partner, member, owner, investor, lender, representative or agent of a Party or its applicable Affiliates shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any Closing Deliveries or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and the other Party and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to the assets of such Party (or, if expressly applicable, the assets of such Party’s Affiliate) for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and each other Party, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waive any and all such personal liability.

Section 11.9Attorneys’ Fees. If it shall be necessary for any Party to this Agreement to employ an attorney to enforce its rights pursuant to this Agreement, thenon-prevailing Party shall reimburse the prevailing Party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing Party’s applicable Affiliates, if any, in such proceeding.
