ARTICLE III THE CLOSING
3.1.        Closing. The sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Seller to Buyer, and the purchase, assumption and acquisition by Buyer of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby, shall take place at a closing (the "Closing") to be held at such location as is mutually agreed by the Parties, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the last of the conditions precedent to the Closing set forth in Article VII shall have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waived by the Party for whose benefit such conditions precedent exist, or at such other date as may be agreed upon between Buyer and Seller. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is hereinafter called the "Closing Date." The Closing shall be effective for all purposes as of 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date.
3.2.        Purchase Price.
(a)        "Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, in consideration of the aforesaid sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall (i) pay to Seller cash in an aggregate amount equal to Thirty-Nine Million Eight Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($39,825,000) (the "Initial Amount") plus or minus such adjustments set forth in this Section 3.2 below ("Closing Adjustment Amount"), subject to Section 3.4 (collectively, the "Purchase Price"), and (ii) assume and agree to pay, perform and otherwise discharge the Assumed Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer acknowledges that its assumption of, and agreement to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, the Assumed Liabilities constitutes an integral part of the consideration to be received by Seller in respect of the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and deliver of the Purchased Assets hereunder, and that, in the absence of such assumption and agreement by Buyer, Seller would not enter into this Agreement. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:
	(i)          The Purchase Price shall be (A) increased by the actual installed cost of Purchased Assets acquired since November 30, 2006, and (B) decreased by the Net Book Value of assets or properties which otherwise would have constituted "Purchased Assets" hereunder but for the retirement, disposition or abandonment of such assets or properties prior to the Closing Date, excluding for all purposes any amounts relating to Accounts Receivable or Customer Deposits. An example of this calculation is set forth on Schedule 3.2(a)(i);
	(ii)         The Purchase Price shall be increased by the product of (A) the amount of the Accounts Receivable on the Closing Date and (B) 0.995;
	(iii)        The Purchase Price shall be decreased by an amount equal to the applicable accruedinterest on Customer Deposits transferred to Buyer, accruing as of January 1, 2007, through the Closing Date;
	(iv)         The Purchase Price shall be decreased, by the amount of the Customer Deposits on the Closing Date; and
18
	(v)          The Purchase Price shall be decreased by the difference between $250,000 and the amounts paid by Seller to Transferred Employees as signing bonuses pursuant Section 6.9(b).
(b)        "At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer its good faith estimate of the Closing Adjustment Amount, which estimate shall be certified in writing by an appropriate officer of Seller which officer shall be consented to by the Buyer (the "Estimated Adjustment Amount").
(c)        "At the Closing, in furtherance but not in duplication of Section 3.2(a), Buyer shall pay to Seller cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Initial Amount, minus the Escrow Amount and plus or minus the Estimated Adjustment Amount (the "Closing Payment"). The Closing Payment shall be paid to Seller by Buyer at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Seller designated by Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
3.3.        Establishment of Escrow. At Closing, Buyer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, an amount equal to Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000) of the Purchase Price (the "Escrow Amount") to be paid by Buyer under Section 3.2 to an escrow agent mutually agreed upon by the Parties(the "Escrow Agent"). The Escrow Agent shall hold such funds in escrow (the "Escrow") for three months after the Closing Date, to be used for payments to be made by Seller pursuant to Section 3.2, if any, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
3.4.        Adjustment to Purchase Price.
(a)        "Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Parties shall mutually prepare a statement setting forth the Closing Adjustment Amount (the "Closing Statement") and the amount of any payment to be made, and by whom, pursuant to Section 3.4(c).
(b)        "In the event there is disagreement with respect to the preparation of only a portion of the Closing Statement, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall pay all remaining amounts in the manner set forth in Section 3.4(c); and all other amounts shall be paid at such time as all disagreements are resolved provided in accordance with this Section 3.4(b) or otherwise. If the Parties cannot mutually agree on the Closing Statement, then the Parties shall promptly attempt to resolve such disagreements by negotiation. If the Parties are unable to resolve such disagreements within thirty (30) days following such notice of disagreement, then the Parties shall appoint an Independent Accounting Firm within forty-five (45) days following such notice to review the disputed portions of the draft Closing Statement and determine the Closing Adjustment Amount. In the event that Buyer and Seller cannot promptly agree on the selection of an accounting firm to act as the Independent Accounting Firm following the expiration of such forty-five (45) day period, either Party may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint an Independent Accounting Firm, and such appointment shall be final, binding and conclusive on Buyer and Seller. Resolution of any disagreements shall be made by the Independent Accounting Firm in a writing addressed to all Parties within thirty (30) days following referral to it by the Parties of such disagreements in accordance with this Agreement. The findings of such Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm incurred in the resolution of
19
such dispute shall be borne by the Parties in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Seller on the one hand and Buyer on the other from the resolution of the dispute. For example, if Buyer challenges items underlying the calculation of the Closing Adjustment Amount in the net amount of $100,000, but the Independent Accounting Firm determines that Buyer has a valid claim for only $40,000, Buyer shall bear 60% of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and Seller shall bear the other 40% of such fees and expenses.
(c)        "No later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the determination of the Closing Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 3.4(b), either (i) Seller shall pay Buyer the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Adjustment Amount exceeds the Closing Adjustment Amount, or (ii) Buyer shall pay Seller the amount, if any, by which the Closing Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Adjustment Amount, in either case, together with simple interest accruing on such payment at the Prime Rate from and after the Closing Date through but not including the date of payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the receiving Party. As used herein, "Prime Rate" means, as of any date, the prime rate as published inThe Wall Street Journal on such date or, if not publish ed on such date, on the most recent date of publication.
3.5.        Tax Reporting and Allocation of Purchase Price. Buyer and Seller shall use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to agree in good faith upon an allocation among the Purchased Assets of the sum of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder within sixty (60) days after the determination of the Closing Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 3.4. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on a mutually satisfactory allocation within such sixty (60) day period, the Parties shall appoint an Independent Accounting Firm that shall, at Seller's and Buyer's joint expense, determine the appropriate allocation. In the event that Buyer and Seller cannot promptly agree on the selection of an accounting firm to act as the Independent Accounting Firm, either Party may request the American Arbitr ation Association to appoint an Independent Accounting Firm, and such appointment shall be final, binding and conclusive on Buyer and Seller. Resolution of any disagreements shall be made by the Independent Accounting Firm in a writing addressed to all Parties within thirty (30) days following referral to it by the Parties of such disagreements in accordance with this Agreement. The finding of such Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties. After determination of the allocation by agreement of the Parties or by binding determination of the Independent Accounting Firm, Buyer and Seller shall file, for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and all Tax Returns, in accordance with such allocation. Buyer and Seller shall report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for U. S. federal Income Tax and all other Tax purposes in a manner consistent with the allocation determined pursuant to this Section 3.5. Buyer and Se ller shall provide the other promptly with any information required to complete Form 8594. Buyer and Seller shall notify and provide the other with reasonable assistance in the event of an examination, audit or other proceeding regarding the agreed-upon allocation of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) for the avoidance of doubt, except for the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV and the obligations under Section 6.20, Seller shall have no indemnification obligations to Buyer relating to the condition of the Purchased Assets, and such Purchased Assets are being sold subject to the disclaimer set forth in Section 10.5, and (ii) Seller's obligations under Section 6.20 are not subject to the Threshold.
(c)        "The rights and remedies of Seller and Buyer set forth in this Article VIII are exclusive and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies which Seller and Buyer may have under this Agreement, under applicable Law, whether at common law or in equity, including for declaratory, injunctive or monetary relief, in each case, with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss, other than with respect to the rights of a Party to enforce this Section 8.1.
45
(d)        "Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Person (including an Indemnitee) shall be entitled to recover from any other Person (including any Party required to provide indemnification under this Agreement (an "Indemnifying Party")) any amount in excess of the actual compensatory damages, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees suffered by such Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer and Seller hereby irrevocably waive any right to recover punitive, indirect, special, exemplary and consequential damages arising in connection with or with respect to this Agreement (other than with respect to indemnification for a Third-Party Claim).
(e)        "Any Indemnitee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate all losses, damages and the like relating to a claim under the indemnification provisions in this Section 8.1, including availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity.
8.2.        Defense of Claims.
(a)        "If any Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any Indemnifiable Loss or of the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not an Indemnitee (a "Third-Party Claim") with respect to which indemnification is to be sought from an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnitee's receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim. Such notice shall describe the nature of the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the estimated amount, if practicable, of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been or may be incurred by the Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in or, by giving written notice to the Indemnitee, to elect to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at such Indemnifying Party's expense and by such Indemnifying Party's own counsel. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee may defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it, provided that, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall not agree to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or any compromise or settlement of, any Third-Party Claim.
(b)        "If, within twenty (20) Business Days after an Indemnitee gives written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnitee receives written notice from the Indemnifying Party that such Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim as provided in Section 8.2(a), then the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any costs, fees or expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement thereof.
(c)        "Subject to Section 8.3, any claim by an Indemnitee on account of an Indemnifiable Loss which does not constitute a Third-Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after the Indemnitee becomes aware of such Direct Claim, stating the nature of such claim in reasonable detail and indicating the estimated amount, if practicable, of such Indemnifiable Loss. The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of twenty (20) Business Days within which to respond to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to respond during such twenty (20) Business Day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be
46
deemed to have accepted such claim and, subject to this Article VIII, shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the Indemnifiable Losses set forth in the Indemnitee's notice.
(d)        "A failure to give timely notice as provided in this Section 8.2 shall not affect the rights or obligations of any Party hereunder except to the extent that the Party which was entitled to receive such notice was actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.
8.3.        Arbitration.
(a)        "Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of any dispute between Seller and Buyer arising after the Closing (whether relating to facts, events or circumstances occurring or existing prior to, on or after the Closing Date) and relating to, resulting from or arising out of any provision of this Agreement (other than disputes arising under Section 8.1), including with respect to Direct Claims and Third-Party Claims, the Party asserting such dispute shall give written notice to the other of the fact that a dispute has arisen pursuant hereto. Such notice shall include (i) a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the facts, events, circumstances, evidence and arguments underlying such dispute and (ii) proposed arrangements for a meeting to attempt to resolve the dispute to be held within sixty (60) days after such notice is given. Within thirty (30) days after such notice is given, the other Party hereto shall submit to the Party giving such notice a written summary responding to such statement of facts, events, circumstances, evidence and arguments contained in the notice and an acceptance of or proposed alternative to the meeting arrangements set forth in the initial notice.
(b)        "The chief executive officers (or any other executive officer or officers directly reporting to, or duly designated by, such chief executive officers) of each of the Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place to attempt to settle any dispute in good faith;provided,however, that such meeting shall be held at the principal offices of the Party receiving the notice of dispute unless otherwise agreed; andprovidedfurther, that any such meeting shall be held no later than sixty (60) days after the written notice of dispute is given pursuant to Section 8.3(a). Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to preparation for, attendance at and participation in such meeting.
(c)        "In the event that (i) a meeting has been held in accordance with Section 8.3(b), (ii) any such dispute of the kind referred to in Section 8.3(a) shall not have been resolved at such meeting and (iii) the aggregate amount in dispute exceeds $100,000, then either Party may submit such dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "Commercial Arbitration Rules"). In the event that such dispute is submitted to arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules, then the arbitration tribunal shall be composed of three arbitrators (one arbitrator selected by each Party within thirty (30) days after the meeting held in accordance with Section 8.3(b) with the third selected by the other two arbitrators or, in the absence of agreement between them, the American Arbitration Association), the venue of the arbitration shall be Washington, D.C., the language of the arbitration shall be English and the arbitration shall commence no later than sixty (60) days after the meeting held in accordance with Section 8.3(b). The decision, judgment and order of the arbitration tribunal shall be final, binding and conclusive as to the Parties and their respective Representatives, and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties intend the provisions of this Section 8.3 to be the sole and exclusive remedy of any dispute not arising
47
under Section 8.1. Other than the fees and expenses of the arbitrators, which shall be shared equally by the Parties, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) relating to the arbitration.

Legal Proceedings

1.	On March 10, 2006, DPL filed for a rate increase with the VSCC for its Virginia Default Service customers to take effect on June 1, 2006, which was intended to allow DPL to recover its higher cost for energy established by the competitive bid procedure. On June 19, 2006, the VSCC issued an order that granted a rate increase for DPL of $11.5 million ($8.5 million less than requested by DPL in its March 2006 filing), to go into effect July 1, 2006. In determining the amount of the approved increase, the VSCC applied the proxy rate calculation to DPL's fuel factor, rather than allowing full recovery of the costs DPL incurred in procuring the supply necessary for its Default Service obligation. The estimated after-tax earnings and cash flow impacts of the decision are reductions of approximately $3.6 million in 2006 (including the loss of revenue in June 2006 associated with the Default Service rate increase being deferred from June 1 until July 1) and $2.0 million in 2007. The order also mandated that DP L file an application for Default Service rates to become effective June 1, 2007, including a calculation of the fuel factor that is consistent with the procedures set forth in the order. On April 2, 2007, DPL filed the application in accordance with the terms of the order. The calculations in the application result in a rate decrease of approximately $1.7 million for the first period, June 1 to June 30, 2007, and an increase of approximately $4.2 million for the second period, July 1, 2007 to May 31, 2008, or an overall annual rate increase of approximately $2.5 million.
2.	In February 2007, the Virginia General Assembly passed amendments to the Virginia Electric Utility Restructuring Act to become effective on July 1, 2007(the Virginia Restructuring Act) that modified the method by which investor-owned electric utilities in Virginia will be regulated by the VSCC. The amendments provide that, as of December 31, 2008, the following will terminate: (i) capped electric base rates (the previous expiration date was December 31, 2010); (ii) DPL's Default Service obligation (previously, DPL was obligated to continue to offer Default Service until relieved of that obligation by the VSCC); and (iii) customer choice, except that customers with loads of five megawatts or greater will continue to be able to buy from competitive suppliers, as will smaller non-residential customers that aggregate their loads to reach the five-megawatt threshold and obtain VSCC approval. Additionally, if an ex-customer of Default Service wants to return to DPL as its energy supplier, it must give five y ears notice or obtain approval of the VSCC that the return is in the public interest. In this event, the ex-customer must take DPL's service at market based rates.
	DPL also believes that the amendments to the Virginia Restructuring Act will terminate, as of December 31, 2008, the ratemaking provisions within the memorandum of agreement entered into by DPL, the staff of the VSCC and the Virginia Attorney General's office in the docket approving DPL's generating asset divestiture in 2000 (the MOA), including the application of the proxy rate calculation to DPL's fuel factor as discussed above; however, the VSCC's interpretation of these provisions is not known.

Disconnection Plan

Note: This outline assumes a November 1, 2007 Closing Date. Appropriate adjustments shall be made if Closing is delayed.

Buyer and Seller shall mutually agree as soon as practicable after the date hereof on a customer transition plan, including but not limited to the following:

-	Final bills will be issued on customer's normal October meter reading.
-	A process and system change will be made at Delmarva so that the customer deposit is not applied to the customer's final bill balance. The deposit will be transferred to A&N, as set forth in the Agreement.
-	Delmarva will hold final bills and will mail multiple cycles once a week.
-	Delmarva will transfer weekly file to A&N with 5 cycles of final bill accounts. Delmarva final bill insert will include transition information, and an envelope addressed to A&N for final payment.
-	Delmarva will not have ability to cut-off customers for nonpayment or obtain regulatory recovery of uncollectibles after transition.
-	A&N will take over responsibility for customer contact as of the final bill being issued.
-	A&N and Delmarva may need to coordinate work activities through the month of October to minimize impact to customer such as outage response.
-	Physical cutover will take place November 1.
-	Delmarva and A&N will conduct a true-up for Delmarva's unbilled revenue (revenue between individual customer's final October reading and the actual cutover of November 1). A&N will reimburse Delmarva at the Delmarva tariff rate for the October unbilled revenue. A&N will account for changing rates, recognizing the first A&N bill will be partially based on Delmarva rates and partially based on A&N rates.
-	Delmarva will transfer deposits to A&N. Delmarva will not calculate year to date interest on the deposit, nor will they apply the deposit to the final bill balance. A&N's vendor, NISC, will apply the deposit interest due to the customer on A&N bill. A&N to pay Delmarva for outstanding A/R and unbilled revenue as set forth in the Agreement.
Final Billing
-	Delmarva will final bill customers on their scheduled October meter readings.
-	Delmarva will attempt to get actual readings in August, September, and October. In the event an October meter read is not obtained, having actual readings from August and September will increase accuracy of estimate. In addition, October is a shoulder month which increases the accuracy of estimation.
-	Delmarva stores deposit information in a separate account. Delmarva will not calculate year to date interest on the deposit, nor will they apply the deposit to the final bill balance.
-	Delmarva final bill package will include final bill, insert about transition, and envelope addressed to A&N.

-	Delmarva will hold the final bills and will mail several cycles at one time (mailing will be done about once a week which will result in extra postage)
-	After final billing is done, the account becomes inactive which means the only activity that can be done within the Delmarva system will be to create an outage (via Navigator only).
-	Delmarva will return any customer payments made inadvertently to Delmarva which is our normal process.
-	Delmarva provided A&N a sample of the (bill print) Doc 1 file. It appears that Buyer will be able to access an image of the final bill to assist in answering customer's questions, as needed.
-	Delmarva will file and remit the money to the various taxing agencies for the final Delmarva bill, but the Buyer will file and remit the taxes for the period between the billing cutover (and reduce their unbilled revenue payment to us by the appropriate amount).
Questions / Corrections to final bills
-	The customer call would go to A&N as communicated in the final bill.
-	A&N would work with Delmarva billing to determine the amount of the bill correction by exception, if needed.
-	Any true-up of revenue would be handled as part of a reconciliation process.
Transfer data
-	Delmarva will create weekly files to pass to A&N. These files will contain multiple days' worth of bill cycles final bills.
-	The format sent by Delmarva will essentially be the same as Delmarva used in the St. Michael's transfer which is familiar to NISC.
-	Delmarva will be sending final account balance, as well as payment history to A&N.
-	Delmarva will be sending the deposit balance information to A&N. This is a separate account within Delmarva's system, but Delmarva will include a cross reference to the billing account. Information included will be deposit amount, date deposit paid in full, account to which deposit applies. This was not done for the St. Michael's interface.
PJM
-	Delmarva will continue to be responsible for all customer load and related PJM services that are not supplied by a Third Party Supplier through October 31.
-	A&N's supplier (presumably ODEC) will be responsible for all customer load and related PJM services as of November 1.
-	Delmarva will include the transferred load in ODEC's eSCHEDULE and eRPM capacity / transmission responsibilities beginning November 1.
