          (b) Either Party may at any time change its address for service from time to time by giving notice to the other Party in accordance with this Section 9.2 .

     9.3 Severability . If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced under applicable Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein are not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

     9.4 Governing Law . This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state.

     9.5 Arbitration Provision . Any and all Arbitrable Disputes must be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 9.5 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 9.5 will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“ Claimant ”) serving written notice on the other Party (“ Respondent ”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of any of Seller, Buyer or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven (7) years experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. Seller, Buyer and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal

Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind. The Arbitrable Disputes may be arbitrated in a common proceeding along with disputes under other agreements between Seller, Buyer or their Affiliates to the extent that the issues raised in such disputes are related. Without the written consent of the Parties, no unrelated disputes or third party disputes may be joined to an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.

     9.6 Parties in Interest . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

     9.7 Assignment of Agreement . At any time, the Parties may make a collateral assignment of their rights under this Agreement to any of their bona fide lenders or debt holders, or a trustee or a representative for any of them, and the non-assigning Parties shall execute an acknowledgment of such collateral assignment in such form as may from time to time be reasonably requested; provided , however , that unless written notice is given to the non-assigning Party that any such collateral assignment has been foreclosed upon, such non-assigning Party shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be, as to any matters arising under this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement (other than for delivery of notices required by any such collateral assignment). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.7 , neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto.

The directors, managers, officers, partners and stockholders of the Buyer, the Seller and their respective affiliates shall not have any personal liability or obligation arising under this Agreement (including any claims that another party may assert) other than as an assignee of this Agreement or pursuant to a written guarantee.

     9.11 Integration . This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Omnibus Agreement supersede any previous understandings or agreements among the Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to their subject matter. This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Omnibus Agreement contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
