The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities by PDC and Caerus. Each party's obligation to consummate the Transaction is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the accuracy of the parties' representations and warranties as of the closing, (ii) the parties' performance, in all material respects, of all covenants, and (iii) the absence of any legal order prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will close in the time frame expected or at all. The effective date of the closing will be January 1, 2013 and all proceeds and certain customary operational costs and expenses attributable to the Assets will be apportioned between the Partnership and Caerus according to such date.
