Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, OTP agreed to purchase and assume, and the Sellers agreed to sell and assign, for a purchase price of $34,682,118 subject to adjustments for interconnection costs, substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities related to the Merricourt Project. Following action by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in October 2018 and January 2019 related to Merricourt's Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc., Interconnection Queue Requests for the Merricourt Project, OTP and the Sellers agreed in the First Amendment to change the purchase price to $37,682,118 and to make a related reallocation of responsibility for interconnection costs and liabilities.
