Party will assert its claim for indemnification under Section 6.02 (each, a “Claim”) by providing a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) within the applicable Survival Period to the applicable indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying, in reasonable detail, to the extent known by such Indemnified Party, the nature and basis for such Claim (e.g., the underlying representation, warranty or covenant alleged to have been breached and the condition or conduct allegedly resulting in such breach). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party’s delay in sending a Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from Liability hereunder with respect to such Claim except to the extent (and limited solely to the extent) of any material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party by such failure or delay; provided, that such Claim Notice is provided within the applicable Survival Period.

(b) In the event that any Proceeding is instituted or any Claim is asserted by any Third Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section 6.02 hereof and in respect of which the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all of such Indemnified Party’s Losses (subject to any applicable limitations in this Article VI) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party will have the right, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, to assume the defense of the same, including the appointment and selection of counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Party, so long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, it shall within thirty (30) days notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intent to do so. Subject to Section 6.03(c), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to settle or compromise or take any corrective or remedial action with respect to any such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will be entitled, at its own cost, to participate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, unless separate representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel is reasonably necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case such representation shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim but fails to diligently prosecute such Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume control of such defense and in the event the Third Party Claim is determined to be a matter for which the Indemnifying Party is required to provide indemnification under the terms of this Article VI, the Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense (including fees and expenses of counsel).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will not be permitted to settle, compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree or permit a default without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, in each case, that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a binding, irrevocable, written release of any Indemnified Party from all Liability, (ii) provides for any admission of Liability on the part of any Indemnified Party, (iii) requires an admission of guilt or wrongdoing on the part of any Indemnified Party or (iv) imposes any Liability or continuing obligation on or requires any payment from any Indemnified Party.

Section 6.04 Limitations.

(a) In no event shall the aggregate Liability of any Party for indemnifiable Losses hereunder exceed the Purchase Price.

(b) No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under Section 6.02 for any special, incidental, consequential, multiplied, exemplary, speculative or punitive Losses, except to the extent that, (i) in the case of any special, incidental, consequential or multiplied Losses, any of the foregoing are the reasonably foreseeable result of a breach of this Agreement or (ii) the payment of such damages or amount of Losses is to a Person making a Third Party Claim in satisfaction of such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 6.05 Calculation of Losses. In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be computed net of (a) payments actually recovered by any Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses net of expenses and (b) any actual recovery by any Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses net of expenses. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue reimbursement for Losses, including under insurance policies and indemnity arrangements.

Section 6.06 No Duplication. In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to recover any Losses under one Section or provision of this Agreement to the extent of the full amount of such Losses already recovered by such Indemnified Party, nor shall its insurer or indemnitor be entitled to any kind of subrogation or substitution which would give it the right to make a claim against the Indemnifying Party.

Section 6.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Seller and the Buyer agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article VI as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 6.08 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party for Losses, including claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to claims for breach of Contract, breach of representation or warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty that it may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement or other claim arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer and the Seller agree that each Party shall retain all remedies at Law or in equity with respect to actual fraud.

This Agreement and all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of any Law other than the Law of the State of Delaware.

Section 7.05 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the state courts of the State of Delaware and (ii) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or the Delaware Chancery Court for the purposes of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any Proceeding relating hereto except in such courts). Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document hand delivered or sent by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 7.03 will be effective service of process for any Proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (i) the state courts of the State of Delaware or (ii) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or the Delaware Chancery Court, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Proceeding so

brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment in any jurisdiction or in any other manner provided in law or in equity. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 7.06 Assignment; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that Buyer may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without such consent to any Affiliate of Buyer for purpose of having such Affiliate take ownership of all or a portion of the Purchased Units so long as (i) Buyer remains jointly and severally obligated to satisfy all of Buyer’s obligations under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such assignment is permissible under the terms of the applicable LLC Agreement. No assignment of this Agreement will in any way affect the assigning Party’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement and any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder in violation of this Section 7.06 shall be deemed void ab initio. Except as expressly provided for herein, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person other than the Parties.

Section 7.07 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, each Party shall pay its own costs and expenses (including legal, accounting, financial advisory and consulting fees and expenses) incurred by such Party in connection with the negotiation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 7.08 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached by such Party. Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Party will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by such Party and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over such Party and the matter, subject to Section 7.04 and Section 7.05, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, in equity or at Law.

Section 7.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto), together with each of the other Transaction Documents, constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral.

Section 7.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect, all other provisions of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as

to which it has been held invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination that any provision, or the application of any such provision, is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, 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 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.
