8. Covenants.
(a) Cooperation. The Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand shall cooperate fully with each other in furnishing any information or performing any action reasonably requested by the other party, which information or action is necessary to the timely and successful consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Assumption. The Buyer agrees that it will assume and perform, as of the Closing, all of the duties and obligations relating to the Interests (including, without limitation, any obligation of the Seller to make any further capital contributions to the Entities with respect to the Interests from and after the Closing).
9. Survival of Representations and Warranties.
Each and every representation and warranty in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall be fully effective and enforceable for a period of one (1) year from the Closing (other than the representations and warranties in Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 7(a) hereof, which shall survive indefinitely). All rights to indemnification in respect of any representation and warranty hereunder shall survive only as long as such representation and warranty survives. The filing of a notice of claim for indemnification under Section 10(c) hereof within the one-year period set forth in this Section 9 shall be sufficient to perfect such claim for indemnification until it is resolved.
10. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Seller. The Seller agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, its members and the Buyer’s and such members’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer
7
WEIL:\99180807\7\29711.0485
Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, suits, proceedings, liabilities, costs and expenses (including settlement costs, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any reasonable legal or other expenses for investigation or defense of any actions or threatened actions) (collectively, “Losses” or “Claims,” as the context requires) which may be imposed, sustained, incurred, suffered or asserted as a result of, relating to or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement, (ii) any failure by such Seller to perform any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Seller contained in this Agreement (unless specifically waived in writing by the Buyer at or prior to the Closing), and (iii) any and all taxes, fees or other governmental charges attributable to the ownership by the Seller of the Interests, on or prior to the date of Closing.
(b) Indemnification by ▇▇▇▇▇. The Buyer agrees to defend indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its respective members, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses and Claims which may be imposed, sustained, incurred, suffered or asserted as a result of, relating to or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or (ii) any failure by the Buyer to perform any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Buyer contained in this Agreement (unless specifically waived in writing by the Seller at or prior to the Closing).
(c) Indemnification Procedure. Each party hereto which may request indemnification under this Agreement agrees to give the party from which it may request indemnification prompt written notice of any event or any written claim by a third party of which it obtains knowledge, which could give rise to any actual damage, liability, loss, cost or expense as to which it may request indemnification under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the failure to give such prompt written notice shall not affect such party’s rights hereunder except to the extent the other party was materially and adversely prejudiced thereby. The indemnifying party may select counsel to direct the defense of such third-party claim, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and the indemnified party, at the expense of the indemnifying party, shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in determining the validity of any such claim and the defense thereof. The indemnified party may, at its expense, participate in the defense of such third-party claim. The indemnifying party shall not settle any such claim without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if any relief, other than the payment of money damages, would be granted by such settlement or if such settlement does not include the unconditional release of the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall not settle any such claim without the consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any indemnification payment shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Adjusted Price.
(d) Reduction of Claim or Loss. If the amount of any Claim or Loss shall, subsequent to payment pursuant to this Section 10, be reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise, the amount of such reduction, less any expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid by the indemnified party to the related indemnifying party.
(e) Remedies Cumulative and Non-Exclusive. The remedies provided in this Section 10 shall be cumulative and shall not preclude the assertion by a party to this Agreement of any other rights or the seeking of the other remedies against the other party to this Agreement.
8
WEIL:\99180807\7\29711.0485
(f) Primacy of Indemnification. The Seller hereby acknowledges that certain Buyer Indemnified Parties may have rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the Buyer , a member of the Buyer or an affiliate of the Buyer (directly or by insurance provided by such entity or person, as applicable) (collectively, the “Non-Seller Indemnitors”). The Seller hereby agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort of the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to matters for which indemnification is provided to them under this Agreement and that the Seller will be obligated to make all payments due to or for the benefit of a Buyer Indemnified Party under this Agreement without regard to any rights that such Buyer Indemnified Party may have against a Non-Seller Indemnitor. The Seller hereby waives and releases any and all equitable and other rights or claims to contribution, subrogation, or indemnification from or against the Non-Seller Indemnitors in respect of any amounts paid to a Buyer Indemnified Party hereunder. The Seller further agrees that no payment of Losses or expenses by any Non-Seller Indemnitor to or for the benefit of a Buyer Indemnified Party shall affect the obligations of the Seller hereunder, and that the Seller shall be obligated to repay the Non-Seller Indemnitors for all amounts so paid or reimbursed to the extent that the Seller has an obligation to indemnify a Buyer Indemnified Party for such Losses or expenses hereunder.
(g) The Buyer’s rights to indemnification under Section 10(a) hereof shall survive indefinitely.

(e) Counterparts; Facsimile Copies. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile of an executed counterpart of any signature page to this Agreement (or any other agreement to be executed hereunder) shall have the same effectiveness as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.
(f) Interpretation. The headings of the Sections and Subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of or affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Defined terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meaning whether defined or used herein in the singular or the plural, as the case may be.
(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other documents and certificates delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party.
(h) Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by the Seller and the Buyer; provided, that Schedule A may be updated, without requiring any amendments hereto or the approval of any party, in order to add the True-Up Amount. Any failure of the Buyer to comply with any obligation, agreement or condition under this Agreement may only be waived in writing by the Seller, and any such failure by the Seller may only be waived in writing by the Buyer, but any such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. No failure by a party to take any action against any breach of this Agreement or default by the other party shall constitute a waiver of such party’s right to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to take any such action.

(o) Severability. If any term, provision, agreement, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, 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 reasonably acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
