(B) any Transferred Assets;

in any such case, whether arising on, before or after the Separation Date;

(ii) any and all other Liabilities that are expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement as Liabilities to be assumed by Pasadena Holdings or any Pasadena Group member including the Assumed Actions, and all agreements, obligations and Liabilities of any Pasadena Group member under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements;

(iii) all Liabilities reflected as liabilities or obligations of Pasadena Holdings or its Subsidiaries on the Pasadena Balance Sheet, subject to any discharge of such Liabilities subsequent to the date of the Pasadena Balance Sheet; and

(iv) all Liabilities arising out of claims made by the respective directors, officers, unitholders, employees, agents, managers, Subsidiaries or Affiliates of either Group against any member of either Group relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Pasadena Business or the other businesses, operations, activities or Liabilities referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above, inclusive; and

(v) any Liability relating to any phantom unit award agreement by and between the Partnership and any employee or independent contractor of the Pasadena Group, including any such Liability arising out of claims by any such individual and excluding the Phantom Unit Payments (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assumed Liabilities shall not include any Partnership Liabilities.

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Partnership Liabilities” means (without duplication): (1) all Liabilities of Partnership and its Subsidiaries other than Assumed Liabilities; (2) all other Liabilities that are expressly stated in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement as Liabilities to be retained or assumed by Partnership or any other Partnership Group member; and (3) all agreements and obligations of any Partnership Group member under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

2.4 Approvals and Notifications.

(a) To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Asset, the assumption of any Liability or the Separation requires any Approvals or Notifications, the Parties will endeavor to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement (including in Section 2.4(f)) or any of the Ancillary Agreements or as otherwise agreed between the applicable Parties), neither Partnership or Partnership GP, on the one hand, nor Pasadena Holdings, on the other hand, shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.

(b) If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to a Group of any Assets or assumption by a Group of any Liabilities would be a violation of applicable Law, or require

any Approvals or Notifications in connection with the Separation that have not been obtained or made by the Separation Date, then, unless the Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment to the applicable Group of such Assets or the assumption by the applicable Group of such Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approvals or Notifications have been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any such Assets that are Transferred Assets and any such Liabilities that are Assumed Liabilities shall continue to constitute Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement; and (ii) any such Assets that are Partnership Assets and any such Liabilities that are Partnership Liabilities shall continue to be Partnership Assets and Partnership Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(c) If any transfer or assignment of any Asset or any assumption of any Liability intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Separation Date, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.4(b) or for any other reason, then, insofar as reasonably possible, the Group member retaining such Asset or such Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, for the use, benefit and/or burden of the applicable Group member entitled thereto (at the expense and for the account of the Group member entitled thereto). In addition, the Group member retaining such Asset or such Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Group member to whom such Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such Group member in a substantially similar position as if such Asset or Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Separation Date to the applicable Group.

(d) If the transfer or assignment of any Asset or the assumption of any Liability not intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is consummated on or prior to the Separation Date, then, insofar as reasonably possible, the Group member holding or owning such Asset or such Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, for the use, benefit and/or burden of the Group member entitled thereto (at the expense of the Group member entitled thereto). In addition, the Group member retaining such Asset or such Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Group member to whom such Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such Group member in a substantially similar position as if such Asset or Liability had not been so transferred, assigned or assumed and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Separation Date to the applicable Group. In addition, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to promptly transfer or convey such Asset back to the transferring or conveying Party or to rescind any acceptance or assumption of such Liability, as the case may be. Any transfer or conveyance made or acceptance or assumption rescinded pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if such Asset or Liability had never been originally transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed, as the case may be, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(e) If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.4(b) are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Asset or the assumption of any Liability or for the transfer or assignment of any Asset or the assumption of any Liability, have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Asset or the assumption of the applicable Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.

(f) Except as otherwise agreed between the Parties, any Group member holding, owning or retaining any Asset or Liability for the use, benefit and/or burden of another Group member entitled thereto (whether as a result of the provisions above or for any other reason), shall not be obligated, in order to effect the

transfer of such Asset or Liability to the Group member entitled thereto, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by the Group member entitled thereto, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Group member entitled to such Asset or Liability.

2.5 Novation of Assumed Liabilities.

(a) Each of Partnership and Partnership GP, on the one hand, and Pasadena Holdings, on the other hand, at the request of the other, shall endeavor, if reasonably practicable, to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, if reasonably practicable, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all obligations under agreements, leases, licenses and other obligations or Liabilities of any nature whatsoever that constitute Assumed Liabilities, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements other than any Pasadena Group member, so that, in any such case, the Pasadena Group members will be solely responsible for the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that neither Partnership nor Pasadena Holdings shall be obligated to contribute any capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Third Party from whom any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release is requested.

(b) If Partnership and Partnership GP, on the one hand, or Pasadena Holdings, on the other hand, are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release and the applicable Partnership Group member continues to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or other obligation or Liability (each, an “Unreleased Pasadena Liability”), Pasadena Holdings shall, to the extent not prohibited by Law, as indemnitor, guarantor, agent or subcontractor for such Partnership Group member, as the case may be, (i) pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Partnership Group member that constitute Unreleased Pasadena Liabilities from and after the Separation Date and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such payment, performance, or discharge prior to any demand for such payment, performance, or discharge is permitted to be made by the obligee thereunder on any Partnership Group member. If and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release shall be obtained or the Unreleased Pasadena Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, Partnership shall promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, and Pasadena Holdings or the applicable Pasadena Group member shall assume, such Unreleased Pasadena Liabilities without exchange of further consideration.

2.6 Novation of Partnership Liabilities.

(a) Each of Partnership and Partnership GP, on the one hand, and Pasadena Holdings, on the other hand, at the request of the other, shall endeavor, if reasonably practicable, to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, if reasonably practicable, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all obligations under agreements, leases, licenses and other obligations or Liabilities of any nature whatsoever that constitute Partnership Liabilities, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements other than any Partnership Group member, so that, in any such case, the Partnership Group members will be solely responsible for such Partnership Liabilities; provided, however, that neither Partnership nor Pasadena Holdings shall be obligated to contribute any capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Third Party from whom any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release is requested.

(b) If Partnership and Partnership GP, on the one hand, or Pasadena Holdings, on the other hand, are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release and the applicable Pasadena Group member continues to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or other obligation or Liability (each, an “Unreleased Partnership Liability”), Partnership shall, to the extent not prohibited by Law, as indemnitor, guarantor, agent or subcontractor for such Pasadena Group member, as the case may be, (i) pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Pasadena Group member that constitute Unreleased Partnership Liabilities from and after the Separation Date and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such payment, performance, or discharge prior to any demand for such payment, performance, or discharge is permitted to be made by the obligee thereunder on any Pasadena Group member. If and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release shall be obtained or the Unreleased Partnership Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, Pasadena Holdings shall promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, and Partnership or the applicable Partnership Group member shall assume, such Unreleased Partnership Liabilities without exchange of further consideration.

2.7 Termination of Agreements.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.7(b), in furtherance of the releases and other provisions of this Agreement, Pasadena Holdings and each Pasadena Group member, on the one hand, and Partnership and each Partnership Group member, on the other hand, hereby terminate any and all agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings, whether or not in writing, between or among Pasadena Holdings and/or any Pasadena Group member and/or any entity that shall be a Pasadena Group member as of the Separation Date, on the one hand, and Partnership and/or any Partnership Group member (other than entities that shall be Pasadena Group members as of the Separation Date), on the other hand, effective as of the Separation Date. No such terminated agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding (including any provision thereof which purports to survive termination) shall be of any further force or effect after the Separation Date. Each Party shall, at the reasonable request of the other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

(b) The provisions of Section 2.7(a) shall not apply to any of the following agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings (or to any of the provisions thereof): (i) this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (and each other agreement or instrument expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to be entered into by any of the Parties or any of the members of their respective Groups) and the Purchase Agreement (and the agreements or instruments expressly contemplated thereby to be entered into by any of the Parties or any of the members of their respective Groups); (ii) any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings to which any Person other than the Parties and the members of their respective Groups is a Party (it being understood that to the extent that the rights and obligations of the Parties and the members of their respective Groups under any such agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings constitute Assets or Liabilities, they shall be assigned pursuant to Section 2.1); and (iii) any other agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement expressly states will survive the Separation Date.

(b) With respect to any outstanding payments initiated by any Party, or any of their respective Subsidiaries prior to the Separation Date, such outstanding payments shall be honored following the Separation by the Person or Group owning the account from which the payment was initiated.

(c) As between Partnership and Partnership GP, on the one hand, and Pasadena Holdings, on the other hand (and the members of their respective Groups), all payments made and reimbursements received after the Separation by any Party (or member of its Group) that relate to a business, Asset or Liability of the other Party or Parties (or member of its Group), shall be held by such Party for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto). Each of Partnership and Partnership GP, on the one hand, and Pasadena Holdings, on the other hand, shall maintain an accounting of any such payments and reimbursements, and the Parties shall have a monthly reconciliation, whereby all such payments made and reimbursements received by each Party are calculated and the net amount owed to Partnership and Partnership GP, on the one hand, or Pasadena Holdings, on the other hand, shall be paid over with right of set-off. If at any time the net amount owed to either Party exceeds $1,000,000, an interim payment of such net amount owed shall be made to the Party entitled thereto within three (3) business days of such amount exceeding $1,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall act as collection agent for the other Party, nor shall any Party act as surety or endorser with respect to non-sufficient funds checks, or funds to be returned in a bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance action.

IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES THAT THE INDEMNITIES AND RELEASES IN THIS ARTICLE IV COMPLY WITH BOTH THE EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE DOCTRINE AND THE CLEAR AND CONSPICUOUS RULE AND THAT WHEREVER “REGARDLESS OF FAULT” APPEARS IN ARTICLE IV, THE DEFINITION SET OUT IN SECTION 4.1 IS INCORPORATED AS THOUGH FULLY SET OUT THEREIN.

4.6 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV ultimately will be net of (i) Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of, or are paid to the applicable Indemnitee in respect of, the Liability or (ii) other amounts recovered from any third party that actually reduce the amount of, or are paid to the applicable Indemnitee in respect of, the Liability (“Third-Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount which any Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) has paid to or on behalf of any Person entitled to indemnification or reimbursement hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds in respect of such Liability, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received minus any costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in recovering such payment over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility therefor, or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, as a consequence of the indemnification rights under this Agreement, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “wind-fall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Each member of the Partnership Group and Pasadena Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds and any Third-Party Proceeds to which such Person is entitled in connection with any Liability for which such Person seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article IV; provided, however, that such Person’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.

(c) For all claims as to which indemnification is provided under Section 4.4 or Section 4.5 other than Third-Party Claims (as to which Section 4.7 shall apply), the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee for the enforcement of the indemnity obligations shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.

4.7 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) If an Indemnitee shall receive written notice of a Third-Party Claim with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4.4 or 4.5, or any other Section of this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within fourteen (14) days of such written notice. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnitee to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.7(a) shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party shall demonstrate that it was materially prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.7(a).

(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and, unless the Indemnifying Party has specified any reservations or exceptions, to seek to settle or compromise), at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim that potentially includes Liabilities for which the Indemnitee will not be indemnified hereunder unless either the Indemnitee consents to the Indemnifying Party assuming such defense or the Indemnifying Party agrees to assume such defense and indemnify without reservation or exception. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 4.7(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third-Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions if the Indemnitee has consented to the Indemnifying Party assuming the defense notwithstanding such reservations or exceptions. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim,

such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnitee except as set forth in Section 4.7(c).

(c) If the Indemnifying Party has elected (and is permitted hereunder) to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions in such notice, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel (plus reasonably required local counsel) for all Indemnitees shall be the expense of such Indemnitees, but shall be promptly reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) Notwithstanding an election by an Indemnifying Party to defend a Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 4.7(b), the Indemnitee may, upon notice to the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of such Third-Party Claim if (i) in its exercise of reasonable business judgment, the Indemnitee determines that the Indemnifying Party is not defending such Third-Party Claim competently or in good faith, (ii) the Indemnitee determines in its exercise of reasonable business judgment that there exists a compelling business reason for such Indemnitee to defend such Third-Party Claim (other than as contemplated by the foregoing clause (i)), or (iii) the Indemnifying Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency (or has filed against it a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency), is declared bankrupt or insolvent or declares that it is bankrupt or insolvent.

(e) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third-Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in Section 4.7(b), or if an Indemnitee takes over the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided in Section 4.7(d), the Indemnifying Party shall bear, and reimburse promptly, all of the Indemnitee’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in defending such Third-Party Claim.

(f) If, pursuant to Section 4.7(d) or for any other reason, the Indemnifying Party is not defending a Third-Party Claim for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to monitor reasonably the defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided, that such monitoring activity shall not interfere in any material respect with the conduct of such defense.

(g) If an Indemnitee takes over the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided in Section 4.7(d), such Indemnitee may not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(h) No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the applicable Indemnitee or Indemnitees; provided, however, that such Indemnitee(s) shall be required to consent to such entry of judgment or to such settlement that the Indemnifying Party may recommend if the judgment or settlement (i) contains no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person, (ii) involves only monetary relief which the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay and (iii) includes a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Indemnitee be required to consent to any entry of judgment or settlement if the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order other nonmonetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee.

4.8 Additional Matters.

(a) THE INDEMNITY AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS ARTICLE IV SHALL REMAIN OPERATIVE AND IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT, REGARDLESS OF (I) ANY INVESTIGATION MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY INDEMNITEE AND (II) THE KNOWLEDGE BY THE INDEMNITEE OF LIABILITIES FOR WHICH IT MIGHT BE ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION HEREUNDER.

(b) Any claim on account of a Liability that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Party as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements.

(c) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(d) In the event of an Action for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 4.4 or 4.5 and in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant.

4.9 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if a Party has recovered any Losses from the other Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, it shall not be entitled to recover the same Losses pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

4.10 Survival of Indemnitees. The rights and obligations of each of the Parties and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IV shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

4.11 No Impact on Third Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the indemnifications provided for in this Article IV are made only for purposes of allocating responsibility for Liabilities between the Partnership Group, on the one hand, and the Pasadena Group, on the other hand, and are not intended to, and shall not, affect any obligations to, or give rise to any rights of, any Third Parties.

4.12 No Cross-Claims or Third-Party Claims. Each of the Parties agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its respective Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates to, in connection with any Third-Party Claim, assert as a counterclaim or third-party claim against any Partnership Group member or Pasadena Group member, respectively, any claim (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) that arises out of or relates to this Agreement, any breach or alleged breach hereof, the transactions contemplated hereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby on or prior to the Separation Date), or the construction, interpretation, enforceability or validity hereof, other than as contemplated by this Article IV.

4.13 Severability. If any indemnification provided for in this Article IV is determined by any arbitrator with authority to make such determination under this Article IV or by a Delaware federal or state court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Liability shall be apportioned between the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Article IV.

ARTICLE V.

INSURANCE MATTERS

5.1 Insurance Matters. Pasadena Holdings shall cooperate with Partnership and share such Information at Pasadena Holdings’ cost as is reasonably necessary in order to permit Partnership to manage and conduct its insurance matters as it deems appropriate. Each of Partnership and Partnership GP, on the one hand, and Pasadena Holdings, on the other hand shall provide the other with reasonable access to records and information relating to the insurance claims, as may be reasonably requested by such Party and/or its insurers from time to time.

ARTICLE VI.

EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Agreement for Exchange of Information. Subject to Section 6.7 and any other applicable confidentiality obligations, each of Partnership, on the one hand, and Pasadena Holdings, on the other hand, on behalf of their respective Group, agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Group, at any time on, before or after the Separation Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any Information in the possession or under the control of such respective Group which the requesting Party reasonably needs (a) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting Party (including under applicable securities or Tax Laws) by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting Party, (b) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative, Tax or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation, Tax or other similar requirements, in each case other than claims or allegations that one Party has against the other, or (c) subject to the foregoing clause (b), to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement; provided, however, that, in the event that any Party determines that any such provision of Information could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement, or waive any privilege otherwise available under applicable Law, including the attorney-client privilege, work product, joint defense, common interest or other applicable privilege (each, a “Privilege”) the Parties shall take all reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence, and shall only provide that portion of the Information that is mandatorily required by the requesting agency.

6.2 Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Group that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.6 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

6.3 Compensation for Providing Information. The Party requesting Information agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable costs, if any, of creating, gathering and copying such Information (including internal costs for time devoted by employees for creating, gathering and copying such Information), to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of the requesting Party. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other agreement between the Parties, such costs shall be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s standard methodology and procedures.

6.4 Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of Information pursuant to this Article VI and other provisions of this Agreement after the Separation Date, the Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to retain all Information relating to the other Party or its business, Assets or Liabilities in their respective possession or control on the Separation Date. No Party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information which another Party may have the right to obtain pursuant to this Agreement prior to the end of the retention period established in such Party’s standard document retention policies without first notifying the other Parties of the proposed destruction and giving the other Parties the opportunity to take possession of such information prior to such destruction; provided, however, that in the case of any Information relating to Taxes, employee benefits or Environmental Liabilities, such retention period shall be extended to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extensions thereof).

6.5 Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation. After the Separation Date, except in the case of an adversarial Action by one Party against another Party, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Parties, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, managers, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any Records (unless the provision of any Record would result in the waiver of any applicable Privilege) or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, managers, other personnel and agents) or Records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith, except to the extent such costs and expenses are covered by indemnification under Section 4.4 or Section 4.5. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.

6.6 Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to Section 6.7, until the five (5)-year anniversary of the Separation Date, each of Pasadena Holdings and Partnership (the “Receiving Party”), on behalf of itself and each of its Group members, agrees to hold, and to cause their respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to its own confidential and proprietary information, all Information that is owned by the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) or its Group and that is either in its possession or furnished by the Disclosing Party or its Group or its Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise (such Information, “Confidential Information”), and shall not use such Confidential Information other than for such purposes as may be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, “Confidential Information” shall not include Information that has been (i) in the public domain through no fault of the Receiving Party or any of its Group members or any of their respective Representatives, as applicable, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the Receiving Party (or any of its Group members) which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation, or (iii) independently generated without reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or its Group.

(b) Each Receiving Party, on behalf of itself and each of its Group members, agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any such Confidential Information to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such Confidential Information (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such Confidential Information), except in compliance with Section 6.7. Without limiting the foregoing, when any such Confidential Information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, except as provided in Section 6.4, the Receiving Party will promptly after request of the Disclosing Party either return to the Disclosing Party all such Confidential Information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or certify to the Disclosing Party that it has destroyed such Confidential Information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon); provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall not be required to destroy or return any such Confidential Information to the extent that (i) the Receiving Party or any of its Group members is required to retain such Confidential Information in order to comply with any applicable Law, (ii) such Confidential Information has been backed up electronically pursuant to the Receiving Party’s standard document retention policies and will be managed and ultimately destroyed consistent with such policies or (iii) it is kept in the Receiving Party’s or any of its Group member’s files for purposes of resolving any dispute that may arise under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

6.7 Protective Arrangements. If the Receiving Party or any member of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any such Confidential Information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (or any of its Group members) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, the Receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Disclosing Party prior to disclosing or providing such Confidential Information and shall cooperate at the expense of the Disclosing Party in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by the Disclosing Party. Subject to the foregoing, the Receiving Party may thereafter disclose or provide such Confidential Information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority.

ARTICLE VII.

FURTHER ASSURANCES AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

7.1 Further Assurances.

(a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, on and after the Separation Date, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, regulations and agreements, to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, on and after the Separation Date, each Party hereto shall cooperate with the other Parties, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party, to execute and deliver, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents, approvals or authorizations of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument (including any Third-Party consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by any other Party hereto from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transfers of the Assets and the assignment and assumption of the Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

7.2 Performance. Partnership and Partnership GP will cause to be performed, and hereby guarantee the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by any Partnership Group member.

7.3 Conflicts with and between Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, in the case of any conflict between this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in relation to any matters addressed by this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.

7.4 Attorney Client Privilege. Pasadena Holdings agrees that, in the event of any Dispute or other litigation, dispute, controversy or claim between Partnership or a Partnership Group member, on the one hand, and Pasadena Holdings or a Pasadena Group member, on the other hand, Pasadena Holdings will not, and will cause the members of its Group not to, seek any waiver of any applicable Privilege with respect to any oral or written communications relating to advice given prior to the Separation Date by counsel to Partnership or Partnership GP or any Person that was a Subsidiary of Partnership of Partnership GP prior to the Separation Date, regardless of any argument that such advice may have affected the interests of the Parties. Moreover, Pasadena Holdings will, and will cause the members of its Group to, honor any such applicable Privilege between Partnership and the members of its Group and its or their counsel, and will not assert that Partnership or a member of its Group has waived, relinquished or otherwise lost such Privilege. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any litigation, dispute, controversy or claim between Partnership or a member of its Group, on the one hand, and a Third-Party other than a Pasadena Group member, on the other hand, Partnership shall retain the right to assert any applicable Privilege with respect to any communications relating to advice given prior to the Separation Date by counsel to Partnership or Partnership GP or any Person that was a Subsidiary of Partnership or Partnership GP prior to the Separation Date (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this Section 7.4 shall prevent Pasadena Holdings from asserting any applicable Privilege with respect to the matters discussed herein in the event such Privilege is not waived by Partnership).

7.5 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Parties, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any Tax proceeding with respect to Taxes imposed on or with respect to the operations or activities of the Partnership Group and the Pasadena Group. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon such other Party’s request) the provision of records and Information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional Information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(b) Treatment of Payments for Tax Purposes. For all Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat (a) any payment required by this Agreement (other than payments with respect to interest accruing after the Separation Date) as either a contribution by Partnership to Pasadena Holdings or a distribution by Pasadena Holdings to Partnership, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Separation Date or as a payment of an Assumed Liability or a Partnership Liability; and (b) any payment of interest as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the Party entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment, in either case except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

8.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof or thereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.

8.7 Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent that any delay or failure in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, other than a delay or failure to make a payment, results from any cause beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, such as acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, embargoes, epidemics, war, riots, insurrections, fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, unusually severe weather conditions, labor problems or unavailability of parts, or, in the case of computer systems, any failure in electrical or air conditioning equipment.

8.12 Waivers of Default. Waiver by any Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of such Party. No failure or delay by any Party (or the applicable member of its Group) in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

8.13 Specific Performance.
