(a) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will prepare or cause to be prepared and deliver to the Seller Representative a calculation of the Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Change of Control Payments, the Transaction Expenses and the final Closing Adjustment Amount (the

-4-

“Preliminary Closing Adjustment Statement”). The Purchaser shall provide the Seller Representative and its representatives with reasonable access to the books, records and other documents (including work papers) pertaining to or used in connection with the preparation of the Preliminary Closing Adjustment Statement.

(b) The Seller Representative shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the Preliminary Closing Adjustment Statement during which to notify the Purchaser of any dispute of any item contained in the Preliminary Closing Adjustment Statement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail (to the extent available) the basis for such dispute (the “Disputed Items”). If the Seller Representative does not notify the Purchaser of any Disputed Items within such thirty (30) day period, the Preliminary Closing Adjustment Statement shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Adjustment Statement. The Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any Disputed Items as promptly as possible and, upon such resolution, the Final Closing Adjustment Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the agreement of the Purchaser and the Seller Representative.

(c) If the Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve any Disputed Items within fifteen (15) Business Days (or such longer period as the Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall mutually agree in writing) of notice of a dispute, the Parties shall engage an independent accounting firm mutually agreeable to the Purchaser and the Seller Representative (the “Arbitrator”) to resolve all issues having a bearing on such dispute and such resolution shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Arbitrator shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties, and its decision for each of the Disputed Items must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Preliminary Closing Adjustment Statement and the Disputed Items, respectively, and the Arbitrator shall further limit its review to whether the Preliminary Closing Adjustment Statement or any component thereof contained mathematical errors and/or to whether the Preliminary Closing Adjustment Statement or any component thereof was calculated in accordance with this Agreement. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to assist the Arbitrator in connection with its work and to provide any information reasonably requested by the Arbitrator in connection therewith as promptly as possible. The Arbitrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete its work within thirty (30) days of its engagement. The expenses of the Arbitrator shall be paid by the Seller Parties, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually awarded to the Seller Parties or the Purchaser, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by or on behalf of the Seller Parties and the Purchaser. For example, if the amount contested were $1,000, and the Arbitrator awarded $600 in favor of the Seller Representative’s position, then 60% of the Arbitrator’s costs would be borne by the Purchaser. The calculation of the Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4 is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Adjustment Statement” and the amount of the Closing Adjustment Amount set forth on the Final Closing Adjustment Statement is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Adjustment Amount.”

-5-

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Adjustment Statement in accordance with this Section 1.4, (i) if Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount is greater than the Final Closing Adjustment Amount (such difference being referred to herein as the “Adjustment Surplus”), then (A) the Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the entire Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Seller Representative, and (B) the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller Representative an amount equal to the Adjustment Surplus, or (ii) if the amount of the Final Closing Adjustment Amount is greater than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount (such difference being referred to herein as the “Adjustment Deficit”), then the Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release (A) an amount equal to the Adjustment Deficit from the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Purchaser, and (B) the balance, if any, of the Adjustment Escrow Fund (after release to the Purchaser of the amount set forth in the preceding clause (ii)(A)) to the Seller Representative; provided, however, if the Adjustment Escrow Fund is less than the Adjustment Deficit (such shortfall being referred to herein as the “Adjustment Escrow Shortfall”), then (x) the Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the entire Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Purchaser and (y) the Seller Parties shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the Adjustment Escrow Shortfall. Any payment required under this Section 1.4(d) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account(s) as shall be designated in writing by the Seller Representative or the Purchaser, as applicable, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable payment date and shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, all payments to the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) shall be net of the aggregate amount of any Change of Control Payments due and payable with respect to such payment (which shall include the employer portion of any employment, payroll or other Tax withholdings or similar Taxes thereon), which aggregate amount shall be paid to the Company, and the Company shall pay such amount to the applicable payee(s) at such same time. The Seller Representative shall promptly distribute to each Seller such Seller’s pro rata share of any amounts distributed to the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) in accordance with the ownership percentages set forth on Schedule 1.1. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, following the payment of any amount to the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 1.4(d), the Purchaser shall have no further obligation to the Sellers with respect to such amount, and the Purchaser shall not be responsible for the Seller Representative’s distribution of such amount to the Seller’s in accordance with this Section 1.4(d).

(f) The Seller Representative shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of a Preliminary Earnout Statement during which to notify the Purchaser of any dispute to the Earnout Amount set forth on such Preliminary Earnout Statement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail (to the extent available) the basis for such dispute (the “Disputed Earnout Items”). If the Seller Representative does not notify the Purchaser of any Disputed Earnout Items within such thirty (30) day period, the Preliminary Earnout Statement shall be deemed to be the Final Earnout Statement with respect to the applicable Earnout Period.

The Arbitrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete its work within thirty (30) days of its engagement. The expenses of the Arbitrator shall be paid by

-8-

the Seller Parties, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount awarded to the Seller Parties or the Purchaser, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by or on behalf of the Seller Parties and the Purchaser. For example, if the amount contested were $1,000, and the Arbitrator awarded $600 in favor of the Seller Representative’s position, then 60% of the Arbitrator’s costs would be borne by the Purchaser. The Preliminary Earnout Statement for each Earnout Period as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5(g) shall each be referred to herein as a “Final Earnout Statement.”

(h) Within five (5) Business Days after the determination of a Final Earnout Statement in accordance with this Section 1.5, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller Representative an amount equal to the Earnout Amount (if any) for the applicable Earnout Period as set forth on the Final Earnout Statement (net of the aggregate amount of any Change of Control Payments due and payable with respect to such Earnout Amount (which shall include the employer portion of any employment, payroll or other Tax withholdings or similar Taxes thereon), which the Purchaser, on behalf of the Company, shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicable payee(s) at such same time).

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, following the Purchaser’s delivery of the Earnout Amount to the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 1.5(h), the Purchaser shall have no further obligation to the Sellers with respect to the Earnout Amount for the applicable Earnout Period, and the Purchaser shall not be responsible for the Seller Representative’s distribution of such Earnout Amount to the Seller’s in accordance with this Section 1.5(h). Any payment required under this Section 1.5 shall be made in by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account(s) as shall be designated in writing by the Seller Representative at least three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable payment date.

(i) The Seller Parties agree that any information or data provided under this Section 1.5 is confidential and proprietary in favor of the Purchaser and its Affiliates. The Seller Parties agree not to (i) use any such information or data other than for the purposes of reviewing, verifying or disputing the applicable Earnout Amount or (ii) disclose any such information or data to any Person other than to their representatives who are assisting the Seller Parties in connection with any review, verification or dispute of the applicable Earnout Amount.

(j) The Seller Parties hereby acknowledge that the achievement of applicable gross profit results sufficient to result in any Earnout Amounts is uncertain and that the Company and the Business may not achieve such level, and it is therefore not assured that the Seller Parties will be entitled to any Earnout Amounts.

The Purchaser shall maintain separate accounting books and records for the Company and the Business during the Earnout Periods.

To the extent that such amounts are so withheld and paid over to the relevant Governmental Entity by the Purchaser, the Company, or the Seller Parties, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided, that the Purchaser or the Company shall first provide notice of such withholding to the Sellers and provide the Sellers the opportunity to obtain relief from such withholding, except that notice and an opportunity to obtain relief shall not apply where the payment amounts constitute wages subject to normal withholdings under United States federal, state or local or foreign Tax laws.

-10-

whatsoever, known or unknown, actual or potential, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, that such Seller Party has or may have, now or in the future, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any act of commission or omission, errors, negligence, strict liability, breach of contract, tort, violations of law, matter or cause whatsoever from the beginning of time to the Closing Date; provided, however, that such release shall not cover any claims arising under this Agreement, including any Exhibits, Seller Ancillary Documents or Purchaser Ancillary Documents.

Section 1.8 Purchaser Designee. The Parties agree that the Purchaser may assign the right to purchase certain Interests to one or more of its Affiliates (each, a “Purchaser Designee”). Notwithstanding any such assignment, the Purchaser shall remain liable for, and any assignment or execution of any Purchaser Ancillary Document shall not relieve the Purchaser of, its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Any reference to the Purchaser in this Agreement shall to the extent applicable also be deemed a reference to the applicable Purchaser Designee, except where in context of this Agreement such use would not be appropriate.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER PARTIES

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules referenced in this Article II (collectively, the “Company Disclosure Schedules”), which shall qualify the representations and warranties of the Seller Parties set forth in this Article II, the Seller Parties hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Purchaser as follows:

The Company is duly qualified or registered as a foreign entity to transact business under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its activities or the location of the properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification or registration other than jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or registered would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has heretofore delivered to the Purchaser correct copies of the Organizational Documents of the Company as currently in effect and the partnership record books of the Company with respect to actions taken by its partners. The Company is not qualified or registered to do business as a foreign entity in any jurisdiction outside of the State of Texas.

The Seller Parties shall reimburse the Purchaser for Taxes of the Company with respect to any such Pre-Closing Tax Returns (whether prepared by the Purchaser or the Seller Representative) within fifteen (15) days after payment by the Purchaser or the Company of such Taxes to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for Tax liability included in the computation of Net Working Capital and reflected in the Final Closing Adjustment Statement.

(d) Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date.

The Parties agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Company (plus other relevant items for income Tax purposes) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company for all income Tax purposes in accordance with Code Section 1060 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and the allocation schedule attached hereto as Exhibit C.

Additionally, for any notice of final partnership adjustment received by the Company with respect to which an “imputed underpayment” (within the meaning of Section 6225(b) of the Code) may be determined, the Seller Representative shall cause the Company to timely make the election pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code and timely file or otherwise provide all required reports and statements, and otherwise take any other action, required by Section 6226 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder to push out the Tax adjustments or “imputed underpayment” to the Seller Parties.

(ii) All other Tax Contests against the Company shall be controlled by the Purchaser, provided that if any such Tax claim could result in a Tax Indemnification Event under which the Sellers may be subject to indemnification obligations owed to Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.1(e), then the Seller Representative shall be entitled to participate in such claims and the Purchaser shall not settle, abandon, or otherwise resolve any such claims without the written consent of the Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(j) Tax Refunds. The Purchaser shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to the Seller Representative, for the benefit of the Sellers, any Tax refunds of Taxes paid by the Company prior to the Closing Date or by the Sellers after the Closing Date pursuant to the indemnification provisions of Section 7.1(e), Section 4.3(c) or Section 4.3(d), attributable to the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion thereof that are received or credited to the Purchaser or the Company within ten (10) days after the receipt of such refunds or credits, solely to the extent any such Tax refunds are not reflected as a Tax asset included in the computation of Net Working Capital and reflected in the Final Closing Adjustment Statement. Upon the request of any Governmental Entity for a return of any such refund or credit described in this Section 4.3(j), within five (5) days of receiving notice of such demand from the Purchaser, the Seller Representative shall pay to the Purchaser or the Company the amount of such refund or credit and any requested penalties or interest.

None of the Seller Parties, the Company, nor their respective officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives shall make any communication to employees of the Company regarding any Company Benefit Plan or any Employee Benefit Plan maintained by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any compensation or benefits to be provided after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Employee Covenants. The Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide that any employee benefit plans or programs it, the Company, or any Subsidiary maintains or adopts with respect to the individuals who are employed by the Company as of the Closing Date and who remain employed immediately after the Closing Date (the “Company Employees”) for the year that includes the Closing Date treat employment with the Company prior to the Closing Date the same as employment with the Purchaser, the Company, or any Subsidiary from and after the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility and vesting (including, without limitation, the satisfaction of any waiting periods under any welfare benefit plans maintained by the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Welfare Plans”)) and, solely with respect to severance and paid time off, benefit accrual under such plans (except with respect to any defined benefit plans, retiree benefits or similar amounts or to the extent recognizing same would result in duplication of any benefits). No pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions or waiting periods applicable with respect to medical benefits under the Purchaser Welfare Plans will apply to the Company Employees to the extent that such limitations, exclusions or waiting periods were satisfied under the comparable welfare benefit plans maintained by the Company as of the Closing Date. Subject to adequate substantiation of such payments, the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide that the Purchaser Welfare Plans in which a Company Employee participates immediately after the Closing Date will recognize, for purposes of satisfying any deductibles, co-pays and out-of-pocket maximums, any payment made by such Company Employee prior to the Closing Date in the year that includes the Closing Date toward deductibles, co-pays and out-of-pocket maximums to the extent recognized under any welfare plan of the Company.

(c) Third-Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Section 4.4 are solely for the benefit of the Parties and no employee or former employee or any other Person shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 4.4 or have any cause of action or claim based on this Section 4.4. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend or modify any Company Benefit Plan, Purchaser Welfare Plan, or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by the Company, the Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates; (ii) alter or limit the ability of the Company, the Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to amend, modify, or terminate any Company Benefit Plan or any Purchaser Welfare Plan; or (iii) confer upon any employee, former employee, or any other Person any right to employment or continued employment, benefits or continued service with the Company, the Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 4.5 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification. Unless required by law, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, the Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company to, amend, repeal or modify the provisions in the Company’s Organizational Documents relating to the exculpation or indemnification of any officers, directors, partners or managers in a manner that adversely impacts such officers’, directors’, partners’ or managers’ rights related to exculpation or indemnification as set forth in such Organizational Documents on the date hereof.

For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date or, if shorter, the applicable period specified in the Purchaser’s document retention policies that are in accordance with applicable law and not less than three (3) years, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to (a) preserve the books and records relating to the Company relating to periods prior to and including the Closing Date, and (b) upon reasonable notice afford the Seller Representative and its authorized agents reasonable access (for the purpose of examining and, at the Seller Representative’s sole expense, copying), during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to such books and records to the extent related to audit, accounting or Tax matters or any proceeding being actively contested or defended against by any Seller Party; provided, however, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, that (x) the foregoing shall not apply in the context of any disputes, arbitration or other proceeding between or among the Parties; (y) the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information which, in the good faith judgment of the Purchaser, the disclosure thereof would reasonably be expected to result in any violation of applicable law or cause any privilege (including attorney-client privilege) which the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates would be entitled to assert to be undermined with respect to such information, and (z) the Purchaser and the Company shall not be obligated to provide any Person with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 4.6 where such access would violate any law.

Section 7.2 Indemnification Obligations of the Purchaser. The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parties and each of their agents and representatives and each of the Affiliates, heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, costs, expenses, penalties, fines and judgments (at equity or at law, including statutory and common) and damages actually incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party following the Closing Date (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (the “Seller Losses”) arising out of or relating to:

(b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by the Purchaser in this Agreement or in any of the Purchaser Ancillary Documents.

Section 7.3 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Promptly after receipt by a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (hereinafter collectively referred to as an “Indemnified Party”) of notice by a third party (including any Governmental Entity) of any complaint or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payment from any other Party for any Purchaser Losses or any Seller Losses (as the case may be), such Indemnified Party will notify the Purchaser or the Seller Representative, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”), promptly following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such complaint or of notice of the commencement of such audit, investigation, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under this Agreement with respect to such claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim. The Indemnifying Party will have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days thereafter assuming full responsibility for any Purchaser Losses or Seller Losses (as the case may be) resulting from such audit, investigation, action or proceeding, to assume the defense of such audit, investigation, action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, that, the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume such defense if (i) in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Party, there is a reasonable likelihood of a material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, (ii) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with a criminal proceeding or any non-criminal proceeding the adverse determination of which, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) the principal relief sought by such action is an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iv) the Purchaser reasonably believes that the Purchaser Losses relating to such claim could exceed the

-40-

maximum amount that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties could then be entitled to receive under this Article VI or (v) the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such audit, investigation, action or proceeding. Should an Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a third-party claim in accordance with this Section 7.3, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any of the Indemnified Party’s legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the investigation or defense thereof. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of the audit, investigation, action or proceeding on the terms provided above or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such ten (10) day period, or if the Indemnifying Party is otherwise not entitled to assume such defense, then such Indemnified Party may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any such audit, investigation, action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel upon the final, non-appealable resolution of such audit, investigation, action, or proceeding; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not be required to reimburse the Indemnified Party for the fees and disbursements of more than one (1) counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single audit, investigation, action or proceeding. In any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, will have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, will at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which they are maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.

(b) No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liability arising out of such claim and (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party and does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term which in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.

-41-

(c) In the event an Indemnified Party claims a right to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII, such Indemnified Party will send written notice of such claim to the appropriate Indemnifying Party. Such notice will specify the basis for such claim and the facts and circumstances concerning such claim, describe the amount thereof, if known, or a good faith estimate of such amount, and the method of computation of such amount, all with reasonable particularity. As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Party has given such notice, such Indemnified Party and the appropriate Indemnifying Party will establish the merits and amount of such claim (by mutual agreement, litigation, arbitration or otherwise) and, within ten (10) Business Days of the final determination of the merits and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party will pay to the Indemnified Party immediately available funds in an amount equal to such claim as determined hereunder.

Section 7.4 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Seller Parties contained herein shall not be extinguished by the Closing, but shall survive the Closing for, and all claims for indemnification in connection therewith shall be asserted not later than twelve (12) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) each of the Fundamental Representations shall survive without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue indefinitely, and (b) each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Authorization) and Section 3.5 (No Brokers) shall survive without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue indefinitely. The covenants and agreements of the Parties hereunder that require performance at or prior to the Closing shall terminate immediately following the Closing; provided, however, that all other covenants and agreements of the Parties shall survive without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day a claim for indemnification may be asserted hereunder, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 7.5 Liability Limits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein:

(a) The liability of the Seller Parties for Purchaser Losses with respect to any claims made pursuant to Section 7.1(a) shall be limited to 50% of such Purchaser Losses; provided, however, that the liability of the Seller Parties for Purchaser Losses arising out of Fraud or breaches of the Fundamental Representations shall not be subject to such limitation.

(b) The total aggregate amount of the liability of the Seller Parties for Purchaser Losses with respect to any claims made pursuant to Section 7.1(a) shall be limited to TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($200,000) (the “Cap Amount”); provided, however, that the liability of the Seller Parties for Purchaser Losses arising out of Fraud or breaches of the Fundamental Representations shall not be subject to the Cap Amount; provided, further, that, the maximum amount of Purchaser Losses that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover from each Seller Party under this Article VIII (including Purchaser Losses arising out of breaches of the Fundamental Representations) shall not exceed the aggregate portion of the Purchase Price actually received by such Seller Party and its Affiliates.

-42-

(c) Any funds remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date shall be released to the Sellers; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold any funds that are the subject of asserted but unresolved claims pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(d) The R&W Insurance Policy is the sole and exclusive remedy in respect of Purchaser Losses for indemnification under Section 7.1(a) other than the Indemnification Escrow Fund and the Sellers shall not have aggregate liability in respect of Purchaser Losses under Section 7.1(a) in excess of the Cap Amount, in each case, except in the case of Purchaser Losses arising out of Fraud or the Fundamental Representations. Prior to seeking indemnification under this Article VII for Purchaser Losses resulting from or relating to Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(e), a Purchaser Indemnified Party shall first make a claim to seek recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy to the same extent as they would if such Purchaser Losses were not subject to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that such Purchaser Losses result from or relate to Fraud. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing set forth in this Section 7.5(d) shall require a Purchaser Indemnified Party to file suit or pursue or initiate litigation, mediation or any other applicable proceedings against the insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy prior to seeking indemnification under this Article VII.

(e) The Purchaser, on behalf of Purchaser Indemnified Parties, agrees that the R&W Insurance Policy expressly excludes any subrogation rights to pursue any claim against the Seller Parties other than with respect to the Fraud of any Seller Party.

(f) If any Purchaser Losses or Seller Losses sustained by an Indemnified Party are covered by an insurance policy (other than the R&W Insurance Policy), or an indemnification, contribution, or similar obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party), the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution, or similar payments; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall be required to institute any legal proceeding against any third party. The amount of any Purchaser Losses or Seller Losses subject to indemnification under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable, shall be determined net of any third-party insurance or indemnity, contribution or similar proceeds that have actually been recovered in cash by the Indemnified Party after deducting therefrom all deductible amounts, increases in premiums specifically tied to such recoveries and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such recoveries in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification. If any Indemnified Party actually receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution, or similar payments after the settlement of any indemnification claim under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable, such Indemnified Party shall refund to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution, or similar payments, up to the amount actually received in connection with such indemnification claim.

-43-

(g) No Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity in respect of any one Purchaser Loss or related group of Purchaser Losses if recovery is obtainable, or has already been obtained, pursuant to Section 1.4.

Section 7.6 Materiality. For purposes of this Article VIII, any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty (other than Section 2.8, Section 2.10(a), and the first sentence of Section 2.21) shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

Section 7.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification. For all Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat (and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 7.8 Exclusive Remedy. The Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from Fraud on the part of a Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII (except for disputes under Section 1.4 or Section 1.5, which disputes will be resolved in accordance with the dispute mechanisms set forth in Section 1.4 or Section 1.5, as applicable); provided, however, nothing in this Section 7.8 shall limit (a) any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled, (b) any Person’s right to enforce such Person’s rights under any Seller Ancillary Document or Purchaser Ancillary Document, or (c) the Purchaser’s right to recover any Purchaser Losses under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(c) All decisions and actions by the Seller Representative, including the defense or settlement of any claims for which any Seller Parties may be required to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to Article VIII hereof, shall be binding upon all of the Seller Parties, and no Seller Party shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties agrees to take the steps necessary to ensure that any and all privileges attaching to the Privileged Materials shall survive the Closing, remain in effect and be owned and controlled solely by the Seller Representative. The Purchaser also agrees that it will not directly or indirectly obtain or seek to obtain from H&B any such Privileged Materials, unless such Privileged Materials are relevant and necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, to litigation between the Company and any party other than the Seller Parties, the Seller Representative or their respective Affiliates, and agrees not to access, review, use or rely on any Privileged Materials in any Dispute involving any of the Parties after the Closing; provided, however, that the Purchaser also agrees that neither the Purchaser nor its representatives and Affiliates may waive any privileges as to any Privileged Materials without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative.
