(v)                                 the Partnership Group Member will have the right to terminate its obligation to purchase the Applicable Caribbean FLNG Interests under this Article VI and the related purchase and sale agreement if the results of any searches, surveys, tests or inspections conducted pursuant to paragraph (iv) above are, in the reasonable opinion of the Partnership Group, unsatisfactory; and

(vi)                              neither Exmar nor the applicable Partnership Group Member shall have any obligation to sell or buy the Applicable Caribbean FLNG Interests if any of the consents referred to in Section 6.1(b) above have not been obtained.

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1                                    Exmar Indemnification.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.2, Exmar shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership Group from and against: (a) Losses to the Partnership Group arising from (i) the failure of the Partnership Group, immediately after the Closing Date, to be the owner of such valid leasehold interests or fee ownership interests in and to the assets contributed by the Exmar Entities to the Partnership Group prior to or on the Closing Date (the “Contribution Assets”) as are necessary to enable the Partnership Entities to own and operate the Contribution Assets in substantially the same manner that the Contribution Assets were owned and operated by the Exmar Entities immediately prior to the respective dates on which each such Contribution Asset was acquired by the Partnership Entities or (ii) the failure of the Partnership Entities to have by the Closing Date any consent or governmental permit necessary to allow the Partnership Entities to own or operate the Contribution Assets in substantially the same manner that the Contribution Assets were owned and operated by the Exmar Entities immediately prior to the respective dates on which each such Contribution Asset was acquired by the Partnership Entities, in each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the extent that Exmar is notified by the MLP of such Losses within three (3) years after the Closing Date; (b) all federal, state, foreign and local income tax liabilities attributable to the operation of the Contribution Assets prior to the Closing Date, including any such income tax liabilities of the Exmar Entities that may result from the consummation of the formation transactions for the Partnership Group and the MLP, but excluding any federal, state, foreign and local income taxes reserved on the books of the Partnership Group on the Closing Date; and (c) any costs incurred as a result of early termination of the UK Capital Lease.

Section 8.2                                    Indemnification Procedures.

(a)                                 The Partnership Group Members agree that within a reasonable period of time after they become aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, they will provide notice thereof in writing to Exmar specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim.

(b)                                 Exmar shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Partnership Group that are covered by the indemnification set forth in Section 8.1, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Partnership Group unless it includes a full release of the Partnership Group from such matter or issues, as the case may be.

16

(c)                                  The Partnership Group Members agree to cooperate fully with Exmar with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in Section 8.1, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to Exmar of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Partnership Group may receive, permitting the names of the members of the Partnership Group to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to Exmar of any files, records or other information of the Partnership Group that Exmar considers relevant to such defense and the making available to Exmar of any employees of the Partnership Group; provided, however, that in connection therewith Exmar agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Partnership Group and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by a Partnership Group Member pursuant to this Section 8.2.  In no event shall the obligation of the Partnership Group to cooperate with Exmar as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Partnership Group an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article VIII; provided, however, that the Partnership Group Members may, at their own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense.  Exmar agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Partnership Group reasonably informed as to the status of any such defense (including providing such counsel with such information related to any such defense as such counsel may reasonably request) but Exmar shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.

In determining the amount of any Loss for which any of the members of the Partnership Group is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Partnership Group, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the Partnership Group as a result of such claim, and (ii) all amounts recovered by the Partnership Group under contractual indemnities from third Persons.  The Partnership Group hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to realize any applicable insurance proceeds or amounts recoverable under such contractual indemnities; provided, however, that the costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Partnership Group in connection with such efforts shall be promptly reimbursed by Exmar in advance of any determination of whether such insurance proceeds or other amounts will be recoverable.
