SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Environmental Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, unitholders and representatives and hold

them harmless from any loss, liability, claim, damage, charge, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney and expert fees and expenses) suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party with respect to the breach or violation of any Environmental Law (in effect as of the Closing Date) to the extent arising out of acts or omissions occurring, or conditions existing (whether known or unknown), at or before the close of business on December 31, 2006 in connection with the Assets (“Environmental Loss”), whether such loss, liability, claim, damage, charge, cost or expense is incurred before or after the Closing Date and whether arising onsite or off-site, including, but not limited to, all Environmental Losses in connection with bringing the Assets into compliance with Environmental Laws in effect as of the Closing Date and the investigation or remediation of hazardous substance contamination involving the Assets; provided, however, that, except with respect to Environmental Losses attributable to the Retained Environmental Claims which shall remain the responsibility of Seller, including the undertaking, conduct and continuation of remediation thereof as required by Applicable Law (the “Remedial Activity”) without monetary limitation, Seller’s aggregate liability hereunder for Environmental Losses, excluding Environmental Losses attributable to Retained Environmental Claims, shall be limited to $15,000,000, and, further provided, that subsequent to the Closing Date and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, Buyer covenants and agrees not to voluntarily undertake any specific affirmative environmental investigative program, the intent of which is to discover, locate or uncover any environmental conditions or omissions relating to the Assets for the sole purpose of establishing an Environmental Claim or Loss for which Buyer would seek indemnification from Seller. Such covenant, however, shall not apply to the undertaking by Buyer of (i) normal construction, relocation, maintenance and repair activity involving the Assets, (ii) any investigation of environmental conditions related to the Assets which is determined by Buyer to be required for purposes of compliance with Environmental Laws, or (iii) any investigation or delineation of environmental conditions with respect to the Assets required by a Governmental Authority, it being understood by the Parties that any of the foregoing, may lead to the discovery of an environmental condition or omission which may form the basis for an Environmental Claim hereunder.

If after the Closing Date, contamination begins to migrate on-site with respect to the Assets from an off-site location, Buyer shall be responsible for remediating any on-site contamination resulting therefrom and for any increased costs incurred by Seller with respect to ongoing Remedial Activity, except to the extent the off-site contamination was caused by Seller, or initially emanated from on-site contamination attributable to Seller. Contamination that migrates on-site from an identified, existing off-site location as a result of Remedial Activity being undertaken by Seller shall remain the responsibility and liability of Seller. In the event currently unknown off-site contamination migrates on-site as a result of Remedial Activity being undertaken by Seller, then Seller will modify its operations with respect to such Remedial Activity to the extent such operations are contributing to the on-site migration and such modifications shall not unreasonably interfere with such party’s other ongoing Remedial Activities, and Seller will cooperate with Buyer to keep the migration off-site and to develop a cooperative remediation plan for such on-site migration.

(a) Seller’s liability under this Section 10.1, except with respect to Retained Environmental Claims (which are not subject to a deductible, a cap, or limitation of time), shall not commence to accrue until Buyer has incurred an aggregate of $250,000 in Environmental Losses, which sum shall be deemed a deductible, for which Seller shall

have no liability. Seller’s liability under this Section 10.1 shall be monetary only and Buyer shall not be entitled to make a claim for specific performance with respect to any Remedial Action (as defined below).

(b) Without limiting the other provisions of this Section 10, if Buyer has a claim against Seller related to an Environmental Loss, Buyer shall manage any investigation, remediation, corrective action or other activities (“Remedial Action”) required to address the conditions giving rise to such claim. Without limiting Buyer’s right to make claims for indemnification under Section 10.1, Buyer shall cooperate with Seller and shall, if reasonable, avoid taking any action that would have an adverse effect on Seller’s ability to seek reimbursement under any applicable insurance policy for the benefit of Seller, or on Seller’s ability to exercise any available contractual rights of contribution or indemnification.

Buyer shall (i) provide Seller the opportunity to review in advance such Remedial Action to be taken or implemented and the form and substance of any plan, report or submission to be transmitted to any Governmental Authority regarding such Remedial Action, and (ii) provide Seller periodic written reports regarding the status of such Remedial Action, including any correspondence with any Governmental Authority regarding such Remedial Action, but Buyer’s decisions after the Closing Date on such matters shall not be subject to Seller’s approval.

(c) In the event that a dispute arises hereunder with respect to the amount of any Environmental Loss, then Buyer and Seller shall select a nationally recognized environmental consultant to arbitrate such dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in subparagraph (d) below. If Buyer and Seller cannot agree on one such environmental consultant within 30 calendar days, each Party shall select its own nationally recognized environmental consultant within 30 calendar days thereafter, which consultants shall jointly select a third environmental consultant to arbitrate such dispute. The agreed upon or selected environmental consultant shall be deemed the “Environmental Arbitrator.” The arbitration provided for in this subparagraph (c) and in subparagraph (d) below shall be the Parties’ exclusive remedy in respect of a dispute concerning indemnification for environmental matters under this Section 10.1.

(d) In accordance with the then current Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, Buyer and Seller shall submit disputes concerning indemnification for Environmental Losses under this Section 10.1 and their respective estimates of the applicable Environmental Loss to the Environmental Arbitrator for a final, binding resolution, and the Environmental Arbitrator shall choose one or the other of such estimates as the final amount of Environmental Loss. The arbitration shall be conducted in Denver, Colorado. No transcript or recording shall be made of any arbitration session. The decision of the Environmental Arbitrator shall be final and binding on Buyer and Seller for all purposes and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The losing Party shall pay the expenses of the Environmental Arbitrator and each Party shall pay the expenses of the consultant, if any, hired by such Party to select the Environmental Arbitrator.

(e) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide Seller with prompt written notice of any releases, leaks or spills of Polluting Substances or hazardous substances occurring on the Assets and Transferred Real Property reportable to any Governmental Authority (collectively a “Release”), with full particulars as to the time, date and location thereof, the substance involved and steps or methods undertaken with respect to clean-up or remediation thereof. In the event a Release can be reasonably demonstrated to have impacted or exacerbated any Environmental Loss indemnified by Seller hereunder, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith an appropriate allocation of the remediation cost attributable thereto. In the event the Parties cannot come to a mutually agreeable settlement of the costs to be allocated, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in the manner provided above.

(f) With respect to any Environmental Losses indemnified by Seller herein, including those attributable to Retained Environmental Claims, at such time as Seller has received a closure permit or a notice of closure from the appropriate Governmental Authority with respect thereto, Seller’s indemnity shall cease with respect thereto and Seller shall have no further liability or responsibility regarding the same.

10.2 Other Indemnification by Seller. Except with respect to Environmental Losses for which Seller is obligated to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, Seller shall indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, unitholders, agents and representatives against and hold them harmless from any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, including costs of investigation) suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party to the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller which survives the Closing contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto (it being agreed and acknowledged by the Parties that for purposes of Buyer’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.2 the representations and warranties of Seller contained herein shall not be deemed qualified by any references herein to materiality generally or to whether or not any such breach results or may result in a Material Adverse Effect),

(b) any breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement,

(d) any Excluded Assets;

provided, however, that Seller shall not have any liability under clause (a) above unless the aggregate of all losses, liabilities, costs and expenses relating thereto for which Seller would, but for this proviso, be liable exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $100,000, which shall be considered a deductible and shall not be deemed a liability of Seller (the “Threshold Amount”); and provided further, however, that Seller’s liability under clause (a) above shall in no event exceed $15,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”) (except that neither the Threshold Amount nor the Indemnification Cap shall apply to any breach of Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4(b) or

5.7, or a breach of any representations or warranties of Seller that were made with an intent to mislead or defraud or with a reckless disregard of the accuracy thereof). In no event shall Seller be obligated to indemnify Buyer or any other Person with respect to any matter to the extent that Seller has already provided indemnity for such matter pursuant to this Agreement.

10.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify Seller, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives against and hold them harmless from any loss, liability, Claim, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) suffered or incurred by any such Indemnified Party to the extent arising from:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer which survives the Closing contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto (it being agreed and acknowledged by the parties that for purposes of Seller’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.3 the representations and warranties of Buyer contained herein shall not be deemed qualified by any references herein to materiality generally),

(b) any breach of any covenant of Buyer contained in this Agreement,

(c) all obligations and liabilities related to the Assets, other than Retained Liabilities and other items which Seller has expressly agreed to pay or perform pursuant to this Agreement or for which indemnification is provided pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.2,

(d) all Indemnified Environmental Claims, other than Environmental Claims for which Seller is obligated to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 10.1; and

(e) all Environmental Losses, arising after the Closing Date, whether arising on-site or off-site, other than Environmental Losses for which Seller is obligated to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 10.1.

10.4 Losses Net of Insurance. The amount of any loss, Liability, Claim, damage, expense or Tax for which indemnification is provided under this Section 10 shall be net of any amounts recovered by the indemnified party under insurance policies with respect to such loss, Liability, Claim, damage or expense (collectively, a “Loss”).

10.5 Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a Party hereto,

(a) pursuant to Section 10.1, shall terminate at the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, except (i) with regard to Environmental Losses for which Seller has obtained a closure permit or notice of closure pursuant to subparagraph 10.1(f), at which ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ obligation to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless shall terminate, and (ii) with regard to Environmental Losses attributable to the Retained Environmental Claims which obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate and will continue indefinitely unless and until Seller has obtained a closure

permit or notice of closure pursuant to subparagraph 10.1(f), at which ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ obligation to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless shall terminate;

(b) pursuant to Sections 10.2(a) and 10.3(a), shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 10.9;

(d) notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to clauses (a) and (b) above, such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the person to be indemnified or a party related thereto shall have previously made a Claim by delivering a notice of such Claim, before the expiration of the applicable period (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such Claim) to the Indemnifying Party.

10.6 Procedures Relating to Indemnification. In order for a party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Claim made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the party responsible for providing indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim within 10 business days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim (including copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim)); provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party therefor, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party), at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnified Party shall have given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above) and as otherwise set forth in this Section 10.6.

If the Indemnifying Party so elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Parties shall reasonably cooperate , at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, with the

Indemnifying Party in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, which releases the Indemnifying Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and which would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third Party Claim) if (i) the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Party which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages or (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel, or (B) as evidenced by the opinion of counsel, different defenses would be available to the Indemnified Party in such action such that a conflict of interest exists that makes control by the Indemnifying Party not advisable. In such an event, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to, with respect to clause (i), assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages and, with respect to clause (ii), assume the defense of the entire proceeding. The indemnification required by Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation, remediation or defense, as and when bills are received or loss, liability, claim, damage or expense is incurred. All Claims under Sections 10.1, 10.2, or 10.3 other than Third Party Claims shall be governed by Section 10.7 below.

10.7 Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a Claim against any Indemnifying Party under Sections 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such Claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any Liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under Sections 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its Liability to the Indemnified Party, under Sections 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3, such Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under Sections 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Claim (or any portion

thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its Liability with respect to such Claim, as provided above, the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that if such dispute concerns; indemnification for environmental matters under Section 10.1, it shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.1.

10.8 Mitigation. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any Claim or Liability with respect to which one Party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making Reasonable Efforts to mitigate or resolve any such Claim or Liability; provided that such Party shall not be required to make such efforts if they would be detrimental in any material respect to such Party. In the event that Buyer or Seller shall fail to make such Reasonable Efforts to mitigate or resolve any Claim or Liability, then (unless the proviso to the foregoing covenant shall be applicable) notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other Party shall not be required to indemnify the Party failing to mitigate or resolve the Claim or Liability, or any Person for any Liability or Claim that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, had made such Reasonable Efforts.

10.9 Survival of Representations. The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.7 shall not terminate. All other representations and warranties in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto (in each case other than the representations and warranties relating to environmental matters) shall survive the Closing and shall terminate at the close of business on March 31, 2008, except that because specific indemnification rights and obligations are set forth in Section 10.1, representations and warranties relating to environmental matters shall not survive the Closing. The representations and warranties of the Seller shall survive Closing pursuant to this Section 10.9 and shall not merge into any deed or other Conveyance Document.

SECTION 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS

11.1 Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time at and after the Closing, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, at the request of the other, promptly and without further consideration execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such assignments, consents, documents and instruments, including without limitation, corrective deeds and assignments of rights-of-way, and take or cause to be taken all such other reasonable actions as may be necessary or desirable in order to more fully and effectively carry out the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, all other legal expenses incurred by either Party after the date of this Agreement, as well as legal and other expenses incurred in the preparation and filing of documents, shall be the responsibility of the Party incurring such expenses.
