(a) Cash Balances. All cash, on hand, at the Companies and at Downstream Energy Ventures Co., L.L.C., and CBF (to the extent of the Companies’ ownership interest in such Downstream Joint Ventures) as of the Effective Time, shall be the property of the Sellers and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Companies may, prior to the Closing, make a distribution to Sellers or their Affiliates of all cash, on hand at the Companies and such Downstream Joint Ventures as of the Effective Time. In the event that there was any cash in the accounts of the Companies and Downstream Energy Ventures Co., L.L.C., and CBF on the Effective Time, the Buyer will make a payment to Sellers (the “Cash True-Up Payment”) in the amount of the sum of (i) such cash balances in the accounts of the Companies and (ii) the cash balances in the accounts of such Downstream Joint Ventures times the Companies’ ownership percentage in each such Downstream Joint Ventures within sixty (60) days following the Closing. In addition, Buyer agrees to pay or cause the Companies to pay to Sellers all cash distributions received by the Companies or their Affiliates from GCF (or as a result of the Companies’ ownership interest in GCF) after the Closing to Sellers up to an amount equal to cash, on hand, at GCF as of the Effective Time times the Companies’ ownership percentage in GCF, such payment being referred to as a “GCF Distribution Payment.”

(b) Intercompany Accounts. Accounts receivable and accounts payable between the Companies, on the one hand, and Sellers and its Affiliates (other than the Companies), on the other hand, and existing on the Effective Time shall be subject to the customary monthly settlement and true-up procedures currently utilized between Targa Resources, Inc. and Buyer with respect to intercompany accounts. Any amounts owing by the Companies to Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Companies) as a result of such intercompany account true-up and any amounts owing by Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Companies) to the Companies as a result of such intercompany accounts true-up

(“Intercompany Accounts True-Up Payment”), shall be made by the applicable Party within ninety (90) days following the Closing.

(i) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, Buyer and Sellers shall make a joint determination of the actual Product Inventory levels (calculated in barrels on a product-by-product basis) of the Companies as of the Effective Time (“Actual Product Inventory”).

(ii) If the Actual Product Inventory is greater than or equal to the Product Inventory Floor, then no inventory adjustment will be required under this subsection (c).

(iii) If the Actual Product Inventory is less than the Product Inventory Floor, then an inventory adjustment analysis will be required and an adjustment payment shall be payable by Sellers to Buyer equal to the positive amount determined as follows:

Product Less Actual Less Net Applicable Times Weighted Inventory Product Product Inventory OPIS Floor Inventory Receivables Price (BBLS) (BBLS) Volume (BBLS)

(iv) For purposes of this subsection (c), the following terms will have the meanings prescribed below:

“Product Inventory Floor” shall mean (i) if the Effective Time is August 1, 2009, .89 million barrels and (ii) if the Effective Time is September 1, 2009, 1.04 million barrels and (iii) if the Effective Time is after September 1, 2009, such revised floor amount as may be mutually agreed between Sellers and Buyer.

“Net Applicable Product Inventory Receivables” means the positive amount (if any) analyzed as the applicable accounts receivables of the Companies as of the Effective Time for sales of Product Inventory to third-parties for the purposes of assessing appropriate responsibility for incremental inventory minus applicable accounts payable of the Companies as of the Effective Time for purchases of Product Inventory from third parties for the purposes of assessing appropriate responsibility for incremental inventory.

“Net Applicable Products Inventory Receivables Volume” means the barrels of Product Inventory attributable to any Net Product Inventory Receivable for the purposes of assessing appropriate responsibility for incremental inventory.

“Weighted OPIS Price” shall be the per barrel price calculated by (i) multiplying the volumes of each category of Product Inventory included in the Actual Product Inventory, times the OPIS price applicable to such category of Product Inventory as of the Effective Time to determine an “Individual Product Value” for each category of Product Inventory, (ii) adding the various Individual Product Values to determine the value of the aggregate Actual Product Inventory

and (iii) then dividing the Aggregate Product Inventory Value by the total number of barrels of Product Inventory included in the Actual Product Inventory.

(v) Buyer and Seller acknowledge that should inventory adjustment analysis be required, then detailed analysis as opposed to mechanical calculations will be required to determine applicable accounts receivable and payable for the purposes of assessing appropriate responsibility for incremental inventory.

(vi) Any required inventory adjustment payment by Sellers (a “Product Inventory True-up Payment”) shall be made by Sellers within ten days following the determination of the Actual Product Inventory to yield a weighted average price in $/bbl.

(d) Residual Working Capital Adjustment. At the end of the calendar month in which Closing occurs, Sellers shall provide to Buyer a statement of the net working capital derived from the books and records of the Companies (excluding (i) cash, (ii) intercompany accounts payable and receivable, (iii) Product Inventory and (iv) accounts receivable and payable for Product Inventory actually taken into consideration in calculating the Product Inventory True-up Payment) as of the Effective Time (“Estimated Net Working Capital”). Working capital statements will be prepared on the same basis used to prepare the audited financial statements, and working capital analysis will be done consistent with Targa Resources, Inc.’s normal monthly accounting closing processes. Estimated Net Working Capital (and Final Net Working Capital as provided below) will not include any line item with respect to income tax assets or liabilities (including those relating to Texas margin Tax), it being the intention of the Parties that such income tax matters be addressed by Article VII below. Non-cash items included in Estimated Net Working Capital will be adjusted post closing to update and replace the estimated amounts contained in the Estimated Net Working Capital to actuals as determined using a look-back over the sixty (60)-day period following the Closing. Any adjustments resulting from such actualization shall be taken into consideration in the working capital true-up process set forth in this subsection (d). Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall jointly determine the actual net working capital of the Companies (excluding (i) cash, (ii) intercompany accounts receivable and payable, (iii) Product Inventory and (iv) accounts receivable and payable for Product Inventory actually taken into consideration in calculating the Product Inventory True-up Payment) as of the Effective Time (the “Final Net Working Capital”). The Final Net Working Capital shall include the line items and be calculated in the same manner as the calculation of Estimated Net Working Capital. If Buyer and Sellers are unable to mutually agree upon Final Net Working Capital, then Buyer and Sellers shall submit any disputed items relating to such calculation to an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Buyer and Sellers. The costs of such independent accountant shall be borne 50% by Sellers and 50% by Buyer. Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Final Net Working Capital minus the Estimated Net Working Capital, or Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Estimated Net Working Capital minus the Final Net Working Capital. Such true-up payments (the “Working Capital True-Up Payment”) shall be paid within ten days following the agreement of Buyer and Sellers (whether by mutual agreement or by decision of the independent accounting firm) with respect to the calculation of the Final Net Working Capital.

(e) Cash True-Up Payments, GCF Distribution Payments, Intercompany Accounts True-Up Payments, Product Inventory True-up Payments and Working Capital True-Up Payments shall be made by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated (in writing) by the Party entitled to receive such payment.

Section 7.4 Scope. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy for any claims relating to Taxes (including any claims relating to representations respecting Tax matters including Section 4.9). The rights under this Article VII shall survive the Closing until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations (including extensions) applicable to such Tax matter.

Except as expressly set forth in Section 9.1(b) below, no Party shall have any liability for indemnification claims made under this Article IX with respect to any such representation, warranty or pre-closing covenant unless a Claim Notice is provided by the non-breaching Party to the other Party prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period for such representation, warranty or pre-closing covenant. If a Claim Notice has been timely given in accordance with this Agreement prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period for such representation, warranty or pre-closing covenant or claim, then the applicable representation, warranty or pre-closing covenant shall survive as to such claim, until such claim has been finally resolved.

(b) Sellers shall have no liability for indemnification claims under Section 9.2(a)(ii) unless the appropriate written notice as referenced in the definition of “Pre-Closing Environmental Matter” is provided by Buyer to Sellers on or prior to the second anniversary of Closing. If such notice has been given in accordance with this Agreement prior to the second anniversary of the Closing, then Sellers will have an indemnification obligation with respect to the Pre-Closing Environmental Matters specifically described in such notice and such indemnification obligation shall survive and continue after the second anniversary of the Closing.

(c) All covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement to be performed after the Closing, will survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.

Section 9.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Article VII relating to Taxes and the provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against (i) all Losses that Buyer Indemnified Parties incur arising from any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Sellers in this Agreement; (ii) Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities; and (iii) any of the Defense Actions.

(b) Subject to Article VII relating to Taxes and the provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (the “Sellers Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Losses that Sellers Indemnified Parties incur arising from or out of (i) the business and operations of the Companies (whether relating to periods prior to or after the Effective Time) to the extent such Losses are not matters for which Sellers have an indemnification obligation

under the provisions of Section 9.2(a) or (ii) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Buyer in this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties shall have a duty to use Reasonable Efforts to mitigate any Loss arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, all Losses relating to Taxes which are the subject of Article VII shall only be subject to indemnification under Section 7.3.

Section 9.3 Indemnification Procedures. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement (other than claims involving a Tax Proceeding or a breach of Section 4.9, the procedures for which are set forth in Article VII) shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) Any Buyer Indemnified Party or Sellers Indemnified Party claiming indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any claim asserted against the Indemnified Party by a third party (“Third-Party Claim”) in respect of any matter that is subject to indemnification under Section 9.2 shall promptly (i) notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Third-Party Claim and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third-Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), the Indemnified Party’s best estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to the Third-Party Claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to timely provide such Claim Notice shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party’s indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay or omission.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), by all appropriate proceedings, to a final conclusion or settlement at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 9.3(b). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement agreement without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided further, however, that such consent shall not be required if (i) the settlement agreement contains a complete and unconditional general release by the third party asserting the claim to all Indemnified Parties affected by the claim and (ii) the settlement agreement does not contain any sanction or restriction upon the conduct of any business by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third-Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including the making of any related counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third-Party Claim or any cross complaint against any Person. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim

controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.3(b), and the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.3(b), then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, and be reimbursed for its reasonable cost and expense (but only if the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder) in regard to the Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party), by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnified Party. In such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall defend any such Third-Party Claim in good faith and have full control of such defense and proceedings; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.3(c), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(d) Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, a claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought.

(e) In the event an Indemnified Party shall recover Losses in respect of a claim of indemnification under this Article IX, no other Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the same Losses in respect of a claim for indemnification.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3, the indemnification procedures set forth in Article VII shall control any indemnities relating to Taxes.

Section 9.4 Additional Agreements Regarding Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (and excluding matters covered by Article VII):

(a) a breach of any representation, warranty or pre-closing covenant (other than with respect to a breach of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties) of Sellers in this Agreement in connection with any single item or group of related items that results in Losses of less than $250,000 shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Article IX not to be a breach of such representation, warranty or pre-closing covenant;

(b) Sellers shall have no liability arising out of or relating to Section 9.2(a)(i) for breaches of representations or warranties (other than with respect to a breach of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties) except if the aggregate Losses actually incurred by Buyer Indemnified Parties thereunder exceed $7,950,000 (and then, subject to Section 9.4(c), only to the extent such aggregate Losses exceed such amount);

(c) in no event shall Sellers’ aggregate liability arising out of or relating to Section 9.2(a)(i) for breaches of representations, warranties or pre-closing covenants (other than

with respect to a breach of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties) exceed $58,300,000;

(d) The amount of any Loss for which a Buyer Indemnified Party claims indemnification under this Agreement shall be reduced by: (i) any insurance proceeds actually recovered with respect to such Loss; (ii) any Tax Benefits with respect to such Loss and (iii) indemnification or reimbursement payments actually recovered from third parties with respect to such Loss;

(e) For purposes of determining whether there has been a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty by a party in connection with the assertion of a claim for indemnification under Article IX, or determining the amount of a Loss, with respect to any asserted breach or inaccuracy, such determination shall be made without regard to any qualifier as to “material,” “materiality” or Material Adverse Effect expressly contained in Article III or IV.

or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Laws or otherwise.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER LAW OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM ANY OTHER PARTY’S SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SECTION 9.7(b) SHALL NOT LIMIT A PARTY’S RIGHT TO RECOVERY UNDER ARTICLE VII OR ARTICLE IX FOR ANY SUCH DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT SUCH PARTY IS REQUIRED TO PAY SUCH DAMAGES TO A THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A MATTER FOR WHICH SUCH PARTY IS OTHERWISE ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER ARTICLE IX.

(a) Buyer acknowledges in some instances only beneficial ownership to the Company Assets will have been transferred to the Companies at Closing and record title may be transferred to Buyer or the Companies following the Closing. Sellers are in the process of causing such record title to be transferred into the Companies and Sellers agree from and after the Closing to cause their Affiliates to execute and deliver to Buyer all such further instruments as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to cause record title to the Company Assets to be assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Companies and otherwise to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that Seller is unable to transfer record title to a Company Asset to the Companies or Buyer, then Seller agrees to hold and maintain such record title for the benefit of Buyer and the Companies, as the case may be.

(b) Buyer agrees that if and to the extent Buyer or any of the Companies receive payments following the Closing which relate to the Excluded Assets or otherwise belonging to Sellers or its Affiliates (other than the Companies), Buyer will cause the Companies to remit such payments promptly to Sellers.

Section 11.13 Action by Buyer. With respect to any action, notice, consent, approval or waiver that is required to be taken or given or that may be taken or given by Buyer prior to or after the Closing Date, such action, notice, consent, approval or waiver shall be taken or given by the Conflicts Committee on behalf of Buyer.

ARTICLE II
Reimbursement Obligations

2.1 Reimbursement for Allocated General and Administrative Expenses; Limitations on Reimbursement.

(a) Targa hereby agrees to continue to provide the Partnership Group with certain general and administrative services, such as legal, accounting, treasury, insurance, risk management, health, safety and environmental, information technology, human resources, credit, payroll, internal audit, taxes, engineering and marketing. These general and administrative services shall be substantially identical in nature and quality to the services of such type previously provided by Targa in connection with their management and operation of the North Texas Assets prior to their acquisition by the Partnership. In the event that the Partnership Group makes any acquisitions of assets or businesses from Targa or its Affiliates during the first three years following the Closing Date, Targa will similarly provide general and administrative services that are substantially identical in nature and quality to the services of such type previously provided by Targa in connection with their management and operation of such assets or businesses prior to their acquisition by the Partnership.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(c) and 2.1(d) below, the Partnership Group hereby agrees to reimburse Targa for all expenses and expenditures Targa or its Affiliates incur or payments they make on behalf of the Partnership Group for these general and administrative services.

(c) The amount for which Targa shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership Group pursuant to Section 2.1(b) for general and administrative expenses shall not exceed $5.0 million annually for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date (the “G&A Expenses Limit”). Following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the G&A Expenses Limit shall be increased annually over the next two years by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index — All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average, Not Seasonally Adjusted (the “CPI Index") for the applicable year. In making such adjustment, the G&A Expenses Limit shall be increased on the first anniversary of the Closing Date by the CPI Index for the prior year period based on the most recent information available from the U.S. Department of Labor and similarly increased on the second anniversary of the Closing Date by the CPI Index for the prior year period. In the event that the Partnership Group makes any acquisitions of assets or businesses or the business of the Partnership Group otherwise expands during the first three

- 6 -

years following the Closing Date, then the G&A Expenses Limit shall be appropriately increased in order to account for adjustments in the nature and extent of the general and administrative services by Targa to the Partnership Group, with any such increase in the G&A Expenses Limit subject to the approval of the Conflicts Committee. From and after October 24, 2007, the G&A Expenses Limit is increased by the actual amount of general and administrative expenses allocated by Targa for the services provided to the SAOU/XXX Business, according to the allocation methodology utilized by Targa. From and after the date hereof, the G&A Expenses Limit is increased by the actual amount of general and administrative expenses allocated by Targa for the services provided to the Downstream Business, according to the allocation methodology utilized by Targa. After the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the G&A Expenses Limit will no longer apply and the General Partner will determine the amount of general and administrative expenses that will be properly allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The G&A Expenses Limit shall not apply to reimbursement for direct expenses of the Partnership as provided in Section 2.2.

(d) Notwithstanding the obligations of the Partnership Group set forth in Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(c) above and subject to Section 4.1(c), for any fiscal quarter during the Term of Support for which the Partnership’s Distribution Coverage for such quarter is less than the Minimum Coverage Threshold (before giving effect to any reduction in the reimbursement of general and administrative expenses contemplated in this clause (d) for such quarter), the general and administrative expenses for such quarter relating to the matters for which Targa would otherwise be entitled to reimbursement will be reduced by the amount (the “Support Amount”) required for the Partnership to meet the Minimum Coverage Threshold for such quarter; provided, however, that in no event will the Support Amount exceed $8 million for any quarter. During the Term of Support, the Distribution Coverage for each applicable quarter is to be calculated assuming that Total Distributions for such quarter equal an amount in cash sufficient to pay all equity holders including incentive distributions for the period for which distributions are declared a distribution of $0.5175 per unit. The Support Amount (i) is to be calculated by the Partnership in conjunction with closing the financial statements for the applicable quarter; (ii) will be accrued for the applicable quarter and reflected in distributable cash flow for such quarter; and (iii) will be settled by the Partnership in conjunction with the next regularly scheduled monthly payment (the “Subsequent Payment”) for allocated expenses to be settled by the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement (the amount of the Subsequent Payment before giving effect to any Support Amount is the “Subsequent Payment Amount"). The Subsequent Payment will be settled as follows: (i) if the Support Amount is less than the Subsequent Payment Amount, then the Partnership will pay to Targa the Excess Amount; (ii) if the Support Amount is greater than the Subsequent Payment Amount, then Targa will pay to the Partnership the Excess Amount; and (iii) if the Support Amount is equal to the Subsequent Payment Amount, then no payment will be made by either the Partnership or Targa.

2.2 Reimbursement for Direct Expenses.

(a) The Partnership Group hereby agrees to reimburse Targa and its Affiliates for all direct expenses and expenditures they incur or payments they make on behalf of the Partnership Group, including, but not limited to, (i) salaries of operational personnel performing services on the Partnership Group’s behalf, the cost of employee benefits for such personnel and general and administrative expense associated with such personnel, (ii) capital expenditures, (iii)

maintenance and repair costs, (iv) taxes and (v) direct expenses, including operating expenses and certain allocated operating expenses, associated with the ownership and operation of the North Texas Assets, the SAOU/XXX Business and the Downstream Business.

(c) The obligation of the Partnership Group to reimburse Targa and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall not be subject to any monetary limitation, including the G&A Expenses Limit contained in Section 2.1.

(iii) all federal, state and local income tax liabilities attributable to the ownership or operation of the North Texas Assets prior to the Closing Date, including any such income tax liabilities of Targa and its Affiliates that may result from the consummation of the formation transactions for the Partnership Group occurring on or prior to the Closing Date; and

provided, further, that in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, such indemnification shall not include indemnity for Losses reserved on the books of the Partnership Group as of the Closing Date;

- 9 -

(b) In addition to and not in limitation of the indemnification provided under this Article III, the Partnership Group shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Targa and its Affiliates, other than any Partnership Group Member, from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by Targa and its Affiliates, other than any Partnership Group Member, by reason of or arising out of events and conditions associated with the operation of the North Texas Assets that occurs on or after the Closing Date except to the extent that the Partnership Group is indemnified with respect to any such Losses under Section 3.2(a).

3.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The Indemnified Party agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article III, they will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not submit claims more frequently than once a calendar quarter (or twice in the case of the last calendar quarter prior to the expiration of the applicable indemnity coverage under this Agreement).

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article III, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court or similar authority 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, conditioned or delayed) of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be.

(c) The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article III, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the names of the Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.3. In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party 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 III; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.
