(b) Seller shall have the right, at its own expense, to elect in writing, within twenty (20) days of receiving notice of any Tax audits or assessments of Seller or any of the Targets (including any audit or investigation or any judicial or administrative proceeding) (such contest, a “Tax Contest”) of any Tax matter with respect to any Pre-IAED Tax Period potentially involving Taxes of any of the Targets to control the contest or resolution of any such Tax Contest (any Tax Contest controlled by Seller, a “Seller Tax Contest”); provided, however, that for any Seller Tax Contest that could result in any Tax Liability of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for any Post-IAED Tax Period: (i) Seller shall keep Purchaser fully and timely informed of the progress of each Seller Tax Contest; (ii) Seller shall permit Purchaser to review and comment on all written submissions made to any administrative or judicial body in connection with each Seller Tax Contest and attend all administrative and judicial proceedings relating to each Seller Tax Contest; and (iii) Seller shall not be permitted to settle or compromise such Seller Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(c) If Seller fails within the twenty (20) day period described in Section 6.5(b) to respond to any Tax notice and defend the resulting audit or proceeding as provided in this Section 6.5, or fails to participate in any Tax Contest which Seller has the right to control pursuant to this Section 6.5, then Purchaser or any appropriate Affiliate of Purchaser shall have the right to take control of any such Tax Contest, subject to Seller’s continuing right to participate in the defense of such Tax Contest, and, subject to Section 6.5(d) below, Seller shall be bound by the results obtained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. In the event that Purchaser takes control of any Tax Contest pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.5(c), Seller shall have the continuing right to participate in such Tax Contest, provided that Purchaser shall take in good faith all comments reasonably made by Seller into account.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Seller or Purchaser settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of a Tax Contest if such Tax Contest would result in Liability for the other Party (by virtue of the indemnity provisions of this Agreement or otherwise) without the written consent of such other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) In any Tax Contest, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses related to such Tax Contest; provided, that Seller shall bear all such costs and expenses that are indemnifiable by Seller pursuant to Section 6.1.

Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees or representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder.

Purchaser and Seller further agree, upon request of the other Party, to use their reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or Person as may be reasonably necessary to mitigate, reduce, defer or eliminate any Tax that could otherwise be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) with respect to Pre- IAED Tax Periods, and to properly report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to any Governmental Body.

6.7. Tax Treatment. Purchaser and Seller agree to treat the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as a taxable purchase and sale of the Membership Interests on the Closing Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

6.8. Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon any of the Targets, as applicable, were deemed terminated as of the IAED (other than an agreement (such as a lease) the principal purpose of which is not the sharing or allocation of Tax). The Parties further acknowledge and agree that, as of such date, each of the Targets, as applicable, was deemed not to have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

Purchaser agrees to defend and indemnify Seller including, for Seller and each Affiliate of Seller, their owners, managers, managing members, members, officers, directors, employees and agents (“Seller Indemnified Parties” or, individually, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and together with the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Indemnified Parties”) with respect to, and hold Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from, any Losses (the “Seller Indemnified Parties’ Losses”)), which Seller Indemnified Parties may directly or indirectly incur or suffer by reason of, or which results from, arises out of, relate to, are caused by or is based upon, any of the following:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

9.6. Notification. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Party from whom indemnification is sought (each, an “Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”), promptly in writing after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of the facts constituting the basis for such claim (“Claims Notice”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or legal proceedings by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim or the commencement of legal proceedings in respect of which recovery may be sought against the Indemnifying Party pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX. The Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the Loss arising therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the failure to provide any notice pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article VII. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless suit shall have been instituted against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have failed, within five (5) days after notice of institution of the suit, to take control of such suit as provided in Section 9.7, or the Indemnifying Party fails to respond to a request for such written consent within five (5) days after notice of such request .

-41-

9.7. Legal Proceeding; Direct Claim. In the event Purchaser, Seller or any Target shall become involved in any legal, governmental or administrative proceeding which may result in indemnification claims hereunder, such Party (if a Target, then Seller, or Purchaser, on behalf of such Target, as appropriate) shall promptly notify the other Party in writing and in full detail of the filing, and of the nature of such proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any such proceeding if the proceeding could give rise to an indemnification obligation hereunder at its expense and through counsel of its choice if (i) the Indemnifying Party gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within five (5) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party actively and diligently defends such proceeding, (iii) such proceeding involves only claims for monetary damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, and (iv) such proceeding does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with Taxes or any criminal, regulatory or statutory enforcement action; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such proceeding as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party (provided that no Party shall be required to provide information to the extent it is subject to attorney-client privilege or such information may be reasonably relevant to a direct claim among the Parties). Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party (provided that no party shall be required to provide information to the extent it is subject to attorney-client privilege or may be reasonably relevant to a direct claim among the Parties). If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any proceeding, it shall have full control over the conduct of such proceeding; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain legal counsel, at their own expense, and shall have the right to approve any settlement of any dispute giving rise to such proceeding, provided that such approval may not be withheld unreasonably by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with Indemnified Party in all proceedings.

9.8. Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 10.3 and Section 10.15, after the Closing, the rights set forth in Article VI and this Article IX shall be the Indemnified Party’s sole and exclusive remedies against Indemnifying Parties hereto for misrepresentations or breaches of covenants contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent any of the Indemnified Parties from bringing an Action based upon allegations of fraud or other intentional breach of an obligation of or with respect to either Party in connection with this Agreement. In the event such Action is brought, the prevailing Person’s attorneys’ fees and costs shall be paid by the non-prevailing Person, or as may be permitted under the Illinois Rules of Civil Procedure, provisions relating to awards for attorney’s fees and costs.

-42-

9.9. Insurance. The existence of a claim by Purchaser for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any indemnifiable Loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by Seller. If Purchaser has received the payment required by this Agreement from Seller in respect of any such indemnifiable Loss and later receives insurance proceeds or other amounts in respect of such indemnifiable Loss, Purchaser shall hold such insurance proceeds up to the amount paid by Seller in trust for the benefit of Seller and shall pay to Seller, as promptly as practical after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds or other amounts received (net of any increase in premiums or costs to collection such proceeds), up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from Seller in respect of such indemnifiable Loss.

9.10. Limitations on Indemnification. The indemnification provided for in this Article IX shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the “Basket”). Thereafter, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for payment for Losses from the first dollar.

(b) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for indemnification where the aggregate amount paid by all Indemnifying Parties with respect to Losses is in excess of the aggregate of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Cap”).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cap and Basket described in this Section 9.10 shall not apply with respect to Losses arising under Section 9.4(b)-(g) or Section 9.5(b)-(c) or resulting from breaches of covenants or Fundamental Representations or fraud; provided however, that in no event shall the Seller indemnifying parties be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 9.4(e) in an amount greater than the amounts paid by Purchaser to Seller under this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable to the Indemnified Party for punitive, special, lost profits, or other consequential damages, except to the extent any such damages are payable to a third party in connection with a claim or proceeding brought by a third party or except in connection with any fraud or intentional misconduct.

10.2. Governing Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

10.3. Dispute Resolution; Venue; Arbitration. Any claim or controversy arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement or any breach thereof between the Parties shall be submitted to FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE JAMS IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, XXXX COUNTY, PURSUANT TO THE JAMS COMPREHENSIVE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES. ALL PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED BEFORE A SINGLE ARBITRATOR WHO SHALL BE AN INDEPENDENT RETIRED ILLINOIS OR FEDERAL JUDGE OR JUSTICE WHO CURRENTLY IS, OR WAS AT THE TIME OF RETIREMENT, IN GOOD STANDING. SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE SELECTED THROUGH THE PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN RULE 15, SUBSECTIONS (b) – (f) OF THE JAMS COMPREHENSIVE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES The Parties further agree that, upon application of the prevailing Party, any Judge of the Superior Court of the State of Illinois, may enter a judgment based on the final arbitration award issued by the JAMS arbitrator, and the Parties expressly agree to submit to the jurisdiction of this Court for such a purpose. No action at law or in equity based upon any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be instituted in any court by any Party (or their respective members) except (i) an action to compel arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.3 or (ii) an action to enforce an award obtained in an arbitration proceeding in accordance with this Section 10.3.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, this Section 10.3 shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with the laws of the State of Illinois. If, nevertheless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision or wording of this Section 10.3, including any rules of JAMS, shall be invalid or unenforceable under the laws of the State of Illinois or other applicable Law, such invalidity shall not invalidate all of this Section 10.3. In that case, this Section 10.3 shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the laws of the State of Illinois or other applicable Law, and, in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Section 10.3 shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision.

(a) Attorney’s Fees. In the event of a dispute of the Parties with respect to this Agreement resulting in litigation or arbitration, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the other Party all reasonable costs, including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs reasonably incurred by such Party.

(b) Confidentiality. The Parties and the arbitrator shall maintain strict confidentiality with respect to the arbitration.

(c) Notice and Right to Cure. The Parties agree that prior to utilizing the dispute resolution mechanism provided for in this Agreement, the Party claiming the breach of damage shall give written notice of the alleged breach or damage to the other Party, and the Parties shall meet in good faith to cure any breach and resolve any differences, provided, however, that such right of notice and opportunity to cure shall not extend any timetables set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or in applicable Law for longer than a period of thirty (30) days without the written consent of the Parties to continue such opportunity to cure.
