After the Closing, each of the Sellers jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer, its employees, officers, directors, stockholders, advisers and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) harmless from and against all liability, loss, damage, claim, injury, interest and penalty and all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and costs and expenses of any suit related thereto or relating to investigating, preparing, defending against or prosecuting any such suit) of any kind or character (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees arising from (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document to which any Seller is a party, other than any breach of Section 3.22(b) hereof; (b) any failure to perform or observe any covenant or agreement of the Sellers in this Agreement or any Transaction Document to which any Seller is a party; (c) all liabilities and obligations of Sellers that are Excluded Liabilities; and (d) unsuccessful claim by Sellers against Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the sole and exclusive remedy for any Buyer Indemnitee for any Losses suffered or incurred by a Buyer Indemnitee with respect to environmental matters, including Seller Environmental Liabilities, breach of any Environmental Law, with respect to Hazardous Materials or otherwise, shall be for a breach of representations and warranties and not for any indemnification for any Seller Environmental Liabilities.

9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. After the Closing, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Sellers, the Member, the Company and their respective employees, officers, directors, stockholders, advisers and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and against all Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Indemnitees arising from (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document to which Buyer is a party, (b) any failure to perform or observe any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document to which Buyer is a party, (c) the Business or operation of the Systems from and after the Adjustment Time, or (d) any unsuccessful claim by Buyer against Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

9.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

9.4.1 Neither the Sellers nor the Buyer, as the case may be, will have an obligation to indemnify the other Person under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of such other party’s Losses exceeds Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) (the “Basket Amount”), provided that if the amount of the Losses exceeds the Basket Amount then Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, shall be liable for all such Losses (including the Basket Amount) from and including the first dollar of any Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Party related to a breach of the Core Representations without giving effect to this Section 9.4.1.

9.4.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the aggregate maximum indemnifiable liability of Sellers under Section 9.2(a) (inclusive of the Core Representations) or of the Buyer under Section 9.3(a), as the case may be, shall be limited to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum amounts payable under any clause of this Section 9.4.2 shall be reduced by any amount previously paid under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as applicable.

- 45 -

9.5 Procedures. The procedure for indemnification shall be as follows:

9.5.1 The party claiming indemnification (the “Claimant”) shall promptly give notice to the party from whom indemnification is claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim, whether between the Parties (a “Direct Claim”) or brought by a third party, specifying (i) to the Claimant’s knowledge, the factual basis for such claim; and (ii) a good faith estimate of the amount of the claim, if such amount is capable of estimation. If the claim relates to an action, suit or proceeding filed by a third party against Claimant (a “Third Party Claim”), such notice shall be given reasonably promptly by Claimant to the Indemnifying Party after written notice of such Third Party Claim is received by Claimant; provided, however, that the failure of the Claimant to give timely notice hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 9 unless, and only to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby.

9.5.2 Following receipt of notice from the Claimant of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days to make such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifying Party deems necessary or desirable. For the purposes of such investigation, the Claimant agrees to make available to the Indemnifying Party and its authorized representative(s) the information relied upon by the Claimant to substantiate the claim. If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Claimant the full amount of the claim, subject to the terms and in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, including Section 9.4 and Section 9.6. If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party do not agree within such period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof), the Claimant may seek appropriate legal remedies.

9.5.3 With respect to any Third Party Claim as to which the Claimant is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake the defense of, or opposition to, such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by such Indemnifying Party, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s notifying the Claimant, in writing promptly after receipt of the Claimant’s notice of Claim, of its intention to assume such defense or opposition. The Claimant shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of, or opposition to, any Third Party Claim, the Claimant shall have the right to participate in the defense of, or opposition to, such claim at its own expense; provided, however, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Claimant, there would be a conflict of interest if the Indemnifying Party’s counsel represented both the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel selected by the Claimant to participate in such defense or opposition.

9.5.4 In the event the Indemnifying Party (i) does not elect to assume control or otherwise participate in the defense of, or opposition to, any Third Party Claim or (ii) is not entitled to assume control of the defense of, or opposition to, any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Claimant with respect to such claim; provided, however, the Claimant shall not have the right to consent or otherwise agree to any monetary or non-monetary settlement or relief, including injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of, or opposition to, any Third Party Claim, the Claimant shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to consent or otherwise agree to any non-monetary settlement or relief, including injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, without the prior written consent of the Claimant, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Claimant shall settle or compromise any such claim or demand unless the Claimant or the Indemnifying Party, respectively, is given a full and complete release of any and all Losses by all relevant parties relating thereto.

- 46 -

9.5.5 If a claim, whether a Direct Claim or a Third Party Claim, requires immediate action, the Parties will work in good faith to reach a decision with respect thereto as expeditiously as possible.

9.6 Additional Limitations.

9.6.1 The amount of any Losses of any Person subject to indemnification under this Article 9 shall be reduced by the amount, if any, received by the Claimant from any third Person (including any insurance provider), less the amount of any Insurance Costs incurred in connection with collecting any such amounts (such amount being referred to herein as a “Third Party Reimbursement”), with respect to the Losses suffered thereby. If, after receipt by a Claimant of any indemnification payment hereunder, such Claimant receives a Third Party Reimbursement in respect of the same Losses for which indemnification was made and such Third Party Reimbursement was not taken into account in assessing the amount of indemnifiable Losses, then the Claimant shall accept such Third Party Reimbursement for the account of the Indemnifying Party and shall turn over all of such Third Party Reimbursement, less any Insurance Costs incurred in connection with collecting any such amounts, to the Indemnifying Party up to the amount of the indemnification paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement.

9.6.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, the Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to make available any insurance coverage or other Third Party Reimbursements for third party claims subject to the reasonable discretion of Buyer regarding whether it will separately pursue any such Third Party Reimbursement. Upon Sellers’ or the Company’s request, Buyer shall take any steps necessary to provide Sellers and the Company with the right of subrogation to pursue any insurance coverage or other Third Party Reimbursements for third party claims. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall require any party to maintain, continue or obtain any insurance coverage.

9.6.3 EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR CRIMINAL VIOLATIONS OF LAW, NO CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING UNDER OR RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE ASSERTED BY ANY PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON AGAINST A PARTY FOR PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONTINGENT, INCIDENTAL, SPECULATIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT ARE NOT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE BY SUCH OTHER PARTY (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE) OR FOR DIMINUTION IN VALUE (OTHER THAN AS TO THE COST TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE AFFECTED ASSETS DETERMINED AS OF THE CLOSING DATE ARISING FROM A BREACH BY SELLERS OF THIS AGREEMENT).

- 47 -

9.7 Materiality. The Parties acknowledge and agree that for purposes of calculating the amount of Losses caused by the breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, all “Material Adverse Effect” and “material” qualifications contained in the representations, warranties and covenants shall be disregarded.

9.8 Sole Remedy. After the Closing, the indemnification relief afforded by the provisions of this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of a Claimant for matters arising under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance hereof or thereof, whether for tort, breach of contract or otherwise, except with respect to fraud, and by agreeing to such provisions, the Parties are deemed to have made an election of remedies in favor of indemnification in lieu of other remedies. However, nothing in this Article 9 shall preclude Buyer from seeking the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.16.

9.9 Claims Unaffected by Investigation. The rights of the Parties and their Affiliates to indemnification or to assert or recover on any claim shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy of or compliance with, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or the performance or compliance with any covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.
