7.15 Title Insurance Policies.

(a) Seller will provide to Purchaser, at Seller’s expense, within 120 days after the date of this Agreement, commitments to issue title insurance policies on the 1992 ALTA owner’s form (or its local equivalent in any state in which ALTA policies are not available) (“Title Commitments”) by an agent writing for Chicago Title or another nationally recognized title insurance company (the “Title Company”) and legible photocopies of all recorded items described as exceptions therein, committing to insure fee simple title in the Purchaser to each parcel of Owned Real Property and tenant’s leasehold interest in each parcel of Leased Real Property containing a headend or tower (collectively, the “Commitment Properties”), subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. In addition, Purchaser may obtain, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, a current survey of all Commitment Properties prepared by a duly licensed surveyor reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

(b) Promptly following Closing, Seller shall cause the Title Company, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to issue policies of title insurance (“Title Policies”) with respect to each of the Commitment Properties with policy limits equal to the appraised value of the property; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be solely responsible for obtaining and paying for the cost of any such appraisal and, in the event Purchaser elects not to do so, the policy limits shall be equal to the fair market value of the property. The cost to obtain such Title Commitments and Title Policies with respect to the Commitment Properties will be paid by Seller; provided, however, that the Purchaser will pay the premiums and charges other than with respect to the Commitment Properties and for any additional endorsements it requests with respect to any Title Policy other than the endorsements to delete or insure over any Title Defects.

(c) If the Purchaser notifies Seller within 90 days after the date of this Agreement of (i) any Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance), (ii) other matter that prevents access to any Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property, or (iii) any other matter that, individually or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on the use or value of such Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property (each a “Title Defect”), Seller will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to (A) remove such Title Defect, or (B) subject to Purchaser’s approval, cause the Title Company to commit to insure over each such Title Defect prior to the Closing. If such Title Defect cannot be removed prior to Closing or the Title Company does not commit to insure over such Title Defect prior to Closing and if the Purchaser elects to waive such Title Defect and proceed towards consummation of the transaction in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller will enter into a written agreement at Closing containing the commitment of Seller to use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the Title Defect following Closing on terms satisfactory to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion. At the Closing, each Party will deliver such reasonable affidavits and other customary closing documents as are required by the Title Company in order to issue Title Policies or to delete or insure over any Title Defects, provided that such affidavits do not expand or limit the special or limited warranties of Seller contemplated in the applicable deed described in Section 7.15(b).

7.16 Additional Information.

Seller will from time to time prior to the Closing promptly supplement or amend the Schedules relating to ARTICLE V with respect to any matter (i) that existed as of the date of this

Agreement and should have been set forth or described in such Schedules or Such disclosure by Seller pursuant to this Section 7.16 will be deemed to amend or supplement such Schedules or to have qualified the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement

7.17 Capital Leases; Evidence of Terminations.

Prior to the Closing, Seller will pay the remaining balances on any capital or vehicle lease under which it leases any of the Purchased Assets and will deliver such Purchased Assets to Purchaser at Closing free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances). Seller will provide to Purchaser at the Closing evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) affecting or encumbering the Purchased Assets have been terminated.

7.18 Environmental Assessments. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser may commission, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, a Phase I environmental site assessment of the Real Property (a “Phase I Assessment”). If Purchaser, in its sole discretion, determines based on the Phase I Assessment or any other information known to Purchaser (including information disclosed in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or described in the Schedules hereto) further assessment (including collection and analysis of environmental media) or other additional testing or analysis of the Real Property (a “Phase II Assessment”) is advisable, Purchaser may conduct or caused to be conducted such testing and analysis at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. Seller will comply with any reasonable request for information made by Purchaser or its agents in connection with any such investigation, but in no event will Seller be required to disclose any materials constituting attorney-client privileged communications. Upon request by Purchaser, Seller will afford Purchaser and its agents or representatives access to the Real Property at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner in connection with any such investigation (subject, in the case of Leased Real Property to the consent rights of the landlord); provided that Purchaser shall not unreasonably interfere with Seller’s use and operation of the Real Property. Should Purchaser commission such an investigation, such investigation will have no effect upon the representations and warranties made by Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement, except that if any Phase I Assessment or Phase II Assessment documents an environmental condition that would reasonably be construed to be a breach of Seller’s representations or warranties herein and such breach is capable of being cured, Seller will be deemed not to have breached such representation or warranty if Seller cures such breach, at no cost to Purchaser, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

7.19 Fairness Opinion. Seller shall engage its financial advisor to deliver, within 65 days of the date of this Agreement, an opinion on whether the purchase price for sale of Seller’s assets in the aggregate, including the sale of Seller systems not included in this Agreement, is fair, in the aggregate, from a financial point of view, to Seller’s limited partners. Seller shall cooperate with and provide all information reasonably requested by its financial advisor in order to obtain the opinion.

The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Indemnification Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result of such failure. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, provide defense, negotiation, settlement or other actions shall not cost or prejudice the indemnified party.

If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Indemnification Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.4 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any claim in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is sought against any indemnified party or, in the case of any claim relating to an indemnified party’s liability for any Tax, if the effect of such settlement or compromise would be to increase the indemnified party’s liability for the payment of any Tax unless the indemnified party consents in writing to such settlement or compromise. If the indemnifying party makes any payment on any Indemnification Claim, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the indemnified party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the indemnified party with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

(c) After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter.

10.5 Certain Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 10.5(b) and (c), notwithstanding the provisions of this Article X, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any indemnification obligations for Losses under Sections 10.2 or 10.3, (i) for any individual item, or group of items arising out of or related to the same event or circumstances or series of related events or circumstances, where the Loss relating thereto is less than Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($5,000.00), at which point the indemnifying party shall become liable for the entire amount of the Loss, and not just the amount in excess of Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($5,000.00) (the “Sub-Basket”) and (ii) unless the aggregate amount of all Losses (following the application of clause (i)) exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) (the “Basket”), and then only to the extent of such amounts in excess of the Basket.

(b) Subject to Section 10.5(c), in no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by Seller under Section 10.2(a) or Purchaser under Section 10.3(a) exceed the Escrow Funds (the “Cap”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Article X, the Cap, Basket and Sub-Basket limitations set forth in Sections 10.5(a) and 10.5(b) shall not apply to claims for indemnification in respect of Losses related to or arising out of the (i) Specified Representations, (ii) Post Closing Covenants (iii) third party claims or (iv) any claims for indemnification in respect of Losses related to or arising out of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation.

10.6 Calculation of Losses.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be net of any amounts actually recovered or recoverable by the indemnified party under insurance policies or otherwise with respect to such Losses (net of any expenses, other than Tax, incurred in connection with such recovery). Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

(b) No party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of such other Person, including loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach hereof (other than consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages (including loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach hereof) owing to a third party) to the extent such loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity is determined to be consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages; provided, however, that such limitations with respect to lost profits or diminution of value shall not limit Seller’s right to recover contract damages in connection with Purchaser’s failure or refusal to close in violation of this Agreement.

(c) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall not be reduced to take into account any tax benefit realized by the indemnified party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss.

10.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article X as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

10.8 Exclusive Remedy.

Except with respect to claims based on fraud, or claims for injunctive or other equitable relief from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or failure to be true and correct, or alleged breach or failure to be true and correct, of any representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, shall be indemnification in accordance with this Article X. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contributions, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, arising under or based upon any federal, state or local Law (including any such Law relating to environmental matters or arising under or based upon any securities Law, common Law or otherwise).

11.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.

This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto), the Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement represent the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

11.14 Covenant Not To Xxx and Nonrecourse to Partners.

(a) Purchaser agrees that notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any agreement, instrument, certificate or document entered into pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein or therein and any other Transaction Document and any rule of law or equity to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Seller’s obligations and liabilities under all Transaction Documents and in connection with the transactions contemplated therein shall be nonrecourse to all general and limited partners of Seller. As used herein, the term “nonrecourse” means that the obligations and liabilities are limited in recourse to the assets of Seller (for those purposes, any capital contribution obligations of the general and limited partners of Seller or any negative capital account balances of such partners shall not be deemed to be assets of Seller) and are not guaranteed directly or indirectly by, or the primary obligations of, any general or limited partner of Seller, and neither Seller nor any general or limited partner or any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, partner, employee or agent of Seller or of any general or limited partner of any successor partnership or trust, either directly or indirectly, shall be personally liable in any respect for any obligation or liability of Seller under any Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

(b) Purchaser hereby covenants for itself, its successors and assigns that it, its successors and assigns will not make, bring, claim, commence, prosecute, maintain, cause or permit any action to be brought, commenced, prosecuted, maintained, either at law or equity, in any court of the United States or any state thereof against any general or limited partner of Seller or any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, partner, employee or agent of Seller or of any general or limited partner of Seller for (a) the payment of any amount or the performance of any obligation under any Transaction Document or (b) the satisfaction of any liability arising in connection with any such payment or obligation or otherwise, including without limitation, liability arising in law for tort (including, without limitation, for active and passive negligence, negligent misrepresentation and fraud), equity (including, without limitation, for indemnification and contribution) and contract (including, without limitation, monetary damages for the breach of representation or warranty or performance of any of the covenants or obligations contained in any Transaction Document or with the transactions contemplated herein or therein).
