STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of May 6, 2013 (“Effective Date”), among Mansfield Energy Corp., a Georgia corporation (“Seller”), Mansfield Gas Equipment Systems Corporation, a Georgia corporation (“Company”), and Clean Energy, a California corporation (“Purchaser”).

Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”), of the Company.

Accordingly, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES; CLOSING

SECTION 1.01. Purchase and Sale of the Shares. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined in Section 1.03), Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, the Shares. The purchase and sale of the Shares is referred to in this Agreement as the “Acquisition”.

SECTION 1.02. Purchase Price.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as consideration for Seller’s sale, transfer and delivery of the Shares, as well as Seller entering into the Ancillary Agreements, Purchaser shall pay Seller an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), payable by wire transfer to Seller of $10,000,000.30 in cash and issuance and delivery to Seller of 761,545 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (“Common Stock”) of Clean Energy Fuels Corp., Purchaser’s corporate parent (“CLNE”).

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.02(a), as security for the indemnification obligations of Seller set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall retain $1,000,000.00 in cash from the Purchase Price (the “Holdback Amount”). On the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if such date is not a business day, the first business day thereafter), Purchaser shall deliver the remaining Holdback Amount to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may withhold from such delivery the equivalent of any amounts then in dispute related to indemnification obligations arising under this Agreement; provided, however, that the withheld Holdback Amount, to the extent not applied in satisfaction of such indemnification obligations, shall be delivered to Seller promptly upon resolution of such dispute. Nothing in this Section 1.02 shall be construed as limiting the liability of Seller to the Holdback Amount, nor shall payments from the Holdback Amount be considered as liquidated damages for any breach under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement.

SECTION 1.03. Closing Date. The closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Purchaser, 3020 Old Ranch Pkwy, Suite 400, Seal Beach, California 90740, at 10:00 a.m. on the Effective Date, or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed between Seller and Purchaser. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

SECTION 1.04. Closing Deliveries. At the Closing:

(a) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (i) certificates representing the Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank in proper form for transfer, with appropriate transfer tax stamps, if any, affixed, (ii) the certificates and other documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.02, and (iii) such other documents as Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request to demonstrate satisfaction of the conditions and compliance with the covenants set forth in this Agreement; and

(b) Purchaser shall deliver to Seller (i) $9,000,000.30 in cash (ii) 761,545 shares of Common Stock; (iii) the certificates and other documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.03, and (iv) such other documents as Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request to demonstrate satisfaction of the conditions and compliance with the covenants set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 1.05. Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within 10 days of the Closing Date the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with the balance sheet of the Seller prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and a calculation of Working Capital (as defined in Section 1.05 (d) as of the close of business on the Closing Date (“Closing Working Capital”) . Within 70 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s proposed changes (in reasonable detail) to Seller’s calculation of Closing Working Capital. Purchaser and its accountant shall have full access to the books and records of, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Seller or Seller’s accountants to the extent they relate to the calculation of the Closing Working Capital and to such historical financial information relating to the Closing Working Capital as Purchaser may reasonably request for purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital in order to prepare the Statement.

(b) The Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless Seller gives written notice of its disagreement with the Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Purchaser prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted, and (ii) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on Closing Working Capital not being calculated in accordance with this Section 1.05. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Purchaser in a timely manner, then the Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon Seller and Purchaser on the earlier of (A) the date Seller and Purchaser resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm (as defined below). During the 30-day period following the

delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. At the end of such 30-day period, Seller and Purchaser shall submit to an independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) for arbitration any and all matters that remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement. The Accounting Firm shall be a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm agreed upon by the parties hereto in writing. Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a decision resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm within 30 days following submission. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The cost of any arbitration (including the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the parties) pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall be borne by Purchaser and Seller in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.

(c) The Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount by which Closing Working Capital exceeds $3,000,000 (the “WC Amount”), and the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount by which Closing Working Capital is less than the WC Amount (the Purchase Price as so increased or decreased shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Adjusted Purchase Price”). If the Closing Working Capital is greater than the WC Amount, Purchaser shall pay Seller, in cash, within 10 business days after the Statement becomes final and binding on the parties, the difference between the Closing Working Capital and the WC Amount. If the Closing Working Capital is less than the WC Amount, Seller shall pay Purchaser, in cash, within 10 business days after the Statement becomes final and binding on the parties, the difference between the Closing Working Capital and the WC Amount.

(d) The term “Working Capital” means Current Assets minus Current Liabilities. The terms “Current Assets” and “Current Liabilities” mean the current assets and current liabilities, respectively, of the Company, calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Although Working Capital is generally to be calculated in accordance with GAAP, if the application of GAAP at the Closing Date would result in an increase in any Current Asset or a decrease in any Current Liability (or in a decrease in any reserve with respect thereto), over or under, as the case may be, the amount that would have resulted from the application of the Company’s historical accounting practices (as reflected in the Balance Sheet (as defined in Section 3.05)) such historical accounting practices (rather than GAAP) shall be followed in calculating such Current Asset or Current Liability.

(e) Upon Closing, Purchaser shall utilize Seller as the collection agent to collect all trade receivables and prepaids which become trade receivables prior to the Closing and are included in the Closing Working Capital. Purchaser shall not pay Seller any compensation for acting as collection agent pursuant to this Section 1.05(e). Any trade receivables that are not collected by Purchaser (directly or through Seller’s assistance) within sixty days of the Closing Date shall be deducted from the Closing Working Capital amount in conjunction with the Purchaser’s proposed changes as detailed in the Statement. Thereafter, such receivables shall be assigned to Seller and Seller may pursue collection efforts, including but not limited to litigation, to collect such balances. If any sums deducted from the Closing Working Capital are recovered by Purchaser after 60 days, then such sums shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller.

SECTION 1.06. Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold from the Purchase Price otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller such amounts as are required to be withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable tax withholding requirements of the Code (as defined in Section 3.15) or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law.

Purchaser has: (a) received and read all information that Purchaser has requested regarding the Company’s business, management and financial affairs; and (b) had the opportunity to discuss such matters with directors, officers and management of Seller and the Company.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree the Acquisition shall be treated, for federal and state income Tax purposes, as a taxable acquisition by Purchaser from Seller of the assets and liabilities of the Company pursuant to Section 1361(b)(3)(C)(ii) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The parties shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates to, file all Tax Returns and, in the course of all Tax-related proceedings, take positions and any other actions consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and the Allocation Schedule prepared pursuant to Section 5.04(b); provided, however, that if, in any audit of any Tax Return by a Taxing Authority, the fair market values of the assets of the Company as of the Closing Date are finally determined to be different from those used in the Allocation Schedule, the parties may (but shall not be obligated to) take any position or action consistent with the fair market values as finally determined in such audit. In the event the Intended Tax Treatment or values and allocations reflected in the Allocation Schedule are disputed by any Taxing Authority, the party receiving notice of the dispute will promptly notify the other party of the existence of the dispute and upon its resolution.

(b) Purchase Price Allocation.

The Allocation Schedule shall reflect the allocations set forth on the Value Schedule with respect to the assets identified thereon, and otherwise shall be prepared in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. With respect to allocations to assets not listed on the Value Schedule, Purchaser shall consider in good faith any comments of Seller.

(ii) Purchaser and Seller agree that cash, inventory, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and property, plant and equipment will be valued at net book value.

(iii) If the Tax Consideration changes at any time after the Allocation Schedule is prepared by Purchaser and provided to Seller, Purchaser shall prepare and provide to Seller for review and comment before filing with its Tax Return a revised Allocation Schedule that reflects the change and is prepared in accordance with Sections 5.04(b)(i) and (ii). Purchaser shall consider in good faith the comments of Seller.

(c) Cooperation. Seller, the Company and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes.

After the Closing Date, no party shall have any rights or obligations under any such Tax sharing agreement.

SECTION 5.05. Post-Closing Cooperation. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other, and shall cause their affiliates and their officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to cooperate with each other, after the Closing to ensure the orderly transition of the Company from Seller to Purchaser and to minimize any disruption to the Company that might result from the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 5.06. Publicity. No public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior consent of the other parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the rules or regulations of any United States or foreign securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

SECTION 5.07. Records. On the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser all agreements, documents, books, records and files, including records and files stored on computer disks or tapes or any other storage medium (collectively, “Records”), if any, in the possession of Seller relating to the business and operations of the Company.

SECTION 5.08. Agreement Not To Compete.

(a) Seller understands that Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the business of the Company to the extent permitted by law and that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 5.08 and, therefore, for a period of five (5) years from the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its affiliates not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) Except as in the capacity as a reseller for Purchaser, or in accordance with the Bilateral Sales Agreement entered as of the Effective Date between Seller and Purchaser, engage in any of the following activities or businesses, or establish any new businesses, within North America (the “Competitive Activities”): (A) selling compressed natural gas (CNG) equipment and/or CNG equipment repair and maintenance service (“CNG Equipment and Services”) that are sold by the Company, (B) soliciting any customer or prospective customer of the Company to purchase any CNG Equipment and Services sold by the Company from anyone other than Purchaser and its affiliates, and (C) assisting any person in any way to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited by clause (A) or (B); provided, however, that nothing herein will prevent Mansfield from providing back office services (i.e., fuel and gas to gallon transaction reconciliation and consolidation) to any of its customers; and

(ii) Seller affirmatively commits that when it addresses CNG Equipment and Services with its customers, Seller will exclusively refer its customers to Company; in the event that the customer does not elect to purchase CNG Equipment or Services from Company, Seller will work in good faith to request that the customer grant Company a last look to obtain the business. Furthermore, Seller will not sell another equipment or service provider’s equipment or services to any of Seller’s customers. .

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that Seller or any of its owners or officers participate in any entity that builds non-public access CNG cardlock stations solely to serve petroleum haulers (except for incidental volume sold to other non-petroleum hauler entities), Seller commits that Company shall be given a right of first refusal to provide the equipment and services, upon the best terms offered by any other potential provider. If Company does not match such terms within ten (10) business days from the date of receipt of written notice from Seller, then Seller or such above-described entity may purchase equipment and services from other providers, and it shall not be deemed a violation of this Agreement.

(iv) In the event that Sellers or any of its owners, or officers establish such an entity as referenced in Section 5.08(a)(iii), Purchaser has the right to invest, para passu with other outside investors, in such entity.

(v) Notwithstanding the time period set forth above, for a period of two (2) years from the Closing, perform any of the following actions, activities or courses of conduct that would be detrimental to the business of the Company or its business reputation (“Detrimental Activities”): (A) soliciting or recruiting any employee of the Company, and (B) soliciting or encouraging any employee of the Company to leave the employment of the Company. In addition, from and after the Closing, Seller will refrain from disclosing or furnishing to anyone any confidential information relating to the Company or otherwise using such confidential information for its own benefit or the benefit of any other person.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the remedy of indemnity payments pursuant to this Agreement and other remedies at law would be inadequate in the case of any breach of the covenants contained in Section 5.08(a). Purchaser shall be entitled to equitable relief, including the remedy of specific performance, with respect to any breach or attempted breach of such covenants.

(c) Seller acknowledges that the length, scope of activity and geographic coverage to which the restrictions imposed in this Section 5.08 shall apply are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of Purchaser and the Company, including but not limited to protecting the Company’s confidential, proprietary and trade secret information, the stable workforce maintained by the Company, the relationships the Company maintains with its customers, and the goodwill in the Company acquired by Purchaser. Seller further acknowledges that the Company currently does business, is actively engaged in the pursuit of business or has conducted business within the prior five years in the U.S.

(d) Seller represents that: (i) Seller is familiar with the covenants set forth in this Agreement; (ii) Seller is fully aware of his obligations under this Agreement, including the length of time, scope and geographic coverage of these covenants; (iii) Seller is receiving specific, bargained-for consideration for Seller’s covenants not to compete and not to solicit; and (iv) execution of this Agreement, and performance of Seller’s obligations under this Section 5.08, will not conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of, any other agreement to which Seller is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Seller is subject.

(e) At the option of Seller, this Section 5.08 shall be immediately terminated upon, (i) the institution by or against Purchaser of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings or any other proceedings for the settlement of Purchaser’s debts, (ii) Purchaser making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) Purchaser’s dissolution or ceasing to do business

SECTION 5.09. Certain Licenses and Permits. Seller agrees that all Permits which are held in the name of any employee, officer, director, stockholder, agent or otherwise on behalf of the Company shall be duly and validly transferred to the Company without consideration prior to the Closing and that the warranties, representations, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement shall apply to the same as if held by the Company as of the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.10. Resignations. On the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser duly signed resignations, effective immediately after the Closing, of all directors of the Company and shall take such other action as is necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

SECTION 5.11. Dispositions of Common Stock. Prior to October 16, 2013 (the “Lock-Up Expiration Date”), Seller will not sell, transfer or make any other disposition of all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock issued to Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 5.12. Registration of Common Stock. Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued to Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser shall have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC on or before the Lock-Up Expiration Date. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Purchaser to take any action pursuant to this Section 5.12 with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued to Seller pursuant to this Agreement that Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such information regarding itself, the shares of Common Stock held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such shares of Common Stock. All expenses that are incurred with respect to a registration pursuant to this Section 5.12 shall be borne by Purchaser. In the event that Seller requests that a third party act in the capacity of an underwriter or any similar role, with respect to such Common Stock, then Seller will be responsible for such expenses.

SECTION 5.13. Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to Seller the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Seller to sell the shares of Common Stock issued to Seller pursuant to this Agreement to the public without registration, Purchaser agrees: (a) to make and keep public information available, as those terms under understood and defined in Rule 144 and (b) to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Purchaser under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144.

SECTION 5.14. Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party, each party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, in the case of Seller, executing and delivering to Purchaser such assignments, deeds, bills of sale, consents and other instruments as Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request as necessary or desirable for such purpose.

INDEMNIFICATION

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall be liable for, and shall indemnify Purchaser, its affiliates (including the Company) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against and hold them harmless from all liability: (i) for Taxes of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period; (ii) for Taxes of Seller or any other person as a transferee or successor, by contract, by operation of Law or otherwise; (iii) for Losses (as defined in Section 8.02(a)) resulting from any breach of the representations and warranties under Section 3.15; (iv) for Taxes resulting from the Acquisition; and (v) for reasonable legal fees and expenses attributable to any item in clause (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above; provided, however, Seller shall not be liable and obligated to indemnify Purchaser for Taxes to the extent such Taxes were taken into account in determining Closing Working Capital.

(b) In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”):

(i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall equal the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and

(ii) the Taxes of the Company (other than Property Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(c) Any indemnification to be made by Seller under this Section 8.01 shall be paid in cash within ten days after Purchaser makes written demand upon Seller, but in no case earlier than five business days prior to the date on which the relevant Taxes are required to be paid to the relevant Taxing Authority (including as estimated Tax payments).

SECTION 8.02. Other Indemnification by Seller.

(a) Seller shall be liable for, and shall indemnify each Purchaser Indemnitee against and hold it harmless from, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense including reasonable legal fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), suffered or incurred by such Purchaser Indemnitee (other than any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 8.01) arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement, in any Ancillary Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto (it being agreed and acknowledged by the parties that for purposes of the right to indemnification pursuant to this clause (i) 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 Seller Material Adverse Effect or a Company Material Adverse Effect);

(ii) any breach of any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement;

(iii) any liability of the Company arising on or before the Closing Date under ERISA;

(iv) any liability of the Company arising on or before the Closing Date under any Applicable Law relating to the payment of wages; and

(v) any other liability of the Company arising on or before the Closing Date that is not reflected or reserved against in the Balance Sheet.

(b) No amount shall be payable by Seller to any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.02(a) unless the aggregate of all Losses for which Seller would, but for this Section 8.02(b), be liable thereunder exceeds an amount equal to $200,000 (the “Basket”), at which point Seller shall become liable for all such Losses, including the Losses reflected in the Basket. Additionally, the cap on liability for the above breaches shall be $4,000,000. The foregoing limitations shall not apply to any Seller indemnification obligation arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller; or (ii) any Fundamental Representation (as defined in Section 8.06(a)). Seller shall not have any liability for Losses under Section 8.02(a) to the extent any matter forming the basis for such Losses was considered when calculating the Closing Working Capital, and no Losses related thereto shall be aggregated for purposes of calculating the Basket.

SECTION 8.03. Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser shall indemnify each of Seller and its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives (the “Seller Indemnitees”) against and hold it harmless from any Loss suffered or incurred by such Seller Indemnitee arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser in this Agreement, in any Ancillary Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto (it being agreed and acknowledged by the parties that for purposes of the right to indemnification pursuant to this clause (i) the representations and warranties of Purchaser 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 Purchaser Material Adverse Effect); and

(ii) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

SECTION 8.04. Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any party pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) or 8.03(i) shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 8.06(a); provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the person to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim pursuant to Section 8.05 to the party to be providing the indemnification.

SECTION 8.05. Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. In order for a person (the “indemnified party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 8.02 or 8.03 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 indemnifying party in writing of the Third Party Claim promptly following receipt by such indemnified party of written notice of 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 and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, promptly following the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) Assumption. 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, to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its choice reasonably acceptable to 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 any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume or continue the defense of any Third Party Claim (and the indemnifying party shall be liable to the indemnified party for its legal expenses) if (i) in the reasonable opinion of the indemnified party, counsel for the indemnifying party could not adequately represent the interests of the indemnified party because its interests could be in conflict with those of the indemnifying party; (ii) the Third Party Claim is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on any other matter beyond the scope or limits of the indemnification obligation of the indemnifying party; or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have assumed and diligently continued the defense of the Third Party Claim in a timely fashion. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, 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 not assumed the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the indemnified parties shall cooperate 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 that 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 assumes 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 assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that 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 indemnified party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and that would not otherwise adversely affect the indemnified party.

(c) Other Claims. In the event any indemnified party should have a claim against any indemnifying party under Section 8.02 or 8.03 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. Subject to Sections 8.05 and 8.06, the failure by any indemnified party so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to such indemnified party under Section 8.02 or 8.03, 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 fifteen calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the indemnifying party disputes its liability to the indemnified party under Section 8.02 or 8.03, such claim specified by the indemnified party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party under Section 8.02 or 8.03 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.

(d) Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Claims under Section 8.01.

(i) If a claim shall be made by any Taxing Authority, which, if successful, reasonably would be expected to result in an indemnity payment to any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Section 8.01, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing of such claim (a “Tax Claim”). If notice of a Tax Claim is not given to Seller within a sufficient period of time to allow Seller to effectively contest such Tax Claim, or in reasonable detail to apprise Seller of the nature of the Tax Claim, in each case taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect to such Tax Claim, Seller shall not be liable to any Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent that Seller’s position is actually and materially prejudiced as a result thereof.

(ii) With respect to any Tax Claim relating solely to Taxes of the Company for a Tax period that ends on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel); provided, however, that (A) Purchaser and counsel of its own choosing shall have the right to participate fully in all aspects of the prosecution or defense of any such Tax Claim, and (B) Seller shall not settle any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Purchaser shall control all other proceedings with respect to all other Tax Claims.

(iii) Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate with Seller in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the retention and (upon Seller’s request) the provision to Seller of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim.

SECTION 8.06. Survival of Representations.

(a) The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing as follows: (i) the representations and warranties in Articles II, III and IV shall survive for at least eighteen (18) months following the Closing (the “Survival Period”); provided, however, that (1) the representations and warranties in Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 3.04 shall survive the Closing indefinitely; and (2) the representations and warranties in Sections 3.13, 3.15, 3.16, 3.17, 3.19 and 3.20 shall survive until the later of the end of the Survival Period and ninety days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period (each representation and warranty set forth in subsections (1) and (2), a “Fundamental Representation”); (ii) the covenants shall survive the Closing until the time specified in each such covenant; and (iii) all other provisions of this Agreement shall survive indefinitely.

(b) No indemnifying party shall have any liability for Losses under Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, to the extent that the indemnified parties fail to use their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such Losses. The rights of each Purchaser Indemnitee under Section 8.02(a) and each Seller Indemnitee under 8.03(a) after the Closing shall not be affected by any investigation or knowledge at or prior to the Closing of any breach of any representation or warranty.
