For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing indemnification is intended to be in addition to and not in limitation of any indemnification to which the Parties may be entitled under the Ancillary Documents.
8.2Defense of Third-Party Claims. An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to Seller or Buyer, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), of the commencement or assertion of any action, proceeding, demand, or claim by a third party (collectively, a “third-party action”) in respect of which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder. Any failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article VIII unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of, settle, or otherwise dispose of such third-party action on such terms as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that:
(a)The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such third-party action (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Party if (i) the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by any the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such third-party action, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably
    19


satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to have charge of such third-party action, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (iv) the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is a material conflict of interest that could violate applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel);
(b)The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into or making any settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of the validity of such third-party action or any liability in respect thereof if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if, in the opinion of the Indemnified Party, such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment could have a material adverse effect on its business;
(c)The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such third-party action; and
(d)The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any third-party action (i) as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within a reasonable length of time or (ii) to the extent the third-party action seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall make no settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
The Parties shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of any third-party action pursuant to this Article VIII and, in connection therewith, shall furnish such records, information, and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested.
8.3Direct Claims. In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder which is not subject to Section 8.2 because no third-party action is involved, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any Indemnified Costs which such Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.4(a), the failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim unless the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.
8.4Limitations. The following provisions of this Section 8.4 shall limit the indemnification obligations hereunder:
(a)The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Indemnified Costs pursuant to this Article VIII unless a written claim for indemnification in accordance with Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto on or before 5:00 p.m., Nashville, Tennessee time, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that written claims for indemnification (i)
    20


for Indemnified Costs arising out of (x) a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.6, 5.7, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.5 (the “Fundamental Representations”) or (y) an Excluded Liability may be made at any time, and (ii) for Indemnified Costs arising out of a breach of any covenant may be made at any time prior to the expiration of such covenant according to its terms.
(b)An Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay for any Indemnified Costs under this Article VIII until the amount of all such Indemnified Costs exceeds, in the aggregate, $125,000, in which event Indemnifying Party shall pay or be liable for all such Indemnified Costs from the first dollar. The aggregate liability of an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII shall not exceed $3,750,000. The limitations in the previous two sentences shall not apply to Indemnified Costs to the extent such costs arise out of (i) a breach of any Fundamental Representations or (ii) an Excluded Liability.
(c)Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, after the Closing Date, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer’s and the other Buyer Indemnified Parties’ and the Seller’s and the other Seller Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the Indemnified Costs shall be in accordance with, and limited by, the provisions set forth in this Article VIII. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the foregoing is not the remedy for and does not limit the Parties’ remedies for matters covered by the indemnification provisions contained in the Ancillary Documents. Any indemnification obligation of the Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Parties on the one hand, or the Buyer to the Seller Indemnified Parties on the other hand, pursuant to this Article VIII shall be reduced by an amount equal to any indemnification recovery by such Indemnified Parties pursuant to the other Ancillary Documents between the Parties to the extent that such other indemnification recovery arises out of the same event or circumstance giving rise to the indemnification obligation of the Seller or the Buyer, respectively, hereunder.
8.5Tax Related Adjustments. The Seller and the Buyer agree that any payment of Indemnified Costs made hereunder will be treated by the Parties on their tax returns as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
8.6Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.
ARTICLE IX

11.4Governing Law. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state.
11.5Arbitration Provision. Any and all Disputes shall be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 11.5 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 11.5 will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by а Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within 30 days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select а third arbitrator within 30 days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of the Seller, the Buyer or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven years’ experience of in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in Houston, Texas and commence within 30 days after the selection of the third arbitrator. The Seller, the Buyer and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award Special Damages in favor of Seller, on one hand (except to the extent such Special Damages (a) are awarded to a third-party or (b) are the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Buyer), or Buyer, on the other hand (except to the extent such Special Damages (x) are awarded to a third-party or (y) are the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller).
11.6Confidentiality.
(a)Obligations. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain the other Party’s Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party nor use the same, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section 11.6. Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.
(b)Required Disclosure. Notwithstanding Section 11.6(a) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a court, Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, including the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or is required to disclose pursuant to the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange upon which the receiving Party or its parent entity is listed, any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in
    24


order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it is required to disclose and shall cooperate with the disclosing Party in allowing the disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief.
(c)Return of Information. Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party upon termination of this Agreement or destroyed with destruction certified by the receiving Party, without the receiving Party retaining copies thereof except that one copy of all such Confidential Information may be retained by a Party’s legal department solely to the extent that such Party is required to keep a copy of such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law, and the receiving Party shall be entitled to retain any Confidential Information in the electronic form or stored on automatic computer back-up archiving systems during the period such backup or archived materials are retained under such Party’s customary procedures and policies; provided, however, that any Confidential Information retained by the receiving Party shall be maintained subject to confidentiality pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.6, and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.
(d)Receiving Party Personnel. The receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “Receiving Party Personnel”). The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement, and will be required to abide by the terms thereof. Any third party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party.
(e)Survival. The obligation of confidentiality under this Section 11.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two years.
11.7Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person (other than the Indemnified Parties with respect to Article VIII) any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
11.8Assignment of Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto.

11.12Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by all Parties and approved by the conflicts committee of the board of directors of the General Partner. Any waiver of rights hereunder must be set forth in writing.

The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until 5:00 p.m., Nashville, Tennessee time, on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and the covenants set forth in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that (a) any representation and warranty that is the subject of a claim for indemnification hereunder which claim was timely made pursuant to Section 8.4(a) shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally paid or adjudicated and (b) the Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely.
