Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.7(b) shall not apply to the Coleman Trust with respect to any Person whose employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has been terminated, in each case, at least six (6) months prior to the Closing Date.

The representations and warranties of the Company expressly and specifically set forth in Articles III and the representations and warranties of the Coleman Trust expressly and specifically set forth in Article IV, as applicable, constitute the sole and exclusive representations, warranties, and statements of any kind of any of the Company (with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company expressly and specifically set forth in Articles III) and the Coleman Trust (with respect to the representations and warranties of the Coleman Trust expressly and specifically set forth in Articles IV) in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, and each of MTH Parties understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations, warranties, and statements of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, prospects, assets or Liabilities of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Company's assets or its Subsidiaries) are specifically disclaimed by the Company and the Coleman Trust. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, NONE OF THE COLEMAN TRUST AND THE COMPANY MAKES OR PROVIDES, AND each of the mth parties HEREBY WAIVES, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE COMPANY, ITS SUBSIDIARIES, THEIR RESPECTIVE PROSPECTS OR CONDITION OF THE COMPANY'S OR ITS SUBSIDIARY’S ASSETS OR ANY PART THEREOF, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY THE COMPANY (AND NOT THE COLEMAN TRUST) AS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III HEREIN (AS QUALIFIED BY THE ATTACHED SCHEDULES). EACH OF THE MTH PARTIES SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III AND ARTICLE IV (IN EACH CASE, AS QUALIFIED BY THE ATTACHED SCHEDULES), (A) NONE OF THE COMPANY, ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING, ANY STOCKHOLDER, MEMBER, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER IN ANY INDIVIDUAL, CORPORATE OR ANY OTHER CAPACITY) IS MAKING, AND NONE OF THE MTH PARTIES IS RELYING ON, ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR OTHER STATEMENTS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO ANY MATTER CONCERNING THE COMPANY OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS, OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED TO (OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED BY) ANY OF THE MTH PARTIES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES AND (B) NO PERSON SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY OF THE MTH PARTIES BASED UPON ERRORS IN, OR OMISSIONS FROM, ANY SUCH INFORMATION.
22 |
(b) No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Company or its Subsidiaries will have or be subject to any Liability or indemnification obligation (whether in contract or in tort) to any MTH Party or any other Person resulting from (nor will any MTH Party assert any claim with respect to) (i) the distribution to any MTH Party, or any MTH Party’s use of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to any MTH Party in certain “data rooms,” confidential information memoranda or management presentations in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated herein, or (ii) subject to the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the sale and purchase of the Coleman Shares, including, without limitation, any alleged non-disclosure or misrepresentations made by any such Persons, in each case, regardless of the legal theory under which such Liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise.
(c) In connection with the investigation by the MTH Parties in connection with the purchase of the Coleman Shares, the MTH Parties may have received from the Company, its Subsidiaries, or the Coleman Trust, or any of their respective representatives, certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information. The MTH Parties acknowledge and agree that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that each of the MTH Parties is familiar with such uncertainties, that each of the MTH Parties is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans (if any) so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and that each of the MTH Parties will have no claim against the Coleman Trust with respect thereto. Accordingly, each of MTH Parties acknowledges that none of the Coleman Trust, the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether in a corporate or any other capacity, makes any representation, warranty, or other statement with respect to, and none of MTH Parties is relying on, any such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and each of the MTH Parties agrees that it has not relied thereon.

For the purposes of clarity, the obligations of the Coleman Trust and MTH contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence shall not be construed to require either the Coleman Trust, on the one hand, or MTH, on the other hand, from making any payments on behalf of the Company with respect to the Interim Company Covenants.
23 |
6.19. Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.
(a) For a period of six years after the Closing, the MTH Parties will not, and will not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent governing documents relating to the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses of any officers and directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including former officers and directors who served in such capacity for at least two (2) years (each, an “D&O Indemnified Person”) (unless required by law) with the intent that such D&O Indemnified Persons will be entitled to such exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent governing documents in effect on the date of this Closing.
(b) In addition to the other rights provided for in this Section 6.19 and not in limitation thereof, from and after the Closing until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date (notwithstanding anything in the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent governing documents to the contrary), the MTH Parties will, and will cause the Company and its Subsidiaries (each, a “D&O Indemnifying Party”) to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) indemnify and hold harmless (and release from any liability to any of the MTH Parties or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), the D&O Indemnified Persons against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “D&O Costs”) incurred by reason of any demands, claims, suits, actions, or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of the D&O Indemnified Person’s services as a director, or as an officer, or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Closing (including in respect of acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby); except to the extent that such indemnification is not allowed by law or to the extent that such D&O Costs arose from an act or omission by the D&O Indemnified Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by arbitration to constitute any criminal or deliberately fraudulent or dishonest act or a willful violation of any law, statute, rule or regulation. D&O Costs incurred will be paid by the D&O Indemnifying Party sufficiently in advance of the final disposition of such claim (and in any event within thirty (30) days of the written request therefor submitted by a D&O Indemnified Person, subject to the proviso below) to enable the D&O Indemnitee to pay its expenses in connection with such claim; provided, however, that such D&O Indemnified Person shall have first delivered to the Company or the applicable Subsidiary an undertaking, by or on behalf of such D&O Indemnified Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction from which there is no further right to appeal that such D&O Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified or reimbursed for the D&O Costs. If a claim for indemnification or advancement under this Section 6.19(b) is not paid in full, a D&O Indemnified Person may at any time thereafter bring suit to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by a D&O Indemnified Person to recover an advancement of expenses, the D&O Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit.
24 |
(c) At the Closing, the MTH Parties will, or will cause the Company to, obtain, maintain and fully pay for irrevocable "tail" insurance policies naming the D&O Indemnified Persons as direct beneficiaries with a claims period of at least six years from the Closing Date from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company's current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company's existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date. The MTH Parties will not, and will cause the Company to not, cancel or change such insurance policies in any respect.
(d) In the event that all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, then the MTH Parties and the Company will, and in each such case, use its best efforts to ensure that the successors and assigns of the Company assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.19. The provisions of this Section 6.19(d) will apply to all of the successors and assigns of the Company.
6.20. Certain Employee Matters. The MTH Parties shall take such action as may be necessary so that on and after the Closing, and at all times through and including December 31, 2015, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are in the employ of the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement (“Covered Employees”), are provided employee benefits, plans and programs (including incentive compensation, deferred compensation, pension, superannuation, life insurance, welfare, profit sharing, 401(k), severance, salary continuation and fringe benefits as they exist immediately prior to Closing (collectively, the “Benefit Plans”)) that are identified on Schedule 6.20 attached hereto and made available by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such officers and employees immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may make such changes to the Benefit Plans that may occur and be necessary in the ordinary course (e.g., renewals) or in order to comply with Law as long as the Benefit Plans, individually and in the aggregate, offer the Covered Employees substantially the same benefits in all material respects. Nothing contained in this Section 6.20 shall create any rights in any officer or employee or former officer or employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the Company or its Subsidiaries in respect of continued employment for any specified period of any nature or kind whatsoever. Nothing in this Section 6.20 will or is intended to create any third party beneficiary right in any Covered Employee or any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or in any Person other than the parties to this Agreement.
6.21. Master Limited Partnership Matters. For the one (1) year period immediately following the Closing Date, none of the MTH Parties shall, and the MTH Parties shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, engage in any transaction or series of transactions to (i) create a master limited partnership with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether through a limited partnership or limited liability company) or (ii) transfer any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any such master limited partnership.

6.22. Employee Payments. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Coleman Trust has designated $17,450,000 as the bonus pool (the “Bonus Pool”) and elected to have the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make cash payments on the first (1st) Business Day occurring on or after the sixteenth (16th) day of the third calendar month following the Closing Date (i.e., October 16, 2014 if the Closing Date occurs in July) (the “Bonus Pool Payment Date”) out of the Bonus Pool (“Discretionary Employee Payments”) to certain individuals who were employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, in the amounts specified in Exhibit 6.22 hereto. Newco shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make the Discretionary Employee Payments on the Bonus Pool Payment Date, net of applicable withholdings required by applicable Law to the individuals and in the amounts specified in Exhibit 6.22 and remit all applicable withholding taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities. Upon submission of documentation of the payment of the Discretionary Employee Payments and remission of withholding taxes in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence and in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement among the Company, the Coleman Trust, MTH, and SunTrust Bank, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Coleman Trust and MTH (the “Escrow Agreement”), Escrow Agent shall disburse to Company an amount equal to the Bonus Pool in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that any Discretionary Employee Payments shall be treated as compensation for income Tax purposes in exchange for services rendered by such employee to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
6.23. Charitable Contribution Amounts. The Parties acknowledge and agree that at or immediately prior to the Closing, the Coleman Trust shall designate $750,000 to be contributed to any 501(c)(3) organizations selected at the sole discretion of the Coleman Trust (the “Charitable Contribution Amounts”). The Charitable Contribution Amounts shall be disbursed as instructed by the Coleman Trust at Closing. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that any Charitable Contribution Amounts shall be treated as charitable contributions made by the Company for income Tax purposes.

(i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Coleman Trust set forth in Article IV this Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, if any such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect, the word “material” or by words of similar impact, such qualifications will be disregarded and deemed not included in such representation or warranty for purposes of calculating any Damages arising therefrom;
31 |
(ii) the nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Coleman Trust set forth in this Agreement; and
(iii) the Coleman Transaction Costs not paid at or prior to the Closing.

9.2. Indemnification Procedures. The terms “Indemnified Party” or “Indemnified Parties”, when appearing without the modifying term “MTH”, shall refer to whichever Party is then seeking indemnification hereunder. All claims or demands for indemnification under this Article IX (“Claims”) against the Party alleged to be required to provide indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnifying Party”) shall be asserted and resolved as follows:
(a) In the event an Indemnified Party has a Claim against an Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a claim being asserted against or sought to be collected by a third party (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness send a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of such Direct Claim to the Coleman Trust or MTH, as the case may be. In order for the Claim Notice to be properly so delivered, it must contain a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances serving as the basis for such Direct Claim, a statement of the amount sought (or, if the amount is not then known, a good faith estimate of the amount sought) by the Indemnified Party, and specific reference the provision of this Agreement providing the basis for the Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party, or its duly appointed representative, does not notify the Indemnified Party within ninety (90) days of the delivery of the Claim Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Claim, the amount of such Claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party. In case the Indemnifying Party, or its duly appointed representative, shall object in writing to any Claim made in accordance with this Section 9.2(a), the Indemnified Party shall have fifteen (15) days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Indemnifying Party. If after such 15-day period there remains a dispute as to such Direct Claim, the Parties shall attempt in good faith for fifteen (15) days to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such Claims. If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Parties. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party may seek to exercise such rights and remedies provided for under this Agreement.
32 |
(b) In the event that any Claim for which the Coleman Trust would be liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses upon written notice to the Indemnified Party of its intent and written acknowledgment that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party will continue to be entitled to assert any limitation on any claims contained in this Article IX. Should an Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party will 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, however, that the Indemnifying Party will control such defense. The Indemnifying Party will be liable, but only to the extent liability is imposed by Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b), as applicable, of this Article IX, 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 assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, all the Parties will cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party's request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees and other representatives and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 9.2(b), the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (i) unless the Third Party Claim is solely for monetary damages (except where any non-monetary relief being sought is merely incidental to a primary claim for monetary damages) or (ii) if the Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.2 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement (i) would create any Liability of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, (ii) would provide for any injunctive relief or other non-monetary obligation affecting the Indemnified Party, or (iii) does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all Liability in respect of the Third Party Claim.
(e) The Indemnified Party’s failure to give reasonably prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party of any Third Party Claim or demand which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party.
33 |
9.3. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement or in any agreement or other document delivered pursuant hereto contemplated to be performed after Closing shall survive the Closing and be enforceable until such covenant or agreement has been fully performed. All representations and warranties contained in Article IV and the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.6 and 5.7 shall survive indefinitely, and all representations and warranties contained in Articles III and V, (other than in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.6 and 5.7) shall expire, and be of no further force or effect (including that any rights or remedies for breach thereof shall terminate), upon the Closing. Any covenant or agreement contemplated to be fully performed or complied with prior to Closing shall expire, and be of no further force or effect (including that any rights or remedies for breach thereof shall terminate), upon the Closing.
9.4. Waiver. The Coleman Trust waives any right to (a) seek contribution or other payment (indemnification or otherwise) from the Company, any Subsidiary or any MTH Party with respect to Damages for which they are required to indemnify the MTH Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article IX or (b) bring a claim against the current or former directors, managers or officers of the Company, any Subsidiary or any MTH Party as a result of Damages for which they are required to indemnify the MTH Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article IX.
9.5. Characterization of Indemnity Payments for Tax Purposes. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the MTH Parties, the Coleman Trust and the Company agree to treat any payment made by the Coleman Trust hereunder to MTH, if related to Damages incurred by the Company (and not by MTH directly), as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, and no Party shall take any position inconsistent with such characterization.
9.6. Limitations.
(a) Breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV shall be indemnifiable to the full extent of Damages; provided that in no event will the indemnifiable amount exceed the Purchase Price.
(b) Breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.6, and 5.7 shall be indemnifiable to the full extent of Damages; provided that in no event will the indemnifiable amount exceed the Purchase Price.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Coleman Trust shall not be liable to, or have any obligation to indemnify, any MTH Indemnified Party for, and no MTH Indemnified Party shall assert any claim for, any Damages resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of which an MTH Party has Knowledge and (ii) the MTH Parties shall not be liable to, or have any obligation to indemnify, any CT Indemnified Party for, and no CT Indemnified Party shall assert any claim for, any Damages resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of which the Company has Knowledge.
34 |
9.7. Sole and Exclusive Remedy.
(a) Except as may be required to enforce post-closing covenants hereunder and except as otherwise provided in Section 12.19, after the Closing the indemnification rights in this Article IX are and shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any Party of its right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief in the case of another Party's failure to comply with the covenants made by such other Party herein.
(b) With respect to any claim for Damages by any MTH Party with respect to any representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation any misrepresentation, inaccuracy or omission with respect to any such representation or warranty ), without limiting the terms of Section 9.7(a), the MTH Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive recourse shall be recovery of any proceeds payable pursuant to any insurance of Newco or MTH and, regardless of the amount collected with respect to any claim made against such insurance (if any), the Coleman Trust shall not have any Liability with respect to such Damages. The MTH Parties hereby agree that they shall not avoid the foregoing limitation on liability by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability.
ARTICLE X

(iv) by either the Coleman Trust, on the one hand, or MTH, on the other, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before September 15, 2014 (the “Drop Dead Date”); provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall not because of its (or in the case of a termination sought by MTH, any MTH Party’s) breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein have caused the Closing not to have occurred by the Drop Dead Date; or
(v) by the Coleman Trust, on the one hand, or by MTH, on the other hand, if there shall be a final nonappealable order of a federal or state court in effect preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or there shall be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the transactions by any Government Authority which would make the consummation of the transactions illegal.

Payment of the full amount described in this Section 10.1 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and the Coleman Trust for termination of this Agreement by MTH pursuant to Sections 10.1(a)(i) or 10.1(a)(iv).
