In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 10.3(d), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof.

(c) Expenses. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party,(i) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 10.3(d), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. KEG on the one hand, and PHI on the other hand, shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 10.3(d). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within 10 days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 10.3(d), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(e) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or is otherwise materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records during normal business hours and in a manner that would not be reasonably expected to interfere with the Indemnified Party’s business operations) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

10.4 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Section 10, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) business days of such agreement or final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

10.5 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for the Units for tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

10.6 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything otherwise provided in Section 10 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement:

(a) Except for Losses arising as a result of Actual Fraud, as to which the limitations of this Section 10.6(a) shall not apply, KEG will not have any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless PHI pursuant to this Section 10 in respect of Losses arising under Section 10.1 unless and until the amount of the aggregate Losses claimed by PHI exceeds One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Two Hundred Forty-Five U.S. Dollars ($125,245) (the “Basket”), whereupon KEG shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the other party for the amount of all Losses in excess of the Basket, and KEG’s aggregate liability in respect of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1 shall not exceed Six Million Two Hundred Sixty-Two Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Five U.S. Dollars ($6,262,235).

(b) Except for Losses arising as a result of Actual Fraud, as to which the limitations of this Section 10.6(b) shall not apply, PHI will not have any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless KEG pursuant to this Section 10 in respect of Losses arising under Section 10.2 unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred or suffered by KEG exceeds the Basket at which point PHI will indemnify KEG for all Losses in excess of the Basket, and PHI’s aggregate liability in respect of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 will not exceed the Purchase Price.

(c) The amount of any Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable hereunder shall be determined after deducting therefrom (a) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received from a third-party insurer and any other amounts actually recovered from a third party pursuant to indemnification or otherwise, in each case net of costs and expenses (including collection expenses, premium increases, retro-premiums and any retention amounts), and (b) the amount of any net cash tax benefit actually realized as a result of such Loss in the current or any prior taxable year.

(d) Except with respect to injunctive and other non-monetary equitable relief, PHI and KEG each acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages pursuant to this Agreement shall be pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.

11. GENERAL

11.1 Effectiveness of Representations; Survival. Each party is entitled to rely on the representations, warranties, indemnifications and agreements of each of the other party. The representations, warranties and agreements shall survive the Closing Date and continue in full force and effect until one (1) year after the Closing Date.

PHI and KEG will cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable to fulfill their obligations and the conditions precedent to the other parties’ obligations hereunder and to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and PHI and KEG will work in good faith to negotiate the Operating Agreement, the Consulting Agreements and any other documents, certificates or agreements required for Closing. KEG agrees to provide such information as requested by PHI in a timely manner prior to Closing Date pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 7.1. In addition to the foregoing, PHI will use best efforts to promptly close the Financing.

11.15 Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a) Each party agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any attorney-client privilege attaching to any communications among Nevers, Palazzo, Packard, Wildermuth & Wynner, PC or other counsel from time to time retained by KEG prior to the Closing (collectively, “Prior KEG Counsel”) on the one hand, and KEG or any Founding Member, on the other hand, to the extent related to the transactions contemplated herein (the “Prior Representation”) shall survive the Closing and shall remain in effect; provided, however, that, from and after the Closing, such attorney-client privilege shall be controlled by the Founding Members and not KEG or PHI.

(b) PHI and KEG waive any conflicts that may arise in connection with (i) Prior KEG Counsel representing the Founding Members after the Closing solely to the extent as a result of the Prior Representation and (ii) the communication by Prior KEG Counsel to the Founding Members, with respect to the Prior Representation, of any fact known to Prior KEG Counsel, in connection with any negotiation, arbitration, mediation, litigation or other proceeding in any way related to a dispute with PHI, KEG or the Founding Members following the Closing solely to the extent related to the Prior Representation, and the disclosure of any such fact in connection with any process undertaken for the resolution of such dispute. In addition, all communications between KEG or any Founding Member, on the one hand, and Prior KEG Counsel, on the other hand, exclusively related to the transactions contemplated herein shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Founding Members (and not KEG) (the “Pre-Closing Communications”). Accordingly, KEG shall not be transferred ownership of any such Pre-Closing Communications or the files of Prior KEG Counsel relating to such engagement from and after the Closing, and all books, records and other materials of KEG in any medium (including electronic copies) constituting or solely containing or reflecting Pre-Closing Communications or the work product of legal counsel with respect thereto, including any related summaries, drafts or analyses, and all rights with respect to any of the foregoing, are hereby assigned and transferred to the Founding Members effective as of the Closing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.15, in the event that a dispute arises between PHI or KEG, on the one hand, and a Person other than a party hereto or a Founding Member, on the other hand, after the Closing, PHI and KEG may assert any such attorney-client privilege, confidences or protection to prevent disclosure to such third party of confidential communications.
