WHEREAS, Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Holdings (the “Purchased Shares”) and has agreed to cause Holdings and the Company to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and, in its capacity as sole stockholder of Holdings, to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; and

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to acquire the Purchased Shares from Seller and Seller desires to sell the Purchased Shares to Purchaser, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the documents contemplated hereby.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual agreements, covenants, representations and warranties herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, all of the Purchased Shares, free and clear of any and all Liens.

Article II
PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 2.01 Purchase Price.

The aggregate amount of consideration to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for all of the Purchased Shares shall be (x) One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) minus the amounts outstanding on the capital leases of the Company in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) listed on Annex 2.01 (the “Estimated Capital Leases Amount”) (the amount calculated in accordance with this clause (x), the “Cash Consideration”) and (y) 4,300,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Purchaser (the “Equity Consideration” and, together with the Cash

Consideration, the “Purchase Price”), as such Purchase Price may be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.02. The initial Purchase Price shall be paid at the Closing as follows:

(a) The Cash Consideration shall be paid at Closing, as follows:

(i) First, Purchaser shall pay off the outstanding indebtedness under the financing arrangements set forth on Annex 2.01(a)(i) (the “Closing Date Debt Obligations”) (pursuant to the payoff letters described in Section 6.01(d)) that remains outstanding after giving effect to the use by the Company of all of the Estimated Closing Cash to repay a portion of the Closing Date Debt Obligations, where “Estimated Closing Cash” means the cash and cash equivalents of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, determined in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date hereof, as of immediately prior to the Closing (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without giving effect to the use of such cash and cash equivalents in accordance with this Section 2.01(a)(i)) in an amount estimated by Seller and communicated in writing by Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date;

(ii) Second, Purchaser shall pay to one or more accounts designated by Seller in writing on the Closing Date an amount equal to the fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Seller, Seller Owners, Seller Limited Partners and/or Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, payable by any such Persons to outside legal counsel, accountants, advisors, brokers and other third parties and unpaid as of immediately prior to the Closing, all as set forth on Annex 2.01(a)(ii); and

(iii) Third, Purchaser shall pay to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller in writing on the Closing Date an amount equal to the Cash Consideration minus the amounts payable at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(i) and (ii); provided, that in no event shall the aggregate amount payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(i) and (a)(ii) and this Section 2.01(a)(iii) exceed the Cash Consideration;

(b) Seller hereby instructs Purchaser to deliver the Equity Consideration to the limited partners of Seller or the parent entities of such limited partners (the “Seller Limited Partners”) as set forth on Annex 2.01(b) which shall be updated by Seller in accordance with Section 5.07. The Equity Consideration shall be in the form of stock certificates evidencing the ownership of Equity Consideration in the respective share amounts set forth opposite the names of the Persons on Annex 2.01(b). The Equity Consideration shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of any Liens, except, with respect to the Seller Limited Partners who are party thereto, as set forth in the Stock Restriction Agreement (as defined in Section 6.01(l)) for the Seller.

SECTION 2.02 Post Closing Adjustment of the Purchase Price.

Following the Closing and pursuant to Section 2.02(a), the Purchase Price will be adjusted downward, on a dollar for dollar basis, to the extent that Holdings’ stockholder equity as of immediately prior to the Closing (but without giving effect to the payments contemplated by Section 2.01(a)(i)) as finally determined in accordance with GAAP, as in effect on the date hereof, applied on a basis consistent with the Company Parties’ past practices (to the extent applicable), except as

otherwise set forth in Annex 2.02 (“Stockholder Equity”), is less than Forty-Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($47,500,000). The Stockholder Equity shall be determined and calculated strictly in accordance with Annex 2.02 using the applicable line items set forth on the Audited Closing Balance Sheet (as defined below) as agreed upon by the parties in accordance with Section 2.02(a). Following the Closing and pursuant to Section 2.02(a), the Purchase Price shall also be adjusted (x) (A) upward, on a dollar for dollar basis, if the Final Closing Cash (as defined below) exceeds the Estimated Closing Cash or (B) downward, on a dollar for dollar basis, if the Estimated Closing Cash exceeds the Final Closing Cash (any such adjustment, whether upward or downward, a “Cash Adjustment”) and (y) (A) upward, on a dollar for dollar basis, if the Estimated Capital Leases Amount exceeds the Final Capital Leases Amount or (B) downward, on a dollar for dollar basis, if the Final Capital Leases Amount exceeds the Estimated Capital Leases Amount (any such adjustment, whether upward or downward, a “Capital Leases Adjustment”).

(a) Determination of Final Purchase Price.

(i) In order to conclusively determine the Stockholder Equity as of the Closing, Purchaser, with the cooperation of Seller, will cause a consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing (but without giving effect to the payments contemplated by Section 2.02(a)(i) and (ii)) (the “Proposed Closing Balance Sheet”) to be prepared as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date and in no event more than forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date and Purchaser will engage Crowe Horwath LLP (“Crowe”) to perform an audit, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, of the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet (as so audited, the “Audited Closing Balance Sheet”) and will allow Crowe to independently select its audit team. The Audited Closing Balance Sheet shall set forth, among other things, the final amount of all cash and cash equivalents of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing (but without giving effect to the payments contemplated by Section 2.01(a)(i)) (the “Audited Closing Cash”). The Proposed Closing Balance Sheet and the Audited Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared based upon the books and records of the Company Parties in accordance with GAAP and, to the extent applicable, consistent with the past practices of the Company Parties (but without giving effect to the payments contemplated by Section 2.01(a)(i)). The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Crowe to complete and deliver the Audited Closing Balance Sheet to Seller and Purchaser within sixty (60) days after Crowe’s receipt of the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet (the date of such delivery, the “Closing Audit Date”). The parties shall cooperate with Crowe in connection with such audit, and shall provide Crowe with all books, records and other papers necessary for such purpose. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Crowe to make available to the parties Crowe’s books, records and other papers related to the final amounts set forth on the Audited Closing Balance Sheet, including work papers, in connection with Crowe’s preparation of the Audited Closing Balance Sheet.

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Audit Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller Purchaser’s calculation of (x) the Stockholder Equity, which shall be calculated based on the Audited Closing Balance Sheet, (y) the cash and cash equivalents of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, determined in accordance with GAAP as in

effect on the date hereof, as of immediately prior to the Closing (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without giving effect to the use of such cash and cash equivalents in accordance with Section 2.01(a)(i)), which shall be calculated based on the Audited Closing Cash (the “Proposed Cash Amount”), and (z) the aggregate amount outstanding on the capital leases of the Company, determined in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date hereof, as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Proposed Capital Leases Amount”) in each case together with reasonable documentation in support thereof. Purchaser’s calculation of Stockholder Equity, the Proposed Cash Amount and the Proposed Capital Leases Amount shall be final and binding on the Parties unless within forty-five (45) days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s calculation of Stockholder Equity, the Proposed Cash Amount and the Proposed Capital Leases Amount Seller shall give Purchaser a notice of objection (an “Objection Notice”). The Objection Notice shall specify each item Seller objects to in Purchaser’s calculations of Stockholder Equity, the Proposed Cash Amount and/or the Proposed Capital Leases Amount, together with a calculation of each disputed amount and reasonable documentation in support thereof. Any item in Purchaser’s calculation of Stockholder Equity, the Proposed Cash Amount or the Proposed Capital Leases Amount that is not objected to in the Objection Notice shall be deemed agreed and shall be final and binding on the parties.

(iii) From and after the Closing Date and prior to the date the Objection Notice is required to be timely delivered, Purchaser shall make available to Seller and any of its accountants and advisors, upon reasonable request and during the Company’s normal business hours, the Company Parties’ accounting personnel, (including the chief financial officer), and the books and records of the Company Parties and any other documents relating to the preparation of the Audited Closing Balance Sheet, Purchaser’s calculation of Stockholder Equity, the Cash Adjustment and the Capital Leases Adjustment, and shall use reasonable efforts to make available to Seller the Company Parties’ and Purchaser’s accountants, for the purposes of determining whether to deliver an Objection Notice. Purchaser agrees that following the Closing Date and prior to the completion of the Audited Closing Balance Sheet and the final determination of Stockholder Equity, the Cash Adjustment and the Capital Leases Adjustment in accordance with this Section 2.02, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company Parties to, preserve and not alter or destroy any of the books and records of any Company Party relating to the calculation of the Audited Closing Balance Sheet, the Cash Adjustment or the Capital Leases Adjustment.

(iv) In the event an Objection Notice is given, Purchaser and Seller, together with their respective accountants and other advisors, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any objection and arrive at a final determination. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to arrive at a final determination within twenty (20) days after an Objection Notice is given, the matter shall be submitted to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Independent Firm”). The Independent Firm shall make a final determination in writing as to all matters in dispute within thirty (30) days after its appointment, provided, that, notwithstanding the Independent Firm’s determination of the Stockholder Equity, the Cash Adjustment and/or the Capital Leases Adjustment, for purposes hereof (A) the Stockholder Equity shall be neither less than the amount of Stockholder Equity as calculated by Purchaser and delivered to Seller pursuant

to Section 2.02(a)(ii) nor greater than the amount specified by Seller in the Objection Notice, (B) the final amount of cash and cash equivalents of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing used to determine the Cash Adjustment (calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.02(a)) shall be neither less than the amount of such cash and cash equivalents as calculated by Purchaser and delivered to Seller pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(ii) nor greater than the amount specified by Seller in the Objection Notice, and (C) the final aggregate amount outstanding on the capital leases of the Company used to determine the Capital Leases Adjustment (calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.02(a)) shall be neither less than the amount specified by Seller in the Objection Notice nor greater than the amount as calculated by Purchaser and delivered to Seller pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(ii), and in each case shall, absent mathematical error, be final and binding on the parties. The Stockholder Equity as finally determined in accordance with the procedures and provisions set forth in this Section 2.02(a) is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Stockholder Equity”. The amount of cash and cash equivalents of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing as finally determined in accordance with the procedures and provisions set forth in this Section 2.02(a) is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Closing Cash”. The aggregate amount outstanding on the capital leases of the Company used to determine the Capital Leases Adjustment as finally determined in accordance with the procedures and provisions set forth in this Section 2.02(a) is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Capital Leases Amount.”

(v) Within five (5) days after the engagement of the Independent Firm, Seller and Purchaser shall each furnish, at their own expense, to the Independent Firm and the other party, a written statement of their position with respect to each matter in dispute as set forth in the Objection Notice. Within five (5) days after expiration of the original five (5) day period, Seller and Purchaser may deliver to the Independent Firm and to the other party their response to the other’s position on matters in dispute. With each submission, Seller and Purchaser may also furnish to the Independent Firm such other information and documents as they deem relevant or such information and documents as may be requested by the Independent Firm with appropriate copies or notification being given to the other party. The Independent Firm may, in its discretion, conduct a conference concerning the disagreement with Seller and Purchaser, at which conference each party shall have the right to present additional documents, materials and other information and to have present its advisors, counsel and accountants. In connection with such process, there shall be no hearings, oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other similar proceedings conducted by any party or by the Independent Firm.

(vi) Purchaser shall pay any fees owing to Crowe in connection with its engagement under this Section 2.02(a). Any fees owing to the Independent Firm in connection with its engagement under this Section 2.02(a) shall be paid by Purchaser and/or Seller in direct proportion to the amounts of the disputed items that are lost by Purchaser and/or Seller, as the case may be, determined at the time of the final resolution of this matter by the Independent Firm.

(vii) In the event that the Final Stockholder Equity is less than $47,500,000, Seller and each of the Seller Owners jointly and severally shall pay Purchaser the amount equal to the difference in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds. In the event that the Final Stockholder Equity is greater or equal to $47,500,000, no adjustment to the Purchase Price shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)(vii).

(viii) In the event of an upward Cash Adjustment as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), Purchaser shall pay Seller the amount equal to the upward Cash Adjustment, and in the event of a downward Cash Adjustment as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) Seller and each of the Seller Owners jointly and severally shall pay Purchaser the amount equal to the downward Cash Adjustment as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), in each case, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(ix) In the event that the Estimated Capital Leases Amount exceeds the Final Capital Leases Amount, Purchaser shall pay Seller the amount equal to the difference in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds. In the event that the Final Capital Leases Amount exceeds the Estimated Capital Leases Amount, Seller and each of the Seller Owners jointly and severally shall pay Purchaser the amount equal to the difference in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(x) Seller and/or Purchaser shall make any payments pursuant to Sections 2.02(a)(vii), (a)(viii) and/or (a)(ix) within three (3) Business Days following the date on which the Final Stockholder Equity, the Final Closing Cash and the Final Capital Leases Amount have all been determined pursuant to this Section 2.02(a). Any amounts payable to Seller pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(viii) and/or (a)(ix) shall be netted against any amount payable to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(vii).

(b) Withholding Rights. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller such amounts as Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law; provided, that Purchaser and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate to reduce or eliminate any such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Purchaser such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller.

As of their respective dates, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Reports. As of their respective dates, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment, the SEC Reports did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Article V
COVENANTS

SECTION 5.01 Public Disclosure.

The parties have agreed on the form of press releases to be issued on the Closing Date by Seller and Purchaser, respectively. After the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of the proposed Form 8-K that it intends to file with the SEC to report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at least one (1) Business Day prior to the filing thereof. Except for the foregoing, no party to this Agreement shall make or cause to be made any press release or similar public announcement or communication in any form with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, without the consent of the other parties, provided that nothing herein shall restrict any party from complying with requirements of applicable law or the rules of the NYSE, in which event such party will provide the other parties with a copy of the proposed press release or other public announcement to the extent practicable at least two (2) Business Days prior to its disclosure and nothing herein shall limit Seller Owners from discussing the transactions contemplated hereby with their respective limited partners. This Agreement shall supersede the Confidentiality Agreement dated as of April 23, 2010, by and between the Purchaser and the Company.

SECTION 5.02 Books and Records.

From and after the Closing Date, the Company Parties shall maintain such books and records of the Company Parties as were in existence as of the Closing Date until the time for the taking of any federal Tax audit of the Company for its fiscal year 2010 shall have expired and shall provide Seller and its representatives reasonable access thereto following reasonable notice and during the Company’s normal business hours, in order to enable Seller to (a) prepare its Tax Returns, and (b) perform any other acts reasonably related to its former interest in the Company Parties and HFS; provided, that prior to destroying such books and records, Purchaser shall notify Seller and allow Seller to request copies of such books and records at Seller’s sole cost and expense.

SECTION 5.03 Tax Matters.

(a) Any sales, use, transfer, documentary, stamp or other similar non-income Taxes that are payable as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees that it shall not make an election under Section 338 of the Code (or under any similar provision of state, local or non-United States law) with respect to its acquisition of the Purchased Shares.

(b) Certain State Tax Returns. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate to file original or amended Tax Returns in Indiana, and original or amended Tax Returns in States other than Indiana, for certain Pre-Closing Tax Periods, in each case to reflect an apportionment of

income of the Company Parties away from Indiana and to the other States. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5.03, such Tax Returns (i) shall be prepared and filed in Purchaser’s sole discretion by Purchaser’s accountants at the sole cost of Purchaser and (ii) in the case of States other than Indiana, may, if Purchaser so determines, be filed under the voluntary disclosure procedures of the applicable State. Notwithstanding Section 8.02(a) and Section 8.04(a), under no circumstance shall Seller or any Seller Owner be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Person for any Tax or other Loss arising as a direct or indirect result of the filing of any Tax Return described in this Section 5.03(b). If, as a result of all of the Tax Returns filed pursuant to this Section 5.03(b), taken together, there is a net Tax cost or net Tax benefit to the Company Parties, then that net Tax cost and net Tax Benefit shall be for the account of Purchaser and the Company Parties. Purchaser and the Company Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless each Historic Tax Indemnitee from and against any Tax or other Loss for any Pre-Closing Tax Period arising as a direct or indirect result of the filing of any Tax Return described in this Section 5.03(b). As used in this Agreement, “Historic Tax Indemnitee” shall mean the Persons listed on Annex 5.03(b).

(c) Seller shall cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns of the Company Parties that are due on or prior to the Closing Date. The applicable Company Party shall timely pay any Taxes shown to be due thereon. Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company Parties in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Purchaser shall not cause or permit any Company Party to file an amended Tax Return, or to modify any Tax election, of any Company Party with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, unless (i) Seller consents in its sole discretion, or (ii) Purchaser receives and provides to Seller written advice of reputable Tax advisors, in substance reasonably acceptable to Seller, to the effect that such amended return or modification is required by law, or (iii) in the case of such a filing solely to claim a refund or credit of Taxes described in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 5.03(f), Seller consents in its reasonable discretion.

(d) With respect to each Tax Return relating to a Company Party for a Pre-Closing Tax Period that is required to be filed by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.03(c), (i) all such Tax Returns shall be filed in accordance with the prior positions and practices of the Company Parties, unless Purchaser receives and provides to Seller written advice of reputable Tax advisors, in substance reasonably acceptable to Seller, that a change is required by law, and (ii) Purchaser shall provide each such Tax Return to Seller at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return for Seller’s review, and Purchaser shall make all changes reasonably requested by Seller. The applicable Company Party shall pay any Taxes shown to be due on any such Tax Return, to the extent that the aggregate unpaid Taxes of the Company Parties, as of the Closing Date, do not exceed the amount of the reserve for Taxes on the Audited Closing Balance Sheet (the “Tax Reserve”). Seller shall remit to Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.04 the amount, if any, by which the Taxes shown to be due on any such Tax Return cause the unpaid Taxes of the Company Parties, as of the Closing Date, to exceed the amount of the Tax Reserve. With respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, upon Seller’s reasonable request and at its expense, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable Company Party to, initiate a claim for a refund of Taxes, or amend any Tax Return, of a Company Party.

(e) With respect to Tax Returns of the Company Parties for each Straddle Period, (i) all such Tax Returns shall be filed in accordance with the prior positions and practices

of the Company Parties, unless Purchaser, in consultation with reputable tax advisors, determines that a change is required by law, and (ii) Purchaser shall provide each such Tax Return, accompanied by an allocation in accordance with Section 8.04 between Seller and Purchaser of the Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Return, to Seller at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return for Seller’s review. Each such Tax Return and allocation shall be final and binding on Seller and Purchaser, unless, within twenty (20) days after the date of receipt by Seller of such Tax Return and allocation, Seller delivers to Purchaser a written request for changes to such Tax Return or allocation. If Seller delivers such a request, then Seller and Purchaser shall undertake in good faith to resolve the issues raised in such request. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any issue by the earlier of (i) ten (10) days after the date of receipt by Purchaser of the request for changes or (ii) ten (10) days prior to the due date (including any extension thereof) for filing of the Tax Return in question, then Seller and Purchaser shall jointly engage the Independent Firm (in the manner set forth in Section 2.02) to resolve such dispute, and the decision of the Independent Firm shall be final. The applicable Company Party shall pay any Taxes shown to be due on any such Tax Return, to the extent that (i) such Taxes relate to the Post-Closing Tax Period or (ii) to the extent that such Taxes relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, the aggregate unpaid Taxes of the Company Parties, as of the Closing Date, do not exceed the amount of the Tax Reserve. Seller shall remit to Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.04 the amount, if any, by which the Taxes (as relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period) shown to be due on any such Tax Return cause the unpaid Taxes of the Company Parties, as of the Closing Date, to exceed the amount of the Tax Reserve.

(f) Subject to Section 5.03(b), Seller shall be entitled to any refund or credit of Taxes (including any interest paid thereon) of the Company Parties for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and for the portion of any Straddle Period for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 8.04; provided however, that Purchaser and the Company Parties shall be entitled to any refund or credit of Taxes (including any interest paid thereon) of the Company Parties for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and for the portion of any Straddle Period for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 8.04 to the extent the refund or credit results from the carryback of net operating losses, if any, attributable to the Company Parties incurred in any taxable year or portion thereof during the period beginning the day after the Closing Date and ending on July 31, 2012. Purchaser will, and will cause the Company Parties to, execute such documents, take reasonable additional actions and otherwise reasonably cooperate as may be necessary for the Company Parties to perfect their rights in and obtain all Tax refunds and credits for which any such Company Party is eligible and to which Seller is entitled. None of Purchaser or any Company Party shall forfeit, fail to collect or otherwise minimize any Tax refund or credit to which Seller would be entitled under this Section, whether through any election to carry forward a net operating loss or otherwise.

(g) If (i) a Governmental Entity asserts a claim for Taxes against any Company Party and (ii) Seller could be responsible for any portion of those Taxes under Section 8.04 (any such claim, a “Tax claim”), then the party hereto first receiving notice (whether directly, or indirectly through an Affiliate of such party) of such Tax claim shall promptly provide to the other parties hereto written notice specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax claim and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Governmental Entity in respect of such Tax claim; provided, however, that the

failure of such party to give such prompt and detailed notice shall not relieve the other party of any of its obligations under Section 8.04, except if and only to the extent that the other party is actually prejudiced thereby.

(h) If, within sixty (60) days after Seller receives notice of a Tax claim (whether from a Governmental Entity or pursuant to Section 5.03(a)), Seller provides to Purchaser a written notice in which Seller elects to contest, and to control the defense or prosecution of, such Tax claim (an “Election Notice”), then, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.03, Seller shall have the right to defend or prosecute and the right to control, at its sole cost and expense, such Tax claim by all appropriate proceedings. For any Tax claim the defense or prosecution of which Seller controls (a “Seller Controlled Proceeding”), (i) Seller shall defend or prosecute the Tax claim diligently and in good faith; (ii) Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter into any compromise or settlement of such Tax claim that would reasonably be expected to result in any material Tax for which Purchaser or any Company Party would be responsible pursuant to Section 8.04(b); (iii) Seller shall inform Purchaser of all material developments and events relating to such Tax claim (including providing to Purchaser copies of relevant portions of all written materials relating to such Tax claim); (iv) Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided to Seller any information reasonably requested by Seller relating to such Tax claim, and Purchaser shall otherwise cooperate with Seller and its representatives in good faith in order to contest effectively such Tax claim; (v) Purchaser or its authorized representative shall be entitled, at the expense of Purchaser, to attend, but not participate in or control, all conferences, meetings and proceedings relating to such Tax claim; and (vi) in the event that Purchaser reasonably withholds consent to a compromise or settlement pursuant to clause (ii) above, Purchaser shall be entitled to assume the defense or prosecution of such Tax claim, and, in any event, the liability of Seller in connection with such Tax claim shall not exceed the amount of the liability under the proposed settlement or compromise as to which Purchaser withheld consent.

(i) Purchaser shall control the defense or prosecution of any Tax claim that is not a Seller Controlled Proceeding (each, a “Purchaser Controlled Proceeding”). For any Purchaser Controlled Proceeding, (i) Purchaser shall defend or prosecute the Tax claim diligently and in good faith; (ii) Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, enter into any compromise or settlement of such Tax claim that would reasonably be expected to result in any material Tax for which Seller would be responsible pursuant to Section 8.04; (iii) Purchaser shall inform Seller of all material developments and events relating to such Tax claim (including providing to Seller copies of relevant portions of all written materials relating to such Tax claim); (iv) if requested by Purchaser, Seller shall provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser any information reasonably requested by Purchaser relating to such Tax claim, and Seller shall otherwise cooperate in good faith with Purchaser and its authorized representatives in order to contest effectively such Tax claim; and (v) Seller or its authorized representatives shall be entitled, at the expense of Seller, to attend, but not participate in or control, all conferences, meetings and proceedings relating to such Tax claim.

(j) In the case of a Tax claim that relates to a Straddle Period, such Tax claim shall be prosecuted or defended and shall be controlled by (i) Seller, if the amount of Tax for

which Seller is responsible under Section 8.04(a) with respect to such Tax claim is reasonably expected to equal or exceed the amount of Tax with respect to such Tax claim for which Purchaser and the Company Parties are responsible under Section 8.04(b), and (ii) Purchaser, otherwise. The reasonable documented costs incurred by Seller (in a proceeding described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence) or by Purchaser (in a proceeding described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence) that are properly attributable to the Tax claim shall be divided between and borne by the parties in accordance with their relative share of the underlying Tax liabilities under Section 8.04. In the case of any such Tax claim, (i) the controlling party shall provide the noncontrolling party with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Claim and a copy of relevant portions of all documents relating to such Tax claim; (ii) the controlling party shall consult with the noncontrolling party before taking any significant action with respect to such Tax claim that would reasonably be expected to affect adversely the noncontrolling party; (iii) the controlling party shall consult with the noncontrolling party and offer the noncontrolling party an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax claim (including, to the extent practicable, any documents furnished to the applicable Governmental Entity in connection with any discovery request) to the extent such materials concern matters in such Tax claim that would reasonably be expected to affect adversely the noncontrolling party; (iv) unless the noncontrolling party otherwise consents in writing, the controlling party shall defend the Tax claim diligently and in good faith as if the controlling party were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax claim to the extent that such Tax claim might adversely affect the noncontrolling party, and the noncontrolling party shall reasonably facilitate to the extent requested by the controlling party, and shall not impede, the controlling party’s control of such Tax claim; and (v) the controlling party shall not settle, compromise, abandon or discharge any such Tax claim without obtaining the prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, of the noncontrolling party, if such settlement, compromise, abandonment or discharge would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the noncontrolling party. In the event that the noncontrolling party reasonably withholds such consent pursuant to clause (v) of the preceding sentence, the noncontrolling party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Tax claim; provided, however, that the original controlling party’s liability in connection with such Tax claim shall not exceed the amount that it would have been responsible for under the proposed settlement, compromise, abandonment or discharge.

(k) In the case of any Tax audit, examination, contest or other proceeding (other than a Tax Proceeding that involves a Tax claim) (“Tax Proceeding”) of any Company Party, to the extent that such Tax Proceeding would reasonably be expected to result in any non-de minimis Tax to a Company Party for which Seller could reasonably be expected to be responsible pursuant to Section 8.04(a): (i) Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, enter into any compromise or settlement of such Tax Proceeding, (ii) Purchaser shall inform Seller of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Proceeding (including providing to Seller copies of relevant portions of all written materials relating to such Tax Proceeding), (iii) such Tax Proceeding shall be defended or prosecuted diligently by Purchaser in good faith as if Purchaser were the only party in interest in such Tax Proceeding and (iv) Seller or its authorized representatives shall be entitled, at the expense of Seller, to attend, but not participate in or control, all conferences, meetings and proceedings relating to such Tax Proceeding. In the event that Seller reasonably withholds consent to a compromise or settlement pursuant to clause (i) of

the previous sentence, Seller shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that the liability of Purchaser in connection with such Tax Proceeding shall not exceed the amount of such liability under the proposed settlement or compromise as to which Seller withheld its consent. This Section 5.03(k) shall not eliminate or reduce any obligation of Purchaser imposed by other provisions of this Section 5.03.

(l) Seller, Purchaser and the Company Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any another party to this Agreement, in connection with the filing of any Tax Return of a Company Party, in any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of a Company Party, and in allowing Seller to review Tax Returns of the Company Parties for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Seller, Purchaser, and the Company Parties agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company Parties and that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, if notified in writing by another party, any extensions thereof), and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Entity. The parties agree to give each other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records, and if another party so requests, to give such other party possession of such books and records. Seller, Purchaser and the Company Parties further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person or take any other action as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on any party hereto (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

SECTION 5.04 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

The provisions of the Organizational Documents of the Company Parties with respect to the limitation or elimination of liability and indemnification of directors or officers in effect immediately prior to the Closing shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who at or prior to the Closing were directors or officers of the Company Parties, including any such director or officer who, at the request of the Company Parties, served as an officer or director or in any other capacity of another entity, and were entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Organizational Documents of the Company Parties. The provisions of this Section 5.04 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each director or officer of the Company Parties or other Person entitled to indemnification under the Organizational Documents of the Company Parties immediately prior to the Closing, and each such Person’s heirs, legatees, representatives, successors and assigns, it being expressly agreed that such Persons shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.04.

SECTION 5.05 Litigation Support.

From and after the Closing, in the event and for so long as any party hereto actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim or demand in connection with any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the

Company Parties, the other parties shall reasonably cooperate with the contesting or defending party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense.

SECTION 5.06 Legends.

Immediately following Purchaser’s receipt of the final Annex 2.01(b) from Seller (and in no event after the Closing Date), Purchaser shall submit an instruction letter to Purchaser’s transfer agent in a form and substance acceptable to Seller and Purchaser shall cause such transfer agent to issue the Equity Consideration to the Seller Limited Partners in the amounts and names set forth on the final Annex 2.01(b).

resulting from, and any proceeds (after deducting any costs of collection) collected by Purchaser pursuant to Purchaser insurance policies or other contractual indemnities which are contained outside of this Agreement (such other indemnities, “Collateral Sources”) in connection with, the circumstances underlying the claims giving rise to indemnification hereunder. Subject to the limitations set forth below, to the extent that any Loss is eligible to be covered by insurance policies maintained by the Company prior to the Closing or any Collateral Sources, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any Losses from such insurance policies or Collateral Sources; provided that if any Purchaser Indemnified Party makes any payment with respect to such Losses and within ninety (90) days of making such payment such Purchaser Indemnified Party: (x) has not been reimbursed in full by the insurance carrier and/or Collateral Sources under the applicable policy and/or contractual indemnities for which recovery has been sought under this Section 8.02(a) and/or (y) any such insurance carrier delivers a notice of denial of coverage or a reservation of rights or similar letters under such policy or any such Collateral Source delivers a notice denying its indemnification obligation, then such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be permitted to immediately seek indemnification for any Losses (including Losses associated with seeking recovery from the insurance carrier and/or Collateral Sources) from Seller and Seller Owners as contemplated by this Section 8.02(a). In connection with the foregoing, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be under any obligation to keep Seller or Seller Owners notified of its correspondence with any insurance carrier other than to inform such parties of the conditions set forth in clauses (x) and/or (y) above.

(b) Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser and its officers, directors, employees, Subsidiaries and affiliates (“Seller Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Seller Indemnified Persons arising out of, resulting from or attributable to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser contained in this Agreement, and/or (ii) the nonperformance of any covenant or obligation to be performed by Purchaser under this Agreement; provided, however, that Losses shall be reduced by any Tax Benefit Amount and any proceeds (after deducting any costs of collection) collected by Seller or Seller Owners pursuant to Seller or Seller Owners insurance policies or Collateral Sources in connection with the circumstances underlying the claims giving rise to indemnification hereunder.

(c) To the extent that there is an increase in the Tax Benefit Amount of any Indemnitee (or an affiliate thereof) with respect to a Loss that is the subject of an indemnification payment under this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to such increase and the Indemnitee shall promptly (and in any event, no later than ten (10) days after filing of the Tax Return(s) associated with the increase in Tax Benefit Amount) pay to the Indemnitor the increase in the Tax Benefit Amount at such times and to the extent that the Indemnitee (or affiliate thereof) actually realizes an increase in a Tax Benefit Amount. For purposes of this Agreement, (x) “Tax Benefit Amount” shall mean, for any taxable period of any Person with respect to any Loss, the excess of (i) such Person’s cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year (calculated by excluding all Tax Attributes attributable to the Loss) over (ii) such Person’s actual cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year (calculated by taking into account all Tax Attributes attributable to the Loss), and (y) “Tax Attribute” shall mean, with respect to any Person, any item of loss, deduction, credit, basis or other Tax item of a type that decreases the amount of Taxes paid by, or increases the amount of a Tax refund paid to, such Person.

SECTION 8.03 Limitations on Indemnification.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement:

(a) Neither Seller nor any Seller Owner shall be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Person for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) (other than Fundamental Representations) and Purchaser shall not be obligated to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Person for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 8.02(b)(i) (other than Fundamental Representations), in each case, for any claim the Losses for which do not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (the “Threshold”).

“Fundamental Representations” means the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 (Organization, Good Standing), Section 3.02 (Capitalization; Subsidiaries), Section 3.01A (Organization, Good Standing), Section 3.02A (Title), Section 3.03A (Authority), Section 3.07A (Ownership), Section 3.01B (Organization, Good Standing), Section 3.02B (Authority), Section 4.01 (Organization; Good Standing), Section 4.02 (Authority) and Section 4.05 (Capitalization of Purchaser).

(b) Neither Seller nor any Seller Owner shall be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Person for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) (other than Fundamental Representations) and Purchaser shall not be obligated to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Person for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 8.02(b)(i) (other than Fundamental Representations), in each case, until the Purchaser Indemnified Persons or the Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable, have incurred aggregate Losses in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Deductible”) and then only in excess of the Deductible; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no single Loss which is less than the Threshold shall be applied to satisfying the Deductible.

(c) The maximum amount of all monetary Losses (the “Cap”) subject to indemnification by Seller and Seller Owners, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, pursuant to this Article VIII shall be as follows:

(i) For Losses arising out of, resulting from or attributable to breaches of representations and warranties (other than Fundamental Representations) for which indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) or Section 8.02(b)(i), as applicable, is available, Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) in the aggregate;

(ii) For all other Losses for which indemnification is available pursuant to pursuant to Section 8.02(a), Section 8.02(b), Section 8.04(a) or Section 8.04(b) (other than those subject to the Cap set forth in Section 8.03(c)(i)), the Purchase Price. In no event shall Seller’s and Seller Owners’, on the one hand, or Purchaser’s, on the other hand, indemnification obligations under this Agreement exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price.

The value of Equity Consideration to be included in the Purchase Price for the purposes of Section 8.03(c) shall be equal to the product of 4,300,000 multiplied by the per share average closing price for the ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to the date hereof.

(d) No party responsible for indemnification under this Article VIII, shall be liable for any consequential damages, including loss of revenue, income or profits, loss in value of assets or securities, punitive, special or indirect damages, relating to any breach of this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, intentional misconduct or intentional misrepresentation.

(e) In any case where a Purchaser Indemnified Person recovers under insurance policies or from Collateral Sources any amount in respect of a matter for which such Purchaser Indemnified Person previously was indemnified pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Indemnified Person shall promptly pay over to Seller the amount so recovered but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid to or on behalf of such Purchaser Indemnified Person in respect of such matter, and (ii) any amount expended by Seller in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

(f) In any case where a Seller Indemnified Person recovers under insurance policies or from Collateral Sources any amount in respect of a matter for which such Seller Indemnified Person previously was indemnified pursuant to this Agreement, such Seller Indemnified Person shall promptly pay over to Purchaser the amount so recovered but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid to or on behalf of such Seller Indemnified Person in respect of such matter, and (ii) any amount expended by Purchaser in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

(g) AFTER THE CLOSING, EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD, INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OR INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLES VIII AND IX SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR MONETARY DAMAGES FOR THE PARTIES HERETO FOR ANY MISREPRESENTATION OR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY, COVENANT OR OTHER PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH OR SAFETY MATTERS, INCLUDING THOSE ARISING UNDER CERCLA OR ANY OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS OR ANY OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS OR TAX MATTERS); PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8.03(g) SHALL LIMIT PURCHASER’S ABILITY TO RECOVER MONETARY DAMAGES FROM THE PARTIES TO, AND PURSUANT TO, THE STOCK RESTRICTION AGREEMENTS, THE RELEASES, THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, THE NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS OR THE INVESTOR LETTERS.

(h) In valuing a Loss, no adjustment shall be made as a result of any multiple, increase factor, or any other premium over fair market value, book or historical value which may have been paid by Purchaser for the Purchased Stock whether or not such multiple, increase factor or other premium had been used by Purchaser at the time of, or in connection with, calculating or preparing its proposed purchase price for the Purchased Stock.

SECTION 8.04 Tax Indemnification.

(a) Seller and each Seller Owner shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Persons and hold them harmless from and against, any loss, claim, liability, expense, or other damage attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company Parties for all taxable periods ending on or before the

Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company Parties (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation, and (iii) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company Parties) imposed on the Company Parties as a transferee or successor, by contract (other than (x) any contract solely among the Company Parties and (y) any credit or other commercial contract or agreement the principal purpose of which does not relate to Taxes) or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) above, Seller and Seller Owners shall be liable (jointly and severally) only to the extent that such Taxes exceed the sum of the Tax Reserve and the amount of any refund or credit of Taxes described in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 5.03(f) to which Purchaser or the Company Parties are entitled (to the extent such refund or credit is not already accounted for in the Tax Reserve). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in calculating the Taxes for which Seller and Seller Owners, on the one hand, and Purchaser and the Company Parties, on the other hand, are responsible for pursuant to Section 8.04(a) and Section 8.04(b), any items of income and gain that arise after the Closing on the Closing Date and that are not in the ordinary course of business of the Company Parties shall be deemed to arise on the day immediately succeeding the Closing Date.

(b) Purchaser and the Company Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Seller Indemnified Persons from and against any Taxes of the Company Parties (x) for any Post-Closing Tax Period or, to the extent that the responsibility for such Taxes is allocable to Purchaser under Section 8.04(c), for any Straddle Period, or (y) arising from any action taken by Purchaser or any Company Party on the Closing Date (after the Closing) that is not in the ordinary course of business.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, including in determining the amount of Taxes for which Seller or Purchaser is responsible under Section 8.04(a) or Section 8.04(b):

(i) In the case of any Taxes based on the income or receipts of the Company Parties that are payable with respect to a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (each, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of such Taxes allocable to (x) the portion of the Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date (for which Seller shall be responsible under Section 8.04(a)) and (y) the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day next succeeding the Closing Date (for which Purchaser shall be responsible under Section 8.04(b)) shall be determined on the basis of a deemed closing at the end of the Closing Date of the books and records of the Company Parties.

Closing Date (for which Seller shall be responsible under Section 8.04(a)) shall be equal to the product of such Taxes multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period from the beginning of the Straddle Period through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and the remaining such Taxes shall be allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day next succeeding the Closing Date (for which Purchaser shall be responsible under Section 8.04(b).

(b) If an Indemnitee shall receive notice of any claim or proceeding initiated by a third party which is or may be subject to indemnification (other than in the case of a Tax claim or Tax Proceeding, which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 5.03) (each, a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitee shall promptly give the Indemnitor written notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability which it may have on account of the Third Party Claim, except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder against all Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim and the Indemnitee is reasonably satisfied that the Indemnitor has sufficient funds available to pay any Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled, at its option, to assume and control the defense of such claim by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, provided that the Indemnitor and its counsel shall proceed with diligence and good faith with respect thereto and Indemnitor shall be obligated to post any bonds required in connection with such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to control the defense of such Third Party Claim and employ separate counsel in such Third Party Claim and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitor if: (i) the Indemnitor has failed to promptly assume the defense and employ counsel, (ii) the Indemnitor fails to conduct the defense of the applicable Third Party Claim with diligence and good faith, (iii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief or is a criminal proceeding, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnitee, or (v) the named parties to any such Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include such Indemnitee and any Indemnitor, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by its counsel that there is a conflict of

interest between the Indemnitor and such Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim or with respect to any legal defense which may be available; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not in such event be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in connection with any claim or proceeding.

(c) In the event the Indemnitor exercises its right to undertake the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in such defense and make available to the Indemnitor witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in its possession or under its control relating thereto as are reasonably requested by the Indemnitor. Similarly, in the event the Indemnitee is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make available to the Indemnitee witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in its possession or under its control relating thereto as are reasonably requested by the Indemnitee. No Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnitor without the written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Third Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by the Indemnitee alone, or jointly with the Indemnitor, shall be settled by the Indemnitee without the written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
