Exculpation and Indemnification of Escrow Agent 9.1. The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person to make any payment or delivery, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery to be made, or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person's obligations under such document. Except for amendments to this Agreement referred to below, and except for instructions given to the Escrow Agent by the Company and the subscribers relating to the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall not be obligated to recognize any agreement between any and all of the persons referred to herein, notwithstanding that references thereto may be made herein and whether or not it has knowledge thereof. 9.2. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Company or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment. The Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained), which is believed by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Escrow Agreement or any of the terms thereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent, as applicable, signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto. 9.3. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable to the other parties hereto or to anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Except as specifically provided for herein, the Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the use or application of any funds or other property paid or delivered by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Company or to anyone else for any loss which may be incurred by reason of any investment of any monies which it holds hereunder provided the Escrow Agent, as applicable, has complied with the provisions of Section 2 hereunder. 9.4. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the proper person or persons that a fact or an event by reason of which an action would or might be taken by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance upon such assumption. 9.5. To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes, in respect of income derived from the investment of funds held hereunder or any payment made hereunder, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, may pay such taxes. The Escrow Agent, as applicable, may withhold from any payment of monies held by it hereunder such amount as the Escrow Agent, as applicable, estimates to be sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes not yet paid, and may use the sum withheld for that purpose. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless against any liability for taxes and for any penalties or interest in respect of taxes, on such investment income or payments in the manner provided in Section 9.6. 9.6. The Escrow Agent will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Escrow Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, hereunder, the monies or other property held by it hereunder or any income earned from investment of such monies; provided, that such expenses or loss are not as a result of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, acting, or omitting to take action, in bad faith or with willful misconduct or gross negligence promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company, notify the Company thereof in writing, but the failure by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to give such notice shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to the Escrow Agent hereunder. For the purposes hereof, the term "expense or loss" shall include all amounts paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand or liability, or in settlement of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written consent of the Escrow Agent, and all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred in investigating or defending against any such claims, demand, action, suit or proceeding.

INDEMNIFICATION AND RECOVERY H-GAC’s liability under this Agreement, whether for breach of contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability, in tort or otherwise, is limited to its order processing charge. In no event will H-GAC be liable for any loss of use, loss of time, inconvenience, commercial loss, lost profits or savings or other incidental, special or consequential damages to the full extent such use may be disclaimed by law. Contractor agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to defend and hold harmless H-GAC, its board members, officers, agents, officials, employees and indemnities from any and all claims, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney fees), actions, causes of action, judgements, and liens arising as a result of Contractor’s negligent act or omission under this Agreement. Contractor shall notifiy H-GAC of the threat of lawsuit or of any actual suit filed against Contractor relating to this Agreement.
Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance (a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, exculpation, and advancement of expenses existing in favor of the current or former directors and officers of the Company as provided in the Company Organizational Documents, employment agreements, or elsewhere for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, including in respect of the Merger Transactions, shall be assumed and performed by the Surviving Corporation and shall continue in full force and effect until the later of six years after the Effective Time or the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any such claims against directors or officers of the Company arising out of such acts or omissions, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. (b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance in respect of acts, errors or omissions occurring on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the Merger Transactions, covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policies in effect on the date hereof. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if, at or prior to the Effective Time, the Company or Parent (on behalf of the Surviving Corporation) shall purchase six (6) year prepaid “tail” policies on terms and conditions providing coverage retentions, limits and other material terms no less favorable than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company with respect to matters arising at or prior to the Effective Time, except that the Company may not commit or spend on such “tail” policies annual premiums in excess of 300% of the annual premiums paid by the Company in its last full fiscal year prior to the date hereof for the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (the “Base Amount”), and if such premiums for such “tail” policies would exceed 300% of the Base Amount, then the Company shall purchase policies that provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 300% of the Base Amount. The Company shall in good faith cooperate with Parent prior to the Effective Time with respect to the procurement of such “tail” policies, subject to such policy being fully prepaid, including with respect to the selection of the broker, available policy price and coverage options. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder. (c) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successor and assign of Parent or the Surviving Corporation assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 5.4.
Indemnification Matters The Company hereby acknowledges that one (1) or more of the directors nominated to serve on the Board of Directors by the Investors (each a “Fund Director”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more of the Investors and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (a) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to any such Fund Director are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Fund Director are secondary), (b) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Fund Director and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of any such Fund Director to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any agreement between the Company and such Fund Director), without regard to any rights such Fund Director may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and, (c) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of any such Fund Director with respect to any claim for which such Fund Director has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Fund Director against the Company.

Tenant further waives any claim for injury to Tenant’s business or loss of income relating to any such damage or destruction of personal property as described in this Section 29.2. 29.3 Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act, omission or neglect of any other tenant in the Building or the Project, or of any other third party not under the control of Landlord or otherwise in privity of contractual indemnity with Landlord. 29.4 Tenant acknowledges that security devices and services, if any, while intended to deter crime, may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts, Landlord shall not be liable for injuries or losses caused by criminal acts of third parties, and Tenant assumes the risk that any security device or service may malfunction or otherwise be circumvented by a criminal. If Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts, then Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, obtain appropriate insurance coverage. 29.5 The provisions of this Article 29 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Exculpation and Indemnification (a) No Member, Manager, Officer, employee or agent of the Company and no affiliate, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of the Member (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to the Company or any other person or entity who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member shall have no personal liability on account thereof. (c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section. (d) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by the person or entity as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other person or entity’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Member might properly be paid. (e) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person. (f) The foregoing provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Indemnification and Expenses (a) To the extent not previously paid pursuant to Section 4.12(e) of the Prior Agreement, the Company shall (and each of the Shareholders shall take all actions in its capacity as a shareholder necessary to) cause KMI to promptly pay or reimburse each Shareholder for any and all out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, financial advisors and other consultants or advisors) incurred by such Shareholder or its Affiliates (i) as of or prior to the date hereof in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 28, 2006 among KMI, Knight Acquisition Co. and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”) and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) as of, prior to or after the date hereof in connection with any shareholder litigation in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including any amounts paid as damages or in settlement thereof. Any fees and expenses for which any Shareholder is entitled to payment or reimbursement pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid or reimbursed promptly after such fees or expenses are incurred by such Shareholder and notice thereof is provided to the Company. (b) From and after the date hereof, all reasonable fees and expenses of each Investor Shareholder (with respect to all periods prior to such Investor Shareholder ceasing to hold Class A Shares or Related Shares) and their counsel related to the administration of, and their rights and obligations under, the Charter, Bylaws and this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, provided, that such fees and expenses must be approved in advance by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). (c) All fees and expenses (including legal and other advisory fees and expenses) of the Investor Shareholders and their Affiliates incident to the IPO, including with respect to the evaluation, preparation, negotiation, structuring (tax, accounting, legal or otherwise), implementation and consummation thereof, and with respect to previously contemplated potential structures for an initial public offering of Knight Holdco LLC (or Subsidiaries or parent companies of Knight Holdco LLC) pursuant to the Prior Agreement, shall be borne by the Company, and shall be paid or reimbursed promptly after presentation of an invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be responsible for any underwriting discounts or commissions or for fees and expenses of any Investor Shareholder or its Affiliates in their capacity as an underwriter of the IPO pursuant to this Section 7.12(c). (d) With respect to any indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 5.8 and Section 7.12 of this Agreement, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to all indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 5.8 and Section 7.12 of this Agreement (i.e., its obligations to an applicable indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Investor Shareholders and their Affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”) to advance expenses or to provide indemnification and/or insurance for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such indemnitee are secondary) and (ii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. For clarification, this Section 7.12(d) shall have no impact on the Selling Shareholders’ indemnification obligations under Section 5.8(b) of this Agreement or the parties’ respective contribution obligations as set forth under Section 5.8(f), and the Company is not waiving, relinquishing or releasing any claims against the Selling Shareholders that may arise under Section 5.8(b) or, with respect to the parties’ respective contribution obligations, Section 5.8(f). (i) Each Person that is included within the definition of a particular Investor Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of any Class A Shareholder under Section 2.3(b) of this Agreement (arising in respect of such Investor Shareholder’s Class A Series) if such Class A Shareholder also is within the definition of such particular Investor Shareholder. (ii) In the event that any Person (the “Applicable Seller”) included within the definition of a particular Investor Shareholder converts any Class A Shares in order to Transfer Class P Shares at a time when all other holders of Class A Shares of such Investor Shareholder’s Class A Series are not converting the same pro rata share of their Class A Shares in order to Transfer Class P Shares (such conversion and Transfer by the Applicable Seller, the “Applicable Transaction”), each Person that is included within the definition of such Investor Shareholder (the “Indemnifying Shareholders”) agrees to, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Company, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, the holders of Class B Shares in such series and the holders of Class C Shares in such series from and against all Losses caused by, resulting from or relating to any lawsuit, claim, litigation or proceeding in which the indemnified party is included, brought by one or more investors or partners in any Person that is included within such definition of such particular Investor Shareholder, alleging a Loss based on the non-pro rata nature of the Applicable Transaction; provided, that this Section 7.12(e) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the indemnified parties with respect to any such Losses caused by, resulting from or relating to any such lawsuit, claim, litigation or proceeding.
