• 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.

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 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.

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.
