(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 3.10 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.

• Indemnification Escrow (a) The Escrow Deposit Amount, or from and after the Closing the Remaining Escrow Deposit Amount, shall (subject to the terms and conditions of Article 6) serve as and be the sole and exclusive source for payment of claims for indemnification by any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Article 6. The Escrow Letter of Credit, which shall be provided at the Closing by Purchaser to the Escrow Agent in respect of the Escrow Deposit Amount, shall be held by the Escrow Agent in an account (the “Indemnity Escrow Account”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Escrow Agreement”). (b) On the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing, the Escrow Agent shall pay and disburse to the Partnership, via a draw on the funds available under the Escrow Letter of Credit, the Initial Indemnity Release Amount calculated in accordance with Section 2.13, and the amount available to be drawn under the Escrow Letter of Credit and the aggregate principal amount of the Escrow Letter of Credit shall be reduced to reflect the foregoing draw and payment. (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in the Escrow Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Partnership is entitled, pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, to funds to be drawn from the Escrow Letter of Credit and the Escrow Agent is not able to draw all or any part of such funds from the Escrow Letter of Credit after receiving a notice (formatted as a joint written instruction) directing it to draw and release such funds, whether due to the expiration of the Escrow Letter of Credit, technical draw issues or otherwise, then, and in any such event, Purchaser shall deliver to the Partnership, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, not later than three (3) business days (with time of the essence) after a written request therefor from the Partnership, the amount of funds to which the Partnership is entitled or, if less than such amount, the remaining amount available to be drawn under the Escrow Letter of Credit, and the amount available to be drawn thereafter under the Escrow Letter of Credit (if not already equal to Zero) shall be reduced by the amount of such wire transfer. Without limiting the forgoing, any inability of the Escrow Agent to draw upon the Escrow Letter of Credit for any amount that is properly payable to the Partnership from the Escrow Letter of Credit or the Indemnity Escrow Account pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement shall not relieve the Purchaser from its obligation to have made or to make such payment to the Partnership, and the Purchaser shall effect such payment by wire transfer in accordance with the preceding sentence. (d) If either Purchaser or the Partnership anticipates that there will be any funds remaining under the Escrow Letter of Credit as of the expiration date of the Escrow Letter of Credit (the “Escrow L/C Expiration”), then Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to the Escrow Agent, at least three (3) business days prior to the Escrow L/C Expiration, a replacement clean, irrevocable and unconditional standby letter of credit in the aggregate face amount equal to the amount of funds remaining under the Escrow Letter of Credit (i) in substantially the same form as the Escrow Letter of Credit or such other form as is reasonably acceptable to the Partnership and the Escrow Agent and (ii) from the then-current lender under the Escrow Letter of Credit or such other lender as is reasonably acceptable to the Partnership (the “Replacement Letter of Credit”). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that if the Escrow Agent has not received a Replacement Letter of Credit from Purchaser and written notice from the Partnership that the Replacement Letter of Credit satisfies the requirements of this Section 2.12(d) at least six (6) business days prior to the Escrow L/C Expiration, then prior to the close of business on the third (3rd) business day prior to the Escrow L/C Expiration (with time of the essence), the Escrow Agent shall draw all funds remaining under the Escrow Letter of Credit and hold such funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account for release pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Escrow Agreement (a “Full Draw Event”). Following the expiration of the Escrow Letter of Credit, all references in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement to the Escrow Letter of Credit shall be deemed to refer to the Replacement Letter of Credit (and any subsequent replacement standby letter of credit that complies with this Section 2.12(d)), and this Section 2.12(d) shall apply to the Replacement Letter of Credit mutatis mutandis. (e) The Parties agree that the Escrow Agreement shall treat the Escrow Letter of Credit and any funds held in the Indemnity Escrow Account as owned by the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Any omission to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Any such indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by such indemnified party unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or proceeding and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party in any such action or proceeding within a reasonable time or (c) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between such indemnified party and indemnifying party in the conduct of the defense of such action (in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such indemnified party), it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (unless the members of such firm are not admitted to practice in a jurisdiction where an action is pending, in which case the indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one additional firm of attorneys to act as local counsel in such jurisdiction, provided the services of such counsel are substantially limited to that of appearing as attorneys of record) at any time for all indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 4 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. (d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 4(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement unless the indemnifying party in good faith shall be contesting the reasonableness of such fees and expenses (but only to the extent so contested) or the entitlement of the indemnified party to indemnification under the terms of this Section 4. (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is for any reason unavailable to hold harmless an indemnified party (other than by reason of the first sentence of Section 4(c)) in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Holders or the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Holders and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 4. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 4 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, in no event shall any Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities purchased and sold by it pursuant to the Purchase Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 4, each Person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser or Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees and affiliates shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser or Holder, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each of the Company’s directors, officers, agents, employees and affiliates shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 4 are several in proportion to the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A to the Purchase Agreement and not joint.
