The representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year after Closing, unless notice setting forth a specific claim under any such representation or warranty shall be given to Sellers within that period, in which case such representation or warranty shall survive until such claim is finally and fully resolved.

(a) Organization and Authority. Purchaser has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware. Purchaser has the full right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transaction contemplated herein pursuant hereto and to consummate or cause to be consummated the transactions contemplated herein. The person signing this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser is authorized to do so. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor any other documents executed and delivered, or to be executed and delivered, by Purchaser in connection with the transactions described herein, will violate any provision of Purchaser’s organizational documents or of any agreements, regulations, or laws to or by which Purchaser is bound.

(b) Consents. Purchaser has obtained all consents and permissions (if any) related to the transactions herein contemplated and required under Purchaser’s organizational documents or any covenant, agreement, encumbrance, law or regulation by which Purchaser is bound.

(c) Pending Actions. There is no action, suit, arbitration, administrative or judicial administrative proceeding, or unsatisfied order or judgment pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against Purchaser or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, which, if adversely determined, could individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transaction contemplated herein.

(d) Financial Status. Purchaser has adequate financial resources to purchase the Membership Interest. Purchaser is solvent, has not made a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, and has not admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due. Purchaser has neither filed, nor does it contemplate the filing of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or any

-16-

other proceeding for the relief of debtors in general, nor has any such proceeding been instituted by or against Purchaser, nor is any such proceeding to Purchaser’s knowledge threatened or contemplated. The purchase of the Membership Interest will not render Purchaser insolvent.

4.5 Survival of Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section 4.4 shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year after Closing, unless notice setting forth a specific claim under any such representation or warranty shall be given to Purchaser within that period, in which case such representation or warranty shall survive until such claim is finally and fully resolved.

4.6 Indemnification by Sellers. From and after the Closing, Sellers shall be liable for and shall pay, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and the Company (and each of their respective members, officers and employees) (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against, any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, the “Damages”) sustained by a Purchaser Indemnitee, in excess of insurance proceeds actually received by the Purchaser Indemnitee and other amounts actually received by the Purchaser Indemnitee from Seller or third parties in partial or complete settlement or satisfaction of such Damages, resulting from or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or demand by a person or entity that is not a Purchaser Indemnitee (i) relating to liabilities or obligations for which the Company has any liability or obligation after the Closing Date that are not expressly contemplated by this Agreement to continue as obligations of the Company after the Closing; or (ii) arising from the operation of the business of the Company prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article to the contrary, except to the extent expressly covered by any representation, warranty or covenant made by Sellers in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, in no event shall the obligations of Seller or Parent in this Section 4.6 apply to, nor shall any Purchaser Indemnitee be entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.6 for, any claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses relating to or associated with the condition or use of the Real Property or the Tangible Personal Property, including (without limitation) the habitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, zoning, latent or patent physical or environmental condition, utilities, operating history or projections, valuation, or the compliance with governmental laws as the foregoing relate to the Real Property and the Tangible Personal Property. The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall survive for a period of five (5) years after Closing, unless notice setting forth a specific claim for Damages for which any Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be given to Sellers or Sellers otherwise shall obtain actual knowledge of any such Damages within that period, in which case the provisions of this Section 4.6 shall survive as to such Damages until the same are finally and fully resolved; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 4.6 shall survive indefinitely (subject to any applicable statute of limitations) as to any Damages for which any Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder related to Taxes.
